a)  Tenant shall not be required to occupy the Premises throughout the Term and shall use the same for, and only for, the Permitted Use specified in the Preamble.

b)  Landlord represents and warrants that nothing in the Declaration conflicts with the provisions of this Lease or would prevent Tenant from utilizing the Premises for the Permitted Use.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, to the extent that the Declaration is amended or modified at any time in a manner that would increase Landlord’s costs of compliance therewith, Tenant shall not be responsible for paying Tenant’s Operating Expenses Share or any other contribution towards such increased costs.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Landlord shall not permit the Declaration to be amended or modified in any way that would prevent Tenant’s use of the Premises for engineering, research, development, laboratory and general office use and no amendment or modification to the Declaration shall increase Tenant’s liabilities or responsibilities beyond those set forth in this Lease or restrict Tenant’s rights in a manner that is inconsistent with the express provisions of this Lease.
 
6.    Fixed Basic Rent.  Commencing on the Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay, throughout the Term, the annual Fixed Basic Rent in the amount specified in the Preamble, without notice or demand and, except as otherwise contemplated by this Lease, without setoff, deduction, counterclaim or reductions, in equal monthly installments equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the annual Fixed Basic Rent (specified as Monthly Installments in the Preamble), in advance, on the first day of each calendar month during the Term.  If the Commencement Date falls on a day other than the first day of a calendar month, the Fixed Basic Rent for the partial calendar month in which the free Fixed Basic Rent period expires and Fixed Basic Rent is first due and payable hereunder shall be due and payable for such month, apportioned on a per diem basis for the period between the five (5) month anniversary of the Commencement Date and the first day of the next first full calendar month in the Term and such apportioned sum shall be paid on the five (5) month anniversary of the Commencement Date.

8.    Tenant’s Expense Payment.
 
a)  Commencing on the first day of the first month following completion of the Base Year, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as Additional Rent hereunder an amount equal to Tenant’s Operating Expenses Share of the total dollar increase, if any, in Operating Expenses for such Operating Year over the Operating Expenses for the Base Year (“Tenant’s Expense Payment”).  For any portion of an Operating Year less than a full twelve (12) month period occurring within the Term, Tenant’s Expense Payment shall be prorated on a per diem basis.  Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, Landlord agrees that Tenant’s Expense Payment for Controllable Expenses (as defined below) for each Operating Year shall not increase by more than five percent (5%) over Tenant’s Expense Payment for such Controllable Expense for the prior Operating Year calculated on a per annum and not a cumulative basis.  For this purpose, “Controllable Expenses” are all Operating Expenses other than Real Estate Taxes, insurance, utilities, and snow and ice removal.
 
(i)           Such Additional Rent shall be paid (or credited) in the following manner:
 
(1)  Commencing on the first day of the first month following completion of the Base Year, and continuing thereafter during each Operating Year during the Term on the first day of each month until receipt of the next Operating Expense Statement, Tenant will pay Landlord an amount set by Landlord sufficient to pay Landlord’s estimate (reasonably based on the actual Operating Expenses for the preceding Operating Year and Landlord’s projections of any anticipated increases or decreases thereof) of Tenant’s Expense Payment for the current Operating Year (or remaining portion thereof) (the “Monthly Operating Expense Estimate”). The Monthly Operating Expense Estimate for a period less than a full calendar month shall be duly prorated.
 
(2)  Following the end of each Operating Year following the Base Year, Landlord shall furnish Tenant an Operating Expense Statement setting forth the information described in Subsection 7(a)(iv) above.  The date that is thirty (30) days following the receipt of such Operating Expense Statement shall be deemed the “Expense Share Date.”  Landlord shall diligently endeavor to furnish Tenant an Operating Expense Statement not later than one hundred and fifty (150) days following the end of each Operating Year.
 
(3)  On the first day of the first month following receipt by Tenant of any annual Operating Expense Statement and continuing thereafter on the first day of each succeeding month until the issuance of the next ensuing Operating Expense Statement, Tenant shall pay Landlord the amount of the Monthly Operating Expense Estimate shown on the Operating Expense Statement.

 
13

 

(4)  If on any Expense Share Date Tenant’s payments of the installments of the Monthly Operating Expense Estimate for the preceding year’s Operating Expenses are greater than Tenant’s Expense Payment for such preceding Operating Year, Landlord shall credit Tenant with any excess, which credit may be offset by Tenant against next due installments of Rent.  If on any Expense Share Date Tenant’s payments of the installments of the Monthly Operating Expense Estimate for the current Operating Year are greater than the Monthly Operating Expense Estimate as shown on the Operating Expense Statement, Landlord shall credit Tenant with an amount equal to the amount by which the Monthly Operating Expense Estimate for the current Operating Year as shown on the Operating Expense Statement multiplied by the number of months elapsed to date in the current Operating Year (including the month in which payment is made) is less than the aggregate amount of payments of the Monthly Operating Expense Estimate theretofore made in the Operating Year in which the Operating Expense Statement is issued.  If on any Expense Share Date, Tenant’s payments of installments of the Monthly Operating Expense Estimate for the preceding year’s Operating Expenses are less than Tenant’s Expense Payment for such preceding Operating Year, Tenant shall pay Landlord such amount on or prior to the Expense Share Date.  If on any Expense Share Date Tenant’s payments of the installments of the Monthly Operating Expense Estimate for the current Operating Year are less than the Monthly Operating Expense Estimate as shown on the Operating Expense Statement, Tenant shall pay to Landlord on or prior to the Expense Share Date an amount equal to the amount by which the Monthly Operating Expense Estimate for the current Operating Year as shown on the Operating Expense Statement multiplied by the number of months elapsed to date in the current Operating Year (including the month in which payment is made) is greater than the aggregate amount of payments of the Monthly Operating Expense Estimate theretofore made in the Operating Year in which the Operating Expense Statement is issued.  If the Term expires prior to the Expense Share Date for the applicable Operating Year and if Tenant’s payments of the Monthly Operating Expense Estimate exceed Tenant’s Expense Payment, Landlord shall send the Operating Expense Statement to Tenant, and a refund from Landlord to Tenant shall be made on the Expense Share Date.  If the Term expires prior to the Expense Share Date for the applicable Operating Year and if Tenant’s payments of the Monthly Operating Expense Estimate are less than Tenant’s Expense Payment, Landlord shall send the Operating Expense Statement to Tenant, and an appropriate payment from Tenant to Landlord shall be made on the Expense Share Date.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall be entitled in its sole discretion to credit any refund to which Tenant is entitled under this Subsection 8(a)(i)(4) to amounts owed by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease. The provisions of this Subsection 8(a)(i)(4) shall remain in effect notwithstanding any termination of this Lease.
 
(ii)           Any Operating Expense Statement or other notice from Landlord pursuant to Sections 7 and 8 shall be deemed approved by Tenant as correct unless, within one hundred eighty (180) days after the furnishing thereof, Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing that it disputes the correctness of the Operating Expense Statement or other notice, specifying in reasonable detail the basis for such assertion, or Tenant has delivered a notice of audit of Landlord’s books and records pursuant to Section 8(c) below.  Notwithstanding any dispute concerning any Operating Expense Statement or other notice, Tenant shall continue to make payments in accordance with said Operating Expense Statement pending the resolution of such dispute.
 
b)  Tenant shall pay all taxes imposed upon Tenant’s furnishings, trade fixtures, equipment or other personal property.

 
14

 

c)  Tenant shall have the right, at its sole cost and expense, to inspect and/or audit Landlord’s books and records with respect to Operating Expenses at Landlord’s place of business or such other place Landlord regularly maintains such books and records, within one hundred eighty (180) days following receipt of the Operating Expense Statement, provided Tenant shall only be permitted to inspect and/or audit Landlord’s books and records with respect to Operating Expenses for the Operating Year that is the subject of the Operating Expense Statement.  Tenant shall give Landlord not less than seven (7) days prior written notice of its intention to conduct any such audit.  In the event Tenant’s audit or inspection discloses that Landlord has overstated the Operating Expenses in any year by more than five percent (5%), unless Landlord establishes that such audit was manifestly in error, then Landlord shall reimburse Tenant promptly upon demand for the reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by Tenant in connection with the audit or inspection.  Unless Tenant provides Landlord a copy of such audit of inspection report within thirty (30) days of the completion thereof, Tenant shall be deemed to have waived the right to make any claims with respect thereto.  If Tenant's inspection or audit of Operating Expenses indicates that Tenant was overcharged for Operating Expenses, unless Landlord establishes that such audit was manifestly in error, Landlord shall promptly repay all such overpayment to Tenant.  Tenant shall maintain the confidentiality of the results of any audit and shall not retain an auditor or other representative for such audit on a contingent basis.
 
9.    Interest and Late Charge.  Landlord may charge a late payment charge of five percent (5%) of any installment of Fixed Basic Rent or Additional Rent that is not paid within ten (10) days after written notice that the same is past due, provided that Landlord shall not be required to provide Tenant with such written notice of past due payment obligations more than three (3) times in any twelve (12)-month period before assessing such a late payment.  Any amount due from Tenant to Landlord which is not paid when due shall bear interest (“Interest”) at an interest rate equal to the Prime Rate published from time to time in the Money Rates column of the Wall Street Journal plus four percent (4%) (or, if lower, the highest rate then allowed under the usury laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania) from the date due until the date paid.  The right of Landlord to charge a late charge and interest with respect to past due installments of Fixed Basic Rent and Additional Rent is in addition to Landlord’s rights and remedies upon an event of default.  If a due date is not specified in the Lease for any amount payable by Tenant to Landlord hereunder, such due date shall be thirty (30) days from Tenant’s receipt from Landlord of an invoice therefor.
 
10. Insurance.
 
a)  Tenant’s Insurance.
 
