NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, and intending to be legally bound, the parties agree as follows:
1. Demise and Lease.
(a) Lessor, for and in consideration of the payment of the rentals hereinafter specified, and the performance of the terms, covenants and agreements herein contained, hereby demises and leases unto Lessee and Lessee hereby lets from the Lessor the space at 0 Xxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxx Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxxx (the "Building"), consisting of 17,505 usable square feet (the "Leased Premises"). The Leased Premises is more particularly described on attached Exhibit A attached and made part hereof.
(b) Lessee shall have access to the Leased Premises on a 24-hour a day basis, seven (7) days a week.
(c) Lessee shall be authorized to use the Leased Premises for: (i) general administrative office use; (ii) a financial services center; (iii) loan production; (iv) customer meetings; (v) a bank, and all uses necessary or incidental to the foregoing, including, without limitation, the sale of mutual funds, securities and other financial and insurance products), maintenance of automated teller machine(s) ("ATMs") to the extent permitted under other provisions of this Lease, safe deposit facilities and office and office related uses; and (vi) any other lawful use permitted by applicable law from time to time at the Leased Premises (collectively, the "Permitted Uses"). Lessee shall have the right, in order to maintain proper security and maintenance for the operation of its business, to have pickups or deliveries made from or to the Leased Premises by carriers of cash, securities, instruments, records or other materials commonly transported by such carriers and to permit the use of such portions of the Leased Premises as shall be reasonably required for such purposes.
1
2. Term. This Lease shall be for the period beginning on the "Commencement Date" (as defined below) and ending on June 30, 2023 unless earlier terminated or extended in accordance with this Lease (the "Term"). For purposes of this Lease, the "Commencement Date" shall be May 1, 2016.
3. Rent.
(a) From the date of this Lease through June 30, 2016, Lessee shall pay to Lessor as base rent ("Base Rent") for the Leased Premises as provided on Exhibit B, in consecutive monthly installments due and payable in advance on the first day of each month. In the event the Term shall begin and end other than on the first day and last day, respectively, of a calendar month, the rental for such partial month shall be adjusted utilizing the number of days of the Term actually contained in the calendar month during which the Term begins and ends, respectively. Lessor acknowledges and agrees that Lessee has paid Fourteen Thousand Seven Hundred Ninety-Nine and 91/100 Dollars ($14,799.91) in Base Rent for a period when the Leased Premises was not occupied as a result of the fire. This amount shall be applied to the payment of the Base Rent due at the commencement of this Lease.
(b) As of July 1st of each year, the monthly Base Rent for the next twelve (12) month period shall be adjusted by any increase in the CPI (as defined below) for the immediately preceding twelve month period. The Base Rent shall be increased by the percentage of (i) the CPI for June of the current year, divided by (ii) the CPI for June of the preceding year. Any increase in the Base Rent for any twelve (12) month period shall (z) not be less than one percent (1%), or (y) exceed four percent (4%). Both Landlord and Tenant agree that if the June CPI has not been determined when July Base Rent is due, Tenant will pay the previous year's Base Rent until the June CPI has been determined, and then Tenant shall pay over any difference to Landlord upon demand and thereafter, pay the newly determined Base Rent.
(c) "CPI" shall mean and refer to that table in the Consumer Price Index published by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, now known as the "Consumer Price Index" for all Urban Consumers, Philadelphia-Wilmington-Atlantic City, CMSA. If such Index referred to above shall be discontinued, then any successor Consumer Price Index of the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics, or successor agency thereto, shall be used.
(d) All Base Rent shall be paid in advance on the first day of each calendar month without set off or any demand therefor. If any installment of Base Rent, additional rent or any other amount due and payable by Lessee to Lessor hereunder shall remain unpaid for more than ten (10) days after the same becomes due and payable, such unpaid amount shall bear interest at the lesser of ten percent (10%) per annum or the highest rate permitted by law, calculated from the date such payment was due. No payment by Lessee or receipt by Lessor of a lesser amount than the correct sum due hereunder shall be deemed to be other than a payment on account, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment be deemed to effect or evidence an accord and satisfaction and Lessor may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Lessor's right to recover the balance due or pursue any other remedy under this Lease, at law or in equity.

4. Utilities; Janitorial.
(a) Lessee shall pay all telephone and communication charges used by Lessee in connection with the Leased Premises.
