2	Title; Costs; Adjustments; Lease to Seller Affiliate.

2.1

Buyer and Seller acknowledge that title to the Property will be transferred to Buyer at Closing.  Title given will be marketable and insurable at regular rates by any reputable title insurance company selected by Buyer which is authorized to transact business in the State of New Jersey and subject to the Permitted Exceptions (as defined below).

2.2

Within twenty (20) days after the date hereof, Buyer, at its expense, shall obtain a commitment for title insurance in a form customarily issued by a title insurer in the State of New Jersey in the full amount of the Purchase Price by any reputable title insurance company licensed to do business in the State of New Jersey, at regular rates, which policy shall insure that the fee simple title to the Property is vested in Buyer free and clear of all liens and encumbrances other than (i) those easements, covenants and agreements of record provided same are not violated by the current condition of the Property or the current use thereof; (ii) taxes not yet due and payable; (iii) present and future zoning and other governmental laws and regulations; and (iv) all facts that would be revealed by an accurate survey of the Property (collectively, the " Permitted Exceptions ").

2.3

If the title to the Property shall not be good and marketable in the condition required hereunder Buyer shall notify Seller thereof specifying the title defects within thirty (30) days of the Execution Date, and Seller shall have a reasonable time not to exceed fifteen (15) days to correct same (during which period the Closing Date shall be adjourned if necessary).  In the event the title condition is not corrected by the end of such fifteen (15) day period, Buyer may either accept the title "AS IS" or terminate this Agreement.

2.4

In connection with the owner's title insurance policy which Buyer intends to obtain at its sole cost and expense in connection with this transaction, Seller undertakes and agrees to provide information to, and execute any and all customary and reasonable certificates and affidavits required by, the issuing title insurance company, in order that Buyer may have any exclusions or exceptions to coverage removed (other than the Permitted Exceptions).

2.5

Seller shall pay for preparation of the deed and for any basic seller's realty transfer tax thereon.  Buyer shall pay for recording the deed, for any buyer's realty transfer tax thereon (i.e. any mansion tax), for all searches, a survey, if required, all title company settlement charges and title insurance costs and for all other financing, conveyancing and closing expenses.  Each party shall pay its own legal fees.

2.6

All Property taxes, assessments for municipal improvements, lienable water and sewer charges and any other such items which are unpaid and assessed or charged against the Property shall be apportioned between Buyer and Seller as of the Closing date.  If at the Closing, the Property is subject to a confirmed or unconfirmed assessment for a municipal improvement for which the work has commenced or any installment has been billed on or before the Closing date, then such assessment will be paid in full by the Seller at Closing.  If, as of the Closing date, the amount of such assessment is not yet confirmed, the Seller shall pay a reasonable estimate of such assessment at the Closing.  If, as of the Closing date, the Property is subject to an unconfirmed assessment for a municipal improvement for which the work has not commenced and no installment has been billed, or if an assessment is made after the Closing for a municipal improvement, such assessment shall be borne by the Buyer.  Real estate taxes shall be apportioned on the basis of the calendar year for which assessed, except that if the Closing shall occur before the final tax rate is fixed, the apportionment of taxes shall be tentative, based upon the parties' best knowledge of the current year's assessment.  At such time as the full year's taxes are known, the parties shall thereafter adjust as of the date of Closing based upon the full year's taxes.  The obligations of this Section 2.6 with regard to any adjustments or payments subsequent to Closing for real property taxes shall survive the Closing.  In the event that any of such items cannot be determined at or prior to Closing, the parties agree to adjust such items as soon as determinable after Closing, which obligation shall survive Closing.  Unless the purchase by Buyer hereunder is not consummated, Buyer shall comply, at Buyer's cost, with all requirements of public authority relating to the Property, imposed after the date hereof.

(b)   Property and Workers' Compensation Insurance .  Tenant shall purchase and maintain, throughout the Demised Term, policies of (i) "all-risk" property insurance covering the Leased Premises (at its full replacement cost), and damage to other property resulting from any acts or operations of Tenant, and (ii) workers' compensation insurance per the applicable state statutes covering all employees of Tenant.

(c)   Waiver of Subrogation .  To the extent permitted by law, and without affecting the coverage provided by insurance required to be maintained hereunder, Landlord and Tenant each waive any right to recover against the other for (a) damages to property, (b) damages to all or any portion of the Premises, (c) claims arising by reason of the foregoing, to the extent such damages and claims are insured against, or required to be insured against, by Landlord or Tenant under this Lease, or (d) claims paid by Tenant's workers' compensation carrier.  This provision is intended to waive, fully and for the benefit of each party, any rights and/or claims which might give rise to a right of subrogation by any insurance carrier.  The coverage obtained by each party pursuant to this Lease shall include, without limitation, a waiver of subrogation by the carrier which conforms to the provisions of this section.

(d)   Pollution Liability Insurance .  On or before the Commencement Date, Tenant shall: (i) procure a pollution legal liability insurance policy (" PLL Policy "), which meets with Landlord's approval and is from an insurance company reasonably acceptable to Seller (the " Carrier "); and (ii) pay all premiums and cause the PLL Policy to be bound.  The PLL Policy shall, at a minimum and without limitation, cover: (i) all costs associated with the investigation and remediation of unknown pollution conditions and, following Seller's achievement of Compliance with ISRA pursuant to the Sale Agreement, reopener coverage for known pollution conditions; (ii) all costs, including (without limitation) legal expenses, associated with the investigation and remediation of, or a claim for bodily injury (including death) or third party property damage (including claims for natural resources damages and the assessment of such damages) arising from: (y) known pollution conditions that commenced prior to the Commencement Date that were disclosed to Tenant (as former owner of the Premises) and resulted in a claim post-closing, or (z) unknown pollution conditions that commenced prior to the Commencement Date, but were caused by Tenant (as former owner of the Premises) and discovered after the Closing; and (iii) pollution conditions that commenced after the Commencement Date.  The PLL Policy shall (a) have a minimum term coterminous with the Term of this Lease, (b) provide no less than Three Million and 00/100 Dollars ($3,000,000.00) of coverage in the aggregate, (c) name Landlord as an additional named insured, (d) include this Lease as an insured contact, and (d) have such other limits, terms and deductibles as are reasonably satisfactory to Landlord.  Tenant shall not cancel or cause to be terminated the PLL Policy at any time after the Commencement Date.  Should the PLL Policy be cancelled by the Carrier, then Tenant shall use reasonable and good faith efforts to purchase a replacement PLL Policy with the same coverage required in this provision.

If Tenant fails to comply with any of the insurance requirements set forth in this Article 9 or to deliver to Landlord the certificates or evidence of coverage required herein, Landlord, in addition to any other remedy available pursuant to this Lease or otherwise, may, but shall not be obligated to, obtain such insurance and Tenant shall pay to Landlord on demand the premium costs thereof, plus an administrative fee of 25% of such cost.

