apportioned from the day following the casualty, according to the part of the premises which is usable. 9.1 (c) If the demised premises are totally damaged or rendered wholly unusable by fire or other casualty, then the rent and other items of additional rent, as hereinafter expressly provided, shall be proportionately paid up to the time of the casualty, and thenceforth shall cease until the date when the demised premises shall have been repaired and restored by Owner (or if sooner reoccupied in part by the Tenant then rent shall be apportioned as provided in subsection (b) above), subject to Owner’s right to elect not to restore the same as hereinafter provided. (d) If the demised premises are rendered wholly unusable or (whether or not the demised premises are damaged in whole or in part) if the building shall be so damaged that Owner shall decide to demolish it or to rebuild it, then, in any of such events, Owner may elect to terminate this lease by written notice to Tenant, given within ninety (90) days after such fire or casualty, or thirty (30) days after adjustment of the insurance claim for such fire or casualty, whichever is sooner, specifying a date for the expiration of the lease, which date shall not be more than sixty (60) days after the giving of such notice, and upon the date specified in such notice the term of this lease shall expire as fully and completely as if such date were the date set forth above for the termination of this lease, and Tenant shall forthwith quit, surrender and vacate the demised premises without prejudice however, to Landlord’s rights and remedies against Tenant under the lease provisions in effect prior to such termination, and any rent owing shall be paid up to such date, and any payments of rent made by Tenant which were on account of any period subsequent to such date shall be returned to Tenant. Unless Owner shall serve a termination notice as provided for herein, Owner shall make the repairs and restorations under the conditions of (b) and (c) hereof, with all reasonable expedition, subject to delays due to adjustment of insurance claims, labor troubles and causes beyond Owner’s control. After any such casualty, Tenant shall cooperate with Owner’s restoration by removing from the demised premises as promptly as reasonably possible, all of Tenant’s salvageable inventory and movable equipment, furniture, and other property. Tenant’s liability for rent shall resume five (5) days after written notice from Owner that the demised premises are substantially ready for Tenant’s occupancy. 9.2 (e) Nothing contained hereinabove shall relieve Tenant from liability that may exist as a result of damage from fire or other casualty. Notwithstanding anything contained to the contrary in subdivisions (a) through (e) hereof, including Owner’s obligation to restore under subparagraph (b) above, each party shall look first to any insurance in its favor before making any claim against the other party for recovery for loss or damage resulting from fire or other casualty, and to the extent that such insurance is in force and collectible, and to the extent permitted by law, Owner and Tenant each hereby releases and waives all right of recovery with respect to subparagraphs (b), (d) and (e) above, against the other, or any one claiming through or under each of them by way of subrogation or otherwise. The release and waiver herein referred to shall be deemed to include any loss or damage to the demised premises and/or to any personal property, equipment, trade fixtures, goods and merchandise located therein. The foregoing release and waiver shall be in force only if both releasors’ insurance policies contain a clause providing that such a release or waiver shall not invalidate the insurance. If, and to the extent, that such waiver can be obtained only by the payment of additional premiums, then the party benefiting from the waiver shall pay such premium within ten days after written demand or shall be deemed to have agreed that the party obtaining insurance coverage shall be free of any further obligation under the provisions hereof with respect to waiver of subrogation. Tenant acknowledges that Owner will not carry insurance on Tenant’s furniture and or furnishings or any fixtures or equipment, improvements, or appurtenances removable by Tenant, and agrees that Owner will not be obligated to repair any

5

damage thereto or replace the same. (f) The provisions of this Article shall be considered an express agreement governing any case of damage or destruction of the demised premises or the building by fire or other casualty and Tenant hereby waives the provisions of Section 227 of the Real Property Law any law to the contrary, now or hereafter in force and agrees that the provisions of this article shall govern and control in lieu thereof.

10.                               Eminent Domain:  If the whole or any material part of the demised premises shall be acquired or condemned by Eminent Domain for any public or quasi public use or purpose, then and in that event, the term of this lease shall cease and terminate from the date of title vesting in such proceeding, and Tenant shall have no claim for the value of any unexpired term of said lease, and assigns to Owner, Tenant’s entire interest in such award. Tenant shall have the right to make an independent claim to the condemning authority for the value of Tenant’s moving expenses and personal property, trade fixtures and equipment, provided Tenant is entitled pursuant to the terms of the lease to remove such property, trade fixtures and equipment at the end of the term, and provided further such claim does not reduce Owner’s award.

11.                               Assignment, Mortgage, Etc.:  Tenant, for itself, its heirs, distributees, executors, administrators, legal representatives, successors and assigns, expressly covenants that it shall not assign, mortgage or encumber this agreement, nor underlet, or suffer or permit the demised premises or any part thereof to be used by others, without the prior written consent of Owner in each instance. Transfer of the majority of the stock of a corporate Tenant or the majority interest in any partnership or other legal entity which is Tenant shall be deemed an assignment. If this lease be assigned, or if the demised premises or any part thereof be underlet or occupied by anybody other than Tenant, Owner may, after default by Tenant, collect rent from the assignee, under-tenant or occupant, and apply the net amount collected to the rent herein reserved, but no such assignment, underletting, occupancy or collection shall be deemed a waiver of this covenant, or the acceptance of the assignee, undertenant or occupant as tenant, or a release of Tenant from the further performance by Tenant of covenants on the part of Tenant herein contained. The consent by Owner to an assignment or underletting shall not in any way be construed to relieve Tenant from obtaining the express consent in writing of Owner to any further assignment or underletting.

