In the event Landlord receives a check from Tenant written on insufficient funds, Landlord may charge Tenant a fifty ($50.00) dollar fee to reimburse Landlord for its costs and expenses.

All rent shall be payable without notice, demand, set-off, deduction or counterclaim. The obligation to pay rent is an independent covenant on the part of Tenant. Under no circumstances may Tenant withhold payment of rent. Tenant may pursue, however, any independent remedies (if any) Tenant has under this Lease. The terms “rent, base rent, additional rent, minimum rent” and any similar variant are used interchangeably in this Lease.

In the event that Tenant is classified as a hold-over Tenant pursuant to Commercial Lease Agreement-Summary of Basic Terms, Section 1(B), then in that event, in addition to all rents provided for hereinabove, Tenant shall pay to the Landlord a monthly minimum base rent at a rate at 150% of the monthly rental in effect as of the last month prior to the date of expiration or termination.

All trade fixtures, equipment, appliances, decorations, etc., installed by Tenant in the Leased Premises shall remain the sole property of the Tenant, provided however, that Tenant shall repair any damages caused by the removal of such fixtures, equipment, appliances, decorations, etc., from the Leased Premises at the termination of this lease as provided herein.

Tenant shall not commit or suffer to be committed any waste or any nuisance or other act or thing which may disturb the Landlord or any other person to whom the Landlord has any duty.

Tenant covenants and warrants that Tenant, Tenant’s Work and any alterations thereto and Tenant’s use of Leased Premises will at all time comply with and conform to all laws, statutes, ordinances, rules and regulations of any governmental, quasi-governmental or regulatory authorities (“Laws”) which relate to the transportation, storage, placement, handling, treatment, discharge, generation, production or disposal (collectively “Treatment”) of any waste, petroleum product, waste products, radioactive waste, poly-chlorinated biphenyls, asbestos, hazardous materials of any kind, and any substance which is regulated by any law, statute ordinance, rule or regulation (collectively “Waste”).

All insurance policies shall contain a waiver of subrogation with respect to the coverages provided to landlord there under. Landlord shall similarly request a waiver of subrogation from its property insurer to the extent of its recovery from its insurance company for any property loss that may occur at the leased premises. All policies of insurance will include language that the insurance company or agent for each coverage provided shall provide not less than 30 days advance written notice prior to cancellation or the imposition of any material change in the policy term or condition.

Except for claims arising out of acts caused by the negligence or willful acts of the Landlord or its representatives, Tenant will indemnify Landlord and save Landlord harmless from and against any and all claims, actions, damages, liability and expense in conjunction with the loss of life, an occurrence in, upon or at the Leased Premises or the occupancy or use by Tenant of the Leased Premises or any part thereof, or occasioned wholly or in part by any act or omission of Tenant, his agents, contractors, employees, or servants.

TENANT’S INITIAL: /s/ JSM 11/30/21

Failure of Landlord to exercise any right or remedy hereunder shall not be construed as a waiver of the right to exercise the same or any other right at any other time.

Landlord shall have the right to transfer, mortgage, assign, pledge, and convey in whole or in part the Leased Premises, this Lease and all rights of Landlord existing and to exist, and rents and amounts payable to it under the provisions hereof; and nothing herein contained shall limit or restrict any such right, and the rights of Tenant under this Lease shall be subject and subordinate to all instruments executed and to be executed in connection with the exercise of any such right of Landlord, including, but not limited to, the lien of any mortgage, deed of trust or security agreement now or hereafter placed upon the Leased Premises and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, participations, replacements and extensions thereof. Said subordination shall not require the agreement or consent of Tenant, but Tenant covenants and agrees, if requested, to execute and deliver within fifteen (15) days of receipt from Landlord such further instruments subordinating this Lease to the lien of any such mortgage, deed of trust or security agreement as shall be requested by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and/or any mortgagee, proposed mortgagee or holder of any security agreement, and Tenant hereby irrevocably appoints Landlord as its attorney-in-fact to execute and deliver any such instrument for and in the name of ▇▇▇▇▇▇. Notwithstanding anything set out in this Lease to the contrary, in the event the holder of any mortgage or deed of trust elects to have this Lease superior to its mortgage or deed of trust, then, upon Tenant being notified to that effect by such encumbrance holder, this Lease shall be deemed prior to the lien of said mortgage or deed of trust, whether this Lease is adopted prior to or subsequent to the date of said mortgage or deed of trust.

