SECOND. Completion and Occupancy. The Tenant has examined and shall accept the premises in their existing condition and state of repair and understands that no work is to be performed by the Landlord in connection therewith except such work, if any, as the Landlord may be required to do by the terms hereof in the layout or finish of the premises. If the Landlord shall be required by the terms hereof to do any work in the layout or finish of the premises, the Landlord, either through its own employees or through a contractor or contractors to be engaged by it for such purpose, will proceed with due dispatch, subject to delay by causes beyond its reasonable control and to the vacating and surrendering of the premises by any present occupant thereof, to do all of such work during regular working hours and will exercise all reasonable efforts to complete all of such work not later than the specific date hereinabove designated for the commencement of the term hereof. If the Landlord is required by the terms hereof to do any such work without expense to the Tenant and the cost of such work is increased due to any delay resulting from any act or omission of the Tenant, its agents or employees, the Tenant shall pay to the Landlord an amount equal to such increase in cost. Unless otherwise specifically provided herein, if the premises shall not be available for occupancy by the Tenant on the specific date hereinabove designated for the commencement of the term hereof for any reason, including noncompletion by the Landlord of such work as it shall be required by the terms hereof to do in connection with the layout or finish of the premises, then this Lease shall not be affected thereby but, in such; case, said specific date shall be deemed to be postponed until the date when the premises shall be available 3 for occupancy by the Tenant, provided, however, that there shall be no such postponement of said specific date for any period of delay in the availability of the premises for occupancy by the Tenant which shall be due to (a) any act or omission of the Tenant, its agents or employees, including, without limitation, delays due to changes in or additions to any work to be done by the Landlord as aforesaid or delays in submission of information, approving working drawings or estimates or giving authorizations or approvals, (b) any additional time for completion of such work which may be required because of the inclusion in such work of any work which may hereinafter be defined as "Special Work", or (c) the noncompletion by the Landlord of any work, whether in connection with the layout or finish of the premises or otherwise, which the Landlord is not required to do by the terms hereof until after the term commencement date, it being understood that the Tenant shall have no claim against the Landlord, and the Landlord shall have no liability to the Tenant, by reason of any such postponement of said specific date. No part of the premises shall be deemed unavailable for occupancy by the Tenant, nor shall any work which the Landlord is obligated to perform in such part of the premises be deemed incomplete for the purpose of any adjustment of fixed rent payable hereunder, solely due to the noncompletion of details of construction, decoration or mechanical adjustments which are minor in character and the noncompletion of which does not materially interfere with the Tenant's use of such part of the premises. Pursuant to Section 223-a of the Real Property Law of the State of New York and notwithstanding any other law of like import now or hereafter in force, the parties hereto expressly provide that, if the premises are not available for occupancy by the Tenant on the term commencement date due to any cause of the nature referred to in the preceding clause (a), (b) or (c) of this paragraph, the Tenant, except with the consent of the Landlord, shall not be entitled to possession of the premises until the same are available for occupancy by the Tenant and there shall be no abatement of fixed rent by reason thereof and the Tenant shall not have any claim against the Landlord nor any right to rescind this Lease, and the Landlord shall have no liability to the Tenant, by reason thereof. The Tenant by entering into occupancy of any part of the premises shall be conclusively deemed to have agreed that the Landlord, up to the time of such occupancy, had performed all of its obligations hereunder with respect to such part and that such part, except for latent defects and except for minor details of construction, decoration and mechanical adjustment referred to above, was in satisfactory condition as of the date of such occupancy, unless within 10 days after such date the Tenant shall give notice to the Landlord specifying the respects in which the same was not in such condition. THIRD. Use of Premises. The Tenant shall not, except with the prior consent of the Landlord, use, or suffer or permit the use of, the premises or any part thereof for any purpose other than the use hereinabove specifically mentioned, provided, however, anything in this Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, that the portions, if any, of the premises which are identified as toilets or utility areas shall be used by the Tenant only for the purposes for which they are designed and the portions, if any, of the premises which are identified as storage areas shall be used only for storage purposes.

If any governmental license or permit shall be required for the proper and lawful conduct of any business or other activity carried on in the premises, and if the failure to secure such license or permit would, in any way, affect the Landlord, the Tenant shall procure and thereafter maintain such license or permit, submit the same to inspection by the Landlord, and comply with the terms and conditions thereof. The Tenant hereby covenants and agrees that, except to designate the Tenant's business address (and then only in a conventional manner and without emphasis or display), the Tenant will not use the name "Time & Life Building" or any simulation or abbreviation of such name for any purpose whatsoever. The Tenant will discontinue using such name and any simulation or abbreviation thereof for the purpose of designating the Tenant's business address, within 30 days after the Landlord or Time, Incorporated, one of the tenants in the Building, shall notify the Tenant that the Building is no longer known by such name.

The cost of repairing any damage to the premises or the Building arising from such removal shall be paid by the Tenant upon demand. If any fixture, equipment, improvement or installation which as aforesaid may or is required to be removed by the Tenant is not so removed within the time above specified therefor, then the Landlord may at its election deem that the same has been abandoned by the Tenant to the Landlord, but no such election shall relieve the Tenant of its obligation to pay the cost and expense of removing the same or the cost of repairing damage arising from such removal.

(o) procure and maintain comprehensive general liability insurance with respect to the premises protecting the interests of both the Landlord and the Tenant against any liability on account of any claim, loss, damage, injury or death suffered or sustained by any person or persons and on account of any claim, loss, damage or injury to property arising out of the use of the premises, which insurance shall be maintained in such amounts as may be reasonably specified by the Landlord to the Tenant, but in no event less than $5,000,000, in respect of bodily injury or death to any one person, not less than $5,000,000, with respect to bodily injury or death to any number of persons in respect of any one occurrence and not less than $5,000,000, in respect of any claim, loss, damage or injury to property such insurance to be carried in such company or companies and on such forms as may be reasonably approved by the Landlord and the original policies of such insurance or certificates therefor shall be delivered by the Tenant to the Landlord; it being understood that the Tenant, if it so elects, may carry such insurance under its blanket policy, in which case the Tenant shall deliver to the Landlord a certificate evidencing such insurance coverage and a duplicate receipt evidencing payment therefor. SEVENTH. Assignment, Mortgaging, Subletting, etc. Except as may be otherwise specifically provided in this Lease, the Tenant covenants and agrees, for the Tenant and its successors, assigns and legal representatives, that neither this Lease nor the term and estate hereby granted, nor any part hereof or thereof, will be assigned, mortgaged, pledged, encumbered or otherwise transferred, and that neither the premises, nor any part thereof, will be encumbered in any manner by reason of any act or omission on the part of the Tenant, or will be used or occupied, or permitted to be used or occupied, or utilized for desk space, for mailing privileges or as a concession, by anyone other than the Tenant, or will be sublet, or offered or advertised for subletting, without the prior consent of the Landlord in every such case; provided, however, that, if the Tenant is a corporation, (a) the assignment or transfer of this Lease, and the term and estate hereby granted, to any corporation into which the Tenant is merged or with which the Tenant is consolidated (such corporation being hereinafter in this Article called "the Assignee") without the prior consent of the Landlord shall not be deemed to be prohibited hereby if, and upon the express condition that, the Assignee shall have executed, acknowledged and delivered to the Landlord an agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Landlord whereby the Assignee shall agree to be personally bound by and upon all the covenants, agreements, terms, provisions and conditions set forth in this Lease on the part of the Tenant to be kept, observed or performed, and whereby the Assignee shall expressly agree that the provisions