the items that it is unable to remove, a time line for their removal not to exceed three months unless
otherwise agreed by the parties, and will pay reasonable storage charges to Lessor for permitting the
items to remain on site. If the items have not been removed or the written list provided to the Lessor by
Tenant within sixty (60) days of the effective date of the termination of the Lease, the Lessor may take
