Lease Forms

Start a state-specific lease for the rental of commercial property. Specify the term and rent due, as well as whether the landlord or tenant is responsible for property taxes, insurance, and maintenance and repairs.
When a tenant vacates commercial property before the lease term has expired, it may be able to rent the premises to a third party. The tenant would be the sublessor and the third party would be the sublessee. Besides preparing a sublease, both parties will want to review the provisions for assignment or subletting in the original lease agreement between the landlord and the sublessor.
Tenants of residential property should prepare a sublease agreement if they are seeking to sublease a room or the entire apartment or house to a third party. All parties should review the original lease agreement to see if there are any restrictions on subletting or assigning the premises.
Triple net leases are a type of commercial leases where the tenant has to pay for property taxes, insurance, utilities, and maintenance, in addition to the monthly rent.
When renting an office space, tenants should understand the amount of the rent and duration of the lease. Other important terms include whether the space can be subleased, which parties are responsible for maintenance, and whether any furniture and furnishings will be provided.

(a) Tenant hereby agrees that for each Operating Year during the Term of this Lease for which the Operating Costs (as hereinafter defined) shall be budgeted to exceed the Operating Cost Base (excluding extraordinary and nonrecurring expenses incurred during any Operating Year), Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent and in the manner further provided in this Section 5.03, an amount (the "Operating Cost Increase Amount") determined by multiplying the difference between the budgeted Operating Costs for the applicable Operating Year and the Operating Cost Base by Tenant's Pro Rata Share. Within ninety (90) days after the commencement of each Operating Year or as soon as practicable thereafter, except for the Base Year, Landlord shall present to Tenant a statement (the "Operating Statement") showing, inter alia, the Operating Cost Increase Amount, if any, due hereunder (the date upon which the Operating Statement is presented to Tenant being hereinafter referred to as the "Billing Date"). Within twenty (20) days of the Billing Date Tenant shall pay the ratable portion of the Operating Cost Increase amount for the portion of the Operating Year through and including the last day of calendar month in which such payment is made. Thereafter, Tenant shall pay the Operating Cost Increase Amount monthly on a one-twelfth (1/12) basis which shall be added to and paid simultaneously with the Base Rent. On the next Operating Statement, Landlord will provide the actual Operating Costs for the prior Operating Year. If the actual Operating Costs are greater than the budgeted Operating Costs for that Operating Year ("underpayment"), then Tenant shall pay its Pro Rata Share of the difference to Landlord within thirty (30) days after the Billing Date. If the actual Operating Costs are less than the budgeted Operating Costs for that Operating Year ("overpayment"), but in no event less than the Operating Cost Base, then Landlord shall have the option of either (1) refunding the excess amount to Tenant within thirty (30) days after the Billing Date or (2) crediting the excess amount against the next Operating Cost Increase Amount due, if any, as shown on the Operating Statement. Each Operating Statement shall indicate (i) the Operating Cost Increase Amount for the current year; (ii) the difference between the actual Operating Costs and the budgeted Operating Costs for the preceding Operating Year; (iii) the total Operating Cost Increase Amounts paid by Tenant hereunder for the account of the preceding Operating Year, if applicable; and (iv) the amount of any overpayment or underpayment by Tenant on account of the Operating Increase Amount for the preceding Operating Year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, there shall be no Operating Cost Increase Amount due during Tenant's first twelve (12) months of occupancy.

(b) Each Operating Statement furnished by Landlord to Tenant shall be certified by Landlord as true and correct. If Tenant disputes the amount or characterization of any item contained in the Operating Statement by giving written notice thereof to Landlord within ninety (90) days of Tenant's

receipt of the Operating Statement, Tenant shall have the right to review Landlord's books or designate a firm of independent certified public accountants to audit Landlord's records upon which the Operating Statement is based, provided Tenant pays all sums due as shown on the Operating Statement prior to any audit. Such audit shall be conducted promptly after Tenant's notice of dispute is given to Landlord. The fee for any audit conducted on Tenant's behalf shall be borne solely by Tenant, unless the audit discloses that Landlord's Operating Statement overstated Operating Costs by more than five (5%) percent, in which event Landlord shall forthwith reimburse Tenant for the cost of Tenant's audit. Landlord shall have the right, at its sole expense, to have Tenant's audit reviewed by a mutually agreed upon reputable third party certified public accountant, whose determination shall be based upon generally accepted accounting principles and which shall be conclusive and binding on both Landlord and Tenant. If, as a result of Tenant's inspection of Landlord's books or the audit of Landlord's records and review by an independent certified public accountant, an error is discovered in the Operating Statement, Landlord shall revise the Operating Statement accordingly and any overpayment by Tenant shall be refunded by Landlord to Tenant forthwith and any underpayment shall be paid by Tenant on demand. Any audit and subsequent adjustment in payment shall be deemed to be conclusive of settlement of the dispute. If Tenant does not notify Landlord of a dispute within ninety (90) days of receipt of any Operating Statement, Tenant shall be deemed to have accepted Landlord's Operating Statement.

