If the applicable Governmental Authority requires Landlord to pay the Taxes for a Tax Year in more than one (1) installment, then Tenant shall pay the Tax Payment to Landlord for such Tax Year in a corresponding number of installments. Tenant shall not be required to make a Tax Payment to Landlord (or to pay an installment thereof to Landlord) earlier than the fifteenth (15th) day after the date that Landlord gives Tenant a Tax Statement therefor.

(C) If the Commencement Date occurs later than the first (1st) day of the Tax Year that immediately succeeds the first Tax Year of the Base Tax Period, then the Tax Payment for the Tax Year during which the Commencement Date occurs shall be an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying (X) the Tax Payment that would have been due hereunder if the

 

6


Commencement Date was the first (1st) day of such Tax Year, by (Y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the period beginning on the Commencement Date and ending on the last day of such Tax Year, and the denominator of which is three hundred sixty-five (365) (or three hundred sixty-six (366), if such Tax Year includes the month of February in a leap year).

 

(D) If the Expiration Date is not the last day of a Tax Year, then the Tax Payment for the Tax Year during which the Expiration Date occurs shall be an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying (X) the Tax Payment that would have been due hereunder if the Expiration Date was the last day of such Tax Year, by (Y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the period beginning on the first (1st) day of such Tax Year and ending on the Expiration Date, and the denominator of which is three hundred sixty-five (365) (or three hundred sixty-six (366), if such Tax Year includes the month of February in a leap year).

(F) Tenant shall pay the Tax Payment regardless of whether Tenant is exempt, in whole or part, from the payment of any Taxes by reason of Tenant’s diplomatic status or otherwise.

(H) Landlord’s failure to give to Tenant a Tax Statement for any Tax Year shall not impair Landlord’s right to give to Tenant a Tax Statement for any other Tax Year.

 

(I) Landlord shall give to Tenant a copy of the relevant tax bill for each Tax Year (to the extent that the applicable Governmental Authority has issued such tax bill to Landlord) promptly after Tenant’s request therefore from time to time.

 

  1.12. Tax Reduction Proceedings.

 

(A) Landlord (and not Tenant) shall be eligible to institute proceedings to reduce the Assessed Valuation.

 

(B) If, after a Tax Statement has been sent to Tenant, an Assessed Valuation that Landlord used to compute the Tax Payment for a Tax Year is reduced, and, as a result thereof, a refund of Taxes is actually received by, or credited to, Landlord, then Landlord, promptly after Landlord’s receipt of such refund (or such refund is credited to Landlord, as the case may be), shall send to Tenant a Tax Statement adjusting the Taxes for such Tax Year and setting forth, based on such adjustment, the portion of such refund for which Tenant is entitled a credit as set forth in this Section 1.12(B). Landlord shall credit the portion of such refund to

 

7


which Tenant is entitled against the Rental thereafter coming due hereunder. The portion of such refund to which Tenant is entitled shall be limited to the portion of the Taxes, if any, that Tenant had theretofore paid to Landlord on account of the Tax Payment for the Tax Year to which the refund is applicable on the basis of the Assessed Valuation before it had been reduced. The Tax Payment paid by Tenant for such Tax Year (after taking into account such refund) shall be an amount equal to the Tax Payment that Tenant would have paid hereunder if the Assessed Valuation used in computing Taxes for such Tax Year had reflected initially the aforesaid reduction thereof that yielded such refund. If (x) Tenant is entitled to a credit against Rental pursuant to this Section 1.12(B), and (y) the Expiration Date occurs prior to the date that such credit is exhausted, then Landlord shall pay to Tenant the unused portion of such credit on or prior to the thirtieth (30th) day after the Expiration Date (and Landlord’s obligation to make such payment shall survive the Expiration Date). If (i) Landlord receives such refund (or a credit therefor) after the Expiration Date, and (ii) Tenant is entitled to a portion thereof as contemplated by this Section 1.12(B), then Landlord shall pay to Tenant an amount equal to Tenant’s share of such refund (or such credit) within thirty (30) days after the date that such refund is paid to Landlord (or such refund is credited to Landlord, as the case may be) (and Landlord’s obligation to make such payment shall survive the Expiration Date).

 

(C) If the Assessed Valuation for a Tax Year in the Base Tax Period is reduced at any time after the date that Landlord gives a Tax Statement to Tenant for a Tax Year, then Landlord shall have the right to give to Tenant a revised Tax Statement that recalculates the Tax Payment for a Tax Year (using the Taxes that reflect such reduction in such Assessed Valuation). Tenant shall pay to Landlord an amount equal to the excess of (i) the Tax Payment as reflected on such revised Tax Statement, over (ii) the Tax Payment as reflected on the prior Tax Statement, within thirty (30) days after Landlord gives such revised Tax Statement to Tenant.

(B) The term “Alterations” shall mean alterations, installations, improvements, additions or other physical changes (other than decorations) in each case in or to the Premises that are made by or on behalf of Tenant or any other Person claiming by, through or under Tenant; provided, however, that Alterations shall not include Landlord’s Work.

 

(C) The term “Initial Alterations” shall mean the Alterations to prepare the Premises for Tenant’s initial occupancy.

 

(D) The term “Specialty Alterations” shall mean Alterations that (i) perforate a floor slab in the Premises, (ii) require the reinforcement of a floor slab in the Premises, (iii) consist of the installation of a raised flooring system, (iv) consist of the installation of a vault or other similar device or system that is intended to secure the Premises or a portion thereof in a manner that exceeds the level of security that a reasonable Person uses for ordinary office space, or (v) involve material plumbing connections (such as kitchens and executive bathrooms outside of the Building core) excepting any Specialty Alterations previously existing the demised premises or required under Section “6.2”.

 

(E) The term “Substantial Completion” or words of similar import shall mean that the applicable work has been substantially completed in accordance with the applicable plans and specifications, if any, it being agreed that (i) such work shall be deemed substantially complete notwithstanding the fact that minor or insubstantial details of construction or demolition, mechanical adjustment or decorative items remain to be performed, and (ii) with respect to work that is being performed in the Premises, such work shall be deemed substantially complete only if the incomplete elements thereof do not interfere materially with Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Premises for the conduct of business.

 

(F) The term “Tenant’s Property” shall mean Tenant’s personal property (other than fixtures), including, without limitation, Tenant’s movable fixtures, movable partitions, telephone equipment, furniture, furnishings and decorations.

 

  6.2. Basic Alterations and Minor Alterations.

Nothing contained in this Section 6.3(C) limits the provisions of Section 6.3(B) hereof.

 

(D) Tenant acknowledges that (i) the review of plans or specifications for an Alteration by or on behalf of Landlord, or (ii) the preparation of plans or specifications for an Alteration by Landlord’s architect or engineer (or any architect or engineer designated by Landlord), is solely for Landlord’s benefit, and, accordingly, Landlord makes no representation or warranty that such plans or specifications comply with any Requirements or are otherwise adequate or correct.

 

  6.4. Performance of Alterations.

 

(A) Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, prior to the performance of any Alteration, shall obtain all permits, approvals and certificates required by any Governmental Authorities in connection therewith. Landlord shall have the right to require Tenant to make all filings with Governmental Authorities to obtain such permits, approvals and certificates using an expeditor designated reasonably by Landlord (provided that the charges imposed by such expeditor are commercially reasonable). Upon the request of Tenant, Landlord shall join in any applications for any permits, approvals or certificates required to be obtained by Tenant in connection with any permitted Alteration (provided that the applicable Requirement requires Landlord to join in such application) and shall otherwise cooperate with Tenant in connection therewith. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any reasonable actual out-of-pocket costs, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, that Landlord incurs in so joining in such applications and cooperating with Tenant, within ten days after the date that Landlord gives to Tenant an invoice therefor from time to time.

 

(B) Prior to performing any Alteration, Tenant shall also furnish to Landlord duplicate original policies of, or, at Tenant’s option, certificates of, (1) worker’s compensation insurance in amounts not less than the statutory limits (covering all persons to be employed by Tenant, and Tenant’s contractors and subcontractors, in connection with such Alteration), and (2) commercial general liability insurance (including property damage and bodily injury coverage), in each case in customary form, and in amounts that are not less than Five Million ($5,000,000) Dollars with respect to general contractors and One Million ($1,000,000) Dollars with respect to subcontractors, naming the Landlord Indemnitees as additional insureds; provided, however, that on each anniversary of the Commencement Date, the aforesaid amounts shall be adjusted to reflect the percentage increase in the Consumer Price Index from the Consumer Price Index that is in effect on the Commencement Date.

 

(C) Upon completion of each Alteration, Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, shall (1) obtain certificates of final approval for each Alteration to the extent required by any Governmental Authority, (2) furnish Landlord with copies of such certificates, and (3) give to Landlord copies of the “as-built” plans and specifications for such Alterations in CADD format

 

18


(or, if the applicable Alteration constitutes a Minor Alteration, appropriate record drawings or shop drawings therefor).

 

(D) All Alterations shall be made and performed substantially in accordance with the plans and specifications therefor as approved by Landlord (to the extent such approval of Landlord is required under this Article 6), all Requirements and the Rules. All materials and equipment incorporated in the Premises as a result of any Alterations shall be first-quality.

 

  6.5. Financial Integrity.

 

(A)

 

(1) Tenant shall not permit any materials or equipment that are incorporated as fixtures into the Premises in connection with any Alterations to be subject to any lien, encumbrance, chattel mortgage or title retention or security agreement.

 

(2) Subject to the terms of Section 6.5(A)(3) hereof, Tenant shall not make any Alteration at a cost for labor and materials (as reasonably estimated by Landlord’s architect, engineer or contractor) in excess of Fifty Thousand ($50,000) Dollars, either individually or in the aggregate with any other Alterations constructed in any particular period of twelve (12) consecutive months, prior to Tenant’s delivering to Landlord a performance bond and a payment bond that covers Tenant’s obligation to pay the applicable contractor and the applicable contractor’s obligation to pay its subcontractors (in either case issued by a surety company and in form reasonably satisfactory to Landlord), each in an amount equal to one hundred twenty (120%) percent of such estimated cost; provided, however, that on each anniversary of the Commencement Date, the aforesaid amount of Fifty Thousand ($50,000) Dollars shall be adjusted to reflect the percentage increase in the Consumer Price Index from the Consumer Price Index that is in effect on the Commencement Date.

