(a) Provided no Event of Default by Tenant has occurred under this Lease, Tenant shall have the right to install in the Premises, during the Move-In Period only, Tenant’s Cabling and other furniture, furnishings, inventory, equipment, or trade fixtures, subject to all applicable terms and conditions of this Lease. The Landlord will promptly inform Tenant of Landlord’s good faith determination of the projected Lease Commencement Date for the purposes of determining the commencement of the Move-In Period. Neither Tenant nor any Agent of Tenant shall enter the Premises during those times that Landlord determines such entry will unreasonably interfere with activities of Landlord or Landlord’s Agents, and, in such event, Landlord shall notify Tenant of specific times during which Tenant may make such entry. Any and all activity by Tenant or any Agent of Tenant prior to the Lease Commencement Date shall be coordinated with Landlord and its general contractor to ensure that such activity does not interfere with any other work. If Landlord determines that any such interference is occurring, then Landlord shall have the right to require the removal of the offending party from the Premises (with Tenant having no right to assert that the Lease Commencement Date or Tenant’s other obligations are affected thereby). During the Move-In Period, neither Tenant nor any of its Agents shall unreasonably delay or otherwise inhibit work being performed by Landlord or Landlord’s Agents. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary: (a) Landlord shall have no responsibility with respect to any items placed in the Premises by Tenant or any Agent prior to the Lease Commencement Date; and (b) all of the provisions of this Lease (including all insurance, indemnity and utility provisions (except, with respect to utility consumption during the Move-In Period, Tenant shall only be responsible for excess utilities or utilities used outside of Building Hours)) shall apply during the Move-In Period, except that during such period (i) Tenant shall not be obligated to pay Base Rent or Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Operating Charges and Real Estate Taxes and (ii) Landlord shall not be obligated to provide any utility, service or other item in excess of those customarily provided to or for the benefit of a premises in order for Landlord to perform its building standard initial improvement work thereto.
3.2 Promptly after the Lease Commencement Date is ascertained, Landlord and Tenant shall execute the certificate attached to this Lease as Exhibit “E”. Failure to execute said certificate shall not affect the commencement or expiration of the Lease Term.
3.3 (a) It is presently anticipated that the Premises will be delivered to Tenant on or about the Anticipated Delivery Date; provided, however, that if Landlord does not deliver possession of the Premises by such date, Landlord shall not have any liability whatsoever, and this Lease shall not be rendered void or voidable, as a result thereof.
(b) If the Lease Commencement Date does not occur on or before the April 16, 2013, then, provided no Event of Default has occurred, Landlord shall grant to Tenant, as its sole and exclusive remedy, a rent abatement equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the per diem Base Rent payable during the first Lease Year for each day during the period commencing on April 16th and continuing through the day before the Lease Commencement Date. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary, Tenant shall not be entitled to such a rent abatement with respect to any delays in the Lease Commencement Date that are caused by any of the factors or causes described in Section 25.20 hereof or any delay caused by Tenant or any Agent of Tenant (including those specified in Paragraph 6(b) of Exhibit “C”).
3.4 If the Lease Commencement Date does not occur on or before July 16, 2013, then, provided that no Event of Default exists under this Lease and except as otherwise provided below, Tenant shall have the right, as its sole and exclusive remedy (subject to Section 3.3(b) above), to terminate this Lease by delivering written notice of the exercise of such right to Landlord. Such right of termination may be exercised by Tenant only during the period commencing on July 16, 2013 and continuing through the tenth (10th) business day thereafter, and if such right is not exercised by Tenant by said tenth (10th) business day, such right shall thereafter lapse and be of no further force or effect. If this Lease is terminated pursuant to this subsection, then neither party shall have any further obligations or liability hereunder to the other party; provided, however, that Landlord shall promptly return the letter of credit and refund any advance rent previously deposited by Tenant with Landlord in accordance with the provisions of this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, the Outside Delivery Date shall be extended on a day-for-day basis for each day the Lease Commencement Date is delayed as a result of any of the factors or causes described in Section 25.20 hereof or any delay caused by Tenant or any Agent of Tenant (including those specified in Paragraph 6(b) of Exhibit “C”).

Table of Contents
4.2 Concurrently with Tenant’s execution of this Lease, Tenant shall pay an amount equal to one (1) monthly installment of the Base Rent payable during the first Lease Year, which amount shall be credited toward the monthly installment of Base Rent payable for the first (1st) full calendar month of the Lease Term following the Rent Commencement Date. If the Rent Commencement Date is not the first day of a month, then the Base Rent from the Rent Commencement Date until the first day of the following month shall be prorated on a per diem basis at the rate of one-thirtieth (1/30th) of the monthly installment of the Base Rent payable during the first Lease Year, and Tenant shall pay such prorated installment of the Base Rent on the Rent Commencement Date.
4.3 All sums payable by Tenant under this Lease shall be paid to Landlord in legal tender of the United States, without setoff, deduction or demand, except as otherwise provided herein, at the Landlord Payment Address, or to such other party or such other address as Landlord may designate in writing. Landlord’s acceptance of rent after it shall have become due and payable shall not excuse a delay upon any subsequent occasion or constitute a waiver of any of Landlord’s rights hereunder. If any sum payable by Tenant under this Lease is paid by check which is returned due to insufficient funds, stop payment order, or otherwise, then: (a) such event shall be treated as a failure to pay such sum when due; and (b) in addition to all other rights and remedies of Landlord hereunder, Landlord shall be entitled (i) to impose a returned check charge of Fifty Dollars ($50.00) to cover Landlord’s administrative expenses and overhead for processing, and (ii) to require that all future payments be remitted by wire transfer, money order, or cashier’s or certified check.
4.4 Landlord and Tenant agree that no portion of the Base Rent or other payment for the use or occupancy of the Premises is or shall be based in whole or in part on the net income or profits derived by the Tenant, any permitted assignee or sublessee of Tenant or any other person or entity from the Building or the Premises.
ARTICLE V
OPERATING CHARGES AND REAL ESTATE TAXES
5.1 (a) From and after the first (1st) anniversary of the Lease Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay as additional rent Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the amount by which Operating Charges for each calendar year falling entirely or partly within the Lease Term exceed the Operating Charges Base Amount.
(b) Notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary, if less than ninety-five percent (95%) of the Building is occupied during the Operating Charges Base Year or any Lease Year after the Operating Charges Base Year, then Operating Charges shall be computed for both the Operating Charges Base Year and any such Lease Year as though the Building had been ninety-five (95%) occupied during the Operating Charges Base Year and any such Lease Year; including, if any tenant is separately paying for (or does not require) electricity, janitorial or other utilities or services furnished to its premises, then Landlord shall include such amounts in its calculation of Operating Charges for such Lease Year and/or the Operating Charges Base Year, as applicable.
(c) Tenant shall make estimated monthly payments to Landlord on account of the amount by which Operating Charges that are expected to be incurred during each calendar year (or portion thereof) would exceed the Operating Charges Base Amount. On or prior to March 31st of each calendar year after the Lease Commencement Date, or as soon thereafter as is practicable, but in no event later than May 31st, Landlord shall submit a reasonably detailed written statement setting forth Landlord’s reasonable estimate of such excess and Tenant’s Proportionate Share thereof. Tenant shall pay to Landlord on the first day of each month following receipt of such statement, until Tenant’s receipt of the succeeding annual statement, an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of each such share (estimated on an annual basis without proration pursuant to Section 5.3). On or prior to March 31st of each calendar year after the Lease Commencement Date, or as soon thereafter as is practicable, but in no event later than May 31st, Landlord shall submit a Reconciliation Statement for Operating Charges. If such Reconciliation Statement indicates that the aggregate amount of such estimated payments exceeds Tenant’s actual liability, then Landlord shall credit the net overpayment toward Tenant’s next installment(s) of rent due under this Lease, or, if the Lease Term has expired or will expire before such credit can be fully applied, or if Tenant is not otherwise liable to Landlord for further payment, Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for the amount of such overpayment within thirty (30) days. If such statement indicates that Tenant’s actual liability exceeds the aggregate amount of such estimated payments, then Tenant shall pay the amount of such excess as additional rent.
5.2 (a) From and after the first (1st) anniversary of the Lease Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay as additional rent Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the amount by which Real Estate Taxes exceed the Real Estate Taxes Base Amount. Tenant shall not initiate or participate in any contest of Real Estate Taxes with the governmental entity assessing such tax without Landlord’s prior written consent. The Landlord hereby represents and warrants that, as of the date of this Lease, the Land and the Building are separately and independently assessed for Real Estate Tax purposes.

