2. Premises. Landlord leases to Tenant and Tenant leases from Landlord the Premises, together with the right in common with others to use the Common Areas, Tenant accepts the Premises, Building and Common Areas “AS IS”, without relying on any representation, covenant or warranty by Landlord other than as expressly set forth in this Lease. Prior to the Commencement Date, Landlord shall confirm in writing the exact number of square feet of rentable area included in the Premises, which shall be measured in accordance with the American National Standards Institute, Inc./Building Owners and Managers Association standard method of measuring floor area, ANSI/BOMA Z65.1-1996 for single office tenants (“BOMA”),
3. Use. Tenant shall occupy and use the Premises only for the Use specified in Section 1 above and for any other purpose approved by Landlord, which approval may be granted or withheld in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion. Tenant shall not permit any conduct or condition which may endanger, disturb or otherwise interfere with any other Building occupant’s normal operations or with the management of the Building. Tenant shall not use or permit the use of any portion of the Property for outdoor storage or installations outside of the Premises. Tenant may use all Common Areas only for their intended purposes. Landlord shall have exclusive control of all Common Areas at all times.
4. Term; Possession. The Term of this Lease shall commence on the Commencement Date and shall end on the Expiration Date, unless sooner terminated in accordance with this Lease. If Landlord is delayed in delivering possession of all or any portion of the Premises to Tenant as of the Commencement Date, Tenant will take possession on the date Landlord delivers possession, which date will then become the Commencement Date (and the Expiration Date will be extended so that the length of the Term remains unaffected by such delay). Landlord shall not be liable for any loss or damage to Tenant resulting from any delay in delivering possession due to the holdover of any existing tenant or other circumstances outside of Landlord’s reasonable control.
5. Rent.
     (a) Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord, without demand, deduction or offset (except as otherwise expressly provided herein), Minimum Annual Rent and Annual Operating Expenses for the Term. Tenant shall pay the Monthly Rent, in advance, on the first day of each calendar month during the Term, at Landlord’s address designated in Section 1 above unless Landlord designates otherwise in writing; provided that Monthly Rent for the first full month shall be paid at the signing of this Lease. If the Commencement Date is not the first day of the month, the Monthly Rent for that partial month shall be apportioned on a per diem basis and shall be paid on or before the Commencement Date. Tenant shall pay Landlord a service and handling charge equal to 5% of any Rent not paid within 5 business days after the date due, In addition, any Rent, including such charge, not paid within 5 business days after the due date will bear interest at the Interest Rate from the date due to the date paid. If any taxes, special assessments, fees or other charges are imposed against Landlord by any authority with respect to the Rent, Tenant will pay these amounts to Landlord when due. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5 to the contrary, Landlord shall waive such late fee and default interest the first (lst) time in any twelve (12) month period that Tenant fails to make a payment as aforesaid.
     (b) In the event Tenant institutes an independent action against Landlord and is awarded a money judgment, and provided that such judgment is either affirmed on appeal by the highest court for which an appeal thereof may be filed or the time for filing such an appeal has expired, then in such event, and only in such event, if Landlord fails to pay such judgment within thirty (30) days after the same is entered into, Tenant may deduct the amount of such money judgment from the next monthly installment or installments of Monthly Rent due hereunder.
6. Operating Expenses.
     (a) The amount of the Annual Operating Expenses set forth in Section l(g) above represents Tenant’s Share of the estimated Operating Expenses for the calendar year in which the Term commences. At the beginning of the first calendar year after the Commencement Date and at the beginning of each calendar year thereafter during the Term, Landlord shall submit a statement setting forth the estimated Operating Expenses for such calendar year. Landlord may adjust such amount from time to time, in its reasonable discretion, if the estimated Annual Operating Expenses increase or decrease; Landlord may also invoice Tenant separately from time to time for Tenant’s Share of any extraordinary or unanticipated Operating Expenses. By March 31st of each year (and as soon as practical after the expiration or termination of this Lease or, at Landlord’s option, after a sale of the Property), Landlord shall provide Tenant with a statement of Operating Expenses for the preceding calendar year or part thereof. Within 30 days after delivery of the statement to Tenant, Landlord or Tenant shall pay to the other the amount of any overpayment or deficiency then due from one to the other or, at Landlord’s option, Landlord may credit Tenant’s account for any overpayment. Landlord’s and Tenant’s obligation to pay any overpayment or deficiency due the other pursuant to this Section shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease to the contrary, Landlord may, in its reasonable discretion, determine from time to time the method of computing and allocating Operating Expenses, including the method of allocating Operating Expenses to various

