Except as otherwise set forth in the immediately succeeding paragraph of this Section 1.10, nothing herein contained shall be construed to include as a Real Estate Tax any inheri­ tance, estate, succession, transfer, gift, franchise, corporation, income or profit tax that is or may be imposed upon Landlord; provided, however, that, if at any time during the Lease Term the methods of taxation prevailing at the commencement of the Lease Term shall be altered so that in lieu of or as a substitute for the whole or any part of the taxes now levied, assessed or imposed, there shall be levied, assessed or imposed an income or other tax of whatever nature, then the same shall be included in the computation of Real Estate Taxes hereunder. As used in this Lease, the term "Tenant's Pro-rata Share of Complex Operating Costs" shall include any excise, transaction, sales or privilege tax hereafter imposed by any government or governmental agency upon Landlord on account of, attributed to, or measured by rent or other charges payable by Tenant, or levied by reason of the public parking made available by Landlord in the Industrial Center.

(xxi) the cost of any work for which Landlord is fully reimbursed by another tenant of the Industrial Center; and

any costs that are reimbursed or refunded to Landlord pursuant to any warranty or insurance policy concerning the Industrial Center.

Section 4.5. Net Lease. It is the intention of the parties that the rent payable hereunder shall be absolutely net to Landlord, so that this Lease shall yield to Landlord the net annual basic Minimum Rent specified herein during the term of this Lease, and that all costs, expenses and obligations of every kind and nature whatsoever relating to the Demised Premises shall be paid by Tenant and shall be deemed to be and shall become Additional Rent hereunder whether or not the same be designated as such.

Section 4.6. Utility Service Charges. Tenant shall pay all utility charges in accordance with the provisions of Article 8.

Section 4.7. Taxes. Commencing with the Commencement Date and continuing thereafter during the term of this Lease, Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord on the first day of each month, in advance, and without deduction or set-off except as expressly set forth herein, Tenant 's Pro-rata Share of Real Estate Taxes. Tenant’s initial monthly charge for Real Estate Taxes shall be based on Landlord's estimate of Real Estate Taxes, written notice of which charge for the initial tax year (as that term is hereinafter defined) shall be furnished to Tenant at or around the Commencement Date. Such monthly charge may be periodically adjusted by Landlord to more accurately reflect Tenant's Pro-rata Share of Real Estate Taxes.

Within ninety (90) days of receipt of the tax bills for each tax year, Landlord shall mail to Tenant a statement setting forth the Real Estate Taxes and the amount of Tenant’s Pro-rata Share of Real Estate Taxes. Tenant's Pro-rata Share of Real Estate Taxes paid or payable for each tax year during the Lease Term shall be adjusted between Landlord and Tenant, each party hereby agreeing to pay to the other, within thirty (30) days of the mailing of the aforesaid statement to Tenant, such amount as may be necessary to effect Tenant's Pro-rata Share of Real Estate Taxes based upon actual amounts due. The term "tax year" as used herein shall mean the twelve-month










period established as the real estate tax year by the taxing authorities having jurisdiction over the
Industrial Center.

Should Tenant's obligation for the payment of Real Estate Taxes pursuant to this Lease originate or terminate for less than a full tax year, Tenant's liability for Real Estate Taxes shall be subject to a pro rata adjustment based on the number of months of said tax year for which Tenant's obligation to pay Real Estate Taxes is in effect.

Landlord shall pay Real Estate Taxes on or before when same are due. Tenant shall pay promptly when due all taxes directly or indirectly imposed or assessed on Tenant's business operations, machinery, equipment, improvements, inventory and other personal property or assets, whether such taxes are assessed against Tenant, Landlord or the Industrial Center as a single entity. In the event that such taxes are imposed or assessed against Landlord or the Industrial Center, Landlord, upon request, shall furnish Tenant with all applicable tax bills, public charges and other assessments or impositions.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall pay during the Lease Term its pro-rata share of water and sewer charges for the Industrial Center. These charges shall be billed in a manner similar to that set forth above for Real Estate Taxes.

Section 4.8. Insurance Premiums. In addition to paying Tenant's Pro-rata Share of Landlord's insurance premiums as part of Tenant’s Pro-rata Share of Complex Operating Costs, Tenant agrees to pay, within thirty (30) days after demand, any increase in premiums that may be charged on insurance carried by Landlord resulting from Tenant's use or occupancy of the Demised Premises or the Industrial Center (the "Insurance Premium Charge"). In determining whether increased premiums are the result of Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Demised Premises, a schedule or "make-up" rate of the organization issuing the fire insurance, extended coverage, vandalism and malicious mischief, special extended coverage or any all-risk insurance rates for the Demised Premises or Industrial Center or any rule books issued by the rating organization or similar bodies or rating procedures or rules of Landlord's insurance companies shall be conclusive evidence of the several items and charges which make up the insurance rates and premiums on the Demised Premises and the Industrial Center. If due to the Tenant's failure to occupy the Demised Premises, as herein provided, any such insurance shall be canceled by the insurance carrier, then Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless against any loss which would have been covered by such insurance. Tenant also shall pay any increase in premiums on rent insurance as may be carried by Landlord for its protection against rent loss through fire or other casualty, if such increase shall result from Tenant's occupancy or failure to occupy.

Section 4.9. A. Tenant or its usual auditors of its normal books and records (provided same are certified public accountants and are not compensated on a contingent basis) in each case at Tenant's expense (except as otherwise set forth in this Section 4.9), shall have the right to examine those portions of Landlord's records (the "Records") which are reasonably required to verify the accuracy of any amounts shown on any Operating Costs Statement provided Tenant shall notify Landlord of its desire to so examine such records within ninety (90) days next following rendition to Tenant of such Operating Costs Statement. Upon Tenant's timely request, Landlord shall make such Records available and any such examination shall be conducted at the office of Landlord's accountants or at such other reasonable place designated by Landlord during










normal office hours. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that not more than three (3) of its employees or three (3) persons employed by such auditors shall be entitled to entry to the offices of Landlord at any one time for the purposes of such review and inspection. Tenant hereby recognizes the confidential, privileged and proprietary nature of such Records and the information and data contained therein, as well as any compromise, settlement or adjustment reached between Landlord and Tenant relating to the results of such examination, and Tenant covenants and agrees for itself, and its employees, agents and representatives (including, but not limited to, such auditors, and any attorneys or consultants retained by Tenant as hereinafter provided), that such books, Records, information, data, compromise, settlement and adjustment which are identified to Tenant or its auditors as confidential will be held in confidence and not be divulged, disclosed or revealed to any other person except (x) to the extent required by law, court order or directive of any governmental authority or (y) to such auditors or any attorneys retained by Tenant or consultants retained by Tenant in connection with any action or proceeding between Landlord and Tenant as to Complex Operating Costs or any Operating Costs Statement and no examination of any such Records shall be permitted unless and until such auditors, attorneys and consultants affirmatively agree and consent to be bound by the confidentiality provisions of this Section 4.9. This obligation of Tenant and its employees, agents and representatives (including, but not limited to, any such auditors, attorneys or consultants) shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of the Lease Term.

B. In the event that Tenant, after having reasonable opportunity to examine the Records (but in no event more than ninety (90) days from the date on which the Records are made available to Tenant), shall disagree with the applicable Operating Costs Statement, then Tenant may send a written notice ("Tenant's Statement") to Landlord of such disagreement, specifying in reasonable detail the basis for Tenant's disagreement and the specific amount which Tenant believes is due. If Tenant fails to send Tenant's Statement to Landlord within such ninety (90) day period, then the Operating Costs Statement shall be conclusive and binding upon Tenant. In all instances, Tenant, pending the resolution of any contest pursuant to the terms hereof, shall continue to pay all sums as determined to be due in the first instance by such Operating Costs Statement at the time the same are otherwise due and payable under the provisions in this Lease, subject to adjustment upon the resolution of any dispute pursuant to the last sentence of this paragraph. Landlord and Tenant shall attempt to resolve such disagreement. If they are unable to do so within thirty (30) days following delivery of Tenant's Statement, then Landlord and Tenant shall agree upon a certified public accountant (the "Arbiter") whose determination made in accordance with this paragraph shall be binding upon the parties. The cost of the Arbiter shall be borne equally by Landlord and Tenant (unless the Complex Operating Expenses were overstated by more than four percent (4%), in which case Landlord shall bear the full cost of the Arbiter). The Arbiter shall be a member of an independent certified public accounting firm having at least three (3) accounting professionals and having at least fifteen (15) years of experience in commercial real estate accounting. In the event that Landlord and Tenant shall be unable to agree upon the designation of the Arbiter within thirty (30) days after receipt of notice from the other party requesting agreement as to the designation of the Arbiter, which notice shall contain the names and addresses of two or more certified public accountants who are acceptable to the party sending such notice (any one of whom, if acceptable to the party receiving such notice as shall be evidenced by notice given by the receiving party to the other party within such thirty (30) day period, shall be the agreed upon Arbiter), then either party shall have the right to request the American Arbitration Association (the "AAA") (or any organization which is the successor










thereto) to designate as the Arbiter a certified public accountant whose determination made in accordance with this paragraph shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties, and the cost charged by the AAA (or any organization which is the successor thereto), for designating such Arbiter, shall be shared equally by Landlord and Tenant. The Arbiter shall determine the issue and render its decision as promptly as practicable choosing either Landlord's or Tenant's determination as to the amount of Tenant's Pro-Rata Share of Complex Operating Costs due and payable to Landlord. Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that any determination made by an Arbiter designated pursuant to this paragraph shall not exceed the amount(s) as determined to be due in the first instance by the Operating Costs Statement, nor shall such determination be less than the amount(s) claimed to be due by Tenant in Tenant's Statement, and that any determination which does not comply with the foregoing shall be null and void and not binding on the parties. In rendering such determination such Arbiter shall not add to, subtract from or otherwise modify the provisions of this Lease, including the immediately preceding sentence. Until the resolution of such contest, Tenant shall timely pay Tenant's Pro-Rata Share of Complex Operating Costs as determined by Landlord. Upon the resolution of such contest, any suitable adjustments to the amounts due on account of Tenant’s Pro-Rata Share of Complex Operating Costs shall be made, with any appropriate refund to be made by Landlord to Tenant within thirty (30) days after the resolution of such contest if required thereby and any underpayment by Tenant to be paid to Landlord within thirty (30) days after resolution of such contest. If the Arbiter determines (or Landlord and Tenant otherwise agree) that Landlord's calculation of Complex Operating Costs for the calendar year under inspection was overstated by more than four percent (4%), then Landlord shall pay Tenant's actual reasonable out-of-pocket audit and inspection applicable to the review of said calendar year statement within thirty (30) days after receipt of Tenant's invoice therefor.

The parties expressly agree that this indemnification agreement contemplates (i) full indemnity in the event of liability imposed against Landlord and its lenders, managing agents and its and their respective members, partners, affiliates, principals, shareholders, officers, directors, members, trustees, fiduciaries, servants, agents and employees without negligence and solely by reason of statute, operation of law or otherwise; and (ii) partial indemnity in the event of any actual negligence on the part of Landlord and its lenders, managing agents and its and their respective members, partners, affiliates, principals, shareholders, officers, directors, members, trustees, fiduciaries, servants, agents and employees either causing or contributing to the underlying claim in which case, indemnification will be limited to any liability imposed over and above that percentage attributable to actual fault whether by statute, by operation of law, or otherwise.

Section 13.6. General Insurance Requirements.

(a)
The insurance and certificates required in subsections 13.2(a) through (c) above shall be endorsed (using form CG 2010 (11/85) or its equivalent) to include Landlord (and any other parties requested by Landlord) as an additional insured for the full amount of the insurance herein required, contain a Primary and not Contributory Endorsement, and confirm that such policy provides coverage for damages which the Tenant is obligated to pay by reason of the assumption of liability in the indemnity agreement(s) within this Lease. Each policy required to be maintained by Tenant or any Contractor/Vendor under this Lease shall contain an endorsement requiring the insurer to give Landlord (30) days' prior written notice of cancellations, nonrenewal of or material changes in such policy. With respect to each and every policy of such insurance required to be maintained by Tenant and each renewal thereof, Tenant, at least five (5) days prior to the beginning of the Lease Term (and prior to Tenant entering on the Demised Premises) and thereafter not less than twenty (20) days prior to the expiration of any such policy, shall furnish Landlord with a









certificate of insurance executed by the insurer evidencing the insurance required to be maintained by Tenant under this Lease.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, each party hereto, on behalf of itself and on behalf of anyone claiming under or through it by way of subrogation or otherwise, waives all rights and causes of action against the other party, and the officers, directors or employees of the other party, for any liability arising out of any loss or damage in or to the Building, the Demised Premises and their contents caused by

(1) any peril normally covered under "all-risk" or "Special Form" policies issued in the State of New Jersey (whether or not such party actually carries such insurance policies and without giving effect to any deductibles or self-insurance retainage), or

(2) if the scope of coverage is broader than in (1) above, then any peril actually covered under the insurance maintained by such party.

