12.2.4.4.

prior to any such contractor’s entering upon the Property, the Building or the Leased Premises or commencing work the Tenant shall have delivered to the Landlord (a) all the Tenant’s certificates of insurance set forth in section 14 of this Agreement, conforming in all respects to the requirements of section 14 of this Agreement, except that the effective dates of all such insurance policies shall be prior to any such contractor’s entering upon the Property, the Building or the Leased Premises or commencing work (if any work is scheduled to begin before the Commencement Date) and (b) similar certificates of insurance from each of the Tenant’s contractors providing for coverage in equivalent amounts, together with their respective certificates of workers’ compensation insurance, employer’s liability insurance and products-completed operations insurance, the latter providing coverage in at least the amount required for the Tenant’s comprehensive general public liability and excess insurance;

In connection with any such improvements, modifications, alterations, other changes, repairs, maintenance or cleaning, the Landlord may close off such portions of the Property, the Building and the Common Facilities and interrupt such services as may be necessary to accomplish such work, without liability to the Tenant therefore and without such closing or interruption being deemed an eviction or constructive eviction or requiring an abatement of Rent.

13.7. The mere enumeration of any right of the Landlord within this section 13 of the Agreement shall not be deemed to create an obligation on the part of the Landlord to exercise any such right unless the Landlord is affirmatively required to exercise such right elsewhere in this Agreement.

14. Liabilities and Insurance Obligations.

14.1. The Tenant shall, at the Tenant’s own expense, purchase before the Commencement Date, and maintain in full force and effect throughout the Term and any other period during which the Tenant may have possession of the Leased Premises, the following types of insurance coverage from financially sound and reputable insurers, licensed by the State of New Jersey to provide such insurance and acceptable to the Landlord, in the minimum amounts set forth below, each of which insurance policies shall be for the benefit of, and shall name the Landlord, the Landlord’s managing agent and mortgagees and ground lessors known to the Tenant, if any, of the Building, the Common Facilities, the Property or any interest therein, their successors and assigns as additional persons insured, and none of which insurance policies shall contain a “co-insurance” clause:

14.1.1.

commercial general liability insurance (including “broad form and contractual liability” coverage) and excess (“umbrella”) insurance which, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, considered together shall insure against such risks as bodily injury, death and property damage, with a combined single limit of not less than $3,000,000.00 for each occurrence; and

14.1.2.

“all-risks” property insurance covering the Leased Premises in an amount sufficient, as determined by the Landlord from time to time, to cover the replacement costs for all Tenant’s alterations, improvements, fixtures and personal property located in or on the Leased Premises.

14.2. With respect to risks:

14.2.1.

as to which this Agreement requires either party to maintain insurance, or

14.2.2.

as to which either party is effectively insured and for which risks the other party may be liable,

14.2.3.

the party required to maintain such insurance and the party effectively insured shall use its best efforts to obtain a clause, if available from the respective insurer, in each such insurance policy expressly waiving any right of recovery, by reason of subrogation to such party’s rights or otherwise, the respective insurer might otherwise have or obtain against the other party, so long as such a clause can be obtained in the respective insurance policy without additional premium cost. If such a clause can be obtained in the respective insurance policy, but only at additional premium cost, such party shall, by notice to the other party, promptly advise the other party of such fact and the amount of the additional premium cost. If the other party desires the inclusion of such a clause in the notifying party’s respective insurance policy, the other party shall, within 10 days of receipt of the notifying party’s notice, by notice advise the notifying party of its desire and enclose therewith its check in the full amount of the additional premium cost; otherwise the notifying party need not obtain such a clause in the respective insurance.

14.3. Each party hereby waives any right of recovery against the other party for any and all damages for property losses and property damages which are actually insured by either party, but only to the extent:

14.3.1.

that the waiver set forth in this subsection 14.3 does not cause or result in any cancellation of, or diminution in, the insurance coverage otherwise available under any applicable insurance policy;

14.3.2.

of the proceeds of any applicable insurance policy (without adjustment for any deductible amount set forth therein) actually received by such party for such respective loss or damages; and

14.3.3.

the substance of the clause contemplated by subsection 14.2 of this Agreement is actually and effectively set forth in the respective insurance policy.