2

 

types of space within the Building to reflect any disparate levels of services provided to different types of space. If the Building is not fully occupied during any period, Landlord may make a reasonable adjustment based on occupancy in computing the Operating Expenses for such period so that Operating Expenses are computed as though the Building had been fully occupied. If the Term commences or expires on a day other than the first day or the last day of a calendar year, respectively, then Tenant’s liabilities pursuant to this Section for such calendar year shall be apportioned by multiplying the respective amount of Tenant’s Share thereof for the full calendar year by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days during such calendar year falling within the Lease Term, and the denominator of which is three hundred sixty-five (365).
     (b) For a period of ninety (90) days after Tenant’s receipt of a statement of Operating Expenses for a calendar year, Tenant, or an independent, certified public accountant who is hired by Tenant on a noncontingent fee basis, shall have the right, after giving at least ten (10) days’ advance written notice to Landlord, to inspect and complete an audit of Landlord’s books and records relating to Operating Expenses. Tenant shall keep the results of any such audit confidential. If such audit shows that the amounts paid by Tenant to Landlord on account of Operating Expenses exceed the amounts to which Landlord is entitled hereunder, Landlord shall credit the amount of such excess toward the next monthly payment of rent due hereunder, or, in the case of an audit for the calendar year in which the Term expires, Landlord shall pay Tenant the amount of such excess within thirty (30) days after written request therefor. All costs and expenses of any such audit shall be paid by Tenant.
7. Utilities; Services; Building Security System.
     (a) Tenant shall pay for water, sewer, gas, electricity, heat, power, telephone and other communication services and any other utilities supplied to the Premises. Except to the extent Landlord elects to provide any such services and invoice Tenant for the cost or include the cost in Operating Expenses, Tenant shall obtain service in its own name and timely pay all charges directly to the provider. Landlord shall not be responsible or liable for any interruption in such services, nor shall such interruption affect the continuation or validity of this Lease. Landlord shall have the exclusive right to select, and to change, the companies providing such services to the Building or Premises, with reasonable advance written notice to Tenant. Any wiring, cabling or other equipment necessary to connect Tenant’s telecommunications equipment shall be Tenant’s responsibility, and shall be installed in a manner approved by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
     (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 7(a) above to the contrary, if (i) any of the foregoing services are interrupted for a period of more than five (5) consecutive days as a result of Landlord’s (or its agents’ or employees’) negligence or willful misconduct, (ii) Landlord has not commenced or is not diligently pursuing curing such interruption, and (iii) such interruption renders all or a substantial portion of the Premises untenantable by Tenant, then, Tenant shall be entitled to a pro rata abatement of rent beginning on the sixth (6th) consecutive day that the Premises are untenantable and continuing until the use of the Premises is restored to Tenant.
     (c) Tenant shall have access to the Building twenty-four (24) hours per day each day of the year. Tenant shall have the right, at its sole cost and expense, to install a controlled access system in the Building. Such access system shall be subject to Landlord’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. At Landlord’s sole discretion, Tenant shall be obligated to remove the access system and restore or replace all parts of the building impacted by such system’s installation, Tenant shall provide Landlord with a master access key so that Landlord shall have access to the Premises at all times to the extent permitted by the terms of this Lease.
8. Insurance; Waivers; Indemnification.
     (a) Landlord shall maintain insurance against loss or damage to the Building or the Property with coverage for perils as set forth under the “Causes of Loss-Special Form” or equivalent property insurance policy in an amount equal to the full insurable replacement cost of the Building (excluding coverage of Tenant’s personal property and any Alterations by Tenant), and such other insurance, including rent loss coverage, as Landlord may reasonably deem appropriate or as any Mortgagee may require.
     (b) Tenant, at its expense, shall keep in effect commercial general liability insurance, including blanket contractual liability insurance, covering Tenant’s use of the Property, with such coverages and limits of liability as Landlord may reasonably require, but not less than combined single limits of $2,000,000 per occurrence and $5,000,000 in the aggregate for bodily injury or property damage; however, such limits shall not limit Tenant’s liability hereunder. Any general aggregate limit shall apply on a “per location” basis. The policy shall name Landlord, Liberty Property Trust and any other associated or affiliated entity as their interests may appear and at Landlord’s request, any Mortgagee(s), as additional insureds with respect to the Premises, shall be written on an “occurrence” basis and not on a “claims made” basis and shall be

3

 

