1. ADDITIONAL RENT. As additional rent, Tenant to pay pro rata share (07.00%) of increases
over the Base Year (2008) of real estate and related taxes, and the aggregate cost of
maintaining and operating the Building and its common areas.
Costs of operating and maintaining the Building will include by way of example rather than
limitation, costs of snow and ice removal; maintenance of elevator and elevator equipment if
applicable, and parking lot and lighting equipment; cleaning and trash removal; repair and
maintenance of storm and sewer system; electricity used in common areas, where applicable;
repainting and maintenance of signs and light standards; exterior painting, landscaping, materials
and services; management fees; and, insurance (general liability, loss of rent, fire and additional
hazard insurance, and other insurance as Landlord deems necessary) which benefit all tenants in the
Building. Notwithstanding the foregoing, costs of maintaining and operating the Building will
exclude capital improvements, leasing improvements, and tenant improvement work. The first billing
for any of these escalation costs will be presented for payment in early 2010 and will be
calculated by taking 2009 expenses in excess of the 2008 Base Year Expenses. Sums
billed under this paragraph will be due and payable by Tenant within 20 days after receipt of bills
from Landlord for the first occurring year, and are to be paid monthly (estimated amount) for
subsequent years. The building is approximately 95% occupied. To the best of Landlord’s knowledge
no significant tenant plans to vacate the Building in 2008.
In addition to the initial billing, Tenant will begin paying 1/12 of this amount toward the 2009
estimated escalation billing. This amount will then be adjusted annually based upon an actual
accounting of the completed year’s experience.
All sums or some or any of them, may become due by reason of the failure of Tenant to comply with
the terms and conditions of this Lease, and all damages, costs and expenses Landlord may suffer or
incur by reason of any default by Tenant, and any damages to the demised premises caused by any act
or omission of Tenant, will be payable within fifteen (15) days after receipt of bills from
Landlord.
2. LATE CHARGE. If the Minimum Rent or any Additional Rent is not paid within ten (10)
days from the date same is due, Landlord, at its option, may charge a late fee of five percent (5%)
of the amount due.
3. INSURANCE. Tenant will obtain and keep in effect throughout the Term, insurance policy
or policies, issued by any insurance carrier reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, providing general
comprehensive public liability insurance against claims for personal injury (including death) and
property damage in amounts as stated on Page 1 of this Lease. Said policy shall name Landlord as an
Additional Insured. Tenant must provide Landlord current evidence of insurance upon execution of
this Lease, and within fifteen (15) days of the expiration date of the then current policy.
4. WAIVER OF SUBROGATION. Each party hereto waives any cause of action it might have
against the other party on account of any loss or damage insured against under any insurance policy
including without limitation liability insurance policies (to the extent such loss or damage is
recoverable under such insurance policy) that covers the Building, the Leased Premises, Landlord’s
or Tenant’s fixtures, personal property, leasehold improvements or business, and which names
Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be, as a party insured. All insurance policies maintained by
Landlord or Tenant will, at such parties cost and expenses, if any, contain provisions, waiving the
carrier’s rights of recovery under subrogation or otherwise against the other party.
5. BUILDING SERVICES; MAINTENANCE.
(A) Landlord will provide, within professional standards on each item, the following services and
facilities:
(1) Cleaning and maintenance of common areas in the building;
(2) Water and sewer service;
(3) Janitorial service (five business days per week)
(4) Tenant has control of both HVAC units that service the Premises via thermostats
therein. Landlord is responsible for maintaining the HVAC units and thermostats.
Tenant may set the thermostat at a selected temperature. The temperature within the
Premises is presumed acceptable at no less than 68º and no more than 78º dependent
on the season and time of day.
(5) Landlord will undertake, at its sole cost and expense, any and all repairs
necessary to maintain the heating, plumbing, air conditioning and electrical
systems, as well as windows, floors (excluding carpeting) and all other structural
items which constitute a part of the Building and Leased Premises and are installed
or furnished by Landlord; provided, however, Landlord will not be obligated to
undertake any of such repairs until the expiration of a reasonable period of time
following notice from Tenant that such repair is needed, which, in no event shall be
longer than 10 calendar days except with respect to HVAC or water and sewer services
which shall be addressed within 24 hours, and Landlord will use best efforts to
resume service thereafter. In no event will Landlord be obligated under this
subparagraph to pay for the repair to correct any damage caused by any act,
omission or negligence of Tenant or its employees, agents, invitees, licensees,
subtenants, or contractors; however Landlord agrees to take responsibility for
appropriate repairs..
