The Initial Term, Lease Term, and any extension thereof, shall be collectively defined as the Total Term (the “Total Term”). 6. Rental: When Paid. a. Base Rent. Commencing on the Rent Commencement Date, the Tenant covenants and agrees to pay to Landlord as rental (the “Monthly Base Rent”) for the Premises the sum of Thirty-Three and No/100 ($33.00) Dollars per rentable square feet (as determined upon completion under the BOMA method by Landlord and cet1ified by Landlord's architect) and based upon 7,000 rentable square feet, would be the sum of Two Hundred Thirty-One ($231,000.00) Dollars annually, payable Nineteen Thousand Two Hundred Fifty and Xxxx 00 ($19,250.00) Dollars monthly on the first day of each month, in advance, during the Lease Term, as adjusted, as hereinafter provided; provided, however, that if the Rent Commencement Date does not begin on the first day or end on the last day of a month, the Monthly Base Rent for that partial month shall be prorated and paid in advance and the first lease year (the “Lease Year”) of the initial fifteen (15) year Lease Term shall commence on the first day of the succeeding month.

If the CPJ is not published for any month during the Lease Term, Landlord, in its reasonable discretion (and reasonably acceptable to Tenant), may substitute a comparable index which reflects the purchasing power of the consumer dollar and is published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Dept of Labor. If such an index is not published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Landlord, in its reasonable discretion, shall select a comparable index published by a nationally recognized responsible financial periodical. The CPI which is published for the period ending nearest three (3) months prior to the date of the commencement of the new Lease Year (“Current Index”) shall be compared with the CPI Index published for the period ending nearest three (3) months prior to the commencement of the prior Lease Year (“Beginning Index”). If the Current Index is increased over the Beginning Index, the Monthly Base Rent each year, shall be set by multiplying the Monthly Base Rent for the prior year by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Current Index, and the denominator of which is the Beginning Index. As soon as the new Monthly Base Rent for the following year is set> Landlord shall give Tenant notice of the amount of Monthly Base Rent for the following Lease Year based upon the lesser of three (3%) percent or the CPI increase.

c. Common Areas Maintenance Charge. Tenant shall pay its proportionate share of the Common Areas Costs and Expenses, Taxes and Insurance (“CAM”) for the Premises as hereinafter provided. For the purpose of determining Tenant's share of CAM, and Tenant's share of Impositions in the next following section, Tenant's proportionate share shall be the percentage obtained by dividing the rentable square feet of the Premises by the rentable square feet comprising the Building. Tenant shall pay a monthly CAM payment in advance during the Lease Term, based on Landlord's estimate of what CAM will be for each respective calendar year during the Lease Term. CAM for a partial calendar year during the Lease Term shall be prorated. At the end of each calendar year or partial calendar year during the Lease Te1m, when Landlord has determined actual CAM for such period, Tenant shall be credited with the estimated payments made during such period, and any overpayment shall be refunded to Tenant and any underpayment shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord within thirty (30) days of the determination of the same. Tenant's initial monthly CAM installments beginning on the Rent Commencement Date shall be based on an annual rate of ($ Dollars per 1entable square feet of the Premises and shall be “Additional Rent” equal to ($ Dollars per month, based on the Premises containing 7,000 rentable square feet and the Building containing 41,500 rentable square feet. Tenant's proportionate share of CAM shall be adjusted proportionately if the square footage of the Premises or the Building changes. Landlord shall determine the amount of CAM for the Building and Tenant shall be furnished with a statement thereof within ninety (90) days after the end of each calendar year, but Landlord's failure to provide such statement shall not relieve Tenant of the obligation to pay any amounts due when the statement is furnished. Tenant shall pay in a Jump sum any amount due with respect to the preceding pat1ial calendar year or calendar year to Landlord within thirty (30) days after receipt of such statement, all subsequent monthly installments paid by Tenant to Landlord, beginning with the first month of each calendar year or partial calendar year, for CAM, shall be adjusted based on actual CAM for the immediately preceding calendar year. CAM Charges (exclusive of real estate taxes, insurance, and uncontrollable CAM Charges such as snow/ice removal and utility expenses for exterior lighting) will not increase by more than five (5%) percent non-cumulative per calendar year. 1.

