Your Guide to
Public
Transportation
Page 1
Introduction
New Jersey, and West Orange in particular, enjoys the
benefits of an excellent public transportation system.
West Orange On The Go! has developed Your Guide
to Public Transportation to help West Orange’s senior
citizens understand available transportation resources.
Public transportation is a safe and economical way to
visit family and friends and to travel to stores,
restaurants, doctors’ offices and many other
destinations. Riding the bus and train can be much
easier than fighting traffic and searching for a parking
space. Public transportation helps us maintain our
independence. We can make our own travel decisions
without having to rely on other people.
For people who drive there are many services available
to help us do so safely and comfortably. Cars have
changed and so have traffic rules, driving conditions,
and the roads we travel every day. Some common
age- related changes can affect driving as well.
We wish to thank the Township and local organizations
who helped develop this Guide. Organizations include
Jewish Federation of Greater MetroWest NJ, JCC
MetroWest & the Jewish Community Housing
Corporation. Major funding for West Orange On The
Go! was provided by a grant from the Jewish
Community Foundation of Greater MetroWest NJ.

Local Bus Service in West Orange
Two local NJ TRANSIT bus routes travel through
West Orange. Transfers can be made to other
bus lines on Main St. in West Orange and Orange
and at the Livingston Mall. They operate seven
days a week, but schedules are different on
weekends.
The #73 travels from Livingston Mall through
Livingston, West Orange, Orange, East Orange
and into Newark Penn Station.
The #71 travels from West Caldwell through
Caldwell, Essex Fells, Roseland, Livingston,
West Orange, Orange, East Orange and into
Newark Penn Station.
NJ TRANSIT buses are accessible: they “kneel” to
lower the height of the first step and have lifts for
any riders who cannot use steps. Passengers must
ask the driver to kneel the bus or use the lift.
NJ TRANSIT “mybus”
The mybus service tells customers when the next
buses are scheduled to arrive at local bus stops.
To Use “mybus”
Call (973) 275-5555 and follow the prompt to dial
the mybus stop ID #. Mybus will then tell you when
the next bus is scheduled to arrive at your stop.
Bus Map on pages 9/10 shows local bus stops.

NJ TRANSIT Reduced Fare Program
Individuals age 62 and over as well as people with
disabilities can save at least 50% on NJ TRANSIT
by using the Reduced Fare Program.
To receive the reduced fare there are two options:
Show the bus operator or train conductor an ID
that is proof of your age (driver’s license or
Medicare card) and ask for “the reduced fare.”
You may also apply for a Reduced Fare ID
Card by calling NJ TRANSIT at (973) 491-7112.
What are “Fare Zones”?
Your bus fare is determined by zones, which are
the distances that you travel. Zones are shown on
the bus schedules with a special line and notation
so you know your fare in advance. You may also
call (973) 275-5555 to confirm bus fares and other
travel information. The bus operator will tell you
how much your fare is when boarding.

Access Link
NJ TRANSIT operates Access Link for customers with
disabilities who cannot use the regular NJ TRANSIT
bus. Some seniors may be eligible for Access Link.
Access Link operates on the same days and hours as
the regular NJ TRANSIT bus and “shadows” the local
bus routes.
Access Link has special
features:
Small buses and cars
provide “curb-to-curb”
service.
Appointments for trips must
be made by the rider or other designee at least 24
hours in advance.
Access Link can be used for any type of trip -
medical, social, shopping, etc.
Please request if you want to ride with a
companion who will pay regular fare or a Personal
Care Attendant (PCA) who can ride for free.
The Access Link Assessment Process
Potential riders must have an in-person
transportation assessment interview.
To arrange an assessment interview at local office,
call (800) 955-2321.
A certification specialist will explain the
assessment process over the phone.
Bring an advocate (family, friend or professional)
to the interview to help you describe your situation.
If you need transportation to the interview, Access
Link will pick you up for a round-trip fare of $4.00.
Page 6
Plan your trip in advance using a trip planner at
njtransit.com or googlemaps.com/transit or
speak to a live operator at customer service.
Keep copies of the schedules for the lines you
use. You can order schedules or plan your trip
with NJ TRANSIT Customer Service by calling
(973) 275-5555. You can look at schedules
online at njtransit.com, coachusa.com.
Bring exact fare and extra change with you.
Also bring any medications you may need
during a trip, your ID Card, the address of your
destination, and emergency phone numbers.
Always get to the bus stop early. It is better to
be 15 minutes early than 15 seconds late!
Sit near the bus operator, if possible, so you
can easily communicate, see the road ahead
and hear any announcements.
Keep aisles clear of bags and packages.
Tell a friend or family member where you are
going and when you plan to return.
Never plan to take the last bus home.

