If the audit shows an undercharge to Tenant, Tenant shall pay the amount due to Landlord within thirty (30) days after completion of the audit. If the audit indicates an overpayment by Tenant, then Tenant shall be entitled at Tenants sole option to either (i) to receive a refund from Landlord within thirty (30) days after receipt of such audit, or (ii) Landlord shall credit such excess against rent next becoming due under this Lease or any other payment obligations under this Lease.

(d)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease or in any other writing signed by Landlord, neither this Lease nor any other writing signed by Landlord shall be construed as evidencing, indicating, or causing an appearance that any erection, construction, alteration or repair to be done, or caused to be done, by Tenant is or was in fact for the immediate use and benefit of Landlord. Further, notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, nothing contained in or contemplated by this Lease shall be deemed or construed in any way to constitute the consent or request on the part of Landlord for the performance of any work or services or the furnishing of any materials for which any lien could be filed against the Premises or the Building or the Property or any part of any of them, nor as giving Tenant any right, power, or authority to contract for or permit the performance of any work or services or the furnishing of any materials for which any lien could be filed against the Premises, the Building, the Property or any part of any of them.

20.          Relocation of Tenant.

 

Landlord shall not have the right to relocate Tenant from the Premises during the Lease Term.

 

21.          Defaults -  Remedies.

 

If any of the following shall occur:

 

(a)           Tenant does not pay in full when due any and all installments of rent (whether Fixed Rent or additional rent) or any other charge or payment whether or not herein included as rent after five (5) days written notice, provided that such notice shall not be required more than two (2) times in any twelve (12) month period;

 

(b)           Tenant violates or fails to perform or comply with any non-monetary covenant, agreement or condition herein contained, and such violation or failure continues for thirty (30) days after notice thereof by Landlord to Tenant; provided however that if such failure is not reasonably susceptible of cure within such thirty (30) day period and provided Tenant is diligently pursuing the remedies necessary to cure such failure during the thirty (30) day period, Tenant shall have such additional time as is reasonably necessary to cure such failure;

 

(c)           Tenant abandons the Premises or removes or attempts to remove Tenants property therefrom other than in the ordinary course of business without having first paid to Landlord in full all rent and charges that may have become due as well as all which will become due thereafter; or

 

(d)           An involuntary case under the federal bankruptcy law as now or hereafter constituted is commenced against Tenant or any guarantor or surety of Tenants obligations under this Lease (Guarantor), or under any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, or other similar law, or there is filed against Tenant or a Guarantor a petition seeking the appointment of a receiver, liquidator or assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator (or similar official) of Tenant or a Guarantor of any substantial part of Tenants or a Guarantors property, or seeking the winding-up or liquidation of Tenants or a Guarantors affairs and such involuntary case or petition is not dismissed within sixty (60) days after the filing thereof, of if Tenant or a Guarantor commences a voluntary case or institutes proceedings to be adjudicated as bankrupt or insolvent or consents to the entry of an order for relief under the federal bankruptcy laws as now or hereafter constituted, or any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency or other similar law, or consents to the appointment of or taking possession by a receiver or liquidator or assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator (or other similar official) of Tenant or a Guarantor of any substantial part of Tenants or a Guarantors property, or if Tenant or any Guarantor makes any assignment for the benefit of creditors or admits in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due or fails to generally pay its debts as they become due or if Tenant is levied upon and is about to be sold out upon the Premises by any sheriff, marshall or constable or Tenant or its stockholders or Board of Directors or any committee thereof takes any action in contemplation, preparation or furtherance of or for any of the foregoing, or, if Tenant or any Guarantor is a corporation and is dissolved or liquidated,

 

 

 

25


 

 

Then, and in any such event, at the sole option of Landlord,

 

(i)           The whole balance of rent and all other sums payable hereunder for the entire balance of the term of this Lease, herein reserved or agreed to be paid by Tenant, or any part of such rent, charges and other sums, shall be taken to be due and payable from Tenant and in arrears as if by the terms of this Lease said balance of rent, charges and other sums and expenses were on that date payable in advance; and/or

 

(ii)           Landlord may terminate this Lease by written notice to Tenant. If Landlord elects to terminate this Lease, Landlord, in addition to Landlords other remedies, may recover from Tenant a judgment for damages equal to the sum of the following:

 

(A)           the unpaid rent and other sums which became due up to the time of such termination plus interest from the dates such rent and other sums were due to the date of the judgment at the Lease Interest Rate; plus

 

(B)           the present value at the time of judgment of the amount by which the unpaid rent and other sums which would have become due (had this Lease not been terminated) after termination until the date of the judgment exceeds the amount of loss of such rental and other sums Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus

 

(C)           the amount (as discounted at the rate of four percent (4%) per annum) by which the unpaid rent and other sums which would have become due (had this Lease not been terminated) for the balance of the term after the date of judgment exceeds the amount of loss of such rental and other sums that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus

 

(D)           any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused by Tenants failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary course would be likely to result therefrom including, without limitation, the cost of repairing the Premises and reasonable attorneys fees; plus

 

(E)           at Landlords election, such other amounts in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as may be permitted by applicable law.

