WITNESSETH:

ARTICLE 1

DEMISED PREMISES; TERM; RENT

1.01. In consideration of the terms, conditions, and agreements set forth in this Lease, and for good and valuable consideration the sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Landlord hereby agrees to lease to Tenant, and Tenant hereby hires from Landlord, the Demised Premises, for the Term, for the rents hereinafter reserved and upon and subject to the terms, conditions (including limitations, restrictions and reservations) and covenants hereinafter provided, all of which are regarded as strict legal conditions. Each Party hereby expressly covenants and agrees to observe and perform all of the conditions and covenants herein contained on its part to be observed and performed.

1.02. Landlord and Tenant have mutually agreed and stipulated that the Demised Premises leased hereunder has a rentable area of 36,602 square feet. Said Premises, together with all fixtures and equipment, which at the commencement or during the term of this Lease are thereto attached (except items not deemed to be included therein and removable by Tenant as provided in Article 13), shall constitute the Demised Premises.

1.03. The Term of this Lease, for which the Demised Premises are hereby leased, shall commence on the Commencement Date and, subject to Tenant’s renewal rights as set forth herein, shall end at 5:00 P.M. on the last day of the calendar month immediately preceding the ten (10) year anniversary of the Rent Commencement Date, which ending date is hereinafter called the “Expiration Date”, or shall end on such earlier date upon which said Term may expire or be canceled or terminated pursuant to any of the provisions of this Lease or pursuant to law. Promptly following the Commencement Date, but in no event more than five (5) business days later, Landlord and Tenant shall execute and acknowledge a memorandum, which shall be prepared and circulated by Landlord, in a form and substance which are reasonably satisfactory to Tenant, confirming the Commencement Date, the Rent Commencement Date and the Expiration Date; provided, however, failure to execute and deliver such memorandum shall not affect the validity of the Commencement Date, the Rent Commencement Date or the Expiration Date as herein set forth.

1.04. The rents reserved under this Lease (collectively the “Rent”), for the Term thereof, shall be and consist of:

(a) Fixed Base Rent in the amounts set forth in the Preamble, which shall be payable in monthly installments, as above described, on the first day of each and every calendar month during the Term commencing on the Rent Commencement Date (except as otherwise set forth in Section 1.06); and

(b) Additional Rent consisting of all such other sums of money as shall become due from and payable by Tenant to Landlord hereunder (for default in payment of which Landlord shall have the same remedies as for a default in payment of fixed rent), all to be paid to

Landlord at its office, or such other place, or to such agent at such place, as Landlord may designate by notice to Tenant, in lawful money of the United States of America.

1.05. Tenant shall pay the Fixed Base Rent and Additional Rent as herein reserved promptly as and when the same shall become due and payable, pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Lease, without further demand therefor, and without any rights of abatement, deduction, counterclaim or setoff whatsoever except as otherwise expressly set forth herein.

1.06. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Tenant shall pay upon the execution and delivery of this Lease an amount equal to the sum of (i) the Security Deposit and (ii) one (1) month’s Fixed Base Rent. If the Rent Commencement Date is on the first day of a month, such payment of Fixed Base Rent shall be credited against the first full monthly installment of Fixed Base Rent due and payable under this Lease. If the Rent Commencement Date is not on the first day of a month, then on the Rent Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay prorated Fixed Based Rent for the period from the Rent Commencement Date through the last day of such month (both dates inclusive) and the payment of Fixed Base Rent made by Tenant upon the execution and delivery of this Lease shall be credited toward Fixed Base Rent for the next succeeding calendar month.

1.07. Any payment of Rent, including monthly Fixed Base Rent or any portion thereof, and any Additional Rent, which is not received within five (5) business days after it is due (any such period to be referred to as a “Grace Period”), will be subject to a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of the unpaid amount. However, not more than once in each calendar year, if applicable, Tenant may have an additional five (5) business day period after the Grace Period (any such additional period to be referred to as a “Second Grace Period”) before any late payment of Rent is subject to the late charge in the preceding sentence. The late charge, if assessed, will be compensation for Landlord’s additional cost of processing late payments. In addition, any Rent which is not paid within thirty (30) days after it is due, including monthly Fixed Base Rent, will accrue interest at a rate equal to the Prime Rate as defined herein plus five percent (5%) per annum, from the date on which it was due until the date on which it is paid in full with accrued interest. If Tenant is in default of this Lease for failure to pay Rent, in addition to the late charges and interest set forth above, Tenant shall be charged with and responsible for payment of all reasonable attorney fees incurred by Landlord in connection with the collection of all sums due Landlord.

ARTICLE 2

USE

2.01. Tenant shall use and occupy the Demised Premises for the Permitted Use and for no other purpose.

2.02. Tenant shall not at any time use or occupy, or do or permit anything to be done in the Demised Premises, in violation of any law, ordinance or regulation governing the use and occupation of the Demised Premises or the Building.

2.03. In no event shall the population density in the Demised Premises exceed one (1) person for every two hundred (200) rentable square feet, or such lesser amount as may be required by the certificate of occupancy for the Building.

ARTICLE 3

BASE BUILDING WORK

3.01. Landlord shall be responsible for constructing, performing and installing, at its sole cost and expense, (a) all of the work and furnishing all of the items and materials identified on the attached Exhibit A; (b) the new Building curtain wall system in accordance with the specifications set forth on the attached Exhibit A; (c) certain upgrades, supplements, and additions to the HVAC system in the Building described in the proposal from Hollister Construction Services set forth in the attached Exhibit A (collectively the “Supplemental HVAC Work”); and (d) certain parking lot and other base building improvements more fully described on attached Exhibit A (collectively such improvements referenced in clauses (a) - (d) are referred to as the “Base Building Work”). All Base Building Work shall be performed on an “open shop” basis. The Base Building Work shall be completed in a workmanlike manner, consistent with the attached Exhibit A, and will be Substantially Completed on or before the Required Delivery Date, it being agreed that Tenant shall have no right to require any changes to the Base Building Work after the execution and delivery of this Lease by Tenant and Landlord, except for insubstantial changes to the Supplemental HVAC Work and any associated or related changes to any Building systems made on or before April 28, 2016 as a result of the refining of the existing plans and specifications for the Supplemental HVAC Work. Without limitation, the Base Building Work shall include Landlord delivering the Building and Premises compliant with all applicable local and federal laws, ordinances and governmental regulations, including without limitation the Americans with Disabilities Act and all other local access ordinances, use and occupancy ordinances, environmental regulations and fire codes. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary, it is the intent of Landlord and Tenant that, other than typical, routine, or usual demolition costs, no unusual or extraordinary costs will need to be incurred by Tenant in order to prepare the Premises prior to construction of the Tenant Improvements, such as by example, and not limitation: asbestos or hazardous substance abatement or removal, cabling removal and the like (collectively “Extraordinary Prep Costs”). Landlord shall be responsible for all Extraordinary Prep Costs, and for promptly and in a workmanlike manner performing any work in connection therewith, all of which shall thereafter be considered part of the Base Building Work.

3.02. The Base Building Work includes the restrooms within the Demised Premises in accordance with the standards set forth in the plans for the Base Building Work. Tenant has requested, and Landlord has agreed, to use certain dividers in the restrooms (the “Upgraded Partitions”) which constitute an upgrade over the metal partitions otherwise contemplated in the plans for the Base Building Work (the “Standard Partitions”). Tenant shall be obligated to pay the difference in cost between the Standard Partitions and the Upgraded Partitions (the “Partition Upgrade Costs”). Tenant shall pay the Partition Upgrade Costs within ten (10) business days after its receipt of an invoice therefor from Landlord together with documentation or other evidence of the Partition Upgrade Costs reasonably acceptable to Tenant. If Tenant fails

to pay the Partition Upgrade Costs in full, then the Tenant Improvement Allowance shall be reduced by the amount of the Partition Upgrade Costs that Tenant fails to pay.

3.03. The Base Building Work includes upgrades, supplements, and additions to the Building’s HVAC system and other related systems with the Building in accordance with the proposal set forth in the plans for the Base Building Work. Tenant has requested that Landlord certify that certain U-values will be met by the Building when the Base Building Work and all other related construction activities have concluded in order to insure that the Building’s HVAC system will properly and efficiently function as intended in the Demised Premises. As such, Landlord hereby covenants and promises that at the completion of the Base Building Work and all other related construction activities, the Building will have the following U-values:

Curtain Wall Glass U-value: summertime – .26; wintertime – .28

Curtain Wall Glass Solar Heat Gain: .27

Wall U-value: 0.051

Roof U-value: 0.045

3.04. All Base Building work shall be done in a good and workmanlike manner and shall comply at the time of completion with all applicable laws and requirements of the governmental authorities having jurisdiction.

3.05. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, Tenant hereby agrees to pay for two-thirds (2/3) of the total cost of the Supplemental HVAC Work (“Tenant’s Supplemental HVAC Contribution”). Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that, as of the date of this Lease, the Supplemental HVAC Work is anticipated to cost approximately One Hundred Fifty-Seven Thousand Dollars ($157,000). Tenant’s Supplemental HVAC Contribution shall be paid for by reducing the amount of the Tenant Improvement Allowance by an amount equal to Tenant’s Supplemental HVAC Contribution. Promptly following the completion of the Supplemental HVAC Work, Landlord and Tenant shall enter into an agreement (or an amendment to this Lease), in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to both parties, memorializing the total cost of the Supplemental HVAC Work and the resulting reduction in the amount of the Tenant Improvement Allowance; provided, however, the failure to execute and deliver such agreement or amendment shall not impair Landlord’s ability to reduce the Tenant Improvement Allowance by an amount equal to Tenant’s Supplemental HVAC Contribution.

