For and in consideration of the covenants herein contained, and upon
the terms and conditions herein set forth, Landlord and Tenant, intending to be
legally bound, agree as follows:
1. Definitions. The definitions set forth in the preceding Preamble
shall apply to the same capitalized terms appearing in this Lease Agreement.
Additional definitions are contained in Section 42 and throughout this Lease.
2. Premises. Landlord hereby demises and leases the Premises to Tenant
and Tenant hereby leases and takes the Premises from Landlord for the Term (as
defined in Section 4) and upon the terms, covenants, conditions, and provisions
set forth in this Lease Agreement, including the Preamble (this "Lease"). The
Tenant's interest in the Premises as tenant shall include the right, in common
with Landlord and other occupants of the Building, to use driveways, sidewalks,
loading and parking areas, lobbies, hallways and other facilities which are
located within the Property (defined in Section 6) and which are designated by
Landlord from time to time for the use of all of the tenants of the Building
(the "Common Facilities").
3. Completion of Premises. The Premises shall be completed by Landlord
in accordance with the plans and specifications attached hereto as Exhibit C
(herein called the "Plans") at Landlord's expense provided, however, Tenant
shall pay the sum of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00) to Landlord on account
of the tenant improvements to be constructed (the "Tenant's Share"). All
necessary construction shall be commenced promptly following Landlord's
execution and acceptance of this Lease and Tenant's delivery of the Security
Deposit to Landlord and shall be substantially completed and ready for use and
occupancy by Tenant on the Target Date set forth in the Preamble; provided,
however, that the time for substantial completion of the Premises and the
Outside Date (as defined below) shall be extended for additional periods of time
equal to the time lost by Landlord or Landlord's contractors, subcontractors or
suppliers due to strikes or other labor troubles; delays in Tenant's selection
of materials, plans or specifications; modifications or amendments to the plans
or specifications prepared by Tenant; governmental restrictions and limitations;
unavailability or delays in obtaining fuel, labor or materials; war or other
national emergency; accidents; floods; defective materials; fire damage or other
casualties; adverse weather conditions; the inability to obtain building or use
and occupancy permits; or any cause similar or dissimilar to the foregoing which
is beyond the reasonable control of Landlord or Landlord's contractors,
subcontractors or suppliers. The Premises shall be deemed substantially
completed when Tenant is in receipt of a Certificate of Occupancy or Temporary
Certificate of Occupancy (punch list items excepted) and Tenant can use and
occupy the Premises for the Permitted Purpose without unreasonable interference.
Upon substantial completion, Tenant shall immediately pay to Landlord the
Tenant's Share. All construction shall be done in a good and workmanlike manner
and shall comply at the time of completion with all applicable and lawful laws,
ordinances, regulations and orders of the federal, state, county or other
governmental authorities having jurisdiction thereof. Tenant and its authorized
agents, employees and contractors shall have the right, at their own risk,
expense and responsibility, at all reasonable times prior to the Target Date as
hereinafter defined, to
1
enter the Premises for the purpose of taking measurements and installing its
furnishings and equipment; provided that Tenant, in so doing, shall not
interfere with or delay the work to be performed hereunder by Landlord, and
Tenant shall use contractors and workmen compatible with the contractors and
workmen engaged in the work to be performed hereunder by Landlord, and Tenant
shall have obtained Landlord's written consent to installing any furnishings or
equipment. If Landlord shall fail to deliver possession of the Premises by the
Target Date for any reason, whether or not within Landlord's control, Landlord
shall not be subject to any liability to Tenant. No failure to deliver the
Premises by the Target Date or any other date shall in any respect affect the
validity or continuance of this Lease of any obligation of Tenant hereunder or
extend the Term of the Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event
Landlord fails to substantially complete the Premises (as defined above) on or
before December 1, 1999 (the "Outside Date"), then Tenant shall be entitled to
terminate this Lease upon three (3) days prior written notice given on or before
December 15, 1999.
4. Term. The Term of this Lease shall commence on the date (the
"Commencement Date") which is the first to occur of (a) the date the Premises
are deemed substantially completed as provided in Section 3 and ready for
occupancy as evidenced by a certificate of occupancy or temporary certificate of
occupancy above and (b) the date on which the Premises are actually occupied by
Tenant. Following the Commencement Date, the Term of this Lease, unless sooner
terminated as expressly provided in this Lease, shall continue until the date of
expiration of the term specified as the Term of Lease in the Preamble plus the
number of days which remain in the calendar month in which such term expires
(the "Term"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Tenant is not in
default of its obligations hereunder, Tenant shall have the one time right to
terminate this Lease as if such termination date were the date of the expiration
of the Lease subject to the following conditions: (i) Landlord has received
thirty six (36) months of Fixed Basic Rent and Additional Rent; (ii) Tenant give
Landlord in writing at least twelve (12) months prior written notice of such
termination; (iii) Tenant reimburses Landlord for all costs of: (x) unamortized
tenant improvements completed in accordance with Section 3 of this Lease; and
(y) unamortized brokerage commissions paid by Landlord on account of this Lease
the sum of which unamortized tenant improvements and brokerage commissions
Landlord and Tenant acknowledge will be One Hundred Thirty Eight Thousand Three
Hundred Seventy Two and 8/100 Dollars ($138,372.84); and (iv) Tenant pay to
Landlord a termination fee equal to Sixty Five Thousand Five Hundred Forty Six
and 33/100 Dollars ($65,546.33) plus the sum of four (4) months of Additional
Rent. In the event Tenant does not exercise the termination right provided
herein effective as of the end of the thirty sixth (36> month of the Term, the
Tenant shall be deemed to have waived such right. Upon request of Landlord,
Tenant shall enter into a memorandum agreement stipulating the actual
Commencement Date of the Term.
5. Use of Premises. Tenant shall occupy the Premises throughout the
Term and shall use the same for, and only for, the Permitted Use specified in
the Preamble. The Building is designed to normal building standards for
floor-loading capacity. Tenant shall not use the Premises in such ways which, in
Landlord's judgment, exceed such load limits.
2
6. Rent. Unless otherwise specifically requested by Landlord at any
time, Fixed Basic Rent, Additional Rent and any other rent or other sums due
under this Lease (hereunder collectively referred to as Rent) shall be paid and
delivered to Landlord's property manager, if any, as agent for Landlord, in the
amounts, time and manner more particularly provided in this Lease.
a. Fixed Basic Rent. Commencing on the Commencement Date,
Tenant shall pay, throughout the Term, Fixed Basic Rent in the amount specified
in the Preamble, without notice or demand and without setoff or deduction, in
equal monthly installments equal to one-twelfth of the Fixed Basic Rent
(specified as Monthly Installments in the Preamble), in advance, on the first
day of each calendar month during the Term. If the Commencement Date falls on a
day other than the first day of a calendar month, the fixed Basic Rent shall be
apportioned on a per diem basis for the period between the Commencement Date and
the first day of the first full calendar month in the Term and such apportioned
sum shall be paid on the Commencement Date.
b. Additional Rent. Commencing on the Commencement Date,
Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, in the manner more
particularly set forth below, Tenant's Proportionate Share of Annual Operating
Costs (as defined below) for the Property to the extent same exceeds the sum of
Four and 25/100 Dollars ($4.25) (the "Expense Stop") per rentable square foot of
the Premises:
i) Annual Operating Costs. The term "Annual Operating Costs"
shall mean all costs Landlord incurs from owning, operating and maintaining the
Building and the lot or tract of land on which it is situated (the "Property").
