Section 7.05.

Notwithstanding the above, in the event Landlord at any time determines that the amount of Common Area Maintenance Expenses actually being paid by Landlord exceeds the estimate upon which Tenant’s proportionate share of Common Area Maintenance Expenses was computed, Tenant, following a request from Landlord, shall commence to pay with the next monthly installment of rent due an amount sufficient to result in Tenant’s paying its full proportionate share of Common Area Maintenance Expenses as computed on the basis of Landlord’s revised estimate of Common Area Maintenance Expenses. Within approximately one hundred twenty (120)

days of the end of each calendar year, Landlord shall provide a statement to Tenant setting forth actual Common Area Maintenance Expenses and there shall be an adjustment upwards or downwards if the amount paid by Tenant differs from Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the amount actually incurred in that year. Any amount due Tenant or any amount due Landlord shall be credited against or paid, respectively, in the next monthly installment of Common Area Maintenance Expenses. Provided that the Term commenced on any day other than the first day of the calendar year, Landlord shall determine Tenant’s Common Area Maintenance Expenses during the first Lease Year by calculating the entire Common Area Maintenance Expenses for the calendar year and prorating such amount by the number of days during Tenant’s Term.

Section 7.11. Tenant shall have the right, during regular business hours and after giving thirty (30) days’ advance written notice to Landlord, to inspect and audit Landlord’s books and records relating to the Common Area Maintenance Expenses billed during any calendar year falling within the Term, for a period of one (1) year following the receipt by Tenant of any statement submitted pursuant to this Lease.

Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the cost of Landlord’s insurance shall be paid to Landlord in twelve (12) monthly installments as Additional Rent together with the Monthly Basic Rent.

Within approximately one hundred twenty (120) days of the end of each calendar year, Landlord shall provide a statement to Tenant setting forth Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the cost of Landlord’s insurance and there shall be an adjustment upwards or downwards if the amount paid by Tenant differs from the amount actually incurred in that year.

Section 8.02. During the Term of the Lease, Tenant, at its cost, shall provide and keep in force:

(A) A commercial general liability policy in standard form (containing the so-called “occurrence clause”) against claims for personal injury and property damage occurring on, in or about the Demised Premises in the combined single limit amount of Three Million and 00/100 ($3,000,000.00) Dollars, and shall include an endorsement naming, Landlord and such other person(s) or entity(ies) as Landlord may require with respect to liability for ownership, operation, maintenance, use and control as additional insured.

(D) Tenant shall also furnish, or reimburse Landlord for insurance for such other hazards and in such amounts as Landlord may reasonably require and as at the time are commonly insured against with respect to buildings similar in character, general location and use and occupancy to the Demised Premises in relative amounts normally carried with respect thereto.

The policies of insurance required pursuant to this Section 8.02 shall be from a company rated in the A.M.

Tenant shall name Landlord (and at Landlord’s election, Landlord’s managing agent and/or mortgagee[s]) as an additional named insured as its interest may appear. If at any time the amount of personal property, fixtures, goods and inventory or other items located at the Demised Premises shall exceed the amount of insurance Tenant is required to carry under this Lease. Tenant covenants to increase the amount of insurance required to be carried pursuant to Section 8.02(B) to an amount sufficient to cover the aforesaid to preclude any liability on Landlord’s part to Tenant. Should Tenant fail to do so, or fail to maintain insurance coverage adequate to cover the aforesaid, naming Landlord (and at Landlord’s election and notice to Tenant, Landlord’s managing agent and/or mortgagee[s]) as an additional named insured, then Tenant shall be in default hereunder and shall be deemed to have breached its covenants as set forth herein.

company waives all rights of recovery by way of subrogation against Landlord or Tenant in connection with any loss or damage covered by such policies. Neither party shall be liable to the other for any loss or damage caused by fire, water or any of the risks enumerated in the aforesaid All Risk coverage insurance, provided such insurance was required to be obtained at the time of such loss or damage. If such insurance policies are obtainable only by the payment of an additional premium charge, the same shall be obtained and such additional premium paid for by the party requesting such policy. If the release of either Landlord or Tenant, provided for in this Section 8.04 shall contravene any law with respect to exculpatory agreements, the liability of the party in question shall be deemed not released but shall be deemed secondary to the latter’s insurer.

