**2.3.** Tenant will have a right of first opportunity (the “Opportunity Right”) to lease the approximately 11,174 square foot space adjacent to the Demised Premises in the Building (such space is hereinafter referred to as “New Space”), as depicted on Exhibit A-1, on the following terms and conditions:

**(a)** Tenant’s Opportunity Right will be conditioned upon and subject to (i) no then existing Default by Tenant beyond any applicable notice and cure period under the Lease, and (ii) Landlord determining in its sole but reasonable discretion, that Tenant’s financial condition or credit worthiness has not materially deteriorated since the date of this Lease. The Opportunity Right will be assignable by Tenant to any permitted assignee of this Lease.

**(b)** Landlord will give Tenant written notice (“Offer Notice”) of the terms and conditions upon which a *bona fide* third party is interested in leasing all or a portion of the New Space if Landlord intends to lease such New Space, or a portion thereof, on such terms and conditions, except that, notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in any Offer Notice, (i) Tenant shall pay Fixed Rent for the term of the Lease for the New Space at the Prevailing Rental Rate (as defined in, and determined in accordance with, paragraph 33.1); (ii) if the expiration date for the term of the proposed lease for the New Space or portion thereof (the “New Space Expiration Date”), as set forth in the Offer Notice is subsequent to the Expiration Date, then and in such event (x) the expiration date for theLease for the New Space, or the portion thereof, as the case may be, shall be the New Space Expiration Date, and (y) Tenant shall have the option, to be exercised in writing simultaneously when it accepts the terms specified in the Offer Notice, as revised herein, to extend the Expiration Date of this Lease to the New Space Expiration Date, it being agreed that from the period commencing upon the Expiration Date until the New Space Expiration Date, the Lease shall be upon the same terms and provisions provided herein except that Tenant shall pay Fixed Rent for such period at the Prevailing Rental Rate; and (iii) the balance of the terms of the Lease for the New Space or portion thereof, as the case may be, shall substantially be as set forth in this Lease but without any additional renewal rights unless they are specified in the Offer Notice. Once Tenant elects to accept the offer, it shall be bound to lease the New Space or the portion thereof so offered upon the terms in the OfferNotice, as modified herein, notwithstanding the fact that the Prevailing Rental Rate may not yet have been determined, and Tenant shall pay the Fixed Rent that was specified in the Offer Notice until such determination is made. If, based upon the final determination of the Prevailing Rental Rate, the Fixed Rent paid by Tenant was greater or less than the Prevailing Rental Rate, the amount of such excess shall be refunded by Landlord to Tenant or the amount of such underpayment shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord, as the case may be, within ten (10) days of such determination. After Tenant has received the Offer Notice, Tenant will have ten (10) days to notify Landlord in writing of Tenant’s determination to lease the New Space, or a portion thereof so offered, on the terms and conditions set forth in the Offer Notice, as revised herein. If Tenant accepts the terms of the Offer Notice, Landlord and Tenant will consummate an amendment to this Lease, effective as of the date the NewSpace (or relevant portion thereof) is to be included in the Premises, upon the terms set forth in the Offer Notice, as revised herein, and, to the extent not inconsistent with the Offer Notice terms (as revised herein), the terms of this Lease. 

**(c)** If Tenant does not elect to accept the offer contained in the Offer Notice, as revised herein, within the applicable time period, Landlord will be entitled to lease the New Space or a portion thereof so offered on terms not materially different than those set forth in the Offer Notice with the party specified in the Offer Notice. If such lease is not consummated within one hundred fifty (150) days after the date of such Offer Notice, Tenant’s Opportunity Right with respect thereto will revive, and the provisions of this Section 2.3 will again be applicable. Upon Landlord’s leasing the New Space or a portion thereof so offered to the third party specified in such Offer Notice within such one hundred fifty (150) day period on such terms and conditions as are not materially different than in the Offer Notice, Tenant’s Opportunity Right with respect tothe lease of such New Space or a portion thereof so offered will terminate and Tenant, if requested by Landlord, will execute an amendment to this Lease terminating all of Tenant’s rights pursuant to this paragraph with respect to such New Space or a portion thereof so offered.

**(d)** If, following Tenant’s rejection of the Offer Notice, Landlord wishes to lease such New Space or a portion thereof so offered on materially different terms than the terms specified in the Offer Notice, Landlord will notify Tenant of such change in terms (“Change Notice”). Tenant will then have ten (10) days from receipt of the Change Notice to notify Landlord in writing of Tenant’s election to lease such New Space or a portion thereof so offered on the terms and conditions contained in the Change Notice (as modified pursuant to Section 2.3(b)), which election will have the same effect with regard to the rights of Landlord and Tenant as the acceptance or rejection of the Offer Notice.****

Unless otherwise expressly provided, Tenant shall pay all Additional Rent to Landlord fifteen (15) days after notice to Tenant. Landlord shall have the same rights and remedies to terminate this Lease and/or to recover possession of the Premises for Tenant’s failure to pay Additional Rent in accordance with the preceding sentence as for Tenant’s failure to pay Fixed Rent, subject to any applicable notice and cure periods. 

**3.4.** Except as otherwise expressly provided to the contrary herein, Tenant shall pay all Fixed Rent and Additional Rent promptly when due and payable, without notice or demand, and without offset, deduction, credit, abatement, or counterclaim of any kind or for any reason whatsoever.

**3.6.** In addition to any other remedies provided herein, in the event that any installed of Rent or payment of additional rent is more than ten (10) calendar days overdue, then a “late charge” of 4% of the amount(s) so overdue may be charged by Landlord for each month or part thereof that the same remains overdue. This charge will be deemed compensation to Landlord for the inconvenience and expenses of policing and processing late payment(s) and will be in addition to and not in lien of any other remedy Landlord may have under the circumstances and in addition to any reasonable fees and charges of any agents or attorneys Landlord may employ in the event of any default hereunder, whether authorized herein or by law. At the option of Landlord, any such late charge, if not previously paid, will be added to and become part of the next succeeding payment of Rent tobe made hereunder.

**ARTICLE 4.**Tax Payment.

**4.1.** Tenant shall pay Landlord, as Additional Rent for each Tax Year (or portion thereof) occurring during the Term an amount (the “Tax Payment”) equal to Tenant’s Percentage of all Taxes for such Tax Year. The Tax Payment shall be payable in four (4) equal quarterly installments on the thirtieth (30th) day before each such installment is due.

**4.2.** Landlord shall furnish Tenant with a written statement of the Tax Payment due with respect to each Tax Year (each such statement, a “Tax Statement”), together with a copy of the applicable tax bills, or equivalent documentation. If Landlord issues a Tax Statement after the beginning of the applicable Tax Year, then until such Tax Statement is rendered, Tenant shall pay the Tax Payment for such Tax Year in four (4) equal quarterly installments based upon the most recent Tax Statement rendered to Tenant; and within thirty (30) days after receiving a new Tax Statement, Tenant shall receive a credit against subsequent payments under this Article 4 in an amount equal to any overpayment or shall pay Landlord the amount of any shortfall for such Tax Year. If the Taxes for any Tax Year change or are abated by the taxing authorities, whether during or after suchTax Year, Landlord shall give Tenant a revised Tax Statement for such Tax Year; and Tenant’s Tax Payment for such Tax Year shall be adjusted or credited, as appropriate, in accordance with this Section, or promptly refunded to Tenant with respect to any abatement. Landlord’s delay in rendering a Tax Statement with respect to any Tax Year shall not prejudice Landlord’s right thereafter to render a Tax Statement with respect to that (or any later) Tax Year, provided that such Tax Statement is rendered to Tenant within nine (9) months subsequent to the end of the applicable Tax Year. The rights and obligations of Landlord and Tenant under this Article shall survive expiration of the Term or other termination of this Lease.