To the extent permitted by applicable laws, this release and waiver shall be complete and total even if such loss or damage may have been caused by the negligence of the other party, its officers, employees, agents, directors, contractors or invitees and shall not be affected or limited by the amount of insurance proceeds available to the waiving party, regardless of the reason for such deficiency in proceeds. If any additional charge or increase in premium is made by the insurer because of this waiver of subrogation, then the party in whose favor the waiver was obtained shall pay such additional charge or increase in premium; failure to pay the increase in premium will void the release and waiver benefiting such party but shall not affect the benefit of the corresponding release and waiver enjoyed by the other party. However, if one party's insurance carrier prohibits waiver of subrogation regardless of premium, then the other party's release and waiver shall become null and void, it being understood that in this instance each waiver is given in consideration for the other. Each party covenants that from and after the date possession of the Leased Premises is delivered to Tenant its property damage insurance policies will contain waiver of subrogation endorsements, and that if such endorsements, for any reason whatsoever, are about to become unavailable, it will give the other party not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice of such impending unavailability. In the event of such unavailability each party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to name the other party as an additional insured (but not loss payee) on its property damage insurance policies.

ARTICLE 14. FIRE INSURANCE. DAMAGE AND DESTRUCTION

At all times during the Lease Term, Landlord shall maintain in effect with a responsible insurance company or companies with an AM Best rating of A or better (or a comparable rating in the event that the AM Best rating is no longer published), policies of insurance covering the building of which the Demised Premises constitute a part, providing protection to the extent of not less than the full replacement cost of the Building against all casualties included under standard insurance industry practices within the classification "All Risk". Nothing in this Section shall prevent the taking out of policies of blanket insurance, which may cover real and/or personal property and improvements in addition to the building of which the Demised Premises constitutes a part; provided, however, that in all other respects each such policy shall comply with the other provisions of this Section 14.1.









Section 14.2. Tenant Insurance. At all times during the Lease Term, Tenant shall pay all premiums for and maintain in effect, with a responsible insurance company or companies with an AM Best rating of ANII or better (or a comparable rating in the event that the AM Best rating is no longer published) licensed to do business within the state in which the Industrial Center is located, policies of insurance for the benefit of Tenant, as follows:

(a) Insurance covering Tenant's trade fixtures, furniture, furnishings, equipment and other installations of Tenant not otherwise covered under Landlord's insurance coverage as described in Section 14.1 above, providing protection to the extent of not less than the full replacement cost thereof against all casualties included under standard insurance industry practices within the classification "All Risk" (including terrorism, flood and earthquake) and insurance covering sprinkler leakage, unless Tenant's insurance otherwise includes sprinkler leakage coverage.

(b) Plate glass insurance covering the plate glass in the Demised Premises; provided, however, Tenant may satisfy this requirement by self-insuring and in the event of damage or de­ struction to said plate glass immediately replacing same.

(c) Insurance covering the full replacement cost of any Tenant's Work against all casualties included under standard insurance industry practices within the classification "All Risk" which insurance shall be maintained, and under no circumstances terminated by Tenant.

In the event the proceeds received are not sufficient to fully restore the Demised Premises and Landlord elects not to fully restore the Demised Premises, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease upon notice to Landlord. In no event shall Landlord be required to insure Tenant's personal property, Tenant's Work or any work performed by Landlord on Tenant's behalf (other than Landlord's Work) and Landlord shall have no obligation to repair or restore the same.

Section 14.4. Lease Termination. If the Demised Premises (a) by reason of a loss are rendered untenantable or (b) should be damaged as a result of a risk which is not covered by Landlord's insurance or (c) should be damaged in whole or in part during the last twelve (12) months of the Lease Term or any renewal term thereof or (d) if any or all of the buildings or Common Facilities of the Industrial Center are damaged, whether or not the Demised Premises are damaged, to such an extent that the Industrial Center cannot, in the reasonable judgment of Landlord, be operated as an integral unit, then, or in any such event, Landlord may either elect to repair the damage or may cancel this Lease (provided if Landlord elects to cancel this Lease,









Landlord must have also elected to cancel or terminate all other similarly affected leases in the Building). Landlord shall give the Tenant written notice of its election to terminate or to continue the Lease within ninety (90) days after such event. In the event of termination, this Lease shall expire at the end of the calendar month in which such notice of termination is given, and Tenant shall vacate and surrender the Demised Premises to the Landlord. In the event of notice by Landlord that Landlord has elected to continue this Lease, Landlord and Tenant shall commence their respective obligations for repair as soon as is reasonably possible and prosecute the same to completion with all due diligence.

Section 14.5. Rent Abatement. The Minimum Rent and all Additional Rent shall be abated proportionately with the degree in which Tenant's use of the Demised Premises is impaired during the period of any damage, repair or restoration provided for in this Article 14; provided that in the event Landlord elects to repair the damage insurable under Landlord's policies, any abate­ ment of rent shall end five (5) days after notice by Landlord to Tenant that the Demised Premises have been repaired. Tenant shall continue the operation of its business on the Demised Premises during any such period to the extent reasonably practicable from the standpoint of prudent business management. Except for the abatement of Minimum Rent and Additional Rent hereinabove provided, Tenant shall not be entitled to any compensation or damage for loss in the use of the whole or any part of the Demised Premises and/or any inconvenience or annoyance occasioned by any damage, destruction, repair or restoration.

Section 14.6. Tenant Repairs. Unless this Lease is terminated by Landlord or Tenant, Tenant shall repair, restore and refixture all parts of the Demised Premises which Landlord is not obligated to restore pursuant to Section 14.3 in a manner and to a condition substantially equal to that existing prior to its destruction or casualty, including, but not by way of limitation, all exterior signs, trade fixtures, equipment, display cases, furniture, furnishings and other installations of personalty of Tenant.

Section 14.7. Tenant Termination Right. A. In the event (a) the Demised Premises or Building shall be damaged by fire or other casualty and Tenant shall be unable to use the Demised Premises for the Permitted Use (set forth in Section 1.9) or Tenant shall be denied reasonable access to the Demised Premises as a result of such damage and (b) Landlord shall give Tenant notice of its election to continue the Lease rather than terminate same pursuant to Section
14.4, then, if such damage is not repaired within the Casualty Restoration Period (as defined herein), Tenant shall have the following options:

(i) to give to Landlord, within ten (10) days next following the expiration of the Casualty Restoration Period, a five (5) days’ notice of termination of this Lease, or

(ii) to extend the Casualty Restoration Period for a further period of three (3) months by notice given to Landlord within ten (10) days after the expiration of the initial Casualty Restoration Period. In the event Tenant shall have given such notice to Landlord extending the initial Casualty Restoration Period and if such damage shall not have been repaired by Landlord within any extended Casualty Restoration Period, Tenant shall have the options to (a) further extend the Casualty Restoration Period for further successive periods of three (3) months, by notice given to Landlord within twenty (20) days after the expiration of any extended Casualty










Restoration Period or (b) to give Landlord, within twenty (20) days after the expiration of any such extended Casualty Restoration Period a five (5) days' notice of termination of this Lease.

The term "Casualty Restoration Period" shall mean twelve (12) months after the date of such fire or other casualty.

B. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the provisions of Subsection A of this Section 14.7, in the event (a) the Demised Premises or Building shall be damaged by fire or other casualty and Tenant shall be unable to use the Demised Premises as a result of such damage and (b) Landlord shall not exercise the right to terminate this Lease in accordance with the provisions of Section 14.4, and (c) Landlord, in the opinion of Landlord's independent architect, shall determine that the repair of such damage to the Demised Premises or Building will reasonably require a period longer than twelve (12)months, Landlord shall within ninety (90) days after the date of such fire or casualty, give a notice to Tenant extending the initial Casualty Restoration Period to the date upon which Landlord estimates that such repair to the Demised Premises or Building shall be completed. In the event Landlord shall give such a notice under this Subsection B, then, the initial Casualty Restoration Period set forth in Paragraph A of this Section 14.7, shall be so extended and (b) Tenant shall have the further option to give to Landlord a five (5) days' notice of termination of this Lease within twenty (20) days next following the giving of such notice under this Subsection B by Landlord to Tenant extending the initial Casualty Restoration Period.

C. Time is of the essence with respect to the giving by Tenant to Landlord of any notice in accordance with the provisions of Subsections A and B of this Section 14.7 and in the event that Tenant shall fail to give any such notice within the time periods set forth therein, Tenant shall be deemed to have given to Landlord a notice pursuant to subdivision (ii) of Subsection A of this Section 14.7 extending the Casualty Restoration Period provided, however, that any five (5) days' notice of termination given by Tenant pursuant to the provisions of Subsection A or B of this Section 14.7 beyond the twenty (20) day period provided therein shall be void and of no force and effect.

D. In the event that Tenant shall give to Landlord within the applicable time periods set forth in the foregoing provisions of this Section a five (5) days' notice of termination of this Lease, this Lease and the Lease Term shall come to an end and expire upon the expiration of said five (5) days with the same effect as if the date of expiration of said five (5) days were the Expiration Date, the Minimum Rent and all increases thereof and Additional Rent shall be apportioned as of such date, and any prepaid portion of Minimum Rent and increases thereof or Additional Rent for any period after such date shall be refunded by Landlord to Tenant.

E. Nothing contained in the foregoing provisions of this Section 14.7 shall be deemed to affect the rights of Landlord to give to Tenant a notice of termination of this Lease in accordance with the provisions of Section 14.4.

F. Supplementing the foregoing, Landlord shall, within ninety (90) days after the occurrence of any of the type of casualty referred to in Section 14.7A.(a), notify Tenant whether or not the repair therefor will reasonably require a period of longer than twelve (12) months to complete. If Landlord notifies Tenant that, in the opinion of Landlord's independent architect,









reasonably determined, such repair will take more than twelve (12) months to complete or in the event the occurrence of any type of casualty referred to in Section 14.7(A)(a) shall occur during the last two (2) years of the Lease Term or any renewal term thereof, Tenant shall have the single right to give to Landlord, within twenty (20) days' next following Landlord's notice, a five (5) day notice of termination of this Lease, time being of the essence with respect thereto. If Tenant fails to give such notice, Tenant shall not have the right to terminate this Lease except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Section and the foregoing provisions of this Section shall apply.

ARTICLE 15. EMINENT DOMAIN

Section 15.1. Entire Taking. In the event that the whole of the Demised Premises shall be taken under the power of eminent domain, this Lease shall thereupon terminate as of the date possession shall be so taken.

Section 15.2. Partial Taking Other than Demised Premises. If more than ten percent (10%) of the floor area of the Building in which the Demised Premises is located, whether or not any portion of the Demised Premises is included therein, is taken as aforesaid, then Landlord may, by written notice to Tenant, terminate this Lease, such termination to be effective as of the date possession shall be so taken.