Tenant shall from time to time, upon no less than ten (10) days written request by Landlord execute, acknowledge or deliver to Landlord a written statement certifying that this Lease Agreement is unmodified and in full force and effect (or that the same is in full force and effect as modified, listing the instruments or modification), the dates to which the rent and additional rent have been paid, and whether or not, to the best of tenant’s knowledge, Landlord is in default hereunder (and if so, specify the nature of the default), it being intended that any such statement delivered pursuant to this paragraph 11 may be relied upon by a prospective purchaser or purchaser or mortgagee of Landlord’s property, including, without limitation, the Premises.

Paragraph 12 intentionally deleted.

Should Tenant fail to keep and perform any of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease to be kept and performed by ▇▇▇▇▇▇, as provided in Section 9(A), Landlord may appropriate and apply said entire deposit, or so much thereof as may be necessary, to compensate Landlord for loss or damage sustained by Landlord due to such breach, without prejudice to its further rights and remedies. Should the entire security deposit or any portion thereof be appropriated and applied by Landlord for the payment of overdue rent or other sums due from Tenant hereunder, then Tenant shall, within ten (10) days of the written demand of Landlord forthwith remit to Landlord a sufficient amount in cash to restore said deposit to the original sum deposited. Should Tenant comply with all the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease, the said deposit shall be returned in full to Tenant at the end of the term of this Lease. Should Tenant terminate this Lease, without cause or upon an Event of Default, prior to the end of term, then Tenant shall forfeit its security deposit. It is understood and agreed that no part of the security deposit is to be considered as the last rental payment due under the terms of this Lease.

Subject to sections 2(A) and 2(F) above, at the expiration of the tenancy hereby created, Tenant shall peaceably surrender the Leased Premises, including all alterations, additions, improvements, and repairs made thereto and shall remove all items installed by Tenant including: all interior partition walls, trade fixtures, trade equipment, signs, any power wiring or power panels; lighting or lighting fixtures; wall coverings; drapes, blinds or other window coverings; carpets or other floor coverings; or other similar building operating equipment, decorations and trade personal property (unless Landlord requests in writing that any or all of such items remain). The Leased Premises shall be left broom clean and in good condition and repair. Tenant shall remove all its property not required to be surrendered to Landlord before surrendering the Leased Premises as aforesaid and shall repair any damage to the Leased Premises caused thereby. Any personal property remaining in the Leased Premises at the expiration of the lease period shall be deemed abandoned by ▇▇▇▇▇▇, and Landlord may claim the same and shall in no circumstances have any liability to Tenant therefore. The cost of removing such items, which are abandoned by Tenant, shall be charged to Tenant. Upon termination, Tenant shall also surrender all keys for the Leased Premises to Landlord and, if applicable, inform Landlord of any combinations of locks or safes in the Leased Premises. If the Leased Premises are not surrendered at the end of the term as hereinabove set out, Tenant shall indemnify Landlord against loss or liability resulting from delay by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ in so surrendering the Leased Premises, including without limitation claims made by the succeeding ▇▇▇▇▇▇ founded on such delay. Tenant’s obligation to observe or perform this covenant shall survive the expiration or other termination of the Lease Term.

▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees as follows:

Landlord reserves the right from time to time to amend or supplement the foregoing rules and regulations and to adopt and promulgate reasonable additional rules and regulations applicable to the Leased Premises. Notice of such rules and regulations and amendments and supplements thereto, if any, shall be given to Tenant in writing. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to comply with all such rules and regulations, and

Tenant shall be responsible for the observance of these rules and regulations by Tenant’s employees, agents and invitees. The foregoing rules are solely for the benefit of Landlord, and Landlord shall have no obligation to enforce such rules for the benefit of Tenant. Landlord, at its option, may waive certain rules with respect to individual tenants. If Tenant violates any rule, Landlord may notify Tenant that Tenant is in default.

All rights and liabilities herein given to, or imposed upon the respective parties hereto, extend to and bind the respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns of said parties.

The Tenant shall be solely responsible for security for the Leased Premises.

