6. Alterations and Improvements
-1-
No alterations or additions may be made on the leased premises without the prior written
consent of Landlord. Any alterations or additions made to the premises including improvements and
alterations made by Tenant with the consent of Landlord shall, at Landlord’s option, become part of
the building and belong to Landlord. Any alterations or additions to the premises consented to by
Landlord and made by Tenant, unless designated by Landlord to become part of the realty and
Landlord’s property, shall be removed by Tenant and the leased premises restored to its previous
condition by the expiration of the Lease term. Landlord agrees to designate that property which

7. Utilities
Tenant shall pay all utility expenses, including but not limited to water, sewer, electric and
gas. Landlord shall not be held liable to Tenant, nor shall this Lease, nor Tenant’s obligations
under this Lease, be impaired or abated in the event of the failure of any utility service to the
leased premises.
8. Additional Rent.
(a) Breach. Tenant agrees to pay as rent in addition to the Minimum Rent any and
all sums which may become due by reason of the failure of Tenant to comply with all of the
covenants of this Lease and any and all damages, costs and expenses, including reasonable
attorney’s fees, which the Landlord may suffer or incur by reason of such default, and also any and
all damages to the leased premises caused by any act or neglect of the Tenant.
(b) Taxes, Assessments, Etc. Tenant will duly and promptly pay as additional rent to
Landlord, as the same shall become due and payable and before they become delinquent, all taxes,
rates, assessments and other governmental charges, and charges of every kind and nature whatsoever,
nonrecurring as well as recurring, special or extraordinary as well as ordinary, foreseen and
unforeseen, and each and every installment thereof, which shall or may during the term of the Lease
be levied, assessed or imposed, or become due and payable or become liens upon, or arise in
connection with the use, occupancy or possession of, or any interest in, the Leased premises, or
upon the rents, issues, income and profits therefrom so as to prevent the same from becoming or
being an enforceable lien or claim against the property or the interest of Landlord (“Expenses”).
Landlord shall apply such payment by Tenant to the payment of such Expenses, but in no event shall
Landlord be required to pay such Expenses early or during discount periods. As provided
hereinabove, such Expenses shall include all real estate taxes, assessments, water and sewer
charges which may become liens upon the Leased premises or any part thereof. If Landlord requests
Tenant to pay such Expenses other than to Landlord, Tenant will furnish or cause to be furnished to
Landlord within fifteen (15) days of written notice, receipts or other evidence satisfactory to
Landlord of the payment of all such Expenses. If Landlord requests in writing, Tenant shall pay to
Landlord, or as Landlord may direct, such Expenses in advance in installments as estimated and
determined by Landlord, and deposited with Landlord, or as directed by Landlord, for payment of all
such Expenses when the same may become due and payable.
In case of failure of the Tenant to make any of the payments to be made by Tenant for such
Expenses, the Landlord may, but shall not be required to, pay the amount of same, with penalty and
interest thereon, if any. The amount so paid by the Landlord, with interest at the rate of ten
(10%) percent thereon from the date of payment thereof by the Landlord, shall be added to and
become a part of the next installment of rent.
If at any time during the term of this Lease the methods of taxation prevailing at the
commencement of the term hereof shall be altered so that in lieu of or as a supplement
to or a substitute for the whole or any part of the real estate taxes or assessments now
levied, assessed or imposed (1) a tax, assessment, levy, imposition or charge, wholly or
partially as a capital levy or otherwise, on the rents received therefrom or (2) a tax,
assessment, levy (including but not limited to any municipal, state or federal levy),
-2-
imposition or charge measured by or based in whole or in part upon the premises and imposed upon
the Landlord, or (3) a license fee measured by the rent payable under this Lease, then all such
taxes, assessments, levies or impositions and charges, or the part thereof so measured or based
shall be deemed to be included in the general real estate taxes and assessments payable by the
Tenant pursuant hereto to the extent that such taxes, assessments, levies, impositions and charges
would be payable if the premises were the only property of the Landlord subject thereto, and the
Tenant shall pay and discharge the same as herein provided in respect of the payment of general
real estate taxes and assessments.
