Damage or Destruction. (a) If the Premises shall be damaged by fire or other casualty, the Landlord shall collect the proceeds of such insurance and immediately and with all due diligence commence to repair such damage at its expense. From the date the damage occurs to the date the repairs are complete, the rent due hereunder shall be reduced by the same percentage as the percentage of the Premises which, in the Tenant's reasonable judgment, cannot be safely, economically or practically used for the operation of the Tenant's business. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if in the Tenant's reasonable judgment, any damage or destruction to the Premises from any cause whatsoever cannot be repaired within one hundred eighty (180) days following the date such damage occurs, the Tenant may terminate this Lease by written notice to the Landlord given within ninety (90) days following the occurrence of such damage. In addition, if any damage or destruction to the Premises from any cause whatsoever cannot be repaired, in the Landlord's reasonable judgment, within one hundred eighty (180) days following the date such damage occurs and the Landlord elects not to repair such damage, the Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease by written notice to the Tenant given within ninety (90) days after the date such damage occurred provided that no more than three (3) calendar years remain in the term hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at the time the Landlord gives such termination notice any of the renewal options provided for in the Lease have not yet been exercised and the Tenant exercises a renewal option within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Landlord's termination notice, then this Lease shall not be terminated and the Landlord shall promptly commence restoration of the Premises.
(b) In the event of a termination of the Lease pursuant to this paragraph, all insurance proceeds payable by reason of damage under policies required to be carried hereunder (excluding any insurance proceeds attributable to damage to the Tenant's inventory, trade fixtures, business or leasehold improvements paid for by the Tenant) shall be paid to the Landlord.
Damage or Destruction. Section 11.01 If at any time during the Lease Term, any of the Demised Properties or any part thereof shall be damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty of any kind or nature, Tenant shall promptly apply for all permits required by applicable Law, but in any event not later than sixty (60) days after the first date of such damage or destruction, and, upon issuance of such permits, thereafter diligently proceed to repair, replace or rebuild such Demised Property as nearly as possible to its condition and character immediately prior to such damage, with such variations and Alterations requested by Landlord as may be permitted under (and subject to the provisions of) Article 6 (the “Restoration Work”).
Section 11.02 All property and casualty insurance proceeds payable to Landlord or Tenant (except (a) insurance proceeds payable to Tenant on account of the Tenant Equipment or Tenant’s inventory; and (b) insurance proceeds payable from property or comprehensive general public liability insurance, or any other insurance) at any time as a result of casualty to the Demised Properties shall be paid jointly to Landlord and Tenant for purposes of payment for the cost of the Restoration Work, except as may be otherwise expressly set forth herein. Landlord and Tenant shall cooperate in order to obtain the largest possible insurance award lawfully obtainable and shall execute any and all consents and other instruments and take all other actions necessary or desirable in order to effectuate same and to cause such proceeds to be paid as hereinbefore provided. The proceeds of any such insurance in the case of loss shall, to the extent necessary, be used first for the Restoration Work (including if completed by Landlord or a third party after any substitution of the applicable Demised Property pursuant to Article 31) with the balance, if any, paid to Tenant (provided, however, that if an Event of Default is continuing, the balance, if any, shall be paid to Landlord). If insurance proceeds as a result of a casualty to the relevant Demised Property are insufficient to complete the Restoration Work necessary by reason of such casualty, then Tenant shall be responsible for the payment of such amounts necessary to complete such Restoration Work.
Section 11.03 Subject to the terms hereof, this Lease shall not be affected in any manner by reason of the total or partial destruction to any Demised Property or any part thereof, and Tenant, notwithstanding any applicable Law, pre...

During the period in which the Parking is unavailable to a Tenant for any reason caused by Landlord during the Term of this Agreement for a period of more than thirty (30) consecutive days, including, without limitation, any such period during which Landlord is repairing and restoring the Parking Facility, the rental payable by Tenant shall ▇▇▇▇▇. The abatement of the rent shall be the exclusive remedy of Tenant against Landlord in the event of a casualty involving the Premises.

Damage or Destruction. Mortgagor will give Mortgagee prompt notice of damage to or destruction of any improvements on the Mortgaged Property or to personal property used in the operation of the Mortgaged Property and in case of loss covered by policies of insurance, Mortgagee is hereby authorized to make proof of loss if not promptly made by Mortgagor or the lessees under any lease of any portion of the Mortgaged Property (“Lease” or “Leases”). Any expenses incurred by Mortgagee in the collection of insurance proceeds, together with interest thereon from the date of such expense at the highest default rate set forth in the Notes, shall be added to and become a part of the Indebtedness and shall be reimbursed by Mortgagor to Mortgagee immediately upon demand. Such net proceeds may be applied by Mortgagee, upon or in reduction of the Indebtedness then most remotely to be paid, without a prepayment fee, or to the cost of rebuilding or restoration of the improvements on the Mortgaged Property. However, if Mortgagee shall require that the improvements on the Mortgaged Property be repaired or rebuilt, then the repair, restoration, replacement or rebuilding of the improvements on the Mortgaged Property shall be to a condition of at least equal value as prior to such damage or destruction, and such net proceeds of insurance shall be made available therefor under the conditions and in the manner set forth below. So long as there exists no Event of Default (as defined in the Loan Agreement), and provided any loss or damage cannot, in the sole judgment of Mortgagee, result in the termination, cancellation or modification of the Leases (if any), and if the Leases so require and the insurers do not deny liability as to the insureds, such insurance proceeds, after deducting expenses incurred in collection, shall be made available under the conditions and in the manner specified in the following paragraph, for the repair, restoration, replacement or rebuilding of improvements on the Mortgaged Property to a condition of at least equal value as existed prior to such damage or destruction. Otherwise, such net proceeds may be applied by Mortgagee, in its sole discretion, upon and in reduction of the Indebtedness then most remotely to be paid in inverse chronological order, or to the cost of rebuilding or restoration of the Mortgaged Property or personal property. However, if Mortgagee shall require that the Mortgaged Property be repaired or rebuilt in accordance with this Agreement, such net proce...

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at the time of such casualty Lessee or Lessor determines, in its reasonable judgment, that it would take more than one hundred twenty (120) days for Lessor to restore, as aforesaid, then Lessee or Lessor may terminate this Lease on at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the other party as of the date set forth in said notice, with the same force and effect as if said date were the date originally fixed for the termination of the term of this Lease. In any such case, any Base Rent and additional rent, if any, paid by Lessee shall be refunded by Lessor to Lessee, which obligation shall survive Lease termination. If the parties are unable to agree as to the Base Rent or additional rent to be paid or refunded, or as to the number of anticipated days to restore, they agree that the dispute shall be submitted determined and settled by appraisal as in this Lease set forth.
