b. Payment of Tenant’s Tax Payment. Commencing on January 1, 2017, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent hereunder, an amount equal to Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the total excess, if any, in Real Estate Taxes for such Tax Year over the Real Estate Taxes for the Base Year, prorated on a per diem basis for any partial Tax Year within the Term (“Tenant’s Tax Payment”). For any portion of a Tax Year during the Term, Tenant’s Tax Payment shall be prorated on a per diem basis.
i. Such Tenant’s Tax Payment shall be paid in the following manner:
(1) Beginning on January 1, 2017, and continuing thereafter during each Tax Year during the Term on the first day of each month until receipt of the next Tax Statement, Tenant will pay Landlord an amount set by Landlord sufficient to pay Landlord’s estimate (reasonably based on the actual Real Estate Taxes for the preceding Tax Years (but subject to the provision of Section 7(b)(ii) below) and Landlord’s projections of any anticipated increases or decreases thereof) of Tenant’s Tax Payment for the current Tax Year (or remaining portion thereof) (the “Monthly Tax Payment Estimate”). The Monthly Tax Payment Estimate for a period less than a full calendar month shall be duly prorated.
(2) Following the end of each Tax Year, Landlord shall furnish Tenant a Tax Statement setting forth the information described in Section 7(a)(iii) above. Within thirty (30) days following the receipt of such Tax Statement (the “Tax Expense Share Date”) Tenant shall pay to Landlord: (i) the amount by which the Tenant’s Tax Payment for the Tax Year (or portion thereof) covered by the Tax Statement exceeds the aggregate of Monthly Tax Payment Estimates paid by Tenant with respect to such Tax Year (or portion thereof); and (ii) the amount by which the Monthly Tax Payment Estimate for the current Tax Year as shown on the Tax Statement multiplied by the number of months elapsed to date in the current Tax Year (including the month in which payment is made) exceeds the aggregate amount of payments of the Monthly Tax Payment Estimate theretofore made in the Tax Year in which the Tax Statement is issued. Landlord shall diligently endeavor to furnish Tenant a Tax Statement not later than one hundred twenty (120) days following the end of each Tax Year.
(3) On the first day of the first month following receipt by Tenant of any annual Tax Statement and continuing thereafter on the first day of each succeeding month until the issuance of the next ensuing Tax Statement, Tenant shall pay Landlord the amount of the Monthly Tax Payment Estimate shown on the Tax Statement.
(4) If on any Tax Expense Share Date Tenant’s payments of the installments of the Monthly Tax Payment Estimate for the preceding year’s Real Estate Taxes are greater than Tenant’s Tax Payment for such preceding Tax Year, Landlord shall credit Tenant with any excess, which credit may be offset by Tenant against next due installments of Rent. If the Term expires prior to the Tax Expense Share Date for the applicable Tax Year and if Tenant’s payments of Monthly Tax Payment Estimate either exceed or are less than Tenant’s Tax Payment, Landlord shall send the Tax Statement to Tenant, and an appropriate payment from Tenant to Landlord or refund from Landlord to Tenant shall be made on the Tax Expense Share Date. The provisions of this Section 7(b)(i)(4) shall remain in effect notwithstanding any termination of this Lease; provided however, that if upon termination of this Lease Tenant owes Landlord any sums under this Lease (for Rent or otherwise), Landlord shall have the right to
-6- |
reduce the amount of any refund due Tenant under this Section 7(b)(i)(4) against such sums owed by Tenant to Landlord.
ii. Real Estate Taxes with respect to a Tax Year which is the subject of an appeal filed by or on behalf of Landlord shall be paid on the basis of the amount reflected in the tax xxxx and shall not be adjusted until the final determination of the appeal. Upon such determination of any appeal, Landlord will notify Tenant in writing of the actual amount of Tenant’s Tax Share of the Real Estate Taxes for the year or years which were the subject of the appeal and the amount, if any, remaining due by Tenant in excess of Tenant’s estimated payments. Tenant shall pay such entire amount so due on the due date for the next installment of Fixed Basic Rent, or if this Lease has terminated, Tenant shall pay the amount due within fifteen (15) days after receipt of Landlord’s notice. If the final determination of the appeal results in a reduction of the Real Estate Taxes at issue and Landlord receives an actual refund from the taxing authority on account of overpayment of Real Estate Taxes for such year, Tenant shall receive a credit against the installment of Fixed Basic Rent next coming due in the amount by which Tenant’s payments on account of Tenant’s Tax Share of such Real Estate Taxes exceeded the payments actually due for the applicable year.
iii. Any Tax Statement or other notice from Landlord pursuant to this Section 7(b) shall be deemed approved by Tenant as correct unless within sixty (60) days after the furnishing thereof, Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing that it disputes the correctness of the Tax Statement or other notice, specifying in detail the basis for such assertion. Pending the resolution of such dispute, however, Tenant shall make payments in accordance with said Tax Statement or other notice.

Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing if Landlord elects to include such savings in Operating Expenses, and in such case, shall include with each Operating Expense Statement for the relevant Operating Year(s), a statement of the amount of savings in Operating Expenses for the relevant Operating Year(s).

-9- |
been occupied by tenants receiving services which form the basis for Operating Expenses for more than thirty (30) days during such year, the components of the actual Operating Expenses that are variable based upon occupancy for such year shall be increased to the amount which normally would have been incurred for such Operating Year had all such services been provided to tenants occupying ninety-five percent (95%) of the Building throughout such Operating Year, as reasonably determined by Landlord, and shall include during any year in which construction warranties or guaranties eliminate or reduce the need for service contracts on Building systems or components, the reasonable cost of such service contracts that would otherwise be required notwithstanding such construction warranties or guaranties.

vii. “Non-Controllable Operating Expenses” shall mean utility costs, snow and ice removal expenses, insurance premiums, trash removal expenses, other items the unit cost and quantity requirements of which are not susceptible to pre-negotiation by Landlord, or which are otherwise not reasonably controllable by Landlord (such as, but not limited to, increases in the minimum wage which may affect the cost of service contracts).
b. Tenant’s Expense Payment. Commencing on January 1, 2017, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as Additional Rent hereunder an amount equal to Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the total excess, if any, in Operating Expenses for such Operating Year over Operating Expenses for the Base Year (“Tenant’s Expense Payment”). For any portion of an Operating Year less than a full twelve (12) month period occurring within the Term, Tenant’s Expense Payment shall be prorated on a per diem basis.
i. Such Tenant’s Expense Payment shall be paid in the following manner:
(1) Beginning on January 1, 2017, and continuing thereafter during each Operating Year during the Term on the first day of each month until receipt of the next Operating Expense Statement, Tenant will pay Landlord an amount set by Landlord sufficient to pay Landlord’s estimate (reasonably based on the actual Operating Expenses for the preceding Operating Year and Landlord’s projections of any anticipated increases or decreases thereof) of Tenant’s Expense Payment for the current Operating Year (or remaining portion thereof) (the “Monthly Operating Expense Estimate”). The Monthly Operating Expense Estimate for a period less than a full calendar month shall be duly prorated.