 

As used in the foregoing clause (B), the present value at the time of judgment shall be computed by adding to the rent past due or which would have become due interest at the Lease Interest Rate from the dates such rent was or would have become due to the date of the judgment; and/or

 

(iii)           Landlord may terminate Tenants right of possession and may reenter and repossess the Premises by legal proceedings, force or otherwise, as allowed by law, without terminating this Lease. After reentry or retaking or recovering of the Premises, whether by termination of this Lease or not, Landlord may, but shall be under no obligation to, make such alterations and repairs, as Landlord may deem then necessary or advisable and relet the Premises or any part or parts thereof, either in Landlords name or otherwise, for a term or terms which may at Landlords option be less than or exceed the period which otherwise would have constituted the balance of the term of this Lease and at such rent or rents and upon such other terms and conditions as in Landlords sole discretion may seem advisable and to such

 

 

 

26


 

 

person or persons as may in Landlords sole discretion seem best; and whether or not the Premises are relet, Tenant shall be liable for any loss, for such period as is or would have been the balance of the term of this Lease, of rent and all other sums payable under this Lease, plus the cost and expenses of reletting and of redecorating, remodeling or making repairs and alterations to the Premises for the purpose or reletting, the amount of such liability to be computed monthly and to be paid by Tenant to Landlord from time to time upon demand. Landlord shall in no event be liable for, nor shall any damages or other sums to be paid by Tenant to Landlord be reduced by, failure to relet the Premises or failure to collect the rent or other sums from any reletting. Tenant shall not be entitled to any rents or other sums received by Landlord in excess of those provided for in this Lease. Tenant agrees that Landlord may file suit to recover any rent and other sums falling due under the terms of this Article from time to time and that no suit or recovery of any amount due hereunder to Landlord shall be any defense to any subsequent action brought for any other amount due hereunder to Landlord. Tenant, for Tenant and Tenants successors and assigns, hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Landlord, Tenants and their agent to collect the rents due or to become due under all subleases of the Premises or any parts thereof without in any way affecting Tenants obligation to pay any unpaid balance of rent or any other sum due or to become due hereunder. Notwithstanding any reletting without termination, Landlord may at any time thereafter elect to terminate this Lease for Tenants previous breach.

 

Whenever Landlord shall have the right to reenter the Premises, it shall have the right to remove all persons and property from the Premises and either treat such property as abandoned or at Landlords option store it in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost of and for the account of Tenant, all without service of notice or resort to legal process and without being deemed guilty of trespass, or becoming liable for any loss or damage which may be occasioned thereby.

 

Tenant waives the right to any notice to remove as may be specified in the Landlord and Tenant Act of Pennsylvania, Act of April 6, 1951, as amended, or any similar or successor provision of law.

 

For the purposes of computing the whole balance of rent and all other sums payable hereunder for the entire balance of the term of this Lease, the unpaid rent and other sums which would have become due (had this Lease not been terminated) after termination until the date of the judgment and the unpaid rent and other sums which would have become due (had this Lease not been terminated) for the balance of the term after the date of judgment, as such quoted or any similar phrases are used in this Article 21, the amounts of additional rents which would have been due per year under this Lease shall be such amounts as Landlord shall reasonably estimate to be the per annum rates of additional rent for the calendar year during which this Lease was terminated or during which rent was accelerated, increasing annually on the first day of each calendar year thereafter at the rate of seven percent (7%) per annum compounded.

 

The parties recognize that no adequate remedy at law may exist for a breach of Articles 6, 7 and 10 hereof. Accordingly, Landlord may obtain specific performance of any provision of Articles 6, 7 and 10 hereof. Neither such right nor its exercise shall limit any other remedies which Landlord may have against Tenant for a breach of such Articles, including, without limitation, all remedies available under this Article 21. The reference herein to specific

 

 

27


 

 

performance in connection with Articles 6, 7 and 10 shall not preclude the availability of specific performance, in any appropriate case, for the breach or threatened breach of any other provision of this Lease.