contesting, or in negotiating with the public authorities as to the amount of such assessments, charges or taxes or the basis upon which the same shall be assessed. Tenant's proportionate share of said Impositions shall be computed by multiplying the total sum of said Impositions for the applicable period by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of rentable square feet of the Premises and the denominator of which shall be the total number of rentable square feet in the Building. Tenant's proportionate share of said Impositions shall be paid, along with other monthly installments of Monthly Base Rent and CAM charges, in advance in monthly installments estimated by Landlord and subsequently adjusted, resulting from the actual Impositions exceeding (or falling short of) estimated payments. Monthly Installments for each subsequent calendar year shall thereafter be estimated by Landlord at the beginning of each such calendar year on the basis of the actual Impositions for the preceding calendar year. Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a statement certifying the actual total amount thereof and the amount of Tenant's proportionate share thereof.

Landlord for the same immediately upon receipt by Tenant of written demand therefore from Landlord.iii. Insurance. Landlord shall, during the entire Lease Term hereof, maintain in force casualty insurance on its interest in the Building in such amounts and against such hazards and contingencies as Landlord shall deem desirable for its own protection; provided, however, Landlord shall not be obligated to insure any furniture, equipment, or other property placed in the Premises by or at the expense of Tenant. Tenant shall not permit any use of the Premises that would invalidate or conflict with the terms of any hazard insurance policy covering risks insured by Landlord, excluding use as a bank.

Tenant shall at Tenant's expense, obtain and keep in force at all times during the Initial Term and Lease Term, commercial general liability insurance including, property damage on an occurrence basis with limits of not less than Two Million ($2,000,000) Dollars combined single limit insuring Landlord, Landlord's agent and property manager, as additional insureds, and Tenant against any liability arising out of the ownership, use, occupancy or maintenance of the Premises and all areas appurtenant thereto. The limit of said insurance shall not, however limit the liability of the Tenant hereunder. Tenant may carry said insurance under a blanket policy providing an endorsement naming Landlord and Landlord's agent and property manager as an additional insured. Insurance required hereunder shall be in companies licensed in the State that the Premises are located and shall have a “Best's Insurance Guide” rating of B+/VI or better.

If Monthly Base Rent or any other payment due hereunder from Tenant to Landlord remains unpaid ten (10) days after said payment is due, the amount of such unpaid rent or other payment shall be increased by a late charge to be paid to Landlord by Tenant in an amount equal to five (5%) percent of the amount of the delinquent rent or other payment after written notice is sent. The amount of the late charge to be paid for such month shall be computed on the aggregate amount of delinquent rent and other payment then outstanding for such month. Landlord and Tenant agree that such late charge shall not be deemed to be a penalty, it being understood between the pat1ies that late payments by Tenant shall result in additional administrative expense to Landlord which is difficult and impractical to ascertain and that such late charge is a reasonable estimate of the loss and expense to be suffered by Landlord as a result of such late payment by Tenant. If rent or any other sums due Landlord by Tenant hereunder shall not be paid with thirty (30) days of its due date, then in such case in addition to the late charge provided for hereinabove, and after written notice from Landlord to Tenant, such rent or other sum shall bear interest beginning on the thirty-first (31st) day after its due date at the rate of eighteen (18%) percent per annum (or, if less, the highest rate allowed by law). If rent or any other sums due Landlord by Tenant hereunder is collected by or through an attorney at law, Tenant agrees to pay Landlord's actual and reasonable attorneys' xx.xx incurred with respect thereto. Nothing herein shall relieve Tenant of the obligation to pay rent or any other payment on or before the date on which any such payment is due, nor in any way limit Landlord's remedies under this Lease or at law in the event said rent or other payment is unpaid after it is due. e. Rent Commencement Date. Unless otherwise provided, all of the terms and provisions of the Lease will be effective as of the date of Lease execution with the exception of the obligation to pay Monthly Base Rent, Additional Rent, and Impositions.

No course of dealing between Landlord and Tenant or any delay on the part of Landlord in exercising any rights it may have under this Lease shall operate as a waiver of any of the rights of Landlord hereunder nor shall any waiver ·of a prior default operate as a waiver of any subsequent default or defaults and no express waiver shall affect any condition, covenant, rule or regulation other than the one specified in such waiver and that one only for the time and in the ma1mer specifically stated. The exercise by Landlord of any one or more of the remedies provided in this Lease shall not prevent the subsequent exercise by Landlord of any one or more of the other remedies herein provided. All remedies of Landlord, may be exercised alternatively, successively or in any other manner and are in addition to any other rights provided by law. b.

