hereinafter set forth.

 

                                    AGREEMENT

 

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of Ten Dollars ($10.00), the mutual

         1. DEFINED TERMS. All terms defined in the Prime Lease and used herein

in the Prime Lease.

 

         2. TERM. The term of this Sublease shall commence on the later to occur

         3. DELIVERY. The Subleased Premises shall be delivered to Subtenant on

the Sublease Commencement Date, broom-clean, free of all occupants and free of

Subleased Premises without first having obtained Prime Landlord's and

Sublandlord's consent thereto, it being understood that Prime Landlord and

Sublandlord may, in their sole discretion, withhold such consents but not

unreasonably.

 

         4. BASIC RENT. Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord, in advance, monthly

installments, Base Rent of $46,453.00 beginning on the Sublease Term

Commencement Date (the "RENT COMMENCEMENT DATE"). The first payment is to be

made concurrent with the execution of the within Sublease. Base Rent for any

partial calendar months at the beginning or end of the Sublease Term shall be

prorated on a daily basis. Subtenant acknowledges that Sublandlord's payments of

Base Rent for the Original Premises are paid to Prime Landlord on the first day

of each calendar month during the Term and Subtenant therefore covenants and

agrees that its payments of Base Rent hereunder shall be paid to Sublandlord at

least five (5) business days prior to the first of each calendar month.

2.2, Additional Rental of the Prime Lease, Sublandlord is obligated to pay to

Taxes for the Building, as more particularly described in such Paragraph.

Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord, with its monthly payment of Base Rent from

and after the Rent Commencement Date, Subtenant's proportionate share of

Sublandlord's additional rent obligations under the Prime Lease, such

proportionate share being fixed at 35.76% (referred to hereinafter as

"SUBTENANT'S PROPORTIONATE SHARE") provided that, for the purpose of this

Sublease, the Subtenant's Base Year shall be the 2004 calendar year. Sublandlord

statements of Operating Expenses or Real Estate Taxes delivered to Sublandlord

by Prime Landlord. Additional Rent payable hereunder for any partial calendar

month at the beginning or end of the Sublease Term shall be pro-rated on a daily

basis. Upon Subtenant's written request, and subject to the terms and conditions

of the Prime Lease, Sublandlord shall cause an audit to be conducted of Prime

Landlord's books and records. Said audit shall be conducted at the sole cost and

expense of Subtenant.

 

         6. USE. The Subleased Premises shall be used solely for the use set

regulations of any governmental boards or bureaus having jurisdiction thereof.

 

         7. PRIME LEASE. Subtenant agrees that it will do nothing in, on or

about the Subleased Premises which would result in the breach by Sublandlord of

its undertakings and obligations under the Prime Lease. Except as expressly set

forth herein, the Sublease shall be subject to and on all of the terms and

conditions as are contained in the Prime Lease and the provisions of the Prime

Lease are hereby incorporated into this Sublease as if Sublandlord were the

landlord thereunder and Subtenant the tenant thereunder. Where appropriate,

references to "Landlord" in the Prime Lease shall be deemed to mean

"Sublandlord" hereunder and references to "Tenant" in the Prime Lease shall be

deemed to mean "Subtenant" hereunder, it being understood and agreed that

Sublandlord will not be acting as, or assuming any of the responsibilities of

Prime Landlord, and all references in the Prime Lease to Landlord-provided

services or Landlord insurance requirements, and any other references which by

their nature

 

                                       2

<PAGE>

 

relate to the owner or operator of the Subleased Premises, rather than to a

tenant of the Subleased Premises subleasing space to a subtenant shall continue

to be references to Prime Landlord and not to Sublandlord. Without limiting the

foregoing, Subtenant expressly agrees that it does not have any right to expand

the premises or extend the term under either the Sublease or the Prime Lease and

that it is not entitled to any expenditure or allowance by Sublandlord or Prime

Landlord with respect to improvements to the Subleased Premises, except as

expressly set forth herein.

