TERM; TERMINATION
(a) The
term of this Lease shall commence on the date set forth as the Rent Commencement
Date in the Fundamental Lease Provisions, provided the Premises are "ready for
occupancy" (as that term is defined in Section 7 hereof), but if the Premises
are not ready for occupancy on such date then the term shall commence on the
date which is seven (7) days after the mailing of notice by Landlord to Tenant
that the Premises are "ready for occupancy". The term shall be for
the period set forth in the Fundamental Lease Provisions, plus, if the Rent
Commencement Date shall not be the first day of a month, the part of a month
from the date of the Rent Commencement Date to the last day of the calendar
month in which it occurs. Each of the parties hereto agrees upon demand of the
other, to execute a declaration expressing the commencement date of the term as
soon as the commencement date has been

permitted to take possession prior to the Rent Commencement Date, Tenant shall
comply with all terms and conditions of the Lease other than payment of Basic

Tenant to terminate the same, and Tenant hereby waives notice to vacate the

provisions of law respecting the summary recovery of possession of premises from
a tenant holding over to the same extent as if statutory notice had been
given. For the period of four (4) months prior to the expiration of
the term, or any renewal or extension thereof, and provided that Tenant has not
provided Landlord with notice of Tenant’s intent to exercise its option to renew
pursuant to the terms and conditions below, Landlord shall have the right to
show the Premises and all parts hereof to prospective tenants during normal
business hours.
(c) At
the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall, at Tenant's
expense, remove all of Tenant's personal property and repair all injury done to
the Premises or any part of the Premises by or in connection with the
installation or removal of said property, and surrender the Premises, broom

reasonable wear and tear excepted. All property of Tenant remaining
on the Premises after the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease shall
be conclusively deemed abandoned and at Landlord's option, may be retained by
Landlord, or may be removed by Landlord, and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for
the cost of such removal. Landlord may have any such property stored at Tenant's
risk and expense.
(d) Option
to Renew. So long as Tenant is not in default of its obligations
hereunder, Landlord hereby agrees that Tenant shall have two (2) separate
options to renew the term of this Lease for a term of five (5) years each,
provided that Tenant notifies Landlord of its exercise of such option(s) no
later than seven (7) months prior to the expiration date of the then current
term. Such renewal shall be on the same terms and conditions set
forth in the Lease, except that Annual Basic Rental shall be set at the then
current rent established by Landlord for the Premises. Tenant shall
execute any renewal form required by Landlord in order to preserve Landlord's
rights and remedies under the lease, as renewed.
Within
thirty (30) days following receipt of Tenant's exercise of its option, Landlord
shall advise Tenant of the Annual Basic Rental which will be charged for the
renewal term. Tenant shall have a period of fifteen (15) days within
which to notify Landlord, in writing, of its election to revoke its option, in
which event the term of the Lease shall expire as though no option to renew had
been exercised by Tenant. Should Tenant fail to so notify Landlord of
its election to revoke the exercise of its option, the option shall be effective
and the Annual Basic Rental shall be that set forth in Landlord's notice to
Tenant.

area.

Premises.
(c) Any
approval by Landlord or Landlord's architects and/or engineers of any of
Tenant's drawings, plans and specifications which are prepared in connection

in any way be construed or operate to bind Landlord or to constitute a
representation or warranty of Landlord as to the adequacy or sufficiency of such
drawings, plans and specifications or the improvements to which they relate, for
any use, purpose, or condition but such approval shall merely be the consent of
Landlord as may be required hereunder in connection with Tenant's construction

Tenant in equal monthly (or other periodic) installments in advance in such

11. FIXTURES, EQUIPMENT AND
APPURTENANCES
All fixtures, equipment, improvements
and appurtenances attached to or built into the Premises prior to or during the
term of this Lease, whether by Landlord at its expense or at the expense of
Tenant or by Tenant, shall be and remain part of the Premises and shall not be
removed by Tenant at the end of the term unless otherwise expressly provided in
this Lease. All electrical, telephone, communication,
radio, plumbing, heating and sprinkling systems, fixtures and outlets, vaults,
paneling, molding, shelving, ventilating, silencing, air-conditioning and
cooling equipment, shall be deemed to be included in such fixtures, equipment
and improvements and appurtenances, whether or not attached to or built into the

fixtures, carpets, drinking or tap water facilities, furniture, or trade
fixtures or business equipment shall not be deemed to be included in such
fixtures, equipment, improvements and appurtenances and may be, and upon the
request of Landlord shall be, removed by Tenant upon the condition that such
removal shall not materially damage the Premises or the Center and that the cost

in the Premises at the time of such termination to secure Landlord's rights
under Section 26 hereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, if there is then no Event of Default, Tenant may remove
from the Premises any trade fixtures, equipment, and movable furniture placed in
the Premises by Tenant, whether or not the trade fixtures or equipment are
fastened to the Premises. Tenant will not remove any trade fixtures or equipment
without Landlord's prior written consent if the trade fixtures or equipment are
used in the operation of the Center or if the removal of the fixtures or
equipment will impair the structure of the Center. Whether or not there is then
an Event of Default, Tenant will remove the alterations, additions,
improvements, trade fixtures, equipment, and furniture as Landlord has requested
in accordance with Section 12 below. Tenant will fully
repair any damage occasioned by the removal of any trade fixtures, equipment,
furniture, alterations, additions, and improvements. All trade fixtures,
equipment, furniture, alterations, additions, improvements and other personal
property not removed will conclusively be deemed to have been abandoned by
Tenant and may be appropriated, sold, stored, destroyed, or otherwise disposed
of by Landlord without notice to Tenant or to any other person and without
obligation to account for them. Tenant will pay Landlord all expenses
incurred in connection with Landlord's disposition of such property, including
without limitation the cost of repairing any damage to the Center or the
Premises caused by removal of such property, and will hold Landlord harmless
from loss, liability, or expense arising from the claims of third parties such
as lenders whose loans are secured by such property.

