If any amount due from Tenant is not paid to Landlord when due, Tenant shall also pay as Additional Rent a late fee of five percent (5%) of the total payment then due. The late fee shall accrue on the initial date of a payment’s due date, irrespective of any grace period granted hereunder; provided however, Landlord shall forgive such late fee due from Tenant up to twice per calendar year if the Tenant makes the required payment within three (3) days. The late fee shall accrue on the initial date of a payment’s due date, irrespective of any grace period granted hereunder.   Tenant shall pay to Landlord all sales, use, transaction privilege, gross receipts, or other excise tax that may at any time be levied or imposed upon, or measured by, any amount payable by Tenant under this Lease.

(b) Tenant shall be required to pay a security deposit of $10,672.75 under this Lease ("Security Deposit"), as security for the prompt and complete performance by Tenant of every provision of this Lease. No interest shall be paid to Tenant on the Security Deposit.

The use of the Security Deposit by Landlord shall not prevent Landlord from exercising any other remedy provided by this Lease or by law and shall not operate as either liquidated damages or as a limitation on any recovery to which Landlord may otherwise be entitled. If any portion of the Security Deposit is used, applied or retained by Landlord, Tenant agrees, within five (5) business days after the written demand therefor is made by Landlord, to deposit cash with the Landlord in an amount sufficient to restore the Security Deposit to its original amount. Provided Tenant shall have fully complied with all of the provisions of this Lease, including payment of its Rent obligations, the Security Deposit, or any balance thereof, shall be returned to Tenant within thirty (30) days after the later of expiration of the Term, Tenant’s surrender of the Premises, payment of all Rent due hereunder, and satisfaction of the conditions set forth herein.

including special assessments for public improvements or traffic districts which are levied or assessed against the Project during the Term or, if levied or assessed prior to the Term, which properly are allocable to the Term, and real estate tax appeal expenditures incurred by Landlord to the extent of any reduction resulting thereby. Nothing herein contained shall be construed to include as Taxes: (i) any inheritance, estate, succession, transfer, gift, franchise, corporation, net income or profit tax or capital levy that is or may be imposed upon Landlord or (ii) any transfer tax or recording charge resulting from a transfer of the Building or the Project or any interest in the Building or Project; provided, however, that if at any time during the Term the method of taxation prevailing at the Commencement Date shall be altered so that in lieu of or as a substitute for the whole or any part of the taxes now levied, assessed or imposed on real estate as such there shall be levied, assessed or imposed: (A) a tax on the rents received from such real estate, (B) a license fee measured by the rents receivable by Landlord from the Premises or any portion thereof, or (C) a tax or license fee imposed upon Premises or any portion thereof, then the same shall be included in the computation of Taxes hereunder.  Tenant shall pay all personal property taxes, income taxes and other taxes, assessments, duties, impositions and similar charges which are or may be assessed, levied or imposed upon Tenant and which, if not paid, could be liened against the Premises or against Tenant's property therein or against Tenant's leasehold estate.

(iv) “Janitorial Costs” are defined as all costs associated with trash and garbage removal and recycling and cleaning and sanitizing the Building and those costs associated with the items of work set forth in Exhibit “C” attached hereto, but excluding costs that are properly chargeable to particular tenants in the Project, including, without limitation, services provided to particular tenants in the Project that are not provided to all tenants of the Project.

(v) Collectively, Operating Expenses, Taxes, and Janitorial Costs shall be referred to as “Recognized Expenses.” Each of the Recognized Expenses, all charges for all utilities as set forth in Section 5 below and all other amounts due to Landlord from Tenant as provided herein (excluding only Fixed Rent) shall for all purposes herein be considered “Additional Rent”.

(c) Commencing January 1, 2016 and on the first (1st) day of each month thereafter during the Term, Tenant shall pay, in monthly installments in advance, on account of Tenant's Share of Recognized Expenses, one-twelfth (1/12th) of the estimated amount of the increase of such Recognized Expenses for such year in excess of the Base Year. Prior to the end of the calendar year in which the Lease commences and thereafter for each successive calendar year (each, a "Lease Year"), or part thereof, Landlord shall send to Tenant a statement of projected increases in such Recognized Expenses in excess of the Base Year, and shall indicate what Tenant's Share of such Recognized Expenses shall be. The Base Year shall be adjusted (i) to exclude from the Base Year "extraordinary items" incurred in such calendar year, (ii) to reflect the Building being 95% occupied (as contemplated by subsection (e) below), and (iii) to reflect a full assessment for Taxes. For purposes of this subparagraph, extraordinary items shall mean either (i) cost increases or decreases over the prior calendar year of eleven and one quarter percent (11.25%) or more with respect to certain on-going line items, or (ii) items which increase Landlord’s total expenses and such items have not been included in the determination of expenses by the Landlord (or the Landlord’s predecessor in interest) for the prior three years of operating the Building. When administratively available (but not later than June 30 of each year), Landlord shall send to Tenant a statement of actual Recognized Expenses for the prior Lease Year and showing the Tenant’s Share due from or owed to Tenant, which statement shall include such detail as may be reasonably required to support Landlord’s calculation of actual Recognized Expenses.  In the event the amount prepaid by Tenant exceeds the amount that was actually due then Landlord shall issue a credit to Tenant in an amount equal to the over charge, which credit Tenant may apply to future payments on account of such Recognized Expenses until Tenant has been fully credited with the over charge. If the credit due to Tenant is more than the aggregate total of future rental payments, Landlord shall pay to Tenant the difference between the credit and such aggregate total within thirty (30) days of such statement. In the event Landlord has undercharged Tenant, then Landlord shall send Tenant an invoice with the additional amount due, which amount shall be paid in full by Tenant within thirty (30) days of receipt. This subsection shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease.

