2. LEASE OF DEMISED PREMISES

2.1 Landlord hereby leases to Tenant, and Tenant hereby hires from Landlord, upon the terms and conditions herein set forth, the Demised Premises in the Building which is situated on the Land.

3. COMMENCEMENT OF TERM; EXPIRATION DATE

3.1 Subject to Section 23.9 hereof, the commencement of the Term of Lease (“Commencement Date”) shall be the earlier of (1) November 1, 1997; or (2) the date on which Tenant shall have taken possession or control of or moved furniture or other personal property into all or any portion of the Demised Premises.

3.2 Intentionally Deleted Prior To Execution.

3.3 Intentionally Deleted Prior To Execution.

3.4 On or about the Commencement Date, Landlord or Managing Agent shall deliver to Tenant a notice (the “Commencement Date Notice”) fixing the Commencement Date and the expiration date (“Expiration Date”), which shall be the last day of the month which reflects the Term of Lease (the “Initial Term”), as well as the payee and address for all rental payments. Tenant shall acknowledge receipt of the Commencement Date Notice by signing a copy of same and returning it to Landlord within five (5) business days of the receipt thereof. Tenant’s failure to sign the Commencement Date Notice and return same to Landlord as provided in this Section shall be deemed to be Tenant’s acceptance of the Commencement Date and Expiration Date as stated in the Commencement Date Notice.

3.5 The date upon which Xxxxxx is obligated to commence payment of Minimum Rent hereunder (“Rent Commencement Date”) shall be the Commencement Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall pay Landlord upon the execution of this Lease (a) the Prepayment of Rent, which shall be applied to Minimum Rent due beginning the first full month that Tenant is obligated to pay Minimum Rent; and (b) the Security. The Prepayment of Rent shall be promptly deposited by Landlord in an interest-bearing account and the Prepayment of Rent, together with all interest earned thereon during the period beginning on the date Landlord deposits the Prepayment of Rent in an interest-bearing account and ending on the day immediately prior to the Rent Commencement Date, shall be applied to the amount of Minimum Rent due on the Rent Commencement Date. If the Commencement Date occurs on a day other than the first (1st) day of a calendar month, then, the Minimum Rent for such partial calendar month shall be prorated at a per diem rate of one-thirtieth (1/30) of the first full monthly installment of Minimum Rent.

3.6 As a condition of Xxxxxxxx’s agreement hereunder, Xxxxxx agrees to take possession of and accept the Demised Premises in their “as is” physical condition and state of repair as of the Commencement Date, subject to Article 23 hereof. In this regard, Landlord shall have no obligation to do any work or perform any services with respect to the Demised Premises, subject to Article 23 hereof. On or before the Commencement Date, Tenant shall obtain, at its expense, and provide to Landlord an original official certificate of occupancy for the Demised Premises.

3.7 If, prior to the Commencement Date, Tenant shall enter the Demised Premises to make any installations of its equipment, fixtures or furnishings, Landlord shall have no liability for any personal injury or property damage suffered by Tenant, its employees or Agents, except to the extent caused directly by Landlord’s gross negligence or misconduct.

4. INTENTIONALLY DELETED PRIOR TO EXECUTION

5. RENT

5.2 Tenant covenants to pay all items of additional rent in a timely manner as provided in Article 6 hereof.

5.3 The Minimum Rent and additional rent payable hereunder by Xxxxxx shall be paid without notice or demand and without set-off, counterclaim, abatement, reduction or defense, in currency or immediately-available funds which at the time of payment is legal tender for public and private debts in The United States of America, at the address of Landlord set forth above or at such other place as Landlord or its Managing Agent may from time to time designate.

6. TAXES; OPERATING COSTS; REIMBURSEMENTS

6.1 “Taxes” shall mean all real estate taxes, charges and assessments imposed upon the Demised Premises or the Real Estate or any part thereof by any Governmental Authority. Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to contest or appeal any Taxes or assessments levied on the Real Estate or any portion thereof and any expense incurred by Landlord in connection with such contest or appeal, including, but not limited to, fees payable to attorneys, appraisers and consultants, shall be deemed “Taxes”. If Tenant desires to challenge the Tax assessment for the Real Estate (“Tax Assessment”), Tenant shall so notify Landlord in writing. Within thirty (30) days after Xxxxxxxx receives said written notice from Xxxxxx, Landlord shall advise Tenant whether Xxxxxxxx has made a final and irrevocable decision not to challenge the Tax Assessment. Provided (i) Tenant has not breached any term of the Lease, (ii) Tenant is in actual occupancy of the entire Building, (iii) Tenant has not sublet all or any part of the Building (except as provided in Section 16.18 hereof), (iv) Tenant has not assigned the Lease (except as provided in Section 16.18 hereof) and (v) Landlord has notified Tenant in writing that Landlord has made a final and irrevocable decision not to challenge the Tax Assessment, then, in such case, Tenant may challenge, in good faith and at no cost to Landlord, the Tax Assessment. Any Taxes, whether challenged or contested by either Landlord or Tenant, shall be promptly paid and discharged by Tenant if, as and when due puruant to the Lease. Copies of all letters and other documents received by Xxxxxx from the tax court or any governmental or quasi-governmental authorities regarding any aspect of Tenant’s challenge of the Tax Assessment shall be given to Landlord by Tenant within ten (10) days after Xxxxxx’s receipt thereof. Any letters or other documents to be given by Xxxxxx, or on Tenant’s behalf, to the tax court and/or any governmental or quasi-governmental authorities regarding any aspect of Tenant’s challenge of the Tax Assessment shall be given by Tenant to Landlord simultaneously with the giving of the same by Xxxxxx, or on Tenant’s behalf, to the tax court and/or any governmental or quasi-governmental authorities. If, at any time during the course of Tenant’s challenge of the Tax Assessment, (a) Tenant has breached any term of the Lease, (b) Tenant is in actual occupancy of less than the entire Building, (c) the term of the Lease has less than two (2) years to run, (d) Tenant has sublet all or any part of the Building (except as provided in Section 16.18 hereof) and/or (e) Tenant has assigned the Lease (except as provided in Section 16.18 hereof), then, at Landlord’s option, Tenant shall immediately withdraw its challenge of the Tax Assessment.

6.2 (a) This Lease is intended to be a “net lease” and, except as otherwise provided in this Lease, Tenant shall, as additional rent, pay Tenant’s Occupancy Percentage of all Operating

Costs [defined in Section 6.2(b) hereof] and all Taxes [defined in Section 5.1 hereof]. Landlord shall from time to time bill Tenant for Xxxxxx’s Occupancy Percentage of all Operating Costs and all Taxes and Tenant shall pay to Landlord all such amounts so invoiced within thirty (30) days after Landlord gives Tenant the bill. Further, with respect to any expense incurred by Landlord on account of improvements, special services or otherwise requested by Tenant, Tenant shall pay Landlord on demand as additional rent the full amount (not Tenant’s Occupancy Percentage) of such expense.

(b) “Operating Costs” shall include each and every expense incurred in connection with the ownership, administration, management, operation, repair, replacement, renewal, and maintenance of the Real Estate, including but not limited to, wages, salaries and fees paid to persons either employed by Landlord or engaged as contractors in the operation of the Real Estate, and such other typical items of expense as are indicated below in subsection (d).

(c) Notwithstanding anything contained to the contrary in Section 6.2(b) hereof, the following repair, maintenance and/or replacement costs shall be handled as set forth below:

I. Replacement of Floors, Walls, Exterior Wall System and Roof. Any cost incurred by Landlord to replace the structural foundation floors, the exterior load-bearing walls, the exterior wall system and/or the roof of the Building shall not be included as an Operating Cost.

II. Replacement of Capital Improvements. Except as provided in subsection I, above, if Landlord replaces a major capital improvement whose estimated replacement cost (as determined by a competent contractor of Landlord’s choice) exceeds $175,000.00, then, the cost of replacement shall be included as an Operating Cost but charged to Tenant as follows: (1) Landlord shall amortize on a straight-line basis over the useful life of the major capital improvement (as determined by Landlord) the cost of replacing said major capital improvement; and (2) Landlord shall include as an Operating Cost during the year of the Lease in which work commences for the replacement of the major capital improvement, and in each subsequent year of the Lease, an amount equal to said amortized cost of replacing the major capital improvement plus interest on the unamortized cost of replacing the major capital improvement, which interest shall equal, on an annual basis, three percent (3%) above the prime lending rate then charged by Citibank, N.A., or any successor thereto. If, however, the estimated replacement cost (as determined by a competent contractor of Landlord’s choice) for the major capital improvement is equal to or less than $175,000.00, then, the cost thereof shall be due as an Operating Cost at once and in full within thirty (30) days after Landlord gives Tenant a xxxx xxxxxxxx.

III. Structural Repairs Due to Faulty Workmanship Prior To Sixth (6th) Lease Year. See insert on page 8a.

IV. Roof Repairs. Landlord, at its expense, shall procure a roof guaranty (in form and content satisfactory to Landlord) with coverage lasting no less than ten (10) years. To the extent any repair or maintenance of the roof is performed by the roof guarantor at its expense, the costs of such repair or maintenance shall not be included as an Operating Cost.

(d) Some of the typical items of expense which comprise or may comprise the Operating Costs are or may be, without limiting the generality of the term Operating Costs: (1) general repairs, maintenance, and renewal to the exterior and common areas of the Improvements; (2) utility costs, including but not limited to, costs of energy to power Landlord’s standard HVAC units serving the Building (both tenant and common areas), and costs of electricity to light the common areas; (3) cleaning costs, including but not limited to, window cleaning, general interior office cleaning, and cleaning of common areas; (4) service and/or maintenance contracts, including but not limited to, HVAC, rubbish removal, carting, janitorial, security watchmen, exterminating and snow removal to the extent such services and/or maintenance are contracted for by Landlord or Managing Agent; (5) costs of landscaping and maintenance of the Building grounds; (6) salaries, benefits and work uniforms of superintendents, engineers, mechanics, and custodians; (7) towel service for common lavatories; (8) sales and use taxes; (9) cost of regularly replacing fluorescent tubes and ballasts in tenant spaces, unless due to the carelessness of such individual tenant; and (10) such other costs and expenses generally incurred in the operation, maintenance and repair of first-class real property of the nature and in the area of the Real Estate.

