terms and conditions herein set forth, Lessor and Lessee agree as follows:
1. DESCRIPTION:
Lessor hereby leases to Lessee, and Lessee hereby hires from Lessor, the
Premises as defined in the Preamble which includes an allocable share of
the Common Facilities, as shown on the plan or plans, initialed by the
parties hereto, marked Exhibit A attached hereto and made part of this
Lease in the Building as defined in the Preamble, (hereinafter called the
"Building") which is situated on that certain parcel of land (hereinafter
called "Office Building Area") as described on Exhibit A-1 attached hereto
and made part of this Lease, together, with the right to use in common
with other lessees of the Building, their invitees, customers and
employees, those public areas of the Common Facilities as hereinafter
defined.
2. TERM:
The Premises are leased for a term to commence on the Commencement Date,
and to end at 12:00 midnight on the Expiration Date, all as defined in the
Preamble.
3. BASIC RENT:
The Lessee shall pay to the Lessor during the Term, the Fixed Basic Rent
as defined in the Preamble (hereinafter called "Fixed Basic Rent") payable
in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of
payment shall be legal tender for the payment of public and private debts.
The Fixed Basic Rent shall accrue at the Yearly Rate as defined in the
Preamble and shall be payable, in advance, on the first day of each
calendar month during the Term at the Monthly Installments as defined in
the Preamble, except that a proportionately lesser sum may be paid for the
first and last months of the Term of this Lease if the Term commences on a
day other than the first day of the month, in accordance with the
provisions of this Lease herein set forth. Lessor acknowledges receipt
from Lessee of the first monthly installment by check, subject to
collection, for Fixed Basic Rent for the first month of the Lease Term.
Lessee shall pay Fixed Basic Rent, and any Additional Rent as hereinafter
provided, to Lessor at Lessor's above stated address, or at such other
place as Lessor may designate in writing, without demand and without
counterclaim, deduction or set off.
4. USE AND OCCUPANCY:
Lessee shall use and occupy the Premises for the Permitted Use as defined
in the Preamble.
If at any time during the Term of this Lease, Lessee adopts a policy
prohibiting Lessee, its employees, agents or invitees from smoking within
the Premises, Lessee shall establish a designated area within the Premises
where Lessee shall permit smoking. Lessee shall establish such designated
area at Lessee's sole expense in accordance with Article 6 of this Lease.
Such designated area shall include, among other things, adequate area,
ventilation and fire safety equipment. Lessee hereby acknowledges that
such designated area is necessary and reasonable to prevent smoking by
Lessee, Lessee's employees, agents and invitees in unauthorized areas of
the Building or Common Facilities in violation of relevant fire and safety
laws and regulations and to prevent fire hazards within the Premises.
5. CARE AND REPAIR OF PREMISES/ENVIRONMENTAL:
(a) Lessee shall commit no act of waste and shall take good care of the
Premises and the fixtures and appurtenances therein, and shall, in
the use and occupancy of the Premises,
4
conform to all laws, orders and regulations of the federal, state
and municipal governments or any of their departments affecting the
Premises and with any and all environmental requirements resulting
from the Lessee's particular use of the Premises, this covenant to
survive the expiration or sooner termination of the Lease.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Lease,
Lessee shall not be required to make any repairs, alterations or
modifications to the Premises as a result of any laws, orders and
regulations of the federal, state and municipal governments or any
of their departments affecting the Premises unless the need for such
repairs, alterations or modifications arises from the particular
manner in which Lessee uses the Premises, and repairs, alterations
or modifications to the Premises as a result of any laws, orders and
regulations of the federal, state and municipal governments or any
of their departments affecting the Premises which are required of
all owners and tenants generally, and do not arise from the
particular manner in which an owner or tenant uses its premises,
shall be undertaken by and at the sole cost and expense of Lessor
and same may be included in Operating Costs pursuant to Article 23
of this Lease. Lessor shall, subject to the same being included in
Operating Costs (except as expressly excluded in the immediately
preceding sentence), make all necessary repairs to the Premises,
Common Facilities and to the assigned parking areas, if any, except
where the repair has been made necessary by misuse or neglect by
Lessee or Lessee's agents, servants, visitors or licensees, in which
event Lessor shall nevertheless make the repair but Lessee shall pay
to Lessor, as Additional Rent, immediately upon demand, the costs
therefor. All improvements made by Lessee to the Premises, which are
so attached to the Premises, shall become the property of Lessor
upon installation. Not later than the last day of the Term, Lessee
shall, at Lessee's expense, remove all Lessee's personal property
and those improvements made by Lessee which have not become the
property of Lessor, including trade fixtures, cabinetwork, movable
paneling, partitions and the like; repair all injury done by or in
connection with the installation or removal of said property and
improvements; and surrender the Premises in as good condition as
they were at the beginning of the Term, reasonable wear and damage
by fire, the elements, casualty or other cause not due to the misuse
or neglect by Lessee, Lessee's agents, servants, visitors or
licensees excepted. All other property of Lessee remaining on the
Premises after the last day of the Term of this Lease shall
be conclusively deemed abandoned and may be removed by Lessor, and
Lessee shall reimburse Lessor for the cost of such removal. Lessor
may have any such property stored at Lessee's risk and expense.
ENVIRONMENTAL
(b) COMPLIANCE WITH ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS. Lessee shall, at Lessee's own
expense, promptly comply with each and every federal, state, county
and municipal environmental law, ordinance, rule, regulation, order,
directive and requirement, now or hereafter existing ("Environmental
Laws"), applicable to the Premises, Lessee, Lessee's operations at
the Premises, or all of them, except if there is any violation of
Environmental Laws with regard to the Premises existing at the date
of this Lease, Lessor shall comply therewith at its sole cost and
expense, which shall not be included in Operating Costs.
(c) ISRA COMPLIANCE. Lessee shall, at Lessee's own expense, comply with
the Industrial Site Recovery Act, N.J. S.A. 13:1K-6 et seq., the
regulations promulgated thereunder and any amending and successor
legislation and regulations ("ISRA"), if and to the extent the need
for such compliance is triggered by Lessee having become an
Industrial Establishment (as defined in ISRA) with respect to its
use of the Premises.
(d) INFORMATION TO LESSOR. At no expense to Lessor, Lessee shall
promptly provide all information and sign all documents reasonably
requested by Lessor with respect to compliance with Environmental
Laws.
(e) LESSOR AUDIT. Lessee shall permit Lessor and its representatives
access to the Premises, from time to time, to conduct an
environmental assessment, investigation and sampling, all at
Lessee's own expense.
(f) LESSEE REMEDIATION. Should any assessment, investigation or sampling
reveal the existence of any spill, discharge or placement of
Contaminants in, on, under, or
5
about, or migrating from or onto the Premises, the Building or the
Office Building Area, as a result of the action or omission of
Lessee or a "Lessee Representative," then, in addition to being in
default under this Lease and Lessor having all rights available to
Lessor under this Lease and by law by reason of such default, Lessee
shall, at Lessee's own expense, in accordance with Environmental
Laws, undertake all action required by Lessor and any governmental
authority, including, without limitation, promptly obtaining and
delivering to Lessor an unconditional No Further Action Letter. For
purposes of this Article, the term "Lessee's Representative" shall
mean any shareholder, officer, director, member, partner, employee,
agent, licensee, assignee, sublessee or invitee of Lessee, or any
third party for whom Lessee is legally responsible. In no event
shall any of Lessee's remedial action involve engineering or
institutional controls, a groundwater classification exception area
or well restriction area, and Lessee's remedial action shall meet
the most stringent published or unpublished remediation standards
for soil, surface water, groundwater and drinking water.
Promptly upon completion of all required investigatory and remedial
activities, Lessee shall, at Lessee's own expense, to Lessor's
satisfaction, restore the affected areas of the Premises, the
Building or the Office Building Area, as the case may be, from any
damage or condition caused by the investigatory or remedial work.
(g) ENVIRONMENTAL QUESTIONNAIRE. Upon Lessor's request,
contemporaneously with the signing and delivery of this Lease, and
thereafter upon renewal of the lease, if at all, Lessee shall
complete, execute and deliver to Lessor an environmental
questionnaire in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
Lessor.
(h) ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENTS AND CONDITIONS. For purposes of this
Article, the term "Environmental Documents" shall mean all
environmental documentation concerning the Building or the Office
Building Area, of which the Premises is a part, or its environs, in
the possession or under the control of Lessee, including, without
limitation, plans, reports, correspondence and submissions. During
the term of this Lease and subsequently, promptly upon receipt by
Lessee or Lessee's Representatives, Lessee shall deliver to Lessor
all Environmental Documents concerning or generated by or on behalf
of Lessee, whether currently or hereafter existing. In addition,
Lessee shall promptly notify Lessor of any environmental condition
of which Lessee has knowledge, which may exist in, on, under, or
about, or may be migrating from or onto the Building or the Office
Building Area.
(i) LESSOR'S RIGHT TO PERFORM LESSEE'S OBLIGATIONS. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary set forth in this Lease, in the event,
pursuant to this Lease, Lessee is required to undertake any
sampling, assessment, investigation or remediation with respect to
the Premises, the Building or the Office Building Area, as the case
may be, then, at Lessor's discretion, Lessor shall have the right,
upon notice to Lessee, from time to time, to perform such activities
at Lessee's expense if Lessee has failed to do so with reasonable
promptness, and all sums reasonably incurred by Lessor shall be paid
by Lessee, as Additional Rent, upon demand.
(j) INDEMNITY. Lessee shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Lessor,
Lessor's officers, directors, shareholders, employees and personal
or legal representatives from and against any and all claims,
liabilities, losses, damages, penalties and costs, foreseen or
unforeseen, including, without limitation, counsel, engineering and
other professional or expert fees, which an indemnified party may
incur resulting directly or indirectly, wholly or partly from
Lessee's actions or omissions with regard to Lessee's obligations
under this Article.
(k) SURVIVAL. This Article shall survive the expiration or earlier
termination of this lease. Lessee's failure to abide by the terms of
this Article shall be restrainable or enforceable, as the case may
be, by injunction.
(l) INTERPRETATION. The obligations imposed upon Lessee under
subparagraphs (a) through (j) above are in addition to and are not
intended to limit, but to expand upon, the obligations imposed upon
Lessee under this Article 5. As used in this Article, the term
"Contaminants" shall include, without limitation, any regulated
substance, toxic substance, hazardous substance, hazardous waste,
pollution, pollutant, contaminant,
6
petroleum, asbestos or polychlorinated biphenyls, as defined or
referred to in any Environmental Laws. Where a law or regulation
defines any of these terms more broadly then another, the broader
definition shall apply.
6. ALTERATIONS, ADDITIONS OR IMPROVEMENTS:
Lessee shall not, without first obtaining the written consent of Lessor,
make any alterations, additions or improvements in, to or about the
Premises.
7. ACTIVITIES INCREASING FIRE INSURANCE RATES:
Lessee shall not do or suffer anything to be done on the Premises which
will increase the rate of fire insurance on the Building.
8. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLEASE:
Provided Lessee is not in default of this Lease beyond notice and
expiration of applicable grace periods, Lessee may assign or sublease the
within Lease to any party subject to the following:

writing no less than sixty (60) days prior to the effective date of
any such sublease or assignment, and, prior to such effective date,
the Lessor shall have the option, exercisable in writing to the
Lessee, to: (i) sublease such space from Lessee at the lower rate of
(a) the rental rate per rentable square foot of Fixed Basic Rent and
Additional Rent then payable pursuant to this Lease or (b) the terms
set forth in the proposed sublease, (ii) recapture in the case of
subletting, that portion of the Premises to be sublet or all of the
Premises in the case of an assignment ("Recapture Space") so that
such prospective sublessee or assignee shall then become the sole

for Lessor's own use and the within Lessee shall be fully released
from any and all obligations hereunder with respect to the Recapture
Space.
b. In the event that the Lessor elects not to recapture the Lease or
relet the Premises as hereinabove provided, the Lessee may
nevertheless assign this Lease or sublet the whole or any portion of
the Premises, subject to the Lessor's prior written consent, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, on the basis
of the following terms and conditions:
i. The Lessee shall provide to the Lessor the name and address of
the assignee or sublessee.
ii. The assignee shall assume, by written instrument, all of the
obligations of this Lease, and a copy of such assumption

against Lessor shall be no greater than those of Lessee.
Lessee further agrees that notwithstanding any such
subletting, no other and further subletting of the Premises by
Lessee or any person claiming through or under Lessee shall or
will be made except upon compliance with and subject to the
provisions of this Article 8.
iii. Each sublease shall provide that it is subject and subordinate
to this Lease and to the matters to which this Lease is or
shall be subordinate, and that in the event of default by
Lessee under this Lease, Lessor may, at its option, take over
all of the right, title and interest of Lessee, as sublessor,
under such sublease, and such sublessee shall, at Lessor's
option, attorn to Lessor pursuant to the then executory
provisions of such sublease, except that Lessor shall not (i)
be liable for any previous act or omission of Lessee under
such
7
sublease or, (ii) be subject to any offset not expressly
provided in such sublease which theretofore accrued to such
sublease to which Lessor has not specifically consented in
writing or by any previous prepayment of more than one month's
rent.
iv. The Lessee and each assignee shall be and remain liable for
the observance of all the covenants and provisions of this
Lease, including, but not limited to, the payment of Fixed

entire Term of this Lease, as the same may be renewed,
extended or otherwise modified.
v. The Lessee and any assignee shall promptly pay to Lessor any
consideration received for any assignment and/or all of the
rent, as and when received, in excess of the Rent required to
be paid by Lessee for the area sublet computed on the basis of
an average square foot rent for the gross square footage
Lessee has leased.
vi. In any event, the acceptance by the Lessor of any rent from
the assignee or from any of the subtenants or the failure of
the Lessor to insist upon a strict performance of any of the
terms, conditions and covenants herein shall not release the
Lessee herein, nor any assignee assuming this Lease, from any
and all of the obligations herein during and for the entire
Term of this Lease.
vii. In Lessor's reasonable judgment, the proposed assignee or
subtenant is engaged in a business or activity, and the

a commission or other fee from Lessor in the event of a
recapturing of the Premises;

for general offices and shall not be engaged in any of the

(a) educational, including but not limited to, instructional
facilities and correspondence schools;
(b) employment agencies;
8
(c) model agencies;
(d) photographic studios or laboratories;
(e) spas, health, physical fitness or exercise salons;
(f) small loan offices,
(g) real estate brokerage or real estate sales offices open
to the general public or construction offices;
(h) medical or dental facilities, including professional

