DEFAULTS AND LANDLORD’S REMEDIES.

The following rights and remedies of the Landlord shall be cumulative, and none shall exclude any other right or remedy allowed by law:

(a) If any voluntary or involuntary petition under any section of any bankruptcy act shall be filed by or against Tenant, or any voluntary or involuntary proceeding in any court or tribunal shall be instituted to declare the Tenant insolvent or unable to pay Tenant’s debts, and in the case of an involuntary petition or proceeding, the petition or proceeding is not dismissed within thirty (30) days from the date it is filed, Landlord may elect, upon notice of such election, to terminate this Lease, unless Tenant continues to pay rent and adopts the Lease in such proceeding.

(b) If Tenant defaults in the payment of any installment of the rent and does not cure the default within five (5) days after notice, or if Tenant defaults in the prompt performance of any other provision of this Lease and does not cure such other default within ten (10) days, or forthwith if the default involves a hazardous condition, after written notice by Landlord, or if the leasehold interest of Tenant be levied upon under execution or be attached by process of law, or if Tenant makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or if a receiver be appointed for any property of Tenant, or if Tenant abandons or vacates the Leased Premises, Landlord may terminate this Lease and Tenant’s right to possession of the Leased Premises or, without terminating this Lease, forthwith terminate Tenant’s right to possession of the Leased Premises.

(c) Upon any termination of this Lease, or upon any termination of the Tenant’s right to possession without termination of the Lease, Tenant shall immediately vacate the Leased Premises and deliver possession to Landlord.

(d) If Landlord elects to terminate Tenant’s rights to possession only, without terminating this Lease, Landlord may, at Landlord’s option, enter into the Leased Premises, remove Tenant’s signs and other evidences of tenancy, and take and hold possession thereof

without such entry and possession terminating this Lease or releasing Tenant from the obligation to pay the rent hereunder for the full Term. Upon and after entry into possession without termination of this Lease, Landlord may relet the Leased Premises or any part thereof for the account of Tenant for such rent, for such time and upon such terms as Landlord in its sole discretion shall determine, and Landlord shall not be required to accept any tenant offered by Tenant or to observe any instructions given by Tenant about such reletting. A reletting for a term longer than the then remaining Lease Term shall not constitute an acceptance by Landlord of a surrender of this Lease or a waiver of any of Landlord’s rights hereunder. In any such case, Landlord may make repairs, alterations and additions in or to the Leased Premises, and redecorate the same to the extent reasonably deemed necessary or desirable by Landlord, and Tenant shall, upon demand, pay the cost thereof, together with Landlord’s expense of the reletting. If the consideration collected by Landlord upon any such reletting for Tenant’s account is not sufficient to pay monthly the full amount of the rent reserved in this Lease, together with the costs of repairs, alterations, additions, redecorating and Landlord’s expenses of reletting, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount of each monthly deficiency upon demand.

(e) Any property which may be removed from the Leased Premises by the Landlord pursuant to the authority of this Lease or of law, to which Tenant is or may be entitled, may be handled, removed or stored by Landlord at the risk, cost and expense of Tenant, and Landlord shall in no event be responsible for the value, preservation or safekeeping thereof. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, upon demand, any and all expenses incurred in such removal and all storage charges against such property so long as the same shall be in Landlord’s possession or under Landlord’s control. Any such property of Tenant not retaken from storage by Tenant within thirty (30) days after the end of the Lease Term, however terminated, shall be conclusively presumed to have been conveyed by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease as a ▇▇▇▇ of sale.

(f) In the event Tenant defaults in the performance of any of the terms, covenants, agreements or conditions contained in this Lease and Landlord places the enforcement of this Lease, or any part thereof, or the collection of any rent due, or to become due hereunder or recovery of the possession of the Leased Premises in the hands of an attorney, or files suit upon the same, Tenant agrees to pay Landlord reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses.

(g) Failure of Landlord to declare any default immediately upon occurrence thereof, or delay in taking any action in connection therewith, shall not waive such default, but Landlord shall have the right to declare any such default at any time and take such action as might be lawful or authorized hereunder, either at law or in equity.

(h) A default under the Branch Lease shall be a default under this Lease. In the event of a default under the Branch Lease, Landlord may exercise against Tenant or the Leased Premises all remedies provided for such a default under the Branch Lease.

28.

CONDEMNATION.

If the Leased Premises or Building shall be partially taken or condemned for any public purpose to such an extent as to render a portion of the Leased Premises untenantable, the rental provided for herein shall ▇▇▇▇▇ as to the portion rendered untenantable. In the event the whole of the Leased Premises shall be so taken or condemned, this Lease shall terminate as of the date of taking of possession.

If the Leased Premises, the Building, or the Common Area is damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty, cause or condition whatsoever through no fault or neglect of Tenant, its agents, employees, customers, invitees, visitors, or contractors so as to cause the Leased Premises to be untenantable or to make it impossible for Tenant to continue its normal business operations therein, a just proportion of the rent herein reserved shall ▇▇▇▇▇ according to the extent the full use and enjoyment of the Leased Premises are rendered impossible by reason of such damage until such time as Landlord makes such portion of the Leased Premises tenantable or usable for Tenant’s normal business operations, as the case may be. If Landlord determines that such damage or destruction cannot be repaired within one hundred and eighty (180) days so as to restore fully Tenant’s use and enjoyment of the Leased Premises, Landlord may, by written notice to the Tenant given within thirty (30) days after such damage, terminate this Lease as to all the Leased Premises as of the date of such destruction, and all rent owed up to the time of such destruction shall be paid by Tenant.
