Casualty or Condemnation If, prior to the Closing, the Improvements or any material portion thereof (having a replacement cost equal to or in excess of $100,000 are damaged or destroyed by fire or casualty, or are taken by eminent domain by any governmental entity, and Seller is unable to restore such damage or destruction prior to the Closing Date in the case of a casualty, then Buyer shall have the option, exercisable by written notice given to Seller at or prior to the Closing, to terminate this Agreement, whereupon all obligations of all parties hereto shall cease, the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer, and this Agreement shall be void and without recourse to the parties hereto except for provisions which are expressly stated to survive such termination. If Buyer does not elect to terminate this Agreement as aforesaid or if such damage or destruction or taking has a replacement cost or is in an amount of less than $100,000, Buyer shall proceed with the consummation of the Closing (to the extent then otherwise obligated to do so) without reduction or offset of the Purchase Price, and in such case, unless the Seller shall have previously restored the Real Property to its condition prior to the occurrence of any such damage or destruction, Seller shall pay over or assign to Buyer all amounts received or due from, and all claims against, any insurance company or governmental entity as a result of such destruction or taking, and Seller shall pay the applicable deductible amount under the insurance maintained by Seller. In the event of any such casualty or condemnation, Seller agrees to (a) provide Buyer with copies of all written communications between Seller or the Partnership and their insurance carriers or the applicable governmental authorities, as applicable, the subject matter of which is the adjustment of insurance proceeds or condemnation awards, and (b) allow Buyer to review and make comments to any proposed settlement arrangement proposed to be entered into by Seller or the Partnership with any such third party; provided, that after the Inspection Period, if Buyer has not terminated this Agreement, Seller shall not enter into any settlement arrangement concerning casualty or condemnation in excess of $50,000 without obtaining the prior written consent of Buyer, which consent may be granted or withheld in Buyer’s sole discretion.
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.
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.
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.
Condemnation or Casualty Seller agrees to give Purchaser prompt written notice of any fire or other casualty occurring to all or any portion of the improvements at the Real Property and/or Personalty between the date hereof and the date of closing. If prior to the closing, there shall occur:
(i) damage to the improvements at the Property caused by fire or other casualty which would cost 5% of the Purchase Price of the Property or more to repair based on the estimate of a reputable third party contractor chosen by Seller; or
(ii) the taking or condemnation of all or any portion of the Real Property and/or the improvements as aforesaid as would materially interfere with the use thereof; then, if any of such events set forth in (i) or (ii) above occurs, Buyer or Seller, at its option, may terminate its obligations under this Agreement by written notice given to the other within seven (7) days after Buyer has received the notice referred to above or at the closing, whichever is earlier. If Buyer or Seller does not elect to terminate its obligations as aforesaid, the closing shall take place as provided herein without an abatement of the purchase price (except that Buyer shall be allowed a credit for any deductible under Seller's insurance) and there shall be assigned to the Buyer at closing, all interest of the Seller in and to any insurance proceeds or condemnation awards which may be payable to Seller on account of such occurrence. If, prior to the closing, there shall occur:
(i) damage to the Property caused by fire or other casualty which would cost less than 5% of the Purchase Price of the Property based on the estimate of a reputable third party contractor chosen by Seller to which Buyer has no reasonable objection; or
(ii) the taking or condemnation of all or any portion of the said Real Property and/or improvements as aforesaid which is not material to the use, thereof; then, if any of such events set forth in (i) or (ii) above occurs, Buyer shall have no right to terminate its obligations under this Agreement, but there shall be assigned to Buyer at closing all interest of Seller in and to any insurance proceeds or condemnation awards which may be payable to Seller on account of any such occurrence, and in addition, Buyer shall be allowed a credit for any deductible under Seller's insurance policy. Seller shall be responsible for maintaining fire and extended coverage insurance prior to closing as is currently in place.
Uninsured Casualty Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, if the Building or the Premises shall be substantially damaged by fire or casualty as the result of a risk not covered by the forms of casualty insurance at the time maintained by Landlord and such fire or casualty damage cannot, in the ordinary course, reasonably be expected to be repaired within ninety (90) days from the time that repair work would commence, Landlord may, at its election, terminate the Term of this Lease by notice to the Tenant given within sixty (60) days after such loss. If Landlord shall give such notice, then this Lease shall terminate as of the date of such notice with the same force and effect as if such date were the date originally established as the expiration date hereof.
