Section 3.2 Renewal Term. Tenant shall have the right, exercisable as hereinafter provided, to extend the Term of this Lease for four (4) successive periods of five (5) years each (the “First Renewal Term,” the “Second Renewal Term,” the “Third Renewal Term,” and the “Fourth Renewal Term,” and collectively the “Renewal Terms”).

After receipt of Landlord’s notice, Tenant shall have an additional fifteen (15) day period in which to deliver the Renewal Notice, and the Renewal Term shall then be considered to have been properly exercised if Tenant delivers the Renewal Notice within such fifteen (15) day period. The Base Rent per annum applicable to any Renewal Term shall be the amount indicated in Section 1.1(h) of this Lease. If the Term of this Lease is not extended for the First Renewal Term, Tenant shall have no right to extend the Term hereof for any subsequent Renewal Term.

Section 4.1. Rent During Original Term. Landlord reserves, and Tenant covenants and agrees to pay to Landlord, without demand or notice, and without any setoff or deduction, except as specifically set forth herein, a base rental (the “Base Rent”), commencing on the Rent Commencement Date, in equal monthly installments, in an amount equal to the monthly Base Rent set forth in Section 1.1(h) of this Lease.
Section 4.2 Base Rent During Renewal Terms. If Tenant exercises its right to extend the Term of this Lease for the First Renewal Term and any Renewal Term thereafter, the Base Rent payable in each Renewal Term shall be paid in the same manner as that required during the Original Term, in an amount equal to the monthly Base Rent set forth in Section 1.1(h) of this Lease for each Renewal Term, as indicated.
Section 4.3. Additional Rent. Any and all monetary obligations of Tenant hereunder, including but not limited to property taxes and assessments, whether special or otherwise, insurance, operating and maintenance expenses of the Property, late charges or other penalties, and any other expense or payment to be made by Tenant hereunder, whether payable to Landlord or otherwise (the “Additional Rent”), shall, for purposes of Landlord’s rights upon non-payment thereof and for all other purposes for which the same shall be relevant, be deemed in all respects to be Additional Rent payable hereunder, subject to the same duties and obligations and the same remedies of Landlord for the non-payment of the Base Rent.
Section 4.4. Payment of Rent and Late Fee. The Base Rent shall be due and payable on the first (1st) day of each month, shall commence on the Rent Commencement Date, and shall be paid at the Notice Address of Landlord. Additional Rent shall be due and payable as required by the sections of this Lease that address payments that are due from Tenant. Base Rent and Additional Rent are referred to together in this Lease as “Rent.” Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late fee equal to four percent (4%) of any outstanding Rent that is received by Landlord later than the tenth (10th) day of the month in which said Rent was due.
Section 4.5. Proration. If the Rent Commencement Date is other than the first (1st) day of a calendar month and/or the Termination Date is other than the last day of a calendar month, then the Base Rent for the calendar month in which the Rent Commencement Date or Termination Date occurs shall be prorated on a per diem basis based on a thirty (30) day month.

Section 5.1. Payment of Impositions / Property Taxes.
(a) Tenant shall pay, as Additional Rent and before any fine, penalty, interest or cost may be added for non-payment, all Real Property Taxes, personal property taxes and assessments for the Property allocable to any period prior to the Term or during the Term of this Lease, and all water, sewer or other rents, rates and charges, excises, license fees, permit fees, inspection fees and other authorization fees and other extraordinary taxes or charges, foreseen or unforeseen, of every character for the Property (including all interest and penalties thereon) (the “Impositions” or “Property Taxes”), which at any time prior to or during or in respect of the Term and exercised Renewal Terms hereof may be assessed, levied, confirmed or imposed on or in respect of the Property, provided that (i) if any Imposition, by law, may at the option of the taxpayer be paid in installments, Tenant may pay the same in the maximum number of installments permitted by law, and Tenant shall be required to pay only those installments coming due during the Term and any Renewal Term hereof that is exercised by Tenant; and (ii) all Impositions for the fiscal or tax year in which the Rent Commencement Date shall occur or in which the Term or Renewal Term shall end shall be apportioned pro rata between Landlord and Tenant. Tenant shall immediately, upon the Term Commencement Date and as necessary thereafter, take all steps necessary to have all tax notices, invoices and assessments of all kind and type affecting the property and of each and every taxing authority having jurisdiction over the Property, sent directly to Tenant. Landlord shall provide the cooperation necessary to have the collecting authority send all pertinent tax bills directly to Tenant or its designee. All pertinent tax bills received by Landlord shall be immediately forwarded directly to Tenant or its designee to permit timely remittance in the normal course of business, provided, however, Landlord’s failure to do so shall not relieve Tenant of the responsibility for any late charges or penalties.