(c) The "Operating Costs" shall include each and every expense incurred in connection with the ownership, administration, management, operation, maintenance and repair of the Real Estate, or reasonably charged by Landlord if Landlord performs management services in connection with the Real Estate, including management, consulting, legal and accounting fees, and further, including but not limited to, wages, salaries and fees paid to persons either employed by Landlord or engaged as independent contractors in the operation of the Real Estate, and such other typical items of expense as indicated in Subsection (d) below.

(iv) The subtenant is already a tenant in the Building, and Landlord has available space for lease within the Building to accommodate the existing tenant;

(v) The rent that Tenant proposes to market and advertise the space for sublease is more than 10% less than Tenant's Base Rent; provided, however, during the course of negotiations Tenant may ultimately sublease the space for more than 10% less than Tenant's Base Rent.

For the purposes of this Lease, a merger, reorganization or dissolution involving Tenant or any guarantors, or any transfer of this Lease by operation of law, shall be deemed to be an assignment of this Lease which triggers the provisions of this Section 10.01. Furthermore, the sale, issuance or transfer of any voting capital stock of Tenant or voting capital stock of any corporate entity which directly or indirectly controls Tenant or the sale, issuance or transfer of any interest in any non-corporate entity which directly or indirectly controls Tenant, which sale, issuance or transfer results in a change in the direct or indirect voting control of Tenant, shall be deemed to be an assignment of this Lease which triggers the provisions of this Section 10.01, except that the foregoing shall not be applicable to stock which is traded on the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange, or any other nationally recognized stock exchange. If Tenant is a partnership, trust or unincorporated association, then the sale, issuance or transfer of a controlling interest therein or of an interest therein which would result in a change in the voting control of Tenant, or the sale, issuance or transfer of a majority interest in or a change in the voting control of any partnership, trust or unincorporated association or corporation which directly or indirectly controls Tenant, or the sale, issuance or transfer of any portion of any general partnership or managing interest in Tenant or in any such entity, shall be deemed to be an assignment of this Lease which triggers the provisions of this Section 10.01.

(d) Any request by Tenant for Landlord's consent to an assignment of this Lease shall state the proposed assignee's address and be accompanied by a duplicate original of the instrument of assignment (wherein the assignee assumes, jointly and severally with Tenant, the performance of Tenant's obligations hereunder).

(e) Any request by Tenant for Landlord's consent to a sublease shall state the proposed subtenant's address and be accompanied by a duplicate original of the instrument of sublease, which sublease must provide that (i) such sublease is subject to this Lease and that such subtenant shall be bound by all of the terms and conditions of this Lease to the extent of the Demised Premises being sublet, (ii) if this Lease is terminated because of Tenant's default, prior to the expiration date of such sublease, such subtenant shall, at Landlord's option, fully and completely attorn to Landlord for the balance of the term of the sublease, and (iii) such subtenant waives provisions of any present or future law which may give such subtenant any right of election to terminate such sublease or to surrender possession of such subleased space in the event any proceeding is brought by Landlord to terminate this Lease.

(f) In the event of any assignment or sublease to which Landlord has consented or is expressly permitted under this Section 10.01, Tenant will not thereby be released from the payment and performance of any of its obligations in this Lease; rather, Tenant and its assignee or subtenant, as the case may be, will be jointly and severally primarily liable for such payment and performance. Accordingly, Landlord may collect Annual Base Rent and Additional Rent from the assignee or subtenant, as the case may be, and in either such event, Landlord may apply any amounts so collected to the Annual Base Rent and Additional Rent hereunder without thereby waiving any provisions hereof or releasing Tenant from liability for the performance of its obligations hereunder.

(g) Landlord's consent to any assignment or sublease hereunder shall not be deemed a consent to any further proposed assignment or sublease, which shall be governed by this Section 10.01.

(h) In the event of a permitted assignment hereunder (other than to an affiliated company of Tenant pursuant to Section 10.01 (a) above or successor company), all rights hereunder respecting further assignments or subletting shall automatically lapse; moreover, any options contained in this Lease respecting an additional term(s) if any, or otherwise, shall likewise lapse and be of no further force and effect.

(i) In the event of any assignment or sublease request hereunder, Tenant shall pay to landlord as Additional Rent, upon demand, any and all costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred by Landlord in connection with such assignment or sublease request.

