procedures, claims and actions of any kind arising out of or in any way

connected with the wrongful or improper use or occupancy of the demised

terms of this lease or arising by reason of any breach of or nonconformance

with any term, condition or covenant of the lease.




56th:       Upon

the reasonable request of either party at any time or from time to time,

Landlord and Tenant agree to execute, acknowledge and deliver to the other,

within 10 days after request, a written instrument duly executed and

acknowledged, (a) certifying that this lease has not been modified and is in

full force and effect, or, if there has been a modification of this lease, that

this lease is in full force and effect as modified, stating such modification;

(b) specifying the dates to which the annual fixed rent and additional rent

have been paid; (c) stating whether or not, to the knowledge of the party

executing such instrument, the other party is in default; and (d) stating the

commencement date of this lease.  Notwithstanding

the foregoing, the 10-day period shall be extended with respect to a request

from Tenant to Landlord in the event Landlord’s response to it shall be delayed

by a mortgagee holding a mortgage on the demised premises.




57th:       If

at any time during the term of this lease a tax or charge be imposed by the

State of New Jersey or the county or municipality in which the premises are

located, pursuant to any future law, which tax or charge shall be based on the

rent paid by Tenant to Landlord, Tenant shall pay Landlord as additional rent,

upon demand of Landlord, such tax or charge. 

The foregoing shall not require payment by Tenant of any income taxes

assessed against Landlord or any capital levy, franchise, estate, succession,

inheritance or transfer taxes due from Landlord.




58th:       Landlord

shall not be liable for failure to give possession of the premises upon the

commencement date of the lease term because the premises are not ready for

occupancy, the prior tenant is wrongfully holding over, any other party is

wrongfully in possession, or for any other reason.  In such event the lease term and rent shall not commence until

possession of the premises is given to or is available for Tenant and the lease

term shall be extended accordingly.




59th:       If

Tenant fails to pay when due, any monthly installments of rent, additional rent

or other sums due from Tenant under the lease, then Tenant shall pay Landlord,

due for the first and second months that the sums remain unpaid, and 1 1⁄2% for

each succeeding month thereafter that the 




 




10





























 




sums due remain unpaid.  The late charge shall be computed from the due date to the date

of payment.




60th:       (a)           It is the intention of the parties

that this commercial lease is a “net lease” and that Landlord shall receive the

rent from Tenant undiminished from all costs, expenses, and obligations, of

every kind, relating to premises, which shall arise or become due during the

lease term, all of which shall be paid by Tenant except as otherwise

specifically provided in this lease and except as to any payment due under any

present or future mortgage placed on premises by Landlord.




(b)           Tenant

covenants to pay Landlord all rent without notice or demand and without

abatement, deduction, or setoff, and irrespective of any claim of Tenant

against Landlord, and this covenant shall be deemed independent of any other

covenants, terms, and conditions of this lease.




(c)           No

payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of any amount less than the full rent

provided in this lease shall be deemed anything other than a payment on account

of the earliest rent due; no endorsement or statement on any check or any

letter accompanying any check or payment of rent shall be deemed an accord and

satisfaction of Landlord; and Landlord may accept any such check or payment

from Tenant without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the balance of

rent or to pursue any other right or remedy provided under this lease or by

law.




61st:        This

agreement shall be governed by, construed, and enforced in accordance with the

laws of the State of New Jersey and this agreement shall be construed as a

“commercial lease.”




62nd:      Tenant

shall look solely to the equity of Landlord in the premises for the

satisfaction or assertion of any rights and remedies of Tenant, if any, against

Landlord, in the event of breach by Landlord of any of the terms, conditions

and covenants of this lease.




63rd:       This

agreement contains all the terms, conditions and covenants made between the

parties and may not be modified, changed or terminated in whole or in part,

orally or in any other manner than by an agreement in writing, signed by all

the parties.  This document contains the

entire agreement and understanding between the parties.  Neither the acceptance of the keys nor any

other act or thing done by Landlord or any agent or employee of Landlord during

the lease term shall be deemed to be an acceptance of a surrender of the

premises, excepting only an agreement in writing signed by Landlord accepting

or agreeing to accept such a surrender.




