(i)    Breach of any representation, warranty or obligation under this Agreement by University, or any of its officers, directors, employees or agents;

(ii)    Violation by University, its officers, directors, and employees, of any applicable law, rule, regulation or administrative order or any statement, letter or guidelines issued by applicable regulatory authority in connection with performance under this Agreement; or gross negligence or willful misconduct of University or its officers, directors, employees, agents or subcontractors, in connection with its duties or obligations under the terms of this Agreement, except to the extent such Losses result from the negligence, gross negligence or willful misconduct of PNC Bank.

(b)    Indemnification by PNC Bank.  PNC Bank shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless University, its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against all Losses arising directly or indirectly, out of or relating to the following:

(i)     Breach of any representation, warranty or obligation under this Agreement by PNC Bank, or any of its officers, directors, employees or agents;

(c)     Indemnification Procedures for Third Party Claims.  In any case where the person seeking indemnification under this Agreement (herein referred to as the “Indemnified Party”) seeks indemnification for a third party claim, suit or proceeding (herein referred to as a “Third Party Claim”), such indemnification will be conditioned on such Indemnified Party’s compliance with the following procedures:

(i)    The Indemnified Party will give prompt written notice to the person from whom indemnification is sought (herein referred to as the “Indemnifying Party”) of each claim for indemnification under this Agreement, specifying the amount and nature of the claim (herein referred to as a “Notice of Claim”).  Provided that such Notice of Claim is given (unless the failure to provide such Notice of Claim does not prejudice the interests of the Indemnifying Party), and the Indemnifying Party has not contested in writing the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification as set forth below, the Indemnifying Party, at its own expense and using counsel of its own choosing, will promptly defend, contest and otherwise protect against any such claim, suit or proceeding.  If within a reasonable time period following the receipt of a Notice of Claim, the Indemnifying Party contests in writing the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification with respect to the Third Party Claim described in the Notice of Claim, the Indemnified Party will defend against and contest such Third Party Claim. 

(ii)    If the Indemnifying Party is defending against the Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may, but will not be obligated to, participate in the defense of any such Third Party Claim, suit or proceeding, at its own expense and using counsel of its own choosing, but the Indemnifying Party will be entitled to control the defense thereof unless the Indemnified Party has relieved the Indemnifying Party from liability with respect to the particular matter.  The Indemnified Party will cooperate and provide such assistance as the Indemnifying Party reasonably may request in connection with the Indemnifying Party’s defense and will be entitled to recover from the Indemnifying Party the reasonable costs of providing such assistance.  The Indemnifying Party will inform the Indemnified Party on a regular basis of the status of such claim, suit or proceeding and the Indemnifying Party’s defense thereof.

(iii)    In any Third Party Claim the defense of which is controlled by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party will not, without Indemnified Party’s prior written consent, compromise or settle such claim, suit or proceeding if:  (y) such compromise or settlement would impose an injunction or other equitable relief upon the Indemnified Party; or (z) such compromise or settlement does not include the third party’s release of the Indemnified Party from all liability relating to such claim, suit or proceeding for which the Indemnified Party is entitled to be indemnified.

(iv)    If the Indemnifying Party fails to timely defend, contest, or otherwise protect against any such claim, suit, or proceeding, and fails to contest in writing the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification, the Indemnified Party may, but will not be obligated to, defend, contest or otherwise protect against the same, and make any compromise or settlement thereof and recover the entire costs thereof from the Indemnifying Party, including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel and all amounts paid as a result of such claim, suit or proceeding and the compromise or settlement thereof.  

(v)    The obligation of a party to indemnify the other party’s officers, directors, employees and agents in accordance with this Section 13 may be enforced exclusively by the other party and nothing herein will be construed to grant such officers, directors, employees and agents any individual rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities with respect to the parties.  The parties may amend or modify this Agreement in any respect without the consent of such officers, directors, employees and agents. 

