prior written notice to Landlord (the “Second Notice”), may cure any default of Landlord and
receive reimbursement upon demand from Landlord for the cost of such cure.
(e)
Waiver: One party’s consent to any particular act shall not be deemed to waive the
party’s right to approve any subsequent or similar act. A party’s receipt of any payment with or
without knowledge of a breach of any provision hereof shall not be deemed a waiver of any breach
other than failure to make the payment so received, unless such waiver is in writing. No delay or
omission in the exercise of any right or remedy accruing to either party shall impair any right or
remedy hereunder or be construed as a waiver of any breach of this Lease. The waiver of a breach of
any provision of this Lease shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent breach of that
provision or any other breach of a provision of this Lease.
