LEASE AGREEMENT

THIS LEASE AGREEMENT, made as of the 1st day of December, 2009, by and between RICHARD J. DLESK, SR. and SHARON G. NEIS-DLESK, hereinafter called “Landlord”, party of the first part, and PROGRESSIVE BANK, N.A., a West Virginia corporation, hereinafter called “Tenant”, party of the second part.

W I T N E S S E T H:

THAT, for and in consideration of the rents, covenants and agreements hereinafter mentioned, the Landlord does hereby agree to lease to Tenant, and Tenant does hereby agree to lease from Landlord, the Premises set forth below subject to the following terms and conditions.

Article 1

Location and Description of Premises

Landlord hereby leases to Tenant, and Tenant hereby leases from Landlord, upon the terms and conditions herein set forth, the premises generally known as 590 National Road and the lots generally known as 4 and 6 Merwin Street, all of which are located in Wheeling, Ohio County, West Virginia, and more particularly described in Exhibit “A” attached hereto (the “Premises”), subject to all matters hereinafter set forth and upon and subject to the covenants, agreements, terms, provisions and conditions of this lease for the term hereinafter stated.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord hereby reserves unto themselves the right to utilize a portion of the basement in the building located at 590 National Road for storage purposes, as shown on Exhibit “B” attached hereto. Landlord’s usage of this storage area shall not interfere with Tenant’s quiet enjoyment of the remaining portion of such basement area and shall be completely separate and without any access to the Tenant’s Premises.

Article 2

Term

Section 2.1. Initial Lease Term; Renewal Options.

The initial lease term shall be for a period of seven (7) years commencing as of December 1, 2009, until midnight on November 30, 2016. Provided that Tenant is not in default of the terms and conditions under this lease, Tenant shall have the right to exercise three (3) successive five (5) year renewal options. Tenant shall exercise the option to renew by notifying Landlord in writing no later than ninety (90) days prior to the expiration of the initial term or any preceding renewal terms of this lease.

Article 3

Rental

Section 3.1. Rental.

During the initial term and renewal(s) of this lease, Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord the following rentals:

(a) During the initial term, the monthly amount of Seven Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($7,500.00).

(b) During the first renewal term, the monthly amount of Seven Thousand Eight Hundred Seventy-five Dollars ($7,875.00).

(c) During the second renewal term, the monthly sum of Eight Thousand Two Hundred Sixty-eight Dollars and Seventy-five Cents ($8,268.75).

(d) During the third renewal term, the monthly sum of Eight Thousand Six Hundred Eighty-two Dollars and Nineteen Cents ($8,682.19).

All installments of rental are due in advance and shall be paid on the first day of each month. Any payments for any period other than a full calendar month shall be prorated based upon the number of actual days in such month. All rental payments and additional rent, if any, shall be paid without counterclaim, setoff, deduction or defense.

Article 4

Late Charges

Tenant hereby acknowledges that late payment to Landlord of rent 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. If any rent or other sum due from Tenant is not received by Landlord within five (5) days after the due date, and after Landlord has given Tenant five (5) days’ written notice of such failure, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late charge equal to ten percent (10%) of the delinquent amount due. The parties hereby agree that such late charges represent a fair and reasonable estimate of the cost that Landlord will incur by reason of Tenant’s late payment. Landlord’s acceptance of such late charges will not constitute a waiver of Tenant’s default with respect to such overdue amount or estop Landlord from exercising any of the other rights and remedies granted hereunder, or available at law or equity.

 

3


Article 5

Use of the Premises

Tenant shall occupy and continuously use the demised Premises for the operation of a commercial office building and/or banking facility and related activities as may be permitted by law.

Tenant shall also pay, prior to the time the same shall become delinquent or payable with penalty, all taxes imposed on its inventory, furniture, trade fixtures, apparatus, equipment, leasehold improvements installed by Tenant (except to the extent such leasehold improvements shall be covered by taxes referred to above), and any other personal property of Tenant.

Tenant shall also be responsible for the payment when due of any and all service fees and taxes imposed on the real property and improvements comprising the Premises during the period of occupancy under this lease or any continuation thereof. Service fees and taxes for any partial year of occupancy shall be prorated.

All such improvements shall be at Tenant’s sole cost.

Tenant shall have the right to make non-structural improvements to the interior of the Premises, which improvements shall become the property of Landlord upon completion.

Section 7.2. Mechanic’s Liens.

