5 Preparation of the Leased Premises.
5.1 The timely preparation of the Tenant Plan through architects and engineers, licensed in New Jersey, selected by the Tenant shall be the Tenant’s obligation and expense. The Tenant Plan shall be prepared consistently with the Building plans and specifications and the Landlord’s tenant construction specifications in effect. The Tenant shall deliver the complete Tenant Plan to the Landlord not later than the Tenant Plan Due Date. During the fourteen (14) days immediately succeeding the submission of the complete Tenant Plan to the Landlord, the Tenant Plan shall be subject to the Landlord’s and its engineers’ reasonable review, comment, consultation and objection with respect to any lack of consistency with the Building plans and specifications or the Landlord’s tenant construction specifications then in effect, any structural changes to, or any changes in the exterior of, the Building or any portion thereof required thereby, any changes to Systems required thereby, any interface or connection with Systems or any adverse effect upon the functional utility or rental value of the Leased Premises. If the Landlord timely and otherwise properly objects to the Tenant Plan by notice to the Tenant setting forth therein any of the specified reasons in reasonable detail, the Tenant shall have its architects and engineers revise the Tenant Plan and deliver the revised complete Tenant Plan to the Landlord within ten (10) days of the Landlord’s giving timely notice of its objection to the Tenant.
5.2 In the event that the Tenant desires to name a qualified general contractor for the purpose of including it among those invited to bid on the work called for by the Tenant Plan, the Tenant shall, prior to the Tenant Plan Due Date, submit in writing to the Landlord the name, address, telephone number and telefacsimile number of one qualified general contractor active in the Middlesex County, New Jersey area. As soon as practicable after the receipt by the Landlord of the final Tenant Plan, the Landlord shall solicit bids for the construction of the work called for by the Tenant Plan from at least three general contractors, including the general contractor, if any, timely nominated by the Tenant. The Landlord and the Tenant shall promptly review the bids after receipt. Following bid review and qualification for the Tenant’s Buildout, the Landlord and the
4
Tenant shall promptly select in a writing the best qualified and quantified general contractor; but if the Landlord and the Tenant are unable to agree upon the selection of the best qualified and quantified general contractor by the end of the bid review and qualification period for the Tenant’s Buildout, the selection of the best qualified and quantified general contractor to be awarded the contract for the Tenant’s Buildout shall be made by the Landlord acting in its sole, reasonable discretion.
5.3 The Landlord shall give notice to the Tenant of the Landlord’s price to the Tenant to perform the Tenant’s Buildout utilizing the Landlord’s general contractor. The Landlord’s price shall include an amount equal to five (5%) percent of the first one million ($1,000,000.00) dollars and three (3%) percent of the amount in excess of one million ($1,000,000.00) dollars of the Landlord’s general contractor’s aggregate price (which shall include additional costs of any change orders) for the Tenant’s Buildout as the Landlord’s construction supervision fee. Said fee shall not apply to any architectural, design, telecommunications or movable furniture installation fees or costs paid directly by the Tenant to its contractors. Subject to the terms of Section 44.1 of this Agreement, the Tenant shall pay such price to the Landlord in proportion to the progress of such work, as and when billed by the Landlord at intervals, corresponding to the invoicing by the Landlord’s general contractor, with payment of any remaining final balance due from the Tenant upon substantial completion of such work.
5.4 The Landlord shall cause the selected general contractor selected in accordance with subsection 5.2 of this Agreement to construct the Tenant’s Buildout in accordance with the Tenant Plan in a good and workmanlike manner and in accordance with all applicable building codes. The construction of any changes to the Tenant Plan made by the Tenant shall be an additional expense to the Tenant. The Landlord shall use reasonable commercial efforts to achieve Substantial Completion of the Tenant’s Buildout by the Target Date.
6.1 If, prior to the date of exercise thereof (a)(i) no Event of Default shall have occurred or (ii) if an Event of Default shall have occurred, the Tenant shall have previously cured it in full or the Landlord shall have waived it and (b) there shall not have been a History of Recurring Events of Default, the Tenant shall have two (2) options, exercisable exclusively at the time and in the manner set forth below in subsection 6.2 of this Agreement, to extend the Term for one additional period of five years’ duration per each option. The periods to which these options relate shall respectively commence upon the end of the respective Expiring Term. Each option shall be defined as an “Option to Renew.”
6.2 In the event the Tenant is interested in exercising the
5
next available Option to Renew, the Tenant shall give timely notice of the Tenant’s interest to the Landlord no earlier than 24, and no later than 17, months prior to the end of the Expiring Term. Within one hundred eighty (180) days of the giving of such notice, the Landlord shall give notice to the Tenant of the Landlord’s quotation of the Market Rental Rate for the Leased Premises during the Renewal Term. In the event the Tenant desires to exercise the next available Option to Renew, the Tenant shall do so exclusively by giving timely notice thereof to the Landlord no later than 15 months prior to the end of the Expiring Term, and indicating in that notice whether or not the Landlord’s quotation of the Market Rental Rate for the Leased Premises during the applicable Renewal Term, as set forth in the Landlord’s notice, is acceptable. In the event the Tenant fails timely to notify the Landlord of its interest in exercising the next available Option to Renew or timely to exercise the next available Option to Renew, the Option to Renew shall thereupon expire.
6.3 The Basic Rent for the Leased Premises during the applicable Renewal Term shall be the Landlord’s quotation of the Market Rental Rate for the Leased Premises during the Renewal Term, as set forth in the Landlord’s notice to the Tenant, unless the Tenant, in the Tenant’s notice contemplated by the third sentence of subsection 6.2 of this Agreement affirmatively indicates that the Landlord’s quotation of the Market Rental Rate set forth in the Landlord’s notice is not acceptable, in which case the Basic Rent for the Leased Premises during the respective Renewal Term shall be the greater of:

Under the circumstances contemplated by clause (b) of this subsection 15.1.3 of the Agreement, if the Landlord shall not have timely restored the Building and the Leased Premises as contemplated by subsection 15.1 of this Agreement to the extent the Landlord shall have received proceeds of any property or liability insurance on the damaged portions, the Term shall terminate upon the expiration of ninety (90) additional days (without the Landlord’s completion of its restoration obligation in the interim) after the Tenant shall have given prompt notice that the Landlord has not completed its restoration obligations on a timely basis and that the Tenant desires termination of the Term (which termination shall be effective as of the date of the subject casualty with respect to those portions of the Leased Premises rendered unusable by the subject casualty and as of the date of the Tenant’s giving notice with respect to those portions of the Leased Premises which were not rendered unusable by the subject casualty).
15.2 Under the circumstances contemplated by subsection 15.1 of this Agreement, Rent shall xxxxx from the date of the casualty until such time as the Building and the Leased Premises are again restored by the Landlord as contemplated by subsection 15.1 of this Agreement by the amount which bears the same proportion to the Rent otherwise payable during such period as the gross rentable floor space of the Leased Premises which are rendered unusable or not reasonably accessible to and from the Common Facilities of the Building bears to the gross rentable floor space of the Leased Premises.
15.3 The restoration of the improvements constructed or installed in the Leased Premises as contemplated by sections 5 or 12 of this Agreement shall be the Tenant’s responsibility. The Tenant shall make reasonable, good faith efforts to integrate the restoration which is its responsibility with the restoration which is the Landlord’s responsibility. To the extent such integration is not feasible, the Tenant shall be allowed an additional, reasonable interval to complete its work, not to exceed thirty (30) days after the completion of the Landlord’s restoration work, and Rent shall continue to xxxxx until the earlier of (i) the expiration of such additional interval or (ii) the completion of the Tenant’s work, to the same extent
28
contemplated by subsection 15.2. The Landlord shall cooperate with the Tenant to integrate the restoration of such improvements during the reconstruction period.
15.4 In the event either the Landlord shall make any election to cancel contemplated by subsection 15.1.1 of this Agreement or either the Landlord or the Tenant shall make any election to cancel contemplated by subsection 15.1.2 of this Agreement, then the Landlord may proceed with restoration (or non–restoration) in any manner it chooses, without any liability to the Tenant.
15.5 The Tenant shall promptly advise the Landlord by the quickest means of communication of the occurrence of any casualty damage to the Building or the Leased Premises of which the Tenant becomes aware.
16.1 This section 16 of the Agreement shall apply if the power of eminent domain (or private purchase by any public or quasi-public body in lieu thereof for any public or quasi-public purpose) shall be exercised with the result that:
16.1.1 all or substantially all the Property or the Leased Premises is taken during the Term for at least the balance of the Term;
16.1.2 less than substantially all the Property, the Building or the Common Facilities (but none of the Leased Premises) is taken during the Term for at least the balance of the Term, but the Landlord reasonably promptly determines in good faith that it is not economically feasible for the Landlord to make any necessary alterations and continue to operate the portions not so taken, as they may be altered, as a first class Building and facility in the vicinity for the balance of the Term;
16.1.3 less than substantially all the Leased Premises is taken during the Term for at least the balance of the Term, but the Tenant reasonably promptly determines in good faith that it can not continue to use and enjoy the portions not so taken for the conduct of its business in the ordinary course during the balance of the Term; or
16.1.4 so much of the Property or the Common Facilities is taken during the Term for at least the balance of the Term that the Leased Premises are not reasonably accessible to and from the Common Facilities and reasonable alternate access is not provided by the Landlord.
16.2 Under the circumstances contemplated by subsections 16.1.1 and subsections 16.1.4 of this Agreement, then either the Landlord or the Tenant may elect to terminate the Term by notice
29
to the other given within thirty (30) days after, and effective as of, the later of the date (i) that the condemnor acquires title to the portions taken or (ii) that possession of the portions taken is required to be delivered or surrendered to the condemning authority. Under the circumstances contemplated by subsection 16.1.2 of this Agreement the Landlord, and under the circumstances contemplated by subsection 16.1.3 of this Agreement the Tenant, respectively, may elect to terminate the Term by notice to the other given within thirty (30) days after, and effective as of, the later of the date (i) that the condemnor acquires title to the portions taken or (ii) that possession of the portions taken is required to be delivered or surrendered to the condemning authority.
16.3 Under the circumstances contemplated by subsection 16.1 of this Agreement, if no party with any right to elect to terminate the Term under subsection 16.2 of this Agreement shall have given timely notice to the other of exercise of its election to terminate the Term, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect, but Rent shall xxxxx, effective as of the later of the date (i) that the condemnor acquires title to the portions taken or (ii) that possession of the portions taken is required to be delivered or surrendered to the condemning authority, by the amount which bears the same proportion to the Rent otherwise payable during any period as the gross rentable floor space, if any, of the Leased Premises which is taken bears to the gross rentable floor space of the Leased Premises.
16.4 Under any of the circumstances contemplated by this section 16 of the Agreement, the Tenant hereby waives any claim against the Landlord, the condemning authority for any thing of value, tangible or intangible, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the putative value of any leasehold interest or the loss of the use of same, except for any right the Tenant might have to make a claim, independent of, and without reference to or having any effect on, any claim, award or settlement of the Landlord, against the condemning authority regarding the value of the Tenant’s installed trade fixtures and other installed equipment which are not removable from the Leased Premises or for ordinary and necessary moving and relocation expenses occasioned by the taking.

38
average yield on United States Treasury securities having maturities comparable to the balance of the then remaining Term) of the sum of all payments of Rent remaining due (at the time of calculation) until the date the Term would have expired (had there been no election to terminate it earlier) less the present value (similarly calculated) of all payments of rent to be received through the end of the Term (had there been no election to terminate it earlier) from a lessee, if any, of the Leased Premises at the time of calculation (and it shall be assumed for purposes of such calculations that (i) the amount of future Additional Rent due per year under this Agreement will be equal to the average Additional Rent per month due during the twelve (12) full calendar months immediately preceding the date of any such calculation, increasing annually at a rate of seven (7%) percent compounded, (ii) if any calculation is made before the first anniversary of the end of the No Pass Through Period, the average Additional Rent due for any month after the end of the No Pass Through Period will be equal to eight (8%) percent of the sum of the Base Year Operating Expenses, Base Year Taxes, Net Utilities Expenses, Annual Amortized Capital Expenditures and Tenant Electric Charges (considered on an annual basis), (iii) if any calculation is made before the beginning of the Base Year, the sum of Base Year Taxes and Base Year Operational Expenses shall be assumed to be $5.00 per gross rentable square foot and (iv) if any calculation is made before the end of the Base Year, Base Year Taxes and Base Year Operational Expenses may be extrapolated based on the year to date experience of the Landlord);

23.2.4 that amount, which as of the occurrence of the Event of Default, bears the same ratio to the costs, if any, incurred by the Landlord (and not paid by the Tenant) in building out the Leased Premises in accordance with section 5 of this Agreement as the number of months remaining in the Term (immediately before the occurrence of the Event of Default) bears to the number of months in the entire Term (immediately before the occurrence of the Event of Default).
23.3 In the event the Landlord elects the right and remedy set forth in subsection 23.1.2 of this Agreement, Re-Leasing Damages shall be equal to the Rent less any rent actually and timely received by the Landlord from any lessee of the Leased Premises or any portion thereof, payable at the respective times that Rent is payable under the Agreement plus the cost, if any, to the Landlord of building out or otherwise preparing the Leased Premises for, and leasing the Leased Premises to, any such lessee.

(1/12) of the then Market Rental Rate plus all Additional Rent as set forth in this Agreement or (b) double the average amount of all payments of Rent due under this Agreement during each of the last twelve (12) full calendar months prior to the Landlord’s so electing or, in the event the Term shall have terminated by expiration under subsection 24.1.1 of this Agreement, the last full twelve (12) calendar months of the Term, in either case payable in full on the first day of each holdover month or part thereof.

23.6 The enumeration of rights and remedies in this section 23 of the Agreement is not intended to be exhaustive or exclusive of any rights and remedies which might otherwise be available to the Landlord, or to force an election of one or more rights and remedies to the exclusion of others, concurrently, consecutively or sequentially. On the contrary, each right and remedy enumerated in this section 23 of the Agreement is intended to be cumulative with each other right and remedy enumerated in this section 23 of the Agreement and with each other right and remedy that might otherwise be available to the Landlord; and the selection of one or more of such rights and remedies at any time shall not be deemed to prevent resort to one or more others of such rights and remedies at the same time or a subsequent time, even with regard to the same occurrence sought to be remedied.
23.7 The Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate damages.
24.1 The Term shall terminate upon the earliest of the following events to occur:

24.1.4 the effective date of any election by the Landlord under subsection 17.3.3 of this Agreement in response to the Tenant’s notice of the Tenant’s desire to assign this Agreement or to sublet all or a portion of the Leased Premises; or
24.1.5 the effective date of any election by the Landlord to terminate the Term under subsection 23.1.1 of this Agreement.
24.2 No termination of the Term shall have the effect of releasing the Tenant from any obligation or liability theretofore or thereby incurred and, until the Tenant shall have surrendered the Leased Premises in accordance with section 21 of this Agreement, from any obligation or liability thereafter incurred.
25 Mortgage and Underlying Lease Priority. This Agreement and the estate, interest and rights hereby created for the benefit of the Tenant are, and shall always be, subordinate to any mortgage (other than a mortgage created by the Tenant or a sale, transfer or other disposition by the Tenant in the nature of a security interest in violation of subsections 17.1.4 and 22.5, respectively, of this Agreement) afterwards placed on the Property, the Common Facilities, the Building or any estate or interest therein including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any new mortgage or any mortgage extension, renewal, modification, consolidation, replacement, supplement or substitution.

