Tenant has inspected the Building and the Premises and is thoroughly acquainted with their respective condition.

        2.3    Commencement Date Agreement.    When the Commencement Date occurs, Landlord and Tenant shall enter into an agreement in the form annexed hereto as Schedule D memorializing the Commencement Date and Termination Date of this Lease.

5


        2.4    Move-In Day.    If any portion of the move takes place on weekends, business holidays or after 7:00 PM on weekdays, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, on the next Basic Rent Payment Date, an overtime charge of $50.00 per hour or part thereof until 11:00 PM. Tenant shall be responsible for any damage caused to the Premises, the Building and/or the Property by Tenant or its moving contractors.

        2.5    Base Building Work.    (a) Landlord shall construct the Base Building Work, at its sole cost and expense, and the Tenant Finish Work, at the sole cost and expense of Tenant (subject to the contribution of the Tenant Finish Work Allowance by Landlord) in the manner and as provided in Schedule C attached hereto. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord has no obligation to perform any work to the Storage Shed and that Tenant is taking the Storage Shed in "as-is" condition. In connection with the performance of the Base Building Work and the Tenant Finish Work, Landlord agrees that it shall obtain warranties containing commercially reasonable terms.

        (b)   In the event that Landlord fails to timely pay all or a portion of the Tenant Finish Work Allowance to contractor(s) performing the Tenant Finish Work and such failure interferes with the completion of Tenant Finish Work, Tenant shall have the right to give Landlord a notice describing Landlord's failure to timely fund the Tenant Finish Work Allowance. If Landlord shall fail to fund the Tenant Finish Work Allowance within five (5) days after receipt of such notice, then Tenant shall have the right to send Landlord a second notice after the expiration of said period which is substantially the same as the following statement (in at least 18 point bold type): "PURSUANT TO SECTION 2.5(b) OF THE LEASE, IF, WITHIN FIVE (5) DAYS AFTER LANDLORD'S RECEIPT OF THIS SECOND NOTICE, LANDLORD FAILS TO FUND THAT PORTION OF THE TENANT FINISH WORK NOW DUE AND OWING, THEN TENANT SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT, UPON NOTICE TO LANDLORD, TO PAY SUCH AMOUNTS TO THE APPLICABLE CONTRACTOR(S) AND OFFSET SUCH PAYMENTS AGAINST THE NEXT INSTALLMENTS OF BASIC RENT DUE AND PAYABLE BY TENANT." If Landlord fails to make such payments within said five(5) day period, then Tenant may exercise its right to make such payments and offset such payments together with interest thereon at a rate equal to the Default Rate (as hereinafter defined) against the next installments of Basic Rent, provided, that, prior to offsetting such payments, Tenant delivers to Landlord evidence of the amount paid by Tenant.


ARTICLE 3
BASIC RENT; ADDITIONAL RENT

        3.1    Basic Rent.    Tenant shall pay the Basic Rent to Landlord in lawful money of the United States of America in equal monthly installments, in advance, on the Basic Rent Payment Dates, commencing on the Commencement Date. If the Commencement Date is not a Basic Rent Payment Date, the Basic Rent for the month in which the Commencement Date occurs will be prorated and Tenant shall pay such prorated amount to Landlord on the Commencement Date.

        3.2    Additional Rent.    In addition to the Basic Rent, Tenant shall pay and discharge when due, as additional rent ("Additional Rent"), all other amounts, liabilities and obligations which Tenant herein agrees to pay to Landlord, together with all interest, penalties and costs which may be added thereto pursuant to the terms of this Lease.

        3.3    Late Charge.    If any installment of Basic Rent or Additional Rent is not paid within ten (10) days after notice of such non-payment, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, on demand, a late charge equal to three percent (3%) of the amount unpaid. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the immediately preceding sentence, if Tenant fails to pay any Basic Rent or Additional Rent when due more than once in any calendar year, then Tenant shall be responsible for the late charge described in the immediately preceding sentence without the requirement of Landlord delivering written notice to Tenant of its default. The late charge is not intended as a penalty but is intended to compensate Landlord for the extra expense Landlord will incur to send out late notices and handle other matters

6



resulting from the late payment. In addition, any installment or installments of Basic Rent or Additional Rent that are not paid within ten (10) days after the date when due, will bear interest at the lesser of: (i) two percent (2%) over the interest charged by the holder of the mortgage encumbering the Property at such time (or three percent (3%) over the Prime Rate if the Property is not encumbered by a mortgage) (the "Default Rate"), or (ii) the highest legal rate permitted by law. Any interest due as set forth in the preceding sentence shall be calculated from the due date of the delinquent payment until the date of payment, which interest will be deemed Additional Rent and shall be payable by Tenant upon demand by Landlord.

        3.4    Prorating Rent.    If any Lease Year consists of a period of less than twelve (12) full calendar months, payments of Basic Rent and Additional Rent, will be prorated on the basis of a thirty (30) day month or 360-day year, unless otherwise provided.

        3.5    No Abatement or Set-off.    Except as herein provided, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, at Landlord's address for notices hereunder, or such other place as Landlord may from time to time designate, without any offset, set-off, counterclaim, deduction, defense, abatement, suspension, deferment or diminution of any kind (i) the Basic Rent, without notice or demand, (ii) Additional Rent, and (iii) all other sums payable by Tenant hereunder. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, this Lease will not terminate, nor will Tenant have any right to terminate or avoid this Lease or be entitled to the abatement of any Basic Rent, Additional Rent or other sums payable hereunder or any reduction thereof, nor will the obligations and liabilities of Tenant hereunder be in any way affected for any reason. The obligations of Tenant hereunder are separate and independent covenants and agreements.

        3.6    Invoices.    If Landlord issues monthly or other periodic rent billing statements to Tenant, the issuance or non-issuance of such statements will not affect Tenant's obligation to pay Basic Rent and the Additional Rent set forth in Sections 4.3 and 5.3, all of which are due and payable on the Basic Rent Payment Dates.


ARTICLE 4
REAL ESTATE TAXES

        4.1    Taxes.    Tenant shall pay to Landlord the Taxes for any Lease Year during the Term; provided, however, that if any special assessments may be paid in installments, Landlord shall elect to pay same over the longest period allowed by law.

        4.2    Landlord's Tax Statement.    As soon as reasonably possible after the Commencement Date and thereafter as soon as reasonably practical after the end of each succeeding Lease Year, Landlord shall determine the Taxes for the Lease Year in question and shall submit such information to Tenant in a written statement ("Landlord's Tax Statement"). Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to issue Landlord's Tax Statement within one hundred twenty (120) days following the end of each Lease Year. Landlord's failure to render Landlord's Tax Statement for any Lease Year will not prejudice Landlord's right to thereafter render Landlord's Tax Statement with respect to such Lease Year or with respect to any other Lease Year, nor will the rendering of any Landlord's Tax Statement prejudice Landlord's right to thereafter render a revised Landlord's Tax Statement for the applicable Lease Year.

        4.3    Monthly Tax Payment.    Commencing on the first Basic Rent Payment Date following the submission of Landlord's Tax Statement and continuing thereafter on each successive Basic Rent Payment Date until Landlord renders the next Landlord's Tax Statement, Tenant shall pay to Landlord on account of its obligation under Section 4.1, a sum (the "Monthly Tax Payment") equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the Taxes for such Lease Year. Tenant's first Monthly Tax Payment after receipt of Landlord's Tax Statement shall be accompanied by the payment of an amount equal to the product of the number of full months, if any, within the Lease Year which have elapsed prior to such first Monthly Tax Payment, times the Monthly Tax Payment; minus any Additional Rent already paid by Tenant on

7



account of its obligation under Section 4.1 for such Lease Year. From time to time during any Lease Year, Landlord may revise the Landlord's Tax Statement and adjust Tenant's Monthly Tax Payment to reflect any actual adjustments in Taxes imposed by the Township of Parsippany, in which event Tenant shall pay, along with the next monthly payment due, the difference (if any) between the aggregate amount of Tenant's Monthly Tax Payments theretofore made on account of its obligation under Section 4.1 for such Lease Year, and the amount which would have been payable by Tenant during such Lease Year had Landlord billed Tenant for the revised Monthly Tax Payment for such prior elapsed months during such Lease Year. Thereafter, Tenant shall pay the revised monthly estimate in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4.3. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 4.3, (i) from the Commencement Date until the day immediately preceding the Phase 2 Premises Commencement Date, Landlord and Tenant shall share equally the Taxes attributable to the Phase 2 Premises and the Phase 3 Premises, and (ii) from the Phase 2 Premises Commencement Date until the day immediately preceding the Phase 3 Premises Commencement Date, Landlord and Tenant shall share equally the Taxes attributable to the Phase 3 Premises.

        4.4    Reconciliation.    

        (a)   Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to deliver to Tenant within one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of each Lease Year, Landlord's final determination of the Taxes for the Lease Year and shall submit such information to Tenant in a written statement ("Landlord's Final Tax Statement"). Each Landlord's Final Statement must reconcile the payments made by Tenant in the Lease Year in question with the actual Taxes imposed for the period covered thereby. Any balance due to Landlord shall be paid by Tenant within twenty (20) days after Tenant's receipt of Landlord's Final Tax Statement; any surplus due to Tenant shall be applied by Landlord against the next accruing monthly installment(s) of Additional Rent due under this Article 4. If the Term has expired or has been terminated, Tenant shall pay the balance due to Landlord or, alternatively, Landlord shall refund the surplus to Tenant, whichever the case may be, within twenty (20) days after Tenant's receipt of Landlord's Final Tax Statement; provided, however, that, if the Term terminated as a result of a default by Tenant, then Landlord will have the right to retain such surplus to the extent Tenant owes Landlord any Basic Rent or Additional Rent.

        (b)    Refund of Taxes.    During the Term, Tenant will have the right, but not the obligation, to seek to obtain a lowering of the assessed valuation of the Property, provided, that Tenant obtains Landlord's written approval of the attorney to be used by Tenant in undertaking such endeavor, which approval Landlord agrees will not be unreasonably withheld. Tenant agrees that it shall not agree upon any lowering of the assessed value of the Property which affects a period prior to the Commencement Date without Landlord's prior written consent, which Landlord agrees shall not be unreasonably withheld. If Tenant receives a refund of Taxes and a portion of such refund applies to a period prior to the commencement, or after the expiration, of the Term, then Tenant shall first deduct from such tax refund any reasonable expenses, including, but not limited to, attorneys fees and appraisal fees, incurred in obtaining such tax refund, and out of the remaining balance of such tax refund, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the portion of such refund applicable to the periods prior to the commencement, or after the expiration, of the Term. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, Tenant will have no right to contest or appeal the validity of any Taxes or the assessed valuation of the Property at any time there occurs an Event of Default. Landlord agrees that it shall not appeal the assessed value of the Property for any period during the Term without the prior approval of Tenant, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.