12.                               Electric Current:  Rates and conditions in respect to submetering or rent inclusion, as the case may be, to be added in RIDER attached hereto. Tenant covenants and agrees that at all times its use of electric current shall not exceed the capacity of existing feeders to the building or the risers or wiring installation, and Tenant may not use any electrical equipment which, in Owner’s opinion, reasonably exercised, will overload such installations or interfere with the use thereof by other tenants of the building. The change at any time of the character of electric service shall in no way make Owner liable or responsible to Tenant, for any loss, damages or expenses which Tenant may sustain.

13.                               Access to Premises:  Owner or Owner’s agents shall have the right (but shall not be obligated) to enter the demised premises in any emergency at any time, and, at other reasonable times, [13.1] to examine the same and to make such repairs, replacements and improvements as Owner may deem necessary and reasonably desirable to the demised premises or to any other portion of the building or which Owner may elect to perform. Tenant shall permit Owner to use and maintain and replace pipes, ducts, and conduits in and through the demised

6

premises and to erect new pipes, ducts, and conduits therein, provided they are concealed within the walls, floor, or ceiling. Owner may, during the progress of any work in the demised premises, take all necessary materials and equipment into said premises without the same constituting an eviction, nor shall the Tenant be entitled to any abatement of rent while such work is in progress, nor to any damages by reason of loss or interruption of business or otherwise. 13.2 Throughout the term hereof, Owner shall have the right to enter the demised premises at reasonable hours 13.3 for the purpose of showing the same to prospective purchasers or mortgagees of the building, and during the last six twelve (12) months of the term, for the purpose of showing the same to prospective tenants. If Tenant is not present to open and permit an entry into the demised premises, Owner or Owner’s agents may enter the same whenever such entry may be necessary or permissible by master key or forcibly, and provided reasonable care is exercised to safeguard Tenant’s property, such entry shall not render Owner or its agents liable therefor, nor in any event shall the obligations of Tenant hereunder be affected. If during the last month of the term Tenant shall have removed all or substantially all of Tenant’s property therefrom. Owner may immediately enter, alter, renovate or redecorate the demised premises without limitation or abatement of rent, or incurring liability to Tenant for any compensation, and such act shall have no effect on this lease or Tenant’s obligation hereunder.

14.                               Vault, Vault Space, Area:  No vaults, vault space or area, whether or not enclosed or covered, not within the property line of the building, is leased hereunder, anything contained in or indicated on any sketch, blue print or plan, or anything contained elsewhere in this lease to the contrary notwithstanding. Owner makes no representation as to the location of the property line of the building. All vaults and vault space and all such areas not within the property line of the building, which Tenant may be permitted to use and/or occupy, is to be used and/or occupied under a revocable license, and if any such license be revoked, or if the amount of such space or area be diminished or required by any federal, state or municipal authority or public utility, Owner shall not be subject to any liability, nor shall Tenant be entitled to any compensation or diminution or abatement of rent, nor shall such revocation, diminution or requisition be deemed constructive or actual eviction. Any tax, fee or charge of municipal authorities for such vault or area shall be paid by Tenant.

15.                               Occupancy:  Tenant will not at any time use or occupy the demised premises in violation of the certificate of occupancy issued for the building of which the demised premises are a part. Tenant has inspected the premises and accepts them as is, subject to the riders annexed hereto with respect to Owner’s work, if any. In any event, Owner makes no representation as to the condition of the demised premises, and Tenant agrees to accept the same subject to violations, whether or not of record.

16.                               Bankruptcy:  (a) Anything elsewhere in this lease to the contrary notwithstanding, this lease may be cancelled by Owner by the sending of a written notice to Tenant within a reasonable time after the happening of any one or more of the following events: (1) the commencement of a case in bankruptcy or under the laws of any state naming Tenant (or a guarantor of any of Tenant’s obligations under this lease) as the debtor; or (2) the making by Tenant (or a guarantor of any of Tenant’s obligations under this lease) of an assignment or any other arrangement for the benefit of creditors under any state statute. Neither Tenant nor any person claiming through or under Tenant, or by reason of any statute or order of court, shall thereafter be entitled to possession of the premises demised but shall forthwith quit and surrender

7

the demised premises. If this lease shall be assigned in accordance with its terms, the provisions of this Article 16 shall be applicable only to the party then owning Tenant’s interest in this lease.

