(a)  Connector Building. It is the intention of the parties for Landlord to construct, as part of the Basic Building work, a new building containing approximately 36,165 rentable square feet in the area between  1700 Pennbrook and 2100 Pennbrook, to serve as a connector building between the two existing buildings (the "Connector Building") and to make appropriate connections between the Connector Building and 1700 Pennbrook and 2100 Pennbrook, so that the three buildings become one combined building in terms of function, use and appearance, and to improve the interior of the Connector Building and certain portions of 1700 Pennbrook and 2100 Pennbrook and the exterior of the Property (as hereinafter defined), all as more fully set forth in this Lease.  Effective as of the Conversion (as defined below), Landlord hereby leases to Tenant and Tenant hereby leases from Landlord the Premises as shown on attached Exhibit "A" within the Building (the Building and all of the land shown on Exhibit "A-2" being called the "Property"), together with the non-exclusive right with Landlord and other occupants of the Building, if any, to use all areas and facilities provided by Landlord for the use of all tenants of the Property, including any driveways, patio areas, sidewalks and parking, loading and landscaped areas (the "Common Areas").  Tenant shall have the right to use the stairwells and elevators in the Building to access the Premises, including the right to install an electronic access system controlling the doors in the stairwell, and/or the opening of elevator doors, providing access directly into the Premises or into the floors on which Tenant is the sole occupant.   Landlord shall not give any third party the right to use, lease or occupy any portion of the Property, unless and until Tenant has elected not to lease all of the rentable square feet within the Building.

 

(b)  Parking. There shall be available for Tenant's use not less than 734 parking spaces located in the parking area associated with the Building as shown on Exhibit "A-3" (the "Parking Area") during the Term, subject to such terms, conditions and regulations as are from time to time applicable to patrons of the Parking Area as promulgated in the reasonable discretion of the Landlord.  During any time that Tenant is not the sole tenant of the Building, Tenant shall have the right to use a pro rata share of such parking spaces on a "first come, first served" basis based on the rentable square feet of the Premises as compared to the entire Building.   So long as the entire Building is leased to Tenant, Tenant shall have the right to designate "visitor" and "reserved" parking spaces near the entrance to the Building in such numbers as Tenant may elect. In addition, so long as Tenant leases at least 95,920 rentable square feet, Tenant shall have the right to twenty (20) reserved parking spaces at a location near the main entrance to the portion of the Premises then leased by Tenant, the exact location of such spaces to be determined by Tenant and Landlord.  Tenant shall be responsible for the cost of constructing the loading dock area identified as "Tenant Loading Area" on Exhibit "A-3L", which cost may be deducted from the Tenant Improvements Allowance.

 

(c)  Construction.

 

(i)  Landlord, at Landlord's sole cost, shall construct the building and site improvements specified in Exhibit "A-1" and shown on Exhibit "A-3" (the "Basic Building"), subject to such modifications as shall be required by Upper Gwynedd Township and which Landlord and Tenant shall work cooperatively and in good faith to approve in their reasonable discretion. Landlord shall use new components in the Connector Building and in other modifications of the Basic Building. Landlord shall complete the Basic Building substantially in accordance with the Basic Building specifications set forth in Exhibit "A-1" and as shown on Exhibit "A-3".

(ii)  Tenant has caused to be prepared preliminary plans and specifications for the finish of the interior of the Building (the "Tenant Improvements"), which preliminary plans and specifications are attached hereto as Exhibit "A-4" (the "Preliminary TI Plans").  Not later than fifteen (15) days after the date of the Conversion Notice (as hereinafter defined), Tenant shall cause the project architect to submit final Tenant Improvements plans (including lobby finishes) (the "Final TI Plans") to Landlord that are consistent with the Preliminary TI Plans.  Upon submission, Landlord shall review the Final TI Plans and provide notice to Tenant of its approval or rejection of same within five (5) days after submission, subject to any required review by Lender, which approval Landlord shall use its best diligent efforts to receive in a timely manner. Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold or delay its approval of such Final TI Plans and shall only reject such Final TI Plans if such Final TI Plans (l) are incomplete, (II) are not in compliance with all applicable building code requirements, (ill) are incompatible with Building floor load limits, (IV) cause the Building mechanical  or electrical systems to be insufficient to provide adequate service to the Premises, or (V) include improvements which are not considered normal office fit-out that Landlord requires to be removed upon the termination of the Term in a manner consistent with the requirements of Schedule 2l(a).  IfLandlord (or Lender) shall reject such  Final TI Plans,  Landord shall include in such notice detailed reasons for such rejection together with requested modifications.   Inthe case of any rejection, Landlord shall work with Tenant diligently and in good faith to correct any matter which causes Landlord's rejection.  IfLandlord fails to respond to the initially submitted, or any re-submitted, Final TI Plans within such five (5) day period after submission to Landlord, subject to any required review by Lender, then Landlord's approval thereto shall be deemed granted.  Tenant shall have the Final TI Plans revised and resubmitted to Landlord within five (5) days of receipt of any notice of rejection from Landlord, and the process set forth above shall be employed, until all of Landlord's objections to the Final TI Plans have been satisfied.  Once approved by Landlord, the Final TI Plans shall be deemed the "TI Plans" and to be attached to this Lease in substitution for Exhibit "A-4".  The date of Landlord's approval or deemed approval of the Final TI Plans shall be referred to herein as the "Tl Plans Approval Date".

 

(iii)  If the TI Plans Approval Date has not occurred by the date (the "TI Plans Approval Deadline") which is thirty (30) days after the later of the Conversion or the date of the Conversion Notice, other than as a result of delay caused by either Landlord's failure to comply with its obligations under Section 2(c)(iii), or by the Lender's review and approval process, then Landlord may notify Tenant of such failure, in which event: (A) the Target Commencement Date shall be extended by one day for each such day of delay after the TI Plans Approval Deadline and prior to the TI Plans Approval Date (the "Delay Period"); (B) the Early Entry Period shall be decreased by one day for each day of the Delay Period, and (C) if Landlord Substantially Completes the Basic Building and Common Areas, but is unable to Substantially Complete the Tenant Improvements as the result of a delay in the TI Plans Approval Date not resulting from delay caused by Landlord or by the Lender's review and approval process, so long as Landlord has proceeded diligently and in good faith to Substantially Complete the Tenant Improvements, then Tenant's obligation to pay Minimum Annual Rent and Annual Operating Expenses shall commence (notwithstanding that the Commencement Date has not yet occurred) on the date which is the one hundred twelfth (I 12th) day after construction of the Connector Building has reached the Shell Completion Stage (as hereinafter defined), but in no event prior to July I, 2013. Ifsubsequent to such commencement the Commencement Date does not occur within a period of time equal to the number of days in the Delay Period, then Tenant's rental obligations for the Connector Building under this Lease shall abate thereafter until the Commencement Date occurs.

(iv)  Tenant shall assign all of its rights in the TI Plans prepared for the Tenant Improvements to Landlord, including, without limitation, design and engineering warranties. Landlord shall, at Tenant's cost, but subject to the Tenant Improvements Allowance, complete the Tenant Improvements pursuant to the TI Plans. Tenant shall not be responsible for the construction of the Tenant's Improvements.  Tenant shall have the right to institute changes to the TI Plans, at any time prior to the Construction Contract Bid Date (as defined below), in which event the revised TI Plans shall be substituted for Exhibit "A-4" and constitute the TI Plans.  If Tenant requests any change to the TI Plans after the Construction Contract Bid Date, Landlord shall advise Tenant of the cost thereof and whether in Landlord's good faith opinion any delay will result therefrom, and may reject such change on account of any delay, unless Tenant agrees to reasonable modifications to the timing provisions in this Lease on account of such delay.  If Tenant chooses to proceed with such change, Tenant will be solely responsible for the cost thereof.

 

(d)  Engineering, Space Design and Layout. In addition to the Tenant Improvement Allowance, Landlord shall provide to Tenant for Tenant's engineering, space design and layout costs an amount not to exceed $18,082.50 (the "Space Plan Allowance").

(e)  Tenant Improvements Allowance.