Section 8.06. Tenant shall indemnify, defend and save Landlord harmless against and from all liabilities, claims, suits, fines, penalties, damages, losses, fees, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) which may be imposed upon, incurred by or asserted against Landlord by reason of:

ARTICLE XI

Condemnation

Section 11.01. If, during the Term, twenty-five (25%) percent or more of the area of the Demised Premises or Common Area parking facilities shall be taken under any power of eminent domain or condemnation or should access to the Demised Premises be materially obstructed, then, at the option of either Landlord or Tenant, to be exercised in writing within thirty (30) days of the taking of title thereto, this Lease shall expire within thirty (30) days of the date of such notice and the Basic Rent and Additional Rent herein reserved shall be apportioned as of said date. However, if Landlord or Tenant does not exercise the aforementioned option, or if the taking does not deprive Tenant of at least twenty-five (25%) percent of the area of the Demised Premises or parking facilities or materially obstruct access, this Lease shall not expire but the Basic Rent and Additional Rent shall be equitably apportioned. If Landlord and Tenant fail to agree upon an equitable apportionment, the Basic Rent and Additional Rent for the Building, after such taking, shall be determined in accordance with the Commercial Rules of the American Arbitration Association of Somerset, New Jersey, and the arbitrator shall be empowered to assess the costs and expenses of the proceedings as part of the determination. Pending such determination, Tenant shall pay, on account of the Basic Rent, such proportion of the rent reserved in this Lease as the total area of the Building after the taking bears to the total area of the Building before the taking, subject to adjustment in accordance with the arbitrator’s award. If Landlord can, after such taking, construct an addition to the remaining Building so as to restore all of the Building area and Building facilities theretofore taken, Landlord shall, subject to the adequacy of the condemnation award and to the mortgagee making the same available to Landlord, promptly construct such addition and restore such facilities so taken and upon the completion of such restoration, the full Basic Rent reserved by this Lease shall be reinstated, as of the date of such restoration, and, if Tenant is able to occupy and use the Building, the proportionate Basic Rent shall be paid by Tenant as herein provided, during the period between the taking and the restoration of the Building and facilities. No part of any award shall belong to Tenant except that nothing

contained herein is intended to affect or limit Tenant’s claim for fixtures or other improvements owned by Tenant, loss of goodwill or moving expenses provided the same does not diminish Landlord’s award. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if only vacant land and immaterial areas of improvement are taken, there shall be no adjustment of Basic Rent and/or Additional Rent.

ARTICLE XII

Subordination/Estoppel

Section 13.01. This Lease contained herein is and shall be subject and automatically subordinate to all present and future mortgages or deeds of trust affecting the Demised Premises. However, within ten (10) days after Landlord’s written request, Tenant shall execute any instrument which may be deemed necessary or desirable by Landlord to further confirm the subordination of this Lease to any such first mortgage or first deed of trust provided such holder delivers a non-disturbance agreement recognizing Tenant’s rights under this Lease. Landlord may assign this Lease to any such first mortgagee or first trust deed holder in connection with any such lien superior to this Lease, and Tenant shall execute any instrument which may be necessary or desirable by Landlord or the holder of said lien in connection with said assignment. At the option of any person which shall succeed to the interest of all or part of Landlord’s interest in the Building by foreclosure of or related to any mortgage encumbering the Building and the Land (“Successor”), Tenant shall be obligated to pay to such Successor the rentals and other charges due hereunder and to thereafter comply with all the terms of this Lease, and shall attorn to such Successor as its landlord under the Lease provided such holder deliver a non-disturbance agreement recognizing Tenant’s rights under this Lease.

(B) If Tenant shall default in the performance of or compliance with any of the other covenants, agreements, terms or conditions of this Lease to be performed by Tenant (other than any default curable by payment of money), and such default shall continue for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant, or, in the case of a default which cannot with due diligence be cured within thirty (30) days, Tenant shall fail to proceed promptly (except for unavoidable delays) after the giving of such notice and with all due diligence to cure such default and thereafter to prosecute the curing hereof with all due diligence (it being intended that as to a default not susceptible of being cured with due diligence within thirty (30) days, the time within which such default may be cured shall be extended for such period as may be reasonably necessary to permit the same to be cured with all due diligence); or

(C) If Tenant or any guarantor of this Lease shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or file a voluntary petition in bankruptcy or shall be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, or shall file any petition or answer seeking any reorganization, composition, readjustment or similar relief under any present or future bankruptcy or other applicable law, or shall seek or consent to or acquiesce in the appointment of any trustee, receiver, or liquidator of Tenant or any guarantor of this Lease or of all or any substantial part of its properties or of all or any part of the Demised Premises; or

