DEFAULT:

In the event of the default of the Buyer to make any of the payments of interest or principal or any part thereof or taxes herein provided to be paid by Buyer, or any part thereof or to perform any of the covenants on Buyer’s part herein provided to be performed by Buyer, then Seller may, at Seller’s option, give notice of intention to declare the whole of the obligation remaining unpaid, due and payable and if any of said delinquent payments or other defaults are not made or cured and completed or full compliance with this Contract be not made by Buyer within thirty (30) days of written notice of the aforesaid declaration to Buyer by Seller, mailed to Buyer at Buyer’s last known address by certified mail, return receipt requested, the whole of the obligation remaining unpaid together with interest reserved for the balance of the Contract shall be forthwith due and payable and this Contract shall be terminated as and for default and Seller may retain all payments and improvements made by Buyer as and for reasonable rental of the premises, actual damages being incapable of ascertainment. It is specifically understood and agreed by and between the parties hereto that all payments and improvements made by the Buyer to Seller up to the time of any default shall be deemed as reasonable rental for delivery and possession and for use and occupancy of the premises to the time of such default.

Upon any default upon the part of the Buyer and after giving the aforementioned thirty (30) day notice, Seller may alternatively, at Seller’s sole discretion, declare the entire balance due and payable and proceed to collect the unpaid balance due under the Contract for Deed from the Buyer in specific performance or pursue such other remedies as Seller may have under the laws of the State of South Dakota including strict foreclosure. It is not the purpose of these provisions to exclude any remedy which may be available. Waiver by Seller at any time of any default hereunder on the part of Buyer shall not constitute a waiver by Seller of any other or subsequent default by Buyer.

In the event of a default on the part of the Buyer, Buyer will, upon failure to cure such default then upon demand, quietly and peaceably surrender the premises and possession thereof to Seller or Seller’s agent.

It is further stipulated and agreed that in the event of Buyer’s default hereunder and if Buyer shall desire to redeem said property from foreclosure, that Buyer shall, as a condition of said redemption, pay all reasonable and necessary attorney’s fees incurred by the Seller to the time of said redemption within the limitations of the applicable laws of the State of South Dakota.

It is further agreed that in the event that Seller shall accept late payment or performance of any of the terms of this Contract to be performed by Buyer, that such acceptance by Seller shall not constitute a waiver of the time of performance under this Contract and Buyer hereby waives the necessity of any demand, objection or notice of default prior to acceptance by Seller of any late payment or performance and does hereby stipulate that time is of the essence of this agreement regardless of the acceptance by Seller of any late payment or payments or performance without objection.

It is further agreed that in the event that Buyer fails to make a payment as required herein within fifteen (15) days of the due date, then Buyer agrees to pay Seller a late charge of five percent (5%) of the payment due. This late charge shall not be construed to waive Buyer’s obligation to pay on time and if Buyer is in default for a period of thirty (30) days following notice of default as provided above, Seller may take such actions as Seller deems advisable.

The Buyer shall be required to reimburse the Seller for any attorney’s fees and costs incurred in giving any notice of default or in any default proceedings as a condition required to cure any such default and failure to do so shall be deemed a failure to cure any default.

18.1 Said mutual waivers shall be in addition to, and not in limitation or derogation of, any other waiver or release contained in this lease with respect to any loss or damage to property of the parties hereto. Inasmuch as the said waivers will preclude the assignment of any aforesaid claim by way of subrogation (or otherwise) to an insurance company (or any other person), each party hereto agrees immediately to give to each insurance company which has issued to it policies of casualty and liability insurance written notice of the terms of said mutual waivers, and to have such insurance policies properly endorsed, if necessary, to prevent the invalidation of said insurance coverage by reason of said waivers.

Prior to the date Tenant is to actually surrender the Premises to Landlord, Tenant agrees to give Landlord reasonable prior notice of not less than twenty (20) days of the exact date Tenant will surrender the Leased Premises so that Landlord and Tenant can schedule a walk through of the Leased Premises to review the condition of the Leased Premises and identify the Trade Fixtures, and any unapproved Leasehold Improvements, Alterations, additions or changes which Tenant plans to remove and any repairs Tenant is to make upon surrender of the Leased Premises.

21. Quiet Enjoyment. Landlord shall ensure and protect Tenant’s quiet enjoyment of the Leased Premises during the term of this Lease.

22. Non-disturbance. Landlord shall promptly obtain and deliver to Tenant a non-disturbance agreement from each mortgagee and other lien holder providing that this Lease shall survive all actions taken to enforce the mortgage or lien and that mortgagee or lien holder shall not disturb Tenant’s possession of the Premises, so long as Tenant is in full compliance with all of the covenants, terms and conditions of the Lease. Tenant agrees that in the event that any proceedings are brought for the foreclosure of any mortgage or lien, Tenant shall attorn to the purchaser, at such foreclosure sale, if requested to do so by such purchaser.

Both parties’ obligations to perform all covenants and agreements under this Lease shall immediately resume upon termination of such condition and the Lease shall be extended for a period equivalent to the length of such delay.

24. Eminent Domain. If any part of the Leased Premises is taken by public authority under the power of eminent domain, then this Lease shall terminate as to that portion of the premises, with rent adjusted accordingly. If such taking prevents the practical use of the premises for Tenant’s purposes, Tenant may terminate this Lease by giving written notice of such termination to Landlord not later than thirty (30) days after the taking. Any award of damages for such taking shall be the exclusive property of Landlord, including all damages awarded as compensation for diminution in value to the leasehold, without any deduction for the value of any unexpired term of this Lease.

25. Notice. Any notice that one party is required by this Lease Agreement to give to the other party shall be given by first class mail, or by actually delivering the same to the party’s address(es) indicated below, or such subsequent address(es) as one party may furnish in writing to the other party.