**4.3.** If at any time, Taxes are required to be paid in annual, semi-annual, or other installments, or on any date or dates other than as presently required, whether such Taxes are required to be paid to any Government Entity or to be paid to a lender or ground lessor in escrow pursuant to a mortgage or ground lease of the Property then, at Landlord’s option, the Tax Payments shall be correspondingly rescheduled so that Tenant’s Tax Payments are due not earlier than thirty (30) days before such payments are due (except that with respect to any escrow of Taxes required under any mortgage or ground lease, payments into such escrow shall not be required to be made more often than quarterly). A Tax Payment covering any fiscal period that includes a period before the Commencement Date or after the Expiration Date shall be apportioned between Landlord and Tenant ona per diem basis. Subject to Landlord’s rights to defer the payment of all or a portion of Taxes due in connection with tax reduction proceedings or similar proceedings, Landlord covenants to pay all Taxes on or before the date the same become delinquent and to provide Tenant with evidence of payment within fifteen (15) business days after Tenant’s written request therefor.

**4.5.** Tenant waives all rights to protest or appeal the appraised value of the Premises and/or the Building, and all rights to receive notices of reappraisement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may request, at any time during the Term (but not more than one time during each Tax Year) that Landlord appeal the appraised value of the Building. In the event Landlord prosecutes such tax appeal based upon Tenant’s request, and the tax appeal is unsuccessful, Tenant shall pay Landlord its Fees-and-Costs associated with the tax appeal as Additional Rent and such Fees-and-Costs shall not be included as part of Taxes; if the tax appeal is successful, the Fees-and-Costs thereof shall be included as part of Taxes. In no event shall Tenant’s right to request the filing of a tax appeal grant Tenant any other rights relating to such appeal. If Landlord shall receive areduction or refund in connection with such tax appeal which relates to any year for which Tenant has paid Tenant’s Tax Payment, the amount of such reduction or refund shall be subtracted from Taxes payable or paid by Landlord for such year and proper reimbursement shall be made by Landlord to Tenant promptly after Landlord receives or is credited with such refund or reduction.

If Tenant’s previous payments for the Operating Year were more or less than the amounts that Tenant should have paid pursuant to Landlord’s Estimate, Tenant shall pay any underpayment within thirty (30) days after receiving Landlord’s Estimate or Landlord shall credit any overpayment against subsequent payments under this Article 5.

**5.3.** Landlord shall endeavor to provide Tenant, on or about the date which is four (4) months subsequent to the end of each Operating Year, with a reasonably detailed written statement (the “Expense and Assessment Statement”) prepared by the Managing Agent setting forth the Expenses and Assessments for the preceding Operating Year and the balance of the Expense and Assessment Payment, if any, due from Tenant for such Operating Year. If Tenant’s payments under Section 6.2 were greater than the Expense and Assessment Payment for such Operating Year, Landlord shall pay Tenant the excess within thirty (30) days after delivery of the Expense and Assessment Statement.

The rights and obligations of Landlord and Tenant under this Article shall survive expiration of the Term or other termination of this Lease. 

**5.4.** If the Commencement Date is other than the first day of an Operating Year, or if the Expiration Date is a day other than the last day of an Operating Year, the Expense and Assessment Payment for such partial year shall be adjusted on a per diem basis to reflect the number of days in the Operating Year actually within the Term.

**5.5.** Each Expense and Assessment Statement shall be conclusive and binding upon Tenant unless within ninety (90) days after receipt thereof Tenant notifies Landlord that Tenant disputes the correctness of such Expense and Assessment Statement, specifying the particular respects in which the same Expense and Assessment Statement is allegedly incorrect. Pending the determination of any such dispute, Tenant shall make all payments in accordance with the disputed statement without prejudice to Tenant’s position.

14
**ARTICLE 13.**Damage and Restoration.

**13.1.** Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord of any Damage to the Premises.

**13.2.** If, as a result of such Damage the Premises is rendered untenantable or if the Building is so damaged that either Tenant is deprived of reasonable access to the Premises or the Repair Estimate is more than one hundred twenty (120) days, then either party may, not later than sixty (60) days following date of such Damage, give the other party a notice in writing terminating this Lease. If either party elects to terminate this Lease as aforesaid, the Term shall expire upon the sixtieth (60th) day after such notice is given as if such date were the Expiration Date and Tenant shall thereupon vacate the Premises and surrender the same to Landlord in accordance with all provisions of this Lease. 

**13.3.** If Landlord elects or is obligated to Restore the Building under this Article and has not substantially completed such Restoration within the lesser of (i) one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of such Damage or (ii) the Repair Estimate, then Tenant may terminate this Lease by written notice to Landlord such notice to be delivered within thirty (30) days of the end of the applicable time period. In the event a termination notice is delivered by Tenant, such notice will be effective on the tenth (10th) day after delivery by Tenant.

**13.4.** Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Article, if the Premises are damaged or rendered untenable to the extent of twenty-five percent (25%) or more during the last year of the Term, then either Tenant or Landlord may, not later than thirty (30) days following date of such Damage, give the other a notice in writing terminating this Lease. If either party shall elect to terminate this Lease under the provisions of this Section the Term shall expire upon the thirtieth (30th) day after such notice is given as if such date were the Expiration Date and Tenant shall thereupon vacate the Premises and surrender the same to Landlord in accordance with all provisions of the Lease.

15
**13.5.** In any case in which all or a part of the Premises become unusable by Tenant as a result of fire, the elements or other casualty, Tenant shall be entitled to an abatement of Rents from the date of such Damage to the date when the Premises have been substantially Restored. Such abatement shall be in direct proportion to the ratio of the usable area of the Premises rendered unusable as a result of such Damage to the total usable area of the Premises.

**13.6.** This Article shall be considered an express agreement governing any case of Damage to the Premises and any provisions of the Legal Requirements of the State of New Jersey which conflict with the provisions set forth herein are hereby waived by Tenant. Without limiting the foregoing, Tenant hereby expressly waives the benefit of *New Jersey Statutes Annotated, Title 46, Chapter 8, Sections 6 and 7* and any successor statute.

**ARTICLE 14.**Condemnation.

**14.1.** If the entire Premises is condemned, this Lease shall terminate on the date Tenant is required to yield possession thereof to the Condemning Government Entity. If only a portion of the Premises is Condemned, this Lease shall terminate solely as to the portion so taken on the date Tenant is required to yield possession thereof to the Condemning Government Entity. Landlord shall Restore the portion of the Property and/or the Premises not Condemned so that it may be legally occupied by Tenant and all Rents shall be reduced in direct proportion to the ratio that the usable area of the Premises so taken bears to the total usable area of the Premises. If twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the Building is Condemned as aforesaid (whether or not the Premises, or any portion thereof, is Condemned), or if parking spaces on the Property are substantially reduced by suchCondemnation, and Landlord does not deem it reasonably feasible to Restore the Building or replace such parking spaces with other parking spaces on the portion of the Property not Condemned, then Landlord may elect to terminate this Lease as of the date on which possession thereof is required to be yielded to the condemning Government Entity, by giving notice of such election within sixty (60) days after such date. If Landlord elects to terminate this Lease as aforesaid, the Term shall expire upon the sixtieth (60th) day after such notice is given as if such date were the Expiration Date and Tenant shall thereupon vacate the Premises and surrender the same to Landlord in accordance with all provisions of this Lease.