Once the Tenant lmprovements Allowance has been fully paid and exhausted in accordance with this Lease, Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord, within thirty (30) days after receipt of a bill (with supporting AIA documentation, approved by Landlord and the project architect), all actual Excess Costs (as defined below), as the same may be increased by any change order approved by Tenant, in excess of the Tenant's lmprovements Allowance, incurred by Landlord in connection with the Tenant lmprovements.

(f)  Competitive Bids for Tenant lmprovements.  Within five (5) days after completion and approval of the TI Plans, the project architect will prepare a contractor bid package for approval  by Landlord and Tenant, such bid package to have a clear delineation between the Basic Building work and the Tenant lmprovements work in accordance with Exhibit A-1 and the TI Plans.  Such approved bid package shall be submitted promptly by Landlord to Penntex, The Norwood Company and Shields Construction Company for the Tenant lmprovements work, the date of such submission being the "Construction Contract Bid Date". Landlord shall receive sealed (but not in accordance with "public" works bid requirements) competitive bids for the Tenant lmprovements from Penntex, The Norwood Company and Shields Construction Company. In order for a contractor to be eligible to receive a bid request, such contractor must be "bondable". Landlord shall require each selected contractor to provide a completion bond, the cost of the bond shall be a cost of the work. Landlord shall not mark up or charge a supervisory fee for supervising the construction of the Tenant Improvements. Landlord shall select the general contractor to complete the Tenant lmprovements which need not be the contractor that submitted the lowest bid; provided, however, that the contract price of the selected contractor for the Tenant lmprovements Work shall not be more than the amount of the lowest bid submitted.  Landlord  may request any contractor that submitted a bid to revise its bid to conform to the bid package requirements.  Landlord will contract with the general contractor selected through the foregoing bidding process on or before the date which is thirty (30) days after the general contractor is selected.  Any such contract shall include, at a minimum, a one (1) year warranty as to workmanship and materials from the contractor.  Landlord shall obtain customary warranties from all manufacturers of any components used in the Basic Building or in the Tenant lmprovements. Landlord shall provide to Tenant a true and complete copy of the contract for the Tenant lmprovements, including the contract price, together with a statement that shall indicate the amount, if any, by which the total cost of the Tenant lmprovements work exceeds the Tenant lmprovements Allowance (the "Excess Costs").

(b)  Partial Taking. If there is a condemnation and this Lease has not been terminated pursuant to Section 13(a), (i) Landlord shall restore the Building, Common Areas and  the Premises to a condition and size as nearly comparable as reasonably possible to the condition and size thereof immediately prior to the date upon which the condemnor took possession and (ii) the obligations of Landlord and Tenant shall be unaffected by such condemnation except that there shall be an equitable abatement of the Minimum Annual Rent according to the rental value of the Premises before and after the date upon which the condemnor took possession and/or the date Landlord completes such restoration.

 

(c)  Award. In the event of a condemnation affecting Tenant, Tenant shall have the right to make a claim against the condemnor for moving expenses, loss of equipment, improvements and betterments and business dislocation damages to the extent that such claim does not reduce the sums otherwise payable by the condemnor to Landlord. Except as aforesaid and except as set forth in Section 13(d) below, Tenant hereby assigns all claims against the condemnor to Landlord.

 

(d)  Temporarv Taking. No temporary taking of the Premises shall terminate this Lease or give Tenant any right to any rental abatement. Such a temporary taking will be treated as ifTenant had sublet the Premises to the condemnor and had assigned the proceeds of the subletting to Landlord to be applied on account of Tenant's obligations hereunder. Any award for such a temporary taking during the Term shall be applied first, to Landlord's costs of collection and second, on account of sums owing by Tenant hereunder, and if such amounts applied on account  of sums owing by Tenant hereunder should exceed the entire amount owing by Tenant for the remainder of the Term, the excess will be paid to Tenant.

Within thirty (30) days after the Landlord places a mortgage upon the Property, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant an SNDA executed from each mortgagee of the Property in such form as is reasonably acceptable to each mortgagee and Tenant.

(iv) IfTenant becomes insolvent or bankrupt in any sense or makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors or offers a settlement to creditors, or if a petition in bankruptcy or for reorganization or for an arrangement with creditors under any federal or state law is filed by or against Tenant, or a bill in equity or other proceeding for the appointment of a receiver for any of Tenant's assets is commenced, or if any of the real or personal property of Tenant shall be levied upon: provided, however, that any proceeding brought by anyone other than Tenant under any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law shall not constitute a default until such proceeding has continued unstayed for more than sixty (60) consecutive days.

(b)  Remedies. Upon an event of default by Tenant, Landlord shall have the following rights:

(i) To charge a late payment fee equal to the greater of One Hundred Dollars ($100) or five percent (5%) of any amount owed to Landlord pursuant to this Lease which is not paid within five (5) days after the due date.

(ii) To enter and repossess the Premises by breaking open locked doors if necessary, and removing all persons and all or any property therefrom, by action at law or otherwise, without being liable for prosecution or damages therefor, and Landlord may, at Landlord's option, make reasonable alterations and repairs in order to relet the Premises and relet all or any parts) of the Premises for Tenant's account Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord on demand any deficiency that may arise by reason of such reletting. In the event of reletting without termination of this Lease, Landlord may at any time thereafter elect to terminate this Lease for such previous breach.

(iii) To terminate this Lease and the Term without any right on the part of Tenant to save the forfeiture by payment of any sum due or by other performance of any condition, term or covenant broken.

(c)  Grace Period. Notwithstanding anything herein stated, neither party will exercise any available right because of any default of the other, except those remedies contained in Section 23(b)(i), unless such party shall have first given ten (10) days written notice thereof to the defaulting party, and the defaulting party shall have failed to cure the default within such period; provided, however, that:

(i) No such notice shall be required in the case of emergency as set forth in Section 22 or in the event of any default enumerated in Sections 23(a)(iii).

(ii) Landlord shall not be required to give such ten (10) days notice more than two (2) times during any twelve (12) month period with respect to any monetary or other material default by Tenant.

(iii) If the default consists of something other than the failure to pay money which cannot reasonably be cured within ten (10) days, neither party will exercise any right if the defaulting party begins to cure the default within the ten (10) days and continues actively and diligently in good faith to completely cure said default; provided, however, that this provision shall not apply to or serve to extend the cure period for any default by Landlord for which a specific time period to cure has been provided in this Lease, or for which this Lease expressly provides that no cure period is available, such as, by way of example only, a Construction Breach (as hereinafter defined), or for which Tenant enjoys a termination right.

(iv) Tenant and Landlord each agree that any notice given by the other pursuant to this Section 23(c) which is served in compliance with Section 28 shall be adequate notice for the purpose of the other's exercise of any available remedies.

(d)  Non-Waiver, Non-Exclusive. No waiver by Landlord or Tenant of any breach by the other shall be a waiver of any subsequent breach, nor shall any forbearance by Landlord or Tenant to seek a remedy for any breach by the other be a waiver of any rights and remedies with respect to such or any subsequent breach. Efforts by Landlord to mitigate the damages caused by Tenant's default shall not constitute a waiver of Landlord's right to recover damages hereunder. No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to either party is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy provided herein or by law, but each shall be cumulative and in addition to every other right or remedy given herein or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity. No payment by Tenant or receipt or acceptance by Landlord of a lesser amount than the total amount due Landlord under this Lease shall be deemed to be other than on account nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or payment be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord's right to recover the balance of Rent due, or Landlord's right to pursue any other available remedy.

(e)  Costs and Attorneys' Fees. If either party commences an action against the other party arising out of or in connection with this Lease, the prevailing party shall be entitled to have and recover from the losing party reasonable attorneys' fees, costs of suit, investigation expenses and discovery costs, including costs of appeal.

The amounts payable by Landlord under the circumstances described in Section 24(b) and this Section 24(c) have been agreed upon by Landlord and Tenant as reasonable compensation and specific amounts given the difficulty in otherwise attempting to determine the harm Tenant will incur in the circumstances described, and it is acknowledged that such amounts are not punitive in nature.