Annual Operating Costs shall include, by way of example rather than limitation:
insurance costs, including premiums; fees; Impositions (defined below); costs
for repairs, maintenance and service contracts (including HVAC service contracts
for base Building standard HVAC systems); management fees (reasonably consistent
with market rates); landscaping; snow removal; governmental permits fees; costs
of compliance with governmental orders and regulations; administrative and
overhead expenses; costs of furnishing water, sewer, electricity, gas, fuel, and
other utility services, for use in Common Facilities of the Building and
Property; and the cost of janitorial service and trash removal; excluding,
however, from Annual Operating Costs the following: costs which are treated as
capital expenditures (except as provided in Sections 9(d) andl0(b)) under
generally accepted accounting principles; mortgage debt or ground rents incurred
by Landlord as owner of the Property; income, excess profits, corporate capital
stock or franchise tax imposed or assessed upon Landlord, unless such tax or any
similar tax is levied or assessed, in lieu of all or any part of any currently
existing Imposition or an increase in any currently existing Imposition; leasing
commissions, accountants', consultants' or attorneys' fees, costs and
disbursement and other expenses incurred in connection with negotiations or
disputes with tenants or prospective tenants or associated with the enforcement
of any leases or the defense of Landlord's title to or interest in the Building
in connection with any proceedings involving real property taxes other than
disputes regarding tax assessment and reduction of real property taxes; costs of
3
construction of the Building and related facilities and correction of defects in
construction of the Building (including permit, license and inspection fees);
costs of any items or services sold or provided to tenants (including Tenant)
for which Landlord is entitled to be reimbursed by such tenants or which are not
generally provided to all tenants of the Building at the same level of service;
fees and higher interest charges caused by Landlord's refinancing the Building;
all repairs to the interior of the Building of a structural nature (not made
necessary by unusual use by Tenant); costs incurred due to violation by Landlord
or any tenant of the terms and conditions of any lease; overhead and profit
increment paid to subsidiaries or affiliates of Landlord, or to any party as a
result of a noncompetitive selection process, for management or other services
on or to the Building or for supplies or other materials, to the extent that the
costs of such services, supplies or materials exceed the costs that would have
been paid had the services, supplies or materials been provided by unaffiliated
parties on a competitive basis; general overhead and administrative expenses
except salaries of on-site property manager, management secretary and
maintenance man; any compensation paid to clerks, attendants or other persons in
commercial concessions operated by Landlord, rentals and other related expenses
incurred in leasing air conditioning systems, elevators or other equipment
ordinarily considered to be for a capital nature, except equipment which is used
in providing janitorial services and which is not affixed to the Building; all
items and services for which Tenant reimburses Landlord or pays third persons or
which Landlord provides selectively to one or more tenants or occupants of the
Building (other than Tenant) without reimbursement; commissions, advertising,
and promotional expenditures. "Impositions" shall mean all levies, taxes,
assessments, charges, imposts, and burdens, of whatever kind and nature,
ordinary and extraordinary, which are assessed or imposed during the Term by any
federal, state or municipal government or public authority or under any law,
ordinance or regulation thereof or pursuant to any recorded covenants or
agreements upon or with respect to the Property or any part thereof, any
improvements thereto, any personal property necessary to the operation thereof
and owned by Landlord or this Lease. If under the requirements of any state or
local law, a new Imposition is imposed upon Landlord which Tenant is prohibited
by law from paying, Landlord may, as its election, terminate this Lease by
giving written notice thereof to Tenant provided the effect of such imposition
is material and adverse to Landlord's ownership and economic interest in the
Building and Tenant and Landlord are not otherwise able to remedy such adverse
impact on Landlord's interest in the Building.
ii) Estimated Payments - Expense Statement and
Reconciliation.
(1) Landlord shall submit to Tenant as soon as
reasonably possible after the beginning of each calendar year of the Term, but
no greater than 120, days the following:
(a) a statement setting forth (i) the Annual Operating
Costs for the previous calendar year of the Term and (ii) acalculation of
Tenant's Proportionate Share of the increase in the Annual Operating Costs over
the Expense Stop for the previous calendar year (the "Expense Statement"); and
4
(b) a statement of Landlord's good faith estimate of
the Annual Operating Costs for the current calendar year and a calculation of
Tenant's Proportionate Share of the increase in the Annual Operating Costs over
the Expense Stop for the current calendar year ("Tenant's Estimated
Share").
(2) Beginning with the next installment of Fixed Basic Rent
due thirty (30) days after the delivery of the aforesaid statements to Tenant,
Tenant shall pay to Landlord, on account of its Proportionate Share of the
increase in the Annual Operating Costs over the Expense Stop, a sum equal to the
product of one-twelfth (1/12) of Tenant's Estimated Share and the number of
calendar months elapsed during the current calendar year up to and including the
month payment is made, plus any amounts due from Tenant to Landlord on account
of Annual Operating Costs for any prior period(s) of time.
(3) In the event the Expense Statement indicates the sum of
all payments made by Tenant to Landlord on account of Annual Operating Costs for
the previous calendar year exceed those actually specified in the Expense
Statement, then such credit shall be applied to the next following installments
of Additional Rent due to Landlord until such credit is exhausted.
(4) On the first day of each succeeding calendar month
until such time as Tenant receives a new Expense Statement and statement of
Tenant's Estimated Share, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, on account of its
Proportionate Share of Annual Operating Costs, one-twelfth (1/12) of the then
current Tenant's Estimated Share. Any payment due from Tenant to Landlord, or
any refund due from Landlord to Tenant, on account of Annual Operating Costs not
yet determined as of the expiration of the Term shall be made within thirty (30)
days after submission to Tenant of the next Expense Statement.
c) Disputes. Unless Tenant, within thirty (30) days
after any statement of Additional Rent is furnished, shall give notice to
Landlord that Tenant disputes said statement, specifying the basis for such
dispute, each statement furnished to Tenant by Landlord under any provision of
this Section shall be conclusively binding upon Tenant as to the particular
Additional Rent due from Tenant for the period represented thereby. Tenant shall
have the right at reasonable times to examine the records used in making the
aforestated determinations, upon written notice in advance; provided, however,
such disputed amount shall have been paid by Tenant to Landlord. In the event
any such examination shall reveal an adverse variance in excess of 5% of the
total operating expenses of which Tenant is required to pay their Proportionate
Share, Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for the reasonable cost of such
examination within thirty (30) days after demand and the amount of disputed
item(s) overpaid by Tenant. Tenant shall make all payments of Additional Rent
without delay and regardless of any pending dispute over the amount of
Additional Rent that is due in accordance with the statements furnished by
Landlord. Landlord shall have the right to retain Tenant's security deposit
until all Additional Rent payable by Tenant is determined and paid.
5
d) Independent Covenant; Survival. Tenant's covenant to pay
Rent is independent of any other covenant, agreement, term or condition of this
Lease except as provided in Sections 9(d), 15 and 18 below. Without limitation
of any obligation of Tenant under this Lease which shall survive the expiration
of the Term, the obligation of Tenant to pay Rent shall survive the expiration
of the Term.
7. Insurance.
a) Liability. Tenant, at Tenant's sole cost and expense,
shall maintain and keep insurance in effect throughout the Term against
liability for bodily injury (including death) and property damage in or about
the Premises or the Property under a policy of comprehensive general public
liability insurance, with such limits as to each as may be reasonably required
by Landlord from time to time, but not less than $2,000,000.00 for each person
and $5,000,000.00 in the aggregate for bodily injury (including death) to more
than one (1) person and $2,000,000.00 for property damage. The policies of
comprehensive general public liability insurance shall name Landlord (and if
requested, any mortgagee of Landlord) as an additional party. Each such policy
shall provide that it shall not be cancelable without at least thirty (30) days
prior written notice to Landlord and to any mortgagee named in an endorsement
thereto and shall be issued by an insurer and in a form satisfactory to
Landlord. At least ten (10) days prior to the Commencement Date, and thereafter
upon Landlord's request, a certificate of insurance shall be delivered to
Landlord proving compliance with the foregoing requirements. If Tenant shall
fail, refuse or neglect to obtain or to maintain any insurance that it is
required to provide or to furnish Landlord with satisfactory evidence of
coverage on any such policy upon demand, Landlord shall have the right to
purchase such insurance. All payments made by Landlord for such insurance shall
be recoverable by Landlord from Tenant, together with interest thereon, as
Additional Rent promptly upon demand. Notwithstanding anything contained herein
to the contrary, Tenant may self-insure all of its personal property situated
within the Premises against property damage and destruction.
b) Waiver of Subrogation. The parties to this Lease each
release the other, to the extent of the releasing party's insurance coverage,
from any and all liability for any loss or damage covered by such insurance
which may be inflicted upon the property of such party even if such loss or
damage shall be brought about by the fault or negligence of the other party, its
agents or employees. If any policy does not permit such a release of liability
and a waiver of subrogation, and if the party to benefit therefrom requests that
such a waiver be obtained, the other party agrees to obtain an endorsement to
its insurance policies permitting such waiver of subrogation if it is available.