(i) federal, state or local government offices;
(j) so-called boiler room operations;
(k) retail stock brokerage offices; and
(l) religious organizations making facilities available to
congregations for uses other than business purposes.
xv. The proposed assignee or subtenant shall not be entitled,
directly or indirectly, to diplomatic or sovereign immunity
and shall be subject to the service of process in, and the
jurisdiction of, the state courts of New Jersey.
xvi. Lessor shall require a FIVE HUNDRED AND 00/100 DOLLAR
($500.00) payment to cover its handling charges for each
request for consent to any sublet or assignment prior to its
consideration of the same. Lessee acknowledges that its sole
remedy with respect to any assertion that Lessor's failure to
consent to any sublet or assignment is unreasonable shall be
the remedy of specific performance and Lessee shall have no
other claim or cause of action against Lessor as a result of
Lessor's actions in refusing to consent thereto.
[See Following Page 9A]
c. If Lessee is a corporation other than a corporation whose stock is
listed and traded on a nationally recognized stock exchange, the
provisions of Subsection a. shall apply to a transfer (however
accomplished, whether in a single transaction or in a series of
related or unrelated transactions) of stock (or any other mechanism
such as, by way of example, the issuance of additional stock, a
stock voting agreement or change in class(es) of stock) which
results in a change of control of Lessee as if such transfer of
stock (or other mechanism) which results in a change of control of
Lessee were an assignment of this Lease, and if Lessee is a
partnership or joint venture, said provisions shall apply with
respect to a transfer (by one or more transfers) of an interest in
the distributions of profits and losses of such partnership or joint
venture (or other mechanism, such as, by way of example, the
creation of additional general partnership or limited partnership
interests) which results in a change of control of such a
partnership or joint venture, as if such transfer of an interest in
the distributions of profits and losses of such partnership or joint
venture which results in a change of control of such partnership or
joint venture were an assignment of this Lease; but said provisions
shall not apply to transactions with a corporation or other entity
into or with which Lessee is merged or consolidated or to which all
or substantially all of Lessee's assets are transferred or to any
corporation or other entity which controls or is controlled by
Lessee or is under common control with Lessee, provided that in the
event of such merger, consolidation or transfer of all or
substantially all of Lessee's assets (i) the successor to Lessee has
a net worth computed in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles at least equal to the greater of (1) the net
worth of Lessee immediately prior to such merger, consolidation or
transfer, or (2) the net worth of Lessee herein named on the date of
this Lease, and (ii) proof satisfactory to Lessor of such net worth
shall have been delivered to Lessor at least 10 days prior to the
effective date of any such transaction.
d. In the event that any or all of Lessee's interest in the Premises
and/or this Lease is transferred by operation of law to any trustee,
receiver, or other representative or agent of Lessee, or to Lessee
as a debtor in possession, and subsequently any or all of Lessee's
interest in the Premises and/or this Lease is offered or to be
offered by Lessee or any trustee, receiver, or other representative
or agent of Lessee as to its estate or property (such person, firm
or entity being hereinafter referred to as the "Grantor"), for
assignment, conveyance, lease, or other disposition to a person,
firm
9
The following shall be deemed added to Section 8(b)(xvi) of this Lease:
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if it is judicially determined that Lessor
has acted in bad faith, Lessee's remedies shall not be limited to specific
performance as set forth above.
-9A-
or entity other than Lessor (each such transaction being
hereinafter referred to as a "Disposition"), it is agreed that
Lessor has and shall have a right of first refusal to purchase,
take, or otherwise acquire, the same upon the same terms and
conditions as the Grantor thereof shall accept upon such Disposition
to such other person, firm, or entity; and as to each such
Disposition the Grantor shall give written notice to Lessor in
reasonable detail of all of the terms and conditions of such
Disposition within twenty (20) days next following its determination
to accept the same but prior to accepting the same, and Grantor
shall not make the Disposition until and unless Lessor has failed or
refused to accept such right of first refusal as to the Disposition,
as set forth herein.
Lessor shall have sixty (60) days next following its receipt of the
written notice as to such Disposition in which to exercise the
option to acquire Lessee's interest by such Disposition, and the
exercise of the option by Lessor shall be effected by notice to that
effect sent to the Grantor; but nothing herein shall require Lessor
to accept a particular Disposition or any Disposition, nor does the
rejection of any one such offer of first refusal constitute a waiver
or release of the obligation of the Grantor to submit other offers
hereunder to Lessor. In the event Lessor accepts such offer of first
refusal, the transaction shall be consummated pursuant to the terms
and conditions of the Disposition described in the notice to Lessor.
In the event Lessor rejects such offer of first refusal, Grantor may
consummate the Disposition with such other person, firm, or entity;
but any decrease in price of more than two percent (2%) of the price
sought from Lessor or any change in the terms of payment for such
Disposition shall constitute a new transaction requiring a further
option of first refusal to be given to Lessor hereunder.
e. Without limiting any of the provisions of Articles 12 and 13, if
pursuant to the Federal Bankruptcy Code (herein referred to as the
"Code"), or any similar law hereafter enacted having the same
general purpose, Lessee is permitted to assign this Lease
notwithstanding the restrictions contained in this Lease, adequate
assurance of future performance by an assignee expressly permitted
under such Code shall be deemed to mean the deposit of cash security
in an amount equal to the sum of one year's Fixed Basic Rent plus an
amount equal to the Additional Rent for the calendar year preceding
the year in which such assignment is intended to become effective,
which deposit shall be held by Lessor for the balance of the Term,
without interest, as security for the full performance of all of
Lessee's obligations under this Lease, to be held and applied in the
manner specified for security in Article 16.
f. Except as specifically set forth above, no portion of the Premises
or of Lessee's interest in this Lease may be acquired by any other
person or entity, whether by assignment, mortgage, sublease,
transfer, operation of law or act of the Lessee, nor shall Lessee
pledge its interest in this Lease or in any security deposit
required hereunder.
9. COMPLIANCE WITH RULES AND REGULATIONS:
Lessee shall observe and comply with the rules and regulations hereinafter
set forth in Exhibit B attached hereto and made a part hereof and with
such further reasonable rules and regulations as Lessor may prescribe, on
written notice to the Lessee, for the safety, care and cleanliness of the
Building and the comfort, quiet and convenience of other occupants of the
Building. Lessee shall not place a load upon any floor of the Premises
exceeding the floor load per square foot area which it was designed to
carry and which is allowed by law. Lessor reserves the right to prescribe
the weight and position of all safes, business machines and mechanical
equipment. Such installations shall be placed and maintained by Lessee, at
Lessee's expense, in settings sufficient, in Lessor's judgement, to absorb
and prevent vibration, noise and annoyance.
10. DAMAGES TO BUILDING:
If the Building is damaged by fire or any other cause to such extent the
cost of restoration, as reasonably estimated by Lessor, will equal or
exceed twenty-five percent (25%) of the
10
replacement value of the Building (exclusive of foundations) just prior to
the occurrence of the damage, then Lessor may, no later than the sixtieth
(60th) day following the date of damage, give Lessee a notice of election
to terminate this Lease, or if the cost of restoration will equal or
exceed fifty percent (50%) of such replacement value and if the Premises
shall not be reasonably usable for the purpose for which they are leased
hereunder, or if restoration of the damage will require more than one
hundred eighty (180) days to complete or if such damage is not fully
repaired and reasonable access to the Premises restored within one hundred
eighty (180) days from the date of damage, subject, however, to Force
Majeure, then, in any such event, Lessee may, no later than the sixtieth
(60th) day following the date of damage or following the end of said one
hundred eighty (180) day period, give Lessor a notice of election to
terminate this Lease. In either said event of election, this Lease shall
be deemed to terminate on the thirtieth (30th) day after the giving of
said notice, and Lessee shall surrender possession of the Premises within
a reasonable time thereafter, and the Fixed Basic Rent, and any Additional
Rent, shall be apportioned as of the date of said surrender and any Fixed
Basic Rent or Additional Rent paid for any period beyond said date shall
be repaid to Lessee, If the cost of restoration shall not entitle Lessor
to terminate this Lease, or if, despite the cost, Lessor does not elect to
terminate this Lease, Lessor shall restore the Building and the Premises
with reasonable promptness, subject to Force Majeure, and Lessee shall
have no right to terminate this Lease. Lessor need not restore fixtures
and improvements owned by Lessee.
In any case in which use of the Premises is affected by any damage to the
Building, there shall be either an abatement or an equitable reduction in
Fixed Basic Rent, depending on the period for which and the extent to
which the Premises are not reasonably usable for the purpose for which
they are leased hereunder. The words "restoration" and "restore" as used
in this Article 10 shall include repairs. If the damage results from the
fault of the Lessee, Lessee's agents, servants, visitors or licensees,
Lessee shall not be entitled to any abatement or reduction in Fixed Basic
Rent, except to the extent of any rent insurance received by Lessor.
11. EMINENT DOMAIN:
If Lessee's use of the Premises is materially affected due to the taking
by eminent domain of (a) the Premises or any part thereof or any estate
therein; or (b) any other part of the Building; then, in either event,
this Lease shall terminate on the date when title vests pursuant to such
taking. The Fixed Basic Rent, and any Additional Rent, shall be
apportioned as of said termination date and any Fixed Basic Rent or
Additional Rent paid for any period beyond said date, shall be repaid to
Lessee. Lessee shall not be entitled to any part of the award for such
taking or any payment in lieu thereof, but Lessee may file a separate
claim for any taking of fixtures and improvements owned by Lessee which
have not become the Lessor's property, and for moving expenses, provided
the same shall, in no way, affect or diminish Lessor's award. In the event
of a partial taking which does not effect a termination of this Lease but
does deprive Lessee of the use of a portion of the Premises, there shall
either be an abatement or an equitable reduction of the Fixed Basic Rent,
and an equitable adjustment reducing the Base Period Costs as hereinafter
defined depending on the period for which and the extent to which the
Premises so taken are not reasonably usable for the purpose for which they
are leased hereunder.
12. INSOLVENCY OF LESSEE:
Either (a) the appointment of a receiver to take possession of all or
substantially all of the assets of Lessee, or, (b) a general assignment by
Lessee for the benefit of creditors, or, (c) any action taken or suffered
by Lessee under any insolvency or bankruptcy act, shall constitute a
default of this Lease by Lessee, and Lessor may terminate this Lease
forthwith and upon notice of such termination Lessee's right to possession
of the Premises shall cease, and Lessee shall then quit and surrender the
Premises to Lessor but Lessee shall remain liable as hereinafter provided
in Article 14 hereof.
11
13. LESSOR'S REMEDIES ON DEFAULT:
If Lessee defaults in the payment of Fixed Basic Rent, or any Additional
Rent, or default in the performance of any of the other covenants and
conditions hereof or permits the Premises to become deserted, abandoned or
vacated, Lessor may give Lessee notice of such default, and if Lessee does
not cure any Fixed Basic Rent or Additional Rent default within five (5)
days or other default within fifteen (15) days after giving of such notice
(or if such other default is of such nature that it cannot be completely
cured within such period, Lessee does not commence such curing within
such fifteen (15) days and thereafter proceed with reasonable diligence
and in good faith to cure such default), then Lessor may terminate this
Lease on not less than ten (10) days notice to Lessee, and on the date
specified in said notice, Lessee's right to possession of the Premises
shall cease but Lessee shall remain liable as hereinafter provided. If
this Lease shall have been so terminated by Lessor pursuant to Articles 12
or 13 hereof, Lessor may at any time thereafter resume possession of the
Premises by any lawful means and remove Lessee or other occupants and
their effects. Lessee shall pay to Lessor, on demand, such expenses as
Lessor may incur, including, without limitation, court costs and
reasonable attorney's fees and disbursements, in enforcing the performance
of any obligation of Lessee under this Lease.
14. DEFICIENCY:
In any case where Lessor has recovered possession of the Premises by
reason of Lessee's default, Lessor may, at Lessor's option, occupy the
Premises or cause the Premises to be redecorated, altered, divided,
consolidated with other adjoining premises or otherwise changed or
prepared for reletting, and may relet the Premises or any part thereof, as
agent of Lessee or otherwise, for a term or terms to expire prior to, at
the same time as or subsequent to, the original Expiration Date of this
Lease, at Lessor's option and receive the rent therefor. Rent so received
shall be applied first to the payment of such expenses as Lessor may have
incurred in connection with the recovery of possession, redecorating,
altering, dividing, consolidating with other adjoining premises, or
otherwise changing or preparing for reletting, and the reletting,
including brokerage and reasonable attorney's fees, and then to the
payment of damages in amounts equal to the Fixed Basic Rent and Additional
Rent hereunder and to the costs and expenses of performance of the other
covenants of Lessee as herein provided. Lessee agrees, in any such case,
whether or not Lessor has relet, to pay to Lessor damages equal to the
Fixed Basic Rent and Additional Rent from the date of such default to the
date of expiration of the term demised and other sums herein agreed to be
paid by Lessee, less the net proceeds of the reletting, if any, received
by Lessor during the remainder of the unexpired term hereof, as
ascertained from time to time, and the same shall be payable by Lessee on
the several rent days above specified. Lessee shall not be entitled to any
surplus accruing as a result of any such reletting. In reletting the
Premises as aforesaid, Lessor may grant rent concessions, and Lessee shall
not be credited therewith. No such reletting shall constitute a surrender
and acceptance or be deemed evidence thereof. If Lessor elects, pursuant
hereto, actually to occupy and use the Premises or any part thereof during
any part of the balance of the Term as originally fixed or since extended,
there shall be allowed against Lessee's obligation for rent or damages as
herein defined, during the period of Lessor's occupancy, the reasonable
value of such occupancy, not to exceed, in any event, the Fixed Basic Rent
and Additional Rent herein reserved and such occupancy shall not be
construed as a release of Lessee's liability hereunder.
Alternatively, in any case where Lessor has recovered possession of the
Premises by reason of Lessee's default, Lessor may at Lessor's option, and
at any time thereafter, and without notice or other action by Lessor, and
without prejudice to any other rights or remedies it might have hereunder
or at law or equity, become entitled to recover from Lessee, as Damages
for such breach, in addition to such other sums herein agreed to be paid
by Lessee, to the date of re-entry, expiration and/or dispossess, an
amount equal to the difference between the Fixed Basic Rent and Additional
