assessments, sewer rents, rates and charges, state and local taxes, transit
taxes or any other governmental charge, general, special, ordinary or
extraordinary, hereinafter collectively called taxes (but not including income
or franchise taxes or any other taxes imposed upon or measured by the Landlord's
income or profits, except if in substitution for real estate taxes as
hereinafter provided) which may now or hereafter be levied or assessed against
the Property and upon the Building (hereinafter collectively called the "Real
property") attributable to any tax year shall be greater than the amount of
taxes on the Real Property attributable to the Base Year, then the Tenant shall
pay to the Landlord, as additional rent, an amount equal to that proportion of
such increase as the Gross Rentable Area of the leased premises bears to the
Gross Rentable Area of the Building, which proportion is designated as "Tenant's
Percentage", which for the purposes of this lease has been established as 2%.
"Base Year" for purposes of this Article 4.1 shall mean the tax rate in effect
as of the calendar year 1998, and the assessment shall be the calendar year in
which the Building was fully assessed (which is 1987) as a completed building.
The Landlord shall take the benefit of the provisions of any statute or
ordinance permitting any assessment to be paid over a period of time, and Tenant
shall be obliged to pay Tenant's Percentage only of the installments of any such
assessment applicable to the terms of this lease or any renewal hereof. Any
amount due to the Landlord under the provisions of this Article 4.1 (a) shall be
paid as part of Additional Rent as hereinafter provided in Article 4.2. Landlord
shall furnish to Tenant a detailed statement showing the computation of Tenant's
percentage of real estate taxes as part of the requirements of Article 4.2(c).
The amount of taxes for the Base Year, against which Tenant's liability for
Additional Rent in subsequent years is determined, shall be the amount thereof
finally determined to be legally payable by legal proceedings or otherwise. In
the event the amount of taxes for the Base Year has not been finally determined
by legal proceedings or otherwise at the time of payment of taxes for any
subsequent year, the actual amount of taxes paid by landlord for the Base Year
shall be used in the statement provided by Landlord as the basis for Tenant's
liability hereunder with respect to such subsequent year. Upon final
determination of the amount of taxes for the Base Year by legal proceedings or
otherwise, landlord shall deliver to Tenant a statement setting forth the amount
of taxes for the Base Year as finally determined and showing in reasonable
detail the computation of any adjustment due to landlord by reason thereof. Any
payment due to Landlord by reason of such adjustment shall be paid as
hereinbefore provided.
(b) If landlord shall receive any tax refund or rebate in
respect of any tax year following the Base year, landlord may deduct from such
tax refund any reasonable
3
expenses incurred in obtaining such tax refund, and out of the remaining balance
of such tax refund, Landlord shall pay to Tenant that proportion of such refund
or rebate as the rentable area of the leased premises bears to the rentable area
of the Building provided that Tenant shall have paid the Landlord any portion of
the taxes being refunded.
(c) If the tax year for real estate taxes shall be changed,
then an appropriate adjustment shall be made in the computation of the
additional tax due to Landlord or any amount due to Tenant. The computation
shall be made in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
applied on a consistent basis.
(d) If the last year of the term of this lease ends on any day
other than the last day of a tax year, any payment due to landlord or to tenant
by reason of any increase or decrease in taxes shall be prorated and Tenant
shall pay any amount due to Landlord within thirty (30) days after being billed
therefor, and Landlord shall pay any amount due to Tenant. This covenant shall
survive the expiration or termination of this lease.
(e) If at any time during the term of this lease the method or
scope of taxation prevailing at the commencement of the lease term shall be
altered, modified or enlarged so as to cause the method of taxation to be
changed, in whole or in part, so that in substitution for the real estate taxes
now assessed there may be, in whole or in part, a capital levy or other
imposition based on the value of the Real Property, or the rents received
therefrom, or some other form of assessment based in whole or in part on some
other valuation of the Landlord's Real Property, as if such Real Property were
the only property owned by the Landlord, then and in such event, such
substituted tax or imposition shall be payable and discharged pro rata, as
applicable, in accordance with the obligations set forth in this Article 4,
computed on the basis of such law promulgated which shall authorize such change
in the scope of taxation, and as required by the terms and conditions of the
within lease.
4.2 Additional rent, operating expenses.
(a) In the event that the amount of Operating Expenses (as
hereinafter defined) for the Base Year (for the purposes of this Article 4.2
herein defined to be the first calendar year of Tenant's occupancy) shall be
less than the amount of Operating Expenses for any succeeding calendar year,
then Tenant shall pay to landlord Tenant's percentage of the increase in
Operating Expenses for said succeeding calendar year, such cost to be projected
and interpolated as if the Building were 95% rented during the Base Year
hereinabove defined.

