to such premiums next becoming due. If Tenant’s payment of premiums for the
Property Insurance for any Lease Year is less than the total amount of such
premiums due for such period, Tenant shall pay the difference to Landlord upon
demand.
ARTICLE

misconduct of Landlord, (ii) such disruption continues for a period in excess
of
seventy-two (72) consecutive hours and (iii) such disruption materially affects
Tenant's business operations at the Premises. In no event shall such disruption
constitute constructive eviction or entitle Tenant to an abatement of rent
or
other charges except that if the Premises are untenantable for a period in
excess of seventy-two (72) hours, the Rent shall be abated for each business
day
during the period of such excess. In the event that Landlord is required to

of Tenant.
Section
1:
If

or
earlier termination of this Lease, Landlord may, at its option, remove all

ARTICLE

Tenant
shall not carry any goods or conduct its business in a manner which will in
any

which they are a part. Tenant agrees to pay as additional rent any increase
in
Landlord's premiums for the Property Insurance, resulting from Xxxxxx's
activities, whether or not Landlord has consented to such activity. If Tenant
installs any equipment that overloads any of the Premises’ utility systems,
Tenant shall at its own expense make whatever changes are necessary to these
systems to comply with the requirements of the insurance underwriters and
governmental authorities having jurisdiction. Tenant shall promptly comply
with
the recommendations or demands made by the insurance carrier insuring the
Premises concerning health, safety and welfare matters. If Tenant fails to
comply, Landlord may take all steps necessary to comply with the insurance
carrier's recommendation or demands and charge Tenant for all costs of
compliance plus a service charge of fifteen percent (15%), as additional
rent.
Section

and two million dollars ($2,000,000) for more than one person in any single
incident. Tenant shall furnish Landlord with a certificate of insurance or
other
acceptable evidence that such insurance is in force, and evidence that the
premiums have been timely paid by Xxxxxx.
Section
3:
All
insurance required of Tenant in this Lease shall include (i) Landlord and
Landlord's Managing Agent, if any, as additional insureds; (ii) a clause or
endorsement denying the insurer any right of subrogation against Landlord and
Managing Agent to the extent rights have been waived by Tenant prior to the
occurrence of injury or loss; and (iii) a provision requiring the insurer to
give Landlord thirty (30) days' notice prior to cancellation. Tenant waives
any
rights of recovery against Landlord and Managing Agent for injury or loss due
to
hazards covered by insurance, and Landlord, for itself and on behalf of Managing
Agent, waives any rights of recovery against Tenant for injury or loss due
to
hazards covered by insurance.
In
the
event Tenant fails to purchase and maintain the insurance required herein,
Landlord may purchase such insurance on behalf of Tenant and charge Tenant
the
premium for such insurance, as additional rent.
ARTICLE
12. Garbage