Rent reserved in this Lease from the date of such default to the date of
Expiration of the original Term demised and the then fair and reasonable
rental value of the Premises for the same period. Said Damages shall
become due and payable to Lessor immediately upon such breach of this
Lease and without regard to whether this Lease be terminated or not, and
if this Lease be terminated, without regard to the manner in which it is
terminated. In the computation of such Damages, the difference
12
between an installment of Fixed Basic Rent and Additional Rent thereafter
becoming due and the fair and reasonable rental value of the Premises for
the period for which such installment was payable shall be discounted to
the date of such default at the rate of not more than six percent (6%) per
annum.
Lessee hereby waives all right of redemption to which Lessee or any person
under Lessee might be entitled by any law now or hereafter in force.
Lessor's remedies hereunder are in addition to any remedy allowed by law.
15. SUBORDINATION OF LEASE:
This Lease shall, at Lessor's option, or at the option of any holder of
any underlying lease or holder of any mortgages or trust deed, be subject
and subordinate to any such underlying leases and to any such mortgages or
trust deed which may now or hereafter affect the real property of which
the Premises form a part, and also to all renewals, modifications,
consolidations and replacements of said underlying leases and said
mortgages or trust deed. Although no instrument or act on the part of
Lessee shall be necessary to effectuate such subordination, Lessee will,
nevertheless, execute and deliver such further instruments confirming such
subordination of this Lease as may be desired by the holders of said
mortgages or trust deed or by any of the lessors under such underlying
leases. Lessee hereby appoints Lessor attorney-in-fact, irrevocably, to
execute and deliver any such instrument for Lessee. If any underlying
lease to which this Lease is subject terminates, Lessee shall, on timely
request, attorn to the owner of the reversion.
16. SECURITY DEPOSIT:
In the event of the insolvency of Lessee, or in the event of the entry of
a judgment in any court against Lessee which is not discharged within
thirty (30) days after entry, or in the event a petition is filed by or
against Lessee under any chapter of the bankruptcy laws of the State of
New Jersey or the United States of America, then in such event, Lessor may
require the Lessee to deposit Security Deposit in an amount which in
Lessor's sole judgment would be sufficient to adequately assure Lessee's
performance of all of its obligations under this Lease including all
payments subsequently accruing. Failure of Lessee to deposit the security
required by this Article 16 within ten (10) days after Lessor's written
demand shall constitute a material breach of this Lease by Lessee.
If Lessor applies any part of said Security Deposit to cure any default of
Lessee, Lessee shall, on demand, deposit with Lessor the amount so applied
so that Lessor shall have the full Security Deposit on hand at all times
during the Term of this Lease. In the event of a bona fide sale, subject
to this Lease, Lessor shall have the right to transfer the Security
Deposit to the vendee, and Lessor shall be considered released by Lessee
from all liability for the return of the Security Deposit; and lessee
agrees to look solely to the new lessor for the return of the Security
Deposit, and it is agreed that this shall apply to every transfer or
assignment made of the Security Deposit to the new lessor. Provided this
Lease is not in default, the Security Deposit (less any portions thereof
used, applied or retained by Lessor in accordance with the provisions of
this Article 16), shall be returned to Lessee after the expiration or
sooner termination of this Lease and after delivery of the entire Premises
to Lessor in accordance with the provisions of this Lease. Lessee
covenants that it will not assign or encumber or attempt to assign or
encumber the Security Deposit and Lessor shall not be bound by any such
assignment, encumbrance or attempt thereof.
Lessee may deliver to Lessor, in lieu of the cash deposit set forth in
this Article an irrevocable negotiable letter of credit in the form and
amount set forth in Paragraph 16 of the Preamble. Said letter of credit
shall be for a term of not less than 1 year and shall be renewed by Lessee
(without notice from Lessor) no later than 45 days prior to its
expiration, and the expiration of each replacement thereof, until Lessor
shall be required to return the security to Lessee pursuant to the terms
of this lease but in no event earlier than 90 days after the Expiration
Date, and each such renewed letter of credit shall be delivered to Lessor
no later than 45 days prior to the expiration of the letter of credit then
held by Lessor. If any portion of the security deposit shall be utilized
by Lessor in the manner permitted by this lease, Lessee shall, within 5
days after
13
request by Lessor, replenish the security account by depositing with
Lessor, in cash or by letter of credit, an amount equal to that utilized
by Lessor. Failure of Lessee to comply strictly with the provisions of
this Article shall constitute a material breach of this lease and Lessor
shall be entitled to present the letter of credit then held by it for
payment (without notice to Lessee). If the cash security is converted into
a letter of credit, the provisions with respect to letters of credit shall
apply (with the necessary changes in points of detail) to such letter of
credit deposit. In the event of a bank failure or insolvency affecting the
letter of credit, Lessee shall replace same within 20 days after being
requested to do so by Lessor.
17. RIGHT TO CURE LESSEE'S BREACH:
If Lessee breaches any covenant or condition of this Lease, Lessor may, on
reasonable notice to Lessee (except that no notice need be given in case
of emergency), cure such breach at the expense of Lessee and the
reasonable amount of all expenses, including attorney's fees, incurred by
Lessor in so doing (whether paid by Lessor or not) shall be deemed
Additional Rent payable on demand.
18. MECHANIC'S LIENS:
Lessee shall, within fifteen (15) days after notice from Lessor, discharge
or satisfy by bonding or otherwise any mechanic liens for materials or
labor claimed to have been furnished to the Premises on Lessee's behalf.
19. RIGHT TO INSPECT AND REPAIR:
Lessor may enter the Premises but shall not be obligated to do so (except
as required by any specific provision of this Lease) at any reasonable
time on reasonable notice to Lessee (except that no notice need be given
in case of emergency) for the purpose of inspection or the making of such
repairs, replacement or additions in, to, on and about the Premises or the
Building, as Lessor deems necessary or desirable. Lessee shall have no
claims or cause of action against Lessor by reason thereof. In no event
shall Lessee have any claim against Lessor for interruption of Lessee's
business, however occurring, including but not limited to that arising
from the negligence of Lessor, its agents, servants or invitees, or from
defects, errors or omissions in the construction or design of the Premises
and/or the Building, including the structural and non-structural portions
thereof.
20. SERVICES TO BE PROVIDED BY LESSOR/LESSOR'S EXCULPATION:
Subject to intervening laws, ordinances, regulations and executive orders,
while Lessee is not in default under any of the provisions of this Lease,
Lessor agrees to furnish, except on holidays, as set forth on Exhibit E
attached hereto and made a part hereof:
a. The cleaning services, as set forth on Exhibit D attached hereto and
made a part hereof, and subject to the conditions therein stated.
Except as set forth on Exhibit D, Lessee shall pay the cost of all
other cleaning services required by Lessee.
b. Heating, ventilating and air conditioning (herein "HVAC") as
appropriate for the season, and as set forth on Exhibit C-l,
attached hereto and made a part hereof, together with Common
Facilities lighting and electric energy all during Building Hours,
as defined in the Preamble.
c. Cold and hot water for drinking and lavatory purposes.
d. Elevator service during Building Hours (if the Building contains an
elevator or elevators for the use of the occupants thereof).
e. Restroom supplies and exterior window cleaning when reasonably
required.
14
f. Notwithstanding the requirements of Exhibit C-1 (as to HVAC) or D or
any other provision of this Lease, Lessor shall not be liable for
failure to furnish any of the aforesaid services when such failure
is due to Force Majeure, as hereinafter defined. Lessor shall not be
liable, under any circumstances, including, but not limited to, that
arising from the negligence of Lessor, its agents, servants or
invitees, or from defects, errors or omissions in the construction
or design of the Premises and/or the Building, including the
structural and non-structural portions thereof, for loss of or
injury to Lessee or to property, however occurring, through or in
connection with or incidental to the furnishings of, or failure to
furnish, any of the aforesaid services or for any interruption to
Lessee's business, however occurring.
21. INTERRUPTION OF SERVICES OR USE:
Interruption or curtailment of any service maintained in the Building or
at the Office Building Area, if caused by Force Majeure, as hereinafter
defined, shall not entitle Lessee to any claim against Lessor or to any
abatement in rent, and shall not constitute a constructive or partial
eviction, unless Lessor fails to take measures as may be reasonable under
the circumstances to restore the service without undue delay. If the
Premises are rendered untenantable in whole or in part, for a period of
ten (10) consecutive business days, by the making of repairs, replacements
or additions, other than those made with Lessee's consent or caused by
misuse or neglect by Lessee, or Lessee's agents, servants, visitors or
licensees, there shall be a proportionate abatement of Rent from and after
said tenth (10th) consecutive business day and continuing for the period
of such untenantability. In no event shall Lessee be entitled to claim a
constructive eviction from the Premises unless Lessee shall first have
notified Lessor in writing of the condition or conditions giving rise
thereto, and if the complaints be justified, unless Lessor shall have
failed, within a reasonable time after receipt of such notice, to remedy,
or commence and proceed with due diligence to remedy such condition or
conditions, all subject to Force Majeure as hereinafter defined.
22. BUILDING STANDARD OFFICE ELECTRICAL SERVICE:
The cost of electric current which is supplied by the Lessor for use by
the Lessee in the Premises, other than for heating or air conditioning
purposes, shall be reimbursed to the Lessor at terms, classification and
rates normally charged by the public utilities corporation serving that
part of the municipality where the subject Premises are located.
a. From and after the Commencement Date, Lessee agrees to pay as
Additional Rent an estimated electrical charge of $.10 per square
foot per month, payable on the first day of each and every month,
until such time as an electrical survey can be performed pursuant to
Article 22(b) below.
b. Lessee agrees that an independent electrical engineering consultant
shall make a survey of electric power demand of the electric
lighting fixtures and the electric equipment of Lessee used in the
Premises to determine the average monthly electric consumption
thereof, and the costs of said survey shall be borne by Lessee. The
cost of such survey shall not exceed $350.00. The findings of said
consultant as to the average monthly electric consumption of Lessee
shall, unless objected to by Lessee within forty-five (45) days, be
conclusive and binding on Lessor and Lessee. After Lessor's
consultant has submitted its report, Lessee shall pay to Lessor,
within ten (10) days after demand therefor by Lessor, the amount
(based on the monthly consumption found by such consultant) as owing
from the Lease Term's Commencement Date, and the then expired
months, to include the then current month and thereafter adjusted
for the estimated electrical charges already paid pursuant to
Article 22(a), on the first day of every month, in advance, the
amount set forth as the monthly consumption in said report. Said
amounts shall be treated as Additional Rent due hereunder.
Proportionate sums shall be payable for periods of less than a full
month if the Term commences or ends on any other than the first or
last day of the month. If Lessee objects to said findings, Lessee
shall nevertheless pay and continue to pay the amount determined by
Lessor's consultant until the issue is finally resolved, but Lessee
may, at its expense, seek the services of an independent electrical
consultant who shall make a survey as provided above. If Lessor's
and
15
Lessee's consultant cannot agree as to Lessee's consumption within
thirty (30) days of Lessee's consultant's findings either Lessor or
Lessee may request the American Arbitration Association in Somerset,
New Jersey to appoint an electrical engineering consultant whose
decision shall be final and binding on Lessor and Lessee, and whose
cost shall be shared equally. Upon the issue being finally resolved,
any overpayment made by Lessee shall be promptly refunded.
c. In the event that there shall be an increase or decrease in the rate
schedule (including surcharges or demand adjustments), of the public
utility for the supply of Building Standard Office Electrical
Service, or the imposition of any tax with respect to such service
or increase in any such tax following the Lease Term's commencement,
the Additional Rent payable hereunder shall be adjusted equitably to
reflect the increase or decrease in rate or imposition or increase
in the aforesaid tax. All computations shall be made on the basis of
Lessee's surveyed usage as if a meter exclusively measuring such
usage to the Premises was in place.
d. Lessee covenants that it shall notify Lessor immediately upon the
introduction of any office equipment or lighting different from that
on the Premises as of Lessor's electrical survey or in addition to
the aforesaid equipment or lighting on the Premises as of said
survey. The introduction of any new or different equipment or
lighting shall be cause for, at Lessor's election, a resurveying of
the Premises at Lessee's expense. Lessor reserves the right to
inspect the Premises to insure compliance with this provision.
e. Lessor shall not be liable in any way to Lessee for any loss, damage
or expense which Lessee may sustain or incur as a result of any
failure, defect or change in the quantity or character of electrical
energy available for redistribution to the Premises pursuant to this
Article 22 nor for any interruption in the supply, and Lessee agrees
that such supply may be interrupted for inspection, repairs and
replacement and in emergencies. In any event, the full measure of
Lessor's liability for any interruption in the supply due to
Lessor's acts or omissions shall be an abatement of Fixed Basic Rent
and Additional Rent, unless Lessor fails to take such measures as
may be reasonable under the circumstances to restore such service
without undue delay. In no event shall Lessor be liable for any
business interruption suffered by Lessee.
f. Lessor, at Lessee's expense, shall furnish and install all
replacement lighting tubes, lamps, ballasts and bulbs required in
the Premises. Lessee, however, shall have the right to furnish
and/or install any or all of the items mentioned in this Article
22(f).
g. Lessee's use of electrical service as contemplated herein shall be
during Building Hours, and any use in excess of said Building Hours
shall result in an adjustment as set forth in Article 22(a) hereof
to reflect such additional consumption.
23. ADDITIONAL RENT:
It is expressly agreed that Lessee will pay in addition to the Fixed Basic
Rent provided in Article 3 hereof, an Additional Rent to cover Lessee's
Percentage as defined in the Preamble, of the increased cost to Lessor,
for each of the categories enumerated herein, over the "Base Period
Costs," as defined in the Preamble for said categories.
a. OPERATING COST ESCALATION -- If the Operating Costs incurred for the
Building in which the Premises are located and Office Building Area
for any Lease Year or Partial Lease Year during the Lease Term shall
be greater than the Base Operating Costs (adjusted proportionately
for periods less than a Lease Year), then Lessee shall pay to
Lessor, as Additional Rent, Lessee's Percentage of all such excess
Operating Costs. Operating Costs shall include, by way of
illustration and not of limitation: personal property taxes;
management fees; labor, including all wages and salaries; social
security taxes, and other taxes which may be levied against
Lessor upon such wages and salaries; supplies; repairs and
maintenance; maintenance and service contracts; painting; wall and

