10.02.Termination for Cause. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, SUBLESSOR may terminate this Agreement at any time for cause.. Such termination shall be evidenced by written notice thereof to SUBLESSEE, which notice shall specify the cause for termination. For purposes hereof, the term “cause” shall include, without limitation, the failure to timely pay the rent required hereunder; dishonesty; theft; conviction of a crime; abuse of alcohol or drugs; unethical business conduct; or a material breach of this Agreement. The term “cause” shall also include the failure of SUBLESSEE for any reason, within ten (10) days after receipt by SUBLESSEE of written notice thereof from SUBLESSOR, to correct, cease or otherwise alter any inappropriate action towards SUBLESSOR’s employees, customers, suppliers or invitees, or other action or omission to act which SUBLESSOR believes does or may materially, adversely affect its business or operations.

  1. Expiration; Default. SUBLESSEE agrees that at the expiration of the term hereby created, or if default be made in the payment of rent after the same is due, or upon the breach of any of the covenants and agreements herein contained, SUBLESSOR or its agents shall have the right to enter and take possession of the Subleased Space, and SUBLESSEE agrees to deliver same without process of law, and if SUBLESSEE refuses to do so, then SUBLESSOR may reenter, take possession of the Subleased Space and remove all property therefrom (such property as may be removed may be stored in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost of, and for the account of SUBLESSEE, or it may be disposed of by SUBLESSOR as abandoned by SUBLESSEE, if SUBLESSEE does not claim and remove it within twenty (20) days after SUBLESSOR sends written notice of such possible disposition to SUBLESSEE at the Subleased Space); and in the event of default or breach, at SUBLESSOR’s option, this Agreement and SUBLESSEE’s right to possession shall terminate and be canceled, and SUBLESSOR may recover from SUBLESSEE all damages it may incur by reason of SUBLESSEE’s breach. To the extent permitted by applicable law, SUBLESSEE hereby waives any notice which may be required by statute or otherwise prior to the commencement of an action to obtain possession of the Subleased Space by summary proceedings or otherwise.

Additionally, SUBLESSEE further agrees to pay a late charge of $50 for any rent paid more than 7 days after its due date regardless of the cause, including slow mail or dishonored checks. Such late charge shall be considered additional rent for the purposes of this Lease. Furthermore, a service charge of $25.00 will be paid to SUBLESSOR for all dishonored checks. Acceptance of late fees or dishonored check fees shall not constitute a waiver of default or deprive SUBLESSOR of any right or action or other remedy it may have on account of any default by SUBLESSEE.

If, upon termination of this Agreement, whether by expiration or cancellation, SUBLESSEE shall fail, neglect or refuse to vacate or deliver possession of the premises to SUBLESSOR, then SUBLESSEE shall pay to SUBLESSOR, by way of liquidated damages, and not as a rent or penalty, two times the rental per day stipulated herein for each day that SUBLESSEE occupies any part of the Subleased Space after the day on which the Agreement is so terminated; but the provisions of this clause shall not operate as a waiver by SUBLESSOR of any right of reentry. In the event SUBLESSEE fails, neglects, or refuses to vacate or deliver possession of the Subleased Space to SUBLESSOR, all provisions of this Agreement shall remain in effect during such holdover time, excepting only those provisions of this Agreement dealing with the amount of rent owed SUBLESSOR by SUBLESSEE and those provisions dealing with the term of the tenancy granted herein. Rent during the holdover term shall be such rent as SUBLESSOR in their sole discretion determine, and may be changed as frequently as SUBLESSOR determine, and shall bear interest at the rate of fifteen percent (15%) per annum from the first day of each month until paid. Such rent shall be owing in addition to the liquidated damages specified above.

In any case, in the event SUBLESSOR pays or performs any obligation as to which SUBLESSEE is in default, then SUBLESSEE shall be indebted to SUBLESSOR for all amounts so paid or advanced and such indebtedness shall be paid to SUBLESSOR on demand. Provided however, SUBLESSOR’s right to pay or perform such obligations or SUBLESSOR’s payment or performance of such obligations shall not imply any duty on the part of SUBLESSOR to make such payment or performance, nor constitute a waiver of such default or deprive SUBLESSOR of any right of action or other remedy it may have on account of any such default by SUBLESSEE.

In the event of a default, all rights and remedies of SUBLESSOR under this Agreement shall be cumulative and none shall exclude any other rights or remedies allowed by law.

Notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary, SUBLESSEE shall not have the right to make any contracts or commitments for or on behalf of SUBLESSOR without first obtaining the written consent of SUBLESSOR.
