2
Space. If this option is exercised, the Rent (as defined in paragraph 3 below) for the period from such election to the day immediately prior to the commencement of the 7th Lease Year shall be increased by an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying the area of additional square footage times the rate per square foot being paid by Tenant for the Re-locatable Space at such time, provided that such increase shall not impact the Rent due under this Lease for any period after the commencement of the 7th Lease Year, such Rent being limited to the amount of Rent provided for in paragraph 3 below.

Rent and/or other matters that are computed with reference to a Lease Year shall be ratably adjusted, on a per diem basis, for any period prior to the first Lease Year and within the Term or in the event this Lease terminates on a date other than the last day of the month. |
c) | Option Terms. Landlord hereby grants to Tenant the first option to extend the Term for an additional period of five (5) Lease Years, commencing 12:00 A.M. on the first day of the month next succeeding the last month of the 10th Lease Year, and ending at 12:00 midnight 60 consecutive calendar months thereafter, and the second option to extend the Term for an additional period of five (5) Lease Years, commencing 12:00 A.M. on the first day of the month next succeeding the last month of the first Option Term (i.e., the 15th Lease Year), and ending at 12:00 midnight 60 consecutive calendar months thereafter, upon the same conditions, terms, covenants, and provisions contained herein, except for the Rent, which shall be adjusted as provided in paragraph 3(b) below, provided that no default of which Landlord has notified Tenant exists at the time of exercise of any such option and remains uncured following the expiration of any period within which Tenant may cure such default as set forth in paragraph 29 below, unless Landlord waives the existence of such default. Such options shall be exercised by |
3
written notice to Landlord not less than 120 days prior to the expiration of the then current Term. Each exercised option period is herein called an “Option Term”. Upon exercise of any option by Tenant to extend the Term, the Term shall be extended for the number of Lease Years provided by the option period being exercised, the Expiration Date shall be adjusted to the last day of the Term, as extended by the option period being exercised, and the Rent during the Option Term shall be adjusted as provided in paragraph 3(b) below. |

(b) | Adjustments to Rent for Option Terms. On the first day of each exercised Option Term, the fixed annual rental shall be adjusted to a rate equal to the lesser of: (i) 10% over the average of the fixed annual rental provided for during the initial 10-year Lease Term as set forth in the schedule in subparagraph (a) above, or (ii) the average per square foot annual rental rate then paid by all tenants of the Building under written leases with Landlord who occupy at least 90% of the rentable space of at least one floor of the Building, including Tenant (“Average Full Service Full Floor Rate”), it being understood by the parties that the Rent under this Lease for any such Option Term may increase or decrease according to such adjustment, or remain unchanged, and that the Rent shall not be adjusted again until the first day of the next exercised Option Term, if any. If Tenant is the only |
4
tenant of the Building who occupies an entire floor at the time an Option Term is to be exercised, then the fixed annual rental shall be ad as provided in subparagraph (b)(i) above and such fixed annual rental, as adjusted, shall be the Rent throughout such Option Term. As used below, the term “Other Tenants” means all tenants of the Building under written leases with Landlord who occupy at least 90% of the rentable space of at least one floor of the Building other than Tenant. |
In calculating the Average Full Service Full Floor Rate, all rates shall be compared as of the month in which the Rent adjustment is to be made, and the rate for each Other Tenant whose rate is to be averaged shall first be adjusted for purposes of comparing the rates of such Other Tenants to Tenant’s rate to reflect the actual costs and expenses Landlord is obligated to incur and the net revenue Landlord is entitled to enjoy under such Other Tenants’ leases. By way of example and not limitation, before averaging Tenant’s rate and such Other Tenants’ rates, the rate of rental provided in any such Other Tenant’s lease shall be increased if such lease obligates Landlord to provide fewer services and utilities than Landlord is obligated to provide under this Lease; and decreased if such lease obligates Landlord to provide more services or utilities than Landlord is obligated to provide under this Lease; and decreased if such lease includes in the rate the cost of tenant fit-out paid for by Landlord since Landlord is not paying for Tenant’s fit-out under this Lease.
If there are at least two full floor tenants as described above and the parties fail to agree on the Average Full Service Full Floor Rate, then such rate shall be determined as follows: each party shall select an independent M.A.I. real estate appraiser (an “Appraiser”), and each Appraiser shall separately determine the Average Full Service Full Floor Rate. If the Average Full Service Full Floor Rate determined by each Appraiser are within 10% of each other, the two (2) rates shall be averaged and such average shall be the final Average Full Service Full Floor Rate, or (b) are not within 10% of each other, the two Appraisers shall then select a third Appraiser who shall independently determine the Average Full Service Full Floor Rate, and the middle of such three (3) rates shall be the final Average Full Service Full Floor Rate. The cost of the Appraisers shall be borne equally be the parties.
