ARTICLE 2. PREMISES

Landlord, for and in consideration of the Rent (as defined below) to be paid and the covenants and agreements to be performed by Xxxxxx, as hereinafter set forth, does hereby lease, demise and let unto Tenant the Premises. Landlord reserves unto itself, however, the use of the roof, exterior walls and the area above and beneath the Premises, together with the right to install, maintain, use, repair and replace exterior windows and doors, pipes, ducts, conduits, wires and structural elements leading through the Premises in locations which shall not materially interfere with Tenant’s use thereof.

ARTICLE 3. TERM AND COMMENCEMENT

(a) Term and Confirmation. The term of this Lease shall commence on the Commencement Date and end on the Termination Date set forth in Article 1(d) and (f), unless sooner terminated as provided herein, subject to adjustment as provided below and the other provisions hereof. If the Commencement Date is advanced or postponed as provided below, the Termination Date set forth in Article 1 shall not be changed, unless Landlord so elects by notice to Tenant. Tenant shall execute a confirmation of the Commencement Date and other matters in such form as Landlord may reasonably request within ten (10) business days after requested; any failure to respond within such time shall be deemed an acceptance of the matters as set forth in Landlord’s confirmation. If Tenant disagrees with Xxxxxxxx’s adjustment of the Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay Rent and perform all other obligations commencing on the date determined by Landlord, subject to refund or credit when the matter is resolved.

(b) Early Commencement. The Commencement Date, the Rent and Xxxxxx’s other obligations shall be advanced to such earlier date as: (i) Landlord Substantially Completes (as defined below) the Landlord’s Work (as defined below) required under this Lease and Landlord delivers possession thereof to Tenant, or (ii) Tenant, with Landlord’s written permission,

- 5 -

otherwise commences occupying the Premises. If either such event occurs with respect to a portion of the Premises, the Commencement Date, Rent and Tenant’s other obligations shall be so advanced with respect to such portion (and fairly prorated based on the rentable square footage involved). During any period that Tenant shall be permitted to enter the Premises prior to the Commencement Date other than to occupy the same (e.g., to perform alterations or improvements), Tenant shall comply with all terms and provisions of this Lease, except those provisions requiring the payment of Rent (as defined below). Landlord shall permit early entry, so long as the Premises are legally available, Landlord has completed the Landlord’s Work, and Tenant is in compliance with the other provisions of this Lease, including the insurance requirements under Article 17.

(c) Commencement Delays. The Commencement Date, Rent and Xxxxxx’s other obligations shall be postponed to the extent Tenant is unable to occupy the Premises because Landlord fails: (i) to Substantially Complete the Landlord’s Work required to be performed by Landlord under this Lease, or (ii) to deliver possession of the Premises for any other reason, including holding over by prior occupants, except to the extent that Tenant, its contractors, agents or employees cause either such failures. If Landlord so fails for a ninety (90) day initial grace period (provided that such period shall be equitably extended for any delays caused by Tenant, its agents, contractors, or employees), Tenant shall, as its sole remedy, have the right to terminate this Lease by written notice within ten (10) days (—provided that upon any such termination, Landlord shall promptly refund to Tenant the Security Deposit). Any such delay in the Commencement Date shall not subject Landlord to liability for loss or damage resulting therefrom, and Xxxxxx’s sole recourse with respect thereto shall be the postponement of Rent or termination of the Lease as aforesaid.

ARTICLE 4. CONSTRUCTION OF PREMISES

(a) Landlord’s Work. Landlord agrees, at Xxxxxxxx’s sole cost and expense (except for the Upgraded Work (as hereinafter defined) or except as otherwise contemplated herein), to construct and furnish the work depicted on the floor plan attached hereto as Exhibit “B” using Building standard materials (collectively, the “Landlord’s Work”).

Tenant shall have the right to alter the plans for the work constituting Landlord’s Work from time to time prior to completion thereof, so long as (i) Landlord shall have consented to such requested changes, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, (ii) the cost to Landlord of performing Landlord’s Work, with such requested changes, shall not be increased, unless Tenant shall pay such excess costs directly to Landlord prior to commencement of construction of such altered Plans and (iii) if such requested changes would delay Substantial Completion of Landlord’s Work and the Commencement Date, Tenant shall commence to pay Rent and other charges due hereunder on and as of the date upon which Xxxxxxxx’s Work would have been Substantially Complete but for Xxxxxx’s requested changes.

(b) Completion of Landlord’s Work. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to Substantially Complete construction of Landlord’s Work on or before the Commencement

- 6 -

Date. Landlord and Xxxxxx acknowledge and agree, however, that this is a projected completion date and that, except as set forth in Section 3(c), Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant for any delays in commencing or completing such construction by such date.

(c) Substantial Completion. Landlord’s Work shall be deemed to be “Substantially Completed” or “Substantially Complete” or have achieved “Substantial Completion” (as the case may be) when (i) all such work has been completed except for minor punch list items which may be performed without material interference with Xxxxxx’s occupancy of the Premises for the Permitted Use and (ii) the required occupancy certificate (whether final, temporary or conditional) shall have been issued authorizing legal occupancy and use of the Premises. Landlord shall apply and pay for the occupancy certificate. Tenant hereby authorizes Landlord to complete and execute such application in Xxxxxx’s behalf.

(d) Installation of Wiring. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, during the progress of Landlord’s Work and prior to Substantial Completion, Tenant, its employees, agents, contractors and representatives may enter the Premises, at Tenant’s sole risk and subject to reasonable safety rules and regulations, for inspections, measurements, installation of computer wiring and hardware and telephone wiring and equipment and any other similar purposes, so long as such entries do not unreasonably delay or interfere with the performance of Landlord’s Work.