of this Article shall, notwithstanding such assignment or transfer, continue to be binding upon it with respect to all future assignments and transfers, and (b) the Tenant may, subject to the covenants, agreements, terms, provisions and conditions of this Lease, permit the premises to be used and occupied for the purposes herein specified by any subsidiary of the Tenant without the prior consent of the Landlord. The Landlord will, at the request of the Tenant, maintain listings on the Building directory of the names of the Tenant and any other person, firm or corporation in occupancy of the premises or any part thereof as permitted hereunder, and the names of any officers or employees of any of the foregoing, provided, however, that the number of names so listed shall be in the same proportion to the capacity of the Building directory as the aggregate number of square feet of rentable area of the premises is to the aggregate number of square feet of rentable area of the Building. The listing of any name other than that of the Tenant, whether on the doors or windows of the premises, on the Building directory, or otherwise, shall not operate to vest any right or interest in this Lease or in the premises or be deemed to be the consent of the Landlord mentioned in this Article, it being expressly understood that any such listing (other than a listing conforming with the next preceding sentence hereof) is a privilege extended by the Landlord revocable at will by notice to the Tenant. EIGHTH. Changes or Alterations by Landlord. The Landlord reserves the right to make such changes, alterations, additions, improvements, repairs or replacements in or to the Building (including the premises) and the fixtures and equipment thereof, as well as in or to the street entrances, halls, passages, elevators, escalators and stairways and other parts of the Building, and to erect, maintain and use pipes, ducts and conduits in and through the premises, all as it may reasonably deem necessary or desirable; provided, however, (a) that there be no unreasonable obstruction of the means of access to the premises or unreasonable 9 interference with the use of the premises, (See Rider 'E' attached to this Lease) Rider 'E' attached to and forming a part of Lease dated June 21, 1988, between ROCKEFELLER CENTER NORTH, INC., as the Landlord, and WHITE & WITKOWSKY, INC., as the Tenant. and (b) if any such change, alteration, addition, improvement, repair or replacement shall reduce the floor area of the premises, the annual fixed rent payable hereunder shall thereafter be abated to the extent that such fixed rent relates to such part of the floor area of the premises and such abatement is in excess of the annual rate of any other then existing abatement of fixed rent relating thereto under any other covenant, agreement, term, provision or condition of this Lease. Nothing contained in this paragraph or in Article Sixth hereof shall be deemed to relieve the Tenant of any duty, obligation or liability of the Tenant with respect to making any repair, replacement or improvement or complying with any law, order or requirement of any governmental or other authority. The Landlord reserves the right to change the name or address of the Building at any time. Neither this Lease nor any use by the Tenant shall give the Tenant any right or easement to the use of any door or any passage connecting the Building with any subway or any other building or to the use of any public conveniences, and the use of such doors, passages and conveniences may be regulated or discontinued at any time by the Landlord. NINTH. Damage by Fire, etc. If any part of the premises shall be damaged by fire or other casualty, the Tenant shall give prompt notice thereof to the Landlord and the Landlord shall proceed with reasonable diligence, to repair such damage, and if any part of the premises shall be rendered untenantable by reason of such damage, the annual fixed rent payable hereunder, to the extent that such fixed rent relates to such part of the premises and such abatement is in excess of the annual rate of any other existing abatement of fixed rent relating thereto under any other covenant, agreement, term, provision or condition of this Lease, shall be abated for the period from the date of such damage to the date when such part of the premises shall have been made tenantable or to such earlier date upon which the full term of this Lease with respect to such part of the premises shall expire or terminate, unless such fire or other casualty shall have resulted from the negligence of the Tenant or the employees, licensees or invitees of the Tenant (except to the extent that the Tenant is released from liability pursuant to the third paragraph of this Article). The Landlord shall not be liable for any inconvenience or annoyance to the Tenant or injury to the business of the Tenant resulting in any way from such damage or the repair thereof. The Tenant understands that the Landlord will not carry insurance of any kind on the Tenant's goods, furniture or furnishings or on any fixtures, equipment, improvements, installations or appurtenances removable by the Tenant as provided in this Lease, and that the Landlord shall not be obligated to repair any damage thereto or replace the same. If substantial alteration or reconstruction of the Building shall, in the opinion of the Landlord, be reasonably required as a result of damage by fire or other casualty (whether or not the premises shall have been damaged by such fire or other casualty), then this Lease and the term and estate hereby granted may be terminated by the Landlord by its giving to the Tenant within 60 days after the date of such damage a notice specifying a date, not less than 30 days after the giving of such notice, for such termination. (See Rider F attached to this Lease) Rider 'F' attached to and forming a part of Lease dated June 21, 1988 between ROCKEFELLER CENTER NORTH, INC., as the Landlord, and WHITE & WITKOWSKY, INC., as the Tenant. Also, if part of the premises is rendered untenantable as a result of such damage by fire or other casualty and it is reasonably determined that such part of the premises cannot be made tenantable within a period of 2 years after the occurrence of such fire or other casualty, or if in fact such part of the premises is not made tenantable within such period of 2 years, then this Lease and the term and estate hereby granted may be terminated by the Tenant by its giving to the Landlord a notice specifying a date, not less than 30 days after the giving of such notice for such termination, which notice must be given within 60 days after it is so determined that such part of the premises cannot be made tenantable within such period. Any dispute with respect to the determination that part of the premises cannot be made tenantable within such period shall be resolved by arbitration in New York City in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association, or its successors, and the judgment upon the award rendered therein may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. In the event of the giving of such notice of termination, this Lease and the term and estate hereby granted shall expire as of the date specified therefor in such notice with the same effect as if such date were the date hereinbefore specified for the expiration of the full term of this Lease, and the fixed rent payable hereunder shall be apportioned as of such date of termination, subject to abatement, if any, as and to the extent above provided. Nothing herein contained shall relieve the Tenant from any liability to the Landlord or to its insurers in connection with any damage to the premises or the Building by fire or other casualty if the Tenant shall be legally liable in such respect, except, however, that the Landlord hereby releases the Tenant with respect to any liability which the Tenant might otherwise have to the Landlord for any damage to the Building or the premises by fire or other casualty occurring during the term of this Lease to the extent of the proceeds received under a policy or policies of insurance permitting such release by the Landlord of such liability on the part of the Tenant. Whenever the Landlord elects to insure the Building against fire or other casualty in an amount determined by, and under terms and conditions acceptable to, the Landlord and with an insurer selected by the Landlord, the Landlord will cause the policy evidencing such insurance to include a provision permitting such a release of liability if such a provision is obtainable from such insurer at no additional expense to the Landlord. (See Rider 'G' attached to this Lease) Rider 'G' attached to and forming a part of Lease dated June 21, 1988, between ROCKEFELLER CENTER NORTH, INC., as the Landlord, and WHITE & WITKOWSKY, INC., as the Tenant. The Landlord represents to the Tenant that the Building is presently insured against fire and certain other casualties and that the Policy evidencing such insurance presently includes a provision Permitting such a release of liability. This Lease shall be considered an express agreement governing any case of damage to or destruction of, or any part of, the Building or the premises by fire or other casualty, and Section 227 of the Real Property 10 Law of the State of New York providing for such a contingency in the absence of express agreement, and any other law of like import. now or hereafter in force, shall have no application in such case. TENTH. Condemnation. In the event that the whole of the premises shall be lawfully condemned or taken in any manner for any public or quasi-public use, this Lease and the term and estate hereby granted shall forthwith cease and terminate as of the date of vesting of title in such condemnation or taking. In the event that only a part of the premises shall be so condemned or taken, then the term and estate hereby granted with respect to such part of the premises shall forthwith cease and terminate as of the date of