ARTICLE Two
Title; Costs; Adjustments; Lease to Seller Affiliate.

Section 2.01 Buyer and Seller acknowledge that title to the Property will be transferred to Buyer at Closing. Title given will be marketable and insurable at regular rates by any reputable title insurance company selected by Buyer which is authorized to transact business in the State of New Jersey and subject to the Permitted Exceptions (as defined below).

Section 2.02 During the Due Diligence Period (as defined below) , Buyer, at its expense, shall obtain a commitment for title insurance in a form customarily issued by a title insurer in the State of New Jersey as well as any customary endorsements for fee owners or as may be requested by a lender in the full amount of the Purchase Price and any mortgage loan amount by any reputable title insurance company licensed to do business in the State of New Jersey, at regular rates, which policy shall insure that the fee simple title to the Property is vested in Buyer free and clear of all liens and encumbrances other than (i) those easements, covenants and agreements of record provided same are not violated by the current condition of the Property, the current existing structure or the current use thereof; (ii) taxes not yet due and payable; (iii) present and future zoning and other governmental laws and regulations; and (iv) all facts that would be revealed by an accurate survey of the Property provided same accurately reflects the dimensions of the Property and does not reflect any restrictions or easements which will materially adversely affect the current use of the Property (collectively, the “Permitted Exceptions”).

Section 2.03 If the title to the Property shall not be good and marketable in the condition required hereunder Buyer shall notify Seller thereof specifying the title defects prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period and Seller shall have a reasonable time not to exceed fifteen (15) days to correct same (during which period the Closing Date shall be adjourned if necessary). In the event the title condition is not corrected by the end of such fifteen (15) day period, Buyer may either accept the title “AS IS” or terminate this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Seller in all events shall be required to cure any and each financial encumbrance (“Financial Encumbrance”) such as a mortgage, judgment, lien for delinquent real estate taxes, attachment, lien claim or other lien (including, without limitation, mechanic’s or materialmen’s liens) or encumbrance of a definite or ascertainable amount which may be removed by the payment of money that is revealed by the title report. In addition, Seller shall be required to provide any organizational documents, resolutions and consents reasonably requested by the Escrow Agent.

Section 2.04 In connection with the owner’s title insurance policy which Buyer intends to obtain at its sole cost and expense in connection with this transaction, Seller undertakes and agrees to provide information to, and execute any and all customary and reasonable certificates and affidavits required by, the issuing title insurance company, in order that Buyer may have any exclusions or exceptions to coverage removed (other than the Permitted Exceptions).

Section 2.05 Seller shall pay for preparation of the deed and for any basic seller’s realty transfer tax thereon. Buyer shall pay for recording the deed, for any any mansion tax if applicable, for all searches, a survey, if required, all title company settlement charges and title insurance costs and for all other financing, conveyancing and closing expenses. Each party shall pay its own legal fees.

Section 2.06 All property taxes, assessments for municipal improvements, lienable water and sewer charges and any other such items which are unpaid and assessed or charged against the Property shall be apportioned between Buyer and Seller as of the Closing date. Real estate taxes shall be apportioned on the basis of the calendar year for which assessed, except that if the Closing shall occur before the final tax rate is fixed, the apportionment of taxes shall be tentative, based upon the parties’ best knowledge of the current year’s assessment. At such time as the full year’s taxes are known, the parties shall thereafter adjust as of the date of Closing based upon the full year’s taxes. The obligations of this paragraph with regard to any adjustments or payments subsequent to Closing for real property taxes shall survive the Closing. In the event that any of such items cannot be determined at or prior to Closing, the parties agree to adjust such items as soon as determinable after Closing, which obligation shall survive Closing. Unless the purchase by Buyer hereunder is not consummated, Buyer shall comply, at Buyer’s cost, with all requirements of public authority relating to the Property, imposed after the date hereof.

Section 2.07 At Closing, a lease (the “Lease”) substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “B” shall be executed by both Buyer (as landlord) and Seller (as tenant) for the Property. Seller (as Tenant) shall be required to execute an estoppel and Subordination and Non-Disclosure Agreement satisfactory to Buyer’s (as Landlord) lender and which are substantially in the form attached to the Lease as exhibits.

Section 2.08 Seller or any agent of Seller shall have the right to prosecute and settle (and continue to prosecute and settle subsequent to the Closing) any pending real estate tax appeals affecting the Property for the tax year in which the Closing occurs and all prior tax years. Any refunds obtained for any tax years prior to the tax year in which the Closing occurs shall be paid to Seller or Seller’s designee. Any refunds obtained for the tax year in which the Closing occurs (net of Seller’s costs of prosecuting such tax appeal including all legal and appraisal fees) shall be apportioned as of the Closing upon actual receipt of such refund, with any portion thereof allocable to periods subsequent to the Closing to be paid to Buyer and the remainder to be paid to Seller or Seller’s designee. If so required by the hearing authority, Buyer shall cooperate, at no cost to Buyer, by authorizing Seller’s counsel to continue to prosecute the tax appeal in Buyer’s name post-Closing, for the benefit of Buyer and Seller as described in this Section 2.08. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Seller shall not file real estate tax appeals for any tax years subsequent to the year in which the Closing occurs without the Buyer’s consent. In addition, the Seller shall not agree to a settlement of any pending real estate tax appeals affecting the Property for the tax year in which the Closing occurs or prior years which includes an agreement as to tax years following the year in which the Closing occurs, without the Buyer’s consent. The provisions of this paragraph shall survive the Closing.

(“ISRA”) and that the execution of this Agreement will trigger the application of ISRA to the Property and could result in the administrative merger of the two ISRA cases, or Seller’s pursuit of separate ISRA cases.

Section 8.02 Seller shall be responsible for complying with ISRA and shall do so in such manner as is determined by Seller in Seller’s reasonable discretion, at Seller’s sole cost and expense, which shall not materially and adversely affect Buyer’s ability to continue the current commercial and industrial use of the Property, within the existing footprint of improvements on the Property as hereinafter set forth (the “Seller’s ISRA Obligations”).

Section 8.04 Buyer shall cooperate with Seller’s ISRA Obligations, at no cost to Buyer, by executing any ISRA-related forms and covenants which are required to be executed by a buyer of an ISRA-subject property and consistent with a remediation to commercial standards provided Buyer does not incur any additional expense or liability by virtue of executing such forms and covenants, including one or more Remedial Action Permits (“RAP”) as required for the establishment of any engineering or institutional controls (individually, a “Control” and collectively, the “Controls”). Buyer shall not take any action, nor neglect to take any action which would have the result of unreasonably interfering with, delaying, or making materially more expensive, Seller’s ISRA Obligations. Correspondingly, Seller shall not propose, install, adopt or impose through the ISRA process engineering or institutional controls that impose upon Buyer or Buyer’s future tenants operation and maintenance costs associated therewith, other than those Controls which require the routine inspection of impervious surfaces and caps and routine maintenance thereof to correct and repair any breaches, potholes, or similar disturbances (“Routine Controls”).

A “Lease Year” represents that one year period starting on the Commencement Date, for the first Lease Year, or starting on the anniversary of the Commencement Date for succeeding Lease Years, and ending on the day before the next anniversary of the Commencement Date.

(b) Tenant intends to sublease 40,000 sq. ft. of the Premises (the “Sublet Space”). Tenant shall receive an abatement of the Base Rent allocable to the Sublet Space in the amount of $21,666.66 per month for the period from the Commencement Date until the date which is the earlier of (i) the commencement date of the sublease for the Sublet Space and (ii) 180 days after the Commencement Date. The first month’s Base Rent amount shall be pro-rated based on the number of days remaining in that month during which the Commencement Date occurs.

B-2

(c) The Base Rent for each Lease Year succeeding the first Lease Year during the Initial Term and any extended term shall be an amount computed by multiplying the Base Rent of the preceding Lease Year by 102.5%.