costs according to standard accounting practices (hereinafter
collectively referred to as the "Operating Costs"), but not
including depreciation of Building or equipment; interest; income or
excess profits taxes; wages, salaries and other compensation, to
employees above the level of property manager; alterations or
improvements for any other tenant; services furnished to other

transaction for materials or services of comparable quality; costs
of maintaining the Lessor's corporate existence or Lessor's general
corporate overhead or general administrative expenses; franchise
taxes; any expenditures required to be capitalized for federal
income tax purposes, unless said expenditures are for the purpose of
reducing Operating Costs within the Building and Office Building
Area, or those which under generally applied real estate practice
are expensed or regarded as deferred expenses or are required under
any governmental or quasi-governmental law, statute, ordinance,
rule, order, requirements or regulation, in which event the costs
thereof shall be included. The Base Operating Costs shall as be as
defined in the Preamble.
b. FUEL, UTILITIES AND ELECTRIC COST ESCALATION (hereinafter referred
to as "Utility and Energy Costs") -- If the Utility and Energy
Costs, including any fuel surcharges or adjustments with respect
thereto, incurred for water, sewer, gas, electric, other utilities
and heating, ventilating and air conditioning for the Building, to
include all leased and leasable areas (not separately billed or
metered within the Building) and Common Facilities electric,
lighting, water, sewer and other utilities for the Building and
Office Building Area, for any Lease Year or Partial Lease Year,
during the Term, shall be greater than the Base Utility and Energy
Costs (adjusted proportionately for periods less than a Lease Year),
then Lessee shall pay to Lessor as Additional Rent, Lessee's
Percentage as hereinafter defined, of all such excess Utility and
Energy Costs. As used in this Article 23, the Base Utility and
Energy Costs shall be as defined in the Preamble.
c. TAX ESCALATION -- If the Real Estate Taxes for the Building and
Office Building Area at which the Premises are located for any Lease
Year or Partial Lease Year, during the Lease Term, shall be greater
than the Base Real Estate Taxes (adjusted proportionately for
periods less than a Lease Year), then Lessee shall pay to Lessor as
Additional Rent, Lessee's Percentage as hereinafter defined, of all
such excess Real Estate Taxes.
As used in this Article 23(c), the words and terms which follow mean
and include the following:
i. "Base Real Estate Taxes" shall be as defined in the Preamble.
ii. "Real Estate Taxes" shall mean the property taxes and
assessments imposed upon the Building and Office Building
Area, or upon the rent, as such, payable to the Lessor,
including, but not limited to, real estate, city, county,
village, school and transit taxes, or taxes, assessments, or
charges levied, imposed or assessed against the Building and
Office Building Area by any other taxing authority, whether
general or specific, ordinary or extraordinary, foreseen or
unforeseen. If due to a future change in the method of
taxation, any franchise, income or profit tax shall be levied
against Lessor in substitution for, or in lieu of, or in
addition to, any tax which would otherwise constitute a Real
Estate Tax, such franchise, income or profit tax shall be
deemed to be a Real Estate Tax for the purposes hereof;
conversely, any additional real estate tax hereafter imposed
in substitution for, or in lieu of, any franchise, income or
profit tax (which is not in substitution for, or in lieu of,
or in addition to, a Real Estate Tax as hereinbefore provided)
shall not be deemed a Real Estate Tax for the purposes hereof.
17
d. LEASE YEAR -- As used in this Article 23, Lease Year shall mean a
calendar year. Any portion of the Term which is less than a Lease
Year as hereinbefore defined, that is, from the Commencement Date
through the following December 31, and from the last January 1,
falling within the Term to the end of the Term, shall be deemed a
"Partial Lease Year." Any reference in this Lease to a Lease Year
shall, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, be deemed to
be a reference to a Partial Lease Year if the period in question
involves a Partial Lease Year.
e. PAYMENT -- At any time, and from time to time, after the
establishment of the Base Period Costs for each of the categories
referred to above, Lessor shall advise Lessee in writing of Lessee's
Percentage share with respect to each of the categories as
reasonably estimated for the next twelve (12) month period (or
proportionate part thereof if the last period prior to the Lease's
expiration is less than twelve (12) months) as then known to the
Lessor, and thereafter, the Lessee shall pay as Additional Rent,
Lessee's Percentage share of these costs for the then current period
affected by such advice (as the same may be periodically reasonably
revised by Lessor as additional costs are incurred) in equal monthly
installments, such new rates being applied to any months, for which
the Fixed Basic Rent shall have already been paid which are affected
by the Operating Cost Escalation and/or Utility and Energy Cost
Escalation and/or Tax Escalation Costs above referred to, as well as
the unexpired months of the current period, the adjustment for the
then expired months to be made at the payment of the next succeeding
monthly rental, all subject to final adjustment at the expiration of
each Lease Year as defined in Article 23(d) hereof (or Partial Lease
Year if the last period prior to the Lease's termination is less
than twelve (12) months). However, Lessor shall be reimbursed by
Lessee monthly during the first year of the Term for additional
Utility and Energy Cost Escalations resulting from an increase in
the monthly rate over the Base Utility Rate.
In the event the last period prior to the Lease's termination is
less than twelve (12) months, the Base Period Costs during said
period shall be proportionately reduced to correspond to the
duration of said final period.
f. BOOKS AND REPORTS -- For the protection of Lessee, Lessor shall
maintain books of account which shall be open to Lessee and its
representatives at all reasonable times so that Lessee can determine
that such Operating, Utility and Energy and Real Estate Tax Costs
have, in fact, been paid or incurred. Lessee's representatives shall
mean only (i) Lessee's employees or (ii) a Certified Public
Accounting firm. At Lessor's request, Lessee shall execute a
confidentiality agreement reasonably acceptable to Lessor prior to
any examination of Lessor's books and records. In the event Lessee
disputes any one or more of said charges, Lessee shall attempt to
resolve such dispute with Lessor, provided that if such dispute
shall not be satisfactorily settled between Lessor and Lessee, the
dispute shall be referred by either party to an independent
certified public accountant to be mutually agreed upon, and if such
an accountant cannot be agreed upon, The American Arbitration
Association may be asked by either party to select an arbitrator,
whose decision on the dispute will be final and binding upon both
parties, who shall jointly share any cost of such arbitration.
Pending resolution of said dispute the Lessee shall pay to Lessor
the sum so billed by Lessor subject to its ultimate resolution as
aforesaid.
g. RIGHT OF REVIEW -- Once Lessor shall have finally determined said
Operating, Utility and Energy or Real Estate Tax Costs at the
expiration of a Lease Year, then as to the item so established,
Lessee shall only be entitled to dispute said charge as finally
established for a period of six (6) months after such charge is
finally established, and Lessee specifically waives any right to
dispute any such charge at the expiration of said six (6) month
period.
h. OCCUPANCY ADJUSTMENT -- If, with respect to Operating Cost
Escalation, as established in Article 23(a) hereof, and Utility and
Energy Cost Escalation, as established in Article 23(b) hereof, the
Building is less than ninety-five percent (95%) occupied during the
establishment of the respective Base Periods, then the Base Costs
incurred with respect to said Operating Cost or Utility and Energy
Cost
18
shall be adjusted during any such period within the Base Period so
as to reflect ninety-five percent (95%) occupancy. Similarly, if
during any Lease Year or Partial Lease Year, subsequent to the Base
Period the Building is less than ninety-five percent (95%) occupied,
then the actual costs incurred for Operating Cost and Utility and
Energy Cost shall be increased during any such period to reflect
ninety-five percent (95%) occupancy so that at all times after the
Base Period the Operating Cost or Utility and Energy Cost shall be
actual costs, but in the event less than ninety-five percent (95%)
of the Building is occupied during all or part of the Lease Year
involved, the Operating Cost or Utility and Energy Cost shall not be
less than that which would have been incurred had ninety-five
percent (95%) of the Building been occupied. The aforesaid
adjustment shall only be made with respect to those items that are
in fact affected by variations in occupancy levels.
24. LESSEE'S ESTOPPEL:
Lessee shall, from time to time, on not less that ten (10) days prior
written request by Lessor, execute, acknowledge and deliver to Lessor a
written statement certifying that the Lease is unmodified and in full
force and effect, or that the Lease is in full force and effect as
modified and listing the instruments of modification; the dates to which
the rents and charges have been paid; and, to the best of Lessee's
knowledge, whether or not Lessor is in default hereunder, and if so,
specifying the nature of the default. It is intended that any such
statement delivered pursuant to this Article 24 may be relied on by a
prospective purchaser of Lessor's interest or mortgagee of Lessor's
interest or assignee of any mortgage of Lessor's interest. Lessee shall
also execute and deliver the form "Lessee Estoppel Certificate" attached
hereto as Exhibit F. Upon request from Lessee, Lessor shall execute and
deliver to Lessee an estoppel certificate reasonably satisfactory to
Lessor.
25. HOLDOVER TENANCY:
If Lessee holds possession of the Premises after the Expiration Date of
this Lease, Lessee shall (i) become a tenant from month to month under the
provisions herein provided, but at one hundred and fifty percent (150%) of
the monthly Fixed Basic Rental for the last month of the Term, plus the
Additional Rent, for the first month of Lessee's holding over and two
hundred percent (200%) of the monthly Fixed Basic Rent for the last month
of the Term, plus the Additional Rent, thereafter, which shall continue as
provided in the Lease which sum shall be payable in advance on the first
day of each month, and without the requirement for demand or notice by
Lessor to Lessee demanding delivery of possession of said Premises, and
such tenancy shall continue until terminated by Lessor, or until Lessee
shall have given to Lessor, at least sixty (60) days prior to the intended
date of termination, a written notice of intent to terminate such tenancy,
which termination date must be as of the end of a calendar month; and (ii)
indemnify Lessor against loss or liability resulting from the delay by
Lessee in so surrendering the Premises including, without limitation, any
claims made by any succeeding occupant founded on such delay. Lessee's
obligations under this Section shall survive the expiration or sooner
termination of the Lease. The time limitations described in this Section
25 shall not be subject to extension for Force Majeure.
26. RIGHT TO SHOW PREMISES:
Lessor may show the Premises to prospective purchasers and mortgagees; and
during the twelve (12) months prior to termination of this Lease, to
prospective tenants, during Building Hours on reasonable notice to Lessee.
27. LESSOR'S WORK - LESSEE'S DRAWINGS:

28. WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY:
To the extent such waiver is permitted by law, the parties waive trial by
jury in any action or proceeding brought in connection with this Lease or
the Premises.
29. LATE CHARGE:
Anything in this Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, at Lessor's
option, Lessee shall pay a "Late Charge" of eight percent (8%) of any
installment of Fixed Basic Rent or Additional Rent paid more than five (5)
days after the due date thereof, to cover the extra expense involved in
handling delinquent payments, said Late Charge to be considered Additional
Rent. The amount of the Late Charge to be paid by Lessee shall be
reassessed and added to Lessee's obligations for each successive monthly
period until paid.
Notwithstanding anything in this Section to the contrary, Lessor shall
waive a Late Charge one time during each Lease Year provided, however, the
installment of Fixed Basic Rent or Additional Rent so due is paid by the
fifteenth (15th) day of the month. Payment received subsequent to the
fifteenth (15th) of the month during these grace periods shall require a
Late Charge to be reassessed and added to Lessee's obligations hereunder.
30. LESSEE'S INSURANCE:
a. Lessee covenants to provide at Lessee's cost and expense on or
before the earlier of (i) the Commencement Date, or (ii) Lessee's
taking actual possession for the purpose of completing any
improvement work, and to keep in full force and effect during the
entire Term and so long thereafter as Lessee, or anyone claiming by,
through or under Lessee, shall occupy the Premises, insurance
coverage as follows:
i. Commercial General Liability insurance with contractual
liability endorsements with respect to the Premises and the

