the due date, or Tenant fails to comply with any other term of this Lease within 30 days after written notice to so comply has been mailed

breach. Further, notwithstanding that Landlord may elect to terminate this Lease, and during the full period that would otherwise have
constituted the balance of any Term of this Lease, Tenant shall continue to be liable for the performance of all the covenants of Tenant

option, may rent the Leased Premises to a term(s) that may be shorter or longer than the balance of the Term hereof, in which case Landlord
shall apply any moneys collected first to the expense of resuming or obtaining possession of and reletting the Leased Premises, and second,
to the payment of the Rent and Additional Rent due and to become due to Landlord hereunder, with Tenant remaining liable for any deficiency.
The waiver by Landlord of any breach of any term of this Lease shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such term as to any subsequent breach
of the same or any other term of this Lease. The parties further understand and agree that if the same or a similar violation occurs
after the appropriate remedy period, the Landlord may give the Tenant a 30 notice of termination of this Lease without providing an opportunity

Tenant’s servants, employees, visitors, agents, or licensees, the damages shall be repaired by Landlord. The Base Rent, until
such repairs are completed, shall be apportioned and abated according to the portion of the Leased Premises that is usable by
Tenant. If such partial damage is due to the fault or neglect of Tenant, Tenant’s servants, employees, visitors, agents, or
licensees, the damages shall be repaired by Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, and there shall be no apportionment or abatement of
Base Rent.

 (b)
Substantial Destruction. If the Leased Premises are substantially damaged or rendered wholly untenantable by fire, wind, explosion,

event. If Tenant is not in default under this Lease, then, upon the termination of this Lease under the conditions provided in the sentence
immediately preceding, Tenant’s liability for Base Rent and Additional Rent shall cease as of the day following the casualty. All
casualty insurance proceeds and all proceedings and damages from any such taking of any part of the Leased Premises by eminent domain

leasehold interest herein is levied upon under execution, or taken through any writ of any Court of law, or if a trustee in Bankruptcy
or a receiver is appointed for Tenant’s property, then and upon the happening of any one of these events, Landlord may immediately,
with or without notice, terminate and cancel this Lease, and immediately retake possession of the Leased Premises without occasioning
any forfeiture of the obligations of Tenant previously accrued under this Lease.


 


Section
18 - Holding Over. If Tenant holds over in possession after the expiration of a Term of this Lease, or any extension or
renewal thereof without having renewed the same or without having entered into a new lease, such holding over shall not be deemed to
extend the Term or renew the Lease, but shall be a month-to-month tenancy created upon the same covenants and conditions as are herein
set forth, at the monthly rate of rental in effect during the last month of the previous Term, until terminated at the end of any rental
month by either party by serving upon the other not less than 30 days previous notice in writing of such termination.

lien. Tenant’s failure to timely deliver such agreement shall constitute a default under this Lease.