(2) Following the end of each Operating Year, Landlord shall furnish Tenant an Operating Expense Statement setting forth the information described in Section 8(a)(ii) above. Within fifteen (15) days following the receipt of such Operating Expense Statement (the “Expense Share Date”) Tenant shall pay to Landlord: (i) the amount by which the Tenant’s Expense Payment for the Operating Year (or portion thereof) covered by the Operating Expense Statement exceeds the aggregate of Monthly Operating Expense Estimates paid by Tenant with respect to such Operating Year (or portion thereof); and (ii) the amount by which the Monthly Operating Expense Estimate for the current Operating Year as shown on the Operating Expense Statement multiplied by the number of months elapsed to date in the current Operating Year (including the month in which payment is made) exceeds the aggregate amount of payments of the Monthly Operating Expense Estimate theretofore made in the Operating Year in which the Operating Expense Statement is issued. Landlord shall diligently endeavor to furnish Tenant an Operating Expense Statement not later than one hundred and twenty (120) days following the end of each Operating Year.
(3) On the first day of the first month following receipt by Tenant of any annual Operating Expense Statement and continuing thereafter on the first day of each succeeding month until the issuance of the next ensuing Operating Expense Statement, Tenant
-11- |
shall pay Landlord the amount of the Monthly Operating Expense Estimate shown on the Operating Expense Statement.
(4) If on any Expense Share Date Tenant’s payments of the installments of the Monthly Operating Expense Estimate for the preceding year’s Operating Expenses are greater than Tenant’s Expense Payment for such preceding Operating Year, Landlord shall credit Tenant with any excess, which credit may be offset by Tenant against next due installments of Rent. If the Term expires prior to the Expense Share Date for the applicable Operating Year and if Tenant’s payments of Monthly Operating Expense Estimate either exceed or are less than Tenant’s Expense Payment, Landlord shall send the Operating Expense Statement to Tenant, and an appropriate payment from Tenant to Landlord or refund from Landlord to Tenant shall be made on the Expense Share Date. The provisions of this Section 8(b)(i)(4) shall remain in effect notwithstanding any termination of this Lease; provided however, that if upon termination of this Lease Tenant owes Landlord any sums under this Lease (for Rent or otherwise), Landlord shall have the right to reduce the amount of any refund due Tenant under this Section 8(b)(i)(4) against such sums owed by Tenant to Landlord.
ii. Any Operating Expense Statement or other notice from Landlord pursuant to this Section 8 shall be deemed approved by Tenant as correct unless, within sixty (60) days after the furnishing thereof, Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing that it disputes the correctness of the Operating Expense Statement or other notice, specifying in detail the bases for such assertion. Notwithstanding any dispute concerning any Operating Expense Statement or other notice, Tenant shall continue to make payments in accordance with said Operating Expense Statement or other notice pending the resolution of such dispute.
c. Cam Cap. Notwithstanding any provision of this Lease to the contrary, for the calendar year commencing on January 1, 2017 and each year thereafter during the Term, Controllable Operating Expenses charged as part of Operating Expenses for any calendar year shall be subject to and limited by a cap (the “Cam Cap”), which cap shall equal the aggregate amount of all Controllable Operating Expenses that were charged as part of Operating Expenses for the prior calendar year or with respect to the Base Year were included in the determination of Operating Expenses for the Base Year, as increased by 3%.
9. Interest and Late Charge. Landlord may charge a late payment charge of five percent (5%) of any installment of Fixed Basic Rent or Additional Rent that is not paid within ten (10) days of the due date thereof. Any amount due from Tenant to Landlord which is not paid when due shall bear interest (“Interest” or “interest”) at an interest rate equal to the Prime Rate published from time to time in the Money Rates column of the Wall Street Journal plus two percent (2%) (or, if lower, the highest rate then allowed under the usury laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania) from the date due until the date paid. The right of Landlord to charge a late charge and to charge interest with respect to past due amounts is in addition to Landlord’s rights and remedies upon an Event of Default.

(5) Any other form or forms of insurance or any increase in the limits of any of the aforesaid enumerated coverages or other forms of insurance as Landlord or the mortgagees or ground lessors (if any) of Landlord may reasonably require from time to time if said coverage and/or limits become less than that commonly maintained by first class office building tenants in the metropolitan Philadelphia area.
ii. All property insurance policies shall be taken out with insurers rated A (or if such ratings are not in effect, the equivalent thereof) by Best Rating Service, or any successor thereto (or if there be none, an organization having a National reputation) who are licensed to do business in the state in which the Property is located. A certificate evidencing such insurance shall be delivered to Landlord prior to the Commencement Date hereof. Such
-13- |
insurance policy or certificate will provide an undertaking by the insurers to notify Landlord and the mortgagees or ground lessors (if any) of Landlord in writing not less than thirty (30) days prior to any material change, reduction in coverage, cancellation, or other termination thereof. The aforesaid insurance shall be written with commercially reasonable deductibles.
iii. Tenant agrees that it will not keep or use or offer for sale (if sales of goods is a permitted use pursuant to this Lease) in or upon the Premises or within the Property any article which may be prohibited by any insurance policy in force from time to time covering the Property or Premises. In the event Tenant’s occupancy or conduct of business in or on the Premises or Property, whether or not Landlord has consented to the same, results in any increase in premiums for insurance carried from time to time by Landlord with respect to the Building, the Property or the Premises, Tenant shall pay such increase in premiums as Additional Rent within thirty (30) days after being billed therefor by Landlord. Tenant shall promptly comply with all reasonable requirements of the insurance authority or of any insurer now or hereafter in effect relating to the Building, the Property or Premises.