Tenant shall promptly pay all persons furnishing labor or materials with respect to any work performed by Tenant or its contractor on or about the Premises. If any mechanic’s lien or other lien shall be filed against the Premises by reason of work, labor, services or materials performed or furnished, or alleged to have been performed or furnished, to Tenant or to anyone holding the Premises through or under Tenant, Tenant shall within ten (10) days thereafter cause the same to be discharged of record or bonded to the satisfaction of Landlord. If Landlord shall incur any attorney’s fees by reason of the filing of any such action, Tenant shall be obligated for the payment of such fees. If Tenant shall fail to cause such lien to be so discharged or bonded within the time period specified above, then, in addition to any other right or remedy of Landlord, Landlord may bond or discharge the same by paying the amount claimed to be due, and the amount so paid by Landlord, including reasonable attorney’s fees incurred by Landlord either in defending against such lien or in procuring the bonding or discharge of such lien shall be due and payable by Tenant to Landlord as additional rent.

Tenant shall have the benefit under any of Landlord’s warranties covering the Premises including, but not limited to, roof repairs, heating and cooling systems and electrical fixtures. In such regard, Landlord will assist Tenant, if necessary, in enforcing such warranties. All mechanical systems shall be placed into good working order and the roof shall be inspected and rendered watertight by Landlord prior to acceptance by Tenant but no later than December 1, 2009.

Tenant shall pay for all water, gas, heat, light, power, sewer charges, telephone installation and service charges, security system, and for all other services and utilities supplied to the Premises, together with any tax, excise or surcharge thereon.

If Landlord is required to construct new or additional utility installations, including, without limitation, wiring, plumbing, conduits, and mains, resulting from Tenant’s changed or increased requirements, Tenant shall on demand pay to Landlord, in advance of installation, the total cost of such installation.

Article 12

Damage and Destruction

Section 12.1. Tenant’s Obligation to Repair.

If the existing Premises shall be damaged by fire, the elements, accident or other casualty, but the Premises shall not be thereby rendered wholly or partially untenantable, Tenant shall promptly cause such damage to be repaired and there shall be no abatement of rental. If, as the result of such casualty, the Premises

 

9


shall be rendered wholly or partially untenantable, then Tenant shall cause such damage to be repaired as promptly as possible. Landlord shall not be liable for interruption to Tenant’s business or for damage to or replacement of repair of Tenant’s personal property (including, without limitation, inventory, trade fixtures, floor coverings, furniture and other property removable by Tenant under the provisions of this lease) or to any leasehold improvement installed in the Premises by or on behalf of Tenant, all of which damage, replacement or repair shall be undertaken and completed by Tenant promptly, unless such interruption or damage shall have been caused by Landlord, his agents, employees, contractors, or invitees.

If the Premises are (a) rendered wholly untenantable, or (b) damaged as a result of any cause which is not covered by Tenant’s insurance, or (c) the Premises is damaged to the extent of fifty percent (50%) or more, then, in any of such events, Tenant may elect to terminate this lease by giving to Landlord notice of such election within ninety (90) days after the occurrence of such event. If such notice is given, the rights and obligations of the parties shall cease as of the date of such notice, and rental (other than any additional rental due Landlord) shall be adjusted as of the date of such termination.

Section 12.3. Demolition of Landlord’s Building.

If Landlord’s building comprising the demised Premises shall be so substantially damaged that it is reasonably necessary, in Landlord’s sole judgment, to demolish such building for the purpose of reconstruction, Landlord may demolish the same, in which event the rental shall be abated to the same extent as if the Premises were rendered untenantable by a casualty.

Section 12.4. Insurance Proceeds.

If Tenant does not elect to terminate this lease pursuant to Section 12.2, Tenant shall, subject to the prior rights of any mortgagee, disburse and apply any insurance proceeds received to the restoration and rebuilding of the building and Premises as existed prior to the damage or loss. In the event of termination under Section 12.2, all insurance proceeds payable with respect to the Premises shall belong to and shall be payable to Landlord.

Article 13

Condemnation

If the whole of the demised Premises, or such portion thereof as will make the demised Premises unsuitable for the purposes herein leased, is condemned for any public use or any purpose by any legally constituted authority, then in either of such events, this lease shall cease and terminate from the time when possession is

 

10


taken by such public authority, and rental shall be accounted for between the Landlord and the Tenant as of the date of the surrender of possession. The Tenant shall have no rights in or to any award made to the Landlord by the condemning authority. Tenant shall have the right to maintain any claim and receive a separate award from the condemning authority as may be allowed under West Virginia law.

