(Landlord represents to Tenant that Landlord knows of no such assessment). The basis of such proration with reference to local improvement installed and any assessment by a governmental agency shall be the period during the term of this lease that the property is or is likely to be benefited as measured against the life of the benefit, not the date when payments are due, e.g., if the assessment for local improvement were for a sidewalk having a useful life of forty (40) years and the remainder of the term of the lease were four (4) years, the Tenant would be responsible for ten (10%) percent of the assessment.

(b) It is the intention of the parties hereto that during the term of this lease the Tenant shall, at its own cost and expense, bear, pay and discharge, before any fine, penalty, interest or cost may be added for the nonpayment thereof, all taxes, water, rent, sewer charges, and license and permit fees, (herein called “Impositions”), provided the Landlord furnishes Tenant at least 30 days before due, with the xxxx covering such Imposition or if there is no xxxx, then notice of such Imposition, together with any interest or penalties lawfully imposed upon the late payment thereof if imposed because of Tenant’s failure to make timely payment within the

time period herein specified, which pursuant to the present or future law or otherwise, during the term hereby granted and any renewal term hereof, shall be levied, charged, or become due and payable out of or for, or become a lien on the premises or any portion thereof, the Building and any building and improvements hereafter erected upon the Leased Premises by the Tenant, the appurtenances thereto, the sidewalks or streets, adjacent thereto, any use or occupancy of the land, and such franchises as may be appurtenant to the use and occupation of the Leased Premises EXCEPT income taxes assessed against the Landlord, capital levy, estate, succession, inheritance, or transfer taxes payable by the Landlord, corporate franchises, capital stock, loans and bonus taxes imposed upon any owner of the fee of the Leased Premises, and any income, profits or revenue tax, assessment or charge imposed upon rent as such payable by the Tenant under this lease and any renewal thereof or any tax or charge in replacement or substitution of the foregoing or of a similar character. If at any time during the term of the lease or of any renewal hereof, the present method of taxation shall be changed so that the whole or any part of the real estate taxes, sewer and water charges shall be levied and imposed wholly or partially as a capital levy or otherwise on the rents received from said real estate or the rents reserved herein or in any renewal hereof or any part of either, or shall be measured by or based in whole or in part, upon the Building and improvements now or hereafter erected and maintained upon the Leased Premises, as the sole asset of the Landlord, and shall be imposed upon the Landlord, the Tenant shall pay the same, as the same respectively comes due together with any interest or penalties lawfully imposed upon the late payment thereof if imposed because of Tenant’s failure to make timely payment within the time periods herein specified.

The Tenant, upon the Landlord’s request, shall furnish to the Landlord and to each holder of the mortgage on the Leased Premises before the date when any tax, water and sewer rent and charges would become delinquent, receipts or other proof reasonably satisfactory to the Landlord or such mortgagee, as the case may be, evidencing the payment of such Imposition.

Unless the Tenant notifies the Landlord in writing that the Tenant intends within a reasonable time to proceed as in subpararaph (c) hereof provided, and if the Tenant shall fail for thirty (30) days after written notice and demand given to the Tenant by Landlord, to pay any Imposition within the time permitted by law for the payment thereof without interest or penalty, the Landlord may pay the same with all interest and penalties lawfully imposed upon the late payment thereof, and the amount so paid by the Landlord with interest thereon [commencing the later of (1) the date of Landlord’s payment or (ii) thirty (30) days after such notice] at the rate of prime plus two (2%) percent per annum from the date of payment by the Landlord, shall thereupon be and become immediately due and payable to the Landlord by the Tenant as additional rent. The basis for proration of the Tenant’s obligations under this subsection 7(b) shall be the period during the term of this lease that the property is or is likely to be benefited as measured against the life of the benefit. [See example in Article 7(a)].

(c) In the event the Tenant wishes to contest any assessment or levy or Impositions on the Leased Premises, the Landlord covenants and agrees that it will lend its name and execute all papers necessary to aid the Tenant in contesting or litigating said assessment or levy provided, however, that said litigation or contest shall be at the cost and expense of the

Tenant, and that the Tenant shall indemnify the Landlord from any fines or penalties, which may be occasioned as a result of any such contest, and Tenant shall be entitled to any refunds from the taxing authorities.