        4.5    Payment Pending Appeal.    While proceedings for the reduction in assessed valuation for any year are pending, the computation and payment of Taxes will be based upon the original assessments for such year.

8


        4.6    Taxes on Tenant's Improvements.    Tenant shall also pay to Landlord, upon demand, the amount of all increases in Taxes and/or all assessments or impositions made, levied or assessed against or imposed upon the Property or any part thereof which are attributable to additions or improvements in, on or about the Premises made by or on behalf of Tenant or which in whole or in part belong to Tenant.

        4.7    Survival.    In no event will any adjustment in Tenant's obligation to pay Additional Rent under this Article 4 result in a decrease in the Basic Rent. Tenant's obligation to pay Additional Rent, and Landlord's obligation to credit and/or refund to Tenant any amount, pursuant to the provisions of this Article 4, will survive the Termination Date.

        4.8    Bills and Statements.    The provisions of Section 29.3 apply to Landlord's Tax Statement.

        4.9    Rent Tax:    If an excise, transaction, sales, or privilege tax or other tax or imposition (other than Federal, state or local income, transfer taxes or estate taxes) is levied or assessed against Landlord or the Property on account of or measured by, in whole or in part, the Basic Rent and/or Additional Rent expressly reserved hereunder as a substitute for or in addition to, in whole or in part, Taxes or if any assessments and/or taxes are levied or assessed against Landlord or the Property on account of or as a result of the operation and/or existence of Tenant's business, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord upon demand: (i) the amount of such excise, transaction, sales or privilege tax or other tax or imposition lawfully assessed or imposed as a result of Landlord's interests in this Lease or of the Basic Rent and/or Additional Rent accruing under this Lease; and (ii) the amount of any assessments and/or taxes levied or assessed against Landlord or the Property on account of or as a result of the operation and/or existence of Tenant's business in the Property.


ARTICLE 5
OPERATING EXPENSES

        5.1    Operating Expenses.    

        (a)   The Landlord's CAM Expenses and the Insurance Expenses are collectively referred to as "Landlord's Operating Expenses" and shall be determined and paid in accordance with the provisions of this Article 5.

        (b)   Tenant shall pay to Landlord, the amount of Landlord's CAM Expenses for any Lease Year during the Term. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 5.1(b), (i) from the Commencement Date until the day immediately preceding the Phase 2 Premises Commencement Date, Landlord and Tenant shall share equally the Landlord's CAM Expenses attributable to the Phase 2 Premises and the Phase 3 Premises, and (ii) from the Phase 2 Premises Commencement Date until the day immediately preceding the Phase 3 Premises Commencement Date, Landlord and Tenant shall share equally the Landlord's CAM Expenses attributable to the Phase 3 Premises.

        (c)   Tenant shall pay to Landlord, the Insurance Expenses for any Lease Year during the Term. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 5.1(b), (i) from the Commencement Date through the day immediately preceding the first (1st) anniversary of the Commencement Date, Landlord and Tenant shall share equally the Insurance Expenses attributable to the Phase 2 Premises and the Phase 3 Premises, and (ii) from the first anniversary of the Commencement Date through the day immediately preceding the second anniversary of the Commencement Date, Landlord and Tenant shall share equally the Insurance Expenses attributable to the Phase 3 Premises.

        5.2    Landlord's Expense Statement.    As soon as reasonably possible after the Commencement Date and thereafter as soon as practical after each succeeding Lease Year during the Term, Landlord shall reasonably determine or estimate the amount of Landlord's Operating Expenses for the Lease Year in question ("Landlord's Estimated Operating Expenses") and shall submit such information to Tenant in a written statement ("Landlord's Expense Statement"). Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to

9



issue Landlord's Expense Statement within one hundred twenty (120) days following the end of each Lease Year. Landlord's failure to render Landlord's Expense Statement for any Lease Year will not prejudice Landlord's right to thereafter render Landlord's Expense Statement with respect to such Lease Year or with respect to any other Lease Year, nor will the rendering of any Landlord's Expense Statement prejudice Landlord's right to thereafter render a revised Landlord's Expense Statement for the applicable Lease Year. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall Landlord's Estimated Operating Expenses for any calendar year exceed 105% of the amount of Landlord's Estimated Operating Expenses (or Landlord's Operating Expenses, if determined at such time) for the immediately preceding calendar year, unless Landlord has knowledge of an impending increase in the items comprising Landlord's Operating Expenses for such calendar year and delivers detailed evidence of such increase to Tenant.

        5.3    Monthly Expense Payment.    Commencing on the first Basic Rent Payment Date following the submission of Landlord's Expense Statement and continuing thereafter on each successive Basic Rent Payment Date until Landlord renders the next Landlord's Expense Statement, Tenant shall pay to Landlord on account of its obligation under Section 5.1, a sum (the "Monthly Expense Payment") equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of Landlord's Estimated Operating Expenses for such Lease Year. Tenant's first Monthly Expense Payment after receipt of Landlord's Expense Statement shall be accompanied by the payment of an amount equal to the product of the number of full months, if any, within the Lease Year which have elapsed prior to such first Monthly Expense Payment, times the Monthly Expense Payment; minus any Additional Rent already paid by Tenant on account of its obligation under Section 5.1 for such Lease Year. From time to time during any Lease Year, Landlord may reasonably revise the Landlord's Expense Statement (based on Landlord's actual knowledge of an increase in expenses) and adjust Tenant's Monthly Expense Payment to reflect Landlord's revised estimate, in which event Tenant shall pay, along with the next monthly payment due, the difference (if any) between the aggregate amount of Tenant's Monthly Expense Payments theretofore made on account of its obligation under Section 5.1 for such Lease Year, and the amount which would have been payable by Tenant during such Lease Year had Landlord billed Tenant for the revised Monthly Expense Payment for such prior elapsed months during such Lease Year. Thereafter, Tenant shall pay the revised monthly estimate in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.3.

        5.4    Reconciliation.    Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to deliver to Tenant, within one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of each Lease Year (but in any event not later than one hundred eighty (180) days after the end of each Lease Year), Landlord's final determination of the amount of the Landlord's Operating Expenses for the Lease Year in question and shall submit such information to Tenant in a written statement (the "Annual Expense Reconciliation"). Each Annual Expense Reconciliation must reconcile the aggregate of all Monthly Expense Payments made by Tenant in the Lease Year in question with the actual Landlord's Operating Expenses for the period covered thereby. Any balance due to Landlord shall be paid by Tenant within twenty (20) days after Tenant's receipt of the Annual Expense Reconciliation; any surplus due to Tenant shall be applied by Landlord against the next accruing monthly installment(s) of Additional Rent due under this Article 5. If the Term has expired or has been terminated, Tenant shall pay the balance due to Landlord or, alternatively, Landlord shall refund the surplus to Tenant, whichever the case may be, within twenty (20) days after Tenant's receipt of the Annual Expense Reconciliation; provided, however, that if the Term terminated as a result of a default by Tenant, then Landlord will have the right to retain such surplus to the extent Tenant owes Landlord any Basic Rent or Additional Rent.

        5.5    Audit.    For ninety (90) days following Landlord's delivery to Tenant of Annual Expense Reconciliation, Tenant will have the right, during normal business hours and upon no less than five (5) days prior written notice to Landlord, to examine Landlord's books and records for the purpose of confirming the Annual Expense Reconciliation. Tenant will be deemed to have accepted the Annual Expense Reconciliation unless, within fifteen (15) days after Tenant's examination of Landlord's books

10



and records, Tenant delivers an objection notice to Landlord specifying in detail why Tenant believes such the Annual Expense Reconciliation is incorrect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 5.5, Tenant will not be permitted to examine Landlord's books and records or to dispute any Annual Expense Reconciliation unless (i) Tenant has paid to Landlord all amounts due as shown on such Annual Expense Reconciliation, and (ii) Tenant has signed a confidentiality agreement acceptable to Landlord. Tenant shall not engage the services of any legal counsel or other professional consultant who charges for its services on a so-called contingency fee basis for the purpose of reviewing Landlord's books and records.

        5.6    Survival.    In no event will any adjustment in Tenant's obligation to pay Additional Rent under this Article 5 result in a decrease in Basic Rent. Tenant's obligation to pay Additional Rent, and Landlord's obligation to credit and/or refund to Tenant any amount, pursuant to this Article 5 will survive the Termination Date.

        (a)    Bills and Statements.    The provisions of Section 29.3 apply to Landlord's Expense Statement.


ARTICLE 6
ELECTRICITY

        6.1    Cost of Electricity.    From and after the Commencement Date, Tenant shall be responsible for all costs of electricity provided to the Property, which shall be measured by direct meters installed or to be installed at the Property, at Landlord's expense. Tenant shall be responsible for payment of all fees, charges and costs directly to the utility company providing the electricity to the Property, such charges to include, without limitation, usage charges, installation charges, meter reading charges and demand factors.

        6.2    Tenant Not To Exceed Capacity.    Tenant's use of electric energy at the Property shall not at any time exceed the capacity of any of the electrical conductors and equipment in or otherwise serving the Premises.

        6.3    Utility Deregulation.    Tenant will have the right to choose the service providers that deliver electricity to the Property. Landlord shall cooperate with Tenant and such service providers, including granting reasonable access to the electric lines, feeders, risers, wiring, and any other machinery within the Premises, which shall be installed at Tenant's sole cost and expense.

        6.4    Landlord Not Liable.    

        (a)   Landlord will not be responsible for any loss, damage or expenses, and Tenant will not be entitled to any rent abatement, diminution, setoff, or any other relief from its obligations hereunder, on account of any change in the quantity or character of the electric service or any cessation or interruption of the supply of electricity to the Property. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, if there is an interruption in the electric service provided to the Premises, and if Tenant is unable to use all or a portion of the Premises for more than four (4) consecutive business days solely as a result of such interruption, then the Basic Rent shall be proportionately abated during the period from the fifth (5th) consecutive business day to the earlier to occur of (i) the date on which such interruption ceases, or (ii) the date on which Tenant resumes using all or any portion of the Premises for the conduct of business. Notwithstanding the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence, Tenant agrees that the abatement of Basic Rent shall be limited to the amount Landlord actually collects under the rental loss endorsement to its property insurance. Landlord covenants to make and prosecute its claim for rental loss insurance as expeditiously as reasonably possible.