14.    LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

WHEREAS, the parties have entered into the Agreement which specified services include ATM deployment.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained and intending to be legally bound hereby, it is agreed as follows:

1.    License

PNC Bank and University shall from time to time enter into licenses, each such license to be in the form which is attached hereto as Schedule A which is a supplement to this ATM Agreement and which, when executed shall constitute a License (“License”), to cover such ATMs and to contain such special provisions respecting terms, covenants, conditions and provisions as PNC Bank and University may agree.

2.    Grant of License

University hereby grants to PNC Bank, or its affiliate, the right, upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, to install, maintain, service, repair, replace and operate ATMs, together with related Equipment and Installations as described in Section 5 hereof at the location(s) (the “Locations”) set forth in the Licenses.

3.    Location of ATMs

The ATMs shall be located within or about the Locations as mutually agreed upon by the parties.  The initial Locations will be as indicated in the Licenses.  The ATMs, together with related Equipment and Installations, may be relocated only upon the mutual written agreement of the parties, provided that the party requesting relocation will bear the cost thereof, including the cost of relocating the aforesaid Equipment and Installations.  Requests for relocation hereunder must be made no less than thirty (30) days prior to the date that relocation is desired.  An ATM may be moved temporarily for security reasons, in the event of fire, casualty, riot or other emergency, provided that University uses its best efforts to promptly notify PNC Bank of such event, and to protect the security of the ATM(s).

4.    ATMs and ATM Rent

(c)    ATM Rent:  As of the Effective Date, through December 31, 2019, PNC Bank shall pay to University ATM Rent payments of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00), in equal monthly installments of Four Thousand One Hundred and Sixty Six Dollars and Sixty Six Cents ($4,166.66) on the first day of each month during the Initial Term and any Optional Renewal Term of the Agreement.

All payments made by PNC Bank hereunder shall be by check to the address designated by the University, or delivered by hand. 

(d)    In addition to the foregoing ATM Rental fees, PNC Bank shall, as further consideration of this Agreement, pay and discharge all real estate taxes, general and special assessments, which during the Term of this Agreement may be levied or assessed solely against the Locations and all improvements or other property thereon belonging to PNC Bank. Without limiting the foregoing, if at any time during the Term hereof, under the laws of Pennsylvania or any political subdivision or instrumentality thereof in which the Locations are situated, (A) a tax, assessment or other charge however described is levied or assessed against University for taxes and assessments imposed upon the Locations or improvements thereon (commonly known as real estate taxes), or (B) the incidents of real estate taxation, levy, valuation, or assessment are agreed to by University, is determined, modified, altered or otherwise shifted, in whole or in part, in lieu of or as a substitution for real estate taxes and assessments imposed upon the Locations or improvements, then PNC Bank covenants and agrees to pay and discharge said taxes, assessments or other in lieu of or substitution charges.

9.    Certain Rights of the Parties
             
(a)    PNC Bank reserves the right to impose a surcharge on users of its ATMs that are subject to this ATM Agreement. The surcharge shall be the same amount or less than the surcharge imposed for use of PNC Bank branch ATMs in the applicable Pennsylvania market area.  In the event the branch ATM surcharge is increased, then the surcharge applicable to the ATMs hereunder may also increase.  In no event will PNC Bank impose a surcharge hereunder that is applicable only to Constituents.

(b)    PNC Bank reserves the exclusive right to determine whether any surcharge hereunder shall be imposed upon PNC Bank cardholders.

(c)    Except as otherwise provided herein, during the Term of this Agreement, University will not grant to any person the right to install or operate any proposed new or replacement ATMs at the Locations or any other locations on the University campuses commencing after the Effective Date without first extending to PNC Bank a thirty (30) day right of first refusal to provide an additional ATM.  Should PNC Bank choose not to provide the additional ATM, the University may seek such services from another financial institution. 

(i)    During the Term hereof:

(A)    PNC Bank shall be permitted to have at least three (3) ATMs in the HUB, in addition to such ATMs as may be in the E-Branch Lease.

(C)    If it is determined by the parties to be commercially reasonable, PNC Bank may remove an ATM it has deployed on the campus.  In the event that PNC Bank chooses to remove an ATM for this reason, it is agreed that another    financial institution may install an ATM at such Location notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 9(c).