(d) Landlord shall have the option, upon thirty (30) days written notice to Tenant, to require the Tenant to pay the real estate taxes in monthly installments in advance.

8. Insurance

(a) The Landlord shall carry for the joint benefit of the Landlord and the Tenant fire insurance, general public liability insurance, rent insurance and flood insurance in an amount equal to the replacement value of the Building and not less than the requirements of the mortgagee holding the mortgage on said premises at the time of completion, the value of the Building will be approximately $20,000,000.00. Tenant shall pay to Landlord on an annual basis, in advance, the cost of said insurance. Tenant shall pay said annual cost for the insurance every year during the term of the Lease and Landlord shall provide Tenant each year with copies of the binder and xxxx.

(b) In addition, Tenant, at its expense, shall maintain public liability insurance, casualty and extended coverage insurance of Tenant’s improvements, contents and personal property at the Leased Premises for replacement value thereof.

(c) No insurance to be provided by the Tenant pursuant to this Lease shall be required to be in effect prior to the commencement of the term hereof.

9. Signs

The Tenant shall have the right to erect and maintain one (1) or more ground signs on the Premises, provided same complies with all regulations of applicable governmental agencies having jurisdiction thereof, and provided the installation has received prior written approval of the Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, that the erection of such sign or signs will not result in material damage to the leased premises upon removal. In addition, Landlord consents to the Tenant mounting a sign on the Building provided no penetrations are made in the brick on the Building. All signs shall be the property of Tenant and removed by the Tenant at the termination of this Lease without damage to the Premises.

10. Fixtures

Tenant is given the right and privilege of installing and removing property, equipment and fixtures in the Leased Premises during the term of the Lease, it being understood and agreed, however, that in the event of the termination or expiration of this Lease, if the Tenant fails to remove any such property, equipment, fixtures or other property as of the termination of the Lease, in that event and provided the Landlord has given Tenant at least ten (10) days’ notice of Landlord’s intent to said property as abandoned, the said property, equipment and fixtures shall

be deemed abandoned by Tenant and shall become the property of the Landlord, and Tenant shall be responsible for all costs incurred by the Landlord in removing said fixtures.

11. Assignment. Subletting and Recapture

Tenant may assign this lease in whole or in part or sublease all or part of the premises to any party, subject to the following:

(a) Tenant may, at any time and from time to time, during the term of this lease, give Landlord notice of Tenant’s intention to seek to sublease all or part of the premises or to assign this lease as to all or part of the premises. Such notice shall designate (i) if a partial subletting or assignment is contemplated, the specific part of the premises to be covered by such subletting or assignment; (ii) if a subletting is contemplated, the period of such subletting; and (iii) the name and address of the contemplated sublessee or assignee, if known. Such notice shall be accompanied by a copy of a letter of intent, if any, and by such other information as may be available in written or graphic form and describe the negotiations or discussions between the parties to the contemplated assignment or sublease. For a period of fifteen (15) days from the giving of such notice, Landlord shall have a recapture option, only if seventy five (75) percent or more of the premises is sought to be assigned or subleased, whereby, in effect Landlord may cancel this lease as to all or the part of the premises (as the case may be), for the remainder of the lease term or any extended term, with the basic rent thenceforth payable under this lease and the proportionate share used in computing additional rent thenceforth payable under this lease to be reduced so as to reflect the reduction of the area of the premises resulting from such recapture. Such recapture option shall be exercised by Landlord’s giving Tenant notice of such exercise prior to the expiration of such recapture option period. Upon exercise of such recapture option Landlord and Tenant shall execute and deliver such instruments as shall be necessary to effectuate the above recapture provisions, to provide that for the remainder of the lease term or any extended term Tenant be entirely relieved of any and all obligations accruing after the effective date of the recapture as to the portion of the premises recaptured. Landlord and Tenant shall, at the request of either party, execute a memorandum in recordable form to memorialize said recapture. At the expiration of the period of time covered by the recapture the portion of the premises recaptured shall revert back to Tenant and this lease shall continue in full force and effect as if the recapture had not occurred. During the period of such recapture, alterations to the recaptured space shall be subject to Tenant’s consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The recaptured space, including leasehold improvements thereto, which are not the property of the occupant of such space during the recapture period, shall, at the time said space reverts to Tenant, be in the same condition, subject to reasonable wear, tear and damage by fire, the elements, casualty, or other cause not due to the neglect of Landlord, such occupant or their agents, visitors, servants or licensees, as existing at the commencement of the recapture period.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Landlord elects to recapture the entire Leased Premises in response to due notice from the Tenant, the Tenant shall be relieved of any further obligation under this lease for the balance of the term, regardless of the fact that the term

