<br />done or furnished in connection with the Leased Premises, or any part thereof. If any claim of
<br />lien is filed against the Leased Premises, or a stop notice is served on any third party in
<br />connection with the Leased Premises, then the Lessee shall, within twenty (20) days after such

<br />of mechanics' liens or other claims against the Leased Premises. The Lessor shall have the right
<br />at all reasonable times to post and keep posted on the Leased Premises any notices which the
<br />Lessor may deem necessary for the protection of the Lessor and of Lessor's interests in the