26.2 Upon giving notice of the occurrence of any transaction contemplated by subsection 26.1 of this Agreement, the Landlord shall thereby be relieved of any obligation that might otherwise exist under this Agreement with respect to periods subsequent to the effective date of any such transaction. If, in connection with any transaction contemplated by subsection 26.1 of this Agreement the Landlord transfers, or makes allowance for, any Security Deposit of the Tenant and gives notice of that fact to the Tenant, the Landlord shall thereby be relieved of any further obligation to the Tenant with regard to any such Security Deposit; and the Tenant shall look solely to the transferee with respect to any such Security Deposit.
26.3 In the event of the occurrence of any transaction contemplated by subsection 26.1 of this Agreement the Tenant, upon written request therefor from the transferee, shall attorn to and become the tenant of such transferee upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

26.5 If this Agreement and the estate, interest and rights hereby created for the benefit of the Tenant are ever subject and subordinate to any ground lease contemplated by section 25 of this Agreement:
26.5.1 upon the expiration or earlier termination of
42
the term of any such ground lease before the termination of the Term under this Agreement, the Tenant shall attorn to, and become the Tenant of, the lessor under any such ground lease and recognize such lessor as the Landlord under this Agreement for the balance of the Term; and
26.5.2 such expiration or earlier termination of the term of any such ground lease shall have no effect on the Term under this Agreement.
26.6 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary that may be set forth in section 25 of this Agreement, with respect to any mortgages or ground leases contemplated by section 25 of this Agreement, subordination, as contemplated by section 25 of this Agreement, shall be conditional upon each such mortgagee and ground lessor tendering to the Tenant its respective standard form of non-disturbance, attornment and subordination agreement which includes a provision to the effect that, in the event of enforcement of any remedies provided in the respective mortgage or ground lease, respectively, or otherwise, so long as no Event of Default shall not have occurred which has not been cured in full by the Tenant, the Tenant shall not be disturbed in its possession of the Leased Premises in accordance with this Agreement and which does not include any provision increasing the Tenant’s obligations otherwise due, or diminishing the Tenant’s rights otherwise available, in either case in accordance with this Agreement. Any processing or other fee that the mortgagee or ground lessor may charge and any reasonable legal expense that the Landlord may incur in connection with performing its obligations under this subsection shall be paid by the Tenant.
27.1 The Tenant shall, and hereby does, indemnify the Landlord against any and all liabilities, obligations, damages, penalties, claims, costs, charges and expenses including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, reasonable expenses of investigation, defense and enforcement thereof or of the obligation set forth in this section 27 of the Agreement including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, reasonable attorneys’ fees, imposed on or incurred by the Landlord in connection with any of the following matters which occurs during the Term:
27.1.1 any matter, cause or thing arising out of the use, occupancy, control or management of the Leased Premises or any portion thereof which is not caused by the Landlord’s negligence or intentional act;
27.1.2 any negligence or intentional act on the part of the Tenant or any of its employees, other agents or Guests;
27.1.3 any accident, injury or damage to any person or property occurring in or about the Leased Premises which is not caused by the Landlord’s negligence or intentional act;
43
27.1.4 any representation made by the Tenant in this Agreement or the Tenant’s Certificate executed and delivered to the Landlord pursuant to subsection 44.8 of this Agreement shall have been inaccurate or incomplete in any material respect either on the date it was made or the date as of which it was made;
27.1.5 the imposition of any mechanic’s, materialman’s or other lien on the Property, the Common Facilities, the Building, the Leased Premises or any portion of any of the foregoing, or the filing of any notice of intention to obtain any such lien, in connection with any alteration, improvement or other modification of the Leased Premises made or authorized by the Tenant, except any such alteration, improvement or other modification constructed or installed by the Landlord’s contractor (which indemnification obligation shall be deemed to include the Tenant’s obligations set forth in subsection 12.2.4.3 of this Agreement); or
27.1.6 any failure on the part of the Tenant to perform or comply with any obligation of the Tenant set forth in this Agreement.
27.2 Payment of indemnification claims by the Tenant to the Landlord shall be due upon the Landlord’s giving notice thereof to the Tenant together with proof of the cost thereof.

Upon receipt of such notice the Tenant may, by notice to the Landlord, participate therein and, to the extent it may desire, assume the defense thereof through independent counsel selected by the Tenant and reasonably satisfactory to the Landlord (counsel appointed by the Tenant’s insurer shall be deemed to be acceptable to the Landlord). The Landlord shall not be bound by any compromise or settlement of any such claim, action or proceeding without its prior written consent.
28.1 None of the following occurrences shall constitute a breach of this Agreement by the Landlord, a termination of the Term, an active or constructive eviction or an occurrence requiring an abatement of Rent:
28.1.1 the inability of the Landlord to provide any utility or service to be provided by the Landlord, as described in section 8 of this Agreement which is due to causes beyond the Landlord’s control, or to necessary or advisable improvements, maintenance, repairs or emergency, so long as the Landlord uses reasonable efforts and diligence under the circumstances to
44
restore the interrupted service or utility;
28.1.2 any improvement, modification, alteration or other change made to the Tower Center Complex, the Property, the Building or the Common Facilities by the Landlord consistently with the Landlord’s obligations set forth in subsection 13.2 of this Agreement; and
28.1.3 any change in any Federal, state or local law or ordinance.
28.2 Except for the commencement, duration or termination of the Term (other than under the circumstances contemplated by subsection 15.1 of this Agreement), the Tenant’s obligation to make timely payments of Rent, the Tenant’s obligation to maintain certain insurance coverage in effect, the Tenant’s failure to perform any of its other obligations under this Agreement if such failure has caused loss or damage that can not promptly be cured by subsequent act of the Tenant and the period within which any type of option or optional right exercisable by the Tenant must be exercised, any period of time during which the Landlord or the Tenant is prevented from performing any of its respective obligations under this Agreement because of fire, any other casualty or catastrophe, strikes, lockouts, civil commotion, acts of God or the public enemy, governmental prohibitions or preemptions, embargoes or inability to obtain labor or material due to shortage, governmental regulation or prohibition or any other cause beyond the Landlord’s control, shall be added to the time when such performance is otherwise required under this Agreement.
28.3 In the event the Landlord is an individual, partnership, joint venture, association or a participant in a joint tenancy or tenancy in common, the Landlord, the partners, venturers, members and joint owners shall not have any personal liability or obligation under or in connection with this Agreement or the Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Leased Premises; but recourse shall be limited exclusively to the Landlord’s interest in the Building.
28.4 If, at any time during the Term, the payment or collection of any Rent otherwise due under this Agreement shall be limited, frozen or otherwise subjected to a moratorium by applicable law, and such limitation, freeze or other moratorium shall subsequently be lifted, whether before or after the termination of the Term, such aggregate amount of Rent as shall not have been paid or collected during the Term on account of any such limitation, freeze or other moratorium, shall thereupon be due and payable at once as allowed by law. There shall be added to the maximum period of any otherwise applicable statute of limitation the entire period during which any such limitation, freeze or other moratorium shall have been in effect.
28.5 If this Agreement is executed by more than one person as the Tenant, their liability under this Agreement and in
45
connection with the use and occupancy of the Leased Premises shall be joint and several.
28.6 In the event any rate of interest, or other charge in the nature of interest, calculated as set forth in this Agreement would lead to the imposition of a rate of interest in excess of the maximum rate permitted by applicable usury law, only the maximum rate permitted shall be charged and collected.
28.7 The rule of construction that any ambiguities that may be contained in any contract shall be construed against the party drafting the contract shall be inapplicable in construing this Agreement.
29.1 The Tenant shall pay to the Landlord upon execution and delivery of this Agreement the sum of $1,280,160.00 as a security deposit, in the form of a letter of credit as described in subsection 29.2 of this Agreement, to be held by the Landlord as security for the Tenant’s performance of all the Tenant’s obligations under this Agreement. The Tenant shall not encumber the Security Deposit. If there has been no Event of Default, within thirty (30) days after termination of the Term the Landlord shall return the entire balance of the Security Deposit to the Tenant. The Tenant will not look to any foreclosing mortgagee of the Property, the Building, the Common Facilities or any interest therein for such return of the balance of the Security Deposit, unless the mortgagee has expressly assumed the Landlord’s obligations under this Agreement or has actually received the balance of the Security Deposit.
29.2 The Security Deposit contemplated by subsection 29.1 of this Agreement shall be in the form of an irrevocable letter of credit in the amount of the Security Deposit for the benefit of the Landlord, draws upon which are conditioned only on the Landlord’s certification of the occurrence of an Event of Default that, at the time of the draw, shall not have been cured in full by the Tenant. The letter of credit shall be issued by a reputable commercial bank operating in the United States reasonably satisfactory to the Landlord. The letter of credit shall be held by the Landlord as a Security Deposit for the Tenant’s performance of all the Tenant’s obligations under this Agreement. The Landlord, in its sole discretion, may draw upon the Security Deposit to cure any Event of Default under this Agreement. If any such application is made, upon notice by the Landlord to the Tenant, the Tenant shall promptly replace the amount so applied in the form of an additional letter of credit with otherwise similar terms. The letter of credit shall be for a term equal to the Term or, if the issuer of the letter of credit regularly and customarily only issues letters of credit for shorter terms, for the longest of such shorter regular and customary terms, but in no event for a term shorter than one year. If the letter of credit is issued for a term shorter than the Term, the Tenant shall obtain and deliver to the Landlord a
46
renewal letter of credit for a term equal to the shorter of (i) the balance of the Term or (ii) the longest of the issuer’s regular and customary terms, no later than 30 days prior to expiration of the term of the then current letter of credit. If the Tenant shall fail to obtain and deliver to the Landlord on a timely basis any such conforming renewal letter of credit, the Landlord shall have the right to draw 100% of the then current letter of credit and hold the proceeds as a cash Security Deposit in accordance with subsection 29.1 of this Agreement.