If Landlord shall purchase any item of capital equipment or make any capital

subsequent years amortized on a straight-line basis, over an appropriate period,

respect to an item of cost that is included in Operating Expenses (other than
reimbursements to landlord by tenants of the Building pursuant to Operating
Expenses escalation provisions). If landlord shall eliminate the payment of any
wages or other labor costs or otherwise reduce Operating Expenses as a result of
the installation of new devices or equipment, or by any other means, then in
computing the Operating Expenses the corresponding items shall be deducted from

Tenant in writing of such required payment and at the expiration
7
of the second lease year Landlord and Tenant agree to adjust such estimated
payment as hereinafter set forth in subsection (ii).
(ii) Commencing with the third calendar year of
the lease term, and continuing yearly thereafter, in the event the Tenant
shall be required to pay additional rent for Operating Expenses as in this
Article 4.2 required, the Tenant agrees, in addition to the Annual Base Rent
to be paid pursuant to Article 3, that it will pay monthly 1/12th of the sum
required to be paid as Additional Rent attributable to Tenant's Percentage of
Operating Expenses for the prior lease year or Landlord's estimate thereof if
the actual Operating Expenses have not been ascertained. Such monthly payment
shall be made together with Tenant's regular monthly payment of Annual Basic
Rent. At the end of each lease, including the end of the second lease year as
hereinabove provided in subsection (i), there shall be an adjustment between
the Landlord and Tenant with respect to the aggregate of the monthly
Additional Rent paid for Operating Expenses so as to either (i) require
payment by tenant to Landlord of any amount required in excess of the twelve
(12) monthly payments, based on the prior year's Operating Expenses as

time within ninety (90) days following the delivery by Landlord to Tenant of
such statement. Tenant shall have an additional sixty (60) days to file any
written exception to any item of expense, however, nothing herein shall be
deemed to afford Tenant any right to withhold any payment due from Tenant to
Landlord; and, in the event of any such withholding of payment of Annual basic
Rent or Additional rent, Tenant shall pay the Premium Rate, computed daily from
the date of default to the date of payment. Each expense for which Landlord
shall xxxx Tenant as set forth hereinabove shall be necessary and reasonable for
the operation of the Building and Property and shall be delineated by Landlord
in detail to Tenant.
(e) If the last year of the term of this lease ends on any day
other than the last day of a calendar year, any payment due to Landlord or to
tenant by reason of any increase or decrease in Operating Expenses shall be
prorated and Tenant shall pay any amount due to Landlord within thirty (30) days
after being billed therefor. This covenant shall survive the expiration or
termination of this lease.

premises for general offices purposes only, and for no other purpose.
8
5.2 The Tenant covenants and agrees that it will not use the
leased premises for any use which creates an extra hazard of fire or other

leased premises. Tenant shall be responsible for all damage of any kind or
character to the leased premises including the windows, floors, walls and
ceilings, caused by Tenant or by anyone using or occupying the leased premises
by, through or under the Tenant. Landlord shall repair the same as deemed

therefor to Landlord upon demand. Anything hereinabove contained to the contrary
notwithstanding, it is expressly understood and agreed that the Tenant shall, at
its sole cost and expense, be responsible for the repair, maintenance and
replacement of any items installed by Landlord for Tenant's use as leasehold
improvements over and above the improvements furnished by Landlord. Landlord
shall not be liable by reason of any injury to or interference with Tenant's
business arising from the making of any repairs, alterations, additions or

appurtenances or equipment therein. There shall be no abatement of rent because
of such repairs, alterations, additions or improvements or because of any delay

between the hours of 8:00 A.M. and 6:00 P.M. Monday through Friday; 8:00 A.M.
and 12:00 P.M. Saturdays (Sundays and national holidays excluded).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that the Tenant shall
9
have twenty-four (24) hour access to the Building at all times. Landlord shall,
at its cost and expense, install a submeter to measure Tenant's use of electric
energy at the leased premises and may also install a bypass switch to measure
and monitor hours of overtime usage by Tenant at the rate of $40.00 per hour
during the first year of the term hereof and thereafter, said hourly charge
shall be increased annually by the percentage increase in electric and gas
utility rates for the Building operation, if any. If a bypass switch may not be
installed, Tenant agrees that it will keep a log of its overtime hours and
furnish to Landlord monthly a statement of any such overtime. Landlord reserves
the right to establish such other methods of monitoring overtime use, and Tenant
agrees to comply with any such reasonable regulations, which regulations in any
event shall apply to all other tenants of the Building.
7.2 Electric energy for Tenant's requirements within the leased
premises (excluding HVAC), including Tenant's electric for lighting, electric
typewriters, adding machines, copying machines, work processors, and any other
similar electricity requirements, as are customarily used in a general business
office, shall be paid for by tenant to the Landlord, based upon a Landlord
handling fee and the charges indicated by the submeter which shall be installed
by Landlord to monitor such electric usage within the leased premises. Any
requirements for high energy computers shall be only with the express written
consent of Landlord who reserves the right to require Tenant to pay any
additional costs attributable to such high energy use including any additional
requirements for air-conditioning attributable to such use or installation of
additional power service.
7.3 Tenant agrees not to connect any additional electrical
equipment of any type to the Building electric distribution system over and
above that equipment shown on Tenant's Plan without the Landlord's prior written
consent, however, Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold such consent.

