Landlord shall in no way be responsible or liable for any failure to relet the demised premises or any part thereof, or of any failure to collect any rent due upon such reletting.
Section 4. No such expiration or termination of this Lease, or summary proceedings, abandonment or vacancy shall relieve Tenant of its liability and obligation under this Lease, whether or not the demised premises shall be relet. In any such event Tenant shall pay Landlord the rent and all other charges required to be paid by Tenant up to the time of such event. Thereafter:
A) 1. Tenant, until the end of the term of this Lease, or what would have been such term in the absence of any such event, shall be liable to Landlord as damages for Tenant's default, the equivalent of the amount of the rent and other charges which would be payable under this Lease by Tenant if this Lease were still in effect, less the net proceeds of any reletting effected pursuant to the provisions above, after deducting all Landlord's expenses in connection with such reletting, including, without limitation, all repossession costs, brokerage and management commissions, operating expenses, legal expenses, reasonable attorneys' fees, alteration costs, expenses of preparation for such reletting.

3. At any time after the expiration or termination of this Lease pursuant to this Article, in lieu of collecting any further monthly deficiencies as aforesaid, Landlord shall be entitled to recover from Tenant, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord, on demand, as damages, in addition to the damages provided for in Section 8, damages computed in the manner set forth in this Section B, minus any such monthly deficiencies previously recovered from Tenant.

Said damages shall become due and payable to Landlord monthly upon such breach of this Lease and without regard to whether this Lease be terminated or not, and if this Lease be terminated without regard to the manner in which it is terminated. In the computation of such damages, the difference between any installment of rent thereafter becoming due and the fair and reasonable rental value of the premises for the period for which such installment was payable shall be discounted to the date of such breach at the rate of not more than four (4%) percent per annum.
2. If and so long as the term of this Lease shall continue, the rent reserved herein for the unexpired term the Lease after a breach, shall be reduced by the amount of such liquidated damages as may be paid to Landlord, such reduction being applied proportionately to each installment of rent thereafter becoming due. During the continuance of the Lease after such a breach and until such damages are paid to Landlord, the whole amount of each installment of rent herein reserved shall be due and payable at the time herein specified and if, by reason of the subsequent payment of liquidated damages, and the resulting reduction in rental, Landlord shall have received a sum in excess of all installments, as so reduced, becoming due after the breach and before the collection of such damages, such excess shall be refunded upon the receipt of such liquidated damages.

Nothing herein contained shall limit or prejudice the right of Landlord to obtain as liquidated damages by reason of such termination, an amount equal to the maximum allowed by any statute or rule of law in effect at the time when and governing the proceeding in which, such damages are to be proved, whether or not such amount be greater, equal to, or less than the amount of the difference referred to above.
Section 6. If this Lease be terminated by summary proceedings or otherwise, or if the premises are abandoned or become vacant, and whether or not the premises be relet, Landlord shall be entitled to recover from Tenant, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in addition to any damages becoming due under this Article, the following: an amount equal to all expenses, if any, including reasonable counsel fees, incurred by Landlord in recovering possession of the demised premises, and all reasonable costs and charges for the care of said premises while vacant, which damages shall be due and payable by Tenant to Landlord at such time as such expenses are incurred by Landlord.
Section 7. If this Lease be terminated in any manner whatsoever, or if there be any breach of this Lease, then and in either of such events, Tenant covenants and agrees, any other covenant in this Lease notwithstanding:
A) That the premises shall be in the same condition as that in which Tenant has agreed to surrender them to Landlord at the expiration of the term hereof.
B) That Tenant, on or before the occurrence of any such event shall perform any covenant contained in this Lease for the making of any improvement, alteration or betterment to the premises, or for restoring or rebuilding any part thereof; and
C) That, for the breach of any covenant of the lease, Landlord shall be entitled to recover and Tenant shall pay, ipso facto, without notice or other action by Landlord, the then cost of performing such covenant, less interest thereon at the rate of four (4%) percent per annum for the period between the occurrence of any such event and the time when any such work or act, the cost of which is computed, should have been performed under the other provisions of this Lease had such event not occurred.
Section 8. Tenant hereby expressly waives, as permitted by law, the service of any notice of intention to reenter provided for in any statute, and except as is herein otherwise provided, Tenant, for and on behalf of itself and all persons claiming through or under Tenant (including any leasehold mortgagee or other creditor), also waives any and all right of redemption or reentry or repossession in case Tenant shall be disposed by a judgment or by warrant of any court or judge or in case of reentry or repossession by Landlord or in case of any expiration or termination of this Lease. The terms "enter", "re- enter", "entry", or "reentry" as used in this Lease are not restricted to their technical legal meanings.
Section 9.