Article 14

Assignment and Subletting; Encumbrances

Tenant shall have the right to sublet all or any portion of the Premises; provided, however, that Tenant, for itself, its permitted successors and assigns, expressly covenants that it shall not assign, mortgage or encumber this agreement, nor sublet, or suffer or permit any portion of the demised Premises or any part thereof to be used by others, without the prior written consent of Landlord in each instance, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Transfer of the majority of the stock of a corporate Tenant shall be deemed an assignment. If this lease be assigned, or if the demised Premises or any part thereof be sublet or occupied by anybody other than Tenant, Landlord may, after default by Tenant, collect rental from the assignee, sub-tenant or occupant, and apply the net amount collected to the rental herein reserved, but no such assignment, subletting, occupancy or collection shall be deemed a waiver of this covenant, or the acceptance of the assignee, sub-tenant or occupant as tenant, or a release of Tenant from the further performance by Tenant of covenants on the part of Tenant herein contained. The consent by Landlord to an assignment or subletting shall not be construed to relieve Tenant from obtaining the express written consent of Landlord to any further assignment or subletting.

Article 15

Default, Insolvency, and Remedies

Section 15.1. Events of Default.

Upon Tenant’s default in the performance of any of the terms or conditions of this lease Landlord may, five (5) days after receipt by Tenant of notice in writing of default in payment of any rent, additional rent or other sums due, or fifteen (15) days after receipt by Tenant of notice of default in any other term or condition of the lease, at its option and without further notice to Tenant, terminate this lease and take possession of the Premises forthwith, unless Tenant shall have corrected the default within the period of the notice.

If Tenant shall file a petition in bankruptcy or be adjudicated a bankrupt, or if Tenant shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or take advantage of any insolvency act, or if a receiver shall be appointed for Tenant or its property, and such action or proceeding shall no be discharged within thirty (30) days,

 

11


Landlord may terminate this lease forthwith upon written notice to Tenant. In the event that more than two (2) events of default with regard to rent payments shall occur in any twelve-month period, Landlord shall not be required during the remainder of the term of this lease or any renewal thereof to send written notice before proceeding with its remedies, and Tenant expressly waives any such notice under this lease.

Upon any termination of this lease as herein provided, Landlord may re-enter the Premises either by force or otherwise, and Tenant expressly waives any notice of the proceedings required by law to be given preliminarily to a re-entry by Landlord; and Tenant hereby agrees that in case of such termination, or in case of such re-entry or attempted re-entry by Landlord, Tenant will pay to Landlord a sum which, at the time of the happening of either of the aforesaid events, equals the rent and other payments herein specified for the balance of the term of this lease, such sum to be due and payable forthwith. Upon any such re-entry Landlord may, as agent for Tenant, relet the Premises or any part thereof, and any rents so received shall be applied: first, to the cost of recovering possession of the Premises, including costs and attorney’s fees in the amount of fifteen percent (l5%) of the total amount owed by Tenant; second, to the cost of reletting; third, to any expense of restoring the Premises to proper condition pursuant to any obligations of Tenant hereunder; and fourth, on account of the rent due from, or as reimbursement of any rent paid by Tenant, holding Tenant responsible for any deficiency. Landlord’s right of re-entry hereunder shall be deemed to include the right to enter and remove Tenant and those claiming under it by means of summary or such other proceedings as prescribed by law, and Landlord shall have the right to invoke any other remedy provided by law in case of breach of any of the covenants of this lease by Tenant.

Section 15.2. No Waiver.

If Landlord institutes legal proceedings against Tenant as to any matter under this lease and a compromise or settlement is made, Landlord shall not be deemed to have waived any rights under this lease except as explicitly set forth in a written agreement signed by Landlord evidencing such compromise or settlement. No waiver by Landlord of any breach or any covenant, condition, or agreement in this lease shall operate as a waiver of such covenant or condition itself or of any subsequent breach thereof. No payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount than the monthly installments of rental herein stipulated shall be deemed to be other than a payment on account, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any payment or letter accompanying any payment of rental be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such payment without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the balance of such rental or to pursue any other remedy provided in this lease. No re-entry by Landlord, and no acceptance by Landlord or its agents of keys from Tenant, shall be considered an acceptance of a surrender of this lease.

 

12


Section 15.3. Right of Landlord to Cure Default.

If Tenant defaults in the performance of any of its obligations under this lease, then Landlord shall have the right, but not the duty, to perform such obligation, and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any costs and expenses thereby incurred, together with administrative costs of fifteen percent (15%), from the date such costs and expenses are incurred by Landlord to the date of payment thereof by Tenant. Such payment and interest shall constitute additional rental hereunder, which shall be due and payable with the next monthly installment of rent; but the making of such payment or the taking of such action by Landlord shall not operate to cure such default or to estop Landlord from the pursuit of any remedy to which Landlord would otherwise by entitled.

