<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 his 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
<br /> as 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 /> without the prior written consent of the County in each instance. Tenant may request an
