The three appraisers shall determine the Extension Term Fixed Rent in accordance with the requirements and criteria set forth in Section 15(iii)

above, employing the method commonly known as Baseball Arbitration, whereby Landlord’s Appraiser and Tenant’s Appraiser each sets forth its determination of the Extension Term Fixed Rent as defined above, and the Third Appraiser must select one or the other (it being understood that the Third Appraiser shall be expressly prohibited from selecting a compromise figure). Landlord’s Appraiser and Tenant’s Appraiser shall deliver their determinations of the Extension Term Fixed Rent to the Third Appraiser within ten (10) business days of the appointment of the Third Appraiser and the Third Appraiser shall render his or her decision within thirty (30) days after receipt of both of the other two determinations of the Extension Term Fixed Rent. The Third Appraiser’s decision shall be binding on both Landlord and Tenant. Each party shall bear the cost of its own appraiser and the cost of the Third Appraiser shall be paid by the party whose determination is not selected.

(v)Any termination, expiration, cancellation or surrender of the Lease shall terminate any right or option for the Extension Terms.

16.Landlord’s Sixth Modification Work.

(i)Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that Tenant is occupying the Demised Premises as of the Effective Date and Tenant will remain in and continue occupancy of the Original Premises in its “as is, where is” condition on the New Term Commencement Date, without any agreements, representations, understandings or obligations on the part of Landlord to perform any alterations, repairs or improvements, except for the work identified on Exhibit A attached to this Sixth Modification Agreement (collectively, “Landlord’s HVAC and Roof Work”), Landlord’s Garage Repairs (hereinafter defined) and Landlord’s continuing repair and maintenance obligations pursuant to the Lease. Landlord shall substantially complete Landlord’s HVAC and Roof Work on or before that date which is eighteen (18) months from the Effective Date (as such date shall be extended by Tenant Delays (as hereinafter defined) (the “HVAC and Roof Work Outside Date”). The HVAC Work shall be completed in accordance with the specifications set forth on Exhibit B of this Sixth Modification Agreement. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to perform the HVAC and Roof Work in a manner that does not materially impact Tenant’s ability to conduct its ordinary course of business in the Premises. If

Landlord’s HVAC and Roof Work is not substantially completed on or before the HVAC and Roof Work Outside Date, then as liquidated damages and the sole and exclusive remedy of Tenant on account thereof, for and with respect to each day that occurs between the HVAC and Roof Work Outside Date and the date on which the HVAC and Roof Work is substantially completed, Tenant shall receive a per diem credit against the Fixed Rent in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the Fixed Rent then payable by Tenant until such time as the HVAC and Roof Work is substantially completed.

(ii)During the period between the Effective Date and completion of the HVAC and Roof Work (“HVAC Work Period”), Landlord shall continue to provide Tenant with heating, ventilation or air-conditioning (“HVAC”) service as required under the Lease and shall take such temporary measures and install temporary equipment, at its sole cost and expense, reasonably required to provide the required HVAC service for Tenant to continue its ordinary course of business at the Demised Premises consistent with standards reasonably expected in a Class A building.

(iii)If during the HVAC Work Period Tenant believes that a Substantial Portion of the Demised Premises is Untenantable, Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord by email to Alice Zhu (Alice.Zhu@cushwake.com) and Peter Ofarrill (Peter.Ofarrill@cushwake.com) (or such other party as Landlord may direct by written notice to Tenant) of such Untenantability (the “Construction Period Untenantability Notice”). Upon receipt of the Construction Period Untenantability Notice, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly dispatch a representative to meet with a Tenant representative at the Demised Premises to investigate Tenant’s Untenantability claim. In connection with said investigation, the parties shall take multiple temperature readings (with a maximum of six) in mutually agreed to locations (the “Temperature Readings”) in the affected Substantial Portion area(s) (the “Affected Area”) of the Demised Premises. In the event that the average of the Temperature Readings confirms Tenant’s Untenantability claim and Tenant has (a) notified its employees that Tenant is ceasing operations at the Demised Premises, and (b) substantially all of the Tenant’s employees have vacated or not shown up for work at the Demised Premises as a result of the Untenantability, then for the period commencing on the day of Tenant’s Construction Period Untenability Notice until such Substantial Portion of the Demised Premises is no longer Untenantable, 100% of Fixed Rent for the Demised Premises shall be abated.

