2.                                      Terms and Conditions. This Lease incorporates the Terms and Conditions, and all exhibits attached hereto, as if set forth in full in the body of this Lease. Capitalized terms used but not defined in the Terms and Conditions have the respective meanings given to them above.

 

3.                                      Early Occupancy.  Notwithstanding that the Term or Commencement Date may not have yet occurred, from and after the date on which the existing tenant of the Premises vacates and surrenders possession thereof (which date is anticipated to occur on or before July 6,

 

Rev. 2014

 



 

2015), Tenant, at Tenant’s own risk, expense and responsibility, shall have the right to access the Premises for the purpose of performing installing furniture, trade fixtures, cabling, equipment and similar items in the Premises (“Early Occupancy”) and the Commencement Date shall not be advanced in connection therewith, provided that Tenant acknowledges that all provisions of the Lease shall then be in full force and effect (except the obligation to pay Gross Rent or costs of electricity). In connection with such early access, Tenant shall follow the policies and safety directives of Landlord and Landlord’s contractor.

 

4.                                      Electricity Costs.  Commencing on the Commencement Date and continuing throughout the Term (and during any Early Occupancy), in addition to Gross Rent, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, all costs (without any markup) for electric for lights and plugs serving the Premises, which utilities are separately metered to the Premises based upon Tenant’s metered usage.

 

5.                                      Termination Option. Provided Tenant is the originally named Tenant (or a Permitted Transferee), Tenant is neither in default of this Lease (beyond applicable notice and cure periods) on the Termination Date (as defined below) nor has there previously been an Event of Default, and this Lease is in full force and effect, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease effective as of 11:59 p.m. on the Termination Date, in accordance with and subject to each of the following terms and conditions (“Termination Option”). The “Termination Date” shall mean any day after the 18th full calendar month of the Term, as designated by Tenant in its Termination Notice (as defined below). If Tenant desires to exercise the Termination Option, Tenant shall give to Landlord no less than 30 days prior written notice of Tenant’s exercise of the Termination Option (“Termination Notice”). The Termination Notice shall be irrevocable. Time is of the essence with respect to the dates and deadlines set forth herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time during the period on or after the date of the Termination Notice, up to and including the Termination Date, Tenant shall be in default of this Lease beyond applicable notice and cure periods, then Landlord may elect, but is not obligated, by written notice to Tenant to cancel and declare null and void Tenant’s exercise of the Termination Option, in which case this Lease shall continue in full force and effect for the full Term unaffected by Tenant’s exercise of the Termination Option. If Tenant timely and properly exercises the Termination Option in accordance with this paragraph and Landlord has not negated the effectiveness of Tenant’s exercise of the Termination Option pursuant to the preceding sentence, this Lease and the Term shall come to an end on the Termination Date with the same force and effect as if the Term were fixed to expire on such date, the Expiration Date shall be the Termination Date, and the terms and provisions of Section 14 shall apply.

 

6.              Confession of Judgment.

 

