Additional Rent.
(a) Taxes and Insurance. Lessee shall pay as Additional Rent its proportionate share of real estate taxes and an administration fee of fifteen percent (15%) of the sum of said cost, and its proportionate share of the property and liability insurance, including loss of rent insurance. Lessee’s proportionate share of taxes and insurance shall be calculated as a fraction, the numerator of which is the square footage of the Demised Premises and the denominator of which is the square footage of the Building, which is approximately 12.41%.
The cost for taxes and insurance shall be payable monthly by Lessee commencing with the due date of first rental payment, without deduction or setoff. Lessor shall establish the monthly amount due based on previous year’s bills and shall have the right to xxxx Lessee for any shortfall at the end of each calendar year. Lessor shall credit any overpayment from Lessee against future taxes and insurance costs to be due.
(b) Common Area Maintenance. During the term of this Lease, any renewals, extensions, or expansions thereof, Lessee shall be responsible for its proportionate share of the common area maintenance and repairs applicable to the Demised Premises, including but not limited to the macadam, outside lighting, snow removal, trash removal (subject to subparagraph (c) below), landscaping, cleaning of debris and an administration fee of 15%of the sum of said costs (“CAM”). Lessee’s proportionate share of CAM shall be calculated as a fraction, the numerator of which is the square footage of the Demised Premises and the denominator of which is the square footage of the Building , which is approximately 12.41%, and shall be paid by the Lessee monthly at the same time as each installment of minimum rent is payable hereunder. Lessor will calculate the expenses at the end of each calendar year, provide Lessee with a breakdown of expenses, and give a credit for any overpayment or xxxx for any shortfall in amount paid by Lessee. If there is a shortfall in amount paid, Lessee shall pay the amount of the shortfall within fifteen (15) days after receipt of the xxxx from Lessor or Lessor’s agent.
The cost for CAM shall be payable monthly by Lessee commencing the due date of first rental payment, without deduction or setoff. Lessor shall establish the monthly amount due based on previous year’s bills and shall have the right to xxxx Lessee for any shortfall at the end of each calendar year. Lessor shall credit any overpayment from Lessee against future CAM costs to be due.
Lessor covenants and agrees to keep and retain books and records supporting the amount and computation of all Additional Rent under this Lease for at least two (2) years, and permit Lessee or its financial advisor or accountant to examine, audit and photocopy such books and records from time to time at Lessee’s expense (but not more frequently than once in any consecutive twelve month period) during Lessor’s normal business hours and upon at least thirty (30) days prior notice. If, upon any such inspection, a discrepancy of greater than five percent (5%) is found between the charge assessed against Lessee and the actual charge that is determined to have been due to Lessor for such period, then Lessor will promptly reimburse Lessee for all reasonable internal and actual out-of-pocket costs incurred in conducting such inspection, including but not limited to the financial advisor’s/accountant’s fees. If the charge assessed against Lessee is less than the actual charge then Lessee will promptly reimburse Lessor for all reasonable internal and actual out-of-pocket costs incurred in preparing for such inspection, including but not limited to any outside vendor used to copy the information.
(c) Refuse. Lessor shall provide for trash removal service as part of the CAM. Lessor shall have the right to exclude trash removal from CAM and instead provide or designate a separate container or service for collection of Lessee’s trash, so long as designated service rates are reasonable (in which event Lessee shall pay for trash collection directly to the vendor). Lessee, at its expense, agrees to comply with each present and future law,
2
ordinance and regulation regarding the collection, sorting, separation or recycling of waste products, garbage, refuse and trash (collectively, "Wastes") in or about the Demised Premises. Lessee shall sort and separate Wastes into such categories as required by law. Each separately sorted category of Wastes shall be placed in separate receptacles designated and approved by Lessor. Such separate receptacles shall be removed from the Demised Premises in accordance with a collection schedule prescribed by law or as otherwise prescribed by Lessor. Lessor reserves the right to refuse to collect or accept from Lessee any Wastes that are not separate and sorted as required by law, and to require Lessee to arrange for such collection at Lessee's expense, utilizing a contractor satisfactory to Lessor.
In the event Lessee’s trash use is excessive, as determined by Lessor in its reasonable discretion, Lessor may designate a separate container or service for collection of Lessee’s trash, and the costs shall be paid by Lessee, so long as designated service rates are reasonable. Lessee, at its expense, agrees to comply with each present and future law, ordinance and regulation regarding the collection, sorting, separation, disposal and/or recycling of medical waste in or about the Demised Premises.
(d) Estimate for Common Area Maintenance, Taxes and Insurance. Lessor estimates in good faith and with a reasonable basis to do so, but without any warranty or guaranty, that the first year’s additional rent for CAM, taxes and insurance (“Additional Rent”) will be approximately $1,021.00 per month; $12,252.00 per year based on $2.00 PSF.
(e) Utilities. Lessee shall be solely responsible for, agrees to contract with, and promptly pay all charges for utilities including but not limited to heat, electricity, gas, water, sewer, telephone, or any other utility or other service rendered, used or consumed in the Demised Premises by Lessee, and service inspections made thereof. Lessee also accepts the responsibility for the connection and disconnection of these utilities and the maintenance thereof, in the event maintenance is required as a result of Lessee’s use, misuse, or abuse. Lessee agrees to contact all appropriate utility companies to transfer all metering into Lessee’s name as of the commencement date of this Lease. Lessee agrees to be responsible for all costs, including, but not limited to, service charges related to transferring of utility accounts into Lessee’s name and the cost of utilities commencing as of the Delivery of Possession of the Demised Premises.
Charges for said herein mentioned utility consumption shall emanate either from the utility company if there is a meter to measure Lessee’s use of any such utility, or, if not, Lessor shall pay the utility company bills directly and submit an invoice to Lessee for reimbursement for said utility consumption based on Lessee’s proportionate share of the Building, which shall be calculated as a fraction, the numerator of which is the square footage of the Demised Premises and the denominator of which is the square footage of the Building. Lessor shall have no liability to Lessee for disruption of any utility service, and in no event shall such disruption constitute constructive eviction or entitle Lessee to an abatement of Rent or other charges.
Lessee shall pay Lessor all such amounts billed by Lessor within 15 days after receipt by Lessee of copies of bills.
(f) Damages for Default. Lessee agrees to pay as Rent, in addition to the minimum base rental herein reserved, any and all sums which may become due by reason of the failure of Lessee to comply with all of the covenants of this Lease and any and all damages, costs and expenses which the Lessor may suffer or incur by reason of any default of the Lessee or failure on his part to comply with the covenants of this Lease, and each of them, and also any and all damages to the Demised Premises caused by any act or neglect of the Lessee.

