(i) The Comdisco Lease and the Lease Amendment shall and are hereby amended and restated in
their entirety by this Lease effective as of the Effective Date, and the Comdisco Lease and Lease
Amendment shall be null and void from and after the Effective Date.
(ii) Landlord hereby leases to Tenant, and Tenant hereby leases from Landlord, those certain

lot with all improvements thereon, subject to the existing easement for ingress and egress in
common with adjacent premised known as 000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx, Xxx Xxxxxx are
hereinafter referred to as the “Demised Premises”), all as more particularly depicted on Schedule
“A” annexed hereto.
TO HAVE AND TO HOLD the premises for a term of twenty (20) years (the “Initial Term”) which
commenced on October 1, 2000 (the “Commencement Date”), and which shall end on September 30, 2020
(the “Termination Date”). The period from the Commencement Date through the final date of the
Initial Term as extended by the first and/or second renewal options under Section 40 of this Lease
is hereinafter referred to as the “Term.”
IN CONSIDERATION OF THE FOREGOING, and of the mutual promises, agreements, conditions,
covenants and terms herein set forth, the Landlord and the Tenant further covenant and agree as
follows:
1. Commencement Date of Term: The term hereof commenced on October 1, 2000 (the
“Commencement Date”).
2. Rent:
2.1 Fixed Rent:
(a) The Fixed Rent payable to Landlord from the Commencement Date hereof through September 30,
2015 is unchanged from the Existing Lease and is set forth at Schedule “C”. The parties hereto
acknowledge and agree that Tenant has paid all such Fixed Rent through and including September 30,
2009.
(b) From and after the October 1, 2015, and for the balance of the Initial Term, the Tenant
hereby agrees to pay to the Landlord Fixed Rent for the Premises as set forth on Schedule “C-1”.
- 6 -
All such Fixed Rent shall be in cash or check, lawful money of the United States of America,
payable in monthly installments on the first day of each and every month, in advance, throughout
the term of this Lease. The Fixed Rent shall be paid at the office of the Landlord set forth above
on the first page of this Lease, or at such other place as may hereafter be designated by the
Landlord. Fixed Rent shall be paid to the Landlord without notice or demand and without deduction,
set-off or other charge, except as may otherwise be provided for herein. The total aggregate Fixed
Rent for the Demised Premises over the portion of the Initial Term from the Effective Date to the
Termination Date is. The parking spaces are being provided to Tenant at no additional charge.
2.2 Except as otherwise specifically provided for herein, any sums due the Tenant from the
Landlord under any of the provisions of this Lease, or arising from or out of the Landlord’s
failure to comply with, or perform any of the terms of this Lease, shall in all cases be enforced
by Tenant by means other than deduction from Fixed Rent or Additional Rent (Fixed Rent and
Additional Rent are referred to collectively in this Lease as “Rent”). No payment by Tenant or
receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount than any payment of Fixed Rent or Additional Rent herein
stipulated shall be deemed to be other than on account of the earliest stipulated such Rent then
due and payable.
2.3 If checks issued by Tenant shall be dishonored a late charge shall apply and if checks are
dishonored on two (2) or more occasions within any six (6) month period, Landlord may require, by
giving written notice to Tenant that all future Rent payments are to be made by cash, cashier’s
check, or money order, and that the delivery of Tenant’s personal or corporate check will no longer
constitute a payment of Rent as provided in this Lease. Any acceptance of personal or corporate
check thereafter by Landlord shall not be construed as a subsequent waiver of said rights except as
to the check so accepted.
2.4 If any installment of Rent or any sum due from Tenant, under this or any other agreement
between Landlord and Tenant, shall not be received by Landlord or Landlord’s designee from Tenant
within ten (10) days after said amount is due, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late charge
equal to five percent (5%) of the amount past due, plus any reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by
Landlord by reason of Tenant’s failure to pay Rent and/or other charge when due hereunder.
Acceptance of such late charge by the Landlord shall in no event constitute a waiver of Tenant’s
default with respect to such overdue amount, nor prevent Landlord from exercising any of the other
rights and remedies granted hereunder, unless accompanied by the applicable installment of rent or
other sum due. The aforesaid late charge may be repeated each month that the same Rent or charge
remains unpaid.
3. Additional Rent.
3.1 Tenant shall be responsible to pay as Additional Rent hereunder all taxes, costs, charges,
maintenance, and operational expenses associated with the Demised Premises together with all
interest and penalties that may accrue thereon in the event of the Tenant’s failure to pay such
amounts, and all damages, costs and expenses which the Landlord may incur by reason of any default
of the Tenant or failure on the Tenant’s part to comply with the terms of this Lease, except those
specifically allocated to Landlord under Article 5 of this Lease. Therefore, and without
limitation, commencing at the Effective Date, Tenant shall continue to
- 7 -
pay to Landlord One Hundred percent (100%) of the total costs of the following items, herein
called “Additional Rent”:
A. All real estate taxes on the land, as more fully described on Schedule “B” attached hereto
and made a part hereof (the “Land”), site improvements and the Building comprising the Demised
Premises. Said real estate taxes shall include all real estate taxes and assessments that are
levied upon and/or assessed against the Demised Premises, including any taxes which may be levied
on rents, except that as to assessments, Landlord shall elect to pay same over the longest period
permitted by law and only the current year’s installment, including interest, shall be added into
Tenant’s calculation. In addition, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for Landlord’s reasonable costs
incurred in appealing taxes and/or assessments on Demised Premises, including reasonable legal
fees, expert witness fees and other proper costs but Tenant will not be liable to pay a
reimbursement in excess of any actual tax savings resulting from such an appeal. If any such
appeal is successful, any recovery net of such expenses shall be credited (proportionately) to
Tenant’s obligation hereunder. Except during the final three (3) years of the then Term, Tenant
shall have the right to appeal tax assessments on the Demised Premises at Tenant’s sole cost and
expense; and if any such tax appeal is unsuccessful or if it results in an increase in real estate
taxes, Tenant shall bear all such costs, attorneys fees and tax increases during the Term.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the foregoing taxes shall specifically exclude income taxes assessed
against the Landlord, franchise taxes, estate taxes, sales taxes, corporate income taxes, capital
stock taxes, employment benefit taxes, social security taxes, worker’s compensation taxes, capital
levy, succession, inheritance, or transfer taxes payable by the Landlord, corporate franchises,
capital stock, loans and bonus taxes imposed upon any owner of the Land, any late fees, penalties
or interest with respect to the payment of any such taxes, and any income, profits or revenue tax.
Landlord hereby agrees to pay all such taxes so as to include and obtain any applicable discount
for early payment.
B. All premiums and deductible costs paid by Landlord for the Demised Premises only associated
with Insurance (as described in Articles 11.3 and 11.4 below).
C. All costs incurred by Landlord pursuant to this Lease to maintain, repair and replace
exterior walls, structural steel, foundations, roof, landscaped areas, parking and loading areas
including driveways, sidewalks and curbs (including snow and ice removal from parking and exterior
loading areas and sidewalks) and site drainage facilities and other areas within the Land which are
not the responsibility of Tenant to maintain, repair and replace under this Lease. There shall
also be included any parking charges, utilities surcharges, COAH development fees or any other
costs levied, assessed or imposed by, or at the direction of, or resulting from statutes or
regulations, or interpretations thereof, promulgated by any governmental authority in connection
with the expansion, renovation, use or occupancy of the Demised Premises or the Parking Lot by or
on behalf of Tenant (as defined in Article 43 below) from and after the Effective Date. Any and
all such replacement costs shall be amortized over the useful economic life of such improvements.
D. On or about the Effective Date, Landlord shall submit to Tenant a statement of the
anticipated monthly Additional Rent for the period between the Effective Date, and the following
December 31, and Tenant shall pay this Additional Rent on a monthly basis concurrently with the
payment of the Fixed Rent. Tenant shall continue to make said monthly
- 8 -
payments until notified by Landlord of a change thereof. By March 1 of each calendar year
(commencing in 2010), Landlord shall use its best efforts to give Tenant a statement showing the
total Additional Rent for the Demised Premises for the prior calendar year (an “Operating Expense
Statement”). Landlord shall also submit to Tenant by separate invoice not less often than annually
a statement documenting any unanticipated charges relating to the repair of the common driveway
area shared with 000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx, Xxx Xxxxxx, and the charges relating to the
Private Communications Ductbank (described in Section 32.2 below), and Tenant shall pay its
proportionate share thereof within thirty (30) days after presentation thereof.
E. In the event the total of the monthly payments which Tenant has made for the prior calendar
year be less than the Tenant’s actual share of such Additional Rent, then Tenant shall pay the
difference in a lump sum within thirty (30) days after receipt of such statement from Landlord and
shall concurrently pay the difference between the total previous monthly payments made in the then
calendar year and the total of monthly payments calculated as Additional Rent based on the prior
year’s experience. Any overpayment by Tenant shall be credited towards the Fixed Rent and/or
Additional Rent next coming due. The actual Additional Rent for the prior year shall be used for
purposes of calculating the anticipated monthly Additional Rent for the then current year with
actual determination of such Additional Rent after each calendar year as above provided. Even
though the term has expired and Tenant has vacated the Demised Premises, when the final
determination is made of Tenant’s share of said Additional Rent for the year in which this Lease
terminates, Tenant shall pay any increase due over the estimated Additional Rent previously paid
within thirty (30) days after demand, and, conversely, any overpayment made shall be immediately
rebated by Landlord to Tenant within thirty (30) days after such notice to Tenant, and this
provision shall survive termination for said purpose. Failure of Landlord to submit Operating
Expense Statements to Tenant as called for herein within six (6) months after the end of any
applicable lease year or one (1) year from the expiration of the Initial Term, or any renewal term,
as the case may be, shall be deemed to be a waiver of Tenant’s requirement to pay sums as herein
provided. In addition, Tenant shall not be responsible or liable for the payment of any amount
which should have been included in an Operating Expense Statement as Additional Rent for a
particular calendar year that was not so included. The term “lease year” as used throughout this
Lease shall mean: (a) as to the period from January 1, 2009 through September 30, 2015, a calendar
year, i.e. January 1 to December 31 of each calendar year; and (b) as to the period from October 1,
2015 through the balance of the Initial Term and through each of the renewal option terms, if
exercised, a period from October 1 to September 30 of the following calendar year.
F. Each Operating Expense Statement shall be conclusive and binding upon Tenant unless, within
one hundred twenty (120) days after receipt of such Operating Expense Statement, Tenant shall
notify Landlord that it disputes the correctness of the Operating Expense Statement, specifying the
particular respects in which said Operating Expense Statement is claimed to be incorrect. Tenant,
or an independent certified public accountant who is hired by Tenant on a non-contingency fee basis
and who offers a full range of accounting services, shall have the right, during regular business
hours, to review Landlord’s invoices relating to the disputed items of operating expenses for the
immediately preceding lease year; or at Landlord’s sole discretion and in lieu of such review,
Landlord will provide Tenant with an audited statement. Tenant shall (and shall cause its
employees, agents and consultants to) keep the results of any such review or audited statement
strictly confidential. If such review or audited statement shows that the estimated payments by
Tenant on account of operating
- 9 -
expenses exceeded the amounts to which Landlord is entitled hereunder for the immediately
preceding lease year, Landlord shall credit or refund the amount of such excess as provided herein.
In addition, if the Operating Expense Statement overstated the actual operating expenses by five
percent (5%) or more, then Landlord shall pay to Tenant the reasonable and necessary fees and costs
associated with such audit. If Tenant shall dispute an Operating Expense Statement, pending the
determination of such dispute, Tenant shall pay the estimated payments claimed by Landlord to be
due from Tenant on account of operating expenses in accordance with the applicable Operating
Expense Statement, without prejudice to Tenant’s position. All costs and expenses of such review
or audited statement shall be paid by Tenant except as otherwise specifically provided for in this
Section 3.1 F. If Tenant does not notify Landlord in writing of any objection to any Operating
Expense Statement within one hundred twenty (120) days after receipt thereof, then Tenant shall be
deemed to have waived such objection.
3.2 Anything in Section 3.1 to the contrary notwithstanding, Additional Rent shall not
include: (i) depreciation on the Building or the parking facilities or equipment therein; (ii)
salaries of employees and executives above the grade of building manager; (iii) real estate
broker’s and/or leasing commissions to agents of Landlord or to other persons or brokers; (iv)
amounts received by Landlord through proceeds of insurance to the extent the proceeds are
compensation for expenses which were previously included in Additional Rent hereunder; (v) cost of
repairs incurred by reason of fire or other casualty to the extent to which Landlord is compensated
therefor through proceeds of insurance or would be compensated by any insurance required to be
maintained by Landlord hereunder, or caused by the exercise of the right of eminent domain (except
for the amount of deductibles); (vi) advertising and promotional expenditures; (vii) legal and
auditing fees, other than legal and auditing fees reasonably incurred in connection with the
maintenance and operation of the Building or in connection with the preparation of statements
required pursuant to additional rent or lease escalation provisions or legal fees payable by Tenant
after a default as expressly provided in this Lease; (viii) legal fees for the negotiation or
enforcement of this Lease, or in connection with any debt or equity financing or sale of the
Demised Premises; (ix) expenses resulting from any violations by the Landlord of the terms of this
Lease; (x) costs of performing any clean-up relating to environmental conditions or affecting the
Building or Demised Premises prior to the Commencement Date or as otherwise provided for herein;
(xi) depreciation or amortization of any improvements or equipment; (xii) principal or interest
payments on loans secured by mortgages on the Building or on the Demised Premises; (xiv) any costs
for services rendered by any person or entity related to or affiliated with Landlord which is in
excess of commercially reasonable rates for such services; (xiv) penalties, interest and bad debts;
and (xv) any obligations under any mortgage, ground lease or other debt affecting the Demised
Premises.

