LEASE AGREEMENT

 

IN CONSIDERATION of the mutual promises contained herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby, Landlord and Tenant, in addition to the foregoing Summary, agree as follows:

 

1.                                      PREMISES. Landlord hereby leases to Tenant and Tenant hereby leases from Landlord the Premises. In connection with its use of the Premises, Tenant shall have the right to use the Parking Spaces.

 

2.                                      TERM.

 

(a)                                 The Term of this Lease shall commence on the Commencement Date, unless construction is delayed as provided in Paragraph 9(b).

 

(b)                                 Within thirty (30) days after the Commencement Date, Landlord and Tenant shall execute a letter agreement specifying the Commencement Date. Failure to execute such letter agreement shall in no way cause this Lease not to remain in full force and effect.

 

(c)                                  Tenant shall have the right to renew this lease for one (1) five (5) year renewal period under the same terms and conditions of the base lease with the exception that the starting rent for the period shall be 2% higher than the previous year’s rent. Six (6) months written notice will be required to exercise such options by Tenant.

 

(d)                                 Tenant shall surrender and deliver up the Premises at the end of the Term of this Lease in good order and condition as of the date of execution hereof, reasonable use and natural wear and tear excepted. If Tenant fails to surrender the Premises to Landlord on the date as required herein, Tenant shall hold Landlord harmless from all damages, direct and indirect, resulting from Tenant’s failure to surrender the Premises as herein provided, including but not limited to claims made by a succeeding tenant resulting from Landlord’s inability to deliver the Premises, or any part thereof, due to Tenant’s failure to surrender the Premises.

 

(i)        Should the Tenant, without the express written consent of the Landlord, continue to hold and occupy the Premises after the expiration of the Term of this Lease, such holding over shall be considered a tenancy at sufferance, and not for any other term whatsoever, which may be terminated by the Landlord at the will of the Landlord by giving Tenant written notice thereof, and at any time thereafter the Landlord may re-enter and take possession of the Premises, by force or otherwise. Rent during any such holding over shall be charged and paid by Tenant at the rate of 150% of the monthly rent reserved herein as the monthly rental due for that month immediately preceding the holding over.

 

(e)                                  Definition of Lease Year: A “lease year,” as herein referred to, shall consist of that full twelve (12) month period commencing on the first day of the first full month during which this Lease is in full force and effect and of each full twelve (12) month period thereafter. If the Commencement Date of this Lease, as provided aforesaid, is a day not the first day of the month, the first lease year shall consist of the remainder of that first month and the first full twelve (12) months thereafter.

 

1


 

3.                                      RENT.

 

(a)                                 During the term of this Lease, Tenant shall pay Landlord the Annual Minimum Rent in equal monthly installments. To the extent that the actual rentable floor area of the Premises is different from the area shown on the Summary, as certified by Landlord’s architect, the Annual Minimum Rent shall be adjusted accordingly.

 

(b)                                 All rent shall be payable in advance, without demand, on the first day of each calendar month during the term of this Lease, except the first monthly installment shall be paid upon the signing of this Lease. The first and last monthly payments shall be prorated on a per diem basis for any period less than a full calendar month.

 

(c)                                  All rent and additional rent shall be payable without any deduction, offset or counterclaim. All rent and additional rent due hereunder shall be payable in immediately available funds at Landlord’s address set forth in the Summary or at such other place as may be designated by Landlord.

 

(d)                                 Tenant shall also pay as rent any sums which may become due by reason of the failure of Tenant to comply with any covenants of this Lease and any damages, costs, expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees which Landlord may incur by reason of any failure on Tenant’s part to comply with any covenants of this Lease.

 

(e)                                  Tenant shall pay a late charge at the rate of five percent (5%) on each dollar of rent, or any other sum collectible as rent under this Lease, which is not paid within ten (10) days after the same is due.

 

(f)                                   This Lease shall be deemed and construed to be a “net-net-net” lease, so that the Annual Minimum Rent provided for herein shall be an absolute net return to Landlord throughout the term of this Lease, free of any expense, charge or other deduction whatsoever, with respect to the Premises and/or the ownership, leasing, operation, maintenance, repair, rebuilding, use or occupation thereof, or of any portion thereof, or with respect to any interest of Landlord therein, except as may be expressly provided for otherwise herein.

(a)                                 In addition to the payment of Annual Minimum Rent as provided herein, Tenant shall pay as additional rent hereunder its proportionate share (as described in Paragraph 4(c)) of all Expenses (as hereinafter defined) incurred during each calendar year of the term of this Lease, as provided herein.

All items on the budget shall be included as Expenses, but other Expenses may be incurred from time to time.

 

(b)                                 For purposes hereof, “Expenses” shall not include:

 

(i)                                     Costs for which Landlord is reimbursed or indemnified (either by an insurer, condemnor, tenant, warrantor or otherwise) or, in the event Landlord fails to properly insure the Building, then Expenses shall not include expenses for which Landlord would have been reimbursed if Landlord had adequately insured the Building.

 

(ii)                                  Expenses incurred in leasing or procuring tenants, including lease commissions, advertising expenses, management and leasing offices, lease negotiation and review, expenses and renovating space for tenants, and legal expenses incurred in enforcing the terms of any tenant leases.