(b)                                 It is stipulated and agreed that in the event of the termination of this lease pursuant to (a) hereof, Owner shall forthwith, notwithstanding any other provisions of this lease to the contrary, be entitled to recover from Tenant as and for liquidated damages, an amount equal to the difference between the rent reserved hereunder for the unexpired portion of the term demised and the fair and reasonable rental value of the demised premises for the same period. In the computation of such damages the difference between any installment of rent becoming due hereunder after the date of termination, and the fair and reasonable rental value of the demised premises for the period for which such installment was payable, shall be discounted to the date of termination at the rate of four percent (4%) per annum. If such premises or any part thereof be re-let by the Owner for the unexpired term of said lease, or any part thereof, before presentation of proof of such liquidated damages to any court, commission or tribunal, the amount of rent reserved upon such re-letting shall be deemed to be the fair and reasonable rental value for the part or the whole of the demised premises so re-let during the term of the re-letting. Nothing herein contained shall limit or prejudice the right of the Owner to prove for and obtain as liquidated damages, by reason of such termination, an amount equal to the maximum allowed by any statute or rule of law in effect at the time when, and governing the proceedings in which, such damages are to be proved, whether or not such amount be greater, equal to, or less than, the amount of the difference referred to above.

17.                               Default:  (1) If Tenant defaults in fulfilling any of the covenants of this lease other than the covenants for the payment of rent or additional rent; or if the demised premises becomes vacant or deserted; or if any execution or attachment shall be issued against Tenant or any of Tenant’s property, whereupon the demised premises shall be taken or occupied by someone other than Tenant; or if this lease be rejected under §365 of Title 11 of the U.S. Code (Bankruptcy Code); or if Tenant shall have failed, after five (5) days written notice, to redeposit with Owner any portion of the security deposited hereunder which Owner has applied to the payment of any rent and additional rent due and payable hereunder, or if Tenant shall be default with respect to any other lease between Owner and Tenant; or if Tenant shall fail to move into or take possession of the demised premises within thirty (30) days after the commencement of the term of this lease, then in any one or more of such events, upon Owner serving a written fifteen (15) days notice upon Tenant specifying the nature of said default, and upon the expiration of said fifteen (15) days, if Tenant shall have failed to comply with or remedy such default, or if the said default or omission complained of shall be of a nature that the same cannot be completely cured or remedied within said fifteen (15) day period, and if Tenant shall not have diligently commenced during such default within such fifteen (15) day period, and shall not thereafter with reasonable diligence and in good faith, proceed to remedy or cure such default, then Owner may serve a written five (5) days notice of cancellation of this lease upon Tenant, and upon the expiration of said five (5) days this lease and the term thereunder shall end and expire as fully and completely as if the expiration of such five (5) day period were the day herein definitely fixed for the end and expiration of this lease and the term thereof, and Tenant shall then quit and surrender the demised premises to Owner, but Tenant shall remain liable as hereinafter provided.

(2)                                 If the notice provided for in (1) hereof shall have been given, and the term shall expire as aforesaid; or if Tenant shall make default in the payment of the rent reserved herein or

8

any item of additional rent herein mentioned or any part of either or in making any other payment herein required 17.1; then, and in any of such events, Owner may without notice, re-enter the demised premises either by force or otherwise, and dispossess Tenant by summary proceedings or otherwise, and the legal representative of Tenant or other occupant of demised premises, and remove their effects and hold the demised premises as if this lease had not been made, and Tenant hereby waives the service of notice of intention to re-enter or to institute legal proceeding to that end. If Tenant shall make default hereunder prior to the date fixed as the commencement of any renewal or extension of this lease, Owner may cancel and terminate such renewal or extension agreement by written notice.

18.                               Remedies of Owner and Waiver of Redemption:  In case of any such default, re-entry, expiration and/or dispossess by summary proceedings or otherwise, (a) the rent shall become due thereupon and be paid up to the time of such re-entry, dispossess and/or expiration, (b) Owner may re-let the demised premises or any part or parts thereof, either in the name of Owner or otherwise, for a term or terms, which may at Owner’s option be less than or exceed the period which would otherwise have constituted the balance of the term of this lease, and may grant concessions or free rent or charge a higher rental than that in this lease, and/or (c) Tenant or the legal representatives of Tenant shall also pay to Owner as liquidated damages for the failure of Tenant to observe and perform said Tenant’s covenants herein contained, any deficiency between the rent hereby reserved and/or covenanted to be paid and the net amount, if any, of the rents collected on account of the lease or leases of the demised premises for each month of the period which would otherwise have constituted the balance of the term of this lease. The failure of Owner to re-let the demised premises, or any part or parts thereof, shall not release or affect Tenant’s liability for damages. In computing such liquidated damages there shall be added to the said deficiency such expenses as Owner may incur in connection with re-letting, such as legal expenses, reasonable attorney’s fees, brokerage, advertising and for keeping the demised premises in good order or for preparing the same for re-letting. Any such liquidated damages shall be paid in monthly installments by Tenant on the rent day specified in this lease, and any suit brought to collect the amount of the deficiency for any month shall not prejudice in any way the rights of Owner to collect the deficiency for any subsequent month by a similar proceeding. Owner, in putting the demised premises in good order or preparing the same for re-rental may, at Owner’s option, make such alterations, repairs, replacements, and/or decorations in the demised premises as Owner, in Owner’s sole judgment, considers advisable and necessary for the purpose of re-letting the demised premises, and the making of such alterations, repairs, replacements, and/or decorations shall not operate or be construed to release Tenant from liability hereunder as aforesaid. Owner shall in no event be liable in any way whatsoever for failure to re-let the demised premises, or in the event that the demised premises are re-let, for failure to collect the rent thereof under such re-letting, and in no event shall Tenant be entitled to receive any excess, if any, of such net rents collected over the sums payable by Tenant to Owner hereunder. In the event of a breach or threatened breach by Tenant of any of the covenants or provisions hereof, Owner shall have the right of injunction and the right to invoke any remedy allowed at law or in equity as if re-entry, summary proceedings and other remedies were not herein provided for. Mention in this lease of any particular remedy, shall not preclude Owner from any other remedy, in law or in equity. Tenant hereby expressly waives any and all rights of redemption granted by or under any present or future laws in the event of Tenant being evicted or dispossessed for any cause, or in the event of Owner obtaining possession of the demised premises, by reason of the violation by Tenant of any of the covenants and conditions of this