(iv)For purposes hereof:

(a)“Substantial Portion” shall mean 10% or more of the Demised Premises during the HVAC Work Period.

(b)a “Tenant Delay” is defined as an actual delay in the performance of all or any portion of Landlord’s HVAC and Roof Work to the extent (i) due to special work, lead-time items, alterations or additions not contemplated by the original HVAC and Roof Work and specifically required or made by Tenant, (ii) caused by Tenant through the delay of Tenant in supplying information or approving plans, or (iii) due to any act or omission by Tenant and/or Tenant’s agents, servants, employees, consultants, contractors, subcontractors, licensees and/or subtenants;

(c)“Untenantable” or “Untenantability” shall mean that the average temperature readings of the Affected Area are either (i) less than or equal to sixty-five (65) degrees Fahrenheit, or (ii) equal to or greater than seventy-six (76) degrees Fahrenheit.

(v)Section 19.02 of the Lease is hereby deleted in its entirety.

(vi)Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to turn on the HVAC system sufficiently in advance after a weekend or holiday to allow the Demised Premises to reach the appropriate temperature by the Business Hours on the Business Days pursuant to Section 19.01 of the Original Lease.

17.Landlord’s Garage Repairs. Landlord shall substantially complete the work set forth on Exhibit C attached to this Sixth Modification Agreement to the garage located adjacent to the Building (collectively, “Landlord’s Garage Repairs”), on or before the applicable dates for the same as set forth in Exhibit C (as such dates shall be extended by Unavoidable Delays). If any portion of the Landlord’s Garage Repairs as set forth in Exhibit C is not substantially completed on or before the applicable date set forth in Exhibit C (as such dates shall be extended by Unavoidable Delays), then as liquidated damages and the sole and exclusive remedy of Tenant on account thereof, for and with respect to each day that occurs between the applicable date (as extended, if applicable) and the date on which Landlord’s Garage Repairs are substantially completed, Tenant shall receive a per diem credit against the Fixed Rent in an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the Fixed Rent then payable by Tenant.

18.Parking.

(i)Landlord shall provide up to forty-four (44) executive reserved spaces (the “Executive Parking Spaces”) in the parking area located below the Building (the “Executive Parking Area”). At any time after the Third Additional Premises Expiration Date, Landlord shall have the right to request, by delivering thirty (30) days prior written notice to Tenant (a “Parking Surrender Notice”), that Tenant surrenders up to fifteen (15) of the Executive Parking Spaces to Landlord. At any time after the 5th Floor Premises Expiration Date, Landlord shall have the right to request, by delivering a Parking Surrender Notice, that Tenant surrenders up to eight (8) of the Executive Parking Spaces to Landlord. If Landlord delivers a Parking Surrender Notice to Tenant, then Tenant shall promptly surrender the requested Executive Parking Spaces to Landlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained in the Lease, Landlord shall provide at least twenty-two (22) Executive Parking Spaces in the Executive Parking Area to Tenant during the remainder of the Original Premises New Term.

(ii)Landlord shall provide non-exclusive unreserved parking spaces in the parking decks(s) and grade level parking serving the Building (the “Unreserved Parking Spaces”, and together with the Executive Parking Spaces, collectively, the “Parking Spaces”) up to the number that, together with Tenant’s then allocated Executive Parking Spaces, cumulatively satisfies the ratio of 4 parking spaces per 1,000 of Floor Space of the then Demised Premises (the “Maximum Parking Space Allotment”).