(vi)                              Depreciation and costs incurred by Landlord for alterations that are considered capital improvements and replacements under generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied, except that the annual amortization of these costs shall be included in the following two instances:

 

3


 

(A)                               The annual amortization over its useful life (not to be less than ten (10) years) with a reasonable salvage value on a straight line basis of the cost of any improvement made by Landlord and required by any changes in applicable laws, rules, or regulations of any governmental authority enacted after the Building was fully assessed as a completed and occupied unit and the Lease was signed.

 

(B)                               The annual amortization over its useful life (not to be less than ten (10) years) with a reasonable salvage value on a straight line basis of the cost of any equipment or capital improvements made by Landlord after the Building was fully assessed as a completed and occupied unit and the Lease was signed, as a labor-saving measure or to accomplish other savings in operating, repairing, managing, or maintaining of the Building or Land, but only to the extent of the savings realized.

 

(vii)                           Salaries other than salary for a building manager and/or maintenance personnel or salary reimbursement to the Landlord equal to $0.35 per rentable square foot of floor area annually.

 

(viii)                        Landlord’s personal property and Landlord’s own occupancy costs, if any, in the Building.

 

(c)                                  The portion of Expenses which are applicable to the Premises (the “Premises Expenses”) shall be determined by multiplying the Expenses by a fraction, the numerator of which is the rentable floor area of the Premises as shown on the Summary and the denominator of which is the aggregate number of rentable floor area in the Building as shown on the Summary. In addition, Tenant shall have responsibility for the entire amount of Expenses relating directly to the cost of operating the Premises, which does not include any other portion of the Building Common Area, such as janitorial services or the repair, maintenance, or Tenant required modification of the heating, ventilating or air-conditioning (“HVAC”) system relating directly to the Premises. Tenant shall be responsible for its proportionate share of the entire amount of janitorial services and maintenance costs relating directly to the Building Common Area, on an occupied area basis.

 

(d)                                 Tenant agrees to pay Landlord as additional rent hereunder all Premises Expenses incurred during the term of this Lease, including any and all increases in the Premises Expenses.

 

(e)                                  Tenant shall pay Landlord monthly, in advance, on the first day of each calendar month during the term of this Lease, and pro rata for the fraction of any month, the sum estimated by Landlord to be one-twelfth 1/12th) of Tenant’s share of all Premises Expenses. If at any time and from time to time it is determined by Landlord that Tenant’s estimated payments will be insufficient to pay Tenant’s share of such Premises Expenses, the Landlord shall have the right to adjust the amount of Tenant’s estimated payments upon thirty (30) days prior written notice, and Tenant agrees to thereafter pay the adjusted estimated payment on a monthly basis.

 

(f)                                   Within one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of each calendar year, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant (i) a written itemization of Expenses for the prior Lease year and (ii) an estimate of the then current Lease year’s Expenses and Tenant’s share of the Premises Expenses. An

adjustment shall be made between the aggregate total of Tenant’s share of estimated Premises Expenses actually paid by Tenant during the prior Lease year, and Tenant’s share of Premises Expenses actually incurred during the prior Lease year, so that Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for any excess paid by Tenant, and Tenant shall pay any deficiency to Landlord within ten (10) days of demand. If Tenant disagrees with the accuracy of the Expenses as set forth in Landlord’s itemization statement, Tenant shall give written notice to Landlord to that effect, but shall nevertheless make payment in accordance with the terms of this Paragraph.

 

(g)                                  Landlord shall permit Tenant to inspect its records with respect to the Expenses at a mutually convenient time and place. Any information obtained by Tenant pursuant to the provisions of this Paragraph shall be treated as confidential, except in any litigation between the parties.

 

(h)                                 If due to a change in the laws presently governing taxation, any franchise tax or tax on income, profit, rentals or occupancies from or of the Premises shall be levied or imposed against the Landlord (other than business privilege tax, which is considered an Expense) in lieu of any tax or assessment that would otherwise constitute a real estate tax, such franchise, income, profit tax or tax on rentals shall be deemed to be a real estate tax and included as part of the Expenses.

(d)                                      Peaceably deliver up and surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord at the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease, in the same condition in which Tenant has agreed to keep the Premises during the term of this Lease, and promptly deliver to Landlord at its office all keys for the Premises.

 

(e)                                       Give to Landlord prompt written notice of any accident, fire or damage occurring on or to the Premises within twenty-four (24) hours of occurrence thereof

 

(f)                                        Give to Landlord a copy of any written notice concerning the Premises within twenty-four (24) hours of Tenant’s receipt thereof

(h)                                      Promptly upon Landlord’s request, deliver to Landlord’s lender copies of Tenant’s annual financial statements for the past two (2) years.

7


 

(a)                                 Place or allow to be placed any sign, projection or device upon the Premises or on the inside or outside of the Building contrary to the provisions of this Lease.

 

(b)                                 Make any alterations, improvements or additions to the Premises. All alterations, improvements, additions or fixtures, whether installed before or after the execution of this Lease, shall remain upon the Premises at the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease and become the property of Landlord, unless Landlord, prior to the termination of this Lease, shall have given written notice to Tenant to remove the same, in which event Tenant shall remove such alterations, improvements and additions or fixtures, and restore the Premises to the same good order and condition in which they were upon initial occupancy.

 

(c)                                  Do or suffer to be done any act objectionable to any insurance company whereby the insurance or any other insurance now in force or hereafter placed on the Premises or the Building shall become void or suspended, or whereby the same shall be rated as a more hazardous risk than at the date of the signing of this Lease. In case of a breach of this covenant (in addition to all other remedies herein given to Landlord) Tenant agrees to pay Landlord as additional rent any and all increases of premiums on insurance reasonably carried by Landlord on the Premises or the Building caused in any way by the use or occupancy of the Premises by the Tenant.

