ARTICLE 4 - Acceptance of the Premises and Building by Tenant

 

Taking possession of the Premises by Tenant shall be conclusive evidence that Tenant:

 

(a)                                 accepts the Premises as suitable for the purposes for which they are leased;

(b)                                 accepts the Building and every part and appurtenance thereof as being in a good and satisfactory condition, except for any hidden or latent defects; and

(c)                                  waives any defects in the Premises and its appurtenances, except for hidden or latent defects and the completion of those items, if any, on any punch list remaining on Exhibit A and B attached hereto.

 

Landlord shall not be liable, except for its sole negligence or willful misconduct, to Tenant or any of its agents, employees, licensees, or invitees for any injury or damage to person or property due to the condition or design of or any defect in the Building or its mechanical systems and equipment which may exist or occur, and Tenant, for itself and its agents, employees, licensees, and invitees, expressly assumes all risks of injury or damage to person or property, either proximate or remote, resulting from the condition of the Premises or the Building.

 

ARTICLE 5 - Rental

 

Section 5.01  Tenant covenants and agrees to pay to Landlord as Rental for the Premises, in lawful money of the United States, 1/12 of the Annual Base Rental, payable monthly in advance, without set-off, notice or demand, on the first day of each calendar month.  In the event rent is not received by Landlord from Tenant by the first day of each calendar month, Tenant shall pay a late charge for special handling equal to five percent (5%) of the Rental due.  Rental shall be paid to Landlord, without deduction or offset, at the address of Landlord specified in the Basic Lease Information or such other place as Landlord may designate in writing.  The first monthly installment of Rental shall be paid on the Commencement Date, except that if Commencement Date is a date other than the first day of a calendar month, then the monthly Rental for the first and last fractional months of the Term shall be appropriately prorated.  The term “Rental” as used herein means the sum of Annual Base Rental, and all other sums due hereunder by Tenant to Landlord, whether or not expressly denominated as rent, and shall constitute Rental for the purposes of Section 502(b)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code (11 U.S.C. § 502(b)(6)) unless a lesser amount as permitted under said section is actually due to Landlord, which in that case the lesser amount shall constitute Rental owed to the Landlord.  A service charge of ten percent (10%) of the amount of any checks returned stamped “NSF” will be due and payable, in addition to the overdue installments to cover Landlord’s extra cost and expense in handling and processing.  No payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount than the monthly installment due under this Lease shall be deemed to be other than on account of the earliest Rental due hereunder, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or payment as Rental be deemed a waiver of a breach of the Lease Agreement or an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover possession of the Premise and/or the balance of such Rental or pursue any other remedy provided in this Lease or by law, unless otherwise waived in writing by Landlord.  All rent in arrears shall bear interest at the Stipulated Rate of Interest of one and one half percent (1.5%) per month from the date on which the same became due until the date of payment thereof.

 

Section 5.02.  Upon the first anniversary of the Commencement Date of this Lease, and upon each and every anniversary date thereafter, the then current Annual Base Rental shall be increased by the Annual Base Rental Rate Increase (cumulative) as specified in the Basic Lease Information.

 

Section 5.03.  In the event that any law, decision, rule or regulation of any governmental body having jurisdiction shall have the effect of limiting for any period of time the amount of rent or other charges payable by Tenant, to any amount less than that otherwise provided pursuant to this lease, the following amounts shall nevertheless be payable by the Tenant:

 

(a)                                 Throughout such period of limitation, the Tenant shall remain liable for the maximum amount of rent and other charges which are legally payable (without regard to any limitation to the amount thereof expressed in this lease, except that all amounts payable by reason of this Section 5.03 shall not, in the aggregate, exceed the total of all amounts which would otherwise be payable by the Tenant pursuant to the terms of this lease for the period of the limitation);

(b)                                 At the termination of such period of limitation, the Tenant shall pay to the Landlord, on demand, but only to the extent legally collectable by the Landlord, any amounts which would have been due from the Tenant during the period of limitation, but which were not paid because of such limiting law, decision, rule or regulation; and

(c)                                  For the remaining period of the Term following the period of limitation, the Tenant shall pay the Landlord all amounts due for such portion of the Term in accordance with the provisions hereof calculated as though there had been no intervening period of limitation.

