rent for such period realized by Landlord by means of such reletting. If

Landlord's right of reentry is exercised following abandonment of the

Premises by Tenant, then Landlord shall consider any personal property

belonging to Tenant and left on the Premises to also have been

abandoned, in which case Landlord may dispose of all such personal

property in any manner Landlord shall deem proper and Landlord is

hereby relieved of all liability for doing so.

agrees to pay all expenses so incurred, including a reasonable attorneys'

fee.
