			﻿
		

		
			THIS AGREEMENT is made and entered into this 23rd day of December, 2015, by and among Embassy Bank for the Lehigh Valley (hereinafter referred to as the “Bank”), a bank organized and existing under the laws of Pennsylvania, and James R. Bartholomew (hereinafter referred to as the “Employee”).
		

		
			﻿
		

		
			WHEREAS, the Employee has performed his duties in an efficient and capable manner; and
		

		
			﻿
		

		
			WHEREAS, the Bank is desirous of retaining the services of the Employee; and
		

		
			﻿
		

		
			WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Bank has approved the adoption of a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan as described in this Agreement (the “Plan”); and
		

		
			﻿
		

		
			WHEREAS, the Employee has been selected to participate in the Plan; and
		

		
			﻿
		

		
			WHEREAS, the Bank and the Employee are parties to an Amended and Restated Supplemental Benefit Plan Agreement dated November 19, 2010 (the “Original Agreement”); and
		

		
			﻿
		

		
			WHEREAS, the Bank desires to provide Employee with supplemental benefits in addition to those provided in the Original Agreement, on the terms and conditions set forth herein.
		

		
			﻿
		

		
			NOW, THEREFORE, for value received and in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein, the parties agree as follows: 
		

		
			﻿
		

		
			1.Normal Retirement Supplemental Pension
		

		
			﻿
		

		
			a.The Bank hereby agrees with the Employee that the Employee may retire upon attaining age seventy (70), such age hereinafter being called the “Normal Retirement Age.”
		

		
			﻿
		

		
			b.Upon the Employee’s retirement on or after Normal Retirement Age, the Bank shall pay the Employee a supplemental annual pension equal to $7,500, such amount being referred to herein as the “Normal Retirement Supplemental Pension,” payable in equal monthly installments and continuing for a period of fifteen (15) years.
		

		
			﻿
		

		
			2.Early Retirement or Termination
		

		
			﻿
		

		
			a.If the Employee retires or his or her employment with the Bank is otherwise terminated subsequent to attaining age sixty-sixty (66), but prior to attaining Normal Retirement Age, then the Bank shall pay the Employee a supplemental annual pension in the amount

						100%

					
					
						 

				

		
			﻿
		

		
			﻿
		

		
			3.Death or Disability
		

		
			﻿
		

		
			a.Upon the death of the Employee while actively employed, the Bank shall pay to the Employee’s designated beneficiary the Normal Retirement Supplemental Pension, payable in equal monthly installments commencing on the first business day of the month following the month in which the Employee dies and continuing for a period of fifteen (15) years.
		

		
			﻿
		

		
			b.Upon the death of the Employee while receiving any supplemental pension benefits as provided in this Agreement, the Bank shall pay to the Employee’s designated beneficiary the remaining payments which would have otherwise been due the Employee.
		

		
			﻿
		

		
			c.If the Employee becomes permanently “disabled” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations promulgated thereunder, and ceases employment with the Bank as a result of such disability, the Employee will be treated as actively employed, for purposes of this Agreement, while such disability continues.  In such event, the Bank shall pay to the Employee the Normal Retirement Supplemental Pension in equal monthly installments commencing upon the Employee’s attainment of Normal Retirement Age and continuing for a period of fifteen (15) years.
		

		
			﻿
		

		
			d.If the Employee shall have failed to make an effective designation of beneficiary, or if the individual or individuals so designated shall die prior to receiving all payments required to made to them hereunder and there is no designated alternate beneficiary, then in such event the remaining payments shall be made first to the Employee’s surviving spouse, second the Employee’s surviving children, equally per stirpes if there is no surviving spouse, and finally to the estate of the Employee if there are neither a surviving spouse nor surviving children.
		

		
			﻿
		

		
			4.Assignment
		

		
			﻿
		

		
			Except as otherwise provided herein, it is understood that neither the Employee, nor any person designated by him pursuant to this Agreement, shall have any right to commute, sell, assign, transfer or otherwise convey the right to receive payments to be made hereunder, which payments and the right thereto are expressly declared to be non-assignable and non-transferable.  If such assignment or transfer is attempted, the Bank may disregard it and continue to discharge its obligations hereunder as though such assignment or transfer were not attempted.
		