ARTICLE 4

TENANT IMPROVEMENTS

4.01. By no later than April 14, 2016 (the “CD Due Date”), Tenant shall prepare and deliver to Landlord a complete set of architectural and engineering construction documents (the “TI Construction Documents”) delineating and detailing all of the renovations, alterations and improvements to the Demised Premises to be performed by Landlord prior to the delivery of the Demised Premises to Tenant hereunder (the “Tenant Improvements”). The date upon which

the TI Construction Drawings are actually delivered to Landlord with the CD Delivery Conditions having been satisfied shall be referred to as the “CD Delivery Date”. For the avoidance of doubt, the Tenant Improvements do not include the Base Building Work, nor shall it include any data wiring and cabling or any of Tenant’s furniture or equipment. Tenant shall not make any material modifications to the TI Construction Documents after the CD Delivery Date, except that Tenant shall be permitted to provide additional or supplemental architectural and engineering construction documents related to the Supplemental HVAC Work and any associated or related changes to any Building systems to Landlord on, or before, April 28, 2016. Tenant shall be responsible for ensuring that the TI Construction Documents (i) comply with all applicable laws, building codes and ordinances, (ii) do not require Landlord to obtain any approvals from any planning or zoning board, (iii) do not require any modifications to the Base Building Work (unless previously approved in writing by Landlord), and (iv) are in a form sufficient for Landlord to apply for and receive construction permits and, upon the issuance thereof, construct the Tenant Improvements (collectively, the “CD Delivery Conditions”). Tenant and its architect may select any materials and parts it chooses for the Tenant Improvements; provided, however, that if any materials and/or parts selected by Tenant or its architect cannot be delivered on-time for installation in accordance with the project schedule for the Tenant Improvements maintained by Landlord’s contractor and if waiting for the delivery of such materials and/or parts will result in an aggregate delay of more than three (3) days in the completion of the Tenant Improvements (including the inability to complete other work comprising part of the Tenant Improvements as a result of the delay in delivery of such materials and/or parts) (“Long Lead-Time Items”), then Landlord may deliver written notice of same to Tenant’s construction representative, and if Tenant’s construction representative fails to designate suitable replacements that do not constitute Long Lead-Time Items within three (3) business days after delivery of such written notice, then Landlord’s contractor shall have the right to select replacements for such Long Lead-Time Items. If any such replacements selected by Landlord’s contractor are unacceptable to Tenant, then (a) Landlord shall cause its contractor to use the Long Lead-Time Items requested by Tenant, (b) the Required Delivery Date shall be postponed, and the Rent Commencement Date shall be accelerated, by one (1) day for each day of delay in the completion of the Tenant Improvements resulting from the use of such Long Lead-Time Items, and (c) Tenant shall be responsible for the payment of any additional mobilization costs incurred as a result of using the Long Lead-Time Items required by Tenant. Landlord will (and will cause its contractor to) cooperate with Tenant’s construction representative to provide alternatives for any Long Lead-Time Items that are compatible with Tenant’s design intent and budget.

4.02. Following the CD Delivery Date, Landlord shall promptly and after a brief review period, immediately file and apply for all necessary building and construction permits with the local municipality and agencies as applicable and shall make all reasonable efforts to expedite issuance of all required building and constructions permits. Landlord shall thereafter have until the date that is one hundred eighty (180) days after the CD Delivery Date (the “Required Delivery Date”) to deliver the Demised Premises to Tenant in the Delivery Condition; provided, however, that if the municipality in which the Property is located fails to issue building permits for the Tenant Improvements within forty-five (45) days after Landlord’s submission of an application for such permits despite Landlord’s commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such

building permits, then the Required Delivery Date shall be postponed by one (1) day for each day after the expiration of such 45-day period until the building permits for the Tenant Improvements are issued. If the Actual Delivery Date does not occur on or before the Required Delivery Date (except if and to the extent such failure results from the delay of, or interference by, Tenant or any of its employees, agents or contractors, in which event Section 4.04 shall apply), then Tenant shall be entitled to an abatement of Fixed Base Rent equal to one (1) day of Fixed Base Rent for each day after the Required Delivery Date that Landlord fails to deliver the Demised Premises to Tenant in the Delivery Condition, up to and including the thirtieth (30th) day after the Required Delivery Date, and two (2) days of Fixed Base Rent for each day beyond the thirtieth (30th) day after the Required Delivery Date that Landlord does not deliver the Demised Premises to Tenant in the Delivery Condition. Any such rent abatement shall be applied as of the Rent Commencement Date and shall not result in an extension of the Term. If the Actual Delivery Date does not occur by the date that is one hundred twenty (120) days after the Required Delivery Date (the “Outside Delivery Date”), then Tenant in its sole and absolute discretion shall have the right to terminate this Lease upon written notice to Landlord, and upon delivery of such notice this Lease shall terminate and be deemed null and void and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder. If Tenant fails to terminate this Lease within five (5) business days after the Outside Delivery Date (the “Termination Deadline”) as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, then Landlord shall be given an additional sixty (60) days after the Termination Deadline to deliver the Demised Premises to Tenant in the Delivery Condition, and until the expiration of such 60-day period this Lease shall remain in full force and effect and Tenant shall continue to receive an abatement of Fixed Base Rent equal to two (2) days of Fixed Base Rent for each day until the Actual Delivery Date, but Tenant shall have no right to terminate this Lease pursuant to this Section 4.02 during such 60-day period. If the Actual Delivery Date does not occur within such 60-day period, then Tenant shall have the right at any time thereafter (until the Actual Delivery Date, at which time such right shall automatically expire) to terminate this Lease upon written notice to Landlord, and upon delivery of such notice this Lease shall terminate and be deemed null and void and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder.

4.03. Tenant shall not be responsible for any removals and/or restorations of any items related to or concerning the Tenant Improvements, nor shall Tenant be responsible for removing any IT Systems installed immediately following the completion of the Tenant Improvements. Landlord reserves the right to notify Tenant of any removal and restoration of any improvements to the Demised Premises, other than the Tenant Improvements and the IT Systems, for which Tenant shall be responsible (including any Tenant Changes, as hereinafter defined) upon the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease, provided that Tenant shall only be obligated to remove such improvements and restore the damage caused by such removal if Landlord notifies Tenant that such improvements must be removed upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease within sixty (60) days after Tenant’s delivery to Landlord of written notice that such improvements have been completed. For purposes of this Section 4.03, “IT Systems” means any equipment comprising Tenant’s voice, data and security systems, including associated outlets, wires, wiring trays and other equipment, materials and facilities, whether located in the ceiling, floor and/or walls, that in any way relate, pertain to, constitute or are connected with Tenant’s

voice, data and/or security systems, regardless of whether Landlord or Tenant installed and/or paid for the installation of such systems.

4.04. If Tenant fails to deliver the TI Construction Documents to Landlord on or before the CD Due Date with the CD Delivery Conditions satisfied in accordance with Section 4.01, then the Rent Commencement Date shall be accelerated by one (1) day for each day after the CD Due Date until the date such TI Construction Documents are provided to Landlord. If the Substantial Completion of the Tenant Improvements or the Base Building Work shall be delayed by any act or omission of Tenant or any of its employees, agents or contractors (other than failure to deliver the TI Construction Documents to Landlord by the CD Due Date), including the presentation of any change order requests submitted by Tenant to Landlord following the CD Delivery Date, then for all purposes the Tenant Improvements and the Base Building Work shall be deemed as Substantially Completed on the date when they would have been Substantially Completed but for such delay. Tenant delays shall include the failure of Tenant’s architect to respond to municipal building department questions within three (3) business days.

4.05. Within ten (10) business days after the Actual Delivery Date, Landlord, Tenant and Landlord’s general contractor, the project architect, and the project manager together shall inspect the Demised Premises and prepare a list of Punch List Items (the “Punch List”). Within thirty (30) days after preparation of the Punch List, Landlord shall install, complete, repair or otherwise remedy all of the Punch List Items set forth on the Punch List, it being understood and agreed that Tenant shall not be “double-charged” for any Punch List work (i.e., work that should have been performed as part of the Tenant Improvements and was included in the Tenant Improvement Costs (as hereinafter defined) but either was not performed or was not properly performed), but Tenant shall be responsible for the payment (subject to offset against the Tenant Improvement Allowance if not previously exhausted) of all costs incurred by Landlord for Punch List work requested by Tenant to the extent such work falls outside of the original scope of the Tenant Improvements (as reflected in the TI Construction Documents). During the period following the preparation of the Punch List and prior to the Commencement Date, Tenant shall have the right to enter upon the Demised Premises, subject to all of the terms and conditions hereof (other than the obligation to pay Fixed Base Rent or Additional Rent) for the purposes of installation of its telephone, data and computer wiring and furniture, fixtures and equipment (the “Pre-Commencement Installations”), provided that Tenant and its contractors shall not interfere with the completion of any Punch List Items by Landlord or its contractors. If such interference shall occur, the Parties shall amicably seek to resolve their differences, but in the event that they are unable to do so, Landlord shall have the right to order Tenant and its contractors to leave the Demised Premises temporarily until the Punch List Items are completed and Tenant and its contractors can resume their work. Tenant shall be responsible for repairing all damage to the Demised Premises (or any other portions of the Building) caused by Tenant or its contractors or subcontractors in connection with the Pre-Commencement Installations.