(b) Tenant shall make estimated monthly payments to Landlord on account of the amount by which Real Estate Taxes that are expected to be incurred during each calendar year would exceed the Real Estate Taxes Base Amount. On or prior to March 31st of each calendar year after the Lease Commencement Date, or as soon thereafter as is practicable, but in no event later than May 31st, Landlord shall submit a reasonably detailed written statement setting forth Landlord’s reasonable estimate of such amount and Tenant’s Proportionate Share thereof. Tenant shall pay to Landlord on the first day of each month following receipt of such statement, until Tenant’s receipt of the succeeding annual statement, an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of such share (estimated on an annual basis without proration pursuant to Section 5.3). On or prior to March 31st of each calendar year after the Lease Commencement Date, or as soon thereafter as is practicable, but in no event later than May 31st, Landlord shall submit a Reconciliation Statement for Real Estate Taxes showing (1) Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the amount by which Real Estate Taxes incurred during the preceding calendar year exceeded the Real Estate Taxes Base Amount, and (2) the aggregate amount of Tenant’s estimated payments made during such year. If such Reconciliation Statement indicates that the aggregate amount of such estimated payments exceeds Tenant’s actual liability, then Landlord shall credit the net overpayment toward Tenant’s next installment(s) of rent due under this Lease, or, if the Lease Term hereof has expired or will expire before such credit can be fully applied, of if Tenant is not otherwise liable for further payment, Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for the amount of such overpayment within thirty (30) days. If such statement indicates that Tenant’s actual liability exceeds the aggregate amount of such estimated payments, then Tenant shall pay the amount of such excess as additional rent.
5.3 If the Lease Term commences or expires on a day other than the first day or the last day of a calendar year, respectively, then Tenant’s liabilities pursuant to this Article V for such calendar year shall be apportioned by multiplying the respective amount of Tenant’s Proportionate Share thereof for the full calendar year by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days during such calendar year falling within the Lease Term, and the denominator of which is three hundred sixty-five (365).
5.4 For the protection of Tenant, Landlord shall maintain books of account which shall be open to Tenant and its representatives at all reasonable times so that Tenant can determine that such Operating Charges and Real Estate Taxes have, in fact, been paid or incurred. Tenant’s representatives shall mean only (a) Tenant’s employees or (b) a Certified Public Accounting firm, and neither Tenant’s employees nor any Certified Public Accounting firm shall be permitted to (1) perform such inspection and/or audit on a contingency basis, or (2) perform such an inspection and/or audit for any other tenant in the Building. At Landlord’s request, Tenant shall execute a confidentiality agreement reasonably acceptable to Landlord prior to any examination of Landlord’s books and records. In the event Tenant disputes any one or more of said charges, Tenant shall attempt to resolve such dispute with Landlord, provided that if such dispute shall not be satisfactorily settled between Landlord and Tenant, the dispute shall be referred by either party to an independent Certified Public Accountant to be mutually agreed upon, and if such an accountant cannot be agreed upon, The American Arbitration Association may be asked by either party to select an arbitrator, whose decision on the dispute will be final and binding upon both parties, who shall jointly share any cost of such arbitration. Pending resolution of said dispute the Tenant shall pay to Landlord the sum so billed by Landlord subject to its ultimate resolution as aforesaid. The cost of any such review of Landlord’s books of account shall be borne solely by the Tenant; provided however, if it is determined that the Landlord has overstated such Operating Charges and/or Real Estate Taxes by more than five percent (5%), the Landlord shall pay the reasonable out-of-pocket cost of such audit or review within thirty (30) days of Tenant’s request, which costs shall not exceed $2,000.00.
5.5 Once Landlord shall have finally determined said Operating Charges and Real Estate Taxes at the expiration of a Lease Year, then as to the item so established, Tenant shall only be entitled to dispute said charge as finally established for a period of six (6) months after such charge is finally established, and Lessee specifically waives any right to dispute any such charge at the expiration of said six (6) month period.
ARTICLE VI
USE OF PREMISES
6.1 Tenant shall use and occupy the Premises solely for any lawful general (non-medical and non-governmental) office purposes compatible with first class office buildings in the Building’s submarket, and for no other use or purpose. Tenant shall not use or occupy the Premises for any unlawful purpose, or in any manner that will violate the certificate of occupancy for the Premises or the Building, or that will constitute waste, nuisance or unreasonable annoyance to Landlord or any other tenant or user of the Building, or in any manner that will increase the number of parking spaces required for the Building or its full occupancy as required by law. Landlord shall comply with all Laws to the extent the same apply directly to the Building Structure and Systems and Common Areas as a whole. Tenant shall
-11-
Table of Contents
comply with all Laws concerning the use, occupancy and condition of the Premises and all machinery, equipment, furnishings, fixtures and improvements therein, all in a timely manner at Tenant’s sole expense. If any Law requires an occupancy or use permit or license for the Premises or the operation of the business conducted therein, then Tenant shall obtain and keep current such permit or license at Tenant’s expense and shall promptly deliver a copy thereof to Landlord. The Landlord hereby agrees to cooperate with the Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, to obtain any such occupancy or use permits or licenses for the Premises necessary for the lawful operation of the Tenant’s business. Use of the Premises is subject to all covenants, conditions and restrictions of record. Tenant shall not use any space in the Building or the Land for the sale of goods to the public at large or for the sale at auction of goods or property of any kind. Tenant shall not conduct any operations, sales, promotions, advertising or special events outside the Premises, in the Building or on the Land.
6.2 Tenant shall pay before delinquency any business, rent or other taxes or fees that are now or hereafter levied, assessed or imposed upon Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises, the conduct of Tenant’s business at the Premises, or Tenant’s equipment, fixtures, furnishings, inventory or personal property unless the Tenant is contesting the amount of such taxes or fees in accordance with applicable Laws. If any such tax or fee is enacted or altered so that such tax or fee is levied against Landlord or so that Landlord is responsible for collection or payment thereof, then Tenant shall pay as additional rent the amount of such tax or fee.
6.3 To the best of Landlord’s knowledge, as of the date of this Lease, the Premises do not contain any Hazardous Materials in violation of Environmental Laws. Tenant shall not allow, cause or permit any Hazardous Materials to be generated, used, treated, released, stored or disposed of in or about the Building or the Land, provided that Tenant may use and store normal and reasonable quantities of standard cleaning and office materials in the Premises as may be reasonably necessary for Tenant to conduct normal general office use operations in the Premises so long as such materials are properly, safely and lawfully stored and used by Tenant in compliance with all Laws. At the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, with respect to conditions existing on account of Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises or any action or inaction of Tenant or any Agent of Tenant (it being understood that the term “inaction” as used in this Section shall not impose upon Tenant any obligation to remove Hazardous Materials existing in the Premises as of or after the Lease Commencement Date which were introduced into the Premises by anyone other than Tenant or any Agent of Tenant, unless such condition is knowingly aggravated as a result of Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises), Tenant shall surrender the Premises to Landlord free of Hazardous Materials used by Tenant during its occupancy of the Premises and in compliance with all Environmental Laws. For purposes of clarity, Landlord is and shall remain solely responsible for the removal of any existing or non-Tenant introduced Hazardous Materials. Tenant shall: (i) give Landlord immediate verbal and follow-up written notice of any actual or threatened Environmental Default with respect to conditions existing on account of Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises or any action or inaction of Tenant or any Agent of Tenant, which Environmental Default Tenant shall cure in accordance with all Environmental Laws and upon written notice to the Landlord; and (ii) promptly deliver to Landlord copies of any notices or other items received from or submitted to any governmental or quasi-governmental agency, or any claim instituted or threatened by any third party, concerning the Premises, the occupancy or use thereof, or the existence or potential existence of Hazardous Materials therein. Upon any Environmental Default, in addition to all other rights available to Landlord under this Lease, at law or in equity, Landlord shall have the right but not the obligation to immediately enter the Premises, to supervise and approve any actions taken by Tenant to address the Environmental Default, and, if Tenant fails to immediately address same in accordance with this Lease, to perform, with respect to conditions existing on account of Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises or any action or inaction of Tenant or any Agent of Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, any lawful action necessary to address same.
ARTICLE VII
ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
7.1 Tenant shall not assign, transfer or otherwise encumber (collectively, “assign”) this Lease or all or any of Tenant’s rights hereunder or interest herein, or sublet or permit anyone to use or occupy (collectively, “sublet”) the Premises or any part thereof, without obtaining the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent may be withheld or granted in Landlord’s reasonable discretion (subject to the remainder of this Article VII). Notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary, provided no Event of Default exists under this Lease, and subject to Landlord’s rights and Tenant’s obligations pursuant to the terms, conditions and provisions of Sections 7.3, 7.4 and 7.5 below, Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay its consent to any proposed subletting of the entire or any portion of the Premises or assignment of the Lease in its entirety; provided, however, that Landlord shall respond to Tenant’s request (by approving or disapproving same) within twenty (20) days after receiving Tenant’s Sublease Request Notice. If Landlord denies consent to the proposed sublet or assignment, Landlord’s notice shall specify the reasons for Landlord’s disapproval. If Landlord fails to respond within such twenty (20) day period, Tenant may deliver a written notice to Landlord, demanding that Landlord either
-12-
Table of Contents
deny or grant consent to its request. If Landlord fails to respond within ten (10) business days after receipt of such written notice, Landlord shall be deemed to have approved the sublet or assignment, as the case may be. For purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, it shall be reasonable for Landlord to withhold its consent if, for example: (i) the proposed subtenant or assignee is engaged in a business, or the Premises will be used in a manner, that is inconsistent with the first-class image of the Building; or (ii) Landlord is not reasonably satisfied with the financial condition of the proposed subtenant or assignee; or (iii) the proposed use of the Premises is not in compliance with the terms, conditions and provisions of Article VI hereof, or is not compatible with the other uses within, and the terms of other leases with respect to, the Building; or (iv) such proposed sublease or assignment would cause the aggregate number of rentable square feet sublet or assigned under such sublease and all other subleases with respect to the Premises to exceed fifty percent (50%) of the total number of rentable square feet in the Premises as of the Lease Commencement Date; or (v) the initial Tenant does not remain fully liable as a primary obligor for the payment of all rent and other charges payable by Tenant under this Lease and for the performance of all other obligations of Tenant under this Lease; or (vi) the proposed subtenant or assignee is a governmental or quasi-governmental agency; or (vii) the holders of Mortgages encumbering the Building shall fail to consent (Landlord hereby agreeing to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such consent if Landlord approves such transaction); or (viii) the proposed subtenant or assignee is either (A) an existing tenant of the Building (or any parent, subsidiary or affiliate thereof) if Landlord has adequate space available in the Building for a comparable term, or (B) for a period of forty-five (45) days following the submission of a written proposal for the lease of space (and thereafter if a mutual agreement such as a letter of intent is executed within such period), any other person or entity with which Landlord is in the process of negotiating for the rental of space in the Building that is still available as of the date of Tenant’s Sublease Request Notice. No assignment or right of occupancy hereunder may be effectuated by operation of law or otherwise without the prior written consent of Landlord. Any attempted assignment, transfer or other encumbrance of this Lease or all or any of Tenant’s rights hereunder or interest herein, and any sublet or permission to use or occupy the Premises or any part thereof not in accordance with this Article VII, shall be void and of no force or effect. Any assignment or subletting, Landlord’s consent thereto, the listing or posting of any name other than Tenant’s, or Landlord’s collection or acceptance of rent from any assignee or subtenant shall not be construed either as waiving or releasing Tenant from any of its liabilities or obligations under this Lease as a principal and not as a guarantor or surety, or as relieving Tenant or any assignee or subtenant from the obligation of obtaining Landlord’s prior written consent to any subsequent assignment or subletting. As security for this Lease, Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord the rent due from any assignee or subtenant of Tenant. During any period that there exists an uncured Event of Default under this Lease, Tenant hereby authorizes each such assignee or subtenant to pay said rent directly to Landlord upon receipt of notice from Landlord specifying same. Landlord’s collection of such rent shall not be construed as an acceptance of such assignee or subtenant as a tenant. Tenant shall not mortgage, pledge, hypothecate or encumber (hereinafter, collectively “mortgage”) this Lease without Landlord’s prior written consent, which consent may be granted or withheld in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion. Tenant shall pay to Landlord an administrative fee equal to seven hundred fifty dollars ($750.00) plus all other actual, reasonable, out-of-pocket costs and reasonable third party expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and accounting costs) incurred by Landlord in connection with Tenant’s request for Landlord to give its consent to any assignment, subletting, or mortgage with respect to an assignee, subtenant or mortgagee that is not an Affiliate of the Tenant, and Landlord’s receipt of such sum shall be a condition to Landlord providing such consent. Any sublease, assignment or mortgage shall, at Landlord’s option, be effected on forms reasonably acceptable to the Landlord. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a fully-executed copy of each agreement evidencing a sublease, assignment or mortgage, and Landlord’s consent thereto, within ten (10) days after execution thereof.
7.2 Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article VII to the contrary, provided no Event of Default exists hereunder, Tenant may, upon not less than ten (10) days’ prior written notice to Landlord (which notice shall contain a written certificate from Tenant stating the legal and beneficial relationship of Tenant and the proposed assignee, transferee or subtenant) but without Landlord’s prior written consent and without being subject to Landlord’s rights and Tenant’s obligations set forth in Section 7.4 and Section 7.5 below, assign or transfer its entire interest in this Lease or sublease the entire or any portion of the Premises to an Affiliate of Tenant. In the event of any such assignment or subletting, Tenant shall remain fully liable as a primary obligor for the payment of all rent and other charges required hereunder and for the performance of all obligations to be performed by Tenant hereunder.
7.3 If at any time during the Lease Term Tenant desires to assign, sublet or mortgage all or part of this Lease or the Premises, then in connection with Tenant’s request to Landlord for Landlord’s consent where required, Tenant shall give to Landlord a Tenant’s Sublease Request Notice.
7.4 In the event of an assignment wherein the assignee posts a substitute letter of credit in the amount of the Security Deposit, Landlord agrees to thereafter promptly return Tenant’s letter of credit to Tenant.

7.5 If any sublease or assignment (whether by operation of law or otherwise, including an assignment pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code or any Insolvency Law) provides that the subtenant or assignee thereunder is to pay any amount in excess of the sum of (a) the rent and other charges due under this Lease plus (b) the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (excluding, however, any costs attributable to vacancy periods or “downtime”) reasonably incurred by Tenant in connection with the procurement of such sublease, assignment or other transfer (which expenses shall be amortized on a straight-line basis over the initial sublease term for the purposes hereof), then, whether such net excess be in the form of an increased monthly or annual rental, or any form of payment having the effect of a “disguised” rental payment (and if the subleased or assigned space does not constitute the entire Premises, the existence of such excess shall be determined on a pro-rata basis), Tenant shall pay to Landlord, along with Base Rent, fifty percent (50%) of any such net excess or other premium, which amount shall be calculated and paid by Tenant to Landlord on a monthly basis as additional rent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord is not intending to receive any amounts considered to be payment for the sale, transfer of lease of Tenant Items or based on the net income or profits of Tenant or any subtenant. Acceptance by Landlord of any payments due under this Section shall not be deemed to constitute approval by Landlord of any sublease or assignment, nor shall such acceptance waive any rights of Landlord hereunder. Landlord shall have the right to inspect and audit Tenant’s books and records relating to any sublease or assignment.
7.6 All restrictions and obligations imposed pursuant to this Lease on Tenant shall be deemed to extend to any subtenant, assignee, licensee, concessionaire or other occupant or transferee, and Tenant shall cause such person to comply with such restrictions and obligations. Any assignee shall be deemed to have assumed obligations as if such assignee had originally executed this Lease and at Landlord’s request shall execute promptly a document confirming such assumption. Each sublease is subject to the condition that if the Lease Term is terminated or Landlord succeeds to Tenant’s interest in the Premises by voluntary surrender or otherwise, at Landlord’s option the subtenant shall be bound to Landlord for the balance of the term of such sublease and shall attorn to and recognize Landlord as its landlord under the then executory terms of such sublease.
7.7 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event that Tenant proposes to assign the Lease to an entity with (a) a tangible net worth valuation by a third party of $500 million, (b) a market capitalization of $500 million, and (c) such entity posts a letter of credit in the amount of Tenant’s letter of credit, Tenant shall be released from future liability accruing under the Lease.

8.1 Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, shall promptly make all non-structural repairs and replacements, and perform all non-structural maintenance, in and to the Premises to keep the Premises in good operating condition and repair, in a clean, safe and tenantable condition, and otherwise in accordance with all Laws and the requirements of this Lease. Tenant shall likewise maintain all trade fixtures, furnishings and equipment located in, or exclusively serving, the Premises and make all required repairs and replacements thereto. Tenant shall also maintain, repair and replace, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, the Tenant Items and shall keep in force customary maintenance and service contracts therefor.