		

		

		 

 

		﻿
		

		
			5.Independent Arrangement
		

		
			﻿
		

		
			The benefits payable under this Agreement shall be independent of, and in addition to, any other agreement which may exist from time to time between the parties hereto, or any other compensation payable by the Employee’s employer.  This Agreement shall not be deemed to constitute a contract of employment between the parties hereto, nor shall any provisions hereof restrict the right of the Employee’s employer to discharge the Employee or restrict the right of the Employee to terminate his or her employment.
		

		
			﻿
		

		
			6.Non-Trust or Fiduciary Obligation
		

		
			﻿
		

		
			a.The rights of the Employee under this Agreement and of any beneficiary of the Employee or of any other person who may acquire such rights shall be solely those of an unsecured creditor of the Bank.  Any insurance policy on the life of the Employee or any other asset acquired by the Bank in connection with the obligations assumed by it hereunder shall not be deemed to be held under any trust for the benefit of the Employee or his or her beneficiaries or to be security for the performance of the obligations of the Bank, but shall be, and remain, a general, unpledged, unrestricted asset of the Bank.
		

		
			﻿
		

		
			b.Nothing contained in the Agreement and no action taken pursuant to the provisions of the Agreement shall create or be construed to create a trust of any kind, or a fiduciary relationship between the Bank and the Employee or his or her beneficiaries.
		

		
			﻿
		

		
			7.Change of Control
		

		
			﻿
		

		
			a.If the Employee’s employment with the Bank is involuntarily terminated within two years after a “Change in Control” (as defined below) of the Employee’s employer, payment hereunder will commence immediately in an amount equal to the amount which would have been payable as though Employee retired from service with the Bank upon attaining Normal Retirement Age.
		

		
			﻿
		

		
			b.As used herein, the term “Change of Control” shall mean a change in the ownership or effective control applicable to the Bank or Embassy Bancorp, Inc., as described in Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(v) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
		

		
			﻿
		

		
			8.Arbitration
		

		
			﻿
		

		
			a.Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be settled by arbitration in accordance with Rules of the American Arbitration Association, and judgment upon the award rendered by an arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
		

		
			﻿
		

		
			b.The parties hereby submit themselves and consent to the jurisdiction of the Courts of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and further consent that any process or notice of motion, or other application of the Court, or any Judge thereof, may be served outside the 
		

		 

 

		Commonwealth of Pennsylvania by certified mail or by personal service provided that a reasonable time for appearance is allowed.  The arbitrators in any such controversy shall have no authority or power to modify or alter any express condition or provision of this Agreement or to render an award which has the effect of altering or modifying any express condition or provision hereof.
		

		
			﻿
		

		
			9.Excise Tax Adjustment    
		

		
			﻿
		

		
			Should the total of all amounts or benefits payable under this Agreement, together with any other payments which Employee has a right to receive from the Bank, any affiliates or subsidiaries of the Bank, or any successors of any of the foregoing, result in the imposition of an excise tax under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code (or any successor thereto), Employee shall be entitled to an additional “excise tax” adjustment payment in an amount such that, after the payment of all federal and state income and excise taxes, Employee will be in the same after-tax position as if no excise tax had been imposed.  Any payment or benefit which is required to be included under Sections 280G or 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code (or any successor provisions thereto) for purposes of determining whether an excise tax is payable shall be deemed a payment “made to Employee” or a payment “which Employee has a right to receive” for purposes of this provision.  The Bank (or its successor) shall be responsible for the costs of calculation of the deductibility of payments and benefits and the excise tax by the Bank’s independent certified accountant and tax counsel and shall notify Employee of the amount of excise tax prior to the time such excise tax is due.  If at any time it is determined that the additional “excise tax” adjustment payment previously made to Employee was insufficient to cover the effect of the excise tax, the gross-up payment pursuant to this provision shall be increased to make Employee whole, including an amount to cover the payment of any penalties resulting from any incorrect or late payment of the excise tax resulting from the prior calculation. All amounts required to be paid pursuant to this paragraph shall be paid at the time any withholding may be required (or, if earlier, the time Employee shall be required to pay such amounts) under applicable law, and any additional amounts to which Employee may be entitled shall be paid or reimbursed no later than fifteen (15) days following confirmation of such amount by the Bank’s independent certified accountant provided, however, that any payments to be made under this paragraph shall in all events be made no later than the end of Employee’s taxable year next following the taxable year in which the Employee remits such excise tax payments.  The parties recognize that the actual implementation of the provisions of this paragraph are complex and agree to deal with each other in good faith to resolve any questions or disagreements arising hereunder.
		

