WITNESSETH,
THAT:

 

1.                                      DEMISED PREMISES.   Landlord,
for the Term and subject to the provisions and conditions hereof, leases to Tenant
and Tenant accepts from Landlord, the Demised Premises.

 

2.                                      TERM.  Tenant
shall use and occupy the Demised Premises for the Term, unless sooner
terminated as herein provided. The first lease year of the Term shall commence on
the Commencement Date and shall end on (i) the day immediately preceding
the first anniversary of the Commencement Date, if the Commencement Date is the
first day of the month, or (ii) the last day of the month in which the
first anniversary of the Commencement Date occurs, if the Commencement Date is
any day other than the first day of a calendar month.  Each lease year after the first lease year
shall be a consecutive twelve (12) month period commencing on the first day of
the calendar month immediately following the preceding lease year, except that
the last lease year shall be the period from the first day of Tenant’s partial lease
year occurring at the end of the Term until the Expiration Date.

 

3.                                      MINIMUM RENT.

 

(a)                                  During the Term of this Lease, Tenant shall
pay to Landlord the Annual Base Rent in the amount set forth in Section 10
of the Fundamental Lease Provisions (subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 37
hereof). Such Base Rent shall be payable in equal monthly installments in
advance on the first day of each calendar month.

 

(b)                                 The term “rent” as used in this Lease shall
mean the Annual Base Rent, Taxes, Operating Expenses and any other additional
rent or other sums payable by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease, all of which
shall be deemed rent for purposes of Landlord’s rights and remedies with
respect thereto.

 

(c)                                  The first installment of rent shall be
payable on the Commencement Date.  If the
Term begins on a day other than the first day of a month, rent from such day
until the first day of the following month shall be prorated at the rate of
one-thirtieth of the monthly rental for each day of such partial month, and the
installment of rent paid on the Commencement Date shall be applied to the rent
due for the first full calendar month of the Term hereof. If the Term begins on
any day other than the first day of a month, any rent paid by Tenant to General
Sullivan Group under the Existing Lease (as hereinafter defined) attributable
to the period from the Commencement Date through the last day of the month in
which the Commencement Date occurs shall be applied against the first rents
payable hereunder

 

(d)                                 All rent and other sums due to Landlord
hereunder shall be payable to Landlord’s Property Manager at the address
specified in Section 12 of the Fundamental Lease Provisions, or to such
other party or at such other address as Landlord may designate from time to
time, by written notice to Tenant, without demand and without deduction,
set-off or counterclaim (except to the extent demand or notice shall be expressly
provided for herein).

 

(e)                                  If Landlord, at any time or times, shall
accept said rent or any other sum due to it hereunder after the same shall
become due and payable, such acceptance shall not excuse delay upon subsequent
occasions, or constitute or be construed as, a waiver of any of Landlord’s
rights hereunder.

4.                                      TAXES AND OPERATING COSTS:

 

(a)                                  Definitions. As used herein, the following
terms shall be defined as hereinafter set forth.

 

(i)                                     “Taxes” shall mean all real estate taxes and
assessments, general and special, ordinary or extraordinary, foreseen or
unforeseen, imposed upon the Property or with respect to the ownership thereof.
If, due to a future change in the method of taxation, any franchise, income,
profit or other tax, however designated, shall be levied or imposed in
substitution in whole or in part for (or in lieu of) any tax which would
otherwise be included within the term “Taxes” as defined herein, then the same
shall be included in the term “Taxes.”

 

(ii)                                  (A) ”Operating Expenses”
shall mean, except as hereinafter limited, Landlord’s actual out-of-pocket
expenses in respect of the operation, maintenance and management of the
Property and shall include, without limitation: (1) wages and salaries
(and taxes imposed upon employers) with respect to those employed by Landlord
for rendering service in the normal operation, cleaning, maintenance, repair
and replacement of the Property; (2) costs for the operation, maintenance,
repair and replacement of the Property, including payments to contractors; (3) the
cost of steam, electricity, water and sewer and other utilities (except for
electricity, which is separately charged by Landlord as herein provided)
chargeable to the operation and maintenance of the Property; (4) cost of
insurance for the Property including fire and extended coverage, elevator,
boiler, sprinkler leakage, water damage, public liability and property damage,
environmental, plate glass, and rent protection, but excluding any charge for
increased premiums due to acts or omissions of other occupants of the Building
or because of extra risk; (5) supplies; (6) legal and accounting
expenses directly related to the operation and management of the Property; (7) Taxes;
(8) reasonable management expense; and (9) all other costs and
expenses incurred by or on behalf of Landlord in connection with the repair,
replacement, operation, maintenance, securing, insuring and policing the
Property.

 

The
term “Operating Expenses” shall not include:
(1) the cost of any repair or replacement item which, by standard
accounting practice, should be capitalized, except that any capital expenses
shall be amortized by Landlord over the useful life of such expense and only
the annual amortized portion of such expense together with an interest factor
equal to the Prime Rate of interest as published from time to time in The
Wall Street Journal plus two percent (2%) shall be included in annual
Operating Expenses; (2) any charge for depreciation, interest on encumbrances
or ground rents paid or incurred by Landlord; (3) any charge for Landlord’s
income tax, excess profit taxes, franchise taxes or similar taxes on Landlord’s
business; (4) commissions; (5) costs actually reimbursed by insurance
proceeds; (6) cost of excess insurance premiums attributable to the acts
of other tenants in the Building; (7) fees and expenses paid to Landlord
or an affiliate of Landlord for services to the extent that such fees and
expenses are above a reasonably competitive rate; and (8) legal fees
incurred in connection with the negotiation and preparation of tenant leases
and enforcement of tenant leases.

 

(B)                                In determining Operating Expenses for any
year, if less than ninety-five percent (95%) of the Building rentable area
shall have been occupied by tenants at any time during such year, Operating
Expenses shall be deemed for such year to be an amount equal to the like
expenses which Landlord reasonably determines would normally be incurred had
such occupancy been ninety-five percent (95%) throughout such year.

 

5

 

(b)                                 Payment of Operating Expenses.

 

(i)                                     For and with respect to each calendar year of
the Term (including any renewals or extensions thereof), there shall accrue, as
additional rent, an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying Tenant’s
Fraction by the amount of the Operating Expenses for such year (appropriately
prorated for any partial calendar year included within the beginning and end of
the Term).

 

(ii)                                  Landlord shall furnish to Tenant as soon as
reasonably possible after the beginning of each calendar year of the Term;

 

(A)                              A statement (the “Expense
Statement”) setting forth (1) Operating Expenses for the previous
calendar year, and (2) Tenant’s Fraction of the Operating Expenses for the
previous calendar year; and

 

(B)                                A statement of Landlord’s good faith estimate
of Operating Expenses, and the amount of Tenant’s Fraction thereof (the “Estimated Share”), for the current calendar year.

