SECTION 1.03.

Commencement and Ending Date of Term.



(a)                   The term of this Lease shall commence on the date (the ("Commencement Date") on which Landlord delivers the Leased Premises to Tenant with Landlord's Work (as defined in Section 27.28 hereof) substantially complete. Landlord's Work will be deemed substantially complete when Landlord's Work is completed but for minor construction items which do not materially interfere with Tenant's ability to complete Tenant's initial alterations to the Leased Premises or conduct business therein. Landlord agrees to perform Landlord's Work in a good and workmanlike manner, in conformity with the Plans and Specifications attached as Exhibit C and in compliance with all applicable laws and codes. Landlord will correct any defects in materials or workmanship or incomplete items within thirty days after Tenant provides a list of all such defects, such list to be provided within ninety days of Landlord's delivery of possession (provided that if the defects are not reasonably capable of correction within said thirty day period, Landlord agrees to commence correcting the defect within said thirty day period and thereafter complete correcting the defects with due diligence).

(d)                    The initial term of this Lease shall be for a period of approximately thirteen (13) years running from the Commencement Date through the last day of the month in which the thirteenth anniversary of the Commencement Date occurs (the "Termination Date").



(e)                    Tenant shall have an option (the "Option") to extend the term of this Lease for one (1) additional terms of seven (7) years, one additional term of five (5) years and one additional term of four years and ten months (each, a "Renewal Term"), each successively, commencing on the first day next succeeding the Termination Date or the last day of the immediately preceding Renewal Term, as the case may be, upon the same terms, conditions and provisions as are provided for in this Lease.



The Option may be exercised only by Tenant giving written notice to Landlord of Tenant's said Option by certified mail, return receipt requested, not more than fifteen (15) nor less than nine (9) months prior to the Expiration Date of the term of this Lease or the last day of the immediately preceding Renewal Term, as the case may be (the "Exercise Notice"). Upon Tenant's giving of the Exercise Notice, the term of this Lease shall be extended automatically upon the terms and conditions without the execution of an extension agreement or other instrument. If Tenant shall not give Landlord the Exercise Notice at the time and in the manner set form above, the Option shall terminate and be deemed waived by Tenant. Time is of the essence as to the date for the giving of the Exercise Notice.



Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, if on the date that Tenant exercises the Option, or if on any subsequent date up to and including the date upon which the Renewal Term commences, Tenant is in default, beyond any applicable notice and grace periods, in the payment of Minimum Rent or additional rent hereunder, or is in default in the performance of any of the other terms, conditions or provisions of this Lease, Tenant's exercise of the Option and the extension of the term contemplated thereby shall, at the option of Landlord exercised by written notice to Tenant, be rendered null and void and shall be of no further force and effect and Tenant shall have no other additional right to exercise such Option, which shall be deemed waived by Tenant.



Time shall be of the essence with respect to the exercise of the Option by Tenant.



(f)                    Any access by Tenant to the Leased Premises prior to the Commencement Date (which prior access shall occur only with Landlord's prior written consent) shall be upon all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease, except for the payment of Minimum Rent and Tenant's proportionate share of additional charges.



SECTION 1.04.

Lease Year Defined.



The term "Lease Year" as used herein shall mean a period of twelve (12) consecutive full calendar months. The first Lease Year shall begin on the Commencement Date and shall continue through the last day of the month in which the first anniversary of the Commencement Date occurs. Each succeeding twelve month period shall be the sequential Lease Year.



SECTION 1.05.

Holding Over.



If Tenant shall be in possession of the Leased Premises after the Termination Date, in the absence of an agreement extending the term hereof, the tenancy under this Lease shall become that of "month to month", terminable by either party upon thirty days' prior written notice, at a monthly rental equal to one and one-half times the sum of the monthly installment of Minimum Rent, payable during the last month of the term. Tenant shall also pay all other charges payable under the terms of this Lease, pro rated for each month during which Tenant remains in possession.

SECTION 2.02.

Additional Rent.



In addition to Minimum Rent, Tenant shall pay as additional rent any money required to be paid pursuant to the terms hereof, including without limitation, Sections 2.03, 2.04, 2.05, 8.01, 10.01, 10.03, 12.01, 12.02, 13.02, 13.03, 13.04, 13.05, 13.06, Articles IV and X and 16.02, and all other sums of money or charges required to be paid by Tenant under this Lease, whether or not the same be designated as "minimum rent," "rent" or "additional rent". Unless stated otherwise herein, any and all money, payments, amounts or charges owed by Tenant under this Lease, shall be due and payable upon demand thereof. Minimum Rent and additional rent are hereinafter collectively also called "rent."



SECTION 2.03.

Late Charge and Dishonored Check Fee.