Tenant
shall, pro rata based upon Tenant occupied square footage, pay charges of
garbage removal. Dumpster shall be located in an area reasonably approved by
the
Landlord and reasonably accessible to Tenant.
ARTICLE
13. Assignment,
Sublease or Transfer.
Section
1:
Tenant
shall not, without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, assign, encumber, dispose of, convey,
or transfer this Lease or any interest under this Lease. Tenant shall not allow
any assignment, subletting or other transfer of this Lease or any lien upon
Tenant's interest by operation of law (other than by merger or any similar
transaction) or by voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy, insolvency or
reorganization proceedings, and if any such transfer does occur, it shall be
governed by Section 2 of this Article 13. Xxxxxx's request for an assignment
or
other transfer shall be in writing to Landlord and will only be considered
by
Landlord if Tenant is not in default of any provision of this Lease. The Tenant
shall have the right to freely assign the Lease to an existing entity owned
or
controlled by the owners of Tenant without approval of Landlord. If Landlord
shall consent to any assignment, the assignee shall assume all obligations
of
Tenant under this Lease and neither Tenant nor any assignee shall be relieved
of
any liability under this Lease and in the event of default by the assignee
in
the performance of any of the terms of this Lease, no notice of such default
or
demand of any kind need be served on Tenant or assignee to hold it or them
liable to Landlord. If Xxxxxx's interest in this Lease be assigned or if the
Premises or any part thereof be sublet, Landlord may, after default by Tenant,
collect the rent from the assignee or subtenant and apply the net amount
collected to Minimum Base Rent and any additional rent due from Tenant. No
such
collection shall be deemed a waiver of the covenant herein against sale,
transfer, mortgage, assignment and subletting or release of Tenant from the
performance of the covenants herein contained. In the event of such default,
Tenant hereby assigns the rent due from the subtenant or assignee to Landlord,
and hereby authorizes such subtenant or assignee to pay all rent directly to
Landlord. Upon any assignment of this Lease, including but not limited to any
assignment by merger, transfer of stock, or transfer of stock or interest to
Tenant's parent affiliate or subsidiary, the assignee shall execute and deliver
to Landlord an instrument, in the form and substance reasonably satisfactory
to
Landlord and such assignee, pursuant to which such assignee shall assume and
agree to perform all obligations of Tenant under this Lease from and after
the
effective date of such assignment; provided, however, if Tenant is merged out
of
existence, such time limitation will not apply, and the assignee will be
responsible for Tenant's obligations regardless of accrual date. Any assignment,
subletting, or other transfer of the Premises by Tenant without Landlord's
written consent shall be, at the option of Landlord, null and void, and shall
constitute a default under this Lease. Xxxxxxxx's written consent to any one
assignment or other transfer shall not constitute a waiver of the consent
requirements with respect to any subsequent assignment or transfer.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, including
any
of the restrictions of this Article 13, Section 1, the Tenant may, without
obtaining the consent of Landlord, assign all or any portion of the Lease to
any
subsidiary bank to be wholly-owned by the original Tenant, to any holding
company of which the original Tenant becomes a wholly-owned subsidiary, or
to
any separately chartered financial institution in which the equity owners of
Tenant are also equity owners, and in addition thereto, the consent of the
Landlord shall not be required in connection with the then current Tenant
entering into any transaction (including but not limited to a merger,
consolidation, stock purchase, share exchange or similar transaction) whereby
the shares of the Tenant are acquired by another entity or whereby the Tenant
is
merged into or otherwise acquired by another entity such that the Tenant or
any
other entity which is the survivor of such transaction acquires the assets
and
assumes all of the liabilities of the Tenant.