 

(iii)                               Within fifteen (15) days after Tenant receives
the Expense Statement, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the difference, if
positive, between the Tenant’s Fraction of Operating Expenses for such previous
year and the actual payments made by Tenant during such calendar year, or if
the actual payments exceed Tenant’s Fraction of Operating Expenses for such
previous year, Tenant shall receive a credit against the next payments of
Operating Expenses falling due. Unless Tenant shall give notice to Landlord
within ninety (90) days after any Expense Statement is furnished that Tenant
disputes said statement, specifying in detail the basis for such dispute, each
Expense Statement furnished to Tenant by Landlord under this Section shall
be conclusively binding upon Tenant as to the Operating Expenses due from
Tenant for the period represented thereby; provided, however, that additional
amounts due may be required to be paid by any supplemental statement furnished
by Landlord, subject to Tenant’s right to contest within the time periods
prescribed by this subparagraph. Pending resolution of any dispute, Tenant
shall pay the additional rent in accordance with the Expense Statement
furnished by Landlord. Tenant shall have the right, within such ninety (90) day
period following the delivery of such Expense Statement, to audit and/or review
the books and records of Landlord through a reputable certified public
accounting firm at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, provided, however, that
Landlord may condition such audit or review upon Tenant and such accounting
firm signing a confidentiality agreement in form and substance satisfactory to
Landlord. Such audit shall be conducted at the office of Landlord’s Property
Manager or such other office where the books and records relating to the
Building are available during business hours. If, as a result of such audit or
review, it is determined that there is an error in any Expense Statement
relating to Operating Expenses, the Expense Statement shall be adjusted
accordingly and (i) any overpayments by Tenant during the preceding
calendar year shall be credited against the next payment(s) of Operating
Expenses falling due, and (ii) any deficiency shall be paid by Tenant
together with the next payment of Operating Expenses falling due.

 

(iv)                              Together with the next installment of Base
Rent due after delivery of the foregoing statements to Tenant, Tenant shall pay
to Landlord, on account of its share of Operating Expenses, the difference
between (A) one-twelfth (1/12) of the new Estimated Share multiplied by
the number of full or partial calendar months elapsed during the current
calendar year up to and including the month payment is made less (B) the
sum of the Operating

 

6

 

Expenses
previously paid to Landlord by Tenant on account of such period, plus any
amounts due from Tenant to Landlord on account of Operating Expenses for prior
periods of time.

 

(v)                                 On the first day of each month up to the time
Tenant shall receive a new and statement of Tenant’s Estimated Share, Tenant
shall pay to Landlord, on account of its share of Operating Expenses,
one-twelfth of the then current Estimated Share. Any payment due from Tenant to
Landlord on account of Operating Expenses not yet determined as of the
expiration of the Term shall be made within twenty (20) days after submission
to Tenant of the applicable Expense Statement, subject to Tenant’s right to
contest within the time periods prescribed by subparagraph (iii) above.

 

(c)                                  Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, Tenant shall be responsible for 100% of all repair and replacement
costs (as opposed to general maintenance) incurred by Landlord with respect to
Tenant’s parking area as delineated on Exhibit A-1 attached hereto and
made a part hereof.

 

5.                                      UTILITIES SEPARATELY CHARGED TO
DEMISED PREMISES.  Tenant shall be responsible for all utilities
(including gas and electric) which are consumed within the Demised Premises. Landlord
agrees to install a submeter to measure Tenant’s electricity consumption in all
or a portion of the Demised Premises. Tenant shall pay for its consumption of
electricity (i) based on its metered usage with respect to the portion of
the Demised Premises covered by such submeter, and (ii) with respect to
the balance of the Demised Premises, based on Tenant’s pro-rata share as
determined by Landlord in Landlord’s reasonable judgment.  With respect to utilities other than
electric, if a separate meter is installed, Tenant shall pay for the
consumption of such utilities based on its metered usage. If no meter is
installed, Tenant shall pay a pro-rata share of any utility charges covering
the Demised Premises and other areas of the Building, which pro-rata share
shall be based on the percentage which the Tenant’s GLA bears to the square
footage of the areas of the Building serviced by such utility. Tenant shall pay
utility bills within ten (10) days after the receipt. Landlord shall have
the right, to be exercised by written notice to Tenant, to direct Tenant to
contract directly with the utility provider supplying electricity and/or gas
service to the Building, in which event Tenant shall pay all charges therefor
directly to the utility provider. Landlord shall at all times have the
exclusive right to select the provider or providers of utility service to the Demised
Premises and the Property, and Landlord shall have the right of access to the
Demised Premises from time to time to install or remove utility facilities.

 

6.                                      SECURITY DEPOSIT. INTENTIONALLY
OMITTED.

 

7.                                      SERVICES. 
Landlord agrees that it shall:

 

(a)                                  Provide passenger elevator service to the
Demised Premises during all days with one (1) elevator subject to call at
all times. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no elevator service will be provided
if the Building does not have a passenger elevator or if the Demised Premises
is located on the first floor of the Building.

 

(b)                                 Provide water for drinking, lavatory and
toilet purposes drawn through fixtures installed by Landlord; and

 

(c)                                  Furnish the Demised Premises with electric
for heating, hot and chilled water, and air conditioning (which air
conditioning shall be with respect to the office portion of the Demised
Premises only). Tenant acknowledges that Tenant shall be responsible for

 

7

 

supplying
and maintaining, at its sole cost and expense, any and all additional heating,
ventilating and air conditioning equipment required by Tenant which is not in
the Demised Premises as of the date hereof.

 

(d)                                 Operate, maintain and repair the Building
(other than individual tenant spaces) and the roof, structure and common areas
thereof, in good order and repair and in accordance with all laws.

 

It is understood that Landlord does not warrant that any of the
services referred to in this Section 7 will be free from interruption from
causes beyond the reasonable control of Landlord. No interruption of service
shall ever be deemed an eviction or disturbance of Tenant’s use and possession
of the Demised Premises or any part thereof or permit Tenant to abate rent or
otherwise relieve Tenant from performance of Tenant’s obligations under this
Lease.

 

8.                                      CARE OF DEMISED PREMISES.  Tenant
agrees, on behalf of itself, its employees and agents that it shall:

 

(a)                                  Comply at all times with any and all federal,
state and local statutes, regulations, ordinances, and other requirements of
any of the constituted public authorities relating to its use and occupancy of
the Demised Premises.

 

(b)                                 Give Landlord access to the Demised Premises
at all reasonable times, without charge or diminution of rent, to enable
Landlord (i) upon reasonable notice (except in the event of emergency), to
examine the same and to make such repairs, additions and alterations as
Landlord may be permitted to make hereunder or as Landlord may deem advisable
for the preservation of the integrity, safety and good order of the Building or
any part thereof; and (ii) upon reasonable notice, to show the Demised
Premises to prospective mortgagees and purchasers (including, without
limitation, their respective appraisers, engineers and inspectors) and, during
the six (6) months prior to expiration of the Term, to prospective tenants.
Landlord agrees that it shall not unreasonably interfere with the conduct of
Tenant’s business operations in the Demised Premises in exercising Landlord’s
rights under this subparagraph;

 

(c)                                  Maintain, repair and replace the interior of
the Demised Premises in good order and repair as and when needed, including,
without limitation, any heating, ventilating and air conditioning systems
installed by Tenant servicing the Demised Premises, and replace all glass
broken by Tenant, its agents, employees or invitees with glass of the same
quality as that broken, except for glass broken by fire and extended
coverage-type risks, and commit no waste in the Demised Premises;

 

(d)                                 Upon the expiration or earlier termination of
this Lease, remove Tenant’s goods and effects and those of any other person
claiming under Tenant, and quit and deliver up the Demised Premises to Landlord
peaceably and quietly in as good order and condition as existed at the
inception of the Term, reasonable use and wear thereof, damage from fire and
extended coverage type risks, and repairs which are Landlord’s obligation
excepted. Goods and effects not removed by Tenant at the termination of this
Lease, however terminated, shall be considered abandoned and Landlord may
dispose of and/or store the same as it deems expedient, the cost thereof to be
charged to Tenant;

 

(e)                                  Not place signs on the exterior of the
Demised Premises except on doors and then only of a type and with lettering and
text approved by Landlord. Notwithstanding the

 

8

 

foregoing,
Tenant shall be entitled to maintain its existing signs at the Demised
Premises, which right shall include the right to replace such signage with
similar signage approved by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld.