(B) | Landlord does not warrant the services and facilities provided for in subparagraph (A) above will be free from slowdown, interruption or stoppage pursuant to voluntary agreement by and between Landlord and governmental bodies and regulatory agencies, or caused by the maintenance, repair, substitution, renewal, replacement or improvements of any of the equipment, involved in the furnishing of any such services or facilities, or caused by changes of services, alterations, strikes, lockouts, labor controversies, fuel shortages, accidents, acts |
of God or the elements or any other cause beyond the reasonable control of Landlord; and specifically, no such slowdown, interruption or stoppage will cause any abatement of Rent or Additional Rent payable hereunder or in any manner or for any purpose relieves Tenant from any of its obligations hereunder, except if such slowdown or interruption extends beyond ten (10) consecutive business days, and in no event will Landlord be liable for damage to persons or property or be in default hereunder as a result of such slowdown, interruption or stoppage. Landlord agrees to use reasonable diligence to resume the affected service upon any cessation of such slowdowns, interruption or stoppage. |
(C) | Except to the extent Landlord is obligated to undertake repairs as provided hereinabove, Tenant will keep the Leased Premises and the fixtures contained therein in good, neat and orderly condition, reasonable wear and tear excepted. |
(D) | Landlord will 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 improvements to the Leased Premises or the Building or to any appurtenances or equipment therein. It being understood, though, Landlord will cooperate with Tenant and interfere as little as reasonably practicable with the conduct of Tenant’s business. There will be no abatement of Rent because of such repairs, alterations, additions or improvements, until after the completion of fourteen (14) business days from the original problem. |
6. ALTERATIONS AFTER COMMENCEMENT OF LEASE. Tenant will not make or permit to be made any
alterations, improvements or additions to the Leased Premises without, on each occasion, first
presenting to Landlord plans and specifications therefor and obtaining Landlord’s prior written
consent thereto, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. If Landlord will consent to such
proposed alterations, improvements and additions, Tenant will make the proposed alterations,
improvements and additions at Tenant’s sole cost and expense; provided, however: (i) all such
alterations will be performed in a good and workmanlike manner, in accordance with all applicable
laws, ordinances, codes, rules and regulations, including but not limited to the ADA Code; (ii)
such alterations, improvements, and additions will not impair the structural integrity of the
Building or any other improvements or reduce the value of the Leased Premises; (iii) Tenant will
take or cause to be taken all steps as required or permitted by law in order to avoid the
impositions of any mechanic’s, laborer’s or materialman’s lien(s) upon the Leased Premises or
Building; and, (iv) the occupants of the Building and of any adjoining real estate owned by
Landlord will not be disturbed in any respect with their use and occupancy by reason thereof. All
alterations, improvements and additions to the Leased Premises which are constructed, installed or
otherwise made by Tenant will be the property of Tenant until the expiration or sooner termination
of this Lease, at which time all such alterations, improvements and additions will remain on the
Leased Premises and become the property of Landlord without payment therefor by Landlord, unless
prior to the termination of this Lease, Landlord will give notice to Tenant to remove the same; in
which event Tenant will remove such alterations, improvements and additions, and repair and restore
any damage to the Leased Premises caused by the installation and removal thereof.
7. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS; PERMITTED ACTIVITIES. Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, will
comply with all laws, ordinances and regulations of federal, state and local authorities and with
any direction of any public officer(s), which will impose any violation, order or duty upon Tenant
with respect to the Leased Premises or the use and occupancy thereof, including, but not limited
to, obtaining any and all licenses and permits required for the conduct of its business within the
terms and conditions of this Lease.
Tenant will not do or permit anything to be done in or about the Leased Premises nor bring or keep
anything therein which will in any way increase the existing rate of fire or other insurance policy
covering the Leased Premises or any part thereof. In the event of any such increase of an existing
rate of insurance, or cancellation of any insurance policy, Tenant will bear the full cost of said
increase upon presentation by Landlord.
8. LANDLORD’S RIGHT TO ENTRY. Landlord and persons authorized by Landlord may enter the
Leased Premises at all reasonable times for the purpose of making such inspections, repairs,
alterations to adjoining space, appraisals as Landlord may require or for other reasonable purposes
including, but not limited to, exhibiting Leased Premises to prospective purchasers, tenants and/or
mortgagees and enforcement of Landlord’s rights under Lease. Landlord will not be liable for
inconvenience to, or disturbance of Tenant by reason of any such entry. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Landlord will use reasonable efforts, during such entry to not unreasonably interfere
with Tenant’s use of the Leased Premises, and will provide Tenant with advance notice except in the
event of an emergency.