Anything in this Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, at Landlord's option, Tenant shall pay a "late charge" not to exceed eight (8%) percent on any Minimum Rent rent and additional rent when said sums are received by Landlord more than ten (10) days after the due date thereof, to cover the extra expense involved in handling delinquent payments. Tenant agrees to pay Landlord promptly after billing as additional rent the sum of $75.00 for each check remitted by it to Landlord that is dishonored. If two or more checks remitted by Tenant to Landlord arc dishonored within a six month period, Landlord may require that any or all future remittances by Tenant to Landlord be in the form of certified or bank checks.



SECTION 2.04.

Rent and Additional Rent More Than 30 Days Overdue.



(a)                   If Landlord has not received any rent or additional rent, or charges of the character described in Article II hereof within ten (10) days after the same was due and payable, such unpaid amounts shall bear interest from the date when same was due and payable to the date of payment, at a rate equal to the lesser of (i) ten (10%) percentage points over the Prime Rate (as defined below) or (ii) the maximum interest rate permitted by law ("Interest").



(b)                    "Prime Rate" shall mean the "Base Rate" (or prime rate or similar equivalent rate) of interest from time to time in effect established by Citigroup, Inc. and announced by it as the rate charged by it to its prime commercial customers on short term unsecured borrowings. If Citigroup, Inc. ceases to report such rate, the term "Prime Rate" shall mean a substitute and comparable rate selected by Landlord.

ARTICLE III - INTENTIONALLY OMITTED



ARTICLE IV - TAXES




 

(a)                   From and after the Commencement Date, and for each year of the lease term, or portion thereof, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as additional rent, Tenant's share of the Real Estate Taxes (as hereinafter defined) which may be levied or assessed by any lawful authority against the land and improvements in the Shopping Center.

(b)                    Tenant shall pay a portion of such taxes equal to the product obtained by multiplying the total taxes by a fraction, the numerator being the rentable square foot area of the Leased Premises, and the denominator of which shall be the total square footage of all leasable First floor area in the Shopping Center (hereinafter called Tenant's "proportionate share"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any portion or portions of the Shopping Center are separately assessed for real estate tax purposes, at Landlord's option, Tenant's proportionate share of Real Estate Taxes shall be equal to the product obtained by multiplying the total taxes on the parcel or parcels containing the Leased Premises by a fraction, the numerator being the rentable square foot area of the Leased Premises, and the denominator of which shall be the total square footage of all leaseable first floor area on such parcel or parcels excluding any portion of such parcel or parcels which are separately assessed and paid for directly by another tenant. In the event that certain buildings and/or improvements in the Shopping Center are separately assessed, but land area is not, Landlord may, at its option and in its reasonable discretion, calculate Tenant's proportionate share of each component of Real Estate Taxes in accordance with the respective formulas set forth herein.



(c)                    Tenant shall initially pay an estimated amount of $333.33 per month toward its proportionate share of all Real Estate Taxes. Landlord shall estimate Tenant's annual share of Real Estate Taxes referred to in this Section and Tenant shall pay one-twelfth (l/12th) of such estimate monthly in advance without prior demand therefor and without any setoff or deduction whatsoever, together with the payment of Minimum Rent. Landlord shall have the right, at any time and from time to time during each calendar year, to increase said estimates based on changed circumstances, additional facts previously unknown to Landlord or for any other reason. After the end of each calendar year (or fiscal tax year should Landlord so decide), Landlord shall furnish Tenant a statement of the actual Real Estate Taxes for the Leased Premises as aforesaid, and there shall be an adjustment between Landlord and Tenant, with payment to Landlord on demand, or credit to Tenant against the next such payment due, as the case may require, to the end that Landlord shall receive from Tenant the entire and proper amount of Tenant's annual share of Real Estate Taxes for such period.



(d)                   For any portion of the aggregate lease term covered herein which is less than a full calendar year, the allocation of taxes shall be further reduced to limit such charge to a corresponding proportionate share of such year. This last provision shall apply both at the beginning and the end of the lease term.



(e)                    "Real Estate Taxes" shall mean any property taxes, betterments and assessments imposed upon the land and improvements upon said land, flat rate water and sewer charges, and all other governmental levies made with respect to real property; Real Estate Taxes shall not include Landlord's business privilege, franchise, gross receipts, earned income or other taxes based on the gross receipts or income of Landlord; provided, however, that if due to a change in the method of taxation, any franchise, income, rent or profit tax shall be levied against the owner of the Shopping Center or by Landlord in substitution for or in lieu of any tax which would otherwise constitute a real estate tax, such franchise, income, rent or profit tax shall be deemed to be a Real Estate Tax for the purpose hereof. Additionally, Real Estate Taxes shall be any and all expenses incurred by Landlord, at its discretion, in reducing or maintaining the existing level of such tax obligations to the taxing authorities.




 

(f)                    Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time during the term of this Lease any assessment (either general or special) is levied upon or assessed against the Leased Premises or any part thereof, and such assessment may be paid in installments, Tenant's obligation under this Section to pay such assessment shall be limited to the amount of such installments (plus applicable interest thereon charged by the taxing authority, if any) which become due during the term hereof, calculated using the payment option as determined by Landlord.

