 Mr. Bruce Peacock 

Dear Bruce: 
 It is my pleasure to extend to you this amended
and restated offer of employment with Ophthotech Corporation (the “Company”). On behalf of the Company, I set forth below the terms of your continuing employment with the Company: 

 

	 	1.	Employment. You will continue to be employed by the Company to serve on a full-time basis as the Company’s Chief Financial and Business Officer at the Company’s Princeton, New Jersey location. As
the Company’s Chief Financial and Business Officer, you will continue to be responsible for all business, financial, commercial, and business development aspects of the Company, plus such other duties as may from time to time be assigned to you
by the Company. You shall continue to report to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company (the “CEO”) and shall perform and discharge faithfully, diligently, and to the best of your ability, your duties and responsibilities hereunder. You
agree to devote your full business time, efforts, skill, knowledge, attention and energies to the advancement of the Company’s business and interests and to the performance of your duties and responsibilities as an employee of the Company. You
shall be permitted to continue to serve on a limited number of not-for-profit and other boards with the approval of such members of the Board of Directors of the Company who are unaffiliated with SV Life Sciences, provided that such service does not
interfere with the performance of your duties and responsibilities to the Company and does not compete with the Company and your role as provided in Section 12. For purposes hereof, a business will be deemed to be competitive with the Company
if it engages in the research, development or commercialization of pharmaceutical or diagnostic products for ocular diseases whose primary mechanism of action is directed at the pdgf molecule and/or its receptor or the C5 molecule and/or its
receptor. You agree to abide by the rules, regulations, instructions, personnel practices and policies of the Company and any changes therein that may be adopted from time to time by the Company. 

 

	 	2.	Base Salary. Your base salary will be at the rate of $31,112.42 per monthly pay period (which if annualized equals $373,349), less all applicable taxes and withholdings, to be paid in installments in
accordance with the Company’s regular payroll practices. Such base salary may be adjusted from time to time in accordance with normal business practices and in the sole discretion of the Company. 

	 	3.	Discretionary Bonus. Following the end of each calendar year and subject to the approval of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”), you will be eligible for a performance bonus of up
to 25% of your annualized base salary (the “Target Bonus”), based on your personal performance and the Company’s performance during the applicable calendar year, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion; provided, however,
that following the end of any calendar year that includes or follows the closing of the initial public offering of the Company’s common stock, your Target Bonus will be up to 35% of your annualized base salary. In any event, except as otherwise
provided herein, you must be an active employee of the Company on the date the bonus is distributed in order to be eligible for and to earn any bonus award, as it also serves as an incentive to remain employed by the Company. 

 

	 	4.	Equity. You will continue to be eligible to receive options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock in the sole discretion of the Company. The terms of any such awards will be governed by the
terms of the Company equity incentive plans and the applicable award agreements. 

  

	 	5.	Benefits. You may participate in any and all benefit programs that the Company establishes and makes generally available to its employees from time to time, provided that you are eligible under (and
subject to all provisions of) the plan documents that govern those programs. Benefits are subject to change at any time in the Company’s sole discretion. 

  

	 	6.	Severance. If your employment is terminated by the Company without Cause or by you for Good Reason, then (subject to your executing (and not revoking) a separation agreement as described below) the Company
will (i) pay you an amount equal to nine (9) months of your then-current base salary, less standard employment-related withholdings and deductions, with such payments to be made in nine equal monthly installments in accordance with the
Company’s usual payroll practices beginning on the first regular pay date following the Payment Date and (ii) provide for continued coverage, at the Company’s expense, under the Company’s medical and dental benefit plans to the
extent permitted under such plans for a period of nine (9) months immediately following the date of the termination of your employment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if your employment is terminated by the Company or its successor without
Cause or by you for Good Reason within the one-year period following the effective date of a Change in Control Event (as defined in the Company’s Amended and Restated 2007 Stock Incentive Plan) that also qualifies as a “change in control
event” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(5)(i) (a “Company Change in Control”), the Company will (i) pay you an amount equal to nine (9) months of your then-current base salary, less standard
employment-related withholdings and deductions, with such payments to be made in nine equal monthly installments in accordance with the Company’s usual payroll practices beginning on the first regular pay date following the Payment Date,
(ii) pay you an amount equal to your Target Bonus, less standard employment-related withholdings and deductions, in a lump sum on the Payment Date, and (iii) provide for continued coverage, at the Company’s expense, under the
Company’s medical and dental benefit plans to the extent permitted under such plans for a period of nine (9) months immediately following the date of the termination of your employment. 

  
 - 2 - 

 The Company shall not be obligated to pay to you the severance payments provided for herein
unless you have timely executed (and not revoked) a separation agreement in substantially the form attached hereto. Such separation agreement must be executed and become binding and enforceable within sixty (60) calendar days after the
effective date of your termination of employment (such 60th day, the “Payment Date”); provided, however, that if the
60th day following the date of termination occurs in the next calendar year following the date of termination, then the Payment Date shall be no earlier than January 1 of such following
calendar year. 
 For purposes hereof, “Cause” shall mean that: (i) you failed to attempt in good faith, refused or willfully
neglected to perform and discharge your material duties and responsibilities; (ii) you have been convicted of, or pled nolo contendere to, a felony or other crime involving fraud or moral turpitude; (iii) you breached your fiduciary
duty or loyalty to the Company, or acted fraudulently or with material dishonesty in discharging your duties to the Company; (iv) you undertook an intentional act or omission of misconduct that materially harmed or was reasonably likely to
materially harm the business, interests, or reputation of the Company; (v) you materially breached any material provision hereof; or (vi) you materially breached any material provision of any Company code of conduct or ethics policy.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, “Cause” shall not be deemed to have occurred unless: (A) the Company provides you with written notice that it intends to terminate your employment hereunder for one of the grounds set forth in
subsections (i), (v) or (vi) within sixty (60) days of such reason(s) occurring, (B) if such ground is capable of being cured, you have failed to cure such ground within a period of thirty (30) days from the date of such
written notice, and (C) the Company terminates your employment within six (6) months from the date that Cause first occurs. 
 For
purposes hereof, “Good Reason” shall mean, without your written consent: (i) any change in your position, title or reporting relationship with the Company that diminishes in any material respect your authority, duties or
responsibilities; provided, however, that a change in your authority, duties or responsibilities solely due to the Company becoming a division, subsidiary or other similar part of a larger organization, shall not by itself constitute
Good Reason; (ii) any material reduction in your base compensation; (iii) a material change in the geographic location at which services are to be performed by you; or (iv) a material breach of any provision hereof by the Company or
any successor or assign. Notwithstanding the foregoing, “Good Reason” shall not be deemed to have occurred unless: (A) you provide the Company with written notice that you intend to terminate your employment hereunder for one of the
grounds set forth in subsections (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) within sixty (60) days of such reason(s) occurring, (B) if such ground is capable of being cured, the Company has failed to cure such ground within a period of thirty
(30) days from the date of such written notice, and (C) you terminate your employment within six (6) months from the date that Good Reason first occurs. For purposes of clarification, the above-listed conditions shall apply separately
to each occurrence of Good Reason and failure to adhere to such conditions in the event of Good Reason shall not disqualify you from asserting Good Reason for any subsequent occurrence of Good Reason. 

  
 - 3 - 

	 	7.	Other Separation from Service. Provided that you have attained age sixty-three (63), if your employment is voluntarily terminated by you on or after the earlier of the first anniversary of the closing of
the initial public offering of the Company’s common stock and November 15, 2014 (the date on which such termination occurs, the “Separation Date”), then (subject to your executing (and not revoking) a separation agreement as
described in Section 6 above) the Company will (i) pay you an amount equal to twelve (12) months of your then-current base salary, less standard employment-related withholdings and deductions, with such payments to be made in twelve
equal monthly installments in accordance with the Company’s usual payroll practices beginning on the first regular pay date following the Payment Date, (ii) pay you an amount equal to your Target Bonus, less standard employment-related
withholdings and deductions, in a lump sum on the Payment Date, (iii) pay you the bonus to which you would otherwise have been entitled pursuant to Section 3 hereof for the calendar year in which the Separation Date occurs as if you had
remained employed with the Company for such calendar year, less standard employment-related withholdings and deductions, which amount shall be paid to you at the same time bonuses for other executives are paid for such year and (iv) provide for
continued coverage, at the Company’s expense, under the Company’s medical and dental benefit plans to the extent permitted under such plans for a period of twelve (12) months immediately following the date of the termination of your
employment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if you receive payments and benefits under this Section 7 you shall not also be entitled to receive payments or benefits under Section 6. 

Upon your separation from service described in this Section 7, the Company shall also offer to hire you as a consultant in accordance with
the terms and conditions set forth in this paragraph. You and the Company hereby agree that any consulting services to the Company performed by you after the Separation Date (whether as an employee or independent contractor) will be at a level that
is to no greater than 20 percent of the average level of bona fide services performed by you (whether as an employee or an independent contractor) over the immediately preceding 36-month period. In consideration for any such consulting services, the
Company will pay you, in addition to the payments outlined in the first paragraph of this Section 7, (i) an amount equal to one twelfth (1/12th) of your annualized base salary as of
the Separation Date (the “Maximum Consulting Fee Amount”) for each of the first three months during which you provide consulting services to the Company; (ii) an amount equal to 75% of the Maximum Consulting Fee Amount for each of the
following three months during which you provide consulting services to the Company; and (iii) an amount equal to 50% of the Maximum Consulting Fee Amount for each of the following six months during which you provide consulting services to the
Company (the aggregate payments described here at (i), (ii) and (iii), the “Aggregate Consulting Fee”). Payments of the Aggregate Consulting Fee shall be subject to any applicable withholding and made on a quarterly basis in
accordance with the Company’s regular payroll practices. You may terminate your consulting arrangement with the Company for any reason upon thirty 

  
 - 4 - 

 
(30) days written notice to the Company, in which case all payments in respect of your consulting services to the Company shall cease and you shall receive any pro-rata payment of consulting fees
then owing to you upon the next quarterly payment date. Provided you are then providing consulting services to the Company, upon the occurrence of a Company Change in Control within the one year period following the Separation Date, or in the event
that the Company unilaterally terminates your consulting arrangement without Cause after which you perform no further services for the Company, the Company, or its successor, shall pay you an amount equal to the Aggregate Consulting Fee less any
amount of the Aggregate Consulting Fee that has already been paid to you, in a single lump sum payment upon the next quarterly payment date. Any fees for consulting services provided by you after the first anniversary of your Separation Date will be
negotiated at arm’s length. 
  

	 	8.	Vacation. You will continue to be eligible for a maximum of four (4) weeks of paid vacation per calendar year to be taken at such times as may be approved in advance by the Company. Vacation days for
which you are eligible shall accrue pro rata on a monthly basis during the period that you are employed during each calendar year. Accrued vacation may not be carried over from year to year and must be taken in accordance with Company policy.

  

	 	9.	Invention, Non-Disclosure, Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation Agreement. You acknowledge and reaffirm the obligations set forth in each of the Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation Agreement and Invention
and Non-Disclosure Agreement that were previously executed by you in connection with the commencement of your employment with the Company, both of which remain in full force and effect. 

 

	 	10.	No Conflict. You represent that you are not bound by any employment contract, restrictive covenant or other restriction preventing you from continuing employment with or carrying out your responsibilities
for the Company, or which is in any way inconsistent with the terms of this offer letter. 

  

	 	11.	At-Will Employment. This letter shall not be construed as an agreement, either express or implied, to employ you for any stated term, and shall in no way alter the Company’s policy of employment
at-will, under which both the Company and you remain free to end the employment relationship for any reason, at any time, with or without cause or notice. Although your job duties, title, compensation and benefits, as well as the Company’s
personnel policies and procedures, may change from time to time, the “at-will” nature of your employment may only be changed by a written agreement signed by you and the CEO that expressly states the intention to modify the at-will nature
of your employment. This letter supersedes all prior understandings, whether written or oral, relating to the terms of your employment. 

  

	 	12.	Position at SV Life Sciences. The Company acknowledges that you may maintain the title of Venture Partner at SV Life Sciences, provided that (i) you are serving only in an advisory capacity for
businesses that do not compete with the Company as set forth in Section 1 hereof and (ii) you do not have any responsibility for operating or investing matters beyond your service on the boards of directors of other companies as permitted
by Section 1 hereof. You may retain all amounts and benefits you receive as a result of the foregoing. 

