recognize any purchaser at a foreclosure sale of any mortgage or deed of trust or any such purchaser at a sale exercised in connection with the mortgagee’s or trustee’s remedy of power of sale pursuant to any mortgage or deed of trust affecting the Demised Premises and/or Center or any transferee who acquires the Demised Premises and/or Center by deed in lieu of foreclosure, and the successors and/or assigns of such transferee or purchaser. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, this Lease shall not be subject and subordinate to the lien of Landlord’s Financing, unless an instrument, duly executed by the holder(s) of Landlord’s Financing, shall be delivered to Tenant which instrument shall contain an agreement in substance, to be effective only so long as Tenant shall not be in default under the provisions of this Lease, that such holder shall recognize Tenant’s rights under this Lease, shall not cut off or terminate this Lease through foreclosure of the documents securing Landlord’s Financing, and Tenant shall not be disturbed in its possession of the Demised Premises or the exercise of any of its rights under the Lease, which agreement may also contains such provisions as are typically included therein by commercial lenders (such agreement hereinafter referred to as the “Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement”).

ARTICLE 5. AS-IS; LANDLORD’S WORK;TENANT’S WORK

 

Section 5.01. Tenant has examined the Demised Premises and has made a complete inspection of same and is familiar with the physical condition thereof. Landlord has not made and does not make any representation as to the physical condition or any other matter affecting or relating to the Demised Premises, except as is in this Lease specifically set forth, and Tenant specifically acknowledges that no such representation has been made, except that Landlord represents, to the best of its knowledge and except as disclosed in the Phase I Environmental Assessment prepared by Environmental Management Services dated June 19, 2000, there are no environmental hazards present within the Demised Premises. Tenant further acknowledges that Landlord has afforded Tenant the opportunity for a full and complete investigation, examination, and inspection of the Demised Premises and Tenant agrees to accept the Demised Premises “as is”, except that Tenant shall replace non-functioning horns, strobes and pullboxes in the Demised Premises, provided, however, Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for the one-half of the cost of replacing non-functioning horns, strobes and pullboxes in the Demised Premises (Landlord reimbursement not to exceed $3,000), subject to Landlord’s receipt and approval of the estimates for such work, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and receipt by Landlord of satisfactory documentation evidencing the payment and lien-free completion of such work.

 

Section 5.02. Landlord or Landlord’s contractor may give Tenant notice that the Landlord’s Work is substantially complete to the extent that it is practicable for Tenant to enter therein for the performance of work by Tenant necessary to occupy the Demised Premises and open for business, and if such notice shall be given, Tenant shall promptly thereafter commence all work that is necessary to open the Demised Premises for business. Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section, Tenant shall have the right to install its fixtures and equipment during construction, provided Tenant does not interfere with the construction of the Demised Premises or Building, and, further, provided, that insurance meeting the requirements of Section 7.02 is furnished to Landlord prior to any such entry. Such entry into the Demised Premises by Tenant prior to the Commencement Date is and shall be at the Tenant’s sole cost and risk, and the provisions of Section 7.01 and Section 7.02 shall be applicable during any such period prior to the Commencement Date. Prior to commencing any work, Tenant shall give Landlord prior written notice of the date on which Tenant intends to commence such work, which notice shall describe the type of labor (i.e. union or non-union labor) Tenant intends to hire for its work. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Landlord may require Tenant to use union labor for all work performed in the Demised Premises, the Building and/or in the Center if, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, the use of non-union labor would delay or interfere with the progress of any construction within the Building and/or Center and/or the operation of any business in the Building and/or Center. In the event that Landlord does not initially require Tenant to use union labor and a labor dispute subsequently arises due to Tenant’s use of non-union labor, then Tenant shall, within twenty-four (24) hours following notice from Landlord (which may be oral or written), cause each conflicting labor to leave the Demised Premises, the Building and Center, and thereafter Tenant shall prosecute its work only with local union labor. All fixturing and/or other work to be performed by or on behalf of Tenant (other than Landlord’s work hereunder) shall be done in accordance with plans and specifications therefor submitted to and approved by Landlord prior to the commencement of such fixturing and/or other work, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, and in accordance with and subject to the provisions of Article 19 hereof. No changes shall be made in said plans and specifications nor shall there be any deviation in the prosecution of the work in accordance with said plans and specifications without Landlord’s prior written approval.

 

Section 5.03. If Tenant claims that some or all of the construction requirements imposed upon Landlord pursuant to the provisions of this Lease have not been complied with by Landlord upon delivery of notice of substantial completion of Landlord’s Work, as provided herein, Tenant shall, within ten (10) days of said date (or ten days following the date Tenant opens for the transaction of business, whichever date is sooner), submit to Landlord a written list of the work Tenant claims remains to be performed by Landlord, and Landlord shall have ninety (90) days thereafter to complete such work. If Landlord fails to complete such work, the sole remedy of

Tenant shall be to complete such work and Tenant shall have the right to set off the cost thereof from the rent due Landlord in order to reimburse Tenant for the cost and expense of completion of the work. Upon written request of Landlord, Tenant will, within five (5) days following request (but not sooner than the date required by the first sentence of this Section), furnish to Landlord a written statement that Tenant is in occupancy of the Demised Premises, that the construction of the Demised Premises has been completed in accordance with Landlord’s obligations or in lieu thereof, a list of the work Tenant claims to be incomplete. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the aforesaid time period shall not be applicable to latent defects in the Landlord’s Work for which notice may be given to Landlord promptly following the date upon which Tenant discovers, or reasonably could have discovered, any such latent defects. Landlord agrees to assign to Tenant all warranties relating to the Landlord’s Work, provided, however, the Landlord reserves the right to enforce same, jointly with, or independently of Tenant.

 

Section 5.04. Landlord shall substantially complete the construction of the Landlord’s Work on or prior to that date which is one hundred twenty (120) days following the date of issuance of a building permit for the Landlord’s Work to be performed at the Demised Premises.

 

If possession of the substantially completed Demised Premises shall not be delivered to Tenant on or prior to such date, Tenant shall have the right to cancel this Lease upon notice to Landlord to be given within fifteen (15) days following such date, unless the substantially completed Demised Premises shall be delivered to Tenant prior thereto. If Tenant shall not exercise such right of cancellation, the date by which Landlord is obligated to deliver possession of the Demised Premises shall be deemed to be automatically extended for an additional period of ninety (90) days. If possession of the substantially completed Demised Premises is not delivered to Tenant prior to the expiration of such extension period, or if Tenant shall cancel this Lease pursuant to the first sentence of this paragraph, this Lease shall automatically terminate and be null and void and of no further force and effect, and the parties shall be mutually released of and from all rights and obligations hereunder. Tenant’s right to cancel this Lease, as provided herein, shall be Tenant’s sole remedy for Landlord’s failure to deliver possession on or before the required date.

 

If the substantial completion of the Landlord’s Work is delayed by reason of: (i) any act or omission of Tenant or any of its employees, agents or contractors; or (ii) any failure (not due to any act or omission of Landlord or any of its employees, agents or contractors) to plan or execute Tenant’s work necessary for Tenant’s occupancy of the Demised Premises with reasonable speed and diligence, or (iii) any changes by Tenant in the plans or specifications for the construction of the Demised Premises or any changes or substitutions requested by Tenant; or (iv) Tenant’s failure to furnish plans and specifications required to be furnished by Tenant, or subsequent changes thereto; or (v) Tenant’s request for materials, finishes or installations other than Landlord’s typical building standard; or (vi) the performance or incompletion of work by a party employed or retained by Tenant; then the Landlord’s Work shall be deemed substantially completed on the date when the same would have been substantially completed but for such delay and, in addition, Tenant shall pay to Landlord all costs and damages which Landlord may sustain by reason of such delay.

 

Section 5.05. (A) Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, subject to the Tenant Allowance (as hereinafter defined), shall perform all work necessary to renovate, fixture and equip the Demised Premises for Tenant’s use in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.01 of this Lease (the “Tenant Improvements”). Tenant covenants and agrees that Tenant shall commence the performance of the Tenant Improvements within fifteen (15) days following the issuance of a building permit, and thereafter Tenant shall diligently prosecute such Tenant Improvements and complete same as soon as possible, but in no event more than three (3) months from and after the date that the building permit shall have been issued (“Tenant Improvement Completion Date”). Tenant agrees to apply for the building permit immediately following Tenant’s receipt of notice from Landlord that Landlord has approved the plans and specifications for the performance of the Tenant Improvements.

Allowance”). Such reimbursement shall be in the form of a credit to be taken by Tenant against the first payments of annual minimum rental payable hereunder. The portion of the Tenant Improvements for which the Tenant Allowance shall be paid shall be only that portion thereof that is office installation work (e.g. partitioning, doors, electrical, etc., including, without limitation, upgrading and replacing of existing mechanical systems in the Demised Premises) and in no event shall the Tenant Allowance be used for any work related to Tenant’s trade fixtures or equipment (such portion of the Tenant Improvements for which Tenant may receive the Tenant Allowance is hereinafter called the “Tenant Allowance Work”). Supplementing the foregoing, Landlord acknowledges and agrees that the work described in Exhibit E annexed hereto shall be deemed to be Tenant Allowance Work. Pending the completion of the Tenant Allowance Work (which “completion” shall be deemed to include the delivery to Landlord of the documentation required pursuant to Subparagraph (C) of this Section 5.05, the annual minimum rental payable pursuant to Section 3.01 of this Lease shall be abated (the period for which annual minimum rental is abated is referred to herein as the “Rent Concession Period”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, in the event that the Tenant Improvements have not been completed and the documentation required pursuant to Subparagraph (C) of this Section 5.05 have not been delivered to Landlord on or before the Tenant Improvement Completion Date, Tenant shall make immediate payment to Landlord of any monthly minimum rental payments that have been abated during the Rent Concession Period, the Rent Commencement Date shall be deemed to be the Commencement Date of this Lease and Tenant will immediately commence payment of annual minimum rental amounts as set forth in 3.01. Landlord shall be entitled to draw upon the letter of credit for the purpose of collecting such unpaid minimum rental payments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the completion of the Tenant Improvements and the delivery to Landlord of the documentation required pursuant to Subparagraph (C) of this Section 5.05 has not occurred by the Tenant Improvement Completion Date by reason of the causes set forth in Section 5.06 below, then the Tenant Improvement Completion Date shall be extended for such period of delay, but in no event shall any such delay extend for more than an additional three (3) months following the Tenant Improvement Completion Date. It is further acknowledged and agreed by Tenant that in the event that the monies expended by Tenant for the completion of the Tenant Allowance Work are less than the amount of the Tenant Allowance, Tenant shall not be entitled to any credit for the unused portion thereof, nor is Tenant entitled to any additional sums from Landlord in the event that the monies expended by Tenant in connection with the completion of the Tenant Allowance Work or the Tenant Improvements exceeds the amount of the Tenant Allowance.

During the progress of the work to be done by Tenant, said work shall be subject to inspection by representatives of Landlord, which shall be permitted access and the opportunity to inspect at all reasonable times, but this provision shall not in any way whatsoever create any obligation on Landlord to conduct an inspection or impose any liability on Landlord for the failure of any such work.

Prior to commencement of any Tenant Work, Tenant or Tenant’s contractor shall furnish to Landlord policies of insurance or certificates thereof evidencing the existence of the insurance coverages required by Section 7.02 hereof, including without limitation comprehensive general liability and builder’s risk insurance.

Section 7.03.

Section 7.05. In the event of any insured loss covered under the terms and conditions of this Lease, and for which Tenant is obligated to maintain insurance coverage, all insurance carriers’ checks in satisfaction of the same shall be made payable to the Landlord and the holder of the first mortgage covering the Building and Tenant waives any and all rights to be designated a payee on such loss payment, except as to losses under the coverage in Section 7.02(d) above.

Notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions of this Article, if Landlord or the holder of any superior mortgage shall be unable to collect all of the insurance proceeds (including rent insurance proceeds) applicable to damage or destruction of the Demised Premises or the Building by fire or other cause, by reason of some action or inaction on the part of the Tenant or any of its employees, agents or contractors, then, without prejudice to any other remedies which may be available against Tenant, the abatement of Tenant’s rents provided for in this Article shall not be effective to the extent of the uncollected insurance proceeds.

 

Section 8.02. If this Lease shall not be terminated as provided above in this Article, Landlord shall, at its expense, proceed with the restoration of the Demised Premises, provided, Landlord’s obligations hereunder shall not exceed the scope of Landlord’s initial construction obligations under this Lease and further provided, that Landlord’s restoration obligations shall be subject to building and zoning laws then in effect.

If so much of the Center, Common Areas or Building shall be so taken or conveyed so that in the reasonable exercise of Landlord’s judgment, the continued operation of the Building for use by its tenants is unfeasible, then, in such event, Landlord may, by notice to Tenant, delivered not later than thirty (30) days following the date that possession of the premises taken or conveyed is delivered to the governmental authority, terminate this Lease, and rent shall be pro rated as of the date that possession must be surrendered to the condemning authority.

 

Section 10.04. Tenant and not Landlord shall be entitled to any portion of the award made to Tenant for the value of Tenant’s removable trade fixtures and equipment other than equipment necessary for the operation of the Building. All compensation awarded for the taking of the Building, the fee and the leasehold shall belong to and be the property of Landlord, and Tenant shall not be entitled to and hereby waives any damages for the unexpired portion of the Term, or injury to its leasehold interest.

ARTICLE 11. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING

 

Section 11.01. Tenant, for itself, its heirs, distributees, executors, administrators, legal representatives, successors and assigns, as the case may be, expressly covenants that it shall not assign, mortgage or encumber this agreement, nor sublet or underlet nor suffer or permit the Demised Premises or any part thereof to be used by others without the prior written consent of Landlord in each instance. If, with consent of Landlord, this Lease may be assigned, or the Demised Premises or any part thereof be underlet or occupied by anybody other than Tenant, Landlord may collect rent from the assignee, undertenant or occupant and apply the amount collected to the rent herein reserved, but no such assignment, underletting, occupancy or collecting shall be deemed to relieve Tenant or any guarantor of this Lease or guarantor of the obligations of Tenant hereunder of any of its or their obligations hereunder nor be deemed a waiver of this covenant, or the acceptance of the assignee, undertenant or occupant as tenant; or a release of Tenant or any guarantor of this Lease or any guarantor of the obligations of Tenant hereunder from its or their obligations under the covenants, provisions and conditions hereof; it being understood and agreed that Tenant and any guarantor of this Lease or any guarantor of the obligations of Tenant hereunder shall at all times, including during any extension term, remain obligated as primary obligors under this Lease. The consent by Landlord to an assignment or underletting shall not in any wise be construed to relieve Tenant or any other Tenant, assignee, undertenant, or occupant of the Demised Premises from obtaining the express consent in writing of Landlord to any further assignment or underletting, and no such assignment or subletting shall be made to anyone who shall occupy the Demised Premises for any use other than as specifically permitted by the terms of this Lease. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to the contrary, in the event that it shall be found by a court of competent jurisdiction that Landlord was unreasonable in withholding its consent to the assignment of this Lease or the subletting of all or any portion of the Demised Premises, Tenant’s sole remedy shall be limited to specific performance and Tenant shall not be entitled to damages or any other affirmative relief or remedy as a result thereof. In the event of a leveraged buy-out or other take-over of Tenant, Landlord’s consent to an assignment of this Lease or subletting of the Demised Premises to the successor entity shall not be deemed to have been unreasonably withheld if said successor entity shall not have a net worth (in the event of a corporate entity, on a market value basis) as certified to by a certified public accountant at least equal to the net worth of Tenant upon the date of execution of this Lease.

 

Section 11.02. Supplementing the provisions of Section 11.01 of this Lease, provided Tenant is not in default under any of the terms, covenants, conditions and provisions of the Lease, Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold or delay or condition its consent to any proposed assignment of this Lease, or subletting of all or any portion(s) of Demised Premises. Any assignment or transfer of this Lease and any subletting of all or a portion of the Demised Premises shall be subject to Landlord’s prior written consent and subject to the terms of all of the sections of this Article 11 and shall be made only if, and shall not be effective until, the assignee or subtenant shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord a recordable agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to Landlord and counsel for Landlord, whereby the assignee or subtenant shall assume for the benefit of Landlord the obligations and performance of this Lease and agree to be personally bound by and upon all of the covenants, agreements, terms, provisions and conditions hereof on the part of Tenant to be performed or observed, and whereby Tenant (and any guarantor of this Lease or of the Tenant’s obligations hereunder) covenants and agrees to remain liable as a primary obligor for the due performance of all of the covenants, agreements, terms, provisions and conditions of this Lease on the part of Tenant to be performed or observed. In the event of any assignment of this Lease or any subletting of all or any portion of the Demised Premises, the obligations of Tenant and any guarantor of this Lease or any guarantor of the obligations of Tenant under this Lease as a primary obligor shall be unaffected and shall remain in full force and effect.

 

Section 11.03. In the event that Tenant desires to assign this Lease or sublet all or a portion of the Demised Premises, Tenant shall first notify Landlord in writing of its intention, and such notice shall include the information described in the last sentence of Section 11.04 hereof and state the name of the proposed assignee or subtenant, together with its full address and a description of its proposed use (but nothing contained herein shall permit, nor obligate Landlord to permit, a use other than the use permitted by Section 2.01 of this Lease, it being understood that any change in

use shall be subject to Landlord’s consent, which Tenant agrees may, notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, be unreasonably withheld). Tenant shall include therewith such financial information as may be available concerning the proposed assignee or subtenant, including without limitation current updated financial statements (which financial information Tenant, and/or the proposed assignee or subtenant shall supplement on demand if required by Landlord). In addition, Tenant shall simultaneously tender a duplicate original of the instrument of assignment or sublease and a termination and surrender agreement in proper form, reasonably satisfactory to counsel for Landlord (“Surrender Agreement”) executed in and on behalf of Tenant. Thereafter, Landlord shall have sixty (60) days in which to decide whether to accept a surrender of the Demised Premises or to respond to the notification above, it being understood that during such sixty (60) day period Landlord shall have the right to negotiate with such assignee and/or subtenant, without Landlord incurring any obligation whatsoever to Tenant, for all or a portion of the Demised Premises or such other or greater or lesser area of the Center as Landlord shall determine in its sole discretion. In the event that Landlord shall accept the Surrender Agreement, Landlord shall execute the Surrender Agreement and this Lease shall terminate as of the sixtieth day following the day that Landlord received Tenant’s notification (“Surrender Date”), with the same force and effect as if such date were the Expiration Date. Upon the termination of this Lease pursuant hereto, Tenant shall pay all annual minimum rent and additional rent on a pro rata basis for each day prior to the Surrender Date. In the event that any item of additional rent cannot be calculated as of the Surrender Date, Tenant hereby covenants to pay its pro rata share promptly upon being billed therefor and this obligation shall survive the Surrender Date.

 

Section 11.04. Tenant hereby covenants and agrees to tender to Landlord upon receipt fifty (50%) percent of any annual minimum rent or additional rent or lump sum or installment payment or sum which Tenant shall receive from or on behalf of any assignee(s) or subtenant(s) or any occupant by, through or under Tenant, which is in excess of the annual minimum rent or additional rent payable by Tenant in accordance with the provisions of this Lease (or in the event of a subletting of less than the whole of the Demised Premises, the annual minimum rent or additional rent allocable to that portion of the Demised Premises affected by such sublease) less the actual bona-fide expenses paid by Tenant in connection with such subletting or assignment (e.g. cost of alterations, and brokerage, legal and architectural and engineering fees). At the time of submission of the proposed assignment or sublease to Landlord, Tenant shall certify to Landlord in writing whether or not the assignee or subtenant has agreed to pay any such monies to Tenant or any designee of Tenant other than as specified and set forth in such instruments, and if so Tenant shall certify the amounts and time of payment thereof in reasonable detail.

 

Section 11.05. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article, Tenant may assign this Lease or sublet any portion of the Demised Premises at any time during the term of this lease, without obtaining Landlord’s consent, upon Tenant giving Landlord prior written notice, to (a) another corporation succeeding to substantially all of the assets of Tenant as a result of a consolidation or merger or to a corporation to which all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant have been sold; (b) a wholly-owned subsidiary corporation; or (c) an affiliated corporation (defined as any corporation whose majority of shares are owned or controlled by the same persons owning or controlling the majority of shares of Tenant); provided: (i) documentation in compliance with Section 11.02 above shall be delivered to Landlord prior to the effective date of such assignment or sublease, and (ii) Tenant shall remain primarily liable under all terms and conditions of this Lease (unless Tenant’s corporate existence ends as a matter of law pursuant to such consolidation or merger).

 

ARTICLE 12. COMMON AREA MAINTENANCE

 

Section 12.01. As used in this Lease, the term “Common Area Operating Costs” shall include the total cost and expense incurred by Landlord in operating, lighting, striping, maintaining, cleaning, landscaping, repairing (including replacement and resurfacing) managing, signing, equipping and insuring the Common Areas within Lot Nos. 46.24 and 46.25 plus ten (10%) percent of the foregoing costs to cover Landlord’s administrative and overhead costs. Such costs and

expenses shall include, without limitation (including appropriate reserves): cleaning; fire and police protection and general security (Landlord not incurring or assuming any obligation to provide such protection or security or any liability for the failure of the same); repairing and replacing paving; keeping the Common Areas supervised, drained, reasonably free of snow, ice, rubbish and other obstructions, and in a neat, clean, orderly and sanitary condition; the charges for rubbish containers and removal (except that at Landlord’s option, Tenant shall be directly responsible for contracting for and for providing (subject to Landlord’s approval of the provisions and conditions of the agreement therefor) rubbish containers and removal); the maintenance of any and all fire protection systems servicing Lot Nos. 46.24 and 46.25; the cost of public liability insurance; keeping the Common Areas suitably lighted; maintaining signs (other than Tenant’s signs), markers, painted lines delineating parking spaces, and other means and methods of pedestrian and vehicular traffic control; constructing, maintaining and repairing of onsite and offsite traffic controls; maintaining adequate roadways, entrances and exits; maintaining any plantings and landscaped areas; Lot Nos. 46.24 and 46.25 management fees incurred by Landlord, including management fees payable to parties or entities owned or controlled by Landlord or any of them; maintenance and repair of all utilities, utility conduits and storm drainage systems situated within or servicing Lot Nos. 46.24 and 46.25; fees for required licenses and permits; and depreciation of machinery and equipment used in the operation and maintenance of the Common Areas and personal property taxes and other charges incurred in connection with such equipment. The term “Common Areas” shall be defined as all paved areas, driveways, truckways, walkways, and landscaped and planted areas within Lot Nos. 46.24 and 46.25. Landlord shall maintain, light, clean and repair (including snow removal) the Common Areas so that such Common Areas may be used for their intended purposes, and in order to enable Landlord to perform its obligations as aforesaid, Landlord may incur such Common Area Operating Costs as Landlord, in its sole discretion, may determine, in the performance of Landlord’s obligations hereunder to maintain the Common Areas.

