2.5Right of First Offer.  Provided that this Lease is in full force and effect, with at least twenty-four (24) months then remaining in the initial Term (including the Renewal Term, if Tenant shall have timely exercised its renewal option under Section 46 hereof), and provided that Tenant has not theretofore given notice to Landlord exercising the Early Termination Option under Section 3.5 hereof,  Landlord hereby grants to Tenant a continuing right of first offer to lease from Landlord on the terms herein set forth that certain space contiguous to the Premises or any portion thereof, being illustrated and labeled “ROFO” on Exhibit “A” attached hereto, that is available for lease during the Term (the “Offer Space”), subject, however, to (a) the desire of the then existing tenant or occupant of the Offer Space, if any, to extend its lease or enter into a new lease with respect to the Offer Space, and (b) the rights of any other tenants of the Building to lease such space pursuant to terms of their respective leases which are in effect on the date of this Lease as set forth on Exhibit “H”.  Landlord covenants, represents and warrants that any rights of other tenants of the Building to lease the Premises at the time of this Lease were waived by such tenants and Landlord hereby indemnifies and holds harmless Tenant from any and all claims and liability arising from its breach of the foregoing covenant, representation and warranty.  Subject as aforesaid, upon Landlord entering into bona-fide discussions with a prospective third party tenant seeking a proposal from Landlord regarding the lease of the Offer Space, Landlord shall give Tenant written notice of the terms on which Tenant may lease the Offer Space (the “Landlord ROFO Notice”) for a term which is coterminous with the Term and, except as otherwise set forth in the Landlord ROFO Notice, on the terms and conditions contained in this Lease.

In the event that Tenant does not accept Landlord’s offer in writing, and without modification, within ten (10) business days after the date on which Tenant receives Landlord’s ROFO Notice, then this Section 2.5 shall be of no further force or effect as to the Offer Space described in Landlord’s ROFO Notice and Landlord shall be free to lease the Offer Space to any other person or entity upon terms not materially more favorable to Tenant than those described above, unless and until such Offer Space becomes available again or if Landlord does not enter into a lease for the Offer Space with another person or entity within nine (9) months following the Landlord ROFO Notice.  If Tenant timely accepts Landlord’s offer, (i) Landlord and Tenant shall promptly execute and deliver an amendment of this Lease reflecting the terms of Tenant’s lease of the Offer Space as set forth in the Landlord ROFO Notice, for a term which is coterminous with the Term and, except as otherwise set forth in the Landlord ROFO Notice, on the terms and conditions contained in 

9

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) Tenant’s right to lease the Offer Space hereunder shall be contingent upon no Event of Default existing either at the time Tenant receives the Landlord ROFO Notice or at the time Landlord intends to tender possession of the Offer Space to Tenant, and (b) Landlord’s delivery of the Offer Space to Tenant shall be subject to Landlord’s regaining possession thereof from the tenant then occupying same and Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant if Landlord is unable to obtain possession of the Offer Space in a timely fashion for any reason so long as Landlord uses commercially reasonable efforts to obtain possession in a timely fashion.

4.1Tenant leases the Premises in its “as-is” condition and state of repair as of the Lease Commencement Date, it being understood that Landlord covenants that all mechanical, HVAC, electrical, plumbing, roof and structural components of the Building and any other elements of the base Building shall be in good working order, condition and repair as of the Lease Commencement Date and that on the Lease Commencement Date the Premises and the Building shall comply with the requirements of Exhibit “E” (the “Turnover Conditions”).  Subject to the foregoing, all improvements to the Premises for Tenant’s Permitted Use shall be made by Tenant, in accordance with the Work Letter, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, subject to the TI Allowance and the Base Building Allowance.  In the event that in the course of the Tenant Work, it becomes apparent that the Turnover Conditions or any part thereof are not met, then Landlord shall promptly cure same at its sole cost and expense; for each one day of time required to cure same that results in delay in completion of the Tenant Work, the Rent Commencement Date shall be extended by one day.

4.2“Tenant Work” as used in this Lease shall mean the provision of the materials, components, labor and services encompassed within the work described in Exhibit “B”.  Exhibit “B,” the Work Letter, sets forth the obligations and responsibilities of Tenant and Landlord for the design and construction of the Tenant Work (as defined in this Section 4.2 above).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Lease Commencement Date does not occur on the Delivery Date, as same shall be extended on a day for day basis for Force Majeure and Tenant Delay (each as hereinafter defined), Minimum Rent hereunder shall abate for one (1) day for each one (1) day thereafter until the Lease Commencement Date occurs, such rent abatement to commence when Tenant is first obligated to pay Minimum Rent hereunder.  Further, in the event the Lease Commencement Date has not occurred within thirty (30) days after the Delivery Date, as same shall be extended on a day for day basis for Force Majeure (but such extension shall not exceed thirty (30) days) and Tenant Delay, Tenant may at any time thereafter upon ten (10) days written notice to Landlord terminate this Lease and receive back from Landlord all monies paid on account of this Lease.  “Tenant Delay” shall mean any actual delay in the Lease Commencement Date caused by any delay in the completion of the Turnover Conditions that is caused by Tenant and that continues for more than two (2) business days after Tenant’s receipt of notice from Landlord describing such delay with specificity.

(b)any tenant taking possession of space or operating in the Building pursuant to a court order or any governmental authority.

5.2.3In the event of a Tenant Event of Default, and Landlord thereafter enters into a lease which violates the Use Restriction (provided that before entering into such lease Landlord shall provide Tenant with notice of its intent to enter into such lease and Landlord shall be permitted to proceed if such Event of Default has not been cured within ten (10) days following Tenant’s receipt of such notice), the parties hereto agree that such a Lease shall not be in violation of the Use Restriction set forth herein, even in the event Tenant later cures said default.

5.2.4Intentionally deleted.

12



 

5.2.5It is further understood and agreed that, in the event that Tenant assigns this Lease in any transaction that requires Landlord’s consent or approval and such assignee does not use the Premises for any use under the Use Restriction for a period of ninety (90) consecutive days during which such assignee is conducting its business in the Premises, the provisions of this Section 5.2 shall automatically become null and void and of no further force and effect.

5.2.6Intentionally deleted.

5.2.7Landlord and Tenant agree that in the event the foregoing Use Restriction is violated and Landlord fails to cure said violation of the Use Restriction within the period of forty-five (45) days, then Tenant shall have the right to commence paying as Minimum Rent, fifty percent (50%) of Minimum Rent otherwise due (the “Violation Abatement”), effective immediately and continuing until such violation is cured or as provided below.  In the event such violation continues for a period of 365 days commencing on the date of said violation (hereinafter “Termination Cure Period”), then Tenant may elect to either (i) terminate this Lease upon written notice give to Landlord at any time until such violation is cured, provided no Event of Default remains uncured and provided Tenant gives Landlord written notice of Tenant’s election to terminate hereunder or (ii) continue under the terms of this Lease in which event the Violation Abatement shall immediately cease and Tenant shall thereafter pay the Minimum Rent in accordance with the Minimum Rent schedule as provided in Section 1.8 hereof.  If option (i) is selected, such notice shall stipulate the termination date which shall not be less than sixty (60) days after the delivery of such notice.  The remedies set forth in this Section 5.2.7 for violation of the Use Restriction are in lieu of all other remedies Tenant may have pursuant to the terms of the Lease and at law and in equity with the exception of any fraud or illegal acts by Landlord.

(b)Landlord shall not be held responsible or liable for its inability to furnish any service or utility due to any breakdown or failure of the apparatus supplying same and/or while undergoing repairs and/or through any rule or order of any of the properly constituted authorities and/or through any other cause of whatsoever nature.  Landlord’s only obligation shall be to make reasonable efforts to repair equipment owed by and under the control of Landlord.  Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision to the contrary in this Lease, if any such interruption of any service or utility continues for more than two (2) business days for any reason within Landlord’s reasonable control, then Rent hereunder shall abate for the duration of such interruption.

(c)Except as otherwise provided in this Lease, Landlord shall in no way be liable or responsible for any loss, damage, or expense that Tenant may sustain or incur by reason of any change, failure, interference, disruption, or defect in the supply or character of the electric energy furnished to the Premise, or if the quantity or character of the electric energy supplied by the Electric Service Provider or any Alternate Service Provider is no longer available or suitable for Tenant’s requirements, and no such change, failure, defect, unavailability, or unsuitability shall constitute an actual or constructive eviction, in whole or in part, or entitle Tenant to any abatement or diminution of rent, or relieve Tenant from any of its obligations under the Lease.

7.2Partial Year.

7.3.4In determining Annual Operating Costs for any year, if for thirty (30) or more consecutive days during the year less than 100% of the Rentable Area of the Building shall have been occupied by tenants, then those Annual Operating Costs which vary with occupancy levels shall be deemed for such year to be an amount equal to the like expenses which would normally be expected to be incurred had such occupancy of the Building been at least 100% throughout such year, as reasonably and equitably determined by Landlord.

7.3.5If any tenant of the Building supplies itself with a service at any time during such year that Landlord would ordinarily supply without separately charging therefor, then Annual Operating Costs which vary with occupancy levels shall be deemed to include the cost that Landlord would have incurred had Landlord supplied such service to such tenant.

15



 

7.4Payment of Estimated Additional Rent.  Landlord shall be entitled, at its discretion, to make reasonable estimates (and to revise any estimate from time to time) of the amounts of Additional Rent to become due for Annual Operating Costs and/or Real Estate Taxes for any full or partial calendar year under this Article, and to require Tenant to pay thereafter such estimated amounts in equal monthly installments on the first day of each month during each calendar year; provided, however, that whenever an estimate of Additional Rent shall be revised, Landlord shall have the right to increase the monthly installments to be paid thereafter for that category so that such installments, when added to the installments which Tenant was theretofore required to pay for the same category, shall equal the increased estimate.  Within ninety (90) days after the end of each calendar year, Landlord shall cause the actual amount of such Additional Rent to be computed and statements thereof to be sent to Tenant; and Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days after any statement is sent to Tenant, pay to Landlord the amount of any deficiency shown therein.  If such statement shall show that Tenant has made an overpayment, Tenant shall receive a credit to the extent of such overpayment against installments of Additional Rent next falling due hereunder, with any unused credit to be paid to Tenant promptly upon expiration or termination of the Term.  In no event shall Tenant be obligated to pay any Real Estate Taxes or Annual Operating Costs that are not billed to Tenant within one (1) year following the calendar year in which same are incurred; provided, however, that if any Real Estate Taxes or Annual Operating Costs are not billed to Tenant within such one (1) year period because Landlord has not received the billing therefor from a third party for any reason outside of Landlord’s reasonable control, then Landlord shall have one (1) additional year in order to bill Tenant for any such item.  Except for Tenant’s Utility Costs, which shall be paid from and after the Lease Commencement Date, all other Additional Rent payments shall commence as of the Rent Commencement Date (or later pursuant to the terms of this Lease).

7.5Disputes.  Unless Tenant, within 120 days after any statement of Additional Rent is furnished, shall give notice to Landlord that Tenant disputes said statement, specifying in reasonable detail the basis for such dispute, each statement furnished to Tenant by Landlord under any provision of this Article shall be conclusively binding upon Landlord and Tenant as to the particular Additional Rent due from Tenant for the period represented thereby.  Pending resolution of any dispute, Tenant shall pay the Additional Rent in accordance with the statements furnished by Landlord.  Landlord agrees, upon prior written request, to make Landlord’s books and records which are relevant to any disputed amount available at Landlord’s or its agent’s offices during normal business hours for inspection by Tenant’s employee(s) or a regionally recognized accounting firm or other auditing firm not paid, in whole or in part, on a contingent fee basis, representing Tenant, provided that such disputed amount shall have been paid by Tenant to Landlord.  If the issues raised by such notice are not amicably settled between Landlord and Tenant within thirty (30) days after such written notice is received by Landlord of such dispute, Tenant or Landlord may refer the decision to a regionally recognized accounting firm or other auditing firm acceptable to the other party (the “Accounting Firm”).  If an error is confirmed by the Accounting Firm with respect to the calculation of Additional Rent, such decision shall be deemed conclusive and Landlord shall revise the applicable statement accordingly and any overpayment by Tenant shall be refunded by Landlord and any underpayment shall be paid by Tenant within thirty (30) days of the decision date.  The costs of such audit shall be borne by Tenant unless such audit finds that Tenant was overcharged by more than three percent (3%) in which event, the cost of such audit shall be borne by Landlord.  

