(e) That, if for any reason, apart from any delay of the Second Party in performing the covenants herein, the painting of said advertisement by the First Party shall not be completed on February 1, 1923, then, and in such event, the beginning of the term of this agreement shall be fixed as of the date of the completion of the painting of said advertisement by the First Party, and it shall continue thenceforth until the expiration of the term as above set forth.

(d) That the Second Party shall not make any alteration, or change, in any advertisement painted upon said sign-board, without first obtaining the written consent of the First Party.

And the Second Party expressly agrees that any such action shall neither bar, nor prejudice, in any way, the right of the First Party to enforce, by like, or other, action, or proceedings, the collection of the amount due at the end of any future month.
