imposition and shall give Landlord written notice such fact. Tenant shall not be

the time any action is taken to declare a forfeiture for nonpayment thereof. Any

cooperate therein, but without expense to Landlord. Tenant shall be entitled to
any refund of any taxes or other impositions which have been paid by or on

ARTICLE VIII
LIENS
8.1 Tenant shall neither suffer nor permit any mechanic's liens to be
filed against the title to the Leased Land nor against Tenant's title to the
Leasehold Estate hereby created by reason of work, labor, services or materials
supplied or claimed to have been supplied to Tenant or anyone having a right to
possession of such property or Building or any part thereof as a result of an
agreement with or the assent of Tenant. If any such mechanic's lien shall at any
time be filed, Tenant shall either (i) cause the same to be discharged of record
within ninety (90) days after the date Tenant has actual knowledge of such
filing or (ii) provide Landlord with surety in form or amount reasonably
satisfactory to Landlord or (iii) proceed to contest the same as hereafter

period or take the other steps referred to above, then in addition to any other
right or remedy of Landlord, Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to,
discharge the same either by paying the amount claimed to be due or by procuring
the discharge of such lien by deposit in court or bonding, and in any such event
Landlord shall be entitled, if it so elects, to compel the prosecution of an
action for the foreclosure of such mechanic's lien by the lienor and to pay the
amount of the judgment, if any, in favor of the lienor with interest, costs and
allowances. In such event Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all sums so
expended within ten (10) days after demand has been made therefor. However,
Tenant shall not be required to pay or
12
discharge any such mechanic's lien and Landlord shall not be entitled to pursue
any remedies hereunder, and no default shall be created so long as Tenant shall
in good faith proceed to contest the same by appropriate proceedings; provided,
however, that Tenant shall give notice in writing to Landlord of its intention
to contest the validity of such lien and shall indemnify Landlord against any
loss, cost or expense in connection with such contest.
8.2 Tenant hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold Landlord harmless
from and against all loss, cost or expense arising from any mechanic's lien
claims which may be filed against the Leased Land or any Building or improvement
thereon arising from acts of Tenant.

repairing, restoration or demolition and any insurance proceeds not used for
such purpose shall be paid to Tenant.
9.2 No damage or destruction to the Building or any other improvements