 

Section 12.02. During the initial term of this Lease and during any extension term hereof, Tenant shall pay Landlord Tenant’s proportionate share of Common Area Operating Costs incurred or expended by Landlord as aforesaid. Such payment shall be made to Landlord in monthly installments on or before the first day of each calendar month, in advance, in an amount estimated by Landlord. Following the expiration of each calendar year during the Term hereof, Landlord shall furnish Tenant with a written statement of the actual amount of Tenant’s proportionate share of the Common Area Operating Costs for such year. If the total amount paid by Tenant under this section for any calendar year during the Term shall be less than the actual amount due from Tenant for such year, as shown on such statement, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the difference between the amount paid by Tenant and the actual amount due, such deficiency to be paid within ten (10) days after demand therefor by Landlord; and if the total amount paid by Tenant hereunder for any such calendar year shall exceed such actual amount due from Tenant for such calendar year, such excess shall promptly be applied by Landlord to the next accruing monthly installments of Tenant’s proportionate share of Common Area Operating Costs or, at Landlord’s option, to any other charges payable by Tenant. For the calendar years in which this Lease commences and terminates, the provisions of this section shall apply, and Tenant’s liability for its proportionate share of any Common Area Operating Costs for such years shall be subject to a pro rata adjustment based on the number of days of said calendar years during the Term. Prior to or at the commencement of the Term and from time to time thereafter throughout the Term, Landlord will notify Tenant in writing of Landlord’s estimate of Tenant’s monthly installments due hereunder. Landlord shall have the right to make special assessments from time to time for extraordinary Common Area Operating Costs and Tenant shall pay any such special assessment within ten (10) days following Landlord’s billing therefor. Extraordinary Common Area Operating Costs shall include, without limitation, any charge not anticipated by Landlord in determining Landlord’s estimate of Tenant’s proportionate share of Common Area Operating Costs for the year in question and any charges, costs and expenses incurred by Landlord which might cause the amounts paid by Tenant pursuant to Landlord’s estimate of Tenant’s proportionate share of Common Area Operating Costs for the year in question to be less than the amount actually due from Tenant for such year pursuant to this Section 12.02. Tenant’s obligations under this section shall survive the expiration of the Term. Tenant’s proportionate share of Common Area Operating Costs shall be a fraction, having as its numerator, the number of square feet of floor area within the Demised Premises and as its denominator, the total number of square feet of floor area of all buildings within Lot Nos. 46.24 and 46.25 or, at Landlord’s option, the

portion thereof affected by such cost, including the Demised Premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article, in the event the obligations of Tenant under this Article 12 are specifically identifiable separate charges relating to Tenant and/or the Demised Premises, then, and in such event, the obligations of Tenant under this Article 12 may, at Landlord’s option, be measured and payable in accordance with such separate and specifically identifiable charge and not by the provisions of the preceding sentence.

 

Section 12.03. Tenant, its concessionaires, officers, employees, and agents may use the Common Areas, subject to such reasonable rules and regulations as Landlord may from time to time impose, including the designation of specific areas in which vehicles owned or operated by Tenant, its concessionaires, officers, employees and agents must be parked. Tenant shall abide by such rules and regulations and cause its concessionaires, officers, employees, agents, customers and invitees to conform thereto. Landlord may, at any time, close temporarily any Common Areas to make repairs or changes therein or to effect construction repairs or changes within Lot Nos.46.24 and 46.25, and Landlord may do such other acts in and to the Common Areas as in its reasonable judgment may be desirable to improve the convenience thereof. In the event that any such temporary closures of the Common Areas shall exceed two (2) business days, Landlord shall use diligent efforts to arrange for appropriate alternate parking for Tenant.

 

Section 12.04. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, Landlord hereby reserves the right (and Tenant hereby consents thereto) to construct or permit the construction, use and maintenance within the Common Areas of Lot Nos. 46.24 and 46.25 including without limitation, the parking areas, of various commercial type buildings, structures, and appurtenances, and equipment incidental thereto, subject, however, to the provisions of the last sentence of Section 1.01(b).

 

ARTICLE 13. UTILITIES

 

Section 13.01. Tenant shall pay, as and when they shall be due and payable, all water charges, taxes, water rates and/or meter charges, sprinkler charges (standby or otherwise), sewer taxes, sewer charges, sewer fees, and sewer rental taxes and charges for utilities, including, without limitation, the charges for gas, electricity, and other utilities furnished to Tenant and consumed in the Demised Premises. Tenant shall heat the Demised Premises whenever the weather shall require. If Landlord, or any property of Landlord, shall be held responsible for any expense covered by this Article, Tenant shall pay Landlord the amount thereof within five (5) days following written request. Landlord shall not be responsible to Tenant for any failure or interruption of any such services, irrespective of the cause thereof, except the negligence or misconduct of Landlord, or Landlord’s employees agents, or contractors.

 

ARTICLE 14. TAXES

 

Section 14.01. (a) Subject to the reimbursement obligations of Tenant hereinafter set forth, Landlord shall pay during the Term of this Lease, all real estate taxes assessed or imposed upon or respecting the land and improvements within and upon Lot No. 46.24. The term “real estate taxes” for purposes of this Lease shall exclude income, franchise, estate or inheritance taxes levied against Landlord or taxes based upon rental receipts, but shall include any taxes levied in lieu of or as a substitute for real estate taxes. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as additional rent, at the time and in the manner set forth in Section 14.01 (b), Tenant’s proportionate share of such taxes, which proportionate share shall be a fraction having as its numerator the number of square feet of floor area within the Demised Premises and as its denominator, the total number of square feet of floor area of all buildings within Lot 46.24. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the improvements within the Demised Premises and/or the balance of the improvements or any part thereof upon Lot No. 46.24 shall receive a separate assessment based upon the certification of the Tax Assessor, then the taxes payable by Tenant for such improvements may, at Landlord’s option, be based thereon.

Section 14.01. (b) All amounts payable by Tenant pursuant to this Article shall be paid to Landlord in monthly installments on or before the first day of each calendar month, in advance, in an amount estimated by Landlord; provided, that in the event Landlord is required under any mortgage encumbering Lot No. 46.24 to escrow real estate taxes, Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, use the amount required to be so escrowed as a basis for its estimate of the monthly installments due from Tenant hereunder. As soon as shall be reasonably practicable following the expiration of each calendar year during the Term, Landlord shall furnish Tenant with a written statement of the actual amount of Tenant’s share of the taxes for such year. If the total amount paid by Tenant under this Section for any calendar year during the Term shall be less than the actual amount due from Tenant for such year, as shown on such statement, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the difference between the amount paid by Tenant and the actual amount due, such deficiency to be paid within ten (10) days after demand therefor by Landlord; and if the total amount paid by Tenant hereunder for any such calendar year shall exceed such actual amount due from Tenant for such calendar year, such excess shall be applied by Landlord to the next accruing monthly installments of taxes due from Tenant or, at Landlord’s option, to any other charges payable by Tenant. For the calendar years in which this Lease commences and terminates the provisions of this Section shall apply, and Tenant’s liability for its share of taxes for such years shall be subject to a pro rata adjustment based on the number of days of said calendar years during the Term. Prior to or at the commencement of the Term and from time to time thereafter throughout the Term, Landlord may notify Tenant in writing of Landlord’s estimate of Tenant’s monthly installments due hereunder. Landlord shall have the right to make special assessments from time to time for extraordinary real estate taxes and Tenant shall pay any such special assessment within ten (10) days following Landlord’s billing therefor. Extraordinary real estate taxes shall include, without limitation, any charge not anticipated by Landlord in determining Landlord’s estimate of Tenant’s proportionate share of real estate taxes for the year in question and any real estate taxes incurred by Landlord which might cause the amounts paid by Tenant pursuant to Landlord’s estimate of Tenant’s proportionate share of real estate taxes for the year in question to be less than the amount actually due from Tenant for such year pursuant to this Section 14.01(b). Tenant’s obligations under this Section shall survive the expiration of the Term.

 

Section 14.02. Tenant shall be liable for all taxes on or against property and trade fixtures and equipment placed by Tenant in or about the Demised Premises, and all taxes on Tenant’s right to occupy the Demised Premises. If any such taxes are levied against Landlord or Landlord’s property, and if Landlord pays same, or if the assessed valuation of Landlord’s property is increased by the inclusion therein of a value placed upon such property, and if the Landlord pays the taxes based on such increased assessment, Tenant, upon demand, shall repay to Landlord the taxes so paid by Landlord or the portion of such taxes resulting from such increase in assessment.

 

ARTICLE 15. REMEDIES OF LANDLORD

 

Section 15.01. (a) If Tenant shall default in the payment of the annual minimum rental reserved herein, or in the payment of any item of additional rent or other monies due hereunder, or any part of same, and any such default shall continue for more than five (5) days after written notice of such default; or

 

Section 15.01. (b) If Tenant shall default in the observance of any of the provisions, covenants and conditions of this Lease (other than a default covered by subsection (a) above and other than sections hereof which provide a specific period or date for performance), and such default shall continue for more than twenty (20) days after written notice of such default, or for such other period provided in the relevant section hereof provided, however, that Tenant shall not be in default if Tenant commences to cure such default within said twenty (20) day period and thereafter diligently pursues said cure; or

 

Section 15.01. (c) If Tenant shall fail to occupy the Demised Premises and open for business at the commencement of the Term of this Lease, as above provided, or if the Demised Premises shall be abandoned, deserted or vacated for a period exceeding three (3) consecutive months, or if Tenant shall sublet the Demised Premises or assign this Lease, except as herein provided, or if Tenant shall

Section 15.01. (d) If Tenant or any guarantor of Tenant’s obligations hereunder shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or if any such party shall file or have filed against it a petition in bankruptcy, or be adjudicated a bankrupt by any court and such adjudication shall not be vacated within thirty (30) days, or if Tenant or any guarantor of Tenant’s obligations hereunder takes the benefit of any insolvency act, or if Tenant or any guarantor of Tenant’s obligations hereunder be dissolved voluntarily or involuntarily or have a receiver of its property appointed in any proceedings other than bankruptcy proceedings and such appointment shall not be vacated within thirty (30) days after it has been made, or if any levy, sale or execution of any kind is made upon or of any property of Tenant in the Demised Premises; or

 

Section 15.01. (e) If, within any period of three hundred and sixty-five consecutive days: (i) Tenant shall default (the “First Default”) in any of its obligations under this Lease and notice thereof shall be given to Tenant as provided above; and (ii) Tenant shall default under this Lease for a second time (the “Second Default”) (notwithstanding that Tenant may have cured the First Default) and notice thereof shall be given to Tenant as provided above, and (iii) Tenant shall default under this Lease for a third time (the “Third Default”) (notwithstanding that Tenant may have cured the First Default and/or the Second Default) and notice thereof shall be given to Tenant as provided above, and the First Default, Second Default and Third Default shall be similar (without limiting the definition of the term “similar”, with respect to non-monetary defaults, all monetary defaults shall be deemed to be similar to each other);

 

then, upon the happening of any one or more of the defaults or events specified above, at the option of Landlord: (1) this Lease and the Term hereof shall wholly cease and terminate, with the same force and effect as though such termination was the date of the expiration of the Term of this Lease, and thereupon, or at any time thereafter, Landlord may re-enter said premises either by force, or otherwise, and have possession of the same and/or may recover possession thereof by summary proceeding, or otherwise (but Tenant shall remain liable to Landlord as hereinafter provided); or (2) Landlord may, without further notice, exercise any remedy available at law or in equity.

 

Section 15.02. In case of any default, event, re-entry, expiration, termination and/or dispossession by summary proceedings, or otherwise, Tenant shall, nevertheless, remain and continue liable to Landlord in a sum equal to all annual minimum rental and additional rent herein reserved for the balance of the Term herein demised as the same may become due and payable pursuant to the provisions of this Lease. Landlord may repair or alter the Demised Premises in such manner as to Landlord may seem necessary or advisable, and/or let or relet the Demised Premises and any and all parts thereof for the whole or any part of the remainder of the original Term hereof or for a longer period, in Landlord’s name, or as the agent of Tenant, and, out of any rent so collected or received, Landlord shall, first, pay to itself, the expense and cost of retaking, repossessing, repairing and/or altering the Demised Premises, and the expense of removing all persons and property therefrom, second, pay to itself, any cost or expense sustained in securing any new tenant or tenants, and third, pay to itself, any balance remaining on account of the liability of Tenant to Landlord for the sum equal to the annual minimum rental and additional rent reserved herein and unpaid by Tenant for the remainder of the Term herein demised. Any entry or re-entry by Landlord, whether had or taken under summary proceedings or otherwise, shall not absolve or discharge Tenant from liability hereunder.