Tenant shall remain liable to Landlord for any damages suffered by Landlord by Reason of Tenant's default or breach. f. The Landlord shall also be entitled to enjoin any breach or threatened breach by Tenant of any of the agreements, covenants, terms and conditions contained in this Lease, and in the event of such breach shall have all rights and remedies allowed at law, in equity, by statute, or otherwise.

Application of Payments Received from Tenant. Landlord, acting in its sole discretion, shall have the right to apply any payments made by Tenant to the satisfaction of any debt or obligation of Tenant to Landlord regardless of the instructions of Tenant as to application of any sum whether such instructions be endorsed upon Tenant's check or otherwise, unless otherwise agreed upon by both parties in writing. The acceptance by Landlord of a check drawn by others than Tenant shall in no way affect Tenant's liability hereunder nor shall it be deemed an approval of any assignment of this Lease by Tenant. 24. Subordination. Tenant shall, upon request by Landlord, subject and subordinate all or any of Its rights under this Lease to any and all mortgages and deeds of trust now existing or hereafter placed on the Building or the land upon which the Building is located; provided, however, that the holder of any such mortgage agrees in writing that Tenant will not be disturbed in the use or enjoyment of the Premises so long as it is not in default hereunder. Tenant agrees that this Lease shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any default or foreclosure under any such mortgage or deed of trust and that it will attorn to the mortgagee, trustee or beneficiary of such mortgage or deed of trust, and their successors or assigns, and to the purchaser or assignee under any such foreclosure.

Assignment or Sublet. Tenant shall not transfer, mortgage, grant a security interest in, encumber, or assign this Lease, or any interest therein, or sublease all or part of the Premises, without Landlord's advance written consent. Landlord's consent to the granting of a security interest in, or mortgaging Tenant's leasehold estate, or any interest therein, may be withheld by Landlord in Landlord's sole discretion. If the Tenant is a corporation, the sale,

transfer or encumbrance of a majority of its outstanding voting stock or equity interests (whether the result of a single or series of transactions), excluding merger, sale of assets, or consolidation with another banking institution or dissolution, shall be deemed an assignment of this Lease and shall be subject to the provisions contained herein relative to assignment. Likewise, if Tenant is a partnership, limited liability company, or any other entity, the sale, transfer or encumbrance of a majority of its voting or ownership or equity interests (whether the result of a single or series of transactions) shall be deemed an assignment of this Lease and shall be subject to the provisions contained herein relative to assignment. a. Reasonableness. The Landlord's consent shall not be considered unreasonably withheld if: i. The proposed subtenant's or assignee's financial responsibility does not meet the same criteria Landlord uses to select comparable Building tenants; ii. The proposed subtenant's or assignee's business is not suitable for the Building considering the business of the other tenants and the Building's prestige; or iii. The proposed use is inconsistent with the use permitted by Article 30. b. Procedure. Tenant must provide Landlord in writing: i. The name and address of the proposed subtenant or assignee; ii. The nature of the proposed subtenant's or assignee's business it will operate in the Premises; iii. The terms of the proposed sublease or assignment; and iv. Reasonable financial information so that Landlord can evaluate the proposed subtenant or assignee under this paragraph. Landlord shall, within thirty (30) days after receiving the information required under this Article, give notice to Tenant to permit or deny the proposed sublease or assignment. [f Landlord denies consent, it must explain the reasons for the denial. If Landlord does not give notice within the thirty (30) day periods, then Tenant may sublease or assign part or all of the Premises upon the terms Tenant gave in the information under this article. c. Conditions. Subleases and Assignments by Tenant are also subject to: i. The terms of this Lease. ii. The term shall not extend beyond the Lease Term. iii. Tenant shall remain liable for all Lease obligations.