12. ALTERATIONS AND IMPROVEMENTS BY
TENANT
(a) Tenant
shall make no alterations, decorations, installations, removals, additions or
improvements in or to the Premises after the commencement of the term without
Landlord's prior written consent which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld and then only by contractors or mechanics approved by
Landlord. Any contractors selected by Tenant shall be required to
work in harmony with Landlord’s contractors and sub-contractors. No
installation or work shall be undertaken or begun by Tenant until Landlord has
approved written plans and specifications therefor; and no amendments or
additions to such plans and specifications shall be made without the prior
written consent of Landlord. Any such work, alterations or
decorations, installations, removals, additions and improvements shall be done
at Tenant's sole expense and at such time and in such manner as Landlord may
from time to time designate. If Tenant shall make any alterations,
decorations, installations, or removals, additions or improvements, then
Landlord may elect to require Tenant at the expiration of this Lease to restore
the Premises to substantially the same condition as existed at the commencement
of the term hereof.
(b) Any
approval by Landlord or Landlord's architects and/or engineers of any of
Tenant's drawings, plans and specifications which are prepared in connection
with any improvements or alterations in the Premises shall not in any way be
construed or operate to bind Landlord or to constitute a representation or
warranty of Landlord as to the adequacy or sufficiency of such drawings, plans
and specifications or the improvements to which they relate, for any use,
purpose, or condition but such approval shall merely be the consent of Landlord
as may be required hereunder in connection with Tenant's construction of
improvements in the Premises in accordance with such drawings, plans and
specifications under the terms of this Lease.
(c) Prior
to any work being performed by Tenant pursuant to this Section 12, Tenant shall
cause all contractors and subcontractors performing such work to file a waiver
of mechanics' liens in the appropriate filing office for the county in which the
Center is located.
(d) In
the event any lien shall at any time be filed against the Premises or against
any part of the Center by reason of work, labor, or services performed or
alleged to have been performed, or materials furnished or alleged to have been
furnished by for or to Tenant or to anyone holding the Premises through or under
Tenant, Tenant shall forthwith cause the same to be discharged of record or
bonded to the satisfaction of Landlord. If Tenant shall fail to cause such lien
forthwith to be so discharged or bonded after being notified of the filing
thereof, then, in addition to any other right or remedy of Landlord, Landlord
may discharge the same by paying the amount claimed to be due, and the amount so
paid by Landlord and all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney's
fees incurred by Landlord in procuring the discharge of such lien, shall be due
and payable by Tenant to Landlord as additional rent on the first day of the
next following month.
11

AND ADVERTISING
Tenant
will not place or suffer to be placed or maintained on the exterior of the
Premises or the Center any sign, advertising matter or other thing of any kind,
and will not place or maintain any decoration, lettering or advertising matter
on any door or window of the Premises without first obtaining Landlord's written
approval thereof which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld. Tenant further agrees to maintain such sign, decoration,
lettering, advertising matter or other thing as may be approved in good
condition and repair at all times. Tenant shall have the right to a
sign on the Center pylon in space equal to that provided to other tenants other
than Major Tenants (defined as tenants whose leased premises consists of 15,000

labor, or by reason of any other cause beyond its control, without liability
therefor or any abatement of rent being due thereby. The obligations
of Landlord contained in this Section 14 (a) shall be performed at the expense
of Landlord (subject to reimbursement by tenants as provided elsewhere in this
Lease), except to the extent that any such obligation arises from the negligence
or wrongful act or failure to act of Tenant, its officers, agents, employees,
contractors or sub-contractors, or from any act or failure to act of Tenant,
which is contrary to the terms and provisions of this Lease, in either of which
case, Tenant shall bear the expense of the performance of such obligation by
Landlord.
(b) Landlord,
its agents, employees and contractors shall have the right to enter the Premises
at all reasonable times for the purpose of making inspections or to install,
maintain, repair or replace electrical, mechanical, plumbing, heating,

manner as not to unreasonably disrupt Tenant's normal business
operations.
15. REPAIRS
BY TENANT
(a) Tenant
shall be responsible for all repairs or replacements required to be made to the
Premises, including without limitation, HVAC, other utility systems and
sprinklers, except and solely to the extent such repairs or replacements are

Section 19 below. Without limiting the foregoing Tenant shall keep
the Premises clean and neat and in good order, making all necessary replacements
and/or repairs and will surrender the Premises in as good condition as when

suit resulting directly or indirectly from such moving.

will keep in force at its expense as long as this Lease remains in effect and
during such other time as Tenant occupies the Premises or any part thereof
comprehensive general liability insurance including broad form endorsement, with
respect to the Premises with a $1,000,000.00 combined single limit; and "all
risk" insurance on Tenant's personal property, including trade fixtures, floor

