ARTICLE 1

DEFINITIONS

1.1                       Capitalized Terms. Capitalized terms used in this Lease but not otherwise defined have the meanings set forth in Appendix I.

ARTICLE 2

DEMISE, TERM

2.1                       Demise of Premises. Landlord hereby leases and demises to Tenant, and Tenant hereby hires and takes from Landlord, upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Premises for the Term. Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that for all purposes of this Lease, the Premises contains 21,845 rentable square feet. Subject to Landlord’s reasonable rules and regulations, Tenant and Tenant’s Visitors shall have the non-exclusive right to use the portions of the Common Areas (for the purposes that such portions of the Common Areas were intended and designed) which Landlord, from time to time, makes available for common use.

2.2                       Term.

(a)                                 Term: The Term of this Lease will commence on the Commencement Date and end on the Termination Date.

(b)                                 Commencement Date. The “Commencement Date” will be the earlier to occur of (i) the date Tenant takes occupancy of the Premises for the purposes of conducting its business, and (ii) five (5) days after Landlord notifies Tenant in writing that the Finish Work is Substantially Completed.

(c)                                  Substantial Completion. “Substantially Completed” or “Substantial Completion” means that (i) Landlord has completed the Finish Work in accordance with the Working Plans and in compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements including, without limitation, Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, except for (x) minor details of construction that will not unreasonably interfere with Tenant’s use of the Premises (collectively, “Punch List Items”), and (y) any part of the Finish Work that is not completed due to any act or omission of Tenant or Tenant’s Visitors; and (ii) Landlord has obtained a valid temporary or permanent certificate of occupancy for the Premises or, alternatively, Landlord has completed all Finish Work necessary to entitle Landlord to the issuance of a temporary or permanent certificate of occupancy other than any Finish Work that is not completed due to any Tenant Delay. If the

4

completion of the Finish Work is delayed due to any Tenant Delay, then the Commencement Date will be accelerated by the number of days of delay caused by such Tenant Delay.

(d)                                 Certificate of Occupancy. If, after the receipt of a certificate of occupancy for the Premises, a governmental authority issues a notice of violation with respect to the Finish Work and such notice of violation was not caused by, or does not arise out of, Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises, or any alterations, additions, improvements or other work performed by, or proposed to be performed by Tenant, or any other any act or omission of Tenant or Tenant’s Visitors, then Landlord shall, reasonably promptly after receipt of the notice of violation, correct the applicable elements of the Finish Work that gave rise to the notice of violation.

(e)                                  AS IS. Tenant acknowledges that neither Landlord nor any employee, agent or representative of Landlord has made any express or implied representations or warranties with respect to the physical condition of the Property, Building or the Premises, the fitness or quality thereof or any other matter or thing whatsoever with respect to the Property, Building or the Premises or any portion thereof, and that Tenant is not relying upon any such representation or warranty in entering into this Lease. Tenant has inspected the Building and the Premises and is thoroughly acquainted with their respective condition and agrees to take the same “AS IS”, except for the Finish Work which Landlord has agreed to complete pursuant to the terms of Section 2.6. and except for latent defects.

(f)                                   Abatement. (i) If the Commencement Date has not occurred on or before the First Abatement Date, then, provided no Event of Default is then occurring and subject to the provisions of this Section 2.2(e), the Basic Rent Commencement Date shall be automatically extended for a period equal to the number of days during the period commencing on the First Abatement Date and ending on the earlier to occur of (i) the day immediately preceding the Commencement Date or (ii) the day immediately preceding the Second Abatement Date (such period, the “First Abatement Period”). If the Commencement Date has not occurred on or before the Second Abatement Date, then, provided no Event of Default is then occurring and subject to the provisions of this Section 2.2(e), the Basic Rent Commencement Date shall be automatically extended for a period equal to two (2) times the number of days during the period commencing on the Second Abatement Date and ending on the day immediately preceding the Commencement Date (such period, the “Second Abatement Period”). As used herein, the term “First Abatement Date” means November 1, 2015 and the term “Second Abatement Date” means January 1, 2016; provided, however, the First Abatement Date and the Second Abatement Date shall each be automatically extended for a period equal to any delay in performing the Finish Work caused by Excusable Delays. If a Tenant Delay occurs during either the First Abatement Period or the Second Abatement Period, then, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Basic Rent Commencement Date shall not be extended on account of such Tenant Delay.

(ii)                                  If the Commencement Date has not occurred on or before the Termination Outside Date, then, provided no Event of Default is then occurring as of the Termination Outside Date, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease by notice given to Landlord after the Termination Outside Date but no later than ten (10) days after the Termination Outside Date (and, in any event, prior to the Commencement Date), time being of the essence with respect to the giving of such termination notice. As of the giving of any such termination

5

notice, this Lease shall terminate and neither party shall have any further obligations or liability hereunder, except that Landlord shall return any letter of credit delivered pursuant to Article 28. As used herein, the “Termination Outside Date” means April 1, 2016; provided, however, the Termination Outside Date shall be automatically extended for a period equal to any delay in performing the Finish Work caused by Excusable Delays. If Tenant does not elect to terminate this Lease by timely notice given to Landlord pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 2.2(e)(ii), then Tenant shall have no further right to terminate this Lease under this Section 2.2(e)(ii) and this Section 2.2(e)(ii) shall be null and void and of no further force or effect.

(iii)                               Other than the express remedies set forth in this Section 2.2(e), Landlord shall have no liability, including any liability for any loss, cost, expense, or damages (direct or consequential), with respect to the failure of the Commencement Date to occur on or before the First Abatement Date, the Second Abatement Date or the Termination Outside Date, as the case may be.

2.3                       Occupancy of Premises. Subject to Landlord’s warranty obligations under Section 3(e) of Schedule D, Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises will be deemed to conclusively establish that the Finish Work is Substantially Completed and that the Premises are in satisfactory condition as of the date of such occupancy unless, within thirty (30) days of such occupancy, Tenant delivers to Landlord a written notice specifically identifying all unsatisfactory conditions.

2.4                       Commencement Date Agreement. When the Commencement Date occurs, upon request from Landlord, Landlord and Tenant shall enter into an agreement in the form annexed hereto as Schedule F memorializing the Commencement Date, Basic Rent Commencement Date, the Adjustment Date and Termination Date of this Lease; provided, however, that the failure to do so shall not affect the Commencement Date, the Basic Rent Commencement Date, the Adjustment Date, the Termination Date or the validity of this Lease.

2.5                       Move-In Day. Tenant may move into the Premises at any time on or after the Commencement Date, upon the following terms and conditions: (i) Tenant shall notify Landlord as soon as possible as to the date and time of the scheduled move, and at least seventy-two (72) hours prior to the move date; (ii) Landlord must approve all moving arrangements, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed, denied or conditioned; (iii) the receiving area and service elevator are scheduled on a first come, first served basis; no unscheduled moves are permitted; (iv) all office moves and large deliveries shall be scheduled for weekends or after 6 p.m. Monday through Friday, excluding Building Holidays; (v) Tenant and Tenant’s moving contractor shall be responsible for supplying pads to protect the elevator cab interior and the Common Areas; masonite boards or similar material shall be used to cover all floor areas through which materials are to be moved; all floor coverings must be installed in such a manner as to avoid trip hazards or other unsafe conditions; (vi) the side and rear entrances are the only Building entrances permitted for moving and delivering purposes; (vii) Tenant shall provide to Landlord a certificate of insurance from its moving contractor in the form reasonably required by Landlord prior to the move; no moving work shall commence unless such certificates of insurance have been provided; (viii) Tenant and its moving contractor shall be responsible for any damage to the Property and the Building, its contents and appurtenances, caused by the moving contractor or by its employees or subcontractors; (ix) Tenant or Tenant’s moving contractor shall promptly report to Landlord any electrical problems or equipment breakdowns that occur during

6

the move and may affect Building operations; (x) Tenant and its moving contractor shall be responsible for removing all trash, packing cartons and other materials associated with the move; all such material shall be removed from the Property and may not be deposited into the Building trash compactors; (xi) the blocking of any fire corridor, exit door, elevator, lobby, or hallway, and the parking of vehicles in fire lanes is prohibited; all improperly parked or unauthorized vehicles will be towed from the Property without notice to the owner at the owner’s expense; (xii) the employees and subcontractors of Tenant’s moving contractor shall be restricted to the areas of the move and the loading docks, and shall use the lobby level restrooms only; the discovery of any of the moving contractor’s personnel or subcontractor’s personnel in any other area of the Building will result in the suspension of the move; (xiii) additional security personnel may be required by Landlord to supervise the move, at Tenant’s expense; and (xiv) prior to the commencement of any move, both Tenant and its moving contractor shall execute Landlord’s moving guidelines to evidence their respective agreement with the foregoing. If applicable, Landlord shall attempt to provide one (1) elevator for Tenant’s exclusive use during Tenant’s move. Subject to Section 14.2, Tenant shall be responsible for any damage to the Premises, Property and the Building, its contents and appurtenances, caused by the moving contractor or by its employees or subcontractors.

2.6                       Finish Work. Landlord shall construct the Finish Work in the manner and as provided in Schedule D attached hereto.

2.7                       Incentives Contingency. (a) Landlord and Tenant hereby acknowledge and agree that, subject to this Section 2.7, this Lease is contingent upon Tenant obtaining the EDA Incentives prior to the expiration of the EDA Incentives Period. The term “EDA Incentives” as used herein means an annual tax credit issued to Tenant by the New Jersey Economic Development Authority under its Grow NJ Assistance Program for a period of up ten (10) years in an amount to be determined by the New Jersey Economic Development Authority.

(b)                                 Promptly after the date of this Lease, Tenant shall proceed, diligently, in good faith and in accordance with Legal Requirements, to obtain the EDA Incentives. If the EDA Incentives are obtained during the EDA Incentives Period, (i) the contingency contained in this Section 2.7 shall automatically be deemed to be satisfied, and (ii) Tenant shall have no right to terminate this Lease as of the date it receives the EDA Incentives. Tenant shall keep Landlord apprised with respect to the status of Tenant’s pursuit of the EDA Incentives, including, without limitation, (A) upon request from Landlord, advising Landlord in writing of the status of Tenant’s pursuit of the EDA Incentives and the steps Tenant is taking (and has taken) in pursuant of the EDA Incentives (B) providing Landlord with a copy of all applications, notices, correspondence and other materials submitted to or received by any governmental entity in connection with the EDA Incentives, and (C) advising Landlord of the date, time and place of any meetings and/or hearings with the any governmental authority having jurisdiction over the EDA Incentives at least five (5) Business Days prior to such meeting or hearing, as applicable. If the EDA Incentives have not been obtained by the close of business on the last day of the EDA Incentives Period, then Tenant shall have the right, by notice given to Landlord before the close of business on the last day of the EDA Incentives Period (time being of the essence with respect to the giving of such notice), to elect to terminate this Lease. If Tenant fails to timely give to Landlord Tenant’s termination notice, Tenant shall be deemed to have elected to waive its right to terminate this Lease on account of its failure to obtain the EDA Incentives prior to the

7

expiration of the EDA Incentives Period. If Tenant receives the EDA Incentives or the EDA Incentives Period expires without Tenant exercising its right to terminate this Lease, within five (5) days after request from Landlord, Landlord and Tenant shall enter into an agreement memorializing that Tenant’s terminate right and that this Section 2.7 are null and void and of no further force or effect.

(c)                                  If Tenant elects to terminate this Lease under Section 2.7(b), then (i) this Lease shall be deemed terminated as of the date on which Landlord receives such notice (the “Early Termination Date”), (ii) if Tenant is in possession of the Premises, Tenant shall surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord on or before the Early Termination Date as fully and completely as if the Early Termination Date had been definitively fixed herein as the Termination Date with respect to the Lease, and (iii) promptly following the Early Termination Date, Landlord shall return to Tenant any amounts previously paid by Tenant on account of the Basic Rent unless Landlord is otherwise permitted to retain such amounts. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that its termination right shall be its sole remedy in the event Tenant fails to obtain the EDA Incentives on or before the close of business on the last day of the EDA Incentives Period, and that Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any costs, expenses or damages (consequential or otherwise) incurred by Tenant as a result of Tenant’s failure to obtain the EDA Incentives on or before the close of business on the last day of the EDA Incentives Period.

(d)                                 Tenant shall pursue the EDA Incentives at its sole cost and expense and shall be responsible for, and shall timely pay, all costs in connection with the EDA Incentives, including without limitation, all application fees, application escrows, disbursements, and the fees and disbursements of any attorney and/or consultants retained by Tenant in connection with the EDA Incentives.

ARTICLE 3

BASIC RENT; ADDITIONAL RENT

3.1                       Basic Rent. Tenant shall pay the Basic Rent to Landlord in lawful money of the United States of America in equal monthly installments, in advance, on the Basic Rent Payment Dates, commencing on the Basic Rent Commencement Date, except that Tenant shall pay the first installment of Basic Rent upon Tenant’s execution and delivery of this Lease. If the Basic Rent Commencement Date is not a Basic Rent Payment Date, the Basic Rent for the month in which the Basic Rent Commencement Date occurs will be prorated and Tenant shall pay such prorated amount to Landlord on the Basic Rent Commencement Date.

3.2                       Additional Rent. In addition to the Basic Rent, Tenant shall pay and discharge when due, as additional rent (“Additional Rent”), all other amounts, liabilities and obligations which Tenant herein agrees to pay to Landlord, together with all interest, penalties and costs which may be added thereto pursuant to the terms of this Lease.

3.3                       Late Charge. If any installment of Basic Rent or Additional Rent is not paid within ten (10) days of when due, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, on demand, a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of the amount unpaid. The late charge is not intended as a penalty but is intended to compensate Landlord for the extra expense Landlord will incur to send out late notices and handle other matters resulting from the late payment. In addition, any installment or

8

installments of Basic Rent or Additional Rent that are not paid within fifteen (15) days after the date when due, will bear interest at the lesser of: (i) six percent (6%) over the Prime Rate, or (ii) the highest legal rate permitted by law. Any interest due as set forth in the preceding sentence shall be calculated from the due date of the delinquent payment until the date of payment, which interest will be deemed Additional Rent and shall be payable by Tenant upon demand by Landlord.

3.4                       Prorating Rent. If any Lease Year consists of a period of less than twelve (12) full calendar months, payments of Basic Rent and Additional Rent, will be prorated on the basis of a thirty (30) day month or 360-day year, unless otherwise provided.

