express or by implication or otherwise, to any contractor, subcontractor, laborer or
materialman for the performance of any labor or the furnishing of any materials for any
specific improvement of, alteration to, or repair of the Project, or any part thereof, nor as
giving Lessee or any other Person any right, power or authority to contract for, or permit

Premises, or any part thereof, or against assets of the City, or City's interest in any
monetary obligations of Lessee as set forth in this Amendment.

the City.

interest in the Premises, or any part thereof, including the Additional Premises, or if any
public improvement lien created, or caused or, with respect to work performed by or on
behalf of Lessee, suffered to be created by Lessee shall be filed against any assets of, or
funds appropriated to, the City, Lessee shall, within 30 days after Lessee receives notice

or public improvement lien, cause it to be discharged of record by payment, deposit, bond,
order of a,court of competent jurisdiction or otherwise.