 

14.                               NO MECHANICS’ LIENS.

 

(a)                                 Subsequent to the Commencement Date, any construction work performed by or at the direction of Tenant within the Premises shall be performed in a good and workmanlike manner, and in accordance with the requirements of all applicable laws. Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall apply for and provide with reasonable diligence all necessary permits and licenses required for any such construction work. Prior to the commencement of any work or delivery of any materials to the Premises, Building or Land, Tenant shall cause each contractor to sign a Waiver of Right to File Mechanics’ Liens and Mechanics’ Lien Claims, which shall be filed in the Office of the Prothonotary in the Court of Common Pleas of Berks County, Pennsylvania. Tenant shall keep the Premises, Building and Land free from any and all liens arising out of any work performed, materials furnished or obligations incurred by or for Tenant, and agrees to bond against or discharge any mechanic’s or materialmen’s lien within ten (10) days after the filing or recording of any such lien. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any and all costs and expenses which may be incurred by Landlord by reason of the filing of any such liens and/or the removal of same, such reimbursement to be made within ten (10) days after Landlord has given Tenant a statement setting forth the amount of such costs and expenses. The failure of Tenant to pay any such amount to Landlord within such 10-day period shall carry with it the same consequences as failure to pay any installment of rent hereunder.

 

(b)                                 Prior to the commencement of any work hereunder, Tenant shall cause each of its contractors to indemnify Landlord and hold it harmless from and against all personal injury and property damage liability incurred during the course of its work and to provide a builder’s “all-risk” insurance policy, which policy will be in force during the entire term of the work being performed on the Premises. The insurance shall be in an amount acceptable to the Landlord and the Tenant, and shall name the Tenant, the Landlord and the Landlord’s lender, as their respective interests may appear, as additional insureds. The insurance coverage shall provide for at least thirty (30) days’ notice of cancellation, non-renewal or change. A certificate of insurance satisfactory to the Tenant, Landlord and Landlord’s lender, shall be submitted to the Landlord and the Landlord’s lender prior to the

 

8


 

commencement of any work in the Premises.

 

(c)                                  Within thirty (30) days after completion of any construction in the Premises, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a complete set of “as built” plans of such work, including without limitation, architectural, mechanical, plumbing and electrical plans, certified to Landlord by a duly licensed Pennsylvania engineer.

 

15.                               LANDLORD’S RIGHT TO ENTER. Tenant shall permit Landlord, Landlord’s agents, servants, employees, and prospective buyers or any other persons authorized by Landlord, to inspect the Premises at any time, and to enter the Premises for the purposes of cleaning and, if Landlord shall so elect, for making reasonable alterations, improvements or repairs to the Building, or for any reasonable purpose in connection with the operation and maintenance of the Building, and during the last one (1) year of the term of this Lease, for the purpose of exhibiting the same for sale or lease. Landlord or its agents shall have the right (but shall not be obligated) to enter the Premises in any emergency at any time without prior notice to Tenant, but Landlord shall notify Tenant by telephone of such entry either during or immediately following such emergency.

 

16.                               RELEASE OF LANDLORD.

 

(a)                                      Unless caused by the negligence of Landlord, or unless Landlord fails to perform its duties under this lease, Tenant shall be responsible for and hereby relieves Landlord from any and all liability by reason of any injury, loss, or damage to any person or property in the Premises, whether the same be due to fire, breakage, leakage, water flow, gas, use, misuse, or defects therein, or condition anywhere in the Premises, failure of water supply or light or power or electricity, wind, lightning, storm, or any other cause whatsoever, whether the loss, injury or damage be to the person or property of Tenant or any other persons.

 

(b)                                      Tenant acknowledges that Tenant has inspected the Premises and that the Premises are being leased “AS IS” as a result of such inspection and not as a result of any representations made by Landlord. Landlord makes no representation or warranty to Tenant, express or implied, that the Premises are free from hazardous or toxic substances, materials or wastes which are or become regulated by any federal, state or local governmental authority or that the Premises are in compliance with any federal, state or local environmental laws or regulations. Tenant acknowledges that the Premises are in a reasonable and acceptable condition of habitability for their intended use, and the agreed rental payments are fair and reasonable.

 

OR FOR NEW CONSTRUCTION

 

Landlord makes no warranty to Tenant, express or implied, that the Premises are free from hazardous or toxic substances, materials or wastes which are or become regulated by any federal, state or local governmental authority or that the Premises are in compliance with any federal, state or local environmental laws or regulations. However, to the best of its knowledge, Landlord represents that the building and/or premises are free of hazardous substances. Upon execution of a Commencement Agreement, Tenant will acknowledge that the Premises are in a reasonable and acceptable condition of habitability for their intended use, and the agreed rental payments are fair and reasonable.

(c)                                  Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any loss to Tenant or injury to its property or to the property of any other person by reason of the construction of the Building and other improvements located upon the Premises, the materials used in said construction, the design thereof, the condition thereof, any defects therein, or any alterations, additions, improvements, changes or replacements thereto and thereof

 

(d)                                 Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any damages, compensation, or claim by reason of the inconvenience or annoyance arising from the necessity of repairing any portion of the Premises or the Building or improvements erected thereon, interruption in the use or occupancy thereof, or the termination of this Lease by reason of the partial or total destruction of the Premises or the Building and improvements erected thereon.

