provision of this Sublease, shall be resolved in each such instance in favor of the express terms, conditions and provisions of this Sublease.

demand from the Overlandlord with respect to the Subleased Premises or this Sublease, Subtenant shall promptly give a copy thereof to Sublandlord.

Subtenant shall not in any event have any rights in respect of the Subleased Premises greater than Sublandlord's rights under the Overlease, and, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, as to obligations contained in this Sublease by the incorporation by reference of the provisions of the Overlease, Sublandlord shall not be required to make any payment or perform any obligation, and Sublandlord shall have no liability to Subtenant for any matter whatsoever, except for Sublandlord's obligation to pay the rent and additional rent due under the Overlease and otherwise perform its obligations so as to prevent a default by Sublandlord under the Overlease, and for Sublandlord's obligation to use commercially reasonable efforts, upon written request of Subtenant, to cause the Overlandlord to observe and/or perform its obligations under the Overlease.

and/or expenses, including without limitation reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements incurred in connection with obtaining same.

The same shall be done with a minimum of inconvenience to Subtenant and Sublandlord shall pursue the alteration with due diligence.
5. NO BREACH OF OVERLEASE. Subtenant shall not do or permit to be done any act or thing (or fail to act in a manner), which may constitute a breach or violation of any term, covenant or condition of the Overlease by the tenant thereunder, whether or not such act or thing is permitted under the provisions of this Sublease. Except to the extent that the obligations of the tenant under the Overlease are made the responsibility of the Subtenant pursuant to the provisions of this Sublease, the Sublandlord shall not do or permit to be done any act or thing (or fail to act in a manner) which may constitute a breach or violation of any term, covenant or condition of the Overlease by the tenant thereunder.