**14.2.** If all or any part of the Premises is Condemned during the Term for a period not exceeding twelve (12) months, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect. However, in such event, Tenant shall be entitled to the entire award, compensation or damages for such temporary Condemnation. In the event the temporary Condemnation relates to a period, a portion of which is included within the Term and a portion of which is not, Tenant shall only be entitled to the portion of the award that relates to the portion of the temporary Condemnation occurring during the Term. A temporary Condemnation of all or part of the Premises for a period in excess of twelve (12) months shall be deemed to be (to the extent thereof) a permanent Condemnation.

**14.3.** In the event of any permanent Condemnation of all or any portion of the Property, whether or not this Lease shall be terminated by virtue thereof, Landlord shall be entitled to receive the entire award and compensation, without deduction for any estate vested in Tenant by this Lease (or any value attributable thereto) and Tenant agrees to execute and file any and all applications and documents necessary or desirable to facilitate Landlord’s collection of any such award and compensation. Nothing contained in this Article shall be deemed to prevent Tenant from making a separate claim in any Condemnation proceeding for the unamortized cost of any fixtures or Alterations paid for by Tenant (other than Landlord’s Work pursuant to Exhibit “D”); for moving expenses; and for any loss of business, but only if such award shall be made by the GovernmentEntity in addition to, and shall not result in a reduction of the award received by, Landlord.

16
**14.4.** Landlord shall have no liability for any loss, damage or inconvenience arising out of any Condemnation of the Common Areas, Common Elements or the Common Facilities of the Business Center; provided, however, that if access to the Property is denied by virtue of such Condemnation for a period in excess of one (1) month, Tenant may terminate this Lease as though the Premises had been permanently condemned. 

**14.5.** Notwithstanding anything set forth herein, if part of the Premises is Condemned, which will result in undue hardship or material interference, in Tenant’s judgment reasonably exercised (it being agreed that a Condemnation of 10% or more of the Premises would result in undue hardship or material interference), in the conduct of Tenant’s business operations in the Premises, or if, by reason of the Condemnation, Tenant no longer has reasonable means of access to the Premises and Landlord fails to provide an alternate means of access within thirty (30) days from such Condemnation, Tenant may terminate this Lease by notice to Landlord given not less than thirty-one (31) nor more than ninety (90) days following the date of such Condemnation. If Tenant so notifies Landlord, this Lease shall terminate and the Term shall end and expire upon the thirtieth (30th)day following the giving of such notice and Tenant shall have no further obligation or liability under this Lease except as expressly provided herein.

**14.6.** In any case where, as a result of Condemnation, the Premises or any portion thereof becomes unusable by Tenant, Tenant shall be entitled to an abatement of Rents from the date when the Premises becomes unusable to the date when the Premises have been substantially Restored or the Lease is terminated, as the case may be. Such abatement shall be in direct proportion to the ratio of the usable area of the Premises so rendered unusable to the total usable area of the Premises.

At Landlord’s election, Landlord may install and maintain, at Landlord’s expense, a water meter to register such unusual consumption of water.

**15.3.** Landlord shall furnish rubbish removal services as required (in contradistinction to janitorial services and Premises cleaning, which shall be arranged and paid for directly by Tenant) and shall maintain and repair, as required, the exterior areas of the Property and, in connection therewith, furnish landscaping and snow removal services.

In the event Tenant shall employ a contractor to provide any services to the Premises, such contractor (and any subcontractors) shall agree to employ only such labor as will not result in jurisdictional disputes or strikes. Tenant shall inform Landlord of the names of any contractor or subcontractor Tenant proposes to use in the Premises at least fifteen (15) days prior to the beginning of work by such contractor or subcontractors.

**15.5.** Landlord reserves the right to stop or interrupt any of the services required to be provided under this Lease and the use of any other facilities, at such times as shall be required by reason of accidents or emergencies, strikes, making of necessary repairs, alterations or improvements, inability to secure a proper supply of fuel, steam, water, electricity, labor or supplies, or any other similar or dissimilar causes whatsoever beyond Landlord’s reasonable control, and not related to Landlord’s, Landlord’s Affiliates’ or the Property Employees’ negligence or tortious conduct. 

**15.6.** If Tenant desires that Landlord provide the services described in Sections 15.1, 15.2, or 15.3 in quantities in excess of the amounts which Landlord has agreed to furnish, or at times other than which Landlord is required to furnish such services, Landlord will directly charge Tenant for such excess or overtime services at market rates.

**15.7** Landlord warrants that all HVAC (which consists of rooftop units serving all tenant spaces with appropriate air handlers, VAV boxes and controllers) and mechanical plumbing are in good working order as of the Commencement Date of this Lease and, as part of the Expenses, Landlord will maintain these systems.

**18.3.** Upon the request of a party (in this Section 18.3, the “Requesting Party”) from time to time, the other party (the “Certifying Party”) shall, within ten (10) business days of receipt of said written notice or request deliver to the Requesting Party a written statement (each such, an “Estoppel Certificate”) certifying that, to the extent accurate: there are no agreements other than the Lease (and no amendments, modifications, extensions, or other revisions of the Lease) in effect between Tenant and Landlord (or any other Person) with respect to the Premises, to the best of the Certifying Party’s knowledge, such party has no setoff claim, demand or cause of action against the Requesting Party; to the best of the Certifying Party’s knowledge, the Requesting Party is not in default in the performance of any of its obligationsunder the Lease; and the Certifying Party has not given any notice of default to the Requesting Party; and that the Certifying Party’s N.A.I.C.S. number or classification has not changed. In each Estoppel Certificate the Certifying Party shall certify, also, the amount of Fixed Rent then payable under the Lease, the amounts (and elements) of Additional Rent then payable, and the dates to which Tenant has paid the same. 

**18.4.** If the holder of any Senior Encumbrance requests insubstantial modifications in this Lease as a condition to approval of any financing or refinancing of the Land and/or the Building, Tenant will not unreasonably withhold or delay making any such modifications so long as they do not adversely affect Tenant’s rights and/or obligations under this Lease.

**18.5.** Tenant will pay no Fixed Rent under this Lease more than thirty (30) days in advance of its due date.

**18.6.** Tenant will not seek to terminate the Lease by reason of any default of Landlord without prior written notice thereof to the holder of any Mortgage encumbering the Premises (provided Landlord has given written notice to Tenant of such holder’s name and notice address) (“Lender”) and the lapse thereafter of such time as under the Lease was offered to Landlord in which to remedy the default; provided, however, that with respect to any default of Landlord under the Lease which cannot be remedied within such time, if Lender commences to cure such default within such time and thereafter diligently proceeds with such efforts and pursues the same to completion, Lender shall have such time as is reasonably necessary to complete curing such default, not to exceedsixty (60) days. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) in the event either Lender or Landlord do not cure or commence curing such default within the time provided to Landlord under the Lease and the nature of the default threatens Tenant’s ability to conduct its daily business or threatens to materially or adversely damage tenant’s property located on the Leased Premises, or (ii) in the event that the termination right Tenant seeks to exercise is pursuant to paragraph 2.4 of the Work Agreement attached as Exhibit “D” to the Lease, Tenant shall be permitted to exercise its rights under the Lease and/or Work Agreement.

**18.7.** Landlord shall cause the Current Mortgagee to execute and deliver to Tenant a non-disturbance agreement substantially in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit F, and otherwise in recordable form (each a “Non-Disturbance Agreement”) within sixty (60) days of the complete execution of this Lease. Further, Landlord shall exert commercially reasonable efforts to cause any future holders of any Senior Encumbrance to execute and deliver to Tenant a Non-Disturbance Agreement within sixty (60) days of the closing of any such loan evidencing the Senior Encumbrance (or the execution of the ground lease, if the Senior Encumbrance is a ground lease).

20
**ARTICLE 19.**Inability to Perform.

