- 26 -



proceeding by retaining counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnitee, and such Indemnitee will cooperate and assist in the defense of such action or proceeding if reasonably requested so to do by Tenant.

So long as no Event of Default exists, Tenant is hereby authorized to adjust, collect and compromise all claims under any of the insurance policies required by Paragraph 16(a) (except public liability insurance claims payable to a Person other than Tenant, Landlord or Lender) for amounts not in excess of the Threshold Amount upon notice to Landlord (but without the consent of Landlord) and to execute and deliver on behalf of Landlord all necessary proofs of loss, receipts, vouchers and releases required by the insurers; provided that Landlord shall have the right to join with Tenant therein. Any final adjustment, settlement or compromise of any such claim above the Threshold Amount shall be subject to the prior written approval of Landlord (not to be unreasonably withheld or conditioned), and Landlord shall have the right to prosecute or contest, or to require Tenant to prosecute or contest, any such claim, adjustment, settlement or compromise. If an Event of Default exists, Tenant shall not be entitled to adjust, collect or compromise any claim or to participate with Landlord in any adjustment, collection and compromise of the Net Award payable in connection with any Casualty. Tenant agrees to sign, upon the request of Landlord, all such proofs of loss, receipts, vouchers and releases. Each insurer is hereby authorized and directed to make payment under said policies, including return of unearned premiums, directly to Landlord or, if required by the Mortgage, to Lender instead of to Landlord and Tenant jointly, and Tenant hereby appoints each of Landlord and Lender as Tenant’s attorneys-in-fact to endorse any draft therefor. The rights of Landlord under this Paragraph 17(a) shall be extended to Lender if and to the extent that any Mortgage so provides.

                           (b)         Tenant, promptly upon receiving a Condemnation Notice, shall notify Landlord and Lender thereof. So long as no Event of Default exists, Tenant is authorized to collect, settle and compromise the amount of any Net Award not in excess of the Threshold Amount upon notice to Landlord (but without the consent of Landlord); provided that Landlord shall have the right to join with Tenant herein. If an Event of Default exists, Landlord shall be authorized to collect, settle and compromise the amount of any Net Award and Tenant shall not be entitled to participate with Landlord in any Condemnation proceeding or negotiations under threat thereof or to contest the Condemnation or the amount of the Net Award therefor. No final

- 30 -



agreement with any condemnor in settlement or under threat of any Condemnation shall be made by Tenant without the written consent of Landlord. Subject to the provisions of this Paragraph 17(b), Tenant hereby irrevocably assigns to Landlord any award or payment to which Tenant is or may be entitled by reason of any Condemnation, whether the same shall be paid or payable for Tenant’s leasehold interest hereunder or otherwise; but nothing in this Lease shall impair Tenant’s right to any award or payment on account of Tenant’s trade fixtures, equipment or other tangible property which is not part of the Equipment, moving expenses or loss of business, if available, to the extent that and so long as (i) Tenant shall have the right to make, and does make, a separate claim therefor against the condemnor and (ii) such claim does not in any way reduce either the amount of the award otherwise payable to Landlord for the Condemnation of Landlord’s fee interest in the applicable Related Premises or the amount of the award (if any) otherwise payable for the Condemnation of Tenant’s leasehold interest hereunder. The rights of Landlord under this Paragraph 17(b) shall also be extended to Lender if and to the extent that any Mortgage so provides.

                           (c)         If any Partial Casualty (whether or not insured against) or Partial Condemnation shall occur to any Related Premises, this Lease shall continue, notwithstanding such event, and there shall be no abatement or reduction of any Monetary Obligations, except as provided in Paragraph 17(d). Promptly after such Partial Casualty or Partial Condemnation, Tenant, as required in Paragraph 12(a), shall commence and diligently continue to restore the Leased Premises as nearly as possible to their value, condition and character immediately prior to such event (assuming the Leased Premises to have been in condition required by this Lease). So long as no Event of Default exists, any Net Award up to and including the Threshold Amount shall be paid by Landlord to Tenant and Tenant shall restore the Leased Premises in accordance with the requirements of Paragraph 13 (b) of this Lease, Any Net Award in excess of the Threshold Amount shall (unless such Casualty resulting in the Net Award is a Termination Event) be made available by Landlord (or Lender, if required by the terms of any Mortgage) to Tenant for the restoration of any of the Leased Premises pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 19 hereof. If any Casualty or Condemnation which is not a Partial Casualty or Partial Condemnation shall occur, Tenant shall comply with the terms and conditions of Paragraph 18.

                           (d)         In the event of a Requisition of any of the Leased Premises, if any Net Award payable by reason of such Requisition is (i) retained by Landlord, each installment of Basic Rent payable on or after the date on which the Net Award is paid to Landlord shall be reduced by a fraction, the denominator of which shall be the total amount of all Basic Rent due from such date to and including the last Basic Rent Payment Date for the then existing Term and the numerator of which shall be the amount of such Net Award retained by Landlord, or (ii) paid to Lender, then each installment of Basic Rent thereafter payable shall be reduced in the same amount and for the same period as payments are reduced under the Note until such Net Award has been applied in full or until the Term has expired, whichever first occurs.

                  18.          Termination Events.

                           (a)         If either (i) all of any Related Premises shall be taken by a Taking or (ii) any substantial portion of the any Related Premises shall be taken by a Taking or all or any substantial portion of any Related Premises shall be damaged or destroyed by a Casualty and, in

- 31 -



such case, Tenant certifies and covenants to Landlord that it will forever abandon operations at the applicable Related Premises (any one or all of the Related Premises described in the above clauses (i) and (ii) hereinafter referred to as the “Affected Premises” and each of the events described in the above clauses (i) and (ii) shall hereinafter be referred to as a “Termination Event”), then (x) in the case of (i) above, Tenant shall be obligated, within thirty (30) days after Tenant receives a Condemnation Notice and (y) in the case of (ii) above, Tenant shall have the option, within thirty (30) days after Tenant receives a Condemnation Notice or thirty (30) days after the Casualty, as the case may be, to give to Landlord written notice in the form described in Paragraph 18(b) of the Tenant’s election to terminate this Lease as to the Affected Premises (a “Termination Notice”). If Tenant elects under clause (y) above not to give Landlord a Termination Notice, then Tenant shall rebuild or repair the affected Premises in accordance with Paragraphs 17 and 19.