 

ARTICLE 6 - Operating Expenses

 

Section 6.01 As used in this Lease, “Operating Expenses” shall mean all expenses and costs of ownership, operation, management, maintenance, repair, replacement and safety of the Property, including without limitation, (i) real estate taxes; (ii) premiums for insurance maintained by Landlord; (iii) costs of repairs and maintenance to the Building, including periodic maintenance of the plumbing and electrical systems and heating, ventilating and cooling systems;  (iv)charges for heat, water, sewer, gas, electricity and other utility services for the Property; (v) janitorial services and sanitation services for the Property, extermination, window washing for the Property and trash removal(vi) costs of snow removal, lawn maintenance and landscaping; (vii) costs for fire extinguishers and for fire and security alarm systems; (viii) management fees payable to the managing entity for the Building (ix) cost of elevator operation and maintenance,; (x) personal property taxes levied on or attributable to personal property used in connection with the operation, management, maintenance or repair of the: Property, (xi) costs of licenses, permits and similar fees and charges related to operation, maintenance, repair, replacement or registration of the Building, other than any of the foregoing related to Leasehold Improvements,; (xii) costs of supplies, materials and equipment (including rental fees) used in connection with the operation, management, maintenance or repair of the Property; and (xiii) without limiting any of the foregoing, such other expenses or charges, which, in accordance with sound accounting and management principles generally accepted with respect to a first-class building or corporate park, would be construed as an Operating Expense.

 

Section 6.02                             If the Operating Expenses, in any calendar year following the Base Year exceed Operating Expenses during the Base Year, Tenant shall pay to Landlord an amount equal to Tenant’s Proportionate Share (as defined in the Basic Lease Information) of the increase in Operating Expenses during such year over the Base Year Operating Expenses.

(a)                                 to terminate this Lease as to the space so affected by Tenant in its notice, in which event Tenant, subject to the provisions of this Lease which expressly survive the termination hereof, shall be relieved of all further obligations hereunder as to such space;

(b)                                 to permit Tenant to assign or sublet such space, subject, however, to the subsequent written approval of the proposed assignee or subtenant by Landlord, and provided that if the Rental rate agreed upon between Tenant and its proposed subtenant is greater than the Rental rate that Tenant must pay Landlord hereunder, then 100% of such excess Rental shall be considered additional Rental owed by Tenant to Landlord, and shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord in the same manner that Tenant pays Annual Base Rental; or

(c)                                  to refuse to consent to Tenant’s assignment or subleasing of such space, provided such refusal notwithstanding anything contained in legislation, law or statute, as the same may be amended from time to time, the Landlord, shall not be deemed to be unreasonable in withholding its consent and may arbitrarily withhold its consent until and unless the proposed assignee or sub-lessee shall have agreed in writing with Landlord to assume and perform each of the covenants, obligations, and agreements of the Tenant in this Lease including, without limitation, the provision of the entry of judgment by confession for monetary damages and possession as set forth in Section 24.02.

Tenant waives all claims against Landlord for damage to any property or injury to, or death of, any person in, upon, or about the Property, Building, or the Premises arising at any time and from any and all causes whatsoever other than by reason of the sole negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its agents, employees, representatives, or contractors, and Tenant agrees that it will defend, indemnify, save, and hold harmless, Landlord from and against all claims, demands, actions, damages, loss, cost, liabilities, expenses, and judgments suffered by, recovered from, or asserted against Landlord on account of any damage to any property or injury to, or death of, any person arising from the use of the Property, Building or the Premises by Tenant or its employees or invitees, except such as is caused by the sole negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its agents, employees, representatives, or contractors.  Tenant’s foregoing indemnity obligation shall include reasonable attorneys’ fees and all other reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Landlord.  If Landlord is made a party to any litigation commenced by or against Tenant or relating to this Lease or to the Premises, and provided that in any such litigation, Landlord is not finally adjudicated to be at fault, then Tenant shall pay all costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and court costs, incurred by or imposed upon Landlord because of any such litigation, and the amount of all such costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and court costs, shall be a demand obligation owing by Tenant to Landlord, and shall be considered as additional Rental.