under limits of liability of not less than THREE MILLION AND
00/100 DOLLARS ($3,000,000.00) combined single limit per
occurrence for bodily or personal injury (including death) and
property damage. Such insurance may be carried (x) under a
blanket policy covering the Premises and other locations of
Lessee, if any, provided that each such policy shall in all
respects comply with this Article and shall specify that the
portion of the total coverage of such policy that is allocated
to the Premises is in the amounts required pursuant to this
Article 30 and (y) under a primary liability policy of not
less than ONE MILLION AND 00/100 DOLLARS ($1,000,000.00) and
the balance under an umbrella policy. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained in this Lease, the carrying of
insurance by Lessee in compliance with this Article 30 shall
not modify, reduce, limit or impair Lessee's obligations and
liability under Article 33 hereof.
ii. Fire and Extended Coverage, Vandalism, Malicious Mischief,
Sprinkler Leakage and Special Extended Coverage Insurance in
an amount adequate to cover the cost of replacement of all
personal property, decoration, trade fixtures, furnishings,
equipment in the Premises and all contents therein. Lessor
shall not be liable for any damage to such property of Lessee
by fire or other peril includable in the coverage afforded by
the standard form of fire insurance policy with extended
coverage endorsement attached (whether or not such coverage is
in effect), no matter how caused, it being understood that the
Lessee will look solely to its insurer for reimbursement.
iii. Worker's Compensation Insurance in the minimum statutory
amount covering all persons employed by Lessee.
iv. Said limits shall be subject to periodic review and Lessor
reserves the right to increase said coverage limits if, in the
reasonable opinion of Lessor, said
20
coverage becomes inadequate and is less than that commonly
maintained by tenants in similar buildings in the area by
tenants making similar uses. On or before the Commencement
Date, and thereafter at Lessor's request, Lessee shall provide
Lessor evidence of the insurance coverage required herein in
the form of a duplicate original insurance policy, an
insurance binder (countersigned by the insurer), or Evidence
of Insurance (in form ACORD 27 with respect to property
insurance and ACORD 25-S with respect to liability insurance)
for each of the insurance policies Lessee is required to carry
in compliance with its obligations under this Lease.
b. All of the aforesaid insurance under subparagraph (a)(i) above shall
(i) name Lessor as an additional insured; (ii) be written by one or
more responsible insurance companies licensed in the State of New
Jersey satisfactory to Lessor and in form satisfactory to Lessor;
(iii) contain endorsements substantially as follows: "It is
understood and agreed that the insurer will give to Lessor, or any
successor lessor, c/o Mack-Cali Realty Corporation, 11 Commerce
Drive, Cranford, New Jersey, thirty (30) days prior written notice
of any material change in or cancellation of this policy."; (iv)
shall be written on an "occurrence" basis and not on a "claims made"
basis.
c. Lessee shall be solely responsible for payment of premium and Lessor
(or its designee) shall not be required to pay any premium for such
insurance. Lessee shall deliver to Lessor at least fifteen (15) days
prior to the expiration of such policy, either a duplicate original
or a certificate it being the intention of the parties hereto that
the insurance required under the terms hereof shall be continuous
during the entire Term of this Lease and any other period of time
during which pursuant to the Term hereof, said insurance is
required. Any insurance carried by Lessee shall be in excess of and
will not contribute with the insurance carried by Lessor for
injuries or damage arising out of the Premises.
d. Lessee agrees, at its own cost and expense, to comply with all rules
and regulations of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA)
National Fire Code. If, at any time or from time to time, as a
result of or in connection with any failure by Lessee to comply with
the foregoing sentence or any act or omission or commission by
Lessee, its employees, agents, contractors or licensees, or a result
of or in connection with the use to which the Premises are put
(notwithstanding that such use may be for the purposes hereinbefore
permitted or that such use may have been consented to by Lessor),
the fire insurance rate(s) applicable to the Premises shall be
higher than that which would be applicable for a business office
legally permitted therein, Lessee agrees that it will pay to Lessor
as Additional Rent, such portion of the premiums for all Lessor's
fire insurance policies in force with respect to the building and
the contents of any occupant thereof as shall be attributable to
such higher rate(s).
e. Lessor makes no representation that the limits of liability
specified to be carried by Lessee or Lessor under the terms of this
Lease are adequate to protect Lessee against Lessee's undertaking
under this Article 30, and in the event Lessee believes that any
such insurance coverage called for under this Lease is insufficient,
Lessee shall provide, at is own expense, such additional insurance
as Lessee deems adequate.
f. In the event the Premises or its contents are damaged or destroyed
by fire or other insured casualty, (i) Lessor, to the extent of the
coverage of Lessor's policies of fire insurance, hereby waives its
rights, if any, against Lessee with respect to such damage or
destruction, even if said fire or other casualty shall have been
caused, in whole or in part, by the negligence of the Lessee, and
(ii) Lessee, to the extent of the coverage of Lessee's policies of
fire insurance with extended coverage, hereby waives its rights, if
any, against Lessor with respect to such damage, or destruction,
even if said fire or other casualty shall have been caused, in whole
or in part, by the negligence of Lessor; provided, however, such
waivers of subrogation shall only be effective with respect to loss
or damage occurring during such time as Lessor's or Lessee's
policies of fire insurance (as the case may be) shall contain a
clause or endorsement providing in substance that the aforesaid
waiver of subrogation shall not prejudice the type and amount of
coverage under such policies or the right of Lessor
21
or Lessee (as the case may be) to recover thereunder. If, at any
time, Lessor's or Lessee's insurance carrier refuses to write
insurance which contains a consent to the foregoing waiver of
subrogation, Lessor or Lessee, as the case may be, shall notify the
party thereof in writing, and upon the giving of such notice, the
provisions of this Section shall be null and void as to any casualty
which occurs after such notice. If Lessor's or Lessee's insurance
carrier shall make a charge for the incorporation of the aforesaid
waiver of subrogation in its policies, then the party requesting the
waiver shall promptly pay such charge to the other party upon
demand. In the event the party requesting their waiver fails to pay
such charge upon demand, the other party shall be released of its
obligation to supply such waiver.
[See following page 22]
g. Should Lessee fail to maintain the insurance coverage as set forth
in this Article 30, then Lessee shall be in default hereunder and
shall be deemed to have breached its covenants as set forth herein.
31. NO OTHER REPRESENTATIONS:
No representations or promises shall be binding on the parties hereto
except those representations and promises contained herein or in some
future writing signed by the party making such representation(s) or
promise(s).
32. QUIET ENJOYMENT:
Lessor covenants that if, and so long as, Lessee pays Fixed Basic Rent,