(g)             In the event there is currently in effect any law providing for the taxation of leases or if any law is enacted or adopted after the Effective Date which changes the laws now in force for the taxation of leases, including but not limited to a Goods and Services Tax (GST), or the manner of the operation of any such taxes, or which otherwise imposes a tax either directly or indirectly on the lease or the rents received therefrom, Tenant will pay such tax with interest and penalties thereon. This provision shall not be deemed to impose liability for any income or franchise tax owed by Landlord by reason of this Lease.



(h)             For purpose of this Lease, the periods applicable to the payment of Real Estate Taxes shall be determined on the basis of the calendar year in which the Landlord pays the taxes rather than the period as may be stated within the tax bill.



(i)             For the first partial calendar year of this Lease, Tenant shall pay its proportionate share of the Real Estate Taxes as provided for in this Article IV for the entire year multiplied by a fraction consisting of the number of days in the calendar year subsequent to the Commencement Date, divided by the number of days in that calendar year.



ARTICLE V - LANDLORD'S RIGHT TO ALTER AND RELOCATE BUILDINGS.



SECTION 5.01.

Changes and Additions to Buildings.

ARTICLE VI - CONDUCT OF BUSINESS BY TENANT

 

SECTION 6.01.

Use of Premises.




 

(a)                   Tenant shall use the Leased Premises solely as a retail bank or any other lawful retail use; provided that Tenant may not use the Leased Premises for a use which (i) violates any then existing exclusive benefiting any other tenant or occupant of the Shopping Center or in violation of any of the exclusives attached hereto as Exhibit G or (ii) competes with the use of any other tenant or occupant in the Shopping Center. Tenant shall occupy the Leased Premises and shall conduct continuously in the Leased Premises the business above stated and as further provided in Section 6.02 herein.

In the event of a permitted assignment or sublet of the Leased Premises, Landlord shall continue to hold the deposit as if no such assignment or sublet had taken place, and the Tenant and assignee/sublessee shall look to each other for the settlement of same, it being understood and agreed that any portion of the deposit to be returned in accordance with this Section, shall be returned to the Tenant in possession at the end of this Lease. Tenant and its successors and assigns shall indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, suits, actions, judgments, costs and obligations, including reasonable attorneys' fees in connection therewith.

(a)                   Commencing from and after the Commencement Dale, and for each year of the lease term, or portion thereof, in addition to the insurance which Tenant is required to maintain pursuant to this Article XIII, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as additional rent, Tenant's share of the Fire Insurance (as defined below) which may be maintained by Landlord on the buildings and improvements in the Shopping Center, Tenant shall pay as its share of such Fire Insurance an amount equal to that proportion of the cost of the premiums for the Fire Insurance as the leaseable square foot area of the Leased Premises bears to the leaseable square foot area of all the buildings covered under the relevant policy.



(b)                   On each date that an installment of Minimum Rent is due, Tenant shall pay, as additional rent, an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12th) of its share of the estimated total premiums paid by Landlord for Fire Insurance (as defined below). Tenant shall initially pay $83.33 per month towards its share of said insurance premium(s). Landlord will bill the Tenant annually for its proportionate share accompanied by copies of


 

the appropriate invoices setting forth the amount due from Tenant on account of the Fire Insurance for the preceding year and the amount of estimated Fire Insurance paid by Tenant during such year. The total billing for the insurance less the amount previously paid by Tenant will result in an adjustment whereby Tenant will either receive a credit for an overpayment toward the next installment or installments due under this Section or Tenant shall pay within ten (10) days of the receipt of such statement, any balance due to Landlord for such insurance. The monthly amount to be paid on account will be revised each year to more closely reflect one-twelfth (1/12th) of Tenant's share of insurance costs most recently determined. With respect to any insurance effective for a term extending beyond the term of Tenant's lease, Tenant will be obligated to pay only such proportion of Tenant's share of the premium as that portion of the term of the policy lapsing prior to the expiration of the term of Tenant's lease bears to the entire term of the policy.



(c)                   "Fire Insurance" shall mean the fire, extended coverage and loss of rents insurance (including so-called "extended coverage and/or all risk endorsement", "flood and earthquake endorsement", "terrorism endorsement" and "boiler and machinery endorsement"), maintained by Landlord or others upon all buildings and improvements in the Shopping Center.



(d)                   The amount of Fire Insurance to be maintained by Landlord shall not be less than eighty (80%) percent and not more than one hundred (100%) percent of the Replacement Cost Valuation of all buildings and improvements in the Shopping Center as such value may exist from time to time.





SECTION 13.05.

Increase in Fire Insurance Premium.



(a)                   Tenant agrees that it shall not keep, use, sell or offer for sale in or upon the Leased Premises any article which may be prohibited by the standard form of fire insurance policy. Tenant agrees to pay any increase in Landlord’s premiums for fire and extended coverage insurance during the term of this Lease resulting from Tenant’s use of the Leased Premises or the type of merchandise sold by Tenant in the Leased Premises, whether or not Landlord has consented to the same. In determining whether increased premiums are the result of Tenant's use of the Leased Premises, a schedule, issued by the organization making the insurance rate on the Leased Premises, showing the various components of such rate, shall be conclusive evidence of the several items and charges which make up the fire insurance rate on the Leased Premises.