3.5                       No Abatement or Set-off. Except as herein provided, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, at Landlord’s address for notices hereunder, or such other place as Landlord may from time to time designate in writing, without any offset, set-off, counterclaim, deduction, defense, abatement, suspension, deferment or diminution of any kind (i) the Basic Rent, without notice or demand, (ii) Additional Rent, and (iii) all other sums payable by Tenant hereunder. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, this Lease will not terminate, nor will Tenant have any right to terminate or avoid this Lease or be entitled to the abatement of any Basic Rent, Additional Rent or other sums payable hereunder or any reduction thereof, nor will the obligations and liabilities of Tenant hereunder be in any way affected for any reason. The obligations of Tenant hereunder are separate and independent covenants and agreements.

3.6                       Invoices. If Landlord issues monthly or other periodic rent billing statements to Tenant, the issuance or non-issuance of such statements will not affect Tenant’s obligation to pay Basic Rent and the Additional Rent set forth in Sections 4.3 and 5.3, all of which are due and payable on the Basic Rent Payment Dates.

ARTICLE 4

REAL ESTATE TAXES

4.1                       Taxes. Tenant shall pay to Landlord Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the amount by which the Taxes for any Lease Year during the Term exceed the Base Taxes; provided, however, that if any special assessments may be paid in installments, Landlord may elect to pay same over the longest period allowed by law. Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the Taxes for less than a full Lease Year will be prorated.

4.2                       Landlord’s Tax Statement. As soon as reasonably possible after the first day of the Lease Year following the Lease Year in which the Base Period occurs and thereafter as soon as reasonably practical after the end of each succeeding Lease Year, Landlord shall determine or estimate the amount by which the Taxes for the Lease Year in question will exceed the Base Taxes (the “Projected Taxes”) and shall submit such information to Tenant in a written statement (“Landlord’s Tax Statement”). Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to issue Landlord’s Tax Statement within one hundred twenty (120) days following the end of each Lease Year. Subject to Section 29.3, Landlord’s failure to render Landlord’s Tax Statement for any Lease Year will not prejudice Landlord’s right to thereafter render Landlord’s Tax Statement with respect to such Lease Year or with respect to any other Lease Year, nor will the rendering of any Landlord’s Tax

9

Statement prejudice Landlord’s right to thereafter render a revised Landlord’s Tax Statement for the applicable Lease Year.

4.3                       Monthly Tax Payment. Commencing on the first Basic Rent Payment Date following the submission of Landlord’s Tax Statement and continuing thereafter on each successive Basic Rent Payment Date until Landlord renders the next Landlord’s Tax Statement, Tenant shall pay to Landlord on account of its obligation under Section 4.1, a sum (the “Monthly Tax Payment”) equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the Projected Taxes for such Lease Year. Tenant’s first Monthly Tax Payment after receipt of Landlord’s Tax Statement shall be accompanied by the payment of an amount equal to the product of the number of full months, if any, within the Lease Year which have elapsed prior to such first Monthly Tax Payment, times the Monthly Tax Payment; minus any Additional Rent already paid by Tenant on account of its obligation under Section 4.1 for such Lease Year. From time to time during any Lease Year, Landlord may revise the Landlord’s Tax Statement and adjust Tenant’s Monthly Tax Payment to reflect Landlord’s revised estimate, in which event Tenant shall pay, along with the next monthly payment due, the difference (if any) between the aggregate amount of Tenant’s Monthly Tax Payments theretofore made on account of its obligation under Section 4.1 for such Lease Year, and the amount which would have been payable by Tenant during such Lease Year had Landlord billed Tenant for the revised Monthly Tax Payment for such prior elapsed months during such Lease Year. Thereafter, Tenant shall pay the revised monthly estimate in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4.3.

4.4                       Reconciliation. Landlord shall deliver to Tenant within one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of each Lease Year, Landlord’s final determination of the amount by which the Taxes for the Lease Year in question exceed the Base Taxes and shall submit such information to Tenant in a written statement (“Landlord’s Final Tax Statement”). Section 29.3 of this Lease shall apply to Landlord’s delivery of Landlord’s Final Tax Statement. Upon request from Tenant after Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s Final Tax Statement, Landlord shall provide Tenant with a copy of the applicable tax ▇▇▇▇ (or other reasonable evidence of the amount of the Taxes) for the applicable Lease Year. Each Landlord’s Final Tax Statement must reconcile the payments made by Tenant in the Lease Year in question with Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the amount by which actual Taxes imposed for the period covered thereby exceed Base Taxes. Any balance due to Landlord shall be paid by Tenant within twenty (20) days after Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s Final Tax Statement; any surplus due to Tenant shall be applied by Landlord against the next accruing monthly installment(s) of Additional Rent due under this Article 4. If the Term has expired or has been terminated, Tenant shall pay the balance due to Landlord or, alternatively, Landlord shall refund the surplus to Tenant, whichever the case may be, within twenty (20) days after Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s Final Tax Statement; provided, however, that, if the Term terminated as a result of a default by Tenant, then Landlord will have the right to retain such surplus to the extent Tenant owes Landlord any Basic Rent or Additional Rent.

4.5                       Refund of Taxes. Landlord will have the right, but not the obligation, to seek to obtain a lowering of the assessed valuation of the Property. Landlord may employ whatever individuals and firms Landlord, in its sole judgment, deems necessary to undertake such endeavor. Tenant shall reasonably cooperate with Landlord and its representatives in all such endeavors. If Landlord receives a refund of Taxes in respect of a Lease Year and if Tenant paid Additional Rent based on the Taxes paid prior to the refund, Landlord shall first deduct from such

10

tax refund such actual and documented third party out-of-pocket expenses, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys fees and appraisal fees, incurred in obtaining such tax refund, and out of the remaining balance of such tax refund, Landlord shall credit Tenant’s Proportionate Share of such refund against the next accruing monthly installment(s) of Additional Rent, or if the Term has expired, Landlord shall pay to Tenant Tenant’s Proportionate Share of such refund within twenty (20) days after receipt thereof by Landlord; provided, however, that (i) if the Term terminated as a result of a default by Tenant, Landlord will have the right to retain Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the refund to the extent Tenant owes Landlord any Basic Rent or Additional Rent, and (ii) Tenant’s Proportionate Share of such refund will in no event exceed the amount of Additional Rent actually paid by Tenant on account of the Taxes for the Lease Year in question. Any expenses incurred by Landlord in contesting the validity or the amount of the assessed valuation of the Property or any Taxes, to the extent not offset by a tax refund, will, for the purpose of computing the Additional Rent due Landlord or any credit due to Tenant hereunder, be included as an item of Taxes for the tax year in which such contest is finally determined. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, Tenant will have no right to contest or appeal the validity of any Taxes or the assessed valuation of the Property.

4.6                       Payment Pending Appeal. While proceedings for the reduction in assessed valuation for any year are pending, the computation and payment of Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Taxes will be based upon the original assessments for such year.

4.7                       Taxes on Tenant’s Improvements. Tenant shall also pay to Landlord, upon demand, the amount of all increases in Taxes and/or all assessments or impositions made, levied or assessed against or imposed upon the Property or any part thereof which are attributable to additions or improvements in, on or about the Premises made by or on behalf of Tenant (but excluding the Finish Work) or which in whole or in part belong to Tenant.

4.8                       Survival. In no event will any adjustment in Tenant’s obligation to pay Additional Rent under this Article 4 result in a decrease in the Basic Rent. Tenant’s obligation to pay Additional Rent, and Landlord’s obligation to credit and/or refund to Tenant any amount, pursuant to the provisions of this Article 4, will survive the Termination Date.

4.9                       Bills and Statements. The provisions of Section 29.3 apply to Landlord’s Tax Statement.

4.10                Rent Tax. If an excise, transaction, sales, or privilege tax or other tax or imposition (other than Federal, state or local income or estate taxes) is levied or assessed against Landlord or the Property on account of or measured by, in whole or in part, the Basic Rent and/or Additional Rent expressly reserved hereunder as a substitute for or in addition to, in whole or in part, Taxes or if any assessments and/or taxes are levied or assessed against Landlord or the Property on account of or as a result of the operation and/or existence of Tenant’s business, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord upon demand: (i) the amount of such excise, transaction, sales or privilege tax or other tax or imposition lawfully assessed or imposed as a result of Landlord’s interests in this Lease or of the Basic Rent and/or Additional Rent accruing under this Lease; and (ii) the amount of any assessments and/or taxes levied or assessed against Landlord or the Property on account of or as a result of the operation and/or existence of Tenant’s business in the Property.

11

ARTICLE 5

OPERATING EXPENSES

5.1                               Operating Expenses.

(a)                                 The Landlord’s CAM Expenses and the Insurance Expenses are collectively referred to as “Landlord’s Operating Expenses” and shall be determined and paid in accordance with the provisions of this Article 5.

(b)                                 Tenant shall pay to Landlord, Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the amount by which Landlord’s CAM Expenses for any Lease Year during the Term exceeds the Base CAM Expenses. Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Landlord’s CAM Expenses for less than a full Lease Year will be prorated.

(c)                                  Tenant shall pay to Landlord, Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the amount by which the Insurance Expenses for any Lease Year during the Term exceeds the Base Insurance Expenses. Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the Insurance Expenses for less than a full Lease Year will be prorated.

5.2                       Landlord’s Expense Statement. As soon as reasonably possible after the first day of the Lease Year following the Lease Year in which the Base Period occurs and thereafter as soon as practical after each succeeding Lease Year during the Term, Landlord shall determine or estimate the amount by which Landlord’s Operating Expenses for the Lease Year in question will exceed the Base Operating Expenses (“Landlord’s Estimated Operating Expenses”) and shall submit such information to Tenant in a written statement (“Landlord’s Expense Statement”). Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to issue Landlord’s Expense Statement within one hundred twenty (120) days following the end of each Lease Year. Subject to Section 29.3, Landlord’s failure to render Landlord’s Expense Statement for any Lease Year will not prejudice Landlord’s right to thereafter render Landlord’s Expense Statement with respect to such Lease Year or with respect to any other Lease Year, nor will the rendering of any Landlord’s Expense Statement prejudice Landlord’s right to thereafter render a revised Landlord’s Expense Statement for the applicable Lease Year.

5.3                       Monthly Expense Payment. Commencing on the first Basic Rent Payment Date following the submission of Landlord’s Expense Statement and continuing thereafter on each successive Basic Rent Payment Date until Landlord renders the next Landlord’s Expense Statement, Tenant shall pay to Landlord on account of its obligation under Section 5.1, a sum (the “Monthly Expense Payment”) equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Landlord’s Estimated Operating Expenses for such Lease Year. Tenant’s first Monthly Expense Payment after receipt of Landlord’s Expense Statement shall be accompanied by the payment of an amount equal to the product of the number of full months, if any, within the Lease Year which have elapsed prior to such first Monthly Expense Payment, times the Monthly Expense Payment; minus any Additional Rent already paid by Tenant on account of its obligation under Section 5.1 for such Lease Year. From time to time during any Lease Year, Landlord may revise the Landlord’s Expense Statement and adjust Tenant’s Monthly Expense Payment to reflect Landlord’s revised estimate, in which event Tenant shall pay, along with the next monthly payment due, the difference (if any) between the aggregate amount of Tenant’s Monthly Expense

12

Payments theretofore made on account of its obligation under Section 5.1 for such Lease Year, and the amount which would have been payable by Tenant during such Lease Year had Landlord billed Tenant for the revised Monthly Expense Payment for such prior elapsed months during such Lease Year. Thereafter, Tenant shall pay the revised monthly estimate in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.3.

5.4                       Reconciliation. Landlord shall deliver to Tenant, within one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of each Lease Year, Landlord’s final determination of the amount by which the Landlord’s Operating Expenses for the Lease Year in question exceed the Base Operating Expenses and shall submit such information to Tenant in a written statement (the “Annual Expense Reconciliation”). Section 29.3 of this Lease shall apply to Landlord’s delivery of the Annual Expense Reconciliation. Each Annual Expense Reconciliation shall be a reasonably detailed statement containing a comparison of the Base Operating Expenses and the Landlord’s Operating Expenses for the applicable Lease Year and shall reconcile the aggregate of all Monthly Expense Payments made by Tenant in the Lease Year in question with Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the amount by which actual Landlord’s Operating Expenses for the period covered thereby exceed Base Operating Expenses. Any balance due to Landlord shall be paid by Tenant within twenty (20) days after Tenant’s receipt of the Annual Expense Reconciliation; any surplus due to Tenant shall be applied by Landlord against the next accruing monthly installment(s) of Additional Rent due under this Article 5. If the Term has expired or has been terminated, Tenant shall pay the balance due to Landlord or, alternatively, Landlord shall refund the surplus to Tenant, whichever the case may be, within twenty (20) days after Tenant’s receipt of the Annual Expense Reconciliation; provided, however, that if the Term terminated as a result of a default by Tenant, then Landlord will have the right to retain such surplus to the extent Tenant owes Landlord any Basic Rent or Additional Rent.

5.5                       Audit. For ninety (90) days following Landlord’s delivery to Tenant of the Annual Expense Reconciliation, Tenant will have the right, during normal business hours and upon no less than five (5) days prior written notice to Landlord, to examine Landlord’s books and records for the purpose of confirming Landlord’s Operating Expenses and Taxes have been incurred and paid and to confirm the accuracy of the Annual Expense Reconciliation. Tenant will be deemed to have accepted the Annual Expense Reconciliation unless, within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s examination of Landlord’s books and records, Tenant delivers an objection notice to Landlord specifying in reasonable detail why Tenant believes such Annual Expense Reconciliation is incorrect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 5.5, Tenant will not be permitted to examine Landlord’s books and records or to dispute any Annual Expense Reconciliation unless (i) Tenant has paid to Landlord all amounts due as shown on such Annual Expense Reconciliation, and (ii) Tenant has signed a confidentiality agreement reasonably acceptable to Landlord. Tenant shall not engage the services of any legal counsel or other professional consultant who charges for its services on a so-called contingency fee basis for the purpose of reviewing Landlord’s books and records.

5.6                       Survival. In no event will any adjustment in Tenant’s obligation to pay Additional Rent under this Article 5 result in a decrease in Basic Rent. Tenant’s obligation to pay Additional Rent, and Landlord’s obligation to credit and/or refund to Tenant any amount, pursuant to this Article 5 will survive the Termination Date.

6.2                       Tenant Not To Exceed Capacity. Tenant’s use of electric energy in the Premises shall not at any time exceed the capacity of any of the electrical conductors and equipment in or otherwise serving the Premises.

6.4                       Utility Deregulation. If permitted by law, Landlord will have the right to choose the service providers that deliver electricity to the Premises. Tenant shall cooperate with Landlord and such service providers, including granting reasonable access to the electric lines, feeders, risers, wiring, and any other machinery within the Premises. If the law prohibits Landlord from choosing the service providers that deliver electricity to the Premises, then Tenant’s choice of such service providers is subject to Landlord’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, conditioned or denied and no such service provider will be permitted to deliver service to or otherwise affect the Building’s electric system without such consent.

