STANDARD TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR WAL*MART LEASE AGREEMENT
ARTICLE I. GENERAL PROVISIONS
1.1 Quiet Possession: Landlord further agrees that if Tenant shall
perform all of the covenants and agreements herein required to be performed by
Tenant, Tenant shall, subject to the terms of this Lease, at all times during
the continuance of this Lease have peaceful and quiet possession of the Demised
Premises.
1.2 Renewal Terms: Provided Tenant has conducted its business in an
efficient, high-class and reputable manner and is not in default hereunder,
Tenant shall have the option(s) to extend the term of this Lease for up to two
(2) consecutive terms of Five (5) years each by giving Landlord written notice
of its exercise of the respective option at least one hundred eighty (180) days
prior to the expiration of the original Lease Term or the expiration of the then
existing term. References to the "Lease Term" shall refer to the original term
and any extensions or renewals thereof.
1.3 Commencement Date: The latest to occur of (i) the ninetieth (9Oth)
day after Tenant's receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals; (ii) the
ninetieth (90th) day after the date on which Landlord tenders possession of the
Demised Premises to Tenant for completion of Tenant's work; and (iii) the date
on which the Store opens for business. Landlord and Tenant agree to execute and
deliver a "Commencement Agreement," in the form attached hereto as Exhibit "A"
within thirty (30) days after the FSF opens for business. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Commencement Date shall be no earlier than the Targeted
Commencement Date set forth in Section 5 of the Basic Provision, unless Tenant
actually opens for business in the Demised Premises before the Targeted
Commencement Date.
1.4 Permitted Use: A banking facility staffed with one or more bank
employees whose functions include, without limitation, opening new deposit
accounts, accepting loan applications, closing loans, and performing customary
teller transactions, such as cashing checks and taking deposits. An FSF may be
equipped with an ATM, vault, safe deposit boxes, a night depository, and one or
more self-service or interactive banking terminals. Tenant shall have the
exclusive right to operate an FSF within the Store and may also offer, on a
non-exclusive basis, such ancillary products and services as may be permitted by
applicable law and regulations; provided, however, that Tenant shall not offer
insurance, investment products and travel agency services, except for the
insurance and investment products and services listed on Exhibit "B," without
Landlord's prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld. Tenant may not trade merchandise that conflicts with Landlord's
merchandise without Landlord's written approval.
1.5 Automated Teller Machine ("ATM"):
(a) Tenant shall have the exclusive right to operate one ATM within the
Store, and a first refusal right to operate additional ATMs within the Store.
Any additional ATMs shall be subject to the terms of this Lease and to the
following additional conditions: (i) Tenant shall pay ATM rental of $500 per
month for each additional ATM; (ii) the location(s) of additional ATM(s) will be
as determined by Landlord; and (iii) all additional ATM(s) must be front-loading
ATMs.
(b) Tenant shall not charge a Terminal Usage Fee or other fee for use
of Tenant's ATMs in the Store, other than normal and customary interchange fees
and fees customarily assessed by Tenant to its account holders (none of which
shall be considered "Terminal Usage Fees" for the purposes of this Agreement)
without Landlord's prior written consent. Landlord's consent to Tenant's
imposition of Terminal Usage Fees shall not be unreasonably withheld, and shall
be based upon Landlord's analysis of Terminal Usage Fees charged by ATMs
operated by Tenant and other ATM operators within the Store's market area,
including freestanding ATMs, parking lot ATMs, ATMs in retail locations operated
by Landlord, and retail locations operated by Landlord's competitors, it being
Landlord's intention to ensure that Landlord's "everyday low prices" philosophy
applies to charges imposed on customers of Tenant's ATMs.
(c) In the event Tenant is permitted to charge Terminal Usage Fees, and
elects to do so, Tenant shall pay Landlord an ATM transaction fee (the "ATM
Transaction Fee"), in addition to any other ATM fees payable hereunder, equal to
fifty percent (50%) of the Terminal Usage Fees received by Tenant by reason of
transactions conducted at Tenant's ATM(s) in the Store. ATM Transaction Fees
shall be paid monthly in arrears, commencing on the fifteenth (15th) day of the
month after the month in which the ATM commences operation. Tenant shall keep
and maintain full and accurate records of Terminal Usage Fees charged to
customers of Tenant's ATM(s). Landlord shall have the right during Tenant's
business hours and upon reasonable notice to Tenant to inspect, copy and audit
such records, and Tenant will produce the same on Landlord's request. If any
such inspection and audit discloses a liability for ATM Transaction Fees in
excess of ATM Transaction Fees theretofore paid by Tenant, Tenant shall
promptly, upon demand, pay to Landlord such
S-1
liability. If the audit discloses that Tenant's statements underreported ATM
Transaction Fees by more than two percent (2%), then Tenant shall, in addition,
pay the reasonable cost of Landlord's audit.
ARTICLE II. ACCEPTANCE OF DEMISED PREMISES; REMODELING
2.1 Acceptance of Demised Premises: By opening for business in the
Demised Premises, Tenant shall be deemed to have accepted the same "as is" and
to have acknowledged that the same comply fully with Landlord's covenants and
obligations hereunder.
2.2 Possession: If this Lease is executed before the Demised Premises
becomes vacant, or if any present tenant or occupant of the Demised Premises
holds over, and Landlord cannot acquire possession of the Demised Premises prior
to the Targeted Commencement Date, Landlord shall not be deemed to be in default
hereunder, and Tenant agrees to accept possession of the Demised Premises at
such time as Landlord is able to tender the same. Landlord hereby waives the
payment of Rent covering any period prior to tender of possession of the Demised
Premises to Tenant hereunder. If Landlord, in Landlord's sole discretion,
determines that it will be unable to acquire possession of the Demised Premises
within a reasonable time after the Targeted Commencement Date by reasonable
commercial efforts, short of litigation, Landlord shall have the right to
terminate this Agreement by written notice to Tenant, whereupon neither party
shall have any further rights, duties or obligations hereunder.
2.3 Construction of Store: If this Lease is executed before Landlord
has commenced construction of the Store and Landlord does not tender possession
of the Demised Premises to Tenant for completion of Tenant's work by the
Targeted Commencement Date, as above defined, Landlord shall not be deemed to be
in default hereunder, and Tenant agrees to accept possession of the Demised
Premises at such time as Landlord tenders the same. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if Landlord, in Landlord's sole discretion (i) determines it will be
unable to deliver possession of the Demised Premises to Tenant within a
reasonable time after the Targeted Commencement Date, by reason of construction
or regulatory delays or otherwise, or (ii) elects not to construct the Store,
Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by written notice to
Tenant, whereupon neither party shall have any further rights, duties or
obligations hereunder.
2.4 Store Renovation: Tenant recognizes that Landlord may, from time to
time, wish to remodel, rearrange or enlarge the Store to accommodate changes in
retailing patterns. If the remodeling/rearranging/enlargement involves
relocation of the Demised Premises, Landlord shall pay the actual costs of such
relocation, but no more than $100,000.00 if the remodeling occurs during the
first year of the lease term; no more than $80,000.00 if within the second year
of the lease term; no more than $60.000.00 if within the third year of the lease
term; no more than $40,000.00 if within the fourth year of the lease term; no
more than $20,000.00 if within the fifth year of the lease term; and nothing
thereafter. Tenant shall pay all costs that Landlord has not agreed to pay. In
no event will Landlord be responsible for "loss of business," "lack of trade,"
or any other claim resulting out of such renovation. Notwithstanding any
remodeling of the Store, the Demised Premises shall always be comparable in
configuration and overall size to the original Demised Premises, and shall be
located at the front of the Store, convenient to checkout stands and plainly
visible to customers. Landlord agrees that Tenant may temporarily close the
Demised Premises if Tenant reasonably determines that its ability to operate is
materially impaired due to work associated with Store construction, remodeling,
moving or enlargement. Rent shall be abated during periods in which the Demised
Premises is closed by reason of work associated with Store construction,
remodeling, moving or enlargement.
ARTICLE III. RENT

succeeding calendar month during the Lease Term. Rent shall be prorated on a

3.3 Electronic Payment: It is understood that the Rent, Key Money,
Landlord's Construction Payment and all other payments hereunder are payable at

event any payment is not received within ten (10) days of the due date, it is
agreed that the amount thus due shall bear interest at the rate of one and
one-half percent (1 1/2%) per month, such interest to accrue continuously on any
unpaid balance due to Landlord by Tenant during the period commencing with the
due date and terminating with the date on which Tenant makes full payment of all
amounts owing to Landlord at the time of said payment. Any such interest shall
be payable as additional Rent hereunder and shall be payable immediately on
demand.
3.4 Quarterly Payment of Rent at Landlord's Option: If Tenant fails in
two (2) consecutive months to make payments of Rent within ten (10) days after
due, Landlord, in order to reduce its administrative costs, may require by
giving written notice to Tenant (and in addition to any interest accruing
pursuant to Section 3.3 above, as well as any other rights and remedies accruing

covenant of this Lease), that Rent is to be paid quarterly in advance instead of

detailing the appearance and size of all signs to be installed.
6.9 Trade Name: Tenant hereby acknowledges that Tenant's business
reputation, intended use of the Demised Premises and ability to generate
patronage to the Demised Premises and the Store were all relied upon by Landlord
and served as significant and material inducements contributing to Landlord's
decision to execute this Lease with Tenant. Tenant hereby covenants and agrees:
(i) to operate in the Demised Premises only under the trade name(s) set forth in
the Basic Provisions, and under no other name or trade name whatsoever without
Landlord's prior written consent, provided (A) such consent by Landlord shall
not be unreasonably withheld and (B) if Tenant is acquired by, or acquires,
whether by merger or other means, a bank or bank holding company having assets
equal to fifty percent (50%) or more of the assets of Tenant, Tenant may, upon

