ARTICLE I
SHARED SERVICES
Section 1.1 Shared Services, Assets, and Employees.
(a) Services.
Commencing on the Effective Date and continuing through the duration of the Services Period (as defined below), MCRLP shall assist the Partnership in its day-to-day business and operations, as an indirect subsidiary of MCRLP. MCRLP shall provide the Partnership with (i) those services provided to the Partnership prior to the Effective Date and those services described on Schedule 1 and (ii) any additional services reasonably required by the Partnership to conduct its business that MCRLP provides for itself or its affiliates (the Base Services and, together with Additional Services agreed by the Parties in accordance with Section 1.1(b), the Services). The Services shall only be made available, and the Partnership shall only be entitled to utilize the Services, for the benefit of the operation of the Partnerships business. MCRLPs obligations to perform services hereunder shall be limited to the Services. Schedule 1 may be amended from time to time with the mutual consent of both Parties, or as otherwise provided in this Agreement.
(b) Additional Services.
In the event that the Partnership determines that it would be beneficial for MCRLP to provide any additional service or services not included in the Services, or a material change in the then-current Services, to the Partnership, the Partnership shall request in writing that MCRLP provide such additional services (as so determined, the Additional Services). MCRLP shall, in its reasonable discretion, determine (i) whether to provide such Additional Services, taking into consideration its ability to provide such Additional Services, and (ii) the amount, if any, by which the Services Fee (as defined below) shall be increased to reflect all Additional Services to be performed. The Parties shall agree in writing on any Additional Services to be performed and any corresponding increase in the Services Fee. Following such agreement, Schedule 1 shall be amended to reflect all Additional Services to be performed. The Additional Services shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement as with any other Services provided hereunder. Except as provided herein, the Services Fee may not be increased without the prior written approval of the Investors, which approval may not be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding the foregoing, MCRLP shall have no obligation to provide any Additional Services or to negotiate the additional Services Fee with the Partnership or the Investors.
(c) Subcontractors.
MCRLP may, directly or through one or more affiliates, hire or engage one or more subcontractors, consultants, vendors, or other third parties (each, a Subcontractor) to perform any or all of the Services under this Agreement to the extent MCRLP has determined in its sole discretion that such Subcontractors are reasonably necessary for the efficient performance of any of the Services and to the extent MCRLP, directly or through one or more
affiliates, hires or engages such Subcontractors to provide similar services for itself or its affiliates; provided, that MCRLP shall remain ultimately responsible for ensuring that the obligations set forth in this Agreement are satisfied with respect to any Services provided by any Subcontractor.
(d) Sharing of Space and Assets.
In connection with the provision of the Services, MCRLP agrees to share with the Partnership the commercial office space located at Harborside 3, 210 Hudson Street, Suite 400, Jersey City, NJ 07311 and provide certain computer systems, hardware, and other assets to the Partnership (collectively, the Shared Assets). The determination of which assets constitute Shared Assets and the scope of the Partnerships use of the Shared Assets shall be made by MCRLP in its reasonable discretion. For the avoidance of doubt, the commercial office space located at 150 JFK Parkway, Short Hills, NJ 07078 and 7 Sylvan Way, Parsippany, NJ 07054 shall not constitute Shared Assets and shall be governed by separate lease agreements attached hereto as Exhibit A.]
(e) Service Delivery Employees.
MCRLP may, from time to time, permit some of its employees to render the Services or perform other functions for the benefit of the Partnership (the Service Delivery Employees). The Service Delivery Employees will, at all times, remain employees of MCRLP or its affiliates, and shall not become employees of the Partnership. MCRLP shall remain solely responsible for any liability in respect to the Service Delivery Employees and their beneficiaries and dependents relating to any employment or termination of employment of any Service Delivery Employees. The use of Service Delivery Employees and their scope of responsibilities shall be determined by MCRLP in its sole discretion.

General Conditions
1. LEASE:
Landlord has leased the Premises to Tenant for the Term.
2. FIXED BASIC RENT:
Tenant will pay Landlord the Fixed Basic Rent. At Landlords option, upon notice to Tenant, Tenant will pay the Fixed Basic Rent and Additional Rent by electronic transfer. The Fixed Basic Rent payable for the entire Term will be the aggregate of the Annual Rate set forth in the Basic Lease Provisions and will be payable, in advance, on the first day of each calendar month during the Term at the Monthly Installments set forth in the Basic Lease Provisions, except that a proportionately lesser amount will be paid for the first month of the Term if the Term commences on a day other than the first day of the month. Tenant will pay the first (1st) full monthly installment of Fixed Basic Rent upon Tenants execution and delivery of this Lease. Tenant will pay Fixed Basic Rent, and any Additional Rent, to Landlord at Landlords address set forth in the first paragraph of this Lease, or at such other place as Landlord may designate in writing, without demand and without counterclaim, deduction or set off.
3. USE AND OCCUPANCY:
Tenant will use the Premises solely for the Permitted Use.
Neither Tenant, nor anyone acting by or through Tenant, will generate, handle, dispose, store or discharge any hazardous substances or wastes as defined by Legal Requirements in, on or around the Premises, the Building or the Real Property in violation of any Legal Requirements (such actions collectively referred to as Prohibited Actions). Tenant will defend, indemnify and hold Landlord harmless against any and all loss, cost, damage, liability or expense (including attorneys fees and disbursements) which Landlord may sustain as a result of any Prohibited Actions.
4. CARE AND REPAIR OF PREMISES:
Tenant will not commit any act that damages the Premises or Building and will take good care of the Premises, and will comply with all Legal Requirements affecting the Premises or the Tenants use and/or occupancy of the Premises. Landlord will, at Tenants expense, make all necessary repairs to the Premises. Landlord will make all necessary repairs to the Common Facilities. The cost of repairs to the Common Facilities will be included in Operating Costs, except where the repair has been made necessary by misuse or neglect by Tenant or Tenants agents, employees, contractors, invitees, visitors or licensees (collectively, Tenants Agents), in which event Landlord will nevertheless make the repair but Tenant will pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, upon demand, the cost incurred by Landlord to complete such repairs. All improvements made by Tenant prior to or after the commencement of the Term which are attached to the Premises will, at Landlords option, become the property of Landlord upon the expiration or sooner
termination of this Lease. Not later than the last day of the Term, Tenant will, at Tenants expense, remove from the Building all of Tenants personal property and those improvements made by Tenant which Landlord has not elected by notice to Tenant to retain as Landlords property, as well as all trade fixtures (other than built-in cabinet work), moveable partitions, telephone, computer, data and antenna wiring, cabling and related conduit and the like. Tenant will repair all injury done by or in connection with the installation or removal of said property, improvements, wiring and the like; cap or terminate all telephone, computer and data connections at service entry panels in accordance with Legal Requirements; and surrender the Premises in as good condition as they were at the beginning of the Term, except for reasonable wear and damage by casualty or other cause not due to the misuse or neglect by Tenant and/or Tenants Agents. All property of Tenant remaining on the Premises after the last day of the Term will be conclusively deemed abandoned and may be removed and discarded or stored at Tenants risk by Landlord, and Tenant will pay Landlord for the cost of such removal, discarding and/or storage. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Tenant shall remove all installations that are non-standard office improvements. For purposes hereof, non-standard office improvements shall mean raised flooring, interior staircases, vaults, elevators, modifications to the Buildings utility and mechanical systems and unusual configuration for first class office space. Tenant shall repair any damage to the Premises resulting from such removal.