the supply or character of electric energy furnished on the leased premises by
reason of any requirement, act or omission of the public utility serving the
Building with electricity. Tenant's use of electric energy in the leased
premises shall not at any time exceed the capacity of any of the electric
conductors and equipment in or otherwise serving the leased premises.
7.4 Janitorial services are as referred to on Schedule "E" annexed
hereto and made a part hereof.
8. INABILITY TO PERFORM
In case Landlord is prevented or delated in furnishing any
service as set forth herein or otherwise by reason of any cause beyond
Landlord's reasonable control, Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant therefor,
nor shall Tenant be entitled to any abatement or reduction in Annual Basic Rent
by reason thereof, nor shall the same give rise to a claim in Tenant's favor
that such absence of Building services constitutes actual or constructive, total
or partial eviction or renders the leased premises untenantable. Landlord
reserves the right to stop any service or utility system, when necessary by
reason of accident or emergency, or until necessary repairs have been completed,
provided, however, that in each instance of stoppage, Landlord shall exercise
reasonable diligence to eliminate the cause thereof. Except in case of emergency
repairs, Landlord will give tenant reasonable advance notice of any contemplated
10
stoppage and will use reasonable efforts to avoid unnecessary inconvenience to
Tenant by reason thereof. Landlord agrees, however, that it will use all
reasonable efforts to obtain restoration of services based on the then existing
circumstances.
9. INSURANCE
Tenant shall keep in force at its own expense comprehensive
general liability insurance (including a contractual liability insurance
endorsement) in companies acceptable to Landlord sufficient to cover such
indemnification and naming as insured Landlord, owner of the Property,
Landlord's managing agent, if any, Landlords mortgagees and Tenant against
claims for "personal injury", including bodily injury and death, in amounts not
less than three million and 00/100 ($3,000,000.00) dollars, and for property
damage in amounts not less than one million and 00/100 ($1,000,000.00) dollars,
(or such higher limits as may be determined by Landlord), and Tenant will
further deposit the policy or policies of such insurance, or certificates
thereof, with Landlord. Said policy or policies of insurance or certificates
thereof shall have attached thereto an endorsement that such policy shall not be
cancelled without at lease ten (10) days' prior written notice to Landlord and
Landlord's managing agent, if any, and that no act or omission of Tenant shall
invalidate the interest of Landlord under said insurance. Landlord and Tenant
hereby release the other from any and all liability or responsibility to the
other or anyone claiming through or under them by way of subrogation or
otherwise for any loss or damage to property covered by any insurance then in
force, even if such fire or other casualty shall have been caused by the fault
or negligence of the other party, or anyone for whom such party may be
responsible, provided, however, that this release shall be applicable and in
force and effect only to the extent of and with respect to any loss or damage
occurring during such time as the policy or policies of insurance covering said
loss shall contain a clause or endorsement to the effect that this release shall
not adversely affect or impair said insurance or prejudice the right of the
insured to recover thereunder.
10. LANDLORD'S ACCESS FOR FUTURE CONSTRUCTION
The Landlord reserves the right to enter the Building,
property and leased premises in connection with the construction and erection of
any additions or improvements to the Building and Property of which the leased

Landlord to be abandoned, and Tenant shall reimburse to Landlord the reasonable
cost of removal thereof from the leased premises, including any cost of disposal
thereof.

