3. Use. Tenant
shall occupy and use the Premises for and only for the Use specified in Section
1(i) above and in compliance with all Laws.
4. Term;
Extension Options.
(a) The
Term of
this Lease shall commence on the Commencement Date and shall end on the
Expiration Date, unless sooner terminated in accordance with terms of this
Lease.
(b) Provided
that
(A) Landlord has not given Tenant notice of default more than two (2) times
during the twelve (12) month period preceding Tenant’s exercise of this option
to extend, (B) there then exists no Event of Default by Tenant under this
lease,
and (C) no Event of Default occurs between Tenant’s exercise of this option to
extend the Term and the Expiration Date of the then-current Term, Tenant
shall
have the right and option (each an “Extension Option”) to
extend the Term for two (2) additional periods of ten (10) years each (each
an
“Extension Period”), exercisable by giving Landlord prior
written notice, at least eighteen (18) months in advance of the Expiration
Date
of the then-current Term, of Tenant’s election to extend the Term; it being
agreed that time is of the essence and that this option is personal to Tenant
and is non-transferable to any assignee or sublessee (regardless of whether
any
such assignment or sublease was made with or without Landlord’s consent) or
other party, other than an assignment to an Affiliate of Tenant in accordance
with this Lease. Such extension shall be under the same terms and
conditions as provided in this Lease except as follows:
-5-
(i) the
additional period shall begin on the Expiration Date, as such date may have
been

(ii) all
references to the Term in this Lease shall be deemed to mean the Term as
extended pursuant to this Section;
(iii) Tenant’s
right and option to extend the Term for two (2) additional periods as described