Landlord shall not allow any other operations or occupancies on the Premises or otherwise do anything which would cause (i) the PLL Policy to be cancelled; or (ii) any coverage thereunder to be excluded or reduced (including, any change in the remediation expenses covered by the PLL Policy); or (iii) the PLL Policy to disclaim coverage for a residential cleanup standard which such level of remediation is required by the terms of this Lease.  In the event such cancellation or exclusion occurs, Landlord shall be responsible to Tenant for any Loss incurred by Tenant in connection therewith, including but not limited to the expense of any remediation activities which would have been paid by the PLL Policy but for such cancellation or exclusion.

Tenant shall receive an offset against Base Rent in the aggregate amount of $28,500.00, applied in installments in the amount of $2,375.00 per month against the Base Rent payments due for the first twelve (12) months of the Lease, in accordance with Section 2.01, representing Landlord's contribution towards the cost of the premium for the PLL Policy.

Section 9.02.   Adjustment of Loss .   The loss, if any, under any or all of the policies provided for under Section 9.01 hereof, shall be adjusted with the insurance company or companies by and at the cost of Landlord.  The loss so adjusted shall be paid to Landlord except to the extent the compensation is for Tenant's Property which shall be paid to Tenant.

Section 9.03.   Damage or Casualty .  Subject to the provisions of Section 9.04 below, if the Leased Premises are damaged by fire or other insured casualty, Landlord shall repair the damage and restore and rebuild the Leased Premises as soon as is commercially reasonable after (x) notice to it of the damage or destruction and (y) the adjustment of the insurance proceeds attributable to such damage.  Tenant shall not be entitled to terminate this Lease or an abatement of the Base Rent and no damages, compensation or claim shall be payable by Landlord for purported inconvenience, loss of business or annoyance arising from any repair or restoration of any portion of the Leased Premises pursuant to this Section.  Landlord shall use its diligent, good faith efforts to make such repair or restoration promptly and in such manner as not to unreasonably interfere with Tenant's use and occupancy of the Leased Premises, but Landlord shall not be required to do such repair or restoration work except during normal business hours of business days.

In the event of damage or casualty, Tenant may withhold payment of the Base Rent and all additional rent and other charges payable by Tenant hereunder, proportionate to the portion of the Leased Premises (based on usable square feet) that Tenant may be prevented from fully using as a result of such damage or casualty.

Section 9.04.   Total Destruction.

(a)   If the Premises shall be totally destroyed by fire or other casualty, or if the Premises shall be so damaged by fire or other casualty that (in the reasonable opinion of a reputable contractor or architect designated by Landlord):  (i) its repair or restoration requires more than 270 days or (ii) such repair or restoration requires the expenditure of more than 50% of the full insurable value of the Premises immediately prior to the casualty or (iii) the damage (x) is less than the amount stated in (ii) above, but more than 10% of the full insurable value of the Premises and (y) occurs during the last two years of the Demised Term, Landlord or Tenant shall have the option to terminate this Lease (by so advising the other, in writing) within 10 days after said contractor or architect delivers written notice of its opinion to Landlord and Tenant.  In such event, the termination shall be effective as of the date upon which one party receives written notice from the other terminating this Lease pursuant to the preceding sentence.  If either party does not deliver a termination notice, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (A) any holder of a mortgage or deed of trust encumbering the Premises or Landlord pursuant to a ground lease encumbering the Premises (collectively, " Superior Parties ") or other party entitled to the insurance proceeds fails to make such proceeds available to Landlord in an amount sufficient for restoration of the Premises, or (B) the issuer of any casualty insurance policies on the Premises fails to make available to Landlord sufficient proceeds for restoration of the Premises, then Landlord may, at Landlord's sole option, terminate this Lease by giving Tenant written notice to such effect within 30 days after Landlord receives notice from the Superior Party or insurance company, as the case may be, that such proceeds shall not be made available, in which event the termination of this Lease shall be effective as of the date Tenant receives written notice from Landlord of Landlord's election to terminate this Lease.  Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant, and Tenant shall not be entitled to terminate this Lease by virtue of any delays in completion of repairs and restoration.  For purposes of this Section 9.04 only, "full insurable value" shall mean replacement cost, less the cost of footings, foundations and other structures below grade.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Tenant is responsible for the aforesaid casualty, Tenant shall not have the right to terminate this Lease if Landlord is willing to rebuild and restore the Premises.

In the event Landlord has not completed restoration of the Premises within twelve (12) months from the date of casualty, Tenant may terminate this Lease by written notice to Landlord within thirty (30) days following the expiration of such 12 month period unless, within thirty (30) days following receipt of such notice, Landlord has substantially completed such restoration and delivered the Leased Premises to Tenant for occupancy.

In the event of total destruction, provided that the Lease is not terminated as provided above, Tenant may withhold payment of the Base Rent and all Additional Rent and other charges payable by Tenant hereunder until such time reconstruction is completed, a Certificate of Occupancy has been issued and possession of the Leased Premises is given to Tenant.

Section 9.05.   Cooperation in Actions .  Landlord will cooperate with Tenant, to such extent as Tenant may reasonably require, in connection with the prosecution or defense of any action or proceeding arising out of, or for the collection of any insurance moneys that may be due in the event of, any loss or damage, and Tenant will execute and deliver to Landlord such instruments as may be required to facilitate the recovery of any insurance monies.

Section 9.06.   Notice of Casualty .  Tenant shall give prompt notice to Landlord with respect to all fires or other casualties occurring upon the Leased Premises where the apparent damage exceeds Fifteen Thousand Dollars ($15,000).  Tenant shall be liable for any claim, loss, damage, cost or expense resulting from Tenant's failure to give Landlord the foregoing notice in a timely manner.

Section 9.07.   Insurance Proceeds .

Landlord shall not be obligated to expend in repairs and restoration an amount in excess of the proceeds of insurance recovered with respect to any casualty.  Tenant acknowledges that Landlord shall be entitled to the full proceeds of any insurance coverage, whether carried by Landlord or Tenant, for damage to the Premises (excluding any proceeds for (i) a claim made to the PLL Policy for remediation conducted by Tenant; and (ii) damage to Tenant's personal property).  In the event that the Premises are not repaired or reconstructed, all proceeds of insurance (excluding any proceeds covering Tenant's personal property), whether carried by Landlord or Tenant, shall be payable to Landlord.  Landlord's duty to repair the Premises is limited to repairing the Premises to the condition existing immediately prior to such fire or other casualty.

Section 9.08.   Environmental Issues From Casualties .

The cost to resolve any environmental issues arising from a casualty shall be paid by the person(s) otherwise responsible under this Article 9 for casualty-related costs.  Any remediation of environmental issues required to be performed by Tenant shall be performed consistent with the terms of Article 11 hereinbelow.  Any undertakings, covenants and obligations imposed on Tenant under this Section 9.08 , shall survive the termination or expiration of this Lease.

ARTICLE TEN  
Condemnation

Section 10.01.   Condemnation .  Tenant and Landlord shall promptly give the other written notice upon knowledge of the actual or threatened commencement of any condemnation or eminent domain proceeding or other governmental taking affecting the Premises (a " Condemnation "), and, to the extent not otherwise received, shall deliver to the other copies of any and all papers served in connection with such Condemnation.  Tenant and Landlord shall be entitled to separately claim and pursue in connection with any Condemnation such separate awards as may be allowed from the applicable condemning governmental authority.