(d) If during the course of any Lease Year, Landlord shall have reason to believe that the Recognized Expenses shall be different than that upon which the aforesaid projections were originally based, then Landlord, shall be entitled to adjust the amount by reallocating the remaining payments for such year, for the months of the Lease Year which remain for the revised projections, and to advise Tenant of an adjustment in future monthly amounts to the end result that the Recognized Expenses shall be collected on a reasonably current basis each Lease

5

 


 

 

Year.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall not adjust Tenant’s estimated payments more than one (1) time per calendar year.

(e) In calculating the Recognized Expenses as hereinbefore described (including Recognized Expenses for the Base Year), if for thirty (30) or more days during the preceding Lease Year less than ninety-five percent (95%) of the rentable area of the Building shall have been occupied by tenants, then the Recognized Expenses shall be deemed for such Lease Year to be amounts equal to the Recognized Expenses which would normally be expected to be incurred had such occupancy of the Building been at least ninety-five percent (95%) throughout such year, as reasonably determined by Landlord (i.e., taking into account that certain expenses depend on occupancy and certain expenses do not (e.g., landscaping)). Furthermore, if Landlord shall not furnish any item or items of Recognized Expenses to any portions of the Building which are or could be occupied by tenants because such portions are not occupied or because such item is not required by the tenant of such portion of the Building, for the purposes of computing Recognized Expenses, an equitable adjustment shall be made so that the item of Operating Expense in question shall be shared only by tenants actually receiving the benefits thereof.

(f) If any of the Recognized Expenses are shared jointly between or among the Building and other building(s) in the Project, such costs shall be allocated proportionately between or among such buildings based upon the rentable square footage of each building, or such other equitable manner as Landlord shall reasonably deem appropriate.

(g) Tenant shall have the right, at its sole cost and expense, to audit or have its appointed accountant audit Landlord's records related to Recognized Expenses or utilities provided that (i) Tenant provides notice of its intent to audit within ninety (90) days after receiving Landlord’s statement of actual Recognized Expenses or utilities; (ii) the audit is performed by Tenant or a certified public accountant that has not been retained on a contingency basis or other basis where its compensation relates to the cost savings of Tenant; (iii) any such audit may not occur more frequently than once each Lease Year nor apply to any year prior to the year of the then current statement being reviewed and the Base Year, if applicable; and (iv) the audit is completed within thirty (30) days after the date that Landlord makes all of the necessary and applicable records available to Tenant or Tenant’s auditor; (v) the contents of Landlord’s records shall be kept confidential by Tenant, its auditor and its other professional advisors, other than as required by applicable law; (vi) in the event that Tenant or its auditor determines that an overpayment is due Tenant, Tenant or Tenant’s auditor shall produce a detailed report addressed to both Landlord and Tenant, which report shall be delivered within fifteen (15) days of Tenant’s or Tenant’s auditor’s completion of the audit.  Pending completion of Tenant’s audit, Tenant shall nonetheless pay all of Tenant’s Share of the Recognized Expenses in accordance with the statement provided by Landlord. In the event Tenant’s audit discloses any discrepancy, Landlord and Tenant shall use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve the dispute, failing which, they shall submit any such dispute to arbitration pursuant to the rules and under the jurisdiction of the American Arbitration Association in Delaware County, Pennsylvania . The decision rendered in such arbitration shall be final, binding and non-appealable and any payments to be made in accordance with the arbitrator’s decision shall be made promptly. The expenses of arbitration, other than individual legal and accounting expenses (which shall be the respective parties’ responsibility), shall be divided equally between the parties

5. UTILITIES .  

(a) Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent all charges incurred by Landlord, or its agent, for water, sewer, gas and electricity, (i) such charges for the Premises shall be based upon Tenant's Share of the Building or Tenant’s share of the square footage served by the specific submeter for such utility, and (ii) such charges for the Building common areas shall be based on Tenant’s Share of the Building. The aforesaid utility charges shall commence upon the Commencement Date. Landlord shall have the right to estimate the utility charge but shall be required to reconcile on an annual basis based on invoices received for such period in accordance with Section 4(c) above, which obligation shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease. Landlord shall not be liable for any interruption or delay in electric or any other utility service for any reason unless caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or its agents. In the event of interruption or delay in electric or any other utility, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to correct said interruption or delay in a diligent manner by working with the utility providers and Tenant.  Landlord shall have the right to change the electric and other utility provider to the Project or Building at any time. Landlord is

6

 


 

 

hereby authorized to request, on behalf of Tenant, Tenant’s electric consumption data from the applicable utility provider. Landlord shall be responsible for all costs associated with the installation, maintenance, repair and replacements of all submeters and meters serving the Premises.

(b) Except for reasons outside of Landlord’s control, Landlord shall provide: (i) Premises heat and air-conditioning ("HVAC") service in the respective seasons during the hours of 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on weekdays, excluding Building Holidays ("Business Hours") (HVAC service to the Premises on Saturdays shall be provided only upon Tenant’s prior written request to Landlord and shall be subject to payment by Tenant for such HVAC at the rate due for usage during non-Business Hours; provided however, there shall be no charge for such HVAC during the hours of 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on Saturdays); (ii) Premises electricity for lighting and standard office equipment typically found in office buildings in the market in which the Project is located; (iii) water and sewer service to the extent typically provided by landlords of office buildings in the market in which the Project is located; (iv)janitorial services in accordance with the specifications set forth in Exhibit “C” attached hereto; and (v) passenger and freight elevator service to the Premises. At any hours other than Business Hours, HVAC will be provided at Tenant’s expense at $75.00 per hour, as the same may be adjusted by Landlord in its reasonable discretion from time to time. “Building Holidays” are Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day and New Year’s Day.