(e) The expenditures referred to in this Article shall be determined in accordance with generally acceptable accounting practices. Tenant or its representative shall have the right, at its own expense, upon reasonable notice and during reasonable hours, to inspect the books of Landlord for the purpose of verifying the information contained in any bills for expenses Tenant is required to pay Landlord under Section 6.2 hereof, provided (1) prior written request for such inspection shall be made by Tenant; (2) such request is made within sixty (60) days of receipt of the bill to be verified; and (3) Tenant shall have paid the bill in full. Any bill not verified within said sixty (60) day period shall be deemed to be correct. Xxxxxxxx agrees that so long as the immediately preceding three (3) conditions have been fully met, Landlord shall, by no later than thirty (30) days after Xxxxxxxx’s receipt of Tenant’s written request for inspection, furnish Tenant with a proposed resolution in reply to the concerns raised in said written request for inspection. If Xxxxxxxx’s proposed resolution is unacceptable to Tenant, then, Landlord and Tenant shall promptly meet and attempt in good faith to reach a mutually acceptable resolution.

6.3 If, due to an error in the preparation of any bill, there shall be an additional amount payable or a refund due with respect to Taxes and/or Operating Costs for the period covered by such bill(s), such amount shall be calculated by Landlord or Managing Agent and sent to Tenant in a revised bill, and any amount payable by the Tenant to the Landlord shall be paid within thirty (30) days, as additional rent or the amount due to the Tenant shall either be credited against amounts due or to become due to Landlord or promptly refunded to Tenant hereunder. However, it is agreed by the parties that any credit shall not in any way operate to reduce the Minimum Rent payable by Tenant. If such calculation takes place and/or any payment in connection herewith becomes payable after the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, this section shall be deemed to have survived such expiration or termination.

6.4 Any additional rent due under this Article shall be prorated for the final Lease year. Tenant’s obligation to pay additional rent occurring hereunder prior to the Expiration Date shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease.

6.5 If any appliances or electrical or mechanical

To the extent any costs for performing any structural repairs are necessitated by faulty workmanship, defective materials or substandard construction, such costs shall not be included as an Operating Cost during the first five (5) years of the Term. At all times within the Term, even during that period falling before the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Commencement Date, costs for performing repairs to the Building shall not be included as Operating Costs to the extent those costs are (i) specifically covered by insurance proceeds actually received by Landlord and (ii) paid to Landlord by its insurer as a result of a casualty affecting the Building. At all times within the Term, even during that period falling before the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Commencement Date, costs for performing repairs to the Building shall not be included as Operating Costs to the extent those costs for such work are specifically waived either by the contractor who performed the repair or by the party required to perform the work under any applicable warranty or guaranty agreement. If Landlord, reasonably and in good faith, believes that the terms of an insurance policy, warranty agreement or guaranty agreement affecting the Building entitle Landlord (at no cost to Landlord) to either repairs or funds for the performance of repairs, then, Landlord shall request such repairs or funds from the party whom Landlord, reasonably and in good faith, believes is required to furnish same under said insurance policy, warranty agreement or guaranty agreement.

The aforementioned provisions shall be self-operative without any further act by Landlord or Tenant necessary to effectuate the same. Tenant further covenants that it will not

partitions, railings, flooring, electrical conduits and cabling and any other improvements installed in the Demised Premises at any time, either by Tenant or any Sublessee or by Landlord on Tenant’s behalf, shall, upon installation, become the property of Landlord and shall remain upon and be surrendered with the Demised Premises, unless Landlord, by notice to Tenant no fewer than twenty (20) days prior to the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease, elects to relinquish Landlord’s right thereto and to have same removed by Xxxxxx, in which event the same shall be removed from the Demised Premises by Tenant prior to the expiration of the Lease, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense.

(b) If, however, Landlord consents in writing, after the Commencement Date, to the installation in the Demised Premises of fixtures, paneling, permanent partitions, non-furniture partitions, railings, flooring, electrical conduits, cabling, Non-Standard Installations [hereinafter defined in subsection (c) below], or any other improvements, Landlord shall advise Tenant, simultaneously with Landlord’s written consent, whether Landlord is relinquishing its right to such installation and requiring such installation to be removed prior to the expiration of the Lease by Tenant at its expense. Tenant shall strictly abide by and timely comply with any such advice. Notwithstanding anything contained to the contrary in the immediately preceding sentence, Landlord shall have no obligation whatsoever to so advise Tenant at the time Landlord consents to an installation, unless both of the following conditions have been met prior to Landlord’s granting of consent:

(i) Landlord receives from Tenant detailed plans and specifications for the particular installation; and

Any installations that, in Xxxxxxxx’s opinion, are not standard and ordinary improvements routinely installed in business offices are herein referred to as “Non-Standard Installations”. If, Landlord timely receives from Tenant the Approved Final Drawings (hereinafter defined in Section 23.1) simultaneously with a written notice requesting that Landlord identify all Non-Standard Installations described in the Approved Final Drawings, then, by January 20, 1997, Landlord shall advise Tenant as to which items shown in the Approved Final Drawings constitute Non-Standard Installations.

13.7 All monies due Landlord or Landlord’s agent or contractor by Xxxxxx for work performed pursuant to Article 12 or this Article shall be paid within thirty (30) days of Tenant’s

receipt of an invoice therefor. All such monies which are not timely received by Landlord or Landlord’s contractor shall accrue interest from the due date at the rate of Interest.

16.1 Tenant, for itself, its legal representatives, creditors, heirs, distributees, administrators, trustees, successors and assigns, expressly covenants that it shall not assign, mortgage, pledge or otherwise encumber this Lease; nor, except as specifically set forth below, underlet, or suffer or permit the Demised Premises or any part thereof to be used by anyone other than the Tenant named in Section 1.1.

16.2 For purposes of this Article, any occupancy arrangement (including, without limitation, verbal agreements, management agreements, concessions, licenses and space-sharing agreements or arrangements) affecting all or any part of the Demised Premises, other than a direct lease with Landlord or an assignment of this Lease permitted hereunder, shall be referred to as a “Sublease”; and any user or occupant of all or part of the Demised Premises, other than the Tenant or an assignee permitted under this Article shall be referred to as a “Sublessee.”

(c) the nature and character of the business of the proposed assignee or Sublessee and its proposed use of the Demised Premises;

(d) evidence that the proposed assignee or Sublessee is a United States citizen or a partnership or corporation qualified to do business in the State of New Jersey and organized and in good standing under the laws of one of the states of the United States;

(e) banking, financial and other credit information relating to the proposed assignee or Sublessee reasonably sufficient to enable Landlord to determine the proposed assignee’s or Sublessee’s financial responsibility; and

(f) in the case of a Subleasing of only a portion of the Demised Premises, plans and specifications for Tenant’s layout, partitioning, and electrical installations for the portion of the Demised Premises to be subleased.

16.4 (a) If the nature and character of the business of the proposed assignee or Sublessee, and the proposed use and occupancy of the Demised Premises, or any portion thereof, by the proposed assignee or Sublessee, is in keeping and compatible with the Permitted Use and the dignity and character of the Building, then, subject to compliance with the requirements of this Article, Xxxxxxxx agrees not to unreasonably withhold its consent to any such proposed assignment or Subleasing; provided, however, that Tenant shall, in Tenant’s Transfer Notice, advise Landlord of Tenant’s intention to assign this Lease or to permit a Subleasing of all or any part of the Demised Premises, from, on and after a stated date (which date shall not be less than sixty (60) days after the sending of Tenant’s Transfer Notice), in which event Landlord shall have the right (“Landlord’s Recapture Right”), to be exercised by giving written notice (“Landlord’s Recapture Notice”) to Tenant within ten (10) days after Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s Transfer Notice, to recapture the space described in Xxxxxx’s Transfer Notice.

(b) If less than all of the Demised Premises are recaptured by Landlord, Landlord shall construct and erect such partitioning and modify Building systems as may be required to separate the space retained by Tenant from the space recaptured. The cost of such alterations shall be borne by Landlord. The Minimum Rent, Tenant’s Occupancy Percentage, and Tenant’s Allotted Parking shall be adjusted pursuant to a written amendment to this Lease on the basis of the number of square feet retained by Tenant in proportion to the number of square feet demised under this Lease immediately prior to such recapture; and this Lease, as so amended, shall continue thereafter in full force and effect as to the portion of the Demised Premises retained by Tenant.

16.5 In addition to the foregoing requirements, (a) no Sublease shall violate any Law or result in the occupancy of the Demised Premises by more than four (4) sole proprietors, firms, partnerships or corporations, including the Tenant hereunder; (b) no Sublease shall be for a term of less than two years, unless the unexpired term of this Lease shall be less than two years at the commencement of the Sublease; (c) no assignee or Sublessee shall be an existing tenant of, or any party then negotiating for space in, the Building, or any other land or building in the office park in which the Building is located which is (1) owned by Landlord or any affiliate of Landlord or any partnership in which Landlord or an affiliate of Landlord is a partner, or (2) managed by Landlord or an affiliate of Landlord [any such property referred to under subsection 16.5(c)(1) or (2) being hereinafter referred to as an “Affiliated Property”]; (d) no Sublease shall result in the occupancy of less than 1,000 square feet of space; (e) there shall be no Default under any of the terms and conditions of this Lease at the time of Tenant’s Transfer Notice or at the effective date of such assignment or Subleasing; (f) no Subleasing shall be for a rental rate less than that currently being charged for comparable space in the Building or any Affiliated Property, which rental rate Landlord shall quote to Tenant after Landlord receives from Tenant a written demand therefor.

16.6 Anything to the contrary in this Article notwithstanding, Landlord shall not consent to any assignment or Sublease unless Xxxxxx agrees at the time of the proposed assignment or Sublease and in Tenant’s Transfer Notice to pay over to Landlord sixty (60%) percent of all consideration (of whatever nature) that would be payable by the prospective assignee or Sublessee to Tenant, whether in one or more payments or transfers and whether pursuant to such assignment or Sublease or any other agreement related thereto, which exceeds the pro rata share of the Minimum Rent payable by Tenant hereunder.