Then and in any such event, and during the continuance thereof, Landlord may at its option, then or thereafter while any such Event of Default shall continue and notwithstanding the fact that Landlord may have any other remedy hereunder or at law or in equity, by notice to Tenant designate a date, not less than ten (10) days after the giving of such notice, on which this Lease shall terminate; and thereupon on such date the Term of this Lease and the estate hereby granted shall expire and terminate with the same force and effect as if the date specified in such notice was the date hereinbefore fixed for the expiration of the Term of this Lease, and all rights of Tenant hereunder shall expire and terminate, but Tenant shall remain liable as hereinafter provided. Additionally, Tenant agrees to pay, as Additional Rent, all reasonable attorney’s fees and other expenses incurred by Landlord in enforcing any of the obligations under this Lease, this covenant to survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease.

Section 14.02. If this Lease is terminated as provided in Section 14.01, or as permitted by law, Tenant shall peaceably quit and surrender the Demised Premises to Landlord, and Landlord may, without further notice, enter upon, re-enter, possess and repossess the same by summary proceedings, ejectment or other legal proceedings, and again have, repossess and enjoy the same as if this Lease had not been made, and in any such event neither Tenant nor any person claiming through or under Tenant by virtue of any law or an order of any court shall be entitled to possession or to remain in possession of the Demised Premises, and Landlord, at its option, shall forthwith, notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease, be entitled to recover from Tenant (in lieu of all other claims for damages on account of such termination), as and for liquidated damages, an amount equal to the excess of all Basic Rent and Additional Rent reserved hereunder for the unexpired portion of the Term of this Lease over the fair market rental for such period, discounted at the rate of four (4%) percent per annum

to the then present worth. Nothing herein contained shall limit or prejudice the right of Landlord, in any bankruptcy or reorganization or insolvency proceeding, to prove for and obtain as liquidated damages by reason of such termination an amount equal to the maximum allowed by any bankruptcy or reorganization or insolvency proceedings, or to prove for and obtain as liquidated damages by reason of such termination, an amount equal to the maximum allowed by any statute or rule of law whether such amount shall be greater or less than the excess referred to above.

Section 14.03. If Landlord re-enters and obtains possession of the Demised Premises, as provided in Section 14.02 of this Lease, following an Event of Default, Landlord shall have the right, without notice, to repair or alter the Demised Premises in such manner as Landlord may deem necessary or advisable so as to put the Demised Premises in good order and to make the same rentable, and shall have the right, at Landlord’s option, to relet the Demised Premises or a part thereof, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord on demand all reasonable expenses incurred by Landlord in obtaining possession, and in altering, repairing and putting the Demised Premises in good order and condition and in reletting the same, including reasonable fees of attorneys and architects, and all other reasonable expenses or commissions, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord upon the rent payment dates following the date of such re-entry and including the date for the expiration of the Term of this Lease in effect immediately prior to such re-entry, the sums of money which would have been payable by Tenant as Monthly Basic Rent hereunder on such rent payment dates if Landlord had not re-entered and resumed possession of the Demised Premises, deducting only the net amount of rent (Basic and Additional), if any, which Landlord shall actually receive (after deducting from the gross receipts the expenses, costs and payments of Landlord which in accordance with the terms of this Lease would have been borne by Tenant) in the meantime from and by any reletting of the Demised Premises, and Tenant shall remain liable for all sums otherwise payable by Tenant under this Lease, including but not limited to the expense of Landlord aforesaid, as well as for any deficiency aforesaid, and Landlord shall have the right from time to time to begin and maintain successive actions or other legal proceedings against Tenant for the recovery of such deficiency, expenses or damages or for a sum equal to any Monthly Basic Rent payment and Additional Rent. The obligation and liability of Tenant to pay the Term Basic Rent and the Additional Rent shall survive the commencement, prosecution and termination of any action to secure possession of the Demised Premises. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to require Landlord to wait to begin such action or other legal proceedings until the date when this Lease would have expired had there not been an Event of Default.

Section 14.04. Tenant hereby waives all right of redemption to which Tenant or any person under it may be entitled by any law now or hereafter in force. Landlord’s remedies hereunder are in addition to any remedy allowed by law.