 

Section 15.03. Should any rent so collected by Landlord after the payment aforesaid be insufficient fully to pay to Landlord a sum equal to all annual minimum rental and additional rent herein reserved, the balance or deficiency shall be paid by Tenant on the rent days herein specified; that is, upon each of such rent days Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount of the deficiency then existing and Tenant shall be and remain liable for any such deficiency, and the right of Landlord to recover from Tenant the amount thereof, or a sum equal to the amount of all annual minimum rental and additional rent herein reserved if there shall be no reletting, shall survive the issuance of any dispossessory warrant or other termination hereof.

Section 15.04. Suit or suits for the recovery of such deficiency or damage, or for a sum equal to any installment or installments of annual minimum rental or additional rent hereunder, may be brought by Landlord from time to time at Landlord’s election, and nothing herein contained shall be deemed to require Landlord to await the date on which this Lease or the Term hereof would have expired by limitation had there been no such default by Tenant or no such termination or cancellation.

 

Section 15.05. Tenant hereby expressly waives service of any notice of intention to re-enter subsequent to the giving of the aforesaid notices under Section 15.01 above. Tenant hereby expressly waives any and all right to recover or regain possession of the Demised Premises or to reinstate or to redeem this tenancy or this Lease as is permitted or provided by or under any statute, law, or decision now or hereafter in force and effect.

 

Section 15.06. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord, within five (5) days following written demand, for any reasonable counsel fees or collection charges actually incurred or expended by Landlord by reason of Tenant’s default in the performance of any provision, covenant, or condition of this Lease and any such amounts, at the option of Landlord, may be recovered in the same action or proceeding forming the basis of the default or in another action or proceeding.

 

Section 15.07. Notwithstanding any other remedy provided for hereunder and without the requirement of notice, except as provided in this Section, if Tenant shall not comply with any of its obligations hereunder, Landlord shall have the right, at Landlord’s sole option, at anytime in the event of an emergency or otherwise after ten (10) days notice to Tenant, to cure such breach at Tenant’s expense. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord, within ten (10) days following demand, as additional rent, for all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in curing such breach, together with interest computed thereon at the rate of eighteen (18%) percent per annum or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever shall be the lesser.

 

Section 15.08. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, if Tenant fails to pay any rent, additional rent or any other money item due hereunder within thirty (30) days after same are due and payable, Landlord shall have the right (in addition to any other rights or remedies of Landlord and without the requirement of any notice) to commence immediate legal proceedings or action for dispossession and damages or Landlord may avail itself of any other remedies at law or in equity and include in such action or proceeding any amounts then due and payable as of the date of the commencement of such action or proceeding. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease, if Tenant fails to pay any monetary items due hereunder on the date on which the same are due and payable, a late charge of four ($.04) cents for each ONE ($1.00) DOLLAR so overdue shall become immediately due and payable to the Landlord as damages for failure to make prompt payment and the same shall be considered as additional rent hereunder payable together with the next installment of monthly rent. In addition, all such unpaid monetary items shall bear interest at the maximum rate permitted by law from the date such monies were due until the date on which Landlord shall receive payment.

 

Section 15.09. The rights and remedies whether herein or elsewhere provided in this Lease shall be cumulative and the exercise of any one right or remedy shall not preclude the exercise of or act as a waiver of any other right or remedy of Landlord hereunder, or which may be existing at law, or in equity, by statute or otherwise.

 

Section 15.10. Tenant covenants and agrees to give any mortgagee and/or ground lessor of the Center or any portion thereof notice of any default by Landlord under this Lease and such mortgagee and/or ground lessor shall be afforded the right (but shall not have the obligation) to cure any default by Landlord within such reasonable period of time as may be required by such mortgagee and/or ground lessor.

If Landlord, or any successor in interest to Landlord, shall be an individual, joint venture, tenancy-in-common, trustee, trust, estate, executor, conservator, personal representative, limited liability company, limited liability partnership, partnership, general or limited, firm, company or corporation, there shall be no personal liability on the part of such individual, trustee, executor, conservator or personal representative or on the part of any members, managers, partners, directors, officers and/or shareholders of such joint venture, tenancy-in-common, trustee, trust, estate, executor, conservator, personal representative, limited liability company, limited liability partnership, partnership, general or limited, firm, company or corporation or on the part of such joint venture, tenancy-in-common, trustee, trust, estate, executor, personal representative, limited liability company, limited liability partnership, partnership, general or limited, firm, company, or corporation as to any of the provisions, covenants or conditions of this Lease, Tenant hereby acknowledges that it shall look solely to the real property interest of Landlord in Lot No. 46.24 (or, in the event of a subdivision of said Lot, such subdivided portion thereof which includes the Demised Premises) for the satisfaction or assertion of any claims, rights and remedies of Tenant against Landlord, in the event of breach by Landlord of any of the terms, provisions, covenants or conditions of this Lease.

 

ARTICLE 39. SECURITY

 

Section 39.01. Tenant has delivered to Landlord a letter of credit in the amount of TWO HUNDRED SEVENTEEN THOUSAND AND 00/100 ($217,000.00) DOLLARS as security for the faithful performance and observance by Tenant of the terms, provisions, covenants and conditions of this Lease, including without limitation the completion of the Tenant Allowance Work and the Tenant Improvements pursuant to the provisions of Article 5 of this Lease. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that upon completion of the Tenant Improvements and delivery to Landlord of the documentation required pursuant to Subparagraph (C) of Section 5.05 of this Lease, said $217,000.00 Letter of Credit shall be reduced to the amount of $46,110.00, which amount shall thereafter serve as the security deposit under this Lease. At any time during which Landlord shall be holding a letter of credit as the security deposit under this Lease, Tenant shall have the right to substitute a cash deposit for said letter of credit by delivering to Landlord a check in the amount of the letter of credit then being held by the Landlord. Upon receipt and clearance of the funds, Landlord shall return the letter of credit to Tenant for cancellation. Thereafter, all references herein to the security deposit herein shall be deemed to refer to such cash security deposit.

 

Upon delivery of this Lease to Landlord as executed by Tenant, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord an irrevocable, unconditional Letter of Credit from Fleet Bank (or another money center bank reasonably acceptable to Landlord), in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit C in the amount of $217,000.00, which letter of credit shall serve as security for the faithful performance and observance by Tenant of the terms, provisions, covenants and conditions of this Lease. Said letter of credit shall name National Realty & Development Corp. as sole beneficiary and shall expire on the Expiration Date hereof; provided, however, said letter of credit may provide that it will expire prior to the Expiration Date (but in no event prior to the one (l) year anniversary of the Commencement Date) if said letter of credit is renewed by Tenant, without amendment, and evidence of such renewal is delivered to Landlord prior to that date which is thirty (30) days prior to the expiration date thereof. The letter of credit shall provide that partial drawings shall be permitted. If, for any reason, such letter of credit shall expire without National Realty & Development Corp. (as agent of Landlord) having drawn thereon for any reason, including, without limitation, the inadvertent failure to do so by National Realty & Development Corp., then Tenant shall deliver to National Realty & Development Corp. a replacement of such letter of credit or a cash deposit to bring the security deposit required hereunder to the appropriate balance. Said letter of credit shall specifically provide that Landlord and National Realty & Development Corp. will receive not less than forty-five (45) days written notice of the election of the issuing bank to not renew the same. Whether or not Landlord or National Realty & Development Corp. shall receive notice of cancellation or non-renewal of the letter of credit, Tenant shall deliver to National Realty & Development Corp. a replacement of such letter of credit prior to that date which is thirty (30) days prior to the cancellation date, expiration date or non-renewal date of the letter of credit. Tenant’s failure to deliver evidence of the renewal of the letter of credit or a replacement letter of credit as aforesaid shall, in either case, be deemed a default under this Lease, and without further notice,

National Realty & Development Corp. shall be entitled to draw upon the expiring letter of credit in the entire amount thereof.

 

In the event Tenant defaults in respect of any of the provisions, covenants or conditions of this Lease, including, but not limited to, defaults in the payment of annual minimum rent or additional rent, beyond the applicable notice and cure periods provided for herein, or in the event that that Tenant has vacated, abandoned or deserted the performance of the Tenant Improvements or is not diligently pursuing the same to completion or Tenant has failed to pay for the furnishings, installation or construction of Tenant Improvements (including the Tenant Allowance Work) or any portion thereof, or in the event that Tenant has failed to complete the Tenant Improvements by the Tenant Improvements Completion Date, then National Realty & Development Corp. may, on Landlord’s behalf, from time to time draw upon the security deposit and use, apply, or retain the whole or any part thereof to the extent required for the payment of any annual minimum rent (including payment of annual minimum rental previously abated as set forth in Section 5.05 of this Lease) and additional rent or any other sum as to which Tenant is in default or for any sum which Landlord may expend or may be required to expend by reason of Tenant’s default, beyond the applicable notice and cure periods provided herein, in respect of any of the provisions, covenants and conditions of this Lease, including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel fees and other collection charges, or with respect to any damages or deficiency in the re-letting, repairing or altering of the Demised Premises, whether such damages or deficiency accrued before or after summary proceedings or re-entry by Landlord, or in connection with the removal of the Installations (hereinafter defined) (the amount which National Realty & Development Corp. may draw determined as set forth in this sentence is hereinafter referred to as the “default amount”).

 

In the event National Realty & Development Corp. (as agent of Landlord) shall draw upon a letter of credit deposited as a security deposit hereunder and the amount drawn by National Realty & Development Corp. shall be in excess of the default amount, the excess shall be held by in a non-interest-bearing account at a commercial bank or financial institution as a security deposit hereunder to be used for the purposes set forth herein. After the expiration of the Lease, and after delivery of entire possession of the Demised Premises to Landlord, and after applying or retaining any portion of the security required to cure any and all defaults by Tenant under this Lease, the letter of credit and the cash security deposit, if any, then held by Landlord shall be returned to Tenant without interest. If, due to Tenant’s default hereunder, Landlord shall be entitled to apply or retain any portion of said security, Tenant shall, within five (5) days following demand, secure for the sole benefit of Landlord, a new or additional letter of credit naming Tenant as beneficiary and complying with the requirements set forth herein or deliver to Landlord a cash security deposit sufficient to comply with this Section, including the required amount. Tenant shall not assign or encumber the security deposited hereunder and neither Landlord or its successors or assigns shall be bound by any such assignment or encumbrance. In the absence of evidence satisfactory to Landlord of any assignment of the right to receive the security, or the remaining portion thereof, Landlord may return the security to the original tenant regardless of any number of assignments of the Lease itself. In the event of a sale of the Demised Premises or larger premises of which the Demised Premises form a part, Landlord shall have the right to transfer the cash security and the beneficiary rights under any letter of credit to the purchaser who shall hold the same for the benefit of Tenant in accordance with the terms of this Lease, and Landlord and National Realty & Development Corp., after giving notice to Tenant, shall be deemed released by Tenant from all liability for the return of such security and Tenant shall look solely to the new owner for the release or the return thereof. Tenant shall, upon request, deliver confirmation of said transfer of beneficiary rights and a replacement letter of credit naming the transferee as beneficiary if necessary or if requested. Landlord agrees to return any letter of credit it is then holding with respect to this Lease to the issuing bank if required by the issuing bank to receive a replacement letter of credit. No holder of any mortgage upon the Demised Premises or the larger property of which the Demised Premises forms a part shall be responsible in connection with the security deposited hereunder unless such mortgagee shall have in fact received such security or be named beneficiary thereof and acknowledged such receipt or beneficiary status in writing to Tenant. In the event of a foreclosure of the Demised Premises, or the larger property of which the Demised Premises forms a part, Tenant shall, on demand of mortgagee, reissue the letter of credit in compliance with this Section, naming the mortgagee, or such other party as may be designated by mortgagee, as the sole beneficiary. Tenant acknowledges that Tenant is to perform

certain obligations under this Lease prior to the Commencement Date of the term of this Lease and that the security deposit may be applied by Landlord (or by National Realty & Development Corp. on behalf of Landlord) in the event Tenant shall default under any such obligations beyond any applicable notice and cure periods notwithstanding that the Commencement Date may not yet have occurred.

