first day of a month.  However, if the Term is extended by Tenant’s effective
exercise of Tenant’s right, if any, to extend the Term, the “Expiration Date”
shall be changed to the last day of the last extended period as to which Tenant

provided Tenant is in compliance with all of the terms and conditions contained
herein, and provided Tenant has not assigned this Lease or sublet all or any
portion of the Demised Premises and is itself in occupation and conducting
business in the whole of the Demised Premises in accordance with the terms of
this Lease, Tenant expressly acknowledging and agreeing that the termination
right described below is personal to the original named Tenant, Tenant shall
have a one (1) time right (“Tenant’s Termination Right”), exercisable by
delivery of irrevocable written notice (“Tenant’s Termination Notice”) given to
Landlord on or prior to the fourteenth (14th) anniversary of the Commencement

Date in accordance with Article 26 hereof.  Tenant agrees that it shall have
forever waived its right to exercise Tenant’s Termination Right if it shall fail
for any reason whatsoever to give such notice to Landlord by the Termination
Notice Date, whether such failure is inadvertent or intentional, time being of
the essence as to the exercise of Tenant’s Termination Right.  Tenant further
agrees that it shall have forever waived its right to exercise Tenant’s
Termination Right if it shall fail for any reason whatsoever to make payment of
the Termination Fee contemporaneously with the delivery of the Termination
Notice.

Commencement Date; and (iii) Thirty One and no/100 Dollars ($31.00) per square

charge or other deduction whatsoever, with respect to the Demised Premises, the
Building, the Land and/or the ownership, leasing, operation, management,
maintenance, repair, rebuilding, use or occupation thereof, or any portion
thereof, with respect to any interest of Landlord therein, except as may
otherwise expressly be provided in this Lease.

 

R  Floor Space:  As to the Demised Premises, shall be the quotient the numerator
of which is the sum of the floor area stated in square feet bounded by the
exterior faces of the exterior walls, or by the exterior or Common Area face of
any wall between the Demised Premises and any portion of the Common Areas, or by
the center line of any wall between the Demised Premises and space leased or
available to be leased to a tenant or occupant, and the denominator of which is

ARTICLE 2 - DEMISE AND TERM

 

2.01. Landlord hereby leases to Tenant, and Tenant hereby hires from Landlord,
the Demised Premises, for the Term.

 

ARTICLE 3 - RENT

 

3.01. Tenant shall pay the Fixed Rent in equal monthly installments in advance
on the first day of each and every calendar month during the Term.  If the
Commencement Date occurs on a day other than the first day of a calendar month,
the Fixed Rent for the partial calendar month at the commencement of the Term
shall be prorated.

 

3.02. The Rent shall be paid in lawful money of the United States to Landlord at
its office, or such other place, or Landlord’s agent, as Landlord shall
designate by notice to Tenant.  Tenant shall pay the Rent promptly when due
without notice or demand therefor and without any abatement, deduction or setoff
for any reason whatsoever, except as may be expressly provided in this Lease. 
If Tenant makes any payment to Landlord by check, same shall be by check of
Tenant and Landlord shall not be required to accept the check of any other
Person, and any check received by Landlord shall be deemed received subject to
collection.  If any check is mailed by Tenant, Tenant shall post such check in
sufficient time prior to the date when payment is due so that such check will be
received by Landlord on or before the date when payment is due.  Tenant shall
assume the risk of lateness or failure of delivery of the mails, and no lateness
or failure of the mails will excuse Tenant from its obligation to have made the
payment in question when required under this Lease.

 

3.03. No payment by Tenant or receipt or acceptance by Landlord of a lesser
amount than the correct Rent shall be deemed to be other than a payment on
account, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or any letter
accompanying any check or payment be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and
Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord’s right
to recover the balance or pursue any other remedy in this Lease or at law
provided.

 

3.04. If Tenant is in arrears in payment of Rent, Tenant waives Tenant’s right,
if any, to designate the items to which any payments made by Tenant are to be
credited, and Landlord may apply any payments made by Tenant to such items as
Landlord sees fit, irrespective of and notwithstanding any designation or
request by Tenant as to the items to which any such payments shall be credited.

 

3.05. In the event that any installment of Rent due hereunder shall be overdue,
a “Late Charge” equal to four percent (4%) or the maximum rate permitted by law,
whichever is less (“Late Payment Rate”) for Rent so overdue may be charged by
Landlord for each month or part thereof that the same remains overdue (“Late
Payment Rate”).  In the event that any check tendered by Tenant to Landlord is
returned for insufficient funds, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in addition to
the charge imposed by the preceding sentence, a fee of $50.00.  Any such Late
Charges if not previously paid shall, at the option of the Landlord, be added to
and become part of the next succeeding Rent

 

10

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

 

payment to be made hereunder. Notwithstanding anything herein contained to the
contrary, as to the original named Tenant and any Permitted Assignee(s) (as that
term is defined in Article 11.02 hereinbelow), the Late Charge shall be waived
once per Calendar Year provided payment is received by Landlord within ten (10)
days of its due date.

 

ARTICLE 4 - USE OF DEMISED PREMISES

 

4.01. Tenant shall use and occupy the Demised Premises for the Permitted Uses,
and Tenant shall not use or permit or suffer the use of the Demised Premises or
any part thereof for any other purpose. Landlord represents that the Demised
Premises are legally zoned for the Permitted Uses.

 

4.02. If any governmental license or permit, including a Certificate of
Occupancy shall be required for the proper and lawful conduct of Tenant’s
business in the Demised Premises or any part thereof, Tenant shall duly procure
and thereafter maintain such license or permit and submit the same to Landlord
for inspection.  Tenant shall at all times comply with the terms and conditions
of each such license or permit.  Tenant shall not at any time use or occupy, or
suffer or permit anyone to use or occupy the Demised Premises, or do or permit
anything to be done in the Demised Premises, in any manner which (a) violates
the Certificate of Occupancy for the Demised Premises or for the Building;
(b) causes or is liable to cause injury to the Building or any equipment,
facilities or systems therein; (c) constitutes a violation of the Legal
Requirements or Insurance Requirements; (d) impairs the character, reputation or
appearance of the Building as a first-class office building; (e) impairs the
proper and economic maintenance, operation and repair of the Building and/or its
equipment, facilities or systems; or (f) unreasonably annoys or inconveniences
other tenants or occupants of the Building.

 

ARTICLE 5 - PREPARATION OF DEMISED PREMISES

 

5.01.(a)  The Demised Premises shall be delivered to Tenant, and Tenant agrees
to accept the same, in “as is” condition; except, however, that prior to
delivery of possession of the Demised Premises, Landlord shall (i) remove the
staircase between the fourth (4th) and fifth (5th) floors of the Building and
shall replace the floor in the area of the staircase so removed, and (ii) remove
all furniture systems (belonging to the existing tenant) from the Demised
Premises.  Except as expressly provided to the contrary in this Lease, the
taking of possession by Tenant of the Demised Premises shall be conclusive
evidence as against Tenant that the Demised Premises and the Building were in
good and satisfactory condition at the time such possession was taken.
Notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary, Landlord agrees that
the existing mechanical systems will be in good working order upon delivery of
the Demised Premises to Tenant.

 

5.01.(b)(i)  Except as expressly set forth in Article 5.01 (a) above, Tenant
shall be responsible for all construction and work to prepare the Demised
Premises for Tenant’s occupancy at Tenant’s cost and expense. Such construction
shall be in accordance with Section 39.09 of this Lease. Prior to performing any
work in the Demised Premises, Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days of the date

 

11

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

 

thereof submit to Landlord for approval final plans and specifications for all
construction work in the Demised Premises including, but not limited to layout,
mechanical, electrical and plumbing plans and finish schedules (“Plans and
Specifications”). Tenant shall employ licensed architect(s) and/or engineer(s)
for the preparation of the Plans and Specifications.  Landlord shall notify
Tenant of Landlord’s approval or disapproval of such Plans and Specifications no
later than twenty (20) days after receipt by Landlord.  If Landlord disapproves,
Landlord shall specify the reasons for disapproval and Tenant shall, within ten
(10) Business Days of receipt of notice of Landlord’s disapproval, resubmit
revised Plans and Specifications that correct such items. If Landlord has not
responded to Tenant’s submission of Plans and Specifications within twenty (20)
days of receipt thereof, Tenant’s Plans and Specifications so submitted shall be
deemed approved.

 

(ii) Tenant shall obtain and provide all design and architectural services
necessary to perform Tenant’s Work and shall be responsible for complying with
all building codes and Legal Requirements in connection with Tenant’s Work,
prior to commencing any work in the Demised Premises.  Upon completion of
Tenant’s Work, or upon such earlier date that Tenant seeks to occupy the Demised
Premises, Tenant shall obtain a permanent certificate of occupancy of the
Demised Premises for the Permitted Uses.  The construction of the Demised
Premises shall be performed in a first class workmanlike manner.  At all times
when construction of the Demised Premises is in progress and prior to the
Commencement Date, Tenant shall maintain or cause to be maintained the insurance
coverage required under Section 13.02.

 

(iii) Tenant shall be solely responsible for the structural integrity of the
improvements and for the adequacy or sufficiency of the Plans and Specifications
and all the improvements depicted thereon or covered thereby, and Landlord’s
consent thereto, approval thereof, or incorporation therein of any of its
recommendations shall in no way diminish Tenant’s responsibility therefor or
reduce or mitigate Tenant’s liability in connection therewith.  Landlord shall
have no obligations or liabilities by reason of this Lease in connections with
the performance of construction or of the finish, decorating or installation
work performed by Tenant, or on its behalf, or in connection with the contracts
for the performance thereof entered into by Tenant.  Any warranties extended or
available to Tenant in connection with the aforesaid work shall be for the
benefit also of Landlord. Tenant further agrees that once it commences
construction, it shall diligently and continuously proceed with construction to
completion.

 

(iv)  Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article to the contrary, in
connection with Tenant’s engagement of a “Construction Manager” and/or “General
Contractor” for the performance of Tenant’s Work, Tenant hereby agrees to allow
Landlord to participate in Tenant’s bid solicitation process. In no event,
however, shall Tenant be obligated to engage Landlord as its Construction
Manager and/or General Contractor.

 

5.02. If Landlord is unable to give possession of the Demised Premises on the
Commencement Date because of the holding-over or retention of possession by any
tenant, undertenant or occupant, Landlord shall not be subject to any liability
for failure to give possession, the validity of this Lease shall not be impaired
under such circumstances, and the Term shall not be extended, but the Rent shall
be abated if Tenant is not responsible for the inability to obtain

 

12

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

 

possession.

 

5.03. Landlord reserves the right, at any time and from time to time, to
increase, reduce or change the number, type, size, location, elevation, nature
and use of any of the Common Areas and the Building and any other buildings and
other improvements on the Land, including, without limitation, the right to move
and/or remove same, provided same shall not unreasonably block or interfere with
(i) Tenant’s means of ingress or egress to and from the Demised Premises, or
(ii) Tenant’s ability to use and occupy the Demised Premises for purposes of
conducting the Permitted Uses therein. If, as a direct and proximate result of
Landlord’s exercise of its’ rights under this Article 5.03, Tenant is physically
unable to use and occupy the Demised Premises for purposes of conducting the
Permitted Uses therein for a period in excess of three (3) consecutive Business
Days [any such period in excess of three (3) consecutive Business Days that
Tenant is unable to use and occupy the Demised Premises shall hereinafter be
referred to as a “Period of Interruption”], then, upon notice to Landlord, the
Rent shall abate during the Period of Interruption until such time as Tenant is
once again able to use and occupy the Demised Premises for purposes of
conducting the Permitted Uses therein.

 

5.04. Landlord hereby represents, to the best of its knowledge and belief
without investigation, that it is unaware of any structural defects impacting
the Demised Premises or the Building.

 

ARTICLE 6 - TAX AND OPERATING EXPENSE PAYMENTS

 

6.01. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as hereinafter provided, Tenant’s Fraction
of the Real Estate Taxes.  Tenant’s Fraction of the Real Estate Taxes shall be
the Real Estate Taxes in respect of the Building for the period in question,
less the Real Estate Taxes attributable to the Base Year, multiplied by the
Tenant’s Fraction, plus the Real Estate Taxes in respect of the Land for the
period in question, less the Real Estate Taxes attributable to the Base Year,
multiplied by the Tenant’s Fraction.  If any portion of the Building shall be
exempt from all or any part of the Real Estate Taxes, then for the period of
time when such exemption is in effect, the Floor Space on such exempt portion
shall be excluded when making the above computations in respect of the part of
the Real Estate Taxes for which such portion shall be exempt.  Landlord shall
estimate the annual amount of Tenant’s Fraction of the Real Estate Taxes (which
estimate may be changed by Landlord at any time and from time to time), and
Tenant shall pay to Landlord 1/12th of the amount so estimated on the first day
of each month in advance.  Tenant shall also pay to Landlord on demand from time
to time the amount which, together with said monthly installments, will be
sufficient in Landlord’s reasonable estimation to pay Tenant’s Fraction of any
Real Estate Taxes thirty (30) days prior to the date when such Real Estate Taxes
shall first become due.  When the amount of any item comprising Real Estate
Taxes is finally determined for a real estate fiscal tax year, Landlord shall
submit to Tenant a statement in reasonable detail of the same (with copies of
the appropriate Real Estate Tax bills), and the figures used for computing
Tenant’s Fraction of the same, and if Tenant’s Fraction so stated is more or
less than the amount theretofore paid by Tenant for such item based on
Landlord’s estimate, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the deficiency within ten (10)
days after submission

 

13

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

 

of such statement, or Landlord shall, at Tenant’s option, either refund to
Tenant the excess or apply same to future installments of Real Estate Taxes due
hereunder.  Any Real Estate Taxes for a real estate fiscal tax year, a part of
which is included within the Term and a part of which is not so included, shall
be apportioned on the basis of the number of days in the real estate fiscal tax
year included in the Term, and the real estate fiscal tax year for any
improvement assessment will be deemed to be the one-year period commencing on
the date when such assessment is due, except that if any improvement assessment
is payable in installments, the real estate fiscal tax year for each installment
will be deemed to be the one-year period commencing on the date when such
installment is due.  The above computations shall be made by Landlord in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and the Floor Space
referred to will be based upon the average of the Floor Space in existence on
the first day of each month during the period in question.  In addition to the
foregoing, Tenant shall be responsible for any increase in Real Estate Taxes
attributable to assessments for improvements installed by or for the account of
Tenant at the Demised Premises.  If the Demised Premises are not separately
assessed, the amount of any such increase shall be determined by reference to
the records of the tax assessor.