9. DAMAGE BY FIRE OR OTHER CASUALTY. In the event of any damage or loss to the Leased
Premises by reason of fire or other casualty, Tenant will give immediate notice thereof to
Landlord. If the Leased Premises are partially damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty,
Landlord will notify Tenant within thirty (30) days after the fire or casualty, whether or not the
Leased Premises can be restored within one hundred twenty (120) days from such notice. In the
Landlord’s sole judgment, if the Leased Premises can be restored within one hundred twenty (120)
days, Landlord will restore the same at Landlord’s expense and will use its best efforts to
complete restoration within said time period. In the event the damage cannot be restored within
one hundred twenty (120) days, either party, by written notice to the other within five (5) days
after receipt of such notice, to be effective thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice, may
terminate this Lease and all obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event
will Landlord be obligated to expend for any repairs or restoration an amount in excess of the
insurance proceeds recovered by Landlord on account of such damage or destruction.
In the event of repair or restoration as herein provided, Minimum Rent and Additional Rent will be abated equitably, in a manner proportionate with the degree in which Tenant’s use of the Leased Premises is impaired commencing the date of destruction and continuing during the period of restoration. Tenant will continue operation of its business in the Leased Premises during any such period to the extent commercially practicable and the obligation of Tenant hereunder to pay all other charges set forth herein will remain in full force and effect.

Tenant will continue operation of its business in the Leased Premises during any such period to the extent commercially practicable and the obligation of Tenant hereunder to pay all other charges set forth herein will remain in full force and effect. Tenant will not be entitled to actual or
consequential damages or other compensation or damages from Landlord for loss of use of the whole
or any part of the Leased Premises, or the Building which forms a part of the Leased Premises,
Tenant’s personal property or any inconvenience or annoyance occasioned by such damage or
reconstruction. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, if any such fire or other casualty
is as a result of the negligence or willful acts of Tenant, Tenant will not have the right to
terminate this Lease as aforesaid, and Tenant will, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, promptly
repair and restore the Leased Premises, and any portion of the Building so damaged as a result of
Tenant’s conduct.
10. INDEMNIFICATION. Tenant will defend, indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from and
against any and all loss, cost, liabilities, penalties, damages, expenses (including reasonable
attorneys’ fees) and judgments, which may be imposed upon, incurred by, or asserted against
Landlord by reason of any violation by Tenant of the provisions of this Lease, or any injury to
persons or property of any nature and however caused, arising out of the use, occupancy and control
of the Leased Premises at any time during the Term of this Lease or any extension thereof, unless
caused by the willful act or gross negligence of Landlord.
Landlord will defend, indemnify and hold Tenant harmless from and against any and all loss, cost,
liabilities, penalties, damages, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) and judgments,
which may be imposed upon, incurred by, or asserted against Tenant by reason of any violation by
Landlord of the provisions of this Lease, or any injury to persons or property of any nature and
however caused, arising out of the use, occupancy and control of the Leased Premises at any time
during the Term of this Lease or any extension thereof, unless caused by the willful act or gross
negligence of Tenant.
11. CONDEMNATION. If more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the floor area of the Leased
Premises is taken or condemned for a public or quasi-public use (a sale in lieu of condemnation to
be deemed a taking or condemnation for purposes of this Lease), this Lease will, at either party’s
option, upon written notice to the other within fifteen (15) days of the date of such taking or
condemnation, terminate as of the date the right of possession in the Leased Premises or portion
thereof terminates. The Minimum Rent and Additional Rent herein reserved will be apportioned and
paid in full by Tenant to Landlord to that date and all Minimum Rent and Additional Rent prepaid
for periods beyond that date will forthwith be repaid by Landlord to Tenant and neither party will
thereafter have any liability hereunder.
If less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the floor area of the Leased Premises is taken, or if
neither Landlord nor Tenant has elected to terminate this Lease pursuant to the above paragraph,
Minimum Rent and Additional Rent will be equitably reduced in proportion to the area of the Leased
Premises which has been take for the balance of the Term.
