WHEREAS, the Tenant has entered into a certain Sublease (the “Sublease”) with Sublandlord dated as of the date hereof with respect to the Premises, which Sublease expires on May 31, 2017 (the “Expiration Date”); and
WHEREAS, Sublandlord and Tenant have requested Owner’s consent to the Sublease and Owner has agreed to consent to the Sublease provided that the Sublease is subordinated to the lien of the Master Lease and Tenant agrees to recognize Owner as its landlord under the Sublease if the Master Lease is terminated prior to the expiration of the Sublease with an automatic increase in rent due under the Sublease; and
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and other valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, it is agreed as follows:
1. SUBORDINATION:
The Sublease, as the same may heretofore and hereafter be modified, amended or extended, and all rights and options of the Tenant thereunder, are and shall be subject, subordinate and inferior to the Lease. Tenant expressly agrees that it shall comply with and be bound by the terms of the Master Lease to the extent incorporated by reference in the Sublease, including, but not limited to, the provisions of Paragraph 21(f) of the Master Lease.
2. NON-DISTURBANCE:
Owner agrees that in the event of a default by Sublandlord under the Master Lease or a termination of the Master Lease prior to the scheduled expiration of the Master Lease, provided that Tenant is not then in default, beyond all applicable notice, grace and cure periods, in the payment of rent or in the performance of any of the other terms of the Sublease, (i) Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises will not be disturbed by Owner, (ii) Owner shall not name or join Tenant as a party defendant to any action to terminate the Master Lease by reason of a default thereunder by Sublandlord, unless Tenant is a necessary party thereto under law (and, in any event, such naming or joinder shall not terminate the Sublease), and (iii) the Sublease shall not be terminated in connection with, or by reason of, the termination of the Master Lease, but rather the Sublease shall continue in full force and effect as a direct lease between Owner, as landlord, and Tenant, as tenant, upon all the executory terms, covenants and conditions of the Sublease for the balance of the term thereof, subject, however, to the modifications specifically set forth in this Agreement.
3. ATTORNMENT:
Without limitation of any of the provisions of the Sublease, in the event that, by reason of any default on the part of the Sublandlord under the Master Lease, the Master Lease is terminated prior to its scheduled expiration (the date of such early termination, the “Attornment Date”), then, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the Sublease shall nevertheless continue in full force and effect and the Tenant shall attorn to Owner and shall recognize Owner as its landlord and Owner shall recognize Tenant as its tenant. Upon request of Owner, the Tenant shall execute and deliver to Owner a separate agreement of attornment. Nothing herein contained shall be construed, however, to obligate Owner to cure any default by the Sublandlord under the Sublease occurring prior to the Attornment Date, it being expressly agreed that under no circumstances shall Owner be obligated to remedy any such default. Nothing herein contained shall be construed, however, to obligate Tenant to cure any default by the Sublandlord under the Sublease or the Master Lease, it being expressly agreed that under no circumstances shall Tenant be obligated to remedy any such default.
4. MODIFICATIONS TO SUBLEASE AS OF ATTORNMENT DATE:
Owner and Tenant agree that as of the Attornment Date, the Sublease shall be automatically modified as follows, without any further agreements or confirmations required:

(h) Upon the date fixed for a purchase of the Premises pursuant to this Paragraph 13 which shall be a date mutually acceptable to Owner and Tenant which shall be no later than either sixty (60) days following acceptance of the Offer or the date specified in the Third Party Contract, if applicable, (the “Purchase Date”), Tenant shall pay to Owner, or to any Person to whom Owner directs payment, the ROFO Purchase Price and all other sums payable by Tenant under the Offer by wire transfer and Owner shall deliver to Tenant or its designee (i) a deed with covenant against grantor’s acts which describes the Premises being conveyed and conveys the title thereto as provided in Paragraph 13(f) above and (ii) such other instruments as shall be necessary to transfer the Premises to Tenant or its designee. If on the Purchase Date any monetary obligations remain outstanding under the Sublease, Tenant shall pay to Owner on the Purchase Date the amount of such monetary obligations. Upon the completion of such
7
purchase by Tenant or its designee, the Sublease and all obligations and liabilities of Tenant thereunder shall terminate, except any undischarged obligations of Tenant under the Sublease, actual or contingent, which arise on or prior to the expiration or termination of the Sublease or which survive such expiration or termination by their own terms. Any prepaid monetary obligations under the Sublease paid to Owner shall be prorated as of the Purchase Date, and the prorated unapplied balance shall be deducted from the ROFO Purchase Price due to Owner; provided, that no apportionment of any Impositions (as defined in the Sublease) shall be made upon any such purchase.
(i) If the completion of the purchase by Tenant or its designee pursuant to this Paragraph 13 shall be delayed after the date scheduled for such purchase, Base Rent and Additional Rent shall continue to be due and payable under the Sublease until completion of such purchase.

June 1, 2031 through May 31, 2032 increased by 1.89% |
|
Prior year’s Base Rent |
(b) As used herein, the term “Adjusted FMRV” shall mean the greater of (i) 97% of the Fair Market Rental Value (as defined herein) of the Premises per annum or (ii) the Prior Bumped Rent (as defined herein). The “Prior Bumped Rent” as used herein shall mean the lesser of (1) amount that is 1.89% greater than the per annum rent payable under the Sublease immediately prior to the applicable Renewal Term (which, notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, shall be deemed to be
9
$707,696.03 per annum for the purposes of calculating the Fair Market Rental Value for the first Renewal Term) or (2) 110% of the Fair Market Rental Value of the Premises per annum.