(j) Tenant hereby indemnifies, defends and holds Landlord and Landlord's agents harmless from and against any and all losses, liability, damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) resulting from any claims that may be made against Landlord and/or Landlord's agents by (i) any assignee or subtenant or proposed assignee or subtenant, or (ii) any brokers or other persons claiming a commission or similar compensation in connection with the assignee or subtenant or the proposed assignment or sublease or termination of this Lease.

(k) Tenant shall pay to Landlord, immediately upon receipt thereof, fifty (50%) percent of the excess profits, if any, of all compensation received by Tenant for a sublet or assignment over the total Rent allocable to the portion of the Demised Premises covered thereby, net of any reasonable related transaction expenses.

Section 10.02. Subordination:

(a) This Lease shall be subordinate to any present or future ground lease and mortgage. This clause shall be self-operative and no further instrument shall be required. Notwithstanding the self-operative nature of this clause, upon Landlord's request, at any time and from time to time, Tenant shall (i) confirm in writing and in recordable form that this Lease is subordinate to any ground lease or mortgage and/or (ii) execute an instrument making this lease subordinate to any ground lease or mortgage, in such form as may be required by an applicable ground lessor mortgagee.

(b) At Tenant's request and expense, Landlord shall request in writing from any mortgagee a non-disturbance agreement in favor of the Tenant for so long as the Tenant is not in default under this Lease, and provided the Tenant agrees to attorn to the said mortgagee in the event it comes into possession of the premises. However, the failure to obtain same shall not in any way impair Section 10.02(a).

(c) Landlord shall have the right to assign Tenant's Rent payments to any mortgagee in which case Tenant, upon Landlord's written notice, shall make payments directly to such assignee.

Section 10.03. Attornment:

If the Demised Premises, the Building or the Real Estate are encumbered by a mortgage and such mortgage is foreclosed, or if same are sold pursuant to such foreclosure or by reason of a default under said mortgage, (a) Tenant shall not disaffirm this Lease or any of its obligations hereunder, and (b) at the request of the applicable Mortgagee or purchaser at such foreclosure or sale, Tenant shall attorn to such Mortgagee or purchaser and execute a new lease for the Demised Premises setting forth all of the provisions of this Lease except that the term of such new lease shall be for the balance of the Term.

Section 10.04. Transfer of Landlord's Interest:

The term "Landlord" as used in this Lease means only the owner or the Mortgagee in possession of the Demised Premises, the Building or the Real Estate for the time being. In the event of any sale of the Demised Premises, the Building or the Real Estate, or in the event the Building or Real Estate is leased to any person (subject to this Lease), Landlord shall be and hereby is entirely freed and relieved of all of its covenants, obligations and liability hereunder, provided prior written notice is given to Tenant and the security deposit has been transferred to new Landlord. This subsection shall be applicable to each owner from time to time, and shall not be limited to the first owner of the Demised Premises, the Building or the Real Estate.

Section 10.05. Mortgagee's Rights:

(a) If Landlord shall notify Tenant that the Demised Premises, the Building or the Real Estate are encumbered by a mortgage and in such notice set forth the name and address of the Mortgagee thereof, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, no notice intended for Landlord shall be deemed properly given unless a copy thereof is simultaneously sent to such Mortgagee by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested. Until further notice to Tenant, the Mortgagee named in Section 10.05(d) is a Mortgagee to which copies of notices shall be delivered. If any Mortgagee shall perform any obligation that Landlord is required to perform hereunder, such performance by Mortgagee, insofar as Tenant is concerned, shall be deemed performance on behalf of Landlord and shall be accepted by Tenant as if performed by Landlord.

(b) Upon receipt from Mortgagee regarding notice that an event of default exists, Tenant is hereby authorized and instructed to pay directly to Mortgagee all rent thereafter accruing, and the receipt of rent by Mortgagee shall release Tenant's obligation by the amount paid.

(c) Tenant will give to Mortgagee written notice of each and every default by Landlord under this Lease. Tenant cannot exercise any remedies under the Lease unless Mortgagee fails to cure such default within a reasonable period of time after receipt of such notice, provided Mortgagee has an obligation or duty to cure such default.

(d) Tenant acknowledges receipt of notice that the Building is encumbered by a mortgage held by Mortgagee to which copies shall be delivered pursuant to Paragraph 21.04.

ARTICLE XI. COMMON AREA.

Section 11.01. Use of Common Area:

During the Term, the following privileges to use certain portions of the Real Estate in common with Landlord and any designee of Landlord, subject to the terms of this Lease and Landlord's Rules and Regulations, are hereby granted to Tenant and Tenant's Agents:

(i) the non-exclusive license to use the Common Area as defined under Section 2.04; and

(ii) the non-exclusive privilege to use the entrance and exit ways designated by Landlord from time to time for access to the Demised Premises from a public street or highway adjacent to the Real Estate through the appropriate entrances and exits so designated.

