In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of this rider and the provisions of the Lease to which this rider is attached, the provisions of this rider shall control.
43. Water Charges: If Tenant requires, uses or consumes water for any purpose in the demised premises other than ordinary lavatory purposes (of which fact Landlord shall be the sole judge), Landlord may install a water meter and thereby measure Tenants water consumption for all purposes. Tenant shall pay Landlord for the cost of the meter and the cost of the installation. Throughout the duration of Tenants occupancy, Tenant shall keep said meter and installation equipment in good working order and repair at Tenants own cost and expense. In the event Tenant fails to maintain the meter and installation equipment in good working order and repair (of which fact Landlord shall be the sole judge) Landlord may cause such meter and equipment to be replaced or repaired, and collect the cost thereof from Tenant as additional rent. Tenant agrees to pay for water consumed as shown on said meter as and when bills are rendered, and in the event Tenant defaults in the making of such payment, Landlord may pay such charges and collect the same from Tenant as additional rent. To the extent not included in the payment of Real Estate Taxes, Tenant covenants and agrees to pay, as additional rent, Tenants Percentage of the sewer rent, charge or any other tax, rent or levy above such amounts charged in the Base Tax Year which now or hereafter is assessed, imposed or a lien upon the demised premises, or the realty of which they are a part, pursuant to any law, order or regulation made or issued in connection with the use, consumption, maintenance or supply of water, the water system or sewage or sewage connection or system. If the demised premises is supplied with water through a meter which measures the water consumption of other tenants as well as the demised premises, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as additional rent, on the first day of each month, that portion of the meter charges that relate to Tenants use. Independently of, and in addition to, any of the remedies reserved to Landlord hereinabove or elsewhere in this Lease, Landlord may sue for and collect any monies to be paid by Tenant, or paid by Landlord, for any of the reasons or purposes hereinabove set forth.
44. Electric Current:
A. Supplementing Article 5 hereof, electricity shall be furnished to Tenant on a submetering basis. Tenant shall pay Landlord (or at Landlords option, Landlords agent) as additional rent within ten (10) days following demand made therefor for all electricity furnished to and/or consumed in the demised premises on a submetering basis from and after the date possession of the demised premises is delivered to Tenant at charges, terms and rates, including, without limitation, fuel adjustments and taxes, equal to the SC-4 rate for Consolidated Edison plus five percent (5%) for transmission line loss and other redistribution costs. If, in Landlords reasonable judgment, Tenants use shall require more than one (1) submeter in the demised premises, Landlord shall install additional submeter(s) in the demised premises at Tenants sole cost and expense. If there is more than one submeter in the demised premises, each meter may be computed and billed separately in accordance with the rates and terms set forth herein. If any tax is imposed upon Landlords receipt from the sale or resale of electrical energy or gas or telephone service to Tenant by any federal, state or municipal authority, Tenant covenants and
Rider page 1 |
agrees that where permitted by law, Tenants pro-rata share of such taxes shall be passed on to and included in the amount charged to, and paid by Tenant to Landlord as additional rent. If the demised premises submeters and/or the submeters are not functional, then for the period such meters are not functioning, the parties agree that, at Landlords option, Tenants annual actual cost for electricity shall be deemed to be a sum equal to $2.50 times the agreed rentable square foot area of the demised premises, changed in the same percentage as any increases in the cost to Landlord for electricity for the entire Building subsequent to January 1, 2009 because of electric rate, time of day charges, service classification or market price changes. Tenant, shall not, without Landlords prior written consent in each instance, connect any fixtures, appliances or equipment (other than a reasonable number of table and floor lamps, typewriters, personal computers, copy machines and similar small office machines used in modern day offices) to the Buildings electric distribution system nor make any alteration or addition to the electrical system of the demised premises. Should Landlord grant such consent, all additional risers or other equipment required therefor shall be provided by Landlord upon notice to Tenant, and all reasonable and out-of-pocket cost and expenses of Landlord in connection therewith shall be paid by Tenant as additional rent upon demand by Landlord.
