Common use of Right to Contest Impositions Clause in Contracts

Right to Contest Impositions. Tenant, at its sole cost, shall have the right to contest, in accordance with the provisions of the laws relating to such contests, any real estate taxes, assessments, or other Impositions against the Premises and the failure of Tenant to pay such taxes, assessments, or charges shall not constitute a default by Tenant so long as Tenant complies with the provisions of this Section 10.02. Prior to initiating any contest or proceeding, Tenant shall give Landlord written notice of such contest, or proceeding and shall either deposit with Landlord, or furnish good and sufficient undertaking and sureties designating Landlord as the beneficiary thereof, in such amount as Landlord deems to be sufficient, considering the amount of such taxes, charges, assessments, any potential penalties and interest thereon, and any potential expenses that might be incurred by Landlord with respect thereto. Landlord shall not be required to join in any proceeding or contest brought by Tenant unless the provisions of any law require that the proceeding or contest be brought by or in the name of Landlord or any owner of the Premises. In that case, Landlord shall join in the proceeding or contest or permit such proceeding or contest to be brought in its name as long as Landlord is not required to bear any cost. Tenant, on final determination of the proceeding or contest, shall immediately pay or discharge any decision or judgment rendered, together with all costs, charges, interest and penalties incidental to the decision or judgment.