If Landlord elects to relinquish Landlord’s right to any Tenant Improvement, Tenant shall remove said Tenant Improvement, shall promptly repair any damage to the Premises or the Building caused by said removal and shall restore the Premises and the Building to substantially the condition existing prior to the installation of said Tenant Improvement; all such work shall be done prior to the Termination Date and in accordance with the provisions of this Lease.

17

spaces, (iv) the maintenance, repair or cleaning of any vehicle in the parking area, and (v) the violation of any other parking rules and regulations promulgated by Landlord and notice of which have been provided to Tenant.

9.8                               Telecommunications. Subject to the Rules and Regulations of Landlord and any applicable telecommunications provider, Tenant will have access to the existing telecommunications system in the Building, if any.

20

Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to restore any Building Services suspended pursuant to this Section 9.9.

In addition, no deduction from Basic Rent or Additional Rent will be permitted on account of any Building Services used by Tenant.

These controls and requirements may include, without being limited to, controls on the permitted range of temperature settings in office buildings and curtailment of the volume of energy consumed or the hours of operation of the Building. Any terms or conditions of this Lease that conflict with such controls and requirements will be suspended for the duration of such controls and requirements. Compliance with such controls and requirements will not be considered an eviction, actual or constructive, of Tenant from the Premises and will not entitle Tenant to terminate this Lease or to an abatement of any Basic Rent or Additional Rent.

ARTICLE 11

COMPLIANCE WITH ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS

11.1                        Environmental Laws. Tenant shall comply, at its sole cost and expense, with all Environmental Laws in connection with Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Premises; provided, however, that the provisions of this Article 11 will not obligate Tenant to comply with the Environmental Laws if such compliance is required solely as a result of the occurrence of a release, spill, discharge or other event before the Commencement Date (“Pre-Existing Condition”), or if such release, spill, discharge or other event was not caused by the act, negligence or omission of Tenant or Tenant’s Visitors (“Third Party Discharge”).

11.2                        Copies of Environmental Documents. Tenant shall deliver promptly to Landlord a true and complete copy of any correspondence, notice, report, sampling, test, finding, declaration, submission, order, complaint, citation or any other instrument, document, agreement and/or information submitted to, or received from, any governmental entity, department or agency in connection with any Environmental Law relating to or affecting the Premises.

11.3                        Hazardous Substances and Hazardous Wastes. Tenant shall not cause or permit any “hazardous substance” or “hazardous waste” (as such terms are defined in Environmental Laws, including, without limitation, ISRA) to be kept in the Premises, except for de minimus quantities of cleaning supplies, medicines and other materials used by Tenant in the ordinary course of its business and in accordance with all Legal Requirements. Tenant shall not engage in, or permit any other person or entity to engage in, any activity, operation or business in the Premises that involves the generation, manufacture, refining, transportation, treatment, storage, handling or disposal of hazardous substances or hazardous wastes.

22

11.4                        Discharge. (a) If a release, spill or discharge of a hazardous substance or a hazardous waste occurs on or from the Property and/or Premises resulting directly from an act, negligence or omission of Tenant or Tenant’s Visitors and not a Third Party Discharge (“Tenant Discharge”), Tenant shall give Landlord immediate oral and written notice of such release, spill and/or discharge, setting forth in reasonable detail all relevant facts, including, without limitation, a copy of (i) any notice of a violation, or a potential or alleged violation, of any Environmental Law received by Tenant or any subtenant or other occupant of the Premises; (ii) any inquiry, investigation, enforcement, cleanup, removal, or other action instituted or threatened against Tenant or any subtenant or other occupant of the Premises; (iii) any claim instituted or threatened against Tenant or any subtenant or other occupant of the Premises; and (iv) any notice of the restriction, suspension, or loss of any environmental operating permit by Tenant or any subtenant or other occupant of the Premises. If a release, spill or discharge arises out of or relates to Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Premises, or if a release, spill or discharge is caused by the act, negligence or omission of Tenant or Tenant’s Visitors, then Tenant shall pay all costs and expenses relating to compliance with applicable Environmental Laws (including, without limitation, the costs and expenses of site investigations and the removal and remediation of such hazardous substance or hazardous waste).

(b)                                 Landlord’s Cleanup Rights. Without relieving Tenant of its obligations under this Lease and without waiving any default by Tenant under this Lease, Landlord will have the right, but not the obligation, to take such action as Landlord deems necessary or advisable to investigate or remove any hazardous substance or hazardous waste, or to investigate, cleanup, resolve or minimize the impact of or otherwise deal with any release, spill or discharge of any hazardous substance or hazardous waste on or from the Property. If the need for such investigation or removal of any hazardous substance or hazardous waste, or for the investigation or cleanup of a release, spill or discharge arises from a Tenant Discharge, or if the need for investigation or removal of such hazardous substance or hazardous waste, or for investigation or cleanup of any release, spill or discharge is caused by the act, negligence or omission of Tenant or Tenant’s Visitors, then Tenant shall, on demand, pay to Landlord all actual and documented third party out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with any action taken in connection therewith by Landlord.

11.5                        ISRA. (a) If Tenant’s operations at the Premises now or hereafter qualify the Premises as an “Industrial Establishment” (as defined under ISRA) or are subject to the provisions of any other Environmental Law, then Tenant agrees to comply, at its sole cost and expense, with all requirements of ISRA and any other applicable Environmental Law to the satisfaction of the licensed site remediation professional and the governmental entity, department or agency having jurisdiction over such matters (including, but not limited to, performing site investigations and performing any removal and remediation if and to the extent required in connection therewith) in connection with (i) the occurrence of the Termination Date, (ii) any termination of this Lease prior to the Termination Date, (iii) any closure, transfer or consolidation of Tenant’s operations at the Premises, (iv) any change in the ownership or control of Tenant, (v) any permitted assignment of this Lease or permitted sublease of all or part of the Premises or (vi) any other action by Tenant which triggers ISRA or any other Environmental Law. Notwithstanding the forgoing, Tenant shall not be permitted, without Landlord’s approval (which may be withheld in its sole discretion) to subject the Property (or any portion thereof) to

23

any use restriction, deed notice or any other encumbrance or obligation or to impose any engineering or institutional control with respect to the Property (or any portion thereof).

(b)                                 Compliance with ISRA. Tenant further agrees to implement and execute all of the provisions of this section in a timely manner so as to coincide with the termination of this Lease or to coincide with the vacating of the Premises by Tenant at any time during the term of this Lease. In connection with subsection (a) above, if, with respect to ISRA, Tenant fails to obtain an unconditional final remediation document (as defined in ISRA) from the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (“NJDEP”) or a New Jersey Licensed Site Remediation Professional (as defined in ISRA), as the case may be, and evidence reasonably satisfactory to Landlord that all conditions to the effectiveness of such final remediation document have been fully satisfied (including, for example, evidence that the document has been executed and delivered by all required parties and, if applicable, filed with NJDEP); or if Tenant fails to otherwise comply with the provisions of ISRA prior to the Termination Date if ISRA is applicable; or if, with respect to any other Environmental Law, Tenant fails to fully comply with the applicable provisions of such other Environmental Law prior to the Termination Date, then in any of the foregoing cases, Tenant will be deemed to be a holdover tenant and shall pay rent at the rate set forth in Section 24.3 and shall continue to diligently pursue compliance with ISRA and/or such other Environmental Law. Upon Tenant’s full compliance with the provisions of ISRA or of such other Environmental Law, Tenant shall deliver possession of the Premises to Landlord in accordance with the provisions of this Lease and such holdover rent shall be adjusted as of said date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Tenant’s non-compliance with ISRA or such other Environmental Law as of the Termination Date will not materially interfere with the use of the Premises and will not adversely affect marketing of the Premises or other portions of the Building for lease to “class A” office space tenants at rental rates equivalent to those then being charged by landlords for comparable space in other “class A” multi-tenant office buildings in northern New Jersey, and provided Tenant has otherwise surrendered the Premises in accordance with its obligations under this Lease, then Tenant shall not be deemed a holdover tenant and shall not be required to pay rent at the rate set forth in Section 24.3. The immediately preceding sentence shall not be deemed or construed to relieve Tenant of its obligation, if any, to fully comply with ISRA or the other Environmental Law. Without limiting Tenant’s obligations hereunder, if NJDEP commences an audit with respect to, or otherwise challenges or disapproves, any final remediation document, then Tenant shall take all actions required by NJDEP and the LSRP to comply with the provisions of ISRA in connection therewith; provided, however, Tenant shall not be permitted, without Landlord’s approval (which may be withheld in its sole discretion) to subject the Property (or any portion thereof) to any use restriction, deed notice or any other encumbrance or obligation or to impose any engineering or institutional control with respect to the Property (or any portion thereof).

11.6                        Landlord’s ISRA Compliance. (a) In connection with (i) any sale or other disposition of all or part of Landlord’s interest in the Property, (ii) any change in the ownership or control of Landlord, (iii) any foreclosure or (iv) any other action by Landlord which triggers ISRA or any other Environmental Law, Landlord shall comply, at its sole cost and expense, with all requirements of ISRA and such other applicable Environmental Law; provided, however, that if any site investigation is required as a result of Tenant’s use of the Premises or a release, spill or discharge of a hazardous substance or hazardous waste caused by the act, negligence or omission of Tenant or Tenant’s Visitors, then Tenant shall pay all actual and documented third

24

party out-of-pocket costs associated with such site investigation and, if any removal and remediation is required as a result of the presence of a hazardous substance or hazardous waste, or any release, spill or discharge of a hazardous substance or hazardous waste caused by the act, negligence or omission of Tenant or Tenant’s Visitors, then Tenant shall, upon demand by Landlord, pay all actual and documented third party out-of-pocket costs associated with such removal and remediation.

(b)                                 Tenant’s Cooperation. If, in order to comply with any Environmental Law, Landlord reasonably requires any affidavits, certifications or other information from Tenant, Tenant shall, at no charge to Landlord, to the extent such information is within Tenant’s possession deliver the same to Landlord within five (5) Business Days of Landlord’s request therefor.

11.7                        Notices. If Landlord has given to Tenant the name and address of any holder of an Underlying Encumbrance, Tenant agrees to send to said holder a photocopy of those items given to Landlord pursuant to the provisions of Section 11.2.

11.8                        Survival. Tenant’s obligations under this Article 11 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

11.9                        North American Industry Classification System. Tenant hereby represents and warrants to Landlord that Tenant’s operations at the Premises will at all times have the following North American Industry Classification System (“NAICS”) code: 561110.

ARTICLE 12

DISCHARGE OF LIENS

Within fifteen (15) days after receipt of notice thereof, Tenant shall discharge (by payment or bond or otherwise) any Lien on the Property, the Basic Rent, Additional Rent or any other sums payable under this Lease caused by or arising out of Tenant’s acts or Tenant’s failure to perform any obligation under this Lease.

ARTICLE 13

PERMITTED CONTESTS

Tenant may, by appropriate proceedings, contest the amount, validity or application of any Legal Requirement which Tenant is obligated to comply with or any Lien which Tenant is obligated to discharge, provided that (a) such proceedings suspend the collection thereof, (b) no part of the Premises, Basic Rent or Additional Rent or any other sum payable hereunder is subject to loss, sale or forfeiture during such proceedings, (c) Landlord is not subject to any civil or criminal liability for failure to pay or perform, as the case may be, (d) Tenant furnishes such security as may be required in the proceedings or reasonably requested by Landlord, (e) such proceedings do not affect the payment of Basic Rent, Additional Rent or any other sum payable to Landlord hereunder or prevent Tenant from using the Premises for its intended purposes, and (f) Tenant notifies Landlord of such proceedings not less than ten (10) days prior to the commencement thereof and describes such proceedings in reasonable detail. Tenant shall conduct all such contests in good faith and with due diligence and shall, promptly after the determination of such contest, pay all amounts required to be paid by Tenant.

ARTICLE 16

ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING

16.1                Prohibition. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Article 16, Tenant shall not sell, assign, transfer, hypothecate, mortgage, encumber, grant concessions or licenses, sublet, or otherwise dispose of any interest in this Lease or the Premises, by operation of law or otherwise, without Landlord’s prior written consent, which consent for any sublease or

29

assignment in accordance with this Lease shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, delayed or denied. Any consent granted by Landlord in any instance will not be construed to constitute a consent with respect to any other instance or request. If the Premises or any part thereof are sublet, used, or occupied by anyone other than Tenant, or if this Lease is assigned by Tenant, Landlord will have the right to collect rent from the assignee, subtenant, user or occupant, but no such assignment, subletting, use, occupancy or collection will be deemed (i) a waiver of any of Landlord’s rights or Tenant’s obligations under this Article 16, (ii) the acceptance of such assignee, subtenant, user or occupant as tenant, or (iii) a release of Tenant from the performance of any its obligations under this Lease.

16.2                        Tenant’s Notice. If Tenant desires to sublet the Premises or assign this Lease, Tenant shall submit to Landlord a written notice (“Tenant’s Notice”) setting forth in reasonable detail:

(a)                                 the name and address of the proposed subtenant or assignee;

(b)                                 the terms and conditions of the proposed subletting or assignment (including the proposed commencement date of the sublease or the effective date of the assignment, which must be at least thirty (30) days after Tenant’s Notice is delivered to Landlord);

(c)                                  the nature and character of the business of the proposed subtenant or assignee;

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

(e)                                  in the case of a subletting, complete plans and specifications for any work to be done in the Premises to be sublet.

16.3                        Landlord’s Response. Within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s Notice, Landlord shall notify Tenant whether Landlord (i) consents to the proposed sublet or assignment, (ii) does not consent to the proposed sublet or assignment, or (iii) elects to exercise its recapture right, as described in Section 16.5. Without limiting other reasons for which Landlord may withhold its consent, Landlord will have the right to withhold its consent to the proposed sublease or assignment if (1) the proposed assignee’s financial condition is not, in the reasonable judgment of Landlord, sufficient to cover the obligations under this Lease assumed by such party, (2) Tenant is offering to sublet or assign space at a rate that is below the then market rate being charged by Landlord for space of like availability and quantity, (3) the proposed sublease or assignment would be to an existing tenant, subtenant or other occupant of the Building (or to any subsidiary or affiliate of the foregoing) and Landlord has available space of comparable size in the Building at the time of the proposed assignment or sublet, (4) the proposed sublease or assignment would be to any prospective tenant (or to a subsidiary or affiliate thereof) with whom Landlord has negotiated for the leasing of space in the Building or any other building owned by Landlord or an affiliate of Landlord during the six (6) month period prior to Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s Notice, (5) the business of the proposed subtenant or

30

assignee is not compatible with the type of occupancy of the Building, or such business will create a material increase in use of the facilities of the Building, (6) the business of the proposed subtenant or assignee, as determined by its North American Industry Classification System code, would make it subject to the provisions of ISRA, or (7) the proposed sublease or assignment is reasonably likely to adversely affect the quality or marketability of either the rentable area or the Building.

