8.6    Indemnity.  Tenant shall indemnify and hold harmless Landlord from and against any and all claims arising from Tenant’s use of the Premises, or from the conduct of Tenant’s business or from any activity, work or things done, permitted or suffered by Tenant in or about the Premises or elsewhere.

20.2            Termination of Tenant's Right to Possession.  Landlord can terminate Tenant's right to possession of the Premises at any time while Tenant is in default.  Acts of maintenance, efforts to relet the Premises, or the appointment of a receiver on Landlord’s initiative to protect Landlord’s interest under this Lease shall not constitute a termination of Tenant's right to possession.  On termination, Landlord has the right to recover from Tenant:

(b)    The worth, at the time of the award, of the amount by which the unpaid Rent that would have been earned after the date of termination of this Lease until the time of award exceeds the amount of the loss of Rent that could have been reasonably avoided;

(c)    The worth, at the time of the award, of the amount by which the unpaid Rent for the balance of the term after the time of award exceeds the amount of the loss of Rent that could have been reasonably avoided; and

(d)    Any other amount, and court costs, necessary to compensate Landlord for all detriment approximately caused by Tenant's default.

20.3            Appointment of Receiver. If Tenant is in default of this Lease, Landlord shall have the right to have a receiver appointed to collect rent and conduct Tenant’s business.  Neither the filing of a petition for the appointment of a receiver nor the appointment itself shall constitute an election by Landlord to terminate this Lease.  Tenant agrees that in the event all or substantially all of its assets be placed in the hands of a receiver or trustee, and in the event receivership of trusteeship continue for a period of ten (10) days, or should Tenant make assignment for the benefit of creditors, or be adjudicated a bankrupt, or should Tenant institute any state or federal bankruptcy act wherein Tenant seeks to be adjudicated a bankrupt, or seeks to be discharged of its debts, or should any voluntary proceeding be filed against such Tenant under such bankruptcy laws and Tenant consents thereto or acquiesces therein by pleading or default, then this Lease or any interest in and to the demised Premises shall not become an asset in any of such proceedings and in any of such events and in addition to any and all rights or remedies of Landlord hereunder of as provided by law, it shall be lawful for Landlord at his option to declare the term hereof ended and to re-enter the demised Premises and take possession hereof and remove all persons therefrom and Tenant shall have no further claim, therein or hereunder.