 

(3) If Tenant is obligated to deliver a performance bond and a payment bond to Landlord as provided in Section 6.5(A)(2) hereof, then Tenant shall have the right to deposit with Landlord an amount in cash equal to the amount of such bonds that is otherwise required by Section 6.5(A)(2) hereof (such amount in cash being referred to herein as the “Work Deposit”). If Tenant deposits the Work Deposit with Landlord, then (i) Tenant shall not have the obligation to deliver to Landlord the performance bond and the payment bond as provided in Section 6.5(A)(2) hereof for the applicable Alteration, and (ii) Landlord shall disburse the Work Deposit (or the applicable portion thereof) to Tenant or Tenant’s designee from time to time, within ten (10) days after Tenant’s request therefor (but in no event more frequently than once during any particular calendar month), provided that Tenant delivers to Landlord, simultaneously with each such disbursement, waivers of lien from all contractors, subcontractors, materialmen, architects, engineers and other Persons who may file a lien against the Real Property for material theretofore supplied, or labor or services theretofore performed, in connection with the applicable Alterations. If any mechanic’s lien is filed against the Real Property for work claimed to have been done for, or for materials claimed to have been furnished to, Tenant (or any Person claiming by, through or under Tenant), then Landlord shall have the right (but not the obligation) to use the Work Deposit to discharge such mechanic’s lien. Nothing contained in this Section 6.5(A)(3) diminishes Tenant’s obligations under Section 6.5(A)(4) hereof. Landlord shall pay to

 

19


 

Tenant any remaining balance of the Work Deposit for a particular Alteration within ten (10) days after the date that (x) Tenant has Substantially Completed the applicable Alteration, and (y) Tenant has delivered to Landlord waivers of lien from all contractors, subcontractors, materialmen, architects, engineers and other Persons who may file a lien against the Real Property in connection with such Alterations.

 

(4) Tenant shall discharge any mechanic’s lien that is filed against the Real Property for work claimed to have been done for, or for materials claimed to have been furnished to, Tenant (or any Person claiming by, through or under Tenant) within ten (10) days after Tenant has received notice thereof, at Tenant’s expense, by payment or filing the bond required by law.

 

(B) Subject to the terms of this Section 6.5(B), within thirty (30) days after the Substantial Completion of any Alterations, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord: (i) waivers of lien from all contractors, subcontractors, materialmen, architects, engineers and other Persons who may file a lien against the Real Property in connection with such Alterations, and (ii) a certificate from a licensed architect that Tenant engages in accordance with the terms of this Article 6 certifying that, in his or her opinion, the Alterations have been completed in accordance with the final detailed plans and specifications for such Alterations as approved by Landlord (to the extent Landlord’s approval was required under this Article 6). Tenant shall not be required to deliver to Landlord any waiver of lien if Tenant is disputing in good faith the payment which would otherwise entitle Tenant to such waiver, provided that (x) Tenant keeps Landlord advised in a timely fashion of the status of such dispute and the basis therefor, and (y) Tenant delivers to Landlord the waiver of lien promptly after the date that the dispute is settled. Nothing contained in this Section 6.5(B), however, shall relieve Tenant from complying with the provisions of Section 6.5(A)(4) hereof.

 

  6.6. Effect on Building.

 

If (i) as a result of any Alterations, any alterations, installations, improvements, additions or other physical changes are required to be performed in or made to any portion of the Building other than the Premises in order to comply with any Requirements (any such alterations, installations, improvements, additions or changes being referred to herein as a “Building Change”), and (ii) such Building Change would not otherwise have had to be performed or made pursuant to applicable Requirements at such time, then (x) Landlord may perform such Building Change, and (y) Tenant shall pay to Landlord the reasonable costs thereof, as additional rent, within thirty (30) days after Landlord gives to Tenant an invoice therefor.

 

  6.7. Time for Performance of Alterations.

 

If the performance of any Alteration by or on behalf of Tenant, or any other Person claiming by, through or under Tenant, during Building Hours interferes with or interrupts the maintenance, repair, management or operation of the Building in any material respect or interferes with or interrupts the use and occupancy of the Building by other tenants in the Building in any material respect, then Landlord shall have the right to require Tenant to perform such Alteration at other times that Landlord reasonably designates from time to time.

  6.8. Removal of Alterations and Tenant’s Property.

 

On or prior to the Expiration Date, Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, shall remove Tenant’s Property from the Premises, and, at Tenant’s option, Tenant also may remove, at Tenant’s expense, all Alterations made by or on behalf of Tenant or any other Person claiming by, through or under Tenant; provided, however, in any case, that Tenant shall repair and restore in a good and workerlike manner to good condition any damage to the Premises or the Building caused by such removal. Landlord, upon notice to Tenant given at least thirty (30) days prior to the Expiration Date, may require Tenant to remove any Specialty Alterations from the Premises, and to repair and restore in a good and workerlike manner to good condition any damage to the Premises or the Building caused by such removal. If (x) the Expiration Date is not the Fixed Expiration Date, and (y) Landlord gives a notice to Tenant on or prior to the thirtieth (30th) day after the Expiration Date to the effect that Landlord does not wish to retain a particular Specialty Alteration, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord the reasonable costs incurred by Landlord in so removing such Specialty Alterations, and in so repairing and restoring any such damage to the Building or the Premises, within thirty (30) days after Landlord submits to Tenant an invoice therefor. Any Alterations that remain in the Premises after the Expiration Date shall be deemed to be the property of Landlord (with the understanding, however, that Tenant shall remain liable to Landlord for any default of Tenant in respect of Tenant’s obligations under this Section 6.8).

 

  6.9. Contractors and Supervision.

 

All Alterations that require Landlord’s consent shall be performed only under the supervision of a licensed architect that is approved by Landlord, which approval Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay. Subject to the provisions of this Section 6.9, Tenant shall perform all Alterations using, at Tenant’s option, either (i) contractors, subcontractors and mechanics that in each case are designated from time to time by Landlord, or (ii) contractors, subcontractors or mechanics that in each case are designated by Tenant and approved by Landlord, which approval Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay. If an Alteration affects a Building System, then (i) Tenant shall engage to perform such Alteration (or the applicable portion thereof that affects such Building System) a contractor from a list of at least three (3) contractors for the applicable trade as designated reasonably by Landlord, and (ii) Tenant shall engage an engineer designated reasonably by Landlord to design such Alteration (or the applicable portion thereof that affects such Building System). Landlord shall give Tenant notice of such contractors and such engineer designated by Landlord promptly after Tenant’s request therefor from time to time.

 

  6.10.  Landlord’s Expenses.

 

Tenant shall pay to Landlord, from time to time, as additional rent, the reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by Landlord in connection with an Alteration (including, without limitation, costs that Landlord incurs in reviewing the plans and specifications for such Alterations, and inspecting the progress of such Alterations), within thirty (30) days after Landlord gives Tenant an invoice therefor.

 

21


  6.11. Pantry.

 

Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay Landlord’s approval of an Alteration consisting of the installation of a pantry in the Premises for the purpose of warming food for the officers, employees and business guests of Tenant (but not for use as a public restaurant). Any vending machines that Tenant installs in the Premises shall have a waterproof pan located thereunder, connected to a drain.

 

  6.12. Window Coverings.

 

Tenant shall install on the windows of the Premises only the curtains, blinds, shades or screens that Landlord approves, which approval Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay (it being understood that Landlord, in considering whether to grant such approval, shall have the right to take into account the impact of Tenant’s proposed installation on the exterior appearance of the Building).

 

  6.13. Air-Cooled HVAC Installations.

 

Tenant shall not have the right to install a supplementary HVAC system for the Premises that requires vents or louvers to be installed on the exterior of the Building.

(C) Landlord, from time to time, shall have the right to change, or reduce the number of, the passenger or freight elevators serving the Premises, provided that such change or reduction does not reduce to a material extent the passenger or freight elevator service standards that the passenger and freight elevators meet on the date hereof.

Landlord, from time to time, shall have the right to interrupt or curtail the level of service provided by the Building Systems to the extent reasonably necessary to accommodate the performance of repairs, additions, alterations, replacements or improvements that in Landlord’s reasonable judgment are desirable or necessary. Landlord shall use Landlord’s diligent efforts to schedule any such interruption or curtailment at times that minimizes, to the extent reasonably practicable, the effect of such interruption or curtailment on Tenant’s ability to conduct its business in the Premises during Tenant’s ordinary business hours. If such interruption or curtailment of the level of service provided by the Building Systems (i) denies Tenant from having reasonable access to the Premises, (ii) threatens the health or safety of any occupant of the Premises, or (iii) materially interferes with Tenant’s ability to conduct its business in the Premises during Tenant’s ordinary business hours, then Landlord shall employ contractors or labor at overtime or premium pay rates to the extent reasonably necessary.

institute any Compliance Challenge if, by reason of Tenant’s delaying its compliance with the applicable Requirement or by reason of the Compliance Challenge, (a) Landlord (or any Landlord Indemnitee) may be imprisoned, (b) the Real Property or any part thereof may be condemned or vacated, or (c) the certificate of occupancy for the Premises or the Building may be suspended. If Landlord or any Landlord Indemnitee may be subject to any civil fines or penalties or other criminal penalties or if Landlord or any Landlord Indemnitee may be liable to any third party in either case by reason of Tenant’s delaying its compliance with the applicable Requirement or by reason of the Compliance Challenge, then Tenant shall furnish to Landlord a bond of a surety company reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, and in an amount equal to one hundred twenty (120%) percent of the sum of (A) the cost of such compliance, (B) the criminal or civil penalties or fines that may accrue by reason of such non-compliance (as reasonably estimated by Landlord), and (C) the amount of such liability to third parties (as reasonably estimated by Landlord). If Tenant initiates any Compliance Challenge, then Tenant shall keep Landlord advised regularly as to the status of such proceedings.

A Successor that is an Affiliate of the Person that constitutes Landlord shall not have the right to include in a Nondisturbance Agreement the Successor Limitation Items, or such other terms and conditions.

 

  11.3.  Attornment.

 

(A) If, at any time prior to the Expiration Date, a Successor succeeds to Landlord’s interest in the Real Property, then Tenant, at the Successor’s election, shall attorn, from time to time, to the Successor, in either case upon the then executory terms of this Lease, for the remainder of the Term. If the Successor is not an Affiliate of the Person that constituted Landlord immediately prior to such Successor’s obtaining an interest in the Premises, then the Successor shall not have liability for the Successor Limitation Items from and after the date that Tenant so attorns to the Successor.

 

(B) The provisions of this Section 11.3 shall apply notwithstanding that, as a matter of law, this Lease terminates upon the termination of any Superior Lease or the foreclosure of a Mortgage. No further instrument shall be required to give effect to Tenant’s attorning to a Successor as contemplated by this Section 11.3. Tenant, however, upon demand of any Successor, shall execute, from time to time, instruments, in a recordable form and in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Successor, confirming the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.3. A Mortgagee, a Lessor, or the Condominium Board shall have the right to include such provisions in a Nondisturbance Agreement.

Tenant acknowledges that any such statement that Tenant delivers to Landlord pursuant to this Section 11.5 may be relied upon by (x) any purchaser or owner of the Real Property or any interest therein (including, without limitation, any Lessor), or (y) any Mortgagee.

 

  11.6.  Landlord’s Estoppel Certificate.

 

Landlord, within ten (10) Business Days after Tenant’s request from time to time (but not more frequently than three (3) times in any particular period of twelve (12) months), shall deliver to Tenant a written statement executed by Landlord (i) stating that this Lease is then in full force and effect and has not been modified (or if this Lease is not in full force and effect, stating the reasons therefor, or if this Lease is modified, setting forth all modifications), (ii) setting forth the date to which the Fixed Rent, the Escalation Rent and any other items of Rental have been paid, (iii) stating whether, to the best knowledge of Landlord (but without having made any investigation), Tenant is in default under this Lease, and, if Tenant is in default, setting forth the specific nature of all such defaults, and (iv) stating any other matters reasonably requested by Tenant and related to this Lease.

