DEFAULT AND TERMINATION The standards and procedures for declarations of Default(s) under this Lease and termination of Lessee's possessory rights under this Lease and/or of the Lease itself shall be as follows: A. Incidents of Default by Lessee. The following acts or omissions by Lessee are agreed to be Incidents of Default: 1. Failure to make full and timely payments of rent, additional rent or other fees or charges due and payable hereunder; or 2. The creation, maintenance, failure to correct or sufferance of a dangerous or hazardous condition on or emanating from the Premises; or 3. Failure to obtain, maintain in full force and effect and/or provide proof of all required types, forms and amounts of insurance; or 4. Failure to provide and maintain current and required performance and payment surety and proof thereof; or 5. Making an assignment, conveyance or transfer of its rights and obligations hereunder without the consent of County; or 6. Making or becoming subject to a voluntary or involuntary petition for receivership or bankruptcy, declaration of insolvency or assignment for the benefit of creditors; or 7. Failure to comply with any other obligation under this Lease and Use Agreement. -24- B. Notice of Default. Upon the occurrence of an Incident of Default by Lessee hereunder, Lessor shall issue a written Notice of Default to Lessee (and its surety, if applicable), which Notice shall specify the Incident(s) of Default asserted and a cure(s) therefor acceptable to Lessor. C. Lessee's Right to Cure. Lessee shall have the right to cure an Incident of Default, unless Lessee has abandoned the Premises, in which case Lessee shall be deemed to have waived any right to cure. As a condition precedent to this right to cure, Lessee must provide Notice, promptly after the effective date of the Notice of Default, to Lessor of Lessee's intention to cure and whether it agrees with the County' proposed cure or has a counterproposal. The time periods for cure, after the effective date of any Notice of Default, shall be: 1. Within three (3) business days if the default is maintenance of a hazardous condition or failure to maintain and/or prove required insurance coverage(s); or 2. Within ten (10) calendar days if the default is failure to make full and timely payments hereunder; or 3. Within twenty (20) calendar days if the default is in the performance of any other obligation or conditions to be performed under the provisions of this Agreement. If, in the discretion of Lessor, a cure acceptable to Lessor is promptly undertaken and diligently prosecuted by Lessee and the cure required cannot reasonably be completed within the foregoing time periods, Lessor may, upon timely request and proof of such mitigating circumstances by the Lessee, extend the period to cure by a reasonable time. In the event of multiple Incidents of Default, the cure periods above shall be concurrent, not consecutive. -25- D. Lessor's Right to Cure. If Lessee should fail to cure any default hereunder within the time,herein permitted, or if a dangerous or emergency situation exists at any time, Lessor, without being under any obligation to do so and without thereby waiving such default, may make such payment and/or remedy such other default for the account of Lessee (and enter the Premises for such purpose), and thereupon Lessee shall be obligated, and hereby agrees, to pay as Additional Rent, all reasonable costs, expenses and disbursements (including reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred by Lessor in taking such remedial action. Such action taken by Lessor may include commencing, appearing in, defending, or otherwise participating in any action or proceedings, and paying, purchasing, contesting, or compromising any claim, right, encumbrance, charge or lien with respect to the Premises. E. Lessor's Rights Upon an Uncured Default. If the Premises have been abandoned by Lessee or if an Incident(s) of Default noticed as provided herein remains uncured after the cure period specified or extended, Lessor, at its option and in its sole discretion, may there- after either terminate Lessee's possessory rights under this Lease or terminate the Lease itself and all of Lessee's rights hereunder or both in sequence, by Notice to the Lessee. F. Termination of Lessee's Possessory Rights. If Lessor gives Notice of Termination of Lessee's Possessory Rights, the following substantive and procedural elements shall apply: 1. Lessor shall re -take possession. Lessee shall immediately and peacefully surrender the Premises to the Lessor and, if Lessee fails to do so, Lessor, without prejudice to any other remedy which Lessor may have for possession, damages, or arrearages in rental, may enter upon and take possession of the Premises through -26- legal process or, if no individual person is then actually on or about the Premises and breach of the peach can be avoided, without use of legal process. Thereafter Lessor may possess, hold and use the Premises and may alter all locks and other security devices thereon. Unless Lessor so elects as provided no such termination of Lessee's possessory rights shall cause a termination of this Lease or otherwise relieve Lessee's liability and obligations under this Lease, and such liability and obligations shall survive any such termination of possessory rights. 