DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION OF PREMISES a. In the event the Premises are damaged by fire or other perils or casualty covered by fire and extended coverage insurance, Landlord may, in its sole and absolute discretion, repair or rebuild the same within a reasonable time after the event causing such damage. This Lease shall remain in full force and effect, except that Tenant shall be entitled to a proportionate reduction of the rent from the date of damage and while such repairs are being made, such proportionate reduction to be based upon the extent to which the damage and making of such repairs shall reasonably interfere with the business carried on by Tenant in the Premises as determined by Landlord. If the damage is due to the fault or neglect of Tenant or its employees, as determined by Landlord in its sole discretion, there shall be no reduction of rent. Landlord may authorize or direct construction of an alternative structure or may elect to retain any insurance proceeds received by it if Landlord deems reconstruction or construction of an alternative structure to be impractical or unreasonable in its sole discretion.
b. In the event the Premises are damaged to any extent as a result of any cause other than the perils covered by fire and extended coverage insurance, Landlord shall in its sole discretion have the option to: (1.) to repair, reconstruct or restore the Premises within a reasonable time of the event causing the damage, in which case this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, but the rent shall be proportionately reduced as provided above in 11a. during the period of such repair, reconstruction or restoration, or (2.) to give notice to Tenant at any time within sixty (60) days after such damage occurs, terminating this Lease as of the date specified in such notice, which date shall be no more than thirty (30) days after the giving of such notice. In the event of giving to Tenant such notice of termination, this Lease shall terminate and all interests of Tenant in the Premises shall cease on the date so specified in such notice and Tenant shall pay the rent, as proportionately reduced, based upon the extent, if any, to which such damage interfered with the business carried on by Tenant in the Premises, up to the date of such termination.
c. With regard to Landlord’s duty or option to repair, reconstruct or restore the Premises within a reasonable time of the event causing the damage as provided in 11a. and b. above, Landlord shall act promptly and with due diligence, but Landlord shall not be responsible for delays caused by factors beyond Landlord’s control, including but not limited to delays because of strikes, work slowdowns or stoppages, accidents, acts of God, failure of any governmental or other authority to act in a timely manner, or delays caused by contractors. If such delays occur, Tenant agrees that Landlord shall not be responsible for damages, nor shall Landlord be deemed to be in default under this Lease.
d. Landlord shall not be required to repair any damage by fire or other casualty, or to make any repair or replacements of any leasehold improvements, fixtures, or other personal property of Tenant.
DAMAGE TO LEASED PREMISES In the event the building housing the Premises shall be destroyed or damaged as a result of any fire or other casualty which is not the result of the intentional acts or neglect of Lessee and which precludes or adversely affects the Lessee’s occupancy of the Premises, then in every such cause, the rent herein set forth shall be abated or adjusted according to the extent to which the leased Premises have been rendered unfit for use and occupation by the Lessee and until the demised Premises have been put in a condition at the expense of the Lessor, at least to the extent of the value and as nearly as possible to the condition of the Premises existing immediately prior to such damage. It is understood, however, in the event of total or substantial destruction to the Premises that in no event shall the Lessor's obligation to restore, replace or rebuild exceed an amount equal to the sum of the insurance proceeds available for reconstruction with respect to said damage.
Damage or Destruction Condemnation (a) In the event of partial damage or destruction of the Property of a type which can, under the circumstances, be expected in the reasonable judgment of Seller and Buyer to be restored or repaired at a cost of $500,000 or less, then, this Contract shall be consummated on the Closing Date at the Purchase Price, and unless such damage has been repaired by Seller prior to Closing, Seller shall assign to Buyer the casualty insurance proceeds payable to Seller and business interruption proceeds applicable to the period on and after the Closing Date payable to Seller (but only to the extent such business interruption proceeds are assignable to Buyer), less any amounts expended by Seller for partial restoration and with a credit to Buyer for the amount of any deductible and/or uninsured damage.
(b) In the event that the Property shall have been damaged by fire or casualty, the cost of repair or restoration of which would, in the reasonable judgment of Seller and Buyer, exceed the sum of $500,000, then unless Seller has previously repaired or restored the Property to its former condition, at Buyer’s election, Seller shall either (i) pay over or assign to Buyer, on delivery of the Deed all casualty insurance proceeds payable to Seller and business interruption proceeds applicable to the period on and after the Closing Date payable to Seller (but only to the extent such business interruption proceeds are assignable to Buyer), less any amounts reasonably expended by Seller for partial restoration, with a credit to Buyer for the amount of any deductible and/or uninsured damage, or (ii) direct Escrow Agent to return the Deposit to Buyer in which case, except for the Surviving Obligation, all other obligations of the parties hereto shall cease and this Contract shall terminate and be without further recourse or remedy to the parties hereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Buyer elects to proceed with the transaction under clause (i) of this paragraph (b), in no event shall Seller be obligated to incur any out of pocket cost above $500,000 (whether attributable to a casualty being uninsured, underinsured or to any deductible).
(c) If all or part of the Property is taken by condemnation, eminent domain or by agreement in lieu thereof, or any proceeding to acquire, take or condemn all or part of the Property is threatened or commenced, Buyer may either terminate this Contract (in which event Buyer shall be entitled to a return of the Deposit and accrued interest thereon, if any, and, except for the Surviving Obligations, all other obligations of the parties hereto shall cease and this Contract shall terminate and be without further recourse or remedy to the parties hereto) or close title to the Property in accordance with the terms hereof, without reduction in the Purchase Price, together with an assignment of Seller's rights to any award paid or payable by or on behalf of the condemning authority. If Seller has received payments from the condemning authority and if Buyer elects to close title to the Property, Seller shall credit the amount of said payment against the Purchase Price at the Closing.