 

6.02. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as hereinafter provided, Tenant’s Fraction
of the Operating Expenses.  Tenant’s Fraction of the Operating Expenses shall be
the Operating Expenses for the period in question, less the Operating Expenses
for the Base Year, multiplied by Tenant’s Fraction.  Landlord shall estimate
Tenant’s annual Fraction of the Operating Expenses (which estimate may be
reasonably changed by Landlord from time to time), and Tenant shall pay to
Landlord 1/12th of the amount so estimated on the first day of each month in
advance.  If at any time Landlord changes its estimate of Tenant’s Fraction of
the Operating Expenses for the then current Calendar Year or partial Calendar
Year, Landlord shall give notice to Tenant of such change and within ten (10)
days after such notice Landlord and Tenant shall adjust for any overpayment or
underpayment during the prior months of the then current Calendar Year or
partial Calendar Year.  After the end of each Calendar Year, including any
partial Calendar Year at the beginning of the Term, and after the end of the
Term, Landlord shall submit to Tenant a statement in reasonable detail (and
accompanied by “back-up” documentation in support of such calculations) stating
Tenant’s Fraction of the Operating Expenses for such Calendar Year, or partial
Calendar Year in the event the Term shall begin on a date other than a
January 1st and/or end on a date other than a December 31st, as the case may be,
and stating the Operating Expenses for the period in question and the figures
used for computing Tenant’s Fraction, and if Tenant’s Fraction so stated for
such period is more or less than the amount paid for such period, Tenant shall
pay to Landlord the deficiency within ten (10) days after submission of such
statement, or Landlord shall, at Tenant’s option, either refund to Tenant the
excess or apply same to future installments of Operating Expenses due
hereunder.  All computations shall be made in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles.

 

6.03.  Each such statement given by Landlord pursuant to Section 6.01 or
Section 6.02 shall be conclusive and binding upon Tenant unless within sixty
(60) days after the receipt of such statement Tenant shall notify Landlord that
it disputes the correctness of the statement, specifying the particular respects
in which the statement is claimed to be incorrect.  If such dispute is not
settled by agreement, either party may (but shall not be obligated to) submit
the dispute to arbitration as provided in Article 36.  Pending the determination
of such dispute by agreement or

 

14

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

 

arbitration as aforesaid, Tenant shall, within ten (10) days after receipt of
such statement, pay the Additional Charges in accordance with Landlord’s
statement, without prejudice to Tenant’s position.  If the dispute shall be
determined in Tenant’s favor, Landlord shall forthwith pay to Tenant the amount
of Tenant’s overpayment resulting from compliance with Landlord’s statement.

 

6.04. In determining the amount of Operating Expenses for the Base Year and all
subsequent Calendar Years for the purpose of this Article 6 and Article 1.01 Z.,
Landlord agrees that if less than 95% of the Floor Space in the Building shall
have been occupied by tenants and fully used by them at any time during the
year, including without limitation the Base Year, Operating Expenses shall be
deemed for the purposes of this Article to be increased to an amount equal to
the like Operating Expense which would normally be expected to be incurred, had
such occupancy been 95% and had such full utilization been made during the
entire period.

 

ARTICLE 7 - COMMON AREAS

 

7.01. So long as Tenant is not in default under this Lease beyond the applicable
cure period, subject to the provisions of Section 5.04, Landlord will operate,
manage, equip, light, repair and maintain, or cause to be operated, managed,
equipped, lighted, repaired and maintained, the Common Areas for their intended
purposes and in a manner consistent with that of a first class office building
in Hudson County, New Jersey.  Landlord reserves the right, at any time and from
time to time, to construct within the Common Areas kiosks, fountains, aquariums,
planters, pools and sculptures, and to install vending machines, telephone
booths, benches and the like, provided same shall not unreasonably block or
interfere with Tenant’s means of ingress or egress to and from the Demised
Premises, and provided the same are consistent with installations in first class
office buildings in Hudson County, New Jersey.

 

7.02. So long as Tenant is not in default under this Lease beyond the applicable
cure period, Tenant and its subtenants and concessionaires, and their respective
officers, employees, agents, customers and invitees, shall have the
non-exclusive right, in common with Landlord and all others to whom Landlord has
granted or may hereafter grant such right, but subject to the Rules and
Regulations, to use the Common Areas.  Landlord reserves the right, at any time
and from time to time, to close temporarily all or any portions of the Common
Areas when in Landlord’s reasonable judgment any such closing is necessary or
desirable (a) to make repairs or changes or to effect construction, (b) to
prevent the acquisition of public rights in such areas, (c) to discourage
unauthorized parking, or (d) to protect or preserve natural persons or property.
Landlord may do such other acts in and to the Common Areas as in its judgment
may be desirable to improve or maintain same.

 

7.03. Tenant agrees that it, any subtenant or licensee and their respective
officers, employees, contractors and agents will park their automobiles and
other vehicles only where and as permitted by Landlord.  Tenant will, if and
when so requested by Landlord, furnish Landlord with the license numbers of any
vehicles of Tenant, any subtenant or licensee and their respective officers,

 

15

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

 

employees and agents.

 

7.04 Tenant shall be entitled to the use of a total of four (4) parking spaces
per 1000 square feet of Floor Space of the Demised Premises. 22 of the parking
spaces shall be located under the Building and shall be for the exclusive use of
Tenant. The remainder of the parking spaces shall be located in the parking
deck(s) and grade level parking serving the Building and shall be provided on a
non-exclusive basis.

 

ARTICLE 8 - SECURITY

 

8.01. Tenant has deposited with Landlord the Security Deposit as security for
the full and faithful payment and performance by Tenant of Tenant’s obligations
under this Lease.  If Tenant defaults in the full and prompt payment and
performance of any of its obligations under this Lease, including, without
limitation, the payment of Rent, Landlord may use, apply or retain the whole or
any part of the Security Deposit to the extent required for the payment of any
Rent or any other sums as to which Tenant is in default or for any sum which
Landlord may expend or may be required to expend by reason of Tenant’s default
in respect of any of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, including, without
limitation, any damages or deficiency in the reletting of the Demised Premises,
whether such damages or deficiency accrue before or after summary proceedings or
other re-entry by Landlord.  If Landlord shall so use, apply or retain the whole
or any part of the security, Tenant shall upon demand immediately deposit with
Landlord a sum equal to the amount so used, applied and retained, as security as
aforesaid.  If Tenant shall fully and faithfully pay and perform all of Tenant’s
obligations under this Lease, the Security Deposit or any balance thereof to
which Tenant is entitled shall be returned or paid over to Tenant within thirty
(30) days after the later of (i) the date on which this Lease shall expire or
sooner end or terminate, and (ii) delivery to Landlord of entire possession of
the Demised Premises.  In the event of any sale or leasing of the Land, Landlord
shall have the right to transfer the security to which Tenant is entitled to the
vendee or lessee and Landlord shall thereupon be released by Tenant from all
liability for the return or payment thereof; and Tenant shall look solely to the
new landlord for the return or payment of the same; and the provisions hereof
shall apply to every transfer or assignment made of the same to a new landlord. 
Tenant shall not assign or encumber or attempt to assign or encumber the monies
deposited herein as security, and neither Landlord nor its successors or assigns
shall be bound by any such assignment, encumbrance, attempted assignment or
attempted encumbrance. The Security Deposit shall be considered trust funds for
the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Lease. Any use of the
Security Deposit, other than for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of
this Lease, shall be deemed a default of this Lease. In the event the Demised
Premises are sold and the Security Deposit is transferred to the contract
vendee, Landlord shall obtain and provide to Tenant a certification executed by
the contract vendee confirming receipt of the Security Deposit by the latter.

 

8.01(b).In lieu of the cash security required by this Lease, Tenant shall
provide to Landlord an irrevocable Letter of Credit in the amount of the
Security Deposit in form annexed hereto as Exhibit F and issued by a financial
institution approved by Landlord and otherwise conforming

 

16

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

 

to Exhibit F, annexed hereto and made a part hereof.  Landlord shall have the
right, upon written notice to Tenant (except for Tenant’s non-payment of Rent or
for Tenant’s failure to comply with Article 8.03 for which no notice shall be
required), and regardless of the exercise of any other remedy the Landlord may
have by reason of a default, to draw upon said Letter of Credit to cure any
default of Tenant or for any purpose authorized by section 8.01(a) of this Lease
and if Landlord does so, Tenant shall, upon demand, additionally fund the Letter
of Credit with the amount so drawn so that Landlord shall have the full deposit
on hand at all times during the Term of the Lease and for a period of thirty
(30) days’ thereafter. In the event of a sale of the Building or a lease of the
Building subject to this Lease, Landlord shall have the right to transfer the
security to the vendee or lessee.

 

8.02. The Letter of Credit shall expire not earlier than thirty (30) days after
the Expiration Date of this Lease.  Upon Landlord’s prior consent, the Letter of
Credit may be of the type which is automatically renewed on an annual basis
(Annual Renewal Date), provided however, in such event Tenant shall maintain the
Letter of Credit and its renewals in full force and effect during the entire
Term of this Lease (including any renewals or extensions) and for a period of
thirty (30) days thereafter. The Letter of Credit will contain a provision
requiring the issuer thereof to give the beneficiary (Landlord) sixty (60) days’
advance written notice of its intention not to renew the Letter of Credit on the
next Annual Renewal Date.

 

8.03. In the event Tenant shall fail to deliver to Landlord a substitute
irrevocable Letter of Credit, in the amount stated above, on or before thirty
(30) days prior to the next Annual Renewal Date, said failure shall be deemed a
default under this Lease.  Landlord may, in its discretion treat the same as a
default in the payment of Rent or any other default and pursue the appropriate
remedy.  In addition, and not in limitation, Landlord shall be permitted to draw
upon the Letter of Credit as in the case of any other default by Tenant under
the Lease.

 

ARTICLE 9 - SUBORDINATION

 

9.01. This Lease, and all rights of Tenant hereunder, are and shall be subject
and subordinate to all ground leases and underlying leases of the Land and/or
the Building now or hereafter existing and to all Mortgages which may now or
hereafter affect the Land and/or building and/or any of such leases, whether or
not such Mortgages or leases shall also cover other lands and/or buildings, to
each and every advance made or hereafter to be made under such Mortgages, and to
all renewals, modifications, replacements and extensions of such leases and such
Mortgages and spreaders and consolidations of such Mortgages.  The provisions of
this Section 9.01 shall be self-operative and no further instrument of
subordination shall be required.  In confirmation of such subordination, Tenant
shall promptly execute, acknowledge and deliver any instrument that Landlord,
the lessor under any such lease or the Mortgagee of any such Mortgage or any of
their respective successors in interest may reasonably request to evidence such
subordination; and if Tenant fails to execute, acknowledge or deliver any such
instruments within 10 days after request therefor, Tenant hereby irrevocably
constitutes and appoints Landlord as Tenant’s attorney-in-fact, coupled with an
interest, to execute and deliver any such instruments for and on behalf of
Tenant.

 

17

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

 

9.02. If any act or omission of Landlord would give Tenant the right,
immediately or after lapse of a period of time, to cancel or terminate this
Lease, or to claim a partial or total eviction, Tenant shall not exercise such
right (a) until it has given written notice of such act or omission to Landlord
and each Superior Mortgagee and each Superior Lessor whose name and address
shall previously have been furnished to Tenant, and (b) until a reasonable
period for remedying such act or omission shall have elapsed following the
giving of such notice and following the time when such Superior Mortgagee or
Superior Lessor shall have become entitled under such Superior Mortgage or
Superior Lease, as the case may be, to remedy the same (which reasonable period
shall in no event be less than the period to which Landlord would be entitled
under this Lease or otherwise, after similar notice, to effect such remedy),
provided such Superior Mortgagee or Superior Lessor shall with due diligence
give Tenant notice of intention to, and commence and continue to, remedy such
act or omission.

 

9.03. If any Superior Lessor or Superior Mortgagee shall succeed to the rights
of Landlord under this Lease, whether through possession or foreclosure action
or delivery of a new lease or deed, then at the request of such party so
succeeding to Landlord’s rights (“Successor Landlord”) and upon such Successor
Landlord’s written agreement to accept Tenant’s attornment, Tenant shall attorn
to and recognize such Successor Landlord as Tenant’s landlord under this Lease
and shall promptly execute and deliver any instrument that such Successor
Landlord may reasonably request to evidence such attornment.  Upon such
attornment this Lease shall continue in full force and effect as a direct lease
between the Successor Landlord and Tenant upon all of the terms, conditions and
covenants as are set forth in this Lease except that the Successor Landlord
shall not (a) be liable for any previous act or omission of Landlord under this
Lease; (b) be subject to any offset, not expressly provided for in this Lease,
which theretofore shall have accrued to Tenant against Landlord; (c) be liable
for the return of any Security Deposit, in whole or in part, to the extent that
same is not paid over to the Successor Landlord; or (d) be bound by any previous
modification of this Lease or by any previous prepayment of more than one
month’s Fixed Rent or Additional Charges, unless such modification or prepayment
shall have been expressly approved in writing by the Superior Lessor of the
Superior Lease or the Mortgagee of the Superior Mortgage through or by reason of
which the Successor Landlord shall have succeeded to the rights of Landlord
under this Lease.

