"AS-IS" condition without any obligation of the Landlord to make any

properly distribute the weight.

period between the Commencement Date and the first day of the next first full
calendar month in the Term and such apportioned sum shall be paid on the
Commencement Date.
6. Additional Rent; Tenant's Personalty.

Additional rent shall be due upon invoicing, without any deduction, offset or
counterclaim of any kind for any reason whatsoever and without prior notice or
demand.
b) Tenant shall pay all taxes imposed upon Tenant's occupancy, business,
furnishings, trade fixtures, equipment or other personal property. If any such
taxes are levied or assessed against Landlord or Prime Landlord or their
respective interests in the Premises or the Building, or if the personal

the Premises or the Building, and Landlord elects to pay such taxes or such
increase in taxes, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for same upon demand.

interest rate equal to the Prime Rate published from time to time in the Money
Rates column of the Wall Street Journal (East Coast Edition) plus 3% (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 interest with respect to past due installments of Fixed
Basic Rent and Additional Rent is in addition to Landlord's rights and remedies
upon an event of default.

costs or expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with the terms and

negligence of Tenant, or any of Tenant's agents, business invitees or customers,
or (iii) any breach or default by Tenant under this Lease. This indemnity shall

representations being specifically designed to induce Landlord to execute this
Lease, that during the entire Term, at its sole cost and expense, Tenant shall
obtain, maintain and keep in full force and effect the following insurance:
(1) "All Risk" property insurance against fire, theft, vandalism,
malicious mischief, sprinkler leakage and such additional perils as are now, or
hereafter may be, included in a standard extended coverage endorsement from time
to time in general use in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania upon property of
every description and kind owned by Tenant and or under Tenant's care, custody
or control located in the Building or within the Premises or for which Tenant is
legally liable or installed by or on behalf of Tenant, including by way of
example and not by way of limitation, alterations, equipment, inventory,
furniture, fixtures, fittings, installations and any other personal property in
an amount equal to the full replacement cost thereof.
(2) Commercial General Liability Insurance coverage to include an
endorsement covering Tenant's obligations pursuant to Section 9 hereof, covering
personal
-5-
injury, bodily injury and death and broad form property damage naming Landlord,
Prime Landlord and Prime Landlord's mortgagee or trust deed holder and ground
lessors (if any) as additional insureds in combined single limits of not less
than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00), which policy shall be payable on an
"occurrence" basis and which limit shall be reasonably increased during the Term
hereof at Landlord's request to reflect both increases in liability exposure
arising from inflation as well as from any changed used of the Premises.
(3) Business interruption insurance in such amounts as will cover
costs, damages, lost income, expenses, Fixed Basic Rent, Additional Rent and all
other sums payable under this Lease and such other perils commonly insured
against by prudent tenants or attributable to prevention or denial of access to
the Premises or Building as a result of such perils.
(4) Workers' Compensation insurance in form and amount as
required by law.
(5) Any other form or forms of insurance or any increase in the
limits of any of the aforesaid enumerated coverages or other forms of insurance
as Landlord, Prime Landlord or the mortgagees or ground lessors (if any) of
Landlord or Prime Landlord may require from time to time if in the opinion of
Landlord, Prime Landlord or said mortgagees or ground lessors said coverage
and/or limits become inadequate or less than that commonly maintained by prudent
tenants in similar buildings in the area by tenants making similar uses.
(ii) All property insurance policies shall be taken out with insurers
rated A- or better (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 Building is located and shall be in form satisfactory,
from time to time, to Landlord and Prime Landlord. A policy or certificate
evidencing such insurance together with a paid xxxx shall be delivered to
Landlord prior to the Commencement Date hereof. Such insurance policy or
certificate will provide an undertaking by the insurers to notify Landlord,
Prime Landlord and the mortgagees or ground lessors (if any) of Landlord and/or
Prime Landlord in writing not less than thirty (30) days prior to any material
change, reduction in coverage, cancellation, or other termination thereof.
Should a certificate of insurance initially be provided, a policy shall be
furnished by Tenant within thirty (30) days of the Commencement Date. The
aforesaid insurance shall be written with no deductible.
(iii) In the event of damage to or destruction of the Building and/or
Premises and this Lease is so terminated, Tenant shall immediately pay to
Landlord all of its insurance proceeds, if any, relating to the leasehold