ARTICLE XVI. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
16.1 Landlord's Consent: Tenant shall not, without the prior written
consent of Landlord (i) assign, mortgage, pledge, hypothecate, encumber, or
permit any lien to attach to, or otherwise transfer, this Lease or any interest
hereunder, (ii) permit any assignment or other such foregoing transfer of this
Lease or any interest hereunder by operation of law, (iii) sublet the Demised
Premises or any part thereof, or (iv) permit the use of the Demised Premises by
any persons other than Tenant, its employees and its invitees (each of the
foregoing actions for which Landlord's consent is required is hereinafter
sometimes referred to as a "Transfer" and any person to whom any Transfer is
made or sought to be made is hereinafter sometimes referred to as a
"Transferee"). If Tenant shall desire Landlord's consent to any Transfer, Tenant
shall notify Landlord in writing, which notice shall include: (a) the proposed
effective date (which shall not be less than forty-five (45) days nor more than
one hundred eighty (180) days after the Tenant's notice), (b) all of the terms
of the proposed Transfer and the consideration therefor, the name and address of
the proposed Transferee, and a copy of all documentation pertaining to the
proposed Transfer, and (c) current audited financial statements of the proposed
Transferee, and any other information necessary to enable Landlord to determine
the financial responsibility, character, and reputation of the proposed
Transferee, and (d) such other information as Landlord may reasonably require.
Landlord's consent to any Transfer shall not be unreasonably withheld, but any
Transfer made without Landlord's prior written consent shall, at Landlord's
option, be null, void, and of no effect, and any acceptance of Rent by Landlord
from any purported Transferee shall not be deemed a consent to a Transfer or a
waiver of any of Landlord's rights or remedies hereunder.
16.2 Permitted Transfers: "Transferee" as used herein shall not include
a subsidiary, affiliate, division, corporation or other entity controlled by,
controlling or under common control with Tenant (each of which shall be an
"Affiliate" for purposes of the Lease), provided that the Affiliate is a federal
or state-chartered financial institution whose deposits are insured by the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and that the Affiliate will continue to
operate a full-service FSF in the Demised Premises. Landlord shall be deemed to
consent to a Transfer to such an Affiliate and no prior consent shall be
required thereto, provided that Tenant shall give prior written notice thereof
to Landlord for informational purposes only. Moreover, a merger or consolidation
in which Tenant is the surviving entity or in which the shareholders of Tenant
maintain control of the surviving entity shall not be deemed a Transfer.
16.3 Corporate Consolidation: For purposes of this Lease, the term
"Transfer" shall also include the dissolution or the merger or consolidation of
Tenant (other than with an Affiliate), or within a twelve (12) month period: (i)
the sale or other transfer of more than an aggregate of fifty percent (50%) of
the voting shares of Tenant (other than, in the case of a closely held
corporation, to immediate family members by reason of gift
S-8
or death), or (ii) the sale, mortgage, hypothecation or pledge of more than an
aggregate of fifty percent (50%) of the value of the unencumbered assets (as of
the date hereof) of Tenant.
16.4 Transfer Premium: If Landlord consents to a Transfer, and as a
condition thereto which the parties hereby agree is reasonable, Tenant shall pay
Landlord fifty percent (50%) of any Transfer Premium received by Tenant in
connection with such Transfer. "Transfer Premium" shall mean all Rent,
additional Rent or other consideration payable by such Transferee in any monthly
period in excess of the Rent payable by Tenant under this Lease (on a monthly
basis during the Term). If part of the consideration for such Transfer shall be
payable other than in cash, Landlord's share of such non-cash consideration
shall be in such form as is reasonably satisfactory to Landlord. Such percentage
of the Transfer Premium shall be paid promptly by Tenant upon Tenant's receipt
from time to time of periodic payments from such Transferee or at such other
time as Tenant shall realize a Transfer Premium. In lieu of accepting such
percentage of the Transfer Premium, Landlord may elect in writing within ninety
(90) days after Tenant's notice, to increase the Rent hereunder during the Term
of the Transfer by an amount equal to Landlord's share of the monthly amount of
such Transfer Premium. The provisions of this Subparagraph 16.4 shall not apply
to a Transfer to an Affiliate and shall not apply to payments made by a
Transferee for (i) Tenant's customer deposits, loans and related assets; or (ii)
the FSF or Tenant's furniture, fixtures and equipment contained therein.
16.5 Effect of Landlord Consent: If Landlord consents or is deemed to
consent to a Transfer: (a) the terms and conditions of this Lease, including
among other things, Tenant's (which term, for purposes hereof, shall mean the
transferring Tenant and any predecessor) liability for the Demised Premises
(including, without : limitation, Rent and other sums due with respect thereto),
shall in no way be deemed to have been waived or modified so that
notwithstanding such Transfer, the Tenant, its predecessors and the Transferee
shall be jointly and severally liable with respect to the Demised Premises, (b)
such consent shall not be deemed consent to any further Transfer by either
Tenant or a Transferee, (c) as a condition thereto Tenant shall first deliver to
Landlord an original executed copy of all documentation pertaining to the
Transfer, including but not limited to an assumption agreement by the
Transferee, in form reasonably acceptable to Landlord, and (d) Tenant shall
furnish upon Landlord's request a complete statement, certified by an
independent certified public accountant, or Tenant's chief financial officer,
setting forth in detail the computation of any Transfer Premium Tenant has
derived and shall derive from such Transfer. Landlord or its authorized
representatives shall have the right at all reasonable times to audit the books,
records and papers of Tenant relating to any Transfer Premium, and shall have
the right to make copies thereof. If the Transfer Premium respecting any
Transfer shall be found understated, Tenant shall within thirty (30) days after
demand pay the deficiency, and Landlord's costs of such audit, and if
understated by more than five percent (5%), Landlord shall have the right to
cancel this Lease upon thirty (30) days notice. Any sublease hereunder shall be
subordinate and subject to the provisions of this Lease, and if this Lease shall
be terminated during the term of any sublease, Landlord shall have the right to
(i) treat such sublease as canceled and repossess the Demised Premises by any
lawful means or (ii) require that such subtenant attorn to and recognize
Landlord as its landlord under such sublease.
16.6 Landlord's Lease (if any): If this Lease is in fact a sublease,
Tenant accepts this Lease subject to all of the terms and conditions of the
underlying Lease under which Landlord holds the Store as lessee. Tenant
covenants that it will do no act or thing which would constitute a violation by
Landlord of his obligation under such underlying Lease; provided, however, that
Tenant's agreement in this regard is premised on Landlord's assurances to the
effect that the terms of this Lease do not violate such underlying Lease.
16.7 Transfer by Landlord: In the event of the Transfer by Landlord of
its interest in this Lease to a Transferee expressly assuming Landlord's
obligation under this Lease, Landlord shall thereby be released from any further
obligations hereunder, and Tenant agrees to look solely to such Transferee of
Landlord for performance of such obligations. Any security given by Tenant to
secure performance of Tenant's obligations hereunder may be assigned and
transferred by Landlord to such Transferee, and Landlord shall thereby be
discharged of any further obligation relating thereto.
ARTICLE XVII. TAXES
17.1 Tenant's Responsibility for Taxes: Tenant shall be liable for all
taxes levied against personal property and trade fixtures placed by Tenant in
the Demised Premises. If any such taxes are levied against Landlord or
Landlord's property, and if Landlord elects to pay the same or if the assessed
value of Landlord's property is increased by inclusion of personal property and
trade fixtures placed by Tenant in the Demised Premises, and Landlord elects to
pay the taxes based on such increase, Tenant shall pay to Landlord upon demand
that part of such taxes for which Tenant is primarily liable hereunder.
17.2 Landlord's Responsibility for Taxes: Except as provided in Section
17.1, Landlord shall pay or cause to be paid all general real estate taxes,
general and special assessments, parking surcharges and
S-9

year.

excise on rents or other tax however described (except any franchise, estate,
inheritance, capital stock, income or excess profits tax imposed upon Landlord)
is levied or assessed against Landlord by any lawful taxing authority on account
of Landlord's interest in this Lease or the Rent or other charges reserved
hereunder, as a substitute in whole or in part, or in addition to the General
Taxes described in Section 17.2 above, Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord upon
demand, and in addition to the Rent and other charges prescribed in this Lease,
the amount of such tax or excise. In the event any such tax or excise is levied
or assessed directly against Tenant, then Tenant shall be responsible for and
shall pay the same at such times and in such manner as the taxing authority
shall require.

this Lease other than as described in subsection (a) above and shall not cure
such failure within thirty (30) days after written notice thereof to Tenant, or,

to commence efforts to remedy such default within such thirty (30) day period
and thereafter diligently prosecute such efforts so that such default is cured
within a reasonable time.

