Demised Premises as Landlord, in its reasonable judgment, considers advisable or necessary to relet the same, and no action of Landlord in accordance with the foregoing or failure to relet or to collect rent under re letting shall operate or be construed to release or reduce Tenant's liability as aforesaid. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to relet the Demised Premises upon such termination.

( e) If Tenant shall default Landlord may, at Landlord's option, cure any default at the cost and expense of the Tenant, and all sums so expended by Landlord shall be deemed to be additional rent and on demand shall be paid by Tenant on the day on which the next rent payment under this Lease shall become due and payable.

(f) All past due payments of Annual Rent, Additional Rent or any other charges required of Tenant under this Lease shall bear interest from the date due until paid at the lesser of twelve percent (12%) per annum or the maximum lawful rate of interest ("Default Interest").

( c) Tenant shall not permanently vacate or abandon the Demised Premises or the improvements at any time during the Lease term. If Tenant permanently abandons the Demised Premises or the improvements, or is dispossessed from same by process of law, or otherwise, any personal property belonging to Tenant and left in or on the Demised Premises or the improvements shall be deemed to be abandoned, at the option of Landlord, except such property as may be encumbered to Landlord.