(b)                   In the event Tenant's use or occupancy of the Leased Premises causes an increase in Landlords premiums for the fire, boiler and/or casualty rates on the Leased Premises or any part thereof above the rate for the least hazardous type of occupancy legally permitted in the Leased Premises, Tenant shall also pay in such event, any additional premiums, including on the rent and terrorism insurance policy that may be carried by the Landlord for its protection against loss resulting from fire or terrorist act. Bills for such additional premiums shall be sent by Landlord to

Tenant at such times as Landlord may elect, and shall be due from, and payable by Tenant when sent, and the amount thereof shall be deemed to be, and shall be paid as, additional rent.



SECTION 13.06.

Waiver of Subrogation.



Neither party to this Lease shall be liable for any damage by fire or other peril includable in the coverage afforded by the standard form of fire insurance policy with extended coverage endorsement attached, no


 

matter how caused, it being understood that the damaged party will look solely to its insurer for reimbursement, provided that this waiver of liability shall apply only to the extent that the party incurring such loss is actually reimbursed for such loss by the proceeds of insurance. Landlord's and Tenant's policies of insurance shall contain a waiver of subrogation confirming the foregoing. Any waiver of rights required by this Section 13.06 shall be ineffective if such waiver shall be unobtainable, or result in a breach of the insurance contract or in material increase in the cost of insurance of the waiving party, unless the other party shall pay such increase within ten (10) days after notice thereof.



ARTICLE XIV - UTILITIES



SECTION 14.01.

Utility Charges.



(a)                   Tenant shall be solely responsible for and promptly pay all charges for electricity, gas, and water or any other utility used or consumed in the Leased Premises from and after the date possession of the Leased Premises are delivered to Tenant. Tenant will pay for electricity, gas and water as measured by a meter measuring Tenant's consumption thereof directly to utility provider in question. In no event shall Landlord be liable for an interruption or failure in the supply of any such utilities to the Leased Premises. Tenant is responsible for, and shall promptly pay, all charges for monitoring the sprinkler system (if any) within the Leased Premises.



(b)                   Tenant and Landlord agree that any utility easements requested by Tenant, shall be subject to Landlord's prior written approval, which approval shall be in Landlord's sole discretion. Such utility easements shall be in a form acceptable to Landlord, in its sole discretion, and further Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any and all costs and expenses relating to the negotiation and approval of such utility easements (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees).

SECTION 15.03.

Subordination.



This Lease, at lender(s) option, as the case may be, shall be automatically subordinate to any mortgage of the Shopping Center or portion thereof to which Landlord's interest in the Shopping Center or portion thereof is


 

subordinated and to any overlease by or under which Landlord holds its interest therein, regardless of the time when any such mortgage or any such overlease (or any notice thereof) is executed or recorded. Tenant hereby agrees to execute a confirmatory agreement which shall subordinate the Lease to the instrument(s) evidencing such loan or overlease in which the lender(s) or overlandlord agree for itself, its successors and assigns by written instrument in such form which is acceptable to the lender(s) or overlandlord, as the case may be: (i) to be bound by the terms of this Lease; provided, however, the lender(s) or overlandlord, as the case may be, shall not be (a) liable for any act or omission of any prior landlord (including Landlord); (b) bound by any rent or additional rent which Tenant might have paid for more than one (1) month in advance to any prior landlord (including Landlord); or (c) bound by any amendment or modification of the Lease made without lender's or overlandlord' s consent; (ii) to not disturb Tenant's use or possession of the Leased Premises in the event of a foreclosure of such lien or encumbrance so long as Tenant is not in default hereunder; (iii) to not join Tenant as a party defendant in any foreclosure proceeding relating to the Shopping Center or any part thereof (except to the extent required to prosecute said foreclosure proceeding); (iv) to require Tenant to give notice to the lender(s) or overlandlord, as the case may be, simultaneous with any notice given by Tenant to Landlord in the event that Landlord defaults; and (v) to require Tenant to give the lender(s) or overlandlord, as the case maybe, the right to cure a Landlord default simultaneous with Landlord's right to cure. If any ground lease covering the Leased Premises to which this Lease is subordinate shall be terminated, this Lease, at the option of the then-owner, shall become a direct lease with the then-owner of the Leased Premises.



SECTION 15.04.

Attorney-in-Fact.



Tenant shall, upon request of any party in interest, promptly execute such instruments or certificates necessary to carry out the intent of Article XV as shall be requested by Landlord. Tenant hereby irrevocably appoints Landlord as attorney-in-fact for Tenant with full power and authority to execute and deliver, in the name of Tenant, any such instruments or certificates.



SECTION 15.05.

Financial Data.



