hereby leased, a monthly rental of ____________________ (P___________.00),
Philippine currency, payable in advance on or before the ____ day of each month,
without demand. It is understood that in case of default, the amount of rental then

the LESSEE as hereinafter set forth. LESSOR shall have the right to deduct the
penalty fee from the deposit upon the termination of this Agreement.

II. TERM OF LEASE

IV. DEPOSIT

Upon the execution of this Contract, the LESSEE shall deposit with the LESSOR the

This deposit shall be considered forfeited to the LESSOR in case the LESSEE vacates
the premises before the termination of the contract of lease or any extension or
renewal thereof, but without however, absolving the LESSEE from his responsibility

Contract be terminated by the LESSEE before the end of the term herein.
V. USE OF THE PREMISES

for illegal or immoral purposes. The LESSEE shall not use the premises for any other
purposes without the prior written consent of the LESSOR. The LESSEE shall not
bring into or store in the leased premises anything of a highly inflammable or
explosive nature, nor install therein any apparatus, machinery or equipment which
may cause obnoxious odors, tremors or noises, or which may expose the leased
premises to fire or increase the fire hazard of the building or change the insurance of
the building or any other article which the LESSOR may reasonably prohibit; it being
understood that should the LESSEE do so, not only shall the latter be responsible for
all damages which such violations may cause the LESSOR and/or other tenants but
the LESSOR shall, in addition thereto, have the right to cancel this Contract.

VI. STRICT APPLICATION OF THE RULES OF CONDUCT FOR THE SAFE AND
SANITARY USE OF BUILDING PREMISES

cost of other repairs and maintenance not exceeding one (1) month rent at any time
shall be for the account of the LESSEE. Repairs other than necessary exceeding one
month rent shall have prior approval of the LESSOR before any repair may be made
on the property. Sharing of costs in the latter case shall be agreed upon by the parties
concerned.

VIII. ALTERATIONS, ADDITIONS, INSTALLATION OF PERMANENT FIXTURE,


IMPROVEMENTS

The LESSEE shall not introduce any partition or division, improvement or alteration
in the premises without the prior notice to and written consent of the LESSOR. Any
partition or division introduced by the LESSEE with the consent of the LESSOR shall
be removed by the LESSEE at his expense upon the expiration of this Contract or in
the event that no renewal is made, and that any damage or injury caused within the
leased premises by such removal shall be repaired as to restore the premises to the
same condition they were before such division was installed. In no event shall the
cost of improvements introduced by the LESSEE be made to offset or be considered
in payment of the unpaid accounts of the LESSEE. The LESSEE may leave behind
provided LESSOR consents. In such event, the partitions become the property of the
LESSOR without any obligation on the part of the latter. The LESSEE shall not drive
nails, screws or any attachments to the main divisions and walls of the premises. In
the event that any attachment is made necessary, the same shall be allowed with the
prior consent of the LESSOR provided that the attachment shall not cause irreparable
damage to the premises. The installation of additional electric, telephone or other
utilities and/or facilities shall be with the prior knowledge and written consent of the
LESSOR and shall be for the account of the LESSEE, it being understood that the
leased premises had been provided with normal convenience to meet the minimum
requirements of an ordinary space user. Improvements, additions and installations
undertaken by the LESSEE on the leased premises without the consent of the
LESSOR, shall, upon the expiration of the terms of this contract or any extension or
renewal thereon, become the property of the LESSOR without any need for him to
reimburse LESSEE for the same.

rights under this agreement to anyone without the prior notice to, and written
consent of, the LESSOR.

cancellation or termination hereof, the LESSEE shall surrender the premises to the
LESSOR, peaceably together with all the keys appertaining thereto, devoid of all
occupants, furniture, articles and effects which are not subject to lien, clean and in
good condition as it was when first entered into by the LESSEE, other than those
occasioned by normal use and ordinary wear and tear. Any damage other than
ordinary wear and tear to the leased premises shall be restored, repaired and
mended by the LESSEE and at his expense, before the turnover of the premises to the
LESSOR. It is also understood that all bills to be paid by the LESSEE shall have been
paid and settled at the cut-off period and any unpaid bills existing shall be satisfied
from the deposit made by the LESSEE to the LESSOR. No termination shall be made
earlier than the agreed contract period. LESSEE’s failure to comply with this
provision authorizes the LESSOR to forfeit LESSEE’s deposit.

premises and the facilities offered existing in the building and has likewise fully read
and understood the contents of this Contract. In consideration of his satisfaction of