In requesting Lessor’s consent for building and entrance signage, Lessee shall provide signage specifications and plans for Lessor’s review, in accordance with Upper Merion Township’s code requirements. Any signage permitted to be erected will be at Lessee’s sole cost, subject to Lessor’s approval and the applicable code and permits issued by Upper Merion Township.

Lessor's review and approval of Lessee's plans and specifications are for compliance with Lessor's criteria only, and this approval does not relieve Lessee of responsibility for compliance with the Lease, field verification of dimensions and existing conditions, coordination with other trades, job conditions and compliance with all governing codes and regulations applicable to Lessee's work. No responsibility for proper engineering, safety, design of facilities or compliance with all applicable governing codes and regulations is implied or inferred on the part of Lessor by any such approval.

If the damage be only partial and such that the Demised Premises can be restored, in the opinion of a licensed architect retained by Lessor, to approximately their former condition within 180 days from the date of such damage or destruction (subject to extensions for delays beyond Lessor’s control) Lessor may, at Lessor’s option, restore the same with reasonable promptness, reserving the right to enter upon the Demised Premises for that purpose. Lessor also reserves the right to enter upon the Demised Premises whenever necessary to repair damage caused by fire or other casualty to the building of which the Demised Premises is a part, even though the effect of such entry be to render the Demised Premises or a part thereof untenable. In either event the rent shall be apportioned and suspended during the time Lessor is in possession, taking into account the proportion of the Demised Premises rendered untenable and the duration of Lessor’s possession. If a dispute arises as to the amount of rent due under this clause, Lessee agrees to pay the full amount claimed by Lessor, but Lessee shall have the right to proceed by law to recover the excess payment, if any.
(c) Repairs by Lessor. Lessor shall make such election to repair the Demised Premises or terminate this Lease by giving notice thereof to Lessee at the Demised Premises within thirty days from the date the Demised Premises have been destroyed or damaged by fire or other casualty.