expressly set forth herein, and has accepted the Demised Premises in “as is” condition.
- 10 -
4.2 The Tenant shall, at all times during the term of this Lease or any renewals thereof, at
its sole expense, put and maintain in thorough repair and in good and safe condition, and shall

limited to, mechanical, electrical, elevators and loading dock equipment servicing the Premises at
the sole cost and expense of the Tenant.
4.3 All repairs and replacements shall be in quality and class at least equal to the original
work. After an Event of Default (as hereinafter defined) with respect to making such repairs or
replacements, the Landlord may, but shall not be required to, make such repairs and replacements
for the Tenant’s account, and the expense thereof shall constitute and be collectible as Additional
Rent, payable within thirty (30) days of written demand; provided that Landlord’s right hereunder
shall only be exercised (a) upon a termination of the Term; or (b) if the condition threatens the
health or safety of persons or significant damage to property; or (c) if the condition materially
and adversely affects the appearance or function of the industrial park within which the Demised
Premises are located in the reasonable judgment of the Landlord; or (d) if the conditions violate
another provision of this Lease, such as, but not limited to, violations of law.
4.4 The Tenant shall maintain all portions of the Demised Premises in a clean and orderly
condition, free of dirt, rubbish, and unlawful obstructions.
4.5 The Landlord shall not be required to furnish any services or facilities or to make any
repair or alteration in or to the Demised Premises, except as hereinbefore or hereinafter set
forth. The Tenant hereby assumes the full and sole responsibility for the condition, operation,
repair, maintenance, and management of the Demised Premises, subject to Landlord’s obligations to
clean up or otherwise respond to any environmental conditions existing as of the Commencement Date
or otherwise not the responsibility of Tenant under Article 28.
4.6 In case any dispute shall arise at any time between the Landlord and the Tenant as to the
standard of care and maintenance of the Demised Premises, such dispute shall be determined by
arbitration before a licensed architect or real estate broker, mutually agreed upon by Landlord and
Tenant; provided that if the requirement for making repairs or replacements is imposed by any
governmental authority or the holder of any mortgage to which this Lease is subordinate, then such
requirement for repairs or replacements shall be complied with by the Tenant, provided that Tenant
shall also have the right to dispute or contest the validity, application, or reasonableness of any
governmental requirement and the Landlord shall afford to the Tenant reasonable cooperation in this
connection.
4.7 As between Landlord and Tenant, Tenant shall be solely responsible to monitor security
conditions affecting the use of Premises by Tenant, its employees, agents,
- 11 -
contractors, subtenants and invitees and to provide all necessary security to secure persons
or property against negligent or criminal acts and/or omissions of third parties, and Tenant
shall indemnify, defend and hold the Landlord harmless from all claims concerning such matters.
Nothing in this section is intended to nor shall it impose upon Tenant any obligation to any
third party which is not imposed under applicable law without reference to this Lease and no third
party shall be construed as a third party beneficiary of this provision of this Lease
4.8 Anything in this Article 4 to the contrary notwithstanding, the foregoing provisions shall
not apply to any environmental matters, which are specifically addressed in Article 28 below.
5. Repairs and Maintenance Obligations of Landlord:
5.1 Landlord shall make all repairs, replacements, alterations or renewals and perform all
maintenance to the following areas or parts of the Demised Premises at Tenant’s expense, charged as
Additional Rent under Section 3.1(c) of this Lease: (a) exterior walls, structural steel,
foundations, roof, landscaped areas, parking and loading areas, sidewalks and curbs, and site
drainage facilities, including, without limitation, snow and ice removal from parking, loading, and
sidewalk areas, (b) the common driveway area shared with 000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx, Xxx
Xxxxxx (which is also owned by Landlord), and (c) the Private Communications Ductbank (described in
Section 32.2 below). At Landlord’s option, routine maintenance to be paid by Tenant as Additional
Rent may include, without limitation, all items noted in Schedule “D” annexed hereto and made a
part hereof. The foregoing is not intended to eliminate or modify Tenant’s maintenance obligations
as provided for under Section 4 of this Lease.
5.2 Landlord shall not be in default under this Lease for any failure to make such repairs or
to perform any maintenance unless Landlord shall fail to cure said default within thirty (30) days
after notice of said default by Tenant, or in the case of a default not susceptible of a cure
within thirty (30) days, if Landlord shall fail to commence a cure within thirty (30) days and
diligently complete such cure within a reasonable time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Tenant’s
personnel cannot reasonably perform their functions in the Demised Premises as a result of
Landlord’s default which materially and adversely impairs the use of the Demised Premises (such
being a “Shut-Down Condition”), Tenant may serve written notice upon the Landlord of such Shut-Down
Condition. Landlord shall have one (1) business day to commence necessary repairs and to
diligently prosecute such repairs to a conclusion. If Landlord defaults in its obligation, Tenant
shall have the self-help rights afforded under Section 13.1. Further, in the event a Shut-Down
Condition persists for more than thirty (30) days, Fixed Rent and Additional Rent shall xxxxx until
the Shut-Down Condition has been remedied so as to permit Tenant’s personnel to reasonably perform
their functions in the Demised Premises.
5.3 Tenant shall promptly report in writing to Landlord any defective condition known to
Tenant which Landlord is required to repair.
6. Utilities and Personal Property Taxes:
6.1 Tenant shall pay for all water, gas, heat, light, power, sewer charges,
- 12 -
telephone service, fire alarm monitoring and all other services and utilities supplied to the
Demised Premises (including, without limitation, exterior lighting provided for the exclusive use
of the Demised Premises), together with any taxes thereon.
6.2 In the event the Demised Premises are connected to public utilities by means of lines
passing through the Demised Premises and outside of the Building and electrical apparatus
maintained by Tenant, it shall be the Landlord’s responsibility to maintain said lines as at the
expense of Tenant, billed as Additional Rent under Section 3 of this Lease provided however
that Landlord’s responsibility shall not extend further than to repair any breaks or obstructions
in said lines with reasonable dispatch after being advised of same, and to refrain from any
negligent or willful action to cause any such break or obstruction. Tenant’s repair responsibility
in respect to any such lines shall be limited to their entry into the Building at the Demised
Premises and above ground connections to Tenant’s fixtures and equipment. In no event shall
Landlord be responsible for any interruption of service of any utility to the Demised Premises
occurring by reason of any act or condition unless caused by the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of Landlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Tenant’s personnel cannot reasonably
perform their functions in the Demised Premises as a result of a Shut-Down Condition, Tenant may
serve written notice upon the Landlord of such Shut-Down Condition. Landlord shall have one (1)
business day to commence necessary repairs and to diligently prosecute such repairs to a
conclusion. If Landlord defaults in its obligation, Tenant shall have the self-help rights
afforded under Section 13.1. Further, in the event a Shut-Down Condition persists for more than
thirty (30) days, Fixed Rent and Additional Rent shall xxxxx until the Shut-Down Condition has been
remedied so as to permit Tenant’s personnel to reasonably perform their functions in the Demised
Premises; subject to the express condition precedent that, and for the period during which, the
Landlord is entitled to recover all such Fixed Rent and Additional Rent under the terms of the
policies for business interruption insurance for loss of rents obtained pursuant to Section 11.3.
6.3 Tenant shall pay, or cause to be paid, before delinquency, any and all taxes levied or
assessed and which become payable during the term hereof upon all Tenant’s leasehold improvements,
equipment, furniture, fixtures, and any other personal property belonging to Tenant and located on
the Demised Premises. In the event any or all of the Tenant’s leasehold improvements, equipment,
furniture, fixtures and other personal property shall be assessed and taxed with the real property,

services desired by Tenant pursuant to this paragraph shall be ordered and utilized at the sole
expense of Tenant. Tenant agrees that to the extent service by ASP is interrupted, curtailed, or
discontinued for whatever reason, Landlord shall have no obligation or liability with respect
thereto.

without limitation, specific performance and/or injunctive relief), and Tenant shall have no damage
claim against Landlord as a result of Landlord’s actions in refusing to consent on a timely basis
thereto (except as provided in Section 51.1 below).