Except as otherwise provided in Article XVII hereof, all injury, breakage and damage to the Premises and to any other part of the Building or the Land caused by any act or omission of Tenant or any Agent of Tenant, (i) shall be, with respect to repairs to Building Structure and Systems, the Building, or the Land, repaired by Landlord at the Tenant’s cost and expense with respect to any repairs to Building Structure and Systems and (ii) shall be, with respect to non-structural repairs to the Premises and/or Tenant Items, repaired by the Tenant at Tenant’s expense, except that if either an emergency condition exists or the Lease Term has expired or Tenant fails to commence and diligently prosecute to completion repair of any such injury, breakage or damage within a reasonable period (not to exceed ten (10) days) following Tenant’s receipt of notice from Landlord, then Landlord shall have the right at Landlord’s option to make any such repair and to charge Tenant for all costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith. Notwithstanding any term, condition or provisions of this Section 8.1 to the contrary, Landlord shall provide and install replacement tubes for Building standard fluorescent light fixtures. All other bulbs and tubes for the Premises shall be provided and installed at Tenant’s expense; provided that if Tenant elects to supply the bulbs or tubes to Landlord, then Landlord shall provide the labor involved for such replacement at no cost to Tenant.
8.2 Except as otherwise provided in this Lease and subject to normal wear and tear, Landlord shall keep the Building Structure and Systems, clean and in good operating condition and, promptly after becoming aware of any item needing repair or replacement, will make such repair or replacement. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary, maintenance and repair of all Tenant Items shall be the sole responsibility of Tenant and shall be deemed not to be a part of the Building Structure and Systems.

ALTERATIONS
9.1 The initial improvement of the Premises under this Lease shall be accomplished by Landlord or its designated contractor(s) in accordance with Exhibit “C”. Landlord is under no obligation to make any Alterations in or to the Premises or the Building except as may be otherwise expressly provided in this Lease.
9.2 Tenant shall not make or permit anyone to make any Alterations in or to the Premises or the Building without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent may be withheld or granted in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion with respect to Structural and System Alterations and any Alterations which are visible from the exterior of the Premises, and which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed with respect to all other Alterations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have the right to make Cosmetic Changes within the Premises without requiring the consent of Landlord. All Alterations made by Tenant shall be made: (a) in a good, workmanlike, first-class and prompt manner; (b) using new or comparable materials only; (c) by a contractor reasonably approved in writing by Landlord; (d) on days and at times reasonably approved in writing by Landlord; (e) under the supervision of an architect reasonably approved in writing by Landlord; (f) in accordance with plans and specifications reasonably acceptable to Landlord, approved in writing at Landlord’s standard charge; (g) in accordance with all Laws; (h) after having obtained any required consent of the holder of any Mortgage of whom Tenant has notice; (i) after obtaining public liability and worker’s compensation insurance policies reasonably approved in writing by Landlord (all contractors and subcontractors shall be required to procure and maintain insurance against such risks, in such amounts, and with such companies as Landlord may reasonably require. Certificates of such insurance must be received by Landlord before any work is commenced. All contracts between Tenant and a contractor must explicitly require the contractor to (1) name Landlord and Landlord’s agents as additional insureds and (2) indemnify and hold harmless Landlord and Landlord’s agents); (j) with the obligation for Tenant to deliver to Landlord written, unconditional, full or partial (as applicable) waivers of mechanics’ and materialmen’s liens against the Premises and the Building for all work, labor and services to be performed and materials to be furnished within ten (10) business days after the applicable portion of the Alterations are completed; and (k) upon request, after Tenant has delivered to Landlord documentation reasonably satisfactory to Landlord evidencing Tenant’s financial ability to complete the Alteration in accordance with the provisions of this Lease (including, a payment or performance bond). If any lien (or a petition to establish such lien) is filed in connection with any Alteration made by or on behalf of Tenant, such lien (or petition) shall be discharged by Tenant within ten (10) days thereafter, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, by the payment thereof or by the filing of a reasonably acceptable bond. If Landlord gives its consent to the making of any Alteration, such consent shall not be deemed to be an agreement or consent by Landlord to subject its interest in the Premises or the Building to any liens which may be filed in connection therewith. Tenant acknowledges that any Alterations are accomplished for Tenant’s account, Landlord having no obligation or responsibility in respect thereof. Landlord’s approval of any plans and drawings (and changes thereto) regarding any Alterations or any contractor or subcontractor performing such Alterations shall not constitute Landlord’s representation that such approved plans, drawings, changes or Alterations comply with all Laws. Any deficiency in design or construction, although same had prior approval of Landlord, shall be solely the responsibility of Tenant. All Alterations involving structural, electrical, mechanical or plumbing work, the heating, ventilation and air conditioning system of the Premises or the Building, fire and life safety system, the roof of the Building, or any areas outside of the Premises shall, at Landlord’s election, be performed by Landlord’s designated contractor or subcontractor at Tenant’s expense (provided the cost therefor is competitive). In connection with any Alteration, Landlord shall be paid a construction supervision fee in an amount equal to two and one-half percent (2.5%) of the total cost of such Alteration. Promptly after the completion of an Alteration, Tenant at its expense shall deliver to Landlord three (3) sets of accurate as-built (or record) drawings and CAD drawings showing such Alteration in place.
9.3 If any Alterations that require Landlord’s consent are made without the prior written consent of Landlord, then Landlord shall have the right, at Tenant’s expense, to so remove and correct such Alterations and restore the Premises and the Building. All Alterations to the Premises or the Building made by either party shall immediately become the property of Landlord and shall remain upon and be surrendered with the Premises as a part thereof at the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term; provided, however, that (a) if Tenant is not in default under this Lease, then Tenant shall have the right to remove, prior to the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term, all movable furniture, furnishings and equipment installed in the Premises solely at the expense of Tenant, and (b) Tenant shall remove at its expense all Alterations and other items in the Premises or the Building which Landlord designates in writing for removal. Landlord shall make such designation promptly after receipt of a
-15-

written request by Tenant given with Tenant’s request for Landlord’s approval of any Alterations to be made from time to time during the Lease Term. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall not be required to remove: (x) Alterations consisting of standard buildout items that are typically installed by similar tenants in multi-tenanted, multi-story, first class office buildings (such as partitions, but not interior staircases, for example), unless so indicated by Landlord at the time required above; and (y) any Alteration made by Tenant in initially finishing and completing the Premises in accordance with Exhibit “C”, except any Structural and System Alterations or as otherwise indicated on any of Tenant’s plans. Movable furniture, furnishings and trade fixtures shall be deemed to exclude without limitation any item the removal of which might cause damage to the Premises or the Building or which would normally be removed from the Premises with the assistance of any tool or machinery other than a dolly. If such removal causes damage or injury to the Premises or the Building, then Landlord shall have the right, at Tenant’s expense, to repair all damage and injury to the Premises or the Building caused by such removal as aforesaid. If such furniture, furnishings and equipment are not removed by Tenant prior to the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term, the same shall at Landlord’s option be deemed abandoned or become the property of Landlord to be surrendered with the Premises as a part thereof; provided, however, that Landlord shall have the right at Tenant’s expense to remove from the Premises any or all such items or to require Tenant to do the same, except as otherwise provided in this Section. If Tenant fails to return the Premises to Landlord as required by this Section, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord, all costs (including a construction management fee) incurred by Landlord in effectuating such return.
ARTICLE X
SIGNS
10.1 Landlord will list, at Landlord’s expense, the name of Tenant (and any permitted subtenants and assignees) and its employees in the Building directory in a number of listings up to the Building Directory Share and will provide Building standard signage on one suite entry door. Tenant shall not place, inscribe, paint, affix or otherwise display any sign, advertisement, picture, lettering or notice of any kind on any part of the exterior or interior of the Building (including windows and doors), or on any part of the interior of the Premises which can be seen from outside the Premises, without the prior written approval of Landlord, which may be granted or withheld in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion. If any such item that has not been approved by Landlord is so displayed, then Landlord shall have the right to remove such item at Tenant’s expense. Landlord reserves the right to install and display signs, advertisements and notices on any part of the exterior or interior of the Building; provided, however that Landlord shall only affix, install, or display signs on the interior of the Premises which pertain to the management or operation of the Building, and any such interior or exterior signs shall not obstruct the windows in the Premises.
10.2 Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have the right to install its Proportionate Share of signage on the shared project monument to be installed at the Building. Tenant shall obtain Landlord’s written approval of the size, design, and specifications for such sign, and shall obtain any necessary permits for said sign. Tenant shall install its approved sign at a time mutually agreed upon by Landlord and Tenant, it being understood and agreed that Landlord shall have the right to supervise such installation. Throughout the Lease Term, Tenant shall maintain said sign in good condition and repair. Upon the expiration or termination of the Term of this Lease, Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall remove such sign and repair any damage to the monument resulting therefrom. Landlord shall cooperate with Tenant, at Tenant’s cost, to obtain any necessary permits and approvals with respect to the Tenant’s sign on the shared project monument.
ARTICLE XI
SECURITY DEPOSIT
11.1 Upon its execution of this Lease, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord an irrevocable unconditional standby letter of credit in lieu of a cash security deposit. Such letter of credit shall be in form attached hereto as Exhibit “H”. Tenant shall cooperate with Landlord to effect any modifications, transfers or replacements of the letter of credit requested by Landlord in order to assure that Landlord is at all times fully secured by a valid letter of credit that may be drawn upon by Landlord, its successors and assigns. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, any cure or grace period provided in connection with an Event of Default shall not apply to any deficiency in, or lapse of, the Letter of Credit, and, specifically, if the letter or credit is not timely renewed, then an immediate Event of Default shall occur and Landlord shall have the right to immediately draw upon the letter of credit without notice to Tenant and apply the proceeds to the security deposit. Each Letter of Credit shall be issued by a commercial bank that has a credit rating with respect to certificates of deposit, short term deposits or commercial paper of at least A-2 (or equivalent) by Xxxxx’x Investor Service, Inc., or at least P-2 (or equivalent) by Standard & Poor’s Corporation, and shall be otherwise acceptable to Landlord in its sole and absolute discretion. If the issuer’s credit rating is reduced below A-2 (or equivalent) by Xxxxx’x Investors Service, Inc. or below P-2 (or equivalent) by Standard & Poor’s Corporation, or if the financial
-16-
Table of Contents
condition of such issuer changes in any other materially adverse way, then Landlord shall have the right to require that Tenant obtain from a different issuer a substitute letter of credit that complies in all respects with the requirements of this Section, and Tenant’s failure to obtain such substitute letter of credit within ten (10) days following Landlord’s written demand therefor (with no other notice or cure or grace period being applicable thereto, notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary) shall entitle Landlord to immediately draw upon the then existing Letter of Credit in whole or in part, without notice to Tenant. In the event the issuer of any letter of credit held by Landlord is insolvent or is placed into receivership or conservatorship by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or any successor or similar entity, or if a trustee, receiver or liquidator is appointed for the issuer, then, effective as of the date of such occurrence, said Letter of Credit shall be deemed to not meet the requirements of this Section, and, within ten (10) days thereof, Tenant shall replace such Letter of Credit with other collateral acceptable to Landlord in its sole and absolute discretion (and Tenant’s failure to do so shall, notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, constitute an Event of Default for which there shall be no notice or grace or cure periods being applicable thereto other than the aforesaid ten (10) day period). Any failure or refusal of the issuer to honor the letter of credit shall be at Tenant’s sole risk and shall not relieve Tenant of its obligations hereunder with respect to the security deposit.
11.2 Within approximately thirty (30) days after the later of the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term or Tenant’s vacating the Premises, Landlord shall return such letter of credit to Tenant, less such portion thereof as Landlord shall have appropriated to satisfy an Event of Default (or such other event which, with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both, would constitute an Event of Default; provided that Landlord has delivered Tenant written notice thereof within the foregoing 30-day period) under this Lease.
ARTICLE XII
INSPECTION
12.1 Tenant shall permit Landlord, its agents and representatives, and the holder of any Mortgage, to enter the Premises at any time and from time to time, without charge therefor and without diminution of the rent payable by Tenant, in order to examine, inspect or protect the Premises and the Building, to make such alterations and/or repairs as in the sole but reasonable judgment of Landlord may be deemed necessary or desirable, or to exhibit the same to brokers, prospective tenants (during the last twelve (12) months of the Lease Term), lenders, purchasers and others. Except in the event of an emergency, Landlord shall provide the Tenant with 24 hours advance notice of any such entry (which may be verbal) and shall permit Tenant to have a representative present at such time; and shall minimize disruption to Tenant’s normal business operations in the Premises in connection with any such entry.
ARTICLE XIII

13.1 Tenant shall not conduct or permit to be conducted any activity, or place or permit to be placed any equipment or other item in or about the Premises or the Building, which will in any way increase the rate of property insurance or other insurance on the Building. If any increase in the rate of property or other insurance is due to any activity, equipment or other item of Tenant, then (whether or not Landlord has consented to such activity, equipment or other item) Tenant shall pay as additional rent due hereunder the amount of such increase. The statement of any applicable insurance company or insurance rating organization (or other organization exercising similar functions in connection with the prevention of fire or the correction of hazardous conditions) that an increase is due to any such activity, equipment or other item shall be conclusive evidence thereof.
13.2 (a) Throughout the Lease Term, Tenant shall obtain and maintain the following insurance coverages written with companies with an A.M. Best A-VI or better rating:
(i) Commercial General Liability (“CGL”) insurance (written on an occurrence basis) with limits not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) combined single limit per occurrence, Two Million Dollar ($2,000,000.00) annual general aggregate (on a per location basis), Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) products/completed operations aggregate, One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) personal and advertising injury liability, Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00) fire damage legal liability, and Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000.00) medical payments.

