At any time or fran time to time after any
such expiration or tennination, the City may relet the leased land, or

each rronthly deficiency as the same shall arise. At any time after any
such expiration or tennination, whether or not the City shall have
collected any IlOnthly deficiencies as aforesaid, the City shall be
entitled to recOIler fran lessee, and lessee shall pay to the City, on
demand, as and for liquidated and agreed final damages for lessee's
default, an anount equal to the differenoe between all rent reserved
hereunder for the unexpired portion of the Lease Tenn and the then fair
and reasonable net rental value to the City of the leased land for the
same period. In the carputation of such damages, the differenoe between
an install1rent of rent becaning due hereunder after the date of tennina-

leasing or reletting shall be prima facie evidenoe of the fair and
reasonable rental value for the part or the whole of the premises so
leased or relet during the tenn of the leasing or reletting. Nothing
herein oontained shall limit or prejudioe the right of the City to prove
and dltain as liquidated damages by reason of such tennination an arrount
equal to the maximum allowed by any statute or rule of law in effect at

to be proved, whether or not such anount be greater, equal to, or less
than, the arrount of the differenoe referred to above.
