their condition as existed before such damage or destruction with rent being
reduced pro rata in proportion to the decrease in usefulness of the Leased

act or omission of the Tenant or Tenant's employee or agent or invitee, then
Landlord at it's option may repair or restore the Leased
Page 6 of 15
Premises, the cost of which shall be paid for by Tenant in installments or in

(A) If any or all of the Leased Premises are taken by the exercise of any
power of eminent domain or are conveyed to or at the direction of any
governmental entity under a threat of any such taking (each of which is
hereinafter referred to as a "Condemnation"), the Landlord shall be entitled to
collect from the condemning authority thereunder the entire amount of any award
made in any such proceeding or as consideration for such Deed, without deduction
therefrom for any leasehold or other estate held by the Tenant by virtue of this
Lease.
(B) The Tenant hereby (i) assigns to the Landlord all of the Tenant's
right, title and interest, if any, in and to any such award, (ii) waives any
right which it may otherwise have in connection with such Condemnation, against
the Landlord or such condemning authority, to any payment for (a) the value of
the then unexpired portion of the term, (b) leasehold damages, and (c) any
damage to or diminution of the value of the Tenant's leasehold interest
hereunder or any portion of the Premises not covered by such Condemnation; and
(iii) agrees to execute any and all further documents which may be required in
order to facilitate the Landlord's collection of any and all such awards.
(C) Subject to the operation and effect of the foregoing provisions of
this section, the Tenant may seek, in a separate proceeding, a separate award on
account of any damages of costs incurred by the Tenant as a result of such
Condemnation, so long as such separate award in no way diminishes any award or
payment which the Landlord would otherwise receive as a result of such
Condemnation.
(17.2) EFFECT OF CONDEMNATION

(ii) if any part of the Leased Premises is covered by a Condemnation and the
remainder thereof is insufficient for the reasonable operation therein of the
Tenant's business, or (iii) any of the Leased Premises is covered by a
Condemnation and, in the Landlord's reasonable opinion, it would be impractical
to restore the remainder thereof, then, in any such event, the Lease shall
terminate on the date upon which

is taken by the condemning authority thereunder, and all rent (including, by way
of example rather then of limitation, any Additional Rent payable pursuant to
any Addendum regarding Additional Rent), taxes, and other charges payable
hereunder shall be prorated and paid to such date.
(B) If there is a Condemnation and the Term does not terminate pursuant to
the foregoing provisions of this subsection, the operation and effect of this
Lease shall be unaffected by such Condemnation, except that the Base Rent and
the Additional Rent shall be reduced in proportion to the square footage of
floor area, if any, of the Leased Premises covered by such Condemnation.
(17.3) If there is Condemnation, the Landlord shall have no liability to
the Tenant on account of any (i) interruption of the Tenant's business upon the
Leased Premises, (ii) diminution in the Tenant's ability to use the Leased
Premises, or (iii) other injury or damage sustained by the Tenant as a result of
such Condemnation.
(17.4) Except for any separate proceeding brought by the Tenant under the
provisions of paragraph 17.1 (C), the Landlord shall be entitled to conduct any
such Condemnation proceeding and any settlement thereof free of interference
from the Tenant, and the Tenant hereby waives any right it might otherwise have
to participate therein.

Agent that if Tenant, its successors or assigns shall at any time during the

shall proceed with
Page 6 of 15
due diligence to repair and restore the Leased Premises to their condition as
existed before such damage or destruction with rent being reduced pro rata in
proportion to the decrease in usefulness of the Leased Premises during repairs
and restoration. If such damage is the result of the act or omission of the
Tenant or Tenant's employee or agent or invitee, then Landlord at it's option
may repair or restore the Leased Premises, the cost of which shall be paid for
by Tenant in installments or in whole upon notice thereof being given to
Tenant by Landlord.

original term and all renewals or extensions thereof, Landlord shall have the
right to place "For Rent" and/or "For Sale" signs in conspicuous places on the
Leased Premises and to otherwise advertise the Leased Premised "For Rent" and/or

herein. Tenant shall do no act or omission which interferes with Landlord's
rights to reentry and inspection.
(17) EMINENT DOMAIN
(17.1) RIGHT TO AWARD
(A) If any or all of the Leased Premises are taken by exercise of any
power of eminent domain or are conveyed to or at the direction of any
governmental entity under a threat of any such taking (each of which is
hereinafter referred to as a "Condemnation"), the Landlord shall be entitled to
collect from the condemning authority thereunder the entire amount of any award
made in any such proceeding or as consideration for such Deed, without deduction
therefrom for any Leasehold or other estate held by the Tenant by virtue of this
Lease.
(B) The Tenant hereby (i) assigns to the Landlord all of the Tenant's
right, title and interest, if any, in and to any such award, (ii) waives any
right which it may otherwise have in connection with such Condemnation, against
the Landlord or such condemning authority, to any payment for (a) the value of
the then unexpired portion of the term, (b) leasehold damages, and (c) any
damage to or diminution of the value of the Tenant's leasehold interest
hereunder or any portion of the Premises not covered by such Condemnation; and
(iii) agrees to execute any and all further documents which may be required in
order to facilitate the Landlord's collection of any and all such awards.
(C) Subject to the operation and effect of the foregoing provisions of
this section, the Tenant may seek, in a separate proceeding, a separate award on
account of any damages of costs incurred by the Tenant as a result of such
Condemnation, so long as such separate award in no way diminishes any award or
payment which the Landlord would otherwise receive as a result of such
Condemnation.
(17.2) EFFECT OF CONDEMNATION
(A) If (i) all of the Leased Premises are covered by a Condemnation,
or (ii) if any part of the Leased Premises is covered by a Condemnation and the
remainder
Page 7 of 15
thereof is insufficient for the reasonable operation therein of the Tenant's
business, or (iii) any of the Leased Premises is covered by a Condemnation and,
in the Landlord's reasonable opinion, it would be impractical to restore the
remainder there of then, in any such event, the Lease shall terminate on the
date upon which possession of so much of the Leased Premises as is covered by
such Condemnation is taken by the condemning authority thereunder, and all rent
(including, by way of example rather then of limitation, and Additional Rent
payable pursuant to any Addendum regarding Additional Rent), taxes, and other
charges payable hereunder shall be prorated and paid to such date.
(B) If there is a Condemnation and the Term does not terminate pursuant
to the foregoing provisions of this subsection, the operation and effect of this
Lease shall be unaffected by such Condemnation, except that the Base Rent and
the Additional Rent shall be reduced in proportion to the square footage of
floor area, if any, of the Leased Premises covered by such Condemnation.
(17.3) If there is Condemnation, the Landlord shall have no liability to
the Tenant on account of any (i) interruption of the Tenant's business upon the
Leased Premises, (ii) diminution in the Tenant's ability to use the Leased
Premises, or (iii) other injury or damage sustained by the Tenant as a result of
such Condemnation.
(17.4) Except for any separate proceeding brought by the Tenant under the
provisions of paragraph 17.1 (C), the Landlord shall be entitled to conduct any
such Condemnation proceeding and any settlement thereof free of interference
from the Tenant, and the Tenant hereby waives any right it might otherwise have
to participate therein.
