On June 19,1991, Appellants contracted to lease the second floor of 21 N. Meramec from the Respondents. Both parties were repre*472sented by counsel. The lease would expire July 31, 1996. Appellants remained on the premises until September of 1997. All relevant lease terms are in Article VI Section C. Rent was due on the first of the month, and the lease provided that Appellants would be in default for failure to pay by the tenth day of the month. Appellants often failed to pay within 10 days of the first of the month, and the lease permitted Respondents to terminate the lease “after ten (10) days written notice and after said ten days...lessee will forthwith quit and surrender the leased premises....” This default provision provided that if Appellants failed to pay rent by the tenth of the month, Respondents could deliver written notice of termination and 10 days thereafter terminate the lease.
