2.2 The Landlord shall, and hereby does, grant to the Tenant, and the Tenant shall, and hereby does, accept from the Landlord, the non-exclusive right to use the Common Facilities during the Term for itself, its employees, other agents and Guests in common with the Landlord, any tenants of Other Leased Premises, any of their respective employees, other agents and guests and such other persons as the Landlord may, in the Landlord’s sole discretion, determine from time to time.

3 Rent.

3.5 The Additional Rent for the Leased Premises during the Term shall be promptly paid by the Tenant in the respective amounts and at the respective times set forth in this Agreement.

4.2 Unless the condition contemplated by subsection 4.3 of this Agreement occurs, the Commencement Date shall be the Substantial Completion Date, adjusted to an earlier date to compensate the Landlord for the cumulative number of days of Tenant Delay.

4.3 In the event the Tenant takes possession of, or occupies, the Leased Premises for the conduct of business earlier than the Substantial Completion Date, the Commencement Date shall be the first date of such earlier taking of possession or occupancy, as adjusted to an earlier date to compensate the Landlord for the cumulative number of days of Tenant Delay.

4.4 Once it is ascertained in accordance with subsections 4.2 and 4.3 of this Agreement, the Landlord shall give prompt notice of the Commencement Date to the Tenant; and if the Tenant does not object thereto by notice given to the Landlord within ten (10) days of the Landlord’s notice, the date set forth in the Landlord’s notice shall thereafter be conclusively presumed to be the Commencement Date.

5 Preparation of the Leased Premises.

5.1 The Landlord shall perform, at the Landlord’s sole cost and expense, the Landlord’s Work. Otherwise, the Tenant shall accept the Leased Premises on the Commencement Date in its then “AS IS” condition. The Landlord’s Work shall mean, using Building Standard materials and methods, (a) re-painting the existing painted walls in the Leased Premises, (b) commercially shampooing the existing carpeted floors in the Leased Premises, (c) installing a new glass entry door, and (d) installing new building standard window shades.

The design and construction of any alterations, improvements or other modifications to the Leased Premises in addition to the Landlord’s Work made at the request of the Tenant shall be at the sole cost and expense of the Tenant. The Tenant shall pay such additional design and construction costs to the Landlord within thirty (30) days after the invoicing therefor.

5.5 The Tenant, using its own contractors, desires to install telecommunications and data wiring and cabling, and furniture, fixtures and equipment in the Leased Premises prior to the Substantial Completion Date. The Landlord shall give to the Tenant at least fourteen (14) days’ advance notice of the Landlord’s projected date of the Substantial Completion Date granting access

to the Leased Premises to the Tenant and its contractors to perform such installations. The Tenant and its contractors may have access to the Leased Premises prior to the Substantial Completion Date to perform such installations provided that the Tenant (i) complies with its obligations under section 12 and 14 of this Agreement, and (ii) hereby acknowledges that such access and installation may cause Tenant Delay.

5.6 The Tenant shall timely comply on a continuing basis with each of its obligations under sections 12 and 14 of this Agreement in advance of, and while, any of its employees, contractors or other agents are present in the Building or on the Property performing any alterations, improvements or other modifications in or other preparation of the Leased Premises.

6 Options.

6.1 If, prior to the date of exercise thereof (a)(i) no Event of Default shall have occurred or (ii) if an Event of Default shall have occurred, the Tenant shall have previously cured it in full or the Landlord shall have waived it and (b) there shall not have been a History of Recurring Events of Default, the Tenant shall have one option, exercisable exclusively at the time and in the manner set forth below in subsection 6.2 of this Agreement, to extend the Term for one additional period of three (3) years’ duration. The period to which this option relates shall commence upon the end of the Initial Term. This option is the “Option to Renew.”

6.2 In the event the Tenant is interested in exercising the Option to Renew, the Tenant shall give timely notice of the Tenant’s interest to the Landlord no earlier than fifteen (15), and no later than fourteen (14), months prior to the end of the Initial Term. Within four (4) weeks of the giving of such notice, the Landlord shall give notice to the Tenant of the Landlord’s quotation of the Market Rental Rate for the Leased Premises during the Renewal Term. In the event the Tenant desires to exercise the Option to Renew, the Tenant shall do so exclusively by giving timely notice thereof to the Landlord no earlier than thirteen (13), and no later than twelve (12), months prior to the end of the Initial Term, and indicating in that notice whether or not the Landlord’s quotation of the Market Rental Rate for the Leased Premises during the Renewal Term, as set forth in the Landlord’s notice, is acceptable. In the event the Tenant fails timely to notify the Landlord of its interest in exercising the Option to Renew or timely to exercise the Option to Renew, the Option to Renew shall thereupon expire.

6.3 The Basic Rent for the Leased Premises during the Renewal Term shall be the Landlord’s quotation of the Market Rental Rate for the Leased Premises during the Renewal Term, as set forth in the Landlord’s notice to the Tenant, unless the Tenant, in the Tenant’s notice contemplated by the third sentence of subsection 6.2 of this Agreement affirmatively indicates that the Landlord’s quotation of the Market Rental Rate set forth in the Landlord’s notice is not acceptable, in which case the Basic Rent for the Leased Premises during the Renewal Term shall be the greater of:

6.3.1 the Market Rental Rate as determined in accordance with the procedure described in subsection 33.1 of this Agreement; or

6.3.2 the annual rate of Basic Rent in effect during the last 12 months of the then Expiring Term.

6.4 The Option to Renew may not be exercised by any person other than the original Tenant, Lian Pharma, or an assignee of the Tenant to which the Tenant has assigned this Agreement in accordance with the terms of subsection 17.6 of this Agreement. In the event the Tenant assigns this Agreement or sublets, or licenses the use or occupancy of, the Leased Premises or any portions thereof other than in accordance with subsection 17.6 of this Agreement, or attempts to do so:

6.4.1 any Option to Renew which the Tenant has theretofore properly exercised with respect to a Renewal Term that has not yet actually commenced shall be rescinded, if the Landlord so elects by notice to the Tenant, to the same extent as if it had not been exercised at all; and

6.4.2 any Option to Renew or any other type of option or optional right exercisable by the Tenant not theretofore timely and otherwise properly exercised by the Tenant shall thereupon expire.

7 Use and Occupancy.

7.1 The Tenant shall continuously occupy and use the Leased Premises during the Term exclusively as executive and administrative office for its business.

Unless the Tenant desires to question the Landlord’s then most recent estimate of Tenant Electric Charges exclusively in the manner set forth below, the

Landlord’s then most recent estimate shall be binding and shall continue in effect until any question raised by the Tenant is otherwise resolved in accordance with this subsection 10.10 of this Agreement. If the Tenant desires to question the Landlord’s estimate of Tenant Electric Charges, provided that the Tenant has completed its initial build-out of the Leased Premises, has fully staffed the Leased Premises and is utilizing such quantity of utility service which the Tenant reasonably projects will be the average quantity of utility service which the Tenant will use throughout the Term, the Tenant shall give notice to the Landlord of its desire. Upon receipt of the Tenant’s notice, the Landlord shall obtain, at the Tenant’s expense, a reputable, independent electrical engineer’s formal written estimate and computation of the Tenant Electric Charges. The engineer’s estimate and computation of Tenant Electric Charges shall thereupon control for a twelve (12) month period commencing with the date as of which it is given effect as to Tenant Electric Charges, and until the Landlord furnishes the Tenant with a subsequent notice setting forth its estimate of Tenant Electric Charges per month, except to the extent that the Landlord may increase them in proportion to increases in Utilities Expenses during the same period.