4.06. Landlord will warrant the Tenant Improvements against defective or non-conforming work for a period of twelve (12) months after the Substantial Completion thereof (the “Warranty Period”). During the Warranty Period, Landlord at its sole cost will repair or replace any defective work comprising a part of the Tenant Improvements, or any work that does not substantially conform to the TI Construction Documents, upon its receipt of written notice

from Tenant detailing the circumstances that exist which cause such work to be defective or non-conforming. The cost incurred by Landlord in performing any such repairs or replacements shall not be included in Operating Expenses (as hereinafter defined), nor shall they otherwise be payable by Tenant.

4.07. Subject to Sections 3.02 and 3.05, Landlord shall pay toward the Tenant Improvements the sum of Two Million One Hundred Four Thousand Six Hundred Fifteen Dollars ($2,104,615), calculated based upon an allowance of $57.50 per rentable square foot, or such lesser amount as may actually be expended by Landlord and Tenant (the “Tenant Improvement Allowance”). The Tenant Improvement Allowance may be utilized for the architectural and engineering costs incurred in designing the Tenant Improvements, the “hard costs” (i.e., labor, materials and equipment) of constructing the Tenant Improvements (collectively, the “Tenant Improvement Costs”), and for cabling and wiring costs associated with Tenant’s planned use of the Demised Premises. Tenant shall be responsible for the excess Tenant Improvement Costs, if any, above the Tenant Improvement Allowance, but only after Landlord has paid sums in connection with the Tenant Improvements equal to the entire amount of the Tenant Improvement Allowance. If the Tenant Improvement Costs exceed the Tenant Improvement Allowance, and provided Landlord has expended the entire amount of the Tenant Improvement Allowance, then Landlord may send invoices to Tenant on a monthly basis for any excess Tenant Improvement Costs and Tenant shall pay any excess Tenant Improvement Costs within ten (10) business days after its receipt of an invoice therefor from Landlord together with a certification from Landlord that the work for which Tenant is paying the excess Tenant Improvement Costs has been completed. For the avoidance of doubt, the Tenant Improvement Costs shall include all construction permit fees and a supervisory fee payable to Landlord equal to three percent (3%) of the total hard costs of the Tenant Improvements (which supervisory fee shall be in addition to any overhead, general conditions, profit and the like payable to Landlord’s contractor as part of the Tenant Improvement Costs). If the Tenant Improvement Allowance is not fully expended by Landlord in connection with the construction of the Tenant Improvements, Tenant shall have no right to receive all or any portion of the remaining balance of the Tenant Improvement Allowance.

4.08. Landlord and Tenant agree that the Tenant Improvement work will be performed by Hollister Construction Services (the “General Contractor”) on a lump sum basis pursuant to a construction contract between Landlord and the General Contractor under which (i) the fee to the General Contractor shall not exceed three percent (3%) of the total cost of the Tenant Improvements (inclusive of general conditions) and (ii) the general conditions line item shall not exceed the sum of One Hundred Forty-Four Thousand Seven Hundred Dollars ($144,700) plus the cost to obtain commercial general liability insurance in connection with the Tenant Improvements. The General Contractor shall be charged with bidding out all subcontractor work under the supervision of a construction representative designated by Tenant and a construction representative designated by Landlord, each of whom shall be permitted to participate in the evaluation of the subcontractor bids, provided that in the event of a disagreement between such representatives the determination of the Landlord’s representative shall control. The General Contractor shall be required to obtain and provide for review by the construction representatives at least three (3) competitive subcontractor bids for each major trade (defined for this purpose as any trade costing in excess of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) in the aggregate) utilized for the

Tenant Improvements. Further, due to Tenant’s receipt of Tax Credits (as defined in Article 33.01), Landlord and Tenant agree that the Tenant Improvements will be constructed using prevailing wage labor.

4.09. All Tenant Improvement work shall be done in a good and workmanlike manner and shall comply at the time of completion with all applicable laws and requirements of the governmental authorities having jurisdiction.

ARTICLE 5

5.01. For the purpose of Sections 5.01 through 5.03:

(a) “Taxes” shall mean real estate taxes, and assessments, general or special, ordinary or extraordinary, foreseen or unforeseen (including lease taxes) assessed or imposed upon the Property, plus the expenses of any contests (administrative or otherwise) of tax assessments or proceedings to reduce taxes, including attorneys’ and appraisers’ fees, incurred each calendar year during the Term (and any renewals or extensions thereof) including, without limit, the first calendar year during which the Term of this Lease shall have commenced. However, if at any time during the term of this Lease the method of taxation prevailing at the date of this Lease shall be altered so that in lieu of, or as an addition to, or as a substitute for any or all of the above there shall be assessed, levied or imposed (i) a tax, assessment, levy, imposition or charge based on the income or rents received therefrom whether or not wholly or partially as a capital levy or otherwise; or (ii) a tax, assessment, levy, imposition or charge measured by or based in whole or in part upon all or any part of the Land and/or Building and imposed upon Landlord; or (iii) a license fee measured by the rents; or (iv) any other tax, assessment, levy, imposition, charge or license fee however described or imposed, then all such taxes, assessments, levies, impositions, charges or license fees or the part thereof so measured or based shall be deemed to be included in the definition of “Taxes.”

(b) “Base Taxes” shall mean the Taxes imposed upon the Property for the calendar year 2016, increased by (i) the additional Taxes resulting from an added assessment or omitted assessment imposed by the tax assessor of the Township of West Windsor (the “Municipality”) as a result of the completion of the Base Building Work and the Tenant Improvements, and (ii) the additional Taxes resulting from all other added assessment or omitted assessment imposed by the Municipality as a result of the completion of any tenant improvements for any of the currently vacant office space on the first and/or second floors of the Building until such time as the Building first reaches ninety-five percent (95%) occupancy. For the avoidance of doubt, Base Taxes shall not be increased in connection with any increase in Taxes after calendar year 2016 resulting from (x) a revaluation or reassessment applicable throughout the Municipality, (y) any increases in the Municipality’s tax rate, or (z) an added assessment or omitted assessment by the Municipality as a result of the completion of any improvements to the Building or any space within the Building imposed subsequently to when the Building has reached ninety-five percent (95%) occupancy for the first time.

(d) “Operating Year” shall mean each calendar year commencing with calendar year 2017.

(e) “Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Increase” shall mean Tenant’s Percentage multiplied by the increase in Taxes in any Operating Year in excess of the Base Taxes.

(f) “Tenant’s Projected Share of Increase” shall mean Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Increase in Taxes as reasonably estimated by Landlord for the ensuing Operating Year divided by twelve (12) and payable monthly by Tenant to Landlord as Additional Rent.

Commencing on the one (1) year anniversary of the Commencement Date, and thereafter, upon each successive Operating Year, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as Additional Rent for the then Operating Year, Tenant’s Projected Share of Increase in Taxes in equal monthly installments; provided, however, that Tenant shall not be required to pay Tenant’s Projected Share of Increase for any period prior to the first (1st) anniversary of the Commencement Date.

5.03. Within one hundred fifty (150) days after the expiration of each Operating Year, Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a written statement of the Taxes incurred for each such Operating Year as well as Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Increase, if any. If the statement furnished by Landlord to Tenant pursuant to this Section shall indicate that Tenant’s Projected Share of Increase exceeded Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Increase, then Landlord shall either forthwith pay the amount of such excess directly to Tenant concurrently with the statement, or shall credit the same against Tenant’s next owed monthly installment of rent within ten days thereafter. If such statement furnished by Landlord to Tenant shall indicate that the Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Increase exceeded Tenant’s Projected Share of Increase for the then Operating Year, Tenant shall then pay the amount of such excess to Landlord within thirty (30) days; provided, however, that Tenant shall not be required to pay Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Increase for any period prior to the first (1st) anniversary of the Commencement Date. If Landlord has not provided Tenant a written statement for Tenant’s Projected Share of Increase as of the commencement of any Operating Year, Tenant shall be obligated to continue to pay additional rent each month at the same rate as reflected in the previous Operating Year’s estimate furnished by Landlord until such time as Landlord has sent the statement for the current Operating Year, whereupon appropriate adjustments will be made.

5.04. As used in Sections 5.04 through 5.06:

(a) “Operating Expenses” shall mean the actual expenses and costs incurred by Landlord in connection with the operating and maintaining the Property (including without limit, all improvements thereto) during each Operating Year.

The amount included in Operating Expenses in any Operating Year (until such improvement has been fully amortized) shall be equal to the annual amortized amount. If Landlord shall have leased any such items of capital equipment designed to result in savings or reductions in Operating Costs, then the rental and other costs paid pursuant to such leasing shall be included in Operating Costs for the Operating Year in which they shall have been incurred.