Tenant will further deposit the policy or policies of such insurance or
certificates thereof with Landlord, which policies shall name Landlord. its
managing agent, lender and/or its or their designee(s) as additional
named insured, and shall also contain a provision stating that such policy or
policies shall not be canceled except after ten (10) days' written notice to
Landlord. All such insurance shall be in companies and in form
acceptable to Landlord. If the nature of Tenant's business is such as
to place all or any of its employees under the coverage of local workmen's
compensation or similar statutes, Tenant shall also keep in force, at its
expense, so long as this Lease remains in effect and during such other times as
Tenant occupies the Premises or any part thereof, workmen's compensation or
similar insurance affording statutory coverage and containing statutory
limits. If Tenant shall not comply with its covenants made in this
Section 16, Landlord may cause insurance as aforesaid to be issued, and in such
event Tenant agrees to pay, as additional rent, the premium for such insurance
upon Landlord's demand.
17. INDEMNITY
BY LANDLORD AND TENANT; EXONERATION
(a) Tenant
will indemnify Landlord and save Landlord harmless from and against any and all
claims, actions, damages, liability and expense, including attorney's fees and
other professional fees connection with loss of life, personal injury and/or
damage to property arising from or out of the occupancy or use by Tenant of the
Premises or any part thereof or any other part of the Center occasioned wholly
or in part by any act or omission of Tenant, its officers, employees, agents or
contractors.
(b) To
the maximum extent permitted by law, Tenant agrees to use and occupy the
Premises and such other portions of the Center as Tenant is permitted to use at
Tenant's own risk; and Landlord shall have no responsibility for any injury to
persons, or loss of or damage to property, sustained or occurring in or on the
Premises, or occurring elsewhere (other than in the Premises) in or about the
Center; and in particular, not limiting the generality of the foregoing,
Landlord shall have no responsibility for injury to persons for loss of, or
damage to, property sustained or occurring on or about the stairways, public
corridors, sidewalks,
13
parking
areas, roads or other appurtenances and facilities used in connection with the
Center or the Premises arising out of the use or occupancy of the Center or the
Premises by Tenant, or by any person claiming by, through or under Tenant, on
account or based upon the act, omission, fault, negligence or misconduct of any
person or persons other than Landlord and those for whose conduct Landlord is
legally responsible.
(c) Landlord
shall not be liable for any injury or damage to persons or property resulting
from fire, explosion, falling plaster, steam, gas, electricity,
electrical disturbance, water, rain or snow or leaks from any part of the Center
or from the pipes, appliances or plumbing works or from the roof, street or
subsurface or from any other place or caused by dampness or by any other cause
of whatever nature, unless caused by or due to the negligence of Landlord, its
officers, employees, agents or contractors, and then only after (i) notice to
Landlord of the conditions claimed to constitute negligence and (ii) the
expiration of a reasonable time after such notice has been received by Landlord
without such conditions having been cured or corrected, and in no event shall
Landlord or its agent be liable for any such damage caused by other tenants or
persons in the Center or caused by operations in construction of any
private, public or quasi-public work; nor shall Landlord be liable for any
latent defect in the Premises or in the Center.
(d) It
is the intention of the parties that the provisions of this Section 17 shall
require Tenant to indemnify and hold Landlord harmless with regard to acts,