 

(e)                                  Without limiting the effect of the release stated in Paragraphs 16(a) through (d) above, Landlord shall not be deemed in breach of this Lease for any reason whatsoever unless (i) Tenant shall have delivered to Landlord written notice setting forth the specific details of all facts, events or occurrences upon which Tenant relies in asserting such breach, and (ii) Landlord shall have failed to cure the alleged breach within thirty (30) days of receipt of such written notice, it being agreed that any breach which is of a type that reasonably requires longer than thirty (30) days to cure shall be deemed cured within such 30-day period if Landlord commences to cure such breach within such 30-day period and diligently proceeds to complete the cure of such breach thereafter.

 

17.                               ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING.

 

(a)                                 Except as otherwise provided in the immediately following sentence, Tenant shall not assign, mortgage or pledge this Lease, or sublet the Premises or any part thereof, or permit any other person to occupy the Premises or any part thereof, without the prior written consent of Landlord. Such prior consent shall not be required if Tenant makes an assignment or sublease to (i) any corporation or other legal entity which owns directly or indirectly all or substantially all of the stock of Tenant, (ii) any corporation or other legal entity of which more than one-half the stock is owned by Tenant, or (iii) any corporation into which Tenant may be converted or with which Tenant may be merged, provided that prior to taking possession of any part of the Premises, such corporation or other legal entity shall sign an assumption agreement in form satisfactory to Landlord, whereby such corporation or other legal entity agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Lease.

 

(b)                                 Landlord shall not withhold its consent to any assignment or subletting to any corporation or other legal entity having financial strength the same as or greater than the present financial strength of Tenant.

 

(c)                                  Any assignment or subletting, even with the consent of Landlord, shall not release Tenant from liability for payment of rent or any other charges hereunder or from any of the other obligations under this Lease, and any additional consideration resulting from such assignment or subletting in excess of the rent specified herein shall be additional rent hereunder, due and payable to Landlord. The acceptance of rent from any other person shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any of the provisions of this Lease or to be a consent to any assignment or subletting. Upon any assignment of this Lease or subletting of the Premises, a change in any respect of the use of the Premises from the use actually employed by the original Tenant shall require the prior written consent of Landlord.

 

10


 

18.                               ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE. Tenant shall not cause or permit any hazardous substance, material or waste (as defined in any applicable environmental law, rule or regulation) to be brought upon or used in or about the Premises. Tenant shall cause the Premises to be used at all times in compliance with all applicable environmental laws, rules and regulations. Any failure of Tenant to comply with the covenants contained in this Paragraph shall be covered by the indemnification provisions of Paragraph 19 herein and shall be subject to all other rights and remedies available to Landlord. In no event shall Landlord be responsible for any damage resulting from any contamination to the Premises or otherwise, unless caused by Landlord.

 

19.                               INDEMNIFICATION. Tenant agrees to indemnify Landlord against loss and save Landlord harmless from and against (a) any breach or default in the performance of any covenant or agreement to be performed by Tenant under the terms of this Lease, (b) any and all claims, damages, and liabilities arising from anything done in or about the Premises during the term of this Lease by Tenant or any of its agents, contractors, servants, employees, invitees or licensees, (c) any act or negligence of Tenant or any of its agents, contractors, servants, employees, invitees or licensees, including any accident, injury or damage whatsoever caused to any person, in or about the Premises, and (d) all costs, reasonable counsel fees, expenses and liabilities incurred in connection with any such claim for which indemnification has been provided under this Paragraph. In case any action or proceeding shall be brought against Landlord by reason of any such claim, Tenant, upon notice from Landlord, shall reimburse Landlord for its counsel fees incurred in defending such action or proceeding. Tenant shall, within ten (10) days following notice to it of any claim of a third party relating to Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises or to the performance or non-performance by Tenant of its obligations under this Lease, give written notice to the Landlord of such claim. The provisions of this Paragraph shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease.

 

20.                               LIABILITY INSURANCE.

 

(a)                                 Tenant, at its own cost and expense, shall obtain during the term of this Lease, and any renewals or extensions thereof, commercial general liability insurance in companies acceptable to Landlord, naming Landlord and Tenant as the insureds, in an amount not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00), and providing for at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Landlord of cancellation, nonrenewal, or modification.

 

(b)                                 Upon the signing of this Lease, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a copy of the policy evidencing such insurance. At least thirty (30) days before the expiration of such policy and any renewal policies, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a copy of the renewal policy.

 

11


 

21.                               FIRE OR OTHER CASUALTY.

 

(a)                                 If during the term of this Lease or any renewal or extension thereof, the Premises or the Building is totally destroyed or is so damaged by fire or other casualty not occurring through the fault or negligence of Tenant or those employed by or acting for Tenant to the extent that the same cannot be repaired or restored within one hundred eighty (180) days from the date of the happening of such damage, or if such damage or casualty is not included in the risks covered by Landlord’s fire insurance, then Landlord shall have the option to terminate this Lease upon written notice to Tenant, whereupon this Lease shall absolutely cease and terminate and the rent shall abate for the balance of the term. In such case, Tenant shall pay the rent apportioned to the date of damage and Landlord may enter upon and repossess the Premises without further notice.

 

(b)                                 If Landlord chooses to restore the Premises, Landlord shall repair whatever portion of the Premises that may have been damaged by fire or other casualty insured as aforesaid, and the rent shall be apportioned during the time Landlord is in possession, taking into account the proportion of the Premises rendered untenantable and the duration of Landlord’s possession.