endorsed to provide that it is primary to and not contributory to any policies carried by Landlord and to provide that it shall not be cancelable or reduced without at least 30 days prior notice to Landlord. The insurer shall be authorized to issue such insurance, licensed to do business and admitted in the state in which the Property is located and rated at least A VII in the most current edition of Best’s Insurance Reports. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord on or before the Commencement Date or any earlier date on which Tenant accesses the Premises, and at least 30 days prior to the date of each policy renewal, a certificate of insurance evidencing such coverage.
     (c) Landlord and Tenant each waive, and release each other from and against, all claims for recovery against the other for any loss or damage to the property of such party arising out of fire or other casualty coverable by a standard “Causes of Loss-Special Form” property insurance policy with, in the case of Tenant, such endorsements and additional coverages as are considered good business practice in Tenant’s business, even if such loss or damage shall be brought about by the fault or negligence of the other party or its Agents; provided, however, such waiver by Landlord shall not be effective with respect to Tenant’s liability described in Sections 9(b) and 10(d) below. This waiver and release is effective regardless of whether the releasing party actually maintains the insurance described above in this subsection and is not limited to the amount of insurance actually carried, or to the actual proceeds received after a loss. Each party shall have its insurance company that issues its property coverage waive any rights of subrogation, and shall have the insurance company include an endorsement acknowledging this waiver, if necessary. Tenant assumes all risk of damage of Tenant’s property within the Property, including any loss or damage caused by water leakage, fire, windstorm, explosion, theft, act of any other tenant, or other cause.
     (d) Subject to subsection (c) above, and except to the extent caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or its Agents, Tenant will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Landlord and its Agents from and against any and all claims, actions, damages, liability and expense (including reasonable fees of attorneys, investigators and experts) which may be asserted against, imposed upon, or incurred by Landlord or its Agents and arising out of or in connection with loss of life, personal injury or damage to property in or about the Premises or arising out of the occupancy or use of the Property by Tenant or its Agents or occasioned wholly or in part by any negligent act or omission of Tenant or its Agents, whether prior to, during or after the Term, Tenant’s obligations pursuant to this subsection shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease.
     (e) Subject to subsection (c) above, and except to the extent caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or its Agents, Landlord will protect, indemnify and hold harmless Tenant and its Agents from and against any and all claims, actions, damages, liability and expense (including reasonable fees of attorneys, investigators and experts) in connection with loss of life, personal injury or damage to property caused to any person in or about the Property occasioned wholly or in part by the negligence of Landlord or its Agents. Landlord’s obligations pursuant to this Section shall survive the expiration or termination of this lease.
9. Maintenance and Repairs.
     (a) Landlord shall Maintain the: (i) Building footings, foundations, structural steel columns and girders at Landlord’s sole expense; (ii) Building roof and exterior walls; (iii) Building Systems; and (iv) Common Areas. Except as otherwise provided herein, costs incurred by Landlord under the foregoing subsections (ii), (iii) and (iv) will be included in Operating Expenses, provided that to the extent any heating, ventilation and air conditioning system, or other Building System, equipment or fixture exclusively serves the Premises, Landlord may elect either to Maintain the same at Tenant’s sole expense and ▇▇▇▇ Tenant directly or by notice to Tenant require Tenant to Maintain the same at Tenant’s expense. If Tenant becomes aware of any condition that is Landlord’s responsibility to repair, Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord of the condition.
     (b) Except as provided in subsection (a) above, Tenant at its sole expense shall Maintain the Premises and all fixtures and equipment in the Premises. All repairs and replacements by Tenant shall utilize materials and equipment which are comparable to those originally used in constructing the Building and Premises, Alterations, repairs and replacements to the Property, including the Premises, made necessary because of Tenant’s Alterations or installations, any use or circumstances special or particular to Tenant, or any negligent act or willful misconduct of Tenant or its Agents shall be made by Landlord or Tenant as set forth above, but at the sole expense of Tenant.
10. Compliance.
     (a) Tenant will, at its expense, promptly comply with all Laws now or subsequently pertaining to the Premises or Tenant’s use or occupancy. Tenant will pay any taxes or other charges by any authority on Tenant’s property or trade fixtures or relating to Tenant’s use of the Premises, Neither Tenant nor its Agents shall use the Premises in any manner that under any applicable Law would require Landlord to make any Alteration to or in the Building or Common Areas (without

4

 

limiting the foregoing, Tenant shall not use the Premises in any manner that would cause the Premises or the Property to be deemed a “place of public accommodation” under the ADA if such use would require any such Alteration). Tenant shall be responsible for compliance with the ADA, and any other Laws regarding accessibility, with respect to the Premises.
     (b) Tenant will comply, and will cause its Agents to comply, with the Building Rules.
     (c) Tenant agrees not to do anything or fail to do anything which will increase the cost of Landlord’s insurance or which will prevent Landlord from procuring policies (including public liability) from companies and in a form reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, If any breach of the preceding sentence by Tenant causes the rate of fire or other insurance to be increased, Tenant shall pay the amount of such increase as additional Rent within 30 days after being billed.
     (d) Tenant agrees that (i) no activity will be conducted on the Premises that will use or produce any Hazardous Materials, except for activities which are part of the ordinary course of Tenant’s business and are conducted in accordance with all Environmental Laws (“Permitted Activities”); (ii) the Premises will not be used for storage of any Hazardous Materials, except for materials used in the Permitted Activities which are properly stored in a manner and location complying with all Environmental Laws; (iii) no portion of the Premises or Property will be used by Tenant or Tenant’s Agents for disposal of Hazardous Materials; (iv) Tenant will deliver to Landlord copies of all Material Safety Data Sheets and other written information prepared by manufacturers, importers or suppliers of any chemical used or stored at the Property by Tenant or Tenant’s Agents; and (v) Tenant will immediately notify Landlord of any violation by Tenant or Tenant’s Agents of any Environmental Laws or the release or suspected release of Hazardous Materials in, under or about the Premises, and Tenant shall immediately deliver to Landlord a copy of any notice, filing or permit sent or received by Tenant with respect to the foregoing. If at any time during or after the Term, any portion of the Property is found to be contaminated by Tenant or Tenant’s Agents or subject to conditions prohibited in this Lease caused by Tenant or Tenant’s Agents, Tenant will indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless from all claims, demands, actions, liabilities, costs, expenses, reasonable attorneys’ fees, damages and obligations of any nature arising from or as a result thereof, and Landlord shall have the right to direct remediation activities, all of which shall be performed at Tenant’s cost. Tenant’s obligations pursuant to this subsection shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease.
     (e) Landlord shall comply with all applicable Laws to the extent same applies to any portion of the Building and the Common Areas which Landlord is required by this Lease to maintain.
11. Signs. Tenant shall not place any signs on the Property without the prior consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, other than signs that are located wholly within the interior of the Premises and not visible from the exterior of the Premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 11, Tenant shall have the sole and exclusive right to install one (1) sign approved by Landlord identifying Tenant on the exterior of the Building, provided Tenant shall obtain all necessary permits and approvals. The sign approved by Landlord shall be installed by Tenant at Tenant’s sole cost and expense and shall be removed by Tenant at Tenant’s sole cost and expense prior to the expiration or earlier termination of the Term. Tenant shall maintain all signs installed by Tenant in good condition. Tenant shall remove its signs at the termination of this Lease, shall repair any resulting damage, and shall restore the Property to its condition existing prior to the installation of Tenant’s signs.
12. Alterations. Except for cosmetic Alterations (such as painting, wall covering and floor covering) that (i) are not visible from the exterior of the Premises, (ii) do not affect the structure of the Building or any Building System, (iii) do not require penetrations into the floor, ceiling or walls, and (iv) do not require work within the walls, below the floor or above the ceiling, Tenant shall not make or permit any Alterations in or to the Premises without first obtaining Landlord’s consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. With respect to any Alterations made by or on behalf of Tenant (whether or not the Alteration requires Landlord’s consent): (i) not less than 10 days prior to commencing any Alteration. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord the plans, specifications and necessary permits for the Alteration, together with certificates evidencing that Tenant’s contractors and subcontractors have adequate insurance coverage naming Landlord, Liberty Property Trust and any other associated or affiliated entity as their interests may appear as additional insureds, (ii) Tenant shall obtain Landlord’s prior written approval of any contractor or subcontractor, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, (iii) the Alteration shall be constructed with new materials, in a good and workmanlike manner, and in compliance with all Laws and the plans and specifications delivered to, and, if required above, approved by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and (iv) Tenant shall pay Landlord all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses in connection with Landlord’s review of Tenant’s plans and specifications, and of any supervision or inspection of the construction Landlord reasonably deems necessary. Any Alteration by Tenant shall be the property of Tenant until the expiration or termination of this Lease; at that time without payment by Landlord the Alteration shall remain on the Property and become the property of Landlord unless Landlord gives notice to Tenant to remove it, in which event Tenant will remove it, will repair any resulting damage and will restore the Premises to the condition existing prior to Tenant’s Alteration. At Tenant’s request prior to Tenant making any Alterations,

