amount of any loss, together with damages, costs, and expenses of any suit offered or incurred by <br />reason of damage to the leased property occurring during any period when the Tenant shall have failed <br />to provide and keep such insurance in force. <br />22. Performance of Tenant's Obligations-Taxes. <br />If the Tenant shall default in the performance of any obligation under this lease, the County <br />after 30 days notice to the Tenant specifying such default, or without notice if any emergency exists, <br />may perform such obligation for the account and at the expense (including reasonable counsel fees) of <br />the Tenant. The amount of any payment made or expense incurred by the County for such purpose, <br />with interest thereon at the rate of 6% per annum, shall be deemed additional rent and forthwith shall be <br />repaid by the Tenant to the County, or, at the County's election, may be added to any subsequent <br />installment of rent due and payable under this lease. When no emergency exists, the provisions of this <br />subparagraph shall be inapplicable, if within 30 days after such notice by the County, the Tenant shall <br />have cured such default, or shall have commenced and shall be proceeding diligently to cure such a <br />default. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to waive any right of the County to sue for and <br />recover by action at law any sums of which the County may have incurred under the provisions of this <br />subparagraph. The provisions of this paragraph shall survive the termination of this lease. <br />23. Right of Entrv. The County or his agent shall with twenty-four (24) hours notice have the <br />right to enter the leased property at reasonable times in order to examine it, to show it to prospective <br />purchasers or lessees, or to make such decorations, repairs, alterations, improvements or additions as <br />the County may deem necessary or desirable. The County shall be allowed to take all material into and <br />upon the leased property that may be required therefore without the same constituting an eviction of the <br />Tenant in whole or in part. The rent reserved shall not abate while decorations, repairs, alterations, <br />improvements, or additions are being made, whether by reason of loss or interruption of the business of <br />the 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 notices the <br />Tenant shall permit to remain thereon without molestation. If during the last month of the term the <br />Tenant shall have removed all or substantially all of the Tenant's property therefrom, the County may, <br />with the Tenant's permission, immediately enter and later, renovate and redecorate the leased property <br />without elimination of abatement of rent and without liability to the Tenant for any compensation, and <br />such acts shall have no effect upon this lease. If the Tenant or its employees shall not be personally <br />present to permit entry at any time when an entry therein shall be immediately necessary, as herein <br />provided, the County may enter the premises by such means as may be appropriate, including forcible <br />entry, without rendering the County or such agents liable therefore (if during such entry the County or <br />his agents shall accord reasonable care to the Tenant's property), and without in any manner affecting <br />the 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 repair of <br />the leased property other than as herein provided. In the event that it becomes necessary for County to <br />replace or repair any major component or any structural or other system in the leased premises, the <br />County shall have full and unrestricted access to the building and the leased property. The County <br />reserves the right temporarily to interrupt, curtail, stop or suspend air-conditioning and heating service, <br />and all other utility or other services, because of accident or emergency or for repairs, alterations, <br />additions, or improvements, or because of the County's inability to obtain, or difficulty or delay in <br />obtaining, 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, provided <br />that, except in 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 resume <br />such service as promptly as possible and in a manner and at times as will not materially interfere with or <br />impair the Tenant's use of the leased property. No diminution or abatement of fixed rent or other <br />compensation shall be claimed by the Tenant, nor shall this lease or any of the obligations of the Tenant <br />hereunder be affected or reduced by reason of such interruption, stoppage, or curtailment, nor shall the <br />same give rise to a claim in the Tenant's favor that such failure constitutes total or partial eviction from <br />the leased property, provided that if the leased property shall be unreasonably untenantable for a <br />
