granted such rights by Landlord in accordance with the express provisions of
this Lease (subject to the understanding that Tenant hereby approves the grant
by Landlord, pursuant to a reciprocal easement agreement to be entered into
after the date of this Lease, to the owner of the property adjacent to the
Parking Area (as defined herein) to use one hundred (100) parking spaces in the
Parking Area in that portion of the Parking Area identified as “REA Parking
Spaces” on Exhibit “F” which is annexed hereto), to use the “Common Areas” of
the Building and Property. Landlord acknowledges that it shall be required to
obtain Tenant’s prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed) if it desires to grant the right to use more than the
aforementioned one hundred (100) parking spaces to the neighboring owner in

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

connection with such owner’s development of the adjacent property. As used
herein, “Common Areas” shall mean any areas or facilities made available from
time to time for the general use of all tenants in the Building, including any
non-reserved parking areas, driveways, sidewalks, hallways, restrooms, and other
similar public areas and common access ways of the Building. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in granting rights to third-parties to use the Common Areas as
provided for herein, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts not to
materially interfere with Tenant’s use and enjoyment of the Demised Premises or
with Tenant’s rights to use the Parking Area in accordance with Section 37
herein. Landlord shall maintain the Common Areas and the Property in a first
class manner. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is further understood and agreed
that Tenant shall have the exclusive use of its main entrance and lobby area on
the ground floor of the Building (as such area is identified on Exhibit “A-3”)
and that, inter alia, Landlord shall have no rights to grant any use of such
main entrance and lobby area to any third parties; provided, however, that,
notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this sentence, it is agreed that
such main entrance and lobby area may be used by other tenants of first floor of
the Building as an emergency secondary means of pedestrian egress from such
tenants’ premises and may further be used to provide a primary means of
pedestrian access and egress to the premises of any first floor tenant which
shall otherwise not be able to obtain reasonable pedestrian access and egress to
its premises to or from the exterior of the Building.

 

3.             TENANT IMPROVEMENTS.

 

(a)           Landlord shall construct, or cause to be constructed, on a
“turnkey” basis, at Landlord’s sole cost and expense (but subject, however, to
Tenant’s obligation to pay for those certain “Tenant Extra Cost Items” as are
specified in the “Tenant’s Plans” (as such term is hereinafter defined), in a
good and workmanlike manner, certain improvements to the Demised Premises as
provided for in a Tenant Work Letter, to be prepared by IEI Group, Ltd., and the
MPE/FP Schematic Design, to be prepared by Dimitri J. Ververelli, Inc.
(hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Tenant’s Plans”), which shall be
finalized and approved in writing by Landlord and Tenant on or before January 6,
2006 and incorporated by reference herein and made a part hereof as Exhibit “B”.
The work described in the Tenant’s Plans is hereinafter referred to as the
“Tenant Improvements”. In the event Tenant’s Plans are not finalized and
approved in writing by Landlord and Tenant by the end of the business day on
January 6, 2006, either party shall have the right to terminate this Lease on or
before the end of business day on January 11, 2006 by giving written notice of
such termination to the other party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, the parties hereto acknowledge that Landlord’s termination
notice pursuant to this Section 3(a) may be sent via facsimile (and in the event
Landlord sends such termination notice, such facsimile shall be sent to both Jim
Berwick (609-896-3418) and Lou Fantin (609-844-1595)). In the event of such
termination by Landlord or Tenant, this Lease shall become null and void and
thereafter neither party shall have any further rights, obligations or
liabilities hereunder. If said Lease is not terminated as set forth above,
Tenant’s Plans are deemed approved and Landlord shall construct Tenant
Improvements in accordance with such Tenant’s Plans. Except for the Tenant
Improvements, Landlord shall have no obligation to perform any improvements to
the Demised Premises to

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

prepare the same for Tenant’s occupancy,

 

(b)           All work described in the Tenant’s Plans shall be furnished,
installed and performed by Landlord, utilizing a general contractor selected by
Landlord, for the Total TI Costs (as hereinafter defined), which Total TI Costs
shall be paid by Landlord (subject to the Tenant’s obligation to pay for the
Tenant Extra Cost Items) as provided herein. The “Total TI Costs” shall include
all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with the completion of
the Tenant Improvements, including, without limitation: (i) Landlord’s
out-of-pocket contract or purchase price(s) for materials, components, labor and
services, plus (ii) Landlord’s architects’ and engineers’ fees and costs, plus
(iii) fees for all required permits and governmental approvals plus (iv) an
amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the foregoing items as Landlord’s
construction management fee. The aggregate dollar amount which has been budgeted
for the Total TI Costs (inclusive of the Tenant Extra Cost Items) shall be set
forth in Tenant’s Plans as the “Budgeted Total TI Costs”; and shall be approved
in writing by Landlord and Tenant on or before January 6, 2006 and shall be
incorporated by reference herein and made a part hereof; and the aggregate
dollar amount included in Budgeted Total TI Costs which has been budgeted for
the Tenant Extra Cost Items shall be set forth in Tenant’s Plans as the
“Budgeted Tenant Extra Cost Item Costs.” In addition, Tenant shall have the
right, at its sole cost and expense, to construct and/or install the items to be
set forth in an “Exhibit “B-1””, which shall be approved by Landlord and Tenant
on or before January 6, 2006 and incorporated by reference herein and made a
part hereof (hereinafter “Tenant Items”). In the event Tenant Items, the
Budgeted Total TI Costs, and/or Budgeted Tenant Extra Cost Item Costs are not
finalized and approved in writing by Landlord and Tenant by the end of the
business day on January 6, 2006, either party shall have the right to terminate
this Lease on or before the end of business day on January 11, 2006 by giving
written notice of such termination to the other party. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained herein, the parties hereto acknowledge that Landlord’s
termination notice pursuant to this Section 3(b) may be sent via facsimile (and
in the event Landlord sends such termination notice, such facsimile shall be
sent to both Jim Berwick (609-896-3418) and Lou Fantin (609-844-1595)). In the
event of such termination by Landlord or Tenant, this Lease shall become null
and void and thereafter neither party shall have any further rights, obligations
or liabilities hereunder. If said Lease is not terminated as set forth above,
Tenant Items, the Budgeted Total TI Costs proposed in Tenant’s Plans, and the
Budgeted Tenant Extra Cost Item Costs proposed in Tenant’s Plans are deemed
approved.

 

(c)           In constructing the Tenant Improvements, Landlord reserves the
right to: (i) make substitutions of material of equivalent grade and quality
when and if any specified material shall not be readily and reasonably
available, and (ii) make changes necessitated by conditions met during the
course of construction; provided, however, that Tenant’s approval of any
substantial change shall first be obtained, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed. Tenant shall not be permitted to request any
changes to the Tenant’s Plans (a “Tenant Change Order”) without the prior
written approval of Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed by Landlord so long as the Tenant Change Order does not
materially delay Substantial Completion (as hereinafter defined). Any increase
in cost

 

6

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

attributable to or resulting from such Tenant Change Order (including, without
limitation, additional architect’s fees and additional costs of constructing the
Tenant Improvements, as well as Landlord’s additional administrative costs and
engineering review fees) shall be added to the Total TI Costs (subject, however,
to the understanding that in determining any such increase the same shall be
determined on a net basis taking into account any cost savings realized by the
elimination of any originally-included items of Tenant Improvements which may be
reflected in connection with such Tenant Change Order). As a condition to
Landlord’s approval of any Tenant Change Order which shall be anticipated to
cause the cost of the Tenant Improvements to exceed the Budgeted Total TI Costs
amount described in subsection (b) above, Landlord may require that, prior to
Landlord’s commencement of any work related to such Tenant Change Order, Tenant
shall agree in writing to pay to Landlord one hundred percent (100%) of the
amount over such Budgeted Total TI Costs amount described in
subsection (b) above as estimated by Landlord with respect to such Tenant Change
Order, which amount shall be paid in accordance with subsection (f) herein.

 

(d)           Upon Substantial Completion of the Tenant Improvements, Landlord
shall notify Tenant, and Tenant shall inspect the Demised Premises with Landlord
within five (5) business days after Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s notice. Upon
completion of the inspection, it shall be presumed that all work theretofore
performed by or on behalf of Landlord was satisfactorily performed in accordance
with, and meeting the requirements of this Lease, excepting, however:
(i) required work not actually completed by Landlord or which is otherwise
deficient, and which is identified at the time of the inspection on a
“punchlist” prepared by the construction representatives of Landlord and Tenant,
or (ii) latent defects in such work which could not reasonably have been
discovered at the time of the inspection provided that Tenant notifies Landlord
in writing of such defects within one (1) year after the Commencement Date.
Landlord shall complete the items of incomplete or deficient work set forth on
such “punchlist” as hereinbefore described within forty-five (45) days, except
for Long Lead Items as set forth herein.

 

(e)           Landlord’s work in constructing the Tenant Improvements shall be
deemed to be “Substantially Completed” when: (i) the work to be performed by
Landlord shown on the Tenant’s Plans has been completed except for minor or
insubstantial details of construction, mechanical adjustments, or finishing
touches like plastering or painting, which items shall not materially and
adversely affect Tenant’s conduct of its ordinary business activities in the
Demised Premises, and (ii) Tenant may lawfully occupy the Demised Premises for
its ordinary business activities (except to the extent that such lawful
occupancy is conditioned on remaining installations, work or improvements to be
performed by Tenant). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that
Substantial Completion of the Tenant Improvements is delayed by reason of the
acts or omissions of Tenant in respect of the reasons set forth in subparagraphs
(i) through (iv) below (a “Tenant Delay”), then Tenant’s obligation to pay Rent
hereunder shall not be affected or deferred on account of such delay and, for
purposes of establishing the date of Substantial Completion hereunder, the date
of Substantial Completion shall be deemed to occur on the date upon which the
same would otherwise have occurred absent the Tenant Delay (taking into account
any delays in Substantial

 

7

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Completion that are not attributable to Tenant Delay) - it being understood and
agreed, however, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, no Tenant Delay shall be deemed to have occurred hereunder unless and
until Landlord shall have given written notice to Tenant of any such delay
caused by the acts or omissions of Tenant and Tenant shall have failed to remedy
the same within three (3) business days after its receipt of such notice:

 

(i)            Tenant’s failure to promptly make changes in the Tenant’s Plans
required by any applicable governmental authority in connection with the
approval thereof, or as required during construction due to as-built conditions;
or

 

(ii)           Tenant Change Order(s); or

 

(iii)         delays, not caused by Landlord, in furnishing special items which
are not readily available (“Long Lead Items”) or procuring specialized labor
required for installation of Long Lead Items, provided that Tenant shall be
notified of Landlord’s good faith estimate of the anticipated delay promptly
after discovery thereof by Landlord, and shall be given an opportunity to
specify alternative materials or requirements which are readily available; or

 

(iv)          the performance of any work or activity in the Demised Premises or
Building by Tenant or any of its employees, agents or contractors (including,
without limitation, the installation of Tenant’s furniture, cabling or
equipment). Without limiting the foregoing, Tenant specifically acknowledges
that the municipality’s issuance of a certificate of occupancy (or similar
certificate) may be conditioned upon Tenant’s installation of its furniture,
cabling or equipment or the completion of any other work or activity in the
Demised Premises by Tenant or any of its employees, agents or contractors. In
such event, if the municipal authority will not issue a certificate of occupancy
(or similar certificate) or schedule an inspection of the Demised Premises due
to Tenant’s failure to install such furniture, cabling or equipment or failure
to complete such other work or activity, then the same shall constitute a Tenant
Delay hereunder.

 

(f)            Following payment of the final invoice, Landlord shall furnish
Tenant with a written statement setting forth the actual amount paid by Landlord
in respect of the Total TI Costs; whereupon the information pertaining to the
determination of such amount shall be subject to examination by Tenant, and
Tenant shall have reasonable access to Landlord’s cost records relative thereto.
In the event that such actual amount of the Total TI Costs is less than the
Budgeted Total TI Costs amount described in subsection (b) above, Landlord shall
be entitled to the benefit of the savings and Tenant shall not be entitled to
any refund or credit against the Rent payable hereunder. In the event that, due
to any Tenant Change Order(s) in respect of which Tenant shall have agreed in
writing to pay to Landlord the associated increase in the cost of the Tenant
Improvements in accordance with the provisions of subparagraph (c) above, such
actual amount of the Total TI Costs is greater than the Budgeted Total TI Costs
amount described in subsection (b) above, Tenant shall remit to Landlord, within
thirty (30) days after Landlord shall have furnished the statement of the actual
amount

 

8

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

paid by Landlord in respect of the Total TI Costs as hereinbefore provided,
payment in the amount of such excess in the actual amount of such Total TI Costs
so thereby caused. Tenant shall also remit to Landlord, within thirty (30) days
after Landlord shall have furnished the statement of the actual amount paid by
Landlord in respect of the Total TI Costs as hereinbefore provided, payment in
an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the Budgeted Tenant Extra Cost Item Costs
or (ii) the actual amount paid by Landlord in respect of the Tenant Extra Cost
Items.

 

4.             DELAY IN POSSESSION. Landlord currently anticipates that the
Delivery Date will occur on or before the Estimated Delivery Date.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Delivery Date does not
occur by the date which is thirty (30) days after the Estimated Delivery Date
(other than on account of a Tenant Delay), then Tenant shall be entitled, as its
sole and exclusive remedy, to a rent credit equal to two (2) days Annual Base
Rent for each day that the Delivery Date is delayed beyond such thirtieth (30th)
day after the Estimated Delivery Date, which rent credit shall be applied
against the payment(s) of Annual Base Rent first coming due after the expiration
of the Free Rent Period. (By way of example, if the Delivery Date were not to
occur until forty (40) days after the Estimated Delivery Date (other than by
reason of a Tenant Delay as hereinbefore provided), then Tenant would be
entitled to an aggregate credit equal of twenty (20) days Annual Base Rent; and,
accordingly, would not be required to pay Annual Base Rent in respect of the
first twenty (20) days following the expiration of the Free Rent Period.)

 

5.             RENT.

 

(a)           During the Term from and after the expiration of the Free Rent
Period (and taking into account any credits due in respect thereof pursuant to
Section 4 above), Tenant shall pay to Landlord the Annual Base Rent in the
amounts set forth in Section 1(f) (Fundamental Lease Provisions) above. Such
Annual Base Rent shall be payable in equal monthly installments in advance on
the first day of each calendar month.

 

(b)           The term “Rent” as used in this Lease shall mean the Annual Base
Rent, Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses (as hereinafter defined), payments
for any utilities which are to be made by Tenant to Landlord in accordance with
the express provisions of this Lease and all other additional rent or other sums
payable by Tenant to Landlord under any other express provision of this Lease.
All Rent other than the Annual Base Rent is referred to herein as “Additional
Rent”.

 

(c)           The first installment of Annual Base Rent shall be payable on the
date (the “Rent Commencement Date”) next following the expiration of the Free
Rent Period (subject, however, to the understanding that such date may be
extended in order to take into account any credits due in respect thereof
pursuant to Section 4 above). If the Rent Commencement Date shall be a day other
than the first day of a calendar month, Annual Base Rent from such day until the
first day of the following calendar month shall be prorated on a per diem basis
for each day of such partial month.

 

9

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

(d)           All Rent due to Landlord hereunder shall be payable to Landlord
c/o Landlord’s Property Manager at the Rent Payment Address specified in
Section 1(r) (Fundamental Lease Provisions), or to such other party or at such
other address as Landlord may designate, from time to time, by written notice to
Tenant given not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the date upon which such
change shall become effective, without demand (except to the extent demand or
notice shall be expressly provided for herein) and without deduction or set-off
(except to the extent that any of the same shall be provided under this Lease).

 

(e)           If Landlord, at any time or times, shall accept said Rent due to
it hereunder after the same shall become due and payable, such acceptance shall
not excuse delay upon subsequent occasions, or constitute or be construed as, a
waiver of any of Landlord’s rights hereunder.