iv. Consent to one sublease or assignment does not waive the consent requirement for future assignments or subleases. v. Fifty (50%) percent of the consideration (Excess Consideration) received by Tenant from an assignment or sublease that exceeds the amount Tenant must pay Landlord, which amount is to be prorated where a part of the Premises is subleased, shall also be paid to Landlord. Excess Consideration shall exclude reasonable leasing commissions paid by Tenant, payments attributable to the amortization of the cost of Tenant improvements made to the Premises at Tenant's cost for the assignee or sublessee, and other reasonable, out·of-pocket costs paid by Tenant, such as attorneys' fees directly related to Tenant's obtaining an assignee or sublessee. Tenant shall pay this Excess Consideration to Landlord at the end of each calendar year during which Tenant collects any Excess Consideration. Each payment shall be sent with a detailed statement showing (A) the total consideration paid by the subtenant or assignee and (B) any exclusion from the consideration permitted by this paragraph. Landlord shall have the right to audit Tenant's books and records to verify the accuracy of the detailed statement. 26. Mechanic's Liens. Tenant shall have no right to encumber or subject the interest of Landlord in the Premises to any mechanic's materialmen's, or other liens of any nature whatsoever, and upon the filing of any such lien, the failure of Tenant to have the same canceled promptly shall constitute a default and entitle Landlord at its option to take any action provided for elsewhere in this Lease. Tenant shall hold Landlord harmless from any such liens. 27. Holding Over. Upon the expiration of the term or other termination of this Lease, Tenant shall quit and surrender the Premises to Landlord, broom clean, in good order and condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted and Tenant shall remove from the Premises all of its property. If Tenant shall hold over after the expiration of this term or other termination of this Lease, such holding over shall not be deemed to be a renewal of this Lease but shall be deemed to create a tenancy-at-will and by such holding over Tenant shall be deemed to have agreed to be bound by all of the terms and conditions of this Lease except those as to the term hereof, and except that during such tenancy-at-will, Tenant shall pay One Hundred Fifty Percent (150.0%) of all monthly rentals due at that time including Monthly Base Rent, CAM, and Impositions. If any rent or other sum owing under this Lease is collected by or through an attorney-at-law, Tenant agrees to pay Landlord's reasonable attorney's fees. Tenant shall surrender all keys to the Premises to the Landlord at the place then fixed for the payment of rent and shall inform Landlord of all combinations on locks, safes and vaults, if any, in the Premises, provided, however, Tenant may, at its option, remove any vault in the Premises at the termination of this Lease, provided Tenant restores the Premises in a commercially reasonable fashion. Tenant shall, at its expense, remove from the Premises on or prior to such expiration or earlier termination all furnishings, fixtures and equipment situated thereon (including all exterior and interior signs) which are not the property of the Landlord, and Tenant shall, at is expense, on or before such expiration or earlier termination, repair any damage caused by such removal.

28. Permitted Uses. The Tenant shall use and occupy the Premises solely for use as a banking institution and/or general office purposes and for no other purpose whatsoever unless Landlord, i n its sole right and discretion consents to a change in such uses. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that the uses of the Premises set forth herein are a critical element of the bargain of the parties hereto and that actual and substantial detriment will result to Landlord and other tenants and occupants of the Building in the event that a change or deviation in such uses shall occur or be permitted without the express written consent herein required. 29. Compliance With Law and Contracts. Tenant shall, at its expense, comply with and shall cause the Premises and Tenant's employees, agents, contractors and subcontractors to comply with all governmental statutes, laws, rules, orders, regulations and ordinances affecting the Premises or any pa11thereof, or the use therefore, at any time during the Lease Term, including without limitation, the Americans With Disabilities Act ("ADA"). Tenant shall, at its expense, comply with the requirements of all policies of insurance which at any time may be in force with respect to the Premises, and with the provisions of all contracts, agreements and restrictions affecting the Premises or any part thereof or the occupancy or use thereof. Provided, however, Tenant shall not be responsible for any capital improvements to the Premises or any part thereof to comply with ADA unless such improvements are directly related to Tenant's use of the Premises or any part thereof. 30. Waiver. It is further understood and agreed that waiver by Landlord of any default or breach of any covenant, condition or agreement herein shall not be construed to be a waiver of that covenant, condition or agreement or of any subsequent breach thereof. The acceptance of rent by Landlord with knowledge of the breach of any covenant of this Lease shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach. No delay or omission of Landlord to exercise any right or power arising from any default on part of Tenant shall impair any such right or power, or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such default or acquiescence thereto. 31. Quiet Enjoyment. Landlord covenants, represents and warrants that it has the full right and authority to lease the Premises upon the terms and conditions herein set forth; and that Tenant shall peacefully and quietly hold and enjoy the Premises for the full term hereof so long as it does not default in the performance of any of its agreements hereunder. 32. Transfer of Landlord's Interest.