Expiration Date), determined as follows:
Within
thirty (30) days following the
date on which Landlord receives Tenant’s written notice exercising an Extension
Option (but in no event prior to the date that is seventeen (17) months prior
to
the date the Fair Market Rental is to become effective) Landlord will deliver
to
Tenant written notice of Landlord’s determination of the Fair Market Rental for
the Premises. Within thirty (30) days following the date on which
Tenant receives said notice from Landlord, Tenant may either (a) accept by
written notice to Landlord the Landlord’s determination of Fair Market Rental as
the Minimum Annual Rent for the Extension Period, (b) revoke the exercise
of its
Extension Option by written notice to Landlord, or (c) reject the Landlord’s
determination of the Fair Market Rental and advise Landlord in writing of
Tenant’s determination of the Fair Market Rental for the Premises. In
the event Tenant fails to timely elect item (a), (b), or (c), Tenant shall
be
deemed to have accepted Landlord’s determination of the Fair Market
Rental. In the event Tenant elects item (c) and thereafter the
parties fail to agree on the Fair Market Rental within thirty (30) days after
Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s notice of Tenant’s determination of Fair Market
Rental (such period, the “Negotiation Period”), Landlord and
Tenant shall each appoint a separate and independent Qualified Appraiser
(the
“Appointed Appraisers”) within ten (10)
Business Days following the end of the Negotiation Period. If either
Tenant or Landlord shall fail to timely appoint an appraiser, the appraiser
appointed by the other party shall select the second appraiser within five
(5)
Business Days after such party’s failure to appoint. Each Appointed
Appraiser shall make a determination of the Fair Market Rental for the Premises
taking into account the applicable market rent for buildings that are similarly
situated in the Philadelphia Metropolitan Area and are competitive with the
Premises, with appropriate adjustments for variations in location, building
size, tenant size, use, and such other criteria as the appraisers deem
appropriate. If the two appraisals differ by less than five percent
(5%), the Fair Market Rental shall be the mathematical average of the two
appraisals. If the two appraisals differ by five percent (5%) or
more, the Appointed Appraisers shall mutually appoint a third Qualified
Appraiser (the “Selected Appraiser”). If the
Appointed Appraisers shall be unable to agree within five (5) Business Days
on
the selection of a third appraiser, then either appraiser, on behalf of both,
may request the chapter of MAI appraisers located nearest to the Building
to
make such appointment. The Appointed Appraisers shall submit their
Initial Determinations (“Initial Determinations”) to the
Selected Appraiser within five (5) Business Days after the selection of the
Selected Appraiser. Within ten (10) Business Days after such
submission, the Selected Appraiser shall select one or the other of the two
appraisals, which decision shall be in writing with full explanation of the
decision, taking into account such information as the Selected Appraiser
deems
relevant. The Fair Market Rental determined by the Selected Appraiser
shall be binding on both Landlord and Tenant. Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Fair Market Rental
for
any Extension Period be less than the Minimum Annual Rent for the Lease Year
immediately preceding the Extension Period in question. Each party
shall pay the cost of its Appointed Appraiser and shall share equally the
cost
of the Selected Appraiser.
-6-
(v) The
Minimum
Annual Rent payable for each subsequent Lease Year of the Extension Period
shall
be determined and adjusted as of the first day of such Lease Year (each,
an
“Adjustment Date”) as follows:
Each
adjustment shall be made by
determining the percentage increase of the then Current Price Index over
the
Base Price Index. The percentage thus determined shall be multiplied
by the Minimum Annual Rent in effect for the Lease Year immediately preceding
the Adjustment Date in question, and the product thus determined shall be
added
to the Minimum Annual Rent payable for the Lease Year immediately preceding
the
Adjustment Date in question; the sum thereof shall be the Minimum Annual
Rent
payable for the Lease Year in which the Adjustment date occurs. No
adjustment under this Section 4(b)(v) shall be made if the result would be
a
decrease in the Minimum Annual Rent below the amount of Minimum Annual Rent
payable by Tenant for the Lease Year prior to the Adjustment Date in
question. “Base Price Index” shall mean the Price
Index for the first calendar month of the Lease Year immediately preceding
the
Adjustment Date. “Current Price Index” shall mean
the Price Index for the first calendar month of the Lease Year in which the
Adjustment Date occurs. If the Current Price Index has not yet been
published on the first calendar month of the Lease Year in which the Adjustment
Date occurs, the adjustment shall be made retroactively promptly after the
Current Price Index is published. “Price Index”
shall mean the “Consumer Price Index of the Bureau of Labor
Statistics for all Urban Consumers (CPI-U) for the United States (1982-84=100)”
or a successor or substitute index promulgated by the Bureau of Labor Statistics
appropriately adjusted to achieve substantially the same result had the
publication of the original Price Index not been discontinued.
(c) If
any realty
transfer or similar tax is payable as a result of the parties’ execution of this
Lease, Landlord shall pay an amount equal to the lesser of (i) fifty percent
(50%) of such tax, or (ii) Thirty Thousand Dollars ($30,000,00). The
balance of any such tax shall be paid by Tenant.
5. Rent.
(a) Commencing
on
the Commencement Date, Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord the Monthly Rent,
in
advance, on the first day of each calendar month during the Term in accordance
with the provisions of Section 1(f) and (if applicable) Section 4(b)(iv),
without deduction or offset, to an account designated by Landlord. If
the Commencement Date is not the first day of the month, the Initial Monthly
Rent for that month shall be apportioned on a per diem basis and shall be
paid
on or before the Commencement Date.
-7-
(b) Any
Rent not
paid within five (5) days after the due date will bear interest at the Interest
Rate from the date due to the date paid. In addition, Tenant will pay
Landlord a late payment charge equal to five percent (5%) of any Rent that
is
not paid within five (5) days after the date when due.
(c) If
any taxes,
special assessments, fees, or other charges are imposed against Landlord
by any
authority with respect to the Rent, Tenant will pay these amounts to Landlord
when due, provided that if it is unlawful for Tenant to reimburse Landlord
for
any of these amounts, the Minimum Annual Rent shall be increased by the amount
of such charges, unless prohibited by law.
6. Operating
Expense Adjustments; Reconciliation.
(a) The
amount of the Annual Operating
Expenses set forth in Section 1(g)
represents the estimated Operating
Expenses for the calendar year in which the Commencement Date occurs, based
upon
the budget for such estimated expenses attached hereto as Exhibit “L”. Landlord
may adjust
this amount from time to time if the estimated Annual Operating Expenses
increase or decrease. Landlord may also invoice Tenant separately
from time to time for any extraordinary or unanticipated Operating Expenses,
rather than waiting until the year-end reconciliation. By April 30 of
each year (and as soon as practical after the expiration or termination of
this
Lease or, at Landlord's option, after a sale of the Premises), Landlord shall
provide Tenant with a statement of the Operating Expenses for the preceding
calendar year or part thereof. Within thirty (30) days after delivery
of the statement to Tenant, Landlord or Tenant shall pay to the other the
amount
of any overpayment or deficiency then due from one to the other or, at
Landlord's option, Landlord may credit Tenant's account for any
overpayment. If Tenant does not give Landlord written notice within
thirty (30) days after receiving Landlord's statement that Tenant disagrees
with
the statement and specifying the items and amounts in dispute, Tenant shall
be
deemed to have waived the right to contest the statement. Landlord's
and Tenant's obligation to pay any overpayment or deficiency due the other
pursuant to this Section shall survive the expiration or termination of this
Lease.
(b) At
Tenant's
request, Landlord shall provide Tenant with supporting documentation for
any
element of Operating Expenses or any other charges passed through to Tenant
under this Lease. Landlord agrees that Tenant or its representative
shall have the right, at Tenant’s expense, once on an annual basis within 60
days after Tenant's receipt of the statement of Operating Expenses, to examine
and audit (using an independent certified public accountant selected by Tenant
and reasonably acceptable to Landlord) Landlord's books and records relating
to
Operating Expenses for either or both of the two (2) calendar years immediately
preceding such notice, during normal business hours at the main office of
Landlord. If as a result of an audit, it is determined (by written
agreement of Landlord and Tenant or by final appealable judgment or final
unappealable dispute resolution) that (i) Tenant is entitled to a refund,
Landlord shall refund all over payments made by Tenant during such period
within
thirty (30) days following such determination, or (ii) Landlord is entitled
to
receive an additional sum for Operating Expenses from Tenant, Tenant shall
remit
such additional payment to Landlord within thirty (30) days following such
determination. If it is determined (by written agreement of Landlord
and Tenant or by final appealable judgment or final unappealable dispute
resolution) that Landlord has overstated the actual amount of the Operating
Expenses for the applicable year by more than five percent (5%), Landlord
shall
be obligated to reimburse Tenant for its actual and reasonable out-of-pocket
costs of conducting such audit. Except as set forth above, Tenant
shall bear the total cost of any such audit. The provisions of this
section shall survive termination or expiration of this Lease. Tenant
shall give Landlord at least twenty (20) business days prior notice of its
desire to conduct such examination or audit and will not unreasonably interfere
with Landlord's or its property manager's normal business
activities.
-8-
(c) Throughout
the Term, Tenant shall pay directly to the applicable authority before they
become delinquent, all levies, taxes (including real estate taxes, school
district taxes, sales taxes, gross receipt taxes and the gross receipts portion
of any Business Privilege Tax or similar tax assessed by the City of
Philadelphia, subject to abatement as described in the Lease), assessments,
liens, license and permit fees which are applicable to the Term, and which
are
imposed by any authority or under any Law, or pursuant to any recorded covenants
or agreements, upon or with respect to the Premises, or any improvements
thereto, or directly upon this Lease or the Rent or upon amounts payable
by any
subtenants or other occupants of the Premises, or against Landlord because
of
Landlord's estate or interest in the Premises (collectively, the
“Impositions”). Landlord shall deliver to Tenant
copies of all bills received by Landlord for the Impositions promptly upon
Landlord’s receipt thereof. Nothing herein shall be interpreted as
requiring Tenant to pay any income, excess profits or corporate capital stock
tax imposed or assessed against Landlord, unless such tax or any similar
tax is
levied or assessed in lieu of all or any part of any Imposition or in increase
in any Imposition. If Tenant is permitted by the assessing and
collecting authority and by all mortgagees and elects to pay any Imposition
in
installments, Tenant shall nevertheless pay all unpaid installments thereof
prior to the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease, whether or not
such
installments are then due and payable. Tenant shall deliver to
Landlord receipts or other reasonably satisfactory evidence of payment of
all
such Impositions so paid by Tenant at least thirty (30) days prior to the
last
day upon which they may be paid without fine, penalty interest or
cost. If Tenant does not provide Landlord with the aforementioned
evidence within the time period specified, Landlord may pay the Impositions
to
the applicable authority, in which event Tenant shall, at Landlord’s election,
either reimburse Landlord for the full amount of the Impositions so paid
within
ten (10) days after Landlord’s written request therefor, or cause the amount so
paid to be included in the Operating Expenses. If Tenant fails to
timely pay any of the Impositions when due under this Lease, then in addition
to
all other remedies available to Landlord hereunder, Landlord may elect to
require Tenant to pay all or part of future Impositions to Landlord as part
of
the Operating Expenses. Provided that no Event of Default then
exists, Tenant may elect, by delivering written notice to Landlord, to have
Landlord pay the Impositions, whereupon the Impositions shall be included
in
Operating Expenses.
7. Utilities.
(a) If
Tenant
shall require electricity, gas or other utilities, or install machines or
equipment (including but not limited to ovens, product processing, heating,
refrigeration, or electronic data processing equipment) which may, in Landlord's
reasonable opinion, in any way exceed or overload the capacity of the utility
systems as described in the plans and specifications for the Building approved
in accordance with the procedures described in Exhibit “D”,
Tenant will pay for the additional expense resulting from the installation
of
additional equipment.
-9-
(b) Tenant
shall
obtain all utility services including, without limitation, all electricity,
telephone and other communication services which Tenant requires for the
conduct
of Tenant's business at the Premises, in Tenant's own name and, except as
otherwise required to be installed by Landlord as part of Landlord’s Work,
install, Maintain and repair all wiring, telephone and other communications
equipment at its sole cost and expense. Tenant shall pay, as and when
due, all charges for, and taxes on, the furnishing of all such utility
services. Landlord shall not be responsible or liable for any
interruption in utility, telephone or other communication service except
to the
extent caused by Landlord’s negligence or willful misconduct, nor shall such
interruption affect the continuation or validity of this Lease.
(c) Provided
an
Event of Default has not occurred under this Lease, Tenant shall have the
right
to install, Maintain and repair a satellite dish and related telecommunications
equipment (collectively, the “Telecommunications Equipment”) on
the roof of the Building or on or along any exterior wall of the Building
(only
to the extent a roof-mounted installation is not permitted on account of
building height restrictions imposed by applicable codes and/or ordinances)
for
Tenant’s exclusive use under and subject to the following conditions: (i) Tenant
shall comply with all Laws and Requirements (including, but not limited to,
obtaining all required permits and licenses) and shall obtain, and deliver
to
Landlord written evidence of, any approval(s) required under any recorded
covenants or restrictions applicable to the Premises, (ii) Tenant shall obtain
Landlord's prior approval of the location of the Telecommunications Equipment
on
the roof of the Building and of the specifications for each item of the
Telecommunications Equipment, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld
and if Landlord gives its approval to such installation, Tenant agrees to
use
Landlord's roofing contractor (provided such contractor is available at
competitive market rates) to ensure that the installation will be performed
in a
manner that will not result in an impairment of any warranty for the roof
obtained by Landlord or result in any damage to the roof other than incidental
damage normally associated with such installation, (iii) at least three (3)
Business Days prior to installation, Tenant shall notify Landlord of the
date
and time of the installation, (iv) Tenant shall Maintain the Telecommunications
Equipment in a safe, good and orderly condition, and the installation,
Maintenance, repair and removal of the Telecommunications Equipment shall
be
performed at Tenant's sole expense in a manner which will not impair the
integrity of, damage or adversely affect the warranty applicable to, the
roof or
any other portion of the Premises, (v) no later than the expiration or sooner
termination of the Term, at Tenant's sole expense, Tenant shall remove the
Telecommunications Equipment and repair any resulting damage, and (vi) Tenant's
indemnification of Landlord pursuant to Section 8 of this Lease also applies
to
the Telecommunications Equipment and Tenant's use of any portion of the Premises
therefor.
8. Insurance;
Indemnification.
(a) Landlord
shall Maintain insurance against loss or damage to the Building or the Premises
with coverage for perils as set forth under the “Causes of Loss-Special Form” or
equivalent property insurance policy in an amount equal to the full insurable
replacement cost of the Building (excluding coverage of Tenant’s personal
property and any Alterations by Tenant), and such other insurance, including
rent loss coverage, as Landlord may reasonably deem appropriate or as any
Mortgagee may require.
-10-
(b) Tenant,
at
its own expense, shall keep in effect commercial liability insurance, including
contractual liability insurance, covering Tenant's operations on or about
the
Premises, with such limits of liability as Landlord may reasonably determine
from time-to-time, but not less than a combined single limit of $5,000,000
per
occurrence and in the aggregate for bodily injury or property damage (the
aggregate limits shall apply separately to each of Tenant's locations if
more
than the Premises); however, such limits shall not limit the liability of
Tenant
hereunder. The policy shall name Landlord, and if requested by
Landlord, Liberty Property Trust, Landlord's Mortgagee(s) and Landlord Agent(s)
as additional insureds with respect to the Premises, shall be written on
an
“occurrence” basis and not on a “claims made” basis, shall be endorsed to
provide that it is primary to and not contributory to any policies carried
by
Landlord, shall contain a severability of interests clause, shall provide
that
it shall not be cancelable or reduced without at least 30 days prior written
notice to Landlord and shall be issued in form reasonably satisfactory to
Landlord. The insurer shall be a responsible insurance carrier which
is authorized to issue such insurance and licensed to do business in the
state
in which the Premises is located and which has at all times during the Term
a
rating of no less than A VII in the most current edition
of Best's Insurance Reports. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord on or
before the Commencement Date, and at least 10 days prior to the date of each
policy renewal thereafter, a certificate of insurance evidencing such coverage
and the waiver of subrogation described below.
(c) Landlord
and
Tenant each waive, and release each other from and against, all claims for
recovery against the other for any loss or damage to the property of such
party
arising out of fire or other casualty coverable by a standard “Causes of Special
Loss” property insurance policy with, in the case of Tenant, such endorsements
and additional coverages as are considered good business practice in Tenant's
business, even if such loss or damage shall be brought about by the fault
or
negligence of the other party or its Agents. This waiver and release
is effective regardless of whether the releasing party actually maintains
the
insurance described above in this Subsection and is not limited to the amount
of
insurance actually carried, or to the actual proceeds received after a
loss. Each party shall have its insurance company that issues its
property coverage waive any rights of subrogation, and shall have the insurance
company include an endorsement acknowledging this waiver, if
necessary. Subject to Section 8(e) below, Tenant assumes all risk of
damage of Tenant's property within the Premises, including any loss or damage
caused by water leakage, fire, windstorm, explosion, theft, act of any other
tenant, or other cause.
(d) Subject
to
Subsection 8(c) above, and except to the extent caused by the negligence
or
willful misconduct of Landlord or its Agents, Tenant will indemnify, defend,
and
hold harmless Landlord and its Agents from and against any and all claims,
actions, damages, liability and expense (including reasonable fees of attorneys,
investigators and experts) which may be asserted against, imposed upon, or
incurred by Landlord or its Agents and arising out of or in connection with
loss
of life, personal injury or damage to property in or about the Premises,
or
arising out of the occupancy or use of the Premises by Tenant or its Agents,
or
occasioned wholly or in part by any act or omission of Tenant or its Agents
(including any construction undertaken by Tenant on the Premises), whether
prior
to, during or after the Term. Tenant's obligations pursuant to this
Subsection shall survive the expiration or termination of this
Lease.
-11-
(e) Subject
to
Subsection 8(c) above, and except to the extent caused by the negligence
or
willful misconduct of Tenant or its Agents, Landlord will indemnify, defend,
and
hold harmless Tenant and its Agents from and against any and all claims,
actions, damages, liability and expense (including reasonable fees of attorneys,
investigators and experts) which may be asserted against, imposed upon, or
incurred by Tenant or its Agents and arising out of or in connection with
loss
of life, personal injury or damage to property occurring in or about the
Premises occasioned wholly or in part by any act or omission of Landlord
or its
Agents. In case any action or proceeding is brought against Tenant
and/or its Agents by reason of the foregoing, Landlord, at its expense, shall
resist and defend such action or proceeding, or cause the same to be resisted
and defended by counsel designated by the insurer whose policy covers such
occurrence or by counsel designated by Landlord and reasonably approved by
Tenant and its Agents. Landlord's obligations pursuant to this
Subsection shall survive the expiration or termination of this
Lease.
9. Maintenance
and Repairs.
(a) Landlord
shall, throughout the Term, Maintain in a manner which shall at all times
be
consistent with first class industrial baking/office/warehouse/shipping
facilities in major U.S. metropolitan areas: (i) the exterior walls, footings,
foundations, structural steel columns and girders of the Building; (ii) the
Building roof, (iii) all utility connections, systems and equipment up to
the
main utility rooms of the Building, (iv) the exterior finishes and windows
of
the Building, and (v) the parking areas, sidewalks and exterior landscaping
on
the Premises. At Tenant’s request (and at Tenant’s expense), Landlord
shall also be responsible for snow and ice removal from the parking areas
and
sidewalks on the Premises. If Tenant becomes aware of any condition
that is Landlord's responsibility to Maintain, Tenant shall promptly notify
Landlord of the condition.
(b) Tenant
shall,
throughout the Term, Maintain the interior of the Building and all of the
Building Systems (including the HVAC and fire suppression systems serving
the
Premises) in a manner which shall at all times be consistent with first class
industrial bakery/office/warehouse/shipping facilities in major U.S.
metropolitan areas. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
Tenant shall provide quality preventive Maintenance to all Building Systems
(including the HVAC and fire suppression systems) and shall provide Landlord
with written proof of such preventive Maintenance, in form and frequency
reasonably acceptable to Landlord.
(c) Alterations,
repairs and replacements to the Premises made necessary because of Tenant's
Alterations or installations, any use or circumstances special or particular
to
Tenant, or any act or omission of Tenant or its Agents shall be made at the
sole
expense of Tenant.
(d) Tenant
shall,
at its sole cost and expense, obtain trash removal and janitorial services
for
the Premises. Tenant shall store and dispose of all trash and food
waste in a manner consistent with first class industrial
bakery/office/warehouse/shipping facilities in major U.S. metropolitan
areas. Tenant shall Maintain and clearly label all disposal
containers for all Hazardous Materials separate and apart from normal trash
receptacles. Without limiting the effect of Section 10(c) below, no
trash that constitutes or contains any Hazardous Materials may be disposed
of in
trash receptacles located in that portion of the Premises used for food
preparation or general office use. Any and all contractors engaged by
Tenant to remove and dispose of trash comprising Hazardous Materials shall
be
bonded and licensed in accordance with applicable Laws, and a copy of each
such
contractor's licenses and bond shall be provided by Tenant to Landlord (i)
on or
before the Commencement Date with respect to the initial contractors hired
by
Tenant, and (ii) promptly upon Tenant engaging any subsequent
contractors.
-12-
10. Compliance.
(a) Subject
to
Landlord’s obligation to perform the Landlord’s Work in accordance with the
terms of Exhibit “D” of this Lease, Tenant will, at its
expense, promptly comply with all Laws now or subsequently pertaining to
Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises, as well as with the Building
Rules. Tenant will pay any taxes or other charges by any authority on
Tenant's property or trade fixtures or relating to Tenant's use of the
Premises. If Tenant or its Agents shall use the Premises in any
manner that under any Law would require Landlord to make any Alteration to
or in
the Building or any other part of the Premises, Tenant shall be solely
responsible for the cost thereof, except as otherwise expressly set forth
in
this Section 10. Landlord shall be responsible, at Landlord's sole
cost and expense, for making sure that the Landlord Work complies with the
ADA
and any other Laws regarding accessibility as of the Commencement Date, and
shall be responsible to make structural alterations to the Building required
by
changes in Laws that are unrelated to Tenant’s particular use of the
Premises. Tenant shall be responsible for compliance with the ADA,
and any other Laws (including those regarding accessibility), with respect
to
any of Tenant's Alterations, equipment, trade fixtures or its manner of use
of
the Premises. Tenant shall not use or keep in the Building any matter
having an offensive odor or permit the emission from the Premises of offensive
or noxious odors, effluents, fumes, dust or ashes (and the parties hereby
confirm that the odor of fresh baked goods does not constitute an offensive
or
noxious odor). Any sidewalks, lobbies, passages, elevators and
stairways shall not be obstructed or used by Tenant for any purpose (including,
without limitation, exterior storage) other than ingress and egress from
and to
the Premises. Except as set forth in Section 11, nothing shall be
placed by Tenant on the outside of the Building or on its window xxxxx or
projections.
(b) Tenant
agrees
not to do anything or fail to do anything that will prevent Landlord from
procuring insurance policies (including public liability) from companies
and in
a form reasonably satisfactory to Landlord. Tenant shall comply with
all rules and operational standards of Landlord’s insurer governing the Premises
and Tenant’s operations therein, which rules and standards shall be provided by
Landlord to Tenant. If Tenant's acts or omissions result in an
increase in the cost of Landlord's insurance, Tenant shall pay the amount
of
such increase as Additional Rent within thirty (30) days after being
billed.
(c) In
addition
to the provisions of Subsection 10(a) above with respect to Hazardous Materials,
Tenant shall comply, at its sole expense, with all Laws including, but not
limited to, Environmental Laws, all manufacturers' instructions and all
requirements of insurers relating to the treatment, production, storage,
handling, transfer, processing, transporting, use, disposal and release of
Hazardous Materials (the “Restricted
Activities”). Tenant shall deliver to Landlord copies of all
Material Safety Data Sheets or other written information prepared by
manufacturers, importers or suppliers of any chemical and all notices, filings,
permits and any other written communications from or to Tenant and any entity
regulating any Restricted Activities. Tenant will protect, indemnify
and hold harmless Landlord and its Agents from and against any and all claims,
actions, damages, liability and expense (including reasonable fees of attorneys,
investigators and experts) incurred by reason of Tenant's failure to fully
comply with all applicable Laws (including, but not limited to, Environmental
Laws), all manufacturers' instructions and all requirements of insurers relating
to Restricted Activities to the extent applicable to Tenant, or the release,
presence, handling, use or disposition of Hazardous Materials in or from
the
Premises by Tenant or its Agents. The parties hereby confirm that, on
or before the execution of this Lease, Landlord has delivered to Tenant copies
of the environmental report listed on Exhibit “H” (the
“Environmental Report”). Landlord hereby represents
and warrants to Tenant that, as of the Effective Date, Landlord has no actual
knowledge of any violation of Environmental Laws at the Premises, except
as
disclosed by the Environmental Reports (including any instruments identified
within the Environmental Report). As used in this Section 10(c),
Landlord’s “actual knowledge” shall mean the actual knowledge on the Effective
Date, without investigation, of any of the following officers of Landlord:
Xxxx
X. Xxxxxxx, Senior Vice President, Xxxxx Xxxxx, Director of Navy Yard
Development and Marketing, or Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Project
Director. Landlord agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to
pursue available legal and equitable remedies against known third parties
that
cause a release of Hazardous Materials onto the Premises in violation of
Environmental Laws.
-13-
11. Signs. Tenant
shall not place any signs on the Premises without the prior consent of Landlord,
other than signs that are located wholly within the interior of the Premises
and
not visible from the exterior of the Premises. Tenant shall Maintain
all signs installed by Tenant in good condition. Tenant shall remove its
signs
at the termination of this Lease, shall repair any resulting damage, and
shall
restore the Premises to its condition existing prior to the installation
of
Tenant’s signs. The parties agree to work together collaboratively to
design signage that is mutually acceptable to the parties. Initial
concept drawings of potential signage are attached hereto as Exhibit
“I” and are provided to facilitate the parties’ discussions respecting
signage. Landlord consents to the signage concepts set forth on
Exhibit “I”, subject to the development of acceptable technical
specifications regarding materials, lighting, installation and other matters,
which will be developed by Landlord and subject to the reasonable approval
of
Tenant.
12. Alterations.
(a) Tenant
may
install its trade fixtures and equipment in the Premises (including signage
in
accordance with Section 11), provided that the installation and removal of
them
will not affect any structural portion of the Building, nor impair the
operation, Maintenance or efficiency of the Building Systems (including HVAC
and
fire suppression systems) serving the Building. At the expiration or
termination of this Lease, Tenant shall remove all of such trade fixtures
and
equipment, shall repair any resulting damage and shall restore the Premises
substantially to its condition existing prior to such installation, normal
wear
and tear and casualty damages or other conditions that Tenant is not required
to
remedy under this Lease excepted. If Tenant fails to remove any such
installation in accordance with this Lease, the installation shall, at
Landlord's election, remain on the Premises and become the property of Landlord
without payment by Landlord.
-14-
(b) Without
the
need for Landlord's prior consent, Tenant may make Alterations in the Premises
to the extent that such Alterations do not (i) affect the structure of the
Building or any Building System (other than Alterations to the electrical
system
serving the Building to the extent such Alterations are made “down stream” from
the applicable electrical panel), (ii) except with respect to signs installed
in
accordance with Section 11, affect the exterior appearance of the Building,
(iii) reduce the value of the Building or Premises, (iv) penetrate the floor
of
the Building or any paved surface of the Premises, (v) do not exceed $250,000.00
in the aggregate, and (vi) do not impair the operation, Maintenance or
efficiency of the Building Systems (including HVAC and fire suppression systems)
serving the Building. Except as provided above in this Subsection
12(b), Tenant shall not make or permit any other Alterations in or to the
Premises without first obtaining Landlord's written consent, which consent
shall
not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. With respect to
any Alterations made by or on behalf of Tenant (A) not less than ten (10)
Business Days prior to commencing any Alteration, Tenant shall deliver to
Landlord the plans, specifications and necessary permits for the Alteration,
together with certificates evidencing that Tenant's contractors and
subcontractors have adequate insurance coverage naming Landlord and Landlord's
Agents as additional insureds, (B) Tenant shall obtain Landlord's prior written
approval of any contractor or subcontractor who is to perform work on the
Premises, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned
or
delayed, (C) the Alteration shall be constructed with new materials, in a
good
and workmanlike manner, and in compliance with all Laws and the plans and
specifications delivered to, and, if required above, approved by Landlord,
(D)
Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
incurred by Landlord in connection with any review of Tenant's plans and
specifications by architects, engineers or other professional consultants
retained by Landlord to the extent necessary in light of the Alterations
which
Tenant desires to make, and (E) upon Landlord's reasonable request, Tenant
shall, prior to commencing any Alteration, provide Landlord with evidence
of
Tenant's ability to pay for the Alterations. If Landlord does not
respond to any written request made by Tenant to Landlord in accordance with
this Section 12(b) within five (5) business days after such request is received
by Landlord, Landlord shall be deemed to have approved the
request. Any Alteration by Tenant shall be the property of Tenant
until the expiration or termination of this Lease. Subject to Section
21, upon the expiration or termination of this Lease, the Alteration shall
remain on the Premises and become the property of Landlord without payment
by
Landlord, except that Tenant shall remove any personal property in the Premises
that is not affixed to and made a part of the Premises and such other
Alterations as Landlord may designate. At Tenant’s request from time
to time (including prior to the construction of any Alterations if Tenant
provides Landlord with adequate plans and specifications), Landlord shall
identify for Tenant which Alterations Landlord shall require Tenant to remove
at
the end of the Term of this Lease.
(c) Tenant
agrees
to fully cooperate with Landlord and cause each of Tenant’s contractors and
design professionals to similarly cooperate so that any Alterations will
be
performed and completed in as smooth and harmonious a manner as is possible
with
labor compatible with other labor utilized at the Navy Yard.