  
 - 5 - 

	 	13.	Successors and Assigns. The terms of this letter, including the payment obligations described in Sections 6 and 7 hereof, shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of you and the Company and their
respective successors and assigns, including any corporation with which, or into which, the Company may be merged or which may succeed to the Company’s assets or business; provided, however, that your obligations are personal and
may not be assigned by you. You expressly consent to be bound by the provisions hereof for the benefit of the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate thereof to whose employ you may be transferred without the necessity that this letter be re-signed
at the time of such transfer. 

  

	 	14.	Governing Law. This letter shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York (without reference to the conflicts of laws provisions thereof). Any action, suit, or
other legal proceeding which is commenced to resolve any matter arising under or relating to any provision of this letter shall be commenced only in a court of the State of New York (or, if appropriate, a federal court located within New York), and
the Company and you each consents to the jurisdiction of such a court. The Company and you each hereby irrevocably waive any right to a trial by jury in any action, suit or other legal proceeding arising under or relating to any provision hereof.

  

	 	15.	 Code Section 409A. The intent of the parties is that payments and benefits under this letter comply with, or be exempt from,
Internal Revenue Code Section 409A and the regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder (collectively “Code Section 409A”) and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, this Agreement shall be interpreted to be in
compliance therewith. With regard to any provision herein that provides for reimbursement of costs and expenses or in-kind benefits, except as permitted by Code Section 409A, (i) the right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits shall not be
subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit, (ii) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits, provided during any taxable year shall not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits
to be provided, in any other taxable year, provided that this clause (ii) shall not be violated with regard to expenses reimbursed under any arrangement covered by Code Section 105(a) solely because such expenses are subject to a limit
related to the period the arrangement is in effect, and (iii) such payments shall be made on or before the last day of your taxable year following the taxable year in which the expense occurred, provided that any tax gross-ups may be reimbursed
by the end of the calendar year following the calendar year in which such taxes are remitted to the taxing authorities. For purposes of Code Section 409A, each payment hereunder shall be treated as a separate payment and your right to receive
any installment payments pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated as a right to receive a series of separate and distinct payments. In no event may you, directly or indirectly, designate the calendar year of any payment to be made under this
Agreement that is considered nonqualified deferred compensation. Termination of employment as used herein shall mean separation from service within the meaning of 

  
 - 6 - 

	 	
Code Section 409A. In the event at the time of any separation from service you are a “specified employee” within the meaning of Code Section 409A, any deferred compensation
subject to Code Section 409A payable as a result of such termination shall not be paid prior to the earlier of six (6) months after such termination and your death and shall be paid immediately thereafter.

nature whatsoever, known or unknown that the Employee now has, owns or holds, or claims to have, own, or hold, or that he at any time had, owned, or held, or claimed to have had, owned, or held against any Releasee arising out of the Employee’s

insurance policy of the Company or any other Releasee. 
 4. Ongoing Obligations of the Employee; Enforcement Rights. The Employee

(the “Chair”) within such twenty one (21) day period. For a period of seven (7) days from the date when the Employee executes this Release (the “Revocation Period”), he shall retain the right to

thereby and the illegal, invalid or unenforceable term or provision shall be severed from the remainder of this Release. In the event of such severance, the remaining covenants shall be binding and enforceable. 

(e) Governing Law and Interpretation. This Release shall be deemed to be made and entered into in the State of New York and shall in
all respects be interpreted, enforced and governed under the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to the conflict of laws provisions of New York law that would require the application of law of any other jurisdiction. The language of

 - 2 - 

 (f) Entire Agreement; Absence of Reliance. The Employee acknowledges that he is not

 3. Demise. Landlord hereby demises and lets to Tenant and Tenant takes and
hires from Landlord that certain space (“Leased Premises”) delineated in Schedule “A” attached, and made part hereof, in the office building (“Building”) known as 17 Hulfish Street, Suite 280, conclusively deemed to
consist of 1,796 square feet, in the Municipality of Princeton, County of Mercer and State of New Jersey, TOGETHER WITH, appurtenant to the Leased Premises, the right to use in common with Landlord and other tenants, occupants and visitors to the
Building, the common entrances, lobbies, ramps, drives, stairs and similar access and serviceways and common areas in and adjacent to the Building, and if the Leased Premises include less than an entire floor of the Building, the common lobbies,
hallways and restrooms and other common facilities of such floor. Landlord hereby leases to Tenant, and Tenant hereby takes from Landlord, the Leased Premises for the Term and at the Rent hereinafter described. Tenant takes the Leased Premises
“AS IS” except as otherwise may be specifically set forth herein. 
 4. Term. The Term shall commence on
the Commencement Date and shall extend and continue until the expiration of the Lease Term, unless such Term shall be sooner extended or this Lease otherwise terminated as hereinafter provided. 

5. Holding Over. If Tenant retains possession of the Leased Premises, or any part thereof, after the termination of this
Lease by expiration of the Lease Term, or otherwise, Tenant shall pay Landlord, (i) as agreed liquidated damages for such unlawful retention alone, an amount, calculated on a per diem basis for each day of such unlawful retention, equal to
twice the Annual Fixed Rent for the time Tenant thus remains in possession, and (ii) all other damages, costs and expenses sustained by Landlord by reason of tenant’s unlawful retention, including attorneys’ fees. Without limiting any
rights and remedies of Landlord, resulting by reason of the wrongful holding over by Tenant, or creating any right in Tenant to continue in possession of the Leased Premises, all Tenant’s obligations with respect to the use, occupancy and
maintenance of the Leased Premises shall continue during such period of unlawful retention. 
 6. Rent.

  

	 	A.	Rent is payable by Tenant commencing on the later of (i) the Commencement Date, or (ii) upon completion of Landlord’s Work pursuant to the
terms of this Lease, in monthly installments of one-twelfth (1/12th) of the Annual Fixed Rent, without prior notice or demand, in advance, on the first day of each month at Landlord’s principal office in the Borough of Princeton, Mercer
County, New Jersey, or at such other place as Landlord may direct, except that the Rent for the first full month of the Lease Term shall be paid on the date of execution of this Lease. 

 

	 	B.	In the event the Lease Term commences on a day other than the first day of a calendar month, Tenant shall pay to the Landlord, on or before the
Commencement Date of the Lease Term, a pro rata portion of the monthly installment of rent, such pro rata portion to be based on the number of days remaining in such partial month after the Commencement Date of the Lease Term.

  

	 	C.	Tenant hereby covenants and agrees to pay the Annual Fixed Rent when due, and also all sums of money required to be paid by Tenant hereunder, all of which
additional sums shall constitute “Additional Rent” hereunder, whether or not so designated. 

  
 - 2 -

	 	D.	If Tenant shall fail to pay when due any Annual Fixed Rent or any Additional Rent (referred to collectively as Rent), Tenant shall pay interest thereon at
the annual rate of interest equal to one and one-half (1 1/2%) per cent above the prime rate of interest charged by The Bank of New York then prevailing or if a permanent mortgage loan affects the Building, then at the rate payable under said
mortgage (said rates or the then prevailing maximum legal rate chargeable to Tenant, whichever is less, is referred to herein as the “Default Rate”) from the date when such installment or payment shall have become due to the date of the
payment thereof, and such interest shall be deemed Additional Rent. 

  

	 	E.	In addition, during the Term, and any renewals, of the within Lease, that portion of any amount of Rent or other amount due under this Lease which is not
paid on the day it is first due shall incur a late charge of five (5%) percent for the first occurrence of such non-timely payment; seven and one-half (7.5%) percent for the second occurrence; and ten (10%) percent for the third
occurrence. 

  

	 	F.	In the event Tenant issues a cheque for any Rent which is returned to Landlord as unpaid for any reason, Landlord shall be entitled to add the sum of
Twenty-Five ($25.00) Dollars to the next Rental bill representing a service charge for such occurrence. 

  

	 	G.	All of such amounts shall be collectible by Landlord as Additional Rent with any interest being based on a 360-day year. Any Additional Rent which shall
become due shall be payable, unless otherwise provided herein, with the next installment of Annual Fixed Rent. Rent and statements required of Tenant shall be paid and delivered to Landlord at the management office of Landlord in the Retail Center
or at such other place as Landlord may, from time to time, designate in a notice to Tenant. Any payment by Tenant or acceptance by Landlord of a lesser amount than shall be due from Tenant to Landlord shall be treated as payment on account. The
acceptance by Landlord of a cheque for a lesser amount with an endorsement or statement thereon, or upon any letter accompanying such cheque, that such lesser amount is payment in full, shall be given no effect, and Landlord may accept such cheque
without prejudice to any other rights or remedies which Landlord may have against Tenant. 

 7. Annual Fixed
Rent. See Schedule A-1 annexed hereto and made a part hereof. 
 8. Indemnity and Insurance.

  

	 	A.	Tenant shall not do anything, nor suffer nor permit anything to be done in or about the Leased Premises or Building which shall (i) subject Landlord
to any liability or responsibility for injury to any person or property by reason of any activity being conducted in the Leased Premises; (ii) cause any increase in the fire insurance rates applicable to the Building or equipment or other
property located therein; or (iii) be prohibited by governmental regulation or applicable law or any license or other permit required or obtained pursuant to Section 21 A. Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, shall comply with all
rules, regulations or requirements of the New Jersey Board of Fire Underwriters and the New Jersey Fire Insurance Rating Organization or any similar body. 

  
 - 3 -

	 	B.	If by reason of any act, notwithstanding that such act is permitted by terms of this Lease, or omission on the part of Tenant, the rate of fire insurance
with extended coverage on the Building or equipment or other property of Landlord, or any other tenant or occupant of the Building, shall be higher than it otherwise would be, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord and all such other tenants or occupants,
on demand, for that part of the premiums for fire insurance and extended coverage paid by Landlord and such other tenants or occupants because of such act or omission on the part of the Tenant. 

 

	 	C.	Tenant shall obtain and keep in full force and effect during the Term, at its own cost and expense and in the following amounts or such greater amounts as
Landlord or any mortgagee of Landlord may reasonably request, (i) Public Liability Insurance, such insurance to afford protection in an amount not less than $3,000,000, for personal injury or death, and $300,000 for damage to property,
protecting Landlord and Tenant as insureds against any and all claims for personal injury, death or property damage occurring in, upon, adjacent to or connected with the Leased Premises or any part thereof; (ii) insurance against loss or damage
by fire, and such other risks and hazards as are insurable under present and future standard forms of fire and extended coverage insurance policies, to Tenant’s property for the full insurable value thereof, protecting Landlord, any mortgagee
of Landlord, and Tenant as insureds as their respective interests may appear; and (iii) contractual liability insurance in the amounts specified above insuring Tenant’s liability pursuant to the provisions of this Lease.

  

	 	D.	Tenant shall obtain such other insurance in such amounts as may, from time to time, be reasonably required by Landlord against other insurable hazards
which at the time are commonly insured against due regard being given to the type of building, its location, construction, use and occupancy. 

  

	 	E.	Said insurance is to be written in form and substance satisfactory to Landlord by a good and solvent insurance company of recognized standing, admitted to
do business in the State of New Jersey, which shall be reasonably satisfactory to Landlord. Tenant shall procure, maintain and place such insurance and pay all premiums and charges therefor and upon failure to do so Landlord may, but shall not be
obligated to, procure, maintain and place such insurance or make such payments, and in such event, Tenant agrees to pay the amount thereof, plus interest at the Default Rate to the Landlord on demand and said sums shall be in each instance
collectible as Additional Rent on the first day of the month following the date of payment by Landlord. Tenant shall cause to be included in all such insurance policies a provision to the effect that the same shall be non-cancellable nor materially
changed except upon twenty (20) days’ prior written notice to Landlord with the exception of cancellation for nonpayment of premium, whereby ten (10) days’ notice will be provided. Before the Commencement Date, appropriate
certificates shall be deposited with Landlord together with evidence of due payment of premiums thereon. Any renewals, replacements or endorsements thereto shall also be deposited with Landlord to make certain that said insurance shall be in full
force and effect during the Term. 

  

	 	F.	 Tenant agrees to indemnify and save Landlord and Landlord’s agents harmless from all losses, costs, liabilities, claims, damages and
expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ and other professional fees, penalties and fines (except to the 

  
 - 4 -

	 	
extent the same are incurred as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of parties claiming by, through or under Landlord), to the extent arising from (i) any default by
Tenant in the observance or performance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Lease on Tenant’s part to be observed or performed, or (ii) the use, occupancy, control or management, or manner of use, occupancy, control or
management of the Leased Premises or the Building by Tenant or any person claiming through or under Tenant, or contractors, agents, servants, employees, visitors, invitees, licensees and the like, of Tenant or any such person, in or about the Leased
Premises or the Building either prior to, during, or after the expiration of, the Term including any acts, omissions or negligence in the making or performing of any improvements. 

