machines which use 110 volt electrical power, or Tenant's use of any
service furnished by Landlord exceeds that deemed by Landlord to be
standard, then Tenant shall pay on demand such charges as Landlord

any utility service required by Tenant if such service is deemed by
Landlord to be in excess of Building standard usage, in which event
Tenant shall pay for all such utility service.
(d) Failure to any extent to make available; or any slow-down, stoppage or
interruption of; or any change in the quantity, character or
availability of; these defined services, resulting from any cause,
shall not render Landlord liable in any respect for damages to either
person, property or business, nor be construed as an eviction of

which may be carried by Landlord or Tenant against loss or damage to
the Building or to the Premises shall be for the sole benefit of the
party carrying such insurance and under its sole control.
17. HOLDING OVER. Should Tenant, or any of its successors in interest, hold

the Premises to Landlord, and if Tenant fails to do so, Landlord may,
without prejudice to any other remedy which it may have for
possession or arrearages in rent, enter upon and take possession of
the Premises and expel or remove Tenant and any other person who may
be occupying said Premises or any part thereof, by force if
necessary, without being liable for prosecution or any claim for
damages therefore; and Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord on demand the
amount of all loss and damage which Landlord may suffer by reason of
such termination, whether through inability to relet the Premises on
satisfactory terms or otherwise, including the loss of rental for the
remainder of the Lease Term.
(b) Enter upon and take possession of the Premises and expel or remove
tenant and any other person who may be occupying the Premises or any
part thereof, by force if necessary, without being liable for
prosecution or any claim for damages therefore, and if Landlord so

advisable and receive the rent therefore; and Tenant agrees to pay to
Landlord on demand any deficiency that may arise by reason of such
reletting for the remainder of the Lease Term.

Landlord may incur in thus effecting compliance with Tenant's
obligations under this lease, and Tenant further agrees that Landlord
shall not be liable for any damages resulting to the Tenant from such
action. No re-entry or taking possession of the Premises by Landlord
shall be construed as an election on its part to terminate this
lease, unless a written notice of such intention be given to Tenant.
Pursuit of any of the foregoing remedies shall not preclude pursuit
of any of the other remedies herein provided by law, nor shall
pursuit of any remedy herein provided constitute a forfeiture or
waiver of any rent due to Landlord hereunder or of any damages
accruing to landlord by reason of the violation of any of the terms,
provisions and covenants herein contained.

including the cost of recovering the Premises and the loss of rental
for the remainder of the Lease Term. Landlord agrees to use its best
efforts to mitigate its damages with respect to Tenant's default.
21. SURRENDER OF PREMISES. No act or thing done by Landlord or its agents
during the term hereby granted shall be deemed an acceptance of a
surrender of the Premises, and no agreement to accept a surrender of
the Premises shall be valid unless the same be made in writing and
signed by Landlord.
