Such notice and documentation shall be provided by Landlord to Tenant within thirty (30) days after the date of the occurrence which gives rise to Landlord's claimed loss, damage or expense.

Presentation of this Lease by Tenant to Landlord shall not constitute an offer unless the Lease has been signed by Tenant, and this Lease shall not be binding until executed by both Landlord and Tenant. 22: Successors; Separability. Subject to the provisions regarding assignment, this Lease shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the successors -in -interest and permitted assigns or subtenants of the parties and any grantee of Landlord. 23: Notices.

(A) Tenant shall operate Tenant Facilities in a manner that shall not cause physical, mechanical, radio frequency or signal interference to Landlord and other tenants or licensees of the Property, provided that their installation predates the execution of this Lease.

Landlord shall have the right to install equipment that is in compliance with all FCC standards and regulations. (C) Should Landlord or citizens thereof claim interference with their existing residential uses due to Tenant Facilities, Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, cooperate with Landlord to determine if Tenant Facilities are the source of such claimed interference. Such cooperation shall include but not be limited to intermodulation studies.
