Due Diligence; Condition of the Property.
(a) During
the term of this Agreement, Buyer may perform, at Buyer's sole expense, a survey
of the Property and environmental and engineering investigations of the Property

physical testing without the express written consent of Seller. As part of
Buyer’s investigations, Buyer may obtain from the New Jersey Department of
Environmental Protection the following items: (i) a Letter of Interpretation
(if
required) regarding the delineation and/or existence of wetlands (if any) on
the

right, during the term of this Agreement, to examine and copy at Buyer's expense
the assessments, reports and/or correspondence regarding the environmental
condition of the Property as well as any other assessments, reports and/or
correspondence available at Seller’s office located on the Property. Buyer shall
be permitted to enter upon the Property during the term of this Agreement for
the purpose of conducting its investigations on the following terms and
conditions: (i) prior to any entry onto the Property, Buyer shall provide to
Seller an insurance certificate confirming that Buyer has in effect a policy
of
commercial general liability insurance, with a reputable insurance company,
naming Seller as an additional insured party with limits of not less than
$1,000,000.00 for each occurrence and $2,000,000.00 in the annual aggregate
for
bodily injury (including death) and $1,000,000.00 in annual aggregate for

the Property arising in connection with Buyer’s entry onto the Property and
shall restore the Property to the same condition as before such entry; and
(iii)
Buyer shall indemnify and hold Seller harmless from and against any and all
claims arising from or by reason of Buyer's entry upon the Property. Buyer

right to have a representative present at all times during examinations and
inspections performed by Buyer. Buyer shall have the right to communicate with
any and all of Seller’s consultants, employees, management companies, tenants
and government officials in connection with Seller’s investigation of the
Property. In the event the results of any of Buyer's investigations are not
satisfactory to Buyer in Buyer’s sole discretion, Buyer shall have the right, in
its absolute discretion, for any reason, to terminate this Agreement before
the
expiration of the Due Diligence Period, in which case the Deposit shall be
promptly refunded to Buyer. If Buyer does not terminate this Agreement as
aforesaid, this contingency shall be deemed satisfied, and Buyer shall be deemed
to have irrevocably waived the foregoing condition precedent. Buyer hereby
confirms that, if Buyer does not terminate this Agreement on or before the
expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Buyer will be satisfied with the
condition of the Property, and Buyer will be accepting the Property in its
"AS-IS" condition as of the expiration of the Due Diligence Period.
6
(b) Prior
to
Closing, Seller shall comply with ISRA (as defined below) and obtain and provide
to Buyer either:
(i) a
letter
from the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (“NJDEP”) stating
that the New Jersey Industrial Site Recovery Act, N.J.S.A. 13:1K-6 et. seq.
and
the regulations promulgated thereunder (collectively “ISRA”) are not applicable
to the transaction contemplated by this Agreement (a “Letter of
Non-Applicability”); or
(ii) an
approved Negative Declaration (as defined by ISRA), De Minimis Quantity
Exemption (as defined by ISRA), Expedited Review (as defined by ISRA), Regulated
Underground Storage Tank Waiver (as defined by ISRA), Remediation in Progress

Regulated Underground Storage Tank Waiver, Remeditation in Progress Waiver
or No
Further Action Letter, as the case may be, are hereinafter referred to
collectively as the “ISRA Clearance”) for each property subject to the
transaction contemplated by this Agreement and ISRA.
(c) If
Seller
is unable to obtain a Letter of Non-Applicability or ISRA Clearance prior to
Closing for each property subject to the transaction contemplated by this
Agreement and ISRA, then Seller shall apply for and, prior to Closing, enter
into a Remediation Agreement (as defined by ISRA) with NJDEP for each property
subject to the transaction contemplated by this Agreement and ISRA for which
a
Letter of Non-Applicability or ISRA Clearance cannot be obtained. In any such
Remediation Agreement, Seller shall pay for and be identified as the sole party
responsible for:
7
(i) compliance
with the Remediation Agreement after Closing;
(ii) obtaining
ISRA Clearance after the Closing; and
(iii) providing
all necessary financial assurance required by NJDEP under any such Remediation

substantial amount of information relating to the Property available for Buyer’s
examination; (ii) Seller will be making the Property and additional information
available to Buyer during the Due Diligence Period; (iii) Buyer will inspect
the
Property and such information to the extent deemed necessary by Buyer; and
(iv)
Buyer will be relying solely on the results of its own examinations and
inspections with respect to the physical and environmental condition of the
Property and all other aspects of the Property. Except as expressly provided
in
this Agreement, Seller has not made and does not make any representation of
any
nature as to the physical condition or operation of the Property, as to the
accuracy, thoroughness or completeness of, or the conclusions drawn in, any
information provided by Seller to Buyer, or as to any other matter or thing
affecting or related to the Property, and Buyer hereby expressly acknowledges
that no such other representations have been made by Seller or relied on by
Buyer. Seller shall not be liable or bound in any manner by any expressed or
implied warranties, guaranties, promises, statements, representation, or
information pertaining to the Property, made or furnished by any agent,
employee, servant or other person representing or purporting to represent
Seller, unless such warranties, guaranties, promises, statements,
representations or information are expressly and specifically set forth in
this
Agreement. All representations, warranties, understandings and agreements
heretofore had between the parties hereto are merged in this Agreement, which
alone fully and completely expresses their agreement.