13. Mechanics'
Liens. Tenant
shall promptly pay for any properly performed labor, services, materials,
supplies or equipment furnished to Tenant in or about the
Premises. Tenant shall keep the Premises free from any liens arising
out of any labor, services, materials, supplies or equipment furnished or
alleged to have been furnished to Tenant; provided, however, that Tenant
shall
have the right to contest the validity or amount of any such
lien. Tenant shall take all steps permitted by law in order to avoid
the imposition of any such lien, including causing Tenant's contractor to
be
bonded and, to the extent feasible, requiring all subcontractors,
sub-subcontractors, suppliers and materialmen to file with the Prothonotary
of
Philadelphia County appropriate waivers of lien prior to the commencement
of any
work or the delivery of any materials to the Premises. Should any
such lien or notice of such lien be filed against the Premises, Tenant shall
bond against or discharge the same within sixty (60) days after Tenant has
notice that the lien or claim is filed regardless of the validity of such
lien
or claim.
14. Landlord's
Right of Entry Tenant
shall permit Landlord and its Agents to enter the Premises at reasonable
times
following not less than 24 hours' prior notice (except in an emergency, when
only such notice as is reasonable under the circumstances shall be required),
provided that Landlord and its Agents comply with such procedures as may
be
established from time to time by Tenant for visitors to the Premises including,
without limitation, that any such visitor be accompanied by a representative
of
Tenant at all times, to inspect the Premises, to the extent reasonably necessary
for Landlord (i) to perform its Maintenance obligations, (ii) to exhibit
the
Premises for the purpose of sale or financing, and, (ii) during the last
eighteen (18) months of the Term, to exhibit the Premises to any prospective
tenant. Landlord will use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize
any inconvenience to Tenant in exercising such rights.
15. Damage
by Fire or Other
Casualty.
(a) If
the
Premises or the Building or any part thereof is so damaged by fire or other
casualty, cause or condition (an “Occurrence”) whatsoever,
Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord. If the Occurrence causes the
Premise or the Building to be substantially untenantable and, despite Landlord
having maintained the insurance required by this Lease, there are insufficient
insurance proceeds available to complete the restoration of the Premises,
Landlord may, by written notice to Tenant given within ninety (90) days after
such damage, terminate this Lease as of the date of the damage.
(b) If,
as a
result of fire or other casualty, cause or condition whatsoever the Premises
are
made partially or wholly untenantable, Tenant shall have the right to terminate
this Lease within ninety (90) days after the Occurrence unless Landlord's
contractor estimates in writing that the Premises can reasonably be expected
to
be restored within eighteen (18) months after the Occurrence to substantially the same
condition in
which they were immediately prior to such damage or destruction, but not
including the repair, restoration or replacement of the fixtures, equipment,
or
Alterations installed by or for Tenant. If neither Landlord
nor Tenant terminates this Lease pursuant this Section 15, Landlord shall
proceed promptly and with due diligence to restore the Premises in a good
and
workmanlike manner to substantially the condition that existed immediately
prior
to the casualty, but not including the repair, restoration or replacement
of the
fixtures, equipment or Alterations installed by or on behalf of
Tenant. Landlord will coordinate reasonably with Tenant to develop
any necessary plans and specifications for the restoration of that part of
the
Building that would constitute Tenant Improvement Work under Exhibit
“D” of this Lease. If (i) Landlord does not terminate this
Lease pursuant to Subsection 15(a), (ii) Tenant does not terminate this Lease
pursuant to Subsection 15(b), and (iii) Landlord fails, within eighteen (18)
months after the parties confirm in writing that the Lease is not to be
terminated pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 10, to
substantially restore the Premises, then Tenant may terminate this Lease
by
giving written notice to Landlord within thirty (30) days after the expiration
of such eighteen (18) month period, unless Landlord is then pursuing such
restoration with reasonable diligence (having due regard for reasonable delay
caused by adjustment of insurance loss, strikes, labor difficulties or any
cause
beyond Landlord's reasonable control). For the purposes of this
Lease, the Premises shall be considered tenantable so long as and to the
extent
that the Premises are occupied. In any event, Tenant shall be
responsible for the removal, or restoration, when applicable, of all its
damaged
property and debris from
the Premises, upon request by Landlord or reimburse Landlord for the cost
of
removal. Tenant's obligation to pay Minimum Annual Rent and any other
amounts under this Lease shall xxxxx to the extent the Premises are rendered
untenantable as a result of the casualty. Further, if a
casualty occurs during the last two (2) years of the Term, either Landlord
or
Tenant may terminate this Lease upon written notice to the other party given
within thirty (30) days after the date of the casualty.
-16-
16. Condemnation. If
(a) all of the Premises are Taken, (b) any part of the Premises is Taken
and the
remainder is insufficient for the reasonable operation of Tenant's business,
or
(c) any of the Premises is Taken, and, in Landlord's opinion, it would be
impractical or the condemnation proceeds are insufficient to restore the
remainder, then this Lease shall terminate as of the date the condemning
authority takes possession. If this Lease is not terminated pursuant
to this Section, Landlord shall restore the Building to a condition as near
as
reasonably possible to the condition prior to the Taking, the Minimum Annual
Rent shall be abated equitably according to the rental value of the Premises
before and after the date upon which the condemning authority took possession
and/or the date Landlord completes the restoration, and this Lease shall
be
amended appropriately to reflect the deletion of the space Taken. The
compensation awarded for a Taking shall belong to Landlord, and Tenant hereby
assigns all claims against the condemning authority to Landlord other than
those
that may be separately claimed and awarded by law to Tenant without diminution
in the value or amount of Landlord's claims.
17. Quiet
Enjoyment.
Landlord covenants that Tenant, upon performing all of its covenants, agreements
and conditions of this Lease, shall have quiet and peaceful possession of
the
Premises as against anyone claiming by or through Landlord, subject, however,
to
the terms of this Lease, subject to existing deed restrictions and easements
of
record, as set forth in the title report for the Premises attached hereto
as
Exhibit “K” and such other matters as may be placed of record
by Landlord in accordance with this Lease.
18. Assignment
and Subletting.
(a) Tenant
shall
not assign this Lease or sublet all or any part of the Premises (a
“Transfer”) without the prior written consent of Landlord,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or
delayed. Without limitation, Tenant agrees that Landlord’s consent
shall not be considered unreasonably withheld if (i) the proposed transferee
is
an existing tenant of Landlord or an Affiliate of Landlord, (ii) the business,
business reputation or creditworthiness of the proposed transferee is
unacceptable to Landlord in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, (iii) except with
respect to a proposed transferee that Tenant presents to Landlord and with
whom
Landlord has had no prior dealings with respect to property in the Mid-Atlantic
region and to whom Tenant is offering its space for not less than the lesser
of
(A) the then-current Rent, or (B) the rent for other industrial space marketed
by Landlord or its Affiliate in the Mid-Atlantic region, Landlord or an
Affiliate of Landlord has comparable space available for lease by the proposed
transferee, or (iv) Tenant is in default under this Lease or any act or omission
has occurred which would constitute a default with the giving of notice and/or
the passage of time. A consent to one Transfer shall not be deemed to
be a consent to any subsequent Transfer. Notwithstanding any
assignment or subletting and except as otherwise provided below, Tenant shall
remain fully liable on this Lease and shall not be released from performing
any
of the terms, covenants and conditions hereof. Landlord’s acceptance
of Rent from any person shall not be deemed to be a waiver by Landlord of
any
provision of this Lease or to be a consent to any Transfer. Any
Transfer not in conformity with this Section 18 shall be void at the option
of
Landlord.
-17-
(b) Upon
any
Transfer, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, immediately upon receipt, the excess
of
(i) all compensation received by Tenant for the Transfer, over (ii) the Rent
allocable to the Premises transferred, less reasonable out of pocket costs
incurred by Tenant to effectuate such Transfer, including reasonable legal
fees,
advertising expenses, leasing commissions and similar costs. No
Transfer shall relieve Tenant from its obligations under the Improvements
Agreement unless otherwise agreed in writing by Landlord and its Affiliate,
Liberty Property Limited Partnership.
(c) Notwithstanding
the
provisions of Subsection 18(a), Landlord agrees that no consent shall be
required for a Transfer by Tenant to any Affiliate of Tenant, provided
that:
(i) Tenant
shall
remain fully liable on this Lease and shall not be released from performing
any
of the terms, covenants and conditions hereof;
(ii) The
Affiliate has shareholder equity (or its equivalent) at least equal to the
shareholder equity of Tenant on the date immediately preceding the
Transfer;
(iii) The
Affiliate uses the Premises in accordance with all applicable laws, codes
and
ordinances (including Environmental Laws) and in accordance with the
Use;
(iv) Tenant
provides Landlord notice of the Transfer at least thirty (30) days prior
to the
effective date of the transfer, together with current financial statements
of
the Affiliate certified by an executive officer of the Affiliate;
(v) Tenant
delivers to Landlord an assumption agreement reasonably acceptable to Landlord
executed by Tenant and the Affiliate, together with a certificate of insurance
evidencing the Affiliate’s compliance with the insurance requirements of Tenant
under this Lease; and
-18-
(vi) If
directed
by Landlord, the Affiliate assumes all of Tenant’s obligations under the
Improvements Agreement and/or issues a new LC in favor of Landlord that complies
with the terms of this Lease.
(d) Landlord
agrees that it shall not, without Tenant’s prior consent (which may be withheld
at Tenant’s sole discretion) convey the Premises or assign its interest under
this Lease, other than to an Affiliate of Landlord, or to a joint venture
of
which Landlord or its Affiliate is the general partner, managing member or
manager (pursuant to a joint venture agreement or separate management agreement)
for a period of five (5) years from the Commencement Date.
19. Subordination;
Mortgagee's Rights.
(a) This
Lease
shall be subordinate to any Mortgage now or in the future affecting the
Premises, provided that Tenant's right of possession of the Premises shall
not
be disturbed by the Mortgagee so long as Tenant is not in default under this
Lease, such subordination being subject to and conditioned upon Landlord's
providing Tenant with a Subordination, Non-disturbance and Attornment Agreement
from any such Mortgagee in recordable form and in a form reasonably acceptable
to Landlord, Tenant and such Mortgagee. Although the subordination is
self-operative, within ten (10) days after written request, Tenant shall
execute
and deliver any further instruments confirming the subordination of this
Lease
and any further instruments of attornment that the Mortgagee may reasonably
request. However, any Mortgagee may at any time subordinate its
Mortgage to this Lease, without Tenant's consent, by giving notice to Tenant,
and this Lease shall then be deemed prior to such Mortgage without regard
to
their respective dates of execution and delivery; provided that such
subordination shall not affect any Mortgagee's rights with respect to
condemnation awards, casualty insurance proceeds, intervening liens or any
right
which shall arise between the recording of such Mortgage and the execution
of
this Lease.
(b) Unless
otherwise agreed by Landlord, Tenant and the Mortgagee, no Mortgagee shall
be
(i) liable for any previous act or omission of a prior landlord, (ii) subject
to
any rental offsets or defenses against a prior landlord, (iii) bound by any
amendment of this Lease made without its written consent, or (iv) bound by
payment of Monthly Rent more than one month in advance or liable for any
other
funds paid by Tenant to Landlord unless such funds actually have been
transferred to the Mortgagee by Landlord.
20. Estoppel
Certificates; Tenant’s Financial Information. Within
ten (10) Business Days after Landlord's written request from time to time
in
connection with a sale, financing or other transaction involving the Premises,
Tenant shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord, for the benefit
of
Landlord, Landlord's Mortgagee, any prospective Mortgagee, and any prospective
purchaser of Landlord's interest in the Premises, an estoppel certificate
in the
form of attached Exhibit “B” (or other form requested by
Landlord), modified as necessary to accurately state the facts
represented. Tenant understands that the estoppel certificate may be
relied upon by Landlord, Landlord's Mortgagee and any prospective Mortgagee
or
purchaser of Landlord's interest in the Premises, and their respective
successors and assigns. Within ten (10) days
after
Landlord's written request from time to time (but not more than twice during
any
twelve month period), Tenant shall furnish to Landlord, Landlord's Mortgagee,
prospective Mortgagee and/or purchaser reasonably requested financial
information (provided that so long as Tenant is a publicly traded company,
publicly available financial information shall be deemed to satisfy this
requirement).
-19-
21. Surrender;
Abandoned Property.
(a) On
the date
on which this Lease expires or terminates, Tenant shall return possession
of the
Premises to Landlord in good condition, except for ordinary wear and tear,
and
except for casualty damage or other conditions that Tenant is not required
to
remedy under this Lease. Tenant shall give Landlord all keys, access
cards and passes for the Premises and the Building and will inform Landlord
of
combinations of any locks or safes on the Premises. If Tenant does
not return possession of the Premises to Landlord in the condition required
under this Lease, Tenant shall pay Landlord all resulting damages Landlord
may
suffer.
(b) Prior
to the
expiration or termination of this Lease, Tenant shall remove from the Premises
any personal property (including Tenant’s equipment) not belonging to
Landlord. Any personal property not so removed shall be deemed
abandoned, and Landlord, at Tenant's expense, may remove, store, sell or
otherwise dispose of such property in such manner as Landlord may see fit
and/or
Landlord may retain such property as its property. If any part
thereof shall be sold, then Landlord may receive and retain the proceeds
of sale
and apply the same, at its option, against the expenses of the sale, the
cost of
moving and storage and any Rent.
(c) If
Tenant
remains in possession of the Premises after the expiration or termination
of
this Lease, Tenant's occupancy of the Premises shall be that of a tenancy
at
will. Tenant's occupancy during any holdover period shall otherwise
be subject to the provisions of this Lease (unless clearly inapplicable),
except
that the Monthly Rent shall be equal to 150% for the first 60 days of the
holdover, and thereafter 200%, of the Monthly Rent payable for the last full
month immediately preceding the holdover. No holdover or payment by
Tenant after the expiration or termination of this Lease shall operate to
extend
the Term or prevent Landlord from immediate recovery of possession of the
Premises by summary proceedings or otherwise. Any provision in this
Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, any holdover by Tenant shall constitute
a
default on the part of Tenant under this Lease entitling Landlord to exercise,
without obligation to provide Tenant any notice or cure period, all of the
remedies available to Landlord in the event of a Tenant default, and Tenant
shall be liable for all damages, including consequential damages, that Landlord
suffers as a result of the holdover.
(d) Attached
hereto as Exhibit “C” is a preliminary list of those
alterations, improvements, fixtures and equipment that Tenant shall be required
to remove from the Premises on or before the expiration of the
Term. The parties acknowledge that the list set forth on
Exhibit “C” is based on plans and specifications for the
Premises which are not yet fully developed. Landlord shall have the
right, from time to time by written notice to Tenant, to augment or modify
such
list based on newly developed features of the Premises as development
progresses.
22. Defaults