11.2 The Tenant shall repair, at its cost and expense, any damage

encumber this lease, nor sublet all or any part of the leased premises or permit
the same to be occupied or used by anyone other than Tenant or its employees
without Landlord's prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed. It will not be unreasonable for Landlord to withhold its
consent if the reputation, financial responsibility, or business of a proposed
assignee or subtenant is unsatisfactory to Landlord, or if Landlord deems such
business to not be consistent with that of other tenants in the Building, or if
the intended use by the proposed assignee or subtenant conflicts with any
commitment made by Landlord to any other tenant in the Building, or if the
proposed rental rate is lower than the then current rate at which similar space
in the Building is being offered by Landlord, or if the proposed subletting is
to a prospective subtenant for less than fifty (50%) per cent of the leased
premises, provided that:
(A) Tenant's request for consent to sublease and assignment
shall be in writing and contain the name, address, and description of the
business of the proposed assignee or subtenant, its most recent financial
statement and other evidence of financial responsibility, its intended use of
the leased premises, and the terms and conditions of the proposed assignment or
subletting.
(B) Within thirty (30) days from receipt of such request,
Landlord shall either: (a) grant or refuse consent; or (b) elect to require
Tenant (i) to execute an assignment of lease or sublease of Tenant's interest
hereunder to Landlord or its designee upon the same terms and conditions as are
contained herein, together with an assignment of Tenant's interest as sublessor
in any such proposed sublease, or (ii) if the request is for consent to a
proposed assignment of this lease, to terminate this lease and the term hereof
effective as of the last day of the third month following the month in which the
request was received.
(C) Each assignee hereunder shall assume and be deemed to have
assumed this lease and shall be and remain liable jointly and severally with
Tenant for all payments and for the due performance of all terms, covenants,
conditions and provisions herein contained on
12
Tenant's part to be observed and performed. No assignment shall be binding upon
Landlord unless the assignee shall deliver to Landlord an instrument in
recordable form containing a covenant of assumption by the assignee, but the
failure or refusal of assignee to execute the same shall not release assignee
from it's liability as set forth herein.
(D) Landlord shall not be deemed to have unreasonably withheld
its consent if it shall in any instance refuse such consent to:
(i) subletting to more than two subtenants
(including Tenant) for the entire leased premises;
(ii) as assignment or sublease for a term of less
than two (2) years (unless the unexpired term hereof shall be less than
two (2) years, in which event, such sublease shall be for one day less than
such unexpired term).
(E) If such consent to any assignment or subletting hereunder
shall be given:
(i) such consent to assign this lease or to
sublet shall not release or discharge Tenant of or from any liability, whether
past, present or future, under this lease and Tenant shall continue fully liable
under this lease for any default under or in respect of any of the terms,
covenants, conditions, provisions or agreements of this lease;
(ii) the subtenant or subtenants shall agree to
perform faithfully and be bound by all the terms, covenants, conditions,
provisions or agreements of this lease to the extent of the leased premises
sublet;
(iii) an executed copy of each sublease and agreement
of assumption of performance by each of the subtenants (limited to the extent of
the leased premises sublet) shall be delivered to Landlord promptly upon
execution;
(iv) (a) the tenant shall pay to the Landlord
monthly, one-half of any increment in rent received by Tenant per square foot
per annum over the Annual Basic Rent and any Additional Rent then in effect
during the year of assignment or subletting, which payment shall be made monthly
together with the required monthly payments of Annual Basic rent to be paid
pursuant to Article 3; and (b) if Tenant receives any consideration or value for
such assignment or subletting Landlord shall be paid one-half of any such
consideration or value within 10 days after receipt of the same by Tenant. As a
condition hereunder, Tenant warrants and represents to Landlord that it will
furnish to Landlord a copy of all pertinent documents with respect to any such
assignment or subletting so as to establish Tenant's obligation to Landlord
hereunder.
13.2 Tenant is expressly prohibited from assigning or subleasing
Tenant's leased space to any tenant, or assignee or subtenant of a tenant,
occupying space in the Freehold Executive Center. Any assignment or sublease in
violation of the prohibition hereinabove referred to shall be deemed a default
under this lease.
13
13.3 As an express inducement to Landlord to enter into this lease,
Tenant agrees that in the event it elects to assign or sublease, and in the
event Landlord shall not recapture the leased premises as hereinbefore provided
in Article 13.1, Tenant agrees that it will grant to the Landlord's managing
agent a six (6) month exclusive to produce an assignee or subtenant pursuant to
the authorization of tenant, the managing agent to be paid a customary brokerage
commission in accordance with the practice of the local real estate boards in
consideration of the services rendered in the event of the consummation of any
such assignment of lease or sublease of the leased premises.
14. FIRE
14.1 In case of any damage to the Building on the Property by fire
or other casualty occurring during the term of this lease or previous thereto,
which renders the leased premises wholly untenantable so that the same cannot be
repaired within one hundred twenty (120) days from the happening of such damage,
then the terms hereby created shall, at the option of the Landlord, terminate
from the date of such damage. In the event the Landlord elects to terminate the
lease for any reason which is due to the inability to restore the same within
the one hundred twenty (120) day period, Landlord shall notify the Tenant, in
writing, certified mail, return receipt requested, of such a fact within thirty
(3) days of the happening of the fire or casualty, and in such event the tenant
shall immediately surrender the leased premises and shall pay rent only to the
time of such damage and the Landlord may re-enter and repossess the leased
premises discharged from this lease. In the event the Landlord can restore the
leased premises within one hundred twenty (120) days, it shall advise the Tenant
of such fact within thirty (30) days of such damage in writing, by certified
mail, return receipt requested, and the lease shall remain in full force and
effect during the period of Landlord's restoration, except that rent shall xxxxx
while the repairs and restorations are being made, but the rent shall recommence
upon restoration of the leased premises and delivery of the same by the Landlord
to the Tenant. Landlord agrees that it will undertake reconstruction and
restoration of the damaged premises with due diligence and reasonable speed and
dispatch.
14.2 If the Building shall be damaged, but the damage is repairable
by Landlord's estimation within one hundred twenty (120) days, the Landlord
agrees to repair the same with reasonable promptness. In such event, the rent
accrued and accruing shall not xxxxx, except for that portion of the leased
premises that has been rendered untenantable and as to that portion the rent
shall xxxxx based on equitable adjustments as determined by Landlord.
14.3 In connection with Landlord's restoration as hereinabove
referred to, in determining what constitutes reasonable promptness consideration
shall be given to delays caused by acts of God, strikes, and other causes of
Force Majeure beyond the Landlord's control.
14.4 The Tenant shall immediately notify the Landlord in case of
fire or other damage to the leased premises.
