DESTRUCTION OF PREMISES (A) If, during the term of this Lease, the Leased Premises are totally or partially destroyed by fire or the elements, so as to render the premises wholly unfit for occupancy, or make it impossible in the opinion of a licensed third party arbitrator knowledgeable in the child care business reasonably acceptable to Lessee and Lessor, for Lessee to conduct its business therein, then either Lessor or Lessee shall have the right to terminate this Lease from the date of such damage or destruction by giving written notice. The parties agree to use reasonable promptness to obtain the opinion of such licensed third party arbitrator. Upon the giving of such notice, Lessee shall immediately surrender the Leased Premises and all interest therein to Lessor, and in case of any such termination, Lessor may re-enter and repossess the Leased Premises and may dispossess all parties then in possession thereof. If not otherwise terminated, in the event the Leased Premises shall be repaired, restored, and rebuilt by Lessee with the use of insurance proceeds (which Lessor shall cooperate to make available), but otherwise at its own sole cost and expense, within one hundred eighty (180) days from the date of destruction (subject to force majuere as set forth in paragraph C hereof, then all rents payable by Lessee shall be abated during the period of repair and restoration to the extent Lessor shall be compensated by the proceeds of rents loss insurance. In no event shall Lessor be required to provide its own money for the repair or restoration of the Leased Premises other than the net proceeds of moneys received by it from any insurance policy or policies covering such loss or damages. Lessee shall be liable for repair of the Leased Premises with all reasonable speed, and the rents shall recommence on the date that the repairs are completed. Lessee shall be under no obligation to so repair during the last five (5) years of the term of the Lease, or as extended, but if Lessee shall desire to rebuild during the last 12 months of the Lease term, Lessor will make insurance proceeds available to rebuild the Leased Premises conditioned upon Lessee then exercising its next renewal option under the Lease. Lessor will make insurance proceeds available to rebuild the Leased Premises in the event Lessee rebuilds, except as stated above.
(B) If the damage does not, in the opinion of a licensed third party arbitrator reasonably acceptable to Lessee and Lessor, render the Leased Premises unfit for occupancy, then Lessor agrees that the damage shall be repaired as soon as practicable and in that case, Lessee shall pay full rent during the repair period. All repairs shall be paid for by Lessee out of any insurance proceeds received (which Lessor shall cooperate to make available), but if the insurance proceeds are insufficient to rebuild or repair the Leased Premises according to the original plans and specifications, whether repair or restoration is commenced pursuant to paragraph A or B hereof, then Lessee agrees to pay all additional amounts that are required to rebuild the building in accordance with the original plans and specifications. All improvements or betterments placed by Lessee on the demised premises shall, however, in any event, be repaired and replaced by Lessee at its own expense and not at the expense of Lessor. The purpose of this Article is to require Lessee to carry insurance coverage on the Leased Premises sufficient to rebuild the improvements in the event of damage or destruction. Lessee shall be under no obligation to so rebuild during the last five (5) years of the term, as extended, as the case may be, but if Lessee shall desire to rebuild during the last 12 months of the Lease term, Lessor will make insurance proceeds available to rebuild the Leased Premises conditioned upon Lessee then exercising its next renewal option under the Lease. Lessor will make insurance proceeds available to rebuild the Leased Premises in the event Lessee rebuilds, except as stated above. Risk that the insurance company shall be insolvent or shall refuse to make insurance proceeds available shall be with Lessee. The Leased Premises shall be so restored or rebuilt so as to be of at least equal value and substantially the same character as prior to such damage or destruction. If the insurance proceeds are less than $100,000 they shall be paid to Lessee for such repair and restoration. If the insurance proceeds are greater than or equal to $100,000 they shall be deposited by Lessee and Lessor into a customary construction escrow at a nationally recognized title insurance company, or at Lessee's option, with Lessor ("Escrowee") and shall be made available from time to time to Lessee for such repair and restoration. Such proceeds shall be disbursed in conformity with the terms and conditions of a commercially reasonable construction loan agreement. Lessee shall, in either instance, deliver to Lessor or Escrowee (as the case may be) satisfactory evidence of the estimated cost of completion together with such architect's certificates, waivers of lien, contractor's sworn statements and other evidence of cost and of payments as the Lessor or Escrowee may reasonably require and approve. If the estimated cost of the work exceeds One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000), all plans and specifications for such rebuilding or restoration shall be subject to the reasonable approval of Lessor.
