LANDLORD may elect to relet the Space, but shall have no obligation to do so. In the event that LANDLORD elects to relet the Space, LANDLORD may make any reasonable alterations or refurbish the Space, LANDLORD may relet all or any portion of the Space, alone or in conjunction with other portions of the Hangar. for a term longer or shorter than the Term of this Lease, at a rental rate other than that provided in this Lease, and upon such other terms (including the granting of concessions) as LANDLORD solely determines to be acceptable. If LANDLORD elects to reenter and relet all or any portion of the Space, LANDLORD may apply the rent so collected in such order as LANDLORD may elect, in LANDLORD's sole discretion, including, without limitation, as follows (ifso elected by LANDLORD): |
| ( I) | first, to any amount due hereunder other than Minimum Rent and Additional Rent; |
| (2) | second, to the payment of costs and expenses of such reletting; |
| (3) | third, to the payment of Minimum Rent and Additional Rent; |
| (4) | fourth, the residue shall be held and applied to future Rent due hereunder. |
No such reentry or taking possession of the Space shall be construed as an election on LANDLORD's part to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such intention is given to TENANT. LANDLORD, however. shall have no duty to relet the Space, and LANDLORD’s failure to do so shall not release TENANT's liability for Rent or damages. TENANT shall remain fully liable to LANDLORD for the deficiency between any rent collected as a result of reletting and the Rent and other sums that are owed from TENANT to LANDLORD under this Lease. LANDLORD shall have the right to rent any other available space in the Airport before reletting or attempting to relet the Space.

TENANT shall be responsible to LANDLORD for (i) all payments due under this Lease prior to the date of termination; (ii) all costs incurred by LANDLORD in connection with such termination; and (iii) accelerated Rent in an amount equal to the Rent for the balance of the Term. Such amount shall be paid by TENANT to LANDLORD immediately upon demand by LANDLORD and shall constitute liquidated damages and not a penalty or forfeiture (TENANT and LANDLORD agree that the actual damages will be difficult or impossible to ascertain in such event and that the amount described above is an agreed upon reasonable. good faith estimate thereof). If LANDLORD elects to terminate this Lease, TENANT's liability to LANDLORD for such damages shall survive such termination. |
| (e) | TENANT specifically acknowledges and agrees that LANDLORD shall have the right to continue to collect Rent after any termination (whether such termination occurs through eviction proceedings or as a result of some other early termination pursuant to this Lease) for the remainder of the Term, less any amounts collected by LANDLORD from the reletting of the Space, but in no event shall TENANT be entitled to receive any excess of any such rents collected over the Rent. |
| ( f) | In addition to all other sums that are owed by TENANT to LANDLORD under this Lease, upon such Event of Default, TENANT shall become liable for any costs incurred by LANDLORD under this Lease for the completion of any improvements to the Space, and any real estate commissions paid by LANDLORD under this Lease. |
18.3. No Exclusive Remedy. Any rights and remedies reserved by, or granted to LANDLORD under this Lease, at law or in equity are distinct, separate, and cumulative, and the exercise of any one of them shall not be deemed to preclude, waive, or prejudice LANDLORD's right to exercise any or all others.
| 19. | TAXES, ASSESSMENTS, FEES AND INTEREST |
TEN ANT shall be solely responsible for the payment of all taxes, assessments. license fees or other charges that may be levied or assessed during the Term upon or against any personal property or equipment located within or upon the Space which is owned by, leased to or in the care, custody and control of TENANT.

| 20. | GOVERNING LAW/PREVAILING PARTY |

Following any such relocation, LANDLORD and TENANT shall enter into an amendment to this Lease to reflect that the Space consists of such relocation space. All other terms and conditions of this Lease shall remain unchanged following such relocation.
| 22. | RIGHTS NOT WAIVED |
No failure by LANDLORD to insist upon the strict performance of any term, covenant agreement, provision, condition or limitation of this Lease or to exercise any right or remedy consequent upon a breach thereof. and no acceptance by LANDLORD of full or partial Rent during the continuance of any such breach or application of the security deposit in light of any breach, shall constitute a waiver of any such breach or of any such term, covenant, agreement provision, condition. limitation, right or remedy. No term, covenant, agreement, provision, condition, limitation of this Lease to be kept, observed or performed by TENANT, and no breach thereof shall be waived, altered or modified except by a written instrument executed by LANDLORD.