32


  11.7.  Rights to Cure Landlord’s Default.

 

If (x) a Superior Lease or Mortgage exists, (y) the Lessor or Mortgagee is not an Affiliate of Landlord, and (z) Landlord gives Tenant notice thereof, then Tenant shall not seek to terminate this Lease by reason of Landlord’s default hereunder until Tenant has given written notice of such default to such Lessor or such Mortgagee in either case at the address that has been furnished to Tenant. If any such Lessor or Mortgagee notifies Tenant, within ten (10) Business Days after the date that such Lessor or Mortgagee receives such notice from Tenant, that such Lessor or Mortgagee intends to remedy such act or omission of Landlord, then Tenant shall not have the right to so terminate this Lease unless such Lessor or Mortgagee fails to remedy such act or omission of Landlord within a reasonable period of time after the date that such Lessor or Mortgagee gives such notice to Tenant (it being understood that such Lessor or Mortgagee shall not have any liability to Tenant for the failure of such Lessor or Mortgagee to so remedy such act or omission of Landlord during such period).

 

  11.8.  Zoning Lot Merger Agreement.

 

Tenant hereby waives irrevocably any rights that Tenant may have in connection with any zoning lot merger or transfer of development rights with respect to the Real Property, including, without limitation, any rights that Tenant may have to be a party to, to contest, or to execute any Declaration of Restrictions (as such term is used in Section 12-10 of the Zoning Resolution of The City of New York effective December 15, 1961, as amended) with respect to the Real Property, which would cause the Premises to be merged with or unmerged from any other zoning lot pursuant to such Zoning Resolution or to any document of a similar nature and purpose. Tenant agrees that this Lease shall be subject and subordinate to any Declaration of Restrictions or any other document of similar nature and purpose now or hereafter affecting the Real Property (it being understood, however, that Landlord shall not permit such Declaration of Restrictions or any such other document to impair Tenant’s rights hereunder, or expand Tenant’s obligations hereunder, except, in either case, to a de minimis extent). In confirmation of such subordination and waiver, Tenant, from time to time, shall execute and deliver promptly any certificate or instrument that Landlord reasonably requests.

 

  11.9.  Existing Mortgages and Existing Superior Leases.

 

Landlord hereby represents and warrants to Tenant that there is an existing Mortgage and no Superior Leases that exist as of the date hereof.

33


collectively referred to herein as “Tenant’s Statements”). Tenant shall cause Tenant Statements to be prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied, and to be accompanied by an unqualified opinion of a certified public accountant.

Article 12

INSURANCE

 

  12.1.  Tenant’s Insurance.

 

(A) Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, shall obtain and keep in full force and effect (i) an insurance policy for Tenant’s Property and the Specialty Alterations, in either case to the extent insurable under the available standard forms of “all-risk” insurance policies, in an amount equal to one hundred (100%) percent of the replacement value thereof (subject, however, at Tenant’s option, to a reasonable deductible) (the insurance policy described in this clause (i) being referred to herein as “Tenant’s Property Policy”), and (ii) a policy of commercial general liability and property damage insurance on an occurrence basis, with a broad form contractual liability endorsement (the insurance policy described in this clause (ii) being referred to herein as “Tenant’s Liability Policy”). Tenant’s Property Policy and Tenant’s Liability Policy shall name Tenant as the insured. The Landlord Indemnitees shall be named as additional insureds on Tenant’s Liability Policy.

 

(B) Tenant’s Liability Policy shall contain a provision that (a) no act or omission of Tenant shall affect or limit the obligation of the insurer to pay the amount of any loss sustained, and (b) the policy is non-cancelable with respect to the Landlord Indemnitees unless at least thirty (30) days of advance written notice is given to Landlord, except that Tenant’s Liability Policy may be cancelable on no less than ten (10) days of advance written notice to Landlord for non-payment of premium. If Tenant receives any notice of cancellation or any other notice from the insurance carrier which may adversely affect the coverage of the insureds under Tenant’s Property Policy or Tenant’s Liability Policy, then Tenant shall immediately deliver to Landlord a copy of such notice. The minimum amounts of liability under Tenant’s Liability Policy shall be a combined single limit with respect to each occurrence in the amount of Five Million ($5,000,000) Dollars for injury (or death) to persons and damage to property, which minimum amount Landlord may increase from time to time to the amount of insurance that in Landlord’s reasonable judgment is then being customarily required by prudent landlords of

 

34


first- class buildings in the vicinity of the Building from tenants leasing space similar in size, nature and location to the Premises.

 

(C) Tenant shall cause Tenant’s Liability Policy to be issued by reputable and independent insurers that are (x) permitted to do business in the State of New York, and (y) rated in Best’s Insurance Guide, or any successor thereto, as having a general policyholder rating of A and a financial rating of at least XIII (it being understood that if such ratings are no longer issued, then such insurer’s financial integrity shall conform to the standards that constitute such ratings from Best’s Insurance Guide as of the date hereof).

 

(D) Tenant has the right to satisfy Tenant’s obligation to carry Tenant’s Liability Policy with an umbrella insurance policy if such umbrella insurance policy contains an aggregate per location endorsement that provides the required level of protection for the Premises. Tenant has the right to satisfy Tenant’s obligation to carry Tenant’s Property Policy with a blanket insurance policy if such blanket insurance policy provides, on a per occurrence basis, that a loss that relates to any other location does not impair or reduce the level of protection available for the Premises below the amount required by this Lease.

 

  12.2.  Landlord’s Insurance.

 

(A) Subject to the terms of this Section 12.2, Landlord shall obtain and keep in full force and effect insurance against loss or damage by fire and other casualty to the Building, to the extent insurable on commercially reasonable terms under then available standard forms of “all-risk” insurance policies, in an amount equal to one hundred (100%) percent of the replacement value thereof or, at Landlord’s option, in such lesser amount as will avoid co-insurance (such insurance being referred to herein as “Landlord’s Property Policy”). Tenant acknowledges that (i) Landlord’s Property Policy may encompass rent insurance, and (ii) the risks that Landlord’s Property Policy covers may include, without limitation, fire, war, terrorism, environmental matters, and flood.

 

(B) Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any failure to insure any Alterations unless Tenant notifies Landlord of the completion of such Alterations and the cost thereof, and maintains adequate records with respect to such Alterations to facilitate the adjustment of any insurance claims with respect thereto. Landlord shall have the right to provide that the coverage of Landlord’s Property Policy is subject to a reasonable deductible. Tenant shall cooperate with Landlord and Landlord’s insurance companies in the adjustment of any claims for any damage to the Building or the Alterations. Landlord shall not be required to carry insurance on Tenant’s Property or the Specialty Alterations. Landlord shall not be required to carry insurance against, or be responsible for, any loss suffered by Tenant due to the interruption of Tenant’s business.

 

  12.3.  Mutual Waiver of Subrogation.

 

(A) Subject to the provisions of this Section 12.3, Landlord and Tenant shall each obtain an appropriate clause in, or endorsement on, Landlord’s Property Policy or Tenant’s Property Policy (as the case may be) pursuant to which the insurance companies waive subrogation or consent to a waiver of right of recovery. Landlord and Tenant also agree that,

 

35


having obtained such clauses or endorsements of waiver of subrogation or consent to a waiver of right of recovery, they shall not make any claim against or seek to recover from the Landlord Indemnitees or the Tenant Indemnitees (as the case may be) for any loss or damage to its property or the property of others resulting from fire or other hazards covered by Landlord’s Property Policy or Tenant’s Property Policy (as the case may be); provided, however, that the release, discharge, exoneration and covenant not to sue herein contained shall be limited by and be coextensive with the terms and provisions of the waiver of subrogation clause or endorsements or clauses or endorsements consenting to a waiver of right of recovery.

 

(B) If the payment of an additional premium is required for the inclusion of a waiver of subrogation provision as described in Section 12.3(A) hereof, then each party shall advise the other party of the amount of any such additional premiums and the other party at its own election may, but shall not be obligated to, pay such additional premium. If (x) Tenant is the party that elects to pay such additional premium to include such a waiver in Landlord’s Property Policy, and (y) other tenants in the Building make concurrently a similar election, then the aforesaid amount that Tenant is obligated to pay to Landlord on account of such additional premium shall be only the portion thereof that Landlord allocates equitably to Tenant. If such other party does not elect to pay such additional premium, then the party whose insurer is charging the additional premium shall not be required to obtain such waiver of subrogation provision.

 

(C) If either party is unable to obtain the inclusion of such waiver of subrogation provision even with the payment of an additional premium, then such party shall attempt to name the other party as an additional insured (but not a loss payee) under the applicable insurance policy. If the payment of an additional premium is required for naming the other party as an additional insured (but not a loss payee), then such party shall advise the other of the amount of any such additional premium and the other party at its own election may, but shall not be obligated to, pay such additional premium. If (x) Tenant is the party that elects to pay such additional premium to name Tenant as an additional insurred (but not as loss payee), and (y) other tenants in the Building make concurrently a similar election, then the aforesaid amount that Tenant is obligated to pay to Landlord on account of such additional premium shall be only the portion thereof that Landlord allocates equitably to Tenant. If such other party does not elect to pay such additional premium or if it is not possible to have the other party named as an additional insured (but not loss payee), even with the payment of an additional premium, then (in either event) the party whose insurer refuses to include such waiver of subrogation provision shall so notify the other party and such party shall not have the obligation to name the other party as an additional insured.

 

  12.4.  Evidence of Insurance.

 

On or prior to the Commencement Date, each party shall deliver to the other party appropriate certificates of insurance required to be carried by the parties pursuant to this Article 12, including evidence of waivers of subrogation and naming of additional insureds in either case as required by Section 12.3 hereof. Each party shall deliver to the other party evidence of each renewal or replacement of a policy at least twenty (20) days prior to the expiration of such policy.

 

36


  12.5.  No Concurrent Insurance.

 

Tenant shall not obtain any property insurance (under Tenant’s Property Policy or otherwise) that covers the property that is covered by Landlord’s Property Policy.

 

  12.6.  Tenant’s Obligation to Comply with Landlord’s Fire and Casualty Insurance.

 

If (i) Tenant (or any other Person claiming by, through or under Tenant) uses the Premises for any purpose other than general office use, and (ii) the use of the Premises by Tenant (or such other Person) causes the premium for Landlord’s Property Policy to exceed the premium that would have otherwise applied therefor if Tenant (or such Person) used the Premises for general office purposes, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as additional rent, an amount equal to such excess, on or prior to the thirtieth (30th) day after the date that Landlord gives to Tenant an invoice therefor. Nothing contained in this Section 12.6 expands Tenant’s rights under Article 2 hereof.

