Lessor may, at Lessor's option, hold Lessee liable for any difference between the rent that would have been payable under this Lease during the balance of the unexpired term, if this Lease had continued in force, and the net rent for such period realized by Lessor by means of the reletting. If Lessor's right of reentry is exercised following the abandonment of the Premises by Lessee, then Lessor may 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 is relieved of all liability for doing so.