Section 11.02. Landlord's Rights:

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Landlord shall have the following rights:

(i) to close all or any portion of the Common Area including the Parking Area to such extent as may, in the opinion of Landlord's counsel, be necessary to prevent a dedication thereof or the accrual of any rights of any person or the public therein;

(ii) to prohibit parking or passage of motor vehicles in areas previously designated for such and to change the location of exclusively marked parking spaces provided that Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide alternate parking space;

(iii) to temporarily close any of the Common Area for repair, maintenance, alteration or improvements;

(iv) to build additions to the Building or erect additional buildings or improvements, permanent or temporary, on the Common Area provided such construction is done in a manner as not to materially interfere with ingress and egress to the Building and not to materially interfere with Tenant's business operations; and

(v) to create paths, walks or other means of cross access through the Real Estate to other properties of the Landlord.

Section 11.03. License Numbers:

In order to restrict the use by Tenant's employees of areas designated or which may be designated by Landlord as handicapped, reserved or restricted Parking Areas, Tenant agrees that it will, at any time requested by Landlord, furnish Landlord with the license numbers of any vehicle of Tenant and Tenant's Agents.

Section 11.04. Parking Areas:

(a) Tenant and Tenant's Agents shall be entitled to use the unreserved Parking Area adjoining the Building, in common with other tenants, subject to reasonable rules and regulations which may be in effect or which Landlord may impose from time to time. Tenant agrees that it shall not burden the parking available for the Building; accordingly, Tenant agrees that it shall not use more than the allocated number of parking spaces defined in Section 2.08 hereof.

(b) Throughout the Term, Landlord shall keep the Parking Area properly striped and paved and in good order and repair, and properly drained. After the end of a snowfall, Landlord will commence to remove accumulated snow and ice from the Parking Area and diligently prosecute the same to completion so that, to the extent practicable, the Parking Area shall be reasonably free of snow and ice. Landlord may deposit accumulated snow on such portions of the Common Area as may be necessary under the circumstances. If any ice cannot be removed with reasonable effort on the part of Landlord, it will be sufficient for Landlord to spread sand and other abrasive substances over the ice.

ARTICLE XII. DESTRUCTION OR DAMAGE.

Section 12.01. Rent Abatement:

If the Demised Premises shall be partially or totally damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty not attributable to the fault, negligence or misuse of Tenant or Tenant's Agents, the Rent payable hereunder shall be abated to the extent that the Demised Premises shall have been rendered untenantable and for the period from the date of such damage or destruction to the date it is rendered tenantable. Should Tenant reoccupy a portion of the Demised Premises during the period any restoration work is taking place and prior to the date same is made completely tenantable, Rent allocable to such portion shall be payable by Tenant from the date of such occupancy.

Section 12.02. Termination by Landlord:

If the Building or the Demised Premises shall be damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty (whether or not the Demised Premises are damaged or destroyed) so as to require an expenditure in Landlord's reasonable opinion of more than 25% of the full insurable value of the Building or if the Demised Premises are completely destroyed or so badly damaged that, in Landlord's reasonable opinion, repairs to the Demised Premises cannot be commenced within sixty (60) days or completed within one hundred twenty (120) days from the date of the damage or destruction, then in either such case, Landlord may terminate this Lease by giving Tenant written notice within thirty (30) days after the date of the casualty, specifying the date of termination of this Lease. In such event, Tenant shall forthwith quit, surrender and vacate the premises without prejudice, however, to Landlord's rights and remedies against Tenant as of the date of termination or as to those rights which survive such termination. In the event of termination, the Rent payable hereunder shall be abated from the date of damage or destruction. In the event the Demised Premises are damaged by fire or other casualty, Landlord shall provide Tenant with a good faith estimate of the time needed to repair the damage within sixty (60) days of the date of the casualty. If the Demised Premises can not be reasonably repaired, with occupancy of the Demised Premises to Tenant within one hundred eighty (180) days from the date of the casualty, then Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease by giving Landlord written notice within thirty (30) days after receipt of the good faith estimate of the time needed to repair the damage from Landlord.

Section 12.03. Landlord's Obligation to Rebuild:

If all or any portion of the Demised Premises is damaged by fire or other casualty and if Landlord has not elected to terminate this Lease, Landlord shall, within a reasonable time after such occurrence, shall repair or rebuild the Demised Premises or such portion to its condition immediately prior to the Commencement Date. Tenant may terminate this Lease by giving written notice to Landlord, if Landlord has not commenced the required repairs within sixty (60) days or has not restored and/or rebuilt the Demised Premises as herein provided within one hundred twenty (120) days from the date of such damage or destruction and such delay is due to Landlord's fault. Landlord shall not be obligated to expend in such repair or rebuilding any sums greater than the proceeds of any insurance policy carried by Landlord or for Landlord's benefit.