ARTICLE XII
CONDEMNATION
12.1 In the event that all or any part of the Leased Land or any
Buildings thereon or any interest therein shall be taken or damaged by the
exercise of the power of eminent domain (including any temporary taking for
governmental occupancy which extends beyond the term of this Lease), then
(whether or not this Lease shall terminate by operation of law upon such
exercise of the power of eminent domain):
(a) The amount of damages resulting to Landlord and Tenant,
respectively, and to the respective interests of Landlord and Tenant in and
to the Leased Land and in, to and in connection with this Lease or any
Building on the Leased Land, by reason of such exercise of the power of
eminent domain, shall be separately determined and computed by the court
having jurisdiction and separate awards and judgments with respect to such
damages to Landlord and Tenant respectively, and to each of such respective
interest shall be made and entered.
(b) In the event that such court or jury shall make a single award
without separately determining the respective interests of Landlord and
Tenant, and if Landlord and Tenant shall not agree in writing as to their
respective portions of such award within twenty (20) days after the date of
the final determination by such court or jury of the amount thereof,
Landlord and Tenant agree to submit the matter to such court on stipulation
for the purpose of a judgement determinative of their respective shares.
(c) If for any reason the trial judge refuses to permit adjudication
of the respective interests of Landlord and Tenant, then such respective
interests shall be determined in a
15
separate action instituted by Landlord or Tenant to determine the amount to
which each is entitled.
(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article, it is agreed
between Landlord and Tenant that Tenant shall be entitled to all portions
of the award allocable to the Building and other improvements and all
portions of the award allocated to the Leased Land shall be divided between
Landlord and Tenant as their interests may appear. If, for any reason,
Landlord receives or is awarded the entire award for such Building or other
improvements or a share not based on a prior agreement between Landlord and
Tenant as to their respective amounts or not based on a judicial
determination of the respective shares based on the provisions of this
Lease, Landlord shall immediately upon receipt of such award deposit the
same in an escrow with a financial institution as escrowee under an escrow
agreement containing provisions consistent with the relevant provisions of
this Lease, and upon adjudication of the property shares of Landlord and
Tenant pursuant to this lease, the escrowee shall pay to Tenant the amount
to which it is entitled.
12.2 In the event that all the Leased Land, or such portion thereof as
shall make the balance of the Leased Land not, in Tenant's opinion, which
opinion shall be exercised in good faith by Tenant based on reasonably prudent
business judgment under the circumstances then existing, reasonably capable of
restoration to an economically sound unit (taking into consideration the rent
payable under this Lease), shall be taken by the exercise of the power of
eminent domain or by agreement between Landlord, Tenant and those authorized to
exercise such power, or if this Lease is terminated by operation of law as a
result of the exercise of such power of eminent domain, all rent, and additional
rent and other sums or sums of money and other charges provided to be paid by
Tenant shall be apportioned and paid to the date of such taking and this Lease
shall terminate as of
16
such date. If the foregoing sentence is not applicable to any taking pursuant to
the exercise of the power of eminent domain:
(a) Rent (but not any other charges provided to be paid by Tenant,
which shall continue without change) shall be apportioned and paid to the
date of such taking.
(b) After the date of taking, this Lease shall continue in full force
and effect without any modification, except that the monthly rental payable
by Tenant shall be equitably reduced in the proportion that the portion of
the area of Leased Land taken bears to the total area of the Leased Land
prior to the taking.
12.3 In the event that all or any part of the Leased Land or any
Building thereon shall be taken by the exercise of the right of eminent domain
for governmental occupancy for a temporary period:
(a) This Lease shall not terminate and Tenant shall continue to
perform and observe all of its obligations hereunder as though such
temporary taking had not occurred except only to the extent that it may be
prevented from so doing by the terms of the order of the authority which
made the taking.
(b) In the event such taking for governmental occupancy is for a
period entirely within the term of this Lease, then any award made shall be
paid to Tenant.
(c) If the period of governmental occupancy extends beyond the
termination of the term of this Lease, then any award shall be apportioned
between Landlord and Tenant as of the date of such termination.
12.4 The provisions of this Article XII shall survive the termination
of this Lease and shall constitute a separate contract between Landlord and
Tenant in regard to their respective rights in and to the proceeds of any
condemnation award.

conditions and agreements of this Lease on the part of Tenant to be performed,
and the continuance of such failure for a period of twenty (20) days after

conditions and agreements) from Landlord to Tenant unless, with respect to any
default which cannot be cured within twenty (20) days, Tenant, or any person
holding by, through or under Tenant in good faith, promptly after receipt of

ARTICLE XIV
LANDLORD'S REMEDIES
14.1 Landlord may treat, at its option, any one or more of the Events
of Default as a breach of this Lease and thereupon by serving written notice to
Tenant Landlord shall have, in addition to all other remedies provided by law,
one or more of the following remedies:
14.2 Landlord may terminate Tenant's right of possession and may
repossess the Leased Land by forcible entry and detainer suit or otherwise,
without demand or notice of any kind to Tenant (except for such notice expressly
provided for in this Lease) and without terminating this Lease, in which event
Landlord may, but shall be under no obligation to do so, relet all or any part
of such Leased Land for such rent and upon such terms as shall be satisfactory
to Landlord. If the Leased Land is not relet, or if the Leased Land is relet and
a sufficient sum shall not be realized from such reletting after paying all of
the costs and expenses of such reletting and the collection of the rent accruing
therefrom, to satisfy the rent above provided to be paid, then Tenant shall pay
to Landlord as damages a sum equal to the then value as discounted of the rent
reserved in this Lease for such period or periods, or, if the Leased Land has
been relet, Tenant shall satisfy and pay any such deficiency upon demand
therefor from time to time; and Landlord may file suit to recover any sums
falling due under the terms of this Paragraph 14.2 from time to time. Any suit
or recovery of any
19
portion less than the entire amount due Landlord hereunder shall be no defense
to any subsequent action brought for any amount not theretofore reduced to
judgment in favor of Landlord.
14.3 In the event of any breach or threatened breach by Tenant of any
of the terms, covenants, agreements, provisions or conditions contained in this
Lease, Landlord shall be entitled to enjoin such breach or threatened breach and
shall have the right to invoke any right and remedy allowed at law or in equity
or by statute or otherwise as though re-entry, summary proceedings, and other
remedies were not provided for in this Lease.
14.4 Upon the termination of this Lease due to an Event of Default

