No assignment shall relieve Tenant of its obligation to pay rent or perform other obligations required by this Lease, and no consent to one assignment or subletting shall be a consent to any further assignment or subletting. If Tenant proposes a subletting or assignment to Landlord, Landlord shall have the option of terminating this Lease and dealing directly with the proposed subtenant or assignee, or any third party. If an assignment or subletting is permitted, any cash profit, or the net value of any other consideration received by Tenant as a result of such transaction shall be paid to Landlord promptly following its receipt by Tenant. Tenant shall pay any costs incurred by Landlord in connection with a request for assignment or subletting, including reasonable attorneys' fees. 19.1 DEFAULT Any of the following shall constitute a default by Tenant under this Lease: 19.1.1 Tenant's failure to pay rent or any other charge under this Lease within ten (10) days after it is due, or failure to comply with any other term or condition PAGE 5 including occupancy as set fourth in Addendum A within twenty (20) days following written notice from Landlord specifying the noncompliance. 19.1.2 Tenant's insolvency, business failure or assignment for the benefit of its creditors.

Following such retaking of possession, efforts by Landlord to relet the Premises shall be sufficient if Landlord follows its usual procedures for finding tenants for the space at rates not less than the current rates for other comparable space in the Building. If Landlord has other vacant space in the Building, prospective tenants may be placed in such other space without prejudice to Landlord's claim to damages or loss of rentals from Tenant. 20.1.2 Landlord may recover all damages caused by Tenant's default which shall include an amount equal to rentals lost because of the default, lease commissions paid for this Lease, and the unamortized cost of any tenant improvements installed by Landlord to meet Tenant's special requirements. Landlord may sue periodically to recover damages as they occur throughout the Lease term, and no action for accrued damages shall bar a later action for damages subsequently accruing. Landlord may elect in any one action to recover accrued damages plus damages attributable to the remaining term of the Lease. Such damages shall be measured by the difference between the rent under this Lease and the reasonable rental value of the Premises for the remainder of the term, discounted to the time of judgment at the prevailing interest rate on judgments. 20.1.3 Landlord may make any payment or perform any obligation which Tenant has failed to perform as required under paragraph 10.1 hereof, in which case PAGE 6 Landlord shall be entitled to recover from Tenant upon demand all amounts so expended, plus interest from the date of expenditure at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum.

Tenant shall remove all of its furnishings and trade fixtures that remain its property and restore all damage resulting from such removal. Failure to remove shall be an abandonment of the property, and Landlord may dispose of it in any manner without liability. If Tenant fails to vacate the Premises when required, including failure to remove all its personal property, Landlord may elect either: (i) to treat Tenant as a tenant from month to month, subject to the provisions of this Lease except that rent shall be one-and-one-half (1-1/2) times the total rent being charged when the Lease term expired; or (ii) to eject Tenant from the Premises and recover damages caused by wrongful holdover. 22.1 REGULATIONS Landlord shall have the right (but shall not be obligated) to make, revise and enforce regulations or policies consistent with this Lease for the purpose of promoting safety, order, economy, cleanliness, and good service to all tenants of the Building (See ADDENDUM A, attached). 23.1 ACCESS Landlord shall have the right to enter upon the Premises to perform necessary services, maintenance and repairs to the Building or the Premises.