6
(b) Tenant shall deliver to Landlord copies of official receipts or other satisfactory proof evidencing payment of Impositions within twenty (20) days of receipt of same.
(c) Upon the request of Tenant and at no cost to Landlord, Landlord shall execute such reasonable authorizations, which can be executed only by the owner of the Property, as Tenant may reasonably request, and shall take such other reasonable actions which can be taken only by the owner of the Property as Tenant may reasonably request, in connection with the Impositions, any payment thereof or any exemption therefrom now or hereafter in effect or to be applied for. All of the foregoing shall be at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, and Tenant shall promptly reimburse Landlord for such costs within thirty (30) calendar days of Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s request for payment.
(d) Tenant may initiate or prosecute, at its sole expense, any proceedings permitted by law for obtaining an abatement, reduction or withdrawal, or otherwise contesting the validity or amount, of any tax for which Tenant is alleged to be responsible for the Property or the Property (a “Tax Reduction Action”). If required by law, and after notifying Landlord in writing, and provided that a Tax Reduction Action is prosecuted at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, Tenant shall have the right to take such action in the name of Landlord, and Landlord shall cooperate with Tenant to the extent Tenant may reasonably require; provided, however, that Tenant shall indemnify and save Landlord harmless from and against any and all loss, cost, liability, damage and expense (including but not limited to attorneys costs and fees) as a result thereof.
(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall pay such Impositions prior to the foreclosure of any lien or any other proceeding commenced against the Property or Landlord.

It is the intent that Tenant shall contract for and directly incur and discharge all operating expenses of the Premises, Building, and the Property, and Landlord shall have no obligations with respect to any operating expenses in connection therewith. Tenant shall maintain the Building, Premises and Property in good condition and repair, subject only to ordinary wear and tear and damage by casualty, which is addressed in Section 13 of this Lease. Tenant shall at all times be responsible for and shall undertake the cleaning, sweeping, snow and ice removal, trash removal, janitorial services, elevator services, landscaping and any other service as may be required for the operation of Tenant’s business, and Tenant shall at all times be responsible for the maintenance and repair of all improvements on the Premises and the Property, to include maintenance and repair and replacement of capital items, including but not limited to structural repairs and replacements (i.e. slab, building structure, walls), roof repairs and replacements, elevator repairs and replacements, window repairs and replacements, parking lot repairs and replacements, and any other kind of repair or replacement to the Premises, Building or Property that may be necessary to maintain same to equal standards as are found in similarly situated buildings built at approximately the same time and to the same construction quality standards and architectural standards, and which are located in the area in and around Somerset County, New Jersey (collectively the “Operating Expenses”). Landlord and its agents, upon providing at least 24 hours notice to the local branch manager, shall have the right to enter and inspect the Premises, Building and Property to ensure that Tenant is in compliance with the maintenance and repair requirements noted above, and Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days of receipt of written notice from Landlord requesting same, make any and all repairs and/or replacements as may be required by the terms of this Lease. Notwithstanding the forgoing, in no event shall Tenant be required to replace major structural components of its Building or other Improvements (including but not limited to the roof, floor slab, walls, elevators, windows, door openings and sidewalks) or Building systems upon the termination of the Lease, regardless of the condition of such components and systems upon the termination of the Lease, as long as Tenant has maintained, repaired and replaced the Building, Premises and Property, and Building systems, as required during the Term pursuant to the terms set forth in this Lease Agreement. Tenant shall at all times keep the Property maintained and repaired and made all such replacements to standards set forth above, and shall take all reasonable measures so as to avoid damage or waste to the Property.
Section 5.4. Utilities. Commencing on the Rent Commencement Date, Tenant shall undertake and be responsible for having all utilities metered and installed in its name at the Property(if they are not already so titled), and agrees to pay, on or before the date due, all charges for same directly to the respective utility companies. Such utilities may include gas, water (sanitary water and sprinkler), sewer, electricity, heat, power, telephone, cable and other communication service, or other utility or service used by, or rendered or supplied to, Tenant at the Premises, Building and Property throughout the Term.
