Exhibit 10.17

SUBLEASE

This Sublease (“Sublease”) is dated November 2, 2009, and is between AETERNA ZENTARIS, INC., (“Sublandlord”), and ROKA BIOSCIENCE, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Subtenant”).

Sublandlord, as tenant, and Normandy Warren Holdings, LLC, as landlord (“Prime Landlord”), executed a Lease Agreement dated August 20, 2007 (“Prime Lease”). Pursuant to the Prime Lease, Sublandlord leased, and is presently in possession of, premises consisting of an approximately 10,741 square feet of office space (“Prime Premises”) in the building located at 20 Independence Boulevard, Warren, New Jersey (“Building”). A copy of the Prime Lease is attached hereto as Exhibit A.

Sublandlord desires to sublease to Subtenant, and Subtenant desires to hire from Sublandlord, (a) initially, a portion of the Prime Premises consisting of 7,500 square feet (“Subleased Premises”), and (b) thereafter, on a date to be determined as provided herein, the remaining portion of the Prime Premises (such remaining portion, the “Retained Premises”), subject to the terms, covenants, agreements, and conditions in this Sublease. The Subleased Premises and the Retained Premises are depicted on Exhibit B attached hereto.

The parties therefore agree as follows:

1. Defined Terms. Except as otherwise provided in this Sublease, all defined terms contained in this Sublease have the same meaning as ascribed to them in the Prime Lease.

2. Sublease.

(a) Subleased Premises Demised. Sublandlord hereby leases to Subtenant and Subtenant hereby hires from Sublandlord the Subleased Premises, together with the right to use the Common Areas as contemplated by and subject to the Prime Lease.

Sublandlord shall deliver the Subleased Premises “broom clean” and free of all of Sublandlord’s personal property (other than the F&F (defined in Section 2(f))) and debris, but otherwise in “AS IS, WHERE IS” condition on the Sublease Commencement Date; provided that Subtenant shall not be responsible for, or required to remedy, any violation of any applicable law, or any condition or state of facts, with respect to the Subleased Premises, the Building or the Land existing on or prior to the Sublease Commencement Date. Sublandlord is not required to perform any work to prepare the Subleased Premises for Subtenant’s intended use. If (i) for any reason Sublandlord has not received Prime Landlord’s written consent to this Sublease in form required by Section 15(i) below by the date which is sixty (60) days from the date hereof, or (ii) Prime Landlord elects to terminate the Prime Lease in respect of the Subleased Premises pursuant to Prime Landlord’s recapture right set forth in Section 16.5 of the Prime Lease, then in

the case of (i), then Sublandlord and Subtenant each may elect at any time thereafter to terminate this Sublease by written notice to the other, whereupon the parties shall deem this Sublease to be null and void and of no effect (except for those provisions expressly stated herein to survive a termination), and in the case of (ii) the Sublease will be deemed terminated in accordance with Section 16.5 of the Prime Lease.

(c) Representations.

(i) Subtenant represents that: (1) Subtenant has thoroughly examined the Subleased Premises and that the same are acceptable to Subtenant in their “as is,” “where is” condition existing on the date of this Sublease; and (2) other than as set forth in this Sublease, neither Sublandlord nor Sublandlord’s agents or other representatives have made, nor has Subtenant relied upon, any representations, warranties, or promises, express or implied, with respect to the Subleased Premises, the F&F, any improvements therein situated or serving the same, the physical condition thereof, Prime Landlord’s title thereto, compliance with laws with respect thereto, or with respect to any other matter or thing relating to the Subleased Premises, including but not limited to, whether Subtenant’s intended use is permitted at the Subleased Premises.

(ii) Sublandlord represents that: (1) the copy of the Prime Lease attached hereto as Exhibit A is a true, correct and complete copy of the Prime Lease, together with all amendments, modifications and sideletters relating thereto; (2) the Prime Lease is in full force and effect and has not been assigned, sublet, pledged, mortgaged, hypothecated or otherwise encumbered by Sublandlord; (3) Sublandlord has neither received nor issued a notice of default with respect to the Prime Lease, and has no actual knowledge of any default under the Prime Lease; (4) Sublandlord has full right and authority to enter into this Sublease, subject only to the consent of Prime Landlord; and (5) Sublandlord is the owner of the F&F free and clear of all liens and encumbrances.

(d) Shared Access. Subtenant acknowledges and agrees that, prior to the Expansion Date (defined in Section 2(e)), Sublandlord will have access to the Retained Premises through and across the Subleased Premises, and Sublandlord and Subtenant shall use and permit such shared access in harmony with one another.

(e) Subleased Premises Expansion.

(i) At any time after the Sublease Commencement Date, Sublandlord may send Subtenant a notice advising Subtenant that Sublandlord intends to vacate the Retained Premises (“Sublandlord’s Notice”) and providing a projected Expansion Date (defined below), which shall not be earlier than sixty (60) days after the date of Sublandlord’s Notice.

-2-

(ii) At any time after the Sublease Commencement Date, Subtenant may send Sublandlord a written notice demanding that Sublandlord vacate the Retained Premises (“Subtenant’s Notice”) no later than sixty (60) days after Sublandlord’s receipt of Subtenant’s Notice. If Sublandlord fails to vacate the Retained Premises prior the date which is sixty (60) days after its receipt of Subtenant’s Notice, then Subtenant may send a further notice to Sublandlord demanding that Sublandlord vacate the Retained Premises (“Subtenant’s Second Notice”) no later than thirty (30) days after Sublandlord’s receipt of Subtenant’s Second Notice. If Sublandlord fails to vacate the Retained Premises prior the date which is thirty (30) days after its receipt of Subtenant’s Second Notice, then Subtenant may terminate this Sublease by written notice thereof to Sublandlord at any time prior to the date Sublandlord vacates the Retained Premises.

(iii) “Expansion Date” means the date Sublandlord vacates the Retained Premises (except for the F&F). After the occurrence of the Expansion Date, Sublandlord may send Subtenant a further notice confirming the Expansion Date. If Subtenant fails to provide notice of its disagreement with such confirmation within ten (10) days after its receipt, such notice will become a part of this Sublease and will be binding on Subtenant and Sublandlord.

(iv) Upon the occurrence of the Expansion Date, (A) Sublandlord hereby subleases to Subtenant, and Subtenant hires from Sublandlord, the Retained Premises (in addition to the Subleased Premises), (B) “Subleased Premises” will mean the Prime Premises, and (C) Sublandlord shall assign to Subtenant, and Subtenant shall assume from Sublandlord, that certain maintenance contract for the supplemental HVAC system located within the Subleased Premises.

(f) F&F.

(i) Subject to Subtenant’s continuous compliance with all of the terms and conditions of this Sublease, Subtenant shall have the right to use the furniture and fixtures (“F&F”) located within the Subleased Premises as of the Sublease Commencement Date and identified on Exhibit C for the Term. Effective as of the Expansion Date, Subtenant shall have the right to use the F&F located within the Retained Premises and identified on Exhibit C for the Term. Subtenant accepts such F&F in its “as is,” “where is” condition, with all faults, and Sublandlord makes no representations or warranties, express or implied, by operation of law or otherwise, with respect to the quality, physical condition or value thereof, or the suitability, merchantability or fitness of any such F&F for a particular purpose. On the earlier of (A Sublease Expiration Date, or (B) the date ten (10) days following the occurrence of an Event of Default by Sublandlord hereunder, Sublandlord shall convey the F&F to Subtenant pursuant to a Bill of Sale in the amount of $1.00.

