(h) COMMENCEMENT DATE”: The Lease Term shall commence upon the Effective Date of this Lease.

Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else herein to the contrary, if the Tenant is unable to commence construction of the Tenant Improvements (as hereinafter defined) by August 15, 2020 due to a COVID-19 Delay (as defined below), the Rent Commencement Date shall be extended one day for each day past such date, but not to exceed forty-five (45) days, that commencement of construction of the Tenant Improvements is delayed due to a delay in the issuance of any construction permit due in whole or in part to

Page 2 of 34



a COVID-19 Delay; provided, however, that in order to claim a COVID-19 Delay, Tenant shall provide written notice to Landlord of a COVID-19 Delay within forty-eight (48) hours of
actual knowledge of such delay. In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else herein to the contrary, if Tenant is unable to commence construction of the Tenant Improvements by August 15, 2020 due to Landlord’s failure to provide electric service to the Premises as provided in Section 6.01 herein, the Rent Commencement Date shall be extended one day for each day past August 15, 2020 that commencement of construction of the Tenant Improvements is delayed due to Landlord’s failure to provide electric service to the Premises as provided in Section 6.01 herein.

(j)“TENANT IMPROVEMENT ALLOWANCE”: Landlord shall pay to Tenant a Tenant Improvement Allowance of [***] Dollars and 00/100 ($[***]) per rentable square foot, for a total of [***] Dollars and 00/100 ($[***]; subject to adjustment for any re-measurement of the Premises as heretofore provided) as a contribution toward the cost of the Tenant Improvements as defined in Section 2.02. The Tenant Improvement Allowance shall be used for construction, architectural and engineering services, project management, voice/data cabling, security systems, and moving costs; provided, however, that at least 75% of the Tenant Improvement Allowance must be used for hard construction costs and related items for the Tenant Improvements. Tenant shall receive reimbursements from the Tenant Improvement Allowance on a monthly basis upon submittal of documentation to Landlord as provided herein. To the extent that the funds for the Tenant Improvement Allowance are to be paid by the Tenant’s Lender, Employee Real Estate Construction Trust Fund (the “Lender”), the Landlord has directed its Lender to disburse the proceeds for the Tenant Improvement Allowance directly to the Tenant. Tenant with its request for the disbursement of the Tenant Improvement Allowance shall provide the account information for the receipt of the Tenant Improvement Allowance. Landlord has advised the Tenant that its Lender has approved of the payment directly to the Tenant.

(l)“BROKER(S)”: Hanna Langolz Wilson Ellis, representing Tenant and CBRE, Inc. representing Landlord, individually and collectively.

(m)“PERMITTED USE”: Tenant shall be permitted to utilize the Premises for medical device manufacturing (including, but not limited to sterilization), warehouse, distribution, general, administrative and executive offices, operations center, customer service center, recruiting, business processing, training and sales, and all uses ancillary thereto, provided such use conforms to all applicable zoning requirements of the appropriate governmental authority sufficient to entitle Tenant to an occupancy permit from such governmental authority. Any use other than this must be approved in advance in writing by Landlord.

(n)“COVID-19 ORDER”: Any declaration, order, directive, guidance, announcement, recommendation or and other broad communication that have been or may be issued by a governmental authority aimed at controlling, limiting, slowing, mitigating or otherwise managing the novel coronavirus known as COVID-19 or any mutation thereof.

Page 4 of 34



appurtenant thereto necessary for access to the Premises, including, without limitation, driveways, parking areas and sidewalks, that are designed for use in common by a tenant of the Building and its respective employees, agents, contractors, representatives, customers, guests, invitees and others and the right to use the Common Areas of the Property for the installation of silos, HVAC, transformers, parking (additional and existing) and other equipment for the Permitted Use provided that Tenant obtains all necessary approvals from governmental authorities and that any such installation is in accordance with the terms of this Lease and as shown on the plan attached hereto as Exhibit C-1 , (it being understood that the plan layout may change but the general scope of the exterior improvements are depicted on Exhibit C-1) . Landlord leases the Property pursuant to a ground lease (“Ground Lease Agreement”) between Landlord and The Allegheny County Airport Authority (“Ground Lessor”) dated September 27, 2018. Landlord warrants and represents that it has the right to enter into this Lease with the Tenant without any consent by the Ground Lessor or any holder of a mortgage on the Landlord’s leasehold interest or any fee mortgage of the Ground Lessor, or if so required such consents have been secured.