8.Late Payments.  If any payment or any part thereof to be made by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to the terms of this Lease shall become overdue for a period in excess of 5 calendar days, a one-time “Late Charge” of $.05 for each dollar so overdue may be charged by Landlord and shall be paid by Tenant for the purpose of defraying the expense incident to handling such delinquent payment, together with interest from the date when such payment or any part thereof was due, at the Lease Interest Rate.  Nothing herein shall be construed as waiving any rights of Landlord arising out of any default of Tenant, by reason of Landlord’s imposing or accepting any such Late Charge or interest.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the first two (2) instances of an overdue payment in any calendar year, Landlord shall not charge the Late Charge unless and until for each instance, the overdue amount remains outstanding for 5 calendar days after Tenant’s receipt of notice of same from Landlord.

16



 

9.Services.

9.1Tenant acknowledges that Landlord does not guaranty or warrant against the occurrence of unauthorized entry to the Premises, criminal activity or other breaches of security; and accordingly, subject to Landlord’s good faith performance of the obligations contained herein, Landlord shall not be responsible for any such events or losses, damages or liability resulting therefrom except to the extent caused by Landlord’s gross negligence or intentional misconduct or that of its employees, agents or contractors. 

9.2Landlord agrees that it shall provide or cause to be provided the following:

9.5If any service to the Building is interrupted or stopped or if there is a defect in supply, character of, adequacy or quality of any of such services (collectively, a “Failure”), Landlord will use reasonable diligence to resume the service and correct the Failure; provided, however, no Failure of any of these services will create any liability for Landlord (including, without limitation, any liability for damages to Tenant’s personal property caused by any such Failure) except to the extent caused by Landlord’s gross negligence or intentional misconduct or that of its employees, agents or contractors, constitute an actual or constructive eviction or, except as expressly provided herein, cause any abatement of the Rent payable under this Lease or in any manner or for any purpose relieve Tenant from any of its obligations under this Lease.  Without limiting those reasons for a Failure that may be beyond Landlord’s reasonable control, any such Failure that is required in order to comply with any laws, ordinances or requests from governmental authorities will be deemed caused by a reason beyond Landlord’s control.

9.6Landlord shall have the right to select the utility company (“Electric Service Provider”) to provide electricity service for the Building.  If permitted by law, Landlord shall have the right at any time and from time to time during the Term to contract for service from a different company or companies providing electricity service (each such company shall hereinafter be referred to as an “Alternate Service Provider”) so long as such Alternate Service Provider provides competitive service at reasonable market rates.

Tenant shall cooperate with Landlord, the Electric Service Provider and any Alternate Service Provider at all times and, as reasonably necessary, shall allow Landlord, Electric Service Provider, and any Alternate Service Provider reasonable access to the Building electric lines, feeders, risers, wiring, and any other machinery within the Premises.

Tenant shall cooperate with Landlord, the Electric Service Provider and any Alternate Service Provider at all times and, as reasonably necessary, shall allow Landlord, Electric Service Provider, and any Alternate Service Provider reasonable access to the Building electric lines, feeders, risers, wiring, and any other machinery within the Premises.

9.7Landlord reserves the right, without any liability to Tenant, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Lease, and without being in breach of any covenant of this Lease, to effect a Failure, as required by this Lease or by law, or as necessary in Landlord’s reasonable opinion, after reasonable notice to Tenant in view of specific circumstances, with reasonable efforts of Landlord to minimize interference, whenever and for so long as may be necessary (but with the consequences specified in Section 7.1.4(b), above), to make repairs, alterations, upgrades, changes, or for any other reason, to the Building and the Building’s HVAC, utility, sanitary, elevator, water, telecommunications, security, or other Building systems serving the Premises, or any other services required of Landlord under this Lease.

9.8Tenant will be responsible, and Landlord shall have no responsibility, for procuring services for the collection within and from the Premises, and then the prompt and legal removal from the Premises and the Building of all Hazardous Substances (as defined in Section 11.2) used and/or generated by Tenant.  Landlord will not be responsible for the gathering and/or removal of medical waste within or from the Premises.  Tenant will procure their own service provider for these services and remit payment to that provider directly.  In addition, Tenant will require said service provider to issue a Certificate of Insurance to Landlord evidencing the following: a) Workers’ Compensation and Employers’ Liability, b) Commercial General Liability covering all of the service provider’s operations, and c) Commercial Auto Liability.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, Landlord shall provide a dumpster and regular trash removal therefrom for regular office waste, at Landlord’s sole cost and expense but subject to reimbursement through Annual Operating Costs to the extent permitted under this Lease.

9.9Should Tenant require any additional work or service, Landlord may, on terms to be agreed, upon reasonable advance notice by Tenant, furnish such additional service and Tenant agrees to pay Landlord such charges as may be agreed upon, including any tax imposed thereon, but in no event at a charge less than Landlord’s actual cost plus overhead for such additional service.  Landlord may impose a reasonable administrative overhead charge whenever Landlord provides or arranges for additional or above-standard services at Tenant’s request and not as required by this Lease.

10.Repairs and Condition of Premises.

10.1From and after the Lease Commencement Date, Landlord, at its sole cost and expense, will maintain in good condition and working order and make all necessary repairs and replacements to the Structural Portions of the Building.  For purposes hereof, the “Structural Portions of the Building” means the Building’s exterior walls, footings, foundations, structural portions of load-bearing walls, structural floors and subfloors, structural columns and beams and the structural and non-structural portions of the roof, as well as all Building systems and the Common Areas and all alterations and improvements paid for by the Base Building Allowance.  The foregoing maintenance, repair and replacement obligations of Landlord shall be performed in a manner which is consistent with the Standards.  Tenant shall promptly report in writing to Landlord any defective condition in the Structural Portions of the Building actually known to Tenant which Landlord is required to repair.

10.3Tenant covenants that at the expiration or other termination of this Lease, Tenant shall leave the Premises, and during the Term will keep all of the interior of the Premises (other than the Structural Portions of the Building), and all of its fixtures, equipment, furniture and furnishings therein, in good order and condition, ordinary wear and tear, damage by fire or other casualty and obligations of Landlord alone excepted; and for that purpose and except as stated, Tenant will make all necessary repairs and replacements.

The foregoing maintenance, repair and replacement obligations of Tenant shall be performed in a manner which is consistent with the Standards.  At all times during the Term, Tenant shall provide janitorial service for the Premises and remove all dirt, rubbish, waste and refuse from the Premises in accordance with all applicable Requirements (as defined in Section 11.1 below).  At the termination of the Term, Tenant will also have had removed all of Tenant’s personal property therefrom, to the end that Landlord may again have and repossess the entire Premises in the condition required to be maintained by Tenant hereunder, ordinary wear and tear, casualty, condemnation and obligations of Landlord excepted.  In the event that any repair is required by reason of such removal or any negligence or abuse of Tenant or its agents, employees, invitees or of any other person using the Premises with Tenant’s express or implied consent (beyond ordinary wear and tear) and not repaired upon the termination of the Term, but subject to Article 20, Landlord may make such repair thereafter and Tenant shall, upon demand, pay to Landlord the cost thereof together with interest thereon at the Lease Interest Rate.

10.4Tenant will neither do, nor permit anyone else to do, anything on the Premises, other than the Permitted Use, which might or would: (i) increase any insurance rates charged Landlord with respect to the Premises or the Building; (ii) violate the Master Deed or Master Declaration; or (iii) conflict with or invalidate any insurance policy maintained by Landlord for the Premises and of which Tenant is made aware, in writing. If the insurance premiums of Landlord are increased due to Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises except not due to the Permitted Use, then the amount of such increase will be paid by Tenant to Landlord as Additional Rent as it becomes due and after Landlord provides reasonable backup documentation evidencing that such increase is due to Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises but not due to the Permitted Use, and Landlord will have the same right to collect such amount as Landlord has under this Lease to collect Additional Rent. Promptly after Landlord becomes aware of any such potential increase, Landlord shall notify Tenant of the condition or action giving rise to such increase so that Tenant shall have an opportunity to correct or change such situation so as not to incur such increased premium costs.

Landlord shall otherwise be responsible for causing the Building to comply with all Requirements, including the ADA, at Landlord’s sole cost and expense.  Tenant also agrees that it shall not knowingly do or commit, or suffer to be done or committed anywhere in the Building by its employees or agents, any act or thing contrary to any of the Requirements (with respect to the Board of Fire Underwriters or any insurance organizations, associations or companies, only to the extent Landlord has provided written notice of same to Tenant).  Tenant shall give Landlord prompt written notice of any accident in the Premises and of any breakage, defect or failure in any of the systems or equipment servicing the Premises, in each case upon becoming aware of same.

Landlord covenants, represents and warrants, that, (i) prior use(s) of the Premises, during Landlord’s period of ownership of the Property, have not involved any Hazardous Substances, and (ii) the Premises is not, nor has it been at any time during Landlord’s period of ownership of the Property, an “industrial establishment” (as such term is defined in ISRA).  Landlord covenants, represents and warrants, that to the best of its knowledge, (i) prior use(s) of the Premises, prior to Landlord’s period of ownership of the Property, have not involved any Hazardous Substances, and (ii) prior to Landlord’s period of ownership of the Property, the Premises was not an “industrial establishment” (as such term is defined in ISRA).

(c)In amplification of Section 11.2(b) above and any other applicable provision of this Lease and not by way of limitation, in the event Tenant becomes an "industrial establishment" (as such term is defined in ISRA), Tenant shall, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, comply with ISRA.  Should the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, or any agency or subdivision thereof or any agency or subdivision responsible for enforcing ISRA (collectively, the "DEP") determine that a cleanup plan be prepared, then Tenant (or, at Landlord's option, Landlord on behalf of Tenant, but only if Tenant fails or refuses to diligently address such DEP requirements) shall, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, prepare and submit the required plans and financial assurances, and fully implement the approved cleanup plan prior to the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease; however, Tenant shall not be responsible for any releases, spills or discharges (hereinafter sometimes collectively referred to as "discharges") of Hazardous Substances which occur prior to the commencement of the term of this Lease or at any time through no action of Tenant.  

(d)If the closing, terminating or transferring of Tenant's operations at the Premises does not trigger ISRA, or if the closing, terminating or transferring of Tenant's operations at the Premises does trigger ISRA but no cleanup or other remediation of any Hazardous Substances is required by the DEP pursuant to ISRA, then at Landlord’s request, Tenant shall obtain, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, within thirty (30) days prior to such closing (or such other time period as reasonably agreed upon by the parties), a Response Action Outcome (RAO) from a licensed site remediation professional (LSRP) certifying that no further action is required.

(e)In the event ISRA compliance becomes necessary at the Premises due to any action or inaction on the part of Tenant, then, at Landlord's election (i) in the event Tenant has failed or refused to address such ISRA compliance requirements, Landlord shall comply with the requirements of ISRA inasmuch as such compliance relates to any Hazardous Substances released, discharged, stored or disposed of at the Premises during the term of this Lease, and Tenant shall be responsible for paying the costs of such compliance within thirty (30) days after Landlord's demand therefor accompanied by reasonable backup documentation (or such other time period as reasonably agreed upon by the parties), or (ii) Tenant shall be responsible for promptly, and within the time frame required by law, complying with ISRA inasmuch as such compliance relates to any Hazardous Substances released, discharged or disposed of at the Premises during the term of this Lease, and Tenant shall be 

20



 

responsible for paying the costs of such ISRA compliance.  Tenant shall also promptly after Landlord's request (but in no event later than thirty (30) days after Landlord's request accompanied by reasonable backup documentation) provide all non-privileged information requested by Landlord, subject to review and approval by Tenant and its counsel, sign a commercially reasonable affidavit prepared by Landlord concerning ISRA and Tenant's use and occupancy of the Premises and pay all costs of such ISRA compliance that are attributable to Tenant's use and occupancy of the Premises.  Landlord and the DEP, and any employee, representative, agent or contractor of Landlord or the DEP, may, at reasonable times and upon terms reasonably agreed upon by the parties hereto, enter the Premises for the purpose of complying with ISRA; provided that any such entrance onto the Premises shall not unreasonably interfere with Tenant’s operation of its business nor conflict with any other provision of this Lease.

