In the case of a violation that cannot be reasonably cured within 30 days, a notice of cancellation issued by the City to the Lessee under this Article is stayed if, within the 30-day notice period, the Lessee begins and continues expeditious action to cure the violation. The City will determine if a violation cannot be reasonably cured within 30 days and what constitutes expeditious action. 2. In the case where, in City’s sole determination, Lessee’s violation is considered an imminent threat to public health or safety, or the environment, City will direct the Lessee to stop the activity immediately and may reduce the period to cure the violation, or the City may correct the violation pursuant to (E) of this Article.

Lessee shall reimburse the City for any cost, including legal fees and administrative costs reasonably incurred by the City in acting to correct the imminent threat violation. F. WAIVER: A waiver by the City of any default by the Lessee of any provision of this Lease will not operate as a waiver of any subsequent default.

The waiver by the City of any provision in this Lease cannot be enforced or relied upon unless the waiver is in writing and signed on behalf of the City.

The Lessor will, by written notice, direct the departing Lessee to remove Lessee-owned Permanent Improvements from the Premises, to remediate, consistent with applicable law, any Contamination for which the Lessee is responsible and to restore the Premises to a clean and neat physical condition acceptable to the Lessor if the Lessor determines in writing: i. that the continued presence of the Permanent Improvements on the Premises are not consistent with any written City program or plan required for compliance with applicable federal, state, or local law; ii. that the continued presence of the Permanent Improvements on the Premises is not in the best interest of the City of Kenai; or iii. that the Permanent Improvements present a hazard to public health or safety.