Tenant’s expense, shall, at all times, comply with the terms and conditions of each such license or

unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Landlord will review and consent or object in

Improvements is solely for the benefit of Landlord, and, in reviewing and approving the same,
Landlord assumes no liability for the design of the Tenant Improvements or the adequacy thereof,
nor shall such review or approval by Landlord release Tenant from any obligation or liability in
respect thereof.

any mechanic’s or materialmen’s notice of intention or mechanic’s or materialmen’s or other
construction lien or order for the payment of money shall be filed against the Demised Premises, or
against Landlord (whether or not such lien or order is valid or enforceable as such), Tenant shall,
at Tenant’s own cost and expense, cause the same to be canceled and discharged of record or bonded
off within forty-five (45) days after the date of filing thereof, and shall also indemnify and save
harmless Landlord from and against any and all costs, expenses, claims, losses or damages,

forty-five (45) days after the date of filing thereof, and shall also indemnify and save harmless
Tenant from and against any and all costs, expenses, claims, losses or damages, including
reasonable counsel fees, resulting therefrom or by reason thereof.

rules, orders, regulations and requirements of the Federal, State and Municipal governments and of
any and all their departments and bureaus applicable to the Demised Premises for the correction,

11.1 During Tenant’s construction of any Tenant Improvements (the “Construction Phase”),
Tenant shall maintain builder’s risk insurance for the full replacement cost of the Tenant
Improvements at Tenant’s sole cost and expense in addition to the insurance coverages under Section
9.4 and 11.2 of this Lease.
11.2 At all times from and after the Commencement Date, and during the full term, the Tenant
shall maintain, at its sole cost and expense, general public liability insurance against claims for
personal injury, death or property damage, under a policy of commercial
- 17 -
general public liability insurance, with such limits as may reasonably be requested by the
Landlord from time to time, but not less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00) Combined Single
Limit (“CSL”) in respect of bodily injury and property damage. A combination of General Liability
Coverage and Umbrella Liability Coverage is acceptable to comply with this limit.

and paid as Additional Rent pursuant to Section 3 of this Lease, shall obtain and maintain for the
benefit of Landlord and Tenant, property insurance, business interruption insurance for loss of
rents, and flood insurance in an amount equal to the full replacement value of the Building,
including the replacement value of the Tenant Improvements, and not less than the requirements of
any mortgagee holding a mortgage on the Premises, provided that the same are commercially
reasonable. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain said coverages at
commercially reasonable rates, in which case Tenant shall pay one hundred percent (100%) of the
cost of the insurance covering the Tenant Improvements, payable in advance at the commencement of
the insurance policy year. Allocation of the cost for Tenant Improvements shall be based upon their
replacement value as shall be accurately and reasonably stated by Tenant. Landlord, its Mortgagee
and Tenant shall be named as insureds thereunder, as their respective interests may appear, and the
Landlord and its mortgagee shall be named loss payee, as their respective interests may appear.
Tenant may elect to carry for the benefit of Landlord, its Mortgagee and Tenant any of the
insurance coverages described in this paragraph applicable to the Demised Premises, or to the
Tenant’s rental, or to fixtures, furnishings, equipment, improvements and other property owned by
the Tenant and located at or in or affixed to Demised Premises at its own cost and expense. Tenant
shall provide Landlord with at least thirty (30) days’ advanced written notice of its request to
carry its own insurance to afford time for Landlord to cancel duplicative coverages so as to assure
no lapse or gaps in such coverages. The Landlord and its mortgagee shall be named loss payee under
any such policy, as their respective interests may appear, and all coverages shall comply with the
requirements of Landlord’s mortgagee.
11.4 The Landlord shall carry general public liability insurance, in addition to Tenant’s
general public liability insurance requirement as outlined in Article 11.2, naming Landlord as the
insured and Tenant as additional insured. Tenant shall pay its proportionate share of the cost of
said insurance, in advance, at the commencement of the insurance policy year. If Tenant finds that
the deductibles under such policies are not at commercially reasonable levels, Tenant may notify
the Landlord, and if the parties are unable to agree on a reasonable deductible, then subject to
requirements of Landlord’s Mortgagee, the issue will be resolved by arbitration before a qualified
insurance professional mutually selected by the parties.
11.5 All insurance required to be maintained by the Tenant shall be effected by valid and
enforceable policies issued by insurers with a Bests Rating of A-/IX or better, which are
authorized to do business in New Jersey. The Tenant may carry the insurance referred to in this
Lease under any blanket policy of insurance or policies issued by its present or future insurance
carriers. If the Tenant elects to provide insurance as herein set forth under any blanket policy
or blanket coverage, the Landlord will be provided with evidence of such insurance in the form of a
certificate of insurance or any other evidence of insurability from any insurance carrier and said
certificate or certificates will provide that the Landlord will receive thirty (30) days
- 18 -
notice prior to cancellation in the coverage. If the Tenant elects to provide insurance as
herein set forth under one or more individual policies of insurance, then either certificates of
insurance or duplicate originals of such policies will be delivered to Landlord and same will
provide that the Landlord will receive thirty (30) days’ notice prior to cancellation in coverage.
Proof of insurance coverage and payment for same (including the Certificates or duplicate original
policies) shall be delivered to Landlord at the Commencement Date and as to renewal policies shall
be delivered to Landlord not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the effective date of the renewal
coverage. All such policies shall be primary shall be primary notwithstanding that coverage
may also exist under a policy held by Landlord.
All insurance required to be maintained by the Landlord shall be effected by valid and
enforceable policies issued by insurers with a Bests Rating of A-/IX or better, which are
authorized to do business in New Jersey. The Landlord may carry the insurance referred to in this
Lease under any blanket policy of insurance or policies issued by its present or future insurance
carriers. If the Landlord elects to provide insurance as herein set forth under any blanket policy
or blanket coverage, the Tenant will be provided with evidence of such insurance in the form of a
certificate of insurance or any other evidence of insurability from any insurance carrier and said
certificate or certificates will provide that the Tenant will receive thirty (30) days notice prior
to cancellation in the coverage. All such policies shall be primary and non-contributing with any
other insurance carried by Tenant.
11.6 All policies of insurance required to be maintained hereunder (whether by Landlord or
Tenant) shall name the Tenant and the Landlord and its mortgagee as the insured as their respective
interests may appear. All such policies shall contain an agreement by the insurers that such
policies shall not be canceled without at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to the
Landlord.
11.7 Upon the default of the Tenant in effecting any such insurance, or procuring or
delivering the policies therefor as directed by the Landlord, or in paying the premiums therefor
and any and all charges incidental thereto when the same become payable, or in procuring and
delivering to the Landlord renewals of expired policies at least fifteen (15) days before such
expiration, the Landlord may, upon not less than ten (10) days prior written notice to Tenant,
procure any such insurance or insurances and/or pay the premiums and other charges incidental
thereto, and any and all amounts so paid by the Landlord, together with interest thereon from the
date of such payment at lesser of twelve percent (12%) per annum or the highest rate permitted by
law, shall be Additional Rent hereunder and, at the Landlord’s option, may be added to the rent
then due or thereafter to become due and the Landlord shall have the rights and remedies, including
summary proceedings, with respect to the same as with respect to rent.
11.8 In the event Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Demised Premises causes any additional
charge or increase in the insurance premiums on the Land or Building, in excess of those rates
which would normally be imposed for insuring a non-combustible building of similar construction,
Tenant shall, from time to time, immediately upon receipt of notice from Landlord, do whatever is
reasonably deemed necessary, and follow whatever reasonable recommendations may be made by the
Landlord, in order that such excess charge or increase in insurance premiums may be removed, or the
lowered rate obtained; or, in the event conditions
- 19 -
are such that nothing can be done in Tenant’s discretion by way of improvements or otherwise
to remove such increased insurance premiums, or if the expense involved is excessive, then Tenant
shall pay the full amount of such additional charges or increases in premium on demand as
Additional Rent.
11.9 Anything in this Article 11 or in this Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, each of
Landlord and Tenant hereby waives any and all rights of recovery against the other, and against the
officers, employees, agents, representatives, customers and business visitors of such other party,
for loss of or damage to such waiving party or its property or the property of others under its
control, arising from any cause insured against under any policy of insurance required to be
carried by such waiving party pursuant to the provisions of this Lease (or any other policy of
insurance carried by such waiving party in lieu thereof) at the time of such loss or damage. The
foregoing waiver shall be effective whether or not the waiving party actually obtains and maintains
the insurance which such waiving party is required to obtain and maintain pursuant to this Lease
(or any substitute therefor). Landlord and Tenant shall, upon obtaining the policies of insurance
which they are required to maintain hereunder, give notice to their respective insurance carrier or
carriers that the foregoing mutual waiver of subrogation is contained in this Lease. In addition,
Tenant and Landlord shall obtain waivers of subrogation for the benefit of one another, from any
company issuing any policy of insurance obtained by either of them pursuant to the terms of this
Lease. Landlord shall not be liable for injury, loss, expense, claim or damage to the person,
property, or interests of Tenant covered by insurance, irrespective of whether any such damage is
occasioned by the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its servants, agents or employees.
Similarly, Tenant shall not be liable for injury, loss, expense, claim or damage to the person,
property, or interests of Landlord covered by insurance, irrespective of whether any such damage is
occasioned by the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant, its servants, agents or employees.
12. Landlord’s Liability:
12.1 Except as otherwise provided in this Lease, Landlord shall not be liable for any personal
injury to any person, including the Tenant or to its officers, agents, employees, contractors or
invitees or for any damage to any property of any person, including the Tenant, whether from action
of the elements, or acts of negligence of or occupants of adjacent properties, except if caused by
or resulting from the Landlord’s willful malfeasance or negligent acts.
12.2 The term “Landlord” as used in this Lease shall be limited to mean and include only the
owner or owners at the time in question of the Demised Premises and in the event of any transfer or
transfers of the title to the Demised Premises, the then grantor shall be automatically freed and
relieved from and after the date of such conveyance or transfer of all liability for the
performance of any covenants or obligations on the part of Landlord contained in this Lease to be
performed, provided that any funds then in the hands of such grantor, in which Tenant has an
interest, shall be delivered to the grantee and that such grantee assumes all obligations of
grantor as the “Landlord” hereunder, including, without limitation, any liability for the
performance of any covenants or obligations on the part of Landlord contained in this Lease for the
period prior to any such transfer of title.
- 20 -
12.3 Tenant agrees that it shall look solely to Landlord’s interest in the Demised Premises
(including all of Landlord’s rights to insurance and condemnation proceeds and all Rent and income
from Demised Premises) and not to Landlord for the collection of any judgment (or other judicial
process) against the Landlord or any predecessor Landlord in the event of any default or breach by
Landlord with respect to any of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease to be observed
and/or performed by Landlord, and no other assets of Landlord or any predecessor Landlord shall be
subject to levy, execution or other procedures for the satisfaction of Tenant’s remedies. Tenant
irrevocably waives and releases Landlord from any claims in excess of such interest in the Demised
Premises.
13. Default of Landlord:
13.1 Landlord shall not be in default unless Landlord fails to perform obligations required of
Landlord within a reasonable time, but in no event later than thirty (30) days after written notice
by Tenant to Landlord specifying wherein Landlord has failed to perform such obligation; provided,
however, that if the nature of Landlord’s obligation is such that more than thirty (30) days are
required for performance, then Landlord shall not be in default if Landlord commences performance
within such 30-day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes the same to completion. Except as
otherwise specifically provided for herein, in no event shall Tenant have the right to terminate
this Lease as a result of Landlord’s default, and Tenant’s remedies shall be limited to damages
and/or an injunction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in emergency circumstances where the failure
to repair or replace would result in a Shut-Down Condition (defined at Section 5.2) and it is
impracticable to give Notice to the Landlord and permit Landlord to carry out the repair pursuant
to Section 5.2, then Tenant shall have the right to perform Landlord’s obligations and be
reimbursed for the reasonable cost thereof, if applicable, as a common expense or, otherwise at
Landlord’s sole expense, so long as Tenant provides Landlord with notice thereof promptly after
performing such obligations.
14. Event of Default by Tenant:
14.1 The following shall constitute an “Event of Default” by the Tenant hereunder:
(a) If Tenant shall be late in the payment of any installment of Fixed Rent and if such breach
shall continue for ten (10) days; provided that once in each twelve (12) month period Landlord
shall provide a written notice of late payment to Tenant and a ten (10) day period to cure the
nonpayment before declaring an Event of Default or assessing a late charge under Section 2.4.
(b) If Tenant shall be late in the payment of any Supplemental or Additional Rent, and if such
breach shall continue for thirty (30) days after Landlord shall have sent Tenant a written invoice
for the amount due.

