Upon any default of Tenant as described in Section 28.1, Landlord shall also have the right, at its option, in addition to and not in limitation of any other right or remedy if the Lease Term shall not have commenced, to cancel this Lease by notice to Tenant, or, if the Lease Term shall have commenced, to serve upon Tenant a written notice that this Lease and the Lease Term will terminate on a date specified therein, which date shall be not less than three (3) days after the serving of such notice, and, upon the date so specified, this Lease and the Lease Term shall terminate and expire as fully and completely as if such date

Any such liquidated damages shall be paid in monthly installments by Tenant on the day specified in this Lease for the collection of Minimum Rent, any suit brought to collect the amount of the deficiency for any month shall not prejudice in any way the rights of Landlord to collect the deficiency for any subsequent month by a similar proceeding, or, at Landlord’s option, and if permitted by law, Tenant shall pay such deficiency on either of the accelerated bases as hereinafter set forth. In computing such liquidated damages there shall be added to such deficiency all expenses that Landlord may incur in connection with reletting, such as attorneys’ fees and disbursements, brokerage and expenses of placing and keeping the Leased Premises in good order or of preparing the same for reletting as hereinafter provided and Landlord’s costs of performing its covenants under the new lease of the Leased Premises to the extent that the same are greater than Landlord’s duties hereunder. Landlord, at Landlord’s option, may make such alterations, repairs, replacements or decorations in the Premises as Landlord in Landlord’s sole judgment considers advisable and necessary for the purpose of reletting the Premises; and the making of such alterations, repairs, replacements or decorations shall not operate or be construed to release Tenant from liability hereunder. Unless otherwise required by law, Landlord shall in no event be liable in any way whatsoever for failure to relet the Premises, or, in the event that the Premises are relet, for failure to collect the rent thereof under such reletting nor shall the refusal or failure of Landlord to relet the Leased Premises or any part or parts thereof release or affect Tenant’s liability for damages. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in the event that this Lease is terminated pursuant to the provisions of this Lease, Landlord may recover from Tenant all damages it may sustain by reason of Tenant’s default, including the cost of recovering the Leased Premises and attorneys’ fees, and, upon so electing and in lieu of the damages that might otherwise be recoverable under this

Section or Section 28.3, Landlord shall be entitled to recover from Tenant, as and for Landlord’s damages, an amount equal to the total Minimum Rent and projected additional rent and charges for the entire remaining term of the Lease agreement of the parties. Said amount shall be due and payable in full upon the Tenant’s breach of this Lease agreement. Tenant specifically acknowledges that Landlord shall have no obligation to mitigate the damages provided for in the foregoing portion of this paragraph, by reletting the premises or otherwise. Landlord and Tenant specifically acknowledge that this remedy is a provision for liquidated damages and is not a penalty, that the damages which Landlord is likely to suffer should Tenant breach this Lease agreement are impossible to calculate at the time this agreement is executed, and the parties have specifically negotiated this portion of the agreement. If, for any reason, it is determined that Landlord cannot collect the damages provided for in the immediately foregoing portion of this paragraph then Landlord shall be entitled to recover from Tenant, as and for Landlord’s damages, an amount equal to the difference between the Minimum Rent and additional rent reserved under this Lease for the period which otherwise would have constituted the balance of the Lease Term and the then present rental value of the Leased Premises for such period, without discount to present worth, all of which shall immediately be due and payable by Tenant to Landlord.

Section 28.3 Other Legal Remedies. Each right and remedy of Landlord provided for in this Lease shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other right and remedy provided for in this Lease or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, and the exercise or beginning of the exercise by Landlord of any one or more of the rights or remedies provided for in this Lease or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by Landlord of any or all other rights or remedies provided for in this Lease or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise. Further, nothing herein contained shall be construed as limiting or precluding the recovery by Landlord against Tenant of any sums or damages to which, in addition to or in lieu of the damages particularly provided for in Section 28.2 and otherwise herein, Landlord may lawfully be entitled at the time when such damages are to be proved, by reason of any default hereunder on the part of the Tenant.

