2. TERM. (a) The term of this Lease (the “Term”) is ten (10) years and three (3) months. The Term shall begin on the date that Landlord Substantially Completes the Initial Tenant Improvements Work (the “Commencement Date”) and shall end on the last day of the month in which Tenth (10^th) year anniversary of the Rent Commencement Date occurs, or such earlier date upon which the Term may expire or be terminated pursuant to any of the conditions of this Lease or pursuant to law (the “Expiration Date”). Landlord and Tenant desire that the Landlord Substantially Complete the Initial Tenant Improvements Work on or about the Estimated Commencement Date. If for any reason (other than Tenant Delay, as hereafter defined), Landlord’s Work shall not be Substantially Completed on the Estimated Commencement Date, this Lease shall nevertheless continue in full force and effect; the Commencement Date shall be postponed until Substantial Completion has occurred; and the Expiration Date shall be adjusted to provide for the full term of this Lease. If Landlord’s Work is delayed because of any Tenant Delay, then the Commencement Date shall be the day the Landlord would have otherwise Substantially Completed Landlord’s Work but for the occurrence of such Tenant Delay.

(b) When the Commencement Date occurs, Landlord and Tenant shall enter into an agreement memorializing the Commencement and Expiration Dates of this Lease in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “G” (the “Commencement Date Agreement”); provided, however, that the failure to enter into such an agreement shall not affect the Commencement Date or Expiration Date. Tenant shall acknowledge receipt of the Commencement Date Agreement by signing a copy of same and returning it to Landlord within five (5) business days of the receipt thereof. Tenant’s failure to sign the Commencement Date Agreement and return same to Landlord as provided in this Section shall be deemed to be Tenant’s acceptance of the Commencement Date and Expiration Date as stated in the Commencement Date Agreement.

(d) Tenant agrees that Landlord shall have no obligation to do any work or perform any services with respect to the Premises, other than the Initial Tenant Improvements Work. Tenant shall accept possession of the Premises on the Commencement Date in its then “as-is” condition, subject to Landlord’s completion of the Initial Tenant Improvements Work.

(e) Landlord hereby grants to Tenant one (1) option to extend the Term for all (but not part) of the Premises in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2(e), Tenant must exercise the option for all of the Premises for a period of five (5) years, and such option to be exercised by Tenant giving written notice of its exercise to Landlord in the manner provided in this Lease not less than twelve (12) months prior to the expiration of the Term. The extension period shall commence on the day immediately following the last day of the Term. No extension option may be exercised by Tenant if an Event of Default exists at the time of exercise of the option.

- 5 -

(i) If Tenant exercises its option to extend the Term, Landlord shall, within thirty (30) days after receipt of Tenant’s exercise notice, notify Tenant in writing of Landlord’s reasonable determination of the Base Rent (including increases) and Common Expense Costs for the Premises for the five (5) year option period, which Base Rent amount shall be the Prevailing Market Rate (as hereafter defined) for such space. Tenant shall have thirty (30) days from its receipt of Landlord’s notice setting forth Landlord’s determination of Base Rent and Common Expense Costs to notify Landlord in writing that Tenant (i) agrees with Landlord’s determination of the Base Rent and Common Area Costs, or (ii) does not agree with Landlord’s determination of the Base Rent and that Tenant elects to determine the Prevailing Market Rate in accordance with the procedure set forth below. If Tenant does not so notify Landlord in writing within thirty (30) days of its receipt of Landlord’s notice, Base Rent and Common Expense Costs for the Premises for the applicable extended term shall be the Base Rent and Common Expense Costs set forth in Landlord’s notice to Tenant. The phrase “Prevailing Market Rate” shall mean the then prevailing market rate for the twelve (12) month period prior to Tenants’ renewal notice for base rent for a five (5) year term calculated on a per rentable square foot basis for leases covering buildings comparable to the condition of the Premises including the Initial Tenant Improvements and any subsequent Alteration made by Tenant located in central and northern New Jersey (hereinafter referred to as the “Market Area”), and taking into account all other relevant factors, including but not limited to rent concessions. The Prevailing Market Rate shall be determined by an appraisal procedure as follows:

In the event that Tenant notifies Landlord that Tenant disagrees with Landlord’s determination of the market rate and that Tenant elects to determine the Prevailing Market Rate, then Tenant shall specify, in such notice to Landlord, Tenant’s selection of a real estate appraiser, who shall act on Tenant’s behalf in determining the Prevailing Market Rate. Within twenty (20) days after Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s selection of a real estate appraiser, Landlord, by written notice to Tenant, shall designate a real estate appraiser, who shall act on Landlord’s behalf in the determination of the Prevailing Market Rate. Within twenty (20) days of the selection of Landlord’s appraiser, the two (2) appraisers shall render a joint written determination of the Prevailing Market Rate. If the two (2) appraisers are unable to agree upon a joint written determination within said twenty (20) day period, the two appraisers shall select a third appraiser within such twenty (20) day period. Within twenty (20) days after the appointment of the third appraiser, the third appraiser shall render a written determination of the Prevailing Market Rate by selecting, without change, the determination of one (1) of the original appraisers as to the Prevailing Market Rate and such determination shall be final, conclusive and binding. All appraisers selected in accordance with this subparagraph shall have at least ten (10) years prior experience in the commercial leasing market of the Market Area and shall be members of the American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers or similar professional organizations. If either Landlord or Tenant fails or refuses to timely select an appraiser, the other appraiser shall alone determine the Prevailing Market Rate. Landlord and Tenant agree that they shall be bound by the determination of Prevailing Market Rate pursuant to this paragraph. Landlord shall bear the fee and expense of its appraiser, Tenant shall bear the fee and expenses of its appraiser, and Landlord and Tenant shall share equally the fee and expenses of the third appraiser, if any.

- 6 -

(ii) Except for the Base Rent, which shall be determined as set forth in subparagraph (e)(i) above and the Common Expense Costs as determined by Landlord in Landlord’s notice to Tenant setting forth Landlord’s determination of Base Rent and Common Expense Costs, the leasing of the Premises by Tenant for the applicable extended term shall be subject to all of the same terms and conditions set forth in this Lease, including Tenant’s obligation to pay Additional Rent; provided, however, that any rent abatements or other concessions applicable to the Premises during the initial Term shall not apply during any such extended term, nor shall Tenant have any additional extension options, beyond the option described in this Section 2(e). Landlord and Tenant shall promptly enter into an amendment to this Lease to evidence Tenant’s exercise of its renewal option, the Base Rent and Common Expense Costs for such renewal term, and the expiration date of such renewal term.

(iii) The option granted to Tenant in this Section 2(e) of the Lease is personal to the original Tenant or a Related Entity or Successor Entity, as the case may be, and may be exercised only by the original Tenant (or a Related Entity or Successor Entity, as the case may be), and may not be exercised or assigned, voluntarily or involuntarily, by or to any person or entity other than the original Tenant (or a Related Entity or Successor Entity, as the case may be). The option granted to Tenant in this Section 2(e) are not assignable separate and apart from this Lease nor may any option be separated from this Lease in any manner, either by reservation or otherwise. If at any time an option under this Section 2(e) is exercisable by Tenant, and the Lease has been assigned the option shall be deemed null and void.

(iv) The term “Real Property Taxes” shall also include any tax, fee, levy, assessment, or charge (a) in substitution of, partially or totally, any tax, fee, levy, assessment, or charge hereinabove included within the definition of “Real Property Tax,” or (b) the nature of which was hereinbefore included within the definition of “Real Property Tax,” or (c) which is added to a tax or charge hereinbefore included within the definition of Real Property Tax by reason of such change of ownership, or (d) which is imposed by reason of this transaction, any modifications, or changes hereto, or any transfers hereof, or (e) reasonable expenses incurred by Landlord in attempting to protest, reduce, or minimize Real Property Taxes. With respect to the payment of assessments, special or otherwise, payment of installments over the longest possible term shall be deemed to have been elected in any instance where a determinable option so to pay existed, or may exist, notwithstanding that any assessment may be paid in full during the Term.

(v) If at any time during the Term, the method of taxation for Real Property Taxes prevailing on the Effective Date, or the Real Property Tax Conversion Date, as the case may be, is altered so that any new tax, assessment, levy, imposition or charge shall be substituted therefor, or shall be imposed upon Landlord in addition thereto (including, without limitation, any tax, assessment or levy based in whole or in part upon the Lease, the Premises, or the Base Rent, Additional Rent, or other income therefrom), then all such taxes, assessments, levies, impositions or charges, or the part thereof, shall be deemed be included within the term “Real Property Taxes” for the purposes of this Lease, and Landlord shall pay and discharge the same prior to delinquency, subject to reimbursement by Tenant of Tenant’s proportionate share of such Real Property Taxes in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.