In the event that Tenant elects a Tenant Cure, at Tenant's option Landlord shall assign to Tenant or otherwise entitle Tenant to the benefit of all Permits and Approvals, contracts, plans, drawings and other agreements relating to the construction of the Basic Building, Common Areas and the Tenant hnprovements, as the case may be, and Landlord shall promptly and in good faith take such other actions reasonably requested by Tenant to enable Tenant to undertake the Tenant Cure.  Tenant shall have the right to draw on the Letter of Credit (as defined below) in an amount equal to all of the actual costs and expenses, including without limitation all reasonable fees of Tenant's attorneys and other professionals, incurred in connection with the Tenant Cure, plus a management and overhead fee in an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of such costs ("Tenant Cure Costs").  If Tenant elects a Tenant Cure following a Construction Breach, Tenant shall not have the right to terminate this Lease as a result of such Construction Breach.  Tenant shall complete the Tenant Cure within ninety (90) days after the commencement of such cure; provided that Landlord fully complies with its obligations set forth in this Section and in this Lease.  During any Construction Breach, the Annual Minimum  Rent payable under this Lease shall abate with respect to any portion of the Premises that Tenant is unable to use.  Tenant's time period in which to complete the Tenant Cure shall be extended by such time as is necessary to cause Landlord's compliance.   In the event that Tenant elects a Tenant Cure following a Construction Breach Landlord shall not have any obligation to reimburse or pay for Tenant's Cure Costs in excess of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000).  On or before the Conversion Date, and as a condition precedent thereto for Tenant's benefit only, Landlord shall provide to Tenant an unconditional and irrevocable letter of credit, in the amount of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000), that (i) by its terms permits multiple draws; (ii) is issued by Bank of America, or such other commercial bank, located in the Philadelphia, PA metropolitan area that has a credit rating with respect to certificates of deposit, short term deposits or commercial paper of at least P-2 (or equivalent) by Moody's Investor Service, Inc., or at least A-2 (or equivalent) by Standard & Poor's Corporation; (iii) is made payable to, and expressly transferable and assignable (in connection with an assignment of this Lease) at no charge, to Tenant (including a successor to Tenant, which transfer/assignment shall be conditioned only upon the execution of a written document in connection therewith; provided, however, that in the event the issuing bank of the Letter of Credit charges a fee for a transfer and/or assignment, any and all such fees shall be payable by Landlord); (iv) payable at sight upon presentation of a simple sight draft at any Philadelphia, PA  metropolitan area branch office of the issuing bank of the Letter of Credit or by overnight mail, and includes the institution's applicable form of presentation statement; and (v) at least thirty (30) days prior to the then-current expiration date of such Letter of Credit,  renews (or automatically and unconditionally extends) from time to time through the date that is one year after the Target Commencement Date (the "Letter of Credit").  The Letter of Credit shall be held by Tenant.  The form of the required Letter of Credit shall be subject to Tenant's approval, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.  Landlord shall produce a form letter of credit approved by Tenant on or prior to September 14, 2012.  Once agreed to, the form ofletter of credit shall be attached hereto as Exhibit "I".  Landlord hereby agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such issuer to use such form; provided, however, that if such issuer refuses to use such form, Landlord shall be entitled to provide such letter of credit in the form required by such issuer subject to Tenant's approval thereof, which approval shall not be umeasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned.  In the event the issuer of the Letter of Credit is placed into receivership or conservatorship by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any successor or similar entity, then, effective as of the date such receivership or conservatorship occurs, Letter of Credit shall be deemed to not meet the requirements of this Section, and, within thirty (30) days thereof, Landlord shall replace such Letter of Credit with a new letter of credit satisfying the requirements of this Section (and Landlord's failure to do so shall, notwithstanding anything in the Lease to the contrary, constitute an event of default for which there shall be no notice or grace or cure periods being applicable thereto).  Landlord shall be responsible for the payment of any and all costs incurred with the review of any replacement Letter of Credit (including without limitation Tenant's reasonable attorneys' fees), which transfer or replacement is required pursuant to this Section.  Tenant shall surrender the Letter of Credit upon the earlier to occur of (i) the date that is ten (10) days after the Building, Common Areas and Tenant Improvements are Substantially Completed, without any Tenant Cure being undertaken by  Tenant; and (ii) within thirty (30) days after the completion by Tenant of the Tenant Cure and the full occupancy of the Property by Tenant.  Prior to exercising its right to a Tenant Cure, Tenant shall first provide to Lender notice of such Construction Breach and a thirty (30) day period in which to cure such Construction Breach or to provide to Tenant written assurances, reasonably acceptable to Tenant, that such mortgagee shall timely and fully cure such Construction Breach and complete the construction obligations of Landlord set forth in this Lease.  If such mortgagee elects to cure the Construction Breach, the costs and expenses incurred by such mortgagee or Landlord relating to such Construction Breach shall not be recaptured as rent under this Lease or affect the Tenant Improvements Allowance in any way.

The time period provided herein for any delay in performance by Landlord shall only include the actual period of delay caused by such circumstances beyond Landlord's reasonable control.

IfTenant terminates this Lease pursuant to this Section 24(g) or Section 24(d), the 1700 Pennbrook Lease and the 2100 Pennbrook Lease shall be reinstated as of the date of such termination, as if the Conversion had not occurred, notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided above in Section 2(h), and shall thereafter continue in full force and effect, modified, as to the rent payable thereunder only, as provided in Section 2(h); provided, further, that Tenant shall have the right at any time thereafter to terminate either the 1700 Pennbrook Lease, the 2100 Pennbrook Lease, or both, upon not less than six (6) months prior notice to Landlord.

 

(h) Credit. All amounts to which Tenant may become entitled to receive from Landlord on account of any breach by Landlord of its obligations hereunder may be offset, together with interest thereon at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum until full offset or payment of such amounts, against Tenant's obligations for rents and any other amounts payable by Tenant hereunder.

30.  Option to Renew.

 

(a) Renewal Right. Provided Tenant is not at the time of exercise in monetary default beyond any applicable notice and grace period, under the terms and conditions ofthis Lease, Tenant may extend the Term for two (2) additional period of five (5) years (each a "Renewal Period") by giving written notice to Landlord thereof at least ten (10) months prior to the then scheduled expiration date of the Term (each, a "Renewal Notice").  IfTenant has not provided a Renewal Notice to Landlord pursuant to the preceding sentence, then at least nine (9) months prior to the expiration of the initial Term or a Renewal Period, as applicable, Landlord shall provide written notice to Tenant notifying Tenant of Tenant's right to renew as provided in this Section 30 (a "Landlord Reminder").   IfTenant fails to provide a Renewal Notice within ten (10) days after Tenant receives the Landlord Reminder (the "Reminder Deadline"), then Tenant's right to renew hereunder shall automatically lapse and be of no further force or effect.  IfTenant does provide a Renewal Notice prior to the Reminder Deadline, then Tenant shall be deemed to have properly exercised its renewal option.  Each such notice shall specify whether Tenant will lease, at Tenant's sole option, either all or less than all of the space in the Building during such Renewal Period; provided, that Tenant must lease at least 95,920 rentable square feet; and further, provided, that ifTenant elects to lease less than all of the space in the Building for any Renewal Period, (i) Landlord and Tenant shall work together in good faith to agree upon the configuration of the space to be so leased by Tenant, taking into consideration leaseability and access to common facilities; (ii) Tenant's Proportionate Share shall be adjusted to reflect the portion of the Building's rentable square footage to be so leased by Tenant; (iii) exterior Building signage shall be allocated among all Building occupants based upon the relative sizes of their respective premises; and (iv) Tenant may not thereafter elect to lease any such space which was not leased during a subsequent Renewal Period, absent Landlord's written consent.  Any space in the Building which Tenant so elects not to lease must have access to means of ingress and egress (including elevator or lobby areas, as applicable, and fire stairs) and must be of a configuration which is readily leaseable by another tenant, as reasonably determined by Landlord and Tenant. Tenant shall be responsible for the costs of any renovations necessary to divide the Building and demise the Premises, which costs may be paid by Tenant utilizing the allowance amounts to be made available by Landlord hereunder.

