Page 7 of 12

not relieve Lessee from paying any sum or sums due and payable to Lessor under this Agreement

payment of any such sum or sums or claim for damages by any remedy provided for by law, or

options, and remedies under this Agreement will be construed to be cumulative, and not one of
them is exclusive of the other. Lessor may pursue any or all such remedies or any other remedy

expressly understood and agreed that the deposit is not an advance rental deposit except to the
extent Lessor applies it as such after the notice required below, or a measure of Lessor's
damages in case of Lessee's default. The deposit shall not be considered liquidated damages, and

Lessee, as stipulated in this Lease agreement, Lessor may, from time to time, without prejudice
to any other remedy provided in this Lease or provided by law, after five days' prior written
notice to Lessee of Lessor's intent to do so, specifying the cause and the amount, use a portion of
that fund, to the extent necessary to make good any arrears of rent and any other damage, injury,
expense or liability caused by the event of default specified in such notice. If any portion of the
deposit is so used or applied, Lessee shall, within five days' written demand, deposit cash with
Lessor in an amount sufficient to restore the security deposit to its original amount, and Lessee's
failure to do so shall constitute a default of this lease. If Lessee is not then in default under this
Lease, any remaining balance of the deposit shall be returned by Lessor to Lessee on demand,
within 30 days after the termination of this lease agreement.