vesting of title in such condemnation or taking and the annual fixed rent payable hereunder, to the extent that such fixed rent relates to such part of the premises and such abatement is in excess of the annual rate of any other existing abatement of fixed rent relating thereto under any other covenant, agreement, term, provision or condition of this Lease, shall be abated for the period from the date of such vesting of title to the date specified in this Lease for the expiration of the full term of this Lease with respect to such part of the premises. In the event that only a part of the Building shall be so condemned or taken, then (a) if substantial alteration or reconstruction of the Building shall, in the opinion of the Landlord, be necessary or desirable as a result of such condemnation or taking (whether or not the premises be affected), this Lease and the term and estate hereby granted may be terminated by the Landlord by its giving to the Tenant, within 60 days following the date on which the Landlord shall have received notice of such vesting of title, notice specifying a date, not less than 30 days after the giving by the Landlord of such notice, for such termination, and (b) if such condemnation or taking shall be of a substantial part of the premises or of a substantial part of the means of access thereto, or shall result in the premises being unsuitable for the conduct of the Tenant's business, this Lease and the term and estate hereby granted may be terminated by the Tenant by its giving to the Landlord, within 60 days following the date upon which the Tenant shall have received notice of such vesting of title, notice specifying a date, not less than 30 days after the giving by the Tenant of such notice, for such termination, or (c) if neither the Landlord nor the Tenant elects to terminate this Lease, as aforesaid, this Lease shall be and remain unaffected by such condemnation or taking, except that this Lease and the term and estate hereby granted with respect to the part of the premises so condemned or taken shall expire on the date of such vesting of title to such part and except that the fixed rent payable hereunder shall be abated to the extent, if any, hereinabove provided in this Article. In the event that only a part of the premises shall be so condemned or taken and this Lease and the term and estate hereby granted with respect to the remaining portion of the premises are not terminated as hereinbefore provided, the Landlord will proceed with reasonable diligence to restore the remaining portion of the premises as nearly as practicable to the same condition as it was in prior to such condemnation or taking. The termination of this Lease and the term and estate hereby granted in any of the cases hereinabove provided shall be with the same effect as if the date of such termination were the date hereinbefore specified for the expiration of the full term of this Lease, and the fixed rent payable hereunder shall be apportioned as of such date of termination. In the event of any condemnation or taking hereinabove mentioned of all or a part of the Building, the Landlord shall be entitled to receive the entire award in the condemnation proceeding, including any award made for the value of the estate vested by this Lease in the Tenant, and the Tenant hereby expressly assigns to the Landlord any and all right, title and interest of the Tenant now or hereafter arising in or to any such award or any part thereof, and the Tenant shall be entitled to receive no part of such award; provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall be deemed to preclude the Tenant from intervening for the Tenant's own interest in any such condemnation proceeding to claim or receive from the condemning authority any compensation to which the Tenant may otherwise lawfully be entitled in such case in respect of property owned by the Tenant and removable by it under Article Fourth hereof. The provisions of this Article shall not be applicable to any condemnation or taking for governmental occupancy for a limited period. ELEVENTH. Compliance with Laws. The Tenant shall comply with all laws and ordinances, and all rules, orders and regulations of all governmental authorities and of all insurance bodies, at any time duly issued and in force, applicable to the premises or any part thereof, to the Tenant's use thereof or to the Tenant's keeping, performance or observance of any covenant, agreement, term, provision or condition of 11 this Lease, except that the Tenant shall not be under any obligation to comply with any law, ordinance, rule, order or regulation requiring any structural alteration of or in connection with the premises solely by reason of the use thereof for any of the purposes specified in Article First hereof and not by reason of either (i) a condition which has been created by, or at the instance of, the Tenant, or (ii) a breach of any covenant, agreement, term, provision or condition hereof on the part of the Tenant to be kept, observed or performed. Where any structural alteration of or in connection with the premises is required by any such law, ordinance, rule, order or regulation, and, by reason of the express exception hereinabove contained, the Tenant is not under any obligation to make such alteration, then the Landlord shall make such alteration if the expense of making the same is not in excess of 50% of the annual rate of fixed rent then payable under this Lease or, if the expense of making such alteration is in excess thereof, the Landlord shall have the option of making such alteration, or of terminating this Lease and the term and estate hereby granted by giving to the Tenant not less than 30 days' prior notice of such termination; provided, however, that, if within 15 days after the giving by the Landlord of its notice of termination as aforesaid, the Tenant shall request the Landlord to make such alteration at the cost and expense of the Tenant, then such notice of termination shall be ineffective and, in such case, the Landlord shall proceed with reasonable diligence to make such alteration and the Tenant shall pay to the Landlord all costs and expenses incurred by the Landlord in making such alteration to the extent that such costs and expenses are in excess of 50% of the annual rate of the fixed rent then payable under this Lease and shall maintain on deposit with the Landlord such security for the payment by the Tenant of all such costs and expenses as the Landlord shall from time to time request. In the event that a notice of termination shall be given by the Landlord under the provisions of this Article and such notice shall not become ineffective as hereinabove provided, this Lease and the term and estate hereby granted shall terminate as of the date specified therefor in such notice with the same effect as if such date were the date hereinbefore specified for the expiration of the full term of this Lease, and the fixed rent payable hereunder shall be apportioned as of such date of termination. TWELFTH. Accidents to Sanitary and other Systems. The Tenant shall give to the Landlord prompt notice of any damage to or defective condition in, any part or appurtenance of the Building's sanitary, electrical, heating, air conditioning or other systems serving, located in, or passing through, the premises. Any such damage or defective condition shall be remedied by the Landlord with reasonable diligence (and all work done by the Landlord in connection therewith shall be performed in a good and workmanlike manner and in such a way so as to minimize the interference to the Tenant's use and occupancy of, and ability to conduct its business in, the premises), but if such damage or defective condition (other than any such damage with respect to which the Tenant is relieved from liability pursuant to the third paragraph of Article Ninth hereof) was caused by, or by the use by, the Tenant or by the employees, licensees or invitees of the Tenant, or is with respect to any fixture, equipment, improvement or installation removable by the Tenant as provided in Article Fourth hereof, the cost of the remedy thereof shall be paid by the Tenant upon demand. The Tenant shall not be entitled to claim any damages arising from any such damage or defective condition unless the same shall have been caused by the negligence or wilful misconduct of the Landlord in the operation or maintenance of the premises or the Building and the same shall not have been remedied by the Landlord with reasonable diligence after notice thereof from the Tenant to the Landlord; nor shall the Tenant be entitled to claim any eviction by reason of any such damage or defective condition unless the same shall have been caused by the negligence of the Landlord in the operation or maintenance of the premises or the Building and shall have rendered the premises untenantable and the premises shall not have been made tenantable by the Landlord within a reasonable time after notice thereof from the Tenant to the Landlord. THIRTEENTH. Mortgage Subordination, This Lease and the term and estate hereby granted are and shall be subject and subordinate to the lien of each mortgage which may now or at any time hereafter affect the Building and/or the Land, or the Landlord's interest therein (all such mortgages being collectively called "the underlying mortgages"), (See Rider H attached to this Lease) Rider 'H' attached to and forming a part of Lease dated June 21, 1988, between ROCKEFELLER CENTER NORTH, INC., as the Landlord, and WHITE & WITKOWSKY, INC., as the Tenant. provided, however, that such subordination of this Lease and the term and estate hereby granted to any underlying mortgage hereafter entered into by the Landlord shall be upon the condition that the mortgagee thereunder shall deliver to the Tenant an instrument in writing providing in substance that, so long as no default exists, nor any event has occurred, which has continued to exist for such period of time (after notice, if any, required by this Lease) as would