(e) Upgraded Work. Landlord and Xxxxxx hereby agree that the following additional work / materials shall be at Tenant’s sole cost and expense: the purchase and installation of those certain doors shown on Exhibit “G” attached hereto (collectively, the “Upgraded Work”).

Landlord agrees, at no cost to Landlord, and upon Xxxxxx’s request, to assign to Tenant any and all warranties and rights of Landlord under any proposals / contracts from the contractors performing the Upgraded Work and, to the extent necessary, reasonably cooperate with Tenant (at no cost to Landlord) in the enforcement of any warranties or remedies under the proposals / contracts for, the Upgraded Work.

ARTICLE 5. BASE RENT

(a) Base Rent. Tenant shall pay to Landlord Base Rent, payable in advance without demand on the first day of each calendar month throughout the Term; provided, that Tenant shall pay Base Rent for the first full calendar month for which Base Rent shall be due (and any initial partial month) when Tenant executes and delivers this Lease.

(b) Additional Rent. Whenever under the terms of this Lease any sum of money is required to be paid by Tenant in addition to the Base Rent herein reserved, and said additional amount so to be paid is not designated as “additional rent”, then said amount shall nevertheless, at the option of Landlord, be deemed “additional rent” and collectible as such, but nothing herein contained shall be deemed to suspend or delay the payment of any sum at the time the same becomes due and payable hereunder, or limit any other remedy of Landlord. Nonpayment of additional rent when due shall constitute a default under this Lease to the same extent, and shall entitle the Landlord to the same remedies, as nonpayment of Base Rent. Where no time limit for payment is otherwise stated in the specific Lease provision applicable thereto, any such obligation shall be due and payable within thirty (30) days following Xxxxxx’s receipt of a written statement showing in reasonable detail the basis for the amount claimed. Base Rent and additional rent are sometimes hereinafter referred to as “Rent”.

(c) Payments. All payments of Rent, except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, shall be paid when due without any deduction, recoupment, set-off, counterclaim, or defense at the principal office of the Landlord or at such other place as Landlord may from time to time direct. No delay by Landlord in providing a statement for Rent shall be deemed a default by Landlord or a waiver of Landlord’s right to require payment of Tenant’s obligations for any Rent due under the terms of this Lease.

ARTICLE 6. RENT ESCALATION

(a) Real Estate Tax Increases. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as additional rent, Xxxxxx’s Proportionate Share of the amount by which Real Estate Taxes incurred by Landlord during any calendar year following the Base Year for Real Estate Taxes shall exceed the Real Estate Taxes incurred by Landlord during such Base Year.

“Real Estate Taxes” shall be deemed to mean the aggregate amount of taxes and assessments levied, assessed or imposed upon the Development in which the Premises are

- 8 -

located. For purposes hereof, Real Estate Taxes shall include, without limitation, real estate taxes, sewer rents, water rents, assessments (special or otherwise), transit taxes, any tax or excise on rentals or any other tax (however described) on account of rental received for use and occupancy of all or any part of the Premises, whether such taxes are imposed by the United States of America, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, the county in which the Premises is located or any local governmental municipality, authority or agency, or any other political subdivision of any of the foregoing. Real Estate Taxes shall also include all actual, reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including, without limitation, legal fees and court costs) incurred by Landlord in connection with the protest or the reduction of any of the aforesaid taxes and or assessments, up to an amount equal to the reduction of any of the aforesaid taxes resulting from such protest. If at any time during the term hereof, a tax or excise on rents or any other tax, however described, is levied or assessed by any governmental authority on account of the rents hereunder or the interest of Landlord or Landlord’s beneficiaries under this Lease, then such additional tax shall be included in Real Estate Taxes. Further, any tax assessed or levied by any governmental authority in lieu of the foregoing Real Estate Taxes shall also be included. For the purpose of determining Real Estate Taxes for any given calendar year, the amount to be paid for such calendar year Shall be (a) with respect to assessments, the amount of the installments (and any interest) due and payable during such calendar year and (b) with respect to all other Real Estate Taxes, the amount due and payable during such calendar year, without regard to the period for which such Real Estate Taxes are payable. Real Estate Taxes shall not include any capital stock, succession, transfer, franchise, gift, estate or inheritance tax, or any penalties, interest or fines incurred by Landlord due to nonpayment or late payment of taxes.

(b) Operating Cost Increases. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as additional rent, Xxxxxx’s Proportionate Share of the amount by which Operating Costs incurred by Landlord during any calendar year following the Base Year for Operating Costs shall exceed the Operating Costs incurred by Landlord during such Base Year.

- 9 -

federal income tax purposes), including by way of illustration and not limitation: personal property taxes and any tax in addition to or in lieu thereof, whether assessed against Landlord or Tenant or collected by Landlord, Tenant or both; utilities; supplies; materials; tools; insurance (including, but not limited to, commercial general liability, casualty, business interruption, rent loss insurance, flood insurance and earthquake insurance); licenses, permits and inspection fees; cost of services of independent contractors (including property management fees); any tax, assessment, cost or fee incurred by Landlord in connection with the Development from any neighborhood improvement district or similar program or initiative; cost of compensation (including employment taxes and fringe benefits) of all persons who perform regular and recurring duties connected with day-to-day operation, maintenance and repair of the Development, its equipment and the component interior and exterior common areas, ceilings, floors, walks, stairs, stairwells, elevators, loading docks, trash compactor, malls and landscaped areas including janitorial, gardening, security, parking, operating engineer, painting, plumbing, electrical, carpentry, heating, ventilation, air conditioning, window washing, signage and advertising; and rental expense or a reasonable allowance for depreciation of personal property used in such maintenance, operation and repair of the Development.