(f)In the event Tenant, in violation of this Lease, becomes an industrial establishment and fails to comply with paragraphs "(c)" or "(e)" above, as applicable, prior to the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant, at Landlord's option, shall be deemed to be a "holdover tenant" and the provisions of Section 24 of this Lease shall be applicable to Tenant's occupancy of the Premises from the expiration or earlier termination of the Term of this Lease, to the extent Tenant’s obligations hereunder require it to occupy the Premises.  In addition, Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord and Managing Agent harmless from and against any loss, cost, liability or expense resulting from such violation and failure to comply with ISRA including, without limitation, any reasonable attorneys' fees and any claims made by any succeeding tenant.

(g)In the event that there shall be filed a lien against the Premises because of any Hazardous Substances released from, discharged from, stored in or disposed in the Premises during the term of this Lease, Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days from the date Tenant is given notice of the lien (or in such shorter period of time in the event that the holder of such lien, including without limitation, the United States, State of New Jersey, or any agency or subdivision thereof, has commenced steps to cause the Premises and Building to be sold pursuant to the lien) shall pay the claim and remove the lien from the Premises.  If Tenant fails to do so by said period, Landlord shall be entitled to resort to such remedies as are provided in this Lease as in the case of any default of this Lease, in addition to any remedies as are permitted by law, in equity or otherwise.

(h)Tenant shall indemnify, defend and save harmless Landlord from and against all fines, suits, procedures, claims, actions, damages, liabilities, judgments, reasonable costs and expenses (including without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees) of any kind arising out of or in any way connected with the presence of Hazardous Substances at the Premises introduced by Tenant during the term of this Lease (including Hazardous Substances originating on the Premises, but not including any Hazardous Substances migrating to the Premises from another property or existing prior to the term of this Lease); and from all fines, suits, procedures, claims, actions, damages, liabilities, judgments, reasonable costs and expenses (including without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees) of any kind arising out of Tenant's failure to provide all information, make all submissions and take all actions required by any Environmental Law or Laws.

(i)Tenant's obligations and liabilities under this Section 11.2 shall continue after expiration or earlier termination of the term of this Lease for so long as Landlord remains responsible for any spills or discharges of Hazardous Substances released, discharged, stored or disposed of at the Premises by Tenant or Tenant's Agents.

(j)In addition to the foregoing environmental obligations on Tenant's part to be performed, Tenant shall also promptly furnish to Landlord (i) true and complete copies of all documents, submissions, and correspondence provided to any environmental agency including, but not limited to, the DEP and the United States Environmental Protection Agency, and (ii) true and complete copies of all sampling and test results obtained from samples and tests taken at, around, in or upon the Premises.

21



 

(k)Landlord shall indemnify, defend and save harmless Tenant from and against all fines, suits, procedures, claims, actions, damages, liabilities, judgments, reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) of any kind arising out of any spills or discharges of Hazardous Substances at the Premises or Building which are in no way attributable, directly or indirectly, to Tenant or Tenant’s Agents.  Landlord represents and warrants, to the best of its actual knowledge, that there are no Hazardous Substances in, on, around the Building or Units A and C in violation of applicable Laws.

12.Estoppel Certificate.

12.1Tenant shall from time to time, within 15 business days after Landlord’s request or that of any mortgagee of Landlord, execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord and such mortgagee a written instrument (an “Estoppel”) certifying (i) that this Lease is in full force and effect and has not been modified, supplemented or amended (or, if there have been modifications, supplements or amendments, that it is in full force and effect as modified, supplemented or amended, and stating such modifications, supplements and amendments); (ii) the dates to which Minimum Rent and Additional Rent and any other charges arising hereunder have been paid; (iii) the amount of any prepaid rents or credits due Tenant, if any; (iv) if applicable, that Tenant has accepted possession and has entered into occupancy of the Premises, and certifying the Lease Commencement Date, Rent Commencement Date and the Expiration Date; (v) whether or not, to the knowledge of the Tenant, all conditions under the Lease to be performed by Landlord prior thereto have been satisfied and whether or not Landlord is then in default in the performance of any covenant, agreement or condition contained in this Lease and specifying each, if any, unsatisfied condition and each, if any, default of which the Tenant may have knowledge; and (vi) any other fact or condition reasonably requested.  Any Estoppel delivered pursuant to the provisions of this Section shall be intended to be relied upon by Landlord or any of its partners and any mortgagee or prospective mortgagee or purchaser of the Property or of any interest therein.

12.2Tenant is aware that such Estoppels are often required by landlords in order to effectuate a sale or financing and Tenant’s failure to deliver an Estoppel in a timely manner could result in substantial loss by Landlord including, without limitation, reduction in loan amounts or sales price and loss of a sale or committed loan.

13.Rules and Regulations.  Tenant agrees to observe the rules and regulations (the “Rules”) for the Building attached hereto as Exhibit “C” and made a part hereof and such Rules and any modifications thereto made from time to time by Landlord, which, in Landlord’s reasonable business judgment are consistent with the Standards, may be desirable for the use, operation and management of the Premises or the Building and also that do not materially increase Tenant’s obligations or decrease its rights hereunder, each of which Rules and any additions and modifications thereto upon notice thereof to Tenant shall be deemed a part of this Lease with the same effect as though written herein.  Tenant covenants that all such Rules shall be faithfully observed and complied with by Tenant, and Tenant shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause Tenant’s agents, employees and invitees and all those visiting the Premises or claiming under Tenant to comply with the same.  Landlord agrees that the Rules will be applied to all tenants and occupants and enforced in a manner which does not discriminate against Tenant.  In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the Rules and this Lease, this Lease shall control.

14.Assignment and Subletting.

14.1Tenant shall not mortgage, pledge or encumber this Lease, collaterally or otherwise (collectively, a “Transfer”).  Tenant may assign this Lease or Tenant’s interest in and to the Premises, or sublease all or any portion of the Premises upon prior written notice to Landlord, subject to Landlord’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.  Such assignment and/or sublease shall be subject to the terms, covenants and conditions contained herein, and shall not relieve Tenant of its obligations herein.   

22



 

14.2At least 30 days prior to the effective date of any proposed subletting or assignment, Tenant shall submit to Landlord a statement seeking Landlord’s consent and containing the name and address of the proposed subtenant or assignee, the terms of the proposed sublease or assignment and such financial and other information with respect to the proposed subtenant or assignee as Landlord may reasonably request.  Landlord shall indicate its consent or non‐consent within 10 business days of its receipt of Tenant’s submission; failing which consent shall be deemed given.  Landlord’s consent to such proposed assignment and/or sublease shall not be unreasonably withheld, provided that (hereinafter referred to as the “Conditions”):

(a)the Premises shall continue to be used for the Permitted Use as provided above and shall not violate any exclusive agreement contained in any lease between Landlord and any other tenant in the Building and Tenant has not caused an Event of Default, which is then continuing, during the Term;

(b)the operations of the proposed transferee will not, in Landlord’s reasonable business judgement, materially adversely affect Landlord’s ability to lease any vacant space in the Building to other tenants due to such proposed transferee’s use (to the extent different from the Permitted Use); 

(c)the operations of the proposed transferee will not, in Landlord’s reasonable business judgment, materially adversely affect the amount of power required to be drawn to the Building to support such proposed transferee’s use (in comparison to the amount of power required for Tenant’s use);

(d)in the reasonable determination of Landlord, the proposed transferee and its reputation, as well as the transferee's business, is of a character that is in keeping with the Standards; 

(e)the proposed transferee shall not have negotiated for the leasing of any space in the Building within the immediately preceding six (6) months where appropriate space remains available for lease by Landlord; and 

(f)intentionally deleted.

14.3Should Landlord agree to an assignment or sublease, Tenant will pay to Landlord on demand a sum equal to all of Landlord’s costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred in connection with such assignment or sublease, not to exceed $1,500 per request.

14.4Any Transfer which does not comply with the provisions of this Article 14 shall be void, and shall, without notice or grace period of any kind, constitute a default by Tenant under this Lease.

14.5In the event that Landlord consents to the Transfer, Tenant shall have 180 days from its receipt of Landlord’s consent to enter into the proposed Transfer in strict accordance with the terms and with the identified subtenant or assignee described in Tenant’s statement to Landlord.  

14.6No Transfer with or without Landlord’s consent shall in any way relieve or release Tenant from liability for the performance of all terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease.  Furthermore, no assignment will be valid unless the assignee shall execute and deliver to Landlord an assumption of liability agreement in form reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, including an assumption by the assignee of all of the obligations of Tenant and the assignee’s ratification of an agreement to be bound by all the provisions of this Lease; and no subletting will be valid unless the subtenant first enters into a written agreement with Tenant, in such form and with such terms, covenants and conditions as may be reasonably required by Landlord.

23



 

14.7In the event of any Transfer by Tenant of its interest in the Premises or the Lease or any portion thereof, whether or not consented to by Landlord, each monthly installment of Minimum Rent payable hereunder with respect to the Premises or the portion thereof subject to such subletting or assignment shall each be increased by an amount equal to the following for such month:

14.7.1In the case of any subletting, fifty percent (50%) of the Excess Rent (defined in Article 43) for such portion; and

14.7.2In the case of any assignment, fifty percent (50%) of the Excess Rent payable by the assignee.

14.8Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, only prior notice to Landlord, and not the prior approval of Landlord, shall be required for the subletting or assignment of all or a portion of the Premises to any corporation or other entity which is a parent or wholly owned subsidiary of, or under common control with, Tenant and will conduct the Permitted Use within the Premises, or to any corporation or other entity with which or into which Tenant has merged or consolidated or which acquires all or substantially all of Tenant’s assets or stock (or other ownership interests) of Tenant.  Sections 14.3 and 14.7 shall not apply to any transfer described in this Section 14.8.

15.Alterations.

15.1For each and every alteration, installation, addition or improvement (each, an “Alteration”) Tenant wishes to make, Tenant shall first (i) submit to Landlord a detailed description thereof, and (ii) obtain Landlord’s written approval thereof, except that Landlord’s approval shall not be required for nonstructural interior decorations not affecting the structural, mechanical, electrical or plumbing systems, or any components thereof, of the Building.

15.2Provided that the proposed Alteration does not in Landlord’s reasonable judgment involve any modification to the Building’s exterior or its structural, mechanical, electrical or plumbing systems or components, such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, but may be conditioned upon compliance with reasonable requirements of Landlord, including, without limitation, the filing of mechanics’ lien waivers by Tenant’s contractors and the submission of written evidence of commercially reasonable insurance coverage naming Landlord as an additional insured thereunder.  Landlord may withhold its approval in its absolute and sole discretion with respect to each such Alteration which Landlord determines involves any modification to the Building’s exterior or its structural, electrical, mechanical or plumbing systems or any components thereof.

15.3Tenant shall see that all Alterations in the Premises shall comply with all applicable present and future Requirements (as defined in Article 11).  Landlord’s review and/or approval of plans, drawings, and specifications shall create no responsibility or liability on the part of Landlord for their completeness, design sufficiency or compliance with all Requirements.

15.4Tenant shall not permit any financing statement or statements to be filed with respect to any of the foregoing Alterations.  All Alterations made by Tenant and all fixtures attached to the Premises by Tenant (including any generator but other than Tenant’s removable trade and business fixtures and equipment) shall remain at the Premises at the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease and become the property of Landlord, unless Tenant elects to remove same and repair any damage caused by such removal.  Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, in no event shall Tenant be obligated to remove the Tenant Work or any portion thereof or any Alteration.