 

ARTICLE 40. EXTENSION OPTION(S)

 

Section 40.01. Tenant shall have the option, provided it is not in default hereunder, to extend the Term for TWO (2) successive additional term of FIVE (5) years each, upon the same terms and conditions as provided herein, except that the annual minimum rental during said extension period shall be as provided below, and except that Tenant shall have no further extension options. Tenant shall give written notice to Landlord not less than twelve (12) months prior to the last day of the prior term of its election to extend the Term hereof, or such option shall be deemed waived. If Tenant shall exercise such extension option(s), the parties will, at the request of either, execute an agreement in form for recording, evidencing such extension. If Tenant shall exercise such extension option(s), all references in this Lease to the Term hereof shall be deemed to mean the term as so extended, except where expressly otherwise provided.

 

Section 40.02. As of the first day of each extension term (“adjustment date”), the annual minimum rental shall be adjusted by multiplying the annual minimum rental payable hereunder during the last Lease Year of the prior Term, times a fraction having as its numerator the “Index” (hereinbelow defined) as of the adjustment date and as its denominator the Index in effect upon the commencement date of the initial term hereof; provided, however, the annual minimum rental payable subsequent to the adjustment date shall not be less than twenty-five (25%) percent greater than the annual minimum rental payable during the last preceding Lease Year of the prior Term.

Section 40.03. The “Index” shall be defined as the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, “Consumer Price Index-All Urban Consumers - (CPI-U) N.Y., N.Y. -Northeastern N.J. (1982-84=100)”. If publication of such Index shall be discontinued, the adjustments in the annual minimum rental provided for in this Lease shall thereafter be computed on the basis of such other official price index as shall be most nearly comparable thereto, and conversion tables, if any, issued upon the promulgation of such other official index, are to be used where applicable in making the computation hereunder.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have hereunto set their hands and seals the day and year first above written.

(j)                                    any right of Tenant to make any claim or receive any proceeds arising out of taking by eminent domain shall be subject and subordinate to the rights of the Mortgagee; and

 

(k)                                 Tenant hereby indemnifies and saves Mortgagee harmless against any claim, damage, liability, costs, penalties or fines which the Mortgagee may suffer as a result of air, land or water pollution caused by Tenant in its use or occupancy or manner of use or occupancy of the Mortgaged Premises or in its storage, handling, possession, transportation and or disposal of any hazardous or toxic substances, waste or materials (including, without limitation, PCB’s or asbestos) within the Mortgaged Premises.

 

2.                                      The Mortgagee hereby agrees:

(b)                                 if the interest of the Mortgagor shall vest in the Mortgagee by reason of foreclosure or any other procedures brought by it, or in any other manner, the Mortgagee and its successors-in-interest shall have the option, but not the obligation to cure any defaults of the Mortgagor, and, upon such vesting, agrees to be bound by all of the undischarged obligations of Mortgagor under the Lease occurring after such foreclosure or other action.

 

3.                                      The Tenant hereby represents and warrants that:

 

(1)                                 the Lease is in full force and effect;

 

(2)                                 neither the Tenant nor, to the best knowledge of the Tenant, the Mortgagor is in default in the performance of or compliance with any provision of the Lease;

 

(c)                                  the Tenant has not received any notice of default or termination of the Lease;

 

(d)                                 the Lease is a complete statement of the agreement of the parties thereto with respect to the leasing of the Leasehold Premises;

 

(e)                                  the Tenant has no option under the Lease to purchase all or any portion of the Mortgaged Premises; and

 

(f)                                   the Tenant is the sole owner of the leasehold estate created thereby.

 

4.                                      The Tenant acknowledges that Mortgagor has executed or will execute an Absolute Assignment of Leases and Rents to the Mortgagee. The Mortgagor hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs the Tenant, upon receipt from the Mortgagee of written notice to do so, to pay all rents and other monies payable by the Tenant under the Lease to or at the direction of the Mortgagee. The Mortgagor irrevocably releases the Tenant from any liability to the Mortgagor for all payments so made, and the Mortgagor agrees to defend, indemnify and hold the Tenant harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, losses, or liabilities asserted by, through, or under the Mortgagor (except by the Mortgagee) for any and all payments so made. The Tenant agrees that upon receipt of such notice it will pay all monies then due and becoming due from the Tenant under the Lease to or at the direction of the Mortgagee notwithstanding any provision of the Lease to the contrary. Such payments shall continue until the Mortgagee directs the Tenant otherwise in writing. The Tenant agrees that neither the Mortgagee’s demanding or receiving any such payments, nor the Mortgagee’s exercising any other right, remedy, privilege, power or immunity granted by the Lease or this Agreement will operate to impose any liability upon the Mortgagee for the performance of any obligation of the Mortgagee under the Lease unless and until the Mortgagee elects otherwise in writing or unless the Mortgagee takes possession of the Mortgaged Premises and assumes the functions of a landlord.

 

5.                                      Any notice, demand or consent hereunder shall be in writing any may be given, sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service that provides a receipt for delivery, sent by facsimile, or mailed by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, addressed, to the Mortgagee at the address set forth on the first page of this Agreement. Any party may designate a new address by notice in writing to the other party. Any notice given in accordance herewith shall be effective upon delivery, sending or deposit in the United States mails in accordance herewith.

 

6.                                      This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of each of parties hereto. The term “Mortgagee” shall include the respective holders from time to time of the Mortgage (as now or hereafter constituted), the term “Mortgagor” shall be synonymous with the term “Landlord” during the term of the Mortgage and the terms “Landlord” and “Tenant” shall include the holder from time to time of the lessor’s interest, and the holder from time to time of the lessee’s interest, respectively, in the Lease.

This FIRST MODIFICATION and EXTENSION OF LEASE (this “Modification”) is made as of the 1st day of December, 2003 (the “Building 200 Premises Commencement Date”) by and between 46.24 ASSOCIATES L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, for the purposes of this Modification, having its office and P.O. Address c/o National Realty & Development Corp., 3 Manhattanville Road, Purchase, New York 10577 (hereinafter referred to as “Landlord”), and PTC THERAPEUTICS, INC, a Delaware corporation, having an office 100 Corporate Court, Middlesex Business Center, South Plainfield, NJ 07080 (hereinafter referred to as “Tenant”).

 

W I T N E S S E T H:

 

WHEREAS, Landlord, and Tenant entered into that certain lease (herein referred to as the “Lease”) dated as of July 11, 2000, as amended by letter agreements dated July 10, 2000 and December 14, 2000, by which Tenant leased from Landlord, and Landlord leased to Tenant, certain premises in building #100 (the “Building”) of the Middlesex Business Center (the “Center”) in the BOROUGH OF SOUTH PLAINFIELD, COUNTY OF MIDDLESEX, and STATE OF NEW JERSEY, which premises consist of approximately 21,700 square feet and are more particularly described in the Lease (such premises are herein referred to as the “Existing Premises”); and

 

WHEREAS, Tenant is currently occupying certain space (the “Additional Premises”), also located in building #100 of the Center, which premises are directly adjacent to the Existing Premises, which Tenant initially occupied pursuant to a Sub-Tenancy Agreement dated June 1, 2001, between Catalyst Communications, Inc. (“Catalyst”) as sublessor, and Tenant as Sublessee. (The Existing Premises, together with the Additional Premises, constitute the total leasable area of the Building, 30,000 square feet,)

 

WHEREAS, Landlord and Tenant now desire to modify the Lease in certain respects;

 

NOW, THEREFORE, for TEN and 00/100 ($10.00) DOLLARS and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1.                                      Tenant hereby leases from Landlord, and Landlord hereby leases to Tenant, for a term commencing on January 1, 2003 (the “Effective Date”) and ending on the Revised Expiration Date (as hereinafter defined) (or that date on which the Lease shall be sooner terminated) approximately 8,300 square feet of floor space in the Building more particularly indicated and described by hatching on the left (\\\) on the plot plan annexed hereto as “Exhibit A” and hereby made a part hereof (such 8,300 square feet of floor space is hereinafter referred to as the “Additional Premises”).

From and after the Effective Date, the plot plan attached to the Lease as Exhibit A thereto shall be deemed deleted from the Lease and the plot plan attached as Exhibit A to this Modification shall be deemed substituted therefore.

 

2.                                      Tenant has examined the Additional Premises and has made a complete inspection of same and is familiar with the physical condition thereof. Landlord has not made and does not make any representation as to the physical condition or any other matter affecting or relating to the Additional Premises, except as is in this Modification specifically set forth, and Tenant specifically acknowledges that no such representation has been made, except that Landlord represents, to its knowledge, without independent investigation, that except as disclosed in the Phase I Environmental Assessment prepared by Environmental Management Services dated June 19th, 2000, there were no environmental hazards present within the Additional Premises prior to Tenant’s occupancy thereof. Tenant further acknowledges that Landlord has afforded Tenant the opportunity for a full and complete investigation, examination, and inspection of the Additional Premises and Tenant accepts the Additional Premises “as is”,

3.                                      Tenant hereby leases from Landlord, and Landlord hereby leases to Tenant, for a term commencing on December 1, 2003 and ending on the Revised Expiration Date (or that date on which the Lease shall be sooner terminated) approximately 11,500 square feet of floor space in the building known as 200 Corporate Court in the Center, which floor space is more particularly indicated and described by cross hatching on the plot plan annexed hereto as “Exhibit A” and hereby made a part hereof (such 11,500 square feet of floor space is hereinafter referred to as the “Building 200 Premises”). From and after December 1, 2003 the Building 200 Premises shall be deemed to be part of the Demised Premises, as if the same was included within the Demised Premises as the same is defined by the Lease (so that from and after the Building 200 Premises Commencement Date the Demised Premises shall consist of approximately 41,500 square feet).

 

4.A.                          Tenant has examined the Building 200 Premises and has made a complete inspection of same and is familiar with the physical condition thereof.

Tenant further acknowledges that Landlord has afforded Tenant the opportunity for a full and complete investigation, examination, and inspection of the Building 200 Premises and Tenant accepts the Building 200 Premises “as is” except as otherwise set forth herein.

 

B.                                    Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, shall pursuant to plans and specifications prepared by Tenant and approved by Landlord and otherwise subject to provisions of the law, including without limitation the provisions of the Lease: (i) perform such work as is needed so that the Building 200 Premises are demised separately from the remainder of the building of which such premises are a part, (ii) install demising walls with respect to the Building 200 Premises in the locations shown on the plan attached hereto as Exhibit A-l which is hereby made a part hereof, (iii) paint such demising walls a color of Tenant’s choosing from Landlord’s standard paint selections, and (iv) separate the utilities currently servicing the Building 200 Premises so that such premises are separately metered and that such meters measure only the consumption for the Building 200 Premises.

 

C.                                    Tenant shall be responsible for performing such work as is needed so that the interior portion of the Additional Premises and Building 200 Premises are compliant with the ADA. Landlord represents that it has performed such work as is needed so that the exterior portion of the Additional Premises and the exterior of the Building 200 Premises are compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act (the “ADA”).

