the Premises for a period of at least twelve (12) months. Such
policies shall be maintained in companies and in form reasonably
acceptable to Landlord and shall be written as primary policy
coverage and not contributing with, or in excess of, any coverage
which Landlord shall carry. Tenant shall provide the policy or
policies of such required insurance or certificates thereof to
Landlord upon its written request, which policies shall name
Landlord or its designee and, at the request of Landlord, its
mortgagees, as additional named insured and shall also contain a
provision stating that such policy or policies shall not be
canceled except after thirty (30) day's written notice to Landlord
or its designees. All such policies of insurance shall be effective
as of the Commencement Date and shall be maintained in force at all
times during the Lease Term. Any insurance required of Tenant
hereunder may be furnished by Tenant under a blanket policy carried
by it, provided that such blanket policy shall contain an
endorsement that names Landlord as an additional insured,
specifically references the Premises, and guarantees a minimum
limit available for the Premises equal to or greater than the
insurance amounts required under this Article.
In
addition to the foregoing insurance coverage, Tenant shall require
any contractor retained by it to perform work on the Premises to

comprehensive general liability insurance policy, including, but
not limited to, contractor's liability coverage, contractual
liability coverage, completed operations coverage, broad form
property damage endorsement and contractor's protective liability
coverage, to afford protection with limits per person and for each
occurrence, of not less than Two Hundred Thousand Dollars

In the
event of damage to or destruction of the Premises and the
termination of this Lease by Landlord pursuant to Section 18
herein, Tenant agrees that it shall pay Landlord all of its
insurance proceeds relating to improvements made in the Premises by
or on behalf of Tenant whether pursuant to the terms of Section 9,
or otherwise. If Tenant fails to comply with its covenants made in
this Section, if such insurance would terminate or if Landlord has
reason to believe such insurance is about to be terminated,
Landlord may at its option cause such insurance as it in its sole
judgment deems necessary to be issued, and in such event Tenant
agrees to pay promptly upon Landlord's demand, as additional rent
the premiums for such insurance.
12.2 Landlord's
Insurance. Landlord shall keep in force at its own expense (a)
contractual and comprehensive general liability insurance,
including public liability and property damage, with a minimum
combined single limit of liability of Two Million Dollars

in or about the Building and Premises, and (b) all-risk property
and casualty insurance written at replacement cost value covering
the Building and all of Landlord's improvements in and about
same.
12.3 Waiver
of Subrogation. Each party hereto waives claims arising in any
manner in its favor and against the other party and agrees that
neither party hereto shall be liable to the other party or to any
insurance company (by way of subrogation or otherwise) insuring the
other party for any loss or damage to the Building, the Premises or
other tangible property, or any resulting loss of income, or losses
under worker's compensation laws and benefits, or against liability
on or about the Building, even though such loss or damage might
have been occasioned by the negligence of such party, its agents or
employees if any such loss or damage is covered by insurance
benefiting the party suffering such loss or damage as was required
to be covered by insurance carried pursuant to this Lease. Landlord
shall cause each insurance policy carried by it insuring against
liability on or about the Building or insuring the Premises and the
Building or income resulting therefrom against loss by fire or any
of the casualties covered by the all-risk insurance carried by it
hereunder to be written in such a manner as to provide that the
insurer waives all right of recovery by way of subrogation against
Tenant in connection with any loss or damage covered by such
policies. Tenant shall cause each insurance policy carried by it
insuring against liability or insuring the Premises (including the
contents thereof and Tenant's Improvements installed therein by
Tenant or on its behalf) against loss by fire or any of the
casualties covered by the all-risk insurance required hereunder to
be written in such a manner as to provide that the insurer waives
all right of recovery by way of subrogation against Landlord in
connection with any loss or damage covered by such
policies.
12.4 Conduct
on Premises. Tenant shall not do, or permit anything to be
done in the Premises, or bring or keep anything therein which
shall, in any way, increase the rate of fire insurance on the
Building, or invalidate or conflict with the fire insurance
policies on the Building, fixtures or on property kept therein, or
obstruct or interfere with the rights of Landlord or of other
tenants, or in any other way injure or annoy Landlord or the other
tenants, or subject Landlord to any liability for injury to persons
or damage to property, or interfere with the good order of the
Building, or conflict with applicable laws, or the New Jersey Fire
Underwriters Rating Bureau, Tenant agrees that any increase of fire
insurance premiums on the Building or contents caused by the
occupancy of Tenant and any expense or cost incurred in consequence
of negligence or carelessness or the willful action of Tenant,
Tenant's employees, agents, servants, or invitees shall, as they
accrue be added to the rent heretofore reserved and be paid as
apart thereof; and Landlord shall have all the rights and remedies
for the collection of same as are conferred upon Landlord for the
collection of rent provided to be paid pursuant to the terms of
this Lease.

