d. Payment. Subtenant, without notice (except for Additional Rent), demand, deduction or set-off whatsoever, shall make payments of Rent to CardConnect at such place as CardConnect may direct in writing. Initially, Rent payments shall be sent to CardConnect at the address set forth above at the beginning of this Sublease. If any installment of Rent is not paid with five (5) days of the date due thereof, CardConnect may charge interest in the same amount, manner and terms as is set forth in Section 9 of the Prime Lease.

The Security Deposit shall in no way be construed to represent prepayment of Base Rent for the last month or months of the Term. If Subtenant defaults with respect to any provision of this Sublease, CardConnect may use, apply or retain all or any part of the Security Deposit for payment of the Base Rent or any other sum in default or for the payment of any other amount which CardConnect may spend or become obligated to spend by reason of Subtenant’s default.

ii. “Tax Year” shall mean each calendar year, or such other period of twelve (12) months as now or hereafter may be duly adopted as the fiscal year for real estate tax purposes of the governmental unit in which the Property is located, occurring during the Term.
iii. “Tax Statement” shall mean a statement provided by Landlord, setting forth in reasonable detail: (a) the Real Estate Taxes for the Tax Year(s) (or portion thereof if less than full Tax Year(s) immediately preceding the Tax Year in which such statement is issued, (b) Tenant’s Tax Payment (defined in Section 7(b)) for such preceding Tax Year(s), prorated if only a part of a Tax Year falls within the Term; (c) the amount of payments made by Tenant on account of Tenant’s Tax Payment during such preceding Tax Year(s); (d) the amount of payments of the Monthly Tax Payment Estimate (defined in Section 7(b)(i)(1)) made to date by Tenant in the Tax Year in which the Tax Statement is issued; and (e) the Monthly Tax Payment Estimate for the Tax Year in which the Tax Statement is issued.
b. Payment of Tenant’s Tax Payment.

Tenant shall only be responsible for Real Estate Taxes imposed for Tax Years during the Term of this Lease and any extensions, renewals, and hold-over periods hereof.

i. Such Tenant’s Tax Payment shall be paid in the following manner:
(1) Beginning on January 1, 2013, and continuing thereafter during each Tax Year during the Term on the first day of each month until receipt of the next Tax Statement, Tenant will pay Landlord an amount set by Landlord sufficient to pay Landlord’s estimate (reasonably based on the actual Real Estate Taxes for the preceding Tax Years (but subject to the provision of Section 7(b)(ii) below) and Landlord’s projections of any anticipated increases or decreases thereof) of
Tenant’s Tax Payment for the current Tax Year (or remaining portion thereof) (the “Monthly Tax Payment Estimate”). The Monthly Tax Payment Estimate for a period less than a full calendar month shall be duly prorated.

(4) If on any Tax Expense Share Date Tenant’s payments of the installments of the Monthly Tax Payment Estimate for the preceding year’s Real Estate Taxes are greater than Tenant’s Tax Payment for such preceding Tax Year, Landlord shall credit Tenant with any excess, which credit may be offset by Tenant against next due installments of Rent. If the Term expires prior to the Tax Expense Share Date for the applicable Tax Year and if Tenant’s payments of Monthly Tax Payment Estimate either exceed or are less than Tenant’s Tax Payment, Landlord shall send the Tax Statement to Tenant, and an appropriate payment from Tenant to Landlord or refund from Landlord to Tenant shall be made on the Tax Expense Share Date. The provisions of this Section 7(b)(i)(4) shall remain in effect notwithstanding any termination of this Lease; provided however, that if upon termination of this Lease Tenant owes Landlord any sums under this Lease (for Rent or otherwise), Landlord shall have the right to reduce the amount of any refund due Tenant under this Section 7(b)(i)(4) against such sums owed by Tenant to Landlord.
ii. Real Estate Taxes with respect to a Tax Year which is the subject of an appeal filed by or on behalf of Landlord shall be paid on the basis of the amount reflected in the tax xxxx and shall not be adjusted until the final determination of the appeal. Upon such determination of any appeal, Landlord will notify Tenant in writing of the actual amount of Tenant’s Tax Share of the Real Estate Taxes for the year or years which were the subject of the appeal and the amount, if any, remaining due by Tenant in excess of Tenant’s estimated payments. Tenant shall pay such entire amount so due within thirty (30) days after receipt of Landlord’s notice. If the final determination of the appeal results in a reduction of the Real Estate Taxes at issue and Landlord receives a cash refund from the taxing authority on account of overpayment of Real Estate Taxes for such year, Tenant shall receive a credit against the installment of Fixed Basic Rent next coming due in the amount by which Tenant’s payments on account of Tenant’s Tax Share of such Real Estate Taxes exceeded the payments actually due for the applicable year, or if this Lease is terminated or expired, Landlord shall pay the excess payment made by Tenant within thirty (30) days of Landlord’s actual receipt of such cash refund.
iii. Any Tax Statement or other notice from Landlord pursuant to this Section 7(b) shall be deemed approved by Tenant as correct unless within sixty (60) days after the furnishing thereof, Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing that it disputes the correctness of the Tax Statement or other notice, specifying in detail the basis for such assertion. Pending the resolution of such dispute, however, Tenant shall make payments in accordance with said Tax Statement or other notice. Within the foregoing sixty (60) day period, Landlord shall make its records relating to the Real Estate Taxes and to the calculation of Tenant’s Proportionate Share thereof for the applicable Tax Year available for Tenant’s inspection at Landlord’s principal place of business or at another place reasonably designated by Landlord during normal business hours upon at least three (3) business days prior written request from Tenant to Landlord or its manager.