(d)    The following locations are excluded from this Agreement:  All Athletic Facilities, the Visitor Center, and the Bank of America building.

10.    Performance; Warranty

11.    Security

(a)    University shall maintain security at the Locations in accordance with the standards for security generally at University’s facilities; University shall not be required to post a security guard for any ATM hereunder.  Except as otherwise provided herein, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with such security measures shall be borne by University.

PNC Bank shall be responsible for maintaining or causing to be maintained, at its expense, such fire, casualty, theft, and public liability insurance of and with respect to the ATMs and related Equipment and Installations as PNC Bank considers appropriate.

AND

PNC BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national banking association organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America, having an office at 620 Liberty Avenue, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15222, County of Allegheny, and Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, hereinafter called (“Tenant”), party of the Second part.

WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, Landlord is the owner of a lot of land situated on the campus of The Pennsylvania State University,  located in University Park, in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (“Premises”), on which there is erected the building known as HUB-Robeson Center ("Building"); and

WHEREAS, Tenant has entered into that certain University Banking Services Agreement dated January 1, 2015 (the “Banking Services Agreement”) pursuant to which Tenant has agreed to provide Financial Services, including ATM(s) and the E-BRANCH to the University; and

WHEREAS, Tenant is entering into this Lease which is an integral part of the Tenant fulfilling Tenant’s obligations under the Banking Services Agreement.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained, the parties intending to be legally bound hereby; agree as follows:

1.    PREMISES. Landlord, in consideration of the lease payments provided in this Lease, leases to Tenant shell space within the Building known as 21 HUB-Robeson, Lower Level  and consisting of approximately Four Hundred One (401) square feet as more particularly shown in the floor plan attached hereto as Schedule A to this Lease, which space includes such areas as queuing line space and entrance to the secured areas, and for the placement of an “E-BRANCH” (as defined in the Banking Services Agreement) ("Demised Premises”). The Demised Premises is located on the ground floor of the HUB-Robeson Center. Landlord warrants that, as of the date hereof, the Premises and the Demised Premises are being delivered free of Hazardous Materials and are in compliance with the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act.  The E-BRANCH shall provide “Financial Services” and shall be equipped with at least two (2) ATMs. 

2.    TERM.  The Term of this Lease shall commence on the date hereof and shall terminate on December 31, 2019 (“Initial Term).  The Term of this Lease may be renewed in accordance with the provisions of Section 3, below. The Initial Term and any Renewal Term (as defined below) may be collectively referred to herein as a “Term”. 

3.    RENEWAL TERMS. In the event the term of the Banking Services Agreement is renewed, Tenant shall notify Landlord no later than six (6) months prior to the end of the Initial Term or a Renewal Term, if applicable, that it desires to renew the Term of this Lease. Upon such notification and the mutual written agreement of the parties hereto, the Lease may be renewed under the same terms and conditions as set forth herein for up to two (2) successive terms of one (1) year periods (each, a “Renewal Term”).  The lease payments during the Renewal Term shall be the same as the lease payments during the Initial Term.  The parties acknowledge that (i) Tenant entered into a Banking Services Agreement executed by Tenant, and (ii) Tenant’s willingness to enter into this Lease is directly related to, and conditioned upon, the continuation of the Banking Services Agreement.  Therefore, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, in the event the term of the Banking Services Agreement expires or is terminated before the expiration of the Initial Term, or any Renewal Term, of this Lease, Tenant or Landlord may terminate this Lease upon providing prior written notice to the non-terminating party (a “Banking Agreement Termination”).  The effective date of the Banking Agreement Termination shall be the date specified in the termination notice, or, in the absence of any date specified in such notice, the termination date of the Banking Services Agreement.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Term of this Lease may not be renewed if the term of the Banking Services Agreement has not also been renewed pursuant to its terms and conditions.  

