|
(a) The term of
this Lease shall commence on the date (the
("Commencement Date") on
which Landlord delivers the Leased Premises to Tenant with Landlord's Work (as
defined in Section 27.28 hereof) substantially complete. Landlord's Work will be

defects in materials or workmanship or incomplete items within thirty days after
Tenant provides a list of all such defects, such list to be provided within

approximately thirteen (13) years running from the Commencement Date through the
last day of the month in which the thirteenth anniversary of the Commencement
Date occurs (the "Termination Date").
(e)
Tenant shall have an option (the "Option") to extend the term of this
Lease for one (1) additional terms of seven (7) years, one additional term of
five (5) years and one additional term of four years and ten months (each, a
"Renewal Term"), each successively, commencing on the first day next succeeding
the Termination Date or the last day of the immediately preceding Renewal Term,

fifteen (15) nor less than nine (9) months prior to the Expiration Date of the
term of this Lease or the last day of the immediately preceding Renewal Term, as
the case may be (the "Exercise Notice"). Upon Tenant's giving of the Exercise
Notice, the term of this Lease shall be extended automatically upon the terms
and conditions without the execution of an extension agreement or other
instrument. If Tenant shall not give Landlord the Exercise Notice at the time
and in the manner set form above, the Option shall terminate and be deemed
waived by Tenant. Time is of the essence as to the date for the giving of the
Exercise Notice.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing provisions, if on the date that Tenant exercises the Option, or if
on any subsequent date up to and including the date upon which the Renewal Term
commences, Tenant is in default, beyond any applicable notice and grace periods,
in the payment of Minimum Rent or additional rent hereunder, or is in default in
the performance of any of the other terms, conditions or provisions of this
Lease, Tenant's exercise of the Option and the extension of the term
contemplated thereby shall, at the option of Landlord exercised by written
notice to Tenant, be rendered null and void and shall be of no further force and
effect and Tenant shall have no other additional right to exercise such Option,
which shall be deemed waived by Tenant.
Time
shall be of the essence with respect to the exercise of the Option by
Tenant.
(f)
Any access by Tenant to the Leased Premises prior to the
Commencement Date (which prior access shall occur only with Landlord's prior
written consent) shall be upon all of the terms, covenants and conditions of
this Lease, except for the payment of Minimum Rent and Tenant's proportionate
share of additional charges.

shall become that of "month to month", terminable by either party upon thirty
days' prior written notice, at a monthly rental equal to one and one-half times
the sum of the monthly installment of Minimum Rent, payable during the last
month of the term. Tenant shall also pay all other charges payable under the

shall pay a "late charge" not to exceed eight (8%) percent on any Minimum Rent

|
Tenant
shall pay to Landlord each month together with Minimum Rent any sales or other

ARTICLE
III - INTENTIONALLY OMITTED
ARTICLE IV -
TAXES
(a)
From and after the Commencement Date, and for each year of the lease term, or

of the Real Estate Taxes (as hereinafter defined) which may be levied or
assessed by any lawful authority against the land and improvements in the
Shopping Center.