Tenant agrees that it shall not take any action that would violate or cause a default under the Ground Lease Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit F. Landlord may amend the Ground Lease but no such amendment shall be binding upon Tenant which would (i) adversely impact the Permitted Use, (ii) will materially impact any other rights of Tenant under the Lease, or (iii) materially increase Tenant’s cost or expenses or any other obligations under the Lease.

Landlord, at Landlord’s sole cost and expense, shall, by the earlier of (i) July 15, 2020 or (ii) fourteen (14) days after the submission by Tenant of a Building Permit application to Findlay Township, provide for the rental and delivery of a portable diesel generator with a full fuel tank to the parking lot of the Property for Tenant’s use on a 24-hour per day/7-day per week basis until 1200 amp permanent power to the Building is connected, tested, inspected and all required municipal permit sign-offs are received by Landlord and provided to Tenant in writing.  Tenant agrees that it shall notify Landlord at [***] within three (3) days of Tenant’s submission of the Building Permit application referenced in this paragraph.

Section 1.03. Park Common Areas.

The Premises are leased together with the rights granted to Landlord under the Ground Lease Agreement to use, in common with other tenants in the Clinton Commerce Center (“Park”), and their respective agents, invitees and employees all exterior areas and facilities (including, without limitation, sidewalks, driveways and landscaped areas) in the Park which are made available by the owner of the Park to Tenant and other tenants within the Park and/or to the general public, in common (“Park Common Areas”). The amount of Park Common Areas attributable to the Premises is 10% (17.11 acres / 171.44 acres) (“Park Proportionate Share”) and is included as part of Operating Expenses.

ARTICLE 2 - LEASE TERM AND POSSESSION

Section 2.01. Lease Term.

The Lease Term shall commence as of the Commencement Date. Landlord will provide simultaneously with the execution of this Lease a Ground Lease Estoppel and Non-Disturbance Agreement in the form attached to this Lease as Exhibit E and signed by Ground Landlord, and a Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement from any existing lender holding a fee or leasehold mortgage or other interest in the Property in substantially the form attached to this Lease as Exhibit E-1. Promptly following the Commencement Date, Tenant shall execute Landlord's Letter of Understanding in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B and made a part hereof, with an updated thereof promptly following the Rent Commencement Date, acknowledging, among other things, that Tenant has accepted the Premises, subject


Page 5 of 34



to the provisions of this Lease. If Tenant takes possession of and occupies the Premises, Tenant shall be deemed to have accepted the Premises and that the condition of the Premises and the Building was at the time satisfactory and in conformity with the provisions of this Lease in all respects, except for latent defects and other items specifically identified in Exhibit B and the provisions of this Lease.
Section 2.02. Construction of Tenant Improvements.
(a) Tenant intends to design, construct and install all leasehold improvements to the Premises (collectively, the "Tenant Improvements") generally in accordance with Exhibit C and Exhibit C-1 attached hereto and made a part hereof, which are hereby consented to by the Landlord. Tenant shall provide the Landlord with copies of all construction plans submitted for applicable permits and the final plans and permits secured from the appropriate municipalities and utilities.
(b)  Tenant shall utilize a general contractor of its choice for construction of the Tenant Improvements and the selection of such contractor shall be subject to the terms of subsection (d) hereafter. Tenant shall provide all contractors performing Tenant Improvements with a copy of Landlord's Contractor Rules and Regulations attached as Exhibit C-2 ("Contractor Guidelines"). In the event of a conflict between the Contractor Guidelines and the provisions of this Lease, the provisions of the Contractor Guidelines shall govern and control. Tenant shall be responsible for causing Tenant's contractors to comply with the Contractor Guidelines, and shall cause such Contractor Guidelines to be incorporated as part of the construction contract with the Contractor engaged by the tenant. Tenant shall be solely responsible for ensuring that the Tenant Improvements are completed in accordance with all applicable codes and for all construction and occupancy permits related to the Tenant Improvements.
(c) All Tenant Improvements shall be completed at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, subject to payment of the Tenant Improvement Allowance pursuant to Section 1.01(j), which Tenant Reimbursement Allowance shall be reimbursed by the Landlord to the Tenant on a monthly basis as provided in this Lease. Landlord's obligation to make each payment of the Tenant Improvement Allowance to Tenant shall be contingent upon: (i) Tenant providing evidence that all invoices related to the portion of the Tenant Improvement reimbursement being requested have been paid in full and (ii) Landlord's receipt of copies of executed lien waivers from all contractors engaged by the Tenant who have a right to file a mechanic’s lien again the Premises and whose contract exceeds $25,000.00 evidencing that said contractors have been paid in full for completed work to date for which reimbursement from Landlord to Tenant is being requested and lien releases for the disbursements being requested. Provided that (i) Tenant is not in default of the terms of this Lease beyond applicable cure periods and (ii) Tenant has delivered the items required in Section 2.02(c) to Landlord, following the Rent Commencement Date and Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s payment of the first month’s Rent, Tenant may request that Landlord pay any remaining balance of the Tenant Improvement Allowance to Tenant. Payment of installments of the Tenant Improvement Allowance shall be made within thirty (30) days of Tenant’s request and provision of the required documents.
To the extent that Landlord does not pay the Tenant Improvement Allowance to the Tenant as provided herein, and provided that Tenant is not in default of the terms of this Lease beyond applicable cure periods and Tenant has provided the executed lien waivers required by this Section 2.02(c), the Tenant shall have the right to offset the Tenant Improvement Allowance, or such applicable portion thereof as has not been paid by the Landlord as provided herein, against the next payments of Rent coming due. Provided, however, if the Landlord disputes in good faith that the Tenant Improvement Allowance requested by the Tenant is not properly due because Tenant is in default of the terms of this Lease beyond applicable cure periods or has failed to provide the executed lien waivers required by this Section 2.02(c), the Landlord shall provide the Tenant within five (5) days of the receipt of the request for the disbursement of the Tenant Improvement Allowance of its reasons therefore. If the parties are not able to resolve the dispute within fifteen (15) days from the date of Tenant’s request for the reimbursement with all required supporting