 

         8. SUBTENANT'S COVENANTS. Subtenant covenants to Sublandlord to perform

all of the covenants and obligations to be performed by Sublandlord as Tenant

with this Sublease and the applicable provisions of the Prime Lease, as modified

by this Sublease, in all respects (including, without limitation, complying with

all OSHA, environmental and other applicable laws, regulations and standards).

If Subtenant shall fail to make any payment or perform any act required to be

made or performed by Subtenant under the Prime Lease pursuant to Subtenant's

assumption of Sublandlord's obligations thereunder as they relate to the

Subleased Premises, and such default is not cured by Subtenant at least three

(3) business days prior to the expiration of such Prime Lease cure period,

Sublandlord, without waiving or releasing any obligation or default hereunder,

may (but shall be under no obligation to) make such payment or perform such act

for the account and at the expense of Subtenant, and may take any and all such

actions as Sublandlord in its sole discretion deems necessary or appropriate to

accomplish such cure. If Sublandlord shall reasonably incur any expense in

remedying such default, Sublandlord shall be entitled to recover such sums upon

demand from Subtenant as Additional Rent under this Sublease.

 

         9. SUBLANDLORD'S COVENANTS. Sublandlord covenants to Subtenant to

perform all of the terms and provisions required of it under the Prime Lease and

to promptly pay when due all rents due and accruing to Prime Landlord.

Sublandlord will use reasonable efforts to enforce on behalf of Subtenant

Sublandlord's rights under the Prime Lease. Nothing contained in this Sublease

shall be construed as a guarantee by Sublandlord of any of the obligations,

covenants, warranties, agreements or undertakings of Prime Landlord in the Prime

Lease, nor as an undertaking by Sublandlord to Subtenant on the same or similar

terms as are contained in the Prime Lease.

 

         10. INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE.

              Amendment to Sublease dated August, 2004 (collectively, the

              "SUBLEASE")

 

Gentlemen:

 

         Reference is hereby made to the provisions of the Sublease, pursuant to

which Predix Pharmaceuticals Holdings, Inc. ("SUBLANDLORD") leased to Novo

Nordisk Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("SUBTENANT") the entire third (3rd) floor (the

"PREMISES") of the building known as 150 College Road West, Plainsboro Township

(Middlesex County), New Jersey.

 

         Subtenant has requested Sublandlord's consent to a further subletting

of the entire Premises by Subtenant to ZS Associates, Inc. ("UNDERTENANT")

pursuant to the provisions contained in a certain secondary sublease dated

contemporaneously herewith (the "SECONDARY SUBLEASE"), a copy of which is

attached to this letter as EXHIBIT A. Subtenant has further requested

Sublandlord's consent to the making of certain alterations in and to the

Premises by or on behalf of Undertenant in order to prepare the Premises for

Undertenant's use and occupancy, which alterations (the "INITIAL ALTERATIONS")

are more particularly described in the plans and specifications listed on

EXHIBIT B hereto.

 

         Sublandlord hereby consents to the further subletting of the Premises

by Subtenant to Undertenant pursuant to the provisions contained in the

Secondary Sublease and the performance of the Initial Alterations, which

consent, however, is granted subject to receipt by Sublandlord of a consent to

both the Secondary Sublease and the Initial Alterations from New Valley

Corporation ("LANDLORD"), the current owner of the building of which the

Premises form a part. In connection therewith, the parties agree to the

following terms, covenants and conditions:

 

         1. Neither the granting of such consents, nor anything contained in

this letter, shall be deemed or construed to:

 

                  (a) modify, waive, impair, or affect any of the covenants,

         agreements, terms, provisions, or conditions contained in the Sublease

         (including, without limitation, the provisions of Paragraph 6 thereof

intention to limit the generality of the foregoing in any respect, the

provisions of Paragraph 11 of the Sublease shall continue to apply to any

assignment of the Sublease and/or any further subletting thereunder, as well as