(ii) Subject to Subtenant’s continuous compliance with all of the terms and conditions of this Sublease, (A) the F&F shall be subject to, and Sublandlord agrees that the provisions of the Sublease create, a security interest in the F&F in favor of Subtenant; (B) Sublandlord shall not voluntarily create, or allow to be created, any further lien or encumbrance on the F&F without the written consent of Subtenant; and (C) Subtenant is hereby authorized to file and refile financing statements or other reasonable documentation in confirmation of or perfection of the foregoing without the further consent of Sublandlord, but the failure to file any such financing statements or other documentation shall not render the security interest created hereby ineffective or without force.

3. Sublease Rent.

(a) Sublease Fixed Rent. Commencing on the Sublease Commencement Date, Subtenant shall pay monthly fixed rent (“Sublease Fixed Rent”) to the Sublandlord in the following amounts:

Period of the Sublease Term:	Annual Sublease Fixed Rent:		Monthly Sublease Fixed Rent Payment:
Sublease Commencement Date through the day prior to the Expansion Date	$	157,500.00	$	13,125.00
Expansion Date through the Expiration Date	$	225,561.00	$	18,796.75

(b) Payment. Subtenant shall pay the Sublease Fixed Rent at Sublandlord’s office address set forth in Section 11 hereof (or such other location as Sublandlord designates). Subtenant shall pay Sublease Fixed Rent, without prior demand, offset, abatement or deduction, in advance on the Sublease Commencement Date or thereafter on or before the 1^st day of each month during the Sublease Term. If the Sublease Commencement Date and/or Expansion Date is other than the first day of the month, then the parties shall prorate any Sublease Fixed Rent for the period following such date which is for less than one calendar month based upon the actual number of days of the calendar month involved.

(c) Sublease Additional Rent. Commencing on the Sublease Commencement Date, Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord, as Sublease Additional Rent:

(i) without duplication, all charges for work, utilities, services and/or labor provided to the Subleased Premises by Prime Landlord at the request of Subtenant;

(ii) an amount equal to Sublandlord’s cost of electric current incurred in respect of the Prime Premises and pursuant to Article 6 of the Prime Lease, multiplied by (A) sixty-nine and 82/100 percent (69.82%) for costs incurred prior to the Expansion Date; and (B) one hundred percent (100%) for costs incurred after the Expansion Date; and

(iii) from and after January 1, 2010, an amount equal to those increases in Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Taxes (defined in Article 4 of the Prime Lease) and Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Landlord’s Operating Expenses (defined in Article 5 of the Prime Lease), over the respective, corresponding amounts for Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Taxes and Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Landlord’s Operating Expenses during the calendar year 2009, multiplied by (A) sixty-nine and 82/100 percent (69.82%) for increases incurred prior to the Expansion Date; and (b) one hundred percent (100%) for increases incurred after the Expansion Date, but otherwise in the manner, at the times, and as determined payable, pursuant to the terms of the Prime Lease (including but not limited to estimated payments).

-4-

(d) “Sublease Rent” means, collectively, any and all Sublease Fixed Rent and Sublease Additional Rent. Neither Subtenant, nor any persons or entities claiming under Subtenant, shall claim any abatement, diminution or reduction of Sublease Rent under any circumstances, for any cause or reason. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Sublandlord is entitled to any abatement of rent under the Prime Lease (whether by casualty, condemnation, service interruption or otherwise), Subtenant shall likewise be entitled to a like abatement of rent under this Sublease.

4. Security. (a) Subtenant has, simultaneously with the execution hereof, deposited with Sublandlord the amount of sixty-five thousand, six hundred twenty-five and 00/100 dollars ($65,625.00; “Security”), for the faithful performance and observance by Subtenant of the terms, covenants, conditions and provisions of this Sublease. Sublandlord may retain, use, or apply the whole or part of the Security to the extent required for payment of any: (i) Sublease Rent not paid when due (subject to applicable grace or cure periods); (ii) loss or damage that Sublandlord may suffer by reason of an Event of Default (defined in Section 19.1 of the Prime Lease) by Subtenant including, without limitation, any damages incurred by Sublandlord or deficiency resulting from the re-letting of the Subleased Premises, whether such damages or deficiency accrues before or after summary proceedings or other reentry by Sublandlord; and (iii) costs incurred by Sublandlord in connection with the cleaning or repair of the Subleased Premises upon expiration or earlier termination of this Sublease. Sublandlord may at its option apply the Security and the Sublandlord’s right to bring an action or special proceeding to recover damages or otherwise to obtain possession of the Subleased Premises before or after Sublandlord’s declaration of the termination of this Sublease for nonpayment of Sublease Rent or for any other reason shall not be affected by reason of the fact that Sublandlord holds the Security. The parties acknowledge and agree that the Security is not a limitation on the Sublandlord’s damages or other rights and remedies available under this Sublease, or at law or equity, nor is the Security a payment of liquidated damages or advance of the Sublease Rent or any component thereof.

(b) If Sublandlord uses, applies, or retains all or any portion of the Security, Subtenant shall restore the Security to its original amount within five (5) business days after written demand from Sublandlord. Subtenant’s failure to strictly comply with this requirement is an Event of Default.

(c) Subject to applicable legal requirements, Sublandlord may commingle the Security with its own funds. Sublandlord is not required to keep the Security in an interest bearing account. Subtenant shall not mortgage, assign, or encumber the Security, and neither Sublandlord nor its successors or assigns will be bound by any such mortgage, assignment or encumbrance.

(d) Sublandlord shall return any unapplied portion of the Security to Subtenant within thirty (30) days after the latest to occur of: (1) the determination of Subtenant’s obligation to pay for Taxes and Landlord’s Operating Expenses pursuant to Section 3(c)(iii) for the final year of the Sublease Term; (2) the date Subtenant surrenders possession of the Subleased Premises to Sublandlord in accordance with this Sublease; or (3) the Sublease Expiration Date.

-5-

(e) In lieu of a cash deposit, Subtenant may deliver the Security to Sublandlord in the form of a letter of credit from a banking institution having a net worth of at least one billion U.S. dollars, and meeting the other criteria set forth in this paragraph that a letter of credit issuer must satisfy. Each letter of credit shall be unconditional and irrevocable, payable to Sublandlord solely upon presentation of a sight draft, and otherwise in form and content reasonably acceptable to Sublandlord for the account of Sublandlord. Said letter of credit shall be for a term of not less than one (1) year and shall be automatically renewed by the bank (without notice from Sublandlord; i.e., an “evergreen” letter of credit), until Sublandlord is required to return the security to Subtenant pursuant to the terms of this Sublease, and Subtenant shall deliver any renewed or replacement letter of credit to Sublandlord no later than sixty (60) days prior to the expiration of the letter of credit then held by Sublandlord. If any portion of the Security is utilized by Sublandlord in the manner permitted by this Sublease, Subtenant shall, within five (5) business days after request by Sublandlord, replenish the Security by depositing with Sublandlord, by letter of credit, an amount equal to that utilized by Sublandlord. Sublandlord may deem Subtenant’s failure to comply strictly with the provisions of this Section to be a material breach of this Sublease, and Sublandlord will be entitled to present the letter of credit then held by it for payment (without notice to Subtenant). In the event of a bank failure or insolvency affecting the letter of credit, Subtenant shall replace same within twenty (20) days after being requested to do so by Sublandlord. If Sublandlord reasonably believes that the letter of credit issuer is financially troubled or at risk of failure, Sublandlord, at Sublandlord’s option, may require Subtenant to substitute letter of credit from one or more banking institutions, reasonably satisfactory to Sublandlord. Subtenant shall ensure that the letter of credit is transferable in connection with a transfer of the Building and Subtenant shall pay for any transfer fees imposed by the bank.