 

	 	G.	Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, within ten (10) days next following receipt by Tenant of bills or statements therefor, sums equal
to all losses, costs, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses referred to in this Section and Tenant’s obligations under this Section shall survive the termination of the Term. 

 

	 	H.	Except in the case of Landlord’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, Landlord shall not be responsible or liable to Tenant, or to those claiming
by, through or under Tenant, for any loss or damage which may be occasioned by or through the acts or omissions of persons occupying space adjoining the Leased Premises or any other part of the Building, or otherwise, or for any loss or damage
incurred by Tenant, or those claiming by, through or under Tenant, or its or their property, from the breaking, bursting, stoppage or leaking of electrical cable or wires, water, gas, sewer or steam pipes. To the maximum extent permitted by law,
Tenant agrees to use and occupy the Leased Premises, and to use such other portions of the Common Areas as Tenant is herein given the right to use, at Tenant’s own risk as specified in this Section. 

 

	 	I.	Neither party shall be liable to the other party or to any insurance company (by way of subrogation or otherwise) insuring the other party for loss or damage to
any building, structure or other tangible property, even though such loss or damage might have been occasioned by the negligence of such party, its agents or employees; provided, however, that if, by reason of the foregoing waiver, either party
shall be unable to obtain any such insurance, such waiver shall be deemed not to have been made by such party and, provided, further, that if, by reason of the foregoing waiver, either party shall be unable to obtain any such insurance without the
payment of an additional premium therefor, then, unless the party claiming the benefit of such waiver shall agree to pay the party seeking to obtain insurance for the cost of such additional premium, within thirty (30) days after notice by such
party setting forth such requirement and the amount of the additional premium, such waiver shall be of no force and effect between the parties. 

 9. Non-Liability of Landlord and Exculpation. 
  

	 	A.	 It is expressly understood and agreed by and between the parties to this agreement that Tenant shall assume all risk of damage and
casualty to its property, equipment and fixtures occurring in or about the Leased Premises, whatever the cause of such damage or casualty. It is further understood and agreed that, in any event, Landlord, in its capacity as Landlord, and, if
applicable, as builder, architect, designer or general contractor of the Leased Premises and the Building in which 

  
 - 5 -

	 	
the Leased Premises is located, and Landlord’s agents, servants, employees, contractors, invitees and the like shall not be liable to Tenant, Tenant’s agents, servants, employees,
contractors, invitees and the like, for any damage or injury to person or property or for any inconvenience or annoyance to Tenant or any other occupant of the Leased Premises or injury to or interruption of Tenant’s or such other
occupant’s business, arising out of or attributable to (i) the design and construction of the Leased Premises and the Building of which the Leased Premises is a part; (ii) any maintenance, repairs, replacements, additions,
alterations, substitutions and installations made to the Leased Premises and the Building of which the Leased Premises is a part; (iii) the failure of Landlord or others to perform any such maintenance or to make any such repairs, replacements,
additions, alterations, substitutions and installations to the Leased Premises and the Building of which the Leased Premises is a part or to provide any utilities or services; (iv) the acts or omissions of any tenant or other occupants of any
space adjacent to or adjoining the Leased Premises; (v) steam, electricity, gas, water, rain, ice or snow, or any leak or flow from or into the Leased Premises and the Building of which the Leased Premises is a part, and (vi) any other
cause or happening whatsoever with respect to any of the events or occurrences referred to in subparagraphs (i) through (v), or otherwise. 

  

	 	B.	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided in this Lease, each and every term, covenant, condition and provision of this Lease is hereby made
specifically subject to the provisions of this Section 9. It is expressly understood and agreed that there shall be no personal liability whatsoever on the part of the Landlord or any successor in interest of Landlord (or on the part of the
officers, directors and shareholders of any corporation or the members of any firm, partnership or joint venture which may be the Landlord or any successor in interest of the Landlord at any time or from time to time) with respect to any of the
terms, covenants, conditions and provisions of this Lease, and Tenant shall look solely to the equity of Landlord or such successor in interest in the fee estate of Landlord in the Leased Premises for the satisfaction of each and every remedy of
Tenant in the event of any breach by Landlord or by any such successor in interest of any of the terms, covenants, conditions and provisions of this Lease to be performed by Landlord, such exculpation of corporate and/or personal liability to be
absolute and without any exception whatsoever. 

  

	 	C.	Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section or any other Section in this Lease, in no event shall Landlord be liable to Tenant for any
consequential, special, indirect or punitive damages. 

 10. Improvements to Leased Premises.

  

	 	A.	All construction work performed by Tenant under the terms of this Lease shall be done in a good and workmanlike manner and in compliance with all
applicable laws, ordinances, regulations and orders of governmental authorities and with all applicable codes of all insurers of the Building. Landlord may inspect the work of the Tenant at reasonable times and shall give notice of observed defects.

  

	 	B.	 Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, complete all improvements and other work to be performed by it pursuant to Schedule
“B-1”. At least ten (10) days prior to the Commencement Date, Tenant shall be permitted by Landlord to enter 

  
 - 6 -

	 	
the Leased Premises for the purpose of performing its obligations under Schedule “B-1” and for the purpose of installing its communications wiring, fixtures and other equipment,
provided: 

  

	 	(i)	Tenant shall have obtained Landlord’s written approval of the plans and specifications for such work; and 

 

	 	(ii)	Tenant shall have deposited with Landlord the policies or certificates of insurance required in Sections 8 and 11; and 

 

	 	(iii)	Tenant shall have secured all necessary permits and approvals of all boards, bureaus and agencies having jurisdiction and Tenant shall have provided copies of such to
Landlord; and 

  

	 	(iv)	Tenant shall have provided Landlord with all requested financial information and documentation; and 

 

	 	(v)	Tenant’s activities shall be conducted so as not unreasonably to interfere with Landlord’s construction activities or with other tenants.

  

	 	C.	Tenant shall, at its expense, remove from the Leased Premises and from the Building, all trash which may accumulate in connection with Tenant’s
activities. During such period, Tenant shall perform all duties and obligations imposed by this Lease, including, without limitation, those provisions relating to insurance and indemnification, saving and excepting only the obligation to pay Fixed
Rent (other than Additional Rent arising out of any failure of Tenant to perform its obligations under this Lease), which obligation shall commence when the Term commences. 

 

	 	D.	No work which Landlord permits Tenant to do pursuant to this Lease, whether in the nature of erection, construction, alteration or repair, shall be deemed
to be for the immediate use and benefit of Landlord so that no construction or other lien shall be allowed against the estate of Landlord by reason of any consent given by Landlord to Tenant to improve the Leased Premises. Tenant shall pay promptly
all persons furnishing labor or materials with respect to any work performed by Tenant or its contractors on or about the Leased Premises. In the event any construction or other lien or notice of intention to claim such lien shall at any time be
filed against the Leased Premises or the Building by reason of work, labor, services or materials performed or furnished, or alleged to be performed or furnished, to Tenant or to anyone holding the Leased Premises through or under Tenant, Tenant
shall, within fifteen (15) days after notice of the filing thereof, cause the same to be discharged of record or bonded to the satisfaction of Landlord. If Tenant shall fail to cause such lien or notice to be discharged or bonded within the
period aforesaid then, in addition to any other right or remedy of Landlord, Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, discharge it by paying the amount claimed to be due, and the amount so paid by Landlord including reasonable attorneys’
fees incurred by Landlord in procuring the discharge of such lien or notice, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate, shall be due and payable by Tenant to Landlord as Additional Rent. 

 

	 	E.	Tenant shall be responsible for and shall pay to Landlord, upon demand and as Additional Rent, all attorneys, architectural, engineering and other
professional fees and expenses with respect to any and all review and approval regarding Tenant’s improvements to the Leased Premises including, but not limited to, Landlord’s in-house professionals and staff. 

  
 - 7 -

	 	F.	After commencement of Tenant’s Term, Tenant shall have no right to cancel this Lease, seek a diminution of Rent, sue for damages, or assert any other
contractual, legal or equitable remedy based either on a claim that Landlord failed to deliver possession in accordance with the terms of this Lease or based on a claim that the size, location, layout, dimensions or construction of the Leased
Premises or the Building in which the Leased Premises is located or service areas (if any), sidewalks, parking or other common areas (if any), or any other facilities to be furnished by Landlord, were not completed or furnished in accordance with
the terms of this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if after commencement of Tenant’s Term, and during the Term hereof, Landlord is in default under any of its Lease obligations, Tenant shall have such rights at law or equity to which it
may be entitled on account of such default, except that Tenant hereby waives any right to cancel or terminate this Lease or to seek a diminution of Rent. After commencement of Tenant’s Term, Tenant shall be deemed to have certified to Landlord
and to the holder of any mortgage to which this Lease is, or shall thereafter be, subject and subordinate, that the Leased Premises has been delivered to it in accordance with the terms of this Lease, that possession thereof has been fully and
completely accepted by Tenant who is then in possession of the same, and that the date for the payment of Annual Fixed Rent hereunder have all theretofore commenced and that the Leased Premises, the parking area, and all other portions of the
Building have been completed in accordance with the requirements and terms of this Lease and that there has not been any violation of any of the Lease terms on the part of the Landlord. The forgoing provision shall be self-operative and no further
instrument, letter or certificate shall be required by the Landlord or any such mortgagee unless either said Landlord or mortgagee shall deem same appropriate, in which event, in confirmation of the forgoing, the Tenant shall promptly execute, in
writing, any instrument, letter and/or certificate containing the foregoing and each other like provisions in regard to the condition of the Leased Premises, the Building in which the Leased Premises is located, the Rent(s) and Term as shall be
requested by the Landlord and/or said mortgagee and Tenant hereby constitutes and appoints Landlord the Tenant’s attorney-in-fact to execute any such instruments), letter(s) and/or certificate(s) for and on behalf of the Tenant.

  

	 	G.	 All unattached, movable trade fixtures and movable furniture (as distinguished from leasehold improvements) owned by Tenant and installed
in the Leased Premises shall remain the property of Tenant and shall be removable at any time, including upon the expiration of the Term; provided Tenant shall not at such time be in default of any terms, conditions, provisions or covenants of this
Lease, and provided further that Tenant shall repair any damage to the Leased Premises caused by the removal of said fixtures and furniture. If Tenant is in default, Landlord shall have the benefit of any applicable lien on Tenant’s property
located in or on the Leased Premises as may be permitted under any federal or state laws, and in the event such lien is asserted or filed by Landlord in any manner or by operation of law, Tenant shall not remove or permit the removal of said
property until the lien has been removed and all defaults have been cured and Tenant hereby expressly grants to Landlord a security interest in all of Tenant’s property located

  
 - 8 -

	 	
in or on the Leased Premises. This Lease Agreement also is intended to be a security agreement under the Uniform Commercial Code and Landlord shall be entitled to all the rights and remedies of a
Secured Party under said Uniform Commercial Code in addition to all of its rights and remedies hereunder or under other applicable law or agreement with Tenant. 

 11. Alterations by Tenant. 
  

	 	A.	Tenant shall not make during the Lease Term, or any extensions thereof, any alterations or additions to the Leased Premises unless with the prior written
approval of Landlord and then only in accordance with plans and specifications therefor approved by Landlord and subject to such conditions as Landlord may require, including, but not limited to, that Tenant be required to pay for any increased cost
to Landlord occasioned thereby or attributed thereto (including, but not limited to, any increase in real estate taxes, omitted or added assessments, insurance and the like, the entirety of such increases to be borne solely by Tenant separate from
and in addition to Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Cost of Operation and Maintenance) and to readapt the Leased Premises prior to the termination of this Lease, all without expense to Landlord. However, any such alterations or additions which
may be approved by Landlord and made by Tenant shall be deemed part of the Leased Premises or the Building and shall not thereafter be removed by Tenant unless Landlord shall require removal of same, either in conjunction with its approval or by
notice to Tenant given prior to the termination of this Lease. 

  

	 	B.	All alterations and additions by Tenant and installation of furnishings following occupancy shall be performed outside the normal business hours (unless Landlord shall
permit such work to be done at other times) and shall be coordinated with any work being performed by Landlord and performed in such manner and by such contractors) as to assure harmonious labour relations and so as not to damage the Building or
interfere with its operations and, except for installation of furnishings only, shall be performed by Landlord’s contractors or workmen or other contractors or workmen first approved by Landlord. 