16.4                Requirements. In addition to the foregoing requirements,

(a)                                 no assignment or sublease will be permitted if, at the effective date of such assignment or sublease, Tenant is in default under any monetary obligation under this Lease or is in default under any non-monetary obligation of which Tenant has been given written notice;

(b)                                 no assignment or sublease will be permitted unless Tenant agrees, at the time of the proposed assignment or sublease and in Tenant’s Notice, to pay to Landlord, immediately upon receipt thereof, fifty percent (50%) of all Net Rental Proceeds;

(c)                                  Tenant shall not advertise in any publication, flyer or electronic communication any sublease or assignment at a rate that is below the then market rate being charged by Landlord for space of like availability and quantity; and

(d)                                 Tenant shall pay Landlord within ten (10) days after demand, as Additional Rent, all reasonable costs and expenses incurred or paid by Landlord in connection with any proposed assignment or subletting, including, without limitation, the costs of making investigations as to the acceptability of the proposed assignee or sublessee and any reasonable legal fees and expenses incurred in connection with the review of the proposed assignment or sublease and all of the documents and other information related thereto (which costs and expenses Tenant covenants and agrees to pay regardless of whether Landlord consents to the proposed assignment or sublease) but which costs and fees shall be capped at Two Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($2,500.00).

16.5                                                                        Recapture. (a) If Tenant proposes to assign this Lease, or sublease a portion of the Premises affecting, collectively with all other subleases then in effect, more than fifty percent (50%) of the rentable square footage of the Premises, then Landlord will have the right, exercisable by written notice (the “Recapture Notice”) to Tenant within thirty (30) days after receipt of Tenant’s Notice, to recapture the space described in Tenant’s Notice (the “Recapture Space”). The Recapture Notice will cancel and terminate this Lease with respect to the Recapture Space as of the date stated in Tenant’s Notice for the commencement of the proposed assignment or sublease and Tenant shall surrender possession of the Recapture Space as of such date. Thereafter, the Basic Rent and Additional Rent will be equitably adjusted based upon the square footage of the Premises then remaining, after deducting the square footage attributable to the Recapture Space.

(b)                                 Landlord’s Exercise. If Landlord elects to exercise its recapture right and the Recapture Space is less than the entire Premises, then Landlord, at its sole expense, will have the obligation to make such alterations to the Premises required, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, to make such Recapture Space a self-contained rental unit. Landlord shall perform all

31

such work, if any, with as little inconvenience to Tenant’s business as is reasonably possible; provided, however, that (i) Landlord will not be required to perform such work after normal business hours or on weekends, and (ii) Landlord will not be deemed guilty of an eviction, partial eviction, constructive eviction or disturbance of Tenant’s use or possession of the Premises on account of such work and will not be liable to Tenant on account of same.

16.6                        Sublease Requirements. In addition to the foregoing requirements, each sublease must contain the following provisions:

(a)                                 The sublease must be subject and subordinate to all of the terms and conditions of this Lease.

(b)                                 At Landlord’s option, if this Lease terminates prior to the expiration of the sublease, the subtenant must make full and complete attornment to Landlord for the balance of the term of the sublease. Such attornment must be evidenced by an agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Landlord executed and delivered by subtenant within five (5) days after Landlord’s request therefor.

(c)                                  The term of the sublease must not extend beyond a date which is one day prior to the Termination Date.

(d)                                 The subtenant will not be permitted to further sublet all or any portion of the subleased space or to assign its sublease without Landlord’s prior written consent.

(e)                                  The subtenant must waive the provisions of any law that gives the subtenant any right to terminate the sublease or to surrender possession of the subleased if Landlord brings any proceedings to terminate this Lease.

16.7                        Permitted Transfers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 16, any sublease or assignment to a Tenant Affiliate or a Tenant Successor will not require Landlord’s consent and will not be subject to Sections 16.1 (first sentence only), 16.3, 16.4(b), 16.5 and 16.15, but all other provisions of this Article 16 will apply to such sublease or assignment. Tenant shall furnish Landlord with a copy of such sublease or assignment within five (5) days after execution thereof. “Tenant Affiliate” means any corporation or other entity controlled by, under common control with or which controls the original Tenant named in this Lease or in which original Tenant named in this Lease, directly or indirectly, has a fifty percent (50%) or greater voting or ownership interest. “Tenant Successor” means mean (a) a corporation or other business entity which is the surviving entity resulting from a merger or consolidation with, or other reorganization of, Tenant, its successors or assigns, completed in accordance with applicable statutory provisions for the merger, consolidation or reorganization, provided that by operation of law or by effective provisions contained in the instruments of merger or consolidation, or reorganization the liabilities of the corporations or other business entities participating in such merger, consolidation or reorganization are assumed by the corporation or other business entity surviving such merger, consolidation or reorganization, or (b) a corporation or other business entity acquiring all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant, including the leasehold estate created by this Lease, and assuming the obligations of Tenant under this Lease, or (c) a corporation or other business entity acquiring all or substantially all of the outstanding

32

stock or other ownership interest of Tenant; provided that such merger, consolidation, reorganization or acquisition, whichever the case may be, is not principally for the purpose of transferring the leasehold estate created hereby; and provided further that immediately after giving effect to any such merger, consolidation, reorganization or acquisition, whichever the case may be, the corporation or other business entity surviving such merger or created by such consolidation or reorganization, or acquiring such assets or such stock, as the case may be, shall have a net worth (excluding any amounts attributable to good will) which is equal to or greater than the net worth of Tenant immediately preceding the merger, consolidation, reorganization or acquisition. Tenant shall provide Landlord with evidence, reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, that such net worth requirement is satisfied.

16.8                        Events Constituting Assignment. Each of the following events will be deemed to be an assignment of this Lease and will require the prior written consent of Landlord in compliance with this Article 16 (including the delivery of a Tenant’s Notice):

(a)                                 subject to Section 16.7, any assignment or transfer of this Lease by operation of law;

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

(c)                                  any involuntary assignment or transfer of this Lease in connection with bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, or similar proceeding;

(e)                                  subject to Section 16.7, any issuance of an interest or interests in Tenant (whether stock, 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, which results in such person, entity, or group holding a controlling interest in Tenant. For purposes of the immediately foregoing, a “controlling interest” of Tenant means 25% or more of the aggregate issued and outstanding equitable interests (whether stock, partnership interests, membership interests or otherwise) of Tenant or the ability to control the management of Tenant.

16.9                        Assumption. It is a further condition to the effectiveness of any assignment otherwise complying with this Article 16 that the assignee execute, acknowledge, and deliver to Landlord an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord whereby the assignee assumes all obligations of Tenant under this Lease and agrees that the provisions of this Article 16 will continue to be binding upon it with respect to all future assignments and deemed assignments of this Lease.

16.10                 Tenant Remains Liable. No assignment of this Lease or any sublease of all or any portion of the Premises will release or discharge Tenant from any liability under this Lease and Tenant will continue to remain primarily liable under this Lease.

33

16.11                 Permits and Approvals. Tenant will be responsible for obtaining all required permits and approvals in connection with any assignment of this Lease or any subletting of the Premises. Tenant shall deliver copies of all such permits and approvals to Landlord prior to the commencement of any construction work, if construction work is to be done in connection with such sublease or assignment. Tenant shall, upon demand, reimburse Landlord for all actual and documented costs, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, incurred by Landlord in reviewing any proposed assignment of this Lease, any proposed sublease of the Premises, and any permits, approvals, and applications in connection with any construction to be performed in the Premises.

16.12                 Deadline for Consummation of Assignment or Sublease. If Landlord consents to any proposed assignment or sublease and Tenant fails to consummate such assignment or sublease within ninety (90) days after Landlord gives such consent, Tenant will be required to again comply with all of the provisions this Article 16 before assigning this Lease or subletting any part of the Premises. Within ten (10) days after the execution of any sublease or assignment, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a fully-executed copy of such sublease or assignment.

16.13                 Indemnification. If Landlord withholds its consent to any proposed assignment or sublease, Tenant shall defend, indemnify, and hold Landlord harmless from and against all liability, damages, costs, fees, expenses, penalties, and charges (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) arising out of any claims made by any brokers or other persons claiming a commission or similar compensation in connection with the proposed assignment or sublease.

16.14                 Bankruptcy. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, if this Lease is assigned to any person or entity pursuant to the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, all consideration payable in connection with such assignment shall be paid to Landlord and will be and remain the exclusive property of Landlord and will not constitute property of Tenant or of the estate of Tenant within the meaning of the Bankruptcy Code. All consideration constituting Landlord’s property under the preceding sentence not paid to Landlord shall be held in trust for the benefit of Landlord and be promptly paid to or turned over to Landlord.

(b)                                 Adequate Assurance. If Tenant proposes to assign this Lease pursuant to the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code to any person or entity who has made a bona fide offer to accept an assignment of this Lease on terms acceptable to Tenant, then Tenant shall deliver to Landlord written notice of such proposed assignment setting forth (i) the name and address of such person or entity, (ii) all of the terms and conditions of such offer, and (iii) the adequate assurance to be provided by Tenant to assure such person’s or entity’s future performance under this Lease, including, without limitation, the assurance referred to in Section 365(b)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code, or any such successor or substitute legislation or rule thereto, shall be given to Landlord by Tenant no later than twenty (20) days after receipt by Tenant, but in any event no later than ten (10) days prior to the date Tenant makes application to a court of competent jurisdiction for authority and approval to enter into such assignment and assumption. For the purposes of clause (iii) above, “adequate assurance” means the deposit of cash security in an amount equal to the Basic Rent and Additional Rent payable under this Lease for the next succeeding twelve (12) months (which annual Additional Rent shall be reasonably estimated by

34

Landlord). Landlord will thereupon have the right, exercisable by written notice to Tenant given at any time prior to the effective date of the proposed assignment, to accept an assignment of this Lease upon the same terms and conditions and for the same consideration, if any, as the bona fide offer made by such entity or person for the assignment of this Lease. Any person or entity to which this Lease is assigned pursuant to the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code will be deemed without further act or deed to have assumed all of the obligations arising under this Lease on or after the date of such assignment. Any such assignee shall, upon demand, execute and deliver to Landlord an instrument confirming such assumption.

16.15         Landlord’s Right to Negotiate. After Landlord recaptures the Recapture Space, Landlord will have the right to (i) negotiate directly with any proposed subtenant or assignee of Tenant, and (ii) enter into a direct lease with any proposed subtenant or assignee of Tenant for any space in the Building, including the space covered by the proposed sublease or assignment, on such terms and conditions as are mutually acceptable to Landlord and the proposed subtenant or assignee.

ARTICLE 17

CASUALTY

17.1                Notice. If any part of the Premises is damaged, Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord in writing of the extent of such damage. Landlord shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after Landlord is notified of the damage, notify Tenant in writing of Landlord’s estimate of the anticipated time required for Restoration of the Premises (“Landlord’s Repair Notice”).

17.2                Premises Not Untenantable. If the Premises are damaged, but no portion thereof is rendered untenantable, and this Lease is not terminated pursuant to Sections 17.4 or 17.5, Landlord shall, at its own cost and expense, cause the Restoration to be completed as soon as reasonably practicable and the Basic Rent and Additional Rent will not ▇▇▇▇▇.

17.3                Premises Untenantable. If the Premises are damaged and rendered partially or wholly untenantable, and this Lease is not terminated pursuant to Section 17.4 or 17.5, Landlord shall, at its own cost and expense, cause the Restoration to be completed as soon as reasonably practicable, and the Basic Rent and Additional Rent will be equitably abated.

17.4                Termination. (a) If the Building is damaged and, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, the total cost of Restoration will equal or exceed thirty percent (30%) or more of the full insurable value of the Building, then Landlord will have the right to terminate this Lease by delivering a written termination notice to Tenant within sixty (60) days after the occurrence of such casualty. If Landlord exercises its right to terminate this Lease pursuant to this Section 17.4, all Basic Rent and Additional Rent will be prorated as of the date such casualty.

(b)                                 If the Premises and/or the Building are damaged and, pursuant to Landlord’s Repair Notice, Restoration cannot be completed within two hundred seventy (270) days or a material portion of the Premises is damaged and rendered untenantable during the final year of the Term, Landlord and Tenant will each have the right to terminate this Lease by delivering a written termination notice to the other party within sixty (60) days after the

35

occurrence of such casualty (or, with respect to Tenant, within sixty (60) days after Landlord delivers Landlord’s Repair Notice). If either Landlord or Tenant exercises its right to terminate this Lease pursuant to this Section 17.4, all Basic Rent and Additional Rent will be prorated as of the date of such casualty.

(c)                                  If this Lease is not terminated pursuant to Sections 17.4 (a) or (b) and if Restoration has not been substantially completed within the later of: (i) three hundred sixty five (365) days from the date of the casualty or (ii) ninety (90) days after the estimate of the anticipated time required for Restoration as set forth in Landlord’s Repair Notice (such later date, the “Restoration Outside Date”), Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease (subject to the final sentence of this Section 17.4(c)) by notice given to Landlord at any time after the Restoration Outside Date but prior to the date on which substantial completion of Restoration occurs; provided, however, the Restoration Outside Date shall be extended by a period of time equal to all Excusable Delays. For the purposes of this Section 17.4(c), Restoration shall be deemed “substantially completed” on the date on which Restoration to the damaged portions of the Premises and/or the Building has been completed, except for minor details of construction thereof which will not unreasonably interfere with Tenant’s use of the Premises. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if Tenant gives a termination notice pursuant to this Section 17.4(c) on account of Landlord not substantially completing the Restoration on or before the Restoration Outside Date, then if Landlord causes Restoration to be substantially completed within thirty (30) days after receiving Tenant’s termination notice, Tenant’s termination notice shall be deemed to be automatically rescinded and this Lease shall remain in full force and effect.

17.5                Restoration. If the Net Award received by Landlord plus the amount of the Landlord’s deductible is not adequate to complete Restoration or if the holder of any Underlying Encumbrance elects to retain the Net Award, Landlord will have the right to terminate this Lease by delivering a written termination notice to Tenant within sixty (60) days after the amount of such Net Award is ascertained or the date on which the holder of any Underlying Encumbrance notifies Landlord that it has elected to retain the Net Award. If Landlord exercises its right to terminate this Lease pursuant to this Section 17.5, all Basic Rent and Additional Rent will be prorated as of the date of such casualty. Landlord will have no Restoration obligation if the damage to the Building results in the termination of any underlying ground lease.

