to time by the Landlord with respect to the Building, the Tenant shall
pay any such increase in premiums as Additional Rent within ten (10) days

the organization computing the insurance rate
Page 194

the Landlord electing to obtain its own financing for such repairs. In
the event that no such proceeds of insurance are available to the
Landlord and if the Landlord elects not to obtain its own financing for
such repairs, then the Landlord shall, by notice in writing to the Tenant
delivered within ten (10) days after receipt of the opinion of the
Landlord's architect, notify the Tenant that the Lease is terminated,

the Landlord may, at its option, terminate this Lease by giving notice of
termination to the Tenant within thirty (30) days of the date of such
casualty and the Tenant shall, with reasonable dispatch and expedition,
but in any event within sixty (60) days
Page 205

required as a result of any such destruction or damage, a dispute shall
arise between the Landlord and the Tenant as to whether or not the Leased

Lease, the Landlord may, at its option, terminate this Lease by giving
thirty (30) days notice to the Tenant and if such notice shall be given
this Lease shall, at the expiration of such period, be at an end and the