Section 10.02.   Total Condemnation .  If title to the fee of the whole or materially all of the Premises shall be taken in a Condemnation this Lease shall cease and terminate, and all Base Rent, additional rent and other charges paid or payable by Tenant hereunder shall be apportioned, as of the date of vesting of title in such condemnation proceedings, and the total award, except for that portion thereof awarded specifically to Tenant, shall be retained by Landlord.

For the purposes of this Section, a taking of the whole or materially all of the Premises shall be deemed to have occurred if the portion of the Leased Premises not so taken, in Tenant's reasonable, good faith judgment, cannot be reconstructed or repaired so as to constitute a facility usable by Tenant for the purposes which the Leased Premises were being used by Tenant immediately prior to such taking.

Section 10.03.   Partial Condemnation .  If at any time during the Demised Term of this Lease, title to less than the whole or materially all of the Premises shall be taken as aforesaid, and a result of such taking, demolition, repair or restoration of the building is required, the award or proceeds shall be paid over to Landlord and applied toward the cost of demolition, repair and restoration, all of which shall be completed promptly.  Any balance remaining in the hands of Landlord after payment of such costs of demolition, repair and restoration as aforementioned shall be the sole property of Landlord.  From and after the date of such partial condemnation (i) the Lease Year Base Rent payable by Tenant hereunder shall be reduced in the ratio which the diminution, if any in the total floor area of the building or buildings constituting the Leased Premises as restored or rebuilt following such condemnation, shall bear to the total floor area of the building or buildings erected on the Premises at the time of such condemnation, or (ii) if Tenant reasonably determines that the remaining leasable area is unsuitable for Tenant's business purposes, Tenant may, upon at least thirty (30) days prior written notice, terminate this Lease; such notice to contain the basis for Tenant's determination that the Leased Premises are no longer suitable for Tenant's purposes.  If Tenant terminates the Lease as aforesaid, Tenant shall pay rent until such date of termination and thereafter neither party shall have further rights or obligations hereunder.

Section 10.04.   Temporary Condemnation .  Tenant further agrees that if, at any time-after the date hereof, the whole or any part of the Leased Premises or of Tenant's interest under this Lease shall be taken or condemned by any competent authority for its or their temporary use or occupancy, this Lease shall not terminate by reason thereof, however, Tenant shall withhold payment of the Base Rent and all additional rent and other charges payable by Tenant hereunder, proportionate to the portion of the Leased Premises (based on usable square feet) that Tenant may be prevented from fully using pursuant to the terms of the order of the condemning authority.  In the event of any such taking as in this Section 10.04 . referred to, the entire amount of any award made for such taking, whether paid by way of damages, rent or otherwise, shall be paid to and held by Landlord.

Section 10.05.   Environmental Issues From Condemnation .

The cost to resolve any environmental issues arising in or from any condemnation or eminent domain proceeding shall be borne and paid by the person(s) otherwise responsible under this Lease for remediation-related costs.  Any remediation of environmental issues in or from such proceeding required to be performed by Tenant shall be performed consistent with the terms of Article 11 hereinbelow. Any payment or loss, including by reason of any escrow or price reduction in such proceeding against amounts otherwise due to Landlord, in lieu of actual remediation, for environmental issues for which Tenant is responsible under this Lease, shall be pair or borne by Tenant in the first instance, if possible (for example by Tenant funding such escrow), or reimbursed by Tenant to Landlord promptly on proper demand. Any undertakings, covenants and obligations imposed on Tenant under this Section 10.05 , shall survive the termination or expiration of this Lease.

Environmental

Section 11.01.   Hazardous Materials .  Except as is explicitly set forth herein or utilized in connection with Tenant's present business in compliance with governmental regulations and disclosed on Exhibit C referenced below, Tenant shall not generate, transport, store, use, treat or dispose of any Hazardous Material (defined below) in, to or from the Premises if the nature or quantity of Hazardous Materials, or the operations involved with such Hazardous Materials  so proposed, alone or in the aggregate with other Hazardous Material, (v) would cause the Premises to be classified as a " Major Facility " as defined in the New Jersey Spill Compensation and Control Act N.J.S.A. 58:10-23.11 et seq. (" Spill Act "),  (w) would require a new or amended permit, consent, authorization, certificate or approval, or D ischarge Prevention Containment and Countermeasure or Discharge Cleanup and Removal plan, or the like, for its or their generation, transport, storage, use, treatment, disposal or release or (x) are, contain or involve explosives, ultra-flammable, or ultra-hazardous Hazardous Materials as are required to be reported to USEPA under Title III of the Superfund Amendments and reauthorization Act of 1986 (" SARA "), 42 U.S.C.A § 11001 et   seq ., (" EPCRA ") or regulated as extraordinarily hazardous substances under the Toxic Catastrophe Prevention Act, N.J.S.A. 13:1K-19 et   seq . (" NJTCPA "), (y) would result in all or any portion of the Premises being regulated as a treatment, storage or disposal facility under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, as amended, 42 U.S.C. 6901 et   seq . (" RCRA ") or requiring registration under RCRA other than as a small quantity generator or (z) the generation, transport, storage, use, treatment or disposal of which, or any casualty, release, spill or discharge involving which,  would be excluded from, or have a different, coverage under, the PLL Policy (any of the foregoing, a " Reclassification Event "). Tenant shall, at its own cost, at all times (i) comply (and cause all others under its control to comply) with all applicable laws relating to Hazardous Materials, including, but not limited to, all Environmental Laws (defined below) and (ii) obtain and maintain in full force and effect at all times all permits and other approvals required in connection therewith.  Tenant shall promptly provide Landlord with complete copies of all permits or agreements to, with, from or issued by any governmental authority (including any and all agencies and the like, federal, state or local) or any private entity, relating in any way to the generation, transportation, storage, use, treatment, or disposal at, on, in or from the Premises of any Hazardous Materials.  Upon reasonable suspicion that a new discharge of Hazardous Materials has occurred within the Premises for which Tenant is responsible hereunder and which is not being addressed by Tenant pursuant to its requirements hereunder, Landlord, and Landlord's respective agents and employees shall have the right to either or both (x) enter the Premises and (y) conduct appropriate tests for the purposes of ascertaining Tenant's compliance with all applicable laws (including Environmental Laws) or permits relating in any way to the generation, transport, storage, use, treatment, disposal or presence of Hazardous Materials on, at, in or from all or any portion of the Premises, subject to prior written notice and any reasonable security procedures which Tenant may require.  Any costs incurred with Landlord in connection with such access and test shall be at Landlord's sole expense if any invasive or intrusive testing of the soil or groundwater at the Premises do not reveal contamination which (i) is above applicable NJDEP non-residential remediation thresholds; and (ii) resulted from Tenant's occupation of the Leased Premises.  Tenant covenants to investigate, clean up and otherwise remediate, at Tenant's sole expense, any and every spill, discharge or release of Hazardous Materials caused, contributed to, or created before, during and after the Demised Term by any or all of (A) Tenant and (B) any or all of Tenant's predecessors, shareholders, officers, directors, members, managers, partners, invitees, licensees, agents, employees, contractors or representatives and others controlled by it, under common control with it or controlling it (" Tenant Parties " or " affiliates" ) to the Non-Residential Remediation Standard defined in Section 11.02(b) below.  Except as permitted in Section 11.02(b) below, Tenant shall not enter into any settlement agreement, consent decree or other compromise, or other agreement with respect to any claims or obligations for or relating to any Hazardous Materials in any way connected to the Premises without first obtaining Landlord's written consent (which consent may be given or withheld in Landlord's sole discretion) and affording Landlord the opportunity to participate, at Landlord's expense, in any such proceedings.  As used herein, the term (x) " Environmental Laws " shall mean any and all applicable laws (including, without limitation, state, federal and local, rules, regulations and guidance, and the like, of any and every government authority) pertaining to Hazardous Materials or that otherwise deal with, or relate to, air or water quality, air emissions, soil or ground or water or ecological conditions or other environmental matters of any and every kind; and (y) " Hazardous Materials " shall mean any and every waste, material or substance (whether in the form of liquids, solids or gases, and whether or not airborne) that is or may be deemed to be or include a pesticide, petroleum, asbestos, polychlorinated biphenyl, radioactive material, urea formaldehyde or any other pollutant or contaminant that is or may be deemed to be hazardous, toxic, ignitable, reactive, corrosive, dangerous, harmful or injurious, or that presents a risk to public health or to the environment, and that is or becomes regulated by any Environmental Law, without limitation including any and every material defined or regulated as a hazardous substance, hazardous waste, pollutant or the like under any Environmental Law.  Notwithstanding anything set forth herein, Tenant is permitted to handle, store, use or dispose of products containing small quantities of Hazardous Materials, if (i) such products are used in the ordinary course of Tenant's business, or (ii) are customarily found in commercial real estate properties (such as aerosol cans, cleaning fluids, toner for copiers, and the like); and (iii) Tenant handles, stores, uses and disposes of any such Hazardous Materials in a safe and lawful manner in compliance with all Environmental Laws.  Landlord expressly acknowledges that the substances listed on Exhibit C hereto are generally present in the forms and locations shown on the Leased Premises, which have been and will be used in the ordinary course of Tenant's business, and may be present throughout the Demised Term in varying quantities but in no event in quantities which would trigger a Reclassification Event as defined in Section 11.01 above.  The undertakings, covenants and obligations imposed on Tenant under this Section 11.01 shall survive the termination or expiration of this Lease.