 

(c)                                  If said damage by fire or other casualty was caused by the action or negligence of Tenant or its agents, employees or invitees, Tenant shall not be entitled to any abatement or apportionment of the rent.

 

(d)                                 Tenant, at its own cost and expense, shall obtain during the term of this Lease, and any renewals or extensions thereof, content insurance for the full replacement value of its personalty used in Tenant’s daily operations of the Permitted Use.

 

22.                               WAIVER OF SUBROGATION. Landlord and Tenant shall each endeavor to procure an appropriate clause in, or endorsement on, any fire and extended coverage insurance covering the Premises and Building and personal property, fixtures, and equipment located thereon or therein, pursuant to which the insurance companies waive subrogation or consent to a waiver of right of recovery. Each party hereto hereby agrees that it will not make any claim against or seek to recover from the other for any loss or damage to its property or the property of others resulting from fire or other hazards covered by such fire and extended coverage insurance except as expressly provided in this Lease; provided, however, that the release, discharge, exoneration, and covenant not to sue herein contained shall be limited by the terms and provisions of the waiver of subrogation clauses and/or endorsements consenting to a waiver of right of recovery and shall be coextensive therewith.

 

23.                               NO IMPLIED EVICTION. Notwithstanding any inference to the contrary herein contained, it is understood that the exercise by Landlord of any of its rights hereunder, including (without limitation) cessation of services as described in Paragraph 27(c)(ii), shall never be deemed an eviction (constructive or otherwise) of Tenant, or a disturbance of its use of the Premises, and shall in no event render Landlord liable to Tenant or any other person, so long as such exercise of rights is in accordance with the foregoing terms and conditions.

 

24.                               CONDEMNATION. If the whole of the Premises shall be acquired or condemned by eminent domain, then the term of this Lease shall cease and terminate as of the date on which possession of the Premises is required to be surrendered to the condemning authority. All rent

 

12


 

shall be paid up to the date of termination. A partial condemnation shall not be cause for termination of this Lease. Tenant hereby expressly waives any right or claim to any part of any condemnation award or damages and hereby assigns to Landlord any such right or claim to which Tenant might become entitled.

 

25.                               LANDLORD’S RIGHT TO PAY TENANT EXPENSES. If Tenant shall at any time fail to pay any utility or other charges or to take out, pay for, maintain or deliver any of the insurance policies provided for herein, or shall fail to make any other payment or perform any other act which Tenant is obligated to make or perform under this Lease, then without waiving, or releasing Tenant from, any obligations of Tenant contained in this Lease, Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, pay any such charge, effect any such insurance coverage and pay premiums therefor, and may make any other payment or perform any other act which Tenant is obligated to perform under this Lease, in such manner and to such extent as shall be necessary. In exercising any such rights, Landlord may pay any necessary and incidental costs and expenses, employ counsel and incur and pay reasonable attorneys’ fees. All sums so paid by Landlord and all necessary and incidental costs and expenses in connection with the performance of any such act by Landlord, together with interest thereon at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum from the date of the making of such expenditure by Landlord, shall be deemed additional rent hereunder and, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Lease, shall be payable to Landlord after ten (10) days’ written notice thereof. Tenant covenants to pay any such sum or sums with interest as aforesaid and Landlord shall have (in addition to any other right or remedy of the Landlord) the same rights and remedies in the event of nonpayment thereof by Tenant as in the case of default by Tenant in the payment of rent.

 

26.                               EVENTS OF DEFAULT. The occurrence of each of the following events shall be an “Event of Default” hereunder:

 

(a)                                 Tenant does not pay in full when due any installment of rent, additional rent or any other charges, expenses or costs herein agreed to be paid by Tenant for a period of five (5) days after receipt of notice that same has not been paid when due; provided that in the event Tenant shall have received three (3) such written notices within any period of twelve (12) consecutive months, then during the remainder of the twelve (12) consecutive month period after Tenant shall have received its first written notice from Landlord, Tenant shall thereafter be in default hereunder whenever Tenant shall fail to pay any sum owing under this Lease when due, without the necessity of sending any written notice of nonpayment;

 

(b)                                 Tenant violates or fails to perform or comply with any nonmonetary term, covenant, condition, or agreement herein contained and fails to cure such default within thirty (30) days of notice thereof from Landlord, provided, however, if such default cannot be cured with reasonable diligence within such thirty (30) day period, the time for cure of same shall be deemed extended for such additional time as is reasonably necessary to cure same with due diligence for an additional period not to exceed thirty (30) days;

 

(c)                                  Tenant vacates the Premises;

 

(d)                                 Tenant shall file a voluntary petition in bankruptcy or shall be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent or shall file any petition or answer seeking any reorganization, arrangement, recapitalization, readjustment, liquidation or dissolution or similar relief under any present or future bankruptcy laws of the United States or any other country or political subdivision thereof, or shall seek

 

13


 

or consent to or acquiesce in the appointment of any trustee, receiver, or liquidator of all or any substantial part of Tenant’s properties, or shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or shall admit in writing Tenant’s inability to pay Tenant’s debts generally as they become due; or

 

(e)                                  If an involuntary petition in bankruptcy shall be filed against Tenant seeking any reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or similar relief under any present or future bankruptcy laws of the United States or any other state or political subdivision thereof, and if within sixty (60) days after the commencement of any such proceeding against Tenant, such proceedings shall not have been dismissed, or if, within sixty (60) days after the appointment, without the consent or acquiescence of Tenant, or any trustee, receiver or liquidator of the Tenant or of all or any substantial part of Tenant’s property, such appointment shall not have been vacated or stayed on appeal or otherwise, or if, within sixty (60) days after the expiration of any such stay, such appointment shall not have been vacated.