Tenant shall cooperate with Landlord in every reasonable respect to assist Landlord in securing financing on the Shopping Center, including, but not by way of limitation, supplying to Landlord and or its proposed lender detailed financial statements and factual background of Tenant.



ARTICLE XVI - ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING



SECTION 16.01.

Consent Required.



(a)                    Except as otherwise set forth herein, Tenant shall not, whether voluntarily, involuntarily or by operation of law, without in each instance obtaining the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent may be withheld in Landlord's sole discretion (a) assign or otherwise transfer this Lease or the term or estate herby granted, (b) sublet all or part of the Leased Premises or allow the same to be used or occupied by anyone other than Tenant, or (c) mortgage, pledge or encumber this Lease or all or part of the Leased Premises in any manner by reason of any act or omission on the part of Tenant.

(b)                   The consent by Landlord to any assignment or subletting shall not constitute a waiver of the necessity for such consent to any subsequent assignment or subletting. This prohibition against assigning or


 

subletting shall be construed to include a prohibition against any assignment or subletting by operation of law. If this Lease be assigned, or if the Leased Premises or any part thereof be underlet or occupied by any entity other than Tenant, Landlord may collect rent from the assignee, undertenant or occupant, and apply the net amount collected to the rent herein reserved, but no such assignment, underletting, occupancy or collection shall be deemed a waiver of this covenant, or the acceptance of the assignee, under-tenant or occupant as Tenant, or a release of Tenant from the further performance by Tenant of covenants on the part of Tenant herein contained.



For purposes of this Article 16, (i) the transfer, directly or indirectly, of a majority of any class of the issued and outstanding capital stock of any corporate tenant or subtenant, or the direct or indirect transfer or a majority of the total interest in any other entity (limited liability company, partnership or otherwise) which is a tenant or subtenant, however accomplished, whether in a single transaction or in a series of related or unrelated transactions (including, without limitation, and by way of example only, the transfer of a majority of the outstanding capital stock of a company which company owns a second tier company, which in turn owns 51% of the outstanding capital stock of a corporate tenant hereunder), shall be deemed an assignment of this Lease, or of such sublease, as the case may be, (ii) a so called "takeover" agreement (i.e., an agreement where another entity agrees to become responsible for all or a portion of Tenant's obligations under this Lease without actually entering into an assignment or sublease) shall be deemed a transfer of this Lease, (iii) any person or legal representative of Tenant, to whom Tenant's interest under this Lease passes by operation of law, or otherwise, shall be bound by the provisions of this Article 16, and (iv) a modification, amendment or extension without Landlord's prior written consent of a sublease previously consented to by Landlord shall be deemed a new sublease. Tenant agrees to furnish to Landlord upon demand at any time and from time to time such information and assurances as Landlord may reasonably request that neither Tenant, nor any subtenant, is in violation of the provisions of this Section 16.01. As long as Embassy Bank is Tenant, Tenant shall have the privilege, subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, without the consent of Landlord, to assign its interest in this Lease (i) to any corporation which is a successor to Tenant either by merger or consolidation, (ii) to a purchaser of all of Tenant's assets (provided such purchaser shall have also assumed substantially all of Tenant's liabilities) or (iii) to a person or entity which shall (1) Control (2) be under the Control of, or (3) be under common Control with Tenant (any such Person referred to in this clause (iii) being a "Related Entity"). As long as Embassy Bank is Tenant, Tenant shall have the privilege, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, without the consent of Landlord to sublease all or any portion of the Leased Premises to a Related Entity. Any assignment or subletting described above may only be made upon the condition that (a) any such assignee or subtenant shall continue to use the Leased Premises for the conduct of the same business as Tenant was conducting prior to such assignment or sublease, (b) the principal purpose of such assignment or sublease is not the acquisition of Tenant's interest in this Lease or to circumvent the provisions of this Section 16.02, and (c) in the case of an assignment, any such assignee shall have a net worth and annual income and cash flow, determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied, after giving effect to such assignment, equal to the greater of Tenant's net worth and annual income and cash flow, as so determined, on (i) the date immediately preceding the date of such assignment, and (ii) the Commencement Date. Tenant shall, within ten (10) days after execution thereof, deliver to Landlord either (x) a duplicate original instrument of assignment in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, duly executed by Tenant, together with an instrument in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, duly executed by the assignee, in which such assignee shall assume observance and performance of, and agree to be personally bound by, all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease on Tenant's part to be observed and performed, or (y) a duplicate original sublease in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, duly executed by Tenant and the subtenant. "Control" or "control" shall mean ownership of more than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding voting stock of a corporation or other majority equity and control interest if not a corporation and the possession of power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policy of such corporation or other entity, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by statute or according to the provisions of a contract.

(c)                    In the event the Tenant shall seek Landlord's consent pursuant to this Section 16.01, Tenant shall furnish Landlord with such information regarding the proposed assignee or sublessee as the Landlord may reasonably request, including, without limitation, information regarding the financial viability and business experience of the proposed assignee or sublessee.



