made by Lessors in paragraph 4 above.

condition known by Lessee which Lessors may be required to repair, and failure
to so report shall make Lessee responsible for damages resulting from such
defective conditions.

electricity furnished to the premises. Lessee shall be responsible for garbage
and other services provided to the premises.
9. Lessee covenants that it will not allow premises to be used for any

without prior written consent of Lessors.
13. If the premises is partially destroyed or damaged as a result of
fire or other casualty, the Lessors shall immediately repair same, subject to
the express provisions that if said damages are so extensive that Lessors shall
in its sole discretion determine that it is not in its best interest to repair
same, then it shall have the option to notify Lessee within fifteen (15) days of
such damage that it does not elect to repair said building and this lease shall
terminate. In the event of any such termination, the lease rentals provided for

the premises are totally destroyed, or so substantially damaged as to be
untenantable, by storm, fire or other casualty, the lease shall terminate as of
the date of such destruction or damage and rental shall be accounted for as

14. Lessee agrees that all buildings, additions or other improvements
of a permanent nature installed on the demised premises by Lessee, including all
electrical wiring, electrical fixtures, and floor coverings shall immediately
become the property of the Lessors and shall not be removed by Lessee at the
termination of this lease or any renewal thereof unless prior to the
installation thereof, the parties enter a written agreement providing for the
removal of same by Lessee. Lessee will not make such installations without
prior consent of Lessors.
15. Upon the Lessee breaching this contract, the Lessors as Lessee's
agent, without terminating this contract, may at Lessors' option enter upon and
rent premises at the best price obtainable by reasonable effort with or without
advertisement and/or by private negotiation for any term or terms Lessors may
deem proper. Lessee will be responsible, regardless of re-rental, for all
payments required under this lease, for its full term, as liquidated damages for
such
3
breach. It is specifically agreed that breach by Lessee will cause substantial
losses to Lessors which would be difficult to determine and that the liquidated
amount is fair and reasonable.
16. Lessee may terminate this lease without cause with 30 days' advance
notice to Lessors. In the event Lessee so terminates lease she shall pay
Lessors the equivalent of three months' payment under this lease as penalty for
early termination in addition to any other payments otherwise due.
17. Lessee further agrees to indemnify and save harmless Lessors from
any liability for injuries and damages to all property and persons whomsoever
occurring in connection with the use and occupancy of the leased premises.
Lessee shall keep and maintain liability insurance sufficient to protect Lessors
from such claims and name Lessors as co-insured.
18. Lessee's failure to pay the rental hereunder when due or the breach
of any of the other terms and conditions of this agreement shall constitute a
default hereunder and Lessee's failure to cure or correct such default within 15
days of written notice thereof shall give Lessors the right to terminate this
agreement and all of Lessee's rights hereunder. Said right to terminate shall
be exercised by written notice to Lessee within 15 days from date default
occurs.
19. Lessors' acceptance of late payment of rent or any other indulgence
on the part of Lessors hereunder shall not constitute a waiver of Lessors' right
to insist upon strict compliance with the terms and conditions of this agreement
on any subsequent occasion.
20. If Lessee defaults for fifteen (15) days in paying amounts due
hereunder, or if Lessee defaults for thirty (30) days after written notice
thereof in performing any other of the obligations hereunder, or if Lessee is
adjudicated to be bankrupt, or if a permanent receiver is appointed for the
property of Lessee including his interest in the premises, and such receiver is
not removed in thirty (30) days after written notice from Lessors to Lessee to
obtain such
4
removal or, if, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, Lessee takes advantage of
any debtor relief proceeding under any present or future law whereby the rent of
any part thereof is reduced or payment thereof deferred, or if Lessee makes an
assignment for the benefit of creditors, or if the premises of the interest of
Lessee therein shall be levied upon or attached under process against Lessors
and not satisfied or dissolved within thirty (30) days after written notice from
Lessors to Lessee to obtain satisfaction thereof, then and in any of said
events, Lessors may at their option, at any time thereafter (but only during the
continuance of such default or conditions) terminate this lease by written
notice to Lessee whereupon this lease shall end. Upon such termination by
Lessors, Lessee shall at once surrender possession of the premises to Lessors
and remove all of Lessee's effects therefrom and Lessors may forthwith re-enter
the premises and repossess himself thereof and remove all persons and effects
therefrom using such force as may be necessary without being guilty of trespass,
forcible entry, detainer, or other tort.
21. If any rent or additional amount for Lessors' renovations owing
under this lease is paid after the 5th day of the month in which such payment
becomes due a late penalty in the amount of 10% of the amount due shall be added
and due.
22. No termination of this lease prior to the normal ending thereof by
lapse of time or otherwise shall affect Lessors' right to collect rent due
hereunder. If any amounts past due hereunder are collected by or through an
attorney at law the 15% of said amount shall be added as cost of collection
after giving Lessee notice and allowing ten (10) days to cure default of such
payment.
23. It is agreed that Lessors shall not be liable or responsible in any
way for any damage to any person or property sustained in or about the demised
premises during the term of this lease or any renewal thereof unless such damage
was occasioned by the negligence of
5
Lessors. Lessee specifically agrees to hold Lessors harmless from any damage
occasioned by a structural default or failure in the premises of which Lessee
has not given Lessors notice as provided herein.
24. For all purposes of notice required under this lease, the
address of Lessors is:
Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxxx, J.V.
X.X. Xxx 000
Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx 3 1730
The address of Lessee is:

00 X. Xxxxxxx Xxx.

25. This lease contains the entire agreement of the parties and no
representations, inducements, promises, agreements or otherwise between the
parties not embodied herein shall be of any force or effect. No failure of
Lessors to exercise any power given Lessors hereunder or to insist upon strict
compliance by Lessee of any obligation hereunder and no custom or practice of
the parties at variance with the terms hereof shall constitute a waiver of the
rights of the Lessors to demand exact compliance with the terms hereof.
26. Time is of the essence in all terms of this lease.