9

lease, or otherwise.

19.                               Fees and Expenses:  If Tenant shall default in the observance or performance of any term or covenant on Tenant’s part to be observed or performed under, or by virtue of any of the terms or provisions in any article of this lease, after notice if required, and upon expiration of any applicable grace period, if any, (except in an emergency), then, unless otherwise provided elsewhere in this lease, Owner may immediately, or at any time thereafter and without notice, perform the obligation of Tenant thereunder. If Owner, in connection with the foregoing, or in connection with any default by Tenant in the covenant to pay rent hereunder, makes any expenditures or incurs any obligations for the payment of money, including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees, in instituting, prosecuting or defending any action or proceeding, and prevails in any such action or proceeding, then Tenant will reimburse Owner for such sums so paid, or obligations incurred, with interest and costs. The foregoing expenses incurred by reason of Tenant’s default shall be deemed to be additional rent hereunder, and shall be paid by Tenant to Owner within ten (10) days of rendition of any bill or statement to Tenant therefor. If Tenant’s lease term shall have expired at the time of making of such expenditures or incurring of such obligations, such sums shall be recoverable by Owner, as damages.

20.                               Building Alterations and Management:  Owner shall have the right at any time without the same constituting an eviction and without incurring liability to Tenant therefore, to change the arrangement and/or location of public entrances, passageways, doors, doorways, corridors, elevators, stairs, toilets or other public parts of the building, and to change the name, number or designation by which the building may be known. There shall be no allowance to Tenant for diminution of rental value and no liability on the part of Owner by reason of inconvenience, annoyance or injury to business arising from Owner or other Tenants making any repairs in the building or any such alterations, additions and improvements. Furthermore, Tenant shall not have any claim against Owner by reason of Owner’s imposition of such controls of the manner of access to the building by Tenant’s social or business visitors as the Owner may deem necessary for the security of the building and its occupants.

21.                               No Representations Owner:  Neither Owner nor Owner’s agents have made any representations or promises with respect to the physical condition of the building, the land upon which it is erected or the demised premises, the rents, leases, expenses of operation or any other matter or thing affecting or related to the demised premises, except as herein expressly set forth, and no rights, easements or licenses are acquired by Tenant by implication or otherwise, except as expressly set forth in the provisions of this lease. Tenant has inspected the building and the demised premises and is thoroughly acquainted with their condition and agrees to take the same “as is”, and acknowledges that the taking of possession of the demised premises by Tenant shall be conclusive evidence that the said premises and the building of which the same form a part were in good and satisfactory condition at the time such possession was so taken, except as to latent defects. All understandings and agreements heretofore made between the parties hereto are merged in this contract, which alone fully and completely expresses the agreement between Owner and Tenant, and any executory agreement hereafter made shall be ineffective to change, modify, discharge or effect an abandonment of it in whole or in part, unless such executory agreement is in writing and signed by the party against whom enforcement of the change, modification, discharge or abandonment is sought.

10

22.                               End of Term:  Upon the expiration or other termination of the term of this lease, Tenant shall quit and surrender to Owner the demised premises, broom clean, in good order and condition, ordinary wear and damages which Tenant is not required to repair as provided elsewhere in this lease excepted, and Tenant shall remove all its property from the demised premises. Tenant’s obligation to observe or perform this covenant shall survive the expiration or other termination of this lease. If the last day of the term of this Lease or any renewal thereof, falls on Sunday, this lease shall expire at noon on the preceding Saturday unless it be a legal holiday in which case it shall expire at noon on the preceding business day.