Dear Valued Readers,
Welcome to the 36th edition of the Seniors Blue
Book. With each passing edition the Seniors Blue
Book continues to grow in size, accessibility, and
information. I want to offer you my heart felt thanks
for continuing to turn to and trust the Seniors Blue
Book as your primary go to source for anything and
everything that is related to seniors, caregivers and
their well being.
It is our mission to provide you with all possible
options and opportunities that are available in an easy
to read format. The guide is broken down into three
main sections; Community Resources and Services,
Home Health Care & Non-Medical Home Care Agen-
cies and Senior Housing. We include definitions of
these services and indicate which companies offer these
in the appropriate Home Health and Housing Grids.
We continue to offer the Solutions for Seniors
resource help line at 973-560-0064 for those
that need help navigating the information within
our publication and website and to offer FREE
assistance to those that wish to ask for our
information assistance.
SeniorsBlueBook.com is our dynamic website that
will not only offer all of the information listed in the
Seniors Blue Book, but empower the viewer to find lo-
cal events and activities and post their own events and
activities. The community calendars will be interac-
tive and I am expecting avid participation from both
seniors and their providers. SeniorsBlueBook.com will
also be offering senior professionals their own senior
calendar for networking opportunities, promotion of
their own events and job opportunities. The commu-
nity calendars are only a smidgen of the new informa-
tion that will be available on SeniorsBlueBook.com.
Please log on and check it out for yourself. I promise
that you will bookmark SeniorsBlueBook.com and
come back again and again. Thank you for your con-
tinued support and give me a call or an e-mail if you
have any suggestions or comments that will further
enhance the Seniors Blue Book.
Sincerely,
LETTER FROM THE PUBLISHER

ADULT DAY SERVICES
Adult day programs are for elders who need a place to stay during daytime
hours because they have difficulty functioning alone (i.e. dementia or physical
limitations). The programs offer purpose and stimulation. Most facilities place
participants into groups with specific limitations. For more information call
our Seniors Resource Line at 973-560-0064.

EMERGENCY RESPONSE SYSTEMS
A Personal Emergency Response System (PERS) is an electronic device
designed to let you summon help in an emergency. A PERS has three
components: a small radio transmitter (a help button carried or worn by the
user); a console connected to the user’s telephone; and an emergency response
center that monitors calls. When emergency help (medical, fire, or police) is
needed, the PERS user presses the transmitter’s help button. It sends a radio
signal to the console. The console automatically dials an emergency response
center where the caller is identified. The center will try to determine the nature

of the emergency. If the center cannot contact you or determine whether an
emergency exists, it will alert emergency service providers to go to your home.

HOSPICES
Hospices provide individuals facing terminal illness with clinical and psycho/
social care at home or in a healthcare facility. The mission of hospice is to assist
patients and allow them to live the last stage of their lives with dignity; and
to supplement routine clinical care with expertise in pain control, symptom
management, grief and loss counseling, as well as support services. Most
hospices accept Medicare/Medicaid, insurance and private pay. For more
information call our Seniors Resource Line at 973-560-0064.

Save up to $102 on your Part B premium—one way
Humana may give back to you
A Medicare Advantage plan that may increase your benefits
and the money in your pocket
The HumanaChoice H5216-342 (PPO) Medicare Advantage plan includes a Part
B giveback. That means it may reduce your monthly Medicare Part B premium.
This could be either through a credit to your Social Security check or by reducing
the monthly amount you pay directly to Medicare, depending on how you pay
your premium.
Besides potentially saving you money with the giveback, the plan may help you
reach your health goals, with benefits you might not get with Original Medicare,
such as:
• Part B premium reduction, for $102 more in Social Security each month
• $0 monthly plan premium
• Advanced imaging, X-rays and lab work

