the east of the Leased Premises to accommodate drive up teller lanes. If the
City makes said land available for purchase or lease as a drive up, then
Landlord shall submit a proposal to Tenant containing additional lease terms
(including additional rent and construction costs responsibilities) in relation
thereto. Tenant shall then decide whether or not to proceed with the
installation of the drive-up facility and to add such property to this Lease and
the Leased Premises described herein. Nothing contained herein shall obligate
Landlord to provide or make available a drive-up facility at any time during
this Lease and the failure to provide same shall not constitute a breach of
Landlord's obligations under this Lease.
7.8 Surrender of the Leased Premises. Upon the termination of this Lease
--------------------------------
whether by forfeiture, lapse of time, or otherwise, or upon the termination of
Tenant's rights to possession of the Leased Premises, Tenant will at once
surrender and deliver up to Landlord possession of the Leased Premises together
with all improvements thereon in good condition and repair, ordinary wear and
tear excepted. Said improvements shall include all plumbing, lighting,
electrical, heating, cooling and ventilating fixtures and equipment and other
articles of personal property used in the operation of the Leased Premises (as
distinguished from the Trade Fixtures which are used in the operation of
Tenant's business). All additions, hardware, non-trade fixtures and
improvements to the Leased Premises shall become Landlord's property and shall
remain upon the Leased Premises, without compensation to Tenant, unless Landlord
requests their removal in writing at the time of approval of installation (if
applicable). Upon termination of this Lease, the Tenant agrees to deliver to
Landlord all of the keys to the Leased Premises.
The Tenant may remove Tenant's Trade Fixtures from the Leased Premises
provided, however, that Tenant shall repair any injury to or damage to the
Leased Premises caused by the removal of its Trade Fixtures. In the event that
Tenant fails to remove its Trade Fixtures, Landlord may, at its option, remove
the same and deliver the same to any other place of business of Tenant or
warehouse the same, and Tenant shall be responsible for paying the cost of said
removal, including the cost of repairing any damage to the Leased Premises
resulting from such removal, delivery and warehousing, to Landlord on demand.
7.9 Holding Over. Any holding over by Tenant of the Leased Premises after
------------
the expiration of this Lease shall operate and be construed to be a tenancy from
month to month only at the same monthly rate of rent and other charges payable
hereunder for the Lease Term. If the parties are not then engaged in bona fide
negotiations to renew or to extend the Lease, and if Tenant continues to hold
over after a written demand by Landlord for possession at the expiration of the
Lease Term or after termination by either party of a month-to-month tenancy
created pursuant to this paragraph, then Tenant shall pay Monthly Rent at a rate
equal to double the rate of Monthly Rent for the month immediately prior to the
hold over period. Nothing contained in this section shall be
11
construed to give Tenant a right to hold over at any time, and Landlord may
exercise any and all remedies at law or in equity to recover possession of the
Leased Premises.
7.10 Mechanic's Liens. Tenant will not permit any mechanic's lien or
----------------
liens (other than those caused by the acts of Landlord) to be placed upon the
Leased Premises or the Real Property or any building or improvement thereon
during the term hereof, and in case of filing of any such lien, Tenant shall
promptly pay for or cause a title company to bond over same. Tenant shall have
the right to contest any such lien provided that Tenant pursues such contest
diligently, such contest does not result in the forfeiture of the Property, and
Tenant posts adequate security with a title company or Landlord therefor. If
Tenant fails promptly to pay for or bond over any such lien, Landlord, at its
option, after notice to Tenant and opportunity to cure as provided herein, may
pay for said lien, and any amounts so paid, including expenses and interest,
shall become so much Additional Rent hereunder due from Tenant to Landlord and
shall be paid to Landlord immediately.
7.11 Alterations. Tenant shall not make any material changes or
-----------
structural alterations to the Leased Premises, without first obtaining the
Landlord's written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld,
delayed or conditioned. Upon the completion of any such changes or alterations,
Tenant shall provide Landlord with such documents as Landlord may require
(including, without limitation, Sworn Contractor's Statements and supporting
lien waivers) evidencing payment in full for such work. Any such changes or
alterations must be made in accordance with applicable building codes or other
governmental regulations.
ARTICLE 8. INSURANCE.
---------
As Additional Rent, Tenant shall procure and maintain, during the term of
this Lease, policies of insurance at Tenant's own cost and expense insuring the
following:
1. Landlord and Tenant from all claims, demands or actions for injury
to or death of any person in an amount of not less than $3,000,000.00, for
injury to or death of more than one person in any one occurrence in an
amount of not less than $3,000,000.00, and for damage to property in an
amount of not less then $1,000,000.00 made by, or on behalf of, any person
or persons, firm or corporation arising from, related to, or connected with
Tenant's use or occupancy of the Leased Premises.