(b) Terms.  The terms and conditions of the Lease, as amended hereby, during the Renewal Period shall be identical to those in effect during the initial Term hereunder, except that the Minimum Annual Rent shall be as provided below, the Guaranty shall no longer be in force or effect, and shall be null and void, neither the Tenant Improvement Allowance or the Space Plan Allowance shall be applicable, and, ifTenant is leasing less than 100% of the rentable square footage of the Building, Tenants' obligations for Annual Operating Expenses shall be pro-rated on a rentable square foot basis.

 

  

42

  

 

(c) Process. Within 30 days after Landlord's receipt of notice from Tenant that Tenant elects to renew the Term of this Lease, Landlord shall give written notice to Tenant setting forth the Minimum Annual Rent Landlord will charge for the Premises during the applicable Renewal Term which Base Rent shall be 95% of the Fair Market Rent (as hereinafter defined) for the Premises as reasonably determined by Landlord as of the date of receipt of Tenant's notice. Within 20 days after receipt of such notice from Landlord, Tenant shall give written notice to Landlord either (i) accepting Landlord's proposed Fair Market Rent, or (ii) rejecting Landlord's proposed Fair Market Rent. IfTenant rejects the Fair Market Rent, this Lease shall expire at the end of the then current Term; provided, however, that ifTenant wants to renew the Term but disputes Landlord's determination of the Fair Market Rent, Tenant within such 20-dayperiod  shall give notice to Landlord of its election to renew the Term and of Tenant's determination of 95% of the Fair Market Rent, whereupon the parties shall have 15 days to agree upon the amount that is 95% of Fair Market Rent for the applicable Renewal Term (the "Negotiation Period"). If the parties do not agree upon the Fair Market Rent for the applicable Renewal Term within the Negotiation Period, the dispute shall be settled by the appraisal method provided below. In any case permitted hereunder where Tenant desires that the Fair Market Rent be determined by appraisal, Tenant shall so notify Landlord and within 15 days following such notice Landlord and Tenant shall each designate an independent certified appraiser, who shall be a member of MAI, to act on such party's respective behalf and shall jointly select a third independent certified appraiser, who shall be a member of MAI, to act as arbiter. IfLandlord and Tenant are unable to agree upon an arbiter within such 15-day period, the two designated appraisers shall agree upon an arbiter within 10 days following the date the last one of the two was appointed. Each party shall be responsible for the cost of its designated appraiser and the parties shall share equally in the cost of any such independent arbiter. Within 30 days of their appointment, each designated appraiser shall establish a Fair Market Rent and within 15 days thereafter, the arbiter shall select one of the two determinations and an amount equal to 95% of the determination so selected shall be the Minimum Annual Rent.  Such decision shall be binding on the parties. The Term "Fair Market Rent" shall mean the base rent per rentable square foot that a willing, comparable, non-equity, non-renewal, non-expansion new tenant would pay and a willing landlord would accept at arm's length, giving appropriate consideration to annual rental rates per rentable square foot, the type of escalation clauses (including, but without limitation, operating expense, real estate taxes, CPI), free rent during the period of construction or any other period during the lease term, brokerage commissions, length of lease term, size and location of premises being leased,  building standard work letter and/or tenant improvement allowances, if any, and other generally applicable terms and conditions of tenancy for a multi-tenant office building in the Upper Gwynedd, Montgomery County, PA market.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Minimum Annual Rent during either Renewal Period be less than those amounts per rentable square foot as follows:

Notice of any action by Landlord referred to in this paragraph 17, given to Tenant, shall have the same force and effect as if originally made a part of the Lease. New rules or regulations will not, however, be unreasonably inconsistent with the proper and rightful enjoyment of the Premises by Tenant under the Lease.

18. These Building Rules are not intended to give Tenant any rights or claims in the event that Landlord does not enforce any of them against any other tenants or if Landlord does not have the right to enforce them against any other tenants; provided, that such nonenforcement will constitute a waiver as to Tenant.

 

19. Tenant shall be deemed to have read these Building Rules and to have agreed to abide by them as a condition to Tenant's occupancy of the Premises.

FORM OF 

LEASE GUARANTY

LEASE AGREEMENT BY AND BETWEEN ICON CLINICAL RESEARCH, INC. AND PENNBROOKDEVELOPMENT PARTNERS 2100, L.P., 

DATED AUGUST_, 2012 (THE "LEASE")

ICON, pie,  a Dublin, Ireland corporation with an address in the United States at 2100 Pennbrook Parkway, Upper Gwynedd, Pennsylvania 19454, is the parent corporation of the Tenant, ICON Clinical Research, Inc., and shall benefit from the execution and fulfillment of the within Agreement of Lease. As an inducement to Landlord to enter into this Lease with Tenant, ICON, pie (hereinafter "Guarantor") guarantees all of Tenant's obligations pursuant to this Lease as hereinafter set forth. Guarantor acknowledges that Landlord is unwilling to enter into and deliver the Lease to Tenant unless Guarantor guarantees the full and timely performance and observance of all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease to be performed by Tenant and its permitted successors and assigns.

 

Now, therefore, in consideration of, and as an inducement for, the execution and delivery of the Lease by Landlord to Tenant, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged, Guarantor hereby agrees as follows:

 

1.     Guarantor hereby guarantees to Landlord, and Landlord's heirs, executors, administrators and assigns, the full and prompt payment of all rents, additional rent, and any and all other sums and charges payable by Tenant, its successors and assigns, during the initial term under the Lease, and Guarantor hereby further guarantees the full and timely performance and observance of all the terms, covenants and conditions therein provided to be performed and observed by Tenant, its successors and assigns during the initial term under the Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Guarantor's total obligation or liability under this Guaranty be more than Fourteen Million Sixty-One Thousand Three Hundred Ninety Dollars (U.S.) ($14,061,390.00)  (the "Liability Limit").   The Liability Limit shall be reduced  as follows: (a) on the seventh anniversary of the Commencement Date (as defined in the Lease) to Ten Million Seven Hundred Thirty Thousand and One Hundred Ninety-Two Dollars (U.S.) ($10,730,192.00); (b) on the eighth anniversary of the Commencement Date to Seven Million One Hundred Eighty-Five Thousand Seven Hundred One Dollars (U.S.) ($7,185,701.00); and (c) on the ninth anniversary of the Commencement Date to Three Million Six Hundred Nine Thousand Eighty-Five Dollars (U.S.) ($3,609,085.00).

 

2.     If default shall at any time be made by Tenant, its successors or assigns, in the payment of any such rents, or if Tenant should default in the performance and observance of any of the tenns, covenants and conditions contained in  the Lease, Guarantor shall and will immediately pay  such rents  to  Landlord,  its  successors  and  assigns,  and  any arrears  thereof, subject, however, to any applicable grace periods provided to Tenant in the Lease; and shall and will immediately and faithfully perform and fulfill all such terms, covenants and conditions, subject, however, to any applicable grace periods provided to Tenant in the Lease, and shall pay to Landlord all damages that may arise in consequence of any default of Tenant, its successor or assigns, under the Lease, including, without limitation, reasonable attorney's fees and costs incurred by Landlord or caused by any such default and/or by the enforcement of this Guaranty. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall not be entitled to seek damages from Guarantor resulting from an issue for which a court of competent jurisdiction has found Tenant not to be liable to Landlord; unless such finding is due to Tenant's insolvency or inability to pay.

 

 

EXHIBIT H-1

 

  

  

  

 

3.     This Guaranty is an absolute and unconditional Guaranty of payment and of performance. It shall be enforceable against the Guarantor, its successors and assigns, without the necessity for any suit or proceedings on Landlord's part of any kind or nature whatsoever against Tenant, its successors and assigns, and, except as herein or in the Lease otherwise specifically provided, without the necessity of any notice of non-payment, non-performance or non-observance or any notice of acceptance of this Guaranty or of any other notice or demand to which Guarantor might otherwise be entitled, all of which the Guarantor  hereby  expressly waives; and the Guarantor hereby expressly agrees that the validity of this Guaranty and the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall in no wise be terminated, affected, diminished or impaired by reason of the assertion or failure to assert by Landlord against Tenant, or against Tenant's successors or assigns, of any of the rights or remedies reserved to Landlord pursuant to the provisions of the Lease.

