the required insurance coverage to lapse or fall below the minimum
required;
c) Lessee otherwise breaches the terms of this Lease.

attorney in order to enforce its rights under this Agreement, the COUNTY shall be
entitled to reasonable attorney's fees. Waiver of a default in any particular month

subsequent default shall be grounds for termination. The COUNTY may in its

without prior notice, upon failure of LESSEE to comply with any provision of this
Agreement. LESSEE may terminate this Agreement upon giving thirty (30) days'
prior written notice to COUNTY.

covenant, condition, or agreement by it to be performed under this Lease and such W
failure shall continue for a period of ten (10) days after notice in writing specifying
the nature of such failure, or if LESSEE abandons the demised Premises, or if
LESSEE breaches any obligation under this Lease to be performed by it which

default and LESSOR, without further notice may at its option take possession of the
leased Premises, including all improvements and fixtures and equipment located at,
in or about the Premises.
By legal proceedings, LESSOR shall take, operate, or sublease the Premises,
in whole or in art for the account of the LESSEE as the LESSOR in good faith may

N
given by the LESSOR to the LESSEE, shall be paid over to the LESSEE at the
expiration of the full term of this Lease or on the sooner termination of the Lease
by written notice of termination.
Repossession or subleasing not a termination; LESSOR'S right to terminate
not forfeited: No repossession, operation, or subleasing of the Premises or of
fixtures and equipment shall be construed as an election by the LESSOR to
terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such intention is given by the
LESSOR to the LESSEE. Notwithstanding any such operation or subleasing without
termination of this Lease, the LESSOR may at any time after that elect to terminate
the Lease in the event that the LESSEE remains in default under this Lease.
LESSEE'S obligation to pay deficiencies: In the event the proceeds of rentals
received by the LESSOR under the provisions of this Section are insufficient to pay
all costs and expenses and all amounts due and becoming due under this Lease, the
LESSEE shall pay to the LESSOR on demand such deficiency as may occur or exist.
LESSOR'S right to terminate Lease: In the event of LESSEE'S default,
LESSOR may, at its option without further notice, terminate this Lease and all
interest of LESSEE under this Lease, and may then take possession of the leased
Premises by legal proceedings. --

termination the excess, if any, of the amount of rent reserved in this Lease for the
balance of the term of the Lease.
LESSOR'S remedies are cumulative: Each and all of the remedies given to
the LESSOR in this Lease or by law are cumulative, and the exercise of one right of
remedy shall not impair its right to exercise any other right or remedy.

omission that constitutes a default of an obligation under this Agreement does not W
waive another default of that or any other obligation.
14. ASSIGNMENT. The LESSEE may not assign this Agreement or assign or
subcontract any of its obligations under this Agreement without the approval of the
COUNTY's Board of County Commissioners. All the obligations of this Agreement
will extend to and bind the legal representatives, successors and assigns of the