requiring or permitting contribution or indemnity as set forth in Section 481
(b) of the Pennsylvania Xxxxxxx'x Compensation Act, or any successor
statute.
(e) Landlord will indemnify Tenant, its
officers, directors, members, shareholders, partners, lenders, agents, and
employees against, and hold them harmless from, any and all demands, claims,
causes of action, fines, penalties, damages (including without limitation
consequential damages), losses, liabilities, judgments, and expenses (including
without limitation attorneys’ fees and court costs) arising in the Common
Areas.
18.
INCREASE IN INSURANCE PREMIUMS; WAIVER OF SUBROGATION
(a) Tenant
will not do or suffer to be done or keep or suffer to be kept, anything in, upon
or about the Premises which will contravene Landlord's policies insuring against
loss or damage by fire or other hazards (including, without limitation, public
liability) or which will prevent Landlord from procuring such policies in
companies acceptable to Landlord. If anything done, omitted to be
done or suffered by Tenant to be kept, in, upon or about the Premises shall
cause the rate of fire or other insurance on the Premises or on other property
of Landlord or of others in the Center to be increased beyond the minimum rate
from time to time applicable to the Premises, or to any such property for the
use or uses made thereof, Tenant shall pay, as additional rent, the amount of
any such increase upon Landlord's demand.
(b) Landlord
shall cause each insurance policy carried by it insuring the Center
against loss by fire or any of the casualties covered by standard extended
coverage to be written in such a manner as to provide that the insurer waives
all right of recovery by way of subrogation against Tenant in connection with
any loss or damage covered by the policy. Tenant will cause each
insurance policy carried by it insuring the Premises as well as the contents
thereof, including trade fixtures and personal property, against loss by fire or
any of the casualties covered by standard extended coverage to be written in
such a manner as to provide that the insurer waives all right of recovery by way
of subrogation against Landlord in connection with any loss or damage covered by
the policy. Neither party hereto shall be liable to the other for any
loss or damage caused by fire or any of the casualties covered by standard
extended coverage, which loss or damage is covered by the insurance policies
maintained by the other party, provided that such policies are not invalidated
by such waiver; and, provided, further, that if either party shall be unable to
obtain the waiver of subrogation required
14
by this
Section without additional premiums therefor, then unless the party claiming the
benefit of such waiver shall agree to pay such party for the cost of such
additional premium within thirty (30) days after notice of the statement setting
forth such requirement and the amount of additional premium, such waiver shall
be of no force and effect between such party and the claiming
party. It is agreed that should either party fail to procure such
waiver, if available without additional cost (or if available at additional cost
and the other party has agreed to pay such additional premium), it will pay to
the other in liquidated damages all monies to which any subrogor hereunder
becomes entitled and the cost of reasonable legal defense of any claims for
subrogating.
19. FIRE
OR OTHER CASUALTY
(a) If
the Premises or any part thereof shall be damaged by fire or other casualty
insured by Landlord and Tenant shall have given prompt written notice thereof to
Landlord, Landlord shall (subject to the subsections 19 (b) or (c) hereof)
proceed with reasonable diligence to repair or cause to be repaired such damage
(but in no event shall Landlord be obligated to expend an amount in excess of
the net proceeds of insurance made available) and if the Premises, or any part
thereof, shall be rendered untenantable by reason of such damage, and such
damage shall not be due to the fault of Tenant, its agents, contractors,
employees, guests, invitees or licensees, the Annual Basic Rental, or an amount
thereof apportioned according to the number of square feet of floor space of the
Premises so rendered untenantable (if less than the entire Premises shall be so
rendered untenantable), shall be abated for the period from the date of such
damage to the date when the damage shall have been repaired as aforesaid;
provided, however, that if Landlord shall make available to Tenant during the
period of repair, other space in the Center reasonably suitable for the
temporary carrying on of Tenant's business, there shall be no such abatement of
Annual Basic Rental. If Landlord or any mortgagee of the Center shall be unable
to collect the insurance proceeds (including rent insurance proceeds) applicable
to such damage because of some action or inaction on the part of Tenant, or the
agents, contractors, employees, guests, invitees or licensees of Tenant, the
cost of repairing such damage shall be paid by Tenant and there shall be no
abatement of rent.
(b) Landlord
shall not be liable for any inconvenience or annoyance to Tenant or injury to
the business of Tenant resulting in any way from damage from fire or other
casualty or the repair thereof. Tenant understands that Landlord will
not carry insurance of any kind on Tenant's improvements, alterations, stock in
trade, furniture or furnishings or on any fixtures or equipment removable by
Tenant under the provisions of this Lease, and that Landlord shall not be
obligated to repair any damage thereto or replace the same.
(c) Notwithstanding
subparagraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 19, if:
(i) the
Center shall be so damaged by such fire or other casualty that substantial
alteration or reconstruction of the Center shall, in Landlord's opinion, be
required (whether or not the Premises shall have been damaged by such fire or
other casualty), or
(ii) the
Premises are totally or substantially damaged or rendered wholly or
substantially untenantable, or
(iii) the
Premises shall be damaged in whole or in part by such fire or other casualty
during the last one year of the term or any extension thereof which has been
exercised prior to the date of such casualty, or
(iv) the
proceeds of insurance made available to Landlord are insufficient to pay for the
costs of repairing the damage, and Landlord elects not to repair such
damage,
15
then and
in any such event, Landlord may, at its option, by giving written notice to
Tenant within forty-five (45) days after the date of such damage, terminate this
Lease and Tenant's estate hereunder, as of the date of such termination
specified in such notice. The effect of such termination shall be the
same as if the date specified in the notice were the date hereinbefore set for
the end of the Term and the Annual Basic Rental and additional rental hereunder
shall be apportioned as of such date.
(d) Notwithstanding
anything contained herein to the contrary the Rent will be abated proportionately
during any period in which, by reason of any damage or destruction not
occasioned by the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or Tenant's