The waiver set forth in this subsection 14.3 of the Agreement shall not apply with respect to liability insurance policies (as opposed to property and casualty insurance policies).

14.4. The Tenant hereby waives any right of recovery it might otherwise have against the Landlord for losses and damages caused actively or passively, in whole or in part, by any of the risks the Tenant is required to insure against in accordance with subsections 14.1.1 or 14.1.2 of this Agreement, unless such waiver would cause or result in a cancellation of, or diminution in, the coverage of the Tenant’s policies of insurance against such risks.

14.5. The Landlord shall have no liability whatsoever to the Tenant or the Tenant’s employees, other agents or Guests or anyone else for any death, bodily injury, property loss or other damages suffered by any of them or any of their property which is not caused directly, exclusively and entirely by the active gross negligence or intentional misconduct of the Landlord without the intervention or contribution of any other cause or contributing factor whatsoever.

14.6. Each policy of insurance required under subsection 14.1 of this Agreement shall include provisions to the effect that:

14.6.1.

no act or omission of the Tenant, its employees, other agents or Guests shall result in a loss of insurance coverage otherwise available under such policy to any person required to be named as an additional insured in accordance with subsection 14.1 of this Agreement; and

14.6.2.

the insurance coverage afforded by such policy shall not be diminished, cancelled, permitted to expire or otherwise terminated for any reason except upon 30 days’ prior written notice from the insurer to every person required to be named as an additional insured in accordance with subsection 14.1 of this Agreement.

14.7. With respect to each type of insurance coverage referred to in subsection 14.1 of this Agreement, prior to the Commencement Date the Tenant shall cause its insurer(s) to deliver to the Landlord the certificate(s) of the insurer(s) setting forth the name and address of the insurer, the name and address of each additional insured, the type of coverage provided, the limits of the coverage, any deductible amounts, the effective dates of coverage and that each policy under which coverage is provided affirmatively includes provisions to the effect set forth in subsection 14.6 of this Agreement. In the event any of such certificates indicates a coverage termination date earlier than the end of the Term or the end of any other period during which the Tenant may have possession of the Leased Premises, no later than 10 days before any such coverage termination date, the Tenant shall deliver to the Landlord respective, equivalent, new certificate(s) of the insurer(s).

15. Casualty Damage to Building or Leased Premises.

15.1. In the event of any damage to the Building or any portion thereof by fire or other casualty, with the result that the Leased Premises are rendered unusable, in whole or in part, then, unless the Building is destroyed or so damaged that the Landlord does not intend to rebuild the same, the Landlord shall, within 30 business days of the casualty, determine the period of time required to restore the Building and the Leased Premises (but not including the improvements constructed or installed prior to the Term or during the Term in excess of the original allowance for the same).

15.1.1.

If, in Landlord’s opinion, the restoration described above will take more than 180 days then Landlord may elect to cancel this Agreement effective as of the date of casualty. Notice of the Landlord’s election shall be served upon the Tenant within the 30 business day period described above.

15.1.2.

If, in Landlord’s opinion, the restoration described above will take 180 days or less, then Landlord shall not cancel this Agreement and must restore the Building and the Leased Premises as aforesaid. In either of such events, the Landlord shall cause restoration to proceed diligently and expediently to the extent the Landlord has received proceeds of any property, casualty or liability insurance on the damaged portions (or would have received such proceeds had it obtained such coverage).

15.2. Rent shall xxxxx from the date of the casualty until:

15.2.1.

such time as the Leased Premises are again fully usable and be reduced during such period by the amount which bears the same proportion to the Rent otherwise payable during such period as the gross rentable floor space of the Leased Premises which are rendered unusable bears to the gross rentable floor space of the Leased Premises. The restoration of the improvements constructed or installed prior to the Term or during the Term in excess of the original allowance for the same shall be the Tenant’s responsibility. Tenant shall make reasonable, good faith efforts to integrate the restoration which is its responsibility with the work which is being performed by Landlord. To the extent that is not feasible, Tenant shall be allowed an additional, reasonable interval to complete its work, not to exceed sixty days and Rent shall xxxxx during the interval required for such restoration. The Landlord shall cooperate with Tenant to integrate the restoration of such improvements during the reconstruction period; or

15.2.2.

this Agreement is canceled pursuant to the provisions of subsections 15.1.