(i)           Tenant covenants and represents, such covenants and representations being specifically designed to induce Landlord to execute this Lease, that during the entire Term, at its sole cost and expense, Tenant shall obtain, maintain and keep in full force and effect the following insurance:
 
(1)  “All Risk” property insurance against fire, theft, vandalism, malicious mischief, sprinkler leakage and such additional perils as are now, or hereafter may be, included in a standard extended coverage endorsement from time to time in general use in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania upon property of every description and kind owned by Tenant and or under Tenant’s care, custody or control located in the Building, the Property or within the Premises or for which Tenant is legally liable or installed by or on behalf of Tenant, including by way of example and not by way of limitation, furniture, trade fixtures, fittings, installations and any other personal property (but excluding the work done by Landlord in connection with Exhibit C which is owned by Landlord) in an amount equal to the full replacement cost thereof.

 
15

 

(2)  Commercial General Liability Insurance coverage to include personal injury, bodily injury, broad form property damage, operations hazard, owner’s protective coverage, contractual liability, products and completed operations liability naming Landlord and Landlord’s Mortgagee (hereinafter defined) or trust deed holder as additional named insured in limits of not less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00) provided that if Tenant’s insurer charges Tenant an administrative charge for making a change to the name of such Landlord’s Mortgagee (hereinafter defined) or trust deed holder from time to time after Tenant’s initial delivery of a compliant insurance certificate to Landlord, then Landlord shall pay such administrative charge within thirty (30) days of receipt of the invoice from Tenant’s insurer.
 
(3)  Business interruption insurance in such amounts as will reimburse Tenant for direct or indirect loss of earnings attributable to all perils commonly insured against by prudent tenants or assumed by Tenant pursuant to this Lease or attributable to prevention or denial of access to the Premises or Building as a result of such perils.
 
(4)  Workers’ Compensation insurance in form and amount as required by law.
 
(5)  Any other form or forms of insurance or any increase in the limits of any of the aforesaid enumerated coverages or other forms of insurance as Landlord or the Mortgagees or ground lessors (if any) of Landlord may reasonably require from time to time, provided that such coverage is available at a commercially reasonable rate, if in the reasonable opinion of Landlord or said Mortgagees or ground lessors said coverage and/or limits become inadequate or less than that commonly maintained by prudent tenants in similar buildings in the area by tenants making similar uses.
 
(ii)           All property insurance policies shall be taken out with insurers rated A+XV (or if such ratings are not in effect, the equivalent thereof) by Best Rating Service, or any successor thereto (or if there be none, an organization having a national reputation) who are licensed to do business in Pennsylvania.  A policy or certificate evidencing such insurance together with a paid bill shall be delivered to Landlord on the earlier of (a) the Commencement Date hereof, or (b) Tenant’s or Tenant’s agents’ or employees’ entry onto the Premises pursuant to Section 6 of the Work Letter.  Such insurance policy or certificate will provide an undertaking by the insurers to notify Landlord and the Mortgagees of Landlord in writing not less than thirty (30) days prior to any material change, reduction in coverage, cancellation, or other termination thereof.  Should a certificate of insurance initially be provided a policy shall be furnished by Tenant within thirty (30) days of the Commencement Date.  The aforesaid insurance shall be written with a deductible no greater than Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000).  Tenant’s insurance shall be primary and non-contributory to any insurance carried by Landlord or Landlord’s property manager or lenders.

 
16

 

(iii)           Tenant agrees that it will not keep or use or offer for sale in or upon the Premises or within the Property any article which may be prohibited by any insurance policy of Tenant or Landlord in force from time to time covering the Property or Premises.  In the event Tenant’s occupancy or conduct of business in or on the Premises or Property, whether or not Landlord has consented to the same, results in any increase in premiums for insurance carried from time to time by Landlord with respect to the Building, the Property or the Premises (or by the Association created in accordance with the Declaration with respect to the Property), Tenant shall pay such increase in premiums as Additional Rent within ten (10) days after being billed therefor by Landlord.  In determining whether increased premiums are a result of Tenant’s use and occupancy a schedule issued by the organization computing the insurance rate on the Property or Premises showing the components of such rate shall be conclusive evidence of the items and charges making up such rate.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Landlord hereby confirms that, to Landlord’s knowledge, use of the Premises for the Permitted Use should not result in any such increase in premium, subject only to any ancillary uses of the Premises permitted by this Lease and which are atypical for office tenants, if any.  Tenant shall promptly comply with all reasonable requirements of Tenant’s and Landlord’s insurer relating to the Building, the Property or Premises.
 
(iv)           If any insurance policy carried Tenant as required by this Section 10 shall be cancelled or cancellation shall be threatened or the coverage thereunder reduced or threatened to be reduced in any way by reason of the use or occupation of the Premises or Building or any part thereof by Tenant or any assignee or subtenant of Tenant or anyone permitted by Tenant to be upon the Premises, and if Tenant fails to obtain alternative insurance coverage as required by this Section 10 or fails to remedy the conditions giving rise to such cancellation or threatened cancellation or reduction in coverage on or before the earlier of (i) five (5) business days after notice thereof from Landlord, or (ii) prior to such cancellation or reduction becoming effective, Tenant shall be in default and an event of default shall occur under this Lease and Landlord shall have all of the remedies available to Landlord pursuant to this Lease.  If any insurance policy carried by Landlord as required by this Section 10 shall be cancelled or cancellation shall be threatened or the coverage thereunder threatened or threatened to be reduced in any way by reason of the use or occupation of the Premises or Building or any part thereof by Tenant or any assignee or subtenant of Tenant or anyone permitted by Tenant to be upon the Premises, Landlord shall provide Tenant with written notice thereof promptly upon Landlord’s receipt of knowledge of such cancellation or threatened cancellation.  If Tenant fails to remedy the conditions giving rise to such cancellation or threatened cancellation or reduction in coverage on or before the earlier of (i) five (5) business days after notice thereof from Landlord or (ii) prior to such cancellation or reduction becoming effective, Tenant shall be in default and an event of default shall occur under this Lease and Landlord shall have all of the remedies available to Landlord pursuant to this Lease.
 
b)  Landlord’s Insurance.  Landlord covenants and agrees that throughout the Term it will insure the Property and the Building (excluding any property with respect to which Tenant is obligated to insure pursuant to Subsection 10(a)(i)(1) above, but including the Premises Work (as defined in Exhibit C to this Lease) against damage by perils covered by the all-risk “special form” property insurance and commercial general liability insurance in such reasonable amounts with such reasonable deductibles as required by any Mortgagee or ground lessor, or, if none, as would be carried by a prudent owner of a similar building in the area, provided that such property insurance must be for the full replacement cost of the Building and such commercial general liability insurance shall have a single limit of not less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000).  Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, take out and carry any other forms of insurance as it or the Mortgagee or ground lessor (if any) of Landlord may reasonably require or reasonably determine available.  All insurance carried by Landlord on the Building in accordance with this Section 10(b) of the Lease or otherwise allocated to the Building pursuant to the Declaration or any contribution by Tenant to the cost of insurance premiums by Tenant as provided in Section 10(a)(iii) herein shall be included as an Operating Expenses pursuant to Section 8.  Notwithstanding its inclusion as an Operating Expense or any contribution by Tenant to the cost of insurance premiums by Tenant as provided in Section 10(a)(iii) herein, Tenant acknowledges that it has no right to receive any proceeds from any such insurance policies carried by Landlord although Landlord shall use such proceeds in the repair and reconstruction of the Building, the Property and the Premises.  Tenant further acknowledges that the exculpatory provisions of this Lease and the provisions of this Section 10 as to Tenant’s insurance are designed to insure adequate coverage as to Tenant’s property and business without regard to fault and avoid Landlord obtaining similar coverage for such loss for its negligence or that of its agents, servants or employees which would result in double coverage for the same perils includable as part of Operating Expenses which are payable in part by Tenant.  Landlord will not carry insurance of any kind on Tenant’s furniture or furnishings, or on any trade fixtures, equipment, appurtenances or improvements of Tenant under this Lease (other than the Premises Work (as defined in Exhibit C to this Lease)), and Landlord shall not be obligated to repair any damage thereto or replace the same.

 
17

 
 
c)  Waiver of Subrogation.  Any policy or policies of fire, extended coverage or similar casualty insurance, which either party obtains in connection with the Premises, Building or Property as required by this Lease shall include a clause or endorsement denying the insurer any rights of subrogation against the other party (i.e. Landlord or Tenant) for all perils covered by such policy.  Should such waiver not be available then the policy for which the waiver is not available must name the other party as an additional named insured affording it the same coverage as that provided the party obtaining such coverage. Any provision of this Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, Landlord and Tenant hereby release the other from any and all liability or responsibility to the other or anyone claiming through or under them by way of subrogation or otherwise (a) from any and all liability for any loss or damage to the property of the releasing party, (b) for any loss or damage that may result, directly or indirectly, from the loss or damage to such property (including rental value and business interruption), and (c) from legal liability for any loss or damage to property (no matter who the owner of the property may be), all to the extent that the releasing party’s loss or damage is insured or, if not insured, was required to be insured by this Lease, even if such loss or damage or legal liability shall be caused by or result from the fault or negligence of the other party or anyone for whom such party may be responsible, and even if the releasing party is self insured in whole or in part or the amount of the releasing party’s insurance is inadequate to cover the loss or damage or legal liability.  It is the intention of the parties that Landlord and Tenant shall look solely to their respective insurance carriers for recovery against any such property loss or damage or legal liability, without such insurance carriers having any rights of subrogation against the other party.  For the purpose of the foregoing waiver, the amount of any deductible applicable to any loss or damage shall be deemed covered by and recoverable by the insured under the insurance policy to which such deductible relates.
 
11.  Repairs and Maintenance.
 
a)  Subject to Landlord’s obligations in Section 11(b) hereof, Tenant shall, throughout the Term, and at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, use commercially reasonable efforts to keep and maintain the Premises in a neat and orderly condition; and, upon expiration of the Term or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall leave the Premises in good order and condition, ordinary wear and tear, damage by fire or other insured casualty excepted, and for that purpose and except as stated in this sentence, Tenant will make all necessary repairs and replacements to the Premises to deliver it in such condition.  Tenant shall not use or permit the use of any portion of the Common Facilities in violation of Exhibit F to this Lease.