5

 

Landlord will notify Tenant whether Tenant is required to remove the Alterations at the expiration or termination of this Lease. Tenant may install its trade fixtures, furniture and equipment in the Premises, provided that the installation and removal of them will not adversely affect any structural portion of the Property, any Building System or any other equipment or facilities serving the Building or any occupant.
13. Mechanics’ Liens. Tenant promptly shall pay for any labor, services, materials, supplies or equipment furnished to Tenant in or about the Premises. Tenant shall keep the Premises and the Property free from any liens arising out of any labor, services, materials, supplies or equipment furnished or alleged to have been furnished to Tenant. Tenant shall take all steps permitted by law in order to avoid the imposition of any such lien. Should any such lien or notice of such lien be filed against the Premises or the Property, Tenant shall discharge the same by bonding or otherwise within 15 days after Tenant has notice that the lien or claim is filed regardless of the validity of such lien or claim.
14. Landlord’s Right of Entry. Tenant shall permit Landlord and its Agents to enter the Premises at all reasonable times following reasonable notice (except in an emergency) to inspect, Maintain, or make Alterations to the Premises or Property, to exhibit the Premises for the purpose of sale or financing, and, during the last 12 months of the Term, to exhibit the Premises to any prospective tenant. Landlord will make reasonable efforts not to inconvenience Tenant in exercising such rights, but Landlord shall not be liable for any interference with Tenant’s occupancy resulting from Landlord’s entry.
15. Damage by Fire or Other Casualty. If the Premises or Common Areas shall be damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty, Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord, and Landlord, subject to the conditions set forth in this Section, shall repair such damage and restore the Premises or Common Areas to substantially the same condition in which they were immediately prior to such damage or destruction, but not including the repair, restoration or replacement of the fixtures, equipment, or Alterations installed by or on behalf of Tenant. Landlord shall notify Tenant, within 30 days after the date of the casualty, if Landlord anticipates that the restoration will take more than 180 days from the date of the casualty to complete; in such event, either Landlord or Tenant (unless the damage was caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant) may terminate this Lease effective as of the date of casualty by giving notice to the other within 10 days after Landlord’s notice, If a casualty occurs during the last 12 months of the Term, Landlord may terminate this Lease unless Tenant has the right to extend the Term for at least 2 more years and does so within 30 days after the date of the casualty. Moreover, Landlord may terminate this Lease if the loss is not covered by the insurance required to be maintained by Landlord under this Lease. Tenant will receive an abatement of Minimum Annual Rent and Annual Operating Expenses to the extent the Premises are rendered untenantable as a result of the casualty.
16. Condemnation. If (a) all of the Premises are Taken, (b) any part of the Premises is Taken and the remainder is insufficient in Landlord’s and Tenant’s opinion for the reasonable operation of Tenant’s business, or (c) any of the Property is Taken, and, in Landlord’s and Tenant’s opinion, it would be impractical or the condemnation proceeds are insufficient to restore the remainder, then this Lease shall terminate as of the date the condemning authority takes possession. If this Lease is not terminated, Landlord shall restore the Building to a condition as near as reasonably possible to the condition prior to the Taking, the Minimum Annual Rent shall be abated for the period of time all or a part of the Premises is untenantable in proportion to the square foot area untenantable, and this Lease shall be amended appropriately. The compensation awarded for a Taking shall belong to Landlord. Except for any relocation benefits and the value of any furniture, furnishings, equipment and fixtures installed in the Premises at Tenant’s expense to which Tenant may be entitled, Tenant hereby assigns all claims against the condemning authority to Landlord, including, but not limited to, any claim relating to Tenant’s leasehold estate.
17. Quiet Enjoyment. Landlord covenants that Tenant, upon performing all of its covenants, agreements and conditions of this Lease, shall have quiet and peaceful possession of the Premises as against anyone claiming by or through Landlord, subject, however, to the terms of this Lease.
18. Assignment and Subletting.
     (a) Except as provided in Section (b) below, Tenant shall not enter into nor permit any Transfer voluntarily or by operation of law, without the prior consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Without limitation, Tenant agrees that Landlord’s consent shall not be considered unreasonably withheld if (i) the business, business reputation or creditworthiness of the proposed transferee is unacceptable to Landlord in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, or (ii) an Event of Default exists under this Lease. A consent to one Transfer shall not be deemed to be a consent to any subsequent Transfer. In no event shall any Transfer relieve Tenant from any obligation under this Lease. Landlord’s acceptance of Rent from any person shall not be deemed to be a waiver by Landlord of any provision of this Lease or to be a consent to any Transfer. Any Transfer not in conformity with this Section 18 shall be void at the option of Landlord.