entitle the Landlord to terminate this Lease or would cause, without any further action of the Landlord, the termination of this Lease or would entitle the Landlord to disposess the Tenant, this Lease shall not be terminated, nor shall the Tenant's use, possession or enjoyment of the premises be interfered with, nor shall the leasehold estate granted by this Lease be affected in any other manner, in any foreclosure or any action or proceeding instituted under or in connection with such underlying mortgage or in case such mortgagee takes possession of the Building pursuant to any provision of such underlying mortgage, unless the Landlord would have had such right if such underlying mortgage had not been made or if the Landlord had not defaulted under such underlying mortgage. The Landlord will use all reasonable efforts to obtain a similar instrument in writing from the mortgagee under the presently existing underlying mortgage. The foregoing provisions for the subordination of this Lease and the term and estate hereby granted shall be self-operative and no further instrument shall be required to effect any such subordination; but the Tenant shall, however, upon request by the Landlord, at any time or times execute and deliver any and all instruments that may be necessary or proper to effect such subordination or to confirm or evidence the same, and in the event that the Tenant shall fail to execute and deliver any such instrument the Landlord, in addition to any other remedies, may, as the agent or attorney-in-fact of the Tenant, execute and deliver the same, and the Tenant hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Landlord the Tenant's agent and attorney-in-fact for such purpose. 12 FOURTEENTH. Notices. Any notice, consent, approval, request, communication, bill, demand or statement provided for hereunder by either party to the other party shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if delivered personally to such other party or mailed in a postpaid envelope (registered, certified or otherwise, with or without return receipt) addressed to such other party, which address for the Landlord shall be as above set forth and for the Tenant shall be the Tenant's address as above set forth or if the address of such other party for notices shall have been duly changed as hereinafter provided, if so mailed to such other party at such changed address. Either party may at any time change the address for such notices, consents, approvals, requests, communications, bills, demands or statements by delivering or mailing, as aforesaid, to the other party a notice stating the change and setting forth the changed address. If the term "Tenant" as used in this Lease refers to more than one person, any notice, consent, approval, request, communication, bill, demand or statement given as aforesaid to any one of such persons shall be deemed to have been duly given to the Tenant. FIFTEENTH. Conditions of Limitation, This Lease and the term and estate hereby granted are subject to the limitation that: (a) in case the Tenant shall default in the payment of any fixed rent or additional rent on any date upon which the same becomes due, and any such default shall continue for 10 days after the Landlord shall have given to the Tenant a notice specifying such default, (b) in case the Tenant shall default in the due keeping, observance or performance of any covenant, agreement, term, provision or condition of Article Third or of subparagraph (e) or (f) of Article Sixth hereof on the part of the Tenant to be kept, observed or performed and if such default shall continue and shall not be remedied by the Tenant within 3 business days (except that, with respect to any such default under subparagraph (g) of Article Sixth hereof, said period shall be 24 hours) after the Landlord shall have given to the Tenant a notice specifying the same, (c) in case the Tenant shall default in the due keeping, observance or performance of any covenant, agreement, term, provision or condition of this Lease (other than a default of the character referred to in subparagraph (a) or (b), of this Article), and if such default shall continue and shall not be remedied by the Tenant within 30 days after the Landlord shall have given to the Tenant a notice specifying the same, or, in the case of such a default which for causes beyond the Tenant's control cannot with due diligence be cured within said period of 30 days, if the Tenant (i) shall not, promptly upon the giving of such notice, give the Landlord notice of the Tenant's intention to duly institute all steps necessary to remedy such default, (ii) shall not duly institute and thereafter diligently prosecute to completion all steps necessary to remedy the same, or (iii) shall not remedy the same within a reasonable time after the date of the giving of said notice by the Landlord, or (d) in case any event shall occur or any contingency shall arise whereby this Lease or the estate hereby granted or the unexpired balance of the full term hereof would, by operation of law or otherwise, devolve upon or pass to any person, firm or corporation other than the Tenant except as permitted under Article Seventh, Article Twenty-seventh or Article Thirty-second hereof, or whenever the Tenant shall desert or abandon the premises or the same shall become vacant (whether the keys be surrendered or not and whether the rent be paid or not), then in any of said cases the Landlord may give to the Tenant a notice of intention to end the term of this Lease at the expiration of 3 days from the date of the giving of such notice, and, in the event such notice is given, this Lease and the term and estate hereby granted (whether or not the term shall theretofore have commenced) shall terminate upon the expiration, of said 3 days with the same effect as if the last of said 3 13 days were the date hereinbefore set for the expiration of the full term of this Lease, but the Tenant shall remain liable for damages as provided in this Lease or pursuant to law. If this Lease shall have been assigned, the term "Tenant", as used in subparagraphs (a) to (e), inclusive, of this Article, shall be deemed to include the assignee and the assignor or either of them under any such assignment unless the Landlord shall, in connection with such assignment, release the assignor from any further liability under this Lease, in which event the term "Tenant", as used in said subparagraphs, shall not include the assignor so released. SIXTEENTH. Re-entry by Landlord. If this Lease shall terminate as in Article Fifteenth hereof provided, or if the Tenant shall default in the payment of any fixed rent, additional rent or percentage rent (if any) on any date upon which the same becomes due, and if such default shall continue for 10 days after the Landlord shall have given to the Tenant a notice specifying such default, the Landlord or the Landlord's agents and servants may immediately or at any time thereafter re-enter into or upon the premises or any part thereof in the name of the whole, either by summary dispossess proceedings or by any suitable action or proceeding at law or by force or otherwise, without being liable to indictment, prosecution or damages therefor, and may repossess the same, and may remove any persons therefrom, to the end that the Landlord may have, hold and enjoy the premises again as and of its first estate and interest therein. The words "re-enter", "re-entry", and "re-entering" as used in this Lease are not restricted to their technical legal meanings. In the event of any termination of this Lease under the provisions of Article Fifteenth hereof or in the event of the termination of this Lease by or under any summary dispossess or other proceeding or action or other measure undertaken by the Landlord for the enforcement of its aforesaid right of re-entry (any such termination of this Lease being herein called a "Default Termination"), the Tenant shall thereupon pay to the Landlord the fixed rent, additional rent and percentage rent (if any) up to the time of such Default Termination and shall likewise pay to the Landlord all such damages which, by reason of such Default Termination, shall be payable by the Tenant as provided in this Lease or pursuant to law. Also in the event of a Default Termination the Landlord shall be entitled to retain all moneys, if any, paid by the Tenant to the Landlord, whether as advance rent or as security for rent, but such moneys shall be credited by the Landlord against any fixed rent, additional rent or percentage rent (if any) due from the Tenant at the time of such Default Termination or, at the Landlord's option, against any damages payable by the Tenant as provided in this Lease or pursuant to law. In the event of a breach or threatened breach on the part of the Tenant with respect to any of the covenants, agreements, terms, provisions or conditions on the part of or on behalf of the Tenant to be kept, observed or performed, the Landlord shall also have the right of injunction. The specified remedies to which the Landlord may resort hereunder are cumulative and are not intended to be exclusive of any other remedies or means of redress to which the Landlord may lawfully be entitled at any time, and the Landlord may invoke any remedy allowed at law or in equity as if specific remedies were not herein provided for. SEVENTEENTH. Damages. In the event of a Default Termination of this Lease, the Tenant will pay to the Landlord as damages, at the election of the Landlord, either: (a) a sum which, at the time of such Default Termination, represents the then value of the excess, if any, of (1) the aggregate of the fixed rent, the additional rent under Article Twenty-fourth hereof (if any) and the percentage rent (if any) which, had this Lease not so terminated, would have been payable hereunder by the Tenant for the period commencing with the day following the date of such Default Termination and ending with the date hereinbefore set for the expiration of the full term hereby