For purposes of the Section 5(c), Tenant’s proportionate share shall mean a fraction the numerator of which is the total rentable square footage of the Premises, as same may change from time to time during the Term and the denominator of which shall be the total rentable square footage of the Building. On or before the January 1, 2017 and thereafter within one hundred twenty (120) days following the first day of each successive calendar year within the Term that occurs prior to the Real Property Tax Conversion Date, Landlord shall reasonably determine or estimate amount by which the Real Property Taxes allocated to the Building utilizing the methodology described in Exhibit “H” for such calendar year exceed the Real Property Taxes allocated to the Building utilizing the methodology described in Exhibit “H” for the Base Tax Year (the "Projected Pre-Conversion Real Property Taxes") and shall submit such information to Tenant in a written statement, together with copies of the applicable tax ▇▇▇▇(s) and documentation evidencing the calculation prepared by Landlord ("Landlord’s Tax Statement").

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 calendar year which shall have elapsed prior to such first Monthly Tax Payment, times the Monthly Tax Payment. Each Landlord’s Tax Statement shall reconcile the payments made by Tenant pursuant to the preceding Landlord’s Tax Statement with Tenant’s proportionate share of the actual Real Property Taxes imposed for the period covered thereby. Any balance due to Landlord shall be paid by Tenant within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s Tax Statement; and Landlord shall credit any surplus due to Tenant against the next accruing Monthly Tax Payment(s) of Tenant, or if the Term shall have expired, the amount of such overpayment shall be refunded to Tenant within thirty (30) days following delivery of Landlord’s Tax Statement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this subsection, if the Term shall have expired as a result of a default by Tenant, or Tenant shall be in default of its obligations under this Lease on the Expiration Date, then Landlord shall have the right to retain the amount of such surplus and apply it against any Base Rent or Additional Rent that Tenant owes Landlord. Tenant’s proportionate share of Real Property Taxes for the calendar year within which the Expiration Date occurs shall be prorated based upon the number of days in such year falling within the Term.

- 11 -

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 5(c) above, from and after the Real Property Tax Conversion Date, the Tenant’s proportionate share of Real Property Taxes shall mean the amount by which the sum of (i) (A) the product of the then assessed valuation for Building L (as determined by the valuation of Building L set forth on the Property Record Card maintained in the office Tax Assessor for Bridgewater Township, or any successor thereto) and a fraction, the numerator of which is the rentable square footage of the Premises, and the denominator of which is the rentable square footage of Building L, multiplied by (B) the then applicable tax rate for Bridgewater Township, and (ii) the product of the then assessed valuation of the land located within Condominium Unit 2 and the then applicable tax rate for Bridgewater Township, which product shall then be multiplied by the fraction, the numerator of which shall be the then current rentable square footage of the Premises, and the denominator of which shall be the then current rentable square footage of all tenantable buildings located within Condominium Unit 2, exceeds the Real Property Taxes allocated to the Building utilizing the methodology described in Exhibit “H” for the Base Tax Year. Promptly following the Real Property Tax Conversion Date and thereafter within one hundred twenty (120) days following the first day of each successive calendar year within the Term that occurs after the Real Property Tax Conversion Date, Landlord shall reasonably determine or estimate the Real Property Taxes for such calendar year (the "Projected Post-Conversion Real Property Taxes") and shall submit such information to Tenant in Landlord’s Tax Statement. Beginning on the Commencement Date following giving of a Landlord’s Tax Statement and continuing thereafter until Landlord renders the next Landlord’s Tax Statement, Tenant shall pay to Landlord on account of its obligation under this Section of this Lease, a Monthly Tax Payment equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of Tenant’s proportionate share of the Projected Post-Conversion Real Estate Taxes for such calendar 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 calendar year which shall have elapsed prior to such first Monthly Tax Payment, times the Monthly Tax Payment. Each Landlord’s Tax Statement shall reconcile the payments made by Tenant pursuant to the preceding Landlord’s Tax Statement with Tenant’s proportionate share of the actual Real Property Taxes imposed for the period covered thereby. Any balance due to Landlord shall be paid by Tenant within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s Tax Statement; and Landlord shall credit any surplus due to Tenant against the next accruing Monthly Tax Payment(s) of Tenant, or if the Term shall have expired, the amount of such overpayment shall be refunded to Tenant within thirty (30) days following delivery of Landlord’s Tax Statement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this subsection, if the Term shall have expired as a result of a default by Tenant, or Tenant shall be in default of its obligations under this Lease on the Expiration Date, then Landlord shall have the right to retain the amount of such surplus and apply it against any Base Rent or Additional Rent that Tenant owes Landlord. Tenant’s proportionate share of Real Property Taxes for the calendar year within which the Expiration Date occurs shall be prorated based upon the number of days in such year falling within the Term.

(e) Landlord shall have the exclusive right to contest any valuation of Condominium Unit 2, or any part thereof (including the Premises), or the amount of any Real Property Taxes, by legal proceedings, or in such other manner as it deems suitable. If Landlord obtains a refund or abatement of Real Property Taxes for (i) the Building, or (ii) for the land portion of Condominium ▇▇▇▇ ▇, as the case may be, then Landlord shall first be entitled to receive a reimbursement from any refund or abatement for all expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by it in connection with obtaining such refund or abatement. After deduction of the expenses described in the immediately preceding sentence, the Landlord shall credit Tenant’s proportionate share of the net refund or abatement of Real Property Taxes for (i) the Building, or (ii) for the land portion of Condominium ▇▇▇▇ ▇, as the case may be, for any year in which Tenant contributed to Real Property Taxes pursuant to the terms hereof, against the next accruing Monthly Tax Payment(s) of Tenant, or if the Term shall have expired, Tenant’s proportionate share of the net refund or abatement shall be refunded to Tenant within thirty (30) days after receipt thereof by Landlord. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this subsection, if the Term shall have expired as a result of a default by Tenant, or Tenant shall be in default of its obligations under this Lease on the Expiration Date, then Landlord shall have the right to retain Tenant’s proportionate share of the net refund or abatement and apply it against any Base Rent or Additional Rent that Tenant owes Landlord.

Landlord and Tenant shall cooperate and coordinate with each other regarding the performance of their respective restoration obligations. In the event that Tenant is prevented from using, and does not use, all or any portion of the Premises as a result of any such casualty, then, from the date of such casualty until the Abatement Expiration Date (as defined below), (a) Base Rent shall ▇▇▇▇▇ in proportion to the portion of the Premises rendered unusable, utilizing the Base Rent rate applicable to any such portion of the Premises, (b) the Additional Rent consisting of Common Expense Costs shall ▇▇▇▇▇ in proportion to the rentable square footage of the portion of the Premises rendered unusable and (c) Additional Rent consisting of Tenant’s proportionate share of Real Property Taxes shall ▇▇▇▇▇ in proportion to the portion of the Premises rendered unusable. The “Abatement Expiration Date” shall mean the earlier of (i) the date Tenant commences to use the portion of the Premises rendered unusable or (ii) the date that Landlord and Tenant agree is the reasonable date that Tenant is expected to complete the balance of the restoration of the Premises (beyond the Delivery Condition to the condition existing immediately prior to the casualty) taking into consideration all relevant factors (including, but not limited to, the time and costs to perform the Initial Tenant Improvements).

- 20 -

(c) Landlord shall not be required to repair any damage to, or to make any repairs or replacements of, the Initial Tenant Improvements and the any other Alterations performed in the Premises by, or for the benefit of Tenant during the Term of this Lease, or to the Retained FFE or any fixtures, furniture or equipment installed in the Premises that Landlord is not otherwise required to repair or restore in order to restore the Premises to the Delivery Condition. Tenant shall be responsible to repair any damage to, or to make any repairs or replacements of, the Initial Tenant Improvements and the any other Alterations performed in the Premises by, or for the benefit of Tenant during the Term of this Lease, the Retained FFE and any fixtures, furniture or equipment installed in the Premises that Landlord is not otherwise required to repair or restore in order to restore the Premises to the Delivery Condition.

(d) Tenant waives the provisions of any statutes which relate to the termination of leases when leased property is damaged or destroyed and agrees that such event shall be governed by the terms of this Lease, and the abatement of Rent set forth above is Tenant’s exclusive remedy against Landlord in the event of any casualty.