16.7 Any Sublease must specifically provide that (a) it shall be subject and subordinate to all of the terms and conditions of this Lease; (b) the use of the Demised Premises thereunder shall be restricted exclusively to the Permitted Use; (c) the term thereof shall not extend beyond the Expiration Date; (d) no Sublessee or its heirs, distributees, executors, administrators, legal representatives, trustees, successors or assigns, without the prior consent of Landlord in each instance, which consent Landlord may withhold in its absolute discretion, shall (1) assign, whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise, mortgage or encumber its interest in any Sublease, in whole or in part, (2) Sublease or permit the subleasing of, that part of the Demised Premises affected by such Subleasing or any portion thereof, or (3) permit such part of the Demised Premises affected by such Subleasing or any part thereof to be occupied or used, by any person other than such Sublessee; and (e) in the event of cancellation or termination of this Lease for any reason whatsoever or of the surrender of this Lease, whether voluntary, involuntary or by operation of Law, prior to the expiration date of such Sublease, including any extensions and renewals granted thereunder, the Sublessee, at Landlord’s option and in its sole discretion, shall either vacate the Demised Premises or shall make full and complete attornment to Landlord for the balance of the term of the Sublease, which attornment shall be evidenced by an agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Landlord which the Sublessee shall execute and deliver within five (5) business days after request by Landlord. The Sublessee shall waive the provisions of any Law now or hereafter in effect which may give the Sublessee any right of election to terminate the Sublease or to surrender possession of the Demised Premises in the event any proceeding is brought by Landlord to terminate or assume this Lease.

16.8 No assignee or Sublessee shall receive any credit whatsoever from Landlord for security deposits, rent or any other monies paid to Tenant unless same shall have been actually received and receipted by Landlord.

16.9 Each of the following events shall be deemed to constitute an “assignment” of this Lease and shall require the prior written consent of Landlord in each instance as provided in this Article; any person or entity making an assignment shall be referred to herein as an “assignor”, and any person or entity to whom an assignment is made shall be referred to herein as an “assignee”:

(b) Any hypothecation, pledge or collateral assignment of this Lease;

(d) Any transfer or acquisition, whether in a single transaction or cumulatively, of (1) the majority of the issued and outstanding stock or voting interests of a corporate Tenant, except as may occur through public trades on any recognized security exchange or over-the-counter market; (2) a majority of the equitable or voting interests of a Partnership Tenant; or (3) any general partnership interest of a Partnership Tenant (each of the foregoing being referred to as a “Controlling Interest”);

(e) Any issuance (other than in a public offering) of an interest or interests in Tenant (whether stock or partnership interests or otherwise) to any person, entity or group of related persons or affiliated entities, whether in a single transaction or in a series of related or unrelated transactions, such that following such issuance, such person, entity or group shall hold a Controlling Interest in Tenant.

16.10 Tenant, its Sublessees, and their respective legal representatives, heirs, distributees, executors, administrators, trustees, creditors, successors and assigns acknowledge and agree that the restriction that Xxxxxxxx’s consent under certain circumstances to a proposed assignment of this Lease or to a Subleasing shall not be unreasonably withheld shall not be intended or construed as an agreement or covenant on the part of Landlord, but rather as a qualification on Tenant’s covenant not to assign this Lease or enter into or permit any Sublease; and it is further agreed that Landlord shall not be liable in damages or subject to liability of any kind or nature whatever by reason of Landlord’s failure or refusal to grant its consent to any proposed assignment of this Lease or Subleasing of the Demised Premises, the sole and exclusive recourse being a declaratory judgment on the question of Landlord’s reasonableness. Notwithstanding anything contained to the contrary in this Section 16.10, Xxxxxxxx agrees that if a final and unappealable judgment has been entered against Landlord by a court of competent jurisdiction stating that Landlord unreasonably failed or refused to grant its consent to any proposed assignment of this Lease or subletting of all or any part of the Demised Premises, then, in such case, Landlord shall be liable in damages, but only to the extent said damages are actual, direct, foreseeable, proximate and compensatory. Xxxxxx agrees that under no circumstances shall Landlord be liable for indirect, special, unforeseeable, speculative, punitive, exemplary or consequential damages.

16.11 (a) It is a condition to the effectiveness of any assignment otherwise complying with this Article that (a) Tenant shall increase, within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s demand, the amount of Security deposited with Landlord by a sum to be reasonably determined by Landlord and (b) the assignee shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord an agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Landlord whereby the assignee assumes all obligations of Tenant under this Lease, and agrees that the provisions of this Article shall continue to be binding upon it in respect of all future assignments of this Lease. No assignment of this Lease shall release the assignor or any guarantor or obligor hereof from its continuing obligations to Landlord under this Lease or any renewals extensions or modifications thereof, except as expressly herein provided in Section 16.11(b); and Tenant its guarantors and obligors and any subsequent assignor [except as otherwise provided in Section 16.11(b) hereof] shall continue to remain jointly and severally liable (as primary obligor) for all of Tenant’s obligations hereunder.

(b) Xxxxxx agrees that Landlord may, in its sole and absolute discretion, release Tenant from all of its liabilities,

obligations, duties and responsibilities under the Lease in the event the Lease is assigned in strict accordance with this Article. Such release shall be deemed ineffective unless, and shall be effective only if, (1) Landlord receives from Tenant a written novation agreement in recordable form that has been executed by all assignees of the Lease and Landlord and (2) Xxxxxx receives from Landlord a written statement executed by Landlord wherein Landlord acknowledges that it is fully satisfied with the creditworthiness, cash flow position, liquidity, assets, liabilities and financial strength of the assignee(s) of the Lease. Landlord shall have sole and absolute discretion in electing whether to execute the aforementioned novation agreement and/or the aforementioned written statement regarding the economic status of the assignee(s) of the Lease. Xxxxxxxx, however, agrees that in assessing the creditworthiness, cash flow position, liquidity, assets, liabilities and financial strength of the assignee(s) of the Lease, Landlord shall apply reasonable standards of evaluation customarily utilized by institutional owners of commercial real estate.

16.12 Tenant, at its expense, covenants to obtain all permits, approvals and certificates of occupancy required by any Governmental Authority for any work or in connection with any assignment of this Lease or any Sublease and any alterations to the Demised Premises in connection therewith, and Tenant shall deliver copies of the same to Landlord prior to the commencement of work, if work is to be done, and prior to the occupancy of any or all of the Demised Premises by the assignee or sublessee. All such alterations shall be in strict compliance with Article 13 hereof. Tenant shall submit a duplicate original counterpart of the assignment or Sublease to Landlord within five (5) business days of the date of execution.

16.13 If Landlord reasonably withholds its consent to any proposed assignment or Sublease as permitted in this Article, or if Landlord exercises Landlord’s Recapture Right pursuant to Section 16.4(a) - (b) hereof, Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Landlord against and from all loss, liability, damage, cost and expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) resulting from any claims that may be made against Landlord by the proposed assignee or Sublessee or by any brokers or other persons claiming a commission or similar compensation in connection with the proposed assignment or sublease.

16.14 If Landlord consents to any proposed assignment or Sublease and Xxxxxx fails to consummate the assignment or Sublease to which Landlord consented within ninety (90) days after the giving of such consent, Tenant shall be required again to comply with all of the provisions and conditions of this Article before assigning this Lease or Subleasing all or part of the Demised Premises.

16.15 Intentionally Deleted Prior To Execution.

16.16 The listing of any name other than that of Tenant or any permitted assignee or Sublessee on any door of the Demised Premises or on any directory or in any elevator in the Building or otherwise shall be at Landlord’s sole discretion, and shall not operate to vest in the person so named any right or interest in this Lease or in the Demised Premises or the Building, or be deemed to constitute, or serve as a substitute for, any prior consent required under this Article, and it is understood that any such listing shall constitute a license extended by Landlord which shall be revocable at Landlord’s will by written notice to Xxxxxx.

16.17 If this Lease is assigned, or if the Demised Premises or any part thereof is subleased, Landlord may, after a Default, collect rent directly from the assignee or Sublessee and apply the net amount collected to the Minimum Rent and additional rent herein reserved; but no such assignment, Subleasing or collection shall be deemed a waiver of this covenant or the acceptance of the assignee or Sublessee as a tenant, or a release

of Tenant from the further performance by Xxxxxx of any of the covenants on the part of Tenant contained herein [except as otherwise provided in Section 16.11(b)]; and no such collection of rent by Landlord shall be characterized as a termination, cancellation or modification of this Lease, unless Landlord so notifies Tenant in writing.

16.18 Any provisions of this Article to the contrary notwithstanding, but subject to the other terms, conditions and provisions contained in said Article, including but not limited to Section 16.3, the following provisions contained in subsections (a) - (d) below shall apply to Landlord and Tenant:

(a) Any corporate Tenant shall have the right, without the consent of Landlord and free of Landlord’s Recapture Right, but after Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s Transfer Notice, to assign this Lease or sublease all or any part of the Demised Premises to any corporation controlling, controlled by or under common control with Tenant; provided that no such assignee shall further assign this Lease or Sublease any or all of the Demised Premises and no such Sublessee shall assign or encumber its Sublease or further sublease all or any part of the Demised Premises; and provided, further, that any event resulting in such assignee or Sublessee ceasing to be a corporation controlling, controlled by or under common control with Tenant shall be deemed to be an assignment or Sublease requiring the prior consent of Landlord pursuant to the provisions of this Article and Tenant shall thereupon comply with all provisions of this Article applicable thereto. For purposes hereof, “control” means ownership of at least eighty percent (80%) of the issued and outstanding voting stock of such corporation.

(b) Any corporate Tenant shall also have the right, without the consent of Landlord and free of Landlord’s Recapture Right, but after Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s Transfer Notice, to assign this Lease to any corporation succeeding to Tenant by merger or consolidation in accordance with applicable statutory provisions for merger or consolidation of corporations or by purchase of all or substantially all of Tenant’s assets; provided that subsequent to such merger, consolidation or purchase, the shareholder’s equity (capital stock, additional paid-in capital and retained earnings) of the successor corporation or the purchasing corporation, as the case may be, shall be at least equal to the shareholder’s equity of Tenant immediately prior to such merger, consolidation or purchase and this fact shall be so certified by the chief financial officer of the assignor and the assignee.