This Agreement shall be deemed to have been made in Pennsylvania and all the terms, conditions and covenants hereunder shall be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

This Lease and any exhibits attached hereto and form a part hereof, set forth all of the covenants, promises, agreements, conditions for understandings, either written or oral, between

them other than as herein set forth. No subsequent alteration, amendment, change or addition to this Lease shall be binding on Landlord or Tenant unless reduced to writing and signed by them.

Tenant shall store nothing outside the Premises, including, without limitation, materials, supplies, inventory or equipment, trash dumpster excepted.

Landlord or Landlord’s agents shall have the right to enter the Leased Premises at all reasonable times and with reasonable notice to examine the same and to show it to purchasers and to make such repairs, alterations, improvements or additions as Landlord may deem necessary or desirable, and Landlord shall be allowed to take all material into and upon the Leased Premises that may be required therefore without the same constituting an eviction of Tenant in whole or in part. During the six (6) months prior to the expiration of the term of this Lease or any renewals thereof, Landlord may exhibit the Leased Premises to prospective Tenants or purchasers and place upon the Leased Premises the usual signage for space rental. Nothing herein contained, however, shall be deemed or construed to impose upon Landlord any obligation, responsibility or liability whatsoever for the care, maintenance or repair of the building or any part thereof, except as otherwise herein specifically provided.

Landlord will have right to show the space during normal business hours to prospective new Tenants when, and if applicable.

Whenever Landlord’s consent or approval is required herein, such consent or approval shall not be deemed given until Landlord has provided such consent or approval in writing. Tenant shall pay Landlord’s reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with Tenant’s request for ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s consent or approval. Where the consent or approval of Landlord shall be required, such consent or approval shall be granted in Landlord’s sole discretion unless otherwise expressly provided. With respect to any provision of this Lease which either expressly provides or is held to provide that Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold or unreasonably delay any consent or approval, Tenant shall not be entitled to make claim for, and Tenant expressly waives claim for, damages incurred by Tenant by reason of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s failure to comply, unless such failure to comply is an act of bad faith on the part of Landlord, it being understood and agreed that ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s sole remedy shall be an action for specific performance.

In the event Tenant hereunder shall be a corporation, the persons executing this Lease on behalf of Tenant hereby covenant and warrant that Tenant is a duly qualified corporation and all steps have been taken prior to the date hereof to qualify Tenant to do business in the State; all franchise and corporate taxes have been paid to date; all future forms, reports, fees and other documents necessary to comply with applicable laws will be filed when due; and those persons executing this Lease on behalf of Tenant are duly qualified and authorized to bind, and in fact do bind, the corporation. In the event Tenant hereunder shall be a partnership, either general or

limited, the persons or entities executing this Lease on behalf of Tenant hereby covenant and warrant that Tenant is a duly qualified partnership and all steps have been taken prior to the date hereof to qualify Tenant to do business in the State, if required by law; all franchise and partnership taxes have been paid to date; all future forms, reports, fees and other documents necessary to comply with applicable laws will be filed when due; and those entities executing this Lease on behalf of partnership are duly qualified to bind, and in fact do bind, the partnership. This Lease shall be effective only when it is signed by both Landlord and ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s submission of a signed lease for review by Landlord does not give Tenant any interest, right or option in the Leased Premises.

Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to the contrary, Tenant agrees that Landlord shall have no personal liability with respect to any of the provisions of this Lease and Tenant shall look solely to the estate and property of Landlord in the Leased Premises for the satisfactions of Tenant’s remedies, including without limitation, the collection of any judgment or the enforcement of any other judicial process requiring the payment or expenditure of money by Landlord in the event of any default or breach by Landlord with respect to any of the terms and provisions of this Lease to be observed and/or performed by Landlord; subject, however, to the prior rights of any holder of any mortgage covering all or part of the Demised Premises, and no other assets of Landlord or any principal of Landlord shall be subject to levy, execution or other judicial process for the satisfaction of Tenant’s. In the event Tenant obtains a judgment against Landlord, the judgment docket shall be so noted. This Section shall inure to the benefits of Landlord’s successors and assigns and their respective principals.

It is hereby expressly agreed and understood that RE/MAX Properties, Ltd. is acting as “Agent” only and shall not in any event be held liable to the Landlord or Tenant for the fulfillment or non-fulfillment of any of the terms and conditions of this LEASE, or for any action or proceedings that may be taken by Landlord against Tenant or by Tenant against Landlord.