10.11 Subject to the provisions of this subsection 10.11 and provided that no Event of Default exists, the Tenant shall have the right to examine the correctness of the Landlord’s statement of the actual amount of Operational Expenses and Taxes as set forth in the notices required by subsections 10.6 and 10.8 or any item contained therein:

10.11.1 Any request for examination with respect to any calendar year during the Term may be made by notice from the Tenant to the Landlord no more than sixty (60) days after the date (the “Operational Expenses and Taxes Statement Date”) on which the Landlord provides to the Tenant a statement of the actual amount of the Operational Expenses and Taxes with respect to such calendar year and only if the Tenant shall have fully paid such amount. Such notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the matters questioned. Any such examination must be completed and the results communicated to the Landlord no more than one hundred eighty (180) days after the Operational Expenses and Taxes Statement Date. Such examination shall be performed only by an independent certified public accounting firm selected by the Tenant and approved by the Landlord (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and whose fee or other compensation is fixed by contract and is in no manner computed or determined based upon the results of the audit (the “Accountant”). If the results of such examination conclusively show that the Landlord has overstated the Tenant’s Share of Operational Expenses and Taxes, the Landlord shall credit the amount of such overstatement against the monthly installments of Rent next due under this Lease (or refund such amount if the Term of this Lease has ended and the Tenant has no further obligation to the Landlord). If the results of such examination conclusively show that the Landlord has not overstated Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Operational Expenses and Taxes, then the Landlord may invoice the Tenant for any amount by which the Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Operational Expenses and Taxes were understated, which invoice shall be payable by the Tenant within thirty (30) days after receipt. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the results of such examination conclusively show that the Landlord has overstated the Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Operational Expenses and Taxes by more than five percent (5%) in the aggregate (after netting any understated line items against any overstated line items), then the Landlord shall reimburse the Tenant for the commercially reasonable costs of Tenant’s audit, including the cost of the Accountant.

10.11.2 The Tenant hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Tenant’s sole right to contest an Operational Expenses and Taxes statement shall be as expressly set forth in this subsection 10.11. The Tenant hereby waives any and all other rights pursuant to applicable law to inspect the Landlord’s books and records and/or to contest such Operational Expenses and Taxes statement. If the Tenant shall fail to timely exercise the Tenant’s right to inspect the Landlord’s books and records as provided in this subsection 10.11 with respect to any calendar year, or if the Tenant shall fail to timely communicate to the Landlord the results of the Tenant’s examination as provided in this subsection 10.11 with respect to any calendar year, the Landlord’s statement of Operational Expenses and Taxes with respect to such calendar year shall be conclusive and binding on the Tenant.

10.11.3 So much of the Landlord’s books and records pertaining to the Operational Expenses and Taxes for the specific matters questioned by the Tenant for the calendar year included in the Landlord’s statement shall be made available to the Tenant and Accountant either electronically or during normal business hours at the offices where the Landlord keeps such books and records or at another location, as reasonably determined by the Landlord, within a reasonable time after the Landlord timely receives the notice from the Tenant to make such examination pursuant to this subsection 10.11.

10.11.4 The Tenant shall have the right to make such examination no more than once with respect to any calendar year for which the Landlord has given the Tenant a statement of the Operational Expenses and Taxes.

10.11.5 [Intentionally Omitted]

10.11.6 As a condition to performing any such examination, the Tenant and the Accountant shall be required to execute and deliver to the Landlord an agreement, in form reasonably acceptable to the Landlord, agreeing to keep confidential any information which it discovers about the Landlord, the Property, the Building or the Leased Premises in connection with such examination.

10.11.7 No subtenant shall have any right to conduct any such examination and no assignee may conduct any such examination with respect to any period during which the assignee was not in possession of the Leased Premises.

10.11.8 All costs and expenses of any such examination shall be paid by the Tenant.

10.12 The mere enumeration of an item within the definitions of Operational Expenses and Capital Expenditures in subsections 10.2 and 10.3 of this Agreement, respectively, shall not be deemed to create an obligation on the part of the Landlord to provide such item unless the Landlord is affirmatively required to provide such item elsewhere in this Agreement.

10.13 In the event that there is located in the Leased Premises a data center containing high density computing equipment, as defined in the U.S. EPA’s Energy Star^® rating system (“Energy Star”), the Landlord may require the installation in accordance with Energy Star of separate metering or check metering equipment, the Tenant being responsible for the costs of any such meter or check meter and the installation and connectivity thereof. The Tenant shall directly pay to the utility all electric consumption on any such meter and shall pay to the Landlord, as Additional Rent, all electric consumption on any such check meter within thirty (30) days after being billed thereof by the Landlord, in addition to other electric charges payable by the Tenant under this Agreement.

10.14 In the event that the Tenant purchases any utility service directly from the provider, the Tenant shall promptly provide to the Landlord either permission to access the Tenant’s usage information from the utility service provider or copies of the utility bills for the Tenant’s usage of such services in a format reasonably acceptable to the Landlord.

11 Leasehold Improvements, Fixtures and Trade Fixtures. All leasehold improvements to the Leased Premises, fixtures installed in the Leased Premises and the blinds and floor treatments or coverings shall be the property of the Landlord, regardless of when, by which party or at which party’s cost the item is installed.

12.2.4.4 prior to any such contractor’s entering upon the Property, the Building or the Leased Premises or commencing work the Tenant shall have delivered to the Landlord (a) all the Tenant’s certificates of insurance set forth in section 14 of this Agreement, conforming in all respects to the requirements of section 14 of this Agreement, except that the effective dates of all such insurance policies shall be prior to any such contractor’s entering upon the Property, the Building or the Leased Premises or commencing work (if any work is scheduled to begin before the Commencement Date) and (b) similar certificates of insurance from each of the Tenant’s contractors providing for coverage in equivalent amounts, together with their respective certificates of workers’ compensation insurance, employer’s liability insurance and products-completed operations insurance, the latter providing coverage in at least the amount required for the Tenant’s commercial general liability and excess insurance, for the benefit of, and shall name, the Landlord, the Landlord’s managing agent and mortgagees and ground lessors known to the Tenant, if any, of the Building, the Common Facilities, the Property or any interest therein, their successors and assigns as additional persons insured, and (c) certificates of insurance from each of the Tenant’s contractors providing for builders’ risk insurance coverage from financially sound and reputable insurers, licensed by the State of New Jersey to provide such insurance and acceptable to the Landlord, that is written on an “all risk” of physical loss or damage basis, for the full replacement cost value, which insurance policy shall be maintained in full force and effect until final completion of the respective work, and none of which insurance policies shall contain a “co-insurance” clause;

13.2 Upon at least one day’s prior verbal advice to the Tenant, at any time for the purpose of erecting or constructing improvements, modifications, alterations and other changes to the Building or any portion thereof, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the

Leased Premises, the Common Facilities or the Property or for the purpose of repairing, maintaining or cleaning them, whether for the benefit of the Landlord, the Building, all tenants of Other Leased Premises in the Building, or one or more tenants of Other Leased Premises, the Carnegie Center Complex or others. In connection with any such improvements, modifications, alterations, other changes, repairs, maintenance or cleaning, the Landlord may close off such portions of the Property, the Building and the Common Facilities and interrupt such services as may be necessary to accomplish such work, without liability to the Tenant therefor and without such closing or interruption being deemed an eviction or constructive eviction or requiring an abatement of Rent.

14 Liabilities and Insurance Obligations.

14.1 The Tenant shall maintain in full force on or before the earlier of (i) the date on which any Tenant Party first enters the Leased Premises for any reason, or (ii) the Commencement Date, and thereafter throughout and until the end of the Term, and after the end of the Term for so long after the end of the Term as any of the Tenant’s Property remains in the Leased Premises, or the Tenant or anyone acting by, through or under the Tenant may use, be in occupancy of any part of, or have access to the Leased Premises or any portion thereof, a policy of commercial general liability insurance, on an occurrence basis, issued on a form at least as broad as Insurance Services Office (“ISO”) Commercial General Liability Coverage “occurrence” form CG 00 01 10 01 or another Commercial General Liability “occurrence” form providing equivalent coverage. Such insurance shall include contractual liability coverage, specifically covering but not limited to the indemnification obligations undertaken by the Tenant in this Agreement. The minimum limits of liability of such insurance shall be $3,000,000 per occurrence. In addition, in the event the Tenant hosts a function in the Leased Premises, the Tenant agrees to obtain, and cause any persons or parties providing services for such function to obtain, the appropriate insurance coverages as determined by the Landlord (including liquor liability coverage, if applicable) and provide the Landlord with evidence of the same.