c) | Additional Rent for Parking Spaces. Tenant shall pay as additional rent the following amounts for its rights to use the Exclusive Spaces (as defined in paragraph 21) below: |
• | $45.00 per parking space per month for the 15 Exclusive Parking Spaces in the Building. |
• | 35.00 per parking space per month for the 15 Exclusive Parking Spaces in the parking lot owned by Landlord and located across Commerce Street, which lot is commonly known as 000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx (the “000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx Lot”). |
d) | Payment of Rent. The Rent shall be paid at the office of The Counts Realty & Auction Group, 000 Xxxx Xxxxxx, 00xx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000, or to such address as Landlord may hereinafter direct in writing to Tenant upon 60 days written notice. Landlord acknowledges that Tenant must receive a current and complete W-9 form from Landlord on a form approved by Tenant in order to process the payment of Rent, and agrees that Tenant in no event be subject to late charges and shall not be in default for non-payment of Rent prior to receipt of an accurate and complete W-9 form from Landlord. As used in this Lease, the term “Rent” shall include the fixed annual rent designated above as “Rent” as well as additional rent and other charges provided for in this Lease. Acceptance of payment, late payment, or partial payment shall not be considered a waiver of any default under this Lease. |
e) | Adjustment to Rent Commencement Date. The Rent Commencement Date shall be extended by one (1) day for each day of delay by Landlord in obtaining any governmental approvals or permits, |
5
or in furnishing any of the systems, services and utilities to the Building, necessary for Tenant to lawfully occupy and use the Premises for the Permitted Uses (as hereinafter defined), and all Rent, including additional rent and other charges, otherwise to become due under this Lease shall be waived until Tenant may lawfully occupy and use the Premises for the Permitted Uses. |
4) | Late Charges. Tenant hereby recognizes and acknowledges that if any installment of the Rent is not received by its due date, Landlord will suffer damages and additional expenses thereby. Accordingly, Landlord may at its option assess a late charge equal to 10% of the past due monthly installment of Rent (including any additional rent past due) as additional rent if Tenant shall fail to pay any Rent by the 10th day of the month when the same shall become due and payable. |
5) | Title to the Premises. As of the date Tenant receives a fully executed copy hereof (the “Effective Date”), title to the Premises is, and as of the Commencement Date, title to the Premises shall be, good and marketable, free and clear of all deeds of trust, mortgages, liens, encumbrances, easements and other title objections, except as set forth in Exhibit 5 hereto (the “Permitted Exceptions”). |

At the expiration of the Term, Tenant, if requested by Landlord, shall execute any and all documents necessary to evidence that title to Tenant’s Improvements (exclusive of Tenant’s Moveable Property) is in Landlord and to extinguish and remove any cloud or potential cloud on the title to the Premises and/or Tenant’s Improvements (exclusive of Tenant’s Moveable Property) created by Tenant. |

As used in this subparagraph (a) the term maintenance shall include regular cleaning, repainting, redecorating, and necessary repaving or resurfacing of drives and parking areas (including those of the 800 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx Xot). |

13
event such cost and expenses so attributable to such Required Work shall be borne by Tenant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall relieve Landlord of its express obligations under any other provisions of this Lease, and Tenant shall not be obligated to comply with any law, regulation, ordinance, order or direction which applies to the systems, services and utilities to be supplied under the terms of this Lease to the Premises at Landlord’s expense, or compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act or Asbestos Related Laws (as hereinafter defined) including asbestos removal, abatement and/or remediation, all of which are the obligations of Landlord under this Lease, provided, however, that if Tenant changes the location of any bathroom or constructs a new bathroom (other than on account of an asbestos event, in which case Landlord shall cover cost of such construction, including ADA compliance), then Tenant shall be responsible for meeting all applicable ADA requirements for the construction of such bathroom. |
c) | At the commencement of this Lease, Landlord shall provide the following to serve the Building, the Premises and Common Areas, including use by Tenant, its employees, invitees, licensees, customers, clients, or guests: heating, ventilating and air conditioning systems; utility systems, including those for electrical power, lighting, plumbing, water, sanitary sewer, and storm water and related lines, pipes, conduits, fixtures and equipment; fire protection and security equipment and alarms, including sprinklers, dry hydrants, and/or Haylon, FM-200 or similar fire protection devices presently existing; and other existing fixtures and facilities, including three(3) passenger elevators and one (1) service elevator, escalators serving the Premises, and common area restrooms, in good working order and repair, and except as set forth in subparagraph (f) below with respect to escalators, Landlord shall be responsible at its expense for the maintenance, repair and/or replacement of each during the Term, unless the necessity for making any such repair or replacement shall have been occasioned by the act, omission, or negligence of Tenant, its agents, employees, or invitees. |

f) | During the Term, Tenant shall, at its expense, maintain in good order and condition, reasonable wear and tear, casualty and condemnation excepted, the escalators serving the Premises. All repairs or replacements not resulting from Tenant’s failure to maintain the escalators or the act, omission, or negligence of Tenant, its agents, employees, or invitees, shall be made by Landlord at its sole cost and expense. Accordingly, if any escalator, or any part thereof, has outlived its useful life during the Term, Landlord shall replace the same at no expense to Tenant. |

19) | Landlord’s Access. Landlord and its agents may enter the Premises at all reasonable times to conduct inspections, make necessary or desired repairs or improvements, or to show the same to prospective tenants, buyers or lenders, provided, however, Landlord shall only enter the Premises |

16
interfere with Tenant’s use of the Premises for the Permitted Uses, including Tenant’s special needs with respect to security and insurance requirements covering such items as specialized locks, vaults and access to the Premises. Landlord warrants and represents that a true and complete copy of the current rules and regulations are attached hereto as Exhibit 22.