creditors, or (ii) a voluntary petition be filed by Tenant under any law having for its purpose the

modification, settlement or satisfaction of the liabilities of
- 21 -
Tenant or the reorganization or liquidation of Tenant, or (iii) a receiver be appointed for
the property of Tenant by reason of the insolvency or alleged insolvency of Tenant, or if (iv) any
department of the state or federal government or any officer thereof or duly authorized Trustee or
Receiver shall take possession of the business or property of the Tenant, or if (v) an involuntary
petition be filed against Tenant under any law having for its purpose the adjudication of Tenant as
a bankrupt, or for the liquidation of Tenant; and (except with respect to items (a) and (b),
supra, which shall be noncurable events of default) if same have not been removed, cured or
discharged within ninety (90) days, or if (vi) any Receiver or Trustee pursuant to any bankruptcy
or insolvency law, whether Federal or State, shall attempt to thereafter assign this Lease to any
part or attempt to sublet all or any part of the Demised Premises.
(d) If Tenant shall default in the performance or observation of any other agreement or
condition (other than payment of rent or Additional Rent) on its part to be performed or observed,

Tenant shall fail to commence a cure within thirty (30) days and diligently complete such cure
within a reasonable time under the circumstances.
14.2 During the period of an uncured Event of Default:
(a) Landlord may (i) permit Tenant to remain in possession and xxx for all rents, damages,
attorneys’ fees and collection costs as due; or (ii) terminate this Lease by written declaration,
but allow Tenant to remain in possession as Tenant at will and xxx Tenant for all rents, damages,
attorneys’ fees and collection costs; or (iii) immediately, or at any time thereafter, through
legal process, re-enter and resume possession of the Demised Premises and remove all persons and
property therefrom either by summary dispossess proceedings or by a suitable action or proceeding
at law or in equity (or in the case of a permanent abandonment of the Demised Premises by Tenant by
peaceful self-help), without being liable for any damages therefor (no re-entry by the Landlord
shall be deemed an acceptance of a surrender of this Lease unless accompanied by a written
declaration signed by Landlord to that effect); or (iv) upon re-taking possession, keep the
premises vacant (subject to reasonable efforts at mitigation of Landlord’s damages) and recover
from Tenant all rents, damages, reasonable attorneys fees and collection costs as hereinafter
provided; (v) without liability to Tenant or any other party and without constituting a
constructive or actual eviction, Landlord may suspend or discontinue furnishing or rendering to
Tenant any property, material, labor, or other service (other than utilities), wherever Landlord is
obligated to furnish or render the same, so long as an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing under this Lease; or (vi) upon re-taking possession Landlord may, as Tenant’s agent and
without effecting Tenant’s liability hereunder, relet the whole or any part of the Demised Premises
for a period equal to, or greater, or less than the remainder of the then term of this Lease, at
such rental and upon such terms and concessions as Landlord shall deem reasonable, to any lessee or
lessees which it may deem suitable and satisfactory for any use and purpose which it may deem
appropriate. In no event shall the Landlord be liable in any respect for failure to relet the
Demised Premises or in the event of such reletting, for failure to collect the rent thereunder
provided that Landlord has complied with its mitigation obligations as aforesaid. Any sums
received by the Landlord on a reletting for any monthly installment of rent in excess of the rent
reserved in this Lease shall belong to Landlord;
- 22 -
(b) Delinquent Fixed Rent and Additional Rent shall bear interest at the lower rate of either
twelve percent (12%) per annum or the maximum rate permitted by law, from the date on which it is
due until the date on which it is paid. This provision shall not relieve Tenant from any payment
of Fixed Rent, late charges or Additional Rent at the time due and in the manner specified herein.
(c) Tenant hereby expressly waives the service of notice of intention to re-enter as provided
for in any statute and also waives any and all rights or equity of redemption in case the Tenant
shall be dispossessed by a Court. The terms “enter,” and “re-enter,” “entry,” or “re-entry,” as
used in this Lease, are not restricted to their technical legal meaning.
(d) the termination of this Lease shall not in any circumstance operate to relieve the Tenant
from liability for performance of all of its obligations hereunder. Upon any such termination of
this Lease, Tenant covenants that it will quit and surrender the premises and deliver possession
thereof to Landlord.
14.3 No waiver by the Landlord of any Event of Default by Tenant shall constitute or be
construed as a waiver of any other or future Event of Default. No waiver by the Tenant of any
default or breach by the Landlord shall constitute or be construed as a waiver of any other or
future default or breach. No waiver by either party shall be effective unless in writing.
14.4 The acceptance by Landlord of rent or other charges from Tenant (in whole or in part)
after any Event of Default, even though known to Landlord, shall not constitute a waiver of the
default/breach, unless the Event of Default is cured in full. The acceptance by Landlord of rent
or other charges from Tenant (in whole or in part) shall not be deemed an accord and satisfaction
in respect of any claims of Landlord against Tenant, notwithstanding the payment check or
accompanying letter may bear a legend or endorsement to the contrary. The acceptance of payment as
above shall not affect any notice of default or any action or proceedings or judgment or order
taken in consequence of the default.
14.5 In the event of (a) the termination of this Lease under the provisions of Article 14
hereof, (b) the re-entry into the Demised Premises by Landlord under the provisions of this Article
14, or (c) the termination of this Lease (or re-entry) by or under any summary dispossess or other
proceeding or action or any provision of law by reason of default hereunder on the part of Tenant,
Landlord shall be entitled to retain all moneys, if any, paid by Tenant to Landlord, whether as
advance rent, security or otherwise, but such moneys shall be credited by Landlord against any rent
due from Tenant at the time of such termination or re-reentry, or at Landlord’s option, against any
damages payable by Tenant under this Lease or pursuant to law.
14.6 In the event of any termination of this Lease under the provisions of Article 14 or in
the event that Landlord shall re-enter the premises lawfully or in the event of the termination of
this Lease (or of re-entry) by or under any summary dispossess or other proceeding or action or any
provision of law, Tenant will pay to Landlord as damages, at the sole election of Landlord, either:
- 23 -
(a) a sum which at the time of such termination of this Lease or at the time of any such
re-entry by Landlord, as the case may be, is equal to the excess, if any, between: (i) the
aggregate of all Rent which would have been payable hereunder by Tenant had this Lease not so
terminated for the period commencing with such earlier termination of this Lease or the date of any
such re-entry, as the case may be, and ending with the date set for the expiration of the full term
hereby granted, over (ii) the aggregate of all rent of the Demised Premises for the same period
based upon the then local market rental value of the Demised Premises as determined by taking into
account any market concessions such as tenant improvements, free rent, construction allowances,
rent abatement, moving allowances and other rental concessions, financial strength of the tenant,
location in the building, and comparable renewal leases (on the bases of factors such as, but not
limited to, size and location of space and the term of the lease), if any, recently executed for
space in other buildings in the Bergen County, New Jersey, which are comparable to the Building in
reputation, quality, age, size, location and quality of services provided (the foregoing factors
not being exclusive in identifying comparable buildings). Landlord shall also be entitled to
recover the reasonable value of restoring the Demised Premises and reletting same (including
brokers commissions) as an element of damage, discounted to present value at the prime rate of
interest announced as of the Event of Default in The Wall Street Journal; or
(b) sums equal to the aggregate of all Rent which would have been payable by Tenant had this
Lease not so terminated, or had Landlord not so re-entered the Demised Premises, payable on a
monthly basis on the due dates specified for payment of Fixed Rent under this Lease following such
termination of such re-entry and until the date hereinbefore set for the expiration of the full
Term hereby granted; provided, however, that if Landlord shall re-let all or part of the Demised
Premises for all or any part of said period, Landlord shall credit Tenant with the net rents
received by Landlord from such re-letting, such net rents to be determined by first deducting from
the gross rents as and when received by Landlord all reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred
in terminating this Lease and re-entering the Demised Premises and of securing possession thereof,
as well as the reasonable expenses of re-letting, including altering and preparing the Demised
Premises for new tenants, brokers’ commissions and all other similar or dissimilar expenses
properly chargeable against the Demised Premises and the rental therefrom in connection with such
re-letting, it being understood that any such re-letting may be for a period equal to or shorter or
longer than the remaining Term of this Lease; provided, further, that (i) in no event shall Tenant
be entitled to receive any excess of such net rents over the sums payable by Tenant to Landlord
hereunder, (ii) in no event shall Tenant be entitled in any suit for the collection of damages
pursuant to this subsection (b) to a credit in respect of any net rents from a re-letting except to
the extent that such net rents are actually received by Landlord prior to the commencement of such
suit, and (iii) if the Demised Premises or any part thereof should be re-let in combination with
other space, then proper apportionment on a square foot area basis shall be made of the rent
received from such re-letting and of the expenses of re-letting. Suit or suits for the recovery of
such damages, or any installments thereof, may be brought by Landlord from time to time at its
election, and nothing contained herein shall be deemed to require Landlord to postpone suit until
the date when the term of this Lease would have expired if it had not been terminated under the
provisions of Article 14, or under any provision of law, or had Landlord not re-entered the Demised
Premises.
- 24 -
Nothing herein contained shall be construed as limiting or precluding the recovery by Landlord
against Tenant of any sums or damages to which, in addition to the damages particularly provided
above, Landlord may lawfully be entitled by reason of any default hereunder on the part of Tenant.
14.7 Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, upon an Event of Default hereunder, or
in the event of a breach or threatened breach on the part of Tenant or Landlord with respect to any
of the covenants, agreements, terms, provisions or conditions on the part of or on behalf of such
party to be kept, observed or performed, both parties shall also have the right of specific
performance and/or injunction. The specified remedies to which either party may resort hereunder
are cumulative and are not intended to be exclusive of any other remedies or means of redress to
which either may lawfully be entitled at any time, and either party may invoke any remedy allowed
at law or in equity as if specific remedies were not herein provided for, so long as such remedies
have not been waived by the terms of this Lease.
15. Access to Premises:
15.1 Landlord and its representatives may enter the Demised Premises during normal business
hours upon not less than forty-eight (48) hours prior notice (except in case of emergency, when no
prior notice shall be required) for the purpose of inspecting the same and, if Landlord so elects,
but without any obligation so to do, for the purpose of making any necessary repairs to the Demised
Premises and performing any work therein. Landlord will exercise its rights hereunder in a
commercially reasonable manner so as to minimize interference with Tenant’s business operations,
but nothing herein shall require the Landlord to schedule all work during non-business hours and to
thereby incur overtime or similar extra charges. Landlord shall be prohibited from entering any
secured or protected areas within the Demised Premises without the prior written consent of Tenant.
15.2 Landlord may enter and exhibit the Demised Premises during usual business hours upon not
less than forty-eight (48) hours prior notice for Landlord’s purposes, including but not limited
to, inspecting the Demised Premises or showing the Demised Premises to prospective mortgagees,
purchasers, lessees or brokers. During the final twelve (12) months of the term, Landlord may also
display the usual “To Let” or similar signs on the portions of the Land (but excluding the Demised
Premises).
15.3 Notwithstanding the foregoing in this Article 15, Tenant may designate certain portions
of the Demised Premises, including but not limited Tenant’s computer and data rooms, as “Protected
Areas.” Landlord recognizes that the Protected Areas are to be secured areas and Landlord shall
have no access thereto without being accompanied by a designated representative of Tenant.
15.4 Tenant shall have access to the Demised Premises 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365/366
days a year.
16. Hold Harmless:
16.1 Subject to the provisions of Section 11.9 above, Tenant shall keep, save
- 25 -
and hold Landlord harmless and free from all liability, penalties, losses, damages, costs,
expenses, causes of action, claims and/or judgments to third parties arising by reason of any
injury or damage to any person or persons, or property, of any kind whatsoever, and to whomsoever
belonging, from any cause or causes whatsoever and whether arising from or by reason of any
existing or future condition, default, matter, or thing in or about the Demised Premises, from and
after the Commencement Date, including, without limitation, damage from water and/or steam seepage
or leakage in or into the Demised Premises, except if caused by Landlord’s negligent or intentional
acts or omissions.
16.2 Tenant hereby waives all claims against Landlord for damages to goods, equipment,
improvements, wares, and merchandise in, upon or about the Demised Premises, the Building, the Land
and any common areas and for injuries to Tenant, its agents or third persons in or about the
Demised Premises, the Building, the Land and any common area from any cause arising at any time,
except if caused by Landlord’s negligent or intentional acts or omissions.
16.3 Subject to the provisions of Section 11.9 above, Tenant agrees that if Landlord is
involuntarily made a party defendant to any litigation concerning this Lease or the Demised
Premises relating to any alleged act or omission of Tenant, then Tenant shall indemnify, hold
harmless and defend Landlord from all liability, and reasonable costs and expenses by reason
thereof. Similarly, Landlord agrees that if Tenant is involuntarily made a party defendant to any
litigation concerning this Lease or the Demised Premises relating to any alleged act or omission of
Landlord, then Landlord shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend Tenant from all liability, and
reasonable costs and expenses by reason thereof.
16.4 Anything in this Article 16 to the contrary notwithstanding, the foregoing
indemnifications in this Article 16 shall in NO EVENT apply to any environmental matters. Any
Tenant indemnification with respect to environmental matters is set forth in Section 28.4, and any
Landlord indemnification with respect to environmental matters is set forth in Section 28.11.
17. Assignment or Sublease:
17.1 Tenant shall neither voluntarily, nor by operation of law, assign, transfer, mortgage,
pledge, hypothecate or encumber this Lease or any interest therein, and shall not sublet the said
Demised Premises or any part thereof, or any right or privilege appurtenant thereto, or allow any
other person (the employees, agents, servants and invitees of Tenant excepted) to occupy or use the
said Demised Premises, or any portion thereof, without first obtaining the written consent of
Landlord. A consent to one assignment, subletting, occupation or use by any other person shall not
be deemed to be a consent to any subsequent assignment, subletting, occupation or use by another
person. Consent to any such assignment or subletting shall in no way relieve Tenant of any
liability under this Lease. Any such assignment or subletting without such consent shall be void,
and shall, at the option of the Landlord, constitute a default under the terms of this Lease.
Landlord shall not be obligated to consider and respond to any request for consent under this
paragraph unless such request is in writing, contains a full explanation of the proposal and
provides sufficient information about the financial standing and experience of the proposed
assignee or subtenant for Landlord to make an informed judgment. Tenant acknowledges that its sole
remedy with respect to any assertion that Landlord’s failure to timely consent to any assignment or
sublet is unreasonable shall be the remedy of specific
- 26 -
performance and Tenant shall have no damage claim or further claim of any nature or cause of
action against Landlord as a result of Landlord’s actions in refusing to timely consent, except a
claim for legal fees and costs as provided in Section 51.1 below. In the event of any approved
assignment or sublease, all rents or other payments received by Tenant in excess of the payments
due from Tenant to Landlord pursuant to this Lease may be retained by Tenant. On demand, any
assignee or subtenant shall make payments directly to Landlord without, however, creating a direct
Landlord-Tenant relation between them or releasing Tenant under this Lease. Landlord shall not
unreasonably withhold or delay consent to an assignment or sublease, providing that Landlord
determines in its reasonable discretion that such sublease or assignment does not lessen Landlord’s
security, that the use of the Demised Premises will remain as the Permitted Use; that the proposed
assignee or sublessee is financially responsible and is sufficiently experienced to operate the