30.3 the execution and delivery of, the consummation of the transactions contemplated by and the performance of all its obligations under, this Agreement by the Tenant will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, the provisions of any statute, charter, certificate of incorporation or bylaws or partnership agreement of the Tenant or any affiliate of the Tenant, as presently in effect, or any indenture, mortgage, lease, deed of trust, other agreement, instrument, franchise, permit, license, decree, order, notice, judgment, rule or order to or of which the Tenant or any affiliate of the Tenant is a party, a subject or a recipient or by which the Tenant, any affiliate of the Tenant or any of their respective properties and other assets is bound, except the Tenant’s Current Lease.
31 Reservation in Favor of Tenant . Neither the Landlord’s forwarding a copy of this document to any prospective tenant nor any other act on the part of the Landlord prior to execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Landlord shall give rise to any
47
implication that any prospective tenant has a reservation, an option to lease or an outstanding offer to lease any premises.

33 Appraisal, Waiver of Jury Trial and Arbitration.
33.1 If the Landlord and the Tenant are unable, at any time of reference, to agree on the Market Rental Rate whenever a determination of the Market Rental Rate is required under this Agreement (other than in the context of Holdover Damages), within 15 days after this appraisal procedure is invoked by either party, each shall appoint one qualified appraiser of its choice which two appraisers shall then together choose a third qualified
50
appraiser within 10 days after their appointment. Within 20 days after the appointment of the third appraiser, each of the three appraisers shall submit his or her opinion of the Market Rental Rate, as defined in, and at the time specified by, the definition of Market Rental Rate set forth in Exhibit E attached hereto, by notice to the Landlord and the Tenant. The Market Rental Rate shall be the arithmetic mean of the two closest appraisers’ opinions, unless the absolute difference between the middle opinion and the highest and lowest opinion, respectively, is equal, in which case the middle opinion shall be the Market Rental Rate. Any determination of the Market Rental Rate in accordance with this subsection 33.1 of the Agreement shall be final and binding on, and not appealable by, the Landlord and the Tenant with respect to the respective instance in which the appraisal procedure was invoked. An appraiser shall be qualified, as that phrase is used in this subsection 33.1 of the Agreement, if he is independent, a member in good standing of the Appraisal Institute (successor to the American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers), has substantial prior experience appraising the market rental values of leased offices in office buildings located in Middlesex County, New Jersey and is not named in subsection 30.1 of this Agreement. The expense of the third appraiser shall be borne equally by the Landlord and the Tenant; otherwise each party shall bear the expense of its respective appraiser.
33.2 The parties hereby waive any right they might otherwise have to a trial by jury in connection with any dispute arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the use and occupancy of the Leased Premises; and, except as otherwise set forth in subsection 33.1 of this Agreement, they hereby consent to arbitration of any such dispute in East Brunswick, New Jersey, in accordance with the rules for commercial arbitration of the American Arbitration Association or successor organization, except that the Landlord or the Tenant, each in its respective sole discretion, may, with respect to any dispute involving either (i) the Landlord’s right to re-enter and re-take possession of the Leased Premises or (ii) the determination of money damages following the occurrence of an Event of Default under this Agreement, elect to pursue any of or all its rights in any court of competent jurisdiction. Judgment upon any arbitration award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
34 Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement, or the application of any provision in any instance, shall be conclusively determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, invalid or otherwise unenforceable, such determination shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the balance of this Agreement.
35 Notices. All notices contemplated by, permitted or required by this Agreement shall be in writing. All notices required by this Agreement shall be personally delivered or forwarded by certified mail—return receipt requested, addressed to the intended party
51
at its address first set forth above (adding, in the case of notices to the Landlord after the Commencement Date, “Attention: Lease Administration”) or, in the case of notices to the Tenant during the Term or any other period during which the Tenant shall be in possession of the Leased Premises, at the Leased Premises. Either party may from time to time change the address prescribed in this Agreement for notices to it by notice to the other. All notices required under this Agreement shall be deemed given upon their deposit, properly addressed and postage prepaid, in a postal depository or upon personal delivery to the intended party, regardless of whether delivery shall be refused.
36 Captions. Captions have been inserted at the beginning of each section of this Agreement for convenience of reference only and such captions shall not affect the construction or interpretation of any such section of this Agreement.
37 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in more than one counterpart, each of which shall constitute an original of this Agreement but all of which, taken together, shall constitute one and the same Agreement.
38 Applicable Law. This Agreement and the obligations of the parties hereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New Jersey.
39 Exclusive Benefit. Except as may be otherwise specifically set forth in this Agreement, this Agreement is made exclusively for the benefit of the parties hereto and their permitted assignees and no one else shall be entitled to any right, remedy or claim by reason of any provision of this Agreement.
40 Successors. This Agreement shall be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.
41 Amendments. This Agreement contains the entire agreement of the parties hereto, subsumes all prior discussions and negotiations and, except as may otherwise be specifically set forth in this Agreement, this Agreement may not be amended or otherwise modified except by a writing signed by all the parties to this Agreement.
42 Waiver. Except as may otherwise be specifically set forth in this Agreement, the failure of any party at any time or times to require performance of any provision of this Agreement shall in no manner affect the right at a later time to enforce the same. No waiver by any party of any condition, or of the breach of any term, covenant, representation or warranty set forth in this Agreement, whether by conduct or otherwise, in any one or more instances shall be deemed to be or construed as a further or continuing waiver of any such condition or breach, or as a waiver of any other condition or of the breach of any other term, covenant, representation or warranty set forth in this Agreement. The Landlord’s acceptance of, or endorsement on, any partial
52
payment of Rent or any late payment of Rent from the Tenant shall not operate as a waiver of the Landlord’s right to the balance of the Rent due on a timely basis regardless of any writing to the contrary on, or accompanying, the Tenant’s partial payment or the Landlord’s putative acquiescence therein.
43 Course of Performance. No course of dealing or performance by the parties, or any of them, shall be admissible for the purpose of obtaining an interpretation or construction of this Agreement at variance with the express language of the Agreement itself.
