If, during the Term of this Lease or any extension thereto, the Premises is damaged by fire or any other casualty, including, without limitation, natural disaster, and not occurring through the intentional or negligent acts or omissions of Tenant or those claiming under Tenant, or their employees respectively, Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord and Landlord shall repair the damaged portions of the Premises, including any improvements or alterations made by Landlord (but not any of Tenant's property therein or improvements or alterations made by Tenant). If, however, in Landlord's reasonable judgment, the damage would require more than 240 days (120 if not specified) of work to repair, or if the insurance proceeds (excluding rent insurance) that Landlord anticipates receiving must be applied to repay any mortgages encumbering the improvements, or are otherwise inadequate to pay the costs of such repair, Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease by so notifying Tenant. Such notice shall specify a termination date not less than 90 days (30 if not specified) after its receipt by Tenant.
|
|
(B)
|
If the damage to the Premises is only partial and such that the Premises can be restored to its former condition within a reasonable time, Landlord may enter and repair, and this Lease shall not be affected, except that Base Rent shall be apportioned and suspended while such repairs are being made. If the Premises is so slightly damaged by fire or other casualty as mentioned above so as not to render the Premises unfit for occupancy, Landlord agrees the same shall be promptly repaired.
|
|
(C)
|
Landlord shall not be liable for any damage, compensation or claim by reason of inconvenience or annoyance from the necessity of repairing any portion of the Premises, or improvements thereon, the interruption and the use of the Premises, or the termination of this Lease by reason of the destruction of the Premises.
|
|
21.
|
FORCE MAJEURE
|
If either Party should be delayed or hindered, or prevented from performing any of the acts required in this Lease by reason of war, fire or other casualty, acts of terrorism, natural or environmental disasters, strike, walk-out, labor trouble, shortage of materials or equipment, or the inability to procure the same, failure of power, restrictive government laws or regulations, riot, insurrection, declaration of martial law, or other causes beyond the reasonable control of the party delayed, the performance of such act shall be excused for the period of such delay. This Paragraph shall not excuse Tenant, after the Commencement Date, from a timely payment of Rent or any other amounts required under this Lease.
|
22.
|
CONDEMNATION/EMINENT DOMAIN
|
|
(A)
|
In an instance of total condemnation, where all of the property is taken through an exercise of the power of eminent domain, this Lease shall terminate on the date when possession of the property was acquired by the condemning authority. The right to terminate this Lease under this Paragraph may be exercised by either party so notifying the other party in writing not later than days (30 if not specified) prior to such date.
|
|
(B)
|
In an instance of partial condemnation, Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease on the date when the condemned portion of the Premises is to be delivered to the condemning authority and neither party shall have any further responsibility or liability under this Lease or to the other where only part of the Premises is taken and:
|
|
1.
|
The condemnation award is insufficient to restore the remaining portion of the Premises, or if such award must be applied to repay any mortgages encumbering improvements on the property, OR
|
|
2.
|
In addition to a portion of the Premises, a portion of the improvements or land is taken and Landlord deems it commercially unreasonable to continue leasing all or a portion of the remaining space and the improvements.
|
|
(C)
|
In an instance of partial condemnation, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease on the date when the condemned portion of the Premises is to be delivered to the condemning authority and neither party shall have any further responsibility or liability under this Lease or to the other where a substantial portion of the Premises is so taken and it is commercially impossible for Tenant to continue its business within the Premises.
|
|
(D)
|
If this Lease is not terminated after a partial condemnation, then after the date when the condemned portion of the Premises is delivered to the condemning authority, the Rent shall be reduced in the proportion that the condemned area bears to the entire area of the Premises.
|
|
|
(E)
|
Tenant shall have the right to claim against the condemning authority only for removal and moving expenses and business relocation damages that may be separately payable to Tenant in general under Pennsylvania law, provided such payment does not reduce the award otherwise payable to Landlord. Subject to the foregoing, Tenant hereby waives all claims against Landlord with respect to a condemnation, and hereby assigns to Landlord all claims against the condemning authority including, without limitation, all claims for leasehold damages and diminution in value of Tenant's leasehold estate.
|
|
23.
|
SUBORDINATION, NON-DISTURBANCE AND ATTORNMENT; ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES
|
|
(A)
|
This Lease shall be subject and subordinate at all times to the lien of any mortgages and other encumbrances now or hereafter placed upon the Premises or property. Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord upon demand an instrument acceptable to Landlord subordinating this Lease to the lien of any present or future mortgage or encumbrance as may be requested by any mortgagee of the property. At the request of any holder of any such mortgage, or the purchase of such mortgage at any foreclosure sale, or at any sale under a power of sale contained in such mortgage, Tenant shall attorn to and recognize such mortgagee or purchaser as Landlord under this Lease for the balance of the Term, including any renewal or extensions hereof subject to all the terms of this Lease. Provided that Tenant is not in default of this Lease, its tenancy shall not be disturbed by Landlord, but shall continue in full force and effect. Xxxxxxxx agrees to use reasonable efforts, but shall not be obligated to obtain from any future mortgagee a non-disturbance agreement for the benefit of Tenant on a form customarily issued by such mortgagee
|
|
(B)
|
Tenant shall, from time-to-time, execute and deliver within _______________________ days (5 if not specified) following receipt of a request from Landlord or Landlord's mortgagee, grantee or lessor, a recordable instrument evidencing such subordination and Tenant's agreement to attorn to the holder of such prior right. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any mortgagee may, at any time, subordinate its mortgage to this Lease, without Xxxxxx's consent, but with notice in writing to Tenant, whereupon this Lease shall be deemed prior to such mortgage without regard to their respective dates. The term "mortgage" includes mortgages, deeds of trust, or similar instruments, and all modifications, consolidations, extensions, renewals or replacements hereof, or substitutes therefor.
|
|
(C)
|
On or before the date Tenant first takes possession of the Premises, Xxxxxx agrees to execute and cause all guarantors to execute, a tenant acceptance certificate and an estoppel letter in such form as Landlord may reasonably request.

