Related to Disclaimers and Casualty Loss

• Casualty Loss If in Owner’s reasonable judgment the premises or the Property is materially damaged by fire or other casualty, Owner may terminate this Agreement within a reasonable time after such determination, by written notice to Resident, in which case Owner will refund prorated, pre-paid rent and all deposits less lawful deductions unless Resident and/or Resident’s guest(s) caused the casualty, in which case all funds on account will be applied to all applicable charges related to the damages and Resident will be responsible for the balance of all charges for repairs. If following a fire or other casualty Owner has not elected to terminate this Agreement, Owner will rebuild the damaged areas within a reasonable time, and during such reconstruction, Resident will be provided a reasonable rent reduction for the unusable portion of the premises unless Resident and/or Resident’s guest(s) caused the casualty.

• DAMAGE BY CASUALTY If during the Term or previous thereto, the Premises shall be destroyed or so damaged by fire or another casualty as to become un-leasable, then, at the option of the Lessor, this Agreement shall terminate from the date of such damage or destruction. The Lessor shall exercise this option to so terminate this Agreement by notice in writing delivered to the Lessee within [#] days after such casualty. Upon such notice, the Lessee shall immediately surrender said Premises and all interest therein to the Lessor, and the Lessee shall pay Rent up until the date of casualty. If the Lessor does not elect to terminate this Agreement, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect, and the Lessor shall expeditiously repair the Premises, placing the same in as good a condition as they were at the time of the damage or destruction. Rent shall be prorated, taking into account the amount of time the Lessee is unable to occupy the Premises. If the Premises are slightly damaged by fire or another casualty but are still leasable, the Lessor shall expeditiously repair the same with no rent proration. The Lessee may not make a claim for compensation because of any inconvenience or loss of business arising from the necessity of repairing any portion of the building or the Premises.

• Casualty Losses In the event that more than twenty-five (25%) of the square footage of the demised premises is damaged, destroyed, or rendered untenantable by fire or other casualty, Landlord may elect to terminate this lease by giving notice of such election to Tenant on or before the day which is ninety (90) days after such fire or other casualty, stating the date of termination, which termination shall be not more than thirty (30) days nor less than twenty-one (21) days after the date on which such notice of termination shall have been given; and (1) upon the date specified in such notice this lease and the term hereof shall cease and expire; and (2) any fixed annual rent and additional rent paid for a period after such date of termination shall be refunded to Tenant upon demand. If the leased premises are damaged or destroyed in whole or in part by fire or other casualty and the Tenant(s) do not want to terminate the lease, then the obligations of Tenant to pay fixed rent and to perform all of the other covenants and agreements on the part of Tenant to be performed pursuant to this shall not be diminished or affected.