2. In the event of any such termination of Lessee's possessory rights, Lessee shall continue to pay to the Lessor all monthly payments of all Base Rent and any Additional Rent required to be paid by Lessee to Lessor during the remainder of the Term until the date of expiration of the Term, adjusted as follows: a) Plus all such amounts accrued prior to repossession; b) Plus expenses of Lessor arising from repossession; c) Minus amounts received by Lessor through re -letting. In no event shall Lessee be entitled to any excess of any rental obtained by reletting over and above the rental herein reserved. Actions to collect amounts due by Lessee to Lessor as provided in this Section may be brought from time to time, on one or more occasions, without the necessity of Lessor's waiting until the expiration of the Term. -27- d) Lessor may sub -let or re -let. At any time after such re -taking of possession by Lessor, Lessor may sublet or relet the Premises or any part thereof, in the name of the Lessee or otherwise for such term (which may be greater or less than the balance of the term of this Lease) and on such conditions as the Lessor, in Lessor's absolute discretion, may determine, and may collect and receive the rents therefor. 1) In the event that Lessor shall have taken possession of the Premises pursuant to the authority herein granted, then Lessor shall have the right to keep in place and use all of the trade fixtures, leasehold improvements, furnishings and equipment of the Premises, including that which is owned by or leased to Lessee, at all times prior to any foreclosure thereon by Lessor or repossession thereof by a lessor thereof or third party having a lien thereon. 2) Lessor also shall have the right to remove from the Premises (without the necessity of obtaining a writ, warrant, bond or other legal process) all or any portion of such trade fixtures, leasehold improvements, furnishings, equipment and other property located thereon and place same in storage at any premises within the County in which the Premises are located, and in such event, Lessee shall be liable to Lessor for reasonable costs incurred by Lessor in connection with such removal and storage and shall indemnify and hold Lessor harmless from all loss, damage, cost, expense an liability in connection with such removal and storage. -28- 3) Lessor also shall have the right to relinquish possession of all or any portion of such property to any person ("Claimant") claiming to be entitled to possession thereof who present to Lessor a copy of any instruments represented to Lessor by Claimant to have been executed by Lessee (or any predecessor of Lessee) granting Claimant the right under various circumstances to take possession of such property, without the necessity on the part of Lessor to inquire into the authenticity of said instrument's copy of Lessee's or Lessee's predecessor's signature thereon and without the necessity of Lessor's making any nature of investigation or inquiry as to the validity of the factual or legal basis upon which Claimant purports to act; and Lessee agrees to release Lessor from any liability and to indemnify and hold Lessor harmless from all cost, expense, loss, damage and liability incident to Lessee's relinquishment of possession of all or any portion of such furniture, fixtures, equipment or other property to Claimant. 3. The rights of Lessor herein stated shall be in addition to any and all other rights which are created elsewhere in this Lease or which Lessor has or may hereafter have at law or in equity; and Lessee stipulates and agrees that the rights herein granted Lessor are commercially reasonable. G. Termination of the Lease. If Lessor gives Notice of Termination of the Lease, the following substantive and procedural elements shall apply: -29- 1. Lessor may elect to terminate this Lease by Notice of Termination of the Lease to Lessee either: immediately after an uncured default; or at any time following the termination of Lessee's possessory rights. 2. Upon such Lease termination (or in the event a court shall otherwise construe this Lease as terminated following Lessee's loss of its possessory rights hereunder), Lessor shall have and exercise all rights of ownership of the Premises, and Lessee shall pay to the Lessor in one lump sum the sum of all Base Rent and Additional Rental and other indebtedness to Lessor accrued to date of such termination, plus, as and for liquidated damages for Lessee's default, an amount equal to the present value of the total Base Rent that would have become due during the remainder of the Term but for termination of this Lease, less any amounts actually received or due to Lessor as a result of re -letting and the amount of rental loss for the same period that Lessee proves could have been avoided through the exercise of such mitigation efforts as are legally required of Lessor. If such sum is not paid to Lessor on the termination date said sum shall bear interest at the Default Rate until paid. For purposes of this section, "present value" shall be computed by discounting the amount in question to present worth at a discount rate equal to one percentage point above the discount rate then in effect at any commercial bank then with an office in Pitkin County. H. Not a Surrender. Exercise by Lessor of any one or more remedies herein granted or otherwise available shall not be deemed to be an acceptance of surrender of the Premises by Lessor, whether by agreement or by operation of law, it being understood that such