15.3. If, in the Landlord’s opinion, the restoration described above will take more than 180 days and the Landlord makes the election to cancel set forth in subsection 15.1 above then Landlord, in such event, may proceed with restoration (or non-restoration) in any manner it chooses, without any liability to Tenant.

15.4. The Tenant shall promptly advise the Landlord by the quickest means of communication of the occurrence of any casualty damage to the Building or the Leased Premises of which the Tenant becomes aware.

16. Condemnation.

If the Leased Premises, or any portion thereof, or the Building or the Common Facilities, or any substantial portion of any of the foregoing, shall be acquired for any public or quasi-public use or purpose by statute, right of eminent domain or private sale in lieu thereof, with the result the Tenant cannot use and occupy the Leased Premises for the purpose set forth in subsection 7.1 of this Agreement, this Agreement shall terminate and the Tenant hereby waives any claim against the Landlord, the condemning authority or other person acquiring same for anything of value, tangible or intangible, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the putative value of any leasehold interest or loss of the use of same, except for any right the Tenant might have to make a claim, independent of, and without reference to or having any effect on, any award or claim of the Landlord, against the condemning authority or other acquiring party regarding the value of the Tenant’s installed trade fixtures and other installed equipment which are not removable from the Leased Premises or for ordinary and necessary moving expenses occasioned thereby.

17.2. The Tenant shall not assign this Agreement or any of the Tenant’s rights hereunder or sublet the Leased Premises or any portion thereof without first giving three months’ prior notice to the Landlord of its desire to assign or sublet and requesting the Landlord’s consent and without first receiving the Landlord’s prior written consent. The notice shall be accompanied by an agreement by Tenant to reimburse Landlord for the reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the review of the proposed assignment or sublease and the documentation related thereto. The Tenant’s notice to the Landlord also shall include:

17.2.1.

19. Quiet Enjoyment.

The Landlord is the owner of the Building, the Property and the Common Facilities located on the Property. The Landlord has the right and authority to enter into and execute and deliver this Agreement with the Tenant. So long as an Event of Default shall not have occurred, the Tenant shall and may peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy the Leased Premises during the Term in accordance with this Agreement.

20. Relocation.

At any time and from time to time during the Term, on at least 30 days’ prior notice to the Tenant, the Landlord shall have the right to move the Tenant out of the Leased Premises and into premises having comparable size to the Leased Premises located in the Building or in any other comparable building located in the immediate area for the duration of the Term. Comparable size shall mean premises which have floor space which is not more than 100 square feet smaller than the Leased Premises, or larger. In the event the Landlord exercises this right of relocation, the Landlord shall decorate the new premises similarly to the Leased Premises and remove, relocate and reinstall the Tenant’s furniture, trade fixtures, furnishings and equipment, all at the sole cost and expense of the Landlord. When the substitute new premises are ready, the Tenant shall surrender the Leased Premises. Following any such relocation, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect except for the description of the Leased Premises, the Building and the Property which, upon completion of such relocation, shall be deemed amended to describe the substitute new premises, building and property, respectively, to which the Tenant shall have been relocated in accordance with this section 20 of the Agreement.

