Section 5.01 Tenant covenants and agrees to pay to Landlord as Rental for the Premises, in lawful money of the United States, 1/12 of the Annual Base Rental, payable monthly in advance, without set-off, notice or demand, on the first day of each calendar month. In the event rent is not received by Landlord from Tenant by the tenth (10th) day of each calendar month, Tenant shall pay a late charge for special handling equal to four percent (4%) of the Rental due. Rental shall be paid to Landlord, without deduction or offset, at the address of Landlord specified in the Basic Lease Information or such other place as Landlord may designate in writing. The first monthly installment of Rental shall be paid on the Commencement Date, except that if Commencement Date is a date other than the first day of a calendar month, then the monthly Rental for the first and last fractional months of the Term shall be appropriately prorated. The term "Rental" as used herein means the sum of Annual Base Rental, and all other sums due hereunder by Tenant to Landlord, whether or not expressly denominated as rent, and shall constitute Rental for the purposes of Section 502(b)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code (11 U.S.C. § 502(b)(6)) unless a lesser amount as permitted under said section is actually due to Landlord, which in that case the lesser amount shall constitute Rental owed to the Landlord. A service charge of ten percent (10%) of the amount of any checks returned stamped "NSF" will be due and payable, in addition to the overdue installments to cover Landlord's extra cost and expense in handling and processing. No payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount than the monthly installment due under this Lease shall be deemed to be other than on account of the earliest Rental due hereunder, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or payment as Rental be deemed a waiver of a breach of the Lease Agreement or an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord's right to recover possession of the Premise and/or the balance of such Rental or pursue any other remedy provided in this Lease or by law, unless otherwise waived in writing by Landlord.

(b) | At the termination of such period of limitation, the Tenant shall pay to the Landlord, on demand, but only to the extent legally collectable by the Landlord, any amounts which would have been due from the Tenant during the period of limitation, but which were not paid because of such limiting law, decision, rule or regulation; and |

Section 16.02 If the Premises are damaged or destroyed by any cause whatsoever, and if, in the Landlord’s reasonable opinion the Premises cannot be rebuilt or made fit for Tenant's purposes within 180 days of the damage or destruction, or if the proceeds from insurance remaining after payment of any such proceeds to Landlord’s mortgagee are insufficient to repair or restore the damage by destruction, Landlord may, at its respective option, terminate this Lease by giving the Tenant, within 30 days after such damage or destruction, notice of termination, and thereupon Rental and any other payments for which Tenant is liable under this Lease shall be apportioned and paid to the date of such damage, and Tenant shall immediately vacate the Premises, provided, however, that those provisions of this Lease which are designated to cover matters of termination and the period thereafter shall survive the termination hereof.
Section 16.03 If either
(a) the Building is damaged or destroyed to the extent that, in Landlord's reasonable opinion it would not be economically feasible to repair or restore such damage or destruction, or
(b) in Landlord's reasonable judgment, the damage or destruction to the Building cannot be repaired or restored within 180 days after such damage or destruction,
29
Landlord may, at its respective option, terminate this Lease by giving the Tenant, within 60 days after such damage, notice of such termination, thereby requiring Tenant to vacate the Premises 30 days after delivery of the notice of termination, and thereupon Rental and any other payments shall be apportioned and paid to the date on which possession is relinquished and Tenant shall immediately vacate the Premises according to such notice of termination, provided, however, that those provisions of this Lease which are designed to cover matters of termination and the period thereafter shall survive the termination hereof.
Section 16.04 No damages shall be payable by Landlord for inconvenience, loss of business, or annoyance arising from any repair or restoration of any portion of the Premises, or the Building unless caused by the sole negligence of Landlord or Landlord’s employees, agents, representatives or contractors. Landlord shall use its best efforts to have such repairs made promptly so as not to unnecessarily interfere with Xxxxxx's occupancy and use of the Premises, the Building and the Property.