A Medicare Advantage plan that may increase your benefits
and the money in your pocket
The HumanaChoice H5216-342 (PPO) Medicare Advantage plan includes a Part
B giveback. That means it may reduce your monthly Medicare Part B premium.
This could be either through a credit to your Social Security check or by reducing
the monthly amount you pay directly to Medicare, depending on how you pay
your premium.
Besides potentially saving you money with the giveback, the plan may help you
reach your health goals, with benefits you might not get with Original Medicare,
such as:
• Part B premium reduction, for $102 more in Social Security each month
• $0 monthly plan premium
• Advanced imaging, X-rays and lab work

Medicare 2024 “In A Nutshell”
(Parts A, B & Medigap Plans)
Original Medicare is a government health insurance program primarily for
people age 65 and older. It has four main parts: A, B, C & D. The chart below
is an example of how Parts A & B work together with a traditional
Medicare supplement also known as a “Medigap Plan.”
Medicare
Part A
Hospital Insurance
Generally no cost
(If you paid Medicare taxes
while working)
$1,632 deductible
(per benefit period)
It is possible to pay the
$1632 deductible and other
daily charges for multiple
stays & extended care.
Plan covers: Inpatient
hospital care, home health
care services, hospice, in-
patient skilled nursing & more.
Providers are paid
by Medicare assignment.
No coverage outside USA.
No out-of-pocket maximum.
Many people add a Medigap
plan, Part D or an Advan-
tage Plan (Part C) to fill the
“gaps” in the coverage.
Medicare
Part B
Medical Insurance
Most people pay
monthly $174.90
(Premium could be higher
based on income)
$240 annual deductible.
(this can increase each year)
80/20 after deductible.
Plan covers: health care
providers, ambulance,
emergency care, outpatient
surgical, wellness &
other Medicare approved
benefits
Most doctors accept
Medicare.
No coverage outside the USA.
No out-of-pocket maximum.
Many people add a Medigap
plan, Part D or an Advan-
tage Plan (Part C) to fill the
“gaps” in the coverage.
Supplemental Policy
Plans A - N
Medigap
Premium varies by company,
age, location & other factors.
Guarantee Issue at
initial enrollment
(Other special enrollment
periods may be avalable)
These plans generally pay
the 20% not covered
by Part B & other
Medicare eligible benefits
When this coordinates with
Medicare, many benefits are
100% covered
Can provide benefits
outside USA
Plans are available through
insurance companies.
Important to add Part D plan
to cover prescription drugs &
avoid penalties.
Must have Part A & B to enroll.
There is NO additional cost to use the services of a full time insurance professional.
Please call us or a broker in your local area for additional assistance.
This article was written by Craig N. Anderson, President of
Anderson Benefits, Inc. located in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Medicare 2024 “In A Nutshell”
Med Advantage (Part C) with RX (Part D)
Medicare Advantage plans are governed by Medicare. They are only offered through
insurance companies that have an annual contract with Medicare. They are NOT the
same as Medigap policies. They must cover all Medicare approved services.
Most Advantage plans include Part D prescription drug coverage.
Advantage Plans
Part C
INSTEAD of a Medigap Plan (A-N)
Premium varies by company and coverage.
(Same premium for all ages).
Part B premium $174.70 is still paid
(Premium can be higher
depending on income)
There are many plan types available:
PPO, HMO, HSA, etc.
Plans have co-pays and / or coinsurance
for covered benefits & services.
Preventive care is covered 100%.
Plans have an annual
out-of pocket maximum.
Plans may have additional services and
discounts, including dental, vision,
gym membership & more.
There is an Annual Election Period (AEP)
which runs from October 15–December
7 of each year. This is the time to make
changes in company or coverage.
Must have Part A & B to enroll.
Medicare
Part D
Drug Program
Premium varies by company and coverage.
(Same premium for all ages).
Plans are generally a variation of the following:
Deductible (Phase I)
$0–$545 deductible
Initial Coverage (Phase II)
co-pay coverage until the total
cost of the drugs = $5,030
Coverage Gap / Doughnut Hole (Phase III)
The member now pays much more for covered drugs
25% generic / 25% brand. There is a drug
manufacture discount on certain drugs that can
count toward the “True out-of-pocket” (TrOOP).
You remain here until the $8,000 (TrOOP) has
been met. It’s estimated you will pay about
$3,300 of the $8,000.
Catastrophic Coverage (Phase IV)
$0 for covered drugs on the plan’s formulary
for the rest of the calandar year
Approved formulary insulins are no more
than $35 per month.
Part D can be separate with Medigap & PFFS plans.
There is a penalty for late enrollment into Part D.
Annual Election Period is Oct 15–Dec 7 each year
Must have Part A or B to enroll.