 

(f)                                    Not overload, damage or deface the Demised
Premises or do any act which might make void or voidable any insurance on the
Demised Premises or the Building or which may render an increased or extra
premium payable for insurance (and without prejudice to any right or remedy of
Landlord regarding this subparagraph, Landlord shall have the right to collect
from Tenant, upon demand, any such increase or extra premium). Tenant shall
maintain at its own sole cost adequate insurance coverage for all of its
equipment, furniture, supplies and fixtures and provide Landlord with
certificates evidencing such coverage;

 

(g)                                 Not make any alteration of or addition to the
Demised Premises which impairs the structural integrity of the Building or
adversely affects any heating, ventilating, air conditioning, electric,
sanitary, elevator or other systems serving the Demised Premises or any other
portion of the Building, in each case without the prior written approval of
Landlord;

 

(h)                                 Not install any equipment of any kind
whatsoever which might necessitate any changes, replacements or additions to
any of the heating, ventilating, air-conditioning, electric, sanitary, elevator
or other systems serving the Demised Premises or any other portion of the
Building, or to any of the services required of Landlord under this Lease,
without the prior written approval of Landlord, and in the event such consent
is granted, such replacements, changes or additions shall be paid for by Tenant
at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. At the expiration or earlier termination of
this Lease, Tenant shall pay Landlord’s cost of restoring such systems to their
condition prior to such replacements, changes or additions; and

 

(i)                                  Observe the rules and regulations
annexed hereto as Exhibit “C,”
as Landlord may from time to time amend the same, for the general safety,
comfort and convenience of Landlord, occupants and tenants of the Building.

 

9.                                      SUBLETTING AND ASSIGNING.  Tenant
shall not assign, mortgage or encumber this Lease or sublet all or any portion
of the Demised Premises, whether voluntarily or by operation of law, without
first obtaining Landlord’s prior written consent thereto, which consent shall
not be unreasonably be withheld. A transfer or sale by Tenant of a majority of
the voting shares, partnership interests or other controlling interests in
Tenant shall constitute an assignment of this Lease by Tenant and shall require
Landlord’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld. If such consent is given, it will not release Tenant from its
obligations hereunder and will not be deemed a consent to any further
subletting or assignment. If Landlord consents to any such subletting or
assignment, it shall nevertheless be a condition to the effectiveness thereof
that a fully executed copy of the sublease or assignment, in form and substance
satisfactory to Landlord, be furnished to Landlord and that any assignee assume
in writing all obligations of Tenant hereunder. If Landlord consents to any assignment
or subletting, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as additional rent hereunder, 100%
of any subrents, other sums or other economic consideration received by Tenant
on account of such assignment or subletting (after deducting Tenant’s
reasonable costs incurred in connection with such assignment or subletting)
which exceed the monthly rent payable by Tenant hereunder. The acceptance of
rental from any other person shall not be deemed a waiver by Landlord of any
provision hereunder.

 

10.                               CONDITION TO LEASE.  Tenant
acknowledges that as of the date hereof, Landlord has not yet acquired fee
simple title to the Property and that this Lease, and all of the

 

9

 

terms,
provisions and obligations set forth herein, are expressly conditioned upon
Landlord acquiring fee simple title to the Property.

 

11.                               FIRE OR CASUALTY.  In
case of damage to the Demised Premises or the Building by fire or other
casualty, Tenant shall give immediate notice thereof to Landlord. Landlord
shall thereupon cause the damage to be repaired with reasonable speed, subject
to delays, which may arise by reason of adjustment of loss under insurance
policies and for delays beyond the reasonable control of Landlord. To the
extent and for the time that the Demised Premises or portions thereof are
thereby rendered untenantable, the rent shall proportionately abate. Provided
that there are sufficient insurance proceeds available to fully repair such
damage, Landlord agrees to repair such damage unless any mortgagee, having the
right to do so, shall direct that the insurance proceeds are to be applied to
reduce the mortgage debt rather than to the repair of such damage (provided,
however, that, Landlord agrees to request that the mortgagee apply such
insurance proceeds to the repair of such damage and to use reasonable efforts
to cause such insurance proceeds to be so applied, unless such mortgagee shall have
succeeded to Landlord’s interest in the Property by foreclosure or otherwise,
in which event this parenthetical shall not apply). Landlord shall provide
written notice to Tenant within sixty (60) days after Landlord is notified of
the casualty as to whether the damage will be repaired in accordance with the
foregoing provisions. If Landlord is not required to repair such damage
hereunder and Landlord’s notice provides that Landlord will not repair the
damage, then either Landlord or Tenant shall have the right to terminate this
Lease exercisable by written notice to the other party within thirty (30) days
thereafter. In such event the Lease shall terminate as of the date specified in
Landlord’s or Tenant’s notice (which shall not be more than ninety (90) days
thereafter), and the rent (taking into account any abatement as aforesaid)
shall be adjusted to the termination date. e. If Landlord is required to repair
or rebuild the Demised Premises (specifically excluding, however, Tenant’s
furniture, trade fixtures, equipment and personal property, which shall be
Tenant’s responsibility) or elects to repair or rebuild in accordance with the
last sentence of this Section, and such restoration is not completed within two
hundred seventy days following the date of the casualty (subject, however, to
delays caused by force majeure), then (unless such casualty shall have been
caused by Tenant’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, in which event
Tenant shall not have any right to terminate pursuant to this sentence) Tenant
shall have the right to terminate this Lease by providing written notice
thereof to Landlord within thirty (30) days after the expiration of such twelve
month period. Thereafter, Tenant shall promptly vacate the Demised Premises.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any casualty shall occur
during the final forty-five (45) months of the Term or any renewal thereof and
the cost of repairing said damage exceeds $250,000, then Landlord shall have
the right to condition its obligation to repair, such damage (subject,
nevertheless, to the conditions set forth in the third sentence of this Section 11)
on: (i) Tenant waiving its right to terminate the Lease pursuant to Section 38
hereof, and (ii) Tenant extending the term of this Lease so that the
remaining term shall be at least five (5) years under the same terms and
conditions set forth herein, except that the rental rate for the extended
portion of the term shall be the “fair market rent” as determined in accordance
with Section 36 hereof.  Tenant
shall provide Landlord with written notice as to whether Tenant agrees to waive
its right to terminate and to extend the term as aforesaid within 30 days after
receipt of Landlord’s notice. If Tenant elects not to waive its right to
terminate and to extend the term as aforesaid or fails to so advise Landlord
within such thirty (30) day period (in which event Tenant shall be deemed to
have elected not to waive its right to terminate and extend the term), then
Landlord shall have the right, at its election by providing written notice to
Tenant, to terminate this Lease (regardless of whether or not Landlord intends
to rebuild) or to continue to recognize the Lease, in which latter event
Landlord shall be required to repair or rebuild in accordance with the
foregoing provisions of this Section.