(c) It is Xxxxxxxx’s intent to permit assignment and Subleasing pursuant to this Section exclusively as an accommodation to the bona fide and legitimate business organizational needs of Tenant, and notwithstanding the provisions hereof, no assignment of this Lease or Subleasing of all or any part of the Demised Premises without Landlord’s consent hereunder shall be permitted where the sole or primary purpose of such assignment or Subleasing is to permit occupancy of all or any part of the Demised Premises by a third party in avoidance of Landlord’s consent, or in the case of a corporation’s purchasing all or substantially all of Tenant’s assets, where this Lease constitutes all or a substantial portion of such assets.

(d) Tenant shall promptly give Landlord prior written notice of any assignment of this Lease or Subleasing as required under this Section accompanied by all documentation required by Landlord to establish compliance with the requirements of subsections (a) and (b) above, and Tenant shall also promptly provide Landlord with a copy of any executed instrument of merger, consolidation or assignment or the executed Sublease, as the case may be.

January 10, 1997 such final drawings and specifications that have first been approved in writing by Landlord (“Approved Final Drawings”) for all work that Xxxxxx performs in or to any part of the Building on or before the Commencement Date. No changes, additions or deletions may be made to the Approved Final Drawings without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

23.2 Tenant represents that it has retained and hired Xxxx & Xxxxxxxxx Construction Services, Inc. (“G&W”) as Xxxxxx’s sole general contractor to perform all the work shown in the Approved Final Drawings. Landlord hereby consents to G&W being the sole general contractor that shall perform all the work shown in the Approved Final Drawings. Each and every subcontractor, materialman and supplier of goods or services involved directly or indirectly in the performance of work at the Building must first be approved in writing by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Tenant shall use no other general contractor beside G&W, without first obtaining the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

23.3 Provided Tenant has not breached any term of the Lease (after receipt of written notice and beyond the expiration of any applicable cure period), Landlord shall issue checks to G&W aggregating a total sum equal to the Construction Credit. The Construction Credit shall be disbursed in individual progress payments not more often than once during any calendar month. Each progress payment, however, shall be subject to a ten percent (10%) retainage. Within twenty (20) days after Landlord receives from Tenant (1) an invoice issued by G&W, (2) a fully executed and acknowledged waiver of construction liens in form satisfactory to Landlord and (3) a fully executed and acknowledged statement, in form satisfactory to Landlord, showing all subcontractors, materialmen and suppliers with whom G&W has entered into agreements, the amount of each such agreement and the amount requested for each subcontractor, materialman and supplier, Landlord shall, only if it ascertains that the billed work has been completed, remit a check to Tenant payable to G&W for the amount shown on the invoice. Xxxxxx agrees that Landlord shall in no way be responsible for the accuracy of said invoices or for the quality or completeness of the work performed to the Demised Premises.

23.4 So long as no breach has occurred under the Lease, which breach remains uncured after receipt of written notice and beyond the expiration of any applicable cure period, the ten percent (10%) retainage held by Landlord from each and every progress payment shall be given to Tenant (in the form of a check payable to G&W) within thirty (30) days after Landlord has received from Tenant all of the following documents:

(i) final, unconditional lien waivers from G&W and all subcontractors, materialmen and suppliers who performed any of the work shown in the Approved Final Drawings;

(ii) a written statement from Xxxxxx’s architect certifying that all work shown in the Approved Final Drawings has been completed;

(iii) a permanent or temporary certificate of occupancy for the Demised Premises;

(iv) all certificates, permits and/or licenses required by governmental and quasi-governmental authorities evidencing completion of the work shown in the Approved Final Drawings and legal occupancy of the Demised Premises by the Tenant; and

(v) an “as built” plan.

23.5 Landlord, at its expense, shall construct those items described in Exhibit F (Base Building Work), attached hereto

and made a part hereof. Landlord shall, at Xxxxxx’s sole expense, perform modifications to the Base Building Work requested in writing prior to the Commencement Date by Xxxxxx, provided Xxxxxxxx deems said modifications to be reasonable and approves said modifications in writing. Those modifications to the Base Building Work that are (1) requested in writing by Xxxxxx, (2) reasonable and (3) approved by Landlord in writing, are herein referred to as “Tenant Requested Modifications”. Xxxxxxxx agrees that each of its subcontractors engaged in performing Tenant Requested Modifications may not charge Landlord more than fifteen percent (15%) for profit and overhead. Within twenty (20) days after Xxxxxx receives from Landlord an invoice, Tenant shall pay Landlord, as additional rent, (a) all of Landlord’s costs and expenses in any way related to having Tenant Requested Modifications performed, (b) the full amount charged for the Tenant Requested Modifications by each subcontractor performing said work, (c) the profit and overhead charged by each subcontractor performing Tenant Requested Modifications and (d) a Landlord supervisory and coordination fee equal to five percent (5%) of the sum total of subsections (a), (b) and (c) of this sentence. Within five (5) business days after receipt by Landlord of a written notice from Tenant requesting backup documentation to substantiate the amount Tenant is required to pay Landlord pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, Landlord shall give Tenant a reasonably detailed breakdown of that amount which shows, among other things, the charge for labor, materials and subcontractor profit and overhead. All Tenant Requested Modifications shall constitute Tenant Work for purposes of this Lease. The failure of all or any of the Tenant Requested Modifications to be completed by October 1, 1997 shall in no event defer or delay the Commencement Date.

23.6 Landlord hereby grants Tenant a revocable license to have only G&W, and its materialmen, laborers, subcontractors and consultants, enter the Demised Premises to perform the work shown in the Approved Final Drawings on the condition that (i) such work is performed in harmony with and in no way delays, hampers or interferes with the construction of the Base Building Work and (ii) G&W and all of its materialmen, laborers, subcontractors and contractors maintain xxxxxxx’x compensation, public liability and property damage insurance, with a hold harmless provision in favor of Landlord, all in amounts and with companies satisfactory to Landlord and proof of said insurance is furnished to Landlord prior to the commencement of any work. Landlord expressly reserves the right to revoke the aforementioned license (a) as allowed by law or (b) if Tenant breaches any of the terms or provisions of this Lease.

23.7 That portion of the Base Building Work substantially completed by Landlord on or before March 31, 1997 shall be covered by Landlord on April 1, 1997 so the substantially completed portion is watertight or protected from penetration by the natural elements of outside weather.

23.8 Subject to force majeure events and Tenant Requested Modifications, Landlord shall substantially complete the Base Building Work by October 1, 1997. The Base Building Work shall be deemed substantially completed even if items of construction remain incomplete by October 1, 1997, provided that such non-completion does not prohibit the issuance of a permanent or temporary certificate of occupancy. Furthermore, the Base Building Work shall be deemed substantially completed even if punch-list items of construction remain incomplete by October l, 1997, provided that such non-completion of punch-list items does not unduly hamper Tenant from completing any unfinished work called for under the Approved Final Drawings.

`way interfered with Landlord’s discharge of its obligations under Section 23.7 hereof, (c) solely by virtue of Landlord’s negligence or misconduct, Landlord breaches its obligations under Section 23.7 or 23.8 hereof and (d) by November 1, 1997, the Demised Premises are, in Landlord’s reasonable opinion, not ready for Tenant’s occupancy, then, so long as Tenant has not breached the Lease, the Commencement Date shall be advanced into the future by one (1) day for each day within the period between October 1, 1997 and the day by when Landlord substantially completes the Base Building Work.

23.10 If (I) conditions (a) - (d) in Section 23.9 of the Lease are all met and (II) the Commencement Date occurs after November 1, 1997, then, so long as Landlord receives from Tenant, by no later than the Commencement Date, a written notice specifically referencing this Section, (1) Tenant shall receive two (2) days’ free Minimum Rent for each day between November 1, 1997 and the Commencement Date and (2) Landlord shall pay Tenant the Moving Costs (hereinafter defined).

Said furniture moving-related costs shall include, but shall not be limited to, furniture storage charges and forfeited deposits with furniture movers. Tenant’s entitlement, if any, to any benefits pursuant to this Section shall be Tenant’s sole and exclusive remedy in the event the Commencement Date, for any reason whatsoever, fails to occur on or before November 1, 1997.

23.11 Provided Tenant has not breached any term of the Lease (after receipt of written notice and beyond the expiration of any applicable cure period), Landlord shall issue checks to G&W aggregating a total sum of $511,720.00 (“Base Building Credit”). The foregoing obligation of Landlord shall be in addition to its obligation under the first (1st) sentence of Section 23.3 hereof.

30.5 Tenant and any Sublessee at its sole cost and expense, shall also procure, provide and maintain in force during the term of this Lease comprehensive general liability insurance, which (a) shall be written by good and solvent insurance companies reasonably satisfactory to Landlord; (b) shall include coverage for personal liability, contractual liability, Tenant’s (or Sublessee’s) legal liability, bodily injury, death and property damage in or from the Demised Premises and Tenant’s (or Sublessee’s) use and occupancy of the Demised Premises; (c) shall provide coverage for any one occurrence or claim of not less than $2,000,000; and shall insure against such other perils and in such amounts as Landlord or Managing Agent may from time to time reasonably require upon not less than ninety (90) days’ prior written notice.

30.6 Each of the insurance policies required in this Article shall contain an undertaking by the insurer that no material change adverse to Landlord will be made and such policy will not lapse or be cancelled, except after not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Landlord of the intended change, lapse or cancellation. Any such notice shall not relieve Tenant of any of its obligations hereunder. On or before the Commencement Date and thereafter, at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration date of any policy, Xxxxxx agrees to deliver to Landlord a certificate thereof reasonably satisfactory to Landlord.

30.7 Tenant may self-insure against all the risks set forth in Sections 30.1 and 30.5 hereof for the amounts recited in said Sections, provided (i) Tenant’s self-insurance program is maintained in accordance with prudent self-insurance principles, as reasonably determined by Landlord exercising due care and prudent fiscal responsibility, and adequate reserves are maintained, as reasonably determined by Landlord exercising due care and prudent fiscal responsibility, for funding of losses and (ii) Tenant’s creditworthiness, as of the date hereof, does not materially diminish and (iii) Tenant shall indemnify Landlord in accordance with this Lease to the same extent as if Tenant had procured standard insurance policies in accordance with this Article.

