or threatened taking or condemnation of all or any portion of any
of the Property. If prior to the Closing, there shall
occur:
(a) damage to any
Property caused by fire or other casualty which is of any
substantial nature; or
(b) the taking or
condemnation of all or any portion of any Property which would
materially interfere with the intended use of the
Property;
then, in such
event, Buyer as its sole remedy may elect to terminate this
Contract by written notice to Seller obtain a refund of the
refundable portion of the Earnest Money Deposit, notwithstanding
that the Due Diligence Period may have expired.
If before the Closing there occurs:
(a) damage to any
portion of the Property caused by fire or other casualty which is
of an insubstantial nature; or

to restore the Property; (ii) Seller shall promptly notify Buyer
after Seller becomes aware of the damage or taking; (iii) if the
restoration would take more than 120 days to complete or if there
are not assignable proceeds under an existing insurance policy that
Seller can assign to Buyer at Closing that would be sufficient to
pay the cost of restoration, Buyer may elect to terminate this
Agreement pursuant to the first paragraph of this Article or
Buyer may elect to proceed with the Closing and accept the Property
AS IS and without restoration having been completed, in which case
the parties will close this transaction and Seller will assign to
Buyer Seller’s interest in the casualty or condemnation
proceeds.
On any fire or other casualty that is not
substantial or with respect to which, if substantial, Buyer does
not elect to terminate this Contract, Seller will provide to Buyer
a copy of the insurance policy covering the damage or other
casualty. In any event, the parties will reasonably
co-operate with each other on the steps needed to settle the claim
with the insurer (but Seller will not be required to incur any
out-of-pocket expenses in doing so after the Closing).
If this Contract is not terminated in the event
of a taking or casualty, the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the
portion of the taking award or casualty insurance proceeds
attributable to the portion of the Property taken or destroyed, as
the case may be, except to the extent that such sums have been
previously expended by Seller to repair or restore the Property
(but Seller will not be obligated to do any such work, and Seller
is not hereby agreeing to do any such repair or
restoration).