 

6.             INTENTIONALLY DELETED.

 

7.             PAYMENT OF INCREASES IN OPERATING EXPENSES.

 

(a)           For and with respect to each calendar year of the Term commencing
with the 2007 calendar year (but, subject to the provision of
Section 7(c)(vi) herein), Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, an
amount (“Tenant’s Share of Increases in Operating Expenses”) equal to the
product obtained by multiplying Tenant’s Fraction by the amount by which
Operating Expenses (as hereinafter defined) for such calendar year exceed the
Operating Expenses for the Base Year (which Base Year amount shall be grossed up
in similar manner to the example set forth in Exhibit “N” to cover the full 2006
calendar year and in no event shall be less than $4.00 per rentable square foot
for the purpose of calculating Tenant’s required payment of Tenant’s Share of
Increases in Operating Expenses (it being understood, however, that such
limitation imposed hereunder shall be for sole purpose of calculating Tenant’s
required payment of Tenant’s Share of Increases in Operating Expenses and in no
event shall the same be deemed to limit the amounts which Landlord shall be
required to expend in Operating Expenses in order to fulfill its obligations to
manage, repair, maintain and insure the Building and Property in accordance with
the provisions of this Lease)) (appropriately prorated for any partial calendar
year at the end of the Term).

 

(b)           As used herein, the following terms shall have the meanings set
forth below:

 

(i)            “Operating Expenses” shall mean, except as expressly limited by
subparagraph (ii) below, the actual, necessary and reasonable out of pocket
expenses incurred by or on behalf of Landlord in respect of the operation and

costs, including wages, salaries and benefits and taxes imposed upon employers
with respect to persons employed by Landlord or Landlord’s managing agent for
rendering service in the operation, cleaning, maintenance, repair and
replacement of the Property, whether paid directly by Landlord or reimbursed to

Property; (7) Taxes (as hereinafter defined) and costs of obtaining any

Property; and (9) all other costs and expenses incurred by or on behalf of
Landlord in connection with the repair, replacement, operation, maintenance,
securing, insuring and policing of the Building and Property.

 

(ii)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, it is
understood and agreed that the term “Operating Expenses” shall not include:
(1) the cost of any item which, by standard accounting practice, should be
capitalized, except that in lieu of capital expenses for repairs, replacements
or enhancements to the Building or Property (including without limitation any
upgrades for the purpose of reducing Operating Expenses or for the purpose of
complying with applicable laws, codes and regulations), there shall be included
within Operating Expenses for each calendar year, from and after the expenditure
in question, the annual amortization of such expenditure over the useful life of
the item(s) in question, as reasonably determined by Landlord and including an
interest factor equal to the Prime Rate of interest (the “Prime Rate”) as
published from time to time in The Wall Street Journal plus two percent (2%);
(2) any charge for depreciation, interest on encumbrances or ground rents paid
or incurred by Landlord; (3) commissions; (4) costs actually reimbursed by
insurance proceeds; (5) costs of electricity, gas and any other utilities
provided to tenant spaces (as opposed to Common Areas) in the Building to the

related to the management, operation, repair or maintenance of the Building or
the Property; (9) Landlord’s general overhead expenses not related to the
Building; (10) legal fees, accountants’ fees and other expenses incurred in
connection with disputes with tenants or other occupants of the Building or
associated with the enforcement of any leases or defense of Landlord’s title to
or interest in the Building or any part thereof; (11) costs, including permit,
license and inspection fees, incurred in renovating or otherwise improving,
decorating, painting or altering space for other tenants or other occupants or

or any other tenant of the Building of the terms and conditions of any lease;
(13) the costs of any service provided to other tenant(s) of the Building to the
extent Landlord separately charges therefor, and the cost of any service
provided to other tenant(s) of the Building but not to Tenant; (14) charitable

11

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

hereinafter defined) from the Building, other than periodic and routine testing;
(16) interest, penalties or other costs arising out of Landlord’s failure to
make timely payments of its obligations; (17) costs associated with
revenue-generating public parking areas of the Building where fees are charged
for use of parking areas by the public and not by tenants of the Building; (18)
costs incurred in advertising and marketing or leasing promotional activities

including legal fees; and (20) costs incurred in connection with making changes

but not limited to ADA compliance, with laws which shall be in effect as of the
Commencement Date (provided, however, repairs to such changes, or to normal wear
and tear, and repair made necessary by a change in the law after the
Commencement Date shall be included in Operating Expenses).

 

(iii)        “Taxes” shall mean all real estate taxes and assessments, general
and special, ordinary or extraordinary, foreseen or unforeseen, imposed upon the
Property or with respect to the ownership thereof. If, due to a future change in
the method of taxation, any franchise, income, profit or other tax, however
designated, shall be levied or imposed in substitution in whole or in part for
(or in lieu of) any tax which would otherwise be included within the term
“Taxes” as defined herein, then the same shall be included in the term “Taxes.”
If a special improvement shall hereafter be made for the sole benefit of Tenant
which results in an increase in the taxable value of the Building (as opposed to
general tenant improvements consistent with normal office use, but subject to
the understanding that none of the improvements comprising the initial Tenant
Improvements under this Lease shall be deemed special improvements for the
purposes of this sentence), then any increase in Taxes attributable to such
special improvement shall be the responsibility of Tenant. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary set forth herein, “Taxes” shall also include any and
all payments, however designated, levied or imposed in substitution in whole or
in part, or in lieu of, any tax which would otherwise be included within the
term “Taxes” as defined herein. The foregoing payments shall include, but not be
limited to, any payments made by any master lessor or master lessee of the
Property and reimbursed directly or indirectly by Landlord, whether
characterized as base rent, additional rent or otherwise. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall Taxes include
(i) any gift, franchise, corporate transfer, succession, transfer, capital levy,
gross receipts, corporation, stamp or payroll tax imposed upon Landlord,
(ii) penalties imposed upon Landlord by reason of Landlord’s delinquent payment
of any taxes or impositions, unless same are assessed by reason of Tenant’s
failure to timely pay Tenant’s Share of Increases in Operating Expenses,
(iii) any tax upon the sale, transfer and/or assignment of the title or estate
of Landlord or (iv) any assessments for improvements to the Building or
assessments for public streets, public sidewalks, sewers, water or other
installations made at governmental expense before or in connection with the
initial construction and development of the Building or any part thereof.
Landlord shall cause the Property and Building to be maintained entirely within
the two (2) current tax parcels or lots (which two (2) parcels or lots comprise
only the Property and not any adjacent property thereto), and Landlord shall pay
and discharge before delinquency all taxes which become due during the Term,
except if Tenant fails

 

12

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

to timely pay same. Taxes applicable to any fiscal tax year shall only include
those amounts actually paid by Landlord to the appropriate governmental
authorities in respect of the Property and Building for such fiscal tax year,
with the benefit of any abatements, credits, rebates, refunds and the like which
may be applicable to Landlord’s payment obligations to the appropriate taxing
authorities to be applied before such “taxes” shall be determined for the
purpose of calculating Tenant’s Share of Increases in Operating Expenses
hereunder. If, by law, any taxes may, at the option of the taxpayer, be paid in
installments (whether or not interest shall accrue on the unpaid balance
thereof), Landlord shall exercise such option to pay the same in installments
and shall pay the installments as the same respectively become due and before
any fine, penalty, interest or cost may be added for non payment thereof. Only
installments becoming due during or applicable to the Term from and after
January 1, 2007 shall be included in Taxes for computation of Tenant’s Share of
increases in Operating Expenses, and any installments for a real estate fiscal
tax year, a part of which is included within the Term and a part of which is
applicable to a period of time before the Commencement Date or after the
Expiration Date (or sooner date of expiration or termination), shall be
apportioned on the basis of the number of days in the real estate fiscal tax
year which are included in the Term for the purpose of computing Tenant’s Share
of Increases in Operating Expenses. Landlord shall use its reasonable judgment
in determining whether or not to contest or attempt to obtain a reduction in
Taxes; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, Landlord shall, upon the receipt of written notice from
Tenant, have an obligation to contest, object to or litigate the levying or
imposition of any Taxes and assessments, at no out of pocket cost to Landlord,
and may thereafter settle, compromise, consent to, waive or otherwise reasonably
determine to abandon any contest with respect to the amount of any Taxes with
the prior written consent of Tenant, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall not be obligated to contest or
object to the imposition of any Taxes if Landlord has previously settled the
amount of Taxes to be imposed upon the Property, thereby preventing such appeal.
If Landlord shall receive a refund of Taxes for any year after the Base Year,
Tenant shall be entitled to its share of the portion of the refund applicable to
an increase in said Taxes, after deducting from such refund that portion of the
reasonable, actual and necessary out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including
experts’ and attorneys’ fees) incurred by Landlord in obtaining such refund.

 

(c)           In determining Operating Expenses for any year, the following
adjustments shall be made:

 

(i)            if less than ninety-five percent (95%) of the Building RSF shall
have been occupied by tenants at any time during such year, Operating Expenses
shall be deemed for such year to be an amount equal to the like expenses which
Landlord reasonably determines would normally be incurred had such occupancy
been ninety-five percent (95%) throughout such year (subject, however, to the
understanding that in no event shall such determination by Landlord result in
Tenant’s Share of Increases in Operating Expenses exceeding the actual cost to
Landlord of providing the services which were included in Operating Expenses for
the period in question), and in such event Landlord shall furnish to Tenant such
documentation as Tenant shall

 

13

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

request in order to confirm that such adjustment has been made in such a manner
so as to equitably reflect what such Operating Expenses would have been had the
Building had such 95% occupancy level;

 

(ii)           if any tenant of the Building supplies itself with a service at
any time during such year that Landlord would ordinarily supply without
separately charging therefor, then Operating Expenses shall be deemed to include
the cost that Landlord would have incurred had Landlord supplied such service to
such tenant (subject, however, to the understanding that in no event shall such
determination by Landlord result in Tenant’s Share of Increases in Operating
Expenses exceeding the actual cost to Landlord of providing the services which
were included in Operating Expenses for the period in question);

 

(iii)         intentionally deleted;

 

(iv)          if any Operating Expenses incurred for the Building and/or the
Property consist of shared costs and expenses with one or more other buildings
or properties, whether pursuant to a reciprocal easement agreement, cost sharing
agreement, common area agreement, or otherwise, the shared costs and expenses
shall be equitably allocated by Landlord between the Building and/or the
Property (as applicable) and such other buildings or properties;

 

(v)            in the event the actual Operating Expenses for the Base Year
(appropriately adjusted for a full calendar year) are ultimately determined to
be less than $4.00 per rentable square foot, then, at Tenant’s option, within
fifteen (15) days after the date of such determination, either Landlord shall
reimburse Tenant for an amount equal to the difference between $4.00 per
rentable square foot and the actual Operating Expenses for the Base Year or
permit Tenant to off-set such amount from the next installments(s) of Annual
Base Rent coming payable hereunder (provided, however, that, notwithstanding any
such circumstance in which actual Operating Expenses for the Base Year are
ultimately determined to be less than $4.00 per rentable square foot, the figure
of $4.00 per rentable square foot shall continue to be utilized for the
calculation of Tenant’s Share of Increases in Operating Expenses as provided in
Section 7(a) above);

 

(vi)          in no event shall Tenant be responsible for any payment to
Landlord in respect of Operating Expenses or any Tenant’s Share of Increases in
Operating Expenses during the first (1st) Lease Year;

 

(vii)         for the calendar year 2007, the Operating Expenses shall not
exceed five percent (5%) over the Operating Expenses for the Base Year for the
purpose of calculating Tenant’s required payment of Tenant’s Share of Increases
in Operating Expenses (it being understood, however, that such limitation
imposed hereunder shall be for sole purpose of calculating Tenant’s required
payment of Tenant’s Share of Increases in Operating Expenses and in no event
shall the same be deemed to limit the amounts which Landlord shall be required
to expend in Operating Expenses in order to fulfill its obligations to manage,
repair, maintain and insure the

 

14

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Building and Property in accordance with the provisions of this Lease); and

 

(viii)        commencing on January 1, 2008 and continuing for the balance of
the Term, for the purpose of calculating Tenant’s required payment of Tenant’s
Share of Increases in Operating Expenses, Controllable Operating Expenses
(hereinafter defined) shall not increase, in the aggregate and on a cumulative
basis, by more than five percent (5%) per annum over the amount of Controllable
Operating Expenses payable by Tenant hereunder in respect of the immediately
preceding calendar year (it being understood, however, that such limitation
imposed hereunder shall be for sole purpose of calculating Tenant’s required
payment of Tenant’s Share of Increases in Operating Expenses and in no event
shall the same be deemed to limit the amounts which Landlord shall be required
to expend in Controllable Operating Expenses in order to fulfill its obligations
to manage, repair, maintain and insure the Building and Property in accordance
with the provisions of this Lease). (By way of example, (i) if Controllable
Operating Expenses for and in respect of the 2007 calendar year were to have
been $2.50 per rentable square foot, then, for the purpose of calculating
Tenant’s required payment of Tenant’s Share of Increases in Operating Expenses
for the 2008 calendar year, Controllable Operating Expenses could not exceed
$2.625 per rentable square foot; while (ii) if Tenant’s payments (as so limited
pursuant to the provisions of clause “i” hereof, notwithstanding that actual
Controllable Operating Expenses for the 2008 calendar year had been higher) in
respect of Controllable Operating Expenses for and in respect of the 2008
calendar year were to have been $2.625 per rentable square foot, then, for the
purpose of calculating Tenant’s required payment of Tenant’s Share of Increases
in Operating Expenses for the 2009 calendar year, Controllable Operating
Expenses could not exceed $2.75625 per rentable square foot.) As used herein,
“Controllable Operating Expenses” shall mean all Operating Expenses other than
Taxes, insurance, snow removal costs and utility rate charges. The foregoing cap
shall apply solely with respect to Controllable Operating Expenses and shall not
apply with respect to any other Operating Expenses; and

 

(ix)          in the event as a result of the first (and only the first)
reassessment of Taxes after the Commencement Date pertaining to the completion
of construction of the Tenant Improvements, Taxes shall increase to an amount
over $1.00 per rentable square foot per annum, then the $0.25 per rentable
square foot per annum over $1.00 per rentable square foot per annum (to the
extent Taxes equal such amount) shall be excluded from Operating Expenses.

 

(d)           Landlord shall furnish to Tenant at the commencement of the Term,
or as soon thereafter as practicable, a statement of Landlord’s good faith
estimate of Operating Expenses for the Base Year (which statement shall
delineate which of the same shall constitute Controllable Operating Expenses).
Not later than March 31, 2007, Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a statement
prepared by Landlord or its accountants and certified as correct by Landlord of
the actual Operating Expenses (including, without limitation, Controllable
Operating Expenses) actually incurred for and in respect of the Base Year,
together with a statement of Landlord’s good faith estimate of Operating
Expenses for the 2007 calendar year and the amount of Tenant’s Share of
Increases in Operating Expenses which shall be payable for the 2007 calendar
year. Commencing

 

15

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

with the 2008 calendar year and continuing for each subsequent calendar year
during the Term, Landlord shall, not later than March 31 of each such calendar
year, furnish to Tenant a statement (an “Expense Statement”) prepared by
Landlord or its accountants and certified as correct by Landlord of the actual
Operating Expenses (including, without limitation, Controllable Operating
Expenses) actually incurred for and in respect of the immediately preceding
calendar year, together with a statement of Landlord’s good faith estimate of
Operating Expenses for the then-current calendar year and the amount of Tenant’s
Share of Increases in Operating Expenses which shall be payable for such
then-current calendar year (the “Estimated Share”). If Landlord from time to
time determines that Landlord’s good faith estimate is incorrect due to the
subsequent occurrence of unusual or unforeseen circumstances, Landlord shall
have the right to provide Tenant with a revised statement of Landlord’s good
faith estimate of Operating Expenses for the then-current year, in which event
Tenant’s Estimated Share shall be adjusted accordingly; provided, however, that,
notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Landlord shall seek to revise
such estimate during any calendar year Landlord shall furnish Tenant with a
written statement showing in reasonable detail the nature and amount of such
unusual and unforeseen expenses (e.g., snow expenses) that shall have given rise
to such revision.

 

(e)           Within thirty (30) days after Tenant receives an Expense
Statement, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the difference, if positive, between the
Tenant’s Share of Increases in Operating Expenses for such previous year and the
actual payments made by Tenant on account of Tenant’s Share of Increases in
Operating Expenses during such calendar year; or if the actual payments exceed
Tenant’s Share of Increases in Operating Expenses for such previous year, Tenant
shall receive a credit against the next payment(s) of Rent falling due (if the
Lease shall have expired, Landlord shall refund such overpayment together with
the submission of such Expense Statement to Tenant, which obligation shall
survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease).