For purposes of Operating Expenses the Base Year shall be adjusted to reflect a ninety-five percent (95%) occupied Building and shall be inclusive of all Operating Expense line items reasonably anticipated in the Building during the twelve (12) month period following the Commencement Date.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following costs and expenses shall not be included in Operating Expenses:

5.06. After the expiration of the first Operating Year and after the expiration of each Operating Year thereafter, Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a commercially reasonable written detailed statement of the Operating Expenses incurred for such Operating Year which statement shall set forth Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Increase, if any. If the statement furnished by Landlord to Tenant, pursuant to this Section, at the end of the then Operating Year shall indicate that Tenant’s Projected Share of Increase exceeded Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Increase, Landlord shall either forthwith pay the amount of excess directly to Tenant concurrently with the statement or credit same against Tenant’s next monthly installment of rent within thirty (30) days. If such statement furnished by Landlord to Tenant hereunder shall indicate that the Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Increase exceeded Tenant’s Projected Share of Increase for the then Operating Year, Tenant shall forthwith pay the amount of such excess to Landlord within

thirty (30) days.

5.07. Every statement given by Landlord pursuant to Sections 5.03 and 5.06 shall be conclusive and binding upon Tenant unless (i) within ninety (90) days after the receipt of such statement Tenant shall have given a notice to Landlord that Tenant disputes the correctness of the statement, specifying in reasonable detail the basis for such assertion.

If the inspection shows an undercharge to Tenant, Tenant shall pay the amount due to Landlord within thirty (30) days after completion of the audit. If the audit indicates an overpayment by Tenant, then Tenant shall be entitled at Landlord’s sole option to either (i) to receive a refund from Landlord within thirty (30) days after finalization of such audit, or (ii) a credit in an amount equal to such excess against Rent next becoming due under this Lease.

Tenant recognizes the confidential nature of Landlord’s books and records and agrees to maintain the information obtained from any examination conducted pursuant to this Section 5.07 in strict confidence. In no event shall Landlord profit in the collection of Operating Expenses or Taxes from Tenant over its actual costs for such Operating Expenses or Taxes.

ARTICLE 6

6.01. This Lease shall be subject and subordinate at all times to the lien of any mortgage, deed of trust, ground lease, installment sale agreement and/or other instrument or encumbrance heretofore or hereafter placed upon any or all of Landlord’s interest or estate in the Premises or the remainder of the Property and of all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof (all of which are hereinafter referred to collectively as a “mortgage”), all automatically and without the necessity of any further action on the part of the

Tenant to effectuate such subordination. The Tenant shall, at the request of the holder of any such mortgage, attorn to such holder, and shall execute, enseal, acknowledge and deliver, upon demand by the Landlord or such holder, such further instrument or instruments evidencing such subordination of the Tenant’s right, title and interest under this Lease to the lien of any such mortgage, and such further instrument or instruments evidencing and elaborating such attornment, as shall be reasonably desired by such holder.

(b) Tenant may assign this Lease or sublet the whole or any portion of the Premises, subject to Landlord’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed, on the basis of the following terms and conditions (it being agreed that if the terms of any mortgage loan documents encumbering the Property require the mortgagee of the Property to consent to any sublease or assignment, and the mortgagee of the Property fails or refuses to consent to a proposed sublease or assignment, then Landlord shall not

be deemed to have acted unreasonably in withholding its consent to such sublease or assignment):

(1) The Tenant shall provide to Landlord the name and address of the assignee or subtenant.

(2) The assignee shall assume, by written instrument, all of the obligations of this Lease, and a copy of such assumption agreement shall be furnished to Landlord within ten (10) days of its execution. Any sublease shall expressly acknowledge that said subtenant’s rights against the Landlord shall be no greater than those of the Tenant.

(3) The Tenant, each guarantor of Tenant’s obligations hereunder, 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 Base Rent and Additional Rent reserved herein, as and when required to be paid, through the entire Term of this Lease.

As used herein, net consideration and/or net rent shall mean gross rent (Fixed Base and Additional) or gross consideration less any reasonable brokerage or tenant work paid by Tenant in connection with the assignment or sublet, said brokerage or tenant work to be amortized over the term of the assignment or sublet.

(5) In any event, the acceptance by Landlord of any rent (Fixed Base and Additional) from the assignee or from any of the subtenants or the failure of Landlord to insist upon a strict performance of any of the terms, conditions and covenants herein shall not release Tenant herein, nor any assignee assuming this Lease, from any and all of the obligations herein during and for the entire Term of this Lease.

(6) Except for Permitted Transfers, Landlord may require a One Thousand Five Hundred and 00/100 Dollar ($1,500.00) payment to cover its handling charges for each request for consent to any sublet or assignment prior to its consideration of the same.

8.04. Except as specifically set forth above, no portion of the Demised Premises or of Tenant’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 Tenant, nor shall Tenant pledge its interest in this Lease or in any security deposit required hereunder.

(d) Tenant, by its acts or omissions, does not place Landlord or other tenants in jeopardy or subject to any form of penalty or fine; and

(vii) the refusal by Tenant to take possession of the Demised Premises upon completion of the Tenant Improvements or the vacation and abandonment of the Demised Premises by Tenant, permitting the same to remain unoccupied and unattended; or

(viii) if Tenant shall be in violation of the transfer, assignment and/or sublet provisions of this Lease.

24.02. At any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default, Landlord may give written notice to Tenant specifying such Event(s) of Default and stating that this Lease and the Term shall terminate three (3) business days after the giving of such notice, unless Tenant cures the Event of Default. At the expiration of such three (3) business days, if Tenant has not cured the Event of Default, this Lease and the Term and all of the right, title and interest of the Tenant hereunder shall wholly cease, terminate and expire, and Tenant shall quit and surrender the Demised Premises to the Landlord. Notwithstanding such termination, surrender, and the expiration of Tenant's right, title, and interest, Tenant's liability and responsibility under all of the provisions of this Lease (including for the Fixed Base Rent and Additional Rent which subsequently accrues and for all accrued but unpaid Fixed Base Rent and Additional Rent as of the date of the termination) and for damages as provided for, and calculated pursuant to Article 26 shall continue.

ARTICLE 25

LANDLORD’S RIGHT OF RE-ENTRY

25.01. If this Lease shall be terminated pursuant to Section 24.02, or if any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Landlord, or its agents or employees, may re-enter the Demised Premises at any time and remove therefrom Tenant, Tenant's agents, and any subtenants, licensees, concessionaires or invitees, together with any of its or their property, either by summary dispossess proceedings or by any suitable action or proceeding at law. In the event of such termination, Landlord may repossess and enjoy the Demised Premises. Landlord shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of law respecting the speedy recovery of lands and tenements, or proceedings in forcible entry and detainer (to the extent permitted under applicable law). Tenant waives any rights to the service of any notice of Landlord's intention to re-enter provided for by any present or future law, if any. Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant in any way in connection with any action it takes pursuant to the foregoing. Notwithstanding any such re-entry, repossession, dispossession or removal, Tenant's liability and responsibility under all of the provisions of this Lease shall continue. In the event of any termination of this Lease under the provisions of Article 24 or if Landlord shall re-enter the Demised Premises under the provisions of this Article or in the event of the termination of this Lease, or of re-entry, by or under any summary dispossess or other proceeding or action or any provision of law by reason of default hereunder on the part of Tenant, Tenant shall thereupon pay to Landlord the accrued but unpaid Fixed Base Rent and Additional Rent due from Tenant to Landlord up to the time of such termination of this Lease,

or of such recovery of possession of the Demised Premises by Landlord, as the case may be, and shall also pay to Landlord damages as provided in Article 26. This Article 25 shall survive the termination of this Lease.

ARTICLE 26

DAMAGES

26.01. If this Lease is terminated under the provisions of Article 24, or if Landlord shall re-enter the Demised Premises under the provisions of Article 25, or in the event of the termination of this Lease, or of re-entry, by or under any summary dispossess or other proceeding or action of any provision of law by reason of an Event of Default hereunder on the part of Tenant, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in a lump sum, an amount equal to the Fixed Base Rent and Additional Rent payable hereunder which would have been payable by Tenant for the remainder of the Term had this Lease not so terminated, or had Landlord not so re-entered the Demised Premises, discounted to present value at the rate of four percent (4%) per annum; provided, however, that if Landlord shall relet the Demised Premises during said period, Landlord shall credit Tenant with the net rents (including additional rent) received by Landlord from such reletting, such net rents to be determined by first deducting from the gross rents as and when received by Landlord from such reletting, the expenses incurred or paid by Landlord in terminating this Lease or in re-entering the Demised Premises and in securing possession thereof, as well as the expenses of reletting, including altering and preparing the Demised Premises for new tenants, brokers’ commissions, and all other expenses properly chargeable against the Demised Premises and the rental therefrom; it being understood that any such reletting may be for a period shorter or longer than the remaining term of this Lease; but in no event shall Tenant be entitled to receive any excess of such net rents over the sums payable by Tenant to Landlord hereunder, nor shall Tenant be entitled in any suit for the collection of damages pursuant to this Subsection to a credit in respect of any net rents from a reletting, except to the extent that such net rents are actually received by Landlord. If the Demised Premises or any part thereof should be relet in combination with other space, then proper apportionment on a square foot basis shall be made of the rent received from such reletting and of the expenses of reletting.

26.02. Suit or suits for the recovery of such damages, or any installments thereof, may be brought by Landlord from time to time at its election, and nothing contained herein shall be deemed to require Landlord to postpone suit until the date when the term of this Lease would have expired if it had not been so terminated under the provisions of Article 24, or under any provision of law, or had Landlord not re-entered the Demised Premises. Nothing herein contained shall be construed to limit or preclude recovery by Landlord against Tenant of any sums or damages to which, in addition to the damages particularly provided above, Landlord may lawfully be entitled by reason of any Event of Default hereunder on the part of Tenant.