ARTICLE 18

CONDEMNATION

18.1                Taking. Tenant hereby irrevocably assigns to Landlord any award or payment to which Tenant becomes entitled by reason of any Taking of all or any part of the Property, except that Tenant will be entitled to any award or payment for the Taking of Tenant’s trade fixtures, equipment and/or personal property and for relocation and moving expenses, provided the amount of the Net Award payable to Landlord with respect to the fee interest is not diminished. All amounts payable pursuant to any agreement with any condemning authority made in settlement of or under threat of any condemnation or other eminent domain proceeding will be deemed to be an award made in such proceeding. Tenant agrees that this Lease will control the rights of Landlord and Tenant with respect to any Net Award and any contrary provision of any present or future law is hereby waived.

18.3                        Portion of Premises. In the event of a Taking of twenty percent (20%) or more of the Premises or a Taking of access thereto, if Tenant determines in good faith that the Taking will have a permanent, material, adverse effect on Tenant’s operations at the Premises, then in any of the foregoing events, Tenant may, at any time either prior to or within sixty (60) days after the date the condemning authority takes possession of the applicable portion of the Premises, elect to terminate this Lease by delivering a written termination notice to Landlord. If Tenant fails to exercise such termination option, or if such option does not apply to a Taking, (i) Landlord shall, subject to any Excusable Delay and Section 18.4, cause Restoration to be completed as soon as reasonably practicable, but in no event later than ninety (90) days after the date the condemning authority takes possession of the applicable portion of the Premises, and (ii) the Basic Rent and Additional Rent thereafter payable will be equitably prorated based upon the square footage of the Premises and/or parking actually taken.

18.4                        Restoration. If (a) the Net Award is inadequate to complete Restoration, or (b) in the case of a Taking of twenty percent (20%) or more of the Premises, Tenant has not elected to terminate this Lease pursuant to Section 18.3 hereof, then Landlord may elect either to complete such Restoration or terminate this Lease by delivering a written termination notice to Tenant within sixty (60) days after (i) the date the amount of the Net Award is ascertained, or (ii) the expiration of the sixty (60) day period during which Tenant may terminate this Lease pursuant to Section 18.3. If Landlord terminates this Lease pursuant to this Section 18.4, all Basic Rent and Additional Rent will be apportioned as of the date the condemning authority takes possession of the Premises. Landlord’s obligation to perform Restoration is subject to the Net Award being made available to Landlord by any Lender or Master Landlord whose interest may be superior to Landlord.

ARTICLE 20

CONDITIONAL LIMITATIONS, REMEDIES

20.1                Termination. This Lease and the Term and estate hereby granted are subject to the limitation that, whenever an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Landlord will have the right, notwithstanding the fact that Landlord may have some other remedy hereunder or at law or in equity, to terminate this Lease on a date specified in a written termination notice delivered to Tenant, which date must be at least ten (10) days after the date Tenant receives such termination notice. Upon the date specified in Landlord’s termination notice, this Lease and the estate hereby granted will terminate with the same force and effect as if the date specified in Landlord’s notice was the Termination Date.

20.2                Remedies. (a) Upon any termination of this Lease pursuant to this Article 20, or as required or permitted by law, Tenant shall immediately quit and surrender the Premises to Landlord, and Landlord may, enter upon, re-enter, possess and repossess the same, but only through summary proceedings if Tenant remains in possession of the Premises, and again have, repossess and enjoy the same as if this Lease had not been made, and in any such event Tenant and no person claiming through or under Tenant by virtue of any law or an order of any court will be entitled to possession or to remain in possession of the Premises but shall immediately quit and surrender the Premises.

(b)                                 If Landlord terminates this Lease pursuant to this Article 20, Tenant will remain liable for (i) the sum of (x) all Basic Rent, Additional Rent and other amounts payable by Tenant hereunder until the date this Lease would have expired had such termination not occurred, and (y) all reasonable actual and documented expenses incurred by Landlord in reentering the Premises, repossessing the same, making good any default of Tenant, painting, altering or dividing the Premises, putting the same in proper repair, reletting the same (including

39

any and all reasonable attorneys fees and disbursements and reasonable brokerage fees incurred in so doing), removing and storing any property left in the Premises following such termination, and any and all reasonable expenses which Landlord may incur during the occupancy of any new tenant (other than expenses of a type that are Landlord’s responsibility under the terms of this Lease); less (ii) the net proceeds of any reletting actually received by Landlord. Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord the difference between items (i) and (ii) above with respect to each month during the period that would have constituted the balance of the Term, at the end of such month. Any suit brought by Landlord to enforce collection of such difference for any one month will not prejudice Landlord’s right to enforce the collection of any difference for any subsequent month. Tenant’s liability under this Section 20.2(b) will survive the institution of summary proceedings and the issuance of any warrant thereunder.

(c)                                  If Landlord terminates this Lease pursuant to this Article 20, Landlord will have the right, to require Tenant to pay to Landlord, on demand, as liquidated and agreed final damages in lieu of Tenant’s liability under Section 20.2(b), an amount equal to the difference (discounted to the date of such demand at an annual rate of interest equal to the then-current yield on actively traded United States Treasury bills or United States Treasury notes having a maturity substantially comparable to the remaining term of this Lease as of the date of such termination, as published in the Federal Reserve Statistical Release for the week before the date of such termination) between (i) the Basic Rent and Additional Rent, computed on the basis of the then current annual rate of Basic Rent and Additional Rent and all fixed and determinable increases in Basic Rent, which would have been payable from the date of such demand to the date when this Lease would have expired if it had not been terminated (discounted as noted above), and (ii) the then fair rental value of the Premises for the same period less the costs of reletting expenses, including the cost to paint, alter or divide the space, put the same in proper repair, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, reasonable brokerage fees. Upon payment of such liquidated and agreed final damages, Tenant will be released from all further liability under this Lease with respect to the period after the date of such demand, except for those obligations that expressly survive the termination of this Lease.

20.3                Liquidated Damages. Nothing herein contained will limit or prejudice the right of Landlord, in any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, to prove for and obtain as liquidated damages by reason of such termination an amount equal to the maximum allowed by any bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings, or to prove for and obtain as liquidated damages by reason of such termination, an amount equal to the maximum allowed by any statute or rule of law whether such amount is greater or less than the excess referred to above.

20.4                Abandonment. If, following an Event of Default, Tenant abandons the Premises, Landlord may, at its option and for so long as Landlord does not terminate Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises, enforce all of its rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover all Basic Rent, Additional Rent and other payments as they become due hereunder. Additionally, if following an Event of Default, Tenant abandons the Premises, then Landlord will be entitled to recover from Tenant all costs of maintenance and preservation of the Premises, and all costs, including attorneys’ and receiver’s fees, incurred in connection with the appointment of or performance by a receiver to protect the Premises and Landlord’s interest under this Lease.

40

20.5                Indemnity Survives. Nothing herein will be deemed to affect Landlord’s indemnification rights under this Lease.

20.6                Attorneys Fees. If either party brings an action or other proceeding to enforce or interpret any of the terms of this Lease, the non-prevailing party shall pay the reasonable attorneys fees and costs incurred by the prevailing party in such action or proceeding.

20.7                Landlord’s Cure Rights. If Tenant is in default of any of its obligations under this Lease, Landlord may, without waiving such default, perform such obligations for the account and at the expense of Tenant (a) immediately and without notice in the case of Emergency, (b) within ten (10) days after notice from Landlord with respect to the imposition of any Lien against all or any portion of the Property and (c) in any other case, if such default continues after thirty (30) days from the date Landlord delivers a written notice to Tenant stating Landlord’s intention to perform such obligation for the account and at the expense of Tenant. Upon Landlord’s demand, Tenant shall pay to Landlord all reasonable and documented costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in performing any obligations of Tenant under this Lease.

20.8                Remedies Not Exclusive; No Waiver. Except as otherwise provided in this Article 20, no remedy or election hereunder will be deemed exclusive but will, wherever possible, be cumulative with all other remedies herein provided or permitted at law or in equity. No provision of this Lease will be deemed to have been waived by Landlord unless a written waiver from Landlord has first been obtained and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no acceptance of Basic Rent or Additional Rent subsequent to any default and no condoning, excusing or overlooking by Landlord on previous occasions of any default or any earlier written waiver will be taken to operate as a waiver by the Landlord or in any way defeat or otherwise affect the rights and remedies of the Landlord hereunder.

20.9                Tenant’s Cure Rights. (a) If during the Term Landlord shall default with respect to a material obligation in the performance of any maintenance to the Premises for which it is responsible hereunder or in providing any service to the Premises which it is obligated to provide hereunder, and, if not cured, such default would adversely affect Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Premises, then Tenant may cure the default at the expense of Landlord (any work performed by Tenant to satisfy Landlord’s obligations hereunder, including, without limitation, any work to satisfy Landlord’s obligations with respect to an Emergency Required Repair, is referred to herein as “Self Help Work”); provided such default continues for more than thirty (30) days from the date of the giving of notice to Landlord of the default (or shorter or no notice in the event of an Emergency) and of Tenant’s intention to cure the default pursuant to this Section 20.9 provided, further, however, such cure right will be suspended if, within such thirty (30) day period, Landlord commences the cure and thereafter diligently prosecutes same to completion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Landlord shall default in its obligation under this Lease to perform, in accordance with the provisions of this Lease, any Emergency Required Repair (as hereinafter defined), Tenant may cure the default at the expense of Landlord in accordance with the provisions hereof provided such default continues for more than (2) Business Days after the date on which Tenant gives Landlord notice of the default (which notice shall include a statement that the repair constitutes an Emergency Required Repair) and of Tenant’s intention to cure the default pursuant to this Section 20.9; provided, however, such cure right will be suspended if, within such two (2) Business Day period, Landlord commences the cure and

41

thereafter diligently prosecutes same to completion. As used herein, “Emergency Required Repair” means a repair or maintenance within the Premises which Landlord is obligated to perform under this Lease which must be completed immediately to avoid imminent threat of harm to persons or material property damage.

(b)                                 If Tenant, in connection with its performance of any Self Help Work, makes any expenditure, then Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for all reasonable out-of-pocket sums so paid, within thirty (30) days after written demand therefor, which demand shall include reasonable evidence of the costs for which reimbursement is sought, including copies of applicable invoice(s).

(c)                                  In the event Tenant exercises its right to cure pursuant to this Section 20.9, all work performed by Tenant shall be performed conducted in a good and workmanlike manner in accordance with all applicable Legal Requirements and in accordance with all other applicable provisions of this Lease and without interfering with the use, occupancy and rights of other tenants or occupants of the Building. For the avoidance of doubt, Tenant shall not be permitted to perform any Self Help Work in any portions of the Property other than within the Premises.

Tenant will be solely responsible for any damage caused by Tenant’s failure to give Landlord a key to any lock installed by Tenant.

21.7                Reservation of Rights. Landlord reserves the right to make changes, alterations, additions, improvements, repairs and replacements to (i) those portions of the Premises that Landlord is obligated to maintain and repair pursuant to Section 7.2, (ii) the Building and the Property, and (iii) fixtures and equipment in the Building; provided, however, that Landlord shall not unreasonably obstruct access to the Premises or unreasonably interfere with Tenant’s use of the Premises.

ARTICLE 22

23.3                        Cure Rights. In the event of a casualty or an act or omission by Landlord that gives Tenant the right to terminate this Lease or to claim a partial or total eviction, Tenant shall not exercise any such right or make any such claim until (i) Tenant has delivered written notice of such casualty, act or omission to the holder of each Underlying Encumbrance, and (ii) the holder of each Underlying Encumbrance has had a reasonable opportunity to, with reasonable diligence, remedy such casualty act or omission. Landlord shall provide Tenant with the name and current address of the holder of each Underlying Encumbrance and absent such notice, Tenant shall have no obligation to comply with the provisions of clause (i) herein.

have the right to retain such property as its own or dispose of such property at Tenant’s sole cost and expense.

24.2                Short Term Extension. Tenant shall have the right, by notice given to Landlord at least three hundred sixty (360) days prior to the then Termination Date (a “Short Term Extension Notice”), to elect to extend the Term of this Lease for a period of ninety (90) days (the “Short Term Extension Period”). A Short Term Extension Notice delivered by Tenant shall specifically reference this Section 24.2. Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises during the Short Term Extension Period shall be on all of the same terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease except that the Basic Rent payable by Tenant during the Short Term Extension Period shall be in an amount equal to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Basic Rent payable by Tenant immediately prior to the Short Term Extension Period. For the avoidance of doubt if Tenant elects to extend the Term for the Short Term Extension Period and Tenant remains in occupancy of the Premises after the expiration of the Short Term Extension Period, then Tenant shall be deemed a holdover tenant pursuant to Section 24.3 hereof.

24.3                Holding Over. If Tenant, or any assignee or subtenant of Tenant, holds over possession of the Premises beyond the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease (as the Term may be extended for the Short Term Extension period pursuant to Section 24.2 hereof), such holding over will not be deemed to extend the Term or renew this Lease but such holding over will continue upon the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease except that the charge for use and occupancy of the Premises for each calendar month or portion thereof that Tenant or such assignee or subtenant holds over will be a liquidated sum equal to the Applicable Holdover Percentage of the Basic Rent and Additional Rent payable for the month immediately preceding the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. The “Applicable Holdover Percentage” means (i) one hundred fifty percent (150%) for the first ninety (90) days following the Termination Date (as the Term may be extended or the Short Term Extension Period) and (ii) two hundred percent (200%) for all periods from and after the ninetieth (90th) day after the Termination Date (as the Term may be extended or the Short Term Extension Period). The parties recognize and agree that the damage to Landlord resulting from any failure by Tenant or any assignee or subtenant of Tenant to timely surrender possession of the Premises will exceed the amount of the monthly Basic Rent and Additional Rent and will be impossible to accurately measure. Without limiting Landlord’s other remedies under this Lease, if the Premises are not surrendered within thirty (30) days the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease (as the Term may be extended for the Short Term Extension period pursuant to Section 24.2 hereof), Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Landlord against any and all losses and liabilities resulting therefrom, including, without limitation, any claims made by any succeeding tenant founded upon such delay. Nothing contained in this Lease will be construed as a consent by Landlord to the occupancy or possession of the Premises beyond the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, take all actions required to remove any assignee or subtenant of Tenant, or other party claiming rights to the Premises under or through Tenant upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Term. The provisions of this Article 24 will survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

Landlord shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Tenant from and against any loss, claim, damage, expense (including costs of suit and reasonable attorneys’ fees) or liability for any compensation, commission or charges claimed by any realtor, broker, agent or finder claiming to have dealt with Landlord in connection with this Lease including without limitation the Brokers. Landlord agrees to pay Brokers a commission or other compensation in connection with this Lease per separate agreements between Landlord and each of the Brokers. The provisions of this Article 25 will survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease.