improvements and alterations (but not Tenant's trade fixtures, equipment,
furniture or other personal property of Tenant in the Premises) which have
become Landlord's property on installation or would have become Landlord's
property at the Term's expiration or sooner termination. If the termination of
the Lease, at Landlord's election, is due to damage to the Building and if the
Premises have not been so damaged, Tenant will deliver to Landlord in accordance
with the provisions of this Lease the improvements and alterations to the
Premises which have become an installation or would have become at the Term's
expiration, Landlord's property.
-6-
(iv) 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 any article which may be prohibited by any insurance policy in force
from time to time covering the Premises. In the event Tenant's occupancy or
conduct of business in or on the Premises, 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, or the Premises, Tenant shall
pay such increase in premiums as Additional Rent within ten (10) days after
being billed therefor by Landlord. In determining whether increased premiums are
a result of Tenant's use and occupancy a schedule issued by the organization
computing the insurance rate on the Premises showing the components of such rate
shall be conclusive evidence of the items and charges making up such rate.
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
or Premises.
(v) If any insurance policy carried by Tenant, Landlord or Prime
Landlord shall be cancelled or cancellation shall be threatened or the coverage
thereunder reduced or threatened to be reduced in any way by reason of the use
or occupation of the Premises or Building or any part thereof by Tenant or any
assignee or subtenant of Tenant or anyone permitted by Tenant to be upon the
Premises, and if Tenant fails to remedy the conditions giving rise to such
cancellation or threatened cancellation or reduction in coverage on or before
the earlier to occur of the following: (i) forty-eight (48) hours after notice
thereof from Landlord or Prime Landlord, or (ii) prior to such cancellation or
reduction becoming effective, then Tenant shall be in default and an event of
default shall occur under this Lease and Landlord shall have all of the remedies
available to Landlord pursuant to this Lease.
b) Waiver of Subrogation. Any policy or policies of fire, extended coverage
or similar casualty insurance, which either party obtains in connection with the
Premises or Building 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. Any and all policies carried by Tenant shall
contain a waiver of subrogation as to Prime Landlord and any additional cost for
the same shall be Tenant's sole responsibility. Except as aforesaid, 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, if not insured, was insurable
under commercially available "all risk" property insurance policies, including
additional coverages typically obtained by owners and tenants of comparable
office buildings in the vicinity of the Building, even if such loss or damage or
legal liability shall be caused by or result from the fault or negligence of the
other party or anyone for whom such party may be responsible and even if the
releasing party is self insured in whole or in part or the amount of the
releasing party's insurance is inadequate to cover the loss or damage or legal
liability. It is the intention of the parties that Landlord and Tenant shall
look solely to their respective insurance carriers for recovery against any such
property loss
-7-
or damage or legal liability, without such insurance carriers having any rights
of subrogation against the other party and in any and all cases, Tenant and its
insurance carriers shall have no rights of subrogation as to Prime Landlord.
11. Repairs and Maintenance.
a) Tenant shall, throughout the Term, and at Tenant's sole cost and
expense, keep and maintain the Premises in good condition and repair, including
performing all of the obligations of Landlord under Section 4.2 of the Prime
Lease. Upon expiration of the Term or the earlier termination of this Lease,
Tenant shall leave the Premises in good order, condition and repair, ordinary
wear and tear excepted. Tenant shall not permit any waste, damage or injury to
the Premises. Tenant shall not use or permit the use of any portion of the
Common Facilities for other than their intended use as specified by the Landlord
and/or Prime Landlord from time to time.
b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, repairs and replacements to the Premises
and the Building arising out of or caused by Tenant's use, manner of use or
occupancy of the Premises, by Tenant's installation of alterations, additions,
improvements, trade fixtures or equipment in or upon the Premises or by any act
or omission of Tenant or any employee, agent, contractor or invitee of Tenant
shall be made at Tenant's sole cost and expense and Tenant shall pay Landlord
and/or Prime Landlord the cost of any such repair or replacement, as Additional
Rent, upon demand.
12. Utilities and Services.
It is the intention of the parties that Tenant be entitled to receive, with
respect to Premises, the benefit of any services, utilities (including water and
heating) repairs, maintenance, facilities and other ongoing services from Prime
Landlord that Landlord, as tenant, receives with respect to the Premises under