13. SUBORDINATION. This Lease is and shall be subject and subordinate to any and all mortgages or deeds of trust now existing upon or that may be hereafter placed upon the Premises and the land and Building and to all advances made or to be made thereon and all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements or extensions thereof and the lien of any such mortgages, deeds of trust and land leases shall be superior to all rights hereby or hereunder vested in Tenant, to the full extent of all sums secured thereby. This provision shall be self-operative and no further instrument of subordination shall be necessary to effectuate such subordination, and the recording of any such mortgage or deed of trust shall have preference and precedence and be superior and prior in lien to this Lease, irrespective of the date of recording. To confirm such subordination, Tenant shall upon request of Landlord or the holder of any such mortgage or deed of trust execute and deliver to Landlord and any such holder within ten (10) days after any such request, any reasonable instrument that Landlord or such holder may reasonably request, including, but not limited to a subordination and attornment agreement wherein Tenant specifically agrees that its interest in the Premises is subordinate and inferior to such mortgage or deed of trust and that Tenant will attorn to the holder of such mortgage or deed of trust or any purchaser of the Building at a foreclosure sale in the event the mortgage or deed of trust is foreclosed. On the Effective Date, the Bank of America is the holder of a mortgage encumbering the Premises, Land and Building (the “BOA Mortgage”). Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts post Lease execution to have Bank of America enter into a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement (an “SNDA”) with Tenant on the Bank of America’s customary form. With respect to any and all mortgages, or deeds of trust that may be placed upon the Premises, Land and Building which shall be subordinate to the BOA Mortgage, including any amendment, extension or other modification thereof (a “Subsequent Interest”), Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to have the holder(s) of all Subsequent Interests enter into a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement (an “SNDA”) with Tenant in a such holders(s) customary form. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Tenant shall have the right, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, to negotiate and request changes to the BOA’s customary SNDA form, or the holder of any Subsequent Interest’s customary SNDA form. For purposes of this Section 13, “commercially reasonable efforts” shall mean that Landlord shall request that the holder(s) of any Subsequent Interest enter into and SNDA with Tenant in a such holders(s) customary form, without any obligation on Landlord to obtain such SNDA, or commence any actions or legal proceeding to compel the holder(s) of any Subsequent Interest to enter into and SNDA with Tenant.

- 21 -

14. SURRENDER OF PREMISES. On or before the Expiration Date, whether by forfeiture or expiration of time, Tenant shall surrender the Premises to Landlord in as good condition as when received by Tenant from Landlord on the Commencement Date with reasonable wear and tear, casualty and condemnation, and the satisfaction of Landlord’s maintenance and repair obligations excepted. On or before the Expiration Date, Tenant shall remove (i) all Tenant’s Property in accordance with the provisions of Section 16, and (ii) any Alteration to the Premises made by Tenant in accordance with the provisions of Section 22 that Landlord requires removal thereof by Tenant prior to the Expiration Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Landlord agrees that all Tenant shall have no obligation to remove any of the office or laboratory improvements located in the Premises prior to the performance of the Initial Tenant Improvements Work.

15.

DEFAULT BY TENANT.

(a) The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute an Event of Default:

(i) Any installment of Base Rent or Additional Rent required to be paid by Tenant hereunder, or any part thereof shall at any time be in arrears and unpaid for five (5) days after written notice thereof; provided, however, such notice and such grace period shall be required to be provided by Landlord and shall be accorded Tenant, if necessary, only two (2) times during any twelve (12) month period, or

(ii) There is any default or breach on the part of Tenant in the observance or performance of any of the other covenants, agreements, or conditions of this Lease on the part of Tenant to be kept and performed and said default or breach shall continue for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant (unless such default cannot reasonably be cured within thirty (30) days and in such case, Tenant shall have commenced to cure said default within said thirty (30) days and thereafter continue diligently to pursue to completion the curing of same), or

(iii) The leasehold estate hereby created shall be taken on execution or by other process of law, or

(iv) Tenant shall fail to deliver within ten (10) days after a request therefor any document described in Sections 13 or 21 hereof.

(b) If and whenever any Event of Default as defined above or elsewhere in this Lease shall occur, Landlord shall have the right at its election then or at any time thereafter to pursue any one or more of the following remedies in addition to all other rights or remedies provided herein or at law or in equity:

- 22 -

(i) Re-enter the Premises, and take possession thereof in accordance with the process of law, and eject all parties in possession therefrom, using such force for that purpose as may be necessary, without being liable to any prosecution for said re-entry or the use of such force, and, without terminating this Lease, at any time and from time to time relet the Premises or any part thereof for the account of Tenant or otherwise, receive and collect the rents therefor, applying the same first to payment of such reasonable expenses as Landlord may have paid, assumed or incurred in recovering possession of the Premises, including, without limitation, costs, expenses and reasonable attorney's fees, brokerage and reasonable remodeling of the Premises, paid, assumed or incurred by Landlord in connection with reletting the Premises, and then to the fulfillment of the covenants of Tenant. Any such reletting as provided for herein may be for the remainder of the Term as originally granted or for a longer or shorter period. Landlord may execute any lease made pursuant to the terms hereof in Landlord's own name and Tenant shall have no right or authority whatever to collect any rent whatever from such Subtenant. In any case and whether or not the Premises or any part thereof be relet, Tenant shall pay to Landlord all sums required to be paid by Tenant up to the time of re-entry by Landlord, and thereafter Tenant shall, if required by Landlord, pay to Landlord until the end of the Term, the equivalent amount of all rent and other charges required to be paid by Tenant under the terms of this Lease, less the rent actually received by Landlord from any such reletting during the Term, if any, after payment of the expenses of Landlord as aforesaid, and the same shall be due and payable on the several rent days herein specified. No such re-entry by Landlord shall constitute an election to terminate this Lease unless and until Landlord thereafter gives Tenant written notice of Landlord's election to terminate this Lease. Actions to collect any amounts due by Tenant as provided in this Section 15 may be brought from time to time on one or more occasions without the necessity of Landlord's waiting until expiration of the Term;

(ii) Terminate this Lease, and with the process of law, expel and remove Tenant, or any other person or persons in occupancy from the Premises, together with their goods and chattels, using such force as may be necessary in the judgment of Landlord or its agents in so doing, and repossess and enjoy said Premises together with all improvements, additions, alterations, equipment and fixtures thereon, and in addition to any other remedy it may have, Landlord may recover from Tenant all reasonable damages it may incur by reason of such breach by Tenant.

(c) Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to re-let the Premises to mitigate its damages upon the occurrence of an event of default under this Lease. For the purposes hereof, “commercially reasonable efforts” shall mean the following actions, which actions shall create an irrebuttable presumption that Landlord has fulfilled such obligation: (i) Landlord shall include the availability of the Premises in Landlord’s leasing flyers sent to brokers (if any), commencing following Landlord’s recovery of possession of the Premises, and ending upon re-leasing of the Premises; and/or (ii) Landlord shall engage an independent commercial real estate broker to re-let the Premises, the cost and expense of which shall be an element of Landlord’s damages in addition to any other damages recoverable pursuant to this Lease. Nothing contained herein shall require Landlord to re-let the Premises prior to or with any preference over the leasing of any other similar premises of Landlord in the Project.

- 23 -

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contract, neither party shall be responsible or liable to the other for any special, indirect, or consequential damages (other than Tenant’s liability expressly described in Section 17 below if Tenant holds over). In addition, Landlord waives its right to distraint on Tenant’s Property, whether under common law or otherwise.

16. TENANT'S PROPERTY. Upon termination of this Lease by expiration of time or otherwise, Tenant shall remove all of its furniture, furnishings, trade fixtures, equipment (including, without limitation the Retained FFE if Landlord has transferred same to Tenant in accordance with the terms of this Lease) and personal property (collectively, the “Tenant’s Property”) from the Premises. Tenant shall be obligated to repair any damage to the Premises, Building and Common Areas caused by such removal.

17. HOLDING OVER In the event Tenant remains in possession of the Premises after termination of this Lease, such holding over shall not be deemed to extend the Term and Tenant shall be deemed to be occupying the Premises as a holdover Tenant, at a Rent equal to (i) one and one half (1.5) times the Base Rent for the last month prior to the expiration of the Term for the first calendar month or portion thereof that Tenant holds over, and (ii) two (2) times the Base Rent for the last month prior to the expiration of the Term for each calendar month or portion thereof after the first calendar month that Tenant holds over, subject to all the other conditions, provisions and obligations of this Lease. The parties recognize and agree that the damage to Landlord resulting from any failure by Tenant to timely surrender possession of the Premises will be extremely substantial, will exceed the amount of the monthly Base Rent payable hereunder and will be impossible to accurately measure. If the Premises are not surrendered upon the expiration of this Lease, 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 shall be construed as a consent by Landlord to the occupancy or possession by Tenant of the Premises beyond the Expiration Date, and Landlord, upon said Expiration Date, shall be entitled to the benefit of all legal remedies that now may be in force or may be hereafter enacted relating to the immediate repossession of the Premises. The provisions of this Section 17 shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease.