Section 11.02.   ISRA Compliance.

(a)   From and after the Commencement Date, in addition to and without limiting the foregoing, Tenant shall, at Tenant's own expense, to the extent required by law, fully, promptly and diligently comply with the Industrial Site Recovery Act, N.J.S.A. 13:1K-6 et seq. and the regulations promulgated thereunder and related Environmental Law and guidance applicable thereto in connection with the Leased Premises (collectively " ISRA "), without limitation including if, when during the Demised Term, and as required, by or for reason of any and every transfer of ownership or operations, or in the case of a cessation of operations, as defined and regulated by ISRA authorize.  In complying with ISRA as required hereunder, Tenant shall not proceed under a plan of remediation, or otherwise, in a manner that shall materially and adversely affect Landlord's ability to initiate and continue commercial and industrial use(s) of the Premises of Tenant or others, within the existing footprint of improvements on the Premises (" Adverse Effect "), it being understood however that the remediation will be conducted to the Remediation Standard defined below.  Tenant's obligations under this paragraph shall arise if Tenant's operations at the Leased Premises constitute an " industrial establishment " (as defined in ISRA) and are subject to ISRA due to any closing, terminating or transferring of its operations, the occurrence of the expiration of this Lease, the termination of this Lease, any permitted assignment of this Lease or permitted sublease of a portion of this Lease, the sale or transfer of any or all of the Premises or any ownership or interest in Landlord, or any other action or event which triggers ISRA.

(b)   Tenant shall, at Tenant's own expense, comply with all requirements of ISRA when and as applicable and make all required or requested submissions to the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (" NJDEP ").  Should the compliance with ISRA require that any plan for assessment, investigation or remediation be prepared, including a site investigation work plan, a remedial investigation work plan, a remedial action work plan, or a remedial action report, and that any remediation or cleanup be undertaken, because of any spills, releases or discharges of Hazardous Materials at, from or about the Premises that Tenant or any of Tenant's agents, contractors, servants, employees, licensees or invitees causes or suffers, before, during or after the Demised Term, or the existence of any other condition for which Tenant or any of the Tenant Parties are responsible under ISRA, Environmental Law, this Lease, the Sale Agreement or the Access Agreement, then Tenant shall, at Tenant's own expense, retain a Licensed Site Remediation Professional (" LSRP "), as defined in the Site Remediation Reform Act (N.J.S.A. 58:10C-1 et seq. and the regulations promulgated thereunder (" SRRA "), and cause such LSRP to prepare and submit any and all required plans and reports, and cause the conduct of all work for remediation consistent with those plans through the issuance of a "Final Remediation Document" as defined in SRRA which is consistent with the following " Non-Residential Remediation Standard :"  Tenant shall specifically be permitted to leave in place any soil contamination and institute related Institutional Control(s) and Engineering Control(s) (as such terms are defined under N.J.S.A. 58:10C-2) (the " Controls ") if (i) the contamination is situated under a paved surface, sidewalk, improvement or other impervious surface and the removal of such contamination is impractical or unnecessary in the opinion of Tenant's LSRP; and (ii) the contamination is not a source of contamination to the groundwater as determined by Tenant's LSRP; and (iii) doing so is permitted by the Technical Requirements at N.J.A.C. 7:26E‑1 et   seq .; and (iv) Tenant funds the "Post-Remediation Fund."   The Post-Remediation Fund shall consist of an escrow for Landlord's benefit in an amount which is reasonably calculated to be sufficient to pay (i) then-existing NJDEP fees; (x) any required financial assurance;  (ii) inspection and reporting costs and fees associated with biennial certifications; and (iii) if required by the Technical Requirements, any other monitoring costs and fees, which are collectively associated with the term of the Controls as defined by the LSRP overseeing Tenant's remediation activities.  In the event the term of the Controls is non-determinate, then for the purposes of calculating the Post-Remediation Fund, the term shall be deemed to be thirty (30) years.  Upon the establishment of the Post-Remediation Fund and the issuance of a Final Remediation Document for the Non-Residential Remediation Tenant shall have no further obligation or responsibility to Landlord for the remediation of the Premises.  Landlord shall cooperate, provided same is at no cost to Landlord, with the execution of any Institutional Control required to be recorded against title to effectuate the intent of this Section.  All contamination which Tenant is responsible to remediate but which does not meet the criteria for a Non-Residential Remediation Standard shall be remediated to a NJDEP residential standard, provided that the PLL Policy does not disclaim coverage for a residential cleanup standard due to intervening events which were not caused by Tenant, such as a change in zoning not initiated by Tenant.