Upon any such assignment, the assignor shall be released from any liability hereunder, and, upon request of the assignor, Landlord shall execute and deliver to the assignor a release agreement in a form reasonably acceptable to the assignor to evidence such release. |
24) | Damage to Premises by Fire or Other Casualty. In case of damage to the Premises by fire or other casualty insured under Landlord’s insurance policies, Landlord, upon Landlord’s receipt of the insurance proceeds, unless it shall otherwise elect as hereinafter provided, shall repair the same with reasonable dispatch; provided, however, Landlord’s obligations to repair shall be limited to the extent of the insurance proceeds received by Landlord therefor. If the Premises, or any part thereof, are damaged by fire or other casualty to such an extent as to be rendered untenantable but are, nevertheless, repaired by Landlord, then the Rent shall be abated to an extent corresponding with the time during which and the extent to which the said Premises have been untenantable. If the Premises shall be partly untenantable, the Rent shall be abated to an extent corresponding with the part untenantable and for a period corresponding with the period during which the entire Rent would xxxxx, as above provided, in the event of complete untenantability. If Landlord shall decide, within 30 days after the occurrence of any such fire or other casualty which damages the Premises to the extent that at least 25% of the floor space cannot be used, to demolish or not to repair, rebuild, or reconstruct the damaged portions of the Premises, then, upon written notice given by Landlord to Tenant, this Lease shall terminate and the Rent shall be apportioned as of the time of the occurrence of any such fire or other casualty. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph 24, if Landlord shall fail to commence repairs within 30 days of the fire or other casualty, or in the event that the Premises are rendered untenantable, or damaged to the extent that at least 25% of the floor space cannot be used, by such fire of other casualty, and if any such damage cannot be repaired within 120 days as estimated by Tenant’s architect, then in any such event, Tenant shall have the option to terminate this Lease upon giving written notice to Landlord, which termination shall have the same force and effect as if terminated by Landlord pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this paragraph 24. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such damage or other casualty shall be caused by the negligence of Tenant, its agents, contractors or employees, there shall be no abatement of Rent. Except for the abatement of Rent as hereinabove set forth, Tenant shall not be entitled to and hereby waives all claims against Landlord for any compensation or damage for loss of use of the whole or any part of the Premises and/or for any inconvenience or annoyance occasioned by any such damage, destruction, repair or restoration. |
17
25) | Condemnation. |
a) | Termination of Lease. If all or any portion of the Premises or Tenant’s Improvements, shall be acquired for any public or quasi-public use through taking by condemnation, eminent domain or any like proceeding, or purchase in lieu thereof (a “Taking”), such that Tenant reasonably determines that the Premises cannot, at reasonable cost, continue to be operated for its then current use, with sufficient parking for such use, then the Term shall cease and terminate as of the date the condemning authority takes title or possession, whichever first occurs, and all rentals shall be paid up to that date. |
b) | Continuation of Lease. If there is a Taking and this Lease is not terminated as provided in subparagraph (a) above, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect, but with an equitable reduction or abatement of Rent and all other rentals hereunder. |
c) | Apportionment of Award. If there occurs a Taking, whether whole or partial, Landlord and Tenant shall be entitled to receive and retain such separate awards and portions of lump sum awards as may be allocated to their respective interests in any condemnation proceedings, or as may be otherwise agreed, taking into consideration the fact that Landlord’s interest in the Premises is limited to the Premises, as encumbered by this Lease, a reversionary interest in Tenant’s Improvements (exclusive of Tenant’s Moveable Property) upon the expiration of the Term, and the right to receive rent hereunder. If the Premises shall be restored as herein provided, Tenant shall first be entitled to recover the costs and expenses incurred in such restoration out of any such award. Thereafter, if the condemning authority does not make separate awards and the parties are unable to agree as to amounts that are to be allocated to the respective interests of Landlord and Tenant, then each party shall select an Appraiser (as defined in paragraph 3(b) above). Each Appraiser shall separately determine the amount of the balance of the condemnation award that is to be allocated to the interests of Landlord and Tenant. If the percentage of the balance of the total award each Appraiser allocates to Landlord (a) are within 10% of each other, the two (2) allocations shall be averaged and such average shall be the final allocation of the award, or (b) are not within 10% of each other, the two Appraisers shall then select a third Appraiser who shall independently allocate the award between Landlord and Tenant, and the middle of such three (3) allocations shall be the final allocation of the award. |
d) | Early Transfer of Possession by Tenant. Tenant may continue to occupy the Premises and any of Tenant’s Improvements until the condemning authority takes physical possession. However, at any time following notice of intended Taking, or within the time limit specified for delivering possession, Tenant may, by written notice to Landlord, elect to deliver possession of the Premises to Landlord before the actual Taking. Tenant’s right to apportionment of or compensation from the award shall then accrue as of the date that Tenant so delivers possession. |
26) | Signage; Displays; Removal of Wachovia Signs; Name of Building. |
a) | Subject to the following subparagraph (b) concerning displays, Landlord reserves the right to approve, in its sole discretion, any and all signs that Tenant wishes to display on or about the exterior of the Premises. |
b) | Tenant may, without procuring Landlord’s consent, erect and maintain displays advertising/marketing Tenant’s products and services in the Premises and in the 3rd Floor lobby outside of and adjacent to the Premises and in the area under the roof canopy adjacent to the Premises and facing but not on Main Street, so long as such displays are in conformity with all laws and applicable governmental regulations. Tenant shall indemnify and save and hold |
18
harmless Landlord from and against all damage or liability incurred by Landlord as a result of the maintenance by Tenant of any such outside displays. |
c) | Within 30 days after the Effective Date, Landlord shall at its expense remove all of the existing signs in or on the Building referring to Wachovia Bank or any of its predecessors in interest. Rent and other charges hereunder shall be abated for any period of delay in Landlord’s removing such signs. |