23.                               Quiet Enjoyment:  Owner covenants and agrees with Tenant that upon Tenant paying the rent and additional rent and observing and performing all the terms, covenants and conditions, on Tenant’s part to be observed and performed, Tenant may peaceably and quietly enjoy the premises hereby demised, subject, nevertheless, to the terms and conditions of this lease including, but not limited to, Article 31 hereof, and to the ground leases, underlying leases and mortgages hereinbefore mentioned.

24.                               Failure to Give Possession:  If Owner is unable to give possession of the demised premises on the date of the commencement of the term hereof, because of the holding-over or retention of possession of any tenant, undertenant or occupants or if the demised premises are located in a building being constructed, because such building has not been sufficiently completed to make the premises ready for occupancy or because of the fact that a certificate of occupancy has not been procured or if Owner has not completed any work required to be performed by Owner, or for any other reason, Owner shall not be subject to any liability for failure to give possession on said date and the validity of the lease shall not be impaired under such circumstances, nor shall the same be construed in any way to extend the term of this lease, but the rent payable hereunder shall be abated (provided Tenant is not responsible for Owner’s inability to obtain possession or complete any work required) until after Owner shall have given Tenant notice that Owner is able to deliver possession in the condition required by this lease. If permission is given to Tenant to enter into the possession of the demised premises or to occupy premises other than the demised premises prior to the date specified as the commencement of the term of this lease, Tenant covenants and agrees that such possession and/or occupancy shall be deemed to be under all the terms, covenants, conditions and provisions of this lease, except the obligation to pay the fixed annual rent set forth in the preamble to this lease. The provisions of this article are intended to constitute “an express provision to the contrary” within the meaning of Section 223 a of the New York Real Property Law.

25.                               No Waiver:  The failure of Owner to seek redress for violation of, or to insist upon the strict performance of any covenant or condition of this lease or of any of the Rules or Regulations, set forth or hereafter adopted by Owner, shall not prevent a subsequent act which would have originally constituted a violation from having all the force and effect of an original violation.  The receipt by Owner of rent and/or additional rent with knowledge of the breach of any covenant of this lease shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach, and no provision of this lease shall be deemed to have been waived by Owner unless such waiver be in writing signed by Owner.  No payment by Tenant or receipt by Owner of a lesser amount than the monthly rent herein stipulated shall be deemed to be other than on account of the earliest stipulated rent, nor shall any endorsement or statement of any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment, as rent be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Owner may accept such check or

11

payment without prejudice to Owner’s right to recover the balance of such rent or pursue any other remedy in this lease provided. No act or thing done by Owner’s agents during the term hereby demised shall be deemed an acceptance of a surrender of the demised premises, and no agreement to accept such surrender shall be valid unless in writing signed by Owner.  No employee or Owner or Owner’s agent shall have any power to accept the keys of said premises prior to the termination of the lease, and the delivery of keys to any such agent or employee shall not operate as a termination of the lease or a surrender of the demised premises.

26.                               Waiver of Trial by Jury:  It is mutually agreed by and between Owner and Tenant that the respective parties hereto shall, and they hereby do, waive trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim brought by either of the parties hereto against the other (except for personal injury or property damage) on any matters whatsoever arising out of or in any way connected with, this lease, the relationship of Owner and Tenant, Tenant’s use of or occupancy of, the demised premises, and any emergency statutory or any other statutory remedy. It is further mutually agreed that in the event Owner commences any proceeding or action for possession, including a summary proceeding for possession of the premises, Tenant will not interpose any counterclaim of whatever nature or description in any such proceeding, including a counterclaim under Article 4, except for statutory mandatory counterclaims.

27.                               Inability to Perform:  This Lease and the obligation of Tenant to pay rent hereunder and perform all of the other covenants and agreements hereunder on part of Tenant to be performed shall in no wise be affected, impaired or excused because Owner is unable to fulfill any of its obligations under this lease, or to supply, or is delayed in supplying, any service expressly or impliedly to be supplied, or is unable to make, or is delayed in making any repair, additions, alterations, or decorations, or is unable to supply, or is delayed in supplying any equipment, fixtures or other materials, if Owner is prevented or delayed from doing so by reason of strike or labor troubles or any cause whatsoever including, but not limited to, government preemption or restrictions, or by reason of any rule, order or regulation of any department or subdivision thereof of any government agency, or by reason of the conditions which have been or are affected, either directly or indirectly, by war or other emergency.