If all or part of the Leased Premises are taken or condemned, Landlord will be entitled to all
compensation awarded upon such condemnation or taking, and Tenant will have no claim thereto,
and
Tenant hereby expressly waives, relinquishes and releases to Landlord any claim for damages or
other compensation to which Tenant might otherwise be entitled because of any such taking or
limitation of the leasehold estate hereby created, and irrevocably assigns and transfers to
Landlord any right to compensation or damages to which Tenant may be entitled by reason of the
condemnation of all or a part of the Leased Premises, or the leasehold estate. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Tenant will have the right to make a claim for removal and moving expenses and business
dislocation damages which may be separately payable to tenants in general under New Jersey law,
provided such payment does not reduce the award otherwise payable to Landlord.
12. MECHANICS LIENS. Tenant will promptly pay all contractors and material men for work
ordered by Tenant or performed for Tenant’s account, so as to minimize the possibility of a lien
attaching to the Leased Premises. In the event of any such lien is created or filed, Tenant will
bond against or discharge the same within ten (10) days after written request by Landlord. Nothing
herein contained will be construed as a consent on the part of the Landlord to subject the fee or
the estate of Landlord to liability under the Mechanics Lien Law of New Jersey for work ordered
other than by Landlord, it being expressly understood that Landlord has not consented to any such
work and Landlord’s estate will not be subject to such liability.
13. LANDLORD’S RIGHT TO PERFORM TENANT’S COVENANTS. If Tenant will any time fail to pay
any charge or imposition or perform any other act on its part to be perf`ormed, then Landlord,
after ten (10) days’ written notice to Tenant and without waiving or releasing Tenant from any
obligations hereunder, may pay such charge or sum of money or make any other payment or perform any
other act on Tenant’s part to be made or performed, and may enter upon the Leased Premises for any
such purpose, and take all such action thereon as may be necessary therefor. All sums so paid by
Landlord and all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with the performance of any
such act, together with interest thereon at a rate which is one percent (1%) per annum higher than
“New York Prime” as announced from time to time in the Wall Street Journal or similar
publication, from the respective dates of Landlord’s making of each such payment or incurring of
each such cost and expense, will constitute Additional Rent payable by Tenant thereof or otherwise
as in the case of default in the payment of Minimum Rent or Additional Rent reserved in this Lease.
14. SUBORDINATION; RIGHTS OF MORTGAGEE. This Lease will be subject and subordinate at all
times to the lien of any mortgages and/or ground leases now or hereafter placed upon the Leased
Premises or Building which forms a part of the Leased Premises, without the necessity of any
further instrument or act on the part of Tenant to effectuate such subordination. Tenant agrees to
execute and deliver, upon demand, such further instrument or instruments evidencing such
subordination of this Lease to the lien of any such mortgage and/or ground lease and such further
instrument or instruments of attornment as will be desired by any mortgagee or proposed mortgagee
or by any other person.
15. TENANT’S CERTIFICATE. Tenant agrees at any time and from time-to-time, within five (5)
days after Landlord’s written request, to execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord a written
instrument in recordable form certifying the Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or
if there have been modifications, it is in full force and effect as modified and stating the
modifications); the dates to which Minimum Rent, Additional Rent, or other charges have been paid
in advance, if any; whether or not, to the best knowledge of the signer of such certificate,
Landlord is in default in the performance of any covenant, agreement or condition contained in the
Lease and, if so, specifying each such default of which the signer may have knowledge; and such
other information as Landlord may request. It is intended that any such certification and statement
delivered pursuant to this Paragraph 15 may be relied upon by any prospective purchaser or any
mortgagee of the Leased Premises or Building or any part thereof or interest thereon or any
assignee of Landlord’s interest in this Lease.