5. Maintenance and Repair.

(a) Subtenant’s Obligations. Subtenant shall, at no cost or expense to Sublandlord, (i) keep the Subleased Premises in the same condition as delivered to Subtenant on the Sublease Commencement Date, reasonable wear and tear excepted; and (ii) replace any ballasts and light bulbs. Subtenant shall promptly repair all damage or injury to the Subleased Premises or to its fixtures, appurtenances and equipment, or to the Building, its fixtures, appurtenances or equipment, caused by Subtenant, its servants, employees, agents, visitors or licensees, at no cost or expense to Sublandlord and to the reasonable satisfaction of Sublandlord. Subtenant shall cause all repairs to be made in a good and workmanlike manner and in accordance with the provisions of this Sublease.

(b) Repairs Pursuant to the Prime Lease. Except to the extent caused by acts or omissions of Subtenant, Subtenant is entitled to receive all of the services, utilities, repairs, maintenance and work from the Prime Landlord to the extent that Sublandlord is entitled to receive same under the Prime Lease with respect to the Subleased Premises. Sublandlord is not liable to Subtenant for any failure in performance resulting from the failure in performance by Prime Landlord under the Prime Lease. Notwithstanding, Sublandlord shall, at Subtenant’s request and at Subtenant’s sole cost and expense, enforce the provisions of the Prime Lease on behalf of Subtenant.

-6-

6. Parking. Subtenant shall have the right to use, prior to the Expansion Date, twenty (20) unreserved parking spaces located on the parking area serving the Building. From and after the Expansion Date, Subtenant shall have the right to use a total of twenty-nine (29) unreserved parking spaces located on the parking area serving the Building. Subtenant’s right to use the parking area pursuant to the foregoing is at all times subject to Subtenant’s continuous compliance with all of the terms and conditions of this Sublease.

7. Provisions of Prime Lease. (a) The following terms, covenants, conditions and provisions in the Prime Lease are hereby incorporated in, and made a part of this Sublease, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, and except those portions of which by their nature or purport are inapplicable to this Sublease, or are inconsistent with or modified by any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Sublease; and such rights and obligations as are contained in the following sections of the Prime Lease are hereby imposed upon the respective parties hereto with the same force and effect as if: (i) references in the Prime Lease to the “Lease” and to the “Premises” or “Demised Premises” were references, respectively, to this Sublease and the Subleased Premises, and (ii) references in the Prime Lease to “Landlord” and “Tenant” were references, respectively, to Sublandlord and Subtenant: Section 7.4, and Articles 16 (except for Section 16.5), 17, 18, 19 (except Sections 19.1(b) and (c)), and 20.

(b) In furtherance of the foregoing Section 7(a), and not by way of limitation, with reference to this Sublease, all time limits for Subtenant to give notice, to cure, or to perform any act, condition or covenant, or exercise any right or remedy hereunder, are the same as those provided for in the Prime Lease, except, as to non-monetary defaults, the time limit is reduced by fifteen percent (15%) (rounded to the greatest reduction); and, if notice is required, measured from the earlier of the date on which notice is given to Subtenant by either Prime Landlord or Sublandlord.

(c) This Sublease and all rights of Subtenant hereunder are subject and subordinate in all respects to the Prime Lease, and all of the terms, covenants, agreements, provisions and conditions of the Prime Lease, and to all modifications, amendments and extensions of the Prime Lease, and to all of Sublandlord’s obligations under the Prime Lease.

(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Subtenant shall not: (i) take or permit any action inconsistent with the terms of the Prime Lease; (ii) do or permit to be done anything which Sublandlord is prohibited from doing or permitting under the Prime Lease, or otherwise do or suffer to permit anything to be done which would result in a default under the Prime Lease or cause the Prime Lease to be terminated or forfeited; or (iii) take any action or do or permit anything to be done which could result in any additional cost or other liability to Sublandlord under or pursuant to the Prime Lease. Likewise, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Sublandlord shall not: (i) take or permit any action inconsistent with the terms of the Prime Lease; (ii) do or permit to be done anything which Sublandlord is prohibited from doing or permitting under the Prime Lease, or otherwise do or suffer to permit anything to be done which would result in a default under the Prime Lease or cause the Prime Lease to be terminated or forfeited; or (iii) take any action or do or permit anything to be done which could result in any additional cost or other liability to Subtenant under or pursuant to the Prime Lease. Sublandlord further covenants to Subtenant that it shall timely fulfill all of its obligations under the Prime Lease, including, but not limited to, the payment of all Basic Rent and Additional Rent.

-7-

(e) If for any reason whatsoever the Prime Lease is terminated by either the Prime Landlord or by Sublandlord, including, without limitation, in the event of any damage, destruction or condemnation with respect to all or part of the Prime Premises, this Sublease will thereupon be terminated, and Sublandlord will not be liable to Subtenant by reason thereof for any loss, cost or expense incurred by Subtenant in connection therewith, unless said termination is effected because of the breach or default of Sublandlord under the Prime Lease (and Subtenant is not in default hereunder) or voluntary surrender of the Prime Lease by Sublandlord to Prime Landlord, provided that in no event will Sublandlord be liable to Subtenant for any loss, cost or expense incurred by Subtenant if Prime Landlord agrees not to disturb Subtenant’s rights under the Sublease or accepts an attornment by Subtenant to Prime Landlord (which attornment Subtenant agrees to make) upon substantially the same terms (or more favorable terms) as provided in this Sublease (or if such attornment is not accepted with Subtenant being in default hereunder), and provided further that in no event will Sublandlord be liable for any special, consequential or punitive damages to Subtenant.

(f) In the case of any issue hereunder between Sublandlord and Subtenant on a matter which is being arbitrated (or may thereafter become the subject of an arbitration) between Prime Landlord and Sublandlord under the Prime Lease, Subtenant will not be a party to the arbitration between Prime Landlord and Sublandlord, but Sublandlord agrees that if such arbitration affects the terms and provisions of this Sublease, Sublandlord shall advise and consult with Subtenant in connection with such arbitration, however, Sublandlord may settle or otherwise resolve the matter with the Prime Landlord in its sole and absolute discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such proposed settlement or resolution shall materially and negatively impact the rights of Subtenant under this Sublease or shall materially increase the obligations (financial or otherwise) of Subtenant under this Sublease, then Sublandlord shall not agree to any such settlement or resolution without the written consent of Subtenant, not to be unreasonably withheld. Any determination or settlement of the matter arbitrated between Prime Landlord and Sublandlord will be binding upon Subtenant, except as provided in the preceding sentence.

(g) Subtenant may request directly from Prime Landlord ordinary work, services, utilities, maintenance and repairs which Prime Landlord is obligated to perform in the Subleased Premises pursuant to the Prime Lease, but such right of Subtenant is conditioned on Subtenant not being in default in payment for any such work, services, utilities, maintenance and repairs previously so provided to the Subleased Premises or otherwise under this Sublease. In the event Subtenant desires any additional services from Prime Landlord which are not provided in the Prime Lease and require an additional charge, Subtenant may request such additional services from Prime Landlord, provided that Subtenant shall be solely responsible for payment for the same.

-8-

(h) Sublandlord is in no event liable to Subtenant, nor will the obligations of Subtenant hereunder be impaired or abated (except to the extent Sublandlord is entitled to an abatement under the Prime Lease), or the performance hereof by Subtenant be excused, because of: (A) any failure or delay on Prime Landlord’s part in furnishing any services, utilities, parking facilities, maintenance, or in doing such repairs or work, including those which may be contemplated by this Sublease, (B) any other failure of Prime Landlord to observe and perform its covenants and agreements pursuant to the Prime Lease, or (C) the acts or omissions of the Prime Landlord, its agents, contractors, servants, employees, invitees, or licensees.