Section 14.05. In the event of any breach by Tenant of any of the agreements, terms, covenants or conditions contained in this Lease, Landlord shall be entitled to enjoin such breach and shall have the right to invoke any right or remedy allowed at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise as though re-entry, summary dispossess proceedings, and other remedies were not provided for in this Lease. During the

pendency of any proceedings brought by Landlord to recover possession by reason of default, Tenant shall continue all money payments required to be made to Landlord, and Landlord may accept such payments for use and occupancy of the Demised Premises. In such event, Tenant waives its right in such proceedings to claim as a defense that the receipt of such money payments by Landlord constitutes a waiver by Landlord of such default.

Section 14.06. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate or attempt to offset or reduce any damages which are or may be suffered by Landlord as a result of Tenant’s default.

Section 14.07. Notwithstanding anything in this Article XIV to the contrary, if Tenant fails, on two (2) separate occasions in any twelve (12) month period during the Term hereof, to make payment of the Basic Rent and/or any Additional Rent and/or late charge after five (5) days written notice from Landlord of such failure, then, whether or not Tenant ultimately makes and Landlord accepts the required payment after the due date, such failure shall entitle Landlord, upon or at any time after such second (2^nd) separate occasion, to pursue the remedies provided in this Article, said circumstances at Landlord’s election being hereby declared a default no longer susceptible of being cured or removed by Tenant.

ARTICLE XV

Assignment and Sublease

Section 15.01. Tenant may not mortgage, pledge, hypothecate, assign, transfer, sublet or otherwise deal with this Lease or the Demised Premises in any manner except as specifically provided for in this Article XV:

(A) In the event that Tenant desires to sublease the whole or any portion of the Demised Premises or assign the within Lease to any other party, the terms and conditions of such sublease or assignment shall be communicated to Landlord in writing not less than thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of any such sublease or assignment, and, prior to such effective date, Landlord shall have the option, exercisable in writing to Tenant, to recapture the portion of the Premises subject to such assignment or subletting so that such prospective sublessee or assignee shall then become the sole lessee of Landlord hereunder, and the Tenant shall be fully released from any and all obligations hereunder, except to the extent that any obligations survive termination or sooner expiration of this Lease.

(B) In the event that Landlord elects not to recapture the Lease as hereinabove provided, Tenant may nevertheless assign this Lease or sublet the whole or any portion of the Demised Premises, subject to Landlord’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. In assisting Landlord in rendering a decision whether the Landlord will consent to the proposed assignment or sublet, the Tenant shall comply with the following terms and conditions:

(1)

Tenant shall provide to Landlord the name and address and most recent certified financial statements of the proposed assignee or sublessee.

(2)

The assignee shall assume, by written instrument, all of the obligations of this Lease applicable to the portion of the Premises to be assigned or sublet, and a copy of such assumption agreement shall be furnished to Landlord within ten (10) days of its execution. Any sublease shall expressly acknowledge that said sublessee’s rights against Landlord shall be no greater than those of Tenant.

(3)

Tenant and each assignee shall be and remain liable for the observance of all the covenants and provisions of this Lease, including, but not limited to, the payment of Term Basic Rent and Additional Rent reserved herein as and when required to be paid, through the entire Term of this Lease, as the same may be renewed, extended or otherwise modified.

(4)

Tenant and any assignee shall promptly pay to Landlord 50% of any consideration received for any assignment or of the rent (Basic and Additional) and any other consideration payable by the subtenant to Tenant under or in connection with the sublease, as and when received, in excess of the Term Basic Rent and Additional Rent required to be paid by Tenant for the area assigned or sublet, computed on the basis of an average square foot rent for the gross square footage Tenant has leased.

(5)

In any event, the acceptance by Landlord of any rent (Basic and Additional) from the assignee or from any of the subtenants or the failure of Landlord to insist upon a strict performance of any of the terms, conditions and covenants herein shall not release Tenant herein, nor any assignee assuming this Lease, from any and all of the obligations herein during and for the entire Term of this Lease.

(6)

Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for Landlord’s reasonable expenses incurred in connection with a request to assign or sublet this Lease, but such sum shall not exceed One Thousand Five Hundred and 00/100 ($1,500.00) Dollars. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, Landlord agrees that Tenant shall not be required to pay such fee for the first request by Tenant to assign or sublease this Lease.