b. Landlord’s Insurance. Landlord covenants and agrees that throughout the Term it will (i) insure the Property and the Building (excluding any property of Tenant with respect to which Tenant is obligated to insure pursuant to Section 10(a)(i)(l) above) against “All Risks” or equivalent property insurance against fire, theft, vandalism, malicious mischief, sprinkler leakage, and such additional perils as are now, or hereafter may be, included in a ’’Special coverage form” that from time to time in general use in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, including windstorm and flood, in an amount equal to the full replacement cost of the Building; and (ii) maintain commercial general liability insurance with respect to the Building and the Property in such reasonable amounts with such reasonable deductibles as required by any mortgagee or ground lessor, or, if none, as would be carried by a prudent owner of a first class office building in the area. In addition, Landlord shall maintain and keep in force and effect during the Term, rental income insurance insuring Landlord against abatement or loss of Fixed Basic Rent, including items of Additional Rent, in case of fire or other casualty similarly insured against, in an amount at least equal to the Fixed Basic Rent and Additional Rent during, at the minimum, one (1) Lease Year hereunder. Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, take out and carry any other forms of insurance as it or the mortgagee or ground lessor (if any) of Landlord may require or reasonably determine available. All insurance carried by Landlord on the Building and the Property or in connection with its ownership or operation thereof shall be included as an Operating Expense pursuant to Section 8. Notwithstanding its inclusion as an Operating Expense or any contribution by Tenant to the cost of insurance premiums by Tenant as provided herein, Tenant acknowledges that it has no right to receive any proceeds from any such insurance policies carried by Landlord although Landlord shall use such proceeds in the repair and reconstruction of the Building, the Property, and the Premises. Landlord will not carry insurance of any kind on Tenant’s furniture or furnishings, or on any fixtures, equipment, appurtenances, or improvements of Tenant under this Lease (other than the improvements being performed by Landlord for Tenant prior to the Commencement Date, all of which shall be insured by Landlord), and Landlord shall not be obligated to repair any damage thereto or replace the same.
c. Waiver of Subrogation. Any policy or policies of fire, extended coverage, or other property insurance, which either party obtains in connection with the Premises, Building,
-14- |
or Property shall include a clause or endorsement denying the insurer any rights of subrogation against the other party (i.e., Landlord or Tenant) for all perils covered by such policy. Should such waiver not be available then the policy for which the waiver is not available must name the other party as an additional insured affording it the same coverage as that provided the party obtaining such coverage. Any provision of this Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, Landlord and Tenant hereby release the other from any and all liability or responsibility to the other or anyone claiming through or under them by way of subrogation or otherwise (a) from any and all liability for any loss or damage to the property of the releasing party; (b) for any loss or damage that may result, directly or indirectly, from the loss or damage to such property (including rental value and business interruption); and (c) from legal liability for any loss or damage to property (no matter who the owner of the property may be), all to the extent that the releasing party’s loss or damage is insured or was required to be insured under the terms of this Lease, even if such loss or damage or legal liability shall be caused by or result from the fault or negligence of the other party or anyone for whom such party may be responsible and even if the releasing party is self-insured in whole or in part or the amount of the releasing party’s insurance is inadequate to cover the loss or damage or legal liability. It is the intention of the parties that Landlord and Tenant shall look solely to their respective insurance carriers for recovery against any such property loss or damage or legal liability, without such insurance carriers having any rights of subrogation against the other party.
11. Repairs and Maintenance.
a. Tenant shall, throughout the Term, and at Tenant’s sole cost and expense subject to Sections 11(b) below and 10(c) above, keep and maintain the Premises in a neat and orderly condition; and, upon expiration of the Term or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall leave the Premises in a neat, orderly, and broom clean condition, reasonable wear and tear, damage by fire or other casualty alone excepted. Subject to Section 10(c) above, Tenant shall be responsible for repair of damage to the Premises caused by Tenant, its agents and contractors and their respective employees. Tenant shall not permit any waste to the Premises. Tenant shall not use any portion of the Common Facilities for other than their intended use as reasonably specified by Landlord from time to time.
b. Landlord shall, throughout the Term, make all necessary repairs to the structural elements and Building operating systems and exterior windows and doors of the Premises and other improvements located on the Property (other than, but subject to Section 10(c), repair of damage to the Premises caused by Tenant, its agents and contractors and their respective employees); provided, however, that Landlord shall have no responsibility to make any repairs unless and until Landlord receives written notice of the need for such repair and provided further that Landlord shall not be obligated to repair any tenant improvements or Building systems which are not included as part of Premises Work (as set forth in the Work Letter). Landlord shall make any applicable repairs promptly upon receiving Tenant’s written notice of the need for such repair. All costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with Landlord’s obligations under this Section 11(b) shall be included in Operating Expenses unless such expense is expressly excluded from the definition of Operating Expenses.
c. Landlord shall keep and maintain or cause the Association to keep and maintain all Common Facilities of the Property and any sidewalks, parking areas, curbs, and
-15- |
access ways adjoining the Property in a clean and orderly condition, free of accumulation of dirt and rubbish, snow and ice, and shall keep and maintain all landscaped areas within the Property in a neat and orderly condition. All costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with Landlord’s obligations under this Section 11(c) shall be included in Operating Expenses unless such expense is expressly excluded from the definition of Operating Expenses.
12. Utilities and Services.
a. HVAC.
i. The heating, ventilating, and air conditioning for the Building (including both Common Facilities and portions of the Building which are leased to tenants) is provided through an electrically operated package unit system (the “HVAC System”). As provided in Section 12(b) below, the costs of electrical service for the HVAC System are payable by Tenant, to the extent allocable to heating, ventilating, and cooling of the Premises as well as to the extent allocable to heating, ventilating, and cooling of the Common Facilities in the Building. Landlord shall maintain and repair the HVAC System, and the cost thereof shall be included in Operating Expenses.
ii. If Tenant requires supplementary heating, ventilating, or air conditioning for its Premises, Tenant shall pay all costs in connection with the installation and operation thereof. If Tenant requires HVAC service outside of the Building’s Business Hours (as defined below), Tenant shall notify the property manager by 2:00 p.m. on the preceding business day and shall pay all costs associated with such after-hours service at Landlord’s actual cost of operation without xxxx-up within ten (10) days after delivery of a statement from Landlord for the amount due.

ii. Tenant agrees that its consumption of electric energy will be submetered by Landlord, or if no submeter shall be installed, Landlord shall reasonably calculate Tenant’s consumption of electricity. Landlord shall compute the cost of the electricity used by Tenant on the basis of the rate paid by Landlord to the utility company (including all demand costs, surcharges, taxes, fuel adjustments, transfer charges and similar charges paid by Landlord to such utility) and shall xxxx the amount to Tenant. Upon request of Tenant, Landlord shall provide to Tenant copies of any such utility bills. Tenant shall pay Landlord all such charges as Additional Rent within ten (10) days after delivery of a statement from Landlord for the amount due. Tenant acknowledges that some of the package units of the HVAC System which service the Premises may now or in the future service other portions of the Building, and that, accordingly, Tenant’s use thereof may not be separately submetered. Landlord shall allocate the electrical costs associated with operation of any such package units based upon the square footage serviced by such units, or in accordance with such other method as Landlord shall
-16- |
determine to be reasonable. Landlord, at its option, in lieu of such charges to Tenant for Tenant’s actual electrical usage, may xxxx Tenant a monthly estimate of such electric charges, subject to annual reconciliation based on actual usage per Tenant’s submeter. Tenant shall pay Landlord the cost of such electrical energy, as so calculated on a monthly basis, as Additional Rent, together with the payment of Fixed Basic Rent.
iii. Tenant shall be billed its proportionate share of charges for electricity (including any taxes on such service) for the Common Facilities of the Building, as well as Tenant’s proportionate share of the costs of electrical service for the HVAC System allocable to heating, ventilating, and cooling of the Common Facilities in the Building, as reasonably determined by Landlord by proration or otherwise, and at the same rate as Tenant would pay directly to the utility company for providing such service. All such charges for such service shall be due and payable by Tenant within ten (10) days after receiving bills therefor from Landlord.
iv. Tenant agrees that if, in the future, it is required by the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission or by a Federal or state law or by applicable tariff as a necessary condition to the supply of electric energy to the Premises or any part thereof, to become the direct customer of the applicable utility, Tenant will do so.
v. Tenant’s use of electric energy shall not at any time exceed the safe capacity of the electric conductors, wiring, or equipment in or serving the Premises.