        (b)    Electricity in Phase 2 Premises and Phase 3 Premises.    From the Commencement Date until the day immediately preceding the Phase 2 Premises Commencement Date, Landlord and Tenant shall share equally the cost of electricity provided to the Phase 2 Premises and the Phase 3 Premises. From the Phase 2 Premises Commencement Date until the day immediately preceding the Phase 3 Premises

11



Commencement Date, Landlord and Tenant shall share equally the cost of electricity provided to the Phase 3 Premises. The electricity supplied to the Phase 2 Premises and the Phase 3 Premises shall be determined by Landlord based on the meters installed in the Building.


ARTICLE 7
MAINTENANCE; ALTERATIONS; REMOVAL OF TRADE FIXTURES

        7.1    Tenant's Maintenance.    

        (a)   Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, keep the Property in good order and condition (except for ordinary wear and tear) and, except as provided in Section 7.2, shall make all non-structural repairs, alterations, renewals and replacements and shall take such other action as may be necessary or appropriate to keep and maintain the Property in good order and condition, including, but not limited to, repairs (whether or not capital in nature) to and maintenance of all mechanical, electrical, plumbing, HVAC Systems, elevator systems and equipment, parking areas, roadways, curbs, sidewalks, medians, planters (including repairs and resurfacing thereof), utility supply systems, drainage and sanitary sewerage systems, water supply lines, wells, emergency generators, fire sprinkler and fire suppression systems, security and alarm systems and services, identification signs, public address systems, doors, ceilings and floors of the Building, landscaping (including replacement of trees, shrubs, and other plantings), the replacement of any broken or cracked windows in the Premises and any and all repairs and replacements to the Storage Shed. Except as expressly provided in Section 7.2 hereof, Landlord will not be obligated to maintain, alter or repair the Property. All repairs made by Tenant must be at least equal in quality to the original work. Landlord grants Tenant the right to exercise any rights Landlord may have under warranties granted to Landlord in connection with the Base Building Work and the Tenant Finish Work with respect to any repair obligations of Tenant under this Section 7.1. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 7.1, in no event shall Tenant be required to perform the obligations of Tenant pursuant to this Section 7.1 to (i) the Phase 2 Premises until the Phase 2 Premises Commencement Date, and (ii) the Phase 3 Premises until the Phase 3 Premises Commencement Date.

        (b)   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 7.1(a), if, (i) Tenant replaces any existing component of the Property (other than a replacement of any of the Re-Used Items or a Tenant Capital Improvement defined in Section 10.1), and (ii) such expenditure would be classified as a "capital expenditure" under generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), (a "Qualified Capital Improvement"), then such Qualified Capital Improvement shall be performed by Tenant (except as otherwise provided in this Section 7.1(b)) and paid for by Landlord, provided, however that Tenant shall reimburse Landlord on a monthly basis for the Amortized Cost of such Qualified Capital Improvement as provided in this Section 7.1(b). If at any time Tenant believes that a Qualified Capital Improvement is required to be made to the Property, Tenant shall provide Landlord with (A) a detailed written notice describing the Qualified Capital Improvement, (B) detailed plans and specifications for the Qualified Capital Improvement, (C) the manner in which the Qualifying Capital Improvement is to be performed, (D) Tenant's estimated cost of performing the Qualified Capital Improvement, and (E) Tenant's determination of the useful life of such Qualified Capital Improvement. Within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice, Landlord shall notify Tenant whether or not it approves making such Qualified Capital Improvement and the plans and specification for such Qualified Capital Improvement, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and, if disapproved, Landlord shall state its reasons for disapproval with reasonable specificity. If Landlord does not reply within such thirty (30) day period, Landlord shall be deemed to have approved making, and the plans and specifications for, the Qualified Capital Improvement. If Landlord timely objects to making a Qualified Capital Improvement or to the plans and specifications for such Improvement, Landlord and Tenant shall promptly meet and use good faith efforts to resolve such dispute. If such dispute is not resolved within ten (10) days after Landlord's notice of disapproval, the matter shall be decided by arbitration as provided in this Lease. If Landlord agrees that such Qualified Capital

12



Improvement should be made, Landlord may elect to make such Qualified Capital Improvement pursuant to the plans and specifications submitted by Tenant and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord on a monthly basis for the Amortized Cost of such Qualifying Capital Improvement as provided in this Section 7.1(b). If Landlord agrees that such Qualified Capital Improvement should be made, approves of the plans and specifications and determines not to make the Qualified Capital Improvement, then, provided there shall exist no Event of Default by Tenant, Landlord shall pay to Tenant the cost of the Qualified Capital Improvement in the manner set forth in this Section 7.1(b). For any Qualified Capital Improvement to be made by Tenant, Landlord shall pay Tenant monthly progress payments for the Qualified Capital Improvements equal to the total amount of invoices for the Qualified Capital Improvements which are covered by the applicable monthly requisition by Tenant's architect, less a retainage equal to the lesser of (i) ten percent (10%), or (ii) the retainage set forth in the contract between Tenant and the general contractor for the Qualified Capital Improvements (but in any event such retainage shall not be less than five percent (5%)). Landlord shall make such progress payments within thirty (30) days from and after receipt of a complete AIA Form No. G702 therefor (but not more frequently than one time per month), which requisition shall set forth the names of each contractor, subcontractor, materialman, architect and engineer to whom payment is due and the amount due to each of them, and shall include (i) a certificate from Tenant's architect which certifies that the portion of the Qualified Capital Improvement described in such requisition has been substantially completed in accordance with the approved plans for the Qualified Capital Improvement and that all materials for which payment is requested in such requisition have actually been delivered to the Premises, and (ii) with the exception of the first requisition, copies of waivers of lien, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, from all contractors, subcontractors, materialmen, architects and engineers covering all work, materials and services which were the subject of all previous requisitions. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, if at any time Tenant reasonably believes that a Qualified Capital Improvement is required to be made to the Property, and Tenant's use and enjoyment of all or any part of the Premises is being materially adversely affected because such Qualified Capital Improvement has not been made, or there is a threat of injury to persons or property because such Qualified Capital Improvement has not been made, (collectively, an "Emergency Qualified Capital Improvement"), Tenant will notify Landlord by any means possible and seek Landlord's consent to make, or to have Landlord immediately make, such Emergency Qualified Capital Improvement, and shall have right, before obtaining Landlord's consent, to make such Emergency Qualified Capital Improvement. If Tenant proceeds to undertake the Emergency Qualified Capital Improvement before obtaining Landlord's consent, the parties will meet immediately to resolve any disputes regarding the need, or the plans and specifications, for the Emergency Qualified Capital Improvement, and will submit to arbitration as provided in this Lease any dispute remaining unresolved within thirty (30) days after Tenant has completed an Emergency Qualified Capital Improvement. Landlord will pay for an Emergency Qualified Capital Improvement in the same manner as Landlord pays for a Qualified Capital Improvement, except Tenant will bear the risk, at its sole cost and expense, of any remedial measures required because an Emergency Qualified Capital Improvement was not required, or was improperly completed.

        Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the Amortized Cost (as hereinafter defined) of the Qualified Capital Improvement in monthly installments during the Term, as same may be extended. For purposes hereof, the term "Amortized Cost of the Qualified Capital Improvements" shall mean the actual cost incurred by Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be, in making the Qualified Capital Improvement, amortized over the useful life of the Qualified Capital Improvement as determined in the reasonable judgment of Landlord, together with interest thereon equal to the Prime Rate plus one and three-quarters percent (1.75%). Tenant's reimbursement payments to Landlord for the Amortized Cost of the Qualified Capital Improvement shall commence on the first Basic Rent Payment Date after the completion of the Qualified Capital Improvement.

        7.2    Landlord's Repairs.    Landlord shall make all repairs and replacements to the foundation, the bearing walls, the structural columns and beams, the exterior walls and the roof of the Building (other than the Storage Shed) and shall replace the Re-Used Items; provided, however, that if such repairs and replacements (including repairs and replacements with respect to the Property) are necessitated by the intentional acts or negligence of Tenant or Tenant's Visitors, then Tenant shall reimburse Landlord, upon demand, for the reasonable cost thereof. The costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with such repairs and replacements will be borne by Landlord, at its sole cost and expense, no portion of which shall be charges to Tenant directly or indirectly. In no event shall Landlord have the obligation to make any repairs or alterations to all mechanical, electrical, plumbing or HVAC Systems, except any portion constituting Re-Used Items, or to the Storage Shed.

        7.3    Requirements for Tenant's Maintenance.    All maintenance and repair, and each addition, improvement or alteration, performed by on behalf of Tenant must be (a) completed expeditiously in a good and workmanlike manner, and in compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements and Insurance Requirements, (b) completed free and clear of all Liens, and (c) performed in a manner and by contractors approved by Landlord (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to the extent such work involves any work to any electrical, mechanical, plumbing or other system of the Building, any work to the outside of the Building, any work to the roof of the Building or any work to any structural element of the Building.

        7.4    Permitted Alterations.

        (b)   Tenant shall not make any addition, improvement or alteration to the Land without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. In addition, Tenant shall not make any addition, improvement or alteration of the Premises (i) having an aggregate cost in excess of $450,000.00 (which amount shall be increased (and in no event decreased) each Lease Year by a percentage equal to the percentage increase in the Consumer Price Index during the immediately preceding Lease Year) in any consecutive twelve (12) month period, or (ii) affecting, altering, interfering with or disrupting any electrical, mechanical, plumbing or other system of the Building, or (iii) affecting the outside appearance of the Building, the roof of the Building, the ingress to or the egress from the Premises and/or any structural element of the Building (such work, "Major Work"), unless Tenant submits to Landlord detailed plans and specifications therefor and Landlord approves such plans and specifications in writing (which approval Landlord agrees shall not be unreasonably withheld). Tenant shall obtain Landlord's consent for any contractor that is to perform any Major Work, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

        7.5    Surrender and/or Removal of Alterations.    

        (a)   Each addition, improvement and alteration to the Premises, including, without limitation, the Tenant Work (each a "Tenant Improvement") will, upon expiration of the Term, become the property of Landlord and be deemed to be a part of the Premises unless Landlord, by written notice to Tenant at the time Landlord approves the plans with respect to such Tenant Improvement, elects to relinquish Landlord's right to such Tenant Improvement. If Landlord elects to relinquish its right to any Tenant Improvement, Tenant shall, prior to the Termination Date, remove such Tenant Improvement and promptly repair any damage to the Premises caused by the installation or removal of such Tenant

14


Improvement and restore the Premises to the condition existing prior to the installation of such Tenant Improvement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 7.5(a), in no event shall Tenant be required to remove (i) any of Tenant's Finish Work or Tenant's Additional Work, other than those items which are deemed to be "Specialty Items". For purposes hereof, "Specialty Items" shall mean specialty improvements not ordinarily found in office premises or above standard improvements (i.e., internal staircases, raised flooring, vaults, labs, built-in bookcases, etc.) Landlord agrees that wall coverings and wires installed by Tenant are not Specialty Items.