Section
2:
(a)
Cumulative
Rights.
The
provisions of this Article concerning the rights and obligations of Landlord,
and the rights and obligations of Tenant and any Trustee in a proceeding
("Title
11 Proceeding")
involving Tenant as debtor under the United States Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C.
Section 101 et
seq.
(the
"Bankruptcy Code"), are in addition to all other rights and obligations provided
by law, including other applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code. Nothing
contained in this Article 14 shall limit or reduce in any manner whatsoever
the
rights and obligations which are otherwise provided by law.
(b) Election
to Assume.
(i) This
is a
Lease of real property in a building within the meaning of Section 365(b)(3)
of
the Bankruptcy Code. Landlord and Tenant agree that, except as provided in
this
Article 13, Tenant will be deemed in "possession" of the Premises for purposes
of the Bankruptcy Code so long as this Lease is in effect and Tenant or any
subtenant or assignee authorized under the terms of this Lease is actually
present or conducting business in the Premises.
(ii) If
Tenant
becomes a Debtor under any chapter of the Bankruptcy Code, and the Trustee
or
Tenant elects to assume this Lease, such election may only be made if all the
terms and conditions of subparagraph (c) below are satisfied. If the Trustee
or
Tenant fails to elect to assume or reject this Lease by the sixtieth (60th)
day
after the entry of the Order for Relief in a case under the Bankruptcy Code
or
such longer period as the bankruptcy court may order, thereafter this Lease
will
be deemed rejected and terminated in accordance with Section 365(d)(4) of the
Bankruptcy Code. Thereupon the Trustee or Xxxxxx must immediately surrender
possession of the Premises to Landlord, and Landlord will have no further
obligation to Tenant or Trustee under this Lease. The acceptance of rent by
Landlord after the sixtieth (60th) day will not be a waiver of Landlord's rights
herein or under Section 365(d)(4) of the Bankruptcy Code, and Landlord's right
to be compensated for damages in such bankruptcy shall survive.
(c) Conditions
of Assumption.
No
election by the Trustee or Tenant to assume this Lease under Section 365(a)
of
the Bankruptcy Code will be effective unless each of the following conditions,
which Landlord and Tenant acknowledge are commercially reasonable in the context
of a Title 11 Proceeding of Tenant, have been satisfied, and Landlord has so
acknowledged in writing:
(i) Landlord
has not terminated this Lease pursuant to this Lease or under applicable state
law, prior to the commencement of a Title 11 Proceeding involving Tenant as
debtor.
(ii) The
Trustee or Tenant has cured, and has provided Landlord "adequate assurance
of
future performance" (as defined in subparagraph (d)) that:
(1) Within
ten (10) days from the entry of an order granting the Trustee or Tenant
authority to assume, the Trustee or Tenant will cure all monetary defaults
under
this Lease;
(2) Within
ten (10) days from the entry of an order granting the Trustee or Tenant
authority to assume, the Trustee or Tenant will compensate Landlord for any
actual pecuniary loss resulting from defaults under this Lease, including but
not limited to, the attorneys' fees provided in this Lease, including but not
limited to, subparagraph (e) below; and
6
(3) Within
thirty (30) days from the entry of an order granting the Trustee or Tenant
authority to assume, the Trustee or Tenant will cure all nonmonetary defaults
under this Lease.
(d) Assignment.
If the
Trustee or Tenant is assuming this Lease for the purpose of transferring
Tenant's interest under this Lease or the estate created thereby, to any other
person (the "Transferee"),
pursuant to Section 365(f) of the Bankruptcy Code, such interest or estate
may
be so transferred only if the intended Transferee has provided "adequate
assurance of future performance" (defined below) of all the provisions of this
Lease to be performed by Tenant. Subject to other provisions of this Lease,
for
purposes of this subparagraph (d), Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that, in
the
context of a Title 11 Proceeding involving Tenant as debtor, at a minimum
"adequate assurance of future performance" means that each of the following
conditions have been satisfied:
(i) The
Transferee together with any guarantor of the Transferee has a net worth similar
to or greater than the net worth of Tenant on the date of this Lease and such
net worth shall be evidenced by audited financial statements prepared by a
reputable certified public accountant and otherwise in such additional
information as Landlord reasonably may require; and
(ii) The
Transferee, if requested by Landlord, has obtained guarantees in form and
substance satisfactory to Landlord from one or more persons or entities who
satisfy Landlord's standards of credit worthiness; and