6

 

     (b) Landlord’s consent shall not be required in the event of any Transfer by Tenant to an Affiliate provided that (i) Tenant provides Landlord notice of the Transfer at least 15 days prior to the effective date, together with current financial statements of the Affiliate certified by an executive officer of the Affiliate, and (ii) in the case of an assignment or sublease, Tenant delivers to Landlord an assumption agreement reasonably acceptable to Landlord executed by Tenant and the Affiliate, together with a certificate of insurance evidencing the Affiliate’s compliance with the insurance requirements of Tenant under this Lease.
     (c) The provisions of subsection (a) above notwithstanding, if Tenant proposes to Transfer all of the Premises (other than to an Affiliate), Landlord may terminate this Lease, either conditioned on execution of a new lease between Landlord and the proposed transferee or without that condition. If Tenant proposes to enter into a Transfer of less than all of the Premises (other than to an Affiliate), Landlord may amend this Lease to remove the portion of the Premises to be transferred, either conditioned on execution of a new lease between Landlord and the proposed transferee or without that condition. If this Lease is not so terminated or amended, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, immediately upon receipt, fifty percent (50%) of the excess of (i) all compensation received by Tenant for the Transfer over (ii) the Rent allocable to the Premises transferred.
     (d) If Tenant requests Landlord’s consent to a Transfer, Tenant shall provide Landlord, at least 15 days prior to the proposed Transfer, current financial statements of the transferee certified by an executive officer of the transferee, a complete copy of the proposed Transfer documents, and any other information Landlord reasonably requests. Immediately following any approved assignment or sublease, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord an assumption agreement reasonably acceptable to Landlord executed by Tenant and the transferee, together with a certificate of insurance evidencing the transferee’s compliance with the insurance requirements of Tenant under this Lease. Tenant agrees to reimburse Landlord for reasonable administrative and attorneys’ fees in connection with the processing and documentation of any Transfer for which Landlord’s consent is requested. Any net profits from any Transfer, other than a Transfer to an Affiliate or an assignment in connection with the sale of Tenant’s business, shall be shared equally between Landlord and Tenant.
19. Subordination; Mortgagee’s Rights.
     (a) Tenant accepts this Lease subject and subordinate to any Mortgage now or in the future affecting the Premises, provided that Tenant’s right of possession of the Premises shall not be disturbed by the Mortgagee so long as no Event of Default exists under this Lease. This clause shall be self-operative, but within 10 business days after written request, Tenant shall execute and deliver any further instruments confirming the subordination of this Lease and any further instruments of attornment that the Mortgagee may reasonably request. However, any Mortgagee may at any time subordinate its Mortgage to this Lease, without Tenant’s consent, by giving notice to Tenant, and this Lease shall then be deemed prior to such Mortgage without regard to their respective dates of execution and delivery; provided that such subordination shall not affect any Mortgagee’s rights with respect to condemnation awards, casualty insurance proceeds, intervening liens or any right which shall arise between the recording of such Mortgage and the execution of this Lease. Landlord hereby represents and warrants that there is no Mortgagee as of the date of this Lease. Upon written request, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain from any future Mortgagee a non-disturbance agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Tenant.
     (b) No Mortgagee shall be (i) liable for any act or omission of a prior landlord, (ii) subject to any rental offsets or defenses against a prior landlord, (iii) bound by any amendment of this Lease made without its written consent, or (iv) bound by payment of Monthly Rent more than one month in advance or liable for any other funds paid by Tenant to Landlord unless such funds actually have been transferred to the Mortgagee by Landlord.
     (c) The provisions of Sections 15 and 16 above notwithstanding, Landlord’s obligation to restore the Premises after a casualty or condemnation shall be subject to the consent and prior rights of any Mortgagee.
20. Tenant’s Certificate; Financial Information. Within 10 business days after Landlord’s written request from time to time, (a) Tenant shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord, for the benefit of Landlord, Mortgagee, any prospective Mortgagee, and any prospective purchaser of Landlord’s interest in the Property, an estoppel certificate in the form of attached Exhibit “C” (or other form reasonably requested by Landlord), modified as necessary to accurately state the facts represented, and (b) Tenant shall furnish to Landlord, Landlord’s Mortgagee, prospective Mortgagee and/or prospective purchaser reasonably requested financial information.

