by a court of competent jurisdiction or an order of a bankruptcy
court of competent jurisdiction; and b. The title to the facility prior to the sale is not vested in the eligible
company or an affiliate of the eligible company; (b) Replaces an existing manufacturing, agribusiness, nonretail service or technology, or national or regional corporate headquarters facility if:

(12) months; or 2. The facility has been damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty to
the extent that normal operations cannot be resumed at the facility
within twelve (12) months; or (c) Replaces an existing facility located in the same county if the existing facility cannot be expanded due to the unavailability of real estate at or adjacent to the
