*The foregoing notwithstanding, Minimum Annual Rent shall be abated during the first six (6) full months following the Full Term Commencement Date (the “Rent Abatement Period”).  During all other periods of the Term, Tenant shall make Minimum Annual Rent payments without any abatement except as otherwise expressly set forth in the Lease.  Should the Lease or Tenant’s right to possess the Premises be terminated on account of an Event of Default, Landlord shall be entitled to recover from Tenant (in addition to all other rights and remedies available to Landlord) the unamortized portion of all abated Minimum Annual Rent.  Such unamortized abated Minimum Annual Rent shall be calculated by determining the remaining principal balance as of the effective date of termination of a hypothetical loan made on the Commencement Date in the original principal amount of the abated Minimum Annual Rent, and repaid in equal monthly installments of principal and interest on the first of the month over a term of ninety (90) months at an interest rate of eight (8%) per annum.

 

**The foregoing notwithstanding, Minimum Annual Rent shall be calculated based upon a rentable square footage of 18,000 rsf during the period commencing after the Rent Abatement Period and continuing through the thirtieth (30th) full month of the Term.  During such period, Tenant shall pay Minimum Annual Rent in the amount of $23,775 per month ([$15.85 x 18,000] / 12).

 

***The rentable square footage and configuration of the Premises will be subject to fluctuation during the performance of Landlord’s Work (as hereinafter defined).  Because the measurements of the Premises will not be readily ascertainable during this period, the parties agree that the notional figures set forth above shall represent the rentable square footage of the Premises for all purposes under this Lease from the Commencement Date through and including the thirtieth (30th) month thereafter.

(g)                                 Annual Operating Expenses:  Commencing on the Commencement Date and continuing through the Full Term Commencement Date (the “Initial Term”), Tenant shall pay Annual Operating Expenses calculated based on Tenant occupying 21,266 rentable square feet.

 

During the five (5) month period commencing on the Full Term Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay only those certain Annual Operating Expenses that would fluctuate due to Tenant’s occupancy (i.e., janitorial (estimated to be $1.40/rsf per year) and utilities (estimated to be $2.83/rsf per year))(“Variable Operating Expenses”) calculated based upon Tenant occupying 13,260 rentable square feet.

 

Commencing on the first day of the sixth (6th) full month following the Full Term Commencement Date and continuing until the last day of the Rent Abatement Period, Tenant shall pay all Annual Operating Expenses and utilities calculated based upon Tenant occupying 13,260 rentable square feet.

 

Commencing on the first day following the expiration of the Rent Abatement Period and continuing for the remainder of the Term, Tenant shall pay all Annual Operating Expenses and utilities calculated based upon Tenant occupying 21,266 rentable square feet.

 

Annual Operating Expenses for 2013 are estimated to be $10.14 per rentable square foot in the Premises.

 

(h)                                 Tenant’s Share: 34.80% (also see Definitions) calculated on full occupancy (21,266/61,108).

 

(i)                                    Use:  General office and appurtenant lab use in accordance with all applicable Laws.

 

(j)                                    Security Deposit:  $35,097.27 (subject to adjustment pursuant to Rider 2, Section 34)

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”, except for the work to be performed by Landlord in accordance with Section 31, Rider 2 to Lease Agreement, without relying on any representation, covenant or warranty by Landlord other than as expressly set forth in this Lease.  Landlord and Tenant (a) acknowledge that all square foot measurements are approximate and (b) acknowledge that the rentable square footages set forth in Sections 1(a) and (b) above for all purposes with respect to this Lease were measured in accordance with BOMA standards.

 

3.                                      UseTenant shall occupy and use the Premises only for the Use specified in Section l(i) above.  Tenant shall not permit any conduct by Tenant or its employees or condition in the Premises which may endanger, disturb or otherwise interfere with any

 

3



 

other Building occupant’s normal operations or with the management of the Building.  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 represents that the Premises are vacant and no lease is in effect with respect thereto.  As a result, there shall be no delay in delivering possession due to the holdover of any existing tenant or other circumstances outside of Landlord’s reasonable control.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, and without limitation of other remedies available to Tenant under the Lease, in the event Landlord has not delivered possession of the Premises to Tenant prior to November 1, 2013, subject to extension for any delay to the extent caused in whole or in part by force majeure or Tenant delay, then Tenant shall have the option, in its sole discretion, to terminate this Lease effective immediately upon delivery of written notice to Landlord.

 

Landlord’s approval:

Senior Vice President, Regional Director

 

 

5.                                      Rent; Taxes.  Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord, without demand, deduction or offset, Minimum Annual Rent and Annual Operating Expenses, as set forth in Section 1(g) above, for the Term.  Tenant shall pay the Monthly Rent, in advance, on the first day of each calendar month during the Term (provided that Monthly Rent for the first full month shall be paid at the signing of this Lease), and any other Rent for which a due date is not specified in this Lease, within 30 days of receipt of a bill therefor, at Landlord’s address designated in Section 1 above unless Landlord designates otherwise.  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 five (5) business days after the date due.  In addition, any Rent, including such charge, not paid within five (5) business days after the due date will bear interest at the Interest Rate from the date due to the date paid.  Tenant shall pay before delinquent all taxes levied or assessed upon, measured by, or arising from: (a) the conduct of Tenant’s business in the Premises; (b) Tenant’s leasehold estate; or (c) Tenant’s property in the Premises.  Additionally, Tenant shall pay to Landlord all sales, use, transaction privilege, or other excise tax that may at any time be levied or imposed by law upon, or measured by, any amount payable by Tenant under this Lease.  To the best of Landlord’s knowledge, no real property tax abatements or appeals are pending with respect to the Property as of the date hereof.