employees or invitees, there is a substantial interference with the operation of
the business of Tenant. The abatement will be proportional to the
area of the Premises that Tenant may be required to discontinue for the conduct
of its business. The abatement will continue for the period
commencing with the destruction or damage and ending with the completion by the
Landlord of the work, repair, or reconstruction that Landlord is obligated to
do.
20.
CONDEMNATION
(a) If
the whole or any part of the Premises shall be taken under the power of eminent
domain, this Lease shall terminate as to the part so taken on the date Tenant is
required to yield possession thereof to the condemning
authority. Landlord shall make such repairs and alterations as may be
necessary in order to restore the part not taken to useful condition and the
Annual Basic Rental shall be reduced proportionately as to the portion of the
Premises so taken. If the portion of the Premises so taken renders
the balance of the Premises untenantable, taking into account the nature of
Tenant's business, either party may terminate this Lease as of the date when
Tenant is required to yield possession. If twenty-five percent (25%)
or more of the total rentable floor area of the Center or the parking areas
located in the Center are taken as aforesaid, then Landlord may terminate this
Lease as of the date of the taking. All compensation awarded for any
taking of the leasehold and/or the improvements thereon shall belong to and be
the property of Landlord; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall
prevent Tenant from applying for reimbursement from the condemning authority (if
permitted by law) for moving expenses, or removal of Tenant's furniture,
business equipment and such fixtures as Tenant is permitted to remove hereunder,
but if and only if such action shall not reduce the amount of compensation
otherwise recoverable by Landlord from the condemning authority.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, Tenant will have the right to claim and
recover from the taking authority, but not from Landlord, such compensation as
may be separately awarded or recoverable by Tenant in Tenant's own right on
account of
(i) any and all costs
or loss (including loss of business) that Tenant incurs in removing Tenant's
merchandise, furniture, fixtures, leasehold improvements, and equipment to a new
location,
(ii) the taking of
personal property and fixtures owned by Tenant,
(iii) the unamortized
portion of any real property improvements made to the Premises by Tenant at
Tenant's sole cost and expense,
(iv) any loss of
goodwill, and
(v) the value of
Tenant's leasehold estate.
16
21. MARKETING
FUND AND PROMOTION OF CENTER
Landlord
has established or may establish an advertising and promotional service (herein
the "Marketing Service") to furnish and maintain advertising and sales
promotions which, in Landlord's judgment, will benefit the
Center. Landlord has established, or may establish, a fund (the
"Marketing Service Fund") to be used by Landlord to pay all costs and expenses
of the Marketing Service (including administrative costs and
insurance). In such event, Tenant shall pay each month, as additional
rent, and as its contribution to the Marketing Service Fund, an amount
established by Landlord, which shall not be in excess of ten percent (2%) of the
Annual Basic Rental payable by Tenant for such month.
22. ASSIGNMENT,
MORTGAGING AND SUBLETTING
(a) Tenant
covenants and agrees that neither this Lease nor the terms and estate hereby
granted, nor any interest herein or therein, will be assigned, mortgaged,
pledged, encumbered or otherwise transferred, and that neither the Premises, or
any part thereof, will be encumbered in any manner by reason of any act or
omission on the part of Tenant, or used or occupied, or permitted to be used or
occupied by anyone other than Tenant, or for any purpose other than as stated in
the Fundamental Lease Provisions hereof, or be sublet, or offered or advertised
for subletting, without the prior written consent of Landlord in every case,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Tenant
shall be responsible for all costs incurred by Landlord in considering and
documenting any requested assignment or sublease, as well as Landlord's legal
fees not to exceed $1,000. Consent by Landlord to any
assignment, mortgaging or subletting shall not constitute a waiver of the
necessity for such consent for any subsequent assignment, mortgaging or
subletting. This prohibition includes any assignment, encumbrancing
or subletting which would otherwise occur by operation of law, merger,
consolidation, reorganization, transfer or other change of Tenant's
corporate or proprietary structure, stock or equity. However,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Tenant may encumber,
assign, sell or otherwise convey up to 50 percent of Tenant’s stock or equity
without being required to obtain written consent from Landlord.
(b) No
assignment, subletting or licensing shall affect or reduce the liability of
Tenant for the performance of the terms and provisions hereof.
(c) Tenant
agrees that if a sublease is secured on the Premises and the rental rate under
such sublease is greater than the rental rate hereunder, or if this Lease shall
be assigned, and Tenant shall receive consideration in exchange for such
assignment, Landlord shall receive fifty percent (50%) of this increased rental
or consideration. If a sublease or assignment is executed, then any
options to extend this Lease shall be voided, unless Landlord, in its sole
discretion, shall agree to the contrary.
(d) In
addition to Landlord=s right to
approve or disapprove a proposed sublease or assignment, as hereinbefore set
forth, Landlord shall have the right, to be exercised by giving notice to Tenant
within thirty (30) days after receipt of Tenant=s notice as
aforesaid, to recapture the Premises, or portion thereof, described in the
proposed sublease or assignment. If notice of recapture is given, it
shall serve to cancel and terminate this Lease with respect to the proposed
sublease space, or, in the case of a proposed assignment, it shall serve to
cancel and terminate the entire Term of this Lease, in either case as of the
proposed effective date of any assignment or sublet and as fully and completely
as if that date had been definitely fixed as the expiration of the Term of this
Lease; provided, however, that no termination of this Lease with respect to all
or part of the Premises shall become effective without the prior written
consent, where necessary, of the holder of each mortgage to which this Lease is
then subject. If this Lease be cancelled pursuant to the terms hereof
with respect to less than the entire Premises, the Rent shall be adjusted on the
basis of the proportion of the gross rentable square footage retained by Tenant
to the gross rentable square footage originally demised and the lease so amended
shall continue thereafter in full force and effect. The failure of
Landlord to exercise its right of recapture shall not be construed in any manner
to be an approval of Tenant=s request to
assign or sublet, such approval to be effective only if given in writing by
Landlord to Tenant.