(iii)During the performance of Landlord’s Garage Repairs by Landlord or the performance of any other repair, maintenance, and improvement work to any areas which contain or provide access to the Unreserved Parking Spaces, Landlord or the property manager shall have the right to temporarily close the area where the Unreserved Parking Spaces are located provided, however, that Landlord shall take commercially reasonable efforts to minimize the interruption of service, access to, and use of the Unreserved Parking Spaces in connection with same and diligently pursue completion of any such work affecting the Unreserved Parking Spaces. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall at all times during the Landlord’s Garage Repairs or any other repairs or condition that prevents Tenant from having access to the Unreserved Parking Spaces (i) continue to have access and use of the Executive Parking Spaces, and (ii) Landlord shall provide temporary parking to Tenant for its Unreserved Parking Spaces in the parking areas identified as “Deck B”, “Surface Visitor”, and “Surface Open Air” on Exhibit D attached to this Sixth Modification Agreement (the “Temporary Parking Areas”).

(iv)Landlord hereby covenants and agrees that provided that the named Tenant hereunder or its Permitted Assignee leases the entirety of the Original Premises, in no event will it amend that certain Third Amendment and Restated Declaration and Grant of Parking Easement dated August 21, 2014 (the “Parking Agreement”), in a manner which will reduce the current allocation of parking spaces to the Building. Landlord further acknowledges that the use and allocation of the Parking Spaces to Tenant as provided in the Lease is a material term of this Lease and that Tenant would not have entered into this Sixth Modification Agreement without the use and allocation of the Parking Spaces as provided in this Agreement. During the Original Premises New Term, provided that the named Tenant or its Permitted Assignee leases the entirety of the Original Premises, Landlord shall not grant any exclusive use to any other tenant in the Building for parking in the Unreserved Parking Areas.

19.Assignment Sublet and Mortgaging Modifications. Article 11 of the Lease is hereby amended and/or supplemented as follows:

(i)Permitted Occupants. Notwithstanding anything in the Lease to the contrary, the prior consent of Landlord shall not be required, and the provisions of Sections 11.01 and 11.08 of the Lease shall not apply with respect to, occupancy arrangements with employees of clients and vendors of Tenant, consultants, advisors and other third parties with whom Tenant or its Affiliate has an independent business relationship (collectively, “Permitted Occupants”) for the use and occupancy of space within the Demised Premises, provided that (i) Tenant does not separately demise such space and the Permitted Occupants utilize, in common with Tenant, common entryways to the Demised Premises as well as shared central services, such as reception, photocopying and the like; (ii) the Permitted Occupants shall occupy, in the aggregate, not more than fifteen percent (15%) of the rentable area of the Demised Premises; (iii) the Permitted Occupants occupy space in the Demised Premises for the Permitted Use and for no other purpose; and (iv) if requested by Landlord, Tenant notifies Landlord, in writing, of the identity of any such Permitted Occupants prior to occupancy of the Demised Premises by such Permitted Occupants.

notices required to be provided by Landlord under this Lease shall be forwarded only to Tenant in accordance with the terms of this Lease and in no event shall Landlord be required to send any notices to any Permitted Occupants; (C) in no event shall any use or occupancy of any portion of the Demised Premises by any Permitted Occupant release or relieve Tenant from any of its obligations under this Lease; (D) the Permitted Occupants shall be deemed to be invitees of Tenant for purposes of Tenant’s indemnification obligations set forth in this Lease; and (E) in no event shall the occupancy of any portion of the Demised Premises by Permitted Occupants be deemed to create a landlord/tenant relationship between Landlord and such Permitted Occupants, and, in all instances, Tenant shall be considered the sole tenant under this Lease notwithstanding the occupancy of any portion of the Demised Premises by the Permitted Occupants. For sake of clarity, the Permitted Occupants shall not count towards the number of subtenants Tenant is permitted to have in the Demised Premises.
