ARTICLE XVI

Section 1601. Damage by Casualty. In the event of fire or other casualty in or to any portion of the Leased Premises, Tenant shall give prompt notice thereof to Authority.
30
(A) Repair and Restoration.
(1) If, by reason of any casualty cause, the Leased Premises is damaged to such an extent that the Leased Premises are untenantable in whole, or in substantial part, then:
(a) If the repairs and rebuilding necessary to restore the Leased Premises to substantially its condition prior to the occurrence of the damage can, in the reasonable judgment of Authority, be completed within 180 days from the date on which the damage occurred, Authority shall so notify Tenant in writing, and shall proceed promptly with such repairs and rebuilding, and in such event, the rental for the Leased Premises shall be abated pro rata for the period from the date of the occurrence of such damage to the date upon which such repairs and rebuilding are completed.
(b) If such repairs and rebuilding cannot, in the reasonable judgment of Authority be completed with the aforesaid 180 days, Authority or Tenant, at its option, to be evidenced by notice in writing to the other party, may either: (i) proceed promptly with said repairs and rebuilding, in which event Tenant’s rental shall be abated as stated in subparagraph (a) above, or (ii) terminate this Lease Agreement in which event Tenant’s rental shall be abated from and after the date of occurrence of the casualty damage.

31
In the event (i) of a Condemnation with respect to the Leased Premises that exceeds twenty percent (20%) of the Leased Premises, or (ii) the proceeds available to the Authority from the Condemnation (and not applied by any lender to then-outstanding indebtedness) are not, in the Authority’s sole judgment, adequate for the restoration, the Authority shall have the right to terminate this Lease Agreement by written notice to Tenant within thirty (30) days after the vesting of title to the condemned property or the taking of possession of the property by the condemning authority, whichever is earlier. In the event of a Condemnation affecting a portion of the Leased Premises, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease Agreement if more than twenty percent (20%) of the Leased Premises then Occupied by Tenant is taken as part of the Condemnation, by providing written notice of termination to the Authority within thirty (30) days after the vesting of title to the condemned property or the taking of possession of the property by the condemning authority, whichever is earlier. Such termination as to the portion of the Leased Premises that is taken by the condemning authority shall be effective as of, and retroactive to, the earlier of the date when the condemning authority takes possession or the date when title to the condemned property vests in the condemning authority.

(B) Application of Proceeds. The Net Proceeds from the Condemnation may be applied in one or more of the following ways as determined by the Authority:
(1) To the extent neither party terminates this Lease Agreement as provided above, toward the restoration of the Leased Premises (or such portion thereof that were not taken in Condemnation) and Facilities (or such portion thereof that were not taken in Condemnation) to substantially the same condition as existed prior to the exercise of the power of eminent domain, to the extent of Net Proceeds available from the Condemnation (and not applied by any lender to then- outstanding indebtedness);
(2) To the extent neither party terminates this Lease Agreement as provided above, toward the construction or acquisition of other improvements suitable for Tenant’s operations on the remaining portion of the Leased Premises (which improvements shall be deemed a part of the Facilities and available for use and occupancy by Tenant without the payment of any rent other than as herein provided to the same extent as if such other improvements were specifically described herein and demised hereby), to the extent of Net Proceeds available from the Condemnation (and not applied by any lender to then-outstanding indebtedness); or
32
(3) To the extent either party terminates this Lease Agreement as provided above, payment of such proceeds to the Authority.
(C) Condemnation of Tenant’s Personal Property. All compensation awarded for any such taking or conveyance of the Authority’s interest shall be the property of the Authority without deduction therefrom for any present or future estate of Tenant, and Tenant hereby assigns to the Authority all right, title and interest in and to such award. However, Tenant shall have the right to recover from the condemning authority, but not from the Authority, such compensation as may be awarded to Tenant, if applicable, on account of moving and relocation expenses and depreciation to and removal of Tenant’s property.
(D) Taking or Condemnation by the Authority. If the Authority exercises its right of condemnation or eminent domain with respect to all or substantially all of the Leased Premises for the purposes set forth in Section 1301 hereof, the Authority reserves the right, on eighteen (18) months notice, to relocate or replace the Facilities in substantially similar form at another comparable location on the Airport or to replace such portion of the Leased Premises; provided, however, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease Agreement as and to the extent permitted pursuant to Section 1602; and provided further, that if Tenant does not exercise such termination right pursuant to Section 1602, that following such relocation or replacement, the Leased Premises are substantially similar to and can be operated in a manner substantially similar to the Leased Premises prior to such relocation or replacement and Tenant’s Business can be operated in a manner substantially similar to Tenant’s Business prior to such relocation or replacement. The new location shall constitute thereafter the Leased Premises and the facilities or improvements located thereon, and equipment thereof, shall thereafter constitute the Facilities for purposes of this Lease Agreement. The relocation of the Leased Premises shall be at no cost to Tenant and the new Facilities must be ready for occupancy by Tenant prior to the date of required relocation subject to moving Tenant’s Excluded Property and the Equipment to the new relocated Facilities. If the Authority complies with the provisions of this Section, such remedies shall be in lieu of any remedies Tenant may have pursuant to law or equity with respect to the actions taken by the Authority in condemning the Leased Premises or relocating the Leased Premises.