The foregoing provision is for definitional purposes only and shall not be construed to impose any obligation upon Landlord to incur such expenses. No item of Operating Cost shall be included more than once in any given time period and no item of expense charged to Tenant as an Operating Cost shall be charged to Tenant as Real Estate Taxes or any other type of chargeable expense or cost. The property management fees incurred by Landlord shall only be chargeable to Tenant to the extent such property management fees do not exceed the property management fees incurred by other buildings of similar size and quality and located within the geographic area in which the Development is located.

(c) Method of Payment. Within sixty (60) days after the end of each calendar year, Landlord shall furnish Tenant a written statement showing in reasonable detail Landlord’s Real Estate Taxes and Operating Costs for the Base Year and the preceding calendar year and showing Xxxxxx’s Proportionate Share of the amount of any increase in such Real Estate Taxes and/or Operating Costs over the amount thereof for the respective Base Year. Coincidentally with the monthly rent payment due following Tenant’s receipt of such statement, Tenant shall pay to Landlord an amount equal to the sum of (1) Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the increase in Real Estate Taxes and Operating Costs for the preceding calendar year over the amount thereof for the applicable Base Year less the amounts Tenant paid as an estimate of Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the amount of any increase in such Real Estate Taxes and/or Operating Costs, if any; and (2) one-twelfth (1/12th) of such increases for the current calendar year multiplied by the number of rent payments (including the current one) then elapsed in such

- 10 -

calendar year. Thereafter such one-twelfth (1/12th) amount shall be paid monthly with the Base Rent until subsequently adjusted in accordance with the terms of this Article. In the event that the amount Tenant paid as an estimate of Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the amount of any increase in such Real Estate Taxes and/or Operating Costs over the amount thereof for the respective Base Year is more than the actual amount of any increase in such Real Estate Taxes and/or Operating Costs over the amount thereof for the respective Base Year, Landlord shall refund the difference within thirty (30) days after such determination is made.

(d) Tenant’s Proportionate Share. “Tenant’s Proportionate Share” of Taxes and Operating Costs shall be the percentages set forth in Article 1, but if the rentable area of the Premises or Building shall change, Tenant’s Proportionate Share shall thereupon become the rentable area of the Premises divided by the rentable area of the Building, subject at all times to adjustment as provided in this Article. Tenant acknowledges that the “rentable area of the Premises” under this Lease includes the usable area, without deduction for columns or projections, multiplied by a load or conversion factor, to reflect a share of certain areas, which may include lobbies, corridors, mechanical, utility, janitorial, boiler and service rooms and closets, restrooms, and other public, common and service areas. Except as provided expressly to the contrary herein, the “rentable area of the Building” shall include all rentable area of all space leased or available for lease at the Building which Landlord may reasonably re-determine from time to time, to reflect re-configurations, additions or modifications to the Building.

(e) Tax Refunds, Protest Costs, and Expense Adjustments For Prior Years. Landlord shall each year: (i) credit against Real Estate Taxes any refunds received during such year, (ii) include in Real Estate Taxes any additional amount paid during such year, involving an adjustment to-Real Estate Taxes for a prior year, due to error by the taxing authority, supplemental assessment, or other reason, (iii) include, in either Real Estate Taxes or Operating Costs, any reasonable fees for attorneys, consultants and experts, and other costs paid during such year in attempting to protest, appeal or otherwise seek to reduce or minimize Real Estate Taxes, by the terms of this Article, (iv) credit against Operating Costs the cost of any item previously included in Operating Costs, to the extent that Xxxxxxxx receives reimbursement from insurance proceeds or a third party during such year (excluding tenant payments for Real Estate Taxes and Operating Costs), and (v) make any other appropriate changes to reflect adjustments to Real Estate Taxes or Operating Costs for prior years.

(f) Payments After Lease Term Ends. Tenant’s obligations to pay, in accordance with this Article 6, Real Estate Taxes and Operating Costs (or any other amounts) accruing during, or relating to, the period prior to expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, shall survive such expiration or termination. Landlord may reasonably estimate all or any of such obligations within a reasonable time before, or anytime after, such expiration or termination. Tenant shall pay the full amount of such reasonable estimate and any additional amount due after the actual amounts are determined, in each case within thirty (30) days after Xxxxxxxx sends a statement therefore. If the actual amount is less than the amount Tenant pays as an estimate, Landlord shall refund the difference within thirty (30) days after such determination is made.

At any time after terminating Xxxxxx’s right to possession as provided herein, Landlord may terminate this Lease as provided in clause (1) above by notice to Tenant, and Landlord may pursue such other remedies as may be available to Landlord under this Lease or applicable law.

(b) Reletting. If this Lease or Tenant’s right to possession is terminated, or Tenant abandons the Premises, Landlord may: (i) enter and secure the Premises, change the locks, install barricades, remove any improvements, fixtures or other property of Tenant therein, perform any decorating, remodeling, repairs, alterations, improvements or additions and take such other actions as Landlord shall determine in Landlord’s sole discretion to prevent damage or deterioration to the Premises or prepare the same for reletting, and (ii) relet all or any portion of the Premises (separately or as part of a larger space), for any rent, use or period of time (which may extend beyond the term hereof), and upon any other terms as Landlord shall determine in Landlord’s sole discretion, directly or as Tenant’s agent. The consideration received from such reletting shall be applied pursuant to the terms of Paragraph (g) hereof, and if such consideration, as so applied, is not sufficient to cover all Rent and damages to which Landlord may be entitled hereunder, Tenant shall pay any deficiency to Landlord as the same accrues or after the same has accrued from time to time upon demand, subject to the other provisions hereof.

(c) Specific Performance. Landlord shall at all times have the right without prior demand or notice except as required by applicable law to: (i) seek any declaratory, injunctive or other equitable relief, and specifically enforce this Lease or restrain or enjoin a violation of any provision hereof, and Tenant hereby waives any right to require that Landlord post a bond or other security in connection therewith, and (ii) sue for and collect any unpaid Rent which has accrued.