 

9.04. If any then present or prospective Superior Mortgagee shall require any
modification(s) of this Lease, Tenant shall promptly execute and deliver to
Landlord such instruments effecting such modification(s) as Landlord shall
request, provided that such modification(s) do not adversely affect in any
material respect any of Tenant’s rights under this Lease.

 

ARTICLE 10 - QUIET ENJOYMENT

 

10.01. So long as Tenant pays all of the Rent and performs all of Tenant’s other
obligations hereunder, Tenant shall peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy
the Demised Premises without hindrance, ejection or molestation by Landlord or
any person lawfully claiming through or under Landlord, subject, nevertheless,
to the provisions of this Lease and to Superior Leases and Superior Mortgages.

 

18

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

 

ARTICLE 11 - ASSIGNMENT, SUBLETTING AND MORTGAGING

 

11.01. Tenant shall not, whether voluntarily, involuntarily, or by operation of
law or otherwise, (a) assign or otherwise transfer this Lease, or offer or
advertise to do so, (b) sublet the Demised Premises or any part thereof, or
offer or advertise to do so, or allow the same to be used, occupied or utilized
by anyone other than Tenant, or (c) mortgage, pledge, encumber or otherwise
hypothecate this Lease in any manner whatsoever, without in each instance
obtaining the prior written consent of Landlord.

 

Landlord agrees not to unreasonably withhold its consent to the subletting of
the Demised Premises or an assignment of this Lease.  In determining
reasonableness, Landlord may take into consideration all relevant factors
surrounding the proposed sublease and assignment, including, without limitation,
the following: (i) The business reputation of the proposed assignee or subtenant
and its officers or directors in relation to the other tenants or occupants of
the Building or Development; (ii) the nature of the business and the proposed
use of the Demised Premises by the proposed assignee or subtenant in relation to
the other tenants or occupants of the Building or Development; (iii) whether the
proposed assignee or subtenant is then a tenant (or subsidiary, affiliate or
parent of a tenant) of other space in the Building or Development, or any other
property owned or managed by Landlord or its affiliates; (iv) the financial
condition of the proposed assignee or subtenant; (v) restrictions, if any,
contained in leases or other agreements affecting the Building and the
Development; (vi) the effect that the proposed assignee’s or subtenant’s
occupancy or use of the Demised Premises would have upon the operation and
maintenance of the Building and the Development; (vii) the extent to which the
proposed assignee or subtenant and Tenant provide Landlord with assurances
reasonably satisfactory to Landlord as to the satisfaction of Tenant’s
obligations hereunder.  In any event, at no time shall there be more than two
(2) subtenants of the Demised Premises permitted.

 

In the event the Demised Premises are sublet or this Lease is assigned, Tenant
shall pay to Landlord as an Additional Charge the following amounts less the
actual reasonable expense incurred by Tenant in connection with such assignment
or subletting, as substantiated by Tenant, in writing, to Landlord’s reasonable
satisfaction, including, without limitation, a reasonable brokerage fee and
reasonable legal fees, as the case may be: (i) in the case of an assignment, an
amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of all sums and other consideration paid to
Tenant by the assignee for or by reason of such assignment, and (ii) in the case
of a sublease, fifty percent (50%) of any rents, additional charge or other
consideration payable under the sublease to Tenant by the subtenant which is in
excess of the Fixed Rent and Additional Charges accruing during the term of the
sublease in respect of the subleased space (at the rate per square foot payable
by Tenant hereunder) pursuant to the terms hereof.

 

Notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary, any Person which,
directly or indirectly, controls or is controlled by or is under common control
with Tenant (an “Affiliate”) may occupy all or any portion of the Demised
Premises along with or in place of Tenant without

 

19

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

 

the consent of Landlord. Such occupancy by Tenant’s Affiliates shall not be
deemed an assignment or other transfer of the Lease, nor shall any such
Affiliate have any rights under this Lease.

 

11.02. If at any time (a) the original Tenant named herein, (b) the then Tenant,
(c) any Guarantor, or (d) any Person owning a majority of the voting stock of,
or directly or indirectly controlling, the then Tenant shall be a corporation or
partnership, any transfer of voting stock or partnership interest resulting in
the person(s) who shall have owned a majority of such corporation’s shares of
voting stock or the general partners’ interest in such partnership, as the case
may be, immediately before such transfer, ceasing to own a majority of such
shares of voting stock or general partner’s interest, as the case may be, except
as the result of transfers by inheritance, shall be deemed to be an assignment
of this Lease as to which Landlord’s consent shall have been required, and in
any such event Tenant shall notify Landlord.  The provisions of this
Section 11.02 shall not be applicable to any corporation all the outstanding
voting stock of which is listed on a national securities exchange (as defined in
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) or is traded in the
over-the-counter market with quotations reported by the National Association of
Securities Dealers through its automated system for reporting quotations and
shall not apply to transactions with a corporation into or with which the then
Tenant is merged or consolidated or to which substantially all of the then
Tenant’s assets are transferred or to any corporation which controls or is
controlled by the then Tenant or is under common control with the then Tenant,
provided that in any of such events (i) the successor to Tenant has a net worth
computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles at least
equal to the greater of (1) the net worth of Tenant immediately prior to such
merger, consolidation or transfer, or (2) the net worth of the original Tenant
on the date of this Lease, and (ii) proof satisfactory to Landlord of such net
worth shall have been delivered to Landlord at least 10 days prior to the
effective date of any such transaction (the entities referenced in this
preceding sentence shall sometimes be referred to collectively as “Permitted
Assignees” and individually as a “Permitted Assignee.”).  For the purposes of
this Section, the words “voting stock” shall refer to shares of stock regularly
entitled to vote for the election of directors of the corporation.  Landlord
shall have the right at any time and from time to time during the Term to
inspect the stock record books of the corporation to which the provisions of
this Section 11.02 apply, and Tenant will produce the same on request of
Landlord.

 

11.03. If this Lease is assigned, whether or not in violation of this Lease,
Landlord may collect rent from the assignee.  If the Demised Premises or any
part thereof are sublet or used or occupied by anybody other than Tenant,
whether or not in violation of this Lease, Landlord may, after default by
Tenant, and expiration of Tenant’s time to cure such default, collect rent from
the subtenant or occupant.  In either event, Landlord may apply the net amount
collected to the Rent, but no such assignment, subletting, occupancy or
collection shall be deemed a waiver of any of the provisions of Section 11.01 or
Section 11.02, or the acceptance of the assignee, subtenant or occupant as
tenant, or a release of Tenant from the performance by Tenant of Tenant’s
obligations under this Lease.  The consent by Landlord to any assignment,
mortgaging, subletting or use or occupancy by others shall not in any way be
considered to relieve Tenant from obtaining the express written consent of
Landlord to any other or further assignment, mortgaging or subletting or use or
occupancy by others not expressly permitted by this Article 11.  References in
this Lease to use or occupancy by others (that is, anyone other than Tenant)
shall not be construed as limited to

 

20

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

 

subtenants and those claiming under or through subtenants but shall be construed
as including also licensees and others claiming under or through Tenant,
immediately or remotely.

 

11.04. Any permitted assignment or transfer, whether made with Landlord’s
consent pursuant to Section 11.01 or without Landlord’s consent if permitted by
Section 11.02, shall be made only if, and shall not be effective until, the
assignee shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord an agreement in form
and substance satisfactory to Landlord whereby the assignee shall assume
Tenant’s obligations under this Lease and whereby the assignee shall agree that
all of the provisions in this Article 11 shall, notwithstanding such assignment
or transfer, continue to be binding upon it in respect to all future assignments
and transfers.  Notwithstanding any assignment or transfer, whether or not in
violation of the provisions of this Lease, and notwithstanding the acceptance of
Rent by Landlord from an assignee, transferee, or any other party, the original
Tenant and any other person)s) who at any time was or were Tenant shall remain
fully liable for the payment of the Rent and for Tenant’s other obligations
under this Lease.

 

11.05. The liability of the original named Tenant and any other Person(s)
(including but not limited to any Guarantor) who at any time are or become
responsible for Tenant’s obligations under this Lease shall not be discharged,
released or impaired by any agreement extending the time of, or modifying any of
the terms or obligations under this Lease, or by any waiver or failure of
Landlord to enforce, any of this Lease.

 

11.06. The listing of any name other than that of Tenant, whether on the doors
of the Demised Premises or the Building directory, or otherwise, shall not
operate to vest any right or interest in this Lease or in the Demised Premises,
nor shall it be deemed to be the consent of Landlord to any assignment or
transfer of this Lease or to any sublease of the Demised Premises or to the use
or occupancy thereof by others.  Notwithstanding anything contained in this
Lease to the contrary, Landlord shall have the absolute right to withhold its
consent to an assignment or subletting to a Person who is otherwise a tenant or
occupant of the Building, or of a building owned or managed by Landlord or its
affiliated entities.

 

11.07. Without limiting any of the provisions of Article 27, if pursuant to the
Federal Bankruptcy Code (or any similar law hereafter enacted having the same
general purpose), Tenant is permitted to assign this Lease notwithstanding the
restrictions contained in this Lease, adequate assurance of future performance
by an assignee expressly permitted under such Code shall be deemed to mean the
deposit of cash security in an amount equal to the sum of one (1) year’s Fixed
Rent plus an amount equal to the Additional Charges for the Calendar Year
preceding the year in which such assignment is intended to become effective,
which deposit shall be held by Landlord for the balance of the Term, without
interest, as security for the full performance of all of Tenant’s obligations
under this Lease, to be held and applied in the manner specified for security in
Section 8.01.

 

11.08.  If Tenant shall propose to assign or in any manner transfer this Lease
or any interest therein, or sublet the Demised Premises or any part or parts
thereof, or grant any concession or license or otherwise permit occupancy of all
or any part of the Demised Premises by any person,

 

21

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

 

Tenant shall give notice thereof to Landlord, together with a copy of the
proposed instrument that is to accomplish same and such financial and other
information pertaining to the proposed assignee, transferee, subtenant,
concessionaire or licensee as Landlord shall require, and Landlord may, in
addition to Landlord’s right to give or withhold consent, terminate this Lease
by notice (“Landlord’s Termination Notice”) given to Tenant within thirty (30)
days after receipt of said proposed instrument and financial and other
information, and upon the date specified in such notice, which date shall be not
less than 30 days and not more than 60 days after the giving of said notice,
this Lease shall terminate.  Landlord’s election to terminate this Lease as
provided above may be cancelled if, within ten (10) days of Tenant’s receipt of
Landlord’s Notice, Tenant advises Landlord, by written notice to that effect
(“Tenant’s Rescission Notice”) that Tenant has withdrawn its proposal to assign
or sublet the Demised Premises, in which event the Lease shall continue
uninterrupted in accordance with its’ terms. If Landlord does not so terminate
this Lease, (or if Landlord terminates this Lease and Tenant rescinds such
termination as provided herein) and (if Landlord consents to the subject
transaction or if Landlord’s consent is not required to same) if Tenant does not
consummate the subject transaction within 60 days after the last day on which
Landlord might have so terminated this Lease as a result of such transaction,
Tenant shall again be required to comply with the provisions of this
Section 11.08 in connection with any such transaction as if the notice by Tenant
referred to above in this Section 11.08 had not been given.  Notwithstanding
anything contained in this Lease to the contrary, Landlord shall not be
obligated to entertain or consider any request by Tenant to consent to any
proposed assignment of this Lease or sublet of all or any part of the Demised
Premises unless each request by Tenant is accompanied by a non-refundable fee
payable to Landlord in the amount of One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00) to cover
Landlord’s administrative, legal, and other costs and expenses incurred in
processing each of Tenant’s requests.  Neither Tenant’s payment nor Landlord’s
acceptance of the foregoing fee shall be construed to impose any obligation
whatsoever upon Landlord to consent to Tenant’s request.

fines, penalties and damages which may be imposed upon Landlord or any Superior
Lessor by reason of or arising out of Tenant’s failure to fully and promptly
comply with and observe the provisions of this Section 12.01.  However, Tenant

to the Demised Premises, in accordance with Section 12.02.

 

12.02. Tenant may contest, by appropriate proceedings prosecuted diligently and
in good faith, the validity, or applicability to the Demised Premises, of any

satisfactory to Landlord, which bond shall be, as to its provisions and form,
satisfactory to Landlord, and shall be in an amount at least equal to 125% of
the cost of such compliance (as estimated by a reputable contractor designated
by Landlord) and shall indemnify Landlord against the cost thereof and against
all liability for damages, interest, penalties and expenses (including
reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), resulting from or incurred in
connection with such contest or non-compliance, or (ii) other security in place
of such bond satisfactory to Landlord;  (c) such non-compliance or contest shall
not constitute or result in any violation of any Superior Lease or Superior
Mortgage, or if any such Superior Lease and/or Superior Mortgage shall permit
such non-compliance or contest on condition of the taking of action or
furnishing of security by Landlord, such action shall be taken and such security
shall be furnished at the expense of Tenant; and (d) Tenant shall keep Landlord

offense if Landlord, or its managing agent, or any officer, director, partner,
shareholder or employee of Landlord or its managing agent, as an individual, is
charged with a crime or offense of any kind or degree whatsoever, whether by
service of a summons or otherwise, unless such charge is withdrawn before
Landlord or its managing agent, or such officer, director, partner, shareholder
or employee of Landlord or its managing agent (as the case may be) is required
to plead or answer thereto.  Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to
the contrary, Tenant shall not file any Real Estate Tax Appeal with respect to
the Land, Building or the Demised Premises.

expense, for compliance with any applicable Legal Requirements, relating to the
removal, encapsulation or other treatment of any Hazardous Substance hereafter
present within the Demised Premises, unless such Hazardous Substance shall have
been placed in, on, or about the Demised Premises by Tenant or by any of
Tenant’s (or its affiliate’s or subtenant’s) agents, employees or contractors. 
If at any time during the Term, Tenant shall deliver a certification of a

ARTICLE 13 - INSURANCE AND INDEMNITY

 

13.01. Landlord shall maintain or cause to be maintained All Risk insurance in
respect of the Building and other improvements on the Land normally covered by
such insurance (except for the property Tenant is required to cover with
insurance under Section 13.02 and similar property of other tenants and
occupants of the Building or buildings and other improvements which are on land
neither owned by nor leased to Landlord) for the benefit of Landlord, any
Superior Lessors, any Superior Mortgagees and any other parties Landlord may at
any time and from time to time designate, as their interests may appear, but not
for the benefit of Tenant, and shall maintain rent insurance as required by any
Superior Lessor or any Superior Mortgagee.  The All Risk insurance will be in
the amounts required by any Superior Lessor or any Superior Mortgagee but not
less than the full replacement value of the Building.  Landlord may also
maintain any other forms and types of insurance which Landlord shall deem
reasonable in respect of the Building and Land.  Landlord shall have the right
to provide any insurance maintained or caused to be maintained by it under
blanket policies.