If at any time during the Term, this Sublease shall be terminated by Sublandlord in accordance with the terms of this Sublease and/or applicable law by reason of a Subtenant breach and/or default by Subtenant with regard to (x) any monetary covenant on its part to be complied with or performed, and/or (y) any non-monetary covenant, agreement or term on its part to be complied with or performed (after expiration of applicable notice and/or grace periods), then, upon the occurrence such termination, and only upon such termination (as opposed to default and/or breach not resulting in a termination of this Sublease) that portion of the Concession Period Abatement so conditionally excused shall become immediately due and payable by Subtenant to Sublandlord. In the event that if a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that the Sublandlord unreasonably withheld its consent to alterations proposed by Subtenant or the plans and specifications therefor, and in such case the prosecution of the Tenant's Initial Alterations are delayed, then the Concession Period Abatement shall be extended by one (1) day for each day of such delay.
(ii) The Fixed Rent shall be paid to Sublandlord in equal monthly installments in advance on or before the first day of each month during the term of this Sublease, except that the first month's Fixed Rent shall be paid simultaneously with the execution hereof. Fixed Rent, Additional Rent (as hereinafter defined) and other charges payable hereunder shall be paid promptly when due, without notice or demand therefore in the case of Fixed Rent (except where Additional Rent is due in fixed monthly payments and Subtenant has been provided with a notice of such monthly amount; in which event, monthly invoices on account of such Additional Rent items shall not be necessary), and without deduction, abatement, counterclaim or set off of any amount or for any reason whatsoever, except as may be specifically provided herein. Sublandlord shall give Subtenant notice of any change in Additional Rent or other charges payable hereunder; provided, however, that failure to give such notice shall not limit Sublandlord's rights to collect Additional Rent or other charges due and payable hereunder retroactively after the giving of said notice and in no event shall failure to give such notice be deemed a waiver of Sublandlord's rights to collect such Additional Rent or other charges payable hereunder. Notwithstanding anything in this Sublease to the contrary, any claims for Fixed Rent or Additional Rent shall be made within two (2) years from the end of the Tax Year or Operating Year (as those terms are defined in the Overlease) next following the Expiration Date as presently scheduled hereunder. Sublandlord shall have the same remedies for a default in the payment of Additional Rent and other charges payable hereunder as it has for a default in the payment of Fixed Rent. If the Commencement Date or Expiration Date shall occur on a date other than the first (1St) day of a calendar month, the Fixed Rent for such month shall be pro-rated based on the number of days in such calendar month. Subtenant understands that certain items of Additional Rent are calculated based on an annual budget which is prepared by the managing agent required by the Overlease. Those budgeted items are then reconciled at the end of the year. If and to the extent that Subtenant receives a request for monthly installments of Additional Rent, Subtenant shall pay the amounts so requested and Subtenant may request reasonable supporting information with respect to such requested Additional Rent and, to the extent that such information is available to Sublandlord, Sublandlord shall make such information available to Subtenant, but such request for information shall not delay Subtenant's payment of Additional Rent as
demanded under this Sublease; to the extent that such information needs to be obtained from the Overlandlord, Sublandlord agrees to request such information from the Overlandlord but shall have no obligation or liability beyond making such request.
(B) Payment of Rent, Fixed Rent, Additional Rent and all other
charges payable hereunder shall be paid to Sublandlord in lawful money of the United States by check drawn on a bank which is a member of the New York Clearing House Association at the address of Sublandlord set forth at the head of this Sublease, or to such other person and/or at such other address as Sublandlord may from time to time designate by notice to Subtenant; or, by wire transfer to an account designated by Sublandlord in writing, from time to time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, from and after the Commencement Date and until such time as Subtenant shall receive a notice to the contrary, the Sublandlord's address for payment. of Fixed Rent and Additional Rent shall be at 2000 West Loop SOuth, Houston, Texas 77207 Attn: Controller - Accounting Department. No payment by Subtenant or receipt by Sublandlord of any lesser amount than the amount stipulated to be paid hereunder shall be deemed other than on account of the earliest stipulated Fixed Rent, Additional Rent or other charge; nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or letter be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Sublandlord may accept any check or payment from Subtenant or otherwise without prejudice to Sublandlord's right to recover the balance due or to pursue any other remedy available to Sublandlord.
1.LATE CHARGES. If payment of any Fixed Rent, Additional Rent or other charge payable by Subtenant hereunder shall not have been paid within ten (10) days after notice that such amount was due and payable hereunder (or without notice in the case of payments of Fixed Rent), a late charge of one and one-half percent (1-1/2%) per month (or the then maximum laWful interest rate, whichever shall be less) of the unpaid amount due, accrued from the date such amount was originally due and payable, shall be added to the sum due and shall be deemed Additional Rent hereunder. If Subtenant shall issue a check to Sublandlord, which is returned unpaid for any reason (other than the fault of Sublandlord), Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord an additional charge of $500.00 to defray Sublandlord's expenses in connection therewith. Nothing contained in this Article and no acceptance of late rent by Sublandlord shall be deemed to extend or change the time for payment of Fixed Rent, Additional Rent or any other charge payable hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall be entitled, once during each twelve (12) consecutive month period of the term of this Sublease, to a ten (10) day notice of late payment of Fixed Rent (after which notice and the failure to make payment within such ten [10] day period, the foregoing late charge may be assessed, with such charge accruing from the date such amount was originally due and payable) and any subsequent delinquency in the payment of Fixed Rent shall be subject to such late charge without notice.
2.ADDITIONAL RENT. The following shall constitute "Additional Rent" hereunder:
(A) Electricity. (1) Subject to the provisions of this Section 11(A),
Sublandlord agrees to furnish, or cause the Overlandlord to furnish, Subtenant with all electric current (including at least 6 watts per rentable square foot) and such other utilities and building operating services as reasonably required by Subtenant in connection with the permitted use and occupancy of the Subleased Premises. There shall be a charge to Subtenant for such electric current which shall be Three dollars ($3.00) per square foot per annum for the Term (based upon 18,267 rentable square feet), which amount is presently included in the Fixed Rent; provided that Sublandlord reserves the right, at its option, to change the manner in which electricity is charged to Subtenant, (x) by survey, in which case Subtenant shall pay an amount equal to the electric charges for the Subleased Premises suggested by such survey, or, (y) by submeter so long as
Sublandlord shall pay the cost to install such submeter, and Sublandlord shall charge Subtenant the same rate that Sublandlord pays without a markup; provided, however, if, as a result of any material alteration or addition to Subtenant's electrical equipment and/or appliances in the Subleased Premises, the cost of furnishing electric service to the Subleased Premises shall be increased, Subtenant shall be required to pay for such increased cost (and notwithstanding the foregoing, Subtenant shall pay the reasonable cost of installation of such submeter), upon a presentation of reasonable proof of such increase to Subtenant. If Sublandlord shall elect to charge Subtenant by means of survey (conducted by an electrical engineer calculating relative usage and demand compared to that of a typical professional office tenant) or submeter as contemplated in the preceding sentence, then the Fixed Rent shall be reduced by an amount equal to Three dollars ($3.00) per square foot per annum (based upon 18,267 rentable square feet).
(2) At all times during the term of this Sublease, Subtenant will comply in the Subleased Premises with all present and future rules, regulations, terms and conditions applicable to service equipment, wiring and requirements in accordance with the regulations of the public utility company supplying electric current to the Building. Subtenant shall not use any electrical equipment, which, in the reasonable discretion of Sublandlord or the discretion of the Overlandlord, will overload such installations or interfere with the use thereof by the other occupants of the Building. Subtenant covenants and agrees that at all times its use of electric current shall never exceed the capacity of the then existing feeders to the Subleased Premises or the risers or wiring installation, nor shall Subtenant use or install any fixtures, equipment or machines the use of which in conjunction with other fixtures, equipment and machines in the Building would result in an overload of the electrical circuits servicing the Building. Nothing herein shall be deemed an assurance of the continued availability from the public utility company supplying electric current to the Building of sufficient current to the Subleased Premises or that the quantity or type of current is now or shall hereafter be adequate for Subtenant's needs. Sublandlord shall in no way be liable or responsible to Subtenant for any loss or damage or expense which Subtenant may sustain or incur if either the quantity or character of electric service is changed or is no longer available or suitable for Subtenant's requirements, except if due to the negligent acts or omissions of Sublandlord. Subtenant shall furnish, install and replace, as required, all lighting tubes, lamps, bulbs and ballasts required in the Subleased Premises, at Subtenant's sole cost and expense (or upon request by Subtenant, Sublandlord will furnish, install and replace same at Subtenant's cost). All lighting tubes, lamps, bulbs and ballasts so installed shall become Sublandlord's property upon the expiration or sooner termination of this Sublease.
(3) If any taxes or charges are or shall be imposed upon Sublandlord or its agent in connection with the sale or resale of electrical energy to Subtenant pursuant to this Section 11(A), Subtenant covenants and agrees that, where permitted by law, such taxes or charges allocable to the Subleased Premises shall be passed on to Subtenant and paid by Subtenant to Sublandlord or its agent upon demand, as Additional Rent, without set-off or deduction. Sublandlord shall deliver a copy of the relevant tax bill upon written request by Subtenant.
(B) Real Estate Taxes. (1) As Additional Rent hereunder, for each.
Tax Year (as hereinafter defined) commencing as of July 1, 2005 and continuing for the balance of the Term, Subtenant covenants and agrees to pay to Sublandlord, Subtenant's Percentage (as hereinafter defined) of the amount by which Taxes (as defined in the Overlease, but as modified by Subsection 11(b)(4) below) exceeds Taxes, as finally determined, for the time period from July 1, 2004 to and including June 30, 2005 (such time period referred to herein as the "Base Year"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Subleased Premises are not delivered to Subtenant by April 1, 2005 in the condition required herein, then the Base Year shall be July 1,
2005 to and including June 30, 2006. For purposes of Section 11(B) of this Sublease, the term "Subtenant's Percentage" shall mean with respect to Taxes, Eight and Twenty-Seven One Hundredths (8.27%) percent of such Taxes. Subtenant's Percentage is calculated based on an agreed rentable square footage for the Subleased Premises of 18,267 and an agreed rentable square footage for the entire Building of 221,000.
(2) All amounts due to Sublandlord pursuant to Section 11 (B)(1) shall be paid by Subtenant in the same manner based upon the same proof and shall otherwise be subject to the same provisions as set forth in Article 3 of the Overlease.
(3) If the Expiration Date shall occur on a date other than June 30, any Additional Rent due under this Section 11(B) for the Tax Year in which such Expiration Date shall occur shall be apportioned on a per diem basis. In the event of termination of this Sublease, any Additional Rent due under this Section 11(B) shall be paid or adjusted within thirty (30) days of Sublandlord's statement to Subtenant. Subtenant shall be entitled to its proportionate share of any refunds (less its proportionate share of reasonable expenses), if any. For the purposes of this Sublease, "Tax Year" shall mean the fiscal year from July 1 to June 30. Sublandlord shall deliver a copy of the relevant statement of expenses upon written request by Subtenant; further, Sublandlord shall also provide Subtenant with reasonable proof of Base Year Taxes upon written request by Subtenant.