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, Landlord shall furnish Tenant an Operating Expense Statement setting forth the information described in Section 8(a)(ii) above. Within thirty (30) days following the receipt of such Operating Expense Statement (the “Expense Share Date”) Tenant shall pay to Landlord: (i) the amount by which the Tenant’s Expense Payment for the Operating Year (or portion thereof) covered by the Operating Expense Statement exceeds the aggregate of Monthly Operating Expense Estimates paid by Tenant with respect to such Operating Year (or portion thereof); and (ii) 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) exceeds 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. Landlord shall diligently endeavor to furnish Tenant an Operating Expense Statement not later than one hundred and twenty (120) 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.
(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 the Term expires prior to the Expense Share Date for the applicable Operating Year and if Tenant’s payments of Monthly Operating Expense Estimate either exceed or are less than Tenant’s Expense Payment, Landlord shall send the Operating Expense Statement to Tenant no later than one hundred eighty (180) days following the end of an Operating Year, and an appropriate payment from Tenant to Landlord or refund from Landlord to Tenant shall be made on the Expense Share Date. The provisions of this Section 8(b)(i)(4) shall remain in effect notwithstanding any termination of this Lease; provided however, that if upon termination of this Lease Tenant owes Landlord any sums under this Lease (for Rent or otherwise), Landlord shall have the right to reduce the amount of any refund due to Tenant under this Section 8(b)(i)(4) against such sums owed by Tenant to Landlord.
c. Cam Cap. Notwithstanding any provision of this Lease to the contrary, for the calendar year commencing on January 1, 2013 and each year thereafter during the Term, Controllable Operating Expenses charged as part of Operating Expenses for any calendar year shall be subject to and limited by a cap (the “Cam Cap”), which cap shall equal the aggregate amount of all Controllable Operating Expenses that were charged as part of Operating Expenses for the prior calendar year or with respect to the Base Year were included in the determination of Operating Expenses for the Base Year, as increased by four percent (4%).
d. Tenant’s Audit Rights. Tenant shall have the right, at its expense (except as expressly set forth below), to have its “Representatives” (hereinafter defined) during normal business hours at any time within ninety (90) days following the furnishing to Tenant of the annual Operating Expense Statement, to audit Landlord’s accounting records relative to such Operating Expense Statement and applicable to the Operating Yea set forth in such Operating Expense Statement, but not with respect to prior Operating Years. If Tenant elects to so audit Landlord’s accounting records, then, unless Tenant shall take written exception to any item of Operating Expenses specifying in detail the reasons for such exception as to a particular item within ninety (90) days after Tenant’s receipt of such annual Operating Expense Statement, the Operating Expense Statement shall be considered as final and accepted by Tenant. For purposes hereof, the term “Representatives” shall mean either a nationally recognized independent certified public accounting firm licensed to do business in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, or another public accounting firm (or a firm who appoints a certified public accountant to handle the matter) reasonably acceptable to Landlord. Tenant shall not retain its Representatives on a contingent fee basis. Tenant and its Representative shall, at Landlord’s request, execute a reasonable confidentiality agreement in favor of Landlord prior to any such examination or audit hereunder. In the event any such audit determines that the Operating Expense Statement overstated the amount(s) payable by Tenant attributable to Operating Expenses from the actual amount so required hereunder for any calendar year by an amount in excess of five percent (5%), Landlord shall be responsible for the payment of reasonable and actual audit fees incurred by Tenant under this provision within thirty (30) days following receipt of invoice and reasonable backup documentation therefor; otherwise, Tenant shall be responsible for all such fees. Notwithstanding any exception made by Tenant, Tenant shall pay Landlord the full amount of the Operating Expenses set forth in the applicable Operating Expense Statement, subject to readjustment at such time as any such exception may be resolved (i.e., either by agreement of Landlord or by final determination of a court of competent jurisdiction) in favor of Tenant. Landlord’s books and records related to Operating Expenses and the calculation thereof shall be available for review by Tenant and/or Tenant’s Representatives at all reasonable times during normal business hours within the foregoing 90-day period, upon Tenant’s reasonable prior request therefor to Landlord.
9. Late Charge. Landlord may charge a late payment charge of three percent (3%) of any installment of Fixed Basic Rent or Additional Rent that is not paid within five (5) days of the due date thereof. 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 2% (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 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.
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) “Special Form” 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 within the Premises or for which Tenant is legally liable, including by way of example and not by way of limitation, furniture, 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.
(2) Commercial General Liability Insurance coverage to include personal injury, bodily injury, broad form property damage, operations hazard, contractual liability, products and completed operations liability naming Landlord and Landlord’s mortgagee or trust deed holder and ground lessors (if any) as additional named insureds in limits of not less than [Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00)].
(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 applicable 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 (but Landlord shall not require such changes more frequently than once every two (2) years unless required by such mortgagees or ground lessors) 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-VIII (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 the state in which the Property is located and shall be in form reasonably satisfactory from time to time to Landlord. A certificate evidencing such insurance together with a paid xxxx
shall be delivered to Landlord prior to the Commencement Date hereof. Such certificate will provide an undertaking by the insurers to notify Landlord and the mortgagees or ground lessors (if any) 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 fifteen (15) days following Landlord’s written request for same. The aforesaid insurance shall be written with commercially reasonable deductibles.
iii. In the event of damage to or destruction of the Building and/or Premises entitling Landlord or Tenant to terminate this Lease pursuant to Section 18 of this Lease, and if this Lease shall be so terminated, Tenant shall immediately pay to Landlord all of its insurance proceeds, if any, relating to the leasehold improvements and alterations (but not Tenant’s trade fixtures, equipment, furniture or other personal property of Tenant in the Premises) which have become Landlord’s property on installation or would have become Landlord’s property at the Term’s expiration or sooner termination. If the termination of the Lease, at Landlord’s election, is due to damage to the Building, and if the Premises have not been so damaged, Tenant will deliver to Landlord, in accordance with the provisions of this Lease, the improvements and alterations to the Premises which have become an installation or would have become at the Term’s expiration, Landlord’s property.
iv. Landlord represents that Tenant’s Permitted Use of the Premises as otherwise defined herein, will not violate any of the Landlord’s insurance policies as set forth herein and/or cause any increase in the premiums associated therewith. Tenant agrees that it will not keep or use or offer for sale (if sales of goods is a permitted use pursuant to this Lease) in or upon the Premises or within the Property any article which may be prohibited by any insurance policy 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, Tenant shall pay such increase in premiums as Additional Rent within thirty (30) 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. Tenant shall take promptly comply with all reasonable requirements of the insurance authority or of any insurer now or hereafter in effect relating to the Building, the Property or Premises.
v. If any insurance policy carried by either party 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 remedy the conditions giving rise to such cancellation or threatened cancellation or reduction in coverage on or before the later to occur of (i) forty-eight (48) hours after notice thereof from Landlord, or (ii) the date that is one day prior to the date such cancellation or reduction becoming effective (provided Tenant has knowledge of such), 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 Section 10(a)(i)(1) above) against damage by perils covered by the “special form” of property insurance against all loss or damage in an amount of not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the full insurable replacement cost of the Building 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. In addition, Landlord shall maintain and keep in force and effect during the Term, rental income insurance insuring Landlord against abatement or loss of Fixed Basic Rent, including items of Additional Rent, in case of fire or other casualty similarly insured against, in an amount at least equal to the Fixed Basic Rent and Additional Rent during, at the minimum, one Lease Year hereunder. 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 require or reasonably determine available. All costs and expenses incurred by Landlord for insurance carried by Landlord on the Building and the Property or in connection with its ownership or operation thereof shall be included as 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 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 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 fixtures, equipment, appurtenances or improvements of Tenant under this Lease, and Landlord shall not be obligated to repair any damage thereto or replace the same.
c. Waiver of Subrogation. Any policy or policies of fire, extended coverage or similar property insurance, which either party obtains in connection with the Premises, Building or Property 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 insurable under commercially available “special form” property insurance policies, including additional coverages typically obtained by owners and tenants of comparable office buildings in the vicinity of the Building, 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 as set forth herein, without such insurance carriers having any rights of subrogation against the other party.
11. Repairs and Maintenance.
a. Tenant shall, throughout the Term, and at Tenant’s sole cost and expense subject to Section 11(b) of this Lease, keep and maintain the Premises in a neat and orderly condition and in compliance with the Sustainability Standards; and, upon expiration of the Term or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall leave the Premises in broom clean condition, ordinary wear and tear, damage by fire or other casualty alone excepted, and for that purpose and except as otherwise agreed to in writing by Landlord and Tenant, Tenant will make all necessary repairs and replacements to the Premises to deliver it in such condition. Tenant shall not permit any waste to the Premises. Tenant shall not use any portion of the Common Facilities for other than their intended use as reasonably specified by Landlord from time to time.
b. Landlord shall, throughout the Term, make all necessary repairs to the roof, foundation, structural elements and Building operating systems, mechanical, electrical and HVAC systems and exterior windows and doors of the Premises and other improvements located on the Property and the parking, sidewalks and walkways and the Common Facilities. All interior Premises repairs that are necessary to the Premises and are not Landlord’s responsibility shall be performed at Tenant’s sole, but reasonable cost and expense. Landlord shall keep and maintain all Common Facilities of the Property and any sidewalks, parking areas, curbs and access ways adjoining the Property in a good order and repair, in a clean and orderly condition, free of accumulation of dirt and rubbish and ice and snow and shall keep and maintain all landscaped areas within the Property in a neat and orderly condition. All repairs and maintenance shall be done in a first class manner in keeping with comparable first class buildings in the locale of the Building. All costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with Landlord’s obligations under this Section 11(b) shall be included in Operating Expenses unless such expense is expressly excluded from the definition of Operating Expenses. On the Commencement Date, Landlord, at landlord’s sole cost and expense, shall cause the Building , including the roof, structure, windows, parking areas and mechanical systems, to be in good working condition.
12. Utilities and Services.
a. Services to the Premises.
i. Tenant shall have access to the Premises, including elevators as set forth in Section 12(c) and utilities including HVAC, electricity, water, and heat twenty-four hours per day, seven days per week. Landlord shall furnish the Premises with all utilities, and Landlord shall furnish heating, ventilation and air conditioning (“HVAC”) to the Premises in accordance with the standards set forth in Schedule 1 to Exhibit C between 8:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, and 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on Saturdays (“Business Hours”), of each week during the Term (Building Holidays excepted). During non-Business Hours, Landlord shall provide HVAC to the Premises as requested by Tenant and Tenant shall be billed for Landlord’s actual cost, without xxxx-up,
for such service. Any non-Business Hours HVAC charges shall be billed monthly in arrears and shall be payable by Tenant within thirty (30) days of receipt of an invoice from Landlord. Landlord shall provide janitorial service to the Premises in accordance with the Janitorial Specifications attached hereto as Exhibit E, five days per week except for Building Holidays. Landlord shall furnish electricity to Tenant for Tenant’s exclusive use on a twenty-four hour per day seven day a week basis in accordance with the standards set forth on such Schedule 1.
ii. Tenant agrees to pay monthly as Additional Rent (but not as an Operating Expense) all charges for electricity (to the extent the same is submetered) used by Tenant at the Premises. Tenant’s electricity consumption for lights, plugs and VAV’s shall be separately submetered as part of the Tenant Work (as defined in Exhibit C hereto). Tenant shall pay for the consumption of such electricity based upon its submetered usage, provided, however, Landlord shall be permitted to reasonably estimate such usage on a monthly basis but, not less frequently than annually, shall perform a reconciliation of paid amounts against actual amounts due from Tenant. Tenant shall be charged for such electricity based upon the consumption measured by submeter(s) at the rate Landlord is charged for same without xxxx-up or fee, and Tenant acknowledges that the rate charged to Tenant may be an average of the rates charged by the electricity provider as the rate charged for electricity supplied to the Property varies depending on service and hours of consumption.
iii. In addition, Tenant agrees to pay as Additional Rent (but not part of Operating Expenses) Tenant’s Proportionate Share of all charges for electricity used for Common Facilities at the Property and not within tenantable areas of the Building based upon the metered or submetered usage. In no event will the charges under Section 12(a)(ii) or under this Section 12(a)(iii) as the case may be, duplicate any charges under any other provision. Tenant shall be charged for such electricity at the rate Landlord is charged for same without xxxx-up or fee, and Tenant acknowledges that the rate charged to Tenant may be an average of the rates charged by the electricity provider as the rate charged for electricity supplied to the Property varies depending on service and hours of consumption.
iv. Tenant shall pay all bills for separately metered utility usage within thirty (30) days after receipt thereof.
v. Tenant’s use of electric energy in the Premises shall not at any time exceed the safe capacity of any of the electric conductors and equipment in or otherwise serving the Premises as set forth in Schedule 1 to Exhibit C. Tenant shall make commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Landlord to use electric energy and HVAC systems in a manner consistent with the Sustainability Standards and as required to obtain or maintain Building Certification; provided nothing in this Section shall authorize Landlord to make any changes in the Building or Premises that would have a material adverse effect on Tenant’s use of the Premises for the Permitted Use.
vi. If Landlord is in control of or obtains access to any alternative renewable energy source (“Alternative Energy”), Landlord shall have the option of providing such Alternative Energy to Tenant to satisfy Landlord’s obligations under this Section 12(a) at a rate not to exceed the average rate Tenant would have otherwise been charged had Landlord not provided such utility service by means of Alternative Energy.
b. Landlord, upon Tenant’s request, shall replace light bulbs, tubes and ballasts for lighting fixtures when required in the Premises. The cost of replacement light bulbs, tubes, lamps, and ballasts, plus the reasonable costs incurred by Landlord for such replacement, shall be paid by Tenant as Additional Rent in accordance with Landlord’s then-current schedule of costs and assessments therefor. As of the date of this Lease, the current rate for such service is $45.00 per hour (in .25 hour increments) plus the actual cost of the materials required.
c. Within the Common Facilities of the Building and consistent with other first class buildings in the locale of the Building, Landlord shall furnish: (i) adequate electricity and utilities, (ii) hot and cold water, (iii) lavatory supplies, (iv) automatically operated elevator service; and provided further that at least one elevator shall be available without additional charge on a twenty-four hour, seven day per week basis, (v) cleaning services (on a five-day a week basis except for Building Holidays) after Business Hours in accordance with Exhibit E attached hereto and made a part hereof, (vi) reasonably adequate heat and air conditioning in season during Business Hours except for Building Holidays, (vii) landscaping, (viii) parking facility maintenance, (ix) Common Facilities maintenance, (x) snow and ice removal, (xi) reasonable security and (xii) extermination as needed. Except as otherwise provided, the cost of the services provided by Landlord pursuant to this Section 12(c) shall be included as part of Operating Expenses. Any additional overtime services requested by Tenant which are not provided to all the tenants of the Building shall be paid by Tenant thirty (30) days after invoices, together with reasonable backup therefor as Additional Rent but shall not be included as part of Operating Expenses.
d. Landlord shall not be liable for any damages to or incurred by Tenant (and Tenant’s property located in the Premises) 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. Notwithstanding the above if Tenant is not able to use the Premises for the conduct of its normal business due to a service interruption or due to some other cause which is the result of Landlord’s failure to perform its material obligations hereunder (other than those obligations which are the subject of the Work Letter) and in fact ceases such conduct of its normal business and such interruption or failure, if applicable, is within the reasonable control of Landlord and continues for more than three (3) consecutive business days, then Tenant shall be entitled to an abatement of Fixed Basic Rent and Operating Expenses and Real Estate Taxes from the date of such interruption until such service is restored.
e. Tenant and Tenant’s employees shall have the right to use the professionally operated fitness center located in the Building at the then current monthly membership rates as same may change from time to time.
f. Building amenities as of the Commencement Date shall include a full service deli, complimentary WIFI access, concierge services, manned and electronic security and onsite engineering and maintenance staff.