Section 5.5. Triple Net Lease; No Counterclaim; Abatement. This Lease is a triple net lease, and Tenant shall pay any and all costs, charges, taxes, assessments and other expenses of every character and nature, foreseen or unforeseen, for the payment of which Tenant is or shall become liable by reason of its respective estate, right, title or interest in the Premises and the Property, or which are connected with or arise out of the possession, use, occupancy, maintenance, addition to, repair, replacement or rebuilding of the Premises or the Property or any portion thereof including, without limitation, those specifically referred to in this Lease, except as may be otherwise provided by this Lease. Landlord shall be solely responsible for any costs associated with Landlord’s mortgage or deed of trust on the Property. This Lease shall not terminate except as expressly set forth in this Lease. Tenant shall remain obligated under this Lease in accordance with its terms and shall not take any action to terminate, rescind or avoid this Lease, notwithstanding any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, liquidation, dissolution or other proceeding affecting Landlord or any action with respect to this Lease which may be taken by any trustee, receiver or liquidator or by any court. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, Tenant waives all rights to terminate or surrender this Lease, or to any abatement or deferment of Rent or other sums payable hereunder. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Tenant’s obligations under this Lease to pay Rent and all of Landlord’s obligations under this Lease are independent covenants, and, except as may be expressly set forth in this Lease, no default or failure of Landlord under this Lease, shall give to Tenant any offset or defense to the full and timely performance of its obligations under this Lease, entitle Tenant to any abatement of Rent or constitute any actual or constructive eviction of Tenant, Without limiting any of the foregoing, Tenant specifically covenants and agrees that, except as may be expressly set forth in this Lease, Tenant’s obligation to pay all Rent hereunder is not dependent upon the condition of the Property or the performance by Landlord of any of its obligations hereunder, and Tenant shall continue to pay all Rent, without abatement, demand, claim, setoff or deduction, notwithstanding any breach by Landlord of its duties or obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a default under this lease by Landlord, Tenant shall have the right to bring legal and/or equitable actions against Landlord, including injunctive relief, if available.
8
Section 6. Use and Operations.
Section 6.1. Use. Tenant shall have the right to use the Property for any legally permitted use, which includes but is not limited to any legally permitted or customary use of a financial or banking institution, or any legally permitted activity related thereto, and may include, without limitation, the operation of a retail branch banking office with drive-in facilities, an automatic teller machine or machines (“ATM(s)”) and night deposit boxes, or for general office purposes (the “Intended Use”). Tenant shall not use or occupy the Property or suffer or permit the Property or any part thereof to be used in any manner which would cause, or be likely to cause, physical damage to the Property or any part thereof; constitute a public or private nuisance; impair the appearance, character or reputation of the Property; discharge or cause the discharge of objectionable substances, fumes, vapors or odors; impair or interfere with the use of the Property by, or occasion discomfort, annoyance or inconvenience to Landlord; or cause Tenant to default in the observance and performance of any of its obligations to be observed and performed pursuant to the terms of this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall not use any portion of the Property, Building or Property, and shall not assign its Lease or sublease any portion of any part of the Property, Building or Property for any of the following uses: (i) any Adult Uses (as hereinafter defined); (ii) any use which emits an obnoxious odor, noise or sound which can be heard or smelled outside of the Property; (iii) any fire sale, bankruptcy sale (unless pursuant to a court order) or auction house operations; (iv) any central laundry, dry cleaning plant or laundromat; provided, however, that this prohibition shall not be applicable to nominal supportive facilities for on-site service oriented to pickup and delivery by the ultimate consumer as the same may be found in retail shopping districts; (v) any automobile, truck, trailer or recreational vehicle sales, leasing, display or body shop repair operation; (vi) any bowling alley or skating rink; (vii) any movie theater or live performance theater; (viii) any mortuary or funeral home; (ix) any establishment primarily selling or exhibiting pornographic materials or performances or drug-related paraphernalia; (x) any flea market, amusement or video arcade, pool or billiard hall, car wash, or dance hall; (xi) any training or educational facility, including but not limited to: beauty schools, xxxxxx colleges, reading rooms (including religious reading rooms), places of instruction or other operations catering primarily to students or trainees rather than to customers; (xii) any gambling facility or operation, including but not limited to: off-track or sports betting parlor; table games such as black-xxxx or poker; slot machines, video poker/black-xxxx/keno machines or similar devices; or bingo hall; (xiii) any church, school, education facility or day care facility; (xiv) any fictitious going-out-of-business-sale, lost our lease sale or similarly advertised event; (xv) any catering or banquet hall; (xvi) any unlawful use; or (xvii) any pawn shop, gun shop, or tattoo parlor. For purposes hereof, the term “Adult Uses” shall mean any bookstore, movie theater, gentlemen’s club, strip club, sex shop or lingerie store, or similar uses, and catering only to adult audiences due to sexual or lewd content, all as determined by local zoning ordinances, if applicable, or, if there is no zoning restriction, then based on local community standards.