granted, over (2) the aggregate rental value of the premises for the same period, or (b) sums equal to the aggregate of the fixed rent, the additional rent under Article Twenty-fourth hereof (if any) and the percentage rent (if any) which would have been payable by the Tenant had this Lease not terminated by such Default Termination, payable upon the due dates therefor specified herein following such Default Termination and until the date hereinbefore set for the expiration of the full term hereby granted; provided, however, that if the Landlord shall relet all or any part of the premises for all or any part of the period commencing on the day following the date of such Default Termination 14 and ending on the date hereinbefore set for the expiration of the full term hereby granted, the Landlord shall credit the Tenant with the net rents received by the Landlord from such reletting, such net rents to be determined by first deducting from the gross rents as and when received by the Landlord from such reletting the reasonable expenses incurred or paid by the Landlord in terminating this Lease and of re-entering the premises and of securing possession thereof, as well as the reasonable expenses of reletting, including altering and preparing the premises for new tenants, brokers' commissions, and all other expenses properly chargeable against the premises and the rental therefrom in connection with such reletting, it being understood that any such reletting may be for a period equal to or shorter or longer than said period; provided, further, that (i) in no event shall the Tenant be entitled to receive any excess of such net rents over the sums payable by the Tenant to the Landlord hereunder, (ii) in no event shall the Tenant be entitled, in any suit for the collection of damages pursuant to this subparagraph (b), to a credit in respect of any net rents from a reletting except to the extent that such net rents are actually received by the Landlord prior to the commencement of such suit, and (iii) if the premises or any part thereof should be relet in combination with other space, then proper apportionment on a square foot rentable area basis shall be made of the rent received from such reletting and of the expenses of reletting. For the purposes of this Article, the amount of the percentage rent (if any) which would have been payable for the period following a Default Termination of this Lease shall be deemed to be an amount, for each calendar month in said period, equal to the monthly average amount of percentage rent (if any) which became payable under this Lease during the term hereof prior to such Default Termination. For the purposes of subparagraph (a) of this Article, the amount of additional rent which would have been payable by the Tenant under Article Twenty-fourth hereof shall, for each Computation Year (as hereinafter defined) ending after such Default Termination, be deemed to be an amount equal to the amount of such additional rent payable by the Tenant for the Computation Year immediately preceding the Computation Year in which such Default Termination occurs. Suit or suits for the recovery of any damages payable hereunder by the Tenant, or and installments thereof, may be brought by the Landlord from time to time at its election, and nothing contained herein shall be deemed to require the Landlord to postpone suit until the date when the term of this Lease would have expired but for such Default Termination. Nothing herein contained shall be construed as limiting or precluding the recovery by the Landlord against the Tenant of any sums or damages to which, in addition to the damages particularly provided above, the Landlord may lawfully be entitled by reason of any default hereunder on the part of the Tenant. EIGHTEENTH. Waivers by Tenant. The Tenant, for the Tenant, and on behalf of any and all persons, firms and corporations claiming through or under the Tenant, including creditors of all kinds, does hereby waive and surrender all right and privilege which they or any of them might have under or by reason of any present or future law to redeem the premises or to have a continuance of this Lease for the full term hereby demised after the Tenant is dispossessed or ejected therefrom by process of law or under the terms of this Lease or after the expiration or termination of this Lease as herein provided or pursuant to law. The Tenant also waives (a) the right of the Tenant to trial by jury in any summary dispossess or other proceeding that may hereafter be instituted by the Landlord against the Tenant in respect of the premises or in any action that may be brought to recover rent, damages or other sums payable hereunder, and (b) the provisions of any law relating to notice and/or delay in levy of execution in case of an eviction or dispossess of a tenant for nonpayment of rent, and of any other law of like import now or hereafter in effect. If the Landlord commences any such summary dispossess proceeding, the Tenant will not interpose any counterclaim of whatever nature or description in such proceeding. NINETEENTH. Tenant's Removal. Any personal property which shall remain in any part of the premises after the expiration or termination of the term of this Lease with respect to such part shall be deemed to have been abandoned, and either may be retained by the Landlord as its property or may be disposed of in such manner as the Landlord may see fit; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Tenant will, upon request of the Landlord made not later than 30 days after expiration or termination of the term hereof with respect to such part of the premises, promptly remove from the Building any such personal property. 15 If at any time during the last month or the term of this Lease with respect to any part of the premises, such part of the premises shall no longer be occupied by the Tenant in the conduct of its business, the Landlord may. and the Tenant hereby irrevocably grants to the Landlord a license to, enter such part of the premises and make such alterations in and redecorate such part of the premises as the Landlord shall determine in its sole discretion and the Tenant shall not be entitled to any abatement of fixed rent or other compensation on account thereof. TWENTIETH. Elevators, Cleaning, Services, etc. The Landlord will (i) supply passenger elevator service during Business Hours to each floor, above the street floor of the Building, which is served by the Building's passenger elevators and on which the premises are, or any portion thereof is, located, with one of said elevators being subject to call for such service during hours other than Business Hours, (ii) supply an elevator for the transmission of freight to said floor or floors during Business Hours, (iii) subject to any applicable policies or regulations adopted by any utility or governmental authority, supply during Business Hours in the cold season heat for the warming of the premises and the public portions of the Building, (iv) subject to any applicable policies or regulations adopted by any utility or governmental authority, supply during Business Hours air conditioning (including cooling during the period from May 1 to September 30 as, in the Landlord's judgment. may be necessary) and ventilation to all portions of the premises, if any, which are served by the Building's air conditioning and ventilation systems, and (v) clean any portion of the premises which is located on a floor above the Street floor of the Building except any such portion used for preparing, dispensing or consumption of food or beverages or as an exhibition area or classroom or for storage, shipping room, mail room or similar purposes or which is a toilet (other than a toilet shown on any diagram attached hereto as Exhibit A) or a shop or is used for the operation of computer, data processing, reproduction, duplicating or similar equipment. The Tenant will at all times comply with all regulations and requirements which the Landlord may reasonably prescribe for the proper functioning and protection of said air conditioning system. No representation is made by the Landlord with respect to the adequacy or fitness of such air conditioning or ventilation to maintain temperatures as may be required for, or because of, the operation of any computer, data processing or other equipment of the Tenant and where air conditioning or ventilation is required for any such purpose the Landlord assumes no responsibility, and shall have no liability, for any loss or damage however sustained, in connection therewith. The Landlord will, when and to the extent reasonably requested by the Tenant, furnish additional elevator, heating, air conditioning, ventilating and/or cleaning services upon such reasonable terms and conditions as shall be determined by the Landlord, including the payment by the Tenant to the Landlord of the Landlord's reasonable charge therefor, which charge for additional heating, air conditioning and ventilation services furnished to the premises outside of Business Hours at the request of the Tenant, such request to be given not less than 48 hours in advance, is as of the date of this Lease the rates of (i) for air conditioning during the cooling season: $68.54 per hour for System A, $50.00 per hour for System B, and $118.54 for both System A and B (as such systems are defined in Article Twenty-ninth hereof), and (ii) for heating during the cold season, $50.00 per hour for System A, $25.00 per hour for System B, and $75.00 per hour for both System A and B, all such rates being subject to change at any time at the reasonable discretion of the Landlord. The Tenant will also pay to the Landlord the Landlord's reasonable charge for (a) any additional cleaning of the premises required because of the carelessness or indifference of the Tenant or because of the nature of the Tenant's business, and (b) the removal of any of the Tenant's refuse and rubbish from the premises and the Building, except wastepaper and similar discarded material