business from the Demised Premises successfully and in a manner which shall not detract from the
value of the Demised Premises, that the proposed transaction does not present any environmental
concerns.
17.2 Notwithstanding the foregoing in Section 17.1, no Landlord consent shall be required: (a)
for subleases or assignments to affiliates or subsidiaries of the Tenant or becomes a publicly
traded entity on a United States stock exchange, provided that Tenant shall provide Landlord with
thirty (30) days advanced notice with sufficient information to confirm that: (i) there shall be no
change in the permitted use of the Demised Premises, (ii) Tenant shall remain liable jointly and
severally with the assignee/subleasee for payment and performance of all Tenant obligations under
this Lease, (iii) the proposed assignment/sublease shall not impair Landlord’s security, and (iv)
the proposed assignee or subtenant shall not introduce any new Hazardous Substances onto Demised
Premises in violation of applicable laws which is inconsistent with the existing operations of
Tenant at the Demised Premises; (b) for any transfer or assignment to any successor to Tenant by
purchase, merger, consolidation or reorganization; and (c) if Tenant becomes a publicly traded
entity on a United States stock exchange.
18. Condemnation:
18.1 This Lease and the term hereof shall terminate: (a) if the entire Demised Premises shall
be taken by condemnation, or (b) at the option of Tenant (exercisable by notice given to Landlord
within thirty (30) days after the date of any such taking), if a material part of the Demised
Premises shall be taken in any condemnation proceeding(s); or (c) at the option of Landlord
(exercisable by notice given to the Tenant within thirty (30) days after the date of taking) if
more than fifteen percent (15%) of the Demised Premises or the Building or the Land shall be taken
by condemnation. A taking of a “material part” of the Demised Premises shall mean the condemnation
of so much of the Demised Premises (including any exclusive parking) as shall materially and
adversely interfere with Tenant’s operations in the Demised Premises; provided, however, that in
the event of any taking of any exclusive parking, the Landlord shall use its best efforts to
provide alternative parking of an equal or greater size within the “Industrial Park” in which the
Building and the building at 000 Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx, Xxx Xxxxxx currently occupied by
Tenant, are located in which case this Lease shall remain in full force and effect as to such
remaining portion to the extent that such alternative parking is provided.
18.2 Upon the termination of this Lease in accordance with this Article, rents shall be
adjusted as of such termination. The entire condemnation award shall be the sole and
- 27 -
exclusive property of Landlord and shall be payable solely to Landlord except any allocations
or awards for Tenant’s trade fixtures and moving expenses. Tenant shall not make any claim in any
condemnation proceeding for the value of the unexpired portion of the Lease or the term hereof, and
waives all right thereto.
18.3 In the event that any portion of the Demised Premises is taken in condemnation and if
this Lease is not terminated, then this Lease shall remain in full force and effect as to such
remaining portion, except that from and after the effective date of any such taking, Tenant shall
be entitled to a proportionate reduction in the Fixed and Additional Rent required to be paid
hereunder in accordance with any reduction in square foot area of the Demised Premises caused by
such taking. In the event that any portion of Tenant’s exclusive parking is taken in condemnation
and if this Lease is not terminated, then this Lease shall remain in full force and effect as to
such remaining portion.
Landlord shall promptly restore the portion of the Demised Premises remaining after such
taking to a complete architectural unit. Any restoration by Landlord shall be limited to the basic
building structure as demised by Landlord to Tenant as of the Commencement Date, and Tenant shall
have such reasonable time thereof to restore the interior of the Demised Premises to an operational
condition with an accompanying abatement of rent during such time. Landlord shall have the right
to install, maintain and alter or relocate within the Demised Premises any gas, water, electric or
sewer lines which may be necessary provided that Tenant’s facilities are not materially or
adversely affected.
18.4 In the event this Lease is not terminated as aforesaid and Landlord does not restore the
Demised Premises within a period of ninety (90) business days after the date of taking, then and in
that event, Tenant may, as its sole remedy, have the right to terminate this Lease by notice in
writing delivered to Landlord prior to completion of such restoration.
19. Fire or Casualty Loss:
19.1 If all or part of the Demised Premises is damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty,
this Lease and all of its terms, covenants and conditions shall, subject to the provisions
hereinafter set forth, continue in full force and effect, as follows:
A. In the event that the damage to the Demised Premises is so extensive as to amount
practically to the total destruction of the Demised Premises and Landlord within a reasonable time
after such damage shall not elect to rebuild, then and in that event, this Lease shall cease and
the rent shall be apportioned to the time of the destruction. For the purposes of this paragraph,
damage to fifteen percent (15%) or more of the Demised Premises shall be deemed total destruction.
B. In the event that the Demised Premises is damaged, but not so destroyed (as set forth in
Paragraph A immediately above) as to terminate the Lease, or Landlord elects to rebuild as provided
for in Paragraph A above, then, provided that such loss is sufficiently insured and that all of the
proceeds of said insurance coverage are made available to the Landlord by any mortgagee whose
interest may be superior to the Landlord; and further provided that the term of this Lease shall
have at least two (2) years to run, and that applicable
- 28 -
laws shall permit, then, and in those events, the Landlord shall repair and rebuild the
Demised Premises with reasonable diligence. Notwithstanding the foregoing: (i) in the event there
is less than two (2) years of the Lease Term remaining, or (ii) in the event Landlord’s mortgagee
should require that the insurance proceeds payable as a result of a casualty be applied to the
payment of the mortgage debt and Landlord does not promptly commit to restore with Landlord’s
funds, or (iii) in the event of any material uninsured loss to the Building and Landlord does not
promptly commit to restore with Landlord’s funds, or (iv) if the written estimate states that the
Demised Premises cannot be restored to substantially the condition that existed prior to the
casualty within one hundred eighty (180) days of the casualty, then either Landlord or Tenant may,
at their option, terminate this Lease by notifying the other party in writing of such termination
within ninety (90) days after the date of such casualty. Within sixty (60) days of such casualty,
Landlord shall notify Tenant whether the Demised Premises cannot be restored to the condition that
existed prior to the casualty within one hundred eighty (180) days of the casualty.
19.2 To the extent that the loss or destruction of the Demised Premises substantially
interferes with all or a portion of Tenant’s operations at the Demised Premises, thus requiring the
Tenant temporarily to close its business or reduce its workforce, the Fixed Rent shall be abated
(or proportionately abated with respect to a partial closure) from the date of such closing to the
date the damage shall have been substantially repaired so as to enable the Tenant to continue its
business in substantially the same fashion as was previously operating prior to the date of such
loss or destruction.
19.3 Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Landlord will not carry insurance of any kind on
Tenant’s fixtures, furniture, and equipment, or on any Tenant Improvements or other appurtenances
removable by Tenant under the provisions of this Lease, and that Landlord shall not be obligated to
repair any damage thereto or replace the same. However, if Landlord does place such coverages on
Tenant’s owned property as provided in Section 11.3, all proceeds applicable to Tenant’s owned
property shall be promptly transmitted to Tenant upon receipt by the Landlord, and Landlord will
use its best efforts, in coordination with Tenant, to make the appropriate claims and recover
insurance proceeds due under the applicable coverage.
20. Estoppel Certificate:
20.1 Upon request from the either party and/or its successor in interest, either party hereto,
and/or its successors in interest, shall at any time and from time to time upon not less than
twenty (20) days prior written notice, execute, acknowledge and deliver a statement in writing: (a)
certifying that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if modified, stating the
nature of such modification and certifying that this Lease as so modified is in full force and
effect), and the date to which the rental and other charges are paid in advance, if any, and (b)
acknowledging that there are not, to such party’s knowledge, any uncured defaults on the part of
either party hereunder, or specifying such defaults if any are claimed, and (c) setting forth the
date of commencement of rents and expiration of the term hereof. Any such statement may be relied
upon by the prospective purchaser or encumbrancer of all or any portion of the real property of
which the Demised Premises are a part, or other interested party.
- 29 -
21. Signage
21.1 Under no circumstances shall Tenant place or erect, or allow to be placed, or erected, a
sign of any nature whatsoever upon any exterior portion of the Building. Ground signs which are
similar to existing ground signs will be permitted subject to prior written approval from Landlord
in connection with any proposed sign, its location, and its manner of installation. Landlord may
remove any signs installed by Tenant which are in violation of the provisions of this Article. In
no event shall any permitted sign be installed on the roof or above the parapet height of the
Demised Premises or of the Building. Any sign which Tenant may be permitted to install on the
Demised Premises shall nonetheless conform to any and all requirements of any governmental body of
any nature whatsoever having jurisdiction thereover, notwithstanding Tenant’s having obtained
written consent from Landlord therefor. Tenant shall have the right, as the need may occur, to
apply for any sign variances, at its sole cost and expense, provided the Landlord shall have first
approved the proposed sign. Landlord’s consent to signs shall not be unreasonably withheld,
delayed or conditioned, and Landlord agrees to reasonably cooperate with Tenant to facilitate
Tenant in obtaining any applicable municipal approvals therefor.
22. Brokerage Commission: Landlord and Tenant each warrant and represent one to
another that neither has dealt with, employed or negotiated with any real estate broker, salesman,
agent or finder in connection with this Lease Agreement except Xxxxxxx, Inc. (“Broker”). Landlord
agrees to pay the commission due to the Broker pursuant to a separate agreement. Landlord shall
indemnify, hold harmless and defend Tenant, and Tenant shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend
Landlord, from and against any claim or claims for broker or other commission arising from or out
of any breach of the foregoing representation and warranty by the respective indemnitors. The
representations and obligations contained in this paragraph shall survive the expiration or
termination of this Lease.
23. Unavoidable Delays:
23.1 Except as otherwise provided for in Articles 5.2 above, in the event that Landlord or
Tenant shall be delayed or prevented from performing any of its obligations pursuant to the
provisions of this Lease Agreement due to governmental action, or lack thereof, or due to shortages
of or unavailability of materials and/or supplies, labor disputes, strikes, slow downs, job
actions, picketing, secondary boycotts, fire or other casualty, delays in transportation, acts of
God, failure to comply or inability to comply with any orders or requests of any governmental
agencies or authorities, acts of declared or undeclared war, public disorder, riot or civil
commotion, or by any other cause beyond the reasonable control of such party (each, a “Force
Majeure Event”), then such party shall in any or all such events be excused from its obligation to
perform and comply with such provisions of this Lease Agreement for a period of time commensurate
with any delay so caused without any liability to the other party therefor whatsoever and all time
periods provided for herein for performance of any such obligations shall be extended accordingly.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Force Majeure Event shall not delay or excuse Tenant’s obligations
to pay Fixed Rent or Additional Rent.
- 30 -
24. Subordination:
24.1 Tenant covenants that its rights under this Lease Agreement are hereby and will be
subordinate to the operation and effect of any mortgage or mortgages now existing or hereafter
placed upon the premises or building or lot without any further written document from Tenant.
However, Tenant shall, upon request by Landlord, execute such documents as may be required to
effect such subordination to the satisfaction of any such mortgagee.
24.2 Tenant agrees to comply with reasonable requirements for modifications hereof made by any
reputable bona fide mortgage lending institution provided that such requirements shall not affect
the basic business terms hereof.
24.3 Tenant shall, upon request of Landlord, furnish to Landlord at any time during the term,
the most recent financial statement(s) of Tenant for a period of up to two (2) years last past. If
certified statements certified by a certified public accountant have been prepared, then certified
statements will be provided by Tenant. Landlord agrees to keep the financial statement(s)
confidential and shall not distribute such financial information to any party other than Landlord’s
agents, employees, attorneys, accountants and lender to the extent that such parties require such
information and such parties shall be informed of the confidential nature of such information.
24.4 Tenant covenants and agrees to attorn to any successor to Landlord’s interest in this
Lease.
24.5 Landlord agrees to obtain a non-disturbance agreement from existing and future mortgagees
in whatever standard form is utilized by such mortgagees for the benefit of Tenant, and to deliver
same to Tenant within a reasonable time after execution of this Lease. Landlord hereby agrees to
cooperate with Tenant and to use best efforts to obtain from any existing and future mortgagees on
behalf of Tenant reasonable changes sought by Tenant to the standardized form of non-disturbance
agreement utilized by such mortgagees. Anything in this Lease to the contrary notwithstanding,
this Lease shall be subordinate to any such existing and future mortgages only during the period
that a non-disturbance agreement remains in full force and effect, and otherwise shall be superior
to such instruments.
25. Security Deposit:
25.1. Tenant has provided a “Security Deposit” to Landlord’s affiliate, 000 Xxxxxxxx
Xxxxxxxxx, LLC, with respect to a lease for premises in the building located at 000 Xxxxxxxx
Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx, Xxx Xxxxxx (the “410 Lease”). The Security Deposit is in the form of a
letter of credit in the current amount of Six Million and 00/100 Dollars ($4,000,000.00), and will
increase over time, as provided in the 410 Lease to Ten Million and 00/100 Dollars
($10,000,000.00).
From and after the Effective Date, Landlord’s affiliate, 000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx, LLC shall be
entitled, but shall not be obligated, to use the Security Deposit as security for the performance
of Tenant’s obligations under: (a) the 410 Lease, (b) this Lease, and (c) that certain lease with
another affiliate of Landlord for that certain property having an address of 000 Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx,
Xxxxxxxxx, Xxx Xxxxxx (the “760 Lease”).
- 31 -
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties acknowledge and agree that this Lease, the 410
Lease and the 760 Lease are neither cross-defaulted nor cross-collateralized, and that neither the
Landlord nor its respective affiliates that are landlords under the 410 Lease and 760 Lease shall
be permitted to exercise any remedies under any particular lease unless and until a default has
occurred under such lease, and all applicable notice and cure periods, if any, thereunder have
expired.
26. Surrender Obligations.
26.1 Notwithstanding any contrary or inconsistent language in this Lease, the obligation of
the Tenant to remove alterations, improvements, equipment and fixtures upon any termination of this
Lease and the rights of the Landlord to elect that alterations, improvements, equipment and
fixtures installed by Tenant in the Demised Premises shall be left in place upon any termination of
the Lease shall be unchanged from those obligations and rights as they exist under the terms of the
Comdisco Lease, a true and complete copy of which is annexed hereto, as Schedule “F” and the terms
of which are incorporated herein for purposes of reference with respect to the restoration issues
only. The rights of the parties respecting all future alterations, improvements and fixtures
installed by the Tenant shall continue to be determined under the provisions of the Comdisco Lease
throughout the Term of this Lease and all option terms provided for by this Lease.
26.2 Notwithstanding the foregoing and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the
Comdisco Lease, the Tenant shall not be permitted or required to remove the conduits and the wiring
from the public right of way to the Building at the Demised Premises, and the conduits and wiring
therein running from the Building to the buildings located at 000 Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx and 000
Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx, shall not be removed at the Termination Date and shall become the sole property
of the Landlord from and after the Termination Date.
27. INTENTIONALLY OMITTED.
28. Environmental Covenants: Each of Landlord and Tenant represents, covenants,
promises and agrees to and with the other party, as follows:
28.1 Tenant agrees to take all requisite action to insure Tenant’s material compliance with
all applicable federal, state and local laws relating to pollution of the environment, hazardous
substances, air pollution, clean air, soil, environmental protection, hazardous waste, toxic