Tenant is responsible for all costs related to the repair and maintenance of any additional or supplemental HVAC systems, appliances and equipment serving exclusively the Premises or installed to meet Tenants specific requirements. Tenant will purchase and maintain throughout the Term an annual full maintenance and service contract for this equipment and will forward a copy of each proposed contract to Landlord for its approval prior to signing it. Landlord does not recommend the installation or operation of a dishwasher within the Premises given their inherent risks; therefore, Tenant assumes full risk and responsibility for the installation and operation of a dishwasher in the Premises and agrees to indemnify, release and hold harmless, Landlord, its agents, employees, contractors, tenants, occupants and invitees from any and all claims, liabilities, injuries, losses, damages, or expenses of whatever nature or kind, that in any way arise from the dishwasher, including, but not limited to, any and all claims concerning leaks, mildew, mold or mold-like infestation within the Premises and/or Building. In furtherance of the foregoing, such indemnification shall include but not be limited to, any claims by Landlord with respect to damage to the Common Facilities of the Building, as well as claims by other tenants of the Building for damage to the premises occupied by such other tenants and the personal property located therein, resulting from the installation and operation of the dishwasher or resulting from any leak or other malfunctioning of the dishwasher resulting from the installation or operation of the dishwasher following the date of this Lease. In the event that, in the sole and exclusive opinion of Landlord or as may be required by legal requirements, remediation of any mildew, mold or mold-like infestation in the Premises and/or the Building is required, Landlord shall make all necessary repairs to the Premises and/or the Building, as the case may be, at Tenants sole and exclusive cost and expense. Landlord assumes no responsibility whatsoever for Tenants installation and use of a dishwasher and Tenant hereby agrees to assume all responsibility, costs and expenses in connection with Tenants use of a dishwasher,
including any and all maintenance, repairs or replacements to the dishwasher. Landlord shall provide cleaning services to the Premises as set forth in this Lease, however, Landlord shall not be responsible for running, emptying or cleaning the dishwasher.
5. ALTERATIONS, ADDITIONS OR IMPROVEMENTS:
Tenant will not, without first obtaining the written consent of Landlord, make any alterations, additions or improvements (collectively, alterations) in, to or about the Premises. Unless the alterations affect the Common Facilities or Building Systems or would otherwise require a building permit, Landlord will not unreasonably withhold or delay its consent. Building Systems include the life safety, plumbing, electrical, heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems in the Building. Tenant may, upon prior notice to Landlord, perform minor cosmetic improvements, such as painting and wallpapering, without the prior consent of Landlord.
If Tenant shall request the consent or approval of Landlord to the making of any alterations or to any other thing, and Landlord shall seek and pay a separate fee for the opinion of Landlords counsel, architect, engineer or other representative or agent as to the form or substance thereof, Tenant shall pay Landlord, as Additional Rent, within 30 days after demand, all reasonable costs and expenses of Landlord incurred in connection therewith, including, in case of any alterations, costs and expenses of Landlord in reviewing plans and specifications.
6. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLEASE:
Tenant will not mortgage, pledge, assign or otherwise transfer this Lease or sublet all or any portion of the Premises in any manner except as specifically provided for in this Article 6:
a) If Tenant desires to assign this Lease or sublease all or part of the Premises, the terms and conditions of such assignment or sublease will be communicated by Tenant to Landlord in writing no less than thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of such sublease or assignment. Prior to such effective date, Landlord will have the option, upon notice to Tenant, to terminate the Lease, (i) in the case of subletting, solely as to that portion of the Premises to be sublet, or (ii) in the case of an assignment, as to all of the Premises, and in such event, Tenant will be fully released from its obligations with respect to the terminated space (Recapture Space) accruing from and after the effective date. If Landlord terminates the Lease as to the Recapture Space, in no event will Landlord be liable for a brokerage commission in connection with the proposed assignment or sublet. If Landlord recaptures the Recapture Space, Tenant shall be solely responsible, at its cost and expense, for all alterations required to separate the Recapture Space from the balance of the Premises, including, but not limited to, construction of demising walls and separation of utilities.
b) In the event that the Landlord elects not to terminate the Lease as to the Recapture Space, Tenant may assign this Lease or sublet the whole or any portion of the Premises, subject to Landlords prior written consent, which consent will not be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, subject to the following terms and conditions and provided the proposed occupancy is in keeping with that of a first-class office building:
i) Tenant will provide to Landlord the name, address, nature of the business and evidence of the financial condition of the proposed assignee or sublessee;
ii) The assignee will assume, by written instrument, all of the obligations of the Tenant under this Lease, and a copy of such assumption agreement will be furnished to Landlord within ten (10) days of its execution. No further assignment of this Lease or subletting of all or any part of the Premises will be permitted;
iii) Each sublease will provide that sublessees rights will be no greater than those of Tenant, and that the sublease is subject and subordinate to this Lease and to the matters to which this Lease is or will be subordinate, and that in the event of default by Tenant under this Lease, Landlord may, at its option, have such sublessee attorn to Landlord provided, however, in such case Landlord will not (i) be liable for any previous act or omission of Tenant under such sublease or, (ii) be subject to any offset not expressly provided for in this Lease or by any previous prepayment of more than one months rent;
iv) The liability of Tenant and each assignee will be joint, several and primary for the observance of all the provisions, obligations and undertakings of this Lease, including the payment of Fixed Basic Rent and Additional Rent through the entire Term, as the same may be renewed, extended or otherwise modified;
v) Tenant will promptly pay to Landlord any consideration received for any assignment or all of the rent (fixed basic rent and additional rent) and any other consideration payable by the subtenant to Tenant under or in connection with a sublease, as and when received, in excess of the Fixed Basic Rent required to be paid by Tenant for the area sublet;
vi) The acceptance by Landlord of any rent from the assignee or from any subtenant or the failure of Landlord to insist upon strict performance of any of the terms, conditions and covenants of this Lease will release neither Tenant, nor any assignee assuming this Lease, from the Tenants obligations set forth in this Lease;
vii) The proposed assignee or subtenant is not then an occupant of any part of the Building or any other building then owned by Landlord or its affiliates within a five-mile radius of the Building;
viii) The proposed assignee or subtenant is not an entity or a person or an affiliate of an entity with whom Landlord is or has been, within the preceding twelve (12) month period, negotiating to lease space in the Building or any other building owned by Landlord or its affiliates within a five-mile radius of the Building;
ix) There will not be more than one (1) subtenant in the Premises;
x) Tenant will not advertise the subtenancy for less than Landlords then current market rent for the Premises;
xi) Tenant will pay Landlord a TWO THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED AND 00/100 DOLLAR ($2,500.00) administrative fee for each request for consent to any sublet or assignment simultaneously with Tenants request for consent to a specific sublet or assignment; and
xii) The proposed assignee or subtenant will use the Premises for the Permitted Use only.
c) If Tenant is a corporation (other than a corporation whose stock is listed and traded on a nationally recognized stock exchange), the transfer (however accomplished, whether in a single transaction or in a series of related or unrelated transactions) of a majority of the issued and outstanding 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 Tenant], and if Tenant is a partnership, joint venture or limited liability company (collectively Entity), the transfer (by one or more transfers) of an interest in the distributions of profits and losses of such Entity (or other mechanism, such as, by way of example, the creation of additional partnership or limited liability company interests) which results in a change of control of such Entity will be deemed an assignment of this Lease, subject to provisions of this Article.
Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to the contrary, Tenant may assign this Lease or sublet all or any portion of the Premises to (i) any corporation or other Entity directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by Tenant or under common control with Tenant, or (ii) any successor by merger, consolidation, corporate reorganization or acquisition of all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant (any transaction referred to in clauses (i) or (ii) hereof will be a Permitted Transfer) provided that the net worth of any transferee of a Permitted Transfer will not be less than the greater of (A) the net worth of Tenant immediately preceding the Permitted Transfer or (B) the net worth of Tenant as of the date of the execution and delivery of this Lease by both parties. Any other assignment or subleasing of Tenants interest under this Lease will be subject to Landlords approval, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
d) Except as specifically set forth above, if any portion of the Premises or of Tenants interest in this Lease is acquired by any other person or entity, whether by assignment, mortgage, sublease, transfer, operation of law or act of the Tenant, or if Tenant pledges its interest in this Lease or in any security deposit required hereunder, Tenant will be in default.
7. COMPLIANCE WITH RULES AND REGULATIONS:
Tenant will observe and comply with the rules and regulations set forth in Exhibit B and with such further reasonable rules and regulations as Landlord may prescribe from time to time.