 

(f)            When requested by Tenant, Landlord will furnish to Tenant such
additional information as may be reasonably necessary for the verification of
any such Expense Statement theretofore submitted by Landlord (which information
shall include, without limitation, true copies of Landlord’s bills for all
expenses incurred in respect of Operating Expenses during the calendar year in
question). Landlord shall maintain for a period of not less than three (3) years
after the expiration of each calendar year of the Term complete and accurate
books and records in respect of such Operating Expenses and shall permit the
pertinent records to be examined by Tenant or its independent accountants.
Unless Tenant, within one hundred eighty (180) days after any Expense Statement
is furnished, shall give notice to Landlord that Tenant disputes the amount due
in accordance with the foregoing provisions, specifying in detail the basis for
such dispute, each Expense Statement furnished to Tenant by Landlord under this
Section shall be conclusively binding upon Tenant as to the Operating Expenses
and Tenant’s Share of Increases in Operating Expenses in respect thereof due
from Tenant for the period represented thereby; provided, however, that,
notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall also have the right, upon the giving
of prior written notice to Landlord at any time within one (1) year after
receipt of any such Expense Statement, to examine

 

16

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

and audit such books and records maintained by Landlord in respect of such
Operating Expenses. In the event that Tenant timely disputes such Expense
Statement and the dispute is not amicably resolved within thirty (30) days after
Tenant’s notice of dispute, then either party may refer the dispute to an
independent certified public accounting firm mutually acceptable to Landlord and
Tenant, and the determination of such accounting firm shall be final, binding
and conclusive on Landlord and Tenant. Tenant and Landlord agree to equally
share the cost of such audit. In the event Landlord’s original determination of
the actual Operating Expenses was in error by less than two percent (2%), Tenant
will forfeit their right to audit Landlord’s books and records for a period of
two (2) years, unless there is a material irregularity in Landlord’s calculation
of Operating Expenses. If any dispute in connection with the amounts due in
accordance with this Section is settled in Tenant’s favor, Landlord shall,
within thirty (30) days after the notice of such determination, pay Tenant the
amount of Tenant’s overpayment of Tenant’s Share of Increases in Operating
Expenses. Any payment due from Tenant to Landlord on account of Tenant’s Share
of Increases in Operating Expenses not yet determined as of the Expiration Date
shall be made within thirty (30) days after submission to Tenant of the next
Expense Statement, which obligation shall survive the expiration or earlier
termination of this Lease. In connection with any dispute or any information
from Landlord’s records obtained by Tenant with respect thereto, Tenant
covenants that (x) it will hold the results of any investigation into Landlord’s
records in confidence (provided, however, that Tenant may discuss the results of
such investigation with its attorneys, accountants and other consultants and use
the information obtained in the investigation to the extent required in any
legal or other proceedings related thereto or as may be required by applicable
law); and (y) it will cause any consultants retained by it to adhere to a
similar covenant of confidentiality for the benefit of Landlord.

 

(g)           Beginning with the next installment of Annual Base Rent due after
delivery of the statement of Tenant’s Estimated Share, Tenant shall pay to
Landlord, on account of Tenant’s Share of Increases in Operating Expenses,
one-twelfth (1/12) of the Estimated Share for the current calendar year
multiplied by the number of full or partial calendar months elapsed during the
current calendar year up to and including the month payment is made (less any
amounts previously paid by Tenant on account of Tenant’s Share of Increases in
Operating Expenses for such period). On the first day of each succeeding month
up to the time Tenant shall receive a new statement of Tenant’s Estimated Share,
Tenant shall pay to Landlord, on account of Tenant’s Share of Increases in
Operating Expenses, one-twelfth (1/12) of the then current Estimated Share.

 

8.             UTILITIES FURNISHED TO DEMISED PREMISES.

 

(a)           Tenant shall pay for all utilities (including, without limitation,
gas and electricity and, to the extent separately billable, HVAC service) that
are furnished to or consumed within the Demised Premises, as such consumption
shall be measured by separate meters for such utilities which shall be installed
by Landlord as part of Tenant Improvements.

 

17

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

(b)           Tenant shall pay all utility bills within twenty (20) days after
receipt by Tenant, either from Landlord or the billing authority.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, it is understood and
agreed that with respect to any such utility bills payable by Tenant to Landlord
hereunder, the charges thereon shall be based upon the actual amounts payable by
Landlord to the applicable utility provider in respect thereof without the
imposition of any markup or surcharge by Landlord. Landlord shall have the
right, to be exercised by written notice to Tenant and to the extent that the
same may be lawfully done, to direct Tenant to contract directly with the
utility provider supplying electricity and/or gas to the Building, in which
event Tenant shall pay all charges therefor directly to the utility provider.
Landlord shall at all times have the exclusive right to select the provider or
providers of the utility service to the Demised Premises and the Property, and
Landlord shall have the right of access to the Demised Premises from time to
time to install or remove utility facilities, provided, however, in the event
Tenant occupies at least 95% of the Building, Tenant shall have the right to
select providers of utilities, in its sole discretion, so long as (i) such
selection by Tenant shall not result in increases in the cost to any other
tenant in the Building of obtaining such utilities over the cost that such other
tenant had been paying from its then-existing provider, (ii) such provider so
selected by Tenant shall be capable of providing such utilities in a manner
reasonably consistent with that of the then-existing provider and (iii) any
costs incurred in changing over from the then-existing provider to the new
provider so selected by Tenant shall be borne by Tenant.

 

9.             SERVICES.

 

(a)           Landlord shall provide or cause to be provided the following
services throughout the Term (the cost of which services shall be subject to
reimbursement by Tenant as provided in Sections 7 and 8 above – it being
understood, however, that, except as shall be otherwise expressly provided
hereinafter in this Section, such costs shall be included in Operating Expenses
and such reimbursement shall be only in the nature of Tenant’s obligation to
reimburse Landlord for Tenant’s Share of Increases in Operating Expenses as
provided in said Sections 7 and 8):

 

(i)            Provide water for drinking, lavatory and toilet purposes on the
floor(s) on which the Demised Premises are located;

 

(ii)           Furnish heat, ventilation and air-conditioning (“HVAC Service”)
to the Demised Premises for ordinary office purposes. No overtime surcharge
shall be imposed since all utilities required for HVAC Service to the Demised
Premises are separately metered and all consumption charges will be separately
paid for by Tenant pursuant to Section 8 above.

 

(iii)         Furnish electricity to the Demised Premises in order to provide a
consumption capacity of not less than an aggregate of thirteen (13) watts per
square foot of floor space of the Demised Premises (such aggregate minimum
thirteen (13) watts per square foot requirements having been determined on the
basis of the sum of: five (5) watts per square foot for electrical receptacles,
plus two (2) watts per square foot for lighting, plus five (5) watts per square
foot for HVAC, plus an additional

 

18

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

one (1) watt per square foot for miscellaneous expansion purposes. Tenant’s use
of electrical service shall not exceed, either in voltage, rated capacity or
overall load, the capacity so provided pursuant to the provisions of the
preceding sentence.

 

(iv)          Provide janitorial services in accordance with Landlord’s building
standard janitorial specifications as set forth on Exhibit “D” attached hereto.
Any and all additional or specialized janitorial service desired by Tenant
(i.e., over and above the services specified in Exhibit “D” attached hereto)
shall be contracted for by Tenant directly with a Vendor selected by Tenant and
the cost and payment thereof shall be the sole responsibility of Tenant; and

 

(v)            Provide access to the Property, the Building and the Demised
Premises twenty-four hours per day, seven days per week, subject to reasonable
security measures as may be implemented by Landlord.

 

(b)           If Tenant requests permission to consume excess or supplemental
electrical service, HVAC Service or other utility services (i.e., any of the
same which shall be over and above those to be provided in accordance with the
provisions of Section 9(a) above), Landlord may condition its consent upon
conditions that Landlord reasonably determines based upon the adequacy of such
service capacity at the Building, and in the event such consent is granted, all
costs for such additional service, including, without limitation, required
changes, replacements or additions to the existing facilities servicing the
Demised Premises, shall be paid for by Tenant at Tenant’s sole cost and expense.

 

(c)           Tenant shall directly reimburse Landlord for any supplemental
services requested by Tenant in writing from Landlord and supplied by Landlord,
said reimbursement to be paid within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s receipt of
Landlord’s invoice therefor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall have
no obligation to provide any such supplemental services to Tenant. In the event
Landlord elects not to provide such supplemental services, Tenant, at its sole
cost and expense, shall have the right to contract for such services on its own.

 

(d)           It is understood that Landlord does not warrant that any of the
services referred to in this Section will be free from interruption from causes
beyond the reasonable control of Landlord. No interruption of service shall ever
be deemed an eviction or disturbance of Tenant’s use and possession of the
Demised Premises or any part thereof or render Landlord liable to Tenant for
damages, permit Tenant to abate Rent or otherwise relieve Tenant from
performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if any “Essential Service” (as hereinafter defined) which Landlord is
required to provide to the Demised Premises pursuant to the terms of this
Section is interrupted due to the negligence of Landlord, its agents or
employees (a “Service Interruption”) and such Service Interruption causes Tenant
to be unable to reasonably use all or a material portion of the Demised Premises
(the “Affected Space”) for a period of three (3) or more days after written
notice thereof from Tenant to Landlord (the “Interruption Notice”), then, the
Annual Base Rent shall abate in the proportion that the rentable square footage
of the Affected Space bears to the

 

19

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

rentable square footage of the Demised Premises, which abatement shall commence
on the fourth (4th) day following Landlord’s receipt of the Interruption Notice
and expire the date that the Service Interruption is remedied. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in no event shall Tenant be entitled to abatement or any other
remedy if the interruption of any Essential Service is caused by the negligence
of Tenant, its agents or employees. Except as may be otherwise provided for in
Sections 14 and 15 herein, in the event of any Service Interruption pursuant to
which Tenant shall exercise its right to abate Annual Base Rent in accordance
with the foregoing provisions of this Section, it is understood and agreed that
Tenant shall not be entitled to pursue any other rights against Landlord
(including, without limitation, any right to terminate this Lease or to claim an
actual or constructive eviction or to bring an action for money damages) unless
such Service Interruption shall have continued for fifteen (15) or more days.
For purposes of this Section, an “Essential Service” shall mean the service
provided by the HVAC systems, plumbing and waste disposal systems and electrical
systems (to the extent supplied by Landlord). Nothing contained herein shall
expand or limit Tenant’s right to abatement in the case of a fire or other
casualty or condemnation as provided in the “Fire or Casualty” or “Condemnation”
Sections of this Lease.

 

10.          CARE OF DEMISED PREMISES. Tenant agrees that it shall:

 

(a)           In its use of the Demised Premises comply at all times with any
and all federal, state and local statutes, regulations, ordinances, and other
requirements of any of the constituted public authorities relating to Tenant’s
use, occupancy or alteration of the Demised Premises (and with the reasonable,
commercially customary and non-discriminatory requirements of the insurers
insuring the Building relating thereto). Notwithstanding the foregoing, with
respect to any obligation of Tenant hereunder, Tenant shall have the right, upon
giving prior written notice to Landlord, to contest any obligation imposed upon
Tenant hereunder and to defer compliance during the pendency of such contest,
provided that the failure of Tenant to so comply will not subject Landlord to
prosecution, criminal penalty or, unless Tenant shall agree in writing to
reimburse Landlord for same, any additional costs. Landlord shall cooperate with
Tenant in any such contest, at no cost to Landlord, and shall execute,
acknowledge and deliver any documents reasonably required in furtherance of such
purpose. The provisions of this Section are not intended to impose on Tenant at
any time any obligation to make changes or alterations to the Building or any
obligation which under this Lease is an obligation of Landlord;

 

(b)           Maintain, repair and replace the interior, non-structural portions
of the Demised Premises so as to keep same in safe, good order and repair, as
and when needed, and commit no waste in the Demised Premises. The provisions of
this Section are not intended to impose on Tenant at any time any obligation to
make changes or alterations to the Building or any obligation which under this
Lease is an obligation of Landlord and the provisions of this Section shall not
apply in the case of damage or destruction by fire or other casualty or in the
case of any taking; the obligations of the parties in such cases shall be as
provided in other Sections of this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the
event any glass is broken by Tenant, its agents, employees or invitees, Landlord
agrees to repair and replace the same, as necessary,

 

20

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

at Tenant’s sole cost and expense;

 

(c)           Not overload, damage or deface the Demised Premises or do any act
of an extra-hazardous nature which might make void or voidable any insurance on
the Demised Premises or the Building or which may render an increased or extra
premium payable for insurance over and above the premium which would otherwise
have been payable absent such act by Tenant (and without prejudice to any right
or remedy of Landlord regarding this subparagraph, Landlord shall have the right
to collect from Tenant, within thirty (30) days after written demand (which
demand shall be accompanied by a schedule or “make-up” prepared by the Fire
Insurance Exchange or other body making such rates and setting forth the nature
of such act and the specific amount of increase in premiums caused thereby), any
such increase or extra premium resulting from such act by Tenant).
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, it is understood and
agreed that Tenant’s use of the Demised Premises for the Permitted Use described
in clause “i” of Section 1(t) shall not be deemed to comprise any such act; and
it is further understood and agreed that if Landlord shall permit the use of any
other portion of the Building for any use or purpose and by reason thereof the
insurance rate applicable to Tenant’s property at the Demised Premises shall at
any time be higher than it otherwise would be, then Landlord shall reimburse
Tenant on demand (which demand shall be accompanied by a schedule or “make-up”
prepared by the Fire Insurance Exchange or other body making such rates and
setting forth the nature of such use and the specific amount of increase in
premiums caused thereby) for the part of all insurance premiums which shall have
been then or in the future charged as a result of such use or purpose and which
Tenant shall have paid on account of increase in rate in its own policies of
insurance;

 

(d)           Not make any alteration of or addition to the Demised Premises
without the prior written approval of Landlord, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, except for interior,
non-structural alterations that do not exceed more than Two Dollars ($2.00) per
rentable square feet of the Demised Premises in the aggregate. All alterations
and additions performed in the Demised Premises by Tenant, whether or not
requiring Landlord’s consent, shall be performed: (i) at Tenant’s sole cost and
expense, (ii) by qualified contractors and subcontractors (Tenant shall submit
the names of such contractors and subcontractors to Landlord prior to performing
any alterations or additions), and (iii) in a good and workmanlike manner and in
accordance with all applicable laws and ordinances. Upon completion of any
alterations requiring Landlord’s consent hereunder, Tenant shall pay to Landlord
an amount equal to the lesser of (i) five percent (5%) of the total cost of such
alterations, or (ii) Landlord’s construction manager’s fee in reviewing and
inspecting such alterations (such construction manager’s rate is $100.00 per
hour), to reimburse Landlord for review of all plans and specifications and
final inspection of the work. All alterations to the Demised Premises by Tenant
shall be the property of Tenant until the expiration or earlier termination of
this Lease.  Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, all such
alterations shall remain at the Demised Premises and become the property of
Landlord without payment by Landlord therefor; provided, however, that movable
furniture and furnishings and other trade fixtures of Tenant (including, without
limitation, all signs, displays, decorations, track lighting and other
specialized lighting

 

21

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

fixtures), shall, regardless of the manner or mode of attachment, remain the
property of Tenant and may be removed by Tenant at any time. Tenant shall
procure all necessary permits or licenses from the appropriate governmental
authorities which may be expressly required in connection with the prosecution
of any such alterations and additions by Tenant and Landlord agrees to cooperate
with Tenant, at no additional cost to Landlord, in respect of such procurement
and in furtherance thereof shall promptly execute, or join with Tenant in the
execution of, any applications for such permits or licenses in connection with
such procurement, at no additional cost to Landlord. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if Landlord advises Tenant in writing at the time Landlord approves
any alteration requiring Landlord approval (or, if not requiring Landlord’s
approval, upon Tenant’s written request prior to making any such alteration)
that Landlord will require such alterations to be removed at the expiration or
earlier termination of the Lease, Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and
expense, remove such alterations and repair any resulting damage.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Tenant shall not be obligated
to remove any paint or carpet from the Demised Premises;

 

(e)           Not install any equipment of any kind whatsoever which will
materially adversely affect any of the heating, ventilating, air-conditioning,
electric, sanitary, elevator or other systems serving the Demised Premises or
any other portion of the Building, or any of the services required of Landlord
under this Lease, without the prior written approval of Landlord (which approval
shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), and in the event
such approval is granted, the reasonable and actual cost of any replacements,
changes or additions shall be paid for by Tenant at Tenant’s sole cost and
expense. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Landlord
hereby consents to the installation by Tenant upon the Demised Premises of a
kiln and mold making machine for Tenant’s use in connection with its product
development activities and agrees that such installation shall not be deemed to
require any replacements, changes or additions to such systems as are described
in this Section and that such installation shall not require the payment by
Tenant to Landlord for any additional costs hereunder. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Landlord, at Landlord’s option, shall have the right to require that
the kiln and mold making machine be removed upon the expiration or earlier
termination of the Lease by providing written notice thereof to Tenant, in which
event Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, shall remove such alterations
and repair any resulting damage;

 

(f)            Subject to Section 38 hereof, not place signs on the Demised
Premises except for (i) signs located entirely within the Demised Premises and
which are not visible from the exterior of the Demised Premises, (ii) signs on
doors provided that the lettering and text are approved by Landlord; and
(iii) signs in the lobby and elevator areas.