14.2 The Tenant shall maintain at all times during the Term, and during such earlier or later time as the Tenant may be performing work in or to the Leased Premises or have property, fixtures, furniture, equipment, machinery, goods, supplies, wares or merchandise in the Leased Premises, and continuing thereafter so long as any of the Tenant’s Property, remains in the Leased Premises, or the Tenant or anyone acting by, through or under the Tenant may use, be in occupancy of or have access to, any part of the Leased Premises, business interruption insurance and insurance against loss or damage covered by the so-called “all risk” or equivalent type insurance coverage with respect to (i) the Tenant’s property, fixtures, furniture, equipment, machinery, goods, supplies, wares and merchandise, and other property of the Tenant located at the Leased Premises, (ii) all additions, alterations and improvements made by or on behalf of the Tenant in the Leased Premises or are existing in the Leased Premises as of the date of this Agreement (“Leasehold Improvements”), and (iii) any property of third parties, including, but not limited to, leased or rented property, in the Leased Premises in the Tenant’s care, custody, use or control, provided that such insurance in the case of (iii) may be maintained by such third parties (collectively the “Tenant’s Property”). The business interruption insurance required by this section shall be in minimum amounts typically carried by prudent tenants engaged in similar operations, but in no event shall be in an amount less than the Basic Rent then in effect during any Lease Year, plus any Additional Rent due and payable for the immediately preceding Lease Year. The “all risk” insurance required by this section shall be in an amount at least equal to the full replacement cost of the Tenant’s Property. In addition, during such time as the Tenant is performing work in or to the Leased Premises, the Tenant, at the Tenant’s sole cost and expense, shall also maintain, or shall cause its contractor(s) to maintain, builder’s risk insurance for the full insurable value of such work. The Landlord and such additional persons or entities as the Landlord may reasonably request shall be named as loss payees, as their interests may appear, on the policy or policies required by this section for Leasehold Improvements. In the event of loss or damage covered by the “all risk” insurance required by this section, the responsibilities for repairing or restoring the loss or damage shall be determined in accordance with section 15 of this Agreement. To the extent that the Landlord is obligated to pay for the repair or restoration of the loss or damage covered by the policy, the Landlord shall be paid the proceeds of the “all risk” insurance covering the loss or damage. To the extent the Tenant is obligated to pay for the repair or restoration of the loss or damage, covered by the policy, the Tenant shall be paid the proceeds of the “all risk” insurance covering the loss or damage. If both the Landlord and the Tenant are obligated to pay for the repair or restoration of the loss or damage covered by the policy, the insurance proceeds shall be paid to each of them in the pro rata proportion of their obligations to repair or restore the loss or damage. If the loss or damage is not repaired or restored (for example, if this Agreement is terminated pursuant to section 15 of this Agreement), the insurance proceeds shall be paid to the Landlord and the Tenant in the pro rata proportion of their relative contributions to the cost of the leasehold improvements covered by the policy.

14.3 The Tenant agrees to maintain in full force on or before the earlier of (i) the date on which any Tenant Party first enters the Leased Premises for any reason, or (ii) the Commencement Date, and thereafter throughout the end of the Term, and after the end of the Term for so long after the end of the Term that any of the Tenant’s Property remains in the Leased Premises or as the Tenant or anyone acting by, through or under the Tenant may use, be in occupancy of, or have

access to the Leased Premises or any portion thereof, (a) automobile liability insurance (covering any automobiles owned or operated by the Tenant at the Carnegie Center Complex); (b) worker’s compensation insurance as required by law; and (c) employer’s liability insurance. Such automobile liability insurance shall be in an amount not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) for each accident. Such employer’s liability insurance shall be in an amount not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) for each accident, One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) disease-policy limit, and One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) disease-each employee.

14.4 All insurance required to be maintained by the Tenant pursuant to this Agreement shall be maintained with responsible companies that are admitted to do business, and are in good standing, in the State of New Jersey and that have a rating of at least “A” and are within a financial size category of not less than “Class X” in the most current Best’s Key Rating Guide or such similar rating as may be reasonably selected by the Landlord. All such insurance shall: (1) be acceptable in form and content to the Landlord; and (2) contain a clause requiring the insurer to provide the Landlord thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of cancellation or failure to renew. All commercial general liability, excess/umbrella liability and automobile liability insurance policies shall be primary and noncontributory. No liability insurance policy shall contain any self-insured retention greater than $25,000 and no property insurance policy shall contain any self-insured retention greater than $25,000. Any deductibles and such self-insured retentions shall be deemed to be “insurance” for purposes of the waiver in subsection 14.12 below. The Landlord reserves the right from time to time to require the Tenant to obtain higher minimum amounts of insurance based on such limits as are customarily carried with respect to similar properties in the area in which the Leased Premises are located. The minimum amounts of insurance required by this Agreement shall not be reduced by the payment of claims or for any other reason. In the event the Tenant shall fail to obtain or maintain any insurance meeting the requirements of this section 14, or to deliver such policies or certificates as required by this section 14, the Landlord may, at its option, on five (5) days notice to the Tenant, procure such policies for the account of the Tenant, and the cost thereof shall be paid to the Landlord within five (5) days after delivery to the Tenant of invoices therefor.

14.5 To the fullest extent permitted by law, the commercial general liability and auto insurance carried by the Tenant pursuant to this Agreement, and any additional liability insurance carried by the Tenant pursuant to subsection 14.1 of this Agreement, shall name the Landlord, the Landlord’s managing agent, and such other persons as the Landlord may reasonably request from time to time as additional insureds (collectively “Additional Insureds”) with respect to liability arising out of or related to this Agreement or the operations of the Tenant. Such insurance shall provide primary coverage without contribution from any other insurance carried by or for the benefit of the Landlord, the Landlord’s managing agent, or other Additional Insureds. Such insurance shall also waive any right of subrogation against each Additional Insured. For the avoidance of doubt, each primary policy and each excess/umbrella policy through which the Tenant satisfies its obligations under this section 14 must provide coverage to the Additional Insureds that is primary and non-contributory.

14.6 On or before the earlier of (i) the date on which any Tenant Party first enters the Leased Premises for any reason or (ii) the Commencement Date, the Tenant shall furnish the Landlord with certificates evidencing the insurance coverage required by this Agreement, and renewal certificates shall be furnished to the Landlord at least annually thereafter, and at least thirty

(30) days prior to the expiration date of each policy for which a certificate was furnished. Acceptable forms of such certificates for liability and property insurance, respectively, as of the date hereof, are attached hereto as Exhibit G and Exhibit H. Failure by the Tenant to provide the certificates required by this subsection 14.6 shall not be deemed to be a waiver of the requirements in this subsection 14.6. Upon request by the Landlord, a true and complete copy of any insurance policy required by this Agreement shall be delivered to the Landlord within ten (10) days following the Landlord’s request.

14.7 The Tenant shall require its subtenants and other occupants of the Leased Premises to provide written documentation evidencing the obligation of such subtenant or other occupant to indemnify the Landlord Parties to the same extent that the Tenant is required to indemnify the Landlord Parties pursuant to section 27 of this Agreement, and to maintain insurance that meets the requirements of this section 14, and otherwise to comply with the requirements of this section 14, provided that the terms of this subsection 14.7 shall not relieve the Tenant of any of its obligations to comply with the requirements of this section 14. The Tenant shall require all such subtenants and occupants to supply certificates of insurance evidencing that the insurance requirements of this section 14 have been met and shall forward such certificates to the Landlord on or before the earlier of (i) the date on which the subtenant or other occupant first enters the Leased Premises or (ii) the commencement date of the sublease. The Tenant shall be responsible for identifying and remedying any deficiencies in such certificates or policy provisions.