Section 12.04. Landlord's Liability:

Landlord shall not be obligated to pay any damages, compensation or claim for inconvenience, loss of business or annoyance arising from any casualty, or repair or restoration of any portion of the Demised Premises or of the Building pursuant to this Article.

(e) Landlord shall maintain insurance coverage for the Building and Real Estate as it deems necessary full insurable value thereof under "All-Risk" policies, and Tenant shall not do or permit to be done any act or thing upon the Premises which would (i) jeopardize or be in conflict with fire insurance policies covering the Building and fixtures and property in the Real Estate, (ii) increase the rate of fire or other casualty insurance applicable to the Real Estate to a rate higher than it otherwise would be for general office use of the Building, or (iii) subject Landlord to any liability or responsibility for injury to any person or persons or to property by reason of any business or operation Tenant carries on upon the Premises.

Section 14.02. Liability Insurance:

Tenant shall provide on or before it enters the Demised Premises for any reason and shall keep in force during the Term for the benefit of Landlord and Tenant, liability insurance naming Landlord and any designee of Landlord as additional insureds. The Policy shall protect Landlord, Tenant and any designee of Landlord against any liability occasioned by any occurrence on or about the Demised Premises or any appurtenance thereto or arising from any of the items indicated in

However, this release shall apply only if the releasor's insurance policies contain a clause or endorsement providing that any such release shall not adversely affect or impair such policies or prejudice the right of the releasor to recover thereunder. Landlord and Tenant each agrees that any fire and extended coverage insurance policies carried by each of them respectively and covering the Demised Premises or their contents will include such a clause or endorsement as long as the same shall be obtainable without extra cost, or, if an extra cost shall be charged therefor, the other party shall pay for such extra cost upon notice of the extra cost.

Section 14.07. Insurance Rate:

If, as a result of (i) any act or omission by Tenant or breach of any terms of this Lease; (ii) the use to which Tenant has put Demised Premises; or (iii) Tenant's failure to comply with Landlord's insurance requirements, Landlord's insurance rates applicable to the Real Estate are raised, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord, on demand, for the increased cost of Landlord's insurance premiums.

(c) Landlord shall defend, indemnify, and hold Tenant and Tenant's Agents harmless against and from any and all injuries, costs, expenses, liabilities, losses, damages, injunctions, suits, actions, fines, penalties, and demands of any kind or nature (including reasonable attorneys' fees) by or on behalf of any person, entity, or governmental authority occasioned by or arising out of injuries occurring in the Common Areas or any other portion of the Building outside the Demised Premises arising from any intentional act, or gross negligence of Landlord or Landlord's agents, employees, or independent contractors (except to the extent caused by or resulting from the acts, omissions, negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or its Agents or other tenants or their Agents).

Tenant's sole remedy will be an action or proceeding to enforce any such provision, or for specific performance, injunction or declaratory judgment.

Section 15.03. Liability of Landlord:

(a) Neither Landlord nor any agent or employee of Landlord shall be liable to Tenant for (i) any injury or damage to Tenant or to any other person or (ii) any damage to, or loss (by theft or otherwise) of, any property of Tenant or any other person, irrespective of the cause of such injury, damage, or loss, unless caused by or due to the willful misconduct or gross negligence of Landlord, its agents or employees without contributory negligence on the part of Tenant.

(b) Landlord, (and, in case Landlord shall be a joint venture, partnership, tenancy-in-common, association or other form of joint ownership) and the members of any joint venture, partnership, tenancy-in-common, association or other form of joint ownership shall have absolutely no personal liability with respect to any provision of this Lease, or any obligation or liability arising therefrom or in connection therewith.

(d) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, this Lease and the obligations of Tenant hereunder shall be in no way affected, impaired or excused because Landlord is unable to fulfill, or is delayed in fulfilling, any of its obligations under this Lease.

ARTICLE XVI. DEFAULT, REMEDIES.

Section 16.01. Default:

Each of the following shall constitute an Event of Default:

(i) the failure of Tenant to pay any Rent, Additional Rent or any other charge required to be paid by Tenant hereunder, when the same shall be due and payable payable beyond a grace period of five (5) days. Notwithstanding the above, Tenant shall be permitted one late payment in any twelve (12) month period, whereby Landlord will provide Tenant notice of said failure to pay and Tenant shall have three (3) days from such notice to submit payment;

(ii) the failure by Tenant to perform or observe any requirement of this Lease not specifically referred to in this Section, and such failure continuing for thirty (30) days after notice from Landlord to Tenant specifying the items in default, provided however, that if such failure cannot be cured within said thirty (30) day period, such longer period (but in no event longer than two (2) months) as may reasonably be necessary to cure such failure provided Tenant is diligently proceeding in good faith to cure the default;

