Article 5. Damage to the Properties. Visitor shall ensure that the Properties remain in good repair, order and condition, and agrees to fully reimburse DeCrescente, upon DeCrescente’s demand, for any and all costs incurred by DeCrescente to repair any damage directly or indirectly caused by Visitor to the Properties.

Article 8. Insurance. DeCrescente values the relationship we have with our preferred vendors. However, due to recent changes imposed by our insurance carriers, we have found it necessary to implement the insurance requirements for use with all vendors and Visitors who will be working on DeCrescente property for any length of time. As such, prior to beginning any work on DeCrescente’s property, upon request by DeCrescente, Visitor agrees to provide a Certificate of Insurance (COI) demonstrating coverages.

Article 9. Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement or its application to any person or circumstance shall to any extent be held invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement or its application to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid or unenforceable shall not be affected thereby, and each such remaining provision of this Agreement shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Article 10. Waiver.

No failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any right, remedy, power, or privilege arising from this Agreement shall operate or be construed as a waiver thereof on any other occasion, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power, or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power, or privilege.