 

	 	C.	 As further conditions to Landlord’s approval of any proposed alterations or additions by Tenant which are to be made after the beginning of the
Lease Term, Tenant shall (i) secure all necessary governmental approvals, licenses and permits; (ii) cause the contractor(s) and subcontractors) to carry Worker’s Compensation insurance in amounts approved by Landlord and also
comprehensive public liability insurance with limits as approved by Landlord, and deliver to Landlord certificates of all such insurance; and (iii) not voluntarily suffer nor permit any construction, laborer’s or materialmen’s lien,
or notice thereof, to be filed against the Leased Premises or any part thereof by reason of work, labor, services or materials supplied or claimed to have been supplied to Tenant; and if any construction, laborer’s or materialmen’s lien or
notice shall at any time be filed against the Leased Premises or any part thereof, Tenant, within fifteen (15) days after notice of the filing thereof, shall cause it to be discharged of record by payment, deposit, bond, order of a court of
competent jurisdiction or otherwise. If Tenant shall fail to cause such lien or notice to be discharged or bonded within the period aforesaid, then, in addition to any other right or remedy, Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, discharge it
either by paying the amount claimed to be 

  
 - 9 -

	 	
due or by procuring the discharge of such lien by deposit or by bonding proceedings. Any amount so paid by Landlord, plus all of Landlord’s costs and expenses associated therewith, shall
constitute Additional Rent payable by Tenant under this Lease and shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord on demand. 

  

	 	D.	Tenant shall be responsible for and shall pay to Landlord, upon demand and as Additional Rent, all attorneys, architectural, engineering and other
professional fees and expenses incurred with respect to any and all review and approval regarding Tenant’s alterations or additions to the Leased Premises, including, but not limited to, Landlord’s in-house professionals and staff.

  

	 	E.	Nothing in this Lease shall be deemed or construed in any way as constituting consent by Landlord for the making of any alterations or additions by Tenant
within the meaning of N.J.S.A. 2A:44A-1 et seq., or any amendment thereof, or constituting a request by Landlord, express or implied, to any contractor, subcontractor, laborer or materialman for the performance of any labor for
the use or benefit of Landlord. 

  

	 	F.	Tenant shall promptly pay when due the costs and expenses of all such alterations and additions as referred to in this Section 11 and shall indemnify
Landlord against any loss, cost or expense occasioned directly or indirectly as a result of such alterations and additions, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ and other professional fees and expenses. 

 

	 	G.	Landlord hereby consents to the installation by Tenant of large screen monitors on the walls of the Leased Premises, provided that Tenant shall remove the
same at the expiration or earlier termination of the Term and repair any damage cause by such installation and removal. 

 12. Permitted Use. Tenant covenants and agrees to initially and continuously use and occupy the Leased Premises and such use and occupancy shall be only in conformity with the laws or
requirements of any governmental authority and for the use specified in Section 1 hereof and not to use nor permit any use of the Leased Premises which creates any safety hazard, or which would be dangerous to the Leased Premises, the Building
or the occupants of same, or which would be disturbing to other tenants or occupants of the Building, or which would cause any increase in premium for any insurance which the Landlord may then have in effect with respect to the Building generally.

 13. Cost of Operation and Maintenance; Real Estate Taxes. 

 

	 	A.	Cost of Operation and Maintenance. 

  

	 	(i)	For the purposes of this Lease; 

  

	 	(a)	 The term “Cost of Operation and Maintenance” shall mean all fees, charges, costs and expenses paid or incurred by Landlord or on behalf of
Landlord with respect to the ownership, operation, cleaning, repair, safety, management, security and maintenance of the Leased Premises, the Building and the Common Areas (described as those areas and facilities which may be furnished by Landlord
in or near the Palmer Square and Retail Center Area, as set forth on Schedule A-2, for the non-exclusive general common

which may be considered capital improvements, capital repairs, capital changes or any other capital costs as determined under generally accepted accounting principles except for capital improvements required by any laws not in existence and not in
effect as of the Commencement Date, in which case such costs shall be capitalized and amortized over their useful life determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. 

 

	 	(b)	The costs and expenses incurred in operating and maintaining or in causing to be operated or maintained the Common Areas (including all parking areas) pursuant to this
Section shall be allocated on an equitable basis among the respective classes of retail, office, hotel, restaurant and residential occupants of the Palmer Square and Retail Center Area. For the purposes of this Section, Landlord’s operating
costs shall include all amounts, costs of operation and expenditures (as hereinabove defined) which are identified as applicable and relating solely to the total leasable office floor area in the Palmer Square and Retail Center Area and that portion
of the Common Areas reasonably allocable thereto, together with those items, amounts, costs and expenditures which (if they cannot be so specifically identified) are allocated on an equitably proportionate basis to said office floor area and Common
Areas. 

  
 - 11 -

	 	(c)	“Base Expense Year” shall be the 2014 calendar year. 

  

	 	(d)	“Operational Year” shall mean each calendar year after the Base Expense Year. 

 

	 	(e)	“Tenant’s Projected Share” shall mean Tenant’s Proportionate Share multiplied by Landlord’s written estimate of increase of Cost of Operation
and Maintenance for the ensuing calendar year over the Base Expenses, said written estimate to be delivered by Landlord to Tenant during December of each year. Tenant’s Projected Share shall be divided by twelve (12) and shall be payable
on the first of each month, starting on the Commencement Date by Tenant to Landlord as Additional Rent. 

  

	 	(f)	“Tenant’s Proportionate Share” shall be equal to 2.51 percent. 

 

	 	(g)	The term “Base Expenses” shall mean the annualized Cost of Operation and Maintenance for the Base Expense Year. For purposes of determining Tenant’s
Proportionate Share of increase relating to increases in the Cost of Operation and Maintenance, the Base Expenses shall be deemed to have been incurred by Landlord during the Base Expense Year. 

 

	 	(ii)	(a) After the expiration of the Base Expense Year and each Operational Year, Landlord shall furnish Tenant a written detailed statement prepared by Landlord of the Cost
of Operation and Maintenance incurred for such Base Expense Year or Operational Year. During the period of thirty (30) days after receipt of Landlord’s Statement, Tenant may inspect the records of the material reflected in said
Landlord’s Statement at a reasonable time mutually agreeable to Landlord and Tenant. Within thirty (30) days after receipt of such Statement for any Operational Year setting forth Tenant’s proportionate Share of any increase of Cost
of Operation and Maintenance during such Operational Year over the Cost of Operation and Maintenance in the Base Expense Year (said increase being referred to herein as the “Cost Increase”), Tenant shall pay same (less the amount of
Tenant’s Projected Share paid by Tenant on account thereof) to Landlord as Additional Rent. 

  

	 	(a)	 Commencing with the First Operational Year, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, Tenant’s Projected Share. If Landlord’s
Statement at the end of the then Operational Year shall indicate that Tenant’s Projected Share exceeded Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Cost Increase, Landlord shall credit the amount of such excess against the subsequent payment of
Additional Rent due hereunder. If Landlord’s Statement shall 

  
 - 12 -

	 	
indicate that Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Cost Increase exceeded Tenant’s Projected Share for the then Operational Year, Tenant shall forthwith pay the amount of such excess to
Landlord. If said Landlord’s Statement is furnished to Tenant after the commencement of such Operational Year, there shall be promptly paid by Tenant to Landlord an amount equal to the portion of such payment allocable to the part of such
Operational Year which shall have elapsed prior to the first day of the calendar month next succeeding the calendar month in which said Landlord’s Statement is furnished to Tenant. 

 

	 	(iii)	If the Term shall expire on a date other than December 31st, any Additional Rent for the Lease Year in which the date of expiration of the Term shall occur shall
be apportioned in that percentage which the number of days in the period from January 1st of such Lease Year to such date of expiration, both inclusive, shall bear to the total number of days in the calendar year in which such expiration
occurs. 

  

	 	(a)	Landlord’s Statements shall be rendered to Tenant, but Landlord’s failure to render Landlord’s Statement with respect to any Operational Year or
Landlord’s delay in rendering said Statement beyond a date specified herein shall not prejudice Landlord’s right to render a Landlord’s Statement with respect to that or any subsequent Operational Year. The obligations of Landlord and
Tenant under the provisions of this Section with respect to any Additional Rent shall survive the expiration or any sooner termination of the Term. Landlord shall use its best efforts to deliver said Landlord’s Statements within one hundred
twenty (120) days. 

  

	 	(b)	Each Landlord’s Statement shall be conclusive and binding upon Tenant unless within thirty (30) days after receipt of such Landlord’s Statement Tenant
shall notify Landlord that it disputes the correctness of Landlord’s Statement, specifying the respects in which Landlord’s Statement is claimed to be incorrect. Pending the determination of such disputes hereinafter provided, Tenant shall
pay Additional Rent in accordance with the applicable Landlord’s Statement, and such payment shall be without prejudice to Tenant’s position. In the event that Tenant disputes the computation set forth on Landlord’s Statement, Tenant
shall have the right to retain an independent certified public accountant, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, to inspect the records of the material reflected on said Statement and in the event said accountant determines that Landlord’s
Statement was in error, the dispute shall be referred to arbitration in accordance with the Commercial Rules of the American Arbitration Association for expedited arbitration. If the dispute shall be determined in Tenant’s favor, Tenant shall
be entitled to a credit against Additional Rent, including a credit for Tenant’s reasonable expenses incurred in hiring an accountant, thereafter payable in the amount of Tenant’s overpayment of Additional Rent resulting from compliance
with Landlord’s Statement. 

  
 - 13 -

	 	(iv)	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in no event shall the aggregate credits allowable to Tenant in any Operational Year pursuant to this Section exceed the
Additional Rent payable by Tenant pursuant to this Section, it being the intention of Landlord and Tenant that the Fixed Rent payable by Tenant hereunder shall not be reduced by reason of any decrease in the Cost of Maintenance and Operation.

  

	 	B.	Real Estate Taxes. 

  

	 	(i)	Commencing with the First Operational Year (as defined in Subsection A.(i)(d) above, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, the increase over the Base
Expense Year of Tenant’s Projected Share of all real estate taxes, ad valorem taxes and assessments, general and special assessments, taxes on real estate rental receipts, taxes on Landlord’s gross receipts, business use and occupancy
taxes, business operations taxes, or any other tax imposed upon or levied against real estate or upon owners of real estate provided Tenant shall not be responsible for any inheritance tax or realty transfer tax as such rather than personalty
generally, or payments made to a federal, state or local government authority by Landlord in lieu of any such taxes or assessments, payable with respect to or allocable to the entire tax lot of which the Leased Premises is a part, together with the
reasonable cost (including fees of attorneys, consultants and appraisers) of any negotiation, contest or appeal pursued by Landlord in an effort to reduce any such tax, assessment or charge, the same being collectively referred to herein as
“Taxes”. Tenant’s proportionate share of Taxes for any Tax Year shall be computed by multiplying the amount of such Taxes by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Floor Area of the Leased Premises and the denominator of
which shall be the total Floor Area of all leaseable premises in the tax lot. For the Tax Year in which the Term commences or terminates, Tenant’s liability for its proportionate share of any Taxes shall be subject to a prorata adjustment based
upon the number of days of such Tax Year falling within the Term. 

  

	 	(ii)	 Tenant’s proportionate share of Taxes shall be paid by Tenant, in equal monthly installments, in such amounts as are estimated and billed for each
Tax Year by Landlord at the commencement of the Term and at the beginning of each successive Tax Year during the Term, each such installment being due on the first day of each calendar month. Within sixty (60) days after Landlord’s receipt
of tax bills for each Tax Year, or such reasonable (in Landlord’s determination) time thereafter, Landlord will certify to Tenant the amount of Taxes for the Tax Year in question and the amount of Tenant’s proportionate share thereof. The
proportionate share of Taxes paid or payable for each Tax Year shall be adjusted between Landlord and Tenant, both Landlord and Tenant hereby agreeing that Tenant shall pay Landlord or Landlord shall credit Tenant’s account (or, if such
adjustment is at the end of the Term, pay Tenant), as the case may be, within thirty (30) days of the aforesaid certification to Tenant, such amount necessary to effect such adjustment. The failure of

  
 - 14 -

	 	
Landlord to provide such certification within the time prescribed above shall not relieve Tenant of its obligations generally or for the specific Tax Year in which any such failure occurs.