8. DAMAGES TO BUILDING:
If the Building is damaged by fire or any other cause to such extent that the cost of restoration, as reasonably estimated by Landlord, will equal or exceed twenty-five (25%) percent of the replacement value of the Building (exclusive of foundations) just prior to the occurrence of the damage, then Landlord may, no later than the sixtieth (60th) day following the damage, give Tenant a notice electing to terminate this Lease. In such event, this Lease will terminate on the thirtieth (30th) day after the giving of such notice, and Tenant will surrender possession of the Premises on or before such date. If this Lease is not terminated pursuant to this Article, Landlord will restore the Building and the Premises with reasonable promptness, subject to Force Majeure, as defined in Article 30 e) below, and subject to the availability and adequacy of the insurance proceeds. Landlord shall not be obligated to restore fixtures and improvements owned by Tenant.
In any case in which use of the Premises is affected by any damage to the Building, there will 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 general office use. The words restoration and restore as used in this Article will include repairs.
9. EMINENT DOMAIN:
If Tenants use of the Premises is materially affected due to the taking by eminent domain of (a) the Premises or any part thereof; or (b) any other part of the Building; then, in either event, this Lease will terminate on the date when title vests pursuant to such taking. The Fixed Basic Rent, and any Additional Rent, will be apportioned as of such termination date and any Fixed Basic Rent or Additional Rent paid for any period beyond said date, will be repaid to Tenant. Tenant will not be entitled to any part of the award for such taking or any payment in lieu thereof, but Tenant may file a separate claim for any taking of fixtures and improvements owned by Tenant which have not become the Landlords property, and for moving expenses, provided the same will, in no way, affect or diminish Landlords award. In the event of a partial taking which does not effect a termination of this Lease but does deprive Tenant of the use of a portion of the Premises, there will 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 general office use.
10. LANDLORDS REMEDIES ON DEFAULT:
If Tenant defaults in the payment of Fixed Basic Rent or any Additional Rent or in the performance of any of the other covenants and conditions of this Lease or permits the Premises to become deserted, abandoned or vacated, Landlord may give Tenant notice of such default, and if Tenant does not cure any Fixed Basic Rent or Additional Rent default
within five (5) days or other default within fifteen (15) days after the giving of such notice (or if such other default is of such nature that it cannot be completely cured within such period, if Tenant 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 Landlord may terminate this Lease or Tenants right to possession upon not less than ten (10) days notice to Tenant, and on the date specified in such notice Tenants right to possession of the Premises will cease, but Tenant will remain liable as provided below in this Lease. If this Lease or Tenants right to possession will have been so terminated by Landlord, Landlord may at any time thereafter recover possession of the Premises by any lawful means and remove Tenant or other occupants and their effects. Landlord may, at Tenants expense, relet all or any part of the Premises and may make such alterations, decorations or other changes to the Premises as Landlord considers appropriate in connection with such reletting, without relieving Tenant of any liability under this Lease. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, on demand, such expenses as Landlord may incur, including, without limitation, court costs and reasonable attorneys fees and disbursements, in enforcing the performance of any obligation of Tenant under this Lease.
Tenant hereby waives all right of redemption to which Tenant or any person under Tenant might be entitled by any Legal Requirement. Tenant hereby further waives any and all rights to invoke N.J.S.A. 2A:18-60.
11. DEFICIENCY:
In any case where Tenant has defaulted and Landlord has recovered possession of the Premises or terminated this Lease or Tenants right to possession, Tenants obligation to pay Landlord all the Fixed Basic Rent and Additional Rent up to and including the Expiration Date will not be discharged or otherwise affected. Landlord will have all rights and remedies available to Landlord at law and in equity by reason of Tenants default, and may periodically sue to collect the accrued obligations of the Tenant together with interest at Prime plus four percent per annum from the date owed to the date paid, but in no event greater than the maximum rate of interest permitted by law.
Alternatively, in any case where Landlord has recovered possession of the Premises by reason of Tenants default, Landlord may at Landlords option, and at any time thereafter, and without notice or other action by Landlord, and without prejudice to any other rights or remedies it might have hereunder or at law or equity, become entitled to recover from Tenant, as damages for such breach, in addition to such other sums herein agreed to be paid by Tenant, 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 Date of the original Term and the then fair and reasonable rental value of the Premises for the same period. Said damages shall become due and payable to Landlord 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 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.
12. SUBORDINATION:
This Lease will, at the option of any holder of any underlying lease or holder of any first mortgage or first trust deed, be subject and subordinate to any such underlying lease and to any first mortgage or first trust deed which may now or hereafter affect the Real Property, and also to all renewals, modifications, consolidations and replacements of such underlying leases and first mortgage or first trust deed. Although no instrument or act on the part of Tenant will be necessary to effectuate such subordination, Tenant will, nevertheless, within ten (10) days after written request by Landlord, execute and deliver such further instruments confirming such subordination of this Lease as may be desired by the holders of such first mortgage or first trust deed or by any of the lessors under such underlying leases. If any underlying lease to which this Lease is subject terminates, Tenant will, on timely request, recognize and acknowledge the owner of the Real Property as Tenants landlord under this Lease.
13. SECURITY DEPOSIT:
Tenant will deposit with Landlord on the signing of this Lease by Tenant, the Security Deposit for the performance of Tenants obligations under this Lease, including the surrender of possession of the Premises to Landlord in the condition required under this Lease. If Landlord applies all or any part of the Security Deposit to cure any default of Tenant, Tenant will, on demand, deposit with Landlord the amount so applied so that Landlord will have the full Security Deposit on hand at all times during the Term. In the event of a bona fide sale of the Real Property, subject to this Lease, Landlord will transfer the Security Deposit to the purchaser, and Landlord will be considered 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 this will apply to every transfer or assignment made of the Security Deposit to a new landlord. Provided Tenant is not in default, the Security Deposit (less any portions of it previously used, applied or retained by Landlord), will be returned to Tenant after the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease and delivery of the entire Premises to Landlord in accordance with the provisions of this Lease. Tenant will not assign, pledge or otherwise encumber the Security Deposit, and Landlord will not be bound by any such assignment, pledge or encumbrance.
14. RIGHT TO CURE TENANTS BREACH:
If Tenant breaches any covenant or condition of this Lease, Landlord may, on prior notice to Tenant (except that no notice need be given in case of emergency), cure such breach at the expense of Tenant, and the reasonable amount of all expenses, including attorneys fees, incurred by Landlord in so doing (whether paid by Landlord or not) will be deemed payable on demand as Additional Rent.
15. LIENS:
Tenant will not permit any lien or other encumbrance to be filed as a result of any act or omission (or alleged act or omission) of Tenant. Tenant will, within ten (10) days after notice from Landlord, discharge or satisfy by bonding or otherwise any liens filed against Landlord or all or any portion of the Real Property as a result of any such act or omission, including any lien or encumbrance arising from contract or tort claims.
16. RIGHT TO INSPECT AND REPAIR:
Landlord or its designees may enter the Premises (but will not be obligated to do so) at any reasonable time on reasonable notice to Tenant (except that no notice need be given in case of emergency) for the purpose of: (i) inspection; (ii) performance of any work or the making of such repairs, replacements or additions in, to, on and about the Premises or the Building, as Landlord deems necessary or desirable; or (iii) showing the Premises to prospective purchasers, mortgagees and tenants. Tenant will provide Landlord or its designees free and unfettered access to any mechanical or utility rooms, conduits, risers or the like located within the Premises. Landlord or any prospective tenant shall have the right to enter the space to perform inspections, surveys, measurements or such other reasonable activities as may be necessary to prepare the Premises for occupancy by the succeeding tenant. Tenant will have no claims, including claims for interruption of Tenants business, or cause of action against Landlord by reason of entry for such purposes.
17. SERVICES TO BE PROVIDED BY LANDLORD:
a) Landlord will furnish to the Premises (i) electricity for normal lighting and ordinary office machines, (ii) during Building Hours, HVAC required for the reasonable use and occupancy of the Premises, and (iii) janitorial service (as set forth in Exhibit D), all in a manner comparable to that of similar buildings in the area. In addition, Landlord shall provide Common Facilities lighting at the Real Property during Building Hours and for such additional hours as, in Landlords judgment, is necessary or desirable to insure proper operation of the Real Property.
b) Tenant will be entitled to make use of HVAC beyond the Building Hours, at Tenants sole cost and expense, provided Tenant has notified Landlord by 3:00 p.m. on the day that Tenant will require said overtime use if said overtime use is required on any weekday, and by 3:00 p.m. on Friday for Saturday and/or Sunday overtime use. Tenant will pay Landlord the HVAC After Hours Charge (as defined in the Basic Lease Provisions) for HVAC beyond the Building Hours.