Remedies.
-20-
(a) It
shall be
an Event of Default:
(i) If
Tenant
does not pay in full any and all Rent within five (5) business days after
Landlord gives Tenant notice that such Rent was not paid when due, except
as
provided in Subsection 22(c) below;
(ii) If
Tenant fails to observe and perform or otherwise breaches any other provision
of
this Lease, and, except as provided in Subsection 22(c) below, Tenant
fails to cure the default on or before the date that is ten (10) Business
Days
after Landlord gives Tenant notice of default; provided, however, if the
default
cannot reasonably be cured within ten (10) Business Days following Landlord's
notice, Tenant shall be afforded additional reasonable time to cure the default
(not to exceed an additional one hundred Eighty (180) days) if Tenant begins
to
cure the default within ten (10) Business Days following Landlord's notice
and
continues diligently in good faith to completely cure the default;
(iii) If
Tenant becomes insolvent or bankrupt in any sense or makes a general assignment
for the benefit of creditors or offers a settlement to creditors, or if a
petition in bankruptcy or for reorganization or for an arrangement with
creditors under any federal or state law is filed by or against Tenant, or
a
xxxx in equity or other proceeding for the appointment of a receiver for
any of
Tenant's assets is commenced, or if any of the real or personal property
of
Tenant shall be levied upon in connection with such insolvency or bankruptcy
proceeding; provided that any proceeding brought by anyone other than Landlord
or Tenant under any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law shall
not constitute an Event of Default until such proceeding has continued unstayed
for more than 60 consecutive days.
(iv) If
Tenant enters in to or permits a Transfer in violation of Section 18
above.
(v) If
any default occurs under the Improvements Agreement which is not cured within
the time periods specified therein.
(vi) If,
subject to the reductions permitted under Section 27, the LC is terminated
or
expires prior to the original Expiration Date of this Lease, or if Landlord
receives notice from the issuing bank that the LC will expire or be terminated
prior to the original Expiration Date of this Lease and Tenant does not cause
the LC to be renewed or reissued within the earlier of (A) five (5) Business
Days after Landlord’s written notice to Tenant, or (B) thirty (30) days prior to
the effective date of such expiration or termination.
(b) If
an Event
of Default occurs, Landlord shall have the following rights and
remedies:
(i) Landlord,
without any obligation to do so, may elect to cure the default on behalf
of
Tenant, in which event Tenant shall reimburse Landlord upon demand for any
sums
paid or costs incurred by Landlord in curing the default (together with an
administrative fee of 15% thereof), plus interest thereon at the Interest
Rate
from the respective dates of Landlord's incurring such costs, which sums
and
costs together with interest at the Interest Rate shall be deemed Additional
Rent;
-21-
(ii) To
enter and
repossess the Premises and remove all persons and all or any property, in
accordance with applicable Laws, without being liable for prosecution or
damages, and Landlord may, at Landlord's option, make Alterations and repairs
in
order to relet the Premises and relet all or any part(s) of the Premises
for
Tenant's account. Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord on demand any
deficiency that may arise by reason of such reletting. In the event
of reletting without termination of this Lease, Landlord may at any time
thereafter elect to terminate this Lease for such previous breach;
(iii) To
accelerate
the whole or any part of the Rent for the balance of the Term, and declare
the
same to be immediately due and payable;
(iv) To
terminate
this Lease and the Term without any right on the part of Tenant to save the
forfeiture by payment of any sum due or by other performance of any condition,
term or covenant broken.
(v) IN
ADDITION TO THE RIGHTS AND REMEDIES PROVIDED ABOVE, IF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT
OCCURS RELATING TO TENANT'S NON-PAYMENT OF THE RENT DUE HEREUNDER, TENANT
HEREBY
AUTHORIZES ANY ATTORNEY OF ANY COURT OF RECORD OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF
PENNSYLVANIA TO APPEAR FOR TENANT AND TO CONFESS JUDGMENT AGAINST TENANT,
AND IN
FAVOR OF LANDLORD, FOR ALL RENT DUE HEREUNDER PLUS COSTS AND AN ATTORNEY'S
COLLECTION COMMISSION EQUAL TO THE GREATER OF 10% OF ALL RENT OR $1,000,
FOR
WHICH THIS LEASE OR A TRUE AND CORRECT COPY HEREOF SHALL BE GOOD AND SUFFICIENT
WARRANT. TENANT UNDERSTANDS THAT THE FOREGOING PERMITS LANDLORD TO
ENTER A JUDGMENT AGAINST TENANT WITHOUT PRIOR NOTICE OR HEARING. ONCE
SUCH A JUDGMENT HAS BEEN ENTERED AGAINST TENANT, ONE OR MORE WRITS OF EXECUTION
OR WRITS OF GARNISHMENT MAY BE ISSUED THEREON WITHOUT FURTHER NOTICE TO TENANT
AND WITHOUT A HEARING, AND, PURSUANT TO SUCH WRITS, LANDLORD MAY CAUSE THE
SHERIFF OF THE COUNTY IN WHICH ANY PROPERTY OF TENANT IS LOCATED TO SEIZE
TENANT'S PROPERTY BY LEVY OR ATTACHMENT. IF THE JUDGMENT AGAINST
TENANT REMAINS UNPAID AFTER SUCH LEVY OR ATTACHMENT, LANDLORD CAN CAUSE SUCH
PROPERTY TO BE SOLD BY THE SHERIFF EXECUTING THE WRITS, OR, IF SUCH PROPERTY
CONSISTS OF A DEBT OWED TO TENANT BY ANOTHER ENTITY, LANDLORD CAN CAUSE SUCH
DEBT TO BE PAID DIRECTLY TO LANDLORD IN AN AMOUNT UP TO BUT NOT TO EXCEED
THE
AMOUNT OF THE JUDGMENT OBTAINED BY LANDLORD AGAINST TENANT, PLUS THE COSTS
OF
THE EXECUTION. SUCH AUTHORITY SHALL NOT BE EXHAUSTED BY ONE EXERCISE
THEREOF, BUT JUDGMENT MAY BE CONFESSED AS AFORESAID FROM TIME TO TIME AS
OFTEN
AS ANY OF THE RENT AND OTHER SUMS SHALL FALL DUE OR BE IN ARREARS, AND SUCH
POWERS MAY BE EXERCISED AS WELL AFTER THE EXPIRATION OF THE INITIAL TERM
OF THIS
LEASE AND DURING ANY EXTENDED OR RENEWAL TERM OF THIS LEASE AND AFTER THE
EXPIRATION OF ANY EXTENDED OR RENEWAL TERM OF THIS LEASE.
-22-
(vi) WHEN
THIS LEASE AND THE TERM OR ANY EXTENSION THEREOF SHALL HAVE BEEN TERMINATED
ON
ACCOUNT OF ANY EVENT OF DEFAULT BY TENANT, OR WHEN THE TERM OR ANY EXTENSION
THEREOF SHALL HAVE EXPIRED, TENANT HEREBY AUTHORIZES ANY ATTORNEY OF ANY
COURT
OF RECORD OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA TO APPEAR FOR TENANT AND FOR
ANYONE CLAIMING BY, THROUGH OR UNDER TENANT AND TO CONFESS JUDGMENT AGAINST
ALL
SUCH PARTIES, AND IN FAVOR OF LANDLORD, IN EJECTMENT AND FOR THE RECOVERY
OF
POSSESSION OF THE PREMISES, FOR WHICH THIS LEASE OR A TRUE AND CORRECT COPY
HEREOF SHALL BE GOOD AND SUFFICIENT WARRANT. AFTER THE ENTRY OF
ANY SUCH JUDGMENT A WRIT OF POSSESSION MAY BE ISSUED THEREON WITHOUT FURTHER
NOTICE TO TENANT AND WITHOUT A HEARING. IF FOR ANY REASON AFTER SUCH
ACTION SHALL HAVE BEEN COMMENCED IT SHALL BE DETERMINED AND POSSESSION OF
THE
PREMISES REMAIN IN OR BE RESTORED TO TENANT, LANDLORD SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT
FOR
THE SAME EVENT OF DEFAULT AND UPON ANY SUBSEQUENT EVENT OF DEFAULT(S) OR
UPON
THE TERMINATION OF THIS LEASE OR TENANT'S RIGHT OF POSSESSION AS HEREIN SET
FORTH, TO AGAIN CONFESS JUDGMENT AS HEREIN PROVIDED, FOR WHICH THIS LEASE
OR A
TRUE AND CORRECT COPY HEREOF SHALL BE GOOD AND SUFFICIENT
WARRANT.
(vii) THE
WARRANTS TO CONFESS JUDGMENT SET FORTH ABOVE SHALL CONTINUE IN FULL FORCE
AND
EFFECT AND BE UNAFFECTED BY AMENDMENTS TO THIS LEASE OR OTHER AGREEMENTS
BETWEEN
LANDLORD AND TENANT EVEN IF ANY SUCH AMENDMENTS OR OTHER AGREEMENTS INCREASE
TENANT'S OBLIGATIONS OR EXPAND THE SIZE OF THE PREMISES. TENANT
WAIVES ANY PROCEDURAL ERRORS IN CONNECTION WITH THE ENTRY OF ANY SUCH JUDGMENT
OR IN THE ISSUANCE OF ANY ONE OR MORE WRITS OF POSSESSION OR EXECUTION OR
GARNISHMENT THEREON.
(viii) TENANT
KNOWINGLY AND EXPRESSLY WAIVES (i) ANY RIGHT, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION,
UNDER ANY APPLICABLE STATUTE, WHICH TENANT MAY HAVE TO RECEIVE A NOTICE TO
QUIT
PRIOR TO LANDLORD COMMENCING AN ACTION FOR REPOSSESSION OF THE PREMISES AND
(ii)
ANY RIGHT WHICH TENANT MAY HAVE TO NOTICE AND TO HEARING PRIOR TO A LEVY
UPON OR
ATTACHMENT OF TENANT'S PROPERTY OR THEREAFTER.
Initials
on behalf of
Tenant: ____________
(c) Any
provision
to the contrary in this Section 22 notwithstanding, (i) Landlord shall not
be required to give Tenant the notice and opportunity to cure provided in
Subsection 22(a) above more than twice in any consecutive 12-month period,
and
thereafter Landlord may declare an Event of Default without affording Tenant
any
of the notice and cure rights provided under this Lease, and (ii) Landlord
shall
not be required to give such notice prior to exercising its rights under
Subsection 22(b) if Tenant fails to comply with the provisions of Sections
13,
18, 20 or 27, or in an emergency. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Landlord shall provide Tenant with additional written notice at least thirty
(30) days prior to exercising any confession of judgment against Tenant pursuant
to Sections 22(b)(v) - 22(b)(viii); provided, however, that if Landlord elects
to confess judgment for Rent and attorney fees pursuant to Section 22(b)(v)
without first accelerating the Rent, thereby requiring multiple confessions
of
judgment as Rent accrues, a single notice of such election delivered to Tenant
at least thirty (30) days prior to the first such exercise of the confession
of
judgment shall suffice, and no further notices shall be required for subsequent
confessions of judgment for Rent and attorney fees.
-23-
(d) No
waiver by
Landlord of any breach by Tenant shall be a waiver of any subsequent breach,
nor
shall any forbearance by Landlord to seek a remedy for any breach by Tenant
be a
waiver by Landlord of any rights and remedies with respect to such or any
subsequent breach. Efforts by Landlord to mitigate the damages caused
by Tenant's default shall not constitute a waiver of Landlord's right to
recover
damages hereunder. 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
other right or remedy given herein or now or hereafter existing at law or
in
equity. No payment by Tenant or receipt or acceptance by Landlord of
a lesser amount than the total amount due Landlord under this Lease shall
be
deemed to be other than on account, nor shall any endorsement or statement
on
any check or payment be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may
accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord's right to recover
the balance of Rent due, or Landlord's right to pursue any other available
remedy.
(e) (i) Tenant
shall
pay upon demand all costs and expenses, including the reasonable fees and
out-of-pocket expenses of counsel, agents and others retained by Landlord,
incurred in enforcing Tenant's obligations hereunder or incurred by Landlord
in
any litigation, negotiation or transaction in which Tenant causes Landlord
to
become involved. Landlord shall pay upon demand all costs and
expenses, including the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of counsel,
agents and others retained by Tenant, incurred in enforcing Landlord's
obligations hereunder or incurred by Tenant in any litigation, negotiation
or
transaction in which Landlord causes Tenant to become
involved. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of Landlord and Tenant
shall pay the fees of its own counsel in negotiating this Lease and any
amendment thereto or extension of the term thereof as well as any estoppel
certificate or subordination, non-disturbance and attornment
agreement.
(ii) If
either party
commences an action against the other party arising out of or in connection
with
this Lease, the prevailing party shall be entitled to have and recover from
the
losing party reasonable attorneys' fees, costs of suit, investigation expenses
and discovery costs, including costs of appeal.
(f) TENANT
HEREBY
AGREES TO THE JURISDICTION OF ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT LOCATED WITHIN THE
COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA, AND TENANT AGREES THAT ALL SERVICE OF PROCESS
MAY
BE MADE BY CERTIFIED MAIL DIRECTED TO TENANT, TO THE ATTENTION OF TENANT’S
GENERAL COUNSEL, AT TENANT'S ADDRESS SET FORTH ABOVE, AND SERVICE SO MADE
WILL
BE DEEMED TO BE COMPLETED AS PROVIDED IN SECTION
26, PROVIDED THAT NOTHING CONTAINED HEREIN
WILL PREVENT LANDLORD FROM BRINGING ANY ACTION OR EXERCISING ANY RIGHTS AGAINST
ANY SECURITY OR AGAINST TENANT INDIVIDUALLY, OR AGAINST ANY PROPERTY OF TENANT
WITHIN ANY OTHER STATE OR NATION TO ENFORCE ANY AWARD OR JUDGMENT OBTAINED
IN
THE VENUE PROVIDED ABOVE. TENANT WAIVES ANY OBJECTION TO VENUE AND
ANY OBJECTION BASED ON A MORE CONVENIENT FORUM IN ANY ACTION INSTITUTED HEREIN,
PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS HEREOF.
-24-
23. Tenant's
Authority. Tenant
represents and warrants to Landlord that if Tenant is a corporation, limited
liability company, partnership or any other form of business association
or
entity: (i) Tenant is duly formed, validly existing and in good
standing under the laws of the state under which Tenant is organized, (ii)
Tenant is qualified to do business in the state in which the Premises is
located, (iii) Tenant has the power and authority to enter into this Lease,
(iv)
the person(s) signing on behalf of Tenant are authorized to do so, and (v)
this
Lease constitutes a valid and binding obligation of Tenant enforceable in
accordance with its terms. At the time this Lease is executed, Tenant
shall provide Landlord with resolutions, a secretary’s certificate or other
documentation acceptable to Landlord evidencing that Tenant has the power
and
authority to enter into this Lease and that the person(s) signing on behalf
of
Tenant have the authority to bind Tenant.
24. Liability
of Landlord. The
word “Landlord” in this Lease includes the Landlord executing
this Lease as well as its successors and (subject to Section 18(d) above)
assigns, each of which shall have the same rights, remedies, powers, authorities
and privileges as it would have had it originally signed this Lease as
Landlord. Any such person or entity, whether or not named in this
Lease, shall have no liability under this Lease after it ceases to hold title
to
the Premises except for obligations already accrued (and, as to any unapplied
portion of Tenant's Security Deposit, Landlord shall be relieved of all
liability upon transfer of such portion to its successor in
interest). Tenant shall look solely to Landlord's successor in
interest for the performance of the covenants and obligations of the Landlord
hereunder which subsequently shall accrue. Landlord shall not be
deemed to be in default under this Lease unless Tenant gives Landlord written
notice specifying the nature of the default and Landlord fails to cure the
default within thirty (30) days following receipt of Tenant's written notice,
provided, however, if the default cannot reasonably be cured within thirty
(30)
days following Tenant's notice, Landlord shall be afforded additional reasonable
time to cure the default but only if Landlord begins to cure the default
within
thirty (30) days following Tenant's notice and continues diligently in good
faith to completely cure the default as promptly as reasonably
practicable. If Landlord does not cure a default within the
prescribed period, Tenant shall be entitled to cure the default on Landlord’s
behalf, and Landlord shall thereafter reimburse Tenant for Tenant’s reasonable
out of pocket costs incurred in curing such default. Such
reimbursement shall be paid by Landlord to Tenant within thirty (30) days
following Tenant’s delivery to Landlord of a written request therefor
accompanied by invoices and other documentation reasonably required by Landlord
evidencing such out of pocket costs. Tenant shall not be entitled to
set off any amounts owed by Landlord against Rent due hereunder. In
no event shall Landlord be liable to Tenant for any loss of business or profits
of Tenant or for consequential, punitive or special damages of any
kind. Neither Landlord nor any principal of Landlord nor any owner of
the Premises, whether disclosed or undisclosed, shall have any personal
liability with respect to any of the provisions of this Lease or the Premises;
Tenant shall look solely to the equity of Landlord in the Premises (and the
profits and proceeds resulting from any sale of the Premises) and any insurance
proceeds or condemnation awards or payments in lieu thereof with respect
to the
Premises for the satisfaction of any claim by Tenant against
Landlord.