4.     LEASE PAYMENTS. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in advance without demand, and without deduction, counterclaim or set-off whatsoever, annual lease payments of Forty Thousand Dollars ($40,000.00), in equal monthly installments of Three Thousand Three Hundred Thirty-Three and 33/100 Dollars ($3,333.33), on the first of each month commencing on February 1, 2015.  All lease payments made by PNC Bank hereunder shall be by check to the address designated by the University, or delivered by hand. 

In addition to the foregoing Lease Payments, PNC Bank shall, as further consideration of this Agreement, pay and discharge all real estate taxes, general and special assessments, which during the Term of this Agreement may be levied or assessed solely against the Demised Premises and all improvements or other property thereon belonging to PNC Bank. Without limiting the foregoing, if at any time during the Term hereof, under the laws of Pennsylvania or any political subdivision or instrumentality thereof in which the Locations are situated, (A) a tax, assessment or other charge however described is levied or assessed against University for taxes and assessments imposed upon the Locations or improvements thereon (commonly known as real estate taxes), or (B) the incidents of real estate taxation, levy, valuation, or assessment are agreed to by University, is determined, modified, altered or otherwise shifted, in whole or in part, in lieu of or as a substitution for real estate taxes and assessments imposed upon the Locations or improvements, then PNC Bank covenants and agrees to pay and discharge said taxes, assessments or other in lieu of or substitution charges. University hereby agrees to give written notice to PNC Bank of such taxes, assessments or other charges. If University gives PNC Bank adequate prior notice as provided, PNC Bank agrees to and shall protect and hold harmless University and the Locations from liability for any and all such taxes, assessments and charges, together with any interest, penalties or other sums thereby imposed (other than as a result of acts or omissions of University, it agents, contractors or employees) and from any sale or other proceeding to enforce payment thereof.

5.    LATE PAYMENTS. In the event that Landlord has not received any lease payment from Tenant within  five (5) days after the date on which such payment is due, Tenant shall pay Landlord a late charge equal to One Hundred Fifty ($150) Dollars per month for each unpaid monthly payment until paid.

6.    POSSESSION. Tenant shall be entitled to possession on the first day of the term of this Lease, and shall yield possession to Landlord on the last day of the term of this Lease, unless otherwise agreed by both parties in writing.

7.    USE OF PREMISES. Tenant shall use the Demised Premises to conduct Financial Services and the Program, as defined in Banking Services Agreement and other related financial service operations only, and for no other purpose (“Use”). The Demised Premises may be used for another purpose only with the prior written consent of Landlord in its sole discretion.

8.    REMODELING OR STRUCTURAL IMPROVEMENTS. Tenant shall have the right to conduct construction or remodeling at Tenant's expense that may reasonably be required to use the Demised Premises as set forth herein. Tenant may also construct such fixtures, including signage, on the Demised Premises at Tenant's expense that appropriately facilitate its Use. Such construction shall be undertaken and such fixtures may be erected only with the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; Tenant shall seek such consent by written request to Landlord accompanied by supporting documentation in reasonable detail.  At the end of the Lease term, Tenant shall be entitled to remove, or at the request of Landlord shall be required to remove, such fixtures, and shall return the Demised Premises to substantially the same condition as at the commencement of this Lease. Ordinary wear and tear, damage arising from a casualty not caused by the negligence of Tenant or any of its agents, and all structural changes, remodeling and additions to the Demised Premises made or done with the written consent of Landlord, shall be considered as exempt.

9.    MAINTENANCE. Landlord, at its sole cost and expense, shall maintain the Building within which the Demised Premises is located in good repair at all times, including structural items, Building systems, and Landlord's fixtures, and shall clean and maintain all common areas. Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall maintain the space constituting the Demised Premises in good, clean, attractive, safe and operating condition at all times consistent with Landlord's reasonable expectations and with the remainder of the Building.

10.  ACCESS BY LANDLORD TO PREMISES. Landlord, its agents, employees and contractors shall have the right, accompanied by a security officer of Tenant, to enter all parts of the Demised Premises during Tenant's business hours after giving prior notice to Tenant to (i) inspect the same, (ii) show the same to prospective purchasers or tenants, (iii) enforce and carry out any provision of this Lease, and (iii) without assuming responsibility to do so, to make repairs or alterations. In the event of an emergency endangering life or property, or in the event of Tenant's desertion or abandonment of the Demised Premises, Landlord shall have the right to enter by force.