placed by the Tenant in wastepaper baskets and left for emptying as an incident to the Landlord's normal cleaning of the premises. If the cost to the Landlord for cleaning the premises shall be increased due to the use of any part of the premises during hours other than Business Hours or due to there being installed in the premises, at the request of or by the Tenant, any materials or finish other than those which are of the standard adopted by the Landlord for the Building, the Tenant shall pay to the Landlord an amount equal to such increase in cost. At any time or times all or any of the elevators in the Building may, at the option of the Landlord, be manual or automatic elevators, and the Landlord shall be under no obligation to furnish an elevator operator or starter for any automatic elevator, but if the Landlord shall at any time or times furnish any elevator 16 operator or starter for any automatic elevator, the Landlord may discontinue furnishing such elevator operator or starter. The Landlord reserves the right, without liability to the Tenant and without constituting any claim of constructive eviction, to stop any heating, elevator, escalator, lighting, ventilating, air conditioning, power, water, cleaning or other service and to interrupt the use of any Building facilities, at such times as may be necessary and for as long as may reasonably be required by reason of accidents, strikes, the making of repairs, alterations or improvements, inability to secure a proper supply of fuel, steam, water, electricity, labor or supplies, or by reason of any other cause beyond the reasonable control of the Landlord; provided, however, that any such stoppage or interruption for the purpose of making any alteration or improvement shall be made at such times and in such manner as shall not unreasonably interfere with the Tenant's use of the premises. TWENTY-FIRST. Lease Contains All Agreements--No Waivers. This Lease contains all of the covenants, agreements, terms, provisions, conditions and understandings relating to the leasing of the premises hereunder and the Landlord's obligations in connection therewith and neither the Landlord nor any agent or representative of the Landlord has made or is making, and the Tenant in executing and delivering this Lease is not relying upon, and warranties, representations, promises or statements whatsoever, except to the extent expressly set forth in this Lease. All understandings and agreements, if any, heretofore had between the parties are merged in this Lease, which alone fully and completely expresses the agreement of the parties. The failure of the Landlord to insist in any instance upon the strict keeping, observance or performance of any covenant, agreement, term, provision or condition of this Lease or to exercise any election herein contained shall not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment for the future of such covenant, agreement, term, provision, condition or election, but the same shall continue and remain in full force and effect. No waiver or modification by the Landlord of any covenant, agreement, term, provision or condition of this Lease shall be deemed to have been made unless expressed in writing and signed by the Landlord. No surrender of possession of the premises or of any part thereof or of any remainder of the term of this Lease shall release the Tenant from any of its obligations hereunder unless accepted by the Landlord in writing. The receipt and retention by the Landlord of fixed rent, percentage rent (if any) or additional rent from anyone other than the Tenant shall not be deemed a waiver of the breach by the Tenant of any covenant, agreement, term, provision or condition herein contained, or the acceptance of such other person as a tenant, or a release of the Tenant from the further keeping, observance or performance by the Tenant of the covenants, agreements, terms, provisions and conditions herein contained. The receipt and retention by the Landlord of fixed rent, percentage rent (if any) or additional rent with knowledge of the breach of any covenant, agreement, term, provision or condition herein contained shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach. TWENTY-SECOND. Parties Bound. The covenants, agreements, terms, provisions and conditions of this Lease shall bind and benefit the respective successors, assigns and legal representatives of the parties hereto with the same effect as if mentioned in each instance where a party hereto is named or referred to, except that no violation of the provisions of Article Seventh hereof shall operate to vest any rights in any successor, assignee or legal representative of the Tenant and that the provisions of this Article shall not be construed as modifying the conditions of limitation contained in Article Fifteenth hereof. The covenants and obligations on the part of the Landlord under this Lease shall not, however, be binding upon the Landlord herein named (or any transferee of its interest in the Building) with respect to the period subsequent to the transfer of its interest in the Building (a lease of the entire interest being deemed such a transfer), such covenants and obligations being binding upon the Landlord with respect to the period prior to any transfer of its interest in the Building; and in any such event said covenants and obligations shall thereafter be binding upon the transferee of such interest in the Building until the next such transfer of such interest. TWENTY-THIRD. Curing Tenant's Defaults--Additional Rents. If the Tenant shall default (beyond any applicable grace period) in the keeping, observance or performance of any covenant, agreement, term, provision or condition herein contained, the Landlord, without thereby waiving such default, may perform the same for the account and at the expense of the Tenant (a) immediately or at any time thereafter and without notice in the case of emergency or in case such default unreasonably interferes with the use by any other tenant of any space in 17 the Building demised to such other tenant or with the efficient operation of the Building or will result in a violation of law or in a cancellation of an insurance policy maintained by the Landlord, and (b) in any other case if such default continues after 15 days from the date of the giving by the Landlord to the Tenant of notice of the Landlord's intention so to perform the same. All reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Landlord in connection with any such performance by it for the account of the Tenant and also all costs and expenses, including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements incurred by the Landlord in any action or proceeding (including any summary dispossess proceeding) brought by the Landlord to enforce any obligation of the Tenant under this Lease and/or right of the Landlord in or to the premises, shall be paid by the Tenant to the Landlord upon demand. Except as aforesaid or as elsewhere provided in this Lease, all costs and expenses which, pursuant to this Lease (including the rules and regulations referred to herein) are incurred by the Landlord and payable to it by the Tenant and all charges, amounts and sums payable to the Landlord by the Tenant for any property, material, labor, utility or other services which, pursuant to this Lease or at the request and for the account of the Tenant, are provided, furnished or rendered by the Landlord shall become due and payable by the Tenant to the Landlord in accordance with the terms of bills therefor to be rendered by the Landlord to the Tenant. If any cost, expense, charge, amount or sum referred to in this Article or elsewhere in this Lease is not paid when due and payable as provided in this Lease, the same shall become due and payable by the Tenant as additional rent hereunder. If any fixed rent, additional rent, percentage rent (if any) or damages payable hereunder by the Tenant to the Landlord is not paid when due (after the expiration of any applicable grace period) as in this Lease provided, the same shall bear interest at the rate of 2% per month (but in no event at a rate in excess of that permitted by law) from the due date thereof until paid and the amount of such interest shall be deemed additional rent hereunder. In the event of nonpayment by the Tenant of any such additional rent and/or any other additional rent and/or percentage rent (if any) becoming due hereunder, the Landlord, in addition to any other right or remedy, shall have the same rights and remedies as in the case of default by the Tenant in the payment of the fixed rent. In the event that the Tenant is in arrears in the payment of fixed rent, percentage rent (if any) or additional rent, the Tenant waives the Tenant's right, if any, to designate the items against which any payments made by the Tenant are to be credited, and the Landlord may apply any payments made by the Tenant to any items the Landlord sees fit, irrespective of and notwithstanding any designation or request by the Tenant as to the items against which any such payments shall be credited, provided, however, that, in each instance the Landlord shall apply any such payment to the oldest open item in the Tenant's account. The Landlord reserves the right, without liability to the Tenant and without constituting any claim of constructive eviction, to suspend furnishing or rendering to the Tenant any property, material, labor, utility or other service, wherever the Landlord is obligated to furnish or render the same at the expense of the Tenant, in the event that (but only so long as) the Tenant is in arrears in paying the Landlord therefor at the expiration of 10 days after the Landlord shall have given to the Tenant notice demanding the payment of such arrears. TWENTY-FOURTH. Adjustments for Changes in Landlord's Costs and Expenses. If the sum of the Square Foot Share of the Real Estate Taxes for any Computation Year plus 107% of the Square Foot Share of the Cost of Operation and Maintenance for such Computation