                           (b)         A Termination Notice shall contain (i) notice of Tenant’s intention to terminate this Lease as to the Affected Premises on the first Basic Rent Payment Date which occurs at least sixty (60) days after the Fair Market Value Date (the “Termination Date”), (ii) a binding and irrevocable offer of Tenant to pay to Landlord the Termination Amount and (iii) if the Termination Event is an event described in Paragraph 18(a)(ii), the certification and covenants described therein and a certified resolution of the Board of Directors of Tenant authorizing the same. Promptly upon the delivery to Landlord of a Termination Notice, Landlord and Tenant shall commence to determine the Fair Market Value.

                           (c)         If Landlord shall reject such offer by Tenant to pay to Landlord the Termination Amount as to the Affected Premises pursuant to Paragraph 18(b) above by written notice to Tenant (a “Rejection”), which Rejection shall contain the written consent of Lender to Landlord’s rejection of Tenant’s offer to pay the Termination Amount, not later than thirty (30) days following the Fair Market Value Date, then this Lease shall terminate as to the Affected Premises on the Termination Date; provided that, if Tenant has not satisfied all Monetary Obligations and all other obligations and liabilities under this Lease which have arisen as to the Affected Premises on or prior to the Termination Date (collectively, “Remaining Obligations”) on the Termination Date, then Landlord may, at its option, extend the date on which this Lease may terminate as to the Affected Premises to a date which is no later than the first Basic Rent Payment Date after the Termination Date on which Tenant has satisfied all Remaining Obligations. Upon such termination (i) all obligations of Tenant hereunder as to the Affected Premises shall terminate except for any Surviving Obligations, (ii) Tenant shall immediately vacate and shall have no further right, title or interest in or to any of the Affected Premises and (iii) the Net Award shall be retained by Landlord. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary hereinabove contained, if Tenant shall have received a Rejection and, on the date when this Lease would otherwise terminate, Landlord shall not have received the full amount of the Net Award payable by reason of the applicable Termination Event for any reason other than any failure or delay on the part of or caused by Landlord or its agents, then the date on which this Lease is to terminate shall be automatically extended to the first Basic Rent Payment Date after the receipt by Landlord of the full amount of the Net Award provided that, if Tenant has not satisfied all Remaining Obligations on such date, then Landlord may, at its option, extend the date on which this Lease may terminate to a date which is no later than the first Basic Rent Payment Date after such date on which Tenant has satisfied all such Remaining Obligations.

- 32 -



                            (d)         Unless Tenant shall have received a Rejection not later than the thirtieth (30th) day following the Fair Market Value Date, Landlord shall be conclusively presumed to have accepted such offer from Tenant to pay the Termination Amount. If such offer from Tenant to pay the Termination Amount is accepted by Landlord then, on the Termination Date, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the Termination Amount and all Remaining Obligations and, if requested by Tenant, Landlord shall (i) convey to Tenant or its designee the Affected Premises or the remaining portion thereof, if any, in accordance with Paragraph 20.

                           (e)         In the event of the termination of this Lease as to the Affected Premises as hereinabove provided, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect as to the Remaining Premises; provided, that the Basic Rent for the Remaining Premises to be paid after such termination shall be the Basic Rent otherwise payable hereunder with respect to the Leased Premises multiplied by a percentage equal to the sum of the percentages set forth on Exhibit “F” for the Remaining Premises.

                  19.          Restoration.

                           (a)         If any Net Award is in excess of $500,000, Landlord (or Lender if required by any Mortgage) shall hold the entire Net Award in a fund (the “Restoration Fund”) and disburse amounts from the Restoration Fund only in accordance with the following conditions:

                                            (i)         prior to commencement of restoration, (A) the architects, contracts, contractors, plans and specifications and a budget for the restoration shall have been approved by Landlord, (B) Landlord and Lender shall be provided with mechanics’ lien insurance (if available) (C) if required by lender or if the estimated cost of the restoration exceeds the anticipated Net Award by more than $1,000,000 an acceptable performance and payment bond, letter of credit or such other security satisfactory to Landlord which insures satisfactory completion of and payment for the restoration, are in an amount and form and have a surety acceptable to Landlord, and, if applicable, shall name Landlord and Lender as additional dual obligees or beneficiaries, and (D) to the extent permitted under applicable Law, appropriate waivers of mechanics’ and materialmen’s liens shall have been obtained and/or filed;

                                            (ii)         at the time of any disbursement, no Event of Default shall exist and no mechanics’ or materialmen’s liens shall have been filed against any of the Leased Premises and remain undischarged;

                                            (iii)         disbursements shall be made from time to time in an amount not exceeding the cost of the work completed since the last disbursement, upon receipt of (A) satisfactory evidence, including architects’ certificates, of the stage of completion, the estimated total cost of completion and performance of the work to date in a good and workmanlike manner in accordance with the contracts, plans and specifications, (B) waivers of liens, (C) contractors’ and subcontractors’ sworn statements as to completed work and the cost thereof for which payment is requested, (D) a satisfactory bringdown of title insurance and (E) other evidence of cost and payment so that Landlord can verify that the amounts disbursed from time to time are represented by work that is completed, in place and free and clear of mechanics’ and materialmen’s lien claims;

- 33 -



                                            (iv)         each request for disbursement shall be accompanied by a certificate of Tenant, signed by the president or a vice president of Tenant, describing the work for which payment is requested, stating the cost incurred in connection therewith, stating that Tenant has not previously received payment for such work and, upon completion of the work, also stating that the work has been fully completed and complies with the applicable requirements of this Lease;

                                            (v)         Landlord may retain ten percent (10%) of the restoration fund until the restoration is fully completed;

                                            (vi)         if the Restoration Fund is held by Landlord, the Restoration Fund shall not be commingled with Landlord’s other funds and shall bear interest at a rate agreed to by Landlord and Tenant; and

                                            (vii)         such other reasonable conditions as Landlord or Lender may impose.

                           (b)         Prior to commencement of restoration and at any time during restoration, if the estimated cost of completing the restoration work free and clear of all liens, as determined by Landlord’s Consultant using industry guidelines and standards, exceeds the amount of the Net Award available for such restoration, the amount of such excess shall, upon demand by Landlord, be paid by Tenant to Landlord to be added to the Restoration Fund. Any sum so added by Tenant which remains in the Restoration Fund upon completion of restoration shall be refunded to Tenant. For purposes of determining the source of funds with respect to the disposition of funds remaining after the completion of restoration, the Net Award shall be deemed to be disbursed prior to any amount added by Tenant.

