constitute installations embedded into the Demised Premises and accordingly, as long as the
yearly rent is duly paid by the Lessee, neither the Initial Term nor any renewal terms of this
Lease Agreement shall be abridged nor shall the Lease Agreement and the leasehold rights
created pursuant thereto be terminated by the Lessor prior to the expiry of the Initial Term or any
renewal thereof. The Lessor hereby agrees to and affirms the right of the Lessee to seek both

mature termination of the leasehold rights. Such damage is in contemplation of the parties at the
time of signing this Lease Agreement. Payment of the aforesaid amount shall be a condition
precedent for any action on the part of the Lessor to terminate the Lease Agreement and resume
