14. Total Destruction of Premises by Casualty. It is mutually covenanted and agreed that if, during the term of this Commercial Lease Agreement, the Leased Premises, or any portion thereof, is damaged by fire or other casualty to such an extent as to render the Leased Premises wholly unfit for occupancy, or if said Leased Premises are so seriously damaged by fire or other casualty that it shall be impractical or uneconomical to rebuild the building, then, and in that event, either the Lessee or the Lessor may cancel this Commercial Lease Agreement by giving notice in writing to the other party by certified mail, such notice to be sent no later than thirty (30) days after the damage to said building shall have occurred, whereupon the giving of said notice to the other party, this Commercial Lease Agreement shall terminate and all rights and obligations of the Lessor and the Lessee hereunder shall cease. 15. Partial Destruction of Premises by Casualty. In the event that the Leased Premises should be partially damaged by fire or other unavoidable casualty, but not to such an extent as to make it impractical or uneconomical to completely rebuild or reconstruct, then and in that event, it shall be the duty of the Lessor to IMMEDIATELY commence the work of repairing the Leased Premises, restoring the said building and the Leased Premises to a condition equally desirable as that before its destruction by fire or other casualty. Provided, however, that throughout the period during which the Leased Premises are wholly or partially untenantable by reason of fire or other casualty,there shall be an abatement of rent in proportion to the portion of the Leased Premises rendered untenantable for the purpose of the Lessee's business during the period of time which such repairs or reconstruction are in process, and provided further, that in the event of damage to the Leased Premises by fire and other casualty, any portion of rent paid in advance by the Lessee to the Lessor, and not earned by reason of the Lessee's occupancy, shall be refunded to the Lessee by the Lessor immediately upon the happening of any fire or other casualty which shall prevent the Lessee from using the said Leased Premises in the conduct of Lessee's business. 16. Alterations Required by Law. In the event that any governmental organization, bureau or agency through laws, ordinances, regulations, codes or other enactments or directives shall require changes, alterations, improvements or repairs to the Leased Premises which require the expenditure of additional sums of money, such changes, alterations, improvements or repairs shall be accomplished entirely at the expense of the Lessee. 17. Waiver of Subrogation Rights. It is agreed that if the Leased Premises shall be destroyed in whole or in part by any cause or causes covered by standard fire and extended coverage insurance forms, the Lessee shall not be liable for or responsible to Lessor or any insurer or insurers of Lessor and the Lessor shall not be liable for or responsible to Lessee or any insurer or insurers of the Lessee for and in respect of any such damage or destruction, and the Lessor hereby specifically waives any and all rights of subrogation which the insurer or insurers may have against the Lessee for such losses, damages or destruction, and the Lessee hereby specifically waives any and all right of subrogation which the insurer or insurers may have against the Lessor for such losses, damages or destruction, all notwithstanding the fact that the same is caused in whole or in part by the neglect of the Lessee or any of the Lessee's officers, agents, employees, invitees or otherwise or by the neglect or negligence of the Lessor or any of the Lessor's officers, agents, employees, invitees or otherwise.