(c) Use of the Premises, or any part thereof, in a manner exceeding the design conditions (including occupancy and connected electrical load) for the HVAC units serving the Premises, or rearrangement of partitioning which interferes with the normal operation of the HVAC system in the Premises, may require changes in the HVAC system servicing the Premises. Landlord has no obligation to keep cool any of Tenant’s information technology equipment that is placed together in one room, on a rack, or in any similar manner (“IT Equipment”), and Tenant waives any claim against Landlord in connection with Tenant’s IT Equipment. If Tenant exceeds the design conditions for the HVAC units serving the Premises or introduces into the Premises equipment that overloads the system, and/or in any other way causes the system not adequately to perform their proper functions, supplementary systems may at Landlord’s option be provided by Landlord, at Tenant’s expense. Tenant shall not change or adjust any closed or sealed thermostat or other element of the HVAC system without Landlord’s prior written consent. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if Landlord reasonably determines that Tenant's use of electricity is excessive, Tenant agrees to pay for the installation of a separate electric meter or submeter to measure electrical usage in excess of normal office use and to pay Landlord for all such excess electricity registered therein.

(d) If any utility service to the Premises that Landlord is required to provide hereunder is interrupted due solely to the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or Landlord’s failure to comply with its obligations under this Lease (“Service Interruption”) and such Service Interruption causes all or a material portion of the Premises to be unusable (“Affected Space”) for a period of four (4) or more consecutive business days after written notice thereof has been given by Tenant to Landlord (“Interruption Notice”), then, provided that Tenant has actually ceased all of its operations in the Affected Space for the conduct of its business, Fixed Rent shall abate in the proportion that the rentable square footage of the Affected Space bears to the rentable square footage of the Premises, which abatement shall commence on the fifth (5th) business day following Landlord’s receipt of the Interruption Notice and expire on the earlier of Tenant’s re-commencement of operations in the Affected Space or the date that the Service Interruption is remedied. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall not be entitled to abatement or any other remedy to the extent that the Service Interruption is caused in whole or in part by the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or Tenant’s employees, contractors, agents, representatives or invitees, or Tenant’s failure to comply with its obligations under the Lease. Tenant agrees that the rental abatement described herein shall be Tenant’s sole remedy in the event of a Service Interruption and Tenant hereby waives any other rights against Landlord in connection therewith.  

6. SIGNS; USE OF PREMISES AND COMMON AREAS . At Landlord’s sole cost and expense,   Landlord shall provide the original-named Tenant hereinabove named, with standard identification signage on all Building directories and at the entrance to the Premises. No other signs shall be placed, erected or maintained by Tenant at any place upon the Building or Project, except wholly within the Premises at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. Tenant’s use of the Premises shall be limited to general office use and storage incidental thereto (“Permitted Uses”). The Permitted Uses shall be subject to all applicable laws and governmental rules and regulations and to all reasonable requirements of the insurers of the Building Tenant shall not install in or for the

Premises, any equipment which requires more electric current than is customary for general office use. Tenant shall have the right, non-exclusive and in common with others, to use (i) the exterior paved driveways and walkways of the Building for vehicular and pedestrian access to the Building, (ii) the internal common area, including elevators, and (iii) the designated parking areas of the Project for the parking of automobiles of Tenant and its employees and business visitors; provided that Landlord shall have the right, in Landlord’s sole discretion and from time to time, to construct, maintain, operate, repair, close limit, take out of service, alter, change and modify all or any part of the common areas of the Project, including, without limitation to reasonably restrict or limit Tenant's utilization of the parking areas in the event the same become overburdened and in such case to equitably allocate on proportionate basis or assign parking spaces among Tenant and the other tenants of the Building; provided however, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize disruption of Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Premises.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall at all times have the right to use at least 4 parking spaces for every 1,000 rentable square feet of the Premises.

7. ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS . Tenant shall not generate, manufacture, refine, transport, treat, store, handle, dispose, bring or otherwise cause to be brought or permit any of its agents, employees, contractors or invitees to bring in, on or about any part of the Premises, Building or Project, any hazardous substance or hazardous waste in violation of applicable law.

8. TENANT'S ALTERATIONS . Tenant will not cut or drill into or secure any fixture, apparatus or equipment or make alterations, improvements or physical additions (collectively, "Alterations") of any kind to any part of the Premises without first obtaining the written consent of Landlord, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, all furniture, movable trade fixtures and equipment (including telephone, security and communication equipment system wiring and cabling) installed by or for Tenant, its assignees or sublessees shall be removed by Tenant at the termination of this Lease and Tenant shall restore the Premises to the same condition, reasonable wear and tear excepted as of the Commencement Date.

9. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING .

(a) Tenant shall not, without the prior written consent of Landlord, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, assign this Lease or any interest herein, sublet the Premises or any part thereof or, subject to subsection (b) below), assign a Controlling Interest (as hereinafter defined) in Tenant by operation of law or by merger, consolidation, or asset sale.  Landlord shall respond to Tenant’s written request within thirty (30) days of receipt. “Controlling Interest” means a change in the ownership of more than fifty percent (50%) of the ownership interests in Tenant but only if Tenant is a corporation or other entity that is not publicly traded on a national exchange.  Any of the foregoing acts without such consent shall be void. If at any time during the Term of this Lease, Tenant desires to assign this Lease or sublet all or any part of the Premises, Tenant shall give notice to Landlord of such desire, including the name, address and contact party for the proposed assignee or subtenant, the effective date of the proposed assignment or sublease (including the proposed occupancy date by the proposed assignee or sublessee), and in the instance of a proposed sublease, the square footage to be subleased, a floor plan professionally drawn to scale depicting the proposed sublease area, and a statement of the duration of the proposed sublease (which shall in any and all events expire by its terms prior to the scheduled expiration of this Lease, and immediately upon the sooner termination hereof).  Except in the case of an assignment or sublet to an Affiliate (as hereinafter defined) or a Surviving Entity (as hereafter defined) Landlord may, at its option, exercisable by notice given to Tenant within thirty (30) days next following Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s notice, elect to recapture the Premises if Tenant is proposing to sublet or terminate this Lease in the event of an assignment. Regardless of Landlord's consent, no subletting or assignment shall release Tenant of Tenant's obligation or alter the primary liability of Tenant to pay the Rent and to perform all other obligations to be performed by Tenant hereunder for the remainder of the then current Term of the Lease. Landlord shall be entitled to a $500 fee and reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees for Landlord’s reviewing and/or consenting to any sublet or assignment.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have the right without the prior consent of Landlord, but after at least ten (10) days’ prior written notice to Landlord, to assign this Lease or sublet any portion of the Premises to any Affiliate or an entity (the “Surviving Entity”) with which Tenant merges or that acquires substantially all of the assets or stock of Tenant; provided: (i) such assignee shall, in writing, assume and agree to perform all of the obligations of Tenant under this Lease, and it shall deliver a copy of such assignment and assumption