(i) If in this Sublease, Subtenant is required to obtain Sublandlord’s consent or approval, Subtenant acknowledges and agrees that Sublandlord may be required to first obtain the consent or approval of Prime Landlord pursuant to the Prime Lease, Sublandlord shall reasonably cooperate with Subtenant in requesting any such consent or approval. Subtenant shall reimburse Sublandlord for any reasonable, out-of-pocket costs or expenses payable under the Prime Lease or otherwise reasonably incurred by Sublandlord in connection with requesting Prime Landlord’s consent or approval on behalf of Subtenant with respect to any matter as to which Prime Landlord’s consent or approval is required under the Prime Lease or hereunder. If Prime Landlord should refuse such consent or approval, Sublandlord will be released of any obligation to grant its consent or approval with respect to such matter whether or not Prime Landlord’s refusal, in Subtenant’s opinion, is arbitrary or unreasonable.

(j) Sublandlord and Subtenant shall immediately forward to the other, upon receipt thereof, copies of any notices of default or other material notices received by the other party with respect to the Subleased Premises from Prime Landlord, from any governmental authorities, or otherwise.

8. Sublandlord’s Right to Cure. If Subtenant defaults pursuant to any of the provisions of this Sublease, and Subtenant has not begun to cure such default within five (5) days after written notice thereof to Subtenant (except in the case of what Sublandlord reasonably believes to be an emergency situation in which case no such prior notice need be given, but Sublandlord shall give notice to Subtenant as promptly as possible under the circumstances), Sublandlord may, in addition to any other remedy provided in this Sublease, by law or otherwise, cure such default and Subtenant shall pay the cost thereof, together with interest thereon from the date incurred until paid at the Interest Rate, within twenty (20) days following written demand therefore. In the event Subtenant fails to pay the same, Sublandlord may recover such costs, including interest, as Sublease Additional Rent, by utilizing the Security and/or in an action brought against Subtenant, in addition to any other applicable right or remedy Sublandlord. “Interest Rate” means the prime interest rate for short term (90 day) unsecured loans as published from time to time by the Wall Street Journal, Eastern Edition, plus five percent (5%). If, however, payment of interest at such rate by Subtenant should be unlawful, i.e., in violation of usury statutes or otherwise, then “Interest Rate” means the maximum lawful rate payable by such party.

9. Indemnity.

(a) Subtenant shall indemnify, defend and save harmless Sublandlord and Prime Landlord against and from: (a) any and all claims (i) arising from (x) the conduct or management by Subtenant, its subtenants, licensees, its or their employees, agents, contractors or invitees on the Subleased Premises or of any business therein, or (y) any work done in or about the Subleased Premises during the term of this Sublease, except to the extent caused by the act or negligence of Sublandlord or Prime Landlord or their respective employees, agents, contractors or invitees, or (ii) arising from any negligent or otherwise wrongful act or omission of Subtenant or any of its subtenants or licensees or its or their employees, agents, contractors or invitees; and (b) all costs, expenses and liabilities incurred in or in connection with each such claim or action or proceeding brought thereon.

ARTICLE 1

DEFINITIONS

Capitalized terms used in this Lease but not otherwise defined have the meanings set forth in Appendix I.

ARTICLE 2

DEMISE, TERM

2.1 Demise of Premises. Landlord hereby leases and demises to Tenant, and Tenant hereby hires and takes from Landlord, upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Premises for the Term.

2.2 Term.

(a) Term: The Term of this Lease will commence on the Commencement Date and end on the Termination Date, unless terminated earlier pursuant to the terms and conditions hereof.

(b) Commencement Date. The “Commencement Date” will be the earlier to occur of (i) the date Tenant takes occupancy of the Premises for the purposes of conducting its business, and (ii) five (5) days after Landlord notifies Tenant in writing that the Finish Work is Substantially Completed.

4

(c) “Substantially Completed” or “Substantial Completion” means that (i) Landlord has completed the Finish Work in accordance with the Working Plans, except for (x) minor details of construction that will not unreasonably interfere with Tenant’s use of the Premises (collectively, “Punch List Items”), and (y) any part of the Finish Work that is not completed due to any act or omission of Tenant or Tenant’s Visitors; and (ii) Landlord has obtained a valid temporary or permanent certificate of occupancy for the Premises (provided that any such temporary certificate of occupancy permits occupancy of the Premises and provided that Landlord delivers a copy of the permanent certificate of occupancy to Tenant promptly upon receipt of same) or, alternatively, Landlord has completed all Finish Work necessary to entitle Landlord to the issuance of a temporary or permanent certificate of occupancy but for the completion of any Finish Work that is not completed due to any act or omission of Tenant or Tenant’s Visitors (in which case, Landlord shall diligently pursue such temporary or permanent certificate of occupancy following the completion of any such Finish Work that is not completed due to any such act or omission of Tenant or Tenant’s Visitors). If the completion of the Finish Work is delayed due to any act or omission by Tenant or Tenant’s Visitors, including, but not limited to, delays due to changes in or additions to the Finish Work requested by Tenant, delays in submission of information or estimates, delays in giving authorizations or approvals, or delays due to the postponement of any work at the request of Tenant, then the date set forth in paragraph (7) of the Basic Lease Provisions on which Tenant actually begins to pay Basic Rent will be accelerated by the number of days of delay caused by Tenant and Tenant’s Visitors (any such delay being referred to herein as a “Tenant Delay”).

(d) AS IS. Tenant acknowledges that neither Landlord nor any employee, agent or representative of Landlord has made any express or implied representations or warranties, except as expressly set forth herein, with respect to the physical condition of the Building or the Premises, the fitness or quality thereof or any other matter or thing whatsoever with respect to the Building or the Premises or any portion thereof, and that Tenant is not relying upon any such representation or warranty in entering into this Lease. Tenant has inspected the Building and the Premises and is thoroughly acquainted with their respective condition and agrees to take the same “AS IS”, except for the Finish Work which Landlord has agreed to complete pursuant to the terms of Section 2.6. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, Landlord hereby represents and warrants that as of the date hereof, to Landlord’s knowledge, all base Building Services serving the Premises are in good working order. Except as otherwise provided elsewhere in this Lease, if at any time during the Term, a governmental authority shall require compliance with any Legal Requirement in effect as of the date hereof, then Landlord shall effect such compliance.

2.3 Occupancy of Premises. Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises will be deemed to conclusively establish that the Finish Work is Substantially Completed and that the Premises are in satisfactory condition as of the date of such occupancy, unless, within fifteen (15) days of such occupancy, Tenant delivers to Landlord a written notice specifically identifying all unsatisfactory conditions.

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

5

2.5 Move-In Day. Tenant may move its furniture and equipment into the Premises at any time on or after the date which is two (2) weeks prior to the Commencement Date, provided that (i) the move is conducted only on weekdays and not between the hours of 8:00 AM and 9:00 AM or between the hours of 5:00 PM and 6:00 PM, and (ii) Tenant’s move in date is approved by Landlord at least one week in advance. At Landlord’s request, all personnel working for Tenant’s moving contract must be members of the appropriate union. If the move is not completed by 5:00 PM, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, on the next Basic Rent Payment Date, an overtime charge of $50.00 per hour or part thereof until 11:00 PM. No moving will be permitted after 11:00 PM. If applicable, Landlord will attempt to provide one (1) elevator for Tenant’s exclusive use during Tenant’s move. Tenant shall be responsible for any damage caused to the Premises, the Building and/or the Property by Tenant or its moving contractors.

2.6 Finish Work. Landlord shall construct the Finish Work in the manner and as provided in Schedule D attached hereto.

ARTICLE 3

BASIC RENT; ADDITIONAL RENT

3.1 Basic Rent. Tenant shall pay the Basic Rent to Landlord in lawful money of the United States of America in equal monthly installments, in advance, on the Basic Rent Payment Dates, commencing on the four (4) month anniversary of the Commencement Date, except that Tenant shall pay the first installment of Basic Rent upon Tenant’s execution and delivery of this Lease. If the Commencement Date is not a Basic Rent Payment Date, the Basic Rent for the month in which the Commencement Date occurs will be prorated per diem and Tenant shall pay such prorated amount to Landlord on the Commencement Date.