 
18

 
 
b)  Landlord shall, throughout the Term, maintain the structural elements, Building operating systems, exterior and Common Facilities lobby interior windows of the Building and other improvements located on the Property in good condition and repair; provided, however, that Landlord shall have no responsibility to make any repairs unless and until Landlord receives written notice of the need for such repair or is, or should reasonably have been, otherwise aware of the need for such repair and provided further, that Landlord shall not be obligated to repair any tenant improvements which are not part of the Premises Work (as defined in Exhibit C to this Lease).  Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to keep and maintain all Common Facilities of the Property and any sidewalks, parking areas, curbs and access ways adjoining the Property in a clean and orderly condition, free of accumulation of dirt and rubbish and to keep and maintain all landscaped areas within the Property in a neat and orderly condition.
 
c)  Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to Section 10(c) of this Lease, repairs and replacements to the Premises and the Property proximately arising out of or proximately caused by Tenant’s use, manner of use or occupancy of the Premises, by Tenant’s installation of alterations, additions, improvements, trade fixtures or equipment in or upon the Premises or by any act or omission of Tenant or any employee, agent, contractor or invitee of Tenant shall be made at Tenant’s cost and expense to the extent proximately caused by Tenant or any employee, agent, contractor or invitee of Tenant and Tenant shall pay Landlord the cost of any such repair or replacement, as Additional Rent, upon demand.
 
12. Utilities and Services.

Tenant shall pay all bills for such utility usage within thirty (30) days after receipt thereof, and any non-payment or late payment of such utility bills shall be deemed a default under the terms of this Lease.  All charges for installation and repairs of any meters servicing the Premises shall be payable by Landlord.  Tenant’s use of electric energy in the Premises shall not at any time exceed that contemplated by the Space Plan or Premises Plan (each as defined in Exhibit C of this Lease).  If Tenant shall require electricity or install electrical equipment in excess of the electricity requirements contemplated by the Space Plan or Premises Plan (each as defined in Exhibit C of this Lease), Tenant will obtain prior written approval from Landlord and will pay, as Additional Rent, for the resulting additional direct expense to Landlord, including the expense resulting from the installation of any equipment and meters, within thirty (30) days after receipt of an invoice from Landlord.

d)  Except as provided in Section 12(e) of this Lease, Landlord shall not be liable for any damages to Tenant resulting from the quality, quantity, failure, unavailability or disruption of any services beyond the reasonable control of Landlord and the same shall not constitute a termination of this Lease or an actual or constructive eviction or entitle Tenant to an abatement of rent.  Landlord shall not be responsible for providing any services not specifically provided for in this Lease.
 
e)  In the event an interruption in HVAC or utilities that renders the Premises or a significant portion thereof inaccessible or unusable for the normal conduct of Tenant’s business, which is not covered pursuant to Section 18 (Damage by Fire or Other Casualty) or Section 21 (Condemnation) hereof, that continues for a period in excess of two (2) consecutive business days (i.e., Monday through Saturday) following written notice of such interruption to Landlord (the “Interruption Notice”), and if Tenant does not in fact occupy the Premises or a significant portion thereof due to such interruption, and provided such failure is not materially caused by Tenant, Tenant's contractors or any of their respective agents or employees (such interruption in HVAC or utilities that meets the foregoing criteria, a “Covered Interruption”), then Tenant may elect in such Interruption Notice to have the Rent under this Lease equitably abated following the second (2nd) business day (i.e., Monday through Saturday) following Tenant’s delivery of the Interruption Notice and continuing until such HVAC or utilities are again available and the Premises or the applicable portion thereof is again accessible and tenantable for the normal conduct of Tenant’s business, which equitable abatement shall be Tenant’s sole and exclusive remedy with respect to such Covered Interruption.  In the event that Tenant does not elect in an Interruption Notice delivered as a result of a Covered Interruption to have the Rent under this Lease equitably abated, then Tenant shall waive the right to have the Rent under this Lease equitably abated but shall retain all other remedies available to Tenant pursuant to this Lease with respect to any Covered Interruption.

15. Alterations, Additions and Fixtures.
 
a)  Tenant shall have the right to install in the Premises any trade fixtures and shall remove same upon expiration or termination of this Lease; provided, however, that no such installation and no removal thereof shall be permitted which materially and adversely affects any structural component or operating system of the Building or Premises and that Tenant shall repair and restore, ordinary wear and tear and damage by fire and other insured casualty excepted, any and all damage or injury to the Premises or the Property caused by installation or removal at Tenant’s sole cost and expense.

 
22

 
 
b)  Tenant shall not make or permit to be made any alterations, improvements or additions to the Premises or Property without on each occasion first presenting plans and specifications to Landlord and obtaining Landlord’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, but may be conditioned upon compliance with reasonable requirements of Landlord as provided in this Section 15(b).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may make nonstructural cosmetic alterations to the Premises (including replacing paint, carpet and wallcoverings) that do not require a permit under the applicable legal requirements and that do not cost in excess of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) at any one time within any twelve (12)-month period (“Cosmetic Alterations”) without Landlord’s consent, but upon written notice to Landlord for any Cosmetic Alterations in excess of Twenty Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000).  If Landlord consents in writing to any proposed alterations, improvements or additions or if Tenant makes any Cosmetic Alterations, then Tenant at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, may make the proposed alterations, improvements and additions or Cosmetic Alterations provided that: (i) Tenant supplies any necessary permits; (ii) such alterations and improvements do not, in Landlord’s judgment, materially impair the structural strength of the Building or any other improvements or materially reduce the value of the Property and are at least equal in quality to building standard improvements; (iii) Tenant takes or causes to be taken all steps that are otherwise required by Section 16 of this Lease; (iv) Tenant uses a contractor reasonably approved by Landlord; (v) the occupants of the Building and of any adjoining real estate owned by Landlord are not unreasonably annoyed or disturbed by such work; (vi) the alterations, improvements or additions shall be installed in accordance with the approved plans and specifications (other than Cosmetic Alterations, for which no plans or specifications shall be required to be approved by Landlord) and completed according to a construction schedule reasonably approved by Landlord; and (vii) Tenant’s contractors provide insurance of the types and coverage amounts reasonably required by Landlord.  Any and all alterations, improvements and additions to the Premises which are constructed, installed or otherwise made by Tenant shall be the property of Tenant until the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease; at that time all such alterations, improvements and additions, to the extent such alterations, improvements and additions are fixtures of the Premises, shall remain on the Premises and become the property of Landlord without payment by Landlord unless, upon the termination of this Lease, Landlord instructs Tenant in writing to remove the same in which event Tenant will remove such alterations, improvements and additions, and repair and restore any damage to the Property or the Premises caused by the installation or removal at its sole cost and expense, ordinary wear and tear and damage by fire and other insured casualty excepted. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, Landlord may withhold its approval to any proposed alterations, additions or improvements to the Premises in its absolute and sole discretion with respect to any such alteration, addition or improvement which Landlord determines involves any modification to the Building’s exterior or material modification of its structural, electrical, mechanical or plumbing systems, or any components thereof.

c)  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense (including, without limitation, payment of all utilities in connection therewith), shall also have the right without charge to install and use a total of one or two satellite dishes, antennae and/or similar communications equipment, necessary or useful for the operation of Tenant’s business, together with associated equipment, shelters, cables, wires, utility connections and other communications related equipment (collectively, the “Equipment”), limited to a location on the roof of the Building designated by Landlord, provided that such Equipment will not interfere with any other pre-existing communication devices or equipment utilized by other tenants of the Building and subject to Landlord’s review and approval of Tenant’s plans and specifications therefore, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or destroyed.  Such installation shall be performed by a contractor reasonably acceptable to Landlord and in a manner which strictly complies with the terms of any applicable roof warranty for the Building, a copy of which roof warranty shall be supplied to Tenant upon written request.  Landlord shall provide Tenant reasonable access to the Building to run the necessary cable and piping related to the Equipment.  Tenant shall be solely responsible for any and all costs associated with the installation, operation, insurance, maintenance and removal of the Equipment and any associated roof repair (including, but not limited to roof repairs connected with the installation, operation, maintenance and removal of the Equipment from the roof), ordinary wear and tear and damage by fire and other insured casualty excepted, which repair shall be performed by Landlord’s contractor at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such repairs shall be performed at commercially reasonable rates and Landlord’s contractor shall be under the direction and control of Tenant with respect to such repair.  At Landlord’s written request, Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, shall screen the Equipment, with screening reasonably acceptable to Landlord, such that the Equipment is shielded from view on the Property and surrounding areas.
 
16. Mechanic’s Liens.  Tenant shall promptly pay any contractors and materialmen who supply labor, work or materials to Tenant at the Premises or the Property so as to minimize the possibility of a lien attaching to the Premises or the Property.  Tenant shall take all commercially reasonable steps permitted by law in order to avoid the imposition of any mechanic’s, laborer’s or materialman’s lien upon the Premises or the Property relating to labor, work or materials supplied to Tenant at the Premises or the Property.  Should any such lien or notice of lien be filed for work performed for Tenant other than by Landlord, Tenant shall cause such lien or notice of lien to be discharged of record by payment, deposit, bond or otherwise within fifteen (15) days after Tenant’s receipt of notice thereof.  If Tenant shall fail to cause such lien or claim to be discharged and removed from record within such fifteen (15) day period, then, without obligation to investigate the validity thereof and in addition to any other right or remedy Landlord may have, Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, contest the lien or claim or discharge it by deposit or bond.  Any amounts so paid by Landlord and all costs and expenses including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees incurred by Landlord in connection therewith, together with Interest from the respective dates of Landlord’s making such payment or incurring such cost or expense, shall constitute Additional Rent payable under this Lease and Tenant shall pay same within thirty (30) days of receipt of an invoice therefor.  Nothing in this Lease is intended to authorize Tenant to do or cause any work or labor to be done or any materials to be supplied for the account of Landlord, all of the same to be solely for Tenant’s account and at Tenant’s risk and expense.  Further, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, nothing contained in or contemplated by this Lease shall be deemed or construed in any way to constitute the consent or request by Landlord for the performance of any work or services or the furnishing of any materials for which any lien could be filed against the Premises, the Building or the Property or any part of any thereof, nor as giving Tenant any right, power or authority to contract or permit the performance of any work or services or the furnishing of any materials within the meaning of 49 P.S. Sections 1101-1902, as amended, or under the Contractor and Subcontractor Payment Act or any amendment thereof or otherwise for which any lien could be filed against the Premises, the Building, the Property or any part of any thereof.  Throughout this Lease the term “mechanic’s lien” is used to include any lien, encumbrance or charge levied or imposed upon the Premises, the Building or the Property or any interest therein or income therefrom (i) on account of any mechanic’s, laborer’s or materialman’s lien or (ii) arising out of any debt or liability to or any claim or demand of any contractor, mechanic, supplier, materialman or laborer and shall include without limitation any mechanic’s notice of intention given to Landlord or Tenant, or any statutory stop order given to Landlord or Tenant to preserve a subcontractor’s rights in connection with a work stoppage as a result of non-payment from Tenant or any injunctive or equitable action brought by any person entitled to a mechanic’s lien.

