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

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

federal officials upon demand.
10. 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.
11. 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.
12. 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.
13. 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.
14. 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
accrue a payment penalty of one of the following: (Choose One)
A. ☐ Interest at a rate of _______________ percent (_____%) per annum
on a daily basis until the amount is paid in full.

payments.

indemnify, defend and hold the Lessor harmless from any and all
claims or liabilities which may arise from any cause whatsoever as a
result of Lessee’s use 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.
16. BANKRUPTCY: 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.

proceedings under said mortgage, obligation secured thereby, or
Lease, so long as the Lessee shall not be in default under the terms of
this Lease. Lessee agrees that this Lease shall remain in full force and
effect notwithstanding any such default proceedings under said
mortgage or obligation secured thereby.
