Further, should Landlord, at its sole option, make available to Tenant, during the period of such repair, other space in the Building which is reasonably suitable for the temporary carrying on of Tenant's business, the Rent shall be reinstated with respect to such temporarily occupied space and shall be payable by Tenant from the date such space is occupied by Tenant.