Section 6.2. Operations of Tenant. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease or otherwise, nothing shall be construed as an obligation for Tenant to open or operate its business in the Property. However, Tenant shall have the right, but not the obligation, to open and operate its business during the hours of operation desired by Tenant including, without limitation, on Saturdays and Sundays if permitted by law. Tenant shall have the right to remove its personal property including, without limitation, any ATM(s) and night deposit boxes, and cease operations on the Property at any time and at Tenant’s sole discretion.

Section 12. Insurance.
Section 12.1. Tenant’s Insurance. From the Delivery Date and throughout the Term and any Renewal Terms, Tenant shall, at its own cost and expense, obtain and maintain in full force and effect:
(a) Worker’s Compensation Insurance in amounts as required by law;
(b) comprehensive public liability insurance covering the Premises, Building and Property, and insuring Landlord and Tenant, in minimum limits of Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00) per occurrence for general commercial liability, and Four Million Dollars ($4,000,000.00) for property damage and fire liability, which insurance shall name Landlord, and any persons or entities reasonably designated by Landlord, and the holder(s) of any mortgage(s) affecting the Premises, Building and Property as additional insureds thereunder;
(c) during the course of construction of Tenant’s Work or any Alteration, Structural Alteration or other work performed by Tenant on or about the Property, builder’s completed value risk insurance against “all risks of physical loss,” covering the total value of work performed and equipment, supplies and materials furnished;
(d) insurance with respect to all buildings, improvements, equipment and machinery constituting a part of the Premises, Building and Property, and insuring Landlord and Tenant against loss or damage by perils customarily included under standard “all risk” policies, including flood, windstorm, earthquake and terrorism to include coverage for fire, extended coverage, vandalism and malicious mischief, in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the then full replacement value (without deducting depreciation) of such buildings, improvements, equipment and machinery, including the cost of removal of debris (the “Full Replacement Cost”);
(e) business interruption insurance in favor of Tenant, without a provision for co-insurance, in an amount sufficient to allow Tenant to pay Rent for the period of interruption, with a policy coverage limit of not less than the amount of Rent then payable by Tenant for eighteen (18) consecutive calendar months;
(f) “boiler and machinery” insurance with respect to damage (not insured against pursuant to Section 10.1(a) hereof) to the boilers, pressure vessels or similar apparatus located on the Property for risks normally insured against under boiler and machinery policies; and
14
(g) Tenant shall, at Landlord’s request, not to be unreasonably made, provide, keep and maintain in full force and effect such other insurance for such risks and in such amounts as may from time to time be reasonably required by any mortgagee of the Property.
Landlord and Tenant and all parties claiming under them mutually release and discharge each other from all claims and liabilities arising from or caused by any casualty or hazard to the extent covered or required hereunder to be covered in whole or in part by insurance on the Property or in connection with property on or activities conducted on the Property, and waive any right of subrogation which might otherwise exist in or accrue to any person on account thereof.
Section 12.2. Policies; Retentions. The maximum deductible shall be $500,000.00 for the policies set forth in Sections 12.1(b), (c), (d), (e) and (f)hereof. All insurance required to be maintained by Tenant hereunder shall be written by solvent insurance companies of recognized standing with a rating of at least A- or higher from Standard & Poors and AVIII or higher from A.M. Best and licensed to issue insurance in the State in which the Property is located. Subject to the terms of this Lease, Tenant shall have the right to self-insure, or carry self-insured retentions in reasonable amounts for any of the coverages required by this Lease at levels for institutions of comparable size and financial standing, provided Tenant maintains a tangible net worth of at least ONE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS ($100,000,000.00) and a rating of at least BBB- or higher from Standard & Poors. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 12.2, so long as the consolidated net worth of Tenant is equal to or greater than One Hundred Million Dollars ($100,000,000.00), Tenant has a rating of at least BBB- or higher from Standard & Poors, and Tenant meets the requirements in the next sentence, Tenant shall have the right to self-insure for any insurance required by this Section 12. Tenant’s right to self-insure shall be subject to the following (i) Tenant adopts a bona fide plan of self-insurance with adequate reserves based on practices acceptable in the insurance industry; (ii) the amount Tenant self-insures does not exceed ten percent (10%) of Tenant’s net worth as computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied by Tenant; and (iii) Tenant provides Landlord with annual financial statements on the anniversary date of Tenant’s first self-insurance (unless Tenant is a publicly traded company). If Tenant’s net worth drops below $100,000,000.00 or Tenant’s rating drops below BBB- during any period of self-insurance, Tenant covenants to immediately notify Landlord and covenants to obtain the applicable insurance coverage required in Section 12. Any portion of any risk for which Tenant is self-insured shall be deemed to be an insured risk under this Lease, and Landlord and its beneficiaries, agents and employees shall be protected by Tenant in the same manner as if they were additional named insureds under a policy of insurance with a solvent, conventional, third-party insurer. To the extent of any deductible, Tenant shall be deemed to be covering the amount thereof under an informal plan of self-insurance. Tenant shall at all times during the Term and any Renewal Terms maintain in full force and effect and on deposit at Landlord’s office a certificate of insurance evidencing the insurance required to be carried by Tenant pursuant to this Lease. All such policies shall provide that they shall not be cancelable without at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to Landlord and shall name Landlord (and any mortgagees designated by Landlord) as additional insureds and loss payee. At least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of any policy required to be maintained by Tenant hereunder, Tenant shall furnish Landlord with evidence of the reissuance of a policy continuing insurance in force as required by the Lease.