26.03. In addition to the foregoing and without regard to whether this Lease is terminated, if an Event of Default occurs then Tenant shall pay to Landlord upon demand, all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord, including reasonable attorney’s fees, with respect to any lawsuit instituted or any action taken by Landlord to enforce all or any of the provisions of this Lease after such Event of Default.

26.04. If an Event of Default occurs which results in Landlord's recovering possession of the Demised Premises, Landlord shall utilize commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate its damages. Landlord may relet the Demised Premises or any portion thereof for such term or terms (which may be greater or less than the period which would otherwise have constituted the balance of the Term of this Lease) and on such conditions (which may include concessions or free rent and alterations to the Premises) as Landlord, in its commercially reasonable discretion, may determine; provided, however, that Landlord shall be under no obligation whatsoever to (i) prefer the Demised Premises over any other space in the Building or other properties in the geographic area owned by Landlord or its affiliates which is then available or is expected to become available within the following six (6) months; (ii) accept any lease on terms materially less favorable to Landlord than those contained herein; (iii) accept any lease proposal for less than the then current fair rental value of the Demised Premises, as reasonably determined by Landlord; or (iv) accept any lease with a tenant unless such tenant will be obligated to use the Demised Premises for a use that will not detract from, and will maintain, the reputation of the Building, as determined in Landlord’s sole discretion. Landlord shall in no way be responsible or liable for any failure to relet the Demised Premises or any part thereof, or for any failure to collect any rent due upon such reletting. Landlord need not give Tenant notice of reletting prior to such reletting.

26.05. Landlord waives the right to assert any statutory liens against Tenant’s property.

26.06. This Article 26 shall survive the termination of this Lease.

ARTICLE 27

WAIVERS

27.01. Tenant, for Tenant, and on behalf of any and all persons claiming through or under Tenant, including creditors of all kinds, does hereby waive and surrender all right and privilege which they or any of them might have under or by reason of any present or future law, to redeem the Demised Premises or to have a continuance of this Lease for the term hereby demised after being dispossessed or ejected therefrom by process of law or under the terms of this Lease or after the termination of this Lease as herein provided.

27.02. In the event that Tenant is in arrears in payment of fixed rent or additional rent hereunder, Tenant waives Tenant’s right, if any, to designate the items against which any payments made by Tenant are to be credited, and Tenant agrees that Landlord may apply any payments made by Tenant to any items it sees fit, irrespective of and notwithstanding any designation or request by Tenant as to the items against which any such payments shall be credited.

27.03. Landlord and Tenant hereby waive trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim brought by either against the other on any matter whatsoever arising out of or in any way connected with this Lease, the relationship of Landlord and Tenant, Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Demised Premises, including any claim of injury or damage, or any emergency or other statutory remedy with respect thereto.

ARTICLE 28

NO OTHER WAIVERS OR MODIFICATIONS

28.01. The failure of either Party to insist in any one or more instances upon the strict performance of any one or more of the obligations of this Lease, or to exercise any election herein contained, shall not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment for the future of the performance of such one or more obligations of this Lease or of the right to exercise such election, but the same shall continue and remain in full force and effect with respect to any subsequent breach, act, or omission. No executory agreement hereafter made between Landlord and Tenant shall be effective to change, modify, waive, release, discharge, terminate or effect an abandonment of this Lease, in whole or in part, unless such executory agreement is in writing, refers expressly to this Lease and is signed by the Party against whom enforcement of the change, modification, waiver, release, discharge, or termination of effectuation of the abandonment is sought.

ARTICLE 29

CURING TENANT’S DEFAULTS

29.01. If Tenant shall default in the performance of any of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, Landlord, without thereby waiving such default, may (but shall not be obligated to) perform the same for the account and at the expense of Tenant, without notice, in a case of emergency, and in any other case, only if such default continues after the expiration of (i) ten (10) days from the date Landlord gives Tenant notice of its intention to cure, or (ii) the applicable Grace Periods provided for in this Lease for cure of such default, whichever occurs later.

ARTICLE 30

BROKER

30.01. The Parties covenant, warrant, and represent to each other that there was no broker except the Broker instrumental in consummating this Lease and that no conversations or negotiations were had with any broker except Broker concerning the renting of the Demised Premises. Each Party agrees to indemnify and hold the other Party harmless against any claims for a brokerage commission arising out of any conversations or negotiations had by the indemnifying Party with any broker except Broker. Landlord and Tenant hereby warrant to each other that they shall satisfy or resolve any payment owed to their own retained individual broker (one of the two parties identified as Broker) pursuant to a separate agreement or payment arrangement.

ARTICLE 31

NOTICES

31.01. Any notice, statement, demand, or other communications required or permitted to be given, rendered, or made by either party to the other, pursuant to this Lease or pursuant to any

applicable law or requirement of public authority, shall be in writing (whether or not so stated elsewhere in this Lease) and shall be deemed to have been properly given, rendered or made, if sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, addressed to the other Party at the address hereinabove set forth in the opening paragraph of this Lease (except that after the Commencement Date, Tenant’s address, unless Tenant shall give notice to the contrary, shall be the Building) and shall be deemed to have been given, rendered, or made three (3) business days following the date of mailing. Notice may also be given by overnight mail, in which case it shall be deemed received on the first business day after it was sent. Either Party may, by notice as aforesaid, designate a different address or addresses for notices, statements, demands, or other communications intended for it. In the event of the cessation of any mail delivery for any reason, personal delivery shall be substituted for the aforementioned method of serving notices.

ARTICLE 32

ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE

32.01. Both Parties agree that from time to time, and within ten (10) business days after a written request from the other Party, to execute, enseal, acknowledge and deliver to the requesting Party a written instrument certifying that: (1) this Lease is in full force and effect and has not been modified, supplemented or amended in any way (or, if there have been modifications, supplements or amendments thereto, that it is in full force and effect as modified, supplemented or amended and describing such modifications, supplements and amendments) and that this Lease (as modified, supplemented or amended, as aforesaid) represents the entire agreement between Landlord and Tenant as to the Premises and the Property; (2) the dates to which the Fixed Base Rent, Additional Rent and other charges arising under this Lease have been paid, if any; (3) the amount of any prepaid rents or credits due to Tenant, if any; and (4) if applicable, that Tenant has accepted the possession of the Premises and has entered into occupancy of the Premises and the date on which the Rent Commencement Date shall have occurred and the corresponding Expiration Date (stating whether or not to the best knowledge of

the signer of such certificate all conditions under this Lease to be performed by the other Party prior to the Rent Commencement Date have been satisfied and whether or not the other Party is then in default in the performance of any covenant, agreement or condition contained in this Lease and specifying, if any, each such unsatisfied condition and each such default of which the signer may have knowledge); and stating any other fact or certifying any other condition reasonably requested by the other Party or requested by any mortgagee or prospective mortgagee or purchaser of the Property or of any interest therein, and/or any party doing business of any kind with Tenant. It is intended that any statement delivered pursuant to the provisions of this Section be relied upon by any such purchaser, mortgagee, or other related third party.

ARTICLE 33

TENANT’S TAX CREDIT APPLICATION

33.01. Landlord acknowledges Tenant’s intent to apply for a tax credit award (the “Tax Credits”) pursuant to the Grow New Jersey Assistance Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder in connection with Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises. Landlord shall reasonably cooperate with and support Tenant and sign any applications and other documents reasonably requested by Tenant in connection with Tenant’s application for Tax Credits, but shall not be required to pay any fees or otherwise expend more than a de minimis amount of its own funds in connection therewith (other than in connection with the Tenant Improvements and Base Building Work).

ARTICLE 34

REPRESENTATIONS, CONSTRUCTION, GOVERNING LAW

34.01. Tenant expressly acknowledges and agrees that Landlord has not made and is not making, and Tenant, in executing and delivering this Lease, is not relying upon any warranties, representations, promises or statements, except to the extent that the same are expressly set forth in this Lease. It is understood and agreed that all understandings and agreements heretofore had between the parties are merged in this Lease, which alone fully and completely express their agreements and that the same are entered into after full investigation, neither party relying upon any statement or representation not embodied in this Lease made by the other.

34.02. Landlord hereby warrants that its current mortgage lender is Lakeland Bank, and that Landlord has not received written notice of any default that remains uncured under its current mortgage loan documents on the Building.

34.03. Landlord hereby warrants that it has funds available to fund the Tenant Improvements and Base Building Work provided for by this Lease.

34.04. Landlord hereby covenants that as of the Commencement Date, with the exception of any work performed by Tenant or its agents, contractors or representatives after the Actual Delivery Date, the Building will be in compliance with all applicable laws, rules, ordinances, and regulations, including without limitation all zoning, fire, life safety, building

codes, environmental laws, and the Americans with Disabilities Act (as amended) (collectively the “Laws”) and there will be no pending or threatened action against Landlord or the Building relating to any alleged violations of the Laws from any governmental authority or third party.

34.05. Landlord is not aware of the existence of any Hazardous Substances at, on or under the Property that require remediation under any Environmental Laws. For purposes of this subsection: “Hazardous Substances” means any pollutant, toxic substance, hazardous substance, hazardous waste or any similar term as defined in any Environmental Law; and “Environmental Laws” means any Law applicable to Landlord or the Property and relating to environmental matters or concerning pollution or protection of the environment, including Laws governing the use, storage, disposal, discharge, cleanup or reporting of Hazardous Substances.