11.  UTILITIES AND SERVICES. Landlord shall be responsible for all utilities in connection with the use of the Demised Premises by Tenant.   Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall be responsible for telephone, video surveillance and internet service and janitorial services within the confines of the Demised Premises.

12.  INSURANCE. (a) "Liability Insurance" is insurance providing coverage for sums the insured becomes legally obligated to pay as damages because of an occurrence resulting in property damage or in bodily injury (including sickness and disease, and including death from such injury, sickness or disease), or because of an occurrence resulting in personal injury or advertising injury, an example of which is insurance known at the date of this Agreement as "commercial general liability" insurance (formerly known as "comprehensive general liability"), and which coverage is provided under customary terms, conditions, and limitations, including occurrence-based coverage (and not claims-based coverage) as long as such coverage is available at commercially reasonable rates.

(b)     Tenant shall carry and cause its contractors to carry Liability Insurance with a limit of at least $5,000,000 (combined single limit for bodily injury and property damage) which limit is subject to increase every three years, on Landlord's reasonable request. Tenant's Liability Insurance is primary to Landlord's Liability Insurance for occurrences in the Demised Premises. The insurer must be licensed in the state in which the Demised Premises is located, give Landlord thirty (30) days' notice of cancellation or reduction in coverage, and furnish Landlord certificates of coverage on request. Under the Liability Insurance policy, the inclusion of additional insureds must not affect coverage for the named insured for claims made regarding this Agreement against Tenant where the claims would have been covered under the policy had the additional insured not been included.  Tenant’s Liability Insurance policies shall reflect that Landlord is an “additional insured”.  Tenant shall carry property insurance with respect to its furniture, fixtures and equipment providing "all risk” coverage. Tenant may use blanket policies.

(c)     Landlord shall carry Liability Insurance with a limit of at least $5,000,000 (combined single limit for bodily injury and property damage) which limit is subject to increase every three years, on Tenant's reasonable request. Landlord's Liability Insurance is primary to Tenant's Liability Insurance for occurrences in the Premises outside the Demised Premises. The insurer must be licensed in the state in which the Premises is located, give Tenant thirty (30) days' notice of cancellation or reduction in coverage, and furnish Tenant certificates of coverage on request. Under the Liability Insurance policy, the inclusion of additional insureds must not affect coverage for the named insured for claims made against it by additional insureds where the claims would have been covered under the policy had the additional insured not been included. The parties will coordinate the subrogation clauses of these coverages. To the extent required by any applicable Lease Agreement, Landlord shall carry property insurance on the Premises providing "all risk" coverage with a replacement cost endorsement. Landlord may use blanket policies.

(d)     Either party may self-insure as long as the self-insuring party's (or its parent corporation's) net worth exceeds $60,000,000 and the self-insuring party (or its parent corporation) is consistently able to meet its financial obligations as they mature and complies with the law applicable to self insurance.

(e)     The merchandise and other property of Tenant and its employees at the Demised Premises may be subject to damage or loss by reason of many hazards, such as theft, fire, leakage, heater power failure, accidents, defects in plumbing, boiler or other explosions, and the bursting of pipes. Insurance is obtainable against most if not all of such hazards. Landlord shall not be liable for any damage to the Demised Premises or to the fixtures or equipment of Tenant contained therein or any loss suffered by Tenant caused by fire or any such other hazards, excluding such damage or loss caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its employees, agents or subcontractors.

13.  INDEMNIFICATION. (a) Tenant shall indemnify Landlord, its affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents, hold them harmless and defend them (if requested) against any and all penalties, claims, actions, damages, liability and expense, including reasonable attorney's fees and court costs, resulting from a breach of any obligation under this Agreement or the activities or business of Tenant, any Tenant employees or any contractor of Tenant at the Demised Premises, except to the extent caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or its Affiliates or their respective agents, employees or contractors.