 

6.                                      Operating Expenses.  The amount of the Annual Operating Expenses set forth in Section 1(g) above represents Tenant’s Share of the estimated Operating Expenses for the calendar year in which the Term commences.  Landlord may adjust such amount from time to time 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 April 30th of each year (and as soon thereafter as practicable, but no longer than three (3) months after the expiration or termination of this Lease), Landlord shall provide Tenant with a statement of Operating Expenses for the preceding calendar year or part thereof.  Within thirty (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.  If Tenant does not give Landlord notice within ninety (90) days after receiving Landlord’s statement that Tenant disagrees with the statement and specifying the items and amounts in dispute, Tenant shall be deemed to have waived the right to contest the statement, subject to Tenant’s audit rights discussed below.  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 Variable Operating Expenses, including the method of allocating Variable Operating Expenses to various 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 Variable Operating Expenses for such period so that Variable Operating Expenses are computed as through the Building had been fully occupied.  Within the calendar year in which Landlord furnishes to Tenant its statement of actual Operating Expenses for the prior calendar year, Tenant may, not more than once per calendar year, elect, by at least thirty (30) days written notice to Landlord, to audit Landlord’s Operating Expenses for such calendar year, with such audit to be at Tenant’s expense.  If such audit produces a credit to Tenant greater than four percent (4%) of the Operating Expenses paid by Tenant during such period, Landlord shall pay for the reasonable cost of such audit; provided that any overpayment shall be either credited against the Annual Operating Expenses next due and payable or refunded to Tenant within sixty (60) days of resolution of the dispute regardless of the four percent (4%) threshold.  Prior to commencing any audit, Tenant shall execute a confidentiality agreement, in reasonable form, provided to Tenant by Landlord.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant hereby covenants and agrees that the auditors and any other consultants engaged by Tenant to conduct the audit shall be compensated on an hourly basis and shall not be compensated based upon a percentage of overcharges discovered.  The time constraints shall be

 

4



 

reciprocal for Tenant and Landlord (i.e., Landlord may not make any adjustment to a previously delivered expense statement more than one (1) year after issuance of such statement), provided that, if a systemic error is found that applies to prior years, either party may go back to prior years to address such error (but no other line items), and the amounts of any overpayments or underpayments so determined shall be credited, remitted or refunded, as applicable, in accordance with the procedures set forth hereinabove.

 

7.                                      Services.  Landlord will furnish the following services for the normal use and occupancy of the Premises for general office purposes:  (i) electricity, (ii) heating and air conditioning in season during Normal Business Hours, (iii) water, (iv) trash removal and janitorial services pursuant to the cleaning schedule attached as Exhibit “D” and (v) such other services, consistent with suburban Class A office buildings, as Landlord reasonably determines are appropriate or necessary.  If Tenant requests (upon at least 24 hours notice to Landlord), and if Landlord is able to furnish, services in addition to those identified above, including heating or air conditioning outside of Normal Business Hours, Tenant shall pay Landlord’s reasonable charge (presently $65.00/hour, subject to change) for such supplemental services.  If because of Tenant’s density, equipment or other Tenant circumstances, Tenant puts demands on the Building Systems in excess of those of the typical office user in the Building, Landlord may install supplemental equipment and meters at Tenant’s expense.  Landlord shall not be responsible or liable for any interruption in such services which are outside of its control, nor shall such interruption affect the continuation or validity of this Lease, provided that Landlord shall use diligent, good faith efforts to eliminate the cause of such interruption and shall provide alternative services where possible.  Landlord shall have the exclusive right to select, and to change, the companies providing such services to the Building or Premises.  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.  In the event Tenant’s consumption of any utility or other service included in Operating Expenses is reasonably determined by Landlord (and documented to Tenant) to be excessive when compared with other occupants of the Property, Landlord may invoice Tenant separately for, and Tenant shall pay, the cost of Tenant’s excessive consumption (without Landlord mark-up).

 

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 a $1,000,000 combined single limit with a $3,000,000 general aggregate limit (which general aggregate limit may be satisfied by an umbrella liability policy) for bodily injury or property damage; however, such limits shall not limit Tenant’s liability hereunder.  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, shall be written on an “occurrence” basis and not on a “claims made” basis and shall be endorsed to provide that it is primary to and not contributory to any policies carried by Landlord; provided, however, that Tenant shall not cancel or reduce the coverage under any such policy below required to be maintained hereunder without at least thirty (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 fifteen (15) 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 such endorsements and additional coverages as are considered good business practice in such party’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

 

5



 

any loss or damage caused by water leakage, fire, windstorm, explosion, theft, act of any other tenant, or other cause.