                                   (initial) AFTER AN EVENT OF DEFAULT OR THE EXPIRATION OF THE TERM, FOR THE PURPOSE OF OBTAINING POSSESSION OF THE PREMISES, TENANT HEREBY AUTHORIZES AND EMPOWERS THE PROTHONOTARY OR ANY ATTORNEY OF ANY COURT OF RECORD IN THE COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA OR ELSEWHERE, AS ATTORNEY FOR TENANT AND ALL PERSONS CLAIMING UNDER OR THROUGH TENANT, TO APPEAR FOR AND CONFESS JUDGMENT AGAINST TENANT FOR POSSESSION OF THE PREMISES, AND AGAINST ALL PERSONS CLAIMING UNDER OR THROUGH TENANT, IN FAVOR OF LANDLORD, FOR RECOVERY BY LANDLORD OF POSSESSION THEREOF, FOR WHICH THIS AGREEMENT OR A COPY HEREOF VERIFIED BY AFFIDAVIT, SHALL BE A SUFFICIENT WARRANT; AND THEREUPON A WRIT OF POSSESSION MAY IMMEDIATELY ISSUE FOR POSSESSION OF THE PREMISES, WITHOUT ANY PRIOR WRIT OR PROCEEDING WHATSOEVER AND WITHOUT ANY STAY OF EXECUTION. IF FOR ANY REASON AFTER SUCH ACTION HAS BEEN COMMENCED THE SAME SHALL BE TERMINATED AND THE POSSESSION OF THE PREMISES REMAINS IN OR IS RESTORED TO TENANT, LANDLORD SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT UPON ANY SUBSEQUENT EVENT OF DEFAULT TO CONFESS JUDGMENT IN ONE OR MORE FURTHER ACTIONS IN THE MANNER AND FORM SET FORTH ABOVE TO RECOVER POSSESSION OF SAID PREMISES FOR SUCH SUBSEQUENT EVENT OF DEFAULT. NO SUCH TERMINATION OF THIS LEASE, NOR TAKING, NOR RECOVERING POSSESSION OF THE PREMISES SHALL DEPRIVE LANDLORD OF ANY REMEDIES OR ACTION AGAINST TENANT FOR RENT OR FOR DAMAGES DUE OR TO BECOME DUE FOR THE BREACH OF ANY CONDITION OR COVENANT HEREIN CONTAINED, NOR SHALL THE BRINGING OF ANY SUCH ACTION FOR RENT, OR BREACH OF COVENANT OR CONDITION NOR THE RESORT TO ANY OTHER REMEDY HEREIN PROVIDED FOR THE RECOVERY OF RENT OR DAMAGES FOR SUCH BREACH BE CONSTRUED AS A WAIVER OF THE RIGHT TO INSIST UPON THE FORFEITURE AND TO OBTAIN POSSESSION IN THE MANNER HEREIN PROVIDED.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS TO LEASE

 

1.              Premises. Landlord leases to Tenant, and Tenant leases from Landlord, the Premises upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Lease. Except for the Tenant Improvements (if any), Tenant accepts the Premises in their “AS IS”, “WHERE IS” condition.

 

2.              Term. The term of this Lease (“Term”) commences on the Commencement Date and expires on the Expiration Date, unless earlier terminated by the terms of this Lease. The terms and conditions of this Lease are binding on the parties upon full execution and delivery of this Lease. By a Confirmation of Lease Term prepared on Landlord’s standard form therefor (the “COLT”), Landlord shall notify Tenant of the Commencement Date and all other matters stated therein. The COLT shall be conclusive and binding on Tenant as to all matters set forth therein (but shall in no event alter the terms of this Lease), unless within 30 days following delivery of the COLT to Tenant, Tenant contests any of the matters contained therein by notifying Landlord in writing of Tenant’s objections.

 

3.              Rent; Security Deposit; Late Fee.

 

(a)         Tenant must pay to Landlord during the Term, without notice, demand, setoff, deduction, or counterclaim (except as expressly set forth herein), the Gross Rent in the amounts set forth above. The Monthly Installment of Gross Rent is payable to Landlord in advance on or before the first day of each month of the Term from and after the Fixed Rent Start Date. All Additional Rent is payable to Landlord within 30 days after receipt of an invoice therefor, without setoff, deduction or counterclaim (except as expressly set forth herein). “Rent” means Gross Rent together with all other amounts due under this Lease. All Rent payments must include the Building number and the Lease number, which will be provided by Landlord. At Tenant’s election, Rent payments may be sent by electronic funds transfer as follows: (i) ACH debit of funds, provided Tenant shall first complete Landlord’s then-current forms authorizing Landlord to automatically debit Tenant’s bank account; or (ii) ACH credit of immediately available funds to an account designated by Landlord. “ACH” means Automated Clearing House network or similar system designated by Landlord.