 

Except to the extent provided in this Lease, the Landlord shall not be liable or responsible in any way for any loss, damage or injury of any nature whatever that may be suffered or sustained to any persons or property, and in particular, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Landlord shall not be liable for any loss, damage or injury of any nature whatever to any person or property:

 

14












 

(a)         Resulting from any defect in the Premise or in the Building; or

(b)         Resulting from the condition or arrangement or from the interruption or breakdown of any heating, ventilating, air-conditioning, sprinkler, mechanical or electrical equipment or machinery or of any water, gas, sewage, electrical power or other utility in the Premise, or in the Building in which the Premise are contained or in the Building; or

(c)          By reason of the failure to supply adequate drainage, snow or ice removal; or

(d)         By reason of steam, smoke, water, rain, snow or other substances leaking, issuing, flowing or escaping into any part of the Premise; or

(e)          Resulting from anything done or omitted to be done by the Landlord, its servants, employees, agents, contractors, officers, customers, invitees or licensees, by other occupants of the Building, by persons in the Premise or in the Building, by occupants of adjacent property or by the public.

 

The Tenant shall not be entitled to any abatement of rent in respect of any such loss, damage or injury, condition, failure or interruption of service, nor shall the same constitute an eviction.

 

The provisions of this Article 19 shall survive the termination of this Lease with respect to any damage, injury, or death occurring before such termination.

 

ARTICLE 20 - Surrender of the Premises

 

Section 20.01       Upon the expiration or other termination of this Lease for any cause whatsoever, Tenant shall peacefully vacate the Premises in as good order and condition as the same were at the beginning of the Term or may thereafter have been improved by Landlord or Tenant, subject only to reasonable use and wear and fire and casualty thereof.

 

Section 20.02       Landlord must approve in writing Tenant’s removal of any Non-Standard Building Improvements, alterations, and physical additions installed in the Premises upon termination of this Lease.    In the event Landlord so elects, and Tenant fails to remove the aforementioned items, Landlord may remove and store same at Tenant’s cost, and Tenant shall pay Landlord on demand, the cost of restoring the Premises to Building Standard, ordinary wear and tear excepted.  Tenant agrees to remove, at Tenant’s expense, all of its furniture, furnishings, personal property, and moveable trade fixtures by the Expiration Date, and shall promptly reimburse Landlord for the cost of repairing all damage done to the Premises or the Building by such removal.

 

Section 20.03       Should Tenant continue to hold the Premises after the termination of this Lease, whether the termination occurs by lapse of time or otherwise, such holding over shall, unless otherwise agreed to by Landlord in writing, constitute and be construed as a tenancy at will at a monthly Rental equal to two (2)times the monthly Rental Rate for the Premises as of the date of termination, and subject to all of the other terms set forth herein except any right to renew or expand this Lease.  Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for all damage which Landlord suffers because of any holding over by Tenant, and Tenant shall indemnify Landlord against all claims made by any other Tenant or prospective Tenant against Landlord resulting from delay by Landlord in delivering possession of the Premises to such other Tenant or prospective Tenant.

 

ARTICLE 21 - Estoppel Certificates

 

Tenant agrees to furnish, when requested by Landlord or the holder of any deeds of trust covering the Building, the Land, or any interest of Landlord therein, a certificate signed by Tenant certifying to such parties as Landlord may designate, to the extent such matters are true, with respect to the terms and status of this Lease and the Premises, stating that Tenant, as of the date of such certificate, has no charge, lien, or claim of offset under this Lease or otherwise against Rentals or other charges due or to become due hereunder; and such other matters as may be requested by Landlord or the holder of any such deeds of trust.  To the extent any such statements requested are not true, Tenant shall explain such facts in writing.  Landlord agrees periodically to furnish, when reasonably requested in writing by Tenant, certificates signed by Landlord containing substantially the same information as described above.

ARTICLE 22 - Subordination

 

Section 22.01       This Lease is subject and subordinate to any deeds of trust, mortgages, or other security instruments, and any other supplements or amendments thereto, which presently or may in the future cover the Building and the Land or any interest of Landlord therein, and to any increases, renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements, and extensions of any of such deeds of trust, mortgages, or security instruments.  Landlord agrees to use his best efforts to obtain for Tenant a “non-disturbance” agreement from the holder or beneficiary of any deeds of trust, mortgages or other security instruments that in the future may cover the Building and the Land or any interest of Landlord therein.  This provision is declared by Landlord and Tenant to be self-operative and no further instrument shall be required to effect such subordination of this Lease.  Tenant shall, however, upon demand, execute, acknowledge, and deliver to Landlord any further instruments and certificates evidencing such subordination as Landlord may require.  This Lease is further subject and subordinate to utility easements and agreements, covenants, restrictions, and other encumbrances which do not materially adversely effect Tenant’s intended use of the Premises, both existing and future.