24



 

15.5All Alterations shall be performed at Tenant’s cost by or one or more contractors approved by Landlord (in its reasonable discretion).  Tenant shall be responsible for obtaining all governmental approvals, permits and/or licenses with respect to any Alteration.  All Alterations shall be made in accordance with the following requirements of the Work Letter (except any references to Tenant Work shall be deemed to be to the applicable Alteration and references to a certificate of occupancy shall be included only to the extent required by law):  II.6 (a), (d) and (e); II.7; II.8; II.10; II.12.

15.6This Section 15 shall not apply to the Tenant Work, which shall be governed by the Work Letter.

16.Mechanics’ and Other Liens.

16.1Tenant covenants that it shall not (and has no authority to) create or allow any encumbrance against the Premises, the Building or any part of any thereof or Landlord’s interest therein except as set forth in this Lease.

16.2Tenant covenants that it shall not suffer or permit to be created, or to remain, any lien or claim thereof (arising out of any work done or services, material, equipment or supplies furnished for or at the request of Tenant or by or for any contractor or subcontractor of Tenant) which is or may become a lien upon the Premises or the Building or any part of any thereof or the income therefrom or any fixture, equipment or similar property therein.

16.3If any lien or claim shall be filed, Tenant shall within 20 days after its receipt of notice of the filing thereof, cause the same to be discharged of record by payment, deposit, bond or otherwise.  If Tenant shall fail to cause such lien or claim to be discharged and removed from record within that period (such failure constituting an Event of Default without notice or opportunity to cure other than such period), then, without obligation to investigate the validity thereof and in addition to any other right or remedy Landlord may have, Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, contest the lien or claim or discharge it by payment, deposit, bond or otherwise; and Landlord shall be entitled, if Landlord so decides, to compel the prosecution of an action for the foreclosure of such lien and to pay the amount of the judgment in favor of the lien or with interest and costs.  Any amounts so paid by Landlord and all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by Landlord in connection therewith, together with interest at the Lease Interest Rate from the respective dates of Landlord’s making of the payment or incurring of the cost or expense, shall constitute Additional Rent payable by Tenant under this Lease and shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord promptly on demand.

16.4Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease or in any other writing signed by Landlord, neither this Lease nor any other writing signed by Landlord shall be construed as evidencing, indicating, or causing an appearance that any erection, construction, alteration or repair to be done, or caused to be done, by Tenant is or was in fact for the immediate use and benefit of Landlord.

25



 

17.Certain Rights Reserved by Landlord.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease (and in the event of any conflict or inconsistency between such rights and this Lease, this Lease shall control), Landlord explicitly retains all rights, including, without limitation, the following rights, each of which Landlord may exercise without notice to Tenant and without liability to Tenant for damage or injury to property, person or business on account of the exercise thereof except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Lease, and the exercise of any such rights shall not be deemed to constitute an eviction or disturbance of Tenant’s use or possession of the Premises and shall not give rise to any claim for set‐off or abatement of Rent or any other claim:

17.1To enter the Premises at any time in case of an emergency; to enter the Premises at any reasonable time upon at least twenty- fours ' prior written notice to Tenant if Landlord shall so elect for making alterations, improvements or repairs to the Building required by this Lease, for permitting inspection of the Premises by persons authorized by Landlord or for any purpose in connection with the operation or maintenance or financing of the Building, provided that no entry into the manufacturing areas of the Premises shall be permitted at any time during the manufacturing process and no entry into the clean rooms in the Premises shall be permitted at any time.

17.2To change the name or street address of the Building upon notice to Tenant; to give the Building and/or any portion thereof any name or names that Landlord may choose and to change such name(s) from time to time at Landlord’s sole discretion; provided that Landlord shall not name the Building after any company or business.

17.5To furnish a reasonable number of door keys or entry cards for the entry door(s) in the Building, to be furnished as and when requested by Tenant at no charge to Tenant, to the extent there is no direct entry into the Premises from outside the Building.  Tenant agrees to change no locks, and not to affix locks on doors without the prior written consent of the Landlord.  Upon the expiration of the Term or Tenant’s right to possession, Tenant shall return all keys to Landlord and shall disclose to Landlord the combination of any safes, cabinets or vaults left in the Premises.  Tenant’s obligations under this Section 17.5 shall be subject to all governmental requirements and regulations and laws applicable to Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Premises.

17.6To reasonably designate and approve all window coverings used in the Building.

17.7To reasonably approve the weight, size and location of safes, vaults and other heavy equipment and articles in and about the Premises and the Building so as not to exceed the load per square foot designated by the structural engineers for the Building (as same may be increased if Tenant structurally reinforces certain parts of the Premises or employs similar measures, each in a good and workmanlike manner), and to require all such items and furniture and similar items to be moved into or out of the Building and Premises only at such times and in such manner as Landlord shall reasonably direct in writing.  Tenant shall not install or operate machinery or any mechanical devices of a nature not directly related to Tenant’s ordinary use, as limited by the Permitted Use, of the Premises without the 

26



 

prior written consent of Landlord.  Movements of Tenant’s property into or out of the Building or Premises and within the Building are entirely at the risk and responsibility of Tenant, and Landlord reserves the right to require written authorization from Tenant, in form and content satisfactory to Landlord, before allowing any property to be moved into or out of the Building or Premises.  The cost of repairing any damage to the Building caused by Tenant taking in or out of the Building furniture, safes or any articles and any damage caused while the same are in the Premises shall be paid by Tenant.

17.10To alter the layout, design and/or use of the Building or any portion thereof in such manner as Landlord, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate, so long as the character of the Building is maintained in accordance with the Standards and that Tenant’s rights under this Lease and Tenant’s use and occupancy are not affected.

17.11Intentionally Deleted.

18.Landlord’s Liability; Rights of Successors.

18.1It is expressly understood and agreed by Tenant that none of Landlord’s covenants, undertakings or agreements are made or intended as personal covenants, undertakings or agreements by Landlord’s partners, members, shareholders, beneficial interest holders or trustees (collectively, “Constituents”), or any of their respective Constituents, and any liability for damage or breach or nonperformance by Landlord shall be collectible only out of Landlord’s interest in the Building and the proceeds thereof and no personal liability is assumed by, nor at any time may be asserted against, Constituents or their Constituents, officers, directors, agents, employees, legal representatives, successors or assigns, if any, all such liability, if any, being expressly waived and released by Tenant.

18.2The Landlord named on page 1 of this Lease and any subsequent owners of such Landlord’s interest in the Building, as well as their respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns shall each have the same rights, remedies, powers, authorities and privileges as it would have had it originally signed this Lease as Landlord, but any such Person, whether or not named herein, shall have no liability accruing hereunder after such transferee assumes the obligations of Landlord hereunder and it ceases to hold such interest.

18.3Intentionally deleted.

18.4Landlord shall have the right to assign this Lease upon prior notice to Tenant, but without the necessity of obtaining Tenant’s approval.  Such assignment shall be subject to the terms, covenants and conditions contained herein and shall relieve Landlord of all covenants and obligations arising hereunder thereafter provided Landlord deliver to Tenant an assignment and assumption agreement whereby assignee agrees to assume and be bound by all of the conditions, obligations and agreements of Landlord contained herein.

19.Insurance.

19.1Avoidance of Acts Which Increase Insurance Risk.  Tenant covenants that it will not do or commit, or suffer or permit to be done or committed, any act or thing as a result of which any policy of insurance of any kind on or in connection with the Building or the Building or any part thereof shall become void or suspended, or the insurance risk on the Building or the Building or any part thereof 

27



 

shall (in the opinion of any insurer or proposed insurer) be rendered more hazardous than is typical for a first-class office and limited manufacturing building in the location where the Building is located, in any event other than the Permitted Use.  In addition to other remedies available to Landlord, Tenant shall pay, within 30 days after being billed therefor accompanied by reasonable backup documentation, the amount of any increase of premiums for such insurance resulting from any breach of this covenant.

19.2Tenant’s Insurance Coverage.  Tenant covenants that it shall maintain throughout the Term and during any entry upon the Premises before or after the Term, at Tenant’s expense, the following insurance:

(a)Worker’s Compensation.


		
	
Coverage
	
Minimum Amounts and Limits

	
Worker’s Compensation
	
Statutory Limits

	
 
	
(if state has no statutory limit, $1,000,000)

	
Employer’s Liability
	
$1,000,000 each accident for bodily injury by accident; $1,000,000 each employee for bodily injury by disease 

 




Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall not be required to maintain Worker’s Compensation coverage until its employees are working in the Premises.  No “alternative forms” of coverage will be permitted for workers’ compensation insurance.  

(b)Commercial General Liability.  Combination of Commercial General Liability insurance and Excess (Umbrella) Liability insurance (to be following form over underlying insurance) on an occurrence basis with a combined single limit for bodily injury/property damage of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 in the aggregate.  Contractual liability coverages shall be included in the Commercial General Liability policy to insure liability under any contract whereby Tenant will hold harmless the Landlord’s Indemnified Parties (as defined in Article II.7 of the Work Letter) except for liability arising out of the negligence or willful misconduct of the Person seeking indemnity.  Such policy shall have no deletion of the Separation of Insured’s clause or any exclusion for Cross Liability.  Such policy shall contain (i) an endorsement including the Landlord’s Indemnified Parties as “additional insureds” except for the sole negligence of the additional insured; (ii) a waiver of subrogation endorsement in favor of Landlord’s Indemnified Parties, (iii) a deletion of contractual liability exclusions for Personal Injury and Advertising Injury liability, and (iv) no modification which would make Tenant’s policy excess over or contributory with Landlord’s liability insurance.

(c)Special Form or All Risk Property Insurance.  At all periods during the Term, Tenant shall be required to provide “All-Risk” or equivalent property insurance covering the Tenant’s furniture, fixtures, equipment, leasehold improvements (other than any improvements paid for with the Base Building Allowance), and personal property for the full replacement value of the property.  If the coverage is available and commercially appropriate, such property insurance shall insure against all risks of direct physical loss or damage including the perils of fire (with extended coverage), theft, vandalism, malicious mischief, collapse, earthquake, flood, windstorm and boiler/machinery.  The policy shall grant permission for the insured to waive rights of subrogation prior to loss.

(d)Business Interruption Insurance.  At Tenant’s option, Tenant may, at its own cost and expense, procure and maintain business interruption insurance.

28



 

(e)Other Tenant Insurance Coverage.  Intentionally Deleted.

19.3General Tenant Insurance Requirements.

(a)All policies will be issued by carriers having ratings of Best’s Insurance Guide A-/XII and/or Standard & Poor Insurance Solvency Review A-, or better, and admitted to engage in the business of insurance in the State of New Jersey.  All policies (other than for worker’s compensation) must be endorsed to be primary and non-contributing with the policies of Landlord being excess, secondary and non-contributing.  No policy will be able to be canceled, non-renewed or materially modified (meaning that Tenant’s insurance coverage no longer complies with the requirements of this Lease) without 30 days prior written notice by the insurance carrier to Landlord, so long as such notice requirement is generally commercially available.  Tenant must immediately notify Landlord in writing if any aggregate limit is reduced below 75% of the limit required by this Lease because of losses paid.  No policy will contain a deductible or self-insured retention in excess of $5,000 without the prior written approval of Landlord, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(b)Evidence of the insurance coverage required to be maintained by Tenant hereunder, represented by certificates of insurance or evidences of insurance issued by the insurance carrier(s) on customary forms and constituting actual evidence of coverage, must be furnished to Landlord prior to entry upon the Premises and at least 30 days prior to the expiration of current policies.  Such certificates will specify the additional insured status as well as the waivers of subrogation.  Copies of all endorsements required by this Lease must accompany the certificates delivered to Landlord.  Such certificates will state the amounts of all deductibles and self-insured retentions and, to the extent the following requirement is generally commercially available, that Landlord and Landlord’s Indemnified Parties will be notified in writing 30 days prior to cancellation, material change, or non-renewal of insurance.

(c)Tenant may carry any insurance required by this Article 19 under a blanket policy, applicable to the Premises for the risks and in the amounts required pursuant to this Article 19, provided that all requirements of this Article 19 shall be complied with in respect of such policy and that such policy shall provide that the coverage thereunder for the Premises and occurrences in, on or about the Premises shall not be diminished by occurrences elsewhere.

