Alternatively, at the option of Landlord, Landlord shall be entitled to recover from Tenant, as damages and not as a penalty, an aggregate sum which represents the then excess, if any, of (i) the aggregate amount of the Rental due and reserved hereunder from the date of Tenant's default to the expiration date of the fully stated term hereof over (ii) the amount, if any, Tenant establishes Landlord can reasonably expect to recover by reletting the Premises for the remainder of the Term as reduced by the estimated cost of terminating this Lease and entering, securing and reletting the Premises, including reasonable attorneys' 

fees, commissions, alterations and repair costs, plus any other damages owed by Tenant to Landlord for events or actions occurring prior to the date of termination.

(c)

Repossession and Reletting. Upon a default by Tenant, Landlord may re-enter and take possession of the Premises or any part thereof, without demand or notice, and repossess the same and expel Tenant and any party claiming by, under, or through Tenant, and remove the effects of both using such force for such purposes as may be necessary, without being liable for prosecution on account thereof or being deemed guilty of trespass, and without prejudice to any remedies for arrears in rent or breach of any of the covenants of this Lease. No such re-entry or taking of possession of the Premises by Landlord shall be construed as an election by Landlord to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such intention is given to Tenant. No notice from Landlord hereunder or under a forcible entry and detainer statute or similar law shall constitute an election by Landlord to terminate this Lease unless such notice specifically so states. Landlord reserves the right, following any re-entry or reletting but not to include build out requested or required by a subsequent tenant, to exercise its right to terminate this Lease by giving Tenant written notice of termination, in which event the Lease will terminate on the date specified in the notice. After recovering possession of the Premises, Landlord may, from time to time, but shall not be obligated to, relet the Premises, or any part thereof, for the account of Tenant, for such term or terms and on such conditions as Landlord, in its discretion, may determine. Landlord may make such repairs, alterations or improvements as Landlord may consider appropriate to accomplish such reletting, but not to include build out requested or required by a subsequent tenant and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord upon demand for all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, that Landlord may incur in connection with such reletting. Landlord may collect and receive rents for such reletting but Landlord shall in no way be responsible or liable for any failure to relet the Premises, or any part thereof, or for any failure to collect any rent due upon such reletting. Notwithstanding Landlord's recovery of possession of the Premises, Tenant shall continue to pay Rent on the dates herein specified that would be payable hereunder if such repossession had not occurred, less a credit for the net amounts, if any, actually received by Landlord through any reletting of the Premises

(d)

If the Premises or any part thereof is relet by Landlord for the unexpired portion of the term of this Lease, or any part thereof, before presentation of proof of such damages to any court, commission or tribunal, the amount of rent reserved upon such reletting shall, prima facie, be the fair and reasonable rental value for the Premises, or part thereof, so relet during the term of the reletting.

(e)

Any damages or loss of rent sustained by Landlord may be recovered by Landlord at Landlord's option, at the time of reletting, or in separate actions from time to time, or, at Landlord's option, may be deferred until the expiration of the term, in which event Tenant hereby agrees that the cause of action shall not be deemed to have accrued until the date of expiration of the term.

(f)

Exercise of any of the remedies of Landlord under this Lease shall not prevent the concurrent or subsequent exercise of any other remedy provided for in this Lease or otherwise available to Landlord at law or in equity. The provisions contained in this 

paragraph shall be in addition to, and shall not prevent the enforcement of any claim Landlord may have against Tenant for anticipatory breach of this Lease.

14.

BANKRUPTCY: If the Landlord shalt not be permitted to terminate this Lease as hereinabove provided because of the provisions of Title 11 of the United States Code relating to Bankruptcy as amended ("Bankruptcy Code"), then Tenant or any trustee for Tenant agrees promptly, within no more than fifteen (15) days upon request by Landlord to the Bankruptcy Court, to assume or reject this Lease and Tenant agrees not to seek or request any extension or adjournment of any application to assume or reject this Lease by Landlord with such Court. In such event, Tenant or any trustee of Tenant may assume this Lease only if it (i) cures or provides adequate assurance that the Tenant or trustee of Tenant will promptly cure any default hereunder, and (ii) compensates or provides adequate assurance that the Tenant or trustee of Tenant will promptly compensate Landlord for any actual pecuniary loss to Landlord resulting from Tenant's default.