g. Tenant shall have the right without charge to install and use and operate two (2) satellite dishes and/or antennae and communications equipment necessary or reasonably desirable to
Tenant in connection with Tenant’s business and operations and not for resale to or use by others (collectively, the “Equipment”), including the right to interconnect the Equipment with Tenant’s other equipment located in the Premises. All Equipment will be installed in a mutually agreeable location on the roof of the Building. Such installation may penetrate the roof membrane provided Tenant utilizes a roofing contractor which is authorized to make roof penetrations without violating or invalidating Landlord’s roof warranty, if any, to perform such penetrations. In addition, if Tenant is not the sole tenant of the Building, and such Equipment is installed by Tenant after communications equipment has already been installed upon the roof of the Building by a different Building tenant, Tenant shall be required to ensure that such Equipment does not interfere with the prior equipment installed by other tenants of the Building installed at the time of such installation. Tenant shall be solely responsible for the costs of installation, operation, and maintenance of the Equipment. Tenant shall operate the Equipment in accordance with all federal, state and local regulations. In addition, Tenant shall be responsible for obtaining any consents, permits and licenses required to install and operate the Equipment whether from municipal authorities, and Landlord agrees to cooperate with Tenant to accomplish the same at no cost to Landlord. Tenant agrees, at its sole cost and expense, to perform all installations and shall remove the Equipment at the end of the Term and repair and restore any damage caused thereby, and in doing so, shall utilize a contractor or subcontractor which is authorized by the manufacturer which issued the roof warranty for the Building to perform roof penetrations and Equipment installations and removal on the roof without invalidating the existing roof warranty for the Building.
13. Governmental Regulations. Landlord represents, warrants and covenants that as of the Commencement Date, the Property and the Common Facilities shall comply with all laws, ordinances, notices, orders, rules, regulations and requirements of all federal, state and municipal government or any department, commission, board or officer thereof, or of the National Board of Fire Underwriters or any other body exercising similar functions (collectively, “Laws”).

Tenant shall not knowingly do or commit, or suffer to be done or committed anywhere in the Building, any act or thing contrary to any of the Laws referred to in this Section. Tenant, upon having actual notice, shall give Landlord prompt written notice of any accident in the Premises and of any breakage, defect or failure in any of the systems or equipment servicing the Premises or any portion of the Premises.
14. Alterations, Additions and Fixtures.
a. Tenant shall have the right to install in the Premises any trade fixtures; provided, however, that no such installation and no removal thereof shall be permitted which affects any structural component or operating system of the Building or Premises or violates or will cause any portion of the Premises or the Building to violate any of the Sustainability Standards or otherwise negatively impact Building Certification and that Tenant shall repair and restore any damage or injury to the Premises or the Property caused by installation or removal. During the installation of any trade fixtures, alterations, improvements or additions to the Premises or Property whether prior to or during the Term, Tenant shall make commercially reasonable efforts to comply with the Sustainability Standards for Alterations and Construction Activities in Exhibit J.
b. Tenant shall not make or permit to be made any alterations, improvements or additions to the Premises or Property which cost in excess of $25,000 in the aggregate during any twelve (12) month period, 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 the Sustainability Standards, Building Certification impacts, and reasonable requirements of Landlord as provided in this Lease. If Landlord consents to any proposed alterations, improvements or additions, then Tenant at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, may make the proposed alterations, improvements and additions in accordance with the approved plans and specifications provided that: (i) Tenant supplies any necessary permits and approvals; (ii) such alterations and improvements do not, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, impair the structural strength of the Building, impair Building Certification, or any other improvements or reduce the value of the Property and are at least equal in quality to the tenant improvements installed as part of the Premises Work; (iii) Tenant takes or causes to be taken all steps that are otherwise required by Section 15 of this Lease and that are required or 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; (iv) Tenant uses a contractor approved by Landlord such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed so long as such contractor shall not disturb labor relations with or interfere with Landlord’s employees, agents, contractors or subcontractors; (v) the occupants of the Building and of any adjoining real estate owned by Landlord are not unreasonably disturbed by such work; (vi) the alterations, improvements or additions shall be installed in accordance with the approved plans and specifications and completed according to a construction schedule approved by Landlord such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; and (vii) Tenant provides 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 and additions 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. 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 its structural, electrical, mechanical or plumbing systems, or any components thereof.
15. Mechanic’s Liens.
a. Tenant covenants that it shall not (and has no authority to) create or allow to remain beyond the time period set forth in Section 15(c) herein any encumbrance against the Premises, the Property, or any part of any thereof or of Landlord’s interest therein.
b. Tenant covenants that it shall not suffer or permit to be created, or to remain beyond the time period set forth in Section 15(c) herein, any lien or claim thereof (arising out of any work done or services, material, equipment or supplies furnished for or at the request of Tenant or by or for any contractor or subcontractor of Tenant, other than such furnished by Landlord) which is or may become a lien upon the Premises, the Property, or any part of any thereof or the income therefrom or any fixture, equipment or similar property therein.
c. If any lien or claim shall be filed, Tenant shall within ten (10) days after receipt of written notice of the filing thereof, cause the same to be discharged of record by payment, deposit, bond or otherwise. If Tenant shall fail to cause such lien or claim to be discharged and removed from record within that 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 payment, deposit, bond or otherwise; and Landlord shall be entitled, if Landlord so decides, to compel the prosecution of an action for the foreclosure of such lien by the lienor and to pay the amount of the judgment in favor of the lienor with interest and costs. Any amounts so paid by Landlord and all reasonable costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by Landlord in connection therewith, together with Interest from the respective dates of Landlord’s making of the payment or incurring of the cost or expense, shall constitute Additional Rent payable by Tenant under this Lease and shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord within fifteen (15) days of demand.
d. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease or in any other writing signed by Landlord, neither this Lease nor any other writing signed by Landlord shall be construed as evidencing, indicating, or causing an appearance that any erection, construction, alteration or repair to be done, or caused to be done, by Tenant is or was in fact for the immediate use and benefit of Landlord. Further, notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, nothing contained in or contemplated by this Lease shall be deemed or construed in any way to constitute the consent or request on the part of 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 or the Property or any part of any thereof, nor as giving Tenant any right, power, or authority to contract for or permit the performance of any work or services or the furnishing of any materials for which any lien could be filed against the Premises, the Property or any part of any thereof.
16. Negative Covenants of Tenant.
a. System Changes. Supplementing the provisions of Section 14 above, Tenant shall not install any equipment of any kind or nature whatsoever which would or could, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, necessitate any change, replacement or addition to (or which might cause damage to) the plumbing, heating, air-conditioning or electrical systems serving the Premises or any other portion of the Building without the prior written consent of Landlord. In the event such consent is granted, all costs in connection with such changes, replacements or additions shall be paid for by Tenant in advance and any such work shall be performed in a manner so as not to violate the Sustainability Standards.
b. Sales. Without the prior written consent of Landlord, Tenant shall not exhibit, sell or offer for sale (or permit the exhibition, sale or offering for sale) in the Premises, or at the Property, any article or thing except those articles and things connected with the Permitted Use of the Premises by Tenant.

