Oil <br /> not materially interfere with or impair the Tenant's use of the Leased Premises. No diminution <br /> or abatement of fixed rent or other compensation shall be claimed by the Tenant, nor shall this <br /> lease or any of the obligations of the Tenant hereunder be affected or reduced by reason of <br /> such interruption, stoppage, or curtailment, nor shall the same give rise to a claim in the <br /> Tenant's favor that such failure constitutes total or partial eviction from the Leased Premises, <br /> provided that if the Leased Premises shall be unreasonably untenantable for a continuous <br /> period of more than four business days by reason of any such stoppage, the fixed rent payable <br /> by the Tenant shall abate until the Tenant shall be again able to use the Leased Premises. <br /> 24. Destruction by Fire or Other Casualty. In the event the premises or any <br /> substantial portion thereof are destroyed by fire or other casualty during the term of this lease, <br /> it is understood and agreed that County shall have no obligation to rebuild, and, at the election <br /> of County or Tenant the lease may be terminated. <br /> 25. Condemnation. If the whole of the Leased Premises, or such portion thereof as <br /> will make the Leased Premises unsuitable for the purposes herein leased, is condemned for <br /> any public use or purpose by any legally constituted authority, then in either of such events this <br /> lease shall cease from the time when possession is taken by such public authority and rental <br /> shall be accounted for between the County and the Tenant as of the date of the surrender of <br /> possession. Such termination shall be without prejudice to the rights of either the County or the <br /> Tenant to recover compensation from the condemning authority for any loss or damage caused <br /> by such condemnation. Neither the County nor the Tenant shall have any rights in or to any <br /> award made to the other by the condemning authority. <br /> 26. Assignment of Lease. The Tenant shall not assign, mortgage, or encumber <br /> this lease, nor sublet or permit the Leased Premises or any part thereof to be used by others, <br /> save and except direct clients of Tenant with whom Tenant has contractual agreements, without <br /> the prior written consent of the County in each instance. If this lease is assigned, or if the <br /> Leased Premises or any part thereof, is sublet, or occupied by anybody other than the Tenant <br /> except as stated above, the County may, after an event of default, as hereinabove defined, by <br /> the Tenant, collect rent for the assignee, subtenant, or occupant and apply the net amount <br /> collected to the rent herein reserved. No such assignment, subletting, occupancy or collection <br /> shall be deemed a waiver of this covenant, or the acceptance of this assignee, subtenant, or <br /> occupant as tenant, or a release of covenants in this lease. The consent by the County to an <br /> assignment or subletting shall not be construed to relieve the Tenant from obtaining the <br /> consent in writing of the County to any further assignment or subletting. Provided, further, <br /> County shall not unreasonably withhold consent to assignment. <br /> 27. Assignment of Interest in Rents. The County shall have the right, <br /> without selling its fee interest in the leased property or assigning its interest in this lease, to <br /> assign from time to time the whole of the net rent at any time payable hereunder to persons, <br /> firms, corporations, trusts or other entities designated by the County in a written notice to the <br /> Tenant, and in any such case the Tenant shall pay the net rent, subject to the terms of this <br /> lease, to the County's designee at the address mentioned in any such notice for the period <br /> covered by such assignment. <br /> 28. Exoneration from Liability. The County shall not be liable for any personal <br /> injury to the Tenant or to its officers, agents and employees, or to any other occupant of any <br /> part of the Leased Premises, irrespective of how such injury or damage may be caused, <br /> whether from action of the elements or acts of negligence of the occupants of adjacent <br /> properties, or any other persons; provided that nothing contained herein shall relieve the <br /> 10 <br />