 

In addition to other remedies available to Landlord herein, Landlord may (but shall not be obligated to do so), cure any default on behalf of Tenant, and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord upon demand for all costs incurred by Landlord in curing such default, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys fees and other legal expenses, together with interest thereon at the Lease Interest Rate, which costs and interest thereon shall be deemed additional rent hereunder.

 

Also in addition to, and not in lieu of any of the foregoing rights granted to Landlord:

 

(A)           INTENTIONALLY OMITTED.

 

(B)           WHEN THIS LEASE OR TENANTS RIGHT OF POSSESSION SHALL BE TERMINATED BY COVENANT OR CONDITION BROKEN, OR FOR ANY OTHER REASON, EITHER DURING THE TERM OF THIS LEASE, AND ALSO WHEN AND AS SOON AS SUCH TERM SHALL HAVE EXPIRED OR BEEN TERMINATED, TENANT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AUTHORIZES AND EMPOWERS ANY ATTORNEY OR ANY COURT OF RECORD AS ATTORNEY FOR TENANT AND ANY PERSONS CLAIMING THROUGH OR UNDER TENANT TO CONFESS JUDGMENT IN EJECTMENT AGAINST TENANT AND ALL PERSONS CLAIMING THROUGH OR UNDER TENANT FOR THE RECOVERY BY LANDLORD OF POSSESSION OF THE PREMISES, FOR WHICH THIS LEASE SHALL BE SUFFICIENT WARRANT, WHEREUPON, IF LANDLORD SO DESIRES, A WRIT OF EXECUTION OR OF POSSESSION MAY ISSUE FORTHWITH, WITHOUT ANY PRIOR WRIT OR PROCEEDINGS WHATSOEVER, AND PROVIDED THAT IF FOR ANY REASON AFTER SUCH ACTION SHALL HAVE BEEN COMMENCED THE SAME SHALL BE DETERMINED, CANCELED OR SUSPENDED AND POSSESSION OF THE PREMISES HEREBY DEMISED REMAIN IN OR BE RESTORED TO TENANT OR ANY PERSON CLAIMING THROUGH OR UNDER TENANT, LANDLORD SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT, UPON ANY SUBSEQUENT DEFAULT OR DEFAULTS, OR UPON ANY SUBSEQUENT TERMINATION OR EXPIRATION OF THIS LEASE OR ANY RENEWAL OR EXTENSION HEREOF, OR OF TENANTS RIGHT OF POSSESSION, AS HEREINBEFORE SET FORTH, TO CONFESS JUDGMENT IN EJECTMENT AS HEREINBEFORE SET FORTH ONE OR MORE ADDITIONAL TIMES TO RECOVER POSSESSION OF THE SAID PREMISES.

 

IN ANY ACTION OF OR FOR EJECTMENT IF LANDLORD SHALL FIRST CAUSE TO BE FILED IN SUCH ACTION AN AFFIDAVIT MADE BY IT OR SOMEONE ACTING FOR IT SETTING FORTH THE FACTS NECESSARY TO A  UTHORIZE THE ENTRY OF JUDGMENT, SUCH AFFIDAVIT SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF SUCH FACTS; AND IF A TRUE COPY OF THIS LEASE (AND OF THE TRUTH OF THE COPY SUCH AFFIDAVIT SHALL BE SUFFICIENT EVIDENCE) BE FILED IN SUCH ACTION, IT SHALL NOT BE NECESSARY TO FILE THE ORIGINAL AS A WARRANT OF ATTORNEY, ANY RULE OF COURT, CUSTOM OR

 

 

 

28


 

 

PRACTICE TO THE CONTRARY NOTWITHSTANDING. TENANT RELEASES TO LANDLORD, AND TO ANY AND ALL ATTORNEYS WHO MAY APPEAR FOR TENANT, ALL PROCEDURAL ERRORS IN ANY PROCEEDINGS TAKEN BY LANDLORD, WHETHER BY VIRTUE OF THE WARRANTS OF ATTORNEY CONTAINED IN THIS LEASE OR NOT, AND ALL LIABILITY THEREFOR.

 

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, TENANT EXPRESSLY AND ABSOLUTELY KNOWINGLY AND EXPRESSLY WAIVES AND RELEASES ANY FIDUCIARY DUTIES OWED BY LANDLORD TO TENANT UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF 20 PA. C.S.A. §5601 ET SEQ.