  

	 	(iii)	The term “Tax Year” shall mean the twelve (12) full calendar months of the Term commencing with the January 1st immediately following the first day
of the Term and shall end December 31st of such calendar year; thereafter, each Tax Year shall consist of successive periods of twelve (12) calendar months; provided, however, that the first Tax Year shall commence on the first day of the
Term and terminate on the immediately following 31st day of December, and the last Tax Year shall terminate on the last day of the Term. 

  

	 	(iv)	In addition to Tenant’s proportionate share of Taxes, Tenant shall pay to the appropriate agency any and all sales taxes, excise taxes and business use and
occupancy taxes (not including, however, Landlord’s income taxes) levied, imposed or assessed by the State of New Jersey or any political subdivision thereof or other taxing authority, upon any Rental payable hereunder.

  

	 	(v)	If, at any time following the execution of this Lease, the method or scope of taxation prevailing at the date of such execution shall be altered, modified or enlarged
so as to cause the method of taxation to be changed, in whole or in part, so that some other tax, levy or other imposition is substituted in whole or in part for the real estate taxes assessed against the Leased Premises on the date of execution of
this Lease, then, and in such event, each and every such substituted tax or other imposition shall be payable and discharged by Tenant in the manner required pursuant to the law promulgating such tax or other imposition. If any such substitute tax
or other imposition shall be in the form of an income tax or in the form of any other tax or imposition which the law promulgating the same shall require Landlord to pay, then Tenant shall pay Landlord, as Additional Rental, during the Term of this
Lease, such amount as shall be equivalent to the amount by which the real estate taxes have been decreased or diminished. Such payments shall be made by Tenant to Landlord at such time or times as Landlord shall be required to pay such substitute
taxes in accordance with law and with the provisions of this Lease. 

  

	 	(vi)	It being Tenant’s obligation to pay all real estate taxes assessed against the Leased Premises, as provided elsewhere in this Lease, the parties recognize and
acknowledge that the intent and purpose of this paragraph is to provide against and assure that Landlord does not suffer nor sustain any diminution in the Landlord’s gross receipts from the rental of the Leased Premises resulting from any
change in the scope or form of taxation which has the effect of shifting any of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, or any part thereof, to Landlord; and Tenant hereby agrees to protect Landlord against any such diminution in gross receipts
as a result thereof, provided that Tenant shall not be responsible for taxes incurred by Landlord solely as a result of Landlord’s change in structure, entity or corporate make-up. 

  
 - 15 -

	 	C.	Any Additional Rent payable pursuant to this Section also shall be collectible by Landlord in the same manner as Fixed Rent and Landlord shall have the same remedies
for non-payment thereof as Landlord has hereunder for non-payment of Fixed Rent. 

 14. Building Operation
and Services. 
  

	 	A.	Landlord shall, subject to the conditions and limitations set forth in Sections 13, 15 and 16, furnish heat, ventilating, and air conditioning services as
normal seasonal changes may require to provide reasonably comfortable space temperature and ventilation for occupants of the Building during normal business operation, daily from 8:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M., except Saturdays, Sundays and the following
Holidays: New Year’s Day, Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day, Presidents Day and Martin Luther King’s Birthday. 

 

	 	B.	Tenant shall pay, as Additional Rent, a charge of $65.00 per hour for each hour Landlord provides, at Tenant’s request, heat or air-conditioning,
other than during the hours and on the days set forth above, which payment shall not be a credit to Tenant in calculating the Cost of Operation and Maintenance pursuant to Section 13. 

 

	 	C.	Cleaning shall be provided by Landlord through Landlord’s employees or independent contractors, in accordance with Schedule “G” attached
hereto. 

  

	 	D.	Fully automatic passenger elevator service shall be provided for the use of all tenants and the general public for access to and from all floors of the
Building. 

  

	 	E.	Elevator service for freight shall be supplied in conjunction with service to other tenants at reasonable times during business hours and at other times
at reasonable charges by management in advance. 

  

	 	F.	Hot and cold water for normal public lavatory purposes only shall be provided. If the Tenant requires water for any additional purposes (including, but
not limited to, private lavatory, kitchen and the like), Tenant shall pay the cost thereof as shown on a meter to be installed and maintained at Tenant’s expense to measure such additional consumption. 

 

	 	G.	 Tenant shall be responsible for the electric energy which is required in the Leased Premises and shall pay the sum of $2.20 per square
foot per year payable as Additional Rent in equal and successive monthly installments of $329.27. If at any time or times after the date of this Lease, the rates at which Landlord purchases electrical energy from the public utility corporation
supplying electrical service to the Leased Premises or to the Building, or any charges incurred or taxes payable by Landlord in connection therewith, shall be increased or Tenant’s use of electricity shall materially increase, the electrical
charge shall be increased upon Landlord’s demand in an annual amount which shall fairly and accurately reflect the estimated increase in the annual cost to Landlord of furnishing electrical service to Tenant under the provisions of this Lease.
If within ten (10) days after any such demand Landlord and Tenant shall fail to agree upon the amount of such increase in the electrical charge, then, in lieu of such agreement, the estimated increase in the

  

- 16 - 

	 	
annual cost to Landlord of furnishing electrical service to Tenant under the provisions of this Lease shall be finally determined by an independent electrical engineer selected by Landlord, who
shall certify such determination in writing to Landlord and Tenant. Landlord’s selection of an independent electrical engineer shall be subject to Tenant’s approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If Tenant does not
disapprove or consent to Landlord’s selection of an engineer within ten (10) days, such selection shall be deemed approved. The cost of such consultant shall be paid by Tenant. Following any such agreement or determination, Landlord and
Tenant shall enter into a written supplementary agreement, in form satisfactory to Landlord, modifying this Lease by increasing the electrical charge for the remainder of the Term in an annual amount equal to such estimated increase in the annual
cost to Landlord of furnishing electrical service to Tenant, as so agreed or determined. Any such increase in the electrical charge shall be effective as of the date of such demand and/or inspection and survey and shall be retroactive to such date
if necessary. Landlord reserves the right to install, at Landlord’s sole cost and expense, a sub-meter in the Leased Premises. 

  

	 	H.	Landlord shall not be liable in any way to Tenant for any failure or defect in the supply or character of electric energy furnished on the Leased Premises
by reason of any requirement, act or omission of the public utility serving the Building with electricity. Tenant’s use of electric energy in the Leased Premises shall not at any time exceed the capacity of any of the electric conductors and
equipment in or otherwise serving the Leased Premises. In order to insure that such capacity is not exceeded and to avert possible adverse effect upon the Building electric service, Tenant shall not, without Landlord’s prior written consent in
each instance, connect to the Building electric distribution system any fixtures, appliances or equipment other than (i) copy machines, (ii) lamps, (iii) computers and similar small office machines which operate on a voltage not in
excess of 110 or make any alterations or additions to the electric systems of the Leased Premises. Should Landlord grant such consent, all additional risers or other equipment required therefore shall be provided by Landlord and the reasonable cost
thereof shall be paid by Tenant upon Landlord’s demand. As a condition to granting such consent, Landlord may require Tenant (i) to agree to an increase in the Annual Fixed Rent in an amount equivalent to the cost of the additional energy
to be furnished to Tenant, or (ii) to cause a separate electric meter to be installed for the Leased Premises at Tenant’s sole cost and expense and to pay to Landlord, at rates as then payable to the public utility company supplying
service to the Building, for all electricity consumed in the Leased Premises (without any adjustment in the Annual Fixed Rent by reason of such costs or expenses or installation or such payments). 

 

	 	I.	Landlord shall furnish and install at Tenant’s expense all replacement lighting tubes, lamps, bulbs, and ballasts required in the Leased Premises.

 15. Interruption in Operations or Services. 

 

	 	A.	In case there is any interruption in the furnishing of any operation or service as set forth in Section 14 herein, Landlord shall not be liable to
Tenant therefor, nor shall Tenant be entitled to any abatement or reduction in Rent by reason thereof, nor shall the same give rise to a claim in Tenant’s favour that such constitutes actual or constructive total or partial eviction.

  

- 17 - 

	 	B.	Landlord reserves the right to stop any operation or service when necessary by reason of accident or emergency, or until necessary repairs have been
completed, provided, however, that in each instance of stoppage, Landlord shall exercise reasonable diligence to eliminate the cause thereof. Except in case of emergency repairs, Landlord will give Tenant reasonable advance notice of any
contemplated stoppage and will use reasonable efforts to avoid unnecessary inconvenience to Tenant by reason thereof. 

 16. Repairs. 
  

	 	A.	Landlord, at its expense, will make, or cause to be made structural repairs to exterior walls, structural columns and structural floors which collectively
enclose the Leased Premises (excluding, however, all doors, door frames, windows and glass) and the roof over the Leased Premises; provided Tenant shall give Landlord notice of the necessity for such repairs and provided that the necessity for such
repairs shall not have arisen from nor shall have been caused by the negligence or willful acts of Tenant, its agents, concessionaires, officers, employees, licensees, invitees or contractors, and the like. 

 

	 	B.	All repairs to the Leased Premises or any installations, equipment or facilities therein, other than those repairs required to be made by Landlord pursuant to
Section 16 A or Section 25, shall be made by Tenant at its expense. (As set forth in Section 13, Landlord shall cause certain repairs and maintenance to be done, on Tenant’s behalf and as Tenant’s agent, for which Tenant
shall remain responsible and for which Tenant shall pay, as provided in Section 13). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Tenant shall keep the interior of the Leased Premises, together with all electrical, plumbing and other
mechanical installations therein (other than items to be repaired by Landlord pursuant to Sections 13 and 16A), in good order and repair and shall make all replacements from time to time required thereto at its expense; Tenant will not overload the
electrical wiring serving the Leased Premises or within the Leased Premises, and will install at its expense, subject to the provisions of Section 14, any additional electrical wiring which may be required in connection with Tenant’s
apparatus. Any damage or injury sustained by any person because of mechanical, electrical, plumbing or any other equipment or installations whose maintenance, repair or cost shall be the responsibility of Tenant, shall be paid for by Tenant, and
Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from and against all claims, actions, damages and liability in connection therewith, including but not limited to, attorneys’ and other professional fees, and any other costs which Landlord
might reasonably incur (as Additional Rent). 

  

	 	C.	 Tenant shall repair promptly, at its expense, any damage to the Leased Premises, and, upon demand, shall reimburse Landlord (as Additional Rent) for
the cost of the repair of any damage elsewhere in the Building, caused by bringing into the Leased Premises any property for Tenant’s use, or by the installation or removal of such property regardless of fault or by whom such damage shall be
caused (unless caused solely by Landlord, its agents, employees or contractors), and in default of such repairs by Tenant, at the expiration of five (5) days after notice to Tenant,

  

- 18 - 

	 	
Landlord may make or cause the same to be made and Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord promptly upon Landlord’s demand, as Additional Rent, the cost thereof with interest thereon at the Default
Rate until paid. 

  

	 	D.	Tenant shall be responsible for and shall pay to Landlord, upon demand and as Additional Rent, all attorneys’, architectural, engineering and other professional
fees and expenses incurred with respect to any and all review and approval regarding Tenant’s repairs to the Leased Premises including, but not limited to, Landlord’s in-house professionals and staff. 

 

	 	E.	Landlord shall not be liable by reason of any injury to or interference with Tenant’s business arising from the making of any repairs, alterations, additions or
improvements in or to the Leased Premises or the Building or to any appurtenances or equipment therein. There shall be no abatement of Rent because of such repairs, alterations, additions or improvements. 

 

	 	F.	Landlord reserves the right at any time and from time to time to: 

  

	 	(i)	Make or permit changes in or revisions to the Palmer Square and Retail Center Area, including without limitation, additions to, subtractions from, rearrangements of,
alterations of, modifications of or supplements to the building areas, walkways, parking areas, driveways or other Common Areas; and 

  

	 	(ii)	Construct other buildings or improvements in the Palmer Square and Retail Center Area and to make alterations thereof or additions thereto and to build additional
stories on any such building or buildings and to build adjoining stories on any such building or buildings and to build adjoining same; and 

  

	 	(iii)	Make or permit changes or revisions to the Building Complex, including additions and alterations thereto; and 

 

	 	(iv)	Convey portions of the Palmer Square and Retail Center Area to others for the purpose of constructing thereon other buildings or improvements, including additions
thereto and alterations thereof; provided, however, that no such changes, rearrangements or other construction shall reduce the parking area provided by Landlord below the number of parking spaces required by law to be provided for the Palmer Square
and Retail Center Area. 