If an additional premium is charged for such waiver, the party benefiting
therefrom agrees to pay the amount of such additional premium promptly upon
demand. In the event a party is unable to obtain such a waiver, it shall
immediately notify the other party of its inability. In the absence of such
notifications, each party shall be deemed to have obtained such waiver of
subrogation.
c) Increase of Premiums. Tenant will not do anything or
fail to do anything or permit anything to be done which will cause the cost of
Landlord's insurance
6
to increase or which will prevent Landlord from procuring insurance (including
but not limited to public liability insurance) from companies, and in a form,
satisfactory to Landlord. If any breach of this subsection (c) by Tenant shall
cause the rate of fire or other insurance to be increased, Tenant shall pay the
amount of such increase as Additional Rent promptly upon demand. If Tenant does
anything or fails to do anything or permits anything to be done for which
insurance cannot be obtained, Landlord may terminate this Lease upon written
notice to Tenant.
8. Repairs and Maintenance.
a) Tenant shall, throughout the Term and at Tenant's
sole cost and expense, keep and maintain the Premises in a neat and orderly
condition; and, upon expiration of the Term, Tenant shall leave the Premises in
good order and condition, ordinary wear and tear, damage by fire or other
casualty alone excepted, and for that purpose and except as stated, Tenant will
make all necessary repairs and replacements. Tenant shall not permit any waste,
damage or injury to the Premises. Tenant shall not use or permit the use of any
portion of the Common Facilities for other than their intended use as specified
by the Landlord from time to time.
b) Landlord shall, throughout the Term, make all
necessary repairs to the structural elements of the Premises and other
improvements located on the Property; provided, however, that Landlord shall
have no responsibility to make any repairs unless and until Landlord receives
written notice of the need for such repair or otherwise has actual knowledge of
the need for such repair. Landlord shall keep and maintain all Common Facilities
of the Property and any sidewalks, parking areas, curbs and access ways
adjoining the Property in a clean and orderly condition, free of accumulation of
dirt and rubbish and shall keep and maintain all landscaped areas within the
Property in a neat and orderly condition.
c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, repairs and
replacements to the Premises and the Property arising out of or caused by
Tenant's use, manner of use or occupancy of the Premises, by Tenant's
installation of alterations, additions, improvements, trade fixtures or
equipment in or upon the Premises or by any act or omission of Tenant or any
employee, agent, contractor or invitee of Tenant shall be made at Tenant's sole
cost and expense and Tenant shall pay Landlord the cost of any such repair or
replacement, as Additional Rent, upon demand.
9. Utilities and Services.
a) Landlord shall furnish the Premises with electricity,
heating and air conditioning for the normal use and occupancy of the Premises as
general offices and labs 24 hours per day 7 days per week throughout the Term.
Tenant agrees to pay as Additional Rent all charges for electricity, light, heat
or other utility used by Tenant at the Premises. Tenant shall pay for the
consumption of such gas and electricity based upon its metered usage. If no
meter is installed, Tenant shall pay its Proportionate Share of any utility
charges covering the Demised Premises and the remainder of the Building.
7
Landlord shall have the right to make an equitable allocation of the utility
charges for utilities which are not separately submetered based upon a utility
survey or meters. Tenant shall pay all bills for separately metered utility
usage within thirty (30) days after receipt thereof, and any non-payment or late
payment of such utility bills shall be deemed a default under the terms of this
Lease. All charges for installation and repairs of any meters servicing the
Premises shall be payable by Tenant as Additional Rent and shall be paid when
the same shall become due.
b) Within the Common Facilities of the Building,
Landlord shall furnish reasonably: (i) adequate electricity, (ii) hot and cold
water, (iii) lavatory supplies, (iv) automatically operated elevator service,
(v) normal and customary cleaning services (on a five-day a week basis) after
business hours, (vi) heat and air conditioning in season, (vii) landscaping,
(viii) parking lot maintenance, (ix) common area maintenance and (x) snow and
ice removal. Tenant shall be responsible for its Proportionate Share of the cost
of such services in accordance with Section 6(b) hereof. Landlord shall provide
janitorial service to the Premises, five days per week, after regular business
hours, and the costs of such service will be passed through to Tenant as set
forth in Section 6. Tenant shall be permitted to contract for its own janitorial
services in which event Tenant shall receive a credit against Fixed Basic Rent
in the amount of $0.90 per rentable square foot of the Premises and the Expense
Stop shall be reduced to $3.35 per rentable square foot of the Premises.
c) Landlord shall not be liable for any damages to
Tenant resulting from the quality, quantity, failure, unavailability or
disruption of any services beyond the reasonable control of Landlord and the
same shall not constitute a termination of this Lease or an actual or
constructive eviction or entitle Tenant to an abatement of rent. Landlord shall
not be responsible for providing any services not specifically provided for in
this Lease.
d) Landlord's services shall be provided in a manner
consistent with the operation of comparable buildings in the competitive area of
the Building. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease,
if (i) Landlord ceases to furnish any service in the Building, and Tenant
notifies Landlord of such cessation in writing (the "Interruption Notice"), (ii)
such cessation does not arise as a result of the gross negligence of Tenant
(iii) such cessation is not caused by a fire or other casualty (in which case
Section 15 shall control), (iv) the repair or restoration of such service is
reasonably within the control of Landlord, and (v) as a result of such
cessation, the Premises or material portion thereof, is rendered untenatable
(meaning that Tenant is unable to use the Premises or a substantial portion
thereof in the normal course of its business) and Tenant, in fact ceases to use
the Premises, or material portion thereof, then, commencing on the fifth (5")
Business Day after the later to occur of the date the Premises (or material
portion thereof) becomes untenatable, the date Tenant ceases to use such space
and the date Tenant provides Landlord with an Interruption Notice, all rent
hereunder shall be abated on a per diem basis for each day of such interruption
based upon the percentage of the Premises so rendered untenantable and not used
by Tenant and such abatement shall continue until the date the Premises becomes
tenantable again. In making all repairs and restorations hereunder, and in
fulfilling its obligations under this
8
Lease, Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to minimize the disruption of
Tenant's use and enjoyment of the Premises.
10. Governmental Regulations.
a) Landlord and Tenant shall comply with all laws,
ordinances, notices, orders, rules, regulations and requirements of all federal,
state and municipal government or any department, commission, board of officer
thereof, or of the National Board of Fire Underwriters or any other body
exercising similar functions, relating to the Premises or to the use or manner
of use of the Property. Tenant shall not knowingly do or commit, or suffer to be
done or committed anywhere in the Building, any act or thing contrary to any of
the laws, ordinances, regulations and requirements referred to in this Section.
Tenant shall give Landlord prompt written notice of any accident in the Premises
and of any breakage, defect or failure in any of the systems or equipment
servicing the Premises or any portion of the Premises.
b) Tenant shall pay its Proportionate Share of the cost
of capital improvements which Landlord shall install or construct in compliance
with governmental requirements which take effect after the commencement of the
Term hereof. Tenant's Proportionate Share shall be determined based upon the
estimated life of the capital investment item, determined by Landlord in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and shall include a
cost of capital funds adjustment equal to the rate of Interest on the
unamortized portion of all such costs. Tenant shall only have to pay for the
portion of the useful life of the capital improvement which falls within the
Term. Tenant shall thus make payments in equal annual installments for such
capital improvements until the Term expires or until the cost of the improvement
has been fully paid for, whichever first occurs; such payments shall be computed
by Landlord at the time of installation of the capital improvement in the same
manner as Landlord makes computations of Tenant's share of the Annual Operating
Costs pursuant to Section 6(b) (ii).
c) Tenant shall pay all taxes imposed upon Tenant's
furnishings, trade fixtures, equipment or other personal property.