**19.1.** Unless otherwise provided specifically to the contrary in this Lease, this Lease and Tenant’s obligations to pay Rent and perform all of Tenant’s other covenants, agreements, terms, provisions and conditions hereunder shall not be affected, impaired or excused because Landlord is unable to fulfill any of Landlord’s obligations or is unable to furnish or is delayed in furnishing any work or service whatsoever expressly or impliedly to be furnished, or is unable to make or is delayed in making any repairs.

**ARTICLE 20.**Surrender of Premises.

**20.1.** Upon the expiration of the Term or any earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall quit and surrender to Landlord the Premises, broom clean, in the same condition as on the Commencement Date, excepting Alterations performed by Tenant in accordance with Article 10 which Tenant was not required to remove pursuant to the provisions of Section 10.2 and excepting also ordinary wear and tear and Damage and any damage caused by Landlord, Landlord’s Affiliates or Property Employees. This Section shall survive the expiration of the Term or any earlier termination of this Lease.

**20.2.** If Tenant remains in possession of the Premises after the expiration or termination of this Lease without the express written consent of Landlord (which consent shall refer specifically to this Section 20.2), the parties recognize and agree that the damage to Landlord will be substantial, will exceed the amount of monthly Fixed Rent and Additional Rent theretofore payable hereunder and will be impossible to measure accurately. Tenant, therefore, shall be deemed to be occupying the Premises as a tenant from month-to-month, at a monthly rental payable in advance on the first day of each month, equal to (i) one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Fixed Rent and Additional Rent payable during the last month of the Term for the first three (3) months of any such holdover, and (ii) two hundred percent (200%) thereafter, subject to all of the other terms of this Leaseinsofar as the same are applicable to a month-to-month tenancy. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to permit Tenant to remain in possession of the Premises after the expiration or sooner termination of the term of this Lease; provided, however, if Landlord has not entered into a Lease or firm commitment to Lease or a contract of sale that requires Landlord to deliver the Premises to a new tenant or contract purchaser on or before ninety (90) days subsequent to the Expiration Date, and Tenant is not in Default, as is permitted by this paragraph, then and in such events Tenant shall be permitted to hold over for up to ninety (90) days subsequent to the Expiration Date as a tenant from month-to-month, at one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Fixed Rent payable during the last month of the Term; further provided, however, that should Tenant remain in possession subsequent to such date, Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for damages suffered by Landlord, if any, as a result of suchholding over.

21
**ARTICLE 21.**Assignment, Mortgaging, Subletting, *etc*.

**21.1.** Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Article, Tenant shall not, without obtaining the prior written consent of Landlord which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, in each instance:

**(a)** assign or otherwise transfer this Lease or any part of Tenant’s right, title or interest therein;

**(b)** sublet all or any part of the Premises or allow all or any part of the Premises to be used or occupied by any other Persons; or

**(c)** mortgage, pledge or otherwise encumber this Lease, Tenant’s leasehold or the Premises.

Any assignment or sublet not made in compliance with the provisions of this Article 21 shall be void and of no force or effect.

**21.2.** Landlord’s consent shall not be required with respect to a sublease or assignment by Tenant to a parent, subsidiary or affiliate of Tenant or to an assignment of this Lease to a corporation into (or with) which Tenant is merged or consolidated or to any Person to which substantially all of Tenant’s assets are transferred, provided that (a) such merger, consolidation, or transfer of assets is for a business purpose and not a device for the transfer of Tenant’s interest in this Lease; (b) the assignee or successor entity in any such merger, consolidation or transfer of assets has a net worth not materially less than Tenant’s net worth (x) as of the date hereof, or (y) as of the date of such merger, consolidation or transfer, as evidenced by financial statements prepared and certified by independent certified public accountants.

For the purpose of this Section 21.2, a “subsidiary” or “affiliate” of Tenant shall mean the following:

**(c)** An “affiliate” shall mean any Person, which, directly or indirectly, controls or is controlled by or is under common control with Tenant.

**(d)** A “subsidiary” shall mean any business entity the majority of whose ownership interests shall, at the time, be owned directly or indirectly by Tenant.

**21.3.** Any assignment, whether made with Landlord’s consent to the extent required pursuant to Section 21.1 or without Landlord’s consent pursuant to Section 21.2, shall not be effective, and shall be void as against Landlord, unless and until:

**(a)** the assignee shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord an agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, under which (i) assignee assumes the obligations and performance of this Lease and agrees to be bound by all of the covenants, agreements, terms, provisions and conditions hereby on the part of Tenant to be performed or observed on and after the effective date of any such assignment; and (ii) the assignor agrees that the provisions of this Article shall continue to be binding upon it in the future, notwithstanding the assignment or other transfer; and

**(b)** in the case of an assignment pursuant to Section 21.2 in connection with a merger, consolidation or transfer of assets as described therein, Tenant or its successor shall have delivered to Landlord financial statements evidencing satisfaction of the net worth requirement in Section 21.2 (b), which requirement may be waived in writing by Landlord in its sole discretion; and

**(c)** Tenant shall have complied with Section 21.8.

22
**21.4.** Tenant covenants that, notwithstanding any assignment or transfer, Tenant shall remain fully and jointly and severally liable for the payment of all Rents due and to become due under this Lease and for the performance and observance of all of the covenants, agreements, terms, provisions and conditions of this Lease on the part of Tenant to be performed or observed. After any assignment, subletting, or other transfer permitted under Sections 21.1 or 21.2, Tenant’s liabilities and obligations under this Lease shall not be discharged, released or impaired in any respect by any agreement or stipulation made by Landlord extending the Term, or modifying any obligations contained in this Lease, or by any waiver or failure of Landlord to enforce any of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease except that, if any such agreement, stipulation or modificationincreases the obligations of Tenant under this Lease (including any extension of the Term beyond the Renewal Term), Tenant’s liability under this Lease shall continue to be no greater than as if such agreement, stipulation or modification had not been made. 

**21.5.** If Tenant agrees to assign this Lease or to sublet fifty percent (50%) or more of the Premises for a period equal to the then remaining Term of this Lease (giving effect to the Renewal Term only if the option to lease the Premises for the Renewal Term has then been duly exercised) Tenant shall, prior to the effective date thereof (the “Effective Date”) deliver to Landlord executed counterparts of any such agreement and of all ancillary agreements with the proposed assignee or subtenant, as applicable. Landlord shall then have the right to terminate this Lease on the Effective Date of such assignment or sublease (with respect to the portion of the Premises proposed to be sublet, in the case of a sublease) as if it were the Expiration Date and enter into a direct lease, with Tenant’s proposed subtenant or assignee, such right to be exercised bywritten notice to Tenant given within thirty (30) days of the date Landlord receives executed counterparts of any sublease or assignment, provided, however, Landlord shall not have such right to terminate if the assignment or sublet is permitted pursuant to paragraph 21.2. If Landlord exercises its option under this Section 21.5, (x) all Fixed Rent shall be reduced in proportion to the rentable area of the Premises recaptured by Landlord, (y) Landlord shall without any liability whatsoever to Tenant, enter into a direct lease, with Tenant’s proposed subtenant or assignee on terms and conditions substantially similar in all material respects to those set forth in the agreement evidencing such assignment or sublease and (z) the named Tenant herein shall be released from all obligations under this Lease which accrue from and after the date of Landlord’s termination of this Lease in the case of a recapture of the entire Premises in connection with a proposed assignment of theLease or in connection with a sublease of the entire Premises; or only from those obligations which accrue from and after the date of Landlord’s recapture of, and which pertain to, the space proposed to be sublet, in the case of a recapture of a portion of the Premises (other than those obligations which, by their terms, survive the expiration or termination of this Lease).