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

3.3 Late Charge. If any installment of Basic Rent or Additional Rent is not paid within five (5) days of when due, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, on demand, a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of the amount unpaid. The late charge is not intended as a penalty but is intended to compensate Landlord for the extra expense Landlord will incur to send out late notices and handle other matters resulting from the late payment. In addition, any installment or installments of Basic Rent or Additional Rent that are not paid within ten (10) days after the date when due, will bear interest at the lesser of: (i) six percent (6%) over the Prime Rate, or (ii) the highest legal rate permitted by law. Any interest due as set forth in the preceding sentence shall be calculated from the due date of the delinquent payment until the date of payment, which interest will be deemed Additional Rent and shall be payable by Tenant upon demand by Landlord.

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

6

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

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

ARTICLE 4

REAL ESTATE TAXES

4.1 Taxes. Tenant shall pay to Landlord Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the amount by which the Taxes for any Lease Year during the Term exceed the Base Taxes; provided, however, that if any special assessments may be paid in installments, Landlord may elect to pay same over the longest period allowed by law; provided that such election does not increase Tenant’s monetary obligation therefor. Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the Taxes for less than a full Lease Year will be prorated.

4.2 Landlord’s Tax Statement. On or about the beginning of the second (2^nd) Lease Year and thereafter within sixty (60) days of the end of each succeeding Lease Year, Landlord shall determine or estimate the amount by which the Taxes for the Lease Year in question will exceed the Base Taxes (the “Projected Taxes”) and within such sixty (60) day period shall submit such information to Tenant in a written statement (“Landlord’s Tax Statement”). Landlord’s failure to render Landlord’s Tax Statement for any Lease Year will not prejudice Landlord’s right to thereafter render Landlord’s Tax Statement with respect to such Lease Year or with respect to any other Lease Year, nor will the rendering of any Landlord’s Tax Statement prejudice Landlord’s right to thereafter render a revised Landlord’s Tax Statement for the applicable Lease Year.

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

7

Landlord’s Tax Statement is received more than ninety (90) days after the commencement of the then current Lease Year, then Tenant shall have the option of paying the Tax Differential in two (2) equal monthly payments within sixty (60) days following receipt of Landlord’s Tax Statement. From time to time during any Lease Year, Landlord may revise the Landlord’s Tax Statement and adjust Tenant’s Monthly Tax Payment to reflect Landlord’s revised estimate, in which event Tenant shall pay, along with the next monthly payment due, the difference (if any) between the aggregate amount of Tenant’s Monthly Tax Payments theretofore made on account of its obligation under Section 4.1 for such Lease Year, and the amount which would have been payable by Tenant during such Lease Year had Landlord billed Tenant for the revised Monthly Tax Payment for such prior elapsed months during such Lease Year. Thereafter, Tenant shall pay the revised monthly estimate in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4.3.

4.4 Reconciliation. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to deliver to Tenant within ninety (90) days after the end of each Lease Year, Landlord’s final determination of the amount by which the Taxes for the Lease Year in question exceed the Base Taxes and shall submit such information to Tenant in a written statement (“Landlord’s Final Tex Statement”). Each Landlord’s Final Tax Statement must reconcile the payments made by Tenant in the Lease Year in question with Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the actual Taxes imposed for the period covered thereby. Any balance due to Landlord shall be paid by Tenant within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s Final Tax Statement; any surplus due to Tenant shall be applied by Landlord against the next accruing monthly installment(s) of Additional Rent due under this Article 4. If the Term has expired or has been terminated, Tenant shall pay the balance due to Landlord or, alternatively, Landlord shall refund the surplus to Tenant, whichever the case may be, within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s Final Tax Statement; provided, however, that, if the Term terminated as a result of a default, beyond applicable notice and cure periods, by Tenant, then Landlord will have the right to retain such surplus to the extent Tenant owes Landlord any Basic Rent or Additional Rent.

4.5 Refund of Taxes. Landlord will have the right, but not the obligation, to seek to obtain a lowering of the assessed valuation of the Property. Landlord may employ whatever individuals and firms Landlord, in its sole judgment, deems necessary to undertake such endeavor. Tenant shall cooperate with Landlord and its representatives in all such endeavors without incurring any cost or expense to Tenant. If Landlord receives a refund of Taxes in respect of a Lease Year and if Tenant paid Additional Rent based on the Taxes paid prior to the refund, Landlord shall first deduct from such tax refund any expenses, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys fees and appraisal fees, incurred in obtaining such tax refund, and out of the remaining balance of such tax refund, Landlord shall credit Tenant’s Proportionate Share of such refund against the next accruing monthly installment(s) of Additional Rent, or if the Term has expired, Landlord shall refund Tenant’s Proportionate Share of such refund to Tenant within thirty (30) days after receipt thereof by Landlord; provided, however, that (i) if the Term terminated as a result of a default, beyond applicable notice and cure periods, by Tenant, Landlord will have the right to retain Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the refund to the extent Tenant owes Landlord any Basic Rent or Additional Rent, and (ii) Tenant’s Proportionate Share of such refund will in no event exceed the amount of Additional Rent actually paid by Tenant on account of the Taxes for the Lease Year in question. Any expenses incurred by Landlord in contesting the validity or the amount of the assessed valuation of the Property or any Taxes, to the extent not offset by a tax refund, will, for the purpose of computing the Additional Rent due

8

Landlord or any credit due to Tenant hereunder, be included as an item of Taxes for the tax year in which such contest is finally determined; provided that Landlord has undertaken such contest in good faith. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, Tenant will have no right to contest or appeal the validity of any Taxes or the assessed valuation of the Property.

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

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

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

4.9 Bills and Statements. The provisions of Section 29.3 apply to Landlord’s Tax Statement.

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

ARTICLE 5

OPERATING EXPENSES

5.1 Operating Expenses.

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

Landlord’s failure to render Landlord’s Expense Statement for any Lease Year will not prejudice Landlord’s right to thereafter render Landlord’s Expense Statement with respect to such Lease Year or with respect to any other Lease Year, nor will the rendering of any Landlord’s Expense Statement prejudice Landlord’s right to thereafter render a revised Landlord’s Expense Statement for the applicable Lease Year.

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

10

5.4 Reconciliation. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to deliver to Tenant, within ninety (90) days after the end of each Lease Year, Landlord’s final determination of the amount by which the Landlord’s Operating Expenses for the Lease Year in question exceed the Base Operating Expenses and shall submit such information to Tenant in a written statement (the “Annual Expense Reconciliation”). Each Annual Expense Reconciliation must reconcile the aggregate of all Monthly Expense Payments made by Tenant in the Lease Year in question with Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the actual Landlord’s Operating Expenses for the period covered thereby. Any balance due to Landlord shall be paid by Tenant within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s receipt of the Annual Expense Reconciliation; any surplus due to Tenant shall be applied by Landlord against the next accruing monthly installment(s) of Additional Rent due under this Article 5. If the Term has expired or has been terminated, Tenant shall pay the balance due to Landlord or, alternatively, Landlord shall refund the surplus to Tenant, whichever the case may be, within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s receipt of the Annual Expense Reconciliation; provided, however, that if the Term terminated as a result of a default, beyond applicable notice and cure periods, by Tenant, then Landlord will have the right to retain such surplus to the extent Tenant owes Landlord any Basic Rent or Additional Rent.