31. DAMAGES BY FIRE OR OTHER CASUALTY

31.1 If the Building or the Demised Premises or any part thereof shall be damaged by fire or other casualty, Tenant shall immediately inform Landlord or Managing Agent thereof, and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, except as hereinafter set forth.

31.2 Tenant waives the benefit of N.J.S.A. 46:8-6, and N.J.S.A. 46:8-7 and any similar Law. Except as specifically

provided in this Article, Xxxxxx agrees that it shall not be relieved of the obligations to pay Minimum Rent or any additional rent in case of damage to or destruction of the Building or any portion thereof.

31.3 If all or a material portion of the Demised Premises are damaged or rendered unusable by fire or other casualty but the Building is not substantially damaged, and the damages to the Demised Premises can, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, be reasonably repaired within one hundred eighty (180) days of the occurrence of such damage, the damages, to the extent affecting the tenant installation provided by Landlord, shall be repaired by Landlord and the Minimum Rent, until such repair shall be substantially completed, shall xxxxx in proportion to the area of the Demised Premises which was damaged or unusable by Tenant for so long as the Demised Premises, or each such portion thereof, is damaged or unusable, it being the intent that such abatement shall not affect or reduce Landlord’s rent insurance coverage. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Landlord shall not be obligated to repair or restore any personal property of Tenant or any fixtures or Tenant installation not installed by and paid for by Landlord.

31.4 If Landlord repairs and restores the Demised Premises in accordance with Section 31.3, such repairs and restorations shall be made with all reasonable expedition. After any such fire or other casualty, Tenant shall cooperate with Landlord’s restoration by removing from the Demised Premises as promptly as reasonably possible and to the extent reasonably necessary, all of Tenant’s and any Sublessee’s salvageable inventory and movable equipment, furniture, and other property. Tenant’s liability for Minimum Rent shall resume five (5) business days after written notice from Landlord of substantial completion of repairs to the Demised Premises.

31.5 If all or substantially all of the Demised Premises are damaged or rendered unusable by fire or other casualty, or (whether or not the Demised Premises are damaged in whole or in part; if the Building shall be substantially damaged so that Landlord in its reasonable opinion, cannot rebuild both the Demised Premises and the Building to their pre-existing condition within one hundred eighty (180) days after the Demised Premises are damaged or rendered unusable by fire or other casualty, then, in either of such events, either Landlord or Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease by written notice to the other, specifying a date for the expiration of the Lease, which date shall not be more than one hundred eighty (180) days after such fire or other casualty, and upon the date specified in such notice the term of this Lease shall expire as fully and completely as if such date were the Expiration Date and Tenant shall forthwith quit, surrender and vacate the Demised Premises without prejudice however, to Landlord’s rights and remedies against Tenant under the Lease provisions in effect prior to such termination; and any Minimum Rent and additional rent owing shall be paid up to such date and any payments of Minimum Rent and additional rent made by Tenant which were on account of any period subsequent to such date shall be credited against amounts owed by Tenant to Landlord or refunded to Tenant.

31.6 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article or any Law, should the Demised Premises or the Building be damaged by fire of other casualty as a result of the negligence of Tenant or any Sublessee or any employee, Agent or Visitor of either, Tenant shall have no right to terminate this Lease and there shall be no abatement of Minimum Rent under this Article, and Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for such damage, subject to the other provisions hereof.

32. WAIVER OF SUBROGATION

32.1 Notwithstanding any other provision herein, Landlord

and Tenant shall look first to any insurance in its favor before making any claim against the other party for recovery for loss or damage resulting from fire or other casualty, and to the extent that such insurance is in force and collectible and to the extent permitted by Law, Landlord and Tenant each hereby releases and waives all right of recovery against the other or any one claiming through or under each of them by way of subrogation or otherwise. The foregoing release and waiver shall be in force only if both Landlord and Tenant obtain their insurance required hereunder and only if both of their insurance policies contain a clause providing that such a release or waiver shall not invalidate the insurance. If, and to the extent, that such waiver can be obtained only by the payment of additional premiums, then the party benefitting from the waiver shall pay such premium within thirty (30) days after written demand from the other party or shall be deemed to have agreed that the party obtaining insurance coverage shall be free of any further obligation under the provisions hereof with respect to waiver of subrogation.

33. EMINENT DOMAIN

33.1 If all or substantially all of the Demised Premises or the Building or a substantial portion of the Land should be acquired or condemned by eminent domain by any Governmental Authority, then Landlord or Tenant may terminate this Lease as of the date when title vests pursuant to such taking. In such event, the Minimum Rent shall be apportioned as of said expiration date and any Minimum Rent paid for any period beyond said date and in excess of amounts owing by Tenant to Landlord shall be repaid to Tenant.

33.2 In the event of a taking of less than all or substantially all of the Demised Premises, Landlord shall have the right to equitably reduce the Demised Premises, Tenant’s Occupancy Percentage, the Minimum Rent and the Allotted Parking, and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease if the area of the Demised Premises shall not be reasonably sufficient for Tenant to continue feasible operation of its business.

33.3 Landlord or Tenant may exercise its respective right(s) to terminate this Lease under Section 33.1 or 33.2 by giving written notice to the other within thirty (30) days after the date of the vesting of title in such proceeding, specifying a date not more than fifteen (15) days after the giving of such notice as the date for such termination.

33.4 Neither Tenant nor any Sublessee shall have any claim in any condemnation or eminent domain proceeding for the value of any unexpired term of the Lease with respect to the Demised Premises or any portion thereof, and Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord Xxxxxx’s entire interest in any such award. Although Tenant shall not be entitled to any part of the award for such taking or any payment in lieu thereof, Tenant (or any Sublessee) may file a separate claim for any taking of fixtures and improvements owned by Tenant (or such Sublessee) which have not become Landlord’s property, and for moving expenses, provided the same shall in no way affect or diminish Landlord’s award.

34. DEFAULTS; EVENTS OF DEFAULT

34.1 Tenant shall be in default under this Lease upon the occurrence of any one or more of the following events (collectively, “Defaults”, and individually, a “Default”):

(a) If Tenant fails to move into or take possession of the Demised Premises within fifteen (15) days after the Commencement Date;

(b) If the Tenant vacates the Demised Premises for a period in excess of thirty (30) days other than during the month prior to the Expiration Date;

(c) If the Tenant is delinquent in the due and punctual payment of all or any portion of Minimum Rent, additional rent or any other monies payable by Tenant hereunder;

(d) If any execution, attachment or other action shall be taken against Tenant or any or Tenant’s property whereupon the Demised Premises shall be taken, occupied or used by someone other than Tenant or any assignee or Sublessee permitted in strict accordance with Article 16, including the storage of any of Tenant’s property on behalf of another person or entity; or

(e) If Tenant is delinquent in the performance of or compliance with any of the other covenants, agreements or conditions contained in this Lease, any other lease demising space in the Building to Tenant, or any other written agreement between Landlord and Tenant pertaining to the Demised Premises, the Building, and/or the Real Estate.

34.2 Upon the occurrence of a Default, Landlord, at any time thereafter, may give written notice to Tenant specifying the nature of such Default. Tenant shall have five (5) business days from the receipt of said notice (the “Cure Period”) to comply with or remedy any such Default, except in the case of any Default presenting a clear and present danger to life or property, which Tenant shall cure immediately upon request of Landlord or Managing Agent, written or otherwise. If such Default is not of an emergency nature, is other than due to the nonpayment of money, and shall be of a nature that the same cannot be substantially cured or remedied within said Cure Period, Tenant shall promptly give Landlord written notice of such fact, and Tenant shall diligently and in good faith proceed to remedy or cure such Default within a reasonable time, but in no event in excess of thirty (30) days. Neither the cost to Tenant of curing any Default nor Tenant’s financial or other inability to cure any Default (for whatever reason) shall operate to extend any Cure Period. Tenant’s failure to remedy such Default within the applicable time set forth in this Section shall be an “Event of Default”.

34.3 Tenant acknowledges that Landlord is obligated to make timely payments on obligations arising out of its ownership, operation, and financing of the Real Estate. In the event that the payment of any sum required to be paid by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease (including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Minimum Rent, additional rent, payment made by Landlord under any provision of this Lease for which Landlord is entitled to reimbursement by Xxxxxx, or for construction or other work performed by Landlord or its contractor specifically for Tenant) is not received by Landlord in good funds within seven (7) business days after the date on which it is due and payable or should any check from Tenant be returned to Landlord as uncollectible, then, notwithstanding any notice provision or Cure Period, Tenant shall pay Landlord, as additional rent, interest (“Interest”) at an annual rate equal to five hundred (500) basis points over the prime rate announced from time-to-time by Citibank, NA (or any successor thereto) (but subject to any maximum interest permitted by Law) on any amounts not received by Landlord from the date on which they became due and payable until the date they are received in full. In the event of nonpayment of any Interest provided for above, Landlord shall have, in addition to all other rights and remedies, all the rights and remedies provided for herein and by Law in the case of nonpayment of rent. Failure by Landlord or Managing Agent to insist upon the strict performance by Tenant of Tenant’s obligations to pay any Interest shall not constitute a waiver by Landlord of its rights to enforce the provisions of this Section in any instance thereafter occurring. Neither the provisions of this Section nor Tenant’s payment of any Interest shall be construed in any way to extend any time period provided for in this Lease or to Limit Landlord’s other remedies hereunder. Tenant’s obligation to pay any Interest as provided in this Section shall continue beyond the expiration or sooner termination or this Lease.

34.4 In addition to the provisions of Section 34.3, should Minimum Rent be received by Landlord or Managing Agent later than the first day of the month on which it is due twice or more in any twelve-month period, Landlord may, in addition to all other rights and remedies provided herein and by Law, require that Tenant either (1) increase the amount of the Security by an additional amount equal to three (3) months’ of the then applicable Adjusted Minimum Rent or (2) deposit such amount as Security if none has previously been paid.