- 25 -

(d) Returned Checks. If Landlord receives two (2) or more checks from Tenant which are returned by Tenant’s bank for insufficient funds, Landlord may require that all checks thereafter be bank certified or cashier’s checks (without limiting Landlord’s other remedies). All bank service charges resulting from any returned checks shall be borne by Tenant.

(e) Landlord’s Cure of Tenant Defaults. If Tenant fails to perform any obligation under this Lease for five (5) days after notice thereof by Landlord (except that no notice shall be required in emergencies), Landlord shall have the right (but not the duty), to perform such obligation on behalf and for the account of Tenant. In such event, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord upon demand, as additional rent, for all reasonable expenses incurred by Landlord in performing such obligation together with an amount equal to ten (10%) percent thereof for Landlord’s overhead, and interest thereon at the Lease Interest Rate from the date such expenses were incurred. Xxxxxxxx’s performance of Xxxxxx’s obligations hereunder shall not be deemed a waiver or release of Tenant therefrom.

(f) CONFESSION OF JUDGMENT.

(1) UPON THE OCCURRENCE OF EACH AND EVERY EVENT OF DEFAULT HEREUNDER, TENANT DOES HEREBY EMPOWER ANY ATTORNEY OF ANY COURT OF RECORD WITHIN THE UNITED STATES TO APPEAR FOR TENANT AND FOR ANY TRANSFEREE OR OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY CLAIMING UNDER, BY OR THROUGH TENANT, AND WITH OR WITHOUT DECLARATION FILED, CONFESS JUDGMENT FORTHWITH AGAINST TENANT AND SUCH TRANSFEREE OR OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY AND IN FAVOR OF LANDLORD, IN AN AMICABLE ACTION OF EJECTMENT FOR THE PREMISES, TOGETHER WITH HEREDITAMENTS AND APPURTENANCES AND ALL FIXTURES AND EQUIPMENT INSTALLED THEREIN, AND FORTHWITH ISSUE A WRIT OR WRITS OF POSSESSION THEREON. THE ENTRY OF JUDGMENT UNDER THE FOREGOING WARRANT SHALL NOT EXHAUST THE WARRANT, BUT SUCCESSIVE JUDGMENTS MAY BE ENTERED THEREUNDER FROM TIME TO TIME AS OFTEN AS DEFAULTS OCCUR.

(2) TENANT ACKNOWLEDGES THAT TENANT UNDERSTANDS THE MEANING AND EFFECT OF THE FOREGOING CONFESSION OF JUDGMENT AUTHORIZED HEREIN; THAT THIS LEASE IS A COMMERCIAL TRANSACTION INVOLVING SOPHISTICATED BUSINESS ENTITIES AND DOES NOT INVOLVE A CONSUMER CREDIT TRANSACTION OR A RESIDENTIAL LEASE; AND THAT TENANT KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ANY RIGHTS TO A HEARING OR TRIAL IN COURT WHICH OTHERWISE WOULD BE REQUIRED BY LAW AS A PRIOR CONDITION TO LANDLORD’S OBTAINING A JUDGMENT IN EJECTMENT FOR POSSESSION OF THE PREMISES.

- 26 -

(3) The Tenant acknowledges and represents that he has consulted (or had an opportunity to consult) with independent legal counsel and with such other advisors as he deemed necessary in connection with this Lease, including the provisions granting Landlord the power to confess judgment against the Tenant. The Tenant understands that this Lease contains confession of judgment provisions that would allow Landlord to enter a judgment against the Tenant in court, without advance notice to the Tenant and without offering the Tenant an opportunity to defend against the entry of such judgment. The Tenant knowingly, intelligently, and voluntarily waived his rights to advance notice and to a hearing to contest the validity of any judgment or other claims that Landlord may assert against the Tenant, including any right to advance notice of the entry of judgment, and the Tenant expressly agrees and consents to Landlord entering judgment against the Tenant signed by confession as provided for herein. THE TENANT FURTHER UNDERSTANDS THAT IN ADDITION TO GIVING LANDLORD THE RIGHT TO ENTER JUDGMENT AGAINST THE TENANT WITHOUT ADVANCE NOTICE OR A HEARING, THE CONFESSION OF JUDGMENT PROVISIONS IN THIS LEASE ALSO CONTAINS LANGUAGE THAT WOULD PERMIT LANDLORD, AFTER ENTRY OF JUDGMENT, TO EXECUTE ON THE JUDGMENT BY FORECLOSING UPON, ATTACHING, LEVYING ON, TAKING POSSESSION OF OR OTHERWISE SEIZING THE TENANT’S PROPERTY, IN FULL OR PARTIAL PAYMENT OF THE JUDGMENT, HOWEVER, LANDLORD MUST PROVIDE NOTICE TO THE TENANT UNDER APPLICABLE LAW IN EXECUTING ANY CONFESSED JUDGMENT.

