If Lessee shall, at any time during the continuance of this lease attempt to remove or manifest an intention to remove the goods and chattels out or from said premises or desert or vacate said premises without having paid and satisfied the said Lessor in full for all rent which shall become due during the term of this lease, or any continuation thereof, or if said Lessee becomes embarrassed or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or is sold out by any sale under process of law, then in such cases the whole rent for the whole term of this lease, or any continuation thereof, shall be taken to be due and payable forthwith, and the said Lessor may proceed to distrain for and collect the whole in the same manner as if, by the conditions of this lease, the rent for the whole term, or any continuation thereof, were payable in advance, any law, usage or custom to the contrary notwithstanding. Lessee also agrees that all property on the said premises shall be liable to distress for rent, and for said damages, costs and charges, and for all costs of distress, watchmen's wages and constables' commissions, including such as may, by Act of Assembly, be chargeable to Lessor ; and in case any goods shall have been removed from the leased premises, Lessor may fol low, take and return said goods to the leased premises, or distrain on and sell the same wherever found. Lessee hereby waiving the benefit of all laws made or to be made exempting property from levy and sale, either on distress for said rent, dam

ages, costs, and charges, or on a judgment for said rent, damages, costs and charges, or for breach of any other of the conditions herein contained.

2d. Lessee shall not use, or allow to be used, the said premises for any purpose other than above mentioned, nor assign the said lease, nor underlet the said premises, or any part thereof, without the written consent of Lessor endorsed hereon. This covenant shall apply as well to an involuntary transfer by operation of law, whether by execution, insolvency or bankruptcy, as to a voluntary assignment or underletting.

3d. Lessee will, during the term remove or caused to be removed from said premises any and all ashes, rubbish or refuse matter and keep, and at the expiration thereof deliver up, the said premises in as good order and condition as the same now are, reasonable wear and tear, and damage by fire or other casualty, not occurring through Lessee's negligence, excepted, Lessee shall not make any alterations additions, or improvements without Lessor's written consent endorsed hereon, and all alterations, additions or improvements made by either of the parties hereto upon the premises, shall be the property of Lessor, and shall remain upon, and be surrendered with, the premises at the termination of this lease, without molestation or injury.

4th. Unless either party hereto shall give to the other written notice for removal at least Three months prior to the end of said term, this lease shall continue, upon the terms and conditions then in force, for a further period of One year and so on from year to year until terminated by either party hereto giving to the other at least three months written notice for removal prior to the expiration of the then current term; Provided, however, that if Lessor shall have given three months written notice, to be served by leaving the same on demised premises previous to the expiration of said term, or of any subsequent term created under the provisions hereof, of Lessor's intention to change the terms and conditions of this lease, and Lessee shall hold over at the end of the then current term after such notice, Lessee shall be considered a tenant under the terms, remedies and conditions of this lease as modified by such notice for a further period of one year and thereafter, from year to year until terminated as hereinabove provided, with the same effect as if a new lease in such form had been duly executed.

5th. It is further agreed that if the said rent shall at any time be in arrear and unpaid, or if Lessee shall fail to comply with any other of the covenants, terms or conditions of this lease during the said term, or any subsequent term, or with any notice given under the terms hereof this lease may, at the option of Lessor, be forthwith terminated, and thereupon any Attorney may immediately thereafter, as Attorney for Lessee at the request of Lessor sign an agreement for entering in any competent court an amicable action and judgment in ejectment to any term then past or present (without any stay of execution or appeal) against Lessee, and all persons claiming under Lessee for the recovery by Lessor of possession of the hereby demised premises, and for all arrearages of rent, if any, without any liability on the part of the said Attorney, for which this shall be a sufficient warrant; and thereupon a writ of habere facias possessionem, with a clause of fieri facias for such arrearages of rent, if any may issue forthwith, without any prior writ or proceeding whatsoever, and Lessee hereby releases to Lessor all errors and defects whatsoever in entering such action on judgment, or causing such writ of habere facias possessionem to be issued, or in any proceeding thereon or concerning the same; and hereby agrees that no writ of error or objection or exception shall be made or taken thereto; and a copy of this lease, with any modifications thereof, being filed in said action, it shall not be necessary to file the original as a warrant of Attorney, any law or rule of court to the contrary notwithstanding. No such determination of this lease, nor taking or recovering possession of the premises, shall deprive Lessor of any other action against Lessee for possession, for rent, or for damages, nor shall any distress or suit for rent or damages prevent Lessor from proceeding to recover possession on a breach of any of the terms or conditions hereof.

6th. It is hereby further agreed that if Lessor should for any cause be unable to deliver possession of said premises to Lessee at the beginning of the term of this lease or within ten days thereafter, Lessor shall not be liable therefor in damages to Lessee and upon Lessor's being unable to deliver possession before the expiration of said ten days, this lease may at the option of Lessee be forthwith terminated.

All rights, remedies and liabilities herein given to, or imposed upon, either of the parties hereto shall extend to the heirs, executors, administrators, successors, and, so far as this lease and the term thereby created is assignable by the terms hereof, to the assigns of such party.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, The parties hereto have hereunto set their hands and seals this Eleventh day of February 1912.