 

As used in this Article 21, the term shall include the Term of this Lease and any renewals or extensions thereof to which Tenant shall have become bound.

 

22.           Remedies Cumulative.

 

All remedies available to Landlord under this Lease and at law and in equity shall be cumulative and concurrent. No termination of this Lease or taking or recovering possession of the Premises shall deprive Landlord of any remedies or actions against Tenant for rent, for charges or for damages for the breach of any covenant or condition herein contained, nor shall the bringing of any such action for rent, charges or breach of covenant or condition, nor the resort to any other remedy or right for the recovery of rent, charges or demands for such breach be construed as a waiver or release of the right to insist upon the forfeiture and to obtain possession. No reentering or taking possession of the Premises, or making of repairs, alterations or improvements thereto, or reletting thereof, shall be construed as an election on the part of Landlord to terminate this Lease unless written notice of such intention be given by Landlord to Tenant. The failure of Landlord to insist upon strict and/or prompt performance of the terms, agreements, covenants and conditions of this Lease or any of them, and/or the acceptance of such performance thereafter shall not constitute or be construed as a waiver of Landlords right to thereafter enforce the same strictly according to the tenor thereof in the event of a continuing or subsequent default.

 

23.           Excepted from Premises.

 

In the event that Exhibits A or D show as being within the Premises, hallways, passageways, stairways, elevators, or other means of access to and from the Premises or the upper and lower portions of the Building, the space occupied by the said hallways, passageways, stairways, elevators and other means of access, although within the Premises as described hereinabove, shall be taken to be excepted therefrom and reserved to Landlord or to the other lessees of the Building and the same shall not be considered a portion of the Premises. All ducts, pipes, wires or other equipment used in the operation of the Building, or any part thereof, and any space occupied thereby, whether or not within the Premises as described hereinabove, shall likewise be excepted and reserved from the Premises, and Tenant shall not remove or tamper with or use the same and will permit Landlord to enter the Premises to service, replace, remove or repair the same.

 

24.           Lease Subordinated.

 

 

 

29


 

 

(a)           This Lease shall be subject and subordinate at all times to the lien of any mortgage, deed of trust, ground lease, installment sale agreement and/or other instrument or encumbrance heretofore or hereafter placed upon any or all of Landlords interest or estate in the Premises or the remainder of the Property and of all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof (all of which are hereinafter referred to collectively as a mortgage), all automatically and without the necessity of any further action on the part of the Tenant to effectuate such subordination. The Tenant shall, at the request of the holder of any such mortgage, attorn to such holder, and shall execute, enseal, acknowledge and deliver, upon demand by the Landlord or such holder, such further instrument or instruments evidencing such subordination of the Tenants right, title and interest under this Lease to the lien of any such mortgage, and such further instrument or instruments evidencing and elaborating such attornment, as shall be reasonably desired by such holder. Further, as a condition to Tenants obligations under this Lease, Landlord, at Landlords sole cost, shall, within thirty (30) days of execution of this Lease, use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain an SNDA from the holder of any pre-existing mortgage in the form and substance attached hereto as Exhibit I. Further, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain an SNDA from any future mortgage holders, within thirty (30) of any new mortgage on the Property in the form and substance attached hereto as Exhibit I.

 

(b)           Anything contained in the foregoing provisions of this Article to the contrary notwithstanding, any such holder may at any time subordinate its mortgage to the operation and effect of this Lease, without the necessity of obtaining the Tenants consent thereto, by giving notice of the same in writing to the Tenant, and thereupon this Lease shall be deemed to be prior to such mortgage without regard to their respective dates of execution, delivery and/or recordation, and in that event such holder shall have the same rights with respect to this Lease as though this Lease shall have been executed, delivered and recorded prior to the execution and delivery of such mortgage.

 

25.           Condemnation.

 

(a)           If the whole or a substantial part of the Building shall be taken or condemned for a public or quasi-public use under any statute or by right of eminent domain or private purchase in lieu thereof by any competent authority, Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord and shall not have any claim or right to any portion of the amount that may be awarded as damages or paid as a result of any such condemnation or purchase including, without limit, any right of Tenant to damages for loss of its leasehold; all right of Tenant to damages therefor are hereby assigned by Tenant to Landlord. The foregoing shall not, however, deprive , limit, nor restrict Tenant of, or from, any separate award for moving expenses, business dislocation damages or for any other award which would not reduce the award payable to Landlord. Upon the date the right to possession shall vest in the condemning authority, this Lease shall cease and terminate with rent adjusted to such date and Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord for the value of any unexpired term of this Lease.

