devoid of all occupants, equipment, furniture, articles, effects, and
merchandise of any kind subject to the succeeding paragraph of this section.
Should the LESSEE fail or be unable to comply with these provisions, the
LESSEE hereby expressly appoints the LESSOR as its duly authorized

reasonable expenses including storage fees incurred by the LESSOR in connection
therewith and the balance, if any, shall be given to the LESSEE. The LESSOR
shall not incur civil and/or criminal liabilities whatsoever by exercising its

such penalty shall be without prejudice to other remedies that the LESSOR may
have under this contract. The LESSEE shall furthermore hold the LESSOR free of
any liabilities in respect to any and all claims made by any succeeding tenant
or vendee of the premises leased.
SECTION 20 DISTURBANCE
Disturbance or discontinuance of the possession of the leased premises by
the LESSEE by reason or causes beyond the control of the LESSOR shall confer no
right of any kind to the LESSEE against the LESSOR.
SECTION 21 ABANDONMENT OF LEASED PREMISES
In case the leased premises shall be deserted or vacated before the

re-lease the same as the agent of the LESSEE to receive the rent therefore and
to apply the same to the payment of the rent due hereunder, holding the LESSEE
liable to any deficiency.
SECTION 22 NON-WAIVER
The failure of the LESSOR to insist on a strict performance of any of the
terms, conditions and covenants hereof shall not be deemed a relinquishment or
waiver of any right or remedy that said LESSOR may have, nor shall it be
construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach or default of the terms,
conditions and covenants which shall continue to be in full force and effect. No
waiver by the LESSOR of any of the rights under this contract shall be deemed to
have been made unless expressed in writing and signed by the LESSOR.
SECTION 23 BREACH OR DEFAULT
The LESSEE agrees that all the covenants and agreements herein contained
shall be deemed essential conditions hereof and that if default or breach be
made of any such conditions, after a grace period of thirty (30) days within

that the lease payments under this Contract of Lease shall be subject to VAT
then the monthly rental shall be adjusted accordingly.
