______________________________________________________________________

person acting for the Subtenant to encumber the rents of the Premises or the interest of
the Subtenant in the Premises or any person under and through whom the Subtenant
has acquired its interest in the Premises with a mechanic’s lien or any other type of
encumbrance. Under no circumstance shall the Subtenant be construed to be the
agent, employee or representative of the Tenant. In the event a lien is placed against
the Premises, through actions of the Subtenant, Subtenant will promptly pay the same
or bond against the same and take steps immediately to have such lien removed. If the
Subtenant fails to have the Lien removed, the Tenant shall take steps to remove the lien
and the Subtenant shall pay Tenant for all expenses related to the Lien and removal
thereof and shall be in default of this Agreement.

acquired by the Subtenant which are required for the use of the Premises shall be kept

XIV. OBLIGATIONS OF SUBTENANT. The Subtenant shall be primarily responsible
whenever needed for the maintenance and general pickup of the entranceway leading
Page 6 of 10
into the Premises, so that this is kept in a neat, safe and presentable condition. The
Subtenant shall also be responsible for all minor repairs and maintenance of the
leasehold Premises, particularly those items which need immediate attention and which
the Subtenant, or their employees, can do and perform on their own, including but not
limited to the replacement of light bulbs, as well as the normal repair and cleaning of
windows, cleaning and clearing of toilets, etc., and the Subtenant shall properly
maintain the Premises in a good, safe, and clean condition. The Subtenant shall
properly and promptly remove all rubbish and hazardous wastes and see that the same
are properly disposed of according to all local, state or federal laws, rules, regulations or
ordinances.
In the event the structure of the Premises is damaged as a result of any neglect or
negligence of Subtenant, their employees, agents, business invitees, or any
independent contractors serving the Subtenant or in any way as a result of Subtenant’s
use and occupancy of the Premises, then the Subtenant shall be primarily responsible
for seeing that the proper claims are placed with the Subtenant’s insurance company, or
the damaging party's insurance company, and shall furthermore be responsible for
seeing that the building is safeguarded with respect to said damage and that all proper
notices with respect to said damage are made in a timely fashion, including notice to the
Tenant and the party or parties causing said damage. Any damage that is not covered
by an insurance company will be the liability of the Subtenant.
The Subtenant shall, during the term of this Agreement, and in the renewal thereof, at
its sole expense, keep the interior of the Premises in as good a condition and repair as
it is at the date of this Agreement, reasonable wear and use excepted. This obligation
would include the obligation to replace any plate glass damaged as a result of the
neglect or acts of Subtenant or her guests or invitees. Furthermore, the Subtenant shall
not knowingly commit nor permit to be committed any act or thing contrary to the rules
and regulations prescribed from time to time by any federal, state or local authorities
and shall expressly not be allowed to keep or maintain any hazardous waste materials
or contaminates on the Premises. Subtenant shall also be responsible for the cost, if
any, which would be incurred to bring her contemplated operation and business activity
into compliance with any law or regulation of a federal, state or local authority.
XV. INSURANCE. In the event the Subtenant fails to obtain insurance required
hereunder and fails to maintain the same in force continuously during the term, Tenant
may, but shall not be required to, obtain the same and charge the Subtenant for same
as additional rent. Furthermore, Subtenant agrees not to keep upon the Premises any
articles or goods which may be prohibited by the standard form of fire insurance policy,
and in the event the insurance rates applicable to fire and extended coverage covering
the Premises shall be increased by reason of any use of the Premises made by
Subtenant, then Subtenant shall pay to Tenant, upon demand, such increase in
insurance premium as shall be caused by said use or Subtenant’s proportionate share
of any such increase.
XVI. SUBLET/ASSIGNMENT. The Subtenant may not transfer or assign this
Agreement, or any right or interest hereunder or sublet said leased Premises or any part
thereof without first obtaining the prior written consent and approval of the Tenant.