(d)                   Notwithstanding any assignment or sublease: (i) Tenant and any guarantor, if any, shall always remain fully liable under the lease and shall not be released from performing any of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease; (ii) the assignment or subletting shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Lease; (iii) any assignee shall assume, in writing, all of Tenant's obligations under this Lease; (iv) Tenant shall give Landlord at least thirty (30) days prior written notice of any such assignment or subletting; (v) Tenant shall pay over to Landlord, on a monthly basis, all profit derived by Tenant from any assignment or subletting; and (vi) Tenant further agrees that it will reimburse Landlord for Landlord's reasonable expenses, arising out of said assignment or sublet, including reasonable attorney's fees, whether such assignment or sublease was approved by Landlord or not.



(e)                   Notwithstanding the foregoing, in lieu of consenting to any such proposed assignment or subletting, Landlord may, within thirty (30) days following Landlord's receipt of Tenant's notice of such proposed assignment or subletting, elect to terminate this Lease upon at least sixty (60) days notice thereof to Tenant.



SECTION 16.02.

Additional Security Deposit upon Assignment or Sublease.



If Landlord should consent to an assignment or sublease, Tenant agrees to assign, transfer and set over to its assignee or sublessee all of Tenant's right, title and interest in and to any and all security deposit(s) held by Landlord and to look only to assignee or sublessee for reimbursement and to indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless from any and all claims, demands, suits, actions, judgments, costs and obligations, including reasonable attorneys fees in connection therewith.



ARTICLE XVII - WASTE AND COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS



SECTION 17.01.

Waste or Nuisance.



Tenant shall not commit or suffer to be committed any waste upon the Leased Premises or any nuisance or other act or thing which may disturb the quiet enjoyment of any other tenant in the building in which the Leased Premises may be located, or in the Shopping Center, or which may disturb the quiet enjoyment of any person within five hundred feet (500') of the boundaries of the Shopping Center.



SECTION 17.02.

Compliance with Laws.



Tenant shall, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, comply with all of the requirements of all county, municipal, state, federal and other applicable governmental authorities, and Landlord's insurance underwriters, now in force, or which may hereafter be in force, pertaining to the Leased Premises, and shall faithfully observe in the use of the Leased Premises, all county and municipal ordinances and regulations and all local and state and federal statutes and laws now in force or which may hereafter be in force.

Tenant shall be entitled to receive notice and the right to vote at all meetings of the Merchant's Association if in good standing.



ARTICLE XIX - DESTRUCTION



SECTION 19.01.

Total or Partial Destruction.



If the Leased Premises and any necessary Common Areas ancillary or adjacent thereto shall be damaged by fire, the elements, unavoidable accident or other casualty, but are not thereby rendered untenantable in whole or in part, Landlord shall at its own expense cause such damage to be repaired, and the rent shall not be abated. If by reason of such occurrence, the Leased Premises shall be rendered untenantable only in part, Landlord shall, at its own expense, cause the damage to be repaired, and the Minimum Rent and additional rent shall be abated proportionately as to the portion of the Leased Premises rendered untenantable provided that same can be accomplished within 90 days of such destruction. If the Leased Premises shall be rendered wholly untenantable by reason of such occurrence, Landlord shall, at its own cost and expense, cause such damage to the Leased Premises (but not to Tenant's improvements or personal property) to be repaired, and the Minimum Rent and additional rent shall abate until the Leased Premises have been restored and rendered tenantable, or Landlord may at its election, terminate this Lease and the tenancy hereby created, by giving Tenant within the next sixty (60) days following the date of said occurrence, written notice of Landlord's election so to do and in the event of such termination rent shall be adjusted as of such date.



SECTION 19.02.

Rent shall be adjusted as of the date of such termination.

ARTICLE XX - EMINENT DOMAIN

 

SECTION 20.01.

Total Condemnation of Leased Premises.



If the whole of the Leased Premises shall be acquired or condemned by eminent domain for any public or quasi-public use or purpose, then the term of this Lease shall cease and terminate as of the date of title vesting in such proceeding and all rent shall be paid up to and including that date and Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord for the value of any unexpired term of this Lease.



SECTION 20.02.

Partial Condemnation.



If any part of the Leased Premises shall be acquired or condemned as aforesaid, and in the event that such partial taking or condemnation shall render the Leased Premises unsuitable for the business of Tenant, then the term of this Lease shall cease and terminate as of the date of title vesting in such proceeding. Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord for the value of any unexpired term of this Lease and rent shall be adjusted up to and including the date of such termination. In the event of a partial taking or condemnation which is not extensive enough to render the Leased Premises unsuitable for the business of Tenant, then Landlord shall promptly restore the Leased Premises (but not Tenant's improvements or personal property) to a condition comparable to its condition at the time of such condemnation less the portion lost in the taking, and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect without any reduction or abatement of rent.



SECTION 20.03.

Total Condemnation of Parking Area.