21. Surrender.
     (a) On the date on which this Lease expires or terminates, Tenant shall return possession of the Premises to Landlord in good condition, except for ordinary wear and tear, and except for casualty damage or other conditions that Tenant is not required to remedy under this Lease. Prior to the expiration or termination of this Lease, Tenant shall remove from the Property all furniture, trade fixtures, equipment, and all other personal property installed by Tenant or its assignees or subtenants. Tenant shall not be required to remove its wiring and cabling unless Tenant cuts or damages such wiring and cabling, in which case Tenant shall be required to remove such wiring and cabling prior to the expiration or termination of this Lease. Tenant shall repair any damage resulting from such removal and shall restore the Property to good order and condition, Any of Tenant’s personal property not removed as required shall be deemed abandoned, and Landlord, at Tenant’s expense, may remove, store, sell or otherwise dispose of such property in such manner as Landlord may see fit and/or Landlord may retain such property or sale proceeds as its property. If Tenant does not return possession of the Premises to Landlord in the condition required under this Lease, Tenant shall pay Landlord all resulting damages Landlord may suffer.
     (b) If Tenant remains in possession of the Premises after the expiration or termination of this Lease, Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises shall be that of a tenancy at will. Tenant’s occupancy during any holdover period shall otherwise be subject to the provisions of this Lease (unless clearly inapplicable), except that the Monthly Rent shall be one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Monthly Rent payable for the last full month immediately preceding the holdover. No holdover or payment by Tenant after the expiration or termination of this Lease shall operate to extend the Term or prevent Landlord from immediate recovery of possession of the Premises by summary proceedings or otherwise. Any provision in this Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, any holdover by Tenant shall constitute a default on the part of Tenant under this Lease entitling Landlord to exercise, without obligation to provide Tenant any notice or cure period, all of the remedies available to Landlord in the event of a Tenant default, and Tenant shall be liable for all damages, including consequential damages, that Landlord suffers as a result of the holdover.
22. Defaults — Remedies.
     (a) It shall be an Event of Default:
     (i) If Tenant does not pay in full when due any and all Rent and, except as provided in Section 22(c) below, Tenant fails to cure such default on or before the date that is 5 days after Landlord gives Tenant written notice of default;
     (ii) If Tenant enters into or permits any Transfer in violation of Section 18 above;
     (iii) If Tenant fails to observe and perform or otherwise breaches any other provision of this Lease, and, except as provided in Section 22(c) below, Tenant fails to cure the default on or before the date that is 20 days after Landlord gives Tenant written notice of default; provided, however, if the default cannot reasonably be cured within 20 days following Landlord’s giving of written notice, Tenant shall be afforded additional reasonable time (not to exceed 75 days following Landlord’s notice) to cure the default if Tenant begins to cure the default within 20 days following Landlord’s written notice and continues diligently in good faith to completely cure the default; or
     (iv) If Tenant becomes insolvent or makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors or offers a settlement to creditors, or if a petition in bankruptcy or for reorganization or for an arrangement with creditors under any federal or state law is filed by or against Tenant, or a ▇▇▇▇ in equity or other proceeding for the appointment of a receiver for any of Tenant’s assets is commenced, or if any of the real or personal property of Tenant shall be levied upon; provided that any proceeding brought by anyone other than Landlord or Tenant under any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law shall not constitute an Event of Default until such proceeding has continued unstayed for more than 90 consecutive days.
     (b) If an Event of Default occurs, Landlord shall have the following rights and remedies:
     (i) Landlord, without any obligation to do so, may elect to cure the default on behalf of Tenant, in which event Tenant shall reimburse Landlord upon demand for any sums paid or reasonable, out-of-pocket costs incurred by Landlord (together with an administrative fee of 15% thereof) in curing the default, plus interest at the Interest Rate from the respective dates of Landlord’s incurring such costs, which sums and costs together with interest at the Interest Rate shall be deemed additional Rent;

8

 