surrender can be effected only by the written agreement of Lessee and Lessor. No alteration of locks or -30- other security devices and no removal or other exercise of dominion by Lessor over the property of Lessee, or others at the Premises shall be deemed unauthorized or constitute a conversion or a Lease termination. Lessee hereby consents, after any Event of Default, to the aforesaid exercise of dominion over Lessee's property within the Premises. All claims for damages by reason of such re-entry and/or repossession and/or alteration of locks or other security devices are hereby waived, as are all claims for damages by reason of any distress warrant, forcible detainer proceedings, sequestration proceedings or other legal process. I. Property Left on Premises. Any property of Lessee, or of anyone claiming under, by, or through Lessee, which is left on the Premises more than fifteen days after expiration of the Term or termination of possessory rights shall be conclusively deemed abandoned, and Lessor may keep, use, remove, store, sell, destroy, discard, or otherwise deal with it in Lessor's absolute discretion without liability of any sort to Lessee or anyone claiming under, by, or through Lessee. J. Costs of Default. In case of any Event of Default, Lessee shall also be liable for and shall pay to Lessor, in addition to any sum provided to be paid above, all costs, expenses and fees associated with providing Notice of the Default and enforcing Lessor's rights hereunder including, without limitation, the following: the reasonable costs or removing and storing or otherwise disposing of Lessee's or other occupant's property; the reasonable costs of cleaning, repairing, altering, remodeling or otherwise putting the Premises into condition acceptable to a new Lessee or Lessees; advertising costs; all reasonable expenses incurred by Lessor in enforcing or defending Lessor's rights and/or remedies, including reasonable attorneys' fees; and a sum equal to $75 for each hour that any employee or agent of Lessor, -31- spends in connection with obtaining the right to relet, rendering suitable for reletting, and attempting to relet the Premises or any part thereof. K. Lessor's Duty to Relet. In the event of termination of possessory rights or repossession of the Premises for an Event of Default, Lessor shall not have any greater obligation to relet or attempt to relet the Premises, or any portion thereof, or to collect rental on the Premises after reletting than is required by applicable law with respect to mitigation of damages; and in the event of reletting, Lessor may relet the whole or any portion of the Premises for any period, to any Lessee, and for any use and purpose. L. Default by Lessor; Lessee's Remedies. In the event of any default by Lessee, Lessee's exclusive remedy shall be an action for damages, but prior to any such action Lessee will give Lessee written notice specifying such default with particularity, and Lessee shall thereupon have 20 days (or such longer period as may be necessary in the circumstances) in which to cure any such default. Unless and until Lessee fails so to cure any default under such notice, Lessee shall not have any remedy or cause of action by reason thereof. All obligations of Lessee hereunder will be construed as covenants, not conditions; and all such obligations will be binding upon Lessee only during the period of its ownership of the Building and not thereafter. M. Remedies Not Exclusive. The aggrieved party shall have such other and further legal and equitable rights and remedies as may be provided by law, including damages. -32- 23. NOTICES.

C. Lessee's Right to Cure. Lessee shall have the right to cure an Incident of Default, unless Lessee has abandoned the Premises, in which case Lessee shall be deemed to have waived any right to cure. As a condition precedent to this right to cure, Lessee must provide Notice, promptly after the effective date of the Notice of Default, to Lessor of Lessee's intention to cure and whether it agrees with the County' proposed cure or has a counterproposal.

G. Termination of the Lease. If Lessor gives Notice of Termination of the Lease, the following substantive and procedural elements shall apply: -29- 1. Lessor may elect to terminate this Lease by Notice of Termination of the Lease to Lessee either: immediately after an uncured default; or at any time following the termination of Lessee's possessory rights. 2. Upon such Lease termination (or in the event a court shall otherwise construe this Lease as terminated following Lessee's loss of its possessory rights hereunder), Lessor shall have and exercise all rights of ownership of the Premises, and Lessee shall pay to the Lessor in one lump sum the sum of all Base Rent and Additional Rental and other indebtedness to Lessor accrued to date of such termination, plus, as and for liquidated damages for Lessee's default, an amount equal to the present value of the total Base Rent that would have become due during the remainder of the Term but for termination of this Lease, less any amounts actually received or due to Lessor as a result of re -letting and the amount of rental loss for the same period that Lessee proves could have been avoided through the exercise of such mitigation efforts as are legally required of Lessor. If such sum is not paid to Lessor on the termination date said sum shall bear interest at the Default Rate until paid.