If the whole of the parking areas located in the Common Areas of the Shopping Center shall be acquired or condemned as aforesaid, then the term of this Lease shall cease and terminate as of the date of title vesting in such proceeding unless Landlord shall take immediate steps to provide other parking facilities substantially equal to the previously existing ratio between the parking areas and the Leased Premises, and such substantially equal parking facilities shall be provided by Landlord at its own expense within ninety (90) days from the date of acquisition. In the event that Landlord shall provide such other substantially equal parking facilities, then this Lease shall continue in full force and effect without any reduction or abatement of rent.



SECTION 20.04.

Partial Condemnation of Parking Area.



If any part of the parking areas in the Common Areas of the Shopping Center shall be acquired or condemned as aforesaid, and if, as the result thereof, the ratio of square feet of parking field to square feet of the sales area of the entire Shopping Center buildings is reduced to a ratio below two to one, then the term of this Lease shall cease and terminate upon the vesting of title in such proceeding, unless Landlord shall take immediate steps toward increasing the parking ratio to a ratio in excess of two to one, in which event this Lease shall be unaffected and remain in full force and effect without any reduction or abatement of rent. In event of termination of this Lease as aforesaid, Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord nor the condemning authority for the value of any unexpired term of this Lease and rent shall be adjusted up to and including the date of said termination.

In the event of any condemnation or taking as aforesaid, whether whole or partial, Tenant shall not be entitled to any part of the award paid for such condemnation and Landlord is to receive the full amount of such award. Tenant hereby expressly waives any right or claim to any part thereof.



SECTION 20.06.

Tenant's Damages.



Although all damages in the event of any condemnation are to belong to the Landlord whether such damages are awarded as compensation for diminution in value of the leasehold or to the fee of the Leased Premises, Tenant shall have the right to claim and recover from the condemning authority, but not from Landlord, such compensation as may be separately awarded or recoverable by Tenant in Tenant's own right on account of any and all damage to Tenant's business by reason of the condemnation and for or on account of any cost or loss which Tenant might sustain in removing Tenant's business by reason of the condemnation and for or on account of any cost or loss which Tenant might sustain in removing Tenant's merchandise, furniture, fixtures, leasehold improvements and equipment.



SECTION 20.07.

Condemnation of Less than a Fee.



In the event of a condemnation of a leasehold interest in all or a portion of the Leased Premises without the concurrent condemnation of the fee simple title, this Lease shall not terminate and such condemnation shall not excuse Tenant from full performance of all of its covenants hereunder, but Tenant in such event shall be entitled to present or pursue against the condemning authority its claim for and to receive all compensation or damages sustained by it by reason of such condemnation, and Landlord's right to recover compensation or damages shall be limited to compensation for and damages if any, to its reversionary interest; it being understood however, that during such time as Tenant shall be out of possession of the Leased Premises by reason of such condemnation, the lease shall not be subject to forfeiture for failure to observe and perform those covenants not calling for the payment of money. In the event the condemning authority shall fail to keep the Leased Premises in the state of repair required hereunder, or to perform any other covenant not calling for the payment of money, Tenant shall have ninety (90) days after the restoration of possession to it within which to carry out its obligations under such covenant or covenants. During such time as Tenant shall be out of possession of the Leased Premises by reason of such leasehold condemnation, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in lieu of the Minimum Rent provided for hereunder, and in addition to any other payments required of Tenant hereunder, an annual rent equal to the average annual Minimum Rent paid by Tenant for the period from the commencement of the term until the condemning authority shall take possession, or during the preceding three full calendar years, whichever period is shorter. At any time after such condemnation proceedings are commenced Landlord shall have the right, at its option, to require Tenant to assign to Landlord all compensation and damages payable by the condemnor to Tenant, to be held without liability for interest thereon as security for the full performance of Tenant's covenants hereunder, such compensation and damages received pursuant to said assignment to be applied first to the payment of rents and all other sums from time to time payable by Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Lease as such sums fall due, and the remainder, if any, to be payable to Tenant at, the end of the term hereof, or on restoration of possession of the Leased Premises to Tenant, whichever shall first occur, it being understood and agreed that such assignment shall not relieve Tenant of any of its obligations under this Lease with respect to such rents, and other sums except as the same shall be actually received by Landlord.

Tenant shall be deemed in default hereunder in the event of any failure of Tenant to pay any rent when due hereunder. In the event Tenant shall be in default or Tenant fails to perform any other of the terms, conditions or covenants of this Lease to be observed or performed by Tenant for more than thirty (30) days after written notice of such default shall have been sent by Landlord, or if Tenant or an agent of Tenant shall falsify any report required to be furnished to Landlord pursuant to the terms of this Lease, or if Tenant or any guarantor of this Lease shall become bankrupt or insolvent, or file any debtor proceedings or take or have taken against Tenant or any guarantor of this Lease in any court pursuant to any statute either of the United States or of any State a petition in bankruptcy or insolvency or for reorganization or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee of all or a portion of Tenant's or any such guarantor's properly, or if Tenant or any such guarantor makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or petitions for or enters into an arrangement, or if Tenant shall abandon said premises, or suffer this Lease to be taken under any writ of execution, the Landlord besides other rights or remedies it may have, hereunder or by law or in equity, shall have the immediate right of re-entry and may remove all persons and property from the Leased Premises and such property may, at Landlord's option, either be removed and stored in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost of, and for the account of Tenant, or may be disposed of by Landlord as it, in its sole discretion, deems fit, all without service of notice or resort to legal process and without being deemed guilty of trespass, or becoming liable for any loss or damage which may be occasioned thereby.