 

27.                               LANDLORD’S REMEDIES.

 

(a)                                 Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Landlord may, at its option and without any further notice to Tenant, terminate this Lease, whereupon the estate hereby vested in Tenant shall cease and any and all other right, title and interest of Tenant hereunder shall likewise cease without notice or lapse of time, as fully and with like effect as if the entire term of this Lease had elapsed, but Tenant shall continue to be liable to Landlord as hereinafter provided.

 

(b)                                 Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, or at any time thereafter, Landlord, in addition to and without prejudice to any other rights and remedies Landlord shall have at low or in equity, shall have the right, without terminating this Lease, to change the locks on the doors to the Premises and exclude Tenant therefrom until all of such defaults shall have been completely cured.

 

(c)                                  Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, or at any time thereafter, Landlord, in addition to and without prejudice to any other rights and remedies Landlord shall have at law or in equity, shall have the right to re-enter the Premises, either by force or otherwise, and recover possession thereof and dispossess any or all occupants of the Premises in the manner prescribed by the statute relating to summary proceedings, or similar statutes, but Tenant in such case shall remain liable to Landlord as hereinafter provided.

 

(d)                                 In case of any Event of Default, re-entry, expiration and/or dispossession by summary proceedings, whether or not this Lease shall have been terminated as aforesaid:

 

(i)             All delinquent rent, additional rent and all other sums required to be paid by Tenant hereunder shall become payable thereupon and shall be paid up to the time of such re-entry, expiration and/or dispossession, and all accelerated payments due under subparagraphs 10(a) and (b) hereof shall become immediately due and payable;

 

(ii)          Landlord shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to terminate immediately and without any notice to Tenant, all services which are to be supplied by Landlord pursuant to the terms of this Lease, including without limitation, all janitor service and the maintenance and repair responsibilities described in Paragraph 7 hereof;

 

14


 

(iii)                 Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to relet the Premises or any part or parts thereof for the account of Tenant, either in the name of Landlord or otherwise, for a term or terms which may, at Landlord’s option, be less than or exceed the period which would otherwise have constituted the balance of the term of this Lease and on such conditions (which may include concessions or free rent) as Landlord, in its reasonable discretion, may determine and may collect and receive the rents therefor; Landlord shall in no way be responsible or liable for any failure to relet the Premises or any part thereof, or for any failure to collect any rent due upon any such reletting; and

 

(iv)                Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any expenses that Landlord may incur in connection with recovering possession of the Premises and any reletting thereof, such as court costs, attorneys’ fees, brokerage fees, and the costs of advertising and the costs of any alterations, repairs, replacements and/or decorations in or to the Premises as Landlord, in Landlord’s sole judgment, considers advisable and necessary for the purpose of such reletting of the Premises; and the making of such alterations, repairs, replacements and/or decorations shall not operate or be construed to release Tenant from liability hereunder as aforesaid.

 

(e)                                  If this Lease is terminated by Landlord pursuant to Paragraph 27(a) hereof, Tenant nevertheless shall remain liable for all rent and damages which may be due or sustained prior to such termination, together with additional damages (the “Liquidated Damages”) which, at Landlord’s option, shall be either:

 

(i)             an amount equal to (A) the rent and all other sums required to be paid by Tenant hereunder during the period which would otherwise have constituted the balance of the term of this Lease, and all damages, costs, fees and expenses incurred by Landlord as a result of such Event of Default, including without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in pursuit of its remedies hereunder, less (B) the rent, if any, received by Landlord, pursuant to any reletting of the Premises during the period which would otherwise have constituted the balance of the term of this Lease; such amount calculated pursuant to this Paragraph 27(d)(i) shall be payable in monthly installments, in advance, on the first day of each calendar month following the occurrence of such Event of Default and continuing during the period which would otherwise have constituted the balance of the term of this Lease; or

 

(ii)          an amount equal to the Annual Minimum Rent, Premises Expenses, and all other additional rent which was due and payable for the two (2) year period immediately preceeding Tenant’s default.

 

(f)                                   In the event Tenant commits a default, or suffers a default to exist, within ten (10) days after written demand, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for Landlord’s attorneys’ fees incurred by Landlord in the enforcement of this Lease, regardless whether legal proceedings are or are not instituted, which fees shall include any actions taken in connection with any bankruptcy proceeding filed by or against Tenant.

 

(b)                                 Tenant shall pay Landlord interest at twelve percent (12%) per annum on all failures to pay timely the rent, additional rent or any other sums required to be paid by Tenant hereunder from the date such payment is due until the date such payment is made to Landlord. Any judgment obtained by the Landlord as a result of the exercise of its rights and remedies under this Lease

 

15


 

shall bear interest at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum from the date of entry of such judgment through the date such judgment is paid in full.

