CASUALTY
Section 9.1. Destruction. Promptly upon any casualty loss or damage to all or any part of the
Market Street Plaza Improvements (excluding subsurface structural support elements of the Market Street
Plaza at below the Developer Waterproofing Layer, which shall be repaired by Developer in accordance
with Section 4.2(a) above)) which is not a Total Casualty Loss (a defined herein), the City shall proceed
with diligence to restore the Market Street Plaza Improvements to the condition existing before the
casualty in a manner consistent with Article IV. Developer shall make all net insurance proceeds obtained
with respect to the loss or damage available to the City for purposes of making such repairs. As used
herein, a “Total Casualty Loss” shall mean any casualty loss or damage to any part of the Market Street
Plaza Improvements, the cost of which to repair shall exceed 80% of the cost to rebuild. Promptly
following a Total Casualty Loss to any portion of the Market Street Plaza Improvements, the Developer
shall proceed with diligence to rebuild such damaged portion of the Market Street Plaza Improvements to
the condition prior to the casualty with the insurance proceeds obtained with respect to the loss or damage
to the extent the insurance proceeds recovered allow for such rebuilding. Notwithstanding anything to the
10
4841-9640-6345\16
contrary, the Developer shall not be obligated to rebuild the Market Street Plaza Improvements or provide
the insurance therefor to the City if any of the Developer’s lenders or loan agreements (whether executed
before or after the date hereof) do not permit such rebuilding or require that insurance amounts recovered
with respect to any loss or damage to the Market Street Plaza Improvements be paid directly to the lender;
provided, however. Developer will use reasonable efforts to cause its lenders and loan agreements to
allow net insurance proceeds available with respect to any loss or damage to the Market Street Plaza
Improvements be made available to Developer for repair and restoration of the Market Street Plaza
Improvements.
ARTICLE X.
EMINENT DOMAIN
Section 10.1. Major Condemnation. If all of the Easement Premises shall be taken, acquired,
or condemned by eminent domain for any public or quasi-public use or purpose, this Agreement shall
terminate as of the date of vesting of title in the condemning authority. Each party shall make its own
claim in the condemnation proceeding based upon the value of its respective interest in the South Site
Vertical Improvements (including the Market Street Plaza Improvements).
Section 10.2. Partial Condemnation. If any portion of the Easement Premises shall be taken,
acquired, or condemned by eminent domain for any public or quasi-public use or purpose, then each party
shall make its own claim in the condemnation proceeding based upon the value of its respective interest in
that part of the Easement Premises subject to the acquisition or condemnation, provided, however, that no
award to the City based on its easement interest shall be permitted to the extent such award reduces
Developer’s award based on its fee interest. Following any such partial taking, the City shall restore the
remaining portion of the Market Street Plaza Improvements above the Developer Waterproofing Layer,
and Developer shall restore the corresponding portion of the subsurface support of the Market Street
Plaza at and below the Developer Waterproofing Layer.

service charge pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section 429.101, or any successor statute. The Developer
hereby agrees to such an assessment for maintenance and repair costs, agrees that the South Site assessed
for such service charges is benefited thereby, and waives any rights the Developer or a third party may
have to object to an assessment of such service charges, including any rights of appeal under Minnesota
Statutes, Chapter 429. The Easement Premises are subject to entry without notice and at any time, by the
non-defaulting party or its authorized employees and/or agents and/or by any public safety personnel to
