The policy of Commercial General Liability insurance shall be written on an "occurrence" basis and not a "claims made" basis and shall provide that it is primary with respect to any policies carried by Licensor and that any coverage carried by Licensor shall be excess insurance. All policies shall be written by an insurer authorized to engage in the business of insuring risks required hereunder to be insured in the state where the Space is located. With respect to each and every policy of such insurance and each renewal thereof, Licensee, at the beginning of the term hereof and thereafter not less than twenty (20) days prior to the expiration of each such policy, shall furnish Licensor with a certificate of insurance executed by the insurer which shall contain, in addition to matters customarily set forth in such certificate under standard industry practices, an undertaking by the insurer to give Licensor twenty (20) days prior written notice of any cancellation, non-renewal or change in scope or amount of coverage of such policy.

If Licensee shall not comply with its covenants made in this Section, Licensor may, at its option, consider Licensee's failure to comply a default under this entire Agreement and/or may cause such insurance as aforesaid to be issued and, in such event, Licensee agrees to pay the premium for such insurance promptly upon Licensor's demand as an additional charge. 8. DEFAULT. Any failure to perform or other breach of any provision of this Agreement by Licensee shall constitute a default under this Agreement and all other agreements or Licenses between Licensor and Licensee, if any. Any breach or default under any other agreement or License between Licensor and Licensee shall constitute a default under this Agreement. Licensor may, upon a default, pursue any and all remedies available to it under this Agreement and at law or in equity. Such remedies shall include, but not be limited to, the right of Licensor to terminate this Agreement, the right of Licensor to terminate Licensee's right to possession under this Agreement but not to terminate this Agreement, and the right of Licensor to recover against Licensee damages for loss of bargain, and not as a penalty, the then present worth of all fees and charges for the balance of the Term. 9. TERMINATION. Licensee's right to use and occupy the Space may be terminated upon ten (10) days' written notice by Licensor: (1) for any reason whatsoever with or without cause or (2) in the event Licensee breaches any term of this Agreement or the rules, regulations or directions issued by Licensor. In the event of termination by Licensor, any deposits or charges paid by Licensee will not be refunded or pro-rated, except as otherwise set forth herein. If Licensee cancels the executed License Agreement or fails to complete the agreed upon term, Licensee will be fully responsible for all charges for the term agreed upon in this License Agreement, and payment may be demanded in full at any time by Licensor. Licensee agrees, upon termination notification to Licensee by Licensor, to immediately cease use and occupancy and immediately to remove any and all personnel, facilities, fixtures, goods and other property of Licensee from the Space, Center and parking area, or any parts thereof. Licensee acknowledges that the Space is being made available to Licensee as a license (and not a lease) for a limited period of time and for limited purposes, and that the area where the Space is located shall be used otherwise by Licensor for the general use and convenience of patrons of the Center or for construction and occupancy by a tenant, licensee or other occupant in the Center. Accordingly, Licensee affirmatively acknowledges the remedies herein contained in Sections 9 and 10 hereof. If any legal action is brought by Licensor or against Licensee, Licensor shall be entitled to recover from Licensee, Licensor's attorneys fees, costs and other necessary expenses incurred by Licensor in the enforcement by Licensor of the provisions of this Agreement, and Licensee shall pay the same to Licensor upon Licensor's demand therefor. If Licensee does not vacate the Space as herein before provided by the date and hour specified by Licensor or otherwise breaches this Agreement by taking occupancy prior to the Commencement Date or remaining in occupancy after the Expiration Date (including the failure to remove Licensee's goods and effects), Licensee shall pay to Licensor, a sum equal to twice the per diem Minimum Fee specified in 1(G) for each day Licensee holds over. Such sum shall not be considered a penalty but a liquidation fee given the inability of Licensor to calculate damages for such breach and below the market rate of the Minimum Fee for the Space. 10. OTHER REMEDIES. Licensee further hereby expressly authorizes and empowers (which power is coupled with an interest) Licensor, upon the occurrence of a breach, to exercise the remedy of self-help and to enter upon the Space, distrain upon and remove therefrom all inventory, equipment, machinery, trade fixtures and personal property of whatsoever kind or nature, whether owned by Licensee or by others, and to proceed without judicial decree, writ of execution or assistance or involvement of constables or officers, to conduct a private sale, by auction or sealed bid without restriction or to dispose thereof otherwise.

EFFECT OF FAILURE TO VACATE; ADDITIONAL PAYMENT. If Licensee or any person(s) claiming under Licensee remains in possession of the Space or any part thereof after the earlier of the termination of this Agreement or the Expiration Date, no Licensee, tenancy or interest in the Space shall result therefrom; rather, such failure to vacate shall be unlawful trespass and all such persons shall be subject to immediate removal, and Licensee shall pay, as liquidated damages, a sum equal to $500.00 per day for such period. 13. HOLDING OVER. If Licensee fails to vacate the Space prior to the Expiration Date or earlier termination of this Agreement, and provided that a new agreement is not executed by both Licensor and Licensee prior to the Expiration Date, Licensor shall have the benefit of all provisions of law respecting the recovery of the Space to the same extent as if statutory notice had been given. In addition to, and not in limitation of the foregoing, if Licensee fails to surrender the Space to Licensor and provided that a new agreement is not executed by both Licensor and Licensee prior to the Expiration Date, occupancy subsequent to the Expiration Date shall be deemed to be at will and in no event from month to month or from year to year, but shall be subject to all the terms, covenants, and conditions of this License, except that for each day Licensee holds over, the Minimum Fee shall be two times the highest annual Minimum Fee, payable hereunder divided by three hundred sixty-five (365).