Initials

(g) Other Matters. No re-entry or repossession, repairs, changes, alterations and additions, reletting, or any other action or omission by Landlord shall be construed as an election by Landlord to terminate this Lease or Tenant’s right to possession, nor shall the same operate to release Tenant in whole or in part from any of Tenant’s obligations hereunder, unless express notice of such intention is sent by Landlord to Tenant. Landlord may bring suits for amounts owed by Tenant hereunder or any portions thereof, as the same accrue or after the same have accrued, and no suit or recovery of any portion due hereunder shall be deemed a waiver of Landlord’s right to collect all amounts to which Xxxxxxxx is entitled hereunder, nor shall the same serve as any defense to any subsequent suit brought for any amount not therefor reduced to judgment. Landlord may pursue one or more remedies against Xxxxxx and need not make an election of remedies except as required by applicable law. All rent and other consideration paid by any replacement tenants shall be applied at Landlord’s option: (i) first, to the Costs of Reletting, (ii) second, to the payment of all costs of enforcing this Lease against Tenant or any guarantor, (iii) third, to the payment of all interest and service charges accruing hereunder, (iv) fourth, to the payment of Rent theretofore accrued, and (v) with the residue, if any, to be held by Landlord and applied to the payment of Rent and other obligations of Tenant as the same become due (and with any remaining residue to be retained by Landlord). “Costs of Reletting” shall include without limitation, all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord for any repairs or other matters described in Paragraph (b) above, brokerage commissions, advertising costs, attorneys’ fees, any economic incentives given to enter leases with replacement tenants, and costs of collecting rent from replacement tenants. Landlord shall be under no obligation to observe or

- 27 -

perform any provision of this Lease on its part to be observed or performed which accrues while Tenant is in default hereunder beyond any applicable cure and grace period. The times set forth herein for the curing of defaults by Tenant are of the essence of this Lease.

(h) Mitigation. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate Landlord’s damages due to a default by Tenant under this Lease; provided, however, that in no event shall Landlord .be responsible or liable for any failure to relet the Premises or any part thereof, or for any failure to collect any rent due upon a reletting; it being expressly understood and agreed that “commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate Landlord’s damages” shall be satisfied solely by the listing of the Premises for rent with a commercial real estate broker (which may be affiliated with Landlord) and showing the Premises to .prospective tenants in the ordinary course. Landlord and Tenant agree that Landlord shall not be required to. give any preference or priority to the showing or leasing of the Premises· or portions thereof over any other space that Landlord may be leasing or have available and may place a suitable prospective tenant in any such other space regardless of when such other space becomes available and that Landlord shall have the right to relet the Premises for a greater or lesser term than that remaining under this Lease, the right to relet only a portion of the Premises, or a portion of the Premises or the entire Premises as a part of a larger area, and the right to change the character or use of the Premises.

ARTICLE 26. LANDLORD’S DEFAULT; RIGHT TO CURE

If Landlord shall fail to perform any obligation under this Lease required to be performed by Landlord, Landlord shall not be deemed to be in default hereunder nor subject to any claims for damages of any kind, unless such failure shall have continued for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice thereof by Xxxxxx (provided, if the nature of Landlord’s failure is such that more time is reasonably required in order to cure, Landlord shall not be in default if Landlord commences to cure within such period and thereafter diligently seeks to cure such failure to completion).

ARTICLE 27. WAIVER

The failure or delay on the part of Landlord or Tenant to enforce or exercise at any time any of the provisions, rights or remedies in the Lease shall in no way be construed to be a waiver thereof, nor in any way to affect the validity of this Lease or any part hereof, or the right of the Landlord or Tenant to thereafter enforce each and every such provision, right or remedy. No waiver of any breach of this Lease shall be held to be a waiver of any other or subsequent breach. The receipt by Landlord of Rent at a time when the rent is in default under this Lease shall not be construed as a waiver of such default. The receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount than the Rent due shall not be construed to be other than a payment on account of the Rent then due, nor shall any statement on Tenant’s check or any letter accompanying Xxxxxx’s check be deemed an accord and satisfaction and Landlord may accept such payment without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the balance of the rent due or to pursue any other remedies provided in this Lease. No act or thing done by Landlord or Landlord’s agents or employees during the term of this Lease shall be deemed an acceptance of a surrender of the Premises, and no agreement to accept such a surrender shall be valid unless in writing and signed by Xxxxxxxx.

- 28 -

ARTICLE 28. UTILITY DEREGULATION

Landlord has advised Tenant that various utility companies (each to be referred to herein as a “Current Service Provider”) are the utility companies selected by Landlord to provide service for the Development. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if permitted by law, Landlord shall have the right at any time and from time to time during the term of this Lease to either contract for service from a different company or companies providing service (each such company shall hereinafter be referred to as an “Alternate Service Provider”) or continue to contract for service from the Current Service Provider.

Tenant shall cooperate with Landlord, the Current Service Providers, and any Alternate Service Provider at all times and, as reasonably necessary, and shall allow Landlord, the Current Service Providers, and any Alternate Service Provider reasonable access to the Building’s lines, feeders, risers, wiring, and other machinery within the Premises, provided such access shall not unreasonably interfere with Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Premises for its business purposes.

Landlord shall in no way be liable or responsible for any loss, damage, or expense that Tenant may sustain or incur by reason of any failure, interference, disruption, or defect in the supply of utility services furnished to the Premises by the Current Service Providers or any Alternate Service Provider, or of any change in the quality or character of the utility services supplied by the Current Service Providers or any Alternate Service Provider.

ARTICLE 29. TELECOMMUNICATIONS

(a) Telecommunication Lines. Subject to Landlord’s continuing right of supervision and approval, and the other provisions hereof, Tenant may: (i) install telecommunication lines (“Lines”) connecting the Premises to Landlord’s terminal block on the floor or floors on which the Premises are located, or (ii) use such Lines as may currently exist and already connect the Premises to such terminal block. Landlord’s predecessor or independent contractor has heretofore connected such terminal block through riser system Lines to Landlord’s main distribution frame (“MDF”) for the Building. Landlord disclaims any representations, warranties or understandings concerning the capacity, design or suitability of Landlord’s riser Lines, MDF or related equipment. If there is, or will be, more than one tenant on any floor, at any time, Landlord may allocate, and periodically reallocate, connections to the terminal block based on the proportion of square feet each tenant occupies on such floor, or the type of business operations or requirements of such tenants, in Landlord’s reasonable discretion. Landlord may arrange for an independent contractor to review Xxxxxx’s requests for approval hereunder, monitor or supervise Tenant’s installation, connection and disconnection of Lines, and provide other such services, or Landlord may provide the same. In each case, Tenant shall pay Landlord’s reasonable fees and costs therefor including the fees of any telecommunications consultant or contractor retained by Landlord.