                           (c)         If any sum remains in the Restoration Fund after completion of the restoration and any refund to Tenant pursuant to Paragraph 19(b), such sum (the “Remaining Sum”) shall be retained by Landlord or, if required by a Note or Mortgage, paid by Landlord to a Lender. If the Remaining Sum is (i) retained by Landlord, each installment of Basic Rent payable on or after the Retention Date shall be reduced by a fraction, the denominator of which shall be the total amount of all Basic Rent due from such date to and including the last Basic Rent Payment Date for the then existing Term and the numerator of which shall be the Remaining Sum, or (ii) paid to Lender, then each installment of Basic Rent thereafter payable shall be reduced in the same amount as payments are reduced under any Note if the Loan corresponding to such Note is reamortized to reflect such payment, in each case until such Remaining Sum has been applied in full or until the Term has expired, whichever occurs first. Upon the expiration of the Term, any portion of the Remaining Sum which has not been so applied shall be retained by Landlord.

                  20.          Procedures Upon Purchase.

                           (a)         If the Leased Premises or any of the Related Premises is purchased by Tenant pursuant to any express provision of this Lease or pursuant to any other agreement between Landlord and Tenant, Landlord need not convey any better title thereto than that which was conveyed to Landlord, and Tenant shall accept such title, subject, however, to the Permitted

- 34 -



Encumbrances and to all other liens, exceptions and restrictions on, against or relating to any of the Leased Premises or the applicable Related Premises and to all applicable Laws, but free of the lien of and security interest created by any Mortgage or Assignment and liens, exceptions and restrictions on, against or relating to the Leased Premises or the applicable Related Premises which have been created by or resulted solely from acts of Landlord after the date of this Lease, unless the same are Permitted Encumbrances or customary utility easements benefiting the Leased Premises or the applicable Related Premises or were created with the concurrence of Tenant or as a result of a default by Tenant under this Lease.

                           (b)         Upon the date fixed for any such purchase of the Leased Premises or the applicable Related Premises pursuant to any provision of this Lease (any such date the “Purchase Date”), Tenant shall pay to Landlord, or to any Person to whom Landlord directs payment, the Relevant Amount therefor specified herein, in Federal Funds, less any credit of the Net Award received and retained by Landlord or a Lender allowed against the Relevant Amount, and Landlord shall deliver to Tenant (i) a special warranty deed which describes the premises being conveyed and conveys the title thereto as provided in Paragraph 20(a), (ii) such other instruments as shall be necessary to transfer to Tenant or its designee any other property (or rights to any Net Award not yet received by Landlord or a Lender) then required to be sold by Landlord to Tenant pursuant to this Lease and (iii) any Net Award received by Landlord, not credited to Tenant against the Relevant Amount and required to be delivered by Landlord to Tenant pursuant to this Lease; provided, that if any Monetary Obligations remain outstanding on such date, then Landlord may deduct from the Net Award the amount of such Monetary Obligations; and further provided, that if Landlord shall receive written notice of any pending or threatened claim with respect to or in connection with the Leased Premises or any part thereof, which, in Landlord’s good faith and reasonable judgment, is likely to subject any Indemnitee to any liability which Tenant is required to indemnify against pursuant to Paragraph 15, then an amount shall be deducted from the Net Award which, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, is sufficient to satisfy such liability, which amount shall be deposited in an escrow account with a title company or financial institution reasonably satisfactory to Landlord and Tenant pending resolution of such matter; and upon such resolution shall be promptly paid over to Tenant less any costs of maintaining such escrow account. If on the Purchase Date any Monetary Obligations remain outstanding and no Net Award is payable to Tenant by Landlord or the amount of such Net Award is less than the amount of the Monetary Obligations, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord on the Purchase Date the amount of such Monetary Obligations. Upon the completion of such purchase, this Lease and all obligations and liabilities of Tenant hereunder with respect only to the applicable Related Premises shall terminate, except any Surviving Obligations.

                           (c)         If the completion of such purchase shall be delayed after (i) the Termination Date, in the event of a purchase pursuant to Paragraph 18 or, (ii) the date scheduled for such purchase, in the event of a purchase under any other provision of this Lease then (x) Rent shall continue to be due and payable until completion of such purchase and (y) at Landlord’s sole option, Fair Market Value shall be redetermined and the Relevant Amount payable by Tenant pursuant to the applicable provision of this Lease shall be adjusted to reflect such redetermination.

- 35 -



                            (d)         Any prepaid Monetary Obligations paid to Landlord shall be prorated as of the Purchase Date, and the prorated unapplied balance shall be deducted from the Relevant Amount due to Landlord; provided, that no apportionment of any Impositions shall be made upon any such purchase.

                  21.          Assignment and Subletting, Prohibition Against Leasehold Financing.

                           (a)         Except as otherwise expressly provided to the contrary in this Paragraph 21, Tenant may not (i) assign this Lease, voluntarily or involuntarily, whether by operation of law or otherwise (including through any merger or consolidation) to any Person other than a Credit Entity, or (ii) sublet any of the Leased Premises at any time to any other Person other than an Affiliate of Tenant or a Credit Entity, without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent may be granted or withheld by Landlord in accordance with the provisions of Paragraphs 21(b) or 21(c) below, as applicable; and subject, in each case, to the provisions of Paragraphs 21(j) and (k). Any purported sublease or assignment in violation of this Paragraph 21 (including any Affiliate transaction in violation of the provisions of Paragraphs 21(j) and (k) below) shall be null and void. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Paragraph 21, Tenant shall not have the right to assign this Lease (voluntarily or involuntarily, whether by operation of law or otherwise), or sublet any of the Leased Premises to any Person (including any Affiliate) at any time that an Event of Default beyond any applicable notice and cure period shall have occurred and then be continuing under this Lease. As used herein, a “Credit Entity” shall mean any Person that immediately following such assignment or subletting will have a publicly traded unsecured senior debt rating of “Baa3” or better from Moody’s Investors Services, Inc. or a rating of “BBB-” or better from Standard & Poor’s Corporation (or, if such Person does not then have rated debt, a determination that its unsecured senior debt would be so rated by such rating agencies), and in the event all of such rating agencies cease to furnish such ratings, then a comparable rating by any rating agency acceptable to Landlord and Lender.

                           (b)         If Tenant desires to assign this Lease, whether by operation of law or otherwise, to a Person (“Non-Preapproved Assignee”) that is not a Credit Entity or a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tenant (each a “Non-Preapproved Assignment”) then Tenant shall, not less than forty-five (45) days prior to the date on which it desires to make a Non-Preapproved Assignment submit to Landlord information regarding the following with respect to the Non-Preapproved Assignee (collectively, the “Review Criteria”): (A) credit and financial history (B) capital structure, (C) management, (D) operating history, (E) proposed use of the Leased Premises and (F) risk factors associated with the proposed use of the Leased Premises by the Non-Preapproved Assignee, taking into account factors such as environmental concerns, product liability and the like. Landlord shall endeavor, in good faith, to review such information and approve or disapprove the proposed Non-Preapproved Assignee no later than the thirtieth (30th) day following receipt of all such information, and Landlord shall be deemed to have acted reasonably in granting or withholding consent if such grant or disapproval is based solely on their review of the Review Criteria applying prudent business judgment.