		
			﻿
		

		
			10.Competition after Termination of Employment 
		

		
			a.Forfeiture of Benefits.  Employee shall forfeit his right to any benefits under this Agreement and the Original Agreement if Employee, without the prior written consent of Bank, violates the restrictive covenant described in Section 10(b).
		

		
			b.Non-Competition and Non Solicitation. Employee hereby acknowledges and recognizes the highly competitive nature of the business of the Bank and accordingly agrees that, during the period the Employee has the right to receive payment pursuant to this Agreement or the Original Agreement, Employee shall not:
		

		

		

		 

 

		(1)be engaged (other than by Bank), directly or indirectly, either for his own account or as agent, consultant, employee, partner, officer, director, proprietor, investor (except as an investor owning less than 5% of the stock of a publicly owned company) or otherwise of any person, firm, corporation or enterprise engaged in (1) the banking (including bank holding company) or financial services industry, or (2) any other activity in which Bank or any of its subsidiaries are engaged during the period of Employee’s employment with the Bank, within fifty (50) miles of the Bank’s offices at 100 Gateway Drive, Hanover Township, Northampton County, Pennsylvania, (the “Non-Competition Area”) unless Employee exclusively performs all such activity outside of the Non-Competition Area; or
		

		
			(2)provide financial or other assistance (other than through Bank) to any person, firm, corporation, or enterprise engaged in (1) the banking (including bank holding company) or financial services industry, or (2) any other activity in which Bank or any of its subsidiaries is engaged as of the date of Employee’s termination of employment, in the Non-Competition Area; or
		

		
			(3)other than on behalf of the Bank, solicit, directly or indirectly, current or former customers of the Bank or any of its subsidiaries in the Non-Competition Area; or
		

		
			(4)other than on behalf of the Bank, solicit, directly or indirectly, current or former employees of the Bank or any of its subsidiaries.
		

		
			c.Amendment of Restrictive Covenant. It is expressly understood and agreed that, although Employee and Bank consider the restrictions contained in Section 10(b) hereof reasonable for the purpose of preserving for Bank and its subsidiaries their good will and other proprietary rights, if a final judicial determination is made by a court having jurisdiction that the time or territory or any other restriction contained in this Section 10(b) hereof is an unreasonable or otherwise unenforceable restriction against Employee, the provisions of Section 10(b) hereof shall not be rendered void but shall be deemed amended to apply as to such maximum time and territory and to such other extent as such court may judicially determine or indicate to be reasonable.
		

		
			d.Breach of Restrictive Covenant. The Employee acknowledges and agrees that any breach of the restrictions set forth in this Section 10(b) will result in irreparable injury to the Bank for which it shall have no meaningful remedy at law, and the Bank shall be entitled to injunctive relief in order to enforce provisions hereof.  Upon obtaining any such final and nonappealable injunction, the Bank shall be entitled to pursue reimbursement from the Employee and/or the Employee’s employer of attorney’s fees and costs reasonably incurred in obtaining such final and nonappealable injunction.  In addition, the Bank shall be entitled to pursue reimbursement from the Employee and/or the Employee’s employer of costs reasonably incurred in securing a qualified replacement for any employee enticed away from the Bank by Employee.  Further, the Bank shall be entitled to set off against or obtain reimbursement from Employee of 
		

		 

 

		any payments owed or made to the Employee hereunder.
		

		
			e.This Section 10 shall not apply following a Change in Control.
		

		
			﻿
		

		
			11.Miscellaneous Provisions
		

		
			﻿
		

		
			a.Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if Employee is determined to be a “specified employee” (as defined in Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended), payments to such Employee pursuant to this Agreement, other than payments qualifying as short term deferrals or an exempt separation pay arrangement under Section 409A, shall not begin earlier than the first day of the seventh month after the date of termination.   The Bank agrees to cause any and all amounts due under this Agreement, the payment or distribution of which is delayed pursuant to this Section 11(a) in accordance with Section 409A, to be paid or distributed in a single sum payment at the earliest permissible date under Section 409A.
		