 

Section 22.02       Notwithstanding the generality of the foregoing provisions of Section 22.01 hereof, any such mortgagee shall have the right at any time to subordinate any such ground or primary Leases, deeds of trust, mortgages, or other security instruments to this Lease on such terms and subject to such conditions as such mortgagee or ground or primary lessor may consider appropriate in its discretion.  At any time, before or after the institution of any proceedings for the foreclosure of any such deeds of trust, mortgages, or other security instruments, or sale of the Building under any such deeds of trust, mortgages, or other security instruments or termination of any ground or primary Lease, Tenant shall attorn to such purchaser upon any such sale or the grantee under any deed in lieu of such foreclosure and shall recognize such purchaser or grantee as Landlord under this Lease.  The agreement of Tenant to attorn contained in the immediately preceding sentence shall survive any foreclosure sale, trustee’s sale, or conveyance in lieu thereof.  Tenant shall upon demanded at any time, before or after any such sale, execute, acknowledge, and deliver to Landlord’s mortgagee any written instruments and certificates evidencing such attornment as Landlord’s mortgagee may reasonably require.

 

ARTICLE 23 - Parking

 

Landlord shall permit Tenant to use the areas designated by Landlord as “parking area” for parking of vehicles in common with other tenants of the building during the term of this Lease as more fully provided for in Exhibit “C” hereto.

 

ARTICLE 24 - Default and Remedies

 

Section 24.01  The occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall, at Landlord’s option, constitute an event of default of this Lease:

 

(a)                                 if Tenant fails to pay any Rental by the first day of each month or fails to pay other sums payable by Tenant hereunder by the first day of each month and fails to pay such sums within three (3) days of written notice thereof from Landlord (provided, however, if such event of default shall occur more than once in every 6 months period, Landlord shall not be required to provide any written notice of default, not provide any cure period and an event of default shall occur as and when such Rental or other sums becomes due and payable; or

(b)                                 if Tenant shall fail to perform or observe any other term hereof or any of the Rules and Regulations and such failure shall continue for more than 30 days after notice thereof from Landlord.

(c)                                  if any petition is filed by or against Tenant or any guarantor of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease under any section or chapter of the present or future Bankruptcy Code or under any similar law or statute of the United States or any state thereof;

(d)                                 if Tenant or guarantor of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease becomes insolvent or is determined to be insolvent or makes a transfer in fraud of creditors;

(e)                                  if Tenant fails to take occupancy within 30 days of the commencement date;

(f)                                   if Tenant or guarantor of tenant’s obligations under this Lease, makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors; or

(g)                                  if a receiver, custodian or trustee is appointed for Tenant or for any of the assets of the Tenant which appointment is not vacated within 30 days of the date of such appointment.

 

Section 24.02       If an event of default occurs, at any time thereafter Landlord may do one or more of the following without any additional notice or demand:

 

16











 

(a)                                 Terminate this Lease by giving written notice of the termination to the Tenant, in which event Tenant shall immediately surrender the Premises to Landlord.  If Tenant fails to do so, Landlord may, without notice and without prejudice to any other remedy Landlord may have, enter upon and take possession of the Premises and expel or remove Tenant and its effects without being liable to prosecution or any claim for damages therefore; and Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for all loss and damage which Landlord may suffer by reason of such termination, whether through inability to re-let the Premises or otherwise, including any loss of Rental for the remainder of the Term.  Any such loss of Rental shall be offset by any Rental received by Landlord as a result of re-letting the Premises during the remainder of the Term.

(b)                                 Terminate this Lease, in which event Tenant’s event of default shall be considered a total breach of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease and Tenant immediately shall become liable for such damages for such breach amount, equal to the total of:

 

(1)                                 the costs of recovering the Premises;

(2)                                 the unpaid Rental due for the remaining term as of the date of termination, plus interest thereon at a rate per annum from the due date equal to 18% over the Prime Rate.

(3)                                 the total Rental and other benefits which Landlord would have received under the Lease for the remainder of the Term, at the rates then in effect, together with all other expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with Tenant’s default.

(4)                                 all other sums of money and damages owing by Tenant and Landlord.

 

(c)                                  Enter upon and take possession of the Premises as Tenant’s agent without terminating this Lease and without being liable to prosecution or any claim for damages therefore, and Landlord may re-let the Premises as Tenant’s agent and receive the Rental therefore, in which event Tenant shall pay to Landlord on demand the reasonable cost of renovating and repairing the Premises for a new Tenant or Tenants and any deficiency that may arise by reason of such re-letting; shall not release or affect Tenant’s liability for Rental or for damages.

