to pay such deficiency to be realized during the term of the reletting. The
LESSEE shall not be entitled to any surplus accruing as a result of the
reletting. The LESSEE agrees to pay, as additional rent, reasonable attorneys
fees and other expenses incurred by the LESSOR in enforcing any of the
obligations under this Lease. No provision of this Lease shall be deemed to have
been waived by LESSOR unless such waiver shall be in writing signed by LESSOR.
No payment by LESSEE or receipt by LESSOR of a lesser amount than the monthly
installments of rent herein stipulated shall be deemed to be other than on
account of the earliest stipulated rent, nor shall any endorsement or statement
on any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment as rent be deemed
an accord and satisfaction, and LESSOR may accept such check or payment without
prejudice to LESSOR'S right to recover the balance of such rent or pursue any
other remedy in this Lease provided.
ARTICLE X-TERMINATION
In the event of any termination of the Lease by the LESSOR for any of the
reasons set forth herein or elsewhere in the Lease, termination shall not

payments due hereunder, or for damages to the LESSOR from the LESSEE by virtue
of the LESSEE'S breach of the Lease agreement.