(c) Insurance. Landlord shall keep all buildings and improvements now or
hereafter erected upon the leased premises, insured for the benefit of Landlord
against loss by fire and other casualties and hazards usually covered by
extended coverage insurance in an amount not less than the replacement value of
the leased premises (excluding foundations and other parts below the surface of
the lowest floor), as determined not more than once annually by an appraiser or
rating bureau satisfactory to Landlord. Tenant agrees that it will, throughout
the Lease Term, pay and discharge as additional rent, the cost incurred by
Landlord in insuring the Leased premises. It is expressly understood and agreed
that if for any reason attributable to Tenant it shall be impossible to obtain
Fire Insurance on the building and improvements on the Leased premises in an
amount and in the form and with fire insurance companies acceptable to the
Landlord, the Landlord may, if the Landlord elects (a) terminate this Lease and
the term thereof on giving to the Tenant fifteen (15) days’ notice in writing of
Landlord’s intention so to do and upon the giving of such notice this lease and
the terms thereof, shall terminate and come to an end; (b) compute the
additional costs for such insurance over and above the standard cost as if the
condition attributable to Tenant did not exist and Tenant shall be obligated to
pay all such additional cost.
(1) Tenant shall also provide at its sole cost and expense, any insurance
on improvements made to or inside the leased premises by Tenant. Such policy shall name as insured
Landlord and Tenant, as their interests may appear and shall name Landlord’s first mortgagee, if
any, as mortgagee. A copy of such policy shall be furnished to Landlord and Landlord’s first
mortgagee.
(2) Tenant at its own cost and expense will provide and keep in force
during the Leased Term of this Lease commercial general liability
insurance covering at least the hazards of “premises operations”,
“elevators” (if applicable) and “independent contractors”, in which
Landlord shall be included as a named insured, in such other limits of
liability as may be required by Landlord from time to time, but not less
than Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000.00) combined single limit, with a
deductible not to exceed Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000.00). Such
insurance shall cover not only the Leased premises but shall also include
all elevators, hoists, hallways, entranceways, stairs or any other common
areas (exterior or interior), streets, driveways, alleys, lawns, parking
and loading areas, sidewalks and curbs adjacent thereto.
(3) All such policies shall contain provision for notice to the said
Landlord not less than thirty (30) days in advance of any cancellation or
material change of such policy. In case of failure of the Tenant to make
premium payments when due, the Landlord may pay the amount of any such
premiums, which amount with interest thereon from the date of payment by
Landlord shall be added to and become part of the next installment of
rent.
(4) Copies of renewal policies or certificates for any insurance required under this Paragraph
shall be deposited by Tenant with Landlord prior to the expiration of existing policies, and upon
failure so to do Landlord may immediately purchase, for the account of Tenant, the necessary
insurance from any reputable insurance company without notice to Tenant, and Tenant shall reimburse
Landlord for cost thereof within ten (10) days after demand.
(5) All insurance required hereunder shall be issued by companies
licensed to do
business in New Jersey and acceptable to Landlord. Tenant shall have the
right to carry the insurance with all orders, regulations, rules and
requirements of every kind and nature relating to the Leased premises,
now or
-3-
hereafter in effect of the Federal, State, Municipal or other governmental authorities having power
to enact, adopt, impose or require the same, whether they be usual or unusual, ordinary or
extraordinary, and whether they or any of them relate to structural changes or requirements of
whatever nature or to changes or requirements incident thereto, or as the result of the use or
occupation thereof by Tenant, and the Tenant shall pay all costs and expenses incidental to such
compliance and shall indemnify and save harmless the Landlord from all expense and damages by
reason of any notices, orders, violations or penalties filed against or imposed upon the Leased
premises or against the Landlord as owner thereof, because of the failure of the Tenant to comply
with this covenant. Tenant further agrees to keep the leased premises clean and free from all
ashes, dirt and other refuse matter; replace all glass windows, doors, etc., which are broken; and
keep all waste and drain pipes open.