 

(b)           In the event of any temporary eminent domain taking of the Premises or any part thereof for temporary use, this Lease shall not be affected in any manner, the Term shall not be reduced, and the Tenant shall continue to pay in full the Fixed Rent, additional rent and all other sums of money and charges in this Lease reserved and provided to be paid by Tenant and Tenant shall be entitled to receive for itself such portion of any eminent domain award made for

such temporary use with respect to the period of the taking which is within the Term; provided that if such temporary taking shall remain in full force at the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, the award shall be apportioned between Landlord and Tenant in proportion to the respective portions of the period of temporary taking which falls within the Term and which falls outside the Term.

 

26.           Paramount Lease.

 

If Landlord is or becomes lessee or installment purchaser of the Premises or of the premises of which the Premises are a part, then Tenant agrees that Tenant takes possession subordinate to the interest of Landlords lessor or installment seller, its successors and assigns, but notwithstanding the foregoing, in case Landlords tenancy or interest as installment purchaser shall terminate either by expiration, forfeiture or otherwise, then Landlords lessor or installment seller, its heirs, administrators, executors, successors and assigns, shall have all the rights of Landlord under this Lease, following such termination. In the event of any such termination of Landlords tenancy or interest as installment purchaser, Tenant hereby agrees to attorn to Landlords lessor, its heirs, administrators, executors, successors and assigns, and to recognize such lessor or installment seller, its heirs, administrators, executors, successors and assigns, as Tenants Landlord for the balance of the term of this Lease and any extensions or renewals of this Lease. Tenant shall execute, enseal, acknowledge and deliver, upon demand by Landlord or Landlords lessor or installment seller, in a commercially reasonable form, such further instrument or instruments evidencing such subordination of Tenants right, title and interest under this Lease to the interests of such lessor or installment seller and such further instrument or instruments of attornment, as shall be desired by such lessor or installment seller.

41.           Right of First Offer.

 

The space in the Building consisting of approximately 19,900 rentable square feet known as Suite 200, as more particularly shown on Exhibit H attached hereto (the RFO Space), is on the date of this Lease leased to another tenant (the Current Tenant). If, at the termination of the lease to the Current Tenant (including option terms and any additional terms that may be negotiated between Landlord and the Current Tenant), Landlord intends to lease the RFO Space, and provided that Landlord has not given Tenant notice of a material non-monetary Event of Default or any monetary Event of Default more than two (2) times in the preceding 12- month period, 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 Tenants Affiliates occupy all of the Premises, Tenant shall have the one time right of first offer (the RFO Option) to lease all (but not less than all) of the RFO Space for a term of not less than five (5) years, in the following manner:

 

 

 

39


 

 

(a)           Landlord shall notify Tenant when the RFO Space first becomes available for lease by any party other than the Current Tenant and Landlord intends to offer the RFO Space to lease, advising Tenant in writing of Landlords determination of market rental rate and other terms to be applicable to the lease of the RFO Space, for a term of not less than live (5) years (Landlords Notice of RFO Terms). Within five (5) business days following Landlords delivery to Tenant of Landlords Notice of RFO Terms, Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing that Tenant either (1) accepts Landlords determination of market rental rate for the RFO Space, or (2) disagrees with Landlords determination and elects not to lease the RFO Space. If Tenant exercises the RFO Option, the RFO Space will be deemed a part of the Premises under this Lease whether or not a lease amendment is signed, but upon request of Landlord, Tenant shall execute an amendment to this lease incorporating such terms within five (5) days of Landlords request.

 

(b)           If Tenant does not issue the Tenant Response within such five (5) business days or issues the Tenant Response and elects not to lease the RFO Space, then this right of first offer to lease the RFO Space will lapse and will thereafter be of no further force or effect and Landlord shall have the right to lease all or part of the RFO Space to any other party at any time on any terms and conditions acceptable to Landlord.

 

(c)           The RFO Option is a one-time right if and when the RFO Space first becomes available, it is personal to Tenant and is non-transferable to any assignee or sublessee or other party, except for a party that is a Permitted Transfer (who shall be permitted to exercise the RFO Option pursuant to the same terms and conditions that Tenant can).. This right of first offer shall terminate upon the first offer of any RFO Space to Tenant.