Section 15.3. Partial Taking Demised Premises. In the event that a portion of the Demised Premises shall be taken under the power of eminent domain and the portion not so taken will not, in the reasonable business judgment of both Landlord and Tenant, be suitable for the operation of Tenant's business notwithstanding Landlord's performance of restoration as hereinafter set out in this Section, this Lease shall thereupon terminate as of the date possession of said portion is taken. In the event of any taking under the power of eminent domain which is not sufficiently extensive to render the Demised Premises unsuitable for the business of the Tenant, the provisions of this Lease shall remain in full force and effect, except that the Minimum Rent shall be reduced in the same proportion that the amount of Demised Premises taken bears to the original total Demised Premises immediately prior to such taking, and Landlord shall, upon receipt of the award in condemnation, make all necessary repairs or alterations to the building in which the Demised Premises are located so as to constitute the portion of the building not taken a complete architectural unit, but Landlord shall not be required to spend for such work an amount in excess of the amount received by Landlord as damages for the part of the Demised Premises so taken. "Amount received by Landlord" shall mean that part of the award in condemnation which is free and clear to Landlord of any collection by mortgagees for the value of the diminished fee, and after payment of all costs involved in collection including but not limited to attorneys fees. Tenant, at its own cost and expense, shall, with respect to all exterior signs, trade fixtures, equip­ ment, display cases, furniture, furnishings and other installations of personality of Tenant, restore such part of the Demised Premises as is not taken to as near its former condition as the circumstances will permit.

Section 15.4. Condemnation Award. In the event the Demised Premises or any part thereof shall be taken or condemned either permanently or temporarily for any public or quasi­ public use or purpose by any competent authority in appropriate proceedings or by any right of eminent domain, the entire compensation award for both leasehold and reversion shall belong to the Landlord without any deduction therefrom for any present or future estate of Tenant, and










Tenant hereby expressly waives any claim and assigns to Landlord all its right, title and interest to any such award. However, Tenant shall be entitled to claim in such condemnation proceedings such award as may be allowed for relocation costs, fixtures and other equipment installed by it, but only to the extent that the same shall not reduce Landlord's award and only if such award shall be in addition to the award for the land and building (or portion thereof) containing the Demised Premises. To the extent that the Tenant has a claim in condemnation proceedings, as aforesaid, Tenant may claim for condemnors, but not from Landlord, such compensation as may be recoverable by Tenant.

Section 15.5. Rent Proration. If the Lease is terminated as provided in this Article 15, all rent and other charges shall be paid up to the date that possession is taken by public authority, and Landlord shall make refund of any rent and other charges paid by Tenant in advance and not yet earned. Further, in the event the square footage of the Demised Premises is reduced as a result of any such condemnation or taking, Tenant's Pro-Rata Share shall be reduced accordingly.

Section 15.6. Temporary Taking. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing provisions of this Article 15, the requisitioning of the Demised Premises or any part thereof by military or other public authority for purposes arising out of a temporary emergency or other temporary situation shall constitute a taking of the Demised Premises by eminent domain only when the use and occupancy by the requisitioning authority has continued for thirty (30) consecutive days. During such thirty (30) day period, and if this Lease is not terminated under the foregoing provisions of this Article 15, then for the duration of the use and occupancy of the Demised Premises by the requisitioning authority, the provisions of this Lease shall remain in full force and effect, except that the Minimum Rent shall be reduced in the same proportion that the amount of the Demised Premises requisitioned bears to the total Demised Premises, and Landlord shall be entitled to whatever compensation may be payable from the requisitioning authority.

and shall not have the power to, transfer, assign, sublet, enter into license or concession agreements, change ownership, mortgage or hypothecate this Lease or Tenant's interest in and to the Demised Premises without first procuring the written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Any attempted or purported transfer, assignment, subletting, license or concession agreement, change of ownership, mortgage or hypothecation without Landlord's written consent pursuant to this Section 17.1 or Section 17.2 shall be void and confer no rights upon any third person. The consent by Landlord to any assignment or subletting shall not constitute a waiver of the necessity for such consent to any subsequent assignment or subletting. If this Lease be assigned or if the Demised Premises or any part thereof be occupied by anybody other than Tenant, Landlord may collect rent from the assignee, or (with respect to a subletting, during the pendency of any uncured Default hereunder) the occupant, and apply the net amount collected to the rent reserved, but no such assignment, underletting, occupancy or collection shall be deemed a waiver of this provision or the acceptance of the assignee, undertenant or occupant as Tenant. Nothing herein contained shall relieve Tenant or any Guarantor from its covenants and obligations for the term of this Lease. Tenant agrees to reimburse Landlord for Landlord's reasonable attorney's fees incurred in conjunction with the processing and documentation of any such requested transfer, assignment, subletting, license or concession agreement, change of ownership, mortgage or hypothecation of this Lease by Tenant or Tenant's interest in and to the Demised Premises up to a maximum of $3,500.00.

Section 17.2. Documentation Required. Each transfer, assignment, subletting, license, concession agreement, mortgage or hypothecation to which there has been consent shall be by an instrument in writing in form reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, and shall be executed by the transferor, assignor, sublessor, licensor, concessionaire, hypothecator or mortgagor and the transferee, assignee, sublessee, licensee, concessionaire or mortgagee in each instance, as the case may be; and each assignee shall agree in writing for the benefit of Landlord herein to assume, to be bound by, and to perform the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease to be done, kept









and performed by Tenant, including the payment of all amounts due or to become due under this Lease directly to Landlord. Failure to first obtain in writing Landlord's consent or failure to comply with the provisions of this Section shall operate to prevent any such transfer, assignment, subletting, license, concession agreement or hypothecation from becoming effective.

Section 17.3. Voting Control. In the event the Tenant is a corporation, any dissolution, merger, consolidation or other reorganization of such corporation or the sale or other transfer of a controlling percentage of the corporate stock of Tenant shall constitute an assignment of this Lease for all purposes of this Article 17; provided, however, that any transfer by inheritance or by any transaction in Tenant's stock or the stock of a corporation owning or controlling a majority of Tenant's stock which occurs on a major security exchange (including, but not limited to, NASDAQ or any successor thereto) shall not be considered an assignment hereunder. The term "controlling percentage", for the purpose of this Article 17, means the ownership of stock possessing, and of the right to exercise voting power of all classes of stock of such corporation issued, outstanding and entitled to vote for the election of directors, whether such ownership be direct or indirect ownership through ownership of stock possessing, and of the right to exercise, at least fifty-one percent (51%) of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of another corporation or corporations.

In the event Tenant is a partnership or entity other than a corporation, any dissolution, merger, consolidation or other reorganization of such partnership or entity or the sale or transfer of a controlling percentage of such partnership or entity shall constitute an assignment of this Lease for all purposes of this Article 17; provided, however, that any transfer by inheritance shall not be considered an assignment hereunder. The term "controlling percentage," for the purpose of this Article 17 means the ownership of, and the right to exercise, at least fifty-one percent (51%) of the total combined voting rights of said partnership or entity, whether such ownership be direct or indirect.

Section 17.4. Tenant Includes Approved Assignees and Subtenants. In the event that Landlord shall agree to any transfer of Tenant’s interest in this Lease, then the term "Tenant" shall thereafter be deemed to include, without further reference, the party to whom such interest is transferred, which is, for example, but without limiting the generality thereof, any subtenant, assignee, concessionaire or licensee. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, if the Lease be assigned or if the Demised Premises or any part thereof be occupied by anybody other than Tenant, then Landlord may collect rent from the assignee or occupant in accordance with the provisions of Section 17.1 above. Notwithstanding any assignment or sublease, Tenant shall remain fully liable and shall not be released from performing any of the terms of this Lease.

Section 17.5. Tenant Include Successors. All rights, obligations and liabilities herein given to, or imposed upon, the respective parties hereto shall extend to and bind the several and respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors, subtenants, licensees, concessionaires and assigns of the named Tenant herein, except as expressly provided in this Article; and if there shall be more than one Tenant they shall all be bound jointly and severally by the terms, covenants, conditions and agreements herein and the word "Tenant" shall be deemed and taken to mean each and every person or party mentioned as a Tenant herein, be the same one or more; and if there shall be more than one Tenant, any notice required or permitted by the terms of this Lease may be given by or to any one thereof. No rights, however, shall inure to the benefit of any assignee of










Tenant unless the assignment to such assignee has been approved by Landlord in writing as aforesaid. The use of the neuter singular pronoun to refer to Landlord or Tenant shall be deemed a proper reference even though Landlord or Tenant may be an individual, a partnership, a corporation, a group of two or more individuals or corporations. The necessary grammatical changes required to make the provisions of this Lease apply in the plural sense where there is more than one Landlord or Tenant and to either corporations, associations, partnerships, or individuals, males or females, shall in all instances be assumed as though in each case fully expressed.

Section 17.6. Successor to Landlord Interest. The term "Landlord," as used in this Lease, so far as covenants, conditions and agreements on the part of the said Landlord are concerned, shall be limited to mean the party executing this Lease as Landlord, its successors and assigns, and in the event of any transfer or transfers of the interest of Landlord in the Industrial Center, the said Landlord (and in case of any subsequent transfers or conveyances, the then grantor) shall be automatically freed and relieved from and after the date of such transfer or conveyance of all liability as respects the performance of any covenants, conditions and agreements on the part of said Landlord contained in this Lease thereafter to be performed, provided that any amount then due and payable to Tenant by Landlord, or the then grantor, under any provisions of this Lease, shall be paid to Tenant. It being intended by Landlord and Tenant that the covenants, conditions and agreements contained in this Lease on the part of the Landlord shall, subject as aforesaid, be binding on Landlord, its successors and assigns, only during and in respect of their respective successive periods of ownership. Further, Landlord's liability under this Lease shall be limited to and include only the interest of Landlord in the Industrial Center.

Section 17.7. Transfer Premium. If Landlord consents to any assignment of this Lease, or subletting of the Demised Premises or parts thereof (a "Transfer") then, as a condition thereto, which the parties hereby agree is reasonable, Tenant shall pay Landlord fifty percent (50%) of the Minimum Rent and Tenant's Pro-Rata Share of Complex Operating Costs received by Tenant from such Transfer in excess of the Minimum Rent and Tenant's Pro-Rata Share of Complex Operating Costs payable by Tenant under this Lease with respect to the Demised Premises or the portion thereof that is the subject of the Transfer, after deducting the reasonable expenses incurred by Tenant in connection with the Transfer (the "Transfer Premium"). Such Transfer Premium shall be paid promptly by Tenant upon Tenant's receipt from time to time of periodic payments from such transferee or such other time as Tenant shall realize a Transfer Premium from such transferee.

Section 17.8. Sublet Rights. A. (1) As long as Tenant is not in default under any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Lease on Tenant's part to be observed and performed, Landlord agrees not to unreasonably withhold Landlord's prior consent to sublettings by Tenant of all or portions of the Demised Premises to not more than three (3) subtenants. Each such subletting shall be for undivided occupancy by the subtenant for that part of the Demised Premises affected thereby, for the use expressly permitted in this Lease, and at no time shall there be more than three (3) occupants (inclusive of Tenant) in the Demised Premises, it being understood that any such occupant shall have a self-contained separately demised space with demising walls furnished and supplied by Tenant at Tenant's expense;

(2)     Without Landlord's prior consent, Tenant shall not (a) negotiate or enter into a proposed subletting with any tenant, subtenant or occupant









of any space in the Building or (b) list or otherwise publicly advertise the Demised Premises or any part thereof for subletting at a rental lower than the Minimum Rent then in effect under this Lease;

(3)     At least thirty (30) days prior to any proposed
subletting, Tenant shall submit to Landlord a statement (the "Proposed Sublet Statement") containing the name and address of the proposed subtenant, the nature of the proposed subtenant's business and its current financial status, and all of the principal terms and conditions of the proposed subletting including, but not limited to, the proposed commencement and expiration dates of the term thereof; and

(4) Landlord may arbitrarily withhold consent to a proposed subletting if, (a) in Landlord's reasonable judgment, the occupancy of the proposed
subtenant will tend to impair the character or dignity of the Building or impose any additional burden upon Landlord in the operation of the Building, or (b) the proposed subtenant shall be a person or entity with whom Landlord is then negotiating or discussing to lease space in the Building or (c) the proposed sublet rent is less than the fair rental value of the Demised Premises or (d) the proposed use of the Demised Premises is reasonably objectionable to Landlord; and

(5) Any Sublease consented to by Landlord must conform to the information contained in the Proposed Sublet Statement and shall expressly provide that (a) the subtenant shall obtain the provisions in its insurance policies to the effect that such policies shall not be invalidated should the insured waive, in writing, prior to a loss, any or all right of recovery against any party for loss occasioned by fire or other casualty which is an insured risk under such policies, as set forth in Article 14, and (b) in the event of the termination, re-entry or dispossess of Tenant by Landlord under this Lease, Landlord may, at its option, take over all of the right, title and interest of Tenant, as sublessor under the sublease, and such subtenant shall, at Landlord's option, attorn to Landlord pursuant to the then executory provisions of such sublease, except that Landlord shall not (i) be liable for any previous act or omission of Tenant under such sublease, (ii) be subject to any offset which accrued to such subtenant against Tenant, (iii) be bound by any previous modification of such sublease or by any previous prepayment of more than one month's rent unless such modification or prepayment was previously approved by Landlord, (iv) be bound by any covenant to undertake or complete any construction of the premises, or any portion thereof, demised by such sublease and (v) be bound by any obligation to make any payment to or on behalf of the subtenant, except for services, repairs, maintenance and restoration provided for under the sublease to be performed after the date of such termination, re-entry or dispossess by Landlord under this Lease and to which Landlord is expressly required to perform under this Lease with respect to the subleased space at Landlord's expense, it being expressly understood, however, that Landlord shall not be bound by any obligation to make payment to or on behalf of a subtenant with respect to construction performed by or on behalf of such subtenant in the subleased premises. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord on demand for any reasonable out of pocket costs or expense that may be actually incurred by Landlord's review of any Proposed Sublet Statement or in connection with any sublease consented to by Landlord, including, without limitation, any reasonable processing fee, reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements and the reasonable costs of making investigations as to the acceptability of the proposed subtenant up to a maximum of $3,500.00. Further, the provisions of Section 17.7 with respect to payment of a Transfer Premium shall apply to each and every subletting consented to by Landlord.











B. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions set forth in A hereof, Landlord shall have the following rights with respect to each proposed subletting by Tenant other than a subletting in accordance with the provisions of Section 17.10:

(1) In the event Tenant proposes to sublet all or any portion of the Demised Premises pursuant to a transaction for which Landlord's consent is required, prior to entering into such sublease, Tenant shall have the right to advise Landlord in writing of its intention to sublet all or such portion of the Premises (hereinafter referred to as the "Prior Notice"). If Landlord does not notify Tenant within twenty (20) days after receipt of the Prior Notice that it intends to cancel this Lease with respect to the Demised Premises or the portion thereof intended to be sublet or to recapture the portion of the Demised Premises or portion thereof for the portion of the term described in the Prior Notice, Tenant shall have the right to sublet the Demised Premises or portion thereof described in the Prior Notice in subject to the terms and conditions of this Article 17, however, Landlord shall not have the right to terminate this Lease with respect to the Demised Premises or the portion thereof described in the Prior Notice.

(2) In the event Tenant proposes to sublet all or substantially of the Demised Premises for all or substantially all of the remainder of the Demised Term pursuant to a transaction for which Landlord's consent is required and Tenant has not given Landlord a Prior Notice, Landlord, at Landlord's option, may give to Tenant, within thirty (30) days after the submission by Tenant to Landlord of the Proposed Sublet Statement, a notice terminating this Lease on the date (referred to as the "Earlier Termination Date") immediately prior to the proposed commencement date of the term of the proposed subletting, as set forth in the Proposed Sublet Statement, and, in the event such notice is given, this Lease and the Lease Term shall come to an end and expire on the Earlier Termination Date with the same effect as if it were the Expiration Date, the Minimum Rent shall be apportioned as of said Earlier Termination Date and any prepaid portion of Minimum Rent and Additional Rent for any period after such date shall be refunded by Landlord to Tenant

(3) In the event Tenant proposes to sublet all or any portion of the Demised Premises for less than all or substantially all of the remainder of the Term pursuant to a transaction for which Landlord's consent is required and Tenant has not given Landlord a Prior Notice, Landlord, at Landlord's option, may give to Tenant, within thirty (30) days after the submission by Tenant to Landlord, of the Proposed Sublet Statement required to be submitted in connection with such proposed subletting, a notice electing to recapture the portion of the Demised Premises proposed to be sublet as designated on a plan (the "Recapture Premises") during the period (referred to as the "Recapture Period") commencing on the date (referred to as "Recapture Date") immediately prior to the proposed commencement date of the term of the proposed subletting, as set forth in the Proposed Sublet Statement, and ending on the proposed expiration date of the term of the proposed subletting, as set forth in the Proposed Sublet Statement, and in the event such notice is given the following shall apply:

(a) Tenant shall, at Tenant's cost, demise any such Recapture Premises prior to the commencement of the Recapture Period and the Recapture Premises shall be recaptured by Landlord during the Recapture Period;









00355322.4

(b) Tenant shall surrender the Recapture Premises to Landlord on or prior to the Recapture Date in the same manner as if said Recapture Date were the Expiration Date;
(c)     During the Recapture Period, Tenant shall have no
rights with respect to the Recapture Premises nor any obligations with respect to the Recapture Premises, including, but not limited to, any obligations to pay Minimum Rent or Additional Rent, applicable to the Recapture Premises and any prepaid portion of Minimum Rent allocable to the Recapture Period for the Recapture Premises shall be refunded by Landlord to Tenant;

(d)     There shall be an equitable apportionment of any
Additional Rent pursuant to Article 4 for the Lease Year in which said Recapture Date shall occur;

(e) Upon the expiration of the Recapture Period, the Recapture Premises shall be restored to Tenant, in the condition which existed immediately prior to the Recapture Date, ordinary wear and tear excepted, and Tenant shall have all rights with respect to the Recapture Premises which are set forth in this Lease and all obligations with respect to the Recapture Premises which are set forth in this Lease, including, but not limited to, the obligations for the payment of Minimum Rent and Additional Rent (as they would have been adjusted if Tenant occupied the Recapture Premises during the Recapture Period) during the period (referred to as the "Recapture Restoration Period") commencing on the date next following the expiration of the Recapture Period and ending on the Expiration Date, except in the event that Landlord is unable to give Tenant possession of the Recapture Premises at the expiration of the Recapture Period by reason of the holding over or retention of possession of any tenant or other occupant, in which event (x) the Recapture Restoration Period shall not commence and the Recapture Premises shall not be deemed available for Tenant's occupancy and Tenant shall not be required to comply with the obligations of Tenant under this Lease until the date upon which Landlord shall give Tenant possession of the Recapture Premises free of occupancies, (y) neither the Expiration Date nor the validity of this Lease nor the obligations of Tenant under this Lease shall be affected thereby, and (z) Tenant waives any rights to rescind this Lease and to recover any damages which may result from the failure by Landlord to deliver possession of the Recapture Premises at the end of the Recapture Period; Landlord agrees to institute, within thirty (30) days after the expiration of the Recapture Period, possession proceedings against any tenants and occupants who have not so vacated and surrendered all or any portions of the Recapture Premises and agrees to prosecute such proceedings with reasonable diligence; and

(f) There shall be an equitable apportionment of any Additional Rent pursuant to Article 4 for the Lease Year in which the Recapture Restoration Period shall commence. At the request of Landlord, Tenant shall execute and deliver an instrument or instruments, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, setting forth any modifications to this Lease contemplated in or resulting from the operation of the foregoing provisions hereof; however, neither Landlord's failure to request any such instrument nor Tenant's failure to execute or deliver any such instrument shall vitiate the effect of the foregoing provisions of this Section. The failure by Landlord to exercise any option under this Section with respect to any subletting shall not be deemed a waiver of such option with respect to any extension of such subletting or any subsequent subletting of the premises affected thereby or any other portion of the Demised Premises. Tenant shall indemnify Landlord from all loss, cost, liability, damage and










expense, including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel fees and disbursements, arising from any claims against Landlord by any broker or other person, for a brokerage commission or other similar compensation in connection with any such proposed subletting, in the event (a) Landlord shall (i) fail or refuse to consent to any proposed subletting, or (ii) exercise any of its options under this Section, or (b) any proposed subletting shall fail to be consummated for any reason whatsoever.

Section 17.9. Merger/Consolidation/Asset or Stock Sale. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article 17 to the contrary, as long as Tenant is not in default under any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Lease on Tenant's part to be observed and performed, beyond applicable notice and cure periods, Tenant shall have the right, without the prior consent of Landlord, to assign Tenant's interest in this Lease to any person, corporation, partnership, or other business entity which is a successor of Tenant, either by (i) merger or consolidation or (ii) the purchase of all or substantially all of the (x) assets or stock, and (y) business and goodwill of Tenant, provided that said person, corporation, partnership or other business entity which shall be Tenant following such merger, consolidation or asset purchase or Tenant following the transfer of stock, as the case may be, (the "Proposed Assignee") shall have a tangible net worth, as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied following the consummation of such transaction, at least equal to the greater of (x) that of Tenant named hereunder as of the date of this Lease and (y) that of Tenant immediately prior to such transaction (such required net worth, the "Required Net Worth") and provided further that such Proposed Assignee shall continue to operate the same business conducted by Tenant in the Demised Premises immediately prior to the transaction and the interest of Tenant in this Lease is not the sole asset of Tenant named herein and such assignment shall be for a bone fide business purpose and shall not be intended to circumvent the restrictions on assignment set forth in this Lease. At the time of said proposed assignment, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a reasonably detailed statement of the financial condition of the aforesaid Proposed Assignee, prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis, sworn to by an executive officer or principal or partner of Tenant and the Proposed Assignee, and certified without qualification by a firm of reputable independent certified public accountants which statement shall reflect the financial condition of the aforesaid proposed assignee at that time after taking into account the consummation of the assignment of this Lease and any other transactions related thereto. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section to the contrary, such assignment shall not be valid if the Proposed Assignee shall not have a tangible net worth following the consummation of such transaction at least equal to the Required Net Worth or the interest of Tenant named herein in this Lease is the sole or principal asset of Tenant named herein or such assignment is not made for a bona fide business purpose. Furthermore, no such assignment in connection with an asset sale shall be valid, unless, within ten (10) days after the execution thereof, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord (I) a duplicate original instrument of assignment in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord duly executed by Tenant, acknowledged before a notary public, in which Tenant shall (a) waive Tenant's right to receive all notices of default given to the assignee and all other notices of every kind or description, now or hereafter provided in this Lease, by statute or by rule of law; (b) acknowledge that Tenant's obligations with respect to this Lease shall not be discharged, released or impaired by (i) such assignment; (ii) any amendment or modification of this Lease (whether or not the obligations of the tenant under the Lease are increased thereby); (iii) any further assignment or transfer of the tenant's interest in this Lease;











(iv) any exercise, non- exercise or waiver by Landlord of any right, remedy, power or privilege under or with respect to this Lease; (v) any waiver, consent, extension, indulgence or other act or omission with respect to any of the obligations of Tenant under this Lease; (vi) any act or thing which, but for the provisions of such assignment, might be deemed a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or assignor, to all of which Tenant shall consent in advance; and (c) expressly waive and surrender any then existing defense to its liability thereunder; it being the purpose and intent of Landlord and Tenant that the obligations of Tenant hereunder as assignor shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances; and {II) an instrument in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, duly executed by the Proposed Assignee, acknowledged before a notary public, in which such Proposed Assignee shall assume observance and performance of, and agree to be personally bound by, all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease on Tenant's part to be performed. In addition, no such assignment in connection with a merger, consolidation or sale of stock or other equity interests in Tenant shall be valid unless within ten (10) business days after the consummation thereof, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord (xx) a copy of the certificate of merger or consolidation which was filed in the relevant jurisdiction, in the event the assignment was in connection with a merger or consolidation, or (yy) a statement identifying the purchaser(s) of the stock or other equity interests in Tenant, in the event the assignment was in connection with a sale of the stock or other equity interests in Tenant. The provisions of Section 17.7 relating to assignment consideration shall not be applicable to any proposed assignment of this Lease made in accordance with the provisions of this Section 17.9. In the event of any dispute between Landlord and Tenant as to the validity of any such assignment such dispute shall be determined by arbitration where designated by Landlord. Any such determination shall be final and binding upon the parties whether or not a judgment shall be entered in any court. If the determination of any such arbitration shall be adverse to Landlord, Landlord, nevertheless, shall not be liable for damages to Tenant and Tenant's sole remedy in such event shall be to have the proposed assignment deemed valid.