14.5 Notwithstanding anything contained in Articles 14.1 or 14.2
above, if such repairs are for any reason not completed within one hundred
twenty (120) days, then the
14
Tenant shall have the right to terminate this lease, and in such event of
termination Landlord and Tenant shall thereupon be released of liability one to
the other, and the within lease shall be deemed null and void.
15. COMPLIANCE WITH LOCAL RULES AND REGULATIONS
15.2 Landlord covenants and agrees with Tenant that upon acceptance
and occupancy of the leased premises, the leased premises will comply with all
statutes, ordinances, rules, orders, regulations and requirements of the Federal
State and Municipal Government and of any and all their departments and bureaus,
and to the requirements of the Board of Fire Underwriters or its equivalent in
the State of New Jersey, which are applicable to the use and construction of the
same.
15.2 The Tenant covenants and agrees that upon and after acceptance
and occupancy of the leased premises, it will promptly execute and comply with
all statutes, ordinances, rules, orders, regulations and requirements of the
Federal, State and Municipal Government and of any and all their departments and
bureaus (provided same are applicable to Tenant's occupancy or use of said
leased premises) or to the reasonable rules promulgated by the Landlord in
writing for the correction, prevention and abatement of nuisances, violations or
other grievances, in, upon or connected with said leased premises during said
term and arising from the operations of the Tenant therein, at the Tenant's cost
and expense, subject to the right of the Tenant to contest the decision by any
such department or bureau as hereinafter mentioned. In the event the Tenant
contests any such governmental decision, it shall indemnify, defend and save the
Landlord harmless from any fine, penalty, costs and liability imposed upon the
Landlord as a result of Tenant's failure so to comply. The tenant covenants and
agrees, at its own cost and expense, to comply with such regulations or requests
as may be required by the fire or liability insurance carriers providing
insurance for the leased premises, and will further comply with such other
requirements that may be promulgated by the Board of Fire Underwriters or its
equivalent in connection with the use and occupancy of the leased premises by
the Tenant in the conduct of its business. Anything hereinabove to the contrary
notwithstanding, it is expressly understood and agreed that the Tenant shall not
be required to make structural changes in the Building if the same are required
by governmental regulation, as the same may be applicable as a matter of general
application to the leased premises, provided that the Tenant shall be required
to make structural changes that may be required by governmental regulation if
directly attributable and resulting from Tenant's occupancy and use of the
Building in the conduct of its business.
15.3 If the Tenant shall fail or neglect to comply with the
aforesaid statutes, ordinances, rules, orders, regulations and requirements or
any of them, failure of the Tenant to comply with the requirements of Article
15.2 above shall be deemed an item of default for which the Landlord shall have
recourse by termination of this lease of exercise of any other rights reserved
to the Landlord hereunder, in accordance with the terms and conditions of this
lease.
15
16. TERMINATION
16.1 If there should occur any default on the part of the Tenant in
the performance of any conditions and covenants herein contained, or if during
the term hereof the leased premises or any part thereof shall be or become
abandoned or deserted, or should the Tenant be evicted by summary proceedings or
otherwise, the Landlord, in addition to any other remedies herein contained or
as may be permitted by law, may without being liable for damages, re-enter the
leased premises and take possession thereof; and, without being obligated to
relet the leased premises as agent for the Tenant or otherwise, the landlord may
at its option relet the leased premises and receive the rents therefor and apply
the same, first to the payment of such expenses, including real estate
brokerage, reasonable attorney fees and costs, as the Landlord may have been put
into reentering and repossessing the same and in making such repairs and
alterations as may be necessary; and second to the payment of rents due
hereunder. The Tenant shall remain liable for such rents as may be in arrears
and also the rents as may accrue subsequent to the re-entry by the landlord, to
the extent of the difference between the rents reserved hereunder and the rents,
if any, received by the Landlord during the remainder of the unexpired term
hereof, after deducting the aforementioned expenses, fees and costs; the same to
be paid as such deficiencies arise and are ascertained by Landlord. Said
deficiencies will be increased by the Premium Rate retroactive to the date of
re-entry by Landlord.
16.2 If the Tenant defaults in the performance of any conditions or
covenants in this lease contained, or should the Tenant be adjudicated a
bankrupt, insolvent or placed in receivership, or should proceedings be
instituted by or against the Tenant for bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership,
agreement of composition or assignment for the benefit of creditors, or if this
lease, or the estate of the Tenant hereunder shall pass to another by virtue of
any court proceedings, writ of execution, levy, sale or by operation of law,
then in either of such events, unless they shall be cured within thirty (30)
days' after receipt of written notice from Landlord or his agent, of such
termination. This lease and the term hereof shall end on the date fixed in such
notice as if the said date was the date originally fixed in this lease for the
expiration hereof. Notwithstanding the termination, the landlord may still
enforce its rights reserved pursuant to Article 16.1.
16.3 Anything in Articles 16.1 and 16.2 above to the contrary
notwithstanding, any default by Tenant in the payment of rent or any other
monetary obligation shall be cause for termination if the same is not paid
promptly as required by the terms and conditions of the lease. Any other default
in the lease shall be cause for termination if the same is not cured within
thirty (30) days after written notice given in the same manner as provided in
Article 16.2 above.
17. INSPECTION BY LANDLORD
The Tenant agrees that the said Landlord's agents, and other
representatives, shall have the right to enter into and upon the leased
premises, or any part thereof, at all reasonable hours without unduly disturbing
the operations of the Tenant for the purpose of examining the same or for making
such repairs or alterations therein as may be necessary for the safety and
preservation thereof.
16
18. NOTICES
All notices required or permitted to be given to the Landlord
shall be given by certified mail, return receipt requested, addressed to the
Landlord at the address set forth at the head of this agreement or such other
place as the Landlord shall designate in writing. All notices required or
permitted to be given to the Tenant shall be given by certified mail, return
receipt requested, addressed to the Tenant at the leased premises, or such other
place as the Tenant shall designate in writing.
19. NON-WAIVER
The failure of the landlord to insist upon strict performance
of any of the covenants or conditions of this lease or to exercise any option
herein conferred in any one or more instances, shall not be construed as a
waiver or relinquishment of any such covenants, conditions or options, but the
same shall be and remain in full force and effect. If the landlord pursues any
remedy granted by the terms of this lease or their terms of applicable law, it
shall not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment of any other remedy
afforded thereby.
20. ALTERATIONS OR IMPROVEMENTS BY TENANT
20.1 Tenant shall not do any painting or decorating, or erect any
partitions or make any alterations or improvements in the leased premises, or do