Except to the extent hereinbefore provided, Lessor shall not be liable for any damage, compensation, or claim by reason of the necessity of repairing any portion of the building, the interruption in the use of the Demised Premises, any inconvenience or annoyance arising as a result of such repairs or interruption, or the termination of this lease by reason of damage or destruction of the Demised Premises.
(e) Representation of Condition of Premises. Except as otherwise provided in this Lease, (a) Lessor has let the Demised Premises in their present “As Is” condition and without any representations, other than those specifically endorsed hereon by Lessor, through its officers, employees, servants and/or agents, and (b) Lessor is under no duty to make repairs, alterations, or decorations at the inception of this Lease or at any time thereafter unless such duty of Lessor shall be set forth in writing endorsed hereon.
(f) Zoning. It is understood and agreed that the Lessor hereof does not warrant or undertake that the Lessee shall be able to obtain a permit under any Zoning Ordinance or Regulation for such use as Lessee intends to make of the said Demised Premises, and nothing in this Lease contained shall obligate the Lessor to assist Lessee under any Zoning Ordinance or Regulation, this Lease shall not terminate without Lessor’s consent, and the Lessee shall use the Demised Premises only in a manner permitted under such Zoning Ordinance or Regulation.
15.

(c) Conduct of Lessee. This Lease is granted upon the express condition that Lessee and/or the occupants of the Demised Premises shall not conduct themselves in a manner which is improper or objectionable, and if at any time during the Term of this Lease or any extension or continuation thereof Lessee or any occupier of the said Demised Premises shall have conducted himself in a manner which is improper or objectionable, Lessee shall be taken to have broken the covenants and conditions of this Lease, and Lessor will be entitled to all of the rights and remedies granted and reserved herein, for the Lessee’s failure to observe all of the covenants and conditions of this Lease.
(d) Failure of Lessee to Repair. In the event of the failure of Lessee promptly to perform the covenants of section 10(b) hereof, Lessor may go upon the Demised Premises and perform such covenants, the cost thereof, at the sole option of Lessor, to be charged to Lessee as additional and delinquent Rent.

(e)
If Lessee fails more than twice within any twelve (12) month period to observe or perform any covenant condition, or agreement of this Lease (including without limitation the payment of Rent), regardless of whether such default shall be cured by Lessee, the third default shall at the election of Lessor, in its sole and absolute discretion, be deemed a non-curable event of Default.

(1) The whole balance of Rent and other charges, payments, costs, and expenses herein agreed to be paid by Lessee, or any part thereof, and also all costs and officer’s commissions including watchmen’s wages shall be taken to be due and payable and in arrears as if by the terms and provisions of this Lease said balance of Rent and other charges, payment, taxes, costs and expenses were on that date, payable in advance.

17.

(a)

(1)
Insurance covering Lessee's trade fixtures, furnishings, equipment, betterments and leasehold improvements (whether included in Lessee's Work or existing at the time Lessee took possession), inventory and other installations of Lessee, in an amount not less than one hundred percent (100%) of their full replacement cost from time to time during the Term, providing "all-risk” protection against perils, without limitation, included within the standard state form of fire and broad form extended coverage insurance policy, together with insurance against sprinkler damage, vandalism and malicious mischief as included under standard insurance industry practices within the classification "Fire Extended Coverage, Vandalism and Malicious Mischief, and Sprinkler Leakage." For the purpose of this Section 26, leasehold improvements shall include all improvements to the Demised Premises excepting the roof, floor slab and exterior walls.
(2)