(d)Premiums for all policies of insurance carried by the Landlord with respect to the Building and required by Section 19.4 below shall be Annual Operating Costs.

(e)Tenant shall have the right, upon notice to Landlord, to require Landlord to maintain all property insurance on the Tenant Work that shall become property of Landlord upon the expiration or termination of this Lease.  In such event, (i) the premiums for such insurance shall be included in Annual Operating Costs, and (ii) notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, Landlord shall be responsible for repairing and restoring all such Tenant Work following a casualty or condemnation in accordance with the terms of this Lease.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Landlord shall be responsible for repairing and restoring all items and work paid for by the Base Building Allowance following a casualty or condemnation in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Lease.

19.4Landlord’s Insurance Coverage.  Landlord shall maintain throughout the Term Special Form or All Risks property insurance upon the Building.  

(a)“All-Risk” or equivalent property insurance covering the Building up to the full replacement cost thereof, including all fixtures, equipment, machinery and apparatus which constitute a permanent part of such Building and other structures and improvements and all improvements paid for by the Base Building Allowance.  If the coverage is available and commercially appropriate (with commercially appropriate sublimits), such property insurance shall insure

against all risks of direct physical loss or damage including without limitation the perils of fire (with extended coverage), and physical loss or damage including theft, vandalism, malicious mischief, collapse, earthquake, flood, windstorm, boiler/machinery and full certified terrorism and non-certified terrorism with reasonable limits.  Such policy shall also include coverage for debris removal and the enforcement of any legal requirements requiring the upgrading, demolition, reconstruction or replacement of any portion of the Building as the result of a covered loss.  Such policy shall include, or be endorsed to include, loss of rental income coverage in an amount equal to 100% of the annual rental value of the Building.  Such policy may also include the following coverage extensions:  Service Interruption, Ingress/Egress, Interruption by Civil/Military Authority.

(b)Combination of Commercial General Liability insurance and Excess (Umbrella) Liability insurance (to be a following form over underlying insurance) on an occurrence basis with a combined single limit for bodily injury/property damage of $5,000,000 in the aggregate.

20.Waiver of Subrogation.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each party hereto, for itself, its successors, assigns, insurers, subtenants and mortgagees, hereby releases the other party, its officers, directors, trustees, partners, members, shareholders, agents and employees (“Releasees”), to the extent of the releasing party’s coverages under its insurance policies required to be maintained under this Lease (or, to the extent of such greater coverages as may actually be maintained), from any and all liability for any loss or damage which may be inflicted upon the property of such party (including without limitation rental value or business interruption) or injury or death to any person or persons, notwithstanding that such loss or damage shall have arisen out of the negligent or other tortious act or omission of any of the Releasees.  

21.Fire or Other Casualty.

21.1Except as provided below, in case of damage to the Premises by fire or other insured casualty, Landlord shall repair the damage.  In case of damage to Common Areas outside of the Building, Landlord shall repair the damage or cause the responsible party under the Master Deed or Master Declaration to repair the damage.  Such repair work shall be commenced promptly following notice of the damage and completed with due diligence, taking into account the time required for Landlord to effect a settlement with and procure insurance proceeds from the insurer, except for delays due to governmental regulation, scarcity of or inability to obtain labor or materials, intervening acts of God or other causes beyond Landlord's reasonable control and delays caused by Tenant.

21.2Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (i) the damage is of a nature or extent that, in Landlord's reasonable judgment (to be communicated to Tenant within thirty (30) days from the date of the casualty), the repair and restoration work would require more than two hundred seventy (270) days to complete after the casualty (assuming normal work crews not engaged in overtime), or (ii) if more than twenty-five (25%) percent of the total area of the Building is extensively damaged or if the Common Areas are damaged to the extent that Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Premises are materially adversely affected, or (iii) the casualty occurs in the last year of the Term and Tenant has not exercised a renewal right, either party shall have the right to terminate this Lease (provided that with respect to (ii) Landlord shall only have the right to terminate if it terminates all leases in the Building) and all the unaccrued obligations of the parties hereto, by sending written notice of such termination to the other within ten (10) days of Tenant's receipt of the notice from Landlord described above.  Such notice is to specify a termination date no less than fifteen (15) days after its transmission.

21.3If the insurance proceeds received by Landlord as dictated by the terms and conditions of any financing then existing on the Building (excluding any rent insurance proceeds) would be materially insufficient to pay for repairing the damage or are required to be applied on account of any mortgage which encumbers any part of the Premises or Building, or if the nature of loss is not covered by Landlord's insurance coverage and Landlord has complied with its insurance obligations hereunder, 

30



 

Landlord may elect either to (i) repair the damage as above provided notwithstanding such fact or (ii) terminate this Lease by giving Tenant notice of Landlord's election as aforesaid within thirty (30) days following such casualty, provided that Landlord shall simultaneously terminate all leases in the Building.

21.4In the event Landlord has not commenced restoration of the Premises within one hundred twenty (120) days from the date of casualty, Tenant may terminate this Lease by written notice to Landlord within ten (10) days following the expiration of such one hundred twenty (120) day period (as extended for delays caused by Tenant) unless, within thirty (30) days following receipt of such notice, Landlord shall commence such restoration.  In the event Landlord has not completed restoration of the Premises within three hundred (300) days from the date of casualty, Tenant may terminate this Lease upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Landlord at any time thereafter until such restoration is complete, provided that if Landlord shall complete restoration within such thirty (30) day period, Tenant’s termination shall be deemed rescinded and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect.  Rent shall abate as to those portions of the Premises that are, from time to time, untenantable as a result of such damage.  References to the “Premises” in this Section 21.4 shall include access thereto and parking and other Common Areas.

21.5Intentionally Deleted.  

21.6Landlord shall have no duty to repair or restore any personal property, fixtures, equipment or any alterations, additions, improvements or decorations in or to the Premises installed by Tenant, except as expressly provided in this Lease.

22.Indemnification.

22.1Notwithstanding any policy or policies of insurance required of Tenant but subject to Article 20, Tenant, for itself and its successors and assigns, to the extent permitted by law, shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Landlord, the Landlord’s Indemnified Parties and any Holder against and from any and all liability or claims of liability by any Person asserted against or incurred by Landlord in connection with (i) the use, occupancy, conduct, operation or management of the Premises by Tenant or any of its agents, contractors, servants, employees, licensees, suppliers, materialmen or invitees; or (ii) the use of the Common Areas or any portion thereof, the Building or other areas within or abutting the Building by Tenant or any of its agents, contractors, servants, employees, licensees, concessionaires, suppliers or materialmen or invitees; or (iii) any Tenant Work or other Alteration; or (iv) any breach or default in performing any of the obligations under the provisions of this Lease and/or applicable law by Tenant or any of its agents, contractors, servants, employees, licensees, concessionaires, suppliers, materialmen or invitees; or (v) any negligent, intentionally tortious or other act or omission by Tenant or any of its agents, contractors, servants, employees, licensees, concessionaires, suppliers, materialmen or invitees; or (vi) any injury to or death of any persons or any damage to any property occurring upon the Premises as a result of subsection (i) above, and from and against all costs, expenses and liabilities incurred in connection with any claim, action, demand, suit at law, in equity or before any administrative tribunal, arising in whole or in part by any reason of any of the foregoing (including, by way of example rather than of limitation, the reasonable fees of attorneys, investigators and experts), all regardless of whether such claim, is asserted before or after the expiration of the Term or any earlier termination of this Lease but excluding any liability or claims to the extent caused by Landlord or any of the Landlord’s Indemnified Parties.

22.2If any such claim, action or proceeding is brought against Landlord and/or any Holder, Tenant shall promptly, if requested by Landlord or such Holder, and at Tenant’s expense, resist or defend such claim, action or proceeding or cause it to be resisted or defended by an insurer.  Unless such claim, action or proceeding is being resisted or defended by an insurer, Landlord shall, at its option, be entitled to participate in the selection of counsel, settlement and all other matters pertaining to such claim, action or proceeding, all of which shall be subject, in any case, to the prior written approval of Landlord.

31



 

22.3Notwithstanding any policy or policies of insurance required of Landlord, but subject to the provisions of Article 20, Landlord, for itself and its successors and assigns, to the extent permitted by law, shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Tenant, its employees and agents against and from any and all liability or claims of liability by any Person asserted against or incurred by Tenant in connection with (i) any breach or default in performing any of the obligations under the provisions of this Lease and/or applicable law by Landlord or any of its agents, contractors, servants, employees, licensees, concessionaires, suppliers, materialmen or invitees; or (ii) any negligent, intentionally tortious or other act or omission by Landlord or any of its agents, contractors, servants, employees, licensees, concessionaires, suppliers, materialmen or invitees, and from and against all costs, expenses and liabilities incurred in connection with any claim, action, demand, suit at law, in equity or before any administrative tribunal, arising in whole or in part by any reason of any of the foregoing (including, by way of example rather than of limitation, the reasonable fees of attorneys, investigators and experts), all regardless of whether such claim, is asserted before or after the expiration of the Term or any earlier termination of this Lease.

23.Condemnation.

23.1If all or a substantial part of the Premises or the whole or a substantial part of the Building is subject to a Taking such that in the reasonable opinion of Landlord the Building is not economically operable as before without substantial alteration or reconstruction and Landlord simultaneously terminates all leases in the Building, this Lease shall automatically terminate on the date that the right to possession shall vest in the condemning authority (the “Taking Date”), with Rent being adjusted to said Taking Date, and Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord or the Taking authority for the value of any unexpired term of this Lease.  Tenant shall have no claim or right against Landlord or the Taking authority to any portion of any amount that may be awarded as damages or paid as a result of any Taking and any rights of Tenant thereto are hereby assigned by Tenant to Landlord; provided, however, Tenant may seek and collect from the condemning authority (not Landlord) awards for moving, removal, business dislocation damages, Tenant Work and other personal property and any other awards.  If the Building shall be acquired or condemned by eminent domain for any public or quasi-public use or purpose, then the term of this Lease shall cease and terminate as of the date on which possession of the Building is required to be surrendered by the condemning authority.  If any part of the Premises or the Common Areas shall be acquired or condemned as aforesaid and such partial taking or condemnation shall, in Tenant’s reasonable opinion, render the Premises unsuitable for Tenant’s business then the term of this Lease shall cease and terminate as of the date of the Premises or Common Areas or portion of either is required to be surrendered to the condemning authority.  If this Lease is not so terminated, then Rent and all other terms hereof shall be adjusted equitably.

24.Holding Over.

24.1Tenant shall, at the expiration of the Term, promptly quit and surrender the Premises in good order and condition and in conformity with the applicable provisions of this Lease, excepting only reasonable wear and tear, damage by fire or other casualty, condemnation and unperformed obligations of Landlord.  Tenant shall have no right to hold over beyond the expiration of the Term and in the event Tenant shall fail to deliver possession of the Premises as herein provided, such occupancy shall not be construed to effect or constitute other than a tenancy at sufferance and Landlord shall be entitled to recover from Tenant damages to compensate Landlord for the losses suffered by Landlord as a result of such holding over and compensation for such use and occupancy as set forth below; such damages hereby expressly exclude consequential, punitive or special damages but the parties hereby agree that damages incurred by Landlord due to the loss of a new lease for the Premises with another tenant due to Tenant’s holdover shall not be considered consequential damages).  During any period of occupancy beyond the expiration of the Term the amount of Minimum Rent owed to Landlord by Tenant shall automatically become one hundred and twenty-five percent (125%) of the sum of the Minimum Rent as those sums are at that time calculated under the provisions of the Lease for the last month of the Term.  The acceptance of rent by Landlord or the failure or delay of Landlord in notifying or evicting Tenant following the expiration or sooner termination of the Term shall not create any tenancy 

32



 

rights in Tenant and any such payments by Tenant may be applied by Landlord against its costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney's fees, incurred by Landlord as a result of such holdover.