agreement to Landlord within ten (10) days thereafter, together with a certificate of insurance evidencing the assignee’s compliance with the insurance requirements of Tenant under this Lease; (ii) the Surviving Entity shall have a tangible net worth at least equal to the greater of the net worth of Tenant on the date of this Lease or on the date of such Transfer,; (iii) Tenant shall not be released or discharged from any liability under this Lease by reason of such Transfer; (iv) the use of the Premises shall not change; and (v) if the assignment or subletting is to an Affiliate, such assignee or subtenant shall remain an Affiliate throughout the Term and if such assignee or subtenant shall cease being an Affiliate, Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing of such change and such transfer shall be deemed an Event of Default if Landlord’s consent thereto is not given in writing within ten (10) business days of such notification (“Permitted Transfer”).  An “Affiliate” shall mean an entity 50% or more of whose interest is owned by the same owners owning 50% or more of Tenant’s interest, a subsidiary, or a parent entity.  Tenant shall provide to Landlord such financial information concerning the Affiliate or Surviving Entity as reasonably requested by Landlord to establish the foregoing.

(c) For purposes of this Section, and without limiting the basis upon which Landlord may withhold its consent to any proposed assignment or sublease, the parties agree that it shall not be unreasonable for Landlord to withhold its consent to such assignment or sublease if: (i) the proposed assignee or sublessee shall have a net worth which is not acceptable to Landlord in Landlord’s reasonable discretion; (ii) the proposed assignee or sublessee shall have no reliable credit history or an unfavorable credit history, or other reasonable evidence exists that the proposed assignee or sublessee will experience difficulty in satisfying its financial or other obligations under this Lease; (iii) the proposed assignee of sublessee, in Landlord’s reasonable opinion, is not reputable and of good character; (iv) the portion of the Premises requested to be subleased renders the balance of the Premises unleasable as a separate area; (v) Tenant is proposing to assign or sublease to an existing tenant of the Building or another property owned by Landlord or by its partners, or to another prospect with whom Landlord or its partners, or their affiliates are then negotiating [SHOULD BE LIMITED TO RADNOR AREA AND ONLY IF COMPARABLE SPACE IS AVAILABLE]; (vi) the proposed assignee or sublessee would cause Landlord’s existing parking facilities to be reasonably inadequate, or in violation of code requirements, or require Landlord to increase the parking area or the number of parking spaces to meet code requirements, or the nature of such party’s business shall reasonably require more than four (4) parking spaces per 1,000 rentable square feet of floor space, or (vii) the nature of such party’s proposed business operation would or might reasonably permit or require the use of the Premises in a manner inconsistent with the “Permitted Uses” specified herein, would or might reasonably otherwise be in conflict with express provisions of this Lease, would or might reasonably violate the terms of any other lease for the Building, or would, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, otherwise be incompatible with other tenancies in the Building.

10. LANDLORD'S RIGHT OF ENTRY . Landlord and persons authorized by Landlord may enter the Premises at all reasonable times upon reasonable advance notice (or any time without notice in the case of an emergency). Landlord shall not be liable for inconvenience to or disturbance of Tenant by reason of any such entry; provided, however, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize disruption of Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Premises.

11. REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE .  

(a) Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall keep and maintain the Premises in substantially the same order and condition as delivered to Tenant on the Commencement Date, free of rubbish, and shall promptly make all non-structural repairs necessary to keep and maintain such order and condition as delivered to Tenant on the Commencement Date. Tenant shall also, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, make all repairs to the Premises, Building, of Project and its appurtenant common area made necessary by a negligent or willful act of Tenant or any employee, agent, contractor, or invitee of Tenant, except to the extent of insurance proceeds actually received by Landlord. Tenant shall have the option of replacing lights, ballasts, tubes, ceiling tiles, outlets and similar equipment itself or it shall have the ability to advise Landlord of Tenant's desire to have Landlord make such repairs, and shall charge Tenant for such services at Landlord’s standard rate (such rate to be competitive with the market rate for such services). If requested by Tenant, Landlord shall make such repairs, at Tenant’s expense, to the Premises within a reasonable time of notice to Landlord. When used in this Section, the term "repairs" shall include replacements and renewals when necessary. All repairs made by Tenant shall utilize materials and equipment which are at least equal in quality and usefulness to those originally used in constructing the Building and the Premises. Subject to Tenant’s payment of all Recognized Expenses as set forth herein, Landlord shall provide the janitorial services for the Premises set forth

9

 


 

 

on Exhibit “C” .

(b) Landlord shall make, at its sole cost and expense, all repairs necessary to maintain in good order and condition, as applicable, the base building HVAC systems, plumbing and electric systems serving the Building and the Premises (but not Tenant specific HVAC, plumbing, or electrical systems (e.g. supplemental HVAC, Premises specific water heaters, specialty lighting, and etc. installed by or for Tenant, which shall be maintained by Tenant at its cost), and windows, elevators, floors, security system and all other items that constitute a part of the Building and are installed or furnished by Landlord, as well as all repairs necessary to maintain the structural soundness and function of the Building (including the roof and exterior walls), parking lot(s), grounds, site lighting and common areas, such costs to be included as operating expenses to the extent permitted under Section 4 hereof; provided, however, that Landlord shall not be obligated for any of such repairs until the expiration of a reasonable period of time after Landlord has actual knowledge of the need for the repair or has received written notice from Tenant that such repair is needed, whichever is earlier. Subject to Section 12 below, in no event shall Landlord be obligated to repair any damage caused solely by the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or its employees, agents, invitees, licensees, subtenants or contractors; and Tenant shall be solely liable for such repair at Tenant’s sole cost and expense.