 

(d)                                 Tenant shall not be permitted to satisfy any of its insurance obligations set forth in this Lease through any self-insurance or self-insured retention in excess of $25,000.

 

(e)                                  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) (“Claims”) 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 to the extent occasioned by any 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.  Nothing in the foregoing shall in any way limit, reduce or nullify Tenant’s ability to bring any action for damages against Landlord to the extent any Claims result from the default of or breach by Landlord under this Lease.

 

(f)                                   Subject to subsection (c) above, and except to the extent caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or its Agents, Landlord will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Tenant and its Agents from and against any Claims which may be asserted against, imposed upon, or incurred by Tenant or its Agents arising out of or in connection with loss of life, personal injury or damage to property in or about the Property outside of the Premises, caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or its Agents, or Landlord’s breach of its obligations contained herein.  Landlord’s obligations pursuant to this subsection shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease.  Nothing in the foregoing shall in any way limit, reduce or nullify Landlord’s ability to bring any action for damages against Tenant to the extent any Claims result from the default of or breach by Tenant under this Lease.

 

9.                                      Maintenance and Repairs.

 

(a)                                 Landlord shall Maintain the Building in a manner consistent with suburban Class A office buildings, including the Premises, the Common Areas, the Building Systems and any other improvements owned by Landlord located on the Property, which improvements shall include, without limitation: the Building foundation, concrete subflooring, structural elements of the roof, exterior and structural walls, roof drainage systems, structural parts of the Building and the Building underground utilities, including, without limitation, main electrical service and sewer and water pipes located outside of and serving the Building.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if Tenant becomes aware of any condition that is Landlord’s responsibility to repair, Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord of the condition.  Moreover, regardless of who bears responsibility for repair, Tenant shall as soon as reasonably practicable notify Landlord if Tenant becomes aware of any areas of water intrusion or mold growth in or about the Premises.

 

(b)                                 Tenant at its sole expense shall keep the Premises in a neat and orderly condition.  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 act or omission of Tenant or its Agents shall be made at the sole expense of Tenant to the extent not covered by any applicable insurance proceeds paid to Landlord.

 

10.                               Compliance.

 

(a)                                 Tenant will, at its expense, promptly comply with all Laws pertaining to the Premises or Tenant’s particular manner of use or occupancy thereof (as opposed to use of general office or laboratory purposes), as of the Commencement Date and during the Term.  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 Law would require Landlord to make any Alteration to or in the Building or Common Areas (without 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, resulting from Tenant’s particular manner of use or occupancy thereof.

 

6



 

(b)                                 Tenant will comply, and will cause its Agents to comply, with the Building Rules.  Landlord may adopt and Tenant shall comply with reasonable rules and regulations to promote energy efficiency, sustainability and environmental standards for the Property, as the same may be changed from time to time upon reasonable notice to Tenant.  Landlord shall enforce all rules and regulations in a uniform and consistent manner as between and among tenants of the Building.

 

(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 thirty (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 (including the use of materials generally used in an office environment, such as toner for photocopiers and cleaning supplies) 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; 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)                                  To the best of Landlord’s knowledge, the Building is, as of the date hereof, in compliance and, as of the Commencement Date, will be in compliance, with all applicable Laws, and Landlord has not received written notice of any pending or threatened action against the Landlord or Building relating to a possible violation of Laws from any governmental authority or any third parties.

 

11.                               Signs.  Landlord will furnish Tenant building standard identification signage on the interior Building directory, if applicable, and on or beside the main entrance door to the Premises.  In addition, Landlord, at Landlord’s expense, will install Tenant’s logo on the existing monument sign located at the Building, provided that the final logo dimensions, color and placement shall be approved by Landlord and the Great Valley Owner’s Association.  Tenant shall not place any signs on the Property without the prior consent of Landlord, other than signs that are located wholly within the interior of the Premises and not visible from the exterior of the Premises.  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 improvements made or constructed in connection with Landlord’s Work and non-structural Alterations that (a) do not exceed $15,000 in the aggregate, (b) are not visible from the exterior of the Premises, (c) do not affect any Building System or the structural strength of the Building, (d) do not require penetrations into the floor, ceiling or walls, and (e) 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 duly approved by Landlord hereunder, and made by or on behalf of Tenant (whether or not the Alteration requires Landlord’s consent): (u) 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, (v) Tenant shall obtain Landlord’s prior written approval of any contractor or subcontractor (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), (w) 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, (x) the Alteration shall be performed in accordance with Landlord’s reasonable requirements relating to sustainability and energy efficiency, (y) Tenant shall pay Landlord all reasonable

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 deems necessary, and (z) upon Landlord’s request Tenant shall, prior to commencing any Alteration, provide Landlord reasonable security against liens arising out of such construction.  Notwithstanding the terms of subsection (y) above, to the extent a proposed Alteration is not expressly subject to Landlord approval hereunder, there shall be no cost to Tenant for Landlord’s review.  Any Alteration 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, at the time is approves such work, 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; provided that Tenant shall not be required to remove Landlord’s Work with the exception of HVAC units and any specialty lab finishes.  At Tenant’s request prior to Tenant making any Alterations, 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 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 thirty (30) 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 to Relocate Tenant; Right of Entry.