25. Miscellaneous.
(a) The
captions
in this Lease are for convenience only, and are not a part of this Lease
and do
not in any way define, limit, describe or amplify the terms of this
Lease.
(b) This
Lease,
together with the Exhibits and Addenda attached hereto, and together with
those
certain indemnity agreements between Tenant and Landlord dated November 8,
2006,
March 6, 2007, April 12, 2007 and of even date herewith, represents the entire
agreement between the parties hereto and there are no collateral or oral
agreements, representations, warranties, conditions, promises or understandings
between Landlord and Tenant with respect to the Premises. No rights,
easements or licenses are acquired in the Premises or any land adjacent to
the
Premises by Tenant by implication or otherwise except as expressly set forth
in
this Lease. Without limiting the foregoing, this Lease does not grant
any easement or rights for light, air and view and any diminution or blockage
of
light, air and view by any structure or condition now or later erected will
not
affect this Lease or impose any liability on Landlord, except the limitations
on
use of the Brig Site set forth in Section 29(c). This Lease shall not
be modified in any manner except by an instrument in writing executed by
the
parties. The masculine (or neuter) pronoun and the singular number
shall include the masculine, feminine and neuter genders and the singular
and
plural number. The word “including” followed by any specific item(s)
is deemed to refer to examples rather than to be words of
limitation. The word “person” includes a natural person, a
partnership, a corporation, a limited liability company, an association and
any
other form of business association or entity. Both parties having
participated fully and equally in the negotiation and preparation of this
Lease,
this Lease shall not be more strictly construed, nor any ambiguities in this
Lease resolved, against either Landlord or Tenant.
(c) Each
covenant, agreement, obligation, term, condition or other provision contained
in
this Lease shall be deemed and construed as a separate and independent covenant
of the party bound by, undertaking or making the same, not dependent on any
other provision of this Lease unless otherwise expressly
provided. All of the terms and conditions set forth in this Lease
shall apply throughout the Term unless otherwise expressly set forth
herein.
(d) If
any
provisions of this Lease shall be declared unenforceable in any respect,
such
unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of this Lease, and
each
such provision shall be deemed to be modified, if possible, in such a manner
as
to render it enforceable and to preserve to the extent possible the intent
of
the parties as set forth herein. This Lease shall be construed and
enforced in accordance with the laws of Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania.
-26-
(e) Subject
to
Section 18(d), this Lease shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit
of
Landlord and its successors and assigns, and Tenant, and its permitted
successors and assigns.
(f) Landlord
shall not encumber the Premises with, or subject the Premises to, any
restrictions, covenants, conditions or easements that would diminish the
rights
granted to Tenant, or increase the obligations of Tenant, under this
Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall be permitted to
enter into such easements, covenants and restrictions with PAID and other
owners
of property in the Navy Yard as Landlord shall deem reasonably necessary
for the
operation of the Premises and other property in the Navy Yard, provided the
foregoing do not unreasonably interfere with Tenant’s Use of the Premises or
materially and adversely affect the appearance of the Premises.
(g) Tenant
shall
not record this Lease without Landlord’s prior written
consent. Following the satisfaction or waiver of all of the Lease
contingencies set forth in Section 30, Tenant may record a memorandum of
this
Lease in form reasonably acceptable to Landlord.
(h) This
Lease
may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which, taken together,
shall constitute one and the same instrument. Faxed or electronically
delivered signatures shall be enforceable as original signatures against
the
party delivering such signature.
(i) Landlord
represents and warrants to Tenant that this Lease has been duly authorized,
executed and delivered by Landlord. Landlord shall supply Tenant with
a secretary’s certificate, resolutions or other documentation acceptable to
Tenant that Landlord has the power and authority to enter into this Lease
and
that the persons signing on behalf of Landlord have the authority to bind
Landlord.
26. Notices. Any
notice or other communication under this Lease shall be in writing and addressed
to Landlord or Tenant at their respective addresses specified in Section
1 above
(or to such other address as either may designate by notice to the other)
with a
copy to any Mortgagee or other party designated by Landlord. Each
notice or other communication shall be deemed given if sent by prepaid overnight
delivery service or by certified mail, return receipt requested, postage
prepaid, with delivery in any case evidenced by a receipt, and shall be deemed
received on the day of actual receipt by the intended recipient or on the
Business Day delivery is refused. The giving of notice by Landlord's
or Tenant's attorneys, representatives and agents under this Section shall
be
deemed to be the acts of Landlord or Tenant, as applicable; however, the
foregoing provisions governing the date on which a notice is deemed to have
been
received shall mean and refer to the date on which a party to this Lease,
and
not its counsel or other recipient to which a copy of the notice may be sent,
is
deemed to have received the notice.
27. Security
Deposit.
(a) As
additional
security for the full and prompt performance by Tenant of the terms and
covenants of this Lease, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, within five (5)
Business Days after the Effective Date, an irrevocable negotiable letter
of
credit (an “LC”), issued by a bank acceptable to Landlord,
having a banking office in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in form and content
reasonably acceptable to Landlord, for the benefit of Landlord, in the sum
of
Eight Million and 00/100 Dollars ($8,000,000.00) (the “Security
Deposit”). The LC shall provide that (provided the other
conditions set forth therein for a draw upon the LC have been met): (i) from
and
after the Effective Date until December 31, 2007, Landlord may draw up to
One
Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) against the LC, (ii) from and after January
1,
2008, until June 30, 2008, Landlord may draw up to Two Million Six Hundred
Thousand Dollars ($2,600,000.00) against the LC, (iii) from and after July
1,
2008, until December 31, 2008, Landlord may draw up to Three Million Five
Hundred Thousand Dollars ($3,500,000.00) against the LC, and (iv) from and
after
January 1, 2009, Landlord may draw up to Eight Million Dollars ($8,000,000.00)
against the LC. The provisions of the immediately preceding sentence
are referred to herein as the “LC Draw Cap”. Such LC
shall have a term covering the entire Term of the Lease and shall expire
not
less than sixty (60) days after the expiration of the Term of the
Lease. The parties also acknowledge that the LC also secures Tenant’s
performance under the Improvements Agreement.
-27-
(b) Tenant
shall
not be entitled to reduce the face amount of the LC without Landlord’s prior
consent in each instance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon
Tenant’s written request for a reduction of the face amount of the LC (which
shall be required for each desired reduction) if, as of the effective date
of
the desired reduction (i) no Event of Default then exists, (ii) no condition
then exists that, with the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both,
would constitute an Event of Default, (iii) Landlord has not issued a notice
of
default, respecting a material default, to Tenant more than once in the
preceding twenty four (24) month period, and (iv) Tenant has shareholder
equity
of not less than $48,000,000.00 (determined in accordance with the methodology
used to underwrite Tenant’s creditworthiness at the commencement of the
transactions contemplated under this Lease), then in such event Landlord’s
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed as to
the
reduction of the face amount of the LC to the amounts, and as of the dates,
set
forth in the amortization schedule below:

(c) Tenant's
failure to keep the LC in place for the hereinabove agreed amounts during
the
entire Term of this Lease, and for at least sixty (60) days after the expiration
of the Term of this Lease shall constitute an Event of Default under this
Lease
and Landlord shall be entitled, without notice, to present the LC for
payment. Landlord shall be entitled, without notice, to present the
LC for payment (i) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event
of
Default under this Lease (including any holdover), or (ii) if the term of
the LC
is to expire prior to the period specified above and Tenant does not cause
the
term to be extended, or a new LC issued (from an acceptable bank and in a
form
as specified above), at least thirty (30) days prior to such
expiration. In the event the LC is presented for payment, Landlord
may apply the proceeds on account of the Event of Default to the cure of
any
Event of Default by Tenant under this Lease. If the LC has been
converted into a cash Security Deposit or has been drawn upon in connection
with
a default under the Improvements Agreement, Tenant shall, upon demand, restore
any portion of the Security Deposit which may be applied by Landlord to the
cure
of any default by Tenant under this Lease or under the Improvements
Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this
Paragraph, to the extent that Landlord has not applied any portion of the
Security Deposit on account of a default under this Lease or the Improvements
Agreement, the remaining Security Deposit (after Tenant has made all payments
to
Landlord pursuant to the provisions of this Lease) shall be returned to Tenant
promptly after the expiration of this Lease and the full performance of Tenant
hereunder and under the Improvements Agreement. Until returned to
Tenant after the expiration of the Lease and the full performance of Tenant
hereunder and under the Improvements Agreement (including, without limitation,
any payment due by Tenant as a result of a reconciliation of Tenant's Additional
Rent obligations), the Security Deposit shall remain the property of
Landlord.
(d) Notwithstanding
the
foregoing, Tenant may initially satisfy the aforementioned requirement to
deliver the LC by delivering to Landlord within five (5) Business Days after
the
Effective Date an LC in the face amount of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00)
substantially in the form of Exhibit “M-1” attached hereto,
issued by PNC Bank, N.A., naming Landlord as the beneficiary and containing
other terms reasonably acceptable to Landlord (the “Interim
LC”); provided that Tenant replaces the Interim LC on or before July
30, 2007, with a new LC that complies with all of the terms of this Section
27
and is in the form of Exhibit “M-2” attached hereto (the
“Final LC”).
28. Brokers. Tenant
represents and warrants to Landlord that Broker is the only broker or finder
that Tenant had any dealings, negotiations or consultations with relating
to the
Premises or this Lease and that no other broker or finder called the Premises
to
Tenant's attention for Lease or took any part in any dealings, negotiations
or
consultations relating to the Premises or this Lease. Absent an
express written agreement to the contrary with Landlord, neither Broker nor
any
other agent or broker retained by Tenant, whether retained at or before the
Effective Date or at any time thereafter, shall be entitled to any commission
upon any renewal or extension of this Lease or any expansion of the
Premises. Tenant agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless
Landlord from and against all costs, fees (including, without limitation,
reasonable attorney's fees), expenses, liabilities and claims incurred or
suffered by Landlord arising from any breach by Tenant of Tenant's
representation and warranty in this Section 28. Landlord represents
and warrants that it has not engaged or dealt with any broker in connection
with
this Lease other than the Broker and Landlord agrees to indemnify, defend
and
hold Tenant harmless from and against all costs, fees (including, without
limitation, reasonable attorney's fees), expenses, liabilities and claims
incurred or suffered by Tenant arising from any breach by Landlord of
Landlord’s representation and warranty in this Section 28. Landlord
shall be responsible for any and all commissions owing to the Broker in
connection with this Lease, which arrangement shall be set forth in a separate
written agreement between Landlord and Broker.
-29-
29. Landlord’s
Work; Tenant Finish Work; Brig Site.
(a) The
Landlord's Work shall be constructed by Landlord in accordance with the
provisions of Exhibit “D” attached hereto and made a part
hereof. On the Effective Date, Landlord shall cause Liberty Property
Limited Partnership to execute a completion guaranty for the Landlord's Work
in
the form of Exhibit “J” attached hereto.
(b) The
Tenant
Finish Work shall be constructed by Tenant and shall also be governed by
the
provisions of Exhibit “D” attached hereto and made a part
hereof. Landlord and Tenant agree that the Tenant Finish Work
(including without limitation erection, construction and/or alteration) is
a
permissive improvement requested by and for the immediate use and benefit
of
Tenant, not Landlord, irrespective of legal ownership of the completed
work.
(c) Prior
to the
Commencement Date, Landlord shall cause (i) the existing buildings located
on
the portion of the Navy Yard known as Xxxxxx Point and containing the former
U.S. Navy brig (the “Brig Site”) to be razed, and (ii) the Brig
Site to be graded and improvements thereon executed in a manner adequate
to
prevent material adverse impact to the Premises from storm water runoff from
the
Brig Site. So long as the Brig Site is owned by Landlord or its
Affiliate, Landlord shall cause the owner thereof to (A) lease the Brig Site
only to lawful users thereof, (B) make commercially reasonable efforts to
cause
improvements on the Brig Site not to materially hinder natural light to the
Premises and to prevent the emission from the Brig Site of offensive or noxious
odors, effluents, fumes, dust or ashes in a manner that adversely impacts
on
Tenant’s use and enjoyment of the Premises, and (C) not permit any manufacturer
of pre-packaged sweet snack cakes to display signage at the Brig Site, other
than suite entry signage.
(d) Landlord
shall make all commercially reasonable effort to cause the completion of
certain
improvements to 00xx Xxxxxx between Xxxxxxx Avenue and Xxxxxxx Avenue prior
to
the Commencement Date. Preliminary design documents and graphical
concept drawings for such work are attached hereto as Exhibit
“G”.
-30-
(e) The
parties
acknowledge that Landlord intends to seek certain funding from the Pennsylvania
Department of Transportation under its Capital Budget Rail Freight Assistance
(“CBRFA”) program and under its Rail Freight Assistance
(“RFA”) program in connection with certain railroad
improvements that will benefit the Premises. The CBRFA program
requires that Landlord provide matching funds equal to thirty (30%) of the
CBRFA
funds. Landlord had previously budgeted $500,000.00 for this
purpose. Because of recent modifications to the design and location
of the Building on the Land, it is possible (although as yet unconfirmed)
that
the matching funds required to be contributed by Landlord may be less than
$500,000.00. In the event that the matching funds required to be
contributed by Landlord are less than $500,000.00, then the savings obtained
by
Landlord shall result in a reduction in the Minimum Annual Rent for each
Lease
Year equal to eight and one-quarter cents ($0.0825) for each dollar of
savings.
30. Lease
Contingencies.
(a) Landlord
has
advised Tenant that, as of the Effective Date, the Land is owned by the
Philadelphia Authority for Industrial Development (“PAID”) and
that Landlord anticipates entering into a Sales and Development Agreement
with
PAID (the “Agreement of Sale”) which shall set forth, among
other things, (i) PAID’s agreement to sell, and Landlord's agreement to
purchase, the Land, (ii) PAID’s agreement to sell, and Landlord’s agreement to
purchase, the Brig Site, and (iii) the agreement by PAID and Landlord to
enter
into a reciprocal easement agreement to provide for, among other things,
access
rights for Landlord and Tenant to and from the Land and the Brig Site across
the
Navy Yard and portions thereof, utility services across adjacent lands of
the
City of Philadelphia and the payment of common area maintenance by Landlord
for
such access and utility rights. Accordingly, Landlord may terminate
this Lease if the Agreement of Sale is not fully executed by PAID and Landlord
on or before the date that is sixty (60) days after the Effective
Date.