This information is the opinion of the author and intended as an easy to read summary.
This is not a contract. Additional limitations and exclusions may apply to services.
In the event of any inconsistencies with Medicare or with a published medical insurers certificate,
the certificate / Medicare will control. Prepared 10/2023

its indemnification obligation in respect of such claim, expect to the extent the
indemnifying Party can establish actual prejudice and direct damages as a result
thereof. The indemnified Party will cooperate appropriately with the indemnifying
Party in connection with the indemnifying Party’s defense of such claim. The
indemnifying Party shall defend any indemnified Party, at the indemnified Party’s
request, against any claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified
Party. The indemnifying Party shall not settle or compromise any such claim or
consent to the entry of any judgment without the prior written consent of each
indemnified Party and without an unconditional release of all claims by each claimant
or plaintiff in favor of each indemnified Party.

14.
INTERFERENCE. LESSEE agrees to install equipment of the type
and frequency which will not cause harmful interference which is measurable in
accordance with then existing industry standards to any equipment of LESSOR or
other LESSEEs of the Property which existed on the Property prior to the date this
Agreement is executed by the Parties. In the event any after-installed LESSEE’s
Equipment causes such interference, for a period in excess of ninety (90) days after
LESSOR has notified LESSEE in writing of such interference, LESSEE will take all
commercially reasonable steps necessary to correct and eliminate the interference,
including but not limited to, at LESSOR’s option, powering down such equipment
and later powering up such equipment for intermittent testing. In no event will
LESSOR be entitled to terminate this Agreement or relocate the equipment as long
as LESSEE is making a good faith effort to remedy the interference issue. LESSOR
agrees that LESSOR and/or any other tenants of the Property who currently have or
in the future take possession of the Property will be permitted to install only such
equipment that is of the type and frequency which will not cause harmful interference
which is measurable in accordance with then existing industry standards to the then
existing equipment of LESSEE. The Parties acknowledge that there will not be an
adequate remedy at law for noncompliance with the provisions of this Paragraph and
therefore, either Party shall have the right to equitable remedies, such as, without
limitation, injunctive relief and specific performance. It is understood that in any
dispute arising out of the definition of harmful under industry standards the LESSOR
will conduct a good faith evaluation and will make the sole determination if harm has
been caused or is likely to occur.

the Term, or within ninety (90) days after any earlier termination of the Agreement,
remove its building(s), antenna(s), equipment, conduits, fixtures, electrical, phone
and gas supply, and all personal property and restore the Premises to its original
condition, reasonable wear and tear and casualty damage excepted. LESSOR agrees
and acknowledges that all of the equipment, conduits, fixtures and personal property
of LESSEE shall remain the personal property of LESSEE and LESSEE shall have
the right to remove the same at any time during the Term. If such time for removal
causes LESSEE to remain on the Premises after termination of this Agreement,
LESSEE shall pay Rent at the then existing monthly rate or on the existing monthly
pro-rata basis if based upon a longer payment term, until such time as the removal of
the building, antenna structure, fixtures and all personal property are completed.

Paragraph 16 herein, unless the Parties are negotiating a new lease or lease extension
in good faith. In the event that the Parties are not in the process of negotiating a new
lease or lease extension in good faith, LESSEE holds over in violation of Paragraph
16 and this Paragraph 17, then the Rent then in effect payable from and after the time
39
of the expiration or earlier removal period set forth in Paragraph 16 shall be equal to
the Rent applicable during the month immediately preceding such expiration or
earlier termination.

legal instrument an interest in and to that portion of the Tower and or Property
occupied by LESSEE, or a larger portion thereof, for the purpose of operating and
maintaining communications facilities or the management thereof, such sale or grant
of an easement or interest therein shall be under and subject to this Agreement and
any such purchaser or transferee shall recognize LESSEE's rights hereunder under
the terms of this Agreement. To the extent that LESSOR grants to a third party by

communications facilities or the management thereof and in conjunction therewith,
assigns this Agreement to said third party, LESSOR shall not be released from its

such finding shall not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining
provisions of this Agreement. The failure of either Party to insist upon strict
performance of any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement or to exercise any
of its rights under the Agreement shall not waive such rights and such Party shall
40
have the right to enforce such rights at any time and take such action as may be lawful
and authorized under this Agreement, in law or in equity.
22.
GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement and the performance thereof
shall be governed, interpreted, construed and regulated by the Laws of the State of

substantially all of LESSEE's assets in the market defined by the Federal
Communications Commission in which the Property is located by reason of a merger,
acquisition or other business reorganization. As to other parties, this Agreement may
not be sold, assigned or transferred without the written consent of the LESSOR, which
such consent will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. No change