State thereof, or Tenant or any guarantor of Tenant's obligations under this
Lease shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent in proceedings filed against
Tenant or any guarantor of Tenant's obligations under this Lease thereunder.
(e) A receiver or trustee shall be appointed for the Demised Premises

the Demised Premises or any substantial portion of the Demised Premises prior to
termination of this Lease.
(g) Tenant shall do or permit to be done anything which creates a lien
upon the Demised Premises.
18.2 Landlord's Remedies: Upon the occurrence of any such events of
default, Landlord shall have the option to pursue either of the following
alternative remedies:
(a) Without any notice or demand whatsoever, Landlord may take any one
or more of the actions permissible at law to insure performance by Tenant of
Tenant's covenants and obligations under this Lease. In this regard, it is
agreed that if Tenant deserts or vacates the Demised Premises, Landlord may
enter upon and take possession of the Demised Premises in order to protect them
from deterioration and continue to demand from Tenant the monthly rentals and
other charges provided in this Lease, without any obligation to relet; but that
if Landlord does, at its sole discretion, elect to relet the Demised Premises,
such action by Landlord shall not be deemed as an acceptance of Tenant's
surrender of the Demised Premises unless Landlord expressly notifies Tenant of
such acceptance in writing pursuant to Subsection (b) of Section 18.2 Tenant
hereby acknowledges that Landlord shall otherwise be reletting as Tenant's agent
and Tenant furthermore hereby agrees to pay to Landlord on demand any deficiency
that may arise between the monthly rentals and other charges provided in this
Lease and that actually collected by Landlord. It is further agreed in this
regard that in the event of any default described in Subsection (b) of Section
18.1, Landlord shall have the right to enter upon the Demised Premises without
being liable for prosecution of any claim for damages therefor, and do whatever
Tenant is obligated to do under the terms of this Lease; and Tenant agrees to
reimburse Landlord on demand for any expenses which Landlord may incur in thus
effecting compliance with Tenant's obligations under
S-10
this Lease; and Tenant further agrees that Landlord shall not be liable for any
damages resulting to Tenant from such action.
(b) Landlord may terminate this Lease by written notice to Tenant, in
which event Tenant shall immediately surrender the Demised Premises to Landlord,
and if Tenant fails to do so, Landlord may, without prejudice to any other
remedy which Landlord may have for possession or arrearages in Rent (including
any interest which may have accrued pursuant to Article III of this Lease),
enter upon and take possession of the Demised Premises and expel or remove
Tenant and any other person who may be occupying said premises or any part
thereof, without being liable for prosecution or any claim for damages therefor.
Landlord agrees to provide ten (10) days written notice and Tenant has ten (10)
days to correct, modify and make whole any obligation. Tenant hereby waives any
statutory requirement of prior written notice for filing eviction or damage
suits for nonpayment of Rent. In addition, Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord on
demand the amount of all loss and damage which Landlord may suffer by reason of
any termination effected pursuant to this Subsection 18.2(b), said loss and
damage to be determined by either of the following alternative measures of
damage.
(c) Until Landlord is able, through reasonable efforts, the nature of
which efforts shall be at the sole discretion of Landlord, to relet the Demised
Premises, Tenant shall pay to Landlord on or before the first day of each
calendar month, the Rent and other charges provided in this Lease. After the
Demised Premises have been relet by Landlord, Tenant shall pay to Landlord on
the twentieth day of each calendar month the difference between the Rent and
other charges provided in this Lease for the preceding calendar month and that
actually collected by Landlord for such month. If it is necessary for Landlord
to bring suit in order to collect a deficiency, Landlord shall have a right to
allow such deficiencies to accumulate and to bring an action on several or all
of the accrued deficiencies at one time. Any such suit shall not prejudice in
any way the right of Landlord to bring a similar action for any subsequent
deficiency or deficiencies. Any amount collected by Landlord from subsequent
tenants for any calendar month, in excess of the Rent and other charges provided
in this Lease, shall be credited to Tenant in reduction of Tenant's liability
for any calendar month for which the amount collected by Landlord will be less
than the Rent and other charges provided in this Lease; but Tenant shall have no
right to such excess other than the above described credit.
(d) When Landlord desires, Landlord may demand a final settlement. Upon
demand for a final settlement, Landlord shall have a right to, and Tenant hereby
agrees to pay, the difference between the total of all Rent and other charges
provided in this Lease for the remainder of the term and the reasonable rental
value of the Demised Premises for such period, such difference to be discounted
to present value at the rate of eight percent (8%) per annum).
(e) If Landlord elects to compute damages in the manner prescribed by
Subsection (c) above, this election shall in no way prejudice Landlord's right
at any time thereafter to demand a final settlement in accordance with
Subsection (d) above. Pursuit of any of the above remedies shall not preclude
pursuit of any other remedies prescribed in other sections of this Lease and any
other remedies provided by law. Forbearance by Landlord to enforce one or more
of the remedies herein provided upon an event of default shall not be deemed or
construed to constitute a waiver of such default.
18.3 Landlord's Expenses: It is further agreed that, in addition to
payments required pursuant to Subsections 18.2(a) and 18.2(b), Tenant shall
compensate Landlord for all expenses incurred by Landlord in repossession
(including among other expenses, any increase in Insurance Premiums caused by
the vacancy of the Demised Premises), all expenses incurred by Landlord in
reletting (including among other expenses, repairs, remodeling, replacements,
advertisements and brokerage fees), all concessions granted to a new tenant upon
reletting (including among other concessions, renewal options), all losses
incurred by Landlord as a direct or indirect result of Tenant's default
(including among other losses, any adverse reaction by Landlord's mortgagee or
by other tenants or potential tenants of the Store), and a reasonable allowance
for Landlord's administrative efforts, salaries and overhead attributable
directly or indirectly to Tenant's default and Landlord's pursuing the rights
and remedies provided herein and under applicable law. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Tenant shall not be obligated to make payments by reason of a default
in an amount exceeding the total Rent in this Lease for the remainder of the
Lease Term.
18.4 Injunction: Landlord may restrain or enjoin any breach or
threatened breach of any covenant, duty or obligation of Tenant herein contained
without the necessity of proving the inadequacy of any legal remedy or
irreparable harm. The remedies of Landlord hereunder shall be deemed cumulative
and not exclusive of each other.
18.5 Attorney's Fees: If on account of any breach or default by Tenant
in its obligations hereunder. Landlord shall employ an attorney to present,
enforce or defend any of Landlord's rights or remedies hereunder. Tenant agrees
to pay any reasonable attorney's fees incurred by Landlord in such connection.
S-11
18.6 Tenant's Insolvency: Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Lease, in the event the Tenant or its successors or assignee shall become
insolvent, bankrupt, or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or if
it or their interest hereunder shall be levied upon or sold under execution or
other legal process, or in the event the FSF to be operated on the Demised
Premises is closed, or is taken over by a bank supervisory authority, the
Landlord may terminate this Lease only with the concurrence of such bank
supervisory authority, and any such authority shall in any event have the
election to either continue or terminate this Lease, provided, that in the event
this Lease is terminated, the maximum claim of Landlord against such bank
supervisory authority for damages or indemnity for injury resulting from the
rejection or abandonment of the unexpired lease shall in no event be in an
amount exceeding the Rent reserved by this Lease, without acceleration, for the
year next succeeding the date of the surrender of the Demised Premises to the
Landlord, or the date of re-entry of the Landlord, whichever first occurs,
whether before or after the closing of the FSF, plus an amount equal to the
unpaid Rent accrued without acceleration up to such date. This paragraph shall
limit the liability of the FDIC but not affect Landlord's other rights or
remedies under law.
ARTICLE XIX. LANDLORD'S CONTRACTUAL SECURITY INTEREST
19.1 Landlord's Security Interest: In addition to the statutory
Landlord's Lien, Landlord shall have at all times a valid security interest to
secure payment of Rent and other sums of money becoming due hereunder from
Tenant and to secure payment of any damages or losses which Landlord may suffer
by reason of the breach by Tenant of any covenant, agreement or condition
contained herein, upon all goods, wares, equipment, fixtures, furniture,
improvements and other tangible personal property of Tenant presently, or which
may hereafter be, situated on the Demised Premises, and all proceeds therefrom,
and such property shall not be removed without the consent of Landlord until all
arrearages in Rent as well as any and ail other sums of money then due to
Landlord or to become due to Landlord hereunder shall first have been paid and
discharged and all the covenants, agreements and conditions hereof have been
fully complied with and performed by Tenant. Upon the occurrence of an event of
default by Tenant, Landlord may, in addition to any other remedies provided,
enter upon the Demised Premises and take possession of any and all goods, wares,
equipment, fixtures, furniture, improvements and other tangible personal
property of Tenant situated on the Demised Premises, without liability for
trespass or conversion, and sell the same at public or private sale, with or
without having such property at the sale, after giving Tenant reasonable notice
of the time and place of any public sale or of the time after which any private
sale is to be made, at which sale Landlord or its assigns may purchase unless
otherwise prohibited by law. Unless otherwise provided by law, and without
intending to exclude any other manner of giving Tenant reasonable notice, the
requirement of reasonable notice shall be met if such notice is given in the
manner prescribed in this Lease at least seven (7) days before the time of sale.
Any sale made pursuant to the provision of this paragraph shall be deemed to
have been a public sale conducted in a commercially reasonable manner if held in
the above-described premises or where the property is located after the time,
and place and method of sale and a general description of the types of property
to be sold have been advertised in a daily newspaper published in the county in
which the property is located for five (5) consecutive days before the date of
the sale. The proceeds from any such disposition, less any and all expenses
connected with the taking of possession, holding and selling of the property
(including reasonable attorney's fees and legal expenses), shall be applied as a
credit against the indebtedness secured by the security interest granted in this
paragraph. Any surplus shall be paid to Tenant or as otherwise required by law;
Tenant shall pay any deficiencies forthwith. Upon request by Landlord, Tenant
agrees to execute and deliver to Landlord a financing statement in form
sufficient to perfect the security interest of Landlord in the aforementioned
property and proceeds thereof under the provision of the Uniform Commercial Code
(or corresponding state statute or statutes) in force in the state in which the
property is located, as well as any other state the laws of which Landlord may
at any time consider to be applicable.
19.2 Subordination of Landlord's Security Interest: Notwithstanding
Section 19.1, (i) Landlord agrees that it will subordinate its security interest
and Landlord's Lien to the security interest of Tenant's supplier or
institutional financial source, provided that Landlord approves the transaction
as being reasonably necessary for Tenant's operations at the Demised Premises,
and further provided that the subordination must be limited to a specified
transaction and specified items of the fixtures, equipment or inventory involved
in the transaction. and (ii) Landlord agrees that its lien shall be limited to
Tenant's equipment, fixture, furniture, improvements and other personal property
of Tenant situated on the Demised Premises and shall not apply to banking
records, money, accounts, deposits or any property of Tenant's customers.
ARTICLE XX. HOLDING OVER
20.1 Holdover Status: In the event Tenant remains in possession of the
Demised Premises after the expiration of this Lease and without the execution of
a new lease, it shall be deemed to be occupying the Demised Premises as a tenant
from month to month at a monthly rental rate equal to the current Rent plus
other charges herein provided plus fifty percent (50%) of such amount and
otherwise subject to all the conditions, provisions and obligations of this
Lease insofar as the same are applicable to a month to month tenancy.
S-12