11. Signs. Except for signs which are located wholly within the
interior of the Premises and which are not visible from the exterior of the
Premises, Tenant shall not place, erect, maintain or paint any signs upon the
Premises or the Property unless the design of such signs are approved by
Landlord in writing which approval may be withheld in Landlord's sole
discretion. Tenant shall be solely responsible for all costs and expenses
associated with the erection of any signs upon the Premises and shall be
obligated to obtain and provide to Landlord any and all necessary permits prior
to the placement or erection of such signs. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Tenant shall be permitted (at its sole cost and expense) to place its name (as
directed by Landlord) on any Building monument sign erected at the Building by
Landlord which contains the names of tenants in the Building. In addition,
Tenant may place its name and logo on the door
9
to its Premises such signage to be generally consistent with the Building
standard signage.

12. Alterations, Additions and Fixtures.
a) Tenant shall have the right to install in the
Premises any trade fixtures; provided, however, that no such installation and no
removal thereof shall be permitted which affects any structural component of the
Building or Premises and that Tenant shall repair and restore any damage or
injury to the Premises or the Property caused by installation or removal.
b) Tenant shall not make or permit to be made any
alterations, improvements or additions to the Premises or Property without on
each occasion first presenting plans and specifications to Landlord and
obtaining Landlord's prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed, but may be conditioned upon compliance with reasonable
requirements of Landlord including, without limitation, the filing of mechanics'
lien waivers by Tenant's contractors and the submission of written evidence of
adequate insurance coverage naming Landlord as an additional insured thereunder.
If Landlord consents to any proposed alterations, improvements or additions or
Tenant's contractor performs any of the work identified in Section 3 of this
Lease Agreement, then Tenant shall make the proposed alterations, improvements
and additions at Tenant's sole cost and expense provided that: (i) Tenant
supplies any necessary permits; (ii) such alterations and improvements do not,
in Landlord's judgment, impair the structural strength of the Building or any
other improvements or reduce the value of the Property; (iii) Tenant takes or
causes to be taken all steps that are otherwise required by Section 13 of this
Lease and that are required or permitted by law in order to avoid the imposition
of any mechanic's, laborer's or materialman's lien upon the Premises or the
Property; (iv) Tenant uses a contractor approved by Landlord; (v) the occupants
of the Building and of any adjoining real estate owned by Landlord are not
unreasonably annoyed or disturbed by such work; (vi) the alterations,
improvements or additions shall be installed in accordance with the approved
plans and specifications and completed according to a construction schedule
approved by Landlord; and (vii) Tenant provides insurance of the types and
coverage amounts required by Landlord. Any and all alterations, improvements and
additions to the Premises which are constructed, installed or otherwise made by
Tenant shall be the property of Tenant until the expiration or sooner
termination of this Lease; at that time all such alterations and additions shall
remain on the Premises and become the property of Landlord without payment by
Landlord unless, upon approval, Landlord instructs Tenant to remove the same at
the termination of the Lease in which event Tenant will remove such alterations,
improvements and additions, and repair and restore any damage to the Property
caused by the installation or removal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant,
without Landlord's consent, may make alterations, improvements and additions to
the Premises which are non structural, non adverse, do not affect the base
Building systems and which do not cost in the aggregate (per project) more than
$50,000.00. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease,
Landlord may withhold its approval to any proposed alterations, additions or
improvements to the Premises in its absolute and sole discretion with respect to
any such alteration, addition or improvement which Landlord determines involves
any modification to the Building's exterior or its structural, electrical,
11
mechanical or plumbing systems, or any components thereof.
13. Mechanic's Liens. Tenant shall promptly pay any contractors and
materialmen who supply labor, work or materials to Tenant at the Premises or the
Property so as to minimize the possibility of a lien attaching to the Premises
or the Property. Tenant shall take all steps permitted by law in order to avoid
the imposition of any mechanic's, laborer's or materialman's lien upon the
Premises or the Property. Should any such lien or notice of lien be filed for
work performed for Tenant other than by Landlord, Tenant shall cause such lien
or notice of lien to be discharged of record by payment, deposit, bond or
otherwise within fifteen (15) days after the filing thereof or after Tenant's
receipt of notice thereof, whichever is earlier, regardless of the validity of
such lien or claim. If Tenant shall fail to cause such lien or claim to be
discharged and removed from record within such fifteen (15) day period, then,
without obligation to investigate the validity thereof and in addition to any
other right or remedy Landlord may have, Landlord may, but shall not be
obligated to, contest the lien or claim or discharge it by payment, deposit,
bond or otherwise; and Landlord shall be entitled to compel the prosecution of
an action for the foreclosure of such lien by the lienor and to pay the amount
of the judgment in favor of the lienor with interest and costs. Any amounts so
paid by Landlord and all costs and expenses including, without limitation,
attorneys' fees incurred by Landlord in connection therewith, together with
Interest from the respective dates of Landlord's making such payment or
incurring such cost or expense, which shall constitute Additional Rent payable
hereunder promptly upon demand therefore. Nothing in this Lease is intended to
authorize Tenant to do or cause any work or labor to be done or any materials to
be supplied for the account of Landlord, all of the same to be solely for
Tenant's account and at Tenant's risk and expense. Further, notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, nothing contained in or
contemplated by this Lease shall be deemed or construed in any way to constitute
the consent or request by Landlord for the performance of any work or services
or the furnishing of any materials for which any lien could be filed against the
Premises or the Building or the Property or any part of any thereof, nor as
giving Tenant any right, power or authority to contract or permit the
performance of any work or services or the furnishing of any materials for which
any lien could be filed against the Premises, the Building, the Property or any
part of any thereof. Throughout this Lease the term "mechanic's lien" is used to
include any lien, encumbrance or charge levied or imposed upon the Premises or
the Property or any interest therein or income therefrom on account of any
mechanic's, laborer's or materialman's lien or arising out of any debt or
liability to or any claim or demand of any contractor, mechanic, supplier,
materialman or laborer and shall include without limitation any mechanic's
notice of intention given to Landlord or Tenant, any stop order given to
Landlord or Tenant, any notice of refusal to pay naming Landlord or Tenant and
any injunctive or equitable action brought by any person entitled to any
mechanic's lien.
14. Landlord's Right of Entry.
a) Tenant shall permit Landlord and the authorized
representatives of Landlord and of any mortgagee or any prospective mortgagee to
enter the Premises at all reasonable times, with 24 hour notice to Tenant
(except in the event of an emergency), for
12
the purpose of (i) inspecting the Premises or (ii) making any necessary repairs
to the Premises or to the Building and performing any work therein. In all
events Landlord shall comply, to the extent practical under the conditions, with
all reasonable safety precautions Tenant may establish from time to time. During
the progress of any work on the Premises or the Building, Landlord shall use its
reasonable best efforts not to inconvenience Tenant, but shall not be liable for
inconvenience, annoyance, disturbance, loss of business or other damage to
Tenant by reason of making any repair or by bringing or storing materials,
supplies, tools and equipment in the Premises during the performance of any
work, and the obligations of Tenant under this Lease shall not be thereby
affected in any manner whatsoever.
b) Landlord shall have the right at all reasonable times
to, with prior notice to Tenant, enter and to exhibit the Premises for the
purpose of inspection or showing the Premises in connection with a sale or
mortgage and, during the last six (6) months of the Term, to enter upon and to
exhibit the Premises to any prospective tenant.