 

(a)                                 In the event the Premises leased by Tenant hereunder falls below 13,260 rentable square feet, Landlord may relocate Tenant from the Premises to substantially similar space in the Building (without limitation, being substantially similar as to office and laboratory finishes; layout and configuration; access; sign location; ceiling heights; infrastructure including but not limited to HVAC, electrical distribution and plumbing; and restrictive covenants applicable to such space, as reasonably determined by Landlord) (the “Substitute Premises”). Landlord will give Tenant at least 60 days advance notice of relocation and, at Landlord’s sole cost and expense, shall remove Tenant’s property from the Demised Premises and reinstall it in the Substitute Premises, and construct and finish the Substitute Premises to substantially the same configuration and level of finish as the Premises, provided that Landlord shall pay the cost of moving Tenant to the Substitute Premises and of relocation of telephone, cable and data service, which moving and relocation shall be performed at a time reasonably agreed upon between Landlord and Tenant.  Such a relocation shall not terminate, modify or otherwise affect this lease except that “Premises” shall refer to the relocation space rather than the old location identified in Section 1(a).  Landlord may only relocate Tenant pursuant to this Section 14(a) once during the Term.

 

(b)                                 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, except to the extent caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or Landlord’s Agents.

 

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 thirty (30) days after the date of the casualty, if Landlord anticipates that the restoration will take more than one-hundred eighty (180) days from the date of the casualty to complete; in such event, either Landlord or Tenant (unless the damage was caused by Tenant) may terminate this Lease effective as of the date of casualty by giving notice to the other within ten (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 three (3) more years and does so within thirty (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 opinion for the reasonable operation of Tenant’s business, or (c) any of the Property is Taken, and, in Landlord’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, Monthly 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 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 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 subsection (b) below, Tenant shall not enter into nor effectuate 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 proposed transferee is an existing tenant of Landlord in the Building, (ii) the business of the proposed transferee is not materially consistent with existing tenants in multi-story, multi-tenant office buildings owned by Landlord in the Great Valley Corporate Center, or (iii) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.  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.

 

(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 fifteen (15) days prior to the effective date (to the extent practicable), 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 executed by Tenant and the Affiliate in form reasonably acceptable to Landlord, 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) for the balance of the Term other than in connection with the sale of the business or all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant, 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, the excess of (i) all compensation received by Tenant for the Transfer over (ii) the Rent allocable to the Premises transferred after the repayment of all costs of the sublet.

 

(d)                                 If Tenant requests Landlord’s consent to a Transfer, Tenant shall provide Landlord, at least fifteen (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 executed by Tenant and the transferee, in the form attached as Exhibit “F”, 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 up to $1,500 for reasonable administrative and attorneys’ fees in connection with the processing and documentation of any Transfer for which Landlord’s consent is requested.

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 an Event of Default is not then occurring.  This clause shall be self-operative, but within ten (10) days after 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; provided, however, that any such subordination and attornment shall be conditioned upon the non-disturbance of Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises under this Lease.  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.

 

(b)                                 No Mortgagee shall be (i) liable for any act or omission of a prior landlord except to the extent continuing into the period of time after Mortgagee takes possession of or acquires title to the Property, (ii) subject to any rental offsets or defenses against a prior landlord, (iii) bound by any amendment to the material terms 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 fifteen (15) days after Landlord’s 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.  Landlord agrees to keep any private financial information provided to it by Tenant confidential (except for disclosure to the parties listed in this subsection (b)), and any Mortgagee, prospective Mortgagee and/or prospective purchaser with which Landlord shares such information shall be informed by Landlord of the obligation to keep such information confidential, and shall agree to do so.

 

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 or that Landlord is obligated to Maintain in accordance with Section 9(a) hereof.  Prior to the expiration or termination of this Lease, Tenant shall remove from the Property all furniture, trade fixtures, equipment, wiring and cabling (unless Landlord directs Tenant otherwise), and all other personal property installed by Tenant or its assignees or subtenants.  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 damages suffered by Landlord.

 

(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 for the initial sixty (60) days shall be one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Monthly Rent payable for the last full month immediately preceding the holdover, then for all other holdover periods Monthly Rent shall be one hundred seventy five percent (175%) of the Monthly Rent payable for the last full month immediately preceding the holdover; provided, however, that if Landlord has notified Tenant prior to the end of the term that (i) Landlord has leased the Premises to another tenant, and (ii) the date by which Landlord requires access to the

 

10



 

Premises to prepare the Premises for the new tenant’s occupancy, then beginning on the date that Landlord requires possession of the Premises as set forth in Landlord’s notice, Tenant shall pay to Landlord for any period following such date until Tenant vacates the Premises, any damages incurred by Landlord with respect to such holdover, in addition to base rent as set forth above in this paragraph.  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 as set forth above.

