AA penalty clause
BA continuous operations clause (or co-tenancy clause in malls)✓ Correct
CA force majeure provision
DA zoning compliance clause

Continuous operations clauses in Missouri commercial leases (particularly retail) require tenants to remain open and operating during specified hours. They protect landlords and co-tenants from key tenants closing while continuing to pay below-market rent.
