7. Repair. The Lessee will keep the leased grounds free of all cans, bottles, fragments, debris and trash, and in good repair, and the Lessee will keep the downspouts, gutters and drains clean, open and free of obstruction, and in good working order.

However, this does not relieve lessor of liability if the building is defective because of lessor's actions.

Should the Lessee fail to make repairs agreed to under this Lease, the Lessor may enter the premises and make such repairs and collect the cost from the Lessee. Except as specifically provided in this Lease, the Lessee will not make or permit to be made any alterations, improvements, additions or changes in the premises, nor will the Lessee paint the outside of the building or permit the same to be painted without the written consent of the Lessor before work is contracted or let.

8. Fire and Other Casualty. In the event of the total destruction of, or partial damage to, the buildings upon the demised premises by fire or other casualty, Lessor shall proceed with due diligence and dispatch to repair and restore the buildings to the conditions to which they existed immediately prior to the occurrence of such casualty, at Lessor's cost and expense, provided such cost does not exceed the proceeds of insurance collected on the buildings, by reason of such casualty, the application of which insurance proceeds are not prohibited, by reason of any mortgage provision, from being used toward the cost of restoration and repairing the same.

If Lessor exercises the above right to terminate this Lease and Lessee elects to exercise an option of renewal privilege which Lessee may have under this Lease, which if exercised would extend the unexpired term beyond two (2) years, Lessee may void such notice above of Lessor's right to terminate this Lease by exercising such option renewal privilege within such 30-day period.

In the event the repairing and restoring of the buildings cannot be completed within four months after the date of occurrence of such casualty, as estimated by two or more reputable contractors, the Lessee shall have the right to terminate this Lease upon giving written notice to Lessor within 30 days from the date of occurrence of the casualty. From the date of such damage or destruction until the building has been substantially repaired or restored, an equitable abatement of rent shall be allowed the Lessee.

Any property stored in the demised premises shall be at the sole risk of Lessee.

Neither Lessor nor Lessee shall be liable to the other for any loss or damage from risks ordinarily insured against under fire insurance policies with extended coverage endorsements, irrespective of whether such loss or damage results from their negligence or that of any of their agents, servants, employees, licensees or contractors to the extent that such losses are covered by valid and collectable insurance on the property at the time of the loss.

9. Improvements and Fixtures. Lessee may at its own expense make such alterations, improvements, additions and changes to the premises, provided Lessee shall not, without the written consent of Lessor, tear down or materially demolish any of the improvements on the premises or make any material change or alteration in such improvements which, when completed, would substantially diminish the value of the premises. All shelving, trade fixtures, or other personal property of Lessee which it may have installed or placed at its own expense on the premises may at any time be removed by Lessee provided Lessee shall repair any damage to the premises caused by such removal.

10. Assignment and Subletting. Lessee agrees that it will not assign or sublet the leased premises in whole or in part without the written consent of Lessor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. But such assignment or subletting will in no event release Lessee from its responsibility under the terms of this Lease. See special stipulation number _________.

11. Lien. Lessor shall have a lien upon all Lessee's inventory, parts, equipment, fixtures and accounts receivable to secure payment of rental. Failure to consider the Lease forfeited for one failure or breach on the part of Lessee shall not be a waiver of Lessor's right to elect to reenter and forfeit, or rerent the premises for any subsequent breach, the right being a continuing one, excluding any trade or registration (R) trade name items that are the sole ownership of franchisor.

The Lessor shall have the right to annul and terminate this Lease should the levy of an execution or other legal process be brought upon the goods, furniture, effects or other property of the Lessee, or the filing of a petition in bankruptcy, a petition for an arraignment or reorganization by or against the Lessee, or the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or other court officer, for the assets of the Lessee, or the execution of an assignment for the benefit of creditors of the Lessee, or the vacating or abandonment by the Lessee of the leased premises, or the use of them for any purpose other than the purpose for which they are let.