17. Landlord’s Right of Entry.
 
a)  Tenant shall permit Landlord and the authorized representatives of Landlord and of any Mortgagee to enter the Premises at all reasonable times, with reasonable prior notice of no less than two (2) business days to Tenant (except in the case of an emergency in which case notice shall be given as soon as practicable), for the purpose of (i) reasonable inspection of the Premises or (ii) making any necessary repairs to the Premises or to the Building.  During the progress of any necessary repairs to the Premises or the Building, Landlord will attempt not to inconvenience Tenant, but shall not be liable for non-material inconvenience, annoyance, disturbance, loss of business or other damage to Tenant by reason of making any necessary repairs to the Premises or to the Building, and the obligations of Tenant under this Lease shall not be thereby affected in any manner whatsoever.  In the event Landlord is required to make repairs to the Premises or to the Building not materially caused by Tenant or its agents, employees or contractors and such repairs make all or a significant portion of the Premises inaccessible or unusable for the normal conduct of Tenant’s business, and Tenant does not in fact occupy the Premises or a significant portion thereof due to such repairs and provides Landlord with written notice thereof on or prior to the date Tenant so stops occupying or reduces its occupancy of the Premises, Rent due hereunder shall be equitably abated so long as such repairs continue to make the Premises inaccessible or unusable for the normal conduct of Tenant’s business.
 
b)  Landlord shall have the right at all reasonable times, with reasonable prior notice of no less than two (2) business days to Tenant, to enter and to exhibit the Premises for the purpose of inspection or showing the Premises in connection with a sale or mortgage and, during the last twelve (12) months of the Term, to enter upon and to exhibit the Premises to any prospective tenant.
 
c)  If the Premises are vacated or abandoned by Tenant, Landlord shall not be permitted to prepare the Premises for re-occupancy unless and until Tenant is in default under this Lease beyond any applicable cure periods.

18. Damage by Fire or Other Casualty.

a)  If the Premises or Building is damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty, Tenant or Landlord, respectively, shall promptly notify the other party hereto, whereupon Landlord shall repair, rebuild or replace such damage and restore the Premises to substantially the same condition as the Premises were in immediately prior to such damage or destruction; provided, however, that Landlord shall only be obligated to restore such damage or destruction to the extent of Landlord’s actual receipt of the proceeds of the insurance maintained by Landlord in accordance with Section 10(b) of this Lease.  Landlord shall provide Tenant with written notice (the “Repair Notice”) of how long the repair and restoration of the Premises is anticipated to take within forty five (45) days following the date of such fire or other casualty.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Premises or the Building is destroyed or damaged to the extent that in Landlord’s sole judgment the Premises and the Building cannot be repaired or restored within one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of such casualty, Landlord may terminate this Lease, effective as of the date of such damage or destruction, in the Repair Notice, or such Landlord’s termination right shall be deemed waived. Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease, effective as of the date of such damage or destruction, if (a) (i) any portion of the Premises is covered by a casualty or (ii) any material portion of the Property is covered by a casualty which materially restricts Tenants ability to use the Building or Premises and (b) the Premises and the Building cannot be repaired or restored within one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of such casualty as set forth in Landlord’s Repair Notice, provided that Tenant must exercise such termination right by delivery to Landlord of a termination notice within the later of (i) seventy-five (75) days following the date of such fire or other casualty or (ii) thirty (30) days after Landlord’s delivery to Tenant of the Repair Notice, or such Tenant’s termination right shall be deemed waived.  Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease, effective as of the date of such damage or destruction, if the Premises and the Building are not repaired or restored by the anticipated date of completion of repair or restoration as set forth in Landlord’s Repair Notice, plus an additional thirty (30) days.
 
b)  The repair, rebuilding or replacement work shall be commenced promptly and completed with due diligence, taking into account the time required by Landlord to effect a settlement with, and procure insurance proceeds from, the insurer, and for delays beyond Landlord’s reasonable control.
 
c)  The net amount of any insurance proceeds actually recovered by reason of the damage or destruction of the Building (meaning the gross insurance proceeds actually received by Landlord excluding proceeds received by Landlord pursuant to a rental coverage endorsement and the cost of adjusting the insurance claim and collecting the insurance proceeds) shall be applied towards the cost of restoration.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, if in Landlord’s reasonable opinion the net insurance proceeds will not be adequate to complete such restoration, Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease, effective as of the date of such damage or destruction, and all the unaccrued obligations of the parties hereto by sending a written notice of such termination to Tenant.
 
d)  Landlord’s obligation or election to restore the Premises under this Section 18 or to terminate this Lease shall be subject to the terms of any present or future Mortgage affecting the Premises and to the Mortgagee’s consent if required in the Mortgage and shall not, in any event, include the repair, restoration or replacement of the trade fixtures, improvements, alterations, furniture or any other property owned, installed, made by, or in the possession of Tenant other than the work done by Landlord in connection with Exhibit C.

 
26

 
 
e)  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, if Tenant is dispossessed in whole or in part of the Premises due to fire or other casualty, Rent shall be equitably abated until Landlord has completed its restoration obligations.
 
19. Non-Abatement of Rent.  Except as otherwise provided in this Lease, there shall be no abatement or reduction of the Fixed Basic Rent, Additional Rent or other sums payable under this Lease for any cause whatsoever and this Lease shall not terminate, nor shall Tenant be entitled to surrender the Premises, in the event of fire, casualty or condemnation or any default by Landlord under this Lease.
 
20. Indemnification.
 
a)  Unless such loss, costs or damage were caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or its employees, agents or contractors, Tenant hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Landlord and its employees, agents and contractors harmless from any loss, costs and damages (including reasonable attorney’s fees and costs) suffered by Landlord and its agents, employees or contractors, as a result of (i) any claim by a third party, its agents, employees or contractors to the extent arising from Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises; or (ii) any losses caused by the negligence of Tenant or any of Tenant’s employees, agents or contractors.  Tenant shall have the right to designate counsel acceptable to Landlord, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, to assume the defense of any such third party claim on behalf of itself and Landlord.  Landlord shall not have the right to settle any such third party claim without the consent of Tenant.  This indemnity shall survive the expiration of the Term or earlier termination of this Lease.
 
b)  Unless such loss, costs or damage were caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or its employees, agents or contractors, Landlord hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Tenant and its employees, agents and contractors harmless from any loss, costs and damages (including reasonable attorney’s fees and costs) suffered by Tenant and its agents, employees or contractors, as a result of (i) any claim by a third party, its agents, employees or contractors to the extent arising from Landlord’s use, occupancy or management of the Building or the Property; or (ii) any losses caused by the negligence of Landlord or any of Landlord’s employees, agents or contractors.  Landlord shall have the right to designate counsel acceptable to Tenant, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, to assume the defense of any such third party claim on behalf of itself and Tenant.  Tenant shall not have the right to settle any such third party claim without the consent of Landlord.  This indemnity shall survive the expiration of the Term or earlier termination of this Lease.
 
21. Condemnation.  In the event of a condemnation in whole or in part of the Premises, Building, Property or Common Facilities, Landlord shall provide Tenant with written notice thereof (the “Condemnation Notice”) within ten (10) days following Landlord’s receipt of written notice thereof from the condemning authority.

 
27

 

a)  Termination.  If (i) any portion of the Premises is covered by a condemnation and, in Tenant’s sole opinion, the remaining part is insufficient for the reasonable operation therein of Tenant’s business; or (ii) subject to the provisions of Subsection 21(b)(i) hereof, any of the Property is covered by a condemnation and, in Landlord’s sole opinion, it would be impractical or the condemnation proceeds are insufficient to restore the remainder of the Property; then, in the event of such condemnation could have a material adverse effect on Tenant, Landlord or Tenant, as applicable, shall have the right to terminate this Lease by providing the other party with notice thereof, in the case where Landlord is providing notice to Tenant, within ten (10) days following transmission of the Condemnation Notice (provided that Landlord, at its option, may provide such notice within the Condemnation Notice), or, in the case where Tenant is providing notice to Landlord, within thirty (30) days following receipt of the Condemnation Notice by Tenant, and in the event of any such termination, this Lease shall terminate effective as of the date upon which possession is taken by the condemnor and all obligations under this Lease shall cease (except for those specifically set forth in the Lease as surviving the expiration of the Term or earlier termination of this Lease) effective as of the date upon which possession is taken by the condemnor.  Upon such termination the Fixed Basic Rent and all Additional Rent herein reserved shall be apportioned and paid in full by Tenant to Landlord to that date and all such rent prepaid for periods beyond that date shall forthwith be repaid by Landlord to Tenant.
 
b)  Partial Condemnation.
 
(i)           If there is a partial condemnation and this Lease has not been terminated pursuant to subsection (a) hereof, Landlord shall restore the Building and the improvements which are part of 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 possession shall have been taken by the condemnor; provided, however, that Landlord shall only be obligated to restore such damage from condemnation to the extent possible with the condemnation damage award plus any insurance proceeds related to the condemnation plus, if necessary, a contribution by Landlord of up to Two Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000) which shall be allocated in its entirety to the costs and expenses to restore the Premises (collectively, the “Condemnation Proceeds”).  Subject to Section 21(c) of this Lease, if the Condemnation Proceeds are more than adequate to cover the cost of restoration and Landlord’s expenses in collecting the condemnation proceeds, any excess proceeds shall be retained by Landlord or applied to repayment of any Mortgage secured by the Premises.
 