14.8 The Tenant shall not commit or permit any violation of the policies of fire, boiler, sprinkler, water damage or other insurance covering the Building and/or the fixtures, equipment and property therein carried by the Landlord, or do or permit anything to be done, or keep or permit anything to be kept, in the Leased Premises, which in case of any of the foregoing (i) would result in termination of any such policies, (ii) would adversely affect the Landlord’s right of recovery under any of such policies, or (iii) would result in reputable and independent insurance companies refusing to insure the Building or the property of the Landlord in amounts reasonably satisfactory to the Landlord.

14.9 If, because of anything done, caused or permitted to be done, or omitted by the Tenant (or its subtenant or other occupants of the Leased Premises), the rates for liability, fire, boiler, sprinkler, water damage or other insurance on the Building or the Property or on the property and equipment of the Landlord or any other tenant or subtenant in the Building shall be higher than they otherwise would be, the Tenant shall reimburse the Landlord and/or the other tenants and subtenants in the Building for the additional insurance premiums thereafter paid by the Landlord or by any of the other tenants and subtenants in the Building which shall have been charged because of the aforesaid reasons, such reimbursement to be made from time to time on the Landlord’s demand.

14.10 Any or all of the Landlord’s insurance may be provided by blanket coverage maintained by the Landlord or any Affiliate of the Landlord under its insurance program for its portfolio of properties, or by the Landlord or any Affiliate of the Landlord under a program of self insurance, and in such event Operational Expenses shall include the portion of the reasonable cost of blanket insurance or self insurance that is allocated to the Building.

14.11 The Landlord shall not be obligated to insure and shall not assume any liability of risk of loss for the Tenant’s Property, including any such property or work of the Tenant’s subtenants or occupants. The Landlord shall also have no obligation to carry insurance against, nor be responsible for, any loss suffered by the Tenant, subtenants or other occupants due to interruption of the Tenant’s or any subtenant’s or occupant’s business.

14.12 To the fullest extent permitted by law, and notwithstanding any term or provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the parties hereto waive and release any and all rights of recovery against the other, and agree not to seek to recover from the other or to make any claim against the other, and in the case of the Landlord, against all Tenant Parties, and in the case of the Tenant, against all Landlord Parties, for any loss or damage incurred by the waiving/releasing party to the extent such loss or damage is insured under any insurance policy required by this Agreement or which would have been so insured had the party carried the insurance it was required to carry hereunder. The Tenant shall obtain from its subtenants and other occupants of the Leased Premises a similar waiver and release of claims against any or all of the Tenant or the Landlord. In addition, the parties hereto (and in the case of the Tenant, its subtenants and other occupants of the Leased Premises) shall procure an appropriate clause in, or endorsement on, any insurance policy required by this Agreement pursuant to which the insurance company waives subrogation so long as no material additional premium is charged for such waiver. The insurance policies required by this Agreement shall contain no provision that would invalidate or restrict the parties’ waiver and release of the rights of recovery in this section. The parties hereto covenant that no insurer shall hold any right of subrogation against the parties hereto by virtue of such insurance policy.

14.13 During such times as the Tenant is performing work or having work or services performed in or to the Leased Premises, the Tenant shall require its contractors, and their subcontractors of all tiers, to obtain and maintain commercial general liability, automobile, workers compensation, employer’s liability, builder’s risk, and equipment/property insurance in such amounts and on such terms as are customarily required of such contractors and subcontractors on similar projects. The amounts and terms of all such insurance are subject to the Landlord’s written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. The commercial general liability and auto insurance carried by the Tenant’s contractors and their subcontractors of all tiers pursuant to this section shall name the Additional Insureds as additional insureds with respect to liability arising out of or related to their work or services. Such insurance shall provide primary coverage without contribution from any other insurance carried by or for the benefit of the Landlord, the Landlord’s managing agent, or other Additional Insureds. Such insurance shall also waive any right of subrogation against each Additional Insured. The Tenant shall obtain and submit to the Landlord, prior to the earlier of (i) the entry onto the Leased Premises by such contractors or subcontractors or (ii) commencement of the work or services, certificates of insurance evidencing compliance with the requirements of this section.

15 Casualty Damage to Building or Leased Premises.

15.1 In the event of any damage to the Building or any portion thereof by fire or other casualty, with the result that the Leased Premises are rendered unusable, in whole or in part, or not reasonably accessible to and from the Building’s Common Facilities, within thirty (30) business days of the occurrence of the casualty the Landlord shall determine and give notice of its determination to the Tenant whether, due to the extent of damage and the Landlord’s reasonable

analysis of the economic feasibility of rebuilding or restoring, the Landlord intends not to rebuild or restore the Building or, if the Landlord shall not have made that determination, the Landlord’s reasonable opinion of the period of time required to restore the Building and the Leased Premises to their condition immediately prior to the occurrence of the respective casualty (exclusive of any improvements constructed, installed or added in the Leased Premises as contemplated by sections 5 or 12 of this Agreement).

15.1.1 If the Landlord gives timely notice of its determination that it does not intend to rebuild or restore, due to the extent of damage and the Landlord’s reasonable analysis of the economic feasibility of rebuilding or restoring, then this Agreement and the Term shall terminate effective as of the date of the subject casualty with respect to those portions of the Leased Premises rendered unusable by the subject casualty and as of the date of the Tenant’s surrender with respect to those portions of the Leased Premises which were not rendered unusable by the subject casualty.

15.1.2 If, in the Landlord’s reasonable opinion, the restoration contemplated by subsection 15.1 of this Agreement will take more than two hundred forty (240) days (inclusive of a reasonable period for adjustment of the Landlord’s insurance claim, but exclusive of any period for resort to a formal dispute resolution forum with the insurer), then either the Landlord or the Tenant may elect to terminate the Term and this Agreement (effective as of the date of the subject casualty with respect to those portions of the Leased Premises rendered unusable by the subject casualty and as of the date of the Tenant’s giving notice with respect to those portions of the Leased Premises which were not rendered unusable by the subject casualty) by timely notice of its election to the other. Notice of the Landlord’s election to terminate, if any, shall be given to the Tenant within the thirty (30) business day period contemplated by subsection 15.1 of this Agreement. If the Landlord shall not timely elect to terminate the Term and this Agreement, notice of the Tenant’s election to terminate, if any, shall be given to the Landlord within the thirty (30) day period immediately succeeding the Landlord’s giving notice to the Tenant of the Landlord’s estimated period to rebuild or restore.

15.1.3 If (a) in the Landlord’s reasonable opinion, the restoration contemplated by subsection 15.1 of this Agreement will take more than two hundred forty (240) days (inclusive of a reasonable period for adjustment of the Landlord’s insurance claim, but exclusive of any period for resort to a formal dispute resolution forum with the insurer) and neither the Landlord nor the Tenant shall have timely exercised their respective rights to terminate contemplated by subsection 15.1.2 of this Agreement or (b) in the Landlord’s reasonable opinion, the restoration contemplated by subsection 15.1 of this Agreement will take two hundred forty (240) days or less (inclusive of a reasonable period for adjustment of the Landlord’s insurance claim, but exclusive of any period for resort to a formal dispute resolution forum with the insurer), then this Agreement shall remain in effect and the Landlord shall restore the Building and the Leased Premises as contemplated by subsection 15.1 of this Agreement to the extent the Landlord shall have received (and no mortgagee of the Property or the Building shall have received) proceeds of any property, casualty or liability insurance on the damaged portions, causing the restoration to proceed diligently and expediently. Under the circumstances contemplated by clause (b) of this subsection 15.1.3, if the Landlord shall not have timely restored the Building and the Leased Premises as contemplated by subsection 15.1 of this Agreement to the extent the Landlord shall have received proceeds of any property or liability insurance on the damaged portions, the Term shall terminate upon the expiration of ninety (90) additional days (without the Landlord’s completion of its restoration obligation in the interim)

after the Tenant shall have given prompt notice that the Landlord has not completed its restoration obligations on a timely basis and that the Tenant desires termination of the Term (which termination shall be effective as of the date of the subject casualty with respect to those portions of the Leased Premises rendered unusable by the subject casualty and as of the date of the Tenant’s giving notice with respect to those portions of the Leased Premises which were not rendered unusable by the subject casualty).

