Comparison with Other Damage Functions Sample Clauses

Comparison with Other Damage Functions. We want to compare our results with already published damage functions in literature. The city of London has been studied in detail by Xxxxxx et al. (2011) and a damage function for flood levels between 0 and 10 m has been provided (Xxxxxx 2014). Figure 9 shows a comparison between our macro-scale damage function and the one provided in Xxxxxx et al. (2011). It can be seen that the magnitudes of damages differ roughly by a factor of 2 to 4, which indicates a difference of estimated maximum damage values. One reason for that is certainly our underestimation entailed by the non-consideration of certain areas in our approach. However, the factor found appears to be too large to be explained by our methodology. Other reasons for a higher valuation of losses by Xxxxxx et al. (2011) remain unclear. Comparing the shapes of the two curves, a less steep increase of our curve for higher sea levels can be detected (this can be seen particularly in the linear-scale cross plot). A possible explanation could be the use of different small scale damage functions, particularly with respect to the inundation level where the maximum damage is reached. Another available macro-scale damage function has been elaborated by Xxxxxxxxxx et al. (2011) for the city of Copenhagen. Although this curve provides flood damages only for sea levels up to 4 m, we will use it as reference curve for our estimation. Figure 10 shows a comparison analogous to the London case beforehand. Here, we find very similar shapes which differ mainly by a certain factor (lower than in the London case). It can be concluded that the difference emerging from the other constituting factors, such as the orography and the relative damage functions, is comparably small. In general, the two comparisons show that, apart from a factor, our rather rough approach provides reasonable results comparable to existing more detailed curves. Since there are too few historical recorded storm surges and damages, it cannot be evaluated which of the functions performs better (see Part III).

  • Complete Work without Extra Cost Except to the extent otherwise specifically stated in this contract, the Contractor shall obtain and provide, without additional cost to the City, all labor, materials, equipment, transportation, facilities, services, permits, and licenses necessary to perform the Work.

  • Repair of Damage If the Relevant Space is damaged by fire, storm, flood, earthquake or other insured casualty, Landlord and Tenant shall work cooperatively and diligently with one another to obtain estimates of the cost and time required to repair and restore such damage to the Building and the Relevant Space (which estimates Landlord shall be responsible for obtaining and sharing with Tenant) and to negotiate a settlement payment with the relevant insurance company as quickly as feasible following the date of the casualty event and in any event within ninety (90) days after the date of such casualty event (the “90-Day Casualty Assessment Period”). If it is determined that the damage to the Building and the Relevant Space can be substantially repaired and restored within one hundred eighty (180) days from the expiration of the 90-Day Casualty Assessment Period using standard working methods and procedures, Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to repair and restore the Relevant Space and the Building to its previous condition. Provided, however, if it is determined that the Building and the Relevant Space cannot be repaired and restored within such one hundred eighty (180) day period, then either party may, within ten (10) days after such determination is made and communicated to both Landlord and Tenant, terminate this Lease by giving notice to the other party; provided further, however, Tenant shall not be able to terminate this Lease if the damage was caused by Tenant’s willful misconduct. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the cost of repairing and restoring the Building, the Building-Specific Common Areas, the Exterior Common Areas and/or the Land, or any part thereof, to the extent that any water damage is due to the malfunction, leaking or misuse of any Tenant personal property, equipment, or non- Building Standard Improvements, including, without limitation, refrigerators, fish tanks, icemakers, water fountains and water coolers, to the extent specified in Section 6.4 herein. Additionally, if it is determined that the Building and the Relevant Space will be repaired and restored as provided above, Tenant shall be entitled, by so notifying Landlord in writing during the 90-Day Casualty Assessment Period, to have Landlord’s repair and restoration obligations encompass only a scope of work that is consistent with the Building Shell Improvements originally completed by Landlord prior to the Commencement Date and, in such case, (i) Tenant shall be responsible for all additional work required to repair and restore the Building and the Relevant Space to the condition that existed immediately prior to the casualty event or to a modified condition and receive the relevant insurance proceeds related thereto which remain following the completion of Landlord’s repair and restoration obligations, subject to Landlord’s prior written approval of the plans and specifications for such modifications pursuant to Section 6.1(b) herein (and Tenant shall bear the risk of any shortfall in insurance proceeds to fully pay for such additional work if and to the extent such additional work exceeds the scope of work that would be required to restore the Improvements that existed in the Premises immediately prior to the casualty event), (ii) the foregoing one hundred eighty (180) day period for the completion of the repair and restoration project shall no longer be applicable and (iii) Tenant shall cause such additional work to be completed in an expeditious manner (so that rent hereunder will again be payable with respect to the Relevant Space) and otherwise in compliance with all relevant terms and provisions in this Lease relating to the installation of Improvements by Tenant.