FIRST AMENDMENT TO LEASE
THIS FIRST AMENDMENT TO LEASE (the "Agreement") is made and entered into this
29th day of December 1995, by and between the Estate of Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxxxx and
Grace Xxx Xxxxxxxxxx, doing business as Xxxxxxxx & Cumberland Shopping Center

Fairfield Savings and Loan Association ("Tenant").
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, Landlord's predecessor in interest and Tenant's predecessor in interest
have previously entered into a lease agreement dated April 29, 1976 (the
"Lease"), for the use and occupancy of certain land by Tenant (the "Leased
Land") as more particularly described in the Lease, located at 0000 Xxxx
Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx; and
WHEREAS, Landlord and Tenant do hereby intend to amend and modify the Lease as
hereinafter set forth.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and conditions
contained herein, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged,
the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Extended Term. The Term of the Lease shall be extended for a term of ten
(10) years (the "Extended Term") commencing upon May 1, 1996 (the "Extended
Term Commencement Date") and continuing through April 30, 2006.
2. Rental. The annual rental for the Leased Land is hereby increased to
Forty-Three Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($43,000.00), payable in advance in
equal monthly installments of $3,583.33, for a term commencing May 1, 1996
and terminating April 30, 2001 and an annual rental of Fifth Thousand and
No/100 Dollars ($50,000.00) payable in advance in equal monthly
installments of $4,166.67 commencing on May 1, 2001 and terminating April
30, 2006. Additionally, the annual rental for years six (6) through ten
(10) of the Extended Term shall be adjusted, commencing on May 1, 2001, by
the "CPI" index as provided hereinafter.
The May 1, 2001 adjustment shall be based on the percentage difference
between the Price Index (as defined hereinafter) for the month of March,
2001 and the Price Index for the Base Year, which for the purposes of this
Agreement is defined as October, 1995. The annual rental shall be adjusted
as set forth hereinabove by adding to the annual rental the sum resulting
from multiplying the annual rental payable for years six (6) through ten

32
The resulting new annual rental, which in each instance shall in no event
be less than Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00), shall be payable in equal
monthly installments as set forth hereinabove.
In the event the CPI is discontinued, comparable statistics on the
purchasing power of the consumer dollar, as published at the time of said
discontinuance, by a responsible financial periodical of recognized
authority, shall be used for making such computation.
3. Option to Renew. So long as the Lease is in full force and effect and
Tenant either at the time of exercising the Option to Renew described in
this Paragraph or at the time of the commencement of the following
described Option Period is not in default under the Lease either at the
time of the exercise of the Option to Renew described in this Paragraph or
at the time of the commencement of each of the following described Option
Periods:
Tenant is hereby granted an option to renew the Lease (the "Option to
Renew") for two (2) successive renewal terms (the "Option Periods"), each
commencing upon the day next following the expiration of the then current
Lease Term. The Option Periods shall each be for a term of five (5) years.
The terms of the Lease during the Option Period shall be the same as during
the current Lease period except as provided below. The Option to Renew must
be exercised no less than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the
expiration of the Lease by written notice to Landlord sent by registered or
certified mail, return receipt requested. In the event Tenant fails to

Section 2 of this Agreement. The annual rental shall be adjusted on May 1,
2006 and May 1, 2011, and such adjustments shall be based on the percentage
difference between the Price Index for the months of March, 2006 and March,
2011, respectively, and the Price Index for the Base Year. In no event
shall the annual rental during any Option period decrease below Fifty
Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($50,000.00).