 

4.     This Guaranty shall be a continuing Guaranty, and the liability of the Guarantor hereunder shall in no way be affected, modified or diminished by reason of any assignment, renewal, modification or extension of the Lease or by reason of any modification or waiver of or change in any of the terms, covenants or conditions of the Lease by Landlord and Tenant, or by reason  of any extension of time that may be granted by Landlord to Tenant, its successors or assigns, or by reason of any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, assignment for the benefit of creditors, receivership or trusteeship affecting Tenant.

 

5.     All of the Landlord's rights and remedies under the Lease or under this Guaranty are intended to be distinct, separate and cumulative and no such right or remedy therein or herein mentioned is intended to be in exclusion of or a waiver of any of the others.

 

6.     Upon any event of default under the Lease, Landlord shall simultaneously send a copy of any such notice of default which it sends to Tenant under the Lease to the Guarantor, and Landlord shall permit the Guarantor to cure such default within the time period granted to Tenant under the Lease to cure the same, if any.

CHANGE IN CONTROL SEVERANCE AGREEMENT

THE SIMSBURY BANK & TRUST COMPANY, INC.

This Agreement is made and entered into, effective as of the 11th day of March, 2014, by and between The Simsbury Bank & Trust Company, Inc., a state bank and trust company with its principal office and place of business at 86 Hopmeadow Street, Simsbury, Connecticut 06070 (“Bank”) and Richard J. Sudol, a resident o[intentionally omitted] (“Executive”).

 

W I T N E S S E T H:

 

WHEREAS, Executive is employed by Bank as Chief Financial Officer and Senior Vice President;

 

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of Bank considers it to be in the best interests of Bank and the stockholders of Bank to foster the continued employment of Executive in the event of a Potential Change-in-Control (as hereinafter defined), although no specific such event is now contemplated or foreseen;

 

WHEREAS, Bank desires to assure Executive of what it considers to be fair and reasonable terms in the event of a Change-in-Control (as hereinafter defined), and Executive so agrees;

 

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

 

1.            Term of Agreement.

 

(a)           Generally.  Except as provided in Section 1(b) hereof, (i) this Agreement shall be effective as of the date and year first above written, and shall continue in effect through December 31, 2014, and (ii) commencing on January 1, 2015, and each January 1 thereafter, this Agreement shall be automatically extended for one additional year unless, not later than September 30th of the preceding year, either party to this Agreement gives written notice to the other that the Agreement shall not be extended under this Section 1(a); provided, however, that no such notice by Bank shall be effective if prior to the date of such notice (i) a “Potential Change in Control” shall have occurred and the event giving rise thereto has not been terminated, abandoned or rescinded, or (ii) a “Change in Control” shall have occurred.

 

(b)           Upon a Change in Control.  If a Change in Control shall have occurred at any time during the period in which this Agreement is effective, this Agreement shall continue in effect for (i) the remainder of the month in which the Change in Control occurred and (ii) a term of 12 months beyond the month in which such Change in Control occurred (such entire period hereinafter referred to as the "Protected Period").  Note that in certain circumstances defined and set forth below, provisions of this Agreement shall survive for longer than the period described above.

 

  

  

  

 

2.            Definitions.

 

For purposes of this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

 

(a)           A "Change in Control" shall be deemed to have occurred if, during the term of this Agreement:

 

(i)           any Person directly or indirectly or acting through one or more other Persons first acquires ownership, control, or power to vote 25% or more of the voting common stock of Bank or a Controlling Person; or

 

(ii)          any Person acquires or agrees to acquire all or substantially all of the assets and business of Bank or a Controlling Person; or

 

(iii)         any Person (A) is a party to a merger, consolidation, or any other form of reorganization having substantially the same effect as a merger or consolidation, with Bank or a Controlling Person and (B) immediately prior to such transaction the Person had total assets as of the end of its most recent fiscal year equal to or greater than 100% of the total assets of Bank or the Controlling Person, as applicable, as of the end of its most recent fiscal year; or

 

(iv)         during any period of twenty-four (24) consecutive months, individuals who at the beginning of such period constitute the Board of Directors of Bank cease for any reason to constitute a majority of such Board, unless the election, or the nomination for election, of each new Director was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the Directors then still in office who were Directors at the beginning of such period; or

 

(v)          the Board of Directors of Bank, by vote of a majority of all the Directors (excluding Executive if Executive is a Director), adopts a resolution to the effect that a “Change in Control” has occurred for purposes of this Agreement.

 

(b)           A "Potential Change in Control" shall be deemed to have occurred if:

 

(i)           Bank or any Controlling Person enters into a letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, or definitive agreement providing for, or publicly announces that it is considering, one or more transactions, the consummation of which would result in the occurrence of a Change in Control;

 

(ii)          any Person (including Bank) publicly announces an intention to take or to consider taking actions which if consummated would constitute a Change in Control; or

 

  

2

  

 

(iii)         the Board adopts a resolution to the effect that, for purposes of this Agreement, a Potential Change in Control has occurred.

 

(c)           A “Person” shall include a natural person, corporation, or other entity.  When two or more persons act as a partnership, limited partnership, syndicate, or other group for the purpose of acquiring, holding, or disposing of Bank common stock, such partnership, syndicate, or group shall be considered a Person.  Beneficial ownership shall be determined under the then current provisions of Securities Exchange Act Rule 13d-3; 17 C.F.R. § 240.13d-3.

 

(d)           A “Controlling Person” shall mean a Person who directly or indirectly or acting through one or more other Persons owns, controls or has power to vote 50% or more of the voting common stock of Bank.

 

(e)           Notwithstanding the definitions contained in Section 2 hereof, the formation by Bank of a bank holding company that is approved by the Board and the shareholders of Bank shall not in and of itself constitute either a Change in Control or a Potential Change in Control.

 

3.            Duties Upon Potential Change-in-Control.

 

In the event that a Potential Change-in-Control shall occur while Executive is employed by Bank, Executive agrees to remain in the employ of Bank, and in such event Bank agrees to continue to employ Executive in the offices then held by Executive with Bank and on the terms of employment then in effect until the earlier to occur of the following:  (i) the event giving rise to the Potential Change-in-Control shall have been abandoned or terminated; (ii) a Change-in-Control occurs; or (iii) the Board of Directors of Bank shall determine by vote of at least two-thirds (2/3) of all the Directors (excluding Executive if Executive is a Director) that Executive’s obligations under this Section 3 shall cease.  During the period covered by the preceding sentence, Executive shall render, to the best of Executive’s ability, such services as shall be required of Executive in order to explore and pursue fully the Potential Change-in-Control in accordance with directions, policies and determinations from time to time made by the Board of Directors of Bank and communicated to Executive.  During said period, Executive shall use reasonable best efforts to fulfill Executive’s responsibilities to Bank in the interests of Bank and the shareholders of Bank and as reasonably requested of Executive for such purposes.  The employment of Executive pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 3 may be terminated, without breach of this Agreement, either by Bank for Cause, Disability or Material Breach, or by Executive for Good Reason (as such terms are defined in Section 4(f) below).

 

4.            Termination.

 

(a)           Termination by Bank for Cause, by Executive Without Good Reason, or by Reason of Death, Disability or Retirement.  If during the Protected Period Executive’s employment by Bank is terminated by Bank for Cause, by Executive without Good Reason, or because of Executive’s death, Disability or voluntary Retirement, Bank shall not be obligated to make any payments to Executive by reason of this Agreement other than (i) payment of amounts otherwise accrued and owing but not yet paid and (ii) any amounts payable under then-existing employee benefit programs at the time such amounts are due.

 

  

3

  

 

(b)           Termination by Bank Without Cause or by Executive for Good Reason.  If during the Protected Period Executive’s employment by Bank is terminated by Bank without Cause or by Executive for Good Reason, subject to the provisions of Section 6 hereof, Executive shall be entitled to the compensation and benefits described in this Section 4(b).  If Executive’s employment by Bank is terminated prior to a Change in Control at the request of a Person engaging in a transaction or series of transactions that would result in a Change in Control, the Protected Period shall commence upon the subsequent occurrence of a Change in Control, Executive’s actual termination shall be deemed a termination occurring during the Protected Period and covered by this Section 4(b), Executive’s Date of Termination shall be deemed to have occurred immediately following the Change in Control, and Notice of Termination shall be deemed to have been given by Bank immediately prior to Executive’s actual termination.  Executive’s continued employment shall not constitute consent to, or a waiver of rights with respect to, any circumstances constituting Good Reason hereunder.

