Page 4 of 7


 

     A. Lessor may reenter the demised premises immediately and remove the property and personnel of lessee, store the property in a public warehouse or at a place selected by lessor, at the expense of lessee.
     B. After reentry, lessor may terminate this lease agreement on giving five days’ written notice of termination to lessee. Without such notice, reentry will not terminate this lease agreement. On termination, lessor may recover from lessee all damages proximately resulting from the breach, including, but not limited to, the cost of recovering the demised premises and the balance of the rent payments remaining due and unpaid under this lease agreement.
     C. After reentering, lessor may relet the demised premises or any part of the demised premises for any term without terminating this lease agreement, at such rent and on such terms as it may choose. Lessor may make alterations and repairs to the demised premises. The duties and liabilities of the parties if the demised premises are relet shall be as follows:
     (1) In addition to lessee’s liability to lessor for breach of this lease agreement, lessee shall be liable for all expenses of the reletting, for the alterations and repairs made, and for the difference between the rent received by lessor under the new lease agreement and the rent installments that were due for the same period under this lease agreement.
     (2) Lessor, at its option, shall have the right to apply the rent received from reletting the premises (a) to reduce lessee’s indebtedness to lessor under this lease agreement, not including indebtedness for rent, (b) to expenses of the reletting and alterations and repairs made, (c) to rent due under this lease agreement, or (d) to payment of future rent under this lease agreement as it becomes due.
     If the new lessee does not pay a rent installment promptly to lessor, and the rent installment has been credited in advance of payment to the indebtedness of lessee other than rent, or if rentals from the new lessee have been otherwise applied by lessor as provided for in this section, and during any rent installment period, are less than the rent payable for the corresponding installment period under this lease agreement, lessee shall pay lessor the deficiency, separately for each rent installment deficiency period, and before the end of that period. Lessor may, at any time after such reletting, terminate this lease agreement for the breach on which lessor based the reentry and relet the demised premises.
     After reentry, lessor may procure the appointment of a receiver to take possession and collect rents and profits of the business of lessee. If necessary to collect the rents and profits, the receiver may carry on the business of lessee and take possession of the personal property used in the business of lessee, including inventory, trade fixtures, and furnishings and use them in the business without compensating lessee. Proceedings for appointment of a receiver by lessor, or the appointment of a receiver and the conduct of the business of lessee by the receiver, shall not terminate this lease agreement unless lessor has given written notice of termination to lessee as provided in this lease agreement.
SECTION TWENTY
ATTORNEY FEES
     If lessor files an action to enforce any agreement contained in this lease agreement, or for breach of any covenant or condition, lessee shall pay lessor reasonable attorney fees for the services of lessor’s attorney in the action, all fees to be fixed by the court.
SECTION TWENTY-ONE
CONDEMNATION
     Eminent domain proceedings resulting in the condemnation of a part of the demised premises, but leaving the remaining premises usable by lessee for the purposes of its business, will not terminate this

lease agreement unless lessor, at its option, terminates this lease agreement by giving written notice of termination to lessee. The effect of any condemnation, where the option to terminate is not exercised, will be to terminate this lease agreement as to the portion of the demised premises condemned, and the lease of the remainder of the demised premises shall remain intact. The rental for the remainder of the lease term shall be reduced by the amount that the usefulness of the demised premises has been reduced for the business purposes of lessee. Lessee assigns and transfers to lessor any claim it may have to compensation for damages as a result of any condemnation.
SECTION TWENTY-TWO
OPTION TO RENEW
     Lessor grants to lessee an option to renew this lease agreement for one year at a rental of an amount to be decided upon renewal per month, with all other terms and conditions of the renewal lease to be the same as those in this lease agreement. To exercise this option to renew, lessee must give lessor written notice of intention to do so at least thirty days before this lease agreement expires.