18.

SECURITY DEPOSIT

(a) Within fifteen (15) days after the execution and delivery of this Lease by both parties, Tenant shall deposit with Landlord a one (1) year, irrevocable unconditional letter of credit issued by an Approved Bank for the benefit of Landlord in the amount of Five Hundred Eighty-Six Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($586,000.00) (collectively, the “Security Deposit”), containing (i) 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, (ii) a provision obligating the issuing bank to issue a new letter of credit, without charge to Landlord, to any assignee of Landlord’s interest under the Lease, provided the original is returned to the issuing bank and any other reasonable requirements of the issuing bank are satisfied by Tenant , (iii) a provision stating that the letter of credit shall not in any way be modified or amended without Landlord’s prior written consent, and (iv) such other commercially reasonable provisions as Landlord may require from time to time. The face amount of the original letter of credit and any replacement letter of credit delivered to Landlord shall be equal to the amount of the Security Deposit then required under this Section 18. The Security Deposit shall be held by Landlord as security for the full and faithful performance by Tenant of the terms and conditions by it to be observed and performed hereunder. If any Base Rent, Additional Rent or other sum payable by Tenant to Landlord becomes overdue and remains unpaid, or should Landlord make any payments on behalf of Tenant in accordance with the terms of this Lease, or should Tenant fail to perform any of the terms and conditions of this Lease after notice and the expiration of any applicable cure period, then Landlord, at its option, and without prejudice to any other remedy which Landlord may have on account thereof, shall appropriate and apply the Security Deposit toward the payment of Base Rent, Additional Rent or other such sum payable hereunder, or loss or damage sustained by Landlord due to the breach or failure to perform on the part of Tenant. For purposes of this Lease, “Approved Bank” shall mean any commercial bank having an office within the New York City/New Jersey metropolitan area which is rated A or better by Standard & Poor’s or any successor thereto (or having a comparable rating issued by another reputable and comparable rating agency if Standard & Poor’s or any successor thereto no longer exists or no longer publishes such ratings). The Security Deposit shall be held by Landlord without liability for interest and it is expressly understood that the Security Deposit shall not be considered an advance payment of rental or a measure of Landlord's damages in case of default by Tenant. Landlord may commingle the Security Deposit with Landlord's other funds.

(b) Conditioned upon the full compliance by Tenant of all of the terms of this Lease (including, without limitation, leaving the Premises in the condition required on the Expiration Date) and the prompt payment of all sums due hereunder, as and when they fall due, the Security Deposit (or the unapplied portion thereof) shall be returned in full to Tenant within forty five (45) days after the Expiration Date. Landlord's obligations under this Section 18(b) shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Term.

(c) In the event of bankruptcy or other debtor-creditor proceeding against Tenant, the Security Deposit shall be deemed to be applied first to the payment of rent and other charges then due and owing Landlord for all periods prior to filing of such proceedings.

(d) In the event of any transfer or any assignment of Landlord’s interest under this Lease, Landlord shall have the right to transfer the Security Deposit to said transferee or assignee, and Landlord shall thereupon be automatically released from all liability for the return of the Security Deposit provided that the transferee or assignee has assumed in writing all of Landlord’s obligations under this Lease, including the return of the Security Deposit , which arise from and after the date of the transfer or assignment. In such event, Tenant agrees to look to the new lessor for the return of the Security Deposit. Landlord shall furnish Tenant with an executed copy of any such assumption agreement. It is hereby agreed that the provisions of this Section shall apply to every transfer or assignment made of the Security Deposit to a new lessor.

- 25 -

(e) Upon the occurrence of a default by Tenant under this Lease after notice and the expiration of any applicable cure period, Landlord shall have the right to draw down the letter of credit for any of the reasons set forth in this Section 18 for the application of Security Deposit. To exercise such right, (i) Landlord shall present the letter of credit to the issuing bank at the office set forth on the letter of credit and (ii) Landlord shall deliver to the issuing bank a statement from Landlord setting forth the amount of the draw and stating that Landlord is entitled to draw down the letter of credit pursuant to the provisions of Section 18 of this Lease. Landlord shall apply the proceeds thereof towards the payment of the Base Rent, Additional Rent or such other sum payable hereunder, or any payments made by Landlord on behalf of Tenant, or any loss or damage sustained by Landlord due to the breach or failure to perform on the part of Tenant, and Landlord shall hold the balance, if any, pursuant to the provisions of this Section 18. Within ten (10) Business Days after demand, Tenant shall deposit with Landlord an amount (in the form of a replacement letter of credit) equal to the portion of the Security Deposit applied pursuant to the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence and if Tenant shall provide a replacement letter of credit for the full amount of the Security Deposit, Landlord shall return to Tenant the balance of any cash then being held by Landlord in accordance with Section 18 above within ten (10) Business Days after Landlord’s receipt of such replacement letter of credit.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Tenant hereby expressly acknowledges that the drawing down of said letter of credit shall not operate as a waiver of or preclude Landlord from exercising any of Landlord’s other rights and remedies under this Lease. In addition, Tenant hereby agrees that Landlord shall not be required to give Tenant any prior notice of the drawing down of the letter of credit.

(g) In the event of an assignment of this Lease by Landlord, Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, obtain either (i) 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 lessor as the beneficiary or (ii) the written consent of the issuing bank to the assignment of the then existing letter of credit from Landlord to the new lessor in the same form and substance, provided the bank’s transfer forms are properly completed and delivered. If Tenant obtains a new letter of credit, Landlord shall surrender the existing letter of credit to the issuing bank in conjunction with the delivery of the new letter by the issuing bank and the parties agree to coordinate such delivery and surrender so that it is done on the effective date of the assignment of this Lease by Landlord.

- 26 -

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein: (i) the original amount of the Security Deposit ($586,000.00) shall be reduced by $100,000.00, so that the amount of the Security Deposit shall be $486,000.00 as of the first (1st) anniversary of the Rent Commencement Date, provided no Event of Default of a monetary nature which has not been cured in accordance with the Cure Period, as defined below, shall have occurred during the period beginning on the Effective Date and ending on the first (1st) anniversary of the Rent Commencement Date (the “Initial Security Period”); (ii) if the amount of the Security Deposit has been reduced in accordance with the terms of this Section 18(h) after the Initial Security Period, the amount of the Security Deposit shall be further reduced from the then reduced amount of the Security Deposit ($486,000.00) by $100,000.00, so that the amount of the Security Deposit shall be $386,000.00 as of the second (2nd) anniversary of the Rent Commencement Date, provided no Event of Default of a monetary nature shall have occurred which has not been cured, in accordance with the Cure Period as defined below, during the period beginning on the first (1^st) anniversary of the Rent Commencement Date and ending on the second (2nd) anniversary of the Rent Commencement Date (the “Second Security Period”); (iii) if the amount of the Security Deposit has been reduced in accordance with the terms of this Section 18(h) after the Second Security Period, the amount of the Security Deposit shall be further reduced from the then reduced amount of the Security Deposit ($386,000.00) by $100,000.00, so that the amount of the Security Deposit shall be $286,000.00 as of the third (3rd) anniversary of the Rent Commencement Date, provided no Event of Default of a monetary nature shall have occurred which has not been cured, in accordance with the Cure Period as defined below, during the period beginning on the second (2^nd ) anniversary of the Rent Commencement Date and ending on the third (3^rd ) anniversary of the Rent Commencement Date (the “Third Security Period”); and (iv) if the amount of the Security Deposit has been reduced in accordance with the terms of this Section 18(h) after the Third Security Period, the amount of the Security Deposit shall be further reduced from the then reduced amount of the Security Deposit ($286,000.00) by $86,000.00, so that the amount of the Security Deposit shall be $200,000.00 as of the fourth (4^th) anniversary of the Rent Commencement Date provided no Event of Default of a monetary nature shall have occurred which has not been cured, in accordance with the Cure Period as defined below, during the period beginning on the third (3^rd ) anniversary of the Rent Commencement Date and ending on the fourth (4^th) anniversary of the Rent Commencement Date (the “Fourth Security Period”). If an Event of Default of a monetary nature shall occur during the Initial Security Period, or during the Second Security Period, Third Security Period, or Fourth Security Period, as the case may be, then the amount of the Security Deposit shall only be reduced by the scheduled amount after such Event of Default of a monetary nature is cured. In order for an Event of Default of a monetary nature to have occurred under the Lease negating Tenant’s right to a reduction in the Security Deposit during the Initial Security Period, the Second Security Period, Third Security Period, or Fourth Security Period, as the case may be, Landlord must have provided to Tenant a notice describing the monetary Event of Default and Tenant shall not have cured such Event of Default of a monetary nature within five (5) Business Days from receipt of the notice, (the “Cure Period”).

