obligation to restore the Leased Premises or the Building to exactly the same condition and state as they existed before any damage

contained in this Lease to the contrary and specifically, notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 13.1 or 13.2, if the Building

be repaired, restored or rebuilt within twelve (12) months following the occurrence; or



 



		(b)	The costs as estimated by the Lessor, of repairing, restoring or rebuilding the
damaged or destroyed portions will exceed the proceeds of insurance available for repairing, restoring or rebuilding such portions,

elect to terminate this Lease.


 


13.5 If the Lessor elects to terminate this Lease,

prejudice to any pre-existing claims of the Parties.
	 	 	 





		(b)	If the Leased Premises have been rendered only partly un-tenantable and the Lessee
has occupied or has been reasonably capable of occupying any part of the Leased Premises since the date of the damage or destruction,
the Lease will terminate ten (10) days from receipt of the Lessor’s notice. All unabated Base Rent and Additional Rent and other items
of Rent will be adjusted to that date, and only the Base Rent and such items of Rent as are covered by the Lessor’s rental insurance policy
will abate from the date of the damage or destruction until the date of termination in the proportion that the floor area of that portion
of the Leased Premises rendered un-tenantable bears to the Net Area, without prejudice to any pre-existing claims of the Parties.
	 	 	 





		(c)	If any damage or destruction contemplated by this Article
13 is caused by the fault, neglect or want of skill of the Lessee, its officers, agents, employees, contractors, sub-contractors, servants,
visitors, customers, invitees or licensees or those under its care and control, then without prejudice to the rights of subrogation of
the Lessor’s insurers, the Lessee shall be liable for all costs and damages to the Lessor and other tenants of the Building as
a result of such damage, all of which damage may be repaired by the Lessor at the Lessee’s expense. In no event shall there be

withheld or unduly delayed. All such alterations, additions or improvements made by the Lessee under the terms of the present
section shall be promptly executed by contractors or subcontractors reasonably acceptable to the Lessor (without the Lessor thereby
being in any way liable for any damage or other loss or deficiency arising from or through such work) in accordance with the

conflicting contractor or contractors and their employees. The Lessee shall Maintain adequate general liability insurance for the
protection of the Lessor and the Lessee as the Lessor may reasonably require. Nothing herein contained may be so interpreted as to

rise to a legal hypothec on the Building;


 


14.4 Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the value of the Leased Premises shall not, as a result of any work proposed to be carried out by the Lessee, be less
than the value of the Leased Premises before the commencement of such work and the Lessor shall the sole judge of such value. If the
cost of any work shall be in excess of FIFTEEN THOUSAND DOLLARS ($15,000.00) as reasonably estimated by the Lessor, the
Lessor may require the Lessee to furnish security satisfactory to the Lessor guaranteeing the completion of the work and the payment
of the cost thereof free and clear of all conditional bills of sale, pledges, privileges, workmen’s and suppliers’ liens and legal
hypothecs. All work, when completed, shall be comprised in and form part of the Leased Premises and shall be subject to all the
provisions of this Lease. Any connection of apparatus to the electrical system other than a connection to an existing base
receptacle, any connection of apparatus to the plumbing lines, or any connection to the heating and/or air-conditioning system,

at the option of the Lessor, either remove all or any specified portion of the Lessee’s Work and alterations, additions or improvements
performed or constructed by the Lessee or by the Lessor on the Lessee’s behalf and restore the Leased Premises to substantially
the same condition in which the same were found prior to the performance or constriction of any such Lessee’s Work, alterations,
additions or improvements (save for such Lessee’s Work, alterations, additions or improvements as the Lessor permits to remain).
With the exception of any improvements or renovations to the space constituting office area which the Lessee shall not remove and shall
remain on the Leased Premises, or abandon the Leased Premises and surrender ownership and possession of the Lessee’s Work and such
alterations, additions and improvements to the Lessor. In neither case will the Lessee be entitled to receive any compensation or indemnity

legal hypothec filed against the Leased Premises or the Building for work claimed to have been done or materials furnished to the
Lessee shall be discharged by the Lessee within Ten (10) days thereafter at the Lessee’s expense. In the event that the Lessee shall
fail to cause any such legal hypothec to be discharged forthwith after being notified of the filing thereof, then, in addition to
any other right or remedy of the Lessor, the Lessor may, but shall not be obliged to discharge the same by paying the amount claimed

own cost and expense, to defend the Lessor therein, by counsel satisfactory to the Lessor, and to pay any damages and satisfy and