terminate this Lease if Tenant shall not have delivered the Interim LC to
Landlord, as contemplated in Section 27, within five (5) Business Days after

Landlord, as contemplated in Section 27, on or before July 30,
2007.

the Effective Date, Landlord (or Landlord’s Affiliate) and Tenant have not
entered into a lease for approximately 35,000 square feet of office space
in an
office building to be constructed by an Affiliate of Landlord in the Navy
Yard
and commonly known as Three Crescent Drive;

(ii) The
Project
shall have received all approvals of the City Council of Philadelphia (including
the passage of any applicable city ordinance) and the board of directors
of PAID
required to obtain the RACP grant;
(iii) PAID
or PIDC shall have received memoranda from each of the four Commonwealth
of
Pennsylvania caucuses (House Democratic Caucus, House Republican Caucus,
Senate
Democratic Caucus and Senate Republican Caucus) committing the caucuses to
fund
an aggregate of not less than $2,000,000.00 toward the RACP grant;
(iv) PAID
or PIDC shall have received an executed grant agreement from the Commonwealth

(ix) All
other
conditions to Landlord’s acquisition of the Land and the Brig Site under the
Agreement of Sale (other than subdivision and zoning approval and other matters
described in the Agreement of Sale which, by their nature, can not be, and
were
not anticipated to be, satisfied by June 30, 2007) shall have been satisfied
or
waived by PAID.
(f) Landlord
or
Tenant may terminate this Lease if any of the following do not occur by June
30,
2007:
-32-
(i) Tenant

to
Tenant in the aggregate under the Commonwealth’s Machinery and Equipment Loan

(iv) Tenant,
Tenant’s lenders and PAID shall have entered into an intercreditor agreement
acceptable to the parties thereto, unless the requirement for such agreement

(g) Landlord
or
Tenant may terminate this Lease if, by July 30, 2007, Tenant shall not have