64th:       Tenant

shall not use or allow the premises to be used for any unlawful purpose, or in

violation of any Certificate of Occupancy affecting the use of all or any part

of the premises, or which may, in law, create a nuisance, public or

private.  Tenant shall not keep or allow

anyone to keep any property on the premises which shall be unlawful or in

violation of any Certificates of Occupancy affecting the use of all or any part

of the premises, or which may, in law, create a nuisance, public or

private.  Tenant shall not leave or

allow anyone else to leave any property on the premises at the expiration or

any sooner termination of this lease, which shall be unlawful or

nuisance, public or private.

and Tenant hereby represent to each other that the only real estate broker

Atlantic Real Estate and Investments Corp., Paramus, NJ.




72nd:      Tenant

understand that simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this lease

Landlord will become obligated to pay a commission to a real estate broker for

effecting this lease.  If Landlord

terminates the lease by reason of Tenant’s default in the performance of the

lease terms, then Landlord shall have the right to apply that part or all of

the proceeds of Tenant’s security deposit, referred to in paragraph 17th, to

reimburse Landlord for the full real estate commission incurred by Landlord in

this Lease transaction.




73rd:       (a)  The Tenant may not assign this lease or sub

lease all or any part of the Leased Premises without first advising the

Landlord in writing of its intention to assign or sublease the premises as

aforementioned, which notice shall be in writing by certified mail, return

receipt requested, and shall contain detailed information concerning:  the names of the proposed assignee or

subtenant (and if a privately held corporation, the names and percentage

ownership of all principal stockholders); a description identifying the space

to be sublet (which shall include appropriate means of ingress and egress); a

financial statement of said proposed assignee or subtenant; a detailed

description of the nature of the business of the proposed assignee or subtenant

and its intended use of the premises; a detailed description of all terms and

conditions of the proposed assignment or subletting; and such other information

concerning the proposed assignment or subletting as Landlord may reasonably

request.  Landlord shall then have

thirty (30) days after the later of (a) receipt of Tenant’s request for consent

or (b) receipt of all information concerning the proposed assignee or subtenant,

within which to elect to recapture the premises and terminate the lease and to

release Tenant from its obligations hereunder. 

If Landlord shall elect to terminate the lease, Landlord shall advise

Tenant of its election in writing, by certified mail, return receipt requested,

prior to the expiration of the aforesaid thirty (30) day period.  If Landlord shall elect to terminate the

lease, the lease shall terminate on the last day of the forty-fifth day

Landlord effective up to and including the date of termination.  Tenant agrees that it will surrender

possession and deliver the premises to the Landlord on the date of termination

hereinabove provided.




(b)   In the

event Landlord does not elect to recapture the premises and terminate the lease

as hereinabove provided, then in that event the Tenant may assign this lease,

sublease all or any portion or part of the Leased Premises, provided (a) the Tenant

gives the Landlord notice of any 




 




15





























 




such assignment and any assignees (but not sublessees)

undertake in writing to assume the terms and conditions of this lease; (b) that

with respect to any said assignment Landlord shall receive the full amount of

the consideration, if any, to be paid to Tenant by the assignee in connection

with the assignment including any amount in excess of fair market value paid

for furniture, furnishings, fixtures and equipment; and with respect to any

subletting, Landlord shall receive the full amount of any rent to be paid to

Tenant by its subtenant in excess of the rent due from Tenant to Landlord; (c)

the proposed assignee or sublessee shall receive the approval of the municipality

or other governmental authority to use and occupy the premises; and (d) in any

event, the Tenant shall remain directly and primarily liable for the

performance of the terms and conditions of this lease.  Landlord reserves the right, at all times, to

require and demand that the primary Tenant hereunder pay and perform the terms

and conditions of this lease. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such assignment or subletting shall be

made to any tenant who shall occupy the premises for any use which would create

a greater likelihood of damage, wear or tear to the building or Leased Premises

than that of Tenant’s use; which would adversely affect the character of the

building; which would in any way violate the applicable ordinances, rules and

regulations of applicable governmental boards and bureaus having jurisdiction

thereof, or of the carrier of the fire insurance or other insurance to be

provided under this Lease; which would increase the cost of insurance to the

Leased Premises, building or contents of other tenants; all of the foregoing to

be determined in Landlord’s sole discretion.




(b)           In

the event Tenant or its assignee shall undertake any further and subsequent

assignments, Tenant’s right to assign shall be subject to the same required

prior consent of Landlord in accordance with the same terms and conditions as

provided in Paragraph 73 above.




(c)           Tenant

shall pay to Landlord the amount of reasonable legal fees incurred by Landlord

in connection with Tenant’s request to assign or sublet hereunder.




74th:       Whenever

Landlord’s consent or approval is required under this Lease, such consent shall

not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.