18. Damage by Fire or Other Casualty.
a. If the Premises or Building is damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty, Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord whereupon Landlord shall, subject to the consent of Landlord’s present or future mortgagee and to the conditions set forth in this Section 18, 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 the proceeds of fire and other extended coverage insurance policies. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Premises is destroyed or damaged to the extent that in Landlord’s sole judgment the Premises cannot be repaired or restored within one hundred eighty (180) days after such casually as determined by Landlord (such determination being promptly provided to Tenant in writing), either Landlord or Tenant may terminate this Lease by written notice of its election to do so to the other party
within thirty (30) days after the date of Landlord’s determination of the time to restore. If the Lease is so terminated, the termination will be effective as of the date of the casualty and all Fixed Basic Rent and Additional Rent shall xxxxx from such date, and any Fixed Basic Rent or Additional Rent paid for any period beyond such date and all other charges as to such Premises shall be refunded to Tenant.
b. If this Lease is not terminated as provided in subsection (a), 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; provided, if Landlord does not restore the Premises and the Building within ninety (90) days following the date Landlord advised Tenant that the restoration would be substantially complete, Tenant may terminate this Lease without incurring any liability to Landlord subsequent to the casualty, provided (i) Tenant gives Landlord not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice, and (ii) Landlord does not complete the restoration during such thirty (30) day period.
c. The net amount of any insurance proceeds recovered by reason of the damage or destruction of the Building (meaning the gross insurance proceeds excluding proceeds received 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 sole opinion the net amount of insurance proceeds will not be adequate to complete such restoration, Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease and all the unaccrued obligations of the parties hereto by sending a written notice of such termination to Tenant specifying a termination date no less than ten (10) days after its transmission; provided, however, that Tenant may require Landlord, except during the last two (2) years of the Term, to withdraw the notice of termination by agreeing to pay the cost of restoration in excess of the net insurance proceeds and by giving Landlord adequate security for such payment prior to the termination date specified in Landlord’s notice of termination. If the net insurance proceeds are more than adequate, the amount by which the net insurance proceeds exceed the cost of restoration will be retained by Landlord or applied to repayment of any mortgage secured by the Property.
d. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord’s obligation or election to restore the Premises under this Section 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 fixtures, improvements, alterations, furniture or any other property owned, installed, made by, or in the possession of Tenant.
e. Until the repairs and/or rebuilding shall have been completed, Tenant’s Fixed Basic Rent and Additional Rent will be proportionately abated based on the rentable square footage of the portion of the Premises that is rendered untenantable by reason of the fire or other casualty as compared to the rentable square footage of the entire Premises.
19. Non-Abatement of Rent. Except as otherwise expressly set forth 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. Except to the extent such loss, costs or damages were caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or Tenant, as applicable, or their respective employees, agents or contractors, Landlord and Tenant hereby agree to indemnify, defend and hold the other party and its employees, agents and contractors harmless from any loss, costs and damages (including reasonable attorney’s fees and costs) suffered by the other party, its agents, employees or contractors, as a result of any claim by a third party, its agents, employees or contractors arising from Landlord’s or Tenant’s respective use or occupancy of the Premises, the Building or the Property. The indemnifying party shall have the right to designate counsel acceptable to the indemnified party, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, to assume the defense of any such third party claim on behalf of itself and the indemnified party. The indemnifying party shall not have the right to settle any claim without the consent of the indemnified party. This indemnity shall survive the expiration of the Term or earlier termination of this Lease.
21. Eminent Domain.
a. Total or Partial Taking. In the event of exercise of the power of eminent domain whereby:
i. such portion of the Property is taken that access to the Premises is permanently impaired thereby and reasonable alternate access is not provided by Landlord within thirty (30) days following such taking; or
ii. all or substantially all of the Premises or the Property is taken; or
iii. less than substantially all of the Property is taken but Landlord, acting in good faith, determines that it is economically unfeasible to continue to operate the uncondemned portion of the Building as a first-class office building; or
iv. less than substantially all of the Premises is taken, but Tenant, acting in good faith, determines that because of such taking it is economically unfeasible to continue to conduct its business in the uncondemned portion of the Premises;
then in the case of (i) or (ii), either party, and in the case of (iii), Landlord, and in the case of (iv), Tenant, shall have the right to terminate this Lease as of the date when possession of that part which was taken is required to be delivered or surrendered to the condemning authority; and in such case all Fixed Basic Rent, Additional Rent and other charges shall be adjusted to the date of termination and any Fixed Basic Rent or Additional Rent paid for any period beyond such date and all other charges as to such Premises shall be refunded to Tenant. A “taking” as such term, is used in this Section 21 shall include a transfer of title or of any interest in the Property by deed or other instrument in settlement of or in lieu of transfer by operation of law incident to condemnation proceedings.
b. Temporary Taking. Notwithstanding anything hereinabove provided, in the event of a taking of only the right to or for possession of the Premises for a fixed period of time or for the duration of an emergency or other temporary condition, then this Lease shall continue in full
force and effect without any abatement of Fixed Basic Rent or Additional Rent, but the amounts payable by the condemnor with respect to any period of time prior to the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease shall be paid by the condemnor to Landlord and credited against Tenant’s installments of Fixed Basic Rent and/or Additional Rent as set forth herein. If the amounts payable hereunder by the condemnor are paid in monthly installments, Landlord shall apply the amount of such installments, or as much thereof as may be necessary for the purpose, toward the amount of Fixed Basic Rent and/or Additional Rent due from Tenant for the period, and Tenant shall not be liable to Landlord for any deficiency between the monthly amount thus paid by the condemnor and the amount that would have been due from Tenant under the Lease had the temporary taking not occurred. The above notwithstanding, if any such temporary taking shall continue for a period in excess of ninety (90) days, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease upon ten (10) days’ written notice to Landlord.
c. Tenant’s Waiver. Regardless of whether this Lease shall terminate, Tenant shall have no right to participate or share in any condemnation claim, damage award or settlement in lieu thereof with respect to any taking of any nature; provided, however, that Tenant shall not be precluded from claiming or receiving payment for Tenant’s relocation and moving expenses and the value of Tenant’s improvements as may be permitted under applicable law so long as the amount of same does not reduce the award which Landlord is entitled to receive.
22. Quiet Enjoyment; Landlord Default. 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, including applicable cure periods, 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, matters of public record and any mortgage to which this Lease shall be subordinate.
23. Rules and Regulations. Landlord hereby reserves the right to prescribe, from time to time, at its sole discretion, reasonable rules and regulations (herein called the “Rules and Regulations”) governing the use and enjoyment of the Premises and the remainder of the Property and the current Rules and Regulations are attached hereto as Exhibit F. 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 monetary obligations under this Lease. In the event of a conflict between the Lease and such Rules and Regulations, the Lease shall control. Tenant and its agents and employees shall comply at all times with the Rules and Regulations and shall take commercially reasonable efforts to cause its 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, but shall enforce such Rules and Regulations in a uniform manner.
24. Assignment and Sublease.
a. In the event Tenant desires to assign this Lease or sublease all or part of the Premises to any other party (except for any transfer or assignment that occurs as a result of Section 24(c) herein), Tenant shall provide written notice of the terms and conditions of such assignment or Sublease to Landlord prior to the effective date of any such sublease or assignment (a “Tenant Request”), and, prior to such effective date, Landlord shall have the option, exercisable by written notice to
Tenant within ten (10) business days of Landlord’s receipt of written notice from Tenant (a “Recapture Notice”), to terminate this Lease with respect to the portion of the Premises which is the subject of the Tenant Request on notice to Tenant. If Landlord gives a Recapture Notice, Tenant shall have five (5) calendar days from receipt of such Recapture Notice to rescind, in writing, the Tenant’s Request and, upon such rescission, both the Recapture Notice and Tenant’s Request shall be deemed withdrawn, null and void. If Tenant’s Request is not so rescinded within the permitted time period, then this Lease shall terminate (in whole if Tenant’s Request is for an assignment of the Lease or subleasing of all or substantially all of the Premises, or with respect to that part of the Premises which is the subject of a subletting if Tenant’s Request is for a subletting of less than substantially all of the Premises) (that portion, whether the whole or a part, of the Premises which is the subject of Tenant’s Request is hereinafter referred to as the “Recapture Space”) on the date which is specified in Landlord’s Recapture Notice (the “Surrender Date”). Tenant shall vacate the Recapture Space on or before the Surrender Date and deliver possession of the Recapture Space to Landlord in the condition required by this Lease. Effective as of the Surrender Date, neither Landlord nor Tenant shall have any further obligations under this Lease with respect to the Recapture Space, except for those rights and obligations which survive expiration or termination of the Lease. Effective as of the Surrender Date, all Fixed Basic Rent and Additional Rent shall be adjusted on a pro rata basis to reflect the reduced size of the Premises, if applicable.
b. In the event that Landlord elects not to recapture the Recapture Space as provided in Section 24(a) above, Tenant may assign this Lease or sublet the whole or any portion of the Premises, subject to Landlord’s prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, on the basis of the following terms and conditions:
i. Tenant shall provide to Landlord the following:
(1) The name and address of the proposed assignee or subtenant;
(2) All the terms and conditions of the assignment or subletting;
(3) The nature and character of the business of the proposed assignee or subtenant;
(4) Banking, financial and other credit information relating to the proposed assignee or subtenant reasonably sufficient to enable Landlord to determine the proposed assignee’s or sublessee’s financial responsibility; and
(5) In the event of a subleasing of only a portion of the Premises, plans and specifications for Tenant’s layout, partitioning, and electrical installations for the portion of the Premises to be subleased.
(6) Tenant acknowledges that it shall not be unreasonable for Landlord to withhold its consent if Tenant shall seek to assign or sublet to the following:
(7) To a government or quasi-government agency;
(8) To an entity whose financial or business character is not consistent with the other tenants in the Building;
(9) To an existing tenant of the Building, and such tenant has expansion options in its lease for space in the Building; and
(10) To a tenant or prospect with whom Landlord currently is negotiating for space in the Building.
ii. The assignee or subtenant shall assume, by written instrument, all of the obligations of Tenant as provided by this Lease, and a copy of such assumption agreement shall be furnished to Landlord within ten (10) days of its execution, provided, however, any such subtenants shall only be obligated to assume Tenant’s obligations arising under this Lease with respect to the portion of the Premises sublet. Any sublease shall expressly acknowledge that said subtenant’s rights in and to the Premises shall be no greater than those of Tenant. In addition, any request by Tenant for Landlord’s consent to an assignment or sublease shall not include any option or right of expansion, renewal, first refusal, or any other right or option with respect to the Premises, any other portion of the Building or for any period of time beyond the original Term, Tenant hereby acknowledging that such rights and options, if any, are personal to Tenant.
iii. Tenant and each assignee shall be and remain liable for the observance of all the covenants and provisions of this Lease, including, but not limited to, the payment of Fixed Basic Rent and Additional Rent reserved herein, through the entire Term, as the same may be renewed, extended or otherwise modified.
iv. Tenant and any assignee or subtenant, as applicable, shall promptly pay to Landlord fifty percent (50%) of the difference between the rent paid by such subtenant or assignee on a monthly basis and the amount of rent due for such month pursuant to this Lease.
v. In any event, the acceptance by Landlord of any rent from the assignee or from any of the subtenants or the failure of Landlord to insist upon a strict performance of any of the terms, conditions and covenants herein shall not release Tenant herein, nor any assignee or subtenant, from any and all of the obligations to be performed by it in accordance herewith during and for the entire Term.
vi. Tenant shall pay to Landlord the sum of One Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($1,500.00) to cover its handling charges for each consent to any sublet or assignment prior to its consideration of the same. Tenant acknowledges that its sole remedy with respect to any assertion that Landlord’s failure to consent to any sublet or assignment is unreasonable shall be the remedy of specific performance and Tenant shall have no other claim or cause of action against Landlord as a result of Landlord’s actions in refusing to consent thereto.
c. If Tenant is a corporation other than a corporation whose stock is listed and traded on a nationally recognized stock exchange, the provisions of Section 24(b) hereof shall apply to a transfer (however accomplished, whether in a single transaction or in a series of related or unrelated transactions) of stock (or any other mechanism such as, by way of example, the issuance of additional stock, a stock voting agreement or change in class(es) of stock) which results in a change of control of Tenant as if such transfer of stock (or other mechanism) which results in a change of control of Tenant were an assignment of this Lease, and if Tenant is a partnership, limited liability company or joint venture, said provisions shall apply with respect to
a transfer (by one or more transfers) of an interest in the distributions of profits and losses of such partnership, limited liability company or joint venture (or other mechanism, such as, by way of example, the creation of additional general partnership or limited partnership or member interests) which results in a change of control of such a partnership, limited liability company or joint venture, as if such transfer of an interest in the distributions of profits and losses of such partnership or joint venture which results in a change of control of such partnership, limited liability company or joint venture were an assignment of this Lease; but said provisions shall not apply to transactions with a corporation into or with which Tenant is merged or consolidated or to which all or substantially all of Tenant’s assets are transferred or to any corporation which controls or is controlled by Tenant or is under common control with Tenant, provided that in the event of such merger, consolidation or transfer of all or substantially all of Tenant’s assets (i) the successor to Tenant has a net worth computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles at least equal to the greater of (1) the net worth of Tenant immediately prior to such merger, consolidation or transfer, or (2) the net worth of Tenant herein named on the date of this Lease, and (ii) proof satisfactory to Landlord of such net worth shall have been delivered to Landlord at least ten (10) days prior to the effective date of any such transaction.
d. Without limiting any of the provisions of this Section 24, if pursuant to the Federal Bankruptcy Code (herein referred to as the “Code”), or any similar law hereafter enacted having the same general purpose, Tenant is permitted to assign this Lease notwithstanding the restrictions contained in this Lease, adequate assurance of future performance by an assignee expressly permitted under such Code shall be deemed to mean the deposit of cash security in an amount equal to the sum of three month’s Fixed Basic Rent plus an amount equal to the Additional Rent for the final three months of the calendar year preceding the year in which such assignment is intended to become effective, which deposit shall be held by Landlord for the balance of the Term, without interest, as security for the full performance of all of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, to be held and applied in the manner specified for any security deposit required hereunder.
e. Except as specifically set forth above, no portion of the Premises or of Tenant’s interest in this Lease may be acquired by any other person or entity, whether by assignment, mortgage, sublease, transfer, operation of law or act of Tenant, nor shall Tenant pledge its interest in this Lease or in any security deposit required hereunder.
25. Intentionally Omitted.
26. Subordination. This Lease and Tenant’s rights under this Lease shall be subject and subordinate at all times in lien and priority to any first mortgage or other primary encumbrance now or hereafter placed upon or affecting the Property or the Premises, and to any second mortgage or encumbrance with the consent of the first mortgagee, and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations and extensions thereof, without the necessity of any further instrument or act on the part of Tenant. Tenant shall execute and deliver within ten (10) days upon demand a Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I (“SNDA”) and any further instrument or instruments 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 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. Landlord represents and warrants to Tenant that there are no ground leases or mortgages affecting the Property or the Premises except for the mortgage of Bank of America, N.A. (“Mortgage Lender”). Simultaneously with the execution of this Lease, Landlord and Tenant shall execute the SNDA and Landlord shall use reasonable efforts and shall diligently pursue obtaining the Mortgage Lender’s signature to the SNDA; the form of the SNDA being previously approved by the Mortgage Lender.
27. Curing Tenant’s Defaults. If Tenant defaults in the performance of any of its obligations under this Lease and fails to cure same with any applicable cure period, 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 providing at least ten (10) days’ written notice (except in the case of emergency) to Tenant; provided, if the nature of Tenant’s failure is such that more than ten (10) days are reasonably required in order to cure, Tenant shall not be in default if Tenant commences to cure such failure within such ten (10) day period, and thereafter diligently works to cure such failure to completion. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord upon demand for any sums paid or costs incurred by Landlord in curing such default, which sums and costs together with interest thereon shall be deemed Additional Rent payable within fifteen (15) 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 improvements, alterations and additions thereto, and all fixtures and equipment servicing the Premises 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 or other casualty excepted.
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 without prior written consent of Landlord, (i) the tenancy under this Lease shall become a tenancy from month-to-month, terminable by Landlord or Tenant on thirty (30) days prior notice to the other party, under the same terms and conditions set forth in this Lease; (ii) the Fixed Basic Rent during such continued occupancy shall be one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Fixed Basic Rent for the last year of the Term; and (iii) Tenant shall indemnify Landlord for any actual and documented loss or damage incurred by reason of Tenant’s failure to surrender the Premises. 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 subject to all the remedies set forth in Section 29(b) of this Lease.
29. Defaults-Remedies.
a. Defaults. It shall be an Event of Default under this Lease if any one or more of the following events occurs (each, an “Event of Default”):
i. Tenant fails to pay in full, within five (5) days after the date when due, 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; provided, however, that Tenant shall have the right to written notice of such failure limited to a maximum of two (2) times during each calendar year of the term of this Lease.
ii. Tenant violates or fails to perform or otherwise breaches any agreement, term, covenant or condition contained in this Lease for more than thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice thereof from Landlord specifically describing such violation or failure and such additional time as reasonably necessary to cure if Tenant has commenced to cure within such thirty (30) day period.
iii. 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 xxxx 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.
b. Remedies. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under this Lease, Landlord shall have all of the following rights:
i. Landlord may charge a late payment charge in accordance with Section 9. If Landlord incurs a late charge in connection with any payment which Tenant has failed to make within the times required in this Lease, Tenant shall pay Landlord, in addition to such payment due, the full amount of such late charge incurred by Landlord. Nothing in this Lease shall be construed as waiving any rights of Landlord arising out of any default of Tenant, by reason of Landlord’s imposing or accepting any such late charge(s) and/or interest; the right to collect such late charge(s) and/or interest is separate and apart from any rights relating to remedies of Landlord after default by Tenant including, without limitation, the rights and remedies of Landlord provided herein.
ii. Landlord shall be entitled to damages computed in accordance with Section 29(c) below.
iii. Subject to compliance with applicable law, Landlord may re-enter the Premises and, at the option of Landlord, remove all persons and all or any property therefrom, either by self help or 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, as reasonably
determined by Landlord, in order to relet the Premises and may relet the Premises or any part or parts thereof, either in Landlord’s name or otherwise, 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 reasonable 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.
iv. 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.
v. 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, AND UPON AT LEAST TEN (10) DAYS’ WRITTEN NOTICE TO TENANT OF LANDLORD’S INTENTION TO EXERCISE THE RIGHTS SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION 29(B)(V), 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 AND UPON AT LEAST TEN (10) DAYS’ WRITTEN NOTICE TO TENANT OF LANDLORD’S INTENTION TO
EXERCISE THE RIGHTS SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION 29(B)(V)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. TENANT WAIVES ALL ERRORS IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH CONFESSION OF JUDGMENT. 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 MINIMUM 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.