 

13.02. Tenant shall maintain the following insurance:  (a) commercial general
liability insurance in respect of the Demised Premises and the conduct and
operation of business therein, having a limit of liability not less than a
$5,000,000. per occurrence for bodily injury or property damage. coverage to
include but not be limited to premises/operations, completed operations,
contractual liability and product liability; (b) automobile liability insurance

furniture, furnishings, removable floor coverings, equipment, signs and all
other property of Tenant in the Demised Premises in an amount equal to the full
replacement value thereof as same might increase from time to time or such
higher amount as either may be required by the holder of any fee mortgage, or is
necessary to prevent Landlord and/or Tenant from becoming a co-insurer. Such
insurance shall include coverage for property of others in the care, custody and
control of Tenant in amounts sufficient to cover the replacement value of such
property, to the extent of Tenant’s liability therefor; and (e) such other
insurance as Landlord may reasonably require.  Landlord may at any time and from
time to time require that the limits for the general

 

24

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

 

liability insurance to be maintained by Tenant be increased to the limits that
new tenants in the Building are required by Landlord to maintain.  Tenant shall
deliver to Landlord and any additional insured(s) certificates for such fully
paid-for policies upon execution hereof.  Tenant shall procure and pay for
renewals of such insurance from time to time before the expiration thereof, and
Tenant shall deliver to Landlord and any additional insured(s) certificates
therefor at least thirty (30) days before the expiration of any existing

such policies shall contain a provision whereby the same cannot be canceled
unless Landlord and any additional insured(s) are given at least thirty (30)
days’ prior written notice of such cancellation.  The policies and certificates

delivered to Landlord by Tenant pursuant to this Section 13.02 (other than
workers compensation insurance) shall name Landlord as an additional insured
and, at Landlord’s request, shall also name any Superior Lessors or Superior
Mortgagees as additional insureds, and the following phrase must be typed on the
certificate of insurance: “Hartz Mountain Industries, Inc., and its respective
subsidiaries, affiliates, associates, joint ventures, and partnerships, and (if
Landlord has so requested) Superior Lessors and Superior Mortgagees are hereby
named as additional insureds as their interests may appear.  It is intended for
this insurance to be primary and non-contributing.”  Tenant shall give Landlord
at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice that any such policy is being
canceled or replaced.

 

13.03. Tenant shall not do, permit or suffer to be done any act, matter, thing
or failure to act in respect of the Demised Premises or use or occupy the
Demised Premises or conduct or operate Tenant’s business in any manner
objectionable to any insurance company or companies whereby the fire insurance
or any other insurance then in effect in respect of the Land and Building or any
part thereof shall become void or suspended or whereby any premiums in respect
of insurance maintained by Landlord shall be higher than those which would
normally have been in effect for the occupancy contemplated under the Permitted
Uses.  In case of a breach of the provisions of this Section 13.03, in addition
to all other rights and remedies of Landlord hereunder, Tenant shall
(a) indemnify Landlord and the Superior Lessors and hold Landlord and the
Superior Lessors harmless from and against any loss which would have been
covered by insurance which shall have become void or suspended because of such
breach by Tenant and (b) pay to Landlord any and all increases of premiums on
any insurance, including, without limitation, rent insurance, resulting from any
such breach.

officers, agents, servants and employees from and against any and all claims
arising from or in connection with (a) the conduct or management of the Demised
Premises or of any business therein, or any work or thing whatsoever done, or
any condition created (other than by Landlord) in the Demised Premises during
the Term or during the period of time, if any, prior to the Commencement Date
that Tenant may have been given access to the Demised Premises; (b) any act,
omission or negligence of Tenant or any of its subtenants or licensees or its or
their partners, joint venturers, directors, officers, agents, employees or
contractors; (c) any accident, injury or damage whatever (unless caused solely
by Landlord’s negligence)

 

25

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

 

occurring in the Demised Premises; and (d) any breach or default by Tenant in
the full and prompt payment and performance of Tenant’s obligations under this
Lease; together with all costs, expenses and liabilities incurred in or in
connection with each such claim or action or proceeding brought thereon,
including, without limitation, all attorneys’ fees and expenses.  In case any
action or proceeding is brought against Landlord and/or any Superior Lessor
and/or its or their partners, joint venturers, directors, officers, agents
and/or employees by reason of any such claim, Tenant, upon notice from Landlord
or such Superior Lessor, shall resist and defend such action or proceeding by
counsel reasonably satisfactory to Landlord.

 

13.05. Landlord shall indemnify and hold harmless Tenant and its partners, joint
venturers, directors, officers, agents, servants and employees from and against
any and all claims arising from or in connection with (a) any work done or any
condition created in the Common Areas (other than by Tenant, its, agents,
representatives, contractors and employees); and (b) any willful act or
negligence of Landlord or its agents, representatives, employees or contractors;
together with all costs, expenses and liabilities incurred in or in connection
with each such claim or action or proceeding brought thereon, including, without
limitation, all reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses.  In case any action or
proceeding is brought against Tenant and/or its partners, joint venturers,
directors, officers, agents and/or employees by reason of any such claim,
Landlord, upon notice from Tenant shall resist and defend such action or
proceeding by counsel reasonably satisfactory to Tenant.  Counsel designated by
Landlord’s insurance carrier shall be deemed acceptable to Tenant.

 

13.06. Neither Landlord nor any Superior Lessor shall be liable or responsible
for, and Tenant hereby releases Landlord and each Superior Lessor from, all
liability and responsibility to Tenant and any person claiming by, through or
under Tenant, by way of subrogation or otherwise, for any injury, loss or damage
to any person or property in or around the Demised Premises or to Tenant’s
business irrespective of the cause of such injury, loss or damage, and Tenant
shall require its insurers to include in all of Tenant’s insurance policies
which could give rise to a right of subrogation against Landlord or any Superior
Lessor a clause or endorsement whereby the insurer waives any rights of
subrogation against Landlord and such Superior Lessors or permits the insured,
prior to any loss, to agree with a third party to waive any claim it may have
against said third party without invalidating the coverage under the insurance
policy.

 

ARTICLE 14 - RULES AND REGULATIONS

 

14.01. Tenant and its employees and agents shall faithfully observe and comply
with the Rules and Regulations and such reasonable changes therein (whether by
modification, elimination or addition) as Landlord at any time or times
hereafter may make and communicate to Tenant, which in Landlord’s judgment,
shall be necessary for the reputation, safety, care or appearance of the Land
and Building, or the preservation of good order therein, or the operation or
maintenance of the Building or its equipment and fixtures, or the Common Areas;
provided, however, that in case of any conflict or inconsistency between the
provisions of this Lease and any of the Rules and Regulations, the provisions of
this Lease shall control.  Nothing in this Lease contained shall be construed to
impose

 

26

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

 

upon Landlord any duty or obligation to enforce the Rules and Regulations
against any other tenant or any employees or agents of any other tenant, and
Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for violation of the Rules and
Regulations by any other tenant or its employees, agents, invitees or licensees;
provided, however, Landlord agrees that it shall not enforce the Rules and
Regulations against Tenant in a discriminatory manner vis-à-vis the other
Tenants in the Building.

 

ARTICLE 15 - ALTERATIONS

 

15.01. Tenant shall not make any alterations or additions to the Demised
Premises, or make any holes or cuts in the walls, ceilings, roofs, or floors
thereof, or change the exterior color or architectural treatment of the Demised
Premises, without on each occasion first obtaining the consent of Landlord.
Notwithstanding anything contained in the previous sentence to the contrary,
Landlord’s consent shall not be required for any non-structural interior
alteration which does not affect (i) the structure of the Building, (ii) the
mechanical systems serving the Building, (iii) the roof, or (iv) the exterior of
the Building (“Permitted Alterations”), provided, however, Tenant agrees to
provide Landlord with written notice of any Permitted Alteration exceeding
$50,000.  Tenant shall submit to Landlord plans and specifications for such work
at the time Landlord’s consent is sought.  In the event any proposed alteration
will impact upon the structure or mechanical systems in the Building, Landlord
shall have the right to engage an outside consultant to review the plans and
specifications with respect to same, and in such case, Tenant shall pay to
Landlord upon demand the reasonable cost and expense of such outside consultants
in (a) reviewing said plans and specifications and (b) inspecting the
alterations to determine whether the same are being performed in accordance with
the approved plans and specifications and all Legal Requirements and Insurance
Requirements, including, without limitation, the fees of any architect or
engineer employed by Landlord for such purpose.  Tenant shall fully and promptly
comply with and observe the Rules and Regulations then in force in respect of
the making of alterations.  Any review or approval by Landlord of any plans
and/or specifications with respect to any alterations is solely for Landlord’s
benefit, and without any representation or warranty whatsoever to Tenant in
respect of the adequacy, correctness or efficiency thereof or otherwise.

 

15.02. Tenant shall obtain all necessary governmental permits and certificates
for the commencement and prosecution of permitted alterations and for final
approval thereof upon completion, and shall cause alterations to be performed in
compliance therewith and with all applicable Legal Requirements and Insurance
Requirements.  Alterations shall be diligently performed in a good and
workmanlike manner, using new or like-new materials and equipment at least equal
in quality and class to the better of (a) the original installations of the
Building, or (b) the then standards for the Building established by Landlord. 
Alterations in or to the mechanical, electrical, sanitary, heating, ventilating,
air conditioning or other systems of the Building shall be performed only by the
contractor(s) reasonably designated by Landlord.  Alterations shall be made in
such manner as not to unreasonably interfere with or delay and as not to impose
any additional expense upon Landlord in the construction, maintenance, repair or
operation of the Building; and if any such additional expense shall be incurred
by Landlord as a result of Tenant’s making of any alterations, Tenant shall pay
any such additional expense upon demand.  Throughout the making

 

27

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

 

of alterations, Tenant shall carry, or cause to be carried, worker’s
compensation insurance in statutory limits and general liability insurance, with
completed operation endorsement, for any occurrence in or about the Building,

and address shall previously have been furnished to Tenant shall be named as
parties insured, in such limits as Landlord may reasonably require, with
insurers reasonably satisfactory to Landlord.  Tenant shall furnish Landlord
with reasonably satisfactory evidence that such insurance is in effect at or
before the commencement of alterations and, on request, at reasonable intervals
thereafter during the making of alterations.

Building or the Common Areas resulting from the installation and/or removal
thereof, reasonable wear and tear excepted.  Any equipment or other property for

deemed to have been installed by or for the account of Tenant without expense to
Landlord, shall not be considered as the Tenant’s Property and shall be deemed
the property of Landlord.

ARTICLE 17 - REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE

 

17.01. Tenant shall, throughout the Term, take good care of the Demised
Premises, the fixtures and appurtenances therein.  Tenant shall be responsible

expense). Landlord shall also maintain the Common Areas in a first class manner
and the cost thereof shall be included in the Operating Expenses.

 

17.03. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Lease, Landlord shall have
no liability to Tenant, nor shall Tenant’s covenants and obligations under this
Lease be reduced or abated in any manner whatsoever, by reason of any
inconvenience, annoyance, interruption or injury to business arising from

electric service, Tenant shall not, without Landlord’s prior consent in each
instance (which shall not be unreasonably withheld), connect any fixtures,
appliances or equipment to the Building’s electric distribution system or make
any alteration or addition to the electric system of the Demised Premises
existing on the Commencement Date.  Should Landlord grant such consent, all

processing machines or other machines or equipment, may require changes in the
HVAC systems servicing the Demised Premises, in order to provide comfortable
occupancy.  Such changes, so occasioned, shall be made by Tenant, at its
expense, as alterations in accordance with the provisions of Article 15, but
only to the extent permitted and upon the conditions set forth in Article 15.

20.04. So long as Tenant is not in default under this Lease beyond the
applicable notice and cure period, Landlord shall furnish adequate hot and cold
water to the Demised Premises for drinking, lavatory and cleaning purposes.  If
Tenant uses water for any other purpose Landlord may install and maintain, at
Tenant’s expense, meters to measure Tenant’s consumption of cold water

 

31

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

 

and/or hot water for such other purpose.  Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for
the quantities of cold water and hot water shown on such meters within twenty
(20) days of Landlord’s invoice therefore (which invoice shall include
reasonable back-up documentation in support of such charges).