AND AGENTS, AND EACH OF THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS,

LOSSES AND DEMANDS, INCLUDING THOSE ARISING FROM PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH,
AND
ALL CONSEQUENCES THEREOF (INCLUDING ANY INTERRUPTION OR INTERFERENCE WITH ANY

action, costs, damages, personal injuries and property damages, losses and
expenses, both known and unknown, present and future, at law or in equity
arising out of, by virtue of or related in any way to: (i) any environmental

(b) If
the

thereof. Thereafter, Seller shall retain a reputable, independent architect
or
contractor reasonably approved by Buyer to estimate the cost to repair or
replace such damage (the “Estimate”) and shall deliver to Buyer the Estimate
within twenty (20) days after the damage occurred. If the architect or
contractor estimates that the cost to repair or replace such damage is more
than
One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00), then Buyer shall have the right to
terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller within ten (10) days of
the
delivery of the Estimate to Buyer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Seller
notifies Buyer at the ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ furnishes the Estimate that Seller is willing
to perform all required repairs and replacements to restore the Improvements
to
substantially the same condition as they were prior to the damage (“Seller’s
Repair Election”), then Buyer shall have no termination right (regardless of
amount of the Estimate) and the Closing Date shall be postponed for up to three
(3) months, as Seller shall elect by notice to Buyer, so that Seller can
complete the necessary repairs and replacements. In the event that Seller
exercises the Seller’s Repair Election, Seller will cause the repairs and
replacements to be made by a reputable contractor, in compliance with applicable
laws and regulations, such that the Improvements are repaired and restored
no
later than three (3) months after the closing date as originally scheduled
herein. The Property shall not be deemed to be complete unless the Property
is
in substantially the same condition as of the Effective Date. Seller will assign
to Buyer at Closing all warranties from all contractors and material and
equipment suppliers and manufacturers relating to the repair, restoration and
replacement work.
(c) If
this
Agreement cannot be terminated pursuant to Subsection 13(b), or if Buyer elects
not to terminate the Agreement notwithstanding any such damage (and a failure
to
terminate within the aforementioned ten (10) day period shall be deemed to
be an
election not to terminate), then (i) Seller shall file appropriate proofs of
loss and shall properly adjust all applicable insurance policies,
(ii) provided insurance proceeds are made available therefor, Seller shall
repair such damage to the extent necessary to restore the Improvements to a
safe
condition before Closing or to prevent further damage to or deterioration of
the
Improvements, except that if Seller has exercised Seller’s Repair Election, then
Seller will repair or restore the Improvements in accordance with Section 13(b)
irrespective of the amount or availability of insurance proceeds, (iii) except
to the extent used to repair and restore the Improvements, all proceeds of
such
insurance actually received by Seller shall be applied as a credit against
the
Purchase Price, (iv) at Closing Seller shall assign to Buyer, in form reasonably
satisfactory to Buyer, all unpaid claims and rights relating to such damage
and
shall credit the applicable deductible amount against the Purchase Price, and
(v) at and following Closing, Seller shall give Buyer, at Buyer's expense,
such
further assurances of such claims and rights and such assignment as Buyer may
from time to time reasonably request.
13
(d) The
provisions of this Section 13 shall survive the Closing.
14. Condemnation.
If the
entire Property or a material part thereof (as defined below) is taken by
eminent domain, or a proceeding is initiated to effect such a taking by eminent
domain, prior to Closing, Seller shall promptly notify Buyer, and Buyer may
terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller within ten (10) days of
receiving Seller’s notice. If (i) less than a material part of the Property
is taken, or a proceeding is initiated to effect such a taking, prior to
Closing, or (ii) Buyer elects not to terminate this Agreement even though the
entire Property or a material part thereof is taken by eminent domain, or a
proceeding is initiated to effect such a taking by eminent domain, prior to
Closing (and a failure to terminate within the aforementioned ten (10) day
period shall be deemed to be an election not to terminate), then in either
case
(A) Seller shall file appropriate claims with the condemning authority,
(B) provided condemnation proceeds are made available therefor, Seller
shall repair any damage to the extent necessary to restore the Property to
a
safe condition (where only a partial condemnation occurs), (C) except to the
extent used to repair and restore the Property, all proceeds of such
condemnation actually received by Seller shall be applied as a credit against
the Purchase Price, (D) at Closing Seller shall assign to Buyer, in form
reasonably satisfactory to Buyer, all unpaid claims and rights relating to
such
condemnation, and (E) at and following Closing, Seller shall give Buyer, at
Buyer's expense, such further assurances of such claims and rights and such
assignment as Buyer may from time to time reasonably request. The provisions
of
this Section 14 shall survive the Closing. For the purposes of this Section
14,
a taking of a “material part” of the Property shall mean any taking that
involves more than ten percent (10%) of the acreage of Building.
15. Buyer's
Default.
In the
event Buyer shall default in the observance or performance of any of its
obligations hereunder, then Seller, at its option, shall have the right, as
its
sole and exclusive remedy, to terminate this Agreement and retain the Deposit
as
liquidated damages it being expressly understood that the retention of such
Deposit by Seller as aforesaid constitutes a fair and reasonable amount for
the
damage sustained by Seller by reason of Buyer’s default of this Agreement.
16. Seller's
Default.
If
Seller fails to complete Closing or to convey to Buyer title to the Property
as
required by this Agreement, then Buyer shall have the right, as Buyer's sole
right and remedy, either to (a) take such title to the Property as Seller can
give with an adjustment of the Purchase Price that is mutually agreed upon
by
Seller and Buyer, (b) terminate this Agreement and receive the Deposit, or
(c)
enforce this Agreement by specific performance. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Buyer’s right to ▇▇▇ Seller for specific performance shall terminate and be of
no further force and effect if not exercised on or prior to the date that is
60
days after the scheduled Closing Date. Accordingly, if Buyer does not file
a
lawsuit against Seller for specific performance of this Agreement on or before
such date, Buyer’s right to do so shall lapse.
14
17. Termination.
Whenever this Agreement specifies a right of Buyer or Seller to terminate this
Agreement, such right shall be exercisable only by the exercising party giving
written notice thereof to the other party in accordance with Section 22 below,
whereupon all rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall terminate,
except to the extent otherwise expressed in this Agreement, and all original
counterparts of this Agreement shall be returned to Seller
promptly.
18. Seller's
Liability.
Except
for any provision of this Agreement that expressly survives Closing or the
termination of this Agreement, upon the earlier to occur of Closing or the
termination of this Agreement by Buyer or Seller pursuant to a termination
right
specified herein, Seller automatically shall be deemed relieved and released
from all obligations and liability to Buyer under this Agreement.
19. Assignability
.
(a) Seller
shall not assign this Agreement or any rights hereunder.
(b) Prior
to
Closing, Buyer may at its option freely assign this Agreement to any three
(3)
entities controlled by, controlling or under common control with the named
Buyer
(an “affiliated entity”), without the consent of Seller; however, Buyer shall
provide Seller with written notice and reasonable evidence documenting the
relationship between Buyer and the single assignee at least five (5) days prior
to the Closing Date and if not delivered this right and any assignment shall
be
null and void. Otherwise, Buyer may not assign this Agreement or any rights
or
remedies of Buyer hereunder without Seller’s prior written consent, in Seller’s
sole discretion. Any such assignment by Buyer shall not relieve Buyer from
any
of its obligations hereunder. Subject to the foregoing, all of the terms,
covenants and conditions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and
bind the respective successors and assigns of Buyer.
20. Brokers.
Buyer
covenants, represents and warrants to Seller that Buyer has had no dealing
or
negotiations with any broker or agent or finder in connection with respect
to
this Agreement other than ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Oak Realty, LLC. Buyer shall pay ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Oak