ARTICLE 18 - Assignment and Subletting
Section 18.01 If Tenant should desire to assign this Lease or sublet the Premises (or any part thereof), Tenant shall give Landlord written notice at least 60 days in advance thereof. Landlord shall then have a period of 30 days following receipt of such notice within which to notify Tenant in writing that Landlord elects either:
(a) to terminate this Lease as to the space so affected by Tenant in its notice, in which event Tenant, subject to the provisions of this Lease which expressly survive the termination hereof, shall be relieved of all further obligations hereunder as to such space;
(b) to permit Tenant to assign or sublet such space, subject, however, to the subsequent written approval of the proposed assignee or subtenant by Landlord, and provided that if the Rental rate agreed upon between Tenant and its proposed subtenant is greater than the Rental rate that Tenant must pay Landlord hereunder, then 100% of such excess Rental shall be considered additional Rental owed by Tenant to Landlord, and shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord in the same manner that Tenant pays Annual Base Rental; or
(c) to refuse to consent to Xxxxxx's assignment or subleasing of such space, provided such refusal notwithstanding anything contained in legislation, law or statute, as the same may be amended from time to time, the Landlord, shall not be deemed to be unreasonable in withholding its consent and may arbitrarily withhold its consent until and unless the proposed assignee or sub-lessee shall have agreed in writing with Landlord to assume and perform each of the covenants, obligations, and agreements of the Tenant in this Lease including, without limitation, the provision of the entry of judgment by confession for monetary damages and possession as set forth in Section 24.02.
No assignment or subletting by Tenant shall relieve Tenant of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease. Any attempted assignment or sublease by Xxxxxx in violation of the terms and provisions of this Section 18.01 shall be void. In no event shall Tenant solicit assignees or sub lessees in other Buildings owned by Landlord, or at less than a fair market rate.
In the event of an assignment of this Lease, the assignee, for purposes of this Agreement, be deemed to have adopted the warrants of attorney and confession of judgment, set forth in Section 24.02 as if the assignee has executed the same.
Section 18.02 Landlord may sell, transfer, assign, and convey all or any part of the Building and any and all of its rights under this Lease, provided Xxxxxxxx's successor in interest assumes Landlord's obligations hereunder, and in the event Landlord assigns its rights under this Lease, Landlord shall be released from any further obligations hereunder, and Xxxxxx agrees to look solely to Xxxxxxxx's successor in interest for performance of such obligations.

Tenant waives all claims against Landlord for damage to any property or injury to, or death of, any person in, upon, or about the Property, Building, or the Premises arising at any time and from any and all causes whatsoever other than by reason of the sole negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its agents, employees, representatives, or contractors, and Xxxxxx agrees that it will defend, indemnify, save, and hold harmless, Landlord from and against all claims, demands, actions, damages, loss, cost, liabilities, expenses, and judgments suffered by, recovered from, or asserted against Landlord on account of any damage to any property or injury to, or death of, any person arising from the use of the Property, Building or the Premises by Tenant or its employees or invitees, except such as is caused by the sole negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its agents, employees, representatives, or contractors. Xxxxxx's foregoing indemnity obligation shall include reasonable attorneys' fees and all other reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Landlord. If Landlord is made a party to any litigation commenced by or against Tenant or relating to this Lease or to the Premises, and provided that in any such litigation, Landlord is not finally adjudicated to be at fault, then Tenant shall pay all costs and expenses, including attorneys' fees and court costs, incurred by or imposed upon Landlord because of any such litigation, and the amount of all such costs and expenses, including attorneys' fees and court costs, shall be a demand obligation owing by Tenant to Landlord, and shall be considered as additional Rental.
Except to the extent provided in this Lease, the Landlord shall not be liable or responsible in any way for any loss, damage or injury of any nature whatever that may be suffered or sustained to any persons or property, and in particular, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Landlord shall not be liable for any loss, damage or injury of any nature whatever to any person or property:

The Tenant shall not be entitled to any abatement of rent in respect of any such loss, damage or injury, condition, failure or interruption of service, nor shall the same constitute an eviction.
Except as otherwise set forth below, Tenant, for itself and for its respective insurers, if any, does hereby agree that all personal property in the Leased Premises shall be at the risk of the Tenant only, and Landlord shall not be or become liable for any damage to personal property of Tenant or others in the Leased Premises, nor for loss of or damage to any property of Tenant or others due to theft, or to Tenant or from any other cause or in any other manner whatsoever unless such theft is as the result of the acts of Landlord’s agents. Landlord shall not be liable for any damage caused by other tenants of the Landlord’s Property, occupants of adjacent property, or by the public, or caused by operations in construction of any private, public, or quasi public work. All property of the Tenant kept or stored on the Leased Premises shall be kept or stored at the risk of Tenant only, and Tenant shall hold Landlord harmless and indemnify Landlord from any claims, liabilities, or costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of damage to the property of Tenant or a customer of Tenant on the Property, or any other claims arising out of or resulting from Xxxxxx’s rights under this Lease or presence on the Property, including subrogation claims by Tenant’s insurance carrier.