(ii)           If there is a partial condemnation and this Lease has not been terminated by the date upon which the condemnor obtains possession, the obligations of Landlord and Tenant under this Lease shall be unaffected by such condemnation except that there shall be an equitable abatement for the balance of the Term of the Fixed Basic Rent according to the value of the Premises before and after the date upon which the condemnor takes possession.  In the event that the parties are unable to agree upon the amount of such abatement, either party may submit the issue to arbitration.
 
c)  Award.  Landlord shall receive the entire award (which shall include sales proceeds) payable as a result of a condemnation, taking or sale in lieu thereof allocable to Landlord’s fee interest in the Property.  Tenant hereby expressly assigns to Landlord any and all right, title and interest of Tenant now or hereafter arising in and to any such award.  Tenant shall, however, have the right to recover from such authority through a separate award which does not reduce Landlord’s award, any compensation as may be awarded to Tenant on account of Tenant’s leasehold interest in the Premises and moving and relocation expenses and depreciation to and removal of Tenant’s physical property.

 
28

 
 
22. Quiet Enjoyment.  Tenant, upon paying the Fixed Basic Rent, Additional Rent and other charges herein required and observing and keeping all covenants, agreements and conditions of this Lease, shall quietly have and enjoy the Premises during the Term without hindrance or molestation by anyone claiming by or through Landlord, subject, however, to the exceptions, reservations and conditions of this Lease and any Mortgage to which this Lease is subordinate pursuant to an executed subordination and nondisturbance agreement.
 
23. Rules and Regulations.  The current rules and regulations governing the use and enjoyment of the Premises and the remainder of the Property (the “Rules and Regulations”) are attached hereto as Exhibit F.  Any changes to the Rules and Regulations after the date hereof shall be approved in writing by the Tenant, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and shall be deemed given if Tenant fails to respond to a written request therefor within thirty (30) days of Landlord’s written request.  The Rules and Regulations shall not materially interfere with Tenant’s use and enjoyment of the Premises in accordance with the provisions of this Lease for the Permitted Use and shall not increase or modify Tenant’s obligations under this Lease.  In the event of a conflict between this Lease and the Rules and Regulations, the Lease shall control.  To the extent not in conflict with this Lease, Tenant shall comply at all times with the Rules and Regulations and shall cause its agents, employees, invitees, visitors, and guests to do so.  Landlord shall not be responsible to Tenant for non-observance or violation of any of the Rules and Regulations by any tenant of the Building unless such non-observance or violation is not remedied within thirty (30) days following receipt of written notice thereof by Landlord from Tenant, however, Landlord shall not be responsible to Tenant if Landlord uses commercially reasonable methods to stop the foregoing non-observance or violation during such thirty (30)-day period and the non-observance or violation continues to exist beyond that time during which Landlord makes ongoing commercially reasonable efforts to stop the foregoing non-observance or violation.
 
24. Assignment and Sublease.

(iv)        Tenant and each assignee shall be and remain liable for the observance of all the covenants and provisions of this Lease as the Lease existed on the date of assignment to assignee, including, but not limited to, the payment of Fixed Basic Rent and Additional Rent reserved herein, through the entire Term; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant also shall be liable for additional sums owed hereunder incurred by an assignee if such additional sums are payable pursuant to a right to lease additional space granted in this Lease or if such additional sums are payable pursuant to an extension of the Term which is effected pursuant to a Renewal Option.

Subordination.  Tenant shall receive subordination, non-disturbance, recognition and attornment agreements reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to Tenant from Landlord’s current lender which holds a mortgage lien on the Property and any other party, present or future, who is a mortgagee, lienholder or ground lessor of Landlord (collectively, the “SNDRA Requirement”), and Tenant shall execute such agreements and deliver the same to Landlord within five (5) days of Tenant’s receipt thereof.  The subordination, non-disturbance, recognition and attornment agreement (“SNDRA”) from Landlord’s current lender which holds a mortgage lien on the Property is attached as Exhibit O, is hereby deemed as satisfactory to meet the SNDRA Requirement, and shall be executed and delivered by all parties thereto simultaneously with execution of this Lease.  This Lease and Tenant’s rights under this Lease shall be subject and subordinate at all times in lien and priority to any mortgage or other primary encumbrance, now or hereafter placed upon or affecting the Property or the Premises, and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations and extensions thereof, provided that the SNDRA Requirement is met.  Provided that the SNDRA Requirement is met, Tenant shall execute and deliver upon demand any further instrument or instruments, reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to Tenant, confirming the subordination of this Lease to the lien of any such first Mortgage or to the lien of any other Mortgage, if requested to do so by Landlord with the consent of the first Mortgagee, and any further instrument or instruments of attornment reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to Tenant that may be desired by any such Mortgagee or Landlord, provided, however, that any holder of such lien or Mortgage agrees not to disturb the use and occupancy of the Premises in accordance with the terms of this Lease upon any foreclosure.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Mortgagee may at any time subordinate its Mortgage to this Lease, without Tenant’s consent, by giving notice in writing to Tenant and thereupon this Lease shall be deemed prior to such Mortgage without regard to their respective dates of execution and delivery.  In that event such Mortgagee shall have the same rights with respect to this Lease as though this Lease had been executed prior to the execution and delivery of the Mortgage and had been assigned to such Mortgagee.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant’s failure to furnish an SNDRA substantially similar to Exhibit O within five (5) days following Landlord’s delivery of a notice to Tenant stating that Tenant failed to provide such instrument during the initial five (5) day request period shall constitute an event of default under this Lease.  Landlord represents that the only Mortgage applicable to the Property as of the date hereof is: Open-End Mortgage, Assignment of Rents and Leases, Security Agreement and Financing Statement dated December 21, 2007 executed by Landlord in favor of Bank of America, N.A., as recorded in the Office of the Bucks County Recorder of Deeds, Bucks County, Pennsylvania on January 2, 2008 as Document No. 2008000462, Mortgage Book 5652, page 1023, and that there are no ground leases applicable to the Property.

27. Curing Tenant’s Defaults.  If Tenant defaults in the performance of any of its obligations under this Lease, Landlord may, without any obligation to do so and in addition to any other rights it may have in law or equity, elect to cure such default on behalf of Tenant after five (5) days prior written notice (except in the case of an emergency that presents a significant and immediate threat of damage or harm to persons or property) to Tenant.  Tenant shall reimburse Landlord upon demand for any sums paid or costs incurred by Landlord in curing such default, including Interest thereon from the respective dates of Landlord’s making the payments and incurring such costs, which sums and costs together with Interest thereon shall be deemed Additional Rent payable within thirty (30) days of demand.
 
28. Surrender.
 
a)   At the expiration of the Term or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall promptly yield up the Premises and all fixtures, improvements, alterations and additions thereto (except for Tenant’s trade fixtures and Tenant’s equipment) in a condition which is clean of garbage and debris and broom clean and in the same condition, order and repair in which they are required to be kept throughout the Term, ordinary wear and tear and damage by fire and other insured casualty excepted.  All of Tenant’s property required to be removed pursuant to this Lease not removed prior to the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease shall thereupon be conclusively presumed to have been abandoned by Tenant and Landlord may, at its option, take over possession of such property and either (a) declare the same to be the property of Landlord by written notice to Tenant at the address provided herein or (b) at the sole cost and expense of Tenant, remove and store and/or dispose of the same or any part thereof in any manner that Landlord shall choose without incurring liability to Tenant or any other person, and Tenant’s failure to remove such property shall be deemed a holding over by Tenant under Section 28(b) hereunder until such failure is rectified by Landlord or Tenant.

 
33

 
 
b)  If Tenant, or any person claiming through Tenant, continues to occupy the Premises after the expiration of the Term or earlier termination of this Lease or any renewal thereof the tenancy under this Lease shall become, at the option of Landlord, expressed in a written notice to Tenant and not otherwise, month-to-month, terminable by Tenant or Landlord on thirty (30) days prior notice, under the same terms and conditions set forth in this Lease, except that, regardless of whether Landlord grants such consent, the Fixed Basic Rent during such continued occupancy shall be one hundred and fifty percent (150%) of the amount set forth in the Preamble for the last month of the Term.  Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, any holding over by Tenant without Landlord’s prior written consent shall constitute an event of default under this Lease and shall be deemed a tenancy at sufferance and shall be subject to all the remedies set forth in Subsection 29(b) of this Lease.
 
29. Defaults-Remedies.
 
a)   Defaults.  It shall be a default or event of default under this Lease if any one or more of the following events occurs:
 
(1)  Tenant fails to pay in full, within ten (10) days of written notice from Landlord of Tenant’s failure to pay, any and all installments of Fixed Basic Rent or Additional Rent or any other charges or payments due and payable under this Lease whether or not herein included as rent.
 
(2)  Tenant violates or fails to perform or otherwise breaches any agreement, term, covenant or condition contained in this Lease where such failure shall continue for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice from Landlord; provided, however, that if the nature of the default is such that the same cannot reasonably be cured within such thirty (30) day period, Tenant shall not be deemed to be in default if Tenant shall commence the cure of such default within such  thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently prosecute the same to completion within ninety (90) days after Tenant receives written notice thereof.
 
(3)  Tenant abandons or vacates the Premises without notice and without first having paid to Landlord the amount required pursuant to Section 5(a) hereof.
 
(4)  Tenant becomes insolvent or bankrupt in any sense or makes an assignment for the benefit of 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 or similar official for any of Tenant’s assets is commenced, or if any of the real or personal property of Tenant shall be levied upon by any sheriff, marshal or constable; provided, however, that any proceeding brought by anyone other than the parties to this Lease under any bankruptcy, reorganization arrangement, insolvency, readjustment, receivership or similar law shall not constitute an event of default until such proceeding, decree, judgment or order has continued unstayed for more than sixty (60) consecutive days.