 

(b)         Together with Tenant’s delivery of a signed copy of this Lease, Tenant must pay to Landlord the Security Deposit. No interest will be paid to Tenant on the Security Deposit, and Landlord may commingle the Security Deposit with other funds of Landlord. Landlord may use the whole or any part of the Security Deposit to cure an Event of Default. If a portion of the Security Deposit is used by Landlord, Tenant must pay to Landlord within 10 days after receipt of notice an amount sufficient to restore the Security Deposit to its original amount. Landlord will return the balance of the Security Deposit to Tenant within 1 month after the later of the Expiration Date, Tenant’s surrender of possession of the Premises to Landlord in the condition required under this Lease, and Tenant’s payment of all outstanding Rent.

 

(c)          If Landlord does not receive the full payment of any Rent when due, Tenant must pay to Landlord a late fee in the amount of 5% of such overdue amount. The foregoing late fee, however, shall not apply to the first late payment in any 12 month period, so long as Tenant cures the payment default within five (5) days following Landlord’s written notice.  If any Rent payment is returned for insufficient funds, Tenant must pay a fee of $30.00 per returned payment.

 

4.              Utilities; Services. Landlord will provide the following to the Premises (at all times during the Term, unless otherwise noted below): (i) HVAC service during standard business hours for the Building; (ii) electricity for lighting and standard office equipment; (iii) water, sewer, and, to the extent applicable to the Building, gas, oil, or steam service; (iv) cleaning services in accordance with the specifications set forth on Exhibit B; (v) replacement of Building-standard lights, ballasts, tubes, ceiling tiles, outlets and similar equipment; and (vi) garage elevator service and passenger elevator service to the Premises (together with freight elevator service). Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, must make arrangements with the applicable utility companies and public bodies to provide, in Tenant’s name, telephone, cable, and any other utility service not provided by Landlord. Tenant may not overload the utility capacity serving the Premises.  For purposes hereof, the standard business hours for the Building are 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday through Friday and 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Saturday, except New Year’s Day, President’s Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day (on the days such holidays are generally observed).  Upon request by Tenant, Landlord shall also provide HVAC service to the Premises outside of standard business hours, provided, however, that Tenant shall pay Landlord’s standard after-hours charge in connection therewith.  As of the date hereof, the after-hours HVAC charge is $99.00 per hour. Notwithstanding the provisions set forth in this Section 4 of this Lease, HVAC service to the Premises on Saturdays shall be provided only upon Tenant’s prior written request to Landlord.  If any utility service shall be interrupted for a period in excess of five (5) business days due to Landlord’s negligence and Tenant is prevented from making reasonable use of the Premises as a result thereof, then all Rent payable hereunder shall abate from the expiration of such five (5) business day period until such service is restored.

 

5.              Use; Parking; Signs. Tenant may use the Premises for general office use (non-medical) and for no other purpose (“Permitted Use”). Tenant may use no more than its pro rata share of the parking spaces in the general parking area for the Building, which pro rata share shall include the right to use 5 unreserved parking spaces on Level P-2 of the Building’s parking garage at a rate of $365, per space, per month (“Rate”), provided Tenant notifies Landlord of the number of spaces it wishes to use within 30 days of the Commencement Date. The Rate is subject to change (provided, however, that the Rate shall not exceed the standard rate charged by Landlord to Building occupants for such spaces). Tenant’s use of the Premises is subject to all applicable laws and to all reasonable requirements of the insurers of the Building. Landlord will provide Tenant with Building-standard identification signage on all Building lobby directories and at the main entrance to the Premises. Tenant may not place any signs at the Premises that are visible from outside of the Premises.

 

6.              Transfer. Tenant may not (nor its legal representative or successors-in-interest by operation of law or otherwise) assign, transfer, mortgage, or sublet the Premises (“Transfer”), without Landlord’s prior written consent, which consent may be withheld in Landlord’s sole discretion. Any Transfer without Landlord’s prior written consent constitutes an Event of Default and, at Landlord’s option, is void and/or terminates this Lease. A Transfer includes any assignment by operation of law, and any merger, consolidation, or asset sale involving Tenant, any direct or indirect transfer of control of Tenant, and any transfer of a majority of the ownership interests in Tenant.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have the right to assign its interest under this Lease or sublease all or any portion of the Premises to (a) any corporation, limited liability company, partnership or other person or entity that controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with Tenant, or (b) any successor to Tenant by purchase, merger, consolidation or reorganization (provided that such successor shall own all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant) (each, a “Permitted Transferee”).