Page 6 of 34



documents, then the matter shall be submitted to resolution in accordance with the provisions of Section 16.16 hereof.

Upon completion of the Tenant Improvements, Tenant will provide Landlord with (i) a complete list of all subcontractors, vendors and/or material suppliers contracted for the Tenant Improvements and final lien waivers from all such subcontractors, vendors or materials suppliers whose contract amount exceeds $25,000.00 and who has a right to file a mechanic’s lien against the Premises, (ii) Tenant submission to Landlord of as-built drawings documenting the Tenant Improvements, and (iii) a copy of the certificate of occupancy (or other certificates evidencing inspection and acceptance of the Tenant Improvements by appropriate government authorities).

(d)  This Section 2.02(d) will be in effect while Landlord’s existing construction loan is outstanding. Except as otherwise approved in writing and in advance by Landlord, the following applies to all construction work at the Building and the Premises that is performed by individuals or contractors retained by Landlord or Tenant:

All construction work, including interior and tenant finish work and the continuing service maintenance contracts on the heating, ventilation, refrigeration, and air conditioning equipment, shall be performed by union contractors or subcontractors which are parties to and bound by a collective bargaining agreement with labor organizations affiliated with the local union Building and Construction Trades Council and the Area Regional District Council of Carpenters. All contractors and subcontractors shall comply with prevailing craft jurisdictions in the area.

The above language shall be included in each agreement with any contractor, subcontractor and tenant, and each party shall comply with the foregoing. The Landlord shall provide the Tenant upon request by Tenant with confirmation if the aforesaid provision is still in force and effect.
Section 2.03. Right to Extend Term.

Landlord grants Tenant the right and option to extend the Lease Term for up to two (2) consecutive periods of five (5) years each followed by one (1) consecutive period of four (4) years (each an “Option Term”). The Lease Term shall be extended for the Option Term provided: (a) written notice of Tenant’s election to exercise its right and option to extend the Lease Term is given to Landlord at least twelve (12) months prior to the expiration of the Lease Term or previous Option Term, as applicable, and (b) no Tenant Default then exists beyond applicable cure periods under the Lease. Within thirty (30) days of request of the Tenant made no more than eighteen (18) months prior to the expiration of the then Term, Landlord shall provide to Tenant a Notice of the Minimum Annual Rent (“Notice of Option Term Rent”) for the applicable Option Term. If the Tenant elects to extend the Term, the Landlord and the Tenant shall work in good faith to reach agreement on the Minimum Annual Rent for the applicable Option Term for a period not to exceed thirty (30) days after Landlord delivers its Notice of Option Term Rent to the Tenant. If Tenant extends the Lease Term as aforesaid, then the Lease Term shall be duly extended for the applicable Option Term upon all of the same terms, provisions and conditions, except as hereinafter provided, and all references contained in this Lease to the Lease Term shall be construed to refer to the Lease Term as extended, whether or not specific reference thereto is made in this Lease. If the Landlord and the Tenant do not reach Agreement on the Minimum Annual Rent as aforesaid, then the Minimum Annual Rent for each Option Term will be at the then prevailing market rate, corresponding to the “Fair Market Rent” (“FMR”); provided, however, that FMR shall not include the amortized value of any Tenant specific furniture, fixtures, equipment, Tenant Improvements or Specialized Alterations.