                           (c)         Tenant shall have the right, upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to Landlord, to enter into one or more subleases that demise, in the aggregate, up to, but not to exceed, either (i) thirty (30%) percent of the gross leasable area in the Improvements at

- 36 -



the Leased Premises with no consent or approval of Landlord being required or necessary (“Preapproved Sublet”). Other than pursuant to a Preapproved Sublet, at no time during the Term shall subleases exist for more than thirty (30%) percent of the gross leasable area at the Leased Premises without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned and shall be granted or withheld based on a review of the Review Criteria as they relate to the proposed sublessee and the terms of the proposed sublease. If a response to a request for a non-Preapproved Sublet is not received by Tenant from Landlord by the expiration of such thirty (30) day period, such proposed non-Preapproved Sublet shall be deemed approved.

                           (d)         If Tenant assigns all its rights and interest under this Lease, the assignee under such assignment shall expressly assume all the obligations of Tenant hereunder, actual or contingent, including obligations of Tenant which may have arisen on or prior to the date of such assignment, by a written instrument delivered to Landlord at the time of such assignment. Each sublease of any portion of the Leased Premises shall (A) be expressly subject and subordinate to this Lease and any Mortgage encumbering the Leased Premises; (B) not extend beyond the then current Term including any exercised or deemed exercised Renewal Term) minus one day; (C) terminate upon any termination of this Lease, unless Landlord elects in writing, to cause the sublessee to attorn to and recognize Landlord as the lessor under such sublease, whereupon such sublease shall continue as a direct lease between the sublessee and Landlord upon all the terms and conditions of such sublease; and (D) bind the sublessee to all covenants contained in Paragraphs 4(a), 10 and 12 with respect to subleased premises to the same extent as if the sublessee were the Tenant. No assignment or sublease shall affect or reduce any of the obligations of Tenant hereunder, and all such obligations shall continue in full force and effect as obligations of a principal and not as obligations of a guarantor, as if no assignment or sublease had been made, except that, in the event Tenant assigns the Lease and its rights hereunder, voluntarily or involuntarily, whether by operation of law or otherwise (including through any merger or consolidation) to a Credit Entity, then the transferor Tenant shall be released, discharged and relieved from any and all further liability and/or obligation under this Lease for matters that arise after the transfer (upon a written request for such release from Tenant to Landlord and upon such assignee’s compliance with the first sentence of this Paragraph 21(d)). No assignment or sublease shall impose any additional obligations on Landlord under this Lease. In the event that any assignee of the Leased Premises shall be in default under this Lease beyond any applicable notice and cure period, then Landlord agrees that it shall give the assignor fifteen (15) days prior written notice before commencing any remedy under Paragraph 23 of this Lease and such assignor shall have the opportunity to cure such default within such fifteen (15) day period.

                           (e)         Tenant shall, within ten (10) days after the execution and delivery of any assignment or sublease (whether or not Landlord’s consent or approval was required), deliver a duplicate original copy thereof to Landlord which, in the event of an assignment, shall be in recordable form. With respect to any assignment to any Affiliate or Credit Entity, or in the case of a Preapproved Sublet, Tenant shall provide to Landlord information reasonably required by Landlord to establish that the Person involved in any such proposed assignment or sublet satisfies the criteria and definitions of same set forth in this Lease.

- 37 - -



                            (f)         As security for performance of its obligations under this Lease, Tenant hereby grants, conveys and assigns to Landlord all right, title and interest of Tenant in and to all subleases now in existence or hereafter entered into for any or all of the Leased Premises, any and all extensions, modifications and renewals thereof and all rents, issues and profits therefrom. Landlord hereby grants to Tenant a license to collect and enjoy all rents and other sums of money payable under any sublease of any of the Leased Premises, provided, however, that Landlord shall have the absolute right at any time following the occurrence of an Event of Default to revoke said license and to collect such rents and sums of money and to retain the same; provided that such collections shall be applied toward the Basic Rent due hereunder. Except with respect to any Pre-approved Sublet, Tenant shall not consent to, cause or allow any modification or alteration of any of the terms, conditions or covenants of any of subleases or the termination thereof, without the prior written approval of Landlord which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, Tenant shall not accept any rents more than thirty (30) days in advance of the accrual thereof nor do nor permit anything to be done, the doing of which, nor omit or refrain from doing anything, the omission of which, will or could be a breach of or default in the terms of any of the subleases.

                           (g)         Tenant shall not have the power to mortgage, pledge or otherwise encumber its interest under this Lease or any sublease of any of the Leased Premises, and any such mortgage, pledge or encumbrance made in violation of this Paragraph 21 shall be void and of no force and effect.

                           (h)         Landlord may sell or transfer the entire Leased Premises at any time without Tenant’s consent to any single third party (each a “Third Party Purchaser”). In the event of any such transfer, Tenant shall attorn to any Third Party Purchaser as Landlord so long as such Third Party Purchaser and Landlord notify Tenant in writing of such transfer, and Third Party Purchaser recognizes and accepts Tenant as its tenant and thereafter assumes and agrees to perform Landlord’s obligations as landlord under this Lease. At the request of Landlord, Tenant will execute such documents confirming the agreement referred to above and such other agreements as Landlord may reasonably request, provided that such agreements do not increase the liabilities or obligations of Tenant hereunder.

                           (i)         Intentionally Omitted.

                           (j)         Tenant shall not, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, sell or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of its assets (an “Asset Transfer”) to any Person, and any such Asset Transfer shall be deemed an assignment in violation of this Lease; except that, Tenant shall have the right conduct an Asset Transfer to a Person if the following conditions are met: (a) the Asset Transfer is to a Person that (i) immediately following such transaction or transactions, taken in the aggregate, is (or would be, on a pro forma basis) a Credit Entity, (ii) is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tenant (but only for so long as such Person shall remain a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tenant, and provided further that such Asset Transfer is affected for a valid intracorporate purpose, such as a restructuring for tax or accounting purposes, and not with the intent of circumventing the anti-assignment provisions of this Lease) in which case the former Tenant shall enter into a guaranty satisfactory to Landlord pursuant to which it guarantees the payment and performance of the obligations of the new Tenant under this Lease, or (iii) is approved in writing by Landlord under the Review

- 38 -



Criteria as a Non-Preapproved Assignee in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 21(b) of this Lease and (b) this Lease is assigned to such Person as a part of such Asset Transfer.