 

(g)           Not install or authorize the installation of any coin operated
vending machine, except for the dispensing of snacks, coffee, and similar items
to the employees of Tenant for consumption in the cafeteria and the Demised
Premises; and

 

(h)           Provided that the same shall be uniformly imposed upon, and

 

22

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

non-discriminatorily enforced against, all tenants and occupants of the
Building, observe the rules and regulations annexed hereto as Exhibit “C”, as
Landlord may from time to time amend the same, for the general safety, comfort
and convenience of Landlord, occupants and tenants of the Building; provided,
however, that any such amendments shall likewise be uniformly imposed upon, and
non-discriminatorily enforced against, all tenants and occupants of the Building
(and written notice thereof shall be given to Tenant by Landlord in each
instance at least thirty (30) days prior to the date upon which any of same
shall be scheduled to take effect) and provided further that no such amendments
shall interfere with Tenant’s operation of its business upon the Demised
Premises nor serve to increase the obligations, or limit the rights, of Tenant
under this Lease.

 

11.          MECHANICS’ LIENS. Prior to Tenant performing any alterations to the
Demised Premises for which a lien could be filed against the Demised Premises or
the Building, Tenant shall have its contractor execute and file in the
appropriate public office a Waiver of Mechanics’ Lien, in statutory form and
provide Landlord with an original copy thereof. If any mechanic’s lien shall be
filed against the Demised Premises or the Building by reason of Tenant’s failure
to pay for any materials or labor furnished to the Demised Premises on Tenant’s
behalf (except for work contracted for by Landlord) Tenant shall, within thirty
(30) days after receipt of notice from Landlord of the filing thereof, discharge
(by bond, payment or otherwise) such mechanics’ lien and shall indemnify and
hold harmless Landlord from any and all claims, costs, damages, loss,
liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s
fees) incurred by Landlord in connection with any failure by Tenant to discharge
the same as aforesaid.

 

12.          REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE. Landlord shall keep and maintain the
Common Areas of the Building clean and in good working order and shall maintain
the Building and Property in first-class condition at all times during the Term.
Landlord shall further make, or cause to be made, all necessary repairs to the
structure and exterior of the Building, as well as to the mechanical, HVAC,
electrical and plumbing systems servicing Building (including, without
limitation, all portions of such systems as are located within and/or
exclusively serve the Demised Premises). Landlord shall also keep and maintain
in good and tenantable condition and repair and replace, as necessary, (i) the
roof, roof drainage systems, exterior walls, foundations, floor (except floor
coverings), (ii) all structural components of the Demised Premises and the
Building, (iii) all windows within, and/or comprising, the exterior walls of the
Demised Premises and/or within, and/or comprising, the walls separating the
Demised Premises from any Common Areas and (iv) all doors providing access to
the Demised Premises from any Common Areas. Landlord shall, at its sole cost and
expense (and not to be included in Operating Expenses), further make or cause to
be made any other repairs and changes required to the Demised Premises and said
Building by reason of any breach by Landlord of any provision of this Lease or
by reason of the negligence or fault of Landlord or its servants, agents or
employees. Landlord shall maintain and repair all sewer facilities and other
utility facilities outside the Demised Premises servicing the Demised Premises.
Landlord shall cause all repairs and changes to be made without unreasonable
interference with the operation of the Building or the business of Tenant

 

23

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

or any subtenant or licensee of Tenant. When used herein, the term “repair”
shall be deemed to include restoration and replacement as may be necessary to
achieve or maintain good working order. The cost of the foregoing maintenance
and repairs shall be included in Operating Expenses, except to the extent
expressly excluded therefrom pursuant to any provision of this Lease (including,
without limitation, the provisions of this Section and of Section 7).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, all repairs made necessary by the negligent acts
or willful misconduct of Tenant, its agents, employees or invitees or by reason
of damage caused by Tenant, its agents, employees or contractors, to the Demised
Premises or other portions of the Building in connection with Tenant’s, its
agents’, employees’ or contractors’ construction of any alterations, shall be
made at the sole cost and expense of Tenant. The provisions of this
Section shall not apply in the case of damage or destruction by fire or other
casualty or in the case of any taking; the obligations of the parties in such
cases shall be as provided in other Sections of this Lease.

 

13.         SUBLETTING AND ASSIGNING.

 

(a)           Except as otherwise provided in this Lease, Tenant shall not
assign this Lease, or sublet all or any portion of the Demised Premises, whether
voluntarily or by operation of law, without first obtaining Landlord’s prior
written consent thereto, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed. Tenant acknowledges that, without in any way limiting
the foregoing, Landlord shall have the right to withhold its consent if, by way
of example and not limitation, the financial responsibility of a proposed
assignee or subtenant (as compared to Tenant or other tenants of the Building as
applicable to the comparable financial obligation then being undertaken by such
assignee or subtenant in comparison to the Tenant or such other tenants and
taking into account the then-current combined financial responsibility of such
assignee or subtenant and Tenant) is unsatisfactory to Landlord, if such
subtenant’s or assignee’s business is not for the Permitted Use or would
significantly increase the density of personnel use, if the proposed sublease or
assignment is to a tenant of the Building or to a prospect with whom Landlord is
then actively negotiating or has been engaged in active negotiations with during
the immediately preceding six (6) month period, or if Tenant is in default
beyond the cure period in the payment or performance of any of its material
obligations hereunder. In addition, Tenant shall not mortgage, pledge or
hypothecate this Lease. Any assignment, sublease, mortgage, pledge or
hypothecation in violation of this Section shall be void at the option of
Landlord and shall constitute a default hereunder without the opportunity for
notice or cure by Tenant.

 

(b)           A transfer or sale by Tenant of a majority of the voting shares,
partnership interests or other controlling interests in Tenant shall be deemed
an assignment of this Lease by Tenant requiring Landlord’s prior written consent
pursuant to subparagraph (a) above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as
Tenant is not in default under this Lease beyond the applicable cure period,
upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to Landlord, Tenant shall have the
right, without Landlord’s consent, to sublet all or a portion of the Demised
Premises or to assign this Lease to any entity which is an Affiliate (as
hereinafter defined) of Tenant so long as the Affiliate has a net worth
(excluding intangibles) equal to or greater than the net worth (excluding

 

24

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

intangibles) of Tenant as of the date of this Lease or as of the date of the
transfer, whichever is greater; provided, however, that there shall be no such
net worth requirement or condition applicable to the sublease to any Affiliate
of Tenant of premises comprising less than 65,000 rentable square feet. As used
herein, “Affiliate” shall mean any entity (x) that directly owns more than fifty
percent (50%) of the voting shares, partnership interests or other controlling
interests in Tenant, or (y) in which Tenant owns such controlling interests, or
(z) with which Tenant is in common control by virtue of the ownership of such
controlling interests by another person or entity.

 

(c)           Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such subletting or assignment
(whether or not requiring Landlord’s consent) shall not in any way relieve or
release Tenant from liability for the payment and performance of all obligations
under this Lease (including, if applicable, obligations relating to any
extension of the Term for any Renewal Term as expressly provided in Section 34
hereinafter), and Tenant shall remain primarily liable to Landlord for all such
obligations without release or limitation by reason of any modification or
amendment to this Lease entered into by Landlord and any assignee of Tenant
(provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, it is understood and agreed that, unless Tenant shall have otherwise
expressly agreed in writing with Landlord, in no event shall Tenant be liable
for any aspect of any such modification or amendment entered into by Landlord
and any such assignee which shall not be a parent, subsidiary, or affiliated
company of the original Tenant under this Lease which shall increase the
obligations of “Tenant” hereunder). Furthermore, no assignment will be valid
unless the assignee shall execute and deliver to Landlord an assignment and
assumption agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “L”, which shall
include an assumption by the assignee of all of the obligations of Tenant and
the assignee’s ratification of and agreement to be bound by all the provisions
of this Lease; and no subletting will be valid unless Tenant and the subtenant
have executed and delivered to Landlord a sublease agreement pursuant to which
such subtenant agrees that the sublease shall be subject to all of the terms and
conditions of this Lease, as the same shall be applicable to such subtenant’s
use and occupancy of the subleased premises.

 

(d)           In the case of a sublease to other than any parent, subsidiary, or
affiliated company of Tenant, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent
hereunder, fifty percent (50%) of the amount by which all subrents or other sums
or economic consideration received by Tenant (after deducting the aggregate
amount of all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Tenant in the making of
such sublease (including, without limitation, brokerage commissions, attorneys’
and other professionals’ fees and disbursements, construction and alteration
costs, and free and/or reduced rent periods)), whether denominated as rentals or
otherwise, shall exceed the corresponding monthly sums which Tenant is required
to pay under this Lease. In the case of an assignment to other than any parent,
subsidiary, or affiliated company of Tenant or other than any surviving company
in a merger or consolidation involving Tenant, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as
Additional Rent hereunder, fifty percent (50%) of all sums or economic
consideration received by Tenant for the assignment (after deducting the
aggregate amount of all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Tenant in the
making of such assignment (including, without

 

25

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

limitation, brokerage commissions, attorneys’ and other professionals’ fees and
disbursements, construction and alteration costs, and free and/or reduced rent
periods), whether denominated as rentals or otherwise.

 

(e)           When Tenant requests Landlord’s required consent to an assignment
or sublease as hereinbefore provided, it shall notify Landlord in writing of
(i) the name and address of the proposed assignee or subtenant; (ii) the nature
and character of the business of the proposed assignee or subtenant;
(iii) financial information including financial statements of the proposed
assignee or subtenant; (iv) the rental rate and material monetary terms, such as
rent concessions, work, or work allowance, at which Tenant intends to sublet any
of the Demised Premises or assign this Lease, the proposed effective date of the
sublet or assignment and, in the case of a sublet, the portion of the Demised
Premises sought to be sublet and the length of the sublet, and (v) a copy of the
proposed sublet or assignment documentation.

 

(f)            Intentionally deleted.

 

(g)           No subletting, occupancy or collection of rent with respect to a
subtenant or assignee pursuant to which Landlord’s consent shall be required
hereunder shall be deemed the acceptance of the subtenant or occupant as tenant
under this Lease unless otherwise consented to by Landlord. The consent by
Landlord to an assignment or subletting where such Landlord consent is required
shall not in any respect be construed to relieve Tenant from obtaining the
express consent in writing of Landlord to any further assignment or subletting
where such consent shall be expressly required under this Lease.

 

(h)           Tenant shall pay to Landlord, promptly upon demand therefor, all
reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including, without limitation,
reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by Landlord in connection
with any request by Tenant for Landlord’s consent to an assignment of this Lease
or sublease of all or any part of the Demised Premises where such consent shall
be expressly required under this Lease; provided, however, that in no event
shall the amount of any such required reimbursement hereunder exceed $500.00.

 

14.          FIRE OR CASUALTY. In the event that the whole or any part of the
Building or the Demised Premises or any other improvements upon the Property is
damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty, Landlord shall, at Landlord’s
sole cost and expense, promptly commence, and thereafter prosecute the
completion thereof with all due diligence, the repair, restoration and
rebuilding of the portion(s) of the Building or the Demised Premises or other
improvements so damaged or destroyed to as nearly as practicable their condition
immediately prior to the occurrence of such damage or destruction.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 14, in the
event that (i) the Demised Premises shall be damaged by fire or other casualty
to the extent of twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the full replacement cost
thereof during the last eighteen (18) months of the Lease Term, or (ii) the
Demised Premises and/or the Building shall be damaged by fire or other casualty
to the extent of fifty percent (50%) or more of the full replacement cost
thereof and more than one hundred

 

26

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

eighty (180) days shall be reasonably anticipated to be required in order to
fully complete the reconstruction thereof, or (iii) notwithstanding the extent
of any such damage to the Demised Premises and/or said Building, if Landlord’s
reconstruction is not completed within one hundred eighty (180) days after the
date of such damage, Tenant shall have the option to terminate this Lease on
written notice to Landlord of exercise thereof within thirty (30) days after (x)
the date of occurrence of such damage or (y) the expiration of the aforesaid one
hundred eighty (180) day period for the completion of such restoration by
Landlord, whichever shall be applicable. To the extent and for the time that the
Demised Premises are rendered untenantable on account of fire or other casualty,
the Rent shall proportionately abate according to the part of the Demised
Premises which is usable by Tenant for its normal business operations (with
usability to be determined by the extent, if any, that Tenant, in its reasonable
judgment, shall deem it infeasible to conduct its business upon the Demised
Premises as a result of any such damage and/or repair and reconstruction to the
Demised Premises and/or said Building) commencing from the date of damage or
destruction and continuing during the period of repair and reconstruction;
provided, however, that in the event that the Demised Premises shall have been
rendered wholly untenantable by reason of any such damage and/or reconstruction
to the Demised Premises and/or said Building, such abatement shall continue
until the earlier to occur of (i) the thirty-first day after Landlord shall have
completed its reconstruction as aforesaid or (ii) the date upon which Tenant
shall first resume its normal business operations at the Demised Premises.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if any mortgagee,
having the right to do so, shall direct that the insurance proceeds are to be
applied to reduce the mortgage debt rather than to the repair of such damage,
this Lease shall, at the option of Landlord (which option shall be exercised by
Landlord by the giving of written notice thereof to Tenant within thirty (30)
days after Landlord’s receipt of such direction from such mortgagee), be
terminated effective as of the date of casualty.

 

15.          EMINENT DOMAIN. If the whole or substantially all of the Building
is taken or condemned for a public or quasi-public use under any statute or by
right of eminent domain by any competent authority or sold in lieu of such
taking or condemnation, this Lease shall automatically terminate on the date
that the right to possession shall vest in the condemning authority (the “Taking
Date”), with Rent being adjusted to said Taking Date, and Tenant shall have no
claim against Landlord for the value of any unexpired term of this Lease. Tenant
shall have no claim against Landlord and no claim or right to any portion of any
amount that may be awarded as damages or paid as a result of any taking,
condemnation or purchase in lieu thereof; all rights of Tenant thereto are
hereby assigned by Tenant to Landlord, except that, notwithstanding the
foregoing, Tenant shall retain the right to receive compensation or damages for
its fixtures and personal property and for moving expenses, the expense of
removal of Tenant’s trade fixtures and other personal property, loss of good
will, and awards for Tenant’s interruption or dislocation of business in the
Demised Premises, remodeling expenses; provided that any such claim by Tenant
with respect to the depreciated book value of any such leasehold improvements
shall in no way diminish the award, damages or compensation payable to or
recoverable by Landlord in connection with such condemnation. If any part of the
Demised Premises is so taken or condemned and

 

27

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

this Lease is not terminated in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this
Section, this Lease shall automatically terminate as to the portion of the
Demised Premises so taken or condemned, as of the Taking Date, and this Lease
shall continue in full force as to the remainder of the Demised Premises, with
Rent abating only to the extent of the Demised Premises so taken or condemned;
provided, however, that if the remaining portion of the Demised Premises is no
longer suitable for the Permitted Use, then Tenant shall have the right to
terminate this Lease by providing written notice thereof to Landlord within
thirty (30) days after the Taking Date.