  

	 	G.	Landlord shall have the exclusive right to use all or any part of the roof of the Leased Premises for any purpose; to erect additional stories or other structures over
all or any part of the Leased Premises; to erect in connection with the construction thereof temporary scaffolds and other aids to construction on the exterior of the Leased Premises, provided that access to the Leased Premises shall not be denied;
and to install, maintain, use, repair and replace within the Leased Premises pipes, ducts, conduits, wires and all other mechanical equipment serving other parts of the Palmer Square and Retail Center Area, the same to be in a location within the
leased Premises as will not unreasonably deny Tenant’s use thereof. Landlord may make any use it desires of the side or rear walls of the Leased Premises, provided that such use shall not encroach on the interior of the Leased Premises.

  

- 19 - 

 17. Relocation of Tenant. Landlord, at its sole expense, on at least sixty
(60) days prior written notice, may require Tenant to move from the Leased Premises to another location of comparable size and decor in the Building in order to permit Landlord to consolidate the Leased Premises with other space leased or to be
leased to another tenant provided, however, Tenant, by written notice to Landlord within thirty (30) days after the receipt of any such notice from Landlord, may elect not to move to the other space and in lieu thereof may terminate this Lease.
In the event of any such relocation, Landlord will pay all the expenses of preparing and decorating the new premises so that it will be substantially similar to the Leased Premises and the expense of moving Tenant’s furniture and equipment to
the relocated premises. From and after the date of such relocation, the Annual Fixed Rent specified in Section 1 hereof shall be increased by an amount determined by multiplying the number by which the number of square feet contained in such
relocated space exceeds the total area of Leased Premises (Section 2) by the result obtained by dividing the Annual Fixed Rent specified in Section 1 by the total area of Leased Premises specified in Section 1 (such result being herein
called the “Square Foot Rent”), or shall be decreased by an amount determined by multiplying the Square Foot Rent by the number by which the number of square feet contained in such relocated space is less than said total area of Leased
Premises. However, during the period of time commencing with the date of such relocation and ending on the date immediately preceding the next ensuing Escalation Date, the amount of the Annual Fixed Rent payable during said period shall be
determined by dividing the amount of the Annual Fixed Rent (as escalated pursuant to the provisions of Section 7), payable on the date immediately prior to the date of such relocation by the total area of Leased Premises specified in
Section 1, and then multiplying the result thus obtained by the total area of Leased Premises immediately after such relocation. Commencing with the next ensuing Escalation Date, the Annual Fixed Rent, adjusted as above provided, shall be
escalated as provided in Section 7. 
 18. Quiet Enjoyment. Tenant, upon paying the Annual Fixed Rent and all
Additional Rent (Rent) herein provided for and, upon observing, keeping and performing all covenants, agreements and conditions of this Lease on Tenant’s part to be observed, kept and performed, shall quietly have and enjoy the Leased Premises
throughout the Term of this Lease without hindrance or molestation by Landlord or by anyone claiming by, through or under Landlord, subject, however, to the exceptions, reservations and conditions of this Lease. 

19. Landlord’s Right of Entry. Landlord shall have the right to enter the Leased Premises to perform Landlord’s
covenants as set forth in this Lease, to inspect and to insure Tenant’s compliance with the provisions of this Lease, to make any repairs, replacements or alterations to the Leased Premises or to the Building or to do any work which Landlord
may deem necessary, to show the Leased Premises to prospective purchasers, and also, during the last six (6) months of the Lease Term, to show the Leased Premises to prospective Tenants. 

20. Surrender of Leased Premises. On the last day or sooner termination of the Term, Tenant shall quit and surrender the
Leased Premises broom clean, in good condition and repair (reasonable wear and tear and damage by Acts of God, fire extended coverage perils excepted), together with all alterations, additions and improvements which may have been made in, on or to
the Leased Premises, except moveable furniture or unattached moveable trade fixtures put in at the sole expense of Tenant; provided, however, that Tenant shall ascertain from Landlord at least thirty (30) days before the end of the Term,
whether Landlord desires to have the Leased Premises or any part thereof restored to the condition in which it was originally delivered to Tenant and, if Landlord shall so desire, then Tenant, at its cost and expense, on or before the end of the
Term, shall remove from the Leased Premises all of its property, together with any alterations, additions and improvements, the removal of which is requested by Landlord, and any or all of such property not so removed shall, at Landlord’s
option, become the exclusive property of 

  

- 20 - 

 
Landlord or be disposed of by Landlord, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, without further notice to or demand upon Tenant. If the Leased Premises be not surrendered as and when aforesaid,
Tenant shall indemnify Landlord against loss or liability resulting from the delay by Tenant in so surrendering the Leased Premises including, without limitation, the claims made by any succeeding occupant founded on such delay. Tenant’s
obligation under this Section shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of the Term. 
 21. Miscellaneous
Covenants. Tenant shall faithfully perform all of the covenants and conditions to be performed and observed by Tenant hereunder and, in addition to those covenants and conditions which are set forth elsewhere herein, Tenant agrees:

  

	 	A.	To secure and maintain in effect any governmental approvals, licenses and permits as may be required for Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Leased Premises.

  

	 	B.	Not to place, erect, maintain or display any sign or other marking of any kind whatsoever on the exterior surface of the walls of the Leased Premises or on any door
which faces any common corridor or hallway (other than a sign identifying Tenant which Landlord shall supply), without the prior written approval of the Landlord, and not to install nor replace any entrance door or other door facing on any common
corridor or hallway other than the standard door supplied by Landlord without the prior written approval of Landlord. Subject to Landlord’s prior written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed,
Tenant may install a sign on or about the door to the Leased Premises. Landlord shall include Tenant’s name and location in the Building on Landlord’s lobby directory. 

 

	 	C.	Not to use or place any curtains, blinds, drapes, coverings or signs over any exterior windows or upon the window surfaces as would be visible from the outside of the
Building without the prior written approval of Landlord. 

  

	 	D.	Without the prior written consent of Landlord, not to place within the Leased Premises nor bring into the Building any machinery, equipment or other personalty other
than customary office furnishings, copying machines and small machinery such as computers and other similar items of office equipment, not bring into the Leased Premises nor permit to remain there any item of equipment or machinery or other
personalty having a weight in excess of the floor bearing capacity reasonably determined by Landlord; and in the event Tenant does place or bring in machinery, equipment or personalty other than that provided for above, Landlord may require Tenant
to pay all costs of all structural and other alterations, changes or additions required to be made to the Leased Premises and Building, in the sole judgment of Landlord, for the safe support of such machinery, equipment or personalty, together with
all costs of engineering or other studies required in the sole judgment of Landlord, to determine the required structural and other alterations, changes or additions. 

 

	 	E.	To keep the Leased Premises in good order, condition and repair, reasonable wear and tear excepted, making all repairs and replacements of whatever nature as may be
required in order to do so. 

  

	 	F.	 No X-ray, nuclear or other radiation type equipment or materials shall be used or stored in or about the Leased Premises, the Building or the common
areas unless 

  

- 21 - 

	 	
all municipal, state and federal laws, rules and regulations applicable to the use and/or storage of such equipment or materials have been complied with and the Leased Premises or other place
where such equipment or materials are to be used or stored has been provided with such shielding as may be necessary to prevent any harmful radiation or penetration beyond the confines of the Leased Premises or other place. 

 

	 	G.	Tenant shall not contract for any work or service which might involve the employment of labour incompatible with the employees of the Building Complex, Palmer Square,
Palmer Square North, Palmer Square East or Palmer Square West Areas, including, but not limited to all retail, office, restaurant, hotel, residential and common areas (hereinafter collectively referred to as “Palmer Square”) or with
employees or subcontractors of contractors doing work or performing services by or on behalf of the Landlord, or tenants or other owners of property in Palmer Square. Tenant shall not perform or omit to perform any act, or permit any party with whom
Tenant has contracted for work or service in or about Palmer Square, to perform or omit to perform any act which constitutes an unfair labour practice, or which shall create or prolong any labour dispute, or which shall cause a disruption in the
operation of Palmer Square, or discourage the passage of customers or business invitees to and from Palmer Square or otherwise interfere with the beneficial use and enjoyment of the space leased to, occupied by or being improved or constructed by
any other tenant of Palmer Square or Landlord or other owners of property in Palmer Square. 

 22. Rules and
Regulations. Tenant covenants and agrees that Tenant, its employees, agents, servants, invitees, licensees, contractors, and the like, shall observe faithfully and comply strictly with, the Rules and Regulations contained in Schedule
“H” attached and made a part hereof, and such other and further reasonable Rules and Regulations as Landlord or Landlord’s agents may, after notice to Tenant, from time to time adopt. Nothing in this Lease shall be construed to impose
upon Landlord any duty or obligation to enforce the Rules and Regulations or terms, covenants or conditions in any other lease as against any other tenant, and Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for violation of the same by any other tenant or
such tenant’s servants, employees, agents, invitees, licensees, contractors and the like. 
 23. Performance of
Tenant’s Covenants. If Tenant fails to perform any covenant or observe any condition to be performed or observed by Tenant hereunder or acts in violation of any covenant or condition hereof and, except with respect to covenants
regarding the payment of Annual Fixed Rent or Additional Rent (any other sums due under this Lease), so long as Tenant is not proceeding diligently to correct or cure such default, Landlord may, but shall not be required on behalf of Tenant, perform
such covenant and/or take such steps, including entering upon the Leased Premises, as may be necessary or appropriate to meet the requirements of any such covenant or condition, provided that Landlord shall have given Tenant at least ten
(10) days prior notice of Landlord’s intention to do so, unless an emergency situation exists in which case Landlord shall have the right to proceed immediately; and all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in so doing, including,
without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ and other professional fees and expenses, shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord upon demand, plus interest at the Default Rate from the date of expenditure(s) by Landlord, as Additional Rent.
Landlord’s proceeding under the rights reserved to Landlord under this Section shall not in any way prejudice or waive any rights as Landlord might otherwise have against Tenant by reason of Tenant’s default.

 24. Eminent Domain. 

 

	 	A.	In the event of exercise of the power of eminent domain whereby (i) such portion of the Building is taken that access to the Leased Premises is permanently
impaired thereby and reasonably alternate access is not promptly provided by Landlord or (ii) all or substantially all of the Leased Premises or the Building is taken, or (iii) if less than substantially all of the Building is taken but
Landlord, acting in good faith, determines that it is economically unfeasible to continue to operate the uncondemned portion as a first-class office building, then in the case of (i) or (ii), either party and in the case of (iii), Landlord
shall have the right to terminate this Lease as of the date when possession of that part which was taken is required to be delivered or surrendered to the condemning authority; and in such case all Rent and other charges shall be adjusted to the
date of termination. The foregoing right of termination shall be applicable to the taking of any estate or interest whatsoever which, as a matter of law, would deprive the Landlord or Tenant of the right to possession (in common with others, as to
common areas of the Building) for any period in excess of ninety (90) days from the date of taking, whether or not the taking be in fee for a term of years or of any other estate or interest; and a taking shall include the transfer of title or
of any interest in the Building by deed or other instrument in settlement of or in lieu of transfer by operation of law incident to condemnation proceedings. 

 

	 	B.	Tenant shall have no right to participate nor share in any condemnation claim, damage award or settlement in lieu thereof with respect to any taking of any nature;
provided, however, that Tenant shall not be precluded from claiming or receiving payment for Tenant’s relocation and moving expenses as may be permitted under applicable law so long as the amount of same is not subtracted from the award which
Landlord is entitled to receive. 

 25. Casualty Damage. 

 

	 	A.	In the event of damage to or destruction of the Leased Premises caused by fire or other casualty, or of the entrances and other common facilities necessary to provide
normal access to the Leased Premises or to other portions of the Building or its equipment, which portions and equipment are necessary to provide services to the Leased Premises in accordance herewith, provided not caused by or attributable to any
act or omission of Tenant, its servants, employees, agents, invitees, contractors, and the like, Landlord shall undertake to make repairs and restorations as hereafter provided unless this Lease be terminated by Landlord. 

 

	 	B.	If the Leased Premises shall be totally damaged or rendered wholly untenantable by fire or other casualty or if the Building shall be so damaged by fire or other
casualty that substantial alteration or reconstruction of the Building shall, in Landlord’s opinion, be required (whether or not the Leased Premises shall have been damaged by such fire or other casualty), then in any of such events Landlord
may, at its option, terminate this Lease by giving Tenant thirty (30) days notice of such termination, which notice shall be given within ninety (90) days after the date of such damage. 

