payment of damages and Tenant adequately remedies the breach within 21 days or such longer period of time as Landlord may allow, the Lease shall not terminate. On the other hand, if the breach is not remedial, Landlord's written notice to Tenant may state the acts and omissions constituting the breach and state that the lease will terminate upon a specific date, which date may not be less than 30 days after Tenant receives the notice. 23. BREACH BY LANDLORD. If Landlord (a) commits a material breach of this Lease, or (b) fails to a substantial extent to comply with any laws with which Landlord must comply and which materially affect Tenant's health and safety, Tenant may give written notice to Landlord identifying the acts and conditions on the Premises concerning Landlord's breach and stating that this lease will terminate upon a specific date (which must be 30 days or more from the date Landlord receives the notice) unless Landlord remedies the breach within 21 days. If Landlord remedies the breach within that 21 day period, this Lease will not be subject to termination by Tenant in that instance. Tenant will not have the right to terminate this Lease because of conditions caused by the intentional or negligent acts of Tenant or persons on the Premises with Tenant's consent. 24. RENT WITHHOLDING. Tenant may not withhold rent because of conditions on the Premises which Landlord is required to repair unless Tenant has given Landlord written notice of the condition and landlord has failed to successfully repair the condition within a reasonable period of time. If Tenant withholds rent because Landlord has breached the Lease, Tenant must immediately give Landlord a second written notice of the breach and of any conditions of the Premises which Landlord is required to remedy or repair and must state that rent is being withheld for such reasons. If Landlord then sues Tenant for possession of the Premises or for withheld rent, Tenant must promptly pay the rent to the court, which will hold the rent until it decides what portion, if any, should be paid to Landlord. If conditions exist which Landlord is required to remedy and which creates a fire hazard or serious threat to the health or safety of • Tenant, Tenant may file an action in a court of competent jurisdiction to terminate the Lease, to require Landlord to repair the Premises, or to obtain other relief. In such an action, Tenant may pay rent to the court to be held until Tenant's action is decided. If Tenant withholds rent or pays rent into court under this section and the court finds (a) that Tenant has acted in bad faith, (b) that Tenant, Tenant's family or guests have caused the conditions or have refused unreasonably to allow Landlord or Landlord's written notice of the condition, Tenant will be liable for Landlord's reasonable costs, including costs for time spent court costs, any repair costs due to Tenant's violation of the Lease, and attorneys fees. 25.

O. Box 911, Charlottesville, Virginia 22902, and to Tenant at such party's address as set forth above or at such other address as a party may designate from time to time. 26. HEADINGS.