of the lease, by the Tenant, was less than the full term of the lease, (e.g., after the end of the first lease year Tenant gives Landlord notice of the proposed sublease of the entire premises for two (2) years, and the Landlord elects to recapture, the Tenant shall have no further obligation to perform under any of the terms and conditions of the lease). If Landlord recaptures, Tenant shall be reimbursed for cost of its improvements on a pro rata basis. All prepaid rents and security deposits shall be promptly returned to Tenant.

(b) In the event that the Landlord has, but fails to exercise, the recapture option as described in Paragraph (a) of this Article, the Tenant may proceed in accordance with the notice of intention given by Tenant, to assign this lease or sublet the whole or any portion of the premises, subject to the Landlord’s prior written consent, which consent will be granted or denied within ten (10) days, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed on the basis of the following terms and conditions:

(i) Tenant shall furnish Landlord a copy of the proposed instrument of such sublease or assignment;

(ii) The assignee shall assume, by written instrument, the obligations of this lease, (but only to the extent they pertain to the space covered by the assignment if less than the entire premises) for the period from and after the date of such assignment and a copy of such assumption agreement shall be furnished to the Landlord within ten (10) days of its execution;

(iii) The Tenant and each assignee shall be and remain liable for the observance of all the covenants and provisions of this lease, (but only to the extent they pertain to the space covered by the assignment if less than the entire premises) including, but not limited to, the payment of basic and additional rent reserved herein, thereafter through the entire unexpired term of this lease;

(c) Landlord’s consent shall not be required with respect to an assignment or transfer of this lease, or a subletting to any affiliate of the Tenant, or any firm, corporation or other organization which shall succeed to substantially all of Tenant’s business, or to any affiliate, provided that such successor firm, corporation or other organization executes an agreement assuming all of the terms, provisions and covenants of this lease on Tenant’s part to be performed and within twenty (20) business days after the execution and delivery of such an assignment, a true copy of the assignment and assumption agreement, together with a statement of the assets and net worth of the assignee are delivered to the Landlord.

12. Damage and Destruction

(a) If all or any part of the Leased Premises is damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty, Landlord shall commence promptly, subject to the approval of governmental agencies having jurisdiction, and with reasonable dispatch continue to restore same to substantially the same condition as existed immediately preceding the damage or destruction. If

the cost of the casualty is $100,000 or less, then Landlord shall restore the Premise at his sole cost and expense and then await the insurance proceeds.

(b) The loss, if any, under policies pursuant to this lease shall be adjusted with the insurers by the Landlord. The loss as adjusted shall be paid to the Landlord to rebuild the property.

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

(d) Any repair, replacement, restoration or rebuilding required to be made under this paragraph involving an estimated cost of $100,000.00 or more, as estimated by a reputable architect selected by the Landlord and approved by Tenant shall be made under the supervision of such architect and shall not be undertaken until detailed plans and specifications of such work shall have been filed with and approved by the Tenant. The Tenant shall not unreasonably withhold or delay its approval to the plans and specifications submitted to, and if Tenant fails to respond by either approving or stating its reasons for not approving within fifteen (15) business days after delivery thereof to it, they shall be deemed approved by the Tenant. If the Tenant disapproves of such plans and specifications within such period of time, such disapproval shall be in writing and shall specify the grounds therefore. Upon such disapproval, and if the parties cannot resolve their differences within twenty (20) days, the Landlord may submit to arbitration, in accordance with the provisions of this Lease, the determination of whether the Tenant has unreasonably withheld its approval. If the Tenant is held not to have unreasonably withheld its approval, the Landlord shall amend the plans and specifications to meet the problem specified as the grounds for Tenant’s disapproval and thereafter resubmit the plans and specifications, as so amended, to the Tenant for the Tenant’s approval.