Page 7 of 34



If Landlord and Tenant cannot mutually agree on the FMR for Minimum Annual Rent for an Option Term as aforesaid, then each will appoint an MAI real estate appraiser whose instruction shall be to appraise the FMR for the Premises within 30 days based on an analysis of the Premises and properties in the area of and comparable to the Premises, but excluding the amortized value of any Tenant specific furniture, fixtures, equipment, Tenant Improvements or Specialized Alterations. If an appraisal of the FMR for the Option Term has not been received or determined, or, after such appraisals are performed, Landlord and Tenant still cannot reach mutual agreement as to the FMR for the Option Term, then Tenant shall have the right to revoke and rescind its exercise of the Option Term with not less than nine (9) months written notice to Landlord (or within thirty (30) days after receipt or determination of FMR as provided herein if less than nine (9) months remain prior to the expiration of the then Term), and this Lease shall then expire at the end of the then current term.

Section 2.04. Intentionally Omitted.

Section 2.05. Intentionally Omitted.

Section 2.06. Surrender of the Premises.

Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, immediately (a) surrender the Premises to Landlord in broom-clean condition and in substantially the same condition that the Premises was in upon the shell final inspection except for all office space (provided, however, that the total amount of office space does not exceed twenty percent (20%) of the rentable square footage of the Premises) and restrooms (unless otherwise mutually agreed in writing between Landlord and Tenant), and (b) repair any damage required to restore the Premises to the condition existing upon the Commencement Date, reasonable wear and tear and casualty excepted; provided, however, Tenant agrees that it shall remove from the Premises (i) all fixtures, furniture and equipment, and (ii) any Specialized Alterations (whether performed as part of the Tenant Improvements or afterwards) required to be removed pursuant to Section 7.03. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, all of Tenant’s Property (as defined in Section 8.01 below) that is not removed shall be conclusively deemed to have been abandoned and Landlord shall be entitled to dispose of Tenant’s Property at Tenant’s costs, without incurring any liability to Tenant.

If Landlord does not agree with Tenant’s audit, then Tenant may commence arbitration proceedings against Landlord within forty-five (45) days after the later of (i) date that Tenant delivers its audit to Landlord and (ii) Landlord notifies Tenant that it does not concur with the results of the audit and the reasons therefore.

Therefore, in addition to the other remedies available to Landlord hereunder, if any payment required to be paid by Tenant to Landlord hereunder shall become overdue after ten (10) days from written notice from Landlord, Landlord may, in addition to all other rights and remedies which Landlord may have, assess a “late charge” equal to 1.5% of such amount, which charge may be assessed each month that the payment remains overdue; provided, however, Landlord shall not be required to give such written notice of late payment more than two (2) times per calendar year.

The effect of such waiver is not limited by the amount of such insurance actually carried or required to be carried, or to the actual proceeds received after a loss or to any deductible applicable thereto, and either party's failure to carry insurance required under this Lease shall not invalidate such waiver. The foregoing waiver shall apply regardless of the cause or origin of any such claim, including, without limitation, the fault or negligence of either party or such party's employees, agents or contractors. The Special Form Insurance policies and Workers' Compensation Insurance policies maintained by Landlord and Tenant as provided in this Lease shall include an express waiver of any rights of subrogation by the insurance company against Landlord or Tenant, as applicable.

ARTICLE 9 - CASUALTY

Section 9.01. Untenantable Damage or Destruction – Complete or Substantial.

If the Premises are damaged or destroyed by fire, earthquake or any other casualty to such an extent as to render the same untenantable in whole or in substantial part greater than 70% (“Substantial Casualty”), Tenant shall give Landlord immediate notice of the occurrence of any such casualty. Unless Landlord, within sixty (60) days after receipt of such notice, notifies Tenant of its election to repair or to restore the Premises, this Lease shall terminate at the end of such sixty (60) day period and Tenant's liability for Rent shall cease as of the day following the casualty and any Rent paid by Tenant in advance and not yet earned as of the dateof termination shall be refunded to Tenant. If Landlord elects to repair or restore the Premises,

Page 20 of 34



the Rent shall be abated during the period from the day following the casualty until completion of the repair or restoration in the same proportion as the untenantable portion of the Premises bears to the former rentable area thereof. Landlord shall have two hundred seventy (270) days to complete the restoration after it notifies Tenant of Landlord’s intent to restore the Premises. If the Landlord elects not to restore the Premises and provides notice to the Tenant, provided that Landlord’s Lender consents, Tenant shall have the right to elect to restore the Premises upon notice to the Landlord given within thirty (30) days of the receipt by Tenant of the Landlord’s notice to not restore and the Landlord’s Lender consent and release of insurance proceeds for such restoration, provided the insurance proceeds shall be made available by the Landlord for the restoration, and the Tenant shall have the right to undertake the restoration subject to the receipt of the insurance proceeds from the Landlord. Provided, however, if there is less than six (6) years remaining on the then Term, the Tenant shall be required as a condition of such election to restore to extend the Term for the next available Option Term.

