taken or condemned by any competent authority for any public use or purpose then
the term hereby granted shall cease from the time when possession of the part so

devolve upon any other person or corporation, or if the Tenant shall default in
the performance of any agreement by the Tenant contained in any other lease to
the Tenant by the Landlord or by any corporation of which an officer of the
Landlord is a Director, this lease shall thereby, at the option of the Landlord,
be terminated and in that case, neither the Tenant nor anybody claiming under
the Tenant shall be entitled to go into possession of the demised premises. If
after the commencement of the term, any of the events mentioned above in this
subdivision shall occur, or if Tenant shall make default in fulfilling any of
the covenants of this lease, other than the covenants for the payment of rent or
"additional rent" or if the demised premises become vacant or deserted, the
Landlord may give to the Tenant ten days' notice of intention to end the term of
this lease, and thereupon at the expiration of said ten days' (if said condition
which was the basis of said notice shall continue to exist) the term under this
lease shall expire as fully and completely as if that day were the date herein
definitely fixed for the expiration of the term and the Tenant will then quit
and surrender the demised premises to the Landlord, but the Tenant shall remain
liable as hereinafter provided.
If the Tenant shall make default in the payment of the rent reserved
hereunder, or any item of "additional rent" herein mentioned, or any part of
either or in making any other payment herein provided for, or if the notice last
above provided for shall have been given and if the condition which was the
basis of said notice shall exist at the expiration of said ten days' period, the
Landlord may immediately, or at any time thereafter, re-enter the demised
premises and remove all persons and all or any property therefrom, either by
summary dispossess proceedings, or by any suitable action or proceeding at law,
or by force or otherwise, without being liable to indictment, prosecution or
damages thereafter, and re-possess and enjoy said premises together with all
additions, alterations and improvements. In any such case or in the event that
this lease be "terminated" before the commencement of the term, as above
provided, the Landlord may either re-let the demised premises or any part or
parts thereof for the Landlord's own account, or may, at the Landlord's option,
re-let the demised premises or any part or parts thereof as the agent of the
Tenant, and receive the rents therefor, applying the same first to the payment
of such expenses as the Landlord may have incurred, and then to the fulfillment
of the covenants of the Tenant herein, and the balance, if any, at the
expiration of the term first above provided for, shall be paid to the Tenant.
Landlord may rent the premises for a term extending beyond the term hereby
granted without releasing Tenant from any liability. In the event that the term
of this lease shall expire as above in this subdivision "Sixth" provided, or
terminate by summary proceedings or otherwise, and if the Landlord shall not
re-let the demised premises for the Landlord's own account, then, whether or not
the premises be re-let, the Tenant shall remain liable for, and the Tenant
hereby agrees to pay to the Landlord, until the time when this lease would have
expired but for such termination or expiration, the equivalent of the amount of
all of the rent and "additional rent' reserved herein, less the avails of
reletting, if any, and the same shall be due and payable by the Tenant to the
Landlord on the several rent days above specified, that is, upon each of such
rent days the Tenant shall pay to the Landlord the amount of deficiency then
existing. The Tenant hereby expressly waives any and all right of redemption in
case the Tenant shall be dispossessed by judgement of warrant of any court or
judge, and the Tenant waives and will waive all right to trial by jury in any
summary proceedings hereafter instituted by the Landlord against the tenant in
respect to the demised premises. The words "re-enter" and "re-entry" as used in
this lease are not restricted to their technical legal meaning.
In the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Tenant of any of the
covenants or provisions hereof, the Landlord shall have the right of injunction
and the right to invoke any remedy allowed at law or in equity, as if re-entry,
summary proceedings and other remedies were not herein provided for.
SEVENTH: If the Tenant shall make default in the performance of any
covenant herein contained, the Landlord may immediately, or at any time
thereafter, without notice, perform the same for the account of the Tenant. If a
notice of mechanic's lien be filed against the demised premises or against
premises of which the demised premises are part, for, or purporting to be for,
labor or material alleged to have been furnished, or to be furnished to or for
the Tenant at the demised premises, and if the Tenant shall fail to take such
action as shall cause such lien to be discharged within fifteen days after the
filing of such notice, the Landlord may pay the amount of such lien or discharge
the same by deposit or by bonding proceedings, and in the event of such deposit
or bonding proceedings, the Landlord may require the lienor to prosecute an
appropriate action to enforce the lienor's claim. In such case, the Landlord may
pay any judgment recovered on such claim. Any amount paid or expense incurred by
the Landlord as in this subdivision of this lease provided, and any amount as to
which the Tenant shall at any time be in default for or in respect to the use of
water, electric current or sprinkler supervisory service, and any expense
incurred or sum of money paid by the Landlord by reason of the failure of the
Tenant to comply with any provision hereof, or in defending any such action,
shall be deemed to be "additional rent" for the demised premises, and shall be
due and payable by the Tenant to the Landlord on the first day of the next
following month, or, at the option of the Landlord, on the first day of any
succeeding month. The receipt by the Landlord of any installment of the regular
stipulated rent hereunder or any of said "additional rent" shall not be a waiver
of any other "additional rent" than due.
EIGHTH: The failure of the Landlord to insist, in any one or more instances
upon a strict performance of any of the covenants of this lease, or to exercise
any option herein contained, shall not be construed as a waiver or a
relinquishment for the future of such covenant or option, but the same shall
continue and remain in full force and effect. The receipt by the Landlord of
rent, with knowledge of the breach of any covenant hereof, shall not be deemed a
waiver of such breach and no waiver by the Landlord of any provision hereof
shall be deemed to have been made unless expressed in writing and signed by the
Landlord. Even though the Landlord shall consent to an assignment hereof no
further assignment shall be made without express consent in writing by the
Landlord.