and after June 30, 2007 and prior to July 30, 2007 that the aforementioned
credit facility is unlikely to close, Tenant may terminate this
Lease.
(h) Landlord
shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to cause the conditions in
Sections 30(a), 30(d) and 30(e) to be satisfied. Tenant shall use all
commercially reasonable efforts to cause the conditions in Sections 30(b),
30(c), 30(d), 30(f) and 30(g) to be satisfied, and shall use all commercially
reasonable efforts to satisfy all conditions to closing set forth in the
commitment letters and other instruments referenced in Section
30(f). If any of the funding conditions described in Sections 30(e)
and/or 30(f) are not satisfied by June 30, 2007, then subject to the approval
of
PAID, Tenant may (but shall not be obligated to) satisfy such condition by
either (i) delivering (or causing to be delivered) to Landlord or Tenant,
as the
case maybe, funds, or evidence of alternative funding sources reasonably
acceptable to Landlord, Tenant and PAID, in an amount equal to the funds
contemplated by the unsatisfied conditions, or (ii) providing corresponding
changes in the scope of the Landlord’s Work that result in a reduction in the
Hard Costs and Soft Costs of Landlord’s Work equal to the funds contemplated by
the unsatisfied conditions. If either Landlord or Tenant elects to
Terminate this Lease in accordance with the terms of this Section 30, the
party
electing to so terminate shall deliver written notice thereof to the other
party
within ten (10) Business Days after the expiration of the date upon which
the
condition in question was to have been satisfied (as set forth
above). The failure to deliver such notice of termination within the
time period specified shall constitute a waiver of the right to so
terminate. Following a termination of this Lease pursuant to this
Section 30, the parties shall have no further liability or obligation to
the
other except for any liabilities or obligations that are expressly provided
herein to survive such termination, including without limitation Section
30(i)
below.
(i) Notwithstanding
the
foregoing, if this Lease is terminated pursuant to this Section 30, Tenant
hereby indemnifies Landlord against, and shall reimburse Landlord for (i)
all
Hard Costs and Soft Costs of the Landlord’s Work incurred by Landlord through
the date of the termination, (ii) all Hard Costs and Soft Costs of any work
which has commenced at, or (to the extent relating to the Landlord’s Work) in
the vicinity of, the Premises and which is required to be completed after
the
date of the termination by requirement of PAID, any regulatory body, or other
law, code or ordinance, including without limitation the demolition of the
existing improvements on the Premises. All sums payable by Tenant to
Landlord pursuant to this Section 30(i) shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord
within ten (10) days after the termination of this Lease. For the
avoidance of doubt, the parties hereby confirm that (A) as of the Effective
Date, Landlord has incurred Hard Cost and Soft Costs of Landlord’s Work of
$518,620.00 (which includes Landlord’s obligation to reimburse PAID for amounts
owed by PAID to PECO), and (B) it is contemplated that between the Effective
Date and June 30, 2007, Landlord will incur additional Hard Costs and Soft
Costs
of Landlord’s Work of approximately $2,600,000.00 (for an aggregate total as of
June 30, 2007 of approximately $3,118,620) and that substantial additional
cost
will be incurred between June 30, 2007 and July 30, 2007. The parties
further confirm that the dollar amounts set forth in clause (B) above are
estimates only and do not include additional costs that may be incurred to
complete work that has been commenced and must be completed despite the
termination of the Lease, as contemplated in clause (ii) above or costs to
be
incurred after June 30, 2007. Failure of Tenant to promptly reimburse
Landlord in accordance with this Section 30(i) shall, in addition to all
other
remedies available hereunder, at law or in equity, entitle Landlord to draw
the
amount owed against the LC, subject to the LC Draw Cap. If Landlord
receives reimbursements, rebates or discounts from governmental authorities
or
other sources for amounts payable or previously paid by Tenant under this
indemnity, such funds shall be deducted from the amount due under this indemnity
or promptly reimbursed to Tenant. This Section 30(i) shall survive
any termination of the Lease.
-33-
31. Keystone
Opportunity Zone Provisions. The
parties acknowledge that the Premises is located within a Keystone Opportunity
Improvement Zone, and Tenant hereby covenants to comply with the requirements
governing the use and occupancy of property located within a Keystone
Opportunity Improvement Zone under applicable provisions of Pennsylvania
law
during the entire Term of this Lease and agrees that such compliance shall
be
the sole responsibility of Tenant and that Landlord shall have no responsibility
or liability therefor. To the extent that certain filings with
applicable authorities in connection with the Keystone Opportunity Improvement
Zone are required by law to be made by Landlord and not Tenant, Landlord
agrees
to timely make such filings.
32. Expansion
Right.
(a) Provided
that
Tenant is not then in default of this Lease and an Event of Default has not
occurred within the twelve (12) months prior to Tenant’s exercise of this
expansion right, Tenant shall have the right, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense,
to expand the Building in a manner consistent with the expansion premises
depicted on Exhibit “D-6”. If Tenant desires to
expand the Building, Tenant shall notify Landlord thereof in writing, and
Landlord and Tenant shall meet to discuss the expansion and the possibility
of
Landlord’s involvement therein. Landlord shall have the right, but
not the obligation, to construct the expansion, to manage or otherwise oversee
such construction, and/or to provide financing to Tenant for such construction,
all on terms mutually acceptable to the parties. If Landlord declines
to provide any of the services described in the preceding sentence, Tenant
shall
be free to engage its own professionals and arrange its own financing, subject
to Subparagraph (b) below, with respect to the services that Landlord has
declined to provide.
-34-
(b) The
design
and construction of the expansion shall be subject to Landlord’s approval and
shall be undertaken in accordance with the provisions of Exhibit
“D” relating to the Tenant Finish Work, including the methods
for the
development and approval of final construction documents and the selection
of
contractors, architects and other professionals. The expansion shall
be constructed with new materials, in a good and workmanlike manner, and
in
compliance with all Laws and the plans and specifications delivered to and
approved by Landlord. To the extent the proposed expansion (i) has
the same footprint as identified on Exhibit “D-2”, (ii) has the
same floor plan as identified on Exhibit “D-6” (iii) has
similar bay sizing, interior clear height and exterior cladding as the original
Building, (iv) includes an acceptable (as determined by Landlord) number
of 9
foot by 10 foot knock-out panels, (v) has the same structural characteristics
as
the primary Building, and (vi) provides for footings along the western wall
capable of supporting 4 foot high dock loading, Landlord’s approval shall
not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delay. Tenant shall
reimburse Landlord for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by
Landlord in connection with any review of Tenant's plans and specifications
by
architects, engineers or other professional consultants retained by
Landlord. Tenant shall, prior to commencing any expansion, provide
Landlord with evidence reasonably satisfactory to Landlord of Tenant's ability
to pay for the expansion. The landscaping, core and shell portions of
the improvements constructed as part of the expansion shall, once completed,
be
treated as part of the Base Building Work and shall belong to
Landlord. The remaining portions of such improvements, once
completed, shall be treated as part of the Tenant Improvements and shall
belong
to Tenant for the Term of this Lease. Unless otherwise agreed in
writing by the parties (as, for example, where Landlord agrees to provide
financing to Tenant for the expansion or agrees to undertake the construction
of
the expansion) there shall be no increase in the Minimum Annual Rent resulting
from Tenant’s expansion of the Building. Landlord and Tenant agree
that the expansion work (including without limitation erection, construction
and/or alteration), if Tenant exercises its expansion right, is a permissive
improvement requested by and for the immediate use and benefit of Tenant,
not
Landlord, irrespective of legal ownership of the completed work.
(c) The
expansion
right set forth in this Section 32 is personal to Tasty Baking Company and
shall
not survive any Transfer of all or any part of Tasty Baking Company’s interest
in this Lease except to an Affiliate of Tasty Baking Company, and upon any
such
non-Affiliate Transfer this expansion right shall become void.
33. Right
of
First Offer to Purchase.
(a) If
at any
time during the Term of this Lease, except as set forth in subsections (b)
and
(c) below, Landlord desires to sell the Premises, Landlord agrees to notify
Tenant in writing of such desire and the price (the “ROFO
Price”) and other terms at which Landlord so desires to sell the
Premises. Tenant shall advise Landlord within 30 days after receiving
such notice if Tenant is interested in purchasing the Premises for the ROFO
Price and such other terms. If Tenant fails to respond within such
time period and/or if Tenant responds that Tenant is not interested in
purchasing the Premises, then Tenant shall have no further right hereunder
to
purchase the Premises under the terms set forth in Landlord’s
notice. However, if Tenant notifies Landlord within such time period
that Tenant is interested in purchasing the Premises at the ROFO Price and
upon
such other terms, then Landlord and Tenant shall have 30 days following
Landlord’s receipt of such notice from Tenant within which to negotiate and
execute a mutually satisfactory agreement for the sale of the Premises to
Tenant.
-35-
(i) In
the event
that Landlord and Tenant fail to enter into an agreement of sale and purchase
within such 30 days, then Tenant shall have no further right hereunder to
purchase the Premises with respect to such offer, subject to the balance
of this
paragraph. Thereafter, Landlord may negotiate with any third party
for the sale and purchase of the Premises; provided, however, that Landlord
will
not finally enter into an agreement of sale with any third party for a purchase
price that is less than 95% of the ROFO Price (or, if the Premises is to
be sold
as part of a portfolio or package transaction that includes one or more other
properties owned by Landlord or its Affiliates, for a purchase price that
is
less than 90% of the ROFO Price), or on terms materially less favorable to
Landlord than those offered to Tenant with the ROFO Price, unless Landlord
first
allows Tenant 5 Business Days within which to agree to purchase the Premises
at
such lesser price or more favorable terms. If Tenant notifies
Landlord of its desire to purchase the Premises at such lesser price within
such
5 business day period, the procedure for the negotiation of a mutually
acceptable agreement of sale and purchase set forth in Subsection (a) above
shall begin again.
(ii) If
Landlord
and Tenant enter into an agreement of sale and purchase but transfer of the
Premises to Tenant is not consummated for any reason other than Landlord’s
default under such agreement of sale and purchase, then Tenant shall have
no
further right hereunder to purchase the Premises and this Section 33 shall
be
void.
(b) Tenant’s
right of first offer set forth above shall not apply to (i) any transfer
of the
Premises in mortgage foreclosure, by deed in lieu of foreclosure or as part
of a
settlement with the mortgagee, (ii) a Taking or transfer by deed in lieu
of
Taking, (iii) any transfer of the Premises to an Affiliate of Landlord, (iv)
any
transfer of the Premises to a joint venture in which Landlord or its Affiliate
holds a material interest and for which Landlord or its Affiliate serves
as
general partner, managing member or developer (pursuant to the terms of the
joint venture agreement or a separate management or development agreement),
or
(v) a transfer in connection with a sale of all or substantially all of
Landlord’s assets. In the case of any of the circumstances described
in clauses (i)-(v) of the immediately preceding sentence, Tenant shall have
no
rights relating to the purchase of the Premises. Except as otherwise
set forth herein, Tenant’s right of first offer shall survive the conveyance of
the Premises by Landlord, unless such conveyance is made after foreclosure
(including by deed in lieu of foreclosure) or a Taking (including a deed
in lieu
of Taking).
(c) Landlord
shall have no obligation to notify Tenant of Landlord’s intention to sell and
Tenant shall have no right to purchase the Premises (or any portion thereof)
at
any time during which Tenant is in default under any of the provisions of
this
Lease beyond any applicable notice and cure period. The right of
first offer set forth in this Section 32 shall terminate automatically if
at any
time during the Term, including without limitation at any time after Landlord
and Tenant enter into an agreement of sale and purchase for the Premises,
an
Event of Default under Section 22(a)(i) occurs two (2) times in any twelve
(12)
month period; in which event this Section 32 shall be deemed null and void
and
of no further force or effect. In addition, Tenant’s right of first
offer shall terminate automatically if Tenant Transfers this Lease (as described
in Section 18) to any party other than to an Affiliate of Tasty Baking Company,
or if the Premises is wholly or partially destroyed by casualty or taken
by a
condemnation or otherwise for any public purpose or quasi-public
use.
-36-
(d) From
the time
of Tenant's exercise of its right to purchase the Premises as aforesaid until
the closing of the conveyance of the Premises to Tenant, Tenant and Landlord
shall continue to enjoy and be bound by all of their respective rights and
obligations under this Lease, including the obligation of Tenant to pay Rent
as
required herein through the date of such conveyance.
34. Leasehold
Mortgagees.
(a) Tenant
shall
have the right to mortgage this Lease, subject, however, to the limitations
of
this Section 34. Any such leasehold mortgage (a “Leasehold
Mortgage”) shall be subject and subordinate to the rights of Landlord
under this Lease and any mortgage or other encumbrance now or hereafter
encumbering the Building or Landlord's interest in the Building, and shall
be
subject to the mutual execution of an intercreditor agreement between such
Leasehold Mortgagee and the holder of the senior mortgage upon Landlord's
fee
estate from time to time. The form of Leasehold Mortgage shall be

withheld, conditioned or delayed. Tenant shall provide Landlord with
any proposed Leasehold Mortgage no less than thirty (30) days before the
date
upon which Tenant intends to grant such Leasehold Mortgage.
(b) No
holder of
a Leasehold Mortgage (a “Leasehold Mortgagee”) shall have the
rights or benefits mentioned in this Section 34, nor shall the provisions
of
this Section be binding upon Landlord, unless and until the name and address
of
the Leasehold Mortgagee shall have been delivered to Landlord in accordance
with
Section 26 of this Lease, notwithstanding any other form of notice, actual
or
constructive.
(c) If
Tenant
shall mortgage this Lease in compliance with the provisions of this Section
30,
then the following provisions shall apply until the earlier of (x) the
satisfaction of the Leasehold Mortgage of record, (y) Landlord's receipt
of
notice from Tenant or Leasehold Mortgagee that Tenant has satisfied the terms
of
the Leasehold Mortgage, or (z) the termination of this Lease:
(i) Landlord,
upon serving upon Tenant any notice of default pursuant to this Lease, shall
also serve a copy of such notice upon the Leasehold Mortgagee, at the address
provided to Landlord in accordance with this Section.
(ii) If
Tenant
fails to comply with the terms and conditions of this Lease, Leasehold Mortgagee
shall have the right to remedy such failures, or cause the same to be remedied,
within a reasonable period of time (not to exceed thirty (30) days beyond
Tenant’s original cure period) if Tenant has failed to remedy such failure
within the time period granted to Tenant under this Lease, and Landlord shall
accept such performance by or at the instance of such Leasehold Mortgagee
as if
the same had been made by Tenant. No termination of this Lease shall
be binding on any Leasehold Mortgagee unless effected in compliance with
the
terms and conditions of the Leasehold Mortgage.
-37-
(iii) Any
notice or
other communication which Landlord shall desire or is required to give to
or
serve upon the Leasehold Mortgagee shall be in writing and shall be served
by
registered mail, or by a nationally recognized overnight courier service
with
guaranteed next business day delivery, addressed to such Leasehold Mortgagee
at
the address provided to Landlord in accordance with this Section 34, or at
such
other address as shall be designated by such Leasehold Mortgagee by notice
in
writing given to Landlord in accordance with Section 26 of this
Lease. Notices shall be deemed to have been given upon the earlier of
actual receipt or three (3) business days after posting in the United States
mail or one (1) business day after deposit with a nationally recognized
overnight courier service. Any notice or other communication which
the Leasehold Mortgagee shall desire or is required to give to or serve upon
Landlord shall be delivered in accordance with Section 26 of this
Lease.
(iv) Anything
herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, the provisions of this
Section
34(c) shall inure only to the benefit of the Leasehold
Mortgagee. Tenant shall not grant more than one Leasehold Mortgage at
one time.
(d) Within
ten
(10) days after the satisfaction of the Leasehold Mortgage, Tenant shall
notify
Landlord of such satisfaction and Tenant shall cause a release of such Leasehold
Mortgage to be recorded in the appropriate recorder's office. Tenant
shall deliver a copy of any such release to Landlord promptly after
recording. At least ten (10) days prior to the Expiration Date, or,
if the Lease is terminated prior to the Expiration Date, within two (2) business
days after the termination of this Lease, Tenant shall cause a release of
the
Leasehold Mortgage to be recorded in the appropriate recorder’s
office. This Section 34(d) shall survive the expiration or earlier
termination of this Lease.