Tenant recognizes that mechanical failure, mechanical irregularity or failure to anticipate changes in temperature may cause occasional temporary failure to provide such electrical service, heating or air conditioning, which shall not be deemed a default by Landlord hereunder. Landlord reserves the right to prohibit the installation of additional lighting fixtures, heat generating equipment, etc. unless and until arrangements are made by Tenant, acceptable to Landlord, to install supplementary air conditioning equipment on the Premises at Tenant's cost and expense.

Landlord shall not be liable for any damages directly or indirectly resulting from the installation, use or interruption of use of services referred to in this paragraph, nor shall any such interruption of any of these services create any liability for Landlord, constitute an eviction, actual or constructive, of Tenant, or cause any abatement of Rental payable under this Lease or in any manner or for any purpose relieve Tenant from its obligations under this Lease provided Landlord shall use reasonable diligence in the restoration of such service. Landlord shall furnish electric light bulbs or fluorescent tubes and ballasts in the fixtures at the time of original letting of the Premises; Tenant shall furnish such tubes, bulbs, or ballasts thereafter.

21.

ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING:

21.1

Landlord’s Consent Required. Tenant shall not voluntarily or by operation of law assign, transfer, mortgage, sublet, or otherwise transfer or encumber all or any part of Tenant's interest in the Lease or in the Premises without Landlord’s prior written consent. Landlord shall respond to Tenant's request for consent hereunder in a timely manner and any attempted assignment, transfer, mortgage, encumbrance, or subletting without such consent shall be void and shall constitute a breach of this Lease without the need for notice to Tenant under paragraph 13.1.

21.2

Tenant Affiliate. Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph 21.1 hereof, Tenant may assign or sublet the Premises, or any portion thereof, without Landlord's consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld to any corporation which controls, is controlled by or is under common control with Tenant, or to any corporation resulting from the merger or consolidation with Tenant, or to any person or entity which acquires all the assets of Tenant as a going concern of the business that is being conducted on the Premises, all of which are referred to as "Tenant Affiliate," provided that before such assignment shall be effective said assignee shall assume, in full, the obligations of Tenant under this Lease. Any such assignment shall not, in any way, affect or limit the liability of Tenant under the terms of this Lease even if after such assignment or subletting the terms of this Lease are materially changed or altered without the consent of Tenant, the consent of whom shall not be necessary.

21.3

Terms and Conditions of Assignment. Regardless of Landlord's consent, no assignment shall release Tenant of Tenant’s obligations hereunder or after the primary liability of Tenant to pay the Base Rent and to perform all other obligations to be performed by Tenant hereunder. Landlord may accept rent from any person other then Tenant pending approval or disapproval of such assignment. Neither a delay In the approval or disapproval of such assignment nor the acceptance of rent shall constitute a waiver or Estoppel of Landlord's right to exercise its remedies for the breach of any of the terms or conditions of this paragraph 21 or this Lease. Consent to one assignment shall not be deemed consent to any subsequent assignment in the event of default by any assignee of Tenant or any successor of Tenant, in the performance of any of the terms hereof. Landlord may proceed directly against Tenant without the necessity of exhausting remedies against said assignee. Landlord may consent to subsequent assignments of this Lease or amendments or modifications to this Lease with assignees of Tenant without notifying Tenant, or any successor of Tenant, and without obtaining its or their consent thereto and such action shall not relieve Tenant of liability under this Lease.

21.4

Terms and Conditions Applicable to Subletting. Regardless of Landlord's consent the following terms and conditions shall apply to any subletting by Tenant of all or any part of the Premises and shall be included in sublease.

(a) 

Tenant hereby assigns and transfers to Landlord all of Tenant's interest in all rentals and income arising from any sublease heretofore or hereafter made by Tenant, and Landlord may collect such rent and income and apply same toward Tenants obligations under this Lease; provided, however, that until a default shall occur in the performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, Tenant may receive, collect and enjoy the rents accruing under such sublease. 