        (b)    Removal of Improvements.    Tenant may install in, and remove from, the Premises any trade equipment, machinery and personal property belonging to Tenant (such trade equipment, machinery and personal property will not become the property of Landlord), provided that (i) Tenant shall repair all damage caused by such installation or removal; (ii) Tenant shall not install any equipment, machinery or other items on the roof of the Building or make any openings in the roof; and (iii) Tenant shall not install any equipment, machinery or other items on the floor, walls or ceiling of the Premises that exceed the load bearing capacity or compromise the structural integrity of the floor, walls or ceiling of the Premises.

            (v)   Such other insurance as Landlord deems necessary and prudent or as may be required by any Lender or Master Landlord, and provided such insurance is customarily carried by other landlords of "Class A" office building in the vicinity in which the Building is located and is commercially reasonable.

        (b)   The policies of insurance required to be maintained by Tenant pursuant to this Section 14.1 must be reasonably satisfactory to Landlord and must be written as primary policy coverage and not contributing with, or in excess of, any coverage carried by Landlord. All policies must name as the insured parties (except for workers' compensation insurance, business interruption insurance and insurance covering Tenant's fixtures, furniture and equipment) Landlord, Lender, any parties named by Landlord as having an interest in the Premises, and Tenant, as their respective interests may appear. All such policies (except for worker's compensation insurance and business interruption insurance) must (i) provide that thirty (30) days' prior written notice of suspension, cancellation, termination, modification, non-renewal or lapse or material change of coverage will be given to Landlord and that such insurance will not be invalidated by (x) any act or neglect of Landlord or Tenant or any owner of the Property, (y) any change in the title or ownership of the Property, or (z) occupation of the Premises for purposes more hazardous than are permitted by such policy, and (ii) not contain a provision relieving the insurer thereunder of liability for any loss by reason of the existence of other policies of insurance covering the Property against the peril involved, whether collectible or not.

        (e)   If Tenant fails to maintain the insurance required by this Lease, Landlord may, but will not be obligated to, obtain, and pay the premiums for, such insurance. Upon demand, Tenant shall pay to Landlord all amounts paid by Landlord pursuant to this Section 14.1(e).

        (f)    Landlord shall maintain with respect to the Building at all times during the term of this Lease standard all risk property insurance, covering the Building and the systems within the Building in amounts equal to the full replacement cost of the Building (excluding Tenant's Finish Work and Tenant's Additional Work, which shall be the responsibility of Tenant).

        (a)   Notwithstanding any provision in this Lease to the contrary, Landlord hereby waives and releases Tenant, and Tenant hereby waives and releases Landlord, from any and all liabilities, claims and losses for which the released party is or may be held liable to the extent of any insurance proceeds received by the injured party or the proceeds such party would have received had it carried the insurance required of such party pursuant to the terms of this Lease..

        (b)   Each party hereto agrees to have included in its property insurance policies a waiver of the insurer's right of subrogation against the other party. If such a waiver is not enforceable or is unattainable, then such insurance policy must contain either (i) an express agreement that such policy will not be invalidated if Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be, waives its right of recovery against the other party, or (ii) any other form for the release of Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be. If such waiver, agreement or release is not obtainable from a party's insurance company, then such party shall notify the other party of such fact and shall use its best efforts to obtain such waiver, agreement or release from another insurance company satisfying the requirements of this Lease.

        14.3    Indemnification.    

        (a)   Subject to the provisions of Section 14.2(a) and 14.4, Tenant hereby indemnifies, and shall pay, protect and hold Landlord harmless from and against all liabilities, losses, claims, demands, costs, expenses (including attorneys' fees and expenses) and judgments of any nature, (except to the extent Landlord is compensated by insurance maintained by Landlord or Tenant hereunder and except for such of the foregoing as arise from the negligent or willful acts or omissions of Landlord, its agents, servants or employees), arising, or alleged to arise, from or in connection with (i) any injury to, or the death of, any person or loss or damage to property on or about the Premises, (ii) any violation of any Legal Requirement or Insurance Requirement by Tenant or Tenant's Visitors, (iii) performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or other property in respect of the Premises by Tenant, (iv) Tenant's occupancy of the Premises, (including, but not limited to, statutory liability and liability under workers' compensation laws), or (v) any breach or default in the performance of any obligation on Tenant's part to be performed under the terms of this Lease.

21



furnishing of any materials or other property in respect of the Property by Landlord, or (iii) any breach or default in the performance of any obligation on Landlord's part to be performed under the terms of this Lease.

ARTICLE 16
ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING

        16.1    Prohibition.    Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Article 16, Tenant shall not sell, assign, transfer, hypothecate, mortgage, encumber, grant concessions or licenses, sublet, or otherwise dispose of any interest in this Lease or the Premises, by operation of law or otherwise, without Landlord's prior written consent, which consent Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold or delay. Any consent granted by Landlord in any instance will not be construed to constitute a consent with respect to any other instance or request. If the Premises or any part thereof should are sublet, used, or occupied by anyone other than Tenant, or if this Lease is assigned by Tenant, Landlord will have the right to collect rent from the assignee, subtenant, user or occupant, but no such assignment, subletting, use, occupancy or collection will be deemed (i) a waiver of any of Landlord's rights or Tenant's obligations under this Article 16, (ii) the acceptance of such assignee, subtenant, user or occupant as tenant, or (iii) a release of Tenant from the performance of any its obligations under this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have the right to sublet the Premises without Landlord's prior written consent to any third party company which is a party to a business contract with the Tenant for the supply or manufacturing of products, provided that (i) all provisions of this Article 16 except Sections 16.3, 16.5, 16.12 and 16.16 will apply to such sublease and (ii) Tenant shall submit a written notice and a copy of the sublease to Landlord within five (5) days of such sublease.

        16.2    Tenant's Notice.    If Tenant desires to sublet the Premises or assign this Lease, Tenant shall submit to Landlord a written notice ("Tenant's Notice") setting forth in reasonable detail:

            (a)   the name and address of the proposed subtenant or assignee;

            (b)   the terms and conditions of the proposed subletting or assignment (including the proposed commencement date of the sublease or the effective date of the assignment, which must be at least thirty (30) days after Tenant's Notice is delivered to Landlord);

            (c)   the nature and character of the business of the proposed subtenant or assignee;

23


            (d)   banking, financial, and other credit information relating to the proposed subtenant or assignee in reasonably sufficient detail to enable Landlord to determine the proposed subtenant's or assignee's financial responsibility; and

            (e)   in the case of a subletting, space plans showing the location of the portion of the Premises to be subleased and the layout of the portion of the Premises subject to the proposed sublease.

        16.3    Landlord's Response.    Within fifteen (15) days after Landlord's receipt of Tenant's Notice, Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing whether Landlord (i) consents to the proposed sublet or assignment, (ii) does not consent to the proposed sublet or assignment (in which case Landlord shall specify the reasons for such disapproval), or (iii) elects to exercise its recapture right, as described in Section 16.5. Landlord will have the right to withhold its consent to the proposed sublease or assignment if (1) the proposed assignee's financial condition is not, in the reasonable judgment of Landlord, comparable or superior to that of Tenant on the date this Lease was executed, (2) the business of the proposed subtenant or assignee is not compatible with the type of occupancy of the Building, or such business will create increased use of the facilities of the Building, (3) the business of the proposed subtenant or assignee, as determined by its North American Industry Classification System, would make it subject to the provisions of ISRA, or (4) the proposed sublease or assignment might adversely affect the quality or marketability of the Building.

        16.4    Requirements.    In addition to the foregoing requirements,

            (a)   no assignment or sublease will be permitted if, at the effective date of such assignment or sublease, Tenant is in default beyond any applicable notice and grace period under this Lease; and

            (b)   no assignment or sublease will be permitted unless Tenant agrees, at the time of the proposed assignment or sublease and in Tenant's Notice, to pay to Landlord, immediately upon receipt thereof, fifty percent (50%) of all Net Rental Proceeds.

        16.5    Recapture.    

        (a)   If Tenant proposes to assign this Lease or sublease more than seventy five percent (75%) of the rentable square footage of the Premises for a term which expires within three hundred and sixty five (365) days prior to the expiration of the Term, then Landlord will have the right, exercisable by written notice (the "Recapture Notice") to Tenant within fifteen (15) days after receipt of Tenant's Notice, to recapture the space described in Tenant's Notice (the "Recapture Space"). The Recapture Notice will cancel and terminate this Lease with respect to the Recapture Space as of the date stated in Tenant's Notice for the commencement of the proposed assignment or sublease and Tenant shall surrender possession of the Recapture Space as of such date. Thereafter, the Basic Rent and Additional Rent will be equitably adjusted based upon the square footage of the Premises then remaining, after deducting the square footage attributable to the Recapture Space.

        (b)   If Landlord elects to exercise its recapture right and the Recaptured Space is less than the entire Premises, then Landlord, at its sole expense, will have the right to make any alterations to the Premises required, in Landlord's reasonable judgment, to make such Recaptured Space a self-contained rental unit. Landlord shall perform all such work, if any, with as little inconvenience to Tenant's business as is reasonably possible; provided, however, that (i) Landlord will not be required to perform such work after normal business hours or on weekends, and (ii) Landlord will not be deemed guilty of an eviction, partial eviction, constructive eviction or disturbance of Tenant's use or possession of the Premises on account of such work and will not be liable to Tenant on account of same.

