Landlord shall diligently repair or restore the Premises as soon as reasonably
possible to substantially return to the condition in which the Premises existed
immediately prior to such damage or destruction after adjustment of the

notice delivered to the other party within thirty (30) days of written notice of
delayed repair, to terminate this Lease. If Landlord and Tenant determine that
the Premises can be fully repaired or restored within such three hundred sixty
(360) day period, or if it is determined that such repair or restoration cannot
be made within such period, but neither party elects to terminate this Lease
within the aforementioned thirty (30) days, then this Lease shall remain in full
force and effect and Landlord shall diligently repair and restore the damage or
destruction as soon as reasonably possible.

days of such casualty, terminate this Lease by written notice to Tenant,
effective as of the date of such casualty. If Landlord does not elect to
terminate this Lease, then this Lease

casualty by giving written notice thereof to the other party within thirty (30)
days after the date of the casualty.
ARTICLE 9
EMINENT DOMAIN
9.1 TOTAL OR PARTIAL TAKING. If seventy-five percent (75%) or more of
the Building and/or seventy-five percent (75%) or more of the Premises used for
parking is taken by any lawful power or authority by exercise of the right of
appropriation, condemnation or eminent domain, or sold to prevent such taking,

condemning authority and Rent shall be prorated to the date of such termination.
If this Lease is not terminated pursuant to the preceding sentence, Landlord
shall, to the extent of any condemnation proceeds recovered by Landlord,
promptly restore the Premises to a condition comparable to its condition as
existed immediately prior to such condemnation, less the portion thereof lost in
such condemnation, and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect,

the portion of the Premises taken as compared to the portion of the Premises
remaining.