d) | Landlord hereby grants to Tenant the exclusive right to from time to time name and rename the Building and maintain signs on the exterior of the Building (except Landlord may also place signs on the exterior of the Building identifying the street address of the Building and parking locations) and in the 2nd and 3rd Floor Common Areas (except for directories which are for the benefit of all tenants of the Building, including Tenant, and lettering on the entrance door of the “Colonial Florist” space described in paragraph 1(a) above which faces the 3rd Floor Lobby). Accordingly, Tenant may place signs on the exterior of the Building and/or in the Common Areas, at its expense, designating the Building as the “Bank of the Xxxxx” building, or such other name as Tenant may choose, provided such other name shall be subject to Landlord’s approval as set forth in the first sentence of subparagraph (a) above, unless Tenant’s reason for changing the name of the Building is on account of a change in Tenant’s business name, whether by reason of marketing purposes or due to Tenant’s merger, consolidation, spin-off, reorganization, or sale of substantially all of its assets, in which event prior consent shall not be required. Tenant, its employees and contractors, shall have a non-exclusive easement during the Term to install, access, clean, maintain, repair, remove and replace any signs placed on the Building and/or in the Common Areas by or for Tenant. Upon expiration or termination of this Lease, Tenant shall remove its signs at its sole cost and expense and shall having a continuing license until its signs are removed for itself, its employees and contractors to access the Building for such purpose, provided that such cost and expense shall be borne entirely by Landlord if termination of this Lease is due to Landlord’s default. |
e) | Landlord shall obtain Tenant’s prior written consent to any sign, lettering, coloring or advertising matter of any nature (“Signage”) for the “Colonial Florist” space which is visible from the Main Street lobby area of the 3rd Floor or the exterior of the Building before permitting the tenant of such premises to display any such Signage. All approved Signage shall be consistent with the character of a first-class office building. In no event shall Landlord permit the following to be displayed in or about the “Colonial Florist” space: (i) paper signs, stickers, banners, flags, decals or emblems of any nature; (ii) any signs of an offensive or obscene nature, or (iii) going out of business, clearance or other similar signs. |
f) | Any and all costs of signage placed by or at the direction of Tenant shall be at Tenant’s expense. |
g) | In recognition of Tenant’s concern that once the Building’s name is changed to the “Bank of the Xxxxx” building other tenants of the Building may mistakenly believe that Tenant is the owner or landlord of the Building, Landlord shall send notice to all existing tenants of the Building of, and include for Tenant’s protection in each lease entered into with other tenants of the Building after the Effective Date, the following disclaimer: |
“The undersigned tenant under this lease hereby acknowledges that the Building is owned, operated and managed by persons and/or entities unrelated to the Bank of the Xxxxx, which is only a tenant of the Building, and all matters with respect to the premises, the Building, or common areas shall be directed to Landlord or its designated management agent and not to Bank of the Xxxxx.” |

a) | Events of Default. The occurrence of any of the following events shall constitute a default by Tenant: |
i) | failure to pay rent when due where such failure continues for a period of 15 days after Tenant receives written notice thereof from Landlord; or |
ii) | unless otherwise provided herein, failure to perform any other provision of this Lease to be performed by Tenant if the failure to perform is not cured within 30 days after Tenant receives written notice thereof from Landlord. If such default cannot reasonably be cured within 30 days, Tenant shall not be in default of this Lease if Tenant commences to cure the default within such 30-day period and diligently and in good faith continues to cure the default until completion, provided the same is capable of being cured by Tenant and is in fact cured within a period of 90 days; or |
iii) | the subjection of any right or interest of Tenant in this Lease to attachment, execution or other levy, or to seizure under legal process, if not released within 60 days; or |
iv) | the appointment of a receiver, not including receivership pursuant to any Leasehold Mortgage, to take possession of Tenant’s interest in the leasehold estate or of Tenant’s operations on the Premises for any reason, if such receivership is not terminated: dismissed or vacated within 60 days after the appointment of the receiver; or |

ix) | Tenant shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due or shall consent to the appointment of a receiver or trustee or liquidator of all or the major part of its property, or the Premises. |

If Tenant shall have failed to cure a default by Tenant after expiration of the applicable time for cure of a particular default, Landlord may, at its election, but without obligation therefor, (i) seek specific performance of any obligation of Tenant, after which Landlord shall retain, and may exercise and enforce, any and all rights which Landlord may have against Tenant as a result of such default, including Landlord’s right to from time to time institute suit to recover from Tenant all overdue Rent and all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord by reason of Tenant’s default, including attorney’s fees, costs of regaining possession and reletting the Premises, broker’s fees, storage fees and repairing and cleaning costs, (ii) from time to time without releasing Tenant in whole or in part from Tenant’s obligation to perform any and all covenants, conditions and agreements to be performed by Tenant hereunder, cure the default at Tenant’s cost, (iii) terminate this Lease by giving Tenant written notice of such termination, (iv) commence eviction proceedings in accordance with the |
22
laws of Virginia, and/or (v) exercise any other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute. Any reasonable cost incurred by Landlord in order to cure such a default by Tenant shall be due immediately from Tenant, together with interest. In all events Landlord shall use its best efforts to release the Premises and Tenant’s Improvements for such term at such rental and upon such other terms and conditions as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate to mitigate damages, with the right to make alterations and repairs to the Premises and Tenant’s Improvements. If Landlord is entitled to monies representing all or part of future payments of Rent hereunder, such amounts shall be discounted to current value based upon the interest rate in effect on the date of such award, as determined pursuant to paragraph 36 below. |
c) | Notices. Notices given under this paragraph 29 shall specify the alleged default and the applicable Lease provisions, and shall demand that Tenant perform the provisions of this Lease or pay the Rent that is in arrears, as the case may be, within the applicable period of time for cure. No such notice shall be deemed a forfeiture or termination of this Lease. |
30) | Default by Landlord. |
a) | Events of Default. Landlord shall be in default of this Lease if it fails to perform any provision of this Lease that it is obligated to perform and if the failure to perform is not cured within 30 days after written notice of the default has been given by Tenant to Landlord, unless the same is because of a breach of a representation or warranty contained in paragraph 6 above or a covenant or agreement contained in paragraph 35 below, in which event no cure period shall be allowed, or if Tenant, upon paying the Rent reserved in this Lease and performing all other terms, covenants, and conditions of this Lease on Tenant’s part to be performed and observed hereunder, shall be deprived of the right or ability to peaceably and quietly have, hold, and enjoy the Premises during the Term, subject to the terms of this Lease and to any Permitted Title Exceptions. If a default described above for which a cure period is provided cannot reasonably be cured within 30 days, Landlord shall not be in default of this Lease if Landlord commences to cure the default within such 30-day period and diligently and in good faith continues to cure the default until completion, provided the same is capable of being cured by Landlord and is in fact cured within a period of 90 days. |