13.
Rules and
Regulations. Tenant shall be bound by the rules and
regulations set forth and made apart hereof. Landlord shall have
the right, from time to time, to issue additional or amended rules
and regulations regarding the use of the Building, so long as the
rules shall be reasonable and non-discriminatory between tenants.
When so issued and after ten (10) business days' notice to Tenant,
the same shall be considered a part of this Lease and Tenant
covenants that the additional or amended rules and regulations
shall likewise be faithfully observed by Tenant, and shall use its
reasonable efforts to insure that such rules and regulations shall
be observed by the employees, clients and service providers of
Tenant, provided, that the additional or amended rules are made
applicable to all office tenants similarly situated as Tenant.
Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for the violation of any of
the rules and regulations, or the breach of any covenant or
condition in any lease, by any other tenant in the

shall discharge, or bond within sixty (60) days after the date of
filing, any mechanics' liens filed against Tenant's interest in the
Premises, or any part thereof, purporting to be for labor or
material furnished or to be furnished to Tenant. Landlord shall not
be liable for any labor or materials furnished or to be furnished
to Tenant upon credit, and no mechanics' or other lien for labor or
materials shall attach to or affect the reversionary or other
estate or interest of Landlord in and to the Premises, or the
Property.
16.
Tenants Failure to
Repair. In the
event that Tenant fails after thirty (30) days' prior written
notice from Landlord (or fails to commence to cure within thirty
(30) days and diligently prosecute the completion if such repair is
not capable of cure within thirty (30) days), to keep the Premises
in a good state of condition and repair pursuant to Section 10
above, or to do any act or make any payment required under this
Lease or otherwise fails to comply herewith, Landlord may, at its
option (but without being obliged to do so) immediately, or at any
time thereafter and without notice, perform the same for the
account of Tenant, including the right to enter upon the Premises
at all reasonable hours to make such repairs, or do any act or make
any payment or compliance which Tenant has failed to do, and upon
demand, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any such expense
incurred by Landlord including but not limited to any costs,
damages and counsel fees. Any moneys expended by Landlord, as
aforesaid, shall be deemed additional rent, collectible as such by
Landlord. All rights given to Landlord in this Section shall be in addition to
any other right or remedy of Landlord herein
contained.
17.
Eminent
Domain. If (1) the whole or more than fifty percent (50%) of
the floor area of the Premises shall be taken or condemned by
Eminent Domain for any public or quasi-public use or purpose, and
either Landlord or Tenant shall elect, by giving written notice to
the other, or (2) more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the
rentable floor area of the Building shall be so taken, and Landlord
elects to terminate the leases allocable to at least 25% of the
rentable area of the Building, and Landlord shall elect, in its
sole discretion, by giving written notice to Tenant, any written
notice to be given not more than sixty (60) days after the date on
which title shall vest in such condemnation proceeding, to
terminate this Lease, then, in either such event, the Term of this
Lease shall cease and terminate as of the date of title vesting. In
case of any taking or condemnation, whether or not the Term of this
Lease shall cease and terminate, the entire award shall be the
property of Landlord, and Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord all its
right, title and interest in and to any such award, except that
Tenant shall be entitled to claim, prove and receive in the
proceedings such awards as may be allowed for moving expenses, loss
of profit and fixtures and other equipment installed by it which
shall not, under the terms of this Lease, be or become the property
of Landlord at the termination hereof, but only if such awards
shall be made by the condemnation, court or other authority in
addition to, and be stated separately from, the award made by it
for the Property or part thereof so taken .