21. Surrender.

21.1. Upon expiration or other termination of the Term, or at any other time at which the Landlord, by virtue of any provision of this Agreement or otherwise has the right to re-enter and re-take possession of the Leased Premises, the Tenant shall surrender possession of the Leased Premises; remove from the Leased Premises all property owned by the Tenant or anyone else other than the Landlord; remove from the Leased Premises any alterations, improvements or other modifications to the Leased Premises that the Landlord may request by notice; make any repairs required by such removal; clean the Leased Premises; leave the Leased Premises in as good order and condition as it was upon the completion of any improvements contemplated by section 5 of this Agreement, ordinary wear and use excepted; return all copies of all keys and passes to the Leased Premises, the Common Facilities and the Building to the Landlord (or Tenant shall bear the cost of securing replacements); and receive the Landlord’s written acceptance of the Tenant’s surrender. The Landlord shall not be deemed to have accepted the Tenant’s surrender of the Leased Premises unless and until the Landlord shall have executed and delivered the Landlord’s written acceptance of surrender to the Tenant, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

21.2. Within five (5) business days after the expiration or sooner termination of the Term, Landlord may elect (“Election Right”) by written notice to Tenant to:

Require Tenant to perform the Wire Restoration Work at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. In such event, Tenant shall submit the contract for the Wire Restoration Work to Landlord for Landlord’s prior approval.

21.5.4.

23.2.1.

all accrued but unpaid Rent;

23.7. In view of the relatively free right to sublet and assign, and for other reasons, it is expressly understood and agreed that the Landlord shall have no duty to mitigate damages. In the event the Landlord elects the right and remedy set forth in subsection 23.1.2 of this Agreement, Re-Leasing Damages shall be equal to the Rent less any rent actually and timely received by the Landlord from any lessee of the Leased Premises or any portion thereof, payable at the respective times that Rent is payable under the Agreement plus the cost, if any, to the Landlord of building out or otherwise preparing the Leased Premises for, and leasing the Leased Premises to, any such lessee. The Landlord may relet some or all of the Leased Premises but shall have no duty to do so. The Tenant shall retain its rights to sublet or assign the Leased Premises, or portions thereof, pursuant to section 17 of this Lease except to the extent that the Landlord shall have already relet the same which shall abrogate the Tenant’s rights, pro tanto.

The Tenant shall be liable for any damage which it causes in the removal of said property from the Leased Premises. No notice is required that Landlord has deemed the property abandoned if the property remains in the Leased Premises after Tenant moves out. This provision shall survive the termination or expiration of the Lease.

expiration of the Term;

24.1.2.

under the circumstances contemplated by subsection 15.1 of this Agreement, upon the Tenant’s giving prompt notice of the failure of the Landlord to give, on a timely basis, the notice contemplated by subsection 15.1.2 of this Agreement and that the Tenant desires termination of the Term (which termination shall be effective as of the date of the subject casualty with respect to those portions of the Leased Premises rendered untenantable and as of the date of the Tenant’s giving notice with respect to those portions of the Leased Premises which were not rendered untenantable);

24.1.4.

under the circumstances contemplated by subsection 15.1 of this Agreement, upon the expiration of 45 additional days (without the Landlord’s completion of restoration in the interim) after the Tenant shall have given prompt notice that the Landlord has not restored the Leased Premises on a timely basis and that the Tenant desires termination of the Term (which termination shall be effective as of the date of the subject casualty with respect to those portions of the Leased Premises rendered untenantable and as of the date of the Tenant’s giving notice with respect to those portions of the Leased Premises which were not rendered untenantable);

24.1.5.

the effective date of any election by the Landlord under subsection 17.3.3 of this Agreement in response to the Tenant’s notice of the Tenant’s desire to assign this Agreement or to sublet all or a portion of the Leased Premises; or

24.1.6.

the effective date of any election by the Landlord to terminate the Term under subsection 23.1.1 of this Agreement.

24.2. No termination of the Term shall have the effect of releasing the Tenant from any obligation or liability theretofore or thereby incurred and, until the Tenant shall have surrendered the Leased Premises in accordance with section 21 of this Agreement, from any obligation or liability thereafter incurred.

