ARTICLE 9-CONDEMNATION
Total Condemnation
Section 9.01. If, during the term of this lease, fee title to all of the Premises or to all of
the improvements, including Significant Improvements, or the entire leasehold estate of District
is taken under the power of eminent domain by an public or quasi -public agency or entity other
than the City and other than any entity or agency controlled by the City ("total taking"), this
lease shall terminate as of 12:01 a.m. on whichever of the following occurs first: (1) the date
legal title becomes vested in the agency or entity exercising the power of eminent domain; or
(2) the date actual physical possession is taken by the agency or entity exercising the power of
eminent domain. Thereafter, both City and District shall be released from all obligations under
this lease, except those specified in Section 9.05.
Partial Taking -Improvements
Section 9.02. If at anytime during the term of this lease a taking occurs that is less than
a total taking and affects the rentable portion of the improvements on the Premises, all
compensation and damages payable for that taking shall be made available to and used, to the
extent reasonably needed, by District to repair any portion of the remaining rentable portion of
the improvements damaged by the taking and to replace the rentable portion of the
improvements taken with other new rentable space on the portion of the Premises not taken,
provided that replacement is then permitted by existing law. Plans and specifications for the
replacement rental space must be compatible, in terms of architecture and quality of
construction, with the improvements not taken and must be first approved in writing by City
pursuant to Article 5 above. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, if the
4911006.2 -- N261.19
16
rentable portion of the improvements taken by eminent domain results in a net loss of fifty
percent (50%) or more of the area of the Premises that can, after considering any replacement
rentable space that can be lawfully constructed on the remaining portion of the Premises and
paid for by the condemnation proceeds, be devoted to rentable space as compared with the
area devoted to that rentable space immediately before the taking, District may terminate this
lease in the manner prescribed in Section 9.03 of this lease. Moreover, the District may also
terminate this lease in the manner prescribed in Section 9.03 if, in the District's reasonable
opinion, the number of parking spaces taken by eminent domain deprives the Premises of
sufficient parking necessary for the operation of the college upon the Premises.
Termination for Partial Taking
Section 9.03. District may terminate this lease for the reasons stated in Section 9.02 of
this lease, by serving written notice of termination on City within sixty (60) days after District
has received from City or from the condemning authority written notice of an intended taking
that sets forth the extent and scope of the intended taking. If District elects to terminate this
lease, the effective date of the termination shall be the earlier of (1) the date of termination
specified in District's notice to City or (2) the date the condemning authority takes physical
possession of the portion of the Premises taken by eminent domain. On termination of this
lease under this Section, the Premises shall be delivered to City free and clear of all
encumbrances.
Condemnation Award
Section 9.04. Any compensation or damages awarded or payable because of the taking
of all or any portion of the Premises by eminent domain shall be allocated between City and
District as follows:
a) All compensation or damages awarded or payable for the taking by eminent
domain or any land that is part of the Premises shall be paid to and be the sole
property of City, free and clear of any claim of District or any person claiming
rights to the Premises through or under District.
b) All compensation or damages awarded or payable because of any
improvements, including Significant Improvements constructed or located on the
portion of the Premises taken by eminent domain when only a portion of the
Premises is taken by eminent domain and District is not entitled to or does not
terminate this lease shall be applied in the manner specified in Section 9.02 or
Section 9.03 toward the replacement of those improvements, including
Significant Improvements, with equivalent new improvements, including
Significant Improvements, on the remaining portions of the Premises.
c) All compensation or damages awarded or payable because of the improvements
constructed or located in the portion of the Premises taken by eminent domain
when this lease is terminated because of the taking by eminent domain, whether
4911006.2 -- N261.19
17
all or only a portion of the Premises is taken by eminent domain, shall be
allocated between District and City as follows:
1. That percentage of the compensation or damages awarded or payable
because of the improvements that equals the percentage of the full term
of this lease that has, at the time of the taking, not expired shall belong
to and be the sole property of the District.
2. That percentage of the compensation or damages awarded or payable
because of the improvements that equals the percentage of the full term
of this lease that has, at the time of the taking, expired shall belong to
and be the sole property of City.
3. The term "time of taking" as used in this subparagraph shall means 12:01
a.m. of whichever of the following shall first occur: the date that title, the
date that physical possession of the portion of the Premises on which the
improvements are located, is taken by the agency or entity exercising the
eminent domain power.
d) Any severance damages awarded or payable because only a portion of the
Premises is taken by eminent domain shall be equally divided, except to the
extent needed to replace and improvements taken by eminent domain with
equivalent improvements on the remaining portion of the Premises when
District cannot or does not terminate this lease, between City and District.
Rent Abatement for Partial Taking
Section 9.05. If title and possession of only a portion of the Premises is taken under the
power of eminent domain by any public or quasi -public agency or entity during the term of this
lease and District does not or cannot terminate this lease, then this lease shall terminate as to
the portion of the Premises taken under eminent domain as of 12:01 a.m. on whichever of the
following first occurs: the date title is taken, or the date actual physical possession of the
portion taken by eminent domain is taken, by the agency or entity exercising the eminent
domain power. Furthermore the rent payable under this lease (including fees and costs
payable under Section 2.01 above) shall, as of that time, be reduced in the same proportion
that the value of the portion of the Premises taken by eminent domain bears to the full value of
the Premises at that time provided, however, that District shall, subject to the provisions of this
lease, replace any improvements or facilities on the remaining portion of the Premises and do
all other acts at District's own cost and expense required by the eminent domain taking to
make the remaining portion of the Premises fit for the uses specified in this lease.

are dismissed, vacated or otherwise permanently stayed or terminated within
ninety (90) days after the filing or other initial event, then District shall not be in
default under this Section; and
c) The subjection of any right or interest of District to or under this lease to