(iii) The
Transferee has submitted in writing evidence, satisfactory to Landlord, of
substantial operating experience in premises of comparable size to the Premises
and in the use of the Premises as provided in this Lease.
Any
Transferee will be deemed to have assumed all of the obligations arising under
this Lease on and after the date of such assignment, and upon Xxxxxxxx’s demand
will execute a Lease amendment changing the name of the tenant and its address
for notices and confirming the Transferee's assumption of this
Lease.
(e) Attorneys'
Fees.
If, in
the context of a Title 11 Proceeding involving Tenant as debtor, Landlord incurs
any expense, including reasonable attorneys' fees, in (1) contesting or
protecting its rights in connection with any assumption or attempted assignment
of this Lease or (2) enforcing or attempting to enforce the terms of this Lease
or any actions required under the Bankruptcy Code to be taken by the Trustee
or
Tenant, the reasonable sums so paid by Landlord shall be awarded to Landlord
by
the Bankruptcy Court and shall be immediately due and payable by the Trustee
or
Xxxxxx's estate in accordance with the Bankruptcy Court's order.
ARTICLE
14. Entry
and Inspection.
Subject
to existing law regulating banking which pertains to security and entry of
a
secured banking facility, Landlord and its authorized representatives shall
have
the right to enter upon the Area then leased by Tenant during business hours
(upon 24 hours’ written notice) to inspect the Area then rented by Tenant or for
making repairs, additions or alterations. If Landlord reasonably deems any
repairs required to be made by Tenant necessary, it may demand that Tenant
make
the repairs promptly, and, if Tenant refuses or neglects to commence such
repairs and complete them as otherwise set forth in this Lease, Landlord may
make or cause such repairs to be made. If Landlord makes or causes such repairs
to be made, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the cost of the repairs plus a ten
percent (10%) service charge, as additional rent. For a period commencing one
hundred twenty (120) days prior to the termination of this Lease, Landlord
may
have reasonable access during business hours (upon 24 hours’ written notice) to
the Area then rented by Tenant for the purpose of exhibiting that portion of
the
Premises to prospective tenants and for posting leasing signs.
ARTICLE
15. Eminent
Domain.
If the
whole of the Premises shall be taken by any public authority under the power
of
eminent domain, then at the time of taking the term of this Lease shall cease,
and the Minimum Base Rent, and all additional rent due shall be paid up to
that
day. If any part of the Premises shall be taken, and such partial taking shall
render that portion not taken unsuitable for the business of Tenant, as
reasonably determined by Tenant, then the term of this Lease shall cease and
the
rent due shall be paid up to that date. If such partial taking is not extensive
enough to render the Premises unsuitable for the business of Tenant, then this
Lease shall continue in effect except that the Minimum Base Rent shall be
reduced in the same proportion that the floor area of the Premises taken bears
to the original floor area demised. If this Lease is not terminated pursuant
to
this Article 15, Landlord shall, within one hundred eighty (180) days after
receipt of the condemnation award, make all necessary repairs or alterations
to
the Premises in which the Premises are located so as to constitute the portion
of the Premises not taken a complete architectural unit; provided, however
that
such work shall not exceed the scope of the work to be done by Landlord in
originally constructing said building (unless otherwise required by
then-applicable governmental regulations or laws) and Landlord shall not be
required to spend for such work an amount in excess of the amount received
by
Landlord as damages for the part of the Premises so taken. "Amount
received by Xxxxxxxx"
shall
mean that part of the condemnation award, which is free and clear to Landlord
of
any collection of mortgages for the value of the diminished fee. If more than
twenty percent (20%) of the floor area of the building in which the Premises
are
located, or more than twenty percent (20%) of the Premises’ parking, shall be
taken, either party may terminate this Lease upon thirty (30) days' written
notice to the other. All damages awarded for such taking shall belong to
Landlord whether such damages shall be awarded as compensation for diminution
in
value to the leasehold or to the fee of the Premises; provided, however, that
Landlord shall not be entitled to any portion of the award made to Tenant for
cost of removal of stock and fixtures. Tenant shall be free, in its sole and
absolute discretion, to interplead and seek damages or award for business
damages as a result of the condemnation.