In the event of a Substantial Casualty, Tenant shall have the option to terminate this Lease by notice to the Landlord given within sixty (60) days of the date of such Substantial Casualty; and shall have the further right to terminate the Lease upon sixty (60) days notice to the Landlord if the Landlord does not complete the restoration, if undertaken as aforesaid, within the aforesaid time period and sixty (60) days notice as aforesaid.

Section 9.02. Untenantable Damage or Destruction – Partial.

If the Premises are damaged by fire, earthquake or any other casualty to such an extent that the Premises shall be rendered untenantable in part (but less than a substantial part, defined as less than seventy (70%), Tenant shall give Landlord immediate notice of the occurrence of any such casualty. Landlord, to the extent of insurance proceeds, shall promptly at its own expense repair and restore the Premises to the shell and core condition as of the date of delivery of the Premises to the Tenant and Tenant shall thereafter undertake to restore the tenant improvements to the Premises; provided, nothing herein shall obligate Landlord to repair or restore the Premises if the casualty occurs within twelve (12) months of the end of the Lease Term unless the Tenant elects to extend the next available Option Term. The Rent shall be abated proportionately as to the portion of the Premises rendered untenantable from the day following the casualty until completion of the repair and restoration of both the Landlord and the Tenant as aforesaid. The foregoing notwithstanding, if Tenant is unable to reasonably operate their business in such reduced space, the Rent shall abate until such time as Tenant may operate their business within the Premises.

Section 9.03. Tenantable Damage or Destruction.

If the Premises shall be damaged by fire, earthquake or any other casualty but are not thereby rendered untenantable in whole or in part, Tenant shall give Landlord immediate notice of the occurrence of any such casualty. Landlord, to the extent of insurance proceeds, shall promptly at its own expense repair and restore the Premises; provided, nothing herein shall obligate Landlord to repair or restore the Premises if the casualty occurs within twelve (12) months of the end of the Lease Term unless the Tenant elects to extend the Term of the Lease for the next available Option Term. Rent shall not be abated so long as the Premises remains tenantable, adjusted for any portion of the Premises that cannot be utilized by the Tenant for its operations.
ARTICLE 10 - EMINENT DOMAIN
If all or any substantial part of the Premises shall be acquired by the exercise of eminent domain, Landlord may terminate this Lease by giving written notice to Tenant on or before the date possession thereof is so taken.

Page 21 of 34



this Lease by giving written notice to Landlord as of the date possession thereof is so taken. All damages awarded shall belong to Landlord; provided, however, that Tenant may claim an award for relocation expenses but only if such amount is not subtracted from Landlord's award and does not otherwise diminish or adversely affect any award to Landlord.
ARTICLE 11 - ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLEASE
Section 11.01. Assignment and Sublease.
(a) Except with respect to Permitted Transfers and Permitted Business Occupants as hereafter provided, Tenant shall not assign this Lease or sublet the Premises in whole or in part without Landlord's prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. In the event of any permitted subletting, Tenant shall remain primarily liable hereunder. The acceptance of rent by Landlord from any other person or entity shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any of the provisions of this Lease or to be a consent to the assignment of this Lease or the subletting of the Premises. Except for Permitted Transfers, any assignment or sublease consented to by Landlord shall not relieve Tenant (or its assignee) from obtaining Landlord's consent to any subsequent assignment or sublease hereunder.
(b) By way of example and not limitation, Landlord shall be deemed to have reasonably withheld consent to a proposed assignment or sublease if in Landlord's opinion (i) the business of the proposed assignee or subtenant is not allowed per municipal zoning codes or other applicable laws; or (ii) the financial worth of the proposed assignee or subtenant is insufficient to meet the obligations of Tenant hereunder. Tenant is prohibited from publicly advertising a rent that is less than the lesser of then-current Rent and the rent publicly advertised for similar premises in the Building. If Landlord refuses to give its consent to any proposed assignment or subletting, subject to the Landlord’s obligation not to unreasonably withhold, condition or delay its consent, Landlord may, at its option, within thirty (30) days after receiving a request to consent, terminate this Lease by giving Tenant thirty (30) days prior written notice of such termination, whereupon each party shall be released from all further obligations and liability hereunder, except those which expressly survive the termination of this Lease.
(c) If Tenant shall make any assignment or sublease, with Landlord's consent, for a rental in excess of the rent payable under this Lease and any sublease costs incurred by Tenant including tenant improvement allowances and brokerage commissions, Tenant shall pay to Landlord fifty percent (50%) of any such excess rental upon receipt.
(d) Tenant agrees to pay Landlord upon demand $2,000.00 for its administrative, accounting and attorneys' fees incurred in conjunction with the processing and documentation of any requested assignment, subletting or any other hypothecation of this Lease or Tenant's interest in and to the Premises as consideration for Landlord's review, whether or not such request is approved.
Section 11.02. Permitted Transfers/Permitted Business Occupants
(a) Permitted Transfer Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 11.01 above, Tenant shall have the right, without Landlord's consent to (a) sublet all or part of the Premises to any related corporation or other entity which controls Tenant, is controlled by Tenant or is under common control with Tenant; (b) assign this Lease to any related corporation or other entity which controls Tenant, is controlled by Tenant, or is under common control with Tenant, or to a successor entity into which or with which Tenant is merged or consolidated or which acquires substantially all of Tenant's assets or property; or (c) effectuate any public offering of Tenant's stock on the New York Stock Exchange or in the NASDAQ over the counter market, provided that in the event of a transfer pursuant to clause (b), the tangible net worth of the successor entity after any such transaction is satisfactory to meet the obligations of the Tenant under