                           (k)         At no time during the Term shall any Person or “group” (within the meaning of Section 13(d) or Section 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended); pursuant to a single transaction or series of related transaction (i) acquire more than 50% of the Voting Stock, partnership interests, membership interests or other equitable and/or beneficial interests of either Tenant or Danka Holding Company (“Control”) or (ii) obtain the power (whether or not exercised) to elect a majority of the directors of either Tenant or Danka Holding Company or voting control of any partnership or limited liability company or other entity acting as its general partner or managing member, unless the purchaser of such Control or Person who acquires such voting power shall (A) after taking into account the transaction that resulted in the acquisition of such Control or voting power, be a Credit Entity and such Person shall enter into a guaranty satisfactory to Landlord pursuant to which it guarantees the payment and performance of the obligations of Tenant under this Lease, or (B) be approved in writing by Landlord under the Review Criteria as a Non-Preapproved Assignee in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 21(b) above.

                  22.          Events of Default.

                           (a)         The occurrence of any one or more of the following (after expiration of any applicable cure period as provided in Paragraph 22(b)) shall, at the sole option of Landlord, constitute an “Event of Default” under this Lease:

                                            (v)         Intentionally Omitted;

                                            (vi)         a final, non-appealable judgment or judgments for the payment of money in excess of $10,000,000 in the aggregate and which are not covered and

                                            (xiv)         a failure by Tenant to maintain in effect any license or permit necessary for the use, occupancy or operation of the Leased Premises or any Related Premises;

If the default consists of a default under clauses (ii), (iii) (xiv) or (xv) of Paragraph 22(a), other than the events specified in clauses (B) and (C) of the first sentence of this Paragraph 22(b), the applicable cure period shall be twenty (20) days from the date on which notice is given or, if the default is not susceptible to cure within such twenty (20) day period and delay in the exercise of a remedy would not (in Landlord’s reasonable judgment) cause any material adverse harm to Landlord or any of the Leased Premises, the cure period shall be extended for the period required to cure the default (but such cure period, including any extension, shall not in the aggregate exceed ninety (90) days), provided that Tenant shall commence to cure the default within the said twenty-day period and shall actively, diligently and in good faith proceed with and continue the curing of the default until it shall be fully cured.

                  23.          Remedies and Damages upon Default.

                           (a)         If an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, Landlord shall have the right, at its sole option, then or at any time thereafter, to exercise its remedies and to collect damages from Tenant in accordance with this Paragraph 23, subject in all events to applicable Law, without demand upon or notice to Tenant except as otherwise provided in Paragraph 22(b) and this Paragraph 23.

                                            (i)         Landlord may give Tenant notice of Landlord’s intention to terminate this Lease on a date specified in such notice. Upon such date, this Lease, the estate hereby granted and all rights of Tenant hereunder shall expire and terminate. Upon such termination, Tenant shall immediately surrender and deliver possession of the Leased Premises to Landlord in accordance with Paragraph 26. If Tenant does not so surrender and deliver possession of the Leased Premises, Landlord may re-enter and repossess the Leased Premises, with or without legal process, by peaceably entering the Leased Premises and changing locks or by summary proceedings, ejectment or any other lawful means or procedure. Upon or at any time after taking possession of the Leased Premises, Landlord may, by peaceable means or legal process, remove any Persons or property therefrom. Landlord shall be under no liability for or

- 41 -



by reason of any such entry, repossession or removal. Notwithstanding such entry or repossession, Landlord may collect the damages set forth in Paragraph 23(b)(i) or 23(b)(ii).

                                            (ii)         After repossession of the Leased Premises pursuant to clause (i) above, Landlord shall have the right to relet any of the Leased Premises to such tenant or tenants, for such term or terms, for such rent, on such conditions and for such uses as Landlord in its sole discretion may determine, and collect and receive any rents payable by reason of such reletting, Landlord may make such Alterations in connection with such reletting as it may deem advisable in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding any such reletting, Landlord may collect the damages set forth in Paragraph 23(b)(ii).

                                            (iii)         Landlord may declare by notice to Tenant the entire Basic Rent (in the amount of Basic Rent then in effect) for the remainder of the then current Term to be immmediately due and payable. Tenant shall immediately pay to Landlord all such Basic Rent discounted to its Present Value, all accrued Rent then due and unpaid, all other Monetary Obligations which are then due and unpaid and all Monetary Obligations which arise or become due by reason of such Event of Default (including any Costs of Landlord). Upon receipt by Landlord of all such accelerated Basic Rent and Monetary Obligations, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect and Tenant shall have the right to possession of the Leased Premises from the date of such receipt by Landlord to the end of the Term, and subject to all the provisions of this Lease, including the obligation to pay all increases in Basic Rent and all Monetary Obligations that subsequently become due, except that (A) no Basic Rent which has been prepaid hereunder shall be due thereafter during the said Term, and (B) Tenant shall have no option to extend or renew the Term.

                           (b)         The following constitute damages to which Landlord shall be entitled if Landlord exercises its remedies under Paragraph 23(a)(i) or 23(a)(ii):

                                            (i)         If Landlord exercises its remedy under Paragraph 23(a)(i) but not its remedy under Paragraph 23(a)(ii) (or attempts to exercise such remedy and is unsuccessful in reletting the Leased Premises) then, upon written demand from Landlord, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as liquidated and agreed final damages for Tenant’s default and in lieu of all current damages beyond the date of such demand (it being agreed that it would be impracticable or extremely difficult to fix the actual damages), an amount equal to the Present Value of the excess, if any, of (A) all Basic Rent from the date of such demand to the date on which the Term is scheduled to expire hereunder in the absence of any earlier termination, reentry or repossession over (B) the then fair market rental value of the Leased Premises for the same period. Tenant shall also pay to Landlord all of Landlord’s Costs in connection with the repossession of the Leased Premises and any attempted reletting thereof, including customary brokerage commissions, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, employees’ expenses, costs of Alterations and expenses incurred in preparation for reletting.

