taken in any such proceedings and the remaining portion shall not
be suitable or adequate for the uses and purposes for which the
Property is being utilized by Tenant, then, and in any such
-5-
event, this lease shall terminate on the date of such taking, and
any rental payment paid in advance shall be apportioned and
promptly refunded to Tenant.

taking, the rental shall be diminished by an amount representing
the part of the rental applicable to that portion, if any, of the
Property which is so condemned or taken.
All compensation awarded or paid upon a total or partial
taking of the Property, including the value of the leasehold
estate created hereby, shall belong to and be the property of
Landlord without any participation by Tenant; provided, however,

prosecuting any claim directly against the condemning authority
for loss of business, and/or depreciation to, damage to, and/or
cost of removal of and/or for the value of stock and/or trade
fixtures, furniture and other personal property belonging to
Tenant; provided, however, that no such claim shall diminish or
otherwise adversely affect Landlord's award or other awards of
any and all grounds and underlying landlords or mortgagees.

affect the use and maintenance thereof, provided, however, that
the Tenant may (but shall not be obligated to) in its own or
Landlord's name, in good faith, contest any such order,
regulation, ordinance or law, and during the period of such
contest Tenant shall not be deemed to be in default hereunder so
long as Landlord shall be held harmless from any loss, expense,
or penalty resulting therefrom.