15. Damage by Fire or Other Casualty.
a) If the Premises or Building is damaged or destroyed
by fire or other casualty, Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord whereupon
Landlord shall, subject to the consent of Landlord's present or future mortgagee
and to the conditions set forth in this Section 15, repair, rebuild or replace
such damage and restore the Premises to substantially the same condition as the
Premises were in immediately prior to such damage or destruction; provided,
however, that Landlord shall only be obligated to restore such damage or
destruction to the extent of the proceeds of fire and other extended coverage
insurance policies. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Premises is destroyed
or damaged to the extent that in Landlord's sole judgment the Premises cannot be
repaired or restored within one hundred eighty (180) days after such casualty,
Landlord or Tenant may, subject to the rights of Landlord's mortgagee, terminate
this Lease by written notice to Tenant within sixty (60) days after the date of
such casualty. In the event such restoration or repair cannot be completed prior
to eighteen (18) months prior to the last day of the Term, Landlord may
terminate this Lease upon written notice to Tenant, except that Tenant may cause
Landlord to withdraw its notice of termination (provided in this sentence only)
by electing to extend the Term of this Lease pursuant to any option to extend
the Term.
b) The repair, rebuilding or replacement work shall be
commenced promptly and completed with due diligence, taking into account the
time required by Landlord to effect a settlement with, and procure insurance
proceeds from, the insurer, and for delays beyond Landlord's reasonable control.
c) The net amount of any insurance proceeds recovered by
reason of the damage or destruction of the Building (meaning the gross insurance
proceeds excluding proceeds received pursuant to a rental coverage endorsement
and the cost of adjusting the insurance claim and collecting the insurance
proceeds) shall be applied towards the cost of restoration. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Lease Agreement, if in
13
Landlord's sole opinion the net insurance proceeds will not be adequate to
complete such restoration, Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease
and all the unaccrued obligations of the parties hereto by sending a written
notice of such termination to Tenant specifying a termination date no less than
ten (10) days after its transmission; provided, however, that Tenant may require
Landlord, except during the last two (2) years of the Term, to withdraw the
notice of termination by agreeing to pay the cost of restoration in excess of
the net insurance proceeds and by giving Landlord adequate security for such
payment prior to the termination date specified in Landlord's notice of
termination. If the net insurance proceeds are more than adequate, the amount by
which the net insurance proceeds exceed the cost of restoration will be retained
by Landlord or applied to repayment of any mortgage secured by the Premises.
d) Landlord's obligation or election to restore the
Premises under this Section shall be subject to the terms of any present or
future mortgage affecting the Premises and to the mortgagee's consent if
required in the mortgage and shall not, in any event, include the repair,
restoration or replacement of the fixtures, improvements, alterations, furniture
or any other property owned, installed, made by, or in the possession of Tenant.
e) Landlord shall maintain insurance against loss or
damage to the Building by fire and such other casualties as may be included
within fire and extended coverage insurance or all-risk insurance, together with
a rental coverage endorsement or other comparable form of coverage. If Tenant is
dispossessed of the Premises due to fire or other casualty, Tenant will receive
an abatement of its Fixed Basic Rent during the period Tenant is dispossessed to
the extent of payments received by Landlord from the carrier providing the
rental coverage endorsement.
16. Non-Abatement of Rent. Except as otherwise expressly provided in
subsection 9(d), subsection 15(e) and as to condemnation in subsections 18(a)
and (b) there shall be no abatement or reduction of the Fixed Basic Rent,
Additional Rent or other sums payable hereunder for any cause whatsoever and
this Lease shall not terminate, nor shall Tenant be entitled to surrender the
Premises, in the event of fire, casualty or condemnation or any default by
Landlord under this Lease.
17. Indemnification
a) Unless such loss, costs or damages were caused by
negligence of Landlord, its employees, agents or contractors, Tenant hereby
agrees to indemnify, defend and hold the Landlord and its employees, agents and
contractors harmless from any loss, costs and damages (including reasonable
attorney's fees and costs) suffered by Landlord, its agents, employees or
contractors, as a result of any claim by a third party, its agents, employees or
contractors arising from Tenant's occupancy of the Premises. Tenant shall have
the right to designate counsel acceptable to Landlord, such approval not be
unreasonably withheld, to assume the defense of any such third party claim on
behalf of itself and Landlord. Landlord shall not have the right to settle any
claim without the consent of Tenant. This indemnity shall survive the expiration
or termination of this Lease.
14
b) Unless such loss, costs or damages were caused by
negligence of Tenant, its employees, agents or contractors, Landlord hereby
agrees to indemnify, defend and hold the Tenant and its employees, agents and
contractors harmless from any loss, costs and damages (including reasonable
attorney's fees and costs) suffered by Tenant, its agents, employees or
contractors, as a result of any claim by a third party, its agents, employees or
contractors arising from Landlord's ownership of the Property. Landlord shall
have the right to designate counsel acceptable to Tenant, such approval not be
unreasonably withheld, to assume the defense of any such third party claim on
behalf of itself and Tenant. Tenant shall not have the right to settle any claim
without the consent of Landlord. This indemnity shall survive the expiration or
termination of this Lease.
b) If Landlord brings any action under this Lease
Agreement, Tenant agrees in each case to pay Landlord's reasonable attorney's
fees and other costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection therewith;
provided, however, the Landlord prevails in such action.
18. Condemnation.
a)Termination. If (i) all of the Premises are covered
by a condemnation; or (ii) any of the Premises is covered by a condemnation and
the remaining part is insufficient for the reasonable operation therein of
Tenant's business; or (iii) subject to the provisions of subsection 1 8(b)(i)
hereof, any of the Property is covered by a condemnation and, in Landlord's sole
opinion, it would be impractical or the condemnation proceeds are insufficient
to restore the remainder of the Property; then, in any such event, this Lease
shall terminate and all obligations hereunder shall cease as of the date upon
which possession is taken by the condemnor. Upon such termination the Fixed
Basic Rent and all Additional Rent herein reserved shall be apportioned and paid
in full by Tenant to Landlord to that date and all such rent prep aid for
periods beyond that date shall forthwith be repaid by Landlord to Tenant. In the
event such restoration cannot be completed prior to eighteen (18) months prior
to the last day of the Term, Landlord may terminate this Lease upon written
notice to Tenant, except that Tenant may cause Landlord to withdraw its notice
of termination provided in this sentence only) by electing to extend the Term of
this Lease pursuant to any option to extend the Term.
b) Partial Condemnation.
i) If there is a partial condemnation and Landlord decides
to terminate pursuant to subsection 18(a) (iii) hereof then Tenant may require
Landlord, except during the last two (2) years of the Term, to withdraw its
notice of termination by: [A] giving Landlord written notice thereof within ten
(10) days from transmission of Landlord's notice to Tenant of Landlord's
intention to terminate, [B] agreeing to pay the cost of restoration in excess of
the condemnation proceeds reduced by those sums
15
expended by Landlord in collecting the condemnation proceeds, and [C] giving
Landlord adequate security for such payment within such ten (10) day period.
ii) If there is a partial condemnation and this Lease has
not been terminated pursuant to subsection (a) hereof, Landlord shall restore
the Building and the improvements which are part of the Premises to a condition
and size as nearly comparable as reasonably possible to the condition and size
thereof immediately prior to the date upon which possession shall have been
taken by the condemnor; provided, however, that Landlord shall only be obligated
to restore such damage from condemnation to the extent possible with the award
damage. If the condemnation proceeds are more than adequate to cover the cost of
restoration and the Landlord's expenses in collecting the condemnation proceeds,
any excess proceeds shall be retained by Landlord or applied to repayment of any
mortgage secured by the Premises.
iii) If there is a partial condemnation and this Lease has
not been terminated by the date upon which the condemnor obtains possession, the
obligations of Landlord and Tenant under this Lease shall be unaffected by such
condemnation except that there shall be an equitable abatement for the balance
of the Term of the Fixed Basic Rent according to the value of the Premises
before and after the date upon which the condemnor takes possession. In the
event that the parties are unable to agree upon the amount of such abatement,
either party may submit the issue to arbitration.
c) Award. In the event of a condemnation affecting
Tenant, Tenant shall have the right to make a claim against the condemnor for
removal expenses and moving expenses, loss of business and any other claims
Tenant may have; provided and to the extent, however, that such claims or
payments do not reduce the sums otherwise payable by the condemnor to Landlord.
