     This
Second Amendment to Lease (this “Agreement”) made this 21 day of
August, 2006, by and between BTCT ASSOCIATES, L.L.C., a New Jersey limited liability company,
having an address c/o Steiner Equities Group, L.L.C., 75 Eisenhower Parkway, Roseland, New Jersey
07068-1696 (“Landlord”), and SYNCHRONOSS TECHNOLOGIES, INC., a Delaware corporation, having an
address at 750 Route 202, Bridgewater, New Jersey 08807 (“Tenant”).



W I T N E S S E T H:




     WHEREAS, by lease agreement dated May 11, 2004, as amended by document entitled “First
Amendment to Lease” dated October 25, 2004 (collectively, the “Lease”), Landlord leased
to Tenant and Tenant hired from Landlord certain premises (the “Original Premises”)
consisting of 21,150 rentable square feet in the building (the “Building”) known as
750 Route 202, Bridgewater, Somerset County, New Jersey; and



     WHEREAS, Landlord and Tenant wish to further modify and amend the Lease, as hereinafter set
forth;



     NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the above premises, the mutual covenants
hereinafter contained, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of
which are hereby acknowledged, Landlord and Tenant hereby agree as follows:



     1. Premises. (a) On the “Additional Space Commencement Date” (as
hereinafter defined), the definition and description of the Premises in the Lease shall be modified
and amended to include certain additional premises consisting of 5,000 rentable square feet
constituting a portion of the fourth floor of the Building (the “Additional Space”),
which Additional Space is shown shaded on the Fourth Floor Plan Rider attached hereto. As a result
of the foregoing, the definition and description of the Premises in the Lease shall, on the
Additional Space Commencement Date, refer to the Original Premises described in the Lease and the
Additional Space described herein, and shall consist of a total of 26,150 rentable square feet.



     (b) Landlord shall improve the Additional Space in conformity with and to the extent of the
Landlord’s Work Rider attached hereto (the “Landlord’s Work”), and shall
have no other obligation to do any work in and to the Additional Space or the Building to render
them ready for Tenant’s occupancy. Subject to the Landlord’s Work Rider, Tenant has inspected the
Additional Space and agrees to take the Additional Space in its present “as-is” condition.



     2. Term. (a) The Term of the Lease for the Additional Space shall commence on the
date (the “Additional Space Commencement Date”) which shall be the earlier of the date on which
Landlord’s Work has been substantially completed (or would have been substantially completed except
by reason of any delay caused solely by Tenant), or the date on which Tenant occupies any portion
of the Additional Space. Landlord’s Work shall be deemed substantially completed at such time as
the only items of Landlord’s Work to be completed are those of a “punch-list” nature which do not
substantially interfere with Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Additional Space. The Term of the
Lease for the Additional Space shall be coterminous with the Term of the Lease for the Original
Premises (i.e., expiring on March 31, 2012), subject to Tenant’s option to extend the Term as set
forth in the Lease.



     (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if Landlord permits Tenant or
its representatives to enter the Additional Space prior to the Additional Space Commencement Date
for the purpose of installing computer and telephone lines and performing similar minor work in
connection with Tenant’s initial occupancy of the Additional Space, such entry into the Additional
Space shall not constitute occupancy for purposes of triggering the Additional Space Commencement
Date. Tenant’s entry into the Additional Space prior to the Additional Space Commencement Date
shall be subject to the terms and provisions of the Lease and to Landlord’s other reasonable
requirements.



     (c) Promptly following the Additional Space Commencement Date, Landlord and



1









 







Tenant shall execute an instrument setting forth the Additional Space Commencement Date.



     3. Annual Rent. (a) On the Additional Space Commencement Date, the Annual
Rent payable by Tenant for the Additional Space only to Landlord during the Term shall be in the
annual amounts and for the periods and be payable in the monthly installments as follows:



	 	 	 	 	 	 	 
	Period	 	PSF	 	Monthly Installment	 	Annual Amount
	Additional Space
	 	$25.50	 	$10,625.00	 	$127,500.00
	Commencement Date
through March 31, 2012
	 	 	 	 	 	 






     (b) If Tenant validly exercises its Option(s) to extend the Term for the Extension Term(s), as
provided in the Extension Options Rider attached to the Lease, the Annual Rent payable by Tenant
for the Additional Space only to Landlord for the Extension Term(s) shall be in the annual amounts
and for the periods and be payable in the monthly installments as follows:



	 	 	 	 	 	 	 
	Lease Years	 	PSF	 	Monthly Installment	 	Annual Amount
	8 - 12
	 	$28.56	 	$11,900.00	 	$142,800.00
	 
	 	 	 	 	 	 
	13 - 17
	 	$31.99	 	$13,329.17	 	$159,950.00






     (c) Annual Rent shall be payable without notice or demand and without setoff or deduction, in
equal monthly installments, in advance, on the first day of each calendar month during the Term.
Annual Rent for a partial month shall be prorated.



     4. Tenant’s Share. The Lease is hereby amended to provide that
effective as of the Additional Space Commencement Date, Tenant’s Share with respect to the
Additional Space only shall be 4.8% (hereinafter “Tenant’s Additional Space
Share”). All provisions for the payment of Annual Rent and Additional Rent set forth in the
Lease, including, without limitation, all provisions pertaining to the payment of Tax Rent and
Expense Rent (as said terms are defined in the Real Estate Tax Rider and the Operating Expense
Rider attached to the Lease) shall continue to apply without modification to the Original Premises.
Effective on the Additional Space Commencement Date, all provisions for the payment of Additional
Rent set forth in the Lease, including, without limitation, all provisions pertaining to the
payment of Tax Rent and Expense Rent shall also apply to the Additional Space, except that Tenant
shall pay Tenant’s Additional Space Share of such Additional Rent and the Base Tax Year and
the Base Expense Year with respect to the Additional Space only shall be the calendar year 2006.
With respect to the Original Premises, Tenant’s Share and the Base Tax Year and the Base
Expense Year shall remain as stated in the Lease.



     5. Insurance. The Lease is supplemented to provide that Tenant shall, at its cost and
expense, procure all policies of insurance for the purpose of insuring the Additional Space in
accordance with the terms set forth in Section 5 of the Lease. Policies of such insurance, or
certificates thereof, together with reasonable evidence of premium payment therefor, shall be
delivered to Landlord prior to the Additional Space Commencement Date.



     6. Utilities. The Lease is supplemented to provide that from and after the Additional
Space Commencement Date, in addition to Tenant’s obligation to pay all charges for
electricity, light, heat or other utility used by Tenant at the Original Premises, Tenant shall
also pay, as Additional Rent, all charges for electricity, light, heat or other utility used or
supplied to the Additional Space.



     7. Common Areas; Parking. Effective on the Additional Space Commencement Date,
Section 1(g) of the Lease is hereby amended by deleting “82” and by inserting
“102”. The second sentence of Section 8(b) of the Lease is hereby deleted and the
following is substituted therefor:




“Other than ten (10) reserved parking spaces as designated
on the Plot Plan Rider attached hereto and marked at
Tenant’s expense, Tenant’s parking shall not be reserved.”



2









 





     8. Security Deposit. Effective as of the Additional Space Commencement Date,
Section 3 of the First Amendment to Lease shall be null and void and the following shall be
substituted therefor:



     “The last sentence of Section 32 of the Lease is hereby deleted. Provided that Tenant has not
been in default at any time, on the last day of the third (3rd) Lease Year (i.e., March
31, 2008), Landlord shall return the sum of Twenty Thousand One Hundred Sixty Eight and 75/100
($20,168.75) Dollars to Tenant and the amount of the Security Deposit for the remainder of the Term
shall be One Hundred Four Thousand Eighty Seven and 50/100 ($104,087.50) Dollars.”



     9. Brokerage. Each party represents to the other that it did not deal with any real
estate broker in connection with this Agreement other than the brokers named in the Lease (the
“Brokers”). The commission of the Brokers, if any, shall be paid by Landlord in accordance with a
separate agreement between Landlord and the Brokers. Each party indemnifies and holds the other
harmless from any claim for a commission or other fee made by any broker with whom the indemnifying
party has dealt, other than the Brokers.