18.
Fire and Other
Casualty. In case of partial damage to the Premises by fire
or other casualty insured against by Landlord, Tenant shall give
immediate notice thereof to Landlord, who shall thereupon cause
damage to all property owned by it to be repaired with reasonable
speed at expense of Landlord, due allowance being made for
reasonable delay which may arise by reason of adjustment of loss
underinsurance policies on the part of Landlord and or Tenant, and
for reasonable delay on account of "labor troubles" or any other
cause beyond Landlord's reasonable control, and to the extent that
the Premises are rendered untenantable the rent shall
proportionately xxxxx from the date of such casualty, provided the
damage above mentioned occurred without the fault or neglect of
Tenant, Tenant's servants, employees, agents or visitors. If such
partial damage is due to the fault or neglect of Tenant, or
Tenant's servants, employees, agents, clients or service providers,
the damage shall be repaired by Landlord to the extent of
Landlord's insurance coverage, but there shall be no apportionment
or abatement of rent. In the event the damage shall be so extensive
to the whole Building as to render it uneconomical, in Landlord's
reasonable opinion, to restore for its present uses and Landlord
shall decide not to repair or rebuild the Building, this Lease, at
the option of Landlord, shall be terminated upon written notice to
Tenant and the rent shall, in such event, be paid to or adjusted as
of the date of such damage, and the terms of this Lease shall
expire by lapse of time and conditional limitation upon the third
day after such notice is mailed, and Tenant shall thereupon vacate
the Premises and surrender the same to Landlord and such
termination shall release Tenant.
19.
Property Loss or
Damage. Landlord, its agents and employees shall not be
liable to Tenant for (i) any damage or loss of property of Tenant
placed in the custody of persons employed to provide services for
or stored in or about the Premises and/or the Building, unless such
damage or loss is the result of the willful misconduct of Landlord,
its agents, contractors or employees, (ii) any injury or damage to
persons, property or the business of Tenant resulting from a latent
defect in the condition of the Building, and (iii) interference
with the light, air, or other incorporeal hereditaments of the
Premises.
20.
Assignment and
sublease. So long as Tenant is not in monetary default of
any of the terms and conditions hereof, and further provided that
Tenant has fully and faithfully performed all material terms and
conditions of this Lease, Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold,
condition or delay its consent to an assignment of this Lease or
sublease of the Premises for any of the then remaining portion of
the unexpired Lease Term provided: (i) the assignee shall assume
the obligations of the existing Letter of Credit or provide a
substitute letter of credit reasonably acceptable to Landlord and
the net assets of the assignee or sublessee shall not be less than
the net assets of Tenant at the time of the signing of this Lease;
(ii) in the event of an assignment, such assignee shall assume in
writing all of Tenant's obligations under this Lease for the
remainder of the Lease Term; and (iii) in the event of a sublease,
such sublease shall in all respects be subject to and in
conformance with the terms of this Lease. If this Lease be
assigned, or if the Premises or any part thereof be underlet or
occupied by anybody other than Tenant, Landlord may, after default
by Tenant, collect rent from the assignee, undertenant or occupant
and apply the net amount collected to the rent herein reserved, but
no such collection shall be deemed a waiver of this covenant, or
the acceptance of the assignee, undertenant or occupant as tenant,
or a release of Tenant from the further observance and performance
by Tenant of the covenants herein contained. In addition, in the
event of a proposed assignment, Landlord shall have the right, but
not the obligation, to terminate this Lease by giving Tenant thirty
(30) days' advance written notice ("Landlord's Termination
Notice"); provided, however, that Tenant shall have the right to
abrogate Landlord's Termination Notice by notifying Landlord within
ten (10) business days after receipt of Landlord's Termination
Notice of the withdrawal of the consent to the assignment. For
purposes of the foregoing, a transfer by operation of law or
transfer of controlling interest in Tenant as same exists as of the
date hereof, shall be deemed to be an assignment of this Lease.
Landlord's acceptance of any name submitted by Tenant, an agent of
Tenant, or anyone acting by, through or under Tenant for the
purpose of being listed on the Building directory will not be
deemed, nor will it substitute for, Landlord's consent, as required
by this Lease, to any sublease, assignment, or other occupancy of
the Premises by anyone other than Tenant or Tenant's employees.
Fifty percent (50%) of any net profit or additional consideration
or rent (taking into consideration the costs incurred by Tenant to
sublease or assign the Premises, including, without limitation,
brokerage commissions, reasonable legal fees and remodeling costs)
in excess of the Base Rent or Additional Rent payable by Tenant
hereunder which is payable to Tenant as a result of any assignment
or subletting shall be paid to Landlord as Additional Rent when
received by Tenant. All the foregoing notwithstanding, Tenant shall
not enter into any lease, sublease, license, concession or other
agreement for the use, occupancy or utilization of the Premises or
any portion thereof, which provides for a rental or other payment
for such use, occupancy or utilization based in whole or in part on
the income or profits derived by any person or entity from the
property leased, used, occupied or utilized. Any such purported
lease, sublease, license, concession or other agreement shall be
absolutely void and ineffective as a conveyance of any right or
interest in the possession, use or occupancy of any part of the
Premises. Any consent by Landlord hereunder shall not constitute a
waiver of strict future compliance by Tenant with the provisions of
this Section.

Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, Tenant shall have the right to
assign the Lease or sublet all or a portion of the Premises to a
parent, affiliate or subsidiary, or related company, or to a
successor-in-interest resulting from a merger, consolidation, joint
venture or reorganization, or to any entity which acquires all or
substantially all of Tenant's interest, without obtaining
Landlord's consent, provided that (i) to the extent that Tenant
continues to exist after such corporate event or reorganization,
Tenant shall remain liable under the terms hereof, and (ii) Tenant
notifies Landlord in advance of such event and delivers to Landlord
written evidence that such new entity assumes all of the
liabilities and obligations hereunder.
21.
Event of
Default. Any one or more of the following events shall
constitute an "Event of Default" hereunder, at Landlord's
election:
(a)
the sale of
Tenant's interest in the Premises under attachment, execution or
similar legal process or, the adjudication of Tenant as a bankrupt
or insolvent, unless such adjudication is vacated within ninety
(90) days;
(b)
the filing of a
voluntary petition proposing the adjudication of Tenant (or any
guarantor of Tenant's obligations hereunder) as a bankrupt or
insolvent, or the reorganization of Tenant (or any such guarantor),
or an arrangement by Tenant (or any such guarantor) with its
creditors, whether pursuant to the Federal Bankruptcy Code or any
similar federal or state proceeding, unless such petition is filed
by a party other than Tenant (or any such guarantor) and is
withdrawn or dismissed within ninety (90) days after the date of
its filing;
(c)
the admission, in
writing, by Tenant (or any such guarantor) of its inability to pay
its debts when due;
(d)
the appointment of
a receiver or trustee for the business or property of Tenant (or
any such guarantor), unless such appointment is vacated within
ninety (90) days of its entry;
(e)
the making by
Tenant (or any such guarantor) of an assignment for the benefit of
its creditors, or if, in any other manner, Tenant's interest in
this Lease shall pass to another by operation of law;
(f)
the failure of
Tenant to pay, more than once in any calendar year, any rent,
additional rent or other sum of money when due and such failure
continues for a period of seven (7) days after receipt of written
notice that the same is past due hereunder;
(g)
Tenant shall fail
to move into or take possession of the Premises within thirty (30)
days after the Commencement Date or having taken possession shall
thereafter abandon and/or vacate the Premises, unless it continues
to pay the then prevailing rent; and
(h)
the default by
Tenant in the performance or observance of any covenant or
agreement of this Lease (other than a default involving the payment
of money), which default is not cured within thirty (30) days after
the giving of notice thereof by Landlord, unless such default is of
such nature that it cannot be cured within such thirty (30) day
period, in which case no Event of Default shall occur so long as
Tenant shall commence the curing of the default within such thirty
(30) day period and shalt thereafter diligently prosecute the
curing of same.

22.
Landlord’s
Remedies. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default,
Landlord at any time thereafter may, at its option, exercise any
one or more of the following remedies:
(a) terminate
this Lease, by written notice to Tenant, without any right by
Tenant to reinstate its rights by payment of rent due or other
performance of the terms and conditions hereof. Upon such
termination Tenant shall immediately surrender possession of the
Premises to Landlord, and Landlord shall immediately become
entitled to receive from Tenant an amount equal to the difference
between the aggregate of all Base Rent and additional rent reserved
under this Lease for the balance of the Lease Term.
(b) at
Landlord's option, with or without terminating this Lease, enter
upon the Premises and remove any and all persons therefrom and take
and retain possession thereof by any legal means available to
Landlord, including summary dispossess proceedings. If Landlord
elects to terminate Tenants right to possession only, without
terminating the Lease, Landlord may, at the Landlord's option,
enter into the Premises, remove Tenant's signs and other evidences
of tenancy, and take and hold possession thereof as hereinabove
provided, without such entry and possession terminating the Lease
or releasing Tenant, in whole or in part, from Tenant's obligations
to pay the rent hereunder for the full term or for any other of its
obligation under this Lease. Landlord may, but will not be under
obligation to, relet all or any part of the Premises in any manner,
for any term, for such rent and upon terms satisfactory to Landlord
and may decorate or make any repairs, changes, alterations or
additions in or to the Premises that may be necessary or
convenient. If Landlord does not relet the Premises, Tenant will
pay the Landlord on demand all amounts due from Tenant to Landlord
under this Lease for the remainder of the Lease Term. If the
Premises are relet, Tenant shall pay any excess of the rent over
the actual proceeds of such reletting, net of all expenses,
including repairs or construction costs and leasing commissions.
Landlord and Tenant agree that Landlord shall have no obligation to
mitigate Landlord's damages under this Lease. If the Premises are
at the time of any Event of Default sublet or leased by Tenant to
others, Landlord may, as Tenant's agent, collect rents due from any
subtenant or other tenant and apply such rents to the rent and
other amounts due hereunder without in any way affecting Tenants
obligation to Landlord hereunder. Such agency, being given for
security, is hereby declared to be irrevocable.
(c)
declare Base Rent and all items of additional rent (the amount
thereof
to be
based on historical amounts and Landlord's estimates for future
amounts) for the entire balance of the then current Lease Term
immediately due and payable, together with all other charges,
payments, costs, and expenses payable by Tenant as though such
amounts were payable in advance on the date the Event of Default
occurred.
(d)
remove all persons and property from the Premises, and store such
property in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost of and for
the account of Tenant, without service of notice or resort to legal
process (all of which Tenant expressly waives) and without being
deemed guilty of trespass or becoming liable for any loss or damage
which may be occasioned thereby.