If Tenant shall fail to timely deliver a replacement Letter of Credit as aforesaid, then Landlord shall be entitled to draw immediately under the Letter of Credit in Landlord’s possession, and shall hold the funds so drawn as a cash security deposit.

b. “Landlord” as used in this Lease includes 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 for the satisfaction of Tenant’s remedies.
c. “Tenant” as used in this Lease includes Tenant named above as well as its 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. Each and every person named above as Tenant shall be bound jointly and severally by the terms, covenants and agreements contained herein. 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.

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 ten (10) business days in order to notify Landlord that it elects to exercise its rights hereunder and expand the Premises to include the Additional Space. If Tenant elects not to expand into such Additional Space or fails to accept or reject such Additional Space within the ten (10) business day period, then Landlord may proceed to lease such space to any third party. If Landlord elects to lease the Additional Space at a rental rate which is less than eighty five percent (85%) of the rate originally quoted to Tenant, Landlord shall first re-offer the Additional Space to Tenant at the new offering rate in accordance with the terms of this Section 42.

In any case, if Tenant accepts the Additional Space, the Additional Space shall be added to the Premises by amendment to this Lease. All of the terms and conditions of this Lease will apply to any Additional Space leased by Tenant provided, however the rate of Fixed Basic Rent with respect to the Additional Space shall be Market Rent determined as provided in Section 43 below, with Landlord’s initial determination of Rent to be set forth in Landlord’s Notice of Availability (adjusted if necessary to reflect changes in term, tenant improvement costs and inducements from that offered in Landlord’s Notice of Availability), provided, however that if Tenant exercises its Right of Offer with respect to any Additional Space during the first Lease Year of the Term, then the Fixed Basic Rent with respect to the Additional Space shall be at the then existing escalated rental rate for the Premises together with a prorated Improvement Allowance to account for the shorter term with respect to 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 diligently work in good faith to cause such tenant to vacate the Additional Space and no Rent for the Additional Space shall be due from Tenant during such wrongful holdover.
43. Renewal Option. Tenant is hereby granted two (2) options (each a “Renewal Option”) to renew this Lease for a period of five (5) years each (each a “Renewal Term”) upon the following terms and conditions:
a. Notice of the exercise of a Renewal Option shall be sent to the Landlord in writing at least nine (9) months before the expiration of the Term or in the case of the second Renewal Term, the first Renewal Term.
b. The first Renewal Term shall commence at the expiration of the Term. The second Renewal Term shall commence at the expiration of the first Renewal Term. A failure to exercise the Renewal Option for the first Renewal Term shall be deemed a waiver of the right to exercise the Renewal Option for the second Renewal Term. All of the terms and conditions of this Lease, other than the Fixed Basic Rent, shall apply during each Renewal Term.
c. If Tenant elects to exercise a Renewal Option to extend the term of this Lease in accordance with this Section 43, Fixed Basic Rent for the applicable Renewal Term shall be 95% of the fair market rent then being charged in first class office buildings in suburban Philadelphia which are comparable to the Building, taking into account the length of term, tenant improvements or other concessions, and all relevant factors (“Market Rent”). If Tenant elects to exercise a Renewal Option, then Landlord, within fifteen (15) days of such election shall advise Tenant of the Fixed Basic Rent it desires to charge. During the period (the “Analysis Period”) beginning on the date of Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s determination of Fixed Basic Rent and ending thirty (30) days thereafter, Tenant shall have the right to consider the Fixed Basic Rent determined by Landlord and elect by written notice to Landlord one of the following three alternatives:
i. determine not to proceed with such renewal;
ii. accept Landlord’s determination of the Fixed Basic Rent, in which event Landlord’s determination shall be deemed to be Market Rent; or
iii. elect to proceed with such renewal election and submit the determination of Fixed Basic Rent to binding arbitration as discussed below.
In the event Tenant elects to submit the determination of the rate of Fixed Basic Rent to binding arbitration then Tenant at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, shall employ the services of an appraiser familiar with office buildings located within the metropolitan Philadelphia, Pennsylvania area comparable to the Building, who shall be a member of MAI and who shall render an appraisal of Market Rent for the Premises. If the Landlord and the Tenant’s appraiser cannot agree on the Market Rent, Landlord shall employ the services of an appraiser familiar with office buildings located with the metropolitan Philadelphia, Pennsylvania area comparable to the Building who shall be a member of MAI and who shall render an appraisal of Market Rent for the Premises. If the two appraisers cannot agree on the Market Rent, or in such case, on an independent appraiser acceptable to both, either Landlord or Tenant may request the American Arbitration Association to appoint such independent appraiser who shall be a member of MAI familiar with office buildings in the area of the Building who shall render an appraisal of Market Rent for the Premises, and in such event the judgment of a majority of the three appraisers shall be final and binding upon the parties. The parties shall share equally in the cost of any such independent appraiser. Pending resolution of the issue of Market Rent, Tenant shall pay the Landlord as of commencement of the applicable Renewal Term, the Fixed Basic Rent as established by Landlord, subject to retroactive adjustment upon final determination of this issue.
44. TENANT WAIVER. TENANT SPECIFICALLY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT TENANT HAS VOLUNTARILY, KNOWINGLY AND INTELLIGENTLY WAIVED CERTAIN DUE PROCESS RIGHTS TO A PREJUDGMENT HEARING BY (TENANT INITIALS) AGREEING TO THE TERMS REGARDING CONFESSION OF JUDGMENT AS PROVIDED IN SECTION 29(b) ABOVE.

