A lease offered by a South Florida shopping centre developer contains the following “End of the World” clause:
“If the end of the world is imminent before all Tenant’s obligations are fully performed, then Landlord may elect to declare all rents to the end of the term to be immediately due and payable in full and may be enforced against Tenant by any available procedure. For remedial purposes, Landlord will be deemed aligned with the forces of light, and Tenant with forces of darkness, regardless of the parties’ actual ultimate destinations, unless and until Landlord elects otherwise in writing.”