12. INSURANCE; SUBROGATION RIGHTS . Tenant shall obtain and keep in force at all times during the Term hereof, at its own expense, commercial general liability insurance including contractual liability and personal injury liability and all similar coverage, with combined single limits of $3,000,000.00 on account of bodily injury to or death of one or more persons as the result of any one accident or disaster and on account of damage to property, or in such other amounts as Landlord may from time to time reasonably require (provided Landlord will not adjust such amounts more than one (1) time every three (3) years). Tenant shall also require its movers to procure and deliver to Landlord a certificate of insurance naming Landlord as an additional insured. Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, maintain in full force and effect on all Tenant's trade fixtures, equipment and personal property on the Premises, a policy of "special form" property insurance covering the full replacement value of such property. All liability insurance required hereunder shall name Tenant as insured, and Landlord, Brandywine Realty Trust, Landlord's Agent as additional insureds, as their interests may appear, and, if requested by Landlord, shall also name as an additional insured any mortgagee or holder of any mortgage which may be or become a lien upon any part of the Premises (collectively, “Mortgagee”). Prior to the Commencement Date, Tenant shall provide Landlord with certificates which evidence that the coverages required have been obtained for the policy periods. Tenant shall also furnish to Landlord throughout the Term hereof replacement certificates at least ten (10) days prior to the expiration dates of the then current policy or policies. All the insurance required under this Lease shall be issued by insurance companies authorized to do business in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania with a financial rating of at least an A-X as rated in the most recent edition of Best's Insurance Reports and in business for the past five years. The limit of any such insurance shall not limit the liability of Tenant hereunder. Any deductible under such insurance policy of Tenant in excess of $50,000 shall be approved by Landlord in writing prior to the issuance of such policy (provided that any liability of Landlord to pay to Tenant pursuant to an express obligation in this Lease for an amount that is below Tenant’s deductible shall be capped at $25,000, as though Tenant had a $25,000 deductible). Tenant shall not self-insure without Landlord’s prior written consent. Each party hereto, and anyone claiming through or under them by way of subrogation, waives and releases any cause of action it might have against the other party and Brandywine Realty Trust and their respective employees, officers, members, partners, trustees and agents, on account of any loss or damage that is insured against under any insurance policy required to be obtained hereunder. Each party agrees that it shall cause its insurance carrier to endorse all applicable policies waiving the carrier's right of recovery under subrogation or otherwise against the other party. If Tenant fails to maintain such insurance, Landlord may, but is not required to, procure and maintain the same, at Tenant's expense to be reimbursed by Tenant as Additional Rent within ten (10) days of written demand.

13. INDEMNIFICATION .  

(a) Subject to the second to last sentence of Section 12, Tenant shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Landlord, Landlord’s property manager, if any, and Brandywine Realty Trust and each of their directors, officers, members, partners, trustees, employees and agents (collectively, "Landlord Indemnitees”) from and against any and all claims, actions, damages, liabilities and expenses (including all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees)) arising from: (i) Tenant’s breach of this Lease; (ii) any negligence or willful act of Tenant or any and each of Tenant’s directors, officers, members, partners, trustees, employees and agents (collectively,

10

 


 

 

“Tenant Indemnitees”) or Tenant invitees, employees, customers, agents, representatives, contractors, subtenants or assignees ,   (iii) any acts or omissions occurring at, or the condition, use or operation of, the Premises, except to the extent arising from Landlord’s negligence or willful misconduct. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Tenant’s obligations shall include any case in which Landlord or Brandywine Realty Trust shall be made a party to any litigation commenced by or against Tenant, its agents, subtenants, licensees, concessionaires, contractors, customers or employees,   then upon notice from Landlord, Tenant shall defend. If Tenant fails to promptly defend a Landlord Indemnitee following written demand by the Landlord Indemnitee, the Landlord Indemnitee shall defend the same at Tenant’s expense, by retaining or employing counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Landlord Indemnitee.

(b) Subject to the second to last sentence of Section 12 , Landlord shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Tenant Indemnitees from and against any and all claims, actions, damages, liabilities and expenses (including all reasonable attorney’s fees) arising from: (i) Landlord’s breach of the Lease; and (ii) any negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or any Landlord Indemnitees. If Landlord fails to promptly defend a Tenant Indemnitee following written demand by the Tenant Indemnitee, the Tenant Indemnitee shall defend the same at Landlord’s expense, by retaining or employing counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Tenant Indemnitee.

(c) The provisions of this Section shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