19. FORCE MAJEURE Except to the extent expressly set forth herein, in no event shall either party by deemed to be in default of its non-monetary obligations hereunder to the extent such party is prevented from or delayed in performing such non-monetary obligation by reason of acts of God, fire, earthquake, flood, explosion, action of the elements, war, hostilities, invasion, acts of terrorism, insurrection, riot, mob violence, sabotage, reasonably unforeseen governmental regulation, unusual scarcity of or inability to obtain labor or materials, labor difficulties, or other causes reasonably beyond such party’s control (“Force Majeure”).

21. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES. Tenant shall, within ten (10) days after written request from Landlord, execute, acknowledge, and deliver to Landlord or to Landlord's mortgagee, proposed mortgagee, land lessor or proposed purchaser of the Building or any part thereof, any estoppel certificates reasonably requested by Landlord, from time to time, which estoppel certificates shall show, among other things, whether the Lease is in full force and effect and whether any changes may have been made to the original Lease; whether the Term of the Lease has commenced and full rental is accruing; whether there are, to the actual knowledge of Tenant, any defaults by Landlord and, if so, the nature of such defaults, whether possession has been assumed and all improvements to be provided by Landlord have been completed; whether rent has been paid more than thirty (30) days in advance and that there are no liens, charges, or offsets against rental due or to become due.

22.

ALTERATIONS OR IMPROVEMENTS BY TENANT.

(a) Except for minor Alterations (as defined below), Tenant may, from time to time, at its expense, make alterations or improvements and install any Tenant’s Property, in and to the Premises (hereinafter collectively referred to as “Alterations”) provided that Tenant first obtains the written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned; and provided further that all of the following shall apply with respect to all Alterations: (1) the Alterations shall be of a non-structural nature and the structural integrity of the Building shall not be affected; (2) the Alterations shall only be to the interior of the Premises; (3) the proper functioning of the HVAC, sanitary and other Building Systems shall not be affected and the usage of such systems by Tenant shall not be increased; and (4) Tenant shall have appropriate insurance coverage, reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, regarding the performance and installation of the Alterations. Additionally, before proceeding with any Alterations, Tenant shall (i) at Tenant’s expense, obtain all necessary governmental permits and certificates for the commencement and prosecution of Alterations; (ii) submit to Landlord, for its written approval, working drawings, plans and specifications and all permits for the work to be done and Tenant shall not proceed with such Alterations until it has received Landlord’s approval (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned); and (iii) cause those contractors, materialmen and suppliers engaged to perform the Alterations to deliver to Landlord certificates of insurance (in a form and content reasonably acceptable to Landlord) evidencing policies of commercial general liability insurance (providing the same coverages as required in Section 8 above) and workers’ compensation insurance. The term “Minor Alterations” means (a) cosmetic and non-structural Alterations to the Premises, which (i) do not affect any Building systems, structure, or areas outside of the Premises and (ii) the cost of which, in the aggregate, during any twelve (12)-month period during the Lease Term do not exceed $25,000.00. Tenant may make Minor Alterations without Landlord’s consent, but upon not less than ten (10) Business Days prior written notice to Landlord.

- 28 -

(b) With respect to those Alterations requiring Landlord’s prior consent, Tenant shall cause the Alterations to be performed in compliance with all applicable permits, Laws, requirements of public authorities, plans and specifications and with Landlord’s Rules and Regulations and any other reasonable requirements that Landlord may impose on the Alterations. With respect to those Alterations requiring Landlord’s prior consent, Tenant shall cause the Alterations to be diligently performed in a good and workmanlike manner, using new materials and equipment at least equal in quality and class to the standards for the Building established by Landlord, and shall cause all Alterations to be paid for in full free and clear of all construction and any and all other liens and encumbrances. Tenant shall provide Landlord with “as built” plans, copies of all construction contracts, governmental permits and certificates and proof of payment for all labor and materials, including, without limitation, copies of paid invoices and final lien waivers. Landlord and Landlord’s representatives shall have the right, without the obligation, from time to time, to enter upon the Premises during the course of the performance of the Alterations, and upon completion of the Alterations, to observe and inspect the Alterations; however, by doing so, Landlord shall not be deemed to have passed upon the performance of the Alterations nor assumed any liability or responsibility with respect thereto. Landlord shall have the right, as hereinafter set forth, to require Tenant to remove any Specialty Installations (as hereinafter defined) made by Tenant before the expiration or termination of the Lease, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. If Landlord provides its written consent, at the time of giving such consent, to the extent the Alteration includes any “Specialty Installation” (as defined herein), Landlord shall advise Tenant whether Landlord will require such Specialty Installation or Specialty Installations to be removed at the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. As used in this Lease the term “Specialty Installation” means any Alteration, fixture or equipment made or installed by Tenant or Tenant’s Agents that is intended specifically for the use of Tenant or Tenant’s operations in the Premises and is not readily marketable or reusable by another office, laboratory, R&D, or general use tenant in the Premises and specifically shall include items which require special governmental permits, approvals, or consents for the installation or removal of same..

(c) Tenant shall have the right to place and install Tenant’s Property in and upon the Premises, and fasten the same to the Premises. All Tenant’s Property whether acquired by Tenant at the commencement of the Term or placed or installed on the Premises by Tenant thereafter, shall remain Tenant's Property. Tenant shall have the right to remove the same at any time during the Term of this Lease (and Tenant shall remove all such Tenant’s Property on or before the Expiration Date), provided that all damage to the Premises, Building and Common Areas caused by such removal shall be repaired by Tenant at Tenant's sole cost and expense.

23. ACCESS TO PREMISES. Landlord and Landlord’s agents shall have the right to enter the Premises during Business Hours for the purpose of inspecting the same, for the purpose of maintenance, repair, and for making additions to and running pipes, conduits and ducts through the Premises and for showing the Premises to prospective tenants, purchasers and lenders, and Tenant hereby waives any claim against Landlord for damage or inconvenience caused by any of the above. Except in the case of an emergency (in which case no prior notice and no Tenant Representative, as hereinafter defined, shall be required), Landlord shall give Tenant not less than 24 hour advance notice of Landlord’s intent to enter the Premises and Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize the interference with Tenant’s operations during the exercise of Landlord’s rights under this Section 23, but Landlord shall not be required to use after hours labor. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, Landlord shall not be required to enter only during Business Hours in the event Landlord, in its good faith judgment, believes it would be injured by failure to take rapid action or if the necessity for repairs constitutes an emergency. Except as otherwise expressly provided for in this Section 23, Tenant does not want Landlord to have the right to enter the Premises unattended, therefore the Tenant shall provide a representative of Tenant (a “Tenant Representative”) to accompany Landlord’s agents at all times set forth in the Landlord’s advance notice of Landlord’s intent to enter the Premises and at all times during the exercise of Landlord’s rights under this Section 23.

24.

PARKING.

(a) Subject to the Rules and Regulations attached hereto as Exhibit “J” as same may be modified by Landlord from time to time during the Term, Tenant shall have the right to use twenty-eight (28) non-exclusive parking spaces in the parking garage or the surface parking lots (as designated by Landlord) located in the Project for non-commercial vehicles in common with other tenants of the property.

(b) Landlord reserves the right at any time, on at least 15 days prior notice (except in the case of an emergency, in which case no notice shall be necessary), to (i) permanently relocate all or any portion of the parking garage spaces, or the surface parking lot spaces, as the case may be, in Landlord’s sole discretion, and/or (ii) temporarily relocate all or any portion of the parking garage spaces or the surface parking lot spaces in case of emergencies or the repair or maintenance of same. If Tenant commits or allows any of the activities prohibited by this Lease or the Rules and Regulations in connection with its use of the non-exclusive parking spaces, then Landlord shall have the right, following such notice to Tenant, whether written or oral, as is reasonable under the circumstances, in addition to such other rights and remedies that Landlord may have, to remove or tow away the vehicle(s) involved and charge the cost to Tenant, which cost shall be immediately payable by Tenant upon demand by Landlord. Tenant’s parking rights are appurtenant to the Lease and Tenant may only transfer, assign, or otherwise convey its parking rights together with a transfer, assignment, or conveyance of this Lease as otherwise provided in this Lease.