ARTICLE
16. Destruction
or Damage.
If the
Premises shall be damaged by fire, the elements or other casualty not due to
Tenant's gross negligence or willful misconduct but are not rendered
untenantable in whole or in part and which do not materially impair Tenant’s
access to the Area then rented by Tenant, Landlord shall within a reasonable
time and at its own expense commence to cause such damage to be repaired and
the
Minimum Base Rent, and all additional rent shall not be abated. If by reason
of
such occurrence, the Area then rented by Tenant shall be rendered untenantable
in whole or in part or materially inaccessible, Landlord shall, at its own
expense, cause the damage to be repaired and the Minimum Base Rent shall be
equitably and reasonably abated until such damage is repaired. In the event
Landlord repairs the Premises, Landlord and Tenant shall have the same
respective obligations to construct or install improvements as were imposed
on
said parties at the execution of this Lease. Tenant shall, at its sole
discretion and expense, replace its stock in trade, fixtures, furniture, and
equipment. However, in the event fifty percent (50%) or more of the Area then
rented by Tenant is rendered untenantable by such casualty, Tenant shall have
the right, to be exercised by notice to Landlord in writing within sixty (60)
days of the occurrence of such casualty, to elect to terminate this Lease,
and
in such event this Lease and the tenancy created hereby shall cease as of the
date of termination of this Lease and the Minimum Base Rent and all additional
rent shall be adjusted as of such date.
If
the
Premises are destroyed or damaged during the last twelve (12) months of the
term
of this Lease (initial or as extended) and the estimated cost of repair exceeds
ten percent (10%) of the Minimum Base Rent then remaining to be paid by Tenant
for the balance of the Lease Term and Tenant fails to exercise any options
to
renew this Lease that Tenant may have, then, Landlord or Tenant may, at its
option, cancel and terminate this Lease as of the date of occurrence of such
damage by giving written notice to the other of its election to do so within
sixty (60) days of the date of occurrence of such damage, and Minimum Base
Rent
and all additional rent shall be adjusted as of such date.
During
any period of construction or repair pursuant to this Article 16, Landlord
hereby approves Tenant’s placement of reasonable temporary office and storage
facilities on the Premises (including but not limited to a trailer or
recreational vehicle) in order to facilitate the continuity of Tenant’s business
operations.
For
purposes of this section of this Lease, a licensed architect reasonably
acceptable to Tenant designated by Landlord shall determine the extent of the
damage or destruction and will provide Landlord and Tenant with certificates
attesting to the condition of the Premises or building in which the Premises
are
situated. The architect's certificate shall bind the parties as to: (a) whether
or not all or a portion of the Premises or Area then rented by Tenant are
rendered untenantable and the extent of untenantability; and (b) the date the
Premises or building became untenantable, the date the Premises or building
will
regain tenantability, and the date they regained tenantability.
ARTICLE
17. Default
and Remedies.
If
Tenant (i) fails to pay Minimum Base Rent or any additional rent due under
this
Lease at the time and in the manner required by this Lease and such failure
continues for a period of ten (10) days after delivery of written notice from
Landlord to Tenant, more than twice during a twelve (12) month consecutive
period, Xxxxxx's third failure to pay Minimum Base Rent or any additional rent
due within ten (10) days of the time and in the manner required by this Lease
within such twelve (12) consecutive month period shall be an immediate default
by Tenant without any requirements for the delivery of any prior written notice;
(ii) fails to perform any other condition, stipulation or agreement of this
Lease and such failure continues for a period of thirty (30) days from the
date
Tenant receives written notice of such default (unless such default is of a
nature that it cannot be reasonably cured within said thirty (30) day period
and
Tenant commences to cure such default within such thirty (30) day period and
thereafter pursues same with good faith and due diligence to completion); or,
(iii) is the subject of a lawsuit for involuntary bankruptcy or is adjudged
a
voluntary or involuntary bankrupt, makes an assignment for the benefit of
creditors, or, if there is a receiver appointed to take charge of the Premises
either in the State or Federal courts, Landlord may, at its option, declare
this
Lease in default, and shall, in addition to all remedies at law or in equity
available to Landlord, have the right to terminate this Lease and, subject
to
Landlord’s duty to mitigate losses, declare the entire Minimum Base Rent and
additional rent and any other charges, for the balance of the Lease Term due
and
payable immediately. Landlord shall also have the option, without terminating
this Lease, to resume possession and re-Lease or re-rent the Premises for the
remainder of the Lease Term for the account of Tenant. Landlord shall not be
required to pay Tenant any surplus of any sums received by Landlord on a
reletting of the Premises in excess of the Minimum Base Rent or additional
rent
to be paid by Xxxxxx as provided in this Lease. In the event Tenant is in
default of any non-monetary term of this Lease, and Tenant has not cured the
default within thirty (30) days of the date of Landlord's notice (unless such
default is of a nature that it cannot be reasonably cured within said thirty
(30) day period and Tenant commences to cure such default within such thirty
(30) day period and thereafter pursues same with good faith and due diligence
to
completion), in addition to Xxxxxxxx's other remedies provided in this Lease,
Landlord may cure the default and charge Tenant as additional rent the cost
of
such cure plus a fifteen percent (15%) service charge.
8
Without
waiving any other available rights and remedies, Landlord shall be entitled
to a
late charge, payable as additional rent, on any payment not made when due equal
to the greater of eighteen percent (18%) per annum or the maximum percentage
permitted by law. A service charge of one hundred dollars ($100.00) will be
assessed, as additional rent, for handling a returned check. In the event suit
is brought under this Lease, the prevailing party shall be awarded attorneys
fees and costs whether incurred before trial, at trial or on
appeal.