c. Water. Landlord shall provide hot and cold water for normal lavatory purposes. If Tenant requires water for additional purposes, Landlord may, at Tenant’s expense, install meters to measure the water used by Tenant for such additional purposes. Landlord shall compute the cost of the water used by Tenant for such additional purposes and shall xxxx such amount to Tenant on a monthly basis. Tenant shall pay Landlord all such charges as Additional Rent within ten (10) days after delivery of a statement from Landlord for the amount due.
d. Elevator Service. Landlord shall provide normal elevator service during Business Hours and shall provide limited elevator service at other times. Landlord shall provide freight elevator service at reasonable times. “Business Hours” shall mean Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. and Saturday from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.

Such costs and expenses shall be payable as Additional Rent and shall be paid by Tenant within thirty (30) days after delivery of a statement from Landlord for the amount due.
(3) Landlord shall not be liable for any injury to or interference with Tenant’s business arising from the making of any repairs, alterations, additions, or improvements in or to the Premises or the Building or to any appurtenances or equipment in the Premises or the Building.

(1) impose any liability on Landlord or give rise to any claim for damages against Landlord (including, without limitation, any claim for damages by reason of loss of profits, business interruption, or other consequential damages);
(2) constitute a default by Landlord under this Lease or relieve Tenant from the performance of its obligations under this Lease;
(3) entitle Tenant to any abatement or reduction in Rent; or
(4) give rise to a claim in Tenant’s favor that such absence of services constitutes actual or constructive eviction or renders the Premises untenantable.

If Landlord consents to any proposed alterations, improvements, or additions, then Tenant at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, may make the proposed alterations, improvements, and additions provided that: (i) Tenant supplies any necessary permits and approvals; (ii) such alterations and improvements do not, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, impair the structural strength of the Building or any other improvements or reduce the value of the Property and are at least equal in quality to the tenant improvements installed as part of the Premises Work; (iii) Tenant takes or causes to be taken all steps that are otherwise required by Section 15 of this Lease and that are required or permitted by law in order to avoid the imposition of any mechanic’s, laborer’s or materialman’s lien upon the Premises or the Property; (iv) Tenant uses a contractor approved by Landlord such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed, so long as such contractor shall not disturb labor relations with or interfere with Landlord’s employees, agents, contractors, or subcontractors; (v) the occupants of the Building and of any adjoining real estate owned by Landlord are not unreasonably annoyed or disturbed by such work; (vi) the alterations, improvements, or additions shall be installed in accordance with the approved plans and specifications and completed according to a construction schedule approved by Landlord such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed; and (vii) Tenant provides insurance of the types and coverage amounts required by Landlord.

d. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease or in any other writing signed by Landlord, neither this Lease nor any other writing signed by Landlord shall be construed as evidencing, indicating, or causing an appearance that any erection, construction, alteration, or repair to be done, or caused to be done, by Tenant is or was in fact for the immediate use and benefit of Landlord. Further, notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, nothing contained in or contemplated by this Lease shall be deemed or construed in any way to constitute the consent or request on the part of Landlord for the performance of any work or services or the furnishing of any materials for which any lien could be filed against the Premises or the Property or any part of any thereof, nor as giving Tenant any right, power, or authority to contract for or permit the performance of any work or services or the furnishing of any materials for which any lien could be filed against the Premises, the Property or any part of any thereof.
16. Negative Covenants of Tenant.
a. System Changes. Supplementing the provisions of Section 14 above, Tenant shall not install any equipment of any kind or nature whatsoever which would or could, in Landlord’s judgment, necessitate any change, replacement, or addition to (or which might cause damage to) the plumbing, heating, air-conditioning, or electrical systems serving the Premises or

17. Landlord’s Right of Entry.
a. Tenant shall permit Landlord and the authorized representatives of Landlord and of any mortgagee or any prospective mortgagee to enter the Premises at all reasonable times, with prior notice to Tenant, for the purpose of (i) inspecting the Premises or (ii) making any
-24- |
necessary repairs to the Premises or to the Building and performing any work therein. During the progress of any work on the Premises or the Building, Landlord shall reasonably endeavor to minimize any injury to or interference with Tenant’s business while inspecting the Premises or making any repairs, alterations, additions, or improvements in or to the Premises or the Building or to any appurtenances or equipment in the Premises or the Building, but shall not be liable for inconvenience, annoyance, disturbance, loss of business, or other damage to Tenant by reason of making any repair or by bringing or storing materials, supplies, tools, and equipment in the Premises during the performance of any work, and the obligations of Tenant under this Lease shall not be thereby affected in any manner whatsoever.

c. If during the last six (6) months of the Term, the Premises are vacated or abandoned by Tenant, Landlord shall be permitted to show the Premises at any time and to prepare the Premises for re-occupancy, including the demolition, alteration, and reconstruction of tenant improvements therein provided, however, nothing herein shall relieve Tenant of its obligation to pay Rent in accordance with the terms of this Lease.
