7. If the said premises be destroyed by fire or other casualty without fault of <br /> the Lessee, this lease shall immediately terminate and the rent shall be apportioned to <br /> the time of the damage. In case of partial destruction or damage by fire or other <br /> casualty without fault of the Lessee, so as to render the premises untenantable in whole <br /> or in part, there shall be an apportionment of the rent until the damage has been <br /> repaired. During such period of repair, Lessee shall have the right to obtain similar <br /> office space at the expense of Lessee or the Lessee may terminate the lease by giving <br /> fifteen (15) days written notice to the Lessor. <br /> 8. Lessor shall be liable to Lessee for any loss or damages suffered by Lessee <br /> which are a direct result of the failure of Lessor to perform an act required by this <br /> lease, and provided that Lessor could reasonably have complied with said requirement. <br /> 9. Upon termination of this lease, the Lessee will peaceably surrender the <br /> leased premises in as good order and condition as when received, reasonable use and <br /> wear and damage by fire, war, riots, insurrection, public calamity, by the elements, by <br /> act of God, or by circumstances over which Lessee had no control or for which Lessor <br /> is responsible pursuant to this lease, excepted. <br /> 10. The Lessor agrees that the Lessee, upon keeping and performing the <br /> covenants and agreements herein contained, shall at all times during the existence of <br /> this lease peaceably and quietly have, hold, and enjoy the leased premises free from the <br /> adverse claims of any person. <br /> 11. The failure of either party to insist in any instance upon strict performance <br /> of any of the terms and conditions herein set forth shall not be construed as a waiver of <br /> the same in any other instance. No modification of any provision hereof and no <br /> cancellation or surrender thereof shall be valid unless in writing and signed and agreed <br /> to by both parties. <br /> 12. Any hold over after the expiration of the said term or any extension <br /> thereof, shall be construed to be a tenancy from month to month, and shall otherwise <br /> be on the terms and conditions herein specified, so far as applicable; however, either <br /> party shall give not less than sixty (60) days written notice to terminate the tenancy. <br /> 13. The parties to this lease agree and understand that the continuation of this <br /> lease agreement for the term period set forth herein, or any extension or renewal <br /> thereof, is dependent upon and subject to the appropriation, allocation or availability of <br /> funds for this purpose to the agency of the Lessee responsible for payment of said <br /> rental. The parties to this lease also agree that in the event the agency of the Lessee or <br /> that body responsible for the appropriations of said funds, in its sole discretion, <br /> determines, in view of its total local office operations that available funding for the <br /> payment of rents are insufficient to continue the operation of its local offices on the <br /> premise leased herein, it may choose to terminate the lease agreement set forth herein <br /> by giving Lessor written notice of said termination, and the lease agreement shall <br /> terminate immediately without any further liability to Lessee. <br /> 14. All premises, including fixtures and appurtenances, provided under this <br /> lease shall function before, during and after the date change at January 1, 2000 at the <br /> same level for which the premises were originally leased without additional cost to the <br /> Lessee. This includes, but is not limited to, the functioning of mechanical or electrical <br /> systems, heating, ventilating and air conditioning ("HVAC") systems, power supply, <br /> water supply, fire control, security, and facility use components such as elevators, <br /> timer automated doors, and signage. <br />