18. TENANTS ESTOPPEL:
Tenant will, from time to time, on not less than ten (10) days prior written request by Landlord, execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord an estoppel certificate containing such information as Landlord may reasonably request.
19. HOLDOVER TENANCY:
Tenant agrees that it must surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord on the Expiration Date or earlier termination of the Term. Tenant agrees to indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from and against all liabilities, obligations, damages, penalties, claims, costs, charges and expenses, including attorneys fees, resulting from any delay by Tenant in so surrendering the Premises, including any claims made by any succeeding tenant based on such delay. Tenant agrees that if possession of the Premises is not surrendered to Landlord on the Expiration Date or earlier termination of the Term, then Tenant agrees to pay Landlord as liquidated damages for each month and for any portion of a month during which Tenant holds over in the Premises after the Expiration Date or earlier termination of the Term, a sum equal to 200% of the average Fixed Basic Rent and Additional Rent which was payable per month under this Lease during the last three months of the Term. Such liquidated damages shall not limit Tenants indemnification obligation with respect to claims made by any succeeding tenant based on Tenants failure or refusal to surrender the Premises to Landlord on the Expiration Date or sooner termination of the Term. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize Tenant to remain in occupancy of the Premises after the Expiration Date or sooner termination of the Term.
20. LANDLORDS WORK; COMMENCEMENT:
a) Landlord agrees that, prior to the Commencement Date, Landlord will perform work in the Premises in accordance with Exhibit C of this Lease (the Work).
b) A satisfactory inspection of the Work by the applicable governmental authority allowing the Premises to be legally occupied, which may be later evidenced by a (temporary or final) Certificate of Occupancy (although the date of issuance may be other than the Commencement Date), will constitute sufficient evidence to demonstrate that Landlord has performed the Work and the Term has commenced.
c) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to the contrary, if Tenant (or anyone having rights under or through Tenant) shall occupy all or any part of the Premises prior to the date Landlord has completed the Work, then the Commencement Date shall be deemed to occur on such date that Tenant (or anyone claiming under or through Tenant) shall occupy all or any part of the Premises.
d) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to the contrary, if Landlord, for any reason whatsoever cannot deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant on the Commencement Date set forth in the Basic Lease Provisions, this Lease will not be void or voidable, nor will Landlord be liable to Tenant for any loss or damage resulting therefrom, but in that event, the Term will commence on the earlier of: (i) the date Landlord delivers possession of the Premises to Tenant or (ii) the date Landlord would have delivered possession of the Premises to Tenant but for any reason attributable to Tenant.
e) Upon request by Landlord, Tenant agrees to memorialize the Commencement Date and Expiration Date in writing and ratify and confirm said Commencement and Expiration Date by completing and signing a Commencement Date Agreement attached
hereto as Exhibit F, in the form of an amendment to this Lease, no later than thirty (30) days following Landlords request therefor.
21. OVERDUE RENT CHARGE/INTEREST:
a) Tenant will pay an Overdue Rent Charge of eight percent (8%) of any installment of Fixed Basic Rent or Additional Rent which Tenant fails to pay within five (5) days after the due date thereof, to cover the extra expense involved in handling non-payments and/or delinquent payments. The Overdue Rent Charge will constitute Additional Rent and an agreed upon amount of liquidated damages and not a penalty.
b) Any amount owed by Tenant to Landlord which is not paid when due will bear interest at the lesser of (i) the rate of two percent (2%) per month from the due date of such amount, or (ii) maximum legal interest rate permitted by law. The payment of interest on such amounts will not extend the due date of any amount owed.
22. INSURANCE:
a) Tenants Insurance. On or before the Commencement Date or Tenants prior entry into the Premises, Tenant will obtain and have in full force and effect, insurance coverage as follows:
(i) workers compensation in an amount required by law; (ii) commercial general liability with a per occurrence limit of Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000) and a general aggregate of Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) for bodily injury and property damage on an occurrence basis and containing an endorsement naming Landlord, Mack-Cali Realty, L.P., Mack-Cali Realty Corporation, their respective affiliates, subsidiaries, agents, designees and lender, if any, as additional insureds, an aggregate limit per location endorsement, and no modification that would make Tenants policy excess or contributing with Landlords liability insurance; (iii) all risk property insurance for the full replacement value of all of Tenants furniture, fixtures, equipment, alterations, improvements or additions that do not become Landlords property upon installation; and (iv) any other form or forms of insurance or any increase in the limits of any of the coverages described above or other forms of insurance as Landlord or the mortgagees or ground lessors (if any) of Landlord may reasonably require from time to time if in the reasonable opinion of Landlord or said mortgagees or ground lessors said coverage and/or limits become inadequate or less than that commonly maintained by prudent tenants with similar uses in similar buildings in the area. All policies obtained by Tenant will be issued by carriers having ratings in Bests Insurance Guide (Best) of A and VIII, or better (or equivalent rating by a comparable rating agency if Best no longer exists) and licensed in the State. The general liability policies must be endorsed to be primary and noncontributing with the policies of Landlord being excess, secondary and noncontributing and shall contain an endorsement stating no policy will be canceled, nonrenewed or materially modified without thirty (30) days prior written notice by the insurance carrier to Landlord (the Cancellation Endorsement). If the forms of policies, endorsements, certificates, or evidence of insurance required by this Article are superseded or discontinued, Landlord may require other equivalent or better forms.
Evidence of the insurance coverage required to be maintained by Tenant, represented by certificates of insurance issued by the insurance carrier, must be furnished to Landlord prior to Tenant occupying the Premises and at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of current policies. Copies of all endorsements required by this Article must accompany the certificates delivered to Landlord. The certificates will state the amounts of all deductibles and self-insured retentions and the Cancellation Endorsement. If requested in writing by Landlord, Tenant will provide to Landlord a certified copy of any or all insurance policies or endorsements required by this Article.
b) Tenant will not do or allow anything to be done on the Premises which will increase the rate of fire insurance on the Building from that of a general office building. If any use of the Premises by Tenant results in an increase in the fire insurance rate(s) for the Building, Tenant will pay Landlord, as Additional Rent, any resulting increase in premiums. Tenants insurance obligations set forth in Section 22 a) (i) and (ii) above shall continue in effect throughout the Term and after the Term as long as Tenant, or anyone claiming by, through or under Tenant, occupies all or any part of the Premises.
c) Waiver of Claims. Landlord and Tenant hereby waive all claims and release each other and each others employees, agents, customers and invitees from any and all liability for any loss, damage or injury to property occurring in, on, about or to the Premises or the Building by reason of fire or other casualty, regardless of cause, including the negligence of Landlord or Tenant and their respective employees, agents, customers and invitees, and agree that the property insurance carried by either of them will contain a clause whereby the insurer waives its right of subrogation against the other party. Each party to this Lease will give to its insurance company notice of the provisions of this Section 22 c) and have such insurance policies properly endorsed, if necessary, to prevent the invalidation of such insurance by reason of the provisions of this Section c). Each party shall bear the risk of its own deductibles. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that the insurance requirements of this Lease reflect their mutual recognition and agreement that each party will look to its own insurance and that each can best insure against loss to its property and business no matter what the cause. If Tenant fails to maintain insurance or self insures for loss including, without limitation, business interruption, Tenant shall be deemed to have released Landlord for all loss or damage which would have been covered if Tenant had so insured.
d) Building Insurance. Landlord will at all times during the Term carry a policy of insurance which insures the Building, including the Premises and the Work, if any, against loss or damage by fire or other casualty (namely, the perils against which insurance is afforded by a standard fire insurance policy); provided, however, that Landlord will not be responsible for, and will not be obligated to insure against, any loss of or damage to any personal property or trade fixtures of Tenant or any alterations which Tenant may make to the Premises or any loss
suffered by Tenant due to business interruption. All insurance maintained by Landlord pursuant to this Article may be effected by blanket insurance policies.
