charges, or any other charges owed by Tenant, and then to delinquent Rent.
B. If Tenant fails to perform any other term, condition, or covenant of this Lease for
more than thirty (30) days after written notice of such failure shall have been received by Tenant,

which Landlord is entitled, under applicable law or this Lease, for such failure which shall be
deemed a default.
C. Should Tenant fail to cure aforementioned default, at the option of the Landlord,
the Tenant's right of possession shall cease and the Landlord shall be entitled to the possession

said Premises for the benefit of the Tenant in liquidation and discharge in whole or in part as the
case may be of the liability of said Tenant under the terms and provisions of this Lease.

or other applicable summary process shall be served and a compromise or settlement thereof
shall be made, it shall not be constituted as a waiver of any covenant herein contained; and that

as a waiver of the covenant condition, or agreement itself or any subsequent breach thereof.

Landlord's judgment, required for the general well-being, safety, care and cleanliness of the
Premises and the building of which they are a part, shall be faithfully kept, observed and