(b) Lessee shall pay all electricity and all other utilities, including, without limitation, heating, water and air conditioning related to the Leased Premises, to the extent that such utilities are separately metered for the Leased Premises. Lessor agrees to provide all such utilities to the Leased Premises. To the extent any such utilities provided to the Leased Premises are not separately metered, the Lessor's actual costs thereof shall be included in "Annual Operating Expenses" (as defined below).
(c) Lessor shall not be responsible for providing, and Lessee shall provide at its own expense, janitorial and cleaning services to the Leased Premises, including, without limitation, the removal of all trash and rubbish therefrom.
(d) Lessor will provide for regular removal of trash, from exterior receptacles, and will keep the sidewalks that abut the Leased Premises in a clean and safe condition, and accessible to pedestrians. The control of snow and ice on all sidewalks, walkways and steps serving the Leased Premises and all other areas not readily accessible to plows shall be the sole responsibility of Lessor. Lessee shall not encumber or obstruct the common area, sidewalks or entryway nor use them for any purpose except to provide ingress and egress to and from the Leased Premises.
5. Annual Operating Expenses.
(a) Lessee shall pay for its "Pro Rata Share" (as defined below) of the Annual Operating Expenses. Except as otherwise provided in this Lease, "Annual Operating Expenses" include but are not limited to, (i) all real estate taxes and assessments with respect to the Building and Property in which the Lease Premises is located (including any assessments for the West Xxxxxxx Business Improvement District (BID)), (ii) maintenance and repairs for the Building, including painting; interior and exterior repairs; roof repairs but not roof replacement; building maintenance (provided, however, that, because Lessee is to provide its own janitorial and cleaning services, the costs of janitorial and cleaning services provided to tenants shall be deducted from "Annual Operating Expenses" before calculating Lessee's Pro Rate Share thereof); (iii) service contracts; (iv) insurance; (v) utilities, including water and sewer not separately metered to the Leased Premises; (vi) Lessor's building insurance costs; and (vii) administrative expenses not to exceed five percent (5%) of the total Annual Operating Expenses as budgeted by Lessor for the Building in which the Leased Premises is located. Payments due under this Section 5 shall be paid the first (1st) day of each month in addition to Lessee's payment of rent. Lessee shall pay monthly to Lessor its Pro Rata Share of 1/12th of Annual Operating Expenses. Prior to the commencement of each calendar year of the Term, Lessor shall notify Lessee of each such year's budgeted amount for Annual Operating Expenses and Lessee shall increase or decrease its monthly payment to equal 1/12th of such amount. The failure of Lessor to so notify Lessee shall not relieve Lessee of its obligations to pay any increased Annual Operating Expenses upon receipt of such notice. Lessor's Annual Operating Expense budget shall be based on the prior calendar year's actual expenses. At the end of each calendar year, Lessee shall pay to Lessor any deficiency between the actual and budgeted Annual Operating Expenses for such year and Lessee shall receive a credit towards the following year's Annual Operating Expenses for any surplus.

(e) The parties acknowledge that the Leased Premises presently contain an existing safe that will remain in the Leased Premises at the commencement of the Term. Lessee shall be entitled to make such modifications to the safe as may facilitate Lessee's operation of the safe, and Lessee will not be obligated to modify, change or remove any such modifications when this Lease terminates.

10
(b) Except for subleases, licenses and assignments to Related Parties, as permitted above, Lessee agrees not to assign its interest in this Lease or in the Leased Premises or to sublease all or any part of the Leased Premises to any third party without first obtaining Lessor's written consent.

15. Default Remedies.
(a) Lessee's Default. Lessee will be in "Default" if (i) Lessee fails to pay Base Rent, additional expenses or any other amount owning hereunder when due, and such failure continues for five (5) days after written notice to Lessee of such failure; (ii) Lessee fails to perform any other material covenant or agreement contained in this Lease within thirty (30) days after written notice of the failure from Lessor; provided, however if the failure is of such a nature that it cannot be cured within said thirty (30) day period, Lessee will not be deemed in default provided Lessee commences to cure the default within said thirty (30) day period and thereafter continuously prosecutes such cure to completion; and/or (iii) Lessee vacates or abandons the Leased Premises or removes or manifests an intention to remove Lessee's goods and property from the Leased Premises other than in the ordinary course of its business; and/or (iv) Lessee is adjudicated a bankrupt in a proceeding initiated by or against it or a receiver for Lessee or for all or a substantial part of its property is appointed, or a court order is entered approving a petition seeking reorganization or an arrangement under the Bankruptcy Code, and any such adjudication, appointment or order is not vacated, set aside or otherwise terminated or stayed within sixty (60) days from the date of its entry.