 

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 subsection (d) hereinbelow, Tenant fails to cure such default on or before the date that is five (5) business days after Landlord gives Tenant 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 subsection (d) hereinbelow, Tenant fails to cure the default on or before the date that is thirty (30) days after Landlord gives Tenant notice of default; provided, however, if the default cannot reasonably be cured within thirty (30) days following Landlord’s giving of notice, Tenant shall be afforded additional reasonable time (not to exceed sixty (60) days following Landlord’s notice) to cure the default if Tenant begins to cure the default within fifteen (15) days following Landlord’s 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 bill 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 sixty (60) 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 not later than ten (10) days following written request for any reasonable sums paid or costs incurred by Landlord (together with an administrative fee of ten percent (10%) 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;

 

(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, 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, not later than ten (10) days following written request, for any deficiency (taking into account all 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;

 

(iii)                               Provided that the preceding Event of Default is material in nature, 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, provided that such amount shall be discounted to present value at a rate of seven percent (7%) ; 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)                                  Intentionally Omitted.

 

11



 

(d)                                 Any provision to the contrary in this section notwithstanding, (i) Landlord shall not be required to give Tenant the notice and opportunity to cure a monetary default provided in subsection (a) hereinabove 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 Tenant the notice and opportunity to cure a materialdefault of a material non-monetary provision of this Lease, provided in subsection (a) hereinabove, more than two times 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 (iii) Landlord shall not be required to give such notice prior to exercising its rights if Tenant fails to comply with the provisions of Sections 13, 20 or 27 or in an emergency.

 

(e)                                  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.

 

(f)                                   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.

 

(g)                                 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.

 

(h)                                 When this Lease and the Term or any extension thereof shall have been terminated on account of any material Event of Default by Tenant, or when the Term or any extension thereof shall have expired, Tenant hereby authorizes any attorney of any court of record of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to appear for Tenant and for anyone claiming by, through or under Tenant and to confess judgment against all such parties, and in favor of Landlord, in ejectment and for the recovery of possession of the Premises, for which this Lease or a true and correct copy hereof shall be good and sufficient warrant.  AFTER THE ENTRY OF ANY SUCH JUDGMENT A WRIT OF POSSESSION MAY BE ISSUED THEREON WITHOUT FURTHER NOTICE TO TENANT AND WITHOUT A HEARING.  If for any reason after such action shall have been commenced it shall be determined and possession of the Premises remain in or be restored to Tenant, Landlord shall have the right for the same default and upon any subsequent default(s) or upon the termination of this Lease or Tenant’s right of possession as herein set forth, to again confess judgment as herein provided, for which this Lease or a true and correct copy hereof shall be good and sufficient warrant.

 

Initials on behalf of Tenant:TBS

 

(i)                                    The warrants to confess judgment set forth above shall continue in full force and effect and be unaffected by amendments to this Lease or other agreements between Landlord and Tenant even if any such amendments or other agreements increase Tenant’s obligations or expand the size of the Premises.

 

(j)                                    TENANT EXPRESSLY AND ABSOLUTELY KNOWINGLY AND EXPRESSLY WAIVES AND RELEASES (i) ANY RIGHT, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, UNDER ANY APPLICABLE STATUTE, WHICH TENANT MAY HAVE TO RECEIVE A NOTICE TO QUIT PRIOR TO LANDLORD COMMENCING AN ACTION FOR REPOSSESSION OF THE PREMISES AND (ii) ANY RIGHT WHICH TENANT MAY HAVE TO NOTICE AND TO HEARING PRIOR TO A LEVY UPON OR ATTACHMENT OF TENANT’S PROPERTY OR THEREAFTER AND (iii) ANY PROCEDURAL ERRORS IN CONNECTION WITH THE ENTRY OF ANY SUCH JUDGMENT OR IN THE ISSUANCE OF ANY ONE OR MORE WRITS OF POSSESSION OR EXECUTION OR GARNISHMENT THEREON.

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 and Tenant.

 

(a)                                 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).  Provided such successor Landlord has assumed the obligations of Landlord hereunder, 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.  Landlord shall not be deemed to be in default under this Lease unless Tenant gives Landlord notice specifying the default and Landlord fails to commence a cure of the default within a reasonable period following Tenant’s notice.  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 respect to any of the provisions of this Lease or the Premises; Tenant shall look solely to the equity of Landlord in the Property, including any proceeds from the sale or disposition thereof, for the satisfaction of any claim by Tenant against Landlord.

 

(b)                                 Except as set forth in Section 21(b), in no event shall Tenant be liable to Landlord for any loss of business or profits of Landlord or for consequential, punitive or special damages of any kind.

 

25.                               Miscellaneous.

 

(a)                                 The captions in this Lease are for convenience only, are not a part of this Lease and do not in any way define, limit, describe or amplify the terms of this Lease.

 

(b)                                 This Lease represents the entire agreement between the parties hereto and there are no collateral or oral agreements or understandings between Landlord and Tenant with respect to the Premises or the Property.  No rights, easements or licenses are acquired in the Property or any land adjacent to the Property by Tenant by implication or otherwise except as expressly set forth in this Lease.  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.  The word “person” includes a natural person, a partnership, a corporation, a limited liability company, an association and any other form of business association or entity.  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.  All persons liable for the obligations of Tenant under this Lease shall be jointly and severally liable for such obligations.

 

(f)                                   Tenant shall not record this Lease or any memorandum without Landlord’s prior consent.