25. PARTIAL INVALIDITY. If any term, covenant or condition of this Lease or the application thereof to any person or circumstance shall to any extent be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Lease or the application of such term, covenant or condition of this Lease shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

26. LEASE BINDING UPON ASSIGNEES. This Lease and all covenants, provisions and conditions herein contained shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the heirs, executors, administrators, personal representatives, successors and assigns, respectively of the parties hereto; provided, however, that no sublease, assignment or transfer by, from, through or under Tenant in violation of the provisions hereof shall vest in the subtenant, assignee or transferee any right, title or interest whatever.

- 30 -

27. LIMITATION OF LANDLORD'S LIABILITY. Anything in the Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, no recourse or relief shall be had under any rule of law, statute or constitution or by any enforcement of any assessments or penalties, or otherwise or based on or in respect of this Lease (whether by breach of any obligation, monetary or non-monetary), against Landlord, it being expressly understood that all obligations of Landlord under or relating to this Lease are solely obligations payable out of Landlord’s interest in the Building and are compensable solely therefrom. It is expressly understood that all such liability is and is being expressly waived and released as a condition of and as a condition for the execution of this Lease, and Tenant expressly waives and releases all such liability as a condition of, and as a consideration for, the execution of this Lease by Landlord.

28. WAIVER. The failure of Landlord or Tenant to insist in any one or more cases upon the strict performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or conditions of this Lease or to exercise any option herein contained shall not be construed as a waiver or a relinquishment for the future performance, observance or exercise of such covenant, agreement, condition or option. No waiver of any default hereunder shall be implied from any omission by Landlord or Tenant to take any action on account of such default, and no condition or covenant shall be deemed waived by Landlord or Tenant unless such waiver is in writing signed by the waiving party. One or more waivers of any breach of any covenant, term or condition of this Lease by Landlord or Tenant shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same covenant, term or condition.

29. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING. (a) Except as otherwise expressly permitted in this Section 29, 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 the prior written consent of Landlord., which consent shall not be unreasonable withheld, delayed or conditioned. Any consent granted by Landlord in any instance shall not be construed to constitute a consent with respect to any other instance or request. If the Premises or any part thereof should be sublet, used, or occupied by anyone other than Tenant, or if this Lease should be assigned by Tenant, Landlord shall have the right to collect rent from the assignee, subtenant, user or occupant, but no such assignment, subletting, use, occupancy or collection shall be deemed a waiver of any of Landlord’s rights under the provisions of this Section, a waiver of any of Tenant’s covenants contained in this Section, the acceptance of the assignee, subtenant, user or occupant as tenant, or a release of Tenant from further performance by Tenant of Tenant’s obligations under the Lease.

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

- 31 -

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

(ii) 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 shall be at least thirty (30) days after Tenant’s Notice is given);

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

(iv) 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

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

(b) Within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s Notice, Landlord agrees that it shall notify Tenant whether Landlord (i) consents to the proposed sublet or assignment, (ii) does not consent to the proposed sublet or assignment, (iii) elects to exercise its recapture right, as described in Section (e) below, or (iv) requires further information consistent with the information to be furnished as part of Tenant's Notice. In the event Landlord does not elect to exercise its recapture right, then Landlord agrees not to unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent to the proposed sublet or assignment.

(i) no assignment or sublease shall be permitted if, at the effective date of such assignment or sublease, an Event of Default exists under this Lease;

(ii) no assignment or sublease shall 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, of whatever nature, payable by the prospective assignee or subtenant to Tenant pursuant to such assignment or sublease. For purposes of this Lease, “Net Rental Proceeds” shall mean: in the case of a sublease, the amount by which the aggregate of all rents, additional charges or other consideration payable under a sublease to Tenant by the subtenant (including sums paid for the sale or rental of Tenant’s fixtures, leasehold improvements, equipment, furniture or other personal property) exceeds the sum of (i) the Base Rent plus all amounts payable by Tenant pursuant to the provisions hereof during the term of the sublease in respect of the subleased space, (ii) brokerage commissions at prevailing rates due and owing to a real estate brokerage firm, and (iii) other customary and reasonable costs incurred by Tenant in connection with the subleasing; and in the case of an assignment, the amount by which all sums and other considerations paid to Tenant by the assignee of this Lease for or by reason of such assignment (including sums paid for the sale of Tenant’s fixtures, leasehold improvements, equipment, furniture or other personal property) exceeds the sum of (i) brokerage commissions at prevailing rates due and owing to a real estate brokerage firm, and (ii) other customary and reasonable costs incurred by Tenant in connection with the assignment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of determining Net Rental Proceeds, Landlord and Tenant agree that amounts attributable to business goodwill or the sale of the business, stock, or assets of Tenant shall not be included in this calculation only to the extent that allocation of the costs for such items do not materially exceed the actual value attributable to such items.

- 32 -

(iii) no assignment or sublease shall be permitted to any existing tenant or occupant in the Building or Project, if Landlord has comparable space available for leasing in the Project;

(iv) no sublease or assignment shall be permitted if the proposed subtenant’s or assignee’s use of the Premises: (i) is a Prohibited Use shown on Exhibit “O” (as same may be further supplemented and amended by Landlord from time to time during the Term), (ii) is for any use other than the Permitted Use, (iii) would cause Landlord to be in violation of its obligations under another lease or agreement in connection with the Project to which Landlord is a party, including, without limitation any exclusive or restrictions granted to any tenant or occupant pursuant to a lease or other agreement entered into prior to Tenant’s request for Landlord’s consent, (iv) is not consistent with Landlord’s operation of the Project as a first class research and development project including general office use, or (v) violates the Condominium Documents;

(v) no sublease or assignment shall be permitted if, in Landlord’s reasonable business judgment, the proposed subtenant or assignee lacks sufficient business reputation or experience to operate a successful business of the type and quality permitted under this Lease;

(vi) no sublease or assignment shall be permitted if, in Landlord’s reasonable business judgment, the present net worth of the proposed subtenant or assignee is insufficient to satisfy the outstanding obligations under this Lease with respect to the assignment or sublease;

(vii) no sublease or assignment shall be permitted if the assignment or sublease would breach any covenant of Landlord respecting use or exclusivity in any lease, financing agreement or other agreement relating to the Project and Landlord evidences the same; and

(viii) no sublease or assignment shall be permitted to any prospective tenant of the Building or the Project who has been shown space in the Building for lease during the six (6) months prior to the Tenant’s request for consent if Landlord has comparable space available for leasing in the Project.

- 33 -

(d) Landlord shall have the right, to be exercised by giving 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 shall 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 as fully and completely as if that date had been herein definitively fixed as the Expiration Date, and Tenant shall surrender possession of the Recapture Space as of such date. Thereafter, the Base Rent and Additional Rent shall be equitably adjusted based upon the square footage of the Premises then remaining, after deducting the square footage attributable to the Recapture Space. In the event Landlord elects to exercise its recapture right and the Recapture Space is less than the entire Premises, then Landlord, at its sole expense, shall have the right to make any alterations to the Premises required, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, to make such Recapture Space a self-contained rental unit. Landlord agrees to perform all such work, if any, with as little inconvenience to Tenant’s business as is reasonably possible; provided, however, Landlord shall not be required to perform such work after normal business hours or on weekends; and provided further, Landlord shall not be deemed guilty of an eviction, partial eviction, constructive eviction or disturbance of Tenant’s use or possession of the Premises, and shall not be liable to Tenant for same. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Section 29(d), Landlord shall not have the right to recapture the Recapture Space if; (i) the Recapture Space being sublet consists of 1,434 rentable square feet or less, and the term of such sublease shall expire no later than twelve (12) months prior to the Expiration Date (not including any unexercised option(s) to extend the Term), or (ii) the proposed assignee or subtenant is a Related Entity or Successor Entity, as the case may be.

(e) In addition to the foregoing requirements, any sublease must contain the following provisions:

(i) the sublease shall be subject and subordinate to all of the terms and conditions of this Lease;

(ii) at Landlord’s option, in the event of cancellation or termination of this Lease for any reason or the surrender of this Lease, whether voluntarily, involuntarily, or by operation of law, prior to the expiration of such sublease, including extensions and renewals of such sublease, the subtenant shall make full and complete attornment to Landlord for the balance of the term of the sublease. The attornment shall be evidenced by an agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Landlord which the subtenant shall execute and deliver at any time within five (5) days after request by Landlord or its successors and assigns;

(iii) the term of the sublease shall not extend beyond a date which is one day prior to the Termination Date;

(iv) no subtenant shall be permitted to further sublet all or any portion of the subleased space or to assign its sublease without Landlord’s prior written consent; and

(v) the subtenant shall waive the provisions of any law now or subsequently in effect which may give the subtenant any right of election to terminate the sublease or to surrender possession of the space subleased in the event that any proceeding is brought by Landlord to terminate this Lease.

(f) Each of the following events shall be deemed to constitute an assignment of this Lease and each shall require the prior written consent of Landlord:

- 34 -

(i) any assignment or transfer of this Lease by operation of law; or

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

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

(iv) any assignment, transfer, disposition, sale or acquisition of a controlling interest in Tenant to or by 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; or

(v) 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 shall mean 50% or more of the aggregate issued and outstanding equitable interests (whether stock, partnership interests, membership interests or otherwise) of Tenant.

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

(h) No assignment of this Lease nor any sublease of all or any portion of the Premises shall release or discharge Tenant from any liability, whether past, present, or future, under this Lease and Tenant shall continue to remain primarily liable under this Lease.

(i) Tenant shall be responsible for obtaining all permits and approvals required by any governmental or quasi-governmental agency in connection with any assignment of this Lease or any subletting of the Premises, and Tenant shall deliver copies of these documents to Landlord prior to the commencement of any work, if work is to be done. Tenant is also responsible for and is required to reimburse Landlord within thirty (30) days following Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s invoice for all reasonable out-of-pocket fees, costs and expenses, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements, which Landlord reasonably incurs in reviewing any proposed assignment of this Lease, any proposed sublease of the Premises, and any permits, approvals, and applications for construction within the Premises.

(j) (i) Tenant agrees that under no circumstances shall Landlord be liable in damages or subject to liability by reason of Landlord’s failure or refusal to grant its consent to any proposed assignment of this Lease or subletting of the Premises, and Tenant’s sole remedy shall be limited to expedited arbitration in accordance with the terms of Section 29 (j)(ii) below. If Landlord withholds its consent of any proposed assignment or sublease, Tenant shall defend, indemnify, and hold Landlord harmless from and reimburse Landlord for all liability, damages, costs, fees, expenses, penalties, and charges (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements) arising out of any claims that may be made against Landlord by any brokers or other persons claiming a commission or similar compensation in connection with the proposed assignment or sublease.

- 35 -

(ii) Tenant agrees that under no circumstances shall Landlord be liable in damages or subject to liability by reason of Landlord’s failure or refusal to grant its consent to any proposed assignment of this Lease or subletting of the Premises. In the event Tenant believes, in good faith, that Landlord has unreasonably withheld its consent to any proposed assignment of this Lease or subletting of the Premises, then Tenant shall elect to have the question of reasonableness determined under the Expedited Procedures provisions of the Commercial Arbitration Rules and Mediation Procedures (including procedures for large complex commercial disputes) (Rules E-1 through E-10 as of the date hereof) of the American Arbitration Association (or any successor thereto), subject, however, to the following modifications: (i) Landlord and Tenant hereby request that a list of proposed arbitrators be sent under the provisions of Rule E-4(a); (ii) each arbitrator on the list of proposed arbitrators shall be currently working in the field of commercial real estate and shall have at least ten (10) years’ experience in the leasing of commercial real estate in the State of New Jersey; (iii) the list of arbitrators referred to in Rule E-4(b) shall be returnable to the American Arbitration Association (or any successor thereto) within five (5) business days from the date of receipt of the list by the addressee; (iv) under the provisions of Rule E-4(c), the parties shall have five (5) business days after being notified of the appointed arbitrator to notify (by telephone) the American Arbitration Association (or any successor thereto) of any objection to said arbitrator, provided that such right to object shall be deemed waived if the arbitrator so appointed was on the list submitted by the American Arbitration Association (or any successor thereto), and Landlord or Tenant, whichever the case may be, did not object to such arbitrator in accordance with the procedures of Rule E-4(c); (v) the American Arbitration Association (or any successor thereto) shall notify the parties of the hearing at least five (5) business days in advance thereof; (vi) the hearing shall be held within ten (10) business days after the appointment of the arbitrator; (vii) the arbitrator shall only decide the issue of whether Landlord unreasonably withheld its consent to the proposed assignment of this Lease or the proposed subletting of the Premises, and shall not have any right to award any monetary damages; and (viii) the arbitrator's compensation, the administrative charges and the filing fees incurred in connection with the arbitration shall be paid by Landlord if the arbitrator determines that Landlord unreasonably withheld its consent or by Tenant if the arbitrator determines that Landlord did not unreasonably withhold its consent. In the event the arbitrator determines that Landlord unreasonably withheld its consent to the proposed assignment of this Lease or the subletting of the Premises, then Landlord shall consent thereto.

- 36 -

(k) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, provided Tenant is not in default, after notice and the expiration of any applicable cure period at the time Tenant gives Landlord the RE Notice (as hereafter defined), Tenant, without Landlord’s prior consent, but upon not less that fifteen (15) days’ prior notice to Landlord (or within fifteen (15) days following the effective date of the applicable transfer if disclosure is not permitted due to the transfer’s confidential nature), (the “RE Notice”) may (i) assign this Lease to, or sublet all or part of the Premises to, or permit a portion of the Premises to be occupied by, any corporation or other business entity which controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with Tenant ( a "Related Entity") and (ii) assign this Lease and the leasehold estate hereby created to a successor entity of Tenant (a “Successor Entity”). A Successor Entity, as used in this Lease, shall mean (w) a corporation or other business entity into which or with which Tenant, its successors or assigns, is merged or consolidated, in accordance with applicable statutory provisions for the merger or consolidation of corporations, provided that by operation of law or by effective provisions contained in the instruments of merger or consolidation, the liabilities of the corporations or other business entities participating in such merger or consolidation are assumed by the corporation or other business entity surviving such merger or consolidation, or (x) a corporation or other business entity acquiring all or substantially all of the assets or outstanding shares of stock of Tenant, its corporate successors or assigns, including the leasehold estate created by this Lease, and assuming the obligations of Tenant under this Lease, (y) any corporate successor or other business entity successor to a successor entity becoming such by either of the methods described in subdivisions (x) and (y) above; provided that (1) such merger or consolidation, or such acquisition and assumption, as the case may be, is not principally for the purpose of transferring the leasehold estate created hereby, and (2) immediately after giving effect to any such merger or consolidation, or such acquisition and assumption, as the case may be, the successor corporation surviving such merger or created by such consolidation or acquiring such assets and assuming such liabilities as the case may be, shall have a net worth, as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied, equal to or greater than the net worth of Tenant immediately preceding such merger, consolidation or acquisition, or (z) any other entity which acquires all or substantially all of the interests in Tenant or in the assets of the business operation of Tenant being conducted at the Premises or any other entity which forms a joint venture or other business arrangement with Tenant to acquire all or substantially all of the interests in Tenant or in the assets of the business operation of Tenant being conducted within the Premises. Any assignment, subletting or occupancy by a Related Entity of Tenant or a Successor Entity of Tenant shall not be deemed to relieve, release, impair or discharge any of Tenant's obligations hereunder. For the purposes hereof, "control" shall be deemed to mean possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of such corporation or other business entity, through the ownership of voting securities, by contract, or otherwise. Landlord acknowledges that the Premises may be occupied by one or more Related Entities and their employees and that such use of the Premises shall not be considered an assignment or sublease, unless Tenant elects to treat it as such. Transfers to a Related Entity or Successor Entity shall not be subject to the provisions set forth in subsections (a)(iv), (b), (c), (d), (e)(ii), (f) or for any attorneys fees and disbursements described in subsection (i) which Landlord incurs in reviewing the proposed assignment of this Lease to a Related or Successor Entity, as the case may be, of this Section 29. Prior to any assigning this Lease, or a sublet all or part of the Premises to a Related Entity, Tenant shall furnish Landlord with the name of any such Related Entity and a written certification from a duly authorized senior officer of Tenant certifying to Landlord that such subtenant is controlled, controlling or under common control with Tenant. In addition, from time to time during any assignment of this Lease or subletting to a Related Entity, upon written request by Landlord, a duly authorized senior officer of Tenant shall certify in writing to Landlord, and shall substantiate by reasonable evidence, that such assignee or subtenant, as the case may be, continues to control, be controlled by or be under the common control with Tenant. Tenant hereby acknowledges and agrees that an assignment of this Lease, or a sublet of all or part of the Premises shall be deemed to have occurred at such time as such assignee or subtenant ceases to be controlled, controlling or under common control with Tenant, and that such assignment or subletting shall be subject to all the provisions of this Article 29 (including, without limitation, the obligation to obtain Landlord’s prior written consent). For purposes of clarification, the issuance, transfer, sale, pledge, or other disposition of the stock, shares, partnership interests, or other equity interests of Tenant shall be permitted without Landlord’s consent and without being subject to the aforesaid subsections, even where effective control of Tenant would shift as a result of any such transfer, in connection with the following transfers: (1) the public offering or trading of Tenant’s stock on a nationally recognized exchange or on the NASDAQ over-the-counter or “small cap issues” markets, or (2) a private placement or other raising of funds to be invested in Tenant for future expansion or additional working capital.