(d)                                 Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default which is not cured by the Tenant within the period of time provided herein, if any is so provided by the terms of this Lease, the Tenant hereby empowers any Prothonotary or any attorney of any court of record within the United States or elsewhere to appear for the Tenant, with declaration filed, and confess judgment against the Tenant in favor of the Landlord, its successors or assigns, as of any term, for any determined amount to which the Landlord would be entitled as damages under the provisions hereof including also any attorney fees for collection of the same plus ten percent (10%) of the total amount of such damages, together with costs of suit, and the Tenant hereby waives all errors, defects and imperfections in entering said judgment or in any writ, or process, or proceeding thereon or thereto or in anyway touching or concerning the same; and for the confession and entry of such judgment, this Lease or a true and correct copy thereof shall be sufficient warrant and authority.  The authority and power contained herein shall not be exhausted by one exercise thereof, but judgment may be confessed as aforesaid from time to time and as often as there is an occurrence of any Event of Default which is not cured by the Tenant as provided herein, or in the event of an Event of Default as defined herein; and furthermore such authority and power may be exercised during the original and any extension or renewal thereof, or after the expiration or earlier termination of the term hereof.  The interest rate of one and one-half percent per month (1.5% per month) shall survive the entering of judgment.

(e)                                  When this lease shall be terminated or cancelled by reason of breach of any provision hereof, either during the original term of this lease or any renewal thereof, and also as soon as the term hereby created or any renewal thereof shall have expired, it shall be lawful for any attorney as attorney for Tenant to file an agreement for entering in any court of competent jurisdiction an amicable action and confession of judgment in ejectment against the Tenant and all persons claiming under the Tenant for the recovery by the Landlord of possession of the Premise, for which this lease or a true and correct copy thereof shall be his sufficient warrant, whereupon, if the Landlord so desires, a writ of possession may issue forthwith, without any prior writ or proceedings whatsoever, and provided that if for any reason after such action shall have commenced the same

 

17











 

shall be terminated and possession remain in or be restored to the Tenant, the Landlord shall have the right upon any subsequent default or defaults, or upon the termination or cancellation of this lease as hereinbefore set forth, to bring one or more amicable action or actions as hereinbefore set forth to recover possession as aforesaid.

(f)                                   Do whatever Tenant is obligated to do under this Lease and may enter the Premises without being liable to prosecution or any claim for damages therefore, to accomplish this purpose.  Tenant shall reimburse Landlord immediately upon demand for any expenses which Landlord incurs in thus effecting compliance with this Lease on Tenant’s behalf, and Landlord shall not be liable for any damages suffered by Tenant from such action, unless caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or otherwise.

 

Section 24.03       No act or thing done by Landlord or its agents during the Term shall constitute an acceptance of an attempted surrender of the Premises, and no agreement to accept a surrender of the Premises or to terminate this Lease shall be valid unless made in writing and signed by Landlord.  No re-entry or taking possession of the Premises by Landlord shall constitute an election by Landlord to terminate this Lease, unless a written notice of such intention is given to Tenant. Notwithstanding any such re-letting or re-entry or taking possession, Landlord may at any time thereafter terminate this Lease for a previous default.  Landlord’s acceptance of partial payment of Rental following an event of default hereunder shall not be construed as a waiver of such event of default.  No waiver by Landlord of any breach of this Lease shall constitute a waiver of any other violation or breach of any time of the terms hereof.  Forbearance by Landlord to enforce one or more of the remedies herein provided upon a breach hereof shall not constitute a waiver of any other breach of the Lease.

 

Section 24.04       No provision of this Lease shall be deemed to have been waived by Landlord unless such waiver is in writing and signed by Landlord nor shall any custom or practice which may evolve between the parties in the administration of the terms of this Lease be constituted to waive or lessen Landlord’s right to insist upon strict performance of the terms of this Lease.  The rights granted to Landlord in this Lease shall be cumulative of every other right or remedy which Landlord may otherwise have at law or in equity or by statue, and the exercise of one or more rights or remedies shall not prejudice or impair the current or subsequent exercise of other rights or remedies.

 

Section 24.05.      The Tenant expressly waives:

 

(a)                 The right to three (3) months notice and fifteen (15); or thirty (30) days notice required under certain circumstances by the Landlord and Tenant Act of 1951.

