If, in Lessee s reasonable judgment, such repair, restoration and replacement of any Damaged Facilities in accordance with the preceding terms of this Section 8.1 cannot be completed prior to the next Team Home Gameand prior to such completion the Facilities are not suitable for the playing of Team Home Games, Lessee shall so notify Lessor, and thereafter Lessor shall use all reasonable efforts to assist the Team Parties in finding a suitable, alternate site in the State, on terms and conditions favorable to the Team Parties, for the playing of all Team Home Games that cannot be played at the Facilities due to the Damaged Facilities. Obtaining a suitable alternate site shall in no manner diminish Lessor s obligations to repair, restore or replace the Damaged Facilities in accordance with the other provisions of this Section 8.1. The Rent shall be reduced by an equitable amount (based upon the extent of the interference with Lessee s use of the Facilities) during the period from the time of the applicable Casualty until the Damaged Facilities are repaired, restored or replaced.