(a) Tenant

the satisfaction of Landlord within five (5) days after delivery thereof,
Landlord may, in addition to any rights or remedies provided hereunder or at
law, enter upon the Premises without terminating this Lease and do the things

immediately enter the Premises to correct any situation which, in the sole
discretion of Landlord, is deemed to be of an emergency
nature. Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant for any loss or
damages resulting in any way from such action by Landlord, and Tenant agrees to
pay promptly upon demand any expense incurred by Landlord in taking such
action. Tenant will provide Landlord with a key to allow entry to the
Premises for this purpose.

option of Landlord, in addition to all remedies Landlord may have at law or in
equity,
(i) The
whole balance of rent and any other charges, whether or not payable as rent, for
the entire balance of the term and any renewal or extension thereof for which
Tenant has become bound, or any part of such rent and charges, and also all or
any costs and sheriff's, marshall's, constable's or other officials'
commissions, whether chargeable to Landlord or Tenant, including watchman's
wages, shall be taken to be due and payable and in arrears as if by the terms of
this Lease said balance of rent and such other charges and expenses were on that
date payable in advance.
19
(ii) The
term of this Lease shall terminate and become absolutely void, without notice
and without any right on the part of Tenant to save the forfeiture by payment of
any sum due or by other performance of any condition, term, agreement or
covenant broken.
(iii) THE
FOLLOWING SECTIONS SET FORTH WARRANTS OF AUTHORITY FOR ANY ATTORNEY TO CONFESS
JUDGMENT AGAINST THE TENANT, AND TO HAVE TENANT'S PROPERTY SEIZED OR OTHERWISE
SUBJECTED TO ATTACHMENT OR OTHER EXECUTION PROCESS IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE
CONFESSED JUDGMENT IS ENTERED. IN GRANTING THESE WARRANTS OF
ATTORNEY, TENANT REPRESENTS TO LANDLORD THAT TENANT HAS HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO
CONSULT WITH LEGAL COUNSEL ABOUT THIS MATTER, AND ACTS KNOWINGLY, INTENTIONALLY
AND VOLUNTARILY, AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHTS THE TENANT HAS OR
MAY HAVE TO PRIOR NOTICE AND AN OPPORTUNITY FOR HEARING UNDER THE RESPECTIVE
CONSTITUTIONS OF AND LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND THE COMMONWEALTH
OF PENNSYLVANIA.
(B) Upon
the expiration of the then current term of this Lease or the earlier termination
or surrender hereof as provided in this Lease, it shall be lawful for any
attorney of any Court of record to appear as attorney for Tenant, as well as for
all persons claiming by, through or under Tenant, and to enter in any competent
Court an action in ejectment against Tenant and all persons claiming by, through
or under Tenant and therein confess judgment for the recovery by Landlord of
possession of the Premises, for which a copy of this Lease, verified by
affidavit, shall be sufficient warrant, whereupon if Landlord so desires a writ
of possession or other appropriate writ under the Rules of Civil Procedure then
in effect may issue forthwith, without any prior writ or proceedings; provided,
however, if this Lease is terminated and the possession of the Premises remain
in or be restored to Tenant, Landlord shall have the right for the same default
and upon any subsequent default or defaults, or upon the termination of this
Lease under any of the terms of the Lease to bring one or more further action or
actions as hereinbefore set forth to recover possession of the Premises as
provided above.
(C)
In any action of ejectment, Landlord shall first cause to be filed in such
action, an affidavit made by him, or someone acting for him, setting forth the
facts necessary to authorize the entry of judgment and, if a true copy of this
Lease (and of the truth of the copy such affidavit shall be sufficient evidence)
be filed in such action, it shall not be necessary to file the original as a
warrant of attorney, any rule of Court, custom or practice to the contrary
notwithstanding.
(iv) If
proceedings shall be commenced by Landlord to recover possession under the Acts
of Assembly and Rules of Civil Procedure, either at the end of the term, or upon
the earlier termination of this Lease, or for non-payment of rent or any other
reason, tenant, specifically waives the right to the three months; notice and to
the fifteen or thirty days' notice required by the Landlord and Tenant Act of
1951, and agrees that five (5) days' notice shall be sufficient in either or any
such case.
(v) After
re-entry or retaking or recovering of the Premises, whether by way of
termination of this Lease or not, Landlord may lease the Premises or any part or
parts thereof to such person or persons and upon such terms as may in Landlord's
discretion seem best for a term within or beyond the term of this Lease, and
Tenant shall be liable for any loss of rent for the balance of the term and any
renewal or extension for which Tenant has become bound plus the costs and
expenses of reletting and of making repairs and alterations to the
Premises. Further, Tenant, for itself and its successors and assigns,
hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Landlord as Tenant's agent to
collect the rents due and to become due from all subleases and apply the same to
the rent due hereunder without in any way affecting Tenant's obligation to pay
any unpaid balance of rent due or to become due hereunder.
20
(vi) Landlord
may (but shall not be obligated to do so), in addition to any other rights it
may have in law or equity, cure such default on behalf of Tenant, and Tenant
shall reimburse Landlord upon demand for all costs incurred by Landlord in
curing such default, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees
and other legal expenses, together with interest thereon at the interest rate
specified in subsection 26 (g) below, which costs and interest thereon shall be
deemed additional rent hereunder.
(c) Notice of
Default. Except as to defaults under subsections 26 (a) (i),
(a) (iii), (a) (iv) and (a) (v), Landlord shall not exercise any right or remedy
provided for in this Lease or allowed by law because of any default of Tenant,
unless Landlord shall have first given written notice of such default to Tenant,
and Tenant shall have failed within ten (10) days after such notice from
Landlord to correct such default, or if such default is not susceptible of being
corrected within the aforesaid ten (10) days, then provided Tenant shall have
commenced such cure within the aforesaid ten (10) day period and shall
diligently prosecute completion of same, Tenant shall have such additional time
(not to exceed twenty (20) additional days) as Tenant may reasonably require to
complete such cure; provided, however, that Landlord shall not be required to
give, and Tenant shall not be entitled to the benefit of, any such notice or
grace period (i) more than two (2) times in any twelve (12) month period, or
(ii) if in Landlord's reasonable judgment, Tenant's delay in curing such default
would materially jeopardize the Premises, Center, or any tenants
thereof.
(d) Remedies
Cumulative. All remedies available to Landlord hereunder and
at law and in equity shall be cumulative and concurrent. No
termination of this Lease nor taking or recovering possession of the Premises
shall deprive Landlord of any remedies or actions against Tenant for rent, for
charges or for damages for the breach of any covenant, agreement or condition
herein contained, nor shall the bringing of any such action for rent, charges or
breach of covenant, agreement or condition, nor the resort to any other remedy
or right for the recovery of rent, charges or damages for such breach be
construed as a waiver or release of the right to insist upon the forfeiture and
to obtain possession. No re-entering or taking possession of the
Premises, or making of repairs, alterations or improvements thereto, or