b) | Right to Cure; Tenant’s Remedies. If Landlord shall have failed to cure a default by Landlord after expiration of the applicable time, if any, for cure of a particular default, Tenant may, at its election, but without obligation therefor at any time during the continuance of such default after the expiration of said 30 days notice (i) seek specific performance of any obligation of Landlord, after which Tenant shall retain, and may exercise and enforce, any and all rights which Tenant may have against Landlord as a result of such default, (ii) from time to time without releasing Landlord in whole or in part from Landlord’s obligation to perform any and all covenants, conditions and agreements to be performed by Landlord hereunder, cure the default at Landlord’s cost, (iii) terminate this Lease by giving Landlord written notice of such termination, and/or (iv) exercise any other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute. Any reasonable cost incurred by Tenant in order to cure such a default by Landlord shall be due immediately from Landlord, together with interest. Tenant shall have the right to deduct from the Rent and other charges due hereunder any amounts due from Landlord pursuant to this paragraph 30 if Landlord fails to reimburse Tenant as provided herein. |
c) | Notices. Notices given under this paragraph 30 shall specify the alleged default and the applicable Lease provisions, and shall demand that Landlord perform the provisions of this |
23
Lease within the applicable period of time for cure. No such notice shall be deemed a forfeiture or termination of this Lease unless expressly set forth in such notice. |
d) | Landlord’s Payment Following Lease Termination. Upon any termination of this Lease by Tenant as permitted under this Lease, in addition to and without limitation of any of Tenant’ s other rights and remedies under this Lease, Landlord shall pay to Tenant in cash, within 10 days after the date of such termination, an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the sum of all of Tenant’s hard and soft costs relating to the construction of Tenant’s Improvements by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of months from and including the date of such termination through the date of expiration of the Term, including all Option Terms, and the denominator of which is the total number of months included within the Term, including all Option Terms. If Landlord fails to make such reimbursement to Tenant within such 10-day period, the amount so due Tenant from Landlord shall bear interest from the date of termination until paid. |
31) | Remedies Cumulative; No Waiver. No remedy herein or otherwise conferred upon or reserved hereunder shall be considered exclusive of any other remedy, but the same shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute, and every power and remedy given by this Lease may be exercised, from time to time, as often as occasion therefor may arise or as may be deemed expedient. No delay or omission by either party to exercise any right or power arising from any breach by the other of any term or condition of this Lease, and no acceptance of full or partial rent during the continuance of any such breach, shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such breach or an acquiescence therein; nor shall the exercise, delay or non-exercise of any such right or remedy impair the rights granted hereunder or be construed as a waiver of such right or remedy or as a waiver, acquiescence in or consent to any further or succeeding breach of the same or any other covenant. |
32) | Subordination; Non-Disturbance and Attornment. Landlord understands and agrees that Tenant shall not be required hereafter to subordinate its interest in this Lease to any deed of trust, mortgage or to any other lien, encumbrance, condition, restriction, covenant or agreement affecting the Premises, provided, however, that Tenant hereby agrees to subordinate its interest in this Lease to a deed of trust, or mortgage if the beneficiary and trustee or the mortgagee thereunder executes, causes to be acknowledged and delivers to Tenant a Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement with Tenant containing substantially the same information and provisions as, but no less favorable to Tenant than, the information and provisions set forth on Exhibit 7/32. If by virtue of an amendment hereto, operation of law or for any other reason, any mortgagee, trustee or beneficiary under a deed of trust or holder of any other security instrument claims an interest in the Premises prior to that of Tenant, Tenant’s estate hereunder shall be subordinate to the interest of such party only if such party executes, causes to be acknowledged and delivers to Tenant a Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement from such party containing substantially the same information as, but no less favorable to Tenant than, the information and provisions set forth on Exhibit 7/32. |
33) | Surrender and Holding Over. |
a) | Surrender. Upon the expiration or other termination of this Lease, Tenant shall return all keys and quit and surrender to Landlord the Premises, together with Tenant’s Improvements and all other property affixed to the Premises, excluding Tenant’s Moveable Property, which shall remain the property of Tenant, in good order and condition, ordinary wear and tear, casualty and condemnation excepted. Subject to the last sentence of this subparagraph (a), Tenant shall, prior to the expiration or other termination of this Lease, remove all Tenant’s Moveable Property and other property belonging to it which is not affixed to the Premises and failing to do so, Landlord |
24
may cause all of said personal property to be removed. Tenant’s obligation to observe or perform this covenant shall survive the expiration or other termination of this Lease. In the alternative, Landlord may, at its option, treat any and all items not removed by Tenant on or before the date of expiration or other termination of this Lease, other than such items that are not owned by Tenant, as having been relinquished by Tenant and such items shall become the property of Landlord with the same force and effect as if Tenant had never owned or otherwise had any interest in such items. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, Tenant shall not be obligated to remove any safes (whether or not built-in), vaults, night depositories, security deposit box assemblies, ATM machines and equipment, teller stations or any other items of Tenant’s Moveable Property that Tenant may elect to leave in the Premises upon the expiration or other termination of this Lease and Tenant shall not be obligated to reimburse Landlord for the cost of removing said items from the Premises. In the event Tenant does remove its ATM machines and equipment on surrendering the Premises, Tenant shall cover and secure any openings in walls caused by the removal of such machines and equipment. |