thereof be underlet or occupied by anybody other than the Tenant the Landlord
may collect rent from the assignee, under-tenant or occupant, and apply the net
amount collected to the rent herein reserved, and no such collection shall be
deemed a waiver of the covenant herein against assignment and under-letting, or
the acceptance of the assignee, under-tenant or occupant as tenant, or a release
of the Tenant from the further performance by the Tenant of the covenants herein
contained on the part of the Tenant.
TENTH: This lease shall be subject and subordinate at all times, to the
lien of the mortgages now on the demised premises, and to all advances made or
hereafter to be made upon the security thereof, and subject and subordinate to

the premises. The Tenant will execute and deliver such further instrument or
instruments subordinating this lease to the lien of any such mortgage or
mortgages as shall be desired by any mortgagee or proposed mortgagee. The Tenant

execute and deliver any such instrument or instruments for the Tenant.

respect to the various "services", if any, herein expressly or impliedly agreed
to be furnished by the Landlord to the Tenant, it is agreed that there shall be
no diminution or abatement of the rent, or any other compensation, for
interruption or curtailment of such "service" when such interruption or
curtailment shall be due to accident, alterations or repairs desirable or
necessary to be made or to inability or difficulty in securing supplies or labor
for the maintenance of such "service" or to some other cause, not gross
negligence on the part of the Landlord. No such interruption or curtailment of
any such "service" shall be deemed a constructive eviction. The Landlord shall
not be required to furnish, and the Tenant shall not be entitled to receive, any
of such "services" during any period wherein the Tenant shall be in default in
respect to the payment of rent. Neither shall there be any abatement or
diminution of rent because of making of repairs, improvements or decorations to

building are leased hereunder. Landlord makes no representation as to the

license and if such license be revoked by the Landlord as to the use of part or
all of the vaults or space Landlord shall not be subject o any liability; Tenant

deemed constructive or actual eviction. Any tax, fee or charge of municipal or
other authorities for such vaults or space shall be paid by the Tenant for the

