Cremation. In recent years, there has been steady, gradual growth in the number of families in the United States that have chosen cremation as an alternative to traditional methods of burial. According to industry studies, cremations represented approximately 26% of the U.S. burial market in 2001 and are projected at 36% for 2010, as compared to approximately 10% in 1980. Many parts of the Southern and Midwestern United States and many non-metropolitan communities exhibit significantly lower rates of cremation as a result of religious and cultural traditions. Cremation, historically, has been marketed as a less costly alternative to interment. However, cremation is increasingly marketed as part of a complete service package that includes traditional funeral services and memorialization.

We plan to continue reducing our debt and improving our leverage ratios. Our focus is on improving our organizational leadership and quality of personnel. We made outstanding progress in 2001 toward achievement of our Fresh Start goals. Continued successful execution during 2002 would, in our view, reposition the company as a leader in our industry and should enable us to resume careful, intelligent external growth in 2003.

  • Mowing Mowing, edging (of sidewalks, paved approaches and curbs), litter removal, herbicide treatment, grass clipping removal, and brush control are included under one bid item. Regular mowing under this contract is generally limited to mowing areas of shoulders, front and back slopes of ditches less than or equal to three-to-one (3:1) slope, roadside retention areas, dry roadside ditch bottoms, median islands and various width utility strips and similar areas. Slope mowing, which is also a contract requirement, is generally limited to slopes greater or steeper than three-to-one (3:1) and are relatively inaccessible to the use of conventional mowing equipment (e.g., steep slopes, retention area banks and shores, bridge/overpass banks, canal banks, wet roadside ditches, etc). These types of areas will normally require equipment specifically designed for this type of work. When slope mowing is performed, it will incorporate the use of string trimmers to protect the integrity of the slope and prevent damage to the turf. Sign posts, mailboxes, guardrails, trees, roadside outfall structures, fences, divider walls, shrubs, plants, light poles, utility flags or other such obstacles to mowing will be hand mowed or trimmed around as necessary to present a groomed appearance. Top of vegetation on wet bottom ditches areas must be cut-off to the water’s level. Particular attention will be paid to planted areas. Any damage that occurs to plants, trees, shrubs, mulched beds, tree rings, sprinkler heads, etc., will be repaired or restored, at the Contractor’s expense, before the cycle is completed. Mowing will also include grass clipping removal and litter removal, edging, and herbicide treatment. These costs will be included in the unit price bid for right-of-way mowing.

  • Destruction If the Premises is totally or partially destroyed during the Term, rendering the Premises totally or partially inaccessible or unusable, then (i) Landlord shall restore the Premises to substantially the same condition as it was in immediately before such destruction (including Landlord’s Work), (ii) Landlord will not be required to restore Tenant’s Alterations or Tenant’s Personal Property unless they are an integral part of the Premises and specifically covered by insurance proceeds received by Landlord, such excluded items being the sole responsibility of Tenant to restore, (iii) the destruction will not terminate this Lease, and (iv) all obligations of Tenant under this Lease will remain in effect, except that the Basic Monthly Rent will be abated or reduced, between the date of the destruction and the date of completion of restoration, by the ratio of (a) the area of the Premises rendered unusable or inaccessible by the destruction to (b) the area of the Premises before the destruction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may terminate this Lease by so notifying Landlord in writing within 30 days after the destruction if (x) then-existing laws do not permit such restoration, (y) the destruction occurs during the last year of the Term, or (z) Tenant reasonably establishes that substantial completion of the restoration will not occur within 12 months after the date of the destruction. Conversely, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, Landlord may terminate this Lease by so notifying Tenant in writing on or before the later of 90 days after the destruction or 30 days after Landlord’s receipt of the proceeds from insurance maintained by Landlord, if (A) then-existing Applicable Regulations do not permit such restoration, (B) the destruction occurs during the last year of the Term, (C) the destruction exceeds 25 percent of the then-replacement value of the Building, or (D) Landlord reasonably determines that the cost of the restoration exceeds the amount of insurance proceeds relating to the destruction actually received by Landlord (excluding deductibles contemplated by the applicable insurance policy, if any). If Tenant or landlord terminates this Lease in accordance with this paragraph, then (1) Landlord has no obligation to restore the Premises, (2) Landlord retains all insurance proceeds relating to such destruction, and (3) this Lease terminates as of 30 days after the notice of termination from Tenant or Landlord. If Landlord restores the Premises as provided above, then Tenant waives the provisions of California Civil Code Sections 1932(2) and 1933(4) or any successor statute with respect to any destruction of the Premises.