For forty five (45) days following Landlord’s delivery to Tenant of the Annual Expense Reconciliation, Tenant will have the right, during normal business hours and upon no less than five (5) days prior written notice to Landlord, to examine Landlord’s books and records for the purpose of confirming the Annual Expense Reconciliation. Tenant will be deemed to have accepted the Annual Expense Reconciliation unless, within fifteen (15) days after Tenant’s examination of Landlord’s books and records. Tenant delivers an objection notice to Landlord specifying in detail why Tenant believes such Annual Expense Reconciliation is incorrect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 5.5, Tenant will not be permitted to examine Landlord’s books and records or to dispute any Annual Expense Reconciliation unless (i) Tenant has paid to Landlord all amounts due as shown on such Annual Expense Reconciliation, and (ii) Tenant has signed a confidentiality agreement reasonably acceptable to Landlord and Tenant. Tenant shall not engage the services of any legal counsel or other professional consultant who charges for its services on a so-called contingency fee basis for the purpose of reviewing Landlord’s books and records.

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

5.7 Intentionally Omitted.

5.8 Operating Expenses With Respect to Tenant.

The Minimum Electric Energy Charge represents Landlord’s estimate of the annual cost of providing electric current to the Premises. If Landlord’s electric rates increase, the Minimum Electric Energy Charge will be proportionately increased. In addition, the Minimum Electric Energy Charge will be increased if based upon a survey of the electrical current and power load requirements in the Premises, Landlord’s electrical consultant determines that the actual cost of the electric current used in the Premises exceeds the Minimum Electric Energy Charge. Landlord’s consultant shall determine the proper cost of electricity consumed in the Premises based upon the costs and charges Tenant would pay to the utility company as a direct consumer. The Minimum Electric Energy Charge will be adjusted retroactively to the date of the survey. Landlord shall deliver a copy of the survey to Tenant, together with a statement setting forth the new Minimum Electric Energy Charge and the Survey Adjustment Amount. The “Survey Adjustment Amount” means (i) the new Minimum Electric Energy Charge applicable to the period from the date of the survey until the next Basic Rent Payment Date, less (ii) the total Minimum Electric Energy Charge actually paid by Tenant for the same period. Tenant shall pay the Survey Adjustment Amount to Landlord on the next Basic Rent Payment Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event will Tenant be entitled to a refund or credit of any kind against the Minimum Electric Charge paid or payable by Tenant, it being understood and agreed that the Minimum Electric Energy Charge is a minimum charge. If Tenant installs any high electrical usage equipment, Landlord reserves the right to place an electrical check meter on such equipment, as well as any other equipment used in conjunction therewith, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. Tenant shall pay the charges for electrical energy consumed by such high electrical usage equipment in addition to all other sums due under this Lease. At the option of Landlord, Tenant agrees to purchase from Landlord, at commercially reasonable rates, all light bulbs, fluorescent lighting fixtures, starters, ballasts, lenses and grills used in the Premises as and when same require replacement, and to pay to Landlord the commercially reasonable costs of installing the same.

6.2 Tenant Not To Exceed Capacity. Tenant’s use of electric energy in the Premises shall not at any time exceed the capacity of any of the electrical conductors and equipment in or otherwise serving the Premises. In order to insure that such capacity is not exceeded and to avert possible adverse effect upon the Building electric service, Tenant shall not, without Landlord’s prior written consent, connect any fixtures, appliances or equipment to the Building electric distribution system outside the Premises or make any alteration or addition to the electric system of the Premises. Any changes requested by Tenant must be sent in writing to Landlord, and if, in the reasonable judgment of Landlord, such changes will not cause or create a dangerous or hazardous condition or damage or injury to the Building, or entail excessive or unreasonable alterations or repairs, or unreasonably interfere with or disturb other tenants or occupants and/or the service then or thereafter to be supplied to tenants or occupants, Landlord will, at the sole cost and expense of Tenant, make such changes. Tenant shall pay Landlord for such costs and expenses within twenty (20) days of Tenant’s receipt of an invoice therefor.

12

6.3 Electric Meters. Landlord reserves the right to install separate meters, submeters, check meters or other measuring devices to measure the electricity consumed in the Premises and in such event the Minimum Electric Energy Charge will be based on actual usage. If direct meters are installed, Tenant shall be responsible for payment of all charges directly to the utility company, such charges to include, without limitation, usage charges, installation charges, meter reading charges and demand factors. If submeters or check meters are installed, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, within thirty (30) days after receipt of Landlord’s bill therefor, an amount equal to the average actual cost of electrical service per kwh payable by Landlord for the Building times Tenant’s consumption in the Premises as shown on said meter(s) and any tax in connection with the resale of electricity by Landlord to Tenant. Bills for such electrical usage shall be rendered by Landlord at such times as Landlord may elect and the amounts shown on such bills shall be paid by Tenant as Additional Rent within the thirty (30) days after receipt of such bills. Landlord shall be responsible for maintaining and repairing the submeters. The cost of installing meters or other measuring devices that are installed at the election of Landlord shall be divided equally among the tenants for whom the meters are installed at the same time and not based upon rentable area.

6.4 Utility Deregulation. If permitted by law, Landlord will have the right to choose the service providers that deliver electricity to the Premises. Tenant shall cooperate, without material cost or expense to Tenant, with Landlord and such service providers, including granting reasonable access to the electric lines, feeders, risers, wiring, and any other machinery within the Premises. If the law prohibits Landlord from choosing the service providers that deliver electricity to the Premises, then Tenant’s choice of such service providers is subject to Landlord’s prior written consent, and no such service provider will be permitted to deliver service to or otherwise affect the Building’s electric system without such consent.

6.5 Landlord Not Liable. Landlord will not be responsible for any loss, damage or expenses, and Tenant will not be entitled to any rent abatement, diminution, setoff, or any other relief from its obligations hereunder, on account of any change in the quantity or character of the electric service or any cessation or interruption of the supply of electricity to the Premises, to the extent that any such change, cessation or interruption is not caused by or arising from Landlord’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. If such change, cessation or interruption shall be caused by Landlord’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, and same prevents Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Premises for the Permitted Use hereunder for five (5) consecutive days, then Tenant shall have the right to an abatement of Base Rent and Additional Rent for each day after such five (5) day period that any such change, cessation or interruption continues.

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

Tenant shall, upon demand, reimburse Landlord for all costs, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, incurred by Landlord in reviewing any proposed assignment of this Lease, any proposed sublease of the Premises, and any permits, approvals, and applications in connection with any construction to be performed in the Premises.

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

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

ARTICLE 20

CONDITIONAL LIMITATIONS, REMEDIES

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

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

(b) If Landlord terminates this Lease pursuant to this Article 20, Tenant will remain liable for (i) the sum of (x) all Basic Rent, Additional Rent and other amounts payable by Tenant hereunder until the date this Lease would have expired had such termination not occurred, and (y) all reasonable expenses incurred by Landlord in re-entering the Premises, repossessing the same, making good any default of Tenant, painting, altering or dividing the Premises, putting the same in proper repair, reletting the same (including any and all reasonable attorneys fees and disbursements and reasonable brokerage fees incurred in so doing), removing and storing any property left in the Premises following such termination, and any and all reasonable expenses which Landlord may incur during the occupancy of any new tenant (other than expenses of a type that are Landlord’s responsibility under the terms of this Lease); less (ii) the net proceeds of any reletting actually received by Landlord from any new tenant. Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord the difference between items (i) and (ii) above with respect to each month during the period that would have constituted the balance of the Term, at the end of such

35

month. Any suit brought by Landlord to enforce collection of such difference for any one month will not prejudice Landlord’s right to enforce the collection of any difference for any subsequent month. Tenant’s liability under this Section 20.2(b) will survive the institution of summary proceedings and the issuance of any warrant thereunder.