 

42.           Application of Rent Abatement.

 

Pursuant to Section 4(b)(i) of this Lease, Tenant is afforded certain Abated Rent. At Tenant’s election, upon at least ten (10) days prior written notice to Landlord (the Abatement Notice), and provided that the Abated Rent has not already been applied to Tenants  Fixed Rent, Tenant may apply, up to three (3) months of Abated Rent ($126,205.89) towards the Tenant Allowance. In the event that Tenant elects to apply a portion of the Abated Rent towards the Tenant Allowance, Tenant shall, in the Abatement Notice, specifically state the amount that Tenant elects to apply towards the Tenant Allowance (the Allowance Amount). In no event shall the Allowance Amount exceed the remaining/unused Abated Rent. Upon receipt of the Abatement Notice, Landlord shall advise Tenant of the revised Fixed Rent schedule based upon the application of the Allowance Amount and of the new Tenant Allowance amount.

D.           Tenant has requested Lenders agreement that if Lender forecloses the Mortgage or otherwise exercises Lenders remedies under the Security Documents, Lender will not disturb Tenants right to quiet possession of the Premises under the terms of the Lease.

 

E.           Lender is willing to so agree on the terms and conditions provided in this Agreement, including, without limitation, Tenants agreement to subordinate the Lease and attorn to Lender as provided herein.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, for mutual consideration, including the mutual covenants and agreements set forth below, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

 

1.           SUBORDINATION. The Lease is and shall remain unconditionally subject and subordinate to (a) the liens or charges imposed by the Security Documents, (b) all currently outstanding or future advances secured by the Security Documents, and (c) all renewals, amendments, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions of the Security Documents. The subordination described herein is intended by the parties to have the same force and effect as if the Security Documents and such renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions of the Security Documents had been executed, acknowledged, delivered and recorded prior to the Lease and any amendments or modifications thereof.

 

2.           NON-DISTURBANCE. If Lender exercises any of its rights under the Security Documents, including any
right of entry on the Property pursuant to the Mortgage or upon a foreclosure of or deed in lieu of foreclosure of the Mortgage, Lender shall not disturb Tenants right of quiet possession of the Premises under the terms of the Lease, so long as Tenant is not in default under this Agreement or in default beyond any applicable grace period under the Lease.

 

3.           ATTORNMENT. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Lease, should title to the

 

Premises and the landlords interest in the Lease be transferred to Lender or any other person or entity by foreclosure of or deed in-lieu of foreclosure of the Mortgage, Tenant shall, for the benefit of Lender or such other person or entity, effective immediately and automatically upon the occurrence of any such transfer, attorn to Lender or such other person or entity as landlord under the Lease and shall be hound under all provisions of the Lease including, but not limited to, the obligation to pay all rent required to be paid by Tenant pursuant to the terms of the Lease, for the remainder of the Lease term.

 

4.           PROTECTION OF LENDER. If Lender succeeds to the interest of landlord under the Lease, Lender
shall not be: (a) liable for any act or omission of any previous landlord under the Lease; (b) subject to any offsets or defenses which Tenant may have against any previous landlord under the Lease; (c) bound by any payment of rent or additional rent which Tenant might have paid for more than one month in advance of the due date under the Lease to any previous landlord; (d) obligated to make any payment to Tenant which any previous landlord was required to make before Lender succeeded to the landlords interest; (e) accountable for any monies deposited with any previous landlord (including security deposits), except to the extent such monies are actually received by Lender; (f) bound by any amendment or modification of the Lease or any waiver of any term of the Lease made without Lenders written consent; (g) bound by any surrender or termination of the Lease made without Lenders written consent (unless effected unilaterally by Tenant pursuant to the express terms of the Lease); (h) obligated to complete any improvement or construction on the Property or to pay or reimburse Tenant for any tenant improvement allowance, construction allowance or leasing commissions; (i) liable for any default of any previous landlord tinder the Lease; (j) bound by any provision in the Lease granting Tenant a purchase option or first right of refusal or offer with regard to the Property. Furthermore, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or the Lease, upon any such succession, the Lease shall be deemed to have been automatically amended to provide that Lenders obligations and liabilities under the Lease shall be limited solely to Lenders interest, if any, in the Property, and the proceeds from any sale or disposition of the Property by Lender (collectively, Lenders Interest) and, following such succession, Tenant shall look exclusively to Lenders Interest for the payment or discharge of any obligations of Lender under the Lease.

 

5.           LENDERS RIGHT TO CURE. Tenant shall deliver to Lender a copy of any notice of any default(s) by
landlord under the Lease in the same manner as, and whenever, Tenant shall give any such notice to Owner, and no such notice shall be deemed given to Owner unless and until a copy of such notice shall