H. Not a Surrender. Exercise by Lessor of any one or more remedies herein granted or otherwise available shall not be deemed to be an acceptance of surrender of the Premises by Lessor, whether by agreement or by operation of law, it being understood that such surrender can be effected only by the written agreement of Lessee and Lessor. No alteration of locks or -30- other security devices and no removal or other exercise of dominion by Lessor over the property of Lessee, or others at the Premises shall be deemed unauthorized or constitute a conversion or a Lease termination.

All claims for damages by reason of such re-entry and/or repossession and/or alteration of locks or other security devices are hereby waived, as are all claims for damages by reason of any distress warrant, forcible detainer proceedings, sequestration proceedings or other legal process. I. Property Left on Premises. Any property of Lessee, or of anyone claiming under, by, or through Lessee, which is left on the Premises more than fifteen days after expiration of the Term or termination of possessory rights shall be conclusively deemed abandoned, and Lessor may keep, use, remove, store, sell, destroy, discard, or otherwise deal with it in Lessor's absolute discretion without liability of any sort to Lessee or anyone claiming under, by, or through Lessee. J. Costs of Default. In case of any Event of Default, Lessee shall also be liable for and shall pay to Lessor, in addition to any sum provided to be paid above, all costs, expenses and fees associated with providing Notice of the Default and enforcing Lessor's rights hereunder including, without limitation, the following: the reasonable costs or removing and storing or otherwise disposing of Lessee's or other occupant's property; the reasonable costs of cleaning, repairing, altering, remodeling or otherwise putting the Premises into condition acceptable to a new Lessee or Lessees; advertising costs; all reasonable expenses incurred by Lessor in enforcing or defending Lessor's rights and/or remedies, including reasonable attorneys' fees; and a sum equal to $75 for each hour that any employee or agent of Lessor, -31- spends in connection with obtaining the right to relet, rendering suitable for reletting, and attempting to relet the Premises or any part thereof. K. Lessor's Duty to Relet.

L. Default by Lessor; Lessee's Remedies. In the event of any default by Lessee, Lessee's exclusive remedy shall be an action for damages, but prior to any such action Lessee will give Lessee written notice specifying such default with particularity, and Lessee shall thereupon have 20 days (or such longer period as may be necessary in the circumstances) in which to cure any such default. Unless and until Lessee fails so to cure any default under such notice, Lessee shall not have any remedy or cause of action by reason thereof. All obligations of Lessee hereunder will be construed as covenants, not conditions; and all such obligations will be binding upon Lessee only during the period of its ownership of the Building and not thereafter.

Failure to provide and maintain current and required performance and payment surety and proof thereof; or 5.

Failure to comply with any other obligation under this Lease and Use Agreement. -24- B. Notice of Default. Upon the occurrence of an Incident of Default by Lessee hereunder, Lessor shall issue a written Notice of Default to Lessee (and its surety, if applicable), which Notice shall specify the Incident(s) of Default asserted and a cure(s) therefor acceptable to Lessor. C. Lessee's Right to Cure. Lessee shall have the right to cure an Incident of Default, unless Lessee has abandoned the Premises, in which case Lessee shall be deemed to have waived any right to cure. As a condition precedent to this right to cure, Lessee must provide Notice, promptly after the effective date of the Notice of Default, to Lessor of Lessee's intention to cure and whether it agrees with the County' proposed cure or has a counterproposal. The time periods for cure, after the effective date of any Notice of Default, shall be: 1. Within three (3) business days if the default is maintenance of a hazardous condition or failure to maintain and/or prove required insurance coverage(s); or 2. Within ten (10) calendar days if the default is failure to make full and timely payments hereunder; or 3. Within twenty (20) calendar days if the default is in the performance of any other obligation or conditions to be performed under the provisions of this Agreement. If, in the discretion of Lessor, a cure acceptable to Lessor is promptly undertaken and diligently prosecuted by Lessee and the cure required cannot reasonably be completed within the foregoing time periods, Lessor may, upon timely request and proof of such mitigating circumstances by the Lessee, extend the period to cure by a reasonable time. In the event of multiple Incidents of Default, the cure periods above shall be concurrent, not consecutive. -25- D. Lessor's Right to Cure. If Lessee should fail to cure any default hereunder within the time herein permitted, or if a dangerous or emergency situation exists at any time, Lessor, without being under any obligation to do so and without thereby waiving such default, may make such payment and/or remedy such other default for the account of Lessee (and enter the Premises for such purpose), and thereupon Lessee shall be obligated, and hereby agrees, to pay as Additional