Kenai Fjords Tours, Inc., from among the three proposals
submitted because of its potential investment, creation of

(a) the equivalent of the amount of the rent and charges
which would be payable under this Lease by Lessee if this Lease were still
in effect, less
(b) the net proceeds received by City from leasing or
reletting the Leased Land and improvements thereon after deducting all of
City's expenses in connection with such leasing and reletting, including,
without limitation, all repossession costs, brokerage commissions, legal
expenses, reasonable attorney fees, alteration costs, and expenses of
preparation for such reletting.
Lessee shall pay such current damages (herein called "deficiency") to City
monthly, and City shall be entitled to recover from Lessee each monthly
deficiency as the same shall arise. At any time after any such expiration or
termination, whether or not City shall have collected any monthly
deficiencies as aforesaid, City shall be entitled to recover from Lessee,
and Lessee shall pay to City, on demand, as and for liquidated and agreed
final damages for Lessee's default, an amount equal to the difference
between all rent reserved hereunder for the unexpired portion of the Lease
Term and the then -fair -and -reasonable net rental value to City of the Leased
Land for the same period. In the computation of such damages, the
difference between an installment of rent becoming due hereunder after the
• date of termination and the fair and reasonable rental value to City of the
Leased Land for the period for which such installment was payable shall be
discounted to the date of termination at the rate of six (6%) percent per
annum. If the Leased Land, or any part thereof, be leased or relet by City
for the unexpired portion of the Lease Term, or any part thereof, before
presentation of proof of such liquidated damages to any court, commission or
tribunal, the amount of rent reserved upon such leasing or reletting shall
be prima facie evidence of the fair and reasonable rental value for the part
or the whole of the premises so leased or relet during the term of the
leasing or reletting. Nothing herein contained shall limit or prejudice the
right of City to prove and obtain as liquidated damages by reason of such
termination an amount equal to the maximum allowed by any statute or rule of
law in effect at the time when, and governing the proceedings in which such
damages are to be proved, whether or not such amount be greater, equal to,
or less than the amount of the difference referred to above.
4. /{cumulation. ,of Remedies. Each right and remedy of City
provided for in this Lease shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to
every other right or remedy provided for in this Lease, or now or hereafter
existing at law, or in equity or by statute or otherwise, and the exercise
or beginning of the exercise by City of any one or more of the rights or
remedies provided for in this Lease, or now or hereafter existing at law or
in equity or by statute or otherwise, shall not preclude the simultaneous or
later exercise by City of any or all other rights or remedies provided for
in this Lease or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute
• or otherwise.