 
34

 
 
(5)  Any of the events enumerated in Subsections (a)(3) of this Section 28 happen to the Guarantor of this Lease or any default beyond applicable notice and cure periods occurs with respect to the Guaranty.
 
b)  Remedies.  Upon the occurrence of an event of default under this Lease, Landlord shall have all of the following rights:
 
(i)           Landlord may accelerate the whole or any part of the Fixed Basic Rent and all Additional Rent for the entire unexpired balance of the Term, as well as all other charges, payments, costs and expenses herein agreed to be paid by Tenant, and, as further clarification for the avoidance of doubt, any Fixed Basic Rent or other charges, payments, costs and expenses so accelerated shall, in addition to any and all installments of rent already due and payable and in arrears and any other charge or payment herein reserved, included or agreed to be treated or collected as rent and any other charge, expense or cost herein agreed to be paid by Tenant which may be due and payable and in arrears, be deemed due and payable as if, by the terms and provisions of this Lease, such accelerated rent and other charges, payments, costs and expenses were on that date payable in advance.
 
(ii)           Landlord may re-enter the Premises and, at the option of Landlord, remove all persons and all or any property therefrom, either by summary dispossess proceedings or by any suitable action or proceeding at law or by force or otherwise, without being liable for prosecution or damages therefor, and Landlord may repossess and enjoy the Premises.  Upon recovering possession of the Premises by reason of or based upon or arising out of a default on the part of Tenant, Landlord may, at Landlord’s option, either terminate this Lease or make such alterations and repairs as may be necessary in order to relet the Premises and may relet the Premises or any part or parts thereof in Landlord’s name for a term or terms which may, at Landlord’s option, be less than or exceed the period which would otherwise have constituted the balance of the Term and at such rent or rents and upon such other terms and conditions as in Landlord’s sole discretion may seem advisable and to such person or persons as may in Landlord’s discretion seem best; upon each such reletting all rents received by Landlord from such reletting shall be applied as follows: first, to the payment of any costs and expenses of such reletting, including all costs of alterations and repairs; second, to the payment of any indebtedness other than Fixed Basic Rent, Additional Rent or other charges due hereunder from Tenant to Landlord; third, to the payment of Fixed Basic Rent, Additional Rent and other charges due and unpaid hereunder; and the residue, if any, shall be held by Landlord and applied in payment of future rent as it may become due and payable hereunder.  If rentals received from reletting during any month are less than that to be paid during that month by Tenant, Tenant shall pay any such deficiency to Landlord.  Such deficiency shall be calculated and paid monthly.  No such re-entry or taking possession of the Premises or the making of alterations or improvements thereto or the reletting thereof shall be construed as an election on the part of Landlord to terminate this Lease unless written notice of termination is given to Tenant.  Landlord shall in no event be liable in any way whatsoever for failure to relet the Premises or, in the event that the Premises or any part or parts thereof are relet, for failure to collect the rent thereof under such reletting.  Notwithstanding any such reletting without termination, Landlord may at any time thereafter elect to terminate this Lease for such previous breach.

 
35

 
 
(iii)           Landlord may terminate this Lease and the Term without any right on the part of Tenant to waive the forfeiture by payment of any sum due or by other performance of any condition, term or covenant broken.  Upon such termination, Landlord shall be entitled to recover, in addition to any and all sums and damages for violation of Tenant’s obligations hereunder in existence at the time of such termination, damages for Tenant’s default in an amount equal to the amount of the Fixed Basic Rent and Additional Rent reserved for the balance of the Term, as well as all other charges, payments, costs and expenses herein agreed to be paid by Tenant all of which amount shall be immediately due and payable from Tenant to Landlord upon demand therefor.
 
(iv)           CONFESSION OF JUDGMENT FOR POSSESSION.  UPON THE OCCURRENCE OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT OR UPON THE EXPIRATION OR TERMINATION OF THE TERM OF THIS LEASE, FOR THE PURPOSE OF OBTAINING POSSESSION OF THE PREMISES, TENANT HEREBY AUTHORIZES AND EMPOWERS THE PROTHONOTARY OR ANY ATTORNEY OF ANY COURT OF RECORD IN THE COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA OR ELSEWHERE, AS ATTORNEY FOR TENANT AND ALL PERSONS CLAIMING UNDER OR THROUGH TENANT, TO APPEAR FOR AND CONFESS JUDGMENT AGAINST TENANT FOR POSSESSION OF THE PREMISES, AND AGAINST ALL PERSONS CLAIMING UNDER OR THROUGH TENANT, IN FAVOR OF LANDLORD, FOR RECOVERY BY LANDLORD OF POSSESSION THEREOF, FOR WHICH THIS AGREEMENT OR A COPY HEREOF VERIFIED BY AFFIDAVIT, SHALL BE A SUFFICIENT WARRANT; AND THEREUPON A WRIT OF POSSESSION MAY IMMEDIATELY ISSUE FOR POSSESSION OF THE PREMISES, WITHOUT ANY PRIOR WRIT OR PROCEEDING WHATSOEVER AND WITHOUT ANY STAY OF EXECUTION. IF FOR ANY REASON AFTER SUCH ACTION HAS BEEN COMMENCED THE SAME SHALL BE TERMINATED AND THE POSSESSION OF THE PREMISES REMAINS IN OR IS RESTORED TO TENANT, LANDLORD SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT UPON THE OCCURRENCE OF ANY SUBSEQUENT EVENT OF DEFAULT TO CONFESS JUDGMENT IN ONE OR MORE FURTHER ACTIONS IN THE MANNER AND FORM SET FORTH ABOVE TO RECOVER POSSESSION OF SAID PREMISES FOR SUCH SUBSEQUENT DEFAULT.  NO SUCH TERMINATION OF THIS LEASE, NOR TAKING, NOR RECOVERING POSSESSION OF THE PREMISES SHALL DEPRIVE LANDLORD OF ANY REMEDIES OR ACTION AGAINST TENANT FOR FIXED BASIC RENT, ADDITIONAL RENT OR FOR OTHER SUMS DUE HEREUNDER OR FOR DAMAGES DUE OR TO BECOME DUE FOR THE BREACH OF ANY CONDITION OR COVENANT HEREIN CONTAINED, NOR SHALL THE BRINGING OF ANY SUCH ACTION FOR RENT AND/OR OTHER SUMS DUE HEREUNDER, OR BREACH OF COVENANT OR CONDITION NOR THE RESORT TO ANY OTHER REMEDY HEREIN PROVIDED FOR THE RECOVERY OF RENT AND/OR OTHER SUMS DUE HEREUNDER OR DAMAGES FOR SUCH BREACH BE CONSTRUED AS A WAIVER OF THE RIGHT TO INSIST UPON THE FORFEITURE AND TO OBTAIN POSSESSION IN THE MANNER HEREIN PROVIDED.
 
c)  Waiver of Jury Trial.  IT IS MUTUALLY AGREED BY AND BETWEEN LANDLORD AND TENANT THAT THEY HEREBY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTER-CLAIM BROUGHT BY EITHER OF THE PARTIES HERETO AGAINST THE OTHER ON ANY MATTER WHATSOEVER ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THIS LEASE, THE RELATIONSHIP OF LANDLORD AND TENANT, TENANT’S USE OF OCCUPANCY OF THE PREMISES OR CLAIM OF INJURY OR DAMAGE.

 
36

 
 
d)  Non-Waiver.  No waiver by Landlord of any breach by Tenant of any of Tenant’s obligations, agreements or covenants herein shall be a waiver of any subsequent breach or of any other obligation, agreement or covenant, nor shall any forbearance by Landlord to seek a remedy for any event of default by Tenant be a waiver by Landlord of any rights and remedies with respect to such or any subsequent event of default.
 
e)  Rights and Remedies Cumulative.  No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to Landlord 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 or by statute. Landlord shall have a duty to mitigate its damages in the event of Tenant’s default under this Lease.

38. Corporate Tenants.  a)  Tenant hereby covenants and warrants that: Tenant is a duly formed corporation qualified to do business in the state in which the Property is located; Tenant will remain qualified to do business in said state throughout the Term and any renewals thereof; and such persons executing this Lease are duly authorized by such corporation to execute and deliver this Lease on behalf of the corporation.

(ii)           There are no judgments, orders, suits, actions, garnishments, attachments or proceedings of any nature by or before any court, commission, board or other governmental body pending, or, to the best knowledge of Landlord, threatened in writing, which involve or affect, or will involve or affect, the Premises or the validity or enforceability of this Lease or involve any risk of judgment or liability being imposed upon Landlord that could materially adversely affect the financial condition of Landlord or Landlord’s ability to observe or perform fully its agreements and obligations hereunder; and
 
(iii)           There is no existing agreement, commitment, option or right with, in or to any person to lease, or transfer the fee interest of, all or any portion of the Premises, other than the leasing of the Premises pursuant to this Lease.

39. Tenant Representations and Warranties.  Tenant hereby represents and warrants to Landlord (i) that Guarantor’s most recent publicly available financial statements are true in all material respects as of the date thereof, (ii) that if Guarantor is ever not a publicly traded entity, then, upon ninety (90) days prior written request from Landlord (which request shall not be made more than two (2) times in any one (1) calendar year), Tenant will deliver to Landlord current financial statements for Guarantor which shall be prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied, provided that Landlord and any current or prospective lender or investor of Landlord or any prospective purchaser of the Property shall first enter into a non-disclosure agreement with Tenant on the form attached hereto as Exhibit J.
 
40. Waiver of Invalidity of Lease.  Each party agrees that it will not raise or assert as a defense to any obligation under the Lease or make any claim that the Lease is invalid or unenforceable due to any failure of this document to comply with ministerial requirements including, without limitation, requirements for corporate seals, attestations, witnesses, notarizations or other similar requirements and each party hereby waives the right to assert any such defenses or make any claim of invalidity or unenforceability due to any of the foregoing.
 