(vii) Builder’s Risk (or Building Constructions) insurance during the course of construction of any Alteration, including during the performance of Tenant’s Work and until completion thereof. Such insurance shall be on a form covering Landlord, Landlord’s architects, Landlord’s contractor or subcontractors, Tenant and Tenant’s contractors, as their interest may appear, against loss or damage by fire, vandalism, and malicious mischief and other such risks as are customarily covered by the so-called “broad form extended coverage endorsement” upon all Alterations or Tenant’s Work in place and all materials stored at the Premises, and all materials, equipment, supplies and temporary structures of all kinds incident to Alterations or Tenant’s Work and builder’s machinery, tools and equipment, all while forming a part of, or on the Premises, or when adjacent thereto, while on drives, sidewalks, streets or alleys, all on a completed value basis for the full insurable value at all times. Said Builder’s Risk Insurance shall contain an express waiver of any right of subrogation by the insurer against Landlord, its agents, employees and contractors.
(viii) Notwithstanding any term, condition, or provision of this Article XIII to the contrary, Tenant may satisfy any insurance requirement hereunder by providing one or more “blanket” insurance policies, subject to the Landlord’s approval in each instance as to limits, coverages, forms, deductibles, inception and expiration dates, and cancellation provisions.
(b) Landlord and the Landlord Insured Parties shall be endorsed on each policy as additional insureds as it pertains to the CGL, Umbrella, and Auto policy, and coverage shall be primary and noncontributory. Landlord shall be a loss payee on the Property policy in respect of Tenant’s improvements. All insurance shall (1) contain an endorsement that such policy shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding that the insured may have waived its right of action against any party prior to the occurrence of a loss (Tenant hereby waiving its right of action and recovery against and releasing Landlord and Landlord’s Representatives from any and all liabilities, claims and losses for which they may otherwise be liable to the extent Tenant is covered by insurance carried or required to be carried under this Lease); and (2) provide that the insurer thereunder waives all right of recovery by way of subrogation against Landlord and Landlord’s Representatives in connection with any loss or damage covered by such policy. Tenant hereby agrees that it will not cancel, fail to renew, reduce the amount of insurance, or change the amount or type of insurance coverage without having first provided thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Landlord of any such proposed action. Tenant shall be responsible for any deductible or self-insured retention contained within its insurance programs. Tenant shall deliver an Xxxxx 25 certificate with respect to all liability and personal property insurance and an Xxxxx 28 certificate with respect to all commercial property insurance and receipts evidencing payment therefor (and, upon request, copies of all required insurance policies, including endorsements and declarations) to Landlord on or before the Lease Commencement Date and at least annually thereafter.
13.3 Landlord agrees to carry and maintain all-risk property insurance (with replacement cost coverage) covering the Building and Landlord’s property therein in an amount required by its insurance company to avoid the application of any coinsurance provision. Landlord hereby waives its right of recovery against Tenant and releases Tenant from any and all liabilities, claims and losses for which Tenant may otherwise be liable to the extent Landlord receives proceeds from its property insurance therefor. Landlord shall secure a waiver of subrogation endorsement from its insurance carrier. Landlord also agrees to carry and maintain commercial general liability insurance in limits it reasonably deems appropriate (but in no event less than the limits required by Tenant pursuant to Section 13.2 hereof). Landlord may elect to carry such other additional insurance or higher limits as it reasonably deems appropriate. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord shall not carry insurance on, and shall not be responsible for damage to, Tenant’s personal property or any Alterations (including Tenant’s Work), and that Landlord shall not carry insurance against, or be responsible for any loss suffered by Tenant due to, interruption of Tenant’s business.

To the extent Tenant provides or contracts for any services relating to any Building Structure or System or any service or utility being provided by Landlord to the Premises directly from the supplier (which Tenant shall not be permitted to do without Landlord’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld conditioned or delayed), Tenant shall enter into and maintain a service contract therefor with a contractor licensed to do business in the jurisdiction in which the Building is located and otherwise approved by Landlord. Tenant shall have access to the Building twenty-four (24) hours per day each day of the year (except in the event of an emergency).

Any person receiving an article delivered for Tenant shall be acting as Tenant’s agent for such purpose and not as Landlord’s agent. Neither Landlord nor Tenant shall under any circumstances be liable for any exemplary, punitive, consequential or indirect damages (or for any interruption of or loss to business) in connection with or relating to this Lease, except for Tenant’s liability under Article XXII hereof (Holdover).
15.2 (a) Except to the extent caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord and/or Landlord’s Representatives, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord (as additional rent) for, and shall indemnify, defend upon request, and hold Landlord and/or Landlord’s Representatives harmless from and against all reasonable Costs suffered by or claimed against them, directly or indirectly, based on or arising out of, in whole or in part, (i) Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Premises or the business conducted therein, (ii) any negligent or willful act or omission of Tenant or any of Tenant’s Agents, (iii) any breach of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, including failure to comply with Laws or
-20-