 

The compensation and benefits provided under this Section 4(b) are as follows:

 

(i)           Bank shall pay Executive’s full base salary through the Date of Termination at the rate in effect at the time Notice of Termination is given, no later than the fifth day following the Date of Termination, and Executive shall receive all other vested amounts to which Executive is entitled under any benefit plan of Bank, at the time such payments are due under the terms of such benefit plan of Bank.

 

(ii)          At the time specified in Section 4(d) hereof, Bank shall pay to Executive, in lieu of amounts which may otherwise be payable to Executive under any bonus plan for the year in which the Date of Termination occurs, an amount in cash equal to Executive’s annual target bonus that would be payable in cash for such year, multiplied by a fraction, (A) the numerator of which equals the number of days in such annual performance period during which Executive was employed by Bank and (B) the denominator of which is 365.

 

(iii)         At the time specified in Section 4(d) hereof, Bank shall pay Executive, in lieu of any further salary, bonus or severance payments under the Bank’s Severance Plan or otherwise for periods subsequent to the Date of Termination, a lump sum amount in cash equal to two times the sum of:

 

(A)           the greater of (I) Executive’s annual base salary in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control of Bank or (II) Executive’s annual base salary in effect at the time Notice of Termination is given; and

 

(B)           the greater of (I) Executive’s annual target bonus for the year in which the Change in Control occurs or, (II) if no such target bonus has yet been determined for such year, Executive’s annual target bonus actually earned by Executive in the year immediately preceding the year in which the Change in Control occurs.

 

  

4

  

 

(iv)         Stock options or restricted stock held by Executive at the time of Executive’s termination, the vesting of which is service based, if not then vested and exercisable, will become fully vested and exercisable at the date of such termination notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in the plans and programs and the agreements and other documents pursuant to which such options or restricted stock were granted, and, in all other respects (including the period following termination during which such options may be exercised), such options or restricted stock shall be governed by the plans and programs and the agreements and other documents pursuant to which such options or restricted stock were granted.

 

(v)          Any performance objectives upon which the earning of performance-based restricted stock or deferred stock awards, including outstanding stock plan awards, and other long-term incentive awards are conditioned shall be deemed to have been met at target level at the date of termination, and restricted stock and deferred stock awards, including outstanding stock plan awards, and other long-term incentive awards (to the extent then or previously earned, in the case of performance-based awards) shall become fully vested and non-forfeitable at the date of such termination notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in the plans and programs and the agreements and other documents pursuant to which such awards were granted, and, in all other respects, such awards shall be governed by the plans and programs and the agreements and other documents pursuant to which such awards were granted.

 

(vi)         For the 24 consecutive month period immediately following Executive’s termination of employment, Bank shall arrange to provide Executive with health insurance benefits no less favorable than those which Executive was receiving immediately prior to the Notice of Termination.  If Executive elects after termination of employment continued coverage under Bank’s health plan in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (“COBRA”), then Executive shall continue to receive such individual and/or family health benefits coverage as Executive was receiving at the time of termination of employment with Bank with Executive paying the same portion of the cost of such coverage as existed at the time of Executive’s termination of employment, for so long during the continuation period as Executive elects to continue coverage and pays Executive’s portion of the costs of coverage.

 

(vii)        At the time specified in Section 4(d) hereof, an amount equal to the aggregate amounts that Bank would have contributed on behalf of Executive under Bank’s 401(k) Plan, or similar qualified plan if any such plan shall be in effect, for a 24-month period following Executive’s termination of employment (plus a fixed earnings rate of 7% thereon) had Executive continued in the employ of Bank until the end of said period and made contributions under said plan at a rate, as a percentage of salary, equal to the rate at which Executive had made contributions to said plan in the plan year immediately preceding Executive’s termination.

 

  

5

  

 

(viii)       At the time specified in Section 4(d) hereof, access to outplacement and job search services (including, but not limited to, office and secretarial expenses), with a value not to exceed $10,000, provided that such access shall apply only during the 24-month period following Executive’s termination of employment.

 

(ix)          Bank shall not be obligated to continue any disability or disability income insurance or life insurance on behalf of Executive following the date of Executive’s termination of employment.  To the extent permitted under any contracts, programs or policies of such nature in effect at the time of such termination, Executive may continue at Executive’s sole cost and expense coverage thereunder for a period of up to 24 months.

 

(x)           For a 24-month period following Executive’s termination of employment, to the extent permissible under the governing arrangement, Executive shall continue to receive such perquisites, other than those specified in the preceding subparagraphs above, as Executive was receiving at the time of termination of employment with, to the extent applicable, the same cost sharing with Bank as was in effect immediately prior to Executive’s termination of employment.

 

(xi)          Bank shall reimburse Executive for the amount of any reasonable legal fees and expenses incurred by Executive in any successful action (whether or not arbitration or litigation shall be involved) to obtain or enforce any right or benefit provided to Executive by Bank hereunder or as confirmed or acknowledged hereunder.

 

(c)           Section 280G Limit.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event that any payment or benefit received or to be received by Executive, whether payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other plan, arrangement or agreement with Bank, its successors, or any person affiliated with Bank (“Affiliate”) within the meaning of Section 1504 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) (collectively “Total Payments”) would, in the determination of the independent certified public accounting firm then retained by Bank (the “Tax Advisor”), not be deductible (in whole or in part) by Bank, an affiliate of Bank or other person making such payment or providing such benefit as a result of Section 280G of the Code, or any successor to such Section, payments and benefits pursuant to this Agreement shall be reduced until no portion of the Total Payments is not deductible as a result of Section 280G of the Code, or payments and benefits pursuant to this Agreement are reduced to zero.  At the time of Executive’s termination, Bank shall obtain an appraisal of the then current present value of the covenants by Executive set forth in Sections 7 and 8 of this Agreement, an amount of the total payments to be made to Executive under clause (ii) of Section 4(b) equal to said amount shall be for all purposes treated as a payment to Executive in consideration of such covenants and the remainder, if any, shall be treated as supplemental wage payments to Executive.  For purposes of the limitation contained in this Section 4(c), (i) no portion of the Total Payments the receipt of which Executive, in the determination of the Tax Advisor, shall have effectively waived prior to the date which is fifteen (15) days following termination of employment and prior to the earlier of the date of constructive receipt and the date of payment thereof shall be taken into account; and (ii) any reduction in the payments and benefits pursuant to Section 4(b) above shall be made from the payments and benefits to be made pursuant to clauses (i) through (xi) of Section 4(b) hereof, in such order as may be determined by Executive, except to the extent that such payments and benefits, in the determination of the Tax Advisor, are reasonable compensation within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code.  The determination of the Tax Advisor as to the deductibility of the Total Payments shall be completed not later than forty-five (45) days following Executive’s termination of employment, and such determination shall be communicated in writing to Bank, with a copy to Executive, within said forty-five (45) day period.  The determination of the Tax Advisor as to the deductibility of the Total Payments shall be deemed conclusive and binding on Bank and Executive and shall not be subject to the arbitration provisions of this Agreement. Bank shall pay the fees and other costs of the Tax Advisor hereunder.  In the event that the independent certified public accounting firm then retained by Bank is unable or declines to serve as Tax Advisor for purposes of making the foregoing determinations, Bank shall appoint another accounting firm of national reputation to serve as Tax Advisor.

 

  

6

  

 

(d)           Time of Payment.  The payments provided for in clauses (ii), (iii), (vii) and (viii) of Section 4(b) hereof shall be made not later than the fifteenth day following the Date of Termination; provided, however, that if the amount of such payments cannot be finally determined on or before such day, Bank shall pay to Executive on such day an estimate, as determined in good faith by Bank, of the minimum amount of such payments and shall pay the remainder of such payments (together with interest at the rate provided in Section 1274(b)(2)(B) of the Code) as soon as the amount thereof can be determined but in no event later than the thirtieth day after the Date of Termination.  Notwithstanding the above, the Bank may delay any payment provided for herein until a date no later than the date that is six months following the Executive’s termination of employment, if, in the opinion of the Bank’s certified public accountants, such delay is necessary in order to avoid the imposition of an excise tax upon the Executive under Section 409A of the Code.  In all events, the Bank and the Executive intend that this Agreement shall be complaint with, and payments shall be made in accordance with, Section 409A of the Code, and this Agreement is to be interpreted accordingly.  Reimbursement amounts will be paid within the time frame set forth in Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-3(i)(1)(iv)(A).