 

Article 13

CASUALTY

 

  13.1.  Notice.

 

Tenant shall notify Landlord promptly of any fire or other casualty that occurs in the Premises.

 

  13.2.  Landlord’s Restoration Obligations.

 

Subject to the terms of this Section 13.2, Landlord, with reasonable diligence, shall repair the damage to the Premises (including, without limitation, the Alterations) to the extent caused by fire or other casualty. The restoration work to be performed by Landlord shall include, without limitation, any portion of Landlord’s Work that Landlord did not Substantially Complete on the date that the fire or other casualty occurred. Landlord shall commence the performance of such repairs as promptly as reasonably practicable after the occurrence of such fire or other casualty. Landlord shall not be required to restore Tenant’s Property or the Specialty Alterations. Landlord shall not be required to commence such restoration until Tenant gives Landlord the notice described in Section 13.1 hereof (unless Landlord otherwise has received actual notice of the fire or other casualty). Landlord shall not be obligated to restore any Alterations unless (i) Tenant has Substantially Completed the performance thereof, (ii) Tenant has given Landlord notice to the effect that Tenant has Substantially Completed such Alterations, (iii) Tenant has given Landlord notice of the cost incurred by Tenant in performing such Alterations, and (iv) Tenant has maintained records with respect to such Alterations in a form that allows Landlord to make a full insurance recovery therefor under Landlord’s Property Policy. If (x) Tenant, as part of the Initial Alterations, demolishes all or a material part of the interior installation that exists in the Premises on the Commencement Date, and (y) the Premises (including any Alterations) is damaged by fire or other casualty at any time prior to the date that Tenant Substantially Completes the Initial Alterations therein, then Landlord’s obligation to repair the Premises (and any Alterations) shall be limited to (w) the performance of Landlord’s Work (to the extent that the performance of Landlord’s Work remains feasible after such fire or other casualty), (x) the

 

37


part of the Building Systems serving the Premises on the Commencement Date, but not the distribution portions of such Building Systems located within the Premises, (y) the floor and ceiling slabs of the Premises, and (z) the exterior walls of the Premises, all to substantially the same condition that existed on the Commencement Date. Landlord shall have the right to adapt the restoration of the Premises as contemplated by this Section 13.2 to comply with applicable Requirements that are then in effect. Landlord shall not be obligated to restore the Premises as provided in this Section 13.2 to the extent that this Lease terminates by reason of such fire or other casualty as provided in this Article 13.

 

  13.3.  Rent Abatement.

 

(A) The Fixed Rent and the Escalation Rent that is otherwise due and payable hereunder shall be reduced in the proportion that the number of square feet of Rentable Area of the part of the Premises that is not usable by Tenant by reason of such fire or other casualty bears to the total Rentable Area of the Premises immediately prior to such fire or other casualty, for the period commencing on the date of such fire or other casualty and ending on the date that Landlord Substantially Completes the restoration described in Section 13.2 hereof.

 

  13.4.  Landlord’s Termination Right.

 

If the Building is so damaged by fire or other casualty that, in Landlord’s opinion, substantial alteration, demolition, or reconstruction of the Building is required (regardless of whether the Premises have been damaged or rendered untenantable), then Landlord may terminate this Lease by giving Tenant notice thereof on or prior to the ninetieth (90th) day after such fire or other casualty; provided, however, that if the Premises are not substantially damaged or rendered substantially untenantable by such fire or other casualty, then Landlord may not so terminate this Lease unless Landlord elects to terminate leases (including this Lease) affecting at least fifty (50%) percent of the leasable area of the Building (excluding any portion of the Building leased to or occupied by Landlord or Landlord’s Affiliates). Landlord also shall have the right to terminate this Lease if the owners of the condominium established by the Condominium Declaration do not make the election contemplated by Section 339-ee of the New York Real Property Law to restore the Building after a fire or other casualty (to the extent that such election is required to be made by such unit owners). If Landlord elects to terminate this Lease as aforesaid, then (I) the Term shall expire on a date set by Landlord that is not sooner than (i) the tenth (10th) day after the date that Landlord gives such notice (if all or substantially all of the Premises is rendered untenantable by such fire or other casualty), and (ii) ninetieth (90th) day after the date that Landlord gives such notice (if less than all or substantially all of the Premises is rendered untenantable by such fire or other casualty), and (II) Tenant, on such date set by Landlord, shall vacate the Premises and surrender the Premises to Landlord in accordance with the terms of this Lease that govern Tenant’s obligations upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Term. Upon the termination of this Lease under this Section 13.4, the Rental shall be apportioned and any prepaid portion of the Rental for any period after the date that the abatement of Rental as described in Section 13.3 hereof becomes effective shall be refunded promptly by Landlord to Tenant (and Landlord’s obligation to make such refund shall survive the Expiration Date).

  13.5.  Tenant’s Termination Right.

 

(A) Landlord, within forty five days after the earlier to occur of (x) the date that Tenant gives Landlord notice of the occurrence of a fire or other casualty as contemplated by Section 13.1 hereof, and (y) the date that Landlord otherwise has actual notice of such fire or other casualty, shall give to Tenant a statement prepared by a reputable and independent contractor setting forth such contractor’s estimate in good faith as to the time required for Landlord to Substantially Complete the restoration described in Section 13.2 hereof (such statement that Landlord gives to Tenant being referred to herein as the “Casualty Statement“). If the estimated time period exceeds twelve (12) months from the date of the applicable fire or other casualty, then Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease by giving notice to Landlord not later than the thirtieth (30th) day after the date that Landlord gives the Casualty Statement to Tenant.

 

(B) This Lease shall terminate if (i) a fire or other casualty occurs, and, by reason thereof, Landlord has an obligation to perform a restoration as contemplated by Section 13.2 hereof, (ii) Tenant does not exercise Tenant’s right to terminate this Lease under Section 13.5(A) hereof in connection with such fire or other casualty (or Tenant does not have the right to terminate this Lease under Section 13.5(A) hereof in connection with such fire or other casualty), (iii) Landlord fails to Substantially Complete the performance of the restoration work that Landlord is required to perform on or prior to the later to occur of (I) twelve (12) months after the date of the applicable fire or other casualty, and (II) the date that is sixty (60) days after the last day of the estimated time period set forth in the Casualty Statement (the later of the dates described in clause (I) and clause (II) above being referred to herein as the “Second Bite Date”), (iv) Tenant gives Landlord notice to the effect that this Lease will terminate under this Section 13.5(B) if Landlord fails to Substantially Complete the restoration within sixty (60) days after the Second Bite Date (such notice given by Tenant to Landlord being referred to herein as the “Second Bite Notice”), and (v) Landlord fails to Substantially Complete the restoration within sixty (60) days after the Second Bite Date.

 

(C) If Tenant makes any such election to terminate this Lease pursuant to this Section 13.5, then (I) the Term shall expire on the thirtieth (30th) day after notice of such election is given by Tenant, and Tenant shall vacate the Premises and surrender the Premises to Landlord on such date “as is” and otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Lease that govern Tenant’s obligations upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, (II) any Rental due hereunder shall be apportioned as of the date of such termination, and (III) any portion of the Rental that is then prepaid by Tenant and relates to the period after the date that the abatement of Rental as described in Section 13.3 hereof becomes effective shall be promptly refunded by Landlord to Tenant (with the understanding that Landlord’s obligation to make any such refund shall survive such termination of this Lease) and Landlord shall return any security deposit. .

 

  13.6.  Termination Rights at End of Term.

 

If the Premises are substantially damaged by a fire or other casualty that occurs during the period of one (1) year immediately preceding the Fixed Expiration Date, then either Landlord or Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease by notice given to the other party within thirty (30) days after such fire or other casualty occurs. If either party makes such election, then the Term

 

39


shall expire on the thirtieth (30th) day after the notice of such election is given, and, accordingly, Tenant, on or prior to such thirtieth (30th) day, shall vacate the Premises and surrender the Premises to Landlord in accordance with the provisions of that govern Tenant’s obligation to deliver vacant and exclusive possession of the Premises to Landlord upon the expiration of the Term. Upon the termination of this Lease under this Section 13.6, the Rental shall be apportioned and any prepaid portion of the Rental for any period after the Expiration Date shall be refunded promptly by Landlord to Tenant (and Landlord’s obligation to make such refund shall survive the Expiration Date). For purposes of this Section 13.6, the term “substantially damaged” shall mean that: (a) a fire or other casualty precludes Tenant from using more than fifty (50%) percent of the Premises for the conduct of its business, and (b) Tenant’s inability to so use the Premises (or the applicable portion thereof) is reasonably expected to continue until at least the earlier to occur of (i) the Fixed Expiration Date, and (ii) the one hundred twentieth (120th) day after the date that such fire or other casualty occurs.

 

  13.7.  No Other Termination Rights.

 

Tenant shall have no right to cancel this Lease by virtue of a fire or other casualty except to the extent specifically set forth herein. This Article 13 is intended to constitute an “express agreement to the contrary” for purposes of Section 227 of the New York Real Property Law.

 

Article 14

CONDEMNATION

 

  14.1.  Effect of Condemnation.

 

(A) Subject to the provisions of Section 14.2 hereof, if the entire Real Property, the entire Building or the entire Premises is condemned or otherwise acquired by the exercise of the power of eminent domain, then this Lease shall terminate as of the date that such condemnation or acquisition is consummated.

 

(B) If only a part of the Real Property and not the entire Premises is so acquired or condemned, then:

 

(1) except as hereinafter provided in this Section 14.1, this Lease shall remain effective, and, from and after the date that the condemnation or acquisition is consummated, (w) the Fixed Rent shall be reduced in the proportion that the number of square feet of Rentable Area of the part of the Premises so acquired or condemned bears to the total Rentable Area of the Premises immediately prior to such acquisition or condemnation, (x) Tenant’s Tax Share shall be redetermined based upon the proportion that the number of square feet of Rentable Area of the Premises that is remaining after such acquisition or condemnation bears to the number of square feet of Rentable Area of the Building that is remaining after such acquisition or condemnation, and (y) Tenant’s Operating Expense Share shall be redetermined based upon the proportion that the number of square feet of Rentable Area of the Premises remaining after such acquisition or condemnation bears to the number of square feet of Rentable Area of the Building remaining after such acquisition or condemnation (other than any retail portion of the Building);

 

40


(2) on or prior to the sixtieth (60th) day after the date that the condemnation or acquisition is consummated, Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease by giving notice to Tenant; provided, however, that if the Premises are unaffected by such acquisition or condemnation, then Landlord shall only have the right to so terminate this Lease if Landlord terminates leases (including this Lease) for at least fifty (50 %) percent of the leasable area of the Building (excluding any portion of the Building leased to or occupied by Landlord or Landlord’s Affiliates); and

 

(3) if (a) the part of the Real Property so acquired or condemned contains more than fifteen (15%) percent of the total area of the Premises immediately prior to such acquisition or condemnation, or (b) by reason of such acquisition or condemnation, Tenant no longer has reasonable means of access to the Premises, then Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease by giving notice to Landlord on or prior to the sixtieth (60th) day after the date that Tenant is given notice of such acquisition or condemnation being consummated.

