However, in the event of less damage that is reasonably expected to be capable of being substantially repaired within one hundred fifty (150) days, Lessee shall not have the right to terminate this Lease.

			14.      CONDEMNATION.  In the event all or any part of the Premises should become subject to eminent domain proceedings, and, if pursuant thereto, an amount of the Premises shall be condemned so as to render the residue reasonably inadequate for the operation of Lessee's business thereon, Lessee shall have the option to terminate and cancel this Lease by giving written notice thereof to Lessor within ten (10) days following the transfer of title to the public authority instituting the condemnation proceedings.
