This Lease is upon the condition that if Tenant shall neglect or fail to perform or observe any of Tenant's covenants and if such neglect or failure shall continue after written notice, in the case of Fixed Minimum Rent or Additional Rent for more than ten (10) days, or in any other case for more than thirty (30) days or such longer time as may be reasonably required to cure because of the nature of the default (provided Tenant must have undertaken procedures to cure the default within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently pursues such effort to completion); or if the leasehold hereby created shall be taken by writ of execution or other process of law, or if a receiver, guardian, conservator, trustee in bankruptcy or similar officer shall be appointed to take charge of all or any part of Tenant's or any guarantor of this Lease property by a court of competent jurisdiction, or if a petition is filed by or against Tenant or said guarantor under any bankruptcy law and the same is not dismissed within ninety (90) days from the date of filing; then, and in any of said events ("Event of Default"), Landlord lawfully may, subject to the notice rights of Tenant hereunder and in the manner provided under Florida law by appropriate legal proceedings, enter into and upon the Premises or any part thereof and repossess the same as of its former estate, and expel Tenant, and those claiming through or under it, and remove its or their effects without being deemed guilty of any manner of trespass, and without prejudice to any remedies which might otherwise be used for arrears of Rent or breach of covenant. No such reentry or taking possession of the Premises by Landlord shall be construed as an election on Landlord's part to terminate this Lease, unless a written notice of such intention to terminate this Lease is given to Tenant or unless termination hereof is decreed by a court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding any such reentry or taking of possession, Landlord may, at any time thereafter, elect to terminate this Lease for any previous default. In the event that Landlord terminates this Lease or repossesses the Premises due to an Event of Default as aforesaid, Tenant shall (i) remain liable for all Rent and other obligations accruing up to the date of such repossession or termination, and (ii) be liable to Landlord for all reasonable costs incurred in connection with the repossession and reletting of the Premises (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney and brokerage fees and any costs in connection with necessary repairs or remodeling to render the Premises suitable for reletting), and (iii) remain liable for the payment of all of the Fixed Minimum Rent and Additional Rent payable hereunder for the balance of the unexpired term of this Lease in effect as of the date of the termination or repossession by Landlord. Any rental which may be due Landlord, as herein provided in this Section 11.1, shall include the monthly rent and any other costs and expenses denominated as additional rentals in this Lease. Landlord may bring suits for such amounts or portions thereof, at any time or times as the same accrue or after the same have accrued, and no suit or recovery of any portion due hereunder shall be deemed a waiver of Landlord's right to collect all amounts to which Landlord is entitled hereunder, nor shall the same serve as any defense to any subsequent suit brought for any amount not theretofore reduced to judgment. In the event the Premises are relet by Landlord, Tenant shall be entitled to a credit against its rental obligations hereunder in the amount of Rents received by Landlord from any such reletting of the Premises less any reasonable costs incurred by Landlord (not previously reimbursed by Tenant) in connection with the repossession and reletting of the Premises (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, brokerage commissions, and any cost of repairs, alterations and improvements to the Premises). In the event of any termination of this Lease or repossession of the Premises by Landlord as aforesaid, Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to relet the Premises. Landlord may relet the Premises for a term or terms which may, at Landlord's option, be equal to or less than or exceed the period which would otherwise have constituted the balance of the term of this Lease. Landlord may grant such concessions and free rent as Landlord deems necessary in connection with any such reletting. Landlord shall not, in any event, be required to pay Tenant any surplus of any sums received by Landlord on a reletting of the Premises in excess of the Rent provided in this Lease, but such excess will reduce any accrued present or future obligations of Tenant hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, to the extent not expressly prohibited by applicable law, in the event of any Event of Default, Landlord may terminate this Lease or Tenant's right to possession and accelerate and declare all Rent reserved for the remainder of the Lease Term to be immediately due and payable; provided the Rent so accelerated shall be discounted in accordance with accepted financial practice at the rate of four percent (4%) per annum to the then present value, and Landlord shall, after receiving payment of the same from Tenant, be obligated to turn over to Tenant any actual net reletting proceeds (net of all costs of reletting) thereafter received during the remainder of the Lease Term, up to the amount so received from Tenant pursuant to this provision. Subject to the notice and cure periods provided herein, Landlord shall have the right to exercise any and all other remedies available to Landlord, in connection with an Event of Default, at law or in equity, including, without limitation, injunctive relief. Except as otherwise set forth herein to the contrary, mention in this Lease of any particular remedy shall not preclude Landlord from any other remedy, in law or in equity. Except as otherwise set forth herein to the contrary, no remedy herein or otherwise conferred upon or reserved to Landlord shall be considered to exclude or suspend 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 to Landlord may be exercised from time to time and as often as any occasion may arise or as may be deemed expedient.