In the event of the failure of Tenant to perform the covenants of Paragraph 8 hereof
within thirty (30) days after prior written notice of failure to comply, except in the event
of an emergency for which no prior notice shall be required. Landlord may go upon the leased
premises and perform such covenants, the cost thereof, at the sole option of Landlord, to be
charged to Tenant as additional rent.
(d) Compliance. Comply with any requirements of any of the constituted public
authorities and with the terms of any State or Federal statute or local ordinance or regulation
applicable to Tenant or its use of the Leased premises and save Landlord harmless from penalties,
fines, costs or damages resulting from failure to do so.
(e) Fire. Use every reasonable precaution against fire.
(f) Surrender of Leased Premises. Peacefully deliver up and surrender possession of the
Leased premises to Landlord at or prior to the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease or
any renewal thereof, in the same good order and broom clean condition in which Tenant has herein
agreed to keep the same during the continuance of this Lease, reasonable wear and tear excepted.
Tenant will at or prior to the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease or any renewal
thereof, remove all of his property from the leased premises so that Landlord may again have and
repossess the same no later than the end of business on the day on which this Lease or any renewal
thereof shall terminate, and will immediately thereafter deliver to Landlord, at its office, all
keys for the leased premises.
(g) Notice of Casualty. Give to Landlord prompt written notice of any accident, fire
or damage occurring to the leased premises.
9. Damage and Destruction to Premises
In the event of (a) a partial destruction of the leased premises during the Lease term which
requires repairs to either the leased premises or the center, or (b) the leased premises or the
center being declared unsafe or unfit for occupancy by any authorized public authority for any
reason other than Tenant’s act, use or occupation, which declaration requires repairs to either the
leased premises or the center, Landlord shall make the repairs, provided that the damage is such,
in Landlord’s sole reasonable judgment, that under normal working conditions, repairs could be made
within one hundred eighty (180) days. Partial destruction (including any destruction necessary in
order to make repairs required by any declaration) shall not annul or void this Lease, except that
Tenant shall be entitled to a proportionate reduction of rent while such repairs are being made,
and such work or repair shall be commenced promptly after the nature of the damage and degree of
repair required is determined, any necessary permits from governmental authorities are obtained,
and if appropriate, insurance adjustments completed. The proportionate reduction is to be based
upon the extent to which the making of repairs shall interfere with the business carried on by
Tenant in the leased premises. In making repairs, Landlord shall be obligated to replace only such
glazing as shall have been damaged by fire and other damaged glazing shall be replaced by Tenant.
No penalty shall accrue against Landlord for reasonable delays resulting from adjustment of fire
insurance loss or for delays which result from labor troubles
-4-
or any other cause, event or circumstances beyond Landlord’s control. If the damage be such, in
nature or extent that repairs could not be made within one hundred eighty (180) days as aforesaid,
Landlord may, at its option, elect to proceed nonetheless to make same, this Lease continuing in
full force and effect and the rent proportionately abated, as in this Article provided. Any repairs
undertaken by Landlord in accordance with the foregoing shall be substantially completed as soon as
practicable. In the event that Landlord does not elect to make repairs which could not be made as
aforesaid within one hundred eighty (180) days, or repairs cannot be made under current laws and
regulations, this Lease may be terminated at the option of either party. A total destruction
(including any destruction required by any authorized public authority) of either the leased
premises or the center shall terminate this Lease.