(b)     Landlord shall indemnify Tenant, its Affiliates and their respective officers,  directors, employees and agents, hold them harmless and defend them (if requested) against any and all penalties, claims, actions, damages, liability and expense, including reasonable attorney's fee and court costs, resulting from a breach of any obligations under this Agreement or the activities or business of Landlord, any Landlord employees or any contractor or agent of Landlord at the Building, except to the extent caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or its Affiliates or their respective agents, employees or contractors.

(c)     In any case where a party shall seek indemnification under this Agreement (the "Indemnified Party"), for a third party claim, suit or proceeding ("Third Party Claim"), such indemnification shall be conditioned on such Indemnified Party's compliance with the following procedures:

(i)     The Indemnified Party shall give prompt written notice ("Notice") of any Third Party Claim to the party from whom such indemnification is sought (the "Indemnifying Party"), specifying the amount and nature of such Third Party Claim and in accordance with the notice provisions set forth in Section 22.

(ii)     Provided that prompt Notice is given, unless the failure to give such Notice does not prejudice the interests of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall promptly defend, contest, and otherwise protect the Indemnified party against such Third Party Claim, at its own expense and using counsel of its own choosing, which shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party.

(iii)     The Indemnified Party may, but shall not be obligated to participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim at its own expense and use counsel of its own choosing, but the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to control the defense thereof unless the Indemnified Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party from all liability for such Third Party Claim. The Indemnified Party shall cooperate and provide such assistance as the Indemnifying Party reasonably may request in connection with the Indemnifying Party's defense and shall be entitled to recover from the Indemnifying Party the actual reasonable out-of-pocket costs of providing such assistance. The Indemnifying Party shall inform the Indemnified Party on a regular basis of the status of such Third Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party’s defense thereof.

(iv)     If the Indemnifying Party shall control the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall not compromise or settle such Third Party Claim without the Indemnified Party's prior written consent, if: (a) such compromise or settlement involves anything other than a monetary settlement (e.g., imposition of an injunction or other equitable relief upon the Indemnified Party); or (b) such compromise or settlement does not include the release of the Indemnified Party from all liability arising from or relating to such Third Party Claim.

(v)     If the Indemnifying Party fails timely to defend, contest, or otherwise protect against such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may, but shall not be obligated to, defend, contest, or otherwise protect itself against the same, and make any compromise or settlement thereof in its sole discretion, and recover from the Indemnifying Party all losses of the Indemnified Party arising from or relating to such compromise or settlement.

14   DANGEROUS MATERIALS. Tenant shall not keep or have on the Demised Premises any article or thing of a dangerous, flammable, or explosive character that might substantially increase the danger of fire on the Demised Premises, or that might be considered hazardous by a responsible insurance company, unless the prior written consent of Landlord is obtained and proof of adequate insurance protection is provided by Tenant to Landlord. This shall not include the types of articles or items which are ordinarily used in a business setting but which may be considered dangerous, flammable or explosive.

15.  ASSIGNABILITY/SUBLETTING. Tenant may not assign or sublet all or any part of the Demised Premises. This prohibition of sublease or assignment does not apply for any assignment or transfer to any present or future affiliate, or parent of Tenant; provided that Tenant remains responsible for all obligations under this Agreement. 

16.  DESTRUCTION OR CONDEMNATION OF PREMISES.  If the Premises in which the Demised Premises exist are partially destroyed in a manner that prevents the conduct of Tenant's business within the Demised Premises in a normal manner, and if the damage is reasonably repairable within sixty (60) days after the occurrence of the destruction, and if the cost of repair is less than $100,000, Landlord shall repair the Premises and lease payments shall abate during the period of repair. However, if the damages are not repairable within sixty (60) days, or if the cost of repair is $100,000 or more, or if the Landlord is prevented from repairing the damage by forces beyond Landlord's control, or if the Premises of which the Demised Premises is a part is condemned, this Lease shall terminate twenty (20) days after receipt of written notice of such event or condition by either party.