Rent, all reasonable costs, expenses and disbursements (including reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred by Lessor in taking such remedial action. Such action taken by Lessor may include commencing, appearing in, defending, or otherwise participating in any action or proceedings, and paying, purchasing, contesting, or compromising any claim, right, encumbrance, charge or lien with respect to the Premises. E. Lessor's Rights Upon an Uncured Default. If the Premises have been abandoned by Lessee or if an Incident(s) of Default noticed as provided herein remains uncured after the cure period specified or extended, Lessor, at its option and in its sole discretion, may there- after either terminate Lessee's possessory rights under this Lease or terminate the Lease itself and all of Lessee's rights hereunder or both in sequence, by Notice to the Lessee. F: Termination of Lessee's Possessory Rights. If Lessor gives Notice of Termination of Lessee's Possessory Rights, the following substantive and procedural elements shall apply: 1. Lessor shall re -take possession. Lessee shall immediately and peacefully surrender the Premises to the Lessor and, if Lessee fails to do so, Lessor, without prejudice to any other remedy which Lessor may have for possession, damages, or arrearages in rental, may enter upon and take possession of the Premises through -26- legal process or, if no individual person is then actually on or about the Premises and breach of the peach can be avoided, without use of legal process. Thereafter Lessor may possess, hold and use the Premises and may alter all locks and other security devices thereon. Unless Lessor so elects as provided no such termination of Lessee's possessory rights shall cause a termination of this Lease or otherwise relieve Lessee's liability and obligations under this Lease, and such liability and obligations shall survive any such termination of possessory rights. 2. In the event of any such termination of Lessee's possessory rights, Lessee shall continue to pay to the Lessor all monthly payments of all Base Rent and any Additional Rent required to be paid by Lessee to Lessor during the remainder of the Term until the date of expiration of the Term, adjusted as follows: a) Plus all such amounts accrued prior to repossession; b) Plus expenses of Lessor arising from repossession; c) Minus amounts received by Lessor through re -letting. In no event shall Lessee be entitled to any excess of any rental obtained by reletting over and above the rental herein reserved. Actions to collect amounts due by Lessee to Lessor as provided in this Section may be brought from time to time, on one or more occasions, without the necessity of Lessor's waiting until the expiration of the Term. -27- d) Lessor may sub -let or re -let. At any time after such re -taking of possession by Lessor, Lessor may sublet or relet the Premises or any part thereof, in the name of the Lessee or otherwise for such term (which may be greater or less than the balance of the term of this Lease) and on such conditions as the Lessor, in Lessor's absolute discretion, may determine, and may collect and receive the rents therefor. 1) In the event that Lessor shall have taken possession of the Premises pursuant to the authority herein granted, then Lessor shall have the right to keep in place and use all of the trade fixtures, leasehold improvements, furnishings and equipment of the Premises, including that which is owned by or leased to Lessee, at all times prior to any foreclosure thereon by Lessor or repossession thereof by a lessor thereof or third party having a lien thereon. 2) Lessor also shall have the right to remove from the Premises (without the necessity of obtaining a writ, warrant, bond or other legal process) all or any portion of such trade fixtures, leasehold improvements, furnishings, equipment and other property located thereon and place same in storage at any premises within the County in which the Premises are located, and in such event, Lessee shall be liable to Lessor for reasonable costs incurred by Lessor in connection with such removal and storage and shall indemnify and hold Lessor harmless from all loss, damage, cost, expense an liability in connection with such removal and storage. -28- 3) Lessor also shall have the right to relinquish possession of all or any portion of such property to any person ("Claimant") claiming to be entitled to possession thereof who present to Lessor a copy of any instruments represented to Lessor by Claimant to have been executed by Lessee (or any predecessor of Lessee) granting Claimant the right under various circumstances to take possession of such property, without the necessity on the part of Lessor to inquire into the authenticity of said instrument's copy of Lessee's or Lessee's predecessor's signature thereon and without the necessity of Lessor's making any nature of investigation or inquiry as to the validity of the factual or legal basis upon which Claimant purports to act; and Lessee agrees to release Lessor from any liability and to indemnify and hold Lessor harmless from all cost, expense, loss, damage and liability incident to Lessee's relinquishment of possession of all or any portion of such furniture, fixtures, equipment or other property to Claimant. 