the giving of such notice (or if such other default is of such nature that it
cannot be completely cured within such period, if Lessee does not commence such
curing within such 10 days and thereafter proceed with reasonable
diligence and in good faith to cure such default), then Lessor may
terminate this lease on not less than 30 days’ notice to Lessee. On the
date specified in such notice the term of this lease shall terminate, and
Lessee shall then quit and surrender the premises to Lessor, but Lessee shall
remain liable as hereinafter provided. If this lease shall have been so
terminated by Lessor, Lessor may at any time thereafter resume possession of

including without limitation, the surrender of possession of the premises to

any default of Lessee, Lessee shall no demand deposit with Lessor the amount so
applied so that Lessor shall have the full deposit on hand at all times during
the term of this lease.