(b) Remedies. Upon the occurrence of a Default, Lessor may, at any time thereafter and in addition to all other available legal or equitable rights and remedies, elect any one or more of the following remedies (but nothing in this Lease or the following provisions shall relieve Lessor of any obligation to mitigate damages Lessor may have under applicable law) (Lessee shall also pay to Lessor all reasonable attorney's fees, costs and expenses incurred by Lessor as a result of an occurrence of Default by Lessee):
11
(i) To accelerate the whole or any part of the Base Rent for the entire unexpired balance of the Term. If so accelerated, in addition to any and all installments of rent already due and payable and in arrears, any other charge, expenses or cost herein agreed to be paid by Lessee which may be due and payable and in arrears, shall be deemed due and payable as if, by the terms and provisions of this Lease, such other charges, payments, costs and expenses were on that date payable in advance.
(ii) By appropriate legal proceedings to reenter the Leased Premises, together with all additions, alterations and improvements and, at the option of Lessor, remove all persons and all or any property therefrom either by summary dispossess proceedings or by any suitable action or proceeding at law, and repossess and enjoy the Leased Premises. Upon recovering possession of the Leased Premises by reason of or based upon or arising out of a Default on the part of Lessee, Lessor may, at Lessor's option either terminate this Lease or make such alterations or repairs as may be necessary in order to relet the Leased Premises and relet the Leased Premises or any part or parts thereof, either in Lessor's name or otherwise, for a term or terms which may, at Lessor's option, be less than or exceed the period which would otherwise have constituted the balance of the Term of this Lease and at such rent or rents and upon such other terms and conditions as in Lessor's sole discretion may be advisable and to such other person or persons as may in Lessor's discretion be best; upon each such reletting, all rents received by Lessor from such reletting shall be applied as follows: First, to the payment of any costs and expenses or such reletting including brokerage fees, attorneys' fees and all costs of any alterations and repairs; second, to the payment of any indebtedness other than rent due hereunder from Lessee to Lessor; third, to the payment of rent due and unpaid hereunder; and the residue, if any, shall be held by Lessor and applied in payment of future rent as it may become due and payable hereunder. If such rentals received from such reletting during any month shall be less than that to the paid during that month by Lessee, Lessee shall pay any such deficiency to Lessor. Such deficiency shall be calculated and paid monthly. No such re-entry or taking possession of the Leased Premises or the making of alterations or improvements thereto or the reletting thereof shall be construed as an election on the part of Lessor to terminate this Lease unless written notice of such intention be given to Lessee. Lessor shall in no event be liable in any way whatsoever for failure to relet the Leased Premises, or in the event that the Leased Premises or any part or parts thereof are relet, for failure to collect the rent thereof under such reletting. Notwithstanding any such reletting without termination, Lessor may at any time thereafter elect to terminate this Lease for such previous breach.
(iii) To terminate this Lease and the Term hereby created without any right on the part of Lessee to waive the forfeiture by payment of any sum due or by other performance of any condition, term or covenant broken, whereupon Lessor shall be entitled to recover, any and all sums and damages for violation of Lessee's obligations hereunder in existence at the time of such termination.
16. Subordination; Non-Disturbance.

17. Estoppel Statement. Lessee and Lessor, from time to time, within ten (10) days after request by the other party, shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the other party a statement, which may be relied upon the other party or any proposed assignee of its interest in this Lease or any existing or proposed mortgagee or purchaser of the Building, certifying that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or that the same is in full force and effect as modified and listing the instruments of modification), the dates to which rent and other charges have been paid whether or not Lessor (in the case of a certificate by Lessee) or Lessee (in the case of a certificate by Lessor is in default hereunder or whether the certifying party has any claims or demands against the other party (and, if so, the default, claim and/or demand shall be specified) and certifying as to such other matters as the other party may reasonably request.

18. Condemnation.
(a) If the whole of the Leased Premises is condemned for any public use or purpose by any legally constituted authority (or is sold to such authority in lieu of condemnation), this Lease shall cease from the date of such taking or sale and rental shall be accounted for between Lessor and Lessee as of the date of the surrender of possession.