30.                               Extension OptionProvided that Landlord has not given Tenant notice of a material non-monetary default or any monetary default more than two (2) times in the 12-month period immediately preceding the Expiration Date, that there then exists no Event of Default by Tenant under this Lease nor any event that with the giving of notice and/or the passage of time would constitute an Event of Default, and that Tenant and Tenant’s Affiliates occupy all of the Premises, Tenant shall have the right and option (“Extension Option”) to extend the Term for one (1) additional period of five (5) years (the “Extension Term”), exercisable in the following manner.  If Tenant is desirous of exercising the extension option under this Section, Tenant shall give Landlord prior written notice, at least twelve (12) months in advance of the scheduled Expiration Date, of Tenant’s intention to extend the Term (“Tenant’s Extension Notice”); it being agreed that time is of the essence and that the Extension Option is personal to Tenant and is non-transferable to any assignee or sublessee or other party other than an Affiliate of Tenant.  Promptly after receipt of Tenant’s renewal notice, Landlord shall advise Tenant in writing of Landlord’s reasonable determination of the market rental rate for the Premises based upon comparable spaces and comparable buildings with comparable landlords in the Malvern/Route 202 sub-market and negotiated in good faith with Tenant.  If Tenant accepts such good faith, reasonable determination in writing within fifteen (15) business days of delivery of Landlord’s market rent notice, and Landlord and Tenant enter into a lease amendment, in form and substance mutually acceptable to Landlord and Tenant, within thirty (30) days of accepting Landlord’s determination of the market rental rate in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord and Tenant stating the terms of the Lease extension as provided in this Section, the Lease extension shall be effective.  If Tenant does not accept Landlord’s determination of market rent within fifteen (15) days, or does not enter into a lease amendment with Landlord within such additional thirty (30) days, the Lease Extension Option shall terminate, and the Expiration Date shall remain unchanged.  Such extension shall be under the same terms and conditions as provided in this Lease except as follows:

 

(a)                                 the additional period shall begin on the day following the Expiration Date, as such date may have been extended (the “Option Commencement Date”), and thereafter the Expiration Date shall be deemed to be five (5) years following the Option Commencement Date;

 

(b)                                 all references to the Term in this Lease shall be deemed to mean the Term as extended pursuant to this Section;

 

(c)                                  Tenant shall have no further option to extend the Term; and

 

(d)                                 the Minimum Annual Rent payable by Tenant shall be the then market rate as reasonably determined by Landlord and accepted by Tenant in accordance with this Section.

(b)                                 Term Based Early Termination Option.  Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Tenant shall have the right and option (“Term Based Early Termination Option”), exercisable by giving Landlord a minimum of twelve (12) months prior written notice thereof, to terminate this Lease effective on October 1, 2021 and by paying to Landlord at the time of giving notice a termination fee equal to the unamortized costs of the transaction represented by this Lease as of the termination date, which shall include Landlord’s unamortized costs incurred for the tenant improvements (including all architect’s and engineering fees) and legal fees incurred by Landlord in connection with the negotiation of this Lease (collectively, the “Transaction Costs”) plus a fee equal to three (3) months of Minimum Annual Rent and Operating Expenses calculated at the then current rates, including Minimum Annual Rent for the Available Expansion Space if the Expansion Option was exercised.  Such unamortized Transaction Costs shall be calculated by determining the remaining principal balance as of the effective date of termination of a hypothetical loan made on the Commencement Date in the original principal amount of the Transaction Costs, and repaid in equal monthly installments of principal and interest on the first of the month over a term of one hundred twenty (120) months (and, with respect to the Available Expansion Space if leased by Tenant, the period from the commencement date of the lease of the Available Expansion Space to the end of the initial Term) at an interest rate of eight (8%) per annum (the “Amortization Schedule”).  Tenant shall pay all Rent under the Lease and abide by all of the terms and conditions of the Lease through and including such early termination date.  Any such termination shall not relieve Tenant of liability for an event of default occurring prior to the effective date of termination.  The Transaction Costs are currently estimated to be $54.08/rsf (subject to adjustment).

32.                               Expansion Option.

 

(a)                                 Suite 290 consisting of approximately 3,194 rentable square feet, Suite 295 consisting of approximately 1,985 rentable square feet, and Suite 200 consisting of approximately 15,529 rentable square feet (each an “Available Expansion Space”) are, as of the date of this Lease, leased to other tenants (together with any assignees, each a “Current Tenant”).  If there then exists no Event of Default by Tenant under this Lease, and Tenant has not previously assigned this Lease or sublet all of the Premises except as permitted pursuant to Section 18, Tenant, subject to any existing rights or options contained within the lease of any Current Tenant as of the date hereof, shall have the right (“Expansion Option”) to include under this Lease the then Available Expansion Space for a term coterminous with the Term of this Lease, as it may be extended or renewed, but in no event for a period of less than three (3) years (the “Minimum Expansion Space Term”) measured from the full Rent commencement date for the Available Expansion Space, by written notice to Landlord identifying the Available Expansion Space which Tenant elects to lease, it being agreed that time is of the essence.  If necessary to meet the Minimum Expansion Space Term, Tenant shall at the same time also exercise the Extension Option as set forth in Section 30 of this Rider 2 to the Lease thereby extending the Term of the Lease for a period of five (5) years.  The size of the Available Expansion Space leased to Tenant shall be no smaller than the size of the same space as leased to the prior tenant.