 

(g)                                Upon any termination of this Lease, whether by lapse of time, by the exercise of any option by Landlord to terminate the same, or in any other manner whatsoever, or upon any termination of Tenant’s right to possession without termination of this Lease, Tenant shall immediately surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord and immediately vacate the same, and remove all effects therefrom, except such as may not be removed under other provisions of this Lease. If Tenant fails to surrender and vacate as aforesaid, Landlord may forthwith re-enter the Premises, with or without process of law, and repossess itself thereof as in its former estate and expel and remove Tenant and any other persons and property therefrom, using such force as may be necessary, without being deemed guilty of trespass, eviction, conversion or forcible entry and without thereby waiving Landlord’s rights to rent or any other rights given Landlord under this Lease or at law or in equity. If Tenant shall not remove all effects from the Premises as hereinabove provided, Landlord may, at its option, remove any or all of said effects in any manner it shall choose and either dispose of the same at Landlord’s sole discretion, or store the same without liability for loss thereof; and Tenant shall pay Landlord, on demand, any and all expenses incurred in such removal and also storage on said effects, if applicable, for any length of time during which the same shall be in Landlord’s possession or in storage.

The right to enforce all of the provisions of this Lease may be exercised by any assignee of the Landlord’s right, title and interest in this Lease in its, his, her or their own name, and Tenant hereby expressly waives the requirements of any and all laws regulating the manner and/or form in which such assignments shall be executed and witnessed.

 

31.                         REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. All remedies given to Landlord herein and all rights and remedies given to Landlord by law and equity shall be cumulative and concurrent. No termination of this Lease, or taking or recovering of possession of the Premises, or entry of any judgment either for possession or for any money claimed to be due Landlord, shall deprive Landlord of any other action against Tenant for possession, or for any money due Landlord hereunder, or for damages hereunder. The exercise of or failure to exercise any remedy shall not bar or delay the exercise of any other remedy.

 

32.                         TENANT’S WAIVERS.

 

(a)                               If proceedings shall be commenced by Landlord to recover possession of the Premises, either at the end of the term hereof or by reason of an Event of Default or otherwise, Tenant expressly waives all rights to notice in excess of five (5) days required by any Act of Assembly, including the Act of April 6, 1951, P.L. 69, Art. V, Sec. 501, as amended, and agrees that in either or any such case five (5) days’ notice shall be sufficient. Without limitation of or by the foregoing, Tenant hereby waives any and all demands, notices of intention, and notice of action or proceedings which may be required by law to be given or taken prior to any entry or re-entry by summary proceedings, ejectment or otherwise, by Landlord, except as hereinbefore expressly provided with respect to five (5) days’ notice.

 

(b)                               Any notice to quit required by law previous to proceedings to recover possession of the Premises or any notice of demand for rent on the day when such is due and the benefit of all laws granting stay of execution, appeal, inquisition and exemption are hereby waived by Tenant; provided, however, that nothing in this paragraph shall be construed as a waiver of any notice specifically mentioned or required by any other part of this Lease.

 

(c)                                In the event of a termination of this Lease prior to the date of expiration herein originally fixed, Tenant hereby waives all right to recover or regain possession of the Premises, to save forfeiture by payment of rent due or by other performance of the conditions, terms or provisions hereof, and, without limitation of or by the foregoing, Tenant waives all right to reinstate or redeem this Lease notwithstanding any provisions of any statute, law or decision now or hereafter in force or effect and Tenant waives all right to any second or further trial in summary proceedings, ejectment or in any other action provided by any statute or decision now or hereafter in force or effect.

 

33.                         ATTORNMENT. In the event of the sale or assignment of Landlord’s interest in the Premises or in the event of a foreclosure under any mortgage made by Landlord covering the Premises, Tenant shall attorn to the purchaser and recognize such purchaser as Landlord under this Lease.

 

34.                         SUBORDINATION. At the option of Landlord or Landlord’s lender, or both of

 

18


 

them, this Lease and the Tenant’s interest hereunder shall be subject and subordinate at all times to any mortgage or mortgages, deed or deeds of trust, or such other security instrument or instruments, including all renewals, extensions, consolidations, assignments and refinances of the same, as well as all advances made upon the security thereof, which now or hereafter become liens upon the Landlord’s fee and/or leasehold interest in the Premises, and/or any and all of the buildings now or hereafter erected or to be erected and/or any and all of the Premises, provided, however, that in each such case, the holder of such other security, the trustee of such deed of trust or holder of such other security instrument shall agree that this Lease shall not be divested or in any way affected by foreclosure or other default proceedings under said mortgage, deed of trust, or other instrument or other obligations secured thereby, so long as Tenant shall not be in default under the terms of this Lease; and shall agree that this Lease shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any such default proceedings.

 

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any holder of any mortgage may at any time subordinate its mortgage to this Lease, by notice in writing to Tenant, and thereupon this Lease shall be deemed prior to such mortgage without regard to their respective dates of execution and delivery and in that even such mortgage shall have the same rights with respect to this Lease as though this Lease had been executed and delivered prior to the execution and delivery of the mortgage.

 

35.                               EXECUTION OF DOCUMENTS. The above subordination shall be self-executing, but Tenant agrees upon demand to execute such other document or documents as may be required by a mortgagee, trustee under any deed of trust, or holder of a similar security interest, or any party to the types of documents enumerated herein for the purpose of subordinating this Lease in accordance with the foregoing. Upon the expiration of ten (10) days after a formal written notice, Tenant shall be deemed to have appointed Landlord and Landlord may execute and deliver the required documents for and on behalf of Tenant.

 

36.                               ESTOPPEL AGREEMENTS. Tenant shall execute an estoppel agreement in favor of any mortgagee or purchaser of Landlord’s interest herein, within ten (10) days after requested to do so by Landlord or any such mortgagee or purchaser. Such estoppel agreement shall be in the form requested by Landlord or such mortgagee or purchaser.