44.1 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary that may be set forth in section 5 of this Agreement, if (a)(i) no Event of Default shall have occurred or (ii) if an Event of Default shall have occurred, the Tenant shall have previously cured it in full or the Landlord shall have waived it and (b) if there shall not have been a History of Recurring Events of Default, the Landlord shall (a) credit against any amount otherwise due to the Landlord from the Tenant as contemplated by section 5 of this Agreement, including, but not limited to, the Landlord’s price to perform the Tenant’s Buildout, an amount equal to the lesser of: (i) $1,333,500.00, or (ii) such amount as is otherwise due to the Landlord from the Tenant as contemplated by section 5 of this Agreement, including, but not limited to, the Landlord’s price to perform the Tenant’s Buildout, and (b) reimburse the Tenant, in accordance with this subsection 44.1, for payments made by the Tenant to its architect for the reasonable cost of architectural services related to the Tenant’s alterations, improvements or other modifications to the Leased Premises in accordance with section 5 of this Agreement in an amount equal to the lesser of: (i) the balance of $1,333,500.00, if any, remaining after application of the credit contemplated in (a) above, or (ii) the amount paid by the Tenant to its architect for the reasonable cost of architectural services related to the Tenant’s alterations, improvements or other modifications to the Leased Premises in accordance with section 5 of this Agreement, which amount (the total of (a) and (b) above), net of the Landlord’s fee contemplated by section 5 of this Agreement, is the “Landlord’s Contribution”. If the total amount of the Tenant’s architect’s reasonable contract price and the Landlord’s price to perform the Tenant’s Buildout is less than or equal to the Landlord’s Contribution, the Landlord shall pay one hundred percent of each of said architect’s invoices and the Landlord’s general contractor’s invoices for the construction of the Tenant’s Buildout. If the total amount of the Tenant’s architect’s reasonable contract price and the Landlord’s price to perform the Tenant’s Buildout is more than the Landlord’s Contribution, the Landlord shall promptly deliver a complete copy of each invoice of the general contractor to the Tenant and the Tenant shall promptly deliver a complete copy of each invoice of the Tenant’s architect to the Landlord, as the case may be, and the Landlord shall credit and fund payment of that amount of each
53
such invoice which bears the same ratio to the total amount of the respective invoice as the Landlord’s Contribution payable to the Tenant’s architect or the general contractor, as the case may be, bears to the total amount of the Tenant’s architect’s contract price and the Landlord’s price to perform the Tenant’s Buildout; and at the same time, the Tenant shall fund payment of the balance of the respective invoice by paying such balance to the Landlord within five (5) business days after the delivery of the copy of the respective invoice to the Tenant.
44.2 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary that may be set forth in section 5 of this Agreement, (a) (i) if no Event of Default shall have occurred or (ii) if any Event of Default shall have occurred, the Tenant shall have previously cured it in full and the Landlord shall have waived it and (b) if there shall not have been a History of Recurring Events of Default, the Tenant may require, by delivery of written notice to the Landlord within sixty (60) days after the Commencement Date, that the Landlord finance the reasonable cost to the Tenant of moving its furniture, fixtures and equipment from its current leased premises located at 00 Xxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxxxx to the Leased Premises and the reasonable cost of furniture, fixtures and equipment purchased by the Tenant within one (1) year immediately following the Commencement Date for the exclusive use by the Tenant in the Leased Premises, within thirty (30) days after delivery by the Tenant to the Landlord of a complete copy of each invoice therefor, up to the maximum amount of $266,700.00 (the “Amount Financed”) over a period equal to the Initial Term, with interest at the rate of twelve (12%) percent per annum; and the Tenant shall repay the Amount Financed to the Landlord by making a constant monthly payment calculated as an annuity in arrears to the Landlord on the first day of each month during the Initial Term, which shall be in addition to all other Rent otherwise due under this Agreement. Payments shall be applied first to any collection costs that may be due, second to interest due and lastly to reduction of the outstanding principal amount. In addition to any other remedies that may be applicable, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, the Amount Financed, and the balance thereof from time to time, together with interest thereon, shall be subject to full acceleration at the option of the Landlord.
44.3 If, prior to the respective date of exercise thereof, (a)(i) no Event of Default shall have occurred or (ii) if any Event of Default shall have occurred, the Tenant shall have previously cured it in full or the Landlord shall have waived it and (b) if there shall not have been a History of Recurring Events of Default, at any time and from time to time (but not more frequently than once in any period of 12 months) during the Initial Term, the Tenant shall have the right, exercisable exclusively at the time and in the manner set forth below in subsection 44.4 of this Agreement, to require that the Landlord (subject to any similar obligations of the Landlord to any tenants of Other Leased Premises at the time such notice is
54
received and provided that the Landlord is not negotiating with another prospective tenant or existing tenant of Other Leased Premises for such Available Space in the Building at the time that such notice is received) whenever the Landlord becomes aware that the entire tenth floor (subject to the conditions stated below) or the entire eleventh floor of the Building is Available Space, give notice to the Tenant offering to lease such space to the Tenant at the Market Rental Rate then in effect (and specifying same for a term commencing and expiring on the respective dates set forth in the Landlord’s notice, and the Tenant shall have the right, exercisable exclusively at the time and in the manner set forth below in subsection 44.5 of this Agreement, to accept such gross rentable floor space at the Market Rental Rate so specified for a term commencing on the date set forth in the Landlord’s notice and continuing for the greater of (a) the balance of the Initial Term, or (b) five (5) years. Such requirement on the Landlord shall commence on the 10th day after the Tenant shall have timely and otherwise properly given each such notice to the Landlord and shall continue in effect until the earlier of: (i) the Tenant’s timely and otherwise proper acceptance of any such offer made by the Landlord or (ii) the Tenant’s failure to timely and otherwise properly accept any such offer made by the Landlord. This is the “Right to Lease Additional Space.” The Right to Lease Additional Space shall apply to the tenth floor of the Building only if the Tenant either (a) exercises the Right to Lease Additional Space with respect to both the entire tenth and eleventh floors, or (b) has previously entered into a lease with the Landlord for the entire eleventh floor of the Building. The Right to Lease Additional Space may not be exercised by any person other than the Tenant or an Affiliate of the Tenant to whom the Tenant has assigned this Agreement in accordance with the provisions of subsection 17.6 of this Agreement.
44.4 The Tenant shall exercise its right to require the Landlord to give the notices and make the offers contemplated by subsection 44.3 of this Agreement by giving timely and otherwise proper notice to the Landlord of its desire to lease additional space.
44.5 The Tenant shall exercise its right to accept any Landlord’s offer of additional space contemplated by subsection 44.3 of this Agreement, by giving notice of acceptance to the Landlord within twelve (12) business days after the Landlord gives notice of the offer to the Tenant. All additional space leased by the Tenant pursuant to the exercise of any Right to Lease Additional Space shall be taken AS IS. If the Tenant fails timely to accept any offer of the Landlord, its Right to Lease Additional Space shall thereupon terminate. In the event that the Tenant exercises its right to accept any Landlord’s offer of additional space contemplated by subsection 44.3 of this Agreement, and the expiration date of the term for the Additional Leased Premises is subsequent to the expiration date of the Initial Term for the Initial Leased Premises, then the Tenant
55
shall have the option to extend the term of the Initial Term for the Initial Leased Premises for such an additional term (which additional term shall commence on the date which is immediately subsequent to the end of the Initial Term) such that the expiration date of the Initial Term for the Initial Leased Premises shall be the same as the expiration date of the term for the Additional Leased Premises. The annual rate of Basic Rent for the Initial Leased Premises during such additional term shall be at the Market Rental Rate then in effect as specified by the Landlord. Said option to extend the term of the Initial Term of the Initial Leased Premises may be exercised by the Tenant by giving notice of the exercise of said option simultaneously with the giving of notice by the Tenant of the exercise of its option to accept the Landlord’s offer for such additional space as set forth in this subsection 44.5. In the event that the Tenant exercises the option set forth in this subsection 44.5 to extend the term of the Initial Term for the Initial Leased Premises prior to that date which is immediately prior to the seven (7) year anniversary of the Commencement Date, then all time periods set forth in section 6 of this Agreement shall be moved ahead one day for each day that the term of the Initial Term for the Initial Leased Premises is extended pursuant to this subsection 44.5.