Except as aforesaid, Tenant hereby waives all claims against Landlord and
against the condemnor, and Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord all claims against
the condemnor including, without limitation, all claims for leasehold damages
and diminution in value of Tenant's leasehold interest.
19. Quiet Enjoyment. Tenant, upon paying the Fixed Basic Rent,
Additional Rent and other charges herein required and observing and keeping all
covenants, agreements and conditions of this Lease, shall quietly have and enjoy
the Premises during the Term without hindrance or molestation by anyone claiming
by or through Landlord, subject, however, to the exceptions, reservations and
conditions of this Lease.
20. Rules and Regulations. The Landlord hereby reserves the right to
prescribe, from time to time, at its sole discretion, reasonable rules and
regulations (herein called the "Rules and Regulations") attached hereto as
Exhibit B governing the use and enjoyment of the Premises and the remainder of
the Property. The Rules and Regulations shall not materially interfere with the
Tenant's use and enjoyment of the Premises in accordance with the provisions of
this Lease for the Permitted Use and shall not increase or modify Tenant's
obligations under this Lease. In the event of a conflict between the Lease
Agreement and such rules and regulations, the Lease Agreement shall control. The
Tenant shall comply at all times with the Rules and Regulations and shall cause
its
16
agents, employees, invitees, visitors, and guests to do so.
21. Assignment and Sublease. Tenant may assign or sublease the within
Lease to any party subject to the following:
a) In the event Tenant desires to assign this Lease or
sublease seventy percent (70%) or more of the Premises to any other party,
Tenant shall provide written notice of the terms and conditions of such
assignment or sublease to Landlord prior to the effective date of any such
sublease or assignment, and, prior to such effective date, the Landlord shall
have the option, exercisable by written notice to Tenant within ten (10)
business days of Landlord's receipt of written notice from Tenant, to: (i)
sublease such space from Tenant at the lower rate of (a) the rental rate per
rentable square foot of Fixed Basic Rent and Additional Rent then payable
pursuant to this Lease or (b) the terms set forth in the proposed sublease (ii)
recapture (in the case of subletting) that portion of the Premises to be sublet
or all of the Premises (in the case of an assignment) ("Recapture Space") so
that such prospective subtenant or assignee shall then become the sole Tenant of
Landlord hereunder, or (iii) recapture the Recapture Space for Landlord's own
use, whereupon Tenant shall be fully released from any and all obligations
hereunder with respect to the Recapture Space.
b) In the event that the Landlord elects not to
recapture the Lease as hereinabove provided, the Tenant may nevertheless assign
this Lease or sublet the whole or any portion of the Premises, subject to the
Landlord's prior written consent, on the basis of the following terms and
conditions:
i) The Tenant shall provide to the Landlord the name and
address of the assignee or subtenant.
ii) The assignee or subtenant shall assume, by written
instrument, all of the obligations of this Lease, and a copy of such assumption
agreement shall be furnished to the Landlord within ten (10) days of its
execution. Any sublease shall expressly acknowledge that said subtenant's rights
against Landlord shall be no greater than those of Tenant.
iii) The Tenant and each assignee shall be and remain liable
for the observance of all the covenants and provisions of this Lease, including,
but not limited to, the payment of Fixed Basic Rent and Additional Rent reserved
herein, through the entire Term of this Lease, as the same may be renewed,
extended or otherwise modified.
iv) The Tenant and any assignee shall promptly pay to
Landlord fifty percent (50%) of the net profit received from such subleasing or
assignment. Net profit will be calculated after deducting the Tenant's direct
costs of implementing the sublease or assignment.
v) In any event, the acceptance by the Landlord of any
rent from the assignee or from any of the subtenants or the failure of the
Landlord to insist upon a strict
17
performance of any of the terms, conditions and covenants herein shall not
release the Tenant herein, nor any assignee assuming this Lease, from any and
all of the obligations herein during and for the entire Term of this Lease.
vi) Tenant acknowledges that its sole remedy with respect
to any assertion that Landlord's failure to consent to any sublet or assignment
is unreasonable shall be the remedy of specific performance and Tenant shall
have no other claim or cause of action against Landlord as a result of
Landlord's actions in refusing to consent thereto.
c) If Tenant is a corporation other than a corporation
whose stock is listed and traded on a nationally recognized stock exchange, the
provisions of subsection a hereof shall apply to a transfer (however
accomplished, whether in a single transaction or in a series of related or
unrelated transactions) of stock (or any other mechanism such as, by way of
example, the issuance of additional stock, a stock voting agreement or change in
class(es) of stock) which results in a change of control of Tenant as if such
transfer of stock (or other mechanism) which results in a change of control of
Tenant were an assignment of this Lease, and if Tenant is a partnership or joint
venture, said provisions shall apply with respect to a transfer (by one or more
transfers) of an interest in the distributions of profits and losses of such
partnership or joint venture (or other mechanism, such as, by way of example,
the creation of additional general partnership or limited partnership interests)
which results in a change of control of such a partnership or joint venture, as
if such transfer of an interest in the distributions of profits and losses of
such partnership or joint venture which results in a change of control of such
partnership or joint venture were an assignment of this Lease; but said
provisions shall not apply to transactions with a corporation into or with which
Tenant is merged or consolidated or to which all or substantially all of
Tenant's assets are transferred or to any corporation which controls or is
controlled by Tenant or is under common control with Tenant, provided that in
the event of such merger, consolidation or transfer of all or substantially all
of Tenant's assets (i) the successor to Tenant has a net worth computed in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles at least equal to the
greater of (1) the net worth of Tenant immediately prior to such merger,
consolidation or transfer, or (2) the net worth of Tenant herein named on the
date of this Lease, and (ii) proof satisfactory to Landlord of such net worth
shall have been delivered to Landlord at least ten (10) days prior to the
effective date of any such transaction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant
may assign its rights under this lease to an entity which is in common control
with Tenant, is controlled by Tenant or controls Tenant as well as to an entity
in which Tenant or any of the foregoing is a principal investor provided,
however, no such assignment shall relieve Tenant or Guarantor of its obligations
hereunder.
d) In the event that any or all of Tenant1s interest in
the Premises and/or this Lease is transferred by operation of law to any
trustee, receiver, or other representative or agent of Tenant, or to Tenant as a
debtor in possession, and subsequently any or all of Tenant's interest in the
Premises and/or this Lease is offered or to be offered by Tenant or any trustee,
receiver, or other representative or agent of Tenant as to its estate or
property (such person, firm or entity being hereinafter referred to as the
"Grantor", for assignment, conveyance, lease, or other disposition to a person,
firm or entity other than Landlord (each
18
such transaction being hereinafter referred to as a "Disposition"), it is agreed
that Landlord has and shall have a right of first refusal to purchase, take, or
otherwise acquire, the same upon the same terms and conditions as the Grantor
thereof shall accept upon such Disposition to such other person, firm, or
entity; and as to each such Disposition the Grantor shall give written notice to
Landlord in reasonable detail of all of the terms and conditions of such
Disposition within twenty (20) days next following its determination to accept
the same but prior to accepting the same, and Grantor shall not make the
Disposition until and unless Landlord has failed or refused to accept such right
of first refusal as to the Disposition, as set forth herein. Landlord shall have
sixty (60) days next following its receipt of the written notice as to such
Disposition in which to exercise the option to acquire Tenant's interest by such
Disposition, and the exercise of the option by Landlord shall be effected by
notice to that effect sent to the Grantor; but nothing herein shall require
Landlord to accept a particular Disposition or any Disposition, nor does the
rejection of any one such offer of first refusal constitute a waiver or release
of the obligation of the Grantor to submit other offers hereunder to Landlord.