(b) Lessee shall have the option to terminate this Lease if any of the following events shall occur as the result of a taking in condemnation proceedings, or by exercise of any right of eminent domain, or by agreement between Lessor or any other person and those authorized to exercise the same: (i) any material portion of the Leased Premises is taken, (ii) any material portion of the access to the Leased Premises or the Building is taken, or (iii) any portion of the Building or adjoining land is taken so as to materially interfere with Lessee's use of or access to the Leased Premises, including, but not limited to, a reduction of available parking. For the purposes of this Section 18, a "material portion of the Leased Premises" will be deemed to have been taken and any other taking shall be deemed to "materially interfere" with Lessee's use of or access to the Leased Premises if the portion of the Leased Premises capable of being used after such taking is unsuitable in Lessee's reasonable opinion for Lessee's continued business use of the Leased Premises in the manner in which it was used prior to such taking.
13
(c) If only a portion of the Leased Premises is so taken or sold then from and after the date of taking or sale, so long as Lessee shall not have exercised its option to terminate this Lease under subsection (b) of this Section, Lessee shall remain on the remaining portion of the Leased Premises, under the terms and conditions of this Lease, provided, however, that the rental shall be proportionately reduced to reflect the portion of the Leased Premises so taken or sold.
(d) No condemnation or condemnation award shall prejudice the rights of either Lessor or Lessee to recover compensation from the condemnation.
19. Option to Renew.
(a) Lessee shall have the option to renew this Lease for up to three (3) additional, successive terms of five (5) years each (each, a "Renewal Term") for all or a portion of the Leased Premises. Each Renewal Term shall commence consecutively upon the expiration of the Term as it may have been previously extended. All of the terms and conditions applicable to the Term of this Lease shall also apply during each Renewal Term.
(b)So long as Lessee is not then in Default hereunder or at the commencement of the Renewal Term, the renewal option shall be deemed exercised unless Lessee provides written notice to Lessor at least one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the end of the then current Lease Term that it does not wish to renew this Lease for all or a portion of the Leased Premises. If Lessee is not renewing this Lease for only a portion of the Leased Premises, Lessee can only make such election for an entire floor or floors of the Leased Premises.
(c) During each Renewal Term, the Base Rent shall be a fair market rental taking into account all of the terms and conditions of this Lease. If, within fifteen (15) days after Lessee's written notice of exercise of the option, Lessee and Lessor shall not have agreed in writing on the amount and rate of Base Rent for the ensuing Renewal Term, the parties shall, within thirty (30) days after Lessee's written notice, submit the dispute to binding arbitration by two licensed Pennsylvania real estate appraisers, each having a minimum of ten (10) years' experience in appraising commercial real estate in Xxxxxxx County, Pennsylvania, one to be appointed by each of the parties. If the two appraisers cannot agree on the fair market rent, they shall promptly select a third Pennsylvania real estate appraiser having a minimum of ten (10) years' experience in appraising commercial real estate in Xxxxxxx County, Pennsylvania. The appraisers shall submit to Lessor and Lessee, within one hundred twenty (120) days after Lessee's written notice (not less than sixty (60) days prior to the commencement of the Renewal Term, a written determination as to the fair market rent for a Base Rent taking into account all of the terms and conditions of this Lease, which shall be final and binding on Lessor and Lessee. The cost of such arbitration shall be shared equally between the parties.
20. Holding Over. If Lessee remains in possession of the Leased Premises after the expiration of the Term, its continued possession shall be as a month-to-month tenant (unless the option to renew is validly exercised pursuant to Section 19 above). During such month-to-month tenancy, Basic Rent shall be payable at a rate equal to one and one-half times the rate of Basic Rent in effect during the last month of the immediately preceding Term, and the terms and provisions of this Lease shall otherwise apply.
14
21. Lessor Nonpayment or Nonperformance. In the event of Lessor's failure to pay any sum or sums or perform any obligation which Lessor is obligated to pay or perform and such nonpayment or nonperformance may result in a lien, charge or encumbrance upon the Leased Premises or interferes with the conduct of Lessee's business in the Leased Premises, Lessee shall have the right, but not the obligation, to pay or perform the same to the extent necessary to prevent any such lien, charge or encumbrance or to address any such interference, but only after Lessee shall have given Lessor written notice of Lessee's intention to do so and Lessor shall have failed to cure such nonpayment or nonperformance within such time as may be required to prevent any such lien, charge or encumbrance or any such interference. Lessor shall on demand reimburse Lessee for the reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Lessee in making such payment or performing such obligation as aforesaid, including reasonable attorneys' fees.
