Once Agreement is terminated, Lessor's agents may enter upon the Leased Premises and take immediate possession of the same and remove Lessee's effects. Any rental due hereunder shall be payable to said date of termination. It is agreed that failure to declare this Lease terminated upon the default of Lessee for any of the reasons set forth above shall not be construed as a waiver of any of the Lessor's rights hereunder or otherwise bar or preclude Lessor from declaring this Agreement cancelled as a result of any subsequent violation of any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the termination remedy set forth herein, the Lessor may exercise any other right or remedy available to it by law, equity, contract or otherwise. All of such remedies are expressly cumulative and the exercise of one or more remedies shall not preclude the simultaneous or subsequent exercise of different or additional remedies. 7,44 REPLACEMENT AFTER DAMAGE It is agreed between the parties hereto that in the event the Leased Premises are damaged by fire or other accidental cause during the initial term of this Agreement so as to become totally or partially untenantable, the Lessor shall have the option to restore the Leased Premises to their former condition. If the Lessor elects to exercise the option, the Lessor shall give Lessee notice in writing of its election within thirty (30) days of the occurrence of such damage. If the Lessor elects to restore the Leased Premises, the Lessor shall proceed with due diligence and there shall be an abatement of the rent until repairs have been made for the time and to the extent for which the premises, or part thereof, have been untenantable. Should the Lessor not exercise the option to restore the premises, the lease of such untenable portion of the premises shall cease and terminate effective on the date of damage by fire or other accidental cause. 7.05 CONFLICT OF INTEREST The Lessee acknowledges that it has been informed that Texas law prohibits contracts between the City of Lubbock and its "officers" and "employees," and that the prohibition extends to officers and employees of the City of Lubbock agencies, such as Lessor - owned utilities, and certain City of Lubbock boards and commissions, and to contract 18 with any partnership, corporation or other organization in which the officers or employees have a substantial interest. Lessee certifies (and this Agreement is made in reliance thereon) that neither the Lessee nor any person having an interest in this Agreement is an officer or employee of the City of Lubbock or any of its agencies, boards or commissions. 7.06 REMOVAL OF LESSEE'S PROPERTY The Lessee shall have the right, within thirty (30) days after the termination of this Lease, whether such termination comes upon expiration of the initial term, any extension or otherwise under any provision of this Lease, to remove from the Leased Premises all of Lessee's furniture, equipment, furnishings, trade fixtures, and other personal property which has not become the Property of the Lessor, but Lessee shall restore the Leased Premises to the original condition, normal wear and tear excepted. The Lessor, however, shall have a lien, and Lessee expressly hereby grants a lien, on all of Lessee's property to secure any unpaid rentals or other revenue due the Lessor; and Lessee's right to remove property from the Leased Premises is conditioned upon all amounts due Lessor from Lessee having been paid in full. Property left on the premises after thirty (30) days from the date of termination of this Lease shall be deemed abandoned and will become the Property of the Lessor, and may be disposed of as the Lessor sees fit, without any liability to the Lessee to account for the proceeds of any sale; and the Lessor, at its option, may require Lessee to remove the abandoned property and may charge rent from the date of the expiration or termination of this Lease through the day of final removal of the property, or of notification to the Lessee of the abandonment of the property and taking by the Lessor, as the case may be. 7.07 TERMINATIONN OF LEASE AND SURRENDER OF LEASED PREMISES The Lessee covenants and agrees that at the expiration of this Lease, or upon earlier termination as provided elsewhere in this .Agreement, Lessee will quit and surrender the Leased Premises and the improvements not owned by it in good condition, reasonable wear and tear excepted, and the Lessor shall have the right to take possession of the Leased Premises and such improvements, subject to the limitations expressed in Article Seven, of this Lease, with or without process of law. 19 ARTICLE EIGHT MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS 8.01 NOTICES Notices to the Lessor required or appropriate under this Agreement shall be deemed sufficient if in writing and hand delivered or mailed, registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the Director of Aviation, Lubbock Preston Smith International Airport, 5401 N.
