agreed that no waiver at any time of any of the provisions hereof by Landlord, shall be construed
as a waiver of any of the other provisions hereof and that a waiver at any time of any of the
provisions hereof shall not be construed as a waiver at any subsequent time of the same
provisions. The consent or approval of the Landlord to or of any action by Tenant requiring
Landlord's consent or approval shall not be deemed to waive or render unnecessary Landlord's
consent or approval to or of any subsequent similar act by Tenant.
No payment by Tenant, or acceptance by Landlord, of a lesser amount than shall be due
from Tenant to Landlord, even after demand by Landlord for rent pursuant to Tenant's rent
default shall be treated otherwise than a payment on account. The acceptance by Landlord of a
check for a lesser amount with an endorsement or statement thereon, or upon any letter
accompanying such check, that said lesser amount is payment in full shall be given no effect, and
Landlord may accept such check without prejudice to any further rights or remedies which
Landlord may have against Tenant. Further, failure of the Landlord to bill timely for taxes or
other additional rent as heretofore required shall not be deemed a waiver of Tenant's liability to
pay same.