If the Tenant's interest in this Lease be assigned as permitted hereunder, or if the Premises or any part thereof be sublet as permitted hereunder, Landlord may, after default by Tenant, terminate all sublease, concessions or the like or may, at the option of Landlord, collect rent from the assignee or subtenant and apply the net amount collected to the rent due from Tenant. No such collection shall be deemed a waiver of the covenant herein against sale, transfer, mortgage, assignment and subletting or a release of Tenant from the performance of the covenants herein contained. In the event of such default, Tenant hereby assigns the rent due from the subtenant or assignee to Landlord, and hereby authorizes such subtenant or assignee to pay the rent directly to Landlord.
If Tenant fails to make any payment or perform any agreement or obligation on its part to be performed under this Lease, Landlord, in addition to all other remedies available to Landlord, shall have the right (but not the obligation) (i) if no emergency exists, to pay and/or perform the same after giving thirty (30) days' written notice to Tenant (10 days' written notice in the case of a monetary default) or such longer time as may be reasonably required because of the nature of the non-monetary default provided Tenant has commenced to cure within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently pursues such cure to completion; and (ii) in any emergency situation (i.e., a situation imposing imminent danger to persons or property), to perform the same immediately without notice or delay. For the purpose of rectifying Tenant's defaults as aforesaid, Landlord shall have the right to enter the Premises. Tenant shall, within ten (10) days after written demand, reimburse Landlord as Additional Rent for the reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in rectifying Tenant's defaults as aforesaid, including reasonable attorneys' fees and interest at the rate set forth in Section 14.23. Except for the negligence or willful misconduct by Landlord or Landlord's agents, employees, licensees or invitees, Landlord shall not be liable or in any way responsible for any loss, inconvenience, annoyance, or damage resulting to Tenant or anyone holding under Tenant for any action taken by Landlord pursuant to this Section. Any act or thing done by Landlord pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of any such default by Tenant or a waiver of any covenant, term or condition herein contained or the performance thereof.
Section 11.2
Holdover by Tenant
. In the event Tenant remains in possession of the Premises after the termination of this Lease without the written consent of Landlord, Tenant, at the option of Landlord, shall be deemed to be occupying the Premises as a tenant from month to month, at one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Fixed Minimum Rent and at the same Additional Rent payable during the last month of the Lease Term, subject to all the other conditions, provisions and obligations of this Lease, insofar as the same are applicable to a month-to-month tenancy. Nothing in this Section shall be construed to give Tenant the right to hold over after the expiration of this Lease, and Landlord may exercise any and all remedies at law or in equity to recover possession of the Premises.
Section 11.3
Effect of Waivers of Default
. No failure by Landlord or Tenant to insist upon the strict performance of any covenant, agreement, term or condition of this Lease or to exercise any right or remedy consequent upon a breach thereof, and no acceptance by Landlord of full or partial rent during the continuance of any breach by Tenant, shall constitute a waiver of any such breach or of such covenant, agreement, term or condition. No consent or waiver, express or implied, by Landlord or Tenant to or of any breach of any covenant, condition or duty of the other party hereto shall be construed as a consent or waiver to or of any other breach of the same or any other covenant, condition or duty, unless in writing signed by the party against whom it is asserted.
Section 11.4
Landlord's Default
. If Landlord shall violate, neglect or fail to perform or observe any of the representations, covenants, provisions, or conditions contained in this Lease on its part to be performed or observed, which default continues for a period of more than thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice from Tenant specifying such default, or if such default is of a nature to require more than thirty (30) days for remedy and continues beyond the time reasonably necessary to cure (provided Landlord must have undertaken procedures to cure the default within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently pursues such efforts to cure to completion), Tenant may, at its option (in addition to all other rights and remedies provided Tenant at law, in equity or hereunder), upon written notice, incur any reasonable expense necessary to perform the obligation of Landlord specified in such notice and xxxx Landlord for the costs thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if in Tenant's reasonable judgment, an emergency shall exist, Tenant may cure such default without any prior notice to Landlord. Nothing herein shall be construed as requiring Tenant to await the passage of thirty (30) days before seeking equitable relief. The self-help option given in this Section is for the sole protection of Tenant, and its existence shall not release Landlord from its obligation to perform the terms, provisions, covenants and conditions herein provided to be performed by Landlord or deprive Tenant of any legal rights which it may have by reason of any such default by Landlord.