Section 17.10. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article 17 to the contrary, as long as Tenant is not then in default (x) under any of the non-monetary terms, covenants or conditions of this Lease on Tenant's part to be observed or performed beyond the applicable notice and grace periods set forth in this Lease or (y) under the monetary terms, covenants or conditions of this Lease on Tenant's part to be observed or performed, Tenant shall have the right, without the prior consent of Landlord, to sublet to, or permit the use or occupancy of, all or any part of the Demised Premises by any subsidiary or affiliate (as said terms are defined in Subsection A above) of Tenant named herein for the use permitted in this Lease provided that such subsidiary or affiliate is in the same general line of business as the Tenant named herein and only for such period as it shall remain a subsidiary or affiliate of, and in the same general line of business as, the Tenant named herein. However, no such subletting shall be valid unless, prior to the execution thereof, Tenant shall give notice to Landlord of the proposed subletting, and within ten (10) days prior the commencement of said subletting, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord an agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to Landlord, duly executed by Tenant and said subtenant, in which said subtenant shall assume performance of and agree to be personally bound by, all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease which are applicable to said subtenant and such subletting. Tenant shall give prompt notice to Landlord of any such use or occupancy of all or any part of the Demised Premises and such use or occupancy shall be subject and subordinate to all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease. No such use or occupancy shall operate to vest in the user or occupant any right or interest in this Lease or the Demised Premises. The provisions of Section








17.7 relating to Landlord's rights to the Transfer Premium shall not be applicable to any proposed subletting to any such subsidiary or affiliate of Tenant pursuant to the provisions of this Section
17.10.

ARTICLE 18. INTENTIONALLY DELETED

ARTICLE 19. SURRENDER OF PREMISES

Section 19.1. Upon the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease, Tenant shall
surrender to Landlord the Demised Premises, including, without limitation, all carpeting, additions, alterations, improvements, apparatus and fixtures, in good and broom clean condition and repair, as aforesaid in Section 10.1 hereof; provided, however, that Tenant (i) shall be required to remove unattached and moveable and trade fixtures and furniture and other personal property installed by Tenant and all Designated Alterations; and (ii) may be permitted to remove, upon written approval by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, such other alterations, additions, improvements and fixtures installed by Tenant, and which are removable without material damage to the Demised Premises, and, in each instance, Tenant shall remove any Tenant's Work which has been designated in any notice from Landlord to Tenant in accordance with the provision of Section 5.11 and restore the affected portion of the Demised Premises to their original condition at Tenant's expense.. Any unattached moveable fixtures and furniture installed by Tenant not removed by Tenant upon the expiration or sooner termination of the Lease as aforesaid for any reason whatsoever shall become the property of Landlord, and Landlord may thereafter, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, cause such property to be removed from the Demised Premises. Landlord shall not in any manner or to any extent be obligated to reimburse Tenant for any property which becomes the property of Landlord as a result of such expiration or earlier termination nor shall Landlord's retention or sale of such property waive any of Landlord's rights with respect to any default by Tenant under the foregoing provisions of this Section.

ARTICLE 20. HOLDOVER BY TENANT

Section 20.1. Rent In The Event Of Holdover. In the event that Tenant shall hold the Demised Premises after the expiration of the Lease Term without the express written consent of the Landlord, such holding shall be deemed to have created a tenancy from month to month terminable on thirty (30) days' written notice by either party to the other, upon a monthly rental basis, and otherwise subject to all terms and provisions of this Article 20. Such monthly rental shall be the greater of (i) 150% of the monthly rental in effect immediately prior to the expiration of the Lease Term or (ii) fair rental value.

Section 20.2. Liability In The Event Of Holdover. If the Tenant fails to surrender the Demised Premises within ninety (90) days after the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, then Tenant shall, in addition to any other liabilities to Landlord accruing therefrom, indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from loss or liability resulting from such failure, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any claims made by any succeeding tenant founded on such failure.














ARTICLE 21. ADDITIONAL CONSTRUCTION

Section 21.1. Construction By Landlord. Landlord hereby reserves the right, at any time and from time to time, providing reasonable access to the Demised Premises is not materially and adversely affected, to make alterations or additions to the Industrial Center, to build additional stories on the building in which the Demised Premises are contained and to build adjoining same and to construct other or add to other buildings or improvements in the Industrial Center; provided, however, that such construction or additions shall not unreasonably interfere with Tenant's use of the Demised Premises as permitted hereunder, except when such work is necessitated by emergency or required by structural need.

Section 21.2. Excavation. If an excavation shall be made upon land adjacent to the Demised Premises, then, Tenant shall permit the person authorized to cause such excavation license to enter upon the Demised Premises for the purpose of doing such work as such person deems necessary to preserve the wall or the building of which the Demised Premises form a part from damage and to support the same by proper foundations and Tenant shall not be entitled to any claim for damages or indemnification against Landlord nor shall Tenant be entitled to an abatement of rent. Reasonable efforts shall be taken to preserve vehicular and personnel access during any such work.
ARTICLE 22. DEFAULT; REMEDIES

Section 22.1. Defaults. Conditional Limitation.

(a)     Each of the following events shall constitute a default under this Lease (each, a
"Default"):

(i) If Tenant, or any guarantor of Tenant's obligations hereunder (any such guarantor, a "Guarantor"), shall: (x) make an assignment for the benefit of creditors; or (y) file or acquiesce to a petition in any court (whether or not pursuant to any statute of the United States or of any State) in any bankruptcy, reorganization, composition, extension, arrangement or insolvency proceedings; or (z) make an application in any such proceedings for or acquiesce to the appointment of a trustee or receiver for it or all of any portion of its property.

(ii) If any petition shall be filed against Tenant, or any Guarantor, to which neither of them acquiesce in any court (whether or not pursuant to any statute of the United States or any State) in any bankruptcy, reorganization, composition, extension, arrangement or insolvency proceedings, and: (x) Tenant or any Guarantor shall thereafter be adjudicated a bankrupt;, or (y) such petition shall be approved by any such court; or (z) such proceedings shall not be dismissed, discontinued or vacated within sixty (60) days.

(iii) If, in any proceeding, pursuant to the application of any Person other than Tenant, or any Guarantor to which neither of them acquiesce, a receiver or trustee shall be appointed for Tenant, or any Guarantor or for all or any portion of the property of either and such receivership or trusteeship shall not be set aside within sixty (60) days after such appointment.

(iv) If Tenant shall refuse to take possession of the Demised Premises within sixty (60) days after the Commencement Date.








(v) If Tenant shall fail to pay any Minimum or Additional Rent (collectively, "Rent"), or any other charge required to be paid by Tenant hereunder, when the same shall become due and payable, and such failure shall continue for five (5) days after receipt of written notice that such payment was not received by Landlord.

(vi) If Tenant shall fail to perform or observe any other requirement of this Lease to be performed or observed by Tenant but not specifically referred to in this Section, and such failure shall continue for thirty (30) days after Landlord shall give written notice of the failure to Tenant. However, if Tenant's failure to comply cannot reasonably be cured within thirty (30) days, Tenant shall be allowed additional time as is reasonably necessary to cure the failure so long as: (1) Tenant commences to cure the failure within thirty (30) days of receipt of Landlord's notice, and (2) Tenant diligently pursues a course of action that will cure the failure and bring Tenant back into compliance with the Lease.

(b) This Lease is subject to the following limitation: If at any time, a Default shall occur, then upon the happening of any one or more of the aforementioned Defaults, Landlord may give to Tenant a notice of intention to end the Term of this Lease at the expiration of five (5) days from the date of service of such notice of termination. At the expiration of such five (5) days, this Lease and the Term as well as all of the right, title and interest of Tenant hereunder shall wholly cease and expire, and Tenant shall then quit and surrender the Demised Premises to Landlord. But notwithstanding such termination, surrender, and the expiration of Tenant’s right, title and interest, Tenant's liability under all of the provisions of this Lease shall continue.

Section 22.2. Landlord's Re-Entry. In the event of a Default by Tenant hereunder, Landlord, or its agents or employees, may re-enter the Demised Premises at any time and remove therefrom Tenant, Tenant's Agents, subtenants, and any 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 or by force or otherwise and, in connection therewith, 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 held over by Tenant, or proceedings in forcible entry and detainer. 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. Landlord shall not be liable 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 under all of the provisions of this Lease shall continue. No such re-entry or taking possession of the Demised Premises by Landlord shall be construed as an election on its part to terminate this Lease unless notice of such intention be given to Tenant or unless the termination thereof shall result as a matter of law or be decreed by a court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding any re-letting without termination, Landlord may at any time thereafter, elect to terminate this Lease for such previous breach.

Section 22.3. Deficiency.

(a) In case of re-entry, repossession or termination of this Lease, whether the same is the result of the institution of summary or other proceedings or not, Tenant shall remain liable (in addition to accrued liabilities) to the extent legally permissible for: (i) (x) the Rent, and all other charges provided for herein until the date this Lease would have expired (or, in the alternative, as









liquidated damages, an amount equal to the Rent and such other charges) had such termination, re-entry or repossession not occurred; and (y) expenses to which Landlord may be put in re-entering the Demised Premises, repossessing the same, making good any Default of Tenant, painting, altering or dividing the Demised Premises, combining or placing the same in proper repair, protecting and preserving the same by placing therein watchmen and caretakers, reletting the same (including attorney's fees and disbursements, marshal's fees and broker's fees, in so doing), and any expenses which Landlord may incur during the occupancy of any new tenant; minus (ii) the net proceeds of any re-letting. Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord the difference between items (i) and (ii) hereinabove with respect to each month, at the end of such month. Any suit brought by Landlord to enforce collection of such difference for any one month shall not prejudice Landlord's right to enforce the collection of any difference for any subsequent month. In addition to the foregoing, Tenant shall pay to Landlord such sums as the court which has jurisdiction thereover may adjudge reasonable as attorneys' fees with respect to any successful lawsuit or action instituted by Landlord to enforce the provisions hereof.

(b) Landlord, at Landlord's option, may re-let the whole or any part of said Demised Premises for the whole of the unexpired Lease Term, or longer, or from time to time for shorter period, for any rental then obtainable, giving such concessions of rent and making such special repairs, alterations, decorations and paintings for any new tenant as it may, in its sole and absolute discretion deem advisable. Landlord shall have no obligation to relet the Demised Premises or any part thereof and shall in no event be liable for refusal or failure to relet the Demised Premises or any part thereof, or, in the event of any such reletting, for refusal or failure to collect any rent due upon any such reletting, and no such refusal or failure shall operate to relieve Tenant of any liability under this Lease or otherwise to affect any such liability; Landlord, at Landlord's option, may make such repairs, replacements, alterations, additions, improvements, decorations and other physical changes in and to the Demised Premises as Landlord, in its sole discretion, considers advisable or necessary in connection with any such reletting or proposed reletting, without relieving Tenant of any liability under this Lease or otherwise affecting any such liability. Tenant's liability as aforesaid shall survive the institution of summary proceedings and the issuance of any warrant thereunder.

Section 22.4. Agreed Final Damages. If Landlord so elects, Tenant shall pay Landlord, on demand, as liquidated and agreed final damages, the Rent and all other charges which would have been payable by Tenant from the date of such demand to the date when this Lease would have expired if it had not been terminated as aforesaid, minus the fair rental value of the Demised Premises for the same period with such sums discounted to present value. Upon payment of such liquidated and agreed final damages, Tenant shall be under no further liability with respect to the period after the date of such demand.

Section 22.5. Waiver of Right of Redemption. Tenant hereby expressly waives (to the extent legally permissible), for itself and all persons claiming by, though, or under it, any right of redemption or for the restoration of the operation of this Lease under any present or future law in case Tenant shall be dispossessed for any cause, or in case Landlord shall obtain possession of the Demised Premises as herein provided. In the event Landlord commences any action or proceeding for non-payment of Minimum Rent or any items of Additional Rent due hereunder, Tenant shall not interpose any counterclaim of any nature or description in any such action or proceeding. The













foregoing, however, shall not be construed as a waiver of Tenant's right to assert such claim in a separate action or proceeding instituted by Tenant.