(iii) the commencement by Tenant of a case in bankruptcy, or under the insolvency laws of any State naming Tenant as the debtor;

(iv) the commencement by anyone other than the Tenant of a case in bankruptcy or under the insolvency laws of any State naming Tenant as the debtor, which case shall not have been discharged within sixty (60) days of the commencement thereof;

(v) the making by Tenant of an assignment for the benefit of creditors or any other arrangement involving all or substantially all of its assets under any state statute;

(vi) the appointment of a receiver or trustee for the Tenant or for all or any portion of the property of Tenant in any proceeding, which receivership shall not have been set aside within sixty (60) days of such appointment;

(vii) the refusal by Tenant to take possession of the Demised Premises upon completion of Tenant Work or the vacation and abandonment of the Demised Premises by Tenant, permitting the same to remain unoccupied and unattended; or

(viii) if Tenant is a corporation, the transfer by sale, assignment, operation of law or other disposition of any part or all of its shares of stock so as to result in a change in the effective voting control of Tenant on the date of this Lease;

Section 16.02. Landlord's Remedy:

At any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default, Landlord may give written notice to Tenant specifying such Event(s) of Default and stating that the Lease and the term shall terminate five (5) business days after the giving of such notice, unless Tenant cures the Event of Default. At the expiration of such five (5) business days, if Tenant has not cured the Event of Default, this Lease and the Term and all of the right, title and interest of the Tenant hereunder shall wholly cease and expire, and Tenant shall quit and surrender the Demised Premises to the Landlord. Notwithstanding such termination, surrender, and the expiration of Tenant's right, title, and interest, Tenant's liability and responsibility under all of the provisions of this Lease shall continue.

Section 16.03. Landlord's Re-Entry:

If this Lease shall be terminated as provided in Section 16.02, above, Landlord, or its agents or employees, may re-enter the Demised Premises at any time and remove therefrom Tenant, Tenant's agents, and any subtenants, licensees, concessionaires or invitees, together with any of its or their property, either by summary dispossess proceedings or by any suitable action or proceeding at law or otherwise. In the event of such termination, Landlord may repossess and enjoy the Demised Premises. Landlord shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of law respecting the speedy recovery of lands and tenements, or proceedings in forcible entry and detainer. Tenant waives any rights to the service of any notice of Landlord's intention to re-enter provided for by any present or future law. Landlord shall not be liable in any way in connection with any action it takes pursuant to the foregoing. Notwithstanding any such re-entry, repossession, dispossession or removal, Tenant's liability and responsibility under all of the provisions of this Lease shall continue.

Section 16.04. Landlord's Additional Remedies:

(a) In case of re-entry, repossession or termination of this Lease, whether the same is the result of the institution of summary or other proceedings, Tenant shall remain liable (in addition to accrued liabilities) to the extent legally permissible for: (i) the Rent, and all other charges provided for herein until the date this Lease would have expired had such termination, re-entry or repossession not occurred; and all expenses which Landlord may have incurred in re-entering the Demised Premises, repossessing the same; making good any Default of Tenant; painting, altering or dividing the Demised Premises; combining or placing the same in proper repair; protecting and preserving the same by placing therein watchmen and caretakers; reletting the same (including reasonable attorney's fees and disbursements, Marshall's fees, brokerage fees, in so doing); and any expenses which Landlord may incur during the occupancy of any new tenant; less (ii) the net proceeds of any reletting.

ARTICLE XX. ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS.

Section 20.01. Industrial Site Recovery Act:

(a) "Hazardous Substances" shall include any chemical substance, material or waste or component thereof which is now or hereafter listed, defined or regulated as a hazardous or toxic chemical, substance, material or waste or component thereof by any present or future Federal, State or local environmental law, statute, act, rule, requirement, order, direction, ordinance or regulation and all amendments thereto ("Environmental Laws").

(b) Tenant covenants, represents and warrants that (i) its operation of the Demised Premises shall not involve any Hazardous Substances, (ii) Tenant is not and shall not be an "industrial establishment" (as such term is defined in the Industrial Site Recovery Act, N.J.S.A. 13:1K-6 et seq. (which Act and all present and future amendments thereto and regulations promulgated thereunder are hereinafter referred to as "ISRA")), and (iii) Tenant's Standard Industrial Classification number as designated in the Standard Industrial Classification manual prepared by the Office of Management and Budget in the Executive Office of the President of the United States is, and shall be during the term of this Lease, .