                                            (ii)         If Landlord exercises its remedy under Paragraph 23(a)(i) or its remedies under Paragraph 23(a)(i) and 23(a)(ii), then Tenant shall, until the end of what would have been the Term in the absence of the termination of the Lease, and whether or not any of the Leased Premises shall have been relet, be liable to Landlord for, and shall pay to Landlord, as liquidated and agreed current damages all Monetary Obligations which would be payable

- 42 -



under this Lease by Tenant in the absence of such termination less the net proceeds, if any, of any reletting pursuant to Paragraph 23(a)(ii), after deducting from such proceeds all of Landlord’s Costs (including the items listed in the last sentence of Paragraph 23(b)(i) hereof) incurred in connection with such repossessing and reletting; provided, that if Landlord has not relet the Leased Premises, such Costs of Landlord shall be considered to be Monetary Obligations payable by Tenant. Tenant shall be and remain liable for all sums aforesaid, and Landlord may recover such damages from Tenant and institute and maintain successive actions or legal proceedings against Tenant for the recovery of such damages. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to require Landlord to wait to begin such action or other legal proceedings until the date when the Term would have expired by its own terms had there been no such Event of Default,

                           (c)         Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, in lieu of or in addition to any of the foregoing remedies and damages, Landlord may exercise any remedies and collect any damages available to it at law or in equity. If Landlord is unable to obtain full satisfaction pursuant to the exercise of any remedy, it may pursue any other remedy which it has hereunder or at law or in equity.

                           (d)         Landlord shall not be required to mitigate any of its damages hereunder unless and to the extent then required by applicable Law. If any Law shall validly limit the amount of any damages provided for herein to an amount which is less than the amount agreed to herein, Landlord shall be entitled to the maximum amount available under such Law.

                           (e)         No termination of this Lease, repossession or reletting of the Leased Premises, exercise of any remedy or collection of any damages pursuant to this Paragraph 23 shall relieve Tenant of any Surviving Obligations.

                           (f)         WITH RESPECT TO ANY REMEDY OR PROCEEDING OF LANDLORD OR TENANT HEREUNDER, EACH OF LANDLORD AND TENANT HEREBY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY.

                           (g)         Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Landlord shall have the right (but no obligation) to perform any act required of Tenant hereunder and, if performance of such act requires that Landlord enter the Leased Premises, Landlord may enter the Leased Premises for such purpose.

                           (h)         No failure of Landlord (i) to insist at any time upon the strict performance of any provision of this Lease or (ii) to exercise any option, right, power or remedy contained in this Lease shall be construed as a waiver, modification or relinquishment thereof. A receipt by Landlord of any sum in satisfaction of any Monetary Obligation with knowledge of the breach of any provision hereof shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach, and no waiver by Landlord of any provision hereof shall be deemed to have been made unless expressed in a writing signed by Landlord.

                           (i)         Tenant hereby waives and surrenders, for itself and all those claiming under it, including creditors of all kinds, (i) any right and privilege which it or any of them may have under any present or future Law to redeem any of the Leased Premises or to have

- 43 -



a continuance of this Lease after termination of this Lease or of Tenant’s right of occupancy or possession pursuant to any court order or any provision hereof, and (ii) the benefits of any present or future Law which exempts property from liability for debt or for distress for rent.

                           (j)         Except as otherwise provided herein, all remedies are cumulative and concurrent and no remedy is exclusive of any other remedy. Each remedy may be exercised at any time an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and may be exercised from time to time. No remedy shall be exhausted by any exercise thereof

                  24.          Notices.

                  29.          Determination of Value.

                           (a)         Whenever a determination of Fair Market Value is required pursuant to any provision of this Lease, such Fair Market Value shall be determined in accordance with the following procedure:

                                            (i)         Landlord and Tenant shall endeavor to agree upon such Fair Market Value within thirty (30) days after the date (the “Applicable Initial Date”) on which (A) Tenant provides Landlord with notice of its intention to terminate this Lease and purchase the Leased Premises pursuant to Paragraph 18, (B) Landlord provides Tenant with notice of its intention to redetermine Fair Market Value pursuant to Paragraph 20(c), or (C) Landlord provides Tenant with notice of Landlord’s intention to require Tenant to make an offer to terminate this Lease pursuant to Paragraph 23(a)(iii). Upon reaching such agreement, the parties shall execute an agreement setting forth the amount of such Fair Market Value.

                                            (ii)         If the parties shall not have signed such agreement within thirty (30) days after the Applicable Initial Date, Tenant shall within fifty (50) days after the Applicable Initial Date select an appraiser and notify Landlord in writing of the name, address and qualifications of such appraiser. Within twenty (20) days following Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s notice of the appraiser selected by Tenant, Landlord shall select an appraiser and notify Tenant of the name, address and qualifications of such appraiser. Such two appraisers shall endeavor to agree upon Fair Market Value based on a written appraisal made by each of them (and given to Landlord by Tenant) as of the Relevant Date. If such two appraisers shall agree upon a Fair Market Value, the amount of such Fair Market Value as so agreed shall be binding and conclusive upon Landlord and Tenant.

                                            (iii)         If such two appraisers shall be unable to agree upon a Fair Market Value within twenty (20) days after the selection of an appraiser by Landlord, then such appraisers shall advise Landlord and Tenant of their respective determination of Fair Market Value and shall select a third appraiser to make the determination of Fair Market Value. The selection of the third appraiser shall be binding and conclusive upon Landlord and Tenant.

                                            (iv)         If such two appraisers shall be unable to agree upon the designation of a third appraiser within ten (10) days after the expiration of the twenty (20) day

- 46 -



period referred to in clause (iii) above, or if such third appraiser does not make a determination of Fair Market Value within twenty (20) days after his selection, then such third appraiser or a substituted third appraiser, as applicable, shall, at the request of either party hereto, be appointed by the President or Chairman of the American Arbitration Association in New York, New York. The determination of Fair Market Value made by the third appraiser appointed pursuant hereto shall be made within twenty (20) days after such appointment.

                                            (v)         If a third appraiser is selected, Fair Market Value shall be the average of the determination of Fair Market Value made by the third appraiser and the determination of Fair Market Value made by the appraiser (selected pursuant to Paragraph 29(a)(ii) hereof) whose determination of Fair Market Value is nearest to that of the third appraiser. Such average shall be binding and conclusive upon Landlord and Tenant.

                                            (vi)         All appraisers selected or appointed pursuant to this Paragraph 29(a) shall (A) be independent qualified MAI appraisers (B) have no right, power or authority to alter or modify the provisions of this Lease, (C) utilize the definition of Fair Market Value hereinabove set forth above, and (D) be registered in the State if the State provides for or requires such registration. Each party shall pay the costs of its own appraiser and the cost of the third appraiser shall be split equally between Landlord and Tenant.

                           (b)         If, by virtue of any delay, Fair Market Value is not determined by the expiration or termination of the then current Term, then the date on which the Term would otherwise expire or terminate shall be extended to the date specified for termination in the particular provision of this Lease pursuant to which the determination of Fair Market Value is being made.