7.                                      Provided that (i) Tenant is in compliance with the provisions of that certain License Agreement dated September 22, 2003 by and between Landlord and Tenant (the “License Agreement”) with respect to Renovations Work, and (ii) Tenant has complied with the provisions of Section 5.05(c) of the Lease as same apply to the Renovations Work pursuant to said License Agreement and (iii) Tenant has completed all work necessary to renovate, fixture and equip the Additional Premises and Building 200 Premises for use in accordance with the provisions of Article 2 of the Lease (the “Additional Tenant Improvements”), and (iv) Tenant complies with the requirements of Section 5.05(C) of the Lease, and provided further that the Lease shall not be terminated prior to the dates Tenant is entitled to such credits, Tenant shall be entitled to a credit of $31,125.00 against the payment of the monthly installments of annual minimum rent due under the Lease for the months of July 2004 and August 2004, and a credit of $31,125.00 against the payment of annual minimum rent due under the Lease for the months of June 2009 and July 2009 (and such credits shall be in lieu of the rent abatement set forth in that certain letter agreement dated December 14, 2000 between Landlord and Tenant.)

 

8.                                      Section 5.05(B) of the Lease is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows:

 

“Subject to completion of the Additional Tenant Improvements in accordance with Tenant’s plans and specifications which shall be approved by Landlord in advance, and the provisions set forth in Section 5.05(C) of the Lease, Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for amounts actually expended by Tenant for a portion of the construction of the Additional Tenant Improvements, in an amount not to exceed the sum of $159,700.00, and for partitioning and installation of separate HVAC systems (the “HVAC Improvements”) in an amount not to exceed $6,000 (both amounts together, the “Tenant Allowance”). Such reimbursement shall be in the form of a credit to be taken by Tenant against the first payments of annual minimum rental payable hereunder which accrue subsequent to the completion of the Additional Tenant Improvements and the HVAC Improvements, which shall be credited starting no earlier than August 31, 2004 until exhausted.

 

The portion of the Additional Tenant Improvements for which the Tenant Allowance shall be paid shall be only that portion thereof that is office installation work (e.g. partitioning, doors, electrical, etc., including, without limitation, upgrading and replacing of existing mechanical systems in the Demised Premises) and in no event shall the Tenant Allowance be used for any work related to Tenant’s trade fixtures or equipment (such portion of the Additional Tenant Improvements for which Tenant may receive the Tenant Allowance is hereinafter called the “Tenant Allowance Work”). It is acknowledged and agreed by Tenant that in the event that the monies expended by Tenant for the completion of the Tenant Allowance Work and the HVAC Improvements are less than the amount of the Tenant Allowance, Tenant shall not be entitled to any credit for the unused portion thereof, nor is Tenant entitled to any additional sums from Landlord in the event that the monies expended by Tenant in connection with the completion of the Tenant Allowance Work, the HVAC Improvements or the Additional Tenant Improvements exceeds the amount of the Tenant Allowance.”

 

9.                                      Tenant and Landlord acknowledge that Tenant has held annual minimum rent and additional rent accruing with respect to the Additional Premises for the period of time from and after January 1, 2003 in escrow pending resolution of the status of the Catalyst Lease and the Catalyst-Sublease (as defined herein). Upon execution of this Modification by Tenant, Tenant shall pay to Landlord annual minimum rent and additional rent for the Additional Premises for the period from January 1, 2003 through the last day of January 2004 in the amount of ONE HUNDRED SIXTEEN THOUSAND NINETY FIVE AND 57/100 ($116,095.57) DOLLARS (which together with rent previously paid by Tenant with respect to the Existing Premises, the Landlord accepts in full satisfaction of the amount owed pursuant to Section 6(B), above, for the period from January 1, 2003 through February 29 , 2004, subject to year end reconciliation for additional rent.). As between Landlord and Tenant, Landlord hereby waives any rights or remedies it may have (either under the Lease, the Catalyst Lease, or the Catalyst Sublease) with

respect to such payments, the underlying rent or costs to which the payments relate, or the timing of such payments.

 

10.                               Landlord represents and warrants, and Tenant acknowledges, that the lease by and between Landlord and Catalyst Communications, Inc. (“Catalyst”) by which Catalyst leased the Additional Premises (the “Catalyst Lease”) was terminated as to the Additional Premises effective as of December 31, 2002 and that, accordingly, that certain sublease by and between Catalyst and Tenant by which Tenant subleased the Additional Premises from Catalyst also terminated as of December 31, 2002 (the “Catalyst Sublease”). In recognition of Tenant’s payments hereunder, Landlord hereby indemnifies and saves harmless Tenant from and against any claims and all loss, cost, liability, damage and/or expense, including but not limited to reasonable counsel’s fees, penalties and fines, incurred in connection with or arising from the payment of annual minimum rent or additional rent from January 1, 2003 forward under the Catalyst Lease or the Catalyst Sublease, Tenant’s good faith efforts to preserve rents on the Additional Premises in an escrow account pending resolution of issues between Landlord and Catalyst, or any other financial issues regarding the payment of rent or additional rent to Landlord by Catalyst or to Catalyst by Tenant,

 

11.                               Article 40 of the Lease is hereby deleted and replaced with the following quoted language:

Section 40.01. Tenant shall have the option, provided it is not in default hereunder, to extend the term of this Lease for ONE (1) successive additional term of FIVE (5) years, from August 1, 2009 through July 31, 2014, upon the same terms and conditions as provided herein, except that the fixed annual rent during said extension period shall be as provided below, and except that Tenant shall have no further extension options. Tenant shall give written notice to Landlord prior to November 1, 2008 of its election to extend the term hereof, or such option shall be deemed waived. If Tenant shall exercise such extension option, the parties will, at the request of either, execute an agreement in form for recording, evidencing such extension. If Tenant shall exercise such extension option, all references in this Lease to the term hereof shall be deemed to mean the term as so extended, except where expressly otherwise provided.

 

Section 40.02. If Tenant shall duly elect to extend the term of this Lease as herein provided, the fixed annual rent payable by Tenant during said extension term shall be FOUR HUNDRED TWENTY NINE THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED TWENTY FIVE AND 00/100 ($429,525.00) DOLLARS per annum- THIRTY FIVE THOUSAND SEVEN HUNDRED NINETY THREE AND 001/000 ($35,793.75) DOLLARS per month.

 

Section 40.03. If at any time Landlord proposes to lease space within the building known as 200 Corporate Court in the Center, or enters into discussions with a potential tenant(s) for some or all of such space, Landlord shall give Tenant notice thereof (the “Start Notice”) in order to provide Tenant with a reasonable right of first negotiation with respect to such additional space upon substantially similar terms and conditions as provided herein, except that the fixed annual rent applicable to such space shall be as negotiated in good faith by the parties. In the event that Landlord and Tenant do not enter into a lease for such space within thirty (30) days of the Start Notice, then Tenant shall, at its expense, within thirty (30) days of Landlord’s request, undertake all actions necessary so that the utilities serving the Building 200 Premises are located solely within the Building 200 Premises, and not-otherwise in Building 200, and shall also take all actions necessary so that no utilities serving the portion of Building 200 not within the Building 200 Premises are located within the Building 200 Premises, such that the Building 200 Premises and the other portions of Building 200 can be used by two (2) (or more) unrelated tenants without any utilities located other than within the particular tenant’s demised premises.”

 

12.                               Tenant covenants, warrants and represents that it has dealt with no broker other than Colliers Houston & Co. respecting this Modification and that no conversations, correspondence or negotiations were had with any broker (except with Colliers Houston & Co.

Landlord shall pay any commissions owing to said Colliers Houston & Co. with respect to this Modification in accordance with separate agreement.

 

13.                               Upon execution of this Modification by Tenant, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord adequate and proper insurance policies with respect to the Additional Premises and the Building 200 Premises including, without limitation, comprehensive general liability insurance in the amounts specified in and in accordance with the provisions of Article 7 of this Lease.

 

14.                               Section 24.01 of the Lease is hereby deleted and replaced with the following quoted language:

 

“Tenant represents that its officer(s) executing tills lease have been duly authorized to do so by formal action of a duly-elected Board of Directors. Until such time as Tenant is a corporation whose shares are regularly and publicly traded on a recognized stock exchange, Tenant shall upon written request provide to Landlord a capitalization table showing ownership (by class and entity) of Tenant’s capital stock prepared or reviewed by a certified public accountant.”

 

Landlord hereby waives any right of termination of the Lease that may have accrued to Landlord pursuant to the former language of Section 24.01 of the Lease.

 

15.                               Except as expressly modified herein, all of the terms and conditions of the Lease shall continue unmodified and in full force and effect. Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meaning given to such terms in the Lease. Obligations under this Agreement shall be deemed obligations under the Lease and that a default hereunder shall constitute a default under the Lease.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have hereunto set their hands and seals as of the day and year first above written.

NOW, THEREFORE, for TEN and 00/100 ($10.00) DOLLARS and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1.             Tenant hereby leases from Landlord, and Landlord hereby leases to Tenant, for a term commencing on January 1, 2007 (the “Effective Date”) and ending on February 29, 2012 (the “Expiration Date”) approximately 18,500 additional square feet of floor space in Building #200 more particularly indicated and described by hatching on the left (\\\) on the plot plan annexed hereto as “Exhibit A” and hereby made a part hereof (such 18,500 square feet of floor space is hereinafter referred to as the “Building #200 Additional Premises” and represents the balance of Building 200 not currently leased to Tenant so that following the Effective Date, the Lease shall demise all of Building #100 and all of Building #200 to Tenant). From and after the Effective Date, the Additional Premises shall be deemed to be part of the Demised Premises, as if the same was included within the Demised Premises as the same is defined by the Lease (so that from and after the Effective Date the Demised Premises shall consist of approximately 60,000 square feet). From and after the Effective Date, the plot plan attached to the Lease as Exhibit A thereto shall be deemed deleted from the Lease and the plot plan attached as Exhibit A to this Modification shall be deemed substituted therefore.

 

2.             Tenant has examined the Building #200 Additional Premises and has made a complete inspection of same and is familiar with the physical condition thereof. Landlord has not made and does not make any representation as to the physical condition or any other matter affecting or relating to the Building #200 Additional Premises, except as is in this Modification specifically set forth, and Tenant specifically acknowledges that no such representation has been made, except that Landlord represents, to its knowledge, without independent investigation, that except as disclosed in the Phase I Environmental Assessment prepared by Environmental Management Services dated June 19th, 2000, there are no environmental hazards present within the Building #200 Additional Premises. Tenant further acknowledges that Landlord has afforded Tenant the opportunity for a full and complete investigation, examination, and inspection of the Building #200 Additional Premises and Tenant accepts the Building #200 Additional Premises “as is”.

“ARTICLE 40. OPTION FOR EXTENSION

 

Section 40.01. Tenant shall have the option, provided it is not in default hereunder, to extend the term of this Lease for ONE (1) successive additional term of FIVE (5) years, from March 1, 2012 through February 28, 2017, upon the same terms and conditions as provided herein, except that the annual minimum rent during said extension period shall be adjusted as provided below, and except that Tenant shall have no further extension options. Tenant shall give written notice to Landlord prior to June 1, 2011 of its election to extend the term hereof, or such option shall be deemed waived. If Tenant shall exercise such extension option, the parties will, at the request of either, execute an agreement in form for recording, evidencing such extension. If Tenant shall exercise such extension option, all references in this Lease to the term hereof shall be deemed to mean the term as so extended, except where expressly otherwise provided.

 

Section 40.02. If Tenant shall duly elect to extend the Term as herein provided, the annual minimum rental payable by Tenant during said extension term shall be SIX HUNDRED SEVENTY SIX THOUSAND EIGHT HUNDRED AND 00/100 ($676,800.00) DOLLARS per annum — FIFTY SIX THOUSAND FOUR HUNDRED AND 00/100 ($56,400.00) DOLLARS per month.

($600,000.00) Dollars (the “Allowance”). Provided that Tenant is not in default of the terms of this Lease, such reimbursement shall be in the form of a credit to be taken by Tenant against the payment of annual minimum rental due and payable (immediately following Tenant’s prior compliance with the requirements of this paragraph) which shall be credited in alternating months against 100% of such alternating monthly payments until exhausted. The Allowance shall only be applied towards approved Improvements in the Buildings or the Demised Premises, and shall not be applied towards Tenant’s equipment, fixtures, inventory or other personal property charges.