(e) Any monies paid to the parties or to any escrowee of the parties or to the person hereafter described in this subparagraph, as the case may be, shall be paid as the work progresses against the certificates of the architect in charge of such repairs, replacement and restoration, or rebuilding showing that the amount stated in the particular certificate has been paid or is due in respect of such work, together with the names and addresses of the persons, if any, to whom such amounts are due. Until such repairs, replacement, restoration or rebuilding

shall have been fully completed, the total so paid over shall in no circumstances exceed eighty-five (85%) percent thereof.

(f) There shall be an abatement or pro-rata reduction of Fixed Rent and other sums payable by the Tenant hereunder immediately (and Landlord shall be entitled to collect the rent insurance) by reason of any damage or destruction to any building or equipment or any part thereof now or hereafter on the Leased Premises, or by reason of any repair, replacement, restoration or rebuilding, and the Tenant shall be entitled to terminate the Lease by reason thereof, in the event Landlord does not notify Tenant within thirty (30) days of the casualty that it intends to restore the premises, or if the premises are not fully restored within ninety (90) days of the casualty.

(g) In the event the insurance proceeds are insufficient to repair, replace, restore or rebuild the property and equipment on the Leased Premises, the Landlord shall be responsible for and shall promptly pay any deficiency therein.

(h) If the damage shall occur in the last two (2) years of the term and/or shall be so extensive that the Building is totally destroyed (the Building shall be deemed totally destroyed if the cost of restoration shall exceed fifty (50%) percent of the replacement value, exclusive of the cost of foundation and excavation) this lease and the term hereby granted shall at the option of either party cease and the rent shall be apportioned to the date of destruction. In the such event the insurance proceeds coveting Landlord’s interest shall be turned over to and belong to the Landlord, if the policy permits.

(i) If the Leased Premises is substantially damaged or destroyed by a casualty which is not covered by the insurance that Tenant is required to maintain pursuant to this lease and Landlord is not carrying additional insurance that would cover said casualty, either party shall have the right to terminate this lease by giving notice to the other party, which notice of termination shall be thirty (30) days after the date on which such notice of termination is given, and (i) upon the date specified in such notice, this lease and the term hereof shall cease and expire, and (ii) Fixed Rent or other sums paid by the Tenant for a period after such date of termination shall be refunded to Tenant upon demand, as well as the security deposit and prepaid rent paid hereunder.

13. Condemnation

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

The rental rate structure shall be 100% of the “Current Market Rental Rate” for comparable first class office buildings/warehouses in the Pertinent Market. Thereafter, for the remainder of the renewal term, there shall be a three (3) percent annual increase. For purposes of this Lease, the term “Current Market Rental Rate” shall mean a rate comprised of the prevailing base rental rate for tenants per square foot of rental area available in the Pertinent Market. Any such Rate shall take into account any market concessions such as tenant improvements, free rent, constructions allowance, rent abatement, moving allowance, etc. and comparable leases (on the bases of factors such as, but not limited to, size and location of space and commencement dated and term of lease), if any, recently executed for space in the Building and other office buildings/warehouses in the Pertinent Market which are comparable to the Building in reputation, quality, age, size, location and level and quality of services provided (the foregoing factors not being exclusive in identifying comparable buildings) and which are not for any reason (such as, without limitation, economic distress) market anomalies. For the purposes hereof, “Pertinent Market” shall mean within ten (10) miles of the location of the Premises. If Landlord and Tenant do not agree on the Current Market Rental Rate fifteen (15) months before the termination of the then existing term, each party shall appoint an arbitrator who shall be a licensed real estate broker of the State of New Jersey, who shall be active in commercial rentals in the Pertinent Market or an appraiser qualified as an M.A.I. having an office in New Jersey. Such appointment shall be made by each party within thirty (30) days after notice of the necessity of arbitration, and each party shall advise the other of their choice. On the failure of either party to appoint an arbitrator within ten