                           (c)         In determining Fair Market Value as defined in clause (b) of the definition of Fair Market Value, the appraisers shall add (a) the present value of the Rent for the remaining Term, assuming the Term has been extended for all extension periods provided herein (with assumed increases in the CPI to be determined by the appraisers) using a discount rate (which may be determined by an investment banker retained by each appraiser) based on the creditworthiness of Tenant and (b) the present value of the Leased Premises as of the end of such Term (having assumed the Term has been extended for all extension periods provided herein). The appraisers shall further assume that no default then exists under the Lease, that Tenant has complied (and will comply) with all provisions of the Lease.

                  30.           Non-Recourse as to Landlord. (a) Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, any claim based on or in respect of any liability of Landlord under this Lease shall be limited to actual damages and shall be enforced only against the Leased Premises and not against any other assets, properties or funds of (i) Landlord, (ii) any director, officer, member, general partner, shareholder, limited partner, beneficiary, employee or agent of Landlord or any general partner of Landlord or any of its members or general partners (or any legal representative, heir, estate, successor or assign of any thereof), (iii) any predecessor or successor partnership or corporation (or other entity) of Landlord or any of its general partners, shareholders, officers, directors, members, employees or agents, either directly or through Landlord or its general partners, shareholders, officers, directors, employees or agents or any

- 47 -



predecessor or successor partnership or corporation (or other entity), or (iv) any Person affiliated with any of the foregoing, or any director, officer, employee or agent of any thereof.

                           (b)         Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall not be precluded from instituting legal proceedings for the purpose of making a claim against Landlord on account of an alleged violation of Landlord’s obligations under this Lease, subject, however, to Paragraph 30(a) above.

                           (a)         Tenant agrees to pay (i) upon demand, all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with the purchase and leasing of the Leased Premises including, without limitation, the cost of appraisals, environmental reports, zoning reports, UCC and related searches, title insurance premiums and charges, survey costs, and the legal fees and expenses of Landlord’s counsel and (ii) within five (5) Business Days following written request from Landlord, (A) all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with the financing of the initial Loan, including without limitation, the cost of appraisals, environmental reports, zoning reports, UCC and related searches, survey costs (or the costs of updates to any of the foregoing in connection with the initial Loan, as applicable), title insurance premiums and charges, and (B) the legal fees and expenses of Landlord’s and Lender’s counsel, and “points” or commitment fees of Lender; provided that, (x) Tenant’s responsibility for the payment of points or commitment fees due Lender or the fees and expenses of Lender’s counsel shall not exceed, in the aggregate $300,000 and (y) without in any way limiting the foregoing, if there exists at any Related Premises a material Environmental Violation or a Hazardous Condition such that a Phase II Site Assessment must be performed or additional expenditures are incurred (including additional or extraordinary due diligence and the reasonable legal fees and expenses of Landlord’s and Lender’s consultant and/or counsel in connection therewith), then the cost of such Phase II Site Assessment and such additional due diligence and/or reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses shall be paid by Tenant.

                           (b)         Tenant agrees to pay, within three (3) business days of written demand therefor, any cost, charge or expense (other than the principal of the Note and interest thereon at the contract rate of interest specified therein) imposed upon Landlord by Lender pursuant to the Note, the Mortgage or the Assignment which is caused by or results from a default by Tenant under this Lease.

In particular, Tenant shall agree, upon request of Landlord, to supply any such Lender with such notices and information as Tenant is required to give to Landlord hereunder and to extend the rights of Landlord hereunder to any such Lender and to consent to such financing if such consent is requested by such Lender. Tenant shall provide any other consent or statement and shall execute any and all other documents that such Lender requires in connection with such financing, including any environmental indemnity agreement and subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement, so long as the same do not materially adversely affect any right, benefit or privilege of Tenant under this Lease or materially increase Tenant’s obligations under this Lease. Such subordination, nondisturbance

- 48 -



and attornment agreement may require Tenant to confirm that (a) Lender and its assigns will not be liable for any misrepresentation, act or omission of Landlord and (b) Lender and its assigns will not be subject to any counterclaim, demand or offset which Tenant may have against Landlord. Nothing in this Paragraph 31(c) shall be deemed to require Tenant to pay for any costs or expenses of any Loan other than the initial Loan as provided in Paragraph 31 (a) above.

                  32.          Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment.

                           (a)         This Lease and Tenant’s interest hereunder shall be subordinate to any Mortgage or other security instrument hereafter placed upon the Leased Premises by Landlord, and to any and all advances made or to be made thereunder, to the interest thereon, and all renewals, modifications, supplements, replacements and extensions thereof or thereto; provided that such subordination shall be subject to and conditioned upon Tenant’s receipt of an SNDA in recordable form duly executed by the holder of any such Mortgage or other security instrument which SNDA shall provide for the recognition of this Lease and all of Tenant’s rights hereunder, including non-disturbance and quiet enjoyment under Paragraph 4(b) hereof, unless and until an Event of Default exists beyond any applicable notice and cure period or Landlord otherwise shall have the express right to terminate this Lease pursuant to any applicable provision hereof or under applicable Law.

                           (b)         Landlord agrees that, upon the request of any Person that shall be Tenant’s senior secured lender, or a purchase money equipment lender or equipment lessor of Tenant, Landlord shall negotiate in good faith for the purpose of executing and delivering a commercially reasonable waiver of Landlord’s statutory lien rights, if any, and a consent and agreement with respect to the respective rights of Landlord and such Person regarding the security interests in, and the timing and removal of, any inventory, equipment or other collateral in which such Person has a secured interest (the “Collateral”), in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Landlord and such Person, so long as such waiver and agreement (i) provides for the indemnification of Landlord against any claims by Tenant or any Person claiming through Tenant, and against any physical damage caused to the any Related Premises, in connection with the removal of any of the Collateral by such Person, (ii) expressly excludes any claim by such Person to any right, title or interest in or to any of the Equipment as defined in this Lease, (iii) provides for a reasonable, but limited, time frame for the removal of such Collateral by such Person after the expiration of which same shall be deemed abandoned, and (iv) provides for the per diem payment of Basic Rent due hereunder by such Person for each day after the fifth (5th) business day following the date of the expiration or termination of this Lease that Landlord permits such Person’s Collateral to remain in any Related Premises.

                  33.          Tax Treatment; Reporting. Landlord and Tenant each acknowledge that each shall treat this transaction as a true lease for state law purposes and shall report this transaction as a Lease for Federal income tax purposes.

                  34.          Single Lease Transaction.

                  35.          Miscellaneous.

Each appointment of Landlord as attorney-in-fact for Tenant hereunder is irrevocable and coupled with an interest. Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold or delay its consent whenever such consent is required under this Lease, except as otherwise specifically provided herein and except that with respect to any assignment of this Lease or subletting of the Leased Premises not expressly permitted by the terms of this Lease, Landlord may withhold its consent for any reason or no reason.