b) | Holding Over. This Lease shall automatically terminate and be of no further force or effect upon the expiration of the Term, and any holding over by Tenant after such expiration shall not constitute a renewal hereof or provide Tenant with any rights hereunder except that Tenant shall be deemed to be in possession of the Premises on a three-month to three-month tenancy commencing on the first day following the expiration of this Lease and a tenant at sufferance of Landlord. Any such tenancy shall be subject to the terms and conditions herein contained, and the monthly Rent shall be equal to 1/12th of the fixed annual Rent as of the date of expiration of the Term and said tenancy may be terminated at any time upon 30 days written notice by Landlord to Tenant or by Tenant to Landlord. The acceptance of rent under the provisions of this paragraph 33 shall not, however, be construed as a waiver by Landlord of any rights of reentry as set forth in this Lease, or as a renewal hereof. |
34) | Notices. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Lease, all notices required or permitted by any provision of this Lease shall be given in writing, either by personally handing to the party or its agent such written notice or by depositing the same in the United States mail with sufficient postage by certified mail, all charges prepaid, addressed to the party to whom the notice is to be given at the address given in this Lease as stated below or at such other address as may from time to time be given in writing by the parties. Notice shall be deemed to have been made at the time of depositing the letter in the United States mail. |

35) | Asbestos. |
a) | Tenant acknowledges that Landlord has furnished Tenant with a copy of a three ringer binder of information entitled “Asbestos Abatement and O & M Implementation,” dated December 2002 (the “O&M Document”), which includes an asbestos survey report, dated May 2002 (the “Report”), and a document entitled “Asbestos Operations and Maintenance Plan”, dated June 2002 (the “Plan”), all prepared by Environmental Investigations, Inc., and all regarding the presence of asbestos-containing materials (“ACMs”) in, on, under, at, or about the Building, including the Premises, and all the Common Areas. In reliance on the protections afforded Tenant in the following provisions of this paragraph 35 and otherwise in this Lease and Landlord’s representations and warranties in paragraph 6 above, Tenant has accepted the Premises subject to the existence of those ACMs identified in the O&M Document and the Plan which Landlord has not agreed to remove, xxxxx or otherwise remediate prior to Tenant’s occupancy as described in paragraph 6(c) above concerning Landlord’s Work. Tenant will abide by the operating and maintenance recommendations as set forth in the Plan to the extent they relate to Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises, and Landlord will abide by those recommendations to the extent they relate to Landlord’s ownership, operation and management of the Building, including the Premises, and all the Common Areas. |
b) | If compliance with any present or future federal, state, and/or local governmental laws, rules, regulations, or government orders or directives (including the Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. sec. 7401 et seq., the National Emissions Standards for Air Pollutants (“NESHAPS”), the regulations promulgated under any of the foregoing, and the regulations promulgated under the Occupational Safety and Health Act (“OSHA”) at 40 C.F.R. Parts 1910 and 1926)) (collectively, “Asbestos Related Laws”) requires that any remedial or corrective action be taken with respect to asbestos or ACMs in, on, under, at, or about the Building, the Premises, and/or the Common Areas, then Landlord, at its sole cost and expense, shall promptly take all such remedial or corrective action as may be so required by such Asbestos Related Laws. Any and all remedial and corrective work undertaken by or on behalf of Landlord shall be performed in accordance with applicable Asbestos Related Laws and best industry practices. |
c) | Landlord shall, at its sole cost and expense, throughout the Term keep in full force and effect an agreement with a competent, professional, technical environmental consulting and oversight services firm (“Environmental Consultant”) mutually acceptable to Landlord and Tenant to implement and regularly update the Plan and to give written assurances to Landlord (and to Tenant with respect to the Premises and the Common Areas adjacent to the Premises) that all recommendations set forth in the Plan are being properly adhered to by Landlord, tenants of the Building, and their respective employees, agents and contractors and that any asbestos removal, abatement and/or remediation will be, is being, and, to the extent completed from time to time, has been accomplished in a competent, safe and effective manner consistent with all applicable Asbestos Related Laws and best industry practices, and in furtherance of the preservation of the value, use and benefit of the Building, including the Premises, and all Common Areas, and all asbestos removal, abatement and/or remediation shall be performed by a competent, professional, asbestos abatement contractor mutually acceptable to Landlord and Tenant. Landlord shall ensure that each consultant and contractor performing asbestos-related work provides Landlord and Tenant proof that it has obtained the necessary licenses and permits to perform such work in Lynchburg, Virginia and that it has obtained comprehensive general liability insurance with a combined single limit of not less than $1,000,000.00, which insurance shall be “true occurrence” insurance with no sunset clause and shall include deletion of exclusion for hazardous materials/asbestos pollution and escape release, and other insurances all with such coverage limits and on such other terms as are satisfactory to both Landlord and |
26
Tenant, and each asbestos abatement contractor shall enter into a form of asbestos abatement agreement on such terms, including waivers of liability and indemnification for Landlord’s and Tenant’s benefit, as are acceptable to Landlord and Tenant. Tenant reserves the right to reject any Environmental Consultant and/or abatement contractor proposed by Landlord, if their respective work is to be conducted in, on, under, at, about or otherwise impacts safe use of the Premises or any Common Areas adjacent to the Premises, and any agreement with an Environmental Consultant with respect to such work shall be subject to termination on an at-will basis by either Landlord or Tenant. Further, Tenant reserves the right to engage, at its sole expense, its own independent environmental consultant at any time to oversee Landlord’s Environmental Consultant and contractors with respect to work conducted in, on, under, at, about or otherwise impacting safe use of the Premises or any Common Areas adjacent to the Premises. |
d) | The Plan, as supplemented and amended from time to time, shall provide for a program of training, cleaning, work practices and periodic surveillance and testing to maintain friable and/or non-friable ACMs in good condition, ensure cleanup of asbestos fibers previously released, and prevent further fiber release by minimizing and controlling asbestos disturbance all in conformity with Asbestos Related Laws and best industry practices. Landlord shall, as part of such Plan, instruct its Environmental Consultant to regularly monitor the Building, including the Premises, and all the Common Areas, to inspect and take phase contrast microscopy samples for the presence of asbestos, and all reports and results of laboratory analysis shall be furnished to Tenant at the same time they are provided to Landlord or its agent. The Premises shall be inspected as frequently as the Environmental Consultant deems prudent, but in no event less frequently than the frequency required by applicable Asbestos Related Laws or best industry practices, which ever is more stringent, and in no case less frequently than monthly. Landlord shall authorize and direct the Environmental Consultant to immediately disclose to Tenant and provide copies of all information in its possession, concerning asbestos or ACMs or other hazardous materials in, on, under, at, about or otherwise impacting safe use of the Premises or any Common Areas adjacent to the Premises, as such information becomes available from time to time. |
