Lessor's option, hold Lessee liable for any difference between the rent that would have been

payable under this Agreement during the balance of the unexpired term, if this Agreement had

continued in force, and the net rent for such period realized by Lessor by means of such reletting. If

Lessor's right of reentry is exercised following abandonment of the Premises by Lessee, then

Lessor shall consider any personal property belonging to Lessee and left on the Premises to also

have been abandoned, in which case Lessor may dispose of all such personal property in any

manner Lessor shall deem proper and Lessor is hereby relieved of all liability for doing so.
