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 Leased. 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 the Leased 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 (0) 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 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 6 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.

Notices to Lessee shall be sent to: Joeseph E. McKenzie, at the mailing address of the Leased Premises, or such other addresses as the Lessee may specify in written notice to Lessor. 16. Interest. Any amount due from Lessee to Lessor under this Lease which is not paid when due shall bear interest at the lesser of the highest legal rate allowed in the State of Florida from the date due until paid; provided, however, the payment of such interest shall not excuse or cure the default upon which such interest is accrued. 17, Expense of Enforcement. If either Lessor or Lessee should prevail in any litigation by or against the other party related to this Lease, or if either party should become a party to any litigation instituted by or against the other with respect to any third party, then as between Lessor and Lessee, the losing party shall indemnify and hold the prevailing party harmless from all costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by the prevailing party in connection with such litigation. 18. Inspection. Lessee will permit Lessor, its agents, employees, and contractors to enter all parts of the Leased Premises to inspect the same and to enforce or carry out any provisions of this Lease. 19, Non-Waiver, Lessor's or Lessee's failure to insist upon strict performance of any covenant of this Lease or to exercise any option or right herein contained shall not be a waiver or relinquishment for the future of such covenant, right, or option, but the same shall remain in full force and effect. 7 20.