		
			For purposes of the foregoing, the date upon which a determination is made as to the Specified Employee status of the Employee, the “identification date” (as defined in Section 409A) shall be December 31.
		

		
			﻿
		

		
			b.This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successor of the Bank and any such successor shall be deemed substituted for the Bank under the terms of this Agreement.
		

		
			﻿
		

		
			c.This instrument contains the entire Agreement of the parties.  It may be amended only by a writing signed by both of the parties hereto.
		

		
			﻿
		

		
			d.This Agreement shall be governed and construed in accordance with the law of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
		

		
			﻿
		

		
			e.The Bank intends in good faith that this plan comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.  To the extent any provision of this Agreement is deemed inconsistent with that section, said provision in hereby expunged and the Agreement shall be deemed amended to comply with said law and the Bank shall take such steps as to amend the Agreement so that it complies in form with Section 409A.
		

		

		

		 

 

		
		

		
			IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have hereunto set their hands and seals, the Bank by it duly authorized officer, on the day and year first above written.

			1.2.2.           Towing. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that vehicles that are loaded, unloaded or parked in areas other than designated areas may not only disturb the quiet possession of other Tenants in the Gateway Plaza, but may also be dangerous and hazardous.

			﻿
		

		
			1.3           Common Areas--Definition. The term "Common Areas" is defined as all areas and facilities outside the Premises and within the exterior boundary line of the Gateway Plaza that are provided and designated by the Landlord from time to time for the general non-exclusive use of Landlord, Tenant, and other Tenants of the Gateway Plaza and their respective employees, suppliers, shippers, customers and invitees, including parking areas, loading and unloading areas, trash areas, roadways, sidewalks, walkways, parkways, driveways, mechanical rooms and landscaped areas.

If Tenant fails to pay rent or other charges due hereunder or otherwise defaults with respect to any provision of this Lease, Landlord may use, apply or retain all or any portion of said Security Deposit for the payment of any other sum to which Landlord may become obligated by reason of Tenant's default, or to compensate Landlord for any loss or damage which Landlord may suffer thereby.

Tenant shall, at the time of such increase, deposit with Landlord additional money as a Security Deposit so that the total amount of the Security Deposit held by Landlord shall at all times bear the same proportion to the then current Base Rent as the initial Security Deposit bears to the initial Base Rent set forth in Paragraph 4. If Tenant performs all of Tenant's obligations hereunder, said Security Deposit or so much thereof as has not theretofore been applied by Landlord shall be returned without payment of interest or other increment for its use to Tenant or at Landlord's option to the last assignee, if any, of Tenant's interest hereunder on the third anniversary of the Commencement Date.

Subject to any provisions of this Paragraph to the contrary, Tenant shall not, without the prior written consent of the Landlord,  which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed: (i) assign, convey or mortgage this Lease or any interest hereunder;  (ii) permit to occur or permit to exist any assignment of this Lease, or any lien upon Tenant's interest, voluntarily or by operation of law; (iii) sublet the Premises or any part thereof; (iv) advertise as available for sublet or assignment all or any portion of the Premises; or (v) permit the use of the Premises by any parties other than Tenant and its employees.  Any such action on the part of Tenant shall be void and of no effect.  There shall be no partial assignment of Tenant's interest in this Lease.  The term "sublease" and all words derived therefrom as used in this subparagraph, shall include any subsequent sublease or assignment of such sublease and any other interest arising under such sublease.  Landlord's consent to any assignment, subletting or transfer or Landlord's election to accept any assignee, sublessee or transferee as the Tenant hereunder and to collect rent from such assignee, subtenant or transferee shall not release Tenant or any subsequent Tenant from any covenant or obligation under this Lease. Landlord's consent to any assignment, subletting or transfer shall not constitute a waiver of Landlord's right to withhold its consent to any future assignment, subletting, or transfer.  Landlord may condition its consent upon execution by the  sublessee  or  assignee of  an  instrument  confirming  such restrictions on further subleasing or assignment and joining in the waivers and indemnities made by Tenant hereunder insofar as such waivers and indemnities relate to the affected space.  Without limitation of the foregoing, Tenant agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Landlord and its employees, agents, their members, officers and partners harmless from and against any claims made by any broker or finder for a commission or fee in connection with any subleasing or assignment by Tenant or any sublessee or assignee of Tenant.
		