41. Security Deposit.  As additional security for the full and prompt performance by Tenant of the terms and covenants of this Lease, Tenant has deposited with Landlord the Security Deposit, which shall be held in a segregated, interest bearing and federally insured account.  The Security Deposit shall not constitute rent for any month (unless so applied by Landlord on account of Tenant’s default hereunder).  Tenant shall, upon demand, restore any portion of the Security Deposit which may be applied by Landlord to cure any default by Tenant hereunder.  Tenant shall be entitled to interest thereon and Landlord shall not commingle such Security Deposit with any other funds of Landlord.  To the extent that Landlord has not applied the Security Deposit or any portion thereof on account of a default, the Security Deposit plus any applicable interest earned thereon, or such remaining portion of the Security Deposit plus any applicable interest earned thereon, shall be returned to Tenant, promptly following the termination of this Lease.  The Security Deposit shall not be considered an advance payment of rent or a measure of Landlord’s damages in case of default by Tenant.  If Tenant defaults with respect to any provision of this Lease, Landlord may, but shall not be required to, from time to time, without prejudice to any other remedy, use, apply or retain all or any part of this Security Deposit for the payment of any rent or any other sum in default or for the payment of any other amount which Landlord may spend or become obligated to spend by reason of Tenant’s default or to compensate Landlord for any other loss or damage which Landlord may suffer by reason of Tenant’s default, including, without limitation costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by Landlord to recover possession of the Premises.  In the event Landlord or any of its successors or assigns sells, assigns, or otherwise  transfers its interests in this Lease, then such party shall have the obligation to pay to or give control of the Security Deposit to its successor or assign.
 
42. Estoppel Certificate.  Tenant shall from time to time, within five (5) days after Landlord’s request or that of any Mortgagee of Landlord, execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord a certificate substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G (the “Tenant Estoppel Certificate”) provided that Tenant shall be permitted to add to such form any statements required to correct any inaccuracies in such form at the time of execution.  Any certification delivered pursuant to the provisions of this Section shall be intended to be relied upon by Landlord and any Mortgagee or prospective Mortgagee or purchaser or prospective purchaser of the Property or of any interest therein.  Tenant’s failure to furnish the Tenant Estoppel Certificate within said five (5) day period shall constitute an event of default under this Lease. Landlord shall have the right to request Tenant to execute a Tenant Estoppel Certificate no more than two (2) times in any twelve (12)-month period.

 
41

 
 
43. Rights Reserved by Landlord.  Landlord waives no rights, except those that may be specifically waived herein, and explicitly retains all other rights including, without limitation, the following rights, each of which Landlord may exercise without notice to Tenant and without liability to Tenant for damage or injury to property, person or business on account of the exercise thereof, and the exercise of any such rights shall not be deemed to constitute an eviction or disturbance of Tenant’s use or possession of the Premises and shall not give rise to any claim for set-off or abatement of Rent or any other claim:
 
a)  To change the name or street address of the Building;
 
b)  The exclusive right to use the name of the Building for all purposes, except that Tenant may use the name on its business address and for no other purpose;

e)  To furnish door keys for the entry door(s) in the Premises on the Commencement Date and to retain at all times, and to use in appropriate instances, keys to all doors into the Premises.  Tenant agrees to purchase only from Landlord additional duplicate keys as required, to change no locks on doors into the Premises, and not to affix locks on doors into the Premises without the prior written consent of Landlord.  Upon the expiration of the Term or Tenant’s right to possession, Tenant shall return all keys on doors into the Premises to Landlord and shall disclose to Landlord the combination of any safes, cabinets or vaults left in the Premises;
 
f)  To designate and approve all window coverings used in the Building;
 
g)  To approve the weight, size and location of safes, vaults and other heavy equipment and articles in and about the Premises and the Building so as not to exceed the legal load per square foot designated by the structural engineers for the Building, and to require all such items and furniture and similar items to be moved into or out of the Building and Premises only at such times, in such manner and upon such terms as Landlord shall direct in writing;
 
h)  To regulate delivery of supplies and the usage of the loading docks, receiving areas and freight elevators;

45. Additional Definitions.
 
a)  “Date of this Lease” or “date of this Lease” shall mean the Effective Date.
 
b)  “Landlord” as used in this Lease includes the Landlord named above as well as its successors and assigns, each of whom shall have the same rights, remedies, powers, authorities and privileges as it would have had it originally signed this lease as Landlord. Any such person, whether or not named herein, shall have no liability hereunder after ceasing to hold title to the Property.  Neither Landlord nor any principal of Landlord nor any owner of the Building or the Property, whether disclosed or undisclosed, shall have any personal liability with respect to any of the provisions of this Lease, the Premises or the Property, and if Landlord is in breach or default with respect to Landlord’s obligations under this Lease or otherwise, Tenant shall look solely to the equity of Landlord in the Premises and the rents, issues and profits therefrom for the satisfaction of Tenant’s remedies.  Tenant hereby agrees that Tenant’s remedies for default hereunder or in any way arising in connection with this Lease including any breach of any promise or inducement or warranty, express or implied, shall be limited to an action for direct and proximate damages and/or for specific performance or injunctive relief provided that Tenant has given any required notices and opportunities to cure.

 
44

 
 
c)  “Tenant” as used in this Lease includes the Tenant named above as well as its heirs, successors and assigns, each of which shall be under the same obligations, liabilities and disabilities and each of which shall have the same rights, privileges and powers as it would have possessed had it originally signed this Lease as Tenant.  However, no such rights, privileges or powers shall inure to the benefit of any assignee of Tenant, immediate or remote, unless the assignment to such assignee is permitted or has been approved in writing by Landlord.  Any notice required or permitted by the terms of this Lease may be given by or to any one of the persons named above as Tenant, and shall have the same force and effect as if given by or to all of them.
 
d)  “Mortgage” as used in this Lease includes any lien or encumbrance on the Premises, the Building or the Property or on any part of or interest in or appurtenance to any of the foregoing, including without limitation any ground rent or ground lease if Landlord’s interest is or becomes a leasehold estate.  The word “Mortgagee” is used herein to include the holder of any Mortgage, including any ground Landlord if Landlord’s interest is or becomes a leasehold estate.  Wherever any right is given to a Mortgagee, that right may be exercised on behalf of such Mortgagee by any representative or servicing agent of such Mortgagee.
 
e)  “Person” as used in this Lease includes a natural person, a partnership, a corporation, an association, and any other form of business association or entity.

g)  “knowledge of the Tenant” or “best knowledge of the Tenant” and each phrase having equivalent meaning (e.g. “known to the Tenant”) shall be conclusively deemed to be only the conscious awareness of facts or other information of the Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer of the Tenant, without such persons being obligated or deemed obligated to conduct or to have conducted any special investigation or inquiry into the affairs or business of the Tenant except as is reasonable given their standing as an Officer of the Tenant.  The Tenant shall not be deemed to have knowledge, actual, constructive or otherwise, of any fact, circumstance, or occurrence known (or deemed to be known) to any person other than as set forth in the preceding sentence.
 
46. Renewal Option.  Tenant is hereby granted two (2) options (each, a “Renewal Option”) to renew this Lease for one (1) additional five (5) year term for each Renewal Option (each, a “Renewal Term”) upon the following terms and conditions:
 
a)  At the time Tenant elects to exercise the Renewal Option and on the first day of the Renewal Term, an event of default shall not have occurred and be continuing (beyond all applicable cure periods) under the terms and provisions of this Lease.
 
b)  Notice of Tenant’s election to exercise the Renewal Option shall be sent to Landlord in writing at least nine (9) months but not more than twelve (12) months before the expiration of the initial Term (in the case of the first Renewal Option) or the first Renewal Term (in the case of the second Renewal Option).

 
45

 
 
c)  The first Renewal Term shall commence at the expiration of the initial Term and the second Renewal Term shall commence at the expiration of the first Renewal Term, and all of the terms and conditions of this Lease, other than the Fixed Basic Rent, shall apply during the Renewal Term, provided that no abatements or other concessions shall apply to the Renewal Term with the exception that Landlord shall be required to provide new carpet and paint for the Premises in conjunction with Tenant’s exercise of the first Renewal Option equivalent to the specifications provided for in the Premises Plans; Tenant shall have no option to renew this Lease beyond the second Renewal Term; and all leasehold improvements within the Premises shall be provided in their then existing condition (on an “As Is” basis) at the time the Renewal Term commences.
 
d)  The annual Fixed Basic Rent to be paid during the Renewal Term shall be ninety-five percent (95%) of the fair market value for the Premises (“Market Rent”) determined as set forth below at the commencement of the Renewal Term.  In determining the Market Rent, Landlord shall notify Tenant of the Market Rent as established by Landlord.  Should Tenant dispute Landlord’s determination of Market Rent, Tenant shall be free to, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, employ the services of an appraiser who is a member of MAI and who has at least five (5) years experience in appraising office buildings in the area in which the Premises is located who shall render an appraisal as to Market Rent which shall be delivered to Landlord on or prior to the date which is thirty (30) days following Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s notice with respect to Market Rent.  If Landlord and Tenant’s appraiser cannot agree on Market Rent within ten (10) days of Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s appraiser’s appraisal, Landlord shall employ, at its sole cost and expense, the services of an appraiser who is a member of MAI and who has at least five (5) years experience in appraising office buildings in the area in which the Premises is located who shall render an appraisal within thirty (30) days.  If the two appraisers cannot agree on Market Rent within twenty (20) days of delivery of the appraisal from Landlord’s appraiser, Landlord and Tenant shall mutually select an independent appraiser acceptable to both who shall be a member of MAI and who has at least five (5) years experience in appraising office buildings in the area in which the Premises is located who shall render an appraisal as to Market Rent.  If Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree upon such mutually acceptable independent appraiser within five (5) business days, either Landlord or Tenant may request the American Arbitration Association  to appoint such independent appraiser who shall be a member of MAI  and who has at least five (5) years experience in appraising office buildings in the area in which the Premises is located who shall render an appraisal as to Market Rent, and in such event the judgment of the independent appraiser shall be final and binding upon the parties.  The parties shall share equally in the cost of all such independent appraisers, provided that the independent appraisers selected by Tenant and Landlord shall be at commercially reasonable rates.  Pending resolution of the issue of Market Rent, Tenant shall pay Landlord as of commencement of the Renewal Term, the Market Rent as established by Landlord, subject to retroactive adjustment upon final determination of this issue.  In no event shall the Fixed Basic Rent to be paid during the Renewal Term be less than that paid for the Premises during the last year of the Term, provided that if the independent appraiser determines that the Fixed Basic Rent during the last year of the Term is in excess of the Market Rent, Tenant shall be permitted to withdraw its exercise of the Renewal Option.
 
e)  In the event an assignee of Tenant exercises the Renewal Option(s) set forth herein, Tenant shall remain liable under the Lease for all of the obligations of the tenant hereunder during such Renewal Term, whether or not Tenant has consented to or is notified of such renewal and Landlord shall have no obligation to obtain the consent of Tenant or to notify Tenant of such renewal.