 

ARTICLE 21 - ACCESS, CHANGES AND NAME

 

21.01. Except for the space within the inside surfaces of all walls, hung
ceilings, floors, windows and doors bounding the Demised Premises, all of the
Building, including, without limitation, exterior Building walls, core corridor
walls and doors and any core corridor entrance, any terraces or roofs adjacent
to the Demised Premises, and any space in or adjacent to the Demised Premises
used for shafts, stacks, pipes, conduits, fan rooms, ducts, electric or other
utilities, sinks or other Building facilities and the use thereof, as well as
access thereto through the Demised Premises for the purpose of operating,
maintenance, decoration and repair, are reserved to Landlord.  Landlord also
reserves the right, to install, erect, use and maintain pipes, ducts and
conduits in and through the Demised Premises, provided such are properly
enclosed and provided the same do not otherwise interfere with or interrupt
Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Demised Premises.

 

21.02. Landlord and its agents shall have the right to enter and/or pass through
the Demised Premises at any time or times upon reasonable prior notice to Tenant
(except in the event of an emergency, when the circumstances shall dictate the
nature and extent of notice) (a) to examine the Demised Premises and to show
them to actual and prospective Superior Lessors, Superior Mortgagees, or
prospective purchasers of the Building, and (b) to make such repairs,
alterations, additions and improvements in or to the Demised Premises and/or in
or to the Building or its facilities and equipment as Landlord is required or
desires to make.  Landlord shall be allowed to take all materials into and upon
the Demised Premises that may be required in connection therewith, without any
liability to Tenant and without any reduction of Tenant’s obligations hereunder,
provided, however, Landlord agrees to store such materials in locations
designated by Tenant so as to minimize any interference with Tenant’s use and
occupancy of the Demised Premises. During the period of twelve (12) months prior
to the Expiration Date, Landlord and its agents may exhibit the Demised Premises
to prospective tenants.

 

21.03. If at any time any windows of the Demised Premises are temporarily
darkened or obstructed by reason of any repairs, improvements, maintenance
and/or cleaning in or about the Building, or if any part of the Building or the
Common Areas, other than the Demised Premises, is temporarily or permanently
closed or inoperable, the same shall not be deemed a constructive eviction and
shall not result in any reduction or diminution of Tenant’s obligations under
this Lease.

 

21.04. Intentionally omitted.

 

21.05. Intentionally omitted.

 

21.06. Landlord may adopt any name for the Building.  Upon prior written notice
to Tenant, Landlord reserves the right to change the name and/or address of the
Building at any time.

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

 

ARTICLE 22 - MECHANICS’ LIENS AND OTHER LIENS

 

22.01. Nothing contained in this Lease shall be deemed, construed or interpreted
to imply any consent or agreement on the part of Landlord to subject Landlord’s
interest or estate to any liability under any mechanic’s or other lien law.  If
any mechanic’s or other lien or any notice of intention to file a lien is filed
against the Land, or any part thereof, or the Demised Premises, or any part
thereof, for any work, labor, service or materials claimed to have been
performed or furnished for or on behalf of Tenant or anyone holding any part of
the Demised Premises through or under Tenant, Tenant shall cause the same to be
canceled and discharged of record by payment, bond or order of a court of
competent jurisdiction within fifteen (15) days after notice by Landlord to
Tenant.

 

ARTICLE 23 - NON-LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION

 

23.01. Neither Landlord nor any partner, joint venturer, director, officer,
agent, servant or employee of Landlord shall be liable to Tenant for any loss,
injury or damage to Tenant or to any other Person, or to its or their property,
irrespective of the cause of such injury, damage or loss, unless caused by or
resulting from the negligence of Landlord, its agents, servants or employees in
the operation or maintenance of the Land or Building without contributory
negligence on the part of Tenant or any of its subtenants or licensees or its or
their employees, agents or contractors.  Further, neither Landlord nor any
partner, joint venturer, director, officer, agent, servant or employee of
Landlord shall be liable (a) for any such damage caused by other tenants or
Persons in, upon or about the Land or Building, or caused by operations in
construction of any private, public or quasi-public work; or (b) even if
negligent, for consequential damages arising out of any loss of use of the
Demised Premises or any equipment or facilities therein by Tenant or any Person
claiming through or under Tenant.

 

23.02. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, Tenant shall look solely
to the estate and property of Landlord in and to the Land and Building (or the
proceeds received by Landlord on a sale of such estate and property but not the
proceeds of any financing or refinancing thereof) in the event of any claim
against Landlord arising out of or in connection with this Lease, the
relationship of Landlord and Tenant or Tenant’s use of the Demised Premises or
the Common Areas, and Tenant agrees that the liability of Landlord arising out
of or in connection with this Lease, the relationship of Landlord and Tenant or
Tenant’s use of the Demised Premises or the Common Areas shall be limited to
such estate and property of Landlord (or sale proceeds).  No other properties or
assets of Landlord or any partner, joint venturer, director, officer, agent,
servant or employee of Landlord shall be subject to levy, execution or other
enforcement procedures for the satisfaction of any judgement (or other judicial
process) or for the satisfaction of any other remedy of Tenant arising out of,
or in connection with, this Lease, the relationship of Landlord and Tenant or
Tenant’s use of the Demised Premises or the Common Areas and if Tenant shall
acquire a lien on or interest in any other properties or assets by judgment or
otherwise, Tenant shall promptly release such lien on or interest in such other
properties and assets by executing, acknowledging and delivering to Landlord an

 

33

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

 

instrument to that effect prepared by Landlord’s attorneys.  Tenant hereby
waives the right of specific performance and any other remedy allowed in equity
if specific performance or such other remedy could result in any liability of
Landlord for the payment of money to Tenant, or to any court or governmental
authority (by way of fines or otherwise) for Landlord’s failure or refusal to
observe a judicial decree or determination, or to any third party.

 

ARTICLE 24 - DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION

 

24.01. If the Building or the Demised Premises shall be partially or totally
damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty (and if this Lease shall not be
terminated as in this Article 24 hereinafter provided), Landlord shall repair
the damage and restore and rebuild the Building and/or the Demised Premises
(except for the Tenant’s Property) with reasonable dispatch after notice to it
of the damage or destruction and the collection of the insurance proceeds
attributable to such damage.

 

24.02. Subject to the provisions of Section 24.05, if all or part of the Demised
Premises shall be damaged or destroyed or rendered completely or partially
untenantable on account of fire or other casualty, the Rent shall be abated or
reduced, as the case may be, in the proportion that the untenantable area of the
Demised Premises bears to the total area of the Demised Premises, for the period
from the date of the damage or destruction to (a) the date the damage to the
Demised Premises shall be substantially repaired, or (b) if the Building and not
the Demised Premises is so damaged or destroyed, the date on which the Demised
Premises shall be made tenantable; provided, however, should Tenant reoccupy a
portion of the Demised Premises during the period the repair or restoration work
is taking place and prior to the date that the Demised Premises are
substantially repaired or made tenantable the Rent allocable to such reoccupied
portion, based upon the proportion which the area of the reoccupied portion of
the Demised Premises bears to the total area of the Demised Premises, shall be
payable by Tenant from the date of such occupancy.

 

24.03. If (a) the Building or the Demised Premises shall be totally damaged or
destroyed by fire or other casualty, or (b) the Building shall be so damaged or
destroyed by fire or other casualty (whether or not the Demised Premises are
damaged or destroyed) that its repair or restoration requires the expenditure,
as estimated by a reputable contractor or architect designated by Landlord, of
more than twenty percent (20%) (or ten percent [10%] if such casualty occurs
during the last two [2] years of the Term) of the full insurable value of the
Building immediately prior to the casualty, or (c) the Building shall be damaged
or destroyed by fire or other casualty (whether or not the Demised Premises are
damaged or destroyed) and either the loss shall not be covered by Landlord’s
insurance or the net insurance proceeds (after deducting all expenses in
connection with obtaining such proceeds) shall, in the estimation of a reputable
contractor or architect designated by Landlord be insufficient to pay for the
repair or restoration work, then in either such case Landlord may terminate this
Lease by giving Tenant notice to such effect within ninety (90) days after the
date of the fire or other casualty.

 

24.04. Notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary, Landlord
hereby agrees to advise Tenant (“Landlord’s Notice”), within thirty (30) days of
the date of any fire or other

 

34

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

 

casualty, as to whether or not Landlord will be able to restore the Demised
Premises to a tenantable condition within eighteen (18) months from the date of
the casualty.  In the event Landlord advises Tenant that it cannot so restore
the Demised Premises within said eighteen (18) month period, Tenant shall have
the right to terminate this Lease which right must be exercised within ten (10)
business days of the receipt of Landlord’s Notice.  In the event Landlord
advises Tenant that it is able to restore the Premises within said eighteen (18)
month period, or, in the event Tenant fails to so advise Landlord within the ten
(10) business day period that it desires to terminate the Lease, then the
provisions of Article 24.01 through 24.03 shall control.  In the event Landlord
advises Tenant it is able to restore the Demised Premises to a tenantable
condition within eighteen (18) months from the date of any fire or other
casualty, or, in the alternative, Tenant failed to timely advise Landlord that
it intended to terminate the Lease such that Landlord commenced restoration of
same, and in either such case, Landlord fails to restore the Premises to a
tenantable condition within said eighteen (18) month period, Tenant shall have
the right to terminate this Lease by delivering written notice to Landlord to
that effect within ten (10) business days of the last day of said eighteen (18)
month period.  “Tenantable condition,” as that term is used herein, shall mean
that the Demised Premises are substantially completed such that Tenant may
commence its “Tenant’s Work” (i.e. the installation of Tenant’s fixtures,
furniture and equipment necessary to conduct its business) to ready the Demised
Premises for Tenant’s occupancy.

 

24.05. Except as expressly provided herein, Tenant shall not be entitled to
terminate this Lease and no damages, compensation or claim shall be payable by
Landlord for inconvenience, loss of business or annoyance arising from any
repair or restoration of any portion of the Demised Premises or of the Building
pursuant to this Article 24.  Landlord shall use its best efforts to make such
repair or restoration promptly and in such manner as not unreasonably to
interfere with Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Demised Premises, but Landlord
shall not be required to do such repair or restoration work except during
Business Hours on Business Days.

 

24.06. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions of this Article 24, if by
reason of some act or omission on the part of Tenant or any of its subtenants or
its or their partners, directors, officers, servants, employees, agents or
contractors, either (a) Landlord or any Superior Lessor or any Superior
Mortgagee shall be unable to collect all of the insurance proceeds (including,
without limitation, rent insurance proceeds) applicable to damage or destruction
of the Demised Premises or the Building by fire or other casualty, or (b) the
Demised Premises or the Building shall be damaged or destroyed or rendered
completely or partially untenantable on account of fire or other casualty, then,
without prejudice to any other remedies which may be available against Tenant,
there shall be no abatement or reduction of the Rent.  Further, nothing
contained in this Article 24 shall relieve Tenant from any liability that may
exist as a result of any damage or destruction by fire or other casualty.

 

24.07. Landlord will not carry insurance of any kind on the Tenant’s Property,
and, except as provided by law or by reason of Landlord’s breach of any of its
obligations hereunder, shall not be obligated to repair any damage to or replace
the Tenant’s Property.

 

24.08. The provisions of this Article 24 shall be deemed an express agreement
governing

 

35

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

 

any case of damage or destruction of the Demised Premises and/or Building by
fire or other casualty, and any law providing for such a contingency in the
absence of an express agreement, now or hereafter in force, shall have no
application in such case.

 

ARTICLE 25 - EMINENT DOMAIN

 

25.01. If the whole of the Demised Premises shall be taken by any public or
quasi-public authority under the power of condemnation, eminent domain or
expropriation, or in the event of conveyance of the whole of the Demised
Premises in lieu thereof, this Lease shall terminate as of the day possession
shall be taken by such authority.  If 15% or less of the Floor Space of the
Demised Premises shall be so taken or conveyed, this Lease shall terminate only
in respect of the part so taken or conveyed as of the day possession shall be
taken by such authority.  If more than 15% of the Floor Space of the Demised
Premises shall be so taken or conveyed, this Lease shall terminate only in
respect of the part so taken or conveyed as of the day possession shall be taken
by such authority, but either party shall have the right to terminate this Lease
upon notice given to the other party within 30 days after such taking
possession.  If more than 25% of the Floor Space of the Building shall be so
taken or conveyed, Landlord may, by notice to Tenant, terminate this Lease as of
the day possession shall be taken.  If so much of the parking facilities shall
be so taken or conveyed that the number of parking spaces necessary, in
Landlord’s judgment, for the continued operation of the Building shall not be
available, Landlord shall, by notice to Tenant, terminate this Lease as of the
day possession shall be taken.  If this Lease shall continue in effect as to any
portion of the Demised Premises not so taken or conveyed, the Rent shall be
computed as of the day possession shall be taken on the basis of the remaining
Floor Space of the Demised Premises.  Except as specifically provided herein, in
the event of any such taking or conveyance there shall be no reduction in Rent. 
If this Lease shall continue in effect, Landlord shall, at its expense, but
shall be obligated only to the extent of the net award or other compensation
(after deducting all expenses in connection with obtaining same) available to
Landlord for the improvements taken or conveyed (excluding any award or other
compensation for land or for the unexpired portion of the term of any Superior
Lease), make all necessary alterations so as to constitute the remaining
Building a complete architectural and tenantable unit, except for the Tenant’s
Property, and Tenant shall make all alterations or replacements to the Tenant’s
Property and decorations in the Demised Premises.  All awards and compensation
for any taking or conveyance, whether for the whole or a part of the Land or
Building, the Demised Premised or otherwise, shall be the property of Landlord,
and Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord all of Tenant’s right, title and interest
in and to any and all such awards and compensation, including, without
limitation, any award or compensation for the value of the unexpired portion of
the Term.  Tenant shall be entitled to claim, prove and receive in the
condemnation proceeding such award or compensation as may be allowed for the
Tenant’s Property and for loss of business, good will, and depreciation or
injury to and cost of removal of the Tenant’s Property, but only if such award
or compensation shall be made by the condemning authority in addition to, and
shall not result in a reduction of, the award or compensation made by it to
Landlord.