16. DEFAULT BY TENANT. Landlord will provide Tenant advance written notice in the event of
any default. Tenant will have ten (10) days to cure in the event of a monetary default, and thirty
(30) days to cure in the event of a non-monetary default. Any one or more of the following will
constitute a default by Tenant hereunder, if Tenant during the original Term of this Lease, or any
renewal or extension thereof:
(A) | Does not pay in full within ten (10) days after notice is given of all Minimum Rent, Additional Rent, expenses and charges under this Lease; or, |
(B) | Violates, fails to perform, or otherwise breaches any term, covenant or condition of this Lease and same is not cured after notice thereof; or, |
(C) | Permits leasehold estate or any property of Tenant to be exposed for sale or judgment or execution process by sheriff, marshal, or constable; or, |
(D) | Becomes insolvent, makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, is adjudicated, files a xxxx in equity, otherwise initiates proceedings for the appointment of a receiver of its assets, files a voluntary petition under the provisions of the United States Bankruptcy Court or under the insolvency laws of any state, which involuntary petition is not discharged within sixty (60) days of filing. In such instances, Landlord may immediately have the rights set forth in Section 17 below, without any further notice; or, |
(E) | Records or attempts to record this Lease in any office of public recording; or, | |
(F) | Assigns or sublets this Lease, except as permitted herein; or, | |
(G) | Fails to move into or take possession of the Leased Premises upon commencement of the Term and does not pay rent. |
17. REMEDIES OF LANDLORD. This Lease and term of the estate hereby granted are subject to
the conditional limitation that in the event of a default by Tenant, at the sole option of
Landlord, Landlord may in addition to all other rights and remedies available to it by law or
equity or by any other provision of this Lease, at any time pursue once or more often any or all of
the following remedies:
(A) | Acceleration of Rent: Minimum Rent for the entire balance of the Term hereof and any Additional Rent, expenses and charges payable under the Lease, together with all costs and |
expenses, will become immediately due and payable as if by the terms and provisions of this Lease said balance of Minimum Rent, Additional Rent and other expense and charges and every part thereof were on that date payable in advance; and, |
(B) | Termination: Whether or not Landlord has accelerated Minimum Rent and Additional Rent, this Lease and the Term hereby created will, at the sole option of Landlord and without waiver of any other rights of Landlord contained herein, terminate and become absolutely void without any right on the part of Tenant to save the forfeiture by payment of any sum due or by the performance of any provisions of this Lease. Tenant will thereupon quit and surrender possession of the Leased Premises to Landlord in the condition required herein and Tenant will remain liable to Landlord as herein required; and, |
(C) | Suit for Possession/Reletting of Leased Premises: In any case in which this Lease will have been terminated, or in any case in which Landlord will have elected to accelerate the Minimum Rent and/or Additional Rent and any portion of such sums will remain unpaid, Landlord may, without further notice, enter upon and repossess the Leased Premises, by due process of law, by summary proceedings, ejectment or otherwise, and may dispossess Tenant and remove Tenant and all other persons and property from the Leased Premises and may have, hold and enjoy the Leased Premises and rents and profits therefrom. Landlord may, in its own name, as agent for Tenant, if this Lease has not been terminated, or in its own behalf, if this Lease has been terminated, relet the Leased Premises, or any part thereof, for such term or terms (which may be greater or less than the period which would otherwise have constituted the balance of the Term) and on such terms (which may include concessions or free Minimum Rent) as Landlord in its sole discretion and good faith may determine. In with any such reletting, Landlord may cause the Leased Premises to be decorated, altered, divided, consolidated with other space or otherwise changed or prepared for reletting. No reletting will be deemed a surrender or acceptance of the Leased Premises. |
(D) | Measure of Damages: Tenant will, with respect to all periods of time up to and including the expiration of the Term (or what would have been the expiration date in the absence of default or breach) remain liable to Landlord as follows: |
(1) | In the event of termination of this Lease on account of Tenant’s default or breach, Tenant will remain liable to Landlord as agreed for liquidated damages (and not as a penalty) an amount equal to the Minimum Rent, Additional Rent and other charges payable under this Lease by Tenant as if this Lease were still in effect, less the net proceeds of any reletting actually collected, after deducting all costs incident thereto (including, without limitation, all repossession costs, brokerage and management commissions, operating and legal expenses and fees, alteration costs and expenses of preparation for reletting), and to the extent such liquidated damages will not have been recovered by Landlord by virtue of payment by Tenant of any accelerated Minimum Rent and/or Additional Rent (but without prejudice to the right of Landlord to demand and receive such Minimum Rent and/or Additional Rent), such liquidated damages will be payable to Landlord monthly upon presentation to Tenant of a xxxx for the amount due. |
(2) | In the event and so long as this Lease will not have been terminated after default or breach by Tenant, Minimum Rent, Additional Rent and all other charges payable under this Lease will be reduced by the net proceeds of any reletting by Landlord (after deducting all costs incident thereto as above set forth) and by any portion of the accelerated Minimum Rent, Additional Rent and other charges paid by Tenant to Landlord, and any amount due to Landlord will be payable monthly upon presentation to Tenant of a xxxx for the amount due. |