2. Landlord and Tenant from all worker's compensation claims;
3. All contents, and all of Tenant's personal property and Trade
Fixtures, machinery, equipment and furniture and furnishings contained in
the Leased Premises to the extent of at least ninety percent (90%) of their
replacement cost under the standard fire and extended coverage insurance,
including without limitation to, vandalism and malicious mischief and
sprinkler leakage endorsements.
The aforesaid insurance shall be issued by companies and in form,
substance, and amount (where not stated above) reasonably satisfactory to
Landlord and any mortgagee of Landlord, and shall contain standard mortgage
clauses satisfactory to Landlord's mortgagee. Each such policy shall name
Landlord and its individual members as additional insureds. The aforesaid
insurance
12
shall not be subject to cancellation except after at least thirty (30) days
prior written notice to Landlord and any mortgagee of Landlord. Duplicate
original policies (or certificates thereof satisfactory to Landlord) together
with satisfactory evidence of payment of the premiums thereon shall be deposited
with Landlord at the Commencement Date and renewals thereof not less than thirty
(30) days prior to the end of the term of such coverage. If Tenant fails to pay
the premiums on any of said insurance policies, then after ten (10) days' notice
to Tenant and opportunity to cure, Landlord may at its option pay said premiums,
and any payments made by Landlord shall constitute Additional Rent which shall
become immediately due and payable.
ARTICLE 9. INDEMNITY FOR ACCIDENTS.
-----------------------
Tenant covenants and agrees that it will protect and save and keep the
Landlord forever harmless and indemnified against any penalty or damages or
charges imposed for any violation of any laws or ordinances, or any civil claim
with respect to the Leased Premises which occurs during the Lease Term or any
holdover period, whether occasioned by the neglect of Tenant or those holding
under Tenant, but not for any actions or inactions of the Landlord or its
agents, servants, employees, contractors, licensees, guests, invitees or other
tenants. Pursuant to said obligation, Tenant will at all times protect,
indemnify and save and keep harmless the Landlord against and from any and all
loss, costs, damage or expense, including reasonable attorney's fees, arising
out of and from any accident or other occurrence on or about the Leased Premises
causing injury to any person or property whomsoever or whatsoever and will
protect, indemnify, and save and keep harmless the Landlord against and from any
and all claims and against and from any and all loss, costs, damage or expense
arising out of any failure of Tenant in any respect to comply with and perform
all of the requirements and provisions hereof.
Likewise, Landlord covenants and agrees that it will protect and save
Tenant forever harmless and indemnified against any penalty or damages or
charges imposed as a result of any violation of any laws or ordinances or any
civil claim with respect to the Property (other than those with respect to the
Leased Premises), whether occasioned by Landlord's or its agents', servants',
employees', contractors', guests', or invitees' (excluding other tenants')
negligent or unlawful conduct or intentional acts or omissions other than such
guests' or invitees' criminal acts.
ARTICLE 10. FIRE AND CASUALTY.
-----------------
In the event that the Leased Premises shall be rendered substantially
untenantable or unsuitable for Tenant's purposes during the term of this Lease
by fire or other casualty, Landlord at its option may terminate this Lease
effective as of the date of such casualty or Landlord may elect to repair the
Leased Premises. If Landlord elects to repair this Lease will remain in effect
provided that such repairs are promptly commenced, diligently pursued and
completed in a timely manner but not more than 180 days after the date of the
fire or other casualty. If more than 40% of the Leased Premises is rendered
substantially untenantable or unsuitable by fire or casualty and Landlord does
not complete the repair and restoration thereof within said 180 days, then
Tenant may terminate this Lease effective as of the date of such fire or
casualty. If this Lease is terminated by reason of fire or casualty as herein
specified, monthly Base Rent and Additional Rent shall be apportioned and paid
to the day of such fire or other casualty. During any time period that the
Leased Premises is
13
untenantable, rent will ▇▇▇▇▇ if the cause of the casualty is not the result of
Tenant's negligent acts or omissions.
Whenever (a) any loss, cost, damage or expense resulting from fire,
exploding or any other casualty or occurrence is incurred by either of the
parties to this Lease in connection with the Leased Premises, and (b) such party
is then covered in whole or in part by insurance with respect to such loss,
cost, damage or expense, then the party so insured hereby releases the other
party from any liability it may have on account of such loss, cost, damage or
expense to the extent of any amount recovered by reason of such insurance and
waives any right of subrogation which might otherwise exist in or accrue to any
person on account thereof, provided that such release of liability and waiver of
the right of subrogation shall not be operative in any case where the effect
thereof is to invalidate such insurance overage or increase the cost thereof.
ARTICLE 11. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.
------------------------
11.1 Subordination. This Lease is subordinate and shall be subordinate to
-------------
any and all mortgages which may now or hereafter affect the Leased Premises.