28.                               Bills and Notices:  Except as otherwise in this lease provided, any notice, statement, demand, or other communication required or permitted to be given, rendered or made by either party to the other, pursuant to this lease or pursuant to any applicable law or requirement of public authority, shall be in writing (whether or not so stated elsewhere in this lease) and shall be deemed to have been properly given, rendered or made, if sent by registered or certified mail (express mail, if available), return receipt requested, or by courier guaranteeing overnight delivery and furnishing a receipt in evidence thereof, addressed to the other party at the address hereinabove set forth (except that after the date specified as the commencement of the term of this lease, Tenant’s address, unless Tenant shall give notice to the contrary, shall be the building), and shall be deemed to have been given, rendered or made (a) on the date delivered, if delivered to Tenant personally, (b) on the date delivered, if delivered by overnight courier or (c) on the date which is two (2) days after being mailed.  Either party may; by notice as aforesaid, designated a different address or addressed for notices, statements, demand or other communications intended for it.  Notices given by Owner’s managing agent shall be deemed a valid notice if addressed and set in accordance with the provisions of this Article.  At Owner’s option, notices and bills to Tenant may be sent by hand delivery.  [28.1]

To 6:00 p.m., and ventilation will be furnished on business days during the aforesaid hours except when air conditioning/cooling is being furnished as aforesaid.  If Tenant requires air condition/cooling or ventilation for more extended hours on Saturdays, Sundays or on holidays, as defined under Owner’s contract with the applicable Operating Engineers contract, Owner will furnish the same at Tenant’s expense; RIDER to be added in respect to rates and conditions for such additional services; (1) Owner reserves the right to stop services of the heating, elevators, plumbing, air-conditioning, electric, power systems or cleaning or other services, if any, when necessary by reason of accident, or for repairs, alterations, replacements or improvements necessary or desirable in the judgment of Owner, for as long as may be reasonably required by reason thereof.  If the building of which the demised premises are a part supplies manually operated elevator service, Owner at any time may substitute automatic control elevator service and proceed diligently with alterations necessary therefor without in any way affecting this lease or the obligations of Tenant hereunder.

30.          Captions:  The Captions are inserted only as a matter of convenience and for reference, and in no way define, limit or describe the scope of this lease nor the intent of any provision thereof.

31.          Definitions:  The term “office”, or “offices”, wherever used in this lease, shall not be construed to mean premises used as a store or stores, for the sale or display, at any time, of goods, wares or merchandise, of any kind, or as a restaurant, shop, booth, bootblack or other stand, barber shop, or for other similar purposes, or for manufacturing.  The term “Owner” means a landlord or lessor, and as used in this lease means only the owner, or the mortgagee in possession for the time being, of the land and building (or the owner of a lease of the building or of the land and building) of which the demised premises form a part, so that in the event of any sale or sales or conveyance, assignment or transfer of said land and building, or of said lease, or in the event of a least of said building, or of the land and building, the said Owner shall be, and hereby is, entirely freed and relieved of all covenants and obligations of Owner hereunder, and it shall be deemed and construed without further agreement between the parties or their successors

34.          Security:  Tenant has deposited with Owner the sum of $50,706.68 as security for the faithful performance and observance by Tenant of the terms, provisions and conditions of this lease; it is agreed that in the event Tenant defaults in respect of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of this lease, including, but not limited to, the payment of rent and additional rent, Owner may use, apply or retain the whole or any part of the security so deposited to the extent required for the payment of any rent and additional rent, or any other sum as to which Tenant is in default, or for any sum which Owner may expend or may be required to expend by reason of Tenant’s default in respect of any of the terms, covenants and conditions of this lease, including but not limited to, any damages or deficiency in the re-letting of the demised premises, whether such damages or deficiency accrued before or after summary proceedings or other re-entry by Owner.  In the case of every such use, application or retention, Tenant shall, within five (5) days

38.          Term.

(a)           The term of this Lease, for which the Premises are hereby leased, shall commence upon execution of this Lease.  Subject to the provisions of Section 38(b) hereof, Tenant’s right to occupy the Premises and Tenant’s obligation to pay fixed rent and all items of additional rent shall commence on the date (the “Rent Commencement Date”) which is the earlier to occur of (i) five (5) days ‘after the day on which Landlord’s Work is substantially completed (as hereinafter defined), or (ii) the day Tenant or anyone claiming under or though Tenant shall take possession of any part of the Premises and commence doing business therein.  The term of this Lease shall end at noon of the last day of the calendar month in which occurs the end of a five (5) year period from the Rent Commencement Date (the “Expiration Date”) or shall end on such earlier date upon which the term may expire or be cancelled or terminated pursuant to any of the conditions or covenants of this Lease or pursuant to law.  Promptly following the Rent Commencement Date, Landlord shall send to Tenant a notice fixing the Rent Commencement Date.

(b)           The terms “substantial completion” and “substantially completed” (or other variations thereof), as used herein, are defined to mean when the only items of Landlord’s Work needed to be completed are punchlist items; but if Landlord shall be delayed in such “substantial completion” as a result of any act or omission of Tenant or any of its .employees, agents or contractors, including but not limited to (i) Tenant’s failure to furnish plans and specifications; (ii) Tenant’s request for materials, finishes or installations other than Landlord’s standard; (iii) Tenant’s changes in said plans or specifications; (iv) the performance or completion of any work, labor or services by Tenant or a party employed by Tenant; (v) Tenant’s interference with the performance of Landlord’s Work; (vi) Tenant’s failure to approve, or approve as noted, final construction documents within five (5) business days after submission thereof to Tenant for approval; (vii) Tenant’s failure to provide Landlord with finish specifications for Landlord’s Work within seven (7) days of Landlord’s delivery to Tenant of a fully-executed original of this lease; or (viii) failure by Tenant to act within any required tune period set forth herein or, if no time period is specified with respect to a particular action, to act promptly after such action is requested (all such delays being hereinafter referred to as “Tenant Delay”); then the Rent Commencement Date shall be accelerated by the number of days of such Tenant Delay (however, Landlord shall not be obligated to deliver the Premises to Tenant and Tenant shall not have the right to occupy the Premises until Landlord’s Work is “substantially completed”).