Section 22.6. Landlord's Right to Perform for Account of Tenant. If Tenant shall be in default hereunder after expiration of applicable notice and cure periods, Landlord or any mortgagee may, at any time thereafter, cure said default for the account and at the expense of Tenant. Tenant shall pay, with interest at the maximum legal rate, on demand, to Landlord, the amount so paid, expended, or incurred by Landlord or any mortgagee and any expense of Landlord or any mortgagee including attorneys' fees incurred in connection with such default plus administrative costs of Landlord or any mortgagee in an amount equal to ten (10%) percent of such costs and expenses, and all of the same shall be deemed to be Additional Rent.

Section 22.7. Additional Remedies, Waivers. Etc. With respect to the rights and remedies of and waivers by Landlord: (a) the rights and remedies of Landlord set forth herein shall be in addition to any other right and remedy now and hereafter provided by law. Landlord may exercise such rights and remedies at such times, in such order, to such extent, and as often as Landlord deems advisable without regard to whether the exercise of one right or remedy precedes, concurs with or succeeds the exercise of another, (b) single or partial exercise of a right or remedy shall not preclude: (i) a further exercise thereof; or (ii) the exercise of another right or remedy, from time to time; (c) no delay or omission by Landlord in exercising a right or remedy shall exhaust or impair the same or constitute a waiver of, or acquiescence to a Default; (d) no waiver of a Default shall extend to or affect any other Default or impair any right or remedy with respect thereto; (e) no action or inaction by Landlord shall constitute a waiver of a Default; and (f) no waiver of a Default shall be effective, unless it is in writing.

Section 22.8. Distraint. In addition to all other rights and remedies, if Tenant shall be in Default hereunder, Landlord shall, to the extent permitted by law, have a right of distress for Rent and a lien on all of Tenant's fixtures, merchandise and equipment in the Demised Premises, as security for Rent and all other charges payable hereunder.

Section 22.9. Miscellaneous.

(a) No waiver of any covenant or condition or of the breach of any covenant or condition of this Lease by either Landlord or Tenant shall be taken to constitute a waiver of any subsequent breach of such covenant or condition or to justify or authorize the non-observance on any other occasion of the same or of any other covenant or condition hereof, nor shall the acceptance of Minimum Rent or any item of Additional Rent by Landlord at any time when Tenant is in Default under any covenant or condition hereof be construed as a waiver of such Default or of Landlord's right to terminate this Lease on account of such Default, nor shall any waiver or indulgence granted by Landlord to Tenant be taken as an estoppel against Landlord, nor shall any waiver or indulgence granted by Tenant to Landlord be taken as an estoppel against Landlord; it being expressly understood that if at any time Tenant shall be in Default in any of its covenants or conditions hereunder, an acceptance by Landlord of Minimum Rent or any item of Additional Rent during the continuance of such Default or the failure on the part of Landlord promptly to avail itself of such other rights or remedies as Landlord may have, shall not be construed as a waiver of such










Default, but Landlord may at any time thereafter, if such Default continues, terminate this Lease on account of such Default in the manner herein provided.

(b) In the event of any breach by Landlord or Tenant of any of the terms and provisions of this Lease, the non-defaulting party shall have the right to injunctive relief as if no other remedies were provided herein for such breach.

(c) The rights and remedies herein reserved by, or granted to, Landlord are distinct, separate and cumulative, and the exercise of any one of them shall not be deemed to preclude, waive or prejudice Landlord's right to exercise any or all others.

(d) Tenant hereby expressly waives any right to assert a defense based on merger and agrees that neither the commencement of any action or proceeding, nor the settlement thereof, nor the entry of judgment therein, shall bar Landlord from bringing any subsequent actions or proceedings from time to time.

(e) Tenant hereby waives the benefit of any provisions of the applicable statute of limitations as a defense in any action for collection of rentals or other charges accrued under this Lease which may be filed by Landlord against Tenant.

(f) Intentionally omitted.

(g) Wherever in this Lease, Landlord has reserved or is granted the right of "re-entry" into the Demised Premises, the use of such word is not intended, nor shall it be construed, to be limited to its technical legal meaning.

(h) In the event of any lawsuit or court action between Landlord and Tenant arising out of or under this Lease or the terms and conditions stated herein, the prevailing party in such lawsuit or court action shall be entitled to and shall collect from the non-prevailing party the reasonable attorney's fees and court costs actually incurred by the prevailing party with respect to said lawsuit or court action.

(i) Any action, suit or proceeding relating to, arising out of or in connection with the terms, conditions and covenants of this Lease may be brought in the courts of the State in which the Industrial Center is located. Each of Landlord and Tenant hereby waives any objection to jurisdiction or venue in any proceeding before said courts.

(j) LANDLORD AND TENANT HEREBY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM BROUGHT BY EITHER PARTY AGAINST THE OTHER ON ANY MATTERS IN ANY WAY ARISING OUT OF OR CONNECTED WITH THIS LEASE, THE RELATIONSHIP OF LANDLORD AND TENANT, TENANT'S USE OR OCCUPANCY OF THE PREMISES, OR THE ENFORCEMENT OF ANY REMEDY UNDER ANY STATUTE, EMERGENCY OR OTHERWISE.











ARTICLE 23. NO WAIVER

Section 23.1. No Waiver Except In Writing. Failure of Landlord or Tenant to insist upon the strict performance of any provisions hereof or of any rules and regulations promulgated hereunder or to exercise any option shall not be construed as a waiver for the future of any such provision or rule or option. The receipt by Landlord of any rent or other charge due hereunder with knowledge of the breach of any provision of this Lease shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach. No provision of this Lease shall be deemed to have been waived unless such waiver be in writing signed by the Landlord. No payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount than the monthly rent shall be deemed to be other than on account of the earliest rent then unpaid nor shall any endorsement or statement or any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment as rent be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord's right to recover the balance of such rent or pursue any other remedy in this Lease, and no waiver by Landlord in respect to one tenant shall constitute a waiver in favor of any other tenant in the Industrial Center.

ARTICLE 24. NOTICES

Section 24.1. Addresses. Except as otherwise provided for herein, any notice, demand, request, consent, approval or other communication which either party hereto is required or desires to give, make, or communicate to the other shall be in writing and shall be given, made, or communicated only by nationally recognized courier service (e.g. Federal Express) providing dated evidence of receipt or refusal to accept delivery by the addressee, addressed, in the case of Landlord:

Refusal to accept delivery of any notice shall not limit or negate delivery of such notice or limit, negate or render ineffective any such notice.

ARTICLE 25. SUBORDINATION AND ATTORNMENT

Section 25.1. Subordination. This Lease and the rights of Tenant hereunder are and shall be automatically subordinate to the lien of any mortgage now or hereafter in force against the land








and/or buildings of which the Demised Premises are a part against any buildings hereafter placed upon the land of which the Demised Premises are a part and to all advances made or hereafter to be made upon the security thereof, and to any and all extensions, renewals, modifications or replacements thereof, and to any ground or underlying lease of the land or buildings. The provisions of this Section 25.1 are self-operative and no further instrument of subordination shall be required. However, within ten (10) days of Landlord's written request, Tenant shall execute any commercially reasonable agreement reasonably required by any mortgagee or landlord, confirming the foregoing subordination of this Lease.

Section 25.2. Attornment. Tenant shall, in the event of the sale or assignment of Landlord's interest in the Building of which the Demised Premises form a part or in the event of any proceedings brought for the foreclosure of, or in the event of exercise of the power of sale under any mortgage made by Landlord covering the Demised Premises, attorn to the purchaser and recognize such purchaser as Landlord under this Lease.

Section 25.3. Mortgagee Protection Clause. Tenant agrees to give any mortgagee and/or trustees under any deed of trust or land under any ground lease, by registered or certified mail or via a nationally recognized overnight courier service, a copy of any notice of default served upon Landlord under this Lease, provided that prior to such notice Tenant has been notified, in writing, of the address of such mortgagees and/or trust deed holders and/or landlords. Tenant further agrees that if Landlord shall have failed to cure such default within the time provided for in this Lease, then the mortgagees and/or trust deed holders and/or landlords shall have an additional thirty (30) days within which to cure such default or if such default cannot be cured within that time, then such additional time as may be necessary if within such thirty (30) days, any mortgagee and/or trust deed holder and/or landlord has commenced and is diligently pursuing the remedies necessary to cure such default, (including but not limited to commencement of foreclosure proceedings, if necessary to effect such cure) in which event this Lease shall not be terminated while such remedies are being so diligently pursued.

Section 25.4. Landlord hereby agrees to request from its existing mortgagee of the Industrial Center, at no cost to Landlord, a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement with Tenant which agreement will be on the mortgagee's standard form (with such commercially reasonable modifications as Tenant may request and which are acceptable to the mortgagee). In addition, Landlord hereby agrees to obtain from any such future mortgagee of the Industrial Center, at no cost to Landlord, a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement with Tenant which agreement will be on the mortgagee's standard form (with such commercially reasonable modifications as Tenant may request and which are acceptable to the mortgagee).

ARTICLE 26. HAZARDOUS MATERIALS

Section 26.1. Tenant shall not cause any Hazardous Materials, as herein defined, or permit its agents, employees or contractors to cause any Hazardous Materials to be brought upon, stored, treated, used, produced, generated, emitted, disposed, discharged, or released (collectively known as "handled" or "handle") upon, about, above or beneath the Demised Premises or the Industrial Center. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) normal quantities of those Hazardous Materials customarily used in the conduct of general administrative and executive office activities (e.g.,










copier fluids and cleaning supplies) may be used and stored at the Demised Premises without Landlord's prior written consent, and (ii) in connection with the Permitted Use of the Demised Premises, Tenant shall be allowed to receive and send shipments of Hazardous Materials, but only in compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws, as defined herein. These Hazardous Materials referred to in subdivisions (i) and (ii) of the preceding sentence shall be known as "Tenant's Hazardous Materials" and shall be handled in accordance with all applicable federal, state and local laws, statutes, ordinances, regulations, codes, rulings, policies, requirements, orders and decrees including, but not limited to, the Resource Conservation Recovery Act of 1976 (42 U.S.C.. 6901 et seq.), as amended, and the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act (42 U.S.C.. 9601 et seq.), as amended (collectively known as "Environmental Laws”) relating to the industrial hygiene, environmental protection or the handling, use, analysis, generation, manufacture, storage, presence, disposal or transportation of Hazardous Materials, defined below. Tenant hereby agrees to pay the costs of all remediation and corrective measures made necessary or desirable in the event that Tenant shall breach the provisions of this Article. Tenant hereby indemnifies and agrees to defend and hold harmless, Landlord and its managing agent and its or their respective affiliates, principals, shareholders, officers, directors, partners, members, trustees, fiduciaries, servants, agents and employees from and against any and all liabilities, damages, suits, causes, actions, penalties, costs, charges, fees and expenses, including, without limitation, attorneys' fees and disbursements, for death or injury to any person or damage to any property whatsoever (including water tables and atmosphere) or otherwise resulting from Tenant's failure to comply with its obligations, duties and responsibilities under this Article. For purposes of this indemnity, Tenant shall have the burden of proof to establish any pre-existing environmental conditions affecting the Demised Premises by conducting an environmental audit of the property. Any acts or omissions of Tenant or its employees, agents, customers, invitees, sub-lessees, assignees, contractors or sub-contractors (whether or not they are negligent, intentional, willful or unlawful) shall be strictly attributable to Tenant hereunder. Tenant agrees to execute affidavits, representations and the like from time to time at Landlord's request conveying Tenant's best knowledge and belief regarding the presence of Hazardous Materials in the Demised Premises.

