In consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements herein stated, Lessor hereby leases to Lessee and Lessee hereby leases from Lessor solely for the above purposes the premises designated above (the "Premises"), together with the appurtenances thereto, for the above Term.

        1.     Lessee shall pay Lessor or Lessor's agent as rent for the Premises the sum stated above, monthly in advance, until termination of this lease, at Lessor's address stated above or such other address as Lessor may designate in writing. Rent paid after the 5th of the month shall bear a 5% late charge as well as 18% simple interest per annum until paid.

        2.     Lessor will at all reasonable hours during each day and evening, from October 1 to May 1 during the term, when required by the season, furnish at his own expense heat for the heating apparatus in the demised premises, except when prevented by accidents and unavoidable delays, provided, however, that the Lessor shall not be held liable in damages on account of any personal injury or loss occasioned by the failure of the heating apparatus to heat the Premises sufficiently, by any leakage or breakage of the pipes, by any defect in the electric wiring, elevator apparatus and service thereof, or by reason of any other defect, latent or patent, in, around or about the said building.

        3.     Lessor will cause the halls, corridors and other parts of the building adjacent to the Premises to be lighted, cleaned and generally cared for, accidents and unavoidable delays excepted.

        4.     The rules and regulations at the end of this Lease constitute a part of this Lease. Lessee shall observe and comply with them, and also with such further reasonable rules and regulations as may later be required by Lessor for the necessary, proper and orderly care of the Building in which Premises are located.

        5.     Lessee shall neither sublet the Premises or any part thereof nor assign this Lease nor permit by any act or default any transfer of Lessee's interest by operation of law, nor offer the Premises or



any part thereof for lease or sublease, nor permit the use thereof for any purpose other than as above mentioned, without in each case the written consent of Lessor.

        6.     Lessee shall quit and surrender the Premises at the end of the term in as good condition as the reasonable use thereof will permit, with all keys thereto, and shall not make any alterations in the Premises without the written consent of Lessor; and all alterations which may be made by either party hereto upon the Premises, except movable furniture and fixtures put in at the expense of Lessee, shall be the property of Lessor, and shall remain upon and be surrendered with the Premises as a part thereof at the termination of this lease.

        7.     Lessee shall restore the Premises to Lessor, with glass of like kind and quality in the several doors and windows thereof, entire and unbroken, as is now therein, and will not allow any waste of the water or misuse or neglect the water or light fixtures on the Premises, and will pay all damages to the Premises as well as all other damage to other tenants of the Building, caused by such waste or misuse.

        8.     At the termination of this lease, by lapse of time or otherwise, Lessee agrees to yield up immediate and peaceable possession to Lessor, and failing so to do, to pay as liquidated damages, for the whole time such possession is withheld, the sum of $250.00 Dollars per day, and it shall be lawful for the Lessor or his legal representative at any time thereafter, without notice, to re-enter the Premises or any part thereof, either with or without process of law, and to expel, remove and put out the Lessee or any person or persons occupying the same, using such force as may be necessary so to do, and to repossess and enjoy the Premises again as before this lease, without prejudice to any remedies which might otherwise be used for arrears of rent or preceding breach of covenants; or in case the Premises shall be abandoned, deserted, or vacated, and remain unoccupied five days consecutively, the Lessee hereby authorizes and requests the Lessor as Lessee's agent to re-enter the Premises and remove all articles found therein, place them in some regular storage warehouse or other suitable storage place, at the cost and expense of Lessee, and proceed to re-rent the Premises at the Lessor's option and discretion and apply all money so received after paying the expenses of such removal toward the rent accruing under this lease. This request shall not in any way be construed as requiring any compliance therewith on the part of the Lessor. If the Lessee shall fail to pay the rent at the times, place and in the manner above provided, and the same shall remain unpaid five days after the day whereon the same should be paid, the Lessor by reason thereof shall be authorized to declare the term ended, and the Lessee hereby expressly waives all right or rights to any notice or demand under any statute of the state relative to forcible entry or detainer or landlord and tenant, and agrees that the Lessor, his agents or assigns may begin suit for possession or rent without notice or demand.

        9.     In the event of re-entry and removal of the articles found on the Premises as hereinbefore provided, the Lessee hereby authorizes and requests the Lessor to sell the same at public or private sale with or without notice, and the proceeds thereof, after paying the expenses of removal, storage and sale to apply towards the rent reserved herein, rendering the overplus, if any, to Lessee upon demand.

        8.     Vacated in paragraph 8 above shall be defined as moving out all personal property with an intent not to return to the space. Lessor will give Lessee notice and five days to cure before declaring the Lease term ended for non-payment of rent.

        10.   Except, if and to the extent caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or it's agents, employees, or contractors, the Lessor shall not be liable for any loss of property or defects in the Building or in the Premises or any accidental damages to the person or property of the Lessee in or about the Building or the Premises from water, rain or snow which may leak into, issue or flow from any part of the Building or the Premises or from the pipes or plumbing works of the same. The Lessee hereby covenants and agree the Premises claim for any such loss or damage at any time. The Lessor shall not be liable for any loss or damage of or to any property placed in any storeroom or storage place in the Building, such storeroom or storage place being furnished gratuitously, and no part of the obligations of this lease.

        11.   The words "Lessor" and "Lessee" wherever used in this lease shall be construed to mean Lessees in all cases where there is more than one Lessor or Lessee, and to apply to individuals, male



or female, or to firms or corporations, as the same may be described as Lessor or Lessee herein, and the necessary grammatical changes shall be assumed in each case as though fully expressed. All covenants, promises, representations and agreements herein contained shall be binding upon, apply and inure to the benefit of Lessor and Lessee and their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns.

        WITNESS the hands and seals of the parties hereto, as of the Date of Lease stated above.