e) | Landlord shall ensure that the Environmental Consultant at all appropriate times in each circumstance reports to Landlord and Tenant as to whether: (i) notice of the asbestos response action should be provided to the proper federal, state and local government authorities; (ii) if such activities are required to be reported, that the reports have been properly and correctly made; (iii) that the response action is being, and, to the extent completed, has been completed in accordance with the most current guidance document and the statutes and regulations above cited; (iv) that the ambient interior concentrations of asbestos are less than or equal to those allowed pursuant to regulations promulgated under NESHAPS and OSHA or other applicable Asbestos Related Laws or best industry practices for re-occupancy of buildings (which currently require ambient air concentrations of asbestos to be less than 0.01 f/cc (fibers per cubic centimeter)), whichever is most stringent; and (v) that all asbestos or ACMs removed or to be removed from the site are to be or have been transported by a licensed or permitted special waste hauler qualified under the Hazardous Materials Transportation Act, was transported in accordance with all necessary permits and applicable regulations and are to be or have been disposed of at a licensed or permitted treatment, storage or disposal facility in compliance with all necessary and appropriate licenses or permits issued or required to be issued for such disposition. |
f) | Landlord’s maintenance, repair and replacement obligations under this Lease, as set forth in paragraph 14 above, shall include the obligation to maintain, remove, xxxxx and otherwise |
27
remediate, at Landlord’s sole expense, the asbestos and ACMs existing in the Building, including the Premises, and all the Common Areas, in accordance with the recommendations set forth in the O&M Document and the Plan, as each may be amended or supplemented from time to time, and all applicable Asbestos Related Laws and best industry practices. |
g) | Tenant agrees to submit to Landlord its plans for any proposed structural alteration of the walls, ceilings or floors of the Premises so that Landlord may instruct its Environmental Consultant to determine whether the alteration will disturb asbestos or ACMs or require removal or abatement of asbestos or ACMs, in which event Landlord shall, at its expense, engage its abatement contractor to comply with the recommendations of such Environmental Consultant in removing, abating and otherwise remediating asbestos and ACMs in connection with such alteration. |
h) | Rent and all other charges due under this Lease shall be entirely abated for any period during which Tenant’s business is disrupted by any required cleaning, removal, abatement, enclosure, encapsulation, repair or other remedy of any asbestos or ACMs, except for those instances arising out of any structural alteration to the walls, ceilings or floors of the Premises performed by Tenant after Tenant’s initial fit-out, improvements, and installations. |
i) | Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, if (i) surveillance and testing of the Building reveal that the Building, the Premises and/or any Common Areas contain(s) asbestos or ACMs which Asbestos Related Laws require Landlord to xxxxx or cure, or (ii) if the ambient interior concentrations of asbestos are more than those allowed pursuant to regulations promulgated under NESHAPS and OSHA or other applicable Asbestos Related Laws or best industry practices for re-occupancy of buildings (which currently require ambient air concentrations of asbestos to be less than 0.01 f/cc (fibers per cubic centimeter)), whichever is most stringent, or (iii) if the presence of asbestos or ACMs in the Building, the Premises, and/or any Common Areas, or compliance with operating and maintenance recommendations of Landlord’s Environmental Consultant or as set forth in the O&M Document and/or the Plan, materially interferes with Tenant’s use of the Premises for the Permitted Uses, then Tenant may immediately terminate this Lease upon written notice to Landlord, in which case Tenant shall be fully released of liability under this Lease and Rent shall be apportioned as of the date of such termination, subject to any abatement in Rent prior to termination provided for under this Lease. |
j) | In addition to but not in limitation of any other indemnification obligations under this Lease, Landlord shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Tenant, its affiliates, subsidiaries, officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives from and against all claims (including claims in the nature of workers’ compensation or claims made by carriers of workers’ compensation insurance), actions, damages, liability and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, resulting from or arising out of cleaning, removal, abatement, enclosure, encapsulation, repair or other remedy of any asbestos or ACMs, or exposure of any person to asbestos, ACMs, or other hazardous materials in, on, under, at, or about the Building, the Premises, and/or any Common Areas. |
36) | Interest. Wherever in this Lease a party is entitled to interest on sums it has expended, such amount shall bear interest from the date of expenditure until the date of repayment at an annual rate equal to 2% above the Prime Rate, but not greater than the highest non-usurious rate then permitted by law. The “Prime Rate” means the prime rate of interest (or base rate) from time to time reported in the “Money Rates” column or section of The Wall Street Journal as being the base rate on corporate loans at larger United States Money Center commercial banks on the first date on which The Wall Street Journal is published in each month. If The Wall Street Journal ceases publication of the Prime Rate, then the “Prime Rate” shall mean the “Prime Rate” or “base rate” announced by Bank of the Xxxxx (whether or not such rate has actually been charged by Bank of the Xxxxx). If Bank of |
28
the Xxxxx discontinues the practice of announcing such rate, “Prime Rate” shall mean the highest rate charged by Bank of the Xxxxx on short-term, unsecured loans to its most creditworthy large corporate borrowers. |
37) | Waiver of Landlord’s Lien. Landlord, within 10 days after demand from Tenant, shall execute and deliver any document required by any supplier, lessor or lender in connection with the installation in the Premises and/or Tenant’s Improvements of Tenant’s Moveable Property, pursuant to which document Landlord waives any rights it may have or acquire with respect to that property, if the supplier, lessor or lender agrees in writing that (i) it will remove that property from the Premises within 30 days after the expiration of the Term, but if it does not remove the property within 30 days after the expiration of the Term it shall have waived any rights it may have had to the property; and (ii) it will make whatever restoration to the Premises that is reasonably necessitated by the removal. Anything in this Lease to the contrary not withstanding, Landlord hereby waives its right, if any, to distrain upon or to secure a lien against the inventory, accounts and deposits held by Tenant for Tenant’s nonpayment of Rent or other default under this Lease, or otherwise. The waiver provided for in the preceding sentence is intended to be, and is, automatic and self-operating; provided, however, Landlord agrees that upon Tenant’s request Landlord shall execute such additional instruments as are requested by Tenant to further evidence and confirm the same. |