15.2 Under the circumstances contemplated by subsection 15.1 of this Agreement, Rent shall xxxxx from the date of the casualty until such time as the Building and the Leased Premises are again restored by the Landlord as contemplated by subsection 15.1 of this Agreement by the amount which bears the same proportion to the Rent otherwise payable during such period as the gross rentable floor space of the Leased Premises which are rendered unusable or not reasonably accessible to and from the Common Facilities of the Building bears to the gross rentable floor space of the Leased Premises.

15.3 The restoration of the improvements constructed or installed in the Leased Premises as contemplated by sections 5 or 12 of this Agreement shall be the Tenant’s responsibility. The Tenant shall make reasonable, good faith efforts to integrate the restoration which is its responsibility with the restoration which is the Landlord’s responsibility. To the extent such integration is not feasible, the Tenant shall be allowed an additional, reasonable interval to complete its work, not to exceed thirty (30) days after the completion of the Landlord’s restoration work, and Rent shall continue to xxxxx until the earlier of (i) the expiration of such additional interval or (ii) the completion of the Tenant’s work, to the same extent contemplated by subsection 15.2. The Landlord shall cooperate with the Tenant to integrate the restoration of such improvements during the reconstruction period.

15.4 In the event either the Landlord shall make any election to cancel contemplated by subsection 15.1.1 of this Agreement or either the Landlord or the Tenant shall make any election to cancel contemplated by subsection 15.1.2 of this Agreement, then the Landlord may proceed with restoration (or non-restoration) in any manner it chooses, without any liability to the Tenant.

15.5 The Tenant shall promptly advise the Landlord by the quickest means of communication of the occurrence of any casualty damage to the Building or the Leased Premises of which the Tenant becomes aware.

16 Condemnation.

16.1.1 all or substantially all the Property or the Leased Premises is taken during the Term for at least the balance of the Term;

16.1.2 less than substantially all the Property, the Building or the Common Facilities (but none of the Leased Premises) is taken during the Term for at least the balance of the Term, but the Landlord reasonably promptly determines in good faith that it is not economically feasible for the Landlord to make any necessary alterations and continue to operate the portions not so taken, as they may be altered, as a first class Building and facility in the vicinity for the balance of the Term;

16.1.3 less than substantially all the Leased Premises is taken during the Term for at least the balance of the Term, but the Tenant reasonably promptly determines in good faith that it cannot continue to use and enjoy the portions not so taken for the conduct of its business in the ordinary course during the balance of the Term; or

Under the circumstances contemplated by subsection 16.1.2 of this Agreement the Landlord, and under the circumstances contemplated by subsection 16.1.3 of this Agreement the Tenant, respectively, may elect to terminate the Term by notice to the other given within thirty (30) days after, and effective as of, the later of the date (i) that the condemnor acquires title to the portions taken or (ii) that possession of the portions taken is required to be delivered or surrendered to the condemning authority.

16.4 Under any of the circumstances contemplated by this section 16 of the Agreement, the Tenant hereby waives any claim against the Landlord, the condemning authority for anything of value, tangible or intangible, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the putative value of any leasehold interest or the loss of the use of same, except for any right the Tenant might have to make a claim, independent of, and without reference to or having any effect on, any claim, award or settlement of the Landlord, against the condemning authority regarding the value of the Tenant’s installed trade fixtures and other installed equipment which are not removable from the Leased Premises or for ordinary and necessary moving and relocation expenses occasioned by the taking.

23.1.4 to be awarded specific performance, temporary restraints and preliminary and permanent injunctive relief regarding Events of Default where the Landlord’s rights and remedies at law may be inadequate, without the necessity of proving actual damages or the inadequacy of the rights and remedies at law;

23.1.5 to receive all expenses incurred in securing, preserving, maintaining and operating the Leased Premises during any period of vacancy, in making repairs to the Leased Premises, in preparing the Leased Premises for re-leasing and in re-leasing the Leased Premises including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any brokerage commissions;

23.1.6 to receive all legal expenses, including without limiting the generality of the foregoing, attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with pursuing any of the Landlord’s rights and remedies, including indemnification rights and remedies;

23.1.7 if the Landlord, in its sole discretion, elects to perform any obligation of the Tenant under this Agreement (other than the obligation to pay Rent) which the Tenant has not timely performed, to receive all expenses incurred in so doing;

23.1.8 to elect to pursue any legal or equitable right and remedy available to the Landlord under this Agreement or otherwise; and

23.1.9 to elect any combination, or any sequential combination of any of the rights and remedies set forth in subsection 23.1 of this Agreement.

23.2 In the event the Landlord elects the right and remedy set forth in subsection 23.1.1 of this Agreement, Termination Damages shall be equal to the amount which, at the time of actual payment thereof to the Landlord, is the sum of:

23.2.1 all accrued but unpaid Rent;

23.2.2 the present value (calculated using the most recently available (at the time of calculation) published weekly average yield on United States Treasury securities having maturities comparable to the balance of the then remaining Term) of the sum of all payments of Rent remaining due (at the time of calculation) until the date the Term would have expired (had there been no election to terminate it earlier) less the present value (similarly calculated) of all payments of rent to be received through the end of the Term (had there been no election to terminate it earlier) from a lessee, if any, of the Leased Premises at the time of calculation (and it shall be assumed for purposes of such calculations that (i) the amount of future Additional Rent due per year under this Agreement will be equal to the average Additional Rent per month due during the twelve (12) full calendar months immediately preceding the date of any such calculation, increasing annually at a rate of eight (8%) percent compounded, (ii) if any calculation is made before the first anniversary of the end of the No Pass Through Period, the average Additional Rent due for any month after the end of the No Pass Through Period will be equal to nine (9%) percent of the sum of the Base Year Operating Expenses, Base Year Taxes, Annual Amortized Capital Expenditures and Tenant Electric Charges (considered on an annual basis), (iii) if any calculation is made before the beginning of the Base Year, the sum of Base Year Taxes and Base Year Operational Expenses shall be assumed to be $5.00 per gross rentable square foot and (iv) if any calculation is made before the end of the Base Year, Base Year Taxes and Base Year Operational Expenses may be extrapolated based on the year to date experience of the Landlord);

23.2.3 the Landlord’s reasonably estimated cost of demolishing any leasehold improvements to the Leased Premises; and

23.2.4 that amount, which as of the occurrence of the Event of Default, bears the same ratio to the costs, if any, incurred by the Landlord (and not paid by the Tenant) in building out the Leased Premises in accordance with section 5 of this Agreement as the number of months remaining in the Term (immediately before the occurrence of the Event of Default) bears to the number of months in the entire Term (immediately before the occurrence of the Event of Default).

23.3 In the event the Landlord elects the right and remedy set forth in subsection 23.1.2 of this Agreement, Re-Leasing Damages shall be equal to the Rent less any rent actually and timely received by the Landlord from any lessee of the Leased Premises or any portion thereof, payable at the respective times that Rent is payable under the Agreement plus the cost, if any, to the Landlord of building out or otherwise preparing the Leased Premises for, and leasing the Leased Premises to, any such lessee.

23.4 In the event the Landlord elects the right and remedy set forth in subsection 23.1.3 of this Agreement, Holdover Damages shall mean damages at the rate per month or part thereof equal to the greater of: (a) one and one-half times one-twelfth (1/12) of the then Market Rental Rate plus all Additional Rent as set forth in this Agreement or (b) double the average amount of all payments of Rent due under this Agreement during each of the last twelve (12) full calendar months prior to the Landlord’s so electing or, in the event the Term shall have terminated by expiration under subsection 24.1.1 of this Agreement, the last full twelve (12) calendar months of the Term, in either case payable in full on the first day of each holdover month or part thereof. The Tenant’s obligations under this subsection 23.4 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement.