10. Condemnation
If any part of the premises shall be taken or condemned for a public or quasi-public use, and
a part remains which is susceptible of occupation, this Lease shall, as to the part so taken,
terminate as of the date title shall vest in the condemnor, and the rent payable hereunder shall be
adjusted so that the Tenant shall be required to pay for the remainder of the Lease term only such
portion of such rent as the number of square feet in the part remaining after the condemnation
bears to the number of square feet in the entire leased premises at the date of condemnation; but
in such event, Landlord shall have the option to terminate this Lease as of the date when title to
the part so condemned vests in the condemnor. If all the leased premises, or such part thereof must
be taken or condemned so that there does not remain a portion susceptible for occupation, this
Lease shall terminate. If a part or all of the premises be taken or condemned, all compensation
awarded upon such condemnation or taking shall go to the Landlord and the Tenant shall have no
claim to such. Tenant hereby expressly waives, relinquishes and releases to Landlord any claim for
damages or other compensation to which Tenant might otherwise be entitled because of any such
taking or limitation of the leasehold estate hereby created and irrevocably assigns and transfers
to the Landlord any right to compensation or damages to which the Tenant may be entitled by reason
of the condemnation of all or a part of the premises or the leasehold estate.
11. Subordination, Estoppel Certificates
This Lease is subject and subordinate to all ground or underlying leases and to all
mortgages which may now or hereafter affect the real property of which the leased premises form a
part or Landlord’s leasehold interest therein, and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations,
replacements and extensions. This clause shall be self-operative and no further instrument of
subordination shall be required. In confirmation of such subordination, Tenant shall execute
promptly any certificate that Landlord may request. Tenant hereby constitutes and appoints Landlord
the Tenant’s attorney-in-fact to execute any such certificate or certificates for and on behalf of
Tenant. Tenant shall, at any time and from time to time upon not less than ten (10) days prior
written notice from Landlord, execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord a statement in form
reasonably required by Landlord, (i) certifying that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and
effect (or, if modified, stating the nature of such modification and certifying that this Lease as
so modified is in full force and effect) and the dates to which the rental and other charges are
paid in advance, if any; (ii) acknowledging that there are not, to Tenant’s knowledge, any uncured
defaults on the part of Landlord hereunder, or specifying such defaults if any as are claimed; and
(iii) any other certification reasonably required by any mortgagee, including agreements of no
set-off and release of liability as to such mortgagee and its successors. Any such statement may
be relied upon by any prospective purchaser or mortgagee of all or any portion of the real property
of which the leased premises are a part. Tenant’s failure to deliver such statement within such
time shall be conclusive upon Tenant (i) that this Lease is in full force and effect, without
modification except as may be represented by Landlord, (ii) that there are no uncured defaults in
Landlord’s performance, and (iii) that not more than one month’s rental has been paid in advance.
12. Non-Merger of Estates
-5-
The voluntary or involuntary surrender of this Lease by tenant, or an other termination
of this Lease shall not work a merger of estates and shall, at Landlord’s option, terminate all or
any existing subleases and/or all and any subtenancies or operate as an assignment to Landlord by
Tenant of any or all of such subleases or subtenancies.
13. Recording of Lease
Tenant agrees not to place this Lease on record without the consent of Landlord. At the
request of Tenant, Landlord will execute a memorandum for recording purposes setting forth the
leased premises and the Lease term but this memorandum shall contain no other provisions. All costs
shall be the responsibility of the Tenant.
14. Security Deposit
The deposit by Tenant of $-0- to Landlord is hereby acknowledged as security for the full
and faithful performance of all the covenants and conditions contained herein. Such sum shall be
returned to Tenant within thirty (30) days after the expiration of the term of this Lease, provided
that Tenant is not in breach of any covenants of this Lease, in default or in arrears in rent. In
the event of a default by Tenant, the Landlord shall not be required to resort to the security
before exercising any other remedy available to it under his Lease or by law. Landlord may assign
or transfer said security for Tenant’s benefit to any subsequent owner or holder of title to the
premises, upon which transfer the assignee shall become liable for repayment of same to Tenant and
the assignor shall be released by Tenant from all liability to return the security deposit. Tenant
further covenants that Tenant will not assign or encumber or attempt to assign or encumber the
security deposit and that neither Landlord nor its successors or assigns shall be bound by any
assignment or encumbrance, attempted assignment or attempted encumbrance. Furthermore, if the
interest of the Landlord, under this lease, shall become subject to the lien of any mortgage or
mortgages, the Tenant agrees that Tenant will not look to the mortgagee or mortgagees for the
return of all or any part of the security deposit regardless of whether such mortgagee or
mortgagees shall come into possession of the leased premises as a result of any default of the
Landlord and/or the Landlord’s overlandlord.