(c) If Landlord terminates this Lease pursuant to Article 20, Landlord will have the right, to require Tenant to pay to Landlord, on demand, as liquidated and agreed final damages in lieu of Tenant’s liability under Section 20.2(b), an amount equal to the difference (discounted to the date of such demand at an annual rate of interest equal to the then-current yield on actively traded United States Treasury bills or United States Treasury notes having a maturity substantially comparable to the remaining term of this Lease as of the date of such termination, as published in the Federal Reserve Statistical Release for the week before the date of such termination) between (i) the Basic Rent and Additional Rent, computed on the basis of the then current annual rate of Basic Rent and Additional Rent and all fixed and determinable increases in Basic Rent, which would have been payable from the date of such demand to the date when this Lease would have expired if it had not been terminated, and (ii) the then fair rental value of the Premises for the same period less the costs of reletting expenses, including the cost to paint, alter or divide the space, put the Premises in proper repair, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, and reasonable brokerage fees. Upon payment of such liquidated and agreed final damages, Tenant will be released from all further liability under this Lease with respect to the period after the date of such demand, except for those obligations that expressly survive the termination of this Lease. If, after the Event of Default giving rise to the termination of this Lease, but before presentation of proof of such liquidated damages, the Premises, or any part thereof, are relet by Landlord for a term of one year or more, the amount of rent reserved upon such reletting will be deemed to be the fair rental value for the part of the Premises relet during the term of such reletting.

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

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

36

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

20.7 Landlord’s Cure Rights. If Tenant is in default, beyond applicable notice and cure periods, of any of its obligations under this Lease, Landlord may, without waiving such default, perform such obligations for the account and at the expense of Tenant (a) immediately and without notice in the case of Emergency, and (b) in any other case, if such default continues after thirty (30) days from the date Landlord delivers a written notice to Tenant stating Landlord’s intention to perform such obligation for the account and at the expense of Tenant. Upon Landlord’s demand, Tenant shall pay to Landlord all reasonable out of pocket costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in performing any obligations of Tenant under this Lease.

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

ARTICLE 23

SUBORDINATION

23.1 Subordination. This Lease and the term and estate hereby granted are subject and subordinate to the lien of each mortgage which now or at any time hereafter affects all or any portion of the Premises or Landlord’s interest therein and to all ground or master leases which now or at any time hereafter affect all or any portion of the Property (any such mortgage or ground lease being referred to herein as an “Underlying Encumbrance”). The subordination of this Lease and the term and estate hereby granted to an Underlying Encumbrance will be self-operative and no further instrument will be required to effect any such subordination; provided, however, that, upon not less than ten (10) days’ prior written notice by Landlord, Tenant shall

38

execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord any and all reasonable instruments that may be necessary or proper to effect such subordination or to confirm or evidence the same. Notwithstanding the above, Landlord hereby agrees to use reasonable efforts to obtain, for the benefit of Tenant, a Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement from the holder of any such Underlying Encumbrance which shall be written on the applicable holder’s customary form, provided that such holder is an institutional entity.

23.2 Conveyance by Landlord. If all or any portion of Landlord’s estate in the Property is sold or conveyed to any person, firm or corporation upon the exercise of any remedy provided in any mortgage or by law or equity, such person, firm or corporation (a) will not be liable for any act or omission of Landlord under this Lease occurring prior to such sale or conveyance, (b) will not be subject to any offset, defense or counterclaim accruing prior to such sale or conveyance, (c) will not be bound by any payment prior to such sale or conveyance of Basic Rent, Additional Rent or other payments for more than one month in advance (except for any unapplied security deposit), and (d) will be liable for the keeping, observance and performance of the other covenants, agreements, terms, provisions and conditions to be kept, observed and performed by Landlord under this Lease only during the period such person, firm or corporation holds such interest.

23.3 Cure Rights. In the event of a casualty or an act or omission by Landlord that gives Tenant the right to terminate this Lease or to claim a partial or total eviction, Tenant shall not exercise any such right or make any such claim until (i) Tenant has delivered written notice of such casualty, act or omission to the holder of each Underlying Encumbrance, and (ii) the holder of each Underlying Encumbrance has had a reasonable opportunity to, with reasonable diligence, remedy such casualty act or omission, but in no event more than thirty (30) days after expiration of the respective cure period set forth in this Lease. Landlord shall provide Tenant with the name and current address of the holder of each Underlying Encumbrance.

23.4 Reasonable Modifications. If, in connection with obtaining financing for the Property or refinancing any mortgage encumbering the Property, the prospective Lender or Master Landlord requests reasonable modifications to this Lease as a condition precedent to such financing or refinancing, then Tenant shall not to unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent to such modifications, provided that such modifications do not (i) increase the Basic Rent or Additional Rent, (ii) increase the security deposit, if any, (iii) reduce the Term, (iv) affect the termination, extension or expansion options, (v) materially and adversely affect the leasehold interest created by this Lease or any of the rights or obligations hereunder, or (vi) materially and adversely affect the manner in which Tenant’s operations are conducted at the Premises.

ARTICLE 24

TENANT’S REMOVAL

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

39

24.2 Landlord’s Early Entry. If, at any time during the last six (6) months of the Term, Tenant is not occupying any part of the Premises in connection with the conduct of its business, Landlord may elect, at its option, to enter such part of the Premises to alter and/or redecorate the same. Tenant hereby irrevocably grants to Landlord a license to enter such part of the Premises to perform such alterations and/or redecorations. Landlord’s exercise of its rights under this Section 24.2 will not relieve Tenant from any of its obligation under this Lease.

24.3 Holding Over. If Tenant, or any assignee or subtenant of Tenant, holds over possession of the Premises beyond the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, such holding over will not be deemed to extend the Term or renew this Lease but such holding over will continue upon the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease except that the charge for use and occupancy of the Premises for each calendar month or portion thereof that Tenant or such assignee or subtenant holds over will be a liquidated sum equal to one-twelfth (1/12th) of one and one half (1¹/2) times the Basic Rent and Additional Rent for the Lease Year preceding the Expiration Date for the first thirty (30) days of such holdover period, and thereafter, two (2) times such Basic Rent and Additional Rent. Tenant shall remain obligated to continue to pay Additional Rent during any holdover period. The parties recognize and agree that the damage to Landlord resulting from any failure by Tenant or any assignee or subtenant of Tenant to timely surrender possession of the Premises will exceed the amount of the monthly Basic Rent and Additional Rent and will be impossible to accurately measure. In connection with any holdover, in no event shall Tenant, or any assignee or subtenant, be liable for any consequential damages unless Landlord gives Tenant written notice that the Premises have been leased to another Tenant after the Termination Date. If the Premises are not surrendered upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Landlord against any and all losses and liabilities resulting therefrom, including, without limitation, any claims made by any succeeding tenant founded upon such delay. Nothing contained in this Lease will be construed as a consent by Landlord to the occupancy or possession of the Premises beyond the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, take all actions required to remove any assignee or subtenant of Tenant, or other party claiming rights to the Premises under or through Tenant upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Term.

