Section 2. In the event of a default pursuant to Section 1 of this Article, Landlord may, by serving ten (10) days written notice upon Tenant, elect either to:

(a)         Cancel and terminate this Lease, or

If Landlord gives Tenant notice of Tenant’s default and/or delivers to Tenant a Notice of Demand for Payment or Possession pursuant to the applicable statute (either of which shall hereinafter to referred to as a “Notice of Default”), the Notice of Default will not constitute an election to terminate the Lease unless Landlord expressly states in the Notice of Default that it is exercising its right to terminate the Lease.

Section 3. Upon any termination of this Lease, the Landlord may enter upon the Leased Premise and repossess the same (including all fixtures and equipment therein), and expel the Tenant and those claiming under it, without being guilty of any manner of trespass, and without prejudice to any remedies which might otherwise be used for the event of default in question. In the case of any such termination, Tenant will indemnify the Landlord against all loss or damage suffered by reason of the termination, including loss of rentals which would have otherwise been payable hereunder for the balance of the Lease Term had such termination not occurred.

Section 4. In the event of default by Tenant pursuant to this Article XXII, Landlord may, with ten (10) days prior written notice and without terminating the Lease, re-enter and take possession of the Leased Premises, or any part thereof, and repossess the same as Landlord’s former estate, and expel Tenant and those claiming through or under Tenant, and remove the personal property and effects of either or both (forcibly, if necessary) without being deemed guilty of any manner trespass and without prejudice to any remedies for arrears of rent or preceding breach of covenants. Upon any such re-entry Landlord shall be entitled to sell the personal property and effects of the Tenant, or any of it, pursuant to the terms of this Lease. Should Landlord elect to re-enter as provided in this Article XXII, or should Landlord take possession pursuant to legal proceedings or any notice provided for by law, Landlord may, from time to time, without terminating this Lease, relet the Leased Premises, or any part thereof, on behalf of Tenant for such term or terms, and at such rent or rents, and upon such other terms and conditions as Landlord may deem advisable (which may include concessions and free rent) with the right to make alterations and repairs to the Leased Premises. No such re-entry or taking of possession of the Leased Premises by Landlord shall be construed as an election on Landlord’s part to terminate this Lease, unless a written notice of termination, specifically stating Landlord’s intention to terminate, be given to Tenant.

Section 5. In the event Landlord does not terminate this Lease, but on the contrary, elects to take possession, then such repossession shall not relieve Tenant of its obligations and liability under this Lease, all of which shall survive such repossession.

Section 6. No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Landlord is exclusive of any other right or remedy herein or by law or equity provided or permitted; but each shall be cumulative of every other right or remedy given hereunder. The rights and remedies provided hereof shall survive the termination of this Lease.

Section 7. Should Landlord be in default under the terms of this Lease, Landlord shall have reasonable and adequate time in which to cure the same after written notice to Landlord by Tenant.

Section 8. In the event that Landlord commences summary proceedings in the nature of a forcible entry and detainer or unlawful detention for nonpayment of Minimum Rent, Percentage Rent, Additional Rent, or for Tenant’s failure to perform its other obligations hereunder, Tenant agrees not to file a counterclaim against Landlord in the summary proceedings, not to consolidate claims against Landlord in said proceedings; however, Tenant does not waive its right hereunder to bring any later action against Landlord for damages. The commencement of such proceedings (including but not limited to the delivery of notice and process thereof) regardless of whether such proceedings are actually commenced, shall not be deemed to terminate this Lease, If Tenant should contest such summary proceedings, it shall post a bond in favor of Landlord for the amount of rent due and for future damages upon termination of this Lease.

Section 9. If the amount in controversy in any dispute between Landlord and Tenant is $25,000 or less and possession of the Leased Premises is not an issue, the parties agree to submit the dispute to the Judicial Arbiter Group for binding arbitration in accordance with its arbitration rules. If litigation is commenced between the parties when the matter is subject to this Section, then upon motion of either party, the litigation shall be stayed and the dispute submitted to arbitration. If the amount in controversy is alleged to exceed $25,000 and the court in which the litigation is commenced determines that the amount in controversy has been stated to exceed $25,000 to avoid arbitration, the court, on its own motion or by motion of a party, shall have the right to stay the litigation and require that the dispute be submitted to arbitration pursuant to this Section.

ARTICLE XXIII

LATE RENT PAYMENT

Section 1. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary hereof, all payments of Minimum Rent, Percentage Rent, Additional Rent and all other pecuniary obligations of Tenant to Landlord, all of which are payable on demand if not otherwise required due on the first of each month, shall bear interest at the rate of twenty percent (20%) per annum from the date due until paid. Tenant acknowledges that late payments by Tenant to Landlord of such rent and other charges will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of such costs being extremely difficult and impracticable to fix. Therefore, if any installment of rent due from Tenant is not received by Landlord within five (5) days from when due, Tenant shall pay to Landlord an additional sum of One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) as a late charge. The parties agree that this late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs that Landlord with incur by reason of late payment by Tenant. Additionally, Tenant shall pay a Twenty-Five Dollar ($25.00) charge for any checks written to Landlord which are returned due to insufficient funds.