24.2The provision of this Article 24 shall not be deemed to limit or constitute a waiver of any other rights or remedies of Landlord provided herein, at law or in equity.  Default hereunder shall not be subject to any notice or opportunity to cure.

25.Covenant of Quiet Enjoyment.  Landlord covenants that Tenant, on paying the Rent and all other charges or payments herein reserved and on keeping, observing and performing all the other terms, covenants, conditions, provisions and agreements herein contained on the part of Tenant to be kept, observed and performed, shall, during the Term, peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy the Premises  subject to the terms, covenants, conditions, provisions and agreements hereof, without hindrance or obstruction by Landlord or anyone claiming by, from or under Landlord.

26.[Intentionally Deleted].

27.No Third Party Beneficiaries.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no provision of this Lease is intended to benefit any party other than the signatories hereto and their permitted heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns, and no provision of this Lease shall be enforceable by any other party.

28.Default; Landlord’s Remedies.

28.1Tenant Defaults.  If any of the following (each an “Event of Default”) shall occur:

28.1.1Tenant does not pay in full when due any installment of Rent or any other charge or payment due to Landlord hereunder whether or not herein included as Rent and such failure continues for 5 days after written notice from Landlord to Tenant of such failure; provided that with respect to Minimum Rent and Additional Rent, Tenant will be entitled to only 2 notices of such failure during any Lease Year and if, after 2 such notices are given in any Lease Year, Tenant fails, during such Lease Year, to pay any such amounts when due, such failure will constitute an Event of Default without further notice by Landlord or additional cure period,

28.1.2Tenant violates or fails to perform or otherwise breaks any covenant, agreement or  condition herein contained or any other obligation of Tenant to Landlord, and such breach or noncompliance continues for a period of 20 days after notice by Landlord to Tenant; or, if such breach or noncompliance cannot be reasonably cured within such 20 day period, Tenant does not in good faith commence to cure such breach or noncompliance within such 20 day period or does not diligently complete such cure as soon as possible, but no later than 60 days after such notice from Landlord,

28.1.3Intentionally deleted,

28.1.4Tenant fails to comply with or violates the provisions of Articles 12 or 29 and such failure continues for more than five (5) business days after Tenant’s receipt of written notice of such failure or violation from Landlord,

28.1.5Tenant fails to comply with or violates the provisions of Articles 14, 16, or 24 of this Lease, or

28.1.6Tenant becomes the subject of commencement of an involuntary case under the federal bankruptcy law as now or hereafter constituted, or there is filed a petition against Tenant seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition of or in respect of Tenant under the federal bankruptcy law as now or hereafter constituted, or under any other applicable federal or state 

33



 

bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law, or seeking the appointment of a receiver, liquidator or assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator (or similar official) of Tenant or any substantial part of its property, or seeking the winding‐up or liquidation of its affairs and such involuntary case or petition is not dismissed within 60 days after the filing thereof, or if Tenant commences a voluntary case or institutes proceedings to be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, or consents to the institution of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings against it, under the Federal bankruptcy laws as now or hereafter constituted, or any other applicable Federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency or other similar law, or consents to the appointment of or taking possession by a receiver or liquidator or assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator (or other similar official) of Tenant or of any substantial part of its property, or makes any assignment for the benefit of creditors or admits in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due or fails to generally pay its debts as they become due or if Tenant or its stockholders or Board of Directors or any committee thereof takes any corporate action in furtherance of any of the foregoing, then

28.2Landlord Remedies.  At any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default, the following provisions shall apply and Landlord shall have the rights and remedies set forth in this Lease which rights and remedies may be exercised upon or at any time following the occurrence of an Event of Default unless, prior to such exercise, Landlord shall agree in writing with Tenant that the Event(s) of Default has been cured by Tenant in all respects:

28.2.1If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing beyond any applicable cure period, Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease upon ten (10) days prior written notice.  In the event this Lease is terminated, Landlord may reenter the Premises, solely by summary proceedings, remove Tenant and all other persons and property from the Premises and store such property in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the sole cost and expense of and for the account of Tenant without Landlord being deemed guilty of trespass or becoming liable for any loss or damage occasioned thereby.

28.2.2Without terminating this Lease, Landlord may re-enter and take possession of the Premises solely under and by virtue of the laws of the State of New Jersey.

28.2.3[Intentionally Omitted]

28.2.4If Landlord reenters and takes possession of the Premises pursuant to this Section, without terminating this Lease, and relets the Premises or any part thereof, the net rentals from such letting shall be applied first to the direct, actual, out-of-pocket costs, fees, damages and expenses incurred by Landlord in pursuit of its remedies hereunder, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, in renting the Premises or part thereof to others from time to time (including the cost and expense of making such improvements to the Premises as may be necessary to enable Landlord to re-let same), provided that in no event shall Tenant be entitled to a credit on its indebtedness to Landlord in excess of the aggregate sum (including Rent and additional rent) which would have been paid by Tenant had no Event of Default occurred.  The balance, if any, shall be applied by Landlord from time to time on account of the Rent and other payments due from Tenant hereunder, with the right reserved to Landlord to bring such actions or proceedings for the recovery of any deficits remaining unpaid as Landlord may deem favorable from time to time without being obligated to await the end of the Term of this Lease for the final determination of Tenant’s account.

28.2.5All rights and remedies of Landlord set forth herein are in addition to all other rights and remedies available to Landlord at law or in equity.  Landlord may elect to seek any combination of or all remedies available to Landlord under this Lease or at law or equity.  All remedies hereinbefore given to Landlord and all rights and remedies given to it at law and in equity shall be cumulative and concurrent.

34



 

28.2.6Landlord shall not be deemed to have waived any default by Tenant hereunder unless such waiver is set forth in a written instrument signed by Landlord.

28.2.7The acceptance by Landlord of delayed or defective performance shall not constitute a waiver by Landlord of any future breach or of any other covenant, condition, or agreement set forth herein, nor of any of Landlord’s rights hereunder. Neither the payment by Tenant of a lesser amount than the installments of Rent, or additional rent or of any sums due hereunder nor any endorsement or statement on any check or letter accompanying a check for payment of any sums payable hereunder shall be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the balance of such sums or to pursue any other remedy available to Landlord. No re-entry by Landlord, and no acceptance by Landlord of keys from Tenant, shall be considered an acceptance of a surrender of this Lease.

28.2.8Notwithstanding any provision in this Lease to the contrary, Tenant’s right to any rent abatement, discount, allowance, or reduction of rent shall be null and void upon the default of Tenant under this Lease, and in addition to any other remedy which Landlord may be entitled to, seek or obtain, Landlord shall be entitled and Tenant shall pay to Landlord all rent which Tenant would have paid to Landlord, including but not limited to any abated discounted or reduced rent.  This Section 28.2.8 shall only apply to the extent that Landlord does not actually receive the Rent due to it under this Section 28 due to an Event of Default by Tenant.

28.2.9By written notice to Tenant, Landlord shall have the right to accelerate the sum of twelve (12) months’ Minimum Rent, Tax Share and Operating Cost Share at a time, and, at Landlord’s option, the amount of accelerated rent, without further notice or demand for payment, shall be due and payable by Tenant within ten (10) days after Landlord has notified Tenant.

28.3Landlord’s Re-Entry.  If this Lease shall be terminated as provided in Section 28.2, above, Landlord, or its agents or employees, may re-enter the Premises at any time and remove therefrom Tenant, Tenant's agents, and any subtenants, licensees, concessionaires or invitees, together with any of its or their property, either by summary dispossess proceedings or by any suitable action or proceeding at law or otherwise. In the event of such termination, Landlord may repossess and enjoy the Premises. Landlord shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of law respecting the speedy recovery of lands and tenements, or proceedings in forcible entry and detainer. Tenant waives any rights to the service of any notice of Landlord's intention to re-enter provided for by any present or future law. Landlord shall not be liable in any way in connection with any action it takes pursuant to the foregoing. Notwithstanding any such re-entry, repossession, dispossession or removal, Tenant's monetary obligations under all of the provisions of this Lease shall continue as and to the extent set forth in this Lease.

28.4Landlord’s Additional Remedies.  

(a)In case of re-entry or repossession of the Premises (but not termination of this Lease), Tenant shall remain liable (in addition to accrued liabilities) to the extent legally permissible for (“Current Damages”): (i) the Minimum Rent, Additional Rent, and all other charges provided for herein until the date this Lease would have expired had such re-entry or repossession not occurred; and all expenses which Landlord may have incurred in re-entering the Premises, repossessing the same; making good any Event of Default of Tenant; painting, altering or dividing the Premises; combining or placing the same in proper repair; protecting and preserving the same by placing therein watchmen and caretakers; reletting the same (including reasonable attorney's fees and disbursements, Marshall’s fees, brokerage fees, in so doing); and any expenses which Landlord may incur during the occupancy of any new tenant; less (ii) the proceeds of any reletting.  Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord the difference between items (i) and (ii) hereinabove with respect to each month, at the end of such month.  Any suit brought by Landlord to enforce collection of such difference for any one month shall not prejudice Landlord's right to enforce the collection of any difference for any subsequent month.  In addition to the foregoing, Tenant shall pay to Landlord such sums as the court may adjudge reasonable 

35



 

as attorney's fees with respect to any successful lawsuit or action instituted by Landlord to enforce the provisions hereof.   

(b)Landlord may relet the whole or any part of said Premises for the whole of the unexpired period of this Lease, or longer, or from time to time for shorter periods, for any rental then obtainable, giving such concessions of rent and making such special repairs, alterations, decorations and paintings for any new tenant as it may in its sole and absolute discretion deem advisable (all of which, without limitation, Tenant shall be liable for pursuant to Section 28.4(a)(i)) and may collect and receive the rents therefor.

(c)LANDLORD SHALL USE COMMERCIALLY REASONABLE EFFORTS TO MITIGATE ANY DAMAGES LANDLORD MAY SUFFER AS A RESULT OF ANY DEFAULT BY TENANT UNDER THIS LEASE.

(d)In the event Landlord terminates this Lease due to an Event of Default, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, on demand (the “Demand”), as liquidated and agreed "Final Damages" (and not as a penalty) for Tenant's Event of Default and in lieu of all Current Damages, an amount equal to the present cash value (using an annual discount rate of 8%) on the date of Demand of the Minimum Rent and Additional Rent which would have been payable from the date of Demand for what would have been the unexpired Term if it had not been terminated, plus the Minimum Rent and Additional Rent due through the earlier of the date of termination or repossession, less the fair market value of the Premises for the balance of the unexpired Term.

If any statute or rule of law governing a proceeding in which Final Damages are to be proved validly limits the Final Damages to an amount less than that provided for herein, Landlord is entitled to the maximum amount allowable under the statute or rule of law.

28.5Waiver of Right of Redemption.  Tenant hereby expressly waives (to the extent legally permissible), for itself and all persons claiming by, through, or under it, any right of redemption or for the restoration of the operation of this Lease under any present or future law in case Tenant shall be dispossessed for any cause, or in case Landlord shall obtain possession of the Premises as herein provided.

28.6Landlord’s Right to Perform for Account of Tenant.  If an Event of Default shall occur hereunder, Landlord may, at any time, cure said Event of Default for the account and at the expense of Tenant.  Tenant shall pay, on demand, to Landlord, with interest at the maximum legal rate, if any, otherwise at a rate of the sum of the Prime Rate (as advertised in the Wall Street Journal of NY) plus 300 basis points (3%) per year, the amount so paid, expended, or incurred by the Landlord and any expense of Landlord including reasonable attorney's fees incurred in connection with such Event of Default; and all of the same shall be deemed to be Additional Rent.

28.7Additional Remedies, Waivers, etc.:  With respect to the rights and remedies of and waivers by Landlord:

(i)The rights and remedies of Landlord set forth herein shall be in addition to any other right and remedy now and hereafter provided by law or equity.  All such rights and remedies shall be cumulative and not exclusive of each other.  Landlord may exercise such rights and remedies at such times, in such order, to such extent, and as often as Landlord deems advisable without regard to whether the exercise of one right or remedy proceeds, concurs with or succeeds the exercise of another.

