     Additional Rent and other sums due under this Lease will cause Landlord to
     incur additional costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of

     additional costs include processing and accounting charges and late charges
     which may be imposed upon Landlord by the terms of any mortgage or deed of
     trust covering the Premises. Therefore, if any installment of Basic Rent,
     Additional Rent or any other sum due from Tenant shall not be received by
     Landlord within five (5) days after written notice from Landlord of
     non-receipt, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late charge equal to six
     percent (6%) of the overdue amount. The parties hereby acknowledge, warrant

     estimate of the costs Landlord will incur by reason of late payment by
     Tenant. Acceptance of such late charge by Landlord shall in no event
     constitute a waiver of a Default with respect to such overdue amount or
     prevent Landlord from exercising any or all of the other rights and
     remedies granted under this Lease. Landlord may, as a matter of
     convenience, provide to Tenant from time to time billings or invoices for
     Rent or other sums due under this Lease, but Tenant&#146;s failure to receive
