The <br /> County shall be allowed to take all material into and upon the leased property that may be <br /> required therefor without the same constituting an eviction of the Tenant in whole or in part. <br /> The rent reserved shall not abate while decorations, repairs, alterations, improvements, or <br /> additions are being made, whether by reason of loss or interruption of the business of the <br /> Tenant or otherwise. During the last month prior to the expiration of the term of this lease, the <br /> County may place upon the leased property the usual notices "To Let" or "For Sale", which <br /> notices the Tenant shall permit to remain thereon without molestation. If during the last month <br /> of the term the Tenant shall have removed all or substantially all of the Tenant's property <br /> therefrom, the County may, with the Tenant's permission, immediately enter and later, <br /> renovate and redecorate the leased property without elimination of abatement of rent and <br /> without liability to the Tenant for any compensation, and such acts shall have no effect upon <br /> this lease. If the Tenant or its employees shall not be personally present to permit entry at any <br /> time when an entry therein shall be immediately necessary, as herein provided, the County <br /> may enter the premises by such means as may be appropriate, including forcible entry, without <br /> rendering the County or such agents liable therefor (if during such entry the County or his <br /> agents shall accord reasonable care to the Tenant's property), and without in any manner <br /> affecting the obligations and covenants of this lease. The County's right of reentry shall not be <br /> deemed to impose upon the County any obligation, responsibility or liability for the care, <br /> supervision or repair of the leased property other than as herein provided. In the event that it <br /> becomes necessary for County to replace or repair any major component or any structural or <br /> other system in the leased premises, the County shall have full and unrestricted access to the <br /> building and the leased property. The County reserves the right temporarily to interrupt, curtail, <br /> stop or suspend air-conditioning and heating service, and all other utility or other services, <br /> because of accident or emergency or for repairs, alterations, additions, or improvements, or <br /> because of the County's inability to obtain, or difficulty or delay in obtaining, labor or materials <br /> necessary therefor or compliance with governmental restrictions in connection therewith, or <br /> because of any other cause beyond the County's reasonable control, provided that, except in <br /> cases of emergency, the County will use its best efforts to limit such stoppage to after- <br /> business hours, will notify the Tenant in advance, if possible, of any such stoppage, and, if <br /> ascertainable, its estimated duration, and will proceed diligently with the work necessary to <br /> resume such service as promptly as possible and in a manner and at times as will not <br /> materially interfere with or impair the Tenant's use of the leased property. No diminution or <br /> 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 property, <br /> provided that if the leased property shall be unreasonably untenantable for a continuous period <br /> of more than four business days by reason of any such stoppage, the fixed rent payable by <br /> the Tenant shall abate until the Tenant shall be again able to use the leased property. <br /> 24.