Page 22 of 34



this Lease and provided further that such successor entity assumes all of the obligations and liabilities of Tenant under this Lease (any such entity hereinafter referred to as a "Permitted Transferee"). Any such transfer shall relieve Tenant of its obligations under this Lease upon assumption of the successor entity. The Tenant shall give the Landlord notice of any Permitted Transfer as soon as reasonably practicable after such Permitted Transfer. Nothing in this Section is intended to nor shall permit Tenant to transfer its interest under this Lease as part of a fraud or subterfuge to intentionally avoid its obligations under this Lease (for example, transferring its interest to a shell corporation that subsequently files a bankruptcy).

        (b) Permitted Business Occupants. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, Tenant shall have the right, without the consent of Landlord, to designate portions of the Premises, which portion(s) shall not be separately demised, for temporary use by third parties who provide services in support of Tenant’s operations for the Permitted Use, including without limitation, Tenant’s consultants and auditors (“Permitted Business Occupants”) without being subject to this Article 11; provided, that (a) in no event shall the use of any portion of the Premises by any such Permitted Business Occupant create or be deemed to create any right, title or interest of such Permitted Business Occupant in any portion of the Premises or this Lease, (b) such use or occupancy shall terminate automatically upon the termination of this Lease, (c) no demising walls shall be erected (or shall otherwise be required by applicable Law) in the Premises separating the space used by a Permitted Business Occupant from the remainder of the Premises, provided, however, Tenant may install cubicles for the Permitted Business Occupants and for Tenant’s employees, (d) there shall be no separate identification of any Permitted Business Occupant on any entrance to the Premises, and (e) such Permitted Business Occupants do not otherwise cause an event of default under the terms of this Lease. Upon the written request of Landlord, Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing of all Permitted Business Occupants (if any) occupying the Premises. 

ARTICLE 12 - TRANSFERS BY LANDLORD; SUBORDINATION

Section 12.01. Sale of the Building.
Landlord shall have the right to sell the Building and/or any portion of the Property at any time during the Lease Term, subject only to the rights of Tenant hereunder; and such sale shall operate to release Landlord from liability accruing hereunder after the date of such conveyance provided that such successor Landlord assumes all obligations of Landlord under this Lease.
Section 12.02. Estoppel Certificate.
Within ten (10) business days following receipt of a written request from (i) Landlord, its lender(s), ground lessor or a purchaser of the Building, or other reasonable parties, or (ii) Tenant, or an Assignee or Permitted Transferee, Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be, shall execute, acknowledge and deliver, without cost, an estoppel certificate in such form as the party may reasonably request certifying (a) that this Lease is in full force and effect and unmodified or stating the nature of any modification, (b) the date to which rent has been paid, (c) that there are not, such party’s knowledge, any uncured defaults or specifying such defaults if any are claimed, and (d) any other matters or state of facts reasonably required respecting this Lease. Such estoppel may be relied upon by the requesting party, its lenders, assignees or other parties specified in the request for such Estoppel.
Section 12.03. Subordination.
This Lease is and shall be expressly subject and subordinate at all times to the lien of any present or future mortgage or deed of trust encumbering fee title to the Property or the Leasehold Estate of the Landlord, provided that the Tenant shall be provided with a Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement (“SNDA”) in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit E-1 from each holder of a