surrender the Premises upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term, or (iv) any entry by Tenant or any Agent upon the Land prior to the Lease Commencement Date; provided, however, that Tenant and Tenant’s Agents shall not under any circumstances be obligated to indemnify, defend or hold Landlord harmless for any exemplary, punitive, consequential, or indirect damages in connection with or relating to this Lease. It is hereby acknowledged and agreed by the Landlord and Tenant that the foregoing sentence shall not be construed to limit Tenant’s potential liability to Landlord for consequential damages, as provided in Article XXII hereof (Holdover).
(b) Except to the extent caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or an Agent of Tenant, Landlord shall reimburse Tenant and shall indemnify, defend upon request, and hold Tenant harmless from and against all Costs suffered or claimed against Tenant as a result of Landlord’s use or control of the Common Areas of the Building and the Building Structure and Systems.
15.3 No landlord hereunder shall be liable for any obligation or liability based on or arising out of any event or condition occurring during the period that such landlord was not the owner of the Building or a landlord’s interest therein, except to the extent any such event or condition continues after such landlord becomes the owner of the Building. Within five (5) days after request, Tenant shall attorn to any transferee landlord and execute, acknowledge and deliver any document submitted to Tenant confirming such attornment provided such transferee assumes the obligations of Landlord hereunder which accrue from and after the date of the transfer.
15.4 Except as expressly provided in this Lease, Tenant shall not have the right to set off or deduct any amount allegedly owed to Tenant pursuant to any claim against Landlord from any rent or other sum payable to Landlord. Tenant’s sole remedy for recovering upon such claim shall be to institute an independent action against Landlord, which action shall not be consolidated with any summary proceeding action of Landlord to dispossess Tenant; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit Tenant from asserting a compulsory counterclaim in any proceeding instituted by Landlord against the Tenant that will be deemed forever waived under applicable Law if not then asserted by Tenant.
15.5 If Tenant or any Agent is awarded a money judgment against Landlord, then recourse for satisfaction of such judgment shall be limited to execution against Landlord’s estate and interest in the Building and the Land which shall be deemed to include proceeds actually received by Landlord from any sale of the Building and the Land (net of all expenses of sale), insurance or condemnation proceeds (subject to the rights of any Mortgagees), and rental income from the Building and the Land (net of all expenses) to the extent all of the foregoing are held in an account for Landlord and have not been applied or distributed by Landlord in the ordinary course of business (i.e., not as a fraud against creditors). No other asset of Landlord, and no asset of any of Landlord’s Representatives (or any past, present or future board member, partner, director, member, officer, trustee, employee, agent, representative or advisor of any of them (each, an “officer”)) or any other person or entity, shall be available to satisfy or be subject to any such judgment. No such Landlord’s Representative, officer or other person or entity shall be held to have personal liability for satisfaction of any claim or judgment whatsoever under this Lease.
ARTICLE XVI
RULES
16.1 Tenant and Agents shall at all times abide by and observe the rules specified in Exhibit “D” attached hereto and made a part hereof. Tenant and Agents shall also abide by and observe any other rule that Landlord may reasonably promulgate from time to time for the operation and maintenance of the Building, provided that written notice thereof is given and such rule is not inconsistent with the provisions of this Lease. All rules shall be binding upon Tenant and enforceable by Landlord as if they were contained herein. Nothing contained in this Lease shall be construed as imposing upon Landlord any duty or obligation to enforce such rules, or the terms, conditions or covenants contained in any other lease, as against any other tenant, and Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for the violation of such rules by any other tenant or its employees, agents, assignees, subtenants, invitees or licensees. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts not to enforce any rule or regulation in a manner which unreasonably discriminates among similarly situated tenants.
ARTICLE XVII
DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION
17.1 If the Premises or the Building are totally or partially damaged or destroyed thereby rendering the Premises totally or partially inaccessible or unusable, then Landlord shall diligently repair and restore the Premises and the Building to substantially the same condition they were in prior to such damage or destruction. In the event that, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, such repair and restoration cannot be completed within one hundred eighty (180) days after the occurrence of such damage or destruction (taking into account the time needed for effecting a satisfactory settlement with any insurance
-21-
Table of Contents
company involved, removal of debris, preparation of plans and issuance of all required governmental permits), Landlord shall either (a) terminate this Lease by giving written notice of termination within forty-five (45) days after the occurrence of such damage or destruction or (b) deliver written notice to the Tenant of the Landlord’s determination that the repair or restoration cannot be completed within 180 days following the occurrence of such damage or destruction. In the event that the Landlord should deliver the notice to the Tenant referenced in subsection (b) above, Tenant shall have a period of fifteen (15) days from its receipt of such notice to elect to terminate this Lease by giving written notice of such election to the Landlord; provided however, that Tenant shall not be permitted to exercise its termination right if the damage or destruction was caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Tenant or any of the Tenant’s Agents. If this Lease is terminated pursuant to the terms, conditions and provisions of this Section 17.1, then Base Rent and Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Operating Charges and Real Estate Taxes shall be apportioned (based on the portion of the Premises which is usable or used after such damage or destruction) and paid to the earlier of the date of termination or the date Tenant completely vacates and abandons the Premises on account of such damage and Landlord shall be entitled to any insurance proceeds received by Tenant that are attributable to Tenant’s Work and other improvements insured or required to be insured by Tenant that would remain in the Premises at the end of the Lease Term. If this Lease is not terminated as a result of such damage or destruction, then until such repair and restoration of the Premises are substantially complete, Tenant shall be required to pay rent only for the portion of the Premises that is usable while such repair and restoration are being made; provided, however, that (x) if such damage or destruction was caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or any of Tenant’s Agent, then Tenant shall not be entitled to any such rent reduction and (y) if Tenant fails to immediately pay over to Landlord insurance proceeds to which the Landlord is entitled in accordance with the terms, conditions, and provisions of this Lease when received from Tenant’s insurance carrier, any such rent abatement shall end on the date when Landlord would have been able to substantially complete repair and restoration of the Premises had Tenant timely paid Landlord such insurance proceeds. After receipt of all insurance proceeds, Landlord shall proceed with and bear the expenses of such repair and restoration of the Premises and the Building; provided, however, that (i) if such damage or destruction was caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or any of Tenant’s Agents, then Tenant shall pay Landlord’s deductible and the amount by which such expenses exceed the insurance proceeds, if any, actually received by Landlord on account of such damage or destruction (or, if Landlord fails to maintain the insurance required by Section 13.3, that Landlord would have received to the extent Landlord maintained such insurance required by Section 13.3), (ii) Tenant shall pay the amount by which the cost of restoring any item which Landlord is required to restore and Tenant is required to insure exceeds the insurance proceeds received with respect thereto, and (iii) Landlord shall not be required to repair or restore any tenant improvements installed in the Premises, any Alterations or any other contents of the Premises (including Tenant’s trade fixtures, decorations, furnishings, equipment or personal property). Notwithstanding the terms, conditions or provisions of this Lease to the contrary, Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease if (1) insurance proceeds plus deductibles are insufficient to pay the full cost of such repair and restoration (so long as Landlord maintains the insurance required by Section 13.3), (2) the holder of any Mortgage fails or refuses to make such insurance proceeds available for such repair and restoration, (3) zoning or other applicable Laws or regulations do not permit such repair and restoration, or (4) the damage to the Building exceeds thirty-five percent (35%) of the replacement value of the Building.
17.2 In the event that this Lease shall be terminated in accordance with the terms, conditions, and provisions of Section 17.1 above, this Lease shall be of no further force and effect.
ARTICLE XVIII
CONDEMNATION
18.1 In the event that all of the Building and the Land and/or the Premises shall be taken or condemned by any governmental or quasi-governmental authority for any public or quasi-public use or purpose or sold under threat of such a taking or condemnation (hereinafter referred to as a “total condemnation “), this Lease shall terminate on the day immediately prior to the date that title thereto vests in the condemning authority, Tenant shall be fully released from all of its obligations under this Lease, Base Rent and Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Operating Charges and Real Estate Taxes shall be apportioned and paid to the day immediately prior to the date that title thereto vests in the condemning authority, and the Landlord shall promptly return the letter of credit to the Tenant and/or execute such documentation as is necessary to terminate the letter of credit.
18.2 In the event that a portion of the Building, the Land, and/or the Premises shall be taken or condemned by any governmental or quasi-governmental authority for any public or quasi-public use or purpose or sold under threat of such a taking or condemnation (hereinafter referred to as a “partial condemnation”) such that more than twenty percent (20%) of the Premises is taken, access to the Premises is taken, or the taking has the effect of rendering the Premises substantially unsuitable for the Tenant’s permitted use under this Lease, the Tenant shall have the option to terminate this Lease by delivering written notice to the Landlord. In the event that the Tenant should elect to terminate this Lease,
-22-
Table of Contents
this Lease shall terminate on the day immediately prior to the date that title thereto vests in the condemning authority, Tenant shall be fully released from all of its obligations under this Lease, Base Rent and Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Operating Charges and Real Estate Taxes shall be apportioned and paid to the day immediately prior to the date that title thereto vests in the condemning authority, and the Landlord shall promptly return the letter of credit to the Tenant and/or execute such documentation as is necessary to terminate the letter of credit.
18.3 If less than twenty percent (20%) of the Premises or occupancy thereof is condemned, then this Lease shall continue in full force and effect as to the part of the Premises not so condemned, except that as of the date title vests in such authority Tenant shall not be required to pay Base Rent or Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Operating Charges and Real Estate Taxes with respect to the part of the Premises so condemned.
18.4 Landlord shall notify Tenant of any condemnation contemplated by this Section promptly after Landlord receives notice thereof. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the Land or the Building is condemned, then whether or not any portion of the Premises is condemned, Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease as of the date title vests in such authority.
18.5 In case of any condemnation, Landlord shall be entitled to receive all awards, damages and other compensation paid on account of (a) the value of the Building and (b) the value of Tenant’s estate under this Lease; and Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord any and all right, title and interest of Tenant now or hereafter arising in or to any award, damages or other compensation or any part thereof, and Tenant shall not be entitled to receive any part of such award, damages or other compensation. However, Tenant may make an independent claim in such proceedings for its personalty, trade fixtures, moving expenses, good-will, advertising, printing, phone lines, and damages for interruption of business; provided, however, that any such claim shall in no way affect any portion of any award which Landlord or the holder of any mortgage to which this Lease shall be subordinate shall be entitled to receive.
ARTICLE XIX
DEFAULT
19.1 If there shall be an Event of Default (even if prior to the Lease Commencement Date), then the provisions of Section 19.2 shall apply.
19.2 Landlord shall have the right, at its sole option, to terminate this Lease. Landlord may proceed to recover possession of the Premises under applicable Laws, or by such other proceedings, including re-entry and possession, as may be applicable. Whether or not this Lease and/or Tenant’s right of possession is terminated, Landlord shall have the right, at its sole option, to terminate any renewal or expansion right contained in this Lease and to grant or withhold any consent or approval pursuant to this Lease in its sole and absolute discretion. If Tenant is in default under this Lease and has vacated the Premises, and if Landlord has terminated this Lease as a result of such default, then Landlord shall thereafter use reasonable efforts to relet the Premises. Tenant hereby expressly waives, for itself and all persons claiming by, through or under it, any right of redemption, re-entry or restoration of the operation of this Lease under any present or future Law, including any such right which Tenant would otherwise have in case Tenant shall be dispossessed for any cause, or in case Landlord shall obtain possession of the Premises as herein provided. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to relet the Premises or any part thereof, alone or together with other premises, for such term(s) (which may extend beyond the date on which the Lease Term would have expired but for Tenant’s default) and on such terms and conditions (which may include any concessions or allowances granted by Landlord) as Landlord, in its reasonable discretion, may determine, but Landlord shall not be liable for, nor shall Tenant’s obligations hereunder be diminished by reason of, any failure by Landlord to relet all or any portion of the Premises or to collect any rent due upon such reletting. Whether or not this Lease and/or Tenant’s right of possession is terminated or any suit is instituted, Tenant shall be liable for any Base Rent, additional rent, damages or other sum which may be due or sustained prior to such default, and for all costs, fees and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and actual, out-of-pocket costs, brokerage fees, expenses incurred in placing the Premises in first-class rentable condition, advertising expenses, and any concessions or allowances granted by Landlord) incurred by Landlord in pursuit of its remedies hereunder and/or in recovering possession of the Premises and renting the Premises to others from time to time. Tenant also shall be liable for additional damages in an amount equal to the Base Rent and additional rent due or which would have become due from the date of Tenant’s default through the remainder of the Lease Term, less the amount of rental, if any, which Landlord receives during such period from others to whom the Premises may be rented (other than any additional rent received by Landlord as a result of any failure of such other person to perform any of its obligations to Landlord), which amount shall be computed and payable in monthly installments, in advance, on the first day of each calendar month following Tenant’s default and continuing until the date on which the Lease Term would have expired but for Tenant’s default, it being understood that separate suits may be brought from time to time to collect
-23-
Table of Contents
any such damages for any month(s) (and any such separate suit shall not in any manner prejudice the right of Landlord to collect any damages for any subsequent month(s)), or Landlord may defer initiating any such suit until after the expiration of the Lease Term (in which event such deferral shall not be construed as a waiver of Landlord’s rights as set forth herein and Landlord’s cause of action shall be deemed not to have accrued until the expiration of the Lease Term) and it being further understood that if Landlord elects to bring suits from time to time prior to reletting the Premises, Landlord shall be entitled to its full damages through the date of the award of damages without regard to any Base Rent, additional rent or other sums that are or may be projected to be received by Landlord upon reletting of the Premises. Tenant shall pay all expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by Landlord in connection with or as a result of any Event of Default whether or not a suit is instituted. The provisions contained in this Section 19.2 shall be in addition to, and shall not prevent the enforcement of, any claim Landlord may have against Tenant for anticipatory breach of this Lease (including, the right of injunction and the right to invoke any remedy allowed at law or in equity as if reentry, summary proceedings and other remedies were not provided for herein). Nothing herein shall be construed to affect or prejudice Landlord’s right to prove, and claim in full, unpaid rent accrued prior to termination of this Lease. If Landlord is entitled, or Tenant is required, pursuant to any provision hereof to take any action upon the termination of the Lease Term, then Landlord shall be entitled, and Tenant shall be required, to take such action also upon the termination of Tenant’s right of possession.
19.3 All rights and remedies of Landlord set forth in this Lease are cumulative and in addition to all other rights and remedies available to Landlord at law or in equity, including those available as a result of any anticipatory breach of this Lease. The exercise by Landlord of any such right or remedy shall not prevent the concurrent or subsequent exercise of any other right or remedy. No delay or failure by Landlord or Tenant to exercise or enforce any of its respective rights or remedies or the other party’s obligations (except to the extent a time period is specified in this Lease therefor) shall constitute a waiver of any such or subsequent rights, remedies or obligations. Neither party shall be deemed to have waived any default by the other party unless such waiver expressly is set forth in a written instrument signed by the party against whom such waiver is asserted. If Landlord waives in writing any default by Tenant, such waiver shall not be construed as a waiver of any covenant, condition or agreement set forth in this Lease except as to the specific circumstances described in such written waiver.
19.4 Neither the payment by Tenant of a lesser amount than the monthly installment of Base Rent, additional rent or of any sums due hereunder nor any endorsement or statement on any check or letter accompanying a check for payment of rent or other sums payable hereunder shall be deemed an accord and satisfaction. Landlord may accept the same without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the balance of such rent or other sums or to pursue any other remedy. Notwithstanding any request or designation by Tenant, Landlord may apply any payment received from Tenant to any payment then due. No re-entry by Landlord, and no acceptance by Landlord of keys from Tenant, shall be considered an acceptance of a surrender of this Lease.
19.5 If Tenant fails to make any payment to any third party or to do any act herein required to be made or done by Tenant, then Landlord may, after written notice to Tenant, but shall not be required to, make such payment or do such act. The taking of such action by Landlord shall not be considered a cure of such default by Tenant or prevent Landlord from pursuing any remedy it is otherwise entitled to in connection with such default. If Landlord elects to make such payment or do such act, then all expenses incurred by Landlord, plus interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date incurred by Landlord to the date of payment thereof by Tenant, shall constitute additional rent due hereunder.
19.6 If Tenant fails to make any payment of Base Rent, additional rent or any other sum on or before the date such payment is due and payable (without regard to any grace period), then Landlord shall have the right to impose upon Tenant in writing a late charge of five percent (5%) of the amount of such payment. In addition, such payment and such late fee shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date such payment or late fee, respectively, became due to the date of payment thereof by Tenant. Such late charge and interest shall constitute additional rent due hereunder without any notice or demand; provided, that on one occasion in any 12 month period, no late charge or interest shall accrue provided that Tenant pays the delinquent sum within five (5) business days after Landlord’s written demand.
19.7 As security for the performance of Tenant’s obligations, Tenant grants to Landlord a lien upon and a security interest in Tenant’s existing or hereafter acquired personal property, inventory, furniture, furnishings, fixtures, equipment, licenses, permits and all other tangible and intangible property, assets and accounts, and all additions, modifications, products and proceeds thereof. Such lien shall be in addition to all rights of distraint available under applicable law. Within fifteen (15) days after request from time to time, Tenant shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord a financing statement and any other document evidencing or establishing such lien and security interest which may be requested by Landlord. During the pendency of an Event of Default, Tenant appoints Landlord as Tenant’s attorney-in-fact to execute any such document for Tenant. In addition, Landlord shall have the right, at Landlord’s sole option, to file in any jurisdiction a copy of this Lease (as executed by Tenant) as a financing
-24-

