Exhibit 10.17




			
	 	 	 
	Waiver and First Amendment

to Loan Documents
	 	
	 	 	 






     THIS WAIVER AND FIRST AMENDMENT TO LOAN DOCUMENTS (this “Amendment”) is made as of June
30, 2010, by and between PARKVALE FINANCIAL CORPORATION (the “Borrower”), and PNC BANK, NATIONAL
ASSOCIATION (the “Bank”).



BACKGROUND




     A. The Borrower has executed and delivered to the Bank one or more promissory notes, letter
agreements, loan agreements, security agreements, mortgages, pledge agreements, collateral
assignments, and other agreements, instruments, certificates and documents, some or all of which
are more fully described on attached Exhibit A, which is made a part of this Amendment
(collectively as amended from time to time, the “Loan Documents”) which evidence or secure some or
all of the Borrower’s obligations to the Bank for one or more loans or other extensions of credit
(the “Obligations”).



     B. The Borrower and the Bank desire to amend the Loan Documents, and to waive certain defaults
thereunder, as provided for in this Amendment.



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



     1. Certain of the Loan Documents are amended, and certain defaults under the Loan Documents
are waived, as set forth in Exhibit A. Any and all references to any Loan Document in any other
Loan Document shall be deemed to refer to such Loan Document as amended by this Amendment. This
Amendment is deemed incorporated into each of the Loan Documents. Any initially capitalized terms
used in this Amendment without definition shall have the meanings assigned to those terms in the
Loan Documents. To the extent that any term or provision of this Amendment is or may be
inconsistent with any term or provision in any Loan Document, the terms and provisions of this
Amendment shall control.



     2. The Borrower hereby certifies that: (a) all of its representations and warranties in the
Loan Documents, as amended by this Amendment, are, except as may otherwise be stated in this
Amendment: (i) true and correct as of the date of this Amendment, (ii) ratified and confirmed
without condition as if made anew, and (iii) incorporated into this Amendment by reference, (b) no
Event of Default or event which, with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both, would
constitute an Event of Default, exists under any Loan Document which will not be cured by the
execution and effectiveness of this Amendment, (c) no consent, approval, order or authorization of,
or registration or filing with, any third party is required in connection with the execution,
delivery and carrying out of this Amendment or, if required, has been obtained, and (d) this
Amendment has been duly authorized, executed and delivered so that it constitutes the legal, valid
and binding obligation of the Borrower, enforceable in accordance with its terms. The Borrower
confirms that the Obligations remain outstanding without defense, set off, counterclaim, discount
or charge of any kind as of the date of this Amendment.



     3. The Borrower hereby confirms that all collateral for the Obligations, including liens,
security interests, mortgages, and pledges granted by the Borrower or third parties (if
applicable), shall continue unimpaired and in full force and effect, and shall cover and secure all
of the Borrower’s existing and future Obligations to the Bank, as modified by this Amendment.



     4. As a condition precedent to the effectiveness of this Amendment, the Borrower shall comply
with the terms and conditions (if any) specified in Exhibit A.








 









 











     5. To induce the Bank to enter into this Amendment, the Borrower waives and releases and
forever discharges the Bank and its officers, directors, attorneys, agents, and employees from any
liability, damage, claim, loss or expense of any kind that it may have against the Bank or any of
them arising out of or relating to the Obligations. The Borrower further agrees to indemnify and
hold the Bank and its officers, directors, attorneys, agents and employees harmless from any loss,
damage, judgment, liability or expense (including attorneys’ fees) suffered by or rendered against
the Bank or any of them on account of any claims arising out of or relating to the Obligations. The
Borrower further states that it has carefully read the foregoing release and indemnity, knows the
contents thereof and grants the same as its own free act and deed.



     6. This Amendment may be signed in any number of counterpart copies and by the parties to this
Amendment on separate counterparts, but all such copies shall constitute one and the same
instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Amendment by facsimile
transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart. Any party so
executing this Amendment by facsimile transmission shall promptly deliver a manually executed
counterpart, provided that any failure to do so shall not affect the validity of the counterpart
executed by facsimile transmission.



     7. This Amendment will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower and the Bank
and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns.



     8. This Amendment has been delivered to and accepted by the Bank and will be deemed to be
made in the State where the Bank’s office indicated in the Loan Documents is located. This
Amendment will be interpreted and the rights and liabilities of the parties hereto determined in
accordance with the laws of the State where the Bank’s office indicated in the Loan Documents is
located, excluding its conflict of laws rules.



     9. Except as amended hereby, the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents remain unchanged,
are and shall remain in full force and effect unless and until modified or amended in writing in
accordance with their terms, and are hereby ratified and confirmed. Except as expressly provided
herein, this Amendment shall not constitute an amendment, waiver, consent or release with respect
to any provision of any Loan Document, a waiver of any default or Event of Default under any Loan
Document, or a waiver or release of any of the Bank’s rights and remedies (all of which are hereby
reserved). The Borrower expressly ratifies and confirms the confession of judgment (if applicable)
and waiver of jury trial provisions contained in the Loan Documents.

December 31, 2009, and March 31, 2010. The Borrower’s failure to comply with each of the
foregoing covenants constitutes an Event of Default under the Loan Documents. The Borrower has
requested that the Bank waive the Events of Default. In reliance upon the Borrower’s
representations and warranties and subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the
Bank agrees to grant a waiver of the Borrower’s non-compliance with each of the
above-referenced covenants and of the Events of Default that would otherwise result from a
violation of such covenants, solely for the above-referenced periods. The Borrower agrees that
it will hereafter comply fully with these covenants and all other provisions of the Loan
Documents, which remain in full force and effect except as modified by this Amendment. Except
as expressly described in this Amendment, this waiver shall not constitute (a) a modification
or an alteration of the terms, conditions or covenants of the Loan Documents or (b) a waiver,
release or limitation upon the Bank’s exercise of any of its rights and remedies thereunder,
which are hereby expressly reserved. This waiver shall not relieve or release the Borrower in
any way from any of its respective duties, obligations, covenants or agreements under the Loan
Documents or from the consequences of any Event of Default thereunder, except as expressly
described above. This waiver shall not obligate the Bank, or be construed to require the Bank,
to waive any other Events of Default or defaults, whether now existing or which may occur