negotiations to extend the term of the lease or to enter into a new lease,
Tenant shall be permitted to continue paying monthly rental at a rate equal to
the current Rent, without the fifty percent (50%) additional charge, while such
negotiations continue; provided, however, that in the event Landlord and Tenant
do not extend the term of this Lease or enter into a new Lease within three (3)
months after termination of this Lease, Landlord may, at any time, require
Tenant to commence paying Rent plus fifty percent (50%) of such amount as set
forth in this Section 20.1.
ARTICLE XXI. SUBORDINATION AND ATTORNMENT
21.1 Mortgages, etc.: Tenant accepts this Lease subject and subordinate
to any mortgage, deed of trust or other lien presently existing or hereafter
placed upon the Demised Premises or the Store and Common Area as a whole and to
any renewals and extensions thereof. Tenant agrees that any such mortgagee shall
have the right at any time to subordinate such mortgage, deed of trust or other
lien to this Lease; provided, however, notwithstanding that this Lease may be
(or made to be) superior to mortgage, deed of trust or other lien, the
provisions of mortgage, deed of trust or other lien relative to the rights of
the mortgagee with respect to proceeds arising from an eminent domain taking
(including a voluntary conveyance by Landlord) and/or arising from insurance
payable by reason of damage to or destruction of the Demised Premises shall be
prior and superior to any contrary provisions contained in this instrument with
respect to the payment or usage thereof. Landlord is hereby irrevocably vested
with full power and authority to subordinate this Lease to any mortgage, deed of
trust or other lien hereafter placed upon the Demised Premises or the Store and
Common Area as a whole, and Tenant agrees upon demand to execute such further
instruments subordinating this Lease as Landlord may request; provided, however,
that upon Tenant's written request and notice to Landlord, Landlord shall use
good faith efforts to obtain from any such mortgagee a written agreement that
the rights of Tenant shall remain in full force and effect during the Lease Term
as long as Tenant shall continue to recognize and perform all of the covenants
and conditions of this Lease.
21.2 Notice to Mortgagee: At any time when the holder of an outstanding
mortgage, deed of trust or other lien covering Landlord's interest in the
Demised Premises has given Tenant written notice of its interest in this Lease,
Tenant may not exercise any remedies for default by Landlord hereunder unless
and until the holder of the indebtedness secured by such mortgage, deed of trust
or other lien shall have received written notice of such default and a
reasonable time for curing such default shall thereafter have elapsed.
21.3 Estoppel Certificates: Tenant agrees that it will from time to
time upon request by Landlord execute and deliver to Landlord a written
statement addressed to Landlord (or to a party designated by Landlord), which
statement shall identify Tenant and this Lease, shall certify that this Lease is
unmodified and in full force and effect (or if there have been modifications,
that the same is in full force and effect as so modified), shall confirm that
Landlord is not in default as to any obligations of Landlord under this Lease
(or if Landlord is in default, specifying any default), shall confirm Tenant's
agreements contained above in this Article XXI, shall confirm the Commencement
and Termination Dates of this Lease, and shall contain such other information or
confirmations as Landlord may reasonably require. Landlord is hereby irrevocably
appointed and authorized as the agent and attorney-in-fact of Tenant to execute
and deliver any such written statement on Tenant's behalf if Tenant fails to do
so within seven (7) days after the delivery of a written request from Landlord
to Tenant. Landlord may treat such failure as an event of default.
21.4 Attornment: Tenant shall attorn to and be bound to any of
Landlord's successors under all the terms, covenants and conditions of this
Lease for the balance of any remaining Lease Term.
ARTICLE XXII. NOTICES & CORRESPONDENCE
22.1 Notices: Any notice or document required or permitted to be
delivered hereunder shall be deemed to be delivered when actually received or
rejected by the designated addressee and shall be given by United States
certified mail return receipt requested, postage prepaid or by recognized
national courier (such as Federal Express), addressed to the parties hereto at
the respective addresses set forth above, or such other addresses as may be
specified by written notice.
ARTICLE XXIII. REGULATIONS
23.1 Compliance With Regulations: Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that
there are in effect, and may hereafter be enacted or put into effect, federal,
state, county and municipal laws, orders, rules, directives and regulations
(collectively referred to hereinafter as the "Regulations"), relating to or
affecting the Demised Premises or the Store and Common Area, and concerning the
impact on the environment of construction, land use, maintenance and operation
of structures, and conduct of business. Subject to the express rights granted to
Tenant under the terms of this Lease, Tenant will not cause, or permit to be
caused, any act or practice, by negligence, omission, or otherwise, that would
adversely affect the environment, or do anything to permit
S-13
anything to be done that would violate any Regulations. Moreover, Tenant shall
have no claim against Landlord by reason of any changes Landlord may make in the
Store, Common Area or the Demised Premises which may be required to comply with
such Regulations.
23.2 Applications: Tenant shall file applications with the appropriate
regulatory authorities for authority to establish a branch office in the Demised
Premises and shall keep Landlord advised of the processing of the applications.
The obligations of the Tenant under this Lease are subject to the condition
precedent that the Tenant shall receive authority to establish a branch office
to the Demised Premises. In the event such authority is not received on or
before the Targeted Commencement Date, either Landlord or Tenant shall have the
right, upon notice to the other, to terminate this Lease. In such event, neither
party hereto shall have any further rights, duties or obligations hereunder.
ARTICLE XXIV. MISCELLANEOUS
24.1 No Partnership: Nothing herein contained shall be deemed or
construed by the parties hereto, nor by any third party, as creating the
relationship of principal and agent or of partnership or of joint venture
between the parties hereto, it being understood and agreed that neither the
method of computation of Rent, nor any other provision contained herein, nor any
acts of the parties hereto, shall be deemed to create any relationship between
the parties hereto other than the relationship of Landlord and Tenant.
24.2 No Offset: Tenant shall not for any reason withhold or reduce
Tenant's required payments of Rent and other charges provided in this Lease, it
being agreed that the obligations of Landlord hereunder are independent of
Tenant's obligations except as may be otherwise expressly provided. In this
regard it is specifically understood and agreed that in the event Landlord
commences any proceedings against Tenant for nonpayment of Rent or any other sum
due and payable by Tenant hereunder, Tenant will not interpose any counterclaim
or other claim against Landlord of whatever nature or description in any such
proceedings (other than a compulsory counterclaim under Rule 13(a) of the
Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, or any analogous rule in a state court
proceeding); and in the event that Tenant interposes any such counterclaim or
other claim against Landlord in such proceedings, Landlord and Tenant stipulate
and agree that, in addition to any other lawful remedy of Landlord, upon motion
of Landlord, such counterclaim or other claim asserted by Tenant shall be
severed from the proceedings instituted by Landlord. Landlord may proceed to
final judgment separately and apart from and without consolidation with or
reference to the status of such counterclaim or any other claim asserted by
Tenant.
24.3 Landlord's Liability: The liability of Landlord to Tenant for any
default by Landlord under the terms of this Lease shall be limited to the
greater of (i) two million dollars ($2,000,000.00) or (ii) the proceeds of sale
on execution of the interest of Landlord in the Store. Landlord shall remain
personally liable to account to Tenant for any security deposited hereunder.
This clause shall not be deemed to limit or deny any remedies which Tenant may
have in the event of default by Landlord hereunder, which do not involve the
personal liability of Landlord.
24.4 Consents: Any clause referring to Landlord approval refers to
written consent. Except as may be otherwise herein provided, in all
circumstances under this Lease where prior consent or permission of one party
("First Party"), whether it be Landlord or Tenant, is required before the other
party ("Second Party") is authorized to take any particular type of action, the
matter of whether to grant such consent or permission shall be within the sole
and exclusive judgment and discretion of the First Party; and it shall not
constitute any nature of breach by the First Party hereunder or any defense to
the performance of any covenant, duty or obligation of the Second Party
hereunder that the First Party delayed or withheld the granting of such consent
or permission, whether or not the delay or withholding of such consent or
permission was, in the opinion of the Second Party, prudent or reasonable or
based on good cause.
24.5 Waivers: One or more waivers of any covenant, term, or condition
of this Lease by either party shall not be construed as a waiver of a subsequent
breach of the same covenant, term or condition. The consent or approval by
either party to or of any act by the other party requiring such consent or
approval shall not be deemed to waive or render unnecessary consent to or
approval of any subsequent similar act.
24.6 Force Majeure: Whenever a period of time is herein prescribed for
an action to be taken, the party required to take such action (other than
payment of money) shall not be liable or responsible for, and there shall be
excluded from the computation of any such period of time, any delays due to
strikes, riots, acts of God, shortages of labor or materials, war, governmental
laws, regulations or restrictions or any other causes of any kind whatsoever
which are beyond the reasonable control of such party.
24.7 Governing Law: The laws of the state in which the Demised Premises
are located shall govern the interpretation, validity, performance and
enforcement of this Lease. If any provision of this Lease should be
S-14
held to be invalid or unenforceable, the validity and enforceability of the
remaining provisions of this Lease shall not be affected thereby. Venue for any
action under this Lease shall be the county in which the Store is located.
24.8 Captions: The captions used herein are for convenience only and do
not limit or amplify the provisions hereof.
24.9 Number; Gender: Whenever here the singular number is used, the
same shall include the plural, and words of any gender shall include each other
gender.
24.10 Successors: The terms, provisions and covenants contained in this
Lease shall apply to, inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties
hereto and their respective heirs, successors in interest and legal
representatives except as otherwise herein expressly provided.
24.11 Entire Agreement: This Lease contains the entire agreement
between the parties, and no agreement shall be effective to change, modify or
terminate this Lease in whole or in part unless such is in writing and duly
signed by the party against whom enforcement of such change, modification or
termination is sought. Landlord and Tenant hereby acknowledge that they are not
relying on any representation or promise of the other, except as may be
expressly set forth in this Lease. Oral agreements in conflict with any of the
terms of this Lease shall be without force and effect.
24.12 Exhibits: This Lease consists of twenty-four (24) Articles and
Exhibits A through D (any space I left blank will be deemed to have been
completed with the word "none"). In the event any provision of an Exhibit or
other attached page shall be inconsistent with a provision in the body of the
Lease, the provision as set forth in the Exhibit shall be deemed to control. All
Exhibits referred to herein, whether or not physically attached to this Lease,
shall be deemed incorporated herein by reference.
24.13 Store Closing: Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
Tenant agrees to the cancellation of this Lease and agrees to vacate the Demised
Premises on the date Landlord ceases doing business in the Store unless a longer
period is required by federal or state law, or unless this Lease is transferred
by Landlord, as contemplated by Article XVI above. Landlord agrees to give
Tenant as much notice as is practicable under the circumstances of Landlord's
decision to cease doing business in the Shopping Center.