statement. During any period that Tenant is in default under this Lease, Tenant shall not sell, transfer or remove from the Premises any of the aforementioned tangible property without Landlord’s prior written consent, unless the same shall be promptly replaced with similar items of comparable value.
ARTICLE XX
BANKRUPTCY
20.1 Upon occurrence of an Event of Bankruptcy, Landlord shall have all rights and remedies available pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code. Any person or entity to which this Lease is assigned pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code shall be deemed without further act or deed to have assumed all of the obligations arising under this Lease on and after the date of assignment, and any such assignee shall upon request execute and deliver to Landlord an instrument confirming such assumption. If Trustee desires to assume and assign this Lease to any person who shall have made a bona fide offer, Tenant agrees to so notify Landlord of such proposed assignment no later than ten (10) days after Tenant has received notice thereof. At any time during the Term, upon not less than fifteen (15) days prior written notice, Tenant shall provide Landlord with the most current financial statement for Tenant and any such person and financial statements for the two (2) years prior to the current financial statement year. Such statements are to be certified by Tenant to be true, correct and complete, prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and, if it is the normal practice of Tenant, audited by any independent certified public accountant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for so long as Tenant’s financial statements are filed with the SEC and are publicly available, Tenant shall not be required to provide Tenant’s financial statements to Landlord.
ARTICLE XXI
SUBORDINATION
21.1 This Lease is subject and subordinate to the lien, provisions, operation and effect of all Mortgages, to all funds and indebtedness intended to be secured thereby, and to all renewals, extensions, modifications, recastings or refinancings thereof. Said subordination and the provisions of this Section 21.1 shall be self-operative and no further instrument of subordination shall be required to effectuate such subordination. The holder of any Mortgage to which this Lease is subordinate shall have the right (subject to any required approval of the holders of any superior Mortgage) at any time to declare this Lease to be superior to the lien, provisions, operation and effect of such Mortgage.
21.2 Tenant shall at Landlord’s request promptly execute any requisite document confirming such subordination. Tenant waives the provisions of any statute or rule of law now or hereafter in effect which may give or purport to give Tenant any right to terminate or otherwise adversely affect this Lease and Tenant’s obligations hereunder in the event any foreclosure proceeding is prosecuted or completed or in the event the Building, the Land or Landlord’s interest therein is transferred by foreclosure, by deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise. If this Lease is not extinguished upon any such transfer or by the transferee following such transfer, then, at the request of such transferee and assumption of Landlord’s obligations as required hereby, Tenant shall attorn to such transferee and shall recognize such transferee as the landlord under this Lease. Within fifteen (15) days after the request of such transferee, Tenant shall execute, acknowledge and deliver any requisite or appropriate document submitted to Tenant confirming such attornment.
21.3 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the foregoing, Landlord shall obtain for Tenant a non-disturbance agreement (recognizing Tenant’s rights under this Lease) from all current and future holders of any Mortgage encumbering the Building and/or the Land on such Mortgagee’s commercially reasonable standard form of nondisturbance agreement (the current Mortgagee’s form is attached hereto as Exhibit “G”), with such reasonable changes as the parties may negotiate in good faith.
ARTICLE XXII
HOLDING OVER
22.1 Tenant acknowledges that it is extremely important that Landlord have substantial advance notice of the date on which Tenant will vacate the Premises, and that if Tenant fails to surrender the Premises or any portion thereof at the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term, then it will be conclusively presumed that the value to Tenant of remaining in possession, and the loss that will be suffered by Landlord as a result thereof, far exceed the Base Rent and additional rent that would have been payable had the Lease Term continued during such holdover period. Therefore, if Tenant (or anyone claiming through Tenant) does not immediately surrender the Premises or any portion thereof upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term, then the rent payable by Tenant hereunder shall be increased to equal one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Base Rent, additional rent and other sums that would have been payable pursuant to the provisions of this Lease if the Lease Term had continued during such holdover period. Such rent shall be computed by Landlord and paid by Tenant on a monthly basis and shall be payable on the first day of such holdover period and the first day of each calendar month
-25-
Table of Contents
thereafter during such holdover period until the Premises have been vacated. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease, Landlord’s acceptance of such rent shall not in any manner adversely affect Landlord’s other rights and remedies, including Landlord’s right to evict Tenant and to recover all damages. Any such holdover shall be deemed to be a tenancy-at-sufferance and not a tenancy-at-will or tenancy from month-to-month. In no event shall any holdover be deemed a permitted extension or renewal of the Lease Term, and nothing contained herein shall be construed to constitute Landlord’s consent to any holdover or to give Tenant any right with respect thereto.
ARTICLE XXIII
COVENANTS OF LANDLORD
23.1 Landlord covenants that it has the right to enter into this Lease, and that Tenant shall during the Lease Term peaceably and quietly occupy and enjoy the full possession of the Premises (i.e., quiet enjoyment) without hindrance by Landlord, its employees or agents, subject to the terms, conditions and provisions of this Lease. No exercise of Landlord’s rights or remedies under this Lease in accordance with applicable Laws, including, without limitation, institution of eviction proceeds following an Event of Default, shall be construed to violate this provision.
23.2 Subject to other applicable terms and provisions expressly provided in this Lease, Landlord reserves the following rights: (a) to change the street address and name of the Building provided that Tenant’s access to the Premises is not permanently, materially and adversely affected; (b) to change the arrangement and location of entrances, passageways, doors, doorways, corridors, elevators, stairs, toilets or other public parts of, and make additions to, the Building provided that Tenant’s access to the Premises is not permanently, materially and adversely affected; (c) to erect, use and maintain pipes, wires, structural supports, ducts and conduits in and through the plenum areas of the Premises; (d) to grant to anyone the exclusive right to conduct any particular business in the Building not inconsistent with Tenant’s permitted use of the Premises; (e) to exclusively use and/or lease the roof areas, the sidewalks and other exterior areas; (f) to resubdivide the Land or to combine the Land with other lands; (g) to relocate any parking areas designated for Tenant’s use, provided the same are on the Land; (h) if Tenant vacates the Premises prior to the expiration of the Lease Term, to make Alterations to or otherwise prepare the Premises for reoccupancy without relieving Tenant of its obligation to pay all Base Rent, additional rent and other sums due under this Lease through such expiration; (i) to construct improvements (including kiosks) on the Land and in the public and Common Areas of the Building; (j) to prohibit smoking in the entire Building or portions thereof (including the Premises), so long as such prohibitions are in accordance with applicable law; and (k) if any excavation or other substructure work shall be made or authorized to be made upon land adjacent to the Building or the Land, to enter the Premises for the purpose of doing such work as is required to preserve the walls of the Building and to preserve the land from injury or damage and to support such walls and land by proper foundations. Subject to the other applicable terms and provisions expressly provided in this Lease, Landlord may exercise any or all of the foregoing rights without being deemed to be guilty of an eviction, actual or constructive, or a disturbance of Tenant’s business or use or occupancy of the Premises and Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord in connection therewith. With respect to (b), (c), (e), (g), (i) and (k) above, Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to minimize interference with Tenant’s normal business operations in the Premises (subject, however, in all cases to governmental requirements, emergencies and/or temporary maintenance and repair activities, and in no event shall Landlord have any obligation to employ contractors or labor at overtime or other premium pay rates or incur any other overtime costs). Notwithstanding any term, condition, or provision of this Section 23.2 to the contrary, in the event that the Landlord should elect to change the street address and name of the Building in accordance with subsection (a) above, (i) the Landlord will compensate the Tenant for all actual-out-of pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Tenant resulting from such address change including, without limitation, the costs of updating letterhead, business cards, and any advertising necessary to notify the public of the Tenant’s address change and (ii) the Landlord will not utilize the Tenant’s name in re-naming the Building.
ARTICLE XXIV
PARKING
24.1 Tenant shall have the right to utilize the Tenant’s Permit Allotment of the Building’s parking facilities on a non-exclusive and unreserved basis with other tenants of the Building for the parking of standard-sized passenger automobiles and upon such terms and conditions as may from time to time be established by Landlord. Landlord reserves the right in its absolute discretion to determine whether the parking facilities are becoming crowded and to allocate and assign parking spaces among Tenant and the other tenants. If Landlord, in its sole and absolute discretion, grants to any other tenant of the Building the exclusive right to use any particular parking spaces, then neither Tenant nor its employees or visitors shall use such spaces, but Tenant shall likewise be entitled to a number of reserved spaces, calculated at the same ratio of reserved to unreserved spaces as that granted to such other tenant. Tenant shall not use parking areas for the servicing or overnight storage of vehicles. Tenant shall not
-26-
Table of Contents
assign, sublet or transfer any rights with respect to the parking facilities. It is understood and agreed that Landlord assumes no responsibility, and shall not be held liable, for any damage or loss to any automobiles parked in the parking facilities or to any personal property located therein, or for any injury sustained by any person in or about the parking facilities. Landlord reserves the right to close the parking facilities during periods of unusually inclement weather or for repairs. Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant and this Lease shall not be affected if any parking rights hereunder are impaired by any Law imposed after the Lease Commencement Date.
ARTICLE XXV
GENERAL PROVISIONS
25.1 Tenant acknowledges that neither Landlord nor any broker, agent or employee of Landlord has made any representation or promise with respect to the Premises or any portion of the Building except as herein expressly set forth, and no right, privilege, easement or license is being acquired by Tenant except as herein expressly set forth.
25.2 Nothing contained in this Lease shall be construed as creating any relationship between Landlord and Tenant other than that of landlord and tenant, and no estate shall pass out of Landlord. Tenant shall not use the name of the Building for any purpose other than as the address of the business to be conducted by Tenant in the Premises, use the name of the Building as Tenant’s business address after Tenant vacates the Premises, or do or permit to be done anything in connection with Tenant’s business or advertising which in the reasonable judgment of Landlord may reflect unfavorably on Landlord or the Building or confuse or mislead the public as to any apparent connection or relationship between Landlord, the Building and Tenant. The Landlord shall not use the Tenant’s name in any advertisements or marketing materials for the Building without having first received the Tenant’s prior express written consent.
25.3 Landlord and Tenant each warrants to the other that in connection with this Lease it has not employed or dealt with any broker, agent or finder, other than the Brokers. It is understood that Landlord shall pay the Brokers pursuant to separate agreements. Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from and against any claim for brokerage or other commissions, or for a lien under any applicable broker’s lien law, asserted by any broker, agent or finder employed by Tenant or with whom Tenant has dealt, other than the Brokers. Landlord shall indemnify and hold Tenant harmless from and against any claim for brokerage or other commissions asserted by the Brokers and any other broker, agent or finder employed by Landlord or with whom Landlord has dealt. Tenant’s and Landlord’s indemnities set forth in this Section 25.3 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term.
25.4 At any time and from time to time, upon not less than ten (10) business days’ prior written notice, Tenant and each subtenant, assignee, licensee or concessionaire or occupant of Tenant shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord and/or any other person or entity designated by Landlord, a written statement certifying: (a) that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or if there have been modifications, that this Lease is in full force and effect as modified and stating the modifications); (b) the dates to which the rent and any other charges have been paid; (c) to Tenant’s knowledge, whether or not Landlord is in default in the performance of any obligation, and if so, specifying the nature of such default; (d) the address to which notices to Tenant are to be sent; (e) that this Lease is subject and subordinate to all Mortgages encumbering the Building or the Land; (f) that Tenant has accepted the Premises and that all work thereto has been completed (or if such work has not been completed, specifying the incomplete work); and (g) such other matters as Landlord may reasonably request. Any such statement may be relied upon by any owner of the Building or the Land, any prospective purchaser of the Building or the Land, any holder or prospective holder of a Mortgage or any other person or entity.

25.6 All notices or other communications required under this Lease shall be in writing and shall be deemed duly given and received when delivered in person (with receipt therefor), on the next business day after deposit with a recognized overnight delivery service, or on the second day after being sent by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, to the following addresses: (a) if to Landlord, at the Landlord Notice Address specified in Article I hereof; (b) if to Tenant, at the Tenant Notice Address specified in Article I hereof. Either party may change its address for the giving of notices by written notice given in accordance with this Section 25.6. If Landlord or the holder of any Mortgage notifies Tenant in writing that a copy of any notice to Landlord shall be sent to such holder at a specified address, then Tenant shall send (in the manner specified in this Section 25.6 and at the same time such notice is sent to Landlord) a copy of each such notice to such holder, and no such notice shall be considered duly sent unless such copy is so sent to such holder. Any such holder shall have thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice to cure any Landlord default before Tenant may exercise any remedy (provided that in the case of a Landlord default arising from an act or omission which cannot be reasonably remedied within said thirty (30) day period, then the holder of any Mortgage shall have as long as reasonably necessary to remedy such act or omission provided that (i) such holder commences such remedy and notifies Tenant within said thirty (30) day period of holder’s desire to remedy, and (ii) holder pursues completion of such remedy with due diligence following such giving of notice and following the time when holder should have become entitled under the Mortgage to remedy the same). Any cure of Landlord’s default by such holder shall be treated as performance by Landlord.
25.7 Each provision of this Lease shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. If any provision of this Lease or the application thereof to any person or circumstance shall to any extent be invalid or unenforceable, then such provision shall be deemed to be replaced by the valid and enforceable provision most substantively similar to such invalid or unenforceable provision, and the remainder of this Lease and the application of such provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is invalid or unenforceable shall not be affected thereby. Nothing contained in this Lease shall be construed as permitting Landlord to charge or receive interest in excess of the maximum rate allowed by law.
25.8 Feminine, masculine or neuter pronouns shall be substituted for those of another form, and the plural or singular shall be substituted for the other number, in any place in which the context may require such substitution.
25.9 The provisions of this Lease shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and each of their respective representatives, successors and assigns, subject to the provisions herein restricting assignment or subletting.
25.10 This Lease contains and embodies the entire agreement of the parties hereto and supersedes all prior agreements, negotiations, letters of intent, proposals, representations, warranties, understandings, suggestions and discussions, whether written or oral, between the parties hereto. Any representation, inducement, warranty, understanding or agreement that is not expressly set forth in this Lease shall be of no force or effect. This Lease may be modified or changed in any manner only by an instrument signed by both parties. This Lease includes and incorporates all exhibits, schedules and riders attached hereto. Tenant shall, at Landlord’s request, promptly execute any requisite document, certificate or instrument that is reasonably necessary or desirable to clarify or carry out the force and effect of any terms or conditions of, or obligation of Tenant under, this Lease.
25.11 This Lease shall be governed by the Laws of the jurisdiction in which the Building is located, without regard to the application of choice of law principles. There shall be no presumption that this Lease be construed more strictly against the party who itself or though its agent prepared it (it being agreed that all parties hereto have participated in the preparation of this Lease and that each party had the opportunity to consult legal counsel before the execution of this Lease). No custom or practice which may evolve between the parties in the administration of the terms of this Lease shall be construed to waive Landlord’s right to insist on Tenant’s strict performance of the terms of this Lease.
25.12 Headings are used for convenience and shall not be considered when construing this Lease.
25.13 The submission of an unsigned copy of this document to Tenant shall not constitute an offer or option to lease the Premises. This Lease shall become effective and binding only upon execution and delivery by both Landlord and Tenant.
25.14 Time is of the essence with respect to each of Tenant’s and Landlord’s obligations hereunder.
-28-

