of the premises be condemned, the Lessee shall be entitled to a reasonable
abatement of rent proportionate to the loss of use of space being leased.  The
granting by Lessor of storm drainage or utility easements over the demised
premises shall not involve any reduction in rent, unless such easements
materially affect Lessee's use of the demised premises.