- 29 -

(b) Installation. Tenant may install and use Tenant’s Lines and make connections and disconnections at the terminal blocks as described above, provided Tenant shall: (i) obtain Landlord’s prior written approval (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, of all aspects thereof), (ii) use an experienced and qualified contractor approved in writing in advance by Landlord, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed (whom Landlord may require to enter into an access and indemnity agreement on Landlord’s then standard form of agreement therefor), (iii) comply with Building standards as Landlord may adopt from time to time, and all other provisions of this Lease, including Articles 10 and 11 respecting Alterations and Mechanics Liens, (iv) not install Lines in the same sleeve, chaseway or other enclosure in close proximity with electrical wire, and not install PVC-coated Lines under any circumstances, (v) thoroughly test any riser Lines to which Tenant intends to connect any Lines to ensure that such riser Lines are available and are not then connected to or used for telephone, data transmission or any other purpose by any other party (whether or not Landlord has previously approved such connections), and not connect to any such unavailable or connected riser Lines, and (vi) not connect any equipment to the Lines which may create an electromagnetic field exceeding the normal insulation ratings of ordinary twisted pair riser cable or cause radiation higher than normal background radiation, unless the Lines therefor (including riser Lines} are appropriately insulated to prevent such excessive electromagnetic fields or radiation (and such insulation shall not be provided by the use of additional unused twisted pair Lines). As a condition to permitting installation of new Lines, Landlord may require that Tenant remove any existing Lines located in or serving the Premises.

(c) Limitation of Liability. Unless due to Landlord’s willful misconduct or negligent acts, Landlord shall have no liability for damages arising, and Landlord does not warrant that the Tenant’s use of the Lines will be free, from the following (collectively called “Line Problems”): (i) any eavesdropping, wire-tapping or theft of long distance access codes by unauthorized parties, (ii) any failure of the Lines to satisfy Tenant’s requirements, or (iii) any capacitance, attenuation, cross-talk or other problems with the Lines, any misdesignation of the Lines in the MDF room or wire closets, or any shortages, failures, variations, interruptions, disconnections, loss or damage caused by or in connection with the installation, maintenance, replacement, use or removal of any other Lines or equipment at the Development by or for other tenants at the Development, by any failure of the environmental conditions at or the power supply for the Development to conform to any requirements of the Lines or any other problems associated with

- 30 -

any Lines or by any other cause. Under no circumstances shall any Line Problems be deemed an actual or constructive eviction of Tenant, render Landlord liable to Tenant for abatement of any rent or other charges under the Lease, or relieve Tenant from performance of Tenant’s obligations under the Lease. Landlord in no event shall be liable for damages by reason of loss of profits, business interruption or other consequential damage arising from any Line Problems.

ARTICLE 30. SURRENDER

The Lease shall terminate and Tenant shall deliver up and surrender possession of the Premises on the last day of the term hereof, and Tenant waives the right to any notice of termination or notice to quit and Tenant hereby waives all right to any such notice as may be provided under any laws now or hereafter in effect in Pennsylvania, including but not limited to the Landlord and Tenant Act of 1951, as amended. Tenant covenants that upon the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease Tenant shall deliver up and surrender possession of the Premises in the same condition in which Xxxxxx has agreed to keep the same during the continuance of this Lease and in accordance with the terms hereof, ordinary wear and tear, damage by casualty and condemnation, and damage for which Tenant is not obligated to make repairs under this Lease excepted.

ARTICLE 31. QUIET ENJOYMENT.

Tenant, upon paying the Rent 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, matters of public record and any mortgage to which this Lease shall be subordinate.

ARTICLE 32. HOLDING OVER

Unless Landlord expressly agrees otherwise in writing, Tenant shall pay Landlord 150% of the amount of Rent then applicable prorated on a per diem basis for each day Tenant shall fail to vacate or surrender possession of the Premises or any part thereof after expiration or earlier termination of this Lease as required under Article 30, together with all damages (direct and consequential) sustained by Landlord on account thereof. Tenant shall pay such amounts on demand, and, in the absence of demand, monthly in advance. The foregoing provisions, and Xxxxxxxx’s acceptance of any such amounts, shall not serve as permission for Tenant to hold-over, nor serve to extend the term (although Tenant shall remain a tenant at sufferance bound to comply with all provisions of this Lease until Tenant properly vacates the Premises). Landlord shall have the right at any time after expiration or earlier termination of this Lease or Tenant’s right to possession to reenter and possess the Premises and remove all property and persons therefrom, and Landlord shall have such other remedies for holdover as may be available to Landlord under other provisions of this Lease or applicable law.

- 31 -

ARTICLE 33. ENVIRONMENTAL COVENANTS, REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

(a) Tenant shall (1) comply with all laws, regulations, ordinances and other governmental standards applicable to Tenant’s use of the Premises with respect to hazardous waste, hazardous substances and any and all other environmental matters, and (2) not use, store or otherwise handle any type of hazardous waste or hazardous substances without the prior written consent of Landlord (provided, however, that Landlord consents to the Tenant’s of use the hazardous substances scheduled on Exhibit “H”, subject to terms and conditions of this Lease).