any nailing or boring into the ceilings, walls, or floors, without the prior
written consent of landlord. Tenant shall furnish to Landlord a plan and/or
specifications with respect to Tenant's proposed work in connection with any
request for Landlord's consent to permit the work to be performed by Tenant as
hereinabove referred to. Unless objected to by Landlord in writing, such work
may be performed by Tenant or under the direction of Tenant, at its cost and
expense. Nothing herein contained shall be construed to permit Tenant at any
time to make any structural modifications to the leased premises or any
alterations or modifications to the leased premises or any alterations or
modifications to existing Building systems serving the leased premises. Tenant
hereby agrees that all permitted alterations and improvements made in, to or on
the leased premises shall unless otherwise provided by written agreement, be the
property of Landlord and shall remain upon and be surrendered with the leased
premises. At Landlord's request all such alterations and improvements shall be
restored to their original condition at Tenant's expense at the termination of
this lease.
20.2 Nothing herein contained shall be construed as a consent on
the part of the landlord to subject the estate of the Landlord to liability
under the Mechanic's Lien Law of the State of New Jersey, it being expressly
understood that the Landlord's estate shall not be subject to such liability.
Tenant agrees that it will cause the removal of such mechanic's liens occasioned
by it within five (5) days after notice given by landlord to Tenant of the
existence of same. Tenant's failure to cause such removal shall be deemed a
default pursuant to the terms and conditions of the within lease, permitting
landlord to exercise its right of termination at the expiration of the five (5)
day period hereinabove referred to. In addition, Tenant shall
17
indemnify Landlord from any liability, loss or damage occasioned by failure of
Tenant to cause such mechanic's lien to be discharged.
21. NON-LIABILITY OF LANDLORD
21.1 It is understood and agreed that landlord, in its capacity as
landlord and, if applicable, as builder or general contractor of the Building
shall not be liable to Tenant, Tenant's agents, employees, contractors, invites
or any other occupant of the leased premises for any damage to property or for
any inconvenience or annoyance to Tenant or any other occupant of the leased
premises or interruption of Tenant's or such other occupant's business, arising
out of or attributable to (1) the design and construction of the leased premises
and the Building; (ii) any maintenance, repairs, replacements, additions,
alterations, substitutions and installations made to the leased premises and the
Building; (iii) the failure of Landlord to perform Landlord's lease obligations;
and (iv) any cause of happening whatsoever, including negligence by Landlord and
Landlord's agents, servants and employees with respect to any of the events or
occurrence referred to in subdivision (i) through (iii), or otherwise. The
foregoing covenant is an express inducement to landlord to enter into the within
lease and the Tenant acknowledge that it understands the scope and consequence
of Landlord's exculpation as herein provided.
21.2 Anything hereinabove contained to the contrary
notwithstanding, Tenant in all events shall assume all risk of damage or loss to
its property, equipment and fixtures occurring in or about the leased premises,
whatever the cause of such damage or loss, including Landlord's negligence.
22. CONDEMNATION
If the whole or part of the leased premise shall be acquired
by Eminent Domain for any public or quasi public use or purpose so that the
leased premises cannot be used for its intended leased purposes, or if the
parking areas shall be taken by Eminent Domain and the Landlord shall not
substantially replace such parking areas so as to provide the parking spaces for
Tenant required pursuant to Article 1.3, then and in either such event, the term
of this lease shall cease and terminate from the date that possession of the
leased premises is taken by the condemning authority in the Eminent Domain
proceeding, or as the result of the delivery of a deed in lieu of condemnation.
The Tenant shall have no claim against the Landlord for the value of any
unexpired term of said lease. No part of any award made to the landlord shall
belong to the Tenant, nor shall the Tenant make any claim against the condemning
authority for the value of its leasehold. Anything hereinabove contained to the
contrary notwithstanding, it is expressly understood and agreed that without
affecting Landlord's award as hereinabove referred to, the Tenant may make such
independent claim as the law may allow with respect to Tenant's leasehold
improvements, if any, trade fixtures and equipment.
23. INCREASE OF INSURANCE RATES
If the rate which the Landlord must pay to secure fire
insurance shall be increased because of any change in occupancy or use of the
leased premises by the Tenant, or
18
because of the Tenant's non-compliance with the rules, regulations or requests
of the fire insurance carrier, then such increase shall be paid by the Tenant to
the Landlord as Additional Rent.
24. TENANT'S FIRE INSURANCE
The tenant, at its own cost and expense, shall insure its own
fixtures, equipment and contents, it being expressly understood and agreed that
the same is not the responsibility of the Landlord nor shall it be liable
therefor.
25. INDEMNITY
Anything in this lease to the contrary notwithstanding, and
without limiting the Tenant's obligation to provide insurance pursuant to
Article 9 hereunder, the Tenant covenants and agrees that it will indemnify,
defend and save harmless the Landlord against and from all liabilities,
obligations, damages, penalties, claims, costs, charges and expenses, including
without limitation reasonable attorneys' fees, which may be imposed upon or
incurred by landlord by reason of any of the following occurring during the term
of this lease:
(i) Any matter, cause or thing arising out of use, occupancy,
control or management of the leased premises and any part thereof;
(ii) Any negligence on the part of the Tenant or any of
its agents, contractors, servants, employees, licensees or invites;
(iii) any accident, injury, damage to any person or property
occurring in, or about the leased premises;
(iv) Any failure on the part of Tenant to perform or comply
with any of the covenants, agreements, terms or conditions contained in this
lease on its part to be performed or complied with. Landlord shall promptly
notify Tenant of any such claim asserted against it and shall promptly send to
Tenant copies of all papers or legal process served upon it in connection with
any action or proceeding brought against Landlord by reason of any such claim.
26. FORCE MAJEURE
Except for the obligation of the Tenant to pay rent and other
charges as in this lease provided, the period of time during which the Landlord
or Tenant is prevented from performing any other act required to be performed
under this lease by reason of fire, catastrophe, strikes, lockouts, civil
commotion, acts of God or the public enemy, government prohibitions or
preemptions, embargoes, inability to obtain material or labor by reason of
governmental regulations or prohibitions, the act or default of the other party,
or other events beyond the reasonable control of landlord or Tenant, as the case
may be, shall be added to the time for performance of such act.
19
27. MORTGAGE PRIORITY
This lease and the estate, interest and rights hereby created
are subordinate to any mortgage now or hereafter placed upon the Property, the
Building or any estate or interest therein, including, without limitation, any
mortgage on any leasehold estate, and to all renewals, modifications,
consolidations, replacements and extensions of same as well as any substitutions
therefor. Tenant agrees that in the event any person, firm, corporation or other
entity acquires the right to possession of the property and the Building,
including any mortgagee or holder of any estate or interest having priority over