LESSOR:
West Orange Township
66 Main Street
West Orange, New Jersey 07052
LESSEE:
Notice shall be effective upon actual receipt or refusal as shown on the receipt
obtained pursuant to the foregoing.
25.
SUCCESSORS. This Agreement shall extend to and bind the heirs,
personal representative, successors and assigns of the Parties hereto.
26.
SUBORDINATION AND NON-DISTURBANCE. LESSOR shall
obtain not later than fifteen (15) days following the execution of this Agreement, a
Non-Disturbance Agreement, as defined below, from its existing mortgagee(s),
ground LESSORs and master LESSORs, if any, of the Property. At LESSOR's
41
option, this Agreement shall be subordinate to any future master lease, ground lease,
mortgage, deed of trust or other security interest (a “Mortgage”) by LESSOR which
from time to time may encumber all or part of the Property, Tower or right-of-way;
provided, however, as a condition precedent to LESSEE being required to
subordinate its interest in this Agreement to any future Mortgage covering the Tower
or Property, LESSOR shall obtain for LESSEE's benefit a non-disturbance and
attornment agreement for LESSEE's benefit in the form reasonably satisfactory to
LESSEE, and containing the terms described below (the “Non-Disturbance
Agreement”), and shall recognize LESSEE's right to remain in occupancy of and have
access to the Premises as long as LESSEE is not in default of this Agreement beyond
applicable notice and cure periods. The Non-Disturbance Agreement shall include
the encumbering party's (“Lender's”) agreement that, if Lender or its
successor-in-interest or any purchaser of Lender’s or its successor’s interest (a
“Purchaser”) acquires an ownership interest in the Tower or Property, Lender or such
successor-in-interest or Purchaser will (1) honor all of the terms of the Agreement,
(2) fulfill LESSOR's obligations under the Agreement, and (3) promptly cure all of
the then-existing LESSOR defaults under the Agreement. Such Non-Disturbance
Agreement must be binding on all of Lender's participants in the subject loan (if any)
and on all successors and assigns of Lender and/or its participants and on all
Purchasers. In return for such Non-Disturbance Agreement, LESSEE will execute
an agreement for Lender's benefit in which LESSEE (1) confirms that the Agreement
is subordinate to the Mortgage or other real property interest in favor of Lender, (2)
agrees to attorn to Lender if Lender becomes the owner of the Tower or Property and
(3) agrees accept a cure by Lender of any of LESSOR's defaults, provided such cure
is completed within the deadline applicable to LESSOR. In the event LESSOR
defaults in the payment and/or other performance of any mortgage or other real
property interest encumbering the Property, LESSEE, may, at its sole option and
without obligation, cure or correct LESSOR's default and upon doing so, LESSEE
shall be subrogated to any and all rights, titles, liens and equities of the holders of
such mortgage or other real property interest and LESSEE shall be entitled to deduct
and setoff against all rents that may otherwise become due under this Agreement the
sums paid by LESSEE to cure or correct such defaults.
27.
RECORDING. LESSOR agrees to execute a Memorandum of this
Agreement which LESSEE may record with the appropriate recording officer. The
date set forth in the Memorandum of Lease is for recording purposes only and bears
no reference to commencement of either the Term or Rent payments.
28.
DEFAULT.
a. In the event there is a breach by LESSEE with respect to any of the
provisions of this Agreement or its obligations under it, including the payment of
Rent, LESSOR shall give LESSEE written notice of such breach. After receipt of
such written notice, LESSEE shall have fifteen (15) business days in which to cure
any monetary breach and thirty (30) business days in which to cure any non-monetary
breach, provided LESSEE shall have such extended period as may be required
42
beyond the thirty (30) business days if the nature of the cure is such that it reasonably
requires more than thirty (30) business days and LESSEE commences the cure within
the thirty (30) business day period and thereafter continuously and diligently pursues
the cure to completion. LESSOR may not maintain any action or effect any remedies
for default against LESSEE unless and until LESSEE has failed to cure the breach
within the time periods provided in this Paragraph. The Lessor has the right to
determine the adequacy of the cure to correct any default. Notwithstanding the
foregoing to the contrary, it shall be a default under this Agreement if LESSEE fails,
within five (5) business days after receipt of written notice of such breach, to perform
an obligation required to be performed by the contract if the failure to perform such
an obligation interferes with LESSOR’s ability to conduct its business on the
Property; provided, however, that if the nature of LESSEE’s obligation is such that