25. Mortgage and Underlying Lease Priority.

This Agreement and the estate, interest and rights hereby created for the benefit of the Tenant are, and shall always be, subordinate to any mortgage (other than a mortgage created by the Tenant or a sale, transfer or other disposition by the Tenant in the nature of a security interest in violation of subsections 17.1.4 and 22.5, respectively, of this Agreement) already or afterwards placed on the Property, the Common Facilities, the Building or any estate or interest therein including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any new mortgage or any mortgage extension, renewal, modification, consolidation, replacement, supplement or substitution. This Agreement and the estate, interest and rights hereby created for the benefit of the Tenant are, and shall always be, subordinate to any ground lease already or afterwards made with regard to the Property, the Common Facilities, the Building or any estate or interest therein including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any new ground lease or any ground lease extension, renewal, modification, consolidation, replacement, supplement or substitution. The provisions of this section 25 of the Agreement shall be self-effecting; and no further instrument shall be necessary to effect any such subordination. Nevertheless, the Tenant hereby consents that any mortgagee or mortgagee’s successor in interest may, at any time and from time to time, by notice to the Tenant, subordinate its mortgage to the estate and interest created by this Agreement; and upon the giving of such notice, the subject mortgage shall be deemed subordinate to the estate and interest created by this Agreement regardless of the respective times of execution or delivery of either or of recording the subject mortgage.

26. Transfer by Landlord.

26.1. The Landlord shall have the right at any time and from time to time to sell, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of the Property, the Common Facilities or the Building or any of the Landlord’s interests therein, or to assign this Agreement or any of the Landlord’s rights thereunder.

26.2. Upon giving notice of the occurrence of any transaction contemplated by subsection 26.1 of this Agreement, the Landlord shall thereby be relieved of any obligation that might otherwise exist under this Agreement with respect to periods subsequent to the effective date of any such transaction. If, in connection with any transaction contemplated by subsection 26.1 of this Agreement the Landlord transfers, or makes allowance for, any Security Deposit of the Tenant and gives notice of that fact to the Tenant, the Landlord shall thereby be relieved of any further obligation to the Tenant with regard to any such Security Deposit; and the Tenant shall look solely to the transferee with respect to any such Security Deposit.

26.3. In the event of the occurrence of any transaction contemplated by subsection 26.1 of this Agreement the Tenant, upon written request therefore from the transferee, shall attorn to and become the tenant of such transferee upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

26.4 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary that may be set forth in subsections 26.1, 26.2 and 26.3 of this Agreement, in the event any mortgage contemplated by section 25 of this Agreement is enforced by the respective mortgagee pursuant to remedies provided in the mortgage or otherwise provided by law or equity and any person succeeds to the interest of the Landlord as a result of, or in connection with, any such enforcement, the Tenant shall, upon the request of such successor in interest, automatically attorn to and become the Tenant of such successor in interest without any change in the terms or provisions of this Agreement, except that such successor in interest shall not be bound by: (a) any payment of Basic Rent or Additional Rent (exclusive of prepayments in the nature of a Security Deposit) for more than one month in advance or (b) any amendment or other modification of this Agreement which was made without the consent of such mortgagee or such successor in interest; and, upon the request of such successor in interest, the Tenant shall execute, acknowledge and deliver any instrument(s) confirming such attornment.

26.5. If this Agreement and the estate, interest and rights hereby created for the benefit of the Tenant are ever subject and subordinate to any ground lease contemplated by section 25 of this Agreement:

26.5.1.

upon the expiration or earlier termination of the term of any such ground lease before the termination of the Term under this Agreement, the Tenant shall attorn to, and become the Tenant of, the lessor under any such ground lease and recognize such lessor as the Landlord under this Agreement for the balance of the Term; and

26.5.2.

such expiration or earlier termination of the term of any such ground lease shall have no effect on the Term under this Agreement.

27. Indemnification.

27.1. The Tenant shall, and hereby does, indemnify the Landlord against any and all liabilities, obligations, damages, penalties, claims, costs, charges and expenses including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, expenses of investigation, defense and enforcement thereof or of the obligation set forth in this section 27 of the Agreement including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, attorneys’ fees, imposed on or incurred by the Landlord in connection with any of the following matters which occurs during the Term:

27.1.1.

any negligence or intentional act on the part of the Tenant or any of its employees, other agents or Guests;

27.1.6.

any failure on the part of the Tenant to perform or comply with any obligation of the Tenant set forth in this Agreement.