the Prime Lease and to the extent the foregoing are applicable to the Premises
leased hereunder, subject in all cases to the terms of the Prime Lease. In
connection with the foregoing, Tenant acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing
described services can only be provided by Prime Landlord and that Landlord has
no right or ability to control the same. As a result, to the extent Prime
Landlord has agreed in the Prime Lease to provide services, utilities, repairs,
facilities and other services to Landlord, as tenant, including the services
under Sections 3.5, 4.1 and 4.3 of the Prime Lease and provided such services
are applicable to the Premises, Landlord agrees, on behalf of Tenant, to
enforce, in a reasonable manner and at Tenant's direction and cost, its rights
against Prime Landlord under the Prime Lease. Tenant hereby releases and holds
Landlord harmless from, and currently waives any claims arising in the future
relating to, any damages, interference, costs and expenses incurred or suffered
by Tenant as a result of (i) the failure of Prime Landlord to properly maintain,
repair or operate the Premises and Building systems, and (ii) the failure of
Prime Landlord to supply any utility and other services to be provided to
Landlord, as tenant, under the Prime Lease. The payment of Fixed Basic Rent and
Additional Rent by Tenant pursuant to this Lease is an absolute and independent
covenant and shall not be affected in any way by the failure of Prime Landlord
to so maintain, repair or operate or to supply any such utility or services
except if and to the extent Landlord's rental obligations to Prime Landlord
under the Prime Lease are abated, reduced, suspended or offset with respect to
the Premises as a result of the foregoing.
-8-
13. Governmental Regulations. Tenant shall comply with all laws, ordinances,
notices, orders, rules, regulations and requirements of all federal, state and
municipal government or any department, commission, board of officer thereof, or
of the National Board of Fire Underwriters or any other body exercising similar
functions, relating to the Premises or to the use or manner of use of the
Building. Tenant shall not knowingly do or commit, or suffer to be done or
committed anywhere in the Building, any act or thing contrary to any of the
laws, ordinances, regulations and requirements referred to in this Section.
Tenant shall give Landlord prompt written notice of any accident in the Premises
and of any breakage, defect or failure in any of the systems or equipment
servicing the Premises or the Building or any portion of the Premises or the
Building. Tenant shall comply in all respects with Section 4.21 of the Prime
Lease as if Tenant were the "Tenant" thereunder, including the obligation to
indemnify Landlord and Prime Landlord for all losses, costs, expenses,
assessments or fees incurred by Landlord and/or Prime Landlord due to Tenant's
failure to completely discharge and comply with its responsibilities and
obligations thereunder.
14. Alterations, Additions and Fixtures.
Tenant shall not make or permit to be made any alterations,
installations, decorations, improvements or additions to the Premises or
Building, including the erection or installation of any signs, changing of any
locks on doors, disturb any floor covering, wall covering, fixtures, plumbing or
wiring (collectively, "Tenant Charges"), without on each occasion first
presenting plans and specifications to Landlord and obtaining both Landlord's
and Prime Landlord's prior written consent. If Landlord and Prime Landlord
consent 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; (ii)
such alterations and improvements do not, in Landlord's and Prime Landlord's
judgment, impair the structural strength of the Building or any other
improvements and are at least equal in quality to the Building's minimum
standard tenant improvements; (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 Building; (iv) Tenant uses
contractors and mechanics approved by Landlord and Prime Landlord; (v) the
occupants of the Building and of any adjoining real estate owned by Landlord or
Prime Landlord are not 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 and Prime Landlord; and (vii) Tenant provides payment and
performance bonds and proof of insurance of the types and coverage amounts
required by Landlord and Prime Landlord and by insurance companies with a
policyholder rating of A- or better as rated by "Best's Key Rating Guide" for
insurance companies at the time such insurance is procured. Any and all
alterations, improvements and additions to the Premises which are constructed,
installed or otherwise made by Tenant shall be the property of Tenant until the
expiration or sooner termination of this Lease; at that time all such
alterations and additions shall remain on the Premises and become the property
of Landlord without payment by Landlord unless, upon the termination of this
Lease, Landlord instructs Tenant in writing to remove the same in which event
Tenant will remove such alterations, improvements and additions, and repair and
restore any damage to the Building or the Premises caused by the installation or
-9-
removal. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, upon demand, the cost and expense
incurred by Landlord in reviewing Tenant's plans and specifications, provided
however, such cost shall not exceed $800.00.
