LANDLORDS REMEDIES
13.1 Remedies Generally. Upon the occurrence of any Default by Tenant, Landlord shall have the right, at Landlords election, then or at anytime thereafter, to exercise any one or more of the following remedies:
13.1.1 Cure by Landlord. In the event of a Default by Tenant, Landlord may, at Landlords option, but without obligation to do so, and without releasing Tenant from any obligations under this Lease, make any payment or take any action as Landlord may reasonably deem necessary or desirable to cure any such Default by Tenant in such manner and to such extent as Landlord may reasonably deem necessary or desirable. Landlord may do so without demand on, or written notice to, Tenant and without giving Tenant any opportunity to cure such Default by Tenant. Tenant covenants and agrees to pay to Landlord, within ten (10) days after demand, all advances, costs and expenses of Landlord in connection with, the making of any such payment or the taking of any such action, including reasonable attorneys fees, together with interest as hereinafter provided from the day of payment of any such reasonable advances, costs and expenses by Landlord. Action taken by Landlord may include commencing, appearing in, defending or otherwise participating in any action or proceedings and paying, purchasing, contesting or compromising any claim, right, encumbrance, charge or Hen with respect to the Demised Premises that is reasonably necessary or desirable to protect its interest in the Demised Premises and under this Lease.
13.1.2 Termination of Lease and Damages. In the event of a Default by Tenant, Landlord may terminate this Lease, effective at such time as may be specified by written notice to Tenant, and demand (and, if such demand is refused, recover) possession of the Demised Premises from Tenant. Tenant shall remain liable to Landlord for damages in an amount equal to the Basic Rent, Additional Rent and other sums that would have been owing by Tenant hereunder for the balance of the term, had this Lease not been terminated, less the net proceeds, if any, of reletting of the Demised Premises by Landlord subsequent to such termination, after deducting all Landlords reasonable expenses in connection with such recovery of possession or reletting. Landlord shall be entitled to collect and receive such damages from Tenant on the days on which the Basic Rent, Additional Rent and other amounts would have been payable if this Lease had not been terminated. Alternatively, at the option of Landlord, Landlord shall be entitled to recover forthwith from. Tenant, as damages for loss of the bargain and not as a penalty, an aggregate sum that, at the time of such termination of this Lease, represents the excess, if any, of (a) the aggregate of the Basic Rent, Additional Rent and all other sums payable by Tenant hereunder that would have accrued for the balance of the Lease Term, over (b) the aggregate rental value of the Demised Premises for the balance of the Lease Term, both discounted to present worth at the men applicable federal rate.
13.1.3 Repossession and Reletting. In the event of Default by Tenant, Landlord may reenter and take possession of the Demised Premises or any part thereof, without demand or notice, and repossess the same and expel Tenant and any party claiming by, under or through Tenant, and remove the effects of both, without breach of the peace, without being liable for prosecution on account thereof or being deemed guilty of any manner of trespass, and without prejudice to any remedies for arrears of rent or right to bring any proceeding for breach of covenants or conditions. No such reentry or taking possession of the Demised Premises by Landlord shall be construed as an election by Landlord to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such intention is given to Tenant. No notice from Landlord hereunder or under a forcible entry and detainer statute or similar law shall constitute an election by Landlord to terminate this Lease unless such notice specifically so states. Landlord reserves the right, following any reentry or reletting, to
24
exercise its right to terminate this Lease by giving Tenant such written notice, in which even the Lease will terminate as specified in said notice. After recovering possession of the Demised Premises, Landlord may, from time to time, but shall not be obligated to, relet the Demised Premises, or any part thereof, for the account of Tenant, for such term or terms and on such conditions and upon such other terms as Landlord, in its uncontrolled discretion, may determine. Landlord may make such repairs, alterations or improvements as Landlord may consider appropriate to accomplish such reletting, and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord upon demand for all costs and expenses, including brokers commissions and attorneys* fees, that Landlord may incur in connection with such reletting. Landlord may collect and receive the rents for such reletting but Landlord shall in no way be responsible or liable for any failure to relet the Demised Premises, or any part thereof, or for any failure to collect any rent due upon such reletting. Notwithstanding Landlords recovery of possession of the Demised Premises, Tenant shall continue to pay on the dates herein specified, the Basic Rent, Additional Rent and other amounts that would be payable hereunder if such repossession had not occurred. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Landlord shall refund to Tenant any amount, without interest, by which the amounts paid by Tenant, when added to the net amount, if any, recovered by Landlord through any reletting of the Demised Premises, exceeds the amounts payable by Tenant under this Lease. If, in connection with any reletting, the new lease term extends beyond the existing term, or the premises covered thereby include other premises not part of the Demised Premises, a fair apportionment of the rent received from such reletting and the expenses incurred in connection therewith will be made in determining the net amount recovered from such reletting.
13.1.4 Waiver of Landlord Liens. Landlord hereby waives any and all statutory and/or common law landlord lien which now exists or hereafter arises in connection with this Lease.
13.1.5 Suits by Landlord.