|
|
25.

NOTICE OF DEFAULT
|
|
(A)
|
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, and except in connection with the provisions of Paragraph 24(A)(2), (4), (5), (6), (7), or (8) for which no notice or cure period shall be given or permitted, if Tenant has failed or refused to perform, or has violated any of the non-monetary terms, covenants, conditions or agreements contained in this Lease, Landlord shall so notify Tenant in writing.

|
|
26.
|
WAIVER OF NOTICE
|
Tenant hereby waives all rights to legal notice, whether provided by statute or common law, and agrees that prior written notice delivered as provided herein with respect to proceedings to recover possession in the event of default, at any time shall be sufficient.
|
27.
|
RIGHT TO CURE
|
If Tenant shall default in performing any of its obligations under this Lease, Landlord may (but shall not be obligated), in addition to Landlord's other rights and remedies, and without waiver of such default, cure such default on behalf of Tenant, thereby entering and possessing the Premises if deemed necessary by Xxxxxxxx, provided that Landlord shall have first given Tenant notice of such default and Tenant shall have failed within _________________ days (30 if not specified) following receipt of said notice to cure or diligently pursue the cure of said default (which notice and opportunity to cure shall not be required in case of actual emergency). Tenant, upon demand of Landlord, shall reimburse Landlord for all actual costs (including reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred by Landlord with respect to such default and, if Landlord so elects, Landlord's efforts to cure the same.
|
28.
|
ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION
|
|
(A)
|
Landlord and Xxxxxx agree to cooperate by supporting and fully participating in all efforts to resolve disputes, complaints, claims and other problems that arise or are related to this Lease through mediation and, if not successfully resolved, then through binding arbitration in accordance with the principles of the Uniform Arbitration Act, 42 Pa.C.S.A. §7301, et seq., and other related laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The parties make the foregoing commitment with full knowledge that by agreeing to submit disputes to binding arbitration, the parties are agreeing not to resort to the courts or the judicial system, and are waiving their rights to do so.
|
|
(B)
|
When submitting a dispute to a mediator, the parties shall agree upon one mediator from a list of mediators available through the local court or local Federal district court or through such other agency as the parties may mutually agree. The parties agree to share all expenses of mediation equally.
|
|
(C)
|
Should the parties not be able to resolve their dispute through mediation, each party will voluntarily submit to binding arbitration and shall appoint their own arbitrator. These arbitrators shall select a mutual third arbitrator, thus forming an "Arbitration Panel" that will then proceed to schedule the matter for disposition. In the event that the individual arbitrators are unable to agree on a neutral arbitrator, either party shall have the right to petition the local Court of Common Pleas to appoint a neutral arbitrator. In order to initiate the binding arbitration process, either party will submit a written request for arbitration to the other party, within a reasonable time following the unsuccessful mediation of their dispute. If the parties are unable to agree upon a location for arbitration, then the arbitration will be held at the local courthouse.

