such failure, Lessor may terminate this Lease and re-enter the premises, or
Lessor may, without terminating this Lease, re-enter said premises, and sublet
the whole or any part thereof for the account of the Lessee upon as favorable
terms and conditions as the market will allow for the balance of the term of
this Lease and Lessee covenants and agrees to pay to Lessor any deficiency
arising from a reletting of the premises at a lesser amount than herein agreed
to. Lessee shall pay such deficiency each month as the amount thereof is
ascertained by Lessor. However, the ability of Lessor to re-enter and sublet
shall not impose upon Lessor the obligation to do so.
20. REMOVAL OF PROPERTY: In the event Lessor lawfully re-enters the
premises as provided herein Lessor shall have the right, but not the obligation,
to remove all the personal property located therein and to place such property
