Base Rent shall be paid in advance, without notice or demand, and without counterclaim or setoff, on the first day of each calendar month during the Lease Term of the Lease, in the same manner as is set forth in the Original Lease.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) provided that no Event of Default then exists, then subject to the terms and conditions set forth below Landlord shall abate Tenant's responsibility to pay Base Rent, Additional Rent and Utilities (except for any electricity usage in the Premises and the Use and Occupancy Taxes attributable to the Premises) as applicable to (i) the period between April 1, 2013 and May, 2013; and (ii) the months of Aplil2014 and April 2015 (collectively, the "Abatement Periods"), and (b) if the Lease is terminated prior to the expiration of the Lease Term as a result of a default by Tenant, in addition to all other damages to which Landlord may be entitled under the Lease and applicable law, Tenant immediately and without notice shall pay Landlord the full amount of all Base Rent and Additional Rent which had been abated as aforesaid.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in the Original Lease (as previously amended) or this Amendment, in addition to Tenant's obligation to make monthly payments of Base Rent, Tenant agrees to reimburse or pay Landlord, within five (5) business days after invoice from Landlord, for any and all expenses incurred by Landlord for Tenant's electricity usage in the Premises during the Lease Term, which usage will be monitored by EMS, or another third party service provider, who will also be responsible for generating the monthly electric bills to be sent to Tenant without mark-up.

(b) Modifications to Certain Lease Terms. Effective as of April 1,2015: (i) the definition for "Operating Costs Base Amount Allocable to the Premises" as provided in Section 3.4.6 of the Original Lease shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following, 'The Operating Costs Allocable to the Premises for the year beginning January 1, 2015 and ending December 31, 2015 (the

 
 

 

"Base Year")"; and (ii) the definition for "Property Tax Base Amount" as provided in Section 3.4.6 of the Original Lease shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following, "Tenant's Pro Rata Share of Property Taxes payable for the year beginning January 1,2015 and ending December 31, 2015."

 
4.
Tenant Improvements.

(a) Allowance and Tenant Improvements. Landlord shall provide to Tenant an allowance (the "Second Amendment Allowance") for the leasehold improvements to be constructed in the Premises in the total amount of One Hundred Eighty One Thousand Eight Hundred Seventy Two and 50/100 Dollars ($181,872.50) (based on Twenty Dollars ($20.00) per rentable square foot of the 1st Floor Space and Twelve and 50/100 Dollars ($12.50) per rentable square foot of the 12tll Floor Space) (the "Second Amendment Tenant Improvements"). The Second Amendment Allowance shall be applied toward (i) the architectural and engineering design, permitting, and construction costs of the Second Amendment Tenant Improvements, and (ii) Tenant's costs relating to furniture, fixtures and equipment (including signage) (collectively, "FF&E") (provided that no more than $36,374.50 (i.e., 20% of the Second Amendment Allowance) may be utilized for FF &E) (individually a "Cost" and collectively "Costs"). With regard to the FF&E portion of the Second Amendment Allowance, payment of same shall be made by Landlord to Tenant within thirty (30) days of Landlord's receipt of bona fide copies of invoices evidencing Costs incurred by Tenant in connection with the FF &E. In no event shall Landlord be liable to pay any Cost which exceed $36,374.50 with respect to FF&E. Promptly after the execution and delivery of this Amendment, Tenant shall prepare all plans, specifications and construction and mechanical drawings in connection with the Second Amendment Tenant Improvements; provided, however, that Tenant may elect to have the Second Amendment Tenant Improvements work performed in two (2) phases (where the 1st phase would be the performance of work relating to the 1st Floor Space and the 2nd phase would be the performance of work relating to the 12th Floor Space) and, in such circumstance, the plans, specifications and construction and mechanical drawings with regard to the 12th Floor Space work, shall be provided to Landlord by Tenant, if at all, no later than November 30, 2013. Said plans, specifications and construction and mechanical drawings shall be subject to Landlord's prior written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (as approved, collectively, the "Tenant Plans"). After the parties' mutual approval of the Tenant Plans and Tenant's receipt of all required permits, which shall be obtained at Tenant's sole cost and expense, Landlord shall generate a proposed budget setting forth the anticipated costs relating to constructing the Second Amendment Tenant Improvements in accordance with the Tenant Plans and, once approved by Tenant, Landlord shall promptly commence construction of the Second Amendment Tenant Improvements and diligently pursue the same to Substantial Completion, the costs for which shall be applied against the Second Amendment Allowance. The performance of the Second Amendment Tenant Improvements shall be performed by Landlord's contractors, as approved by Tenant (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld), and managed by Landlord's project management, in a good and workmanlike manner and shall otherwise be in compliance with the provisions of all applicable laws including, without limitation, the Americans with Disabilities Act. Other than (i) the Second Amendment Tenant Improvements shown on the Tenant Plans, and (ii) Landlord's Work (as defined in Section 5 below), Tenant agrees that the Premises shall remain in its current "AS-IS" condition.

(b) Reconciliation of Costs with respect to the Second Amendment Allowance. Within thirty (30) days after Substantial Completion of the Second Amendment Tenant Improvements, Landlord and Tenant shall reconcile any difference between the actual Costs of the Second Amendment Tenant Improvements relative to the Second Amendment Allowance. In the event that the Costs of the

 
 

 

Second Amendment Tenant Improvements exceed the Second Amendment Allowance, all such excess costs shall be paid by Tenant. If the actual Costs of the Second Amendment Tenant Improvements are less than the Second Amendment Allowance, any remaining unused portion of the Second Amendment Allowance shall be deemed forfeited. In no event shall any portion of the Second Amendment Allowance be credited against installment(s) of Base Rent or Additional Rent due under the Lease.

(c) Substantial Completion. "Substantial Completion" (or "Substantially Complete" or "Substantially Completed") of the Premises shall be conclusively deemed to have occurred as soon as the Second Amendment Tenant Improvements to be installed by Landlord pursuant to this Amendment have been constructed in substantial accordance with the Tenant Plans, with only minor punch-list or finish items remaining to be completed as would not inhibit Tenant from operating in the Premises, as certified by Landlord's architect for the Building (in such architect's commercially reasonable discretion).

(d) Surrender of Second Amendment Tenant Improvements. All Second Amendment Tenant Improvements, regardless of which party constructed or paid for them, shall become the property of Landlord and shall remain upon and be surrendered with the Premises upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may, at its option, remove its safes, security deposit boxes and signage upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease, provided that Tenant makes any repairs to the Premises or the Building necessitated by such removal.

5. Landlord's Work. Landlord, at Landlord's sole cost and expense, shall: (i) upgrade the lighting in the alley to provide a more secure and safe entrance to the 1st Floor Space therefrom; (ii) repair the card reader to the door of the ATM; (iii) repair the outside door to the ATM, which has sustained water damage, and the adjacent drywall and frame which are currently loose; and (iv) check and balance the HVAC system in the 15t Floor Space and ensure that same is in good working order consistent with other first class office buildings in the Philadelphia market (provided, however, that in no event shall Landlord be obligated to add any additional tonnage capacity to said system) (collectively, the "Landlord's Work"). Following the Effective Date, Landlord shall promptly commence the Landlord's Work and diligently pursue completion of same.

6. Lease Security Deposit. Landlord shall continue to hold the existing Lease Security Deposit (i.e., Twenty Thousand Seven Hundred Ninety Nine and 15/100 Dollars ($20,799.15)), as provided in the First Amendment, until the expiration of the Lease Term (as extended by this Amendment).
