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.
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.
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.
Damage, Destruction and Condemnation (a) Seller will bear the risk of loss for any damage, destruction, or condemnation that may occur prior to Closing. If any portion of the Property is damaged or destroyed prior to Closing, Purchaser may elect to terminate this Agreement, unless prior to Closing all that damage has been repaired and the Improvements restored or replaced to their condition prior to the damage. If any material portion of the Property is condemned or taken prior to Closing, Purchaser may elect to terminate this Agreement.
(b) Purchaser's election under this Section with respect to any condemnation or taking will be exercised by written notice to Seller within twenty (20) days after written notice from Seller of the condemnation or taking. Purchaser's election under this Section with respect to any damage or destruction not repaired prior to Closing will be exercised by written notice to seller within twenty (20) days of the later to occur of:
(i) written notice from Seller of the damage or destruction and Seller's inability to repair and restore prior to Closing; or
(ii) written notice from Seller's insurance carrier regarding the estimated cost of repair, replacement, or reconstruction and the portion of the repair, replacement, or reconstruction for which insurance proceeds will be made available. The Closing Date will be extended as necessary to give Purchaser time to make the election.
(c) If Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement under this Section, neither party will have any further rights, duties, or obligations. If Purchaser does not elect to terminate this Agreement, this Agreement will remain in full force and the purchase contemplated in this Agreement, less any interest taken by condemnation, will be effected, and at the Closing, Seller will pay the Purchaser the amount of any deductible under Seller's insurance policy and will assign, transfer, and set over to Purchaser all of Seller's right, title, and interest to any condemnation awards or insurance proceeds that have been or that may later be made for the taking or destruction.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