 

16.          INSOLVENCY. (a) The appointment of a receiver or trustee to take
possession of all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant, or (b) an
assignment by Tenant for the benefit of creditors, or (c) the institution by or
against Tenant of any proceedings for bankruptcy or reorganization under any
state or federal law (unless the same shall be dismissed within ninety (90) days
after institution), or (d) any execution issued against all or substantially all
of the assets of Tenant which is not stayed or discharged within thirty (30)
days after issuance thereof, shall constitute a breach of this Lease by Tenant.
Landlord in the event of such a breach, shall have, without need of further
notice, the rights enumerated in Section 17 herein, except that Landlord shall
not have the right to the Accelerated Rent Component pursuant to
Section 17(a)(i) so long as all of the other obligations of Tenant (including,
without limitation, the obligation to pay Rent) are being performed by Tenant or
anyone claiming through or under Tenant.

 

17.          DEFAULT.

 

(a)           It shall be deemed that an “Event of Default” shall have occurred
if (i) Tenant shall fail to pay Rent hereunder when due and such failure
continues for more than ten (10) days after written notice of such failure from
Landlord to Tenant (provided, however, that Landlord shall not be required to
provide written notice to Tenant more than two times during any twelve month
period), or (ii) any of the events specified in Section 16 occur; or
(iii) Tenant vacates or abandons the Demised Premises during the Term hereof
[provided, however, Tenant’s abandoning of the Demised Premises shall not
constitute an “Event of Default” hereunder if (x) Tenant pays to Landlord
promptly upon demand any and all reasonable costs incurred by Landlord as a
result of said action, including, but not limited to, increase in security costs
and increase in insurance premiums, and (y) Tenant deposits in escrow or
provides Landlord with an unconditional letter of credit (in a form and
substance satisfactory to Landlord) in an amount equal to the sum of the Annual
Base Rent which otherwise would have been payable for the six (6) months after
the date that Tenant abandons the Demised Premises (such amount may be drawn
against if Tenant fails to pay Rent in accordance with the terms of this Lease);
notwithstanding the foregoing, if Tenant defaults in the payment of Rent during
the period that Tenant has abandoned the Demised Premises, Landlord, regardless
of whether or not such default has been cured, shall be immediately entitled to
pursue any and all remedies provided for herein and retain all proceeds for the
letter of credit (provided that such proceeds are applied to the amount of
Tenant’s defaults in the payment Rent then due or to become due)]; or
(iv) Tenant sublets the Demised Premises or assigns this Lease in any
circumstance where such sublease or assignment shall violate the provisions of
Section 13 hereof; or (v) Tenant fails to

 

28

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

maintain the insurance required pursuant to Section 19 hereof and such failure
continues for more than five (5) days after written notice thereof from
Landlord; or (vi) Tenant fails to perform or observe any of the other covenants,
terms or conditions contained in this Lease and such failure continues for more
than thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from Landlord (or such longer
period as is reasonably required to correct any such default, provided Tenant
commences to effectuate a cure within thirty (30) days after written notice
thereof by Landlord and thereafter diligently continues the prosecution
thereof); then and in any of said cases and during the continuance of any such
Event of Default, Landlord shall have the right, at Landlord’s sole option (and
notwithstanding any former breach of covenant or waiver thereof in a former
instance), to serve upon Tenant a notice of Landlord’s intention to exercise its
rights and remedies as hereinafter provided in this Section at the expiration of
five (5) days after the date of the giving of such notice, and upon the
expiration of said five (5) day period, if Tenant shall have failed to cure such
Event of Default (unless such Event of Default is of such a character that
rectification thereof reasonably requires more than said five (5) day period and
Tenant shall have commenced to cure said Event of Default within said five
(5) day period and is continuing to diligently prosecute such cure to
completion), then Landlord, in addition to all other rights and remedies
available to it by law or equity or by any other provisions hereof, may at any
time thereafter:

 

(i)            declare to be immediately due and payable, a sum equal to the
Accelerated Rent Component (as hereinafter defined), and Tenant shall remain
liable to Landlord as hereinafter provided;

 

(ii)           terminate this Lease upon written notice to Tenant and, on the
date specified in said notice, this Lease and the term hereby demised and all
rights of Tenant hereunder shall expire and terminate and Tenant shall thereupon
quit and surrender possession of the Demised Premises to Landlord in the
condition elsewhere herein required, and Tenant shall remain liable to Landlord
as hereinafter provided; and/or

 

(iii)         enter upon and repossess the Demised Premises, by force, summary
proceedings, ejectment or otherwise, and dispossess Tenant and remove Tenant and
all other persons and property from the Demised Premises, without being liable
to Tenant for prosecution or damages therefor, and Tenant shall remain liable to
Landlord as hereinafter provided.

 

(b)           For purposes herein, the Accelerated Rent Component shall mean the
aggregate of:

 

(i)            all Rent and other charges, payments, costs and expenses due from
Tenant to Landlord and in arrears at the time of the election of Landlord to
recover the Accelerated Rent Component;

 

(ii)           the Annual Base Rent reserved for the then entire unexpired
balance of the Term (taken without regard to any early termination of the Term
by virtue of any default or any early termination rights set forth herein), plus
all other charges,

 

29

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

payments, costs and expenses herein agreed to be paid by Tenant up to the end of
the Term which shall be capable of precise determination at the time of
Landlord’s election to recover the Accelerated Rent Component, discounted to
then present value at the Prime Rate (as defined in Section 7(b)(ii)); and

 

(iii)         Landlord’s good faith estimate of all charges, payments, costs and
expenses herein agreed to be paid by Tenant up to the end of the Term which
shall not be capable of precise determination as aforesaid, discounted to then
present value at the Prime Rate (and for such purposes no estimate of any
component of the Additional Rent to accrue pursuant to the provisions of
Sections 7 and Section 8 hereof shall be less than the amount which would be due
if each such component continued at the highest monthly rate or amount in effect
during the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the default).

 

(c)           In the event that Landlord shall, after default or breach by
Tenant, recover the Accelerated Rent Component and/or retake possession of the
Demised Premises, then Landlord agrees to use reasonable efforts to relet the
Demised Premises; provided, however, in no event shall Landlord be required to
(i) lease the Demised Premises over other available space in the Building,
(ii) accept a below-market rental rate for the Demised Premises, (iii) accept
any tenant whose creditworthiness is unsatisfactory to Landlord, in its sole
discretion, reasonably exercised, or (iv) accept any tenant whose business is
not compatible with the other tenants of the Building, as determined by Landlord
in its sole discretion, reasonably exercised. For the purpose of such reletting,
Landlord may decorate or make reasonable repairs, changes, alterations or
additions to the Demised Premises to the extent deemed desirable or convenient
by Landlord. All reasonable and commercially customary costs of reletting,
including, without limitation, the cost of such repairs, changes, alterations
and additions, brokerage commissions and reasonable legal fees, shall be charged
to and be payable by Tenant as Additional Rent hereunder for the purpose of
calculating Landlord’s damages arising from such termination. Any sums collected
by Landlord from any new tenant shall be credited against the balance of the
Annual Base Rent and Additional Rent due hereunder as aforesaid.

 

(d)           Tenant shall, with respect to all periods of time up to and
including the expiration of the Term of this Lease (or what would have been the
expiration date in the absence of default or breach) remain liable to Landlord
as follows:

 

(i)            In the event of termination of this Lease on account of an Event
of Default pursuant to the provisions of Section 17(b) above, Tenant shall
remain liable to Landlord for damages equal to the Rent payable under this Lease
by Tenant as if this Lease were still in effect, less the net proceeds of any
reletting after deducting all reasonable and commercially customary costs
incident thereto (including without limitation all repossession costs, brokerage
and management commissions, operating and reasonable legal expenses and fees,
alteration costs and expenses of preparation for reletting) and to the extent
such damages shall not have been recovered by Landlord by virtue of payment by
Tenant of the Accelerated Rent Component (but without prejudice to the right of
Landlord to demand and receive the Accelerated Rent

 

30

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Component), such damages shall be payable to Landlord, at Landlord’s option,
monthly upon presentation to Tenant of a bill for the amount due or at such
other intervals or times as Landlord shall determine.

 

(ii)           In the event and so long as this Lease shall not have been
terminated after default or breach by Tenant, the rent and all other charges
payable under this Lease shall be reduced by the net proceeds of any reletting
by Landlord (after deducting all costs incident thereto as above set forth) and
by any portion of the Accelerated Rent Component paid by Tenant to Landlord (but
without prejudice to the right of Landlord to demand and receive the Accelerated
Rent Component), and any amount due to Landlord shall be payable monthly, at
Landlord’s option, upon presentation to Tenant of a bill for the amount due, or
at such other intervals or times as Landlord shall determine.

 

(e)           If Landlord shall, after default or breach by Tenant, recover the
Accelerated Rent Component from Tenant and it shall be determined at the
expiration of the term of this Lease (taken without regard to early termination
for default) that a credit is due Tenant because the net proceeds of reletting,
as aforesaid, plus the amounts paid to Landlord by Tenant exceed the aggregate
of rent and other charges accrued in favor of Landlord to the end of the term,
Landlord shall refund such excess to Tenant (but not an amount more than the
rent and additional rent paid by Tenant for any particular period of time),
without interest, promptly after such determination.

 

(f)            Nothing contained in this Lease shall limit or prejudice the
right of Landlord to prove for and obtain as damages incident to a termination
of or default under this Lease, in any bankruptcy, reorganization or other court
proceedings, the maximum amount allowed by any statute or rule of law in effect
when such damages are to be proved.

 

(g)           Provided Landlord uses commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate
damages subject to subsection (c) above, Landlord shall in no event be
responsible or liable for any failure to relet the Demised Premises or any part
thereof, or for any failure to collect any Rent due upon a reletting.

 

(h)           Tenant shall pay upon demand all of Landlord’s reasonable and
actual out-of-pocket costs, charges and expenses, including the reasonable fees
and out-of-pocket expenses of counsel, agents and others retained by Landlord,
incurred in enforcing Tenant’s obligations hereunder or incurred by Landlord in
any litigation, negotiation or transaction in which Tenant causes Landlord,
without Landlord’s fault, to become involved or concerned.

 

(i)           AFTER A DEFAULT OR THE EXPIRATION OF THE TERM, FOR THE SOLE AND
EXPRESS PURPOSE OF OBTAINING POSSESSION OF THE DEMISED PREMISES, TENANT HEREBY
AUTHORIZES AND EMPOWERS THE PROTHONOTARY OR ANY ATTORNEY OF ANY COURT OF RECORD
IN THE COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA, AS ATTORNEY FOR TENANT AND ALL PERSONS
CLAIMING UNDER OR THROUGH TENANT, TO APPEAR FOR AND

 

31

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

CONFESS JUDGMENT AGAINST TENANT FOR POSSESSION OF THE DEMISED PREMISES, AND
AGAINST ALL PERSONS CLAIMING UNDER OR THROUGH TENANT, IN FAVOR OF LANDLORD, FOR
RECOVERY BY LANDLORD OF POSSESSION THEREOF, FOR WHICH THIS AGREEMENT OR A COPY
HEREOF VERIFIED BY AFFIDAVIT, SHALL BE A SUFFICIENT WARRANT; AND THEREUPON A
WRIT OF POSSESSION MAY IMMEDIATELY ISSUE FOR POSSESSION OF THE DEMISED PREMISES,
WITHOUT ANY PRIOR WRIT OR PROCEEDING WHATSOEVER AND WITHOUT ANY STAY OF
EXECUTION. IF FOR ANY REASON AFTER SUCH ACTION HAS BEEN COMMENCED THE SAME SHALL
BE TERMINATED AND THE POSSESSION OF THE DEMISED PREMISES REMAINS IN OR IS
RESTORED TO TENANT, LANDLORD SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT UPON ANY SUBSEQUENT DEFAULT TO
CONFESS JUDGMENT IN ONE OR MORE FURTHER ACTIONS IN THE MANNER AND FORM SET FORTH
ABOVE TO RECOVER POSSESSION OF SAID DEMISED PREMISES FOR SUCH SUBSEQUENT
DEFAULT. NO SUCH TERMINATION OF THIS LEASE, NOR TAKING, NOR RECOVERING
POSSESSION OF THE DEMISED PREMISES SHALL DEPRIVE LANDLORD OF ANY REMEDIES OR
ACTION AGAINST TENANT FOR RENT OR FOR DAMAGES DUE OR TO BECOME DUE FOR THE
BREACH OF ANY CONDITION OR COVENANT HEREIN CONTAINED, NOR SHALL THE BRINGING OF
ANY SUCH ACTION FOR RENT, OR BREACH OF COVENANT OR CONDITION NOR THE RESORT TO
ANY OTHER REMEDY HEREIN PROVIDED FOR THE RECOVERY OF RENT OR DAMAGES FOR SUCH
BREACH BE CONSTRUED AS A WAIVER OF THE RIGHT TO INSIST UPON THE FORFEITURE AND
TO OBTAIN POSSESSION IN THE MANNER HEREIN PROVIDED.

 

(j)            Intentionally Deleted.

 

(k)           Intentionally Deleted.

 

(l)            If Rent or any other sum due from Tenant to Landlord shall be
overdue for more than ten (10) days after written notice from Landlord to Tenant
(provided, however, that Landlord shall not be required to provide written
notice to Tenant more than two times during any twelve month period), it shall
thereafter bear interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum until paid.

 

(m)          All remedies available to Landlord hereunder and at law and in
equity shall be cumulative and concurrent. No termination of this Lease pursuant
to the provisions of this Section 17 nor taking or recovering possession of the
Demised Premises after any such termination shall deprive Landlord of any
remedies or actions against Tenant as are expressly permitted under this
Section 17 for Rent, for charges or for damages for the breach of any covenant,
agreement or condition herein contained, nor, after any such termination, shall
the bringing of any such action for Rent, charges or breach of covenant,
agreement or condition, nor the resort to any other remedy or right for the
recovery of Rent, charges or damages for such breach be construed as a waiver or
release of the right to insist upon the forfeiture and to obtain possession. No
reentering or taking possession of the Demised Premises, or making of repairs,
alterations or improvements thereto, or reletting thereof, shall be construed as
an

 

32

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

election on the part of Landlord to terminate this Lease unless written notice
of such election to terminate is given by Landlord to Tenant.

 

(n)           No waiver of any provision of this Lease shall be implied by any
failure of Landlord to enforce any remedy allowed for the violation of such
provision, even if such violation is continued or repeated, and no express
waiver shall affect any provision other than the one(s) specified in such waiver
and only for the time and in the manner specifically stated. No receipt of
monies by Landlord from Tenant after the termination of this Lease pursuant to
the provisions of Section 17 shall in any way alter the length of the Term or of
Tenant’s right of possession hereunder or after the giving of any notice shall
reinstate, continue or extend the Term or affect any notice given to Tenant
prior to the receipt of such moneys, it being agreed that after the service of
notice or the commencement of a suit or after final judgment for possession of
the Demised Premises, Landlord may receive and collect any Rent due, and the
payment of said Rent shall not waive or affect said notice, suit or judgment.
The receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount than the Annual Base Rent or any
Additional Rent due shall not be construed to be other than a payment on account
of the Annual Base Rent or Additional Rent then due, and any statement on
Tenant’s check or any letter accompanying Tenant’s check to the contrary shall
not be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such payment
without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the balance of the Annual Base
Rent or Additional Rent due or to pursue any other remedies provided in this
Lease or otherwise.

 

18.          LANDLORD’S RIGHT TO CURE. Landlord may (but shall not be
obligated), on thirty (30) days notice to Tenant (except that only reasonable
notice based on the circumstances need be given in case of emergency, or in the
event a default by Tenant causes a default under any other agreement to which
Landlord is a party) cure on behalf of Tenant any default hereunder by Tenant,
and the reasonable and actual out-of-pocket cost of such cure (including any
reasonable attorney’s fees incurred) shall be deemed Additional Rent payable
upon demand.