(c) In amplification of Section 20.01 (b) above and any other applicable provision of this Lease and not by way of limitation, in the event Tenant, in violation of this Lease, becomes an "industrial establishment" (as such term is defined in ISRA), Tenant shall, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, without same constituting a waiver by Landlord of such default by Tenant under this Lease, comply with ISRA. Should the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection and Energy, or any agency or subdivision thereof or any agency or subdivision responsible for enforcing ISRA (collectively, the "DEP") determine that a cleanup plan be prepared, then Tenant (or, at Landlord's option, Landlord on behalf of Tenant) shall, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, prepare and submit the required plans and financial assurances, and fully implement the approved cleanup plan prior to the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease; however, Tenant shall not be responsible for any releases, spills or discharges (hereinafter sometimes collectively referred to as "discharges") of Hazardous Substances which occur prior to the commencement of the term of this Lease. Tenant shall further obtain, at Landlord's request, an administrative consent order from the DEP permitting Tenant to vacate the Demised Premises prior to a cleanup or other remediation, all at Tenant's sole cost and expense including, without limitation, paying all filing fees and providing any required financial assurances.

(d) If the closing, terminating or transferring of Tenant's operations at the Demised Premises does not trigger ISRA, or if the closing, terminating or transferring of Tenant's operations at the Demised Premises does trigger ISRA but no cleanup or other remediation of any Hazardous Substances is required by the DEP pursuant to ISRA, then at Landlord's request, Tenant shall obtain, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, within thirty (30) days prior to such closing, terminating or transferring of Tenant's operations at the Demised Premises either a written statement by the DEP that the closing, terminating or transferring of Tenant's operations at the Demised Premises does not trigger ISRA or a "negative declaration" (as defined in ISRA) stating in part, that there are no Hazardous Substances at the Demised Premises which require any cleanup or other remediation.

(e) In the event ISRA compliance becomes necessary at the Demised Premises due to any action or inaction on the part of Tenant, then, at Landlord's election (i) Landlord shall comply with the requirements of ISRA inasmuch as such compliance relates to any Hazardous Substances released, discharged, stored or disposed of at the Demised Premises during the term of this Lease, and Tenant shall be responsible for paying the costs of such compliance within five (5) days after Landlord's demand therefor, or (ii) Tenant shall be responsible for promptly, and within the time frame established by Landlord, complying with ISRA inasmuch as such compliance relates to any Hazardous Substances released, discharged or disposed of at the Demised Premises during the term of this Lease, and Tenant shall be responsible for paying the costs of such ISRA compliance. Tenant shall also promptly after Landlord's request (but in no event later than five (5) days after Landlord's request) provide all information requested by Landlord, sign any affidavit prepared by Landlord concerning ISRA and Tenant's use and occupancy of the Demised Premises and pay all costs of such ISRA compliance that are attributable to Tenant's use and occupancy of the Demised Premises. Landlord and the DEP, and any employee, representative, agent or contractor of Landlord or the DEP, may enter the Demised Premises for the purpose of complying with ISRA.

(f) In the event Tenant, in violation of this Lease, becomes an industrial establishment and fails to comply with paragraphs "(c)" or "(e)" above, as applicable, prior to the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant, at Landlord's option, shall be deemed to be a "holdover tenant" and the provisions of Section 21.08 of this Lease shall be applicable to Tenant's occupancy of the Demised Premises from the expiration or earlier termination of the Term of this Lease. In addition, Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord and Managing Agent harmless from and against any loss, cost, liability or expense resulting from such violation and failure to comply with ISRA including, without limitation, any attorneys' fees and any claims made by any succeeding tenant.

(g) In the event that there shall be filed a lien against the Demised Premises because of any Hazardous Substances released, discharged, stored or disposed of at the Demised Premises during the term of this Lease, Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days from the date Tenant is given notice of the lien (or in such shorter period of time in the event that the holder of such lien, including without limitation, the United States, State of New Jersey, or any agency or subdivision thereof, has commenced steps to cause the Demised Premises and Building to be sold pursuant to the lien) shall pay the claim and remove the lien from the Demised Premises. If Tenant fails to do so by said period, Landlord shall be entitled to resort to such remedies as are provided in this Lease as in the case of any default of this Lease, in addition to any remedies as are permitted by law, in equity or otherwise.

(h) Tenant shall indemnify, defend and save harmless Landlord and Managing Agent from and against all fines, suits, procedures, claims, actions, damages, liabilities, judgments, reasonable costs and expenses (including without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees) of any kind arising out of or in any way connected with the presence of Hazardous Substances at the Demised Premises during the term of this Lease (including, without limitation, Hazardous Substances originating on the Demised Premises or migrating to the Demised Premises from other property, but not including any Hazardous Substances existing prior to the term of this Lease); and from all fines, suits, procedures, claims, actions, damages, liabilities, judgments, reasonable costs and expenses (including without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees) of any kind arising out of Tenant's failure to provide all information, make all submissions and take all actions required by any Environmental Law or Laws.