LEASE SUBORDINATION, NON-DISTURBANCE

OF POSSESSION AND ATTORNMENT AGREEMENT

This Lease Subordination, Non-Disturbance of Possession and Attornment Agreement (the “Lease Subordination, Non-Disturbance of Possession and Attornment Agreement” or “Agreement”) is made as of the      day of             , 2019, among                      (the “Lender”),                     , RJ Equities LP (the “Landlord” or “Borrower”), a Pennsylvania limited partnership having a place of business at 0000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxxxxxx, XX 00000, and                      (the “Tenant”), having a place of business at                     .

Introductory Provisions

X. Xxxxxx is relying on this Agreement as an inducement to Lender in making and maintaining a loan (the “Loan”) secured by, among other things, a Mortgage and Security Agreement dated as of                      (the ‘‘Mortgage”) given by Borrower covering property commonly known as and numbered                      (the “Property”). Xxxxxx is also the “Assignee” under an Assignment of Leases, Rents and Profits (the “Assignment”) dated as of                      from Borrower with respect to the Property.

B. Tenant is the tenant under that certain lease (the “Lease”) dated             , 20    , made with Landlord covering certain premises (the “Premises”) at the Property as more particularly described in the Lease.

X. Xxxxxx requires, as a condition to the making and maintaining of the Loan, that the Mortgage be and remain superior to the Lease and that its rights under the Assignment be recognized.

X. Xxxxxx requires as a condition to the Lease being subordinate to the Mortgage that its rights under the Lease be recognized.

X. Xxxxxx, Landlord, and Tenant desire to confirm their understanding with respect to the Mortgage and the Lease.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, the mutual covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement, and other valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, and with the understanding by Tenant that Lender shall rely hereon in making and maintaining the Loan, Lender, Landlord, and Tenant agree as follows:

1. Subordination. The Lease and the rights of Tenant thereunder (including purchase options, rights of first refusal or similar rights, if any) are subordinate and inferior to the Mortgage and any amendment, renewal, substitution, extension or replacement thereof

Ex. F-47

and each advance made thereunder as though the Mortgage, and each such amendment, renewal, substitution, extension or replacement were executed and recorded, and the advance made, before the execution of the Lease.

2. Non-Disturbance. So long as Tenant is not in default (beyond any period expressed in the Lease within which Tenant may cure such default) in the payment of rent or in the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of the Lease on Tenant’s part to be performed or observed: (a) Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises shall not be disturbed by Lender in the exercise of any of its rights under the Mortgage during the term of the Lease, or any extensions or renewals thereof made in accordance with the terms of the Lease, and (b) Lender will not join Tenant as a party defendant in any action or proceeding for the purpose of terminating Tenant’s interest and estate under the Lease because of any default under the Mortgage.

3. Attornment and Certificates. In the event Lender succeeds to the interest of Borrower as Landlord under the Lease, or if the Property or the Premises are sold pursuant to the power of sale under the Mortgage, Tenant shall attorn to Lender, or a purchaser upon any such foreclosure sale, and shall recognize Lender, or such purchaser, thereafter as the Landlord under the Lease; in such event, Lender or such other purchaser shall be bound under all of the provisions of the Lease (except as otherwise provided in this Agreement) and assume the obligations of landlord under the Lease accruing thereafter. Such attornment shall be effective and self-operative without the execution of any further instrument. Xxxxxx agrees, however, to execute and deliver at any time and from time to time, upon the request of any holder(s) of any of the indebtedness or other obligations secured by the Mortgage, or upon request of any such purchaser, (a) any instrument or certificate which, in the reasonable judgment of such holder(s), or such purchaser, may be necessary or appropriate in any such foreclosure proceeding or otherwise to evidence such attornment and (b) an instrument or certificate regarding the status of the Lease, consisting of statements, if true (and if not true, specifying in what respect): (i) that the Lease is in full force and effect, (ii) the date through which rentals have been paid, (iii) the duration and date of the commencement of the term of the Lease, (iv) the nature of any amendments or modifications to the Lease, (v) that no default, or state of facts, which with the passage of time or notice, or both, would constitute a default, exists on the part of either party to the Lease, and (vi) the dates on which payments of additional rent, if any, are due under the Lease.

4. Limitations. If Lender exercises any of its rights under the Assignment or the Mortgage, or if Lender shall succeed to the interest of Landlord under the Lease in any manner, or if any purchaser acquires the Property, or the Premises, upon or after any foreclosure of the Mortgage, or any deed in lieu thereof, Lender or such purchaser, as the case may be, shall have the same remedies by entry, action or otherwise in the event of any default by Tenant (beyond any period expressed in the Lease within which Tenant may cure such default) in the payment of rent or in the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease on Tenant’s part to be paid, performed or observed that Landlord had or would have had if Lender or such purchaser had not succeeded to the interest of the present Landlord. From and after any such attornment, Lender or such

Ex. F-48

purchaser shall be bound to Tenant under all the terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease, and Tenant shall, from and after such attornment to Lender, or to such purchaser, have the same remedies against Lender, or such purchaser, for the breach of an agreement contained in the Lease that Tenant might have had under the Lease against Landlord, if Lender or such purchaser had not succeeded to the interest of Landlord. Provided, however, that Lender or such purchaser shall only be bound during the period of its ownership, and that in the case of the exercise by Lender of its rights under the Mortgage, or the Assignment, or any combination thereof, or a foreclosure, or deed in lieu of foreclosure, all Tenant claims shall be satisfied only out of the interest, if any, of Lender, or such purchaser, in the Property (including the rents, profits and proceeds thereof), and Lender and such purchaser shall not be: (a) liable for any act or omission of any prior landlord (including Landlord), except to the extent continuing in nature and that landlord was provided notice of such act or omission and was afforded the reasonable opportunity to cure; or (b) liable for or incur any obligation with respect to the construction of the Property or any improvements of the Premises or the Property; or (c) subject to any offsets or defenses which Tenant might have against any prior landlord (including Landlord), or (d) bound by any rent or additional rent which Tenant might have paid for more than the then current rental period to any prior landlord (including Landlord), except to the extent such advance payment is expressly required by the Lease or such monies are actually received by Lender or purchaser (as applicable); or (e) bound by any amendment or modification of the Lease, or any consent to any assignment or sublease, made without Xxxxxx’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); or (f) bound by or responsible for any security deposit not actually received by Lender; or (g) liable for any obligation with respect to any breach of Warranties or representations of any nature under the Lease or otherwise, including without limitation, any warranties or representations respecting use, compliance with zoning, Landlord’s title, Landlord’s authority, habitability and/or fitness for any purpose, or possession; or (h) liable for consequential damages.