3

(c)           A “Lease Year” shall be comprised of a period of twelve (12) consecutive months: The first Lease Year shall commence on the Rent Commencement Date but, notwithstanding the first sentence of this paragraph, if the Rent Commencement Date is not the first day of a month, then the first Lease Year shall include the additional period from the Rent Commencement Date to the end of the then current month.  Each succeeding Lease Year shall end on the anniversary date of the last day of the preceding Lease Year.  For example, if the Rent Commencement Date is April 1, 2008, the first Lease Year would begin on April 1, 2008 and end on March 31, 2009 and each succeeding Lease Year would end on March 31st.  If, however, the Rent Commencement Date is April 2, 2008, the first Lease Year would begin on April 2, 2008 and end on April 30, 2009, the second Lease Year would begin on May 1, 2009 and end on April 30, 2010, and each succeeding Lease Year would end on April 30th.

(vi)                              Without affecting any of its other obligations under this lease, Tenant will pay Landlord, as additional rent, fifty (50%) percent of any sums or other economic consideration, which (A) are due and payable to Tenant as a result of any permitted assignment or subletting whether or not referred to as rentals under the assignment or sublease (after deducting therefrom the reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Tenant in connection with the assignment or subletting in question provided such costs were approved by Landlord when it approved the assignment or sublease); and (B) exceed in total the sums which Tenant is obligated to pay Landlord under this lease (prorated to reflect obligations allocable to that portion of the Premises subject to such assignment or sublease), it being the express intention of the parties that Tenant and Landlord shall share equally any profit front such sublease or assignment.  The failure or inability of the assignee or subtenant to pay rent pursuant to the assignment or sublease will not relieve Tenant from its obligations to Landlord under this subparagraph 57(e).  Tenant will not amend the assignment or sublease in such a way as to reduce or delay payment of amounts which are provided in the assignment or sublease approved by Landlord.

INSTRUCTIONS TO TENANT’S CONTRACTORS

1.                                      It shall he Tenant’s contractor’s responsibility to schedule the performance of his work and notify the Landlord’s Property Manager of his proposed schedule, so that the contractor’s elevator usage for material deliveries and rubbish removal may be coordinated with the over-all project (reserved) hoisting usage.

Elevator use for construction and moves may only occur during the hours of 6:00 P.M.  through 7:00 A.M.  on business days and only with prior notice and approval of the Landlord.  Elevator use on non-business days may occur at any time and again only with prior notice and approval of the Landlord.  Tenant is responsible for all building standard charges normally associated with such use.  With respect to Tenant’s move into and out of the Premises, such charges shall be limited to charge for a security guard to be present to supervise such move.

2.                                      The Tenant’s contractor shall notify Landlord’s Property Manager at least four (4) weeks prior to his proposed starting date to perform any Alterations (“Tenant’s Work”) and at that time will discuss the arrangements and requirements of his schedule.  The following items will be discussed to determine the scheduled reservation time:

a.                                      Material delivery, schedule - dates - times

b.                                      Number of vehicles

c.                                       Elevator Service and hoist reservation time

d.                                      Docking arrangements and reservation time

e.                                       Insurance requirements

f.                                        Names and telephone numbers of contact and coordinator

3.                                      The Tenant’s contractor shall confirm his schedule with the Landlord’s Property Manager, not less than 48 hours in advance of his pre-scheduled material deliveries.  It shall be Tenant’s contractor’s sole responsibility to confirm his reservation times, and in the event that the confirmation is not verified and re-executed it shall be deemed that his reservations are to be voided (cancelled) and allocated to others.  He shall then be required to re-schedule both his deliveries and his reservations through the Landlord’s Property Manager.  In all fairness to the other Tenants going into tits building, if Tenant’s contractor fails to meet or confirm the date, his contractor will have to wait until there is free time in the material delivery and hoisting schedule before they will be allowed to perform Tenant’s Work, Landlord’s Property Manager will make every effort to accommodate the Tenant’s contractor as early as possible, but it is very likely that to re-schedule would effect a serious time delay; you can clearly see, then, that it is extremely important to confirm the schedule not less than 48 hours in advance, and if possible, preferably three to five days ahead of time.