(ii)A single or partial exercise of a right or remedy shall not preclude (1) a further exercise thereof, or (2) the exercise of another right or remedy, from time to time.

36



 

(iii)No delay or omission by Landlord in exercising a right or remedy shall exhaust or impair the same or constitute a waiver of, or acquiescence to an Event of Default.

(iv)No waiver of an Event of Default shall extend to or affect any other Event of Default or impair any right or remedy with respect thereto.

(v)No action or inaction by Landlord shall constitute a waiver of an Event of Default.

(vi)No waiver of an Event of Default shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by Landlord.

28.8Distraint:  Intentionally Deleted.

28.9Acceptance of Payments by Landlord.  Landlord shall have the right to apply any payments made by Tenant to the satisfaction of any debt or obligation of Tenant to Landlord according to Landlord’s sole discretion and regardless of the instructions of Tenant as to application of any such sum, whether such instructions be endorsed upon Tenant’s check or otherwise, unless otherwise agreed by the parties in writing.  The acceptance by Landlord of a check or checks drawn by other than Tenant shall not in any way affect Tenant’s liability hereunder (except to reduce same by the amount of such check or checks), nor shall such acceptance be deemed an approval of any subletting or assignment of this Lease by Tenant.

28.10Landlord Default.  In the event that Landlord fails to perform its obligations under this Lease, Tenant may give Landlord written notice of such failure setting forth in reasonable detail the nature and extent of such failure and if Landlord does not complete such cure within thirty (30) days after receipt of Tenant’s notice (or if such cure is not capable of being cured within such 30 day period, if Landlord does not commence to cure within such 30-day period or if Landlord thereafter fails to continuously and diligently pursue such cure to completion), Tenant may commence to cure Landlord’s failure (including without limitation Landlord’s failure to pay any amount due under this Lease), in which event Landlord shall reimburse Tenant within thirty (30) days after receipt of Tenant’s reasonably itemized bill in the amount of all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Tenant in so curing said failure, which bill shall be accompanied by reasonable proof that Tenant has paid the sums sought to be reimbursed; failing which Tenant shall have the right to setoff any outstanding amounts against Rent due hereunder.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Tenant’s cure of any such failure by Landlord is reasonably necessary to protect the Premises or to prevent injury or damage to persons or property, Tenant may proceed to cure prior to the expiration of such 30-day period upon giving two (2) days prior written notice to Landlord.  With respect to any such cure by Tenant, the extent of the work performed by Tenant in curing such default shall not exceed the work that is reasonably necessary to effectuate such remedy and the cost of such work shall be reasonably prudent and economical under the circumstances.

29.Subordination.

29.1This Lease is and shall be subject and subordinate at all times to the lien of any mortgage, deed of trust and/or other encumbrance now existing or hereafter placed by Landlord upon the Building and all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof (all of which are hereinafter referred to collectively as a “Mortgage” and the holder thereof, a “Holder”), provided that Landlord delivers a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement in commercially reasonable form (each, “SNDA”) (i) on or prior to the date hereof with respect to each Mortgage from each Holder in the form of Exhibit “F” attached hereto, and (ii) on or prior to the date on which any future Mortgage affects the Building or Unit B with respect to each future Mortgage from each Holder thereof.  Tenant shall have the right to record each SNDA.

37



 

29.2Anything contained in the foregoing provisions of this Article 29 to the contrary notwithstanding, any such Holder may at any time subordinate, in whole or in part, its Mortgage to the operation and effect of this Lease, without the necessity of obtaining Tenant’s consent thereto, by giving notice of the same in writing to Tenant, and thereupon this Lease shall be deemed to be prior to such Mortgage without regard to their respective dates of execution, delivery and/or recordation, and in that event, such Holder shall have the same rights with respect to this Lease as though this Lease were executed, delivered and recorded prior to the execution and delivery of such Mortgage.

29.3If Landlord is or becomes a tenant leasing the Building or the land upon which it stands, then Tenant agrees that Tenant’s possession shall be that of a subtenant and subordinate to the interest of Landlord’s lessor, its heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns (such lessor and other persons being hereinafter collectively referred to as an “Overlessor”), provided that Landlord delivers an SNDA from each Overlessor before any such lease affects the Building or such land.  Landlord hereby represents and warrants that it is the fee simple owner of Unit B and the Building as of the date hereof.  So long as Landlord has complied with its obligation to deliver an SNDA, Tenant shall execute, acknowledge and deliver, upon demand by Landlord or any Overlessor, such further commercially reasonable instruments evidencing such subordination of Tenant’s right, title and interest under this Lease to the interests of an Overlessor, and if applicable such further commercially reasonable instruments of attornment, as shall be reasonably requested by such Overlessor.

29.5Intentionally deleted.  

30.Legal Proceedings.

30.1Expenses of Enforcement.  Tenant shall pay upon demand all Landlord’s costs, charges and expenses, including the reasonable fees and out‐of‐pocket expenses of counsel, agents and others retained by Landlord, incurred by Landlord in any litigation in which Tenant causes Landlord, without Landlord’s fault, to become a party thereto.

30.2Prevailing Party Fees.  If during the Term, either party incurs any reasonable expenses, including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees, relating to enforcing the provisions of this Lease or pursuing any default hereunder, provided that party prevails in a legal action or proceeding against the other party, then the losing party agrees to reimburse the prevailing party for all such expenses.  Notwithstanding any provision in this Lease to the contrary, the term “Attorney’s Fees” wherever used in this Lease shall mean only the reasonable charges for services actually performed and rendered by independent, outside legal counsel.

30.3LANDLORD AND TENANT HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS LEASE WOULD BE BASED UPON DIFFICULT AND COMPLEX ISSUES, AND THEREFORE, EACH PARTY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTELLIGENTLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT EACH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE LEASE OR ITS NEGOTIATIONS OR RELATIONSHIP OF ONE PARTY WITH THE OTHER.  TENANT AND LANDLORD HEREBY CERTIFY THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE OR AGENT OF EITHER PARTY (INCLUDING ITS COUNSEL) HAS REPRESENTED EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT IT WOULD NOT IN THE EVENT OF SUCH LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO JURY TRIAL.  LANDLORD AND TENANT ACKNOWLEDGE THAT EACH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THE LEASE WITH THE OTHER BY INTER ALIA, THE PROVISIONS OF THIS 

38



 

PARAGRAPH.

Tenant shall furnish written notice (the “Renewal Notice”) of intent to renew nine (9) months prior to the expiration of the initial Term or applicable Renewal Term, failing which, such renewal right shall be deemed waived; time being of the essence.

The appraiser will not establish the appraiser’s own Fair Market Value; instead, the appraiser must select either the Landlord’s or Tenant’s valuation and will immediately notify the parties of the selection.  The Fair Market Value requested by Landlord or Tenant, and selected as the one closer to the actual Fair Market Value by the appraiser, will be the Fair Market Value used for the purposes of this Section.  

(d)For purposes of determining the Fair Market Value, the “Fair Market Value” means what a landlord under no compulsion to lease the Premises and a tenant under no compulsion to lease the Premises would determine as rents (including initial Minimum Rent and rental increases as well as the base year for Real Estate Taxes and Annual Operating Costs and free rent and tenant improvement costs and allowances) for the Renewal Term, as of the commencement of the Renewal Term, taking into consideration the uses permitted under the Lease, the quality, size, design and location of the Premises, and the rent for comparable first-class space located in the Township and surrounding areas.  The Fair Market Value shall be based on a per square foot basis.

(b)All of Tenant’s construction contracts shall include indemnification provisions in favor of Landlord substantially as follows: To the fullest extent permitted by applicable laws, the Contractor agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Landlord and all officers, directors, employees, shareholders, members, principals, partners and agents of Landlord, and of any of the entities comprising Landlord (collectively, “Landlord’s Indemnified Parties”), from and against all costs, losses, damages, injuries and liabilities, judgments, claims and proceedings (collectively, “Losses”), arising out of death, personal injury or property damage to the extent caused by the negligent, or recklessly or deliberately wrongful actions or omissions of the Contractor, any subcontractor or supplier, and/or their respective employees and agents, in connection with the Tenant Work. This indemnity shall apply regardless of whether the Losses are caused in part by the negligence of the indemnified party.  Furthermore, this indemnity shall apply to claims against any of the Landlord’s Indemnified Parties by an employee of the Contractor or a subcontractor, anyone directly or indirectly employed by them or for whose acts they may be liable.  In claims against any of the Landlord’s Indemnified Parties by an employee of the Contractor or a subcontractor, anyone directly or indirectly employed by them or for whose acts they may be liable, the indemnity obligation of this paragraph shall not be limited by any limitation on the amount or type of damages, compensation, or benefits payable by or for the Contractor or subcontractors under workers’ compensation acts, disability benefit acts, or other employee benefit acts.  The Contractor shall also defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Landlord’s Indemnified Parties against Losses caused by the Contractor’s failure to adhere to laws relating to (1) the withholding of taxes based on wages or salaries, or (2) the health or safety of persons in connection with the Tenant Work or at the project site.

(a)All of Tenant’s Agents (as hereinafter defined) shall carry worker’s compensation insurance covering all of their respective employees, and shall also carry commercial general liability insurance in amounts not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) per incident, Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) in the aggregate, including property damage, all in form and with companies as are required to be carried by Tenant as set forth in the Lease.

 

(b)Tenant shall carry "Builder’s All Risk" insurance covering the construction of the Tenant Work, it being understood and agreed that the Tenant Work shall be insured by Tenant immediately upon completion thereof, subject to the terms of the Lease.  Such insurance shall be in a commercially reasonable amount.

 

(c)Certificates for all insurance carried pursuant to this Section II.8 shall be delivered to Landlord prior to the commencement of construction of the Tenant Work and before the Contractor’s equipment is moved onto the site.  To the extent generally commercially available, all such policies of insurance must contain a provision that the company writing said policy will give Landlord thirty (30) days prior written notice of any cancellation or lapse of the effective date or any reduction in the amounts of such insurance.  In the event that the Tenant Work (but not any other part of the Premises or Building) is damaged by any cause during the course of the construction thereof, Tenant shall 

 



 

immediately repair the same at Tenant’s sole cost and expense.  Tenant’s contractors (including subcontractors) and all other parties performing Tenant Work on behalf of Tenant (“Tenant’s Agents”) shall maintain all of the foregoing insurance coverage in force until the Tenant Work is fully completed, except for any Products and Completed Operation Coverage insurance required by Landlord, which shall be maintained as set forth in the applicable insurance contract.  All policies carried under this Section II.8 shall insure Landlord and Tenant as additional insureds, as their interests may appear, as well as Tenant’s Agents.  All insurance, except Workers’ Compensation, maintained by Tenant’s Agents shall preclude subrogation claims by the insurer against any additional insureds thereunder.  Such insurance shall provide that it is primary insurance as respects the owner and that any other insurance maintained by owner is excess and noncontributing with the insurance required hereunder.  The requirements for the foregoing insurance shall not derogate from the provisions for indemnification of Landlord by Tenant under Section II.7 of this Work Letter.

Tenant or Tenant’s Agents shall obtain and pay for all necessary building permits and inspections, including, without limitation, the final certificate of occupancy for the Premises.   

 

II.11.Inspection by Landlord.  Landlord shall have the right to inspect the Tenant Work upon reasonable advance notice to Tenant and so long as any such inspection does not interfere with the performance of the Tenant Work, provided however, that Landlord’s failure to inspect the Tenant Work shall in no event constitute a waiver of any of Landlord’s rights hereunder nor shall Landlord’s inspection of the Tenant Work constitute Landlord’s approval of the same.

 

II.12.Lien Release Waivers.  Tenant shall promptly pay all contractors, subcontractors and materialmen so as to minimize the possibility of a lien or claim of lien being filed with respect to the Premises or Property, and should any such lien be made or filed, Tenant shall cause the same to be discharged by bond or otherwise as set forth in the Lease.  At the conclusion of the Tenant Work, Tenant shall provide to Landlord an unconditional lien waiver and release from the Contractor.