27.2. Payment of indemnification claims by the Tenant to the Landlord shall be due upon the Landlord’s giving notice thereof to the Tenant.

The Landlord shall promptly give notice of any claim asserted, or action or proceeding commenced, against it as to which it intends to claim indemnification from the Tenant and, upon notice from the Tenant so requesting, shall forward to the Tenant copies of all claim or litigation documents received by it. Upon receipt of such notice the Tenant may, by notice to the Landlord, participate therein and, to the extent it may desire, assume the defense thereof through independent counsel selected by the Tenant and reasonably satisfactory to the Landlord. The Landlord shall not be bound by any compromise or settlement of any such claim, action or proceeding without its prior written consent.

28.1. None of the following occurrences shall constitute a breach of this Agreement by the Landlord, a termination of the Term, an active or constructive eviction or an occurrence requiring an abatement of Rent:

28.1.1.

the inability of the Landlord to provide any utility or service to be provided by the Landlord, as described in section 8 of this Agreement which is due to causes beyond the Landlord’s control, or to necessary or advisable improvements, maintenance, repairs or emergency, so long as the Landlord uses reasonable efforts and diligence under the circumstances to restore the interrupted service or utility;

any change in any Federal, state or local law or ordinance.

28.2. Except for the commencement, duration or termination of the Term (other than under the circumstances contemplated by subsection 15.1 of this Agreement), the Tenant’s obligation to make timely payments of Rent, the Tenant’s obligation to maintain certain insurance coverage in effect, the Tenant’s failure to perform any of its other obligations under this Agreement if such failure has caused loss or damage that cannot promptly be cured by subsequent act of the Tenant and the period within which any Option to Renew or any other type of option or optional right exercisable by the Tenant must be exercised, any period of time during which the Landlord or the Tenant is prevented from performing any of its respective obligations under this Agreement because of fire, any other casualty or catastrophe, strikes, lockouts, civil commotion, acts of God or the public enemy, governmental prohibitions or preemptions, embargoes or inability to obtain labor or material due to shortage, governmental regulation or prohibition, shall be added to the time when such performance is otherwise required under this Agreement.

28.3. Landlord shall not be liable for any loss suffered or incurred by Tenant, or any interruption of or injury to its business or property by reason of the use of the Grand Master Key or electronic card key access by Landlord or its representatives. In the event the Landlord is an individual, an entity, partnership, joint venture, association or a participant in a joint tenancy or tenancy in common, neither the Landlord, nor any of its officers, directors, shareholders, partners, venturers, members and joint owners shall have any personal liability or obligation under or in connection with this Agreement or the Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Leased Premises; but recourse shall be limited exclusively to the Landlord’s interest in the Building.

28.4. If Landlord shall be unable to give possession of the Leased Premises on the Target Date for any reason whatsoever, Landlord shall not be subject to any liability for such failure.

28.5. If, at any time during the Term, the payment or collection of any Rent otherwise due under this Agreement shall be limited, frozen or otherwise subjected to a moratorium by applicable law, and such limitation, freeze or other moratorium shall subsequently be lifted, whether before or after the termination of the Term, such aggregate amount of Rent as shall not have been paid or collected during the Term on account of any such limitation, freeze or other moratorium, shall thereupon be due and payable at once. There shall be added to the maximum period of any otherwise applicable statute of limitation the entire period during which any such limitation, freeze or other moratorium shall have been in effect.

28.6. If this Agreement is executed by more than one person as Tenant, their liability under this Agreement and in connection with the use and occupancy of the Leased Premises shall be joint and several.

28.7 In the event any rate of interest, or other charge in the nature of interest, calculated as set forth in this Agreement would lead to the imposition of a rate of interest in excess of the maximum rate permitted by applicable usury law, only the maximum rate permitted shall be charged and collected.

28.8. The rule of construction that any ambiguities that may be contained in any contract shall be construed against the party drafting the contract shall be inapplicable in construing this Agreement.