(b)
Tenant shall pay a portion of such taxes equal to the product obtained by
multiplying the total taxes by a fraction, the numerator being the rentable
square foot area of the Leased Premises, and the denominator of which shall be
the total square footage of all leasable First floor area in the Shopping Center
(hereinafter called Tenant's "proportionate share"). Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if any portion or portions of the Shopping Center are separately
assessed for real estate tax purposes, at Landlord's option, Tenant's
proportionate share of Real Estate Taxes shall be equal to the product obtained
by multiplying the total taxes on the parcel or parcels containing the Leased
Premises by a fraction, the numerator being the rentable square foot area of the
Leased Premises, and the denominator of which shall be the total square footage
of all leaseable first floor area on such parcel or parcels excluding any
portion of such parcel or parcels which are separately assessed and paid for
directly by another tenant. In the event that certain buildings and/or
improvements in the Shopping Center are separately assessed, but land area is
not, Landlord may, at its option and in its reasonable discretion, calculate
Tenant's proportionate share of each component of Real Estate Taxes in
accordance with the respective formulas set forth herein.
(c)
Tenant shall initially pay an estimated amount of $333.33 per month toward its
proportionate share of all Real Estate Taxes. Landlord shall estimate Tenant's
annual share of Real Estate Taxes referred to in this Section and Tenant shall
pay one-twelfth (l/12th) of such estimate monthly in advance without prior
demand therefor and without any setoff or deduction whatsoever, together with
the payment of Minimum Rent. Landlord shall have the right, at any time and from
time to time during each calendar year, to increase said estimates based on
changed circumstances, additional facts previously unknown to Landlord or for
any other reason. After the end of each calendar year (or fiscal tax year should
Landlord so decide), Landlord shall furnish Tenant a statement of the actual
Real Estate Taxes for the Leased Premises as aforesaid, and there shall be an
adjustment between Landlord and Tenant, with payment to Landlord on demand, or
credit to Tenant against the next such payment due, as the case may require, to
the end that Landlord shall receive from Tenant the entire and proper amount of
Tenant's annual share of Real Estate Taxes for such period.
(d)
For any portion of the aggregate lease term covered herein which is less than a
full calendar year, the allocation of taxes shall be further reduced to limit
such charge to a corresponding proportionate share of such year. This last
provision shall apply both at the beginning and the end of the lease
term.
(e)
"Real Estate
Taxes" shall mean any property taxes, betterments and assessments imposed
upon the land and improvements upon said land, flat rate water and sewer
charges, and all other governmental levies made with respect to real property;
Real Estate Taxes shall not include Landlord's business privilege, franchise,
gross receipts, earned income or other taxes based on the gross receipts or
income of Landlord; provided, however, that if due to a change in the method of
taxation, any franchise, income, rent or profit tax shall be levied against the
owner of the Shopping Center or by Landlord in substitution for or in lieu of
any tax which would otherwise constitute a real estate tax, such franchise,
income, rent or profit tax shall be deemed to be a Real Estate Tax for the
purpose hereof. Additionally, Real Estate Taxes shall be any and all expenses
incurred by Landlord, at its discretion, in reducing or maintaining the existing
level of such tax obligations to the taxing authorities.
(f)
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time during the term
of this Lease any assessment (either general or special) is levied upon or
assessed against the Leased Premises or any part thereof, and such assessment
may be paid in installments, Tenant's obligation under this Section to pay such
assessment shall be limited to the amount of such installments (plus applicable
interest thereon charged by the taxing authority, if any) which become due
during the term hereof, calculated using the payment option as determined by
Landlord.

(g) In
the event there is currently in effect any law providing for the taxation of
leases or if any law is enacted or adopted after the Effective Date which
changes the laws now in force for the taxation of leases, including but not
limited to a Goods and Services Tax (GST), or the manner of the operation of any
such taxes, or which otherwise imposes a tax either directly or indirectly on
the lease or the rents received therefrom, Tenant will pay such tax with
interest and penalties thereon. This provision shall not be deemed to impose
liability for any income or franchise tax owed by Landlord by reason of this
Lease.
(h) For
purpose of this Lease, the periods applicable to the payment of Real Estate
Taxes shall be determined on the basis of the calendar year in which the
Landlord pays the taxes rather than the period as may be stated within the tax
xxxx.
(i) For
the first partial calendar year of this Lease, Tenant shall pay its
proportionate share of the Real Estate Taxes as provided for in this Article IV for the
entire year multiplied by a fraction consisting of the number of days in the
calendar year subsequent to the Commencement Date, divided by the number of days
in that calendar year.

to maintain pursuant to this Article XIII, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as
additional rent, Tenant's share of the Fire Insurance (as defined below) which
may be maintained by Landlord on the buildings and improvements in the Shopping

(b)
On each date that an installment of Minimum Rent is due, Tenant shall pay, as
additional rent, an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12th) of its share of the
estimated total premiums paid by Landlord for Fire Insurance (as defined below).
Tenant shall initially pay $83.33 per month towards its share of said insurance
premium(s). Landlord will xxxx the Tenant annually for its proportionate share
accompanied by copies of the appropriate invoices setting forth the amount due
from Tenant on account of the Fire Insurance for the preceding year and the
amount of estimated Fire Insurance paid by Tenant during such year. The total
billing for the insurance less the amount previously paid by Tenant will result
in an adjustment whereby Tenant will either receive a credit for an overpayment
toward the next installment or installments due under this Section or Tenant
shall pay within ten (10) days of the receipt of such statement, any balance due
to Landlord for such insurance. The monthly amount to be paid on account will be

of insurance costs most recently determined. With
respect to any insurance effective for a term extending beyond the term of
Tenant's lease, Tenant will be obligated to pay only such proportion of Tenant's
share of the premium as that portion of the term of the policy lapsing prior to
the expiration of the term of Tenant's lease bears to the entire term of the