14. FIRE OR OTHER CASUALTY DAMAGE . If (i) Landlord determines that the casualty damage is of a nature or extent that, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, the repair and restoration work would require more than one hundred eighty (180) consecutive days to complete after the casualty (assuming normal work crews not engaged in overtime), or (ii) more than thirty percent (30%) of the total area of the Building is extensively damaged, or (iii) the casualty occurs in the last Lease Year of the Term and Tenant has not exercised a renewal right or (iv) insurance proceeds are unavailable or insufficient (a “Termination Event”), Landlord or Tenant (unless the damage was caused by Tenant or Tenant’s agents, employees, contractors or invitees) shall have the right to terminate this Lease and all the unaccrued obligations of the parties hereto, by sending written notice of such termination to the other party within thirty (30) days of the later of (i) the date of casualty or (ii) Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s notice of a Termination Event.  Landlord shall provide notice of (i) and (ii) in the preceding sentence within sixty (60) days of the occurrence of the casualty. Such notice shall specify a termination date no less than fifteen (15) days after its transmission. In the event of damage or destruction to the Premises or any part thereof and neither party has terminated this Lease, Tenant’s obligation to pay Fixed Rent and Additional Rent shall be equitably adjusted or abated for such time as the Premises is not capable of being used by Tenant for its Permitted Use. Provided the casualty was not caused by Tenant, Tenant shall have the right to terminate the Lease by sending written notice of termination to Landlord within thirty (30) days of the Outside Date (as hereinafter defined) if the repair and restoration work is not completed by such date. “Outside Date” means (i) if the Landlord estimated that the repair and restoration work would require less than 180 consecutive dates to complete, the 270th day after the date of such casualty, as extended by each day (not to exceed thirty (30) days) of force majeure delay or (ii) if Landlord estimated that the repair and restoration work would require more than 180 consecutive days to complete, and neither Landlord nor Tenant exercised its option to terminate pursuant to the first sentence, the date which is 90 days after the estimated completion date set forth in Landlord’s notice as extended by each day (not to exceed thirty (30) days) of force majeure delay.

15. SUBORDINATION; RIGHTS OF MORTGAGEE .   Except as expressly provided below, This Lease shall be subordinate at all times to the lien of any mortgages now or hereafter placed upon the Premises, Building and/or Project and land of which they are a part without the necessity of any further instrument or act on the part of Tenant to effectuate such subordination. Tenant’s agreement to subordinate this Lease to any such mortgage is expressly conditioned upon the holder or holders of such mortgage agreeing to recognize this Lease and not disturb Tenant’s possession hereunder provided that Tenant is not in default under the terms and conditions of this Lease beyond any applicable notice and cure periods. Tenant further agrees to execute and deliver within ten (10) business days of demand such further instrument evidencing such subordination and attornment as shall be reasonably required by any Mortgagee provided that such instrument contains non-disturbance as aforesaid. In the event Landlord shall be or is alleged to be in default of any of its obligations owing to Tenant under this Lease, Tenant agrees to give to the holder of any Mortgage, that has provided Tenant with an address and requested same, now or hereafter placed upon the Premises, Building and/or Project, notice by overnight mail of any such default which Tenant shall have served upon Landlord (provided, that Tenant shall have no such obligation unless Landlord or such Mortgagee provides Tenant with notice and contact information with respect to such Mortgagee).  Tenant shall not be entitled

11

 


 

 

to exercise any right or remedy as there may be because of any default by Landlord (as opposed to exercising an express termination right) without having given such notice to the Mortgagee; and Tenant further agrees that if Landlord shall fail to cure such default the Mortgagee shall have thirty (30) additional days within which to cure such default; provided the foregoing shall not apply with respect to any rent abatement to which Tenant is entitled under this Lease.  Landlord represents to Tenant that, as of the date of this Lease, there is no mortgage encumbering the Premises, Building, Project and/or land of which they are a part.

16. CONDEMNATION . If a taking renders the Building reasonably unsuitable for Tenant’s Permitted Use, this Lease shall, at either party's option, terminate as of the date title to the condemned real estate vests in the condemnor, and the Fixed Rent and Additional Rent herein reserved shall be apportioned and paid in full by Tenant to Landlord to that date and all rent prepaid for period beyond that date shall forthwith be repaid by Landlord to Tenant and neither party shall thereafter have any liability hereunder. If this Lease is not terminated after any such taking or condemnation, the Fixed Rent and the Additional Rent shall be equitably reduced in proportion to the area of the Premises which has been taken for the balance of the Term. Tenant shall have the right to make a claim against the condemnor for moving expenses and business dislocation damages to the extent that such claim does not reduce the sums otherwise payable by the condemnor to Landlord.

17. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE . Each party agrees at any time and from time to time, within ten (10) business days after the other party's written request, to execute and deliver to the other party a written instrument in recordable form certifying all inf ormation reasonably requested.

18. DEFAULT .  

(a) If: (i) Tenant fails to pay any installment of Rent when due; provided, however, Landlord shall provide written notice of the failure to pay such Rent and Tenant shall have a five (5) business day grace period from its receipt of such Landlord’s notice within which to pay such Rent without creating a default hereunder. Except as otherwise set forth in Section 3, the late fee set forth in Section 3 hereof shall be due on the first day after such payment is due irrespective of the foregoing notice and grace period; (ii) Tenant fails to bond over a construction or mechanics lien within ten (10) days of demand; (iii) Tenant fails to observe or perform any of Tenant's other non-monetary agreements or obligations herein contained within thirty (30) days after written notice specifying the default, or the expiration of such additional time period as is reasonably necessary to cure such default, provided Tenant immediately commences and thereafter proceeds with all due diligence and in good faith to cure such default; or (iv) Tenant fails to deliver any of the estoppel, non-disturbance agreement or financial information in the time period required by this Lease; then, in any such event, an “Event of Default” shall be deemed to exist and Tenant shall be in default hereunder.

(b) If an Event of Default shall occur, the following provisions shall apply and Landlord shall have, in addition to all other rights and remedies available at law or in equity, including the right to terminate the Lease, the rights and remedies set forth herein, which may be exercised upon or at any time following the occurrence of an Event of Default.  

(i) Acceleration of Rent . In the event of a monetary Event of Default, by notice to Tenant, Landlord shall have the right to accelerate all Rent and all expense due hereunder and otherwise payable in installments over the remainder of the Term; and the amount of accelerated rent to the termination date, without further notice or demand for payment, shall be due and payable by Tenant within five (5) business days after Landlord has so notified Tenant, such amount collected from Tenant shall be discounted to present value using an interest rate of six percent (6%) per annum. Additional Rent which has not been included, in whole or in part, in accelerated rent, shall be due and payable by Tenant during the remainder of the Term, in the amounts and at the times otherwise provided for in this Lease.