If the Premises or any part thereof are at any time subject to a first mortgage and Tenant is given written notice thereof, including the address of such mortgagee, then Tenant shall give such mortgagee a copy of any notice of default served upon Landlord. Tenant further agrees that such mortgagee shall have the same opportunity to cure any default, and the same time within which to effect such curing, as is available to the Landlord; and if necessary to cure such default, such mortgagee shall have access to the Premises.
ARTICLE 12
INSURANCE
Commencing on the date that Tenant enters upon the Premises and throughout the Lease Term, Tenant, at its own cost, shall provide and cause to be maintained commercial general liability insurance against claims for bodily injury, death or property damage with respect to the Premises, such insurance to afford minimum protection of not less than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) combined single limit coverage per occurrence for bodily injury, death or property damage, with a Five Million Dollar ($5,000,000) increased coverage umbrella policy. Such insurance shall name Landlord as an additional insured.
(a)
During the Lease Term, Tenant shall, at its own cost, maintain at all times an all risk extended coverage policy insuring against any damage to the Improvements. Such insurance shall be in the amount of the full replacement cost of such Improvements, if available, exclusive of the cost of foundations, excavations and footings. Such insurance shall name Landlord and its Mortgagee as their interest may appear.
(b)
During the Lease Term, Tenant, at its expense, shall obtain and maintain insurance covering all of the trade fixtures, equipment, merchandise and personal property from time to time in, on or upon the Premises, in an amount not less than eighty percent (80%) of the full replacement value from time to time during the term of this Lease, providing protection against any peril included within the classification "Fire and Extended Coverage," together with insurance against sprinkler damage, vandalism and malicious mischief, and water damage (from roof leakage, ground water, or otherwise). Tenant agrees to carry such insurance, it being expressly understood and agreed that none of the items to be insured by Tenant hereunder shall be insured by Landlord, nor shall Landlord be required to reinstall, reconstruct or repair any of such items. Such policy shall provide that payments for losses shall be made solely to Tenant.
(c)
During the Lease Term, Tenant and Landlord shall each maintain at their own cost if and to the extent required by law, worker's compensation or similar insurance in form and amounts required by law.
(d)
Tenant shall maintain during the period of the construction of the Improvements, at its expense, a policy of broad form Builder's Risk Insurance providing all-risk coverage with limits of coverage and deductibles to be determined by Tenant in its reasonable discretion.
(e)
If at any time Tenant shall sell or serve alcoholic beverages in, at or from the Premises, Tenant shall at all times during the term hereof at its sole cost and expense maintain in effect a policy or policies of insurance insuring Landlord (as an additional insured) and Tenant against loss, cost, or expense by reason of bodily injury or property damage for which Landlord and/or Tenant may be held liable by or because of the violation of any statute, ordinance or regulation pertaining to the sale, gift, distribution, or use of any alcoholic beverage, by reason of the selling, serving, or giving of any alcoholic beverage to a minor or to a person under the influence of alcohol or which causes or contributes to the intoxication of any person, or as a person or organization engaged in the business of manufacturing, distributing, selling or serving alcoholic beverages, or as an owner or lessor of the premises used for such purposes. The liquor liability insurance shall be written with minimum limits of coverage not less than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) per occurrence.
All insurance provided for in this Article shall be effected under policies issued by insurers which are licensed to do business in the State of Florida and, other than the policies required pursuant to Section 12.1(d), rated A-:VII or a comparable national rating organization. Tenant shall on request provide to Landlord certificates of the policies. Tenant shall provide to Landlord a certificate of insurance of all policies procured by Tenant in compliance with its obligations under this Lease prior to Tenant entering into possession of the Premises and upon request by Landlord at least fifteen (15) days prior to any renewal date of such policies. Neither the issuance of any insurance policy required under this Lease nor the minimum limit specified herein shall be deemed to limit or restrict in any way either party's liability arising under or out of this Lease. In the event that Tenant shall fail to provide the insurance required hereunder, or shall fail to pay the premiums when due, the Landlord shall have the right, upon not less than ten (10) days prior written notice, to cause such insurance to be issued and to pay the reasonable premiums therefor, or any premiums in default, and to immediately collect same together with interest on the amount of such premiums from the date of payment by Landlord until the date of repayment by Tenant at the rate set forth in Section 14.23. All certificates of insurance required to be provided by Tenant hereunder must contain a provision that the company writing the subject policy will give the Landlord at least ten (10) days' notice in writing in advance of any cancellation or lapse or material change in coverage.