23.5 In connection with any summary proceeding to dispossess and remove the Tenant from the Leased Premises under subsection 23.1.3 of this Agreement, the Tenant hereby waives:

23.5.1 any notices for delivery of possession thereof, of termination, of demand for removal therefrom, of the cause therefor, to cease, to quit and all other notices that might otherwise be required pursuant to 2A N.J.S.A. 18-53 et seq.;

23.5.2 any right the Tenant might otherwise have to cause a termination of the action or proceeding by paying to the Landlord or into court or otherwise any Rent in arrears;

23.5.3 any right the Tenant might otherwise have to a period of waiting between issuance of any warrant in execution of any judgment for possession obtained by the Landlord and the execution thereof;

23.5.4 any right the Tenant might otherwise have to transfer or remove such proceeding from the court (or the particular division or part of the court) or other forum in which it shall have been instituted by the Landlord to another court, division or part;

23.5.5 any right the Tenant might otherwise have to redeem the Tenant’s former leasehold interest between the entry of any judgment and the execution of any warrant issued in connection therewith by paying to the Landlord or into Court or otherwise any Rent in arrears; and

23.5.6 any right the Tenant might otherwise have to appeal any judgment awarding possession of the Leased Premises to the Landlord.

23.6 The enumeration of rights and remedies in this section 23 of the Agreement is not intended to be exhaustive or exclusive of any rights and remedies which might otherwise be available to the Landlord, or to force an election of one or more rights and remedies to the exclusion of others, concurrently, consecutively or sequentially. On the contrary, each right and remedy enumerated in this section 23 of the Agreement is intended to be cumulative with each other right and remedy enumerated in this section 23 of the Agreement and with each other right and remedy that might otherwise be available to the Landlord; and the selection of one or more of such rights and remedies at any time shall not be deemed to prevent resort to one or more others of such rights and remedies at the same time or a subsequent time, even with regard to the same occurrence sought to be remedied.

23.7 The Landlord shall have no duty to mitigate damages; provided, however, the Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to re-let the Leased Premises.

24 Termination of the Term.

24.1 The Term shall terminate upon the earliest of the following events to occur:

24.1.1 expiration of the Term;

24.1.2 in connection with a transaction contemplated by section 16 of this Agreement and under the circumstances contemplated by subsection 16.2 of this Agreement, the effective date of termination of the Term as set forth in subsection 16.2;

24.1.3 upon the respective effective dates of termination set forth in the various subsections (whichever may be applicable) of subsection 15.1 of this Agreement providing for termination of the Term under various circumstances;

24.1.4 the effective date of any election by the Landlord under subsection 17.3.3 of this Agreement in response to the Tenant’s notice of the Tenant’s desire to assign this Agreement or to sublet all or a portion of the Leased Premises; or

24.1.5 the effective date of any election by the Landlord to terminate the Term under subsection 23.1.1 of this Agreement.

24.2 No termination of the Term shall have the effect of releasing the Tenant from any obligation or liability theretofore or thereby incurred and, until the Tenant shall have surrendered the Leased Premises in accordance with section 21 of this Agreement, from any obligation or liability thereafter incurred.

24.3 Any items of Tenant’s Property (except money, securities and like valuables) which remain in the Leased Premises after the expiration or earlier termination of the Term may, at the option of the Landlord, be deemed to have been abandoned and in such case may either be retained by the Landlord as its property or may be disposed of without accountability, at the Tenant’s expense, in such manner as the Landlord may see fit.

25 Mortgage and Underlying Lease Priority. This Agreement and the estate, interest and rights hereby created for the benefit of the Tenant are, and shall always be, subordinate to any mortgage (other than a mortgage created by the Tenant or a sale, transfer or other disposition by the Tenant in the nature of a security interest in violation of subsections 17.1.4 and 22.5, respectively, of this Agreement) already or afterwards placed on the Carnegie Center Complex, the Property, the Common Facilities, the Building or any estate or interest therein, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any new mortgage or any mortgage extension, renewal, modification, consolidation, replacement, supplement or substitution. This Agreement and the estate, interest and rights hereby created for the benefit of the Tenant are, and shall always be, subordinate to any ground lease already or afterwards made with regard to the Carnegie Center Complex, the Property, the Common Facilities, the Building or any estate or interest therein, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any new ground lease or any ground lease extension, renewal, modification, consolidation, replacement, supplement or substitution. The provisions of this section 25 shall be self-effecting; and no further instrument shall be necessary to effect any such subordination. Nevertheless, the Tenant hereby consents that any mortgagee or mortgagee’s successor in interest may, at any time and from time to time, by notice to the Tenant, subordinate its mortgage to the estate and interest created by this Agreement; and upon the giving of such notice, the subject mortgage shall be deemed subordinate to the estate and interest created by this Agreement regardless of the respective times of execution or delivery of either or of recording the subject mortgage.

26 Transfer by Landlord.

26.1 The Landlord shall have the right at any time and from time to time to sell, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of the Carnegie Center Complex, the Property, the Common Facilities or the Building or any of the Landlord’s interests therein, or to assign this Agreement or any of the Landlord’s rights thereunder.

26.2 Upon giving notice of the occurrence of any transaction contemplated by subsection 26.1 of this Agreement, the Landlord shall thereby be relieved of any obligation that might otherwise exist under this Agreement with respect to periods subsequent to the effective date of any such transaction If, in connection with any transaction contemplated by subsection 26.1 of this Agreement the Landlord transfers any Security Deposit of the Tenant and gives notice of that fact to the Tenant, the Landlord shall thereby be relieved of any further obligation to the Tenant with regard to any such Security Deposit provided that the successor landlord assumes obligation for the Security Deposit in writing; and the Tenant shall look solely to the transferee with respect to any such Security Deposit.

26.3 In the event of the occurrence of any transaction contemplated by subsection 26.1 of this Agreement the Tenant, upon written request therefor from the transferee, shall attorn to and become the tenant of such transferee upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

26.4 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary that may be set forth in subsections 26.1, 26.2 and 26.3 of this Agreement, in the event any mortgage contemplated by section 25 of this Agreement is enforced by the respective mortgagee pursuant to remedies provided in the mortgage or otherwise provided by law or equity and any person succeeds to the interest of the Landlord as a result of, or in connection with, any such enforcement, the Tenant shall, upon the request of such successor in interest, automatically attorn to and become the Tenant of such successor in interest without any change in the terms or provisions of this Agreement, except that such successor in interest shall not be bound by: (a) any payment of Basic Rent or Additional Rent (exclusive of prepayments in the nature of a Security Deposit) for more than one month in advance or (b) any amendment or other modification of this Agreement which was made without the consent of such mortgagee or such successor in interest; and, upon the request of such successor in interest, the Tenant shall execute, acknowledge and deliver any instrument(s) confirming such attornment.

26.5 If this Agreement and the estate, interest and rights hereby created for the benefit of the Tenant are ever subject and subordinate to any ground lease contemplated by section 25 of this Agreement:

26.5.1 upon the expiration or earlier termination of the term of any such ground lease before the termination of the Term under this Agreement, the Tenant shall attorn to, and become the Tenant of, the lessor under any such ground lease and recognize such lessor as the Landlord under this Agreement for the balance of the Term; and

26.5.2 such expiration or earlier termination of the term of any such ground lease shall have no effect on the Term under this Agreement.