Section 12.3. Hazardous Activities. Tenant shall not do anything, or suffer or permit anything to be done, in, on or about the Premises, Building and/or Property which shall: (i) subject Landlord to any liability or responsibility for injury to any person or property by reason of any activity being conducted in the Property; or (ii) be prohibited by the provisions of this Lease, or by any applicable law.
Section 13. Damage or Destruction to Property.
Section 13.1. Notice. If the Property or any part thereof shall be damaged by fire or other casualty, Tenant shall give prompt notice thereof to Landlord, and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect except as hereinafter set forth.
15
Section 13.2. Partial Damage. Subject to Section 13.3 below, if the Property is partially or wholly damaged or rendered partially or wholly unusable by fire or other casualty, on the Delivery Date or during the Term, the damages thereto shall be repaired by Tenant with all reasonable expedition and within one year from the date of such fire or other casualty, subject to delays due to adjustment of insurance claims, labor troubles and causes beyond Tenant’s reasonable control. Any repairs and/or reconstruction shall be made to equal or better quality standards than those found in the original Building, Premises and Property.
Section 13.3 Substantial Damage. If the Property are substantially damaged (to the extent of fifty percent (50%) or more of the replacement value), whether by casualty or otherwise, within the last eighteen (18) months of the Term or any Renewal Term, as the case may be, then, in any of such events, Landlord or Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease by written notice to the other given within ninety (90) days after such fire or casualty specifying a date for the expiration of this Lease. In such an instance, the termination date shall be agreed upon in writing in an amendment to this Lease, which shall provide i) that Tenant shall assign all insurance proceeds (of it Tenant is self-insured, an amount equal to the replacement value) applicable to the damage to Landlord and Tenant shall pay to Landlord the full amount of any deductible associated with all relevant insurance claims, and ii) that the termination date shall not be more than sixty (60) days after the giving of such notice, and upon the date specified in such amendment. Upon the termination date specified in the amendment, the Term or any Renewal Term, as the case may be, shall expire as fully and completely as if such date were the date set forth above for the expiration of this Lease. Tenant shall then vacate the Property, without prejudice, however, to Landlord’s rights and remedies against Tenant under the provisions of this Lease in effect prior to such termination. Any Rent owing shall be paid up to such date, and any payments of Rent made by Tenant that were on account of any period subsequent to such date shall be returned to Tenant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have the right to nullify Landlord’s termination of the Lease pursuant to this Section 13.3 by agreeing to rebuild the Improvements, which it shall then do in the same manner as set forth in Section 13.2 of this Lease, and during the final eighteen (18) months of the Term if there is a Renewal Term which remains unexercised, by providing written notice to Landlord of the exercise of a Renewal Term as provided pursuant to Section 3.2 of this Lease. Such notice shall be given by Tenant no later than thirty (30) days following Tenant’s receipt of a notice of termination of Landlord pursuant to this Section 13.3. Unless Landlord or Tenant shall serve a termination notice as provided for herein, Tenant shall make the repairs and restorations with all reasonable expedition, subject to delays due to adjustment of insurance claims, labor troubles and causes beyond Tenant’s control, and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect. In the event of a termination of the Lease pursuant to this Section 13.3, any and all insurance proceeds (or, if Tenant is self-insured, an amount equal to the replacement value) allocable to Tenant’s Improvements, but excluding its personal property and fixtures, shall be paid to Landlord.
Section 13.4 Tenant’s Property. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord will not carry insurance on Tenant’s furniture and/or furnishings or any fixtures or equipment, and agrees that Landlord will not be obligated to repair any damage thereto or replace the same. Landlord shall not be liable for any inconvenience or annoyance to Tenant or injury to the business of Tenant resulting in any way from such damage or destruction of the Property.