(c)   In connection with Tenant's obligations under this Section 11.02 , Tenant shall enter into any remediation certification and otherwise comply with ISRA so as to permit the event or action which requires compliance with ISRA to occur when and as planned, and by the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, obtain and deliver to Landlord a true copy of a Final Remediation Document, and consistent with this Lease, and without further government authority demands or requirements for or by reason of any audit or review of same; provided, however, that in the case of an assignment or sublease, Tenant shall comply with the foregoing provisions as a condition precedent to a request to assign the Lease or sublease any portion of the Premises if so required by ISRA.

(d)   Tenant and Tenant's LSRP shall not finalize, implement or submit to any other government authority any forms, applications, permits, plans, proposals, or other documents in connection with this Section 11.02 (collectively, a " Submission ") without first providing Landlord with a copy of the Submission so that Landlord may review and comment on the Submission in advance of the filing of same with the NJDEP.  In the event that Landlord elects to suggest an alternative approach to that set forth in the Submission, then Landlord shall advise Tenant of such alternative approach at least ten (10) days in advance of Tenant's filing of the Submission with the NJDEP (provided Tenant has provided Landlord with at least ten (10) days to review and comment) detailing Landlord's preferred approach.  Tenant shall consider Landlord's counterproposal in good faith and, provided Landlord's counterproposal does not increase the cost of Tenant's proposed plan of remediation or post-remediation compliance, or in the event such suggested approach increases the plan of remediation and Landlord agrees to pay the costs in excess of Tenant's initial proposal, Tenant shall modify its initial proposal accordingly. Periodically Tenant shall timely advise Landlord of the retention and identity of each LSRP. Tenant shall provide all sampling data (including all information reasonably required to understand and review same, without limitation including a diagram of sampling locations and depths, analytical parameters, lab reports etc.) for and from any and all work performed by or for Tenant promptly after generation, and upon completion of that work, provide to Landlord reasonably detailed report(s) concerning the completed work certified by the LSRP in accordance with NJDEP requirements. When received, Tenant shall also provide Landlord with a copy of each government authority's response, approval, rejection or comments, or other communications, to, of, for or by reason of the filing of the Submission with the NJDEP.

(e)   At no expense to Tenant, Landlord shall promptly execute any documents provided by Tenant which are required to be submitted or prepared in connection with ISRA, including but not limited to any certifications and permit applications as the owner of the Premises and any institutional control documents, including, but not limited to, one or more deed notices and remedial action permit applications subject to landlord's right to comment as set forth above.  Tenant shall not be liable for failing to provide a Final Remediation Document in the event such failure is caused by Landlord's unreasonable delay or failure to cooperate as contemplated by this Section 11.02.

(f)   If Tenant has failed to deliver a Final Remediation Document to Landlord and such failure requires Tenant, in order to complete the remediation activities, to continue to occupy or control all or a portion of the Premises such that the Premises could not be operated or occupied or both by a subsequent tenant, then Tenant shall be deemed to be a holdover tenant, shall pay rent at the rate set forth in Section 14.01 , and shall continue to promptly and diligently pursue compliance with its obligations under this Section 11.02 .  Tenant shall not be deemed to be a holdover tenant if the remaining remediation activities required to deliver a Final Remediation Document consist of collection of samples from monitoring wells on the property, the recording of an institutional control against title to the property, purely administrative activities, or any other activity which requires access but does not require exclusive control of the Premises by Tenant.

(g)   At no expense to Landlord, Tenant shall promptly provide all information reasonably requested by Landlord for preparation of forms, submissions and any other information required under ISRA and shall promptly sign such certifications, forms and submissions when requested by Landlord.

(h)   Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall secure and maintain in effect all federal, state and local permits and licenses required or by reason of for its remediation work including, without limitation, zoning, building, health, environmental or communication permits or licenses, and shall indemnify the Landlord against payment of the costs and liabilities therefor or therefrom and against any and all fines or penalties that may be levied for failure to procure or to cure violations thereof.

(h)   upon the 2nd occurrence during the Demised Term of this Lease, of Tenant failing to pay Base Rent, Additional Rent, or both, when due or breaching a particular covenant of this Lease (whether or not such failure or breach is thereafter cured within any stated cure or grace period or statutory period), provided notice has been delivered as herein required.

Section 12.02.   Landlord's Cure Rights Upon Default of Tenant.

If Tenant defaults in the performance of any of its obligations under this Lease, and fails to cure such default on a timely basis (pursuant to Section 12.01 ), Landlord, without thereby waiving such default, may (but shall not be obligated to) perform the same for the account, and at the expense of, Tenant.

Section 12.03.   Landlord's Remedies .  In the event of any default by Tenant under this Lease, Landlord, at its option, and after any applicable notice and cure period (as required pursuant to Section 12.01 ), but without additional notice or demand from Landlord, if any, as provided in Section 12.01 has expired, may, in addition to all other rights and remedies provided in this Lease, or otherwise at law or in equity:  (a) terminate this Lease and Tenant's right of possession of the Leased Premises; or (b) terminate Tenant's right of possession of the Leased Premises without terminating this Lease; provided, however, that Landlord may, whether Landlord elects to proceed under Subsections (a) or (b) above, relet the Leased Premises, or any part thereof for the account of Tenant, for such rent and term and upon such terms and conditions as are reasonably acceptable to Landlord.  In addition, for purposes of any reletting, Landlord is authorized to decorate, repair, alter and improve the Leased Premises to the extent deemed reasonably necessary by Landlord, in its reasonable discretion. In the event of the termination of this Lease by Landlord pursuant to (a) above, Landlord shall be entitled to recover from Tenant (i) all damages and other sums that Landlord is entitled to recover under any provision of this Lease or at law or in equity, including, but not limited to, all fixed dollar amounts of Base Rent and Additional Rent accrued and unpaid for the period up to and including such termination date; (ii) all other additional sums payable by Tenant, or for which Tenant is liable, or in respect of which Tenant has agreed to indemnify Landlord, under any of the provisions of this Lease, that may be then owing and unpaid; and (iii) all costs and expenses (including, without limitation, court costs and attorneys' reasonable fees) incurred by Landlord in the enforcement of its rights and remedies under this Lease and (iv) any damages provable by Landlord as a matter of law including, without limitation, an amount equal to the positive difference, if any, between (x) the Rent provided to be paid for the remainder of the Demised Term (measured from the effective termination date of this Lease) and (y) the fair market rental value of the Leased Premises (determined at the date of termination of this Lease) after deduction (from such fair market rental value) of the projected costs and expenses of reletting the Leased Premises (including the anticipated costs of repairs, alterations, improvements, additions, legal fees and brokerage commissions) as reasonably estimated by Landlord.

If Landlord elects to pursue its rights and remedies under Subsection (b) above, and the Leased Premises are relet and a sufficient sum is not realized therefrom, then to satisfy the payment, when due, of Base Rent and Additional Rent reserved under the Lease for any monthly period (after payment of all Landlord's reasonable expenses of reletting), Tenant shall, in Landlord's sole judgment, either (i) pay any such deficiency monthly or (ii) pay such deficiency on an accelerated basis, which accelerated deficiency shall be discounted at a rate equal to the Federal Reserve discount rate in effect on the date of Landlord's demand.