		
			﻿
		

		
			Tenant agrees that Landlord shall be acting reasonably when such consent is not granted if the prospective sublessee or assignee:  (i)  in the reasonable judgment of Landlord, is of a character or engaged in a business which is not in keeping with the standards of Landlord for the Building;  (ii) in the reasonable judgment of Landlord, the purposes for which the Premises are intended to be used are not in keeping with the standards of Landlord for the Building, or are in violation of the terms of any other leases in the Building, it being understood that the purpose for which subtenant or assignee intends to use the Premises may not be in violation of this Lease; (iii) the portion of the Premises to be sublet does not have appropriate means of ingress and egress and suitable for normal renting purposes for the portion of the Premises to be sublet or assigned;  (iv) is a government (or a subdivision or agency thereof) intending to use the Premises other than for general business offices; (v) does not, in the reasonable judgment of Landlord, have adequate financial strength; (vi) Tenant is in Default under this Lease; or (vii) is or was during the term of this Lease a Tenant of Landlord or a related entity in this Building or another building of Landlord or a related entity. Landlord's consent to any subletting or Landlord's election to accept any subtenant or assignee as the Tenant hereunder and to collect rent from such subtenant shall not  release Tenant or any subsequent Tenant from any covenant or obligation under this Lease.
		

		
			 
		

		
			24
		

		
			 
		

		
			11.2          Information Required. If Tenant desires the consent of Landlord to an assignment or subletting, Tenant shall submit to Landlord at least thirty (30) days prior to the proposed effective date of the assignment or sublease a written notice which includes: (i) all documentation then available related to the proposed sublease or assignment (copies of final executed documentation to be supplied on or before the effective date); and (ii) sufficient information to permit Landlord to determine the identity and character of the proposed sublessee or assignee and the financial condition of the proposed assignee.
		

		
			﻿
		

		
			11.3          Landlord's Alternatives. In addition to withholding its consent Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease as to that portion of the Premises which Tenant assigns or sublets in violation of this Lease. Landlord may exercise such right to terminate by giving written notice to Tenant at any time prior to Landlord's written consent to such assignment or sublease. In the event that Landlord exercises such right to terminate, Landlord shall be entitled to recover possession of and Tenant shall surrender such portion of the Premises on the later of (i) the date for possession by such unapproved subtenant or assignee, or (ii) ninety (90) days after the date of Landlord's notice of termination to Tenant.
		

		
			﻿
		

		
			11.4          Consent. In the event that Landlord consents to any assignment or sublease of any portion of the Premises, as a condition of Landlord's consent, if Landlord consents, Tenant shall pay to Landlord any reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with such assignment or sublease.

If Tenant is a partnership, a withdrawal or change, whether voluntary, involuntary or by operation of law or in one or more transactions, Tenant shall be deemed an assignment of this Lease and subject to the provisions of this Paragraph. If Tenant is a corporation, any dissolution, merger, consolidation or other reorganization of Tenant, or the sale, transfer or redemption of a direct or indirect controlling interest in the capital stock of Tenant, in one or more transactions, shall be deemed a voluntary assignment of this Lease and subject to the provisions of this Paragraph. Neither this Lease nor any interest therein nor any estate created thereby shall pass by operation of law or otherwise to any trustee, custodian or receiver in bankruptcy of Tenant or any assignee for the assignment of the benefit of creditors of Tenant. Provided, however, that Tenant's merger with or into another existing banking institution or the purchase of substantially all the assets of Tenant by an existing banking institution shall be permitted and shall not be considered an assignment of this Lease.

		cure to completion. To the extent permitted by law, such thirty (30) day notice shall constitute the sole and exclusive notice required to be given to Tenant under applicable unlawful detainer statutes.

			12.2          Remedies. In the event of any such Material Default by Tenant, Landlord may at any time thereafter, with or without notice or demand and without limiting Landlord in the exercise of any right or remedy which Landlord may have by reason of such Default:

			12.3          Default by Landlord. Landlord shall not be in default unless Landlord fails to perform obligations required of Landlord within a reasonable time, but in no event later than thirty (30) days after written notice by Tenant to Landlord and to the holder of any first mortgage or deed of trust covering the Premises whose name and address shall have theretofore been furnished to Tenant in writing, specifying wherein Landlord has failed 
		

		 

 

		to perform such obligation; provided, however, that if the nature of Landlord's obligation is such that more than thirty (30) days are required for performance then Landlord shall not be in default if Landlord commences performance within such thirty (3 0) day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes the same to completion.