 

19.          INSURANCE.

 

(a)           Tenant shall at all times during the Term, including any renewal

times maintain in respect of the Common Areas and the Building commercial
general liability insurance with limits of coverage of not less than $3,000,000
combined single limit for bodily injury or death and for property damage,
including water damage and sprinkler leakage legal liability. The aforesaid
policies of Landlord’s insurance shall contain an endorsement or provision that
they cannot be canceled or the limits of protection thereunder reduced below the
minimum limits required under this Lease except upon ten (10) days prior notice

20.          LIABILITY.

 

(a)          Each of the parties hereto hereby releases the other from any and
all liability for any loss or damage which may be inflicted upon the property of
such party even if such loss or damage shall be brought about by the fault or
negligence of the other party, its agents or employees. Landlord and Tenant
shall cause their respective property insurance policies to contain a clause to
the effect that this release shall not affect the policy or the right of the
insured to recover thereunder. If any such policy does not permit such a waiver,
and if the party to benefit therefrom requests that such a waiver be obtained,
the other party agrees to obtain an endorsement to its insurance policies
permitting such waiver of subrogation if it is available; provided that if an
additional premium is charged for such waiver, the party benefiting therefrom
agrees to pay the amount of such additional premium promptly upon being billed
therefor.

 

(b)          Landlord agrees that, except for loss or damage resulting from the
willful acts or negligence of Tenant, its agents or employees (while such agents

Tenant, its agents and employees, harmless from and against any and all claims,
actions, damages, demands, liens, costs, liability and expense, including,
without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees (and the costs of any deductible

out of any occurrence in or upon any part of the Building and/or the Property.
Tenant shall and does hereby indemnify and hold Landlord, its agents and
employees, harmless from and against any and all claims, actions, damages,

Demised Premises, or (ii) arising out of the use or occupancy of the Demised
Premises by Tenant, its agents, employees, invitees or contractors, or

Section shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

 

(c)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease,

waived and released by Tenant. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Lease, in no event shall Landlord be liable to Tenant for any
consequential damages, lost profits, loss of business or other similar damages,
regardless of whether the same arises out of the

negligence of Landlord, its agents or employees.

express reference to the nondisturbance of Tenant as herein provided. In
confirmation of the subordination and nondisturbance set forth herein, the
current lender holding a mortgage or deed of trust covering all or any portion

 

38

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

of the Demised Premises shall enter into a commercially reasonable
subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement (the “SNDA”) with Tenant
and Landlord on such lender’s customary form. If Tenant, Landlord and such
lender cannot agree upon the form of SNDA, then in all cases, Tenant, Landlord
and such lender shall execute the form of SNDA set forth in Exhibit “H” attached
hereto and by this reference incorporated herein.

in default or whether the party providing such statement has any claims or
demands against the other party hereto (and, if so, the default, claim and/or
demand shall be specified), and such other information relating to the status of
this Lease as may be reasonably requested by the requesting party.

 

24.          RESERVATION OF LANDLORD’S RIGHTS.  Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, Landlord explicitly reserves the following rights
(subject, however, to the applicable limitations and conditions thereon as are
expressly set forth in this Lease, and provided that Landlord agrees to use
commercially reasonable efforts not to materially interfere with Tenant’s
business operations in the Demised Premises, which shall be deemed to include,
but not limited to, performing any work hereunder outside normal business hours
provided Tenant allows Landlord to access the Demised Premises during such
times):

 

(a)          to temporarily close doors, entrance ways, corridors or any other
public areas of the Building in connection with Landlord’s performance of its
express obligations under this Lease to decorate or to make required repairs, or
permitted alterations, additions or improvements, whether structural or
otherwise, in and about the Property, including the Building and the Common
Areas, or temporarily suspend services or the use of facilities in connection
with any such work, so long as there shall be no interruption, other than to a
de minimus extent, of Tenant’s access to the Demised Premises;

 

(b)          to regulate delivery of supplies and the usage of common loading
docks, receiving areas and freight elevators, if any (subject, however, to the
understanding that such right of Landlord hereunder shall not extend or apply
to, or otherwise affect or limit, Tenant’s right to the exclusive use of the
loading dock, receiving area and freight elevator as hereinafter provided);

 

(c)          to enter the Demised Premises at reasonable times during Tenant’s
usual business hours when Tenant’s management personnel are present, upon prior
written notice to Tenant (Landlord shall provide at least three (3) days prior
written notice if Tenant is forced to relocate individuals in the Demised
Premises due to Landlord exercising its rights hereunder), to inspect the
Demised Premises and to make

 

39

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

repairs or alterations to the Demised Premises or other portions of the Building
(including other tenants’ premises) as Landlord shall be required or shall have
the right to make pursuant to the express provisions of this Lease;

 

(d)          to erect, use and maintain pipes, ducts, wiring and conduits, and
appurtenances thereto, in and through the Demised Premises in reasonable
locations, provided that Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to avoid material
interference to the conduct of Tenant’s business operations therein;

 

(e)          to utilize the roofs, telephone, electrical and janitorial closets,
equipment rooms, building risers and similar areas that are used by Landlord for
the provision of Building services; and

 

(f)           to show the Demised Premises, at reasonable times during Tenant’s
usual business hours when Tenant’s management personnel are present, upon prior
written notice to Tenant, to prospective mortgagees and purchasers and, during
the six (6) months prior to expiration of the Term, to prospective tenants.

 

25.          EXPIRATION OF TERM; HOLDING-OVER. Upon or prior to the expiration
or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall remove Tenant’s goods and
effects and those of any other person claiming under Tenant, and quit and
deliver up the Demised Premises to Landlord peaceably and quietly in as good
order and condition as existed at the inception of the Term, reasonable use and
wear thereof, damage from fire and extended coverage type risks, the effects of
any condemnation or taking, and repairs which are Landlord’s obligation
excepted. Goods and effects not removed by Tenant within ten (10) days after the
giving of written notice specifying the continued presence thereof after the
termination of this Lease, however terminated, shall be considered abandoned and
Landlord may dispose of and/or store the same as it deems expedient, the
reasonable and actual out-of-pocket cost thereof to be charged to Tenant. In
removing said goods and effects, Tenant shall use commercially reasonable
efforts not to interfere with any construction being performed by Landlord in
the Demised Premises. Should Tenant continue to occupy the Demised Premises
after the expiration of the Term, including any renewal or renewals thereof,
such tenancy shall (without limitation of any of Landlord’s rights or remedies
therefor) be one at sufferance at a monthly rental equal to one hundred fifty
percent (150%) of the Rent payable for the last full month of the Term. No
holdover by Tenant or payment by Tenant after the expiration of the Term of this
Lease shall be construed to extend the Term or prevent Landlord from seeking
immediate recovery of the Demised Premises by summary proceedings or otherwise.
In the event that Landlord is unable to deliver possession of the Demised
Premises to a new tenant or to perform improvements for a new tenant as a result
of any holdover by Tenant continuing after thirty (30) days after receipt of
Landlord’s notice to vacate (which notice to vacate shall notify Tenant that its
failure to timely vacate the Demised Premises may subject the Tenant to
liability for consequential damages), Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for all
damages, including, without limitation, consequential damages, that Landlord
suffers as a result of Tenant’s holdover. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant
shall have the right to extend the Term for up to one (1), two (2) or three
(3) months by providing Landlord with nine (9) months

 

40

or franchise tax imposed upon Landlord.

 

29.          LANDLORD’S TITLE AND QUIET ENJOYMENT.  Landlord represents and
warrants to Tenant that Landlord has the right and lawful authority to enter

first sentence of this Section and the time period set forth in the second
sentence of this Section shall have expired.

 

31.          EXPANSION OPTION.  So long as this Lease shall remain in full force
and effect at the time of exercise thereof by Tenant, Landlord hereby grants
Tenant the right (the “Expansion Option”) to lease an additional 39,000 rentable
square feet of space as shown on Exhibit “E” attached hereto and made a part
hereof (the “Expansion Space”), subject to the following terms and conditions:

 

(a)          In the event that Tenant desires to exercise the Expansion Option,
Tenant shall provide Landlord with written notice (the “Expansion Exercise
Notice”) on or before the earlier of (i) the date that is ten (10) days after
Landlord provided written notice to Tenant that it has found a party interested
in leasing such space or (ii) the expiration of the second (2nd) Lease Year (the
“Exercise Deadline”) of Tenant’s election to exercise the Expansion Option;
provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Tenant
shall have elected not to provide Landlord with an Expansion Exercise Notice
pursuant to the provisions of clause “i” hereinbefore and Landlord ultimately
does not enter into a lease for such space with such interested party, then
Tenant’s rights to the Expansion Option under this Section 31 (a) shall be
reinstated and Landlord shall be obligated to give another such notice to Tenant
at such time prior to the expiration of the second (2nd) Lease Year as Landlord
shall again have found a party interested in leasing such space (with the
further understanding that such reinstatement shall also continue to apply in
any such subsequent situation where Landlord ultimately does not enter into a
lease for such space with such subsequent interested party).

 

(b)          In the event Tenant elects to lease the Expansion Space by giving
Landlord written notice pursuant to Section 31 (a) herein, then all other terms
and conditions of the Lease shall apply to the Expansion Space except that
(i) the Annual Base Rent with respect to Expansion Space for the balance of the
Initial Term shall be as determined by subparagraph (c) below; (ii) the Annual
Base Rent with respect to Expansion Space for any Renewal Term, if applicable,
shall be at the same base rental rate (on a dollars per square foot basis)
payable with respect to the balance of the Demised Premises pursuant to
Section 1(f) hereof; (iii) Tenant’s Fraction with respect to Operating Expenses
shall be increased to take into account the additional square footage of the
Expansion Space and all other figures in the Lease affected by the addition of
such square footage shall be adjusted accordingly; and (iv) Tenant shall not be
entitled to any allowances, credits, options or other concessions with respect
to the Expansion Space, except as follows: Landlord shall provide a contribution
toward the cost of constructing improvements to the Expansion Space (with the
amount of such contribution be calculated by applying to the rentable square
footage of the Expansion Space the same amount per rentable square foot as the
amount of the Budgeted Total TI Costs provided for in Section 3(c) hereinabove
applied to the rentable square footage of the original Demised Premises
(appropriately decreased based on the amount of time remaining in the Term i.e.,
the rate per square foot of rentable square footage of the

 

42

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Demised Premises applicable to the original Budgeted Total TI Costs shall be
pro-rated using a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of months
remaining in the Initial Term from and after the date of the giving of the
Expansion Exercise Notice and the denominator of which shall be the total number
of months contained within the Initial Term.

 

(c)          Commencing on the “Expansion Space Commencement Date” (as such term
is hereinafter defined), the Annual Base Rent payable with respect to the
Expansion Space during the remainder of the Initial Term shall be: Seventeen
Dollars ($17.00) per rentable square foot for the first 30,000 rentable square
feet (or total rentable square feet remaining in the Building less 9,000
rentable square feet, whichever is less) and Nine Dollars ($9.00) per rentable
square foot for the remaining 9,000 rentable square feet, each of which amounts
shall increase by One Dollar ($1.00) per rentable square foot every three
(3) years during the remainder of the Initial Term commencing on date which is
(i) the third (3rd) anniversary of the Expansion Space Commencement Date, if the
Expansion Space Commencement Date is the first day of a calendar month, or (ii)
the first day of the calendar month next following the third (3rd) anniversary
of the Expansion Space Commencement Date, if the Expansion Space Commencement
Date is any day other than the first day of a calendar month.

 

(d)          Except for any allowances set forth in Section 31(b)(iv) herein and
the minimum base building work to be performed by Landlord pursuant to
Exhibit “M” attached hereto, Tenant shall perform, at its sole cost and expense,
all improvements which Tenant deems necessary or desirable for Tenant’s initial
occupancy thereof, which improvements shall be subject to the prior written
approval of Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned, or delayed. All contractors utilized for the performance of such
improvements shall be subject to the prior written approval of Landlord (which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), and all
work shall be performed in accordance with the Expansion Plans (as hereinafter
defined) in a good and workmanlike manner and in accordance with all applicable
laws. Prior to the commencement of any work within the Expansion Space, Tenant
shall submit to Landlord, for Landlord’s prior approval, proposed plans and
specifications (the “Proposed Expansion Plans”) for Tenant’s proposed
improvements to the Expansion Space, which plans shall be prepared by a
registered architect licensed to do business within the State in which the
Property is located. The Proposed Expansion Plans shall include all information
and specifications necessary for Landlord to fully review the work described
therein and shall conform to all applicable laws and requirements of public
authorities and insurance underwriters’ requirements. If Landlord disapproves
the Proposed Expansion Plans in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this
Section, Landlord shall state specifically the reasons for such disapproval, and
Tenant shall cause its architects to promptly make any changes in the Proposed
Expansion Plans reasonably required by Landlord. The Proposed Expansion Plans,
as finally approved by Landlord, are referred to herein as the “Expansion
Plans”. All work described in the Expansion Plans is referred to herein as the
“Expansion Space Improvements”.

 

(e)          In the event that Tenant exercises the Expansion Option in

 

43

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

accordance with this Section, the term of this Lease as it relates to Expansion
Space shall commence on the earlier of; (i) Tenant’s occupancy of all or any
portion of the Expansion Space for the conduct of Tenant’s business, and
(ii) one hundred eighty (180) days after the delivery of the Exercise Notice
(the “Expansion Space Commencement Date”) and shall expire coterminous with the
Expiration Date of this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Expansion
Space Commencement Date has not occurred because of the holding over or
retention of possession of any tenant or occupant, or for any other reason,
Landlord shall not be subject to any liability to Tenant, but, in any event, the
180-day period set forth in clause (ii) of the preceding sentence shall not
commence until the Expansion Space is delivered to the Tenant.

 

(f)           In the event that Tenant exercises the Expansion Option in
accordance with this Section, Landlord and Tenant shall, within forty-five (45)
days thereafter, execute an amendment to this Lease memorializing Tenant’s lease
of the Expansion Space under the terms set forth herein. Tenant shall commence
payment of Rent with respect to the Expansion Space as of the Expansion Space
Commencement Date.

 

(g)          If Tenant fails to exercise its Expansion Option strictly in
accordance with the provisions of this Section, then Landlord shall have the
right to lease such Expansion Space to any other party(-ies) with no further
obligation to lease such space to Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Section.

 

(h)          In the event that Tenant have elected not to provide Landlord with
an Expansion Exercise Notice pursuant to the provisions of Section 31 (a) and
Landlord shall subsequently arrive at agreement on final terms of a proposed
lease with the party interested in leasing such space in respect of which
Landlord had given written notice to Tenant pursuant to the provisions of clause
“i” of Section 31 (a), then Landlord shall give Tenant a Written Proposal
setting forth such final terms of agreement and Tenant shall thereupon have the
same rights to lease such space pursuant to the provisions of Section 33 as if
the same were deemed “First Refusal Space” thereunder. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in the event Tenant elects to lease the Expansion Space on the terms
and conditions set forth in such Written Proposal in the event that after having
elected not to provide Landlord with an Expansion Exercise Notice pursuant to
the provisions of Section 31 (a) Tenant shall subsequently elect to lease the
Expansion Space pursuant to the provisions of Section 33, then the terms and
conditions of the Lease as they relate to the Expansion Space shall be governed
by Section 33 herein.

 

32.          RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER.  So long as this Lease shall remain in full
force and effect at the time of exercise thereof by Tenant, Tenant shall have a
one-time right of first offer (the “Right of First Offer”) to lease other
previously leased space available in the Building (the “First Offer Space”)
after the Exercise Deadline, upon the following terms and conditions:

 

(a)          In the event that Landlord anticipates that all or any portion of
the First Offer Space may become available during the Term after the Exercise
Deadline, Landlord shall give Tenant written notice of the availability of all
or such portion of the

 

44

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

First Offer Space, as the case may be (the “Offered Space”), setting forth the
following terms and conditions (the “Landlord’s Availability Notice”): (i) the
Annual Base Rental rate for the Offered Space shall equal to the Annual Base
Rent for the remainder of the Demised Premises as set forth in
Section 1(f) hereinabove; and (ii) the Term for the Offered Space will be
co-terminous with the remainder of the Demised Premises. If Tenant shall elect
to lease the Offered Space, then within twenty (20) days after Tenant’s receipt
of Landlord’s Availability Notice, Tenant must give Landlord written notice (the
“First Offer Exercise Notice”) pursuant to which Tenant shall elect to lease the
entire Offered Space on the terms and conditions set forth in Landlord’s
Availability Notice. If Tenant fails to give such First Offer Exercise Notice
within such twenty (20) day period, then Tenant shall be deemed to have declined
to lease the Offered Space at the time of the giving of such Landlord’s
Availability Notice; and in such event; then Landlord shall be free to lease the
Offered Space to any other party(ies) without any further obligation to Tenant
hereunder; however, Tenant shall retain its first offer rights hereunder with
respect to any part of the First Offer Space (i) that was not covered by
Landlord’s Availability Notice and (ii) that was not covered by any previous
Landlord’s Availability Notice.