24


        16.6    Sublease Requirements.    In addition to the foregoing requirements, each sublease must contain the following provisions:

            (a)   The sublease must be subject and subordinate to all of the terms and conditions of this Lease.

            (b)   At Landlord's option, if this Lease terminates prior to the expiration of the sublease, the subtenant must make full and complete attornment to Landlord for the balance of the term of the sublease. Such attornment must be evidenced by an agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Landlord executed and delivered by subtenant within five (5) days after Landlord's request therefor.

            (c)   The term of the sublease must not extend beyond a date which is one day prior to the Termination Date.

            (d)   The subtenant will not be permitted to further sublet all or any portion of the subleased space or to assign its sublease without Landlord's prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

            (e)   The subtenant must waive the provisions of any law that gives the subtenant any right to terminate the sublease or to surrender possession of the subleased if Landlord brings any proceedings to terminate this Lease.

        16.7    Permitted Transfers.    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 16, any sublease or assignment to a Tenant Affiliate will not require Landlord's consent and will not be subject to Sections16.1 (first sentence only), 16.2, 16.3, 16.4(b), 16.4(c), 16.5 and 16.16, but all other provisions of this Article 16 will apply to such sublease or assignment. Tenant shall furnish Landlord with a copy of such sublease or assignment within five (5) days after execution thereof. "Tenant Affiliate" means any corporation or other entity controlled by, under common control with or which controls the original Tenant named in this Lease or in which original Tenant named in this Lease, directly or indirectly, has a fifty percent (50%) or greater voting or ownership interest, and any corporation resulting from a merger or consolidation with Tenant or any entity that acquires all of Tenant's assets as a going concern of the business that is being conducted on the Premises as long as the assignee or sublessee is a bona fide entity and assumes the obligations of Tenant.

        16.8    Events Constituting Assignment.    Each of the following events will be deemed to be an assignment of this Lease and will require the prior written consent of Landlord:

            (a)   any assignment or transfer of this Lease by operation of law;

            (b)   any hypothecation, pledge, or collateral assignment of this Lease;

            (c)   any involuntary assignment or transfer of this Lease in connection with bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, or similar proceeding;

            (d)   any assignment, transfer, disposition, sale or acquisition of a controlling interest in Tenant to or by any person, entity, or group of related persons or affiliated entities, whether in a single transaction or in a series of related or unrelated transactions; or

            (e)   any issuance of an interest or interests in Tenant (whether stock, partnership interests, or otherwise) to any person, entity, or group of related persons or affiliated entities, whether in a single transaction or in a series of related or unrelated transactions, which results in such person, entity, or group holding a controlling interest in Tenant, excluding transactions with, or resulting in the creation of, a Tenant Affiliate, and excluding transfers of stock on a public exchange. For purposes of the immediately foregoing, a "controlling interest" of Tenant means 50% or more of the aggregate issued and outstanding equitable interests (whether stock, partnership interests, membership interests or otherwise) of Tenant.

25


        16.9    Assumption.    It is a further condition to the effectiveness of any assignment otherwise complying with this Article 16 that the assignee execute, acknowledge, and deliver to Landlord an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord whereby the assignee assumes all obligations of Tenant under this Lease and agrees that the provisions of this Article 16 will continue to be binding upon it with respect to all future assignments and deemed assignments of this Lease.

        16.10    Tenant Remains Liable.    No assignment of this Lease or any sublease of all or any portion of the Premises will release or discharge Tenant from any liability under this Lease and Tenant will continue to remain primarily liable under this Lease.

        16.11    Permits and Approvals.    Tenant will be responsible for obtaining all required permits and approvals in connection with any assignment of this Lease or any subletting of the Premises (but not in connection with work to be performed by Landlord after a recapture of all or a portion of the Premises). Tenant shall deliver copies of all such permits and approvals to Landlord prior to the commencement of any construction work, if construction work is to be done in connection with such sublease or assignment. Tenant shall, upon demand, reimburse Landlord for all costs, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements (which will not exceed $2,000), incurred by Landlord in reviewing any proposed assignment of this Lease, any proposed sublease of the Premises, and any permits, approvals, and applications in connection with any construction to be performed in the Premises.

        16.12    Deadline for Consummation of Assignment or Sublease.    If Landlord consents to any proposed assignment or sublease and Tenant fails to consummate such assignment or sublease within ninety (90) days after Landlord gives such consent, Tenant will be required to again comply with all of the provisions this Article 16 before assigning this Lease or subletting any part of the Premises. Within ten (10) days after the execution of any sublease or assignment, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a fully-executed copy of such sublease or assignment.

        16.13    Intentionally Deleted    

        16.14    Indemnification.    If Landlord rightfully withholds its consent to any proposed assignment or sublease, Tenant shall defend, indemnify, and hold Landlord harmless from and against all liability, damages, costs, fees, expenses, penalties, and charges (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements) arising out of any claims made by any brokers or other persons claiming a commission or similar compensation in connection with the proposed assignment or sublease.

26


        16.15    Bankruptcy.    

        (a)   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, if this Lease is assigned to any person or entity pursuant to the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, all consideration payable in connection with such assignment shall be paid to Landlord and will be and remain the exclusive property of Landlord and will not constitute property of Tenant or of the estate of Tenant within the meaning of the Bankruptcy Code. All consideration constituting Landlord's property under the preceding sentence not paid to Landlord shall be held in trust for the benefit of Landlord and be promptly paid to or turned over to Landlord.

        (b)   If Tenant proposes to assign this Lease pursuant to the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code to any person or entity who has made a bona fide offer to accept an assignment of this Lease on terms acceptable to Tenant, then Tenant shall deliver to Landlord written notice of such proposed assignment setting forth (i) the name and address of such person or entity, (ii) all of the terms and conditions of such offer, and (iii) the adequate assurance to be provided by Tenant to assure such person's or entity's future performance under this Lease, including, without limitation, the assurance referred to in Section 365(b)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code, or any such successor or substitute legislation or rule thereto, shall be given to Landlord by Tenant no later than twenty (20) days after receipt by Tenant, but in any event no later than ten (10) days prior to the date Tenant makes application to a court of competent jurisdiction for authority and approval to enter into such assignment and assumption. For the purposes of clause (iii) above, "adequate assurance" means the deposit of cash security in an amount equal to the Basic Rent and Additional Rent payable under this Lease for the next succeeding twelve (12) months (which annual Additional Rent shall be reasonably estimated by Landlord). Landlord will thereupon have the right, exercisable by written notice to Tenant given at any time prior to the effective date of the proposed assignment, to accept an assignment of this Lease upon the same terms and conditions and for the same consideration, if any, as the bona fide offer made by such entity or person for the assignment of this Lease. Any person or entity to which this Lease is assigned pursuant to the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code will be deemed without further act or deed to have assumed all of the obligations arising under this Lease on or after the date of such assignment. Any such assignee shall, upon demand, execute and deliver to Landlord an instrument confirming such assumption.

        16.16    Landlord's Right to Negotiate.    After Landlord recaptures the Recapture Space, Landlord will have the right to (i) negotiate directly with any proposed subtenant or assignee of Tenant, and (ii) enter into a direct lease with any proposed subtenant or assignee of Tenant for any space in the Building, including the space covered by the proposed sublease or assignment, on such terms and conditions as are mutually acceptable to Landlord and the proposed subtenant or assignee.

        17.2    Premises Not Untenantable.    If the Premises are damaged, but no portion thereof is rendered untenantable, and this Lease is not terminated pursuant to Sections 17.4 or 17.5, Landlord shall, at its own expense, cause the Restoration to be completed as soon as reasonably practicable and the Basic Rent and Additional Rent will not abate.

        17.3    Premises Untenantable.    If the Premises are damaged and rendered partially or wholly untenantable, and this Lease is not terminated pursuant to Section 17.4 or 17.5, Landlord shall, at its own expense, cause the Restoration to be completed as soon as reasonably practicable, and the Basic Rent and Additional Rent will be equitably abated.

        (a)   If (i) the Building is damaged, (ii) in Landlord's reasonable judgment, the total cost of Restoration will equal or exceed forty percent (40%) or more of the full insurable value of the Building, and (iii) in Landlord's reasonable judgment, there will be less than five (5) years remaining in the Term after the Restoration, then Landlord will have the right to terminate this Lease by delivering a written termination notice to Tenant within sixty (60) days after the occurrence of such casualty. If Landlord exercises its right to terminate this Lease pursuant to this Section 17.4, all Basic Rent and Additional Rent will be prorated as of the date such casualty. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Landlord terminates this Lease pursuant to this Section 17.4(a), Tenant will have the right to nullify such termination by exercising its renewal rights pursuant to Section 31.1 within ten (10) days after Landlord notifies Tenant that it has exercised its right to terminate this Lease. If the Premises are damaged during the second Extension Period, then Tenant will have the right to nullify such termination by notifying Landlord in writing within ten (10) days after Landlord notifies Tenant that it has exercised its right to terminate this Lease, of Tenant's desire to extend the Lease for a period of five (5) years. In the event Tenant exercises such extension rights, the Term of the Lease shall be extended for an additional five (5) years (beyond the amount of time remaining in the second Extension Period) in accordance with the terms of Section 31.1, as if Tenant had the right to extend the Term for a third period of five (5) years.

        (b)   If the Building is damaged and, in Landlord's reasonable judgment, Restoration cannot be completed within three hundred sixty five (365) days, Tenant will have the right to terminate this Lease by delivering a written termination notice to Landlord within sixty (60) days after Landlord notifies Tenant that it will take more than three hundred sixty five (365) days to complete Restoration. If Tenant exercises its right to terminate this Lease pursuant to this Section 17.4, all Basic Rent and Additional Rent will be prorated as of the date of such casualty.

        (c)   If more than ten percent (10%) of the Building is damaged and rendered untenantable during the final year of the Term, Landlord and Tenant will each have the right to terminate this Lease by delivering a written termination notice to the other party within sixty (60) days after the occurrence of such casualty (or, with respect to Tenant, within sixty (60) days after Landlord notifies Tenant that more than ten percent (10%) of the Building has been damaged). If either Landlord or Tenant exercises its right to terminate this Lease pursuant to this Section 17.4(c), all Basic Rent and Additional Rent will be prorated as of the date of such casualty. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Landlord terminates this Lease as a result of a casualty in the final year of the Term, Tenant will have the right to nullify such termination by exercising its renewal rights pursuant to Section 31.1.