hereby granted, applicants shall be admitted at all reasonable hours of the day

the Landlord shall institute an action or summary proceeding against the Tenant
based upon such default, then the Tenant will reimburse the Landlord for the
expense of attorneys' fees and disbursements thereby incurred by the Landlord,
so far as the same are reasonable in amount. Also so long as the Tenant shall be

prior to the expiration dates of the expiring policies theretofore furnished
pursuant to this paragraph, originals or certificates thereof of the policies
together with a copy of the paid receipt shall be delivered by the Tenant to the
Landlord.
Fortieth: In the event the Landlord commences a summary proceeding for
non-payment of rent, or other relief, Tenant agrees that it may interpose any
counterclaims, or cause any other action to be consolidated with such summary
proceeding. Such counterclaim will not stop Landlord from terminating the
tenancy and obtain possession of the premises as if the term of the Lease had
matured at expiration first agreed, it would only be for a money judgement.
Tenant further agrees that Landlord may obtain such relief in any summary
proceeding pending wherein Tenant has sought to interpose a counterclaim or
consolidate any other action with such proceeding. Tenant waives right to jury
trial.
Forty-First: In the event the Tenant shall fail to pay the rent, or additional
rent, when due, and such default shall continue for more than fifteen (15) days,

percent) of the rent and/or additional rent due for each month in which such
rent shall be default of payment, whether such default shall continue for a

overdue rents, charges and impositions.

proceeding.
Forty-Third: Upon termination of this Lease, whenever occurring or howsoever
caused, Tenant agrees to surrender immediate possession to the Landlord if the
Tenant fails to deliver possession as agreed, the Tenant shall be liable for use
and occupation of the premises (at the option of Landlord) at the agreed and
reasonable value of one and one-quarter (1 1/4) times the present rental per day
for each and every day which Tenant remains in possession, and fails to
surrender same. This base rental payment shall be the extent of the nonpayment
of the rent. But, this provision shall not be deemed a waiver of the Landlord's
right to possession, nor shall the acceptance of payment for such use and
occupation be deemed a waiver of the Landlord's right to possession.
Forty-Fourth: If any mechanic's lien or liens shall be filed against the
premises for work done or materials furnished to the Tenant, the Tenant shall
within thirty days thereafter, and at its own cost and expenses cause such lien
or liens to be discharged by filing the bond or bonds required for that purpose
by law. If the Tenant shall fail to cause such lien to be discharged or to
diligently commence a cure within such THIRTY (30) DAY PERIOD, then, in addition
to any other right or remedy of the Landlord, the Landlord may, but shall not be
obligated to, discharge such lien either by paying the amount claimed to be due
or by procuring the discharge of such lien by deposit or by bonding proceedings
and in any such event the Landlord shall be entitled, if the Landlord so elects
to compel the prosecution of an action for the foreclosure of such mechanic's
lien by the lienor and to pay the amount of the judgment for an in favor of the
lienor, with interest costs and all other allowances. Any amount paid by the
Landlord for any such purposes, with interest thereon at the rate of 10% per
annum from the date of payment, shall be repaid by the Tenant to Landlord within
ten (10) days of Landlord's demand therefore, and if unpaid may be treated as
additional rent as provided for elsewhere in this lease. Nothing in this lease
shall be construed in any way as constituting the consent or request of the
Landlord, express or implied, by inference or otherwise, to any contractor,
subcontractor, laborer, or otherwise, to any contractor, subcontractor, laborer,
or materialman for the performance of any labor or the furnishing of any
materials for any specific improvement, alteration or repair of or to the leased
property or as giving the Tenant the right, power or authority to contract for
or permit the rendering of any service or the furnishing of any material that
would give rise to the filing of any mechanic's lien against the fee of the
lease property.

other than those expressed in this agreement. No variation of this lease shall
be valid unless in writing and signed by the party to be charged. Any holding
over by the Tenant after the term of this lease shall in no manner constitute a
renewal or extension of this lease agreement.