Article 16

Estoppel Certificate; Subordination and Attornment

At any time and from time to time, both parties agree, upon request in writing from the other, to execute and deliver to the requesting party, for the benefit of such persons as the party names in such request, a statement in writing and in form and substance satisfactory certifying to such of the following information: (i) that this lease constitutes the entire agreement between Landlord and Tenant and is unmodified and in full force and effect (or if there have been modifications, that the same is in full force and effect as modified and stating the modifications), (ii) the dates to which the rent and other charges hereunder have been paid; (iii) that the lease term has commenced, that Tenant is occupying the Premises and Tenant knows of no default under the lease by the Landlord and that there are no defaults or offsets which Tenant has against enforcement of this lease by Landlord; (iv) the actual commencement date of the lease and the expiration date of the lease; and (v) that the Tenant’s business is actively operating.

Tenant agrees that, upon the written request of Landlord, Tenant will subordinate this lease to all ground or underlying leases and to all mortgages which may now or hereafter affect such leases of the real property of which the demised Premises are a part and to all renewal, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions of any such underlying leases and mortgages; provided, however, that it shall be a condition of such subordination that simultaneously therewith the holder of any such mortgage shall enter into an agreement with Tenant, to the effect that in the event of foreclosure or other right asserted under the mortgage by the holder or any assignee thereof, this lease and the rights of Tenant hereunder shall continue in full force and effect and shall not be terminated or disturbed except in accordance with the provisions of this lease. Tenant agrees that if the mortgagee or any person claiming under the mortgage shall succeed to the interest of Landlord in this lease as aforesaid, it will recognize said mortgage or person as its landlord under the terms of this lease. Subject to the foregoing, Tenant agrees that it will, upon the request of Landlord, execute, acknowledge and deliver any and

all instruments necessary or desirable to give effect to or notice of such subordination and attornment.

Article 18

Inspection of Premises

Tenant will permit Landlord, their agents, employees and contractors to enter all parts of the Premises during reasonable hours to inspect the same and to enforce or carry out any provision of this lease, including, without limitation, any access necessary for the making of any repairs which are Landlord’s obligation hereunder; provided that, in an emergency situation, such access shall be at any time upon the oral request by Landlord or his agents. Throughout the term or any renewal thereof, Landlord or his agents shall have the right to enter the Premises at reasonable hours for the purpose of showing the same to prospective purchasers or mortgagees of the building, and during the last three (3) months of the initial term or renewal term for the purpose of showing the same to prospective tenants.

Article 19

Quiet Enjoyment

Landlord covenants and agrees that, upon payment by Tenant of all rent reserved herein and observance and performance of all of the provisions of this lease to be observed or performed by Tenant, Tenant shall peaceably and quietly hold and enjoy the Premises for the term and any renewal thereof without hindrance or molestation by Landlord or anyone lawfully claiming by, through or under Landlord, subject, nevertheless, to the terms and conditions of this lease and to easements, covenants, conditions and restrictions of record.

Article 20

Continued Possession

Provided that Tenant is not in default at the termination of this lease or any renewal thereof, continued possession by Tenant after the termination of this lease

 

14


shall create a tenancy from month to month under the same terms and conditions and at a rental of not less than the monthly rental rate payable during the last month of occupancy under the lease. Either party may terminate the monthly tenancy upon written notice to the other of not less than thirty (30) days from the first day of any month.

Article 21

End of Term; Removal of Tenant’s Property

Upon the expiration or other termination of the term or any renewal thereof of this lease, Tenant shall quit and surrender to Landlord the demised Premises broom clean, in good order and condition, ordinary wear and tear and damages which Tenant is not required to repair as provided elsewhere in this lease excepted. Tenant’s obligation to observe or perform this covenant shall survive the expiration or other termination of this lease.

Provided Tenant is not in default at the termination of this lease, Tenant shall have the right to remove all of its property and fixtures on the demised Premises provided that such removal is accomplished prior to the end of the term or any renewal or extension thereof and further provided that any damage to the demised Premises occasioned by said removal is fully repaired. All of Tenant’s personal property not removed from the demised Premises when Tenant leaves the Premises shall be conclusively presumed to have been abandoned by Tenant and shall forthwith become Landlord’s property.