 

The Term shall expire on the thirtieth (30th) day after the date that Landlord or Tenant give any such notice to terminate this Lease.

 

(C) Upon the termination of this Lease and the Term pursuant to the provisions of this Section 14.1, the Rental shall be apportioned and any prepaid portion of the Rental for any period after such date shall be refunded promptly by Landlord to Tenant (and Landlord’s obligation to make such refund shall survive the Expiration Date).

 

(D) If a part of the Premises is so acquired or condemned and this Lease and the Term is not terminated pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 14.1, then Landlord, at Landlord’s expense, shall restore the part of the Premises that is not so acquired or condemned to a self-contained rental unit inclusive of Alterations that Tenant has therefore Substantially Completed, except that if such acquisition or condemnation occurs prior to the Substantial Completion of the Initial Alterations, then Landlord shall only be required to restore the part of the Premises not so acquired or condemned to a self-contained rental unit exclusive of any Alterations.

 

  14.2. Condemnation Award.

 

Subject to Section 14.3 hereof, Landlord shall be entitled to receive the entire award for any such acquisition or condemnation of all or any part of the Real Property. Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord or the condemning authority for the value of any unexpired portion of the Term, and, accordingly, Tenant hereby expressly assigns to Landlord all of its right in and to any such award. Nothing contained in this Section 14.2 shall be deemed to prevent Tenant from making a separate claim in any condemnation proceedings for the then value of any Tenant’s Property included in such taking, for any moving expenses or for the costs incurred by Tenant in performing the Initial Alterations (prior to Tenant’s Substantial Completion thereof) in the portion of the Premises that is not so condemned or acquired.

 

  14.3. Temporary Taking.

 

If the whole or any part of the Premises is acquired or condemned temporarily during the Term, then (a) Tenant shall give prompt notice thereof to Landlord, (b) the Term shall not be

 

41


reduced or affected in any way, (c) Tenant shall continue to pay in full all items of Rental payable by Tenant hereunder without reduction or abatement, and (d) Tenant shall be entitled to receive for itself any award or payments for such use, provided, however, that if the acquisition or condemnation is for a period extending beyond the Term, then such award or payment shall be apportioned equitably between Landlord and Tenant. Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, shall make Alterations to restore the Premises to the condition existing prior to any such temporary acquisition or condemnation.

(A) Subject to the terms of this Article 15, without the prior consent of Landlord in each instance, Tenant shall not, and Tenant shall not permit any other Permitted Party to, consummate a Transfer. The term “Transfer” shall mean:

 

(1) (a) an assignment of a Permitted Party’s rights under, or a delegation of such Permitted Party’s duties under, the applicable Occupancy Agreement by express assignment or by operation of law or by other means, (b) a mortgage or other encumbrance of such Permitted Party’s interest in the applicable Occupancy Agreement, in whole or in part, (c) a subletting, or further subletting, of the Premises or any part thereof, or (d) the occupancy of the Premises or any part thereof by any Person other than such Permitted Party; and

 

(2) any transaction that modifies or supplements (or further modifies or supplements) an Occupancy Agreement to decrease the rental that is payable thereunder, change the premises that is demised thereby, or to change the term thereof, in either case in any material respect (it being understood that such modification or supplement shall be treated for purposes hereof as a transaction on the terms of such Occupancy Agreement, as so modified or supplemented, for the balance of the term thereof).

 

(B) The term “Occupancy Agreement” shall mean the lease, sublease, license or other agreement pursuant to which a Permitted Party has the right to occupy the Premises (or the applicable portion thereof).

 

(C) The term “Permitted Party” shall mean Tenant and any other Person that has the right to occupy the Premises (or any part thereof) in accordance with the terms of this Article 15 (other than a Person that has the right to occupy the Premises (or the applicable part thereof) by virtue of Landlord’s exercising Landlord’s rights under Section 15.3 hereof).

 

(D) Subject to Section 15.7 hereof, the transfer of Control in a Permitted Party, however accomplished, whether in a single transaction or in a series of unrelated or related transactions, shall constitute an assignment of such Permitted Party’s interest in the applicable Occupancy Agreement for purposes of this Article 15.

 

42


(E) The consent by Landlord to any Transfer shall not relieve Tenant from its obligation to obtain the prior consent of Landlord to any other Transfer to the extent required by this Lease.

 

(F) The assignment by any Person that constitutes Tenant of the tenant’s interest under this Lease shall not relieve such Person of the obligations of the tenant under this Lease. Such Person’s liability under this Lease shall continue notwithstanding (x) the subsequent release of any other Person that constitutes Tenant from liability under this Lease, (y) any limitation on any such other Person’s liability hereunder by virtue of the Bankruptcy Code, or (z) any modification or amendment of this Lease that Landlord consummates with any such other Person that constitutes Tenant subsequently; provided, however, that if such other Person is not an Affiliate of such Person, then any such modification or amendment shall not expand such Person’s liability hereunder.

 

(G) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Tenant shall not, and Tenant shall not permit any other Permitted Party to, (i) enter into any lease, sublease, license, concession or other agreement for use or occupancy of the Premises or any portion thereof which provides for a rental or other payment for such use or occupancy based in whole or in part on the net income or profits derived by any Person from the property leased, occupied or used, or which would require the payment of any consideration that would not qualify as “rents from real property,” as that term is defined in Section 856(d) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or (ii) permit the Premises, or any portion thereof, to be used or occupied by or for the benefit of any Person that the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the United States Department of the Treasury has listed on its list of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons.

 

(H) If Tenant assigns the tenant’s interest under this Lease in violation of the terms of this Article 15, then such assignment shall be void and of no force and effect against Landlord; provided, however, that Landlord (x) may collect an amount equal to the then Rental from the assignee as a fee for such assignee’s use and occupancy, and (y) shall apply the net amount collected to the Rental reserved in this Lease. If the Premises or any part thereof are sublet to, occupied by, or used by any Person other than Tenant (regardless of whether such subletting, occupancy or use violates this Article 15), then Landlord (a) after the occurrence of an Event of Default, may collect amounts from the subtenant, user or occupant as a fee for its use and occupancy, and (b) shall apply the net amount collected to the Rental reserved in this Lease. No such assignment, subletting, occupancy or use, with or without Landlord’s prior consent, nor any such collection or application of fees for use and occupancy, shall (i) be deemed a waiver by Landlord of any term, covenant or condition of this Lease, (ii) be deemed the acceptance by Landlord of such assignee, subtenant, occupant or user as tenant hereunder, or (iii) relieve Tenant of the obligations of the tenant under this Lease.

 

  15.2. Landlord’s Expenses.

 

Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any reasonable costs that Landlord incurs in connection with any proposed Transfer, including, without limitation, a reasonable processing fee, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements and the actual, reasonable costs of making investigations as to the acceptability of the proposed Transferee, within thirty (30) days after

(D) The term “Recapture Date” shall mean the thirtieth (30th) day after the date that Tenant gives the Transfer Notice to Landlord; provided, however, that if (i) Tenant has theretofore received a bona fide written offer that then remains effective from a prospective Transferee pursuant to which such prospective Transferee proposes to enter into the applicable Transfer on terms that are no less favorable to Tenant than the Proposed Transfer Terms, (ii) Tenant gives to Landlord a copy of such written offer (either simultaneously with the Transfer Notice or any time thereafter until the thirtieth(30th) day after the date that Tenant gives the Transfer Notice to Landlord), and (iii) Tenant notifies Landlord that Tenant intends to accelerate the Recapture Date as provided in this Section 15.3(D), then the Recapture Date shall be the earlier to occur of (I) the thirtieth (30th) day after the date that Tenant gives the Transfer Notice to Landlord, and (II) the tenth(10th) day after the date that Tenant gives to Landlord a copy of such written offer and such notice.

54


shall quit and surrender the Premises, but Tenant shall nonetheless remain liable for all of its obligations hereunder, as provided in Article 20 hereof and Article 21 hereof.

 

Article 19

TENANT’S INSOLVENCY

 

  19.1.  Assignments pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code.

 

(A) The term “Bankruptcy Code” shall mean 11 U.S.C. Section 101 et seq., or any statute of similar nature and purpose.

 

(B) If Tenant proposes to assign the tenant’s interest hereunder pursuant to the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code to any Person that has made a bona fide offer to accept an assignment of the tenant’s interest under this Lease on terms acceptable to Tenant, then Tenant shall give to Landlord notice of such proposed assignment no later than twenty (20) days after the date that Tenant receives such offer, but in any event no later than ten (10) days before the date that Tenant makes application to a court of competent jurisdiction for authority and approval to consummate such assignment. Such notice given by Tenant to Landlord shall (a) set forth the name and address of such Person that has made such bona fide offer, (b) set forth all of the terms and conditions of such bona fide offer, and (c) confirm that such Person will provide to Landlord adequate assurance of future performance that conforms with the terms of Section 19.1(C) hereof. Landlord shall have the right 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 Person (less any brokerage commissions that would otherwise be payable by Tenant out of the consideration to be paid by such Person in connection with such assignment of the tenant’s interest under this Lease), by giving notice thereof to Tenant at any time prior to the effective date of such proposed assignment.

 

(C) A Person that submits a bona fide offer to take by assignment the tenant’s interest under this Lease as described in Section 19.1(B) hereof shall be deemed to have provided Landlord with adequate assurance of future performance only if such Person (a) deposits with Landlord simultaneously with such assignee’s taking by assignment the tenant’s interest under this Lease an amount equal to the then annual Fixed Rent, as security for the faithful performance and observance by such assignee of the tenant’s obligations of this Lease (and such Person gives to Landlord, at least five (5) days prior to the date that the proposed assignment becomes effective, information reasonably satisfactory to Landlord that indicates that such Person has the ability to post such deposit), (b) gives to Landlord, at least five (5) days prior to the date that the proposed assignment becomes effective, such Person’s financial statements, audited by a certified public accountant in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied, for the three (3) fiscal years that immediately precede such assignment, that indicate that such Person has a tangible net worth of at least ten (10) times the then annual Fixed Rent for each of such three (3) years, and (c) gives to Landlord, at least five (5) days prior to the date that the proposed assignment becomes effective, such other information or takes such action that in either case Landlord, in its reasonable judgment, determines is necessary to provide adequate assurance of the performance by such assignee of the obligations of the tenant under this Lease; provided, however, that in no event shall such

 

55


adequate assurance of future performance be less favorable to Landlord than the assurance contemplated by Section 365(b)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code (notwithstanding that this Lease may be construed as a lease of real property in a shopping center).

 

(D) If Tenant’s interest under this Lease is assigned to any Person pursuant to the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, then any such assignee shall (x) be deemed without further act or deed to have assumed all the obligations of the tenant arising under this Lease from and after the date of such assignment, and (y) execute and deliver to Landlord upon demand an instrument confirming such assumption.

 

(E) Nothing contained in this Article 19 limits Landlord’s rights against Tenant under Article 15 hereof.