Year shall be greater (resulting in an excess) or shall be less (resulting in a deficiency) than the sum of the Building Square Foot Share of the Real Estate Taxes plus 107% of the Square Foot Share of the Cost of Operation and Maintenance, each for the Computation Year ending on December 31, 1989, then promptly after the Landlord shall furnish the Tenant with an Escalation Statement relating to such Computation Year the Tenant shall, in case of such an excess, pay to the Landlord, as additional rent for the premises for such Computation Year, an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying such excess by the Tenant's Area or the Landlord shall, in the case of such a deficiency, pay to the Tenant an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying such deficiency by the Tenant's Area. In order to provide for current payments on account of the additional rent which may be payable to the Landlord pursuant to the first paragraph of this Article for any Computation Year, the Tenant agrees to make such payments on account of said additional rent for and during such Computation Year in 12 monthly installments, each in an amount equal to 1/12th of the amount which would have been payable by the Tenant to the Landlord pursuant to said first paragraph for the period of 12 calendar months immediately preceding such Computation Year if said 12-month period had been a Computation Year falling entirely within the term of this Lease and if there had been no abatement of fixed rent hereunder during such 12-month period (other than an abatement, if any, pursuant to Article Tenth hereof) except actually payable for such month and the Cost of Operation and Maintenance for such Computation Year as reasonably estimated by the Landlord, the installment for each calendar month to be due and payable upon the receipt from the Landlord of a bill for the same. If, as finally determined, the amount of additional rent payable by the Tenant to the Landlord pursuant to the first paragraph of this Article for such Computation Year shall be greater than (resulting in an underpayment) or be less than (resulting in an overpayment) the aggregate of all the installments so paid on account to the Landlord by the Tenant for such Computation Year, then, promptly after the receipt of the Escalation Statement for such Computation Year and, in performance of its obligations under the first paragraph of this Article, the Tenant shall, in case of such an underpayment, pay to the Landlord an amount equal to such underpayment or the Landlord shall, in case of such an overpayment, pay to the Tenant an amount equal to such overpayment. As used in this Article: (a) "Computation Year" shall mean each calendar year in which occurs any part of the term of this Lease and, in the case of a Default Termination of this Lease, in which would have occurred any part of the full term of this Lease except for such Default Termination. (b) "Tenant's Area" shall mean the number of square feet in the rentable area of the premises; it being assumed for the purposes of this Article that the rentable area of shop 'S' on the Street Floor is 8,001 square feet, and the rentable area of shop 'G-1' on the Street Floor is 3,755 square feet. (c) "Square Foot Share" shall mean a fraction whose numerator is one and whose denominator is the number of square feet in the rentable area of the Building. (d) "Real Estate Taxes" shall mean the taxes and assessments imposed upon the Building and the Land (other than any interest or penalties imposed in connection therewith) and all expenses, including fees of counsel and experts, reasonably incurred by, or reimbursable by, the Landlord in connection with any application for a reduction in the assessed valuation for the Building and/or the Land or for a judicial review thereof. If due to a future change in the method of taxation any franchise, income, profit or other tax shall be levied against the Landlord in substitution in whole or in part for or in lieu of any tax which would otherwise constitute a Real Estate Tax, such franchise, income, profit or other tax shall be deemed to be a Real Estate Tax for the purposes hereof. (e) "Cost of Operation and Maintenance" shall mean the actual cost incurred by the Landlord with respect to the operation, maintenance and repair of the Building, (as determined for shops in the Building) and the curbs and sidewalks adjoining the same, including, without limitation, the cost incurred for air conditioning; mechanical ventilation; heating; interior and exterior cleaning; rubbish removal; window washing (interior and exterior, including inside partitions); elevators; escalators; hand tools and other moveable equipment; porter and matron service; electric current, steam, water and other utilities; protection and security service; repairs; maintenance; fire, extended coverage, boiler, sprinkler, apparatus, public liability and property damage insurance; supplies; wages, salaries, disability benefits, pensions, hospitalization, retirement plans and group insurance respecting service and maintenance employees; uniforms and working clothes for such employees and the cleaning thereof; expenses imposed pursuant to any collective bargaining agreement with respect to such employees; payroll, social security, unemployment and other similar taxes with respect to such employees; sales, use and other similar taxes; water rates; sewer rents; charges of any independent contractor who does any work with respect to the operation, maintenance and repair of the Building and the curbs and sidewalks adjoining the same; and the annual depreciation or amortization over the useful life thereof of costs, including financing costs incurred for any equipment, device or other capital improvement made or acquired which is either intended as a laborsaving measure or to effect other economies in the operation, maintenance or repair of the Building and said curbs and sidewalks (provided that the annual benefits anticipated to be realized therefrom are reasonably related to the annual amount to be amortized) or which is required by any change in laws, ordinances, rules, orders or regulations of governmental authorities or insurance bodies, provided, however, that the term "Cost of Operation and Maintenance" shall not include (1) Real Estate Taxes, special assessments, franchise taxes or taxes imposed upon or measured by the income or profits of the Landlord, (2) except for depreciation and amortization hereinabove provided for in this subparagraph, 19 and the depreciation and amortization of the cost of any hand tools or other moveable equipment the cost of any item which is, or should in accordance with sound accounting practice be, capitalized on the books of the Landlord, (3) the cost of any electricity furnished to the premises or any other space in the Building demised to other tenants, (4) the cost of any work or service performed for any tenant of space in the Building (including the Tenant) at such Tenant's cost and expense or furnished to any other tenant of space in the Building at the Landlord's cost and expense to the extent that such work or service is in excess of any work or service which the Landlord is obligated to furnish hereunder to the Tenant at the Landlord's cost and expense (See Rider 'I' attached to this Lease), If during any period for which the Cost of Operation and Maintenance is being computed the Landlord is not for all or any part of such period furnishing any particular work or service (the cost of which if performed by the Landlord would constitute a Cost of Operation and Maintenance) to a portion of the Building due to the fact that such portion is not leased to a tenant or that the Landlord is not obligated to perform such work or service in such portion, then the amount of the Cost of Operation and Maintenance for such period shall be deemed, for the purposes of this Article, to be increased by an amount equal to the additional Cost of Operation and Maintenance which would reasonably have been incurred during such period by the Landlord if it had at its own expense furnished such work or service to such portion. (f) "Escalation Statement" shall mean a statement setting forth in reasonable detail the amount payable by the Tenant or the Landlord, as the case may be, for a specified Computation Year pursuant to this Article. In the event that the term commencement date shall be a day other than a January 1 or the date fixed for the expiration of the full term hereof shall be a day other than a December 31, or of any abatement of the fixed rent payable hereunder pursuant to any provision of this Lease (other than the abatement referred to in the fourth paragraph of Article First hereof) or any termination of this Lease (other than a Default Termination) or of any increase or decrease in the Tenant's Area, then in each such event in applying the provisions of this Article with respect to any Computation Year in which such event occurred, appropriate adjustments shall be made to reflect the result of such event on a basis consistent with the principles underlying the provisions of this Article, taking into consideration (i) the portion of such Computation Year which shall have elapsed prior to or after such event, (ii) the rentable area of the premises affected thereby, and (iii) the duration of such event. (See Rider 'J' attached to this Lease) In case the Real Estate Taxes for any Computation Year or part thereof shall be reduced after a payment shall have been made in respect of such Computation Year pursuant to the first paragraph of this Article, the Landlord shall refund to the Tenant an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying the Tenant's Area by the Square Foot Share of the net refund of such Real Estate Taxes received by the Landlord. The Tenant shall not institute or maintain any action, proceeding or application in any court or other body having the power to fix or review assessed valuations, for the purpose of reducing the Real Estate Taxes.