charges claimed by any other broker or agent with whom the indemnifying party
has had any dealings or negotiations with respect to this
Agreement.
21. Confidentiality.
(a) Buyer
agrees to keep confidential and not to use, other than in connection with its
determination whether to proceed with the purchase of the Property in accordance
with Section 6 hereof, any of the documents, material or information regarding
the Property supplied to Buyer by Seller or by any third party at Sellers'
request except to Buyer's consultants or attorneys on a “need to know” basis,
unless Buyer is compelled to disclose such documents, material or information
by
law or by subpoena and excluding any information previously known to the Buyer,
any information obtained by Buyer from a third party who had the right to
disclose such information to Buyer, and any information as it becomes generally
known to others without breach by Buyer of its obligations hereunder. Buyer
agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Seller from and against any and all
losses, damages, claims and liabilities of any kind (including without
limitation reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of Buyer's breach of this

AGREEMENT
THIS
LEASE AGREEMENT made this
day of
,
2007
(the “Commencement Date”), by and between ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLC (“Landlord”)
and NexMed (USA), Inc. (“Tenant”).
Background
Landlord
is the owner of certain premises located at and known as ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇,
▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ (the “Premises”). The Premises consists
of (i) the land described in Exhibit
“A”
(the
“Land”), (ii) the buildings and improvements constructed thereon (the
“Improvements”), (iii) all easements, rights of way, licenses, privileges and
appurtenances, if any, belonging to or inuring to the benefit of the Land or
the
Improvements. (For the avoidance of doubt, the Improvements do not include
Tenant’s Property (as hereinafter defined).) Landlord desires to let and demise
to Tenant and Tenant desires to take and hire from Landlord the Premises,
subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.
Agreement
NOW
THEREFORE, intending to be legally bound, Landlord and Tenant hereby agree
as
follows:
32. Premises
and Term.
(a) Landlord
hereby lets and demises to Tenant and Tenant hereby takes and hires from
Landlord the Premises for a term (the “Lease Term”) beginning on the
Commencement Date and expiring without further notice or act on the last day
of
the month in which the second (2nd)
anniversary of the Commencement Date occurs, unless sooner terminated or
extended as provided herein.
(b) So
long a
Tenant Default (as hereinafter defined) has not occurred beyond any applicable
notice or cure periods under this Lease, Tenant shall have the option to renew
this Lease for one (1) consecutive renewal term (the “Renewal Term”) of one (1)
year, commencing on the first day following the expiration of the Lease Term
and
the same terms and conditions as set forth in this Lease shall apply to such
Renewal Term, except that the Annual Fixed Rent set forth in Exhibit
“B”
due from
Tenant during such Renewal Term shall be increased to $780,000.00 per year.
Tenant shall exercise its option to renew the Lease Term by giving written
notice to Landlord not less than three (3) months prior to the expiration of
the
Lease Term.
(c) At
any
time after the sixth (6th)
month
of the Lease Term, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease upon
ninety (90) days written notice to Landlord. Tenant shall vacate the Premises
by
the end of the ninety (90) day period and shall continue to pay Rent, as
hereinafter defined, until the last day of the ninety (90) day period. This
right of termination is exclusive to the Tenant and may not be assigned or
transferred to any future tenant, assignee or transferee.
33. Rent.
(a) Beginning
on the Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay to Landlord in lawful money of the
United States minimum annual rental in the amounts set forth in Exhibit
“B”
(“Annual
Fixed Rent”) in equal monthly installments of one-twelfth of the amount thereof,
payable in advance on the first day of each and every calendar month during
the
Lease Term. The first such monthly installment shall be due and payable on
the
Commencement Date. If the Commencement Date occurs on a day other than the
first
day of a calendar month or if the Lease Term ends on a day other than the last
day of a calendar month, the Rent due for the partial calendar months occurring
at the commencement and expiration of the Lease Term shall be prorated on a
per
diem basis.
(b) Except
as
otherwise set forth in this Lease, all costs, expenses and obligations with
respect to the Premises shall be paid by Tenant, so that, except as otherwise
set forth in this Lease, the Annual Fixed Rent payable by Tenant to Landlord
hereunder shall be “net” to Landlord.
(c) All
sums
other than Annual Fixed Rent payable by Tenant under this Lease are referred
to
hereinafter as “Additional Rent” and Landlord shall have the same rights and
remedies for non-payment thereof as Landlord has for non-payment of Annual
Fixed
Rent. Annual Fixed Rent and Additional Rent are sometimes referred to
hereinafter collectively as “Rent”.
(d) Except
as
otherwise set forth in this Lease, all monetary obligations shall be paid
without notice or demand and without set-off, counterclaim, recoupment,
abatement, suspension, deferment, diminution, deduction, reduction or defense.
(e) In
order
to compensate Landlord for the additional expense Landlord may incur in the
event Tenant is delinquent in the payment of Rent, Tenant agrees to pay a late
charge of Fifty Dollars ($50.00) per day and interest to Landlord at the Overdue
Interest Rate (as hereinafter defined) on account of any payment of Rent that
is
not paid within five (5) days after the same is due, from the date that any
such
payment is due to the actual date of payment. As used herein, the term "Overdue
Interest Rate" shall mean two percent (2%) per annum over the interest rate
quoted from time to time by Wachovia Bank, N.A. (or such other national bank
with offices in New Jersey as may be selected by Landlord), as its "prime"
rate
of interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the interest and late fee referred
to in this Section 2(e) shall not be payable with respect to the first
occurrence during any twelve (12) month period during the Lease Term that Tenant
fails to make a payment of Rent when due, until five (5) days after Landlord
delivers written notice of such delinquency to Tenant. If Tenant’s payment of
Rent is still delinquent on the sixth (6th)
day
after Landlord delivers such written notice, then Landlord shall be entitled
to
the forgoing late charge and interest as of the first day that Tenant’s payment
of Rent was delinquent. Landlord shall only be required to deliver Tenant notice
of such delinquency once during any twelve (12) month period during the Lease
Term.
2
(f) If
Landlord receives two (2) or more checks from Tenant which are returned by
Tenant’s bank for insufficient funds, Landlord may require that all checks
