property and said lien is not removed within thirty (30)
days of recordation thereof; or
c. Tenant shall default in the observance or performance of any
of the covenants and agreements required to be performed and
observed by Tenant hereunder for a period of thirty (30)

applicable federal, state or other statute or law, whereby

such election), to exercise concurrently or successively,
any one or more of the following rights:
i. Terminate this Lease by giving Tenant notice of
termination, in which event this Lease shall expire
and terminate on the date specified in such notice

terminate, and Tenant shall remain liable for all
obligations under this Lease arising up to the date

reason of Tenant's default; or
iii. Without terminating this Lease, declare immediately
due and payable all rents and amounts due and
coming due under this Lease for the entire
remaining term hereof, together with all other
amounts previously due, at once; provided, however,
that such payment shall not be deemed a penalty or
liquidated damages but shall merely constitute
payment in advance of rent for the remainder of
said term; or
iv. Allow the Premises to remain unoccupied and collect
rent from Tenant as if comes due; or
v. Pursue such other remedies as are available at law
or equity.
6

combination, or (2) serve as the basis for any claim of
constructive eviction, or allow Tenant to withhold any
payments under this Lease.

reimburse Landlord therefor and save Landlord harmless therefrom. Provided,
however, that Landlord may cure any such default as aforesaid prior to the
expiration of said waiting period, without notice to Tenant if any emergency
situation exists, or after notice to Tenant, if the curing of such default
prior to the expiration of said waiting period is reasonably necessary to
protect the Leased Premises or Landlord's interest therein, or to prevent
injury or damage to persons or property. If Tenant shall fail to reimburse

rent due and shall for all purposes be deemed and treated as rent hereunder.

omission on the part of the other party, no matter how long the same may
continue, shall not be deemed to be a waiver by said party of any of its rights
hereunder. No waiver by any other party at any time, express or implied, of any

of the other party, the other party's consent to or approval of such action on

charges required hereunder, by reason of strikes, lockouts, unavailability of
materials, failure of power, restrictive governmental laws or regulations,
riots, insurrections, the act, failure to act, or default of the other party,
war or other reason beyond its control, then performance of such act shall be
excused for the period of the delay and the period for the performance of such
