charges, and late charges which may be imposed on Lessor by the
terms of any mortgage or trust deed covering the Premises.

represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs Lessor
will incur by reason of late payment by Lessee. Acceptance of
such late charge by Lessor shall in no event constitute a waiver
of

granted hereunder.