Any insurance provided for in this Article to be maintained by Tenant may be effected by a blanket policy or policies of insurance, or under so-called "all risk" or "multi-peril" insurance policies, provided that the amount of the total insurance available shall be at least the protection equivalent to separate policies in the amounts herein required, and provided further that in all other respects, any such policy or policies shall comply with the provisions of this Article. An increased coverage or "umbrella policy" may be provided and utilized by Tenant to increase the coverage provided by individual or blanket policies in lower amounts, and the aggregate liabilities provided by all such policies shall be satisfactory provided they otherwise comply with the provisions of this Article. In any such case, it shall not be necessary for Tenant to deliver the original of any such blanket policy to the Landlord or any Mortgagee, so long as such Landlord is furnished with a copy of the declaration page and a certificate of such policy reasonably acceptable to Landlord and its Mortgagee.
ARTICLE 13
ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
Tenant may not assign this Lease in whole or in part, nor sublet all or any portion of the Premises, without the prior written consent of Landlord in each instance, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. If Tenant shall be in default of this Lease (beyond any applicable notice and grace period), Landlord may, until such default is cured, withhold its consent to any proposed assignment or subletting. In the event that Landlord fails to disapprove the proposed assignment or subletting of the Premises within thirty (30) days from and after the date that Landlord receives Tenant's request to assign or sublet the Premises, then such assignment or subletting of the Premises shall be deemed to have been approved by Landlord without condition. If Tenant requests Landlord's consent to a specific assignment or sublease, Tenant will simultaneously with such requests give Landlord (i) the name and address of the proposed assignee or subtenant, (ii) the terms of the proposed assignment or sublease, and (iii) reasonably satisfactory and complete information about the nature, financial condition, business and business history of the proposed assignee or subtenant, and its proposed initial use of the Premises. 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. If this Lease be assigned, or if the Premises or any part thereof be underlet or occupied by any party other than Tenant, Landlord may collect Rent from the assignee, subtenant 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, subtenant or occupant as Tenant, or a release of Tenant from the further performance by Tenant of the covenants on the part of Tenant herein contained. This prohibition against assignment or subletting shall be construed to include prohibition against any assignment or subleasing by operation of law. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord within twenty (20) days after any assignment or subletting a copy of the executed assignment or sublease agreement. Any assignment or sublease shall provide that the assignee or subtenant shall comply with all applicable terms and conditions of this Lease to be performed by Tenant hereunder. Notwithstanding any assignment or sublease, Tenant shall remain fully liable on this Lease and shall not be released from performing any of the terms, covenants and conditions hereof or any Rent or other sums to be paid hereunder.
If the Tenant is a corporation whose shares are not publicly traded or is a partnership, if there shall be any change in the ownership of and/or power to vote the controlling interest of Tenant, whether such change of ownership is by sale, assignment, bequest, inheritance, operation of law or otherwise, same shall constitute an assignment of this Lease subject to Landlord's consent as above provided. The provisions of this Section shall not apply whenever Tenant or a corporation that owns a majority of the stock or ownership interest in Tenant is a corporation or other entity the outstanding voting stock of which is listed on a recognized stock exchange.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may, without the approval of Landlord, but with notice to Landlord, assign this Lease, or sublease the Premises, in whole or in part, to: (a) any corporation which has the power to direct Tenant's management and operation, or any corporation whose management and operation is controlled by Tenant or Tenant's parent entity; or (b) any corporation a majority of whose voting stock is directly or indirectly owned by Tenant; or (c) any corporation in which or with which Tenant or Tenant's parent entity, its corporate successors or assigns, is merged or consolidated, in accordance with applicable statutory provisions for merger or consolidation of corporations, so long as the liabilities of the corporations participating in such merger or consolidation are assumed by the corporation surviving such merger or created by such consolidation; or (d) any entity acquiring this Lease and all or substantially all of Tenant's assets; any other party or entity so long as the Premises shall continue to be used primarily as a Federal or State Chartered savings and loan association, savings bank or bank, provided that such savings and loan association, savings bank or bank has a tangible net worth of at least Ten Million Dollars.

Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment.
