1.Lessee shall pay Lessor or Lessor's agent as rent for the Premises the sum stated above, monthly in advance, until termination of this lease, at Lessor's address stated above or such other address as Lessor may designate in writing.

2.Lessee will pay, in addition to the rent above specified, all water rents, gas and electric light and power bills taxed, levied or charged on the Premises, for and during the time for which this lease is granted, and in case said water rents and bills for gas, electric light and power shall not be paid when due, Lessor shall have the right to pay the same, which amounts so paid, together with any sums paid by Lessor to keep the Premises in a clean and healthy condition, as herein specified, are declared to be so much additional rent and payable with the installment of rent next due thereafter.

3.The Premises shall not be sublet in whole or in part to any person other than Lessee, and Lessee shall not assign this lease without, in each case, the consent in writing of Lessor first had and obtained; nor permit to take place by any act or default of himself or any person within his control any transfer by" operation of law of Lessee's interest created hereby; nor offer for lease or sublease the Premises, nor any portion thereof, by placing notices or signs of "To Let," or any other similar sign or notice in any place, nor by advertising the same in any newspaper or place or manner whatsoever without, in each case, the consent in writing of Lessor first had and obtained. If Lessee, or anyone or more of the Lessees, if there be more than one, shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt, Lessor may terminate this lease, and in such event Lessee shall at once pay Lessor a sum of money equal to the entire amount of rent reserved by this lease for the then unexpired portion of the term hereby created, as liquidated damages.

4.Lessee will not permit any unlawful or immoral practice, with or without his knowledge or consent, to be committed or carried on in the Premises by himself or by any other person. Lessee will not allow the Premises to be used for any purpose that will increase the rate of insurance thereon, nor for any pur- pose other than that hereinbefore specified. Lessee will not keep or use or permit to be kept or used in or on the Premises or any place contiguous thereto any flammable fluids or explosives, without the written permission of Lessor first had and obtained. Lessee will not load floors beyond the floor load rating pre- scribed by applicable municipal ordinances. Lessee will not use or allow the use of the Premises for any purpose whatsoever that will injure the reputation of the Premises or of the building of which they are a part.

S.Lessee has examined and knows the condition of the Premises and has received the same in good order and repair, and acknowledges that no representations as to the condition and repair thereof, and no agreements or promises to decorate, alter, repair or improve the Premises, have been made by Lessor or his agent prior to or at the execution of this lease that are not herein expressed.

6.Lessee shall keep the Premises and appurtenances thereto in a clean, sightly and healthy condition, and in good repair, all according to the statutes and ordinances in such cases made and provided, and the directions of public officers thereunto duly authorized, all at his own expense, and shall yield the same back to Lessor upon the termination of this lease, whether such termination shall occur by expiration of the term, or in any other manner whatsoever, in the same condition of cleanliness, repair and sightliness as at the date of the execution hereof, loss by fire and reasonable wear and tear excepted. Lessee shall make all necessary repairs and renewals upon Premises and replace broken globes, glass and fixtures with material of the same size and quality as that broken and shall insure all glass in windows and doors of the Premises at his own expense. If, however, the Premises shall not thus be kept in good repair and in a clean, sightly and healthy condition by Lessee, as aforesaid, Lessor may enter the same, himself or by his agents, servants or employes, without such entering causing or constituting a termination of this lease or an interference with the possession of the Premises by Lessee, and Lessor may replace the same in the same condition of repair, sightliness, healthiness and cleanliness as existed at the date of execution hereof, and Lessee agrees to pay Lessor, in addition to the rent hereby reserved, the expenses of Lessor in thus replacing the Premises in that

condition. Lessee shall not cause or permit any waste, misuse or neglect of the water, or of the water, gas or electric fixtures.

part nor from the escape of steam or hot water from any radiator, it being agreed that said radiators are under the control of Lessee, nor for any such damage or injury occasioned by water, snow or ice being upon or coming through the roof, skylight, trap-door, stairs, walks or any other place upon or near the Premises, or otherwise, nor for any such damage or injury done or occasioned by the falling of any fixture, plaster or stucco, nor for any damage or injury arising from any act, omission or negligence of co-tenants or of other persons, occupants of the same building or of adjoining or contiguous buildings or of owners of adjacent

or contiguous property, or of Lessor's agents or Lessor himself, all claims for any such damage or injury being hereby expressly waived by Lessee.

9.Lessee shall not attach, affix or exhibit or permit to be attached, affixed or exhibited, except by Lessor or his agent, any articles of permanent character or any sign, attached or detached, with any writing or printing thereon, to any window, floor, ceiling, door or wall in any place in or about the Premises, or upon any of the appurtenances thereto, without in each case the written consent of Lessor first had and obtained; and shall not commit or suffer any waste in or about said premises; and shall make no changes or alterations in the Premises by the erection of partitions or the papering of walls, or otherwise, without the consent in

writing of Lessor; and in case Lessee shall affix additional locks or bolts on doors or window, or shall place in the Premises lighting fixtures or any fixtures of any kind, without the consent of Lessor first had anc obtained, such locks, bolts and fixtures shall remain for the benefit of Lessor, and without expense of removal or maintenance to Lessor. Lessor shall have the privilege of retaining the same if he desires. If he does not desire to retain the same, he may remove and store the same, and Lessee agrees to pay the expense of

removal and storage thereof. The provisions of this paragraph shall not however apply to Lessee's trade fixtures, equipment and moveable furniture.

