rights herein granted for such breach.
(D) Landlord shall not be liable for, and
Tenant shall not be entitled to, any abatement or reduction of
Rent by reason of Landlord's failure to furnish any of the
foregoing services, nor shall any such failure, stoppage or

not affixed to the real property so as to become a part
thereof, are assessed for real property tax purposes at a
valuation higher than the valuation at which tenant
improvements conforming to building standard (as determined by
Landlord) are assessed, then the real property taxes and
assessments levied against Landlord or the Property by reason
of such excess assessed valuation shall be deemed to be taxes
levied against personal property of Tenant and shall be
governed by the provisions of subparagraph 11(A). If the
records of the tax assessor are available and sufficiently
detailed to serve as a basis for determining whether said

said authority. In the event of any taking (in whole or part)

hereunder, or such part thereof as shall be specified in said
notice, upon the same terms as those offered to the proposed
subtenant or assignee, as the case may be; (ii) to give Tenant
written consent to the proposed assignment or sublease,
provided that the Rent payable monthly by the Tenant to the
Landlord under the terms of this Lease shall be increased by a
sum equal to all rental and other considerations received by

unincorporated association or partnership, the transfer,
assignment or hypothecation of any stock or interest in such
corporation, association or partnership, in the aggregate in
excess of twenty--five (25%) percent, shall be deemed an
assignment within the meaning and provisions of this Paragraph
15, except that Tenant shall have the ri'ght to assign this
Lease or sublease the Premises, without Landlord's consent, to
any entity that is controlled by, under common control with,
or controls Tenant. As used herein, the term "control" shall
mean the power to direct the' affairs of such entity or the

which Landlord may deem proper tO open said doors in an
emergency in order to obtain entry to the Premises, and any