B. Landlord reserves the right to discontinue furnishing electric current to Tenant on a submetering basis at any time upon not less than sixty (60) days notice to Tenant. If Landlord elects not to furnish electric current to Tenant on a submetering basis, Tenant shall arrange to obtain electric current directly from the public utility company supplying electric current to the Building; and in that event, all risers, equipment and other facilities which may be required for Tenant to obtain electric current directly from such public utility corporation and may already be in the Building, may be used by Tenant at no additional charge to Tenant. If Landlord exercises its right to discontinue furnishing electric current to Tenant, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect and shall be unaffected thereby, except only that, from and after the effective date of such discontinuance, Landlord shall not be obligated to furnish electric current to Tenant on a submetering basis; however, if Tenant is unable to obtain direct electric service by the effective date of such discontinuance, so long as Tenant continues to make reasonable efforts to obtain direct electric service, Landlord shall continue to provide electric service until Tenant has obtained direct electric service. If Landlord has discontinued electric service and, in Landlords reasonable judgment, additional risers are required in order to supply electricity to the demised premises, such risers shall be installed by Landlord at Landlords reasonable expense, and in any event, any such installation shall be maintained by Landlord, at its expense and shall be subject to such reasonable conditions as the utility company may require. Landlords election to not furnish electric current to Tenant shall not be deemed a lessening or diminution of services within the meaning of any law, rule or regulation now or hereafter enacted, promulgated or issued.
45. Initial Work: Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Landlord shall, at its expense, perform, or cause to be performed, the work set forth on Exhibit B attached hereto and hereby made a part hereof, except that Tenant acknowledges that Landlord shall not install the wooden floors or the acoustical treatment described in Exhibit B (such work is herein collectively referred to as Landlords Work). Landlords Work shall be performed in accordance with Legal Requirements using Building standard materials in a workmanlike manner. Tenant shall perform all other work (Tenants Work) necessary for it to use the demised premises as contemplated in this Lease and such work shall be performed in accordance with the Legal Requirements, at its sole expense, pursuant to plans, drawings and specifications therefor prepared by Tenant and submitted to, and approved by Landlord and subject to the terms of this Lease, including, without limitation, Article 10 hereof. If the substantial completion of
Rider page 2 |
the Landlords Work is delayed by reason of: (i) any act or omission of Tenant or any of its employees, agents or contractors; or (ii) any failure (not due to any act or omission of Landlord or any of its employees, agents or contractors) caused solely by Tenant or its agents to plan or execute Tenants Work (as hereafter defined) with reasonable speed and diligence, or (iii) any material changes by Tenant in the plans or specifications or any material changes or substitutions requested by Tenant; or (iv) Tenants failure to furnish plans, information, details and specifications Landlord requests from Tenant, or subsequent changes thereto; or (v) Tenants request for materials, finishes or installations other than Landlords standard as identified in Exhibit B hereto; or (vi) the performance or incompletion of work by a party employed or retained by Tenant; then Landlords Work shall be deemed substantially completed on the date when the same would have been substantially completed but for such delay and, in addition, Tenant shall pay to Landlord all costs and damages which Landlord may sustain by reason of such delay. Landlord agrees that it will use commercially reasonable efforts to complete the Landlords Work on or before the Commencement Date, provided that Tenant has satisfied the Documentary Requirements on or before April 15, 2009 and in such event, for each day after the Commencement Date that Landlords work has not been substantially completed, the Free Rent Period shall be extended by one day. If Tenant claims that some or all of Landlords Work have not been completed by Landlord upon the date Landlord notifies Tenant that Landlord has substantially completed Landlords Work, Tenant shall, within ten (10) days of said date (or ten (10) days following the date Tenant opens for the transaction of business, whichever date shall be sooner), submit to Landlord a written list of the Landlords Work that Tenant claims remains to be performed by Landlord, and Landlord shall have forty five (45) days thereafter to complete such work. If Landlord fails to complete such work, the sole remedy of Tenant shall be to complete such work and Tenant shall have the right to set off the reasonable cost thereof from the rent due Landlord in order to reimburse Tenant for the cost and expense of completion of the work. Upon written request of Landlord, Tenant will, within five (5) days following request, furnish to Landlord a written statement that Tenant is in occupancy of the demised premises, that Landlords Work has been completed in accordance with Landlords obligations or in lieu thereof, a list of the work Tenant claims to be incomplete.
