any act or omission of Lessee or any concessionaire or subtenant or their
respective licensees, servants, agents, employees or contractors, and from and
against any and all costs, expenses and liability incurred in connection with
any such claim or proceeding brought thereon, except to the extent such claims

such evidence.
18. DAMAGE TO PREMISES
a. Should the Demised Premises, (or any part thereof), be damaged or destroyed
by fire or other casualty insured under the standard fire and casualty insurance
policy with approved standard extended coverage endorsement applicable to the
Demised Premises, Lessor shall, except as otherwise provided herein, and to the
extent it recovers proceeds from such insurance, repair and/or rebuild the same
with reasonable diligence. Lessor's obligation hereunder shall be limited to the
building and improvements originally provided by Lessor when the Demised
Premises were originally constructed and the insurance carried by Lessor shall
be held in trust by Lessor for such purposes. Lessor shall not be obligated to
repair, rebuild or replace any property belonging to Lessee or any improvements
to the Demised Premises furnished by Lessee. Unless this lease is terminated by
Lessor as hereinafter provided, Lessee shall, at its cost and expense, repair,
restore, redecorate and refixture the Demised Premises and restock the contents

on thirty (30) days notice to Lessee, given within ninety (90) days after the
occurrence of any damage or destruction if:
(1) The Demised Premises be damaged or destroyed as a result of a risk
which is not covered by the Lessor's insurance, or;
(2) The Demised Premises be damaged and the cost to repair the same shall be
more than the cost of replacement thereof, and there be insufficient insurance
proceeds to cover said costs.
19. EMINENT DOMAIN
a. If the whole of the Demised Premises, or such portion thereof as to render
the remainder unsuitable for the purposes for which the Demised Premises were
leased, be taken or condemned for any public or quasi-public use or purposes by
any competent authority in appropriation proceedings or by any right of eminent
domain, then this lease shall cease and terminate from the time possession
thereof is required for public use. Any dispute under the provisions of this
paragraph shall be submitted to the American Arbitration Association in
accordance with its procedures at such time, which determination shall be
binding upon the parties hereto.
b. If any part of the Demised Premises shall be so taken and this lease shall
not terminated under the provisions of Section "A" above, then Lessor, at it's
own expense, shall repair and restore the portion not affected by the taking,

proportionately adjusted. The repair and restoration work of Lessor shall not,
however, exceed the scope of the work required to be done by Lessor in
originally constructing Lessee's Demised Premises.
c. All compensation awarded or paid upon such a total or partial taking shall
belong to and be the property of Lessor without participation by Lessee and
without any deduction therefrom for
any present or future estate of Lessee. Lessee shall, however, be entitled to
claim, prove and receive in such condemnation proceedings, such award as may be
allowed for loss of business and for fixtures and other equipment installed by
Lessee, provided that not such claim of Lessee shall diminish or otherwise
adversely affect Lessor's award or the award of any and all ground and
underlying lessors and mortgagees.
20. BANKRUPTCY
In the event the premises or any rights therein shall be levied on by execution
or other process of law by a creditor of either party, or if either party shall
be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or if any receiver shall be appointed for the
business and property of either party, or if any assignment shall be made of
either party's property for the benefit of creditors, thereby diminishing any
right or privilege granted by this Lease to the other party, then the other
party may terminated this Lease forthwith. The above-mentioned termination
shall, in no way, affect the right of Lessor to proceed to enforce provisions of
this lease in heading #26, DEFAULT BY TENANT, paragraphs a, b, and c.
21. FORCE MAJEURE
In the event that either party hereto shall be delayed or hindered in or
prevented from the performance of any act required hereunder by reason of

power failure, riots, insurrection, war, fire, or acts of God, or by reason of
any cause beyond the exclusive and reasonable control of the party delayed in
performing work or doing acts required under the terms of this lease, then
performance of such act shall be excused for the period of the delay and the
period for the performances of any such act shall be extended for a period
equivalent to the period of such delay. The provisions of this clause shall not
operate to excuse. Lessee from prompt payment of Rent, or any other payments

insured or others to recover under such policies is not affected by this
release. This release is a limited one, and in no way, changes or affects any
other indemnification obligations pursuant to Item #16, LESSEE INSURANCE
paragraphs 1, 2, and 3 of this lease instrument, except as stated herein.

negotiations and discussions between them regarding the terms of this lease but

constitutes the complete and final agreement of Lessor and Lessee and sets forth
all the covenants, promises, agreements, conditions, inducements,
representations and understanding between Lessor and Lessee concerning the
Demised Premises or the Bank Building. Lessee warrants and represents that there
are no covenants, promises, agreements, conditions, inducements,
representations, or understanding, either oral or written, between them, or any
agent of either of them, other than as are expressly herein set forth, and the
Lessee does not and shall not have any right to rely upon any covenant, promise,
agreement, condition, inducement, representation or understanding, either oral
or written, which is not expressly set forth herein. Lessee acknowledges and
understands that the representative(s) of Lessor who execute this lease are
relying on the representations and warranties herein set forth. Except as herein
otherwise expressly provided, no subsequent alteration, amendment, change or
addition to this lease shall be legally binding upon Lessor or Lessee unless
reduced to writing and signed by them. In the event any such subsequent
alteration, amendment, change or addition to this lease is executed by a
representative of Lessor other than the representative(s) executing this lease,
Lessee shall have the duty to determine and confirm the authority of the person
executing said subsequent writing. Lessee's failure to so determine and confirm
the authority will preclude it from asserting any claim that said person had
said authority (in the absence of actual authority).

The person executing and delivering this lease on behalf of Lessee hereby
covenants and warrants that such person is duly authorized to execute and
deliver the Lease on behalf of Lessee.

any other bona fide offer to purchase received by the Lessor.
43. SHORT FORM LEASE FOR RECORDING
The Lessor and the Lessee, upon written request of the other, shall at any time
join in the execution of a written Memorandum of Lease in proper form for
recording or filing in the appropriate office in Ohio County, West Virginia,
setting forth the existence and the term of the Lease Agreement, and the Lessor
and Lessee shall each take such action as may be necessary to permit such
recordation or filing.
44. ASSIGNMENT
The Lessee shall not assign this Lease nor sublet the demised premises or any
part thereof without the written consent of the Lessor, which consent shall not
be unreasonably withheld, except, however, that the Lessee may assign this Lease
upon condition that such assignment is to a successor corporation or one with
which the Lessee shall be merged or consolidated, in which event, neither the
assignment nor the acceptance of rent by the Lessor from such assignee or
sub-lessee, shall relieve or release nor in any manner void the liability of the
Lessee herein provided. In the event of any such assignment or sub-lease, the
assignee or sub-lessee shall assume and agree to keep and perform all of the
terms, covenants, and agreements of this Lease on the part of the Lessee to be
kept and performed, and shall become jointly and severally liable for the
non-performance thereof.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Lessor and Lessee have caused this lease to be signed