ARTICLE 26

NOTICES

Every notice or other communication required or contemplated by this Lease shall be in writing and sent by: (i) certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, or (ii) nationally recognized overnight courier, such as Federal Express or UPS, in each case addressed to the intended recipient at the address set forth in the Basic Lease Provisions or at such other address as the intended recipient previously designated by written notice to the other party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all invoices, statements and Building Communications may be served by ordinary mail or otherwise delivered to Tenant or left at the Premises. “Building Communications” means any notice relating to the operation or maintenance of the Building that is given to substantially all of the tenants of the Building, including, without limitation amendments to the Building Rules and Regulations. Any notice delivered by the attorney for Landlord or Tenant shall be deemed to be delivered by Tenant or Landlord, as the case may be.

ARTICLE 27

NONRECOURSE

Tenant will have no recourse against any individual or entity comprising Landlord, including, without limitation, the members, partners, directors, trustees, and officers of Landlord, in connection with the occupancy and/or use of the Premises by Tenant and Tenant’s Visitors; rather, Tenant agrees to look solely to Landlord’s interest and estate in the Building for the satisfaction of Tenant’s remedies arising out of or related to this Lease including, without limitation, if and to the extent actually received by Landlord, rents and Landlord’s interest in sales and refinancing proceeds and in condemnation and insurance awards (less all costs and expenses of collecting the proceeds or the awards and less all costs and expenses of restoration paid by Landlord on account of the damage or Taking to which condemnation or insurance proceeds or awards relate).

ARTICLE 28

SECURITY DEPOSIT

28.1                                                                        Security. (a) Concurrently with the execution of this Lease, Tenant shall deposit with Landlord an unconditional “evergreen” letter of credit in an amount equal to the Security set forth in the Basic Lease Provisions from a recognized commercial banking institution located in the State of New Jersey or the City of New York and having a net worth of at least $500,000,000.00. The letter of credit (or renewals thereof) shall have an initial term of not less than one (1) year and shall contain an “evergreen clause” providing that it shall automatically renew as of its initial and each subsequent expiry date unless the issuing bank gives Landlord written notice of the non-renewal at least sixty (60) days prior to the then applicable expiry date. The letter of credit or any replacement letter of credit that Tenant delivers to Landlord pursuant to this Article 28 shall be in the form annexed hereto as Schedule L or in a substantially similar form reasonably acceptable to Landlord. The letter of credit will be held by Landlord as security for the full and faithful performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease. The letter of credit must be payable upon sight draft, together with a certification from Landlord that Landlord is entitled to draw down the letter of credit pursuant to the terms of this Lease. If (i) any Basic Rent, Additional Rent or other sum payable by Tenant to Landlord is not paid when due, or (ii) Landlord makes any payments on behalf of Tenant, or (iii) Tenant fails to perform any of its obligations under this Lease, then, in each case, Landlord will have the right, without prejudice to any other remedy Landlord may have, to draw down such letter of credit to compensate or reimburse Landlord, as the case may be, toward the payment of Basic Rent, Additional Rent or other such sum payable hereunder, or other loss or damage sustained by Landlord on account of Tenant’s default. The Security will not be deemed to be (x) a limitation on Landlord’s damages or other rights and remedies available under this Lease or at law or equity, (y) a payment of liquidated damages, or (z) an advance of the Basic Rent or Additional Rent. If Landlord uses, applies, or retains all or any portion of the Security, Tenant shall immediately restore the Security to its original amount. At least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of any letter of credit delivered by Tenant to Landlord, or the expiration of any replacement letter of credit, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord written confirmation from the issuing bank confirming the extension of such original or replacement letter of credit. If Tenant fails to timely provide Landlord with such evidence of renewal, Landlord will have the right to draw down the entire letter of credit and to retain the proceeds as security hereunder. Landlord will not be required to keep any cash security separate from its own funds. Landlord will have no fiduciary responsibilities or trust obligations with regard to any cash security and will not be obligated to pay Tenant any interest on any cash security. Tenant shall not assign, pledge, hypothecate, mortgage or otherwise encumber the Security.

(b)                                 If at any time during the Term (as the same may be extended) Landlord reasonably determines that the financial condition of the issuer of the then current letter of credit is such that Landlord’s ability to draw upon such letter of credit is, or in the future may be, impaired, restricted, refused or otherwise adversely affected, then Tenant shall, within ten (10) Business Days of Landlord’s written request to Tenant, obtain a replacement letter of credit in substitution for the then current letter of credit in the form and amount required herein from an issuer acceptable to Landlord in Landlord’s reasonable discretion.

47

(c)                          (i)                                     Provided that no Event of Default has occurred under this Lease, Tenant shall have the right to reduce the amount of the Security from $450,000.00 to $300,000.00 as of the one hundred eightieth (180th) day after the Basic Rent Commencement Date.

(ii)                                  Provided (A) no Event of Default has occurred, (B) that the Security has been reduced in accordance with Section 28.1(c)(i) hereof and (C) that, on or before (but no more than thirty (30) days prior to) the one hundred eightieth (180th) day after the second (2nd) anniversary of the Adjustment Date, Tenant provides Landlord with evidence, to Landlord’s reasonable satisfaction, that Tenant has the financial capability to satisfy its remaining obligations under this Lease, Tenant shall have the right to reduce the amount of the Security from $300,000.00 to $150,000.00 as of the one hundred eightieth (180th) day after the second (2nd) anniversary of the Adjustment Date.

(iii)                               To effectuate the reduction in the Security pursuant to Section 28.1(c)(i) or Section 28.1(c)(ii), Tenant shall obtain and deliver to Landlord either a new letter of credit, complying with the provisions of this Article 28, or an amendment to the existing letter of credit in form reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, reflecting the then-applicable amount of the Security. If Tenant obtains a new letter of credit, Landlord shall surrender the existing letter of credit to Tenant simultaneously with its receipt of the new letter of credit. Until Landlord receives any such new letter of credit or amended letter of credit, the Security shall remain at the level of the letter of credit then held by Landlord.

28.2                        Return of Security. So long as an Event of Default does not exist, any part of the Security not used, applied, or retained by Landlord shall be returned, without interest, to Tenant within sixty (60) days after the end of the Term, subject to Landlord’s final inspection of the Premises.

28.3                        Bankruptcy. In the event of bankruptcy or other debtor-creditor proceeding against Tenant, the Security will be deemed to be applied first to the payment of rent and other charges due Landlord for all periods prior to filing of such proceedings.

28.4                        Transfer of Security. In the event of any transfer of title to the Property or the Building or any assignment of Landlord’s interest under this Lease, (i) with respect to any cash portion of the Security, Landlord will have the right to transfer such cash portion to such transferee, provided that Landlord gives Tenant the name and address of such transferee, (ii) with respect to any Security held by Landlord in the form of a letter of credit, Tenant shall, upon request from Landlord, obtain either a new letter of credit from the issuing bank containing the same terms and for the same face amount as the letter of credit then held by Landlord which names the new landlord as the beneficiary, or the written consent of the issuing bank to the assignment of the then existing letter of credit from Landlord to the new landlord in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the new landlord. If Tenant obtains a new letter of credit, Landlord shall surrender the existing letter of credit to Tenant simultaneously with its receipt of the new letter of credit; the parties agree to coordinate such delivery and surrender so that it is done on the effective date of the transfer of title to the Property or Building or the assignment of this Lease by Landlord. Following any such transfer of the cash portion of the Security, or such assignment or surrender of any Security held in the form of a letter of credit, as applicable,

48

Landlord will be automatically released from all liability for the return of the Security. The provisions of this Section 28.4 will apply to every transfer of the Security to a new transferee.

28.5                        Cooperation. If the letter of credit held by Landlord is lost, stolen, mutilated or otherwise missing or destroyed, Tenant shall, within ten (10) Business Days after request from Landlord, obtain a duplicate letter of credit from the issuing bank containing the same terms and for the same face amount as the letter of credit that was lost, stolen, mutilated or otherwise missing or destroyed, provided that Landlord cooperates in providing any reasonable written confirmation or other verification that the issuer of the letter of credit may require.

ARTICLE 29

MISCELLANEOUS

29.1                        Miscellaneous. This Lease may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of both parties. If any provision of this Lease is held unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, all other provisions of this Lease will remain effective. If any provision of this Lease is held unenforceable only in part or degree, it will remain effective to the extent not held unenforceable. This Lease will bind and benefit both parties’ permitted successors and assigns. The table of contents and the article and section headings contained in this Lease are for convenience of reference only and will not limit or otherwise affect the meaning of any provision of this Lease. This Lease may be executed in counterparts, each of which is an original and all of which together constitute one and the same instrument.

29.2                        No Surrender. No act or thing done by Landlord or Landlord’s agents during the Term will be deemed an acceptance of a surrender of the Premises, and no agreement to accept such surrender will be valid unless in writing and signed by Landlord. No employee of Landlord or Landlord’s agents will have any authority to accept the keys to the Premises prior to the Termination Date and the delivery of keys to any employee of Landlord or Landlord’s agents will not operate as an acceptance of a termination of this Lease or an acceptance of a surrender of the Premises.

29.3                        Statements and Bills. Landlord’s failure to prepare and deliver to Tenant any statement, notice or ▇▇▇▇ will in no way cause Landlord to forfeit or surrender its rights to collect any amounts due and owing to Landlord provided any required notice or ▇▇▇▇ is provided to Tenant within no more than one (1) year after the date it was required by the terms of this Lease to be provided to Tenant.

29.4                        Relocation. (a) Landlord hereby reserves the right, at its sole option, to relocate Tenant to other space within the Building (the “New Space”) so long as the following preconditions are satisfied:

(i)                                     the rentable square footage of the New Space is the same as, or within 100 square feet (plus or minus) of, the rentable square footage of the Premises; and

(ii)                                  Landlord, at its sole cost and expense, has completed the New Space and has prepared the same for Tenant’s occupancy so that the layout and the level of finish therein is reasonably comparable to the layout and the level of finish of the Premises, including, without limitation, the New Space has the same number of offices and conference rooms and

49

approximately the same number of windows and approximately the same saw tooth window lines.

If Landlord elects to exercise its relocation right, Landlord agrees to notify Tenant of said exercise and of the estimated date of the relocation, which date shall not be less than sixty (60) days after the date of Landlord’s notice. Landlord shall not have the right to exercise its relocation right under this Section 29.4 (i) more than one time during the Term of this Lease (which, for the avoidance of doubt, includes the Extension Term) or (ii) during the first or last Lease Years of the Term hereunder.

(b)                                 Landlord’s Reimbursement. Within twenty (20) days of the date Landlord notifies Tenant that the New Space is ready for occupancy, Tenant shall vacate the Premises and move into the New Space. Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Tenant in connection with (i) moving its equipment, furniture and other personal property from the Premises to the New Space, (ii) installing its telephone and computer systems in the New Space, (iii) installing its identification sign at the entrance to the New Space and (iv) preparing new business cards, stationary or letterhead (in an amount not to exceed $5,000.00). Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for such actual and documented costs and expenses within thirty (30) days of Landlord’s receipt of such documentation of the costs and expenses incurred by Tenant in moving to the New Space.

(c)                                  Amendments to Lease. If Landlord exercises its right to relocate Tenant, Landlord and Tenant shall, within twenty (20) days after the date Tenant takes possession of the New Space, amend the provisions of this Lease affected by such relocation. If the size of the New Space is less than the size of the Premises, then amount of the Basic Rent and Tenant’s Proportionate Share are affected, the Basic Rent and Additional Rent for the calendar month in which the move to the New Space occurs will be equitably adjusted. If the size of the New Space is greater than the size of the Premises, Tenant’s Basic Rent and Tenant’s Proportionate Share shall not change. Within five (5) Business Days of the date Tenant takes possession of the New Space, Landlord shall refund to Tenant any amount owing to Tenant as a result of the above adjustment of Basic Rent and Additional Rent.

29.5                New Space. After Tenant takes possession of the New Space, the term “Premises” will be deemed to refer to the New Space.

29.6                Tenant’s Financials. Tenant shall keep proper books and records of account in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, within one hundred twenty (120) days after the close of each Tenant’s fiscal year, a balance sheet and statement of income and expense for such year (which statement must separately set forth the expenses of the Premises). In addition, Tenant shall provide Landlord, within ten (10) days of Landlord’s request, such other information with respect to Tenant as Landlord may reasonably request from time to time. All financial statements must include a complete comparison with the figures for the preceding year and must be certified by (a) the chief financial officer of Tenant, or (b) if prepared by any accounting firm, by such accounting firm. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if annual audited financial statements of Tenant are publicly available, then Tenant shall not be obligated to provide a balance sheet, a statement of income and expense or any other information to Landlord pursuant to this Section 29.6.

50

29.7                        No Offer. The submission of this Lease to Tenant for examination does not constitute an offer to lease the Premises on the terms set forth herein. This Lease will become effective only upon the execution and delivery of the Lease by Landlord and Tenant.

29.8                        Access. Subject to all applicable Legal Requirements and to Landlord’s Rules and Regulations, Tenant shall be permitted keyed access to the Premises twenty-four (24) hours per day, seven (7) days per week.

29.9                        Rules and Regulations. Tenant, for itself and for Tenant’s Visitors, covenants to comply with the Rules and Regulations attached hereto as Schedule E. Landlord will have the right to amend the Rules and Regulations from time to time, and Tenant, on behalf of itself and Tenant’s Visitors, agrees to comply with such amendments after deliveries of copies thereof to Tenant or the posting of copies thereof in a prominent place in the Building. In case of any conflict or inconsistency between the provisions of this Lease and any Rules and Regulations, the provisions of this Lease shall control. To the extent Landlord enforces the Rules and Regulations, it shall do so in a non-discriminatory manner.

29.10                 Authority. Tenant represents and warrants to Landlord: (i) the execution and delivery of, the consummation of the transactions contemplated by and the performance of all its obligations under, this Lease by Tenant have been duly and validly authorized by its general partners, to the extent required by its partnership agreement and applicable law, if Tenant is a partnership or, if Tenant is a limited liability company, by its manager, representative(s) or members to the extent required by its operating agreement and applicable law or, if Tenant is a corporation, by its board of directors, if necessary, and by its stockholders, if necessary, at meetings duly called and held on proper notice for that purpose at which there were respective quorums present and voting throughout; (ii) no other approval, partnership, corporate, governmental or otherwise, is required to authorize any of the foregoing or to give effect to Tenant’s execution and delivery of this Lease; and (iii) the individual (or individuals) who executes and delivers this Lease on behalf of Tenant is authorized to do so.