23. INDEMNITY:
Tenant will defend, indemnify and hold Landlord, Mack-Cali Realty, L.P., Mack-Cali Realty Corporation and their respective affiliates, subsidiaries, designees and agents (Landlords Parties) harmless from and against any and all claims, actions or proceedings, costs, expenses and liabilities, including attorneys fees and disbursements incurred in connection with each such claim, action or proceeding, whether in contract or tort, arising from Tenants use and occupancy of the Premises, including Tenants negligent acts or omissions at the Real Property. In case any action or proceeding be brought against Landlords Parties by reason of any such claim, Tenant, upon notice from any of Landlords Parties, will, at Tenants expense, resist and defend such action or proceeding with counsel acceptable to Landlords Parties.
24. BROKER:
Tenant represents and warrants to the Landlord that no broker brought about this transaction, except Tenants Broker and Tenant agrees to indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from any and all claims of any broker(s) (other than Tenants Broker) arising out of or in connection with the negotiations of or entering into of this Lease by Tenant and Landlord.
25. PERSONAL LIABILITY:
There will be no personal liability on the part of Landlord, its constituent members (including officers, directors, partners, members and trustees) and their respective successors and assigns or any mortgagee in possession, with respect to any of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease, and Tenant will look solely to the equity of Landlord in the Building for the satisfaction of each and every remedy of Tenant in the event of any breach by Landlord of any of the terms of this Lease to be performed by Landlord, such exculpation of liability to be absolute and without any exceptions whatsoever.
26. 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 or (iii) sent by nationally recognized overnight delivery service, if to Tenant, at the Building; if to Landlord, at Landlords address as set forth above to the attention of Chief Executive Officer, with a copy to the attention of the Chief Legal Officer; or, to either at such other address as Tenant or Landlord, respectively, may designate in writing. Notice shall be deemed to have been duly given, if delivered personally, on delivery thereof, if mailed, upon the seventh (7th) day after the mailing thereof or if sent by overnight delivery service, the next business day.
27. AUTHORITY:
The signatories on behalf of Tenant represent and warrant that they are authorized to execute this Lease, and if Tenant is a corporation or other Entity, Tenant will, within fifteen (15) days of Landlords request, provide Landlord with a resolution confirming the authorization. Tenant represents and warrants to Landlord (i) that neither Tenant nor any person or entity that directly owns a ten percent (10%) or greater equity interest in Tenant nor any of its officers, directors or managing members (collectively, Tenant and Others in Interest) is a person or entity with whom U.S. persons or entities are restricted from doing business under regulations of the Office of Foreign Asset Control (OFAC) of the Department of the Treasury (including those named on OFACs Specially Designated and Blocked Persons List) or under any statute, executive order (including Executive Order 13224 signed on September 24, 2001 (the Executive Order) and entitled Blocking Property and Prohibiting Transactions with Persons Who Commit, Threaten to Commit, or Support Terrorism), or other governmental action, (ii) that Tenant and Others in Interests activities do not violate the International Money Laundering Abatement and Financial Anti-Terrorism Act of 2001 or the regulations or orders promulgated thereunder (as amended from time to time, the Money Laundering Act), and (iii) that throughout the Term Tenant will comply with the Executive Order and the Money Laundering Act.
28. PARKING SPACES
Tenants occupancy of the Premises will include the use of the parking spaces set forth in the Basic Lease Provisions. Tenant will, upon request, promptly furnish to Landlord the license numbers of the cars operated by Tenant and its subtenants, invitees, concessionaires, licensees and their respective officers, agents and employees. If any vehicle of Tenant, or of any subtenant, invitee, licensee, concessionaire, or their respective officers, agents or employees, is parked in any part of the Real Property other than those portions of the parking area(s) designated for this purpose by Landlord, or if Tenant shall exceed the number of parking spaces allocated to Tenant in the Basic Lease Provisions, then, in addition to Landlords rights and remedies provided in this Lease, Tenant will pay to Landlord $100.00 per day.
29. RELOCATION:
Landlord, at its expense, at any time before or during the Term, may relocate Tenant from the Premises to space of reasonably comparable size, utility and improvements (Relocation Space) within the Building or business park of which the Building is a part upon sixty (60) days prior notice to Tenant. From and after the date of the relocation, the Fixed Basic Rent and Tenants Percentage will be adjusted based upon the gross rentable area of the Relocation Space; but in no event will the Fixed Basic Rent or Tenants Percentage increase as a result of such relocation. Landlord will pay Tenant the actual, reasonable out of pocket moving costs incurred by Tenant in connection with such relocation. Landlord will have no liability for any interference with Tenants business resulting from such relocation.
30. MISCELLANEOUS:
a) If any of the provisions of this Lease, or the application of such provisions, will be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Lease will not be affected, and this Lease will be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.
b) The submission of this Lease for examination does not constitute a reservation of, or option for, the Premises, and this Lease is submitted to Tenant for signature with the understanding that it will not bind Landlord unless and until it has been executed by Landlord and delivered to Tenant or Tenants attorney or agent and until the holder of any mortgage will have unconditionally approved this Lease, to the satisfaction of Landlord, if such approval is required under the terms of such mortgage.
c) No representations or promises will be binding on the parties to this Lease except those representations and promises expressly contained in the Lease.
d) The article headings in this Lease are intended for convenience only and will not be taken into consideration in any construction or interpretation of this Lease or any of its provisions.
e) Force Majeure means and includes those situations beyond either partys reasonable control, including acts of God; strikes; inclement weather; or, where applicable, the passage of time while waiting for an adjustment of insurance proceeds. Any time limits required to be met by either party hereunder, whether specifically made subject to Force Majeure or not, except those related to the surrender of the Premises by the end of the Term or payment of Fixed Basic Rent or Additional Rent, will, unless specifically stated to the contrary elsewhere in this Lease, be automatically extended by the number of days by which any required performance is delayed due to Force Majeure.
f) Tenant consents to the receipt of electronic messages from Landlord or its affiliates.
g) No payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount than the Fixed Basic Rent and Additional Rent payable hereunder will be deemed to be other than a payment on account of the earliest stipulated Fixed Basic Rent and Additional Rent, nor will any endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment of Fixed Basic Rent or Additional Rent be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlords right to recover the balance of such Fixed Basic Rent and Additional Rent or to pursue any other remedy provided herein or by law. All obligations of Tenant under this Lease shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
h) No failure by either party to insist upon the strict performance of any covenant, agreement, term or condition of this Lease, or to exercise any right or remedy upon a breach of any such covenant, agreement, term or condition, and no acceptance by Landlord of full or partial rent during the continuance of any such breach by Tenant, will constitute a waiver of any such breach or of such covenant, agreement, term or condition.
No consent or waiver, express or implied, by either party to or of any breach of any covenant, condition or duty of the other party will be construed as a consent or waiver to or of any other breach of the same or any other covenant, condition or duty, unless such consent or waiver is in writing and signed by the party granting such consent or waiver.
i) Landlord covenants that if, and so long as, Tenant pays Fixed Basic Rent and any Additional Rent as required under this Lease, and performs Tenants other covenants under the Lease, Landlord will do nothing to affect Tenants right to peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy the Premises for the Term, subject to the provisions of this Lease.
j) The provisions of this Lease will apply to, bind and inure to the benefit of Landlord and its respective heirs, successors, legal representatives and assigns. The term Landlord as used in this Lease means only the owner or a master lessee of the Building, so that in the event of any sale of the Building or of any master lease thereof, the Landlord named herein will be and hereby is entirely freed and relieved of all covenants and obligations of Landlord under this Lease accruing after such sale, and it will be deemed without further agreement that the purchaser or the new master lessee of the Building has assumed and agreed to carry out any and all covenants and obligations of Landlord accruing under this Lease after such sale.
k) Landlord reserves the right unilaterally to alter Tenants ingress and egress to the Building or make any change in operating conditions to restrict pedestrian, vehicular or delivery ingress and egress to a particular location, or at any time close temporarily any Common Facilities to make repairs or changes therein or to effect construction, repairs or changes within the Building, or to discourage non-tenant parking, and may do such other acts in and to the Common Facilities as in Landlords sole judgment may be desirable to improve their convenience.
l) 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. This Lease will be governed by the laws of the State (without the application of any conflict of laws principles), and any action or proceeding in connection with this Lease shall be decided in the courts of the State.
