terminate this Lease, and pursue any other remedies at law or in equity.  Upon
the termination of this Lease, it shall be lawful for Lessor to re-enter the
Space by summary dispossession proceedings or any other action or proceeding
authorized by law and to remove Lessee and all persons and property therefrom.

negligently or intentionally, the business of Lessee and its peaceable and
quiet enjoyment of the Space, Lessee shall notify Lessor in writing of said
default and Lessor shall have thirty (30) days to cure or commence to cure
said default; provided that if the nature of the default is such that it
cannot be reasonably cured within said thirty (30) days, Lessor shall not be
deemed to be in default if it shall commence performance within said thirty
(30) day period and diligently proceeds to so cure the default thereafter.  If
Lessor shall not cure or commence to cure the said default within the thirty
(30) day period, Lessee has the option to either terminate this Lease and

take whatever other lawful remedies that may be available to it upon such
default, or cure the default and at Lessee's option deduct reasonable costs
and expenses for such cure from Rent or any other amounts accrued hereunder
due, or otherwise be immediately reimbursed by Lessor.

     Should there be a need to make any emergency repairs which were otherwise
the responsibility of the Lessor as provided in this Lease, but due to the
emergent circumstances and after attempting to immediately contact the Lessor,
Lessee makes such repairs, the cost thereof shall be a deduction from the Rent
accruing for the month following the date of such repair.