27 Indemnification.

27.1 To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Tenant waives any right to contribution against the Landlord Parties and agrees to indemnify and save harmless the Landlord Parties from and against all claims of whatever nature by a third party arising from or claimed to have arisen from (i) any act, omission or negligence of the Tenant Parties; (ii) any accident, injury or damage whatsoever caused to any person, or to the property of any person, occurring in or about the Leased Premises from the earlier of (a) the date on which any Tenant Party first enters the Leased Premises for any reason or (b) the Commencement Date, and thereafter throughout and until the end of the Term, and after the end of the Term for so long after the end of the Term as any of the Tenant’s Property remains in the Leased Premises, or the Tenant or anyone acting by, through or under the Tenant may use, be in occupancy any part of, or have access to the Leased Premises or any portion thereof; (iii) any accident, injury or damage whatsoever occurring outside the Leased Premises but within the Building, within the Common Facilities, on the Property or within the Carnegie Center Complex, where such accident, injury or damage results, or is claimed to have resulted, from any act, omission or negligence on the part of any of the Tenant Parties; or (iv) any breach of this Agreement by the Tenant. The Tenant shall pay such indemnified amounts as they are incurred by the Landlord Parties. This indemnification shall not be construed to deny or reduce any other rights or obligations of indemnity that a Landlord Party may have under this Agreement. The indemnification rights of the Landlord Parties provided in this Agreement are their exclusive indemnification rights with respect to this Agreement. The Landlord Parties waive any additional rights to indemnification they may have against the Tenant Parties with respect to this Agreement under common law.

27.2 In the event that the Tenant breaches any of its indemnity obligations hereunder: (i) the Tenant shall pay to the Landlord Parties all liabilities, loss, cost, or expense (including reasonable attorney’s fees) incurred as a result of said breach, and the reasonable value of time expended by the Landlord Parties as a result of said breach; and (ii) the Landlord Parties may deduct and offset from any amounts due to the Tenant under this Agreement any amounts owed by the Tenant pursuant to this section 27.

27.3 The indemnification obligations under this section 27 shall not be limited in any way by any limitation on the amount or type of damages, compensation or benefits payable by or for the Tenant or any subtenant or other occupant of the Leased Premises under workers’ compensation acts, disability benefit acts, or other employee benefit acts. The Tenant waives any immunity from or limitation on its indemnity or contribution liability to the Landlord Parties based upon such acts.

27.4 The Tenant shall require its subtenants and other occupants of the Leased Premises to provide similar indemnities to the Landlord Parties in a form reasonably acceptable to the Landlord.

27.5 The terms of this section 27 shall survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement.

27.6 The foregoing indemnity and hold harmless agreement shall include indemnity for all costs, expenses and liabilities (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by the Landlord Parties in connection with any such claim or any action or proceeding brought thereon, and the defense thereof. In addition, in the event that any action or proceeding

shall be brought against one or more Landlord Parties by reason of any such claim, the Tenant, upon request from the Landlord Party, shall resist and defend such action or proceeding on behalf of the Landlord Party by counsel appointed by the Tenant’s insurer (if such claim is covered by insurance without reservation) or otherwise by counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Landlord Party. The Landlord Parties shall not be bound by any compromise or settlement of any such claim, action or proceeding without the prior written consent of such Landlord Parties.

27.7 The Tenant agrees to use and occupy the Leased Premises, and to use such other portions of the Building, the Property and the Carnegie Center Complex as the Tenant is given the right to use by this Agreement, at the Tenant’s own risk. Except to the extent caused by the Landlord Parties’ negligence or willful misconduct, the Landlord Parties shall not be liable to the Tenant Parties for any damage, injury, loss, compensation, or claim (including, but not limited to, claims for the interruption of or loss to a Tenant Party’s business) based on, arising out of or resulting from any cause whatsoever, including, but not limited to, repairs to any portion of the Leased Premises, the Building, the Property or the Carnegie Center Complex, any fire, robbery, theft, mysterious disappearance, or any other crime or casualty, the actions of any tenants of Other Leased Premises or of any other person or persons, or any leakage in any part or portion of the Leased Premises, the Common Facilities, the Building or the Property, or from water, rain or snow that may leak into, or flow from any part of the Leased Premises, the Common Facilities, the Building or the Property, or from drains, pipes or plumbing fixtures in the Building or on the Property. Any goods, property or personal effects stored or placed in or about the Leased Premises shall be at the sole risk of the Tenant Party, and, except to the extent caused by the Landlord Parties’ negligence or willful misconduct, neither the Landlord Parties nor their insurers shall in any manner be held responsible therefor. Except to the extent caused by the Landlord Parties’ negligence or willful misconduct, the Landlord Parties shall not be responsible or liable to a Tenant Party, or to those claiming by, through or under a Tenant Party, for any loss or damage that may be occasioned by or through the acts or omissions of persons occupying adjoining premises or any part of the premises adjacent to or connecting with the Leased Premises or any part of the Building or otherwise. The provisions of this section shall be applicable to the fullest extent permitted by law, and until the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, and during such further period as any of the Tenant’s Property remains in the Leased Premises, or the Tenant or anyone acting by, through or under the Tenant may use, or be in occupancy of any part of, or have access to the Leased Premises or of the Building.

27.8 Subject to the limitations set forth in subsections 14.12, 27.7 and 28.3 of this Agreement, and to the extent not resulting from any intentional act, omission, negligence or willful misconduct of the Tenant or its contractors, licensees, invitees, agents, servants or employees, the Landlord agrees to indemnify and save harmless the Tenant from and against any claim by a third party arising from any injury to any person occurring in the Leased Premises, in the Building, on the Property or in the Carnegie Center Complex after the date that possession of the Leased Premises is first delivered to Tenant and until the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, to the extent such injury results from the negligence or willful misconduct of the Landlord or the Landlord’s employees, or from any breach or default by the Landlord in the performance or observance of its covenants or obligations under this Agreement; provided, however, that in no event shall the aforesaid indemnity render the Landlord responsible or liable for any loss or damage to fixtures, personal property or other property of the Tenant, and the Landlord shall in no event be liable for any of Tenant’s indirect or consequential damages. The Tenant shall provide notice

of any such third party claim to the Landlord as soon as practicable. The Landlord shall have the right, but not the duty, to defend the claim. The provisions of this subsection 27.8 shall not be applicable to (i) the holder of any mortgage now or hereafter on the Property or the Building (whether or not such holder shall be a mortgagee in possession of or shall have exercised any rights under a conditional, collateral or other assignment of leases and/or rents respecting the Property or the Building), or (ii) any person acquiring title as a result of, or subsequent to, a foreclosure of any such mortgage or a deed in lieu of foreclosure, except to the extent of liability insurance maintained by either of the foregoing.

28 Parties’ Liability.

28.1 None of the following occurrences shall constitute a breach of this Agreement by the Landlord, a termination of the Term, an active or constructive eviction or an occurrence requiring an abatement of Rent:

28.1.1 the inability of the Landlord to provide any utility or service to be provided by the Landlord, as described in section 8 of this Agreement which is due to causes beyond the Landlord’s control, or to necessary or advisable improvements, maintenance, repairs or emergency, so long as the Landlord uses reasonable efforts and diligence under the circumstances to restore the interrupted service or utility;

28.1.2 any improvement, modification, alteration or other change made to the Carnegie Center Complex, the Property, the Building or the Common Facilities by the Landlord consistently with the Landlord’s obligations set forth in subsection 13.2 of this Agreement; and

28.2 Except for the commencement, duration or termination of the Term (other than under the circumstances contemplated by subsection 15.1 of this Agreement), the Tenant’s obligation to make timely payments of Rent, the Tenant’s obligation to maintain certain insurance coverage in effect, the Tenant’s failure to perform any of its other obligations under this Agreement if such failure has caused loss or damage that cannot promptly be cured by subsequent act of the Tenant and the period within which any type of option or optional right exercisable by the Tenant must be exercised, any period of time during which the Landlord or the Tenant is prevented from performing any of its respective obligations under this Agreement because of fire, any other casualty or catastrophe, strikes, lockouts, civil commotion, acts of God or the public enemy, governmental prohibitions or preemptions, embargoes or inability to obtain labor or material due to shortage, governmental regulation or prohibition or any other cause beyond the Landlord’s control, shall be added to the time when such performance is otherwise required under this Agreement.