(3)
Broad form comprehensive public liability insurance in companies acceptable to Lessor, and naming as additional named insured Lessor and Lessor's Managing Agent, with minimum limits of $1,000,000.00 on account of bodily injuries to or death of one person as a result of one occurrence, and not less than $2,000,000.00 on account of bodily injuries to or death of one or more persons as a result of one occurrence, and which the property damage limit shall not be less than $ 300,000.00. In addition, Lessor requires an excess liability or umbrella policy in an amount not less than $1,000,000.00 with a self-insured retention not greater than $10,000. Lessor shall have the right from time to time, on not less than thirty (30) days' notice, to require Lessee to reasonably increase the amount and/or type of coverage required to be maintained under this Lease. If the nature of Lessee's operation is such as to place any or all of its employees under the coverage of local Worker's Compensation or similar statutes, Lessee shall also keep in force, at its own expense, Worker's Compensation or similar insurance affording statutory coverage and containing statutory limits.
(b)
Certificates of Insurance. Lessee will furnish to Lessor, at the time Lessee receives possession of the Demised Premises, copies of policies or certificates of insurance evidencing coverages required by this Lease. All policies required hereunder shall contain an endorsement providing that the insurer will not cancel or materially change the coverage of said policy or policies without first giving thirty (30) days' prior written notice thereof to Lessor and shall name Lessor and Xxxxxxx Management Co. as Additional Insureds.
(c)
Casualty. In the event the Demised Premises or its contents are damaged or destroyed by fire or other insured casualty, (i) Lessor, to the extent of the coverage of Lessor's policies of insurance, hereby waives its rights, if any, against Lessee with respect to such damage or destruction, even if such fire or other casualty shall have been caused, in whole or in part, by the negligence of Lessee, its agents, servants or employees, and (ii) Lessee, to the extent of the coverage of Lessee's policies of insurance, hereby waives its rights, if any, against Lessor with respect to such damage or destruction, even if such fire or other casualty shall have been caused, in whole or in part, by the negligence of Lessor, its agents, servants, or employees; provided, however, such waivers of subrogation shall be effective only with respect to loss or damage occurring during such time as Lessor's or Lessee's policies of insurance (as the case may be) shall contain a clause or endorsement providing in substance that the aforesaid waiver of subrogation shall not prejudice the type and amount of coverage under such policies or the right to Lessor or Lessee (as the case may be) to recover thereunder. If, at any time, Lessor's or Lessee's insurance carrier refuses to write insurance which contains a consent to the foregoing waiver of subrogation, Lessor or Lessee, as the case may be, shall notify the other party thereof in writing and upon the giving of such notice, the provisions of this Section shall be null and void as to any casualty which occurs after such notice. If Lessor's or Lessee's insurance carrier shall make a charge for the incorporation of the aforesaid waiver of subrogation in its policies, then the party requesting the waiver shall promptly pay such charge to the other party, upon demand. In the event the party requesting the waiver fails to pay such charge upon demand, the other party shall be released of its obligations to supply such waiver.
(d)
Blanket Insurance Policies. Any insurance required of Lessee under this Lease may be furnished by Lessee under a blanket policy carried by it. Such blanket policy shall contain an endorsement that names Lessor, Lessor's agent, mortgagee and Lessee as additional named insureds; references the premises; and guarantees a minimum limit available for the premises equal to the insurance amounts required in this Lease.
10
(e)
Subrogation. Each policy evidencing the insurance to be carried by Lessee under this Lease shall contain a clause that such policy and coverage evidenced thereby shall be written as a primary policy which does not contribute to and is not in excess of coverage which Lessor may carry.
(f)
Compliance with Insurance and Governmental Requirements. Subject only to Lessor’s express obligations set forth herein, Lessee agrees at its own expense to comply with (and to make all alterations, improvements and changes required, with respect to the Demised Premises, by) all Governmental Requirements (including without limitation the Americans with Disabilities Act and comparable legal requirements), as well as the recommendations and requirements, with respect to the Demised Premises, or its use or occupancy, of the insurance underwriters or insurance rating bureau or any similar public or private body and any governmental authority having jurisdiction with respect to the use or occupancy of the building of which the Demised Premises is a part, including, but not limited to, installation of fire extinguishers or automatic detection and/or suppression systems, any changes, modifications or alterations in the detection and/or suppression systems or additional detectors and/or sprinkler heads or the location of partitions, trade fixtures, or other contents of the Demised Premises.
(g)
Effect on Lessor’s Insurance. Lessee shall not do or suffer to be done, or keep or suffer to be kept, anything in, upon or about the Demised Premises which will contravene Lessor’s policies insuring against loss or damage by fire or other hazards, or which will prevent Lessor from procuring such policies in companies acceptable to Lessor at regular rates or which will in any way cause an increase in the insurance rates for any portion of Lessor’s property.
(h)
Rent Insurance. Lessor, should it so elect in its sole discretion, may procure Rent Insurance with respect to the Demised Premises, if available at a cost which Lessor in its sole judgment deems reasonable, against loss of rents for reasons set forth in this Lease, in an aggregate amount equal to not more than twenty-four (24) times the sum of (i) the monthly requirement of Minimum Rent of such Lessee, plus (ii) the average monthly amount estimated from time to time by Lessor to be payable by such Lessee as Additional Rent herein.