(e)
No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to Landlord is
intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every
right and remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any other
right or remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law
or equity. Without limitation of the foregoing, Landlord shall be
entitled to injunctive relief in case of the violation, or
attempted or threatened violation, of any covenant, agreement,
condition or provision of this Lease, or to a decree compelling
performance of any covenant, agreement, condition or provision of
this Lease, or to any other remedy allowed by law or
equity.
If
proceedings shall be commenced by Landlord to recover possession of
the Premises, either at the end of the Lease Term or upon the
earlier termination of this Lease, or for non-payment of rent or
any other reason, Tenant specifically waives the right to any
notices now or hereafter required by law, and agrees that no
notices other than those set forth in this Lease shall be
required.
No
expiration or termination of the Lease Term by operation of law or
otherwise (except as expressly provided herein), and no
repossession of the Premises or any part thereof shall relieve
Tenant of its liabilities and obligations hereunder, all of which
shall survive such expiration, termination or repossession, and
Landlord may, at its option, xxx for and collect all rent and other
charges due hereunder at any time as and when such charges
accrue.
Tenant
hereby expressly waives any and all rights of redemption granted by
or under any present or future law in the event this Lease is
terminated, or in the event of Landlord obtaining possession of the
Premises, or in the event Tenant is evicted or dispossessed for any
cause, by reason of violation by Tenant of any of the provisions of
this Lease The receipt by Landlord of any rent or other sum payable
hereunder, with knowledge of the breach of any covenant or
agreement (other than the prior failure to pay such rent or other
sum) shall not constitute a waiver or cure of such breach or
prevent Landlord from exercising any of its rights or remedies
hereunder on account of Tenant's breach.
In the
event that Landlord commences suit for the repossession of the
Premises, for the recovery of rent or any other amount due under
the provisions of this Lease, or because of the breach of any other
covenant herein contained on the part of Tenant to be kept or
performed, and a breach shall be established, Tenant shall pay to
Landlord all expenses incurred in connection therewith, including
reasonable attorneys’ fees.
TO THE
EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, TENANT HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL
RIGHTS OF REDEMPTION, GRANTED BY OR UNDER ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE
LAWS IN THE EVENT OF TENANT'S BEING EVICTED OR DISPOSSESSED FOR ANY
CAUSE, OR IN THE EVENT OF LANDLORD'S OBTAINING POSSESSION OF THE
PREMISES, BY REASON OF THE VIOLATION BY TENANT OF ANY OF THE
COVENANTS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS LEASE, OR OTHERWISE. LANDLORD AND
TENANT HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR
PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM BROUGHT BY EITHER PARTY HERETO AGAINST
THE OTHER PARTY ON ANY AND EVERY MATTER, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY
ARISING OUT OF OR WITH RESPECT TO THIS LEASE, INCLUDING, WITHOUT
LIMITATION, THE RELATIONSHIP OF LANDLORD AND TENANT, THE USE AND
OCCUPANCY BY TENANT OF THE PREMISES, ANY STATUTORY REMEDY AND/OR
CLAIM OF INJURY OR DAMAGE REGARDING THIS LEASE.
