Landlord shall be entitled to collect such reasonable damages from Tenant on the days on which Rent (including any Additional Rent) and other amounts would, have been payable under this Lease if this Lease had not been terminated, and Landlord shall be entitled to receive such Rent (including any Additional Rent) and other amounts from Tenant on each such day.

18.5 Cumulative Remedies. Any suit or suits for the recovery of the amounts and damages set forth in Sections 183 and 18.4 may be brought by Landlord, from time to time, at Landlord’s election, and nothing in this Lease will be deemed to require Landlord to await the date upon which this Lease would have expired had there occurred no Event of Default Each right and remedy provided for in this Lease is cumulative and is in addition to every other right or remedy provided for in this Lease now or after the Commencement Date existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, and the exercise or beginning of the exercise by Landlord of any one or more of the rights or remedies provided for in this Lease now or after the. Commencement Date existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise will not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by Landlord of any or all other rights or remedies provided for in this Lease now or after the Commencement Date existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise.