 

(e)           Notice.  During the Protected Period, any purported termination of Executive’s employment by Bank or by Executive shall be communicated by written Notice of Termination to the other party hereto.

 

(f)           Certain Definitions.  Except as otherwise indicated in this Agreement, all definitions in this Section 4(f) shall be applicable during the Protected Period.

 

(i)           Disability.  "Disability" shall mean Executive’s absence from the full-time performance of Executive’s duties with Bank for six consecutive months as a result of Executive’s incapacity due to physical or mental illness or disability, and within 30 days after written Notice of Termination is thereafter given Executive shall not have returned to the full-time performance of Executive’s duties.

 

  

7

  

 

(ii)          Cause.  "Cause" shall mean termination on account of (A) the willful and continued failure by Executive to substantially perform Executive's duties with Bank (other than any such failure resulting from Executive's incapacity due to physical or mental illness or Disability or any failure after the issuance of a Notice of Termination by Executive for Good Reason) which failure is demonstrably and materially damaging to the financial condition or reputation of Bank and/or its affiliates, and which failure continues more than 48 hours after a written demand for substantial performance is delivered to Executive by the Board, which demand specifically identifies the manner in which the Board believes that Executive has not substantially performed Executive’s duties or (B) the willful engaging by Executive in conduct which is demonstrably and materially injurious to Bank or its affiliates, monetarily or otherwise.  No act, or failure to act, on Executive’s part shall be deemed "willful" unless done, or omitted to be done, by Executive not in good faith and without reasonable belief that Executive’s action or omission was in the best interest of Bank.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive shall not be deemed to have been terminated for Cause unless and until there shall have been delivered to Executive a copy of the resolution duly adopted by the affirmative vote of not less than three-quarters (3/4) of the entire membership of the Board at a meeting of the Board (after reasonable notice to Executive and an opportunity for Executive, together with Executive’s counsel, to be heard before the Board) finding that, in the good faith opinion of the Board, Executive was guilty of conduct set forth above in this Section 4(f)(ii) and specifying the particulars thereof in detail.

 

(iii)         Good Reason.  "Good Reason" shall mean, without Executive's express written consent, the occurrence upon or within two years after a Change in Control of any of the following circumstances.  The Executive must give written notice to the Company of the Good Reason condition within 90 days of the initial existence of such condition, and the Company will be afforded the right to fully cure the condition within 30 days following receipt of such notice:

 

(A)           the assignment to Executive of any material duties inconsistent with the position in Bank that Executive held immediately prior to the Change in Control, or a material adverse alteration in the nature or status of Executive's responsibilities or the conditions of Executive's employment from those in effect immediately prior to such Change in Control (excluding inadvertent actions that are promptly remedied);

 

(B)           a material reduction in Executive’s annual base salary as in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control;

 

(C)           a material reduction in Executive’s perquisites as in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control as the same may be increased from time to time except for across-the-board perquisite reductions similarly affecting all senior executives of Bank and all senior executives of any Person in control of Bank;

 

  

8

  

 

(D)          the relocation of the principal place of Executive’s employment to a location more than 50 miles from Executive’s principal place of employment immediately prior to the Change in Control;

 

(E)           the failure by Bank to pay to Executive any portion of Executive’s compensation or to pay to Executive any portion of an installment of deferred compensation under any deferred compensation program of Bank within seven days of the date such compensation is due;

 

(F)           the failure by Bank to continue in effect any material compensation or benefit plan in which Executive participated immediately prior to the Change in Control, unless an equitable arrangement (embodied in an ongoing substitute or alternative plan) has been made with respect to such plan, or the failure by Bank to continue Executive’s participation therein (or in such substitute or alternative plan) on a basis not materially less favorable, both in terms of the amounts of benefits provided and the level of Executive’s participation relative to other participants, as existed at the time of the Change in Control;

 

(G)           the failure of Bank to obtain a satisfactory agreement from any successor to assume and agree to perform this Agreement, as contemplated in Section 11 hereof; or

 

(H)           any purported termination of Executive's employment that is not effected pursuant to a Notice of Termination satisfying the requirements of Section 4(f)(v) hereof, which purported termination shall not be effective for purposes of this Agreement.

 

(iv)          Retirement. “Retirement” shall mean Executive’s voluntary retirement from Bank in accordance with the retirement policy of Bank, including early retirement, generally applicable to its executives or in accordance with any retirement arrangement with respect to Executive established by the Board with the consent of Executive.

 

(v)           Notice of Termination.  "Notice of Termination" shall mean notice indicating the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon and setting forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of Executive’s employment under the provision so indicated.

 

(vi)          Date of Termination.  "Date of Termination" shall mean (A) if Executive’s employment is terminated for Disability, 30 days after Notice of Termination is given (provided that Executive shall not have returned to the full-time performance of Executive’s duties during such 30-day period) or (B) if Executive’s employment is terminated for any other reason, the date specified in the Notice of Termination (which, in the case of a termination for Cause, shall not be less than 30 days from the date such Notice of Termination is given and, in the case of a termination for Good Reason, shall not be less than 30 nor more than 60 days from the date such Notice of Termination is given).  In all cases, however, the Date of Termination shall be determined in a manner consistent with the “separation from service” rules in effect under Section 409A of the Code.

5.             Mitigation.

 

So long as Executive shall not be in breach of any provisions of Sections 7 or 8, Executive shall not be required to mitigate the amount of payment provided for under this Agreement by seeking other employment or otherwise, nor shall the amount of payment or benefit provided for under this Agreement be reduced by any compensation earned by Executive as the result of employment by another employer, by retirement benefits, by offset against any amount claimed to be owed by Executive to Bank, or otherwise.

 

6.             Release.

 

As a condition of receiving payments or benefits provided for in this Agreement, at the request of Bank, or its successor, Executive shall execute and deliver for the benefit of Bank and any Controlling Person, a general release in substantially the form set forth in Attachment A hereto, and such release shall become effective in accordance with its terms. The failure or refusal of Executive to sign such a release or the revocation of such a release shall cause the termination of any and all obligations of Bank to make payments or provide benefits hereunder, and the forfeiture of Executive's right to receive any such payments and benefits, and will not absolve the Executive from his or her obligations hereunder.  Executive acknowledges that Bank has advised Executive to consult with an attorney prior to signing this Agreement and that Executive has had an opportunity to do so.  If any payments hereunder are conditioned upon the Executive’s execution of a general release, and if the period for consideration and revocation of the general release spans two of the Executive’s tax years, then the payment or payments at issue will be paid upon the later of (i) the end of the revocation period (assuming no revocation is made), or (ii) the first pay period occurring in the second tax year.

 

7.             Confidential Information. 

 

Executive understand that in the course of Executive's employment by Bank, Executive will receive or have access to confidential information concerning the business or purposes of Bank which Bank desires to protect.  Such confidential information shall be deemed to include, but not be limited to, Bank’s customer lists and information, and employee lists, including, if known, personnel information and data.  Executive agrees that Executive will not, at any time during the period ending two years after the Date of Termination, reveal to anyone outside Bank or use for Executive's own benefit any such information without specific written authorization by Bank.  Executive further agrees not to use any such confidential information or trade secrets in competing with Bank at any time.

