comparable to its condition at the time of such condemnation less the portion
lost in the taking, and this lease shall continue in full force and effect
without any reduction or abatement of rent.

SECTION 15.06. TENANT'S DAMAGES
Although all damages in the event of any condemnation are to belong to the Owner
whether such damages are awarded as compensation for dimunition in value of the

compensation as may be separately awarded or recoverable by Tenant in Tenant's
owner right on account of any and all damage to Tenant's business by reason of

be put in removing Tenant's merchandise, furniture, fixtures, leasehold
improvements and equipment, or for any other claims the Tenant may have.
SECTION 15.07 CONDEMNATION OF LESS THAN A FEE
In the event of a condemnation of a leasehold interest in all or a portion of
the leased premises without the condemnation of the fee simple title also, this
lease shall not terminate and such condemnation shall not excuse Tenant from

shall be entitled to present or pursue against the condemning authority its
claim for and to receive all compensation or damages sustained by it by reason
of such condemnation, and Owner's right to recover compensation or damages shall
be limited to compensation for and damages if any, to its reversionary interest;
it being understood, however, that during such time as Tenant shall be out of
possession of the leased premises by reason of such condemnation, the lease
shall not be subject to forfeiture for failure to observe and perform those
covenants not calling for the payment of money. In the event the condemning
authority shall fail to keep the premises in the state of repair required
hereunder, or to perform any other covenant not calling for the payment of
money, Tenant shall have ninety (90) days after the restoration of possession to
it within which to carry out its obligations under such covenant or covenants.

other payments required of Tenant hereunder, an annual rent equal to the average
annual minimum and percentage rents paid by Tenant for the period from the
commencement of the term until the condemning authority shall take possession,
or during the preceding three full calendar years, whichever period is shorter.
At any time after such condemnation proceedings are commenced, Owner shall have
the right, at its option, to require Tenant to assign to Owner all compensation
and damages payable by the condemnor to Tenant, to be held without liability for
interest thereon as security for the full performance of Tenant's covenants
hereunder, such compensation and damages received pursuant to said assignment to
be applied first to the payment of rents and all other sums from time to time
payable by Tenant pursuant to the terms of this lease as such sums fall due, and
the remainder, if any, to be payable to Tenant at the end of the term hereof or
on restoration of possession to Tenant, whichever shall first occur, it being
understood and agreed that such assignment shall not relieve Tenant of any of
its obligations under this lease with respect to such rents, and other sums
except as the same shall be actually received by Owner.

from such reletting during any month be less than that to be paid during that
month by Tenant hereunder, Tenant shall pay any such deficiency to Owner. Such
deficiency shall be calculated and paid monthly. No such re-entry or taking
possession of said premises by Owner shall be construed as an election on its
part to terminate this lease unless a written notice of such intention be given
to Tenant or unless the termination thereof be decreed by a court of competent
jurisdiction. Notwithstanding any such reletting without termination, Owner may
at any time thereafter elect to terminate this lease for such previous breach.

other remedies it may have, it may recover from Tenant all damages it may incur

termination of the excess, if any, of the amount of rent and charges equivalent

Tenant to Owner. In determining the rent which would be payable by Tenant
hereunder, subsequent to default, the annual rent for each year of the unexpired
term shall be equal to the average annual minimum and percentage rents paid by
Tenant from the commencement of the term to the time of default, or during the
preceding three full calendar years, whichever period is shorter. Owner shall
have a good faith obligation to mitigate the damages caused by such failure(s)
of Tenant.