preparation of submissions, declarations, reports and plans pursuant to the Acts. If the New
Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) shall determine that a clean-up plan or
Remedial Action Work plan must be prepared and that a clean-up be undertaken because of any spills
or discharges of Hazardous Substances at the Premises which occur during any period when Tenant was
an occupant, other than as a result of any wrongful or negligent action or omission on the part of
the Landlord, Xxxxx Development, LLC, or their respective agents, servants, employees, licensees,
tenants (other the Tenant), invitees or contractors, or those which result from the migration of
Hazardous Substances to or under the Premises from other property, then Tenant promptly shall
remediate such Release at Tenant’s sole expense, in accordance with the provisions of all
applicable Environmental Laws, including the Acts. Tenant shall indemnify, defend and save the
Landlord harmless from all fines, suits, procedures, claims and actions of any kind arising out of
or in any way connected with any spills or discharges of Hazardous Substances at the Premises which
occur during the term of Tenant’s occupancy, other than as a result of any wrongful or negligent
action or omission on the part of the Landlord, Xxxxx Development, LLC, or their respective agents,
servants, employees, licensees, tenants (other the Tenant), invitees or contractors, or those which
result from the migration of Hazardous Substances to or under the Premises from properties other

shall continue so long as the Landlord remains responsible for any spills or discharges of
hazardous substances or wastes at the Premises which occur during the Term.
28.5 No lien has been attached, nor shall any lien be allowed to attach to any real or
personal property owned by Tenant and located at the Demised Premises, pursuant to applicable
Environmental Laws, including, without limitation, the Spill Act and/or CERCLA.