 

25.02. If the temporary use or occupancy of all or any part of the Demised
Premises shall be taken during the Term, Tenant shall be entitled, except as
hereinafter set forth, to receive that

 

36

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

 

portion of the award or payment for such taking which represents compensation
for the use and occupancy of the Demised Premises, for the taking of the
Tenant’s Property and for moving expenses, and Landlord shall be entitled to
receive that portion which represents reimbursement for the cost of restoration
of the Demised Premises.  This Lease shall be and remain unaffected by such
taking and Tenant shall continue to be responsible for all of its obligations
hereunder insofar as such obligations are not affected by such taking and shall
continue to pay the Rent in full when due.  If the period of temporary use or
occupancy shall extend beyond the Expiration Date, that part of the award or
payment which represents compensation for the use and occupancy of the Demised
Premises (or a part thereof) shall be divided between Landlord and Tenant so
that Tenant shall receive (except as otherwise provided below) so much thereof
as represents compensation for the period up to and including the Expiration
Date and Landlord shall receive so much thereof as represents compensation for
the period after the Expiration Date.  All monies to be paid to Tenant as, or as
part of, an award or payment for temporary use and occupancy for a period beyond
the date to which the Rent has been paid shall be received, held and applied by
the first Superior Mortgagee (or if there is no Superior Mortgagee, by Landlord
as a trust fund) for payment of the Rent becoming due hereunder.

 

37

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

 

ARTICLE 26 - SURRENDER

 

26.01. On the Expiration Date, or upon any earlier termination of this Lease, or
upon any re-entry by Landlord upon the Demised Premises, Tenant shall quit and
surrender the Demised Premises to Landlord “broom-clean” and in good order,
condition and repair, except for ordinary wear and tear and such damage or
destruction as Landlord is required to repair or restore under this Lease, and
Tenant shall remove all of Tenant’s Property therefrom except as otherwise
expressly provided in this Lease.

 

26.02. If Tenant remains in possession of the Demised Premises after the
expiration of the Term, Tenant shall be deemed to be occupying the Demised
Premises at the sufferance of Landlord subject to all of the provisions of this
Lease, except that the monthly Fixed Rent shall be 150% of the Fixed Rent in
effect for the last month of the Term for the first month of any such occupancy
at the sufferance of Landlord after the expiration of the Term and twice (200%)
the Fixed Rent in effect during the last month of the Term for any continued
occupancy at the sufferance of Landlord thereafter.

 

26.03. No act or thing done by Landlord or its agents shall be deemed an
acceptance of a surrender of the Demised Premises, and no agreement to accept
such surrender shall be valid unless in writing and signed by Landlord.

 

ARTICLE 27 - CONDITIONS OF LIMITATION

 

27.01. This Lease is subject to the limitation that whenever Tenant or any
Guarantor (a) shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or
(b) shall commence a voluntary case or have entered against it an order for
relief under any chapter of the Federal Bankruptcy Code (Title 11 of the United
States Code) or any similar order or decree under any federal or state law, now
in existence, or hereafter enacted having the same general purpose, and such
order or decree shall have not been stayed or vacated within 30 days after
entry, or (c) shall cause, suffer, permit or consent to the appointment of a
receiver, trustee, administrator, conservator, sequestrator, liquidator or
similar official in any federal, state or foreign judicial or nonjudicial
proceeding, to hold, administer and/or liquidate all or substantially all of its
assets, and such appointment shall not have been revoked, terminated, stayed or
vacated and such official discharged of his duties within 30 days of his
appointment, then Landlord, at any time after the occurrence of any such event,
may give Tenant a notice of intention to end the Term at the expiration of five
(5) days from the date of service of such notice of intention, and upon the
expiration of said five (5) day period, whether or not the Term shall
theretofore have commenced, this Lease shall terminate with the same effect as
if that day were the expiration date of this Lease, but Tenant shall remain
liable for damages as provided in Article 29.

 

27.02. This Lease is subject to the further limitations that: (a) if Tenant
shall default in the payment of any Rent, or (b) if Tenant shall, whether by
action or inaction, be in default of any of its obligations under this Lease
(other than a default in the payment of Rent) and such default shall

 

38

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

 

continue and not be remedied within fifteen (15) days after Landlord shall have
given to Tenant a notice specifying the same, or, in the case of a default which
cannot with due diligence be cured within a period of fifteen (15) days and the
continuance of which for the period required for cure will not subject Landlord
or any Superior Lessor to prosecution for a crime or offense (as more
particularly described in the last sentence of Section 12.02) or termination of
any Superior Lease or foreclosure of any Superior Mortgage, if Tenant shall not,
(i) within said fifteen (15) day period advise Landlord of Tenant’s intention to
take all steps necessary to remedy such default, (ii) duly commence within said
fifteen (15) day period, and thereafter diligently prosecute to completion all
steps necessary to remedy the default, and (iii) complete such remedy within a
reasonable time after the date of said notice by Landlord, or (c) if any event
shall occur or any contingency shall arise whereby this Lease would, by
operation of law or otherwise, devolve upon or pass to any person, firm or
corporation other than Tenant, except as expressly permitted by Article 11, or
(d) if Tenant shall vacate or abandon the Demised Premises, or (e) if there
shall be any default by Tenant (or any person which, directly or indirectly,
controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with Tenant) under any
other lease with Landlord (or any person which, directly or indirectly,
controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with Landlord) which
shall not be remedied within the applicable grace period, if any, provided
therefor under such other lease, then in any of said cases Landlord may give to
Tenant a notice of intention to end the Term at the expiration of five (5) days
from the date of the service of such notice of intention, and upon the
expiration of said five (5) days, whether or not the Term shall theretofore have
commenced, this Lease shall terminate with the same effect as if that day were
the expiration date of this Lease, but Tenant shall remain liable for damages as
provided in Article 29.

 

ARTICLE 28 - RE-ENTRY BY LANDLORD

 

28.01. If Tenant shall default in the payment of any Rent, or if this Lease
shall terminate as provided in Article 27, Landlord or Landlord’s agents and
employees may immediately or at any time thereafter re-enter the Demised
Premises, or any part thereof, either by summary dispossess proceedings or by
any suitable action or proceeding at law without being liable to indictment,
prosecution or damages therefor, and may repossess the same, and may remove any
Person therefrom, to the end that Landlord may have, hold and enjoy the Demised
Premises.  The word “re-enter,” as used herein, is not restricted to its
technical legal meaning.  If this Lease is terminated under the provisions of
Article 27, or if Landlord shall re-enter the Demised Premises under the
provisions of this Article 28, or in the event of the termination of this Lease,
or of re-entry, by or under any summary dispossess or other proceedings or
action or any provision of law by reason of default hereunder on the part of
Tenant, Tenant shall thereupon pay to Landlord the Rent payable up to the time
of such termination of this Lease, or of such recovery of possession of the
Demised Premises by Landlord, as the case may be, and shall also pay to Landlord
damages as provided in Article 29.

 

28.02. In the event of a breach or threatened breach by Tenant of any of its
obligations under this Lease, Landlord shall also have the right of injunction. 
The special remedies to which Landlord may resort hereunder are cumulative and
are not intended to be exclusive of any other remedies to

 

39

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

 

which Landlord may lawfully be entitled at any time and Landlord may invoke any
remedy allowed at law or in equity as if specific remedies were not provided for
herein.

 

28.03. If this Lease shall terminate under the provisions of Article 27, or if
Landlord shall re-enter the Demised Premises under the provisions of this
Article 28, or in the event of the termination of this Lease, or of re-entry, by
or under any summary dispossess or other proceeding or action or any provision
of law by reason of default hereunder on the part of Tenant, Landlord shall be
entitled to retain all monies, if any, paid by Tenant to Landlord, whether as
Advance Rent, security or otherwise, but such monies shall be credited by
Landlord against any Rent due from Tenant at the time of such termination or
re-entry or, at Landlord’s option, against any damages payable by Tenant under
Article 29 or pursuant to law.

 

ARTICLE 29 - DAMAGES

 

29.01. If this Lease is terminated under the provisions of Article 27, or if
Landlord shall re-enter the Demised Premises under the provisions of Article 28,
or in the event of the termination of this Lease, or of re-entry, by or under
any summary dispossess or other proceeding or action or any provision of law by
reason of default hereunder on the part of Tenant, Tenant shall pay as
Additional Charges to Landlord, at the election of Landlord, either or any
combination of:

 

(a)  a sum which at the time of such termination of this Lease or at the time of
any such re-entry by Landlord, as the case may be, represents the then value of
the excess, if any, of (i) the aggregate amount of the Rent which would have
been payable by Tenant (conclusively presuming the average monthly Additional
Charges to be the same as were the average monthly Additional Charges payable
for the year, or if less than 365 days have then elapsed since the Commencement
Date, the partial year, immediately preceding such termination or re-entry) for
the period commencing with such earlier termination of this Lease or the date of
any such re-entry, as the case may be, and ending with the Expiration Date, over
(ii) the aggregate rental value of the Demised Premises for the same period; or

 

(b)  sums equal to the Fixed Rent and the Additional Charges which would have
been payable by Tenant had this Lease not so terminated, or had Landlord not so
re-entered the Demised Premises, payable upon the due dates therefor specified
herein following such termination or such re-entry and until the Expiration
Date, provided, however, that if Landlord shall relet the Demised Premises
during said period, Landlord shall credit Tenant with the net rents received by
Landlord from such reletting, such net rents to be determined by first deducting
from the gross rents as and when received by Landlord from such reletting the
expenses incurred or paid by Landlord in terminating this Lease or in
re-entering the Demised Premises and in securing possession thereof, as well as
the expenses of reletting, including, without limitation, altering and preparing
the Demised Premises for new tenants, brokers’ commissions, legal fees, and all
other expenses properly chargeable against the Demised Premises and the rental
therefrom, it being understood that any such reletting may be for a period
shorter or longer than the period ending on the Expiration Date; but in no

 

40

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

 

event shall Tenant be entitled to receive any excess of such net rents over the
sums payable by Tenant to Landlord hereunder, nor shall Tenant be entitled in
any suit for the collection of damages pursuant to this subsection (b) to a
credit in respect of any rents from a reletting, except to the extent that such
net rents are actually received by Landlord.  If the Demised Premises or any
part thereof should be relet in combination with other space, then proper
apportionment on a square foot basis shall be made of the rent received from
such reletting and of the expenses of reletting; or

 

(c) a sum which at the time of such termination of this Lease or at the time of
any such re-entry by Landlord, as the case may be, represents the aggregate
amount of the Rent which would have been payable by Tenant (conclusively
presuming the average monthly Additional Charges to be the same as were the
average monthly Additional Charges payable for the year, or if less than 365
days have then elapsed since the Commencement Date, the partial year,
immediately preceding such termination or re-entry) for the period commencing
with such earlier termination of this Lease or the date of any such re-entry, as
the case may be, and ending with the Expiration Date; provided, however, that if
Landlord shall relet the Demised Premises during said period, Landlord shall
credit Tenant with the net rents received by Landlord from such reletting, such
net rents to be determined by first deducting from the gross rents as and when
received by Landlord from such reletting the expenses incurred or paid by
Landlord in terminating this Lease or in re-entering the Demised Premises and in
securing possession thereof, as well as the expenses of reletting, including,
without limitation, altering and preparing the Demised Premises for new tenants,
brokers’ commissions, legal fees, and all other expenses properly chargeable
against the Demised Premises and the rental therefrom, it being understood that
any such reletting may be for a period shorter or longer than the period ending
on the Expiration Date; but in no event shall Landlord have to account to Tenant
for any rents in excess of the total damages recovered by Landlord hereunder,
nor shall Tenant be entitled in any suit for the collection of damages pursuant
to this subdivision (c) to a credit in respect of any rents from a reletting,
except to the extent that such net rents are actually received by Landlord.  If
the Demised Premises or any part thereof should be relet in combination with
other space, then proper apportionment on a square foot basis shall be made of
the rent received from such reletting and of the expenses of reletting.

 

If the Demised Premises or any part thereof should be relet by Landlord before
presentation of proof of such damages to any court, commission or tribunal, the
amount of rent payable under the new lease(s) shall, prima facie, be the fair
and reasonable rental value for the Demised Premises, or part thereof, so relet
during the term of the reletting.  Landlord shall not be liable in any way
whatsoever for its failure to relet the Demised Premises or any part thereof, or
if the Demised Premises or any part thereof are relet, for its failure to
collect the rent under such reletting, and no such failure to relet or failure
to collect rent shall release or affect Tenant’s liability for damages or
otherwise under this Lease. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts
to relet the Demised Premises to mitigate Landlord’s damages. For the purposes
hereof, “commercially reasonable efforts” shall mean the following actions,
which actions shall create an irrebuttable presumption that Landlord has
fulfilled such obligation: (i) Landlord shall include the availability of the
Demised Premises in

 

41

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

 

Landlord’s monthly listing to brokers (if any), commencing with the first such
report (if any) issued following Landlord’s recovery of possession of the
Demised Premises, and ending upon re-leasing of the Demised Premises; and
(ii) Landlord shall include the availability of the Demised Premises in
Landlord’s internet web site (if any), commencing promptly following Landlord’s
recovery of possession of the Demised Premises, and ending upon re-leasing of
the Demised Premises; and (iii) Landlord shall hold an “Open House” for the
Demised Premises within sixty (60) days of Landlord’s recovery of possession of
the Demised Premises, or (iv) in lieu of (i), (ii) and (iii) of this paragraph,
upon Tenant’s written request, Landlord shall engage an independent commercial
real estate broker to relet the Demised Premises, the cost and expense of which
shall be an element of Landlord’s damages in addition to any other damages
recoverable pursuant to Section 29.01 hereof. Nothing contained herein shall
require Landlord to relet the Demised Premises prior to or with any preference
over the leasing of any other similar premises of Landlord or any affiliate of
Landlord, nor shall any rental of such other premises reduce the damages which
Landlord would be entitled to recover from Tenant.  In the event Tenant, on
behalf of itself or any and all persons claiming through or under Tenant,
attempts to raise a defense or assert any affirmative obligations on Landlord’s
part to mitigate such damages or relet the Demised Premises other than as
provided herein, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any costs and expenses
incurred by Landlord as a result of any such defense or assertion, including but
not limited to Landlord’s attorneys’ fees incurred in connection therewith.

