objectionable to other tenants, LESSEE agrees, upon written notice from LESSOR,
to promptly modify the conduct of its operations to eliminate such objectionable
operations.

any adjustments are required to the monthly installments and provide LESSEE a
copy of the tax xxxx evidencing said adjustment.

shall be taken by any competent authority under the power of eminent domain or
be acquired for any public or quasi-public use or purpose, the term of this
lease shall cease and terminate upon the date when the possession of said
premises of the part thereof so taken shall be required for such use of purpose
and without apportionment of the award, and LESSEE shall have no claim against
LESSOR for the value of any unexpired term of this lease. If any condemnation
proceeding shall be instituted in which it is sought to take or damage any part
of LESSOR'S building or the land under it or if the grade of any street or alley
adjacent to the building is changed by any competent authority and such change
of grade makes it necessary or desirable to remodel the building to conform to
the changed grade, LESSOR shall have the right to cancel this lease after having
given written notice of cancellation to LESSEE not less than ninety (90) days
prior to the date of cancellation designated in the notice. In either of said
events rent at the then current rate shall be apportioned as of the date of the

following upon ten (10) days prior written notice, excepting the payment of rent
or additional rent for which no demand or notice shall be necessary, in addition
to and not in limitation of any other remedy permitted by law; to enter upon the
premises or any part thereof either with or without process of law, and to
expel, remove and put out LESSEE or any other persons who might be thereon,
together with all personal property found therein; and, LESSOR may terminate
this lease or it may from time to time, without terminating this lease, rent
said premises or any part thereof for such term or terms (which may be for a
term extending beyond the term of this lease) and at such rental or rentals and
upon such other terms and conditions as LESSOR in its sole discretion may deem
advisable, with the right to repair, renovate, remodel, redecorate, alter and
change said premises. At the option of LESSOR, rents received by LESSOR from
such reletting shall be applied first to the payment of any indebtedness from
LESSEE to LESSOR other than rent and additional rent due hereunder; second, to
payment of any costs and expenses of such reletting, including but not limited
to attorney's fees, advertising fees, and brokerage fees, alterations and
changes in the premises; third, to the payment of rent and additional rent due
and payable hereunder and interest thereon, and if after applying said rentals
there is any deficiency in the rent and additional rent and interest to be paid
by LESSEE under this lease, LESSEE shall pay any such deficiency to LESSOR and
such deficiency shall be calculated and collected by LESSOR monthly. No such

of LESSOR's part to terminate this lease unless a written notice of such
intention be given to LESSEE. Notwithstanding any such reletting without
termination, LESSOR may, at any time thereafter elect to terminate this lease
for such previous breach and default. Should LESSOR at any time terminate this
lease by reason of any default in addition to any other remedy it may have, it
may recover from LESSEE the worth at the time of such termination of the excess
of the amount of rent and additional rent reserved in this lease for the balance
of the term hereof over the then reasonable rental value of the premises for the
same period LESSOR shall have the right and remedy to seek redress in the courts
at any time to correct or remedy any default of LESSEE by
6
injunction or otherwise, without such resulting or being deemed a termination of
this lease, and LESSOR, whether this lease has been or is terminated or not,
shall have the absolute right by court action or otherwise to collect any and
all amounts of unpaid rent or unpaid additional rent reserved in this lease for
the balance or the term hereof over the then reasonable rental value of the

redress in the courts at any time to correct or remedy any default of LESSEE by
injunction or otherwise, without such resulting or being deemed a termination or
not, shall have the absolute right by court action or otherwise to collect any
and all amounts or unpaid rent or unpaid additional rent or any other sums due
from LESSEE to LESSOR under this lease which were or are unpaid at the date of
termination. In case it should be necessary for LESSOR to bring any action under
this lease, to consult or place said lease or any amount payable by LESSEE
hereunder with an attorney concerning or for the enforcement of any LESSOR'S
rights hereunder, the LESSEE agrees in each and any such case to pay to LESSOR,
LESSOR'S reasonable attorney's fees,
21. WAIVER: The rights and remedies of the LESSOR under this lease, as
well as those provided or accorded by law, shall be cumulative, and none shall
be exclusive of any other rights or remedies hereunder allowed by law. A waiver
by LESSOR of any breach or breaches, default or defaults of LESSEE hereunder
shall not be deemed or construed to be a continuing waiver of such breach or
default nor as a waiver of or permission, expressed or implied, for any
subsequent breach or default, and it is agreed that the acceptance by LESSOR of
any installment of rent subsequently to the date the same should have been paid
hereunder, shall in no manner alter or affect the covenant and obligation of
LESSEE to pay subsequent installments of rent promptly upon the due date
thereof. No receipt of money by LESSOR after the termination in any way of this
lease shall reinstate, continue or extend the term above demised.
22. NOTICES: Any notice hereunder shall be sufficient if sent by