25.15 This Lease may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together constitute one and the same document. Faxed signatures shall have the same binding effect as original signatures.
25.16 Neither this Lease nor a memorandum thereof shall be recorded.
25.17 Landlord reserves the right to make reasonable changes and modifications to the plans and specifications for Building without Tenant’s consent, provided such changes or modifications do not materially and adversely change the character of same.
25.18 Except as otherwise provided in this Lease, any additional rent or other sum owed by Tenant to Landlord, and any cost, expense, damage or liability incurred by Landlord for which Tenant is liable, shall be considered additional rent payable pursuant to this Lease to be paid by Tenant no later than thirty (30) days after the date Landlord notifies Tenant of the amount thereof.
25.19 Tenant’s liabilities and obligations with respect to the period prior to the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term shall survive such expiration or earlier termination. Landlord’s liabilities and obligations with respect to refund of the security deposit or overpayments by Tenant of Real Estate Taxes or Operating Charges, if and to the extent required by the provisions of this Lease, shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
25.20 If Landlord or Tenant is in any way delayed or prevented from performing any obligation (except, with respect to Tenant, its obligations to pay rent and other sums due under this Lease, any obligation set forth in Exhibit “C” attached hereto and made a part hereof, any obligation with respect to insurance pursuant to Article XIII hereof, any obligation to give notice with respect to extensions, expansions or otherwise, and any holdover) due to fire, act of God, governmental act or failure to act, strike, labor dispute, inability to procure materials, or any cause beyond Landlord’s or Tenant’s (as applicable) reasonable control (whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing events), then the time for performance of such obligation shall be excused for the period of such delay or prevention and extended for a period equal to the period of such delay or prevention. No force majeure event shall excuse the timely payment of all items of rent by Tenant. Financial disability or hardship shall never constitute a force majeure event.
25.21 Landlord’s review, approval and consent powers (including the right to review plans and specifications) are for its benefit only. Such review, approval or consent (or conditions imposed in connection therewith) shall be deemed not to constitute a representation concerning legality, safety or any other matter.
25.22 The deletion of any printed, typed or other portion of this Lease shall not evidence the parties’ intention to contradict such deleted portion. Such deleted portion shall be deemed not to have been inserted in this Lease.
25.23 At the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord all keys and security cards to the Building and the Premises, whether such keys were furnished by Landlord or otherwise procured by Tenant, and shall inform Landlord of the combination of each lock, safe and vault, if any, in the Premises.
25.24 Tenant and the person executing and delivering this Lease on Tenant’s behalf each represents and warrants that such person is duly authorized to so act; that Tenant is duly organized, is qualified to do business in the jurisdiction in which the Building is located, is in good standing under the Laws of the state of its organization and the Laws of the jurisdiction in which the Building is located, and has the power and authority to enter into this Lease; that Tenant is not, and the entities or individuals constituting Tenant or which may own or control Tenant or which may be owned or controlled by Tenant are not, among the individuals or entities identified on any list compiled by the U.S. Government for the purpose of identifying suspected terrorists, and Tenant is not engaging in this transaction on behalf of any such individual or entity; that Tenant is not in violation of any anti-money laundering Law; and that all action required to authorize Tenant and such person to enter into this Lease has been duly taken.
25.25 Subject to the provisions of Section 10.1, any elimination or shutting off of light, air, or view by any structure which may be erected on lands adjacent to the Building, or any noise in connection with activities permitted by this Lease, shall in no way effect this Lease or impose any liability on Landlord.
25.26 Intentionally Omitted.
25.27 As an inducement to Landlord to enter into this Lease, Tenant hereby represents and warrants that: (i) Tenant is not, nor is it owned or controlled directly or indirectly by, any person, group, entity or nation named on any list issued by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the United States

Department of the Treasury (“OFAC”) pursuant to Executive Order 13224 or any similar list or any law, order, rule or regulation or any Executive Order of the President of the United States as a terrorist, “Specially Designated National and Blocked Person” or other banned or blocked person (any such person, group, entity or nation being hereinafter referred to as a “Prohibited Person”); (ii) Tenant is not (nor is it owned or controlled, directly or indirectly, by any person, group, entity or nation which is) acting directly or indirectly for or on behalf of any Prohibited Person; and (iii) from and after the effective date of the above-referenced Executive Order, Tenant (and any person, group, or entity which Tenant controls, directly or indirectly) has not knowingly conducted nor will knowingly conduct business nor has knowingly engaged nor will knowingly engage in any transaction or dealing with any Prohibited Person in violation of the U.S. Patriot Act or any OFAC rule or regulation, including, without limitation, any assignment of this Lease or any subletting of all or any portion of the Premises or the making or receiving of any contribution of funds, goods or services to or for the benefit of a Prohibited Person in violation of the U.S. Patriot Act or any OFAC rule or regulation.

ARTICLE XXVI
OPTION TO RENEW
26.1 Tenant shall have the right to extend the term of this Lease for one (1) additional five (5) year lease term (the “Renewal Term”), upon the following conditions:
a. Tenant has not been in default at any time during the Lease Term;
b. Tenant’s financial net worth is then equal to or greater than such worth as of the Lease Commencement Date;
c. Tenant has not previously assigned the entire Lease, except to an Affiliate of Tenant;
d. Tenant has delivered to Landlord written notice of its intention to exercise this option, not less than twelve (12) months prior to the end of the Lease Term; and
e. All lease terms for the Renewal Term shall be the same as in the Lease, except that the annual Base Rent for the Renewal Terms shall be the Fair Market Rent as of the commencement of the applicable Renewal Term, as determined in Subsection f below, and there shall be no further option to renew the Lease Term after the second Renewal Term. “Fair Market Rent”, as used in this Lease, shall be equal to the amount that a willing, comparable tenant would pay and a willing, comparable landlord of a comparable office building in the Bridgewater, New Jersey market (hereinafter referred to as the “Market”) would accept, in an arms’ length transaction, giving appropriate consideration to new base year, tenant improvements, brokerage commission and any other relevant terms and conditions materially affecting the Fair Market Rate.
f. The Fair Market Rate shall be determined as follows:
(i) For a period of thirty (30) days after receipt of Tenant’s notice, Landlord and Tenant shall negotiate in good faith the Fair Market Rate;
(ii) If the parties are unable to agree on the new Fair Market Rate, then Landlord and Tenant shall each select an appraiser in the person of an experienced real estate broker, each of whom must have at least ten (10) years commercial leasing experience in the New Jersey market (the “Market”), within forty (45) days after Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s notice;
(iii) The two appraisers shall confer to see if they can agree on the Fair Market Rate for space in the Market as of the time the Renewal Term is to begin; and, if they reach agreement, the rate upon which they agree shall become the new Base Rent for the first year of the Renewal Term;
(iv) If the two appraisers cannot reach agreement, then each shall designate the rate which he or she believes is the appropriate new Fair Market Rate. Unless either Landlord agrees to the rate specified by Tenant’s appraiser or vice versa, the two appraisers shall agree on a third appraiser, who shall have no less than the minimum experience required of the initial two appraisers, within fifteen (15) days after both appraisers have been designated; and
-30-
Table of Contents
(v) The third appraiser shall determine which of the two appraisals for the new Fair Market Rate more accurately represents the new Fair Market Rate which the third appraiser believes is the appropriate new Fair Market Rate. Upon such determination, the new Fair Market Rate selected by the third appraiser shall be used.
(vi) If Landlord or Tenant fails to comply with the time guidelines in this Section 26.1, then the Fair Market Rate submitted by the other shall automatically apply.
(vii) Each party shall bear the expense of its own appraiser and shall divide equally the expense of the third appraiser.
26.2 After the Appraisers establish the Fair Market Rent, the parties shall immediately execute an amendment to this Lease stating the new Base Rent for the Renewal Term. The renewal options are personal to Tenant and are non-transferable.
ARTICLE XXVII
RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER
27.1 Tenant shall have a one-time first right of offer to lease additional contiguous space on the fourth (4th) floor of the Building (hereinafter referred to as the “Additional Space”), provided:
a. This right of first offer is subordinate to the rights of (i) the current tenant in the Additional Space to renew, extend or otherwise negotiate a new lease or extension for the Additional Space; (ii) all future tenants which enter into a new lease for such space, to renew or extend their leases; and (iii) the rights of other tenants in the Building which exist prior to the date of this Lease;
b. Tenant has not been in default at any time during the Lease Term;
c. Tenant has not previously assigned the Lease or sublet more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the Premises;
d. Tenant’s financial net worth is then equal to or greater than such worth as of the Lease Commencement Date;
e. Tenant must lease all of the Additional Space offered; and
f. Tenant exercises its option as provided in this Section 27.1 by delivering to Landlord written notice of its intention within ten (10) business days after Landlord has notified Tenant that the Additional Space is available;
g. All terms of the lease of the Additional Space shall be upon those terms and conditions as are negotiated in good faith between the parties; provided, however, if Tenant expands the leased premises pursuant to this Article XXVII within twelve (12) months of the Lease Commencement Date, the terms of the lease of the Additional Space shall be upon the same per square foot terms as are contained in this Lease, except that Tenant shall receive a pro-rated Tenant Allowance and pro-rated Base Rent abatement;
g. Tenant executes an addendum or a new lease for the Additional Space within twenty (20) days after Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s notice to lease the Additional Space; and
h. This right of first offer must be exercised prior to the eighth (8th) anniversary of the Lease Commencement Date.
27.2 If Tenant fails to comply with each of the above conditions within the time specified, all time periods herein for Tenant being of the essence, then this right of first offer will lapse and be of no further force and effect, and Landlord shall have the right to lease all or any part of the Additional Space to a third party under the same or any other terms and conditions, whether or not such terms and conditions are more or less favorable than those offered to Tenant. This right of first offer to lease the Additional Space is personal to Tenant and is non-transferable.

WORK AGREEMENT
Terms used but not defined in this Exhibit shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Lease.
1. Tenant’s Authorized Representative. Tenant designates Xxxxx Xxxx LaSalle Project & Development Services (Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx and Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx) (hereinafter referred to as the “Tenant’s Authorized Representative”) as the person authorized to approve all budgets, plans, drawings and change orders pursuant to this Exhibit “C”. Landlord shall not be obligated to respond to or act upon any such item until such item has been approved in writing by Tenant’s Authorized Representative.
2. Landlord’s Work.
(a) Landlord, through its independent designated contractor, shall install in the Premises those improvements specified in the Approved Tenant Space Plan and Final Construction Drawings (collectively with any subsequent modifications or additions, hereinafter referred to as the “Landlord’s Work”). All Landlord’s Work shall be subject to a competitive bid process and fully transparent to Tenant and Tenant’s Representative. Prior to Landlord’s engagement of a General Contractor, Landlord and Tenant shall mutually agree on a final approved construction budget and key delivery dates. Except as set forth in this Exhibit “C”, Landlord shall not have any obligation whatsoever with respect to the finishing of the Premises for Tenant’s use and occupancy, and the Premises shall be delivered containing no improvements or property of any kind; provided, however, Landlord shall deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant on the Lease Commencement Date with all mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems serving the Premises in good working order and condition. Tenant shall pay all costs and expenses (including a construction management fee in the amount of two percent (2%) of the total cost of the initial buildout less any costs that Tenant has contracted directly for such as project management, design, furniture, wiring and cabling, etc.), incurred in connection with the Leasehold Improvements to the extent such costs and expenses (including, without limitation, all soft costs of the improvements, such as architects’ and consultants’ fees, voice and cabling costs) exceed an allowance (the “Allowance”) equal to the product of (a) Forty and 00/100 Dollars ($40.00), multiplied by (b) the number of square feet of rentable area in the Premises. After the Allowance has been expended towards the Landlord’s Work, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord on a monthly basis, as work is completed in conformity with Landlord’s contract with the general contractor. Landlord agrees to provide Tenant with monthly anticipated cost reports which shall include trade schedules. Tenant shall pay all such costs and expenses within ten (10) days after receipt of Landlord’s invoice therefore. All amounts payable pursuant to this Exhibit by Tenant shall be considered additional rent and are subject to the provisions of the Lease. Tenant shall not receive any credit, cash or otherwise, for any portion of the Allowance that is not used by the Lease Commencement Date.
(b) In addition to the Allowance, Landlord shall provide Tenant with a “Test-Fit Allowance” of up to Three Thousand Nine Hundred Ninety-Three and 70/100 Dollars ($3,993.70), to be applied toward the cost of the initial test-fitting of the Premises.
3. Schedule.
(a) If any plans and drawings are prepared by Landlord’s architect or engineer, such plans and drawings will be prepared on Tenant’s behalf and Tenant shall be solely responsible for the timely completion of all plans and drawings and for their compliance with all Laws. All of Tenant’s plans shall be prepared by a licensed architect and engineer approved by Landlord, shall be in a form sufficient to secure the approval of government authorities with jurisdiction over the approval thereof, and shall be otherwise satisfactory to Landlord.
(b) Tenant shall submit to Landlord a final space plan and all specifications, details, finishes (including paint and carpet selections), elevations and sections, all as approved by Tenant and Landlord (“Tenant’s Space Plan”), on or before July 31, 2012. Tenant’s Space Plan shall indicate partition layout, door location, special equipment types, floor load requirements exceeding eighty (80) pounds per square foot live load and twenty (20) pounds per square foot dead load, telephone and electrical outlet locations, and the seating capacity of all conference rooms.
(c) If required by Landlord in order to construct the work contemplated by this Exhibit, Tenant shall submit to Landlord final architectural, mechanical and engineering working drawings approved by Tenant and Landlord on or before September 7, 2012. Such architectural working drawings shall include: master legend, construction plan, reflected ceiling plan, telephone and electrical outlet
C-2
Table of Contents
layout, finish plan and all architectural details, elevations and specifications necessary to construct the Premises. Promptly after submission of the final architectural drawings, Landlord shall prepare, to the extent Landlord deems necessary, final engineering drawings and an estimation of the cost of providing the Leasehold Improvements.
(d) The deadlines specified in this Paragraph shall apply whether plans and drawings are prepared by Landlord’s architect or engineer or an architect or engineer selected by Tenant. All deadlines must be met in order to allow Landlord sufficient time to review plans and drawings, discuss with Tenant any changes thereto which Landlord believes to be necessary or desirable, and complete substantially the Premises within the time frame provided in Article III of the Lease. The parties intend for each such deadline to be the applicable deadline, even if any such deadline is before the date the Lease is executed.
4. Approval. All plans and drawings (and changes thereto) shall be subject to Landlord’s written approval. The Landlord shall review all such plans and drawings and shall provide the Tenant with either (a) its approval of such plans and drawings or (b) its comments to such plans and drawings within ten (10) days of submission of such plans and drawings to the Landlord (any subsequent approval or comments shall be provided within five (5) days of submission of revised plans). Such approval shall not constitute either (i) approval of any delay caused by Tenant or a waiver of any right or remedy that may arise as a result of such delay, or (ii) Landlord’s representation that such approved plans, drawings or changes comply with all Laws. Any deficiency in design or construction, although same had prior approval of Landlord, shall be solely the responsibility of Tenant.
5. Change Orders. If Tenant requests any change or addition to the work or materials to be provided by Landlord pursuant to this Exhibit after Tenant’s approval of the Approved Tenant Space Plan or the Final Construction Drawings, regardless of whether they are Tenant or field condition change orders, the parties shall review and approve all pricing before executing the work. Tenant agrees to advise Landlord within two (2) days of receipt of the pricing whether to proceed with the change order work or Landlord shall not be obligated to perform such change or addition. All associated general conditions and fees shall be equivalent to the rates and fees for the base scope of the project (2%). All additional expenses attributable to any change order requested by Tenant and approved by Landlord shall be payable by Tenant in accordance with paragraph 2(a) above. .