46. Air Conditioning: Tenant shall, at its own cost and expense operate, maintain, clean, repair and replace the air conditioning system, equipment and facilities (hereinafter called the AC System) now or hereafter located in or servicing solely the demised premises (including, but not limited to, the periodic cleaning and/or replacements of filters, replacement of fuses and belts, the calibration of thermostats and all startup and shut down maintenance of the system, equipment and facilities) and provide a repair and maintenance contract in form reasonably satisfactory to Landlord with an air conditioning contractor or servicing organization approved by Landlord; provided, however, that Landlord may elect at any time to enter into a contract with an air conditioning contractor or servicing organization to provide repair and maintenance to the AC System (provided such contract or charges are commercially reasonable) in which event, Tenant shall pay Landlord for the cost of such contract as additional rent hereunder within ten (10) days following demand made therefor. At Landlords sole option, such contract may include other air conditioning systems, equipment and facilities, in which event, Tenant shall pay Landlord within ten (10) days following demand therefor for the cost of such contract to the extent that it relates to the AC System, as additional rent hereunder. If any permit or license is required for the operation of the AC System, such license or permit shall be in place as of the Commencement Date and Tenant shall, at Tenants expense, thereafter obtain and maintain any such permit or license unless Landlord elects to obtain the same on Tenants behalf and at Tenants expense. Any additions or other alterations to the AC System shall require Landlords
Rider page 3 |

B. The Arbitration shall operate as described in this paragraph. If by January 1, 2016 Landlord and Tenant have failed to reach a written agreement on the Fair Market Rental, then on or before January 15, 2016: Landlord shall choose (and pay the costs of) a person who is then (and for the previous ten years has been) a licensed real estate broker engaged in leasing offices located in downtown Brooklyn and D.U.M.B.O. (and obtain the acceptance of the person chosen) to act as one of the arbitrators, Tenant shall choose (and pay the costs of) a person who is then (and for the previous ten years has been) a licensed real estate broker engaged in leasing offices located in downtown Brooklyn and D.U.M.B.O. (and obtain the acceptance of the person chosen) to act as one of the arbitrators, and each party shall notify the other of the name, address and telephone number of the person who has been selected by it and has agreed with it to act as an arbitrator. If either Landlord or Tenant does not obtain the acceptance of a person satisfying the aforesaid qualifications to act as an arbitrator on its behalf and notify the other party of the contact information for such a person on or before January 15, 2016, then the other party may have the American Arbitration Association appoint an arbitrator, at the party lacking an arbitrators expense. The two arbitrators shall endeavor to reach an agreement as to what the Fair Market Rental should be; and if the two arbitrators cannot agree in writing on what the Fair Market Rental should be on or prior to February 28, 2016, they shall choose a third person (who is a licensed commercial real estate broker for at least ten years engaged in leasing office space in downtown Brooklyn and D.U.M.B.O.) mutually acceptable to them (and obtain the acceptance of such selection from the person they have selected) to act as the third arbitrator. If the two arbitrators cannot agree as to whom the third arbitrator shall be or if they are unable to obtain the acceptance of a third arbitrator prior to March 30, 2016, then Landlord or Tenant may have the American Arbitration Association appoint a third arbitrator. Landlord and Tenant shall split equally the costs of the third arbitrator. The arbitrators selected by Landlord and Tenant shall each prepare their own determination of the figure (the Proposed Determination) that should be the Fair Market Rental and submit their respective Proposed Determinations in writing to the third arbitrator within ten (10) days after the third arbitrator is chosen. If a determination is not submitted to the third arbitrator by Landlord or Tenant within said ten (10) days, then the Proposed Determination for such arbitrator shall be deemed to be (i) $460,000.00 for the first year of the Renewal Period in the event Tenant failed to timely exercise