reletting thereof, shall be construed as an election on the part of Landlord to
terminate this Lease unless written notice of such election be given by Landlord
to Tenant. The failure of Landlord to insist upon strict and/or
prompt performance of the terms, agreements, covenant and conditions of this
Lease or any of them, and/or the acceptance of such performance thereafter shall
not constitute or be construed as a waiver of Landlord's right to thereafter
enforce the same strictly according to the terms thereof in the event of a
continuing or subsequent default.
(e) Expenses of
Enforcement. In the event Landlord shall engage counsel as a
result of any action by Tenant, regardless of whether litigation is
instituted, Landlord shall be entitled to receive from Tenant the
amount of Landlord's reasonable out-of-pocket legal fees and out-of-pocket
expenses of counsel.
(f) Nonwaiver. Any
failure of Landlord to enforce any remedy allowed for the violation of any
provision of this Lease shall not imply the wavier of any such provision, even
if such violation is continued or repeated and no express wavier shall affect
any provision other than the one(s) specified in such waiver and only for the
time and in the manner specifically stated. No receipt of monies by
Landlord from Tenant after the termination of this Lease shall in any way (i)
alter the length of the term or of Tenant's right of possession hereunder, or
(ii) after the giving of any notice, reinstate, continue or extend the term or
affect any notice given to Tenant prior to the receipt of such monies, it being
agreed that after the service of notice or the commencement of a suit or after
final judgment for possession of the Premises, Landlord may receive and collect
any rent due, and the payment of said rent shall not waive or affect said
notice, suit or judgment.
21
(g) Interest
Rate. If any sums which Tenant is obligated to pay to Landlord
are not paid when due, they shall bear interest at the rate of eighteen percent
(18%) per annum (but in no event at a rate in excess of the highest rate allowed
by law).
(h) Late
Charge. Tenant shall pay a "late charge" of eight percent (8%)
(but in no event to exceed the highest lawful rate) of any installment of Annual
Basic Rent (or any other charge or payment considered additional rent under this
Lease) when paid more than seven days after the due date thereof, to cover the
administrative expense involved in handling delinquent payments.
27. REMEDIES
CUMULATIVE
Each
right and remedy provided for in this Lease shall be cumulative and shall be in
addition to every other right or remedy provided for in this Lease or now or
hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, and the
exercise or beginning of the exercise by Landlord or Tenant of any one or more
of the rights or remedies provided for in this Lease or now or hereafter
existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise shall not preclude the
simultaneous or later exercise by the party in question of any or all other
rights or remedies provided for in this Lease or now or hereafter existing at
law or in equity or by statute or otherwise.
28.
SUBORDINATION; ATTORNMENT
(a) Tenant's
rights under this Lease are and shall always be subordinate to the operation and
effect of any lease of land only or of land and buildings in a sale-leaseback
transaction, any mortgage, deed of trust or other security instrument now or
hereafter placed upon the Center or any part or parts thereof by Landlord. This
clause shall be self-operative, and no further instrument of subordination shall
be required. In confirmation thereof, Tenant shall execute such
further assurances as may be requisite. In addition, Tenant agrees to attorn to
any successor in interest to Landlord whether by purchase, foreclosure,
sale in lieu of foreclosure, power of sale, termination of any lease of land
only or land and buildings in a sale-leaseback transaction or otherwise, if so
requested or required by such successor in interest, and Tenant agrees, upon
demand, to execute such agreement or agreements in confirmation of such
attornment.
(b) Landlord
or its mortgagee, any ground lessor or other similar secured party, may, at
their option, make this Lease superior to any such mortgage, ground lease or
other security instrument by giving Tenant ten (10) days prior written notice.
No other documentation shall be necessary to affect such change.
(c) If
any person shall succeed to all or part of Landlord's interest in the Premises
upon the exercise of any remedy provided for in any mortgage of the Premises now
or hereafter recorded to which this Lease is prior as provided in subsection 28
(a) above, (i) Tenant shall attorn and recognize such person as Tenant's
landlord as above provided and this Lease shall continue in full force and
effect as a direct lease between such person and Tenant as fully and with the
same force and effort as if this Lease had originally been entered into by such
person and Tenant, except that such person shall not be liable for any act or
omission of Landlord prior to such person's succession to title nor be subject
to any offset, defense or counterclaim accruing prior to such person's
succession to title, nor be bound by any payment of Annual Basic Rent or on
account of the Tax Charge or Operating Costs made more than one month in advance
(except for payments in the nature of security deposits), nor be bound by any
modification of this Lease or any waiver, compromise, release or discharge of
any obligation of Tenant hereunder unless such modification, waiver, compromise,
release or discharge shall have been specifically consented to in writing by the
mortgagee under said mortgage, and (ii) such person and each person succeeding
to its interest in the Premises shall not be liable for any warranty or guaranty
of Landlord under the Lease and shall be liable for the performance and
observance of the other covenants and conditions to be performed and observed by
Landlord under this Lease only with respect to the period during which such
person shall own such interest.
22
(d) (i) Tenant
agrees that at any time and from time to time at reasonable intervals, within
ten (10) days after written request by Landlord, Tenant will execute,
acknowledge and deliver to Landlord and/or to such assignee,
mortgagee or other similar secured party as may be designated by Landlord, a
certificate stating that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect
(or that the same is in full force and effect as modified, listing the
instruments of modification), the dates to which rent and other charges have
been paid, and whether or not to the best of Tenant's knowledge Landlord is in
default hereunder (and if so, specifying the nature of the default), it being
intended that any such statement delivered pursuant to this paragraph may be
relied upon by a mortgagee, ground lessor or assignee of Landlord's interest in
the Center.
(ii) The
failure of Tenant to execute and deliver such certificate shall constitute a
default hereunder, in which event Landlord, in addition to all other remedies
available to it for such default, is hereby authorized, as attorney and agent of
Tenant, to execute such certificate and in such event Tenant hereby confirms and
ratifies any such certificate executed by virtue of the power of attorney hereby
granted.
29. SUCCESSORS
AND ASSIGNS
This
Lease and the covenants and conditions herein contained shall inure to the
benefit of and be binding upon Landlord, its successors in trust, successors and
assigns, and shall be binding upon Tenant, its successors and assigns and shall
inure to the benefit of Tenant and only such assigns of Tenant to whom the
assignment of Tenant has been consented to in writing by Landlord as herein
provided.
30.
NOTICES
(a) All
notices from Tenant to Landlord shall be in writing directed to Landlord at the
address of Landlord set forth in the Fundamental Lease
Provisions. All notices from Landlord to Tenant shall be in writing

