<br />continuous period of more than four business days by reason of any such stoppage, the fixed rent
<br />payable by the Tenant shall abate until the Tenant shall be again able to use the leased property.
<br />24. Destruction by Fire or Other Casualty. In the event the premises or any substantial
<br />portion thereof are destroyed by fire or other casualty during the term of this lease, it is understood and
<br />agreed that County shall have no obligation to rebuild, and, at the election of County or Tenant the lease
<br />may be terminated.
<br />25. Condemnation. If the whole of the leased property, or such portion thereof as will make
<br />the leased property unsuitable for the purposes herein leased, is condemned for any public use or
<br />purpose by any legally constituted authority, then in either of such events this lease shall cease from the
<br />time when possession is taken by such public authority and rental shall be accounted for between the
<br />County and the Tenant as of the date of the surrender of possession. Such termination shall be without
<br />prejudice to the rights of either the County or the Tenant to recover compensation from the condemning
<br />authority for any loss or damage caused by such condemnation. Neither the County nor the Tenant
<br />shall have any rights in or to any award made to the other by the condemning authority.
<br />26. Assignment of Lease. The Tenant shall not assign, mortgage, or encumber this lease,
<br />nor sublet or permit the leased property or any part thereof to be used by others, without the prior
<br />written consent of the County in each instance. If this lease is assigned, or if the leased property or any
<br />part thereof, is sublet, or occupied by anybody other than the Tenant, the County may, after an event of
<br />default, as hereinabove defined, by the Tenant, collect rent for the assignee, subtenant, or occupant and
<br />apply the net amount collected to the rent herein reserved. No such assignment, subletting, occupancy
<br />or collection shall be deemed a waiver of this covenant, or the acceptance of this assignee, subtenant,
<br />or occupant as tenant, or a release of covenants in this lease. The consent by the County to an
<br />assignment or subletting shall not be construed to relieve the Tenant from obtaining the consent in
<br />writing of the County to any further assignment or subletting. Provided, further, County shall not
<br />unreasonably withhold consent to assignment.
<br />27. Assignment of Interest in Rents. The County shall have the right, without selling its fee
<br />interest in the leased property or assigning its interest in this lease, to assign from time to time the whole
<br />of the net rent at any time payable hereunder to persons, firms, corporations, trusts or other entities
<br />designated by the County in a written notice to the Tenant, and in any such case the Tenant shall pay
<br />the net rent, subject to the terms of this lease, to the County's designee at the address mentioned in any
<br />such notice for the period covered by such assignment.
<br />28. Exoneration from Liability. The County shall not be liable for any personal injury to
<br />the Tenant or to its officers, agents and employees, or to any other occupant of any part of the leased
<br />property, irrespective of how such injury or damage may be caused, whether from action of the elements
<br />or acts of negligence of the occupants of adjacent properties, or any other persons; provided that
<br />nothing contained herein shall relieve the County of the consequences of his own negligence.
<br />29. Reimbursement of Expenses. The Tenant shall pay and indemnify the County against
<br />all legal costs and charges, including counsel fees lawfully and reasonably incurred, in obtaining
<br />possession of the leased premises after default of the Tenant or after the Tenant's default in
<br />surrendering possession upon the expiration or earlier termination of the term of the lease or enforcing
<br />any covenant of the Tenant herein contained. The Tenant further covenants that in case the County
<br />shall be made party to any litigation commenced against the Tenant, due to act or omission on the part
<br />of the Tenant alone, then the Tenant shall pay all expenses, costs, and reasonable attorney's fees
<br />incurred by or imposed on the County in connection with such litigation, and such expenses, costs, and
<br />attorney's fees shall be additional rent due on the last day after services of notice of such payment or
<br />payments, together with interest at a rate of 9% per annum from the date of payment, and shall be
<br />collected as any other rent specifically reserved herein. Provided that this claim shall not be applicable
<br />where the County shall be made a party by reason of any independent liability of the County caused by