Section 13.5 No Abatement of Rent. It is understood that there shall be no abatement of Rent, to include Tenant’s payment of Property Taxes, Insurance and operating expenses, for any period of time during which the Property shall be in a damaged condition, whether or not the Property shall be partially or wholly unusable.
Section 14. Eminent Domain.
Section 14.1 Total Taking. In the event that any public authority or agency holding the power of eminent domain under applicable law shall at any time during the Term condemn, or acquire title in lieu of condemnation to, all or substantially all of the Property (a “Total Taking”), this Lease shall terminate and expire as of the date upon which title shall vest in such authority, and Tenant shall pay Rent only to the time of such vesting of title. Any dispute whether a taking is a Total Taking shall be resolved by arbitration in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and decided by three neutral arbitrators experienced in such matters and appointed by the AAA, with the cost to be divided equally between Landlord and Tenant.
16
Section 14.2 Partial Taking. If there shall be a partial taking or condemnation of the Property (including any taking of parking on the Property), which shall not substantially prevent the Tenant’s use of the Property for purposes of its business, and if the then applicable zoning and other laws permit restoration of the untaken part of the Property, the award or proceeds of the taking or condemnation shall be used for such restoration, and this Lease shall thereafter continue as to the untaken part. In such an instance the Base Rent shall remain unchanged, unless the partial taking has resulted in a reduction in the building area leased to Tenant, in which case Tenant shall be entitled to a reduction in the Base Rent in an amount which bears the same ratio to the Base Rent payable immediately prior to such condemnation pursuant to this Lease as the untaken square footage of the Building bears to the square footage of the Building immediately before the taking. If such laws shall not permit restoration and/or if such award or proceeds shall be insufficient for purposes of restoration of the Property, or in the event Tenant can reasonably demonstrate that it is unable reasonably to operate its business due to a partial taking of the Building or partial taking of parking on the Property, then Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease upon written notice to Landlord given within ninety (90) days of the taking, which notice shall specify a date for expiration of this Lease not more than sixty (60) days after the giving of such notice. Upon such date specified, this Lease and the Term shall be terminated.
Section 14.3 Restoration by Tenant. If there shall be a partial taking and this Lease shall continue as to the remaining part of the Property, Tenant, as promptly as practicable, shall restore such remaining part as nearly as may be practicable to its former condition, but only upon receipt of, and to the extent of, the award made on account of such partial taking.
Section 14.4 Disposition of Proceeds. All compensation awarded or paid upon such total or partial taking of the land comprising the Property shall belong to and be property of the Landlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Tenant is permitted by law (at the same time as Landlord is permitted to assert its claim) to assert a claim against the condemning authority enforcing the condemnation for losses sustained by the Tenant as a result of the condemnation, Tenant shall be permitted to do so only so long as such claim does not diminish Landlord’s recovery. Landlord hereby waives any rights it might have to make a claim for the Tenant’s Improvements (defined as any modifications to the Premises, Building and Property noted as Tenant’s Work in Section 8.2, or noted as subsequent Alterations or Structural Alterations) and Tenant’s leasehold estate, and shall assign to Tenant any claims Landlord may have for the foregoing. All condemnation proceeds applicable to Tenant’s Improvements shall be split between Landlord and Tenant with Landlord entitled to a fractional amount equal to the number of months that have expired from the date hereof to the date of condemnation as the numerator with the denominator being three hundred sixty (360) (which is the number of months in the Original Term and all Renewal Terms), and the Tenant shall be entitled to the balance of the proceeds. In the event Tenant is not entitled to assert a separate claim, Landlord and Tenant shall jointly file a claim asking for separate awards with respect to their respective interests. If the condemning authority will not establish separate awards, and Landlord and Tenant cannot agree upon the distribution and use of a unified award, the dispute shall be submitted to arbitration in accordance with the rules of the AAA and decided by three neutral arbitrators experienced in such matters and appointed by the AAA, with the cost to be divided equally between Landlord and Tenant. If this Lease is not terminated by reason of the taking, then all proceeds allocable to Tenant’s Improvements shall be utilized for restoration of the Property, and any sum remaining after reconstruction shall be the property of Tenant.
Section 14.5 Independent Claim by Tenant. Anything hereinabove to the contrary notwithstanding, it is understood that Tenant may make such independent claim as the law may allow with respect to Tenant’s leasehold estate, moving expenses, relocation expenses, actual direct losses in tangible personal property and the like as long as such independent claim does not diminish Landlord’s recovery.