8.             Non-Competition and Non-Disclosure; Non-Disparagement; Certain Forfeitures.

 

(a)           Non-Competition.  In consideration for the compensation and benefits provided under this Agreement, without the consent in writing of the Board of Bank, Executive will not, at any time during the term of this Agreement and for a period of two years following Executive’s termination of employment during the Protected Period, acting alone or in conjunction with others, directly or indirectly (i) engage (either as owner, investor, partner, stockholder, employer, employee, consultant, advisor, or director) in any business of any bank, bank holding company, savings bank, savings and loan association, savings and loan holding company, or other institution engaged in the business of accepting deposits or making loans, or any direct or indirect subsidiary or affiliate of any such entity, that maintains an office in any town in which Bank maintains an office as of Executive’s date of termination or in any town in which Bank had plans to open an office within six months after Executive’s date of termination; (ii) induce any customers of Bank or any of its affiliates with whom Executive had contacts or relationships, directly or indirectly, during and within the scope of Executive’s employment with Bank, to curtail or cancel their business with Bank or any such affiliate; (iii) induce or attempt to influence any employee of Bank or any affiliate to terminate employment; or (iv) solicit, hire or retain as an employee or independent contractor, or assist any third party in the solicitation, hire, or retention as an employee or independent contractor, any person who during the previous twelve months was an employee of Bank or any such affiliate; provided, however, that activities engaged in by or on behalf of Bank are not restricted by this covenant. The provisions of clauses (i), (ii), (iii), and (iv) above are separate and distinct commitments, each independent of the other subparagraphs.  It is agreed that the ownership of not more than one percent (1%) of the equity securities of any company having securities listed on an exchange or regularly traded in the over-the-counter market shall not, of itself, be deemed inconsistent with clause (i) of this Section 8(a).

 

(b)           Non-Disparagement.  Executive shall not, at any time during the term of this Agreement or thereafter, make statements or representations, or otherwise communicate, directly or indirectly, in writing, orally, or otherwise, or take any action which may, directly or indirectly, disparage Bank or any of its affiliates or their respective officers, directors, employees, advisors, businesses or reputations.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall preclude Executive from making truthful statements that are required by applicable law, regulation or legal process.

 

(c)           Injunction.  Executive hereby acknowledges that Executive’s services are unique and extraordinary, and are not readily replaceable, and hereby expressly agrees that Bank, in enforcing the covenants contained in Sections 7 and 8 herein, in addition to any other remedies provided for herein or otherwise available at law, shall be entitled in any court of equity having jurisdiction to an injunction restraining him in the event of a breach, actual or threatened, of the agreements and covenants contained in such Sections.

 

(d)           Scope.  The parties hereto believe that the restrictive covenants contained in Sections 7 and 8 hereof are reasonable.  However, if at any time it shall be determined by any court of competent jurisdiction that these Sections or any portion of them as written, are unenforceable because the restrictions are unreasonable, the parties hereto agree that such portions as shall have been determined to be unreasonably restrictive shall thereupon be deemed so amended as to make such restrictions reasonable in the determination of such court, and the said covenants, as so modified, shall be enforceable between the parties to the same extent as if such amendments had been made prior to the date of any alleged breach of said covenants.

 

  

11

  

 

(e)           Provision Not Applicable.  The provisions of this Section 8 shall not apply if Bank shall be prohibited under Section 14 below from making any payments to Executive pursuant to Section 4(b) above.

 

9.             Right of Discharge.

 

Subject to the obligations to make the payments specified in Section 4(b), and subject to the obligations of Bank under any employment agreement that may exist between Bank and Executive, it is expressly agreed that, except as set forth in Section 3 above, Bank shall have the right to discharge or terminate Executive at any time and for any reason, or no reason.

 

10.           Exclusivity.

 

It is understood and agreed that if any payments are due and made to Executive under this Agreement then no payments will be due or required, and Bank shall not in any respect be obligated to Executive, under any severance pay plan, agreement, or arrangement that might otherwise be applicable to Executive, or under or by reason of any employment severance pay or similar agreement between Bank and Executive, including without limitation the Executive Severance Pay Agreement executed on the same date as this Agreement.

 

11.           Successors; Binding Agreement.

 

(a)           Bank shall require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of Bank, and in the case of an acquisition of Bank in which the corporate existence of Bank continues, the ultimate parent company following such acquisition, to expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that Bank would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place.  As used in this Agreement, "Bank" shall mean Bank as hereinbefore defined and any successor to its business and/or assets as aforesaid which assumes and agrees to perform this Agreement by operation of law, or otherwise.

 

(b)           This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Executive and Executive's personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees.  In the event of Executive's death following becoming entitled to payments hereunder but prior to completion of such payments, all amounts otherwise payable to Executive hereunder shall, unless otherwise provided herein, be paid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to Executive's devisee, legatee or other designee or, if there is no such designee, to Executive's estate.

 

  

12

  

 

12.           Notice.

 

Notices and all other communications provided for in this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when (a) personally delivered, (b) sent by Federal Express or other similar overnight service or (c) mailed by United States certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed to the respective addresses set forth below, or to such other address as either party may have furnished to the other in writing in accordance herewith, except that notice of change of address shall be effective only upon receipt.

Unless otherwise agreed, the parties will select a mediator from the CPR Panels of Distinguished Neutrals.

 

(c)           Arbitration.  Any dispute arising under or in connection with this Agreement which has not been resolved by mediation as provided herein within 45 days after initiation of the mediation procedure, shall be finally resolved by arbitration in accordance with the CPR Rules for Non-Administered Arbitration then currently in effect, by three independent and impartial arbitrators, of whom each party shall designate one and the two so designated shall designate the third; provided, however, that if one party fails to participate in either the negotiation or mediation as agreed herein, the other party may commence arbitration prior to the expiration of the time periods set forth above.  The arbitration shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§1-16, and judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof.  The place of arbitration shall be Hartford, Connecticut.  For purposes of entering any judgment upon an award rendered by the arbitrators, Bank and Executive hereby consent to the jurisdiction of any or all of the following courts: (i) the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut, (ii) any of the courts of the State of Connecticut, or (iii) any other court having jurisdiction.  Bank and Executive hereby agree that a judgment upon an award rendered by the arbitrators may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.  Subject to subsection (e) of this Section 13, Bank shall bear all costs and expenses arising in connection with any arbitration proceeding pursuant to this Section 13(c). Notwithstanding any provision in this Section 13(c), Executive shall be entitled to seek specific performance of Executive’s right to be paid during the pendency of any dispute or controversy arising under or in connection with this Agreement.

 

(d)           Interest on Unpaid Amounts.  Any amount which has become payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any decision by arbitrators or judgment by a court of law pursuant to this Section 13 but which has not been timely paid shall bear interest at the prime rate as quoted by Bank at the time such amount first becomes payable.

 

(e)           Costs of Proceedings.  Bank shall pay all costs and expenses, including all attorneys' fees and disbursements, of Bank and, at least monthly, Executive, in connection with any proceedings undertaken pursuant to this Section 13, whether or not instituted by Bank, or Executive, relating to the interpretation or enforcement of any provision of this Agreement; provided that if Executive instituted the proceeding and a finding is entered that Executive instituted the proceeding in bad faith, Executive shall pay all of Executive’s costs and expenses, including attorneys' fees and disbursements.  Any payments made under this Section 13(e) shall be in conformance with Section 4(b)(xi) above.

 

  

14

  

 

14.           Regulatory Limitation. 

 

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Bank shall not be obligated to make, and Executive shall have no right to receive, any payment, benefit or amount under this Agreement which would violate any law, regulation or regulatory order applicable to Bank or its parent at the time such payment, benefit or amount is due, including, without limitation, Section 1828(k)(1) of Title 12 of the United States Code and any regulation or order thereunder of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“Prohibited Payment”).  If and to the extent Bank shall at a later date be relieved of the restriction on its ability to make any Prohibited Payment, then at such time Bank shall promptly make payment of any such amounts to Executive.

 

15.           Miscellaneous.

 

No provision of this Agreement may be modified, waived or discharged unless such waiver, modification or discharge is agreed to in writing and signed by Executive and such officer as may be designated by the Board.  No waiver by either party hereto at any time of any breach by the other party hereto of, or compliance with, any condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by such other party shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at the time or at any prior or subsequent time.  The validity, interpretation, construction and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Connecticut without regard to its conflicts of law principles.  All references to sections of the Exchange Act or the Code shall be deemed also to refer to any successor provisions to such sections.  Any payments provided for hereunder shall be paid net of any applicable withholding required under federal, state or local law.  The obligations of Bank and Executive under this Agreement shall survive the expiration of this Agreement to the extent necessary to give effect to this Agreement.

16.           Validity.

 

The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect.