Tenant’s property thereon, by DEP under the Spill Act or under CERCLA as a result of Tenant’s acts
or omissions with respect thereto, Tenant shall within thirty (30) days from the date the Tenant is

Jersey has commenced steps to cause a sale pursuant to the lien, either: (a) pay the claim and
remove the lien; or (b) furnish (1) a bond reasonably satisfactory to Landlord and/or DEP in the
amount of the claim out of which the lien arises, (2) a cash deposit in the amount of the claim out
of which the lien arises, or (3) other security reasonably satisfactory to Landlord in an amount
sufficient to discharge the claim out of which the lien arises. Tenant reserves the right to

(a) The Tenant, in addition to the rent reserved, shall pay at its own cost and expense, all
of the real estate and personal property taxes assessed against the Leased Premises, including
the land and Building, including such added assessment or omitted assessment as may be levied
against the premises by the Borough of Carlstadt during the term of this lease, said obligation
to commence and be prorated as of the Commencement Date of the Lease, and be prorated as of the
date of termination or expiration of the term. (Landlord represents to Tenant that Landlord knows
of no such assessment). The basis of such proration with reference to local improvement installed
and any assessment by a governmental agency shall be the period during the term of this lease
that the property is or is likely to be benefited as measured against the life of the benefit,
not the date when payments are due, e.g., if the assessment for local improvement were for a
sidewalk having a useful life of forty (40) years and the remainder of the term of the lease were
four (4) years, the Tenant would be responsible for ten (10%) percent of the assessment.
(b) It is the intention of the parties hereto that during the term of this lease the Tenant
shall, at its own cost and expense, bear, pay and discharge, before any fine, penalty, interest or
cost may be added for the nonpayment thereof, all taxes, water, rent, sewer charges, and license
and permit fees, (herein called “Impositions”), provided the Landlord furnishes Tenant at least 30
days before due, with the xxxx covering such Imposition or if there is no xxxx, then notice of such
Imposition, together with any interest or penalties lawfully imposed upon the late payment thereof
if imposed because of Tenant’s failure to make timely payment within the time period herein
specified, which pursuant to the present or future law or otherwise, during the term hereby granted
and any renewal term hereof, shall be levied, charged, or become due and payable out of or for, or
become a lien on the premises or any portion thereof, the Building and any building and
improvements hereafter erected upon the Leased Premises by the Tenant, the appurtenances thereto,
the sidewalks or streets, adjacent
9
thereto, any use or occupancy of the land, and such franchises as may be appurtenant to the
use and occupation of the Leased Premises EXCEPT income taxes assessed against the Landlord,
capital levy, estate, succession, inheritance, or transfer taxes payable by the Landlord,
corporate franchises, capital stock, loans and bonus taxes imposed upon any owner of the fee of
the Leased Premises, and any income, profits or revenue tax, assessment or charge imposed upon
rent as such payable by the Tenant under this lease and any renewal thereof or any tax or charge
in replacement or substitution of the foregoing or of a similar character. If at any time during
the term of the lease or of any renewal hereof, the present method of taxation shall be changed so
that the whole or any part of the real estate taxes, sewer and water charges shall be levied and
imposed wholly or partially as a capital levy or otherwise on the rents received from said real
estate or the rents reserved herein or in any renewal hereof or any part of either, or shall be
measured by or based in whole or in part, upon the Building and improvements now or hereafter
erected and maintained upon the Leased Premises, as the sole asset of the Landlord, and shall be
imposed upon the Landlord, the Tenant shall pay the same, as the same respectively comes due
together with any interest or penalties lawfully imposed upon the late payment thereof if imposed
because of Tenant’s failure to make timely payment within the time periods herein specified.
The Tenant, upon the Landlord’s request, shall furnish to the Landlord and to each holder of
the mortgage on the Leased Premises before the date when any tax, water and sewer rent and charges
would become delinquent, receipts or other proof reasonably satisfactory to the Landlord or such
mortgagee, as the case may be, evidencing the payment of such Imposition.
Unless the Tenant notifies the Landlord in writing that the Tenant intends within a reasonable
time to proceed as in subparagraph (c) hereof provided, and if the Tenant shall fail for thirty
(30) days after written notice and demand given to the Tenant by Landlord, to pay any Imposition
within the time permitted by law for the
10
payment thereof without interest or penalty, the Landlord may pay the same with all interest
and penalties lawfully imposed upon the late payment thereof, and the amount so paid by the
Landlord with interest thereon [commencing the later of (i) the date of Landlord’s payment or (ii)
thirty (30) days after such notice] at the rate of prime plus two (2%) percent per annum from the
date of payment by the Landlord, shall thereupon be and become immediately due and payable to the
Landlord by the Tenant as additional rent. The basis for proration of the Tenant’s obligations
under this subsection 7(b) shall be the period during the term of this lease that the property is
or is likely to be benefited as measured against the life of the benefit. [See example in Article
7(a)].
(c) In the event the Tenant wishes to contest any assessment or levy or Impositions on the
Leased Premises, the Landlord covenants and agrees that it will lend its name and execute all
papers necessary to aid the Tenant in contesting or litigating said assessment or levy provided,
however, that said litigation or contest shall be at the cost and expense of the Tenant, and that
the Tenant shall indemnify the Landlord from any fines or penalties, which may be occasioned as a
result of any such contest, and Tenant shall be entitled to any refunds from the taxing
authorities.
(d) Landlord shall have the option, upon thirty (30) days written notice to Tenant, to
require the Tenant to pay the real estate taxes in monthly installments in advance.
8. INSURANCE
(a) The Landlord shall carry for the joint benefit of the Landlord and the Tenant fire
insurance, general public liability insurance, rent insurance and flood insurance in an amount
equal to the replacement value of the Building and not less than the requirements of the mortgagee
holding the mortgage on said premises. At the time of completion, the value of the Building will be
approximately $20,000,000.00. Tenant shall pay to Landlord on an annual basis, in advance, the cost
of said insurance.
11
Tenant shall pay said annual cost for the insurance every year during the term of the Lease
and Landlord shall provide Tenant each year with copies of the binder and xxxx.
(b) In addition, Tenant, at its expense, shall maintain public liability insurance, casualty
and extended coverage insurance of Tenant’s improvements, contents and personal property at the
Leased Premises for replacement value thereof.
(c) No insurance to be provided by the Tenant pursuant to this Lease shall be required to be
in effect prior to the commencement of the term hereof.
9. SIGNS
The Tenant shall have the right to erect and maintain one (1) or more ground signs on the
Premises, provided same complies with all regulations of applicable governmental agencies having
jurisdiction thereof, and provided the installation has received prior written approval of the
Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, that the erection of such
sign or signs will not result in material damage to the leased premises upon removal. In addition,
Landlord consents to the Tenant mounting a sign on the Building provided no penetrations are made
in the brick on the Building. All signs shall be the property of Tenant and removed by the Tenant
at the termination of this Lease without damage to the Premises.
10. FIXTURES
Tenant is given the right and privilege of installing and removing property, equipment and
fixtures in the Leased Premises during the term of the Lease, it being understood and agreed,
however, that in the event of the termination or expiration of this Lease, if the Tenant fails to
remove any such property, equipment, fixtures or other property as of the termination of the Lease,
in that event and provided the Landlord has given Tenant at least ten (10) days’ notice of
Landlord’s intent to treat said property as abandoned, the said property, equipment and fixtures
shall be deemed abandoned by Tenant and shall become the property of the Landlord, and
12
Tenant shall be responsible for all costs incurred by the Landlord in removing said fixtures.
11. ASSIGNMENT, SUBLETTING AND RECAPTURE
Tenant may assign this lease in whole or in part or sublease all or part of the premises to any party, subject to the following:
(a) Tenant may, at any time and from time to time, during the term of this lease, give
Landlord notice of Tenant’s intention to seek to sublease all or part of the premises or to assign
this lease as to all or part of the premises. Such notice shall designate (i) if a partial
subletting or assignment is contemplated, the specific part of the premises to be covered by such
subletting or assignment; (ii) if a subletting is contemplated, the period of such subletting; and
(iii) the name and address of the contemplated sublessee or assignee, if known. Such notice shall
be accompanied by a copy of a letter of intent, if any, and by such other information as may be
available in written or graphic form and describe the negotiations or discussions between the
parties to the contemplated assignment or sublease. For a period of fifteen (15) days from the
giving of such notice, Landlord shall have a recapture option, only if seventy five (75) percent or
more of the premises is sought to be assigned or subleased, whereby, in effect Landlord may cancel
this lease as to all or the part of the premises (as the case may be), for the remainder of the
lease term or any extended term, with the basic rent thenceforth payable under this lease and the
proportionate share used in computing additional rent thenceforth payable under this lease to be
reduced so as to reflect the reduction of the area of the premises resulting from such recapture.
Such recapture option shall be exercised by Landlord’s giving Tenant notice of such exercise prior
to the expiration of such recapture option period. Upon exercise of such recapture option
Landlord and Tenant shall execute and deliver such instruments as shall be necessary to effectuate
the above recapture provisions, to provide that for the remainder of the lease term or any extended
term Tenant be entirely relieved of any and all obligations accruing after the effective date of
the recapture as to the
13
portion of the premises recaptured. Landlord and Tenant shall, at the request of either party,
execute a memorandum in recordable form to memorialize said recapture. At the expiration of the
period of time covered by the recapture the portion of the premises recaptured shall revert back
to Tenant and this lease shall continue in full force and effect as if the recapture had not
occurred. During the period of such recapture, alterations to the recaptured space shall be
subject to Tenant’s consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The
recaptured space, including leasehold improvements thereto, which are not the property of the
occupant of such space during the recapture period, shall, at the time said space reverts to
Tenant, be in the same condition, subject to reasonable wear, tear and damage by fire, the
elements, casualty, or other cause not due to the neglect of Landlord, such occupant or their
agents, visitors, servants or licensees, as existing at the commencement of the recapture period.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Landlord elects to recapture the entire
Leased Premises in response to due notice from the Tenant, the Tenant shall be relieved of any
further obligation under this lease for the balance of the term, regardless of the fact that the
term of the lease, by the Tenant, was less than the full term of the lease, (e.g., after the end
of the first lease year Tenant gives Landlord notice of the proposed sublease of the entire
premises for two (2) years, and the Landlord elects to recapture, the Tenant shall have no further
obligation to perform under any of the terms and conditions of the lease). If Landlord recaptures,

casualty, Landlord shall commence promptly, subject to the approval of
15
governmental agencies having jurisdiction, and with reasonable dispatch continue to restore