34.06. Landlord warrants that it holds an exclusive leasehold interest in the Property, and has the full power and authority to enter in to this Lease with Tenant, and that no approval or consent was needed from any third party to enter in to this Lease with Tenant except for approvals or consents that were previously obtained.

34.07. If any of the provisions of this Lease, or the application thereof to any person or circumstances, shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Lease, or the application of such provision or provisions to persons or circumstances other than those as to whom or which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and every provision of this Lease shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

34.08. This Lease shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the State of New Jersey, without regard to any conflict of law principles that might otherwise cause the laws of a different jurisdiction to govern or apply.

34.09. In the event of any litigation, arbitration, or other legal proceedings that may arise between the Parties to enforce any of the provisions of this Lease, or any right of either Party hereunder except for litigation as described in Article 26.03, the prevailing Party shall be entitled to recover its costs, expenses, and reasonable attorneys’ fees in addition to any other relief to which such Party many be entitled. An award for such costs, expenses, and reasonable attorneys’ fees may be included in any judgment rendered in such litigation, arbitration, or other legal proceeding. This paragraph shall survive the termination of this Lease.

ARTICLE 35

SECURITY AND GUARANTY

35.01. Tenant shall deposit with Landlord the Security Deposit upon the execution of this Lease. If no Event of Default has occurred as of the first (1st) anniversary of the Rent Commencement Date, then on such date the Security Deposit shall be reduced to One Hundred Eighty-Seven Thousand Five Hundred Eighty-Five and 24/100 Dollars ($187,585.24). The Security Deposit shall be held by Landlord as security for the faithful performance by Tenant of all the terms of this Lease by said Tenant to be observed and performed. The Security Deposit shall not and may not be mortgaged, assigned, transferred, or encumbered by Tenant, without the

written consent of Landlord, and any such act on the part of Tenant shall be without force and effect and shall not be binding upon Landlord. If any of the fixed or additional rent herein reserved or any other sum payable by Tenant to Landlord shall be overdue and unpaid, or if Landlord makes payment on behalf of Tenant, or if Tenant shall fail to perform any of the terms, covenants, and conditions of this Lease, then Landlord may, at its option and without prejudice to any other remedy which Landlord may have on account thereof, appropriate and apply the entire Security Deposit or so much thereof as may be necessary to compensate Landlord toward the payment of fixed or additional rent and any loss or damage sustained by Landlord due to such breach on the part of Tenant, plus expenses; and Tenant shall forthwith, and within three (3) business days after receipt of demand restore the Security Deposit to the amount on deposit immediately prior to such reduction in the funds. The issuance of a warrant and/or the re-entering of the Demised Premises by Landlord for any default on the part of Tenant or for any other reason prior to the expiration of the term shall not be deemed such a termination of this Lease as to entitle Tenant to the recovery of the Security Deposit. If Tenant complies with all of the terms, covenants, and conditions of this Lease and pays all of the Fixed Base Rent and Additional Rent and all other sums payable by Tenant to Landlord as they fall due, the Security Deposit shall be returned in full to Tenant within thirty (30) days after the expiration of the Term of this Lease and Tenant’s satisfaction of all its obligations accruing prior to this Lease expiration date. In the event of bankruptcy or other creditor-debtor proceedings against Tenant, the Security Deposit and all other securities shall be deemed to be applied first to the payment of fixed and additional rent and other charges due Landlord for all periods prior to the filing of such proceedings. In the event of sale by Landlord of the Building, this Lease and the Security Deposit must be assumed by the transferee and Landlord shall deliver the then balance of the Security Deposit to the transferee of Landlord’s interest in the Demised Premises and Landlord shall thereupon be discharged from any further liability with respect to the Security Deposit and this provision shall also apply to any subsequent transferees. No holder of a superior mortgage to which this Lease is subordinate shall be responsible in connection with the Security Deposit, by way of credit or payment of any fixed or additional rent, or otherwise, unless such mortgagee actually shall have received the entire Security Deposit.

35.02. Notwithstanding anything in Section 35.01 to the contrary, the Security Deposit shall be in the form of a “clean”, unconditional, irrevocable and transferable letter of credit (the “Letter of Credit”) in form and substance satisfactory to Landlord, issued by and drawn on a bank satisfactory to Landlord and which is a member of the New York Clearing House Association, for the account of Landlord, for a term of not less than the Term. If applicable, Tenant shall renew any Letter of Credit from time to time, at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration thereof, and deliver to Landlord a new Letter of Credit or an endorsement to the Letter of Credit, and any other evidence required by Landlord that the Letter of Credit has been renewed for a period of at least one (1) year. If Tenant shall fail to renew the Letter of Credit as aforesaid, Landlord may present the Letter of Credit for payment and retain the proceeds thereof as the Security Deposit in lieu of the Letter of Credit.

35.03. Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Lease, Tenant shall cause Guarantor to execute and deliver to Landlord a full and unconditional joint and several guaranty of Tenant’s payment and performance obligations under this Lease, in the form set forth on Exhibit E attached hereto and made a part hereof. Thereafter, if during the Term any individual

or entity shall acquire (i) fifty percent (50%) or more of the equity interests of Guarantor, Tenant, or any direct or indirect parent company of Tenant, or (ii) all or substantially all of the assets of Guarantor, Tenant, or any direct or indirect parent company of Tenant, then within thirty (30) days after any such acquisition Tenant shall cause such individual or entity to execute and deliver to Landlord a full and unconditional guaranty of Tenant’s payment and performance obligations under this Lease in a form substantially similar to the form attached hereto as Exhibit E.

ARTICLE 36

PARTIES BOUND

36.01. The obligations of this Lease shall bind and benefit the successors and assigns of the Parties with the same effect as if mentioned in each instance where a Party is named or referred to, except that no violation of the provisions of Article 8 shall operate to vest any rights in any successor or assignee of Tenant. However, the obligations of Landlord under this Lease shall not be binding upon Landlord herein named with respect to any period subsequent to the transfer of its interest in the Building as owner and in the event of such a transfer of Landlord’s interest in the Building, said obligations shall thereafter be binding upon each transferee of such interest.

36.02. If Landlord shall be an individual, joint venture, tenancy in common, partnership, trust, unincorporated association, or other unincorporated aggregate of individuals and/or entities or a corporation, Tenant shall look only to such Landlord’s estate and property in the Building and on the Land, and, where expressly so provided in this Lease, to offset against the rents payable under this Lease for the collection of a judgment (or other judicial process) which requires the payment of money by Landlord in the event of any default by Landlord hereunder. No other property or assets of such Landlord shall be subject to levy, execution or other enforcement procedure for the satisfaction of Tenant’s remedies under or with respect to this Lease, the relationship of Landlord and Tenant hereunder, or Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Demised Premises.

36.03 The Parties agrees that, except as otherwise set forth in Article 40, neither Party shall be liable to the other Party for any special, indirect, or consequential damages arising out of a breach of this Lease.

ARTICLE 37

CONSENTS

37.01. Wherever it is specifically provided in this Lease that a Party’s consent is not to be unreasonably withheld, a response to a request for such consent shall also not be unreasonably delayed or conditioned. If either Landlord or Tenant considers that the other had unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned a consent, it shall so notify the other Party within ten (10) days after receipt of notice of denial of the requested consent or, in case notice of denial is not received, within ten (10) days after making its request for the consent, or in the case such requested consent is conditioned, within ten (10) days of receiving notice of such condition.

37.02. Tenant hereby waives any claim for damages against Landlord which it may have based upon any assertion that Landlord has unreasonably withheld or unreasonably delayed any such consent, and Tenant agrees that its sole remedy shall be an action or proceeding to enforce any such provision or for specific performance, injunction or declaratory judgment. The sole remedy for Landlord’s unreasonably withholding, conditioning or delaying of consent shall be as provided in this Article.

ARTICLE 38

MORTGAGE FINANCING - TENANT COOPERATION

38.01. In the event that Landlord desires to seek mortgage financing secured by the Demised Premises or Landlord’s interest therein, Tenant agrees to reasonably cooperate with Landlord in support of Landlord’s application(s) by delivery to Landlord’s mortgage broker or mortgagee, of such information as they shall require with respect to Tenant’s occupancy of the Demised Premises, including, but not limited to the current financial statement of Tenant. Any such cooperation by Tenant pursuant to this Section shall be at no cost or expense to Tenant.

ARTICLE 39

ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE

39.01. Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, comply with the New Jersey Industrial Site Recovery Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder (referred to as “ISRA”) as same relate to Tenant’s occupancy of the Demised Premises, as well as all other state, federal or local environmental law, ordinance, rule, or regulation either in existence as of the date hereof or enacted or promulgated after the date of this Lease, that concern the management, control, discharge, treatment and/or removal of hazardous discharges or otherwise affecting or affected by Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Demised Premises. Tenant represents that Tenant’s North American Industry Classification System (“NAICS”) number does not subject it to ISRA.