18. Damage by Fire or Other Casualty.
a. If the Premises or Building is damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty, Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord whereupon Landlord shall, subject to the consent of Landlord’s present or future mortgagee and to the conditions set forth in this Section 18, repair, rebuild, or replace such damage and restore the Premises to substantially the same condition as the Premises were in immediately prior to such damage or destruction; provided, however, that Landlord shall only be obligated to restore such damage or destruction to the extent of the proceeds of fire and other extended coverage insurance policies. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Premises is destroyed or damaged to the extent that in Landlord’s reasonable judgment the Premises cannot be repaired or restored within one hundred eighty (180) days after such casualty, Landlord may terminate this Lease by written notice to Tenant within ninety (90) days after the date of such casualty.
b. The repair, rebuilding, or replacement work shall be commenced promptly and completed with due diligence, taking into account the time required by Landlord to effect a settlement with, and procure insurance proceeds from, the insurer, and for delays beyond Landlord’s reasonable control.
c. The net amount of any insurance proceeds recovered by reason of the damage or destruction of the Building (meaning the gross insurance proceeds excluding proceeds received pursuant to a rental coverage endorsement and the cost of adjusting the insurance claim and collecting the insurance proceeds) shall be applied towards the cost of restoration. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, if in Landlord’s reasonable opinion the net amount of insurance proceeds will not be adequate to complete such restoration, Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease and all the unaccrued obligations of the parties hereto
-25- |
by sending a written notice of such termination to Tenant specifying a termination date no less than ten (10) days after its transmission; provided, however, that Tenant may require Landlord to withdraw the notice of termination by agreeing to pay the cost of restoration in excess of the net insurance proceeds and by giving Landlord adequate security for such payment prior to the termination date specified in Landlord’s notice of termination. If the net insurance proceeds are more than adequate, the amount by which the net insurance proceeds exceed the cost of restoration will be retained by Landlord or applied to repayment of any mortgage secured by the Property.
d. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord’s obligation or election to restore the Premises under this section or to terminate this Lease shall be subject to the terms of any present or future mortgage affecting the Premises and to the mortgagee’s consent if required in the mortgage and shall not, in any event, include the repair, restoration, or replacement of the fixtures, improvements, alterations, furniture, or any other property owned, installed, made by, or in the possession of Tenant.
e. If Tenant is dispossessed of the Premises due to fire or other casualty, Tenant will receive a pro-rata abatement of its Fixed Basic Rent during the period Tenant is dispossessed to the extent of such dispossession.
19. Non-Abatement of Rent. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Lease, there shall be no abatement or reduction of the Fixed Basic Rent, Additional Rent, or other sums payable under this Lease for any cause whatsoever and this Lease shall not terminate, nor shall Tenant be entitled to surrender the Premises, in the event of fire, casualty, or condemnation, or any default by Landlord under this Lease.
20. Indemnification. Unless such loss, costs, or damages were caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or its employees, agents, or contractors, Tenant hereby agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold Landlord and its employees, agents, and contractors harmless from any loss, costs, and damages (including reasonable attorney’s fees and costs) suffered by Landlord, its agents, employees, or contractors, as a result of any claim by a third party, its agents, employees, or contractors arising from Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises. Tenant shall have the right to designate counsel acceptable to Landlord, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, to assume the defense of any such third party claim on behalf of itself and Landlord. Landlord shall not have the right to settle any claim without the consent of Tenant. This indemnity shall survive the expiration of the Term or earlier termination of this Lease.
21. Eminent Domain.
a. Total or Partial Taking. In the event of exercise of the power of eminent domain whereby:
i. such portion of the Property is taken that access to the Premises is permanently impaired thereby and reasonable alternate access is not provided by Landlord within a time period which is reasonable under the circumstances; or
ii. all or substantially all of the Premises or the Property is taken; or
-26- |
iii. less than substantially all of the Property is taken but Landlord, acting in good faith, determines that it is economically unfeasible to continue to operate the uncondemned portion of the Building as a first-class office building; or
iv. less than substantially all of the Premises is taken, but Tenant, acting in good faith, determines that because of such taking it is economically unfeasible to continue to conduct its business in the uncondemned portion of the Premises;
v. then in the case of (i) or (ii), either party, and in the case of (iii), Landlord, and in the case of (iv), Tenant, shall have the right to terminate this Lease as of the date when possession of that part which was taken is required to be delivered or surrendered to the condemning authority; and in such case all Fixed Basic Rent and other charges shall be adjusted to the date of termination. A “taking” as such term, is used in this Section 21 shall include a transfer of title or of any interest in the Property by deed or other instrument in settlement of or in lieu of transfer by operation of law incident to condemnation proceedings.
b. Tenant’s Waiver. Regardless of whether this Lease shall terminate, Tenant shall have no right to participate or share in any condemnation claim, damage award or settlement in lieu thereof with respect to any taking of any nature; provided, however, that Tenant shall not be precluded from claiming or receiving payment for Tenant’s relocation and moving expenses and the value of Tenant’s improvements as may be permitted under applicable law so long as the amount of same does not reduce the award which Landlord is entitled to receive.
-27- |
22. Quiet Enjoyment. Tenant, upon paying the Fixed Basic Rent, Additional Rent, and other charges herein required, and observing and keeping all covenants, agreements and conditions of this Lease, shall quietly have and enjoy the Premises during the Term without hindrance or molestation by anyone claiming by or through Landlord, subject, however, to the exceptions, reservations, and conditions of this Lease and any mortgage to which this Lease shall be subordinate. Landlord and Tenant each acknowledge and agree that this Lease is made and shall continue to be subject and subordinate to the REA, the Declaration, and the declaration of Xxxxx Preserve.
23. Rules and Regulations. Landlord hereby reserves the right to prescribe, from time to time, at its sole discretion, reasonable rules and regulations (herein called the “Rules and Regulations”) attached hereto as Exhibit F governing the use and enjoyment of the Premises and the remainder of the Property. The Rules and Regulations shall not materially interfere with Tenant’s use and enjoyment of the Premises in accordance with the provisions of this Lease for the Permitted Use and shall not increase or modify Tenant’s monetary obligations under this Lease. In the event of a conflict between the Lease and such Rules and Regulations, the Lease shall control. Tenant shall comply at all times with the Rules and Regulations and shall cause its agents, employees, invitees, visitors, and guests to do so. Landlord shall not be responsible to Tenant for non-observance or violation of any of the Rules and Regulations by any tenant of the Building, but shall enforce such Rules and Regulations in a uniform manner.
24. Assignment and Sublease.
a. In the event Tenant desires to assign this Lease or sublease all or part of the Premises to any other party, Tenant shall provide written notice of the terms and conditions of such assignment or Sublease to Landlord prior to the effective date of any such sublease or assignment, and, prior to such effective date, Landlord shall have the option, exercisable by written notice to Tenant within ten (10) business days of Landlord’s receipt of written notice from Tenant, to recapture (in the case of subletting) that portion of the Premises to be sublet or (in the case of an assignment) all of the Premises (“Recapture Space”) whereupon Tenant shall be fully released from any and all obligations hereunder with respect to the Recapture Space.
b. In the event that Landlord elects not to recapture the Recapture Space as provided in Section 24(a) above, Tenant may assign this Lease or sublet the whole or any portion of the Premises, subject to Landlord’s prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed, on the basis of the following terms and conditions:
i. Tenant shall provide to Landlord the following:
(1) The name and address of the proposed assignee or subtenant;
(2) All the terms and conditions of the assignment or subletting;
(3) The nature and character of the business of the proposed assignee or subtenant;
-28- |
(4) Banking, financial, and other credit information relating to the proposed assignee or subtenant reasonably sufficient to enable Landlord to determine the proposed assignee’s or sublessee’s financial responsibility; and
(5) In the event of a subleasing of only a portion of the Premises, plans and specifications for tenant’s layout, partitioning, and electrical installations for the portion of the Premises to be subleased.
