If Company should default for a period of ten (10) days in the performance of any of its convenants or obligations other than those set forth in the immediately preceding paragraph, and if such default shall continue for a period of ninety (90) days after written notice of such default and request for compliance having been given Company by Vincent (with a copy of said notice to any mortgagee of Company for whom a mailing address has heretofore been left with Vincent for such purposes as herein provided) -- or if Company is timely and diligently pursuing all legal remedies to secure compliance with the terms of this lease, such ninety (90) day period of time shall be extended for such additional period of time, and for only such period of time as Company is proceeding timely and with due diligence in the exercise of all legal remedies available to Company to secure compliance with the terms of this lease -- Vincent may at any time thereafter during the continuance of said default, at his election, declare this lease cancelled and terminated. If Vincent elects to declare this lease cancelled and terminated as provided above, Company shall pay Vincent all past due rental and, as liquidated damages, a sum equal to all of the rental which would become due under the lease for the unexpired term if the lease should have remained in full force and effect, and Vincent's lessor's lien shall remain in full force and effect on and against all property on the leased property to secure payment of said claims. 14. If Company shall at any time during the term hereof be adjudged a bankrupt, or shall make a voluntary assignment for the benefit of creditors, or if a receiver of Company shall be appointed, or if this lease shall by operation of law devolve on or pass to another person, or persons, other than Company, or any of its successors and assigns, sub-tenants, sub-lessees, mortgages or other lien holders, then and in each of said cases: (a) If there be only one lessee and there be a mortgage of this lease, then this lease shall thereupon be deemed ipso facto assigned to said mortgagee; or (b) If there be more than one lessee, the interest of each lessee involved in any of said proceedings shall thereupon be deemed ipso facto assigned in equal shares to the other lessees; or (c) if there be only one lessee, and no mortgagee of lessee and if there be a sub-lessee of lessee, this lease shall thereupon be deemed ipso facto assigned to the sub-lessee of lessee holding the first sub-lease in point of time subject to any other subleases then in force; (d) if there be only one lessee, and if there be no mortgagee of lessee or sub-lessee of lessee, this lease shall thereupon ipso facto terminate and come to an end; and if this lease should so terminate, Company shall pay Vincent all past due rental and, as liquidated damages, a sum equal to all of the rental which would become due under the lease for the unexpired term if the lease should have remained in full force and effect, and Vincent's lessor's lien shall remain in full force and effect on and against all property on the leased property to secure payment of said claims. 15. Should Company mortgage or otherwise encumber the leasehold estate created hereby or any buildings, structures, improvements, fixtures, equipment, machinery, or other property, upon the leased premises, Company shall give Vincent written notice thereof and the name and address of such mortgages; 3 and thereafter, while said mortgages or other encumbrances are in force, Vincent shall give said mortgagees a duplicate copy of any and all notices of default or other notices in writing which Vincent may give or serve upon Company pursuant to the terms of this lease. A different address may be designated by such mortgagees by written notice delivered to Vincent from time to time. Any such mortgagees may, at their option, at any time before the rights of Company shall have been forfeited to Vincent, as provided for in this lease, pay any of the rents or other sums of money herein stipulated to be paid by Company or do any other act or thing required of Company by the terms of this lease; and all payments so made and all things so done or performed by any such mortgagees shall be as effective to prevent a forfeiture of the rights of Company hereunder as the same would have been if done and performed by Company instead of by any such mortgagees. Any such mortgages or encumbrances so given by Company may provide that, as between any such mortgages and Company, said mortgagee, on making good and performing any such default or defaults on the part of Company, shall be thereby subrogated to any and all of the rights of Company under the terms and provisions of this lease. No such mortgagee of the rights and interests of Company hereunder shall be or become entitled to be treated by Vincent as an assignee of this lease until such time as said mortgagee shall by foreclosure or other appropriate proceedings in the nature thereof, or as the result of any other action or by proper conveyance from Company, acquire the rights and interests of Company under the terms of this lease. 16. It is agreed and understood that any holding over by the Company of the leased premises after the expiration of this lease shall operate and be construed as a month to month lease at a rental to be negotiated. 17. Company shall have the right to renew this lease for nine (9) additional terms of five (5) years each by giving notice of its election to renew at least ninety (90) days before the end of the primary term or the end of any extended term of the lease. Renewals shall be on the same conditions and under the same covenants, except that the rental shall be paid monthly in advance as follows: 74 - 79 -- 1st renewal $550 per month 79 - 84 -- 2nd renewal $561 per month 84 - 89 -- 3rd renewal $595 per month 89 - 11/6/94 -- 4th renewal $631 per month 11/9/94 - 11/6/99 -- 5th renewal $673 per month 11/9/99 - 2004 -- 6th renewal $713 per month 11/9/2004 - 2009 -- 7th renewal $761 per month 2009 - 2014 -- 8th renewal $806 per month 2014 - 2019 -- 9th renewal $854 per month 18. Provided Company is not in default with the terms, conditions and covenants of this lease which it is perform, then Vincent guarantees Company quiet enjoyment of the leased premises during the term of this lease. 19. No waver by Vincent of any default or breach of any term, covenant, condition, agreement, provision, or stipulation herein contained shall be treated as a waiver of any subsequent default or breach of the same or any other term, covenant, condition, agreement, provision, or stipulation hereof. 20.