If Landlord elects to pursue its rights and remedies under Subsection (b) above, and Landlord fails to relet the Leased Premises, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord the sum of (x) the projected costs of Landlord's expenses of reletting (including the anticipated costs of repairs, alterations, improvements, additions, legal fees and brokerage commissions) as reasonably estimated by Landlord and (y) the accelerated amount of Base Rent and Additional Rent due under the Lease for the balance of the Demised Term, discounted to present value at a rate equal to the Federal Reserve discount rate in effect on the date of Landlord's demand.  Tenant agrees that Landlord may file suit to recover any sums due to Landlord hereunder from time to time and that such suit or recovery of any amount due Landlord hereunder shall not be any defense to any subsequent action brought for any amount not theretofore reduced to judgment in favor of Landlord.  If Landlord elects to pursue its rights and remedies under Subsection (b), then Landlord shall at any time have the further right and remedy to rescind such election and pursue its rights and remedies under Subsection (a).  In the event Landlord elects, pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section 12.03 , to terminate Tenant's right of possession only, without terminating this Lease, Landlord may, at Landlord's option, after the provision of fifteen (15) days written notice to Tenant, enter into the Premises, remove Tenant's Property, Tenant's signs and other evidences of tenancy, and take and hold possession thereof; provided, however, that such entry and possession shall not terminate this Lease or release Tenant, in whole or in part, from Tenant's obligation to pay the Base Rent and Additional Rent reserved hereunder for the full Demised Term, or from any other obligation of Tenant under this Lease.  Any and all property that may be removed from the Premises by Landlord pursuant to the authority of the Lease or of law, to which Tenant is or may be entitled, may be handled, removed or stored by Landlord at the sole risk, cost and expense of Tenant, and in no event or circumstance shall Landlord be responsible for the value, preservation or safekeeping thereof.  Tenant shall pay to Landlord, upon demand, any and all expenses incurred in such removal and all storage charges against such property so long as the same shall be in Landlord's possession or under Landlord's control.  Any such property of Tenant not retaken from storage by Tenant within 30 days after the end of the Demised Term, however terminated, shall be conclusively presumed to have been conveyed by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease as in a bill of sale, without further payment or credit by Landlord to Tenant.

Section 13.02.   Subordination .  Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that, notwithstanding the priority of recording, the lien of this Lease and any sublease hereunder shall be subject to and subordinate to the lien of any mortgagee of Landlord with regard to the Leased Premises so long as such mortgagee has, as part of such mortgage entered into a non-disturbance agreement in the form attached as Exhibit B.  Tenant agrees to execute, upon Landlord's request, any document or documents, in form reasonably satisfactory to Tenant, deemed necessary by Landlord to document or record such subordination.

Section 13.03.   Transfer for Landlord .

ARTICLE FIFTEEN  
Assignments, Subletting and Encumbrances

Section 15.01.   Assignment, Sublease; Tenant Obligations .  (a)  Tenant shall not assign, sublease, mortgage or otherwise encumber this Lease without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.  Tenant may, however, assign or sublease the Leased Premises or any part thereof to a fifty-one percent (51%) or more owned subsidiary of Tenant without obtaining the consent of Landlord.  No assignment or sublease of the whole or any part of the Leased Premises by Tenant shall in any way affect or reduce any of the obligations of Tenant under this Lease, but this Lease shall continue in full force and effect.  If this Lease be assigned, or if the Leased Premises or any part thereof be sublet or occupied by anybody other than Tenant, Landlord may, after default by Tenant, collect rent from the assignee, subtenant or occupant, and apply the net amount collected to the rent herein reserved, but no such assignment, subletting, occupancy or collection shall be deemed a waiver of this covenant, or the acceptance of the assignee, subtenant or occupant as tenant, or a release of Tenant from the further performance by Tenant of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Lease on the part of Tenant to be performed.  Any consent by Landlord to a particular assignment, sublease or mortgage shall not constitute consent or approval of any subsequent assignment, sublease or mortgage, and Landlord's written approval shall be required in all such instances.

(b)   Any approved sublease or assignment will be expressly subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease.  Any such subtenant or assignee will execute such documents as Landlord may reasonably require to evidence such sublease or assignment including in the case of any assignment, assignee's assumption of Tenant's obligations and liabilities accruing from and after the effective date of the assignment.  Tenant will deliver to Landlord a copy of all agreements executed by Tenant and the proposed subtenant and assignee with respect to the Leased Premises.

(c)   In making its determination of whether to consent to any proposed sublease or assignment (which consent, subject to the provisions of this Section 15.01 will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned), Landlord may take into consideration the business reputation and credit-worthiness of the proposed assignee and the business reputation of the proposed subtenant; the nature of the business conducted by such subtenant or assignee, which must be in conformance with the use herein permitted and whether such business would be deleterious to the reputation of the building or Landlord, consistent with a first class building, or would violate the provisions of this Lease and/or any other leases of tenants of the building; the estimated pedestrian and vehicular traffic in the Premises and to the building which would be generated by the proposed subtenant or assignee; whether the proposed assignee or subtenant is a department, representative or agency of any governmental body, foreign or domestic; whether the occupancy of the proposed subtenant and/or assignee would increase the cost of insurance to be maintained in the building; and any other reasonable factors which Landlord deems relevant.  In no event will Landlord be obligated to consider a consent to any proposed (i) sublease of the Leased Premises or assignment of this Lease if a Default then exists under this Lease, or (ii) assignment of this Lease which would assign less than all of Tenant's obligation under this Lease and/or the entire Leased Premises.  If Tenant requests Landlord's consent to a sublease or assignment, Tenant will pay all reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses incurred by Landlord with respect to each such request for any assignment or sublease; however, neither Tenant's payment of this fee nor Landlord's acceptance of the fee will be construed to impose any obligation whatsoever upon Landlord to consent to Tenant's request.

(d)   With respect to the allocable portion of the Premises sublet, in the event that the total rent and any other considerations received under any sublease by Tenant is greater than the total Rent required to be paid, from time to time, under this Lease and allocable to such portion, Tenant shall pay to Landlord fifty percent (50%) of such excess as received from any subtenant and such amount shall be deemed a component of the Additional Rent.

ARTICLE SIXTEEN  
Extension of Term of Lease

Section 16.01.   Tenant's Option .  Tenant shall have an option to extend the term of this Lease beyond the Initial Term for one five-year period; provided that this Lease is in effect and there is not then continuing an Event of Default under this Lease.  Such option shall be exercised by Tenant by giving written notice to Landlord not less than eighteen (18) months prior to the expiration of the Initial Term of this Lease.  Each such extension period shall be referred to herein as an " Extended Term ."  If Tenant fails to give such notice to Landlord prior to said 18 month period, then Tenant shall forfeit the option to extend set forth hereunder.

Section 16.02.   Terms of Extension .  The Extended Term shall be upon the same terms and conditions as are set forth herein for the Initial Term of this Lease, except that the Lease Year Base Rent payable in the first Lease Year of each Extended Term pursuant to this Lease shall be an annual amount computed by multiplying the Base Rent of the preceding Lease Year by 102.75% (the " Extended Term Base Rent") .  The Extended Term Base Rent for each Lease Year of the Extended Term succeeding the first Lease Year during the Extended Term shall be an amount computed by multiplying the Extended Term Base Rent of the preceding Lease Year by 102.75%.  The Base Rent payments due for the Extended Term are set forth on Exhibit A-2 .