Tenant shall at its own expense procure, maintain in effect and comply with all conditions of any and all permits, licenses and other governmental and regulatory approvals required for Tenant's use of the Demised Premises, including, without limitation, discharge of (appropriately treated) materials or waste into or through any sanitary sewer system serving the Demised Premises. Except as discharged in strict accordance and conformity with all applicable Environmental Laws, Tenant shall cause any and all Hazardous Materials handled by or introduced by Tenant to be removed from the Demised Premises and transported solely by duly licensed facilities for final disposal of such Hazardous Materials. Tenant shall in all respects handle any and all Hazardous Materials in, on, under or about the Demised Premises in complete conformity with all applicable Environmental Laws and prudent industry practice regarding the management of such Hazardous Materials. All reporting obligations to the extent imposed upon Tenant by Environmental Laws are solely the responsibility of Tenant. Upon expiration or termination of this Lease, Tenant shall cause all Tenant's Hazardous Materials to be removed from the Demised Premises and transported for use, storage or disposal in accordance and in compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws. Tenant shall not take any remedial action in response to the presence of Hazardous Materials in, on or about the Demised Premises or in the Industrial Center, nor enter into any settlement agreement, consent, decree or other compromise in respect to any











claims relating to or in any way connected with the Demised Premises or the Industrial Center without first notifying Landlord of Tenant's intention to do so and affording Landlord thirty (30) days to appear, intervene or otherwise appropriately assert and protect Landlord's interest with respect thereto. In addition, at Landlord's request, at the expiration of the Lease Term, Tenant shall remove all tanks or fixtures which were placed on the Demised Premises during the Lease Term and which contain, have contained or are contaminated with, Hazardous Materials.

Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord in writing of (a) any enforcement, clean-up, removal or other governmental or regulatory action instituted, completed or threatened pursuant to any Environmental Laws with respect to the Demised Premises; (b) any claim made or threatened by any person against Landlord or the Demised Premises relating to damage, contribution, cost recovery, compensation, loss or injury resulting from or claimed to result from any Hazardous Materials; and (c) any reports made to any environmental agency arising out of or in, on or about the Demised Premises or in connection with any Hazardous Materials removed from the Demised Premises, including any complaints, notices, warnings, reports or asserted violations in connection therewith. Tenant shall also provide to Landlord, as promptly as possible, and in any event within five (5) business days after Tenant first receives or sends the same, copies of all claims, reports, complaints, notices, warnings or asserted violations relating in any way to the Demised Premises or Tenant's use thereof. Upon written request of Landlord (to enable Landlord to defend itself from any claim or charge related to any Environmental Law), Tenant shall promptly deliver to Landlord lists of Hazardous Materials removed or to be removed from the Demised Premises. All such lists shall list the Tenant or its agent as a responsible party and in no way shall attribute responsibility for any such Hazardous Materials to Landlord.

"Hazardous Materials" means: (a) any material or substance; (i) which is defined or becomes defined as a "hazardous substance," "hazardous waste," "infectious waste," "chemical mixture or substance," or "air pollutant" under Environmental Laws; (ii) containing asbestos, urea formaldehyde or polychlorinated biphenyls, (iii) which is oil or petroleum product, (iv) which is radioactive; (v) which is infectious waste, biological agents, bacteria and viruses; or (b) any other material or substance displaying toxic, reactive ignitable or corrosive characteristics, as all such terms are used in their broadest sense, and are defined or become defined by Environmental Laws.

If any lender or governmental agency requires Landlord to test for a release of Hazardous Materials on the Demised Premises, or if Landlord reasonable believes that Tenant may have violated an Environmental Law or the terms of this Article, Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days following Landlord's demand, supply to Landlord at Tenant's sole cost and expense an environmental report of the Demised Premises and the use of the Demised Premises addressing Landlord's concerns and demonstrating whether Tenant's use of the Demised Premises has violated or is violating any Environmental Laws, prepared by a reputable independent licensed environmental contracting firm, in form, substance and detail reasonably satisfactory to Landlord. Such report shall be delivered to Landlord and shall be kept strictly confidential by Landlord and Tenant.

Tenant agrees to clean its trucks in compliance with Environmental Laws such that any run off from the cleaning of Tenant’s trucks shall not spill into landscaped areas or drains.

Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord a completed questionnaire, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D, immediately prior to the Commencement Date and, if applicable, immediately prior to the commencement of any renewal term and Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord a completed questionnaire, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E, immediately prior to the expiration of the Lease Term or Tenant's surrender of possession of the Demised Premises, whichever is earlier.

Tenant represents and warrants that, as of the date hereof, Tenant's North American Industry Classification System ("NAICS") code is ###-###-#### and Tenant agrees that it will promptly advise Landlord of any change in Tenant's NAICS code (or the NAICS code of any assignee or sublessee) during the Lease Term. Prior to any assignment of this Lease or subletting of any portion of the Demised Premises and prior to the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease or any sublease, Tenant, at its sole expense, will take all actions to comply with the New Jersey Industrial Site Recovery Act ("ISRA"), if applicable, or provide Landlord with reasonable evidence that ISRA is not applicable. Tenant will also provide Landlord with a duplicate original of the affidavit and any and all other information submitted to the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection ("NJDEP") in connection with such compliance, if applicable. Prior to the termination of this Lease and the cessation of all of Tenant's operations therein, or cessation of industrial operations as defined by NJDEP, if ISRA is applicable, Tenant shall submit all required ISRA forms, reports, letters, and payments which are required due to Tenant's occupancy of the Premises and/or to the actions of Tenant, its employees, contractors or agents. Tenant shall provide draft copies of all ISRA submittals to Landlord for review prior to submission to regulatory agencies. If remediation is required in order to submit a Response Action Outcome Form, such remediation shall be performed by Tenant to standards required under ISRA. The Response Action Outcome Form shall be issued to Landlord subsequent to the end of the Lease Term and vacation of the Demised Premises by Tenant or in accordance with the schedule required by ISRA. If requested by Tenant at the time of execution of this Lease, Landlord will prepare all ISRA related documents, with it understood that all reasonable costs incurred by Landlord in connection therewith will be reimbursed by Tenant.

Landlord represents that as of the Effective Date, it has no actual knowledge of any Hazardous Materials existing on the Building or the Industrial Center other than those Hazardous Materials disclosed in that certain Phase I Environmental Assessment prepared by P.W. Grosser Consulting, Inc. in December 2011, a copy of which was delivered to Tenant's attorney electronically on or about October 23, 2017. Tenant acknowledges receipt of such environmental report and agrees to maintain in confidence such report and not disclose to any third-party the existence of such report and/or the content of such report, except (i) in order to enforce Tenant's rights or Landlord's obligations under this Article 26, (ii) as specifically authorized to do so in writing by Landlord, or (iii) as otherwise required by any legal requirement.

Landlord hereby indemnifies and agrees to defend and hold harmless, Tenant and its managing agent and its or their respective affiliates, principals, shareholders, officers, directors, partners,











members, trustees, fiduciaries, servants, agents and employees from and against any and all liabilities, damages, suits, causes, actions, penalties, costs, charges, fees and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements, for death or injury to any person or damage to any property whatsoever (including water tables and atmosphere) or otherwise resulting from the presence of Hazardous Materials (i) existing prior to the Commencement Date at the Building or the Industrial Center or (ii) introduced to the Building or the Industrial Center at any time during the Term of this Lease to the extent caused by Landlord, its agents, contractors or employees.

The obligations of Landlord and Tenant under this Article shall survive the termination of this

any orders of any governmental authority or any other cause beyond a party's reasonable control, whether or not such other cause shall be similar in nature to those hereinbefore enumerated (any such event an "Unavoidable Delay"), the non-performing party is unable to furnish or is delayed in furnishing any utility or service required to be furnished by such party under this Lease, or is unable to perform or make or is delayed in performing or making any installations, decorations, repairs, alterations, additions or improvements, whether or not required to be performed or made under this Lease, or is unable to fulfill or is delayed in fulfilling any of the non-performing party's other obligations under this Lease, the period of time for performance of such obligation shall be extended for the duration of the Unavoidable Delay. Nothing contained in this Section 27.17 shall excuse the payment of any sums required to be paid under this Lease.

ARTICLE 28. SECURITY DEPOSIT

Section 28.1. Tenant has deposited the sum of Thirty Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($30,000.00) with Landlord as a "Security Deposit" which shall be held by Landlord as security for the punctual performance by Tenant of each and every obligation of it under this Lease. In the event of any default by Tenant (beyond applicable notice and cure periods), Landlord may apply or retain all or any part of the Security Deposit to cure the default or to reimburse Landlord for any sum which Landlord may spend by reason of the default and for which Tenant is liable under the terms of this Lease, without thereby waiving any other rights or remedies of Landlord with respect to such default. In the case of every such application or retention Tenant shall on demand, pay to Landlord the sum so applied or retained which shall be added to the Security Deposit so that the same shall be restored to Thirty Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($30,000.00). If at the end of the Lease Term, Tenant shall not be in default under this Lease (beyond applicable notice and cure periods), but not otherwise, the Security Deposit shall be returned to Tenant within thirty (30) days to the extent same has not been retained or applied by Landlord in accordance with the provisions of hereof. There shall be no interest payable on the Security Deposit. Tenant agrees that except for an assignment in connection with an assignment of Tenant's interest under this Lease in accordance with the provisions of Article 17, Tenant shall not assign or encumber any part of the Security Deposit, and no assignment or encumbrance by Tenant of all or any part of the Security Deposit shall be binding upon Landlord, whether made prior to, during, or after the Lease Term. Landlord shall not be required to exhaust its remedies against Tenant or against the Security Deposit before having recourse to any other form of security held by Landlord and recourse by Landlord to any form of security shall not affect any remedies of Landlord which are provided in this Lease or which are available to Landlord in law or equity. In the event of any sale, assignment or transfer by Landlord named herein (or by any subsequent Landlord) of its interest in the Building or Industrial Center as owner or lessee, Landlord (or such subsequent owner) shall assign or transfer the Security Deposit to its grantee, assignee or transferee and, in the event of such assignment or transfer, Landlord named herein, (or such subsequent Landlord) shall have no liability to Tenant for the return of the Security Deposit and Tenant shall look solely to the grantee, assignee or transferee for such return. A lease of the entire Building or Industrial Center shall be deemed a transfer within the meaning of the foregoing sentence.

ARTICLE 29. RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER

Section 29.1. Tenant's Right of First Offer. Provided that (a) Tenant is not then in default under any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Lease on Tenant's part to be observed or










performed beyond applicable notice and cure periods and (b) the original named Tenant of this Lease (i.e., Immunomedics, Inc.) or any assignee or subtenant for which Landlord's consent was not required under the terms of this Lease, in contradistinction to any other subtenants or other occupants, shall then be leasing the entire Demised Premises then Tenant shall have the one-time right (sometimes referred to herein as "Tenant's First Offer Right"), subject to the provisions of this Lease, exercisable in accordance with the provisions of Section 29.2, to lease the entirety of the first space in the Building which is contiguous to the Demised Premises (such space, the "Additional Space"), which becomes "available for leasing" during the Lease Term. No Additional Space shall be deemed "available for leasing" if(a) the then tenant of the Additional Space or any assignee, successor, subtenant or other occupant holding through or under such tenant, shall enter into (i) any Lease with Landlord extending the letting Lease affecting the Additional Space or (ii) any new lease with Landlord affecting the Additional Space, or (b) any other tenant of the Building or any assignee or successor of such other tenant shall have or shall exercise any contractual option or right which it has as of the date of this Lease to lease the Additional Space (whether the Additional Space in question is specifically referred to in any such contractual option or right or Landlord must utilize such Additional Space in question in order to satisfy such contractual option or right). Without limiting the foregoing, so long as a tenant or other occupant leases or occupies a portion of the applicable Additional Space, Landlord shall be free to extend any such tenancy or occupancy, whether or not pursuant to a lease or other Lease, and such space shall not be deemed to be available for leasing. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 29.1, Tenant shall not have the right to lease any Additional Space pursuant to Tenant's First Offer Right which becomes available for leasing if, the Expected Vacancy Date (as defined in Section 29.2A) as set forth in Landlord's Availability Notice (as defined in Section 29.2A) is later than the date two (2) years immediately preceding the then current Expiration Date of the Lease unless Tenant simultaneously with its giving of Tenant's First Offer Notice exercises its Renewal Option (as defined in Section 30.1).

Section 29.2. - Notice of Availability and Tenant's Exercise of Option.