more than five (5) business days after such notice is reasonably required for its
performance, then it shall not be a default under this Agreement if performance is
commenced within such five (5) business day period and thereafter diligently pursued
to completion
b.
In the event there is a breach by LESSOR with respect to any
of the provisions of this Agreement or its obligations under it, LESSEE shall give
LESSOR written notice of such breach. After receipt of such written notice,
LESSOR shall have thirty (30) business days in which to cure any such breach,
provided LESSOR shall have such extended period as may be required beyond the
thirty (30) business days if the nature of the cure is such that it reasonably requires
more than thirty (30) business days and LESSOR commences the cure within the
thirty (30) business day period and thereafter continuously and diligently pursues the
cure to completion. LESSEE may not maintain any action or effect any remedies for
default against LESSOR unless and until LESSOR has failed to cure the breach
within the time periods provided in this Paragraph.
29.
REMEDIES. Upon a default, the non-defaulting Party may at its
option (but without obligation to do so), perform the defaulting Party’s duty or
obligation on the defaulting Party’s behalf, including but not limited to the obtaining
of reasonably required insurance policies. The costs and expenses of any such
performance by the non-defaulting Party shall be due and payable by the defaulting
Party upon invoice therefor. In the event of a default by either Party with respect to
a material provision of this Agreement, without limiting the non-defaulting Party in
the exercise of any right or remedy which the non-defaulting Party may have by
reason of such default, the non-defaulting Party may terminate the Agreement and/or
pursue any remedy now or hereafter available to the non-defaulting Party under the
Laws or judicial decisions of the state in which the Premises are located; provided,
however, the parties shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate its damages in connection
with a default..
30.
ENVIRONMENTAL. LESSEE shall conduct its business in
compliance with all applicable laws governing the protection of the environment or
employee health and safety (“EH&S Laws”). LESSEE shall indemnify and hold
harmless the LESSOR from claims to the extent resulting from LESSEE’s violation
43
of any applicable EH&S Laws or to the extent that LESSEE causes a release of any
regulated substance to the environment. The Parties recognize that LESSEE is only
leasing a small portion of LESSOR’s property and that LESSEE shall not be
responsible for any environmental condition or issue except to the extent resulting
from LESSEE’s activities on the property and responsibilities. In the event that
LESSEE encounters any hazardous substances that do not result from its activities,
LESSEE may relocate its facilities to avoid such hazardous substances to a mutually
agreeable location or, if LESSEE desires to remove at its own cost all or some the
hazardous substances or materials (such as soil) containing those hazardous
substances, LESSOR agrees to sign any necessary waste manifest associated with the
removal, transportation and/or disposal of such substances.
31.
CASUALTY.
a.
In the event of damage by fire or other casualty to the Tower or
Premises that cannot reasonably be expected to be repaired within forty-five (45)
days following same or, if the Property is damaged by fire or other casualty so that
such damage may reasonably be expected to disrupt LESSEE's operations at the
Premises for more than forty-five (45) days, then LESSEE may, at any time following
such fire or other casualty, provided LESSOR has not completed the restoration
required to permit LESSEE to resume its operation at the Premises, terminate this
Agreement upon fifteen (15) days prior written notice to LESSOR. Any such notice
of termination shall cause this Agreement to expire with the same force and effect as
though the date set forth in such notice were the date originally set as the expiration
date of this Agreement and the Parties shall make an appropriate adjustment, as of
such termination date, with respect to payments due to the other under this
Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Rent shall abate during the period of
repair following such fire or other casualty in proportion to the degree to which
LESSEE’s use of the Premises is impaired.
b.
If the casualty is caused by any of the activities of the LESSEE on
the property which results in telecommunications services to be terminated, LESSEE
shall be responsible for providing temporary telecommunications services of
equivalent capability until permanent services are provided and/or the Tower and is
returned to service.
32.
CONDEMNATION. In the event of any condemnation of all or any
portion of the Property, this Agreement shall terminate as to the part so taken as of