 

29.02. Suit or suits for the recovery of such damages or, any installments
thereof, may be brought by Landlord at any time and from time to time at its
election, and nothing contained herein shall be deemed to require Landlord to
postpone suit until the date when the Term would have expired if it had not been
so terminated under the provisions of Article 27, or under any provision of law,
or had Landlord not re-entered the Demised Premises.  Nothing herein contained
shall be construed to limit or preclude recovery by Landlord against Tenant of
any sums or damages to which, in addition to the damages particularly provided
above, Landlord may lawfully be entitled by reason of any default hereunder on
the part of Tenant.  Nothing herein contained shall be construed to limit or
prejudice the right of Landlord to prove for and obtain as damages by reason of
the termination of this Lease or re-entry of the Demised Premises for the
default of Tenant under this Lease, an amount equal to the maximum allowed by
any statute or rule of law in effect at the time, whether or not such amount be
greater than, equal to, or less than any of the sums referred to in
Section 29.01.

 

29.03. In addition, if this Lease is terminated under the provisions of
Article 27, or if Landlord shall re-enter the Demised Premises under the
provisions of Article 28, Tenant covenants that:  (a) the Demised Premises then
shall be in the same condition as that in which Tenant has agreed to surrender
the same to Landlord at the Expiration Date; (b) Tenant shall have performed
prior to any such termination any obligation of Tenant contained in this Lease
for the making of any alteration or for restoring or rebuilding the Demised
Premises or the Building, or any part thereof; and (c) for the breach of any
covenant of Tenant set forth above in this Section 29.03, Landlord shall be
entitled immediately, without notice or other action by Landlord, to recover,
and Tenant shall pay, as and for liquidated damages therefor, the cost of
performing such covenant (as estimated by an independent contractor selected by
Landlord).

 

42

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

 

29.04. In addition to any other remedies Landlord may have under this Lease, and
without reducing or adversely affecting any of Landlord’s rights and remedies
under this Article 29, if any Rent or damages payable hereunder by Tenant to
Landlord are not paid upon demand therefor, the same shall bear interest at the
Late Payment Rate or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is less, from
the due date thereof until paid, and the amounts of such interest shall be
Additional Charges hereunder.

 

29.05. In addition to any remedies which Landlord may have under this Lease, if
there shall be a default hereunder by Tenant which shall not have been remedied
within the applicable grace period, Landlord shall not be obligated to furnish
to Tenant or the Demised Premises any HVAC services outside of Business Hours or
Business Days, or any extra or additional cleaning services; and the
discontinuance of any one or more such services shall be without liability by
Landlord to Tenant and shall not reduce, diminish or otherwise affect any of
Tenant’s covenants and obligations under this Lease.

 

ARTICLE 30 - AFFIRMATIVE WAIVERS

 

30.01. Tenant, on behalf of itself and any and all persons claiming through or
under Tenant, does hereby waive and surrender all right and privilege which it,
they or any of them might have under or by reason of any present or future law,
to redeem the Demised Premises or to have a continuance of this Lease after
being dispossessed or ejected from the Demised Premises by process of law or
under the terms of this Lease or after the termination of this Lease as provided
in this Lease.

 

30.02. Landlord and Tenant hereby waive trial by jury in any action, proceeding
or counterclaim brought by either against the other on any matter whatsoever
arising out of or in any way connected with this Lease, the relationship of
Landlord and Tenant, and Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Demised Premises and
use of the Common Area, including, without limitation, any claim of injury or
damage, and any emergency and other statutory remedy with respect thereto. 
Tenant shall not interpose any counterclaim of any kind in any action or
proceeding commenced by Landlord to recover possession of the Demised Premises.

 

ARTICLE 31 - NO WAIVERS

 

31.01. The failure of either party to insist in any one or more instances upon
the strict performance of any one or more of the obligations of this Lease, or
to exercise any election herein contained, shall not be construed as a waiver or
relinquishment for the future of the performance of such one or more obligations
of this Lease or of the right to exercise such election, but the same shall
continue and remain in full force and effect with respect to any subsequent
breach, act or omission.  The receipt by Landlord of Fixed Rent or Additional
Charges with knowledge of breach by Tenant of any obligation of this Lease shall
not be deemed a waiver of such breach.

 

43

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

 

ARTICLE 32 - CURING TENANT’S DEFAULTS

 

32.01. If Tenant shall default in the performance of any of Tenant’s obligations
under this Lease, Landlord, without thereby waiving such default, may (but shall
not be obligated to) perform the same for the account and at the expense of
Tenant, without notice in a case of emergency, and in any other case only if
such default continues after the expiration of fifteen (15) days from the date
Landlord gives Tenant notice of the default.  Charges for any expenses incurred
by Landlord in connection with any such performance by it for the account of
Tenant, and charges for all costs, expenses and disbursements of every kind and
nature whatsoever, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, involved
in collecting or endeavoring to collect the Rent or any part thereof or
enforcing or endeavoring to enforce any rights against Tenant or Tenant’s
obligations hereunder, under or in connection with this Lease or pursuant to
law, including any such cost, expense and disbursement involved in instituting
and prosecuting summary proceedings or in recovering possession of the Demised
Premises after default by Tenant or upon the expiration of the Term or sooner
termination of this Lease, and interest on all sums advanced by Landlord under
this Article at the Late Payment Rate or the maximum rate permitted by law,
whichever is less, shall be payable by Tenant and may be invoiced by Landlord to
Tenant monthly, or immediately, or at any time, at Landlord’s option, and such
amounts shall be due and payable upon demand.

 

ARTICLE 33 - BROKER

 

33.01. Tenant represents that no broker except the Broker was instrumental in
bringing about or consummating this Lease and that Tenant had no conversations
or negotiations with any broker except the Broker concerning the leasing of the
Demised Premises.  Tenant agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Landlord against
and from any claims for any brokerage commissions and all costs, expenses and
liabilities in connection therewith, including, without limitation, attorneys’
fees and expenses, arising out of any conversations or negotiations had by
Tenant with any broker other than the Broker.  Landlord shall pay any brokerage
commissions due the Broker pursuant to a separate agreement between Landlord and
the Broker.

 

ARTICLE 34 - NOTICES

 

34.01. Any notice, statement, demand, consent, approval or other communication
required or permitted to be given, rendered or made by either party to the
other, pursuant to this Lease or pursuant to any applicable Legal Requirement,
shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been properly given, rendered or
made only if (i) hand delivered, or (ii) sent by United States registered or
certified mail, return receipt requested, or (iii) sent by overnight courier,
addressed to the other party at the address hereinabove set forth [except that
after the Commencement Date, Tenant’s address, unless Tenant shall give notice
to the contrary, shall be the Building (Attention: Real Estate, with a copy to
the General Counsel’s Office) as to Landlord, to the attention of General
Counsel with a concurrent notice to the attention of Executive Vice
President/Administration, and shall be deemed to have been given, rendered or
made upon receipt or rejection Either party may, by notice as

 

44

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

 

aforesaid, designate a different address or addresses for notices, statements,
demands, consents, approvals or other communications intended for it.  In
addition, upon and to the extent requested by Landlord, copies of notices shall
be sent to the Superior Mortgagee.

 

ARTICLE 35 - ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES

 

35.01. Tenant shall, at any time and from time to time, as requested by the
Landlord, upon not less than fifteen (15) days’ prior notice, execute and
deliver to the Landlord or a Superior Mortgagee or Superior Lessor a statement
certifying that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or if
there have been modifications, that the same is in full force and effect as
modified and stating the modifications), certifying the dates to which the Fixed
Rent and Additional Charges have been paid, stating whether or not, to the best
knowledge of the party giving the statement, the requesting party is in default
in performance of any of its obligations under this Lease, and, if so,
specifying each such default of which the party giving the statement shall have
knowledge, and stating whether or not, to the best knowledge of the party giving
the statement, any event has occurred which with the giving of notice or passage
of time, or both, would constitute such a default of the requesting party, and,
if so, specifying each such event; any such statement delivered pursuant hereto
shall be deemed a representation and warranty to be relied upon by the party
requesting the certificate and by others with whom such party may be dealing,
regardless of independent investigation. Tenant also shall include in any such
statement such other information concerning this Lease as Landlord may
reasonably request. In the event Tenant shall be requested by Landlord to
execute more than one (1) estoppel certificate in any one Calendar Year of the
Term, the first estoppel certificate so requested shall be free of charge;
thereafter, Landlord shall be obligated to pay Tenant an administrative fee of
$150.00 for each estoppel certificate after the first estoppel certificate
requested in any Calendar Year.

 

ARTICLE 36 - ARBITRATION

 

36.01. Landlord may at any time request arbitration (but shall not be obligated
to), and Tenant may at any time when not in default in the payment of any Rent
request arbitration (but shall not be obligated to), of any matter in dispute
but only where arbitration is expressly provided for in this Lease.  The party
requesting arbitration shall do so by giving notice to that effect to the other
party, specifying in said notice the nature of the dispute, and said dispute
shall be determined in Newark, New Jersey, by a single arbitrator, in accordance
with the rules then obtaining of the American Arbitration Association (or any
comparable organization designated by Landlord).  The award in such arbitration
may be enforced on the application of either party by the order or judgment of a
court of competent jurisdiction.  The fees and expenses of any arbitration shall
be borne by the parties equally, but each party shall bear the expense of its
own attorneys and experts and the additional expenses of presenting its own
proof.  If Tenant gives notice requesting arbitration as provided in this
Article, Tenant shall simultaneously serve a duplicate of the notice on each
Superior Mortgagee and Superior Lessor whose name and address shall previously
have been furnished to Tenant, and such Superior Mortgagees and Superior Lessor
shall have the right to participate

 

45

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

 

in such arbitration.

 

ARTICLE 37 - MEMORANDUM OF LEASE

 

37.01. Tenant shall not record this Lease.  However, at the request of Landlord,
Tenant shall promptly execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord a memorandum
of lease in respect of this Lease sufficient for recording.  Such memorandum
shall not be deemed to change or otherwise affect any of the obligations or
provisions of this Lease.  Whichever party records such memorandum of Lease
shall pay all recording costs and expenses, including any taxes that are due
upon such recording.

 

46

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

 

ARTICLE 38 — OPTION TO EXTEND

 

38.01. Provided Tenant is in compliance with all of the terms and conditions
contained herein, and provided Tenant has not assigned this Lease or sublet all
or any portion of the Demised Premises and is itself in occupation and
conducting business in the whole of the Demised Premises in accordance with the
terms of this Lease, Tenant expressly acknowledging and agreeing that the option
right contained herein is personal to the original named Tenant, Tenant shall
have one (1) option to extend the Term of its lease of the Demised Premises,
from the date upon which this Lease would otherwise expire, for one (1) period
of five (5) years (the “Extended Period”), upon the following terms and
conditions:

 

1.             If Tenant elects to exercise said option, it shall do so by
giving notice of such election to Landlord on or before the date which is one
(1) year before the beginning of the Extended Period for which the Term is to be
extended by the exercise of such option.  Tenant agrees that it shall have
forever waived its right to exercise such option if it shall fail for any reason
whatsoever to give such notice to Landlord by the time provided herein for the
giving of such notice, whether such failure is inadvertent or intentional, time
being of the essence as to the exercise of such option.

 

2.             If Tenant elects to exercise said option, the Term shall be
automatically extended for the Extended Period without execution of an extension
or renewal lease.  Within ten (10) days after request of either party following
the effective exercise of such option, however, Landlord and Tenant shall
execute, acknowledge and deliver to each other duplicate originals of an
instrument in recordable form confirming that such option was effectively
exercised.

 

3.             The Extended Period shall be upon the same terms and conditions
as are in effect immediately preceding the commencement of such Extended Period;
provided, however, that Tenant shall have no right or option to extend the Term
for any period of time beyond the expiration of the Extended Period and,
provided further, that in the Extended Period(s) the Fixed Rent shall be at 100%
of Fair Market Value (“FMV”). FMV shall be determined by mutual agreement of the
parties.  If the parties are unable to agree on the FMV within thirty (30) days
of Tenant’s exercise of its option, the parties shall choose a licensed Real
Estate Appraiser who shall determine the FMV.  The cost of said Real Estate
Appraiser shall be borne equally by the parties.  If the parties are unable to
agree on a licensed Real Estate Appraiser within forty-five (45) days of
Tenant’s exercise of its option, each party shall select one Appraiser to
appraise the FMV.  All appraisals shall be rendered within thirty (30) days of
appointment of the respective Appraiser appointed under this paragraph.  If the
difference between the two appraisals is 20% or less of the lower appraisal,
then the FMV shall be the average of the two appraisals.  If the difference
between the two appraisals is greater than 20% of the lower appraisal, the two
Appraisers shall select a third licensed Real Estate Appraiser to appraise the
FMV.  The FMV shall in such case be the average of the three appraisals.  The
cost of the third appraisal shall be borne equally by the parties. 
Notwithstanding the determination of FMV, the Fixed Rent during the Extended
Period

 

47

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

 

shall in no event be less than the Fixed Rent in effect during the last year of
the term.

 

4.             Any termination, expiration, cancellation or surrender of this
Lease shall terminate any right or option for the Extended Period not yet
exercised.

 

5.             Intentionally omitted.

 

6.             The option provided herein to extend the Term of the Lease may
not be severed from the Lease or separately sold, assigned or otherwise
transferred.