			12.4          Late Charges. Tenant hereby acknowledges that late payment by Tenant to Landlord of Base Rent, Tenant's Share of Operating Expenses or other sums due hereunder will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which will be extremely difficult to ascertain.   Such costs include, but are not limited to, processing and accounting charges, and late charges which may be imposed on Landlord by the terms of any  mortgage  of  trust  deed  covering  the  Gateway  Plaza. Accordingly, if any installment of Base Rent, Operating Expenses, or any other sum due from Tenant shall not be received by Landlord or Landlord's designee within ten (10) days after such amount shall be due, then, without any requirement for notice to Tenant, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late charge equal to six percent (6%) of such overdue amount.   The parties hereby agree that such late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs Landlord will  incur  by  reason  of  late  payment  by  Tenant. Acceptance of such late charge by Landlord shall in no event constitute a waiver of Tenant's default with respect to such overdue amount, nor prevent Landlord from exercising any of the other rights and remedies granted hereunder.  In the event that a late charge is payable hereunder, whether or not collected, for three (3) installments of any of the aforesaid monetary obligations of Tenant, the Base Rent shall automatically become due and payable quarterly in advance, rather than monthly, notwithstanding Paragraph 3.1 or any other provision of this Lease to the contrary.

			13.           CONDEMNATION. If the Premises or any portion thereof or the Gateway Plaza are taken under the power of eminent domain, or sold under the threat of the exercise of said power (all of which are herein referred to as  "Condemnation"),  this Lease shall terminate as to the part so taken as of the date the condemning authority takes title or possession, whichever first occurs.  If more than ten percent (10%) of the floor area of the Premises, or more than twenty-five percent (25%) of that portion of the Common Areas designated as parking for the Gateway Plaza is taken by condemnation, Tenant may, at Tenant's option, to be exercised in writing only within twenty (20) days after Landlord shall have given Tenant written notice of such taking (or in the absence of such notice, within twenty (20) days after the condemning authority shall have taken possession) terminate this Lease as of the date the condemning authority takes such possession.  If Tenant does not terminate this Lease in accordance with the foregoing, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect as to the portion of the Premisses remaining, except that the rent shall be reduced in the proportion that the floor areas of the Premises taken bears to the total floor area of the Premises. No reduction of Rent shall occur if the only area taken is that which does not have the Premises located thereon.  Any award for the taking of all or any part of the Premises under the power of eminent domain or any payment made under threat of the exercise of such power shall be the property of Landlord, whether such award shall be made as compensation for the taking of the fee, or as severance damages; provided, however, that Tenant shall be entitled to any separated award for diminution in value of the leasehold or for loss of or damage to Tenant's trade fixtures and removable personal property.  In the event that this Lease is not terminated by reason of such condemnation, Landlord shall to the extent of severance damages received by Landlord in connection with such condemnation,  repair any damage to the Premises caused by such condemnation except to the extent that Tenant has been reimbursed therefore by the condemning authority. Tenant shall pay any amount in excess or such severance damages required to complete such repair.

			                 14.3          If Landlord desires to finance, refinance, or sell the Property, or any part thereof, Tenant hereby agrees to deliver to any lender or purchaser designated by Landlord such financial statements of Tenant as may be reasonably required by such lender or purchaser. All such financial statements shall be received by Landlord and such lender or purchaser in confidence and shall be used only for the purpose herein set forth.

			18.           TIME OF ESSENCE. Time is of the essence with respect to the obligations to be performed under this Lease.

			22.           WAIVERS. No waiver by Landlord of any provision hereof shall be deemed a waiver of any other provision herein or of any subsequent breach by Tenant of the same or any other provision.