(4) Sublandlord hereby represents to Subtenant that (i) the Building is affected by two separate Industrial Commercial Incentive Program ("ICIP") abatements; one in the amount of $15,300,000, and one in the amount of $1,800,000, and (ii) such ICIP benefits were granted and began at different times (i.e. - to Sublandlord's knowledge one year apart), however, each respectively provides an eight (8) year abatement against the Building's assessment in the full amount of the respective ICIP abatement with each such abatement phasing out 20% per year beginning in the ninth year. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Sublease, in calculating Subtenant's Percentage of Taxes for the entire Term of the. Sublease, the Sublandlord shall calculate Subtenant's Percentage of Taxes in a manner which shall assume that each of such ICIP benefit grants has not phased out. In other words, (a) at all times including time during which the ICIP abatements phase out and/or when either or both have fiilly phased out, in calculating the amount to be paid by Subtenant on account of Subtenant's Percentage of Taxes, the full amount of the initial ICIP benefit grants (i.e. $17,100,000) shall be deducted from the then assessed value of the Building used to calculate the actual tax bill for the applicable fiscal tax period before applying the then applicable tax rate (and then multiplying by 0.0827, representing application of Subtenant's Percentage); and (b) Subtenant's Percentage of increases in Taxes above the Base Year shall not be affected by the loss of any ICIP benefits or abatements. Subtenant shall have the right (but not the obligation) to dispute Sublandlord's determination of Subtenant's Percentage of increases in Taxes above the Base Year upon written notice to Sublandlord within ninety (90) days of Sublandlord's determination of such amount, provided, however, the only basis on which Subtenant may bring such challenge is that the Sublandlord made a mathematical error in making the calculation, it being intended that the Subtenant shall not have the right to challenge (i) the percentage used in calculating Subtenant's Percentage of Taxes, (ii) the amount of the Taxes for the Base Year or (iii) the amount of the Taxes for any period after the Base Year.
(C) [Intentionally Deleted].
(D) Additional Charges. (1) Subtenant, at its sole cost and expense,
shall pay any reasonable costs, charges, or other sums relating to, or incurred in connection with, Subtenant's use of the Subleased Premises and the providing of services in respect thereof (other than those services to be provided as expressly set forth herein or incorporated by reference in this Sublease - i.e. by way of illustration but not limitation extraordinary cleaning requirements, use of freight elevator other than as contemplated for move-in and move-out, overtime porter services), whether such sums are payable pursuant to the Overlease or the rules and regulations of the Building or otherwise. Any such additional charges shall be due and payable to Sublandlord within twenty (20) days of written demand. On request from Subtenant, Sublandlord will provide evidence reasonably adequate to substantiate the amounts demanded from Subtenant to the extent that such information is made available to Sublandlord from the managing agent for the Building of whom Sublandlord shall make demand and use commercially reasonable efforts to secure performance, provided, however, the request for such information shall not entitle the Subtenant to delay payment of any amounts of Additional Rent demanded by Sublandlord. Any mistakes in the calculation of the amount to be reimbursed, or any overpayment or underpayment, shall be reconciled promptly after receipt of any relevant information with any appropriate credit to Subtenant or amounts owed to Sublandlord to be made against the next installment(s) of Rent, in the case of a credit, or paid to Sublandlord within thirty (30) days of such reconciliation. In the event that the Subtenant is entitled to a credit against the Rent as described in the immediately preceding sentence and the amount of the credit exceeds the balance of the installments of Rent remaining under this Sublease, then any such excess shall be paid to Subtenant within thirty (30) days of such reconciliation.
(1)
(2)Subtenant's liability for the amounts due under this Article 11 with respect to the Term of this Sublease shall survive the expiratidn or sootier termination of this Sublease.
(3)In no event shall any adjustment of the payment made or to be made on account of the Additional Rent pursuant to this Article 11 result in a decrease in Fixed Rent, it being agreed that the payment of Additional Rent is an obligation supplemental to the obligation to pay Fixed Rent.
(4)Sublandlord's failure during the term of this Sublease to prepare and/or deliver, or any error made by Sublandlord in the preparation of, any statements or bills, or Sublandlord's failure to make a demand, under this Article 11, or any other provision of this Sublease, shall not in any way be deemed to be a waiver of, or cause Sublandlord to forfeit or surrender, its rights to collect any portion of Additional Rent or other charges which may have become due pursuant to this Sublease during the term of this Sublease.
(5)Subtenant shall pay (or reimburse Sublandlord if the same are levied against Sublandlord) before delinquency, any occupancy or rent tax which is required by law to be paid by a "tenant" or "other occupant" with respect to this Sublease or the Subleased Premises. If Subtenant is not required to pay such occupancy or rent tax, Subtenant shall pay (or reimburse Sublandlord if the same are levied against Sublandlord) before delinquency, Subtenant's proportionate share of any occupancy or rent tax which Sublandlord is required to pay with respect to the Overlease and attributable to the Subleased Premises, provided such amount payable is not in excess of the tax payable solely with respect to the Fixed Rent, Additional Rent and other charges payable under this Sublease. Subtenant shall also pay (or reimburse Sublandlord if the same are levied against Sublandlord) before delinquency, any and all ad valorem or other taxes, assessments, license fees and public charges levied or assessed against Subtenant's business in the Subleased Premises, Subtenant's fixtures, furnishings, furniture, equipment, supplies, signs, and any other personal property of Subtenant therein and the Leased Furniture.
(6)Sublandlord shall provide central mail services in the Building for mail distribution throughout the Building including the Subleased Premises. All deliveries to Subtenant must be made through the 4151 Street delivery entrance and made in compliance with Sublandlord's reasonable rules and regulations thereto. Sublandlord reserves the right to designate a different entrance for deliveries. All deliveries and mail addressed to Subtenant shall be sorted and delivered in the Building's central mailroom and delivered to Subtenant in accordance with Sublandlord's normal mailroom practices and procedures. Subtenant shall be permitted to use the Buildings central mailroom for Subtenant's outgoing mail and such actual postal charges shall be billed directly to Subtenant (unless previously stamped with postage upon deposit with mailroom).
(7)Subtenant shall make arrangements to be billed directly for all utilities servicing the Subleased Premises (with the exception of electricity, which is dealt with elsewhere in this Sublease, and water, heat, air conditioning and ventilation utilized during business hours).
(8)Subtenant shall be required to use the Sublandlord's security system, at no cost or expense, except for reasonable processing costs for keycards and/or maintenance.
(9)Subtenant's use of heating, ventilation and air conditioning during the business hours between 8:00 am and 7:00 pm on Business Days shall be included in Subtenant's Fixed Rent, provided, however, if Subtenant uses heating, ventilation and air conditioning at other times and/or other days, the direct costs thereof shall be Subtenant's responsibility. Sublandlord shall cause such services to be provided at all other times during the respective seasons therefor, other than 8:00am to 7:00pm on Business Days, provided Subtenant actually provides Sublandlord or a representative of Sublandlord designated for such purpose reasonable advance notice. If more than one tenant/subtenant requires and receives after-hours heating, ventilation and air conditioning, and there is concurrent use of elements of the heating, ventilation and air conditioning system as between Subtenant and such other user(s), the costs of such services shall be shared pro-rata between Subtenant and such tenant/subtenant. [Apparently, some or all of the elements of your HVAC system are for your exclusive use. Hence, the need for the revision.]
12 CONDITION OF SUBLEASED PREMISES. Subtenant acknowledges that it has had the opportunity to examine and inspect the Building and the building services and systems, the entire Subleased Premises and the furniture and fixtures therein and is fully familiar with the physical condition thereof. Subtenant agrees that Subtenant is leasing the Subleased Premises and the furniture (if any) and fixtures therein "as is", and that Sublandlord is not required to perform any work or expend any monies (other than as set forth in Paragraph 42 hereof) in order to make the Subleased Premises ready for Subtenant's occupancy. In making and executing this Sublease, Subtenant acknowledges that, other than as may be specifically set forth in this Sublease, Sublandlord has not made and does not make any representations or warranties as to the Building, the building services and systems, the air quality of the Building or the Subleased Premises, the physical condition of the Subleased Premises or fixtures therein and that Subtenant has relied solely on such investigations, examinations and inspections as Subtenant has chosen to make or has made.
13 CONSENTS AND APPROVALS. In any instance when Sublandlord's consent or approval is required under this Sublease, Sublandlord's refusal to consent to or approve any matter or thing shall be deemed reasonable if, inter alia, such consent or approval has not been obtained from the Overlandlord and, provided that Sublandlord shall otherwise be willing to
grant such consent or approval, Sublandlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts (which shall not include the requirement to pay costs, fees, expenses or expend sums, except to the extent specifically provided for in the Overlease; in which event, Subtenant shall pay same) to obtain the consent of the Overlandlord if such consent or approval is required under the Overlease. Sublandlord's failure to notify Subtenant of whether it will or will not consent to or approve any such matter or thing within the applicable time limits, if any, will not
be deemed unduly delayed if, inter alia, such notification has not been received from the Overlandlord within such time limits and Sublandlord shall have used commercially reasonable efforts to obtain Overlandlord's consent as required herein. Except as expressly provided above, Sublandlord shall have no obligation to take any action or incur any cost or expense to compel the Overlandlord to consent to any matter or thing under the Overlease or as to this Sublease. In the event that Subtenant shall seek the approval by or consent of Sublandlord and Sublandlord shall fail or refuse to give such consent, except in instances wherein Sublandlord is adjudicated to have acted in bad faith (and such adjudication is final and no longer appealable), Subtenant shall not be entitled to any damages or abatement for any withholding or delay of such approval or consent by Sublandlord, it being agreed that Subtenant's sole remedy shall be an action for injunction or specific performance and that said remedy of an action for injunction or specific performance shall be available only in those cases where Sublandlord shall have expressly agreed in writing not to unreasonably withhold or delay its consent. Except in those instances in this Sublease wherein Sublandlord has expressly agreed not to unreasonably withhold or delay its consent, Sublandlord shall be entitled to grant or withhold its consent in its sole and absolute discretion. Except as otherwise provided herein, in the event of Sublandlord's failure to respond to a request for consent or approval within thirty (30) days of such request and the failure of Sublandlord to respond within ten (10) days of a second request for such consent or approval given after such thirty (30) day period (which second notice shall state in boldfaced type that it is a second notice and that failure to respond shall constitute consent or approval) then Sublandlord's consent or approval for the particular matter at issue shall be deemed to be given; provided, however, the foregoing shall not abrogate the need for the Overlandlord's consent in those instances where the Overlandlord's consent is necessary.
14. NOTICES. All notices, consents, approvals, demands and requests
("Notices") which are required or desired to be given by either party to the other hereunder shall be in writing and shall be either delivered by hand, sent by recognized national overnight mail or courier service, or sent by United States registered or certified mail and deposited in a United States post office, return receipt requested and postage prepaid (except that rent notices may be sent by regular mail).