 

(b)          If Tenant elects to lease the Offered Space in accordance with
subparagraph (a) above (upon such election, the “Additional Space”), then
Landlord and Tenant shall execute an amendment to the Lease to provide for the
inclusion of the Additional Space under the terms and conditions set forth in
Landlord’s Availability Notice. Except as provided in Landlord’s Availability
Notice, all other terms and conditions of the Lease shall apply to the
Additional Space except that: (i) Tenant’s Fraction with respect to Operating
Expenses shall be increased to take into account the square footage of the
Additional Space and all other terms of the Lease affected by the addition of
such square footage shall be adjusted accordingly, (ii) Landlord shall not be
required to perform any improvements to the Additional Space unless specifically
provided for in Landlord’s Availability Notice, and (iii) Tenant shall not be
entitled to any allowances, credits, options or other concessions with respect
to the Additional Space unless specifically provided for in Landlord’s
Availability Notice.

 

(c)          The effective date of the addition of the Additional Space to the
Demised Premises shall be the date that Landlord delivers possession of the
Additional Space to Tenant in accordance with the terms of Landlord’s
Availability Notice.

 

(d)          Except as otherwise provided in Landlord’s Availability Notice,
Tenant agrees to accept the Additional Space in its “AS IS” condition, in the
then current physical state and condition thereof, without any representation or
warranty by Landlord.

 

33.          RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL.  So long as this Lease shall remain in full
force and effect at the time of exercise thereof by Tenant, and provided Tenant
has been deemed to have declined to lease the Offered Space as provided for in
Section 32 herein, then Tenant shall have a right of first refusal to lease
other previously leased space available in the Building (the “First Refusal
Space”) after the Exercise Deadline, upon the following terms and conditions:

 

45

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

(a)          In the event that Landlord receives or intends to send a written
offer to lease all or any portion of the First Refusal Space (the “First Refusal
Offered Space”) to any third party during the Term, Landlord shall provide
Tenant with a copy of said proposal (the “Written Proposal”), which Written
Proposal shall set forth the terms and conditions (including, without
limitation, the rental rate and the duration of the proposed term, etc.) upon
which Landlord is willing to lease the First Refusal Offered Space. Within ten
(10) days after Tenant’s receipt of the Written Proposal, Tenant must give
Landlord written notice pursuant to which Tenant shall elect either: (i) to
lease the entire First Refusal Offered Space on the terms and conditions set
forth in the Written Proposal, or (ii) to decline to lease the First Refusal
Offered Space. If Tenant fails to elect clause (i) within such ten (10) day
period, then Tenant shall be deemed to have declined to lease the First Refusal
Offered Space. In the event that Tenant declines (or s deemed to have declined)
to lease the First Refusal Offered Space, then Landlord shall be free to lease
the First Refusal Offered Space to any other party(ies) without any further
obligation to Tenant hereunder; however, Tenant shall retain its first refusal
rights hereunder with respect to any part of the First Refusal Space that was
not: (i) covered by the Written Proposal; or (ii) covered by any previous
Written Proposal.

 

(b)          If Tenant elects to lease the First Refusal Offered Space in
accordance with subparagraph (a) above (upon such election, the “First Refusal
Additional Space”), then Landlord and Tenant shall execute an amendment to the
Lease to provide for the inclusion of the First Refusal Additional Space under
the terms and conditions set forth in the Written Proposal. Except as provided
in the Written Proposal, all other terms and conditions of the Lease shall apply
to the First Refusal Additional Space except that: (i) Tenant’s Fraction with
respect to Operating Expenses shall be increased to take into account the square
footage of the First Refusal Additional Space and all other terms of the Lease
affected by the addition of such square footage shall be adjusted accordingly;
(ii) Landlord shall not be required to perform any improvements to the First
Refusal Additional Space unless specifically provided for in the Written
Proposal; and (iii) Tenant shall not be entitled to any allowances, credits,
options or other concessions with respect to the First Refusal Additional Space
unless specifically provided for in the Written Proposal.

 

(c)          The effective date of the addition of the First Refusal Additional
Space to the Demised Premises shall be the date that Landlord delivers
possession of the First Refusal Additional Space to Tenant in accordance with
the terms of the Written Proposal.

 

(d)          Except as otherwise provided in the Written Proposal, Tenant agrees
to accept the First Refusal Additional Space in its “AS IS” condition, in the
then current physical state and condition thereof, without any representation or
warranty by Landlord.

 

(e)          Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Tenant’s Right of
First Refusal hereunder is subject to all expansion, extension, renewal, first
offer, first refusal and other rights to lease, as applicable, which Landlord
(or any predecessor to Landlord’s interest in the Property) has granted to other
tenants of the Building prior to

 

46

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

the date of this Lease. Thus, Landlord’s Written Proposal will be delivered to
Tenant only after Landlord has appropriately notified and received negative
responses from all other tenants with rights in the First Refusal Space superior
to Tenant’s.

 

34.          RENEWAL OPTIONS.  Except if Tenant elects to extend the term in
accordance with Section 25 hereinabove, Tenant shall have the option to extend
the Term for two (2) separate, consecutive renewal periods of five (5) years
each (each, a “Renewal Option”), under and subject to the following terms and
conditions:

 

(a)          The first renewal term (the “First Renewal Term”) shall be for a
five (5) year period commencing on the day immediately following the expiration
date of the Initial Term and expiring at midnight on the day immediately
preceding the fifth (5th) anniversary thereof. The second renewal term (the
“Second Renewal Term”) shall be for a five (5) year period commencing on the day
immediately following the expiration date of the First Renewal Term and expiring
at midnight on the day immediately preceding the fifth (5th) anniversary
thereof. The First Renewal Term and the Second Renewal Term are collectively
referred to as the “Renewal Terms”. If Tenant fails to exercise any Renewal
Option, all subsequent Renewal Options shall be null and void and of no further
force and effect.

 

(b)          Tenant must exercise each Renewal Option, if at all, by written
notice to Landlord delivered at least seven (7) months prior to the expiration
date of the then current Term of this Lease; provided, however, that in order to
avoid any forfeiture or inadvertent lapse of any right to extend or renew as
aforesaid, if Tenant shall not have given notice of such election to Landlord by
such date in respect of any Renewal Term and shall not have given Landlord prior
written notice of intention not to extend or renew as aforesaid, then Tenant’s
right to exercise such option shall nevertheless continue, as shall its tenancy
hereunder (under the same terms and conditions as theretofore in effect and
notwithstanding that the Lease Term shall have expired), until the date which is
ten (10) business days after Landlord shall have given notice to Tenant that
Tenant has failed to give its notice of such election, and Tenant’s time to give
notice of such election shall continue until the expiration of such ten
(10) business day period after the giving of such notice from Landlord. Upon the
giving of notice of renewal and extension in accordance with the foregoing
provisions of this Section, the Term shall thereupon be renewed and extended for
such Renewal Term in accordance with such notice without further act by Landlord
or Tenant, the same as if such notice had been timely given hereunder.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, within ten (10) days after the request of either
party after the exercise of any of said options, Landlord and Tenant shall
execute, acknowledge and deliver to each other duplicate originals of an
agreement in recordable form confirming the extension of the Term for the
Renewal Term.

 

(c)          Intentionally Deleted.

 

(d)          Each Renewal Term shall be on the same terms and conditions
contained in this Lease, except that (i) the Annual Base Rent shall be as
specified in Section 1(f) hereinabove with respect to the applicable Renewal
Term, and (ii) Tenant

 

47

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

shall not be entitled to any allowances or other concessions with respect to the
Renewal Terms except for a tenant improvement allowance of Ten Dollars ($10.00)
per rentable square foot of the then-leased Demised Premises at the commencement
of each Renewal Term, which must be used towards improvements (including,
without limitation, cosmetic refurbishment) to the Demised Premises (which (if
required under Section 10) are approved by Landlord in writing, such approval
not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and shall be paid to
Tenant after receipt of invoices and lien waivers related to such improvements.

 

(e)          Except for the specific Renewal Options set forth above, there
shall be no further privilege of renewal.

 

35.          SATELLITE EQUIPMENT.  Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense,
shall have the non-exclusive right to locate a satellite dish and related
communications equipment (collectively, the “Satellite Equipment”) on the roof
of the Building in a location reasonably approved by Landlord, but in no event
to exceed 100 square feet of roof area. All roof work shall be coordinated with
Landlord’s roofing contractor and all plans for equipment and installation shall
be subject to the review and approval of Landlord, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned provided that the installations
are properly designed to limit potential damage or excessive stress of the roof
areas and that the proposed Satellite Equipment is for the use of the Tenant in
the normal course of its business. Should Landlord have a roof bond in effect,
Tenant shall utilize Landlord’s roofing contractor for any roof penetrations
necessary for installation; provided that such roofing contractor’s charges for
such work shall be reasonably competitive with the prevailing rates therefor in
the area in which the Building is located. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord’s
review and approval of any plans for the Satellite Equipment shall not
constitute an acknowledgement by Landlord that, without limitation, the proposed
Satellite Equipment complies with all applicable laws and requirements, will not
damage the roof areas, or will not cause any Interference (as hereinafter
defined), all of which shall be Tenant’s responsibility to ensure
notwithstanding any approval by Landlord as to such plans. All costs directly
relating to the Satellite Equipment shall be borne solely by Tenant, including,
without limitation, all costs related to: (i) the installation of the Satellite
Equipment, including all required permits and approvals therefor; (ii) the
operation, maintenance, repair and/or replacement of the Satellite Equipment
throughout the Term; (iii) all utilities (including consumption and installation
costs); (iv) compliance with all applicable legal requirements of governmental
authorities; (v) taxes levied on the Satellite Equipment, if any; (vi) removal
of the Satellite Equipment upon the expiration or earlier termination of this
Lease and the repair of any damage occasioned thereby; (vi) repairs to the roof
caused by the Satellite Equipment or installation thereof. The operation of
Satellite Equipment shall not cause any interference to: (i) the Building or the
operation thereof; (ii) the equipment of Landlord and any tenants, licensees or
occupants which are in existence prior to the date of Tenant’s installation of
its Satellite Equipment; or (iii) the reception or transmission of communication
signals by or from any antenna, satellite dishes or similar equipment installed
by Landlord or any tenants, licensees or occupants that have been installed
prior to the date of Tenant’s installation of its Satellite Equipment
(collectively, “Interference”). In the event of any such Interference, Tenant

 

48

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

shall, within forty-eight (48) hours after written notice from Landlord
specifying in reasonable detail the nature of such interference, fully remedy
such interference at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, and Tenant shall further
indemnify, defend and hold Landlord, its agents and employees harmless from and
against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, costs and expenses (including,
without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees) suffered or incurred by Landlord
directly arising out of or in any way directly related to Tenant’s use and
operation of the Satellite Equipment. Upon the expiration or earlier termination
of this Lease, Tenant shall remove all Satellite Equipment and repair all damage
occasioned thereby, which obligation shall survive the expiration or earlier
termination of the Lease. In the event that any of the Satellite Equipment is
not so removed within fifteen (15) days after notice from Landlord to Tenant
after such expiration or earlier termination of this Lease or any damage caused
by the removal is not so restored, the Satellite Equipment shall be considered
abandoned and Landlord may use, remove, dispose of, and/or store the Satellite
Equipment, or repair such damage, as Landlord determines in its sole discretion,
the cost of such removal, disposal, storage and/or repair to be charged to
Tenant, Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 13 to the contrary, Tenant
shall not separately sublease any portion of the roof area utilized by Tenant
hereunder to any unaffiliated third parties (subject, however, to the
understanding that any subtenant of Tenant occupying the Demised Premises or any
portion thereof under a sublease entered into pursuant to the provisions of
Section 13 hereof shall be entitled to similar rights hereunder with respect to
the installation, use and operation of Satellite Equipment as hereinbefore
provided in this Section).

 

36.          SPACE PLANNING, DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS. Landlord shall
reimburse Tenant for Tenant’s actual and reasonable architect/design firm costs,
such amount not to exceed $0.10 per rentable square foot of the Demised
Premises. The foregoing amount shall be paid to Tenant upon the later of:
(i) thirty (30) days of receipt of an invoice for same; and (ii) the
Commencement Date.

 

37.          PARKING. Landlord shall provide Tenant, throughout the Term, with
the use of up to 580 parking spaces within the parking area (the “Parking Area”)

termination of this Lease or any damage caused by the removal is not so

Lease. Landlord shall not permit any obstruction of visibility to Tenant’s

walls of the Demised Premises and Landlord agrees that it shall not affix, nor
shall Landlord permit or suffer any other party (including, without limitation,
any other tenant or occupant of other portions of the Building) to affix any
sign(s) to the roof of the Building), It is expressly understood and agreed
that, while this Lease remains in full force and effect, no other tenant or
occupant of the Building or the Property shall be entitled to place signage upon
the exterior of the Building or elsewhere in any exterior areas of the Property,
nor shall Landlord place or install any signage upon the exterior of the
Building or elsewhere in any exterior areas of the Property identifying any
other such tenant or occupant. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, it is understood and agreed that in the event that Landlord

in this Lease, it is expressly understood and agreed that Landlord shall have no
rights hereunder to relocate Tenant (or any subtenant of Tenant) from all or any
portion of the Demised Premises to any other location within the Building or
elsewhere.

 

43.          TENANT’S EXCLUSIVE LOADING DOCK, RECEIVING AREA AND FREIGHT

is understood and agreed that throughout the Term Tenant, at no additional cost
to Tenant hereunder, shall have exclusive use of the loading dock, receiving
area and freight elevator shown on Exhibit “K” attached hereto, with such use to
be

 

51

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

available to Tenant on a 24 hour per day, seven day per week basis (except for
those periods of time when the use of such loading dock, receiving area and
freight elevator may be unavailable to Tenant in order for Landlord to carry out
its repair and maintenance obligations hereunder and as may be restricted by
governmental authority). Notwithstanding such exclusive use by Tenant, it is
further understood and agreed that such loading dock, receiving area and freight
elevator shall be maintained and repaired by Landlord in the same manner as if
the same had remained Common Areas with the cost of such maintenance and repair
included in Operating Expenses; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the
foregoing, it is understood and agreed that, for the purposes of calculating
“Tenant’s Share of Increases in Operating Expenses” pursuant to the provisions
of Section 7(a) above, Tenant shall be required to pay one hundred percent
(100%) of the cost of all increases in such costs to maintain and repair such
exclusive loading dock, receiving area and freight elevator over the costs
thereof for the Base Year (rather than a Tenant’s Share thereof based on
Tenant’s Fraction, as the same applies to all other Increases in Operating
Expenses).

 

44.          MOVING OF TENANT’S PROPERTY IN BUILDING.  Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained in this Lease, it is understood and agreed that
throughout the Term Tenant shall have the right to move its property into and

during the Term it shall provide and maintain throughout the Building, a fire

Operating Expenses and subject to reimbursement by Tenant with respect to
Tenant’s obligation to pay Tenant’s Share of Increases in Operating Expenses as
provided in Section 7 herein).

 

46.          ENERGY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM.  Landlord agrees that at all times during
the Term it shall provide and maintain throughout the Building a computerized
energy management system which shall function on a 24 hour per day, 365 day per

cost of which services shall included in Operating Expenses and be subject to
reimbursement by Tenant with respect to Tenant’s obligation to pay Tenant’s
Share of Increases in Operating Expenses as provided in Section 7 herein).

 

47.          RESTRICTIONS ON USE OF TENANT’S TRADE NAMES. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, Tenant shall have absolute,
sole and complete control over the use of the name “Lenox” and over the use of
any other tradenames or trademarks (and any logos and insignias) used in
connection with the business of Tenant and/or its parent and/or of any
subsidiaries or affiliates of Tenant and/or its parent; and neither Landlord nor
its affiliates, its mortgagees or any merchants’ association or any other entity
not solely controlled by Tenant and/or its parent and/or any subsidiaries or
affiliates of Tenant and/or its parent,

 

52

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

shall at any time prior to, during or after the term of this Lease use any of
such tradenames, trademarks, logos or insignias in any manner without Tenant’s
prior written consent in each instance (which consent may be given or withheld
by Tenant in Tenant’s sole and absolute discretion), except that Landlord shall
have the right to list “Lenox” as one of Landlord’s tenants in its promotional
materials and to utilize photographs of the Building, including Tenant’s
exterior signage, if any, on the Building, in its promotional materials,
provided, however, in no event will Landlord name or otherwise identify the
Building as the “Lenox Building” or by any similar name.