 

Tenant shall not be entitled to any additional sums from Landlord in the event that the monies expended by Tenant in connection with the completion of the Improvements exceeds the amount of the Allowance.

 

Upon and after execution of this Modification by Tenant, Tenant shall have full and immediate access to the Building #200 Additional Premises to plan and commence architectural, engineering and construction activities.

 

8.             At any time and from time to time during the Lease term (including any extension), if any space within the building in the Center known as 250 Corporate Court (“Building #250”) is not then leased by Landlord to a third party, Tenant shall have the option (upon written notice to Landlord) to lease any Unit (as defined below) of such space, on the same terms and conditions as those provided herein, except that the fixed monthly rent applicable to such space during each month of its occupancy shall be equal to the number of square feet to be leased times the average monthly rent per square foot payable on the existing spaced leased under this Lease during such month, under Section 3.01 of the Lease as amended hereby. Tenant may only elect to lease a complete “Unit” or “Units” within Building #250. An exhibit showing the current approximate dimension and size of the Units is attached hereto as “Exhibit B”. Tenant acknowledges that the Units depicted on Exhibit B may be changed from time to time by Landlord and that Tenant may only elect to lease a Unit as it exists at the time of its election.

 

9.             If at any time Landlord proposes to lease (including any lease renewal or extension) space within Building #250, or enters into discussions with a potential tenant(s) for some or all of such space, Landlord shall provide Tenant with a reasonable right of first negotiation with respect to such additional space upon substantially similar terms and conditions as provided to such potential tenant. In the event that Tenant does not indicate in writing within five (5) business days that it intends to enter into a Lease with Landlord on the same terms as proposed by the potential tenant, and Landlord and Tenant do not enter into a lease for such space at 250 Corporate Court within thirty (30) days of Landlord’s offer to Tenant, upon the same terms and conditions as offered by said potential tenant, then this right of first negotiation shall be null and void and of no further force and effect with respect to any subsequent rental to such tenant on the terms originally offered by said potential tenant. For avoidance of doubt, such reasonable right of first negotiation shall continue and/or be reinstated, as applicable, for any such space not leased to such tenant on the terms originally offered by said potential tenant.

 

10.          If Tenant leases any space in Building #250 pursuant to Section 8 or 9 of this Modification, then Tenant may at any time elect to improve any of such leased space in Building #250, in accordance with Tenant’s plans and specifications which shall be approved by Landlord in advance pursuant to the terms of the Lease (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), in which case Tenant shall (i) provide Landlord with proof of payment (in the form of copies of paid invoices) to all contractors, laborers, and suppliers involved with the Improvements, (ii) provide Landlord with lien waivers from all contractors, laborers and suppliers involved with the Improvements, and (iii) provide Landlord with a copy of the Certificate of Occupancy or applicable building inspector sign-offs covering the improved portion of the Demised Premises upon completion of the Improvements, along with “as built” plans. In such event, Landlord shall provide Tenant with a rent credit for amounts expended by Tenant for the construction of the Improvements in Building #250, in an amount not to exceed the sum of TWELVE ($12) Dollars per square foot of space so improved (the “Building #250 Allowance”), provided that, the Building #250 Allowance shall be adjusted downward by an amount equal to 20% for each full (but not partial) twelve-month period which has lapsed since the Effective Date. Provided that Tenant is not in default of the terms of this Lease, such reimbursement shall be in the form of a credit to be taken by Tenant against the payment of annual minimum rental due and payable (immediately following Tenant’s prior compliance with

the requirements of this paragraph) which shall be credited in alternating months against 100% of such alternating monthly payments until exhausted. The Building #250 Allowance shall only be applied towards approved Improvements in Building #250, and shall not be applied towards Tenant’s equipment, fixtures, inventory or other personal property charges.

 

Tenant shall not be entitled to any additional sums from Landlord in the event that the monies expended by Tenant in connection with the completion of the Improvements in Building #250 exceed the amount of the Building #250 Allowance.

 

Upon and after the lease by Tenant of any space in Building #250, Tenant shall have full and immediate access to the leased Building #250 premises to plan and commence architectural, engineering and construction activities.

 

11.          Subject to the requirements of local codes and all required municipal approvals, Tenant shall be permitted to construct a connecting building and/or corridor, of no more than 5,000 square feet, to connect 100 Corporate Court and 200 Corporate Court, and shall thereafter be permitted to occupy such connecting building and/or corridor rent free for the life of Tenant’s occupancy of space in Building 100 and Building 200. Prior to having any communication with the local authorities regarding such proposed construction, Tenant shall first submit plans to Landlord for review, approval of which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, provided, however, that such consent shall be subject to the review and approval of any lender then in existence with respect to either building or otherwise encumbering the interest of Landlord or its affiliates in the Center and having any authority to approve or reject such a proposal. Any and all costs associated with such application and construction shall be paid by Tenant. Tenant shall be responsible for any increased taxes (of any type) associated with such construction assessed with regard to periods on or before the Expiration Date (but not any additional income taxes or other taxes payable by Landlord on account of Tenant’s payment of such taxes on Landlord’s behalf). Any approved structure shall be removed by Tenant at the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, at Landlord’s option, and the area in which the structure is constructed shall be returned to the condition it was in prior to said construction. Tenant shall be solely responsible for any maintenance or other costs incurred by Landlord as a result of Tenant’s installation described above during the Term and any Extension Term.

 

12.          Tenant covenants, warrants and represents that it has dealt with no broker other than Colliers Houston & Co. respecting this Modification and that no conversations, correspondence or negotiations were had with any broker (except with Colliers Houston & Co. concerning the negotiation of the Modification) concerning the renting or leasing of the Building 200 Additional Premises.

13.          Within seven (7) days after Tenant’s execution of this Modification, Tenant shall provide Landlord with the sum of $53,890.00 so that the Security held by Landlord pursuant to Article 39 of the Lease shall be $100,000.00.

 

14.          Upon execution of this Modification by Tenant, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord adequate and proper insurance policies with respect to the Building #200 Additional Premises including, without limitation, comprehensive general liability insurance in the amounts specified in Article 7 of this Lease.

 

15.          Except as expressly modified herein, all of the terms and conditions of the Lease shall continue unmodified and in full force and effect. Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meaning given to such terms in the Lease. Obligations under this Agreement shall be deemed obligations under the Lease and that a default hereunder shall constitute a default under the Lease.

Address c/o National Realty & Development Corp., 3 Manhattanville Road, Purchase, New York 10577 (hereinafter referred to as “Landlord”), and PTC THERAPEUTICS, INC. a Delaware corporation, having an office at 100 Corporate Court, Middlesex Business Center, South Plainfield, NJ 07080 (hereinafter referred to as “Tenant”).

 

W I T N E S S E T H:

 

WHEREAS, Landlord and Tenant entered into that certain lease (herein referred to as the “Lease”) dated as of July 11, 2000, as amended by letter agreements dated July 10, 2000 and December 14, 2000, by which Tenant leased from Landlord, and Landlord leased to Tenant, certain premises in building #100 of the Middlesex Business Center (the “Center”) in the BOROUGH OF SOUTH PLAINFIELD, COUNTY OF MIDDLESEX, and STATE OF NEW JERSEY, which premises consist of approximately 21,700 square feet and are more particularly described in the Lease; and

 

WHEREAS, Landlord and Tenant entered into that certain First Modification and Extension of Lease Agreement dated December 1, 2003 whereby the Demised Premises were increased by 8,300 square feet in building #100 (bringing the total leased space in building #100 to 30,000 square feet), as well as adding 11,500 square feet of space located in Building #200, such that the Demised Premises then contained 41,500 square feet; and

 

WHEREAS, Landlord and Tenant entered into that certain Second Modification of Lease Agreement dated October 20, 2006 whereby the Demised Premises were increased by 18,500 square feet in building #200 (bringing the total leased space in building #200 to 30,000 square feet), such that the Demised Premises then contained 60,000 square feet; and

 

WHEREAS, Landlord and Tenant entered into that certain Third Modification of Lease Agreement dated December 31, 2008 (the “Third Modification”) whereby the Demised Premises were increased by 11,171 square feet in building #250 such that the Demised Premises now contain 71,171 square feet.

 

WHEREAS, Landlord and Tenant now desire to modify the Lease in certain respects;

 

NOW, THEREFORE, for TEN and 00/100 ($10.00) DOLLARS and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1.                                      Tenant hereby leases from Landlord, and Landlord hereby leases to Tenant, for a term commencing on July 1, 2010 (the “Effective Date”) and ending on February 29, 2012 (the “Expiration Date”) approximately 11,627 additional square feet of floor space in Building #250 more particularly indicated and described by cross hatching on the plot plan annexed hereto as “Exhibit A” and hereby made a part hereof (such 11,627 square feet of floor space is hereinafter referred to as the “4D Premises”). From and after the Effective Date, the 4D Premises shall be deemed to be part of the Demised Premises, as if the same was included within the Demised Premises as the same is defined by the Lease (so that from and after the Effective Date the Demised Premises shall consist of approximately 82,798 square feet, 22,798 of which are located in separate non contiguous units within Building #250). From and after the Effective Date, the plot plan attached to the Lease as Exhibit A thereto shall be deemed deleted from the Lease and the plot plan attached as Exhibit A to this Modification shall be deemed substituted therefore.

 

2.                                      Tenant has examined the 4D Premises and has made a complete inspection of same and is familiar with the physical condition thereof. Landlord has not made and does not make any representation as to the physical condition or any other matter affecting or relating to the 4D Premises, except as is in this Modification specifically set forth, and Tenant specifically acknowledges that no such representation has been made, except that Landlord represents, to its knowledge, without independent investigation, that except as disclosed in the Phase I

Environmental Assessment prepared by Environmental Management Services dated June 19th, 2000, there are no environmental hazards present within the 4D Premises. Tenant further acknowledges that Landlord has afforded Tenant the opportunity for a full and complete investigation, examination, and inspection of the 4D Premises and Tenant accepts the 4D Premises “as is”, except that Landlord hereby covenants and warrants that the 4D Premises shall be delivered in a similar condition to its condition as of the date of this Modification, subject to normal wear and tear.

 

3.                                      Tenant shall be responsible for performing such work as is needed so that the interior portions of the 4D Premises are compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act (the “ADA”). Landlord represents that it has performed such work as is needed so that the exterior portion of the 4D Premises (including all exterior portions of Building #250 itself) are compliant with the ADA.

 

4.                                      Beginning on the Effective Date, the annual minimum rental payable under Section 3.01 of the Lease, as amended by Section 6 of the First Modification of Lease, Section 4 of the Second Modification of Lease, Section 4 of the Third Modification of Lease, and this Modification, shall be as follows, notwithstanding anything in Section 3.01 of the Lease to the contrary:

5.                                      Effective immediately, Section 40.02 of the Lease (as modified by the First Modification and Extension of Lease, Second Modification of Lease, and Third Modification of Lease) is hereby deleted and replaced with the following quoted language in its entirety.

 

“Section 40.02. If Tenant shall duly elect to extend the Term as herein provided, the annual minimum rental payable by Tenant during said extension term shall be NINE HUNDRED THIRTY THREE THOUSAND NINE HUNDRED SIXTY ONE AND 44/100 ($933,961.44) DOLLARS per annum — SEVENTY SEVEN THOUSAND EIGHT HUNDRED THIRTY AND 12/100 ($77,830.12) DOLLARS per month.”

 

6.                                      For avoidance of doubt, Section 6 of the Third Modification, which relates to tenant improvements and related rental credits, shall continue to apply in accordance with its terms, such that Tenant shall receive a Credit of $4.80 per square foot of space in the 40 Premises.

 

7.

