reasonable time, either party shall have the right to terminate this lease by
written notice to the other party. However, if such fire and other casualties

lease or pre-termination thereof, as herein provided, shall promptly deliver
the Leased Premises to the LESSOR in as good and tenantable condition
in all respect as the same now are, devoid of all other occupants, including
all furniture, articles and effects of any kind, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that
non-compliance on the part of the LESSEE with the terms of this clause
will give the LESSOR the right, at her option, to refuse to accept the
delivery of the said premises and to compel the LESSEE to pay monthly
rent at the same rate of rental as herein provided, plus 100% thereof as
penalty and liquidated damages every month, until the LESSEE shall have
complied with the terms hereof. This same penalty and liquidated
damages shall likewise be imposed upon the LESSEE in case he shall
refuse to leave the premises (under the terms of this clause) after this
Agreement has expired or is terminated or pre-terminated for any reason.

additional 0.5% per day of the amount of rent as penalty for late payment
until the rent has been fully paid. Late payment shall mean the LESSEE
failed to render payment on or before the period indicated in this contract.
16. Special Power of Attorney: The LESSEE hereby irrevocably appoints,
nominates and constitutes the LESSOR as his attorney-in-fact authorized
to enter, and if necessary, to break open, padlock and takeover
possession of the Leased Premises for purposes of inspection and/or
enforcement of any and all terms and conditions of this Agreement;
PROVIDED that, advance written notice is given to the LESSEE.
17. Acceleration Clause: If LESSEE breaches this lease or vacates the
premises prior to expiration, LESSOR may accelerate the term of this
lease and declare all rents for the remaining terms to be immediately due
and payable. Either party may have a Court determine the actual amount
owed, if any.
18. Termination and Pre-Termination: The LESSOR may immediately
terminate this Agreement if after FIVE DAYS (5) from written notice of
violation, the LESSEE still fails or refuses to completely or satisfactorily
address or remedy any delay, default, breach, non-payment of two
months rent, non-compliance, abandonment or violation of this
Agreement. The aforementioned notice is non-extendible. The LESSEE is
deemed in default or in a state of abandonment of the Leased Premises
when he/she refused or failed to pay any rental for two months in the
manner described above for any reason whatsoever.
However, if the violation of the LESSEE pertains to the conduct of illegal
or immoral businesses, transactions or activities within the vicinity of the
Leased Premises, LESSOR has the option not to give the LESSEE any
chance to be able to continue the lease even if the LESSEE ceased and
desisted from carrying on his immoral or illegal activity, transaction or
business.
After the lapse of the non-extendible 5-day period provided in this
agreement, and after the LESSORs intention to no longer continue the
lease is made apparent in a Notice of Termination sent to the LESSEE,
this Agreement is automatically cancelled or terminated except the
provision on Paragraph 14 of this agreement without any need of prior
judicial action or a court order.
In order to effect the unilateral and automatic cancellation or termination of
this Agreement, the LESSEE hereby gives the LESSOR or her
representatives and agents the irrevocable right to enter, takeover or
padlock the Leased Premises FIVE (5) days after the LESSEEs receipt of

remain liable to pay for any unpaid rentals, utilities and repairs on the