75th:       Tenant

shall have the right of first refusal to match any purchase offer for the

premises which Landlord intends to accept. 

Prior to acceptance, Landlord shall inform the Tenant in writing of the

terms of said offer and Tenant shall have thirty (30) days to inform Landlord

in writing whether it intends to match such offer and purchase the

premises.  If Tenant so elects, it must

close within a reasonable time of said exercise of the right of first refusal.




                In

Witness, the parties have set their hands and seals or caused these presents to

be signed by their proper corporate officers and caused their proper corporate seal

to be affixed, the day and year first above written.

GUARANTEE




 




 




Regarding Lease dated as at December 1, 1986

between BERNARD LEVERE and ZELDA LEVERE as Landlord and PIONEER

PHARMACEUTICALS, INC. as Tenant.




The Guarantor hereby unconditionally guarantees to the

Landlord (1) the full and prompt payment of all amounts payable by the Tenant

under the Lease when and as the same shall become due, whether at the stated

time therein, by acceleration or otherwise and (2) the due and timely

performance of all obligations and observance of all covenants of the Tenant

under the Lease (such payment and performance hereinafter collectively referred

to as the “Obligations”).  In the event

any of the Obligations shall not be paid or performed according to their terms,

the Guarantor shall immediately pay, perform or cause the performance of the

same, this guarantee being a guarantee of full payment and performance and not

of collectibility and no way conditional or contingent.  This Guarantee is an absolute, unconditional

and continuing guarantee and is in no way conditioned upon any requirement that

the Landlord first attempt to collect payment or seek performance of any of the

obligations from the Tenant or any other obligor or guarantor, or resort to any

other security or other means of obtaining payment or performance of any of the

Obligations, or upon any other contingency whatsoever.




Upon any default by the Tenant in the full and

punctual payment or performance of the Obligations, the liabilities and

obligations of the Guarantor hereunder, shall, at the option of the Landlord

become forthwith due and payable without demand or notice of any nature, all of

which are expressly waived by the Guarantor. Each and every default in the

payment or performance of the Obligations shall give rise to a separate cause

of action under this Guarantee and separate suits may be brought hereunder as

each cause of action arises.




The Guarantor further agrees, as the principal obligor

and not as a guarantor only, to pay forthwith upon demand, all costs and

expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred or

expended in connection with this Guarantee and the Lease and the enforcement

hereof and thereof, together with interest on amounts recoverable under this

Guarantee from the time such amount becomes due until payment thereof at the

default rate provided in the Lease.




The Landlord shall be at liberty, without giving

notice to or obtaining the consent of the Guarantor and without relieving the

Guarantor of any liability hereunder, to deal with the Tenant and with each

other person who now is or after the date hereof becomes liable in any manner

for any of the Obligations, in such manner as the Landlord, in its sole

discretion, deems fit and proper, and to this end, the Guarantor hereby gives

to the Landlord the full authority in its discretion, to do any and all of the

following things, without notice to, or obtaining the consent of, the

Guarantor:




(a)   grant

waivers, extensions, renewals or other indulgences under the Lease;




(b)   waive the

payments or performance of any of the obligations;




(c)   modify or

amend any of the terms, provisions or agreements contained in the Lease;




 




18





























 




(d)   vary,

exchange, release or discharge, wholly or partially, or delay in or abstain

from perfecting or enforcing any security or guarantee of the Obligations by

any other person;




(e)   accept

partial payment or performance of any of the Obligations; or




(f)    compromise

or make any settlement or other arrangement with the Tenant or any other

guarantor of the Obligation.




The Guarantor hereby consents to all of the terms and

provision of the Lease, as the same may be from time to time amended or

modified.  The Guarantor hereby

irrevocably waives;




(a)   notice of

acceptance of this Guarantee and notice that credit has been extended by the

Landlord in reliance hereon;




(b)   notice of

any amendment or any change in the terms of the Lease, or any other present or

future agreement relating directly or indirectly thereto;




(c)   notice of

assignment;




(d)   notice of

any default or Event of Default under the Lease, or any other present or future

agreement relating directly or indirectly thereto;




(e)   demand for

performance or observance of an enforcement of any provisions of or any pursuit

or exhaustion of any rights or remedies against the Tenant, or any other

guarantor or obligor who becomes liable in any manner for any of the

Obligations; and




(f)    diligence,

presentment, protest, notice of dishonor and notice of default in the payment

of any amount at any time payable by the Tenant under or in connection with the

Lease.