Tenant shall hold Landlord and National Realty & Development Corp. harmless and defend (by counsel satisfactory to Landlord) said parties against any claims for a brokerage commission arising out of any conversations, correspondence or negotiations with any broker except said Colliers Houston & Co. regarding the Lease. Landlord shall pay any commissions owing to said Colliers Houston & Co. with respect to this Modification in accordance with separate agreement

 

8.                                      On or before the Effective Date, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord adequate and proper insurance policies with respect to the 4D Premises including, without limitation, comprehensive general liability insurance in the amounts specified in Article 7 of this Lease.

 

Upon reasonable request from time to time prior to the Effective Date, Tenant shall have reasonable access to the 4D Premises to plan architectural, engineering and construction activities, provided that Tenant’s activities do not interfere with the current tenant’s use and enjoyment of the 4D Premises. No construction activities shall actually be commenced unless and until Landlord’s receipt of insurance certificates as set forth above and delivery of the 4D Premises to Tenant.

WHEREAS, Landlord and Tenant now desire to modify the Lease in certain respects;

 

NOW, THEREFORE, for TEN and 00/100 ($10.00) DOLLARS and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1.                                      The Term of the Lease is hereby extended for a period of SEVEN (7) YEARS [MISSING COPY]

 











 

acknowledges that there is no right to extend the Lease beyond the Expiration Date except as set forth in Section 3, below. The period commencing on March 1, 2012 and ending on the Expiration Date is herein referred to as the “Extended Term”.

 

2.                                      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Lease, the annual minimum rental payable during the Extended Term under Section 3.01 of the Lease, shall be as follows:

3.              Article 40 of the Lease, as amended by the Modifications, is hereby deleted in its entirety and restated herein:

 

“Section 40.01 Tenant shall have the option, provided it is not in default hereunder, to extend the term of this Lease for TWO (2) successive additional terms of five (5) years each, upon the same terms and conditions as provided herein, except that the annual minimum rental during said extension period(s) shall be as provided below, and except that Tenant shall have no further extension options. Tenant shall give written notice to Landlord not less than nine (9) months prior to the last day of the Extended Term, or first extension term, as the case may be, of its election to extend the term hereof, or such option shall be deemed waived. If Tenant shall exercise such extension option, the parties will, at the request of either, execute an agreement in form for recording, evidencing such extension. If Tenant shall exercise such extension option, all references in this Lease to the term hereof shall be deemed to mean the term as so extended, except where expressly otherwise provided.

 

Section 40.02 If Tenant shall duly elect to exercise its option to extend the Term as herein provided, the annual minimum rental payable by Tenant, in the manner provided in Article 3 of the Lease, during said extension term, commencing on the first day of such extension term, shall be the product of ninety-five (95%) percent of the Fair Market Rent (hereinafter defined) for such extension term as determined in accordance with Section 40.03 below times 82,798 square feet (or if the Demised Premises shall have previously been altered and expanded or contracted in accordance with the terms of the Lease, then the then square footage of the Demised Premises).

 

Section 40.03 Tenant shall in the written notice by which Tenant exercises its extension option provided to it in this Article set forth Tenant’s opinion of the Fair Market Rent (such opinion is herein referred to as “Tenant’s FMR”) and the basis therefor, provided, however, that if Tenant shall give Tenant’s Election Notice more than eighteen (18) months in advance of the first day of the extension term, then Tenant shall not set forth Tenant’s FMR in Tenant’s Election Notice, but, rather shall set forth Tenant’s FMR in a written notice given to Landlord no more than twelve (12) months prior to the first day of the extension term and no less than nine (9) months prior to the first day of the extension term. If Tenant shall not timely give Landlord written notice of Tenant’s FMR, and such failure shall continue for more than ten (10) business days following written notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant of Tenant’s failure to provide Landlord with the Tenant’s FMR, then the Fair Market Rent shall promptly be determined solely by Landlord, and then Landlord shall promptly give Tenant written notice of same; provided, however, that Landlord’s sole determination must be both reasonable and in good faith. If Tenant shall timely give Landlord written notice of Tenant’s FMR, then Landlord shall have thirty (30) days after Landlord’s receipt thereof (such thirty (30) day period is herein referred to as “Landlord’s Review Period”) to review the same. Within Landlord’s Review Period Landlord shall provide Tenant with written notice advising Tenant whether or not Landlord accepts [MISSING COPY]

 











 

accepted) Tenant’s FMR, then the Fair Market Rent for the extension term in question shall be Tenant’s FMR.

 

If Landlord shall not accept Tenant’s FMR, then, within Landlord’s Review Period, Landlord shall provide written notice of such non-acceptance to Tenant, together with Landlord’s opinion of the Fair Market Rent (such opinion is herein referred to as “Landlord’s FMR”), together with the reasons therefor. If Landlord shall not timely give Tenant written notice of Landlord’s FMR, and such failure shall continue for more than ten (10) business days following written notice thereof from Tenant to Landlord of Landlord’s failure to provide Tenant with Landlord’s FMR, then the Fair Market Rent shall be deemed to be Tenant’s FMR, provided that Tenant’s FMR has been determined in a reasonable and good faith manner. In the thirty (30) day period following Tenant’s receipt of notice setting forth Landlord’s FMR (such thirty (30) day period is herein referred to as the “Negotiating Period”), the parties shall negotiate, in good faith, to attempt to reach agreement on the Fair Market Rent.

 

If the parties reach agreement as to the Fair Market Rent within the Negotiating Period, then the Fair Market Rent shall be that agreed upon by the parties. If the parties are unable to reach agreement as to the Fair Market Rent within the Negotiating Period, then within ten (10) days of the lapse of the Negotiating Period (such ten (10) day period is herein referred to as the “Party’s Selection Period”) each party shall provide written notice to the other setting forth such party’s then most recent opinion of the Fair Market Rent (such opinion set forth in Tenant’s notice to Landlord is herein referred to as “Tenant’s Final FMR” and such opinion set forth in Landlord’s notice to Tenant is herein referred to as “Landlord’s Final FMR”) together with the name of an arbitrator selected by such party. The two arbitrators so selected shall then together, within fourteen (14) days after the lapse of the Party’s Selection Period, select a third arbitrator (hereinafter referred to as the “third arbitrator”) (and if either party shall fail to select an arbitrator (or fail to provide written notice of such selection to the other party) within the Party’s Selection Period, then the remaining arbitrator shall alone select the third arbitrator). The third arbitrator shall then conduct such independent investigations as the third arbitrator may deem necessary to determine the Fair Market Rent, but the third arbitrator shall not consult with any of the arbitrators chosen by the parties hereto or with the parties hereto and shall not be provided with any of Tenant’s FMR or Tenant’s Final FMR or Landlord’s FMR or Landlord’s Final FMR. Within thirty (30) days of his/her selection as the third arbitrator, the third arbitrator shall give written notice of the third arbitrator’s independent determination of the Fair Market Rent (such determination is herein referred to as the “Blind FMR”) to each of the arbitrators selected by the parties hereto and to each of the parties hereto and the Fair Market Rent for the extension term in question shall be whichever of Tenant’s Final FMR or Landlord’s FMR is closest to the Blind FMR, provided that if Tenant’s Final FMR and: Landlord’s Final FMR shall be equidistant from the Blind FMR, then the Blind FMR shall be the Fair Market Rent for the extension term. Each party hereto shall pay the cost and expenses of the arbitrator selected by it and each party hereto shall be liable for one-half of the costs and expenses of such arbitrator. Each arbitrator, whether selected by a party hereto or by the arbitrators selected by the parties hereto, shall be a licensed real estate broker or MAI real estate appraiser having at least ten (10) year’s experience in the Middlesex County (N.J.) commercial real estate market. The third arbitrator, in addition to the foregoing, shall be independent of the parties hereto and shall not have had any substantial business relationship, and shall not be employed by any entity having had a substantial business relationship, with any of the parties hereto.

 

Section 40.04 The “Fair Market Rent” with respect to the Demised Premises for the extension term shall be defined as the rental value of the Demised Premises as of the first day of the extension term expressed as an amount of money per square foot of the area of the Demised Premises determined as if the Demised Premises were available in the then-current rental market for space that tenants of similar credit standing as Tenant are leasing for non-subleased, non-encumbered, non-equity, office/laboratory space in a comparable building and having amenities  similar to those located on or associated with the Demised Premises (such as on-site parking) for a term of five (5) years which other space is comparable in age, size, location, floor level and quality to the Demised Premises (including, without limitation, a comparable level of finishes

 











 

4.                                      Landlord hereby grants Tenant a non-exclusive revocable (as set forth in this paragraph, or due to Tenant’s uncured breach of the Lease) license to pass through the “Scibal Premises” as shown on Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein in order to pass to and from the “4D Premises” and the “Building 250 Additional Premises” which represent two (2) non-contiguous portions of the Demised Premises. The Scibal Premises shall only be used for convenient interior circulation by Tenant and its employees between these two units, and may not be used for storage, a break or smoking area, loitering, or any other use. If Landlord shall lease the Scibal Premises to another party then Landlord may terminate the license upon notice to Tenant. Prior to Tenant’s use of the license, Tenant shall provide Landlord with evidence that Tenant maintains insurance that satisfies the requirements of the Lease which includes coverage for the Scibal Premises. Tenant’s use of the license area shall be subject to Tenant’s prior installation of lighting for security and safety, following Landlord’s approval of the design and method of installation. Such lighting shall be on at all hours that persons are in the Demised Premises, or shall be activated by motion sensor whenever someone enters the Scibal Premises, but in either case, shall be installed by Tenant at its sole cost and expense and shall be wired to Tenant’s electric account(s). Landlord reserves the right to use the Scibal Premises at any time for storage, to access same at any time for repairs, or to show prospective tenants.

 

As a condition to Tenant’s use of the license through the Scibal Premises, Tenant shall install a door leading from each of the 4D Premises and the Building 250 Additional Premises to the Scibal Premises. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease, Tenant shall remove the doors and restore the adjacent walls to their original condition. Tenant shall secure its new doors with regard to access to/from the Scibal Premises as Tenant sees fit, acknowledging that Landlord has no obligation to ensure the security of the Scibal Premises and Landlord makes no representation or warranty as to the current or future security of the Scibal Premises (and thus the Demised Premises by means of the Scibal Premises).

 

5.                                      Tenant covenants, warrants and represents that it has dealt with no broker other than Cassidy Turley New Jersey, Inc. f/k/a Colliers Houston & Co. respecting this Modification and that no conversations, correspondence or negotiations were had with any broker (except with Cassidy Turley f/k/a Colliers Houston & Co) concerning the renting or leasing of the 4D Premises. Tenant shall hold Landlord and National Realty & Development Corp. harmless and defend (by counsel satisfactory to Landlord) said parties against any claims for a brokerage commission arising out of any conversations, correspondence or negotiations with any broker except said Cassidy Turley f/k/a Colliers Houston & Co. regarding the Lease. Landlord shall pay any commissions owing to said Cassidy Turley f/k/a Colliers Houston & Co. with respect to this Modification in accordance with separate agreement.

 

6.                                      Upon execution of this Modification by Tenant, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord adequate and proper insurance policies with respect to the Demised Premises, as well as the Scibal Premises, including, without limitation, comprehensive general liability insurance in the amounts specified in Article 7 of this Lease.

 

7.                                      Except as expressly modified herein, all of the terms and conditions of the Lease, (including but not limited to §8, §9 and §11 of the 2nd Modification of Lease and §6 of the 3rd Modification of Lease), shall continue unmodified and in full force and effect. Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meaning given to such terms in the Lease. Obligations under this Agreement shall be deemed obligations under the Lease and that a default hereunder shall constitute a default under the Lease.

 

8.                                      The current Landlord shall provide Tenant with written notice of a proposed sale of Building 100 and/or Building 200, and/or Building 250, and any combination of such three buildings which shall not include any other buildings in Middlesex Business Center, at least fourteen (14) days prior to listing the sale with a real estate broker, or if such buildings are not then listed for sale, within fourteen (14) days of receipt of a written offer to purchase.