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.

18.2 If the Building or the Premises shall be destroyed or substantially damaged by a casualty not covered by Landlord’s insurance, or if 25% or more of the Premises is damaged or rendered untenantable by a casualty covered by Landlord’s insurance, or if the Premises are not affected but 25% of the Building or such portion of the Common Facilities as shall render the Premises or the Building untenantable is damaged or rendered untenantable, then in any such event Landlord may elect either to terminate this Lease or to proceed to rebuild and repair the Premises or that portion of the Building so damaged. Landlord shall give written notice to Tenant of such election within 90 days after the occurrence of such casualty, or within 30 days after the adjustment of the insurance settlement, whichever is later. In the event that such notice of termination shall be given, this Lease shall terminate as of the date provided in such notice of termination (whether or not the Term shall have commenced) with the same effect as if that date were the Expiration Date, without prejudice, however, to Landlord’s rights and remedies against Tenant under the terms of this Lease. If at any time prior to Landlord giving the aforesaid notice of termination or commencing the repair pursuant to Section 18.1, there shall be a Successor Landlord, such Successor Landlord shall have a further period of 60 days from the date of so taking possession to terminate this Lease by notice to Tenant and in the event that such a notice of termination shall be given, this Lease shall terminate as of the date provided in such notice of termination (whether or not the Term shall have been commenced) if Tenant is not occupying any portion of the Premises or otherwise as of the date provided in such notice, with the same effect as if that date were the Expiration Date, without prejudice, however, to Landlord’s rights against Tenant under the terms of this Lease.
18.3 Subject to the provisions of Section 18.1, Landlord’s obligation to rebuild and repair under this Article XVIII shall in any event be limited to restoring Landlord’s Work, as described in the Work Letter, to substantially the condition in which the same existed prior to the casualty, and to proceed, at the sole cost and expense of Tenant, to rebuild, repair and restore Tenant’s Work and any additional Improvements made by Tenant during the Term, all to substantially the condition existing prior to such casualty.
18.4 During the period from the occurrence of the casualty until Landlord’s repairs are completed, the Basic Rent payable pursuant to Article V and Additional Rent payable pursuant to Articles VI and VII shall be abated in that proportion which the Premises area rendered untenantable bears to the entire Premises area; provided, however, there shall be no abatement of any other charges or items of Additional Rent provided for herein to be paid by Tenant; and further provided, however, that should Tenant or anyone claiming through or under Tenant occupy a portion of the Premises during the period the repair work is taking place and prior to the date the Premises are no longer untenantable, the Rent allocable to such reoccupied portion, based upon the proportion which the reoccupied portion of the Premises bears to the total area of the Premises, shall be payable by Tenant from the date of such occupancy.

Insurance Casualty Condemnation Seller agrees that it will keep the Property insured against casualty until the Closing Date under its existing insurance policies or replacement policies with the same coverage as existing at the date of execution hereof. Such policies shall be terminated by Seller at the Closing Date. In the event that, prior to the Closing Date, all or any portion of the Property shall be destroyed by fire or other casualty, or taken by condemnation or exercise of the right of eminent domain, or if proceedings therefor shall be instituted or threatened and the amount of any such damage or condemnation exceeds $100,000, then Buyer may, within ten (10) days of its receipt of notice of such event, elect to terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller and Escrow Agent. If the damage or condemnation is equal to or less than $100,000 or if the damage or condemnation exceeds $100,000 but Buyer does not terminate this Agreement, then the parties shall proceed to close the transaction contemplated hereby, in which event any insurance or condemnation proceeds (excluding rental loss proceeds attributable to the period prior to the Closing Date) shall inure to the benefit of Buyer and shall be assigned by Seller to Buyer at close of Escrow. In the event the parties proceed to close the transaction contemplated hereby, Seller shall pay any required deductible applicable to such insurance coverage, or the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the amount of any such deductible.