Tenants option to add the Adjacent Unit to the demised premises or (ii) $665,000.00 for the first year of the Renewal Period in the event Tenant timely exercised Tenants option to add the Adjacent Unit to the demised premises, with 3% compounded annual increases thereafter for the annual base rent and the other business terms shall be as they were in the last year of the term of this Lease. The third arbitrator shall meet with the first two arbitrators to review and discuss the Proposed Determination submitted by each of them or deemed to have been submitted by each of them, and promptly thereafter issue his or her own determination in writing to Landlord and Tenant. The determination of the third arbitrator shall be made on the basis of which Proposed Determination is closest to what the third arbitrator believes the Fair Market Rental should be, and such determination of the third arbitrator must be made only by his or her selecting one of the Proposed Determinations submitted or deemed to have been submitted by the other arbitrators. The determination of the third arbitrator (or the determination mutually agreed to by the first two arbitrators, if such written agreement is reached by them before the selection of a third arbitrator is required) shall be binding and conclusive on Landlord and Tenant subject to the final determination reached by Arbitration or mutual agreement of the first two arbitrators not being less than that described in the last sentence of the previous paragraph of this Article.

Any such tax exemption for the Building is referred to as Tax Exemption and the period of such Tax Exemption is referred to as the Tax Exemption Period. Landlord agrees that Tenant shall not be required to (a) pay Taxes or charges which become due because of the willful neglect or fraud by Landlord in connection with the ICIP Program or (b) otherwise relieve or indemnify Landlord from any personal liability arising under the ICIP Program, except where imposition of such Taxes, charges or liability is occasioned by actions of Tenant in violation of this Lease. Tenant agrees (i) to report to Landlord, as often as is necessary under such regulations, the number of workers engaged in employment in the demised premises, the nature of each workers employment and the residency of each worker and to provide access to the demised premises by employees and agents of the Department of Finance of the City of New York at all reasonable times at the request of Landlord, (ii) that any work performed by Tenant or any person or entity claiming through or under Tenant shall be subject to the requirements of Executive Order No. 50 (April 25, 1980) and the Rules and Regulations promulgated thereunder (collectively, EO 50) and the ICIP Program and (iii) that Tenant will comply with and cause its general contractor, construction manager, and all other subcontractors (collectively, the Contractors) to comply with EO 50 and the ICIP Program.

Upon request of Landlord, from time to time, Tenant agrees to update said representation when required because of the ICIP Program and regulations thereunder. Tenant further agrees to cooperate with Landlord in compliance with such ICIP Program and regulations to aid Landlord in obtaining and maintaining the Tax Exemption and, if requested by Landlord, to post a notice in a conspicuous place in the demised premises and to publish a notice in a newspaper of general circulation in the City of New York, in such form as

SIXTH: The Lease is hereby amended by adding the following Article 53:
53. Adjacent Units
A. Adjacent Units means all of the storage and office spaces located on the seventh (7th) floor of the Building. New Lease means a new lease agreement or a modification or amendment of an existing lease, license or occupancy agreement which extends the term of said agreement beyond all options and renewal periods provided in said agreement for one of the Adjacent Units signed and delivered by Landlord and a third party or the then current tenant; other than a ground lease for the Building. If Tenant is not in default under this Lease and this Lease remains in effect at that time, Landlord shall not, during the term of this Lease, enter into a New Lease for one of the Adjacent Units without first offering the Adjacent Unit to Tenant under this Article at Fair Market Value (hereinafter defined). Landlords offer of the Adjacent Unit shall be in writing sent by certified mail, overnight delivery service or personal delivery to Tenant at the demised premises specifying a date on which Landlord anticipates obtaining possession of the Adjacent Unit for delivery