rendered untenantable, same shall be repaired with due diligence by Lessor at
its own cost and expense. If the damage shall be so extensive as to render
such building untenantable but capable of being repaired in 30 days, same shall

cease until such time as said building shall be fully restored; or
(2) if within 12 months after the time of such damage or destruction,
said building shall not have been repaired or reconstructed for Lessee's use,
Lessee may give Lessor written notice of its intention to cancel this lease in
its entirety or to cancel as of the date of such damage or destruction, such
part of this lease as relates only to said building.
In the event that the Airport, or any other premises herein leased,
shall be rendered untenantable or unusable because of the condition thereof,
there shall be a reasonable and proportionate abatement of the rentals, fees