In the event Landlord accept such offer of first refusal, the transaction shall
be consummated pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Disposition described
in the notice to Landlord. In the event Landlord rejects such offer of first
refusal, Grantor may consummate the Disposition with such other person, firm, or
entity; but any decrease in price of more than two percent (2%) of the price
sought from Landlord or any change in the terms of payment for such Disposition
shall constitute a new transaction requiring a further option of first refusal
to be given to Landlord hereunder.
e) Without limiting any of the provisions of this
Section 21, if pursuant to the Federal Bankruptcy Code (herein referred to as
the "Code"), or any similar law hereafter enacted having the same general
purpose, Tenant is permitted to assign this Lease notwithstanding the
restrictions contained in this Lease, adequate assurance of future performance
by an assignee expressly permitted under such Code shall be deemed to mean the
deposit of cash security in an amount equal to the sum of one year's Fixed Basic
Rent plus an amount equal to the Additional Rent for the calendar year preceding
the year in which such assignment is intended to become effective, which deposit
shall be held by Landlord for the balance of the Term, without interest, as
security for the full performance of all of Tenant's obligations under this
Lease, to be held and applied in the manner specified for any security deposit
required hereunder.
f) Except as specifically set forth above, no portion of
the Premises or of Tenant's interest in this Lease may be acquired by any other
person or entity, whether by assignment, mortgage, sublease, transfer, operation
of law or act of the Tenant, nor shall Tenant pledge its interest in this Lease
or in any security deposit required hereunder.
22. Tenant's Relocation. [Intentionally Deleted]
23. Subordination. This Lease and Tenant's rights hereunder shall be
subject and subordinate at all times in lien and priority to any first mortgage
or other primary encumbrance now or hereafter placed upon or affecting the
Property or the Premises, and to any second mortgage or encumbrance with the
consent of the first mortgagee, and to all renewals, modifications,
consolidations and extensions thereof, without the necessity
19
of any further instrument or act on the part of Tenant. Tenant shall execute and
deliver upon demand any further instrument or instruments confirming the
subordination of this Lease to the lien of any such first mortgage or to the
lien of any other mortgage, if requested to do so by Landlord with the consent
of the first mortgagee, and any further instrument or instruments of attorument
that may be desired by any such mortgagee or Landlord, provided, however, that
any holder of such lien or mortgage agrees not to disturb the use and occupancy
of the Premises in accordance with the terms of this Lease Agreement upon any
foreclosure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any mortgagee may at any time
subordinate its mortgage to this Lease, without Tenant's consent, by giving
notice in writing to Tenant and thereupon this Lease shall be deemed prior to
such mortgage without regard to their respective dates of execution and
delivery. In that event such mortgagee shall have the same rights with respect
to this Lease as though this Lease had been executed prior to the execution and
delivery of the mortgage and had been assigned to such mortgagee. Landlord
agrees that it will use best efforts to obtain and deliver to Tenant a
subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement from the holder(s) of
any mortgage or other security interest affecting the Premises of Building.
24. Curing Tenant's Defaults. If Tenant defaults in the performance of
any of its obligations hereunder, Landlord may, without any obligation to do so
and in addition to any other rights it may have in law or equity, elect to cure
such default on behalf of Tenant after reasonable prior written notice (except
in the case of emergency) to Tenant. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord upon demand
for any sums paid or costs incurred by Landlord in curing such default,
including interest thereon from the respective dates of Landlord's making the
payments and incurring such costs, which sums and costs together with interest
thereon shall be deemed Additional Rent payable within ten (10) days of demand.
25. Surrender.
a) At the expiration or earlier termination of the Term
Tenant shall promptly yield up the Premises and all improvements, alterations
and additions thereto, and all fixtures and equipment including all hoods and
casework (excluding Tenant's personalty) servicing the Premises in a condition
which is clean of garbage and debris and broom clean and in the same condition,
order and repair in which they are required to be kept throughout the Term,
ordinary wear and tear excepted.
b) If Tenant, or any person claiming through Tenant,
continues to occupy the Premises after the expiration or earlier termination of
the Term or any renewal thereof without prior written consent of Landlord, the
tenancy under this Lease shall become, at the option of Landlord, expressed in a
written notice to Tenant and not otherwise, either from month-to-month or for a
period of one (1) year, terminable by Landlord on thirty (30) days prior notice,
under the same terms and conditions set forth in this Lease; except, however,
that the Fixed Basic Rent during such continued occupancy shall be 150% of the
amount set forth in subsection 6(a) and Tenant shall indemnify Landlord for any
actual loss or damage incurred by reason of Tenant's failure to surrender the
Premises. Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, any holding over by Tenant
without Landlord's
20
prior written consent shall constitute a default hereunder and shall be subject
to all the remedies set forth in subsection 26(b) hereof.
26. Defaults-Remedies.
a) Defaults. It shall be an event of default (an "Event
of Default") under this Lease if any one or more of the following events occurs:
i) Tenant fails to pay in full, after five (5) days prior
written notice from Landlord, any and all installments of Fixed Basic Rent or
Additional Rent or any other charges or payments due and payable under this
Lease whether or not herein included as rent.
ii) Tenant violates or fails to perform or otherwise
breaches any agreement, term, covenant or condition contained in this Lease,
within fifteen (15) days after prior written notice from Landlord.
iii)Tenant abandons or vacates the Premises without notice
without having first paid to Landlord in full all Fixed Basic Rent, Additional
Rent and other charges that have become due as well as all which will become due
thereafter through the end of the Term.
iv) Tenant becomes insolvent or bankrupt in any sense or
makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors or if a petition in bankruptcy
or for reorganization or for an arrangement with creditors under any federal or
state law is filed by or against Tenant, or a xxxx in equity or other proceeding
for the appointment of a receiver or similar official for any of Tenant's assets
is commenced, or if any of the real or personal property of Tenant shall be
levied upon by any sheriff, marshal or constable; provided, however, that any
proceeding brought by anyone other than the parties to this Lease under any
bankruptcy, reorganization arrangement, insolvency, readjustment, receivership
or similar law shall not constitute an event of default until such proceeding,
decree, judgment or order has continued unstayed for more than sixty (60)
consecutive days.
v) Any of the events enumerated in subsections (a) (i)
through (a) (iv) of this Section happen to any guarantor of this Lease.
b) Remedies. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default
under this Lease, Landlord shall have all of the following rights:
i) Landlord may charge a late payment charge of five (5%)
percent of any amount owed to Landlord pursuant to this Lease which is not paid
within five (5) days of the due date which is set forth in the Lease or, if a
due date is not specified in this Lease, within thirty (30) days of the mailing
of a xxxx therefor by Landlord. If Landlord incurs a late charge in connection
with any payment which Tenant has failed to make within the times required in
this Lease, Tenant shall pay Landlord, in addition to such
21
payment due, the full amount of such late charge incurred by Landlord. Nothing
in this Lease shall be construed as waiving any rights of Landlord arising out
of any default of Tenant, by reason of Landlord's imposing or accepting any such
late charge(s) and/or interest; the right to collect such late charge(s) and/or
interest is separate and apart from any rights relating to remedies of Landlord
after default by Tenant including, without limitation, the rights and remedies
of Landlord provided herein.
ii) Landlord may accelerate the whole or any part of the
Fixed Basic Rent and all Additional Rent for the entire unexpired balance of the
Term of this Lease, as well as all other charges, payments, costs and expenses
herein agreed to be paid by Tenant, and any Fixed Basic Rent or other charges,
payments, costs and expenses so accelerated shall, in addition to any and all
installments of rent already due and payable and in arrears and any other charge
or payment herein reserved, included or agreed to be treated or collected as
rent and any other charge, expense or cost herein agreed to be paid by Tenant
which may be due and payable and in arrears, be deemed due and payable as if,
by the terms and provisions of this Lease, such accelerated rent and other
charges, payments, costs and expenses were on that date payable in advance.