12.                               LIABILITY.  Tenant agrees that Landlord and its building
manager and their officers, employees and agents shall not be liable to Tenant,
and Tenant hereby releases said parties, for any personal injury or damage to
or loss of personal property in the Demised Premises from any cause whatsoever
unless such damage, loss or injury is the result of (i) the negligence or
willful misconduct of Landlord, its building manager, or their officers,
employees or agents or (ii) the failure by Landlord to fully perform its
obligations under this Lease, provided, however, that Landlord and its building manager and their officers or employees shall
not be liable to Tenant for any such damage or loss whether or not the result
of their negligence or Landlord’s failure to perform its obligations hereunder
to the extent Tenant would be covered by insurance that Tenant is required to
carry hereunder. Tenant shall and does hereby indemnify and hold Landlord
harmless of and from all loss or liability incurred by Landlord (including,
without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees) in connection with any failure
of Tenant to fully perform its obligations under this Lease and in connection with
any personal injury or damage of any type or nature occurring in or resulting
out of Tenant’s use of the Demised Premises, unless due to Landlord’s negligence
or willful misconduct or its failure to perform its obligations under this
lease.  Landlord shall and does hereby indemnify and hold Tenant harmless of
and from all loss or liability incurred by Tenant (including without
limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) in connection with (i) the
negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or (ii) Landlord’s failure to
perform its obligations under this lease.

 

13.                                 EMINENT DOMAIN.  If
(i) the whole or a substantial part of the Building or the Property shall
be taken or condemned for a public or quasi-public use under any statute or by right
of eminent domain or private purchase in lieu thereof by any competent
authority, or (ii) the whole or a substantial part of the Demised Premises
shall be taken or condemned for a public or quasi-public use under an statute
or by right of eminent domain or private purchase in lieu thereof by any
competent authority and the balance of the Demised Premises shall no longer be suitable
for Tenant’s use, then this Lease shall terminate effective as of the date that
the right to possession shall vest in the condemning authority (as set forth in
the original notice of condemnation from the condemning authority) and neither
party shall have any further rights liabilities or obligations hereunder
accruing from and after the effective date of termination.  Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord
and shall not have any claim or right to any portion of the amount that may be
awarded as damages or paid as a result of any such condemnation or purchase;
and all right of the Tenant to damages therefore are hereby assigned by Tenant
to Landlord. The foregoing shall not, however, deprive Tenant of any separate
award for moving expenses or for any other award which would not reduce the
award payable to Landlord.

 

14.                               INSOLVENCY.  (a) The appointment of a receiver or trustee to take possession of
all or a portion of the assets of Tenant, or (b) an assignment by Tenant
for the benefit of creditors, or (c) the institution by or against Tenant
of any proceedings for bankruptcy or reorganization under any state or federal
law (unless in the case of involuntary proceedings, the same shall be dismissed
within thirty (30) days after institution), or (d) any execution issued against
Tenant which is not stayed or discharged within fifteen (15) days after
issuance of any execution sale of the assets of Tenant, shall constitute a
breach of this Lease by Tenant.  Landlord
in the event of such a breach, shall have, without need of further notice, the
rights enumerated in Section 15 herein.

 

15.                               DEFAULT.

 

(a)                                  If Tenant shall fail to pay rent or any other
sum payable to Landlord hereunder when due and such failure continues for five (5) days
after written notice from Landlord (provided that Landlord shall not be
required to provide written notice more than two times during any twelve month
period), or if Tenant shall fail to perform or observe any of the other
covenants, terms or conditions contained in this Lease and such failure
continues for fifteen (15) days after written notice from Landlord (or such
longer period as is reasonably

 

11

 

required
to correct any such non-monetary default, provided Tenant promptly commences
and diligently continues to effectuate a cure), or if any of the events
specified in Section 14 occur, then and in any of said cases (notwithstanding
any former breach of covenant or waiver thereof in a former instance),
Landlord, in addition to all other rights and remedies available to it by law
or equity or by any other provisions hereof, may at any time thereafter:

 

(i)                                     upon three (3) days notice to Tenant,
declare to be immediately due and payable, a sum equal to the Accelerated Rent
Component (as hereinafter defined), and Tenant shall remain liable to Landlord
as hereinafter provided; and/or

 

(ii)                                  whether or not Landlord has elected to recover
the Accelerated Rent Component, terminate this Lease on at least five (5) days
notice to Tenant and, on the date specified in said notice, this Lease and the
Term hereby demised and all rights of Tenant hereunder shall expire and
terminate and Tenant shall thereupon quit and surrender possession of the
Demised Premises to Landlord in the condition elsewhere herein required and
Tenant shall remain liable to Landlord as hereinafter provided.

 

(b)                                 For purposes herein, the Accelerated Rent
Component shall mean the aggregate of:

 

(i)                                     all rent and other charges, payments, costs
and expenses due from Tenant to Landlord and in arrears at the time of the
election of Landlord to recover the Accelerated Rent Component;

 

(ii)                                  the Annual Base Rent reserved for the then
entire unexpired balance of the Term (provided, however, that for purposes of
this Section, the Annual Base Rent reserved for the balance of the term shall
be calculated as if Tenant had elected to terminate the Lease pursuant to Section 38
hereof effective as of the date which is the later of (A) nine (9) months
after the date of default, and (B) the first day of the eighth (8th)
lease year, and the applicable Early Termination Fee shall be deemed to be the
Annual Base Rent payable for the period commencing on the effective date of
termination through the Expiration Date), plus all other charges, payments,
costs and expenses herein agreed to be paid by Tenant up to the end of the Term
which shall be capable of precise determination at the time of Landlord’s
election to recover the Accelerated Rent Component; and

 

(iii)                               Landlord’s good faith estimate of all
charges, payments, costs and expenses herein agreed to be paid by Tenant up to
the end of the Term which shall not be capable of precise determination as
aforesaid (and for such purposes no estimate of any component of the additional
rent to accrue pursuant to the provisions of Section 4 and Section 5
hereof shall be less than the amount which would be due if each such component
continued at the highest monthly rate or amount in effect during the twelve
(12) months immediately preceding the default).

 

(c)                                  In any case in which this Lease shall have
been terminated, or in any case in which Landlord shall have elected to recover
the Accelerated Rent Component and any portion of such sum shall remain unpaid,
Landlord may without further notice, enter upon and repossess the Demised
Premises, by force, summary proceedings, ejectment or otherwise, and may
dispossess Tenant and remove Tenant and all other persons and property from the
Demised Premises and may have, hold and enjoy the Demised Premises and the
rents and profits therefrom. Landlord may, in its own name, as agent for
Tenant, if this Lease has not been terminated, or in its own behalf, if this
Lease has been terminated, relet the Demised Premises or any part thereof for
such term or terms (which may be greater or less than the

 

12

 

period
which would otherwise have constituted the balance of the Term) and on such
terms (which may include concessions of free rent) as Landlord in its sole
discretion may determine. Landlord may, in connection with any such reletting,
cause the Demised Premises to be decorated, altered, divided, consolidated with
other space or otherwise changed or prepared for reletting. No reletting shall
be deemed a surrender and acceptance of the Demised Premises.