In no event shall compliance be permitted to be achieved by Tenant by the use of engineering or institutional controls.

32.5. In the event compliance with ISRA is required and evidence of compliance with ISRA is not delivered to the Landlord prior to expiration or earlier termination of the Term, Tenant shall be liable for all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in enforcing Tenant’s obligations hereunder until such time as evidence of compliance with ISRA has been delivered to the Landlord, and together with any costs and expenses, including legal and environmental consultant fees incurred by Landlord in enforcing Tenant's obligations under subsection 7.2.8 and subsection 32.4 of this Agreement.

Such Post-Term Rent shall no longer be due when (a) the only remaining requirement is purely administrative action on the part of the NJDEP, or (b) an FRD is filed with the NJDEP by an LSRP, or (c) from and after the commencement date of a lease of the Leased Premises to a third party.

33. Waiver of Jury Trial and Arbitration.

Judgment upon any arbitration award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

34. Severability.

In the event that any provision of this Agreement, or the application of any provision in any instance, shall be conclusively determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, invalid or otherwise unenforceable, such determination shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the balance of this Agreement.

35. Notices.

All notices contemplated by, permitted or required by this Agreement shall be in writing. All notices required by this Agreement shall be personally delivered or forwarded by recognized overnight carrier or by certified mail-return receipt requested, addressed to the intended party at its address first set forth above or, in the case of notices to the Tenant during the Term or any other period during which the Tenant shall be in possession of the Leased Premises, at the Leased Premises. All notices required under this Agreement shall be deemed given (i) upon delivery by overnight carrier; (ii) upon deposit, properly addressed and postage prepaid, in a postal depository if delivery is by certified mail; or (iii) upon personal delivery to the intended party, regardless of whether delivery shall be refused. Either party, by a notice served in accordance with the foregoing provisions, may change the address to which notices shall be sent. Notices given by an attorney for a party shall be deemed to be notices given by the party.

36. Captions.

Captions have been inserted at the beginning of each section of this Agreement for convenience of reference only and such captions shall not affect the construction or interpretation of any such section of this Agreement.

37. Counterparts.

This Agreement may be executed in more than one counterpart, each of which shall constitute an original of this Agreement but all of which, taken together, shall constitute one and the same Agreement. Any signature page to any counterpart may be detached from the original counterpart to which it was attached, and then attached to another counterpart that is identical to the original counterpart, without impairing the legal effect of the signatures thereon.

38. Applicable Law.

This Agreement and the obligations of the parties hereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New Jersey.

39. Exclusive Benefit.

Except as may be otherwise specifically set forth in this Agreement, this Agreement is made exclusively for the benefit of the parties hereto and their permitted assignees and no one else shall be entitled to any right, remedy or claim by reason of any provision of this Agreement.

40. Successors.

41. Amendments.

This Agreement contains the entire agreement of the parties hereto, subsumes all prior discussions and negotiations and, except as may otherwise be specifically set forth in this Agreement, this Agreement may not be amended or otherwise modified except by a writing signed by all the parties to this Agreement.

42. Waiver.

Except as may otherwise be specifically set forth in this Agreement, the failure of any party at any time or times to require performance of any provision of this Agreement shall in no manner affect the right at a later time to enforce the same. No waiver by any party of any condition, or of the breach of any term, covenant, representation or warranty set forth in this Agreement, whether by conduct or otherwise, in any one or more instances shall be deemed to be or construed as a further or continuing waiver of any such condition or breach, or as a waiver of any other condition or of the breach of any other term, covenant, representation or warranty set forth in this Agreement. The Landlord’s acceptance of, or endorsement on, any partial payment of Rent or any late payment of Rent from the Tenant shall not operate as a waiver of the Landlord’s right to the balance of the Rent due on a timely basis regardless of any writing to the contrary on, or accompanying, the Tenant’s partial payment or the Landlord’s putative acquiescence therein.

43. Course of Performance.

No course of dealing or performance by the parties, or any of them, shall be admissible for the purpose of obtaining an interpretation or construction of this Agreement at variance with the express language of the Agreement itself.