Section 20.02 Landlord must approve in writing Tenant’s removal of any Non-Standard Building Improvements, alterations, and physical additions installed in the Premises upon termination of this Lease. In the event Landlord so elects, and Xxxxxx fails to remove the aforementioned items, Landlord may remove and store, liquidate and/or dispose of at Tenant's cost, and Tenant shall pay Landlord on demand, the cost of restoring the Premises to Building Standard, ordinary wear and tear excepted. Xxxxxx agrees to remove, at Xxxxxx's expense, all of its furniture, furnishings, personal property, and moveable trade fixtures by the

Section 20.03 Should Tenant continue to hold the Premises after the termination of this Lease, whether the termination occurs by lapse of time or otherwise, such holding over shall, unless otherwise agreed to by Landlord in writing, constitute and be construed as a tenancy at will at a monthly Rental equal to 150% of the monthly Rental Rate for the Premises as of the date of termination, and subject to all of the other terms set forth herein except any right to renew or expand this Lease. Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for all damage which Landlord suffers because of any holding over by Xxxxxx, and Xxxxxx shall indemnify Landlord against all claims made by any other Tenant or prospective Tenant against Landlord resulting from delay by Landlord in delivering possession of the Premises to such other Tenant or prospective Tenant.

Xxxxxxxx agrees to use his best efforts to obtain for Tenant a "non-disturbance" agreement from the holder or beneficiary of any deeds of trust, mortgages or other security instruments that in the future may cover the Building and the Land or any interest of Landlord therein. This provision is declared by Landlord and Tenant to be self-operative and no further instrument shall be required to effect such subordination of this Lease. Tenant shall, however, upon demand, execute, acknowledge, and deliver to Landlord any further instruments and certificates evidencing such subordination as Landlord may require. This Lease is further subject and subordinate to utility easements and agreements, covenants, restrictions, and other encumbrances which do not materially adversely effect Tenant's intended use of the Premises, both existing and future.
Section 22.02 Notwithstanding the generality of the foregoing provisions of Section 22.01 hereof, any such mortgagee shall have the right at any time to subordinate any such ground or primary Leases, deeds of trust, mortgages, or other security instruments to this Lease on such terms and subject to such conditions as such mortgagee or ground or primary lessor may consider appropriate in its discretion.

The agreement of Tenant to attorn contained in the immediately preceding sentence shall survive any foreclosure sale, trustee's sale, or conveyance in lieu thereof.

(b) if Tenant shall fail to perform or observe any other term hereof or any of the Rules and Regulations and such failure shall continue for more than 30 days after notice thereof from Landlord.
(c) if any petition is filed by or against Tenant or any guarantor of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease under any section or chapter of the present or future Bankruptcy Code or under any similar law or statute of the United States or any state thereof;

(a) Terminate this Lease by giving written notice of the termination to the Tenant, in which event Tenant shall immediately surrender the Premises to Landlord. If Tenant fails to do so, Landlord may, without notice and without prejudice to any other remedy Landlord may have, enter upon and take possession of the Premises and expel or remove Tenant and its effects without being liable to prosecution or any claim for damages therefore; and Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for all loss and damage which Landlord may suffer by reason of such termination, whether through inability to re-let the Premises or otherwise, including any loss of Rental for the remainder of the Term. Any such loss of Rental shall be offset by any Rental received by Landlord as a result of re-letting the Premises during the remainder of the Term.