STANDARD TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR WAL-MART LEASE AGREEMENT
ARTICLE I. GENERAL PROVISIONS
1.1 Quiet Possession: Landlord further agrees that if Tenant shall
perform all of the covenants and agreements herein required to be performed by
Tenant, Tenant shall, subject to the terms of this Lease, at all times during
the continuance of this Lease have peaceful and quiet possession of the Demised
Premises.
1.2 Renewal Terms: Provided Tenant has conducted its business in an
efficient, high-class and reputable manner and is not in default hereunder,
Tenant shall have the option(s) to extend the term of this Lease for up to two
(2) consecutive terms of Five (5) years each by giving Landlord written notice
of its exercise of the respective option at least one hundred eighty (180) days
prior to the expiration of the original Lease Term or the expiration of the then
existing term. References to the "Lease Term" shall refer to the original term
and any extensions or renewals thereof.
1.3 Commencement Date: The latest to occur of (i) the ninetieth (9Oth)
day after Tenant's receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals; (ii) the
ninetieth (9Oth) day after the date on which Landlord tenders possession of the
Demised Premises to Tenant for completion of Tenant's work; and (iii) the date
on which the Store opens for business. Landlord and Tenant agree to execute and
deliver a "Commencement Agreement," in the form attached hereto as Exhibit "A"
within thirty (30) days after the FSF opens for business. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Commencement Date shall be no earlier than the Targeted
Commencement Date set forth in Section 5 of the Basic Provision, unless Tenant
actually opens for business in the Demised Premises before the Targeted
Commencement Date.
1.4 Permitted Use: A banking facility staffed with one or more bank
employees whose functions include, without limitation, opening new deposit
accounts, accepting loan applications, closing loans, and performing customary
teller transactions, such as cashing checks and taking deposits. An FSF may be
equipped with an ATM, vault, safe deposit boxes, a night depository, and one or
more self-service or interactive banking terminals. Tenant shall have the
exclusive right to operate an FSF within the Store and may also offer, on a
non-exclusive basis, such ancillary products and services as may be permitted by
applicable law and regulations; provided, however, that Tenant shall not offer
insurance, investment products and travel agency services, except for the
insurance and investment products and services listed on Exhibit "8," without
Landlord's prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld. Tenant may not trade merchandise that conflicts with Landlord's
merchandise without Landlord's written approval.
1.5 Automated Teller Machine ("ATM"):
(a) Tenant shall have the exclusive right to operate one ATM within the
Store, and a first refusal right to operate additional ATMs within the Store.
Any additional ATMs shall be subject to the terms of this Lease and to the
following additional conditions: (i) Tenant shall pay ATM rental of $500 per
month for each additional ATM; (ii) the location(s) of additional ATM(s) will be
as determined by Landlord; and (iii) all additional ATM(s) must be front-loading
ATMs.
(b) Tenant shall not charge a Terminal Usage Fee or other fee for use
of Tenant's ATMs in the Store, other than normal and customary interchange fees
and fees customarily assessed by Tenant to its account holders (none of which
shall be considered "Terminal Usage Fees" for the purposes of this Agreement)
without Landlord's prior written consent. Landlord's consent to Tenant's
imposition of Terminal Usage Fees shall not be unreasonably withheld, and shall
be based upon Landlord's analysis of Terminal Usage Fees charged by ATMs
operated by Tenant and other ATM operators within the Store's market area,
including freestanding ATMs, parking lot ATMs, ATMs in retail locations operated
by Landlord, and retail locations operated by Landlord's competitors, it being
Landlord's intention to ensure that Landlord's "everyday low prices" philosophy
applies to charges imposed on customers of Tenant's ATMs.
(c) In the event Tenant is permitted to charge Terminal Usage Fees, and
elects to do so, Tenant shall pay Landlord an ATM transaction fee (the "ATM
Transaction Fee"), in addition to any other ATM fees payable hereunder, equal to
fifty percent (50%) of the Terminal Usage Fees received by Tenant by reason of
transactions conducted at Tenant's ATM(s) in the Store. ATM Transaction Fees
shall be paid monthly in arrears, commencing on the fifteenth (15th) day of the
month after the month in which the ATM commences operation. Tenant shall keep
and maintain full and accurate records of Terminal Usage Fees charged to
customers of Tenant's ATM(s). Landlord shall have the right during Tenant's
business hours and upon reasonable notice to Tenant to inspect, copy and audit
such records, and Tenant will produce the same on Landlord's request. If any
such inspection and audit discloses a liability for ATM Transaction Fees in
excess of ATM Transaction Fees theretofore paid by Tenant, Tenant shall
promptly, upon demand, pay to Landlord such
S-1
liability. If the audit discloses that Tenant's statements underreported ATM
Transaction Fees by more than two percent (2%), then Tenant shall, in addition,
pay the reasonable cost of Landlord's audit.
ARTICLE II. ACCEPTANCE OF DEMISED PREMISES; REMODELING
2.1 Acceptance of Demised Premises: By opening for business in the
Demised Premises, Tenant shall be deemed to have accepted the same "as is" and
to have acknowledged that the same comply fully with Landlord's covenants and
obligations hereunder.
2.2 Possession: If this Lease is executed before the Demised Premises
becomes vacant, or if any present tenant or occupant of the Demised Premises
holds over, and Landlord cannot acquire possession of the Demised Premises prior
to the Targeted Commencement Date, Landlord shall not be deemed to be in default
hereunder, and Tenant agrees to accept possession of the Demised Premises at
such time as Landlord is able to tender the same. Landlord hereby waives the
payment of Rent covering any period prior to tender of possession of the Demised
Premises to Tenant hereunder. If Landlord, in Landlord's sole discretion,
determines that it will be unable to acquire possession of the Demised Premises
within a reasonable time after the Targeted Commencement Date by reasonable
commercial efforts, short of litigation, Landlord shall have the right to
terminate this Agreement by written notice to Tenant, whereupon neither party
shall have any further rights, duties or obligations hereunder.
2.3 Construction of Store: If this Lease is executed before Landlord
has commenced construction of the Store and Landlord does not tender possession
of the Demised Premises to Tenant for completion of Tenant's work by the
Targeted Commencement Date, as above defined, Landlord shall not be deemed to be
in default hereunder, and Tenant agrees to accept possession of the Demised
Premises at such time as Landlord tenders the same. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if Landlord, in Landlord's sole discretion (i) determines it will be
unable to deliver possession of the Demised Premises to Tenant within a
reasonable time after the Targeted Commencement Date, by reason of construction
or regulatory delays or otherwise, or (ii) elects not to construct the Store,
Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by written notice to
Tenant, whereupon neither party shall have any further rights, duties or
obligations hereunder.
2.4 Store Renovation: Tenant recognizes that Landlord may, from time to
time, wish to remodel, rearrange or enlarge the Store to accommodate changes in
retailing patterns. If the remodeling/rearranging/enlargement involves
relocation of the Demised Premises, Landlord shall pay the actual costs of such
relocation, but no more than $100,000.00 if the remodeling occurs during the
first year of the lease term; no more than $80,000.00 if within the second year
of the lease term; no more than $60,000.00 if within the third year of the lease
term; no more than $40,000.00 if within the fourth year of the lease term; no
more than $20,000.00 if within the fifth year of the lease term; and nothing
thereafter. Tenant shall pay all costs that Landlord has not agreed to pay. In
no event will Landlord be responsible for "loss of business," "lack of trade,"
or any other claim resulting out of such renovation. Notwithstanding any
remodeling of the Store, the Demised Premises shall always be comparable in
configuration and overall size to the original Demised Premises, and shall be
located at the front of the Store, convenient to checkout stands and plainly
visible to customers. Landlord agrees that Tenant may temporarily close the
Demised Premises if Tenant reasonably determines that its ability to operate is
materially impaired due to work associated with Store construction, remodeling,
moving or enlargement. Rent shall be abated during periods in which the Demised
Premises is closed by reason of work associated with Store construction,
remodeling, moving or enlargement.

any persons other than Tenant, its employees and its invitees (each of the
foregoing actions for which Landlord's consent is required is hereinafter
sometimes referred to as a "Transfer" and any person to whom any Transfer is
made or sought to be made is hereinafter sometimes referred to as a
"Transferee"). If Tenant shall desire Landlord's consent to any Transfer, Tenant
shall notify Landlord in writing, which notice shall include: (a) the proposed
effective date (which shall not be less than forty-five (45) days nor more than
one hundred eighty (180) days after the Tenant's notice), (b) all of the terms
of the proposed Transfer and the consideration therefor, the name and address of

Transfer made without Landlord's prior written consent shall, at Landlord's
option, be null, void, and of no effect, and any acceptance of Rent by Landlord

consent to a Transfer to such an Affiliate and no prior consent shall be
required thereto, provided that Tenant shall give prior written notice thereof
to Landlord for informational purposes only. Moreover, a merger or consolidation
in which Tenant is the surviving entity or in which the shareholders of Tenant
maintain control of the surviving entity shall not be deemed a Transfer.