 

(d)                                 In the event Landlord shall, after default or
breach by Tenant, recover the Accelerated Rent Component from Tenant and Landlord
subsequently relets the Demised Premises, and it shall be determined that a
credit is due Tenant because there are net proceeds of reletting (after
deducting Landlord’s costs of reletting pursuant to subparagraph (c) as
aforesaid), then Landlord shall refund such excess proceeds to Tenant on a
monthly basis, without interest (which refund shall in no event exceed the
amount of the Accelerated Rent Component paid to Landlord by Tenant) promptly
after such determination.

 

(e)                                  Landlord agrees to use reasonable efforts to
relet the Demised Premises subsequent to any termination of the Lease or
retaking of possession by Landlord pursuant to the provisions of this Section;
provided, however, that the foregoing shall not require Landlord to lease the
Demised Premises over other unoccupied space on the Property.

 

(f)                                    As an additional and cumulative remedy of
Landlord in the event of termination of this Lease by Landlord following any
breach or default by Tenant, Landlord, at its option, shall be entitled to
recover damages for such breach in an amount equal to the Accelerated Rent
Component (determined from and after the date of Landlord’s election under this
subsection (f)) less the fair rental value of the Demised Premises for the
remainder of the term of this Lease (taken without regard to the early
termination) and such damages shall be payable by Tenant upon demand. Nothing
contained in this Lease shall limit or prejudice the right of Landlord to prove
and obtain as damages incident to a termination of this Lease, in any bankruptcy
reorganization or other court proceedings, the maximum amount allowed by any statute
or rule of law in effect with such damages are to be proved.

 

(g)                                 Tenant hereby waives all errors and defects
of a procedural nature in any proceedings brought against it by Landlord under
this Lease. Tenant further waives the right to any notices to quit as may be
specified by applicable law, and agrees that five (5) days notice shall be
sufficient in any case where a longer period may be statutorily specified.

 

(h)                                 If rent or any other sum due from Tenant to
Landlord shall be overdue for more than five (5) days after the due date
therefor, it shall thereafter bear interest at the rate of twelve percent (12%)
per annum (or, if lower, the highest legal rate) until paid.

 

16.                               SUBORDINATION.  This
Lease is and shall be subject and subordinate to all the terms and conditions
of all underlying mortgages and to all ground or underlying leases of the
entire Building which may now or hereafter encumber the Building and/or the
Property and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and
extensions thereof., provided that the holder of any such mortgage shall have
provided to Tenant a nondisturbance agreement which shall provide, inter
alia, that (a) Tenant’s rights under this Lease shall not be
extinguished by any foreclosure or other enforcement proceedings so long as
Tenant is not in default under this Lease (b) subject to the foregoing,
the Tenant’s rights under this Lease are subordinate to the rights of the
holder of such mortgagee, and (c) Tenant shall attorn to the holder of
such mortgage. Tenant shall execute, within five (5) days after request,
any certificate that Landlord may reasonably require acknowledging such
subordination provided the same incorporates the foregoing provisions. If
Landlord has attached to this Lease, or

 

13

 

subsequently
delivers to Tenant, a form of subordination agreement (which includes the
foregoing provisions) required by Landlord’s lender, Tenant shall execute and
return the same to Landlord within five (5) days after receipt thereof by
Tenant.

 

17.                               NOTICES.  All
bills, statements, notices or communications which Landlord may desire or be
required to give to Tenant shall be deemed sufficiently given or rendered if in
writing and either delivered to an officer of Tenant or sent by registered,
certified mail or a nationally recognized overnight delivery service addressed
to Tenant at the Building, or to such other place designated by Tenant in
writing to Landlord, and the time of the giving of such notice or
communication. Any notice by Tenant to Landlord must be served by registered or
certified mail or a nationally recognized overnight delivery service, addressed
to Landlord at Landlord’s notice address set forth in Section 7 of the
Fundamental Lease Provisions, and copies of the same shall also be sent to the
Property Manager. All notices and demands shall be deemed given or served upon
the date of receipt, if delivered personally, or three (3) business days
after the date deposited with the United States Postal Service, or one (1) business
day delivered after the date delivered to the overnight delivery service.

 

18.                               HOLDING-OVER.  Should
Tenant continue to occupy the Demised Premises after the expiration of the
Term, including any renewal or renewals thereof, or after a forfeiture incurred,
such tenancy shall (without limitation of any of Landlord’s rights or remedies
therefor) be one at sufferance at a minimum monthly rental equal to twice the
rent payable for the last month of the Term.

 

19.                               MISCELLANEOUS.

 

(a)                                  Tenant represents and warrants that it has
not employed any broker or agent as its representative in the negotiation for
or the obtaining of this Lease other than Tenant’s Broker set forth in Section 13
of the Fundamental Lease Provisions, and Tenant agrees to indemnify and hold
Landlord harmless from any and all cost or liability for compensation claimed
by any broker or agent with whom it has dealt.

 

(b)                                 The word “Tenant” as used in this Lease shall
be construed to mean tenants in all cases where there is more than one tenant,
and the necessary grammatical changes required to make the provisions hereof
apply to corporations, partnerships or individuals, men or women, shall in all
cases be assumed as though in each case fully expressed. This Lease shall not
inure to the benefit of any assignee, heir, legal representative, transferee or
successor of Tenant except upon the express written consent or election of Landlord.
Subject to the foregoing limitation, each provision hereof shall extend to and
shall, as the case may require, bind and inure to the benefit of Tenant and its
heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns.

 

(c)                                  The term “Landlord” as used in this Lease
means the fee owner of the Building or, if different, the party holding and
exercising the right, as against all others (except tenants of the Building) to
possession of the entire Building. In the event of the voluntary transfer of
such ownership or right to a successor-in-interest of Landlord, Landlord shall
be freed and relieved of all liability and obligation hereunder which shall
thereafter accrue (and, as to any unapplied portion of Tenant’s security
deposit, Landlord shall be relieved of all liability therefor upon transfer of
such portion to its successor in interest) and Tenant shall look solely to such
successor in interest for the performance of the covenants and obligations of
the Landlord hereunder (either in terms of ownership or possessory rights). The
successor in interest shall not (i) be liable for any previous act or
omission of a prior landlord; (ii) be subject to any rental

 

14

 

offsets
or defenses against a prior landlord; (iii) be bound by any payment by
Tenant of rent in advance in excess of one (1) month’s rent; or (iv) be
liable for any security not actually received by it. Subject to the foregoing,
the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the successors
and assigns of Landlord. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
this Lease, it is expressly understood and agreed by Tenant that none of
Landlord’s covenants, undertakings or agreements are made or intended as
personal covenants, undertakings or agreements by Landlord or its partners,
shareholders or trustees, or any of their respective partners, shareholders or
trustees, and any liability for damage or breach or nonperformance by Landlord,
or for Landlord’s negligence, shall be collectible only out of Landlord’s
interest in the Building (or to the extent of any sales proceeds received by
Landlord on account of the sale of the Property so long as such breach by
Landlord accrued prior to the date of the transfer of Landlord’s interest in
the Property and Tenant shall have provided written notice thereof to Landlord
prior to the transfer of Landlord’s interest in the Property, time being of the
essence) and no personal liability is assumed by, nor at any time may be
asserted against, Landlord or its partners, shareholders or trustees or any of
its or their partners, shareholders, trustees, officers, agents, employees,
legal representatives, successors or assigns, if any; all such liability, if
any, being expressly waived and released by Tenant.