     (ii) To enter and repossess the Premises, by breaking open locked doors if necessary, and remove all persons and all or any property, by action at law or otherwise, without being liable for prosecution or damages. Landlord may, at Landlord’s option, make Alterations and repairs in order to relet the Premises and relet all or any part(s) of the Premises for Tenant’s account. Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord on demand any deficiency (taking into account all reasonable costs incurred by Landlord) that may arise by reason of such reletting. In the event of reletting without termination of this Lease, Landlord may at any time thereafter elect to terminate this Lease for such previous breach. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to relet the Premises or any part thereof, alone or together with other premises, for such term or terms (which may include concessions or free rent and alterations to the Premises) as Landlord may determine, in its sole discretion, but Landlord shall not be liable for, nor shall Tenant’s obligations hereunder be diminished by reason of, any failure by Landlord to relet the Premises or any failure by Landlord to collect any rent due upon such reletting and Landlord shall not be required to re-let the Premises in preference to other space that it may have vacant;
     (iii) To accelerate the whole or any part of the Rent for the balance of the Term, and declare the same to be immediately due and payable (such accelerated Rent amount shall be discounted using a discount factor equal to the yield of the Treasury Note or ▇▇▇▇, as appropriate, having a maturity period approximately commensurate to the remainder of the Term); and
     (iv) To terminate this Lease and the Term without any right on the part of Tenant to save the forfeiture by payment of any sum due or by other performance of any condition, term or covenant broken.
     (c) Any provision to the contrary in this Section 22 notwithstanding, (i) Landlord shall not be required to give Tenant the notice and opportunity to cure provided in Section 22(a) above more than twice in any consecutive 12-month period, and thereafter Landlord may declare an Event of Default without affording Tenant any of the notice and cure rights provided under this Lease, and (ii) Landlord shall not be required to give such notice prior to exercising its rights under Section 22(b) if Tenant fails to comply with the provisions of Sections 13, 18 or 27 or in an emergency.
     (d) No waiver by Landlord of any breach by Tenant shall be a waiver of any subsequent breach, nor shall any forbearance by Landlord to seek a remedy for any breach by Tenant be a waiver by Landlord of any rights and remedies with respect to such or any subsequent breach. Efforts by Landlord to mitigate the damages caused by Tenant’s default shall not constitute a waiver of Landlord’s right to recover damages hereunder. No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to Landlord is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy provided herein or by law, but each shall be cumulative and in addition to every other right or remedy given herein or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity. No payment by Tenant or receipt or acceptance by Landlord of a lesser amount than the total amount due Landlord under this Lease shall be deemed to be other than on account, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or payment be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the balance of Rent due, or Landlord’s right to pursue any other available remedy.
     (e) If either party commences an action against the other party arising out of or in connection with this Lease, the prevailing party shall be entitled to have and recover from the other party reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs of suit, investigation expenses and discovery costs, including costs of appeal.
     (f) Landlord and Tenant waive the right to a trial by jury in any action or proceeding based upon or related to, the subject matter of this Lease.
23. Tenant’s Authority. Tenant represents and warrants to Landlord that: (a) Tenant is duly formed, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state under which Tenant is organized, and qualified to do business in the state in which the Property is located, and (b) the person(s) signing this Lease are duly authorized to execute and deliver this Lease on behalf of Tenant.
24. Liability of Landlord. The word “Landlord” in this Lease includes the Landlord executing this Lease as well as its successors and assigns, each of which shall have the same rights, remedies, powers, authorities and privileges as it would have had it originally signed this Lease as Landlord. Any such person or entity, whether or not named in this Lease, shall have no liability under this Lease after it ceases to hold title to the Premises except for obligations already accrued (and, as to any unapplied portion of Tenant’s Security Deposit, Landlord shall be relieved of all liability upon transfer of such portion to its successor in interest). Tenant shall look solely to Landlord’s successor in interest for the performance of the covenants and obligations of the Landlord hereunder which subsequently accrue. In no event shall Landlord be liable to Tenant for any loss of business or profits of Tenant or for consequential, punitive or special damages of any kind. Neither Landlord nor any principal of Landlord nor any owner of the Property, whether disclosed or undisclosed, shall have any personal liability with

9

 

respect to any of the provisions of this Lease or the Premises; Tenant shall look solely to the equity of Landlord in the Property for the satisfaction of any claim by Tenant against Landlord.
25. Miscellaneous.

This Lease shall not be modified in any manner except by an instrument in writing executed by the parties. The masculine (or neuter) pronoun and the singular number shall include the masculine, feminine and neuter genders and the singular and plural number. The word “including” followed by any specific item(s) is deemed to refer to examples rather than to be words of limitation.

Both parties having participated fully and equally in the negotiation and preparation of this Lease, this Lease shall not be more strictly construed, nor any ambiguities in this Lease resolved, against either Landlord or Tenant,
     (c) Each covenant, agreement, obligation, term, condition or other provision contained in this Lease shall be deemed and construed as a separate and independent covenant of the party bound by, undertaking or making the same, not dependent on any other provision of this Lease unless otherwise expressly provided. All of the terms and conditions set forth in this Lease shall apply throughout the Term unless otherwise expressly set forth herein.
     (d) If any provisions of this Lease shall be declared unenforceable in any respect, such unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of this Lease, and each such provision shall be deemed to be modified, if possible, in such a manner as to render it enforceable and to preserve to the extent possible the intent of the parties as set forth herein. This Lease shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the state in which the Property is located.
     (e) This Lease shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Landlord and Tenant and their respective heirs, personal representatives and permitted successors and assigns.