 

ARTICLE 39 - MISCELLANEOUS

 

39.01. Tenant expressly acknowledges and agrees that Landlord has not made and
is not making, and Tenant, in executing and delivering this Lease, is not
relying upon, any warranties, representations, promises or statements, except to
the extent that the same are expressly set forth in this Lease or in any other
written agreement(s) which may be made between the parties concurrently with the
execution and delivery of this Lease.  All understandings and agreements
heretofore had between the parties are merged in this Lease and any other
written agreement(s) made concurrently herewith, which alone fully and
completely express the agreement of the parties and which are entered into after
full investigation.  Neither party has relied upon any statement or
representation not embodied in this Lease or in any other written
agreement(s) made concurrently herewith.  The submission of this Lease to Tenant
does not constitute by Landlord a reservation of, or an option to Tenant for,
the Demised Premises, or an offer to lease on the terms set forth herein and
this Lease shall become effective as a lease agreement only upon execution and
delivery thereof by Landlord and Tenant.

 

39.02. No agreement shall be effective to change, modify, waive, release,
discharge, terminate or effect an abandonment of this Lease, in whole or in
part, unless such agreement is in writing, refers expressly to this Lease and is
signed by the party against whom enforcement of the change, modification,
waiver, release, discharge, termination or effectuation of abandonment is
sought.

 

39.03. If Tenant shall at any time request Landlord to sublet or let the Demised
Premises for Tenant’s account, Landlord or its agent is authorized to receive
keys for such purposes without releasing Tenant from any of its obligations
under this Lease, and Tenant hereby releases Landlord of any liability for loss
or damage to any of the Tenant’s Property in connection with such subletting or
letting.

 

39.04. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Lease, the obligations
under this Lease shall bind and benefit the successors and assigns of the
parties hereto with the same effect as if mentioned in each instance where a
party is named or referred to; provided, however, that (a) no violation of the
provisions of Article 11 shall operate to vest any rights in any successor or

 

48

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

 

assignee of Tenant and (b) the provisions of this Section 39.04 shall not be
construed as modifying the conditions of limitation contained in Article 27.

 

39.05. Except for Tenant’s obligations to pay Rent, the time for Landlord or
Tenant, as the case may be, to perform any of its respective obligations
hereunder shall be extended if and to the extent that the performance thereof
shall be prevented due to any Unavoidable Delay.  Except as expressly provided
to the contrary, the obligations of Tenant hereunder shall not be affected,
impaired or excused, nor shall Landlord have any liability whatsoever to Tenant,
(a) because Landlord is unable to fulfill, or is delayed in fulfilling, any of
its obligations under this Lease due to any of the matters set forth in the
first sentence of this Section 39.05, or (b) because of any failure or defect in
the supply, quality or character of electricity, water or any other utility or
service furnished to the Demised Premises for any reason beyond Landlord’s
reasonable control.

 

39.06. Any liability for payments hereunder (including, without limitation,
Additional Charges) shall survive the expiration of the Term or earlier
termination of this Lease.

 

39.07. If Tenant shall request Landlord’s consent and Landlord shall fail or
refuse to give such consent, Tenant shall not be entitled to any damages for any
withholding by Landlord of its consent; Tenant’s sole remedy shall be an action
for specific performance or injunction, and such remedy shall be available only
in those cases where Landlord has expressly agreed in writing not to
unreasonably withhold or delay its consent or where as a matter of law Landlord
may not unreasonably withhold its consent.

 

39.08. If an excavation shall be made upon land adjacent to or under the
Building, or shall be authorized to be made, Tenant shall, upon mutually
acceptable terms and during mutually acceptable hours, afford to the Person
causing or authorized to cause such excavation, license to enter the Demised
Premises for the purpose of performing such work as said Person shall reasonably
deem necessary or desirable to preserve and protect the Building from injury or
damage and to support the same by proper foundations, without any claim for
damages or liability against Landlord and without reducing or otherwise
affecting Tenant’s obligations under this Lease.

 

39.09. Tenant shall not exercise its rights under Article 15 or any other
provision of this Lease in a manner which would violate Landlord’s union
contracts or create any work stoppage, picketing, labor disruption or dispute or
any interference with the business of Landlord or any tenant or occupant of the
Building.

 

39.10. Tenant shall give prompt notice to Landlord of (a) any occurrence in or
about the Demised Premises for which Landlord might be liable, (b) any fire or
other casualty in the Demised Premises, (c) any damage to or defect in the
Demised Premises, including the fixtures and equipment thereof, for the repair
of which Landlord might be responsible, and (d) any damage to or defect in any
part of the Building’s sanitary, electrical, heating, ventilating,
air-conditioning, elevator or other systems located in or passing through the
Demised Premises or any part thereof.

 

39.11. This Lease shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws
of the

 

49

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

 

State of New Jersey.  Tenant hereby irrevocably agrees that any legal action or
proceeding arising out of or relating to this Lease may be brought in the Courts
of the State of New Jersey, or the Federal District Court for the District of
New Jersey, as Landlord may elect. By execution and delivery of this Lease,
Tenant hereby irrevocably accepts and submits generally and unconditionally for
itself and with respect to its properties, to the jurisdiction of any such court
in any such action or proceeding, and hereby waives in the case of any such
action or proceeding brought in the courts of the State of New Jersey, or
Federal District Court for the District of New Jersey, any defenses based on
jurisdiction, venue or forum non conveniens.  If any provision of this Lease
shall be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Lease shall not be
affected and shall be enforced to the extent permitted by law.  The table of
contents, captions, headings and titles in this Lease are solely for convenience
of reference and shall not affect its interpretation.  This Lease shall be
construed without regard to any presumption or other rule requiring construction
against the party causing this Lease to be drafted.  If any words or phrases in
this Lease shall have been stricken out or otherwise eliminated, whether or not
any other words or phrases have been added, this Lease shall be construed as if
the words or phrases so stricken out or otherwise eliminated were never included
in this Lease and no implication or inference shall be drawn from the fact that
said words or phrases were so stricken out or otherwise eliminated.  Each
covenant, agreement, obligation or other provision of this Lease on Tenant’s
part to be performed, shall be deemed and construed as a separate and
independent covenant of Tenant, not dependent on any other provision of this
Lease.  All terms and words used in this Lease, regardless of the number or
gender in which they are used, shall be deemed to include any other number and
any other gender as the context may require.  Tenant specifically agrees to pay
all of Landlord’s reasonable actual costs, charges and expenses, including
attorneys’ fees, incurred in connection with any document review requested by
Tenant and upon submission of bills therefor.  In the event Landlord permits
Tenant to examine Landlord’s books and records with respect to any Additional
Charge imposed under this Lease, such examination shall be conducted at Tenant’s
sole cost and expense and shall be conditioned upon Tenant retaining an
independent accounting firm for such purposes which shall not be compensated on
any type of contingent fee basis with respect to such examination.  Wherever in
this Lease or by law Landlord is authorized to charge or recover costs and
expenses for legal services or attorneys’ fees, same shall include, without
limitation, the reasonable actual costs and expenses for in-house or staff legal
counsel or outside counsel at rates not to exceed the reasonable and customary
charges for any such services as would be imposed in an arms length third party
agreement for such services.

 

50

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

 

39.12. Upon request of Landlord, Tenant shall furnish to Landlord a copy of its
then current audited financial statement (which may be in the form of Tenant’s
most recent annual report for so long as Tenant remains a public company) which
shall be employed by Landlord for purposes of financing the Premises and not
distributed otherwise without prior authorization of Tenant. Landlord shall be
entitled (upon request) to one (1) free copy of Tenant’s then current audited
financial statement in each and every Calendar Year of the Term; in the event
Landlord requests Tenant’s audited financial statement more than once in any
Calendar Year of the Term, Tenant shall be entitled to an administrative fee of
$150 for the second and each successive request in any Calendar Year.

 

39.13. (a) Certification. Tenant certifies that:  (i) It is not acting, directly
or indirectly, for or on behalf of any person, group, entity, or nation named by
any Executive Order or the United States Treasury Department as a terrorist,
“Specially Designated National and Blocked Person,” or other banned or blocked
person, entity, nation, or transaction pursuant to any law, order, rule, or
regulation that is enforced or administered by the Office of Foreign Assets
Control; and (ii)  It is not engaged in this transaction, directly or indirectly
on behalf of, or instigating or facilitating this transaction, directly or
indirectly on behalf of, any such person, group, entity, or nation.

 

(b) Indemnification.  Tenant hereby agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold
harmless Landlord from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, risks,
liabilities, and expenses (including attorney’s fees and costs) arising from or
related to any breach of the foregoing certification.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Landlord and Tenant have duly executed this Lease as of the
day and year first above written.

limited to ingress and egress from such tenant’s premises for the tenant and its
employees, licensees and invitees, and no tenant shall use, or permit the use
of, the entrances, corridors, escalators or elevators for any other purpose.  No
tenant shall invite to the tenant’s premises, or permit the visit of, persons in
such numbers or under such conditions as to interfere with the use and enjoyment
of any of the plazas, entrances, corridors, escalators, elevators and other
facilities of the Building by any other tenants.  Fire exits and stairways are
for emergency use only, and they shall not be used for any other purpose by the
tenants, their employees, licensees or invitees.  No tenant shall encumber or
obstruct, or permit the encumbrance or obstruction of, any of the sidewalks,
plazas, entrances, corridors, escalators, elevators, fire exits or stairways of
the Building.  Landlord reserves the right to control and operate the public
portions of the Building and the public facilities, as well as facilities
furnished for the common use of the tenants, in such manner as it deems best for
the benefit of the tenants generally.

 

2.                                       Landlord may refuse admission to the
Building outside of Business Hours on Business Days to any person not known to
the watchman in charge, or not having a pass issued by Landlord or the tenant
whose premises are to be entered, or not otherwise properly identified, and
Landlord may require all persons admitted to or leaving the Building outside of
Business Hours on Business Days to provide appropriate identification.  Tenant
shall be responsible for all persons for whom it issues any such pass and shall
be liable to Landlord for all acts or omissions of such persons.  Any person
whose presence in the Building at any time shall, in the judgment of Landlord,
be prejudicial to the safety, character or reputation of the Building or of its
tenants may be denied access to the Building or may be ejected therefrom. 
During any invasion, riot, public excitement or other commotion, Landlord may
prevent all access to the Building by closing the doors or otherwise for the
safety of the tenants and protection of property in the Building.

use in its premises ice, drinking water, food, beverage, towel, barbering,

County.  Such services shall be furnished only at such hours, and under such
reasonable regulations, as may be fixed by Landlord from time to time.

 

4.                                       The cost of repairing any damage to the

written consent of Landlord.  Notwithstanding anything herein contained to the
contrary, Tenant shall be permitted to install, at Tenant’s sole cost and
expense, its prototypical logo and/or lettering adjacent to or on the entrance
doors to the Demised Premises. In the event of the violation of the foregoing by
any tenant, Landlord may remove the same without any liability, and may charge
the expense incurred in such removal to the tenant violating this rule.

the premises of any tenant which would impair or interfere with the use or
enjoyment by any other tenant of any other space in the Building.

or this Lease.  Landlord may require any person leaving the Building with any
package or other object or matter to submit a pass, listing such package or
object or matter, from the tenant from whose premises the package or object or
matter is being removed, but the establishment and enlargement of such
requirement shall not impose any responsibility on Landlord for the protection
of any tenant against the removal of property from the premises of such tenant.

from the admission, exclusion or ejection of any person to or from the premises
or the Building under the provisions of this RULE or of RULE 2 hereof.

manufacturing, or the sale at retail or auction of merchandise, goods or
property of any kind.

 

18.                                 Landlord shall have the right to prohibit
any advertising or identifying sign by any tenant which, in Landlord’s judgment,
tends to impair the reputation of the Building or its desirability as a building
for others, and upon written notice from Landlord, such tenant shall refrain
from and discontinue such advertising or identifying sign.

 

19.                                 Landlord shall have the right to prescribe
the weight and position of safes and other objects of excessive weight, and no
safe or other object whose weight exceeds the lawful load for the area upon
which it would stand shall be brought into or kept upon any tenant’s premises.

at the expense of the tenant and in such a manner as Landlord shall determine.

than ordinary business machines may be installed or operated in any tenant’s
premises without Landlord’s prior written consent, and in no case (even where
the same are of a type so excepted or as so consented to by Landlord) shall any
machines or mechanical equipment be so placed or operated as to disturb other
tenants; but machines and mechanical equipment which may be permitted to be
installed and used in a tenant’s premises shall be so equipped, installed and
maintained by such tenant as to prevent any disturbing noise, vibration or
electrical or other interference from being transmitted from such premises to
any other area of the Building.

tenants or create a public or private nuisance.  No cooking shall be done in the
premises of any tenant except as is expressly permitted in such tenant’s Lease.

 

26.                                 Nothing shall be done or permitted in any
tenant’s premises, and nothing shall be brought into or kept in any tenant’s
premises, which would impair or interfere with any of the Building’s services or
the proper and economic heating, cleaning or other servicing of the Building or
the premises, or the use or enjoyment by any other tenant of any other premises
nor shall there be installed by any tenant any ventilating, air-conditioning,
electrical or other equipment of any kind which, in the judgment of Landlord,
might cause any such impairment or interference.

premises.

 

31.                                 Landlord reserves the right to rescind,
alter or waive any rule or regulation at any time prescribed for the Building
when, in its judgment, it deems it necessary, desirable or proper for its best
interest and for the best interests of the tenants, and no alteration or waiver
of any rule or regulation in favor of one tenant shall operate as an alteration
or waiver in favor of any other tenant. Landlord shall not be responsible to any
tenant for the non-observance or violation by any other tenant of any of the
rules and regulations at any time prescribed for the Building.

 

32.                                 Sustainability:  Tenant has been provided
with a copy of Landlord’s Sustainability Initiative.  Consistent with such
