In the event of any such payment by Lessor, such payment shall constitute Additional Rent payable by Lessee under this Lease, due from Lessee to Lessor at the next rent day after any such payment.
Liens:
Lessee shall not do any act which shall in any way encumber the title of Lessor in and to the premises, nor shall Lessee create or permit to be created, and shall promptly discharge, any such lien (including, but not limited to, any mechanic's, contractor's, subcontractor's or material man's lien or any lien, encumbrance or charge arising out of any conditional sale, title retention agreement, chattel mortgage, security agreement, financing statement or otherwise) upon the premises or any part thereof or the income therefrom, and Lessee shall not suffer any other matter or thing whereby the estate, rights and interest of Lessor in the premises or any part thereof might be impaired.
IfLessee shall fail to cause any such lien to be discharged of record, then Lessor, after five (5) days notice of its intention to do so, shall have the right, but not the obligation, in addition to any other right or remedy, to discharge such lien either by paying the amount claimed to be due or by procuring the discharge of such lien by deposit or bonding proceedings, and in any such event Lessor shall be entitled if it so elects to compel the prosecution of an action for foreclosure of such lien by the lienor and to pay the amount of judgment in favor of the lien owner with interest, costs and allowances. Any amount so paid by Lessor and all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred by Lessor in connection therewith shall constitute Additional Rent payable by Lessee under this Lease, due from Lessee to Lessor at the next rent day after any such payment.
This Lease shall constitute notice that Lessor shall not be liable for any work performed or to be performed, or any materials furnished or to be furnished, at the premises for Lessee upon credit, and that no mechanic's or other lien for such work or materials shall attach to or affect the estate or interest of Lessor in and to the premises, unless specifically ordered by Lessor in writing.
Lessee shall have no power to do any act or make any contract that may create or be the foundation for any lien, mortgage or other encumbrance upon the estate of Lessor, or any other interest of Lessor in the premises, the Building or the other Improvements or any part thereof.
(c) Taking by any person of Lessee's interest in this Lease upon execution, attachment or other process of law or equity.
In the event of Default on the part of Lessee, Lessor, at its option, without further notice or demand to Lessee, may, in addition to all other rights and remedies provided in this Lease, at law or in equity: (a) terminate this Lease and Lessee's right of possession of the Premises, and recover all damages to which Lessor is entitled at law, specifically including, without limitation, the excess of the aggregate rent that would have accrued for the balance of the Term, together with all of Lessor's expenses of re-leasing (including repairs, alterations, improvements, additions, decorations, legal fees and brokerage commissions) or (b) terminate Lessee's right of possession of the Premises without terminating this Lease. In all events, Lessor may re-lease the premises, or any part thereof for the account of Lessee, for such rent and term and upon such terms and conditions as are acceptable to Lessor. If Lessor shall have elected to pursue its right to terminate Lessee's right of possession of the premises without terminating the Lease, then Lessor shall have the further right and remedy to subsequently rescind such election and terminate the Lease. For purposes of any such re-leasing, Lessor is authorized to decorate, repair, alter and improve the Premises to the extent deemed necessary by Lessor, in its reasonable discretion, all at Lessee's expense. If Lessor fails to re-lease the premises, or if the premises are re-leased and a sufficient sum is not realized therefrom after payment of all Lessor's expenses of re-leasing (including without limitation repairs, alterations, improvements, additions, decorations, legal fees and brokerage commissions) to satisfy the payment, when due, of rent reserved under this Lease for any monthly period, then Lessee shall pay Lessor a sum equal to the amount of rent due under this Lease for each such monthly period, or if the premises have been re leased, Lessee shall pay any such deficiency on the rent day applicable to such month. Nothing in the foregoing sentence, however, shall be deemed to mean that Lessor can only collect damages from Lessee hereunder in monthly installments, it being expressly acknowledged by Lessee that Lessor shall always have the right to collect, in a lump sum, from Lessee, damages equal to the excess of the rent that would have accrued for the balance of the Term. Lessee agrees that Lessor may file suit to recover any sums due to Lessor hereunder at any time or from time to time and that such suit or recovery of any amount due Lessor hereunder shall not be any defense to any subsequent action brought for any amount not theretofore reduced to judgment in favor of Lessor. In the event Lessor elects to terminate Lessee's right of possession only, without terminating this Lease, Lessor may, at Lessor's option, enter into the premises, remove Lessee's signs, Lessee's property, and other evidences of tenancy, and take and hold possession thereof; provided, however, that such entry and possession shall not terminate this Lease or release Lessee, in whole or in part, from Lessee's obligation to pay the rent reserved hereunder for the full Term or from any other obligation of Lessee under this Lease. Any and all property which may be removed from the premises by the Lessor pursuant to the authority of the Lease or of law, to which the Lessee is or may be entitled, may be handled, removed or stored by the Lessor at the risk, cost and expense of the Lessee, and the Lessor shall in no event be responsible for the value, preservation or safekeeping thereof. Lessee shall pay to the Lessor, upon demand, any and all reasonable expenses incurred in such removal and all storage charges against such property so long as the same shall be in the Lessor's possession or under the Lessor's control.
To the fullest extent allowed by applicable state law, in the event Lessor exercises any remedy provided under this Section, all deposits theretofore made by Lessee with utility companies or under this Lease, all unearned insurance premiums and all rights of Lessee under all insurance policies required under this Lease, any pending insurance claims or condemnation awards, and all fuel and supplies on the Premises shall be deemed to be and are hereby assigned to and transferred to Lessor, to be applied in payment of Lessee's liability under this Lease.
Upon occurrence of any Event of Default, and after proper notice of default has been given, Lessor may, at its option, in addition to any other remedy or right given hereunder or by law, give notice to Lessee that this lease shall terminate upon the date specified in the notice, which date shall not be earlier than three (3) days after mailing or delivery of such notice.
No waiver of any default of Lessee hereunder shall be implied from any omission to take any action on account of such default if such default persists or is repeated, and no express waiver shall affect any default other than the default specified in the express waiver and that only for the time and to the extent therein
stated. One or more waivers by Lessor or Lessee shall not be construed as a waiver of a subsequent breach of the same covenant, term or condition.
Any provisions for the termination of this lease shall not operate to exclude or suspend any other remedy of the Lessor for breach, or for the recovery of said rent for the full term.

Lessor's granting of any consent under this Lease, or Lessor's failure to object to any action taken by Lessee without Lessor's consent required under this Lease, shall not be deemed a waiver by Lessor of its rights to require such consent for any further similar act by Lessee. No waiver by Lessor of any other breach of the covenants of this Lease shall be construed, taken or held to be a waiver of any other breach or to be a waiver, acquiescence in or consent to any further or succeeding breach of the same covenant.

Remedies- Cumulative:
No remedy conferred upon or reserved to Lessor under this Lease or under law shall be considered exclusive of any other remedy, but such remedies shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, and every power and remedy given by this Lease to Lessor may be exercised from time to time and as often as occasion may arise or as may be deemed expedient, without precluding Lessor's simultaneous or later exercise of any or all other rights or remedies. No delay or omission of Lessor to exercise any right or power arising from any Default or Event of Default shall impair any such right to power or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such Default or Event of Default or acquiescence therein.