(c) ”Fair Market Rental Value” shall be determined as of the date occurring sixteen (16) months prior to the applicable Renewal Date (such date is hereinafter called the “Determination Date”) and which determination shall be made in accordance with this subparagraph and subparagraphs “(d)” and “(e)” below and shall be determined by comparing the prevailing fixed or base rental rate payable under leases (collectively, “Comparable Leases”) that have actually been entered into (the “Prevailing Rental Rate”) as of the Determination Date, for space in buildings within a twenty-five (25) mile radius of the Premises of comparable quality and age to the Premises (collectively, “Comparable Buildings”). The entire Premises shall be taken into account in determining Fair Market Rental Value, irrespective of whether Tenant utilizes or intends to utilize such space, including but not limited to any mezzanine space. In determining the Prevailing Rental Rate appropriate consideration shall be given to the 1.89% annual rent increases hereunder during the applicable Renewal Term and the economic terms of Comparable Leases, including but not limited to, lease term, base years, escalations, operating expenses, taxes, and distinctions between “gross” and “net” leases, the date the particular rent rate under consideration became or is to become effective, and all other terms and conditions of this Sublease which are applicable to the applicable Renewal Term. In addition in the event that any improvements made by Tenant increase the square footage of the building on the Premises, an appropriate reduction shall be made to the Fair Market Rental Value as if such square footage had not been added to the building on the Premises. All of the foregoing matters shall constitute the criteria (the “Criteria”) for determining the Fair Market Rental Value. When applying the Criteria, only leases, renewals and expansions which have been executed within the 12 months prior o the Determination Date shall be taken into consideration.
(d) Owner and Tenant shall endeavor to agree as to the amount of the Fair Market Rental Value for the Premises pursuant to the provisions of subparagraph (c) above, during the fifteen (15) day period following the Determination Date. In the event that Owner and Tenant cannot agree as to the amount of the Fair Market Rental Value within such fifteen (15) day period following the Determination Date, then Owner or Tenant may initiate the appraisal process provided for herein by giving notice to that effect to the other, and the party so initiating the appraisal process (such party hereinafter referred to as the “Initiating Party”) shall specify in such notice the name and address of the person designated to act as an arbitrator on its behalf. Within fifteen (15) days after the designation of such arbitrator, the other party (hereinafter referred to as the “Other Party”) shall give notice to the Initiating Party specifying the name and address of the person designated to act as an appraiser on its behalf. If the Other Party fails to notify the Initiating Party of the appointment of its appraiser within the time above specified, then the appointment of the second appraiser shall be made in the same manner as hereinafter provided for the appointment of a third appraiser in a case where the two appraisers appointed hereunder and the parties are unable to agree upon such appointment. The two appraisers so chosen shall meet within twenty (20) days after the second appraiser is appointed hereunder and the parties are unable to agree upon such appointment. The two appraisers so chosen shall meet within twenty (20) days after the second appraiser is appointed and attempt to reach an agreement on the Fair Market Rental Value for the Premises and if, within twenty (20) days after the second appraiser is appointed, the two appraisers shall not agree, they shall together appoint a third appraiser. In the event they are unable to agree upon such appointment within thirty (30) days after the appointment of the second appraiser, the third appraiser shall be selected by the parties themselves if they can agree thereon within a further period of ten (10) days. If the parties do not so agree on the appointment of the third appraiser, then either party, on behalf of both and on notice to the other, may request such appointment by the American Arbitration Association (or organization successor thereto) in accordance with its rules then prevailing or if the American Arbitration Association (or such successor organization) shall fail to appoint said third appraiser within twenty (20) days after such request is made, then either party may apply on notice to the other, to the Superior Court, Xxxxxx County, New Jersey (or any other court having jurisdiction and exercising functions similar to those now exercised by said Court) for the appointment of such third appraiser. The determination of Fair Market Value made by the third appraiser appointed pursuant hereto shall be made within twenty (20) days after such appointment.
10
(e) If a third appraiser is selected, Fair Market Rental Value shall be the average of the determination of Fair Market Rental Value made by the third appraiser and the determination of Fair Market Rental Value made by the appraiser whose determination of Fair Market Value is nearest to that of the third appraiser. Such average shall be binding and conclusive upon Owner and Tenant.
(f) Each party shall pay the fees and expenses of the one of the two original appraisers appointed by or for such party, and the fees and expenses of the third appraiser and all other expenses (not including the attorneys fees, witness fees and similar expenses of the parties which shall be borne separately by each of the parties) of the appraisal process shall be borne by the parties equally.
(g) All appraisers selected or appointed pursuant to this Section 16 shall (A) be independent qualified MAI appraisers (B) have no right, power or authority to alter or modify the provisions of this Agreement, (C) utilize the definition of Fair Market Rental Value hereinabove set forth above, (D) be registered in the State of New Jersey if such State provides for or requires such registration, and (E) have at least ten (10) years experience in the leasing and renting of industrial/office space in similar properties in Central New Jersey.
17. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING:
Notwithstanding anything contained in the Master Lease to the contrary, with respect to any period prior to the Attornment Date or the Commencement of any Renewal Term, Owner hereby waives, for the benefit of Sublandlord and Tenant, any requirement in the Master Lease requiring the deposit with Owner of an Assignment Security Deposit or Sublet Security Deposit (as such terms are defined in the Master Lease) or the consent of Owner to any assignment of the Sublease or further sub-subletting of the Premises. Effective as of any Attornment Date or the commencement of any Renewal Term, if Tenant has so assigned the Sublease or further sub-sublet the Premises, or if Tenant thereafter desires to assign the Sublease or further sub-sublet the Premises, Tenant shall be required to deposit with Owner an Assignment Security Deposit or Sublet Security Deposit to the extent same would be required under the Master Lease, provided, however, that the amount of such Assignment Security Deposit or Sublet Security Deposit, as applicable, shall be only based upon the then current base rent under the Sublease and not on the full Basic Rent set forth in the Master Lease.