to them shall be addressed and sent as aforesaid, by designating such other names and/or addresses in a notice given in accordance with the provisions of this Article.
15 TERMINATION OF OVERLEASE. If for any reason the term of the Overlease shall terminate prior to the Expiration Date of this Sublease, this Sublease shall thereupon be terminated and Sublandlord shall not be liable to Subtenant by reason thereof; provided, however, that Sublandlord shall have the right to terminate the Overlease or consent to terminate the Overlease only so long as the Overlandlord shall permit Subtenant to remain in occupancy of the Subleased Premises pursuant to the then-executory provisions of this Sublease, except in those instances under the Overlease where the Overlease terminates by virtue of fire or other casualty or condemnation or taking in lieu thereof. If for any other reason the term of the Overlease shall terminate prior to the Expiration Date of this Sublease, this Sublease shall thereupon be terminated and Sublandlord shall not be liable to Subtenant by reason thereof unless (1) Subtenant is not in default in any of its obligations hereunder beyond any applicable grace or cure period therefor, and (ii) said termination shall have been effected because of the breach or default of Sublandlord under the Overlease. If pursuant to any provision of the Overlease the tenant thereunder shall have the right to terminate the Overlease prior to the expiration date of this Sublease, then Subtenant shall not have the right to terminate this Sublease solely by reason of such provision incorporated by reference herein. If pursuant to any provision of the Overlease as presently in effect the landlord thereunder shall have the right to terminate the Overlease prior to the Expiration Date of this Sublease, then, unless the Overlandlord shall elect to terminate the Overlease pursuant to such provision, Sublandlord shall not have the right to terminate this Sublease by reason of such provision incorporated by reference herein. If the Overlandlord shall elect to terminate the Overlease pursuant to any such provision,' Sublandlord shall promptly give notice thereof to Subtenant, and thii Sublease shall thereupon terminate on the date set forth in such notice with the same effect as if such date were the last day of the term of this Sublease, except as hereinafter provided. Subtenant agrees that in the event of a termination, re-entry or dispossess by Overlandlord under the terms of the Overlease, Overlandlord may, at its option, take over all of the right, title and interest of Sublandlord as Sublandlord hereunder, and, in such event, Subtenant shall, at the option of Overlandlord, atom to Overlandlord pursuant to the then-executory provisions of this Sublease.
16 ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING. (a) Subtenant shall not, by operation of law or otherwise, assign, sell, mortgage, pledge or in any manner transfer this Sublease or any interest therein, or sublet the Subleased Premises or any part or parts thereof, or grant any concession or license or otherwise permit occupancy of all or any part of the Subleased Premises by any person other than Subtenant without the consent of Sublandlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to the applicable provisions of the Overlease, if any, without the consent of Sublandlord but with 10 days prior written notice to Sublandlord before the effective date of such transaction, and provided that the assignee of this Sublease or a sub-subtenant of the Subleased Premises or a portion thereof (which portion shall contain no less than 5,000 rentable square feet), or the successor by merger shall have a tangible net worth (determined in accordance with GAAP) equal or greater than $10,000,000.00, Subtenant may (i) assign this Sublease or Sublet the entire Subleased Premises to (x) an affiliate, or (y) the purchaser of all or substantially all of the assets or beneficial ownership interests in Subtenant, or (ii) merge with another entity. No such assignment or sub-subletting shall serve to release the Subtenant, and no such assignment shall be deemed effective unless and until the assignee shall have executed and delivered a written assumption of the Subtenant's obligations under this Sublease for the benefit of Sublandlord, which assumption shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Sublandlord (in the case of a merger, Sublandlord may require a written
acknowledgement that the successor by merger is obligated for all of Subtenant's obligations hereunder by operation of law or otherwise).
(b) If Subtenant shall desire to assign its interest in this Sublease or to sub-
sublet all or a portion of the Subleased Premises Subtenant shall submit to Sublandlord a written request for Sublandlord's consent to such assignment or subletting, which request shall be accompanied by the following information: (1) the name and address of the proposed assignee or sub-subtenant; (ii) the terms and conditions of the proposed assignment or sub-subletting; (iii) the nature and character of the business of the proposed assignee or sub-subtenant and its proposed use of the Subleased Premises; and (iv) current financial information and any other information Sublandlord may reasonably request with respect to the proposed assignee or sub-subtenant.
Should Subtenant request that Sublandlord consent to an assignment of this Sublease or sub-subletting of all or a portion of the Subleased Premises, any such request shall create an option for the benefit of Sublandlord to terminate this Sublease as to all the Subleased Premises with regard to a requested assignment or with regard to a requested sub-subletting of all of the Subleased Premises; with regard to a sub-subletting of less than all of the Subleased Premises, Sublandlord at its sole option may terminate this Sublease only as to the portion of the Subleased Premises to be covered by such sub-sublease or the whole of the Subleased Premises. Any such termination option shall be exercised by Sublandlord in writing within 30 days of receipt of Subtenant's written request to assign or sub-sublet. If Sublandlord elects to exercise its option to terminate with regard to all or portion of the Subleased Premises, such termination shall be effective upon the proposed effective date of the assignment or sub,subletting (but if such proposed effective date is more than 180 days after the request, then such termination shall nevertheless be effective on such 180th day); provided, if Subtenant's proposed effective date is less than 30 days after delivery to Sublandlord of the written request to assign or sub-sublet, then the effective date for a termination if exercised by Sublandlord shall be 30 days after delivery of Subtenant's request. If Sublandlord shall exercise its option to recapture and terminate with regard to less than the entirety of the Subleased Premises, rent due from and after the termination shall be adjusted as follows: Fixed Rent shall be reduced by an amount equal to a fraction, the numerator of which is the rentable square footage of the space recaptured and the denominator of which is 18,267 square feet (or, if a portion of the Subleased Premises was previously recaptured, the rentable square foot area of the . Subleased Premises at such time); and, payments of Additional Rent based upon "Subtenant's Percentage" shall be adjusted to an amount equal to a fraction, the numerator of which is the difference between 18,267 square feet (or, if a portion of the Subleased Premises was previously recaptured, the rentable square foot area of the Subleased Premises at such time) and the rentable square footage recaptured, and the denominator of which is the rentable square footage of the Building. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the right of recapture provided for under this Subsection 16(b) shall not apply to a transaction for which Sublandlord's consent is not necessary pursuant to the second to last sentence of Subsection 16(a) of this Sublease.
(c) In event Sublandlord does not exercise its right of recapture pursuant to
Section 16(b) above, Sublandlord shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent to a proposed assignment or sub-subletting for the use(s) permitted in this Sublease, provided that:
(1)Subtenant shall not then be in default hereunder beyond the expiration of any applicable notice and/or grace period;
(2) | the proposed assignee or sub-subtenant shall have a financial standing, be of a |
character, be engaged in a business, and propose to use the Subleased Premises, in a manner in keeping with the standards of the Building and the terms and provisions of the Overlease, provided, however, that if the proposed assignee or sublessee has a tangible net worth of $10,000,000 or more, then the financial standing of the assignee or sublessee shall not be a basis on which the Sublandlord may withhold its consent;
(1)the proposed assignee or sub-subtenant shall not then be a subtenant, sub-subtenant or assignee for any space in the Building, nor shall the proposed assignee or sub-subtenant be a person or entity with whom Sublandlord is then actively negotiating to sublease space in the Building, in each case if the Sublandlord has space available in the Building to sublease that is suitable and meets the criteria of such proposed subtenant or assignee;
(4) the character of the business to be conducted in the Subleased Premises by the proposed assignee or sub-subtenant shall not be likely to substantially increase or burden the heating and ventilation system or other services or systems in the Building;
(5) in case of a sub-subletting, the sub-subtenant shall be expressly subject to all of the obligations of Subtenant under this Sublease and the further condition and restriction that such sublease shall not be assigned, encumbered or otherwise transferred or the Subleased Premises further sub-sublet by the sub-subtenant in whole or in part, or any part thereof suffered or permitted by the sub-subtenant to be used or occupied by others, without the prior written consent of Sublandlord in each instance (subject, however, to the other provisions of this Sublease);
(6) no subletting shall end later than one (1) day before the Expiration Date nor shall any subletting be for a term of less than one (1) year unless it commences less than one (1) year before the Expiration Date;
(7) in the reasonable judgment of Sublandlord, the proposed assignee or sub-subtenant shall have the financial ability to perform the terms of the Sublease or the proposed sub-sublease, as applicable, subject to the provisions of Section 16 ( c) (2);
(8) the proposed assignee or sub-subtenant shall not be a direct business competitor of the Sublandlord or its Affiliates which are then occupying space in the Building provided such restriction shall only relate to the existing lines of business of Sublandlord and its Affiliates on the date hereof; provided, however, an assignment or sub-sublease to a person or entity in the same line of business as the Subtenant named herein shall be permitted provided that such assignee or sub-subtenant is otherwise acceptable as provided herein; and
(9) Subtenant shall reimburse Sublandlord on demand for any reasonable out-of-pocket costs, in the nature of attorneys' fee and disbursements that may be incurred by Sublandlord in connection with said assignment or sub-sublease.
The failure of Sublandlord to reply to a request under this Subsection 16(c) within thirty (30) days of Sublandlord's receipt of a written request hereunder shall be deemed Sublandlord's consent to such sub-sublease or assignment provided that Subtenant shall receive no response within three (3) Business Days of Sub landlord's receipt of a second notice notifying Sublandlord that it has failed to timely respond within the initial thirty (30) day period (as it may be extended as hereinafter provided in the case of a request for additional information), and making specific reference to this Subsection and the fact that Sublandlord's failure to respond within such three (3) Business Day period shall be deemed consent hereunder. Further, if after receipt of a request hereunder, Sublandlord shall make a reasonable request for additional relevant information or
proof or information that is otherwise required to be provided pursuant to the terms of this Subsection, but was not provided in full, such initial thirty (30) day period shall not be deemed to run until such additional information has been received by Sublandlord, provided that Sublandlord made timely request for such information.
(d) Subtenant shall deliver to Sublandlord a copy of each sub-sublease or assignment made hereunder within ten (10) days after the date of its execution. Subtenant shall remain fully liable for the performance of all of Subtenant's obligations hereunder notwithstanding any sub-subletting or assignment provided for herein and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, shall remain fully responsible and liable to Sublandlord for all acts and omissions of any sub-subtenant; assignee or anyone claiming by, through or under any sub-subtenant or assignee which shall be in violation of any of the obligations of this Sublease, and any such violation shall be deemed to be a violation by Subtenant. Notwithstanding any assignment and assumption by the assignee of the obligations of Subtenant hereunder, Subtenant, and each immediate or remote successor in interest of Subtenant, shall remain liable jointly and severally (as a primary obligor) with its assignee and all subsequent assignees for the performance of Subtenant's obligations hereunder, and shall remain fully and directly responsible and liable to Sublandlord for all acts and omissions on the part of any assignee subsequent to it in violation of any of the obligations of this Sublease.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Sublease, no assignment of Subtenant's interest in this Sublease shall be binding upon Sublandlord unless the assignee shall execute and deliver to Sublandlord an agreement whereby such assignee agrees unconditionally to be bound by and to perform all of the obligations of Subtenant hereunder from and after the effective date of such assignment and further expressly agrees that notwithstanding such assignment the provisions of this Section 16 shall continue to be binding upon such assignee with respect to all future assignments and transfers. Every sub-subletting hereunder is subject to the express condition, and by accepting a sub-sublease hereunder each sub-subtenant shall be conclusively deemed to have agreed, that if this Sublease should be terminated prior to the Expiration Date or if Sublandlord should succeed to Subtenant's estate in the Subleased Premises, then at Sublandlord's election such sub-subtenant shall either surrender the Subleased Premises to Sublandlord within thirty (30) days of Sublandlord's request therefor, or shall attom to and recognize Sublandlord as such sub-subtenant's sub-sublandlord under such sub-sublease, and such sub-subtenant shall promptly execute and deliver any instrument Sublandlord may reasonably request to evidence such attornment.
(f) In the event that Subtenant fails to execute and deliver any assignment or sublease to which Sublandlord consented under the provisions of this Section 16 within one hundred twenty (120) days after the giving of such consent, then Subtenant shall again comply with all of the provisions of this Section 16 before assigning its interest in this Sublease or sub-subletting the Subleased Premises.
(g) The consent of Sublandlord to an assignment or a sub-subletting shall not relieve Subtenant from obtaining the express consent in writing of Sublandlord to any further assignment or sub-subletting; nor act in derogation of Sublandlord's rights pursuant to Section 16(b) hereof.
(h) If Subtenant's interest in this Sublease be assigned, or if the Subleased Premises or any part thereof be sub-sublet or occupied by anyone other than Subtenant, Sublandlord may collect rent from the assignee, sub-subtenant or occupant and apply the net amount collected to all Fixed Rent and Additional Rent herein reserved, but no such assignment,
sub-subletting, occupancy or collection shall be deemed a waiver of the provisions of this Section 16 or of any default hereunder or the acceptance of the assignee, sub-subtenant or occupant as Subtenant, or a release of Subtenant from the further observance or performance by Subtenant of all of the covenants, conditions, terms and provisions on the part of Subtenant to be performed or observed under and pursuant to this Sublease.
(i) When permitted hereunder (if at all) and/or after obtaining Sublandlord's prior written consent, if Subtenant shall receive any consideration from its assignee, sub-subtenant or licensee for or in connection with the assignment of Subtenant's interest in this Sublease or the sub-subletting or occupancy of all or any part of the Subleased Premises, as the case may be (excluding sums paid for the sale or rental of Subtenant's equipment, furniture or other personal property to the extent such sale price or rental represents fair market value), or if Subtenant shall sub-sublet or otherwise permit occupancy of the Subleased Premises at a rental rate (including Additional Rent) or other periodic consideration (calculated on a per square foot basis) which shall exceed the Fixed Rent and Additional Rent then payable hereunder (calculated on a per square foot basis), Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord, at Sublandlord's sole option, as Additional Rent hereunder, one-half of such excess consideration received by Subtenant or paid on its account. For the purpose of determining whether there is any excess consideration being paid with regard to any such assignment or sublet, Subtenant may deduct its reasonable out-of-pocket costs for commercially reasonable brokerage commissions, commercially reasonable costs of alterations, marketing and construction paid on account of such assignment or subletting and reasonable attorneys' fees and any other reasonable fees incurred in connection therewith as amortized over the term of the subject sub-sublease, or in the case of an assignment, over the balance of the Term of this Sublease.
(j) In no event shall Subtenant publicly market the Subleased Premises for assignment or sub-sublease at rates lower than those then being offered by Sublandlord for comparable space in the Building.
17. INSURANCE.
(A) Insurance Policies. Subtenant shall maintain throughout the
Term of this Sublease commercial general liability insurance on an occurrence basis in respect of the Subleased Premises and the conduct and operation of business therein, with Sublandlord and the Overlandlord named as additional insured, with limits of Five Million and 00/100 ($5,000,000.00) Dollars combined single limit for bodily injury or death or for property damage, including water damage legal liability, arising out of any one occurrence or accident. Subtenant shall also obtain casualty insurance covering all tenant improvements, furniture, fixtures, furnishings, business equipment and contents of the Subleased Premises, including without limitation, the furniture systems owned by Sublandlord and made available for Subtenant's use as more fully set forth herein, to the extent of their full insurable value and with a replacement cost endorsement. Subtenant shall deliver to Sublandlord a policy or certificate of insurance prior to the Commencement Date, and the Sublandlord and the Overlandlord shall be named as an additional insured with respect to the policies of liability insurance required hereunder and Sublandlord shall be named as an additional insured with respect to the casualty insurance policy required to be maintained. Subtenant shall procure and pay for renewals of such insurance from time to time before the expiration thereof, and Subtenant shall deliver to Sublandlord and the Overlandlord such renewal policy or certificate of insurance at least thirty (30) days before the expiration of any existing policy. All such policies shall be issued by reputable companies
licensed to do business in the State of New York which are reasonably acceptable to Sublandlord, and all such policies shall contain a provision whereby the same cannot be canceled unless Sublandlord and the Overlandlord are given at least thirty (30) days' prior written notice of such cancellation or modification. Such policies shall be reasonably satisfactory to Sublandlord and Sublandlord may require that the limits of liability on the commercial general liability policy required hereunder be increased from time to time, but not more frequently than every three (3) years .to an amount which is reasonably satisfactory to Sublandlord and which is consistent with that required of tenants in comparable first class office buildings in the Times Square area of New York City (i.e. 3 and 5 Times Square),
(B) Releases.

