property therefrom, without becoming liable to prosecution therefore, and may, among other
remedies, elect:
(i) To relet said premises as the agent of the Lessee, and reserve the rent therefrom,
applying the same first to the payment of the reasonable expense of such re-entry, and
then to the payment of the rent accruing hereunder; but whether or not the leased
premises are relet, the Lessee shall remain liable for the equivalent of all rent and other
charges provided for under this Lease, plus the cost of reletting, if any, which said
amount shall be due and payable to the Lessor as damages, or rent, as the case may be, on
the successive monthly rent days herein above provided; or
(ii) To terminate this Lease and immediately resume possession of the leased
premises, wholly discharged from any obligations under the term of this lease, and may
re-enter and repossess said premises, free from any and all claims on the part of the
Lessee. Termination of the Lease does not discharge or in any way affect Lessee's
obligation to pay Lessor all the rents or other charges or payments accruing under the
Lease up to the date of termination except pursuant to section 27 of this lease.
(b) Lessor shall not be in default unless it fails to perform the obligations required of

if the nature of the specified obligation(s) is such that more than thirty (30) days are required
for performance, then Lessor shall not be in default if it commences performance within such
30-day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes the same to completion. If Lessor has not
cured or commenced to cure the default set forth in said notice within said 30-day period,
Lessee may at his option either (i) cure such default and deduct the reasonable costs and
expenses incurred from the next and succeeding rent payment(s) or (ii) cancel this Lease and,
5
in such event, this Lease shall thereupon cease, terminate, and come to an end with the same
force and effect as though the original demised term had expired at that time.

nor assign this Lease in whole or in part without the written consent of the Lessor as to both the
terms of such assignment or sublease and the identity of such assignee or sublessee, and in the
event of a subletting so approved by Lessor, Lessee shall nevertheless remain obligated to Lessor
under the terms of this Lease Agreement.
13. Signs. The Lessee shall not install nor maintain any sign anywhere on the property
constituting the leased premises whether neon, translucent, plastic, or otherwise, unless plans and

premises.
14, Quiet Enjoyment. The Lessor covenants and agrees with the Lessee that upon the Lessee
paying the said rent and performing all the covenants and conditions aforesaid on the Lessee's
patt to be observed and performed, the Lessee shall and may peaceably and quietly have, hold,