• CASUALTY LOSS AND CONDEMNATION (a) If after the date of execution of this Agreement and prior to the Closing any part of the Assets suffers a Casualty Loss or if any part of the Assets is taken in condemnation or under the right of eminent domain or if proceedings for such purposes are pending or Threatened, Seller shall promptly give Buyer written notice of such occurrence, including reasonable particulars with respect thereto, and this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any such destruction, taking, proceeding, or threat, subject to Sections 11.08 and 11.14. (b) With regard to a Casualty Loss or condemnation occurring after the date of execution of this Agreement, without Buyer’s prior consent, no insurance or condemnation proceeds shall be committed or applied by Seller to repair, restore, or replace a lost, damaged, destroyed or taken portion of the Assets if the cost to repair, restore, or replace a lost, damaged, destroyed or taken portion of the Assets is projected to exceed $50,000. To the extent such proceeds are not committed or applied by Seller prior to the Closing Date in accordance with this Section 11.16(b), Seller shall at the Closing pay to Buyer all sums paid to Seller by reason of such loss, damage, destruction or taking, less any reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Seller in collecting such proceeds. In addition and to the extent such proceeds have not been committed or applied by Seller in accordance with this Section 11.16(b), in such repair, restoration, or replacement, Seller shall transfer to Buyer, at Closing, without recourse against Seller, all of the right, title, and interest of Seller in and to any unpaid insurance or condemnation proceeds arising out of such loss, damage, destruction or taking, less any reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Seller in collecting such proceeds. Any such funds which have been committed by Seller for repair, restoration, or replacement as aforesaid shall be paid by Seller for such purposes or, at Seller’s option, delivered to Buyer upon Seller’s receipt from Buyer of adequate assurance and indemnity that Seller shall incur no liability or expense as a result of such commitment. (c) If and to the extent any portion of the loss attributable to a Casualty Loss occurring after the date of execution of this Agreement and before Closing is not covered by insurance (such uncovered portion of the Casualty Loss being referred to in this Section as an "uninsured loss"), Buyer and Seller shall attempt to agree on the value of the uninsured Casualty Loss on or before the date five (5) days after Buyer receives written notice of the Casualty Loss. If the parties are not able to agree on such value within such 5-day period, the value shall be determined by an independent casualty adjuster, experienced in determining casualty losses in matters similar to the disputed Casualty Loss, who shall be selected by Seller from a list of three (3) such independent casualty adjusters that is provided to Seller by Buyer. Said independent casualty adjuster shall be selected by Seller within five (5) days of the written receipt by Seller of Buyer’s written listing of independent casualty adjusters and shall provide both Seller and Buyer with a complete and documented report as to his findings within ten (10) Business Days after being selected by Seller. For purposes of this Section, the value of the uninsured Casualty Loss shall be equal to the lesser of (i) the aggregate reduction in Allocated Value of the affected Assets resulting from the uninsured Casualty Loss, if such affected Assets are not repaired, or (ii) the amount required to repair the affected portion of the Assets to its condition immediately preceding the occurrence of the Casualty Loss plus any other Damages which may be suffered on account of such Casualty Loss. The Purchase Price shall be reduced by the amount of the value of such an uninsured Casualty Loss as finally determined pursuant to this Section, and if such final determination is not available on the scheduled Closing Date, Closing shall not be delayed, but rather, the amount paid at Closing shall be reduced by the value of the uninsured Casualty Loss estimated in good faith by Buyer, and the difference between such good faith estimate and the value finally determined pursuant hereto shall be included as part of the final adjustments to be made after Closing as contemplated by Section 2.05.

• FIRE AND CASUALTY DAMAGE If the Premises are so injured or damaged by fire or other cause as to be uninhabitable for more than 120 days, then the Tenant may terminate this Lease upon written notice to the Landlord. A total destruction of the Premises shall automatically terminate this Lease. If this Lease is not so terminated, then the Landlord shall diligently restore the damaged Premises at its sole cost and expense as soon as is reasonably practical, but in all events less than 120 days from the date of such damage or casualty, and if the Landlord fails to do so, then the Tenant may terminate this Lease by delivering written notice to the Landlord. The Tenant will be entitled to an abatement of Rent for the period of time that all or any portion of the Premises are not useable for the Tenant’s business due to such casualty based on the portion of the Premises that the Tenant is unable to use. If any such damage occurs before closing but after the Tenant has exercised its Option to Purchase, then the Tenant may, within 30 days after the date of such damage, by delivery of written notice to the Landlord, cancel and rescind the Tenant’s exercise of the Option to Purchase. Each of the Landlord and the Tenant hereby releases the other (and the other’s employees, officers, shareholders, directors, and members) from any and all liability or responsibility to the other or any claiming through or under them by way of subrogation or otherwise for any loss or damage to property caused by fire or any other perils which may be insurable in policies of insurance covering such property and required to be carried within this Lease, even if such loss or damage shall have been caused by the fault or negligence of the other party, or anyone for whom such party may be responsible. Each party shall cause its insurance policies to contain a clause or endorsement to the effect that such release shall not adversely affect or impair said policies or prejudice the right of the releasor to recover thereunder and to the effect that such insurer waives its rights of subrogation as to such released or waived claim.