this lease, Tenant shall, if requested by such person, firm, corporation or
other entity, attorn to and become the tenant of such person, firm, corporation
or other entity, upon the same terms and conditions as are set forth herein for
the balance of the lease term. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any mortgagee may,
at any time, subordinate its mortgage to this lease, without Tenant's consent,
by notice in writing to Tenant, and thereupon this lease shall be deemed prior
to such mortgage without regard to their respective dates of execution and
delivery, and in that event, such mortgagee shall have the same rights with
respect to this lease as though it had been executed prior to the execution and
delivery of the mortgage. Tenant, if requested by Landlord, shall execute any
such instruments in recordable form as may be reasonable required by landlord in
order to confirm or effect the subordination of this lease and the attornment of
Tenant to future landlords or mortgagees in accordance with the terms of this
lease.
28. SURRENDER OF PREMISES
On the last day, or earlier permitted termination of the lease
term, Tenant shall quit and surrender the leased premises in good and orderly
condition and repair (reasonable wear and tear, and damage by fire or other
casualty excepted) and shall deliver and surrender the leased premises to the
Landlord peaceably, together with all alterations, additions and improvements
in, to or on the leased premises made by Tenant as permitted under the lease.
The Landlord reserves the right, however, to require the Tenant at its cost and
expense to remove any alterations or improvements installed by the Tenant and
not permitted or consented to by the Landlord pursuant to the terms and
conditions of the lease, which covenant shall survive the surrender and the
delivery of the leased premises as provided hereunder. Prior to the expiration
of the lease term the Tenant shall remove all of its property, fixtures,
equipment and trade fixtures from the leased premises. All property not removed
by tenant shall be deemed abandoned by Tenant, and Landlord reserves the right
to charge the reasonable cost of such removal to the Tenant, which obligation
shall survive the lease termination and surrender hereinabove provided. If the
leased premises be not surrendered to the end of the lease term,, Tenant shall
indemnify Landlord against loss or liability resulting from delay by Tenant in
surrendering the leased premises, including, without limitation any claims made
by any succeeding tenant founded on the delay. In addition thereto, Tenant shall
pay to Landlord a sum equal to two times the then economic market rent and
Additional Rent for each day of holdover, or such then existing statutory
penalty as may be imposed in accordance with Statutory Law of the State of new
Jersey, whichever is greater. The foregoing covenant shall not be deemed as a
consent by Landlord to any such holdover nor shall it be construed to constitute
consent to the creation of a tenancy or to permitted use and occupancy by
Tenant.
20
29. SIGNS
The Tenant shall only be permitted to install signage at the
leased premises in accordance with Building standard, and at such designated
locations as Landlord shall direct. The Tenant shall not have the right to put
any identifying signs on the exterior of the Building or roof thereof.
30. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE
Tenant agrees, from time to time as may be requested by
Landlord, to execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord all or any of the
following: an estoppel letter certifying to such party as Landlord reasonably
may designate, including any mortgagee, that this lease is in full force and
effect and has not been amended, modified or superceded, that Landlord has
satisfactorily completed all construction work required by this lease (subject
to completion of punchlist items), that Tenant has accepted the leased premises
and is now in possession thereof, that Tenant has no defense offsets or
counterclaims hereunder or otherwise against Landlord with respect to this lease
or the leased premises and Landlord is not in default hereunder (or if any of
the foregoing not be the case, specifying in reasonable detail the extent and
nature thereof, that Tenant has no knowledge of any pledge or assignment of this
lease or rentals hereunder, that rent is accruing under this lease but has not
been paid more than one month in advance and the date to which rent has been
paid; and any other instrument as may be reasonably requested to be executed by
Tenant by any mortgagee of the Property or Building or any interest therein, so
long as the rights of Tenant as provided for by this lease are not materially
affected by any much other instrument. Tenant's estoppel letter shall be in the
form as Landlord or its mortgagee shall hereafter prescribe.
31. TRANSFER BY LANDLORD
The term "Landlord" as used in this lease means only the
owner, or the mortgagee in possession, for the time being of the Building or
Property (or the owner of a lease of the Building or of the Property) so that in
the event of any transfer of title or to lease of said Building or Property, the
said Landlord shall be and hereby is entirely freed and relieved of all
covenants and obligations of Landlord hereunder thereafter accruing, and it
shall be deemed and construed as a covenant running with the land without
further agreement between the Landlord and Tenant or their successors in
interest, or between the Landlord and Tenant and the transferee of title to or
lessee of the Building or property, that the transferee or the lessee has
assumed and agreed to carry out any and all covenants and obligations of
Landlord hereunder.
32. LIMIT OF LANDLORD'S LIABILITY
In case the Landlord shall be a joint venture, partnership,
tenancy in common, association or other form of joint ownership, the individual
members or entities thereof shall have absolutely no personal liability or
obligation with respect to any provision of this lease, or any obligation or
liability arising therefrom or in connection therewith, which covenant
21
hereinabove referred to, shall be deemed effective as of the date Landlord
completes and delivers the leased premises in accordance with the terms and
conditions of the lease and the plans and specifications herein provided, and
any liability or obligation of Landlord shall be satisfied out of Landlord's
equity in the Property.
33. LANDLORD'S RIGHT OF ENTRY AND ALTERATIONS
Landlord, or its agents, shall have the right at any time,
upon reasonable notice (except in the event of emergency), to enter upon the
leased premises to examine the same, to clean windows, or to make such repairs,
alterations or improvements as Landlord may deem necessary or proper, and during
such operations, may close entrances, doors, corridors, elevators and other
facilities, all without any liability to Tenant by reason of interference,
inconvenience or annoyance; provided, however, that such work shall not
materially reduce area of the leased premises; but if the leased premises are
reduced in any amount, the rent paid by Tenant shall be proportionately reduced,
and further provided, that such work will be done in such a manner as to cause
the least possible interference, inconvenience and annoyance to Tenant. However,
this Article shall not be deemed as imposing any duty of Landlord to undertake
any of the acts specified herein.
34. LANDLORD'S REMEDIES AND EXPENSES
34.1 All rights and remedies of Landlord herein enumerated shall be
cumulative, and none shall exclude any other right or remedy allowed by law. For
the purposes of any suit brought or based hereon, this lease shall be construed
to be a divisible contract, to the end that successive actions may be maintained
on this lease on successive periodic sums which mature hereunder.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord agrees that all cognizable claims shall
be filed in one action.
34.2 Tenant shall pay, upon demand, all of the Landlord's
reasonable costs, charges and expenses, including the reasonable fees of
counsel, agents and others retained by Landlord, incurred in enforcing Tenant's