SECURITY DEPOSIT

28.1(a) Security. Concurrently with the execution of this Lease, Tenant shall deposit with Landlord an unconditional “evergreen” letter of credit in an amount equal to the Security from a recognized commercial banking institution located in the State of New Jersey or the City of New York and having a net worth of at least $500,000,000.00 (the “Letter of Credit”). The Letter of Credit will be held by Landlord as security for the full and faithful performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease. The Letter of Credit must be payable upon sight draft, together with a certification from Landlord that Tenant is in default under this Lease. If (i) any Basic Rent, Additional Rent or other sum payable by Tenant to Landlord is not paid when due, or (ii) Landlord makes any payments on behalf of Tenant, or (iii) Tenant fails to perform any of its obligations under this Lease, then, in each case, Landlord will have the right, without prejudice to any other remedy Landlord may have, to draw down such Letter of Credit to compensate or reimburse Landlord, as the case may be, toward the payment of Basic Rent, Additional Rent or other such sum payable hereunder, or other loss or damage sustained by Landlord on account of Tenant’s default. The Security will not be deemed to be (x) a limitation on Landlord’s damages, (y) a payment of liquidated damages, or (z) an advance of the Basic Rent or Additional Rent. If Landlord uses, applies, or retains all or any portion of the Security, Tenant shall immediately restore the Security to its original amount. If the Letter of Credit requires renewal, Tenant shall furnish to Landlord evidence of such renewal at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiation date of the Letter of Credit. If Tenant fails to timely provide Landlord with such evidence of renewal, Landlord will have the right to cash the Letter of Credit and to retain the proceeds as security hereunder. Landlord will not be required to keep any cash security separate from its own funds. Landlord will have no fiduciary responsibilities or trust obligations with regard to any cash security and will not be obligated to pay Tenant any interest on any cash security. Tenant shall

41

not assign, pledge, hypothecate, mortgage or otherwise encumber the Security. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the amount of the Security will be reduced (i)to $75,000.00 on the second (2^nd) anniversary of the Commencement Date, and (ii) to $50,000.00 on the fourth (4^th) anniversary of the Commencement Date, provided, that, prior to and as of each such date, Tenant (i) has not defaulted in the payment of any Basic Rent or Additional Rent during the Term, and (ii) has not otherwise defaulted in the performance of any of its obligations hereunder beyond any applicable notice and grace periods. If Tenant qualifies for the reductions in Security pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, upon Tenant’s deposit with Landlord of a new letter of credit in each such reduced amount and otherwise conforming to the criteria set forth in this Article 28, Landlord shall promptly return the letter of credit then held by Landlord to Tenant.

(b) If Tenant is in default under this Lease more than two (2) times during any twelve (12) month period, irrespective of whether or not such default is cured, then, without limiting Landlord’s other rights and remedies provided for in this Lease or at law or equity, the Letter of Credit will automatically be increased to an amount equal to the greater of: (i) one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the original Security, and (ii) three (3) months then current Basic Rent. Tenant shall pay the amount of such increase in the Security to Landlord upon demand.

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

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

28.4 Transfer of Security. In the event of any transfer of title to the Property or the Building or any assignment of Landlord’s interest under this Lease, Landlord will have the right to transfer the Security to such transferee, provided that Landlord gives Tenant the name and address of such transferee. Following any such transfer of the Security, Landlord will be automatically released from all liability for the return of the Security. The provisions of this Section 28.4 will apply to every transfer of the Security to a new transferee.

ARTICLE 29

MISCELLANEOUS

29.1 Miscellaneous. This Lease may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of both parties.

EXTENSION OPTION

31.1 Extension Option. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 31.1, Landlord hereby grants to Tenant the right to extend the original Term for one (1) period of five (5) years (the “Extension Period”). If Tenant desires to exercise the extension option, Tenant shall notify Landlord on or before the date which is nine (9) months prior to the expiration of the original Term. If Tenant fails to timely notify Landlord of its election to extend this Lease, Tenant will be deemed to have waived its right to extend the term of this Lease, time being of the essence with respect to the exercise of such extension option. If Tenant exercises the extension option, all of the terms and conditions of this Lease will apply to the Extension Period, except that the Basic Rent for the Extension Period will an amount determined pursuant to Section 31.2. In connection with any extension of the Term, Landlord will not be obligated to do any work to the Premises and will not be obligated to contribute to the cost of any work done to the Premises by Tenant.

If all of the foregoing conditions are not satisfied on both the date Tenant exercises the Extension Option and the commencement date of the Extension Period, then any notice exercising the extension option will be automatically null and void.

44

31.2 (a) Extension Period Rent. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Basic Rent during the Extension Period, the Fair Market Rental Value of the Premises. “Fair Market Rental Value” means the annual basic rent for each year of the relevant period for which, on the terms and conditions of this Lease, a willing landlord would rent the Premises to a willing tenant with neither party being compelled to rent and after appropriate exposure of the Premises to the market for a reasonable period of time. Notwithstanding the forgoing, in no event will the Fair Market Rental Value be less than the Basic Rent payable for the year immediately preceding the commencement of the Extension Period. Fair Market Rental Value will not include the cost of improvements or alterations to the Premises which were paid for by Tenant and not reimbursed by Landlord.

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

(c) If Landlord’s and Tenant’s determinations of Fair Market Rental Value differ by five percent (5%) or more, then, within ten (10) days each party delivers to the other party such party’s determination of the Fair Market Rental Value, Landlord and Tenant shall each appoint one disinterested appraiser having the qualifications set forth herein. Each such appraiser must be a Member of the Appraisal Institute (MAI) and have at least ten (10) years of experience appraising multi-tenanted office buildings in northern New Jersey as a MAI appraiser. If either Landlord or Tenant fails to appoint an appraiser within such ten (10) day period, the appraiser appointed by Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be, shall appoint an appraiser having the qualifications set forth herein. As promptly as possible, but in no event later than thirty (30) days after the appointment of both appraisers, the appraisers shall notify Landlord and Tenant in writing of their determination of the Fair Market Rental Value. The Fair Market Rental Value so selected by the two appraisers will constitute the Fair Market Rental Value for the relevant period, and will be binding upon Landlord and Tenant If the two appraisers are unable to agree as to the Fair Market Rental Value, but their determinations differ by less than five percent (5%), the Fair Market Rental Value will be the average of the determinations of the two appraisers. If the two appraisers’ determinations differ by five percent (5%) or more, then the two appraisers shall, promptly agree upon and appoint a third appraiser having the qualifications set forth herein. The third appraiser shall, within thirty (30) days of appointment, determine which of the two initial appraisers determination of Fair Market Rental Value is the closest to the actual Fair Market Rental Value, taking into account the requirements of this Section 31.2, and shall notify Landlord and Tenant thereof. The Fair Market Rental Value selected by the third appraiser will constitute the Fair Market Rental Value for the relevant period, and will be binding upon Landlord and Tenant. Upon the determination of the Fair Market Rental Value, Landlord and Tenant shall promptly execute an instrument setting forth the amount of such Fair Market Rental Value.

45

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

Thereafter, Tenant shall enter into an amendment to this Lease reasonably acceptable to both parties (the “Lease Amendment”) within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Offer Notice. If Tenant fails to timely enter into the Lease Amendment, Tenant shall be deemed to have waived its Expansion Space Option.

(c) Landlord shall only be obligated to deliver to Tenant an Offer Notice for any Expansion Space once for any particular space on the fourth (4^th) floor contiguous to the Premises.

Landlord shall cause the General Contractor to construct the Finish Work in a good and workmanlike manner and in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.

2. (a) As soon as reasonably possible after the date of execution of this Lease, but in no event later than three (3) business days after the execution of this Lease, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord four (4) sets of working plans and specifications prepared in conformity with the Preliminary Plans, which working plans and specifications must include, without being limited to, a list of the types and quality of materials to be used in constructing the Finish Work, including Tenant’s selection of Landlord’s standard finishes. Landlord shall notify Tenant whether it approves or disapproves of such working plans and specifications within ten (10) business days after Landlord’s receipt thereof.

Landlord shall approve or disapprove such revised working plans and specifications within five (5) business days after Tenant submits the same to Landlord. Landlord’s approval will be evidenced by endorsement to that effect on one set of the working plans and specifications and the return of such signed set to Tenant. The working plans and specifications approved by Landlord are hereinafter referred to as the “Working Plans”. If Tenant fails to take any action within the time periods specified in this Schedule D, such delay (beyond the applicable time period set forth herein) will be accounted for as a Tenant Delay.

(b) If Tenant desires any changes to the Working Plans, Tenant shall submit such proposed changes to Landlord. Within five (5) business days after receipt of any proposed changes from Tenant, Landlord shall approve or reject such changes and, if rejecting such changes, shall state the reasons for such rejection.