(E) | Responsibility to Relet: Landlord agrees to use best efforts to relet the Leased Premises and to mitigate any losses. However, Landlord will in no event be responsible or liable for any failure to relet the Leased Premises, or any part thereof, or for any failure to collect any Minimum Rent, Additional Rent or other sum due upon a reletting. |
(F) | Remedies Cumulative: All of the remedies herein given to Landlord and all rights and remedies given to Landlord by law and equity will be cumulative and concurrent. It is understood and agreed that termination of this Lease or the taking or recovering of the Leased Premises will not deprive Landlord of any of Landlord’s remedies or actions against Tenant for Minimum Rent and Additional Rent due at the time or which, under terms hereof, would in the future become due as if there had been no termination, nor will the bringing of any action for Minimum Rent, Additional Rent, or other charges, or breach of covenant, or resorting to any other remedy herein provided the recovery of Minimum Rent or Additional Rent be construed as a waiver of the right to obtain possession of the Leased Premises. |
18. DEFAULT BY LANDLORD. In the event of any failure by Landlord to perform any material
term, condition, covenant or obligation of this Lease, which failure is not cured within thirty
(30) days after Landlord receives written notice of such failure from Tenant (provided, however,
that if such failure is of such a nature that it cannot, using reasonable diligence, be cured with
said period, such failure shall not constitute a default of this Lease by Landlord if Landlord
diligently and continuously pursues the same to completion thereafter), Tenant, in addition to all
other rights and remedies to which Tenant may be entitled under this Lease, at law or in equity,
shall have the right to terminate this Lease, effective upon the delivery of notice thereof to
Landlord in which event Tenant shall have no further liabilities or obligations hereunder.
19. LIMITED LIABILITY OF LANDLORD. Tenant agrees the obligations of Landlord under and
with respect to this Lease do not constitute personal obligations of Landlord, or any of its
principals, and shall not create or involve any claim against, or personal liability on the part of
any of them, and Tenant shall look solely to Landlord’s interest in the Leased Premises for
satisfaction of any liability of Landlord in respect to this Lease.
20. SECURITY DEPOSIT. Tenant will pay Landlord a sum as indicated on the first page of
Lease as collateral security for payment of Minimum Rent and Additional Rent and for the faithful
performance by Tenant of all other terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease. The amount of
said deposit (less such portion thereof as Landlord will have retained to make good any default by
Tenant with respect to any of Tenant’s aforesaid obligations) will be repaid to Tenant, without,
interest, within sixty (60) days after Tenant provides landlord with written request to return said
Security Deposit and Landlord has inspected the Leased premises after Tenant has vacated same;
provided, however, Tenant will have made all such payments and performed all such terms, covenants
and conditions of this Lease. Upon any default by Tenant hereunder, all or part of said deposit
may, at any time and in Landlord’s sole discretion and without prejudice to any rights Landlord has
hereunder, be applied on account of such default, and thereafter Tenant will restore the resulting
deficiency in said deposit within ten (10) days notice of Landlord’s application. Tenant’s failure
to restore said deficiency will constitute a default hereunder. In the event of any sale or
transfer of Landlord’s interest in the Building, Landlord will have the right to transfer the
security deposit to the purchaser or transferee and upon such transfer Tenant will look only to the
new landlord for the return of the security deposit and Landlord will thereupon be released from
all liability for the return of the security deposit.
21. ASSIGNMENT OR SUBLEASE BY TENANT. Tenant will not assign this Lease or sublease all or
any part of the Leased Premises without Landlord’s prior written consent, excluding affiliates of
the Tenant, which will not be unreasonably withheld, it being understood and agreed however 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. One
half of any sum received by Tenant as a result of such subletting or assignment which exceeds the
total sums Tenant is obligated to pay Landlord under this Lease will be payable to Landlord as
additional rent. The consent by Landlord to sublet or assignment will not constitute consent to
any further sublease or assignment. Any sublessee or assignee must agree to be bound by all of the
terms and provisions of this Lease. In addition, any permitted assignment or subleasing will not
relieve Tenant from its liability under the terms and conditions of this Lease. Tenant will give
Landlord a copy of the sublease, both prior to, and upon execution thereof.
22. SUCCESSORS. All rights and liabilities herein given to or imposed upon the respective
parties will extend to and be binding upon their heirs, legal representatives, successors and
assigns, if permitted under Section 21, except as otherwise provided
23. WAIVER. Failure of 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
will not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment for the future of any such covenants,
conditions or options but the same will be and remain in full force and effect.
24. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Lease sets forth all terms, covenants and conditions between
Landlord and Tenant concerning the Leased Premises and there are no terms, covenants and
conditions, either oral or written, between the parties other than herein set forth. Except as