        (d)   In the event the Lease is not terminated by either Landlord or Tenant as hereinabove permitted, Landlord shall promptly commence and proceed with reasonable diligence to restore the damaged portion of the Property. If Landlord indicates in its notice that damage can be restored within three hundred sixty five (365) days and such damage is not restored within three hundred sixty five (365) days after the date of the casualty, or if Landlord in Landlord's Notice indicates that it will take a period longer than three hundred sixty five (365) days to restore said portion of the Building and said portions are not restored within such longer period, then this Lease and the Term hereof may at the election of Tenant be terminated by notice in writing from Tenant to Landlord, which notice shall be effective thirty (30) days after the giving of such notice if the Premises and the Building have not been restored by that date. If the Building have been restored within said thirty (30) day period from the date the notice is given, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect.

        17.5    Restoration.    If Landlord is carrying the insurance required pursuant to Section 14.1(f) and the Net Award received by Landlord plus the amount of the Landlord's deductible is not adequate to complete Restoration, Landlord will have the right to terminate this Lease by delivering a written termination notice to Tenant within sixty (60) days after the amount of such Net Award is ascertained.

28



If Landlord exercises its right to terminate this Lease pursuant to this Section 17.5, all Basic Rent and Additional Rent will be prorated as of the date of such casualty.

CONDEMNATION

All amounts payable pursuant to any agreement with any condemning authority made in settlement of or under threat of any condemnation or other eminent domain proceeding will be deemed to be an award made in such proceeding. Tenant agrees that this Lease will control the rights of Landlord and Tenant with respect to any Net Award and any contrary provision of any present or future law is hereby waived.

        18.3    Portion of Premises.    In the event of a Taking of thirty (30%) percent or more of the Premises, if Tenant determines in good faith that the Taking will have a permanent, material, adverse affect on Tenant's operations at the Premises, Tenant may, at any time either prior to or within sixty (60) days after the date the condemning authority takes possession of the applicable portion of the Premises, elect to terminate this Lease by delivering a written termination notice to Landlord. If Tenant fails to exercise such termination option, or if such option does not apply to a Taking, (i) Landlord shall, subject to any Excusable Delay and Section 18.4, cause Restoration to be completed as soon as reasonably practicable, but in no event later than ninety (90) days after the date the condemning authority takes possession of the applicable portion of the Premises, and (ii) the Basic Rent and Additional Rent thereafter payable will be equitably prorated based upon the square footage of the Building actually taken.

        18.4    Restoration.    If the Net Award is inadequate to complete Restoration and Tenant has not elected to terminate this Lease pursuant to Section 18.3 hereof, then Landlord may elect either to complete such Restoration or terminate this Lease by delivering a written termination notice to Tenant within sixty (60) days after (i) the date the amount of the Net Award is ascertained, or (ii) the expiration of the sixty (60) day period during which Tenant may terminate this Lease pursuant to Section 18.3. If Landlord terminates this Lease pursuant to this Section 18.4, all Basic Rent and Additional Rent will be apportioned as of the date the condemning authority takes possession of the Premises.

ARTICLE 20
CONDITIONAL LIMITATIONS, REMEDIES

        20.1    Termination.    This Lease and the Term and estate hereby granted are subject to the limitation that, whenever an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Landlord will have the right, notwithstanding the fact that Landlord may have some other remedy hereunder or at law or in equity, to terminate this Lease on a date specified in a written termination notice delivered to Tenant, which date must be at least five (5) days after the date Tenant receives such termination notice. Upon the date specified in Landlord's termination notice, this Lease and the estate hereby granted will terminate with the same force and effect as if the date specified in Landlord's notice was the Termination Date.

        20.2    Remedies.    

        (a)   Upon any termination of this Lease pursuant to this Article 20, or as required or permitted by law, Tenant shall immediately quit and surrender the Premises to Landlord, and Landlord may, enter upon, re-enter, possess and repossess the same, but only through summary proceedings if Tenant remains in possession of the Premises, and again have, repossess and enjoy the same as if this Lease had not been made, and in any such event Tenant and no person claiming through or under Tenant by virtue of any law or an order of any court will be entitled to possession or to remain in possession of the Premises but shall immediately quit and surrender the Premises.

        (b)   If Landlord terminates this Lease pursuant to this Article 20, Tenant will remain liable for (i) the sum of (x) all Basic Rent, Additional Rent and other amounts payable by Tenant hereunder until the date this Lease would have expired had such termination not occurred, and (y) all reasonable expenses incurred by Landlord in re-entering the Premises, repossessing the same, making good any default of Tenant, painting, altering or dividing the Premises, putting the same in proper repair, reletting the same (including any and all reasonable attorneys fees and disbursements and reasonable brokerage fees incurred in so doing), removing and storing any property left in the Premises following such termination, and any and all reasonable expenses which Landlord may incur during the occupancy of any new tenant (other than expenses of a type that are Landlord's responsibility under the terms of this Lease); less (ii) the net proceeds of any reletting actually received by Landlord. Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord the difference between items (i) and (ii) above with respect to each month during the period that would have constituted the balance of the Term, at the end of such month. Any suit brought by Landlord to enforce collection of such difference for any one month will not prejudice Landlord's right to enforce the collection of any difference for any subsequent month. Tenant's liability under this Section 20.2(b) will survive the institution of summary proceedings and the issuance of any warrant thereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 20.2(b), Tenant shall only be liable for the interest on Landlord's costs of painting, altering or making other improvements to the Premises or any brokerage commissions in connection with reletting the Premises at an interest rate equal to the Prime Rate plus three percent (3%) for the period beginning on the date such costs are incurred by Landlord until the date this Lease was originally scheduled to expire.

        (c)   If Landlord terminates this Lease pursuant to Article 20, Landlord will have the right, to require Tenant to pay to Landlord, on demand, as liquidated and agreed final damages in lieu of Tenant's liability under Section 20.2(b), an amount equal to the difference (discounted to the date of such demand at an annual rate of interest equal to the then-current yield on actively traded United States Treasury bills or United States Treasury notes having a maturity substantially comparable to the remaining term of this Lease as of the date of such termination, as published in the Federal Reserve Statistical Release for the week before the date of such termination) between (i) the Basic Rent and Additional Rent, computed on the basis of the then current annual rate of Basic Rent and Additional Rent and all fixed and determinable increases in Basic Rent, which would have been payable from the date of such demand to the date when this Lease would have expired if it had not been terminated, and (ii) the then fair rental value of the Premises for the same period less the costs of reletting

31



expenses, including the cost to paint, alter or divide the space, put the same in proper repair, reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements, reasonable brokerage fees. Upon payment of such liquidated and agreed final damages, Tenant will be released from all further liability under this Lease with respect to the period after the date of such demand, except for those obligations that expressly survive the termination of this Lease. If, after the Event of Default giving rise to the termination of this Lease, but before presentation of proof of such liquidated damages, the Premises, or any part thereof, are relet by Landlord on commercially reasonable basis for a term of one year or more, the amount of rent reserved upon such reletting will be deemed to be the fair rental value for the part of the Premises relet during the term of such reletting.

        20.3    Liquidated Damages.    Nothing herein contained will limit or prejudice the right of Landlord, in any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, to prove for and obtain as liquidated damages by reason of such termination an amount equal to the maximum allowed by any bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings, or to prove for and obtain as liquidated damages by reason of such termination, an amount equal to the maximum allowed by any statute or rule of law whether such amount is greater or less than the excess referred to above.

        20.4    Abandonment.    If Tenant abandons the Premises, Landlord may, at its option and for so long as Landlord does not terminate Tenant's right to possession of the Premises, enforce all of its rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover all Basic Rent, Additional Rent and other payments as they become due hereunder. Additionally, Landlord will be entitled to recover from Tenant all costs of maintenance and preservation of the Premises, and all costs, including attorneys' and receiver's fees, incurred in connection with the appointment of or performance by a receiver to protect the Premises and Landlord's interest under this Lease.

        20.5    Indemnity Survives.    Nothing herein will be deemed to affect Landlord's indemnification rights under Section 14.3.

        20.6    Attorneys Fees.    If either party brings an action or other proceeding to enforce any of the terms of this Lease, the non-prevailing party shall pay the reasonable attorneys fees and costs incurred by the prevailing party in such action or proceeding.

        20.7    Landlord's Cure Rights.    If Tenant is in default of any of its obligations under this Lease, Landlord may, without waiving such default, perform such obligations for the account and at the expense of Tenant (a) immediately and without notice in the case of Emergency or with respect to the imposition of any Lien against all or any portion of the Premises, and (b) in any other case, if such default continues after thirty (30) days from the date Landlord delivers a written notice to Tenant stating Landlord's intention to perform such obligation for the account and at the expense of Tenant, provided, however if such default cannot be cured within such thirty (30) day period, Landlord shall not perform such obligations on behalf of Tenant if Tenant commences to cure such default within such thirty (30) day period and is diligently pursuing to completion and completes such cure as soon as reasonably possible after receipt of Landlord's notice. Upon Landlord's demand, Tenant shall pay to Landlord all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in performing any obligations of Tenant under this Lease.

32


        20.8    Remedies Not Exclusive; No Waiver.    Except as otherwise provided in this Article 20, no remedy or election hereunder will be deemed exclusive but will, wherever possible, be cumulative with all other remedies herein provided or permitted at law or in equity. No provision of this Lease will be deemed to have been waived by Landlord or Tenant unless a written waiver from Landlord or Tenant has first been obtained and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no acceptance of Basic Rent or Additional Rent subsequent to any default and no condoning, excusing or overlooking by Landlord or Tenant on previous occasions of any default or any earlier written waiver will be taken to operate as a waiver by the Landlord or Tenant or in any way defeat or otherwise affect the rights and remedies of the Landlord or Tenant hereunder.

        20.9    Landlord Default And Tenant Cure Rights.    

        (a)   If Tenant believes that Landlord has failed to perform any of its material obligations under Section 7.2 with respect to the maintenance and repair of certain elements of the Building, Tenant shall have the right to give Landlord a default notice describing in reasonable detail the nature of such default by Landlord and demanding that such default be cured. Landlord shall have ten (10) days to respond to Tenant in writing as to whether it agrees or disagrees with Tenant that Landlord is in default of its obligations under Section 7.2. If Landlord does not agree with Tenant or Landlord does not respond within such ten (10) day period and, in either case, Landlord's failure to repair materially affects Tenant's use and occupancy of the Demised Premises, the issue of whether Landlord is in default of its maintenance obligations shall be decided by arbitration pursuant to Section 29.7. If the arbitrator determines that the Landlord is in default of its maintenance obligations, the provisions of Section 20.9(b) shall apply. Likewise, if Landlord agrees with Tenant that Landlord is in default of such maintenance obligations, the provisions of Section 20.9(b) shall apply.