 

  19.2.  Replacement Lease.

 

If (i) Tenant is not the Person that constituted Tenant initially, and (ii) either (I) this Lease is disaffirmed or rejected pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code, or (II) this Lease terminates by reason of occurrence of an Insolvency Event, then, subject to the terms of this Section 19.2, the Persons that constituted Tenant hereunder previously, including, without limitation, the Person that constituted Tenant initially (each such Person that previously constituted Tenant hereunder (but does not then constitute Tenant hereunder), and with respect to which Landlord exercises Landlord’s rights under this Section 19.2, being referred to herein as a “Predecessor Tenant”) shall (1) pay to Landlord the aggregate Rental that is then due and owing by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease to and including the date of such disaffirmance, rejection or termination, and (2) enter into a new lease, between Landlord, as landlord, and the Predecessor Tenant, as tenant, for the Premises, and for a term commencing on the effective date of such disaffirmance, rejection or termination and ending on the Fixed Expiration Date, at the same Fixed Rent and upon the then executory terms that are contained in this Lease, except that (a) the Predecessor Tenant’s rights under the new lease shall be subject to the possessory rights of Tenant under this Lease and the possessory rights of any Person claiming by, through or under Tenant or by virtue of any statute or of any order of any court, and (b) such new lease shall require all defaults existing under this Lease to be cured by the Predecessor Tenant with reasonable diligence. Landlord shall have the right to require the Predecessor Tenant to execute and deliver such new lease on the terms set forth in this Section 19.2 only by giving notice thereof to Tenant within thirty (30) days after Landlord receives notice of any such disaffirmance or rejection (or, if this Lease terminates by reason of Landlord making an election to do so, then Landlord may exercise such right only by giving such notice to Tenant within thirty (30) days after this Lease so terminates). If the Predecessor Tenant defaults in its obligation to enter into said new lease for a period of ten (10) days following Landlord’s request therefor, then, in addition to all other rights and remedies by reason of such default, either at law or in equity, Landlord shall have the same rights and remedies against such Predecessor Tenant as if such Predecessor Tenant had entered into such new lease and such new lease had thereafter been terminated as of the commencement date thereof by reason of such Predecessor Tenant’s default thereunder.

 

56

(D) any case, proceeding or other action is commenced or instituted against a Tenant Obligor seeking issuance of a warrant of attachment, execution, distraint or similar process against all or any substantial part of its property which results in the entry of an order for any such relief which is not vacated, discharged, or stayed or bonded pending appeal within sixty (60) days from the entry thereof; or

 

(E) a Tenant Obligor takes any action in furtherance of, or indicating its consent to, approval of, or acquiescence in, any of the acts set forth in clauses (A), (B), (C), or (D) above; or

 

(F) a trustee, receiver or other custodian is appointed for any substantial part of a Tenant Obligor’s assets, and such appointment is not vacated or stayed within fifteen (15) Business Days (the events described in this Section 19.3 being collectively referred to herein as “Insolvency Events”).

 

The term “Tenant Obligor” shall mean (a) Tenant, (b) any Person that comprises Tenant (if Tenant is comprised of more than one (1) Person), (c) any partner in Tenant (if Tenant is a general partnership), (d) any general partner in Tenant (if Tenant is a limited partnership), (e) any Person that has guarantied all or any part of the obligations of Tenant hereunder (if such Person is an Affiliate of Tenant), and (f) any Person that (x) preceded Tenant as the tenant hereunder, and (y) is an Affiliate of Tenant. If this Lease terminates pursuant to this Section

 

57


19.3, then (I) Tenant immediately shall quit and surrender the Premises, and (II) Tenant shall nonetheless remain liable for all of its obligations hereunder, as provided in Article 20 hereof and Article 21 hereof.

 

  19.4.  Effect of Stay.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if (i) Landlord’s right to terminate this Lease after the occurrence of an Event of Default, or the termination of this Lease upon the occurrence of an Insolvency Event, is stayed by order of any court having jurisdiction over an Insolvency Event, or by federal or state statute, (ii) the trustee appointed in connection with an Insolvency Event, or Tenant or Tenant as debtor-in-possession, fails to assume Tenant’s obligations under this Lease on or prior to the earliest to occur of (a) the last day of the period prescribed therefor by law, (b) the one hundred twentieth (120th) day after entry of the order for relief, or (c) a date that is otherwise designated by the court, or (iii) said trustee, Tenant or Tenant as debtor-in-possession fails to provide adequate protection of Landlord’s right, title and interest in and to the Premises or adequate assurance of the complete and continuous future performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease as provided in Section 19.1(C) hereof, then Landlord, to the extent permitted by law or by leave of the court having jurisdiction over such proceeding, shall have the right, at its election, to terminate this Lease on five (5) Business Days of advance notice to Tenant, Tenant as debtor-in-possession or said trustee, and, upon the expiration of said period of five (5) Business Days, this Lease shall cease and expire as aforesaid and Tenant, Tenant as debtor-in-possession or said trustee shall immediately quit and surrender the Premises as aforesaid.

 

  19.5.  Rental for Bankruptcy Purposes.

 

Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to the contrary, all amounts payable by Tenant to or on behalf of Landlord under this Lease, regardless of whether such amounts are expressly denominated as Rental, shall constitute rent for the purposes of Section 502(b)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code, and Tenant’s payment obligations with respect thereto shall constitute obligations to be timely performed pursuant to Section 365(d) of the Bankruptcy Code.

 

Article 20

REMEDIES AND DAMAGES

 

  20.1.  Certain Remedies.

 

(A) If (x) an Event of Default occurs and this Lease and the Term expires and comes to an end as provided in Article 18 hereof, or (y) this Lease terminates as provided in Section 19.3 hereof, then:

 

(1) Tenant shall immediately quit and peacefully surrender the Premises to Landlord, and Landlord and its agents may, without prejudice to any other remedy which Landlord may have, (a) re-enter the Premises or any part thereof, without notice, either by summary proceedings, or by any other applicable action or proceeding, or by lawful force or otherwise (without being liable to indictment, prosecution or damages therefor), (b) repossess the

 

58


Premises and dispossess Tenant and any other Persons from the Premises, and (c) remove any and all of their property and effects from the Premises; and

 

(2) Landlord, at Landlord’s option, may relet the whole or any portion or portions of the Premises from time to time, either in the name of Landlord or otherwise, to such tenant or tenants, for such term or terms ending before, on or after the Fixed Expiration Date, at such rental or rentals and upon such other conditions, which may include concessions and free rent periods, as Landlord, in its sole discretion, may determine.

 

(B) Landlord shall have no obligation to relet the Premises or any part thereof and shall not be liable for refusal or failure to relet the Premises or any part thereof, or, in the event of any such reletting, for refusal or failure to collect any rent due upon any such reletting. Any such refusal or failure on Landlord’s part shall not relieve Tenant of any liability under this Lease or otherwise affect any such liability. Landlord, at Landlord’s option, may make such repairs, replacements, alterations, additions, improvements, decorations and other physical changes in and to the Premises as Landlord, in its sole discretion, considers advisable or necessary in connection with any such reletting or proposed reletting, without relieving Tenant of any liability under this Lease or otherwise affecting any such liability.

 

(C) In the event of a breach or threatened breach by Tenant, or any Persons claiming by, through or under Tenant, of any term, covenant or condition of this Lease, Landlord shall have the right to (1) enjoin or restrain such breach, (2) invoke any other remedy allowed by law or in equity as if re-entry, summary proceedings and other special remedies were not provided in this Lease for such breach, and (3) seek any declaratory, injunctive or other equitable relief, and specifically enforce this Lease. The right to invoke the remedies hereinbefore set forth are cumulative and nonexclusive and shall not preclude Landlord from invoking any other remedy allowed at law or in equity.

Tenant, on its own behalf and on behalf of all Persons claiming by, through or under Tenant, including all creditors, does hereby waive any and all rights which Tenant and all such Persons might have under any present or future law to redeem the Premises, or to re-enter or repossess the Premises, or to restore the operation of this Lease, after (a) Tenant has been dispossessed by a judgment or by warrant of any court or judge, or (b) any re-entry by Landlord, or (c) any expiration or termination of this Lease and the Term, whether such dispossess, re-entry, expiration or termination is by operation of law or pursuant to the provisions of this Lease. The words “re-enter,” “re-entry” and “re-entered” as used in this Lease shall not be deemed to be restricted to their technical legal meanings.

 

59


  20.3.  Calculation of Damages.

 

(A) If this Lease terminates by reason of the occurrence of an Event of Default or by reason of the occurrence of an Insolvency Event, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord, on demand, and Landlord shall be entitled to recover:

 

(1) all Rental payable under this Lease by Tenant to Landlord (x) to the date that this Lease terminates, or (y) to the date of re-entry upon the Premises by Landlord, as the case may be;

 

(2) the excess of (a) the Rental for the period which otherwise would have constituted the unexpired portion of the Term, over (b) the net amount, if any, of rents collected under any reletting effected pursuant to the provisions of clause (2) of Section 20.1(A) hereof for any part of such period (such excess being referred to herein as a “Deficiency”), as damages (it being understood that (x) such net amount described in clause (b) above shall be calculated by deducting from the rents collected under any such reletting all of Landlord’s expenses in connection with the termination of this Lease, Landlord’s re-entry upon the Premises and such reletting, including, but not limited to, all repossession costs, brokerage commissions, legal expenses, attorneys’ fees and disbursements, alteration costs, contributions to work and other expenses of preparing the Premises for such reletting, (y) any such Deficiency shall be paid in monthly installments by Tenant on the days specified in this Lease for payment of installments of Fixed Rent, and (z) Landlord shall be entitled to recover from Tenant each monthly Deficiency as it arises, and no suit to collect the amount of the Deficiency for any month shall prejudice Landlord’s right to collect the Deficiency for any subsequent month by a similar proceeding); and

 

(3) regardless of whether Landlord has collected any monthly Deficiency as aforesaid, and in lieu of any further Deficiency, as and for liquidated and agreed final damages, an amount equal to the excess of (a) the Rental for the period which otherwise would have constituted the unexpired portion of the Term (commencing on the date immediately succeeding the last date with respect to which a Deficiency, if any, was collected), over (b) the then fair and reasonable net effective rental value of the Premises for the same period (which is calculated by deducting from the fair and reasonable rental value of the Premises the expenses that Landlord would reasonably expect to incur in reletting the Premises, including, but not limited to, all repossession costs, brokerage commissions, legal expenses, attorneys’ fees and disbursements, alteration costs, contributions to work and other expenses of preparing the Premises for such reletting), both discounted to present value at the Base Rate. If, before presentation of proof of such liquidated damages to any court, commission or tribunal, the Premises, or any part thereof, have been relet by Landlord for the period which otherwise would have constituted the unexpired portion of the Term, or any part thereof, then the amount of rent reserved upon such reletting shall be deemed, prima facie, to be the fair and reasonable rental value of the Premises (or the applicable part thereof) so relet during the term of the reletting.