XVII. DAMAGE TO LEASED PREMISES. In the event the building housing the
Premises shall be destroyed or damaged as a result of any fire or other casualty which
is not the result of the intentional acts or neglect of Subtenant and which precludes or
adversely affects the Subtenant’s occupancy of the Premises, then in every such cause,
the Rent herein set forth shall be abated or adjusted according to the extent to which
the leased Premises have been rendered unfit for use and occupation by the Subtenant
and until the demised Premises have been put in a condition at the expense of the
Tenant, at least to the extent of the value and as nearly as possible to the condition of
the Premises existing immediately prior to such damage. It is understood, however, in
the event of total or substantial destruction to the Premises that in no event shall the
Tenant’s obligation to restore, replace or rebuild exceed an amount equal to the sum of
the insurance proceeds available for reconstruction with respect to said damage.
XVIII. DEFAULT AND POSSESSION. In the event that the Subtenant shall fail to pay
said Rent and expenses as set forth herein, or any part thereof, when the same are due
and payable, or shall otherwise be in default of any other terms of said Agreement for a
period of more than 15 days, after receiving notice of said default, then the parties
hereto expressly agree and covenant that the Tenant may declare the Agreement
terminated and may immediately re-enter said Premises and take possession of the
same together with any of Subtenant’s personal property, equipment or fixtures left on
the Premises which items may be held by the Tenant as security for the Subtenant’s
eventual payment and/or satisfaction of rental defaults or other defaults of Subtenant
under the Agreement. It is further agreed that if the Subtenant is in default, the Tenant
shall be entitled to take any and all action to protect its interest in the personal property
and equipment, to prevent the unauthorized removal of said property or equipment
which threatened action would be deemed to constitute irreparable harm and injury to
the Tenant in violation of its security interest in said items of personal property.
Furthermore, in the event of default, the Tenant may expressly undertake all reasonable
preparations and efforts to release the Premises including, but not limited to, the
removal of all inventory, equipment or leasehold improvements of the Subtenant’s, at
the Subtenant’s expense, without the need to first procure an order of any court to do
so, although obligated in the interim to undertake reasonable steps and procedures to
safeguard the value of Subtenant’s property, including the storage of the same, under
reasonable terms and conditions at Subtenant’s expense, and, in addition, it is
understood that the Tenant may sue the Subtenant for any damages or past rents due
and owing and may undertake all and additional legal remedies then available.
In the event any legal action has to be instituted to enforce any terms or provisions
under this Agreement, then the prevailing party in said action shall be entitled to recover
a reasonable attorney's fee in addition to all costs of said action.

penalty of one of the following: (check one)

defend and hold the Tenant harmless from any and all claims or liabilities which may
arise from any cause whatsoever as a result of Subtenant’s use and occupancy of the
Premises, and further shall indemnify the Tenant for any losses which the Tenant may
suffer in connection with the Subtenant’s use and occupancy or care, custody and
control of the Premises. The Subtenant also hereby covenants and agrees to indemnify
and hold harmless the Tenant from any and all claims or liabilities which may arise from
any latent defects in the subject Premises that the Tenant is not aware of at the signing
of the lease or at any time during the Lease Term.
XX. BANKRUPTCY - INSOLVENCY. The Subtenant agrees that in the event all or a
substantial portion of the Subtenant’s assets are placed in the hands of a receiver or a
Trustee, and such status continues for a period of 30 days, or should the Subtenant
make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or be adjudicated bankrupt, or should
the Subtenant institute any proceedings under the bankruptcy act or any amendment
thereto, then such Agreement or interest in and to the leased Premises shall not
become an asset in any such proceedings and, in such event, and in addition to any
and all other remedies of the Tenant hereunder or by law provided, it shall be lawful for
the Tenant to declare the term hereof ended and to re-enter the leased land and take
possession thereof and all improvements thereon and to remove all persons therefrom
and the Subtenant shall have no further claim thereon.
XXI. SUBORDINATION AND ATTORNMENT. Upon request of the Tenant, Subtenant
will subordinate its rights hereunder to the lien of any mortgage now or hereafter in force
against the property or any portion thereof, and to all advances made or hereafter to be
made upon the security thereof, and to any ground or underlying lease of the property;
provided, however, that in such case the holder of such mortgage, or the Tenant under
such Agreement, shall agree that this Agreement shall not be divested or in any way
affected by foreclosure, or other default proceedings under said mortgage, obligation
secured thereby, or Agreement, so long as the Subtenant shall not be in default under
the terms of this Agreement. Subtenant agrees that this Agreement shall remain in full
force and effect notwithstanding any such default proceedings under said mortgage or
obligation secured thereby.
Subtenant shall, in the event of the sale or assignment of Tenant's interest in the
building of which the Premises form a part, or in the event of any proceedings brought

under any mortgage made by Tenant covering the Premises, attorn to the purchaser
and recognize such purchaser as Tenant under this Agreement.
