expiration of the applicable cure period set forth below without such event being cured or
remedied will constitute a "Default by Lessee" to the greatest extent then allowed by law:
i. Abandonment of Premises or discontinuation of Lessee's operation.
ii. Failure of Lessee to perform or comply with any material covenant or
condition made under this Lease, which failure is not cured within ninety
(90) days from receipt of Lessor's written notice stating the non-
compliance shall constitute a default (other than those covenants for which
a different cure period is provided), whereby Lessor may, at its option,
terminate this Lease by giving Lessee thirty (30) days written notice
unless the default is fully cured within that thirty (30) day notice period
(or such additional time as is agreed to in writing by Lessor as being
reasonably required to correct such default). However, the occurrence of
any of the events set forth above shall constitute a material breach and
default by Lessee, and this Lease may be immediately terminated by
Lessor except to the extent then prohibited by law.

addition to any other rights and remedies it may have, shall have the

a public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost of and for the account of
Lessee, all without service of notice or resort to legal process and without
being deemed guilty of trespass, or being liable for any loss or damage
which may be occasioned thereby. If Lessee does not cure the defaults in
the time frames as set forth above, and Lessor has removed and stored
property, Lessor shall not be required to store for more than thirty (30)
days. After such time, such property shall be deemed abandoned and
Lessor shall dispose of such property in any lawful manner it so chooses
and shall not be liable to Lessee for such disposal.
c. Default by Lessor. Lessor shall in no event be charged with default in the
performance of any of its obligations hereunder unless and until Lessor shall have failed
to perform such obligations within thirty (30) days (or such additional time as is
reasonably required to correct such default) after written notice to Lessor by Lessee
properly and in meaningful detail specifying wherein, in Lessee's judgment or opinion,
Lessor has failed to perform any such obligation(s).

material inducement and consideration for the execution of this Lease by Lessee and

be deemed for any purpose to be a waiver of any breach of any other provision hereof or
of any continuing or subsequent breach of the same provision, irrespective of the length
of time that the respective breach may have continued.