ARTICLE 40

HOLDING OVER

40.01. Tenant will have no right to remain in possession of all or part of the Demised Premises after the expiration or earlier termination of the Term. The parties recognize and agree that the damage to Landlord resulting from any failure by Tenant to timely surrender possession of the Demised Premises as aforesaid will be extremely substantial, will exceed the amount of the monthly installments of the Fixed Base Rent and Additional Rent theretofore payable hereunder, and will be impossible to accurately measure. Tenant therefore agrees that if possession of the Premises is not surrendered to Landlord upon the expiration or termination of this Lease, in addition to any other rights or remedies Landlord may have hereunder or at law, and without in any manner limiting Landlord’s right to demonstrate and collect any damages suffered by Landlord and arising from Tenant’s failure to surrender the Demised Premises as provided herein, Tenant shall pay to Landlord on account of use and occupancy of the Demised Premises for each month and for each portion of any month during which Tenant holds over in

the Demised Premises after the expiration or termination of this Lease, in addition to all Additional Rent otherwise required to be paid hereunder, a sum equal to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Fixed Base Rent which was payable under this Lease during the last month of the Term. In addition, Tenant agrees to indemnify and save Landlord harmless from and against all claims, losses, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) resulting from Tenant failing to so surrender the Premises within thirty (30) days after the expiration or termination of the Term, including, without limitation, any claims made by any succeeding tenant founded on such delay exceeding thirty (30) days. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to permit Tenant to retain possession of the Demised Premises after the expiration or termination of this Lease or to limit in any manner Landlord’s right to regain possession of the Demised Premises through summary proceedings, or otherwise, and no acceptance by Landlord of payments from Tenant after the expiration or termination of this Lease shall be deemed to be other than on account of the amount to be paid by Tenant in accordance with the provisions of this Article 40. The provisions of this Article 40 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease.

ARTICLE 41

CERTAIN DEFINITIONS AND CONSTRUCTIONS

41.01. The terms “include,” “including,” and “such as”, as used in this Lease, shall each be construed as if followed by the phrase “without being limited to.”

41.02. The various terms which are italicized and defined in other Articles of this Lease or are defined in Exhibits annexed hereto, shall have the meanings specified in such other Articles and such Exhibits for all purposes of this Lease and all agreements supplemental thereto, unless the context shall otherwise require.

41.03. The submission of this Lease for examination does not constitute a reservation of, or option for, the Demised Premises, and this Lease becomes effective as a Lease only upon execution and delivery thereof by Landlord and Tenant.

41.04. The Article headings in this Lease and the Index prefixed to this Lease are inserted only as a matter of convenience in reference and are not to be given any effect whatsoever in construing this Lease.

41.05. This Lease shall be construed without regard to any presumption or other rule requiring construction against the Party causing this Lease to be drafted.

41.06. (a) References to Landlord as having no liability to Tenant or being without liability to Tenant, shall mean the Tenant is not entitled to terminate this Lease, or to claim actual or constructive eviction, partial or total, or to receive any abatement or diminution of rent, or to be relieved in any manner of any of its other obligations hereunder, or to be compensated.

(b) The term Laws and/or requirements of public authorities and words of like import shall mean laws and ordinances of any or all of the Federal, state, city, county, and borough governments and rules, regulations, orders and/or directives of any or all departments,

(c) The term requirements of insurance bodies and words of like import shall mean rules, regulations, orders, and other requirements of the New Jersey Board of Fire Underwriters and/or similar body performing the same or similar functions and having jurisdiction or cognizance of the Building and/or the Demised Premises.

(e) Reference to termination of this Lease includes expiration or earlier termination of the term of this Lease or cancellation of this Lease pursuant to any of the provisions of this Lease or to law. Upon a termination of this Lease, the term and estate granted by this Lease shall end at noon of the date of termination as if such date were the date of expiration of the term of this Lease and neither Party shall have any further obligation or liability to the other after such termination (i) except as shall be expressly provided for in this Lease, or (ii) except for such obligation as by its nature or under the circumstances can only be, or by the provisions of this Lease, may be performed after such termination and, in any event, unless expressly otherwise provided in this Lease, any liability for a payment which shall have accrued to or with respect to any period ending at the time of termination shall survive the termination of this Lease.

ARTICLE 42

EARLY TERMINATION

42.01. Subject to the provisions of Subsection 42.02, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease (the “Early Termination Option”) effective as of the seventh (7th) anniversary of the Commencement Date (the “Early Termination Date”) by delivering written notice of such termination to Landlord at least twelve (12) months prior to the Early Termination Date, TIME BEING OF THE ESSENCE. If Tenant fails to give such notice to Landlord at least twelve (12) months prior to the Early Termination Date, Tenant will be deemed to have waived the Early Termination Option and the provisions of this Section shall be null and void. The Early Termination Option accorded in this Article 42 is personal to Tenant and may not be assigned except in connection with a Permitted Transfer.

42.02. If Tenant exercises the Early Termination Option in accordance with Subsection 42.01, Tenant shall pay Landlord a termination payment (the “Termination Fee”) in an amount equal to the sum of (X) an amount equal to four (4) months of the Fixed Base Rent in effect as of the Early Termination Date, plus (Y) the unamortized costs, as of the Early Termination Date, of the following: (a) the funds actually disbursed by Landlord under the Tenant Improvement Allowance, (b) all brokerage commissions paid by Landlord in connection with this Lease, and (c) Landlord’s legal costs incurred in connection with negotiating this Lease (up to a maximum

of $25,000), which amounts described in clauses (a) through (c) shall be amortized on a straight-line basis over the Term using a six percent (6%) interest rate. Payment of fifty percent (50%) of the Termination Fee shall be tendered within five (5) business days after Landlord has confirmed the exact amount of the Termination Fee to Tenant in writing. Tenant’s exercise of the Early Termination Option shall be deemed null and void and of no force or effect if the balance of the Termination Fee is not paid by Tenant at least thirty (30) days prior to the Early Termination Date.

ARTICLE 43

RENEWAL OPTIONS

43.01. Provided that at the time of the exercise of the applicable option to renew, and upon the commencement of the applicable Renewal Period, an Event of Default has not occurred that remains uncured, then Landlord hereby grants to Tenant the option (the “Renewal Option”) to renew the term of this Lease for two (2) additional periods of five (5) years each (each, a “Renewal Period”). The first Renewal Period, if the Renewal Option therefor is exercised, will commence on the day after the initial Expiration Date upon the same terms and conditions as set forth in this Lease other than the Fixed Base Rent which shall be the Fair Market Value of the Demised Premises at the time of the commencement of the Renewal Period multiplied by the rentable square footage of the Demised Premises (but in no event less than the Fixed Base Rent payable hereunder by Tenant for the last 12 months of the original Term). The second Renewal Period, if the Renewal Option therefor is exercised, will commence on the day after the scheduled expiration of the first Renewal Period upon the same terms and conditions as set forth in this Lease other than the Fixed Base Rent which shall be the Fair Market Value of the Demised Premises at the time of the commencement of the second Renewal Period multiplied by the rentable square footage of the Demised Premises (but in no event less than the Fixed Base Rent payable hereunder by Tenant for the last 12 months of the first Renewal Period). The Fixed Base Rent shall automatically increase on each anniversary of the commencement of the applicable Renewal Period by an amount equal to $0.50 multiplied by the rentable square footage of the Demised Premises.

43.02. Tenant shall exercise the first Renewal Option by giving written notice to Landlord (a “Renewal Notice”) not earlier than eighteen (18) months and not later than fifteen (15) months prior to the initial Expiration Date, TIME BEING OF THE ESSENCE. Tenant shall exercise the second Renewal Option, if applicable, by giving a Renewal Notice to Landlord not earlier than eighteen (18) months and not later than fifteen (15) months prior to the scheduled expiration date of the first Renewal Period, TIME BEING OF THE ESSENCE. If Tenant fails to give a Renewal Notice with respect to the first Renewal Option or the second Renewal Option, Tenant will be deemed to have waived such Renewal Option and the provisions of this Section shall be null and void. The Renewal Options accorded in this Article 43 are personal to Tenant and may not be assigned except in connection with a Permitted Transfer.

43.03. Fair Market Value shall mean the amount, on a per square foot basis, that a willing tenant would pay and a willing landlord would accept in an arms’ length transaction for office space comparable to the Demised Premises in the Plainsboro/Princeton New Jersey office

market area, giving appropriate consideration to tenant improvements, free rent periods, brokerage commissions and other applicable factors.

43.04. For purposes of determining “Fair Market Value” for either Renewal Period, the following procedure shall apply:

(a) Landlord shall, within fifteen (15) business days after its receipt of a Renewal Notice, provide its written determination of the Fair Market Value at the commencement of the applicable Renewal Period (“Landlord’s Determination”) to Tenant.

(b) Within fifteen (15) business days after its receipt of Landlord’s Determination, Tenant may, if it does not agree with Landlord’s Determination, deliver notice to Landlord setting forth Tenant’s determination of the Fair Market Value at the commencement of the applicable Renewal Period (“Tenant’s Determination”). If Tenant fails to object to Landlord’s Determination and provide Tenant’s Determination in writing within such fifteen (15) business day period, then Landlord’s Determination shall be deemed the Fair Market Value for the commencement of the applicable Renewal Period and shall be binding upon Tenant for purposes of determining Fixed Base Rent for such Renewal Period.

(c) If, within thirty (30) days after the delivery of Tenant’s Determination (the “Negotiation Period”), Landlord and Tenant shall mutually agree upon the determination of Fair Market Value (a “Mutual Determination”) for the commencement of the applicable Renewal Period, then their Mutual Determination shall constitute the Fair Market Value for purposes of determining Fixed Base Rent during the applicable Renewal Period.