ARTICLE
18. Holdover.
In the
event Tenant remains in possession of the Premises after the Expiration Date
or
sooner termination of this Lease and without the execution of a new lease,
Tenant shall be deemed a Tenant at will from month to month, subject to all
the
conditions of this Lease except for the provision regarding the payment of
Minimum Base Rent and all additional rent. The parties recognize and agree
that
the damage to Landlord resulting from any failure by Xxxxxx to timely surrender
possession of the Premises may be substantial, likely would exceed the amount
of
the monthly installments of the Minimum Base Rent and all additional rent
payable under this Lease, and will be impossible to measure accurately. Tenant
therefore agrees that if possession of the Premises is not surrendered to
Landlord upon the expiration date or sooner termination of this Lease, in
addition to any other rights or remedies Landlord may have under this Lease
or
at law, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, without demand therefor as liquidated
damages, for each month and for each portion of any month during which Tenant
holds over in the Premises after the expiration date or sooner termination
of
this Lease, a sum equal to two (2) times the aggregate of that portion of the
Minimum Base Rent and all additional rent that was payable under this Lease
during the last month of the Lease Term. Nothing herein contained shall be
deemed to permit Tenant to retain possession of the Premises after the
expiration date or sooner termination of this Lease. Tenant shall defend,
indemnify, and hold Landlord harmless from any and all liabilities, loss, cost
and expense of every kind suffered by Landlord as a result of Xxxxxx's holding
over. The provisions of this paragraph shall survive the expiration date or
sooner termination of this Lease.
ARTICLE
19. Non-Waiver.
The
failure of Landlord in one or more instances to insist upon strict performance
or observance of one or more of the covenants or conditions of this Lease or
to
exercise any remedy, privilege or option reserved to Landlord, shall not be
construed as a waiver for the future of such covenant or condition or the right
to enforce the same or to exercise such privilege, option or remedy. The receipt
by Landlord of Minimum Base Rent and additional rent or any other payment
required to be made by Tenant shall not be a waiver of any other additional
rent
or payment then due, nor shall such receipt, though with knowledge of the breach
of any covenant or condition of this Lease, operate as or be deemed a waiver
by
Landlord of any of the provisions of this Lease, or of any of Landlord's rights,
remedies, privileges or options.
ARTICLE
20. Subordination.
So long
as the Tenant is not in Default of this Lease, Xxxxxxxx agrees that its lender
will provide Tenant with a Subordination and Non Disturbance Agreement
permitting Tenant to remain in the Premises under the same terms and conditions
as this Lease. Xxxxxx agrees that this Lease shall be subordinate to each and
every mortgage or ground lease that is now or may hereafter be placed upon
the
Premises and to any and all advances to be made and all renewals, replacements,
assignments, extensions and future advances of such mortgages or ground leases.
Xxxxxx agrees, upon request, to execute any document which Landlord may deem
necessary to accomplish that end, provided that such documents do not alter
any
of the material terms of this Lease.
ARTICLE
21. Notice.
All
notices required or contemplated by this Lease must be in writing and must
be
delivered in person, by United States Certified Mail, Return Receipt Requested,
or by a generally recognized overnight courier service (i.e. Federal Express),
at the addresses set forth in Article 1 of this Lease. For both Landlord and
Xxxxxx notices are deemed to have been given upon actual receipt or refusal
of
delivery. By giving at least ten (10) days advance written notice to the other
party, either party may change its address for notices under this
Lease.
ARTICLE
22. No
Liability for Damages.
Landlord, its mortgagees and agents shall not be liable to Tenant for any loss
or damage that may be occasioned by or through the acts or omissions of other
tenants in the Premises, or for any loss or damage resulting to Tenant or its
property from burst or leaking water, sprinkler or sewer pipes or from roof
leaks unless caused solely by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of
Landlord. Tenant shall defend (with an attorney acceptable to Landlord),
indemnify and hold harmless Landlord, its mortgagees and agents from any damages
or costs arising out of claims for injuries or damages due to the events
mentioned in this paragraph. The indemnity provided in this article shall
survive the expiration or termination of this Lease.
9
ARTICLE
23. Limit
of Liability.
Tenant
shall look solely to Xxxxxxxx's interest in the Premises for the satisfaction
of
any judgment or decree requiring the payment of money by Landlord, based upon
any default, and no other property or asset of Landlord, or any mortgagee,
shall
be subject to levy, execution or other enforcement procedure for the
satisfaction of such judgment or decree. In the event Tenant violates this
paragraph, in addition to all other remedies available to Landlord, Tenant
shall
pay Landlord an amount equal to the cost of Landlord's expenses defending the
claim, as additional rent.
ARTICLE
24. Delivery
of Premises.
Prior
to taking possession of the Premises, Xxxxxx will have inspected and accepted
the Premises "as is." By taking possession of the Premises, Xxxxxx will be
acknowledging that: (i) the Premises are in satisfactory condition and are
suitable for the use contemplated hereunder; and (ii) Landlord has complied
with
all of the requirements imposed upon it under the terms of this Lease and a
recertification of occupancy is granted by governmental authority.
ARTICLE
25. Real
Estate Broker.
Landlord and Tenant warrant and represent that there is no real estate broker
involved in this Lease, however, in the event that Tenant exercises its Option
to Purchase, Tenant shall pay a real estate commission of Two Percent (2%)
of
the purchase price to Coastal Property Services, Inc.
ARTICLE
26. Modified
Net Lease.
This is
a "modified net lease" in which Landlord has no responsibilities except as
expressly set out in this Lease. Landlord is not responsible during the Lease
Term for any costs, charges, expenses, tenant improvements, parking lot
maintenance or repair, or outlays of any nature arising from or relating to
the
Premises, except for those areas of the Premises not an Area then rented by