(b)                                 Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing that the Available Expansion Space is available for lease by Tenant under this Section, specifying the date for the delivery of possession thereof to Tenant and Landlord’s opinion of the market rental rate with respect to the Available Expansion Space, as determined in good faith using recently consummated leasing transactions for comparable spaces and comparable buildings with comparable landlords in the Malvern/Route 202 sub-market (“Landlord’s Notice of Availability”).  Within fifteen (15) days following Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s Notice of Availability, Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing (the “Tenant Response”) that Tenant either (i) elects to exercise Tenant’s Expansion Option hereunder and that Tenant (which exercise shall be irrevocable) either (1) accepts Landlord’s determination of fair market rent for the Available Expansion Space, or (2) disagrees with Landlord’s determination of fair market rent in which event Tenant shall provide Landlord with a breakdown of terms (including Minimum Annual Rent, escalations, concessions, and tenant improvements) under which Tenant would agree to lease the Available Expansion Space (the “Tenant Proposed Terms”), or (ii) does not elect to exercise Tenant’s Expansion Option hereunder.

 

(c)                                  If Tenant does not issue the Tenant Response within such fifteen (15) day period set forth above or (i) issues the Tenant Response and elects not to lease the Available Expansion Space or (ii) issues the Tenant Response with Tenant Proposed Terms that are not acceptable to Landlord, which determination Landlord shall deliver to Tenant not later than fifteen (15) days after Landlord’s receipt of the Tenant Response, then this right of first offer to lease the Available Expansion Space will lapse and be of no further force or effect and Landlord shall have the right to lease all or part of the Available Expansion Space to any other party at any time on any terms and conditions acceptable to Landlord.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Landlord elects to move forward with a lease with a third party on economic terms that create an average effective Rent (i.e.: [average Minimum Annual Rent per rsf / Available Expansion Space term] less [costs per square foot amortized at 10% per annum / Available Expansion Space Term]) less than that set forth in the Tenant Proposed Terms, Landlord shall repeat the process set forth above and present Tenant with an opportunity to lease the Available Expansion Space on terms consistent with the Tenant Proposed Terms.

 

(d)                                 Terms of Lease of Available Expansion Space.  If Tenant exercises an Expansion Option with respect to any Available Expansion Space, then:

 

(i)                                     The Minimum Annual Rent for the Expansion Space shall be as determined in this Section 32, but shall in no event be less than the Minimum Annual Rent per rsf then being paid by Tenant for the Premises.

 

(ii)                                  Tenant’s Share will increase on account of the addition of such Available Expansion Space;

 

(iii)                               Tenant’s exercise of the Expansion Option shall specify the area of the then Available Expansion Space which Tenant elects to lease, which shall be subject to Landlord’s reasonable determination that any remaining Available Expansion Space not leased by Tenant is marketable to other tenants;

 

(iv)                              The commencement date of the lease of the Available Expansion Space will be the later of the date of Tenant’s exercise of the Expansion Option, or the date on which such Available Expansion Space is delivered to Tenant for the conduct of its business (taking into account any renovation, if applicable), vacant and free and clear of any tenancies or claims of tenancies, including the expiration or sooner termination of the Current Lease or any subsequent lease thereof, but in no event later than the commencement of Tenant’s business operations in such Available Expansion Space;

 

(v)                                 The expiration date of the lease of the Available Expansion Space will be the date upon which the Term of this Lease is scheduled to expire, including the Extension Term if exercised by Tenant; provided that if the Expiration Date of the Term of the Lease is less than three (3) years from the full Rent commencement date of the lease of the Available Expansion Space, Tenant shall be obligated to exercise its Extension Option as set forth in Section 31 in which event the Expiration Date of the Term shall be automatically extended to be the date which is at least five (5) years from the full Rent commencement date of the Available Expansion Space; and

 

(vi)                              The Available Expansion Space will be deemed a part of the Premises on and after the Expansion Space commencement date under and subject to this Lease and to all of the terms, obligations, conditions and options contained herein, whether or not a lease amendment is signed, but upon request of Landlord, Landlord and Tenant shall execute an amendment to this Lease incorporating such terms within thirty (30) days of Landlord’s request.

The plans and specifications for the installation of such generator and its attachment to the Premises shall be subject to Landlord’s reasonable prior approval.  The generator shall be screened, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, in a manner reasonably acceptable to Landlord.  Tenant shall minimize the noise disturbance to other tenants of the Building, including, but not limited to, scheduling testing during non-business hours.

 

(b)                                 Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall have the right and option to remove the generator, and all related appurtenances (including but not limited to, pad, transfer switch and conduit), at any time during the Term of this Lease.  Landlord shall also have the right, upon the expiration or any termination of this Lease, to require Tenant to remove such generator, and all related appurtenances, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense and to restore the Property and Building to the condition which existed prior to the installation of the generator. Tenant shall be responsible for all costs to repair damage caused to the Building, the property surrounding the Building, and any portions of the Building which connect such generator to the Premises, caused by such removal as well as all restoration costs.

