(b) Lessee shall, during the entire term of this Lease and any renewal hereof, keep in
full force and effect a policy of public liability insurance with minimum limits of
$100,000 per person/ $300,000 per occurrence on the leased premises, and the business

(c) Lessee, at its sole cost and expense, agrees to keep all of their personal property

10. Damage or Destruction to Premises
(a) If the leased premises, or any portion thereof, shall be damaged during the term
by fire or any casualty insurable under the standard fire and extended coverage
insurance policies, but are not wholly untenantable, the Lessor shall repair and/or
rebuild the same as promptly as possible, provided that the proceeds from Lessor's
insurance policies are available to Lessor. The Lessor shall not be required to repair or
rebuild any fixtures, installations, improvements, or leasehold improvements made to
the interior of the leased premises by Lessee, nor Lessee's exterior signs. Such repairs
and/or replacements are to be made by Lessee. In such event, the Lease shall not
terminate, but shall remain in full force and effect, and a proportionate reduction in the
fixed minimum monthly rental shall be made from the time of such fire or casualty
until said premises are repaired or restored, except (i) if the Lessee can use and occupy
the leased premises without substantial inconvenience; or (ii) if said repairs are delayed
at the request or by reason of any act on the part of the Lessee which prevents or delays
the repair of said premises by Lessor, there shall be no reduction in rental while said
premises are being repaired, nor for any period of delay caused by or requested by
Lessee. Lessor's obligation to repair shall be subject to any delays from labor troubles,
material shortages, insurance claim negotiations, or any other causes, whether similar
or dissimilar to the foregoing, beyond Lessor's control.
(b) If the leased premises are rendered wholly untenantable by fire or other cause,
or if the leased premises or the building in which they are located should be damaged or
destroyed by fire or other casualty, to the extent of fifty per cent (50%) or more of the
monetary value of either thereof, whether the leased premises themselves be damaged
or not, or so that fifty per cent (50%) or more of the floor space contained in either
thereof shall be rendered untenantable, then, and in that event, Lessor may, at its
option, terminate this Lease or elect to repair or rebuild the same. If, as a result of any
damage either to the leased premises or to the building of which they are a part, the
Lessor determines to demolish or rebuild the premises, or the building of which they
are a part, then, and in any such event, the Lessor may also terminate this Lease. In any
of the foregoing instances, the Lessor shall notify the Lessee as to its election within
sixty (60) days after the casualty in question. If the Lessor elects to terminate this Lease,
then the same shall terminate three (3) days after such notice is given, and the Lessee
shall immediately vacate the leased premises and surrender the same to the Lessor,
paying the rent to the time of such vacation and surrender, subject to an equitable
abatement from the time of said damage. If the Lessor does not elect to terminate this
Lease, the Lessor shall repair and/or rebuild the leased premises as promptly as
possible, subject to any delay from causes beyond its reasonable control, and the term
shall continue in full force and effect, subject to equitable abatement in the fixed
minimum monthly rental from the time of said damage or destruction until said
premises are repaired or restored.
11. Default.
(a) If the Lessee shall, at any time, be in default of the payment of either rent or any
payments required of Lessee hereunder or any part thereof, for more than ten (10) days
after the same shall be due hereunder, regardless of whether demand has been made
therefore, or if Lessee shall be in default of any of the other covenants and conditions of
this Lease to be kept, observed, and performed by Lessee for more than thirty (30) days
after the giving of written notice by the Lessor to the Lessee of such default, or if Lessee
shall vacate or abandon the premises, or fail to take possession of the premises and
actively operate its business therein, or if Lessee shall be adjudged a bankrupt, or if a
receiver or trustee shall be appointed and shall not be discharged within thirty (30)
days from the date of such appointment, then and in any such events the Lessor may
re-enter the leased premises by summary proceedings or otherwise, and thereupon may
expel all persons and remove all 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.
(b) Lessor shall not be in default unless it fails to perform the obligations required of
Lessor by this Lease Agreement within thirty (30) days after written notice by Lessee to
Lessor specifying which obligation(s) Lessor has failed to perform. Provided, however,
that 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
5
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, 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.
12. Subletting and Assigning. The Lessee shall not sublet any portion of the leased
premises 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 specifications shall first be submitted to Lessor in writing, and the Lessor shall
have the right to direct and determine the size, content, design, construction, and location
of such sign on the 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 part to be observed and performed, the Lessee shall and may peaceably and
quietly have, hold, and enjoy the premises hereby leased, for the term aforesaid; subject,
however, to the terms of this Lease, any mortgage, or other instruments now or hereafter
created by the Lessor.
15. Notices. All notices to be given under this Lease shall be in writing and shall either
be served personally or sent by certified mail, return receipt requested. All notices mailed
as herein