Certificates.
Tenant
agrees at any time, and from time to time, upon not less than ten (10) days'
prior notice by Landlord, to execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord,
a
statement in writing addressed to Landlord in form reasonably acceptable to
Tenant certifying the facts regarding the following: (a) that this Lease or
any
sublease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if there have been
modifications, that they are in full force and effect as modified and stating
the modifications), stating the dates to which the Minimum Base Rent or
additional rent and other charges have been paid; (b) Tenant has accepted
possession of the Area and is presently occupying the Area; (c) stating whether
or not to the best knowledge of the signer of such certificate, there exists
any
default by Landlord in the performance of any covenant, agreement, term,
provision or condition contained in this Lease, and if so, specifying each
such
default, it being intended that any such statement may be relied upon by
Landlord, by any holder or prospective holder of any mortgage affecting the
Premises or by any purchaser of the Premises; and, (d) any other information
reasonably requested by a prospective purchaser, mortgagee or tenant of the
Premises. Xxxxxx's failure to respond to Xxxxxxxx's request for a written
statement within the ten (10) day period mentioned in this article shall entitle
Landlord to execute said certificate in Xxxxxx’s stead as Xxxxxx’s attorney in
fact.
ARTICLE
30. Attornment.
In the
event of any transfer of the ownership of the Premises whether voluntary or
involuntary by foreclosure, bankruptcy, sale, or otherwise, Tenant shall attorn
to said transferee to the same extent as if said transferee were the initial
Landlord under this Lease.
ARTICLE
31. Waivers.
Each of
Landlord and Tenant waives its rights to trial by jury in any action or
proceeding or counterclaim brought against Landlord on any matter arising out
of
or in any way connected with this Lease, the relationship of Landlord and
Tenant, Xxxxxx's use or occupancy of the Premises, and any claim for Xxxxxx's
use or occupancy of the Premises, and any claim for injury or damage. In the
event Landlord commences any proceeding for the non-payment of Minimum Base
Rent
or additional rent, Tenant shall not file any counterclaims in such proceedings.
This shall not, however, be construed as a waiver of Tenant's right to assert
such counterclaims in a separate action brought by Xxxxxx. Tenant expressly
waives any and all rights of redemption granted by or under any present or
future laws should Tenant be evicted or disposed from the Premises for any
cause, or Landlord re-enters the Premises following the occurrence of any
default, or this Lease is terminated before the Lease Term stated in this Lease.
Tenant expressly waives any right to assert a defense based on merger and agrees
that neither the commencement or settlement of any action or proceeding, nor
the
entry of judgment shall bar Landlord from bringing any subsequent actions or
proceedings from time to time.

