1a <br />Notwithstanding any provision in this Lease to the contrary, and to the extent permitted by law, <br />Lessor hereby waives and releases unto Lessee and its successors and assigns, and Lessee hereby waives and <br />releases unto Lessor and its successors and assigns, any and all rights to claim or assert any claim for <br />damages resulting from any injury, loss, cost or damage suffered by any person or to the Premises which is <br />occasioned by fire, explosion, accident, occurrence or condition in, on or about the Premises or any other <br />casualty; provided, however, that the full amount of such injury, loss, cost or damage has been paid to Lessor, <br />Lessee or any other person, firm or corporation, under, the terms of any fire, extended coverage, public <br />liability or other policy of insurance. All policies of insurance carried or maintained pursuant to this Lease <br />shall contain or be endorsed to contain a provision whereby the insurer waives all rights of subrogation <br />against either Lessor or Lessee, as applicable. <br />Section 4.05 Casualty Loss. In the event the Premises are wholly destroyed and/or rendered <br />untenantable .by fire or other casualty not the result of any wrongful or negligent act or omission of Lessee, <br />either party may, by written notice delivered to the other party not later than thirty (30) days after the date of <br />such casualty, terminate this Lease. In the event of any termination of this Lease pursuant to this Section, the <br />monthly installment of Annual Rent paid for the month in which the casualty occurred shall be prorated as of <br />the date the casualty occurred and any portion of the prorated monthly installment of Annual Rent paid by <br />Lessee and applicable to that portion of the month following the casualty shall be refunded to Lessee. <br />In the event the Premises are damaged by fire or other casualty, but not wholly destroyed and/or <br />rendered untenantable, but Lessee is nevertheless reasonably required to discontinue its business and/or <br />operations in the Premises for any period prior to the completion of repairs and restoration, payment of. <br />monthly installments of Annual Rent shall abate during such period. In the event Lessee is able to continue <br />its business and/or operations in the Premises during the period of repair and restoration, Rent shall be <br />adjusted and prorated, if at all, in the same proportion that the total unusable area of the Premises, if any, <br />bears to the total area of the Premises. Lessor shall not, in any event, be liable for any loss, injury or <br />damages, consequential or otherwise, suffered by Lessee. In the event the damage to the Premises is such <br />that Lessor concludes that repair and restoration of the Premises cannot be completed within one hundred <br />fifty (150) days after the date of the casualty, Lessor shall so notify Lessee, in writing, not later than sixty (60) <br />days after such fire or other casualty, and either party may thereafter terminate this Lease by written notice <br />delivered to the other party not later than thirty (30) days after the date on which Lessor delivers written <br />notice to Lessee that repair and restoration cannot be completed within one hundred fifty (150) days. If the <br />Premises are damaged by cause due to any fault or neglect of Lessee, its agents, employees, invitees, or <br />licensees, Lessor may repair such damage without prejudice to any subrogation rights of Lessor's insurer, and <br />there shall be no apportionment or abatement of any Rent. <br />Section 4.06 Condemnation. In the event the Premises shall be taken for public use by any city, <br />state, county, federal or other public authority, or by any corporation or entity having the power of eminent <br />domain, this Lease shall terminate on the date on which possession of the Premises is taken for public use, or, <br />at the option of Lessee, on the date on which the Premises shall become unsuitable for Lessee's business by <br />reason of such taking; provided, however, that if only a part of the Premises are so taken, any termination of <br />this Lease shall be at Lessee's option only. In the event a partial taking of the Premises occurs and Lessee <br />elects not to terminate this Lease, all Rent and other costs and expenses due hereunder shall be reduced <br />proportionally. Such reductions shall be effective as of the date possession is taken for public use. Lessor <br />shall have the sole and exclusive right to participate in any award for a public or private taking; provided, <br />however, that Lessee shall be permitted to apply for a condemnation award based on the value of any trade <br />fixtures which are the property of Lessee and which are taken for public purposes, as well as for any <br />relocation assistance that may be available. <br />-10-