(a)
Tenant agrees that it shall not keep, use, sell or offer for sale in or upon the
Leased Premises any article which may be prohibited by the standard form of fire
insurance policy. Tenant agrees to pay any increase in Landlord’s premiums for
fire and extended coverage insurance during the term of this Lease resulting
from Tenant’s use of the Leased Premises or the type of merchandise sold by
Tenant in the Leased Premises, whether or not Landlord has consented to the
same. In determining whether increased premiums are the result of Tenant's use
of the Leased Premises, a schedule, issued by the organization making the
insurance rate on the Leased Premises, showing the various components of such
rate, shall be conclusive evidence of the several items and charges which make
up the fire insurance rate on the Leased Premises.
(b)
In the event Tenant's use or occupancy of the Leased Premises causes an
increase in Landlords premiums for the fire, boiler and/or casualty rates on the
Leased Premises or any part thereof above the rate for the least hazardous type
of occupancy legally permitted in the Leased Premises, Tenant shall also pay in
such event, any additional premiums, including on the rent and terrorism
insurance policy that may be carried by the Landlord for its protection against
loss resulting from fire or terrorist act. Bills for such additional premiums
shall be sent by Landlord to

Waiver of
Subrogation.

Neither
party to this Lease shall be liable for any damage by fire or other peril
includable in the coverage afforded by the standard form of fire insurance
policy with extended coverage endorsement attached, no matter how caused, it
being understood that the damaged party will look solely to its insurer for
reimbursement, provided that this waiver of liability shall apply only to the
extent that the party incurring such loss is actually reimbursed for such loss
by the proceeds of insurance. Landlord's and Tenant's policies of insurance
shall contain a waiver of subrogation confirming the foregoing. Any waiver of
rights required by this Section 13.06 shall
be ineffective if such waiver shall be unobtainable, or result in a breach of
the insurance contract or in material increase in the cost of insurance of the
waiving party, unless the other party shall pay such increase within ten (10)
days after notice thereof.

Landlord's interest in the Shopping Center or portion thereof is subordinated
and to any xxxxxxxxx by or under which Landlord holds its interest therein,
regardless of the time when any such mortgage or any such xxxxxxxxx (or any

evidencing such loan or xxxxxxxxx in which the lender(s) or overlandlord agree
for itself, its successors and assigns by written instrument in such form which
is acceptable to the lender(s) or overlandlord, as the case may be: (i) to be
bound by the terms of this Lease; provided, however, the lender(s) or
overlandlord, as the case may be, shall not be (a) liable for any act or
omission of any prior landlord (including Landlord); (b) bound by any rent or
additional rent which Tenant might have paid for more than one (1) month in
advance to any prior landlord (including Landlord); or (c) bound by any
amendment or modification of the Lease made without lender's or overlandlord' s
consent; (ii) to not disturb Tenant's use or possession of the Leased Premises
in the event of a foreclosure of such lien or encumbrance so long as Tenant is
not in default hereunder; (iii) to not join Tenant as a party defendant in any
foreclosure proceeding relating to the Shopping Center or any part thereof
(except to the extent required to prosecute said foreclosure proceeding); (iv)

may be, simultaneous with any notice given by Tenant to Landlord in the event
that Landlord defaults; and (v) to require Tenant to give the lender(s) or
overlandlord, as the case maybe, the right to cure a Landlord default
simultaneous with Landlord's right to cure. If any ground lease covering the