CONFESSION OF JUDGMENT/EJECTMENT - IN THE EVENT THAT, AND WHEN THIS LEASE SHALL BE DETERMINED BY TERM, COVENANT, LIMITATION OR CONDITION BROKEN AS AFORESAID, DURING THE LEASE TERM, AND ALSO WHEN AND AS SOON AS THE LEASE TERM HEREBY CREATED SHALL HAVE EXPIRED, IT SHALL BE LAWFUL FOR ANY ATTORNEY, AS ATTORNEY FOR LANDLORD, TO CONFESS JUDGMENT AND EJECTMENT IN ANY COMPETENT COURT AGAINST TENANT AND ALL PERSONS CLAIMING UNDER TENANT FOR THE RECOVERY BY LANDLORD OF POSSESSION OF THE PREMISES, WITHOUT ANY LIABILITY ON THE PART OF THE SAID ATTORNEY, FOR WHICH THIS LEASE SHALL BE A SUFFICIENT WARRANT. WHEREUPON, IF LANDLORD SO DESIRES, A WRIT OF POSSESSION WITH CLAUSES FOR COSTS MAY ISSUE FORTHWITH, WITH OR WITHOUT ANY PRIOR WRIT OR PROCEEDING WHATSOEVER. IF FOR ANY REASON AFTER SUCH ACTION HAS BEEN COMMENCED, THE SAME SHALL BE DETERMINED AND THE POSSESSION OF THE PREMISES REMAINS IN OR RESTORES TO TENANT, LANDLORD SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT IN THE EVENT OF ANY SUBSEQUENT DEFAULTS TO CONFESS JUDGMENT IN EJECTMENT AGAINST TENANT IN THE MANNER AND FORM HEREIN AND BEFORE SET FORTH, TO RECOVER POSSESSION OF THE PREMISES FOR SUCH SUBSEQUENT DEFAULT. NO SUCH DETERMINATION OF THIS LEASE NOR RECOVERING POSSESSION OF THE PREMISES SHALL DEPRIVE LANDLORD OF ANY REMEDIES OR ACTION AGAINST TENANT FOR RENT OR FOR DAMAGES DUE OR TO BECOME DUE FOR THE BREACH OF ANY CONDITION OR COVENANT; NOR THE RESORTS TO ANY WAIVER OF THE RIGHT TO INSIST UPON THE FORFEITURE, AND TO OBTAIN POSSESSION IN THE MANNER PROVIDED HEREIN.

(B)

AFFIDAVIT REQUIRED - IN ANY ACTION IN EJECTMENT, LANDLORD SHALL FIRST CAUSE TO BE FILED IN SUCH ACTION AN AFFIDAVIT MADE BY IT OR SOMEONE ACTING FOR IT, SETTING FORTH THE FACTS NECESSARY TO AUTHORIZE THE ENTRY OF JUDGMENT OF WHICH FACTS SUCH AFFIDAVIT SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE; AND IF A TRUE COPY OF THIS LEASE IS FILED IN SUCH ACTION, IT SHALL NOT BE NECESSARY TO FILE THE ORIGINAL AS A WARRANT OF ATTORNEY, ANY RULE OF COURT, CUSTOM OR PRACTICE TO THE CONTRARY NOTWITHSTANDING.
|
|
(C)
|
Xxxxxx releases Landlord and to any and all who appear for Landlord, from all procedural errors in said proceedings.

|
|
(D)
|
No act or forbearance by Landlord shall be deemed a waiver or election of any right or remedy by Landlord with respect to Tenant's obligations hereunder, unless and to the extent that Landlord shall execute and deliver to Tenant a written instrument to such effect, and any such written waiver by Landlord shall not constitute a waiver or relinquishment for the future of any obligation of Tenant. Xxxxxxxx's acceptance of any payment from Tenant (regardless of any endorsement on any check or writing accompanying such payment) may be applied by Landlord to Tenant's obligations then due hereunder in any priority as Landlord may elect, and such acceptance by Landlord shall not operate as an accord and satisfaction, or constitute a waiver of any right or remedy of Landlord with respect to Tenant's obligations hereunder. All remedies provided to Landlord herein shall be cumulative.
|
|
30.
|
PAYMENT OF TENANT'S OBLIGATIONS BY LANDLORD
|
All terms, covenants, agreements and conditions to be performed by Tenant under this Lease shall be performed by Tenant at Tenant's sole cost and expense.

|
HOLDING OVER
|

(A)
|
This Lease shall expire absolutely and without notice on the last day of the Term or any renewal thereof.

Such holdover tenancy may be terminated by Landlord or Tenant upon _______ days (30 if not specified) written notice by either party to the other party.
|
|
(B)

Such payments for unlawful retention shall not limit any rights or remedies of Landlord resulting by reason of the wrongful holding over by Xxxxxx, nor shall such unlawful retention create any right of Tenant to continue in possession of the Premises. All other terms and provisions of this Lease then in effect shall remain in effect.
|
|
33.
|
PRESERVATION OF LANDLORD'S ENFORCEMENT RIGHTS
|
Xxxxxxxx's acceptance of Rent or any amount due and owing, or failure to enforce any right under this Lease shall not waive any other rights that Landlord may have hereunder.

|
|
(B)
|
Liability of Landlord under this Lease shall be limited to its interest in Landlord's property, and any judgment against Landlord shall be satisfied solely out of the proceeds of the sale of its interest in the property, and any judgment so rendered shall not give rise to any right of execution or levy against any of Landlord's other assets.
|
|
(C)
|
Landlord shall have no personal liability to any successor in interest with respect to any of the provisions of this Lease or any obligation arising from this Lease. Tenant shall look solely to the equity of the then-owner of the property for satisfaction of remedies by Xxxxxx in the event of a breach by Landlord of any of its covenants, agreements or obligations hereunder.