ii. Tenant acknowledges that it shall not be unreasonable for Landlord to withhold its consent if Tenant shall seek to assign or sublet to the following:
(1) To a government or quasi-government agency;
(2) To an entity whose financial or business character is not consistent with the other tenants in the Building;
(3) To an existing tenant of the Building, if such tenant has expansion options in its lease for space in the Building;
(4) To a tenant for a rental rate less than that which Tenant is paying, if the Building is less than eighty-five percent (85%) leased; or
(5) To a tenant or prospect with whom Landlord or an affiliate of Landlord currently is negotiating for space in the Park.
iii. The assignee or subtenant shall assume, by written instrument, all of the obligations of Tenant as provided by this Lease, and a copy of such assumption agreement shall be furnished to Landlord within ten (10) days of its execution, provided, however, any such subtenants shall only be obligated to assume Tenant’s obligations arising under this Lease with respect to the portion of the Premises sublet. Any sublease shall expressly acknowledge that said subtenant’s rights in and to the Premises shall be no greater than those of Tenant. In addition, any request by Tenant for Landlord’s consent to an assignment or sublease shall not include any option or right of expansion, renewal, first refusal, or any other right or option with respect to the Premises, any other portion of the Building or for any period of time beyond the original Term, Tenant hereby acknowledging that such rights and options, if any, are personal to Tenant.
iv. Tenant and each assignee shall be and remain liable for the observance of all the covenants and provisions of this Lease, including, but not limited to, the payment of Fixed Basic Rent and Additional Rent reserved herein, through the entire Term, as the same may be renewed, extended, or otherwise modified.
v. Tenant and any assignee or subtenant, as applicable, shall promptly pay to Landlord fifty percent (50%) of the positive difference between the rent paid by such subtenant or assignee on a monthly basis and the amount of rent due for such month pursuant to this Lease.
vi. In any event, the acceptance by Landlord of any rent from the assignee or from any of the subtenants or the failure of Landlord to insist upon a strict
-29- |
performance of any of the terms, conditions, and covenants herein shall not release Tenant herein, nor any assignee or subtenant, from any and all of the obligations to be performed by it in accordance herewith during and for the entire Term.
vii. Tenant shall pay to Landlord the sum of One Thousand Five Hundred and 00/100 Dollars ($1,500.00) to cover its handling charges for each consent to any sublet or assignment prior to its consideration of the same. Tenant acknowledges that its sole remedy with respect to any assertion that Landlord’s failure to consent to any sublet or assignment is unreasonable shall be the remedy of specific performance and Tenant shall have no other claim or cause of action against Landlord as a result of Landlord’s actions in refusing to consent thereto.
c. If Tenant is a corporation other than a corporation whose stock is listed and traded on a nationally recognized stock exchange, the provisions of Section 24(a) hereof shall apply to a transfer (however accomplished, whether in a single transaction or in a series of related or unrelated transactions) of stock (or any other mechanism such as, by way of example, the issuance of additional stock, a stock voting agreement or change in class(es) of stock) which results in a change of control of Tenant as if such transfer of stock (or other mechanism) which results in a change of control of Tenant were an assignment of this Lease, and if Tenant is a partnership, limited liability company, or joint venture, said provisions shall apply with respect to a transfer (by one (1) or more transfers) of an interest in the distributions of profits and losses of such partnership, limited liability company, or joint venture (or other mechanism, such as, by way of example, the creation of additional general partnership or limited partnership or member interests) which results in a change of control of such a partnership, limited liability company, or joint venture, as if such transfer of an interest in the distributions of profits and losses of such partnership or joint venture which results in a change of control of such partnership, limited liability company, or joint venture were an assignment of this Lease; but said provisions shall not apply to transactions with a corporation into or with which Tenant is merged or consolidated or to which all or substantially all of Tenant’s assets are transferred or to any corporation which controls or is controlled by Tenant or is under common control with Tenant, provided that in the event of such merger, consolidation, or transfer of all or substantially all of Tenant’s assets (i) the successor to Tenant has a net worth computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles at least equal to the greater of (1) the net worth of Tenant immediately prior to such merger, consolidation, or transfer, or (2) the net worth of Tenant herein named on the date of this Lease; and (ii) proof satisfactory to Landlord of such net worth shall have been delivered to Landlord within five (5) business days following the effective date of any such transaction.
d. Without limiting any of the provisions of this Section 24, if pursuant to the Federal Bankruptcy Code (herein referred to as the “Code”), or any similar law hereafter enacted having the same general purpose, Tenant is permitted to assign this Lease notwithstanding the restrictions contained in this Lease, adequate assurance of future performance by an assignee expressly permitted under such Code shall be deemed to mean the deposit of cash security in an amount equal to the sum of one (1) year’s Fixed Basic Rent plus an amount equal to the Additional Rent for the calendar year preceding the year in which such assignment is intended to become effective, which deposit shall be held by Landlord for the balance of the Term, without interest, as security for the full performance of all of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, to be held and applied in the manner specified for any security deposit required hereunder.
-30- |
e. Except as specifically set forth above, no portion of the Premises or of Tenant’s interest in this Lease may be acquired by any other person or entity, whether by assignment, mortgage, sublease, transfer, operation of law, or act of Tenant, nor shall Tenant pledge its interest in this Lease or in any security deposit required hereunder.
25. Signs.
a. Landlord shall:
i. include Tenant’s name on the main lobby Building directory, at Landlord’s expense;
ii. install Building standard entry signage identifying Tenant at the door of the Premises, at Landlord’s expense.
b. Tenant shall not install any signs in or on the Premises that are visible outside the Premises without the prior written consent of Landlord. The installation of signs shall be considered an alteration, and Tenant shall comply with the requirements of Section 14 in connection with the installation of signs.
c. Tenant shall have the right to remove any signs installed by Tenant at the termination of the Term, provided Tenant is then not in default under this Lease after expiration of applicable periods of notice and cure. In addition, Tenant shall be obligated to remove any signs installed by Tenant if Landlord requires that Tenant remove the same. Tenant shall repair and restore any damage to the Premises caused by the installation or removal of any signs, whether such signs are removed at the election of Tenant or pursuant to the requirement of Landlord. Should Tenant fail to perform any of its obligations under this Section 25(c), Landlord may perform such obligations on behalf of Tenant, and the cost and expense thereof, together with Interest from the date such costs and expenses were incurred by Landlord, shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord as Additional Rent within thirty (30) days after delivery of a statement from Landlord for the amount due.