 

37.                               CONDOMINIUM CONVERSION. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord has informed Tenant that Landlord, at any time in Landlord’s sole discretion, may by recorded declaration, convert the fee ownership of the Building and the Land to a condominium in accordance with the provisions of the Pennsylvania Uniform Condominium Act (the “Act”). In such event, the common areas of the Building and the Land shall become Common Elements and/or Limited Common Elements, as defined in the Act and as designated by Landlord, and the Common Expenses pertaining thereto (as defined in the Act), as applicable, shall be included as part of the Premises Expenses. Tenant agrees upon demand to execute such document or documents as may be required by Landlord in connection with any such condominium conversion.

 

38.                               NOTICES. All notices required to be given by either party to the other shall be in writing. All such notices shall be deemed to have been given upon delivery in person, or upon depositing in the United States mail, by certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or by delivery by telefax, facsimile or telegraph, or by Federal Express or other nationally recognized overnight delivery service, addressed to the parties at the addresses shown in the summary pages at the front of this Lease or to such other address which either party may hereafter designate in writing by notice given in a like manner.

 

19


 

39.                               BINDING EFFECT. All rights and liabilities herein given to, or imposed upon the respective parties hereto, shall extend to and bind the several and respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and permitted assigns of said parties.

 

40.                               SURVIVAL OF VALID TERMS. If any provision of this Lease shall be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of the provisions of this Lease shall not be affected thereby, and each and every provision of this Lease shall be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

 

41.                               ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Lease and any exhibit, rider or addendum that may be attached hereto set forth all the promises, agreements, conditions and understandings between Landlord and Tenant relative to the Premises, and there are no promises, agreements, conditions or understandings, either oral or written, between them other than are herein set forth. Except as herein otherwise provided, no subsequent alteration, amendment, change or addition to this Lease shall be binding upon Landlord or Tenant unless reduced to writing and signed by them.

 

42.                               PROHIBITION AGAINST RECORDING. This Lease shall not be recorded and any attempted recording of this Lease shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder.

 

43.                               INTERPRETATION. As used in this Lease and when required by context, each number (singular or plural) shall include all numbers, and each gender shall include all genders. Time is and shall be of essence of each term and provision of this Lease. The term “person” as used herein means person, firm, association or corporation, as the case may be. If Tenant is more than one person, all agreements, conditions, obligations, covenants, warrants of attorney, waivers and releases made by Tenant shall be joint and several, and shall bind and affect all persons who are defined as “Tenant” herein.

 

44.                               LIABILITY OF LANDLORD. The term “Landlord” as used herein means the fee owner of the Premises from time to time. In the event of the voluntary or involuntary transfer of such ownership to a successor-in-interest of the Landlord, the Landlord shall be automatically discharged and relieved of and from all liability and obligations hereunder which shall thereafter accrue, and Tenant shall look solely to such successor-in-interest for the performance and obligations of the Landlord hereunder which shall thereafter accrue. The liability of Landlord and its successors-in-interest under or with respect to this Lease shall be strictly limited to and enforceable solely out of its or their interest in the Premises and shall not be enforceable out of any other assets.

 

45.                               CAPTIONS AND HEADINGS. The captions and headings of the paragraphs contained herein are for convenience of reference only and in no way define, limit, describe, modify or amplify the interpretation, construction or meaning of any provision of or the scope or intent of this Lease nor in any way affect this Lease. All Exhibits are an integral part of this Lease and are attached hereto.

 

46.                               NO BROKERAGE COMMISSION. Landlord and Tenant represent and warrant that no brokerage commission or similar compensation is due to any party by reason of this Lease. Each party hereby agrees to indemnify and hold the other party harmless from and against any and all claims, costs, damages, expenses, judgments or liability resulting from any claim for brokerage commissions or similar compensation made by any party in connection with this Lease.

 

20


 

47.                               QUIET ENJOYMENT. Upon Tenant’s compliance with the provisions of this Lease, including the payment of all rent hereunder, Tenant shall peaceably hold and enjoy the Premises during the term hereof without hinderance or interruption by Landlord or any person claiming under Landlord.

 

48.                               WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY. Each party to this Lease agrees that any suit, action, or proceeding, whether claim or counterclaim, brought or instituted by any party hereto or any successor or assign of any party hereto or with respect to this Lease or which in any way relates, directly or indirectly, to the Premises or any event, transaction, or occurrence arising out of or in any way in connection with the Premises, or the dealings of the parties with respect thereto, shall be tried only by a court and not by a jury. EACH PARTY HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING. TENANT ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THIS PARAGRAPH 48 IS A SPECIFIC AND MATERIAL ASPECT TO THIS LEASE BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND THAT LANDLORD WOULD NOT LEASE THE PREMISES TO THE TENANT IF THIS WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL SECTION WERE NOT A PART OF THIS LEASE.

 

49.                               OWNERS’ ASSOCIATION. This Lease and all terms and provisions hereof shall be under and subject, in all respects, to: (a) the Declaration of Covenants, Easements, Conditions and Restrictions for The Owner’s Association Of Wyomissing Professional Center, Inc., which is recorded in the Recorder of Deeds Office of Berks County, Pennsylvania, and (b) the Articles of Incorporation and the Bylaws of The Owners Association Of Wyomissing Professional Center, Inc., copies of which are available upon request.