CONTINENTAL SQUARE ASSOCIATES, L.P., AS LANDLORD,
AND FINANCIAL TRANSACTION SERVICES, LLC, AS TENANT
As material inducement to Tenant to enter into the Lease, and in consideration of the covenants herein contained, Landlord and Tenant, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:
1. Lease: Defined Terms. The Lease is hereby incorporated by reference to the extent that the provisions of this Work Letter apply thereto. Terms not otherwise defined in this Work Letter shall have the meanings given to them in the Lease. The Base Building Work and the Premises Work, as those terms are defined below, are sometimes collectively referred to herein and in the Lease as “Landlord’s Work.”
2. Base Building Work. Landlord has performed the Base Building Work described on Schedule 1.
3. Premises Work. Landlord shall provide all labor, materials, and expertise necessary for the improvement of the Premises (the “Premises Work” and sometimes “Landlord’s Work”) in accordance with a space plan and a reflected ceiling plan prepared by Tenant’s designer, Xxxxxxxxxx (collectively, the “Premises Fit Plan”) which Premises Plans shall be final and approved by Tenant on or before April 6, 2012. Tenant shall deliver on or before April 11, 2012 its approved furniture/power plan (the “Furniture Plan” and collectively with the Premises Fit Plan, the “Premises Plans”). The Premises Plans shall incorporate materials and methods equivalent or better in quality than the Minimum Standard Tenant Improvements (as set forth on Schedule 2). Landlord’s architect, d2 Solutions, requires the Premises Plans in final approved form in order to prepare the construction documents needed to construct the Premises Work.
4. Schedule; Contract; Construction.
(a) As soon as practicable after the full execution and delivery of the Lease, Landlord shall submit the Premises Work to bid to at least three (3) reputable contractors from the following list of contractors: MidAtlantic Construction Inc.; The Xxxxxxx Company; Axis Construction Management, LLC; Xxxxxx Construction; Penntex Construction; and IMC Construction Inc. Landlord shall select the lowest qualified bidder and enter into a construction contract with such contractor (the “Construction Contract”) for the performance of the Premises Work. The total cost of the Premises Work shall include the cost of the Premises Plans, permit and inspection fees, and licenses relating to the Premises Work, the cost of the Construction Contract along with contractor’s overhead and general conditions and a development administration fee payable to Landlord or its affiliate equal to three and one-half percent (3 1⁄2%) of the cost of the foregoing (collectively, the “Premises Work Costs”).
(b) Landlord shall perform, or cause to be performed, Premises Work in accordance with the Premises Plans. Landlord reserves the right, however: (i) to make substitutions of material of equivalent grade, quality and usefulness when and if any specified material shall not be readily and reasonably available, and (ii) to make reasonable changes necessitated by conditions met in the course of construction which shall not substantially deviate from the intended results of the Premises Plans. The Premises shall be deemed substantially completed (“Substantially Completed” or “Substantially Complete”) when Tenant is in receipt of a Certificate of Occupancy or Temporary Certificate of Occupancy (punchlist items excepted) for the Premises. The Target Commencement Date shall be extended for additional periods of time equal to the time lost by Landlord or Landlord’s contractors, subcontractors or suppliers due to the following: strikes or other labor troubles; Tenant Delay (as defined below); governmental restrictions and limitations; unavailability or delays in obtaining fuel, labor or materials; war or other national emergency; accidents; floods; defective materials; fire damage or other casualties; adverse weather conditions; the inability to obtain building or use and occupancy permits; or any cause similar or dissimilar to the foregoing which is beyond the reasonable control of Landlord or Landlord’s contractors, subcontractors or suppliers.
(c) Except as permitted by paragraph 4(b) above, changes in the Premises Work may be accomplished only by a Change Order (defined below). Tenant shall have the right to require changes in the Premises Work by making a written demand to Landlord describing the required change, but Landlord shall not perform any requested change unless a Change Order is issued with respect thereto. As used in this Work Letter, a “Change Order” shall mean a written instrument prepared by Landlord and signed by Landlord and Tenant stating their agreement upon all of the following: (i) the change in the Premises Work; (ii) the extent of the adjustment in the Premises Work Cost; and (iii) the extent of the adjustment in the Target Commencement Date, if any. Landlord shall act reasonably and diligently in preparing a Change Order following its receipt of Tenant’s demand therefor. Changes in the Premises Work Cost due to a Change Order shall be limited to (x) the actual net increase in the costs included in the definition of “Premises Work Costs,” including a three and one-half percent (3 1⁄2%) development administration fee but without any further xxxx-up by Landlord, plus (y) if the Change Order results in an extension of the scheduled Commencement Date, a sum equal to the per diem Fixed Basic Rent that would have otherwise been paid by Tenant for the period by which the Commencement Date is delayed due to such Change Order, as agreed by Landlord and Tenant in such Change Order.
(d) Approximately three (3) business days prior to the date when Landlord anticipates the Premises Work will be Substantially Completed, Landlord and Tenant shall inspect the Building and the Premises. Upon completion of the inspection, unless Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing regarding any observed deficiencies in the Premises Work that go beyond punch list items, which notice shall be delivered to Landlord, if at all, within three (3) business days next following Tenant’s inspection, it shall be presumed that the Premises Work is Substantially Completed, except for punch list items. Within three (3) business days after the Premises Work is Substantially Completed, Landlord and Tenant shall inspect the Building and Premises, and Tenant shall create a punch list of minor finishing and adjustment which Landlord has not completed materially in accordance with the Premises Plans or which needs to be repaired. Landlord agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to complete the items set forth on the punch list within thirty (30) days of receipt of such list. Failure to include an item on the punch
list will not diminish the responsibility of Landlord to complete all Premises Work in accordance with the Premises Plans. Any dispute as to whether a particular item constitutes a punchlist item shall be resolved by the reasonable determination of Landlord’s architect.
5. Improvement Allowance. Tenant shall be permitted to apply the Improvement Allowance toward the Premises Work Costs, the costs of any Tenant Work (as defined in paragraph 7), data and telecommunication cabling, architectural and engineering costs, the fees charged by Xxxxxxxxxx Design (not to exceed the sum of $1.50 per rentable square foot), construction fees incurred in connection with the improvement of the Premises and the performance of the Premises Work and the Tenant Work. Landlord shall keep accurate records of all costs, fees, disbursements, and amounts incurred by it in the performance of the Premises Work, and Tenant shall have the right to inspect Landlord’s records with respect thereto. If the Premises Work Costs exceed the Improvement Allowance (the “Excess Costs”), Tenant shall pay the Excess Costs to Landlord as follows: (i) one-third (1/3) within fifteen (15) days following Landlord’s entry into the Construction Contract; (ii) one-third (1/3) within thirty (30) days following the commencement of the Premises Work; and (iii) the balance within five (5) days of Substantial Completion of the Premises Work. Moreover, if the Premises Work Costs exceed the Improvement Allowance, the parties agree that the Improvement Allowance is to be allocated by Landlord to such costs as Landlord shall determine in its sole discretion. In particular, the costs of all “energy efficient commercial building property” as defined in Section 179D of the Internal Revenue Code, as same may be amended from time to time, which is installed as part of the interior lighting systems, the heating, cooling, ventilation, and hot water systems or the building envelope and the cost of all property described by Section 1245 of the Internal Revenue Code, as same may be amended from time to time (other than furniture and other equipment) will be deemed to have been paid for by Landlord from the Improvement Allowance, to the extent of the Improvement Allowance.
6. Tenant Delay. As used in this Work Letter, the term “Tenant Delay” shall mean any:
(i) delays caused by Tenant’s failure to finalize and approve the Premises Plans by the dates set forth herein;
(ii) delays caused by Tenant’s failure to comply with the specific time periods established in this Work Letter including, but not limited to, the failure to make timely all payments due to Landlord hereunder;
(iii) Intentionally Omitted;
(iv) delays resulting from a Change Order (not to exceed the amount of time agreed to pursuant to Paragraph 4(c) for the extension of the scheduled Commencement Date);

(vi) delays caused by Tenant Work (as defined in paragraph 7 below) interfering with the progress of Landlord’s Work.

