VIII. Leasehold Improvements: The Lessee agrees that no leasehold
improvements, alterations or changes of any nature, (except for those
listed on any attached addenda) shall be made to the leasehold premises

housing the subject leasehold Premises. If the Lessee makes any
improvements to the Premises the Lessee shall be responsible payment,
except the following
_____________________________________________________.
Nothing in the Lease shall be construed to authorize the Lessee or any
other person acting for the Lessee to encumber the rents of the Premises
or the interest of the Lessee in the Premises or any person under and
through whom the Lessee has acquired its interest in the Premises with a
mechanic’s lien or any other type of encumbrance. Under no circumstance
shall the Lessee be construed to be the agent, employee or representative
of Lessor. In the event a lien is placed against the Premises, through
actions of the Lessee, Lessee will promptly pay the same or bond against
the same and take steps immediately to have such lien removed. If the
Lessee fails to have the Lien removed, the Lessor shall take steps to
remove the lien and the Lessee shall pay Lessor for all expenses related
to the Lien and removal thereof and shall be in default of this Lease.
IX. Licenses and Permits: A copy of any and all local, state or federal
permits acquired by the Lessee which are required for the use of the
Premises shall be kept on site at all times and shall be readily accessible
and produced to the Lessor and/or their agents or any local, state, or
federal officials upon demand.
X. Obligations of Lessee: The Lessee shall be primarily responsible
whenever needed for the maintenance and general pickup of the
entranceway leading into the Premises, so that this is kept in a neat, safe
and presentable condition. The Lessee shall also be responsible for all
minor repairs and maintenance of the leasehold Premises, particularly
those items which need immediate attention and which the Lessees, 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 Lessee
shall properly maintain the Premises in a good, safe, and clean condition.
The Lessee 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 Lessee, their employees, agents, business
invitees, or any independent contractors serving the Lessee or in any way
as a result of Lessee’s use and occupancy of the Premises, then the
Lessee shall be primarily responsible for seeing that the proper claims are
placed with the Lessee’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 Lessor, and the party or parties causing said
damage. Any damage that is not covered by an insurance company will be
the liability of the Lessee.
The Lessee shall, during the term of this Lease, 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 Lease, 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 Lessee or her
guests or invitees. Furthermore, the Lessee 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. Lessee 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.
XI. Insurance: In the event the Lessee shall fail to obtain insurance required
hereunder and fails to maintain the same in force continuously during the
term, Lessor may, but shall not be required to, obtain the same and
charge the Lessee for same as additional rent. Furthermore, Lessee
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 Lessee, then Lessee shall pay to Lessor, upon demand, such increase
in insurance premium as shall be caused by said use or Lessee’s
proportionate share of any such increase.
XII. Sublet/Assignment: The Lessee may not transfer or assign this Lease, 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
Lessor.
XIII. 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 Lessee
and which precludes or adversely affects the Lessee’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 Lessee and until
the demised Premises have been put in a condition at the expense of the
Lessor, 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 Lessor'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.
XIV. Default and Possession: In the event that the Lessee 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 Lease for a period of more than 15 days, after receiving
notice of said default, then the parties hereto expressly agree and
covenant that the Lessor may declare the Lease terminated and may
immediately re-enter said Premises and take possession of the same
together with any of Lessee’s personal property, equipment or fixtures left
on the Premises which items may be held by the Lessor as security for the
Lessee’s eventual payment and/or satisfaction of rental defaults or other
defaults of Lessee under the Lease. It is further agreed, that if the Lessee
is in default, that the Lessor 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
Lessor in violation of its security interest in said items of personal property.
Furthermore, in the event of default, the Lessor 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 Lessee’s, at the Lessee’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 Lessee’s property, including the storage of the same, under
reasonable terms and conditions at Lessee’s expense, and, in addition, it
is understood that the Lessor may sue the Lessee 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 Lease, 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.
Rent which is in default for more than _____ days after due date shall

and occupancy of the Premises, and further shall indemnify the Lessor for
any losses which the Lessor may suffer in connection with the Lessee’s
use and occupancy or care, custody and control of the Premises. The
Lessee also hereby covenants and agrees to indemnify and hold harmless
the Lessor from any and all claims or liabilities which may arise from any
latent defects in the subject Premises that the Lessor is not aware of at
the signing of the lease or at any time during the lease term.
XVI. Bankruptcy - Insolvency: The Lessee agrees that in the event all or a
substantial portion of the Lessee’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 Lessee make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or be
adjudicated bankrupt; or should the Lessee institute any proceedings
under the bankruptcy act or any amendment thereto, then such Lease 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 Lessor hereunder or by law provided, it shall be lawful for
the Lessor 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 Lessee shall have no further claim
thereon.
XVII. Subordination and Attornment: Upon request of the Lessor, Lessee 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

such case the holder of such mortgage, or the Lessor under such Lease
shall agree that this Lease shall not be divested or in any way affected by