15. Default by Tenant
(1) In the event of Tenant’s default, Landlord, besides other rights or remedies that it may
have, upon giving at least ten (10) days notice and the same having not been cured in that period,
except in the case of defaults in the performance of any covenant for the payment of rent or other
sums due hereunder (in which case Landlord shall not be required to provide notice of the alleged
default, shall have the right to (i) accelerate all rent otherwise payable by Tenant over the
remainder of the Lease term, in which case all such rent shall be immediately due and payable, or
(ii) terminate this lease, or (iii) terminate Tenant’s right of continued possession of the leased
premises and, from time to time, without terminating this Lease to relet the leased premises or any
part thereof for the account and in the name of Tenant, for any such term or terms and conditions
as Landlord in its sole reasonable discretion may deem advisable, with the right to make
alterations and repairs to the leased premises deemed by Landlord to be necessary in conjunction
with such reletting.
(2) Should Landlord terminate Tenant’s right of possession of the leased premises pursuant to
this Article, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord all or any of the following: (a) any unpaid rent
and other charges to be paid by Tenant hereunder up to the date when Landlord shall have so
terminated Tenant’s right of possession, (b) the costs of recovering possession of the leased
premises and any legal fees and expenses directly related to the breach, the recovery of possession
and the collection of unpaid rent and other charges, (c) the costs incurred by Landlord in
repairing and restoring the leased premises to the condition in which same were to have been
surrendered to Landlord at the expiration of the Lease term, (d) the costs of removing any of
Tenant’s property from the leased premises and, if same be stored, the cost of transporting and
storing same (if Landlord shall store such property in the building or the business center then
Landlord shall be entitled to a
-6-
reasonable storage fee hereunder), (e) all brokerage fees advertising costs and commissions
incurred by Lessor in reletting the leased premises.
(3) Rentals received by Landlord from any reletting pursuant to this Article shall be applied
first to the payment of any of the aforesaid enumerated items, in such order as Landlord shall deem
reasonably appropriate, and second to the payment of rent and other sums due and unpaid by Tenant
hereunder as of the date of Landlord’s receipt of said rentals. The residue, if any, shall be held
by Landlord and applied in payment of future rent or damages in the event of termination as the
same may become due and payable hereunder and the balance, if any, at the end of the Lease term
shall be paid to Tenant.
(4) No such reletting of the leased premises by Landlord pursuant to this Article shall be
construed as an election on its part to terminate this Lease unless a notice of such intention be
given by Landlord to Tenant or unless such termination is decreed by a court of competent
jurisdiction. Notwithstanding any reletting without termination, Landlord may at any time
thereafter elect to terminate this Lease for such previous breach, provided it has not been cured.
(5) In the event that Landlord shall accelerate the rent payable by Tenant pursuant to any
applicable provision of this Lease, and Tenant shall fail to pay same after Landlord’s demand
therefore, then Landlord shall have the right to pursue all other rights and remedies existing at
law.
(6) Should Landlord at any time terminate this Lease for any breach pursuant to this Article,
then in addition to any other remedy Landlord may have by reason of such breach, Landlord shall
have the right to recover from Tenant all or any of the following: (a) any unpaid rent and other
charges to be paid by Tenant hereunder up to the date of termination, (b) the costs of recovering
possession of the leased premises and any legal costs, fees and expenses directly related to the
breach, the recovery of possession, and the collection of said arrearages in rent and other
charges, (c) costs, as reasonably estimated by Landlord would be incurred in repairing or restoring
the leased premises to the condition in which the same were to have been surrendered to Landlord as
the expiration of the Lease term, (d) the costs of removing any of Tenant’s property from the
leased premises, and if same be stored, the cost of transporting and storing same (if Landlord
shall store such property in the building or the project, then Landlord shall be entitled to a
reasonable storage fee hereunder), all brokerage fees and commissions incurred by Landlord in
reletting the leased premises, and (f) compensation for the loss of profits occasioned by the
breach and resultant termination of this lease, which loss the parties agree shall be determined by
calculating the total amount of rent and other charges to be paid by Tenant, as if this Lease had
not been terminated, from the date of termination to the otherwise expiration date of the Lease
term, and deducting therefrom the net rental value of the leased premises for a like period which
Tenant proves could have been reasonably achieved.