44.6 If (a)(i) no Event of Default shall have occurred or (ii) if an Event of Default shall have occurred, the Tenant shall have previously cured it in full or the Landlord shall have waived it and (b) if there shall not have been a History of Recurring Events of Default, the amount of the Security Deposit required as set forth in section 29.1 of this Agreement shall be reduced as follows as provided in either 44.6.1 or 44.6.2, whichever is applicable:
44.6.1 if the Tenant elects to require the Landlord to finance any of the costs as described and provided in subsection 44.2 of this Agreement, then:
44.6.1.1 as of the first day of the forty second (42nd) calendar month following the Commencement Date, the amount of the Security Deposit required as set forth in section 29.1 of this Agreement shall be reduced to $853,440.00;
44.6.1.2 as of the first day of the sixty sixth (66th) calendar month immediately following the Commencement Date, the amount of the Security Deposit required as set forth in section 29.1 of this Agreement shall be reduced to $568,960.00; and
44.6.1.3 as of the first day of the ninetieth (90th) calendar month immediately following the Commencement Date, the amount of the Security Deposit required as set forth in section 29.1 of this Agreement shall be reduced to $284,480.00.
44.6.2 if the Tenant does not elect to require the
56
Landlord to finance any of the costs as described and provided in subsection 44.2 of this Agreement, then:
44.6.2.1 as of the first day of the thirtieth (30th) calendar month following the Commencement Date, the amount of the Security Deposit required as set forth in section 29.1 of this Agreement shall be reduced to $853,440.00;
44.6.2.2 as of the first day of the fifty fourth (54th) calendar month immediately following the Commencement Date, the amount of the Security Deposit required as set forth in section 29.1 of this Agreement shall be reduced to $568,960.00; and
44.6.2.3 as of the first day of the seventy eighth (78th) calendar month immediately following the Commencement Date, the amount of the Security Deposit required as set forth in section 29.1 of this Agreement shall be reduced to $284,480.00.
44.7 If, prior to the respective date of exercise thereof, (a)(i) no Event of Default shall have occurred or (ii) if any Event of Default shall have occurred, the Tenant shall have previously cured it in full or the Landlord shall have waived it and (b) if there shall not have been a History of Recurring Events of Default, the Landlord hereby grants to the Tenant a non-exclusive license:
44.7.1 during the term, at its sole cost and expense, to install, maintain and replace a single satellite dish antenna and associated equipment (the “Antenna”) on the roof of the Building at such functional working location to be approved by the Landlord in its sole discretion (the “Licensed Area”) in accordance with a Tenant Plan regarding the installation (or, when applicable, the replacement) of the Antenna; and
44.7.1.1 during the Term to use and operate the Antenna exclusively for the Licensed Use (as hereinafter defined);
44.7.1.2 upon termination of the Term, to remove the Antenna from the Licensed Area (except as otherwise set forth in Section 21 of this Agreement) and restore: (i) any portions of the Licensed Area, the Building and the Property damaged in the process and (ii) the Licensed Area substantially to its condition immediately prior to the commencement of the Term, reasonable wear and use excepted; and
44.7.1.3 have such access to the Licensed Area as may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.
44.7.2 The Landlord is making the Licensed Area available to the Tenant under the license granted hereby in the Licensed Area’s present “AS IS” condition. The Landlord makes no warranty or representation that the Licensed Area is suitable for
57
the Licensed Use. The Tenant shall make whatever examination and study it deems necessary or appropriate to ascertain whether the Licensed Area is suitable for the Tenant’s Licensed Use. The License granted hereby is not exclusive; and the Landlord hereby reserves for itself and for its rooftop manager, if any, the right to grant, renew or extend similar or dissimilar licenses to any and all other persons. The Tenant’s availing itself of any rights or incurring any obligations under or in connection with the license granted hereby shall be exclusively at the Tenant’s expense and risk. The Tenant shall use the Antenna exclusively for telecommunications purposes to serve the Leased Premises (the “Licensed Use”). During the License, the Tenant shall: (i) maintain and repair both the Antenna and the Licensed Area; (ii) not damage the electrical or other systems or the structure of the Building or the Property or that of any tenant of Other Leased Premises in the course of installation, maintenance, operation, replacement, or removal of the Antenna; (iii) not permit or suffer the Antenna to interfere with the communications, data or video wires or cables of any other person or the signals carried thereby or by electromagnetic broadcast or with the computer equipment of any other person; and (iv) comply with all applicable Federal, state and local statutes, rules, regulations and ordinances and with rulings and orders of any governmental authority with jurisdiction regarding the Antenna or its installation, replacement, maintenance, removal or use. Prior to installation, the Tenant shall provide the Landlord with one complete copy of each of the Antenna’s full specifications, installation manual, operational manual and any other manual provided by the manufacturer or installer and intended for the end user.
44.7.3 If the Tenant Plan shall require penetration of the Building’s roof for the installation of the satellite dish antenna (which shall not exceed 36-inch diameter) and related wiring, the Tenant shall cause its general contractor to subcontract with a so-called “bonded” roofing subcontractor (i.e. a contractor approved by the manufacturer of the Building’s roof system) approved by the Landlord for any roof penetration and restoration work (including any restoration required by section 21 of this Agreement in connection with removal of same) for the purpose of preserving unimpaired any roof warranties and service agreements in effect for the benefit of the Landlord and its general contractor. The Tenant shall cause the Tenant Plan to show the installation of rooftop walkways between the Building’s nearest roof access and the equipment or lines installed for the purpose of obviating wear and tear on the roof by contractors and technicians servicing the equipment or lines from time to time and shall cause them to be installed; and, again utilizing a “bonded” roofing contractor, the Tenant shall restore the roof in a good and workmanlike manner to the condition it was in prior to the penetration, achieving full weatherproofing in the area of the penetration. Upon termination of the Term, the Tenant shall, again utilizing a “bonded” roofing contractor, remove the satellite dish and related wiring and restore the roof in a good and workmanlike manner to the condition it was in prior to the penetration, achieving full weatherproofing in the area of the
58
penetration.
44.7.4 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this subsection 44.7, the Tenant shall:
44.7.4.1 be limited to a maximum of one roof
penetration;
44.7.4.2 not install any satellite dish of such a size and weight that, in the reasonable opinion of the Landlord’s structural engineer, would require any structural reinforcement of the building or any of its components.
44.7.4.3 pay the Landlord in addition to all other Rent due under this Agreement the following amount(s) per month of the Term: (i) $100.00 for a satellite dish antenna up to 18 inches in diameter or width, (ii) $200.00 for a satellite dish antenna over 18 inches and not more than 36 inches in diameter or width, or (iii) $500.00 for a satellite dish antenna over 36 inches in diameter or width.
44.7.5 The Tenant shall, upon request of the Landlord, work directly with the Landlord’s rooftop manager in connection with the rights and obligations set forth in this subsection 44.7.
44.8 As further consideration for the Tenant to enter into this Agreement, if (a)(i) no Event of Default shall have occurred or (ii) if an Event of Default shall have occurred, the Tenant shall have previously cured it in full or the Landlord shall have waived it and (b) if there shall not have been a History of Recurring Events of Default, the Landlord shall, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, pay such rent obligations of the Tenant under the Tenant’s Current Lease as set forth below for the balance of the initial term of the Tenant’s Current Lease which accrue on and after the Commencement Date, up to the aggregate maximum amount of Five Hundred Thirty Nine Thousand ($539,000.00) Dollars subject to adjustment as follows (“Maximum Amount”): (a) The Maximum Amount shall be increased by the amount of One Thousand Four Hundred Sixty Seven ($1,467.00) Dollars for each day by which the Commencement Date precedes November 1, 2002; and (b) The Maximum Amount shall be decreased by the amount of One Thousand Four Hundred Sixty Seven ($1,467.00) Dollars for each day by which the Commencement Date occurs later than November 1, 2002.

