    No  certificate of incorporation under this section shall hereafter be

    No  corporation  organized  pursuant  to  this  article or operating a
  harness horse race meet pursuant to  the  provisions  of  section  three
  hundred  four of this article, shall have or be given the right or power
  to conduct any harness horse race meet pursuant to this  article  except
  at  the  location  designated in its certificate of incorporation as the
  place at which it was proposed to conduct its business, or at the  place
  or places where it is presently licensed to conduct a harness horse race
  meet  or  meetings  by  the  state  racing and wagering board; provided,
  however, that this restriction shall not apply to any  such  corporation
  or  association  whose  racing plant or the usefulness thereof or of any
  material part thereof, in the discretion of the board,  shall,  for  any
  reason beyond the control of such corporation or association, be totally
  destroyed  or  so  substantially interfered with or damaged as to render
  same  unfit  for  continued  operation.  Pending  the   rebuilding,   or
  restoration  of  its usefulness or the making of the required repairs to
  said plant or the part thereof so destroyed or damaged, the state racing
  and wagering board  may  license  such  corporation  or  association  to
  conduct its harness horse race meetings at any other suitable location.