10.Where building is equipped for the purpose, Lessor shall furnish to Lessee a reasonable amount of heat, from October 1st to May 1st, whenever in Lessor's judgment necessary for comfortable use of the Premises, during customary business hours (excluding Sundays and holidays), but not earlier than 8 a.m. nor later than 6 p.m. unless specifically stated herein. Lessor does not warrant that heating service will be free from interruptions caused by strike, accident or other cause beyond the reasonable control of Lessor, or by renewal or repair of the heating apparatus in the building. Any such interruption shall not be deemed an eviction or disturbance of Lessee's use and possession of Premises, nor render Lessor liable to Lessee in damages. All claims against Lessor for injury or damage arising from failure to furnish heat are hereby expressly waived by Lessee.

11.In case the Premises shall be rendered untenantable by fire, explosion or other casualty, Lessor may, at his option, terminate this lease or repair the Premises within sixty days. If Lessor does not repair the Premises within said time, or the building containing the Premises shall have been wholly destroyed, the term hereby created shall cease and determine.

12.At the termination of the term of this lease, by lapse of time or otherwise, Lessee will yield up immediate possession of the Premises to Lessor, in good condition and repair, loss by fire and ordinary wear excepted, and will return the keys therefor to Lessor at the place of payment of rent. If Lessee retains pos- session of the Premises or any part thereof after the termination of the term by lapse of time or otherwise, then Lessor may at its option within thirty days after termination of the term serve written notice upon Lessee that such holding over constitutes either (a) renewal of this lease for one year, and from year to year thereafter, at double the rental (computed on an annual basis) specified in Section 1, or (b) creation of a month to month tenancy, upon the terms of this lease except at double the monthly rental specified in

Section 1, or (c) creation of a tenancy at sufferance, at a rental ofdollars per day for the time Lessee remains in possession. If no such written notice is served then a tenancy at sufferance

with rental as stated at (c) shall have been created. Lessee shall also pay to Lessor all damages sustained by Lessor resulting from retention of possession by Lessee. The provisions of this paragraph shall not consti- tute a waiver by Lessor of any right of re-entry as hereinafter set forth; nor shall receipt of any rent or any other act in apparent affirmance of tenancy operate as a waiver of the right to terminate this lease for a breach of any of the covenants herein.

13.If Lessee shall vacate or abandon the Premises or permit the same to remain vacant or unoccu- pied for a period of ten days, or in case of the non-payment of the rent reserved hereby, or any part thereof, or of the breach of any covenant in this lease contained, Lessee's right to the possession of the Premises thereupon shall terminate, with or without any notice or demand whatsoever, and the mere retention of possession thereafter by Lessee shall constitute a forcible detainer of the Premises; and if the Lessor so elects, but not otherwise, and with or without notice of such election or any notice or demand whatsoever, this lease shall thereupon terminate, and upon the termination of Lessee's right of possession, as aforesaid, whether this lease be terminated or not, Lessee agrees to surrender possession of the Premises immediately, without the receipt of any demand for rent, notice to quit or demand for possession of the Premises whatsoever, and hereby grants to Lessor full and free license to enter into and upon the Premises or any part thereof, to take possession thereof with or without process of law, and to expel and to remove Lessee or any other person who may be occupying the Premises or any part thereof, and Lessor may use such force in and about expelling and removing Lessee and other persons as may reasonably be necessary, and Lessor may re-possess himself of the Premises as of his former estate, but such entry of the Premises shall not constitute a trespass or forcible entry or detainer, nor shall it cause a forfeiture of rents due by virtue thereof, nor a waiver of any covenant, agreement or promise in this lease contained, to be performed by Lessee. Lessee hereby waives all notice of any election made by Lessor hereunder, demand for rent, notice to quit, demand for possession, and any and all notices and demands whatsoever, of any and every nature, which mayor shall be required by any statute of this state relating to forcible entry and detainer, or to landlord and tenant, or any other statute, or by the common law, during the term of this lease or any extension thereof. The accept- ance of rent, whether in a single instance or repeatedly, after it falls due, or after knowledge of any breach hereof by Lessee, or the giving or making of any notice or demand, whether according to any statutory provision or not, or any act or series of acts except an express written waiver, shall not be construed as a waiver of Lessor's right to act without notice or demand or of any other right hereby given Lessor, or as an election not to proceed under the provisions of this lease.

14.If Lessee's right to the possession of the Premises shall be terminated in any way, the Premises, or any part thereof, may, but need not, be relet by Lessor, for the account and benefit of Lessee, for such rent and upon such terms and to such person or persons and for such period or periods as may seem fit to the Lessor, but Lessor shall not be required to accept or receive any tenant offered by Lessee, nor to do any act whatsoever or exercise any diligence whatsoever, in or about the procuring of another occupant or tenant to mitigate the damages of Lessee or otherwise, Lessee hereby waiving the use of any care or diligence by Lessor in the reletting thereof; and if a sufficient sum shall not be received from such reletting to satisfy the rent hereby reserved, after paying the expenses of reletting and collection, including commissions to agents,

19.The obligation of Lessee to pay the rent reserved hereby during the balance of the term hereof, or during any extension hereof, shall not be deemed to be waived, released or terminated, nor shall the right and power to confess judgment given in paragraph 16 hereof be deemed to be waived or terminated by the service of any five-day notice, other notice to collect, demand for possession, or notice that the tenancy hereby created will be terminated on the date therein named, the institution of any action of forcible detainer or ejectment or any judgment for possession that may be rendered in such action, or any other act or acts resulting in the termination of Lessee's right to possession of the Premises. The Lessor may collect and re- ceive any rent due from Lessee, and payment or receipt thereof shall not waive or affect any such notice, demand, suit or judgment, or in any manner whatsoever waive, affect, change, modify or alter any rights or remedies which Lessor may have by virtue hereof.