(d) Tenant shall pay the Base Rent promptly in advance on the first day of each month, without notice or demand, and without any abatement, deduction or setoff except as may be expressly provided in Section 16 herein. No payment by Tenant, or receipt or acceptance by Landlord, of a lesser amount than the correct and full Base Rent shall be deemed to be other than a payment on account, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or letter accompanying any payment be deemed an accord or satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such payment without prejudice to its right to recover the balance due or to pursue any other remedy available to Landlord.

(e) In the event any monthly installment of Base Rent or Additional Rent (as hereinafter defined), or both, is not paid within 5 days of the date when due, a late charge in an amount equal to 5% of the then delinquent installment of Base Rent and/or Additional Rent (the “Late Charge”) shall be payable by Tenant within ten (10) days written demand therefor.

Section 2.02 Additional Rent. All other amounts payable by Tenant hereunder, whether payable to Landlord or to third parties, including without limitation taxes, insurance, utilities and maintenance, shall be considered “Additional Rent” payable by Tenant hereunder.

Section 2.03 Manner of Payment. All amounts payable under Section 2.01 of this Article, as well as all other amounts payable by Tenant to Landlord under the terms of this Lease, shall be paid, in U.S. currency at the office of Landlord set forth above, or at such other place within the continental limits of the United States as Landlord shall from time to time designate by written notice to Tenant.

Section 2.04 Net Lease. It is intended that the Base Rent provided for herein shall be a net return to Landlord throughout the Initial Term of this Lease and any Extended Terms hereof. It is the intent of the parties hereto that this agreement be and is a triple-net Lease with the Landlord having no obligations relating to the cost, insurance, taxes, upkeep, maintenance, repair and/or structure of the premises or anything else relating the premises and tenancy unless otherwise specifically provided herein.

Section 2.05 Security Deposit.

(a) The initial security deposit to be posted by Tenant shall be equal to eight (8) months Base Rent, totaling Five Hundred Fifty Seven Thousand Nine Hundred and Three Dollars and 68/00 ($557,903.68) (the “Security Deposit”). Upon execution of this Lease, the Security Deposit shall be delivered to Landlord by Tenant in cash. Provided that Tenant maintains Net Liquidity (defined below) of no less than $1,000,000.00, the total Security Deposit will be reduced by an amount equal to one (1) month’s then-current Base Rent on each six-month anniversary of the Commencement Date (and the amount of each such reduction shall be promptly remitted by Landlord to Tenant), until such time as the total Security Deposit has been reduced to an aggregate amount equal to three (3) months of the then-current monthly Base Rent. Landlord shall pay interest on the Security Deposit at an annual rate of 1.25%. Any interest accrued or earned on the Security Deposit shall be the property of Tenant, shall not constitute part of the Security Deposit, and shall be remitted to Tenant on request. For purposes of this Section 2.05, the term “Net Liquidity” shall mean Tenant’s unrestricted, unreserved cash on hand and in banks, other than the Security Deposit. At all times the Security Deposit amount must be a multiple of the then-current monthly Base Rent amount and upon each increase in the monthly Base Rent pursuant to Section 2.01 above, Tenant shall increase the Security Deposit accordingly.

(b) If Tenant defaults in the performance of any of its covenants hereunder, Landlord may, with notice to Tenant as required in Section 11.03, apply all or any part of the Security Deposit, to the extent required for the payment of any Rent or other sums due from Tenant hereunder, in addition to any other remedies available to Landlord. In the event the Security Deposit is so applied, Tenant shall, within ten (10) days of written demand by Landlord, immediately deposit in accordance with Tenant’s Election above a sum equal to the amount so used. If Tenant fully and faithfully complies with all the covenants and obligations hereunder, the Security Deposit (or any balance thereof) and any accrued interest shall be returned to Tenant within thirty (30) days after the last to occur of (i) the date the Demised Term expires or terminates or (ii) delivery to Landlord of possession of the Premises. Landlord may deliver the Security Deposit to any successor to Landlord’s interest in the Premises, and thereupon Landlord a shall be discharged from any further liability with respect to the Security Deposit.

(a) The term “Operating Expenses” shall include the actual costs and expenses paid or incurred by Landlord with respect to the ownership, repair, replacement, restoration, maintenance and operation of the Premises which are consistent with the classification of the Premises as an industrial/flex space building, including, without limitation, the following: (i) out of pocket expenses (not salaries) for services provided directly by employees of Landlord or an agent of Landlord in connection with the operation, maintenance or rendition of other services to or for the Premises; (ii) to the extent not separately metered, billed, or furnished, all charges for utilities and services furnished to the Premises, together with any taxes on such utilities; (iii) all premiums for casualty, workers’ compensation, liability, boiler, flood and all other types of insurance provided by Landlord and relating to the Premises, all third party administrative costs incurred in connection with the procurement and implementation of such insurance policies, and all deductibles paid by Landlord pursuant to insurance policies required to be maintained by Landlord under this Lease; (iv) the cost of all supplies, tools, materials and equipment utilized in the ownership and operation of the Premises, and sales and other taxes thereon; (v) amounts charged by any or all of contractors, materialmen and suppliers for services, materials and supplies furnished to Landlord in connection with any or all of the operation, repair and maintenance of any part of the Premises (together with a reasonable overhead and administrative fee to Landlord), including, without limitation, the structural elements of the Premises; (vi) management fees to an agent of Landlord or other persons or management entities actually involved in the management and operation of the Premises; (vii) any capital improvements made by, or on behalf of, Landlord to the Premises that are either or both (a) designed to reduce Operating Expenses and (b) required to keep the Premises in compliance with all governmental laws, rules and regulations applicable thereto, from time to time, subject to the amortization described in Section 3.08(d) below; (viii) all reasonable professional fees incurred in connection with the operation, management and maintenance of the Premises; (ix) maintenance and repair costs, dues, fees and assessments incurred under any applicable covenant or easement agreement or charged by any owner or park association; (x) maintenance and repair of the sprinklers and life-safety systems and costs of snow removal and landscaping; and (xi) Taxes, as defined in Section 3.01.

(b) Operating Year. The term “Operating Year” shall mean the calendar year commencing January 1st of each year (including the calendar year within which the Commencement Date occurs) during the Demised Term.

(c) Payment of Estimated Additional Rent. Landlord shall have the right to reasonably estimate the Operating Expenses for each Operating Year. Upon Landlord’s notice to Tenant of such estimated amount, Tenant shall pay, on the first day of each month during that Operating Year, an amount (the “Estimated Additional Rent”) equal to the estimate of Tenant’s Prorata Share of Operating Expenses divided by 12 (or the fractional portion of the Operating Year remaining at the time Landlord delivers its notice of the estimated amounts due from Tenant for that Operating Year). If the aggregate amount of Estimated Additional Rent actually paid by Tenant during any Operating Year is less than Tenant’s actual ultimate liability for Operating Expenses for that particular Operating Year, Tenant shall pay the deficiency within 30 days of Landlord’s written demand therefor. If the aggregate amount of Estimated Additional Rent actually paid by Tenant during a given Operating Year exceeds Tenant’s actual liability for such Operating Year, the excess shall be credited against the Estimated Additional Rent next due from Tenant during the immediately subsequent Operating Year, except that in the event that such excess is paid by Tenant during the final Lease Year, then upon the expiration of the Demised Term, Landlord or Agent shall pay Tenant the then-applicable excess promptly after determination thereof.

(d) Amortization of Certain Operating Expenses. The cost of those capital improvements described in Section 3.08(a)(vii) above, along with any single Operating Expense which exceeds $50,000 (but not including any Operating Expense which is the cost to repair any damage caused by Tenant or Tenant’s employees, agents or contractors)(each, a “CapX Expense”) shall be amortized over the useful life thereof determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied (the “Useful Life”) and Tenant’s prorata share of such expense shall be calculated by multiplying the amount of the expense by a fraction the numerator of which is the remaining number of years in the then-current Demised Term and the denominator of which is the Useful Life, in years (“Tenant’s CapX Share”). Tenant shall pay Tenant’s total CapX Share for each particular CapX Expense the Demised Term promptly upon request by Landlord. Upon any renewal or extension of the Demised Term, Tenant’s CapX Share for such renewal/extension term shall be recalculated provided however that the Useful Life shall not be re-calculated. In the event the Demised Term or any renewal/extension thereof is terminated or Tenant is relocated pursuant to Article 18 below, Landlord shall within thirty (30) days of the Relocation Date or the date this Lease terminates, whichever is applicable, remit to Tenant any amounts paid pursuant to this Section 3.08(d) for periods of time beyond the Relocation Date or termination date of the Lease, as applicable.