(a)
On or before twenty (20) days from the date Landlord acquires the Land, Landlord covenants to obtain from each lender the security for whose loan encumbers the Premises (and each lessor, if any, whose interest in the Premises is paramount to Landlord's ("Overlessor")) at the time of execution hereof, an executed nondisturbance agreement assuring Tenant that, notwithstanding any default by Landlord to the lender or Overlessor or any foreclosure or deed in lieu thereof (or Overlessor's termination proceedings), Tenant's rights under this Lease shall continue in full force and effect and its possession of the Premises shall remain undisturbed (including, without limitation, permission for insurance proceeds and eminent domain awards to be applied as required hereunder), except in accordance with the provisions of this Lease, so long as Tenant is not in default hereunder beyond any applicable notice and cure period so as to permit Lease termination. Such agreement(s) shall be substantially in form and content reasonably acceptable to the lender, Tenant and the Overlessor, provided such agreements grant Tenant the protections contemplated hereby. If Landlord breaches its obligation(s) hereunder Tenant may, as its sole remedy terminate this Lease by written notice to Landlord prior to Tenant commencing any construction or site work at the Premises.
(b)
Tenant shall from time to time, within twenty (20) days after receipt of Landlord's written request, subordinate this Lease to any mortgage lien hereafter placed by Landlord upon the Premises, with any Mortgagee, provided that such lender executes a nondisturbance agreement, in form reasonably acceptable to Tenant, providing that if Tenant is not then in default under this Lease, this Lease shall not terminate as a result of the foreclosure of such lien, or conveyance in lieu thereof, and Tenant's rights under this Lease shall continue in full force and effect and its possession shall be undisturbed (including, without limitation, permission for insurance proceeds and eminent domain awards to be applied as required hereunder), except in accordance with the provisions of this Lease. Tenant will, upon request of the lienholder, be a party to such subordination and nondisturbance agreement, and such agreement shall provide that, if such lienholder succeeds to the interest of Landlord, Tenant will recognize said lienholder (or successor in interest of the lienholder) as its landlord under the terms of this Lease so long as such lienholder agrees in writing to assume all of "Landlord's" obligations hereunder from and after the date upon which such lienholder succeeds to the interest of Landlord hereunder, provided that such lienholder shall not be: (a) liable for any warranty, act or omission of any prior landlord (including Landlord); or (b) subject to any offsets or defense which Tenant might have against any prior landlord (including Landlord); or (c) bound by any rent or additional rent which Tenant might have paid for more than the current month to any prior landlord (including Landlord); or (d) bound by any amendment or modification of the Lease or any collateral agreement made without such lienholder's consent.

Section 14.15
No Express or Implied Covenant of Continuous Operation
. Except for Tenant's obligation to open a fully fixtured and staffed bank for business to the public for a period of at least one (1) day on or before the Completion Date (subject to excusable delays as set forth in Section 14.10), nothing else set forth in this Lease shall be construed, in any manner whatsoever, as an implied covenant of continuous operation on the part of Tenant, and Landlord specifically acknowledges that there is no other covenant of continuous operation on the part of Tenant, express or implied. In the event that Tenant shall cease to occupy and conduct business in the Premises, such closing shall not be deemed to be an event of default hereunder, nor shall such closing relieve Tenant of any of its liabilities or obligations under this Lease. If Tenant closes its business in the Premises (other than an "Exempted Discontinuance" of operations as hereinafter defined) for six (6) or more consecutive months, then Landlord shall have the right to "recapture" the Premises and terminate this Lease by giving Tenant not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice (the "Recapture Notice"), which Recapture Notice may be given at any time prior to the Premises being reopened for business to the public. In the event that Landlord elects to recapture the Premises and terminate this Lease as aforesaid, Landlord shall pay to Tenant, upon such recapture, an amount equal to the unamortized portion (as of the date of such recapture) of the total sums expended by Tenant for then existing permanent Improvements to the Land, with amortization to be on a straight-line basis over ten (10) years (or such shorter period of time over which Tenant is depreciating such costs on its books and records). Upon request, Tenant shall provide Landlord with the total sums expended by Tenant in the construction of permanent Improvements to the Land together with such other evidence of such costs as may be reasonably requested by Landlord.