Lessee shall have the free and unhampered right of ingress and egress, in common with others, over these facilities.

In the event any holes are required to be cut in the roof, Lessor, at Lessee's expense, will engage Lessor's roofing contractor approved by Lessor's bonding company to flash and patch such holes so as to maintain the validity of Lessor's roof bond and responsibility thereunder.
Lessee, Lessee’s agents, employees and representatives, shall endeavor to maintain the Demised Premises and the property of which the Demised Premises is a part, in a clean and trash free manner.

(c)
Lessee, upon expiration or termination of this Lease, shall render to Lessor the Demised Premises in clean condition and free from the presence and contamination of any hazardous substances or wastes other than any of the same which were present at the commencement of this Lease. Prior to the expiration, Lessor reserves the right to have an inspection ordered to determine compliance with applicable environmental rules and regulations and the existence or any hazardous substance or hazardous waste. All costs for said testing and inspections, if required by Lessor, shall be at the sole cost and expense of Lessee. In the event it is determined that any hazardous substance or hazardous waste have been introduced to the Demised Premises by Lessee, it’s agents, employees or invitees, then Lessee agrees to be responsible and pay for all cost associated with clean-up or removal of said hazardous waste or substance. In the event that said clean-up or removal cannot be accomplished by the end of the Term of the Lease, then the Term shall be automatically extended for such period as it takes to remove or clean up the items found.

Lessee will indemnify Lessor and save Lessor, including Lessors agents, employees and the respective partners, officers, employees and agents of Lessor, harmless from and against any and all claims, actions, damages, liability and expense (including without limitation reasonable fees of attorney’s, investigators and experts) in connection with (a) loss of life, personal injury or damage to property caused to any person in or about the Demised Premises, or arising out of the occupancy or use by Lessee of the Demised Premises or any part thereof, or occasioned wholly or in part by any act or omission of Lessee, its agents, contractors, employees, licensees or invitees, unless such loss, injury or damage was caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lessor, or (b) any failure of Lessee to observe, perform or comply with any of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease. Without limiting the foregoing or any other waivers in favor of Lessor set forth in this Lease, Lessee will forever release and hold Lessor harmless from all claims arising out of damage to Lessee’s property unless such damage occurs as a result of Lessor’s gross negligence or willful misconduct and in no event shall Lessor be liable for damage to Lessee’s property which is or could have been insured against by Lessee under commonly available insurance policies. In case any such claim, action or proceeding for which Lessor is indemnified is brought against Lessor, upon notice from Lessor and at Lessee’s sole cost and expense, Lessee shall resist or defend such claim, action or proceeding or shall cause it to be resisted or defended by an insurer.
37.
Condition of Premises When Vacated.