to Tenant in as is condition for a term corresponding to the balance of the term of this Lease (including any extension terms, as the case may be) as part of the demised premises leased to Tenant under this Lease. Tenant shall have ten (10) business days from its receipt of Landlords offer (time of the essence) to either accept it or reject it by giving written notice of its acceptance thereof to Landlord by certified mail or by reputable overnight delivery service requiring signature from the addressee. If Tenant timely gives its notice of acceptance to Landlord within said ten (10) days (time of the essence), in the manner and under the circumstances described above, then promptly following the determination of Fair Market Value, Landlord and Tenant shall enter into, sign and deliver to each other a modification of this Lease, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Landlord and Tenant, memorializing the terms of the agreement for the Adjacent Unit leased to Tenant under this Article. If Tenant does not give notice of its acceptance to Landlord within the time (of the essence), in the manner and under the circumstances described above or if Tenant rejects such offer, Tenant shall cease to have any rights with respect to the Adjacent Unit and this paragraph shall have no further force or effect. In the event Tenant accepts Landlords offer of any Adjacent Unit, Landlord has the right to elect that the Adjacent Unit also include all or a portion of any hallway area (any such area shall be referred to as the Hallway Premises) used to access such Adjacent Unit. If Landlord elects such option (i) the rent for such Hallway Premises shall be determined by multiplying the rentable square footage of the Hallway Premises by the price per square foot value of the Adjacent Premises (as such price shall be determined in accordance with this Article 53) and adding the total to the rent for the Adjacent Premises and (ii) the other additional rent charges based on the rentable square footage of the demised premises (such as, by way of example only, the trash charge and air-conditioning charge) and Tenants Percentage shall be increased each to reflect the new rentable square footage of the demised premises (including the Adjacent Space and the Hallway Premises).
B. Fair Market Value means the highest annual base rent which Landlord could reasonably expect to obtain from a third party for the Adjacent Unit if Landlord put the Adjacent Unit on the market for lease in as is condition for a term corresponding to the balance of the term of this Lease and which may include annual compounded increases in the annual base rent and may include increases in other business terms of this Lease. If Tenant duly accepts Landlords offer to lease the Adjacent Unit and if Landlord and Tenant are unable to reach a written agreement as to the Fair Market Value within thirty (30) days after Landlord receives Tenants acceptance of Landlords offer, then such dispute shall be resolved exclusively by resort to Adjacent Unit Arbitration (as defined below). If Tenant duly accepts Landlords offer to lease the Adjacent Unit and the Fair Market Value is not determined within thirty (30) days after Landlord receives Tenants acceptance of Landlords offer, then the annual base rent rate payable under the Lease with respect to the Adjacent Unit shall be at the annual base rent rate and other business terms last offered by Landlord within said thirty (30) day period during the period commencing on the later of (i) the date the Adjacent Unit is vacant and (ii) the date Tenant accepts Landlords offer to lease the Adjacent Unit and ending on the earlier of: that date a written agreement is signed and delivered by Landlord and Tenant as to the annual base rent and other business terms for the Adjacent Unit or that date upon which
2 | ||||||||
the annual base rent and other business terms are finally determined by Adjacent Unit Arbitration as set forth in the following paragraph; provided, however, that when the annual base rent and other business terms for the Adjacent Unit Renewal Period are finally determined by written agreement or by Arbitration, then the Lease shall be retroactively amended so that the annual base rent and other business terms for the Adjacent Unit shall be as so finally determined and Tenant shall pay within ten (10) business days following the date the annual base rent and other business terms are finally determined any amounts owed under this Lease or receive a credit if the payments received by Landlord exceeded the annual base rent and other business terms as finally determined.