The following shall constitute an Exempted Discontinuance of business operations: (i) any discontinuance occasioned by restoration work or by an event of unavoidable delay (as defined in Section 14.10 of this Lease); (ii) the temporary cessation of business operations in connection with an assignment or sublet (provided that the assignee or subtenant commences business operations within six (6) months after execution of the assignment or sublease (as the case may be); (iii) a temporary discontinuance in connection with alterations or remodeling (not to exceed six months); or (iv) the temporary cessation of business operations on state or federal holidays.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may notify Landlord at any time within fifteen (15) days after receipt of Landlord's Recapture Notice that (a) Tenant intends to resume banking operations, or (b) Tenant is in negotiation with another party for an assignment of this Lease or a sublease of the Premises pursuant to a binding or non-binding letter of intent signed by Tenant and the proposed assignee or sublessee and Tenant provides Landlord with a copy of said letter of intent (the "Withdrawal Notice"). If Tenant so notifies Landlord, and if within ninety (90) days thereafter Tenant either resumes business operations or enters into such assignment or sublease, then Landlord's notice of termination shall automatically become void and of no force or effect (a "Withdrawal Event"). If a Withdrawal Event does not timely occur, this Lease shall terminate on the later of (a) the termination date set forth in Landlord's Recapture Notice or (b) the ninety-first (91st) day after Tenant's Withdrawal Notice.

Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, in accordance with applicable law and the Underlying Documents, shall be entitled to erect a directional entry sign on the Adjacent Parcel in a location approved by Landlord adjacent to the Xxxxxxx Road curb cut to the Adjacent Parcel ("Tenant's Directional Sign"). Landlord shall grant Tenant a sign easement during the term of this Lease for the installation of Tenant's Directional Sign on the Adjacent Parcel.
If applicable law permits the installation of one (1) free standing monument or pylon signs on the Land and one (1) free standing monument or pylon sign on the Adjacent Parcel, then Tenant at its expense shall have the right to install its free standing monument or pylon sign on the Land. If applicable law permits the installation of only one (1) free standing monument or pylon sign on the Land and Adjacent Parcel, then Tenant shall design and install a free standing monument or pylon sign on the Land in a design and location approved by Landlord, which free standing sign shall provide for the display of two (2) tenant signs thereon of equal size (the "Shared Monument Sign"). In such event, Tenant's panel sign shall occupy the top half of the Shared Monument Sign, and Landlord shall reimburse Tenant an amount equal to one-half (1/2) of the cost incurred by Tenant to purchase and install the Shared Monument Sign.

The foregoing limitation shall not apply to or limit any injunctive or other equitable, declaratory or other non-monetary relief to which Tenant may be entitled.
Section 14.28

2.
Term and Renewal Options. The term of the Lease is for twenty (20) years. When the exact commencement and termination dates of the initial term of the Lease are determined, the parties agree to execute a recordable supplement to this Memorandum which will set forth such dates.

3.
Liens. Tenant shall never, under any circumstances, have the power to subject the interest of Landlord in the Premises to any mechanics' or materialmen's liens of any kind.
Neither Tenant nor anyone claiming by, through or under Tenant, including, but not limited to, contractors, subcontractors, materialmen, mechanics and laborers, shall have any right to file or place any mechanics' or materialmen's liens of any kind whatsoever upon the Premises or improvements thereon, any such liens are hereby specifically prohibited. All parties with whom Tenant may deal are put on notice that Tenant has no power to subject Landlord's interest to any mechanics' or materialmen's lien of any kind or character, and all such persons so dealing with Tenant must look solely to the credit of Tenant, and not to Landlord's interest or assets.
4.
Tenant's Exclusive. Landlord covenants and agrees that so long as the Premises has not ceased to be used for a bank for a continuous period in excess of one hundred eighty (180) days (excepting any periods during which remodeling or restoration work is being conducted with due diligence or Tenant is prevented from operating due to a force majeure), not to permit or suffer any other occupant of the Adjacent Parcel to: (i) operate a drive-thru banking facility, (ii) operate an ATM, provided, however, this restriction shall not prohibit the operation of an ATM by any other occupant of the Adjacent Parcel so long as such ATM is located inside such other occupant's premises and shall not prohibit the operation of an ATM that is installed in the storefront of a supermarket, or (iii) operate a bank, savings bank or savings and loan association. The provisions of this Section shall not prohibit the operation of a stock brokerage office, a mutual fund office, mortgage brokerage, title insurance-escrow services company or an insurance office. In the event Landlord sells the Adjacent Parcel to a party that is not also acquiring the Premises, then simultaneous with such conveyance Landlord agrees to record in the Public Records of Brevard County, Florida a restrictive covenant against the Adjacent Parcel which contains the exclusive use restriction set forth in this Section.
5.