(b)
The consent by
Landlord to any assignment or subletting shall not constitute a waiver of the
necessity for such consent to any subsequent assignment or subletting. This
prohibition against assigning or subletting shall be construed to include a
prohibition against any assignment or subletting by operation of law. If this
Lease be assigned, or if the Leased Premises or any part thereof be underlet or
occupied by any entity other than Tenant, Landlord may collect rent from the
assignee, undertenant or occupant, and apply the net amount collected to the
rent herein reserved, but no such assignment, underletting, occupancy or
collection shall be deemed a waiver of this covenant, or the acceptance of the
assignee, under-tenant or occupant as Tenant, or a release of Tenant from the
further performance by Tenant of covenants on the part of Tenant herein
contained.
For
purposes of this Article 16, (i) the
transfer, directly or indirectly, of a majority of any class of the issued and
outstanding capital stock of any corporate tenant or subtenant, or the direct or
indirect transfer or a majority of the total interest in any other entity
(limited liability company, partnership or otherwise) which is a tenant or
subtenant, however accomplished, whether in a single transaction or in a series
of related or unrelated transactions (including, without limitation, and by way
of example only, the transfer of a majority of the outstanding capital stock of
a company which company owns a second tier company, which in turn owns 51% of
the outstanding capital stock of a corporate tenant hereunder), shall be deemed
an assignment of this Lease, or of such sublease, as the case may be, (ii) a so
called "takeover" agreement (i.e., an agreement where another entity agrees to
become responsible for all or a portion of Tenant's obligations under this Lease
without actually entering into an assignment or sublease) shall be deemed a
transfer of this Lease, (iii) any person or legal representative of Tenant, to
whom Tenant's interest under this Lease passes by operation of law, or
otherwise, shall be bound by the provisions of this Article 16, and (iv) a
modification, amendment or extension without Landlord's prior written consent of
a sublease previously consented to by Landlord shall be deemed a new sublease.
Tenant agrees to furnish to Landlord upon demand at any time and from time to
time such information and assurances as Landlord may reasonably request that
neither Tenant, nor any subtenant, is in violation of the provisions of this
Section 16.01.
As long as Embassy Bank is Tenant, Tenant shall have the privilege, subject to
the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, without the consent of Landlord,
to assign its interest in this Lease (i) to any corporation which is a successor
to Tenant either by merger or consolidation, (ii) to a purchaser of all of
Tenant's assets (provided such purchaser shall have also assumed substantially
all of Tenant's liabilities) or (iii) to a person or entity which shall (1)
Control (2) be
under the Control of, or (3) be under common Control with Tenant (any such
Person referred to in this clause (iii) being a "Related Entity"). As
long as Embassy Bank is Tenant, Tenant shall have the privilege, subject to the
terms and conditions set forth herein, without the consent of Landlord to
sublease all or any portion of the Leased Premises to a Related Entity. Any
assignment or subletting described above may only be made upon the condition
that (a) any such assignee or subtenant shall continue to use the Leased
Premises for the conduct of the same business as Tenant was conducting prior to
such assignment or sublease, (b) the principal purpose of such assignment or
sublease is not the acquisition of Tenant's interest in this Lease or to
circumvent the provisions of this Section 16.02, and (c) in the case of an
assignment, any such assignee shall have a net worth and annual income and cash
flow, determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles,
consistently applied, after giving effect to such assignment, equal to the
greater of Tenant's net worth and annual income and cash flow, as so determined,
on (i) the date immediately preceding the date of such assignment, and (ii) the
Commencement Date. Tenant shall, within ten (10) days after execution thereof,
deliver to Landlord either (x) a duplicate original instrument of assignment in
form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, duly executed by Tenant,
together with an instrument in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
Landlord, duly executed by the assignee, in which such assignee shall assume
observance and performance of, and agree to be personally bound by, all of the
terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease on Tenant's part to be observed
and performed, or (y) a duplicate original sublease in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, duly executed by Tenant and the subtenant.
"Control" or "control" shall mean ownership of more than fifty percent (50%) of
the outstanding voting stock of a corporation or other majority equity and
control interest if not a corporation and the possession of power to direct or
cause the direction of the management and policy of such corporation or other
entity, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by statute or

Notwithstanding any assignment or sublease: (i) Tenant and any guarantor, if

from performing any of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease; (ii)
the assignment or subletting shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions

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

Landlord may either terminate this Lease or may, from time to time, without
terminating this Lease, make such alterations and repairs as may be necessary in
order to relet the Leased Premises and may relet said Leased Premises or any
part thereof for such term or terms (which may be for a term extending beyond

hereunder. If such rent received from such reletting during any month shall be
less than that to be paid during that month by Tenant hereunder, Tenant shall
pay any such deficiency to Landlord. Such deficiency shall be calculated and
paid monthly. No such re-entry or taking possession of said Leased Premises

In the

Premises, for the recovery of rent or any other amount due under the provisions
of this Lease, or because of the default in the performance of any other
covenant herein contained on the part of Tenant to be kept or performed, and a

connection with the preparation and service of such notice.
In the

to Tenant's occupancy or use (including, without limitation, assignments,
subletting or tenant financing) of the Leased Premises, Tenant agrees to
promptly reimburse Landlord, for all fees and expenses (legal, administrative or

any proceedings for non-payment of rent, Minimum Rent or additional rent, Tenant

or permissible, Landlord or Landlord's agent may enter the same by a master key,
or may forcibly enter the same, without rendering Landlord or such agents liable
therefor, and without in any matter affecting the obligations and covenants of
this Lease. Nothing herein contained, however, shall be deemed or construed to
impose upon Landlord any obligation, responsibility or liability whatsoever, for
the care, maintenance or repair of the building or any part thereof, except as