By Lease dated June 21, 1988, as the same heretofore may have been amended (herein called "the Original Lease"), certain premises, as therein described, in the building known as 111 West 50th Street (herein called "the Building") in the Borough of Manhattan, New York, N.Y., are now leased and demised by the Landlord to the Tenant. The parties hereto mutually desire to amend the Original Lease as herein set forth, and are executing and delivering this Supplemental Indenture for such purpose. (The Original Lease as amended by this Supplemental Indenture is herein called "the Lease".) Now, therefore, this Supplemental Indenture Witnesseth, that the parties hereto, in consideration of the covenants, agreements, terms, provisions and conditions herein contained, hereby amend the Original Lease in the following respects, and only in the following respects: (1) The fixed rent payable under the Lease during the period commencing on January 1, 1991 and ending on September 30, 1991 is hereby deferred until January 1, 1994 (such amount to be hereinafter called "the Deferred Rent"). The Landlord and the Tenant hereby agree that the deferral of the Deferred Rent shall not be construed as an "abatement of the fixed rent" within the meaning of the fourth paragraph of Article Twenty-fourth of the Lease, nor will such deferral imply a deferral or abatement of any additional rent or other charge due and payable under the Lease. All Deferred Rent shall accrue Interest (as hereinafter defined) - 2 - from the date of deferral until the date of repayment. The Tenant shall pay to the Landlord, in arrears on the first day of each month, accrued but unpaid Interest. Effective on and after January 1, 1994, the Tenant shall pay to the Landlord monthly, in addition to the rent and all other charges due and payable under the Lease, one-thirty-sixth (1/36) of the Deferred Rent, the outstanding balance of which will continue to accrue Interest payable as set forth in the preceding paragraph. All payments applied against amounts due under this Article shall be applied first to accrued but unpaid Interest and then to reduction of the Deferred Rent. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article to the contrary, the Tenant may repay the entire outstanding principal balance of the Deferred Rent with accrued but unpaid Interest thereon at any time. "Interest" shall mean interest equal to 2% per annum above the prime commercial rate of the Chase Manhattan Bank (N.A.) or any successor thereto, in effect from time to time, but not in excess of 12% per annum. The Interest shall be deemed additional rent under the Lease. (2) If, at any time during the period commencing on January 1, 1991 and ending on December 31, 1993, Alan Stillman personally advances to the Tenant the sum of $500,000.00 which money is used by the Tenant for working capital for the restaurant operated in the premises, and if the Tenant delivers to the Landlord evidence, satisfactory to the Landlord, of such advance and use of funds, then in such event, upon the first day of the second month following delivery of such evidence, but in no event prior to January 1, 1992 (hereinafter called "the Phase II Deferral Commencement Date") and for nine months thereafter, the Landlord will grant to the Tenant a second deferral of the fixed rent (but not any Deferred Rent) payable under the Lease, such deferral being herein called "the Phase II Deferral" and the rent deferred during - 3 - such period being herein called "the Phase II Deferred Rent"). All Phase II Deferred Rent shall accrue Interest from the date of deferral until the date of repayment. The Phase II Deferred Rent shall be deferred until that date which is three years from the Phase II Deferral Commencement Date (such date being hereinafter called "the Phase II Deferral Repayment Commencement Date"). The Tenant shall pay to the Landlord, in arrears on the first day of each month, Interest on the Phase II Deferred Rent that is accrued but unpaid. Effective on and after the Phase II Deferral Repayment Commencement Date, the Tenant shall pay to the Landlord monthly, in addition to the rent and all other charges due and payable under the Lease, one-thirty-sixth (1/36) of the Phase II Deferred Rent, the outstanding balance of which will continue to accrue Interest payable as set forth in the preceding paragraph. All payments applied against amounts due under this Article shall be applied first to accrued but unpaid Interest and then to reduction of the Phase II Deferred Rent. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article to the contrary, the Tenant may repay the entire outstanding principal balance of the Phase II Deferral with accrued but unpaid Interest thereon at any time. (3) The Tenant shall submit to the Landlord within 45 days after each calendar year during the remainder of the term of the Lease the annual audited financial statements of the Tenant for such calendar year prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, the first submission to be for calendar year 1990. (4) The Original Lease, as hereby amended, shall remain in full force and effect according to its covenants, agreements, terms, provisions and conditions. - 4 - IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have duly executed this Supplemental Indenture as of the day and year first above written.

(The Original Lease as amended by this Supplemental Indenture is herein called "the Lease".) NOW, THEREFORE, THIS SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE WITNESSETH, that the parties hereto, in consideration of the covenants, agreements, terms, provisions and conditions herein contained, hereby amend the Original Lease in the following respects, and only in the following respects: (1) The fixed rent payable under the fourth paragraph of Article First of the Original Lease is amended as follows: Portion of Lease Term Fixed Rent - --------------------- ---------- January 1, 1992 to and including December 31, 2000 $200,000.00 per annum January 1, 2001 to and including September 30, 2009 as provided in the Original Lease.

Percentage Rent. The percentage rent reserved under this Lease for each Percentage Rent Year shall be the amount, if any, which is the product of the Income Percentage times the Gross Income for such Percentage Rent Year, as provided in the third paragraph of this Article below, and payments on account of such percentage rent for each Percentage Rent Year shall be made in monthly installments, the installment for each calendar month in which occurs any part of the term hereof to be payable within 5 days after the end such month, provided, however, that, if the aggregate of the monthly installments of percentage rent paid by the Tenant with respect to any Percentage Rent Year shall exceed the percentage rent finally determined to be payable for such Percentage Rent Year, the Landlord will promptly refund such excess to the Tenant. Within 5 days after the close of each such month, the Tenant shall furnish to the Landlord a statement, verified by such person selected by the Tenant and who shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Landlord, showing the amount of the Gross Income for such month and for the portion of the Percentage Rent Year ending on the last day of such month. Nothing in this Article nor the receipt of any such percentage rent by the Landlord shall be deemed to constitute the Landlord a partner of, or joint venturer with, the Tenant. The term "Percentage Rent Year", as used in this Lease, shall be deemed to mean each 12-month period commencing with January 1 and ending with the following December 31 in which occurs any part of the term this Lease and, in the case of a Default Termination of this Lease, in which would have occurred any part of the full term of this Lease except for such Default Termination.

The Tenant shall use its best efforts at all times to make the business operated or conducted at, through and from the premises as productive of Gross Income as possible consistent with sound business judgment. If the Tenant, either directly or indirectly, operates or conducts, or is interested in, a similar business at another location or locations in The City of New York, it shall not resort to any devices which would prefer said business at such other location or locations over its business at, through or from the premises or which would adversely affect Gross Income. The Tenant shall cause each and every amount included within Gross Income to be recorded on a cash register, sales ticket book, meal check, beverage check, admission ticket and/or such other device or record (which shall be located on the premises) customarily used in a business similar to that being conducted at, through and from the premises, and which shall be satisfactory to and approved by the Landlord. The Tenant shall cause to be installed and maintained at all times in the premises proper books and records in keeping with sound accounting practice and satisfactory to the Landlord, showing accurately the amount of Gross Income and such books and records relating to any Percentage Rent Year shall not be destroyed or disposed of within 36 months after the end of such Percentage Rent Year except with the prior approval of the Landlord. The Landlord, by an accountant or otherwise, shall have the right at any time and from time to time to examine all such books and records, as well as all such cash registers, sales ticket books, meal checks, beverage checks, admission tickets and/or other device or records. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article, the Tenant shall not subject all or any part of the premises or authorize or permit the use thereof by or for any concession except in accordance with Article Seventh hereof. (5) Article Twenty-seventh of the Original Lease is hereby amended by the substitution of a semi-colon in place of the period at the end of subparagraph (e), and by adding the following thereafter: (f) in the event of the assignment of this Lease, and only in such event, the Tenant shall, on or before the effective date of such assignment, pay to the Landlord the outstanding principal balance and interest of the Deferred Rent (as such term is defined in Article (1) of Supplemental Indenture dated as of January 1, 1991 constituting a part of the Original Lease.) Should no such assignment take place during the term of the Lease, the Tenant shall have no further obligation to repay any of the principal or interest of the Deferred Rent. (6) The Original Lease, as hereby amended, shall remain in full force and effect according to its covenants, agreements, terms, provisions and conditions.