5. Rights Reserved. Nothing herein contained is intended, nor shall it be construed, to abridge or adversely affect any right or remedy of: (a) Landlord under the Lease, or any subsequent Landlord, against Tenant in the event of any default by Tenant (beyond any period expressed in the Lease within which Tenant may cure such default) in the payment of rent or in the performance of observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of the Lease on Tenant’s part to be performed or observed; or (b) Tenant to pursue claims under the Lease against any prior landlord (including Landlord) in the event of any default by prior landlord whether or not such claim is barred against Lender or a subsequent purchaser.

6. Notice and Right to Cure. Tenant agrees to provide Lender with a copy of each written notice of default given to Landlord under the Lease at the same time such notice of default is given to Landlord. In the event of any default by Landlord under the Lease, Tenant will take no action to terminate the Lease: (a) if the default is not curable by Lender (so long as the default does not interfere with Xxxxxx’s use and occupancy of the Premises), or (b) if the default is curable by Lender, unless the default remains uncured for a period of sixty (60) days after written notice thereof shall have been given, postage

Ex. F-49

prepaid, to Landlord at Landlord’s address, and to Lender at the address provided in Section 7 below; provided, however, that if any such default is such that it reasonably cannot be cured within such sixty (60) day period, such period shall be extended for such additional period of time as shall be reasonably necessary (including, without limitation, a reasonable period of time to obtain possession of the Property and to foreclose the Mortgage), if Lender gives Tenant written notice within such sixty (60) day period of Xxxxxx’s election to undertake the cure of the default and if curative action (including, without limitation, action to obtain possession and foreclosure) is instituted within a reasonable period of time and is thereafter diligently pursued. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender shall have no obligation to cure any default under the Lease.

7. Notices. Any notice or communication required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing, and shall be given or delivered: (a) by United States mail, registered or certified, postage fully prepaid, return receipt requested, or (b) by recognized courier service or recognized overnight delivery service; and in any event addressed to the party for which it is intended at its address set forth below:

To Lender:

		0000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 000
		Pittsburgh, PA 15203
		Attention: Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxxx
To Tenant:		Carmell Therapeutics
		0000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 000 Xxxxxxxxxx, XX 00000 Attn: Xxxxx Xxxxxxx

or such other address as such party may have previously specified by notice given or delivered in accordance with the foregoing. Any such notice shall be deemed to have been given and received on the date delivered or tendered for delivery during normal business hours as herein provided.

8. No Oral Change. This Agreement may not be modified orally or in any manner other than by an agreement in writing signed by the parties hereto or their respective successors in interest.

9. Payment of Rent To Lender. Tenant acknowledges that it has notice that the Lease and the rent and all sums due thereunder have been assigned to Lender as part of the security for the obligations secured by the Mortgage. In the event Xxxxxx notifies Tenant of a default under the Loan and demands that Tenant pay its rent and all other sums due under the Lease to Lender, Xxxxxx agrees that it will honor such demand and pay its rent and all other sums due under the Lease to Lender, or Xxxxxx’s designated agent, until otherwise

Ex. F-50

notified in writing by Xxxxxx. Landlord unconditionally authorizes and directs Tenant to make rent payments directly to Lender following receipt of such notice without any obligation to further inquire as to whether or not any default exists under the Mortgage or the Assignment and that Landlord shall have no right or claim against Tenant for or by reason of any payments of rent or other charges made by Tenant .to Lender following receipt of such notice. Tenant shall be entitled to full credit under the Lease for any rent paid to Lender in compliance with the foregoing to the same extent as if such rent were paid directly to landlord under the Lease.

10. No Amendment or Cancellation of Lease. So long as the Mortgage remains undischarged of record, Tenant shall not amend, modify, cancel or terminate the Lease, or consent to an amendment, modification, cancellation or termination of the Lease, or agree to subordinate the Lease to any other mortgage, without Xxxxxx’s prior written consent in each instance, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

11. Options. With respect to any options for additional space provided to Tenant under the Lease, Xxxxxx agrees to recognize the same if Tenant is entitled thereto under the Lease after the date on which Xxxxxx succeeds as landlord under the Lease by virtue of foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure or Lender takes possession of the Premises; provided, however, Lender shall not be responsible for any acts of any prior landlord (including Landlórd) under the Lease, or the act of any tenant, subtenant or other party which prevents Lender from complying with the provisions hereof and Tenant shall have no right to cancel the Lease or to make any claims against Lender on account thereof.

12. Captions. Captions and headings of sections are not parts of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to affect the meaning or construction of any of the provisions of this Agreement.

13. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts each of which when executed and delivered is an original, but all of which together shall constitute one instrument.

14. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the state where the Property is located.

15. Parties Bound. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Tenant, Lender and Landlord and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, reference to successors and assigns of Tenant shall not constitute a consent by Landlord or Lender to an assignment or sublease by Tenant, but has reference only to those instances in which such consent is not required pursuant to the Lease or for which such consent has been given.