28.3 In the event the Landlord is an individual, partnership, joint venture, association or a participant in a joint tenancy or tenancy in common, the Landlord, the partners, venturers, members and joint owners shall not have any personal liability or obligation under or in connection with this Agreement or the Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Leased Premises; but recourse shall be limited exclusively to the Landlord’s interest in the Building. In no event shall any officer, director, member, shareholder, partner, employee or agent ever be personally liable for any obligation of the Tenant under this Lease.

28.4 If, at any time during the Term, the payment or collection of any Rent otherwise due under this Agreement shall be limited, frozen or otherwise subjected to a moratorium by applicable law, and such limitation, freeze or other moratorium shall subsequently be lifted, whether before or after the termination of the Term, such aggregate amount of Rent as shall not have been paid or collected during the Term on account of any such limitation, freeze or other moratorium, shall thereupon be due and payable at once. There shall be added to the maximum period of any otherwise applicable statute of limitation the entire period during which any such limitation, freeze or other moratorium shall have been in effect.

28.5 If this Agreement is executed by more than one person as the Tenant, their liability under this Agreement and in connection with the use and occupancy of the Leased Premises shall be joint and several.

28.6 In the event any rate of interest, or other charge in the nature of interest, calculated as set forth in this Agreement would lead to the imposition of a rate of interest in excess of the maximum rate permitted by applicable usury law, only the maximum rate permitted shall be charged and collected.

28.7 The rule of construction that any ambiguities that may be contained in any contract shall be construed against the party drafting the contract shall be inapplicable in construing this Agreement.

29 Security Deposit.

29.1 [The Tenant shall pay to the Landlord the sum of $6,409.67 as a security deposit to be held by the Landlord as security for the Tenant’s performance of all the Tenant’s obligations under this Agreement, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged by the Landlord. The Landlord may commingle the Security Deposit with its general funds. Any interest earned on the Security Deposit shall belong to the Landlord. The Tenant shall not encumber the Security Deposit. The Landlord, in its sole discretion, may apply the Security Deposit to cure any Event of Default under this Agreement. If any such application is made, upon notice by the Landlord to the Tenant, the Tenant shall promptly replace the amount so applied. If there has been no Event of Default, within thirty (30) days after termination of the Term the Landlord shall return the entire balance of the Security Deposit to the Tenant. The Tenant will not look to any foreclosing mortgagee of the Property, the Building, the Common Facilities or any interest therein for such return of the balance of the Security Deposit, unless the mortgagee has expressly assumed the Landlord’s obligations under this Agreement or has actually received the balance of the Security Deposit.

33 Appraisal, Waiver of Jury Trial and Arbitration.

33.1 If the Landlord and the Tenant are unable, at any time of reference, to agree on the Market Rental Rate whenever a determination of the Market Rental Rate is required under this Agreement (other than in the context of Holdover Damages), within 15 days after this appraisal procedure is invoked by either party, each shall appoint one qualified appraiser of its choice which two appraisers shall then together choose a third qualified appraiser within 10 days after their appointment. Within 20 days after the appointment of the third appraiser, each of the three appraisers shall submit his or her opinion of the Market Rental Rate, as defined in, and at the time specified by, the definition of Market Rental Rate set forth in Exhibit E attached hereto, by notice to the Landlord and the Tenant. The Market Rental Rate shall be the arithmetic mean of the two closest appraisers’ opinions, unless the absolute difference between the middle opinion and the highest and lowest opinion, respectively, is equal, in which case the middle opinion shall be the Market Rental Rate. Any determination of the Market Rental Rate in accordance with this subsection 33.1 of the Agreement shall be final and binding on, and not appealable by, the Landlord and the Tenant with respect to the respective instance in which the appraisal procedure was invoked. An appraiser shall be qualified, as that phrase is used in this subsection 33.1 of the Agreement, if he is independent, a member in good standing of the Appraisal Institute (successor to the American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers), has substantial prior experience appraising the market rental values of leased offices in office buildings located in central New Jersey and is not named in subsection 30.1 of this Agreement. The expense of the third appraiser shall be borne equally by the Landlord and the Tenant; otherwise each party shall bear the expense of its respective appraiser.

33.2 The parties hereby waive any right they might otherwise have to a trial by jury in connection with any dispute arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the use and occupancy of the Leased Premises; and, except as otherwise set forth in subsection 33.1 of this Agreement, they hereby consent to arbitration of any such dispute in Princeton, New Jersey, in accordance with the rules for commercial arbitration of the American Arbitration Association or successor organization, except that the Landlord, in its sole discretion, may, with respect to any dispute involving either (i) the Landlord’s right to re-enter and re-take possession of the Leased Premises or (ii) the determination of money damages following the occurrence of an Event of Default under this Agreement, elect to pursue any of or all its rights in any court of competent jurisdiction. Judgment upon any arbitration award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

34 Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement, including, but not limited to, any waiver of contribution or claims, indemnity obligation, or limitation of liability or of damages, or the application of any such term or provision to any person or circumstance shall to any extent be conclusively determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, invalid or otherwise unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement, or the application of such term or provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each term and provision of this Agreement shall be valid and be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.

35 Notices. All notices contemplated by, permitted or required by this Agreement shall be in writing. All notices required by this Agreement shall be personally delivered or forwarded by certified mail--return receipt requested, or by a nationally recognized overnight delivery service provided confirmation can be readily obtained of delivery on the next business day, addressed to the intended party at its address first set forth above (adding, in the case of notices to the Landlord after the Commencement Date, “Attention: Lease Administration”) or, in the case of notices to the Tenant during the Term or any other period during which the Tenant shall be in possession of the Leased Premises, at the Leased Premises. Either party may from time to time change the address prescribed in this Agreement for notices to it by notice to the other. All notices required under this Agreement shall be deemed given upon their deposit, properly addressed and postage prepaid, in a postal depository or upon personal delivery to the intended party or the next business day after delivery to an overnight courier as described above provided confirmation of delivery on the next business day is obtained, in either case, regardless of whether delivery shall be refused.

36 Captions. Captions have been inserted at the beginning of each section of this Agreement for convenience of reference only and such captions shall not affect the construction or interpretation of any such section of this Agreement.

37 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in more than one counterpart, each of which shall constitute an original of this Agreement but all of which, taken together, shall constitute one and the same Agreement.

38 Applicable Law. This Agreement and the obligations of the parties hereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New Jersey.

39 Exclusive Benefit. Except as may be otherwise specifically set forth in this Agreement, this Agreement is made exclusively for the benefit of the parties hereto and their permitted assignees and no one else shall be entitled to any right, remedy or claim by reason of any provision of this Agreement.

40 Successors. This Agreement shall be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

41 Amendments. This Agreement contains the entire agreement of the parties hereto, subsumes all prior discussions and negotiations and, except as may otherwise be specifically set forth in this Agreement, this Agreement may not be amended or otherwise modified except by a writing signed by all the parties to this Agreement.

42 Waiver. Except as may otherwise be specifically set forth in this Agreement, the failure of any party at any time or times to require performance of any provision of this Agreement shall in no manner affect the right at a later time to enforce the same. No waiver by any party of any condition, or of the breach of any term, covenant, representation or warranty set forth in this Agreement, whether by conduct or otherwise, in any one or more instances shall be deemed to be or construed as a further or continuing waiver of any such condition or breach, or as a waiver of any other condition or of the breach of any other term, covenant, representation or warranty set forth in this Agreement. The Landlord’s acceptance of, or endorsement on, any partial payment of Rent or any late payment of Rent from the Tenant shall not operate as a waiver of the Landlord’s right to the balance of the Rent due on a timely basis regardless of any writing to the contrary on, or accompanying, the Tenant’s partial payment or the Landlord’s putative acquiescence therein.

43 Course of Performance. No course of dealing or performance by the parties, or any of them, shall be admissible for the purpose of obtaining an interpretation or construction of this Agreement at variance with the express language of the Agreement itself.

44 Landlord’s Concessions. None.

45 Electronic Signatures. The parties acknowledge and agree that this Agreement may be executed by electronic signature, which shall be considered as an original signature for all purposes and shall have the same force and effect as an original signature.