A. In the event that the Additional Space shall become or about to become available for leasing in accordance with the provisions of Section 21.1, Landlord shall give notice thereof to Tenant (any such notice is referred to as an "Landlord Availability Notice"), which Landlord's Availability Notice shall contain (i) the date such Additional Space is expected to be vacant or available for leasing; (ii) the Minimum Rent and other material financial terms upon which Landlord is willing to Lease the Additional Space to Tenant. Landlord's Availability Notice may be given not more than eighteen (18) months prior to the date set forth in such Landlord's Availability Notice upon which such Additional Space is expected to become vacant and available for leasing (the date set forth in Landlord's Availability Notice on which such Additional Space is expected to become available for leasing is sometimes referred to as an "Expected Vacancy Date"). Upon Landlord giving Tenant a Landlord's Availability Notice, Tenant may exercise Tenant's First Offer Right with respect to the entire Additional Space only and only by notice given to Landlord within twenty (20) days next following the date of the giving of such Landlord's Availability Notice, and by giving such notice Tenant shall thereby lease and add such Additional Space to the Demised Premises for a term to begin, subject to Section 29.3, on the Expected Vacancy Date for a term co-terminous with the Lease Term for the Demised Premises; any notice given by Tenant to Landlord exercising such Tenant's First Offer Right is referred to as "Tenant's First Offer Notice".










B. It is understood and agreed that "time is of the essence" with respect to Tenant's exercise of its Tenant's First Offer Right pursuant to this Article and that if Tenant does not exercise such Tenant's First Offer Right within the twenty (20) day time limitation set forth in Subsection A above, (i) any notice purporting to exercise such Tenant's First Offer Right given after the expiration of such time limitation shall be void and of no force and effect, (ii) Tenant shall have no further right to lease the Additional Space, and (iii) Tenant shall have no further rights under this Article 29. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Landlord offers to lease the Available Space to another party on monetary terms that differ by more than I 0% from those terms set forth in Landlord's Availability Notice, Landlord shall again offer the Available Space to Tenant in accordance with the terms of this Article 29.

C. If Tenant exercises Tenant's First Offer Right in accordance with the provisions of this Article 29, then the Additional Space shall be leased by Tenant upon all of the then executory terms, covenants and conditions as are contained in this Lease, except as otherwise set forth herein, and adjusted to reflect (w) the number of rentable square feet contained in the Additional Space, and (x) that the term applicable to the Additional Space shall, commence on the Expected Vacancy Date, as the same may be accelerated or delayed pursuant to the provisions of Section 29.3, and (y) as otherwise provided in Section 29.4.

Section 29.3. -Acceleration of First Offer Vacancy Date.

A. In the event that the Additional Space shall become available for leasing sooner than the Expected Vacancy Date because of the termination of the term of the lease or occupancy affecting such Additional Space, Landlord shall have the right to accelerate the Expected Vacancy Date to such sooner date upon not less than ten (10) days' notice to Tenant.

B. Holdover Occupant. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge the possibility that all or any of the tenants or occupants of the Additional Space may not have vacated and surrendered the Additional Space to Landlord by the Expected Vacancy Date. Accordingly, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Sections 29.1 or 29.2 or in any Landlord's Availability Notice, if such tenants or occupants shall not have vacated and surrendered the Additional Space to Landlord by the Expected Vacancy Date, then the term applicable to the Additional Space shall commence on the date next following the day upon which the entire Additional Space becomes vacant and Landlord gives notice to Tenant of such vacancy, provided, however, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain possession of the Additional Space.

C. Lease Not Affected. In the event that the provisions of this Section 29.3 shall apply, then, the parties agree that (a) the Expiration Date shall not be affected by operation of the provisions of this Section 29.3; (b) except as expressly set forth in this Section 29.3, neither the validity of this Lease nor the obligations of Tenant under this Article 29 shall be affected by operation of the provisions of this Section 29.3; and (c) Tenant waives any rights under any statute or other law to rescind this Lease or such Tenant's exercise of Tenant's First Offer Right and further waives the right to recover any damages against Landlord which may result from the failure of Landlord to deliver possession of the Additional Space on the Expected Vacancy Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in this Section 29.3, in the event the









Additional Space is not delivered to Tenant within one hundred twenty (120) days after the Expected Vacancy Date, Tenant shall have the right to rescind its exercise of Tenant's First Offer Right upon ten (10) days' notice to Landlord.

Section 29.4. - Lease of Additional Space. If Tenant shall timely exercise Tenant's First Offer Right in accordance with the provisions of this Article then as of the effective commencement date of the term applicable to the Additional Space this Lease shall be modified as follows:

A. The Demised Premises shall include the Additional Space (together with all appurtenances, fixtures, improvements, additions and other property attached thereto or installed therein at the commencement of the term applicable to the Additional Space or at any time during said term, other than Tenant's Personal Property) for all purposes of this Lease;

B.     The Minimum Rent and Additional Rent shall be increased as specified in
Landlord's Availability Notice;

C. The area of the Additional Space and Tenant's Pro-rata Share shall be as set forth in Landlord's Availability Notice; and

D. The Lease shall be modified to reflect any such other terms as are specified in Landlord's Availability Notice.

E.     The term with respect to the Additional Space shall expire on the Expiration Date.

Section 29.5. - Condition of Additional Space. Tenant agrees to accept the Additional Space in the condition which shall exist on the commencement date of the term applicable thereto "as is" and further agrees that Landlord shall have no obligation to perform any work or make any installations in order to prepare the Additional Space for Tenant's occupancy.

Section 29.6. - Waiver. If Tenant fails to exercise Tenant's First Offer Right within the time period set forth in Section 29.2, Tenant shall be deemed to have waived its right to lease the Additional Space, Tenant shall have no further right to lease the Additional Space and Tenant's right of first offer shall be null and void and of no further force or effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Landlord offers to lease the Available Space to another party on monetary terms that differ by more than 10% from those terms set forth in Landlord's Availability Notice, Landlord shall again offer the Available Space to Tenant in accordance with the terms of this Article 29.

ARTICLE 30. TENANT'S SINGLE RENEWAL OPTION

Section 30.1. Exercise of Option. Tenant shall have the right, to renew the Lease Term for all of the Demised Premises for a single renewal term (the "Renewal Term") often (10) years by irrevocable notice (the "Renewal Notice") delivered to Landlord not less than twelve (12) months prior to the Expiration Date of the Initial Lease Term, time being of the essence; provided, however, that (a) Tenant shall not be in default beyond applicable notice and cure periods under









any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Lease on Tenant's part to be observed and performed either on the date the Renewal Notice is given or on the Renewal Term Commencement Date (as hereinafter defined), and (b) the Tenant named herein (i.e., Immunomedics, Inc.) shall not have assigned this Lease other than to an assignee for which Landlord's consent is not required hereunder. Upon the giving of the Renewal Notice, this Lease shall be deemed renewed for the Renewal Term with the same force and effect as if the Renewal Term had originally been included in the Lease Term. The Renewal Term shall commence on the day after the Expiration Date of the Lease Term (the "Renewal Term Commencement Date") and shall terminate on the day preceding the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Renewal Term Commencement Date or such earlier date as this Lease shall terminate pursuant to any of the terms of this Lease.

Section 30.2. Terms. All of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease shall continue in full force and effect during the Renewal Term, except that (a) the Minimum Rent for the first five (5) years of the Renewal Term shall be equal to the greater of (i) the Fair Market Value (as hereinafter defined) and (ii) the annual Minimum Rent then in effect at the expiration of the Initial Lease Term, (b) the Minimum Rent for the remainder of the Renewal Term shall be increased based upon the CPI Increase (as defined in Schedule 1) and (c) Tenant shall have no further right to renew the Lease Term. Any termination, cancellation or surrender of the entire interest of Tenant under this Lease at any time during the Lease Term shall terminate any right of renewal of Tenant hereunder.

Section 30.3. Fair Market Value and Renewal Term Rent. "Fair Market Value" shall mean the fair market annual rental value of the Demised Premises at the commencement of the Renewal Term for a term equal to the first five (5) years of the Renewal Term, as determined by Landlord based on comparable space in the Building, and other comparable buildings in the market including all of Landlord's services provided for in this Lease, and with the Demised Premises considered as vacant, and in the "as is" condition existing on the Renewal Term Commencement Date. The calculation of Fair Market Value shall also be adjusted to take into account all relevant factors. Prior to the commencement of the Renewal Term, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant Landlord's determination of Minimum Rent during the Renewal Term. If Landlord determines that the Minimum Rent during the Renewal Term is the annual Minimum Rent then in effect at the expiration of the initial Lease Term, such determination shall be binding on Landlord and Tenant and Tenant shall have no right to dispute the same. If Landlord determines that the Minimum Rent during the Renewal Term is Fair Market Value, Tenant may dispute such determination as provided in Section 30.4 below.

Section 30.4. Arbitration. If Tenant shall dispute Landlord's determination of Fair Market Value, Tenant shall give notice to Landlord of such dispute within ten (10) business days after the delivery of Landlord's determination to Tenant. Thereafter for a period of thirty (30) days, Landlord and Tenant shall work diligently and in good faith to agree on the Fair Market Value. If no notice of dispute is given by Tenant within such ten (10) business day period (time being of the essence), then Landlord’s determination shall be binding upon Tenant. If Landlord and Tenant fail to agree on the Fair Market Value during such thirty (30) day period, such dispute shall be determined by a single arbitrator appointed in accordance with the American Arbitration Association Arbitration Rules for the Real Estate Industry. The arbitrator shall be impartial and shall have not less than ten (10) years' experience in the County of Morris related to the leasing of commercial warehouse space in comparable buildings in Morris County, and the fees of the











arbitrator shall be shared by Landlord and Tenant. Within fifteen (15) days following the appointment of the arbitrator, Landlord and Tenant shall attend a hearing before the arbitrator at which each party shall submit a report setting forth its determination of Fair Market Value, together with such information on comparable rentals and such other evidence as such party shall deem relevant. The arbitrator shall, within 30 days following such hearing and submission of evidence, render his or her decision by selecting the determination of Fair Market Value submitted by either Landlord or Tenant which, in the judgment of the arbitrator, most nearly reflects the Fair Market Value, but in no event less than the annual Minimum Rent then in effect at the expiration of the initial Lease Term. The arbitrator shall have no power or authority to select any Fair Market Value other than a Fair Market Value submitted by Landlord or Tenant or to modify any of the provisions of this Lease, and the decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding upon Landlord and Tenant. Prior to the determination of the arbitrator, Tenant shall pay Minimum Rent based on Landlord's determination of Fair Market Value submitted to Tenant pursuant to Section 29.3, and following the arbitrator's final determination, the amount of any overpayment or underpayment shall be appropriately adjusted between the parties.

Section 30.5. Agreement of Terms. Landlord and Tenant, at either party's request, shall promptly execute and exchange an appropriate agreement evidencing the extension of the Lease Term for the applicable Renewal Term, and the terms thereof in a form reasonably satisfactory to both parties, but no such agreement shall be necessary in order to make the provisions hereof effective.


ARTICLE 31. TENANT'S SELF-HELP

Section 31.1. Tenant's Self-Help. If Landlord shall default in the performance or observance of any agreement or condition in this Lease contained on its part to be performed or observed with respect to the Demised Premises that could cause Tenant to be in violation of any legal requirements, and if Landlord shall not cure such default within twenty (20) days after notice from Tenant specifying the default and following five (5) days after a second "reminder" notice from Tenant, (or shall not within said period commence to cure such default and thereafter prosecute the curing of such default to completion with due diligence), Tenant may at its option, without waiving any claim for damages for breach of agreement, at any time thereafter cure such default for the account of Landlord and any reasonable amount paid or any contractual liability incurred by Tenant in so doing shall be deemed paid or incurred for the account of Landlord, and Landlord agrees to reimburse Tenant therefor or save Tenant harmless therefrom; provided that Tenant may cure any such default as aforesaid prior to the expiration of said waiting period, but after notice to Landlord (and in the case of the removal of snow and/or ice from the Common Facilities, prior to said notice to Landlord), if the curing of such default prior to the expiration of said waiting period is reasonably necessary to protect the real estate or Tenant's interest therein, to prevent injury or damage to persons or property, or to enable Tenant to conduct its business in the Demised Premises. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the case of emergency, notice required pursuant to this Article may be given orally, or in any other reasonably due and sufficient manner having regard to the emergency and the attending circumstances. If any such notice shall not be given in the manner described in this Lease, then, as soon thereafter as






may be practicable such notice shall be followed up by notice given in the manner described in herein.


ARTICLE 32. LANDORD'S REPRESENTATIONS

Section 32.1. Landlord hereby represents and warrants to Tenant that as of the date of execution and delivery of this Lease:
