(a)   damage to any portion of the Property caused by fire or other casualty which is of an insubstantial nature; or

 

(b)   the taking or condemnation of all or any portion of any Property which would not materially interfere with the intended use of the Property;

 

 

 

 

 

 


 

 

then the following will apply:  (i) Seller shall not be required 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).