 

(B) If the Premises, or any part thereof, are relet together with other space in the Building, then the rents collected or reserved under any such reletting and the expenses of any such reletting shall be equitably apportioned for the purposes of this Section 20.3. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that in no event shall it be entitled to any rents collected or payable under any reletting, regardless of whether such rents exceed the Rental reserved in this Lease.

 

(C) Nothing contained in this Article 20 shall be deemed to limit or preclude the recovery by Landlord from Tenant of the maximum amount allowed to be obtained as damages by any statute or rule of law, or of any sums or damages to which Landlord may be entitled in addition to the damages set forth in this Section 20.3.

Tenant shall pay to Landlord an amount equal to the reasonable costs that Landlord incurs in instituting or prosecuting any legal proceeding against Tenant (or any other Person claiming by, through or under Tenant) after the occurrence of an Event of Default, together with interest thereon calculated at the Applicable Rate from the date that Landlord incurs such costs, within thirty (30) days after Landlord gives to Tenant an invoice therefor (it being understood that Landlord shall have the right to collect such amount from Tenant as additional rent to the extent that Landlord incurs such costs during the Term and as damages to the extent that Landlord incurs such costs after the Expiration Date).

 

  21.2.  Interest on Late Payments.

 

If Tenant fails to pay any item of Rental on or prior to the date that such payment is due, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in addition to such item of Rental, as a late charge and as additional rent, an amount equal to interest at the Applicable Rate on the amount unpaid, computed from the date such payment was due to and including the date of payment. Nothing contained in this Section 21.2 limits Landlord’s rights and remedies, by operation of law or otherwise, after the occurrence of an Event of Default.

 

Article 22

SECURITY

 

  22.1.  Security Deposit.

 

Subject to the terms of this Article 22, Tenant, on the date hereof, shall deposit with Landlord, as security for the performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, cash of $88,058.00 or a “clean,” unconditional, irrevocable and transferable letter of credit (the “Letter of Credit”) that (i) is in the amount of eighty-eight thousand and fifty-eight Dollars and no cents ($88,058.00), (ii) is in a form that is reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, (iii) is issued for a term of not less than one (1) year, (iv) is issued for the account of Landlord, (v) automatically renews for periods of not less than one (1) year unless the issuer thereof otherwise advises Landlord on or prior to the thirtieth day before the applicable expiration date, and (vi) is issued by, and drawn on, a bank that has a Standard & Poor’s rating of at least “AA” (or, if Standard & Poor’s hereafter ceases the publication of ratings for banks, a rating of a reputable rating agency as reasonably designated by Landlord that most closely approximates a Standard & Poor’s rating of “AA” as of the date hereof) and that either (I) has an office in the city where the Building is located at which Landlord can present the Letter of Credit for payment, or (II) has an office in the United States and allows Landlord to draw upon the Letter of Credit without presenting a draft in person (such as, for example, by submitting a draft by fax or overnight delivery service) (the aforesaid rating of the bank that issues the Letter of Credit being referred to herein as the “Bank Rating”).

 

61


  22.2.  Landlord’s Rights.

 

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, then Landlord may present the Letter of Credit for payment and apply the proceeds thereof (i) to the payment of any Rental that then remains unpaid, or (ii) to any damages that Landlord incurs by reason of such Event of Default (the foregoing shall also apply if the Security Deposit is held in the form of cash). If Landlord so applies any part of the proceeds of the Letter of Credit, then Tenant, upon demand, shall provide Landlord with a replacement Letter of Credit so that Landlord has the full amount of the required security at all times during the Term (the foregoing shall also apply if the Security Deposit is held in the form of cash). If at any time the Bank Rating of the issuer of the Letter of Credit is less than “AA” (or, if Standard & Poor’s hereafter ceases the publication of ratings for banks, the Bank Rating of the issuer of the Letter of Credit is less than a rating of a reputable rating agency as reasonably designated by Landlord that most closely approximates a Standard & Poor’s rating of “AA” as of the date hereof), then Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a replacement Letter of Credit, issued by a bank that has a Bank Rating that satisfies the aforesaid requirement (and otherwise meets the requirements set forth in Section 22.1 hereof) within fifteen (15) days after the date that Landlord gives Tenant notice of such deficiency in such issuer’s rating. If Tenant fails to deliver to Landlord such replacement Letter of Credit within such period of fifteen (15) days, then Landlord, in addition to Landlord’s other rights at law, in equity or as otherwise set forth herein, shall have the right to present the Letter of Credit for payment and retain the proceeds thereof as security in lieu of the Letter of Credit (it being agreed that Landlord shall have the right to use, apply and transfer such proceeds in the manner described in this Article 22). Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any reasonable costs that Landlord incurs in so presenting the Letter of Credit for payment within thirty (30) days after Landlord submits to Tenant an invoice therefor. Nothing contained in this Section 22.2 limits Landlord’s rights or remedies in equity, at law, or as otherwise set forth herein.

 

  22.3.  Return of Security.

 

Landlord shall return to Tenant the Letter of Credit (to the extent not theretofore presented for payment in accordance with the terms hereof) within thirty (30) days after Tenant performs all of the obligations of Tenant hereunder upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Term (the foregoing shall also apply if the Security Deposit is held in the form of cash).

 

  22.4.  Transfer of Letter of Credit.

 

Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, shall cause the issuer of the Letter of Credit to amend the Letter of Credit to name a new beneficiary thereunder in connection with Landlord’s assignment of Landlord’s rights under this Lease to a Person that succeeds to Landlord’s interest in the Real Property, promptly after Landlord’s request from time to time.

 

  22.5.  Renewal of Letter of Credit.

 

If Tenant fails to provide Landlord with a replacement Letter of Credit that complies with the requirements of this Article 22 on or prior to the thirtieth (30th) day before the expiration date of the Letter of Credit that is then expiring, then Landlord may present the Letter of Credit for payment and retain the proceeds thereof as security in lieu of the Letter of Credit (it being

 

62


agreed that Landlord shall have the right to use, apply and transfer such proceeds in the manner described in this Article 22). Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any reasonable costs that Landlord incurs in so presenting the Letter of Credit for payment within thirty (30) days after Landlord submit to Tenant an invoice therefor. Landlord also shall have the right to so present the Letter of Credit and so retain the proceeds thereof as security in lieu of the Letter of Credit at any time from and after the thirtieth (30th) day before the Expiration Date if the Letter of Credit expires earlier than the ninetieth (90th) day after the Expiration Date.

 

  22.6.  Interest on the Security Deposit; Additional Security.

 

(A) If the Security Deposit is held in the form of cash, it shall be deposited into a segregated interest bearing account by Landlord and interest shall accrue to the benefit of Tenant, subject to a 1% annual fee for administration of the account.

 

(B) Simultaneously with the execution of this Lease, tenant shall provide to Landlord an unconditional guaranty on behalf of the parent company of Tenant, guaranteeing the collection by Landlord of Tenant’s monetary obligations up to a maximum amount, before interest, of $98,151.00.

 

Article 23

END OF TERM

 

  23.1.  End of Term.

 

On the Expiration Date, Tenant shall quit and surrender to Landlord the Premises, vacant, broom-clean, in good order and condition, ordinary wear and tear and damage for which Tenant is not responsible under the terms of this Lease excepted, and otherwise in compliance with the provisions hereof. Tenant expressly waives, for itself and for any Person claiming by, through or under Tenant, any rights which Tenant or any such Person may have under the provisions of Section 2201 of the New York Civil Practice Law and Rules and of any successor law of like import then in force in connection with any holdover summary proceedings that Landlord institutes to enforce the provisions of this Article 23.

 

  23.2.  Holdover.

 

If vacant and exclusive possession of the Premises is not surrendered to Landlord on the Expiration Date, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord on account of use and occupancy of the Premises, for each month (or any portion thereof) during which Tenant (or a Person claiming by, through or under Tenant) holds over in the Premises after the Expiration Date, an amount equal to the greater of (i) two (2) times the aggregate Rental that was payable under this Lease during the last month of the Term, and (ii) the then fair market rental value of the Premises. Landlord’s right to collect such amount from Tenant for use and occupancy shall be in addition to any other rights or remedies that Landlord may have hereunder or at law or in equity (including, without limitation, Landlord’s right to recover Landlord’s damages from Tenant that derive from vacant and exclusive possession of the Premises not being surrendered to Landlord on the Expiration Date). Nothing contained in this Section 23.2 shall permit Tenant to retain possession of

 

63


the Premises after the Expiration Date or limit in any manner Landlord’s right to regain possession of the Premises, through summary proceedings or otherwise. Landlord’s acceptance of any payments from Tenant after the Expiration Date shall be deemed to be on account of the amount to be paid by Tenant in accordance with the provisions of this Article 23.

 

Article 24

NO WAIVER

 

  24.1.  No Surrender.

 

(A) Landlord shall be deemed to have accepted a surrender of the Premises only if Landlord executes and delivers to Tenant a written instrument providing expressly therefor.

 

(B) No employee of Landlord or of Landlord’s agents shall have any power to accept the keys to the Premises prior to the Expiration Date. The delivery of such keys to any employee of Landlord or of Landlord’s agents shall not operate as a termination of this Lease or a surrender of the Premises. If Tenant at any time desires to have Landlord sublet the Premises on Tenant’s account, then Landlord or Landlord’s agents are authorized to receive said keys for such purpose without releasing Tenant from any of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease.

 

  24.2.  No Waiver by Landlord.

 

(1) Landlord’s failure to seek redress for violation of, or to insist upon the strict performance of, any covenant or condition of this Lease, or any of the Rules, shall not be deemed to be a waiver thereof. The receipt by Landlord of Rental with knowledge of the breach of any covenant of this Lease by Tenant shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach.

 

(2) No payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount than the monthly Fixed Rent or other item of Rental herein stipulated shall be deemed to be other than on account of the earliest stipulated Fixed Rent or other item of Rental, or as Landlord may elect to apply such payment. No endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment as Fixed Rent or other item of Rental shall be deemed to be an accord and satisfaction. Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the balance of such Fixed Rent or other item of Rental or to pursue any other remedy provided in this Lease or otherwise available to Landlord at law or in equity.

 

(B) Landlord’s failure during the Term to prepare and deliver any invoices, and Landlord’s failure to make a demand for payment under any of the provisions of this Lease, shall not in any way be deemed to be a waiver of, or cause Landlord to forfeit or surrender, its rights to collect any item of Rental which may have become due during the Term (except to the extent otherwise expressly set forth herein). Tenant’s liability for such amounts shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

 

(C) No provision of this Lease shall be deemed to have been waived by Landlord, unless such waiver is in writing signed by Landlord.

 

64


  24.3.  No Waiver by Tenant.

 

Tenant’s failure to seek redress for violation of, or to insist upon the strict performance of, any covenant or condition of this Lease on Landlord’s part to be performed, shall not be deemed to be a waiver. The payment by Tenant of any item of Rental or performance of any obligation of Tenant hereunder with knowledge of any breach by Landlord of any covenant of this Lease shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach, nor shall it prejudice Tenant’s right to pursue any remedy against Landlord in this Lease provided or otherwise available to Tenant in law or in equity. No provision of this Lease shall be deemed to have been waived by Tenant, unless such waiver is in writing signed by Tenant.