 

7.              Maintenance.

 

(a)         Landlord must make all necessary repairs at its expense to: (i) the footings and foundations and the structural elements of the Building; (ii) the roof of the Building; (iii) the HVAC (excluding any supplemental HVAC serving the Premises), plumbing, elevators (if any), electric, fire protection and fire alert systems within the Building;

 

3



 

(iv) the Building exterior; and (v) the common areas. Any repairs to the Building made necessary by the negligent or willful act or omission of Tenant or any employee, agent, subtenant, contractor, or invitee of Tenant will be made at Tenant’s expense, subject to the waivers set forth in Section 9(b).

 

(b)         Except as otherwise set forth in Section 7(a) above, Tenant must maintain the Premises in good order and condition at its expense, including promptly making all necessary repairs and replacements to the Premises (including any supplemental HVAC serving the Premises). To the extent that the interior of the Premises is visible from the common areas, Landlord shall have the right to require Tenant to screen the interior from the common areas, such as by adding frosting to glass, as determined by Landlord. In the event of an emergency, such as a burst waterline or act of God, Landlord has the right to make repairs for which Tenant is responsible hereunder (at Tenant’s cost) without giving Tenant prior notice, but in such case Landlord will provide notice to Tenant as soon as practicable thereafter, and take commercially reasonable steps to minimize the costs incurred.

 

8.              Insurance.

 

(a)         Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, must maintain during the Term: (i) commercial general liability insurance, with combined single limits of $2,000,000 on account of bodily injury to or death of one or more persons as the result of any one accident or disaster and on account of damage to property, and (ii) a policy of “special form” property insurance on Tenant’s trade fixtures, equipment, and personal property (collectively, “Tenant’s Property”) for full replacement value and with coinsurance waived. Tenant will neither have, nor make, any claim against Landlord for any loss or damage to Tenant’s Property, regardless of the cause of the loss or damage, unless such loss or damage is due to Landlord’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.  Tenant must require its movers to deliver to Landlord a certificate of insurance naming Landlord as an additional insured. All liability insurance required hereunder must name Tenant as insured, and Landlord, Landlord’s property manager, and Brandywine Realty Trust as additional insureds, and, if requested in writing by Landlord, name as an additional insured any mortgagee or holder of any mortgage upon the Building. Prior to the Commencement Date, Tenant must provide Landlord with certificates that evidence that all insurance coverages required under this Lease are in place. Tenant must furnish to Landlord throughout the Term replacement certificates at least 30 days prior to the expiration dates of the then-current policy. All insurance required under this Lease must be issued by an insurance company that is authorized to do business in the state in which the Building is located, and has a financial rating of at least an A-VIII as rated in the most recent edition of Best’s Insurance Reports. The insurance limits stated above will not limit Tenant’s liability. Any deductible under Tenant’s insurance policy in excess of $25,000 must be approved by Landlord in writing.

 

(b)         Landlord and Tenant must each procure an appropriate clause to any property insurance covering the Building and Tenant’s personal property, fixtures, and equipment, wherein the insurer waives subrogation and consents to a waiver of right of recovery pursuant to this Section. Landlord and Tenant hereby waive, and agree not to 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 conditions to the extent of proceeds received after application of any commercially reasonable deductible (or would have been received if the party had maintained the insurance it was required to carry under this Lease) from the property insurance that was required to be carried by that party.