(7) Landlord shall have the right to recover, in execution of judgment(s) rendered in legal
proceeding or otherwise, either jointly or from time to time severally, the applicable sums
specified in clauses (a) through (e) of Paragraph (2) of this Article, and clauses (a) through (f)
of Paragraph (6) of this Article. Landlord’s recovery of one or more of such sums shall not
constitute a waiver of Landlord’s right to recover from Tenant the remaining sums. The cost of
reletting the leased premises and the estimated cost of renovating or preparing the leased premises
for a new tenant shall be substantiated by the affidavit of Landlord submitted with the demand for
payment under this Article or any legal proceeding for the recovery thereof.
(8) Landlord shall have all rights and remedies now or hereafter existing at law with respect
to the enforcement of Tenant’s obligations hereunder and the recovery of the leased premises,
including, without limitation, those set forth in N.J.S.A. 2A:18-53, R.S. 2:32-256, L1898, c.228,
as amended, and all amendments, modifications and substitutions thereof hereafter enacted. No right
or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to Landlord shall be exclusive of any other right or
remedy, but shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights and remedies given hereunder or
now or hereafter existing at law. Landlord shall be entitled to injunctive relief in case of the
violation, or attempted or threatened violation, of any covenant, agreement,
-7-
condition or provision of this lease, or to a decree compelling performance of any
covenant, agreement, condition or provision of this lease.
(9) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article, if Tenant is in default
hereunder, Landlord after the lapse of any time period and notice as may be applicable thereto
under the provisions of Paragraph (1) of this Article shall have the right, without prejudice to
any other right or remedy provided for hereunder or otherwise available, to cure the default; and
in such case all of Landlord’s cost and expenses in so doing, plus interest at the maximum rate of
interest per annum then permitted by law shall be due and payable to Landlord, upon demand, as
additional rent under the terms of this lease.
16. Right to Cure Tenant’s Breach
If Tenant breaches any covenant or condition of this lease, Landlord may, on reasonable notice
to Tenant (except that no notice need be given in case of emergency), cure such breach at the
expense of Tenant and the reasonable amount of all expenses, including attorneys’ fees and court

Lease, Tenant shall, at Tenant’s own expense, first comply with the Industrial Site Recovery Act,
N.J.S.A. 13:1K-6 et. seq. and fulfill all of Tenant’s environmental obligations under this Lease.
If this condition shall not be satisfied, then Landlord shall have the right to withhold consent to

or transfer shall be deemed an assignment requiring the consent of Landlord.

connected with all orders, regulations, requirements and directives of any such departments,

attorneys’ fees and expenses of the prevailing party in any such action or proceeding shall be

occupancy hereunder, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as additional rent hereunder, its costs and
expenses incurred in such suit, including a reasonable attorney’s fee.

for, material furnished to, or obligation incurred by tenant, and shall indemnify Landlord for all
costs and expenses incurred by Landlord with respect to such liens.

damage to property be due or claimed to be due to any negligence including gross negligence or
other act or failure of Landlord, or its officers, agents or employees occurring prior to or
following the execution of this Lease) or (2) by reason of the occupancy or use of the leased
premises by Tenant or (3) occasioned wholly or in part by any act or omission of Tenant or breach
of this Lease by Tenant or by its agents, contractors, customers, employees, servants, lessees or
concessionaires. If Landlord shall be made a party to any litigation commenced by or against Tenant

leased premises, Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless and shall pay all costs,
expenses and reasonable attorney’s fees incurred or paid by Landlord in connection with such