Sublandlord or its successors or assigns hereunder of Sublandlord's interest in the Security Letter delivered by Subtenant pursuant to this Section 29, Subtenant shall be solely liable to pay any transfer fees charged by the issuing bank to Sublandlord or the transferee in connection with any such transfer of the Security Letter, as Additional Rent hereunder, within twenty (20) days after delivery to Subtenant of an invoice therefor.

entitled to a portion of the security deposit or to draw on and keep all or a portion of the proceeds of a Security Letter as a result of the occurrence of an event of default or breach under the terms of this Sublease (beyond applicable notice and/or grace periods), in the event of the bankruptcy of the Sublandlord, the remaining security deposit or Security Letter, as the case may be, shall not be deemed a part of the estate in bankruptcy. Nothing contained in this Subsection 29 (e) shall serve to abrogate, modify or limit the Sublandlord's right to use, apply and/or retain such security in the absence of a bankruptcy by Sublandlord (or to the extent Sublandlord was entitled to all or a portion of such security immediately prior to commencement of a bankruptcy proceeding).
(g) As additional security for the payment and performance of Subtenant's
obligations hereunder, Subtenant is providing a guaranty from Quince Associates, LP (the "Guarantor") in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C and made a part hereof.

Sublandlord has not and does not now make any representations or warranties, express or implied, with regard to the Leased Furniture and the Subtenant agrees to accept same in its present "as is" condition, subject to ordinary wear and tear between the date hereof and the Commencement Date. Subtenant shall not dismantle and/or remove the furniture provided hereunder except with Sublandlord's consent (and if consent is so granted the same shall be stored and insured as reasonably required by Sublandlord at Subtenant's cost and expense); provided, however, if within sixty (60) days of the full execution and delivery of this Sublease, Subtenant shall request that not more than 10% of the furniture be removed, the same shall be stored or disposed of at Sublandlord's cost and expense (in which event, Subtenant will not have an obligation to return or maintain such furniture during the term; nor will Sublandlord have an obligation to reinstall it). Sublandlord shall not have any obligation to remove and store Leased Furniture during the prosecution of the Initial Alterations, except for the furniture which Subtenant may request to be permanently removed as provided in the immediately preceding sentence.

Such notice by Sublandlord shall be given within 45 days of the Casualty. If Subtenant elects to terminate under this provision, this Sublease shall terminate on the date of the occurrence of the Casualty as the effective date of termination. Within 30 days of the date that Subtenant has delivered the foregoing notice of termination, Subtenant shall vacate and surrender possession of the Sublease Premises, Fixed Rent, Additional Rent and other amounts payable under this Sublease shall be prorated as of such effective date and the parties shall have no further obligations hereunder.

It is understood that the foregoing contribution shall not be forfeited simply because there may be a default of Subtenant's obligations under the Sublease, but the right to receipt of any portion of the contribution shall be suspended until such default is cured; in the event that such default is not cured within the applicable grace or cure period, then, in addition to all of the other rights and remedies provided for herein, the right to such contribution shall be forfeited. Subtenant shall pay all costs of the Initial Alterations in excess of Sublandlord's Contribution. Sublandlord's Contribution shall be payable solely on account of labor directly related to the Initial Alterations and materials delivered to the Subleased Premises in connection with the Initial Alterations (excluding any "soft costs" and Subtenant's movable personal property), except that Subtenant may apply up to 10% of Sublandlord's Contribution to pay "soft costs" incurred in connection with the Initial Alterations, which shall be limited to the actual architectural, consulting and engineering fees incurred by Subtenant in connection therewith. Subtenant shall not be entitled to receive any portion of Sublandlord's Contribution not actually expended by Subtenant in the performance of the Initial Alterations, nor shall Subtenant have any right to apply any unexpended portion of Sublandlord's Contribution as a credit against FixedRent, Additional Rent or any other obligation of Subtenant hereunder. Upon the completion of the Initial Alterations and satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this Section 42, or upon the occurrence of the date which is 12 months after the Commencement Date, whichever first occurs, any amount of Sublandlord's Contribution which has not been previously disbursed shall be retained by Landlord; provided, however, the applicable portion of such retained amounts shall continue to be held for the benefit of Subtenant by Sublandlord if Subtenant delivers a notice to Sublandlord prior to satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this Section 42 that it is in dispute with any contractors, subcontractors, vendors or other providers of service and refuses to make payments at such time or if any contracts provide for retainage which has not then been finally paid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a default by Subtenant under this Sublease, and as long as the guaranty of the Guarantor remains in full force and effect, the Sublandlord shall make the Sublandlord's Contribution available to Guarantor for the
completion of the Initial Alterations otherwise in accordance with the conditions to disbursement of the Sublandlord's Contribution as provided in this Sublease despite such default, and if the Sublandlord has terminated this Sublease or regained possession of the Subleased Premises by virtue of such default, then the Guarantor shall have a license to enter the Subleased Premises for the sole purpose of completing such Initial Alterations.
(b) Sublandlord shall make progress payments to Subtenant on a monthly basis, for the work performed during the previous month, up to 90% of Sublandlord's Contribution in accordance with the succeeding provisions of this Section. Each of Sublandlord's progress payments shall be limited to an amount equal to the aggregate amounts theretofore paid by Subtenant (as certified by the chief financial officer of Subtenant and by Subtenant's independent architect) to Subtenant's contractors, subcontractors and material suppliers which have not been subject to previous progress payment disbursements from Sublandlord's Contribution multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is 90% of the amount of Sublandlord's Contribution, and the denominator of which is the total contract price (or, if there is no specified or fixed contract price for the Initial Alterations, then Sublandlord's reasonable estimate thereof), plus total soft costs for the performance of all of the Initial Alterations shown on all plans and specifications approved by Sublandlord, provided that in no event shall such fraction be greater than one. The 10% of the Sublandlord's contribution is hereinafter sometimes called the "Retainage". Requests for progress payments shall be processed no more frequently than monthly and shall be paid within 30 days next following the delivery to Sublandlord of said request therefor, signed by the chief financial officer of Subtenant, and accompanied by (i) conditional lien waivers for the payment to be made and copies of partial waivers of lien from all contractors, subcontractors, and material suppliers covering all work and materials which were the subject of previous progress payments by Sublandlord and Subtenant, (ii) a certification from Subtenant's architect that the work for which the progress payment is being made has been completed substantially in accordance with the plans and specifications approved by Sublandlord and (iii) such other documents and information as Sublandlord may reasonably request. Sublandlord shall disburse the final progress payment for the Retainage upon submission by Subtenant to Sublandlord of Subtenant's request therefor accompanied by all documentation required under this Section 4.2(b), together with (A) proof of the satisfactory completion of all required inspections and issuance of any required approvals, permits and sign-offs for the Initial Alterations by governmental authorities having jurisdiction thereover, (B) final "as-built" plans and specifications far the Initial Alterations as required pursuant to Section 5.1(c) and (C) issuance of final lien waivers by all contractors, subcontractors and material suppliers covering all of the Initial Alterations. The right to receive Sublandlord's Contribution is for the exclusive benefit of Subtenant, and in no event shall such right be assigned to or be enforceable by or for the benefit of any third party, including any contractor, subcontractor, materialnian, laborer, architect, engineer, attorney or other person or entity.