thereafter be bank certified or cashier’s checks (without limiting Landlord’s
other remedies). All bank service charges resulting from any returned checks
shall be borne by Tenant.
34. Taxes
and Other Charges.
(a) Tenant
shall pay before any fine, penalty, interest or cost may be added thereto,
or
become due or be imposed by operation of law for the non-payment thereof, all
taxes, including municipal and school taxes, assessments, rates and charges,
county taxes, excises, levies, and all other license and permit fees and other
governmental charges, including but not limited any establishment fees,
manufacturing fees, or impact fees imposed by the federal, state or municipal
government or any such governmental agency, and any taxes, charges or fees
in
lieu of any of the foregoing, which during the Lease Term may be assessed,
levied, confirmed, imposed upon, or become due and payable with respect to
the
Premises or any part thereof or any appurtenance thereto (all of which are
hereinafter collectively called “Taxes”). Landlord shall promptly submit to
Tenant copies of all such Tax bills directed to Landlord. Tenant shall pay
such
Taxes directly to the government or other public authority charged with the
collection thereof. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord copies of receipts or
canceled checks showing the payment of such Taxes.
(b) All
Taxes
which shall be charged, laid, levied, assessed or imposed for each fiscal period
in which the Lease Term terminates shall be apportioned pro rata between
Landlord and Tenant in accordance with the portion of the relevant fiscal period
during which the Lease Term shall be in effect. In the event that any payment
of
Taxes is due during the Lease Term with respect to a fiscal period that extends
beyond the Lease Term, Landlord shall pay Tenant Landlord’s proportionate share
thereof (based upon the portion of the fiscal period that extends beyond the
Lease Term) at least ten (10) days prior to the date that payment is due with
the maximum discount. Provided that Tenant receives Landlord’s payment as
aforesaid, Tenant shall remit to the taxing authority, the full amount due
for
the relevant fiscal period. If Tenant does not receive Landlord’s payment as
aforesaid, Tenant shall remit to the taxing authority, Tenant’s proportionate
share of Taxes for the relevant fiscal period. In the event that any payment
of
Taxes is due after the expiration of the Lease Term with respect to a fiscal
period that includes part of the Lease Term, Tenant shall pay to Landlord
Tenant’s proportionate share thereof (based upon the portion of the fiscal
period that was included in the Lease Term) with the last monthly payment of
Rent due to Landlord.
(c) If
any
special assessment with respect to the Premises may be paid in installments,
Tenant shall be obligated to pay only those installments which become due and
payable during the Lease Term.
(d) Nothing
herein contained shall require or be construed to require Tenant to pay any
transfer, recording, inheritance, estate, succession, franchise, excise,
business privilege, income, gross receipts or profit tax, or capital levy that
is or may be imposed upon Landlord.
3
(e) Tenant
shall have the right to request that Landlord contest any increase in any Taxes
levied against the Premises and Landlord shall have the right to decide whether
to contest such increase in its sole and absolute discretion.
35. Utilities
and Other Service Charges.
During
the Lease Term, Tenant will pay for all water, gas, oil, electricity, heat,
telephone, sewage, trash removal, janitorial and landscaping services and snow
removal and all other utilities and services used by Tenant in the Premises,
except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Lease. Landlord is not obligated
to provide or pay for any utilities or services supplied to the
Premises.
36. Maintenance
and Repair.
(a) Except
as
set forth in subsection 5(b) below, Tenant, at its sole cost and expense
throughout the Lease Term, shall keep and maintain the Premises, including,
but
not limited to all plumbing, electrical, sewage, life-safety, heating,
ventilating, and air-conditioning systems, and all pipes, wires, lines and
conduits contained therein or which are part thereof, in the same order and
condition as they are on the Commencement Date and shall make all repairs,
replacements and renewals necessary to keep them in such order and condition,
reasonable wear and tear and damage by fire or other casualty (including the
elements) excepted. In addition, Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall
seal or stripe the parking areas as commercially reasonable and necessary to
maintain such areas in good condition.
(b) Landlord,
at its own cost and expense, shall keep and maintain the roof, the roof drain,
outside walls, foundation and structural components of the Improvements
(including the footings, exterior walls, foundations and structural steel
columns and girders) in good order and condition and will make all necessary
repairs, replacements and renewals necessary to keep them in such order and
condition, reasonable wear and tear and damage by fire or other casualty
(including the elements) excepted. In addition, Landlord, at its sole cost
and
expense, shall pave the parking areas as commercially reasonable and necessary
to maintain such areas in good condition.
37. Use.
Tenant
shall have the right to use the Premises for its intended purpose as a
pharmaceutical manufacturing facility, including office, laboratory and
pharmaceutical manufacturing facility. Tenant shall not use or occupy or permit
any of the Premises to be used or occupied, nor do or permit anything to be
done
in or on any of the Premises, in a manner which would or might constitute a
public or private nuisance or waste,
or
which would prevent Landlord from (i) obtaining or maintaining any permits,
licenses, or approvals for the Property as a pharmaceutical manufacturing
facility or (ii) insuring the Property or increasing the cost of insuring the
Property.
38. Compliance
with Law.
Except
as set forth in the following paragraph, Tenant agrees that during the Lease
Term, it will, at its own cost and expense, promptly comply with: (a) all
present and future federal, state, county, city and municipal or other statutes,
charters, laws, rules, orders, regulations and ordinances affecting the
Premises, the occupancy, use or repair thereof; (b) all rules, orders, and
regulations of all public officers including the police, health and fire
departments and with the National Board of Fire Underwriters or other similar
organizations for the prevention of fire or the corrections of hazardous
conditions; and (c) the requirements of all insurance companies having policies
or public liability, fire and other insurance at any time in force and effect
with respect to the Premises and its permanent improvements. Tenant’s
obligations to comply with this Section 7 shall include, without limitation
obtaining all permits, licenses, certificates and approvals to conduct its
business in the Premises, or any necessary waivers or variances, without thereby
subjecting Landlord or the Premises to any costs, requirements, liabilities