m) Tenant agrees not to disclose the terms, covenants, conditions or other facts with respect to this Lease, including the Fixed Basic Rent and Additional Rent, to any person, corporation, partnership, association, newspaper, periodical or other entity, except to Tenants accountants or attorneys (who shall also be required to keep the terms of this Lease confidential) or as required by law. This non-disclosure and confidentiality agreement will be binding upon Tenant without limitation as to time, and a breach of this paragraph will constitute a material breach under this Lease. In addition, Tenants employees, contractors, etc. shall keep any of the terms and conditions of this Lease, including any billing statements and/or any backup supporting those statements, confidential.
n) Any State statutory provisions dealing with termination rights due to casualty, condemnation, delivery of possession or any other matter dealt with by this Lease are superseded by the terms of this Lease.
o) Whenever it is provided that Landlord will not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay consent or approval or will exercise its judgment reasonably (such consent or approval and such exercise of judgment being collectively referred to as consent), if Landlord delays, conditions or refuses such consent, Tenant waives any claim for money damages (including any claim for money damages by way of setoff, counterclaim or defense) based upon any claim or assertion that Landlord unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed consent. Tenants sole remedy will be specific performance. Failure on the part of Tenant to seek relief within 30 days after the date upon which Landlord has withheld, conditioned or delayed its consent will be deemed a waiver of any right to dispute the reasonableness of such withholding, conditioning or delaying of consent.
p) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, in no event will Landlord or Tenant be liable to the other for the payment of consequential, punitive or speculative damages, except as provided in Article 19 hereof.
31. RENEWAL OPTION
(a) If the term of this Lease shall then be in full force and effect and Tenant has complied fully with its obligations hereunder, Tenant shall have the option to extend the term of this Lease for a period of five (5) years (the Renewal Term) commencing on the day immediately following the Expiration Date, provided however that Tenant shall give Landlord notice of Tenants election to extend the term no earlier than fifteen (15) months prior to the Expiration Date nor later than twelve (12) months prior to the Expiration Date of the term, TIME BEING OF THE ESSENCE in connection with the exercise of Tenants option pursuant to this Article.
(b) Such extension of the term of this Lease shall be upon the same covenants and conditions, as herein set forth except for the Fixed Basic Rent (which shall be determined in the manner set forth below), and except that Tenant shall have no further right to extend the term of this Lease after the exercise of the single option described in paragraph (a) of this Section. If Tenant shall duly give notice of its election to extend the term of this Lease, the Renewal Term shall be added to and become a part of the Term of this Lease (but shall not be considered a part of the initial Term), and any reference in this Lease to the Term of this Lease, the Term hereof, or any similar expression shall be deemed to include such Renewal Term, and, in addition, the term Expiration Date shall thereafter mean the last day of such Renewal Term. Landlord shall have no obligation to perform any alteration or preparatory or other work in and to the Premises or provide a tenant improvement allowance and Tenant shall continue possession thereof in its as is condition.
(c) If Tenant exercises its option for the Renewal Term, the Fixed Basic Rent during the Renewal Term shall be the fair market rent for the Premises, as hereinafter defined.
(d) Landlord and Tenant shall use commercially reasonable efforts, within thirty (30) days after Landlord receives Tenants notice of its election to extend the Term of this Lease for the Renewal Term (Negotiation Period), to agree upon the Fixed Basic Rent to be paid by Tenant during the Renewal Term. If Landlord and Tenant shall agree upon the Fixed Basic Rent for the Renewal Term, the parties shall promptly execute an amendment to this Lease stating the Fixed Basic Rent for the Renewal Term.
(e) If the parties are unable to agree on the Fixed Basic Rent for the Renewal Term during the Negotiation Period, then within fifteen (15) days after notice from the other party, given after expiration of the Negotiation Period, each party, at its cost and upon notice to the other party, shall appoint a person to act as an appraiser hereunder, to determine the fair market rent for the Premises for the Renewal Term. Each such person shall be a real estate broker or appraiser with at least ten years active commercial real estate appraisal or brokerage experience (involving the leasing of office space as agent for both landlords and tenants) in the Morris County, NJ. If a party does not appoint a person to act as an appraiser within said fifteen (15) day period, the person appointed by the other party shall be the sole appraiser and shall determine the aforesaid fair market rent. Each notice containing the name of a person to act as appraiser shall contain also the persons address. Before proceeding to establish the fair market rent, the appraisers shall subscribe and swear to an oath fairly and impartially to determine such rent.
If the two appraisers are appointed by the parties as stated in the immediately preceding paragraph, they shall meet promptly and attempt to determine the fair market rent. If they are unable to agree within forty-five (45) days after the appointment of the second appraiser, they shall attempt to select a third person meeting the qualifications stated in the immediately preceding paragraph within fifteen (15) days after the last day the two appraisers are given to determine the fair market rent. If they are unable to agree on the third person to act as appraiser within said fifteen (15) day period, the third person shall be appointed by the American Arbitration Association (the Association), upon the application of Landlord or Tenant to the office of the Association nearest the Building. The person appointed to act as appraiser by the Association shall be required to meet the qualifications stated in the immediately preceding paragraph. Each of the parties shall bear fifty percent (50%) of the cost of appointing the third person and of paying the third persons fees. The third person, however selected, shall be required to take an oath similar to that described above.
The three appraisers shall meet and determine the fair market rent. A decision in which two of the three appraisers concur shall be binding and conclusive upon the parties. In deciding the dispute, the appraisers shall act in accordance with the rules then in force of the Association, subject however, to such limitations as may be placed on them by the provisions of this Lease.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Fixed Basic Rent during the Renewal Term be less than the Fixed Basic Rent during the last year of the Term of this Lease immediately preceding the Renewal Term.
(f) After the fair market rent for the Renewal Term has been determined by the appraiser or appraisers and the appraiser or appraisers shall have notified the parties, at the request of either party, both parties shall execute and deliver to each other an amendment of this Lease stating the Fixed Basic Rent for the Renewal Term.
(g) If the Fixed Basic Rent for the Renewal Term has not been agreed to or established prior to the commencement of the Renewal Term, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord an annual rent (Temporary Rent) which Temporary Rent shall be equal to two hundred percent (200%) of the Fixed Basic Rent payable by Tenant for the last year of the Term immediately preceding the Renewal Term. Thereafter, if the parties shall agree upon a Fixed Basic Rent, or the Fixed Basic Rent shall be established upon the determination of the fair market rent by the appraiser or appraisers, at a rate at variance with the Temporary Rent (i) if such Fixed Basic Rent is greater than the Temporary Rent, Tenant shall promptly pay to Landlord the difference between the Fixed Basic Rent determined by agreement or the appraisal process and the Temporary Rent, or (ii) if such Fixed Basic Rent is less than the Temporary Rent, Landlord shall credit to Tenants subsequent monthly installments of Fixed Basic Rent the difference between the Temporary Rent and the Fixed Basic Rent determined by agreement or the appraisal process.
(h) In describing the fair market rent during the Renewal Term, the appraiser or appraisers shall be required to take into account the rentals at which lease renewals are then being concluded (as of the last day of the Term) (for five (5) year leases without renewal options with the landlord and tenant each acting prudently, with knowledge and for self-interest, and assuming that neither is under undue duress) for comparable space in the Building and in comparable office buildings in the Morris County, NJ.
(i) The option granted to Tenant under this Article 31 may be exercised only by Tenant, its permitted successors and assigns, and not by any subtenant or any successor to the interest of Tenant by reason of any action under the Bankruptcy Code, or by any public officer, custodian, receiver, United States Trustee, trustee or liquidator of Tenant or substantially all of Tenants property. Tenant shall have no right to exercise this option subsequent to the date Landlord shall have the right to give the notice of termination referred to in Article 10 of the Lease unless Tenant cures the default within the applicable grace period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have no right to extend the term if, at the time it gives notice of its election (i) Tenant shall not be in occupancy of substantially all of the Premises or (ii) the Premises (or any part thereof) shall be the subject of a sublease. If Tenant shall have elected to extend the term, such election shall be (at Landlords sole option) deemed withdrawn if, at any time after the giving of notice of such election and prior to the commencement of the Renewal Term, Tenant shall sublease (all or any portion of) the Premises or assign Tenants interest in this Lease.
