In the event that Lessee shall give notice, as stipulated in this lease, of intention to vacate the Demised Premises at the end of the present term, or any renewal or extension thereof, and shall fail or refuse so to vacate the same on the date designated by such notice, then it is expressly agreed that Lessor shall have the option either (a) to disregard the notice so given as having no effect, in which case all the terms and conditions of this lease shall continue thereafter with full force precisely as if such notice had not been

(b)                                  Waiver of Custom.    It is hereby covenanted and agreed, any law, usage or custom to the contrary notwithstanding, that Lessor shall have the right at all times to enforce the covenants and provisions of this lease in strict accordance with the terms hereof, notwithstanding any conduct or custom on the part of the Lessor in refraining from so doing at any time or times; and, further, that the failure of Lessor at any time or times to enforce his rights under said covenants and provisions strictly in accordance with the same shall not be construed as having created a custom in any way or manner contrary to the specific terms, provisions and covenants of this lease or as having in any way or manner modified the same.

(e)                                  Waiver of Subrogation.    Lessor and Lessee hereby agree that all insurance policies which each of them shall carry to insure the Demised Premises and the contents therein against casualty loss, and all liability policies which they shall carry pertaining to the use and occupancy of the Demised Premises shall contain waivers of the right of subrogation against Lessor and Lessee herein, their heirs, administrators, successors, and assigns.

 

16.                               Remedies of Lessor.

 

If the Lessee

 

(a)                                  Does not pay in full when due any and all installments of rent and/or any other charge or payment herein reserved, included, or agreed to be treated or collected as rent and/or any other charge, expense, or cost herein agreed to be paid by the Lessee, or

 

(b)                                 Violates or fails to perform or otherwise breaks any covenant or agreement herein contained or:

 

(c)                                  Vacates the Demised Premises or removes or attempts to remove or manifests an intention to remove any goods or property therefrom otherwise than in the ordinary and usual course of business without having first paid and satisfied the Lessor in full for all rent and other charges then due or that may thereafter become due until the expiration of the then current term, above mentioned; or

 

(d)                                 Becomes insolvent, or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or if a petition in bankruptcy is filed by or against Lessee or a complaint in equity or other proceedings for the appointment of a receiver for Lessee is filed, or if proceedings for reorganization or for composition with creditors under any State or Federal law be instituted by or against Lessee, or if the real or personal property of Lessee shall be levied upon or be sold, or if for any other reason Lessor shall, in good faith, believe that Lessee’s ability to comply with the covenants of this lease, including the prompt payment of rent hereunder, is or may become impaired,

 

Lessor agrees to provide Lessee with notice of such default, as described in (a) - (d) above, and provide Lessee with 14 days to cure such default. With respect to a non-monetary default, if Lessee, proceeding diligently and expeditiously, can not cure the default within such 14 day period, Lessee agrees to extend the cure period for so long as it shall require Lessee in the exercise of due diligence to cure such default, it being agreed that no such extension shall be for a period in excess of 60 days. Thereafter:

 

(1) The whole balance of rent and other charges, payments, costs, and expenses herein agreed to be paid by Lessee, or any part thereof, and also all costs and officer’s commissions including watchmen’s wages shall be taken to be due and payable and in arrears as if by the terms and provisions of this Lease said balance of rent and other charges, payment, taxes, costs and expenses were on that date, payable in advance.  Further, if this Lease or any part thereof is assigned, or if the Demised Premises, or any part thereof is sub-let,

 

8



 

Lessee hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Lessor as Lessee’s agent to collect the rents due from such assignee or sub-lessee and apply the same to the rent due hereunder without in any way affecting Lessee’s obligation to pay any unpaid balance of rent due hereunder; or

 

(2) At the option of Lessor, this Lease and the terms hereby created shall determine and become absolutely void without any right on the part of Lessee to reinstate this Lease by payment of any sum due or by other performance of any condition, term, or covenant broken; whereupon, Lessor shall be entitled to recover damages for such breach in an amount equal to the amount of rent reserved for the balance of the term of this lease, less the fair rental value of the said Demised Premises for the remainder of the lease term.

 

17.                               Further Remedies of Lessor.

 

In the event of any default as above set forth, and after the expiration of any applicable cure period, Lessor, or anyone acting on Lessor’s behalf, at Lessor’s option:

 

(a)                                  May let said Demised Premises or any part or parts thereof to such person or persons as may, in Lessor’s discretion be best; and Lessee shall be liable for any loss of rent for the balance of the then current term. Any such re-entry or re-letting by Lessor under the terms hereof shall be without prejudice to Lessor’s claim for actual damages, and shall under no circumstances, release Lessee from liability for such damages arising out of the breach of any of the covenants, terms, and conditions of this lease.