43.1 The Subtenant, by virtue of mesne assignments from S.J.S. Radio Networks, Ltd., is the tenant under that certain Agreement of Lease dated as of
November 1, 1994 between 116 Associates, as landlord (the "Existing Landlord"), and S.J.S. Radio Networks, Ltd., as tenant (the "Existing Lease"). Subtenant represents and warrants that a true, complete and correct copy of the Existing Lease (including all amendments and exhibits) is attached hereto as Exhibit D; and, Subtenant agrees that it will not amend or modify the Existing Lease after the date hereof without the consent of the Sublandlord, which consent shall be given or withheld in Sublandlord's sole discretion. Commencing as of the Existing Lease Reimbursement Commencement Date (as defined
in this. Section), Subtenant shall be entitled to receive a reimbursement from Sublandlord ("Existing Lease Reimbursement"), which reimbursement shall be in a maximum aggregate amount equal to the aggregate of (i) the minimum annual base rent payable under the Existing Lease, (ii) all items of additional rent payable thereunder, except for those items of additional rent or other expenses payable by virtue of Subtenant's failure to timely or properly perform its obligations under the Existing Lease and (iii) the New York City occupancy tax payable thereon, (sometimes hereinafter referred to as "Reimbursable Items" or "reimbursable items"), for the period commencing on the later to occur of (x) Subtenant vacating the premises demised under the Existing Lease (the "Existing Premises"), removing its movable personal property and any other item required to be removed pursuant to the terms of the Existing Lease upon the expiration thereof and leaving the same in broom clean condition free of occupancy or tenancy except for that prescribed in this Article and (y) January 1, 2005 (the "Existing Lease Reimbursement Commencement Date"), through March 31, 2006, or such earlier date as (i) the Existing Lease shall be cancelled or terminated, (ii) the Existing Lease shall be assigned or the Existing Premises shall be surrendered, or recaptured by leaseback or (iii) the Existing Lease shall be terminated or cancelled by or surrendered to the Existing Landlord (the "Reimbursement Period"), provided that on any such date there shall be no further obligations on the part of the tenant under the Existing Lease, except for those resulting form the failure of the Subtenant to perform its obligations under the Existing Lease. The Sublandlord's obligation to pay for Reimbursable Items so accruing during the Reimbursement Period shall be subject to all terms, limitations and conditions hereinafter provided, including, without limitation, the provisions of Section 43.1(a) hereof.
(a) Sublandlord shall only be required to pay the Existing Lease
Reimbursement to the extent such Reimbursable Items have actually been paid by Subtenant under the Existing Lease and reasonably satisfactory evidence of such payment has been delivered to Sublandlord. Reasonable satisfactory evidence of such payment may include, without limitation, (i) receipt of a cancelled check for such payment, (ii) confirmation of a wire transfer to an account owned by the Existing Landlord or (iii) confirmation of payment by the Existing Landlord. The period of time during which Reimbursable Items shall accrue shall commence on the Existing Lease Reimbursement Commencement Date and terminate upon the expiration of the Reimbursement Period, however the Sublandlord's obligation to pay Reimbursable Items shall not terminate until all such Reimbursable Items that have accrued during the Reimbursement Period have been paid in accordance with the terms of this Article 43. Subject to the other terms hereof, Subtenant shall receive the Existing Lease Reimbursement on the condition that during the aforementioned Reimbursement Period Subtenant shall not be in monetary
default or in material non-monetary default in the performance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions contained in this Sublease beyond the expiration of the applicable notice and cure period, or in the Existing Lease, as the case may be. If such default is not remedied within the applicable cure period, payments to Subtenant of the Existing Lease Reimbursement shall cease as of the end of the cure period and Subtenant shall not be entitled to receive any Existing Lease Reimbursement in respect of any Reimbursable Item which becomes due and payable during the period beginning on the expiration of such cure period until the date upon which such cure shall be effected, if capable of being cured and if such cure shall be accepted, and to the extent that the Sublandlord shall have made payment for Reimbursable Items for periods after such default but before such cure, Subtenant shall promptly reimburse Sublandlord therefor, failing which such amounts shall be deemed to be Additional Rent and shall be paid by Subtenant to Sublandlord within thirty (30) days after demand. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Sublandlord does not terminate this Sublease or repossess the Subleased Premises by virtue of such default, then, for purposes of determining whether payments of Reimbursable Items shall be payable by Sublandlord, any cure of the default which gave rise to the cessation of payment for Reimbursable Items shall be deemed to have been accepted,
(b) Subtenant will reasonably cooperate, at no cost to Subtenant, with
Sublandlord in mitigating Sublandlord's exposure for and in recapturing or reducing the Existing Lease Reimbursement amount including, without limitation, executing and delivering any and all documents reasonably necessary to accomplish the same and/or to effectuate any (a) cancellation, termination or surrender of the Existing Lease or leaseback or recapture by or assignment to the Existing Landlord pursuant to the terms of the Existing Lease (collectively an "Existing Lease Cancellation"), (b) assignment of the Existing Lease, or (c) subletting of the Existing Premises (each of the items in clauses (a) through (c) being referred to as an "Existing Lease Disposition Event"). Sublandlord and Subtenant shall use reasonable efforts, at no cost to Subtenant, to obtain a release of Subtenant's obligations under the Existing Lease whether by an assignment of the Existing Lease or a subletting to a third party, the cancellation, surrender, buyout or termination of the Existing Lease or any other Existing Lease Disposition Event, so long as Sublandlord is not adversely affected by such release of Subtenant's obligations in respect thereto. Subtenant will agree to execute and deliver any and all documents and take any actions reasonably requested by Sublandlord and/or its real estate broker and obtain Sublandlord's prior written approval to execute any documents and take any other actions requested by Sublandlord all as necessary and proper to complete lease buyouts, terminations, cancellations, subleases, assignments or space surrenders or any other Existing Lease Disposition Event, all relative to the Existing Lease and the Existing Premises. Subtenant will not enter into any agreements or any Existing Lease Disposition Event or otherwise dispose of the Existing Lease or the Existing Premises without obtaining Sublandlord's prior written consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. In the event that Subtenant shall enter into any such agreement or effectuate any such disposition of the Existing Lease or the Existing Premises without Sublandlord's written consent, Sublandlord shall thereafter be and be deemed to be released of its obligation to make any further Existing Lease Reimbursement in respect of
any Reimbursable Items accruing from and after the effective date of such agreement or disposition. To the extent that the monetary obligation paid by Subtenant under the Existing Lease is reduced, offset, or refunded to Subtenant in respect of the Reimbursement Period, Sublandlord shall realize such reduction, refund or offset in a corresponding reduction of or credit against the Reimbursable Items payable by Sublandlord in the aggregate amount of such reduction, refund or offset. To the extent of any sums payable to Subtenant under any sublease, assignment, surrender, license or other agreement, documentation or any other Existing Lease Disposition Event, (collectively, the "Realized Payments"), Sublandlord shall receive a credit against Reimbursable Items equal to the Realized Payments. Subtenant will deliver and/or lease the Existing Premises in the condition required under this Article 43, on or before the date required under any such agreement but in no event shall Subtenant be obligated to so deliver possession earlier than June 15, 2005, and should Subtenant fail to deliver the Existing Premises when so required it will be deemed for purposes hereof as if such agreement had commenced and said premises had been timely delivered by Subtenant and the Existing Lease Reimbursement shall end or be reduced by the amounts that would have been collectible under said agreement, as applicable, effective as of said date and Subtenant shall be responsible for damages as hereinafter provided. Subtenant shall engage such real estate broker as Sublandlord shall direct (the "Existing Premises Broker") as Subtenant's real estate broker for the purposes of marketing the Existing Premises and the Existing Lease and for the disposition thereof in accordance with this Section 43.1(b) and to procure and/or obtain an Existing Lease Disposition Event pursuant to a separate brokerage agreement between the Existing Premises Broker and Subtenant which agreement shall be subject to Sublandlord's review and approval but which agreement shall be reasonable under the circumstances. Subtenant shall provide Sublandlord and the Existing Premises Broker or any successor broker approved by Sublandlord unrestricted access to and from the Existing Premises (including keys and/or cardkeys for the Existing Premises and building passes for their respective representatives) in connection therewith and in furtherance thereof, subject to any restrictions to such access imposed under the Existing Lease. Prior to the time that Subtenant actually vacates the Existing Premises, any access by such brokers shall be upon prior notice (which may be oral) to Subtenant during normal business hours. Any
payable to the Existing Premises Broker in connection with an Existing Lease Disposition Event shall be considered a Reimbursable Item, Sublandlord shall indemnify the Subtenant from any loss, cost, damage or expense, including attorneys fees, arising out of such brokerage agreement.
43.2 On or before the Existing Lease Reimbursement Commencement Date (as the Existing Lease Reimbursement Commencement Date may be extended pursuant to Section 43.4), Subtenant shall, at its cost and expense, (a) vacate all of the Existing Premises, which vacated space shall be free of all subleases, occupancy agreements, licenses and tenancies of any kind whatsoever, except any of the foregoing which shall have been entered into in accordance with Section 43.1(b), and (b) leave the Existing Premises vacant, "broom clean" and in good, neat and orderly condition (suitable for marketing to prospective subtenants or assignees) with all systems and equipment for which Subtenant is responsible under the Existing Lease in working order,
condition and repair and otherwise in the condition specified in Section 43.3 (c) unless Sublandlord and the Existing Landlord agree otherwise.
43.3 On or before the date that Sublandlord shall notify Subtenant that possession of any portion of the Existing Premises is required for any Existing Lease Disposition Event, which notice shall be given at least thirty (30) days in advance of the date of required possession of such Existing Premises (provided, however, Subtenant shall not be required to provide possession as aforesaid prior to June 15, 2005), Subtenant shall (a) remove all of the personal property of Subtenant from such Existing Premises referred to in such notice, which Subtenant is permitted or required to remove under the Existing Lease, failing which such personal property shall be removed at Subtenant's cost and expense on the date set forth in such notice, (b) repair any material damage caused by such removal, and (c) otherwise deliver the Existing Premises in the condition required at the end of the term of the Existing Lease, subject to the provisions of Section 43.2 hereof. Notwithstanding anything in this Paragraph 43 to the contrary, in the event that Subtenant's ability to complete its Initial Alterations in the Subleased Premises is delayed by virtue of any of the circumstances identified in paragraph 9 (A) (i) which would entitle the Subtenant to extend the Concession Period Abatement or by virtue of a fire or other casualty at the Subleased Premises not caused by Subtenant, then the Subtenant's obligation to provide possession of the Existing Premises shall, likewise, be extended by one (1) day for each day.of such delay.
43.4 Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Existing Lease Reimbursement Commencement Date (whether or not and without regard to the date the Existing Lease Reimbursement Commencement Date may have occurred under Section 43.1 above) may be and shall be deemed to be extended at the option of Sublandlord, by the number of days, if any, during which Subtenant shall unreasonably refuse or fail to execute and deliver any documentation or agreement reasonably necessary to effectuate and/or memorialize any Existing Lease Disposition Event beyond ten (10) days of written demand for Subtenant to so execute.
43.5 If the Existing Lease Reimbursement Commencement Date as originally determined pursuant to Subsection 43.1 is extended pursuant to Section 43.4 hereof; Sublandlord's rights and remedies pursuant to this Sublease shall not be affected thereby.
43.6 (a) Whether or not the Existing Lease Reimbursement Commencement Date is extended, if at any time the Subtenant fails to vacate the Existing Premises to accommodate an Existing Premises Disposition Event (provided that such date is later than June 15, 2005 and provided that such Existing Lease Reimbursement Commencement Date is evidenced by a writing with a third party or would have been so evidenced if the Subtenant had executed the same as required herein), then the Subtenant shall indemnify the Sublandlord and hold it harmless from and against any and all loss, cost, damage or expense, including without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements, arising out of or related to the failure to so vacate the Existing Premises, which damages may include without limitation, the failure to receive or reduction of
Realized Payments,, damages payable under any document evidencing an Existing Premises Disposition Event or the termination of any document evidencing an Existing Premises Disposition Event. The failure of Subtenant to comply with the terms of any document evidencing an Existing Premises Disposition Event within any applicable grace or cure period thereunder, if any, shall release and relieve Sublandlord from the payment of any Reimbursable Items accruing after such failure in respect of the portion of the Existing Premises covered by such Existing Premises Disposition Event limited however to the actual loss suffered by Sublandlord by virtue of Subtenant's failure. ,
(b) Whether or not the Existing Lease Reimbursement Commencement Date is extended for the reasons set forth in Subsection 43.4, at any time during any period that the events described in Subsection 43.4 shall have occurred and be continuing, Subtenant shall nevertheless pay Sublandlord as liquidated damages (which may be at Sublandlord's election, by credit to Sublandlord's first to accrue Existing Lease Reimbursement obligations under this Sublease) for each day such events continue thereafter the per diem entire rent payable under the Existing Lease as to the entire Existing Premises or portion thereof that is the subject of the documentation or agreement that Subtenant refused or has failed to execute and deliver. If the events described in Subsection 43.4 continue for more than thirty (30) days, then Sublandlord's Existing Lease Reimbursement obligations under this Sublease may be cancelled by Sublandlord by notice given to Subtenant, but such cancellation shall apply only as to such space as would have been subleased, assigned or otherwise disposed of pursuant to the documentation or agreement that Subtenant refused or failed to execute and deliver (each a "Non-Executed Disposition Document") and only as to such obligations accruing after the effective date of such cancellation, whereupon the term "Existing Premises" shall exclude the part of the space as would have been so subleased, assigned or otherwise disposed of pursuant to the applicable Non-Executed Disposition Document as to which Sublandlord's obligations are cancelled (the "Cancelled Portion") and Subtenant shall be obligated to pay Sublandlord's damages as elsewhere provided in this Sublease as to the remainder of the Existing Premises.
(c) If (x) the Existing Lease Reimbursement Commencement Date is extended pursuant to Section 43.4 hereof for in excess of Unity (30) days (an "Extension"), or (y) the Existing Lease Reimbursement obligations under this Sublease with respect to a Cancelled Portion shall be terminated by Sublandlord or shall otherwise expire or be cancelled pursuant to the applicable provisions hereof, or (z) this Sublease shall be terminated (other than in connection with a casualty or condemnation) by Sublandlord pursuant to the applicable provisions hereof, then Subtenant shall be liable to Sublandlord for damages and shall reimburse Sublandlord for, and indemnify, defend, and hold Sublandlord harmless from and against, any and all actual loss, liability, claims, damages or expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or resulting from the following to the extent incurred by reason of such extension or termination, but limited to the amount of the Reimbursable Items and any actual out-of -pocket expenses incurred by Subtenant and enumerated below:

(iv)Costs incurred by Sublandlord in connection with its efforts to assign, sublease or otherwise dispose of the Cancelled Portion or bring about any other Existing Lease Disposition Event with respect to the Cancelled Portion, including but not limited to, brokerage fees, advertising expenses, and attorney's fees; and
(v)Damages incurred by Sublandlord for rent or other payments which otherwise would have been borne or reimbursed by an assignee or subtenant or other party to an Executed Disposition Document of the Cancelled Portion which agreement lapsed, expired or otherwise became unenforceable as a result thereof (except to the extent that Sublandlord is relieved of the corresponding obligation to reimburse Subtenant for such rent or other payments as a result of such extension or termination).
43.7 In addition to all other amounts payable by Sublandlord hereunder, if the Subtenant vacates the Existing Premises in the manner required by this Article 43 before March 1, 2005, then Subtenant shall receive a one time credit against the Fixed Rent next payable under the Sublease in the amount of $15,000,
43.8 Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Subtenant executes at the request of Sublandlord a cancellation or termination agreement for the Existing Lease which calls for the payment of a lump sum, then the amount of such lump sum shall be paid in escrow to Subtenant's attorneys to be used to make the payment required under such cancellation or termination agreement.
43.9 Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Subtenant shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain from the Existing Landlord on or before (but not more than 30 days before) the Existing Lease Reimbursement Commencement Date an estoppel certificate executed and delivered by an authorized representative of the Existing Landlord stating that, (1) the Subtenant, as tenant under the Exiting Lease, is current in all payments required thereunder, (ii) no defaults by Subtenant as tenant under the Existing Lease shall have occurred and be continuing, (iii) there are no restoration obligations at the end of the Existing Lease except that the tenant thereunder remove its movable personal property and (iv) the Existing Lease, in the form attached to this Sublease as Exhibit D has not been modified in any respect and remains in full force and
effect. If, despite Subtenant's commercially reasonable efforts to obtain same, the Subtenant is not able to obtain such estoppel certificate from the Existing. Landlord within thirty (30) days prior to the Existing Lease Reimbursement Commencement Date, then the Subtenant shall send to Sublandlord a certification to that effect and, whether or not such certification shall have been sent, Subtenant shall be deemed to have made the representations and warranties recited in clauses (i) through (iv) above and shall indemnify the Sublandlord and hold it harmless against and from any and all loss, cost, damage and expense, including attorneys' fees and disbursements, arising out of the fact that any of such representations and warranties are not true, such liability being limited to the amount of the Reimbursable Items plus any of the out -of-pocket items recited in Section 43.6 (c) (i) through (v).
43.10 In the event that the Sublandlord is relieved of its obligation for the Reimbursable Items by virtue of Subtenant's default under this Sublease, and if the Sublandlord elects to terminate this Sublease or repossess the Subleased Premises by virtue of such default, then in determining the measure of damages to which Sublandlord is entitled by virtue of such default, the amount of the unpaid Reimbursable Items shall be deducted from such damages.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Sublandlord and Subtenant have hereunto executed this Sublease as of the day and year first above written.

(a)Subtenant shall receive ten (10) months of free rent for the period commencing on the Amendment Commencement Date and ending on the day preceding the New Rent Commencement Date for the 5th Floor Premises and the 7th Floor Premises only (the “Free Rent”).

(b)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, with respect to the 5th Floor Premises and the 7th Floor Premises only, Subtenant shall receive an abatement (the “Concession Period Abatement”) (in addition to the Free Rent to be provided pursuant to Section 3(c) above) and is being excused from the payment of Fixed Rent (but not electricity in the sum of $5,378.25 per month), for the period commencing on the first (1st) anniversary of the New Rent Commencement Date and ending on the day immediately preceding the date that is fifteen (15) months after the New Rent Commencement Date (both dates inclusive) (such period, the “Concession Period”), subject to the conditions set forth below in this subsection (d)). If at any time during the Term, the Sublease shall be terminated by Sublandlord in accordance with the terms of the Sublease and/or applicable law by reason of a Subtenant breach and/or default by Subtenant with regard to (x) any monetary covenant on its part to be complied with or performed, and/or (y) any non-monetary covenant, agreement or term on Subtenant's part to be complied with or performed (after expiration of applicable notice and/or grace periods, if any), then, upon the occurrence such termination, and only upon such termination (as opposed to default and/or breach not resulting in a termination of this Amendment or the Sublease) that portion of the Concession Period Abatement so conditionally excused and the Free Rent shall become immediately due and payable by Subtenant to Sublandlord. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this subsection (d) or otherwise herein, Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord, as additional rent on account of electricity consumed at the 5th Floor Premises and the 7th Floor Premises during the Concession Period, the sum of $5,378.25 per month during the Concession Period (which for the avoidance of doubt, is the same payment described in Section 3(c) above for a different time period). If such period
shall commence or end on other than the first (1st) day or last day of a calendar month, such monthly amount on account of electricity will be appropriately pro rated on a per diem basis.
(a)Sublandlord and Subtenant acknowledge that as of the date hereof, Sublandlord remains in possession of that portion of the 5th Floor Premises identified on Exhibit A-1 as “LN Retained Area”. Sublandlord shall diligently remove its personal property from such area as soon as reasonably practicable after the Amendment Commencement Date. In the event that the LN Retained Area are not delivered by Subtenant broom clean and vacant on or before March 16, 2012, in addition to and not in limitation of any other abatement of rent due hereunder, Subtenant shall receive a credit on account of Fixed Rent in the amount of $351.56 per diem for each day from and after March 17, 2012 that there is a delay in the delivery of possession of the LN Retained Area; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in the Sublease, Sublandlord shall have unfettered access to the LN Retained Area until such time as possession thereof is delivered to Subtenant; provided further that Sublandlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize interference with the operation of Subtenant's business operations in exercising such right of access (but without the need to use premium time or overtime labor).
(b)Notwithstanding anything in the Sublease to the contrary, (i) Sublandlord shall at all times have unfettered access to the areas identified on Exhibit A-1 as “Live Nation Space” (which includes Sublandlord's security office and computer/IT server equipment room) and (ii) in no event is any work required of Sublandlord to ready the 5th Floor Premises for occupancy by Subtenant (including, without limitation, demising walls, entranceways, or other ingress and egress). Subtenant covenants not to interfere with Sublandlord's use of such Live Nation Space; provided, however, that Sublandlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize interference with the operation of Subtenant's business operations in exercising such right of access (but without the need to use premium time or overtime labor).
(c)Sublandlord and Subtenant acknowledge and agree that certain overpayments have been made by Subtenant on account of real estate tax escalation payments due pursuant to the Existing Sublease. Accordingly, Subtenant shall be entitled to a credit against the next installment or installments of Fixed Rent to become due under the Sublease from and after the Amendment Commencement Date until such time as Subtenant has received a credit in the aggregate amount of $185,790.87. The foregoing credit covers real estate tax escalation payments for the time period ending as of December 31, 2011. In consideration of the agreement of Sublandlord to provide such credit, effective as of the Amendment Commencement Date, Subtenant does hereby release Sublandlord and its affiliates and each of their respective employees, officers, directors, shareholders, principals, agents and representatives from any and all claims, suits, actions and/or proceedings and all other rights and remedies that Subtenant may have with respect to any such overbilling and overpayments for real estate tax escalation payments which may have occurred at any time to and including the Amendment Commencement Date. In consideration of the foregoing release, Sublandlord does hereby release Subtenant and its affiliates and each of their respective employees, officers, directors, shareholders, principals, agents and representatives from any and all claims, suits, actions and/or proceedings and all other rights and remedies that Sublandlord may have with respect to any
underbilling and underpayments for real estate tax escalation payments which may have occurred at any time to and including the Amendment Commencement Date.
(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein (but
subject to the foregoing Section 3(e)), for the avoidance of doubt, the Fixed Rent and Additional Rent with respect to the Initial Subleased Premises shall continue to be due and payable in accordance with the terms of the Existing Sublease and shall not be modified or amended by the terms of this Amendment except to the extent a credit is to be provided to Subtenant pursuant to Section 3(e) hereof; nor shall any free rent period apply with respect to the payment of rent for the Initial Subleased Premises.