 

Article 25

JURISDICTION

 

  25.1.  Governing Law.

Tenant further agrees that any action or proceeding by Tenant against Landlord concerning any matters arising out of or in any way relating to this Lease shall be brought only in the State of New York, County of New York.

 

  25.3.  Waiver of Trial by Jury.

 

Landlord and Tenant hereby waive trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim brought by either of the parties hereto against the other on any matters whatsoever arising out of or in any way connected with this Lease, the relationship of Landlord and Tenant, Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises, or for the enforcement of any remedy under any statute, emergency or otherwise. If Landlord commences any summary proceeding against Tenant, then Tenant shall not interpose any counterclaim of whatever nature or description in any such proceeding (unless such counterclaim is mandatory), and shall not seek to consolidate such

 

65


proceeding with any other action which may have been or will be brought in any other court by Tenant.

(1) a wrongful act or wrongful omission of any Tenant Indemnitee during the Term (including, without limitation, claims that derive from a Permitted Party’s conducting such Permitted Party’s business in the Premises or from a Permitted Party’s making, or proposing to make, a Transfer in accordance with the terms hereof);

 

(2) an event or circumstance that occurs during the Term in the Premises or in another portion of the Building with respect to which Tenant has exclusive use pursuant to the terms hereof (subject, however, to Landlord’s rights of access under 0 hereof) (it being understood that Tenant’s liability under this clause (2) shall not apply to the extent that Landlord exercises Landlord’s rights under Section 15.3 hereof with respect to the Recapture Space);

 

(3) the breach of any covenant to be performed by Tenant hereunder;

 

67


(4) a misrepresentation made by Tenant hereunder (including, without limitation, a misrepresentation of Tenant under Section 27.1 hereof);

(6) Landlord’s cooperating with Tenant as contemplated by Section 6.4(A) hereof.

 

Tenant shall not be required to indemnify the Landlord Indemnitees, and hold the Landlord Indemnitees harmless, in either case as aforesaid, to the extent that it is finally determined that the negligence or wilful misconduct of a Landlord Indemnitee contributed to the loss or damage sustained by the Person making the Tenant Liability Claim. Nothing contained in this Section 27.2 limits the provisions of Section 29.17 hereof.

 

(B) The term “Landlord Indemnitees” shall mean, collectively, Landlord, each Lessor, each Mortgagee and their respective partners, members, managers, shareholders, officers, directors, employees, trustees and agents.

 

(C) The term “Tenant Indemnitees” shall mean each Permitted Party and their respective partners, members, managers, shareholders, officers, directors, employees, trustees and agents.

(B) The parties intend that the Tenant Indemnitees (other than Tenant) shall constitute third-party beneficiaries of this Section 27.3.

 

  27.4.  Indemnification Procedure.

 

(A) If at any time a Landlord Liability Claim is made or threatened against a Tenant Indemnitee, or a Tenant Liability Claim is made or threatened against a Landlord Indemnitee, then the Person entitled to indemnity under this 0 (the “Indemnitee”) shall give to the other party (the “Indemnitor”) notice of such Landlord Liability Claim or such Tenant Liability Claim, as the case may be (the “Claim”); provided, however, that the Indemnitee’s failure to provide such notice shall not impair the Indemnitee’s rights to indemnity as provided in this 0 except to the extent that the Indemnitor is prejudiced materially thereby. Such notice shall state the basis for the Claim and the amount thereof (to the extent such amount is determinable at the time that such notice is given).

 

(B) The Indemnitor shall have the right to defend against the Claim using attorneys that the Indemnitor reasonably selects (it being understood that the attorneys designated by the Indemnitor’s insurer shall be deemed approved by the Indemnitee for purposes hereof). The Indemnitor’s failure to notify the Indemnitee of the Indemnitor’s election to defend against the Claim within thirty (30) days after the Indemnitee gives such notice to the Indemnitor shall be deemed a waiver by the Indemnitor of its aforesaid right to defend against the Claim.

 

(C) Subject to the terms of this Section 27.4(C), if the Indemnitor elects to defend against the Claim pursuant to Section 27.4(B) hereof, then the Indemnitee may participate, at the Indemnitee’s expense, in defending against the Claim. The Indemnitor shall have the right to control the defense against the Claim (and, accordingly, the Indemnitee shall cause its counsel to act accordingly). If there exists a conflict between the interests of the Indemnitor and the interests of the Indemnitee, then the Indemnitor shall pay the reasonable fees and disbursements of any counsel that the Indemnitee retains in so participating in the defense against the Claim.

 

(D) If the Claim is a Tenant Liability Claim, then Landlord shall cooperate reasonably with Tenant in connection therewith. If the Claim is a Landlord Liability Claim, then Tenant shall cooperate reasonably with Landlord in connection therewith.

 

(E) The Indemnitor shall not consent to the entry of any judgment or award regarding the Claim, or enter into any settlement regarding the Claim, except in either case with the prior approval of the Indemnitee (any such entry of any judgment or award regarding a Claim to which the Indemnitor consents, or any such settlement regarding a claim to which the Indemnitor agrees, being referred to herein as a “Settlement”). The Indemnitee shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay the Indemnitee’s approval of a proposed Settlement, provided that the Indemnitor pays, in cash, to the Person making the Claim, the entire amount of

 

69


the Settlement contemporaneously with the Indemnitee’s approval thereof (so that neither the Indemnitor nor the Indemnitee have any material obligations regarding the applicable Claim that remain executory from and after the consummation of the Settlement). If (x) the terms of the Settlement do not provide for the Indemnitor’s making payment, in cash, to the Person making the Claim, the entire amount of the Settlement contemporaneously with the Indemnitee’s approval thereof, and (y) the Indemnitee does not approve the proposed Settlement, then the Indemnitor’s aggregate liability under this 0 for the Claim (including, without limitation, the costs incurred by the Indemnitor for legal costs and other costs of defense) shall not exceed an amount equal to the sum of (i) the aggregate legal costs and defense costs that the Indemnitor incurred to the date that the Indemnitor proposes such Settlement, (ii) the amount that the Indemnitor would have otherwise paid to the Person making the applicable Claim under the terms of the proposed Settlement, and (iii) the aggregate legal costs and defense costs that the Indemnitor would have reasonably expected to incur in consummating the proposed Settlement.

 

(F) If the Indemnitor does not elect to defend against the Claim as contemplated by this Section 27.4, then the Indemnitee may defend against, or settle, such claim, action or proceeding in any manner that the Indemnitee deems appropriate, and the Indemnitor shall be liable for the Claim to the extent provided in this 0.

 

Article 28

LANDLORD’S CONSENTS; ARBITRATION

 

  28.1.  Certain Limitations.

 

(A) Subject to the terms of Section 28.2 hereof, Tenant hereby waives any claim against Landlord for Landlord’s unreasonably withholding, unreasonably conditioning or unreasonably delaying any consent or approval requested by Tenant in cases where Landlord expressly agreed herein not to unreasonably withhold, unreasonably condition or unreasonably delay such consent or approval excepting any claim for the unreasonable failure to consent to an assignment or sublease of the premises or Landlord’s obligations arising out of Article 8.1. If there is a determination that such consent or approval has been unreasonably withheld, unreasonably conditioned or unreasonably delayed, then (1) the requested consent or approval shall be deemed to have been granted, and (2) Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant for its refusal or failure to give such consent or approval, except to the extent set forth in Section 28.2(C) hereof. Tenant’s sole remedy for Landlord’s unreasonably withholding, conditioning or delaying consent or approval shall be as provided in this Article 28.

 

  28.2.  Expedited Arbitration.

 

(A) If (i) this Lease obligates Landlord to not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay Landlord’s consent or approval for a particular matter, (ii) Landlord withholds, delays or conditions its consent or approval for such matter, and (iii) Tenant believes that Landlord did so unreasonably, then Tenant shall have the right to submit the issue of whether Landlord unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned such consent or approval to an Expedited Arbitration Proceeding only by giving notice thereof to Landlord on or prior to the thirtieth (30th) day after the date that Landlord denied or conditioned such consent or approval, or

 

70


the thirtieth (30th) day after the date that Tenant claims that Landlord’s delaying such consent or approval first became unreasonable, as the case may be.

 

(B) The sole decision to be made in the Expedited Arbitration Proceeding shall be whether Landlord unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned its consent with respect to the particular matter being arbitrated. If the decision in the Expedited Arbitration Proceeding is that Landlord unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed consent with respect to such matter, then (i) Landlord shall be deemed to have consented to such matter, and (ii) Landlord shall execute and deliver documentation that is reasonably requested by Tenant to evidence such consent.

 

(C) Tenant shall have the right to institute legal proceedings in a court of competent jurisdiction against Landlord to recover the actual damages that Tenant sustains by reason of Landlord’s unreasonably withholding, conditioning or delaying Landlord’s consent or approval (in cases where Landlord agreed not to unreasonably withhold, condition or delay such consent or approval). Tenant shall not have the right to make any such recovery unless such court makes a final determination that Landlord unreasonably withheld, unreasonably delayed or unreasonably conditioned such consent or approval capriciously and arbitrarily.

 

(D) The term “Expedited Arbitration Proceeding” shall mean a binding arbitration proceeding conducted in The City of New York under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (or its successor) and administered pursuant to the Expedited Procedures provisions thereof; provided, however, that with respect to any such arbitration, (i) the list of arbitrators referred to in Section E-5(b) shall be returned within five (5) Business Days from the date of mailing; (ii) the parties shall notify the American Arbitration Association (or its successor) by telephone, within four (4) Business Days, of any objections to the arbitrator appointed and, subject to clause (vii) below, shall have no right to object if the arbitrator so appointed was on the list submitted by the American Arbitration Association (or its successor) and was not objected to in accordance with Section E-5(b) as modified by clause (i) above; (iii) the notification of the hearing referred to in Section E-8 shall be four (4) Business Days in advance of the hearing; (iv) the hearing shall be held within seven (7) Business Days after the appointment of the arbitrator; (v) the arbitrator shall have no right to award damages or vary, modify or waive any provision of this Lease; (vi) the decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding on the parties; and (vii) the arbitrator shall not have been employed by either party (or their respective Affiliates) during the period of three (3) years prior to the date of the Expedited Arbitration Proceeding. The arbitrator shall determine the extent to which each party is successful in such Expedited Arbitration Proceeding in addition to rendering a decision on the dispute submitted. If the arbitrator determines that one (1) party is entirely unsuccessful, then such party shall pay all of the fees of such arbitrator. If the arbitrator determines that both parties are partially successful, then each party shall be responsible for such arbitrator’s fees only to the extent such party is unsuccessful (e.g., if Landlord is eighty (80%) percent successful and Tenant is twenty (20%) percent successful, then Landlord shall be responsible for twenty (20%) percent of such arbitrator’s fees and Tenant shall be responsible for eighty (80%) percent of such arbitrator’s fees).