29.11                 Liability of Landlord.

Landlord may sell its fee ownership or leasehold interest in the Building or the Property, and/or transfer or assign its rights under this Lease. In the event of any sale of such interest or transfer of such rights and upon the assumption, in writing, of the obligations of Landlord under this Lease by such assignee or transferee, Landlord herein named (and in case of any subsequent transfer, the then assignor) shall be automatically freed and relieved from and after the date of such transfer of all liability in respect of the performance of any of Landlord’s covenants and agreements thereafter accruing, and such transferee shall thereafter be automatically bound by all of such covenants and agreements, subject, however, to the terms of this Lease; it being intended that Landlord’s covenants and agreements shall be binding on Landlord, its successors and assigns, only during and in respect of their successive periods of such ownership).

29.12                 Requests for Consent. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, within twenty (20) days after demand therefor, as Additional Rent, all reasonable, actual and documented out-of-pocket fees,

51

ARTICLE 31

EXTENSION OPTION

31.1                Extension Option. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 31.1, Landlord hereby grants to Tenant the right to extend the original Term for one (1) period of five (5) years (the “Extension Period”). If Tenant desires to exercise the extension option, Tenant shall notify Landlord on or before the date which is twelve (12) months prior to the expiration of the original Term. If Tenant fails to timely notify Landlord of its election to extend this Lease,

52

Tenant will be deemed to have waived its right to extend the term of this Lease, time being of the essence with respect to the exercise of such extension option. If Tenant exercises the extension option, all of the terms and conditions of this Lease will apply to the Extension Period, except that the Basic Rent for the Extension Period will equal an amount determined pursuant to Section 31.2 and the Base Period for the Extension Period shall be reset to the calendar year in which the Extension Period commences. In connection with any extension of the Term, Landlord will not be obligated to do any work to the Premises and will not be obligated to contribute to the cost of any work done to the Premises by Tenant. Tenant’s right to exercise the extension option is expressly subject to the satisfaction of all of the following conditions on both the date Tenant exercises the extension option and the commencement date of the Extension Period: (i) an Event of Default shall not exist under this Lease; (ii) Tenant must be in occupancy of the entire Premises; and (iii) Tenant must not have sublet any part of the Premises other than as permitted by Section 16.7 hereof. If all of the foregoing conditions are not satisfied on both the date Tenant exercises the Extension Option and the commencement date of the Extension Period, then unless Landlord elects in writing (in its sole discretion) to waive any of such conditions, any notice exercising the extension option will be automatically null and void. Any waiver of the condition set forth in clause (i) above shall not constitute a waiver of such default, but simply a waiver of such condition in connection with Tenant’s exercise of its extension option for the applicable Extension Period.

31.2                                                                        Extension Period Rent. (a) Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Basic Rent during the Extension Period, the Fair Market Rental Value of the Premises. “Fair Market Rental Value” means the annual basic rent for each year of the relevant period for which, on the terms and conditions of this Lease, a willing landlord would rent the Premises to a willing tenant with neither party being compelled to rent and after appropriate exposure of the Premises to the market for a reasonable period of time taking into account all relevant factors, including, without limitation, the resetting of the Base Period, and rent concessions and refitting allowances, if any, and the fact that Landlord is not obligated to perform any work to prepare the Premises for Tenant’s occupancy with respect to the Extension Period. Notwithstanding the forgoing, in no event will the Fair Market Rental Value be less than the Basic Rent plus the Additional Rent payable for the year immediately preceding the commencement of the Extension Period.

(b)                                 At least one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the expiration of the initial Term, Landlord and Tenant shall endeavor to mutually agree upon the Fair Market Rental Value. If the parties do not agree on the Fair Market Rental Value prior to ninety (90) days prior to the expiration of the initial Term, as evidenced by an amendment to this Lease executed by Landlord and Tenant, then, no later than seventy-five (75) days prior to the expiration of the initial Term, Landlord and Tenant shall deliver to each other Landlord’s or Tenant’s, as the case may be, determination of the Fair Market Rental Value. If the two determinations differ by less than five percent (5%), the Fair Market Rental Value will be the average of the two determinations. If Landlord’s and Tenant’s determinations of Fair Market Rental Value differ by five percent (5%) or more, then the Fair Market Rental Value will be determined pursuant to Section 31.2(c).

(c)                                  If Landlord’s and Tenant’s determinations of Fair Market Rental Value differ by five percent (5%) or more, then, within ten (10) days after each party delivers to the other party such party’s determination of the Fair Market Rental Value, Landlord and Tenant shall each appoint one disinterested appraiser having the qualifications set forth herein. Each

53

such appraiser must be a Member of the Appraisal Institute (MAI) and have at least ten (10) years of experience appraising multi-tenanted office buildings in northern New Jersey as a MAI appraiser. If either Landlord or Tenant fails to appoint an appraiser within such ten (10) day period, the appraiser appointed by Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be, shall appoint an appraiser having the qualifications set forth herein. As promptly as possible, but in no event later than thirty (30) days after the appointment of both appraisers, the appraisers shall notify Landlord and Tenant in writing of their determination of the Fair Market Rental Value. The Fair Market Rental Value so selected by the two appraisers will constitute the Fair Market Rental Value for the relevant period, and will be binding upon Landlord and Tenant. If the two appraisers are unable to agree as to the Fair Market Rental Value, but their determinations differ by less than five percent (5%), the Fair Market Rental Value will be the average of the determinations of the two appraisers. If the two appraisers’ determinations differ by five percent (5%) or more, then the two appraisers shall, promptly agree upon and appoint a third appraiser having the qualifications set forth herein. The third appraiser shall, within thirty (30) days of appointment, determine which of the two initial appraisers determination of Fair Market Rental Value is the closest to the actual Fair Market Rental Value, taking into account the requirements of this Section 31.2, and shall notify Landlord and Tenant thereof. The Fair Market Rental Value selected by the third appraiser will constitute the Fair Market Rental Value for the relevant period, and will be binding upon Landlord and Tenant. Upon the determination of the Fair Market Rental Value, Landlord and Tenant shall promptly execute an instrument setting forth the amount of such Fair Market Rental Value.

(d)                                 If Tenant becomes obligated to pay Basic Rent for the Extension Period prior to the determination of Fair Market Rental Value pursuant to this Section 31.2, Tenant shall commence paying the Basic Rent in an amount equal to the monthly installment of Basic Rent for the month immediately prior to the Extension Period. Within five (5) days of the determination of Fair Market Rental Value, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the difference, if any, between the Basic Rent paid by Tenant pursuant to the foregoing sentence and the Fair Market Rental Value for such period. Each party shall pay the fees and expenses of the appraiser appointed by such party and one-half of the other expenses of any appraisal proceeding, including, if applicable, the fees and expenses of a third appraiser.

ARTICLE 32

RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER

32.1                (a)                                 Subject to the provisions of this Article 32, if during the Term, any Offer Space becomes available for leasing, Landlord agrees to notify Tenant of the availability of the Offer Space (“Landlord’s Offer Space Notice”) at any time determined by Landlord, so long as such notification is before Landlord’s execution of a lease agreement with a third party for the Offer Space. As used herein, the term “Offer Space” means any office space located on the third (3rd) floor or fourth (4th) floor of the Building. Landlord’s Offer Space Notice shall (i) identify which Offer Space is becoming available (the “Designated Offer Unit”), (ii) set forth the date on which Landlord reasonably anticipates it can deliver possession of the Designated Offer Unit, and (iii) specify the material terms and conditions pursuant to which Landlord desires to lease the Designated Offer Unit, including, the basic annual rent for the Designated Offer Unit (which terms shall be in Landlord’s sole discretion). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Landlord desires to enter into a lease with a third party for all or any portion of the Offer Space together with other

54

space in the Building, then, in satisfaction of Landlord’s obligation under this Article 32, Landlord shall have the right to offer Tenant the space which Landlord desires to lease to the third party (i.e., the space which includes all or any portion of the Offer Space together with such other space in the Building) and such space shall be deemed to be the Designated Offer Unit for purposes of this Article 32. Within ten (10) days after its receipt of Landlord’s Offer Space Notice, Tenant shall notify Landlord whether Tenant desires to lease the Designated Offer Unit on the terms and conditions set forth in Landlord’s Offer Space Notice and this Article 32 (“Tenant’s Offer Space Notice”), TIME BEING OF THE ESSENCE with respect to the delivery of Tenant’s Offer Space Notice. If Tenant fails to notify Landlord of its desire to lease the Designated Offer Unit within said ten (10) day period, then Tenant shall be deemed to have permanently waived its right to lease the Designated Offer Unit, and Landlord shall have the right to lease the Designated Offer Unit to any other person or entity on terms and conditions acceptable to Landlord in its sole discretion; provided however, with respect to the first lease that Landlord enters into after Tenant has waived (or is deemed to have waived) its right to lease the Designated Offer Unit, if Landlord shall desire to lease the Designated Offer Unit to another person (“Third Party Lease”) and the “material economic terms” of such Third Party Lease when considered collectively are “substantially different” from the “material economic terms” considered collectively which were set forth in the original Landlord’s Offer Space Notice for such Designated Offer Unit, then Tenant’s rights with respect to the Designated Offer Unit under this Article 32 shall be reactivated; and provided further, however, if Landlord fails to enter into a lease with a third party for the Designated Offer Unit within two hundred seventy (270) days of the date that Landlord delivered the Landlord’s Offer Space Notice to Tenant, then, Tenant’s rights under this Article 32 shall be reactivated. For the avoidance of doubt, Landlord may, if it elects, give to Tenant more than one Landlord’s Offer Space Notice in any two hundred seventy (270) day period, which subsequent Landlord’s Offer Space Notices, if given, would extend the period in which Landlord has to lease the Designated Offer Unit to a third party free of Tenant’s rights (assuming that Tenant does not elect to lease the Designated Offer Unit in accordance with the provisions hereof after receiving the subsequent Landlord’s Offer Space Notice). For purposes of this Section 32.1(a), “material economic terms” shall be the basic rent, additional rent, improvement allowances and free rent or other financial incentives which collectively comprise the financial portion of the terms and conditions of Landlord’s Offer Space Notice or the Third Party Lease, as the case may be, and “substantially different” shall mean that the material economic terms set forth in the Third Party Lease, when considered collectively, shall be more than ten percent (10%) more beneficial to the third party than the material economic terms, when considered collectively, which were set forth in Landlord’s Offer Space Notice given by Landlord to Tenant.

(b)           If Tenant notifies Landlord of its desire to lease the Designated Offer Unit within said ten (10) day period, then, as of the date of Tenant’s notice, Tenant shall be deemed to have leased the Designated Offer Unit on the terms and conditions set forth in this Article 32; to memorialize such leasing, Tenant shall execute, at Landlord’s election, a new lease or an amendment to this Lease (such new lease or amendment being called the “Offer Space Lease”) for the Designated Offer Unit, which Offer Space Lease shall contain the same terms and conditions as set forth in this Lease, except (i) such terms and conditions shall be modified to reflect the terms and conditions of Landlord’s Offer Space Notice, (ii) the Offer Space Lease shall not contain the provisions of this Article 32, Article 31, Article 33, Article 34 or Article 35 of this Lease, (iii) the term of such leasing shall commence on the date on which Landlord delivers possession of the Designated Offer Unit to Tenant, unless Landlord, in its sole

55

discretion, elects to designate a different Offer Space Commencement Date in Landlord’s Offer Space Notice, (iv) with respect to the leasing of a Designated Offer Unit pursuant to a Landlord’s Offer Space Notice given prior to the first (1st) anniversary of the Commencement Date, the term of the leasing of the Designated Offer Unit shall be co-terminus with the Term of this Lease, including any Extension Period, (v) Tenant agrees to accept the Designated Offer Unit in its “as is” condition as of the commencement of such leasing, except for any work which Landlord, in its sole discretion, elects to perform as specified in Landlord’s Offer Space Notice, and (vi) the rent for the Designated Offer Unit shall start on the commencement of such leasing, except if Landlord elects, in its sole discretion, for the rent to start on a different date as specified in Landlord’s Offer Space Notice. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 32, Tenant’s failure or refusal to execute the Offer Space Lease shall not be deemed to rescind Tenant’s notice to Landlord, and Tenant shall remain bound by the terms of this Article 32.

32.2        Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 32, Tenant hereby acknowledges and agrees that its right of first offer is subject to any rights granted prior to the date of this Lease by Landlord to any other tenant of the Building as identified on Schedule K attached hereto and Landlord’s right, in its sole discretion, to extend and/or renew the lease of any tenant now or hereafter occupying or leasing any of the Offer Space.

32.3        In the event Tenant assigns this Lease or sublets all or any portion of the Premises to any person or entity (except for an assignment or sublet pursuant to Section 16.7 hereof), then the provisions of this Article 32 shall be deemed automatically null and void, and of no further force or effect. The rights of first offer granted to Tenant pursuant to this Article 32 shall be deemed personal to the Tenant named on the first page of this Lease and cannot be assigned separately from this Lease or in connection with an assignment of this Lease (except for an assignment pursuant to Section 16.7 hereof).

32.4        Tenant acknowledges and agrees that the provisions of this Article 32 shall not apply during any period of time there is an Event of Default (or an event which, with the giving of notice or the passage of time, or both, would constitute an Event of Default under this Lease) and that during such period, Landlord shall have the right to enter into a lease for all or any part of the Offer Space without first offering said space to Tenant

32.5        In the event Tenant waives, or is deemed to have waived, its right to lease any Offer Space pursuant to this Article 32, then within ten (10) days after request of Landlord, Landlord and Tenant shall enter into an agreement memorializing Tenant’s waiver; provided, however, Tenant’s failure or refusal to execute such agreement shall not affect Tenant’s waiver, or deemed waiver, as the case may be.