        (b)   If Landlord agrees with Tenant that it is in default of its obligations under Section 7.2, or an arbitrator determines that Landlord is in such default, Landlord shall within fifteen (15) days deliver to Tenant a construction schedule setting forth the time period and manner in which Landlord will cure such default. If Landlord fails to deliver the construction schedule to Tenant within such fifteen (15) day period, Tenant shall be permitted to cure such after Tenant delivering to Landlord the second notice referred to below. If, however, Landlord delivers such construction schedule, Landlord shall have thirty (30) days after the delivery of such construction schedule to cure such default; provided, however, if the nature of such default is such that more than thirty (30) days are required, then Landlord shall commence the cure within said period and thereafter diligently prosecute the same to completion. If Landlord fails to cure the default within said period, as the same may be extended, or provide Tenant with the construction schedule, then Tenant shall have the right to send Landlord a second notice after the expiration of said period which is substantially the same as the following statement (in at least 18 point bold type): "PURSUANT TO SECTION 20.9(B) OF THE LEASE, IF LANDLORD FAILS TO [DELVER THE CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE] OR [CURE (SPECIFY DEFAULT) OR IF APPLICABLE, FAILS TO COMMENCE TO CURE (SPECIFIC DEFAULT)] WITHIN TEN (10) DAYS AFTER LANDLORD'S RECEIPT OF THIS SECOND NOTICE, THEN TENANT SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT, UPON NOTICE TO LANDLORD, TO MAKE SUCH REPAIR." If Landlord fails to either cure the default within the time periods provided above or fails to deliver the construction schedule, as the case may be, then, upon notice to Landlord, Tenant may exercise its right to cure the default. In such event, Landlord agrees to reimburse Tenant for the reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Tenant within thirty (30) days after Landlord's receipt of a reasonably detailed statement, together with appropriate supporting documentation, establishing the amount of such costs and expenses with interest at the Default Rate. If Landlord fails to reimburse Tenant for such reasonable costs and expenses within said thirty (30) day period, then Tenant shall have the right, as long as there is no continuing Event of Default, to deduct said reasonable costs and expenses against the next succeeding monthly installment(s) of Basic Rent with interest at the Default Rate. If it is reasonably determined that as a result of Landlord's default there is an imminent threat of (i) an injury to any person, or (ii) material damage to Tenant's property, or (iii) a material interference with

33



Tenant's ability to conduct its business from the Premises, then such situation shall constitute an emergency and the time periods within which Landlord has to cure the default in question (as set forth above) shall be changed as follows: the thirty (30) day period shall be deemed a five (5) business day period; and the second (2nd) notice shall be a three (3) business day period notice.

ARTICLE 21
ACCESS; RESERVATION OF EASEMENTS

        21.1    Landlord's Access.    Landlord and Landlord's agents and representatives and parties designated by Landlord as having an interest in the Property will have the right to, at all reasonable hours (with advance notice and a representative of Tenant being present), to enter the Premises to: (1) examine the Premises; (2) make repairs and alterations that, in Landlord's reasonable judgment, are necessary for the safety and preservation of the Premises and the Building; (3) show the Premises to prospective new tenants during the last twelve (12) months of the Term; and (4) show the Premises to any mortgagees or prospective purchasers of the Premises. Landlord shall give Tenant three (3) business days prior written notice before commencing any non-emergency repair or alteration.

        21.2    Emergency Access.    Landlord may enter upon the Premises at any time in case of emergency without prior notice to Tenant.

        21.3    No Liability.    Landlord, in exercising any of its rights under this Article 21, will not be deemed guilty of an eviction, partial eviction, constructive eviction or disturbance of Tenant's use or possession of the Premises and will not be liable to Tenant for same.

        21.4    Minimum Inconvenience.    All work performed by Landlord in the Premises pursuant to this Article 21 shall be performed with as little inconvenience to Tenant's business as is reasonably possible.

        21.5    Locks.    Tenant shall not change any locks or install any additional locks on doors entering the Premises without immediately giving to Landlord a key to such lock. If, in an emergency, Landlord is unable to gain entry to the Premises by the unlocking the entry doors thereto, Landlord will have the right to forcibly enter the Premises and, in such event, Landlord will have no liability to Tenant for any damage caused thereby. Tenant will be solely responsible for any damage caused by Tenant's failure to give Landlord a key to any lock installed by Tenant.

        21.6    Reservation of Rights.    Landlord reserves the right to make changes, alterations, additions, improvements, repairs and replacements to (i) those portions of the Premises that Landlord is obligated to maintain and repair pursuant to Section 7.2, (ii) the Building and the Property, and (iii) fixtures and equipment in the Building, in each case as Landlord reasonably deems necessary to comply with any applicable Legal Requirements and/or to correct any unsafe condition; provided, however, that Landlord shall not unreasonably obstruct access to the Premises or unreasonably interfere with Tenant's use of the Premises. Nothing contained in this Article 21 will be deemed to relieve Tenant of any obligation to make any repair, replacement or improvement or comply with any applicable Legal Requirements.

ARTICLE 22
ACCORD AND SATISFACTION

        No payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount than the rent herein stipulated will be deemed to be other than on account of the earliest stipulated rent. No endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any payment of rent will be deemed an accord and satisfaction and Landlord may accept any such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord's right to recover the balance of such rent or pursue any other remedy provided in this Lease.

34


ARTICLE 23
SUBORDINATION

        23.1    Subordination.    

        (a)   This Lease and the Term and estate hereby granted are and shall be subject and subordinate to the lien of each mortgage which may now or at any time hereafter affect all or any portion of the Premises or Landlord's interest therein and to all ground or master leases which may now or at any time hereafter affect all or any portion of the Premises (any such mortgage or ground lease being herein called an "Underlying Encumbrance"), provided that Tenant receives from the holder of such Underlying Encumbrance a Non-Disturbance Agreement referred to in Section 23.1(b). From time to time, upon not less than ten (10) days' prior notice by Landlord, Tenant shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord any and all reasonable instruments required by the holder of any Underlying Encumbrance that may be necessary or proper to effect such subordination, or to confirm or evidence the same, provided that Tenant receives a Non-Disturbance Agreement referred to in Section 23.1(b). Such instrument shall confirm such holder's agreement not to disturb or otherwise diminish Tenant's interests or rights in and under this Lease, as provided in this Section 23.1(b).

        (b)   If Landlord requires Tenant to subordinate this Lease to the lien of an Underlying Encumbrance, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a Non-Disturbance Agreement from the holder of such Underlying Encumbrance in the form described below (a "Non-Disturbance Agreement"). The Non-Disturbance Agreement shall provide that if Landlord's interest in this Lease shall be foreclosed, then, provided Tenant is not in default of any of its obligations hereunder (a) Tenant's occupancy of the Premises shall not be disturbed provided that Tenant shall attorn to and recognize the holder of said Underlying Encumbrance, as Tenant's landlord hereunder, and (b) Tenant's rights hereunder shall remain in full force and effect. Such Non-Disturbance Agreement shall be in such form and substance as the holder of the Underlying Encumbrance shall prescribe provided the same meets commercially reasonable standards for similar transactions. The Non-Disturbance Agreement shall also contain subordination language and provide that if all or any portion of Landlord's estate in the Premises is sold or conveyed to any person, firm or corporation upon the exercise of any remedy provided for in any mortgage or by law or equity, such person, firm or corporation and each person, firm or corporation thereafter succeeding to its interest in the Premises shall not be (a) liable for any act or omission of Landlord under this Lease occurring prior to such sale or conveyance, unless such act or omission continues from and after the date upon which the new owner succeeds to the interest of such prior landlord (in which case, the new owner shall only be liable for the damages arising after the date it succeeds to such interest), (b) subject to any offset, defense or counterclaim accruing prior to such sale or conveyance, (c) bound by any payment prior to such sale or conveyance of Basic Rent, Additional Rent or other payments for more than one (1) month in advance (except prepayments in the nature of security for the performance by Tenant of its obligations hereunder) unless paid in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Lease, and (d) liable for the keeping, observance and performance of the other covenants, agreements, terms, provisions and conditions to be kept, observed and performed by Landlord under this Lease prior to the date such person, firm or corporation acquired title to the Property, provided that, if at the time such person, firm or corporation succeeds to the interest in the Premises the Base Building and the Tenant Finish Work is not completed, such successor shall be responsible for the completion of the Base Building Work and the Tenant Finish Work pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

        23.2    Conveyance by Landlord.    If all or any portion of Landlord's estate in the Property is sold or conveyed to any person, firm or corporation upon the exercise of any remedy provided in any mortgage or by law or equity, such person, firm or corporation (a) will not be liable for any act or omission of Landlord under this Lease occurring prior to such sale or conveyance, (b) will not be subject to any offset, defense or counterclaim accruing prior to such sale or conveyance, (c) will not be bound by any payment prior to such sale or conveyance of Basic Rent, Additional Rent or other payments for more

35



than one month in advance (except for any unapplied security deposit), and (d) will be liable for the keeping, observance and performance of the other covenants, agreements, terms, provisions and conditions to be kept, observed and performed by Landlord under this Lease only during the period such person, firm or corporation holds such interest, provided that, if at the time such person, firm or corporation succeeds to the interest in the Premises the Base Building and the Tenant Finish Work is not completed, such successor shall be responsible for the completion of the Base Building Work and the Tenant Finish Work pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

        23.3    Cure Rights.    In the event of a casualty or an act or omission by Landlord that gives Tenant the right to terminate this Lease or to claim a partial or total eviction, Tenant shall not exercise any such right (other than Tenant's right to make emergency repairs or alterations as set forth in Section 20.9(b)) or make any such claim until (i) Tenant has delivered written notice of such casualty, act or omission to the holder of each Underlying Encumbrance, and (ii) the holder of each Underlying Encumbrance has had a reasonable opportunity to, with reasonable diligence, remedy such casualty, act or omission, provided such holder of the Underlying Encumbrances commences to cure such act or omission within thirty (30) days after the holder receives notice thereof and thereafter diligently prosecutes such cure to completion; provided, however, in no event shall the time for the holder of an Underlying Encumbrance to remedy a casualty, act or omission be extended to include the time required for the holder of the Underlying Encumbrance to obtain possession or control of the Premises by foreclosure or any other means. Landlord shall provide Tenant with the name and current address of the holder of each Underlying Encumbrance.