 

	 	C.	 If the damage is of such nature or extent, in Landlord’s sole judgment, that more than one hundred eighty (180) consecutive days, after
commencement of the work, would be required (with normal work crews and hours) to repair and restore the part of the Leased Premises or Building which has been damaged, Landlord shall

  

- 23 - 

	 	
so advise Tenant within a reasonable time after said determination, and either party, for a period of ten (10) days thereafter, shall have the right to terminate this Lease by notice to the
other, as of the date specified in such notice, which termination date shall be no later than thirty (30) days after the date of such notice. 

  

	 	D.	In the case of damage to the Leased Premises not caused by the negligence or other tortious acts of Tenant, its agents, employees, contractors, invitees or licensees,
or the like, which is of a nature or extent that Tenant’s continued occupancy is substantially impaired, the Annual Fixed Rent otherwise payable by Tenant hereunder shall be equitably abated or adjusted for the duration of such impairment,
after and if such continues for thirty (30) continuous business days. 

  

	 	E.	In connection with the foregoing, Landlord, if Landlord elects to repair and restore, shall restore the Leased Premises to substantially its condition prior to the
occurrence of the damage, provided that Landlord shall not be obligated to repair or restore any alterations, additions or fixtures which Tenant may have installed (whether or not Tenant has the right or the obligation to remove the same or is
required to leave the same on the Leased Premises as of the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease) unless Tenant, in a manner satisfactory to Landlord, assures payment in full of all costs as may be incurred by Landlord in connection
therewith. If there be any such alterations, fixtures or additions and Tenant does not assure or agree to assure payment of the cost of restoration or repair as aforesaid, Landlord shall have the right to determine the manner in which the Leased
Premises shall be restored so as to be substantially as the Leased Premises existed prior to the damage occurring, as if such alterations, additions or fixtures had not then been made or installed. 

 

	 	F.	Anything to the contrary in this Lease notwithstanding, expressed or implied, Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant for and shall have no duty to repair, replace
or restore any damage whatsoever to Tenant’s personal property or Tenant’s alterations occurring as a result of fire or other casualty or leakage or seepage of water or any other liquid from any source whatsoever, or breakage of any pipes,
mains or other plumbing located in or about the Building, or snow, frost, steam, excessive heat or cold, falling plaster, sewage, gas, odors, noise, or by air conditioning or heating apparatus. Furthermore Landlord has no obligation to repair or
restore in event of casualty or damage caused by an event which is uninsured or for which payment will not be made by an insurance company. 

 26. Brokerage. Tenant and Landlord each represents that in the negotiation of this Lease it dealt with no real estate broker or salesman except Trillium Realty Advisors LLC and NAI Fennelly.
Tenant and Landlord each hereby agrees to indemnify the other and hold it harmless from any and all losses, damages and expenses arising out of any inaccuracy or alleged inaccuracy of the above representation, including court costs and
attorneys’ fees. Landlord shall have no liability for brokerage commissions arising out of a sublease by Tenant and Tenant shall and does hereby indemnify Landlord and hold Landlord harmless from any and all liability for brokerage commissions
arising out of any such sublease. Landlord shall pay the commissions of NAI Fennelly and Trillium Realty Advisors LLC pursuant to separate agreement.

 27. Advance Rent and Security Deposit. 

 

	 	A.	Landlord acknowledges receipt from Tenant of the Advance Rent ($5,687.33), which shall be paid upon execution of the within Lease by Tenant, and shall be held by
Landlord as security for the performance by Tenant of all obligations imposed under this Lease which Tenant is required to perform prior to the commencement of the Term. If such sum is not paid within three (3) days of Tenant’s execution
of this Lease, Landlord shall have the option to terminate this Lease without any liability to Tenant. Upon commencement of the Term, said Advance Rent shall be applied towards Tenant’s first monthly installment of Annual Fixed Rent.

  

	 	B.	Upon execution of the within Lease, Tenant shall deposit with Landlord the sum of $11,374.66 (the “Security Deposit”) which sum equals two
(2) months’ Annual Fixed Rent under this Lease, as security for the faithful performance and observance by Tenant of the terms, provisions and conditions of this Lease. In the event that Tenant defaults in respect of any of the terms,
provisions and conditions of this Lease, including without limitation, the payment of Fixed Rent and Additional Rent, Landlord may use apply or retain the whole or any part of the Security Deposit to the extent required for the payment of any Fixed
Rent, Additional Rent or any other sum as to which Tenant is in default or for any sum which Landlord may expend or may be required to expend by reason of Tenant’s default in respect of any of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease,
including, without limitation, all reasonable attorneys’ and other professional fees and expenses and any damages or deficiency in reletting the Leased Premises accrued before or after any summary proceedings or other re-entry by Landlord.

  

	 	C.	In the event that Tenant shall fully and faithfully comply with all of the terms, provisions, covenants and conditions of this Lease, the Security Deposit except as
same may have been applied by Landlord in accordance with this Lease, shall be returned to Tenant within forty-five (45) days after the Expiration Date or such earlier termination date of this Lease, provided such earlier termination is not due
to Tenant’s default, and after Tenant has delivered entire possession of the Leased Premises to Landlord in accordance with all of the terms and provisions of this Lease. 

 

	 	D.	Tenant agrees that in the event Landlord applies any portion of the Security Deposit in accordance with the provisions of this Lease, Tenant shall immediately upon
demand of Landlord reimburse or pay Landlord for the amount of the Security Deposit so applied or for the increase in Fixed Rent so that the amount constituting the Security Deposit during the Term of this Lease shall always be equal to two
(2) months’ Annual Fixed Rent. 

  

	 	E.	In the event of a sale of the Building or leasing of the Building, or of the portion of the Building in which the Leased Premises is located, Landlord shall have the
right to transfer the Security Deposit to the vendee or lessee and Landlord shall thereupon be released by Tenant from all liability for the return of the Security Deposit, and Tenant agrees to look solely to the new Landlord for the return of the
Security Deposit and it is agreed that the provisions hereof shall apply to every transfer or assignment made of the Security Deposit to a new Landlord. 

  

	 	F.	Tenant further agrees that it will not assign or encumber or attempt to assign or encumber the monies constituting the Security Deposit and that neither Landlord nor
its successors or assigns shall be bound by any such assignment, encumbrance or attempted assignment or encumbrance.

 28. Mortgagee and Other Agreements. 

 

	 	A.	In the event any person, firm, corporation or other entity who is a party to any instrument to which this Lease is subject or subordinate including, but not limited to,

the Landlord hereunder in the Building or parcel of land on which it is erected or acquires the right to possession of the Building or parcel of land on which it is erected, such person, firm, corporation or other entity shall not be (i) liable
for any act or omission of the party named above as Landlord under this Lease; (ii) liable for the performance of Landlord’s covenants hereunder which arise and accrue prior to such person, firm, corporation or other entity succeeding to
the interest of Landlord hereunder or acquiring such right to possession; (iii) subject to any offsets or defenses which Tenant may have at any time against Landlord; (iv) bound by any Rent which the Tenant may have paid previously for
more than one month; and (v) in the event the unexpired Term of this Lease exceeds three (3) years at the time of such succession or acquisition of the right to possession, shall not be bound by any amendment or modification hereof
relating to the reduction of Rent, shortening of Term, or effecting a cancellation or surrender hereof and made without the consent of such person, firm, corporation or other entity. Landlord shall use its best efforts to secure a non-disturbance
agreement in a form reasonably acceptable to Tenant from any present or future mortgagee. 

  

	 	B.	Tenant agrees, from time to time as may be requested by Landlord, to execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord all or any of the following: 

 

	 	    	an agreement to recognize and attorn to any mortgagee or party holding a similar encumbrance now or hereafter placed on the Leased Premises, or any part thereof; an
agreement certifying to such party as the Landlord reasonably may designate, including any mortgagee, that this Lease is in full force and effect and that Tenant has no defense, offsets or counterclaims hereunder or otherwise against Landlord with
respect to this Lease or the Leased Premises (or if any of the foregoing not be the case, specifying in reasonable detail the extent and nature thereof) and the date to which Rent has been paid; and any other instrument as may be reasonably
requested to be executed by Tenant by any mortgagee of the parcel of land, Building or any interest therein, so long as the rights of Tenant as provided for by this Lease are not materially affected by any such other instrument.

  

	 	C.	Notwithstanding the execution and delivery of the within Lease Agreement by Landlord, this Lease, and the respective rights and obligations of Landlord and Tenant
hereunder, are expressly subject to the approval of all of the terms and provisions of this Lease by Landlord’s interim and permanent lenders. 

  

- 26 - 

 29. Subordination. 

 

	 	A.	This Lease and the estate, interests and rights hereby created are subordinate to any mortgage now or hereafter placed upon the said parcel of land, the Building or any
interest therein including, without limitation, any mortgage on any leasehold estate and subordinate to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions of same as well as any substitutions thereof. 

 

	 	B.	In the event that a bona fide institutional lender shall request reasonable modifications in this Lease, as a condition of providing Landlord with financing for the
construction of any alterations or improvements of the Leased Premises, Building, Palmer Square and Retail Center Area, then Tenant shall not unreasonably withhold or delay its written consent to such modifications provided that same do not
materially increase the obligations of Tenant hereunder or materially adversely affect either the leasehold interest hereby created or Tenant’s use and enjoyment of the Leased Premises. 

 

	 	C.	Tenant, if requested by Landlord, shall execute any such instruments in recordable form as may be reasonably required by Landlord in order to confirm or effect the
subordination of this Lease in accordance with the terms of this Section and any other Section herein; and agrees that in the event any person, firm, corporation or other entity acquires the right to possession of the land and the Building free of
the leasehold interest of the Landlord aforesaid, including any mortgagee or holder of any estate or interest having priority over this Lease, Tenant shall, if requested by such person, firm, corporation or other entity, attorn to and become the
Tenant of such person, firm, corporation or other entity upon the same terms and conditions as are set forth herein for the balance of the Lease Term hereof. 

 

	 	D.	Tenant agrees to give any mortgagee of Landlord, by certified mail, return receipt requested, a copy of any notice of default served upon Landlord, provided that prior
to such notice Tenant has been notified of the address of such mortgagee. Tenant further agrees that if Landlord shall fail to cure such default within the time allowed by this Lease, then such mortgagee shall have an additional thirty
(30) days within which to cure such default (but shall in no event be obligated to cure such default), or if such default cannot be cured within that time, then such additional time as may be necessary if within such thirty (30) days such
mortgagee has commenced and diligently pursued the remedies necessary to cure such default in which event Tenant shall continue to be bound by the terms of this Lease while such remedies are being so diligently pursued. 

30. Assignment and Subletting. 
  

	 	A.	Tenant shall not assign this Lease, in whole or in part, nor sublet all or any part of the Leased Premises, nor license concessions or lease departments therein,
without first obtaining the written consent of Landlord, which consent may be withheld in the sole and absolute discretion of Landlord. This prohibition includes any subletting or assignment which would otherwise occur by operation of law, merger,
consolidation, reorganization, transfer or other change of Tenant’s corporate or proprietary structure, or an assignment, subletting to or by a receiver or trustee in any federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, or other proceedings. Consent by
Landlord to any assignment or subletting shall not constitute a waiver of any obligation of the Tenant to Landlord (it being understood that Tenant shall remain liable notwithstanding any assignment or subletting) nor shall consent by the Landlord
constitute a waiver of the requirement for such consent to any subsequent assignment or subletting. 

  

- 27 - 

	 	B.	Notwithstanding subparagraph A above, if this Lease is assigned to any person or entity pursuant to the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C., § 101
et seq. (the “Bankruptcy Code”), any and all monies or other considerations payable or otherwise to be delivered in connection with such assignment shall be paid or delivered to Landlord and shall be and remain the exclusive
property of Landlord or of the estate of Landlord within the meaning of the Bankruptcy Code. Any and all monies or other considerations constituting Landlord’s property under the preceding sentence not paid or delivered to Landlord shall be
held in trust for the benefit of Landlord and be promptly paid or delivered to Landlord. 