EACH PARTY AGREES that it will not raise or assert as a defense to any obligation under this Lease, or make any claim that this Lease is invalid or unenforceable, due to any failure of this document to comply with ministerial requirements, including requirements for corporate seals, attestations, witnesses, notarizations or other similar requirements, and each party hereby waives the right to assert any such defense or make any claim of invalidity or unenforceability due to any of the foregoing.
This Lease may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which, when assembled to include an original signature for each party contemplated to sign this Lease, will constitute a complete and fully executed original. All such fully executed counterparts will collectively constitute a single Lease agreement. Tenant expressly agrees that if the signature of Landlord and/or Tenant on this Lease is not an original, but is a digital, mechanical or electronic reproduction (such as, but not limited to, a photocopy, fax, e-mail, PDF, Adobe image, JPEG, telegram, telex or telecopy), then such digital, mechanical or electronic reproduction shall be as enforceable, valid and binding as, and the legal equivalent to, an authentic and traditional ink-on-paper original wet signature penned manually by its signatory.

1. Landlords architect has prepared the following architectural and mechanical drawings and specifications based upon the sketch layout supplied to Landlord by Tenant.
a. Architectural drawings and specifications for Tenants partition layout, reflected ceiling, placement of electrical outlets and other installations for the work to be done by Landlord.

Building Standard will mean the type and grade of material, equipment and/or device designated by Landlord as standard for the Building. All items are Building Standard unless otherwise noted.
4. Landlord has estimated the cost of the Work based upon the layout submitted to Landlord by Tenant. Against such estimated cost, Landlord will credit an allowance of SIX HUNDRED SEVEN THOUSAND FOUR HUNDRED AND 00/100 DOLLARS ($607,400.00), (Landlords Allowance) and the remaining balance, if any, will be deemed Additional Rent and paid by Tenant as follows: (i) fifty percent (50%) upon Tenants execution and delivery of this Lease and (ii) fifty percent (50%) upon the earlier of: (i) Landlords substantial completion of the Work or (ii) Tenants occupancy of the Premises. Landlords cost of the Work shall include Landlords overhead and general conditions.

5. All low partitioning, workstation modules, bank screen partitions and prefabricated partition systems will be furnished and installed by Tenant at its expense.
6. The installation or wiring of telephone and computer (data) outlets is not part of the Work. Tenant will bear the responsibility to provide its own telephone and data systems at Tenants sole cost and expense.
7. Changes in the Work, if necessary or requested by the Tenant, will be accomplished after the execution of the Lease and this Workletter, and without invalidating any part of the Lease or Workletter, by written agreement between Landlord and Tenant (referred to as a Change Order).

a. The scope of the change in the Work; and
b. The cost of the change; and

If Tenant fails to approve any such Change Order within one (1) week, it will be deemed disapproved in all respects by Tenant, and Landlord will not be authorized to proceed on it. Any increase in the cost of the Work or the change in the Work stated in a Change Order which results from Tenants failure to timely approve and return said Change Order will be paid by Tenant. Tenant agrees to pay Landlord the cost of any Change Order upon receipt of an invoice for the Change Order.
8. If Tenant elects to use the architect suggested by Landlord, this architect becomes solely the Tenants agent with respect to the plans, specifications and the Work. If any change is made after completion of schematic drawings and prior to completion of final construction documents which result in a Change Order and additional costs, such costs will be the responsibility of the Tenant.

10. The terms contained in the Lease (which includes all Exhibits to the Lease) constitute Landlords agreement with Tenant with respect to the Work.
11. Except as set forth in the last sentence of this paragraph, all Work within the Premises will become the property of Landlord upon installation.

It is agreed that notwithstanding the date provided in the Basic Lease Provisions for the Commencement Date, the term will not commence until the earlier of (i) the date Tenant (or anyone claiming under or through Tenant) occupies all or any part of the Premises or (ii) the date Landlord has substantially completed the Work; provided, however, that if Landlord is delayed in substantially completing the Work as a result of:
a. Tenants failure to approve the plans and specifications in accordance with Paragraph 2 of this Workletter;
b. Tenants failure to furnish interior finish specifications (i.e., paint colors, carpet selection, etc.) to Landlord by the fifth (5th) business day after Tenant has approved the plans and specifications pursuant to Paragraph 2;

13. Landlord will permit Tenant and its agents to enter, as licensees only, the Premises prior to the Commencement Date so that Tenant may perform through its own contractors such other work and decorations as Tenant may desire at the same time Landlords contractors are working in the Premises. The foregoing license to enter prior to the Commencement Date, however, is conditioned upon:
a. Tenants general contractors, workmen and mechanics working in harmony and not interfering with the labor employed by Landlord, Landlords mechanics or contractors or by any other tenant or occupant of the Building or their general contractors, mechanics or contractors, if any;
b. Tenant providing Landlord with evidence of Tenants contractors and subcontractors carrying such workers compensation insurance as required by law, commercial general liability and property insurance in amounts no less than the amounts set forth in Article 22 a) of the Lease.

Such entry will be deemed controlled by all of the terms, covenants, provisions and conditions of the Lease. Landlord will not be liable in any way for any injury, loss or damage which may occur to any of Tenants decorations or installations made prior to the Commencement Date, the same being solely at Tenants risk; and
c. Tenant will use union contractors if required by Landlord.
14. No part of the Premises will be deemed unavailable for occupancy by Tenant, nor will any work which the Landlord is obligated to perform in such part of the Premises be deemed incomplete for the purpose of any adjustment of Fixed Basic Rent payable under the Lease, if minor details of construction, decoration or mechanical adjustments exist
and the non-completion of such details does not materially interfere with the Tenants use of such part of the Premises.
15. If construction is to occur in a space occupied by Tenants employees, Tenant will be liable for all costs associated with a delay, if Tenant fails to comply with a submitted construction schedule to relocate personnel, furniture or equipment. These costs will include, but not be limited to, the following:
a. cost of construction workers time wasted;
b. cost of any overtime work necessary to meet schedule deadlines; and
c. any other costs associated with delays in final completion.
16. This Workletter is based on the materials and layouts set forth or referenced in the Workletter. Any change to the materials and layout will require a recalculation of construction costs and any increases in costs shall be Tenants responsibility. Such recalculation will not negate any other Article of this Lease.

TAX AND OPERATING COST RIDER
Tenant will pay in addition to the Fixed Basic Rent provided in this Lease, Additional Rent to cover Tenants Percentage of the increased cost to Landlord, for each of the categories enumerated in this Exhibit, over the Base Period Costs for these categories.
a. Operating Cost Escalation If the Operating Costs incurred for the Real Property for any Lease Year or Partial Lease Year during the Term will be greater than the Base Operating Costs (reduced proportionately to correspond to the duration of periods less than a Lease Year), then Tenant will pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, Tenants Percentage of all such excess Operating Costs. Operating Costs will include, by way of illustration and not of limitation: personal property taxes; management fees; labor, including all wages and salaries; social security and other taxes which may be levied against Landlord upon such wages and salaries; supplies; repairs and maintenance; maintenance and service contracts; painting; wall and window washing; tools and equipment (which are not required to be capitalized for federal income tax purposes); trash removal; lawn care; snow removal; fire casualty, property damage, liability and other insurance costs, together with any deductibles, incurred by Landlord in connection with its operation of the Building and the Real Property and all other items properly constituting direct operating costs according to standard accounting practices (collectively referred to as the Operating Costs in this Lease); but not including depreciation of Building or equipment; interest; income or excess profits taxes; costs of maintaining the Landlords corporate existence; franchise taxes; any expenditures required to be capitalized for federal income tax purposes, unless said expenditures are for the purpose of reducing Operating Costs at the Real Property, or those which under generally applied real estate practice are expensed or regarded as deferred expenses or are required under any Legal Requirement, in which event the costs thereof shall be included. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, any additional costs incurred by Landlord during the Calendar Year by reason of Landlord or any of its vendors entering into new labor contracts or renewals or modifications of existing labor contracts will not be included in Base Operating Costs. In addition, Tenant will pay Landlord Tenants Percentage of all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with complying with any homeland security requirements and such costs and expenses will not be included in Operating Costs.
b. Fuel, Utilities and Electric Cost Escalation If 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, including 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 other portions of the Real Property (collectively referred to in this Lease as Utility and Energy Costs), for any Lease Year or Partial Lease Year during the Term will be greater than the Base Utility and Energy Costs (reduced proportionately to correspond to the duration of periods less than a Lease Year), then Tenant will pay to
Landlord as Additional Rent, Tenants Percentage of all such excess Utility and Energy Costs.
c. Tax Escalation If the Real Estate Taxes for the Real Property for any Lease Year or Partial Lease Year during the Lease Term will be greater than the Base Real Estate Taxes (reduced proportionately to correspond to the duration of periods less than a Lease Year), then Tenant will pay to Landlord as Additional Rent, Tenants Percentage of all such excess Real Estate Taxes.
