14 <br />22. Performance of Tenant's Obligations - Costs. If the Tenant shall default in <br />the performance of any obligation under this lease, the County may, after notice and <br />opportunity to cure in accordance with Section 17(a) (2) or without notice if any <br />emergency exists, perform such obligation for the account and at the expense (including <br />reasonable counsel fees) of the Tenant. The amount of any payment made or expense <br />W <br />ncurred by the County for such purpose, with interest thereon at the rate of 6% per <br />annum, shall be deemed additional rent and forthwith shall be repaid by the Tenant to the <br />County, or, at the County's election, may be added to any subsequent installment of rent <br />due and payable under this lease. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to waive <br />any right of the County to sue for and recover by action at law any sums of which the <br />County may have incurred under the provisions of this subparagraph. The provisions of <br />this paragraph shall survive the termination of this lease. <br />23. Right of Entrv. The County or its agent shall within twenty-four (24) <br />hours notice have the right to enter the Leased Premises at reasonable tunes in order to <br />examine it, to show it to prospective purchasers or lessees, or to make such decorations, <br />repairs, alterations, improvements or additions as the County may deem necessary or <br />desirable. The County shall be allowed to take all material into and upon the Leased <br />Premises that may be required therefore without the same constituting an eviction of the <br />Tenant in whole or in part. The rent reserved shall not abate while decorations, repairs, <br />alterations, improvements, or additions are being made, whether by reason of loss or <br />interruption of the business of the Tenant or otherwise. During the last month prior to <br />the expiration of the term of this lease, the County may place upon the Leased Premises <br />the usual notices "To Let" or "For Sale ", which notices the Tenant shall permit to remain <br />thereon without molestation. If during the last month of the term the Tenant shall have <br />removed all or substantially all of the Tenant's property therefrom, the County may, with <br />the Tenant's permission, immediately enter and later, renovate and redecorate the Leased <br />Premises without elimination of abatement of rent and without liability to the Tenant for <br />any compensation, and such acts shall have no effect upon this lease. If the Tenant or its <br />employees shall not be personally present to permit entry at any time when an entry <br />therein shall be immediately necessary, as herein provided, the County may enter the <br />Premises by such means as may be appropriate, including forcible entry, without <br />rendering the County or such agents liable therefore (if during such entry the County or <br />his agents shall accord reasonable care to the Tenant's property), and without in any <br />manner affecting the obligations and covenants of this lease. The County's right of <br />reentry shall not be deemed to impose upon the County any obligation, responsibility or <br />liability for the care, supervision or repair of the Leased Premises other than as herein <br />provided. In the event that it becomes necessary for County to replace or repair any <br />major component or any structural or other system in the leased premises, the County <br />shall have full and unrestricted access to the building and the Leased Premises. The <br />County reserves the right temporarily to interrupt, curtail, stop or suspend air- <br />conditioning and heating service, and all other utility or other services, because of <br />accident or emergency or for repairs, alterations, additions, or improvements, or because <br />12 ' <br />
