Tenant, relet the Premises, or any part thereof, for the whole or any part thereof, for the whole or any part of the then unexpired
term, and may receive and collect all rent payable by virtue of such reletting, and, at Landlord’s option, hold Tenant liable for any

Agreement had continued in force, and the net rent for such period realized by Landlord by means of such reletting. If Landlord’s
right of reentry is exercised following abandonment of the Premises by Tenant, then Landlord shall consider any personal
property belonging to Tenant and left on the Premises to also have been abandoned, in which case Landlord may dispose of all
such personal property in any manner Landlord shall deem proper and Landlord is hereby relieved of all liability for doing so.