26. Subordination. This Lease and Tenant’s rights under this Lease shall be subject and subordinate at all times in lien and priority to any first mortgage or other primary encumbrance now or hereafter placed upon or affecting the Property or the Premises, and to any second mortgage or encumbrance with the consent of the first mortgagee, and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, and extensions thereof, without the necessity of any further instrument or act on the part of Tenant. Tenant shall execute and deliver, within ten (10) business days following Landlord’s request therefor, any further instrument or instruments, including a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I, confirming the subordination of this Lease to the lien of any such first mortgage or to the lien of any other mortgage, if requested to do so by Landlord with the consent of the first mortgagee, and any further instrument or instruments of attornment that may be desired by any such mortgagee or Landlord, provided, however, that any holder of such lien or mortgage agrees not to disturb the use and occupancy of the Premises in accordance with the terms of this Lease upon any foreclosure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any mortgagee may at any time subordinate its mortgage to this Lease, without Tenant’s consent, by giving notice in
-31- |
writing to Tenant and thereupon this Lease shall be deemed prior to such mortgage without regard to their respective dates of execution and delivery. In that event such mortgagee shall have the same rights with respect to this Lease as though this Lease had been executed prior to the execution and delivery of the mortgage and had been assigned to such mortgagee.
27. Curing Tenant’s Defaults. If Tenant defaults in the performance of any of its obligations under this Lease, Landlord may, without any obligation to do so and in addition to any other rights it may have in law or equity, elect to cure such default on behalf of Tenant after written notice (except in the case of emergency) to Tenant. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any sums paid or costs incurred by Landlord in curing such default, including Interest thereon from the respective dates of Landlord’s making the payments and incurring such costs, which sums and costs together with interest thereon shall be deemed Additional Rent payable within thirty (30) days after delivery of a statement from Landlord for the amount due.
28. Surrender.
a. At the expiration of the Term or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall promptly yield up the Premises and all improvements, alterations, and additions thereto, and all fixtures and equipment servicing the Premises in a condition which is clean of garbage and debris and broom clean and in the same condition, order, and repair in which they are required to be kept throughout the Term, reasonable wear and tear excepted. In furtherance of the foregoing, if required by Landlord, all wiring or cabling installed by or for Tenant, whether inside or outside the Premises, shall be removed by Tenant (or, at Landlord’s election, by Landlord), at Tenant’s sole cost and expense.
b. If Tenant, or any person claiming through Tenant, continues to occupy the Premises after the expiration of the Term or earlier termination of this Lease or any renewal thereof without prior written consent of Landlord, the tenancy under this Lease shall become, at the option of Landlord, expressed in a written notice to Tenant and not otherwise, a tenancy from month-to-month, terminable by Landlord or Tenant on thirty (30) days prior notice to the other, under the same terms and conditions set forth in this Lease except Fixed Basic Rent shall be as set forth in the following sentence. For any period during which Tenant or any person claiming through Tenant continues to occupy the Premises after the expiration of the Term or earlier termination of this Lease or any renewal thereof, the Fixed Basic Rent during such continued occupancy shall be one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the greater of: (x) the Fixed Basic Rent for the last year of the Term or (y) the then fair market rental rate as determined by Landlord; and Tenant shall indemnify Landlord for any loss or damage incurred by reason of Tenant’s failure to surrender the Premises. Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, any holding over by Tenant without Landlord’s prior written consent shall constitute an Event of Default under this Lease and shall be subject to all the remedies set forth in Section 29(b) of this Lease.
29. Defaults-Remedies.
a. Defaults. It shall be an event of default under this Lease if any one (1) or more of the following events occurs (each, an “Event of Default”):
-32- |
i. Tenant fails to pay in full, when due and without demand, any and all installments of Fixed Basic Rent or Additional Rent or any other charges or payments due and payable under this Lease whether or not herein included as rent and such failure continues for more than five (5) days after Tenant is given written notice of such failure provided, however, Tenant shall not be entitled to such notice and cure period more than one (1) time during the Lease Term.
ii. Tenant violates or fails to perform or otherwise breaches any agreement, term, covenant, or condition contained in this Lease and such breach continues for a period of thirty (30) days following the date of Landlord’s notice of such breach.
iii. Tenant abandons or vacates the Premises without notice and without having first paid to Landlord in full all Fixed Basic Rent, Additional Rent, and other charges that have become due as well as all which will become due thereafter through the end of the Term.
iv. Tenant fails to furnish a Tenant Estoppel Certificate within the time period provided by Section 37.
v. Tenant becomes insolvent or bankrupt in any sense or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors or if a petition in bankruptcy or for reorganization or for an arrangement with creditors under any federal or state law is filed by or against Tenant, or a xxxx in equity or other proceeding for the appointment of a receiver or similar official for any of Tenant’s assets is commenced, or if any of the real or personal property of Tenant shall be levied upon by any sheriff, marshal, or constable; provided, however, that any proceeding brought by anyone other than the parties to this Lease under any bankruptcy, reorganization arrangement, insolvency, readjustment, receivership or similar law shall not constitute an Event of Default until such proceeding, decree, judgment, or order has continued unstayed for more than
sixty (60) consecutive days.
b. Remedies. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under this Lease, Landlord shall have all of the following rights:
i. Landlord may charge a late payment charge and/or interest as specified in Section 9. In addition, if Landlord incurs a late charge in connection with any payment which Tenant has failed to make within the times required in this Lease, Tenant shall pay Landlord, in addition to such payment due, the full amount of such late charge incurred by Landlord. Nothing in this Lease shall be construed as waiving any rights of Landlord arising out of any default of Tenant, by reason of Landlord’s imposing or accepting any such late charge(s) and/or interest; the right to collect such late charge(s) and/or interest is separate and apart from any rights relating to remedies of Landlord after default by Tenant including, without limitation, the rights and remedies of Landlord provided herein.
ii. Landlord shall be entitled to damages computed in accordance with Section 29(c) below.