44.8.2.1 in the event that a judgment issued by a court of competent jurisdiction provides for the acceleration of the rent due under the Tenant’s Current Lease as such damages, the Landlord shall pay such accelerated rent (pertaining only to rent accruing subsequent to the Commencement Date) when due and payable, provided that the Tenant shall have first paid to the Landlord, in accordance with section 29.2 of this Agreement, an amount of security deposit (in addition to the amount of security deposit as set forth in section 29.1 of this Agreement) equal to the amount of accelerated rent to be paid by the Landlord as damages. If (a)(i) no Event of Default shall have occurred or (ii) if an Event of Default shall have occurred, the Tenant shall have previously cured it in full or the Landlord shall have waived it and (b) if there shall not have been a History of Recurring Events of Default, the amount of such additional Security Deposit required as set forth in this subsection 44.8.2.1 shall be reduced by the amount of Forty Four Thousand ($44,000.00) Dollars after each thirty (30) day period following the payment of such security deposit; and

60
to fulfill its obligations under subsections 44.8.1.1, 44.8.1.2, 44.8.1.3 or 44.8.1.4 of this Agreement or based upon the abandonment by the Tenant of the leased premises under the Tenant’s Current Lease as may be alleged by the landlord of the Tenant’s Current Lease, provided, however, that in the event that the landlord of the Tenant’s Current Lease institutes such lawsuit, the Landlord may, by notice to the Tenant, participate therein and, to the extent it may desire, assume the defense thereof through counsel selected by the Landlord.

In the event that the Tenant defaults under or is breach of the Tenant’s Current Lease other than as a result of the Landlord’s failure to perform its obligations under subsections 44.8.1.1, 44.8.1.2, 44.8.1.3 or 44.8.1.4 of this Agreement or as a result of the abandonment of the leased premises under the Tenant’s Current Lease, the Landlord shall be relieved of its obligations under this subsection 44.8.

Upon the assignment of the Tenant’s interest in the Tenant’s Current Lease, the Landlord shall have no obligations under this subsection 44.8 to
61

The Landlord shall be entitled to receive all rents and other consideration received or due and payable from any sublessee of the subject leased premises of the Tenant’s Current Lease to the extent that the Landlord has paid the rental obligations set forth in subsection 44.8.1 of this Agreement and the Tenant shall pay over to the Landlord any such rents or other consideration received from any such sublessee within ten (10) days after its receipt by the Tenant.

44.9 Subject to the Landlord’s review and approval of the Tenant Plan therefor, the Tenant shall have the right to cut through the floor plate of the fourteenth floor of the Building within the Initial Leased Premises to construct and install one set of stairs between the twelfth and the fourteenth floors of the Building within the Initial Leased Premises, provided that upon termination of the Term, or at any other time at which the Landlord, by virtue of any provision of this Agreement or otherwise has the right to re-enter and re-take possession of the Leased Premises, the Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, remove such stairs and any other alterations, improvements and other modifications constructed or installed in connection therewith as set forth in the Tenant Plan, and restore to the same condition as existing as of the date hereof, including, but

If there is no available space in such existing risers or chases for telecommunications or data processing conduits or cables, then Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, subject to the prior review and reasonable approval of a Tenant Plan furnished by the Tenant, may construct and install new risers or chases in the Common Facilities between the Leased Premises and other portions of the Building for its non-exclusive use for the installation and maintenance of conduits, cables and other devices for telecommunications and data processing serving the Leased Premises.

63

44.12 Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if (a)(i) no Event of Default shall have occurred or (ii) if any Event of Default shall have occurred, the Tenant shall have previously cured it in full and the Landlord shall have waived it, and (b) in the event the Landlord shall have failed to achieve Substantial Completion of the Tenant’s Buildout on or before that date which is nine (9) months after the issuance by the Municipality of full permitting, including, but not limited to, building, electrical, plumbing and fire, for Tenant’s Buildout (exclusive of force majeure reasons and adjusted on a day for day basis as a result of Tenant Delay), then Tenant shall have the option, exercisable exclusively by written notice to the Landlord given within fourteen (14) days after the end of said nine (9) month period and before the Landlord shall have achieved Substantial Completion of the Tenant’s Buildout, to cancel this Agreement effective immediately. This is the “Option to Cancel”. In the event that the Tenant fails to timely and properly exercise the Option to Cancel, then this Lease shall remain in full force and effect.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this
64

EXHIBIT E
DEFINITIONS AND INDEX OF DEFINITIONS
In accordance with section 1 of the Agreement of which this exhibit is a part, throughout the Agreement the following terms and phrases shall have the meanings set forth or referred to below:
1 “Additional Leased Premises” means any portion of the interior of the Building (as viewed from the interior of the respective Additional Leased Premises) bounded by the interior sides of the unfinished floor and the finished ceiling on the applicable floor of the Building, the centers of all Common Walls and the exterior sides of all walls other than Common Walls that the Tenant may lease (other than the Initial Leased Premises) in the Building pursuant to the Tenant’s exercise of any Right to Lease Additional Space.
2 “Additional Rent” means all amounts, other than Basic Rent and any Security Deposit, required to be paid by the Tenant to the Landlord in accordance with this Agreement.
3 “Affiliate” of any person means a person controlling, controlled by, or under common control with, that person.
4 “Agreement” means this Lease and Lease Agreement (including exhibits), as it may have been amended.
5 “Allocable Share” means, when used in the context of maintenance and other charges and assessments of the Tower Center South Condominium Association, 33.3% of charges and assessments for maintenance of areas outside the Building and outside the other two buildings forming a part of the respective condominium units within the Tower Center South Condominium (with the exception of charges for maintenance of a utility line, if any, that serves only the Building, in which case 100% thereof) and 100% of charges and assessments for operation and maintenance of the garage areas in the Building; and means, when used in the context of the Tower Center North Condominium Association or the Upper Building Unit, none of the Tower Center North Condominium Association’s charges and other assessments to the Upper Building Unit (or successor condominium unit).
6 “Annual Amortized Capital Expenditure” means the payment amount determined as an annuity in arrears using the cost incurred by the Landlord for any Capital Expenditure (as said term is defined in this Agreement) as the present value, the number of years of its useful life (not exceeding ten (10) years) selected by the Landlord in accordance with generally applied
1
real estate accounting practice as the number of periods and the Base Rate in effect when the respective improvement is first placed into service plus two (2) additional percentage points as the annual rate of interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the purposes of calculating the Annual Amortized Capital Expenditure related to the cost incurred by the Landlord for any Capital Expenditure, the maximum amount of the cost of any such Capital Expenditure made by the Landlord which may be included by the Landlord in the calculation of the Annual Amortized Capital Expenditure for the Tenant in each calendar year during the Term shall not exceed the amount of Fifty ($0.50) Cents per square foot of rentable space in the Building ($0.50 x 405,006 rentable square feet = $202,503.00) for each such Capital Expenditure. By way of example, if the amount of the cost incurred by the Landlord for a new Capital Expenditure made by the Landlord in calendar year 2003 is $500,000.00 and such Capital Expenditure has a useful life of 10 years, the amount of such Capital Expenditure which may be included in the calculation of the Annual Amortized Capital Expenditure in each calendar year commencing with calendar year 2004 shall be $50,000.00 plus interest, and based upon the initial Tenant’s Share of 13.17%, the Tenant’s Share of such Annual Annualized Capital Expenditure would equal $6,585.00 plus interest; if the amount of the cost incurred by the Landlord for a new Capital Expenditure made by the Landlord in calendar year 2005 is $2,500,000.00 and the useful life of such Capital Expenditure is 10 years, the maximum amount of such new Capital Expenditure which may be included in the calculation of the Annual Amortized Capital Expenditure in each calendar year commencing with calendar year 2005 shall be $202,503.00, and based upon the initial Tenant’s Share of 13.17%, the Tenant’s Share of such Annual Annualized Capital Expenditure would equal $26,669.65. Therefore, assuming that the above examples were the only Capital Expenditures made by the Landlord in calendar years 2003 through 2005 respectively, the Tenant’s Share of the total Annual Amortized Capital Expenditures in calendar year 2005 would then equal the aggregate amount of $6,585.00 plus interest plus $26,669.65.
7 “Available Space” means, when used in the context of the Right to Lease Additional Space, Other Leased Premises that will become available for lease to others, generally and without limitation or restriction, due to the termination of the term of the lease with its then present tenant and the tenant’s unwillingness to renew or otherwise extend the term, regardless of whether any such renewal or other extension is pursuant to a renewal or extension right or option set forth in the then present tenant’s lease, or not.

AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO LEASE AND LEASE AGREEMENT
AMENDMENT NO. 1, dated as of October 18, 2002, between SCV PARTNERS, a New Jersey general partnership, with offices at c/o Boston Properties at 000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx, Xxx Xxxxxx 00000 (the “Landlord”), and BIO-TECHNOLOGY GENERAL CORP., a Delaware corporation, with its principal office at 00 Xxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxxxx 00000 (“Tenant”), to the LEASE AND LEASE AGREEMENT, dated as of June 11, 2002, between SCV Partners, a New Jersey general partnership, and Bio-Technology General Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Lease”).
Background. Pursuant to the Lease, the Landlord is obligated to pay certain rental obligations of the Tenant under the Tenant’s Current Lease. The Landlord and the Tenant desire that in lieu of said Landlord’s obligations, the Landlord shall increase the amount of tenant improvement allowance available to the Tenant under the Lease. The purpose of this Amendment is to set forth the terms and conditions of the foregoing.
1 Certain terms and phrases (generally those whose first letters are capitalized) that are defined in the Lease shall retain their definitions set forth in the Lease, except to the extent they may be deleted or modified in this Amendment.
2 The Landlord and the Tenant hereby amend the Lease as follows, subject to all the terms and conditions set forth below:
2.1 Subsection 44.8 of the Lease is hereby amended by deleting it in its entirety and substituting the following therefor:
44.8 If (a)(i) no Event of Default shall have occurred or (ii) if an Event of Default shall have occurred, the Tenant shall have previously cured it in full or the Landlord shall have waived it, (b) if there shall not have been a History of Recurring Events of Default, and (c) the Tenant no longer occupies or uses any portion of the leased premises subject to the Tenant’s Current Lease to conduct the Tenant’s business within ten (10) days after the Commencement Date, the Landlord shall, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, increase the amount of $1,333,500.00 as set forth in subsection 44.1 of this Agreement, by the amount of Five Hundred Thirty Nine Thousand ($539,000.00) Dollars (“Additional TIA”). The amount of $539,000.00 is calculated based upon the Tenant no longer occupying or using any portion of the leased premises subject to the Tenant’s Current Lease to conduct the Tenant’s business on or before November 11, 2002. The Additional TIA
1
shall be subject to adjustment as follows: (a) The Additional TIA shall be increased by the amount of One Thousand Four Hundred Sixty Seven ($1,467.00) Dollars for each day by which the date on which the Tenant no longer occupies or uses any portion of the leased premises subject to the Tenant’s Current Lease to conduct the Tenant’s business precedes November 1, 2002; and (b) The Additional TIA shall be decreased by the amount of One Thousand Four Hundred Sixty Seven ($1,467.00) Dollars for each day by which the date on which the Tenant no longer occupies or uses any portion of the leased premises subject to the Tenant’s Current Lease to conduct the Tenant’s business occurs later than November 11, 2002. The Additional TIA, as adjusted herein, shall be effective (i.e., shall be added to the amount of $1,333,500.00 as set forth in subsection 44.1 of this Agreement) upon the Tenant notifying the Landlord as to the date on which the Tenant no longer occupies or uses any portion of the leased premises subject to the Tenant’s Current Lease to conduct the Tenant’s business.
44.8.1 As consideration for the obligations of the Landlord under subsection 44.8 of this Agreement, the Tenant shall pay to the Landlord, fifty (50%) percent of the following amounts:
44.8.1.1 all rents and other consideration received from any sublessee, licensee or other occupant of the subject leased premises of the Tenant’s Current Lease, within ten (10) days after its receipt by the Tenant;
44.8.1.2 all amounts saved by the Tenant resulting from the termination of the Tenant’s Current Lease prior to its current scheduled expiration date of October 31, 2003, within ten (10) days after the effective date of such termination. The Tenant shall provide the Landlord with the calculations of such savings together with said payment; and
44.8.1.3 all amounts saved by the Tenant resulting from the re-negotiation of the terms of the Tenant’s Current Lease which are more favorable to the Tenant or resulting from the release of the Tenant by the landlord of the Tenant’s Current Lease from any other obligations of the Tenant to said landlord, within ten (10) days after the effective date of an amendment or other document containing such re-negotiated terms or release. The Tenant shall provide the Landlord with the calculations of such savings together with said payment; and
44.8.1.4 all amounts saved by the Tenant resulting from the assignment by the Tenant to a third party of
2
all the Tenant’s right, title and interest in and to the Tenant’s Current Lease, within ten (10) days after the effective date of such assignment. The Tenant shall provide the Landlord with the calculations of such savings together with said payment.
44.8.2 As a condition to the Landlord performing its obligations under this subsection 44.8, the Tenant shall execute and deliver to the Landlord, on the date on which the Tenant no longer occupies or uses any portion of the leased premises subject to the Tenant’s Current Lease to conduct the Tenant’s business, the Tenant’s Certificate dated as of such date, containing the terms and in the form of Exhibit G attached hereto. The Landlord may, at its option, confirm the date on which the Tenant no longer occupies or uses any portion of the leased premises subject to the Tenant’s Current Lease to conduct the Tenant’s business by conducting an inspection of said leased premises. Within one (1) business day after the Landlord requests, the Tenant shall provide to the Landlord access to said leased premises for the purpose of such inspection.
2.2 Paragraph 8 of Exhibit G to the Lease is hereby amended by deleting it in its entirety and substituting the following therefor:
“8. on this date there are no existing defenses or offsets, claims or counterclaims which the undersigned has against the enforcement of said Lease by the Landlord. No event has occurred and no condition exists, which with the giving of notice or the passage of time, or both, will constitute a monetary default under the Lease; and”
3 As amended by this Amendment, the Lease continues in full force and effect as the Agreement.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this
3
Amendment to be executed as of the date first above written.