  • Repair of Damage to Premises by Landlord Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord of any damage to the Premises resulting from fire or any other casualty. If the Premises or any Common Areas serving or providing access to the Premises shall be damaged by fire or other casualty, Landlord shall promptly and diligently, subject to reasonable delays for insurance adjustment or other matters beyond Landlord's reasonable control, and subject to all other terms of this Article 1 1, restore the Base Building and such Common Areas. Such restoration shall be to substantially the same condition of the Base Building and the Common Areas prior to the casualty, except for modifications required by zoning and building codes and other laws or by the holder of a mortgage on the Building or Project or any other modifications to the Common Areas deemed desirable by Landlord, which are consistent with the character of the Project, provided that access to the Premises and any common restrooms serving the Premises shall not be materially impaired. Landlord shall repair any injury or damage to the improvements which exist in the Premises as of the Lease Commencement Date (the "Original Improvements") and shall return such Original Improvements to their original condition. Prior to the commencement of construction, Tenant shall submit to Landlord, for Landlord's review and approval, all plans, specifications and working drawings relating thereto, and Landlord shall select the contractors to perform such improvement work. Landlord shall not be liable for any inconvenience or annoyance to Tenant or its visitors, or injury to Tenant's business resulting in any way from such damage or the repair thereof; provided however, that if such fire or other casualty shall have damaged the Premises or Common Areas necessary to Tenant's occupancy, and the Premises are not occupied by Tenant as a result thereof, then during the time and to the extent the Premises are unfit for occupancy, the Rent shall be abated in proportion to the ratio that the amount of rentable square feet of the Premises which is unfit for occupancy for the purposes permitted under this Lease bears to the total rentable square feet of the Premises, provided that if the Premises are so damaged that it is not reasonably practicable for Tenant to continue its business operations from any portion of the Premises, then the Rent shall be fully abated during such time.

  • Other Activities/Renovations A. The Contractor acknowledges its responsibility to assure the Judicial Council’s quiet enjoyment of the Program and to provide the full service level of the Property for the Program, free from outside distractions, disturbances, and/or interruptions. The Contractor shall avoid assigning any rooms to the Judicial Council or the Attendees during the Program which are adjacent to or across from any group or activity that may generate noise or other distractions, such as construction or other conduct, sufficient to detract from quiet enjoyment of the Program on the Property. B. Additionally, the Contractor shall notify the Judicial Council of any actual or contemplated renovations or other construction that will or may occur on or adjacent to the Property during the Program, no later than fourteen (14) Days from the time the Contractor learns of such renovation or construction activity. C. For any disturbance, renovation, or construction activity that is potentially or actually inconvenient or disruptive to the Program, upon the Judicial Council’s request, the Contractor shall: i. Immediately cause such disturbance to cease, if possible, or suspend or minimize construction or renovation on the Property, if necessary, in order to maintain a proper environment for the Program; and/or ii.

  • Taxes and Other Charges for Which Tenant Is Directly Responsible 4.5.1 Tenant shall be liable for and shall pay ten (10) days before delinquency, taxes levied against Tenant’s equipment, furniture, fixtures and any other personal property located in or about the Premises. If any such taxes on Tenant’s equipment, furniture, fixtures and any other personal property are levied against Landlord or Landlord’s property or if the assessed value of Landlord’s property is increased by the inclusion therein of a value placed upon such equipment, furniture, fixtures or any other personal property and if Landlord pays the taxes based upon such increased assessment, which Landlord shall have the right to do regardless of the validity thereof but only under proper protest if requested by Tenant, Tenant shall upon demand repay to Landlord the taxes so levied against Landlord or the proportion of such taxes resulting from such increase in the assessment, as the case may be. 4.5.2 If the tenant improvements in the Premises, whether installed and/or paid for by Landlord or Tenant and whether or not affixed to the real property so as to become a part thereof, are assessed for real property tax purposes at a valuation higher than the valuation at which tenant improvements conforming to Landlord’s “building standard” in other space in the Building are assessed, then the Tax Expenses levied against Landlord or the property by reason of such excess assessed valuation shall be deemed to be taxes levied against personal property of Tenant and shall be governed by the provisions of Section 4.5.1, above. 4.5.3 Notwithstanding any contrary provision herein, Tenant shall pay prior to delinquency any (i) rent tax or sales tax, service tax, transfer tax or value added tax, or any other applicable tax on the rent or services herein or otherwise respecting this Lease, (ii) taxes assessed upon or with respect to the possession, leasing, operation, management, maintenance, alteration, repair, use or occupancy by Tenant of the Premises or any portion of the Project, including the Project parking facility; or (iii) taxes assessed upon this transaction or any document to which Tenant is a party creating or transferring an interest or an estate in the Premises.

  • Major Damage In the event of Major Damage to a Property prior to the Closing Date, then the applicable Seller shall have no obligation to repair such Major Damage and shall notify Purchaser in writing of such damage or destruction (the “Damage Notice”). Within ten (10) days after Purchaser’s receipt of the Damage Notice, Purchaser may elect at its option to give a Termination Notice for the damaged Property to Seller’s Representative. If Purchaser does not elect to terminate this Agreement with respect to the damaged Property, this transaction shall be closed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement either, at the election of the applicable Seller, (a) for the full Purchase Price for the damaged Property notwithstanding any such damage or destruction, and Purchaser shall, at Closing, execute and deliver an assignment and assumption (in a form reasonably required by the applicable Seller) of such Seller’ rights and obligations with respect to the insurance claim and related to such casualty, and thereafter Purchaser shall receive all remaining insurance proceeds pertaining to such claim (plus a credit against the applicable Purchase Price at Closing in the amount of any deductible payable by the applicable Seller in connection therewith and not spent by such Seller for demolition, site cleaning, restoration or other repairs); or (b) Purchaser shall receive a credit against the Base Purchase Price for the damaged Property for the full replacement costs of repair to the subject Property, plus, to the extent covered by such Seller’s insurance policy, any costs required pursuant to local code or zoning requirements, as determined by an independent third party reasonably acceptable to such Seller and Purchaser. In the event a Seller elects to assign such Seller's rights and obligations with respect to the insurance claim and related casualty to Purchaser as provided above, and if an AIMCO employee is the adjuster for the claim related thereto, Sellers covenant and agree that the adjuster shall act in accordance with standard insurance industry protocols in processing such claim (including, without limitation, the time taken to process such claim).
