Building and Demised Premises (but not any property owner by
Tenant and removable by it at the end of the term, all of which
shall be the responsibility of Tenant to repair and restore) to
the condition thereof that existed immediately prior to such
damage or destruction consistent with zoning laws and building
codes then in existence except for Tenant's property which shall
be the responsibility of Tenant to repair and restore. As soon
as reasonably possible, Tenant shall restore and replace its
property consistent with Tenant's intended use of the Demised
Premises.
Such damage or destruction shall in no way annul or void this Lease, except that
Tenant shall be entitled to a proportionate reduction of rent and additional
rents and charges until such repairs and restoration are complete, such
proportionate reduction to be based upon the extent to which such damage or
destruction and the making of such repairs and restoration shall interfere with
the use conducted by Tenant in the Demised Premises.
DELAY IN REBUILDING. In the event Owner does not complete its repair and
restoration work within one hundred (180) after such damage or destruction
(herein called the "Restoration Period"), Tenant, as its option, may terminate
this Lease by giving written notice thereof to Owner at any time prior to
completion of reconstruction. The aforesaid Restoration Period shall NOT be
extended by reason of force majeure notwithstanding anything contained in this
Lease to the contrary.
OPTION TO TERMINATE. In the event of material damage (i.e., 25% of the
replacement cost of the Demised Premises) during the last two years of the term,
either Owner or Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease on thirty

insurance (at least as broad as ISO's Special Form) with respect to the Building
for the replacement cost thereof.
WAIVER OF SUBROGATION. Each party, on behalf of itself and on behalf of anyone
claiming under or through it by way of subrogation or otherwise, waives all
rights and causes of action against the other party, and the officers,
employees, agents and invitees of the other party, for any liability arising out
of any loss or damage in or to the Demised Premises, its contents and other
property owned or controlled by Owner caused by:
(i) any peril normally covered under all-risk policies issued in the
geographic area in which the Demised Premises is located (whether
or not such party actually carries such insurance policies), or
(ii) if the scope of coverage is broader than in (i) above, then any
peril actually covered under the insurance maintained by such
party.
This release and waiver shall be complete and total even if such loss or damage
may have been caused by the negligence of the other party, its officers,
employees, agents or invitees and shall not be affected or limited by the amount
of insurance proceeds available to the waiving party, regardless of the reason
for such deficiency in proceeds. If any additional charge or increase in premium
is made by the insurer because of this waiver of subrogation, them the party in
whose favor the waiver was obtained shall pay such additional charge or increase
in premium; failure to pay the increase in premium will void the release and
waiver benefiting such party but shall not effect the benefit of the
corresponding release and waiver enjoyed by the other party. However, if one
party's insurance carrier prohibits waiver of subrogation regardless of premium,
then the other party's release and waiver shall become null and void, it being
understood that in this instance each waiver is given consideration fir the
other. Each party covenants that from and after the date possession of the
Demised Premises is delivered to Tenant its property insurance policies will
contain waiver of subrogation endorsements, and that if such endorsements, for
what ever reason whatsoever, are about to become unavailable, it will give the
other party not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice of such
impending unavailability.

installations or interfere with the use thereof by other tenants of the

no wise make landlord liable or responsible to tenant, for any loss, damages or
expenses which tenant may sustain, except if due to the negligence or willful
acts of landlord, its agents, employees or contractors.