38) | Performance under Protest. If at any time a dispute shall arise as to any amount or sum of money to be paid by one party to the other under the provisions hereof, the party against whom the obligation to pay the money is asserted shall have the right to make payment “under protest” and such payment shall not be regarded as a voluntary payment and there shall survive the right on the part of said party to institute suit for recovery of such sum together with interest. If it shall be adjudged that there was no legal obligation on the part of said party to pay such sum or any part thereof, said party shall be entitled to recover such sum or so much thereof as it was not legally required to pay plus interest at the rate provided for in this Lease. Neither party which fails to pay “under protest” waives its right to later object to such payment. |
39) | Telecommunications Equipment; Mechanical Room. At any time during the Term, Tenant may install, with the prior written consent of Landlord, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, except for removal, abatement and/or remediation of ACMs, which shall be at Landlord’s sole cost and expense, any telecommunication equipment upon the roof of the Building or in the Premises and may use available chutes, chases, and conduits in the Building to run its lines, wires or cables, all in compliance with all applicable laws, without the payment of any additional rent. Tenant shall have a non-exclusive easement during the Term for it, its employees and contractors, to install, access, clean, maintain, repair and replace, and remove any such telecommunications equipment as Tenant deems necessary from time to time. Likewise, Tenant, its employees and contractors shall have a non-exclusive easement to use the Mechanical Room on the 2nd Floor to install, access, clean, maintain, repair and replace, and remove Tenant’s telecommunications and other equipment, installations and facilities. |
40) | ATMs. At any time during the term of the Lease, Tenant may install one or more walk-in ATMs inside and/or outside of the Premises under the roof overhang facing Main Street near the entrance to the Premises in compliance with all applicable laws, without the payment of any additional rent.

Exhibit 7/32
NON-DISTURBANCE AND ATTORNMENT AGREEMENT
This NON-DISTURBANCE AND ATTORNMENT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) dated the day of 20 between , a whose address is (“Lender”), and BANK OF THE XXXXX, a Virginia banking corporation, whose address is (“Tenant”).
Recitals:
A. Tenant has entered into a Deed of Lease dated , 20 (the “Lease”) with Jamesview Investments LLC, a Virginia limited liability company (“Landlord”), covering certain premises more fully described in the Lease (the “Premises”), which premises are located on the second and third floors of Landlord’s office building at the corner of Ninth and Main Streets in the Central Business District of downtown Lynchburg having a street address of 000 Xxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000 (the “Building”). The Premises and the Building form a part of the real estate currently designated by the City of Lynchburg as Tax Map Parcel No. 57611220 and more particularly described on Schedule A attached hereto and incorporated in this Agreement (the “Property”).
B. Lender has made a loan to Landlord in the sum of $ secured by a Deed of Trust on Landlord’s interest in the Property (the “Security Instrument”), recorded in the Clerk’s Office of the Circuit Court of the City of Lynchburg Virginia.
C. The Lease requires that Lender agree not to disturb Tenant’s possessory rights in the Premises under the Lease in the event Lender should foreclose the Security Instrument, as provided by this Agreement.
Therefore, in consideration of the mutual promises, covenants and agreements herein contained, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound hereby, promise, covenant and agree as follows:
1. In the event that Lender or any trustee for Lender takes possession of the Property, as mortgagee-in-possession or otherwise, or forecloses the Security Instrument or otherwise causes the Property to be sold pursuant to the Security Instrument, Lender agrees not to affect, terminate or disturb Tenant’s right to quiet enjoyment and possession of the Premises under the terms of the Lease or any of Tenant’s other rights under the Lease in the exercise of Lender’s rights under the Security Instrument so long as no event of default has occurred, which has continued to exist for such period of time (after notice and opportunity to cure, if any, required by the Lease) as would entitle Landlord under the Lease to terminate the Lease.
2. In the event that Lender succeeds to the interest of Landlord under the Lease and/or Landlord’s fee title to the Property, or if anyone else acquires title to or the right to possession of the Property upon the foreclosure of the Security Instrument or by other sale pursuant to the Security Instrument, or upon the sale of the Property by Lender or its successors or assigns or any trustee for Lender after foreclosure or other sale pursuant to the Security Instrument or acquisition of title in lieu thereof or otherwise (each a “Transfer”), the Lease shall continue in full force and effect as a direct lease between Lender or its successors or assigns or the then owner of Landlord’s fee title to the Property after foreclosure or other sale pursuant to the Security Instrument (hereinafter collectively referred to in this paragraph as “Successor Landlord”) and Tenant. Successor Landlord and Tenant shall recognize one another as landlord and tenant, respectively, under the Lease and shall be bound to one another under all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease as of the date and time of the Transfer, and Successor
37
Landlord shall assume all of the obligations of Landlord under the Lease. Accordingly, from and after such event, Successor Landlord and Tenant shall have the same remedies against each other for the breach of an agreement contained in the Lease as Tenant and Landlord had before Successor Landlord succeeded to the interest of Landlord; provided, however, that Successor Landlord shall not be bound by any rent or additional rent that Tenant might have paid for more than one month in advance to any prior landlord (including Landlord). Successor Landlord shall give credit to Tenant for any security deposit of Tenant’s held by any prior landlord (including Landlord). The foregoing provisions of this Agreement, including without limitation Tenant’s attornment to Successor Landlord, shall be self-operative upon a Transfer of the Property.
3. Tenant hereby agrees (i) not to pay any rent or other sums due or to become due under the Lease more than 30 days in advance of the date on which the same are due or to become due under the Lease; and (ii) upon receipt from Lender of notice of any default by Landlord under the Security Instrument, to pay to Lender directly all rent and other sums due under the Lease.
4. Landlord joins in this Agreement to consent to the terms hereof.
5. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their successors and assigns.
6. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement by their duly authorized officers as of the date and year first above written.