C. The Adjacent Unit Arbitration shall operate as described in this paragraph. If on or before that date (Acceptance Date) which is thirty (30) days after Landlord receives Tenants acceptance of Landlords offer to lease the Adjacent Unit, Landlord and Tenant have failed to reach a written agreement on the Fair Market Value, then on or before that date which is fifteen (15) days after the Acceptance Date: Landlord shall choose (and pay the costs of) a person who is then (and for the previous ten years has been) a licensed real estate broker engaged in leasing offices located in downtown Brooklyn and/or D.U.M.B.O. (and obtain the acceptance of the person chosen) to act as one of the arbitrators, Tenant shall choose (and pay the costs of) a person who is then (and for the previous ten years has been) a licensed real estate broker engaged in leasing offices located in downtown Brooklyn and/or D.U.M.B.O. (and obtain the acceptance of the person chosen) to act as one of the arbitrators, and each party shall notify the other of the name, address and telephone number of the person who has been selected by it and has agreed with it to act as an arbitrator. If either Landlord or Tenant does not obtain the acceptance of a person satisfying the aforesaid qualifications to act as an arbitrator on its behalf and notify the other party of the contact information for such a person on or before that date which is fifteen (15) days after the Acceptance Date, then said other party may have the American Arbitration Association appoint an arbitrator at the party lacking an arbitrators expense. The two arbitrators shall endeavor to reach an agreement as to what the Fair Market Value should be; and if the two arbitrators cannot agree in writing as to what the Fair Market Value should be on or prior to that date which is forty-five (45) days after the Acceptance Date, they shall choose a third person (who is a licensed commercial real estate broker for at least ten years engaged in leasing office space in downtown Brooklyn and/or D.U.M.B.O.) mutually acceptable to them (and obtain the acceptance of such person they have selected) to act as the third arbitrator. If the two arbitrators cannot agree on whom the third arbitrator shall be or if they are unable to obtain the acceptance of a third arbitrator prior to that date which is sixty (60) days after the Acceptance Date, then Landlord or Tenant may have the American Arbitration Association appoint a third arbitrator. Landlord and Tenant shall split equally the costs of the third arbitrator. The arbitrators representing Landlord and Tenant shall each prepare their own determination of the figure (the Suggested Determination) that should be the Fair Market Value and submit their respective Suggested Determinations in writing to the third arbitrator within ten (10) days after the third arbitrator is chosen. If a determination is not submitted to the third arbitrator within said ten (10) days, then the Suggested Determination for such arbitrator shall be deemed to be that amount which was the last proposal submitted by the party for whom such arbitrator represents. The third arbitrator shall meet with the first two arbitrators to review and discuss the Suggested Determination submitted by each of them or deemed to have been submitted by each of them, and promptly thereafter issue his or her own determination in writing to Landlord and Tenant. The determination of the third arbitrator shall be made on the basis of which Suggested Determination is closest to what the third arbitrator believes the Fair Market Rental should be, and such determination of the third arbitrator must be made only by his or her selecting one of the Suggested Determinations submitted or deemed to have been submitted by the other arbitrators. The determination of the third arbitrator (or the determination mutually agreed to by the two arbitrators, if such written agreement is reached by them before the selection of a third arbitrator is required) shall be binding and conclusive on Landlord and Tenant as to the Fair Market Value.
SEVENTH: Tenant warrants and represents to Landlord that it has not dealt with any real estate broker, agent or finder in connection with the leasing of Suite 712 and the other transactions described in this Agreement and Tenant agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless on demand from and against any and all costs, expenses or liability (including reasonable attorneys fees) for any compensation, commissions, fees and charges claimed by any broker, agent or finder with respect to this Agreement, Suite 712 or the negotiation of the terms hereof due to the dealings of Tenant with the claimant.
EIGHTH: Except as expressly modified and amended herein, and as so modified and amended, the Lease is hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects and shall be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement as of the day and year first above written.

EIGHTH: The Lease is hereby amended by deleting Paragraph Sixth of the Fifth Amendment and adding the following Article 53:
53. Adjacent Units
A. Adjacent Units means all of the storage and office spaces located on the fourth (4th) and fifth (5th) floor of the Building. New Lease means a new lease agreement or a modification or amendment of an existing lease, license or occupancy agreement which extends the term of said agreement beyond all options and renewal periods provided in said agreement for one of the Adjacent Units signed and delivered by Landlord and a third party or the then current tenant; other than a ground lease for the Building. If Tenant is not in default under the Lease beyond any applicable notice and cure period and the Lease remains in effect at that time, Landlord shall not, during the term of this Lease, enter into a New Lease for one of the Adjacent Units without first offering the Adjacent Unit to Tenant under this Article at Fair Market Value (hereinafter defined). Landlords offer of the Adjacent Unit shall be in writing sent by certified mail, overnight delivery service or personal delivery to Tenant at the demised premises specifying an estimate of the Fair Market Value and a date on which Landlord anticipates obtaining possession of the Adjacent Unit for delivery to Tenant in as is condition for a term corresponding to the balance of the term of the Lease (including any extension terms, as the case may be) as part of the demised premises leased to Tenant under the Lease. Tenant shall have fifteen (15) business days from its receipt of Landlords offer (time of the essence) to either accept it or reject it by giving written notice of its acceptance thereof to Landlord by certified mail or by reputable overnight delivery service requiring signature from the addressee. If Tenant timely gives its notice of acceptance to Landlord within said fifteen (15) days (time of the essence), in the manner and under the circumstances described above, then promptly following the determination of Fair Market Value, Landlord and Tenant shall enter into, sign and deliver to each other a modification of the Lease, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Landlord and Tenant, memorializing the terms of the agreement for the Adjacent Unit leased to Tenant under this Article. If Tenant does not give notice of its acceptance to Landlord within the time (of the essence), in the manner and under the circumstances described above or if Tenant rejects such offer, Landlord may enter into a New Lease for the Adjacent Unit within 180 days from the date Tenant rejected such offer (or failed to timely respond to such offer). If Landlord does not enter into a New Lease for the Adjacent Unit within such 180 day period, then Landlord must reoffer the Adjacent Unit to Tenant on the terms set forth in this Article 53 prior to entering into a New Lease with a third party. In the event Tenant again rejects such offer for the Adjacent Unit (or fails to timely respond to such offer), Tenant shall cease to have any rights with respect to the Adjacent Unit and this paragraph shall have no further force or effect. In the event Tenant accepts Landlords offer of any Adjacent Unit, Landlord has the right to elect that the Adjacent Unit also include all or a portion of any hallway area (any such area shall be referred to as the Hallway Premises) used to access such Adjacent Unit. If Landlord elects such option (i) the rent for such Hallway Premises shall be determined by multiplying the rentable square footage of the Hallway Premises by the price per square foot value of the Adjacent Premises (as such price shall be determined in accordance with this Article 53) and adding the total to the rent for the Adjacent Premises, (ii) the other additional rent charges based on the rentable square footage of the demised premises (such as, by way of example only, the trash charge and air-conditioning charge) and Tenants Percentage shall be increased each to reflect the new rentable square footage of the demised premises (including the Adjacent Space and the Hallway Premises) and (iii) Landlord shall be required to remove the non-structural walls in the Adjacent Unit prior to the commencement date of the lease amendment for the Adjacent Unit(s) provided Tenant requests same upon notice delivered to Landlord at least thirty (30) days prior to the commencement date for the lease amendment.
B. Fair Market Value means the highest annual base rent which Landlord could reasonably expect to obtain from a third party for the Adjacent Unit if Landlord put the Adjacent Unit on the market for lease in as is condition for a term corresponding to the balance of the term of this Lease and which
3 | ||||||||
may include annual compounded increases in the annual base rent and may include increases in other business terms of the Lease without any brokerage fee. If Tenant duly accepts Landlords offer to lease the Adjacent Unit and if Landlord and Tenant are unable to reach a written agreement as to the Fair Market Value within thirty (30) days after Landlord receives Tenants acceptance of Landlords offer, then such dispute shall be resolved exclusively by resort to Adjacent Unit Arbitration (as defined below). If Tenant duly accepts Landlords offer to lease the Adjacent Unit and the Fair Market Value is not determined within thirty (30) days after Landlord receives Tenants acceptance of Landlords offer, then the annual base rent rate payable under the Lease with respect to the Adjacent Unit shall be at the annual base rent rate and other business terms last offered by Landlord within said thirty (30) day period during the period commencing on the later of (i) the date the Adjacent Unit is vacant and (ii) the date Tenant accepts Landlords offer to lease the Adjacent Unit and ending on the earlier of: that date a written agreement is signed and delivered by Landlord and Tenant as to the annual base rent and other business terms for the Adjacent Unit or that date upon which the annual base rent and other business terms are finally determined by Adjacent Unit Arbitration as set forth in the following paragraph; provided, however, that when the annual base rent and other business terms for the Adjacent Unit Renewal Period are finally determined by written agreement or by Arbitration, then the Lease shall be retroactively amended so that the annual base rent and other business terms for the Adjacent Unit shall be as so finally determined and Tenant shall pay within ten (10) business days following the date the annual base rent and other business terms are finally determined any amounts owed under this Lease or receive a credit if the payments received by Landlord exceeded the annual base rent and other business terms as finally determined.
C. The Adjacent Unit Arbitration shall operate as described in this paragraph. If on or before that date (Acceptance Date) which is thirty (30) days after Landlord receives Tenants acceptance of Landlords offer to lease the Adjacent Unit, Landlord and Tenant have failed to reach a written agreement on the Fair Market Value, then on or before that date which is fifteen (15) days after the Acceptance Date: Landlord shall choose (and pay the costs of) a person who is then (and for the previous ten years has been) a licensed real estate broker engaged in leasing offices located in downtown Brooklyn and/or D.U.M.B.O. (and obtain the acceptance of the person chosen) to act as one of the arbitrators, Tenant shall choose (and pay the costs of) a person who is then (and for the previous ten years has been) a licensed real estate broker engaged in leasing offices located in downtown Brooklyn and/or D.U.M.B.O. (and obtain the acceptance of the person chosen) to act as one of the arbitrators, and each party shall notify the other of the name, address and telephone number of the person who has been selected by it and has agreed with it to act as an arbitrator. If either Landlord or Tenant does not obtain the acceptance of a person satisfying the aforesaid qualifications to act as an arbitrator on its behalf and notify the other party of the contact information for such a person on or before that date which is fifteen (15) days after the Acceptance Date, then said other party may have the American Arbitration Association appoint an arbitrator at the party lacking an arbitrators expense. The two arbitrators shall endeavor to reach an agreement as to what the Fair Market Value should be; and if the two arbitrators cannot agree in writing as to what the Fair Market Value should be on or prior to that date which is forty-five (45) days after the Acceptance Date, they shall choose a third person (who is a licensed commercial real estate broker for at least ten years engaged in leasing office space in downtown Brooklyn and/or D.U.M.B.O.) mutually acceptable to them (and obtain the acceptance of such person they have selected) to act as the third arbitrator. If the two arbitrators cannot agree on whom the third arbitrator shall be or if they are unable to obtain the acceptance of a third arbitrator prior to that date which is sixty (60) days after the Acceptance Date, then Landlord or Tenant may have the American Arbitration Association appoint a third arbitrator. Landlord and Tenant shall split equally the costs of the third arbitrator. The arbitrators representing Landlord and Tenant shall each prepare their own determination of the figure (the Suggested Determination) that should be the Fair Market Value and submit their respective Suggested Determinations in writing to the third arbitrator within ten (10) days after the third arbitrator is chosen. If a determination is not submitted to the third arbitrator within said ten (10) days, then the Suggested Determination for such arbitrator shall be deemed to be that amount which was the last proposal submitted by the party for whom such arbitrator represents. The third arbitrator shall meet with the first two arbitrators to review and discuss the Suggested Determination submitted by each of them or deemed to have been submitted by each of them, and promptly thereafter issue his or her own determination in writing to Landlord and Tenant. The determination of the third arbitrator shall be made on the basis of which Suggested Determination is closest to what the third arbitrator believes the Fair Market Rental should be, and such determination of the third arbitrator must be made only by his or her selecting one of the Suggested Determinations submitted or deemed to have been submitted by the other arbitrators. The determination of the third arbitrator (or the determination mutually agreed to by the two arbitrators, if such written agreement is reached by them before the selection of a third arbitrator is required) shall be binding and conclusive on Landlord and Tenant as to the Fair Market Value.