Section 28.4 Waiver of Trial by Jury and Counterclaim. Landlord and Tenant hereby waive trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim brought by either against the other upon any matters whatsoever arising out of or in any way connected with this Lease, Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises, or any claim of injury or damage. It is further mutually agreed that in the event Landlord commences any summary proceedings for nonpayment of Minimum Rent or additional rent, Tenant will not interpose any counterclaim or offset of whatever nature or description in any such proceeding. It is specifically agreed that in the event that Landlord commences any judicial proceeding against Tenant, including a proceeding for nonpayment of Minimum Rent or additional rent, Tenant will not interpose any defense, counterclaim or offset of whatever nature or description. Nor will Tenant raise any defense of waiver or challenge the jurisdiction of the Court hearing any proceeding on the basis of the receipt by Landlord of any rent at any time including receipt subsequent to receipt of notice of

termination, termination or claimed termination of the Lease by the Landlord and prior to commencement of judicial proceedings. The parties specifically agree that receipt of rent shall under no circumstances give rise to a month to month tenancy.

Section 28.5 Holding Over. If Tenant remains in possession of the Leased Premises after the expiration of the term of this Lease, Tenant, at Landlord’s election, may be deemed to be occupying the Leased Premises as a tenant from month-to-month, at a monthly rental equal to 150% of the sum of (i) the monthly installment of Minimum Rent payable during the last month of the Lease Term, plus (ii) 1/12 of one hundred and twenty-five (125%) percent of Common Charges and Real Estate Taxes payable during the last year of the term. Such tenancy shall be subject to all of the other terms, provisions, conditions and obligations of this Lease insofar as they may be applicable to a month-to-month tenancy.

Section 28.6 Waiver of Redemption. To the extent permitted by law, Tenant hereby expressly waives any and all rights of redemption granted by or under any present or future laws in the event of Tenant being evicted or dispossessed for any cause, or in the event of Landlord obtaining possession of the Leased Premises, by reason of the violation by Tenant of any of the covenants or conditions of this Lease.

Section 28.7 Late Payments. In addition to any other remedies available to Landlord hereunder, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a bookkeeping and processing charge equal to the greater of (i) 5% of any delinquent payment of Minimum Rent or additional rent or (ii) One Hundred Dollars ($100), when any such Minimum Rent or additional rent is paid more than ten (10) days after the due date thereof. Such payment shall be for the purpose of defraying the extra expense involved in processing, collecting and/or handling delinquent payments and shall be payable by Tenant to Landlord upon demand. Tenant also shall pay interest, at the annual rate of 15% or the highest rate allowed by law, whichever is less, on payments which are delinquent by more than ten (10) days and shall pay all attorneys’ fees incurred by Landlord in the collection of past due rents with interest at the aforesaid rate.

Said waiver shall include, but not be limited to, claims for damage to person or property resulting from any equipment or appurtenance out of repair, defective electrical, heating, air conditioning, plumbing, sewer, water system or installations or from the operation of said equipment or installation, or damage by fire, steam, broken glass, ice, water, snow, gas entering the Leased Premises or for the acts, omissions or negligence of trespassers or other occupants of the Shopping Center.

Section 29.2 Definition of Landlord. The term “Landlord” as used in this Lease means only the owner or the

mortgagee in possession, for the time being, of the building in which the Leased Premises are located so that, in the event of any sale of such building, Landlord shall be and hereby is entirely freed and relieved of all obligations of Landlord hereunder arising after the date of transfer and it shall be deemed without further agreement between the parties and such purchaser that the purchaser has assumed and agreed to observe and perform all obligations of Landlord hereunder arising after the date of transfer.

Section 29.3 Non-recourse to Landlord. It is specifically understood and agreed that neither Landlord, nor any partner of Landlord, shall have any personal liability with respect to any of the terms, covenants, conditions or provisions of this Lease.