(ii) Landlord’s Damages . The damages which Landlord shall be entitled to recover from Tenant shall be the sum of: (A) all Fixed Rent and Additional Rent accrued and unpaid as of the termination date; and (B) all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in recovering possession of the Premises, including legal fees, and removal and storage of Tenant's property, (C) the costs and expenses of restoring the Premises to the condition in which the same were to have been surrendered by Tenant as of the expiration of the Term, and (D) the costs of reletting commissions; and (E) all Fixed Rent and Additional Rent otherwise payable by Tenant over the remainder of the Term as reduced to present value, less deducting from the total determined under subsections (A), (B), (C) and (D) above,

12

 


 

 

all Rent which Landlord receives from other tenant(s) by reason of the leasing of the Premises during any period falling within the otherwise remainder of the Term.

(iii) Landlord’s Right to Cure . Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if Tenant shall fail to perform any of its obligations hereunder, Landlord may, in addition to any other rights it may have in law or in equity, cure such default on behalf of Tenant, and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord upon demand for any sums paid or costs incurred by Landlord in curing such default, including reasonable attorneys' fees and other legal expenses, together with interest at 12% per annum (“Default Rate”) from the dates of Landlord's incurring of costs or expenses.

(iv) Interest on Damage Amounts . Any sums payable by Tenant hereunder, which are not paid after the same shall be due, shall bear interest at the Default Rate; provided however, Tenant shall be entitled to one (1) grace period of three (3) business days per calendar year.

(v) No Waiver by Landlord . No delay or forbearance by Landlord in exercising any right or remedy hereunder, or Landlord's undertaking or performing any act or matter which is not expressly required to be undertaken by Landlord shall be construed, respectively, to be a waiver of Landlord's rights or to represent any agreement by Landlord to undertake or perform such act or matter thereafter. Waiver by Landlord of any breach by Tenant of any covenant or condition herein contained (which waiver shall be effective only if so expressed in writing by Landlord) or failure by Landlord to exercise any right or remedy in respect of any such breach shall not constitute a waiver or relinquishment for the future of Landlord's right to have any such covenant or condition duly performed or observed by Tenant, or of Landlord's rights arising because of any subsequent breach of any such covenant or condition nor bar any right or remedy of Landlord in respect of such br each or any subsequent breach.

In addition to, and not in lieu of any of the foregoing rights granted to Landlord:

WHEN THIS LEASE OR TENANT'S RIGHT OF POSSESSION SHALL BE TERMINATED BY COVENANT OR CONDITION BROKEN, OR FOR ANY OTHER REASON, EITHER DURING THE TERM OF THIS LEASE OR ANY RENEWAL OR EXTENSION THEREOF, AND ALSO WHEN AND AS SOON AS THE TERM HEREBY CREATED OR ANY EXTENSION THEREOF SHALL HAVE EXPIRED, IT SHALL BE LAWFUL FOR ANY ATTORNEY AS ATTORNEY FOR TENANT TO FILE AN AGREEMENT FOR ENTERING IN ANY COMPETENT COURT AN ACTION TO CONFESS JUDGMENT IN EJECTMENT AGAINST TENANT AND ALL PERSONS CLAIMING UNDER TENANT, WHEREUPON, IF LANDLORD SO DESIRES, A WRIT OF EXECUTION OR OF POSSESSION MAY ISSUE FORTHWITH, WITHOUT ANY PRIOR WRIT OF PROCEEDINGS, WHATSOEVER, AND PROVIDED THAT IF FOR ANY REASON AFTER SUCH ACTION SHALL HAVE BEEN COMMENCED THE SAME SHALL BE DETERMINED AND THE POSSESSION OF THE PREMISES HEREBY DEMISED REMAIN IN OR BE RESTORED TO TENANT, LANDLORD SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT UPON ANY SUBSEQUENT DEFAULT OR DEFAULTS, OR UPON THE TERMINATION OF THIS LEASE AS HEREINBEFORE SET FORTH, TO BRING ONE OR MORE ACTION OR ACTIONS AS HEREINBEFORE SET FORTH TO RECOVER POSSESSION OF THE SAID PREMISES.

In any action to confess judgment in ejectment, Landlord shall first cause to be filed in such action an affidavit made by it or someone acting for it setting forth the facts necessary to authorize the entry of judgment, of which facts such affidavit shall be conclusive evidence, and if a true copy of this Lease (and of the truth of the copy such affidavit shall be sufficient evidence) be filed in such action, it shall not be necessary to file the original as a warrant of attorney, any rule of Court, custom or practice to the contrary notwithstanding.

_______________ (INITIAL). TENANT WAIVER. TENANT SPECIFICALLY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT TENANT HAS VOLUNTARILY, KNOWINGLY AND INTELLIGENTLY WAIVED CERTAIN DUE PROCESS RIGHTS TO A PREJUDGMENT HEARING BY AGREEING TO THE TERMS OF THE FOREGOING PARAGRAPHS REGARDING CONFESSION OF JUDGMENT. TENANT FURTHER SPECIFICALLY AGREES THAT IN THE EVENT OF DEFAULT, LANDLORD MAY PURSUE MULTIPLE REMEDIES INCLUDING OBTAINING POSSESSION PURSUANT TO A JUDGMENT BY CONFESSION AND ALSO OBTAINING A MONEY JUDGMENT FOR PAST DUE AND ACCELERATED AMOUNTS AND EXECUTING UPON SUCH JUDGMENT. IN SUCH EVENT AND SUBJECT TO THE TERMS SET FORTH HEREIN, LANDLORD SHALL PROVIDE FULL CREDIT TO TENANT FOR ANY MONTHLY CONSIDERATION WHICH LANDLORD RECEIVES FOR THE LEASED PREMISES IN

13

 


 

 

MITIGATION OF ANY OBLIGATION OF TENANT TO LANDLORD FOR THAT MONEY. FURTHERMORE, TENANT SPECIFICALLY WAIVES ANY CLAIM AGAINST LANDLORD AND LANDLORD'S COUNSEL FOR VIOLATION OF TENANT'S CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS IN THE EVENT THAT JUDGMENT IS CONFESSED PURSUANT TO THIS LEASE.