Provisions. Either party may designate in writing a substitute
address for notices, and thereafter notices shall be directed to such substitute
address. Notices shall be given by certified mail, return receipt
requested or express delivery service.

receiving notice from any person, firm or other entity that it holds a mortgage
which includes the Premises as part of the mortgaged premises, or that it is the
ground lessor under a lease with Landlord, as ground lessee, which includes the
Premises as part of the demised premises, no notice from Tenant to Landlord
shall be effective unless and until a copy of the same is given to such holder
or ground lessor, and the curing of any of Landlord's defaults by such holder or
ground lessor shall be treated as performance by Landlord. For the purposes of
this Lease, the term "mortgage" when used in the context of a landlord's
mortgage includes a mortgage on a leasehold interest of Landlord (but not one on
Tenant's interest).

liability of each such individual, corporation, partnership, or other business
association to pay rent and perform all other obligations hereunder shall be
deemed to be joint and several. In like manner, if the Tenant named in this
Lease shall be a partnership or other business association, the members of which

liability of each such member shall be joint and several.

liabilities arising from any such claim (including, without limitation, the cost
of counsel fees in connection therewith).

reservation of or option for the Premises, and this Lease becomes effective only
upon execution and delivery thereof by Landlord.
36. NO
MODIFICATION
This
Lease and the Schedules or Exhibits attached hereto are intended by the parties
as a final expression of their agreement and as a complete and exclusive
statement of the terms thereof, all negotiations, consideration and
representations between the parties having been incorporated herein. No course
of prior dealings between the parties or their affiliates shall be relevant or
admissible to supplement, explain or vary any of the terms of this Lease.
Acceptance of, or acquiescence in, a course of performance rendered under
this or any prior agreement between the parties or their officers, employees,
agents or affiliates shall not be relevant or admissible to determine
the meaning of any of the terms of this Lease. No representations,
understandings or agreements have been made or relied upon in the making of this
Lease other than those specifically set forth herein. This Lease can only be
modified by a writing signed by all of the parties hereto or their duly
authorized agents.
37. SEVERABILITY

term or provision, or any portion thereof, of this Lease, or the application
thereof to any person or circumstances shall, to any extent, be

term or provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is
held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each term and
provision of this Lease shall be valid and be enforced to the fullest extent
permitted by law.

contained in this Lease shall be construed so as to confer upon any other party
the rights of a third party beneficiary as to any provision contained
herein.
24
39. TRANSFER
BY LANDLORD
In the
event of any sale, transfer or other disposition of Landlord's interest in the
Center, Landlord shall automatically and without any further act or instrument
be released and relieved of and from any and all obligations and liabilities of
Landlord accruing from and after the date of such transfer and in such event
Landlord's successor or transferee by accepting such sale, transfer and
assignment shall hereby automatically assume and be liable for all obligations
and liabilities of Landlord which accrue from and after such sale or transfer
and Tenant agrees to look solely to such successor or transferee for the
performance of any such duties and obligations and in satisfaction of all
such liabilities under this Lease.
40. LIMITATION
OF LIABILITY OF LANDLORD
Any
agreement, obligation or liability of Landlord is made, entered into or incurred
on the express condition that Tenant's only recourse under this Lease or
otherwise in the event of a default by Landlord of any such agreement,
obligation or liability of Landlord hereunder or otherwise, shall be limited to
Landlord's interest in the Center.
41. PARKING
(a) Landlord
agrees that Tenant and Tenant's employees, guests and invitees shall have the
non-exclusive right, in common with others entitled thereto, to utilize the
parking area located on the Center except that Tenant, its employees, invitees
and guests shall not have the right to use parking spaces which are reserved for
handicapped parking or which are otherwise set aside or reserved by
Landlord.
(b) Tenant's
use of all parking areas shall be subject to any rules and regulations relating
thereto included from time to time in the Center's Rules and Regulations
(including the establishment of a parking area for the employees of
tenants). Landlord shall not be responsible for any vandalism or
other damages from any cause occurring to automobiles or their contents while
located in such parking spaces or moving in the parking area.
42. SUBSTITUTE
SPACE
In the
event that a tenant or occupant of the Center desires to expand its premises
into the Premises or if a proposed tenant desires to lease space which includes
the Premises, if Landlord so requests, Tenant shall vacate the Premises and
relinquish its rights with respect to the same provided that Landlord shall
provide to Tenant substitute space in the Center, such space to be reasonably
comparable in size, layout, finish, visibility, accessibility and
utility to the Premises, and further provided that said substitute space does
not have a material adverse affect on Tenant in conducting Tenant’s business,
and that Landlord shall, at its sole cost and expense, move Tenant and its
removable property from the Premises to such new space in such manner as will
minimize, to the greatest extent practicable, undue interference with the
business or operations of Tenant. Any such substitute space shall, from and
after such relocation, be treated as the Premises under this Lease and shall be
occupied by Tenant under the same terms, provisions and conditions as are set
forth in this Lease.
25
43. COVENANTS
AND CONDITIONS
All of
the covenants of Tenant hereunder shall be deemed and construed to be
"conditions", if Landlord so elects, as well as "covenants" as though the words
specifically expressing or importing covenants and conditions were used in each
separate instance.
44. TIME
OF ESSENCE
Time is
of the essence of this Lease and each of its provisions.
45. MODIFICATIONS
FOR LENDER
If in
connection with obtaining financing or re-financing for the Center, the lender
shall request reasonable modifications in this Lease as a condition to such
financing, Tenant will not unreasonably withhold, delay or defer its consent
thereto, provided that such modifications do not increase the obligations of
Tenant hereunder or materially adversely affect the leasehold interest hereby
created or Tenant's rights hereunder.
46. HOLDING
OVER
Any
holdover by Tenant after the expiration of the term of this Lease shall be
treated as a daily tenancy at sufferance at a rate equal to two (2) times the
Annual Basic Rent plus other additional rent charges herein provided (pro-rated
on a daily basis) and shall otherwise be on the terms and conditions set forth
in this Lease as far as applicable.
47. RULES
AND REGULATIONS
Landlord
shall have the right from time to time to prescribe rules and regulations which,
in its judgment, may be desirable for the use, entry, operation and management
of the Premises and Center each of which rules and regulations and any
amendments thereto shall become a part of this Lease without further action of
the parties. Tenant shall comply with all such rules and
regulations.
48. TITLE
Landlord's
title is and always shall be paramount to the title of Tenant. Nothing herein
contained shall empower Tenant to do any act which can, shall or may encumber
the title of Landlord.
49.
PRIOR LEASE
On the
Rent Commencement Date, the existing Lease Agreement, between Landlord and
Tenant for other space in the Center shall automatically terminate, and Tenant
shall vacate such premises on or before that date. Tenant shall be
responsible for compliance with all terms and conditions of such prior lease to
the extent they relate to the period prior to its termination date, or expressly
survive lease termination.