(b)                 Landlord and Tenant hereby waive trial by jury in any action or proceeding or counterclaim brought by either party hereto against the other party on any, and every, matter, directly or indirectly arising out of or with respect to the Lease, including, without limitation, the relationship of Landlord and Tenant, the use and occupancy by Tenant of the Premise, any statutory remedy and/or claim of injury or damage regarding the Lease, and/or the relationship of Landlord and Tenant, and any emergency.

(c)                  The benefit of all laws, now or hereafter in force, exempting any goods on the Demised Premises, or elsewhere, from distraint, levy or sale in any legal proceeding taken by the Landlord to enforce any rights under this Lease;

(d)                 The benefit of all laws now made or which may hereafter be made regarding any limitations as to the goods upon which, or the time within which, distress is to be made after the removal of goods and further relieves the Landlord of the obligation or proving or identifying such goods, it being the purpose and intent of this provision that all goods of the Tenant, whether upon the Demised Premises or not, shall be liable to distress for rent;

(e)                  The right to issue a writ of replevin for the recovery of any goods seized under a distress for rent or levy upon an execution for rent, damages or otherwise;

(f)                   The right to delay execution on any real estate that may be levied upon to collect any amount which may become due under the terms and conditions of this lease and any right to have same appraised, and the Tenant authorizes any Prothonotary or clerk to enter a writ of execution or other process upon the Tenant’s voluntary waiver and further agrees that said real estate may be sold on a writ of execution of other process;

(g)                  All rights under any law, ordinance or statue relating to Landlord and Tenant rights to the extent of hereby authorizing the sale of any goods distrained for rent at any time after seven (7) days from said distraint without appraisement and condemnation thereof;

 

18











 

(h)                     Tenant hereby covenants and agrees to pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, promptly upon demand, all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in enforcing any and every provision of this Lease and/or in pursuing any remedy for default of this Lease, regardless of initiation or conclusion of any legal proceeding; said costs and expenses shall include, but not be limited to, all legal fees, attorney’s fees, and all court costs, including the preparation of documents and the filing fee of any and all papers with the courts and the cost of depositions and investigations.

 

ARTICLE 25 - Waiver by Landlord

 

Landlord waives any rights of distraint with respect to Tenant’s trade fixtures and other personal property of Tenant located in the Premises provided under the Landlord and Tenant Act of 1951, 68 P.S. § 250.101 et seq., or otherwise.

 

ARTICLE 26 - Security Deposit

 

The Security Deposit, if any, shall be held by Landlord, without interest, as security for the performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease.  Landlord may, without prejudice to any other remedy, use the Security Deposit to remedy any default in any obligation of Tenant hereunder, and such use shall survive the termination of this Lease, and Tenant shall promptly, in demand, restore the Security Deposit to its original amount.  If Tenant is not in default at the termination of this Lease, any remaining portion of the Security Deposit shall be returned to Tenant.  If Landlord transfers its interest in the Premises during the Term, Landlord shall assign the Security Deposit to the transferee who shall then become obligated to Tenant for its return, and thereafter Landlord shall have no further liability for its return.

 

ARTICLE 27 - Attorney’s Fees and Legal Expenses

 

In any action or proceeding brought by either party against the other with respect to this Lease, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the other party’s reasonable attorneys’ fees, investigation costs, and other legal expenses and court costs incurred by such party in such action or proceeding as the court may find to be reasonable.  The prevailing party shall be the one who receives the net judgment in its behalf at the end of any action.

 

ARTICLE 28 - Notices

 

Any notice or document required to be delivered hereunder shall be considered delivered, whether actually received or not, when hand delivered to the address of the other party, when delivered by a nationally recognized overnight courier, or 48 hours after deposited in the United States Mail, postage prepaid, registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, addressed to the parties hereto at the respective addresses specified in the Basic Lease Information, or at such other address as they have subsequently specified by written notice.

 

ARTICLE 29 - Miscellaneous

 

Section 29.01       Where this Lease requires Tenant to reimburse Landlord the cost of any item, if no such cost has been stipulated, such cost will be the reasonable and customary charge therefore periodically established by Landlord.