**21.6.** If Section 21.5 is inapplicable or, if Section 21.5 is applicable and Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease (in whole or in part) under Section 21.5, Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold or delay its consent to an assignment of this Lease, or a subletting of the whole or a part of the Premises provided:

**(a)** Tenant shall give Landlord the name and business address of the proposed subtenant or assignee, adequate information with respect to the nature and character of the proposed subtenant’s or assignee’s business, references and current financial information as are reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, and an execution draft of the sublease or assignment agreement, all of which shall be reasonably satisfactory to Landlord;

**(b)** the proposed subtenant or assignee must be a reputable party whose financial net worth, credit and financial responsibility are, considering the obligations under this Lease, reasonably satisfactory to Landlord;

23
**(c)** the nature and character of the proposed subtenant or assignee and its intended use of the Premises are in keeping with the standards of the Property and do not pose an environmental risk to the Property;

**(d)** Tenant shall bear all costs of providing appropriate means of ingress and egress from the sublet space (or of demising the space to be subleased from the remainder of the Premises);

**(e)** Tenant shall have paid Landlord all reasonable Fees-And-Costs reasonably incurred by Landlord in connection with the proposed transaction;

**(f)** the proposed subtenant or assignee is not (w) an employment or recruitment agency; (x) school, college, university or educational institution whether or not for profit; (y) so long as the ETS Restriction shall remain in effect, engaged in the coaching or preparation of individuals to take standardized training, aptitude, or intelligence tests (except for minor uses incidental to other primary business uses of the assignee or subtenant); or (z) a Government Entity or government of any other sovereign nation (or any branch or division thereof);

**(g)** in the case of a subletting of a portion of the Premises that shall be physically demised from the balance of the Premises, the portion so sublet shall be regular in shape and suitable for normal renting purposes; 

**(h)** there shall be no more than two (2) subtenants of the Premises at any time; and

**(i)** the proposed subtenant or assignee is not a tenant of the Building or someone actively negotiating with Landlord for space in the Building and space is available for leasing in the Building.

**21.7.** If Landlord has not elected to terminate this Lease (in whole or in part) under Section 21.5 or, if Landlord consents to any assignment or sublease, Tenant shall pay Landlord, as Additional Rent:

**(a)** in the case of each and every assignment, an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of all sums and other considerations whatsoever paid to Tenant by the assignee for (or by reason of) such assignment and attributable to the value of the Lease (including any sums paid for the sale of Tenant’s fixtures, leasehold improvements made at Tenant’s expense, equipment, furniture, furnishings or other personal property which are in excess of the fair market value thereof if the payment of such excess sums constitutes an attempt to avoid the provisions of this Section) after first deducting the Rent and the reasonable costs incurred by Tenant in connection with such assignment for legal fees and disbursements, brokerage commissions, accounting fees and advertising costs; and

**(b)** in the case of each and every sublease fifty percent (50%) of all subrents and additional charges payable to Tenant by the subtenant under the sublease which exceed all Rents under this Lease accruing during the term of the sublease in respect of the subleased space (allocated in proportion to the space demised, as reasonably computed by the Managing Agent) pursuant to the terms hereof (including, any sums paid for the sale or rental of Tenant’s fixtures, leasehold improvements made at Tenant’s expense, equipment, furniture or furnishings or other personal property which are in excess of the fair market value thereof if the payment of such excess sums constitutes an attempt to avoid the provisions of this Section) after first deducting the reasonable costs incurred by Tenant in connection with such subletting for any legal fees and disbursements,brokerage commissions, accounting fees, advertising costs, reasonable costs of constructing demising walls in connection with any subletting.

24
Tenant shall pay Landlord all amounts due under this Section 21.7 as and when paid by the assignee or subtenant to Tenant. The provisions of this Section 21.7 shall not be applicable to any subletting or assignment made pursuant to Section 21.2. 

**21.8.** As a condition precedent to Tenant’s assignment of the Lease or its sublet of all or part of the Premises, Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall have received from the NJDEP, if required, all approvals (if any) required to be obtained pursuant to ISRA. No assignment or sublease shall become effective, whether or not Landlord may have previously afforded its consent, if the terms of this Section 21.8 are not satisfied.

**ARTICLE 22.**Quiet Enjoyment.

**22.1.** Upon paying all Fixed Rent and Additional Rent promptly when due and keeping and performing the terms, covenants, conditions and provisions of this Lease, Tenant may lawfully and quietly hold and enjoy the Premises during the Term without hindrance, ejection, molestation, or interruption, subject, however, to the terms, covenants, conditions, and provisions of this Lease. Landlord shall not have the right to relocate Tenant.

**22.2.** Nothing in this Section shall prevent Landlord from performing alterations or repairs on other portions of the Building not leased to Tenant, nor shall performance of such alterations or repairs be construed as a breach of this covenant by Landlord. In performing such alterations or repairs Landlord shall exercise reasonable diligence to minimize interference with Tenant’s access to the Premises or Tenant’s business operations, but shall not be required to perform any maintenance, repairs, Restoration or Alterations on an overtime or premium pay basis, so long as such does not interfere unreasonably or materially with Tenant’s access to or use or occupancy of the Premises. 

**ARTICLE 23.**Real Estate Brokers.

**23.1.** Each party hereby represents and warrants to the other party that it has had no dealings with any real estate brokers or sales agents in connection with the negotiation and execution of this Lease other than the Brokers named in Article 1 hereof, who shall be paid by Landlord pursuant to separate agreements.

25
**ARTICLE 25.**Defaults; Remedies.

**25.1.** Each of the following events shall be a “Default” under this Lease:

**(a)** Tenant fails to pay any amount of Fixed Rent, when the same shall be due and such failure shall continue for ten (10) calendar days after written notice from Landlord to Tenant; 

**(b)** Tenant fails to pay any amount of Additional Rent when the same shall be due, and such failure shall continue for ten (10) calendar days after written notice from Landlord to Tenant; 

**(c)** Tenant fails to keep or perform any other covenant or provision of this Lease, and such failure continues for thirty (30) days after written notice from Landlord, unless such failure requires work to be performed, acts to be done, or conditions to be remedied which cannot be performed, done or remedied within such thirty (30) days, in which case the Default shall not be deemed to exist as long as Tenant duly commences and diligently and continuously prosecutes to completion all steps necessary to cure and remedy the same; 

**(d)** Tenant admits, in writing, that Tenant is unable to pay Tenant’s debts as such become due; 

**(e)** Tenant makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors; 

**(f)** Tenant files a voluntary petition in bankruptcy or Tenant files any petition or answer seeking any reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or similar relief under any present or future Legal Requirements, or Tenant seeks or consents to or acquiesces in the appointment of any trustee, receiver or liquidator of Tenant or of the Premises (or, Tenant’s interest therein) or of all or any substantial part of Tenant’s property; and

**(g)** if, within sixty (60) days after the commencement of any proceeding against Tenant seeking any reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or similar relief under any present or future Legal Requirements, such proceeding is not dismissed; or if, within sixty (60) days after the appointment (without the consent or acquiescence of Tenant) of any trustee, receiver or liquidator of Tenant or of all or any substantial part of Tenant’s property or of the Premises (or Tenant’s interest therein), such appointment is not vacated or stayed on appeal or otherwise.

**25.2.** If and whenever any Default occurs, Landlord may give written notice to Tenant (the “Termination Notice”) stating that this Lease and the Term shall expire and terminate on the date specified in such Termination Notice (which date shall be not earlier than five (5) days after the giving of the Termination Notice). In such event, this Lease and the Term (and Tenant’s entire right, title, and interest therein) shall expire and terminate as if the date specified in the Termination Notice were the Expiration Date; and Tenant shall quit and surrender the Premises but shall remain liable as hereinafter provided. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 25.2, Landlord will not be required to give any notice of default and no cure period shall be applicable to the failure of Tenant to observe or perform any of its agreements or obligations hereunder that are of the type (*i.e.*, failure to pay timely the Fixed Rent) of an agreement or obligation of which, within the immediately preceding one hundred twenty (120) day period Tenant has committed two or more defaults hereunder, and about which Landlord has transmitted to Tenant two or more default notices.