Landlord shall not, by reason of this or any other assignment of such sublease to Landlord nor by reason of the collection of the rents from a subtenant, be deemed liable to the subtenant for any failure of Tenant to perform and comply with any of Tenant's obligations to such subtenant under such sublease. Tenant hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs any such subtenant, upon receipt of a written notice from Landlord stating that a default exists in the performance of Tenant's obligations under this Lease, to pay to Landlord the rents due and to become due under the sublease. Tenant agrees that such subtenant shall have the right to rely upon any such statement and request from Landlord, and that such subtenant shall pay such rents to Landlord without any obligation or right to inquire as to whether such default exists and notwithstanding any notice from or claim from Tenant to the contrary. Tenant shall have no right or claim against such subtenant or Landlord for any such rents so paid by said subtenant to Landlord.

(b)

No sublease entered into by Tenant shall be effective unless and until it has been approved in writing by Landlord. In entering into any sublease, Tenant shall use only such form of sublease as is satisfactory to Landlord, and once approved by Landlord, such sublease shall not be changed or modified without Landlord's prior written consent. Any subtenant shall by reason of entering into a sublease under this Lease be deemed, for the benefit of Landlord, to have assumed and agreed to conform and comply with each and every obligation herein to be performed by Tenant other than such obligations as are contrary to or inconsistent with provisions contained In a sublease to which Landlord has expressly consented in writing.

(c) If Tenant's obligations under this Lease have been guaranteed by third parties, then a sublease and Landlord's consent thereto, shall not be effective unless said guarantors give their written consent to such sublease and the terms thereof.

(d) The consent by Landlord to any subletting shall not release Tenant from its obligations or alter the primary liability of Tenant to pay the rent and perform and comply with all of the obligations of Tenant to be performed under this Lease.

(e) The consent by Landlord to any subletting shall not constitute a consent to any subsequent subletting by Tenant or to any assignment or subletting by the subtenant. However, Landlord may consent to subsequent subletting and assignments of the sublease or any amendments or modifications thereto without notifying Tenant or anyone else liable on the Lease or sublease and without obtaining their consent and such action shall not relieve such persons from liability.

(f) In the event of any default under this Lease, Landlord may proceed directly against Tenant, any guarantors or any one else responsible for the performance of this Lease, including the subtenant, without first exhausting Landlord's remedies against any other person or entity responsible therefor to Landlord, or any security held by Landlord or Tenant.

(g) In the event Tenant shall default in the performance of its obligations under this Lease, Landlord, at its option and without any obligation to do so, may require any subtenant to attorn to Landlord, In which event Landlord shall undertake the obligations of Tenant under such sublease from the time of the exercise of said option to the termination of such sublease; 

provided however, Landlord shall not be liable for any prepaid rents or security deposit paid by such subtenant to Tenant or for any other prior defaults of Tenant under such sublease.

(h) Each and every consent required of Tenant under a sublease shall also require the consent of Landlord.

(i) No sublease shall further assign or sublet all or any part of the Premises without Landlord's prior written consent.

(j) Landlord's written consent to any subletting of the Premises by Tenant shall not constitute an acknowledgment that no default then exists under this Lease of the obligations to be performed by Tenant nor shall such consent be deemed a waiver of any then existing default, except as may be otherwise stated by Landlord at the time.

(k) With respect to any subletting to which Landlord has consented, Landlord agrees to deliver a copy of any notice of default by Tenant to the subtenant. Such subtenant shall have the right to cure a default of Tenant within ten (10) days after service of said notice of default upon such subtenant and the sublease shall have a right of reimbursement and offset from and against Tenant for any such defaults cured by the subtenant.

21.5

Attorneys Fees. In the event Tenant shall assign or sublet the Premises or request the consent of Landlord to any assignment or subletting or if Tenant shall request the consent of Landlord for any act Tenant proposes to do then Tenant shall pay Landlord’s reasonable attorneys fees incurred in connection therewith.

22.