iii) Landlord may re-enter the Premises and, at the option
of Landlord, remove all persons and all or any property therefrom, either by
summary dispossess proceedings or by any suitable action or proceeding at law or
otherwise, without being liable for prosecution or damages therefor, and
Landlord may repossess and enjoy the Premises. Upon recovering possession of the
Premises by reason of or based upon or arising out of a default on the part of
Tenant, Landlord may, at Landlord's option, either terminate this Lease or make
such alterations and repairs as may be necessary in order to relet the Premises
and may relet the Premises or any part or parts thereof, either in Landlord's
name or otherwise, for a term or terms which may, at Landlord's option, be less
than or exceed the period which would otherwise have constituted the balance of
the Term of this Lease and at such rent or rents and upon such other terms and
conditions as in Landlord's sole discretion may seem advisable and to such
person or persons as may in Landlord's discretion seem best; upon each such
reletting all rents received by Landlord from such reletting shall be applied as
follows: first, to the payment of any costs and expenses of such reletting,
including all costs of alterations and repairs; second, to the payment of any
indebtedness other than Fixed Basic Rent, Additional Rent or other charges due
hereunder from Tenant to Landlord; third, to the payment of Fixed Basic Rent,
Additional Rent and other charges due and unpaid hereunder; and the residue, if
any, shall be held by Landlord and applied in payment of future rent as it may
become due and payable hereunder. If rentals received from reletting during any
month are less than that to be paid during that month by Tenant, Tenant shall
pay any such deficiency to Landlord. Such deficiency shall be calculated and
paid monthly. No such re-entry or taking possession of the Premises or the
making of alterations or improvements thereto or the reletting thereof shall be
construed as an election on the part of Landlord to terminate this Lease unless
written notice of termination is given to Tenant. Landlord shall in no event be
liable in any way whatsoever for failure to relet the Premises or, in the event
that the Premises or any part or parts thereof are relet, for failure to collect
the rent thereof under such releffing.
22
Notwithstanding any such reletting without termination, Landlord may at any time
thereafter elect to terminate this Lease for such previous breach.
iv) Landlord may terminate this Lease and the Term without
any nght on the part of Tenant to waive the forfeiture by payment of any sum due
or by other performance of any condition, term or covenant broken. Upon such
termination, Landlord shall be entitled to recover, in addition to any and all
sums and damages for violation of Tenant's obligations hereunder in existence at
the time of such termination, damages for Tenant's default in an amount equal to
the amount of the Fixed Basic Rent and Additional Rent reserved for the balance
of the Term, as well as all other charges, payments, costs and expenses herein
agreed to be paid by Tenant all of which amount shall be immediately due and
payable from Tenant to Landlord upon demand therefor.
v) WHEN THIS LEASE AND THE TERM OR ANY
EXTENS ION OR RENEWAL THEREOF SHALL HAVE BEEN TERMINATED ON ACCOUNT OF ANY
DEFAULT BY TENANT, OR WHEN THE TERM HAS EXPIRED, IT SHALL BE LAWFUL FOR ANY
ATTORNEY OF ANY COURT OF RECORD TO APPEAR AS ATTORNEY FOR TENANT AS WELL AS FOR
ALL PERSONS CLAIMING BY, THROUGH OR UNDER TENANT, AND TO FILE AN AGREEMENT FOR
ENTERING IN ANY COMPETENT COURT AN ACTION FOR JUDGMENT IN EJECTMENT AGAINST
TENANT AND ALL PERSONS CLAIMING BY, THROUGH OR UNDER TENANT FOR THE RECOVERY BY
LANDLORD OF POSSESSION OF THE PREMISES, FOR WHICH THIS LEASE SHALL BE A
SUFFICIENT WARRANT; WHEREUPON, IF LANDLORD SO DESIRES, AN APPROPRIATE WRIT OF
POSSESSION MAY ISSUE FORTHWITH, WITHOUT ANY PRIOR WRIT OR PROCEEDING WHATSOEVER,
AND PROVIDED THAT IS 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 DEFAULT AND UPON ANY
SUBSEQUENT DEFAULT OR DEFAULTS, OR UPON THE TERMINATION OF THIS LEASE OR
TENANT'S RIGHT OF POSSESSION AS HEREINBEFORE SET FORTH, TO BRING ONE OR MORE
FURTHER ACTIONS IN EJECTMENT AS HEREINBEF ORE SET FORTH TO CONFESS JUDGMENT FOR

BETWEEN LANDLORD AND TENANT THAT (A) THEY HEREBY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY
ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTER-CLAIM BROUGHT BY EITHER OF THE PARTIES HERETO
AGAINST THE OTHER ON ANY MATTER WHATSOEVER ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY
CONNECTED WITH THIS LEASE, THE RELATIONSHIP OF LANDLORD AND TENANT, TENANT'S USE
OF OCCUPANCY OF THE PREMISES OR CLAIM OF INJURY OR DAMAGE, AND (B) IN ANY ACTION
BY LANDLORD AGAINST TENANT, THE LEGAL FEES OF THE
23
PREVAILING PARTY WILL BE PAID BY THE OTHER PARTY TO THE ACTION.
d) Non-Waiver. No waiver by Landlord of any breach by
Tenant of any of Tenant's obligations, agreements or covenants herein shall be a
waiver of any subsequent breach or of any other obligation, agreement or
covenant, nor shall any forbearance by Landlord to seek a remedy for any event
of default by Tenant be a waiver by Landlord of any rights and remedies with
respect to such or any subsequent event of default.
e) Rights and Remedies Cumulative. No right or remedy
herein conferred upon or reserved to Landlord is intended to be exclusive of any
other right or remedy provided herein or by law, but each shall be cumulative

RIDER A
RENEWAL OPTION: Tenant is hereby granted two (2) options to renew this Lease
upon the following terms and conditions:
At the time of the exercise of each option to renew and at the time of the said
renewal, the Tenant shall not be in default in accordance with the terms and
provisions of this Lease, and shall be in possession of the Premises pursuant to
this Lease.
Notice of the exercise of the option shall be sent to the Landlord in writing at
{east nine (9) months but not more than twelve (12) months before the expiration
of the term of this Lease.
Each renewal term shall be for a period of five (5) years3 to commence at the
expiration of the Term of this Lease, and all of the terms and conditions of
this Lease, other than the Fixed Basic Rent, shall apply during any such renewal
term.
The annual fixed basic rent to be paid during the first renewal term shall not
be less than Twenty Two Dollars ($22.00) per rentable square foot of the
Premises. The annual fixed basic rent to be paid during the second renewal term
shall not be less than the Fixed Basic Rent paid during the last year of the
first renewal term. However, if the fair rental value per square foot at the
commencement of either renewal term shall exceed the rent as established in the
preceding sentences, the Tenant shall pay such fair rental value. In determining
the fair rental value, the Landlord shall noh~ Tenant of the fair rental value
as established by Landlord. Should Tenant dispute Landlord's determination, then
the Tenant shall be free to, at the Tenant's sole cost and expense, employ the
services of an appraiser familiar with office buildings located within the
metropolitan Philadelphia, Pennsylvania area comparable to the Building, who
shall be a member of MAI and who shall render an appraisal. If the Landlord and
the Tenant's appraiser cannot agree on the fair rental value, or in such case,
on an independent appraiser acceptable to both, either party may request the
American Arbitration Association to appoint such independent appraiser who shall
be a member of MAI farniliar with office buildings in the area of the Building
who shall render an appraisal, and in such event the judgment of a majority of
the three appraisers shall be final and binding upon the parties. The parties
shall share equally in the cost of any such independent appraiser. Pending
resolution of the issue of fair rental value, the Tenant shall pay the Landlord
as of commencement of the renewal term, the Fixed Basic Rent as established by
Landlord, subject to retroactive adjustment upon final determination of this
issue.

modified, revoked or terminated except in writing signed by Guarantor and
Landlord.