3. The rights of Lessor herein stated shall be in addition to any and all other rights which are created elsewhere in this Lease or which Lessor has or may hereafter have at law or in equity; and Lessee stipulates and agrees that the rights herein granted Lessor are commercially reasonable. G. Termination of the Lease. If Lessor gives Notice of Termination of the Lease, the following substantive and procedural elements shall apply: -29- 1. Lessor may elect to terminate this Lease by Notice of Termination of the Lease to Lessee either: immediately after an uncured default; or at any time following the termination of Lessee's possessory rights. 2. Upon such Lease termination (or in the event a court shall otherwise construe this Lease as terminated following Lessee's loss of its possessory rights hereunder), Lessor shall have and exercise all rights of ownership of the Premises, and Lessee shall pay to the Lessor in one lump sum the sum of all Base Rent and Additional Rental and other indebtedness to Lessor accrued to date of such termination, plus, as and for liquidated damages for Lessee's default, an amount equal to the present value of the total Base Rent that would have become due during the remainder of the Term but for termination of this Lease, less any amounts actually received or due to Lessor as a result of re -letting and the amount of rental loss for the same period that Lessee proves could have been avoided through the exercise of such mitigation efforts as are legally required of Lessor. If such sum is not paid to Lessor on the termination date said sum shall bear interest at the Default Rate until paid. For purposes of this section, "present value" shall be computed by discounting the amount in question to present worth at a discount rate equal to one percentage point above the discount rate then in effect at any commercial bank then with an office in Pitkin County. H. Not a Surrender. Exercise by Lessor of any one or more remedies herein granted or otherwise available shall not be deemed to be an acceptance of surrender of the Premises by Lessor, whether by agreement or by operation of law, it being understood that such surrender can be effected only by the written agreement of Lessee and Lessor. No alteration of locks or -30- other security devices and no removal or other exercise of dominion by Lessor over the property of Lessee, or others at the Premises shall be deemed unauthorized or constitute a conversion or a Lease termination. Lessee hereby consents, after any Event of Default, to the aforesaid exercise of dominion over Lessee's property within the Premises. All claims for damages by reason of such re-entry and/or repossession and/or alteration of locks or other security devices are hereby waived, as are all claims for damages by reason of any distress warrant, forcible detainer proceedings, sequestration proceedings or other legal process. T. Property Left on Premises. Any property of Lessee, or of anyone claiming under, by, or through Lessee, which is left on the Premises more than fifteen days after expiration of the Term or termination of possessory rights shall be conclusively deemed abandoned, and Lessor may keep, use, remove, store, sell, destroy, discard, or otherwise deal with it in Lessor's absolute discretion without liability of any sort to Lessee or anyone claiming under, by, or through Lessee. J. Costs of Default. In case of any Event of Default, Lessee shall also be liable for and shall pay to Lessor, in addition to any sum provided to be paid above, all costs, expenses and fees associated with providing Notice of the Default and enforcing Lessor's rights hereunder including, without limitation, the following: the reasonable costs or removing and storing or otherwise disposing of Lessee's or other occupant's property; the reasonable costs of cleaning, repairing, altering, remodeling or otherwise putting the Premises into condition acceptable to a new Lessee or Lessees; advertising costs; all reasonable expenses incurred by Lessor in enforcing or defending Lessor's rights and/or remedies, including reasonable attorneys' fees; and a sum equal to $75 for each hour that any employee or agent of Lessor, -31- spends in connection with obtaining the right to relet, rendering suitable for reletting, and attempting to relet the Premises or any part thereof. K. Lessor's Duty to Relet. In the event of termination of possessory rights or repossession of the Premises for an Event of Default, Lessor shall not have any greater obligation to relet or attempt to relet the Premises, or any portion thereof, or to collect rental on the Premises after reletting than is required by applicable law with respect to mitigation of damages; and in the event of reletting, Lessor may relet the whole or any portion of the Premises for any period, to any Lessee, and for any use and purpose. L. Default by Lessor; Lessee's Remedies. In the event of any default by Lessee, Lessee's exclusive remedy shall be an action for damages, but prior to any such action Lessee will give Lessee written notice specifying such default with particularity, and Lessee shall thereupon have 20 days (or such longer period as may be necessary in the circumstances) in which to cure any such default. Unless and until Lessee fails so to cure any default under such notice, Lessee shall not have any remedy or cause of action by reason thereof. All obligations of Lessee hereunder will be construed as covenants, not conditions; and all such obligations will be binding upon Lessee only during the period of its ownership of the Building and not thereafter.