ARTICLE
32. Theft:
Landlord shall not be liable for any damage to, removal of, or loss of any
property of the Tenant occasioned by any theft, burglary, robbery, larceny
of
any kind (hereinafter called "theft"). Tenant will carry sufficient insurance
for its own protection and for the protection of the Premises in connection
with
damage or loss of property and expense from any damage or loss caused to the

a
result of any such theft. A report of any such theft to police or other proper
authorities shall be deemed conclusive that such occurrence or attempt was
made.
Tenant
hereby acknowledges that Landlord shall have no obligation whatsoever to provide
guard service or other security measures for the benefit of the Premises. Tenant
assumes all responsibility for the protection of Tenant, its agents, and
invitees and the property of Xxxxxx and of Tenant’s agents and invitees from

of the essence for all matters provided in this Lease.
(s) No
payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount than the monthly
Minimum Base Rent or additional rent stipulated in this Lease shall be deemed
to
be other than on account of the earliest stipulated amount due to Landlord,
nor
shall any endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying
any
check or payment as rent be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord
may
accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord's right to recover
the balance of such amounts or pursue any other remedy provided in this Lease
or
by law or equity.
(t) All
sums
payable to Landlord hereunder, including Minimum Base Rent, operating expenses,
late fees, promotional expenses and any other charges due Landlord shall be
payable as, and deemed to be, rent or additional rent.
(u) Anything
in this Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, neither Landlord nor Tenant
shall
be deemed in default with respect to failure to perform any of the terms,
covenants and conditions of this Lease if such failure to perform shall be
due
to any strike, lockout, civil commotion, war-like operation, invasion,
rebellion, hostilities, military or usurped power, sabotage, governmental
regulations or controls, inability to obtain any material, service or financing,
through Act of God or other cause beyond the control of Landlord or Tenant
("Force
Majeure").
Any
delay in Landlord's or Xxxxxx’s performance of any term, covenant or condition
of this Lease resulting from Force Majeure shall extend the time for Landlord's
and Xxxxxx’s performance.
(v) Landlord
does not, in any way or for any purpose, become a partner of Tenant in the
conduct of its business, or otherwise, or joint venturer or a member of a joint
enterprise with Tenant, nor does anything in this Lease confer any interest
in
Landlord in the conduct of Xxxxxx's business.
(w) Landlord
reserves to itself the right, from time to time, to grant such easements, rights
and dedications that Landlord deems necessary or desirable and to cause the
recordation of parcel maps and restrictions, so
long
as such easements, right, dedications, maps and restrictions do not unreasonably
interfere with the use of the Premises by Xxxxxx. Provided that the foregoing
will not have a material adverse effect upon Tenant or its operations, Tenant
shall sign any of the aforementioned documents upon request of Landlord and
failure to do so shall constitute a material default of this Lease by Tenant
without the need for further notice to Tenant.
ARTICLE
39. Contingency.
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, Landlord and Tenant hereby
acknowledge and agree that the Rent Commencement Date hereunder shall, unless
otherwise consented to in writing by Xxxxxx, be delayed until such time as

with Xxxxxx's affiliate’s proposed banking operations, and that Landlord and
Tenant agree that the Rent Commencement Date shall, unless otherwise consented
to in writing by Xxxxxx, not occur prior to the receipt of all such approvals
as
Tenant shall deem reasonably necessary, in its sole discretion, in connection
with such banking operations, and that neither Landlord nor Tenant shall be
liable to the other as a result of any such delay or any failure to receive
any
of such approvals. Should Tenant not receive such approval by March 1, 2007,
then Landlord may, at its option, cancel this Lease.