 

(d)                                 Time is of the essence of this Lease and all
of its provisions

 

(e)                                  If Landlord is delayed or prevented from
performing any of its obligations under this Lease by reason of causes beyond
Landlord’s control, the period of such delay or prevention shall be deemed
added to the time herein provided for the performance of any such obligation by
Landlord.

 

20.                               CONDITION OF DEMISED PREMISES.  Tenant
acknowledges that Tenant is currently occupying the Demised Premises and
accepts the Demised Premises in its “AS IS” condition.  Landlord shall not be obligated to make any
improvements to the Demised Premises to prepare the same for Tenant’s
occupancy. Landlord represents that, to Landlord’s actual knowledge: (a) except
as disclosed in that certain Phase I Environmental Site Assessment dated
September, 1998 prepared by RT Environmental Services, Inc. for Tenant’s affiliate,
Preferred Real Estate Investments, Inc. (the “Environmental Report”), Landlord
is not aware of the presence or release of hazardous materials or substances
in, at or under the Property in violation of any Environmental Statute, (b) the
Property is not in violation of any applicable laws or ordinances, and (c) the
Building does not contain any structural defects.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall
have no liability hereunder on account of any conditions or violations caused
by Tenant or as to which Tenant has actual knowledge as of the date hereof.
Tenant expressly acknowledges that Tenant is aware that the Property is the subject
of ongoing environmental remediation pursuant to a remediation agreement
between General Sullivan Group, Inc. and the New Jersey Department of
Environmental Protection, as more fully described in the Environmental Report.
Except as expressly set forth herein, Landlord makes no representations or
warranties as to the condition of the Demised Premises.

 

21.                               WAIVER OF SUBROGATION.  Each
party hereto hereby waives any and every claim which arises or which may arise
in its favor against the other party hereto during the Term, including any
extension or renewal thereof, for any and all loss of, or damage to, any of its
property located within or upon or constituting a part of the Building, to the
extent that such loss or damage is covered under an insurance policy or
policies and to the extent such policy or policies contain provisions
permitting such waivers of claims. Each party agrees to request its insurers to
issue policies containing such provisions and if any extra premium is payable

 

15

 

therefor,
the party which would benefit from the provision shall have the option to pay
such additional premium in order to obtain such benefit.

 

22.                               RENT TAX.  If, during the Term, including any renewal or extension thereof, any
tax is imposed upon the privilege of renting or occupying the Demised Premises
or upon the amount of rentals collected therefor, Tenant will pay each month,
as additional rent, a sum equal to such tax or charge that is imposed for such
month, but nothing herein shall be taken to require Tenant to pay any income,
estate, inheritance or franchise tax imposed upon Landlord.

 

23.                               PRIOR AGREEMENT, AMENDMENTS.  Neither
party hereto has made any representations or promises except as contained
herein or in some further writing signed by the party making such
representation or promise. No other agreement hereinafter made shall be effective
to change, modify, discharge or effect an abandonment of this Lease, in whole
or in part, unless such agreement is in writing and signed by the party against
whom enforcement of the change, modification, discharge or abandonment is
sought. Tenant agrees to execute any amendment to this Lease required by a
mortgagee of the Building, which amendment does not materially adversely affect
Tenant’s rights or obligation hereunder.

 

24.                               CAPTIONS.  The
captions of the paragraphs in this Lease are inserted and included solely for
convenience and shall not be considered or given any effect in construing the provisions
hereof.

 

25.                               MECHANIC’S LIEN.  Tenant shall, within ten (10) days after notice
from Landlord, discharge any mechanic’s lien for materials or labor claimed to
have been furnished to the Demised Premises on Tenant’s behalf (except for work
contracted for by Landlord) and shall indemnify and hold harmless Landlord from
any loss incurred in connection therewith.

 

26.                               RIGHT TO CURE.  Landlord
may (but shall not be obligated), on five (5) days notice to Tenant
(except that no notice need be given in case of emergency) cure on behalf of Tenant
any default hereunder by Tenant, and the cost of such cure (including any
attorney’s fees incurred) shall be deemed additional rent payable upon demand.
If Landlord shall, following the giving of written notice and the expiration of
a reasonable period for cure, fail to perform any one or more of its
obligations under this Lease, Tenant may (but shall not be obligated), on five (5) days
additional notice (except that no additional notice need be given in the event
of emergency) to Landlord, take all reasonable action as may be necessary to
correct or cure the failure of performance by Landlord, and Tenant’s reasonable
out-of-pocket expenditures in so doing shall be payable from Landlord to
Tenant.

 

27.                               INSURANCE.  Tenant
shall at all times during the Term, including any renewal or extension thereof,
maintain in full force and effect with respect to the Demised Premises and
Tenant’s use thereof, (i) comprehensive public liability insurance,
covering injury to person and property in amounts at least equal to Five
Million Dollars ($5,000,000) per occurrence and annual aggregate limit for
bodily injury and One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) per occurrence and annual
aggregate limit for property damage, with increases in such limits as Landlord
may from time to time reasonably request (“Liability Insurance”), and (ii) all-risk
or fire and extended coverage insurance upon Tenant’s personal property and
leasehold improvements in the Demised Premises for the full replacement value
of such personal property and leasehold improvements. Such Liability Insurance
policies shall name Landlord and at Landlord’s request any mortgagee of all or
any portion of the Property as additional insureds. Tenant shall lodge with
Landlord duplicate originals or certificates of such Liability Insurance at or
prior to the Commencement Date, together with evidence of paid-up premiums, and
shall lodge with

 

16

 

Landlord
renewals thereof at least fifteen (15) days prior to expiration. All such

29.                               ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS.

 

(a)                                  Tenant shall conduct, and cause to be

connection with any of the foregoing, which indemnity shall survive the
expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Tenant’s indemnification obligations under this Section shall not apply in
respect of any release of Hazardous Substances or violation of Environmental
Statutes caused by parties other than Tenant, its agents, employees, invitees
or licensees.

OBLIGATIONS OF LANDLORD SHALL ARISE UNTIL THIS INSTRUMENT IS SIGNED BY BOTH
LANDLORD AND TENANT.

32.                               FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.  If
requested by Landlord’s lender (but no more than twice during any twelve month
period) Tenant shall provide to Landlord’s lender within five days of written
notice from Landlord a copy of Tenant’s and Guarantor’s (if any) complete
annual financial statements for the most recently completed fiscal year.

 

33.                               QUIET ENJOYMENT.  Tenant,
upon paying the rent, and observing and keeping all covenants, agreements and
conditions of this Lease on its part to be kept, shall quietly have and enjoy
the Demised Premises during the term of this Lease without hindrance or
molestation by anyone claiming by or through Landlord, subject, however, to the
exceptions, reservations and conditions of this Lease.