(ii)Subject to Section 2(b) hereof, on April 1, 2012, Sublandlord shall deliver possession of the Temporary Premises in their “as is” condition and broom clean (but with the Temporary Premises Furniture (as hereinafter defined) remaining therein). Subtenant acknowledges and agrees that it is leasing the Temporary Premises “as is” and that Sublandlord is not required to perform any work or expend any monies in connection with the Temporary Premises. Subtenant is not relying on any representations, warranties or promises of Sublandlord as to the condition of the Temporary Premises.
(iii)The Fixed Rent reserved and payable for the Temporary Premises for the Temporary Premises Term on a “gross rent basis” shall be $925,678.00, payable in advance on the first day of each calendar month commencing on April 1, 2012, in equal monthly installments of $154,279.66 each and otherwise in accordance with the provisions of the Sublease.
(iv)During the Temporary Premises Term there shall be no escalation rent or electrical inclusive factor rent due with respect to the Temporary Premises.
(v)Tenant shall comply with the terms of Section 37 of the Original Sublease for the surrender of the Temporary Premises upon the expiration of the Temporary Premises Term as though it were the end of the Term and such Section 37 shall apply if Subtenant shall fail to timely vacate the Temporary Premises.
(vi)Electricity shall be provided to the Temporary Premises in accordance with the Existing Sublease. In no event shall the Temporary Premises have, or shall Subtenant use, a demand electrical load in excess of that load presently provided for pursuant to the Existing Sublease.
(b) In the event Sublandlord is unable to deliver possession of the Temporary Premises to Subtenant on April 1, 2012 because of the holding over or retention of possession of any tenant, undertenant or occupant or for any other reason, (i) Sublandlord shall not be subject to any liability for failure to deliver possession on said date, (ii) the validity of the Existing Sublease shall not be impaired under such circumstances, nor give rise to any claim for damages or rescission and (iii) Subtenant expressly waives any right to rescind the Existing Sublease under Section 223-a of the New York Real Property Law or under any present or future statute of similar import then in force and further expressly waives the right to recover any damages, direct or indirect, which may result from Sublandlord's failure to deliver possession of the Temporary Premises on April 1, 2012. Subtenant agrees that the provisions of this Section are intended to constitute “an express provision to the contrary” within the meaning of said Section 223-a.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Existing Sublease, Subtenant shall not be entitled to any free rent, rent abatement, other rent concession or other concession with respect to the Temporary Premises.
3. Tenant's Work Allowance.
(a)So long as (and solely on the condition that) Subtenant shall deliver the Temporary Premises Security Letter (as hereinafter defined; which, for the avoidance of doubt must be in form and substance and from an issuing bank satisfactory to Sublandlord) on or before March 29, 2012, Sublandlord shall contribute an amount not to exceed $500,000.00 (the “Existing Subleased Premises Fund”) toward (i) the “hard” costs of the initial alterations to the Subleased Premises (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, the Temporary Premises) to the extent such alterations are approved by Sublandlord pursuant to the terms of the Sublease (or permitted without Sublandlord approval pursuant to the Sublease), and (ii) “soft” costs relating to such alterations including, without limitation, architect's and engineering fees, furniture reconfiguration fees, permit fees, expediter's fees and designers' fees incurred in connection with such alterations; provided, however, that in no event shall the portion of the Existing Subleased Premises Fund to be funded pursuant to the foregoing clause (ii) exceed 50% of the Existing Subleased Premises Fund.
(b)From and after April 15, 2012, Sublandlord shall disburse a portion of the Existing Subleased Premises Fund to Subtenant from time to time, within thirty (30) days after receipt of the items set forth in Section 3(c) hereof, provided that on the date of a request and on the date of disbursement from the Existing Subleased Premises Fund no default shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the payment of Fixed Rent pursuant to Section 2(a)(iii) hereof. Disbursements from the Existing Subleased Premises Fund shall not be made more frequently than monthly, and shall be in an amount equal to the aggregate amounts theretofore paid or payable (as certified by the Chief Financial Officer, Chief Accounting Officer or Chief Administrative Officer) to Subtenant's contractors, subcontractors and materialmen and which amounts have not been the subject of a previous disbursement from the Existing Subleased Premises Fund; provided, however, that in no event shall disbursements of the Existing Subleased Premises Fund to exceed $500,000.00.
(c)Sublandlord's obligation to make disbursements from the Existing Subleased Premises Fund shall be subject to Sublandlord's reasonable verification of costs incurred with respect to the initial alterations and receipt of: (i) a request for such disbursement from Subtenant signed by the Chief Financial Officer, Chief Accounting Officer or Chief Administrative Officer of Subtenant, together with the certification required by Section 3(b) hereof, (ii) copies of all receipts, invoices and bills for the work and materials furnished in connection with the initial alterations and incorporated in the Existing Subleased Premises which are to be paid from the requested disbursement or which have been paid by Subtenant and for which Subtenant is seeking reimbursement, (iii) only if requested by Sublandlord in writing, copies of all contracts, work orders, change orders and other materials relating to the work or materials which are the subject of the requested disbursement or reimbursement, and (iv) if requested by Sublandlord, waivers of lien for the portion of the work for which reimbursement is sought from all contractors, subcontractors and materialmen involved in the performance of the initial alterations relating to the portion of the initial alterations theretofore performed and materials theretofore provided and for which previous disbursements and/or the requested disbursement has been or is to be made (except to the extent such waivers of lien were previously furnished to Sublandlord upon a prior request), to the extent such waivers may be lawfully given.
(d) It is expressly understood and agreed that Subtenant shall complete, at its sole cost and expense, the initial alterations, whether or not the applicable Existing Subleased Premises Fund is sufficient to fund such completion. Any costs to complete the initial alterations in excess of the applicable Existing Subleased Premises Fund shall be the sole responsibility and obligation of Subtenant.
(e) Within sixty (60) days after completion of the initial alterations, Subtenant shall deliver to Sublandlord general releases and waivers of lien from all contractors, subcontractors and materialmen involved in the performance of the initial alterations and the materials furnished in connection therewith (unless same previously were furnished pursuant to Section 7(c) hereof), and a certificate from Subtenant's independent licensed architect certifying that (i) in his or her opinion the initial alterations have been performed in a good and workmanlike manner and completed in accordance with the final detailed plans and specifications for such initial alterations as approved by Sublandlord and (ii) all contractors, subcontractors and materialmen have been paid for the initial alterations and materials furnished through such date. As soon as reasonably practicable after the completion of the work, but in no event later than thirty (30) days after the last disbursement on account of the Existing Subleased Premises Fund (subject to extension due to causes beyond Subtenant's reasonable control), Subtenant shall deliver to Sublandlord proof (in form reasonably satisfactory to Sublandlord) that the conditions of all required permits and alteration permits or applications with respect to the alterations to the Existing Subleased Premises have been satisfied, and, to the extent necessary, inspected by relevant governmental departments or agencies or “self-certified” by Subtenant's architect or engineer (if permitted by applicable laws, rules and regulations) and the Department of Buildings has provided its “signed-off” with respect to the work (such as by means of a Department of Buildings letter of completion).
4. Furniture. Subtenant acknowledges that Sublandlord shall deliver
possession of the Temporary Premises with the furniture presently existing on the 14th Floor (as
inventoried in the Second Amendment) and, with respect to the 16th Floor, as identified on the furniture list attached as Exhibit C hereto (collectively, the “Temporary Premises Furniture”), which Temporary Premises Furniture shall be considered Leased Furniture under the Sublease in all respects. Sublandlord has not and does not now make any representations or warranties, express or implied, with regard to the Temporary Premises Furniture and Subtenant agrees to accept same in its present “as is” condition. Subtenant shall not dismantle and/or remove the Temporary Premises Furniture except with Sublandlord's prior written consent (and if such consent is so granted any dismantled and/or stored furniture shall be stored and insured as reasonably required by Sublandlord at Subtenant's cost and expense). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in the Existing Sublease, at the end of the Temporary Premises Term, Subtenant will surrender possession of the Temporary with the Temporary Premises Furniture in its condition as of the beginning of the Temporary Premises Term (subject to normal wear and tear).
5. Security. (a) Section 29 of the Sublease (as amended to date) is hereby
further amended and modified to provide that the security deposit shall be increased by an additional Five Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($500,000.00). Contemporaneous with Subtenant's delivery of executed counterparts of this Amendment, Subtenant shall deliver a clean, irrevocable standby letter of credit in such amount (which letter of credit is in addition to and not in limitation of the Security Letter delivered contemporaneously with the execution and delivery of the Third Amendment). Subtenant shall throughout Temporary Premises Term of the Sublease deliver to Sublandlord, in the event of the termination of any such letter of credit, replacement letters of credit in lieu thereof (each such letter of credit and such extensions or replacements thereof, as the case may be, is hereinafter referred to as a “Temporary Premises Security Letter”) no later than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration date of the preceding Temporary Premises Security Letter. Subtenant shall be obligated to reimburse Sublandlord for the reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements of Sublandlord incurred in connection with Sublandlord's review of any replacement letter of credit. If Subtenant shall fail to obtain any replacements of a Temporary Premises Security Letter within the time limits set forth herein, Sublandlord may draw down the full amount of the existing Security Letter and retain the same as cash security hereunder as provided in Section 29 of the Sublease; provided, however, that Sublandlord shall endeavor to provide a written notice to Subtenant in the event Subtenant shall fail to timely replace same (and if sufficient time remains before the expiration of the subject Security Letter) and three (3) business days to cure such default after any such notice; provided further that the failure by Sublandlord to provide such a notice shall not be a condition precedent to Sublandlord drawing on such Temporary Premises Security Letter.
(b) The initial term of the Temporary Premises Security Letter shall end no earlier than December 31, 2012.
(c) In the event Subtenant fully and faithfully performs its obligations with respect to the Temporary Premises, including, without limitation, timely vacating the Temporary Premises in the condition required (and with the Temporary Premises Furniture therein and in the condition required) on or before September 30, 2012 and timely and fully paying all rent due with respect to the Temporary Premises, Subtenant shall be entitled to the return and cancellation of the Temporary Premises Security Letter.
(d) In the event Subtenant defaults in respect of any material monetary
terms or conditions of the Sublease relating to the Temporary Premises, including, but not limited to the payment of Fixed Rent and/or Additional Rent and/or if Sublandlord draws down on the Temporary Premises Security Letter, Subtenant shall not be entitled to a return of the security and Section 5(c) above shall be null and void.
6. Confidentiality. Subtenant acknowledges that all terms and conditions of this Amendment and the Sublease and any other information relating to the same (the “Confidential Information”) is proprietary information of Sublandlord and that Subtenant is to maintain the confidentiality of the same. Subtenant hereby agrees to use its best efforts to keep any Confidential Information contained in this Amendment and the Sublease confidential; provided, however, that Subtenant may disclose such information if (i) Sublandlord gives its written prior consent to such disclosure or (ii) Subtenant is required to disclose any portion of the Confidential Information under the terms of a subpoena or other order issued by a Court of competent jurisdiction or by another governmental authority. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Subtenant may disclose Confidential Information to its accountants and counsel and may publicly file this Amendment and/or the Existing Sublease with the SEC to the extent such filing is required by applicable securities laws.
7. Brokerage. (a) Subtenant represents and warrants to Sublandlord that Subtenant has not dealt with any broker, finder or like agent in connection with this Amendment other than Newmark Knight Frank. Subtenant does hereby indemnify and hold Sublandlord harmless of and from any and all loss, costs, damage, liability or expense (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements) which Sublandlord may incur by reason of any claim asserted against Sublandlord by any broker, finder or like agent other than Newmark Knight Frank, claiming to have dealt with Subtenant in connection with this Amendment. For the avoidance of doubt, Sublandlord shall be responsible for paying any broker's fee due to Newmark Knight Frank in connection with this Amendment.
(b) The provisions of this Section 7 shall survive the expiration or
sooner termination of the Sublease.
8. Authorization. Sublandlord and Subtenant represent and warrant that the execution and delivery of this Amendment has been duly authorized and that the individual executing this Amendment on behalf of Sublandlord and Subtenant, respectively, has been duly authorized to do so.