Section 14.6 Notice. Landlord and Tenant shall give each other prompt written notice of any eminent domain proceedings with respect to the Property of which it is aware.
17
Section 15. Assignment and Subletting.
Section 15.1 Permitted Assignments. Tenant shall have the right in its sole discretion to sell, assign, mortgage, pledge, or, in any manner, transfer or encumber this Lease or any estate or interest hereunder, or sublet the Property or any part thereof, provided that Tenant remains fully and primarily liable for the payment of all sums and the performance of all obligations under this Lease by any such assignee or subtenant, and provided that any such assignee or subtenant otherwise complies with the terms of this Lease. In the event of any such sale, assignment, mortgage, pledge, transfer, encumbrance or subletting, Tenant nevertheless shall remain fully and primarily liable for the payment of the Rent, Additional Rent (including operating expenses), and for the performance of Tenant’s other covenants and obligations hereunder, including maintenance, repair and replacement of the Premises, Building and Property and every portion thereof. In the event of an assignment of this Lease, the assignee shall assume the due performance of all of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, except that Tenant shall remain fully and primarily liable for the performance of every term and condition of this Lease, including but not limited to Rent, Additional Rent, and performance of all maintenance, repair and replacement requirements hereunder. No assignment shall be valid or effective in the absence of such assumption. A true copy of such assignment and the original assumption agreement shall be delivered to Landlord within thirty (30) days of the effective date of such assignment. Any consideration received by Tenant in connection with the assignment of this Lease or the sublease of the Premises or any portion of the Property shall belong to and be the sole property of Tenant.
Section 15.2 No Release. Notwithstanding any assignment of this Lease or subletting of all or part of the Property, Tenant shall remain fully and primarily liable for the full performance of all of the terms and provisions of this Lease.
Section 15.3 Landlord Assignment. Landlord shall have the right to transfer, assign and convey, in whole or in part, any or all of the right, title and interest to the Property, provided such transferee or assignee shall be bound by the terms, covenants and agreements herein contained, and shall expressly assume and agree to perform the covenants and agreements of Landlord herein contained.
Section 16. Subordination and Non-Disturbance; Attornment; Estoppel Certificates.
Section 16.1 Subordination to Mortgages.
(a) This Lease is and shall be subject and subordinate in all respects to all present and future mortgages, which may now or hereafter affect the Property, to each and every advance made or to be made under such mortgages, and to all renewals, modifications, replacements and consolidations of such mortgages or leases so long as Landlord’s lender shall agree in writing that it will not disturb Tenant’s possession under this Lease so long as Tenant remains in compliance with this Lease. This Section 16.1 shall be self-operative and no further instrument of subordination shall be required. Upon Landlord’s request and in confirmation of such subordination, Tenant shall promptly execute and deliver a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D, or as otherwise may be required by any lender of the Property, but subject to the reasonable comments of Tenant.
(b) If any act or omission of Landlord would give Tenant the right to cancel or terminate this Lease, or give Tenant any right of set-off, dishonor or protest, or give Tenant any right to claim a partial or total eviction, Tenant shall not exercise such right: (i) until it has given written notice of such claim being asserted against Landlord and each mortgagee whose name and address shall previously have been furnished to Tenant; and (ii) until a reasonable period for remedying such act or omission shall have elapsed following the giving of such notice and following the time when such mortgagee or Landlord shall have become entitled under such mortgage or lease, as the case may be, to remedy the same (which reasonable period shall in no event be less than thirty (30) days following the period to which Landlord would be entitled under this Lease or otherwise, after similar notice, to effect such remedy).
18
(c) If the holder of a lease or mortgage referred to in this Section 16.1 shall succeed to the rights of Landlord under this Lease, then at the request of such party so succeeding to Landlord’s rights (the “Successor Landlord”), Tenant shall attorn to and recognize such Successor Landlord as Tenant’s landlord under this Lease, and shall promptly execute and deliver a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D, or as otherwise may be required by any lender of the Property but subject to the reasonable comments of Tenant, to evidence such attornment. Upon such attornment, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect as a direct lease between the Successor Landlord and Tenant and upon all of the terms, conditions and covenants as are set forth in this Lease, except that the Successor Landlord shall not be: (i) liable for any previous act or omission of Landlord under this Lease; (ii) subject to any offset not expressly provided for in this Lease; (iii) bound by any previous modification of this Lease, unless such modification or prepayment shall have been expressly approved in writing by the Landlord and any mortgagee of whom Tenant had notice; (iv) liable for the return of any security deposited under this Lease, unless the same shall have been actually received by such Successor Landlord; or (v) bound by any prepayment of more than one (1) month’s Base Rent. Tenant hereby waives the provisions of any present or future statute or rule of law which may give Tenant any right of election to terminate this Lease or to surrender possession of the Property in the event any mortgage or lease affecting the Property is in default or is terminated, and agrees that this Lease shall not be affected in any way whatsoever by any such default, termination or any proceeding instituted as a result thereof, provided that such Successor Landlord recognizes this Lease and agrees in such written instrument not to disturb Tenant’s right to possession except in accordance with the terms of this Lease.