17.  MECHANICS LIEN. Neither Tenant, nor anyone claiming through Tenant, shall have the right to file mechanics liens or any other kind of lien on the Demised Premises. Tenant agrees to give actual advance notice to any contractors, subcontractors or suppliers of goods, labor, or services that such liens will not be valid.

18.  DEFAULT. Tenant shall be in default of this Lease if Tenant fails to fulfill any lease obligation by which Tenant is bound. Subject to any governing provisions of law to the contrary, if Tenant fails to pay any monetary obligation or fails to cure any other obligation within ten days (10) (for a monetary obligation) or thirty (30) days (for any other obligation) after written notice of such default is received by Tenant, Landlord may take possession of the Demised Premises without further notice, and without prejudicing Landlord's rights to damages; provided, however, that if the nature of the default is such that the same cannot be reasonably cured within such thirty (30) day period, Tenant shall not be deemed to be in default if Tenant shall within such period commences such cure and thereafter diligently prosecute the same to completion. In the alternative, Landlord may elect to accept a cure of any financial obligations under this Lease. Tenant shall pay all costs, damages, and expenses suffered by Landlord, including reasonable attorney's fees, if any, by reason of Tenant's defaults.

Landlord shall be in default of this Lease if Landlord fails to fulfill any Lease obligation or term by which Landlord is bound.  If Landlord fails to cure any such obligation or term within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice of such default from Tenant, then Tenant may perform the same for the account of and at the expense of Landlord provided, however, that if the nature of the default is such that the same cannot be reasonably cured within such thirty (30) day period, Landlord shall not be deemed to be in default if Landlord shall within such period commence such cure and thereafter diligently prosecute the same to completion.

19.  EXCUSE OF PERFORMANCE (FORCE MAJEURE). Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, if either party shall be delayed or hindered in or prevented from performance of any act required herein by reason of any strike, lock-out, labor dispute, civil commotion, warlike operation, invasion, rebellion, hostilities, military or usurped power, sabotage, governmental regulations or controls, failure of power, inability to obtain any material or service, Act of God or other reasons of a like nature not related to the fault of either party, then performance of such act by either party shall be excused for the period of the delay and the period for the performance of any such act by either party shall be extended for a period equivalent to the period of such delay. Notwithstanding the foregoing, payment of rent by Tenant to Landlord shall not be excused during such time nor shall the term of this Lease be extended beyond the date set forth herein or subsequently agreed to by both parties in writing.

20.  CONDITION SUBSEQUENT. The effect of this Lease shall be binding upon the parties hereto at the time of the signing hereof with the condition subsequent that in the event that the appropriate regulators of Tenant do not grant approval of such Lease or the providing of the agreed services, then Tenant shall be released from further obligation under this Lease and agrees to release Landlord from same; provided, however, that in such event, Tenant shall pay to Landlord an amount equivalent to three (3) month's rent as liquidated damages and shall also remain liable for all direct damages suffered by Landlord. Landlord shall use its best efforts to mitigate its damages by promptly searching for a replacement tenant which will provide the same services at the same rate as Tenant has agreed.

21.  TENANT EMPLOYEES. Tenant agrees that it, its employees, agents and subcontractors and all persons about the Demised Premises under its control, shall and will abide by all regulations promulgated for the operation of the Building by the governing body of the Landlord provided such rules and regulations and any amendments thereto are made available to Tenant at least seven (7) days in advance of the effective date of such rules and regulations and further provided that such rules and regulations do not conflict with any laws or regulations applicable to Tenant's business and do not unreasonably impair E-Branch operations. Landlord agrees, to the best of Landlord's ability, to promptly notify Tenant at any time that rules or regulations are going to be enacted concerning the operation of the Building which could affect Tenant and further agrees to coordinate such rules and regulations with Tenant so that any special requirements of Tenant in the conduct of its business shall be taken into consideration prior to enactment by Landlord.  Tenant’s employees, while working at the E-Branch, shall be entitled to the nonexclusive use of the restroom facilities and any break room in the Building provided by Landlord for the convenience of Landlord’s employees.