(C) Lessee shall comply with the time period stated above for restoration of the Leased Premises as set forth in this Article; provided, however, that said period of time shall be extended for a period or periods of time equal to any period or periods of delay caused by strikes, lockouts, fire, or other casualty, the elements, acts of God, delay by or refusal or failure of governmental authorities to grant necessary permits and approvals for the reconstruction of the Leased Premises (Lessee agreeing to use reasonable diligence to procure the same), or other causes other than financial, beyond Lessee's reasonable control or the reasonable control of Lessee's contractor.
Restoration of Premises Upon termination of this lease, CSU shall have the option to require Auxiliary, at its own expense and risk, to restore the demised premises as nearly as possible to the condition existing prior to the execution of the lease, with the exception of normal wear and tear. But, if Auxiliary shall fail to do so within 90 days after CSU’s option, CSU may restore the property at the risk of the Auxiliary and all costs and expenses of such removal or restoration shall be paid by Auxiliary upon demand of State. CSU shall have the right to exercise this option within 30 days after the expiration of this lease, but not thereafter.
DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION OF PREMISES If the Premises are damaged by fire or other casualty, but are not rendered untenantable for Tenant’s business, either in whole or in part, Landlord shall cause such damage to be repaired without unreasonable delay and the Annual Rent shall not xxxxx. If by reason of such casualty the Premises are rendered untenantable for Tenant’s business, either in whole or in part, Landlord shall cause the damage to the physical structure of the Building (excluding any tenant improvements or alterations therein) to be repaired or replaced without unreasonable delay, and, in the interim, the Annual Rent shall be proportionately reduced as to such portion of the Premises as is rendered untenantable, however, Tenant must vacate the portion of the Premises deemed untenantable during the period of Landlord’s repairs for such abatement of Annual Rent to be effective. Any such abatement of rent shall not create an extension of the Term. Provided, however, if by reason of such casualty, the Premises are rendered untenantable in some material portion, and Landlord, in its commercially reasonable estimation, determines that the amount of time required to repair the damage using due diligence is in excess of two hundred ten (210) days (as measured from the date of casualty), then Landlord shall provide written notice thereof to Tenant, to be given to Tenant within seventy-five (75) days following the date of such casualty, and either party shall then have the right to terminate this Lease by giving written notice of termination within thirty (30) days after the date of said notice from Landlord. In such event, the Annual Rent shall (i) xxxxx as of the date of such casualty in proportion to the part of the Premises rendered untenantable, and (ii) xxxxx entirely as of the effective date of the termination of this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the casualty giving rise to an election to terminate is caused by the negligence, misconduct or acts or omissions of Tenant or Tenant’s Invitees, Tenant shall have no right to terminate this Lease. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section, in the event there should be a casualty loss to the Premises during the last two (2) Lease Years of the Term, Landlord may, at its option, terminate this Lease by giving written notice to Tenant within thirty (30) days after the date of the casualty and the Annual Rent shall xxxxx as of the date of such notice. Except as provided herein, Landlord shall have no obligation to rebuild or repair in case of fire or other casualty, and no termination under this Section shall affect any rights of Landlord or Tenant hereunder arising from the prior defaults of the other party. Tenant shall give Landlord immediate notice of any fire or other casualty in the Premises. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section to the contrary, in no event shall Landlord be required to expend more funds in connection with the repair or restoration of the Premises than the amount received by Landlord from the proceeds of any insurance policies maintained by Landlord.