Indemnification

Section 17.02.   Landlord Indemnification .  Landlord hereby indemnifies, defends and holds Tenant harmless from and against any and all Losses actually suffered or incurred by Tenant as the result of the grossly negligent, willful or intentional acts or omissions of any or all of Landlord, and any parties within the direct control of Landlord.  In the event that any action or proceeding is brought against Tenant, and the foregoing indemnity is applicable to such action or proceeding, then Landlord, upon notice from Tenant, shall resist and defend such action or proceeding by counsel reasonably satisfactory to Tenant.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Lease, however, in all events and under all circumstances, the liability of Landlord to Tenant shall be limited to the interest of Landlord in the Premises, and Tenant agrees to look solely to Landlord's interest in the Premises for the recovery of any judgment or award against Landlord, it being intended that Landlord shall not be personally liable for any judgment or deficiency. The provisions of this shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease.

Section 17.03.   Force Majeure .  The obligations of Tenant hereunder shall not be affected, impaired or excused, and Landlord shall have no liability whatsoever to Tenant, with respect to any act, event or circumstance arising out of (a) Landlord's failure to fulfill, or delay in fulfilling any of its obligations under this Lease by reason of labor dispute, governmental preemption of property in connection with a public emergency or shortages of fuel, supplies, or labor, or any other cause, whether similar or dissimilar, beyond Landlord's reasonable control; or (b) any failure or defect in the supply, quantity or character of utilities furnished to the Premises, or by reason of any requirement, act or omission of any public utility or others serving the Premises, beyond Landlord's reasonable control.

Section 17.04.   Involuntary Cessation of Services .  Landlord reserves the right, without any liability to Tenant and without affecting Tenant's covenants and obligations hereunder, to stop service of any or all of the HVAC, electric, sanitary, elevator (if any), and other systems serving the Premises, or to stop any services required by Landlord under this Lease, whenever and for so long as may be necessary by reason of (i) accidents, emergencies, strikes, or the making of repairs or changes which Landlord in good faith, deems necessary or (ii) any other cause beyond Landlord's reasonable control.  Further, it is also understood and agreed that Landlord shall have no liability or responsibility for a cessation of services to the Leased Premises or to the Premises that occurs as a result of causes beyond Landlord's reasonable control.  No such interruption of service shall be deemed an eviction or disturbance of Tenant's use and possession of the Premises or any part thereof, or render Landlord liable to Tenant for damages, or relieve Tenant from performance of Tenant's obligations under this Lease, including, but not limited to, the obligation to pay Rent.

Section 17.05.   Non-Liability .  Except as is otherwise set forth explicitly herein, Landlord's affiliates, owners, partners, directors, officers, agents and employees shall not be liable to Tenant for any loss, injury, or damages incurred by Tenant (a) for any damage caused by other tenants or persons in, upon or about the Premises, or caused by operations in construction of any public or quasi-public work; (b) with respect to matters for which Landlord is liable, for consequential or indirect damages purportedly arising out of any loss of use of the Premises or any equipment or facilities therein by Tenant or any person claiming through or under Tenant; or (c) injury or damage to person or property caused by fire, flooding, or theft, or resulting from the operation of heating or air conditioning or lighting apparatus, or from falling plaster, or from steam, gas, electricity, water, rain, snow, ice, or dampness, that may leak or flow from any part of the Premises, or from the pipes, appliances or plumbing work of the same.

(c)   If the Electing Party has assumed this Lease or elects to assign Tenant's interest under this Lease to any other person, such interest may be assigned only if the intended assignee has provided Adequate Assurance of Future Performance (as herein defined), of all of the obligations imposed on Tenant under this Lease.  For the purposes hereof, " Adequate Assurance of Future Performance " means that Landlord has ascertained that each of the following conditions has been satisfied:

(1)   The assignee has submitted a current financial statement, certified by its chief financial officer, which shows a net worth and working capital in amounts sufficient to assure the future performance by the assignee of Tenant's obligations under this Lease; and

(2)   Landlord has obtained consents or waivers from any third parties which may be required under a lease, mortgage, financing arrangement, or other agreement by which Landlord is bound, to enable Landlord to permit such assignment.

(e)   To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Tenant shall remain fully liable for or with respect to its obligations under this Lease.

Section 19.02.   Failure to Enforce Not Waiver .  The failure of Landlord to insist in any one or more cases upon the strict performance of any of the terms, covenants, conditions, provisions or agreements of this Lease or to exercise any option herein contained shall not be construed as a waiver or a relinquishment for the future of any such term, covenant, condition, provision, agreement or option.

SUBORDINATION, NON-DISTURBANCE AND ATTORNMENT AGREEMENT

SUBORDINATION, NON-DISTURBANCE
AND ATTORNMENT AGREEMENT

This Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement (" Agreement "), is made as of this _____ day of ______________, _____ among __________________ , a ____________________(together with its successors, assigns and/or affiliates, " Lender "), __________________________ , a New Jersey ____________________ (" Landlord "), and _____________________________ , a New Jersey ______________________ (" Tenant ").

Background

Lender has agreed to make a loan to Landlord (such loan may be made by Lender or one of its affiliates which is a designee of Lender) (" Loan "), which will be secured by a mortgage, deed of trust or similar security instrument (either, " Security Instrument ") on Landlord's property described more particularly on Exhibit A attached hereto (" Property ").

Tenant is the present lessee under that certain lease agreement between Landlord and Tenant dated _________________________, as thereafter modified and supplemented (" Lease "), demising a portion of the Property described more particularly in the Lease (" Leased Premises ").

A requirement of the Loan is that Tenant's Lease be subordinated to the Security Instrument.  Landlord has requested Tenant to so subordinate the Lease in exchange for Lender's agreement not to disturb Tenant's possession of the Leased Premises upon the conditions set forth in this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE , in consideration of the mutual promises of this Agreement, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1.   Subordination .  Tenant agrees that the Lease and all of the terms, covenants and provisions thereof, and all estates, options and rights created under the Lease, hereby are subordinated and made subject to the lien and effect of the Security Instrument (including, without limitation, all renewals, increases, modifications, spreaders, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof), as if the Security Instrument had been executed and recorded prior to the Lease.

2.   Nondisturbance .  Lender agrees that no foreclosure (whether judicial or nonjudicial), deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, or other sale of the Property in connection with enforcement of the Security Instrument or otherwise in satisfaction of the Loan shall operate to terminate the Lease or Tenant's rights thereunder to possess and use the Leased Premises provided, however, that (a) the term of the Lease has commenced, (b) Tenant is in possession of the Leased Premises, and (c) the Lease is in full force and effect and no uncured default exists under the Lease.