4.                                      Tenant and its contractors shall remain responsible for the scheduling and transportation of material and equipment used in the performance of Tenant’s Work and for the removal from the Building of waste and debris resulting from the performance of Tenant’s Work, and Landlord shall not be responsible for coordination of the work of Tenant’s contractors

43

with the work of Landlord’s contractors.  However, Landlord and Tenant shall cooperate in their respective performances of Landlord’s and Tenant’s Work in order to enable the same to be properly coordinated.  Tenant shall not be under any obligation to employ any of Landlord’s contractors or to pay any charge to any of them by reason of Tenant’s having other contractors or purchasing any materials or labor or employing nay labor front other sources.  Tenant and its contractors shall not be under any obligation to pay for water, electricity, heat, ventilation or cooling provided in the Premises during the performance of any of Tenant’s Work during normal working hours of the Building construction project.

5.                                      Temporary staging of materials and equipment in public areas is not permitted.

6.                                      Should large equipment or materials need to be transported via dollies and/or carts, then the contractor transporting such equipment or materials shall protect all routes over finished floors with a minimum of 3/8” plywood runway, which will be picked up at the close of work each day.

7.                                      All areas traveled are to be broom cleaned at tire close of each day.  Elevators are to be swept and debris carried from the car, NOT swept across the door opening.

8.                                      Workmen should use the toilet facilities provided by the general contractor.

9.                                      The hoisting load limit of 3,000 pounds in passenger elevator is NOT to be exceeded.

10.                               All packing and crating materials must be removed at the end of each day, and not be left to accumulate over night (fire hazard).

11.                               The Tenant’s contractor must utilize labor that will work in harmony with other labor in the Building.  In addition, Landlord’s Property Manager should receive not later than two weeks prior to contractor’s performance of Tenant’s Work, insurance certificates evidencing the following minimum coverages:

(i) insurance carrier must have a Best’s rating of A VIII or better.

(ii) Certificates of insurance must be provided prior to the commencement of any work performed.

3.                                      It is specifically understood that: (a) All installations of electrical fixtures, appliances and equipment within the Premises shall be subject to Landlord’s prior written approval; and (b) in the event that Tenant shall require additional electrical energy for use in the Premises and if, in Landlord’s sole judgment, Landlord’s facilities are inadequate for such additional requirements, and if electrical energy for such additional requirements is available to Landlord, Landlord, upon written request and the sole cost and expense of Tenant, will furnish and install such additional wires, risers, conduits, feeders, panels and switchboards as reasonably may be required to supply such additional requirements of the Tenant provided: (1) that same shall be permitted by applicable laws and not in violation of any insurance regulations or recommendations, (2) that, in Landlord’s sole judgment, the same are necessary and will not cause permanent damage or injury to the Building or the Premises or cause or create a dangerous or hazardous condition or entail excessive or unreasonable alterations or repairs or interfere with or disturb other tenants or occupants of the Building, (3) that Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, shall, concurrently with the making of such written request, execute and deliver to Landlord Tenant’s written undertaking, with a surety and in form and substance satisfactory to Landlord, obligating Tenant to fully and promptly pay the entire cost and expense of so furnishing and installing any such additional wires, risers, conduits, feeders, panels, and/or switchboards, and (4) that such installation does not preclude expansion of electrical service for other tenants.  Tenant covenants and agrees that at all times its use of electrical current shall never exceed the capacity of the feeders to the Building or the risers or wiring installation.  It is further covenanted and agreed by Tenant that all the aforesaid costs and expenses are chargeable and collectable as additional rent and shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord within five (5) days after rendition of any bill or statement to Tenant therefor.

4.                                      Tenant shall pay Landlord for Landlord’s Standard Electrical Service an amount computed by multiplying the rate per rentable square foot as set forth in Paragraph 1 above, as

46

adjusted, times the rentable square feet of floor area of the Premises.  The resulting product shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord in advance in twelve (12) equal monthly installments as additional rent.

5.                                      The cost of electrical energy as shown in Paragraph 1 above, has been based on The Connecticut Light and Power Company’s current rates for General Service Electric Rate 30 and the applicable State of Connecticut sales taxes.  If the filed Rate 30 (or any successor classification reflecting similar service) of Connecticut Light and Power Company (or its successor) and/or the State of Connecticut sales taxes shall be increased or decreased from and after the date hereof, the parties agree that the Electric Charge shall be increased or decreased, as the case may be, by applying the new rates to the connected load and hourly use factor as set forth in Paragraph 1 above, as adjusted, such increase or decrease to go into effect on the first day of the month following such decrease or increase in such Rate 30 (or its successor) and/or the State of Connecticut sales taxes,

6.                                      The Connecticut Public Utilities Commission has granted Connecticut Light and Power Company the right to add to customers’ bills the increase in cost of fuel oil used to manufacture electricity.  Such a fuel cost adjustment will be effected by adding a monthly surcharge to the normal bills based on the monthly kilowatt-hours used.  It is expected that such an increase cost factor will change from month to month.  It is hereby agreed and understood, that the Landlord, at its options, has the right to pass on such surcharge to the Tenant by billing Tenant monthly or annually, as elected by Landlord, for such monthly increase amounts retroactively (increase factor multiplied by monthly kilowatt-hours as established elsewhere in this Exhibit E).  It is further agreed and understood that the operation of this Paragraph 6 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