  

	 	C.	If Tenant is a corporation or partnership (other than a corporation, the outstanding voting stock of which is listed on a “national securities exchange”, as
defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) and at any time after the execution of this Lease any part or all of the corporate or partnership shares of interest shall be transferred by sale, assignment, bequest, inheritance, operation of law or
other disposition (including such a transfer to or by a receiver or trustee in federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, or other proceedings) so as to result in a change in the present control of said corporation or partnership by the person or
persons now owning a majority of said corporate or partnership shares or interest, Tenant shall give Landlord notice of such event within fifteen (15) days from the date of such transfer. In such event and whether or not Tenant has given such
notice, Landlord may elect to terminate this Lease, at any time thereafter, by giving Tenant notice of such election, in which event this Lease and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder, shall cease as of a date set forth in such
notice which date shall not be less than sixty 60 days after the date of such notice. In the event of any such termination, all Rent (other than any Additional Rent due Landlord resulting from Tenant’s failure to perform any of its obligations
hereunder) shall be adjusted as of the date of such termination. 

  

	 	D.	The acceptance by Landlord of the payment of Rent following any assignment or other transfer prohibited by this Section shall not be deemed to be a consent by Landlord
to any such assignment or other transfer nor shall the same be deemed to be a waiver of any rights or remedy of Landlord hereunder. 

  

	 	E.	 In the event that Landlord consents to a subletting of the Leased Premises, or any assignment of this Lease by Tenant, Landlord shall be entitled to
recapture and receive payment from Tenant of fifty (50%) percent of any profit realized by Tenant from assignment of the Lease or subletting of the Leased Premises at a Rent greater than the Rent reserved hereunder. Tenant shall pay any such
profit to Landlord promptly upon its receipt by Tenant, whether it is received in monthly or other periodic payments or in a lump sum. For purposes of this Section “profit” shall refer to the difference between: (i) all payments made
by a subtenant or assignee to Tenant as Rent or otherwise under or in connection with said assignment or sublease; and (ii) the costs and expenses paid by Tenant in connection with said assignment or sublease including the Annual Fixed Rent and
Additional Rent payable hereunder with respect to the assigned or sublet space and the reasonable brokerage, legal and alteration expenses, if any, incurred in connection with said assignment or sublease, calculated as if amortized over the

  

- 28 - 

	 	
Lease Term. Promptly after the commencement of any such assignment or sublease Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a statement of the expenses incurred in connection with the assignment or
subletting and payments of the profit in connection therewith shall be made monthly as Additional Rent hereunder. 

  

	 	F.	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, Tenant may, without Landlord’s prior written consent, but upon prior written notice to Landlord,
sublet all or any portion of the Leased Premises or assign Tenant’s interest in this Lease to: (a) a subsidiary, affiliate, parent or other entity of Tenant which controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, Tenant;
(b) a successor entity to Tenant resulting from merger, consolidation, non-bankruptcy reorganization, or government action; or (c) a purchaser of all or any significant portion of Tenant’s stock or assets. The foregoing specifically
is subject to the present Tenant remaining fully and completely liable for the performance of all of the terms, covenants, conditions and provisions of the Lease and Schedules on the part of Tenant to be observed and performed, and Tenant not being
in default of any term, covenant, condition or provision of this Lease, either monetary or non-monetary. Assignments or subleases contemplated by this Section 30F shall not be subject to the terms and provisions of Sections 30C and 30E.

 31. Default. 
  

	 	A.	 Any other provisions in this Lease notwithstanding, if (i) Tenant fails to pay any Rent or other sum of money due hereunder within five
(5) business days of the date when due or (ii) Tenant abandons the Leased Premises, or (iii) Tenant fails to observe or perform any of the other Tenant covenants or agreements herein contained, other than a default involving the
payment of money, and such failure continues after notice for more than fifteen (15) days and such additional time, if any, as is reasonably necessary to cure such failure, provided that Tenant has diligently commenced to cure and is continuing
to prosecute said cure to completion, or (iv) INTENTIONALLY OMITTED, or (v) Tenant makes any assignment for the benefit of creditors, or (vi) Tenant commits an act of bankruptcy or files a petition or commences any proceeding under
any bankruptcy or insolvency law, or (vii) a petition is filed or any proceeding is commenced against Tenant under any bankruptcy or insolvency law and such petition or proceeding is not dismissed within thirty (30) days, or
(viii) Tenant is adjudicated a bankrupt, or (ix) Tenant by any act indicates its consent to, approval of or acquiescence in, or a court approves, a petition filed or proceeding commenced against Tenant under any bankruptcy or insolvency
law, or (x) a receiver or other official is appointed for Tenant or for a substantial part of Tenant’s assets or for Tenant’s interest in this Lease, or (xi) any attachment or execution against a substantial part of Tenant’s
assets or of Tenant’s interests in this Lease remains unstayed or undismissed for a period of more than ten (10) days, or (xii) a substantial part of Tenant’s assets or of Tenant’s interest in this Lease is taken by legal
process in any action against Tenant, or (xiii) Tenant fails to pay to any federal, state or local agency any taxes claimed by such agency, then, in any such event, Tenant shall be deemed to be in default hereunder, and Landlord may, if the
Landlord so elects, at any time thereafter, terminate this Lease and the tenancy created hereby, by giving three (3) days’ notice of such election to Tenant and/or Landlord may re-enter the Leased Premises, by summary proceedings or
otherwise, and may remove Tenant and all other persons and property from the 

  

- 29 - 

	 	
Leased Premises, and may store such property in a public warehouse or elsewhere (at the cost of or the account of Tenant) with or without resort to legal process and without Landlord being deemed
guilty of trespass or conversion or becoming liable for any loss or damage occasioned thereby or otherwise being liable to prosecution therefor. 

  

	 	B.	In the event that the relation of the Landlord and Tenant may cease or terminate by reason of the termination of this Lease by Landlord or by reason of the re-entry of
the Landlord under the terms and covenants contained in this Lease or by reason of the summary dispossess or ejectment of the Tenant by summary proceedings, or otherwise, or after the abandonment of the Leased Premises by the Tenant, the Tenant
shall remain liable and shall pay in monthly payments the Fixed Rent and Additional Rent which accrues subsequent to the cessation or termination of the relationship of Landlord-Tenant, and the Tenant shall pay as damages for the breach of the
covenants contained in this Lease the difference between the Fixed Rent and Additional Rent reserved and the Rent collected and received, if any, by the Landlord, during the remainder of the unexpired Term, such difference or deficiency between the
Fixed Rent and the Additional Rent reserved and the Rent collected, if any, shall become due and payable in monthly payments during the remainder of the unexpired Term, as the amounts of such difference or deficiency shall from time to time be
ascertained. In the event the Landlord relets the Leased Premises during any such unexpired period of the Tenant’s Lease, for Rent in excess of that due under the within Lease, Landlord need not credit such excess Rent against any unpaid Fixed
Rent or Additional Rent owed by the Tenant. In addition, Tenant shall indemnify Landlord during the remaining period before this Lease would otherwise expire against all loss or damage suffered by reason of such default, cessation or termination,
including but not limited to, all costs, salaries, fees, commissions and expenses of reletting as well as all reasonable attorneys’ and other professional fees, expenses and costs incurred by Landlord in pursuit of its remedies hereunder.

  

	 	C.	INTENTIONALLY OMITTED. 

  

	 	D.	Landlord shall have all rights and remedies now or hereafter existing at law with respect to the enforcement of Tenant’s obligations hereunder and the recovery of
the Leased Premises, including without limitation, those set forth in N.J.S.A. 2A:18-53, as amended, and all amendments, modifications and substitutions thereof hereafter enacted. No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to
Landlord shall be exclusive of any other right or remedy, but shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights and remedies given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law. Landlord shall be entitled to injunctive relief in case of the
violation, or attempted violation, of any covenant, agreement, condition or provision of this Lease, or to a decree compelling performance of any covenant, agreement, condition or provision of this Lease. 

 

	 	E.	Nothing herein contained shall limit or prejudice the right of Landlord by reason of such default to exercise any or all rights or remedies available to Landlord by
reason of such default or to prove and obtain in proceedings under any bankruptcy or insolvency laws, an amount equal to the maximum allowed by any law in effect at the time when, and governing the proceedings in which, the damages are to be proven,
whether or not the amount be greater, equal to, or less than the amount of the loss of damage referred to above.

DELETED PRIOR TO EXECUTION 
 33. Underlying Leases and Estates. This Lease and the estate, interests and rights hereby created shall be and remain subject and subordinate to any and all underlying agreements, leases or
other instruments and to any extension or modifications thereof by virtue of which the Landlord is or may be entitled to possession of the Building and parcel of land on which it is erected. 

34. Successors and Assigns. The obligations of this Lease shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties
hereunder and their respective successors and assigns; provided that Landlord, and each successive owner of the Building, shall be liable only for obligations accruing during the period of its ownership or interest. 

35. Waivers. No delay or forbearance by Landlord in exercising any right or remedy hereunder or in undertaking or
performing any act or matter which is not expressly required to be undertaken by Landlord shall be construed, respectively, to be a waiver of Landlord’s rights or to represent any agreement by Landlord to undertake or perform such act or matter
thereafter. 
 36. Waiver of Jury Trial and Counterclaim. It is mutually agreed by and between Landlord and Tenant
that the respective parties shall and they hereby do waive trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim brought by either of the parties against the other on any matter whatsoever arising out of or in any way connected with this Lease,
the relationship of Landlord and Tenant, Tenant’s use of or occupancy of said Leased Premises and/or any claim of injury or damage and any emergency statutory or any other statutory remedy. It is further mutually agreed that in the event
Landlord commences any summary proceeding for non-payment of Rent, Tenant will not interpose any counterclaim or defense in the nature of setoff, of whatever nature or description in any such proceeding. 

37. Severability. Each covenant and agreement in this Lease shall for all purposes be construed to be a separate and
independent covenant or agreement. If any provision in this Lease or the application thereof shall to any extent be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the remainder of this Lease and the application of such provision other than that which is
invalid, illegal or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby; and such provisions in this Lease shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

 39. Amendment and Modifications. This writing is intended by the parties as a
final expression of their agreement and as a complete and exclusive statement of the terms thereof; all negotiations, considerations and representations between the parties have been incorporated herein. No course of prior dealings between the
parties or their officers, employees, agents or affiliates shall be relevant or admissible to supplement, explain, or vary any of the terms of this Lease. Acceptance of, or acquiescence in, a course of performance rendered under this or any prior
agreement between the parties or their affiliates shall not be relevant or admissible to determine the meaning of any of the terms of this Lease. No representations, understandings, or agreements have been made or relied upon in the making of this
Lease other than those specifically set forth herein. This Lease can be modified only by a writing signed by the party against whom the modification is enforceable. 
 40. Bankruptcy. 
  

	 	A.	In the event that Tenant becomes the subject debtor in a case pending under the Bankruptcy Code or in any Bankruptcy Court or Division, Landlord’s
right to terminate this Lease shall be subject to the rights of the Trustee in Bankruptcy to assume or assign this Lease. To the extent permitted or allowed by law, the Trustee shall not have the right to assume or assign this Lease until the
Trustee (i) promptly cures all defaults under the Lease, (ii) promptly compensates Landlord for monetary damages incurred as a result of such default, and (iii) provides “adequate assurance of future performance” which shall
mean (in addition to any other statutory requirements) that all of the following have been satisfied: (i) in addition to Rent payable under the Lease the Trustee shall establish with Landlord a Security Deposit equal to three
(3) months’ Fixed Rent; (ii) maintain said Security Deposit in said amount whenever it is drawn upon by Landlord; (iii) Trustee must agree that Tenant’s business shall be conducted in a first-class manner; (iv) the use
of the Leased Premises cannot change. If all the foregoing are not satisfied Tenant shall be deemed not to have provided Landlord with adequate assurance of future performance of this Lease. 

 

	 	B.	In addition, if Tenant becomes the subject debtor under the Bankruptcy Code or in any Bankruptcy Court or Division, any person or entity to which this
Lease is assigned pursuant to the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C., § 101 et seq., shall be deemed without further act or deed to have assumed all of the obligations arising under this Lease on and after the date of
such assignment. Any such assignee shall, upon demand, execute and deliver to Landlord an instrument confirming such assumption. 

 41. Industrial Site Recovery Act/Site Remediation Reform Act. 
  

	 	A.	 Tenant shall, at Tenant’s own expense, comply with the Site Remediation Reform Act, N.J.S.A. 58:10C-1, et seq.
(“SRRA”) and the Industrial Site Recovery Act, N.J.S.A. 13:1K-6, et seq. (“ISRA”) and any amendments thereto as well as the regulations promulgated thereunder. Tenant shall not, however, have any obligation
or liability whatsoever in respect of any spill or discharge of hazardous substances or wastes or any other non-compliance with SRRA and ISRA which is caused by any person other than Tenant or existing prior to the date of this Lease. Tenant shall,