19











 

Section 29.05       There shall be no merger of this Lease or of the Leasehold estate hereby created with the fee estate in the Premises or any part thereof by reason of the fact that the same person may acquire or hold, directly or indirectly, this Lease or the Leasehold state hereby created or any interest in this Lease or in any interest in such fee estate.  In the event of a voluntary or other surrender of this Lease, or a mutual cancellation hereof, Landlord may, at its option, terminate all subleases, or treat such surrender or cancellation as an assignment of such subleases.

Section 29.09       If there be more than one Tenant, the obligations hereunder imposed Tenant shall be joint and several, and all agreements and covenants herein contained shall be binding upon the respective heirs, personal representatives, successors, and to the extent permitted under this Lease, assigns of the parties hereto.

 

Section 29.10       Neither Landlord nor Landlord’s agents or brokers have made any representations or promises with respect to the Premises or the Building except as herein expressly set forth and all reliance with respect to any representations or promises is based solely on those contained herein.

 

Section 29.11       This Lease sets forth the entire agreement between the parties and cancels all prior negotiations, arrangements, brochures, agreements, and understandings, if any, between Landlord and Tenant regarding the subject matter of this Lease.  No amendment or modification of this Lease shall be binding or valid unless expressed in writing executed by both parties hereto.

 

Section 29.12       The submission of this Lease to Tenant shall not be construed as an offer, nor shall Tenant have any rights with respect thereto unless Landlord executes a copy of this Lease and delivers the same to Tenant.

Section 29.14       If, in connection with obtaining financing for the Building or of any ground or underlying Lease, any lender shall request reasonable modifications in the Lease as a condition for such financing, Tenant will not unreasonably withhold, delay, or defer its consent thereto, provided that such modifications do not increase the obligations of Tenant hereunder or materially adversely affect either the Leasehold interest hereby created or Tenant’s use and enjoyment of the Premises.

 

Section 29.15       This Lease shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.  Any action brought to enforce or interpret this Lease shall be brought in the court of appropriate jurisdiction in the County of Pennsylvania where the Building is located.  Should any provision of this Lease require 

 

20











 

judicial interpretation, it is agreed that the Court interpreting or considering same shall not apply the presumption that the terms hereof shall be more strictly construed against a party by reason of the rule or conclusion that a document should be construed more strictly against the party who itself or through its agent prepared the same, it being agreed that all parties hereto have participated in the preparation of this Lease and that legal counsel was consulted by each party before the execution of this Lease.

 

Section 29.16       Landlord may, upon reasonable notice (no less than 24 hours except in the case of emergencies) enter upon the Premises at reasonable hours to inspect same or clean or make repairs or alterations (but without any obligation to do so, except as expressly provided for herein) and to show the Premises to prospective lenders or purchasers, and, during the last 6 months of the Term of the Lease, to show them to prospective Tenants at reasonable hours and, if they are vacated, to prepare them for re-occupancy.  Landlord shall cause its officers, agents and representatives to exercise care with any such entry not to unreasonably interfere with the operation and normal office routine of Tenant (except in the case of emergency).

 

Section 29.17       Landlord may elect to relocate Tenant to other space in the Building containing at least the same amount of Rentable Area as contained in the Premises (“Substitution Space”).  If such relocation occurs, the description of the Premises set forth in this Lease shall, without further act on the part of the Landlord or Tenant, be deemed amended so that the Substitution Space shall be deemed the Premises hereunder, and all of the terms, covenants, conditions and provisions of this Lease shall continue in full force and effect and shall apply to the Substitution Space.  The cost of relocating Tenant and altering the Substitution Space to make it comparable to the Premises shall be borne by the Landlord.  The Annual Base Rental for the Substitution Space shall be the amount specified under Item 14 of the Basis Lease Information.

ARTICLE 30 —Right of Assignee

 

The right to enter judgment against Tenant and to enforce all of the other provisions of this Lease hereinabove provided for may, at the option of any assignee of the Lease, be exercised by any assignee of the Landlord’s right, title and interest in this Lease in his, her or their own name, executed and/or witnessed in accordance with the Act of Assembly of May 28, 1915, I. Sm. L. 90, and all supplements and amendments thereto that have been or may hereafter be passed, and Tenant hereby expressly waives the requirements of said Act of Assembly and any and all laws regulating the manner and/or form in which said assignments shall be executed and witnessed.

 

ARTICLE 31 — No Waiver

 

Section 31.01       Failure of Landlord to insist upon the strict performance of any provision of this Lease or to exercise any option or rules and regulations contained shall not be construed as a waiver for the future of any such provision, rule or option.