As used in this Lease, Real Estate Taxes mean the property taxes and assessments imposed upon the Building and other portions of the Real Property, or upon the rent payable to the Landlord, 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 Real Property by any 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 will be levied against Landlord 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 will be deemed to be a Real Estate Tax for purposes of this Lease.
Landlord, will have the exclusive right, but not the obligation, to contest or appeal any Real Estate Tax assessment levied on all or any part of the Real Property.
d. Lease Year As used in this Lease, Lease Year will mean a calendar year. Any portion of the Term which is less than a Lease Year, 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, will be deemed a Partial Lease Year. Any reference in this Lease to a Lease Year will, 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 Prior to each Lease Year, Landlord will give Tenant an estimate of amounts payable under this Rider for such Lease Year or Partial Lease Year. By the first day of each month during such Lease Year or Partial Lease Year, Tenant will pay Landlord one-twelfth (1/12th) of the estimated amount. If, however, the estimate is not given before such Lease Year or Partial Lease Year begins, Tenant will continue to pay by the first day of each month on the basis of last years estimate, if any, until the month after the new estimate is given. As soon as practicable after each Lease Year or Partial Lease Year ends, Landlord will give Tenant a statement (the Statement) showing the actual amounts payable by Tenant under this Rider for such Lease Year. If the Statement shows that the actual amount Tenant owes for such Lease Year or Partial Lease Year is less than the estimated amount paid by Tenant during such Lease Year or Partial Lease Year, Landlord, at its option, will either return the difference or credit the difference against the next succeeding payment(s) of Additional Rent. If the Statement shows that the actual amount Tenant owes is more than the estimated Additional Rent paid by Tenant during such Lease Year or Partial Lease Year, Tenant will pay the difference within thirty (30) days after the Statement is delivered to Tenant.
f. Books and Reports Landlord will maintain books of account which, provided that Tenant has not breached this Lease, will be open to Tenant and its representatives at all reasonable times so that Tenant can determine that such Operating, Utility and Energy, and Real Estate Tax Costs have, in fact, been paid or incurred. Tenants representatives will mean only (i) Tenants employees or (ii) a Certified Public Accounting firm, and neither Tenants employees nor any Certified Public Accounting firm will be permitted to perform such inspection and/or audit on a contingency basis or for any other tenant in the Building. At Landlords request, Tenant and/or Tenants Certified Public Accounting firm will execute a confidentiality agreement reasonably acceptable to Landlord prior to any examination of Landlords books and records. In the event Tenant disputes any one or more of such charges, Tenant will attempt to resolve such dispute with Landlord, provided that if such dispute is not satisfactorily settled between Landlord and Tenant within thirty (30) days, then upon request of either party, the dispute will be referred to an independent certified public accountant to be mutually agreed upon to arbitrate the dispute, 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 will jointly share any cost of such arbitration. Pending resolution of the dispute, the Tenant will pay to Landlord the sum so billed by Landlord, subject to its ultimate resolution as set forth above. The arbitration mechanism set forth above shall be the sole process available to resolve such disputes.
g. Right of Review Once Landlord will have finally determined the Operating, Utility and Energy or Real Estate Tax Costs at the expiration of a Lease Year, then as to the item so established, Tenant will only be entitled to dispute such charge for a period of six (6) months after such charge is billed to Tenant, and Tenant specifically waives any right to dispute any such charge any time after the expiration of said six (6) month period.
h. Occupancy Adjustment If the Building is less than eighty-five percent (85%) occupied during the Calendar Year or during any Lease Year or Partial Lease Year subsequent to the Calendar Year, then the Operating Costs will be adjusted during the Calendar Year and the Operating Costs and Utility and Energy Costs will be adjusted during any such Lease Year or Partial Lease Year so as to reflect eighty-five percent (85%) occupancy. The aforesaid adjustment will only be made with respect to those items that are in fact affected by variations in occupancy levels.
i. The parties agree that Tenants Percentage, as defined in the Basic Lease Provisions, reflects and will be continually adjusted to reflect the ratio of the gross square feet of the area rented to Tenant (including an allocable share of all Common 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 Real Property) [the denominator] measured outside wall to outside wall, but excluding therefrom any storage areas. Landlord shall have the right to make changes or revisions in the Common Facilities of the Building so as to provide additional leasing area. Landlord shall also have the right to construct additional buildings in the Real Property for such purposes as Landlord may deem appropriate, and subdivide the lands for that purpose if necessary, and upon so doing, the Real Property shall become the subdivided lot on which the
Building in which the Premises is located. However, if any service provided for in subparagraph a. 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 Tenants proportionate share for such service and/or utility shall be separately computed, and the Base Period Costs for such item shall not include any charges attributable to said square footage. Tenant 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%).

EXHIBIT H
ELECTRICITY RIDER
ELECTRICITY: The cost of electric current which is supplied by Landlord for use by Tenant in the Premises, other than for heating or air conditioning purposes, will be reimbursed to Landlord at the Electric Rate. The Electric Rate will mean the Service Classification pursuant to which Tenant would purchase electricity directly from the utility company servicing the Premises, provided, however, at no time shall the amount payable by Tenant for electricity be less than Landlords cost, and provided further that in any event, the Electric Rate shall include all applicable surcharges, and demand, energy, losses, fuel adjustment and time of day charges (if any), taxes, and administrative and other sums payable in respect thereof.
a. From and after the Commencement Date, Tenant agrees to pay as Additional Rent an estimated electrical charge of $.15 per gross rentable 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 subparagraph b. below.
b. Landlord will have an electrical engineering consultant make a survey of the electric power used in the Premises to determine Tenants average monthly electric consumption, and the costs of such survey will be borne by Tenant. The findings of the consultant will be conclusive and binding on Landlord and Tenant. After Landlords consultant has submitted its report, Tenant will pay to Landlord, within ten (10) days after demand therefor by Landlord, the amount (based on the average monthly consumption found by such consultant and applying the Electric Rate thereto) owing from the Commencement Date through and including the then current month, adjusted for the estimated electrical charges already paid, and thereafter, on the first day of every month, in advance, the cost of the electricity used in the Premises based on the amount set forth as the average monthly consumption in the report. Such costs will constitute Additional Rent due under the Lease. Proportionate sums will be payable for periods less than a full month.
c. In the event that there will be an increase or decrease in the Electric Rate, the Additional Rent payable for electricity will be adjusted equitably to reflect the increase or decrease in the Electric Rate.
d. Tenant will notify Landlord immediately upon the introduction of any office equipment or lighting materially different from or in addition to that on the Premises as of Landlords electrical survey. The introduction of any new or materially different equipment or lighting will, at Landlords election, be cause for a resurveying of the Premises at Tenants expense. Landlord reserves the right to inspect the Premises to insure compliance with this provision.
e. Landlord will not be liable in any way to Tenant for any loss, damage or expense which Tenant 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 Exhibit H, nor for any interruption in the supply, and Tenant agrees that such supply may be
interrupted for inspections, repairs and replacements and in emergencies. In no event will Landlord be liable for any business interruption suffered by Tenant.
f. Landlord, at Tenants expense, will furnish and install all replacement lighting tubes, lamps, ballasts, starters and bulbs required in the Premises.
g. Tenants use of electrical service in excess of Building Hours will, at Landlords election, be cause for a resurveying of the Premises at Tenants expense.