 

48.         WAIVER OF DISTRAINT. Landlord hereby expressly waives any and all
rights granted by or under any present or future laws to levy or distrain for
rent, in arrears, in advance or both, upon all goods, merchandise, equipment,
fixtures, furniture and other personal property of Tenant or any subtenant or
licensee of Tenant in the Demised Premises, delivered or to be delivered
thereto.

50.          INTENTIONALLY DELETED.

 

51.          CONSENT OR APPROVAL OF LANDLORD AND TENANT.

 

(a)          Except as otherwise set forth in this Lease, whenever the consent
or approval of Landlord is referred to or is a condition precedent to the taking
of any action by Tenant, Landlord covenants not to unreasonably withhold,
condition or delay such consent or approval. Whenever Tenant is required under
this Lease to do anything to the satisfaction of Landlord, the reasonable
satisfaction of Landlord shall be deemed sufficient.

 

(b)          Except as otherwise set forth in this Lease, whenever the consent
or approval of Tenant is referred to or is a condition precedent to the taking
of any action by Landlord, Tenant covenants not to unreasonably withhold,
condition or delay such consent or approval. Whenever Landlord is required under
this Lease to do anything to the satisfaction of Tenant, the reasonable
satisfaction of Tenant shall be deemed sufficient.

 

52.          RENT NOTICES. If the ownership of the Demised Premises or the name
or address of the party entitled to receive the rent shall be changed, Tenant
may, until receipt of proper notice of such change from the party entitled to
receive the rent immediately preceding such change, continue to pay the rent and
additional rent to the party to which, and in the manner in which, the last
preceding installment of rent was paid, and such payments shall be deemed made
to Landlord until Tenant receives proper notice of such change.

 

53.          WAIVER.  Failure on the part of either party to complain of any
action or non-action on the part of the other party, no matter how long the same
may continue, shall not be deemed to be a waiver by either party of any of its
rights hereunder. No waiver at any time of any of the provisions hereof by
either party shall be construed as a waiver of any of the other provisions
hereof, and a waiver at any time of any of the

 

53

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

provision(s) hereof shall not be construed as a waiver at any subsequent time of
the same provision(s). The consent or approval of either party to or of any
action by the other party requiring consent or approval of the first party shall
not be deemed to waive or render unnecessary such consent or approval to or of
any subsequent similar act by said party

 

54.          SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS.  The provisions of this Lease, except as
herein otherwise specifically provided, shall extend to, bind and inure to the
benefit of the parties hereto and their respective personal representatives,
heirs, successors and assigns.

 

55.          LANDLORD’S DEFAULT OR FAILURE.  If Landlord shall be in default
hereunder and such failure continues for more than thirty (30) days after
written notice (except that only reasonable notice based on the circumstances
need be given in case of emergency) thereof from Tenant (or, if the default is
of such a nature that it cannot reasonably be cured within such thirty (30) day
period, then Landlord shall be entitled to such additional time as may be
reasonably necessary to cure such default so long as Landlord diligently
continues to cure such default), then, Tenant shall have the right, but not the
obligation, to cure such default, and to recover from Landlord all reasonable
out of pocket costs thereof (including any reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred
by Tenant (plus interest at the Prime Rate) which were necessary to cure such
default (the “Cure Costs”). Tenant shall provide Landlord with all back-up
information reasonably requested by Landlord with respect to Tenant’s Cure
Costs. If Landlord fails to pay Tenant’s Cure Costs within thirty (30) days
after Tenant’s written request for payment and receipt by Landlord of the
back-up documentation reasonably requested by Landlord, then Tenant shall have
the right to setoff any amounts which are not the subject of a bona fide, good
faith dispute by Landlord against the next installment(s) of Base Rent payable
by Tenant hereunder; provided, however, that in no event shall the amount setoff
by Tenant in any calendar month exceed fifteen percent (15%) of the Base Rent
payable by Tenant for such calendar month. Nothing herein shall be construed as
a waiver by Landlord of Landlord’s right to contest the validity of any amounts
setoff by Tenant pursuant to this Section, and Landlord expressly reserves all
rights and remedies available to Landlord hereunder for any amounts improperly
setoff by Tenant pursuant to this Section.

 

56.          INTENTIONALLY DELETED.

Lease (except to the extent that it is understood that the provisions of this

provisions of clauses “i”, “ii” and “iii” Section 1(t) above).

 

58.          EXTERMINATION.  Landlord shall be responsible for the prompt

respect to Tenant’s obligation to pay Tenant’s Share of Increases in Operating
Expenses as provided in Section 7 herein).

Premises, may be placed or located and (ii) Tenant shall have the right to use
any shafts, risers and conduits connecting the Demised Premises with other parts
of the Building, and/or with the exterior thereof, for the installation and
maintenance of cables, ducts, conduits, flues, pipes and other devices, and for
supplementary heating, ventilating and/or air conditioning equipment and for
other facilities consistent with Tenant’s use of the Demised Premises and other
portions of the Building, so long as the installation and maintenance by Tenant
of any of the same shall not unreasonably interfere with the operation of the
Building or with other tenants’ use and enjoyment of the Building and provided
that Tenant shall give prior notice to Landlord of any such installation in
order that Landlord may be assured that such installation will not so interfere.

the payment of Rent or other sums payable by either party or any period of time
for the written exercise of an option or right by either party.

be required by law for recordation. In the event that a Memorandum of Lease had
theretofore been recorded in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this
Section, upon Landlord’s written request after the expiration or earlier
termination of this Lease, Tenant shall execute a termination of such Memorandum
of Lease or a short form of lease in a recordable form.

and every provision of this Lease shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest
extent permitted by law.

the laws of the State in which the Property is located, without giving effect to

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

SUBORDINATION, NON-DISTURBANCE AND ATTORNMENT AGREEMENT

 

THIS SUBORDINATION, NON-DISTURBANCE AND ATTORNMENT AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”)
is made as of the       day of December, 2005, by and among MANUFACTURERS AND
TRADERS TRUST COMPANY, One M&T Plaza, Buffalo, New York 14240, Attention: Office
of the General Counsel (the “Lender”), and LENOX, INCORPORATED, a New Jersey
corporation, with an address at 100 Lenox Drive, Lawrenceville, New Jersey
08648, Attention: Lenox Counsel (the “Tenant”) and ISLAND VIEW TCI, L.P., a
Pennsylvania limited partnership, with an address at c/o Preferred Real Estate
Investments, Inc., 1001 E. Hector Street, Suite 100, Conshohocken, Pennsylvania
19428, Attention: Legal Department (the “Landlord”).

 

WHEREAS, the undersigned Tenant, is the lessee of certain leased premises (the
“Premises”), located at that certain property (the “Property) known as Island
View Crossing, 1414 Radcliffe Street, Bristol, Pennsylvania, as said Premises
are identified and leased to Tenant under that certain Lease between Tenant and
the Landlord, dated as of December        , 2005 (as amended, extended or
modified, the “Lease”); and

 

WHEREAS, Lender and Landlord have entered into a certain loan transaction on or
about                , 2003, in a principal amount of up to $              (the
“Loan”) pursuant to which a mortgage lien on the Property have been created from
Landlord in favor of Lender (the “Mortgage”); and

 

WHEREAS, the Tenant, by this Agreement, has agreed to subordinate its leasehold
interest in the Premises to the Mortgage; and

 

WHEREAS, Lender, by this Agreement, has agreed not to disturb Tenant in the
event of foreclosure or other rights asserted by Lender under the Mortgage.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, the undersigned, intending to be legally bound hereby, for One
Dollar ($1.00) and other good and valid consideration, receipt whereof is hereby
acknowledged, hereby agrees as follows:

 

1.                                     Subordination.  That, subject to the
provisions of Paragraph 4 hereinafter, the Lease is, and all of Tenants’ rights
thereunder are and shall always be, subject and subordinate to the Mortgage, and
to all advances made or to be made thereunder and to the interest and other
charges due thereon, and all renewals, replacements, modifications,
consolidations, or extensions thereof.

 

2.                                     Termination of Lease.  (intentionally
deleted).

 

3.                                     Attornment.  In the event of any
foreclosure of the Mortgage or other acquisition of the Property by Lender, its
successors or assigns, or in the event of any conveyance of the Property to any
purchaser thereof at any foreclosure sale, Tenant will, upon receipt of
appropriate notice as to the succession of Lender or such purchaser to the
interest of Landlord under the Lease, attorn to, and recognize Lender, its
successors or assigns, or such purchaser, as the case may be, as the lessor
under the aforementioned Lease for the balance then remaining of the term of the
Lease, subject to all the terms of the Lease; and that the aforesaid provisions
shall be self-operative and no further instrument or document shall be necessary
unless required by Lender, its successor or assigns, or such purchaser.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, it is understood and
agreed that Tenant shall not be bound to perform any covenant contained in the
Lease to a greater standard than that set forth in the Lease by virtue of the
inclusion in the Mortgage of any greater such standard, and Lender shall not
have any rights to approve, prohibit or consent to the exercise by Tenant of any
of its rights under the Lease, except as in the Agreement or in the Lease
expressly provided.

 

4.                                     Agreement Not to Disturb Tenant. 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event of foreclosure or
other rights asserted under said Mortgage by the Lender, or its successors or
assigns, Lender agrees that (i) neither Lender nor any of such successors or
assigns shall name or join Tenant as a party-defendant or otherwise in any suit,
action or proceeding to enforce any rights given to Lender or such successors or
assigns pursuant to the terms, covenants or conditions contained in such

 

1

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Mortgage or any other document held by Lender or any such successors or assigns,
or any rights given to Lender or any such successors or assigns as a matter of
law; (ii) said Lease and the rights of the Tenant thereunder shall continue in
full force and effect and shall not be terminated or disturbed (whether by a
foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise), except as permitted for
default of Tenant under the Lease continuing after notice and beyond any
applicable grace period in accordance with the provisions of said Lease; and
(iii) all condemnation awards and proceeds of insurance shall be applied in the
manner provided for in the Lease.

 

5.                                     Transfer of Interests to Lender.  If the
interests of Landlord in the Property shall be transferred to and owned by
Lender by reason of foreclosure or other proceedings brought by it, or by deed
in lieu of foreclosure, or if Lender takes possession of the Property pursuant
to any provisions of any documents relating to the Loan, then: (i) Lender and
Tenant shall be directly bound to each other under all terms, covenants and
conditions of the Lease for the balance of the term thereof and for any
extensions or renewals thereof which may be exercised by Tenant, with the same
force and effect as if Lender were the Landlord under the Lease; and (ii) Tenant
does hereby attorn to Lender as its landlord, said attornment to be effective
and self-operative (without the execution of any further instruments)
immediately upon Lender succeeding to the interests of the Landlord under the
Lease; provided, however, regarding item (ii) above, that Tenant shall have
received written notice from Lender that it has succeeded to the interests of
the Landlord under the Lease. The respective rights and obligations of Tenant
and Lender upon such attornment, to the extent of the then-remaining balance of
the term of the Lease and any such extensions and renewals, shall be and are the
same as now set forth from and after Lender’s succession to the interests of the
Landlord under the Lease, and Tenant shall have the same remedies against Lender
for the breach of any agreement contained in the Lease that Tenant might have
under the Lease against Landlord if Lender had not succeeded to the interest of
Landlord; provided, however, that Lender shall not be:

 

(a)                               liable for any act or omission, or any accrued
obligation of any prior landlord (including Landlord); or

 

(b)                              subject to any defenses which Tenant might have
against any prior landlord (including Landlord) prior to the earlier to occur of
(i) the date on which ownership of the Property shall be transferred to Lender
or (ii) the date that Lender first takes possession of the Property without
ownership of the Property having otherwise been transferred to Lender, unless
relating to a default or breach continuing after the earlier to occur of (i) the
date on which ownership of the Property shall be transferred to Lender or
(ii) the date that Lender first takes possession of the Property without
ownership of the Property having otherwise been transferred to Lender; or

 

(c)                               bound by any “Annual Base Rent” (as such term
is defined in the Lease) which Tenant might have paid for more than the current
month;

 

(d)                              bound by any security deposit which Tenant may
have paid to any prior landlord (including Landlord), unless such deposit is in
an escrow or other fund available to Lender;

 

(e)                               bound by any surrender or other early
termination of the Lease (except as permitted in the Lease without Landlord’s
consent) made without the consent of Lender, or by any amendment or modification
of any of the monetary or material non-monetary provisions of the Lease made
without the consent of Lender; or

 

(f)                                 obligated to commence or complete any
construction or make any contribution toward construction or installation of any
improvements upon the Premises required under the Lease or any expansion or
rehabilitation of existing improvements thereon.

 

6.                                    Notices of Default.  Tenant shall notify
Lender in writing at the address set forth herein of the occurrence of any
default or event of default by Landlord under the Lease which would give Tenant
the right to cancel or terminate the Lease; and Tenant will grant to Lender a
reasonable time (not to exceed 90 days) in which to cure such Landlord’s default
(which time shall be at least the period of time granted to the

 

2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Landlord by the Lease), provided, however, that Lender shall, within ten
(10) business days after the giving of such notification by Tenant to Lender of
such default, give Tenant written notice of Lender’s intent to cure such
Landlord’s default and shall thereupon promptly commence the prosecution of such
cure and thereafter diligently continue the prosecution of such cure to
completion. So long as Lender shall have given notice to Tenant of Lender’s
intent to cure such default as provided in the next preceding sentence and so
long as Lender shall be prosecuting the cure of such default as provided in the
next preceding sentence, Tenant agrees that it will not terminate or cancel the
Lease on account of such default until such notice to Lender has been given, and
Lender has had the opportunity to cure any such default in accordance with the
provisions of the next preceding sentence. Should Lender fail to so notify
Tenant of Lender’s intent to cure such Landlord’s default within said ten
(10) business days or after having given any such notice shall fall to cure (or
commence to cure) such default in accordance with the foregoing provisions of
this Paragraph, then Tenant shall have all available rights and remedies
(including the right to cure Landlord’s default) under the Lease, at law and/or
in equity. It is expressly understood and agreed that the above shall not be
deemed to create any obligation of Lender to cure any such default or defaults
at any time prior to the earlier to occur of (i) the date on which ownership of
the Property shall be transferred to Lender or (ii) the date that Lender first
takes possession of the Property without ownership of the Property having
otherwise been transferred to Lender.

 

7.                                     Confirmation of Subordination.  Should
Lender, its successors or assigns, or any purchaser desire confirmation of the
subordination or the attornment, as the case may be, as is expressly provided
for in this Agreement, Tenant shall at any time or from time to time, execute
and deliver without charge such reasonable and commercially customary
Instruments and/or documents as may be reasonably requested to acknowledge such
subordination and/or agreement to attorn, in recordable form.

 

8.                                     Notices.  Whenever in this Agreement it
is provided that notice be given to or served upon any of the parties, each such
notice or demand shall be in writing, and any law or statute to the contrary
notwithstanding, shall not be effective for any purpose unless the same shall be
given or served as follows: If given or served by the Lender, by mailing the
same to the Tenant and Landlord by registered or certified mail, return receipt

addressed as herein set forth or (ii) the third (3rd) business day next

overnight courier service, as aforesaid.

 

9.                                     Waiver of Condemnation Awards. 
(intentionally deleted).

 

10.                               Obligations of Lender.  Anything herein or in
the Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that Lender shall
acquire title to the Property, Lender shall have no obligation, nor incur any
liability, beyond Lender’s then interest in the Property, and Tenant shall look
exclusively to such interest of Lender in the Property for the payment and
discharge of any obligations imposed upon Lender hereunder or under the Lease.
Tenant agrees that with respect to any money judgment which may be obtained or
secured by Tenant against Lender in connection with any ownership by Lender of
the Property, Tenant shall look solely to the estate or interest owned by Lender
in the Property, and Tenant will not collect or attempt to collect any such
judgment out of any other assets of Lender.