Section 3.09 Utility Charges. Except as otherwise set forth in Section 1.05, Tenant shall pay or cause to be paid its Prorata Share of all charges for gas, water, sewer, electricity, light, heat/cooling, power, telephone or other communication service or other utility or service used, rendered or supplied to, upon or in connection with the Premises throughout the Demised Term. Tenant shall also procure or cause to be procured any and all necessary material permits, licenses or other authorizations required for the lawful and proper use, occupation and operation of the Premises and for the lawful and proper installation and maintenance upon the Premises of wires, pipes, conduits, tubes and other equipment and appliances for use in supplying any such service to or upon the Premises.

Any overpayment of the Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of such increase in Real Property Taxes and assessments for any tax fiscal year shall be credited to rent thereafter due and payable, and any balance of such increase not covered by the monthly deposits shall be paid by the Tenant within five (5) days of the Landlord’s demand therefor. Any interest earned on the escrow deposits payable hereunder shall be and remain the property of the Landlord. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or elsewhere in this Lease, if at any time the taxing authority shall direct payment from the Landlord for taxes and/or assessments in advance of presently established due dates, Tenant shall be required to make its payments to Landlord called for hereunder in a manner so as to permit Landlord to comply with any such directives.

Section 3.11 Additional Rent. All costs and charges of whatever nature to be paid by Tenant under this Lease, whether to paid to Landlord or to any other party, shall be deemed “Additional Rent”, whether or not expressly so stated elsewhere in this Lease.

Tenant shall purchase and maintain, throughout the Demised Term, policies of (i) “all-risk” property insurance covering the Premises (at its full replacement cost), and damage to other property resulting from any acts or operations of Tenant, and (ii) workers’ compensation insurance per the applicable state statutes covering all employees of Tenant.

(c) Waiver of Subrogation. To the extent permitted by law, and without affecting the coverage provided by insurance required to be maintained hereunder, Landlord and Tenant each waive any right to recover against the other for (a) damages to property, (b) damages to all or any portion of the Premises, (c) claims arising by reason of the foregoing, to the extent such damages and claims are insured against, or required to be insured against, by Landlord or Tenant under this Lease, or (d) claims paid by Tenant’s workers’ compensation carrier. This provision is intended to waive, fully and for the benefit of each party, any rights and/or claims which might give rise to a right of subrogation by any insurance carrier. The coverage obtained by each party pursuant to this Lease shall include, without limitation, a waiver of subrogation by the carrier which conforms to the provisions of this section.

(d) Insurance Not Affecting Obligation to Rremediate. Tenant’s responsibility and liability under the Lease, and its duty to perform any investigation or cleanup of any Hazardous Substances, and to comply with Environmental Law, is not contingent upon the availability of any insurance coverage. With respect to claims under any Tenant insurance, Tenant, and not Landlord, shall be responsible to pay, satisfy and bear the cost of filing notices, pursuing and supporting claims, and satisfying any self-insured retention or deductibles.

Section 8.02 Adjustment of Loss. The loss, if any, under any or all of the policies provided for under Section 8.01 hereof, shall be adjusted with the insurance company or companies by Landlord and at the cost of Tenant. The loss so adjusted shall be paid to Landlord except to the extent the compensation is for Tenant’s personal property which shall be paid to Tenant.

Section 8.03 Damage or Casualty. Subject to the provisions of Section 8.04 below, if the Premises are damaged by fire or other insured casualty, Landlord shall repair the damage and restore and rebuild the Premises as soon as is commercially reasonable after (x) notice to it of the damage or destruction and (y) the adjustment of the insurance proceeds attributable to such damage and receipt of any proceeds to make such repairs. Tenant shall not be entitled to terminate this Lease or an abatement of the Base Rent and no damages, compensation or claim shall be payable by Landlord for purported inconvenience, loss of business or annoyance arising from any repair or restoration of any portion of the Premises pursuant to this Section, provided that (i) Tenant may continue to occupy and operate in the Premises while the restoration and rebuilding is conducted; and (ii) Landlord makes such repair or restoration promptly and in such manner as not to unreasonably interfere with Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Premises. It is agreed that Landlord shall not be required to do such repair or restoration work except during normal business hours.

Tenant agrees to carry rental insurance for the benefit of Landlord or at Landlord’s option to reimburse Landlord for Landlord’s cost of rental insurance which shall cover all fixed rent and additional rent due under this Lease for a period of eighteen months.

Section 8.04 Total Destruction.

(a) If the Premises shall be totally destroyed by fire or other casualty, or if the Premises shall be so damaged by fire or other casualty that (in the reasonable opinion of a reputable contractor or architect designated by Landlord): (i) its repair or restoration requires more than 270 days or (ii) such repair or restoration requires the expenditure of more than 50% of the full insurable value of the Premises immediately prior to the casualty or (iii) the damage (x) is less than the amount stated in (ii) above, but more than 10% of the full insurable value of the Premises and (y) occurs during the last two years of the Demised Term, Landlord or Tenant shall have the option to terminate this Lease (by so advising the other, in writing) within 30 days after said contractor or architect delivers written notice of its opinion to Landlord and Tenant. In such event, the termination shall be effective as of the date upon which one party receives written notice from the other terminating this Lease pursuant to the preceding sentence. If either party does not deliver a termination notice, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (A) any holder of a mortgage or deed of trust encumbering the Premises or Landlord pursuant to a ground lease encumbering the Premises (a “Superior Party”) or other party entitled to the insurance proceeds fails to make such proceeds available to Landlord in an amount sufficient for restoration of the Premises, or (B) the issuer of any casualty insurance policies on the Premises fails to make available to Landlord sufficient proceeds for restoration of the Premises, then Landlord may, at Landlord’s sole option, terminate this Lease by giving Tenant written notice to such effect within 30 days after Landlord receives notice from the Superior Party or insurance company, as the case may be, that such proceeds shall not be made available, in which event the termination of this Lease shall be effective as of the date Tenant receives written notice from Landlord of Landlord’s election to terminate this Lease. Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant, and Tenant shall not be entitled to terminate this Lease by virtue of any delays in completion of repairs and restoration. For purposes of this Section 9.04 only, “full insurable value” shall mean replacement cost, less the cost of footings, foundations and other structures below grade.

In the event Landlord has not completed restoration of the Premises within twelve (12) months from the date of the casualty, Tenant may terminate the Lease by written notice to Landlord within thirty (30) days following the expiration of such twelve month period unless, within thirty (30) days following Landlord’s receipt of such notice, Landlord has substantially completed such restoration sufficient for a certificate of occupancy to be issued.

Section 8.05 Cooperation in Actions. Each party will cooperate with other party, to such extent as the requesting party may reasonably require, in connection with the prosecution or defense of any action or proceeding arising out of, or for the collection of any insurance moneys that may be due in the event of, any loss or damage, and each party will execute and deliver to the other party such instruments as may be required to facilitate the recovery of any insurance monies.

Section 8.06 Notice of Casualty. Tenant shall give prompt notice to Landlord with respect to all fires or other casualties occurring upon the Premises where the apparent damage exceeds Fifteen Thousand Dollars ($15,000). Tenant shall be liable for any claim, loss, damage, cost or expense resulting from Tenant’s failure to give Landlord the foregoing notice in a timely manner.

Section 8.07 Insurance Proceeds. Landlord shall not be obligated to expend in repairs and restoration an amount in excess of the proceeds of insurance recovered with respect to any casualty. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord shall be entitled to the full proceeds of any insurance coverage, whether carried by Landlord or Tenant, for damage to the Premises (excluding any proceeds for damage to Tenant’s personal property). In the event that the Premises are not repaired or reconstructed, all proceeds of insurance (excluding any proceeds covering Tenant’s personal property), whether carried by Landlord or Tenant, shall be payable to Landlord. Landlord’s duty to repair the Premises is limited to repairing the Premises to the condition existing immediately prior to such fire or other casualty.