Page 23 of 34



mortgage on either the fee interest of the Property or the Leasehold interest of the Landlord under this Lease. If any such mortgage or deed of trust be foreclosed, Tenant will attorn to the lender or other purchaser at the foreclosure sale. The foregoing provisions are declared to be self-operative and no further instruments shall be required to effect such subordination and/or attornment; provided, however, that subordination of this Lease to any present or future mortgage or trust deed shall be conditioned upon receipt by Tenant of an the aforesaid SNDA which shall be binding upon such mortgagee, successor or purchaser at foreclosure agreeing that Tenant's occupancy of the Premises and other rights under this Lease shall not be disturbed by reason of the foreclosure of such mortgage or trust deed, as the case may be, so long as Tenant is not in default under this Lease. Within five (5) business days following receipt of a written request from Landlord, Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord, without cost, an instrument that Landlord deems reasonably necessary or desirable consistent with the provisions hereof to confirm the subordination of this Lease.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, simultaneously with the execution of this Lease, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant the Subordination, Non Disturbance and Attornment Agreements listed in this Section 12.03 from the mortgagee’s listed thereon, and otherwise in the forms attached hereto as Exhibit E-1. An Estoppel and Non-Disturbance Agreement substantially in the form as Exhibit E (“NDA”) executed by Ground Landlord with respect to the Ground Lease Agreement shall be delivered by the Landlord simultaneously with execution of this Lease.

ARTICLE 13 - DEFAULT AND REMEDY

Section 13.01. Default.

The occurrence of any of the following shall be a "Default":

(a) Tenant fails to pay any Monthly Rental Installments or Additional Rent within ten (10) days after written notice from Landlord (provided, however, Landlord shall only be required to provide such written notice two (2) times during a calendar year).

(b) Tenant fails to perform or observe any other term, condition, covenant or obligation required under this Lease (other than those governed by subsections (c) through (e) below) for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from Landlord; provided, however, that if the term, condition, covenant or obligation to be performed by Tenant is such that it cannot reasonably be performed within thirty (30) days, Tenant shall not be in default if Tenant commences such performance within said thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently undertakes to cure the same. Upon the occurrence of Tenant’s failure to commence and diligently pursue a cure to Tenant’s default, Landlord may undertake to effect a cure to extent required under the Lease upon ten (10) days’ written notice to Tenant (unless Tenant cures) and such expenses incurred thereby shall be reimbursed by Tenant to Landlord as Additional Rent.

(c) Intentionally Omitted.

(d) Tenant shall assign or sublet all or a portion of the Premises in violation of the provisions of Article 11 of this Lease.

(e) All or substantially all of Tenant's assets in the Premises or Tenant's interest in this Lease are attached or levied under execution (and Tenant does not discharge the same within sixty (60) days thereafter); a petition in bankruptcy, insolvency or for reorganization or arrangement is filed by or against Tenant (and Tenant fails to secure a stay or discharge thereof within sixty (60) days thereafter); Tenant is insolvent and unable to pay its debts as they become due; Tenant makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; Tenant takes the benefit of any insolvency action or law; the appointment of a receiver or

Page 24 of 34



trustee in bankruptcy for Tenant or its assets if such receivership has not been vacated or set aside within thirty (30) days thereafter; or, dissolution or other termination of Tenant's corporate charter if Tenant is a corporation.

Section 13.02. Remedies.

Upon the occurrence of any Tenant Default, but not earlier than ten (10) days following Landlord’s notice to Tenant of such default, Landlord shall have the following rights and remedies, in addition to those stated elsewhere in this Lease and those allowed by law or in equity, any one or more of which may be exercised without further notice to Tenant:

(a) Landlord may re-enter the Premises and cure any such Default of Tenant required of the Tenant to maintain the Premises in the condition required by this Lease, and Tenant shall, immediately upon demand, reimburse Landlord, as Additional Rent, for any reasonable costs and expenses that Landlord thereby incurs; and Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any loss or damage that Tenant may sustain by reason of Landlord's action.

(b) Intentionally Omitted.

(c) Without terminating this Lease, Landlord may terminate Tenant's right to possession of the Premises, and thereafter, neither Tenant nor any person claiming under or through Tenant shall be entitled to possession of the Premises. In such event, Tenant shall immediately surrender the Premises to Landlord, and Landlord may re-enter the Premises and dispossess Tenant and any other occupants of the Premises by any lawful means and may remove their effects, without prejudice to any other remedy that Landlord may have and Tenant shall remain liable to the Landlord the Rent due under this Lease as same becomes due under this Lease for the remainder of the then Term.