herein mentioned, subject to the provisions of this Lease.
33. INDEMNITY:
Lessee shall defend, indemnify and save harmless Lessor and its agents

business therein, or (y) any work or thing whatsoever done, or any
condition created (other than by Lessor, its agents or contractors for
Lessor's or Lessee's account) in or about the Premises during the Term of
this Lease, or during the period of time, if any, prior to the
Commencement Date that Lessee may have been given access to the Premises,

this Lease or (ii) arising from any negligent or otherwise wrongful act or
omission of Lessee or any of its subtenants or licensees or its or their

and liabilities including attorneys fees and disbursements incurred in or
in connection with each such claim, action or proceeding brought thereon.

recovery against the other party. Lessor and Lessee agree not to make claims
against, or seek to recover from, the other party for loss or damage to its
property or property of others covered by such insurance. To the extent Lessee
shall be a self-insurer, Lessee waives the right of recovery, if any, against
Lessor, its agents and employees, for loss, damages or destruction of Lessee's
property.

or of any lease thereof, or if a mortgagee shall take possession of the
Premises, the Lessor herein shall be and hereby is entirely freed and
relieved of all covenants and obligations of Lessor hereunder accruing

42. DEFINITIONS:
a. AFFILIATE -- Affiliate shall mean any corporation related to Lessee
as a parent, subsidiary or brother-sister corporation so that such

Facilities) [the numerator] as compared with the total number of
gross square feet of the entire Building (or additional buildings
that may be constructed within the Office Building Area) [the
denominator] measured outside wall to outside wall, but excluding
therefrom any storage areas. Lessor shall have the right to make
changes or revisions in the Common Facilities of the Building so as

utility provided for in Article 23(b) is separately billed or
separately metered within the Building, then the square footage so
billed or metered shall be subtracted from the denominator and the
Lessee's proportionate share for such service and/or utility shall
be separately computed, and the Base Costs for such item shall not
include any charges attributable to said square footage. Lessee
understands that as a result of changes in the layout of the Common
Facilities from time to time occurring due to, by way of example and
not by way of limitation, the rearrangement of corridors, the
aggregate of all Building tenant proportionate shares may be equal
to, less than or greater than one hundred percent (100%).
43. LEASE COMMENCEMENT:
The Commencement Date of this Lease, as defined in the Preamble to this

improvement work pursuant to Exhibit C attached hereto.
44. NOTICES:
Any notice by either party to the other shall be in writing and shall be
deemed to have been duly given only if (i) delivered personally or (ii)
sent by registered mail or certified mail return receipt requested in a
postage paid envelope addressed or (iii) sent by nationally recognized
overnight delivery service, if to Lessee, at the above described
Building; if to Lessor, at Lessor's address as set forth above; or, to
either at such other address as Lessee or Lessor, respectively, may

service, the next business day.
45. ACCORD AND SATISFACTION:
No payment by Lessee or receipt by Lessor of a lesser amount than the rent
and additional charges payable hereunder shall be deemed to be other than
a payment on account of the earliest stipulated Fixed Basic Rent and
Additional Rent, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or
any letter accompanying any check or payment for Fixed Basic Rent or
Additional Rent be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Lessor may
accept such check or payment without prejudice to Lessor's right to
recover the balance of such Fixed Basic Rent and Additional Rent or pursue
any other remedy provided herein or by law.
46. EFFECT OF WAIVERS:
No failure by Lessor to insist upon the strict performance of any
covenant, agreement, term or condition of this Lease, or to exercise any
right or remedy consequent upon a breach thereof, and no acceptance of
full or partial rent during the continuance of any such breach, shall
constitute a waiver of any such breach or of such covenant, agreement,
term or condition. No consent, or waiver, express or implied, by Lessor to
or of any breach of any covenant, condition or duty of Lessee shall be
construed as a consent or waiver to or of any other breach of the same or
any other covenant, condition or duty, unless in writing signed by Lessor.

Intentionally Omitted.
48. MORTGAGEE'S NOTICE AND OPPORTUNITY TO CURE:

provided that, prior to such notice, Lessee has
25
been notified in writing (by way of notice of assignment of rents and
leases or otherwise) of the address of such mortgagees and/or trust deed
holders. Lessee further agrees that, if Lessor shall have failed to cure
such default within the time provided for in this Lease, then the
mortgagees and/or trust deed holders shall have an additional thirty (30)
days within which 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, any mortgagee and/or trust deed holder has
commenced and is diligently pursuing the remedies necessary to cure such
default (including but not limited to commencement of foreclosure
proceedings if necessary to effect such cure), in which event this Lease
shall not be terminated while such remedies are being so diligently
pursued.
49. LESSOR'S RESERVED RIGHT:
Lessor and Lessee acknowledge that the Premises are in a Building which is
not open to the general public. Access to the Building is restricted to
Lessor, Lessee, their agents, employees and contractors and to their
invited visitors. In the event of a labor dispute including a strike,
picketing, informational or associational activities directed at Lessee or

plus such additional percentage increase of the aforesaid hourly sum
computed by measuring the percentage increase between the rate in effect
(including fuel surcharges or adjustments) during the month for which such
overtime use is requested and the Base Rate. The Base Rate for purposes
hereof shall be the average of the rates in effect (including surcharges
and/or adjustments) during Calendar Year 2000.
In no event shall the Lessee pay less than the sum of SIXTY AND 00/100
DOLLARS ($60.00) per hour for such overtime air-conditioning service or
less than FORTY-FIVE AND 00/100 DOLLARS ($45.00) per hour for such
overtime heating service.
52. LESSEE'S EXPANSION/RELOCATION:
The Lessor, in its sole discretion, shall have the right one time during
the initial term of this Lease to change the location of the Premises to

Premises and its attributable Common Facilities exceed the total of
the Premises and its attributable Common Facilities, the Lessee

total square footage shall be less, Lessee's Fixed Basic Rent and
Lessee's Percentage shall be decreased proportionately.
c. The Lessor shall give the Lessee not less than forty-five (45) days
prior notice of Lessor's decision to relocate the Lessee; and the
Lessee agrees that no later than forty-five (45) days from the date
of its receipt of such notice it shall relocate to the Substituted
Leased Premises.
d. The Lessor shall bear and pay for the cost and expense of any such
relocation; provided, however, that the Lessee shall not be entitled
to any compensation for damages for any interference with or
interruption of its business during or resulting from such
relocation. The Lessor shall make reasonable efforts to minimize
such interference.
e. In connection with any such relocation, the Lessor shall, at its own
cost and expense, furnish and install in (or, if practicable,
relocate to) the Substituted Leased Premises all walls, partitions,
floors, floor coverings, ceilings, fixtures, wiring and plumbing, if
any, (as distinguished from trade fixtures, equipment, furniture,
furnishings and other personal property belonging to Lessee)
required for the Lessee's proper use and occupancy thereof, all of
which items shall be comparable in quality to those situated in the

replacement cost thereof; (y) comprehensive general liability insurance
against claims for bodily injury and property damage occurring in or about
the Common Facilities in amounts customarily carried by owners of similar
buildings in the Morris County, New Jersey area; and (z) insurance against
such other hazards as, from time to time, are then commonly insured
against for buildings similarly situated in amounts normally carried with
respect thereto. All insurance maintained pursuant to this Article 54 may
be effected by blanket insurance policies.
EACH PARTY AGREES that it will not raise or assert as a defense to any
obligation under the Lease or this Agreement or make any claim that the Lease or