Section 30.1 Landlord’s Rights. If Tenant shall fail to comply fully with any of its obligations under this Lease (including, without limitation, its obligations to make repairs, maintain various policies of insurance, comply with all laws, ordinances and regulations and pay all bills for utilities), then Landlord shall have the right, at its option and in addition to any other remedies it has under this Lease and without hereby waiving such default, to cure such breach at Tenant’s expense without notice in the case of emergency and in any other case if such default continues after five (5) days written notice by Landlord.

Tenant agrees that, if required by Landlord, all signs shall be union made and shall not be installed on the Leased Premises or the building in which the Leased Premises are located until all approvals and permits from all governmental agencies having jurisdiction are first obtained and copies thereof delivered to Landlord together with evidence of payment for any fees pertaining to Tenant’s signs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord’s consent shall not be required for a banking regulation signage on the Leased Premises.

Section 31.2 General Provisions. Tenant shall procure appropriate workmen’s compensation and liability insurance policies covering the installation and maintenance of any signs, and all such policies or certificates of such policies shall be delivered to Landlord prior to the

(b) If Tenant fails to fully comply with the terms of this Section, Landlord may, at its option, perform any or all of Tenant’s obligations thereunder and all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord (including reasonable attorney and expert fees and clean up costs) in connection therewith shall be deemed to be additional rent payable by Tenant on demand therefor.

If Landlord or Tenant shall, as the result of any of the above described events, fail punctually to perform any obligation on its part to be performed under this Lease, then such failure shall be excused and not be a breach of this Lease by the party in question, but only to the extent occasioned by such event.

Notwithstanding anything herein contained, however, (a) the provisions of this Section shall not be applicable to Tenant’s obligation to pay Minimum Rent or additional rent or any other charge required to be paid by Tenant hereunder, and (b) with respect to any other obligation of Tenant pursuant to this Lease, only the events described in item (iii) of the first sentence of this Section shall be deemed to excuse performance for the purpose of this Section.

Section 32.7 Landlord’s Consent. Whenever Landlord’s consent or approval is required pursuant to the terms of this Lease, Landlord may grant or withhold such consent or approval, or may grant such consent or approval upon such terms and conditions as Landlord may deem advisable, in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion. Any such consent or approval must be expressly given in writing signed by Landlord in order to be binding upon Landlord.

Section 32.8 Landlord’s Costs. Any reference contained in this Lease to “costs incurred by Landlord” or “expenses incurred by Landlord” or similar reference shall be deemed to include all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord, Landlord’s agents and employees and, with respect to any activities carried out by Landlord, Landlord’s agents, and employees, shall further include an amount equal to the value of the time spent engaged in such activities, as if the same were accomplished by an independent party.

Section 32.9 Partial Payments. No payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount of Minimum Rent or additional rent than that provided herein shall be deemed to be other than on account of the earliest stipulated rent, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment as rent be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the balance of such rent or pursue any other remedy provided herein.

Section 32.10 Attorney’s Fees. Should it be necessary for Landlord to employ legal counsel to enforce any of the provisions of this Lease, Tenant agrees to pay all reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses including court costs incurred.

Section 32.11 No Waiver. One or more waivers of any covenant or condition by Landlord shall not be construed as a waiver of a subsequent breach of the same or any other covenant or condition, and the consent of approval by Landlord to or of any act by Tenant requiring Landlord’s consent or approval shall not be construed to waive or render unnecessary Landlord’s consent or approval to or of any subsequent similar act by Tenant.

Section 32.12 Titles of Articles. The titles of the Articles throughout this Lease are for convenience and reference only, and the words contained therein shall in no way be held to explain, modify, amplify or aid in the interpretation, construction or meaning of the provisions of this instrument.