 

(c)                                  Tenant shall operate, maintain and repair the generator in good condition and in accordance with applicable laws throughout the term of the Lease at Tenant’s sole cost and expense.  At Tenant’s sole cost, Tenant will enter into a maintenance contract for the generator on terms meeting specifications provided to Tenant by Landlord from time to time, and subject to Landlord’s approval, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.  Tenant shall provide a copy of its then in effect maintenance contract to Landlord.

LIBERTY PROPERTY LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, a Pennsylvania limited partnership (“Landlord”) as Landlord under that certain Lease dated                             , 20      , as amended by agreements dated                                                                               , (the “Lease”) by and between Landlord and                                                                   , a                                            (“Tenant”), as Tenant, subject to and specifically conditioned upon the following terms and conditions, hereby grants its consent to the assignment by Tenant, as assignor, to                              (“Assignee”) of Tenant’s rights and obligations as Tenant under the Lease with respect to the assigned Premises (the “Assignment”) in consideration of Tenant’s and Assignee’s acknowledgment and acceptance of the following terms and conditions:

 

1.                                      No Release.  This Consent shall in no way release Tenant or any person or entity claiming by, through or under Tenant from any of its obligations under the Lease, as the same may be amended from time to time, without respect to any provision to the contrary in the Assignment.

 

2.                                      Tenant’s Continuing Liability.  Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for any default under the Lease, whether such default is caused by Tenant or Assignee or anyone claiming by or through either Tenant or Assignee, but the foregoing shall not be deemed to restrict or diminish any right which Landlord may have against Assignee pursuant to the Lease, in law or in equity for violation of the Lease or otherwise.

 

3.                                      Assumption of Liability.  From and after the date of the Assignment, Assignee assumes all obligations of Tenant under the Lease (including, without limitation, all duties to cause and keep Landlord and others named or referred to in the Lease fully insured and indemnified in accordance with the terms of the Lease) with respect to the assigned Premises and ratifies and agrees to be bound by all the provisions of the Lease.  Further, Assignee confirms that it has reviewed the Lease with any legal counsel of Assignee’s choosing and Assignee agrees that Landlord shall have the right of direct action against Assignee pursuant to the same remedies as are available against Tenant.

 

4.                                      Limited Consent.  This Consent shall be deemed limited solely to the Assignment, and Landlord reserves the right to consent or to withhold consent and all other rights under the Lease with respect to any other matters including, without limitation, any further or additional assignments, subleases or transfers of the Lease or any interest therein or thereto.

 

5.                                      Parties Bound; Payment of Expenses.  By executing this Consent, Tenant and Assignee acknowledge and agree (a) to be bound by all of the terms and conditions of Landlord’s consent to the Assignment as set forth herein and (b) that Landlord shall not be bound by this Consent unless Landlord receives a fully executed original copy of this Consent

 



 

within thirty (30) days of the date of execution of this Consent, a certificate of Assignee’s insurance in compliance with Section 8(b) of the Lease and timely payment for its expenses in connection with this Consent in accordance with Section 18 of the Lease.

 

6.                                      Defined Terms.  All terms defined in the Lease shall have the same meaning in this Consent unless otherwise expressly set forth herein.

 

7.                                      Confession of Judgment.  Assignee agree to be bound to the following confession of judgment provisions as “Tenant”:

 

(a)                                 When this lease and the Term or any extension thereof shall have been terminated on account of any default by Tenant, or when the Term or any extension thereof shall have expired, Tenant hereby authorizes any attorney of any court of record of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to appear for Tenant and for anyone claiming by, through or under Tenant and to confess judgment against all such parties, and in favor of Landlord, in ejectment and for the recovery of possession of the Premises, for which this lease or a true and correct copy hereof shall be good and sufficient warrant.  AFTER THE ENTRY OF ANY SUCH JUDGMENT A WRIT OF POSSESSION MAY BE ISSUED THEREON WITHOUT FURTHER NOTICE TO TENANT AND WITHOUT A HEARING.  If for any reason after such action shall have been commenced it shall be determined and possession of the Premises remain in or be restored to Tenant, Landlord shall have the right for the same default and upon any subsequent default(s) or upon the termination of this lease or Tenant’s right of possession as herein set forth, to again confess judgment as herein provided, for which this lease or a true and correct copy hereof shall be good and sufficient warrant.

 

(b)                                The warrant to confess judgment set forth above shall continue in full force and effect and be unaffected by amendments to this Lease or other agreements between Landlord and Tenant even if any such amendments or other agreements increase Tenant’s obligations or expand the size of the Premises.  Tenant waives any procedural errors in connection with the entry of any such judgment or in the issuance of any one or more writs of possession thereon.

 

(c)                                 TENANT KNOWINGLY AND EXPRESSLY WAIVES (i) ANY RIGHT, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, UNDER ANY APPLICABLE STATUTE, WHICH TENANT MAY HAVE TO RECEIVE A NOTICE TO QUIT PRIOR TO LANDLORD COMMENCING AN ACTION FOR REPOSSESSION OF THE PREMISES.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF and intending to be legally bound and to bind their respective successors and assigns, Landlord, Tenant and Assignee have executed this Consent to Assignment as of the             day of                                   , 20      .
