                 the apartment belonging to Tenant, Tenant agrees that in order
                 to satisfy any unpaid account owing by Tenant to owner, Owner
                 shall have the right to sell any of the effects seized from the
                 apartment, by judicial or conventional sale, and at either
                 public or private sale, all at Owner's option, and the Tenant
                 waives the benefit of appraisement. In the event Owner elects
                 to re-enter and repossess the apartment pursuant to this
                 provision, it is hereby specifically agreed that such re-entry
                 and repossession by Owner will not serve as termination of this
                 Lease Agreement nor as a release by Owner of Tenant's duty to
                 pay the agreed-upon rental for the unexpired portion of the
                 lease term provided for herein; and in the event of such re-
                 entry and repossession by Owner, all rights of Tenant as a
                 resident shall terminate, but Tenant shall remain liable for
                 the rent herein specified during the remaining term of this
                 Agreement plus Owner's cost of repossessing the apartment,
                 including a reasonable attorney's fee in the amount of Two
                 Hundred Dollars ($200.00), court costs, and all other
                 expenditures incurred by Owner as a result of Tenant's default.
                 In the event Owner is required to defend itself in any action
                 brought by Tenant arising out of this Agreement, Owner shall be
                 entitled to claim against Tenant all costs incurred in such
                 defense including reasonable attorney's fees in an amount of
                 not less than Two Hundred Dollars ($200.00); and in the event
                 Owner is successful in its defense against Tenant and is found
                 to be without fault in the contested matter, Tenant agrees to
                 pay to Owner said costs and attorney fees. The failure on the
                 part of Owner to re-enter and repossess the apartment, or to
                 exercise any of its rights thereunder upon default, shall not
                 preclude Owner from the exercise of any such right during the
                 continuance of such default or upon any subsequent default.
                 Acceptance of past-due rent will in no way act as a waiver of
                 Owner's right to terminate this Lease Agreement for non-payment
                 of rent when due, and no notice or demand shall be required for
                 the enforcement thereof. It is understood and agreed that the
                 mention in this Lease Agreement of any particular remedy shall
                 no preclude Owner from any other remedy, in law or in equity.
Tenant's
Representation        11.  In the event Tenant makes any misrepresentation in
                 entering the demised premises, either on the application which
                 he is required to fill out and which is a condition to
                 effectuating its Agreement or otherwise, Owner may treat the
                 same as a violation of a covenant of this Agreement and the
                 remedies, as provided herein for any violation and any other
                 remedies provided by law, shall become and are applicable.