35. REMEDIES FOR EVENTS OF DEFAULT

35.1 Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default hereunder, Landlord may, in addition to all other rights and remedies provided herein or at Law or in equity, exercise any or all of the following remedies:

(a) Landlord may give a written notice of termination upon Tenant setting forth a date, no fewer than five (5) business days from the date of the giving of such notice, terminating this Lease and/or Tenant’s right to use and occupy the Demised Premises. Upon the expiration of such period, this Lease and the term hereof, or the right of Tenant or any Sublessee to use and occupy the Demised Premises, as the case may be, shall terminate and expire as fully and completely as if the day on which said notice of cancellation is to be effective were the Expiration Date, and Tenant shall then peaceably quit and surrender the Demised Premises to Landlord, but Tenant shall remain liable as herein provided. Landlord may also, without further notice, re-enter the Demised Premises and repossess same by summary proceedings or ejectment or otherwise and/or may dispossess the Tenant and remove the Tenant and all other persons and property from the Demised Premises and may have, hold, use and enjoy the Demised Premises and the right to receive all rental income therefrom.

(b) Landlord may (1) declare all Minimum Rent and all other sums due and payable hereunder immediately due and payable; (2) re-let or sublet the Demised Premises or any part or parts thereof, in the name of Tenant, Landlord or otherwise, for a term or terms, which may at Landlord’s option be less than, equal to, or exceed the period which would otherwise have constituted the balance of the term of this Lease, and Landlord may grant concessions or free rent or charge such higher or lower rental as may be reasonable under the circumstances; (3) recover from Tenant any commission paid by Landlord to Broker on account of this Lease for the current term; (4) collect rental payments directly from any Sublessee, upon written notice to such Sublessee directing it to make such payment strictly to Landlord (5) cancel any option to renew, extend or cancel this Lease or expand or contract the Demised Premises which Tenant may have; (6) cancel any right of first refusal or first offer held by Xxxxxx; and/or (7) if such Event of Default occurs during the Initial Term, recover any Construction Credit and/or any Rental Credit.

(c) Landlord may require Tenant or the legal representative(s) of Tenant immediately to pay to Landlord a sum (the “Accelerated Rent”) which, at the time of the Event of Default, equals the aggregate Minimum Rent payable hereunder which would have become payable by Tenant hereunder through the day previously set as the Expiration Date. Such Accelerated Rent shall be held by Landlord and applied by Landlord on a monthly basis to any deficiency between the Minimum Rent or any other monies hereby reserved and/or covenanted to be paid by Tenant and the net amount, if any, of the rents collected on account of any re-letting or sub- letting of the Demised Premises for each month of the period which would otherwise have constituted the balance of the term of this Lease. The failure of Landlord to re-let or sublet the Demised Premises or any part or parts thereof shall not release or affect

Tenant’s obligations or liability hereunder. In computing any such deficiencies, there shall be added thereto such expenses as Landlord may reasonably incur in connection with re-letting or subletting or attempting to relet or sublet the Demised Premises, including but not limited to, legal expenses, attorney’s fees, brokerage fees, advertising expenses and expenses incurred in connection with the marketing, showing, fix-up, cleaning, repair or maintenance of the Demised Premises including those for preparation of the Demised Premises for re-letting or subletting and the removal of Tenant’s property, fixtures or other improvements therefrom. In connection with Landlord’s preparation of the Demised Premises for re-letting or subletting, Landlord may, at its option, make such alterations, repairs, replacements, and/or decorations in the Demised Premises as Landlord, in Landlord’s reasonable discretion, considers advisable and necessary for the purpose of re-letting or subletting the Demised Premises, and the making of such alterations, repairs, replacements, and/or decorations shall not operate or be construed to release Tenant from liability hereunder. Landlord shall in no event be liable in any way whatsoever for failure to re-let or sublet the Demised Premises, or in the event that the Demised Premises are re-let or sublet, for failure to collect the rent under such re-letting or subletting, and in no event shall Tenant be entitled to receive any excess, if any, of such net rents collected over the sums payable by Tenant to Landlord hereunder. If the Demised Premises or any part thereof should be re-let or sublet in combination with the other space, then proper apportionment on a square-foot basis shall be made of the rent received from such re-letting and of the expenses of re-letting.

35.2 Intentionally Deleted Prior To Execution.

35.3 In the event of a breach or threatened breach by Tenant of any of the covenants or provisions hereof, Landlord shall have the right of injunction and the right to invoke any remedy allowed at Law or in equity as if re-entry, summary proceedings and other remedies were not provided for herein.

35.4 Any suit or suits for the recovery of monies due Landlord hereunder may be brought by Landlord from time to time at its election, and nothing contained herein shall be deemed to require Landlord to postpone suit until the date when the term of this Lease otherwise would have expired. Mention in this Lease of any particular remedy shall not preclude Landlord from any other remedy, at Law or in equity. Nothing herein contained shall be construed to limit or preclude recovery by Landlord against Tenant for any sums or damages to which, in addition to the sums particularly provided above, Landlord may lawfully be entitled by reason of any Default hereunder on the part of Tenant.

35.5 Nothing herein contained shall be construed to limit or prejudice the right of Landlord to prove for and obtain as actual, direct and foreseeable damages, punitive damages and/or liquidated damages for any Event of Default of Tenant under this Lease, an amount equal to the maximum allowed by any Law governing the proceedings in which such damages are to be proved, or in equity, whether or not such amount be greater, equal to, or less than any of the sums referred to in this Article.

35.6 Tenant, for Tenant, and on behalf of any and all persons claiming through or under Tenant, including but not limited to Sublessees, creditors, trustees, security holders and representatives of all kinds, does hereby waive and surrender all right and privilege which they or any of them might have under or by reason of any present or future Law, to redeem the Demised Premises or to have a continuance of this Lease for the term hereby demised after being dispossessed or ejected therefrom by process of law or under the terms of this Lease or after the termination of this Lease as herein provided.

36. LANDLORD’S PERFORMANCE; EXPENDITURES

36.1 If an Event of Default shall occur under this Lease, Landlord, without thereby waiving such Event of Default, may (but shall not be obligated to) immediately or at any time thereafter, without further notice, perform the same for the account and at the expense of Tenant.

36.2 Tenant shall also promptly reimburse Landlord for all costs, expenses and disbursements of every kind and nature whatsoever reasonably incurred by Landlord, including, but not limited to, attorney’s fees, involved in (a) instituting, prosecuting or defending any action or proceeding against Tenant in which Tenant fails to prevail; (b) collecting or endeavoring to collect the Minimum Rent or additional rent or any part thereof or any other money payable by Tenant hereunder; or (c) enforcing or endeavoring to enforce any rights of Landlord against Tenant, under or in connection with this Lease or pursuant to Law, including any such cost, expense and disbursement involved in instituting and prosecuting summary proceedings. Any bills for any property, material, labor or services provided, furnished, or rendered by Landlord pursuant to this Article shall be obligations of Tenant.

36.3 The foregoing expenses incurred by Landlord shall be deemed to be additional rent hereunder and shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord within thirty (30) days of rendition of any bill or statement to Tenant therefor. The obligations of Tenant to pay such sums to Landlord shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease, and such sums shall be thereafter recoverable by Landlord or its agent or representative.

37. ACCORD AND SATISFACTION

37.1 No payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord or its employee or agent of a lesser amount than the rent and additional charges payable hereunder shall be deemed to be other than a payment on account to be credited against monies owed Landlord hereunder, in such order as Landlord may reasonably determine, nor shall any restrictive endorsement, statement or name on any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment delivered to Landlord or its employee or agent be deemed, declared or interpreted an accord and satisfaction; and Landlord or its agent may accept and deposit such check or payment without notice to Tenant, without same operating as a satisfaction or an acceptance of satisfaction by Landlord or its employee or agent, and without prejudice to Xxxxxxxx’s right to recover the balance of any monies due hereunder, or to pursue any other remedy provided herein or by Law.

38. EFFECT OF WAIVERS

38.1 No failure by Xxxxxxxx to insist upon the strict performance of any covenant, agreement, term or condition of this Lease, or to exercise any right or remedy permitted hereunder, and no acceptance of full or partial rent during the continuance of any such Default, shall constitute a waiver of any such Default or of such covenant, agreement, term or condition. No consent or waiver, express or implied, by Landlord or its employee or agent to or of any Default, and no reliance by Tenant thereon, shall be construed as a consent or waiver to or of any other Default of the same or any other covenant, condition or duty, unless in writing signed by Landlord.

39. BANKRUPTCY; INSOLVENCY

39.1 Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Lease may be cancelled by Landlord by the sending of a written five (5) day notice of cancellation to Tenant within a reasonable time after the happening of any one or more of the following events: (1) the appointment of a trustee, custodian, liquidator, receiver or other similar official to take possession of all or

substantially all of the assets of Tenant or of the Demised Premises; (2) the making by Tenant of an assignment or any other arrangement for the benefit of creditors pursuant to any Law; (3) the filing by Xxxxxx, or the public announcement of the intent to file, of a voluntary petition pursuant to 11 U.S.C. 101 et seq. and the Rules and Official Forms thereunder or any such successor or substitute legislation or rule thereto, or any similar federal or state law collectively (the “Bankruptcy Code”) seeking any reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or similar relief thereunder; (4) the adjudication of Tenant as a bankrupt or insolvent; (5) the failure of Tenant or any guarantor of the Tenant’s obligations hereunder to pay debts generally as they become due. Landlord’s statutory liens for rent shall be honored by Xxxxxx and any trustee, representative or creditor of Tenant.

39.2 If Landlord shall have no right to terminate this Lease by reason of the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, Tenant or its trustee or other representative shall promptly provide adequate protection to Landlord pursuant to the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code.

(a) Tenant or its trustee shall promptly accept or reject this Lease. Any Lease not assumed or rejected within sixty (60) days after an order for relief is entered shall be deemed rejected, and the trustee shall immediately surrender the Demised Premises to Landlord.

(b) If Tenant shall not be in liquidation, Tenant or its trustee shall assume or reject the Lease as soon as such decision can reasonably be made, and shall compensate Landlord for the use and occupancy of the Demised Premises monthly in advance until such decision is made.