Section 8.08 Landlord’s Insurance. Landlord shall maintain fire and extended coverage and general liability insurance on the Building, and shall have the option to maintain any additional insurance which, in the exercise of its business judgment, is necessary and appropriate, including, but not being limited to, excess (umbrella) insurance. Tenant shall not keep anything in the leased premises except as now or hereafter permitted by the Fire Department, Board of Fire Underwriters, Fire Insurance Rating Organization, or other authority having jurisdiction. Tenant shall pay to the Landlord as additional rent, within five (5) days of demand therefore, one hundred (100%) percent of the amounts of the insurance premiums, and any expenses related thereto, payable by the Landlord in connection with the Building. Tenant shall pay, as additional rent, all costs, expenses, fines, penalties or damages which may be imposed upon the Landlord by reason of the Tenant’s failure to comply with the provisions of this Section.

Section 8.09 Policies. Tenant shall, at all times during the term of this Lease, maintain in full force and effect and on deposit at Landlord’s office a certificate of insurance or a duplicate original of the insurance policy, together with evidence of payment of premium. Any such policy shall provide that it shall not be cancelable without at least ten (10) days’ prior written notice to Landlord. If Tenant shall default in maintaining such insurance, Landlord may, at its option, and without waiving any of Landlord’s rights hereunder or releasing Tenant from any obligation hereunder, procure such insurance, and Tenant shall, on demand, reimburse Landlord, as Additional Rent, for the cost thereof. Tenant may use an umbrella policy to provide any coverage limits specifically required in this Article 8.

Section 8.10 Increase of Coverage Limits. Landlord shall have the right once during the Demised Term to increase the amounts of coverage required by Tenant and to require additional coverage provided the new coverage limits are commercially reasonable for similarly situated tenants.

Condemnation

Section 9.01 Condemnation. Tenant and Landlord shall promptly give the other written notice upon knowledge of the actual or threatened commencement of any condemnation or eminent domain proceeding or other governmental taking affecting the Premises (a “Condemnation”), and, to the extent not otherwise received, shall deliver to the other copies of any and all papers served in connection with such Condemnation. Tenant and Landlord shall be entitled to separately claim and pursue in connection with any Condemnation such separate awards as may be allowed from the applicable condemning governmental authority provided Tenant’s claim shall not in any manner cause a diminution in Landlords claim.

Section 9.02 Total Condemnation. If title to the fee of the whole or materially all of the Premises shall be taken in a Condemnation this Lease shall cease and terminate, and all Base Rent, additional rent and other charges paid or payable by Tenant hereunder shall be apportioned, as of the date of vesting of title in such condemnation proceedings, and the total award, except for that portion thereof awarded specifically to Tenant provided Tenant’s award shall not in any manner cause a diminution in Landlords award, shall be retained by Landlord.

For the purposes of this Section, a taking of the whole or materially all of the Premises shall be deemed to have occurred if the portion of the Premises not so taken, in Tenant’s reasonable, good faith judgment, cannot be reconstructed or repaired so as to constitute a facility usable by Tenant for the purposes which the Premises were being used by Tenant immediately prior to such taking.

Section 9.03 Partial Condemnation. If at any time during the Demised Term of this Lease, title to less than the whole or materially all of the Premises shall be taken as aforesaid, and a result of such taking, demolition, repair or restoration of the building is required, the award or proceeds shall be paid over to Landlord and applied toward the cost of demolition, repair and restoration, all of which shall be completed promptly. Any balance remaining in the hands of Landlord after payment of such costs of demolition, repair and restoration as aforementioned shall be the sole property of Landlord. From and after the date of such partial condemnation (i) the Lease Year Base Rent payable by Tenant hereunder shall be reduced in the ratio which the diminution, if any in the total floor area of the building or buildings constituting the Premises as restored or rebuilt following such condemnation, shall bear to the total floor area of the building or buildings erected on the Premises at the time of such condemnation, or (ii) if Tenant reasonably determines that the remaining leasable area is unsuitable for Tenant’s business purposes, Tenant may, upon at least thirty (30) days prior written notice, terminate this Lease; such notice to contain the basis for Tenant’s determination that the Premises are no longer suitable for Tenant’s purposes. If Tenant terminates the Lease as aforesaid, Tenant shall pay rent until such date of termination and thereafter neither party shall have further rights or obligations hereunder.

Section 9.04 Temporary Condemnation. Tenant further agrees that if, at any time-after the date hereof, the whole or any part of the Premises or of Tenant’s interest under this Lease shall be taken or condemned by any competent authority for its or their temporary use or occupancy, this Lease shall not terminate by reason thereof, however, Tenant shall withhold payment of the Base Rent and all additional rent and other charges payable by Tenant hereunder, proportionate to the portion of the Premises (based on usable square feet) that Tenant may be prevented from fully using pursuant to the terms of the order of the condemning authority. In the event of any such taking as in this Section 10.04. referred to, the entire amount of any award made for such taking, whether paid by way of damages, rent or otherwise, shall be paid to and held by Landlord.

Tenant shall protect, defend, indemnify and hold harmless Landlord Indemnified Parties (as defined in Section 17.01 below) from and against any damages incurred by Landlord Indemnified Parties arising out of any such violation, non-compliance, release or discharge. Tenant’s obligation to undertake and pursue to completion investigation and remediation of any release or discharge of Hazardous Substance, or non-compliance respecting the Premises, shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease. Landlord shall not be the generator and arranger with respect to any wastes, including investigations-derived wastes, generated in association with any remedial actions hereunder, including any wastes generated in connection with any Tenant-required ISRA proceeding.

Tenant covenants that it shall not, at any time during the Demised Term, place, store, install upon, discharge, release or generate on, in or under the Premises any Hazardous Substances except of such types and in such quantities as is reasonable and customary for Tenant’s operations and in material compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, including Environmental Laws.

Section 10.03 ISRA Compliance; Conduct of Remediations.

(a) From and after the Commencement Date, in addition to and without limiting the foregoing, Tenant shall, at Tenant’s own expense, to the extent required by law, fully, promptly and diligently comply with the Industrial Site Recovery Act, N.J.S.A. 13:1K-6 et seq. and the regulations promulgated thereunder and related Environmental Law in connection with the Premises (collectively “ISRA”), by or for reason of an ISRA triggering event such as a transfer of ownership or operations, or a cessation of operations, as defined and regulated by ISRA. In complying with ISRA as required hereunder, Tenant shall not proceed with a plan of remediation, or otherwise, in a manner that shall materially and adversely affect Landlord’s commercial and industrial use(s) of the Premises by Tenant or others (“Adverse Effect”), it being understood however that all remediation conducted by Tenant, whether pursuant to ISRA or otherwise, will be conducted to the Remediation Standard defined below. Tenant’s obligations under this section paragraph shall arise if Tenant’s operations at the Premises constitute an “industrial establishment” (as defined in ISRA) and are subject to ISRA due to any closing, terminating or transferring of its operations, the occurrence of the expiration of this Lease, the termination of this Lease, any permitted assignment of this Lease or permitted sublease of a portion of this Lease, the sale or transfer of any or all of the Premises or any ownership or interest in Landlord, or any other action or event which triggers ISRA.

(b) Tenant shall, at no cost to Landlord, comply with all requirements of ISRA when and as applicable and make all required or requested submissions to the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (“NJDEP”). Tenant shall proceed in a diligent manner until the ISRA process is complete. Should the Technical Requirements at N.J.A.C. 7:26E-1 et seq. require that any plan for assessment, investigation or remediation be prepared for any ISRA or Spill Act case, Tenant shall cause the LSRP to prepare and submit any and all required plans and reports, and cause the conduct of all work for remediation consistent with those plans through the issuance of a “Final Remediation Document” as defined in SRRA which is consistent with a non-residential remediation standard, unless a more stringent remediation standard is required by Environmental Law. Nothing herein is intended, nor shall it be construed, to prohibit Tenant with Landlord’s consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, to propose the use of engineering and/or institutional controls (as such terms are defined under N.J.S.A. 58:10C-2) if (i) the contamination is situated under a paved surface or building slab when the contamination is not a source of contamination to the groundwater, as determined by Tenant’s LSRP.