 
46

 
 
47. Anti-Terrorism Provisions.
 
a)   Tenant is not, and shall not during the Term of the Lease become, a person or entity with whom Landlord is restricted from doing business under the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001, H.R. 3162, Public Law 107-56 (commonly known as the “USA Patriot Act”) and Executive Order Number 13224 on Terrorism Financing, effective September 24, 2001 and regulations promulgated pursuant thereto (collectively, “Anti-Terrorism Laws”), including without limitation persons and entities named on the Office of Foreign Asset Control Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List (collectively, “Prohibited Persons”).
 
b)   To the best of its knowledge, Tenant is not currently engaged in any transactions or dealings, or otherwise associated with, any Prohibited Persons in connection with the use or occupancy of the Premises, the Building or the Property.  Tenant will not, during the Term of this Lease, engage in any transactions or dealings, or be otherwise associated with, any Prohibited Persons in connection with the use or occupancy of the Premises, the Building or the Property.
 
c)   Tenant’s breach of any representation or covenant set forth in this Section shall constitute a default of this Lease by Tenant, entitling Landlord to any and all remedies hereunder, or at law or in equity.
 
48.ERISA. It is understood that from time to time during the Lease Term, Landlord may be subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”) and as a result may be prohibited by law from engaging in certain transactions. Tenant represents and warrants after due inquiry that at the time this Lease is entered into and at any time thereafter when its terms are amended or modified, neither Tenant nor its “affiliates” (as defined in Part V (c) of Prohibited Transaction Exemption 84-14 (“PTE 84-14”), as amended) has the authority to appoint or terminate The Prudential Insurance Company of America (“Prudential”) as an investment manager of the Prudential separate account Western Conference of Teamsters, nor the authority to negotiate the terms of any management agreement between Prudential and the Western Conference of Teamsters.  Further, Tenant is not “related” to Prudential within the meaning of Part V(h) of PTE 84-14.

49.TENANT WAIVER.  SECTION 29(b) HEREOF SETS FORTH A WARRANT OR AUTHORITY FOR AS ATTORNEY TO CONFESS JUDGMENT AGAINST TENANT. IN GRANTING THIS WARRANT OF ATTORNEY TO CONFESS JUDGMENT AGAINST TENANT, TENANT HEREBY KNOWINGLY, INTENTIONALLY AND VOLUNTARILY, AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TENANT HAS OR MAY HAVE TO PRIOR NOTICE AND AN OPPORTUNITY FOR HEARING UNDER THE CONSTITUTIONS AND LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES AND THE COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA. TENANT FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (A) LANDLORD ADVISED TENANT TO OBTAIN THE ADVICE OF COUNSEL WITH RESPECT TO SECTION 29(b) HEREOF AND (B) TENANT IS A COMMERCIALLY SOPHISTICATED PARTY CAPABLE OF OBTAINING SUCH COUNSEL WHO DECIDED NOT TO OBTAIN THE SAME.

 
47

 
 
50. Early Termination.  Tenant shall have a one-time right to terminate this Lease with respect to the entire Premises only (the “Termination Option”) effective as of the last day of the sixty-fifth (65th) full calendar month of the Term (the “Accelerated Termination Date”) if:
 
a)   Tenant is not in default under this Lease (beyond applicable notice and cure periods) as of the date Tenant provides Landlord with a Termination Notice (hereinafter defined); and
 
b)   This Lease has not been assigned other than to a Permitted Transferee; and
 
c)   Landlord receives written notice of termination not less than six (6) months prior to the Accelerated Termination Date (the “Termination Notice”); and
 
d)   Tenant has not exercised the ROFO prior to delivery of the Termination Notice.
 
In the event Tenant exercises the foregoing right to terminate, Tenant shall pay to Landlord an amount equal to (a) the amount of unamortized broker commissions paid by Landlord (amortized over a seven 7 year period beginning on the five (5) month anniversary of the Commencement Date at the Interest Rate in effect on the date of Tenant’s delivery of the Termination Notice), plus (b) the unamortized amount of tenant improvement costs and expenses expended by Landlord pursuant to the Work Letter (the “Work Letter Costs”) (amortized over a seven 7 year period beginning on the five (5) month anniversary of the Commencement Date at the Interest Rate in effect on the date of Tenant’s delivery of the Termination Notice) ((a) and (b) collectively, the “Early Termination Fee”), as a fee in connection with such early termination and not a penalty.  After Landlord’s receipt of the Termination Notice, Landlord shall provide Tenant with an invoice for the Early Termination Fee, and Tenant shall pay Landlord such Early Termination Fee within thirty (30) days of its receipt of such invoice from Landlord or the Termination Notice shall be deemed null and void.  A sample calculation of the Early Termination Fee is attached hereto as Exhibit P for illustrative purposes only.
 
In the event Landlord and Tenant enter into another lease agreement covering space in a building owned by Landlord other than the Building covering space containing more rentable square feet than then existing in the Premises on terms and conditions acceptable to Landlord and Tenant in each party’s sole and absolute discretion, and Landlord and Tenant agree to terminate this Lease in connection with such new lease (which agreement either party may withhold in its sole and absolute discretion), then Tenant shall not be required to pay the Termination Fee in connection with such termination of this Lease.
 
Within thirty (30) days after the Commencement Date, Landlord shall provide Tenant with a written statement of Landlord’s Work Letter Costs.

 
48

 
 
51. Tenant’s Right of First Offer.
 
a)   Tenant shall have a right of first offer (“ROFO”) to lease any additional space (“Additional Space”) on the first (1st) or second (2nd) floor level of the office portion of the Building at any time after Landlord has determined that an existing tenant in the Additional Space will not extend or renew the term of its lease or will otherwise vacate the Additional Space (but prior to leasing such Additional Space to a party other than the existing tenant) subject to the rights of any other tenants of the Building pursuant to leases executed prior to the date hereof and provided that Tenant is not in default hereunder (beyond applicable notice and cure periods) at the time a Tenant’s ROFO arises or at the time Tenant elects to accept a proposed ROFO.  Further, if the Additional Space has not been previously occupied by any tenant, Landlord shall also be required to provide Tenant with a notice of the availability of such space.  In the event such Additional Space becomes available during the Term, Landlord shall provide notice (“Notice of Availability”) to Tenant that such Additional Space is available and the terms upon which Landlord is willing to lease such space to Tenant and Tenant shall have fifteen (15) business days in order to notify Landlord that it elects to exercise its rights hereunder and expand the Premises to include all of the Additional Space offered.  Tenant may not exercise a ROFO with respect to only a portion of the Additional Space.  Except as otherwise set forth in this Section 51, the terms offered to Tenant with respect to such Additional Space shall be the same terms and conditions offered under this Lease except that: (i) any free rent or reduced rent obligations provided for in this Lease shall not apply to the Additional Space; (ii) Landlord shall provide Tenant with a build out of the Additional Space, at Landlord’s cost and expense, similar in scope and cost to the Space Plan and Premises Plan (each as defined in Exhibit C of this Lease); and (iii) the Fixed Basic Rent for the Additional Space shall be the rental rate provided in the Notice of Availability.  Except as otherwise provided in this Section 51, the Term of such Additional Space shall be coterminous with the Term under this Lease.
 
b)   If Tenant elects not to expand into such Additional Space or fails to accept or reject such Additional Space within the fifteen (15) business day period, then Landlord may proceed to lease such space to any third party. However, Landlord shall be obligated to give Tenant another opportunity to lease the Additional Space on the same terms and conditions as such proposed third party lease (including the term and expiration date of such third party lease) before leasing it to a third party if: (a) Landlord intends to enter into a lease with a third party at terms fifteen percent (15%) or less than the Fixed Basic Rent proposed to Tenant in the applicable Notice of Availability (equitably adjusted, if necessary, to account for the costs to build out the Additional Space in accordance with Section 51(a)(ii) hereof) or (b) Landlord intends to enter into a lease with a third party with overall economic terms equal to or better than any counter-offer which Tenant may have made to Landlord in writing in response to the applicable Notice of Availability. If Landlord is obligated to give Tenant such additional opportunity to lease the Additional Space, then Landlord shall give Tenant written notice thereof, and Tenant shall have ten (10) business days from receipt of such notice to accept or reject such opportunity or Tenant shall be deemed to have rejected such opportunity.  If Tenant does not exercise its right to lease the Additional Space and Landlord leases the Additional Space to a third-party tenant, then Tenant’s ROFO with respect to the Additional Space shall lapse on that occasion but shall be effective again if the Additional Space again becomes available for leasing later in the Term.
 
In any case, if Tenant accepts the Additional Space, the parties shall promptly enter into an amendment to this Lease reflecting the terms offered to Tenant with respect to such Additional Space described above; provided that an otherwise valid exercise of the ROFO shall be fully effective whether or not such amendment is executed .  If there are two (2) years or less remaining in the Term when Tenant exercises its right to lease the Additional Space, but the Renewal Option has not yet been exercised, then in any event where the lease of the Additional Space will be coterminious with the Term under this Lease, Tenant must simultaneously exercise the Renewal Option as set forth in Section 46 hereof (and such exercise shall be permitted, even though it may come more than twelve (12) months prior to the expiration of the initial Term); and (b) if there are two (2) years or less remaining in the then-exercised Renewal Term when Tenant exercises its right to lease the Additional Space, then Tenant shall be required to extend the then-current Term of this Lease so that this Lease will remain in force for at least five (5) years following the date of Tenant’s leasing of the Additional Space.  Landlord will have no liability to Tenant if any tenant of the Additional Space wrongfully holds over.  In the event such tenant wrongfully holds over, Landlord will attempt in good faith to cause such tenant to vacate the Additional Space.