(i) Tenant's obligations and liabilities under this Article 20 shall continue after expiration or earlier termination of the term of this Lease for so long as Landlord remains responsible for any spills or discharges of Hazardous Substances released, discharged, stored or disposed of at the Demised Premises by Tenant (or any other occupant of the Demised Premises during the term of this Lease) or Tenant's (or any such occupant's) Agents.

(j) In addition to the foregoing environmental obligations on Tenant's part to be performed, Tenant shall also promptly furnish to Landlord (i) true and complete copies of all documents, submissions, and correspondence provided to any environmental agency including, but not limited to, the DEP and the United States Environmental Protection Agency, and (ii) true and complete copies of all sampling and test results obtained from samples and tests taken at, around, in or upon the Demised Premises.

(b) Within fifteen (15) days after receipt of Tenant's Exercise Notice, Landlord shall send written notice to Tenant of the Prevailing Fair Market Rental Rate for the Renewal Term.

The two appraisers shall give their opinion of Prevailing Fair Market Rental Rates within twenty (20) days after their retention. If the opinions of the two appraisers differ by three (3%) percent or less, then the average of the two appraisers shall be used as the Prevailing Fair Market Rental Rate. In the event the opinions of the two appraisers differ by more than three (3%) percent, and after good faith efforts over the succeeding ten (10) day period the parties cannot mutually agree on the Base Rent for the Renewal Term, then the appraisers shall immediately and jointly appoint a third appraiser with the qualifications specified above. This third appraiser shall, within five (5) business days, choose either the determination of Landlord's appraiser or Tenant's appraiser and such choice of this third appraiser shall be final and binding on Landlord and Tenant. Each party shall pay its own costs for its real estate appraiser and shall equally share the costs of any third appraiser. As soon as Landlord and Tenant have agreed to the Base Rent for the Renewal Term, the parties shall execute an amendment to the Lease confirming the extension of the Term and the adjusted Base Rent.

(i) Tenant's timely exercise of this option by providing Landlord its Exercise Notice within the time frame described in paragraph (a) above;

(ii) Tenant shall not be in default under the terms and conditions of this Lease beyond the applicable grace period for the cure thereof at the time Tenant exercises its option;

(iii) Tenant shall not have subleased any portion of the Demised Premises or assigned its interest in this Lease to an unaffiliated company, it being expressly understood that this option to renew shall be deemed personal to Tenant and may not be assigned without Landlord's prior written consent;

(iv) Tenant shall have no further renewal options other than the option to extend for the Renewal Term set forth in paragraph (a) above; and

(v) Landlord shall have no obligation to do any work with respect to the Demised Premises.

Section 21.21. Right of First Offer:

During the initial Term of this Lease, and subject to any rights of other tenants currently in occupancy as of the date of this Lease, upon receipt of Tenant's written request for additional space Landlord shall grant Tenant the "Right of First Offer" to lease any contiguous space on the first (1st) floor of the Building that becomes available ("Offer Space") prior to Landlord leasing said Offer Space to any prospective tenants. Upon such receipt of Tenant's written request for additional space, Landlord shall first offer Tenant the right to lease the Offer Space in accordance with the rental terms and conditions proposed by Landlord, but in no event greater then the Prevailing Fair Market Rental Rate as defined in Section 21.20 above (the "Offer Notice"); provided, however if the Offer Space is leased during the first thirteen (13) months of the Term, then the current Base Rental rates then in effect shall apply to the Offer Space. Tenant shall have fifteen (15) days from the receipt of Landlord's Offer Notice to respond by either (i) electing to exercise its Right of First Offer to lease the Offer Space as presented in Landlord's Offer Notice, in which case Landlord and Tenant will promptly execute an amendment to this Lease incorporating the Offer Space and the terms and conditions for leasing same; or (ii) rejecting the Offer Space, in which case Landlord shall be free to lease said space to any third party prospects. If Tenant does not respond within said fifteen (15) days or fails to timely exercise its rights hereunder, then this Right of First Offer shall lapse, and Landlord may lease the Offer Space to third parties. This Right of First Offer shall not be applicable: (i) during the last six (6) months of the Lease if Tenant has not exercised its Renewal Option as provided herein, or (ii) during any renewal or extension term of the Lease, or (iii) if Tenant rejects two or more Offers presented by Landlord in accordance herewith. For purposes hereof, space shall not be deemed available unless such space is anticipated by the Landlord to become vacant and available for lease, as Landlord shall have the right to renew and/or extend any lease with any tenant whether or not pursuant to a contractual obligation to do so.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Landlord and Tenant have respectively signed and sealed this Lease as of the day and year first above written.