(c) In connection with Tenant’s obligations under this Section 10.03, Tenant shall enter into any remediation certification, post any ISRA or Spill Act-required remediation funding source or financial assurance and otherwise comply with ISRA so as to permit the event or action which requires compliance with ISRA to occur when and as planned.

(d) Tenant shall provide copies of all non-privileged correspondence, data, forms, reports, applications, permits, plans, proposals, or other documents in connection with this Section 10.03 promptly upon submission or receipt, whichever is applicable.

(e) At no expense to Tenant, Landlord shall promptly execute such documents prepared by Tenant as are required to be submitted or prepared in connection with a remediation conducted pursuant to an ISRA or Spill Act case, including but not limited to certifications and permit applications generally required to be executed by property owners, including, but not limited to, necessary deed notices and remedial action permit applications all subject to Landlord’s right to review and reasonably comment thereon provided that such comment shall have the effect of materially changing the LSRP’s recommendations or increasing Tenant’s costs. Tenant shall not be liable for failing to fully comply with the terms of this Section 10.03 to the extent such failure is caused by Landlord’s unreasonable delay in executing owner-required ISRA or Spill Act submissions.

(f) In no event shall Tenant be obligated to re-open or further remediate any area of the Premises subject to valid and existing Controls or any related remedial action permit and response action outcome, implemented by Tenant as Seller pursuant to and in compliance with the Sale Agreement, which then remain in conformity with then current Environmental Law and guidance applicable thereto.

(g) Tenant shall indemnify, defend and save harmless the Landlord Indemnified Parties from all liability, fines, suits, procedures, claims and actions of any and every kind arising out of or in any way connected with (i) any and all spills or discharges of Hazardous Substances at the Premises which occur during the Demised Term; (ii) Tenant’s failure to provide all information, make all submissions and take all actions required to comply with Environmental Laws; and (iii) Tenant’s failure to comply with this paragraph. Tenant’s obligations and liabilities under this paragraph shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease.

Landlord’s Remedies

In the event of any default by Tenant under this Lease, Landlord, at its option, and after any applicable notice and cure period as required pursuant to Section 11.01, but without additional notice or demand from Landlord, if any, as provided in Section 11.01 has expired, may, in addition to all other rights and remedies provided in this Lease, or otherwise at law or in equity: (a) terminate this Lease and Tenant’s right of possession of the Premises; or (b) terminate Tenant’s right of possession of the Premises without terminating this Lease. In the event Landlord elects to proceed under Subsections (a) or (b) above, Landlord shall mitigate its damages by using best efforts to relet the Premises, or any part thereof, for the account of Tenant, for such rent and term and upon such terms and conditions as are commercially reasonable. In addition, for purposes of any reletting, Landlord is authorized to decorate, repair, alter and improve the Premises to the extent deemed necessary by Landlord, in its in its sole absolute discretion.

If Landlord elects to pursue its rights and remedies under Subsection (b) above, and the Premises are relet and a sufficient sum is not realized therefrom, then to satisfy the payment, when due, of Base Rent and Additional Rent reserved under the Lease for any monthly period (after payment of all Landlord’s reasonable expenses of reletting), Tenant shall, in Landlord’s sole judgment, either (i) pay any such deficiency monthly or (ii) pay such deficiency on an accelerated basis, which accelerated deficiency shall be discounted at a rate equal to the Federal Reserve discount rate in effect on the date of Landlord’s demand.

If Landlord elects to pursue its rights and remedies under Subsection (b) above, and Landlord fails to relet the Premises, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord the sum of (x) the projected costs of Landlord’s expenses of reletting (including the anticipated costs of repairs, alterations, improvements, additions, legal fees and brokerage commissions) as reasonably estimated by Landlord and (y) the accelerated amount of Base Rent and Additional Rent due under the Lease for the balance of the Demised Term, discounted to present value at a rate equal to the Federal Reserve discount rate in effect on the date of Landlord’s demand. Tenant agrees that Landlord may file suit to recover any sums due to Landlord hereunder from time to time and that such suit or recovery of any amount due Landlord hereunder shall not be any defense to any subsequent action brought for any amount not theretofore reduced to judgment in favor of Landlord. If Landlord elects to pursue its rights and remedies under Subsection (b), then Landlord shall at any time have the further right and remedy to rescind such election and pursue its rights and remedies under Subsection (a). In the event Landlord elects, pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section 11.03, to terminate Tenant’s right of possession only, without terminating this Lease, Landlord may, at Landlord’s option, after the provision of fifteen (15) days written notice to Tenant, enter into the Premises, remove Tenant’s Property, Tenant’s signs and other evidences of tenancy, and take and hold possession thereof; provided, however, that such entry and possession shall not terminate this Lease or release Tenant, in whole or in part, from Tenant’s obligation to pay the Base Rent and Additional Rent reserved hereunder for the full Demised Term, or from any other obligation of Tenant under this Lease. Any and all property that may be removed from the Premises by Landlord pursuant to the authority of the Lease or of law, to which Tenant is or may be entitled, may be handled, removed or stored by Landlord at the sole risk, cost and expense of Tenant, and in no event or circumstance shall Landlord be responsible for the value, preservation or safekeeping thereof. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, upon demand, any and all expenses incurred in such removal and all storage charges against such property so long as the same shall be in Landlord’s possession or under Landlord’s control.

Section 13.01 No Obligation to Share Excess. In no event shall Tenant be entitled to receive any excess of the Basic Rent over the sums payable by Tenant to Landlord hereunder, but such excess shall be credited to the unpaid rentals due hereunder, and to the expenses for re-letting and preparing for re-letting, as provided herein.

Section 13.02 Successive Suits. Suit or suits for the recovery of damages hereunder, or for any installments of rent, may be brought by Landlord from time to time at its election, and nothing herein contained shall be deemed to require Landlord to postpone suit until the date when the term would have expired if it had not been terminated under the provisions of this Lease, or under any provision of law, or had Landlord not re-entered into or upon the Premises.

Section 13.03 Acceleration. Anything to the contrary hereinbefore notwithstanding, Landlord shall have the option to accelerate all future rentals due and hold Tenant responsible, in advance, for the aggregate “damages” (as described in herein) to be suffered by Landlord during the remainder of the then current term.

Section 13.04 Late Fee and Legal Fee. Landlord, at its option, in addition to any and all remedies available to it, shall have the right to charge legal fees actually incurred by Landlord in connection with any default on the part of Tenant, together with court costs incurred by Landlord in connection with litigation against the Tenant on account of Tenant’s default. In addition, Landlord shall be entitled to a late charge for any rent received later than the fifth (5th) day of the month in which said rent was due, which fee shall be five percent (5%) per month in the amount of such overdue rent. Tenant shall also pay an administrative fee of Fifty Dollars and 00/100 ($50.00) as additional rent for any check paid to Landlord which check is returned from Tenant’s bank for any reason whatsoever.

Section 16.01 Assignment, Sublease; Tenant Obligations.

(a) Tenant may assign the Lease to any entity under common ownership or control or affiliated with Tenant. Tenant may sublet all or any portion of the Premises without the prior consent of Landlord, provided that Tenant remains obligated pursuant to Section 14.01(c) below. In any event, Tenant shall be under no obligation to share with Landlord any portion of the rent received from any sublease.

(b) Landlord may present one or more potential subtenants to Tenant for consideration but Tenant shall be under no obligation to sublet to any such subtenant which is not willing to pay Base Rent of at least $5.50/sqft, and otherwise the selection of a subtenant and the terms of each sublease shall be at Tenant’s sole discretion. Tenant shall be solely responsible for all costs to separate and demise the premises to be occupied by any subtenant from the Premises.

(c) No assignment or sublease of the whole or any part of the Premises by Tenant shall affect or reduce any of the obligations of Tenant under this Lease, but this Lease shall continue in full force and effect. All subleases and assignments will be expressly subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease. Tenant will deliver to Landlord a copy of all agreements executed by Tenant and the proposed subtenant and assignee with respect to the Premises.

