W I T N E S S E T H :
WHEREAS, Tenant entered into a lease with Landlord dated October 25, 2017 (the “Original Lease”) for Leased Premises located on the second floor of 520 US Highway 22, Bridgewater, New Jersey (the “Building”) as more particularly described in the Lease; and
WHEREAS, the parties have agreed to amend the Lease to add an additional 4,639 square feet (the “Added Premises”) and to extend the Term in accordance with the terms set forth below;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and for other good and valuable consideration, the parties have agreed to amend the Lease as follows:
1. LEASE CONTINUES IN FORCE
Words not defined in this First Amendment shall have the meanings specified in the Lease. Except as amended by the provisions of this First Amendment, the Original Lease shall otherwise remain in full force and effect.

2. | ADDITION OF PREMISES |
2.1. Plans for the preparation of the Added Premises and for modification of the existing Leased Premises dated February 12, 2019 have been prepared by C.G. Albrecht Architect A.I.A. (the “Tenant Plan”). Landlord shall perform a turnkey installation based upon the Tenant Plan and the specifications (“Landlord’s Work”). Landlord’s Work shall include the items specified in Exhibit B. Landlord’s Work shall not include any specialized installations such as computer, data and telephone lines. All communications, data, computer and internet access facilities, including cabling, wiring, raceways, infrastructure, IT room(s), conduits, punch-downs, terminations, junction boxes and ancillary devices and materials, as required, including final hook-ups shall be installed by Tenant, at its expense. All such Tenant’s work shall be done in compliance with the requirements of section 12 of the Original Lease.
2.2. Beginning on the date that preparation of the Added Premises and the existing Leased Premises in accordance with the Tenant Plan is substantially completed (except for minor details of construction, decoration and mechanical adjustments, the non-completion of which do not materially interfere with the use and enjoyment of the Leased Premises by Tenant (the “Added Premises Commencement Date” or “APCD”), the Added Premises, as more particularly shown on Exhibit A annexed hereto, shall be added to the existing Leased Premises defined in the Original Lease and, from and after the Added Premises Commencement Date, the Added Premises shall (i) constitute a part of the Leased Premises, and (ii) be governed by all the terms and provisions of the Original Lease. For the avoidance of doubt, minor details of construction, decoration and mechanical adjustments shall not prevent substantial completion.
2.3. Following the execution of this First Amendment, Landlord shall use reasonable commercial efforts to perform Landlord’s Work to reach the Added Premises Commencement Date no later than August 1, 2019. Landlord’s Work shall be done during Regular Business Hours using reasonable commercial efforts to minimize any material disruption or interruption of Tenant’s use. Tenant shall reasonably cooperate with Landlord in the performance of the Landlord’s Work. Tenant, in a timely manner, shall move all desks, chairs, telephones, computers and other possessions in the existing Leased Premises, and to do all things reasonably necessary, to allow the Landlord’s Work to proceed in a timely and orderly manner. In the event the Landlord does not deliver the Added Premises by September 1, 2019 then Landlord shall provide Tenant with a rent abatement valued to be the prorated Basic Rent for the Added Premises for each day delivery is delayed beyond August 1, 2019 provided that if the actions or inactions of Tenant delay the performance of Landlord’s Work the abatement shall be reduced by one day for each day of delay caused by Tenant’s actions or inactions.
2.4. Tenant shall pay Landlord $25,000 to reimburse Landlord for a portion of the costs incurred by Landlord (the “Reimbursement”). The Reimbursement shall be paid to the Landlord in equal monthly installments of $694 which shall be payable together with the Basic Rent on the first day of each month during the Extended Term. No interest shall be charged unless the payments are not made in a timely manner. If, for any reason, Landlord anticipates that it will be required to incur additional costs to complete the Landlord Work, Landlord shall consult with Tenant prior to incurring any such costs and the parties shall reasonably agree on any additional amount to be paid by Tenant to Landlord for the completion of the Landlord Work.

3.1. The Term of the Lease for the entire Leased Premises shall be extended for thirty-six (36) months (the “Extended Term”) from the Added Premises Commencement Date. If the Added Premises Commencement Date is not the first day of a calendar month then the Extended Term shall run during the month in which the Added Premises Commencement Date occurs and for thirty-six (36) months from the first day of the following month.
. 3.2 If, prior to the respective 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 and the Landlord shall have waived it and (b) there shall not have been a History of Recurring Events of Default, Tenant is hereby granted one option to renew this Lease (the “Option to Renew”) upon the following terms and conditions:

3.2.4. | Subject to the last sentence of this paragraph, the amount of annual Basic Rent to be paid during the Renewal Term shall equal the Market Rental Rate of the Leased Premises if the same were available for lease to the public. If the parties are unable to agree on the Market Rental Rate of the Leased Premises, the parties shall resolve such dispute within forty-five (45) days of the notice of the Option to Renew by the following procedure: each party shall appoint one appraiser who shall in turn appoint a third independent appraiser and the determination of said three appraisers shall be binding on the parties. In no event, however, shall the annual Basic Rent payable by Tenant during the Renewal Term be less than the annual Basic Rent paid by Tenant during the immediately preceding twelve months. |