(a)           As soon as reasonably possible after the date of execution of this Lease, but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days after the execution of this Lease, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord four (4) sets of working plans and specifications prepared in conformity with the Preliminary Plans, which working plans and specifications shall: (i) be prepared and stamped by a licensed professional engineer and/or architect both of whom have been approved by Landlord, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld; (ii) be in compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements; and (iii) include, without limitation, construction working drawings, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing drawings (MEPs), fire protection system, safety systems, and other technical specifications, and the finishing details, including without limitation a list of the types and quality of materials to be used in constructing the Finish Work, including Tenant’s selection of Landlord’s standard finishes, wall finishes, colors and technical and mechanical equipment installation, if any, detailing installation of the Finish Work. Landlord shall notify Tenant whether it approves or disapproves of such working plans and specifications within ten (10) Business Days after Landlord’s receipt thereof. If Landlord notifies Tenant of any objections to such working plans and specifications (such notice, an “Objection Notice”), Tenant shall make necessary revisions and resubmit the same to Landlord within seven (7) Business Days of Tenant’s receipt of the Objection Notice. Landlord shall approve or disapprove such revised working plans and specifications within five (5) Business Days after Tenant submits the same to Landlord. Landlord’s approval shall be evidenced by endorsement to that effect on one set of the working plans and specifications and the return of such signed set to Tenant. If Tenant fails to take any action within the time periods specified in this Schedule D, such delay (beyond the applicable time period set forth herein) shall be accounted for as a Tenant Delay. The working plans and specifications approved by Landlord are hereinafter referred to as the “Working Plans”.

(b)           If Tenant desires any changes to the Working Plans, Tenant shall submit such proposed changes to Landlord. Within five (5) Business Days after receipt of any proposed changes from Tenant, Landlord shall approve or reject such changes and, if rejecting such changes, shall state the reasons for such rejection. Landlord shall, upon granting of any approval for any changes, notify Tenant of (i) the amount of additional cost arising therefrom, if any, including, without limitation, the cost to revise any plans and specifications (all such additional costs being referred to herein as “Additional Construction Cost”), which Additional Construction Cost Tenant shall pay to Landlord upon demand, and (ii) Landlord’s estimate of

the amount of additional time (the “Estimated Time Delay”), if any, required by Landlord to implement and complete such changes, which Estimated Time Delay will be accounted for as a Tenant Delay. Tenant reserves the right to approve the Additional Construction Cost and Estimated Time Delay within three (3) days of the date Landlord provides the same to Tenant. If Tenant fails to notify Landlord in writing within such three (3) day period that Tenant does not approve the Additional Construction Cost and Estimated Time Delay, then Tenant will be deemed to have withdrawn its request for such changes. Any delays in constructing the Finish Work associated with changes requested by Tenant, whether or not those changes are ultimately made by Landlord, will be accounted for as a Tenant Delay. In the event of a rejection by Landlord of any proposed changes, Tenant may revise such changes and re-submit them pursuant hereto. All plans submitted by Tenant to Landlord must be signed and sealed and in proper and sufficient form for Landlord to obtain all necessary permits and approvals to construct the Premises in accordance with such plans. All change order requests and information pertaining thereto shall be conveyed to Landlord by ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, Tenant’s designated representative in this regard.

3.          (a)           Landlord shall bid the Finish Work to three general contractors and shall forward copies of such bids to Tenant, together with Landlord’s recommendation as to which general contractor Tenant should select to perform the Finish Work. Within five (5) days of receiving the bids, Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing which of the three general contractors Tenant has selected to perform the Finish Work (such general contractor, the “General Contractor”). Landlord shall enter into a fixed price contract for the Finish Work with the General Contractor.

(b)           If, prior to or during Landlord’s performance of the Finish Work, Landlord determines that any materials or equipment to be installed as part of the Finish Work as set forth in the Working Plans will not be available to Landlord due to shortages, labor disputes, transportation delays or otherwise at the time required by Landlord’s construction schedule, then Landlord shall have the right, upon notice to Tenant, to substitute reasonably comparable materials and/or equipment from those specified in the Working Plans. Any substitutions made in accordance with this Section 3(b) shall be deemed to amend and be a part of the Working Plans.

(c)           Landlord shall have the right to make reasonable and non-material changes/field adjustments in and to the Working Plans to the extent that the same shall be necessary or desirable in order to adjust to actual field conditions or to cause the Finish Work to comply with any applicable Legal Requirements or Insurance Requirements. Landlord shall notify Tenant of all changes/field adjustments and shall note such change/field adjustments on the applicable plans or documents, and such plans or documents, as noted with such changes/field adjustments, shall constitute the final as-built drawings and specifications for the Finish Work.

(d)           Upon reasonable prior notice from Tenant, Landlord shall provide Tenant and its project manager with access to the Premises from time to time prior to the Commencement Date to permit Tenant to review and inspect the status of Landlord’s performance of the Finish Work. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that such access shall be in accordance with all other terms and conditions of this Lease, except for those provisions relating to the payment of Basic Rent, and the payment of Additional Rent on account of Taxes,

Landlord’s Operating Expenses and electricity. Tenant agrees that Tenant shall not damage, delay or interfere with the prosecution or completion of the Finish Work in connection with such access and that any delay or interference with the prosecution or completion of the Finish Work shall be deemed to be a Tenant Delay.

(e)           Landlord agrees that Finish Work shall be free from defects in materials and/or workmanship for a period of one (1) year from the Commencement Date. If any such defects arise during such one (1) year period, and if Tenant has given Landlord a notice describing in reasonable detail such defects before the first (1st) anniversary of the Commencement Date (time being of the essence with respect thereto), then Landlord agrees to repair and/or correct such defects in materials or workmanship at its sole cost and expense within thirty (30) days after its receipt of Tenant’s notice or such longer period as may be reasonably required.

4.             Based on the Preliminary Plans, Landlord estimates that the cost of constructing the Finish Work is One Million Two Hundred Sixty One Thousand Two Hundred Ninety Seven and 24/100 Dollars ($1,261,297.24) (the “Estimated Cost”). Landlord has agreed to contribute Eight Hundred Seventy Three Thousand Eight Hundred Dollars $873,800.00 ($40.00 per rentable square foot of the Premises) (the “Allowance”) to the Costs of the Finish Work. As used herein, “Costs” means the costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with the Finish Work, including, without limitation, labor and materials, permit fees, general conditions, insurance premiums, the General Contractor’s overhead and profit, architectural fees, engineering fees, and design fees and other similar “soft costs”. Tenant shall, upon the execution of this Lease, pay to Landlord an amount equal to the excess of the Estimated Cost over the Allowance (the “Excess”). Costs will be funded from the Allowance and the Excess on a pari passu basis. If, at any time, Landlord determines that the actual cost of constructing the Finish Work will exceed the Estimated Cost, Tenant shall pay such excess amount to Landlord within ten (10) days following demand, whether such work has been completed or not, and such payment by Tenant shall be deemed to be a part of the Excess. If the Estimated Cost exceeds the actual cost of constructing the Finish Work, Landlord shall pay the remaining balance of the Excess to Tenant upon Substantial Completion of the Finish Work. If the Costs are less than the Allowance, Landlord shall credit the remaining balance of the Allowance against the Basic Rent first coming due under this Lease. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall Landlord be obligated to pay for Costs of the Finish Work pursuant to this Section 4 that exceed the Allowance.

5.             (a) Without Landlord’s prior written consent, Tenant shall not perform any work in or to the Premises or move any of its furniture, equipment or property into the Premises until Landlord has Substantially Completed the Finish Work. If Landlord consents to same, Tenant shall pay for any labor or security personnel required to be employed by Landlord in connection with the performance of work by Tenant and any standby labor, if required, by any union labor and otherwise comply with union requirements, if any, applicable thereto.

(b)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above in Paragraph 5(a), Tenant may install wiring for its telephone, computer and data systems and perform other ancillary work to prepare the Premises for Tenant’s occupancy (said work being hereinafter collectively referred to as “Tenant’s Work”) prior to the Commencement Date. Landlord agrees to give Tenant access to the Premises at least four (4) weeks prior to the Commencement

Date for the purposes of constructing Tenant’s Work, subject to the terms and conditions of this Schedule D.

(c)           Tenant acknowledges and agrees that such access shall be in accordance with all other terms and conditions of this Lease, except for those provisions relating to the payment of Basic Rent, and the payment of Additional Rent on account of Taxes, Landlord’s Operating Expenses and electricity.

(d)           Prior to commencing any of Tenant’s Work, Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing of the names of the contractors who will perform Tenant’s Work, and Tenant shall furnish to Landlord such other information as Landlord may reasonably request. Such contractors shall be approved in advance by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Tenant agrees that, if requested by Landlord, Tenant’s contractors shall not be labor union members. Tenant agrees further that (x) Tenant’s contractors shall perform Tenant’s Work during such times as Landlord reasonably determines, (y) Tenant’s Work shall be coordinated with the performance of the Finish Work, and (z) Tenant’s Work shall not damage, delay or interfere with the prosecution or completion of the Finish Work. In the event Tenant’s contractors do not work in harmony with, or interfere with, the General Contractor or other labor employed by Landlord or by Landlord’s contractors in connection with the Finish Work, or in the event of the occurrence of any work stoppage, strike or other labor dispute on the Property arising out of or in connection with Tenant’s contractors, then Landlord will have the right to require Tenant to remove or to cause the removal of those contractors designated by Landlord. If the designated contractors are not removed immediately, and such failure causes a delay in the construction of the Finish Work, then such delay will be accounted for as a Tenant Delay.

(e)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, Landlord will not be liable for any injury, loss or damage which may occur to any of Tenant’s Work or to any fixtures, equipment or other property installed by Tenant in connection with Tenant’s Work. Tenant’s Work and such items installed and/or placed in or about the Premises will be done so solely at Tenant’s risk.

(f)            Prior to entering upon the Premises, Tenant shall submit proof to Landlord’s satisfaction that Tenant has in full force and effect the insurances required under Article 14 of the Lease.

(g)           Except for Tenant’s Work, Tenant will not be permitted to do any other work in the Premises prior to the Commencement Date without Landlord’s prior written consent, which consent shall be at Landlord’s sole discretion.

S T A T E M E N T   O F   A G R E E M E N T

For and in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained, the sum of Ten Dollars ($10.00) and other good and valuable considerations, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and notwithstanding anything in the Lease to the contrary, it is hereby agreed as follows:

1.                                      Lender, Tenant and Landlord do hereby covenant and agree, upon execution and delivery of this Agreement, that the Lease with all rights, options (including options to acquire or lease all or any part of the Premises), liens and charges created thereby, is and shall continue to be subject and subordinate in all respects to the Mortgage and to any renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof and to all advancements made thereunder.

2.                                      Lender does hereby covenant and agree with Tenant that, in the event Lender (or its designee) acquires title to the Premises by foreclosure, conveyance in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, so long as Tenant is not in default under the Lease beyond any applicable notice and cure periods and Tenant complies with and performs its obligations under the Lease, (a) the Lease shall continue in full force and effect as a direct Lease between Lender (or its designee) (“Successor Owner”) and Tenant, upon and subject to all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease, for the balance of the term of the Lease (including any extensions thereof), and Lender will not disturb the possession of Tenant, (b) the Premises shall be subject to the Lease

and Lender shall recognize Tenant as the tenant of the Premises for the remainder of the term of the Lease (including any extensions thereof) in accordance with the provisions thereof, and (c) Successor Owner shall perform all obligations of the Landlord under the Lease arising from the day that Successor Owner takes title to the Property; provided, however, that Lender shall not be (i) subject to any claims, offsets or defenses which Tenant might have against any prior landlord (including Landlord), (ii) liable for any act or omission of any prior landlord (including Landlord), except to the extent such act or omission continues during the period of ownership or possession of Successor Owner or during a period when Successor Owner is receiving rents from Tenant pursuant to paragraph 4 hereof, (iii) bound by any rent or additional rent which Tenant might have paid for more than the current month or any security deposit or other prepaid charge paid to any prior landlord (including Landlord), or (iv) bound by any amendment or modification of the Lease made without its written consent. Nothing contained herein shall prevent Lender from naming Tenant in any foreclosure or other action or proceeding initiated by Lender pursuant to the Mortgage to the extent necessary under applicable law in order for Lender to avail itself of and complete the foreclosure or other remedy.

3.                                      Tenant does hereby covenant and agree with Lender that, in the event Lender (or its designee) acquires title to the Premises by foreclosure, conveyance in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, then Tenant shall attorn to and recognize Lender (or its designee) as the landlord under the Lease for the remainder of the term thereof (including any extensions thereof), and Tenant shall perform and observe its obligations thereunder, subject only to the terms and conditions of the Lease and Lender (or its designee) shall perform all obligations of Landlord under the Lease. Tenant further covenants and agrees to execute and deliver upon request of Lender an appropriate agreement of attornment to Lender and any subsequent titleholder of the Premises.

4.                                      Tenant acknowledges that Landlord will execute and deliver to Lender the Assignment of Leases as security for the Loan, and Tenant hereby expressly consents to such assignment. Tenant agrees to notify Lender of any default(s) by Landlord under the Lease and Lender shall have the same right to cure such default(s) as is provided to Landlord under the Lease.

5.                                      Lender shall have no obligation or incur any liability with respect to the construction or completion of the improvements in which the Premises are located or for completion of the Premises or any improvements for Tenant’s use and occupancy. Lender shall have no obligations nor incur any liability with respect to any warranties of any nature whatsoever, including, any warranties respecting use, compliance with zoning, hazardous wastes or environmental laws, Landlord’s title, Landlord’s authority, habitability, fitness for purpose or possession. In the event that Lender (or its designee) acquires title to the Premises, Lender shall have no obligation, nor incur any liability, beyond Lender’s then equity interest, if any, in the Property, and Tenant shall look exclusively to such equity interest of Lender, if any, in the Property for the payment and discharge of any obligations or liability imposed upon Lender hereunder, under the Lease or under any new lease of the Premises.

6.                                      The Lease is in full force and effect and there are no amendments, supplements or modifications of any kind (except as referenced above) and together herewith constitutes the entire agreement between Tenant and Landlord with respect to the Premises. There are no other

promises, agreements, understandings, or commitments of any kind between Landlord and Tenant with respect to the Premises or any other space at the Property.

7.                                      If any portion or portions of this Agreement shall be held invalid or inoperative, then all of the remaining portions shall remain in full force and effect, and, so far as is reasonable and possible, effect shall be given to the intent manifested by the portion or portions held to be invalid or inoperative.

8.                                      This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New Jersey.

9.                                      Lender shall not, either by virtue of the Mortgage, the Assignment of Leases or this Agreement, be or become a mortgagee in possession or be or become subject to any liability or obligation under the Lease or otherwise until Lender acquires title to the Premises by foreclosure, conveyance in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, and then such liability or obligation of Lender under the Lease shall extend only to those liabilities or obligations accruing subsequent to the date that Lender has acquired the interest of Landlord in the Premises as modified by the terms of this Agreement.

10.                               Any and all notices, elections, approvals, consents, demands, requests and responses thereto (“Communications”) permitted or required to be given under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been properly given (i) if mailed by first class United States mail, postage prepaid, registered or certified with return receipt requested; (ii) by delivering same in person to the intended addressee; or (iii) by delivery to a reputable independent third party commercial delivery service for same day or next day delivery and providing for evidence of receipt at the office of the intended addressee.
