If LESSOR desires to treat the sale of the property to LESSEE as a

and on the terms of the offer so made. This right shall be extended by ESSOR
giving written notice of the offer by registered mail to LESSEE at the demised
premises, requiring LESSEE to accept the offer in writing and to sign a purchase
agreement within forty-five (45) days after the mailing of the notice.

purchase under the terms specified above, and a sale of the demised premises is

as defined in section 16 herein, within any twelve (12) month period, or a total
of six defaults during the elapsed term of the lease.
14. CONDEMNATION LOSS.
Should all the leased premises be taken in condemnation proceedings or
by exercise of any right of eminent domain, then this Lease shall automatically
terminate as of the date the condemning authority or the authority exercising
its right of eminent domain takes possession of the leased premises. If there is
a partial taking but LESSEE continues to occupy the premises in part, the rent
shall be reduced in the proportion that the unoccupied part of the premises
bears to the entire premises. If, as a result of partial taking, the leased
premises are not longer usable for the purpose specified in Paragraph 3 of this
Lease, then in any such case, the LESSEE may terminate this Lease as of the date

subletting will not release the LESSEE from its responsibilities under this
Lease, unless expressly agreed to in writing by the LESSOR. The LESSOR shall
have the right to any profit made in such assignment or subletting, but only in

assignment of this Lease within the meaning hereof, and the LESSOR shall have
the right to terminate this Lease.

required to be furnished to LESSOR pursuant to the
terms of this Lease, or if LESSEE or any guarantor of

or have against LESSEE or any guarantor of this Lease
in any court pursuant to any statute either of United
States or of any state a petition in bankruptcy or
insolvency or for reorganization or for the
appointment of a receiver or trustee of all or
portion of LESSEE'S or any such guarantor's property,
or if LESSEE or any such guarantor makes an
assignment for the benefit of creditors, or petitions

as herein provided, or should it take possession of
the Demised Premises pursuant to legal proceedings or

rent due and unpaid hereunder, and the residue, if

hereunder. If such rentals received from such
reletting during any month be less than that to be
paid during that month by LESSEE hereunder, LESSEE,
upon demand, shall pay any such deficiency to LESSOR.
No such re-entry or taking possession of the Demised
Premises by LESSOR shall be construed as an election
on its part to terminate this Lease unless a written
notice of such intention be given to LESSEE or unless
the termination thereof be decreed by a court or
competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding any such
reletting without termination, LESSOR may at any time
after such re-entry and reletting elect to terminate
this Lease for any such breach, in addition to any
other remedies it may have, it may
