(b) the Tenant shall be in default of any of its covenants, obligations or agreements under this Lease (other than its covenant to pay Rent) and such default shall have continued for a period of ten (10) consecutive days after notice by the Landlord to the Tenant specifying with reasonable particularity the nature of such default and requiring the same to be remedied,

Such forfeiture shall be wholly without prejudice to the right of the Landlord to recover arrears of Rent and damages for any antecedent breach of the covenants, obligations or agreements of the Tenant under this Lease. Notwithstanding any such forfeiture the Landlord may subsequently recover from the Tenant damages for loss of Rent suffered by reason of this Lease having been prematurely determined and it may recover from the Tenant all damages it may incur with respect thereto, including the cost of recovering the Leased Premises, and including the worth at the time of such termination of the excess, if any, of the amount of Rent, for the remainder of the Term over the then reasonable rental value of the Leased Premises for the remainder of the Term, all of which Rent shall be immediately due and payable from the Tenant to the Landlord.

The Tenant shall pay to the Landlord the amount by which the rentals received from such re-letting during any month are less than the rent payable during that month by the Tenant. Notwithstanding any such reletting without termination, the Landlord may at any time thereafter elect to terminate this Lease. No such re-entry or taking of possession by the Landlord shall be construed as an election on its part to terminate this Lease unless, at the time of or subsequent to such re-entry or taking of possession, a written notice of such intention has been given to the Tenant or unless the termination thereof be decreed by a court of competent jurisdiction.

Section 7.4. Right to Distrain. The Tenant waives and renounces the benefit of any present or future statute purporting to limit or qualify the Landlord right to distrain and agrees with the Landlord that in any of the events set out in Section 7.2, the Landlord, in addition to the other rights reserved to it, shall have the right to enter the Leased Premises as agent of the Tenant either by force or otherwise without being liable for any prosecution therefor and to take possession of any goods and chattels whatever on the Leased Premises, save and except any such goods and chattels which are owned by any occupiers of the Leased Premises, other than the Tenant, and to sell the same at public or private sale without notice and apply the proceeds of such sale on account of the Rent or in satisfaction of the breach of any covenant, obligation or agreement of the Tenant under this Lease and the Tenant shall remain liable for the deficiency, if any. Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 30 of The Landlord and Tenant Act R.S.O. 1970 or any successor legislation or other statute which may hereafter be passed to take the place of the said Section or to amend the same, none of the goods and chattels of the Tenant at any time during the continuance or the Term shall be exempt from levy by distress for Rent and the Tenant hereby waives all and every benefit that it could or might have under such Section. Upon any claim being made for such exemption by the Tenant, or on distress being made by the Landlord, this provision may be pleaded as an estoppel against the Tenant in any action brought to test the right to the levying upon any such goods.

Section 7.5. Landlord May Follow Chattels. In case of removal by the Tenant of the goods or chattels of the Tenant from the Leased Premises, the Landlord may follow the same for thirty (30) days in the same manner as is provided for in The Landlord and Tenant Act R.S.O., 1970, or any successor legislation or other statute which may hereafter be passed to take the place of the said Act or to amend the same.

Section 7.6. Waiver of Repudiation of Lease. The Tenant waives and renounces the benefit of Section 65.2 of the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act or any successor legislation as such statute may be amended from time to time and the Tenant covenants and agrees that it will not repudiate this Lease pursuant to Section 65.2 of the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act. Upon any attempt to repudiate this Lease by the Tenant pursuant to Section 65.2 of the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act, the Landlord shall be entitled to plead this covenant and agreement as an estoppel against the Tenant repudiating this Lease.

Waivers. No waiver by either party of any breach by the other party of any of its covenants, obligations and agreements under this Lease shall be a waiver of any subsequent breach or of any other covenant, obligation or agreement, nor shall any forbearance to seek a remedy for any breach be a waiver of any rights and remedies with respect to such or any subsequent breach.

Section 9.8. Severabilty. If any covenant, obligation or agreement in this Lease or the application thereof to any person of circumstance shall to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Lease or the application of such covenant obligation or agreement to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid or unenforceable shall not be affected thereby and each covenant, obligation and agreement in this Lease shall be separately valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted.

Section 9.9. Headings. The article headings and section headings in this Lease have been inserted for convenience of reference only and do not form part of this Lease. Such headings shall not be referred to in the interpretation of this Lease.