26
**25.3.** If and whenever any Default occurs, or if this Lease and the Term terminate under Section 25.2, Landlord may without notice re-enter and repossess the Premises; and Tenant shall remain liable as hereinafter provided. If Landlord so re-enters, at its option, Landlord may:

**(a)** complete Landlord’s Work to the extent not then completed;

**(b)** repair and alter the Premises in such manner as Landlord may deem necessary or desirable without relieving Tenant of any liability whatsoever under this Lease; and

**(c)** let or relet the Premises (or any parts thereof) for the whole or any part of the remainder of the Term, or for a longer period, in Landlord’s name or as agent of Tenant, and pay and apply all rents and other sums thus collected or received as follows:

**(i)** first, to all reasonable costs and expenses which Landlord pays or incurs in terminating this Lease, re-entering, retaking, repossessing, repairing and/or altering the Premises, and peaceably removing all Persons and property therefrom, including all Fees-And-Costs;

**(ii)** second, to all reasonable costs and expenses which Landlord incurs in securing any new tenant(s) of the Premises (including such costs brokerage commissions and reasonable expenses of preparing the Premises for re-letting, and all Fees-And-Costs; and, if Landlord maintains the Premises, all reasonable costs and expenses of maintaining the Premises, including utilities); and

**(iii)** third, any balance then remaining on account of Tenant’s liability to Landlord under this Lease.

In no case shall re-entry by Landlord, whether under summary proceedings or otherwise, absolve or discharge Tenant from any liability whatsoever under this Lease. Landlord shall have no obligation whatsoever to relet the Premises (or any parts thereof), or to collect any rent or other sums due on any such re-letting; and Landlord’s failure to relet or to collect Rent shall not relieve Tenant of any liability whatsoever under this Lease.

**25.4.** Intentionally Omitted.

**25.5.** Nothing in this Lease shall limit or prejudice Landlord’s right to prove and obtain as liquidated damages in any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization or dissolution proceeding an amount equal to the maximum allowed by any applicable Legal Requirements at the time when such damages are to be proved, whether such amount is greater, equal to, or less than, the amount of damages otherwise specified in this Article. Tenant’s interest in the Lease shall not pass to any trustee, receiver, assignee for the benefit of creditors, or any other person or entity, or otherwise by operation of law under the laws of the State unless the Landlord consents in writing to such transfer.

**25.6.** No receipt of moneys by Landlord from Tenant after a termination of this Lease, shall reinstate, continue or extend the Term or affect any Termination Notice or other written notice previously given to Tenant, or operate as a waiver of Landlord’s right to enforce payment of Fixed Rent or Additional Rent then or subsequently becoming due, or operate as a waiver of Landlord’s right to recover possession of the Premises. If Tenant is in arrears in the payment of Fixed Rent or Additional Rent, Tenant waives its right, if any, to designate the item against which any payments made by Tenant are to be credited and Tenant agrees that Landlord may apply any payment made by Tenant to any items as Landlord may reasonably see fit, irrespective of and notwithstanding any designation or request by Tenant as to the items against which any such payment shall be credited.

27
**25.7.**  In case of any such termination by summary proceedings or otherwise in the event  of a Default, Tenant agrees that:

**(a)**  The Fixed Rent and all Additional Rent required to be paid by Tenant hereunder  will thereupon become due and be paid up to the time of such termination or  dispossess. Tenant will also pay to Landlord, as additional rent, all of Landlord’s  reasonable expenses for attorneys’ fees, brokerage commissions, all costs  paid or incurred by Landlord for retaking and repossessing the Demised Premises  (including the removal of persons and property therefrom), restoring the Demised  Premises to good order and condition, altering and otherwise preparing the same  for reletting (without regard to whether such alterations may be characterized  as capital improvements), the unamortized portion of any rental concessions,  Tenant fit-out or abatement (treated as if amortized over the initial Term hereof)  and for all other reasonable costs and expenses incurred in securing a new tenant  or tenants (all of the foregoing collectively referred to as the “Early  Termination Damages”).

**(b)**  Landlord may, at any time and from time to time, relet the Demised Premises,  in whole or in part, in its own name, for a term or terms which, at Landlord’s  option, may be for the remainder of the then current Term of this Lease, or  for any longer or shorter period. Landlord undertakes to use reasonable efforts  to relet the Demised Premises so as to mitigate damages but will not be required  to prefer such reletting to any letting of other vacant space in the Building.

**(c)**  Tenant will be obligated and agrees to pay to Landlord, upon demand, and Landlord  will be entitled to recover from Tenant, the Early Termination Damages plus  damages in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) all Fixed Rent and  all Additional Rent as would have been required to be paid by Tenant under this  Lease for each calendar month had this Lease and the Term not been so terminated,  over (ii) the rents, if any, collected by Landlord in respect of such calendar  month pursuant to any reletting. In no event will Tenant be entitled to receive  any excess of such rents over the sums payable by Tenant to Landlord hereunder.  Said damages will be payable by Tenant to Landlord in monthly installments in  the same manner as Fixed Rent hereunder, and no suit or action brought to collect  the amount of the deficiency for any month will in any way prejudice Landlord’s  right to collect the deficiency for any subsequent month by a similar proceeding.

Alternatively,  Landlord may, at Landlord’s sole option, without notice and without prejudice  to any other rights or remedies of Landlord hereunder or at law or in equity,  recover from Tenant, in addition to the Early Termination Damages, as liquidated  damages for such Default, expiration and/or dispossess, an amount equal to the  difference between (i) the Fixed Rent and all additional rent reserved in this  Lease from the date of such Default to the Expiration Date and (ii) the then  fair market rental value of the Demised Premises for the same period, discounted  to present value at a rate not more than four percent (4%) per annum. Said damages  will become due and payable to Landlord immediately upon such Default of this  Lease and without regard to whether this Lease be terminated or not, and if  this Lease be terminated, without regard to the manner in which it is terminated.

**(d)** Suit or suits for the recovery of any and all such damages, or for any installments thereof, may be brought by Landlord from time to time at its election, and nothing herein contained will be deemed to require Landlord to postpone suit until the date the Term would have expired had the Lease not been terminated as provided herein or under any provision of law or had Landlord not re-entered into or upon the Demised Premises.

 

28

**(e)**  If any statute or rule of law governing Landlord’s claim for damages will  limit the amount of such claim capable of being so proved and allowed, Landlord  will be entitled to prove as and for liquidated damages and have allowed an  amount equal to the maximum allowed by or under any such statute or rule of  law.

**25.8.**  Tenant, for itself and all claiming through or under Tenant, including, but  not limited to its creditors, upon the termination of this Lease by Landlord  in accordance with the terms hereof or in the event of re-entry or recovery  of possession of the Premises by process of law or otherwise, hereby waives  to the fullest extent permitted by law any right of redemption provided or permitted  by any statute, law or decision now or hereafter in force, and hereby waives,  surrenders and gives up all rights or privileges which it or they may or might  have under and by reason of any present or future law or decision to redeem  the Premises or for a continuation of this Lease after having been dispossessed  or ejected therefrom by process of law.