or
restrictions.
4
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Tenant shall in no event have any obligation to do any of the
following, all of which shall be done by Landlord at its sole cost and expense:
(a) make any repair or replacement which would otherwise be Landlord’s
responsibility under subsection 5(b) of
this
Lease; (b) correct, remedy, repair or replace any condition which was in
existence prior to the Commencement Date; or (c) correct or remedy any
environmental problem which was not caused or created by Tenant on or after
the
Commencement Date.
39. Sublease
and Assignment.
(a) Tenant
shall not be permitted to sublease all or any portion of the Premises or assign
this Lease without the prior written approval of Landlord, which may be withheld
or denied in Landlord’s sole discretion.
(b) Notwithstanding
foregoing provisions of this Section, Tenant will have the right to assign
the
Lease or sublet all or any part of the Premises to an affiliate of Tenant which
is in existence on the Commencement Date without obtaining Landlord’s prior
approval, but Tenant shall provide notice of Tenant’s intent to assign or sublet
at least fifteen (15) days prior to the effective date of the same and shall
provide current audited financial statements for any affiliate. Furthermore,
any
affiliate of Tenant shall be permitted to use all or any part of the Premises,
and such use shall not be considered an assignment of the Lease or a sublet
of
the Premises. The term “affiliate of Tenant” shall mean any person(s),
partnership(s), corporation(s), or other form of business or legal association
or entity that has a net worth in excess of Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00)
and (i) owning or controlling Tenant, under common ownership or control with
Tenant, or controlled by Tenant or (ii) acquiring all or substantially all
of
Tenant’s assets or ownership interests.
(c) No
subleasing of the Premises or assignment of this Lease, nor the granting of
any
consent by Landlord with respect thereto, shall release or relieve Tenant from
liability for the payment of Rent or performance of any other obligations of
Tenant under this Lease, except in the case of an assignment of this Lease
to an
assignee that has a net worth on the date of the assignment in excess of Five
Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00) (in which case Tenant shall be released from
any
further liability or obligation thereafter arising under this
Lease).
5
40. Fire
or Other Casualty.
(a) The
term
“Major Casualty” as used in this Section means any fire or other casualty
(including the elements) which causes damage to or destruction of the Premises
of such an extent that, in the opinion of an independent licensed engineer
or
architect retained by Tenant, it would require one hundred twenty (120) days
or
more to restore the Premises to the condition which existed prior to the Major
Casualty, from the date that such restoration is commenced. The term “Minor
Casualty” as used in this Section means any fire or other casualty (including
the elements) which causes damage to or destruction of the Premises of such
an
extent that it would require less than one hundred twenty (120) days to restore
the Premises to the condition which existed prior to the Minor Casualty, from
the date that such restoration is commenced. The term “Casualty” as used in this
Section means either a Minor Casualty or a Major Casualty.
(b) Immediately
following the occurrence of a Casualty, Tenant shall notify Landlord of the
Casualty. Within thirty (30) days of the Casualty, Tenant shall send written
notice to Landlord estimating the date (“Restoration Completion Date”) that the
Premises will be fully restored to the condition which existed prior to the
Casualty, including a copy of the opinion of an independent engineer or
architect setting forth the estimate of the number of days required to restore
the Premises to the condition which existed prior to the Casualty, from the
date
that such restoration is commenced. Landlord shall have the right, but not the
obligation, to have its own engineer or architect evaluate the damage and
estimate the number of days required to restore the Premises to the condition
which existed prior to the Casualty, from the date that such restoration is
commenced.
(c) In
the
event of a Minor Casualty, Tenant shall proceed with reasonable diligence to
restore the Premises as nearly as possible to its condition prior to the
occurrence of the Minor Casualty. In the event that the insurance proceeds
are
insufficient to complete repair, restoration or rebuilding of the Premises,
Tenant shall be solely responsible for such deficiency and shall be directly
responsible for payment of any costs in excess of the insurance proceeds,
including without limitation any deductible under the insurance
policy.
(d) In
the
event of a Major Casualty, then either Landlord or Tenant may elect to cancel
and terminate this Lease as of the date of the occurrence of the Major Casualty
by giving written notice to the non-canceling party of its election to do so
within thirty (30) days after the date of occurrence of such damage. If the
Lease is terminated by either party, then Tenant shall (i) assign to Landlord
all of Tenant’s right, title and interest in and to all insurance proceeds paid
or payable to Tenant on account of the Improvements (but Tenant shall retain
all
right, title and interest in and to all insurance proceeds paid or payable
to
Tenant on account of Tenant’s Property), (ii) pay to Landlord the deductible
carried by Tenant to the extent such deductible exceeds One Hundred Thousand
Dollars ($100,000.00) (except that Tenant shall pay the full deductible if
the
Major Casualty is the result of the sole negligence of Tenant, its agents,
servants, employees, contractors, invitees or licensees), (iii) be released
from
all further obligation to repair, restore or rebuild the Premises under this
Lease. Upon the termination of this Lease under this Section, both Landlord
and
Tenant shall be released from further obligations to the other party coincident
with the surrender of possession of the Premises, except for any Rent, charges,
costs, or items which have theretofore accrued and are then unpaid.
6
(e) In
the
event that there occurs any Casualty and this Lease is not terminated by either
Tenant or Landlord pursuant to subsection 9(d), then Tenant shall act diligently
and in good faith to restore and repair the Premises to its condition prior
to
the occurrence of the Casualty. In the event that Tenant is responsible for
restoring the Premises and the insurance proceeds are insufficient to complete
repair, restoration or rebuilding of the Premises, Tenant shall be solely
responsible for such deficiency and shall be directly responsible for payment
of
any costs in excess of the insurance proceeds, including without limitation
any
deductible under the insurance policy. Tenant’s obligation to pay Rent for any
portion of the Premises shall be equitably abated from the date of the Casualty
until the date that the Premises has been substantially restored; provided,
however, that such abatement shall apply only to the portion of the Premises