 

34.                               SEVERABILITY.  If
any provision contained in this Lease shall, to any extent, be invalid or
unenforceable, the remainder of this Lease (and the application of such
provision to the persons or circumstances, if any, other than those as to which
it is invalid or unenforceable) shall not be affected thereby, and each and
every provision of this Lease shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest
extent permitted by law.

 

35.                               GOVERNING LAW.  This
Lease shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the
State in which the Property is located.

 

36.                               RENEWAL OPTIONS.  Tenant
shall have the option to extend the Term for one (1) extension period (the
“Extension Period”) of five (5) years, upon the following terms and conditions:

 

(a)                                  The Extension Period shall be for a five (5) year
period commencing on the day immediately following the expiration date of the
initial Term of this Lease and expiring at midnight on the day immediately
preceding the fifth (5th) anniversary thereof.

 

(b)                                 Tenant must exercise the Extension Period, if
at all, upon at least nine (9) months’ written notice to Landlord prior to
the expiration date of the initial Term of this Lease, time being of the
essence.

 

(c)                                  The Extension Period shall be on the same
terms and conditions contained in this Lease, except that (i) the Annual
Base Rent shall be the “Fair Market Rent” (as hereinafter defined) of the
Demised Premises for the Extension Period, and (ii) Tenant shall receive
no inducements, allowances or periods of rent abatement with respect to such Extension
Period, and (iii) the provisions of Section 38 shall no longer apply.

 

(d)                                 As used herein, the term “Fair Market Rent”
shall mean and equal the product of (i) the rentable area then included in
the Demised Premises and (ii) the market rental (expressed in dollars per
square foot) for comparable space, and for a comparable term, in the Building
and in other comparable buildings in the West Trenton, New Jersey market as determined
by Landlord in Landlord’s reasonable judgment (subject to subparagraphs (i) –
(iii) below, taking into account the size and location of the Demised Premises
in the Building.

 

(i)                                     At Tenant’s request, such request to be given
in writing and no later than twelve (12) months prior to the Expiration Date,
Landlord shall confer with Tenant as to Landlord’s proposed “Fair Market Rent”
for the Demised Premises and shall in any event, within fifteen (15) days
thereafter, notify Tenant in writing (“Landlord’s Notice”) of such proposed
rental rate. Tenant shall thereupon have the following options: (i) to
accept such proposed “Fair Market” rental rate and exercise its renewal option
not later than the date set forth in

 

19

 

subparagraph
(b) above, (ii) to decline to exercise its renewal option, or (iii) to
notify Landlord in writing that Tenant objects to the proposed rental rate,
which notification must be given within fifteen (15) days after Tenant’s
receipt of Landlord’s Notice. If Tenant objects to Landlord’s proposed “Fair
Market Rent” in accordance with clause (iii) above, Landlord and Tenant
shall attempt to negotiate a mutually acceptable rental rate within ten (10) days
following notification by Tenant, and if such negotiations have not been
concluded within such ten (10) day period, either party may require
determination of the Fair Market Rent for the Extension Period by giving
written notice to the other no later than five days after the expiration of
such 10-day period, which notice shall designate a real estate broker selected
by the initiating party experienced in office and warehouse leasing in the West
Trenton, New Jersey area. Within five (5) business days after receipt of
such notice, the other party to this Lease shall select a real estate broker
meeting the aforesaid requirements and give written notice of such selection to
the initiating party. If the two real estate brokers fail to agree upon the
Fair Market Rent within ten days after selection of the second broker, the two
brokers shall select a third broker experienced in office and warehouse leasing
in West Trenton, New Jersey. Each of the three brokers shall determine the Fair
Market Rent within ten (10) days after the appointment of the third
broker. The Fair Market Rent applicable to the Extension Term shall equal the
arithmetic average of such three determinations; provided, however, that if one
broker’s determination deviates more than five percent (5%) from the median of
the three determinations, the Fair Market Rent shall be an amount equal to the
average of the other two determinations. The determination of Fair Market Rent
shall be final, binding and conclusive on Landlord and Tenant. Upon receipt of
any such determination, Tenant shall have the right, but shall not be
obligated, for a period of ten (10) days, to exercise the Extension Period
at the Fair Market Rent so determined. If Tenant does not so exercise its right
within such ten (10) day period, then, notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, such right shall be extinguished absolutely and Tenant shall have no
further right to extend the Term pursuant to this Section 36.

 

(ii)                                  Landlord shall pay the costs and fees of
Landlord’s broker in connection with any determination hereunder, and Tenant
shall pay the costs of Tenant’s broker in connection with such determination.
The costs and fees of any third-party broker selected pursuant to subparagraph
(I) above shall be paid one-half by Landlord and one-half by Tenant.

 

(iii)                               Tenant acknowledges that time is of the essence
with respect to the provisions of this Section 36. By way of example and
not by limitation, if Tenant fails to timely (a) request Landlord’s
determination of the Fair Market Rent, (b) object to Landlord’s
determination of Fair Market Rent, or (c) require a determination of Fair
Market Rent, each within the time periods set forth above, then the Fair Market
Rent for the Extension Period shall be determined by Landlord in accordance
with the first sentence of subparagraph (d) above.

 

(e)                                  Except for the Extension Period set forth
above, there shall be no further privilege of renewal.

 

37.                               LANDLORD’S RECAPTURE.

 

(a)                                  Provided that Tenant is not in default of its
obligations hereunder, on or prior to the expiration of the first lease year
Landlord shall recapture that portion of the Demised Premises consisting of
approximately 2,500 square feet and designated as the “First Recapture Space”
on Exhibit “A” attached hereto. Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing at
least thirty (30)

 

20

 

days
prior to the date upon which Landlord intends to recapture the First Recapture
Space (the “First Recapture Date”). Effective as of the First Recapture Date,
this Lease and Tenant’s right to possession shall terminate with respect to the
First Recapture Space only, and Tenant shall vacate the First Recapture Space
on or before the First Recapture Date. If Tenant fails to vacate the First
Recapture Space on or before the First Recapture Date, Tenant shall be deemed a
holdover tenant with respect to the First Recapture Space and be subject to the
provisions of Section 18 hereof with respect thereto. Upon the later of (i) the
First Recapture Date, or (ii) the date that Tenant vacates the First
Recapture Space, the Annual Base Rent, Tenant’s GLA and Tenant’s Fraction shall
be proportionately reduced.

 

(b)                                 provided
that Tenant is not in default, on or
prior to the expiration of the second lease year Landlord shall recapture that
portion of the Demised Premises consisting of approximately 2,500 square feet
and designated as the “Second Recapture Space” on Exhibit “A” attached
hereto. Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing at lease thirty (30) days prior
to the date upon which Landlord intends to recapture the Second Recapture Space
(the “Second Recapture Date”). Effective as of the Second Recapture Date, this
Lease and Tenant’s right to possession shall terminate with respect to the
Second Recapture Space only, and Tenant shall vacate the Second Recapture Space
on or before the Second Recapture Date. If Tenant fails to vacate the Second
Recapture Space on or before the Second Recapture Date, Tenant shall be deemed
a holdover tenant with respect to the Second Recapture Space and be subject to
the provisions of Section 18 hereof with respect thereto. Upon the later
of (i) the Second Recapture Date, or (ii) the date that Tenant
vacates the Second Recapture Space, the Annual Base Rent, Tenant’s GLA and
Tenant’s Fraction shall be proportionately reduced.