 

9.              Indemnification.

 

(a) Subject to Section 9(b), Tenant must defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Landlord, Landlord’s property manager, and Brandywine Realty Trust and each of Landlord’s directors, officers, members, partners, trustees, employees, and agents (collectively, “Landlord Indemnitees”) from and against any and all claims, actions, damages, liabilities, and expenses to the extent arising from: (i) Tenant’s breach of this Lease, and (ii) any negligence or willful act of Tenant or any of Tenant’s employees, agents, invitees, subtenants, or contractors. If Tenant fails to promptly defend a Landlord Indemnitee following written demand by the Landlord Indemnitee, the Landlord Indemnitee must defend the same at Tenant’s expense, by retaining or employing counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Landlord Indemnitee. The provisions of this Section will survive the Expiration Date.

 

(b) Landlord shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Tenant, Tenant’s affiliates and each of their respective directors, officers, members, partners, trustees, employees, and agents (collectively, “Tenant Indemnitees”) from and against any and all claims, actions, damages, liabilities, and expenses to the extent arising from: (i) Landlord’s breach of this Lease; and (ii) any gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or any of Landlord’s employees, agents, invitees, subtenants, or contractors. If Landlord fails to promptly defend a Tenant Indemnitee (with counsel reasonably satisfactory to Tenant) following written demand by the Tenant Indemnitee, the Tenant Indemnitee may defend the same at Landlord’s reasonable expense, by retaining or employing counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Tenant Indemnitee. The provisions of this Section will survive the Expiration Date.

 

10.       Casualty. If any casualty occurs to the Building (other than to the Premises) and: (i) insurance proceeds are unavailable to Landlord or are insufficient to restore the Building to substantially its pre-casualty condition; or (ii) more than 30% of the square feet of the Building is damaged, Landlord may terminate this Lease by sending written notice of such termination to Tenant within 60 days after the casualty. If any casualty occurs to the Premises and: (i) in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, the repair and restoration work would require more than 150 consecutive days to complete after the casualty (assuming normal work crews not engaged in overtime); or (ii) the casualty occurs during the last 9 months of the Term, either Landlord or Tenant may terminate this Lease by sending written notice of such termination to the other party within 60 days after the date of the casualty. The termination notice must specify a termination date not fewer than 30 nor more than 90 days after such notice is given to the other party. If neither party terminates this Lease, then Tenant’s obligation to pay Gross Rent will be equitably adjusted or abated during the period (if any) during which Tenant is not reasonably able to use all or a portion of the Premises as a result of such casualty.

 

11.       Condemnation. If a taking renders the Building reasonably and materially unsuitable for the Permitted Use, either Landlord or Tenant may terminate this Lease as of the date title to condemned real estate vests in the condemnor by written notice to the other. If this Lease is not terminated after a condemnation, then Gross Rent will be equitably reduced in proportion to the area of the Premises that has been taken for the balance of the Term. Tenant may make a claim against the condemnor for moving expenses to the extent that such claim does not reduce the sums otherwise payable by the condemnor to Landlord.

 

12.                               Subordination; Estoppel Certificate. This Lease is subordinate to the lien of any deeds of trust or mortgages now or hereafter placed upon the Building or any portion thereof (a “Mortgage”) without the necessity of any further instrument or act on the part of Tenant to effectuate such subordination. Tenant must execute and deliver to Landlord within 10 business days after written demand such further instrument evidencing such subordination and agreement to attorn as may be reasonably required by any Mortgagee. Upon written request, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement (an “SNDA”) with respect to this Lease from the holder of any Mortgage. Such SNDA to be on the standard form supplied by such holder, at no cost to Landlord. Tenant shall pay to Landlord for Landlord’s

 

4



 

administrative and/or professional costs in connection with seeking such SNDA all of Landlord’s costs in reviewing and taking the proposed action, at a cost of no less than $1,500.  If Landlord is or is alleged to be in default of any of its obligations owing to Tenant under this Lease, Tenant must give notice thereof to the holder (“Mortgagee”) of any Mortgage that Tenant has been given written notice. Tenant may not exercise any right or remedy because of any default by Landlord without having given such notice to the Mortgagee, and if Landlord fails to cure such default, the Mortgagee may cure such default within 45 days after Mortgagee’s receipt of Tenant’s default notice. Any Mortgagee may at any time subordinate its mortgage to this Lease, without Tenant’s consent, by written notice to Tenant, in which case this Lease is deemed prior to such Mortgage without regard to their respective dates of execution and delivery, and the Mortgagee has the same rights with respect to this Lease as though it had been executed prior to the execution and delivery of the Mortgage. Tenant must, within 10 business days after Landlord’s written request from time to time, execute and deliver to Landlord an estoppel certificate certifying to all reasonably requested information pertaining to this Lease.