All Tenant Work shall be performed in a manner and by contractors who shall not interfere with the use of the Building by other tenants or disturb harmonious labor relations with Landlord’s employees, agents, contractors or subcontractors. In the event that Tenant, its employees, agents, contractors or subcontractors conflict with or interfere with labor employed by Landlord, its contractors or subcontractors, or in the event that any work stoppages, jurisdictional labor dispute or other interference with Landlord, or Landlord’s employees, agents, contractors or subcontractors occurs, of which Landlord shall be the sole and absolute judge, Landlord shall have the right to require Tenant, upon written demand, to remove or cause the removal forthwith of all Tenant’s contractors and subcontractors from the Premises, and Tenant agrees to comply with such demand immediately. Tenant Work shall be subject to the reasonable coordination of Landlord and Tenant’s architect.

WHEREAS, the term “Landlord” as used herein means the present landlord under the Lease or, if the landlord’s interest is transferred in any manner, the successor(s) or assign(s) occupying the position of landlord under the Lease at the time in question.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:
1. Subordination. Tenant agrees and covenants that the Lease and the rights of Tenant thereunder, all of Tenant’s right, title and interest in and to the property covered by the Lease, and any lease thereafter executed by Tenant covering any part of the Property, are and shall be subject, subordinate and inferior to (a) the Mortgage and the rights of Mortgagee thereunder, and all right, title and interest of Mortgagee in the Property, and (b) all other security documents now or hereafter securing payment of any indebtedness of the Landlord (or any prior landlord) to Mortgagee which cover or affect the Property (the “Security Documents”). This Agreement is not intended and shall not be construed to subordinate the Lease to any mortgage, deed of trust or other security document other than those referred to in the preceding sentence, securing the indebtedness to Mortgagee.
2. Non-Disturbance. Mortgagee agrees that so long as the Lease is in full force and effect and Tenant is not in default in the payment of rent, additional rent or other payments or in the performance of any of the other terms, covenants or conditions of the Lease on Tenant’s part to be performed (beyond the period, if any, specified in the Lease within which Tenant may cure such default),
A. Tenant’s possession of the Premises under the Lease shall not be disturbed or interfered with by Mortgagee in the exercise of any of its foreclosure rights under the Mortgage, including any conveyance in lieu of foreclosure, and
B. Mortgagee will not join Tenant as a party defendant for the purpose of terminating Tenant’s interest and estate under the Lease in any proceeding for foreclosure of the Mortgage.
3. Attornment.
A. Tenant covenants and agrees that in the event of foreclosure of the Mortgage, whether by power of sale or by court action, or upon a transfer of the Property by conveyance in lieu of foreclosure (the purchaser at foreclosure or the transferee in lieu of foreclosure, including Mortgagee if it is such purchaser or transferee, being herein called “New Owner”), Tenant shall attorn to the New Owner as Tenant’s new landlord, and agrees that the Lease shall continue in full force and effect as a direct lease between Tenant and New Owner upon all of the terms, covenants, conditions and agreements set forth in the Lease and this Agreement, except for provisions which are impossible for New Owner to perform; provided, however, that in no event shall the New Owner be:
1. liable for any act, omission, default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty, of any previous landlord (including Landlord) or obligations accruing prior to New Owner’s actual ownership of the Property;
2. bound by any payment of rent, additional rent or other payments, made by Tenant to any previous landlord (including Landlord) for more than one (1) month in advance;
3. bound by any amendment, or modification of the Lease hereafter made, or consent, or acquiescence by any previous landlord (including Landlord) under the Lease to any assignment or sublease hereafter granted, without the written consent of Mortgagee; or
4. liable for any deposit that Tenant may have given to any previous landlord (including Landlord) which has not, as such, been transferred to New Owner.
B. The provisions of this Agreement regarding attornment by Tenant shall be self-operative and effective without the necessity of execution of any new lease or other document on the part of any party hereto or the respective heirs, legal representatives, successors or assigns of any such party. Tenant agrees, however, to execute and deliver upon the request of New Owner, any instrument or certificate which in the reasonable judgment of New Owner may be necessary or appropriate to evidence such attornment, including a new lease of the Premises on the same terms and conditions as the Lease for the unexpired term of the Lease.
4. Estoppel Certificate. Tenant agrees to execute and deliver from time to time, upon the request of Landlord or of any holder(s) of any of the indebtedness or obligations secured by the Mortgage, a certificate regarding the status of the Lease, consisting of statements, if true (or if not, specifying why not), (a) that the Lease is in full force and effect, (b) the date through which rentals have been paid, (c) the date of the commencement of the term of the Lease, (d) the nature of any amendments or modifications of the Lease, (e) to the best of Tenant’s knowledge no default, or state of facts which with the passage of time or notice (or both) would constitute a default, exists under the Lease, (f) to the best of Tenant’s knowledge, no setoffs, recoupments, estoppels, claims or counterclaims exist against Landlord, and (g) such other matters as may be reasonably requested.
5. Acknowledgment and Agreement by Tenant. Tenant acknowledges and agrees as follows:
A. Tenant acknowledges that the Mortgage contains or will contain an assignment of rents and leases. Tenant hereby expressly consents to such assignment and agrees that such assignment shall, in all respects, be superior to any interest Tenant has in the Lease of the Property, subject to the provisions of this Agreement. Tenant will not amend, alter or waive any provision of, or consent to the amendment, alteration or waiver of any provision of the Lease without the prior written consent of Mortgagee. Tenant shall not prepay any rents or other sums due under the lease for more than one (1) month in advance of the due date therefor. Tenant acknowledges that Mortgagee will rely upon this instrument in connection with such financing.
B. Mortgagee, in making any disbursements to Landlord, is under no obligation or duty to oversee or direct the application of the proceeds of such disbursements, and such proceeds may be used by Landlord for purposes other than improvement of the Property.
C. From and after the date hereof, in the event of any act or omission by Landlord which would give Tenant the right, either immediately or after the lapse of time, to terminate the Lease or to claim a partial or total eviction, Tenant will not exercise any such right (i) until it has given written notice of such act or omission to the Mortgagee; and (ii) until the same period of time as is given to Landlord under the Lease to cure such act or omission shall have elapsed following such giving of notice to Mortgagee and following the time when Mortgagee shall have become entitled under the Mortgage to remedy the same, but in any event 30 days after receipt of such notice or such longer period of time as may be necessary to cure or remedy such default, act, or omission including such period of time necessary to obtain possession of the Property and thereafter cure such default, act, or omission, during which period of time Mortgagee shall be permitted to cure or remedy such default, act or omission; provided, however, that Mortgagee shall have no duty or obligation to cure or remedy any breach or default. It is specifically agreed that Tenant shall not, as to Mortgagee, require cure of any such default which is personal to Landlord, and therefore not susceptible to cure by Mortgagee.
D. In the event that Mortgagee notifies Tenant of a default under the Mortgage, Note, or Security Documents and demands that Tenant pay its rent and all other sums due under the
Lease directly to Mortgagee, Tenant shall honor such demand and pay the full amount of its rent and all other sums due under the Lease directly to Mortgagee, without offset (except to the extent permitted under the Lease), or as otherwise required pursuant to such notice beginning with the payment next due after such notice of default, without inquiry as to whether a default actually exists under the Mortgage, Security Documents or otherwise in connection with the Note, and notwithstanding any contrary instructions of or demands from Landlord.
E. Tenant shall send a copy of any notice or statement under the Lease to Mortgagee at the same time such notice or statement is sent to Landlord if such notice or statement has a material impact on the economic terms, operating covenants or duration of the Lease.
F. Tenant has no right or option of any nature whatsoever, whether pursuant to the Lease or otherwise, to purchase the Premises or the Property, or any portion thereof or any interest therein, and to the extent that Tenant has had, or hereafter acquires, any such right or option, same is hereby acknowledged to be subject and subordinate to the Mortgage and is hereby waived and released as against Mortgagee and New Owner.
G. This Agreement satisfies any condition or requirement in the Lease relating to the granting of a non-disturbance agreement and Tenant waives any requirement to the contrary in the Lease.
H. Mortgagee and any New Owner shall have no liability to Tenant or any other party for any conflict between the provisions of the Lease and the provisions of any other lease affecting the Property, including, but not limited to, any provisions relating to exclusive or non-conforming uses or rights, renewal options and options to expand, and in the event of such a conflict, Tenant shall have no right to cancel the Lease or take any other remedial action against Mortgagee or New Owner, or against any other party for which Mortgagee or any New Owner would be liable.
I. Mortgagee and any New Owner shall have no obligation nor incur any liability with respect to any warranties of any nature whatsoever, whether pursuant to the Lease or otherwise, including, without limitation, any warranties respecting use, compliance with zoning, Landlord’s title, Landlord’s authority, habitability, fitness for purpose or possession.
J. In the event that Mortgagee or any New Owner shall acquire title to the Premises or the Property, Mortgagee or such New Owner shall have no obligation, nor incur any liability, beyond Mortgagee’s or New Owner’s then equity interest, if any, in the Property or the Premises, and Tenant shall look exclusively to such equity interest of Mortgagee or New Owner, if any, for the payment and discharge of any obligations imposed upon Mortgagee or New Owner hereunder or under the Lease or for recovery of any judgment from Mortgagee, or New Owner, and in no event shall Mortgagee, New Owner, nor any of their respective officers, directors, shareholders, agents, representatives, servants, employees or partners ever be personally liable for such judgment.
K. Tenant has never permitted, and will not permit, the generation, treatment, storage or disposal of any hazardous substance as defined under federal, state, or local law, on the Premises or Property except for such substances of a type and only in a quantity normally used in
connection with the occupancy or operation of buildings (such as non-flammable cleaning fluids and supplies normally used in the day to day operation of first class establishments similar to the Improvements), which substances are being held, stored, and used in strict compliance with federal, state, and local laws. Tenant shall be solely responsible for and shall reimburse and indemnify Landlord, New Owner or Mortgagee, as applicable, for any loss, liability, claim or expense, including without limitation, cleanup and all other expenses, including, without limitation, legal fees that Landlord, New Owner or Mortgagee, as applicable, may incur by reason of Tenant’s violation of the requirements of this Paragraph 5(K).
6. Acknowledgment and Agreement by Landlord. Landlord, as landlord under the Lease and grantor under the Mortgage, acknowledges and agrees for itself and its heirs, representatives, successors and assigns, that: (a) this Agreement does not constitute a waiver by Mortgagee of any of its rights under the Mortgage, Note, or Security Documents, or in any way release Landlord from its obligations to comply with the terms, provisions, conditions, covenants, agreements and clauses of the Mortgage, Note, or Security Documents; (b) the provisions of the Mortgage, Note, or Security Documents remain in full force and effect and must be complied with by Landlord; and (c) Tenant is hereby authorized to pay its rent and all other sums due under the Lease directly to Mortgagee upon receipt of a notice as set forth in paragraph 5(d) above from Mortgagee and that Tenant is not obligated to inquire as to whether a default actually exists under the Mortgage, Security Documents or otherwise in connection with the Note. Landlord hereby releases and discharges Tenant of and from any liability to Landlord resulting from Tenant’s payment to Mortgagee in accordance with this Agreement. Landlord represents and warrants to Mortgagee that a true and complete copy of the Lease has been delivered by Landlord to Mortgagee.
7. Lease Status. Landlord and Tenant certify to Mortgagee that neither Landlord nor Tenant has knowledge of any default on the part of the other under the Lease, that the Lease is bona fide and contains all of the agreements of the parties thereto with respect to the letting of the Premises and that all of the agreements and provisions therein contained are in full force and effect.
8. Notices. All notices, requests, consents, demands and other communications required or which any party desires to give hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed sufficiently given or furnished if delivered by personal delivery, by telegram, telex, or facsimile, by expedited delivery service with proof of delivery, or by registered or certified United States mail, postage prepaid, at the addresses specified at the end of this Agreement (unless changed by similar notice in writing given by the particular party whose address is to be changed). Any such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been given either at the time of personal delivery or, in the case of delivery service or mail, as of the date of first attempted delivery at the address and in the manner provided herein, or, in the case of telegram, telex or facsimile, upon receipt. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no notice of change of address shall be effective except upon receipt. This Paragraph 8 shall not be construed in any way to affect or impair any waiver of notice or demand provided in this Agreement or in the Lease or in any document evidencing, securing or pertaining to the loan evidenced by the Note or to require giving of notice or demand to or upon any person in any situation or for any reason.
9. Miscellaneous.
A. This Agreement supersedes any inconsistent provision of the Lease.
B. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to derogate from or in any way impair, or affect the lien, security interest or provisions of the Mortgage, Note, or Security Documents.
C. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, their respective successors and permitted assigns, and any New Owner, and its heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns; provided, however, that in the event of the assignment or transfer of the interest of Mortgagee, all obligations and liabilities of the assigning Mortgagee under this Agreement shall terminate, and thereupon all such obligations and liabilities shall be the responsibility of the party to whom Mortgagee’s interest is assigned or transferred; and provided further that the interest of Tenant under this Agreement may not be assigned or transferred without the prior written consent of Mortgagee.
D. THIS AGREEMENT AND ITS VALIDITY, ENFORCEMENT AND INTERPRETATION SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA AND APPLICABLE UNITED STATES FEDERAL LAW EXCEPT ONLY TO THE EXTENT, IF ANY, THAT THE LAWS OF THE STATE IN WHICH THE PROPERTY IS LOCATED NECESSARILY CONTROL.
E. The words “herein”, “hereof, “hereunder” and other similar compounds of the word “here” as used in this Agreement refer to this entire Agreement and not to any particular section or provision.
F. This Agreement may not be modified orally or in any manner other than by an agreement in writing signed by the parties hereto or their respective successors in interest.
G. If any provision of the Agreement shall be held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not apply to or affect any other provision hereof, but this Agreement shall be construed as if such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability did not exist.