     10. Recording. Neither this Agreement nor any memorandum of this Agreement shall be
recorded in any public records.



     11. Miscellaneous. (a) Section 41(i) of the Lease is hereby deleted.



     (b) Subject to the rights of existing tenants in the Building to lease additional space in the
Building and/or renew their existing leases at the Building, regardless of whether such rights are
specified in such existing leases, in the event that at any time during the Term of this Lease,
Landlord shall have received an expression of interest from a bona fide third party to lease space
at the Building (such space is hereinafter referred to as the “Available Space”), provided that
Tenant is in possession of the entire Premises and not in default under the Lease beyond any
applicable notice and cure period, and provided further that Tenant’s financial condition and
credit-worthiness is not less than on the date hereof, Landlord agrees that it shall notify Tenant
in writing of the availability of the Available Space and the terms upon which Landlord proposes
the same to be leased. Tenant shall have a period of seven (7) business days from the date of
delivery of such notice within which to notify Landlord of its election to lease the Available
Space on the same terms and conditions contained in Landlord’s notice to Tenant. Such seven (7)
business day period shall run concurrently with any similar notice period to other tenants in the
Building. In the event Tenant does not so timely notify Landlord of its election to lease the
Available Space, Landlord shall be free to lease the Available Space to such party as Landlord may
elect upon such terms as Landlord and any proposed tenant of the Available Space may agree upon.
In the event Tenant elects to exercise the right to lease the Available Space hereunder and no
other tenant having prior rights has elected to exercise its similar right, a lease amendment shall
be prepared to incorporate the business terms in Landlord’s notice to Tenant and such lease
amendment shall be executed by Tenant within ten (10) business days of its receipt of the lease
amendment or Tenant’s right to lease the Available Space shall, at Landlord’s option, be
immediately rendered null and void without any requirement for notice thereof. If Tenant elects to
so lease such Available Space, the Term of the Lease shall be extended for a period to expire the
later of five (5) Lease Years following the rent start date for the Available Space, or the
expiration date with respect to the Available Space. The Annual Rent for the Original Premises and
the Additional Space for such additional term shall be at the rates and on such schedule as is set
forth in this Agreement. If the additional term runs past the last Extension Term, the Annual Rent
for such post Extension Term period shall be at the same rate as is then applicable to the
Available Space. If Tenant shall not exercise its right to lease the Available Space in accordance
with this provision, Landlord shall not be required to offer the Available Space to Tenant again.
This option shall not be applicable during the last Lease Year of the Initial Term, nor the last
Lease Year of the first Extension Term, unless Tenant has previously and properly exercised its
option to extend the Term as set forth in the Extension Options Rider. This option shall not be
applicable during the last two (2) Lease Years of the second Extension Term in any event.



     12. No Default. Tenant represents, warrants and covenants that Landlord is



3









 







not
currently in default under any of its obligations under the Lease and Tenant is not in default
under any of its obligations under the Lease and no event has occurred which, with the passage of
time or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute a default by either Tenant or, to the
knowledge of Tenant, Landlord under the Lease. Landlord represents, warrants and covenants that
Tenant is not currently in default under any of its obligations under the Lease and Landlord is not
in default under any of its obligations under the Lease and no event has occurred which, with the
passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute a default by either Landlord or,
to the knowledge of Landlord, Tenant under the Lease.



     13. Authority of Signatures. Each person signing this Agreement represents that he or
she has full authority to do so.



     14. Defined Terms. The capitalized terms used in this Agreement and not defined
herein shall have the respective meanings indicated in the Lease, unless the context clearly
requires otherwise.



     15. No Other Changes. The intent of this Agreement is only to modify and amend
those provisions of the Lease as herein specified. Except as herein specifically modified, changed
and amended, all of the terms and conditions of the Lease shall remain in full force and effect.



     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have duly executed this Agreement as of the date first
above written.

Specifications are approved. Landlord shall, subject to the Tenant Improvement Allowance (as
hereinafter defined), perform the work shown on the Plans and Specifications prepared by Landlord
and approved by Tenant (“Landlord’s Work”).



     2. Tenant Improvement Allowance. (a) Landlord shall make a cash contribution (the

Landlord’s cost therefor, including field supervision, together with ten (10%) percent of such cost
for Landlord’s overhead plus ten (10%) percent of such sum for Landlord’s profit (“Landlord’s

expenses incurred by Landlord (provided Landlord provides evidence therefor) in connection with any
delay in the commencement or completion of the Landlord’s Work or Tenant Extras, and any increase