 

13.       Default.

 

(a)         An “Event of Default” is deemed to exist if: (i) Tenant fails to pay any Rent when due and such failure continues for more than 10 days after Landlord has given Tenant written notice of such failure; provided, however, Landlord has no obligation to give Tenant more than 2 such notices in any 12-month period, after which it is deemed an Event of Default if Tenant fails to pay any Rent when due, regardless of Tenant’s receipt of notice of such non-payment; or (ii) Tenant fails to observe or perform any of Tenant’s other agreements or obligations under this Lease and such failure continues for more than 30 days after Landlord gives Tenant written notice of such failure, or the expiration of such additional time period as is reasonably necessary to cure such failure (not to exceed 60 days), provided Tenant immediately commences and thereafter proceeds with all due diligence and in good faith to cure such failure.

 

(b)         Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, at Landlord’s sole option Landlord may elect to do any one or more of the following:

 

(i)             Enter and repossess the Premises, by breaking open locked doors if necessary, and remove all persons and all or any property, by action at law or otherwise, without being liable for prosecution or damages, and/or make alterations and repairs in order to relet all or any part(s) of the Premises for Tenant’s account. Tenant must pay to Landlord on demand any deficiency (taking into account all costs incurred by Landlord) that may arise by reason of such reletting. In the event of reletting without termination of this Lease, Landlord may at any time thereafter elect to terminate this Lease for such previous breach;

 

(ii)          Accelerate the whole or any part of the Rent for the balance of the Term and declare the same to be immediately due and payable; and

 

(iii)       Terminate this Lease and the Term without any right on the part of Tenant to save the forfeiture by payment of any sum due or by other performance of any condition, term, or covenant broken.

 

(c)          Landlord may cure any default on behalf of Tenant, and Tenant will reimburse Landlord upon demand for any sums paid or costs reasonably incurred by Landlord in curing such default plus an administrative fee equal to 5% of such costs. Any amount of Rent that is not paid when due will bear interest at the rate of 1% per month until paid in full.

 

(d)         Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Tenant is liable to Landlord for: (i) all accrued and unpaid installments of Rent; (ii) all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in recovering possession of the Premises, including legal fees, and removal and storage of Tenant’s property; (iii) the costs and expenses of restoring the Premises to the condition in which the same were to have been surrendered by Tenant as of the Expiration Date; (iv) all legal fees and court costs reasonably incurred by Landlord in connection with the Event of Default; and (v) the unamortized portion of brokerage commissions and consulting fees incurred by Landlord, calculated on a straight-line basis, and concessions including free rent given by Landlord, in connection with this Lease.

 

(e)          Neither any delay or forbearance by Landlord in exercising any right or remedy hereunder nor Landlord’s undertaking or performing any act that Landlord is not expressly required to undertake under this Lease may be construed to be a waiver of Landlord’s rights or to represent any agreement by Landlord to thereafter undertake or perform such act. The rights granted to Landlord in this Section are cumulative of every other right or remedy provided in this Lease or which Landlord may otherwise have at law or in equity or by statute, and the exercise of one or more rights or remedies may not prejudice or impair the concurrent or subsequent exercise of other rights or remedies or constitute a forfeiture or waiver of Rent or damages accruing to Landlord by reason of any Event of Default under this Lease. Landlord may accept payment without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the balance or pursue any other right or remedy provided for in this Lease, at law, or in equity.