(c) This Lease may not be assumed, unless at the time of such assumption, the trustee or assignee shall promptly (1) cure or provide adequate assurance that it will promptly cure any Default(s) under this Lease; (2) compensate or provide adequate assurance that it shall compensate Landlord for any actual or pecuniary loss to Landlord resulting from such Default(s); (3) provide adequate assurance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord of future performance under this Lease; and (4) compensate Landlord for all post-filing use and occupancy of the Demised Premises, and shall timely perform all of Tenant’s other obligations hereunder.

39.3 If this Lease is assigned to any person or entity pursuant to the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, Tenant or its legal representative shall give prompt written notice thereof to Landlord along with adequate assurance of future performance by the assignee. Any and all monies or other consideration to be delivered in connection with the assignment shall be delivered to Landlord, and shall be and remain the exclusive property of Landlord to be applied to post-filing use and occupancy payments to Landlord or other monies owed by Tenant to Landlord and shall not constitute property of Tenant or of the estate of Tenant. Any person or entity to which this Lease is assigned pursuant to the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code shall be deemed to have assumed all of the obligations arising under this Lease on and after the date of such assignment, and shall upon demand execute and deliver to Landlord an instrument confirming that assumption.

40. STATUTORY WAIVER; WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY

40.1 Tenant acknowledges that its possession, use and peaceful enjoyment of the Demised Premises is conditioned upon Xxxxxx’s timely performing all of its obligations hereunder, including but not limited to the payment of all Minimum Rent, as set forth in Section 5.3. In consideration thereof, Tenant hereby waives its right under N.J.S.A. 2A:18-60 or other similar statutes to remove any action for non-payment of Minimum Rent brought by Landlord or its Managing Agent pursuant to N.J.S.A. 2A:18-53 to

another court. Any other matter mentioned in any such action brought by Landlord under the latter statute shall not waive Landlord’s or Xxxxxx’s right to bring a separate action in the proper court for monies due and owing either party hereunder; nor shall Landlord be prohibited from instituting a dispossess action for nonpayment of monies other than Minimum Rent.

40.2 To the extent such waiver is permitted by Law, the parties hereto waive trial by jury in any action or proceeding brought in connection with this Lease or the Real Estate or any portion thereof.

40.3 Tenant waives the benefit of N.J.S.A. 46:8-6 and 46:8-7, as same may be amended.

41. SUBORDINATION OF LEASE; ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES

41.1 This Lease is subject and subordinate to all ground or underlying leases and to all deeds of trust or mortgages which may now or hereafter affect the Real Estate, including all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions of any such underlying leases, deeds of trust and mortgages. This clause shall be self-operative and no further instrument of subordination shall be required by any Land Lessor or by any mortgagee in order to effectuate such subordination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall execute and promptly deliver to Landlord or its agent within five (5) business days any instrument that Landlord or its agent, as the case may be, may reasonably request confirming the subordination of this Lease.

41.2 If any lender shall request reasonable modifications of this Lease as a condition of Landlord’s obtaining any financing or refinancing of the Building, the Real Estate and/or any interest of Landlord in either, Tenant covenants not to unreasonably withhold or delay its agreement to such modification provided that such modification does not materially or adversely affect the rights of Tenant under this Lease.

41.3 Xxxxxx agrees to give any mortgagee, deed of trust holder, or Land Lessor by certified mail, a copy of any notice and a right to cure any default of Landlord, provided that, prior to such notice, Tenant has been notified in writing (by way of notice of assignment of rents and leases, or otherwise) of the address of such mortgagee, deed of trust holder, or Land Lessor. Xxxxxx further agrees that so long as any mortgagee, deed of trust holder or Land Lessor has commenced and is diligently pursuing the remedies necessary to cure such default (including but not limited to commencement of foreclosure proceedings, if necessary to effect such cure), Tenant shall not seek to terminate this Lease.

41.4 Tenant agrees at any time and from time to time, upon not less than ten (10) days’ prior written request from Landlord or Managing Agent, that Tenant shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord, or its designee, a statement in writing certifying (a) that this Lease is unmodified and is in full force and effect (or if there have been modifications, the specifics thereof and that the Lease is in full force and effect as modified); (b) the dates to which the Minimum Rent and additional rent have been paid; the amount of all rents paid in advance, if any; and any other information that Landlord or Managing Agent shall reasonably request. Xxxxxx further agrees to furnish Landlord or Managing Agent upon written request at any time such information and assurances as Landlord or Managing Agent, as the case may be, may reasonably request that Xxxxxx has not breached any of the provisions of this Lease. It is intended hereby that any such statement delivered pursuant to this Article may be relied upon by a prospective purchaser or mortgagee of Landlord’s interest, or any assignee of any mortgage upon Xxxxxxxx’s interests in the Real Estate. The foregoing obligation shall be deemed a material obligation of Tenant. Tenant’s failure to timely deliver such statement shall be conclusive evidence (x) that this Lease is

in full force and effect, without modification except as may be represented by Landlord; (y) that there are no uncured defaults in Landlord’s performance and Tenant has no right of offset, counterclaim, defenses or deduction against the Minimum Rent, additional rent or against Landlord; and (z) that no more than one month’s installment of Minimum Rent has been paid in advance.

41.5 In the event a financing institution, such as, but not limited to, a bank, insurer or institutional investor, or an entity contemplating the acquisition of an interest in the Building, such as, but not limited to, an individual, corporation, partnership or limited liability company (hereafter collectively referred to as “Financial Organizations”) requires information regarding the financial status of Tenant (or any of Tenant’s Sublessees), Landlord shall so notify Tenant in writing, supplying Tenant with the name and telephone number of a representative of such Financial Organization. Upon receipt of such notification, Xxxxxx will promptly telephone such representative and arrange on a date promptly after such telephone call, a meeting between Xxxxxx’s Treasurer and the representative of such Financial Organization. At such meeting any representative of the Financial Organization may review necessary documents pertaining to Tenant’s financial status (or to any of Tenant’s Sublessees) and Tenant’s Treasurer shall satisfy any other financially related informational needs of the Financial Organization’s representative in connection with Xxxxxx’s financial status or that of Tenant’s Sublessees. At such meeting, Xxxxxx’s Treasurer shall produce for inspection all necessary documents pertaining to Tenant’s financial status or that of Tenant’s Sublessees. Tenant represents that it shall diligently and in good faith promptly cooperate with all reasonable requests of the Financial Organization. In no event, however, will such Financial Organization be provided copies of any financial statements of Tenant. All the foregoing obligations of Tenant contained in this Section shall be deemed a material obligation of Tenant.

41.6 With respect to all mortgages which may now or hereafter affect this Lease or the Building, Landlord, only after receipt of a written notice from Tenant specifically referencing this Section, shall use reasonable efforts (at no cost or expense to Landlord) to obtain a non-disturbance and attornment agreement in recordable form from the holder of any such mortgage, providing in substance that so long as Tenant shall have entered into possession and occupancy of the Demised Premises and commenced payment of Minimum Rent and additional rent due hereunder, and so long as no Event of Default then exists, Xxxxxx’s possession of the Demised Premises will not be disturbed during the term hereof, notwithstanding the foreclosure of any such mortgage, and Tenant will not be named as a party defendant in any foreclosure proceedings brought for the recovery of possession, it being hereby covenanted and agreed by Tenant that the holder of any such mortgage, or anyone claiming by, through or under said holder shall not be (i) liable for any act or omission of any prior landlord (including Landlord), or (ii) subject to any offsets or defenses which Tenant might have against any prior landlord (including Landlord), or (iii) bound by any Minimum Rent or additional rent or other charges which Tenant might have paid for more than the current month to a prior landlord (including Landlord), or (iv) bound by any modifications of this Lease (made on or after the date the non-disturbance and attornment agreement has been fully executed and unconditionally delivered among the parties thereto) without the prior written consent of such mortgagee.

41.7 The failure of Landlord to obtain a non-disturbance and attornment agreement shall not be deemed a default on Landlord’s part of its obligations under Section 41.6 hereof, or impose any claim in favor of Tenant against Landlord by reason thereof, or affect the validity of this Lease. Xxxxxx agrees to (i) execute and deliver to any mortgagee a non-disturbance and attornment agreement in form and substance satisfactory to and customarily adopted by such mortgagee and (ii) pay Landlord for all expenses reasonably incurred by Landlord in connection therewith, including legal expenses.

If, within one hundred twenty (120) days after such meeting is concluded, Xxxxxxxx has failed to commence a course of action intended to remedy the sources of Xxxxxx’s dissatisfaction with Xxxxxxxx’s Managing Agent, Tenant may request in writing that Landlord (1) dismiss its existing Managing Agent and (2) engage a company reasonably satisfactory to both Landlord and Tenant as a substitute Managing Agent. If Landlord receives such a written request from Tenant and Xxxxxx has not breached any term of the Lease, then, Landlord and Tenant shall in good faith jointly endeavor to identify a reputable, qualified and experienced management company interested in being retained by Landlord as its Managing Agent. Only if both Landlord and Tenant approve in writing such Building management company, then, Landlord shall hire that company at Tenant’s expense, as Landlord’s Managing Agent. The fees, salaries and other compensation of the Managing Agent hired by Landlord shall constitute an Operating Cost. Any expense that Landlord reasonably incurs as a result of dismissing its existing Managing Agent (or any laborer, materialman or service provider) and any expense that Landlord reasonably incurs as a result of engaging a substitute Managing Agent (or any laborer, materialman or service provider) shall constitute an Operating Cost.

46.2 In accordance with the foregoing representation, Xxxxxx agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Landlord, its affiliates and/or subsidiaries, partners and officers from any legal action, expense or liability (including attorney’s fees) arising out of any claim for commission by any person other than the Broker claiming or alleging to have acted on behalf of or to have dealt with Tenant.

50.1 The provisions of this Lease shall apply to, bind and inure to the benefit of Landlord and Xxxxxx, and their respective heirs, legal representatives, trustees, successors and assigns, subject to the constraints on alienation and limits on liability contained herein.