iii. Landlord may re-enter the Premises and, at the option of Landlord, remove all persons and all or any property therefrom, either by summary dispossess proceedings
-33- |
or by any suitable action or proceeding at law or by force or otherwise, without being liable for prosecution or damages therefor, and Landlord may repossess and enjoy the Premises. Upon recovering possession of the Premises by reason of or based upon or arising out of a default on the part of Tenant, Landlord may, at Landlord’s option, either terminate this Lease or make such alterations and repairs as may be necessary, as reasonably determined by Landlord, in order to relet the Premises and may relet the Premises or any part or parts thereof, either in Landlord’s name or otherwise, for a term or terms which may, at Landlord’s option, be less than or exceed the period which would otherwise have constituted the balance of the Term and at such rent or rents and upon such other terms and conditions as in Landlord’s sole discretion may seem advisable and to such person or persons as may in Landlord’s discretion seem best; upon each such reletting all rents received by Landlord from such reletting shall be applied as follows: first, to the payment of any costs and expenses of such reletting, including all costs of alterations and repairs; second, to the payment of any indebtedness other than Fixed Basic Rent, Additional Rent, or other charges due hereunder from Tenant to Landlord; third, to the payment of Fixed Basic Rent, Additional Rent, and other charges due and unpaid hereunder; and the residue, if any, shall be held by Landlord and applied in payment of future rent as it may become due and payable hereunder. If rentals received from reletting during any month are less than that to be paid during that month by Tenant, Tenant shall pay any such deficiency to Landlord. Such deficiency shall be calculated and paid monthly. No such re-entry or taking possession of the Premises or the making of alterations or improvements thereto or the reletting thereof shall be construed as an election on the part of Landlord to terminate this Lease unless written notice of termination is given to Tenant. Landlord shall in no event be liable in any way whatsoever for failure to relet the Premises or, in the event that the Premises or any part or parts thereof are relet, for failure to collect the rent thereof under such reletting. Notwithstanding any such reletting without termination, Landlord may at any time thereafter elect to terminate this Lease for such previous breach.
iv. Landlord may terminate this Lease and the Term without any right on the part of Tenant to waive the forfeiture by payment of any sum due or by other performance of any condition, term, or covenant broken.
v. CONFESSION OF JUDGMENT FOR POSSESSION. UPON THE OCCURRENCE OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT OR UPON THE EXPIRATION OR TERMINATION OF THE TERM OF THIS LEASE, FOR THE PURPOSE OF OBTAINING POSSESSION OF THE PREMISES, TENANT HEREBY AUTHORIZES AND EMPOWERS THE PROTHONOTARY OR ANY ATTORNEY OF ANY COURT OF RECORD IN THE COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA OR ELSEWHERE, AS ATTORNEY FOR TENANT AND ALL PERSONS CLAIMING UNDER OR THROUGH TENANT, TO APPEAR FOR AND CONFESS JUDGMENT AGAINST TENANT FOR POSSESSION OF THE PREMISES, AND AGAINST ALL PERSONS CLAIMING UNDER OR THROUGH TENANT, IN FAVOR OF LANDLORD, FOR RECOVERY BY LANDLORD OF POSSESSION THEREOF, FOR WHICH THIS AGREEMENT OR A COPY HEREOF VERIFIED BY AFFIDAVIT, SHALL BE A SUFFICIENT WARRANT; AND THEREUPON A WRIT OF POSSESSION MAY IMMEDIATELY ISSUE FOR POSSESSION OF THE PREMISES, WITHOUT ANY PRIOR WRIT OR PROCEEDING WHATSOEVER AND WITHOUT ANY STAY OF EXECUTION. IF FOR ANY REASON AFTER SUCH ACTION HAS BEEN COMMENCED THE SAME SHALL BE TERMINATED AND THE
-34- |
POSSESSION OF THE PREMISES REMAINS IN OR IS RESTORED TO TENANT, LANDLORD SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT UPON THE OCCURRENCE OF ANY SUBSEQUENT EVENT OF DEFAULT TO CONFESS JUDGMENT IN ONE (1) OR MORE FURTHER ACTIONS IN THE MANNER AND FORM SET FORTH ABOVE TO RECOVER POSSESSION OF SAID PREMISES FOR SUCH SUBSEQUENT DEFAULT. TENANT WAIVES ALL ERRORS IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH CONFESSION OF JUDGMENT. NO SUCH TERMINATION OF THIS LEASE, NOR TAKING, NOR RECOVERING POSSESSION OF THE PREMISES SHALL DEPRIVE LANDLORD OF ANY REMEDIES OR ACTION AGAINST TENANT FOR FIXED BASIC RENT, ADDITIONAL RENT OR FOR OTHER SUMS DUE HEREUNDER OR FOR DAMAGES DUE OR TO BECOME DUE FOR THE BREACH OF ANY CONDITION OR COVENANT HEREIN CONTAINED, NOR SHALL THE BRINGING OF ANY SUCH ACTION FOR RENT AND/OR OTHER SUMS DUE HEREUNDER, OR BREACH OF COVENANT OR CONDITION NOR THE RESORT TO ANY OTHER REMEDY HEREIN PROVIDED FOR THE RECOVERY OF RENT AND/OR OTHER SUMS DUE HEREUNDER OR DAMAGES FOR SUCH BREACH BE CONSTRUED AS A WAIVER OF THE RIGHT TO INSIST UPON THE FORFEITURE AND TO OBTAIN POSSESSION IN THE MANNER HEREIN PROVIDED.
vi. CONFESSION OF JUDGMENT FOR MONEY DAMAGES. Intentionally Deleted.
vii. TENANT HEREBY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE DUTIES IMPOSED ON ANY PERSON RELYING UPON OR EXERCISING THE WARRANT OF ATTORNEY TO CONFESS JUDGMENT CONTAINED IN THIS INSTRUMENT, AS SUCH DUTIES ARE PROVIDED IN SECTION 5601.3(B) OF THE PENNSYLVANIA PROBATE ESTATE AND FIDUCIARIES CODE, 20 PA.C.S.A., SECTION 5601.3(B). TENANT ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT IS ITS EXPECTATION THAT LANDLORD SHALL, UPON THE OCCURRENCE OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT UNDER THIS INSTRUMENT, ENTER JUDGMENT BY CONFESSION AGAINST TENANT AND THEREAFTER RECOVER POSSESSION OF THE PREMISES OR COLLECT RENT AND SUCH OTHER SUMS AS ARE DUE, AND THAT SUCH ACTIONS BY LANDLORD ARE NOT CONTRARY TO TENANT’S BEST INTEREST, AND SUCH ACTION BY LANDLORD SHALL NOT CONSTITUTE AN ABSENCE OF LANDLORD’S GOOD FAITH, NOR AN ACTION BEYOND THE SCOPE OF AUTHORITY GRANTED BY THIS INSTRUMENT.

The failure of either party hereto in any one (1) or more instances to insist upon the strict performance of any one (1) or more of the agreements, terms, covenants, conditions or obligations of this Lease, or to exercise any right, remedy, or election herein contained, shall not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment of the right to insist upon such performance or exercise in the future, and such right shall continue and remain in full force and effect with respect to any subsequent breach, act, or omission.

It is understood and agreed that any such change or changes required by such mortgagee shall not materially affect or alter: (1) the Fixed Basic Rent; (2) the size of the Premises; or (3) any Premises Work agreed to be performed in the Premises by Landlord.
