- Rent the Aquatic Facility from WLC on a month to month basis, it being agreed and understood that: A. Neither the City nor WLC will have the right to cancel the month to month lease until such time as a New Service Provider is operating the Aquatic Facility and Rent is being paid by the new provider to WLC under a lease on the same terms and conditions as the Lease (the "New Lease") and the parties (being the City, WLC and the New Service Provider) have entered a new tri-partite Agreement on the same terms as this Agreement (the "New Tripartite Agreement"); and B.
