interference, including causing other tenants of the Premises causing such
interference to correct and eliminate the interference. The parties acknowledge
that there will not be an adequate remedy at law for non-compliance with the

removed by Licensee upon expiration or cancellation of the term of this
Agreement, as the same may be from time to time extended or renewed, or upon

liable to the other party for anticipatory profits or any indirect, special, incidental