(1) the costs of recovering the Premises;
(2) the unpaid Rental due for the remaining term as of the date of termination, plus interest thereon at a rate per annum from the due date equal to 18% over the Prime Rate.
(3) the total Rental and other benefits which Landlord would have received under the Lease for the remainder of the Term, at the rates then in effect, together with all other expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with Xxxxxx’s default.
(4) all other sums of money and damages owing by Xxxxxx and Landlord.
(d) | Enter upon and take possession of the Premises as Xxxxxx's agent without terminating this Lease and without being liable to prosecution or any claim for damages therefore, and Landlord may re-let the Premises as Xxxxxx's agent and receive the Rental therefore, in which event Tenant shall pay to Landlord on demand the reasonable cost of renovating and repairing the Premises for a new Tenant or Tenants and any deficiency that may arise by reason of such re-letting; shall not release or affect Tenant's liability for Rental or for damages. |
(e) | Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default which is not cured by the Tenant within the period of time provided herein, if any is so provided by the terms of this Lease, the Tenant hereby empowers any Prothonotary or any attorney of any court of record within the United States or elsewhere to appear for the Tenant, with declaration filed, and confess judgment against the Tenant in favor of the Landlord, its successors or assigns, as of any term, for any determined amount to which the Landlord would be entitled as damages under the provisions hereof including also any attorney fees for collection of the same plus ten percent (10%) of the total amount of such damages, together with costs of suit, and the Tenant hereby waives all errors, defects and imperfections in entering said judgment or in any writ, or process, or proceeding thereon or thereto or in anyway touching or concerning the same; and for the confession and entry of such judgment, this Lease or a true and correct copy thereof shall be sufficient warrant and authority. The authority and power contained herein shall not be exhausted by one exercise thereof, but judgment may be confessed as aforesaid from time to time and as often as there is an occurrence of any Event of Default which |
33
is not cured by the Tenant as provided herein, or in the event of an Event of Default as defined herein; and furthermore such authority and power may be exercised during the original and any extension or renewal thereof, or after the expiration or earlier termination of the term hereof. The interest rate of one and one-half percent per month (1.5% per month) shall survive the entering of judgment.
Tenant Initials: MET
(f) | When this lease shall be terminated or cancelled by reason of breach of any provision hereof, either during the original term of this lease or any renewal thereof, and also as soon as the term hereby created or any renewal thereof shall have expired, it shall be lawful for any attorney as attorney for Tenant to file an agreement for entering in any court of competent jurisdiction an amicable action and confession of judgment in ejectment against the Tenant and all persons claiming under the Tenant for the recovery by the Landlord of possession of the Premise, for which this lease or a true and correct copy thereof shall be his sufficient warrant, whereupon, if the Landlord so desires, a writ of possession may issue forthwith, without any prior writ or proceedings whatsoever, and provided that if for any reason after such action shall have commenced the same shall be terminated and possession remain in or be restored to the Tenant, the Landlord shall have the right upon any subsequent default or defaults, or upon the termination or cancellation of this lease as hereinbefore set forth, to bring one or more amicable action or actions as hereinbefore set forth to recover possession as aforesaid. |
Tenant Initials: MET
(g) Do whatever Tenant is obligated to do under this Lease and may enter the Premises without being liable to prosecution or any claim for damages therefore, to accomplish this purpose. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord immediately upon demand for any expenses which Landlord incurs in thus effecting compliance with this Lease on Tenant's behalf, and Landlord shall not be liable for any damages suffered by Tenant from such action, unless caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or otherwise.
Section 24.03 No act or thing done by Landlord or its agents during the Term shall constitute an acceptance of an attempted surrender of the Premises, and no agreement to accept a surrender of the Premises or to terminate this Lease shall be valid unless made in writing and signed by Landlord. No re-entry or taking possession of the Premises by Landlord shall constitute an election by Landlord to terminate this Lease, unless a written notice of such intention is given to Tenant. Notwithstanding any such re-letting or re-entry or taking possession, Landlord may at any time thereafter terminate this Lease for a previous default. Xxxxxxxx's acceptance of partial payment of Rental following an event of default hereunder shall not be construed as a waiver of such event of default. No waiver by Landlord of any breach of this Lease shall constitute a waiver of any other violation or breach of any time of the terms hereof. Forbearance by Landlord to enforce one or more of the remedies herein provided upon a breach hereof shall not constitute a waiver of any other breach of the Lease.
Section 24.04 No provision of this Lease shall be deemed to have been waived by Landlord unless such waiver is in writing and signed by Landlord nor shall any custom or practice which may evolve between the parties in the administration of the terms of this Lease be constituted to waive or lessen Landlord’s right to insist upon strict performance of the terms of this Lease. The rights granted to Landlord in this Lease shall be cumulative of every other right or remedy which Landlord may otherwise have at law or in equity or by statue, and the exercise of one or more rights or remedies shall not prejudice or impair the current or subsequent exercise of other rights or remedies.
Section 24.05. The Tenant expressly waives:
(a) | The right to three (3) months notice and/or ten (10), fifteen (15) or thirty (30) days notice required under certain circumstances by the Landlord and Tenant Act of 1951. |

(g) | All rights under any law, ordinance or statue relating to Landlord and Tenant rights to the extent of hereby authorizing the sale of any goods distrained for rent at any time after seven (7) days from said distraint without appraisement and condemnation thereof; |
(h) | Tenant hereby covenants and agrees to pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, promptly upon demand, all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in enforcing any and every provision of this Lease and/or in pursuing any remedy for default of this Lease, regardless of initiation or conclusion of any legal proceeding; said costs and expenses shall include, but not be limited to, all legal fees, attorney’s fees, and all court costs, including the preparation of documents and the filing fee of any and all papers with the courts and the cost of depositions and investigations. |
ARTICLE 25 - Waiver by Landlord
Landlord waives any rights of distraint with respect to Xxxxxx’s trade fixtures and other personal property of Tenant located in the Premises provided under the Landlord and Tenant Act of 1951, 68 P.S. § 250.101 et seq., or otherwise.
ARTICLE 26 - Security Deposit
The Security Deposit, if any, shall be held by Landlord, without interest, as security for the performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease. Landlord may, without prejudice to any other remedy, use the Security Deposit to remedy any default in any obligation of Tenant hereunder, and such use shall survive the termination of this Lease, and Tenant shall promptly, in demand, restore the Security Deposit to its original amount. If Tenant is not in default at the termination of this Lease, any remaining portion of the Security Deposit shall be returned to Tenant. If Landlord transfers its interest in the Premises during the Term, Landlord shall assign the Security Deposit to the transferee who shall then become obligated to Tenant for its return, and thereafter Landlord shall have no further liability for its return.
ARTICLE 27 - Attorney's Fees and Legal Expenses