ATTACHED TO AND MADE A PART OF THAT CERTAIN OFFICE LEASE
AGREEMENT EXECUTED BY AND BETWEEN XXXXX REIT – BRIDGEWATER NJ,
LLC, AS LANDLORD, AND DENDREON CORPORATION, AS TENANT,
DATED JUNE , 2012
FORM SUBORDINATION, NON-DISTURBANCE AND ATTORNMENT AGREEMENT
Tenant’s Trade Name:
NOTICE: THIS SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT RESULTS IN YOUR LEASEHOLD ESTATE IN THE PROPERTY BECOMING SUBJECT TO AND OF LOWER PRIORITY THAN THE LIEN OF THE SECURITY DOCUMENTS (DEFINED BELOW).
THIS SUBORDINATION, NON-DISTURBANCE AND ATTORNMENT AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is made as of , 2 , by and between (“Tenant”), and U.S. BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, successor to Bank of America, N.A. (successor by merger to LaSalle Bank National Association), as Trustee for Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Capital I Inc., Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates Series 2004 – HQ4 (“Lender”).
R E C I T A L S
A. | (“Owner”) is the owner of the land and improvements commonly known as and more specifically described in Exhibit A attached hereto (“Property”). |
B. | Tenant is the lessee under a lease dated , 2 , executed by Owner (or its predecessor in interest), as landlord, and Tenant, as tenant (as the same may have been amended, the “Lease”), covering certain premises (the “Premises”) compromising all or a part of the Property. |
C. | Lender is the current holder of a mortgage loan (the “Loan”) previously made to Owner, evidenced by a note (the “Note”) and secured by, among other things: (a) a first mortgage, deed of trust or deed to secure debt encumbering the Property (the “Mortgage”); and (b) a first priority assignment of leases and rents on the Property (the “Assignment of Leases and Rents”) contained in the Mortgage or in a separate document. The Mortgage and the Assignment of Leases and Rents are collectively referred to as the “Security Documents.” The Note, the Security Documents and all other documents executed in connection with the Loan are collectively referred to as the “Loan Documents.” |
D. | Tenant has requested Lender’s agreement that if Lender forecloses the Mortgage or otherwise exercises Lender’s remedies under the Security Documents, Lender will not disturb Tenant’s right to quiet possession of the Premises under the terms of the Lease. |
E. | Lender is willing to so agree on the terms and conditions provided in this Agreement, including, without limitation, Tenant’s agreement to subordinate the Lease and attorn to Lender as provided herein. |
NOW, THEREFORE, for mutual consideration, including the mutual covenants and agreements set forth below, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:
1. | SUBORDINATION. The Lease is and shall remain unconditionally subject and subordinate to (a) the liens or charges imposed by the Security Documents, (b) all currently outstanding or future advances secured by the Security Documents, and (c) all renewals, amendments, modifications, consolidations, |
Table of Contents
replacements and extensions of the Security Documents. The subordination described herein is intended by the parties to have the same force and effect as if the Security Documents and such renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions of the Security Documents had been executed, acknowledged, delivered and recorded prior to the Lease and any amendments or modifications thereof. |
2. | NON-DISTURBANCE. If Lender exercises any of its rights under the Security Documents, including any right of entry on the Property pursuant to the Mortgage or upon a foreclosure of or deed in lieu of foreclosure of the Mortgage, Lender shall not disturb Tenant’s right of quiet possession of the Premises under the terms of the Lease, so long as Tenant is not in default under this Agreement or in default beyond any applicable grace period under the Lease. |
3. | ATTORNMENT. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Lease, should title to the Premises and the landlord’s interest in the Lease be transferred to Lender or any other person or entity by foreclosure of or deed in-lieu of foreclosure of the Mortgage, Tenant shall, for the benefit of Lender or such other person or entity, effective immediately and automatically upon the occurrence of any such transfer, attorn to Lender or such other person or entity as landlord under the Lease and shall be bound under all provisions of the Lease including, but not limited to, the obligation to pay all rent required to be paid by Tenant pursuant to the terms of the Lease, for the remainder of the Lease term. |
4. | PROTECTION OF LENDER. If Lender succeeds to the interest of landlord under the Lease, Lender shall not be: (a) liable for any act or omission of any previous landlord under the Lease; (b) subject to any offsets or defenses which Tenant may have against any previous landlord under the Lease; (c) bound by any payment of rent or additional rent which Tenant might have paid for more than one month in advance of the due date under the Lease to any previous landlord; (d) obligated to make any payment to Tenant which any previous landlord was required to make before Lender succeeded to the landlord’s interest; (e) accountable for any monies deposited with any previous landlord (including security deposits), except to the extent such monies are actually received by Lender; (f) bound by any amendment or modification of the Lease or any waiver of any term of the Lease made without Lender’s written consent; (g) bound by any surrender or termination of the Lease made without Lender’s written consent (unless effected unilaterally by Tenant pursuant to the express terms of the Lease); (h) obligated to complete any improvement or construction on the Property or to pay or reimburse Tenant for any tenant improvement allowance, construction allowance or leasing commissions; (i) liable for any default of any previous landlord under the Lease; (j) bound by any provision in the Lease granting Tenant a purchase option or first right of refusal or offer with regard to the Property. Furthermore, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or the Lease, upon any such succession, the Lease shall be deemed to have been automatically amended to provide that Lender’s obligations and liabilities under the Lease shall be limited solely to Lender’s interest, if any, in the Property, and the proceeds from any sale or disposition of the Property by Lender (collectively, “Lender’s Interest”) and, following such succession, Tenant shall look exclusively to Lender’s Interest for the payment or discharge of any obligations of Lender under the Lease. |
5. | LENDER’S RIGHT TO CURE. Tenant shall deliver to Lender a copy of any notice of any default(s) by landlord under the Lease in the same manner as, and whenever, Tenant shall give any such notice to Owner, and no such notice shall be deemed given to Owner unless and until a copy of such notice shall have been so delivered to Lender. Lender shall have the right to remedy, or cause to be remedied, any default by Owner under the Lease, and, for such purpose Tenant grants Lender such additional period of time as may be reasonable to enable Lender to remedy, or cause to be remedied, any such default in addition to the period given to Owner for remedying, or causing to be remedied, any such default. Tenant shall accept performance by Lender of any covenant or condition to be performed by Owner under the Lease with the same force and effect as though performed by Owner. No default by Landlord under the Lease shall exist or shall be deemed to exist (a) so long as Lender, in good faith, shall have commenced to cure such default within the above-referenced time period and shall be prosecuting the same to completion with reasonable diligence, subject to force majeure, or (b) if possession of the Premises is required in order to cure such default, or if such default is not susceptible of being cured by Lender, so long as Lender, in good faith, shall have notified Tenant that Lender intends to institute enforcement proceedings under the Security Documents, and, thereafter, so long as such proceedings shall have been instituted and shall be prosecuted with reasonable diligence. Lender shall have the right, without notice to Tenant or Tenant’s consent, to foreclose the Mortgage or to accept a deed in lieu of foreclosure of the Mortgage or otherwise realize upon the Mortgage or to exercise any other remedies under the Security Documents or state law. |

6. | ASSIGNMENT OF LEASES AND RENTS. Tenant consents to the Assignment of Leases and Rents and acknowledges Lender shall have no duty, liability or obligation whatsoever under the Lease or any extension or renewal thereof, either by virtue of said assignment or by any subsequent receipt or collection of rents thereunder, unless Lender shall specifically undertake such liability in writing or unless Lender or its designee or nominee becomes, and then only with respect to periods in which Lender or its designee or nominee becomes, the fee owner of the Premises. Upon Tenant’s receipt of a written notice from Lender of a default by Owner under the Loan, Tenant shall thereafter, if requested by Lender, pay rent to Lender in accordance with the terms of the Lease. Lender’s delivery of such notice to Tenant, or Tenant’s compliance therewith, shall not be deemed to (a) cause Lender to succeed to or assume any obligations or responsibilities of Owner under the Lease or (b) relieve Owner of any of its obligations under the Lease. |
7. | INSURANCE PROCEEDS AND CONDEMNATION AWARDS. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or the Lease, the terms of the Loan Documents shall continue to govern with respect to the disposition of any insurance proceeds or condemnation awards, and any obligations of Owner to restore the Property following a casualty or condemnation shall, insofar as they apply to Lender, be limited to the amount of any insurance proceeds or condemnation awards received by Lender after the deduction of all costs and expenses incurred in obtaining such proceeds or awards. Following the foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure of the Mortgage, the provisions of this section shall remain in full force and effect unless and until fee title to the Premises becomes vested in a person or entity other than (a) the holder of the Loan at the time of such foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure or (b) a parent, subsidiary or affiliate of such holder. |
8. | ASSIGNMENT OF LEASE BY TENANT. Tenant shall not assign any right or interest of Tenant under the Lease (except for an assignment that is permitted under the Lease without Owner’s consent), without Lender’s prior written consent. |
9. | MISCELLANEOUS. |
9.1 | Heirs, Successors and Assigns. The covenants herein shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the heirs, successors and assigns of the parties hereto. The term “Lender” as used herein includes any successor or assign of the named Lender herein, including without limitation, any co-lender at the time of making the Loan, any purchaser at a foreclosure sale and any transferee pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure, and their successors and assigns, trustees and agents, as well as any single purpose entity established by Lender to take title to the Property by reason of such foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure. The terms “Tenant” and “Owner” as used herein include any successor or assign of the named Tenant and Owner herein, respectively; provided, however, that such reference to Tenant’s or Owner’s successors and assigns shall not be construed as Lender’s consent to any assignment or other transfer by Tenant or Owner. |
9.2 | Addresses; Request for Notice. All notices and other communications that are required or permitted to be given to a party under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be sent to such party, either by personal delivery, by overnight delivery service, by certified first class mail, return receipt requested, or by facsimile transmission, to the address or facsimile number below.