(d) Except as set forth in Section 14.01(a), Tenant shall not sell, assign, mortgage, pledge, or, in any manner, transfer or encumber this Lease or any estate or interest hereunder, without the previous written consent of the Landlord, said consent, both as to the assignment or sublease (except with respect to the Sublet Space) and as to the nature of the use of the leased premises by the assignee or subtenant, which consent shall be at Landlord’s sole discretion. In any of the events aforesaid, Tenant nevertheless shall remain primarily liable for the payment of the Basic Rent and all additional rents, and for the performance of Tenant’s other covenants and obligations hereunder. No consent to any assignment of this Lease or subletting of any or all of the leased premises shall be deemed or construed as a consent by Landlord to any further or additional assignment or subletting. In the event of an assignment of this Lease, the assignee shall assume, by written recordable instrument reasonably satisfactory to the Landlord, the due performance of all of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease. No assignment shall be valid or effective in the absence of such assumption. A true copy of such assignment and the original assumption agreement shall be delivered to Landlord within ten (10) days of the effective date of such assignment.

Section 16.02 Assignment Conditions. Except with respect to the Sublet Space and except as set forth in Section 14.01(a) and (b) above, any permitted proposed assignment of this lease or sublease of the Premises pursuant to Section 14.01(d) expressly permitted herein must comply with all the following conditions:

(a) Such assignee or subtenant shall use and occupy the Premises only for the Permitted Use.

(b) Such assignment or sublease shall not, in Landlord’s judgment, adversely affect the quality and type of business operation which Tenant has conducted theretofore at the Premises in compliance with the provisions of this lease.

(c) The principal(s) of such assignee shall possess qualifications for operating Tenant’s business that are substantially equivalent to Tenant’s qualifications, and have demonstrated recognized experience in successfully operating such a business.

(d) At the time such assignment or sublet is to become effective, Tenant is not in Default.

(e) Tenant reimburses Landlord on demand for any out-of-pocket costs incurred by Landlord in connection with said assignment or sublease, including the costs of investigating the proposed assignee or subtenant and Landlord’s reasonable legal costs.

(f) If Tenant assigns this lease, Tenant delivers to Landlord a fully executed assignment and assumption agreement, duly acknowledged, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord.

(g) If Tenant subleases the Premises, Tenant delivers to Landlord a fully executed sublease, in form reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, that, among other things, provides that: (i) the sublease is subject and subordinate to this lease and to the matters to which this lease is or shall be subject and subordinate; (ii) the subtenant shall not, without Landlord’s prior consent or approval, take any action, which, if to be taken by Tenant, would require Landlord’s consent or approval; (iii) the subtenant shall, upon notice from Landlord that Tenant is then in default of this lease, pay the rent under the sublease directly to Landlord, to be applied to the Rent under this lease (and Tenant hereby consents to that payment and agrees that any such payment shall be credited against the subtenant’s rent obligation under the sublease); (iv) the subtenant shall carry the insurance, and furnish to Landlord the evidence thereof, required by this lease to be carried and furnished by Tenant, and shall name Landlord and any other party designated by Landlord as additional insureds on its commercial general liability insurance, and (v) in the event of any termination, re-entry or dispossess by Landlord under this lease, the subtenant shall, at Landlord’s option, vacate the Premises or attorn to Landlord pursuant to the then executory provisions of the sublease, except that Landlord shall not be (A) liable for any previous act or omission of Tenant under the sublease, (B) subject to any offset not expressly provided in the sublease, (C) be required to pay any construction allowance or other monetary payment due or payable from or by Tenant as sublandlord, or (D) bound by any change or extension of the sublease or prepayment of more than one (1) month’s rent to which Landlord did not consent in writing or actually receive.

(h) In the event any future Mortgagee has the right to consent to any assignment or sublease, Landlord shall promptly request consent for an assignment and sublease promptly upon written request therefor by Tenant and provided that Tenant’s request otherwise satisfies the requirements of Section 14.02 above.

(i) Any Guarantor delivers to Landlord such agreements as Landlord may reasonably require confirming Guarantor’s continuing liability under its guaranty of this lease, but no failure to execute or deliver such documents shall impair such Guarantor’s continuing liability under such guaranty in accordance with the terms of such guaranty. In the case of a proposed assignment, Landlord may require that principals and/or affiliates of the assignee deliver guaranties in substantially the same form as have been delivered with this lease.

Section 16.03 Future Transactions. The consent by Landlord to any assignment, transfer, sublet, occupancy, encumbrance or other transaction described in this Section, shall not in any way be deemed to relieve Tenant from obtaining the express consent of Landlord prior to any further such transaction or any proposed assignment of sublease or sub-sublease, which consent may be granted or denied at Landlord’s sole discretion.

B-20

Section 16.04 Acceptance of Rent. The acceptance by Landlord of Rent following any assignment, sublease, encumbrance, license, occupancy, or other transaction in violation of this Article, shall not be deemed a consent by Landlord to such transaction, nor a waiver of any right or remedy of Landlord hereunder.

Section 16.05 Liability Continued. If this lease is assigned or the Premises are sublet, Tenant shall remain liable for the performance of all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this lease on the part of Tenant to be performed or observed and any Guarantor shall continue to remain liable under the terms of its guaranty of this lease. Tenant’s liability hereunder shall not be affected by any modification of this lease or agreement made between Landlord and any assignee or subtenant, or by reason of any delay or failure on Landlord’s part to enforce any of its rights under this lease; provided that if any such modification or agreement increases the obligation of the assignee under this lease, the liability of the assignor-Tenant under this lease shall continue to be no greater than if such modification or agreement had not been made unless such assignee is a person or entity that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by or is under common control with Tenant.

Extension of Term of Lease

Section 17.01 Tenant’s Option. Tenant shall have an option to extend the term of this Lease beyond the Initial Term for one five-year period; provided that this Lease is in effect and there is not then continuing an Event of Default under this Lease at the time the option is exercised and on the commencement of the Extended Term as defined below. Such option must be exercised by Tenant by giving written notice to Landlord no earlier than earlier than twenty four (24) months and not less than eighteen (18) months prior to the expiration of the Initial Term of this Lease. The extension period shall be referred to herein as an “Extended Term.” If Tenant fails to give such notice to Landlord as and when required hereunder, time being of the essence, then Tenant shall forfeit the option to extend set forth hereunder.

Section 17.02 Terms of Extension. The Extended Term shall be upon the same terms and conditions as are set forth herein for the Initial Term of this Lease, except that the Lease Year Base Rent payable in the first Lease Year of each Extended Term pursuant to this Lease shall be an annual amount computed by multiplying the Base Rent of the preceding Lease Year by 102.5% (the “Extended Term Base Rent”). The Extended Term Base Rent for each Lease Year of the Extended Term succeeding the first Lease Year during the Extended Term shall be an amount computed by multiplying the Extended Term Base Rent of the preceding Lease Year by 102.5%. The Base Rent payments due for the Extended Term are set forth on Exhibit “A-2.”

Relocation of Tenant

Section 18.01 Landlord’s Right to Relocate Tenant. Landlord shall have the right to relocate Tenant once during the Demised Term, subject to the terms and conditions set forth below. Upon determining that Landlord desires to relocate Tenant, Landlord shall request in writing from Tenant, Tenant’s specifications for replacement premises, provided said specifications shall be substantially similar to the specifications of the Premises in terms of the criteria defined as constituting the Tenant’s Specifications (defined herein). Tenant shall have thirty (30) days (the “Pre-Notice Period”) to respond to Landlord with such written specifications for the replacement premises, including the required size, general layout and type of space, ceiling heights, power and HVAC requirements, zoning, facilities and amenities (including number and relative location of parking spaces, loading doors/areas and outdoor storage, floor reinforcement, etc.) and other relevant criteria (“Tenant’s Specifications”) which shall include an estimate of Tenant’s Relocation Costs (as defined below).