Section 16.2 Attornment. Tenant agrees that in the event of a sale, transfer or assignment, or sale and leaseback, of Landlord’s interest in the Property, or in the event any proceedings are brought for the foreclosure of or for the exercise of any power of sale under any mortgage constituting a lien upon the Property, to attorn to and to recognize such transferee, purchaser or mortgagee, as Landlord under this Lease (provided that such party grants Tenant reciprocal non-disturbance rights), or, in the case of a sale-leaseback, to continue to recognize Landlord as its Landlord under this Lease. The foregoing provisions of this Section 16.2 shall be self-operative, and no further instrument shall be required to give effect to said provisions. Tenant, however, agrees, at the request of the party to which it has attorned, to execute, acknowledge and deliver, without charge, from time to time, instruments in form reasonably acceptable to Tenant acknowledging such attornment and non-disturbance, and to execute estoppel certificates as may reasonably be requested by such party.
Section 16.3 Estoppel Certificate. Tenant and Landlord agree at any time and from time to time, within twenty (20) days after receipt of a request by the other, to execute, acknowledge and deliver a statement certifying: (a) as to the date which shall be deemed to be the Term Commencement Date hereunder; (b) that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if there have been modifications, that this Lease is in full force and effect as modified and stating the modifications); (c) the date to which the Rent and any Additional Rent (including operating expenses and property taxes) has been paid; and (d) whether or not to the best knowledge of Tenant or Landlord, as applicable: (i) Landlord or Tenant, as applicable, is in default in keeping, observing or performing any term, covenant, agreement, provision, condition or limitation contained in this Lease and, if in default, specifying each such default; (ii) either party is holding any funds under this Lease in which the other has an interest (and, if so, specifying the party holding such funds and the nature and amount thereof); and (iii) there is any amount then due and payable to Tenant by Landlord, it being intended that such statement delivered pursuant to this Section 16.3 may be relied upon by Tenant, Landlord, any mortgagee, any prospective purchaser or assignee of Tenant’s or Landlord’s interest in this Lease or the mortgagee’s interest in any mortgage, and by any prospective mortgagee of the Property or any part thereof.
Section 17. Non-Liability of Landlord. Landlord shall not be responsible or liable to Tenant or its customers, sub-tenant(s), assignees, employees, agents, suppliers, contractors or any other person or entity affiliated with Tenant or its sub-tenant(s), and Tenant shall indemnify Landlord, for any loss, damage or injury to person or property that may be occasioned by the acts, omissions or negligence of Tenant or sub-tenant(s), assignees or of persons occupying any space adjacent to or adjoining the Premises, Building and Property or any part thereof including, not in limitation of the foregoing, loss, damage or injury resulting to Tenant or to any other person, or to any property of Tenant or sub-tenant or of any other person, from closure of the Property, in whole or in part, for purposes of repair or replacement of same, or from water, gas, steam, fire or the bursting, backflow, stoppage or leakage of sewer pipes.

(a) Upon the occurrence of any one or more such Defaults set forth in Section 19.1, Landlord, in addition to any other remedies herein contained or as may be permitted by law, may: (i) cancel and terminate this Lease upon written notice to Tenant (whereupon the Term or Renewal Term, as applicable, shall expire and this Lease shall terminate, and Tenant shall then quit and surrender the Property to Landlord, but Tenant shall remain liable as hereinafter provided); and/or (ii) at any time thereafter, re-enter and resume possession of the Property as if this Lease had not been made, Tenant hereby waiving the service of any notice of intention to re-enter or to institute legal proceedings to that end.

21
(f) Suit or suits for the recovery of damages hereunder, or for any installments of Rent, may be brought by Landlord from time to time at its election, and nothing herein contained shall be deemed to require Landlord to postpone suit until the date when the Term or Renewal Term, as applicable would have expired if it had not been terminated under the provisions of this Lease, or under any provision of law, or had Landlord not re-entered into or upon the Property.
(g) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, Landlord shall not have the right to accelerate any future installments of Rent due upon an Event of Default by Tenant.