11.2 Assignment and Subletting. Tenant shall not, without Landlord's prior
-------------------------
written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or
conditioned), assign, convey or mortgage this Lease or any interest in the
Leased Premises or sublet any and all or part of the Leased Premises.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Tenant shall be permitted to
assign this Lease in whole, but not in part, to any parent, subsidiary or other
entity affiliated with Tenant or to any survivor of any merger or consolidation
with or reorganization of Tenant.
11.3 Abandonment and Reletting. If Tenant shall abandon or vacate the
-------------------------
Leased Premises, or if Tenant's right to occupy the Leased Premises shall be
terminated by Landlord by reason of Tenant's breach of any of the covenants
herein, the same may be relet by Landlord (acting reasonably) for such rent and
upon such terms as Landlord may deem fit, and if a sufficient sum shall not thus
be realized monthly, after paying expenses of such reletting and collecting to
satisfy the rent hereby reserved, Tenant agrees to satisfy and pay all
deficiencies monthly during the remaining term of this Lease.
11.4 Rights Reserved to Landlord. During the term of this Lease the
---------------------------
Landlord shall possess, the following rights:
1. Upon reasonable notice to Tenant, to inspect the Leased Premises
and to make repairs, additions or alterations to the Leased Premises
required by the terms of this Lease;
2. In the event of an emergency, to enter the Leased Premises without
notice to Tenant and to take any reasonable steps necessary in order to
eliminate said emergency.
3. During the last six months of the Lease Term (if not renewed or
extended by Tenant), to place and maintain a "For Rent" sign on the Leased
Premises; and
14
4. To show the Leased Premises to prospective purchasers, mortgagees
or other persons having a legitimate interest in viewing the same and to
place and maintain a "For Sale" sign on the Property.
5. To install an elevator in the west lobby area, at Landlord's
expense if Landlord elects to do so.
11.5 Default. In the event that Tenant defaults on any of the covenants or
-------
provisions contained in this Lease, Landlord shall give Tenant written notice of
such default and 10 days' opportunity to cure in the case of a monetary default
or 30 days opportunity to cure in the case of a non-monetary default, provided
that if such default cannot reasonably be cured within a 30 day period and if
Tenant has commenced and is diligently proceeding to cure such default, Tenant
shall be given a reasonable period of time to cure such default. If any such
default remains uncured after the aforesaid time period, then Landlord at its
election may terminate this Lease or terminate Tenant's right to possession
only, without terminating the Lease. Upon termination of this Lease or Tenant's
right of possession, Landlord may re-enter the Leased Premises without process
of law and remove all persons, fixtures, and property therefrom, and Landlord
shall not be liable for any damages resulting therefrom. Upon the termination
of the Lease, or upon termination of Tenant's right of possession without
termination of the Lease, the Tenant shall surrender possession and vacate the
Leased Premises immediately, and deliver possession thereof to the Landlord, and
hereby grants to Landlord the full and free right to enter upon the Leased
Premises and to repossess the Leased Premises as Landlord's former estate and to
expel or remove the Tenant and any others who may be occupying or within the
Leased Premises without relinquishing the Landlord's rights to rent or any other
right given to Landlord hereunder or by operation of law.
In the event that Tenant breaches any of the provisions or covenants of
this Lease, Landlord shall be entitled to recover as damages, all rent and other
sums due and payable by Tenant as well as the cost of performing any covenants
to be performed by Tenant. Furthermore, Landlord shall be entitled to recover
any court costs or attorney's fees incurred as a result of Tenant's breach.
The rights and remedies of Landlord under this Lease are cumulative. The
exercise or use of any one or more thereof shall not bar the Landlord from
exercise or use of any other right or remedy provided herein or otherwise
provided by law, nor shall the exercise nor the use of any right or remedy by
Landlord waive any other right or remedy.
11.6 Successors. All covenants and agreements contained herein shall be
----------
binding upon and inure to, the respective rights of Landlord or Tenant or their
successors, heirs, executors, administrators or assigns.
11.7 Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Lease will be
------------
interpreted in a manner so as to be effective and valid under applicable law,
but if any provision of this Lease shall be prohibited by or be held invalid
under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such
prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provisions
or the remaining provisions of this Lease.
15
11.8 Estoppel Certificates. Tenant shall from time to time, upon not less
---------------------
then ten (10) business days prior written request from Landlord, execute,
acknowledge and deliver to Landlord in a form reasonably satisfactory to
Landlord or Landlord's mortgagee a written statement certifying, if true, that
Tenant has accepted the Leased Premises, 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 modified and stating the modifications), that the
Landlord is not in default hereunder, the date to which the rental or other
charges have been paid in advance, if any, or such other accurate certification
as may be reasonably required by Landlord or Landlord's mortgagee. It is
intended that any such statement delivered pursuant to this section may be
relied upon by any prospective purchaser or mortgagee of the Leased Premises,
and its respective successors and assigns.

----------
Lease, to be kept and performed by either party shall in any manner be altered,
waived, modified, changed or abandoned except by a written instrument, duly
signed, acknowledged and delivered by both parties.