Premise at his sole cost and expense and then await the insurance proceeds.
(b) The loss, if any, under policies pursuant to this lease shall be adjusted with the
insurers by the Landlord. The loss as adjusted shall be paid to the Landlord to rebuild the

escrowee selected by the Landlord and approved by the Tenant, or in the event there is
an institutional first mortgagee, such lender shall have the right to act as escrowee.
Such insurance proceeds shall be paid in escrow by such escrowee as a trust fund for
the purpose of paying for the cost of repairing, replacing, restoring or rebuilding the
property or equipment so damaged by fire or other risks covered by such insurance
and the cost of making temporary repairs or doing such work as may be necessary to
protect the Leased Premises against further injury. Such insurance proceeds shall be
disbursed by such escrowee in accordance with the provisions of subparagraph (f) of
this paragraph. The escrowee shall be entitled to no compensation payable out of
such fund. If the net insurance proceeds held by the escrowee, as provided in this
subparagraph, shall exceed such cost, such excess shall belong to and be paid over to

by a reputable architect selected by the Landlord and approved by Tenant shall be
made under the supervision of such architect and shall not be undertaken until detailed
plans and specifications of such work shall have been filed with and approved by the
Tenant. The Tenant shall not unreasonably withhold or delay its approval to the plans
16
and specifications submitted to, and if Tenant fails to respond by either approving or stating its
reasons for not approving within fifteen (15) business days after delivery thereof to it, they
shall be deemed approved by the Tenant. If the Tenant disapproves of such plans and specifications
within such period of time, such disapproval shall be in writing and shall specify the grounds
therefore. Upon such disapproval, and if the parties cannot resolve their differences within
twenty (20) days, the Landlord may submit to arbitration, in accordance with the provisions of
this Lease, the determination of whether the Tenant has unreasonably withheld its approval. If the
Tenant is held not to have unreasonably withheld its approval, the Landlord shall amend the plans
and specifications to meet the problem specified as the grounds for Tenant’s disapproval and
thereafter resubmit the plans and specifications, as so amended, to the Tenant for the Tenant’s
approval.
(e) Any monies paid to the parties or to any escrowee of the parties or to the person
hereafter described in this subparagraph, as the case may be, shall be paid as the work progresses
against the certificates of the architect in charge of such repairs, replacement and restoration,
or rebuilding showing that the amount stated in the particular certificate has been paid or is due
in respect of such work, together with the names and addresses of the persons, if any, to whom
such amounts are due. Until such repairs, replacement, restoration or rebuilding shall have been
fully completed, the total so paid over shall in no circumstances exceed eighty-five (85%) percent
thereof.
(f) There shall be an abatement or pro-rata reduction of Fixed Rent and other sums payable by
the Tenant hereunder immediately (and Landlord shall be entitled to collect the rent insurance) by
reason of any damage or destruction to any building or equipment or any part thereof now or
hereafter on the Leased Premises, or by reason of any repair, replacement, restoration or
rebuilding, and the Tenant shall be entitled to terminate the Lease by reason thereof, in the event
Landlord does not notify Tenant
17
within thirty (30) days of the casualty that it intends to restore the premises, or if the
premises are not fully restored within ninety (90) days of the casualty.
(g) In the event the insurance proceeds are insufficient to repair, replace, restore or
rebuild the property and equipment on the Leased Premises, the Landlord shall be responsible for
and shall promptly pay any deficiency therein.
(h) If the damage shall occur in the last two (2) years of the term and/or shall be so
extensive that the Building is totally destroyed (the Building shall be deemed totally destroyed
if the cost of restoration shall exceed fifty (50%) percent of the replacement value, exclusive of
the cost of foundation and excavation) this lease and the term hereby granted shall at the option
of either party cease and the rent shall be apportioned to the date of destruction. In the such
event the insurance proceeds covering Landlord’s interest shall be turned over to and belong to
the Landlord, if the policy permits.
(i) If the Leased Premises is substantially damaged or destroyed by a casualty which is not
covered by the insurance that Tenant is required to maintain pursuant to this lease and Landlord is
not carrying additional insurance that would cover said casualty, either party shall have the right
to terminate this lease by giving notice to the other party, which notice of termination shall be
thirty (30) days after the date on which such notice of termination is given, and (i) upon the date
specified in such notice, this lease and the term hereof shall cease and expire, and (ii) Fixed
Rent or other sums paid by the Tenant for a period after such date of termination shall be refunded
to Tenant upon demand, as well as the security deposit and prepaid rent paid hereunder.

13. CONDEMNATION
(a) If the whole of the Premises shall be taken under the exercise of the power of
condemnation or eminent domain, then this Lease shall automatically terminate on the date that
title or possession is taken by the condemner, whichever occurs first, and the rent shall be
apportioned as of said date. If any part of the Premises be so taken so as to materially restrict,
limit or adversely affect the use, occupancy or enjoyment of Tenant, then Tenant shall have the
option to terminate this Lease by thirty (30) days’ written notice to the Landlord, which notice
must be given within ninety (90) days after possession or title on the partial taking is obtained
by condemner, and the rent shall be apportioned on the effective date of termination of the Lease
by Tenant.

cost and expense, restore the remaining portion of the Premises to the extent necessary to render
it reasonably suitable for the purposes for which it was leased, shall provide finished parking
facilities equivalent to those originally furnished to Tenant, and shall make all repairs to the
Building in which the Premises is located to the extent necessary to constitute the Building a
complete architectural unit, provided, however, that if the amount of the award received by
Landlord is not adequate to cover the cost of such restoration or repairing, Landlord may elect by
written notice to Tenant to that effect to terminate this Lease.
(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Lease, Tenant’s use, occupancy or enjoyment of the
Premises will be deemed materially restricted if any portion of the Building or ground area of
sufficient size to deprive Tenant of ten percent (10%) or more of the available parking area on
site at the commencement of the term shall be taken under the exercise of the power of
condemnation or eminent domain.
(d) All compensation awarded or paid upon such a total or partial taking of the
Premises shall belong to and be the property of the Landlord, provided, however, that
19
nothing contained herein shall be construed to preclude the Tenant, as permitted by law, from
prosecuting any claim directly against the condemning authority in such condemnation proceedings
for loss of business, relocation costs or depreciation to, damage to, or cost of removal of, or
for the value of stock, trade fixtures, furniture, and other personal property belonging to
Tenant.
(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, all rights of the Landlord and Tenant to share in the
condemnation award shall be subject to the prior right of the institutional first mortgage lender
to receive all such condemnation funds to the extent of the balance then due on the first
mortgage.

33. SPECIAL DAMAGES

34. RENEWAL OPTION.
Comdisco shall have the right to renew the original Lease for two (2) five (5) year periods,
by providing owner with twelve (12) months prior written notice. The rental rate structure shall be
100% of the “Current Market Rental Rate” for comparable first class office buildings/warehouses in
the Pertinent Market. Thereafter, for the remainder of the renewal term, there shall be a three (3)
percent annual increase. For purposes of this Lease, the term “Current Market Rental Rate” shall
mean a rate comprised of the prevailing base rental rate for tenants per square foot of rental area
available in the Pertinent Market. Any such Rate shall take into account any market concessions
such as tenant improvements, free rent, constructions allowance, rent abatement, moving allowance,
etc. and comparable leases (on the bases of factors such as, but not limited to, size and location
of space and commencement dated and term of lease), if any, recently executed for space in the
30
Building and other office buildings/warehouses in the Pertinent Market which are comparable to
the Building in reputation, quality, age, size, location and level and quality of services provided
(the foregoing factors not being exclusive in identifying comparable buildings) and which are not
for any reason (such as, without limitation, economic distress) market anomalies. For the
purposes hereof, “Pertinent Market” shall mean within ten (10) miles of the location of the
Premises. If Landlord and Tenant do not agree on the Current Market Rental Rate fifteen (15) months
before the termination of the then existing term, each party shall appoint an arbitrator who shall
be a licensed real estate broker of the State of New Jersey, who shall be active in commercial
rentals in the Pertinent Market or an appraiser qualified as an M.A.I. having an office in New
Jersey. Such appointment shall be made by each party within thirty (30) days after notice of the
necessity of arbitration, and each party shall advise the other of their choice. On the failure of
either party to appoint an arbitrator within ten (10) days after notification of the appointment by
the other party, the person appointed arbitrator may appoint an arbitrator to represent the party
in default, which arbitrator shall not have served previously in a similar capacity for, or been
otherwise employed by, the non-defaulting party. The two arbitrators appointed in either manner
shall then proceed to make the determination of the Current Market Rental Rate for the renewal
period and the mutual decision of the two arbitrators shall be binding on the parties. In the event
of their inability to reach a result, they may select a third arbitrator, who shall not have served
previously in a similar capacity for, or been employed by, either party. If the two arbitrators are
unable to agree on a third arbitrator, a then sitting Judge of the Superior Court of New Jersey
shall appoint the third arbitrator. The third arbitrator shall choose one of the two appraisals
closest to market value and his determination shall be final and binding upon the parties. For
this calculation, the building shall be a total of 301,827 square feet, consisting of 259,908
square feet on the first (1st) floor and 41,919 square feet on the second
(2nd) floor.

Space, the Landlord shall be free to negotiate with the prospect without any further obligation to
Tenant. The Landlord’s obligation to notify Tenant shall be continuous until the property is
developed.
(b) At any time after two (2) years from the commencement of the Initial Term, if the
Expansion Space becomes available, as an initial development of vacant office/warehouse space, the

36. RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER TO PURCHASE
Tenant shall be granted a right of first offer to negotiate for the purchase of the Building.
Landlord agrees to provide Tenant with written notice of the availability of the Building for sale
and offer the Building in its entirety to Tenant on such terms and conditions as Landlord would
offer to third parties, as determined by Landlord in its sole and absolute discretion, prior to
marketing said space to third parties. Tenant shall have sixty (60) days from the date of
Landlord’s Notice to respond in writing to the same. If Landlord has not received a written
response by the end of said sixty (60) day period or if Tenant declines to accept Landlord’s offer
or makes a counteroffer which Landlord shall reject, in writing, as unacceptable in Landlord’s
sole and absolute discretion, Landlord shall thereafter be free to market the Building and sell
the Building for not less than the counter-offer submitted by Tenant If Landlord and Tenant agree
on terms for the sale of the Building, but are subsequently unable, in good faith, to consummate
an agreement with respect thereto acceptable to both Landlord and Tenant, Landlord shall
thereafter be free to market the Building and sell the Building on such terms and conditions as
landlord shall determine, in its sole and absolute discretion, without any further obligation to
offer said Building again to Tenant.
37. STATEMENT OF COMPETITORS
Landlord agrees that it will not lease space in the Expansion Space to or maintain any sign
for any competitor of Tenant’s Business Recovery Services Division, including but not limited to
IBM, GE Capital, IBM Business Recovery Services or Sunguard Business Recovery Services without
Tenant’s prior written consent. For so long as this Lease, including any Renewal or Expansion
hereof, as provided in Sections 34 and 35, respectively, is in full force and effect, Landlord
agrees not to sell the Building to a competitor of Tenant, including but not limited to IBM, GE
Capital, IBM Business Recovery Services and Sungard Business Recovery Services.

38. ELECTRICAL SUBSTATION
The Landlord shall design and provide at no cost to the Tenant an area on site sufficient to
house an electrical substation which will be constructed by Tenant. In the event that in the future
the Landlord requires additional electrical service from the substation, provided that Landlord’s
use does not interfere with Tenant’s use of the substation, including but not limited to
degradation of electrical power, it shall have the right to add to the substation for such
additional electrical use, upon at least thirty (30) days prior written notice. In such event upon
the completion of such addition, Landlord shall share proportionately in the cost of maintenance of
such substation and shall be billed for such use at the same cost incurred by Tenant from the
electric supplier. In the event that the area provided by the Landlord for such substation is
insufficient for the Tenant’s purposes, Landlord will provide the additional space required for
such addition and replace it at no cost to the Tenant. Any parking spaces lost by virtue of such
increase shall be replaced by the Landlord on the south side of the building at no cost to the
Tenant so that the Tenant will always have a minimum of 378 parking spaces on site.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have hereunto set their hands and seals the day and
