Similar notifications shall be given to Landlord not less than thirty (30) days prior to the commencement of any proposed alterations, additions or improvements to the Premises. If Tenant fails to comply, with the foregoing provisions, any loss or damage Landlord shall sustain by reason thereof shall be borne by Tenant and shall be paid immediately by Tenant upon receipt of a xxxx therefore and evidence of such loss, and in addition to any other rights or remedies reserved by Landlord under this Lease, Landlord’s obligations under this Article to repair, replace and/or rebuild the Premises shall be deemed inapplicable, and in lieu thereof, Landlord may, at its election, either restore or require Tenant to restore the Premises to the condition which existed prior to such loss, and in either case Tenant shall pay the cost of such restoration. Tenant covenants and agrees to repair or replace Tenant’s fixtures, furniture, furnishings, floor coverings, equipment and stock in trade and reopen for business in the Premises within thirty (30) days after notice from Landlord that the Premises are ready for re-occupancy. No damage or destruction to the Premises shall allow Tenant to surrender possession of the Premises nor affect Tenant’s liability for the payment of rents or charges or any other covenant herein contained, except as may be specifically provided in this Lease. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section or elsewhere in this Lease, Landlord, at its option, may terminate this Lease by giving Tenant notice thereof within one hundred and eighty (180) days from the date of the casualty if: (a) The Premises or the building in which the Premises are located shall be damaged or destroyed as a result of an occurrence which is not covered by Landlord’s insurance; or (b) The Premises shall be damaged or destroyed during the last two (2) years of the Term or any renewals thereof; or (c) The Premises are damaged or destroyed to the extent of twenty five-percent (25%) or more of the replacement cost thereof, in which event Landlord will have the option of terminating this Lease or any renewal thereof by serving written notice upon Tenant and any prepaid Rent or Additional Rent will be prorated as of the date of destruction and the unearned portion of such Rent will be refunded to Tenant without interest.

  • Casualty Damage With reasonable promptness after discovering any damage to the Premises, or to the Common Areas necessary for access to the Premises, resulting from any fire or other casualty (a “Casualty”), Landlord shall notify Tenant of Landlord’s reasonable estimate of the time required to substantially complete repair of such damage (the “Landlord Repairs”). If, according to such estimate, the Landlord Repairs cannot be substantially completed within 180 days after they are commenced, either party may terminate this Lease upon 60 days’ notice to the other party delivered within 10 days after Landlord’s delivery of such estimate.

If this Lease is not terminated pursuant to this Section 11, Landlord shall promptly and diligently perform the Landlord Repairs, subject to reasonable delays for insurance adjustment and other events of Force Majeure. The Landlord Repairs shall restore the Premises and the Common Areas necessary for access to the Premises to substantially the same condition that existed when the Casualty occurred, except for (a) any modifications required by Law or any Security Holder, and (b) any modifications to the Common Areas that are deemed desirable by Landlord, are consistent with the character of the Project, and do not materially impair access to the Premises.

No Casualty and no restoration performed as required hereunder shall render Landlord liable to Tenant, constitute a constructive eviction, or excuse Tenant from any obligation hereunder; provided, however, that if the Premises or any Common Area necessary for Tenant’s access to the Premises is damaged by a Casualty, then, during any time that, as a result of such damage, any portion of the Premises is untenantable or inaccessible and is not occupied by Tenant, Monthly Rent shall be abated in proportion to the rentable square footage of such portion of the Premises.
