the giving of such notice (or if such other default is of such nature that it
cannot be completely cured within such period, if Lessee does not commence such
curing within such 30 days and thereafter proceed with reasonable diligence and
in good faith to cure such default), then Lessor may terminate this lease on not
less than 30 days' notice to Lessee. On the date specified in such notice the
term of this lease shall terminate, and Lessee shall then quit and surrender the
premises to Lessor, but Lessee shall remain liable as hereinafter provided. If
this lease shall have been so terminated by Lessor, Lessor may at any time
thereafter resume possession of the premises by any lawful means and remove
Lessee or other occupants and their effects. No failure to enforce any term
shall be deemed a waiver.

signing of this lease the sum of 0 Dollars ($0) as security deposit for the
performance of Lessee's obligations under this lease, including without
limitation, the surrender of possession of the premises to Lessor as herein
