tenancy operate as a waiver of the right to terminate this lease for a breach of any of the
covenants herein.
13. LESSOR'S REMEDIES. If Lessee shall vacate or abandon the Premises or permit the
same to remain vacant or unoccupied for a period of ten days, or in case of the non-payment of
the rent reserved hereby, or any part thereof, or of the breach of any covenant in this lease
contained. Lessee's right to the possession of the Premises thereupon shall terminate with or (to
the extent permitted by law) without any notice or demand whatsoever, and the mere retention of
possession thereafter by Lessee shall constitute a forcible detainer of the Premises; and if the
Lessor so elects, but not otherwise, and with or without notice of such election or any notice or
demand whatsoever, this lease shall thereupon terminate, and upon the termination or Lessee's
right of possession, as aforesaid, whether this lease be terminated or not, Lessee agrees to
surrender possession of the Premises immediately, without the receipt of any demand for rent,
notice to quit or demand for possession of the Premises whatsoever, and hereby grants to Lessor
full and free license to enter into and upon the Premises or any part thereof, to take possession
thereof with or (to the extent permitted by law) without process of law, and to expel and to
remove Lessee or any other person who may be occupying the Premises or any part thereof, and
Lessor may use such force in and about expelling and removing Lessee and other persons as may
reasonably be necessary, and Lessor may re-possess himself of the Premises as of his former
estate, but such entry of the Premises shall not constitute a trespass or forcible entry or detainer,
nor shall it cause a forfeiture of rents due by virtue thereof, nor a waiver of any covenant,
agreement or promise in this lease contained, to be performed by Lessee. Lessee hereby waives
all notice of any election made by Lessor hereunder, demand for rent, notice to quit, demand for
possession, and any and all notices and demand whatsoever, of any and every nature, which may
or shall be required by any statute of this state relating to forcible entry and detainer, or to
landlord and tenant, or any other statute, or by the common law, during the term of this lease or
any extension thereof. The acceptance of rent, whether in a single instance or repeatedly, after it
falls due, or after knowledge of any breach hereof by Lessee, or the giving or making of any
notice or demand, whether according to any statutory provision or not, or say act or series of acts
except an express written waive, shall not be construed as a waiver of Lessor's rights to act
without notice or demand or of any other right hereby given Lessor, or as an election not to
proceed under the provisions of this lease.
14. RIGHT TO RELET. If Lessee's right to the possession of the Premises shall be terminated
in any way, the Premises, or any part thereof, may, but need not (except as provided by Illinois

reserved, after paying the expenses of reletting and collection, including commissions to agents,
6
and including also expenses of redecorating. Lessee agrees to pay and satisfy all deficiency; but
the acceptance of a tenant by Lessor, in place of Lessee, shall not operate as a cancellation
hereof, nor to release Lessee from the performance of any covenant,promise or agreement herein
contained, and performance by any substituted tenant by the payment of rent, or otherwise, shall
constitute only satisfaction pro tanto of the obligations of Lessee arising hereunder.
15. COSTS AND FEES. Lessee shall pay upon demand all Lessor's costs, charges and
expenses, including fees of attorneys, agents and others retained by Lessor, incurred in enforcing
any of the obligations of Lessee under this lease or in any litigation, negotiation or transaction in

amount paid out by Lessor in such behalf, including Lessor's costs, expenses and counsel fees.
