No trust relationship is created herein between Landlord and Tenant with respect to said Security Deposit.

5.2.            Compliance with Law.

In the event it is determined that this warranty has been violated then it shall be the obligation of the Landlord, after written notice from Tenant, to promptly, at Landlord's sole cost and expense, rectify any such violation. In the event Tenant does not give to Landlord written notice of the violation of this warranty within thirty (30) days from the date Tenant learns of the violation, the correction of same shall be the obligation of the Tenant at Tenant's sole cost.

 

5.2.2 Except as provided in Paragraph 5.2.1, Tenant shall, at Tenant's expense, promptly comply with all applicable federal, state, and local statutes, ordinances, rules, regulations, orders, covenants and restrictions of record, and requirements of any fire insurance, underwriters or rating bureaus, now in effect or which may hereafter come into effect, whether or not they reflect a change in policy from that now existing, during the term or any part of the term hereof, relating in any manner to the Premises and the occupation and use by Tenant of the Premises and of the Common Areas. Tenant shall not use nor permit the use of the Premises or the Common Areas in any manner that will tend to create waste or a nuisance or shall tend to disturb other occupants of the Gateway Plaza.

In the event that it is determined that this warranty has been violated, then it shall be the obligation of Landlord, after receipt of written notice from Tenant setting forth with specificity the nature of the violation to promptly, at Landlord's sole cost, rectify such violation. Tenant's failure to give such written notice to Landlord within ninety (90) days after the Commencement Date shall cause the conclusive presumption that Landlord has complied with all of Landlord's obligations hereunder.