Section 18.02 Relocation Notice. Within sixty (60) days after the expiration of the Pre-Notice Period, in the event Landlord still desires to relocate Tenant, Landlord shall send a written notice thereof to Tenant (the “Relocation Notice”). The Relocation Notice must:

(a) set forth a specific date no less than eighteen (18) months after the date of the Relocation Notice on which Tenant and any subtenants must fully vacate the Premises (“Relocation Date”);

B-21

(b) identify a relocation site proposed by Landlord (“Relocation Site”) which (i) is located within the area described and depicted on Exhibit “E” attached hereto; and (ii) substantially meets, or shall meet upon delivery of the Relocation Site, the terms of the Tenant’s Specifications;

(c) confirm that, as of the commencement of the Overlap Period (defined below), (i) all facilities and equipment servicing the Relocation Site shall be in good working order and repair, including a leak-free roof; and (ii) there shall be adequate power to the space to be occupied by Tenant for Tenant’s operations; and (iii) all HVAC equipment shall be certified by a professional selected by Tenant as (x) having a remaining useful life of at least the term remaining in the Demised Term; and (y) being sized properly for the Relocation Site premises to be occupied by Tenant, taking into account Tenant’s operations and number of employees said system to be comparable to that of Premises;

(d) confirm Tenant’s Lease payment terms at the Relocation Site, which payment terms shall reflect amounts which do not exceed the current Base Rent per square foot and Operating Expenses per square foot payable by Tenant as of the date of the Relocation Date;

(e) confirm that Landlord shall be responsible for all reasonable and customary actual costs incurred by Tenant related to relocating from the Premises (whether such relocation is to the Relocation Site in response to the Relocation Notice, or to an Alternative Location in response to a Termination Notice (both capitalized terms, defined below)), including without limitation, all costs to plan the move, pack Tenant’s non-fixture property and implement and consummate the vacating of the Premises, as well as any logistics, space configuration and operational consultants and other professionals retained by Tenant to plan and oversee the move and the layout of Tenant’s operations in the Relocation Site or the Alternative Location (as the case may be) and Tenant’s employee labor costs in connection with the relocation process as well as all losses and damages incurred by Tenant as a result of business interruption and lost profits and the costs of replacing any fixtures or equipment which cannot be relocated or as to which the cost of relocation would exceed the cost of replacement (all of the foregoing, “Tenant’s Relocation Costs”). In no event however shall Landlord be liable to pay an amount in excess of one hundred fifty (150%) percent of the estimated Tenant’s Relocation Costs set forth in the Tenant’s Specifications (the “Relocation Cost Cap”); and

(f) Provide evidence of the posting of the Relocation Cost Security, as defined in Section 16.03 below.

Section 18.03 Overlap Period. In furtherance of Section 16.02(e), if Tenant agrees to relocate to the Relocation Site, the same shall be ready for Tenant’s occupancy with the improvements and features identified in the Relocation Notice accepted by Tenant, subject to any written modification thereof by mutual agreement of Landlord and Tenant, as evidenced by the receipt of a certificate of occupancy, no less than six (6) months before the Relocation Date (the “Overlap Period”). The portion of the Relocation Site to be occupied by Tenant shall be ADA-compliant. During the Overlap Period, Tenant shall commence relocating its operations to the Relocation Site, commence its operations at the Relocation Site and fully vacate the Premises. Landlord acknowledges that Tenant will be operating in both locations during the Overlap Period, which will reduce or eliminate the time that Tenant is prohibited from operating due to the Relocation and will therefore benefit Landlord by reducing costs relating to business interruption. During the Overlap Period (i) Tenant shall pay rent and other lease-related expenses at the Relocation Site pursuant to the terms confirmed in the Relocation Notice; and (ii) Tenant’s obligation to pay Base Rent and Additional Rent with respect to the Premises shall be abated.

Section 18.04 Payment of Relocation Costs; Security.

(a) Commencing on the date the Relocation Notice is received by Tenant and no more frequently than every thirty (30) days , Tenant may submit to Landlord written invoices for Relocation Costs incurred by Tenant (the “Invoices”) and an affidavit in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “D” (together, a “Reimbursement Claim”) signed by an authorized representative of Tenant certifying that the Invoices are consistent with the terms of this Article 16. Landlord may object to a Reimbursement Claim (in whole or in part) by delivering to Tenant a written objection notice (a “Cost Objection Notice”) within ten (10) days of receipt of a Reimbursement Claim. Landlord may only object to a Reimbursement Claim on the grounds that a cost incurred by Tenant for which it requests reimbursement is not related to, arising from or connected with the relocation of Tenant’s operations, whether to a Relocation Site or to an Alternative Location pursuant to a Lease Termination under Section 16.06 below. In the event Landlord delivers a Cost Objection Notice as set forth above, (a) Landlord and Tenant shall meet and confer in good faith in order to resolve the Cost Objection Notice. If Landlord does not deliver a Cost Objection Notice to Tenant, Tenant shall deduct the amount of the Reimbursement Claim from the Base Rent, if any, payable to Landlord.

B-22

(b) In order to secure Landlord’s commitment to pay all Tenant’s Relocation Costs and to provide for a source of funding for those costs which exceed the amount of Tenant’s Base Rent payments then due, prior to the commencement of the Overlap Period Landlord shall provide a Letter of Credit issued by a bank reasonably satisfactory to Tenant, in a maximum stated amount equal to the Relocation Cost Cap, to the benefit of Tenant, and which includes a provision allowing Tenant to request multiple draws there against to offset Tenant’s Relocation Costs as they are incurred, upon presentation of a Reimbursement Claim (the “Relocation Cost Security”). Provision of the Relocation Cost Security as and when required in this Section 16.04 shall be a pre-condition of Tenant’s obligation to relocate.

Section 18.05 New Demised Premises. Upon fully vacating the Premises, the space occupied by Tenant in the Relocation Site shall be deemed to be the Premises in this Lease and all other terms and conditions shall remain the same, except as explicitly modified herein and in the Relocation Notice accepted by Tenant.

Section 18.06 Tenant’s Right of Refusal; Lease Termination. Tenant may decline the Relocation Notice for any reason, upon providing written notice to Landlord, which notice must be received by Landlord within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Relocation Notice or if Tenant fails to provide a Tenant’s Specifications within the time frame required above it shall be deemed that Tenant has declined the Relocation Notice. In such event, Landlord may in lieu of a Relocation Notice thereafter send a termination notice (the “Termination Notice”) which shall provide that the Lease shall terminate on a date which is no earlier than eighteen (18) months after the date of the Termination Notice (the “Pre-Termination Period”) on which date this Lease shall terminate and Tenant shall vacate the Premises. All other terms set forth in this Article 16 shall nonetheless apply, as it is the parties’ intention that Tenant (i) be allowed sufficient time to vacate the Premises; and (ii) be reimbursed for Tenant’s Relocation Costs regardless of whether Tenant is moving to the Relocation Site proffered by Landlord, or to a new location identified by Tenant (the “Alternative Location”), as either such move is an accommodation to Landlord. Likewise, during the Pre-Termination Period, Tenant shall be entitled to an overlap period similar to that described in Section 16.03 above to allow Tenant adequate time to transfer its operations to the Alternative Location with minimal downtime. Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing of the commencement date of the six (6) month overlap period, during which period Tenant shall not be required to pay Base Rent or Additional Rent or other lease-related expenses for the Premises.

In the event that any action or proceeding is brought against Tenant, and the foregoing indemnity is applicable to such action or proceeding, then Landlord, upon notice from Tenant, shall resist and defend such action or proceeding by counsel reasonably satisfactory to Tenant. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Lease, however, in all events and under all circumstances, the liability of Landlord to Tenant shall be limited to the interest of Landlord in the Premises, and Tenant agrees to look solely to Landlord’s interest in the Premises for the recovery of any judgment or award against Landlord, it being intended that Landlord shall not be personally liable for any judgment or deficiency. The provisions of this shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease.

Section 19.03 Force Majeure.

