That is standard language in a commercial lease.
What that is saying, is that if the landlord dies or gets into financial trouble, you have the first option of purchasing the commerical property, but you are not required to do so. If you decide not to buy it, the lease is immediately terminated, and you are refunded for any expenses that you put out in order to renovate the space.
That is to make sure that the landlord or his estate can quickly move and break himself of all leases, if he dies or has to file for bankruptcy or gets the property foreclosed on.
It’s 100% legal.