			28.1 This Lease, and any Option granted hereby, at Landlord's option, shall be subordinate to any ground lease, mortgage, deed of trust, or any other hypothecation or security now or hereafter placed upon the Gateway Plaza and to any and all advances made on the security thereof and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof. Notwithstanding such subordination, Tenant's right to quiet possession of the Premises shall not be disturbed if Tenant is not in default and so long as Tenant shall pay the Rent and observe and perform all of the provisions of this Lease, unless this Lease is otherwise terminated pursuant to its terms, if any mortgagee, trustee or ground Landlord shall elect to have this Lease and any Options granted hereby prior to the lien of its mortgage, deed of trust or ground lease, and shall give written notice thereof to Tenant, this Lease and such Options shall be deemed prior to such mortgage, deed of trust or ground lease, whether this Lease or such Options are dated prior to or subsequent to the date of said mortgage, deed or trust, or ground lease or the date of recording thereof.
		

		
			 
		

		
			28.2          Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, agrees to execute any documents required to effectuate an attornment, a subordination or to make this Lease or any Option granted herein prior to the lien of any mortgage, deed of trust or ground lease, as the case may be, whether precipitated by Landlord or a proposed transferee of Landlord. Tenant's failure to execute such documents within ten (10) days after written demand shall constitute a material default by Tenant hereunder without further notice to Tenant or, at Landlord's option, Landlord shall execute such documents on behalf of Tenant as Tenant's attorney-in-fact. Tenant does hereby make, constitute, and irrevocably appoint Landlord as Tenant's attorney-in-fact and in Tenant's name, place and stead, to execute such documents in accordance with this Paragraph 28.2.

Landlord may at any time, place on or about the Building any ordinary "For Sale" signs and Landlord may at any time during the last one hundred twenty (12 0) days of the term hereof place on or about the Premises any ordinary "For Lease" signs.

			﻿
		

		
			33.           MERGER. The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Tenant, or a mutual cancellation thereof, or a termination by Landlord, shall not work a merger, and shall, at the option of Landlord, terminate all or any existing subtenancies or may, at the option of Landlord, operate as an assignment to Landlord of any or all of such subtenancies.
		

		
			﻿
		

		
			34.           CONSENTS. Except for Paragraph 31, supra, wherever in this Lease the consent of one party is required to an act of the other party such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

			﻿
		

		
			37.4.3         All rights of Tenant under the provisions of an Option shall terminate and be of no further force or effect, notwithstanding Tenant's due and timely exercise of the Option; if, after such exercise and during the term of this Lease: (i) Tenant fails to pay to Landlord a monetary obligation of Tenant for a period of thirty (30)  days after such obligation becomes due (without any necessity of Landlord to give notice thereof to Tenant) ; or (ii) Tenant fails to commence to cure a Default specified in Paragraph 12.1.3 within thirty (30) days after the date that Landlord gives notice to Tenant of such Default and/or Tenant fails thereafter to diligently prosecute said cure to completion; or (iii) Tenant commits a Default described in Paragraph 12.1.1, 12.1.4, or 12.1.5 (without any necessity of Landlord to give notice of such Default to Tenant) ; or (iv) Landlord gives to Tenant three (3) or more notices of Default under Paragraph 12.1.2, or Paragraph 12.1.3 within a period of twelve (12) months, whether or not the Defaults are cured.

			﻿
		

		
			37.5.3          If the two appraisals are within ten percent of each other, then the average of the two shall be the base rent for the Renewal Term. If the two appraisals are not within ten percent of each other, then the two appraisers shall select a third licensed, independent appraiser who shall deliver an appraisal within thirty (30) days of the date the second appraiser's appraisal is delivered. The Base Rent for the Renewal Term shall then be the average of the third appraisal and whichever of the first two appraisals is closest to the third appraisal. If the third appraisal is exactly in the middle of the first two appraisals, then the third appraisal amount shall be the Base Rent for the Renewal Term.

Tenant hereby acknowledges that Landlord shall have no obligation whatsoever to provide guard service or other security measures for the benefit of the Premises or the Gateway Plaza.

			﻿
		

		
			40.           PERFORMANCE UNDER PROTEST. If at any time a dispute shall arise as to any amount of money to be paid by one party to the other under the provisions hereof, the party against whom the obligation to pay the money is asserted shall have the right to make payment "under protest" and such payment shall not be regarded as a voluntary payment, and there shall survive the right on the part of said party to institute suit for recovery of such sum. If it shall be adjudged that there was no legal obligation on the part of said party to pay such sum or any part thereof, said party shall be entitled to recover such sum or so much thereof as it was not legally required to pay under the provisions of this Lease.