ARTICLE 24
TENANT'S REMOVAL

        24.1    Surrender.    Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall surrender the Premises to Landlord broom clean in the condition required to be maintained under Article 7. Any personal property remaining in the Premises after the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease will be deemed to have been abandoned by Tenant and Landlord will have the right to retain such property as its own or dispose of such property at Tenant's sole cost and expense.

        24.2    Intentionally Omitted.    

        24.3    Holding Over.    If Tenant, or any assignee or subtenant of Tenant, holds over possession of the Premises beyond the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, such holding over will not be deemed to extend the Term or renew this Lease but such holding over will continue upon the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease except that the charge for use and occupancy of the Premises for each calendar month or portion thereof that Tenant or such assignee or subtenant holds over will be a liquidated sum equal to one-twelfth (1/12th) of 125% times the Basic Rent and Additional Rent (calculated as if the Lease were still in existence) required to be paid by Tenant during the calendar year preceding the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease for the first sixty (60) days of the holdover and 150% times the Basic Rent and Additional Rent (calculated as if the Lease were still in existence) after such sixty (60) day period. The parties recognize and agree that the damage to Landlord resulting from any failure by Tenant or any assignee or subtenant of Tenant to timely surrender possession of the Premises will exceed the amount of the monthly Basic Rent and Additional Rent and will be impossible to accurately measure. If the Premises are not surrendered upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Landlord against any and all losses and liabilities resulting therefrom, including, without limitation, any claims made by any succeeding tenant founded upon such delay. Nothing contained in this Lease will be construed as a consent by Landlord to the occupancy or possession of the Premises beyond the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, take all actions required to remove any assignee or subtenant of Tenant, or other party claiming rights to the Premises under or through Tenant upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Term. The provisions of this Article 24 will survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

The Security will not be deemed to be (x) a limitation on Landlord's damages, (y) a payment of liquidated damages, or (z) an advance of the Basic Rent or Additional Rent. If

37



Landlord uses, applies, or retains all or any portion of the Security, Tenant shall immediately restore the Security to its original amount. If the letter of credit requires renewal, Tenant shall furnish to Landlord evidence of such renewal at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration date of the letter of credit.

Tenant shall not assign, pledge, hypothecate, mortgage or otherwise encumber the Security.

        28.2    Reduction of Letter of Credit.    The Letter of Credit shall be reduced upon the occurrence of the events set forth in this Section 28.2, provided, however, in no event shall the Letter of Credit be reduced below $973,946.25.

        28.3    Return of Security.    Any part of the Security not used, applied, or retained by Landlord shall be returned, without interest, to Tenant within thirty (30) days after the end of the Term, subject to Landlord's final inspection of the Premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Landlord, in its sole discretion, has sufficient evidence that the Security has been assigned to an assignee of this Lease, then Landlord shall return the Security to such assignee and, upon such return, will be released from all liability with respect to the Security.

        28.4    Bankruptcy.    In the event of bankruptcy or other debtor-creditor proceeding against Tenant, the Security will be deemed to be applied first to the payment of rent and other charges due Landlord for all periods prior to filing of such proceedings.

        28.5    Transfer of Security.    In the event of any transfer of title to the Property or the Building or any assignment of Landlord's interest under this Lease, Landlord will have the right to transfer the Security to such transferee, provided that Landlord gives Tenant the name and address of such transferee. Following any such transfer of the Security, Landlord will be automatically released from all liability for the return of the Security provided the transferee has assumed Landlord's obligations with respect to the Security.

ARTICLE 31
EXTENSION OPTION

        31.1    Extension Option.    Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 31.1, Landlord hereby grants to Tenant the right to extend the original Term for two (2) successive periods of five (5) years each (each an "Extension Period"). If Tenant desires to exercise the extension option, Tenant shall notify Landlord on or before the date which is fifteen (15) months prior to the expiration of the original

40



Term or the first Extension Period, as the case may be. If Tenant fails to timely notify Landlord of its election to extend this Lease, Tenant will be deemed to have waived its right to extend the term of this Lease, time being of the essence with respect to the exercise of any extension option. If Tenant exercises an extension option, all of the terms and conditions of this Lease will apply to the applicable Extension Period, except that the Basic Rent for each Extension Period will an amount determined pursuant to Section 31.2. In connection with any extension of the Term, Landlord will not be obligated to do any work to the Premises and will not be obligated to contribute to the cost of any work done to the Premises by Tenant. Tenant's right to exercise the extension option is expressly subject to the condition that, on both the date Tenant exercises the extension option and the commencement date of the Extension Period, Tenant is not in default of any monetary obligation or any material non-monetary obligation under this Lease beyond any applicable cure period. If the foregoing condition is not satisfied on both the date Tenant exercises an extension option and the commencement date of an Extension Period, then any notice exercising the extension option will be automatically null and void.

        31.2    Extension Period Rent.    

        (a)   Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Basic Rent during each Extension Period, ninety-five percent (95%) of the Fair Market Rental Value of the Premises. "Fair Market Rental Value" means the annual basic rent for each year of the relevant period for which, on the terms and conditions of this Lease, a willing landlord would rent the Premises to a willing tenant with neither party being compelled to rent and after appropriate exposure of the Premises to the market for a reasonable period of time, taking into consideration the amount of brokerage commissions to be paid by landlord in connection with the extension. Fair Market Rental Value will not include the cost of improvements or alterations to the Premises which were paid for by Tenant and not reimbursed by Landlord.

        (b)   At least one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the expiration of the initial Term or the first Extension Period, as the case may be, Landlord and Tenant shall endeavor to mutually agree upon the Fair Market Rental Value. If the parties do not agree on the Fair Market Rental Value prior to ninety (90) days prior to the expiration of the initial Term or the first Extension Period, as the case may be, as evidenced by an amendment to this Lease executed by Landlord and Tenant, then, no later than seventy-five (75) days prior to the expiration of the initial Term or the first Extension Period, as the case may be,, Landlord and Tenant shall deliver to each other Landlord's or Tenant's, as the case may be, determination of the Fair Market Rental Value. If the two determinations differ by less than five percent (5%), the Fair Market Rental Value will be the average of the two determinations. If Landlord's and Tenant's determinations of Fair Market Rental Value differ by five percent (5%) or more, then the Fair Market Rental Value will be determined pursuant to Section 31.2(c).

        (c)   If Landlord's and Tenant's determinations of Fair Market Rental Value differ by five percent (5%) or more, then, within ten (10) days each party delivers to the other party such party's determination of the Fair Market Rental Value, Landlord and Tenant shall each appoint one disinterested appraiser having the qualifications set forth herein. Each such appraiser must be a Member of the Appraisal Institute (MAI) and have at least ten (10) years of experience appraising multi-tenanted office buildings in northern New Jersey as a MAI appraiser. If either Landlord or Tenant fails to appoint an appraiser within such ten (10) day period, the appraiser appointed by Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be, shall appoint an appraiser having the qualifications set forth herein. As promptly as possible, but in no event later than thirty (30) days after the appointment of both appraisers, the appraisers shall notify Landlord and Tenant in writing of their determination of the Fair Market Rental Value. The Fair Market Rental Value so selected by the two appraisers will constitute the Fair Market Rental Value for the relevant period, and will be binding upon Landlord and Tenant. If the two appraisers are unable to agree as to the Fair Market Rental Value, but their determinations differ by less than five percent (5%), the Fair Market Rental Value will be the average of the determinations of the two appraisers. If the two appraisers' determinations differ by five percent (5%) or more, then the two appraisers shall, promptly agree upon and appoint a third appraiser having

41



the qualifications set forth herein. The third appraiser shall, within thirty (30) days of appointment, determine which of the two initial appraiser's determination of Fair Market Rental Value is the closest to the actual Fair Market Rental Value, taking into account the requirements of this Section 31.2, and shall notify Landlord and Tenant thereof. The Fair Market Rental Value selected by the third appraiser will constitute the Fair Market Rental Value for the relevant period, and will be binding upon Landlord and Tenant. Upon the determination of the Fair Market Rental Value, Landlord and Tenant shall promptly execute an instrument setting forth the amount of such Fair Market Rental Value. In determining the Fair Market Value, the appraisers will only review the rent payable by other tenants for space in excess of 100,000 square feet in the area that the Building is located.

        (d)   If Tenant becomes obligated to pay Basic Rent for an Extension Period prior to the determination of Fair Market Rental Value pursuant to this Section 31.2, Tenant shall commence paying the Basic Rent in an amount equal to the monthly installment of Basic Rent for the month immediately prior to such Extension Period. Within five (5) days of the determination of Fair Market Rental Value, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the difference, if any, between the Basic Rent paid by Tenant pursuant to the foregoing sentence and the Fair Market Rental value for such period. Each party shall pay the fees and expenses of the appraiser appointed by such party and one-half of the other expenses of any appraisal proceeding, including, if applicable, the fees and expenses of a third appraiser.

ARTICLE 32

        32.1    Roof Rights.    Tenant shall have the right to install, maintain and operate a satellite dish or antenna (the "Dish") and all necessary related equipment on the roof of the Building subject to the following terms, conditions and limitations: (i) the location of the Dish shall be on the roof of the Building in a location reasonably approved by Landlord; (ii) Landlord approves the size of the Dish, (iii) installation, operation, maintenance, repair, replacement and removal of the Dish and related equipment, and any attendant costs and expense, shall be the sole responsibility of Tenant and be subject to Landlord's rules and regulations; (iv) Tenant shall obtain any approval required by any regulatory body having authority over the installation or operation of the Dish and upon Landlord's request, shall deliver evidence of same to Landlord; (v) Tenant's installation or operation of the Dish shall not materially interfere with the operation or any other transmission or receiving device at the Building, (vi) any penetration of the roof shall be performed by contractors selected by Landlord; and (vii) Tenant shall give Landlord reasonable prior notice of the necessity to access the Dish for service, except in the case of an emergency; and (viii) Tenant shall repair any damage to the roof caused by its installation, maintenance, operation or removal of the Dish in a manner prescribed by Landlord.