event of any reconstruction, restoration, or re-fixturing of the Premises by
Tenant under this section, Tenant shall promptly obtain receipt of said

at its expense obtain, all permits, approvals and certificates required by
any
governmental or quasi-governmental bodies and (upon completion) certificates
of
final approval thereof and shall deliver promptly duplicates of all such
permits, approvals and certificates to Landlord and Tenant agrees to carry
and

bond, or as is otherwise required by law.

and rent loss insurance;
(ii) comprehensive
general liability insurance in the amount of at least $2,000,000.00, combined

(ii) as to liability coverages, be written on an “occurrence” basis, (iii)
provide that Landlord shall receive thirty (30) days notice from the insurer
before any cancellation or change in coverage, and (iv) contain a provision
that
no act or omission of Tenant shall affect or limit the obligation of the insurer

provision that such policy and the coverage evidenced thereby shall be primary
and non-contributing with respect to any policies carried by Landlord.
(c) Tenant

to
the Premises.
(d) Tenant
hereby releases Landlord from any and all liability or responsibility to Tenant
or anyone claiming through or under Tenant by way of subrogation or otherwise
for any loss or damage to property covered by any insurance then in force (and,
if none is in force, then to the extent such damage would have been covered
had
the insurance required by subsection 10(a)(i) been procured and maintained),
even if such loss or damage shall have been caused by the fault or negligence
of
Landlord or anyone for whom Landlord may be responsible; provided, however,
that
this release shall be applicable and in force and effect only with respect
to
any loss or damage occurring during such time as the policy or policies of
insurance covering said loss shall contain a clause or endorsement to the effect
that this release shall not adversely affect or impair such insurance or
prejudice the right of Tenant to recover thereunder. Tenant agrees, at its
sole
cost, to obtain such a clause or endorsement if it is available.
(e) Any
loss
under the fire and casualty insurance policy shall be adjusted with the
insurance companies by and at the cost of Tenant, but, if Tenant has exercised
the right to terminate this Lease in accordance with subsection 9(d) above,
settlement shall be subject to the approval of Landlord (not to be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned or delayed) and the proceeds from the settlement shall
be
assigned to Landlord in accordance with subsection 9(d) above.
8
(f) Except
for Landlord’s acts, omissions or negligence, Landlord shall not be liable for
any damage or damages of any nature whatsoever to persons or property caused

of any public utility or service, by steam, gas, electricity, water, rain or
other substances leaking, issuing or flowing into any part of the Premises,
by
natural occurrence, acts of the public enemy, riot, strike, insurrection, war,
court order, requisition or order of governmental body or authority, or by

to
protect its interests.

maintain the Premises in accordance with Good Manufacturing Practices (“GMP”) as
defined by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) including, but not
limited to, specific alterations required by the FDA in connection with its
periodic inspection of the Premises without obtaining Landlord’s approval, but
Tenant shall provide notice of Tenant’s intent to perform any alterations at
least fifteen (15) days prior to the date on which the work is scheduled to
commence. Tenant shall not make any Major Alteration to the Improvements without
first securing Landlord’s written approval, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The term “Major Alteration” means
any alteration or addition which could adversely affect demising walls, the
sewer, plumbing, roof, any structural component, or any electrical or mechanical
system of the Improvements. Any alterations and additions shall be executed
by
Tenant in a good and workmanlike manner. Tenant shall, before making any
alterations, at its expense obtain, all permits, approvals and certificates
required by any governmental or quasi-governmental bodies and (upon completion)
certificates of final approval thereof and shall deliver promptly duplicates
of
all such permits, approvals and certificates to Landlord and Tenant agrees
to
carry and will cause Tenant's contractors and sub-contractors to carry ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇
compensation, general liability, personal and property damage insurance. Upon
completion of any Major Alteration, Tenant shall obtain and deliver to Landlord
final unconditional lien waivers with respect to all work performed in, upon
or
to the Premises from all contractors employed by Tenant and/or its contractors
in connection with the Major Alteration. Except as hereinafter provided, all
alterations made by Tenant shall become the property of Landlord and shall
be
surrendered to Landlord upon the expiration or earlier termination of this
Lease. When granting consent for any Major Alternation, Landlord shall indicate
whether it will require the removal of the Major Alteration at the expiration
or
earlier termination of the Lease. Tenant shall remove Major Alterations that
Landlord requested be removed at the expiration or earlier termination of the
Lease. Tenant shall repair at its sole cost and expense all damage caused to
the
Premises by removal of any Major Alterations.
(b) No
mechanic’s liens or other lien shall be allowed against the Premises as a result
of Tenant’s alterations to the Premises. Tenant shall promptly pay all persons
furnishing labor, materials, or services with respect to any work performed
by
Tenant on the Premises. Any mechanic’s liens filed against the Premises for work
done or materials supplied to Tenant in the making of alterations, decorations,
installations, additions, or improvements shall be promptly paid or bonded
and
discharged within forty five (45) days following notice to Tenant of the
intention by the labor material supplier to assert or file such lien. Tenant
agrees to indemnify and to save and hold Landlord harmless against all
judgments, costs, expenses and reasonable attorneys fees Landlord may incur
by
reason of Tenant’s failure to discharge such liens.