Article 22

Successors and Assigns

The terms and conditions of this lease shall bind and inure to the benefit of the heirs, personal representatives, successors and permitted assigns of the respective parties hereto.

No failure by Landlord to insist upon the strict performance of any agreement, term, covenant or condition hereof, or to exercise any right or remedy consequent upon a breach thereof, and no acceptance of full or partial rental during the continuance of any such breach, shall constitute a waiver of any such breach, agreement, term, covenant or condition.

Section 23.12. No Representations by Landlord.

Tenant acknowledges that neither Landlord nor any broker, agent, or employee of Landlord has made any representations or promises with respect to the demised Premises or the building except as herein expressly set forth, and no rights, privileges, assessments or licenses are acquired by Tenant except as herein expressly provided. The Tenant, by taking possession of the demised Premises, shall accept the same “as is,” and such taking of possession shall be conclusive evidence that the demised Premises and all buildings and improvements are in good and satisfactory condition at the time of such taking or possession. Tenant expressly acknowledges that it understands and is aware that the basement of the building located at 590 National Road is in a flood zone and may be subject to periodic flooding, which risk is hereby assumed entirely by the Tenant.

Notwithstanding the above, Landlord represents and warrants that they haves no knowledge that any “hazardous substance” (as such term is defined herein) is located on, over or under the Premises or the improvements thereon. To the best of Landlord’s knowledge, there is no pending or threatened legal action or proceeding or investigation by a governmental authority relating to hazardous substances in, on or about the Premises. As used herein, the term “hazardous substance” shall mean any substance which shall be listed as “hazardous” or “toxic” in the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, 42 U.S.C. §9601, et seq., the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, 42 U.S.C. §6901, et seq., or the Toxic Substances Control Act, 15 U.S.C. §2601, et seq., as amended or the regulations implementing such acts.

In the event that any “hazardous substance” or other adverse environmental condition affecting the Premises is discovered by Tenant which existed or arose prior to the commencement of this lease and is not the result of any action occurring during the term of the lease or any renewal, Landlord shall indemnify and hold harmless the Tenant from any and all claims, liabilities, or other expenses associated with any and all remediation measures required to be taken to abate such “hazardous substance” or adverse environmental condition. The provisions of this paragraph shall survive the termination of this lease.

Section 23.13. Assignment by Landlord.

Landlord may freely assign their interest hereunder. The term “Landlord” as used herein shall be deemed to relate only to a person or entity during the time of their ownership of the Landlord’s interest in this lease, and no obligation of any landlord arising during the time of such ownership shall be deemed to devolve upon or be assumed by any successor landlord, nor shall a default by any landlord be claimed against any successor landlord or be used as a defense or setoff as to any obligation of Tenant arising hereunder during the period of ownership of any successor landlord.

Section 23.14. Counterparts.

This lease may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument.

Section 23.15. Landlord’s Improvements.

Upon execution of this lease, Landlord shall undertake, at their sole cost and in a reasonably timely manner, the removal of the current structures located at 4 and 6 Merwin Street to permit the property to be used as a surface parking lot for approximately eleven (11) parking spaces by Tenant. In this regard, Landlord shall ensure that upon removal of the structures, these parcels will be properly filled and graded to an elevation designated by the Tenant which shall cause the parcels to be paved at its sole cost for parking purposes.

Section 23.16. Right of First Refusal.

Landlord hereby grants to Tenant an option to exercise a right of first refusal for the purchase of the real property and improvements generally comprising the Premises as set forth in Exhibit “A”. Landlord shall provide to Tenant a copy of any bona fide offer received from any third party. Tenant shall have a period of fifteen (15) days after receipt of such offer in which to give written notice to Landlord of its exercise of the right of first refusal. In the event such right of first refusal is exercised, Landlord and Tenant shall consummate such real estate transaction pursuant to the terms and conditions of the third party’s bona fide offer and within a reasonable time thereafter not to exceed forty-five (45) days.

In the event that Tenant does not provide written notice of its exercise of the right of first refusal granted herein within the time designated above, such right of first refusal shall have been deemed waived and this Agreement shall terminate and be without further force and effect. In such event, Tenant shall execute and deliver such instrument as may be provided by Landlord to acknowledge the termination of the right of first refusal. Provided, however, that in the event that Tenant does not exercise its right of first refusal, and the real estate transaction set forth in the third party’s bona fide offer is not consummated within sixty (60) days after Tenant receives a copy of such bona fide offer, then the right of first refusal granted to Tenant shall not be waived or terminated and any future bona fide offer from a third party to Landlord shall likewise be subject to Tenant’s right of first refusal.