(d) If Landlord and Tenant shall be unable to reach a Mutual Determination during the Negotiation Period, then Tenant may revoke its Renewal Notice at its sole option by advising Landlord in writing of such, or if Tenant fails or elects not to revoke its Renewal Notice then Landlord and Tenant shall jointly appoint an independent qualified commercial real estate broker with at least fifteen (15) years of office leasing experience in the Plainsboro/Princeton New Jersey office market area (the “Arbiter”) to determine Fair Market Value at the commencement of the applicable Renewal Period. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Tenant shall have no right to revoke its Renewal Notice after the first to occur of (i) the date that is twelve (12) months prior to the expiration of the initial Expiration Date or the expiration of the first Renewal Period, as applicable, or (ii) the appointment of the Arbiter.

(e) If appointed, the Arbiter’s fee shall be borne equally by Landlord and Tenant. In the event that Landlord and Tenant shall be unable to jointly agree on the designation of the Arbiter within fifteen (15) business days after the end of the Negotiation Period, then the Parties agree to allow the American Arbitration Association, or any successor organization, to designate the Arbiter in accordance with its commercial rules.

(f) The Arbiter shall conduct such investigations as he or she may deem appropriate and shall, within thirty (30) days after the date of designation of the Arbiter, choose either Landlord’s Determination or Tenant’s Determination only, and such choice by the Arbiter shall be conclusive and binding upon Landlord and Tenant for purposes of determining Fixed

Base Rent at the commencement of the applicable Renewal Period. Each Party shall pay its own counsel fees and expenses, if any, in connection with any arbitration under this Article. The Arbiter shall not have the power to add to, modify or change any of the provisions of this Lease.

ARTICLE 44

RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER; RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL

44.01. Provided that at the time of exercise or execution of such rights set forth in this article, an Event of Default has not occurred that remains uncured, then Landlord hereby grants to Tenant on-going rights of first offer (individually or collectively referred to herein as the “Right of First Offer”) and first refusal (individually or collectively referred to herein as the “Right of First Refusal”) during the Term of this Lease that can be exercised to lease any additional space in the Building that is or becomes vacant at any time during the Term (hereinafter “Expansion Space”), with such rights subject only to the prior rights of existing tenants of the Building extending the terms of their existing leases. The Right of First Offer is subject to the following terms and conditions set forth in Section 44.02 and in Section 44.04. The Right of First Refusal is subject to the following terms and conditions set forth in Section 44.03 and in Section 44.04. Any lease by Tenant of additional space in the Building pursuant to this Article 44 shall be referred to herein as an “Expansion”.

(a) In addition to the Right of First Offer and Right of First Refusal, Tenant may at any time during the Term exercise a right of expansion (the “Right of Expansion”) whereby Tenant may lease any Expansion Space in the Building provided that (i) such Expansion Space is not subject to a lease with any third party (regardless of whether such third party is in occupancy), (ii) such expansion would not leave less than Four Thousand (4,000) square feet of remaining rental space on such floor, and (iii) such Expansion Space consists of at least Nine Thousand (9,000) square feet if the Expansion Space is located on the second floor of the Building and at least Seven Thousand Five Hundred (7,500) square feet if the Expansion Space is located on the first floor of the Building.

(b) Should Tenant exercise its Right of Expansion then the Fixed Base Rent for any such leased Expansion Space shall be pursuant to the same terms used for determining Fixed Base Rent on a per square foot basis as is stated below in Section 44.04.

(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, should Landlord agree to permit Tenant to lease any Expansion Space within the Building, and such Expansion does not meet the criteria provided for in Section 44.01(a) for the exercise of the Right of Expansion, then the Fixed Base Rent for any such leased Expansion Space shall be pursuant to the same terms used for determining Fixed Base Rent on a per square foot basis as is stated below in Section 44.04

44.02. Landlord shall deliver written notice to Tenant (a “ROFO Notice”) no later than ten (10) business days after any previously leased space in the Building becomes available for lease; if such ROFO Notice is sent more than three (3) years after the Rent Commencement Date of this Lease then such ROFO Notice shall include Landlord’s Determination as to the Fair

Market Value of such offered leased space. Tenant shall have an exclusive period of fifteen (15) business days after receipt of a ROFO Notice within which to notify Landlord of Tenant’s desire to lease the applicable Expansion Space that is the subject of the ROFO Notice, or any portion thereof (a “ROFO Acceptance Notice”). A ROFO Acceptance Notice shall specify the exact space (which must be at least 10,000 square feet if the applicable ROFO Notice is for more than 10,000 square feet, and must be all of the offered square footage if the applicable ROFO Notice is for 10,000 square feet or less) that Tenant is electing to rent. If Tenant timely delivers a ROFO Acceptance Notice, then Landlord shall be obligated to lease the applicable Expansion Space to Tenant, and Tenant shall be obligated to lease such Expansion Space from Landlord, upon the terms described in Section 44.04. If Tenant fails to deliver a ROFO Acceptance Notice within fifteen (15) business days after its receipt of a ROFO Notice, the Right of First Offer with respect to such Expansion Space shall be deemed to be exhausted for this particular circumstance only, and, subject to Section 44.03, Landlord may proceed to offer such Expansion Space to third parties on such terms as Landlord may determine in its sole discretion.

44.03. Landlord shall deliver written notice to Tenant (a “ROFR Notice”) within ten (10) business days after Landlord’s receipt of a signed offer letter, term sheet or letter of intent from a prospective Expansion Space tenant which Landlord desires to accept (a “Bona Fide Offer”). Tenant shall have an exclusive period of ten (10) business days after receipt of the ROFR Notice within which to notify Landlord of Tenant’s desire to lease the applicable Expansion Space that is the subject of the Bona Fide Offer (a “ROFR Acceptance Notice”). Tenant shall have no right to lease less than all of the Expansion Space that is the subject of the Bona Fide Offer. If Tenant timely delivers a ROFR Acceptance Notice, then Landlord shall be obligated to lease the applicable Expansion Space described in the Bona Fide Offer to Tenant, and Tenant shall be obligated to lease such Expansion Space from Landlord, upon the terms described in Section 44.04. If Tenant fails to deliver a ROFR Acceptance Notice within ten (10) business days after its receipt of a ROFR Notice, the Right of First Refusal with respect to such Expansion Space shall be deemed to be exhausted for this particular circumstance only and Landlord may proceed to lease such Expansion Space to the party that submitted the Bona Fide Offer subject to the following conditions: (a) a lease must be signed with the party that submitted the Bona Fide Offer within nine (9) months of the date of exhaustion of the Right of First Refusal or such leased space must be offered back to Tenant and a new ROFR Notice must be sent to Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Article; and/or (b) should the leased space become available again then it must be offered back to Tenant and a new ROFO Notice must be sent to Tenant pursuant to the terms of Article 44.02; and/or (c) should Landlord offer such leased space on economic terms that are, after giving effect to all rental concessions, 10% or more favorable to such other party than the economic terms that were offered to Tenant in Landlord’s ROFO Notice or pursuant to Article 44.04, then Landlord must issue a new ROFR Notice to Tenant and comply with the terms of this Article.

44.04. If Tenant exercises its Right of First Offer, its Right of First Refusal, its Right of Expansion, or any other permitted Expansion as provided for in Section 44.01(c), for any Expansion Space prior to the third (3rd) anniversary of the Rent Commencement Date, then the lease for such Expansion Space shall be upon the terms and conditions of this Lease (including the Fixed Base Rent, which shall be the same (on a per square foot basis) as the Fixed Base Rent

then payable by Tenant at the time of such Expansion for the space originally comprising the Demised Premises) except that the Tenant Improvement Allowance and any free rent period for such Expansion Space shall be reduced proportionately based on the remaining term of this Lease. If Tenant exercises its Right of First Offer or Right of First Refusal for any Expansion Space from and after the third (3rd) anniversary of the Rent Commencement Date, the lease for such Expansion Space shall be upon the terms and conditions of this Lease except that the Fixed Base Rent for such Expansion Space shall be based upon Fair Market Value at the time of such Expansion and Tenant shall not be entitled to any free rent period or Tenant Improvement Allowance with respect to the Expansion Space. In no event shall Tenant’s exercise of its Right of First Offer, its Right of First Refusal, its Right of Expansion, or any other such permitted Expansion as provided for in Section 44.01(c) for Expansion Space result in an extension of the Term or the granting of any additional Renewal Options not otherwise provided for in the terms and conditions of this Lease, unless otherwise agreed upon by Landlord and Tenant. If Fixed Base Rent for any Expansion Space is to be based on the Fair Market Value at the time of such Expansion, and such Fair Market Value cannot be determined by Landlord and Tenant prior to the commencement of the term for the Expansion Space, then until Fair Market Value can be determined in accordance with Sections 43.04(d), (e) and (f), Tenant shall pay Fixed Base Rent based upon the same per square foot rent then payable by Tenant at the time of such Expansion for the original Demised Premises. If Tenant exercises its Right of First Offer, its Right of First Refusal, its Right of Expansion, or Tenant is permitted to lease Expansion Space pursuant to Section 44.01(c), then for any such Expansion Space, this Lease shall be amended by Landlord and Tenant to incorporate such Expansion Space and the terms applicable to such Expansion Space, to modify Tenant’s Percentage, and as otherwise may be necessary in Landlord’s commercially reasonable judgment.

44.05. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Tenant may at any time during the Term deliver to Landlord a written request for Landlord to provide a listing of all lease termination dates and anticipated vacancies at the Building. Landlord shall provide such listing within fifteen (15) business days thereafter.