SUBORDINATION, NON-DISTURBANCE AND ATTORNMENT AGREEMENT

THIS SUBORDINATION, NON-DISTURBANCE AND ATTORNMENT AGREEMENT (hereinafter referred to as “Agreement”) made this ___ day of _______________, _______, among CITI REAL ESTATE FUNDING INC. (together with its successors, assigns, designees and/or nominees, collectively hereinafter referred to as “Lender”), ______________________________ (hereinafter referred to as “Tenant”), and ___________________________, a _______________ (hereinafter referred to as “Landlord”).

R E C I T A L S:

A. Tenant is the tenant and lessee under a certain ____________________, as amended by_____________________ (as the same may now or hereafter be amended, restated, replaced or otherwise modified, collectively, the “Lease”) relating to the premises described in the Lease (hereinafter referred to as the “Premises”), located at the real property more particularly described on Exhibit A attached hereto (hereinafter referred to as the “Property”).

B. Lender has made or will make a loan to Landlord (hereinafter referred to as the “Loan”), which such Loan is (i) secured by a deed of trust, mortgage or security deed (as the same may be amended, restated, extended, or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Mortgage”) and an assignment of leases and rents (as the same may be amended, restated, extended, or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Assignment of Leases”), in each case, from Landlord to Lender covering the Property including the Premises and (ii) evidenced by certain other documents and instruments by and among Lender and Landlord, among others (the same, together with the Mortgage and Assignment of Leases, collectively, the “Loan Documents”).

C. Tenant has agreed that the Lease shall be subject and subordinate to the Loan and Loan Documents, provided Tenant is assured of continued occupancy of the Premises under the terms of the Lease.

NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained, the sum of Ten Dollars ($10.00) and other good and valuable considerations, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and notwithstanding anything in the Lease to the contrary, it is hereby agreed as follows:

1. Subordination and Consent. Lender, Tenant and Landlord do hereby covenant and agree that the Lease with all rights, options, liens and charges created thereby (including, without limitation, any option or rights contained in the Lease, or otherwise existing, to acquire any or all of the Premises, or any superior leasehold interest therein), is and shall continue to be subject and subordinate in all respects to the lien and terms of the Loan Documents, and to any renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof and to all advancements made thereunder. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord will execute and deliver to Lender an assignment of the Lease as security for the Loan, and Tenant hereby expressly consents to such assignment. Tenant agrees that if there is a default by Landlord in the performance and observance of any of the terms of such Loan, Lender may, at its option, demand all rents due under the Lease be paid by Tenant directly to Lender at the address specified below, or as otherwise specified by Lender. Tenant agrees that upon Lender’s written request for payment of rent directly to Lender, Tenant will timely remit any and all payments due under the Lease directly to, and payable to the order of, Lender. Such payments to Lender will constitute performance of Tenant’s payment obligations under the Lease.

2. Non-Disturbance. Lender does hereby agree with Tenant that, in the event Lender succeeds to Landlord’s interest in the Premises by foreclosure, conveyance in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, so long as Tenant complies with and performs its obligations under the Lease, (a) the Lease shall continue in full force and effect as a direct Lease between Lender and Tenant, upon and subject to all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease, for the balance of the term of the Lease, and Lender will not disturb the possession of Tenant, and (b) the Premises shall be subject to the Lease and Lender shall recognize Tenant as the tenant of the Premises for the remainder of the term of the Lease in accordance with the provisions thereof; provided, however, that Lender shall not be:

(i) subject to any claims, offsets or defenses which Tenant might have against any prior landlord (including Landlord);

(ii) liable for any act or omission of any prior landlord (including Landlord);

(iii) bound by any rent or additional rent which Tenant might have paid for more than the current month or any security deposit or other prepaid charge paid to any prior landlord (including Landlord);

(iv) bound by any amendment or modification of the Lease made without its written consent; or

(v) liable for any deposit that Tenant may have given to any previous landlord (including Landlord) which has not, as such, been transferred to Lender.

Nothing contained herein shall prevent Lender from naming Tenant in any foreclosure or other action or proceeding initiated by Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents to the extent necessary under applicable law in order for Lender to avail itself of and complete the foreclosure or other remedy. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that it has no right or option of any nature whatsoever, whether pursuant to the Lease or otherwise, to purchase the Premises or the Property, or any portion thereof or any interest therein, and to the extent that Tenant has had, or hereafter acquires, any such right or option, the same is hereby acknowledged to be subject and subordinate to the lien and terms of the Loan Documents and is hereby waived and released as against Lender.

3. Attornment. Tenant does hereby agree with Lender that, in the event Lender becomes the owner of the Property by foreclosure, conveyance in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, then Tenant shall attorn to and recognize Lender as the landlord under the Lease for the remainder of the term thereof, and Tenant shall perform and observe its obligations thereunder, subject only to the terms and conditions of the Lease. Tenant further covenants and agrees to execute and deliver upon request of Lender an appropriate agreement of attornment to Lender and any subsequent titleholder of the Premises.

4. Lease Defaults. In the event Landlord shall fail to perform or observe any of the terms, conditions or agreements in the Lease, Tenant shall give written notice thereof to Lender and Lender shall have the right (but not the obligation) to cure such default. Tenant shall not take any action with respect to such default under the Lease, including without limitation any action in order to terminate, rescind or avoid the Lease or to withhold any rent or other monetary obligations thereunder, for a period of thirty (30) days following receipt of such written notice by Lender; provided, however, that in the case of any default which cannot with diligence be cured within said thirty (30) day period, if Lender shall proceed promptly to cure such default and thereafter prosecute the curing of such default with diligence and continuity, the time within which such default may be cured shall be extended for such period as may be necessary to complete the curing of such default with diligence and continuity.

5. Obligations and Liability of Lender. Lender shall have no obligations nor incur any liability with respect to any warranties of any nature whatsoever, whether pursuant to the Lease or otherwise, including, without limitation, any warranties respecting use, compliance with zoning, hazardous wastes or environmental laws, Landlord’s title, Landlord’s authority, habitability, fitness for purpose or possession. Furthermore, in the event that Lender shall acquire Landlord’s interest in the Property, Lender shall have no obligation, nor incur any liability, beyond Lender’s then equity interest, if any, in the Property, and Tenant shall look exclusively to such equity interest of Lender, if any, in the Property for the payment and discharge of any obligations or liability imposed upon Lender hereunder, under the Lease (or under any new lease with Tenant), and Lender is hereby released and relieved of any other obligations or liability hereunder, under the Lease or under any such new lease. Lender shall not, either by virtue of the Loan Documents or this Agreement, be or become a mortgagee in possession or be or become subject to any liability or obligation under the Lease or otherwise until Lender shall have acquired the Landlord’s interest in the Property and then such liability or obligation of Lender under the Lease (as modified by the terms of this Agreement) shall extend only to those liability or obligations accruing subsequent to the date that Lender has acquired Landlord’s interest in the Property. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither the Loan Documents nor this Agreement shall, prior to Lender’s acquisition of Landlord’s interest in the Property, operate to place responsibility for the control, care, management or repair of the Property upon Lender or impose upon Lender responsibility for the carrying out of any of the terms or conditions of the Lease, and Lender shall not be responsible or liable for any waste committed on either the Premises or the Property by any party whatsoever, for any dangerous or defective condition of the Property or for any negligence in the management, upkeep, repair or control of either the Premises or the Property.

6. Severability. If any portion or portions of this Agreement shall be held invalid or inoperative, then all of the remaining portions shall remain in full force and effect, and, so far as is reasonable and possible, effect shall be given to the intent manifested by the portion or portions held to be invalid or inoperative.

7. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of ___________.

8. Notices. So long as the Mortgage remains outstanding and unsatisfied, Tenant will mail or deliver to Lender, at the address and in the manner hereinbelow provided, a copy of all notices permitted or required to be given to the Landlord by Tenant under and pursuant to the terms and provisions of the Lease. All notices or other communications required or permitted to be given pursuant to the provisions hereof shall be in writing and shall be considered as properly given if (i) mailed to the addressee by first class United States mail, postage prepaid, registered or certified with return receipt requested, (ii) by delivering same in person to the addressee, or (iii) by delivery to a third party commercial delivery service for same day or next day delivery to the office of the addressee with proof of delivery.