• Condemnation and Casualty (a) In the event of any condemnation or casualty of any Property in part or in the entirety, the proceeds of such condemnation or casualty, to the extent not retained or otherwise applied by the holder of any mortgage securing Senior Debt on such Property, or by the holder of the Construction Loan, applied as required pursuant to any Major Lease approved by the Lender at the Property or applied by such mortgagee or in accordance with such Major Lease either to restore the improvements on such Property or to reduce such Senior Debt or the Construction Loan, as applicable, applied as required pursuant to any condominium declaration and/or related by-laws affecting any Property that has previously been approved by Lender to restore the improvements on such Property or applied in accordance with the Loan Documents, shall be immediately deposited by Borrower in a cash collateral account to be maintained by Borrower at a depository designated by Lender and under the sole dominion and control of Lender (the "Cash Collateral Account") pursuant to a cash collateral agreement to be entered into between Borrower, Lender and such Depository (the "Cash Collateral Agreement"); (such proceeds of condemnation so deposited being herein called "Condemnation Proceeds"; such proceeds of casualty so deposited being herein called "Casualty Proceeds"; and Condemnation Proceeds and/or Casualty Proceeds being herein called "Proceeds") and shall constitute additional collateral for the Loan Obligations. (b) Provided that no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Borrower shall be entitled to withdraw any Condemnation Proceeds from the Cash Collateral Account for the purpose of acquiring additional real estate assets with the consent of the Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, provided that, subject to the Loan Documents, the Loan Agreements and the Other Vornado Loans (i) Borrower shall have delivered to Lender an appraisal for such real estate (x) for an amount at least equal to the amount of the Condemnation Proceeds sought to be withdrawn by the Borrower to purchase such real estate and (y) issued by an appraisal company and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Lender; (ii) the Borrower shall have delivered to Lender environmental, engineering and such other studies, reports, documents, title reports, violation searches and other information relating to such real estate as would be generally required by the Lender in accordance with good institutional lending practices, all of which studies, reports, documents and other information shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Lender; (iii) the Lender shall be granted a priority lien mortgage on said real estate to further secure the Guaranty (the "Additional Mortgage"); (iv) the Borrower shall have delivered to Lender a paid-up mortgage title insurance policy in favor of Lender, insuring the Additional Mortgage as a second priority mortgage on such real estate, subject to no encumbrances or other title exceptions except those title exceptions which Lender reasonably determines are acceptable based on good institutional lending practices; and (v) the Borrower shall have paid all reasonable costs and expenses of the Lender (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) incurred by the Lender in connection with the review of any of the foregoing conditions. (c) The Borrower shall also have the right to withdraw the Condemnation Proceeds remaining in the Cash Collateral Account to pay for the cost of constructing improvements on any Property covered by any Mortgage, and the Borrower shall have the right to withdraw any Casualty Proceeds in the Cash Collateral Account to pay for the repair and restoration of improvements whose damage or destruction generated such Casualty Proceeds, provided that, in all cases, subject to the Loan Documents, the Loan Agreements and any condominium declaration and/or related by-laws affecting such Property that has previously been approved by Lender and the Other Vornado Loans: (i) no Default or Event of Default shall be continuing; (ii) the Lender shall have approved the plans and specifications for the construction of such improvements as well as the general contract and other major contracts to be entered into by the Borrower in connection with such construction, which approval will not unreasonably be withheld; (iii) the Lender shall have received such certification and assurances as Lender shall reasonably request to assure it that the cost of constructing the improvements as shown on the plans approved by Lender does not exceed the amount of the Proceeds sought to be withdrawn by the Borrower to pay for such improvements; and (iv) the Lender may impose such further conditions and restrictions upon the disbursement of such Proceeds as the Lender deems necessary or desirable, consistent with prudent institutional construction lending practices, to assure the completion of the proposed improvements subject to no liens or encumbrances (except Permitted Liens) and in accordance with the aforesaid approved plans and all applicable laws.

• No Casualty No Loan Party has received any notice of, nor does any Loan Party have any knowledge of, the occurrence or pendency or contemplation of any Casualty Event affecting all or any material portion of its property.

• Fire and Casualty Insurance Developer shall obtain and keep in full force adequate fire and casualty insurance with coverage in an amount equal to the assessed value of such improvements. In the event of loss the Developer shall use the proceeds of such insurance to promptly reconstruct the damaged or lost improvements.

• Casualty Neither the businesses nor the properties of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries are affected by any fire, explosion, accident, strike, lockout or other labor dispute, drought, storm, hail, earthquake, embargo, act of God or of the public enemy or other casualty (whether or not covered by insurance) that, either individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

• Limitation of Liability of Escrow Agent The Escrow Agent will not be liable to any of the Parties hereunder for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it under or in connection with this Agreement, except for losses directly, principally and immediately caused by its bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence. Under no circumstances will the Escrow Agent be liable for any special, indirect, incidental, consequential, exemplary, aggravated or punitive losses or damages hereunder, including any loss of profits, whether foreseeable or unforeseeable.