"Transfer" shall also include the dissolution or the merger or consolidation of
Tenant (other than with an Affiliate), or within a twelve (12) month period: (i)
the sale or other transfer of more than an aggregate of fifty percent (50%) of
the voting shares of Tenant (other than, in the case of a closely held
corporation, to immediate family members by reason of gift

aggregate of fifty percent (50%) of the value of the unencumbered assets (as of

connection with such Transfer. "Transfer Premium" shall mean all Rent,
additional Rent or other consideration payable by such Transferee in any monthly
period in excess of the Rent payable by Tenant under this Lease (on a monthly
basis duting the Term). If part of the consideration for such Transfer shall be
payable other than in cash, Landlord's share of such non-cash consideration
shall be in such form as is reasonably satisfactory to Landlord. Such percentage
of the Transfer Premium shall be paid promptly by Tenant upon Tenant's receipt
from time to time of periodic payments from such Transferee or at such other
time as Tenant shall realize a Transfer Premium. In lieu of accepting such
percentage of the Transfer Premium, Landlord may elect in writing within ninety
(90) days after Tenant's notice, to increase the Rent hereunder during the Term
of the Transfer by an amount equal to Landlord's share of the monthly amount of
such Transfer Premium. The provisions of this Subparagraph 16.4 shall not apply
to a Transfer to an Affiliate and shall not apply to payments made by a
Transferee for (i) Tenant's customer deposits, loans and related assets; or (ii)
the FSF or Tenant's furniture, fixtures and equipment contained therein.

among other things, Tenant's (which term, for purposes hereof, shall mean the
transferring Tenant and any predecessor) liability for the Demised Premises
(including, without limitation, Rent and other sums due with respect thereto),
shall in no way be deemed to have been waived or modified so that
notwithstanding such Transfer, the Tenant, its predecessors and the Transferee
shall be jointly and severally liable with respect to the Demised Premises, (b)
such consent shall not be deemed consent to any further Transfer by either
Tenant or a Transferee, (c) as a condition thereto Tenant shall first deliver to
Landlord an original executed copy of all documentation pertaining to the
Transfer, including but not limited to an assumption agreement by the
Transferee, in form reasonably acceptable to Landlord, and (d) Tenant shall
furnish upon Landlord's request a complete statement, certified by an
independent certified public accountant, or Tenant's chief financial officer,
setting forth in detail the computation of any Transfer Premium Tenant has
derived and shall derive from such Transfer. Landlord or its authorized
representatives shall have the right at all reasonable times to audit the books,
records and papers of Tenant relating to any Transfer Premium, and shall have
the right to make copies thereof. If the Transfer Premium respecting any
Transfer shall be found understated, Tenant shall within thirty (30) days after
demand pay the deficiency, and Landlord's costs of such audit, and if
understated by more than five percent (5%), Landlord shall have the right to
cancel this Lease upon thirty (30) days notice. Any sublease hereunder shall be
subordinate and subject to the provisions of this Lease, and if this Lease shall
be terminated during the term of any sublease, Landlord shall have the right to
(i) treat such sublease as canceled and repossess the Demised Premises by any
lawful means or (ii) require that such subtenant attorn to and recognize
Landlord as its landlord under such sublease.
16.6 Landlord's Lease (if any): If this Lease is in fact a sublease,
Tenant accepts this Lease subject to all of the terms and conditions of the
underlying Lease under which Landlord holds the Store as lessee. Tenant
covenants that it will do no act or thing which would constitute a violation by
Landlord of his obligation under such underlying Lease; provided, however, that

effect that the terms of this Lease do not violate such underlying Lease.
16.7 Transfer by Landlord: In the event of the Transfer by Landlord of
its interest in this Lease to a Transferee expressly assuming Landlord's
obligation under this Lease, Landlord shall thereby be released from any further
obligations hereunder, and Tenant agrees to look solely to such Transferee of
Landlord for performance of such obligations. Any security given by Tenant to
secure performance of Tenant's obligations hereunder may be assigned and
transferred by Landlord to such Transferee, and Landlord shall thereby be
discharged of any further obligation relating thereto.