(e) Tenant covenants to investigate, clean up and otherwise remediate, at Tenant’s sole expense, any release of Hazardous Materials caused, contributed to, or created by any or all of (A) Tenant and (B) any or all of Tenant’s shareholders, officers, directors, members, managers, partners, invitees, guests, agents, employees, contractors or representatives (“Tenant Parties”) during the Term. Such investigation and remediation (the “Required Remediation”) shall be performed only after Tenant has obtained Landlord’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be deemed a waiver by Landlord of its remedies under this Lease or Law for any Event of Default; provided, however, that Tenant shall be entitled to respond (in a reasonably appropriate manner) immediately to an emergency without first obtaining such consent. All Required Remediation shall be performed in strict compliance with Laws and to the reasonable satisfaction of Landlord (provided Landlord may not impose requirements more strict than those required by Laws). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall any remediation of either or both of the Premises or the Project involve the use of any engineering control, institutional control, a groundwater classification exception area, a well restriction area or natural attenuation. All Required Remediation shall only be deemed complete upon the delivery to Landlord of a response action outcome, or equivalent issued by a Licensed Site Remediation Professional (a “Response Action Outcome”). Tenant shall be solely responsible for and shall pay for any and all Natural Resource Damages attributable to the actions or omissions of Tenant or Tenant Parties. For purposes of this Lease, “Natural Resource Damages” shall mean any governmental claim for damages to natural resources asserted against Landlord, including, without limitation, any such claim under Section 107(f) of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, or the New Jersey Spill Compensation and Control Act, as the case may be Tenant shall not enter into any settlement agreement, consent decree or other compromise with respect to any claims relating to any Hazardous Materials in any way connected with either or both of the Premises and the Project without first obtaining Landlord’s written consent (which consent may be given or withheld in Landlord’s sole, but reasonable discretion) and affording Landlord the reasonable opportunity to participate in any such proceedings, all at the cost and expense of Tenant, which Tenant shall pay (including, but not limited to, all legal and other professional and expert fees and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection therewith) as Additional Rent, upon demand. As used herein, the term, “Hazardous Materials” shall mean any regulated substance, toxic substance, hazardous substance, hazardous waste, pollution, pollutant or contaminant, as defined or referred to in any Law or Laws pertaining to the protection of human health or the environment, including, without limitation, radon, asbestos, polychlorinated biphenyls, urea formaldehyde and petroleum products and petroleum based derivatives. Where a Law defines any of these terms more broadly than another Law, the broader definition shall apply. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary hereunder, and without waiving all other requirements set forth in this Lease and without this provision being deemed a permission for Tenant to generate, transport, store, use, treat or dispose of any Hazardous Materials at, to, from, on or in either or both of the Premises and the Project, Tenant shall be deemed the owner and generator of Hazardous Materials caused by Tenant to be located at the Premises, and Tenant shall have sole responsibility for all legal and regulatory compliance concerning such Hazardous Materials, including, without limitation, responsibility for proper training, storage, handling, labeling, distribution and off-Project disposal.

- 42 -

(f) Tenant hereby represents and warrants to Landlord, and covenants with Landlord, that the Tenant’s North American Industrial Classification Number (“NAICS”) is 541711, and that throughout this Term, Tenant shall not change the nature of Tenant’s operations at the Premises in a manner that shall result in a change of Tenant’s NAICS number. If prior to the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease, Tenant: (i) fails, pursuant to the Industrial Site Recovery Act, N.J.S.A. 13:1K-6 et seq., and the regulations promulgated there under, and any and all amending and successor legislation and regulations (“ISRA”) and this Lease, to obtain and deliver to Landlord, either (A) the Affidavit, (B) a de minimis quantity exemption issued by the NJDEP, or (C) a Response Action Outcome issued by a Licensed Site Remediation Professional, (the “ISRA Clearance”); or (ii) fails to remediate all Hazardous Materials pursuant to the requirements of this Section 38, and deliver to Landlord a Response Action Outcome (the “Environmental Clearance”); then upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Landlord shall have the option, in addition to all other remedies available to Landlord under this Lease and Law, either to consider this Lease as having ended or to treat Tenant as a hold-over tenant in possession of the Premises. If Landlord considers this Lease as having ended, then Tenant shall nevertheless be obligated to promptly obtain and deliver to Landlord the ISRA Clearance or the Environmental Clearance, as the case may be, and otherwise fulfill all of the obligations of Tenant set forth in this Section 38. If Landlord treats Tenant as a hold-over tenant in possession of the Premises, then Tenant shall pay, monthly to Landlord, double the Base Rent which Tenant would otherwise have paid under the Lease, until such time as Tenant delivers to Landlord the ISRA Clearance or the Environmental Clearance, as the case may be, and otherwise fulfills its obligations to Landlord under this Section 38 and during the holdover period, all of the terms of this Lease shall remain in full force and effect. Tenant shall, at no cost to Tenant cooperate with Landlord by supplying any information or signing any documentation that that may be requested by Landlord, and otherwise assisting Landlord with respect to the compliance with ISRA by Landlord or any other tenant of the Project, in the event that Landlord or any other tenant of the Project triggers ISRA by its actions.

Landlord shall not be responsible to Tenant for the failure of other persons, including, but not limited to, other tenants, their agents, employees, and invitees, to comply with the Rules and Regulations. In the event of any conflict between the Rules and Regulations and this Lease, the terms and provisions of this Lease shall govern.

(i) Except as otherwise documented in the Environmental Baseline Report (as hereafter defined), Landlord represents and warrants, as of the Effective Date and to Landlord’s knowledge, there are no Hazardous Materials located at the Premises, the Building or the Project in violation of applicable Law. Landlord hereby indemnifies, and shall pay, protect and hold Tenant and Tenant Indemnitees harmless from and against all liabilities, losses, claims, demands, costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) and judgments of any nature arising, or alleged to arise, from or in connection with (a) any Hazardous Materials or violations of Law affecting the Premises, the Building or the Project prior to the Commencement Date, or (b) any Hazardous Materials or violations of Law affecting the Premises, the Building or the Project after the Commencement Date to the extent directly caused by the negligence of Landlord or any Landlord Parties. Landlord will resist and defend any action, suit or proceeding brought against Tenant by reason of any such Hazardous Materials in violation of applicable Law, which are not the result of Tenant’s operations at, or occupancy of the Premises or the acts or negligence of any Tenant Parties, by independent counsel selected by Landlord, which is reasonably acceptable to Tenant. For purposes of this Lease, the “Environmental Baseline Report” shall mean and refer to that certain “Phase I Environmental Site Assessment” by AEI Consultants dated April 9, 2013.

39. ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND COSTS. In the event either Landlord or Tenant shall file any proceeding against the other, whether at law or in equity, to enforce the provisions of this Lease, the prevailing party shall be entitled to collect its reasonable attorney fees and costs from the other party.

The size, style/design, location and method of installation of such signage shall be subject to Landlord’s approval and applicable Laws in all respects. Any and all signs installed or constructed by or on behalf of Tenant in accordance with this subsection (a) shall be installed, maintained in good condition and repair, and removed by Tenant at the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense.

Tenant hereby agrees that such Changes and Landlord's actions in connection with such Changes in accordance with the provisions of this Section shall in no way constitute a constructive eviction of Tenant or entitle Tenant to any abatement of rent. Provided such Changes comply with this Section, Landlord shall have no responsibility or for any reason be liable to Tenant for any direct or indirect injury to or interference with Tenant's business arising from the Changes, nor shall Tenant be entitled to any compensation or damages from Landlord for any inconvenience or annoyance occasioned by such Changes or Landlord's actions with such Changes in compliance with the provisions of this Section 44.