43. Condemnation
(a) The
term
“Total Taking” as used herein means any taking of all or a portion of the
Premises by condemnation or other governmental proceeding as a result of which
it is unreasonable or impossible for Tenant to properly conduct its business
in
the Premises. The term “Partial Taking” means any taking of a portion of the
Premises, other than a Total Taking. The term “Taking” means either a Total
Taking or a Partial Taking.

the
event of a Taking, the entire proceeds of any condemnation award or compensation
shall belong to Landlord, except as hereinafter provided. In such event, Tenant
shall and hereby does assign all right, title and interest in any condemnation
award or compensation to Landlord, except as hereinafter provided, and Tenant
shall and hereby does waive in favor of Landlord any interest therein, except
as
hereinafter provided. If the Taking is a Total Taking or if the Taking is a
Partial Taking which adversely affects Tenant’s ability to use the Premises,
then Tenant shall be entitled to claim from the condemning authorities such
compensation as may be separately awarded or recoverable by Tenant in its own
right on account of any and all damages to Tenant’s business by reason of the
condemnation and for or on account of any cost or a loss to which Tenant might
be put in relocating its business or in removing Tenant’s personalty, provided
however, that such claim by Tenant and award thereto does not diminish, reduce
or affect the Landlord’s condemnation award.
(c) In
the
event of a Partial Taking, Landlord shall, using due diligence, repair and
restore the balance of the Premises remaining after the condemnation as nearly
as possible to the condition as existed prior to the Partial Taking, provided
however, Landlord shall not be required to expend more on such restoration
work
than the condemnation award received and retained by Landlord for the Premises.
Following a Partial Taking, Rent shall be equitably adjusted in the event that
Tenant’s use of the Premises is adversely affected by such Partial
Taking.

47. Landlord’s
Remedies.
(a) In
addition to all other remedies available to Landlord at law or equity, if any
Tenant Default under this Lease shall have occurred and be continuing, Landlord
shall have all of the following rights and remedies:
(i) terminate
this Lease and all the estate of Tenant in the Premises by giving Tenant fifteen
(15) days’ written notice of termination, and, upon the date specified in such
notice, the Lease Term and the estate hereby granted shall expire and terminate
with the same force and effect as if the date set forth in such notice were
the
date herein before fixed for the expiration of the Lease Term;

or
without terminating this Lease, reenter and repossess the Premises, or any
part
thereof, and relet, or attempt to relet, any or all parts of the
Premises;

Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises and to recover (i) all Rent which
shall have accrued and remain unpaid through the date of termination; plus
(ii)
the amount by which the unpaid Rent for the balance of the Lease Term,
discounted to present value at six percent (6%), shall exceed the then fair
rental value of the Premises for the balance of the Lease Term, similarly
discounted, plus (iii) any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for
all
the damages caused by Tenant’s failure to perform its obligations under this
Lease (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ and accountants’
fees, costs of alterations of the Premises, interest costs and brokers’ fees
incurred upon any reletting of the Premises);
(iv) pay
or
perform for the account of Tenant any obligation or work to be paid or done
by
Tenant pursuant to the provisions of this Lease which Tenant has failed to
pay
or perform, and Landlord may reenter and repossess such part of the Premises
as
may be necessary to perform such work. Tenant shall pay to Landlord on demand
as
Additional Rent the amount reasonably paid or expended by Landlord to do the
work or otherwise cure the default by Tenant.
15
(b) In
the
event of any termination of this Lease or repossession of the Premises or any
part thereof under this Section by reason of an occurrence of a Tenant Default,
Tenant shall pay to Landlord the Annual Fixed Rent and all other sums required
to be paid by Tenant to and including the date of such termination or
repossession; and, thereafter, Tenant shall, until the end of what would have
been the expira-tion of the Lease Term in the absence of such termination or
repossession, and whether or not the Premises or any part thereof shall have
been relet, be liable to Landlord for, and shall pay to Landlord as agreed,
current damages, the Annual Fixed Rent and all other sums which would be payable
under this Lease by Tenant in the absence of such termination or repossession,
less the net proceeds, if any, of any reletting effected for the account of
Tenant pursuant to subsection 15(a)(ii), after
deducting from such proceeds all of Landlord’s reasonable expenses in connection
with such reletting (including, without limitation, all reasonable related
repossession costs, brokerage commissions, legal expenses, attorney’s fees,
employees’ expenses, alteration costs and expenses of preparation of such
reletting). Tenant shall pay such current damages on the days on which the
Annual Fixed Rent would have been payable under this Lease in the absence of
such termination or repossession, and Landlord shall be entitled to recover
the
same from Tenant on each such day. Following such termination of this Lease
or
repossession of the Premises, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts
to re-let the Premises (i.e., listing the Premises with a commercial real estate
broker) on commercially reasonable terms and to otherwise mitigate its
damages.
(c) Landlord
shall look only to Tenant for the satisfaction of Landlord’s remedies under this
Lease and no assets of Tenant’s affiliates, partners, officers, directors,
shareholders or principals, disclosed or undisclosed, shall be subject to levy,
execution or other enforcement procedure for the satisfaction of Landlord’s
remedies under this Lease.
48. Default
by Landlord.
(a) The
following shall be an event of default by Landlord (a “Landlord