 

38.                               EARLY TERMINATION. Tenant shall have the right to terminate
this Lease at any time after the expiration of the seventh (7th)
lease year of the Term and prior to the expiration of the initial term (but not
during any Extension Period) provided: (a) Tenant shall have
delivered written notice (“Tenant’s Termination Notice”) to Landlord not more
than 270 days and not less than 180 days prior to the effective date of
termination (the “Early Termination Date”), time being of the essence, and (b) Tenant
shall have (i) paid to Landlord by cash or certified check, at the time
Tenant delivers Tenant’s Termination Notice, a termination fee (the “Termination
Fee”) equal to the product obtained by multiplying (A) two-thirds (2/3) by
(B) the Annual Base Rent which otherwise would have been payable by Tenant
during the balance of the Term subsequent to the Early Termination Date (at the
rental rate set forth in Section 10 of the Fundamental Lease Provisions),
or (ii) delivered to Landlord, at the time Tenant delivers Tenant’s
Termination Notice, an unconditional and irrevocable letter of credit in the
amount of the Termination Fee, which letter of credit shall be in all respects
satisfactory to Landlord, in its reasonable judgment. In the event that Tenant
pays the Termination Fee to Landlord by cash or certified check, Landlord shall
deposit the Termination Fee in an interest-bearing account and on the Early
Termination Date, provided that tenant is not in default beyond the expiration
of all applicable notice and cure periods hereunder, Landlord shall pay to
Tenant all interest earned thereon from the date of deposit through the Early
Termination Date By way of example, the Early Termination Date is the first day
of the eighth (8th) lease year (i.e., with 36 months remaining on
the initial lease term), the Early Termination Fee shall equal twenty-four (24)
months’ Base Rent. If the Early Termination Date is the first day of the ninth
(9th) lease year (i.e., with 24 months remaining on the initial
lease term), the Early Termination Fee shall equal sixteen (16) months’ Base
Rent. Tenant acknowledges that the Early Termination Fee is separate and independent
consideration for Tenant’s’ right to terminate the Lease in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 38 and, as such, will not be applied against
the rent payable by Tenant hereunder for the period from and after the date of
Tenant’s Termination Notice through the Early Termination Date. This Lease
shall terminate on the Early Termination

 

21

 

Date
and neither party shall have any further rights, liabilities or obligations
hereunder (provided, however, that nothing herein shall relieve any party from
performing any outstanding obligations which accrued prior to the Early
Termination Date).

 

39.                               TENANT INDUCEMENT. As an inducement for Tenant to enter into
this Lease, provided that the Commencement Date shall have occurred and Tenant
shall have commenced paying rent hereunder, Landlord shall pay to Tenant on the
Commencement Date a one-time payment equal to the sum of One Hundred Thousand
Dollars ($100,000.00) (the “Tenant Inducement Payment”). Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in the event that Tenant shall default in the performance of any its
obligations hereunder during the first lease year and such default shall result
in the termination of the Lease pursuant to Section 15 hereof, the Tenant Inducement
Payment shall be recoverable by Landlord and, in such event, the same shall become
immediately due and payable to Landlord as additional rent hereunder.

 

40.                               TERMINATION OF EXISTING LEASE. Effective as of the Commencement Date, that
certain Lease (the “Existing Lease”) dated July 11, 1995 by and between
General Sullivan Group, Inc. (to be assigned to Landlord at closing) and
Tenant is hereby terminated and shall be of no further force and effect.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Lease or caused this Lease to be
executed by their duly authorized representatives the day and year first above
written.

1.                                      CAPITALIZED TERMS. Except otherwise defined herein, capitalized
terms used herein shall have the same meanings assigned to such terms under the

expiration of the Term as it relates to the Surrender Space; (ii) Tenant

Surrender Space Termination Date.

 

B.                                     Effective on the Surrender Space Termination

C.                                     In the event Tenant shall hold possession of
the Surrender Space after the Surrender Space Termination Date (time being of
the essence), then Landlord shall have any and all rights and remedies as set
forth in the Lease including, but not limited to, those rights and remedies set
forth in Section 18 of the Lease. Further, in the event Tenant shall hold

actual and consequential damages) and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’
fees) resulting from a failure to deliver the Surrender Space to a new tenant
or occupant for said space in accordance with the terms and conditions of a lease
with said new tenant or occupant including, but not limited to, any damages
incurred by Landlord resulting from the termination of the lease with said new
tenant or occupant.

4.                                      TENANT IMPROVEMENTS.

 

A.                                   Except for the Scope of Work attached hereto
as Exhibit “B” (“Landlord’s
Work”), Landlord
shall have no obligation to perform any improvements to either the Reconfigured
Premises or to the Surrender Space. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
set forth in the Lease (as amended hereby), with the exception only of the
Landlord’s Work as specifically described herein, Landlord

 

2

 

shall
have no obligation to construct any buildings, improvements or alterations, or
to extend or provide any services on or to the Reconfigured Premises or to or
for the benefit of Tenant, or to make any repairs or replacements to the
Reconfigured Premises; and Landlord makes no warranty concerning the
Reconfigured Premises or the Landlord’s Work, including without limitation any
warranties of merchantability, habitability, fitness or any other condition
thereof for any particular purpose.

 

B.                                     All work described in this Scope of Work shall
be furnished, installed and shall be performed by Landlord, utilizing a general
contractor selected by Landlord.

 

C.                                     In the event Tenant requests that Landlord
perform any work to the Reconfigured Premises other than as specifically set
forth herein, said work shall be considered a “Tenant Change Order” and Tenant
shall pay any increase in the cost of constructing the Landlord’s Work (including,
without limitation, additional architect’s fees) resulting from such Tenant
Change Order. In constructing the Landlord’s Work, Landlord reserves the right
to: (i) make substitutions of material of equivalent grade and quality
when and if any specified material shall not be readily and reasonably
available, and (ii) make changes necessitated by conditions met during the
course of construction; provided, however, that Tenant’s approval of any
substantial change shall first
be obtained, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Tenant Change Orders
shall not be permitted without the prior written approval of Landlord, which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed by Landlord
so long as the Tenant Change Order does not delay the construction of the
Landlord’s Work. If Landlord approves any Tenant Change Order then,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Tenant shall pay any
increase in the cost of constructing the Landlord’s Work resulting from such
Tenant Change Order within thirty (30) days after receipt of Landlord’s invoice
therefor. As a condition to Landlord’s approval of any Tenant Change Order,
Landlord may require that, prior to Landlord’s commencement of any work related
to such Tenant Change Order, Tenant shall pay to Landlord one hundred percent
(100%) of the amount estimated by Landlord to become due to Landlord with respect
to such Tenant Change Order, which prepaid amount shall be applied against the
last of the costs incurred by Landlord with respect to such Tenant Change
Order.

 

5.                                      OTHER MODIFICATIONS. Except as expressly amended hereby, the
Lease shall remain in full force and effect unmodified. Tenant expressly
acknowledges that the provisions of Section 15 of the Lease (relating to
Default) remains in full force and effect.