All Tenant Charges shall be performed by contractors employed by Tenant
under one or more construction contracts in form and substance approved in
advanced in writing by Landlord and Prime Landlord, in their respective
discretions. Prime Landlord and Landlord may withdraw consent to the
continuation of work on any of the Tenant Charges in the event any of Tenant's
general contractors, subcontractors, workers or suppliers cause, in the opinion
of Prime Landlord and/or Landlord, any disharmony or any interference in the
work of general contractors, subcontractors, workers or suppliers of Landlord,
Prime Landlord or any other tenant or subtenant in the Building. All Tenant
Charges must be completed in the manner required by the terms of the Prime
Lease, including, without limitation, the provisions of Section 4.5 thereof.
Tenant shall be responsible for all damage to the Premises or the
Building caused by Tenant or any of Tenant's general contractors,
subcontractors, workers or suppliers. Tenant agrees to indemnify, defend and
hold harmless the Landlord, Prime Landlord, and their respective employees,
agents, successors and assigns, from and against any and all damage, claim,
liability or loss, including reasonable attorneys' and other fees, arising out
of or in any way connected to the Tenant Charges and/or to any defect in design,
material or workmanship of any Tenant Charges.
15. Mechanic's Liens. Tenant shall promptly pay any contractors and materialmen
who supply labor, work or materials to Tenant at the Premises or the Building so
as to minimize the possibility of a lien attaching to the Premises or the
Building. Tenant shall take all steps permitted by law in order to avoid the
imposition of any mechanic's, laborer's or materialman's lien upon the Premises
or the Building. Should any such lien or notice of lien be filed for work
performed for Tenant other than by Landlord, Tenant shall cause such lien or
notice of lien to be discharged of record by payment, deposit, bond or otherwise
within fifteen (15) days after the filing thereof or after Tenant's receipt of
notice thereof, whichever is earlier, regardless of the validity of such lien or
claim. If Tenant shall fail to cause such lien or claim to be discharged and
removed from record within such fifteen (15) day period, then, without
obligation to investigate the validity thereof and in addition to any other
right or remedy Landlord may have, Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to,
contest the lien or claim or discharge it by payment, deposit, bond or
otherwise; and Landlord shall be entitled to compel the prosecution of an action
for the foreclosure of such lien by the lienor and to pay the amount of the
judgment in favor of the lienor with interest and costs. Any amounts so paid by
Landlord and all costs and expenses including, without limitation, attorneys'
fees incurred by Landlord in connection therewith, together with Interest from
the respective dates of Landlord's making such payment or incurring such cost or
expense, which shall constitute Additional Rent payable under this Lease
promptly upon demand therefor. Nothing in this Lease is intended to authorize
Tenant to do or cause any work or labor to be done or any materials to be
supplied for the account of Landlord, all of the same to be solely for Tenant's
account and at Tenant's risk and expense. Further, notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained in this Lease, nothing contained in or contemplated by
this Lease shall be deemed or construed in any way to constitute the consent or
request by 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 Building or any part of
-10-
any thereof, nor as giving Tenant any right, power or authority to contract 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 or the Building
or any part of any thereof. Throughout this Lease the term "mechanic's lien" is
used to include any lien, encumbrance or charge levied or imposed upon the
Premises or the Building or any interest therein or income therefrom on account
of any mechanic's, laborer's or materialman's lien or arising out of any debt or
liability to or any claim or demand of any contractor, mechanic, supplier,
materialman or laborer and shall include without limitation any mechanic's
notice of intention given to Landlord or Tenant, any stop order given to
Landlord or Tenant, any notice of refusal to pay naming Landlord or Tenant and
any injunctive or equitable action brought by any person entitled to any
mechanic's lien.
16. Landlord's Right of Entry.
a) Tenant shall permit Landlord and Prime Landlord and the authorized
representatives of each and of any mortgagee or any prospective mortgagee or any
prospective tenant or purchaser of the Building to enter the Premises at all
reasonable times, with one (1) Business Days' prior notice to Tenant, for the
purpose of (i) inspecting the Premises or (ii) making any 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 will attempt not
to inconvenience Tenant, but neither Landlord nor Prime Landlord 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.
b) Landlord and/or Prime Landlord shall have the right at all reasonable
times, with prior notice to Tenant, to enter and to exhibit the Premises for the
purpose of inspection or showing the Premises in connection with a sale or
mortgage and to enter upon and to exhibit the Premises to any prospective