Section 32.14 Successors and Assigns. Except as herein otherwise expressly provided, the terms and provisions hereof shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, administrators, successors and permitted assigns, respectively, of Landlord and Tenant. Each term and each provision of this Lease to be performed by Tenant shall be construed to be both an independent covenant and a condition. The reference contained to successors and assigns of Tenant is not intended to constitute a consent to assignment by Tenant, but has reference only to those instances in which Landlord may have given written consent to a particular assignment.

Section 32.15 Guarantors. (intentionally deleted)

Section 32.16 Relationship of Parities. Nothing contained in this Lease shall be deemed or construed by the parties hereto or by any third party to create the relationship of principal and agent or of partnership or of joint venture or of any association whatsoever between Landlord and Tenant, it being expressly understood and agreed that neither the computation of rent nor any other provisions contained in this Lease nor any act or acts of the parties hereto shall be deemed to create any relationship between Landlord and Tenant other than the relationship of landlord and tenant.

Section 32.17 Multiple Tenants. If this Lease is executed by more than one party, it is specifically agreed that the Landlord may enforce the provisions hereof with respect to one or more of such parties without seeking to enforce the same as to all or any other such parties, and each of the tenants hereby waives any requirement of joinder of all or any other of the parties hereto in any suit or proceeding to enforce the provisions hereof.

1) Extension Option(s). (a) Tenant shall have the right, at its option, to extend the term of this Lease for the Extension Period(s) upon the same terms, covenants and conditions herein set forth; provided, however, that the Minimum Rent for the first Lease Year of each Extension Period shall be increased to the greater of (i) the market rate then being charged for similar space in the Shopping Center or (ii) the Minimum Rent for the preceding Lease Year increased by three percent (3%). Thereafter, the Minimum Rent for each successive Lease Year during each Extension Period shall be an amount equal to the Minimum Rent for the last preceding Lease Year, increased by three percent (3%) per annum.

In order to exercise the Extension Option, Tenant shall be required to give written notice of its intention to extend at least six (6) months but not more than nine (9) months prior to the Lease Termination Date, or expiration of the then current Extension Period, as the case may be. Failure to deliver timely notice as required above shall cause the Extension Option, and all remaining Extension Options, to lapse and be of no further force and effect. Further, if Tenant shall be in default of the terms of this Lease, Tenant shall not have the right to exercise the Extension Option and if Tenant shall default hereunder after such right has been exercised but within the six (6) month period preceding the Extension Period such election shall, at Landlord’s option, be null and void.

(b) In the event that Tenant shall dispute Landlord’s determination of the market rate of rent being charged for similar space pursuant to the paragraph above, Tenant shall give notice to Landlord within ten (10) days of Tenant’s receipt of such Landlord’s determination, and the market rate shall be determined as follows: The market rate shall be determined by a single arbitrator appointed in accordance with the American Arbitration Association Real Estate Valuation Arbitration Proceeding Rules. Such arbitrator shall be impartial and shall have not less than ten (10) year’s experience in the County where the Shopping Center is located, in a calling related to the leasing of commercial space in premises comparable to the Shopping Center. Within fifteen (15) days following the appointment of such arbitrator each party shall submit a report setting forth its determination of the market rate of the Leased Premises for the applicable term, together with such other information as such party shall deem relevant. The arbitrator shall, within thirty (30) days following such hearing and submission of evidence render his decision by selecting the determination of market rate then being charged for similar space in the Shopping Center. It is expressly understood that such arbitrator shall have no power or authority to select any market rate other than the market rate submitted by Landlord or Tenant, and the decision of such arbitrator shall be final and binding upon the Landlord and Tenant. Prior to the determination of the arbitrator, Tenant shall pay Minimum Rent in an amount equal to the Landlord’s determination of market rate submitted to Tenant pursuant to this Section, and following the arbitrator’s final determination, the amount of any overpayment or underpayment shall be adjusted between the parties on demand. The cost of arbitration shall be borne by the party whose determination of Market Rate is not selected by the arbitrator.