(C) Any sublet or assignment to an affiliated company or to any entity which purchases or acquires all or substantially all of the assets, stock or membership interest of Tenant or to any corporation or equity resulting from a merger or consolidation, or the formation of joint venture or partnership, which affects all or a substantial portion of Tenant’s operations shall not be subject to the provisions of Subsections 15.01(A), 15.01(B)(4) or 15.01(B)(6) hereof and shall not require Landlord’s prior written consent, but all other provisions of this Article shall apply.

(D) In the event that any or all of Tenant’s interest in the Demised Premises and/or this Lease is transferred by operation of law to any trustee, receiver, or other representative or agent of Tenant, or to Tenant as a debtor in possession, and subsequently any or all of Tenant’s interest in the Demised Premises and/or this Lease is offered or to be offered by Tenant or any trustee, receiver, or other representative or agent of Tenant as to its estate or property (such person, firm or entity being hereinafter referred to as the “Grantor”), for assignment, conveyance, lease, or other disposition to a person, firm or entity other than Landlord (each such transaction being hereinafter referred to as a “Disposition”), it is agreed that Landlord has and shall have a right of first refusal to purchase, take, or otherwise acquire, the same upon the same terms and conditions as the Grantor thereof shall accept upon such Disposition to such other person, firm, or entity; and as to each such Disposition the Grantor shall give written notice to Landlord in reasonable detail of all of the terms and conditions of such Disposition within twenty (20) days next following its determination to accept the same but prior to accepting the same, and Grantor shall not make the Disposition until and unless Landlord has failed or refused to accept such right of first refusal as to the Disposition, as set forth herein.

(E) Landlord shall have sixty (60) days next following its receipt of the written notice as to such Disposition in which to exercise the option to acquire Tenant’s interest by such Disposition, and the exercise of the option by Landlord shall be effected by notice to that effect sent to the Grantor; but nothing herein shall require Landlord to accept a particular Disposition or any Disposition, nor does the rejection of any one such offer of first refusal constitute a waiver or release of the obligation of the Grantor to submit other offers hereunder to Landlord. In the event Landlord accepts such offer of first refusal, the transaction shall be consummated pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Disposition described in the notice to Landlord. In the event Landlord rejects such offer of first refusal, Grantor may consummate the Disposition with such other person, firm, or entity; but any decrease in price of more than two (2%) percent of the price sought from Landlord or any change in the terms of payment for such Disposition shall constitute a new transaction requiring a further option of first refusal to be given to Landlord hereunder.

(F) Without limiting any of the provisions of Article XIV, if pursuant to the Federal Bankruptcy Code (herein the “Code”), or any similar law hereafter enacted having the same general purpose, Landlord declines the right provided it in Subsection 15.01(D) hereof and Tenant is permitted to assign this Lease notwithstanding the restrictions contained in this Lease, adequate assurance of future performance by an assignee expressly permitted under such Code shall be deemed to mean the deposit of cash security in an amount equal to the sum of one (1) year’s Annual Basic Rent and Additional Rent for the next succeeding twelve (12) months (which Additional Rent shall be reasonably estimated by

Landlord), which deposit shall be held by Landlord for the balance of the Term of this Lease, without interest, as security for the full performance of all of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, to be held and applied in the manner specified for security in Article XXII.

(G) Except as specifically set forth above, no portion of the Demised Premises or of Tenant’s interest in this Lease may be acquired by any other person or entity, whether by assignment, mortgage, sublease, transfer, operation of law or act of Tenant, nor shall Tenant pledge its interest in this Lease or in any security deposit required hereunder.

NOW, THEREFORE, to induce the Landlord to enter into said Lease, the Guarantor hereby agrees as follows:

1. (a) During the Term of the Lease, and thereafter including any renewals periods, the Guarantor unconditionally guarantees to the Landlord and the successors and assigns of the Landlord, the full and punctual performance and observance by the Tenant of all of the terms, covenants and conditions in said Lease contained on Tenant’s part to be kept, performed or observed.

(c) The liability of the Guarantor hereunder shall be enforceable against the Guarantor without the necessity for any suit or proceedings on the Landlord’s part of any kind or nature whatsoever against the Tenant.

2.

Landlord may without notice, assign this Guarantee of Lease in whole or in part and no assignment or transfer of the Lease shall operate to extinguish or diminish the liability of the undersigned hereunder.

11. This Guaranty, and the rights and obligations of the Guarantor hereto, shall be interpreted and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New Jersey.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Guarantor has hereunto set his hand and seal the 17^th day of October, 2008