3.   Attornment .  Tenant agrees to attorn to and recognize as its landlord under the Lease each party acquiring legal title to the Property by foreclosure (whether judicial or nonjudicial) of the Security Instrument, deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, or other sale in connection with enforcement of the Security Instrument or otherwise in satisfaction of the Loan (" Successor Owner ").  Provided that the conditions set forth in Section 2 above are met at the time Successor Owner becomes owner of the Property, Successor Owner shall perform all obligations of the landlord under the Lease arising from and after the date title to the Property is transferred to Successor Owner.  In no event, however, will any Successor Owner be:  (a) liable for any default, act or omission of any prior landlord under the Lease; (b) subject to any offset or defense which Tenant may have against any prior landlord under the Lease; (c) bound by any payment of rent or additional rent made by Tenant to Landlord more than 30 days in advance; (d) bound by any modification or supplement to the Lease, or waiver of Lease terms, made without Lender's written consent thereto; (e) liable for the return of any security deposit or other prepaid charge paid by Tenant under the Lease, except to the extent such amounts were actually received by Lender; (f) liable or bound by any right of first refusal or option to purchase all or any portion of the Property; or (g) liable for construction or completion of any improvements to the Property or as required under the Lease for Tenant's use and occupancy (whenever arising).  Although the foregoing provisions of this Agreement are self-operative, Tenant agrees to execute and deliver to Lender or any Successor Owner such further instruments as Lender or a Successor Owner may from time to time request in order to confirm this Agreement.  If any liability of Successor Owner does arise pursuant to this Agreement, such liability shall be limited to Successor Owner's interest in the Property.

4.   Prior Assignment; Rent Payments; Notice to Tenant Regarding Rent Payments .  Tenant hereby consents to that certain Assignment of Leases and Rents from Landlord to Lender executed in connection with the Loan.  Tenant acknowledges that the interest of the Landlord under the Lease is to be assigned to Lender solely as security for the purposes specified in said assignment, and Lender shall have no duty, liability or obligation whatsoever under the Lease or any extension or renewal thereof, either by virtue of said assignments or by any subsequent receipt or collection of rents thereunder, unless Lender shall specifically undertake such liability in writing.  Tenant agrees not to pay rent more than one (1) month in advance unless otherwise specified in the Lease.  After written notice is given to Tenant by Lender that Landlord is in default under the Security Instrument and that the rentals under the Lease are to be paid to Lender directly pursuant to the assignment of leases and rents granted by Landlord to Lender in connection therewith, Tenant shall thereafter pay to Lender all rent and all other amounts due or to become due to Landlord under the Lease.  Landlord hereby expressly authorizes Tenant to make such payments to Lender upon reliance on Lender's written notice (without any inquiry into the factual basis for such notice or any prior notice to or consent from Landlord) and hereby releases Tenant from all claims and liability to Landlord in connection with Tenant's compliance with Lender's written instructions.

5.   Lender Opportunity to Cure Landlord Defaults .  Tenant agrees that, until the Security Instrument is released by Lender, it will not exercise any remedies under the Lease following a Landlord default without having first given to Lender (a) written notice of the alleged Landlord default and (b) the opportunity to cure such default within (i) a period of 5 business days following such notice in the instance of a default which may be cured by the payment of money or (ii) a period of 30 days after receipt of such notice in the instance of a default other than one listed in the preceding clause (i), if such default cannot reasonably be cured within such 30-day period and Lender has diligently commenced to cure such default promptly within the time contemplated by this Agreement and thereafter continuously prosecutes same, such 30-day period shall be extended for so long as it shall require Lender, in the exercise of due diligence, to cure such default, but, unless the parties otherwise agree, in no event shall the entire cure period be more than 120 days.  Tenant acknowledges that Lender is not obligated to cure any Landlord default, but if Lender elects to do so, Tenant agrees to accept cure by Lender as that of Landlord under the Lease and will not exercise any right or remedy under the Lease for a Landlord default.  Performance rendered by Lender on Landlord's behalf is without prejudice to Lender's rights against Landlord under the Security Instrument or any other documents executed by Landlord in favor of Lender in connection with the Loan.

6.   Right to Purchase .  Tenant covenants and acknowledges that it has no right or option of any nature whatsoever, whether pursuant to the Lease or otherwise, to purchase the Property or the real property of which the Property is a part, or any portion thereof or any interest therein and to the extent that Tenant has had, or hereafter acquires any such right or option, the same is hereby acknowledged to be subject and subordinate to the Security Instrument and is hereby waived and released as against Lender.

7.   Miscellaneous .

(a)   Notices .  All notices and other communications under this Agreement are to be in writing and addressed as set forth below such party's signature hereto.  Default or demand notices shall be deemed to have been duly given upon the earlier of:  (i) actual receipt; (ii) one (1) business day after having been timely deposited for overnight delivery, fee prepaid, with a reputable overnight courier service, having a reliable tracking system; (iii) one (1) business day after having been sent by telecopier (with answer back acknowledged) provided an additional notice is given pursuant to (ii); or (iv) three (3) business days after having been deposited in any post office or mail depository regularly maintained by the U.S. Postal Service and sent by certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, and in the case of clause (ii) and (iv) irrespective of whether delivery is accepted.  A new address for notice may be established by written notice to the other parties; provided, however, that no address change will be effective until written notice thereof actually is received by the party to whom such address change is sent.

2

(b)   Entire Agreement; Modification .  This Agreement is the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes and replaces all prior discussions, representations, communications and agreements (oral or written).  This Agreement shall not be modified, supplemented, or terminated, nor any provision hereof waived, except by a written instrument signed by the party against whom enforcement thereof is sought, and then only to the extent expressly set forth in such writing.

(c)   Binding Effect; Joint and Several Obligations .  This Agreement is binding upon and inures to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, executors, legal representatives, successors, and assigns, whether by voluntary action of the parties or by operation of law.  No Indemnitor may delegate or transfer its obligations under this Agreement.

(d)   Unenforceable Provisions .  Any provision of this Agreement which is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or government body to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal shall be ineffective only to the extent of such determination and shall not affect the validity, enforceability or legality of any other provision, nor shall such determination apply in any circumstance or to any party not controlled by such determination.

(e)   Duplicate Originals; Counterparts .  This Agreement may be executed in any number of duplicate originals, and each duplicate original shall be deemed to be an original.  This Agreement (and each duplicate original) also may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together constitute a fully executed Agreement even though all signatures do not appear on the same document.

(f)   Construction of Certain Terms .  Defined terms used in this Agreement may be used interchangeably in singular or plural form, and pronouns shall be construed to cover all genders.  Article and section headings are for convenience only and shall not be used in interpretation of this Agreement.  The words "herein," "hereof" and "hereunder" and other words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular section, paragraph or other subdivision; and the word "section" refers to the entire section and not to any particular subsection, paragraph of other subdivision; and "Agreement" and each of the Loan Documents referred to herein mean the agreement as originally executed and as hereafter modified, supplemented, extended, consolidated, or restated from time to time.

(g)   Governing Law .  This Agreement shall be interpreted and enforced according to the laws of the State where the Property is located (without giving effect to its rules governing conflict of laws).

(h)   Consent to Jurisdiction . Each party hereto irrevocably consents and submits to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of any state or federal court sitting in the county and state where the Property is located with respect to any legal action arising with respect to this Agreement and waives all objections which it may have to such jurisdiction and venue.

(i)   WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. .  TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, EACH PARTY HERETO WAIVES AND AGREES NOT TO ELECT A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY ISSUE ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT.
