by action or order of any governmental authority, quasi-governmental authority,
or by any court having jurisdiction in the premises (other than by actual
exercise of the power of eminent domain such that title passes to the condemning
agency) shall not constitute such a taking or condemnation under this Lease that
would entitle Tenant to terminate the Lease, (ii) any such environmental
condemnation or compliance by Landlord with any order, rule or regulation of any
such authority, with any such judicial decree, or any such existing or future
law shall not constitute a default under this Lease by Landlord so as to entitle
Tenant to terminate the Lease and the Lease shall remain in full force and
effect, and (iii) as between Landlord and Tenant, Landlord may but shall not be
obligated to comply with any such order, rule, regulation, judicial decree or