Landlord's property, and if Landlord elects to pay the same or if the assessed
value of Landlord's property is increased by inclusion of personal property and
trade fixtures placed by Tenant in the Demised Premises, and Landlord elects to
pay the taxes based on such increase, Tenant shall pay to Landlord upon demand
that part of such taxes for which Tenant is primarily liable hereunder.
17.2 Landlord's Responsibility for Taxes: Except as provided in Section
17.1, Landlord shall pay or cause to be paid all general real estate taxes,
general and special assessments, parking surcharges and
S-9
other governmental charges (hereinafter collectively referred to as the "General
Taxes") levied against the Store and the Common Area for each real estate tax
year.
17.3 Rent Taxes, etc.: If at any time during the Lease Term, a tax or
excise on rents or other tax however described (except any franchise, estate,
inheritance, capital stock, income or excess profits tax imposed upon Landlord)
is levied or assessed against Landlord by any lawful taxing authority on account
of Landlord's interest in this Lease or the Rent or other charges reserved
hereunder, as a substitute in whole or in part, or in addition to the General
Taxes described in Section 17.2 above, Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord upon
demand, and in addition to the Rent and other charges prescribed in this Lease,
the amount of such tax or excise. In the event any such tax or excise is levied
or assessed directly against Tenant, then Tenant shall be responsible for and
shall pay the same at such times and in such manner as the taxing authority
shall require.
ARTICLE XVIII. DEFAULT BY TENANT AND REMEDIES
18.1 Events of Default: The following shall be events of default by
Tenant under this Lease:
(a) Tenant shall fail to pay any installment of Rent or any other
regularly scheduled monetary obligations hereunder involving the payment of
money and such failure shall continue for a period of ten (10) days after
written notice to Tenant (or if notice of non-payment shall have been given to
Tenant within the same calendar year, such failure shall continue, whether or
not Landlord gives Tenant notice, for a period of ten (10) days).
(b) Tenant shall fail to comply with any term, provision or covenant of
this Lease other than as described in subsection (a) above and shall not cure
such failure within thirty (30) days after written notice thereof to Tenant, or,
as to makers which cannot be remedied within thirty (30) days if Tenant fails to
commence efforts to remedy such default within such thirty (30) day period and
thereafter diligently prosecute such efforts so that such default is cured
within a reasonable time.
(c) Tenant or any guarantor of Tenant's obligations under this Lease
shall become insolvent, or shall make a transfer in fraud of creditors, or shall
make an assignment for the benefit of creditors.
(d) Tenant or any guarantor of Tenant's obligations under this Lease
shall file a petition under any section or chapter of the National Bankruptcy
Act, as amended, or under any similar law or statute of the United States or any
State thereof; or Tenant or any guarantor of Tenant's obligations under this
Lease shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent in proceedings filed against
Tenant or any guarantor of Tenant's obligations under this Lease thereunder.
(e) A receiver or trustee shall be appointed for the Demised Premises
or for all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant or any guarantor of
Tenant's obligations under this Lease.
(f) Tenant shall desert or vacate or shall commence to desert or vacate
the Demised Premises or any substantial portion of the Demised Premises prior to
termination of this Lease.
(g) Tenant shall do or permit to be done anything which creates a lien
upon the Demised Premises.
18.2 Landlord's Remedies: Upon the occurrence of any such events of
default, Landlord shall have the option to pursue either of the following
alternative remedies:
(a) Without any notice or demand whatsoever, Landlord may take any one
or more of the actions permissible at law to insure performance by Tenant of
Tenant's covenants and obligations under this Lease. In this regard, it is
agreed that if Tenant deserts or vacates the Demised Premises, Landlord may
enter upon and take possession of the Demised Premises in order to protect them
from deterioration and continue to demand from Tenant the monthly rentals and
other charges provided in this Lease, without any obligation to relet; but that
if Landlord does, at its sole discretion, elect to relet the Demised Premises,
such action by Landlord shall not be deemed as an acceptance of Tenant's
surrender of the Demised Premises unless Landlord expressly notifies Tenant of
such acceptance in writing pursuant to Subsection (b) of Section 18.2 Tenant
hereby acknowledges that Landlord shall otherwise be reletting as Tenant's agent
and Tenant furthermore hereby agrees to pay to Landlord on demand any deficiency
that may arise between the monthly rentals and other charges provided in this
Lease and that actually collected by Landlord. It is further agreed in this
regard that in the event of any default described in Subsection (b) of Section
18.1, Landlord shall have the right to enter upon the Demised Premises without
being liable for prosecution of any claim for damages therefor, and do whatever
Tenant is obligated to do under the terms of this Lease; and Tenant agrees to
reimburse Landlord on demand for any expenses which Landlord may incur in thus
effecting compliance with Tenant's obligations under
S-10
this Lease; and Tenant further agrees that Landlord shall not be liable for any
damages resulting to Tenant from such action.
(b) Landlord may terminate this Lease by written notice to Tenant, in
which event Tenant shall immediately surrender the Demised Premises to Landlord,
and if Tenant fails to do so, Landlord may, without prejudice to any other
remedy which Landlord may have for possession or arrearages in Rent (including
any interest which may have accrued pursuant to Article III of this Lease),
enter upon and take possession of the Demised Premises and expel or remove
Tenant and any other person who may be occupying said premises or any part
thereof, without being liable for prosecution or any claim for damages therefor.
Landlord agrees to provide ten (10) days written notice and Tenant has ten (10)
days to correct, modify and make whole any obligation. Tenant hereby waives any
statutory requirement of prior written notice for filing eviction or damage
suits for nonpayment of Rent. In addition, Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord on
demand the amount of all loss and damage which Landlord may suffer by reason of
any termination effected pursuant to this Subsection 1 8.2(b), said loss and
damage to be determined by either of the following alternative measures of
damage.
(c) Until Landlord is able, through reasonable efforts, the nature of
which efforts shall be at the sole discretion of Landlord, to relet the Demised
Premises, Tenant shall pay to Landlord on or before the first day of each
calendar month, the Rent and other charges provided in this Lease. After the
Demised Premises have been relet by Landlord, Tenant shall pay to Landlord on
the twentieth day of each calendar month the difference between the Rent and
other charges provided in this Lease for the preceding calendar month and that
actually collected by Landlord for such month. If it is necessary for Landlord
to bring suit in order to collect a deficiency, Landlord shall have a right to
allow such deficiencies to accumulate and to bring an action on several or all
of the accrued deficiencies at one time. Any such suit shall not prejudice in
any way the right of Landlord to bring a similar action for any subsequent
deficiency or deficiencies. Any amount collected by Landlord from subsequent
tenants for any calendar month, in excess of the Rent and other charges provided
in this Lease, shall be credited to Tenant in reduction of Tenant's liability
for any calendar month for which the amount collected by Landlord will be less
than the Rent and other charges provided in this Lease; but Tenant shall have no
right to such excess other than the above described credit.
(d) When Landlord desires, Landlord may demand a final settlement. Upon
demand for a final settlement, Landlord shall have a right to, and Tenant hereby
agrees to pay, the difference between the total of all Rent and other charges
provided in this Lease for the remainder of the term and the reasonable rental
value of the Demised Premises for such period, such difference to be discounted
to present value at the rate of eight percent (8%) per annum).
(e) If Landlord elects to compute damages in the manner prescribed by
Subsection (c) above, this election shall in no way prejudice Landlord's right
at any time thereafter to demand a final settlement in accordance with
Subsection (d) above. Pursuit of any of the above remedies shall not preclude
pursuit of any other remedies prescribed in other sections of this Lease and any
other remedies provided by law. Forbearance by Landlord to enforce one or more
of the remedies herein provided upon an event of default shall not be deemed or
construed to constitute a waiver of such default.
18.3 Landlord's Expenses: It is further agreed that, in addition to
payments required pursuant to Subsections 18.2(a) and 18.2(b), Tenant shall
compensate Landlord for all expenses incurred by Landlord in repossession
(including among other expenses, any increase in Insurance Premiums caused by
the vacancy of the Demised Premises), all expenses incurred by Landlord in
reletting (including among other expenses, repairs, remodeling, replacements,
advertisements and brokerage fees), all concessions granted to a new tenant upon
reletting (including among other concessions, renewal options), all losses
incurred by Landlord as a direct or indirect result of Tenant's default
(including among other losses, any adverse reaction by Landlord's mortgagee or
by other tenants or potential tenants of the Store), and a reasonable allowance
for Landlord's administrative efforts, salaries and overhead attributable
directly or indirectly to Tenant's default and Landlord's pursuing the rights
and remedies provided herein and under applicable law. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Tenant shall not be obligated to make payments by reason of a default
in an amount exceeding the total Rent in this Lease for the remainder of the
Lease Term.
18.4 Injunction: Landlord may restrain or enjoin any breach or
threatened breach of any covenant, duty or obligation of Tenant herein contained
without the necessity of proving the inadequacy of any legal remedy or
irreparable harm. The remedies of Landlord hereunder shall be deemed cumulative
and not exclusive of each other.
18.5 Attorney's Fees: If on account of any breach or default by Tenant
in its obligations hereunder. Landlord shall employ an attorney to present,
enforce or defend any of Landlord's rights or remedies hereunder, Tenant agrees
to pay any reasonable attorney's fees incurred by Landlord in such connection.
S-11
18.6 Tenant's Insolvency: Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Lease, in the event the Tenant or its successors or assignee shall become
insolvent, bankrupt, or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or if
it or their interest hereunder shall be levied upon or sold under exeCution or
other legal process, or in the event the FSF to be operated on the Demised
Premises is closed, or is taken over by a bank supervisory authority, the
Landlord may terminate this Lease only with the concurrence of such bank
supervisory authority, and any such authority shall in any event have the
election to either continue or terminate this Lease, provided, that in the event
this Lease is terminated, the maximum claim of Landlord against such bank
supervisory authority for damages or indemnity for injury resulting from the
rejection or abandonment of the unexpired lease shall in no event be in an
amount exceeding the Rent reserved by this Lease, without acceleration, for the
year next succeeding the date of the surrender of the Demised Premises to the
Landlord, or the date of re-entry of the Landlord, whichever first occurs,
whether before or after the closing of the FSF, plus an amount equal to the
unpaid Rent accrued without acceleration up to such date. This paragraph shall
limit the liability of the FDIC but not affect Landlord's other rights or
remedies under law.
ARTICLE XIX. LANDLORD'S CONTRACTUAL SECURITY INTEREST
19.1 Landlord's Security Interest: In addition to the statutory
Landlord's Lien, Landlord shall have at all times a valid security interest to
secure payment of Rent and other sums of money becoming due hereunder from
Tenant and to secure payment of any damages or losses which Landlord may suffer
by reason of the breach by Tenant of any covenant, agreement or condition
contained herein, upon all goods, wares, equipment, fixtures, furniture,
improvements and other tangible personal property of Tenant presently, or which
may hereafter be, situated on the Demised Premises, and all proceeds therefrom,
and such property shall not be removed without the consent of Landlord until all
arrearages in Rent as well as any and all other sums of money then due to
Landlord or to become due to Landlord hereunder shall first have been paid and
discharged and ail the covenants, agreements and conditions hereof have been
fully complied with and performed by Tenant. Upon the occurrence of an event of
default by Tenant, Landlord may, in addition to any other remedies provided,
enter upon the Demised Premises and take possession of any and all goods, wares,
equipment, fixtures, furniture, improvements and other tangible personal
property of Tenant situated on the Demised Premises, without liability for
trespass or conversion, and sell the same at public or private sale, with or
without having such property at the sale, after giving Tenant reasonable notice
of the time and place of any public sale or of the time after which any private
sale is to be made, at which sale Landlord or its assigns may purchase unless
otherwise prohibited by law. Unless otherwise provided by law, and without
intending to exclude any other manner of giving Tenant reasonable notice, the
requirement of reasonable notice shall be met if such notice is given in the
manner prescribed in this Lease at least seven (7) days before the time of sale.
Any sale made pursuant to the provision of this paragraph shall be deemed to
have been a public sale conducted in a commercially reasonable manner if held in
the above-described premises or where the property is located after the time,
and place and method of sale and a general description of the types of property
to be sold have been advertised in a daily newspaper published in the county in
which the property is located for five (5) consecutive days before the date of
the sale. The proceeds from any such disposition, less any and all expenses
connected with the taking of possession, holding and selling of the property
(including reasonable attorney's fees and legal expenses), shall be applied as a
credit against the indebtedness secured by the security interest granted in this
paragraph. Any surplus shall be paid to Tenant or as otherwise required by law;
Tenant shall pay any deficiencies forthwith. Upon request by Landlord, Tenant
agrees to execute and deliver to Landlord a financing statement in form
sufficient to perfect the security interest of Landlord in the aforementioned
property and proceeds thereof under the provision of the Uniform Commercial Code
(or corresponding state statute or statutes) in force in the state in which the
property is located, as well as any other state the laws of which Landlord may
at any time consider to be applicable.
19.2 Subordination of Landlord's Security Interest: Notwithstanding
Section 19.1, (i) Landlord agrees that it will subordinate its security interest
and Landlord's Lien to the security interest of Tenant's supplier or
institutional financial source, provided that Landlord approves the transaction
as being reasonably necessary for Tenant's operations at the Demised Premises,
and further provided that the subordination must be limited to a specified
transaction and specified items of the fixtures, equipment or inventory involved
in the transaction. and (ii) Landlord agrees that its lien shall be limited to
Tenant's equipment, fixture, furniture, improvements and other personal property
of tenant situated on the Demised Premises and shall not apply to banking
records, money, accounts, deposits or any property of Tenant's customers.
ARTICLE XX. HOLDING OVER
20.1 Holdover Status: In the event Tenant remains in possession of the
Demised Premises after the expiration of this Lease and without the execution of
a new lease, it shall be deemed to be occupying the Demised Premises as a tenant
from month to month at a monthly rental rate equal to the current Rent plus
other charges herein provided plus fifty percent (50%) of such amount and
otherwise subject to all the conditions, provisions and obligations of this
Lease insofar as the same are applicable to a month to month tenancy.
S-12
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Landlord and Tenant are engaged in good faith
negotiations to extend the term of the lease or to enter into a new lease,
Tenant shall be permitted to continue paying monthly rental at a rate equal to
the current Rent, without the fifty percent (50%) additional charge, while such
negotiations continue; provided, however, that in the event Landlord and Tenant
do not extend the term of this Lease or enter into a new Lease within three (3)
months after termination of this Lease, Landlord may, at any time, require
Tenant to commence paying Rent plus fifty percent (50%) of such amount as set
forth in this Section 20.1.
ARTICLE XXI. SUBORDINATION AND ATTORNMENT
21.1 Mortgages, etc.: Tenant accepts this Lease subject and subordinate
to any mortgage, deed of trust or other lien presently existing or hereafter
placed upon the Demised Premises or the Store and Common Area as a whole and to
any renewals and extensions thereof. Tenant agrees that any such mortgagee shall
have the right at any time to subordinate such mortgage, deed of trust or other
lien to this Lease; provided, however, notwithstanding that this Lease may be
(or made to be) superior to mortgage, deed of trust or other lien, the
provisions of mortgage, deed of trust or other lien relative to the rights of
the mortgagee with respect to proceeds arising from an eminent domain taking
(including a voluntary conveyance by Landlord) and/or arising from insurance
payable by reason of damage to or destruction of the Demised Premises shall be
prior and superior to any contrary provisions contained in this instrument with
respect to the payment or usage thereof. Landlord is hereby irrevocably vested
with full power and authority to subordinate this Lease to any mortgage, deed
of trust or other lien hereafter placed upon the Demised Premises or the Store
and Common Area as a whole, and Tenant agrees upon demand to execute such
further instruments subordinating this Lease as Landlord may request; provided,
however, that upon Tenant's written request and notice to Landlord, Landlord
shall use good faith efforts to obtain from any such mortgagee a written
agreement that the rights of Tenant shall remain in full force and effect during
the Lease Term as long as Tenant shall continue to recognize and perform all of
the covenants and conditions of this Lease.
21.2 Notice to Mortgagee: At any time when the holder of an outstanding
mortgage, deed of trust or other lien covering Landlord's interest in the
Demised Premises has given Tenant written notice of its interest in this Lease,
Tenant may not exercise any remedies for default by Landlord hereunder unless
and until the holder of the indebtedness secured by such mortgage, deed of trust
or other lien shall have received written notice of such default and a
reasonable time for curing such default shall thereafter have elapsed.
21.3 Estoppel Certificates: Tenant agrees that it will from time to
time upon request by Landlord execute and deliver to Landlord a written