Prime Landlord shall be permitted to show the Premises at any time and to
prepare the Premises for re-occupancy.

vacating the Premises at the end of the Term or earlier expiration of this Lease
to permit Landlord to meet its obligations under Section 4.8 of the Prime Lease
with respect to notice to Prime Landlord and arrangement of a joint inspection.
17. Damage by Fire or Other Casualty; Condemnation. This Lease shall be subject
to the operation of the terms and the rights of Prime Landlord and Landlord
under and pursuant to the Prime Lease in the event of damage or destruction to
the Building or the Premises by fire or other casualty or in the event of a
condemnation. In the event Prime Landlord or Landlord has the right to terminate
the Prime Lease pursuant thereto, and either elects to do so, this Lease shall
automatically terminate upon such termination of the Prime Lease.
-11-
18. Non-Abatement of Rent. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Prime
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 or the Prime Landlord under the Prime Lease.
19. 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, the Prime Lease and any and all mortgages now or
hereafter existing, to which this Lease shall be subordinate. Tenant
acknowledges the provisions of Section 2(b) hereof and agrees that in the event
of a termination of this Lease pursuant to a termination of the Prime Lease,
Tenant shall have no claim or cause of action against Landlord or Prime
Landlord.
20. Rules and Regulations. This Lease is subject to any rules and regulations
prescribed by the Prime Landlord, from time to time, at its sole discretion (the
"Rules and Regulations"). The 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.
21. Assignment and Subletting.
a) Tenant may not assign this Lease or sublet the whole or any portion of
the Premises without Landlord's and Prime Landlord's prior written consent,
which may be granted or withheld in their respective sole and exclusive
discretions. Tenant shall cooperate with Landlord and shall comply in all
respects with Section 4.16 of the Prime Lease, including, without limitation,
providing Landlord and Prime Landlord with the information, notices, processing
fees, payments of rent and documentation required by such Section.
b) Any transfer, assignment or hypothecation of any stock or interest in,
or the assets of, Tenant which is either: (i) greater than fifty percent (50%)
of such stock, interest or assets, or (ii) intended to avoid the provisions of
this Section 21, shall be subject to Section 21(a) hereof in all respects.
c) In the event Prime Landlord and Landlord shall consent to any proposed
assignment or sublet of the whole or any portion of the Premises, and Tenant
receives rent or other payments in connection with such assignment or sublet
which, either initially or over the term of such assignment or sublet, equals an
amount greater than the sum of Fixed Basic Rent and Additional Rent due annually
hereunder, Tenant shall pay to Landlord fifty percent (50%) of such excess.
22. Subordination. This Lease and Tenant's rights under this Lease shall be
subject and subordinate at all times in lien, operation and priority to the
Prime Lease, any mortgage or other encumbrance now or hereafter placed upon or
affecting the Building or the Premises and to all renewals, modifications,
consolidations and extensions thereof, without the necessity of any
-12-
further instrument or act on the part of Tenant. Tenant shall execute and
deliver upon demand any further instrument or instruments confirming the
subordination of this Lease to the Prime Lease and/or the lien of any mortgage,
if requested to do so by Landlord or Prime Landlord, and any further instrument
or instruments of attornment that may be desired by any such mortgagee, Prime
Landlord or Landlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any mortgagee may at any
time subordinate its mortgage to this Lease, without Tenant's consent, by giving
notice in writing to Tenant and thereupon this Lease shall be deemed prior to
such mortgage without regard to their respective dates of execution and
delivery. In that event such mortgagee shall have the same rights with respect
to this Lease as though this Lease had been executed prior to the execution and
delivery of the mortgage and had been assigned to such mortgagee.
23. 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 upon demand 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 ten (10) days of demand.
24. Surrender.
a) At the expiration of the Term or earlier termination of this Lease,
Tenant shall promptly yield up the Premises and all improvements, alterations
and additions thereto, and all fixtures and equipment servicing the Premises in
a condition which is clean of garbage and debris and broom clean and in the same
condition, order and repair in which they are required to be kept throughout the