SECTION 21.02.

Right to Relet.



Should Landlord elect to re-enter, as herein provided, or should it take possession pursuant to legal proceeding or pursuant to any notice provided for by law, Landlord may either terminate this Lease or may, from time to time, without terminating this Lease, make such alterations and repairs as may be necessary in order to relet the Leased Premises and may relet said Leased Premises or any part thereof for such term or terms (which may be for a term extending beyond the term of this Lease) and at such rental or rentals and upon such other terms and conditions as Landlord in its sole discretion may deem advisable; and upon each such reletting all rent received by the Landlord from such reletting shall be applied, first, to the payment of any indebtedness other than rent, due hereunder from Tenant to Landlord; second, to the payment of any costs and expenses of such reletting, including brokerage fees, attorney's fees, free rent and of costs of such alterations and repairs; third, to the payment of rent due and unpaid hereunder, and the residue, if any, shall be held by Landlord and applied in payment of future rent as the same may become due and payable hereunder. If such rent received from such reletting during any month shall be less than that to be paid during that month by Tenant hereunder, Tenant shall pay any such deficiency to Landlord. Such deficiency shall be calculated and paid monthly. No such re-entry or taking possession of said Leased Premises by Landlord shall be construed as an election on its part to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such intention be given to Tenant or unless the termination thereof be decreed by a court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding any such reletting without termination, Landlord may, at any time thereafter, elect to terminate this Lease for such previous default. Should Landlord at any time terminate this Lease for any default, in addition to any other remedies it may have, it may recover from Tenant all damages it may incur by reason of such default, including the cost of recovering the Leased Premises, reasonable attorneys fees, and including the worth at the time of such termination of the excess, if any, of the amount of rent and charges equivalent to rent reserved in this Lease for the remainder of the stated term over the then reasonable rental value of the Leased Premises for the remainder of the stated term, all of which amounts shall be immediately due and payable from Tenant to Landlord. In determining the rent which would be payable by Tenant hereunder, subsequent to default, the annual rent for each year of the unexpired term shall be equal to the average annual Minimum Rent payable by Tenant from the commencement of the term to the time of default, or during the preceding three full calendar years, whichever period is shorter. If Landlord terminates this Lease as a result of a default by Tenant under this Lease, Landlord agrees to use reasonable efforts to re-let the Leased Premises, which reasonable efforts will be deemed satisfied if Landlord lists the Leased Premises for re-letting with a local real estate broker.

In the event Landlord sends Tenant a legal notice pursuant to the terms of this Lease due to a default (monetary or non-monetary), Tenant shall pay to Landlord as additional rent the sum of Two Hundred and Fifty Dollars ($250.00) to cover the legal fees in connection with the preparation and service of such notice.



In the event Tenant requests Landlord to review and execute any documentation relating to Tenant's occupancy or use (including, without limitation, assignments, subletting or tenant financing) of the Leased Premises, Tenant agrees to promptly reimburse Landlord, for all fees and expenses (legal, administrative or otherwise) incurred by Landlord in connection with the processing of such requests and/or transaction regardless of the ultimate resolution thereof.

In the event Landlord commences any proceedings for non-payment of rent, Minimum Rent or additional rent, Tenant shall not interpose any counterclaim of whatever nature or description in any such proceedings. This shall not, however, be construed as a waiver of Tenant's right to assert such claims in any separate action or actions brought by Tenant.



SECTION 21.05.

Waiver of Rights of Redemption.



Tenant hereby expressly waives any and all rights of redemption granted by or under any present or future laws in the event of Tenant being evicted or dispossessed for any cause, or in the event of Landlord obtaining possession of the Leased Premises, by reason of the violation by Tenant of any of the covenants or conditions of this Lease, or otherwise.

Landlord shall be allowed to take all material into and upon the Leased Premises that may be required therefor without the same constituting an eviction of Tenant in whole or in part and the rent reserved shall in no way abate while said repairs, alterations, improvements, or additions are being made, by reason of loss or interruption of business of Tenant, or otherwise. During the six (6) months prior to the expiration of the term of this Lease or any renewal term, Landlord may exhibit the Leased Premises to prospective tenants or purchasers, and place upon the Leased Premises the usual notices "To

Nothing herein contained, however, shall be deemed or construed to impose upon Landlord any obligation, responsibility or liability whatsoever, for the care, maintenance or repair of the building or any part thereof, except as otherwise herein specifically provided.