the date the condemning authority takes title or possession, whichever occurs first.
If as a result of a partial condemnation of the Premises or Tower, LESSEE, in
LESSEE’s sole discretion, is unable to use the Premises for the purposes intended
hereunder, or if such condemnation may reasonably be expected to disrupt LESSEE's
operations at the Premises for more than forty-five (45) business days, LESSEE may,
at LESSEE’s option, to be exercised in writing within fifteen (15) business days after
LESSOR shall have given LESSEE written notice of such taking (or in the absence
of such notice, within fifteen (15) business days after the condemning authority shall
have taken possession) terminate this Agreement as of the date the condemning
44
authority takes such possession. LESSEE may on its own behalf make a claim in any
condemnation proceeding involving the Premises for losses related to the equipment,
conduits, fixtures, its relocation costs and its damages and losses (but not for the loss
of its leasehold interest). Any such notice of termination shall cause this Agreement
to expire with the same force and effect as though the date set forth in such notice
were the date originally set as the expiration date of this Agreement and the Parties
shall make an appropriate adjustment as of such termination date with respect to
payments due to the other under this Agreement. If LESSEE does not terminate this
Agreement in accordance with the foregoing, this Agreement shall remain in full
force and effect as to the portion of the Premises remaining, except that the Rent shall
be reduced in the same proportion as the rentable area of the Premises taken bears to
the total rentable area of the Premises. In the event that this Agreement is not
terminated by reason of such condemnation, LESSOR shall promptly repair any
damage to the Premises caused by such condemning authority.
33.
SUBMISSION OF AGREEMENT / PARTIAL INVALIDITY /
AUTHORITY. The submission of this Agreement for examination does not
constitute an offer to lease the Premises and this Agreement becomes effective only
upon the full execution of this Agreement by the Parties. If any provision herein is
invalid, it shall be considered deleted from this Agreement and shall not invalidate
the remaining provisions of this Agreement. Each of the Parties hereto warrants to
the other that the person or persons executing this Agreement on behalf of such Party
has the full right, power and authority to enter into and execute this Agreement on
such Party's behalf and that no consent from any other person or entity is necessary
as a condition precedent to the legal effect of this Agreement.
34.
APPLICABLE LAWS. During the Term, LESSEE shall maintain the
Property and all structural elements of the Premises in compliance with all applicable
laws, rules, regulations, ordinances, directives, covenants, easements, zoning and
land use regulations, and restrictions of record, permits, building codes, and the
requirements of any applicable fire insurance underwriter or rating bureau, now in
effect or which may hereafter come into effect (including, without limitation, the
Americans with Disabilities Act and laws regulating hazardous substances)
(collectively “Laws”). LESSEE shall, in respect to the condition of the Premises and
at LESSEE’s sole cost and expense, comply with (a) all Laws relating solely to
LESSEE’s specific and unique nature of use of the Premises (other than general office
use); and (b) all building codes requiring modifications to the Premises due to
maintenance of common elements of the Premises, as well as the improvements being
made by LESSEE in the Premises.
35.
SURVIVAL. The provisions of the Agreement relating to
indemnification from one Party to the other Party shall survive any transfer,
termination or expiration of this Agreement. Additionally, any provisions of this
Agreement which require performance subsequent to the termination or expiration of
this Agreement shall also survive such termination or expiration.
45
36.
CAPTIONS. The captions contained in this Agreement are inserted
for convenience only and are not intended to be part of the Agreement. They shall
not affect or be utilized in the construction or interpretation of the Agreement.
37.
CO-LOCATION / USE BY OTHER WIRELESS CARRIERS.
It is intended and accepted that the structure and compound shall be made available
for use by multiple Co-Locators. Each Co-Locator shall enter into a lease with the
LESSOR. The lease rate paid shall be the rate bid by that Co-Locator but in no case
less than the minimum bid. Each Co-Locator shall have its choice of available space
on the tower and in the compound in descending order of amount of bid submitted.
LESSEE may choose to install its tower equipment at the approximate elevation of
100’. All Rent will be paid directly to LESSOR. LESSEE shall be solely responsible
for the cost of locating and placing its equipment onto the facility and into ancillary
support facilities, including any support building.