SUSTAINABILITY RULES AND REGULATIONS
Landlord desires to reduce the landfill waste stream from the Building, maintain good air quality in the Building, and promote use of environmentally preferred products, conservation of utilities consumption, and environmentally preferred means of transportation to and from the Building. The following Sustainability Rules and Regulations support those objectives and are supplemental to existing Rules and Regulations. If any of the following conflict with existing Rules and Regulations, the following will govern and control.
| 1. | RECYCLING BUILDING STANDARDS: |
The Building policy is to recycle paper, glass, plastics, cardboard (including chipboard such as cereal boxes, and old corrugated cardboard), and metals, to the extent a cost-effective commercial hauler is available, and toner cartridges and all portable dry-cell batteries. Recyclable items may not be placed in trash receptacles. All recycling will be managed by Landlord with commingling or separation as required by the commercial hauler, except that recycling of toner cartridges and portable dry-cell batteries will be each tenant’s responsibility. Options for recycling toner cartridges and portable dry-cell batteries are provided in the appendix to these rules.
Landlord will notify tenant of permitted commingling or required separation of recyclables from time to time, consistent with the capabilities of the commercial hauler. Each tenant must establish clearly labeled designated bins within their space for commingling and separating of recyclables as required. At a minimum, bins for recyclable papers should be located in each copy room or area, and bins for the other recycling should be located in each kitchenette/break room. Tenant, its employees and guests shall comply with requirements for recycling, placing recyclables in appropriate containers and avoiding contamination of recycling containers with items that are not being recycled or are not allowed to be commingled.
| 2. | LIGHTING: |
The Building policy is, to the extent possible without replacement of fixtures that have not reached their useful life and as feasible, to procure, use and recycle lamps (light bulbs) with reduced mercury content. If a tenant is responsible for lamp replacement, whether for hard-wired or portable fixtures, the tenant must purchase lamps with as reduced mercury content as possible and recycle lamps if feasible. If tenant purchases lamps with no mercury, they must be as energy efficient as comparable mercury-containing lamps.
| 3. | USE OF PRODUCTS WITH VOLATILE ORGANIC COMPOUNDS: |
Any work in the Building that requires the use of adhesives, sealants, sealant primers, paints, coatings, primers, carpets, carpet pads, wood and agrifiber products must meet the low or no volatile organic compounds standards provided in the appendix to these rules for that product type, as amended from time to time.
| 4. | CERTIFIED AND ENVIRONMENTALLY PREFERRED CLEANING PRODUCTS: |
Unless provided otherwise in the lease, a tenant shall not employ any persons other than Landlord’s janitors for the purpose of cleaning the Premises without prior written consent of Landlord. If a tenant is permitted or required to perform or cause to be performed any cleaning and/or purchase any cleaning products, the same must comply at all times with applicable Green Seal standards and be a Green Seal (xxxx://xxx.xxxxxxxxx.xxx/xxxxxxxxxxxx/xxxxx.xxx), Environmental Choice (xxxx://xxx.xxxxxxx.xxx/xx/) or U.S. EPA Comprehensive Procurement Guideline (xxxx://xxx.xxx.xxx/xxx/xxxxxxxx.xxx) approved, environmentally preferred product.
| 5. | NO-SMOKING BUILDING STANDARDS: |
Smoking tobacco is prohibited within the Building and allowed outside the Building only in Landlord designated areas which are at least 25 feet away from Building entries, outdoor air intakes and operable windows. All other areas, including tenant spaces, sidewalks, entrances, bathrooms, elevators, vestibules, stairways, corridors and other public parts of the Building are smoke-free areas.
| 6. | BUILDING STANDARDS FOR ALTERATIONS AND CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES: |
All alteration and construction activities affecting more than one room and utilizing more than one trade shall be conducted under an Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) Best Management Practices: Management for Facility Alterations and Additions established and implemented in accordance with the requirements LEED for Existing Buildings (January 2008) EQ Credit 1.5, as amended from time to time. Reasonable efforts shall be made in connection with such alteration and construction activities to meet or exceed the requirements for Sustainable Purchasing: Facility Alterations and Additions and for Solid Waste Management: Facility Alterations and Additions of LEED for Existing Buildings (January 2008) MR Credits 3 and 9, as amended from time to time. See xxx.xxxxx.xxx/XxxxXxxx.xxxx?XxxxxxxxXXx0000 for details.
| 7. | SUSTAINABILITY PRACTICES AND BENCHMARKING: |
Landlord may request from time to time, and tenant shall promptly provide, documentation of compliance with sustainability rules and regulations for verification and benchmarking building-wide performance. Upon request, a tenant shall also promptly provide Landlord with copies of or access to billing information for any utilities billed directly to tenant by a utility company so that Landlord may complete and maintain benchmarking of the building to the national EnergyStar program.
| 8. | PARKING: |
Landlord may establish preferred parking spaces reserved for car/van pool vehicles or for low-emitting and fuel-efficient vehicles, which shall mean vehicles that are either classified as Zero Emission Vehicles by the California Air Resources Board or have a green score of at least 40 on the American Council Tor an Energy Efficient Economy annual vehicle rating guide. Tenant and its employees are prohibited from parking in any preferred parking spaces unless vehicle being parked satisfies the requirements for use of same.

Appendix
Tenant guidelines for recycling toner cartridges and portable dry cell batteries:
| • | Toner cartridges may not be disposed of for trash hauling and must be recycled by tenants either through a supplier’s take-back program (for more information see xxxx://xxx.xxxxxxxx.xxx/XXXX/xxxx_xxxxxxxx_xxxxxxxx/xxx_xxxxxxxx/xxxxxxxxxxxxx0.xxx) or an independent recycler such as: |
| ¡ | http ://xxx.xxxxxxx0xxxx.xxx/xxxxx.xxxx |
| ¡ | xxxx://xxx.xxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx |
| ¡ | xxxx://xx.xxxxxxx0xxxxxxx.xxx/xxxxx.xxx?xxxx0000&xxxxxX0000XX0-0X00-0000-0000-00X00X0000XX |
| ¡ | xxxx://xxx.xxxxxxxxx.xxx/XxxxxXxxxxxx00.xxx |
A google search of “recycling toner cartridges” will provide a tenant with additional options for cash or charitable donations programs for recycling toner cartridges.
| • | Dry-cell batteries must be recycled or otherwise disposed of in compliance with law. You may not dispose of dry-cell batteries for trash hauling. To find a recycler nearest to you go to xxxx://xxx.xxxx.xxx/xxxx0.xxx?XXXxxxxx%0X%0X%0Xxxx.xxxxx000 .org/master.asp? s=ls&serviceid=126 and enter “batteries” and your zip code in the search boxes provided at the top of the page.