that the same is in full force and effect as so modified), shall confirm that
Landlord is not in default as to any obligations of Landlord under this Lease
(or if Landlord is in default, specifying any default), shall confirm Tenant's
agreements contained above in this Article XXI, shall confirm the Commencement
and Termination Dates of this Lease, and shall contain such other information or
confirmations as Landlord may reasonably require. Landlord is hereby irrevocably
appointed and authorized as the agent and attorney-in-fact of Tenant to execute
and deliver any such written statement on Tenant's behalf if Tenant fails to do
so within seven (7) days after the delivery of a written request from Landlord
to Tenant. Landlord may treat such failure as an event of default.
21.4 Attornment: Tenant shall attorn to and be bound to any of
Landlord's successors under all the terms, covenants and conditions of this
Lease for the balance of any remaining Lease Term.
ARTICLE XXII. NOTICES & CORRESPONDENCE

delivered hereunder shall be deemed to be delivered when actually received or
rejected by the designated addressee and shall be given by United States

national courier (such as Federal Express), addressed to the parties hereto at
the respective addresses set forth above, or such other addresses as may be

there are in effect, and may hereafter be enacted or put into effect, federal,
state, county and municipal laws, orders, rules, directives and regulations
(collectively referred to hereinafter as the "Regulations"), relating to or
affecting the Demised Premises or the Store and Common Area, and concerning the
impact on the environment of construction, land use, maintenance and operation
of structures, and conduct of business. Subject to the express rights granted to
Tenant under the terms of this Lease, Tenant will not cause, or permit to be
caused, any act or practice, by negligence, omission, or otherwise, that would
adversely affect the environment, or do anything to permit
S-13
anything to be done that would violate any Regulations. Moreover, Tenant shall
have no claim against Landlord by reason of any changes Landlord may make in the
Store, Common Area or the Demised Premises which may be required to comply with
such Regulations.
23.2 Applications: Tenant shall file applications with the appropriate
regulatory authorities for authority to establish a branch office in the Demised
Premises and shall keep Landlord advised of the processing of the applications.
The obligations of the Tenant under this Lease are subject to the condition
precedent that the Tenant shall receive authority to establish a branch office
to the Demised Premises. In the event such authority is not received on or
before the Targeted Commencement Date, either Landlord or Tenant shall have the
right, upon notice to the other, to terminate this Lease. In such event, neither
party hereto shall have any further rights, duties or obligations hereunder.
ARTICLE XXIV. MISCELLANEOUS
24.1 No Partnership: Nothing herein contained shall be deemed or
construed by the parties hereto, nor by any third party, as creating the
relationship of principal and agent or of partnership or of joint venture
between the parties hereto, it being understood and agreed that neither the
method of computation of Rent, nor any other provision contained herein, nor any
acts of the parties hereto, shall be deemed to create any relationship between
the parties hereto other than the relationship of Landlord and Tenant.
24.2 No Offset: Tenant shall not for any reason withhold or reduce
Tenant's required payments of Rent and other charges provided in this Lease, it
being agreed that the obligations of Landlord hereunder are independent of
Tenant's obligations except as may be otherwise expressly provided. In this
regard it is specifically understood and agreed that in the event Landlord
commences any proceedings against Tenant for nonpayment of Rent or any other sum
due and payable by Tenant hereunder, Tenant will not interpose any counterclaim
or other claim against Landlord of whatever nature or description in any such
proceedings (other than a compulsory counterclaim under Rule 13(a) of the
Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, or any analogous rule in a state court
proceeding); and in the event that Tenant interposes any such counterclaim or
other claim against Landlord in such proceedings, Landlord and Tenant stipulate
and agree that, in addition to any other lawful remedy of Landlord, upon motion
of Landlord, such counterclaim or other claim asserted by Tenant shall be
severed from the proceedings instituted by Landlord. Landlord may proceed to
final judgment separately and apart from and without consolidation with or
reference to the status of such counterclaim or any other claim asserted by
Tenant.
24.3 Landlord's Liability: The liability of Landlord to Tenant for any
default by Landlord under the terms of this Lease shall be limited to the
greater of (i) two million dollars ($2,000,000.00) or (ii) the proceeds of sale
on execution of the interest of Landlord in the Store. Landlord shall remain
personally liable to account to Tenant for any security deposited hereunder.
This clause shall not be deemed to limit or deny any remedies which Tenant may
have in the event of default by Landlord hereunder, which do not involve the
personal liability of Landlord.
24.4 Consents: Any clause referring to Landlord approval refers to
written consent. Except as may be otherwise herein provided, in all
circumstances under this Lease where prior consent or permission of one party
("First Party"), whether it be Landlord or Tenant, is required before the other
party ("Second Party") is authorized to take any particular type of action, the
matter of whether to grant such consent or permission shall be within the sole
and exclusive judgment and discretion of the First Party; and it shall not
constitute any nature of breach by the First Party hereunder or any defense to
the performance of any covenant, duty or obligation of the Second Party
hereunder that the First Party delayed or withheld the granting of such consent
or permission, whether or not the delay or withholding of such consent or
permission was, in the opinion of the Second Party, prudent or reasonable or
based on good cause.
24.5 Waivers: One or more waivers of any covenant, term, or condition
of this Lease by either party shall not be construed as a waiver of a subsequent
breach of the same covenant, term or condition. The consent or approval by
either party to or of any act by the other party requiring such consent or
approval shall not be deemed to waive or render unnecessary consent to or
approval of any subsequent similar act.
24.6 Force Majeure: Whenever a period of time is herein prescribed for
an action to be taken, the party required to take such action (other than
payment of money) shall not be liable or responsible for, and there shall be
excluded from the computation of any such period of time, any delays due to
strikes, riots, acts of God, shortages of labor or materials, war, governmental
laws, regulations or restrictions or any other causes of any kind whatsoever
which are beyond the reasonable control of such party.
24 7 Governing Law: The laws of the state in which the Demised Premises
are located shall govern the interpretation, validity, performance and
enforcement of this Lease. If any provision of this Lease should be
S-14
held to be invalid or unenforceable, the validity and enforceability of the
remaining provisions of this Lease shall not be affected thereby. Venue for any
action under this Lease shall be the county in which the Store is located.
24.8 Captions: The captions used herein are for convenience only and do
not limit or amplify the provisions hereof.

signed by the party against whom enforcement of such change, modification or
termination is sought. Landlord and Tenant hereby acknowledge that they are not
relying on any representation or promise I of the other, except as may be
expressly set forth in this Lease. Oral agreements in conflict with any of the
terms of this Lease shall be without force and effect.
24.12 Exhibits: This Lease consists of twenty-four (24) Articles and
Exhibits A through D (any space left blank will be deemed to have been completed

period is required by federal or state law, or unless this Lease is transferred

installed at the store location. Photographs of the sign shall accompany the
letter.
4. NEW STORES, RELOCATIONS AND EXPANSIONS. The Wal-Mart Vestibule
Leasing Department will coordinate approval of the Tenant signage projects. The
Tenant will be allowed to begin the permitting process for its sign after the
Wal-Mart signing package has been approved. NOTE: WAL-MART SIGNAGE WILL WAVE
PRIORITY AT ALL PROJECTS. The Vestibule Leasing Department will notify the
Tenant of the proper date to begin its permitting process. This date is likely
to be on, or within a few days of, the announced possession date of the store,
which is usually 3 months prior to the opening of the store. The Tenant will be
responsible for all permitting and sign costs. The Tenant shall supply the
Wal-Mart Vestibule Leasing Department with a confirmation letter stating that
the Tenant sign has been installed at the store location. Photographs of the
sign shall accompany the letter.
5. RESTRICTIONS. No other Tenant signage, such as flags, floor decals,
road signs, road-sign banners, banners hanging on outside of building, shopping
cart signs, etc. will be permitted. All signage ideas must be submitted to and
approved by the Wal-Mart Vestibule Leasing Department before they can be
considered for being part of the Tenant signage in any store.
THIS IS THE APPROVED WAL-MART/BANK BRANCH SIGNAGE PACKAGE. NO ADDITIONAL SIGNAGE