same is due and payable; or
(ii) failure
by Landlord to perform or comply with any covenant or condition of this Lease
to
be performed or complied with by Landlord within thirty (30) days after written
notice thereof from Tenant and such additional time, if any, as is reasonably
necessary to cure such failure, provided Landlord commences to cure such failure
within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter prosecutes such cure to
completion with reasonable diligence.
16
(b) Upon
the
occurrence of a Landlord Default, Tenant may, at its election, perform the
obligation which Landlord has failed to perform for the account of Landlord.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in case of an emergency where there is an
immediate threat to the Premises or Tenant’s property therein as a result of
Landlord’s failure to perform any obligation under this Lease, Tenant shall have
the right to perform any obligation that Landlord has failed to perform, without
giving the notice and opportunity for cure required for such failure to
constitute a Landlord Default. Tenant shall, however, give such notice as may
be
reasonable under the circumstances (which notice may, for this purpose, consist
of telephonic notice).
(c) Landlord
shall pay Tenant upon written demand all reasonable costs incurred by Tenant
in
performing Landlord’s obligations under the preceding paragraph. If Landlord
fails to pay Tenant such amounts within five (5) days after demand therefor,
Landlord agrees to also pay a late charge of Fifty Dollars ($50.00) per day
and
interest to Tenant at the Overdue Interest Rate beginning on the first day
that
such payment was demanded until the date that Tenant receives payment.

rights and remedies granted to Tenant pursuant to this Section are in addition
to all other rights and remedies which Tenant may have by law or equity on
account of a failure by Landlord to perform its obligations under this
Lease.

of
Landlord’s covenants, undertakings or agreements under this Lease is made or
intended as personal covenants, undertakings or agreements by Landlord, or
by
any of Landlord’s shareholders, directors, officers, trustees or constituent
partners. All liability for damage or breach or nonperformance by Landlord
shall
be collectible only out of Landlord’s interest from time to time in the
Premises, and no personal liability is assumed by nor at any time may be
asserted against Landlord or any of Landlord’s shareholders, directors,
officers, trustees or constituent partners.
(f) Upon
the
sale or other conveyance or transfer of Landlord’s interest in the Premises, the
transferor shall be relieved of all covenants and obligations of Landlord
arising under this Lease from and after the closing of such sale, conveyance
or
transfer, provided the transferee assumes the obligations of Landlord under
this
Lease from and after the date of transfer.
49. Quiet
Possession.
Landlord covenants and agrees that, so long as Tenant keeps and performs each
and every covenant and condition contained herein to be kept and performed
by
Tenant, Tenant shall quietly possess and enjoy the Premises without hindrance
or
molestation by Landlord or any party claiming under or by Landlord.
50. Subordination
and Non-Disturbance.
(a) Landlord
hereby represents to Tenant that there are no mortgages, judgments or liens
encumbering the Premises except those set forth in Exhibit
“C”.
Simultaneously with the execution of this Lease, Landlord has delivered to
Tenant Non-Disturbance Agreements (as hereinafter defined), on a form prescribed
by Landlord’s lender and with substance reasonably acceptable to Tenant,
executed by the holders of all such mortgages, judgments and liens.
17
(b) This
Lease and the estate, interest and rights hereby created are subordinate to
any
mortgage or mortgages hereafter placed upon the Premises or any estate or
interest therein, and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations,
replacements and extensions of the same, and any substitutes therefor. Tenant
agrees that in the event any person, firm corporation or other entity (including
any mortgagee) acquires the right to possession of the Premises, Tenant shall,
if requested by such person, firm, corporation or other entity, attorn to and
become the tenant of such person, firm, corporation or other entity upon the
same terms and conditions as are set forth herein for the balance of the Lease
Term. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any mortgagee may, at any time, subordinate
its mortgage to this Lease, without Tenant’s consent, by notice in writing to
Tenant, and thereupon this Lease shall be deemed prior to such mortgage without
regard to their respective dates of execution and delivery, and in that event,
such mortgagee shall have the same rights with respect to this Lease as if
this
Lease had been executed prior to the execution and delivery of the
mortgage.
(c) The
foregoing provisions of this subsection are subject, however, to the express
condition that the holder of any mortgage to which this Lease is subordinate
shall deliver to Tenant an agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable
to Tenant (a “Nondisturbance Agreement”) which shall provide that if (and for as
long as) no Tenant Default under this Lease has occurred and is continuing,
then
(i) Tenant shall not be made a party to the foreclosure of any mortgage, or
any
action or proceeding by any mortgagee to recover possession of the Building,
(ii) Tenant’s possession shall not be disturbed, and (iii) this Lease shall not
be canceled or terminated and shall continue in full force and effect upon
such
foreclosure or recovery of possession upon all the terms, covenants, conditions
and agreements set forth in this Lease.
(d) Although
the subordination and attornment provisions of this subsection are automatic
subject to the foregoing condition, if requested by the mortgagee, such
Nondisturbance Agreement shall also include the subordination and attornment
provisions set forth above and shall be executed by Tenant.
51. Inspection.
Subject
to Tenant's reasonable security requirements, Landlord shall have the right
upon
reasonable notice and at reasonable times during business hours to inspect
all
parts of the Premises and during the last four (4) months of the Lease Term
to
show the interior and exterior of the Premises to prospective tenants. Landlord
shall not in any way interfere with or disrupt the operation of Tenant’s
business in the exercise by Landlord of its rights under this Section and shall,
at all times, observe Tenant's reasonable security requirements.
52. Surrender.
At the
expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term, Tenant shall surrender
and
deliver possession of the Premises in the same condition it is as of the
Commencement Date, subject only to reasonable wear and tear, damage by fire
or
other casualty (including the elements) that Tenant is not obligated to restore
pursuant to Section 9 above, and alterations and additions made by Tenant during
the Lease Term that Landlord elects not to have removed pursuant to Section
11
above.
In
addition, Tenant shall decontaminate, repair, or clean-up the laboratories
at
the Premises to remove any contamination from the laboratories resulting from
Tenant's operations.
18
53. Signs.
Tenant
shall have the right to place signs upon the exterior of the Premises
identifying Tenant, provided such signs comply with the local ordinances and
regulations and are of a reasonable size. Upon the expiration of the Lease
Term,
Tenant shall remove all signage and shall restore and repair any damage caused
by the installation or removal of such signs.
54. Notices.
All
notices to be given to either party hereunder shall be in writing and shall
