16. DAMAGE, DESTRUCTION OR CONDEMNATION. If all or a substantial part of the Premises or the Building is rendered untenable or inaccessible by damage to all or any part thereof from fire, the elements, accident or other casualty (“Casualty”) then, unless Landlord elects to terminate this Lease as provided below, Landlord shall, at its expense, use reasonable efforts to repair and restore the Premises and the Building, as the case may be, to substantially their former condition to the extent permitted by then applicable laws; provided, however, that in no event shall Landlord have any obligation: (i) to make repairs or restoration beyond the extent of insurance proceeds actually received by Landlord for such repairs or restoration; or (ii) to repair or restore any of Tenant’s personal property, trade fixtures, equipment or alterations made by Tenant. If Landlord is required to repair damage to the Premises or the Building, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect except that: (x) Tenant’s Base Rental from the date of the Casualty through the date of substantial completion of the repair and restoration shall be equitably abated with regard to any portion of the Premises or the Building that Tenant is prevented from using (and actually interferes with Tenant’s use and business) by reason of such damage or its repair; and (y) the Term shall be extended by the number of days necessary to substantially complete the repair and restoration. In no event shall Landlord be liable to Tenant by reason of any injury to or interference with Tenant’s business or property arising from a Casualty or by reason of any repairs to any part of the Building or Premises necessitated by such Casualty. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord may elect, by written notice to Tenant, to terminate this Lease following damage caused by any Casualty under the following circumstances: (a) if, in Landlord’s sole judgment, the Premises and the Building cannot be substantially repaired and restored under applicable laws within one hundred twenty (120) days from the date of the Casualty; (b) if, in Landlord’s sole judgment, adequate proceeds are not, for any reason, made available to Landlord from Landlord’s insurance policies to make the required repairs; (c) if fitly percent (50%) or more of the Premises (excluding the Building) is damaged or destroyed; (d) if seventy percent (70%) or more of the Building is damaged or destroyed (including, without limitation, by smoke or water damage), regardless of whether the remainder of the Premises are damaged or destroyed; (e) if the cost to repair or restore the Premises would exceed the proceeds from Landlord’s insurance policies or the Casualty is an uninsured casualty; or (f) if the Casualty occurs during the last eighteen (18) months of the Term, unless Tenant has elected to exercise an available Renewal Option.

 

If during the Term, the whole of the Premises is condemned, or is taken by the power of eminent domain, or there shall occur a transfer in lieu thereof (each a “Taking”), the Lease shall terminate as of the date of such Taking and rent shall be apportioned to the date of the Taking, and Tenant shall surrender the Premises accordingly. In the event of a partial Taking, the Lease at Landlord’s sole option may, upon written notice to Tenant, terminate and rent shall be apportioned to the date of the Taking and Tenant shall surrender the Premises accordingly. In the event of a partial Taking of the Premises in which Landlord does not terminate the Lease as provided above, Landlord shall make such repairs and restorations to the Premises as necessitated from such Taking so as to render the Premises useable by Tenant for its intended purpose, provided, however, Landlord shall not be required to expend any sums in addition to compensation received from the Taking authority to so restore or repair the Premises. During the period of such restoration or repair, if Tenant shall be prevented from utilizing the Premises to conduct its business operations, then Base Rental shall equitably abate during the period of such repairs or restoration, and there shall correspondingly be added to the Term the number of days necessary to substantially complete the repairs or restoration. All compensation in any Taking shall be the sole property of Landlord. Damage to the Premises resulting from the negligence of Tenant or its employees or invitees shall be repaired at the expense of Tenant.

Tenant shall repaint, refurbish and remodel the Premises at reasonable times to assure that the Premises are maintained in good order, condition and repair equal to that at the completion of Tenant’s initial work and improvements.

 

In the event Tenant fails to repair or maintain the Premises as herein required, or in the event of an emergency, Landlord, at its option, without limiting any rights or remedies otherwise available to it at law or equity or under the terms of this Lease, may (but shall not be required to) make such repairs without liability to Tenant for loss or damage which may result to Tenant’s stock or business conducted from the Premises by reason of such repairs. Tenant shall immediately pay Landlord, upon demand, as additional rent, the costs of any such repairs.

Such re-entry and suspension, and the changing of locks, shall not operate as an eviction or cancellation of this Lease. The waiver by Landlord of any default shall not be a waiver or consent to the continuation of such default or to a subsequent default.

 

22. ATTORNEY’S FEES. If either party brings any action or proceeding to enforce, protect, or establish any right or remedy, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorney’s fees. Arbitration is an action or proceeding for the purpose of this provision. For the purposes hereof, Landlord shall be deemed to have prevailed in any unlawful detainer if the action is dismissed by reason of Tenant’s curing of the default upon which such action was based. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord any and all costs, including attorney fees, incurred by Landlord in collecting any delinquent payment due from Tenant hereunder whether action is instituted therefore or not.