 

14.       Surrender. No later than the Expiration Date or earlier termination of Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises (“Surrender Date”), Tenant must vacate and surrender the Premises to Landlord in good order and condition, vacant, broom clean, and in conformity with the applicable provisions of this Lease. Tenant has no right to hold over beyond the Surrender Date, and if Tenant does not vacate as required such failure is deemed an Event of Default and Tenant’s occupancy will not be construed to effect or constitute anything other than a tenancy at sufferance. During any period of occupancy beyond the Surrender Date, the amount of monthly Rent owed by Tenant to Landlord shall be for an additional month at one hundred-fifty percent (150%) of the sum of the Rent as those sums are at that time calculated under the provisions of the Lease for the first five (5) months of such period and upon the sixth month of occupancy beyond the Surrender Date at two hundred percent (200%) of the sum of Rent as those sums are at that time calculated under the provision of the Lease, without prorating for any partial month of holdover. The provisions of this Section will not constitute a waiver by Landlord of any right of reentry as set forth in this Lease, nor will receipt of any Rent or any other act in apparent affirmance of the tenancy operate as a waiver of Landlord’s right to terminate this Lease. If Tenant fails to vacate and surrender the Premises as and when required, Tenant must indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Landlord from all costs, losses, expenses, or liabilities incurred as a result of such failure. Prior to the Expiration Date or sooner termination of Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises, at Tenant’s expense Tenant must remove from the Premises Tenant’s Property (it being understood that Tenant shall not be required to remove any wiring or cabling installed by Tenant, to the extent the same is in good working order), and restore in a good and workmanlike manner any damage to the Premises and/or the Building caused by such removal or replace the damaged component of the Premises and/or the Building if such component cannot be restored as reasonably determined by Landlord. Tenant’s obligation to pay Rent and to perform all other Lease obligations for the period through the Surrender Date and the terms of this Section survive the Expiration Date.

 

15.       Compliance with Laws.

pay all personal property taxes, income taxes, and other taxes, assessments, and similar charges that are or may be assessed, levied, or imposed upon Tenant. Tenant must pay to Landlord all sales, use, transaction privilege, gross receipts, or other excise tax that may at any time be levied or imposed upon, or measured by, any amount payable by Tenant under this Lease.

Except as set forth above, during the Term Landlord must comply with all applicable laws regarding the Building, including without limitation compliance with Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, 42 U.S.C. §12181 et seq. and its regulations as to the design and construction of the common areas. This Section survives the Expiration Date.

 

16.       Notices. Whenever notice must be given or served by either party to this Lease, such notice will be duly given or served if in writing and either: (i) personally served; (ii) delivered by prepaid nationally recognized courier service with evidence of receipt required; or (iii) forwarded by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid; in all such cases addressed to the applicable Notice Address.

However, communications related to ordinary business operations may be emailed or mailed to Tenant’s billing contact.

 

17.       Brokers. Landlord and Tenant each represents and warrants to the other that it has had no dealings, negotiations, or consultations with respect to the Premises or this transaction with any broker or finder other than a Landlord affiliate and Broker.

Landlord will pay Landlord’s affiliate and Broker a commission in connection with this Lease pursuant to the terms of a separate agreement. This Section survives the Expiration Date.

 

18.       Landlord’s Liability. Landlord’s obligations under this Lease are binding upon Landlord only for the period of time that Landlord is in ownership of the Building, and upon termination of that ownership, Tenant may, except as to any obligations that are then due and owing, look solely to Landlord’s successor-in-interest in ownership of the Building for the satisfaction of each and every obligation of Landlord under this Lease. Upon request and without charge, Tenant must attorn to any successor to Landlord’s interest in this Lease and, at the option of any mortgagee, to such mortgagees. Landlord will have no personal liability under any of the terms, conditions or covenants of this Lease, and Tenant shall look solely to the equity of Landlord in the Building and/or the proceeds therefrom for the satisfaction of any claim, remedy, or cause of action of any kind whatsoever arising from the relationship between the parties or any rights and obligations they may have relating to the Building, this Lease, or anything related to either.