51. RENEWAL OPTION

51.1 Subject to the provisions of Section 51.2 below,

Tenant shall have the option to renew this Lease for the number of Renewal Terms set forth in Section 1.1(t) (the “Renewal Options”), the first of which Renewal Terms shall commence upon the expiration of the Initial Term. Subject to the determination of Minimum Rent as set forth below, the terms, covenants and conditions during the Initial Term shall be projected and carried over into each subsequent renewal term (a “Renewal Term”), except as specifically set forth hereinafter to the contrary.

51.2 Tenant’s Renewal Options, as provided in Sections 1.l and 51.1 above, shall be strictly conditioned upon and subject to the following, each of which shall be considered material hereto:

(a) Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing (“Tenant’s Renewal Notice”) of Xxxxxx’s exercise of its option to renew this Lease at least nine (9) months, but not more than twelve (12) months, prior to the expiration of the then current Term;

(b) At the time Landlord receives Tenant’s Renewal Notice as provided in Section 51.2 (a) above, and at the expiration of the Initial Term or the first Renewal Term, as the case may be, Tenant shall not be in Default under the terms or provisions of this Lease, and the Tenant named in Section 1.1 hereof shall be in occupancy of the entire Demised Premises. The conditions contained in this Section 51.2 (b) may be waived by Landlord at its sole discretion and may not be used by Tenant as a means to negate the effectiveness of Tenant’s exercise of this option to renew;

(c) Tenant shall have no further renewal option other than the options to extend for the Renewal Terms as set forth in Section 1.1(t);

(d) Any Renewal Options shall be deemed personal to the Tenant named on the first page of this Lease and may not be assigned or assumed;

(e) Landlord shall have no obligation to do any work or perform any special services for any Renewal Term with respect to the Demised Premises or the remainder of the Real Estate, which Xxxxxx agrees to accept in their then “as is” condition;

(f) At the request of either party, Landlord and Tenant shall promptly execute and return to the other party a written amendment to this Lease memorializing the commencement, Minimum Rent payable, and Expiration Date of the respective Renewal Term; and

(g) No later than thirty (30) days prior to the commencement of any Renewal Term, Tenant shall deposit with Landlord such additional sums as may be required to increase any Security then held by Landlord proportionate to the increase in the Minimum Rent during that Renewal Term.

51.3 (a) Landlord shall notify Tenant (“Landlord’s Determination Notice”) of Landlord’s determination of the Market Rent (as hereinafter defined) within thirty (30) days after Xxxxxxxx’s receipt of Tenant’s Renewal Notice. If Tenant disagrees with Xxxxxxxx’s determination of Market Rent, Tenant shall notify Landlord (“Tenant’s Notice of Disagreement”) within fifteen (15) days of receipt of Landlord’s Determination Notice. Time shall be of the essence with respect to Xxxxxx’s Notice of Disagreement, and the failure of Tenant to give such notice specifically as provided below within the time period set forth above shall conclusively be deemed an acceptance by Tenant of the Market Rent as determined by Landlord and a waiver by Tenant of any right to dispute such Market Rent.

(b) Tenant’s Notice of Disagreement, shall contain either (1) a cancellation of Tenant’s exercise of its Renewal

Option (which cancellation shall operate as a cancellation of all subsequent Renewal Options, if any), or (2) a request to submit the determination of Market Rent to arbitration as provided below.

(c) Landlord and Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days of the date on which Xxxxxx’s Notice of Disagreement under Subsection 51.3(b)(2) is given, each appoint an Appraiser (hereinafter defined) for the purpose of determining the Market Rent. An “Appraiser” shall mean a duly qualified impartial real estate appraiser having at least ten (10) years’ experience in the area in which the Demised Premises are located. In the event that the two (2) Appraisers so appointed fail to agree as to the Market Rent within a period of thirty (30) days after the appointment of the second Appraiser, such two (2) Appraisers shall forthwith appoint a third Appraiser who alone shall make a determination of Market Rent within thirty (30) days thereafter. If such two Appraisers fail to agree upon such third Appraiser within ten (10) days following the last thirty (30) day period, such third Appraiser shall be appointed by the presiding Judge of the Superior Court of the State of New Jersey for the County in which the Real Estate is located. Such two Appraisers or third Appraiser, as the case may be, shall proceed with all reasonable dispatch to determine the Market Rent. The decision of such two Appraisers or third Appraiser shall be final and shall be unappealable, absent any showing of fraud by such Appraiser(s) ; such decision shall be in writing and a copy shall be delivered simultaneously to Landlord and to Tenant.

(d) If such two Appraisers or third Appraiser, as the case may be, shall fail to deliver a decision as set forth above prior to the commencement of any Renewal Term, Tenant shall continue to pay to Landlord thereafter on the first day of each month, until the decision of the Appraiser(s) is rendered, the Minimum Rent payable under this Lease as of the last day of the term preceding the Renewal Term in question plus any amounts payable by Tenant pursuant to Article 6, until such decision is so delivered. Once the rental is determined for the Renewal Term by the Appraiser(s), an equitable adjustment, if necessary and appropriate, shall be computed and promptly remitted to the party entitled to same.

(e) Landlord and Tenant shall be responsible for and shall pay the fee of the Appraiser appointed by each of them respectively, and Landlord and Tenant shall share equally the fee of the third Appraiser, if any.

(f) Promptly upon determination of the Market Rent for the respective Renewal Term, Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord or Managing Agent an amendment to this Lease prepared by Landlord setting forth the terms of the respective Renewal Term.

51.4 (a) The Minimum Rent during each Renewal Term shall be the greater of (1) Market Rent (as defined in clause (b) below) or (2) the Minimum Rent as of the last day of the immediately-preceding term.

(b) For purposes of this Article, “Market Rent” shall mean the projected fair market rent for office space containing the Rentable size of the Demised Premises (during the respective Renewal Term), as of the commencement date of the applicable Renewal Term, based upon the rents generally in effect for first class office space in the area in which the Real Estate is located. Market Rent shall be determined on what is commonly known as a “net” basis; that is, in computing Market Rent, it shall be assumed that all real estate taxes and operating expenditures are passed through to the Tenant as separate additional charges.

(c) The Minimum Rent for each the Renewal Term shall be increased from time to time thereafter as provided in this Lease, including as provided in Article 6 hereof.

Tenant waives any claims or action against Landlord or its successor in title in the event that the renewal provided for in this Lease is made impossible because of the taking of the Demised Premises in whole or in part for public use by condemnation. Xxxxxx further agrees to waive any demand or claim for any award or allowance or any part thereof granted to Landlord as compensation for such condemnation.

52. EXTERIOR SIGNAGE

52.1 Landlord, at Xxxxxx’s sole cost and expense and only after Landlord receives from Tenant plans and specifications acceptable to Landlord, shall include the name and corporate logotype of Tenant on a portion of the remaining unused facia of the outside Building identification monument (the “Monument”) that stands on the Real Estate as of the Commencement Date. Landlord shall determine in its reasonable discretion (after consultation with Tenant) the color, size and style of any signage on the Monument. Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, fully and promptly cooperate with Landlord in connection with Xxxxxxxx’s efforts to obtain any necessary municipal approvals. If Tenant (i) breaches any term of the Lease, (ii) assigns the Lease, (iii) sublets all or any part of the Demised Premises and/or (iv) for any reason whatsoever occupies less than the entire Building, then, (A) Tenant shall have no rights and Landlord shall have no obligations under this Section and (B) if Tenant has already exercised its rights under this Section, then, Landlord may, at Tenant’s expense, remove the name and/or corporate logotype of Tenant from the Monument and may restore, at Xxxxxx’s sole expense, any damage or injury that said removal may have caused. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease, Landlord may, at Xxxxxx’s expense, remove Xxxxxx’s name and/or logotype from the Monument and may restore, at Tenant’s sole expense, any damage or injury that said removal may have caused. Tenant’s obligation to pay Landlord in accordance with this Section shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. If, by the date falling ten (10) days after the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease, (I) Tenant’s name and corporate logotype are not removed from the Monument and (II) all damage or injury that said removal may have caused is not fully restored, then, Landlord may deem Tenant as a holdover tenant from said tenth (10th) day and hold Tenant liable under Article 21 hereof.

53. CHANGES IN BUILDING SERVICE

53.1 So long as (i) Tenant has not breached any term of the Lease and (ii) the Building is entirely occupied by Xxxxxx, then, Tenant may request that Landlord diminish, expand or otherwise modify any or all of the Building services described in Articles 24, 26 and 27 hereof and Exhibit C hereof. Subject to the prior sentence and provided the proposed diminution, expansion or modification of Building services is acceptable to Landlord, Landlord shall implement said change in Building services, in which case, Tenant shall be obligated for the balance of the Term of the Lease to pay Landlord, as an Operating Cost, any expense Landlord incurs in (a) altering its then existing level of Building service and (b) furnishing the new level of Building service. Should Tenant cease to occupy the entire Building, Landlord reserves the right to reasonably change the character and/or scope of any Building service so as to furnish Tenant with Landlord’s then standard level of Building service.

53.2 If, however, Landlord receives from Tenant, within thirty (30) days after Tenant ceases to occupy the entire Building, a written notice requesting that Landlord continue to maintain for the balance of the term any above-standard Building service which Landlord had been providing prior to the date Tenant ceased to occupy the entire Building, then, in that case, Landlord shall continue to maintain said above-standard Building service, provided (1) Tenant has not breached any term of the Lease and, (2) Tenant pays upon demand as additional rent one hundred percent (100%) of

all costs whatsoever that Landlord incurs from time-to-time during the balance of the term in providing said above-standard Building service. To the extent an above-standard Building service affects tenant space, Tenant agrees that, subject to the terms of this Section, Landlord’s obligation to continue providing such above-standard Building service after Tenant ceases to occupy the entire Building shall apply only to those portions of the Building occupied exclusively by Tenant. Should Landlord determine that an above-standard Building service is inappropriate for a multi-tenant building or in any way interferes with Landlord’s ability to market all or any part of the Building, then, notwithstanding anything contained to the contrary in this Section, Landlord, after giving Tenant prior written notice, may discontinue providing any above-standard Building service.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have entered into this Lease as of the day first set forth above.