19. SURRENDER . Tenant shall, at the expiration of the Term or sooner termination of Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises, promptly vacate and surrender the Premises in substantially the same order and condition as delivered to Tenant, and in conformity with the applicable provisions of this Lease including without limitation Sections 8 and 11, normal wear and tear and damage from casualty or condemnation excepted. Tenant shall have no right to hold over beyond the expiration of the Term and if Tenant does not vacate as required, Tenant’s occupancy shall not be construed to effect or constitute anything other than a tenancy at sufferance. During any period of occupancy beyond the expiration of the Term the amount of rent owed to Landlord by Tenant shall automatically extend, at Landlord’s option, for the first additional month at one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the sum of the Rent as those sums are at that time calculated under the provisions of this Lease and thereafter for each successive month at the rate of two hundred percent (200%) of the sum of the Rent. The acceptance of Rent by Landlord or the failure or delay of Landlord in notifying or evicting Tenant following the expiration or sooner termination of the Term shall not create any tenancy rights in Tenant and any such payments by Tenant may be applied by Landlord against its costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by Landlord as a result of such holdover. The provisions of this Section shall not constitute a waiver by Landlord of any right of re-entry as set forth in this Lease, nor shall receipt of any Rent or any other act in apparent affirmance of the tenancy operate as a waiver of Landlord’s right to terminate this Lease for any Event of Default. In addition to the foregoing, if Tenant fails to surrender the Premises upon the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease, Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Landlord from all costs, loss, expense or liability incurred as a result of such holdover, including without limitation, claims made by any succeeding tenant and real estate brokers’ claims and attorneys’ fees. At the end of the Term or sooner termination of Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises, Tenant shall, at Landlord’s option, remove all furniture, movable trade fixtures and equipment (including telephone, security and communication equipment system wiring and cabling) in a good and workmanlike manner so as not to damage the Premises or Building (or if any damage is caused to the Premises or Building, Tenant shall, at Tenant’s expense, repair such damage) and in such manner so as not to disturb other tenants in the Building. Tenant’s obligation to pay Rent and to perform all other Lease obligations for the period up to and including the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, and the provisions of this Section, shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

20. RULES AND REGULATIONS . Tenant agrees that at all times during the Term of this Lease (as same may be extended) it, its employees, agents, invitees and licenses shall comply with all rules and regulations specified on Exhibit “D” attached hereto and made a part hereof, together with all reasonable rules and regulations as Landlord may from time to time promulgate by written notice provided that such rules and regulations apply to all tenants of the Building, do not increase the financial burdens of Tenant and do not adversely affect Tenant’s rights under this Lease.  In the event of an inconsistency between the rules and regulations and this Lease, the provisions of this Lease shall control.

21. GOVERNMENTAL REGULATIONS . Tenant shall, in the use and occupancy of the Premises and the conduct of Tenant's business therein, at all times comply with all applicable laws, ordinances, orders, notices, rules and regulations of the federal, state and municipal governments. Landlord shall be responsible for compliance with Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act of l990, 42 U.S.C. §12181 et   seq . and its regulations, (collectively, "ADA") as to the design and construction of exterior and interior common areas ( e.g. sidewalks, parking areas and common area restrooms) . Except as set forth above in the initial sentence hereto, Tenant shall be responsible for compliance with the ADA in all other respects concerning the use and occupancy of the Premises, which compliance shall include, without limitation (i) provision for full and equal enjoyment of the goods, services, facilities, privileges, advantages or accommodations of the Premises as contemplated by and to the extent required by the ADA, (ii) compliance relating to requirements under the ADA or amendments thereto arising after the date of this Lease and (iii) compliance relating to the design, layout, renovation, redecorating, refurbishment, alteration, or improvement to the Premises made or requested by Tenant at any time following completion of the Improvements.

22. NOTICES . Wherever in this Lease it is required or permitted that notice or demand be given or served by either party to this Lease to or on the other party, such notice or demand shall be duly given or served if in writing

14

 


 

 

and either: (i) personally served; (ii) delivered by pre-paid nationally recognized overnight courier service (e.g., Federal Express) with evidence of receipt required for delivery; (iii) forwarded by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid; or (iv) emailed with evidence of receipt and delivery of a copy of the notice by first class mail; in all such cases addressed to the parties at the addresses set forth below. Each such notice shall be deemed to have been given to or served upon the party to which addressed on the date the same is delivered or delivery is refused.

24. LANDLORD'S LIABILITY .

In addition to the foregoing, no recourse shall be had for an obligation of Landlord hereunder, or for any claim based thereon or otherwise in respect thereof, against any past, present or future trustee, member, partner, shareholder, officer, director, partner, agent or employee of Landlord, whether by virtue of any statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such other liability being expressly waived and released by Tenant with respect to the above-named individuals and entities. Except as provided in the following sentence, under no circumstances shall Landlord be liable to Tenant for any failure or refusal to grant its consent when consent is required hereunder.

Tenant shall execute any reasonable amendment evidencing the terms of the relocation as Landlord may require in its reasonable discretion; provided (i) in the event that the new premises contain more rentable square feet than the Premises, neither Fixed Rent nor Tenant’s Share shall be increased, and (ii) in the event that the new premises contain less rentable square feet than the Premises, Fixed Rent and Tenant’s Share shall be reduced accordingly.  Any move associated with Landlord’s relocation of Tenant shall be scheduled so that packing, moving and unpacking is done between 6:00 p.m. Friday and 7:00 a.m. Monday.  All elements of the relocation shall be planned so as to reasonably minimize downtime and disruption to Tenant’s ongoing business operations.
