connected with the condemnation. As hereinabove used, the words "award of
damage" shall, in the event of such sale or settlement, include the purchase or
settlement price of any such negotiated transfer.

negotiating, and receiving from the condemning authority, if legally payable,
compensation for the taking of Tenant's own tangible property, improvements upon
the leased Premises constructed at Tenant's sole expense, and damages for
Tenant's loss of business, business interruption and/or removal and relocation.

shall be an appropriate reduction in rental.