 

II.13.  SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION.  “Substantially Completed” or “Substantial Completion” shall mean (i) the stage in the progress of the Tenant Work when such work (or a designated portion thereof) is sufficiently complete in accordance with the Tenant’s Final Plans so that the Tenant can occupy the Premises (or a designated portion thereof) for its intended use, in accordance with applicable law; (ii) a certificate of occupancy has been approved for such Tenant Work by the Township; and (iii) a certificate of Substantial Completion has been issued by the independent architect who or which prepared the Tenant’s Final Plans.

(a)Landlord shall provide to Tenant (i) the TI Allowance and (ii) the Base Building Allowance (the TI Allowance and the Base Building Allowance may collectively be referred to herein as the “Improvement Allowance”).

The Base Building Allowance may be used and allocated by Tenant in accordance with Section 1.14 of the Lease.

 

(b)Disbursement of the Improvement Allowance.  Provided Tenant is not in default of any of Tenant’s obligations under the Lease beyond applicable notice and cure periods, and no event shall have occurred which, with the giving of notice and/or the passage of time will become a default hereunder if uncured by Tenant, unless and until cured by Tenant, Landlord shall pay the Improvement Allowance, or any portion thereof to Tenant as work progresses, but no more frequently than once every thirty (30) days, provided the following conditions are met by Tenant for payment with respect to the applicable portion of the work and such payment shall be made within thirty (30) days thereafter:

 

(i)Tenant has obtained all Tenant Work Approvals with respect to the work that is the subject of such request and has furnished to Landlord copies thereof.

 

(ii)Tenant has furnished to Landlord invoices from the general contractor and all other contractors and an AIA certificate from Tenant’s general contractor stating that all of the work for which payment is being requested has been performed and setting forth the total cost of the work performed.  In addition, Tenant shall furnish Landlord with mechanic’s lien partial or final lien waivers, as applicable, in a commercially reasonable form, dependent upon payment of the contractor’s invoices, from the general contractor and all other contractors and suppliers who have theretofore performed work or furnished supplies for or in connection with the Tenant Work at the Premises that is the subject of such request.

 

(iii)Advances for construction costs not yet incurred shall be made as needed, but not more frequently than once per month and only on thirty (30) days' prior written notice to Landlord unless otherwise agreed in writing by Landlord. The amount of each advance shall be based upon the percentage completion of the Tenant Work, and at Landlord’s option, Landlord may withhold ten percent (10%) retainage from each advance, such retainage to be withheld by Landlord until the final advance after completion of the Tenant Work.

 

(iv)With respect to payment of the retainage only, (i) Tenant has obtained a certificate of occupancy with respect to the Premises; (ii) Tenant has furnished Landlord with a certificate of substantial completion certifying to Landlord and Tenant from Tenant’s architect that the Tenant Work has been completed in accordance with the Tenant’s Final Plans (including any modifications thereto made in accordance with this Work Letter); (iii) Tenant has furnished Landlord mechanic’s lien final waivers, in a commercially reasonable form, from the general contractor and all other contractors and suppliers who performed work or furnished supplies for or in connection with all of the Tenant Work at the Premises, contingent only upon receipt of final payment.

 

(v)Landlord shall have the right to withhold such amounts necessary for payment of any lien or claim filed against the Premises as a result of the Tenant Work. Tenant shall furnish a bond, reasonably satisfactory to Landlord in the event any contractor or subcontractor refuses to discharge any lien or claim.

 

 



 

(vi)Should the Tenant Work cost less than the Improvement Allowance, the difference between the actual cost of Tenant Work and the Improvement Allowance shall be applied to Rent due under the Lease.  If the cost of the Tenant Work exceeds the Improvement Allowance, (i) Tenant shall be solely responsible for paying the amount by which the cost of the Tenant Work exceeds the Improvement Allowance (the “Excess”), and (ii) Tenant shall pay the Excess on a pari passu basis with Landlord paying the Improvement Allowance as the cost of the Tenant Work is paid, in the proportion of the Excess payable by Tenant to the Improvement Allowance payable by Landlord.

 

 

 

II.15.WORK AND COST STATEMENT.  Tenant shall be responsible for the cost to construct and install the Tenant Work hereunder, subject to the obligation of Landlord to pay to Tenant the Improvement Allowance, as hereinabove provided.  Together with the submission of the Tenant Work Plans and Specifications to Landlord, as provided for above, and otherwise upon request by Landlord from time to time, Tenant shall prepare and submit to Landlord, a high level statement of the estimated cost to construct and install the Tenant Work, which shall designate or note the items of the Tenant Work that are being paid for with the Base Building Allowance.

 

II.16.DEMISING WALLS.

SUBORDINATION, NONDISTURBANCE AND 

ATTORNMENT AGREEMENT

 

This AGREEMENT dated as of the _____ day of ________________, 2018, between Erytech Pharma, Inc. a Delaware corporation with an address of One Main Street, Suite 1150, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02142, Attention: Gil Beyen (“Tenant”), American Heritage Federal Credit Union, a federally chartered credit union, with an address of 2068 Red Lion Road, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19115 (the “Mortgagee”), 104 Campus Drive LLC, a New Jersey limited liability company, with an address of 1481 47th Street, Brooklyn, New York 11219, Attention: Akiva Tauber (“Landlord”).

 

WHEREAS, Landlord owns or will own the real property located at known as 104 Campus Drive, Princeton, West Windsor Township, New Jersey (“Landlord’s Premises”).

 

WHEREAS, Mortgagee has made or will make a loan to Landlord as the loan may be modified or amended from time to time (“Loan”);

 

WHEREAS, to secure the Loan, Landlord has encumbered or will encumber Landlord’s Premises by entering into a mortgage in favor of Mortgagee (the “Mortgage”);

 

WHEREAS, pursuant to a Lease dated as of __________________, 2018, as such lease may have been, or may be amended from time to time (the “Lease”), Landlord demised to Tenant a portion of the Landlord’s Premises (“Tenant’s Premises”) as more fully set forth within the Lease.  A true and correct copy of the Lease is attached hereto as Exhibit “A”; 

 

WHEREAS, Landlord requests Mortgagee to provide financial accommodations to Landlord in the form of the Loan and represent and acknowledge to Mortgagee that Landlord and Tenant will benefit as a result of the Loan and acknowledges receipt of valuable consideration for entering into this Agreement; and

 

WHEREAS, Tenant and Mortgagee desire to agree upon the relative priorities of their interests in Landlord’s Premises and their rights and obligations if certain events occur, and Landlord has joined in this Agreement to, among other things, consent to the same.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and sufficient consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, Tenant and Mortgagee, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

 

1.Subordination.  The Lease and all of Tenant’s rights thereunder shall be, and shall at all times remain, subject and subordinate to the Mortgage, the lien imposed by the Mortgage, and all indebtedness secured by the Mortgage.

 

 



 

2.Nondisturbance and Attornment.  So long as the Lease has not been terminated on account of Tenant’s default, Mortgagee shall not name Tenant as a defendant in any exercise of Mortgagee’s rights and remedies arising upon a default under the Mortgage unless applicable law requires Tenant to be made a party thereto as a condition to proceeding against Landlord or prosecuting such rights and remedies.  In the latter case, Mortgagee may join Tenant as a defendant in such action only for such purpose and not to terminate the Lease or otherwise adversely affect Tenant’s rights under the Lease or this Agreement in such action.  If the Lease has not been terminated on account of a default by Tenant, then, when any third party including  Mortgagee (“Successor Landlord”) takes title to Landlord’s Premises (“Attornment Date”) as a result of a foreclosure or sale by Mortgagee:  (a) Successor Landlord shall not terminate or disturb Tenant’s possession of Tenant’s Premises under the Lease, except in accordance with the terms of the Lease and this Agreement;  (b) Successor Landlord shall be bound to Tenant under all the terms and conditions of the Lease (except as provided in this Agreement); (c) Tenant shall recognize and attorn to Successor Landlord as Tenant’s direct landlord under the Lease as affected by this Agreement; and (d) the Lease shall continue in full force and effect as a direct lease, in accordance with its terms (except as provided in this Agreement), between Successor Landlord and Tenant.

 

3.Liability of Mortgagee.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Lease or the Mortgage, neither Mortgagee nor the Successor Landlord shall be liable for or bound by any acts or omission of the Landlord under the Lease, including, but not limited to, an offset right and claim for prepayments or security deposits, except, however, that Mortgagee and Successor Landlord shall be liable for any defaults of Landlord that are continuing at the time either takes possession of Landlord’s Premises (but beyond curing the default, Mortgagee and/or Successor Landlord shall only be liable to the extent the damage/loss from the default was incurred after either Mortgagee or Successor Landlord took possession of Landlord’s Premises) and Tenant shall receive credit under the Lease for any prepayments or security deposits or similar amounts to the extent received by Mortgagee or Successor Landlord.  

 

4.Status of Lease. To the best of Tenant’s knowledge and belief, the Lease is in full force and effect, has not been modified, and constitutes the entire agreement between Landlord and Tenant relating to Tenant’s Premises.  Tenant has no interest in Landlord’s Premises except pursuant to the Lease.  To the best of Tenant’s knowledge, no breach or default by Landlord exists and no event has occurred that, with the giving of notice, the passage of time, or both, would constitute such a breach or default.  To the best of Tenant’s knowledge, Tenant is not in default under the Lease and has not received any uncured written notice of any default by Landlord under the Lease.

 

5.Tenant Covenants.  Tenant covenants with the Mortgagee that now and continuing as long as the Mortgage shall remain valid and unsatisfied, Tenant shall (a) comply with written notice from Mortgagee that rent should be paid directly to Mortgagee and thereafter Tenant shall pay all rent or other payments due to Landlord directly to Mortgagee or as Mortgagee shall direct in writing, until such time as Mortgagee directs otherwise in writing; and (b) not subordinate the Lease to the lien of any other mortgage other than the Mortgage in favor of the Mortgagee.

 

6.Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement shall bind and benefit the parties, their successors and assigns, any Successor Landlord, and its successors and assigns.  If Mortgagee assigns the Mortgage, then upon delivery to Tenant of written notice thereof accompanied by the assignee’s written assumption of all obligations under this Agreement, all liability of the assignor accruing thereafter shall terminate.

 

 



 

7.Interaction with Lease and with Mortgage.  If this Agreement conflicts with the Lease, then this Agreement shall govern as between Tenant and any Successor Landlord, including upon any attornment pursuant to this Agreement.  This Agreement supersedes, and constitutes full compliance with, any provisions in the Lease that provide for subordination of the Lease to, or for delivery of nondisturbance agreements by the holder of, the Mortgage.  Mortgagee confirms that Mortgagee has consented to Landlord’s entering into the Lease.

 

8.Landlord’s Obligations. Landlord joins in this Agreement to consent to the same and shall not alter, waive or diminish any of Landlord’s obligations under the Mortgage or the Lease.  Landlord shall indemnify and hold Mortgagee harmless from any and all claims made by Tenant as a result of Mortgagee’s status under this Agreement or as a result of a breach of the Lease.  Landlord irrevocably directs Tenant to comply with any written notice to pay rents directly to Mortgagee, such payment shall not be deemed a violation under the Lease and Tenant shall receive full credit under the Lease for same. Landlord hereby releases Tenant from, and shall indemnify and hold Tenant harmless from and against, any and all loss, claim, damage, liability, cost or expense (including payment of reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) arising from any claim based upon Tenant’s compliance with any notice to pay rent from Mortgagee.  Landlord shall look solely to Mortgagee with respect to any claims Landlord may have on account of an incorrect or wrongful notice.

 

9.Interpretation; Governing Law.  The interpretation, validity and enforcement of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the State of New Jersey.  

 

10.Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, shall be an original, but such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument.

 

11.Authority.  Mortgagee, Landlord and Tenant each represents and warrants that each person who signed this Agreement on its behalf has authority to execute and deliver this Agreement on its behalf.

 

12.Notices.  All notices hereunder shall be sent in accordance with the Lease and, with respect to Mortgagee, to the address set forth in the first paragraph hereof.




 



 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have duly executed this Agreement with full authority to do so, as of the first date set forth above.