(d) Landlord may terminate this Lease and recover from Tenant the costs set forth in (a) above and an amount equal to (i) the present value of the excess, if any, discounted at the Prime Rate, of (A) the Minimum Annual Rent, Additional Rent and all other sums that would have been payable hereunder by Tenant for the Remaining Term, less (B) the aggregate reasonable rental value of the Premises for the Remaining Term, as determined by two real estate brokers licensed in the State of Pennsylvania who has at least ten (10) years of experience; one chosen by the Landlord and one chosen by the Tenant (and a third chosen by the two if the two brokers are unable to reach agreement); (ii) Landlord’s reasonable costs to relet the Premises, including but not limited to removal of Tenant Improvements, removal and/or disposal of Tenant Property, demolition, market rate leasing commissions, and tenant improvements for replacement tenant(s) but specifically excluding any tenant improvements for a replacement tenant in excess of [***] Dollars ($[***]) per square foot; and (iii) the unamortized portion of the Tenant Improvement Allowance. The cost of such real estate brokers shall be part of the costs due from the Tenant. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that the payment of the amount set forth in this clause above shall not be deemed a penalty, but shall merely constitute payment of liquidated damages, it being understood that actual damages to Landlord are extremely difficult, if not impossible, to ascertain. It is expressly agreed and understood that all of Tenant's liabilities and obligations set forth in this subsection (d) shall survive termination of this Lease.

(e) Intentionally Omitted.

(f) Landlord may sue for injunctive relief.

Section 13.03. Landlord's Default and Tenant's Remedies.




Page 25 of 34



Landlord shall be in default if it fails to perform any term, condition, covenant or obligation required under this Lease for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from Tenant to Landlord (including, without limitation, the obligation to reimburse Tenant the Tenant Improvement Allowance as provided in Section 2.01(c) therein); provided, however, that if the term, condition, covenant or obligation to be performed by Landlord is such that it cannot reasonably be performed within thirty (30) days, Landlord shall not be in default if Landlord commences such performance within said thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently undertakes to cure the same. Upon the occurrence of Landlord’s failure to commence and diligently pursue a cure to Landlord’s default, Tenant may sue for injunctive relief or to recover damages for any loss directly resulting from such default. The provisions of this Section 13.03 are in addition to the offset rights of Tenant otherwise set forth in this Lease for the failure of the Landlord with respect to payment of the Tenant Improvement Allowance and/or its obligations of Maintenance and Repair as set forth herein.

Landlord hereby waives any lien it may have, statutory or otherwise, on any of Tenant's property, furniture, fixtures and equipment on the Premises during the entire term of this Lease.

Section 13.04. Limitation of Landlord's Liability.

If Landlord shall fail to perform any term, condition, covenant or obligation required to be performed by it under this Lease, and if Tenant shall, as a consequence thereof, recover a money judgment against Landlord, Tenant agrees that it shall look solely to Landlord's right, title and interest in and to the Building (which shall include rents and insurance proceeds) for the collection of such judgment; and Tenant further agrees that no other assets of Landlord shall be subject to levy, execution or other process for the satisfaction of Tenant's judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have the right of offset as provided herein, including, but not limited to as set forth in Section 6.03, Section 7.01, and Section 13.03 of this Lease.

Section 13.05. Intentionally Omitted.

Section 13.06. Nonwaiver of Defaults.

Neither party's failure nor delay in exercising any of its rights or remedies or other provisions of this Lease shall constitute a waiver thereof or affect its right thereafter to exercise or enforce such right or remedy or other provision at that time or in the future. No waiver of any default shall be deemed to be a waiver of any other default. Landlord's receipt of less than the full rent due shall not be construed to be other than a payment on account of rent then due, nor shall any statement on Tenant's check or any letter accompanying Tenant's check be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such payment without prejudice to Landlord's right to recover the balance due or to pursue any other remedy available to Landlord. No act or omission by Landlord or its employees or agents during the Lease Term shall be deemed an acceptance of a surrender of the Premises, and no agreement to accept such a surrender shall be valid unless in writing and signed by Landlord.

Section 13.07. Attorneys' Fees.

If either party defaults in the performance or observance of any of the terms, conditions, covenants or obligations contained in this Lease and the non-defaulting party obtains a judgment against the defaulting party, then the defaulting party agrees to reimburse the non-defaulting party for reasonable attorneys' fees incurred in connection therewith.
