Should LESSEE fail to deliver such possession, LESSEE consents to pay as liquidated damages fives times the daily rent per day for each day of LESSEE's failure to surrender possession. 12. ABANDONMENT : Should the premises be abandoned by LESSEE or should LESSEE begin to remove personal property to the detriment of LESSOR's lien, then the rent for the unexpired term, with reasonable attorney's fees, shall immediately become due, and LESSOR, at LESSOR's option, may cancel the lease and re-enter and let the premises for such price or on such terms as may be immediately obtainable, and apply the net amount realized to the amount due by LESSEE. 13.