Any notice, consent or other communication under this Lease shall be in writing and addressed to Landlord or Tenant at their respective addresses specified in Section 1 above (or to such other address as either may designate by written notice to the other) with a copy to any Mortgagee or other party designated by Landlord in writing. Each notice or other communication shall be deemed given if sent by prepaid overnight delivery service or by certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, and shall be deemed to have been given on the day of actual delivery to the intended recipient or on the business day delivery is refused. The giving of notice by Landlord’s attorneys, representatives and agents under this Section shall be deemed to be the acts of Landlord.
27. Security Deposit. At the time of signing this Lease, Tenant shall deposit with Landlord the Security Deposit to be retained by Landlord as cash security for the faithful performance and observance by Tenant of the provisions of this Lease. Tenant shall not be entitled to any interest on the Security Deposit. Landlord shall have the right to commingle the Security Deposit with its other funds. Landlord may use the whole or any part of the Security Deposit for the payment of any loss or damage it may suffer by reason of an Event of Default under this Lease. If Landlord uses all or any portion of the Security Deposit as herein provided, within 10 days after written demand, Tenant shall pay Landlord cash in an amount equal to that portion of the Security Deposit used by Landlord, If no Event of Default then exists, the Security Deposit shall be returned to Tenant within 30 days after the Expiration Date and surrender of the Premises to Landlord.

30. Early Occupancy. Tenant and its authorized agents, employees and contractors shall at all reasonable times on or after March 1, 2005 and prior to the Commencement Date have the right, at Tenant’s own risk, expense and responsibility, to occupy the Premises, provided that in so doing Tenant shall not interfere with or delay the work to be performed by Landlord pursuant to Exhibit “E” hereof. If Tenant occupies the Premises prior to the Commencement Date, Tenant shall abide by the terms and conditions of this lease including payment of the Annual Operating Expenses and any other additional rent or sums payable by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to this lease, as if the term of this lease had already commenced, except that Tenant shall have no obligation to pay the Minimum Annual Rent or any portion thereof until the Commencement Date.
31. Intentionally Deleted.
32. Option to Terminate. Tenant shall have the right and option, exercisable by giving Landlord a minimum of six (6) months prior written notice thereof, to terminate this Lease at any time after the twenty fourth (24th) month of the Term and by paying Landlord Two hundred fifty thousand dollars ($250,000.00) payable within 60 days of the time of giving notice, Tenant shall pay all Rent under the lease and abide by all of the terms and conditions of this Lease through and including such early termination date and the effectiveness of such termination shall be conditioned upon Tenant’s curing any monetary defaults.

If and when any space in the building known as ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ (shown as “Additional Space” on Exhibit “D”) (the “Additional Space”) first becomes available for rental during the term of this lease and provided no Event of Default then exists, Tenant shall have the right of first offer to lease all of the Additional Space, subject to the following:
     (a) Landlord shall notify Tenant when the Additional Space first becomes available for rental by any party other than the tenant then in occupancy of the Additional Space, and the party having the Right of First Offer on the Additional Space has waived its right of offer. Tenant shall have seven (7) days following receipt of such notice within which to notify Landlord in writing that Tenant is interested in negotiating terms for leasing such Additional Space and to have its offer considered by Landlord prior to the leasing by Landlord of the Additional Space to a third party. If Tenant notifies Landlord within such time period that Tenant is so interested, then Landlord and Tenant shall have 30 days following Landlord’s receipt of such notice from Tenant within which to negotiate mutually satisfactory terms for the leasing of the Additional Space by Tenant and to execute an amendment to this lease incorporating such terms or a new lease for the Additional Space.
     (b) If Tenant does not notify Landlord within such 7 days of its interest in leasing the Additional Space or if Tenant does not execute such amendment or lease within such 30 days, if applicable, then this right of first offer to lease the Additional Space will lapse and be of no further force or effect and Landlord shall have the right to lease all or part of the Additional Space to any other party at any time on any terms and conditions acceptable to Landlord.
     (c) This right of first offer to lease the Additional Space is a one-time right if and when the Additional Space first becomes available, is personal to Tenant and is non-transferable to any assignee or sublessee (regardless of whether any such assignment or sublease was made with or without Landlord’s consent) or other party.

37. Landlord Default; Self Help. Landlord shall not be deemed to be in default under this Lease unless Tenant gives Landlord notice specifying the default and Landlord fails to cure the default within a reasonable period following Tenant’s notice. If Landlord fails to perform any of its obligations under this Lease and such failure materially interferes with Tenant’s use and enjoyment of the Premises, then, if such failure is not cured by Landlord within a reasonable period after Landlord is first given notice of such failure by Tenant, and Landlord is not working diligently to rectify the problem, Tenant may deliver written notice to Landlord stating that Tenant intends to cure such default. Prior to Tenant undertaking any action to cure or remedy such event or condition, Tenant shall first allow Landlord thirty (30) days following receipt by Landlord of such written notice to cure or remedy the event or condition specified in Tenant’s notice; provided, however, that if such event or condition cannot be cured within the thirty (30) day period, such period shall be extended for a reasonable additional time, so long as Landlord commences to cure such event or condition within the thirty (30) day period and proceeds diligently thereafter to effect such cure. If Landlord fails to cure or remedy such event or condition within such period, then Tenant may cure or remedy such event or condition and deliver an appropriately documented invoice to Landlord for the reasonable and actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Tenant therefor. Landlord shall pay to Tenant the amount of such invoice within thirty (30) days after delivery by Tenant. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 37 to the contrary, Tenant’s right of self help provided herein shall only apply to Landlord’s obligations within the Premises.