**25.9.** TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, LANDLORD AND TENANT HEREBY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING BROUGHT BY EITHER AGAINST THE OTHER WITH RESPECT TO ANY MATTER WHATSOEVER ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THIS LEASE, THE RELATIONSHIP OF LANDLORD AND TENANT OR TENANT’S USE OR OCCUPANCY OF THE PREMISES (OTHER THAN ANY SUIT FOR PERSONAL INJURY). 

**25.10.** In event of any Default, or any threatened breach by a party of any term, covenant, condition or provision of this Lease, the other party shall be entitled to enjoin such Default or threatened breach.

**25.11.** Each right and remedy of a party in this Lease shall be cumulative and in addition to every other right or remedy of such party in this Lease, or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity; and the exercise (or beginning of exercise) by a party of any one or more rights or remedies shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by such party of any and all other rights or remedies of such party in this Lease, or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity.

**ARTICLE 26.**Indemnification.

**26.1.** Tenant hereby agrees to indemnify Landlord and Landlord’s Affiliates and hold Landlord and Landlord’s Affiliates harmless from and against (and to pay the full amount of) all loss, liability, obligation, damage, penalty, tax, cost, claim, demand, judgment, charge, or expense (other than consequential damages) which Landlord and/or Landlord’s Affiliates may suffer, incur, or pay out, or which may be asserted against Landlord and/or Landlord’s Affiliates to the extent resulting from:

In such event, the indemnifying party shall deliver to the indemnified Persons copies of documents served in any Legal Proceeding and, whenever requested by the indemnified Persons, shall advise as to the status of such Legal Proceeding.

**ARTICLE 29.**No Waivers.

**29.1.** No agreement to accept a surrender of this Lease shall be valid unless in writing signed by Landlord. The delivery of keys to any Agent of Landlord shall not operate as a termination of this Lease or a surrender of the Premises. The failure of either party to seek redress for violation of or to insist upon the strict performance of, any covenant or condition of this Lease shall not prevent a subsequent act, which would have originally constituted a violation, from having all the force and effect of an original violation. 

**29.2.** This Lease contains the entire agreement between the parties, and any executory agreement hereafter made shall be ineffective to change, modify, discharge or effect an abandonment of it in whole or in part unless such executory agreement is in writing and signed by the party against whom enforcement of the change, modification, discharge or abandonment is sought.

**ARTICLE 30.**No Representations by Landlord; Landlord’s Interest; Transferee Landlords.  ****

**30.1.** Neither Landlord, Landlord’s Affiliates nor Landlord’s agents have made any representations or promises with respect to the Property or the Premises except as expressly set forth in this Lease.

**30.3.** Nothing contained in this Lease shall be deemed in any way to limit, restrict or otherwise affect Landlord’s absolute right at any time or times to convey Landlord’s interest in and to the Property, subject at all times to this Lease, or to assign its interest in this Lease, or to assign from time to time the whole or any portion of Fixed Rent or Additional Rent at any time paid or payable hereunder by Tenant to Landlord, to a lender, lessor or other transferee designated by Landlord in a notice to Tenant, and in any such case Tenant shall pay Fixed Rent and Additional Rent payable by Tenant to Landlord, or the portion thereof so assigned, subject to the provisions of this Lease, to Landlord’s designee at the address mentioned in any such Notice.

**30.4.** In the event of any transfer of title to the Property, or in the event of a lease of the Property, the transferor Landlord shall be and hereby is entirely freed and relieved of all covenants, obligations and liabilities of Landlord hereunder to be performed after the date of such transfer or lease of the Property, as the case may be, and it shall be deemed and construed as a covenant running with the land without further agreement between the parties or their successors in interest, or between the parties and the transferee of title to the Property or said lease, or the said lessee of the Property, provided that the transferee or the lessee, as applicable, has assumed and agreed to carry out any and all covenants, obligations and liabilities of Landlord accruing after the date of such transfer or lease of the Property, as the case may be. 

**ARTICLE 31.**Signage; Parking; Waiver of Zoning Rights.

At the termination of theLease, Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, remove such signs and restore and repair any resulting damage.

**31.2.** Landlord shall provide Tenant with 28 unassigned parking spaces for automobile parking in the Building parking area for use by Tenant and its employees during the Term, on a non-exclusive basis in common with other Tenants of the Building.

**32.2.** This Lease shall not be recorded by Tenant and any attempted or actual recording shall be a Default hereunder, provided, however, at Tenant’s request, Landlord will execute and permit to be recorded, as the case may be, a memorandum of lease and any Non-Disturbance Agreements.

**ARTICLE 33.**Renewal Term.

**33.1.** Provided no Default exists at the time of such election, Tenant may renew this Lease for one additional period of five (5) years, by delivering written notice of the exercise thereof to Landlord not later than two hundred seventy (270) days before the expiration of the Term. The Fixed Rent payable for each month during the Renewal Term shall be the greater of (x) the Fixed Rent during the last year of the original term, or (y) one hundred percent (100%) of the prevailing fair market rental rate (the “Prevailing Rental Rate”) at the commencement of the Renewal Term, taking into consideration all relevant factors for renewals of space of equivalent quality, size, utility and location, with the length of the Renewal Term, the credit standing of Tenant, any tenant inducements and the additional factors set forth below to be taken into account.

**33.2.** The Renewal Term shall be upon the same terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease as shall be in effect immediately prior to the renewal, except that: (i) Fixed Rent shall be adjusted to the greater of the Fixed Rent during the last year of the original Term or  Prevailing Rental Rate; (ii) Tenant shall have no further renewal option unless expressly granted by Landlord in writing; and (iii) Landlord shall lease to Tenant the Premises in their then-current condition, and Landlord shall not provide to Tenant any allowances (*e.g.*, moving allowance, construction allowance, and the like) or other tenant inducements, which factors shall be taken into consideration in determining the Prevailing Rental Rate.

**33.3.** For the purposes of determining the Prevailing Rental Rate, the following procedures shall apply:  

**(i)** Landlord shall give Tenant notice (the “Rent Notice”) not later than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the commencement of the Renewal Term, which Rent Notice shall set forth Landlord’s determination of the Prevailing Rental Rate (“Landlord’s Determination”);

**(ii)** Tenant shall give Landlord notice (“Tenant’s Notice”), within thirty (30) days after delivery of the Rent Notice, stating whether Tenant accepts or disputes the Landlord’s Determination or whether Tenant desires to terminate its exercise of the Renewal Option. If Tenant’s Notice accepts Landlord’s Determination or Tenant fails or refuses to give Tenant’s Notice, Tenant shall be deemed to have accepted Landlord’s Determination. If Tenant’s Notice disputes Landlord’s Determination, Tenant’s Notice shall specify Tenant’s determination of the Prevailing Rental Rate (“Tenant’s Determination”) as determined by an independent real estate appraiser;

 

34

**(iii)** Landlord shall give Tenant notice (“Landlord’s Notice”), within twenty (20) days after delivery of Tenant’s Determination, of whether Landlord accepts or disputes Tenant’s Determination. If Landlord’s Notice accepts Tenant’s Determination or if Landlord fails or refuses to give Landlord’s Notice, Landlord shall be deemed to have accepted Tenant’s Determination. If Landlord’s Notice disputes Tenant’s Determination, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant, within thirty (30) days after receipt of Tenant’s Notice, Landlord’s determination of the Prevailing Rental Rate (“Landlord’s Second Determination”), as determined by an independent real estate appraiser. If Landlord’s Second Determination exceeds Tenant’s Determination by ten percent (10%) or less, the Fixed Rent shall be theaverage of Landlord’s Second Determination and Tenant’s Determination. If Landlord’s Second Determination exceeds Tenant’s Determination by more than ten percent (10%), Landlord or Tenant shall apply to the American Arbitration Association (or any successor organization) to designate a third independent real estate appraiser (the “Third Appraiser”) in accordance with the then-prevailing rules, regulations and/or procedures of the American Arbitration Association, and if the American Arbitration Association (or any successor organization) shall be unable or unwilling to designate the Third Appraiser, then either party may commence a legal proceeding to have the Third Appraiser appointed.