(10) days after notification of the appointment by the other party, the person appointed arbitrator may appoint an arbitrator to represent the party in default, which arbitrator shall not have served previously in a similar capacity for, or been otherwise employed by, the non-defaulting party. The two arbitrators appointed in either manner shall then proceed to make the determination of the Current Market Rental Rate for the renewal period and the mutual decision of the two arbitrators shall be binding on the parties. In the event of their inability to reach a result, they may select a third arbitrator, who shall not have served previously in a similar capacity for, or been employed by, either party. If the two arbitrators are unable to agree on a third arbitrator, a then sitting Judge of the Superior Court of New Jersey shall appoint the third arbitrator. The third arbitrator shall choose one of the two appraisals closest to market value and his determination shall be final and binding upon the parties. For this calculation, the building shall be a total of 301,827 square feet, consisting of 259,908 square feet on the first (1^st) floor and 41,919 square feet on the second (2^nd) floor.

35. Right of First Offer on Expansion Space

The expansion space shall be defined as the adjacent site to the south of the property known as Block 131.1, part of Lots 9, 9.01, and 9.02 which the Landlord is currently contemplating a proposed 187,000 square foot light industrial and distribution building, (“Expansion Space”).

During the Term of the Lease, including any Renewal Term (s), the Landlord hereby grants the Tenant the following rights with respect to the Expansion Space:

(a) At any time after the commencement of the Initial Term, the Landlord agrees to notify Tenant in writing when the Landlord is having active, continuous and ongoing negotiations with a prospect for the Expansion Space. Within seven (7) business days of Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s notice, Tenant shall notify Landlord of Tenant’s interest in proceeding to negotiate for the Expansion Space on a non-exclusive basis. The parties shall negotiate in good faith. The Landlord shall be free to continue negotiations with any prospect and Tenant simultaneously. In the event the Tenant fails to notify the Landlord of its interest in pursuing negotiations on the Expansion Space, the Landlord shall be free to negotiate with the prospect without any further obligation to Tenant. The Landlord’s obligation to notify Tenant shall be continuous until the property is developed.

(b) At any time after two (2) years from the commencement of the Initial Term, if the Expansion Space becomes available, as an initial development of vacant office/warehouse space, the Landlord shall give written notice to the Tenant of such availability and for a period of thirty (30) days, the parties shall exclusively negotiate in good faith for the Tenant to occupy the Expansion Space.

(c) All notices hereunder shall be sent via certified mail, return receipt requested and addressed as required under the Lease. Notices shall be deemed received on the actual receipt of such notice.

36. Right of First Offer to Purchase

Tenant shall be granted a right of first offer to negotiate for the purchase of the Building. Landlord agrees to provide Tenant with written notice of the availability of the Building for sale and offer the Building in its entirety to Tenant on such terms and conditions as Landlord would offer to third parties, as determined by Landlord in its sole and absolute discretion, prior to marketing said space to third parties. Tenant shall have sixty (60) days from the date of Landlord’s Notice to respond in writing to the same. If Landlord has not received a written response by the end of said sixty (60) day period or if Tenant declines to accept Landlord’s offer or makes a counteroffer which Landlord shall reject, in writing, as unacceptable in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion, Landlord shall thereafter be free to market the Building and sell the Building for not less than the counter-offer submitted by Tenant If Landlord and Tenant agree on terms for the sale of the Building, but are subsequently unable, in good faith, to consummate an agreement with respect thereto acceptable to both Landlord and Tenant, Landlord shall thereafter be free to market the Building and sell the Building on such terms and conditions as landlord shall determine, in its sole and absolute discretion, without any further obligation to offer said Building again to Tenant.

37. Statement of Competitors

Landlord agrees that it will not lease space in the Expansion Space to or maintain any sign for any competitor of Tenant’s Business Recovery Services Division, including but not limited to IBM, GE Capital, IBM Business Recovery Services or Sunguard Business Recovery Services without Tenant’s prior written consent. For so long as this Lease, including any Renewal or Expansion hereof, as provided in Sections 34 and 35, respectively, is in full force and effect, Landlord agrees not to sell the Building to a competitor of Tenant, including but not limited to IBM, GE Capital, IBM Business Recovery Services and Sungard Business Recovery Services.

38. Electrical Substation

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