RB5573 533 10117 <br /> 23. Right of Entry. The County or its agent shall within twenty-four (24) hours <br /> notice have the right to enter the Leased Premises at reasonable times in order to examine it, to <br /> show it to prospective purchasers or lessees, or to make such decorations, repairs, alterations, <br /> improvements or additions as the County may deem necessary or desirable. The County shall <br /> be allowed to take all material into and upon the Leased Premises that may be required <br /> therefore without the same constituting an eviction of the Tenant in whole or in part. The rent <br /> reserved shall not abate while decorations, repairs, alterations, improvements, or additions are <br /> being made, whether by reason of loss or interruption of the business of the Tenant or <br /> otherwise. During the last month prior to the expiration of the term of this lease, the County <br /> may place upon the Leased Premises the usual notices "To Let" or "For Sale", which notices <br /> the Tenant shall permit to remain thereon without molestation. If during the last month of the <br /> term the Tenant shall have removed all or substantially all of the Tenant's property therefrom, <br /> the County may, with the Tenant's permission, immediately enter and later, renovate and <br /> redecorate the Leased Premises without elimination of abatement of rent and without liability to <br /> the Tenant for any compensation, and such acts shall have no effect upon this lease. If the <br /> Tenant or its employees shall not be personally present to permit entry at any time when an <br /> entry 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 rendering the <br /> County or such agents liable therefore (if during such entry the County or its agents shall <br /> accord reasonable care to the Tenant's property), and without in any manner affecting the <br /> obligations and covenants of this lease. The County's right of reentry shall not be deemed to <br /> impose upon the County any obligation, responsibility or liability for the care, supervision or <br /> repair of the Leased Premises other than as herein provided. In the event that it becomes <br /> necessary for County to replace or repair any major component or any structural or other <br /> system in the leased premises, the County shall have full and unrestricted access to the <br /> building and the Leased Premises. The County reserves the right temporarily to interrupt, <br /> curtail, stop or suspend air-conditioning and heating service, and all other utility or other <br /> services, because of accident or emergency or for repairs, alterations, additions, or <br /> improvements, or because of the County's inability to obtain, or difficulty or delay in obtaining, <br /> labor or materials necessary therefore or compliance with governmental restrictions in <br /> connection therewith, or because of any other cause beyond the County's reasonable control, <br /> provided that, except in cases of emergency, the County will use its best efforts to limit such <br /> stoppage to after-business hours, will notify the Tenant in advance, if possible, of any such <br /> stoppage, and, if ascertainable, its estimated duration, and will proceed diligently with the work <br /> necessary to resume such service as promptly as possible and in a manner and at times as will <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 /> 10 <br />
