Except where the damage or destruction results from the wrongful or negligent act or omission of Tenant, the Minimum Rent shall be abated proportionately with the degree to which Tenant’s use of the Premises is impaired during the period of any damage, repair or restoration provided for in this Article 20; provided further, that in the event Landlord elects to repair any damages as herein contemplated, any abatement of Minimum Rent shall end ten (10) days after notice by Landlord to Tenant that the Premises have been repaired. Tenant shall continue the operation of its business on the Premises during any such period to the extent reasonably practicable from the standpoint of prudent business management, and any obligation of Tenant under the Lease to apply charges reserved as Additional Rent or Percentage Rent shall remain in full force and nothing in the Section shall be construed to xxxxx Additional Rent or Percentage Rent.

In such event of a partial taking, described hereinabove, from the effective date that physical possession is taken by the condemning authority through the end of the term of this Lease, the annual Minimum Rent payable by Tenant to Landlord shall be reduced by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the gross area of the premises so taken by the condemning authority and the denominator of which shall be the gross area of the Premises on the date immediately prior to the effective date of such taking.
If less than twenty (20%) percent of the parking areas in the Center shall be acquired or condemned by eminent domain for any public or quasi-public use or purpose, or if more than twenty (20%) percent of the parking areas shall be so acquired or condemned, but Tenant shall not elect to cancel and terminate this Lease, then the Landlord shall restore the parking areas to a condition reasonably comparable under the circumstances to its condition at the time of such condemnation, less the portion lost in the taking. In such event, this Lease shall be and remain in full force and effect and no reduction of Minimum Rent, Percentage Rent or any Additional Rent payable by Tenant under this Lease shall be allowed in such circumstances, but Tenant shall continue to pay the full Minimum Rent, Percentage Rent, or any Additional Rent payable under this Lease for the balance of the term hereof.

2. Terminate Tenant’s right to possession but not the Lease and/or proceed in accordance with any and all provisions of paragraph B below.
Landlord’s Remedies. Landlord may without further notice reenter the Premises either by force or otherwise and dispossess Tenant by summary proceedings or otherwise, as well as the legal representatives) of Tenant and/or other occupants) of the Premises, and remove their effects and hold the Premises as if this Lease had not
been made, and Tenant hereby waives the service of notice of intention to re-enter or to institute legal proceedings to that end; and/or at Landlord’s option.
All Rent and all Additional Rent for the balance of the Term will, at the election of Landlord, be accelerated and the present worth of same for the balance of the Lease Term, net of amounts actually collected by Landlord, shall become immediately due thereupon and be paid, together with all expenses of every nature which Landlord may incur such as (by way of illustration and not limitation) those for attorneys’ fees, brokerage, advertising, and refurbishing the Premises in good order or preparing them for re-rental. For purposes of this clause (2), “present worth” shall be computed by discounting such amount to present worth at a discount rate equal to one percentage point above the discount rate then in effect at the Federal Reserve Bank nearest to the location of the Center. If such termination shall take place after the expiration of two or more Lease Years, then, for purposes of computing the accelerated Rent, the Annual Percentage Rent payable with respect to each Lease Year following termination (including the Lease Year in which such termination shall take place) shall be conclusively presumed to be equal to the average Annual Percentage Rent payable with respect to each complete Lease Year preceding termination. If such termination shall take place before the expiration of two Lease Years, then, for purposes of computing the accelerated Rent, the Annual Percentage Rent payable with respect to each Lease Year following termination (including the Lease Year in which such the unexpired Term shall be conclusively presumed to be a sum equal to twenty-five percent (25%) of the annual Minimum Rent due and payable during such unexpired Term; and/or at Landlord’s option.

Tenant or its legal representatives will also pay to Landlord as liquidated damages any deficiency between the Rent and all Additional Rent hereby reserved and/or agreed to be paid and the net amount, if any, of the rents collected on account of the lease or leases of the Premises for each month of the period which would otherwise have constituted the balance of the Lease Term.
If Landlord exercises the remedy above, and provided that Tenant has paid Landlord the accelerated Rent as required by this paragraph, Landlord shall remit to Tenant on a monthly basis until the Expiration Date any amounts actually collected by Landlord as a result of a re-letting remaining after subtracting therefrom all reasonable costs paid by Landlord to secure a replacement tenant including reasonable marketing/leasing costs, fees and commissions, and costs of preparing improvements and refurbishment to the Premises for the replacement tenant. In no event shall the total amount paid to Tenant pursuant to the preceding sentence exceed the accelerated Rent paid by Tenant to Landlord. If this Lease is terminated pursuant to Section 23.5(A) (2)
Landlord may re-let the Premises or any part thereof, alone or together with other premises, for such term or terms (which may be greater or less than the period which otherwise would have constituted the balance of the Term) and on such terms and conditions (which may include concessions or free rent and alterations of the Premises) as Landlord, in its sole discretion, may determine, but Landlord shall not be liable for nor shall Tenant’s obligations hereunder be diminished by reason of, any failure by Landlord to re-let the Premises or any failure by Landlord to collect any rent due upon such re-letting.