Term, ordinary wear and tear excepted. So long as Tenant is not in default under
or pursuant to this Lease, Tenant shall be entitled to remove its furniture,
trade fixtures and moveable equipment from the Premises prior to the expiration
of the Term or the earlier termination of this Lease, subject to Tenant's repair
and restoration obligations pursuant to this Lease.
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, such
holding over by Tenant shall constitute an event of default under this Lease and
shall be subject to all the remedies set forth in this Lease.
25. Defaults and Remedies.
a) Defaults. It shall be a default or event of default under this Lease if
any one or more of the following events occurs:
(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.
-13-
(ii) Tenant violates or fails to perform or otherwise breaches any
agreement, term, covenant or condition contained in this Lease.
(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 or Guarantor 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 Guarantor, or a xxxx in equity or
other proceeding for the appointment of a receiver or similar official for any
of Tenant's or Guarantor's assets is commenced, or if any of the real or
personal property of Tenant or Guarantor shall be levied upon by any sheriff,
marshal or constable.
(v) Tenant causes or permits a default to occur, continue or exist
under the Prime Lease.
(vi) Any information furnished by or on behalf of Tenant to Landlord
in connection with this Lease is determined to have been materially false and/or
misleading when made.
(vii) There is a default under and/or breach of any condition,
agreement or obligation set forth in the Guaranty.
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 of five (5%) percent of
any amount owed to Landlord pursuant to this Lease which is not paid on or
before the due date which is set forth in the Lease or, if a due date is not
specified in this Lease, within twenty (20) days of the mailing of a xxxx
therefor by Landlord. 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 may accelerate the whole or any part of the Fixed Basic
Rent and all Additional Rent for the entire unexpired balance of the Term, as
well as all other charges, payments, costs and expenses herein agreed to be paid
by Tenant, and any Fixed Basic Rent or other charges, payments, costs and
expenses so accelerated shall, in addition to any and all installments of rent
already due and payable and in arrears and any other charge or payment herein
reserved, included or agreed to be treated or collected as rent and any other
charge, expense or cost herein agreed to be paid by Tenant which may be due and
payable and in arrears, be deemed due and payable as if, by the terms and
provisions of this Lease, such accelerated rent and other charges, payments,
costs and expenses were on that date payable in advance.
-14-
(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 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 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. Upon such
termination, Landlord shall be entitled to recover, in addition to any and all
sums and damages for violation of Tenant's obligations hereunder in existence at
the time of such termination, damages for Tenant's default in an amount equal to
the amount of the Fixed Basic Rent and Additional Rent reserved for the balance
of the Term, as well as all other charges, payments, costs and expenses herein
agreed to be paid by Tenant all of which amount shall be immediately due and
payable from Tenant to Landlord upon demand therefor.

d) Non-Waiver. No waiver by Landlord of any breach by Tenant of any of
Tenant's obligations, agreements or covenants herein shall be a waiver of any
subsequent breach or of any other obligation, agreement or covenant, nor shall
any forbearance by Landlord to seek a remedy for any event of default by Tenant
be a waiver by Landlord of any rights and remedies with respect to such or any
subsequent event of default.
e) Rights and Remedies Cumulative. No right or remedy herein conferred upon
or reserved to Landlord is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy
provided herein or by law, but each shall be cumulative and in addition to every

event of Tenant's default under this Lease.

including, without limitation, the following rights, each of which Landlord may
exercise without notice to Tenant and without
-19-
liability to Tenant for damage or injury to property, person or business on
account of the exercise thereof and the exercise of any such rights shall not be
deemed to constitute an eviction or disturbance of Tenant's use or possession of

Rent or any other claim:
a) To install, affix and maintain any and all signs on the exterior and on
the interior of the Building or the Premises;
b) To decorate or to make repairs, alterations, additions, or improvements,