**(iv)** The Third Appraiser shall conduct such hearings and investigations as he may deem appropriate and shall, within thirty (30) days after the date of designation of the Third Appraiser, choose either Landlord’s Second Determination or Tenant’s Determination, and such choice shall be conclusive and binding upon Landlord and Tenant. Each party shall pay its own counsel fees and expenses in connection with any arbitration hereunder, including  the expenses and fees of any appraiser selected by it in accordance with the terms hereof. The unsuccessful party shall bear the costs and expenses of the Third Appraiser. Any appraiser appointed hereunder shall be an independent real estate appraiser with at least ten (10) years experience in leasing and valuation of properties that are similar in character to the Building in the same geographic market area. Theappraisers shall not have the power to add to, modify or change any of the provisions of this Lease.

**(v)** If the final determination of the Prevailing Rental Rate shall not be made on or before the first day of the Renewal Term, pending such final determination, Tenant shall continue to pay, as the Fixed Rent for the Renewal Term, an amount equal to Landlord’s Determination (or, if Landlord shall have given Landlord’s Second Determination, Landlord’s Second Determination), which amount shall in all events be in addition to all Additional Rent payable under the terms of this Lease. If, based upon the final determination hereunder of the Fixed Rent, the payments made by Tenant on account of Fixed Rent for such portion of the Renewal Term were greater than the Fixed Rent payable for the Renewal Term, the amount of such excess shall be refunded by Landlord to Tenant within ten (10) business days following the final determination of Fixed Rent.

**(vi)** Landlord and Tenant shall promptly execute an amendment to this Lease evidencing the Renewal Term, but no such amendment shall be necessary in order to make the provisions hereof effective. 

**33.4.** Tenant’s rights hereunder shall terminate if (x) this Lease or Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises is terminated in accordance with terms of this Lease, (y) Tenant fails to timely exercise its option, time being of the essence with respect to Tenant’s exercise thereof, or (z) a Default exists at the time of exercise of the option or on the date the Renewal Term would commence.

 

35

**ARTICLE 34.**Miscellaneous.

**34.1.** This Lease shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State.

**34.2.** Any interest payable by a party under this Lease shall be at the Interest Rate, unless otherwise provided.

**34.3.** Schedules “A” and “B” and Exhibits “A” through “F” (and all accompanying schedules and appendices) to this Lease are incorporated in this Lease by reference.

**34.4.** The terms, covenants, conditions, and provisions of this Lease shall bind and inure to the benefit of Landlord and Tenant and their permitted legal representatives, successors, and assigns.

**34.5.** The unenforceability, invalidity, or illegality of any provision herein shall not render any other provision herein unenforceable, invalid, or illegal.

**34.6.** Wherever used in this Lease the words “include” or “including” shall be construed as incorporating “but not limited to” or “without limitation”; the phrase “at Tenant’s expense” or “at Landlord’s expense” means at the sole and exclusive expense of the respective party.

**34.7.** Wherever this Lease imposes any obligation upon Tenant or Landlord, or provides that Tenant or Landlord shall be responsible for any action or matter, the Lease shall be construed to mean that such party shall perform or undertake the matter at such party’s expense.

**34.8.** In the event either party commences a Legal Proceeding to enforce any of the terms of this Lease, the prevailing Party in such action shall have the right to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs from the other party, to be fixed by the court in the same action. The “prevailing Party” (i) as used in the context of Legal Proceedings in the Bankruptcy Court shall mean the prevailing Party in an adversary proceeding or contested matter, or any other actions taken by the non-bankruptcy Party which are reasonably necessary to protect its rights under this Lease, and (ii) as used in the context of Legal Proceedings in any court other than the Bankruptcy Court shall mean the Party that prevails in obtaining a remedy or relief which most nearly reflects the remedy or relief which the Party sought; so that, for example, the prevailing Party maybe a Party which is ordered to pay $100.00 where the obligation to pay $80.00 was undisputed and the claiming Party claimed that it was entitled to $1,000.00.

**34.9.** The captions of this document are for the convenience of the parties only and neither limit, nor amplify the provisions of this Lease.

**34.10.** Each party represents and warrants to the other that the execution, delivery and performance of this Lease has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate, limited liability company or partnership action. 

**34.11.** This Lease may be executed by the parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which, when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same agreement, and all signatures need not appear on any one counterpart.

**34.12.** In the event Landlord commits a material default in the performance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of the Lease, and such failure shall continue for thirty (30) days after Landlord’s receipt of written notice from Tenant which notice shall state the exact nature of the obligation of Landlord that Tenant maintains has not been performed, Tenant shall have the right (but not the obligation) to (i) perform such obligation on behalf of Landlord (“Tenant’s Self-Help Right”) in a commercially reasonable manner or (ii) terminate this Lease (“Tenant’s Termination Right”) upon written notice to Landlord, in both cases provided that no Default then exists. If Tenant exercises Tenant’s Self-Help Right, Tenant shall provide Landlord with a second written notice within fifteen (15) days thereafter which (y) itemizesTenant’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs resulting from the exercise of Tenant’s Self-Help Right (together with reasonable back-up documentation) and (z) states that Landlord shall be obligated to refund such costs to Tenant within thirty (30) days of the date of the notice. If Landlord does not refund such costs to Tenant within this time period, Tenant shall be permitted to deduct the amount set forth in the notice from the next payment(s) of Rent. Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, the parties acknowledge that, in the event Landlord cannot reasonably cure such failure within the thirty (30) day period, Tenant shall not be entitled to Tenant’s Self-Help Right or Tenant’s Termination Right so long as Landlord commences to cure such failure within the thirty (30) day period and proceeds diligently thereafter to seek to effect such cure.

 

36

**34.13.** Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, Tenant’s obligations regarding compliance with Legal Requirements shall be limited to such requirements as are applicable to Tenant’s particular use of the Premises and not requirements of general applicability to the Building, Property or the Premises.

**34.14.** Tenant may have access to the Premises 24 hours per day, 7 day per week, subject to the other provisions of this Lease. Tenant shall have the right to use in common with the other tenants of the Building, their invitees, customers and employees, the stairways, halls, toilets and sanitary facilities, and all other general common facilities contained in the Building, as well as the sidewalks, delivery areas and parking facilities, and appurtenances thereto, as shown on Schedule A annexed hereto.

**34.15.** Tenant represents and warrants that it is a Delaware corporation. 

**34.16.** Notwithstanding any contrary provisions, in the event that the Premises become unusable as a result of a loss of services (*e.g.* electrical, plumbing, HVAC, *etc.*) for seven (7) consecutive days, and such loss of service does not result from the actions or inactions of Tenant, its agents, servants, employees or contractors, Tenant shall be entitled to an abatement of Rent from the seventh consecutive day of such loss of service to the date when the service is restored. Such abatement shall be in direct proportion to the ratio of the area of the Premises so rendered unusable to the total area of the Premises.

**34.17**. The parties acknowledge that financial incentives offered by the State of New Jersey to businesses similar to Tenant, including without limitation, the New Jersey Economic Development Authority’s Business Employment Incentive Program (BEIP), are a material inducement for Tenant to enter into this Lease. The foregoing notwithstanding, Tenant acknowledges that Landlord has not made any representation as to the availability of funds from the BEIP or similar program, and Tenant’s obligations under this Lease shall not be conditioned upon, nor affected by, the receipt of or failure to receive any such financial incentives.