EXHIBIT D

BASIC RENT PAYMENTS

                  1.         Basic Rent. Basic Rent payable in respect of the Term shall be as follows:

         A. (i) during the Renovation Term, an amount equal to (x) $871,200 per annum, payable quarterly, in advance, on each Basic Rent Payment Date, in equal installments of $217,800 each, plus (y) 8.0% (annual rate) multiplied by the weighted average of the amount of Advances made by Landlord from the Renovation Work Escrow Account for the TI Work at the Roosevelt D Premises, and (z) from and after the Roosevelt III Effective Date, 8.0% (annual rate) multiplied by the sum of (1) the purchase price component of the Acquisition Cost allocated to the Roosevelt III Premises ($13,500,000), (2) the amount of Advances made by Landlord from the Renovation Work Escrow Account for the Roosevelt III Core Work, and (3) the weighted average of the amount of Advances made by Landlord from the Renovation Work Escrow Account for TI Work attributable to the Roosevelt III Premises, in each case, based upon on the number of days each Advance is outstanding, payable monthly in arrears commencing on October 25, 2002 (the amount set forth in the foregoing sentence shall, absent manifest error, be conclusively determined from the books and records of Landlord); and

         (ii) during the Initial Term (and any Renewal Term), $3,060,000 per annum, payable quarterly, in advance, on each Basic Rent Payment Date, in equal installments of $765,000 each, subject to the adjustments provided for in Paragraphs 2, 3 and 4 below.

         B. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that the Key Rent represents a good faith estimate by the parties of the actual amount of Basic Rent that would have been due and payable by Tenant under this Lease if Tenant had commenced payment of such Basic Rent as of the Commencement Date or the date of the applicable Advance, as the case may be, in the same manner as the Roosevelt D Premises and the Supply Center Premises, instead of deferring such payment until after the occurrence of the Roosevelt III Effective Date, with respect to (i) the purchase price component of the Acquisition Cost of the Roosevelt III Premises, (ii) Advances made with respect to the Roosevelt III Core Work, and (iii) Advances made with respect to that portion of the TI Work attributable to the Roosevelt III Premises (clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) collectively, the “Accrued Rent”). In consideration of the foregoing, promptly after the occurrence of the Roosevelt III Effective Date, Landlord shall provide Tenant with an accounting reconciliation (the “Reconciliation”) with respect to the amount of Accrued Rent. If the amount of the Accrued Rent exceeds the Key Rent, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord any such deficiency within five (5) days of Tenant’s receipt of the Reconciliation, and if the Key Rent exceeds the Accrued Rent, any such overage shall be credited to Tenant against the next occurring installment of Basic Rent due under the Lease. The calculation of the amount of the Accrued Rent (including interest on the Accrued Rent at a rate of 8% per annum compounded monthly) shall, absent manifest error, be conclusively determined from the books and records of Landlord and be binding on Tenant.

                  2.         CPI Adjustments to Basic Rent. The Basic Rent shall be subject to adjustment, in the manner hereinafter set forth, for increases in the index known as United States

 



Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, Consumer Price Index, All Urban Consumers, United States City Average, All Items, (1982-84=100) (“CPI”) or the successor index that most closely approximates the CPI. If the CPI shall be discontinued with no successor or comparable successor index, Landlord and Tenant shall attempt to agree upon a substitute index or formula, but if they are unable to so agree, then the matter shall be determined by arbitration in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association then prevailing in New York City. Any decision or award resulting from such arbitration shall be final and binding upon Landlord and Tenant and judgment thereon may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. In no event will the Basic Rent as adjusted by the CPI adjustment be less than the Basic Rent in effect for the three (3) year period immediately preceding such adjustment.

                  3.         Effective Dates of CPI Adjustments. Basic Rent shall not be adjusted to reflect changes in the CPI until the third (3rd) anniversary of the Basic Rent Payment Date on which the first full monthly installment of Basic Rent during the Initial Term shall be due and payable (the “First Full Basic Rent Payment Date”). As of the third (3rd) anniversary of the First Full Basic Rent Payment Date and thereafter on the sixth (6th), ninth (9th) and twelfth (12th) and, if the Initial Term is extended, on the fifteenth (15th ), eighteenth (18th), twenty-first (21st), twenty-fourth (24th), twenty-seventh (27th), thirtieth (30th) and thirty-second (32nd) anniversaries of the First Full Basic Rent Payment Date, Basic Rent shall be adjusted to reflect increases in the CPI (on a cumulative and compounded basis), during the most recent three (3) year period immediately preceding each of the foregoing dates (each such date being hereinafter referred to as the “Basic Rent Adjustment Date”).

                  4.         Method of Adjustment for CPI Adjustment.

                           (a)         As of each Basic Rent Adjustment Date when the average CPI determined in clause (i) below exceeds the Beginning CPI (as defined in this Paragraph 4(a)), the Basic Rent in effect immediately prior to the applicable Basic Rent Adjustment Date shall be multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the difference between (i) the average CPI for the three (3) most recent calendar months (the “Prior Months”) ending prior to such Basic Rent Adjustment Date for which the CPI has been published on or before the forty-fifth (45th) day preceding such Basic Rent Adjustment Date and (ii) the Beginning CPI, and the denominator of which shall be the Beginning CPI. The product of such multiplication (on a cumulative and compounded basis) shall be added to the Basic Rent in effect immediately prior to such Basic Rent Adjustment Date. As used herein, “Beginning CPI” shall mean the average CPI for the three (3) calendar months corresponding to the Prior Months, but occurring three (3) years earlier. If the average CPI determined in clause (i) is the same or less than the Beginning CPI, the Basic Rent will remain the same for the ensuing three (3) year period.

                           (b)         Effective as of a given Basic Rent Adjustment Date, Basic Rent payable under this Lease until the next succeeding Basic Rent Adjustment Date shall be the Basic Rent in effect after the adjustment provided for as of such Basic Rent Adjustment Date.

                           (c)         Notice of the new annual Basic Rent shall be delivered to Tenant on or before the tenth (10th) day preceding each Basic Rent Adjustment Date, but any failure to do so by Landlord shall not be or be deemed to be a waiver by Landlord of Landlord’s rights to collect such sums. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, within ten (10) days after a notice of the new

 



annual Basic Rent is delivered to Tenant, all amounts due from Tenant, but unpaid, because the stated amount as set forth above was not delivered to Tenant at least ten (10) days preceding the Basic Rent Adjustment Date in question.