use and occupancy of the leased premises shall not be materially inconvenienced
by any such action of Landlord. Landlord may enter upon the leased premises and
may exercise any or all of the foregoing rights hereby reserved without being
deemed guilty of an eviction or disturbance of Tenant's use or possession and
without being liable in any manner to tenant. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Landlord agrees that it shall arrange said visitation only by appointment with
Tenant.
36. RULES AND REGULATIONS
Tenant, it employees, agents, servants, licensees and visitors
agree to comply with the rules and regulations with respect to the leased
premises and Building (hereinafter called the "Rules") as the same shall be

37. WAIVERS
No delay or forbearance by Landlord in exercising any right or
remedy hereunder or undertaking or performing any act or matter which is not
expressly required to be undertaken by Landlord shall be construed,
respectively, to be a waiver of Landlord's rights or to represent any agreement
by Landlord to undertake or perform such act or matter thereafter.
38. WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY
It is mutually agreed by and between Landlord and Tenant that
the respective parties hereto shall and they hereby do waive trial by jury in
any action, proceeding or counterclaim brought by either of the parties against
the other on any matter whatsoever arising out of or in any way connected with
this lease, the relationship of Landlord and Tenant, Tenant's use of or
occupancy of the leased premises and/or any claim of injury or damage and any
emergency or any other statutory remedy. It is further mutually agreed that in
the event Landlord commences any summary proceeding for non-payment of Annual
Basic Rent, Tenant will not interpose any counterclaim of whatever nature or
description in any such proceeding.
39. SEVERABILITY
Each covenant and agreement in this lease shall for all
purposes be construed to be a separate and independent covenant or agreement. If
any provision in this lease or the
23
application thereof shall to any extent be invalid, illegal or unenforceable,
the remainder of this lease, and the application of such provision, other than
as invalid, illegal or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby; and such
provisions in this lease shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent
