ARTICLE 3
FAILURE TO GIVE POSSESSION
3.01 No Effect on Lease. If, for any reason whatsoever, the Premises or any additional space to be included within the Premises shall not be available for occupancy by Tenant in the condition required by this Lease on the specific date or anticipated date herein designated for the commencement of the Term or for the inclusion of such space in the Premises for any reason whatsoever, then this Lease shall not be affected thereby but, in such case, the Commencement Date with respect to the Premises, and the effective date of the inclusion within the Premises of any additional space, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be postponed until the date when the Premises or the additional space, as the case may be, shall be available for occupancy by Tenant, and Tenant shall not be entitled to possession of the Premises or the additional space until the same are available for occupancy by Tenant; provided, however, that, except as provided in the immediately following sentence, Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord, and Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant by reason of any such postponement, and the parties hereto further agree that any failure to have the Premises or such additional space available for occupancy by Tenant shall in no way affect the obligations of Tenant hereunder nor shall the same be construed in any way to extend the Term. The foregoing notwithstanding, if the Commencement Date for either floor of the initial Premises hereunder does not occur on or before August 1, 2014 for any reason other than a delay caused by Tenant or any Tenant Party or Unavoidable Delay, then (i) the Rent Commencement Date for such floor shall be extended by one day for each day from (and including) August 1, 2014, and ending on the day immediately preceding the Commencement Date therefor as provided in Section 1.01(x) hereof (i.e., if the Commencement Date occurred on August 5, 2014 for example, the Rent Commencement Date would be nine (9) months after August 5, 2014), and (ii) if the Commencement Date for either such floor does not occur on or before September 1, 2014, for any reason other than a delay caused by Tenant or any Tenant Party or Unavoidable Delay, then, in addition to the provisions of clause (i) of this sentence, Tenant shall be entitled to a credit against the Base Rent in the amount of (x) $18,816.90 per day in the case of the 14th floor, and (y) $16,634.38 per day in the case of the 16th floor, for each day from (and including) September 1, 2014 to (and including) the date immediately preceding the Commencement Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the Commencement Date for either such floor (an Incomplete Floor) has not otherwise occurred on or before October 1, 2014 for any reason, then (A) the Commencement Date for such Incomplete Floor shall be October 1, 2014 for all purposes (including for purposes of determining the extension of the Rent Commencement Date and the rent credit provided for in the immediately preceding sentence to which Tenant is entitled for such Incomplete Floor), (B) Tenant shall accept the Premises in their as is condition, and shall promptly and diligently complete the Landlords Work remaining incomplete on October 1, 2014, and (C) Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for Tenants actual and reasonable cost of completing Landlords Work on such Incomplete Floor. Landlord's payment shall be due within thirty (30) days after receipt of Tenant's bill therefor accompanied by reasonable evidence that Tenant has incurred and paid the costs so billed. If Landlord fails to reimburse Tenant for the actual and reasonable costs incurred by Tenant to complete any such Landlords Work within thirty (30) days from the date of Tenant's written demand therefor, Tenant may offset such costs from the next installment or installments of Base Rent due under this Lease together with interest on such unreimbursed costs at the Interest Rate, such offset right to be exercisable upon written notice from Tenant to Landlord; provided however, Tenant may not offset more than twenty-five (25%) percent of any monthly installment of Base Rent. This Section 3.01 shall be deemed to be an express provision to the contrary of Section 223-a of the Real Property Law of the State of New York and any other Requirement of like import now or hereafter in force.

ARTICLE 4
CONDITION OF PREMISES
4.01 (a) Landlord shall perform Landlords Work in the manner and subject to the provisions of Exhibit C-1 attached hereto and made a part hereof. Landlords Work shall be deemed to have been Substantially Completed (subject to Landlords obligation to complete same) even though minor details or adjustments may not then be completed. The taking of possession of the Premises by Tenant for the performance of Tenants Work (or the completion of Landlords Work pursuant to Section 3.01 hereof) or for the conduct of business or for any other reason whatsoever shall be deemed an acceptance of the Premises and Substantial Completion by Landlord of Landlords Work (except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 3.01 hereof). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, in the event that the Commencement Date is delayed by reason of delays caused or occasioned by Tenant, Tenant agrees that at Landlords option the term of this Lease and Tenants obligations shall commence on the date that this Lease would have commenced had the Commencement Date not been so delayed by Tenant. Other than Landlords obligation to perform Landlords Work and pay the Work Allowance (as defined in Exhibit C-2) in accordance with, and subject to, the provisions of Exhibit C-2, Landlord shall have no obligation to perform any work, supply any materials or incur any cost in preparing the Premises for Tenants occupancy, and Tenant shall accept possession and occupancy of the Premises on the Commencement Date in their then AS-IS condition and state of repair, subject to any and all defects therein, latent or otherwise. Any installations, materials and work which may be undertaken by or for the account of Tenant to equip, decorate and furnish the Premises for Tenants initial occupancy thereof (hereinafter referred to as Tenants Work) shall be performed in accordance with Exhibit C-2 at Tenants sole cost and expense (except for Landlords obligation to perform Landlords Work and pay the Work Allowance in accordance with, and subject to, the provisions of Exhibit C-2), in accordance with the terms, covenants and conditions set forth in this Lease, including, without limitation, Articles 13 and 14 hereof.

In the event (i) Landlord fails to cure any Landlord Violation within ten (10) days after receipt of notice from Tenant (which cure period shall be extended on a day for day basis to the extent Landlord is prevented from curing such violation by reason of delay caused by Tenant or any Tenant Party, or if such cure is not susceptible to being cured within ten (10) days, if Landlord is diligently pursuing the cure), and (ii) Tenant is actually delayed in completing Tenants Work and occupying the Premises as a result of a Landlord Violation, then the Rent Commencement Date shall be extended by one day for each day Tenant is actually delayed in completing Tenants Work and occupying the Premises as a result of a Landlord Violation. Landlord agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the responsible tenant or occupant of the Building to cure any Non-Landlord Violations.
13

Landlord may also attempt to obtain LEED certification for the Building. Landlord and Tenant shall discuss and cooperate with one another, without cost or expense to the cooperating party, to obtain a potential LEED Certification for the Building and/or the Premises and establish appropriate goals with respect thereto. Any failure for any reason by Landlord or Tenant to obtain or maintain any LEED certification shall be without liability to Landlord or Tenant and shall not constitute a default by Landlord or Tenant hereunder. As of the date of this Lease, the Building is Energy Star rated.
ARTICLE 5

(a) Taxes means the aggregate amount of (i) all real estate taxes that are imposed upon the Real Property (or any interest therein or portion thereof) or upon an owner of an interest of the Real Property or are otherwise payable with respect to the Real Property, and, in all such cases, are payable, directly or indirectly, by Landlord in respect of any Tax Year (the real estate tax component of Taxes is herein after referred to as the Real Estate Tax Component.), plus (ii) all general and special assessments that are imposed upon the Real Property (or any interest therein or portion thereof) or upon an owner of an interest of the Real Property or are otherwise payable with respect to the Real Property, and, in all such cases, are payable in respect of any Tax Year after the Base Tax Year, including, in the case of any general or special assessments, (x) assessments imposed or made upon or with respect to any air and development rights now or hereafter appurtenant to or affecting the Real Property, and (y) all charges and fees imposed by any business improvement district or other civic or community organization (whether payment thereof is voluntary or required by law), plus (iii) all fees, taxes, assessments and/or charges imposed by any Governmental Authority for any vaults, vault space or other space within or outside the boundaries of the Real Property and for water and sewer. If at any time during the Term the Real Property (or any portion thereof) is subject to any Reduction Benefits (as such term is defined in subsection 5.01(h) below), including the Base Taxes, then Base Taxes and Taxes shall be determined as if the Reduction Benefits did not exist. If at any time after the date of this Lease the methods of taxation prevailing on the date of this Lease shall be altered so that in lieu of or as an addition to or as a substitute for the whole or any part of the taxes, assessments, levies, impositions or charges now levied, assessed or imposed on real estate and the improvements thereon, there shall be levied, assessed or imposed (A) a tax, assessment, levy, imposition or charge wholly or partially as capital levy or otherwise on the rents received therefrom, or (B) a tax, assessment, levy, imposition or charge measured by or based in whole or in part upon the Premises, or (C) a license fee measured by the rents payable by Tenant to Landlord, then all such taxes, assessments, levies, impositions or charges, or the part thereof so measured or based, shall be deemed to be included within the term Taxes for the purposes hereof. The term Taxes shall not include any income, franchise, transfer, inheritance, sales, estate, capital stock or other similar tax imposed on Landlord unless, due to a future change in the method of taxation, an income, franchise, transfer, inheritance, capital stock or other tax shall be levied against Landlord in substitution for any tax or increase therein which would otherwise constitute Taxes, as defined in the first sentence of this subsection (a), in which event such income, franchise, transfer, inheritance, capital stock or other tax shall be deemed to be included in the term Taxes. If any assessment is paid by Landlord in installments, then same shall be deemed payable in the maximum number of installments payable by law only the installments so payable by Landlord in a given Tax Year (together with any interest thereon payable to the assessing authority by reason of the payment of same in installments) shall be included in Taxes for such Tax Year.

Landlord anticipates that, as of the Commencement Date, (a) the Building and the Land will be subject to condominium ownership, and (b) all tax lots comprising the Land and the Building will be Included Tax Lots. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time (or from time to time) after the Commencement Date one or more of the tax lots then comprising the Included Tax Lots is sold or transferred to a party other than Landlord (or an affiliate of Landlord) or one or more of the tax lots then comprising the Excluded Tax Lots is sold or transferred to Landlord (or an affiliate of Landlord), then from and after the first day of the Tax Year immediately succeeding the Tax Year in which ownership of the Included Tax Lots or Excluded Tax Lots in question was sold or transferred, the tax lots comprising the Real Property for purposes of calculating Taxes for all purposes hereunder (including Base Taxes) shall be adjusted to reflect only those tax lots then comprising the Included Tax Lot; provided however, in no event shall Tenants Tax Payment be increased by reason of the sale or transfer of any condominium unit in the Building (other than a transfer of all condominium units in the Building) to a party other than Landlord, and at all times Tenants Tax Payment shall be determined as if such sale or transfer had not occurred and that all the tax lots comprising the Land and Building are Included Tax Lots.

Each statement, notice and bill given or furnished by, or on behalf of, Landlord under this Article is hereinafter called a Tax Statement.

Subject to the terms of any SNDA (as hereinafter defined) in effect, if the lessor of a superior lease or the holder of a superior mortgage shall succeed to the rights of Landlord under this Lease, whether through possession or foreclosure action or delivery of a new lease or deed, or if a superior lease shall terminate or be terminated for any reason, then, at the election and upon demand of the party so succeeding to Landlords rights, as the successor owner of the property of which the Premises is a part, or as the mortgagee in possession thereof, or otherwise (such party, owner or mortgagee being herein sometimes called the successor landlord), Tenant shall attorn to and recognize such successor landlord as Tenants landlord under this Lease, and shall promptly execute and deliver any instrument that such successor landlord may reasonably request to evidence such attornment. Subject to the terms of any SNDA in effect, upon such attornment, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect as, or as if it were, a direct lease between the successor landlord and Tenant, upon all of the executory terms, conditions and covenants as are set forth in this Lease and shall be applicable after such attornment, except that the successor landlord shall not be:
(a) liable for any previous act or omission of Landlord (or any of its predecessors-in-interest) under this Lease, except that the successor landlord shall be obligated to cure any defaults of Landlord which continue following the date such successor landlord succeeds to the interest of Landlord hereunder and which are reasonably susceptible of being cured by such successor landlord;
(b) subject to any credits, offsets, claims, counterclaims, demands or defenses which Tenant may have against Landlord (or any of its predecessors in interest), except for credits or offsets specifically provided for in this Lease;
(c) bound by any previous modification of this Lease or by any previous prepayment of more than one months Base Rent, unless such modification or prepayment shall have been expressly approved in writing by the lessor of the superior lease or the holder of the superior mortgage through or by reason of which the successor landlord shall have succeeded to the rights of Landlord under this Lease;
(d) bound by any covenant to undertake or complete any construction of the Premises, the Building or any portion thereof or pay for or reimburse Tenant for any costs incurred in connection with such construction;
(e) required to account for any security deposit of Tenant other than any security deposit actually delivered to the successor landlord by Landlord;
(f) liable for the obligations of Landlord under this Lease for any period of time other than such period as such successor landlord holds such interest;
(g) responsible for any monies owing by Landlord to the credit of Tenant; and
28
(h) bound by any obligation to make any payment to Tenant that Landlord (or any of its predecessors-in-interest) was then obligated to pay, or grant or be subject to any credits except for those expressly set forth in this Lease.
The foregoing provisions shall inure to the benefit of any successor landlord, shall apply to the tenancy of Tenant notwithstanding that this Lease may terminate upon the termination of the superior lease, and shall be self-operative upon any such demand, without requiring any further instrument to give effect to said provisions. Tenant, however, upon demand of any successor landlord, agrees to execute, from time to time, an instrument in confirmation of the foregoing provisions, satisfactory to such successor landlord, in which Tenant shall acknowledge such attornment. Nothing contained in this Section shall be construed to impair any right, privilege or option of any successor landlord.
7.04 Non-disturbance. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article to the contrary, for so long as Tenant is not in default (after receipt of written notice and the expiration of any applicable cure period ) of its obligation to pay any Base Rent or any Additional Rent payable pursuant to Article 5 hereof and no Event of Default then exists, Landlord shall obtain and deliver to Tenant a Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement (hereinafter referred to as an SNDA) for the benefit of Tenant from the holder of each new superior mortgage that becomes effective after the date hereof and from the lessor under each superior lease that becomes effective after the date hereof, each of which SNDAs shall be on the standard form then utilized by such holder or lessor and shall be executed by Tenant and returned to Landlord within fifteen (15) Business Days of Landlords request therefor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Tenant fails to execute, acknowledge or deliver to Landlord or to such holder or lessor such SNDA, this Lease shall be subordinate to such superior mortgage or superior lease, as the case may be, as set forth in this Article, and Landlord shall be deemed to have fulfilled all of its obligations under this Section with respect to obtaining an SNDA from such holder or lessor, as the case may be. (For the purposes of the preceding sentence, a holder or lessor shall include a person who, at the time such SNDA is delivered to Tenant, is not yet a holder of a superior mortgage or a lessor under a superior lease, but is a prospective holder or a prospective lessor who thereafter becomes an actual holder of a superior mortgage or an actual lessor under a superior lease, as the case may be.) Landlord shall be responsible for any fees or expenses charged by the mortgagee or lessor for such SNDA and for Landlords legal fees and expenses, if any, in connection therewith, but Tenant shall be responsible for Tenants own legal fees and expenses, if any, in connection therewith.
7.05 Lease is Subordinate to the Condominium. So long as the Condominium remains in being, this Lease is subject and subordinate to the Condominium, including but not limited to the Condominium Documents, as the same may be from time to time amended, provided that nothing therein shall materially and adversely affect the rights of Tenant or the obligations of Landlord to Tenant hereunder. This clause shall be self-operative and no further instrument of subordination shall be required by the Condominium or its Board of Managers. However, within twenty (20) days after Landlord's request, Tenant shall promptly execute a certificate in confirmation of such subordination, in form and content reasonably satisfactory to Landlord.
29
ARTICLE 8
QUIET ENJOYMENT
8.01 Quiet Enjoyment. So long as this Lease is in full force and effect, Tenant shall peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy the Premises subject, nevertheless, to the obligations of this Lease and any SNDA with any lessors under superior leases and the holders of any superior mortgages.
ARTICLE 9
ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
9.01 Consent Required. (a) Tenant, for itself, its heirs, distributees, executors, administrators, legal representatives, successors and assigns, expressly covenants that it shall not assign, mortgage, or encumber this Lease or any of its rights, interests or estates hereunder or in the Premises, sublet the Premises or any part thereof, or suffer or permit the Premises, or any part thereof, to be used, occupied or operated by others for desk space, mailing privileges or any other purpose, or suffer or permit any of the other transactions or events described in this sentence by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of Landlord in each instance, which consent may be given or withheld by Landlord in its sole and absolute discretion (except as otherwise expressly provided in this Article), and if any of the foregoing transactions or events occur without Landlords consent same shall be null and void. If this Lease be assigned, or if the Premises or any part thereof be sublet or occupied by person other than Tenant, Landlord may, after an Event of Default, collect rent from the assignee, subtenant, or occupant, and apply the net amount collected to the rent herein reserved, but no assignment, subletting, occupancy, or collection shall be deemed a waiver of the provisions hereof, the acceptance of the assignee, subtenant, or occupant as tenant, or a release of Tenant from the further performance by Tenant of covenants on the part of Tenant herein contained. Landlords consent to an assignment or subletting shall not, in any way, be construed to relieve Tenant from obtaining Landlords express written consent to any further assignment or subletting. In no event shall any permitted subtenant assign or encumber its sublease, further sublet all or any portion of its sublet space, or otherwise suffer or permit the sublet space, or any part thereof, to be used, occupied or operated by others, except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 9.16 hereof. In no event shall any assignment instrument or sublease be amended or modified, without Landlords prior written consent in each instance, in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Lease. For the purposes of this Lease, the entering into of any management, franchise or operating agreement, or any agreement in the nature thereof transferring control of the operation or management of any portion of the Premises or of the business being conducted in the Premises or any portion thereof to a person other than Tenant (or a permitted subtenant, as the case may be), or transferring control of any substantial percentage of the profits and losses from the business operations in the Premises (or any portion thereof) to a person other than Tenant (or a permitted subtenant, as the case may be), or otherwise having substantially the same effect, including a so-called take-over agreement in respect of the Premises or Tenants interest therein or in this Lease, shall be treated for all purposes as an assignment of this Lease (or an assignment of a permitted sublease, as the case may be) and shall be governed by the provisions of this Section 9.01.
(b) For the purposes of this Lease, Permitted Occupant means Tenant, a subtenant or other person that is permitted to occupy all or a portion of the Premises pursuant to this Article 9, for so long as such subtenant or other person is so permitted to occupy all of a portion of the Premises and a Permitted Affiliated Person (as such term is defined in Section 9.17 hereof).
30
9.02 (a) If Tenant shall, at any time or times during the Term, desire to assign this Lease or sublet all or any portion of the Premises, then, prior to executing any assignment or sublease agreement (or, if no agreement shall be executed by and between Tenant and any proposed sublessee or assignee, prior to the effective date of any such assignment or sublease), Tenant shall give notice thereof to Landlord, which notice (the A/S Notice) shall be accompanied by a summary (the A/S Term Sheet), of (1) in the case of a sublease, the portion of the Premises Tenant proposes to sublease (such portion of the Premises, including the entire Premises, being herein referred to as the A/S Subject Space, and in the case of an assignment, the entire Premises being herein referred to as the A/S Subject Space), including (x) the RSF of the A/S Subject Space, (y) a reasonably detailed floor plan thereof, and (z) the amount, if any, of condenser water Tenant is making available to the A/S Subject Space from its Maximum Supplemental HVAC Capacity (hereinafter defined), (2) in the case of an assignment, the effective date of the proposed assignment, and in the case of a sublease, the commencement date and the expiration date of the proposed subletting, neither of which shall be less than 30 days nor more than 180 days following the date of the A/S Notice, (3) in the case of an assignment, all sums and other consideration to be paid to, or on behalf of, Tenant or Tenants designee for, or by reason of, such assignment, including all sums to be paid for the sale or rental of fixtures, leasehold improvements, Supplemental HVAC Capacity, equipment, furniture, furnishings and/or other personal property, and in the case of a sublease, the annual rental payable during the term of the proposed subletting, all additional rent payable under, or with respect to, the proposed sublease, including any additional rent related to increases in real estate taxes or operating expenses for the Building, charges for condenser water, increases in any price index or wage or labor rate, and any sprinkler or water charges, (4) the dollar amount of any work which Tenant is willing to perform or pay for in the A/S Subject Space, and (5) any concession or free rent period applicable to the proposed assignment or subletting, and (6) all other material terms and conditions of the proposed subletting, including any allocations of condenser water to the A/S Subject Space.
(b) Each A/S Notice with respect to a proposed assignment of this Lease or a proposed subletting of all or any portion of the Premises which is a Long Term Sublease (as hereinafter defined) given to Landlord shall be deemed an offer from Tenant to Landlord whereby Landlord (or Landlords designee) may, at its option (hereinafter referred to as Landlords Option), (i) sublease the A/S Subject Space from Tenant upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth (if the proposed transaction is a sublease), or (ii) terminate this Lease with respect to the A/S Subject Space (if the proposed transaction is an assignment of this Lease or a Long Term Sublease (as hereinafter defined). Landlords Option may be exercised by Landlord by notice (the Landlords Option Notice) to Tenant at any time during the thirty (30) day period (the A/S Review Period) commencing on the date (the A/S Notice Date) that Landlord has received the A/S Notice, accompanied by the A/S Term Sheet, and through the last day of the A/S Review Period Tenant shall not assign this Lease or sublet any portion of the Premises to any person. If Landlord shall not exercise its rights hereunder Tenant may proceed to market the Premises as contemplated in the A/S Offer Terms. If the terms agreed to in the final documents of transfer, including without limitation, any amounts of condenser water to be furnished to the A/S Subject Space from the Maximum Supplemental HVAC Capacity or any consideration paid therefor, are more favorable to Tenant by an aggregated factor of five (5%) percent or more, Landlord may, again, have the right to exercise its right hereunder, provided, however, that the period within which the Landlord may exercise such right shall be ten (10) Business Days.
31
(c) For the purposes of this Article a Long Term Sublease means a sublease whose term (including all extensions and renewals thereof, regardless of whether or not the right or the option to so extend or renew is exercised) is to end on a date that is during the last two (2) years of the Term.
9.03 Landlords Option to Terminate. (a) If Landlord exercises Landlords Option to terminate this Lease with respect to A/S Subject Space that is (or is deemed to be) the entire Premises, then this Lease shall end and expire on the date that such assignment or sublet was to be effective or commence, as the case may be, and the Base Rent and Additional Rent shall be paid and apportioned to such date.
(b) If Landlord exercises Landlords Option to terminate this Lease with respect to A/S Subject Space that is less than the entire Premises, then, (i) this Lease shall end and expire with respect to A/S Subject Space on the date that the proposed sublease was to commence as set forth in the A/S Notice, as if, with respect to the A/S Subject Space only, such expiration date were the Expiration Date; (ii) on or before such expiration date, Tenant shall quit and surrender to Landlord the A/S Subject Space in the condition and in the manner provided in this Lease for the surrender of the Premises to Landlord on the Expiration Date; (iii) from and after the date that this Lease ends and expires with respect to the A/S Subject Space the Base Rent and Tenants Expense Share and Tenants Tax Share shall be adjusted, based upon the proportion that the RSF of the Premises remaining bears to the total RSF of the Premises, and the Maximum Supplemental HVAC Capacity shall be reduced by the amount of condenser capacity as set forth in Tenants A/S Notice and A/S Terms as accepted by Landlord; and (iv) Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, within ten (10) days after Landlords demand therefor, the costs reasonably incurred by Landlord in physically separating the A/S Subject Space from the balance of the Premises and in complying with any Requirements relating to such separation. The failure of Tenant to quit and surrender to Landlord the A/S Subject Space in the condition and in the manner provided in this Lease for the surrender of the Premises to Landlord on the Expiration Date on or before such expiration date shall be a default under this Lease, entitling Landlord to exercise any or all of its rights and remedies hereunder, and available at law and in equity, other than the termination of this Lease. In addition, Landlord may exercise any or all of Landlords rights and remedies under Section 24.02 of this Lease as if, for the purposes of said Section 24.02, the A/S Subject Space were the Premises. Furthermore, for the purposes of said Section 24.02, the rents (including Base Rent, Tax Payment, Expense Payment and all other items of Additional Rent) payable by Tenant during the last year of the Term, as applied to the surrendered A/S Subject Space, shall mean the amounts of the rents (including Base Rent, Tax Payment, Expense Payment and all other items of Additional Rent) that would have been payable for the A/S Subject Space, but for the surrender of the A/S Subject Space.
9.04 Takeback Sublease. (a) If Landlord exercises Landlords Option to sublet the A/S Subject Space, such sublease (the Takeback Sublease) to Landlord or its designee (as subtenant) shall be at the lower of (i) the rental rate per RSF of Base Rent and Additional Rent then payable pursuant to this Lease and (ii) the rentals set forth in the, A/S Term Sheet, and (iii) the Maximum Supplemental HVAC Capacity shall be reduced as set forth in the A/S Term Sheet, and in all cases shall be for the same term as that of the proposed subletting commencing on the date fixed in the A/S Term Sheet as the commencement date of the term thereof, and such sublease shall:
(i) be expressly subject to all of the covenants, agreements, terms, provisions and conditions of this Lease except such as are irrelevant or inapplicable, and except as otherwise expressly set forth to the contrary in this Section;
32
(ii) be upon the same terms and conditions as those contained in the A/S Term Sheet, except such as are irrelevant or inapplicable and except as otherwise expressly set forth to the contrary in this Section;
(iii) give the subtenant the unqualified and unrestricted right, without Tenants permission, to assign such sublease or any interest therein and/or to sublet the A/S Subject Space or any part or parts of the A/S Subject Space and to make any and all changes, alterations, decorations, installations and improvements in the space covered by such sublease;
(iv) provide that any assignee or further subtenant, of Landlord or its designee, may, at the election of Landlord, be permitted to make changes, alterations, decorations, installations and improvements in the A/S Subject Space or any part thereof and shall also provide in substance that any such changes, alterations, decorations, installations and improvements in the A/S Subject Space therein made by any assignee or subtenant of Landlord or its designee may be removed, in whole or in part, by such assignee or subtenant, at its option, prior to or upon the expiration or other termination of such sublease provided that such assignee or subtenant, at its expense, shall repair any damage and injury to that portion of the A/S Subject Space so sublet caused by such removal; and
(v) also provide that (A) the parties to such sublease expressly negate any intention that any estate created under such sublease be merged with any other estate held by either of said parties, (B) any assignment or subletting by Landlord or its designee (as the subtenant) may be for any purpose or purposes that Landlord, in Landlords uncontrolled discretion, shall deem suitable or appropriate, (C) Tenant, at Tenants sole cost and expense, shall and will at all times provide and permit reasonably appropriate means of ingress to and egress from the A/S Subject Space so sublet by Tenant to Landlord or its designee, (D) Landlord, at Tenants sole cost and expense, may make such alterations as may be required or deemed necessary by Landlord to physically separate the A/S Subject Space from the balance of the Premises and to comply with any Requirements relating to such separation, and (E) that at the expiration of the term of such sublease, Tenant will accept the space covered by such sublease in its then existing condition.
(b) If Landlord exercises Landlords Option to sublet the A/S Subject Space, then:
(i) Performance by Landlord, or its designee, under a sublease of the A/S Subject Space shall be deemed performance by Tenant of any similar obligation under this Lease and any default under any such sublease shall not give rise to a default under a similar obligation contained in this Lease, nor shall Tenant be liable for any default under this Lease or deemed to be in default hereunder if such default is occasioned by or arises from any act or omission of the tenant under such sublease or is occasioned by or arises from any act or omission of any occupant holding under or pursuant to any such sublease;
33
(ii) Tenant shall have no obligation, at the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, to remove any alteration, installation or improvement made in the A/S Subject Space by Landlord (or its designee);
(iii) Each month Landlord shall credit the base rent, additional rent and other amounts payable to Tenant by Landlord pursuant to the Takeback Sublease against the payments by Tenant of rent next becoming due under this Lease, but Tenant shall be obligated to pay to Landlord the balance of all Base Rent and Additional Rent payable by Tenant under this Lease; and
(iv) If Landlord or its designee (as a sub-sublandlord of the A/S Subject Space) shall receive rents and other charges in excess of the rents and other charges payable to Tenant by Landlord under the Takeback Sublease, any such excess shall belong exclusively to Landlord and Tenant shall have no right to any such excess.
(c) If Landlord or its designee shall take back all or any part of the Premises pursuant to Subsections 9.04 (a) and (b) hereof, and if thereafter, Landlord or its designee shall further assign the Lease or further sublet the portion so re-taken, Tenants liability hereunder shall not be increased, and shall remain as if such further subletting or assignment had not occurred.
9.05 Landlords Consent. (a) In the event that Tenant complies with the provisions of Section 9.02 and Landlord does not exercise any Landlords Option within the A/S Review Period, and provided that no Event of Default then exists, and subject to the provisions of Section 9.05(c) hereof, Landlords consent (which must be in writing and in form reasonably satisfactory to Landlord) to a proposed assignment or sublease to the party identified in the Second A/S Notice (hereinafter defined) shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, provided and upon the condition that (Tenant hereby agreeing that it shall be reasonable for Landlord to withhold its consent to a proposed assignment or subletting if, among other things, any of the following conditions are not satisfied):
(i) Tenant has complied with the provisions of Section 9.02, the A/S Review Period has expired and Landlord has not exercised any Landlords Option by the last day of the A/S Review Period;
(ii) Within six (6) months after the last day of the A/S Review Period, Tenant has given notice to Landlord (the Second A/S Notice) of Tenants desire to assign this Lease or sublet or a portion of the Premises to a specific person, together with a fully executed counterpart of the proposed assignment or sublease, the date on which Landlord receives the Second A/S Notice and the documentation described above being herein referred to as the Second A/S Notice Date. The Second A/S Notice shall contain (A) a statement setting forth, in reasonable detail, the identity of the proposed assignee or subtenant, including the names and addresses of the proposed assignee or subtenant and of its constituent members, shareholders, partners and/or other principals; (B) reasonably satisfactory information as to the nature and character of the business of the proposed assignee or subtenant and as to the nature of its proposed use of the Premises; (C) current banking, financial and other credit information relating to the proposed assignee or subtenant reasonably sufficient to enable Landlord to determine the financial responsibility and character of the proposed assignee or subtenant, including its most recent financial report (all of which Information shall be accurate and complete in all material respects);
34
(iii) The economic, business and other material terms and conditions of the proposed transaction, as set forth in the a fully executed counterpart of the proposed assignment or sublease that is part of the A/S Information, are materially and substantively the same as the economic, business and other material terms and conditions set forth in the A/S Term Sheet, it being agreed that the economic and business terms of the proposed transaction shall be deemed materially and substantively different than the economic and business terms set forth in the A/S Term Sheet if the net effective rent reflected in the said proposed assignment or sublease is less than 95% of the net effective rent reflected in the A/S Term Sheet, or, the amount of condenser water to be supplied to the A/S Subject Space from Tenants Maximum Supplemental HVAC Capacity is increased by more than 5% of that set forth in Tenants A/S Term Sheet, or both. As used herein net effective rent shall mean, on a dollar per RSF basis, the present value of the projected future rent payments, including escalations, free rent and amortized landlord concessions, expressed as an equivalent annuity over the lease term or the remaining portion of the lease term, using the same discount rate (expressed monthly or annually) for all calculations, and the dollar cost per RSF being calculated by dividing the actual gross annuity amount by the rentable area in question;
(iv) In Landlords reasonable judgment the proposed assignee or subtenant is engaged in a business, and the A/S Subject Space will be used in a manner, which is in keeping with the then standards of the Building;
(v) The proposed assignee or subtenant is reputable and has sufficient financial worth considering the responsibility involved (taking into account (a) any guaranty of any of the Tenants obligations under this Lease then in effect and (2) any guaranty of any of the subtenants obligations under the sublease, and the then credit of Tenant and of all such guarantor(s) under such guarantee(s)), and Landlord has been furnished with reasonable proof thereof;
(vi) If no other space (with comparable RSF to the RSF of the proposed A/S Subject Space) is then available for leasing the Building or is scheduled to become available within ten (10) months of the A/S Notice, neither (x) the proposed assignee or subtenant nor (y) any person that, directly or indirectly, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, the proposed assignee or subtenant or any person who controls the proposed assignee or subtenant, is then an occupant or tenant of any part of the Building;
(vii) If no other space (with comparable RSF to the RSF of the proposed A/S Subject Space) is then available for leasing the Building or is scheduled to become available within ten (10) months of the A/S Notice, the proposed assignee or subtenant is not a person with whom Landlord is then, or shall have been during the previous four (4) month period, negotiating to lease space in the Building;
35
(viii) The proposed assignment agreement or sublease agreement, as the case may be, shall be in form reasonably satisfactory to Landlord and shall comply with the applicable provisions of this Article;
(ix) At no time shall there be more than four (4) occupants or entities occupying any floor of the Premises (or a maximum of five (5) occupants of the entire Premises), in all cases including Tenant and Landlord (or its designee(s)) pursuant to one or more Takeback Subleases;
(x) Tenant shall not utilize any advertisement which states the name (as distinguished from the address) of the Building or the proposed rental; and
(xi) The A/S Sublet Space will be used for the Permitted Use, subject to the other applicable provisions of this Lease.
9.06 Procedures. (a) Tenant shall reimburse Landlord, on demand and as Additional Rent, for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred or paid by Landlord in connection with all proposed assignments and subleases (including proposed assignments of any subleases and further sublettings by any subtenant), including, without limitation, the costs of making investigations as to the acceptability of the proposed assignee or subtenant, and legal costs incurred in connection with the reviewing of the proposed assignment or subletting and all of the documents and other information related thereto, and the preparation of Landlords consent to the proposed transaction and all related documents (which costs and expenses Tenant covenants and agrees to reimburse to Landlord regardless of whether Landlord consents to the proposed assignment or sublease or whether such consent is required hereunder).
(b) If (A) Landlord fails to exercise any Landlords Option and (B) Landlord does not receive the Second A/S Notice together with the fully executed counterpart of the sublease and assignment documentation within six (6) months after the last day of the A/S Review Period, then, in either case, Tenant shall again comply with all of the provisions and conditions of Sections 9.02 and 9.05, before assigning this Lease or subletting all or part of the Premises.
(c) With respect to each and every assignment of this Lease or sublease of all or any portion of the Premises, whether or not consent is required under this Article, the assignment agreement or sublease agreement, as the case may be, shall expressly provide that the assignees or subtenants use of the Premises or the portion(s) thereof being sublet, as the case may be, is expressly limited to the Permitted Uses and is expressly subject to all of the limitations and restrictions set forth in this Lease, including all of the provisions of Article 2 above. To the extent that Landlords consent is required for such assignment or subletting, it shall be reasonable for Landlord not to consent to a proposed assignment or sublease or to a proposed assignee or subtenant if the proposed assignment agreement or sublease agreement, as the case may be, expressly permits, or does not expressly prohibit, the proposed assignee or subtenant, as the case may be, to use the Premises or the portion(s) thereof being sublet, as the case may be, for any purpose, or in a manner, that is not permitted, or is restricted or prohibited, under the terms, conditions or covenants of this Lease, or that the proposed assignee or subtenant, as the case may be, intends or is likely to use the Premises or the portion(s) thereof being sublet, as the case may be, for any purpose, or in a manner, that is not permitted, or is restricted or prohibited, under the terms, conditions or covenants of this Lease. Tenant covenants and agrees, and, by accepting an assignment of this Lease or a sublease of all or a portion of the Premises, all assignees and subtenants hereby agree, that, whether or not Landlords consent is required for an assignment or subletting, (i) nothing contained in this Article shall expand or increase the uses for which the Premises or any portion thereof may be used, and (ii) any use of the Premises or any portion thereof by an assignee or subtenant that is not in accordance with, and subject to, the applicable provisions of this Lease shall be a default by Tenant under this Lease.
36
9.07 Requirements for Subleases. Except for any subletting by Tenant to Landlord or its designee pursuant to the provisions of this Article, each subletting pursuant to this Article (including further sublettings by a subtenant that are expressly permitted by this Article or approved by Landlord) shall be subject to all of the covenants, agreements, terms, provisions and conditions contained in this Lease. Notwithstanding any subletting and/or acceptance of rent or additional rent by Landlord from any subtenant of Tenant, Tenant shall and will remain fully liable for the payment of the Base Rent and Additional Rent due, and to become due, hereunder, for the performance of all of the covenants, agreements, terms, provisions and conditions contained in this Lease on the part of Tenant to be performed and for all acts and omissions of any licensee, subtenant, or any other person claiming under or through any subtenant that shall be in violation of any of the obligations of this Lease, and any such violation shall be deemed to be a violation by Tenant. Tenant further agrees that, notwithstanding any such subletting, no other and further subletting of the Premises by Tenant or any Tenant Party (except as provided in Section 9.04), shall or will be made, except as otherwise expressly permitted pursuant to Section 9.16 hereof. If Landlord shall decline to give its consent to any proposed assignment or sublease, or if Landlord shall exercise any of its options under Section 9.02, Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless from and against any and all actions, proceedings, claims, deficiencies, judgments, suits, losses, obligations, penalties, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses (including court costs and reasonable legal fees and disbursements) for which Landlord may be directly or indirectly liable), that are paid by, imposed upon, incurred by or asserted against, Landlord arising under or out of, or in connection with, or resulting from any claims that may be made against Landlord by the proposed assignee or subtenant or by any brokers or other persons claiming a commission or similar compensation in connection with the proposed assignment or sublease.
9.08 Additional Requirements for Subleases. With respect to each and every sublease or subletting, whether or not consent is required under this Article, it is further agreed that:
(a) no subletting shall be for a term (as the same may be extended by the exercise of any renewal or extension option thereunder) ending later than one day prior to the expiration date of this Lease, and no sublease shall provide for an option on behalf of the subtenant thereunder to extend or renew the term of such sublease on substantially different terms than the terms of the original sublease;
(b) no sublease shall be valid, and no subtenant shall take possession of the Premises or any part thereof, until a true, complete, fully-executed counterpart of such sublease has been delivered to Landlord;
37
(i) each sublease shall provide that it is subject and subordinate to this Lease and to the matters to which this Lease is or shall be subordinate, and that, in the event of termination, re-entry, or dispossession by Landlord under this Lease, Landlord may, at its option, take over all of the right, title and interest of Tenant as sublandlord under such sublease, and such subtenant shall, at Landlords option, attorn to Landlord pursuant to the then executory provisions of such sublease, except that Landlord shall not be:
(ii) liable for any previous act or omission of Tenant (or its predecessor in interest) under such sublease;
(iii) subject to any credits, offsets, claims, counterclaims, demands or defenses which the subtenant may have against Tenant (or its predecessors in interest);
(iv) bound by any previous modification of such sublease or by any previous prepayment of more than one months rent, unless such modification or prepayment shall have been expressly approved in writing by Landlord;

Tenant and all Tenant Parties, at their sole cost and expense, shall comply with, and cause the compliance with, all Requirements having or claiming jurisdiction, directly or indirectly, over the Premises (or the appurtenances of any part thereof), the business conducted therein, and/or the operation, occupancy, maintenance and use of the Premises by, through or under Tenant, whether or not, in any of the foregoing cases, arising out of the use or manner of use thereof, including the Requirements under the Federal Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 and the ADA (as hereinafter defined). In furtherance of the foregoing, Tenant and all Tenant Parties, at their sole cost and expense, shall comply with, and cause the compliance with, all Requirements which shall, with respect to the Premises or the use and occupation thereof (or the abatement of any nuisance), impose any violation, order, duty or obligation on Landlord or Tenant (including an obligation to perform or make Alterations including Structural Alterations (as such terms are defined in Article 13 below) or repairs including structural repairs), arising from (i) the use of the Premises (other than for Office Use, generally), (ii) the manner of conduct of business in any portion of the Premises or the operation of the installations, equipment or other property therein to the extent inconsistent with Office Use, generally, (iii) any cause or condition created by or at the instance of Tenant or any Tenant Party that is inconsistent with Office Use, generally, other than by Landlords performance of any work for or on behalf of Tenant, (iv) any Alterations, or (v) a default in the observance, performance or compliance with any of Tenants obligations hereunder. However, Tenant shall not be so required to make any Structural Alterations, structural repairs in the Premises, the Building HVAC Systems, windows in the Office Premises, or to Building elevators, unless the requirement arises from the particular use or manner of use of the Premises (other than the mere use of the Premises for Office Use) or if the Requirement is specific to any of the Ancillary Permitted Uses (as opposed to the mere use of the Premises for Office Use) or from a cause or condition referred to in clause (ii), (iii) or (iv) above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall not be required to comply with any such Requirement so long as Tenant shall be contesting the validity thereof, or the applicability thereof to the Premises, in accordance with Section 10.02 of this Lease. To the extent that Tenant is obligated to perform any Structural Alterations or structural repairs to any portion of the Premises or other portion of the Building or is obligated to perform any changes, alterations or repairs outside of the Premises, Landlord, at its election, may perform such Structural Alterations, structural repairs, changes, alterations or repairs on Tenants behalf, in which event, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the actual costs paid or incurred by Landlord to perform same within thirty (30) days after Landlords request therefor.
44
(b) Landlord, at its expense, shall comply with all Requirements with which Tenant is not obligated to comply, but only to the extent that non-compliance by Landlord with such Requirements will prevent Tenant from using or occupying the Premises for Office Use (as opposed to any of the Ancillary Permitted Uses) or otherwise materially adversely affect Tenants use or occupancy of the Premises for Office Uses. Landlord shall have the right to contest and appeal any such Requirements, provided that same is done with all reasonable promptness and provided that such appeal does not subject Tenant to prosecution for a criminal offense.

(i) Landlord shall not be subject to criminal penalty or to prosecution for a crime nor shall the Premises or any part thereof be subject to being condemned or vacated, by reason of non-compliance or otherwise by reason of such contest;
(ii) Tenant shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Landlord from and against any and all actions, proceedings, claims, deficiencies, judgments, suits, losses, obligations, penalties, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses (including court costs and reasonable legal fees and disbursements) which Landlord shall suffer by reason of such non-compliance or contest;
(iii) such non-compliance or contest shall not constitute or result in any violation of any superior lease or superior mortgage, or if such superior lease and/or superior mortgage shall permit such non-compliance or contest on condition of the taking of action or furnishing of security by Landlord, such action shall be taken and such security shall be furnished at the expense of Tenant; and
(iv) Tenant shall keep Landlord advised as to the status of such proceedings.
(b) Without limiting the application of subsection (a)(i) above thereto, Landlord shall be deemed subject to prosecution for a crime within the meaning of said Subsection, if Landlord, or any officer, director, partner, member, principal or employee of Landlord individually, is charged with a crime of any kind or degree whatever, whether by service of a summons or otherwise, unless such charge is withdrawn before Landlord or such officer, director, partner, member, principal or employee (as the case may be) is required to plead or answer thereto.

Within ten (10) Business Days after receipt, Tenant shall advise Landlord in writing, and provide Landlord with copies of, any notices alleging violations of the ADA relating to any portion of the Premises; any claims made or threatened in writing regarding non-compliance with the ADA and relating to any portion of the Premises; or any governmental or regulatory actions or investigations instituted or threatened regarding non-compliance with the ADA and relating to any portion of the Premises. In addition, without Landlords prior written consent in each instance, which consent may be withheld by Landlord in its sole and absolute discretion, no portion of the Premises shall be used in any manner (other than for the Permitted Uses and the Ancillary Permitted Uses), and no Alterations (as hereinafter defined) shall be performed, if such manner of use or such Alterations requires that any alterations, changes, additions, improvements or other work be performed or made to any portions of the Building (outside the Premises) or the Land. (Any such alterations, changes, additions, improvements or other work to be performed or made to any portions of the Building (outside the Premises) or the Land that are required because of such manner of use or Alterations are herein referred to as Tenant Caused Building Alterations.) If Landlord gives its consent for such manner of use or Alterations, then, Landlord, at Tenants sole cost and expense, shall perform or make the Tenant Caused Building Alterations, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord as Additional Rent the cost and expense incurred or paid by Landlord to perform or make same, within thirty (30) days after Landlords demand therefor, which demand shall be accompanied by a reasonably detailed statement of the Tenant Caused Building Alterations so performed or made and the cost and expense incurred or paid by Landlord.

Upon renewal of any such insurance that expires before the expiration of this Lease, Landlord shall be provided with renewal Certificates of Insurance within ten (10) days following such expiration.

The review or approval by Landlord of any Tenants Plans or any revisions thereto is solely for Landlords benefit, and is without any representation or warranty whatsoever with respect to the adequacy, correctness or efficiency thereof or otherwise. Neither the granting by Landlord of its approval of any Tenants Plans or any revisions thereto, nor Landlords execution of any of the applications referred to in Section 13.04 below, shall in any manner constitute or be deemed to constitute a judgment or acknowledgment by Landlord as to their legality or compliance with Requirements.

If Tenant fails to give to Landlord an Objection Notice within such ninety (90) day period, or if Tenant fails to give to Landlord a copy of the Disputing Survey (as hereinafter defined) within thirty (30) days after Tenant gives to Landlord the corresponding Objection Notice, , then, in either case, the Usage set forth in the Electricity Invoice in question shall be conclusive and binding upon Tenant. If Tenant disputes any such notice by giving an Objection Notice within the time and in the manner hereinbefore provided, then Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, have the right to engage an electrical engineer or electrical consulting firm (hereinafter referred to as Tenants Consultant) who shall promptly make a survey (hereinafter referred to as the Disputing Survey) indicating the Usage for the period in question. In the event that Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree on the amount of Usage within thirty (30) days after the date Tenant gives to Landlord a copy of the Disputing Survey, then the Electrical Consultant and Tenants Consultant shall select a mutually acceptable electrical engineer or electrical consulting firm (hereinafter referred to as the Third Consultant) within ten (10) days after the expiration of such thirty (30) day period. The Electrical Consultant and Tenants Consultant shall submit the dispute to the Third Consultant and the determination by the Third Consultant shall be conclusive and binding upon Landlord and Tenant. During the pendency of any such dispute, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount set forth in the Electricity Invoice until the dispute is finally determined in accordance with the provisions of this Section and, in the event that the Tenants Cost, based on such final determination of the Usage for the period in question, is less than the amount set forth in the Electricity Notice, Landlord shall, at Tenants election, refund to Tenant the amount of such excess payment (less all amounts then owing to Landlord under this Lease) or credit any such excess against any amounts then due or becoming due to Landlord under this Lease.

Use of the Premises, or any part thereof, in a manner exceeding the design conditions (including occupancy and connected electrical load) specified for the Building HVAC Systems or rearrangement of partitioning which interferes with normal operation of the Heating Service or AC Service, may require changes in the Building HVAC Systems. If Landlord approves such changes, such changes shall be made by Landlord, with due diligence and at Tenants sole cost and expense, which shall be reimbursed to Landlord within thirty (30) days after Landlords demand therefor. Tenant shall not make any change, alteration, addition or substitution to the Building HVAC Systems. If Tenant requests any change, alteration, addition or substitution be made to the Building HVAC Systems, Tenant shall notify Landlord and, if Landlord approves the same (which approval may be withheld or denied in Landlords sole good-faith discretion), Landlord shall make such change, alteration, addition or substitution, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord as Additional Rent the cost and expense incurred or paid by Landlord to perform or make same, within thirty (30) days after Landlords demand therefor. Tenant shall keep or cause to be kept closed all windows in the Premises whenever the Heating Service or AC Service is being provided. In addition, Tenant agrees at all times to cooperate fully with Landlord and to abide by all reasonable, nondiscriminatory regulations and requirements which Landlord may prescribe (including closing blinds or shades) for the proper functioning and protection of the Building HVAC Systems. Tenants failure to keep blinds closed and shades drawn in compliance with Landlords regulations and requirements shall not constitute a default hereunder (unless failure to do so would constitute a breach of any Legal Requirements); however, Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant if the Building HVAC Systems fail to meet the specifications therefor set forth in the Lease, or otherwise fail to keep the Premises adequately cooled or heated, by reason of such failure.

(b) For the purposes of this Lease, Maximum Supplemental HVAC Capacity means 25 tons for each full floor portion of Premises (proportionately reduced for any partial floors included within the Premises); provided, however, Tenant shall have the right to reduce from time to time, within the twenty four (24) month period commencing on the Commencement Date, the number of tons constituting the Maximum Supplemental HVAC Capacity, by giving notice(s) to Landlord of such reduction(s) no later than the last day of such twenty four (24) month period. If Tenant reduces the number of tons constituting the Maximum Supplemental HVAC Capacity as provided herein, then, Tenant may request an increase in the number of tons constituting the Maximum Supplemental HVAC Capacity to the amounts set forth in the first sentence of this Section 17.05(b), and, if (i) Landlord has not allocated to any person the condenser water needed to so increase the Maximum Supplemental HVAC Capacity, (ii) Landlord has not committed itself to allow any person to use such condenser water, and (iii) Landlord does not then require and, in Landlords reasonable determination, Landlord is not likely to require such condenser water for any other tenant or occupant of the Building or for the operation of the Building, then the Maximum Supplemental HVAC Capacity shall be increased by the lesser of (A) amount so requested by Tenant, and (B) the maximum amount Landlord reasonably determines is available based on clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above. Further, if at any time after the date hereof, portions of the Premises that are part of the premises under this Lease on the date hereof are subject to a Takeback Sublease or are no longer a part of the premises demised under this Lease pursuant to the exercise of a Landlords Option, then from and after the date(s) that such portions of the Premises are no longer part of the premises demised under this Lease, the Maximum Supplemental HVAC Capacity shall, at Landlords election, be reduced by the amount set forth in Tenants A/S Notice and A/S Term Sheet, and at any time from and after such dates Landlord, at Tenants sole cost and expense, shall perform all work necessary to reduce the condenser water available to operate the Supplemental HVAC Units at a capacity not to exceed the revised Maximum Supplemental HVAC Capacity, and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord, within thirty (30) days after Landlords demand therefor, all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord to perform such work, including modifications to the Buildings condenser water system resulting from the change in the number of tons constituting the Maximum Supplemental HVAC Capacity or any change in the Premises.

Tenants obligation under the first sentence of this subsection (c) shall include, but not be limited to, the periodic cleaning and/or replacement of filters, replacement of fuses and belts, the calibration of thermostats and all startup and shut down maintenance of the Supplemental HVAC Units. Such maintenance and repair obligations shall be performed throughout the Term, on Tenants behalf, by a reputable air-conditioning service and maintenance company engaged by Tenant with Landlords prior written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. On the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease, Tenant shall surrender the Supplemental HVAC Units to Landlord in a safe condition and in compliance with all applicable Requirements. During the Term, Tenant shall, within twenty (20) days after Landlords request for the same, deliver to Landlord all maintenance and repair records in Tenants possession or control relating to the Supplemental HVAC Units.

The Supplemental HVAC Units shall be operated by Tenant at Tenants sole cost and expense. Tenant shall control the hours of operation of the Supplemental HVAC Units; however, Tenant, immediately upon Landlords request in the case of an emergency and upon prior reasonable (oral or written) notice in all other cases, shall stop service of the Supplemental HVAC Units when necessary, by reason of accident or emergency or when necessary to maintain, or make repairs to, the Building or any of the Buildings systems or equipment. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to minimize any inconvenience to Tenant in connection with such stoppage; provided, however, the foregoing shall not require Landlord to perform any such repairs or changes on an overtime or premium time basis (unless Tenant agrees to be responsible for the incremental costs of performing same on an overtime or premium time basis). Tenant shall operate the Supplemental HVAC Units in compliance with all applicable Requirements, including the New York State Energy Conservation Code, as the same may be from time to time amended.

Commencing on the Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay, as Additional Rent, together with each monthly installment of Base Rent, one-twelfth (1/12th) of the Annual Condenser Water Charge (as hereinafter defined), which first monthly installment shall be prorated on a per diem basis if the Commencement Date is not the first day of a calendar month. For the purposes of this Lease, Annual Condenser Water Charge shall mean $675 per ton of the Maximum Supplemental HVAC Capacity (as the Maximum Supplemental HVAC Capacity may be adjusted from time to time during the Term), which $675 shall be Adjusted by CPI from and after the date of this Lease. At Landlords option, Landlord may bill Tenant for the Annual Condenser Water Charge other than on a monthly basis, provided that Landlord may not so bill Tenant more frequently than monthly and not less frequently than annually.

All deliveries to and from the Premises that are of a size that require a cart, hand truck or other type of rolling or carrying mechanism, or which are reasonably determined by Landlord not to be appropriate for the passenger elevators, shall be made only through the Buildings loading dock and the Freight Elevators. In addition, all of construction personnel and materialmen performing work in, or delivering materials (including furniture and furnishings) to, the Premises on behalf of Tenant or any other Tenant Party, shall only use the Buildings loading dock and the Freight Elevators to access the Premises. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord has provided exclusive use to certain Building tenants to certain freight elevators in the Building and that Tenant shall only have use of the Freight Elevators, and may only use the Freight Elevators pursuant to the terms herein. Landlord shall maintain the Freight Elevators and loading dock area in a manner consistent with other First Class Office Buildings and shall keep such areas broom clean and maintain security in accordance with the Buildings security procedures.
72
(c) Tenant shall make all arrangements for, and pay all expenses incurred by Tenant or any other Tenant Party, in connection with, use of the Buildings loading dock and the Freight Elevators.

Landlord shall permit Tenant to make arrangements with providers approved by Landlord (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) to utilize the Telephony System. Promptly after receipt by Landlord of a written request by Tenant, Landlord shall take reasonable steps (at Tenants sole cost and expense) in order to allow such provider to provide service to Tenant at the Building including the execution by Landlord and such provider of a license agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Landlord pursuant to which Landlord (i) will allow such provider to (x) access portions of the Building reasonably designated by Landlord, and (y) have the dedicated use of a sleeve for use by such service provider at a point of entry to the Building reasonably designated by Landlord and (ii) subject to the limitations hereinafter provided, may charge such provider such license fees as Landlord reasonably requires in connection with the entering into of any such license agreement, provided that (xx) Landlord is generally requiring that license fees be paid by service providers for such services and (yy) such license fees are consistent with the fees charged by landlords of other First Class Office Buildings that charge such license fees.

76
18.09 Abatement. (a) Anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding if for any reason, including, without limitation, Unavoidable Delay (except as limited in this Section 18.09), if (A) Landlord fails to make any repair or to provide any utility or service (except cleaning) which, in either case, Landlord is expressly obligated to make or provide to the Premises pursuant to a provision of this Lease (such event being hereinafter referred to as a Services Abatement Event), and such Services Abatement Event renders untenantable (which shall include inaccessible) at least 5,000 RSF of the Premises (Landlord and Tenant hereby agreeing that the Premises, or the applicable portion thereof, shall be deemed untenantable if the Services Abatement Event reasonably prevents Tenant from using the affected portions of the Premises for Office Use, (ii) Landlord receives notice from Tenant of the Services Abatement Event and of the fact that Tenant is prevented from, and has actually ceased, so using at least 5,000 of the RSF of the Premises and of the specific portions of the Premises that Tenant is prevented from, and has actually ceased, so using (such notice being hereinafter referred to as the Untenantability Notice), (iii) for at least five (5) consecutive days after Landlords receipt of the Untenantability Notice (fourteen (14) consecutive days in the event such untenantability results from Unavoidable Delay) or at least ten (10) days (whether or not consecutive) in any forty-five (45) day period (or at least twenty (20) days (whether or not consecutive) in any sixty (60) day period in the event such untenantability results from Unavoidable Delay) after Landlords receipt of the Untenantability Notice, in any case arising out of the same Services Abatement Event (the day following the last day of the foregoing 5-day, 14-day, 10-day or 20-day period, as the case may be, being hereinafter called the Abatement Commencement Date), and, as a result of the Services Abatement Event, Tenant actually ceases using, and continues not to use, such specific portions of the Premises (provided that the entry by representatives of Tenant to the affected area that is the subject of an Untenantability Notice on a limited basis solely to retrieve files and documents or to maintain equipment in such affected portion or any unaffected portion of Premises shall not by itself be deemed to be reoccupying for the ordinary conduct of its business), (iv) the Services Abatement Event is not the result of any act or (where Tenant has a duty to act) omission of Tenant or of any other Tenant Party, and (v) no Event of Default then exists (other than an Event of Default substantially caused by such Services Abatement Event), then, as Tenants sole right and remedy, the rents payable by Tenant under this Lease shall be reduced as provided in subsection (b) below. The Untenantability Notice, to be effective, shall specify (in reasonable detail) the portion(s) of the Premises which is/are untenantable as a result of the Services Abatement Event; the manner and respects in which such portion is untenantable; and the steps or actions (to the extent known by Tenant) which Tenant believes are required to cure or correct same. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, if Tenant shall have no elevator access whatsoever, including no freight elevator access, to the Premises (or Landlord is utilizing freight elevator service as a substitute for passenger elevator service for more than a one (1) week period), and if all the other criteria for a Services Abatement Event are satisfied, then notwithstanding that (x) the Premises may be accessible via the stairs, and (y) that the Premises may be usable once ascended to via the stairs, such failure of elevator service, shall be deemed to constitute a Services Abatement Event.
(b) Provided that the conditions described in clauses (i) through (v) of subsection (a) above have been satisfied, during the period (the Abatement Period) commencing on the applicable Abatement Commencement Date and ending on the last day that the Premises (or the applicable portions thereof) is untenantable as result of the Services Abatement Event (such last day, the Abatement Expiration Date), the rents payable by Tenant under this Lease that are attributable to the Abatement Period shall be reduced by an amount (the Abatement Amount) equal to (i) the annual Base Rent, Tax Payment and Expense Payment, per RSF, payable during, or attributable to, the Abatement Period, divided by (ii) 365, and multiplied by (iii) the number of days during the Abatement Period, and multiplied further by (iv) the RSF of the portion of the Premises that is so untenantable (as such area may change from time to time). Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article to the contrary, the Abatement Period shall end with respect to the portion(s) of the Premises in question, and the Abatement Expiration Date shall be deemed to have occurred with respect to such portions, on the date that either Tenant or any other Tenant Party resumes using or occupying such portion(s) of the Premises for any reason (other than for inspection purposes), or on the date that the continuation of the untenantability results from any act or (where Tenant has a duty to act) omission of Tenant or any other Tenant Party. In addition, and notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 18.09 to the contrary, the Abatement Period shall end for all portions of the Premises, and the Abatement Expiration Date shall be deemed to have occurred for all portions of the Premises, on the date that an Event of Default has otherwise occurred, provided such Event of Default is not substantially caused by Services Abatement Event (the ending of the Abatement Period and the occurrence of the Abatement Expiration Date, being in addition to all of Landlords other rights and remedies in respect of such default).
77
(c) Notwithstanding anything contained in subsection (a) above to the contrary, if within ten (10) days after Tenant gives the Untenantability Notice to Landlord, Landlord notifies Tenant that Landlord disputes Tenants contention that the applicable portion of the Premises is untenantable, or that such untenantability resulted from a Services Abatement Event, or that Tenant is entitled to the abatements set forth in this Section, and such notice describes in reasonable detail the reasons for Landlords dispute, Tenant shall not be entitled to any reduction of the Base Rent, the Tax Payment or the Expense Payment until such time as Landlord and Tenant agree, in writing, on such reduction, or Tenant obtains a reduction decision of an from a court of competent jurisdiction (beyond any appeals) that Tenant is entitled to such reduction. Any dispute between Landlord and Tenant under this Section 18.09(c) shall be submitted to expedited arbitration in accordance with the provisions of Article 34 hereof.
(d) The rights and remedies of Tenant expressly set forth in this Section 18.09, shall be Tenants only rights and remedies in respect of a Services Abatement Event, and notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to the contrary, under no circumstances shall Tenant be entitled to consequential damages as a result of a Services Abatement Event. Subject to the foregoing and the other applicable provisions of this Lease, the rights and remedies of Tenant set forth in this Section shall not be deemed a waiver by Tenant of Landlords continued obligation to make the repair or to provide the service in question.
18.10 Fire Stairs. Subject to the provisions of this Lease, Tenant shall have the non-exclusive right to use the Buildings fire stairs for walking between its full floors in order to obtain access to the Premises. In using said stairs, Tenant shall comply with the terms of this Lease as well as any applicable Requirements.

Tenant shall have the right to accompany Landlord and its employees, agents and contractors at all times provided Tenant makes a representative reasonably available for such purpose. Landlord shall be allowed to take all materials into and upon the Premises that may be reasonably required for such repairs, changes, repainting or maintenance to the Premises (but shall not store more than the materials needed for the current days work in the Premises), without liability to Tenant. Landlord and/or Landlords employees, agents and contractors, as well as emergency personnel (such as, but not limited to, firemen, policemen and utility workers) shall also have the right to enter on and/or pass through the Premises, or any part thereof, at such times as such entry shall be required by circumstances of emergency affecting the Premises or the Building. In the event of an Emergency, if Tenant is not present in the Premises to open or permit Landlord and/or Landlords employees, agents and contractors and/or such emergency personnel, access or entry to or through the Premises, then Landlord and/or Landlords employees, agents and contractors and/or such emergency personnel, as the case may be, may enter the Premises whenever such access or entry is permitted, required or otherwise provided for under this Lease, by master key (if readily available) or forcibly, and such entry and access shall not constitute an actual or constructive eviction, impose any liability upon Landlord or Landlords employees, agents and contractors, or affect any of Tenants obligations under this Lease. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, for purposes of this Section 19.03, the term Premises shall include any other portion of the Building reserved for the exclusive use of Tenant, and Landlords and/or Landlords employees, agents and contractors right of access, entering and/or passing through for the purposes expressly set forth in this Section, shall include the right to actually do or perform same.

Tenant shall have the right to accompany the Landlord and its agents and prospective employees at all times, provided Tenant makes a representative reasonably available for such purpose.

Without limiting, reducing, restricting or otherwise adversely affecting Landlords rights under the preceding sentence, Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to minimize interference with Tenants use and occupancy of the Premises during the making of such changes or alterations, provided Landlord shall have no obligation to employ contractors or labor at overtime or other premium pay rates or to incur any other overtime costs or additional expenses whatsoever (unless Tenant agrees to be responsible for the incremental costs of performing same on an overtime or premium time basis).

Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant or to any Tenant Party arising out of any such work, obscuration, diversion or obstruction, or out of the erection and maintenance of temporary scaffolding, bridges and/or other structures or out of any noise resulting from such work or erection, nor shall any matter arising out of any of the foregoing be deemed a breach of Landlords covenant of quiet enjoyment.

Tenant acknowledges that neither Tenant, its employees or invitees shall be permitted to use the Sony Lobby for access to the Building.

84
ARTICLE 22
DESTRUCTION OR DAMAGE
22.01 Casualty. (a) If the Building or the Premises shall be partially damaged or partially destroyed by fire or other casualty and as a result thereof a portion of the Premises becomes untenantable or inaccessible, the Base Rent and the Additional Rent payable under Article 5 hereof shall be abated on a per RSF basis based on the RSF of that portion of the Premises as shall have been rendered untenantable as a result of such damage or destruction for the period, commencing on the date such portion of the Premises becomes untenantable or inaccessible and ending on the date next preceding the earlier of (i) the date on which the Required Landlord Restoration (as defined below) is Substantially Complete or on which that portion of the Premises otherwise becomes tenantable and accessible, and (ii) the date on which Tenant or any Tenant Party occupies such portion of the Premises for the conduct of its business. For purposes of this Section 22, the term untenantable shall mean, with respect to any portion of the Premises, that Tenant is not reasonably able to conduct its business in that portion of the Premises affected in substantially the same manner as was conducted in such space immediately prior to such fire or other casualty.
(b) If the Building or the Premises shall be totally (which shall be deemed to include substantially totally) damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty and as a result thereof all (or substantially all) of the Premises becomes untenantable or inaccessible, the Base Rent and the Additional Rent payable under Article 5 hereof shall be abated for the period commencing on the date such portion of the Premises become untenantable or inaccessible and ending on the date next preceding the earlier of (i) the date the Required Landlord Restoration is substantially complete or on which the Premises otherwise becomes tenantable and accessible (exclusive of any Tenants Work), and (ii) the date on which Tenant or any Tenant Party occupies the Premises for the conduct of its business; provided, however, that if the Required Landlord Restoration is substantially complete with respect to portions of the Premises or portions of the Premises otherwise become tenantable and accessible prior to the Required Landlord Restoration with respect to the entire Premises being substantially complete or the entire Premises otherwise becoming tenantable and accessible, then, provided it is commercially reasonable for Tenant to use or occupy such portions of the Premises for the performance of Tenants repair or restoration work or for the conduct of business prior to the repair or restoration of the entire Premises, the abatement of rent for such portions of the Premises shall end, on a per RSF basis based on the RSFs of such portions of the Premises, on the date that the Required Landlord Restoration is substantially complete with respect to that portion of the Premises or on which that portion of the Premises otherwise becomes so tenantable and accessible.
(c) Promptly after the date on which the Required Landlord Restoration is substantially complete. Tenant shall commence, and thereafter diligently proceed with, the repair, restoration and replacement of all Alterations (including Tenants Work) and Tenants Property.
85
22.02 Restoration. If any damage or destruction described in Section 22.01 above occurs, then, provided this Lease shall not have been terminated as in Section 22.03 below provided, Landlord shall repair or restore such damage or destruction with reasonable dispatch after notice to it of the damage or destruction; provided, however, that Landlord shall not be required to make (a) any repairs or restoration that are the obligation of Tenant or any other person to make (other than Landlords employees, agents or contractors), (b) repairs to items that are obsolete, or (c) repairs to portions of the Building where the failure to make such repairs will not materially adversely affect Tenants use of the Premises for the Permitted Uses, access to the Premises or the quality of the Building, and provided further that Landlord shall not be required to repair, replace or move any of Tenants Property nor to repair or restore any Tenants Work or other Alterations (such damage or destruction that Landlord is expressly obligated to repair or restore pursuant to this Section being herein referred to as the Required Landlord Restoration). In furtherance of the foregoing, for so long as there is a superior lease, Landlord shall not be obligated to make any repairs which are the obligation of any of the lessors under any superior lease to make, but, if this Lease shall not have been terminated as in Section 22.03 below provided, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such lessor to make any repairs which under such superior lease(s) are the obligation of such lessor(s) to make.
22.03 Termination Rights. (a) If the Building or the Premises shall be totally or substantially damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty, or if the Building shall be so damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty (whether or not the Premises are damaged or destroyed) as to require a reasonably estimated expenditure of more than twenty-five (25%) percent of the full insurable value of the Building immediately prior to the casualty, then in either such case Landlord may terminate this Lease by giving Tenant notice to such effect within one hundred twenty (120) days after the date of the casualty.
(b) In case of any damage or destruction to the Premises mentioned in this Section 22.03:
(i) Unless Landlord elects to terminate this Lease as provided in Section 22.03(a) hereof, within ninety (90) days after the date of such damage or destruction, Landlord shall give to Tenant a statement (the Contractors Statement) from a reputable, independent contractor, construction manager, architect or engineer, reasonably selected by Landlord, that sets forth such contractors, construction managers, architects or engineers good faith estimate as to when the repairs to the Premises will be substantially complete; and
(ii) If (A) such contractor, construction manager, architect or engineer estimates that the repairs to the Premises will be substantially complete more than twenty-four (24) months after the date of such damage or destruction or (B) the repairs or restoration that Landlord is obligated to make are not substantially completed within the greater of (x) twenty-four (24) months after the date of such damage or destruction or (y) the period of time originally estimated by such contractor, construction manager, architect or engineer (which period, in the case of either (x) or (y), shall be extended for up to four (4) months if Landlord is delayed in making such repairs by reason or an Unavoidable Delay (such period, as same may be so extended by up to an additional four (4) months, being hereinafter referred to as the Restoration Period)), then, Tenant, as Tenants sole right and remedy, may elect to terminate this Lease by giving notice of such termination to Landlord. For Tenants notice of termination to be effective, it must be given, in the case of clause (A), within thirty (30) days after the date Landlord gives to Tenant the Contractors Statement, or, in the case of clause (B), within thirty (30) days after the last day of the Restoration Period., TIME BEING OF THE ESSENCE in both cases. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Tenant fails to give Landlord such notice of termination in the manner and in the time period set forth above or if such damage or destruction was intentionally caused by the act or omission of Tenant or of any Tenant Party, then Tenants right to terminate this Lease shall be null and void, and of no further force or effect, and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, subject to the other provisions of this Lease. The Contractors Statement shall be without any representation or warranty on the part of, or recourse against, Landlord or the person or entity that actually gives such statement.
86
(c) If, in accordance with, and subject to, the provisions of this Section, either Landlord or Tenant give the other such notice of termination, the term of this Lease shall expire as fully and completely on the date which is thirty (30) days after the date on which Landlord or Tenant gives the other such notice of termination, as if such termination effective date were the Expiration Date, and on or prior to such termination effective date, Tenant shall quit, surrender and vacate the Premises in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Lease, without prejudice, however, to Landlords rights and remedies against Tenant under the provisions of this Lease in effect prior to such termination effective date, and any Base Rent or Additional Rent owing shall be paid up to such date (subject to any abatements of rent applicable under this Lease) and any payments of Base Rent or Additional Rent made by Tenant which were on account of any period subsequent to such date (less any amounts of other rents then owing to Landlord) shall be returned to Tenant.
22.04 No Damages. No damages, compensation or claim shall be payable by Landlord for inconvenience, loss of business or annoyance arising from any repair or restoration of any portion of the Premises or of the Building pursuant to this Article.
22.05 Cooperation. Each of Landlord and Tenant shall cooperate with each other as is reasonably required to enable each to collect all of the insurance proceeds (including rent insurance proceeds) from their respective insurance companies applicable to damage or destruction of the Premises or the Building by fire or other casualty.
22.06 Tenants Property, Alterations. Landlord will not carry insurance of any kind on Tenants Property, Alterations, Landlords Work or Tenants Work, and shall not be obligated to repair any damage thereto or replace the same. Tenant shall be obligated to carry insurance on Tenants Property, Alterations and Tenants Work as provided in Article 11 above, and shall be obligated to repair any damage thereto or replace the same as required under Section 22.01(c) above.
22.07 Express Provision to the Contrary. The provisions of this Article shall be considered an express agreement governing any case of damage or destruction of the Premises by fire or other casualty, and Section 227 of the Real Property Law of the State of New York, providing for such a contingency in the absence of an express agreement, and any other Requirement of like import, now or hereafter in force, shall have no application in such case.
ARTICLE 23
EMINENT DOMAIN
23.01 Total Taking. If the whole of the Building shall be lawfully taken by condemnation or in any other manner for any public or quasi-public use or purpose, this Lease and the term and estate hereby granted shall forthwith terminate as of the date of vesting of title in such taking (which date is hereinafter also referred to as the date of the taking), and the rents shall be prorated and adjusted as of such date.
87
23.02 Partial Taking. If only a part of the Building shall be so taken, this Lease shall be unaffected by such taking, except that Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease in the event of a partial taking of twenty-five (25%) percent (or more) of the RSF of the Premises if the remaining area of the Premises shall not be reasonably sufficient for Tenant to continue feasible operation of its business. Tenant shall give notice of such election to Landlord not later than sixty (60) days after (i) notice of such taking is given by Landlord to Tenant, or (ii) the date of such taking, whichever occurs sooner. Upon the giving of such notice by Tenant this Lease shall terminate on the date of such taking and the rents shall be prorated as of such termination date. Upon such partial taking and this Lease continuing in force as to any part of the Premises, the rents apportioned to the part taken shall be prorated and adjusted as of the date of taking and from such date the Base Rent for the Premises and Additional Rent payable pursuant to Article 5 shall be appropriately adjusted according to the RSF remaining.
23.03 Awards. Landlord shall be entitled to receive the entire award in any proceeding with respect to any taking provided for in this Article without deduction therefrom for any estate vested in Tenant by this Lease and Tenant shall receive no part of such award, except as hereinafter expressly provided in this Article. Tenant hereby expressly assigns to Landlord all of its right, title and interest in or to every such award. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Tenant may, at its sole cost and expense, make a claim with the condemning authority for Tenants moving expenses, the value of Tenants fixtures and Tenants Alterations which do not become part of the Building or property of Landlord, provided however that Landlords award is not thereby reduced or otherwise adversely affected.
23.04 Temporary Taking. If the temporary use or occupancy of all or any part of the Premises shall be lawfully taken by condemnation or in any other manner for any public or quasi-public use or purpose during the Term, Tenant shall be entitled, except as hereinafter set forth, to receive that portion of the award for such taking which represents compensation for the use and occupancy of the Premises and, if so awarded, for the taking of Tenants Property and for moving expenses, and Landlord shall be entitled to receive that portion which represents reimbursement for the cost of restoration of the Premises. This Lease shall be and remain unaffected by such taking and Tenant shall continue to be responsible for all of its obligations hereunder insofar as Tenants ability to perform such obligations are not affected by such taking and shall continue to pay in full the Base Rent and Additional Rent when due. If the period of temporary use or occupancy shall extend beyond the Expiration Date, that part of the award which represents compensation for the use or occupancy of the Premises (or a part thereof) shall be divided between Landlord and Tenant so that Tenant shall receive so much thereof as represents the period prior to the Expiration Date and Landlord shall receive so much thereof as represents the period subsequent to the Expiration Date.
23.05 Restoration. In the event of any taking of less than the whole of the Building which does not result in a termination of this Lease, or in the event of a taking for a temporary use or occupancy of all or any part of the Premises which does not extend beyond the Expiration Date, Landlord, at its expense, and to the extent any award or awards shall be sufficient for the purpose, shall proceed with reasonable diligence to repair, alter and restore (a) the remaining parts of the Building to substantially a Building Standard condition to the extent that the same may be feasible and so as to constitute a complete and tenantable Building and (b) the Premises to substantially the condition existing prior to the taking; provided, however, that Landlord shall not be required to repair, replace or move any of Tenants Property nor to repair or restore any Tenants Work or Alterations. In furtherance of the foregoing, for so long as there is a superior lease, Landlord shall not be obligated to make any repairs which are the obligation of any of the lessors under any superior lease to make, but Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such lessor to make any repairs which under such superior lease(s) are the obligation of such lessor(s) to make.
88
23.06 Abatement. If any part of the Premises is taken to effect compliance with any Requirement other than in the manner hereinabove provided in this Article, then (i) if such compliance is the obligation of Tenant under this Lease, Tenant shall not be entitled to any diminution or abatement of rent or other compensation from Landlord therefor, but (ii) if such compliance is the obligation of Landlord under this Lease, the Base Rent hereunder shall be reduced and Additional Rents under Article 5 shall be adjusted in the same manner as is provided in Section 23.02 according to the reduction in RSF of the Premises resulting from such taking.
ARTICLE 24
SURRENDER; HOLDOVER
24.01 Surrender. On the last day of the Term, or upon any earlier termination of this Lease, or upon any re-entry by Landlord upon the Premises pursuant to the applicable provisions of this Lease or as permitted pursuant to applicable law, Tenant shall quit and surrender the Premises to Landlord broom clean and in good order, condition and repair, except for ordinary wear and tear and damage by fire or other casualty; however, if Tenant would have had the obligation to repair or restore the damage due to fire or other casualty under Article 22 hereof, Tenant shall, if the claim has not yet been settled with Tenants insurer, assign its rights to the insurance proceeds covering the repair or restoration of prior to the Expiration Date or earlier termination date, or, if the claim has been settled, pay to Landlord all of the insurance proceeds therefor, and if Tenant failed to properly insure same, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount that Tenant would have received if the property had been properly insured in accordance with the Terms of the Lease. Tenant shall remove all of Tenants Property from the Premises and from the Building (except as otherwise expressly provided in this Lease) and shall repair all damage to the Premises and the Building caused by such removal.
24.02 Holdover. (a) If Tenant or any Tenant Party shall remain in possession or occupancy of any portion of the Premises, or otherwise hold over, after the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, and if Landlord shall then not proceed to remove Tenant from the Premises in the manner permitted by law (or shall not have given written notice to Tenant that Tenant must vacate the Premises) irrespective of whether or not Landlord accepts rent from Tenant for a period beyond the last day of the Term, the parties hereby agree that Tenants occupancy of the Premises after the expiration of the Term shall be under a month to month tenancy commencing on the first day after the expiration of the Term, which tenancy shall be upon all of the terms set forth in this Lease except Tenant shall pay on the first day of each month of the hold over period as Base Rent at a rate equal to 150% of the greater of (i) the Base Rent applicable during the last year of the Term (i.e., the year immediately prior to the holdover period) for the Premises, and (ii) the fair market rental value of the Premises for such month (as reasonably determined by Landlord), together with Tax Payment, Expense Payment and all items of additional rent due under the Lease. Further, Landlord shall not be required to perform any work, furnish any materials or make any repairs within the Premises during the holdover period. It is further stipulated and agreed that if Landlord shall, at any time after the expiration of the original Term or after the expiration of any term created thereafter, proceed to remove Tenant from the Premises as a holdover, the rent for the use and occupancy of the Premises during any holdover period shall be 150% of the greater of (x) the rents (including Base Rent, Tax Payment, Expense Payment and all other items of Additional Rent) payable by Tenant during the last year of the Term, and (y) the fair market rental value of the Premises for such month (as reasonably determined by Landlord). In addition to the foregoing, Landlord shall be entitled to recover from Tenant all costs, expenses, losses and damages arising from such holdover, including all reasonable attorneys fees and disbursements and court costs incurred or paid by Landlord.
89
(b) For the purposes of this subsection (b), the period commencing on the date succeeding the last day of the Term, without taking into account any month-to-month term created pursuant to subsection (a) above or otherwise, and ending on the date that Tenant and all Tenant Parties quit and surrender the entire Premises in the condition required pursuant to the applicable provisions of this Lease, is herein referred to as the Holdover Period. Notwithstanding anything contained in subsection (a) above to the contrary, the 150% percentage set forth in two places in said subsection (a) shall increase in both places to 200% from and after the thirty-first (31st) day of the Holdover Period.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, the acceptance of any rent paid by Tenant pursuant to subsection (a) above shall not preclude Landlord from commencing and prosecuting a holdover or summary eviction proceeding or from exercising any other right or remedy under this Lease, at law or in equity, and the preceding sentence shall be deemed to be an agreement expressly providing otherwise within the meaning of Section 232-c of the Real Property Law of the State of New York.
(d) All damages to Landlord by reason of holding over by Tenant (or by any Tenant Party) may be the subject of a separate action and need not be asserted by Landlord in any summary proceedings against Tenant. Tenant acknowledges that possession of the entire Premises must be surrendered to Landlord at the expiration or sooner termination of the Term. Tenant agrees to indemnify, defend and save Landlord harmless from and against any and all actions, proceedings, claims, deficiencies, judgments, suits, losses, obligations, penalties, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses (including court costs and reasonable legal fees and disbursements), resulting from a delay by Tenant in so surrendering the entire Premises, including, without limitation, any claims made by any succeeding tenant of all or any portion of the Premises based on Landlords inability or failure to deliver possession thereof to such succeeding tenant, except that Landlord shall not be entitled to make a claim for consequential damages under this Section 24.02 unless Tenant remains in possession of the Premises (or any portion thereof) for more than forty-five (45) days after the expiration of the Term (without taking into account any month-to-month tenancy that may be created under this Section 24.02).
ARTICLE 25
CONDITIONS OF LIMITATION
25.01 Bankruptcy Events. To the extent permitted by applicable Requirements, this Lease and the term and estate hereby granted are subject to the limitation that whenever Tenant shall make an assignment of all or substantially all of the property of Tenant for the benefit of creditors, or shall file a voluntary petition under any bankruptcy or insolvency law, or an involuntary petition alleging an act of bankruptcy or insolvency shall be filed against Tenant under any bankruptcy or insolvency law, or whenever a petition shall be filed against Tenant under the reorganization provisions of the United States Bankruptcy Act or under the provisions of any law of like import, or whenever a petition shall be filed by Tenant under the arrangement provisions of the United States Bankruptcy Act or under the provisions of any law of like import, or whenever a permanent receiver of Tenant or of or for the property of Tenant shall be appointed (each of such events, a Bankruptcy Event), then, Landlord, (a) at any time after receipt of notice of the occurrence of any Bankruptcy Event, or (b) if such Bankruptcy Event occurs without the acquiescence of Tenant, at any time after the event continues unstayed for ninety (90) days, Landlord may give Tenant a notice of intention to end the Term at the expiration of fifteen (15) Business Days from the date of service of such notice of intention, and upon the expiration of said fifteen (15) Business Day period this Lease and the term and estate hereby granted, whether or not the Term shall theretofore have commenced, shall terminate with the same effect as if that day were the Expiration Date, but Tenant shall remain liable for damages as provided in Article 27.
90
25.02 Defaults. This Lease and the term and estate hereby granted are subject to the further limitation that:
(a) if there is a failure to pay when due any Base Rent, Additional Rent or other payment payable by Tenant pursuant to any provision of this Lease, and the payment in question is not paid in full within five (5) Business Days after Tenant receives written notice specifying such default; or
(b) if there is a failure to observe, perform or comply with any term, covenant or condition contained in Section 7.04, Section 9.03(b), or Article 33 of this Lease on Tenants part to observe, perform or comply with, whether by action or inaction, and such default continues and is not cured in full by Tenant within fifteen (15) days after Tenant receives written notice specifying such default; or

(d) if there is a failure to observe, perform or comply with any term, covenant or condition contained in Article 2 of this Lease on Tenants part to observe, perform or comply with, whether by action or inaction, and such default continues and is not cured in full by Tenant within five (5) Business Days after Tenant is given a notice specifying such default; or
(e) if Tenant fails to provide or keep in force the insurance required by this Lease, at the times and for the durations specified in this Lease; or
(f) if any event shall occur or any contingency shall arise whereby this Lease or the estate hereby granted or the unexpired balance of the Term would, by operation of law or otherwise, devolve upon or pass to any person other than Tenant, except as expressly permitted by Article 9; or
(g) if the Premises shall be abandoned; or
91
(h) (i) if there is a failure to observe, perform or comply with any term, covenant or condition contained in this Lease on Tenants part to observe, perform or comply with (other than those terms, covenants and conditions contained in the provisions of this Lease set forth in subsections (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) above, and excluding those events described in subsections (f) and (g)), whether by action or inaction, and such default continues and is not cured in full by Tenant within thirty (30) days after Tenant receives written notice specifying such default, or (ii) in the case of a default which cannot with due diligence and using best efforts be cured within a period of thirty (30) days, where the continuance of such default for more than thirty (30) days will not (A) subject Landlord to the imminent or apparent (as opposed to remote) risk of civil liability or the risk of criminal liability, (B) subject the Real Property or any part thereof to being condemned or vacated, or (C) subject the Real Property or any part thereof to any lien or encumbrance or subject the certificate of occupancy for the Building to suspension or revocation or threatened suspension or revocation, if Tenant shall not (x) within thirty (30) days after Tenant is given a written notice specifying such default, give Landlord written notice of Tenants intention to duly institute all steps necessary to cure such default (which notice shall include a reasonably detailed description of such steps), (y) duly institute within said thirty (30) day period, and thereafter diligently prosecute to completion, using Tenants commercially reasonable efforts, all steps necessary to cure such default, and/or (z) complete such cure within such time after the date of the giving of such notice to Tenant as should have been necessary to complete such cure had Tenant so duly instituted such steps and thereafter diligently prosecuted to completion such cure using its best efforts and in any event within sixty (60) days after receipt of Landlords written notice of default; or
(i) if there is a default under any term, covenant or condition on Tenants or any Related Entitys part to observe, perform or comply with under any other lease or occupancy agreement in the Building to which Tenant or a Related Entity is a party (either directly or by assignment), and such default is not cured in full after the giving of any required notice and after the expiration of any applicable cure period,
then in any of said cases set forth in the foregoing subsections (a), (b), (c) (d), (e), (f), (g), (h) and (i), or upon the occurrence of any other Event of Default, Landlord may give to Tenant a notice of intention to end the Term, and on the fifth (5th) day after the date on which Tenant receives such written notice, this Lease and the term and estate hereby granted, whether or not the Term shall theretofore have commenced, shall terminate with the same effect as if such fifth (5th) day were the Expiration Date, but Tenant shall remain liable for damages as provided in Article 27.
25.03 Unused Premises. If, at any time after the Rent Commencement Date, Tenant (and all permitted subtenants or occupants thereof, if any) do not operate, or cause to be operated, in substantially all of the Premises a business then permitted to be operated in the Premises pursuant to the applicable provisions of this Lease for more than thirty (30) days (such portion of the Premises in which Tenant is not operating a business permitted to be operated in such space being hereinafter referred to as the Unused Premises), Tenant shall secure and protect such Unused Premises, regardless of whether the Premises have been vacated in whole or in part, all at Tenants sole cost and expense.
ARTICLE 26
RE-ENTRY BY LANDLORD
26.01 Re-Entry. If Tenant shall default in the payment of any installment of Base Rent, or of any Additional Rent, on any date upon which the same ought to be paid, and if such default shall continue for five (5) Business Days after Tenant receives written notice specifying such default, or if this Lease shall expire as in Article 25 provided, Landlord or Landlords agents and employees may immediately or at any time thereafter re-enter 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, without being liable to indictment, prosecution or damages therefor, and may repossess the same, and may remove any persons therefrom, to the end that Landlord may have, hold and enjoy the Premises again as and of its first estate and interest therein. The word re-enter, as herein used, is not restricted to its technical legal meaning. In the event of any termination of this Lease under the provisions of Article 25 or if Landlord shall re-enter the Premises under the provisions of this Article or in the event of the termination of this Lease, or of re-entry, by or under any summary dispossess or other proceeding or action or any provision of law by reason of default hereunder on the part of Tenant, Tenant shall thereupon pay to Landlord the Base Rent and Additional Rent payable by Tenant to Landlord up to the time of such termination of this Lease, or of such recovery of possession of the Premises by Landlord, as the case may be, and shall also pay to Landlord damages as provided in Article 27.
92
26.02 Injunction. In the event of a default or threatened default by Tenant or any Tenant Party of any of Tenants obligations under this Lease, Landlord shall also have the right to seek equitable relief, including an injunction. The special remedies to which Landlord may resort hereunder are cumulative and are not intended to be exclusive of any other remedies or means of redress to which Landlord may lawfully be entitled at any time and Landlord may invoke any remedy allowed at law or in equity as if specific remedies were not provided for herein.
26.03 Collected Sums. If this Lease shall terminate under the provisions of Article 25, or if Landlord shall re-enter the Premises under the provisions of this Article, or in the event of the termination of this Lease, or of re-entry, by or under any summary dispossess or other proceeding or action or any provision of law by reason of default hereunder on the part of Tenant, Landlord shall be entitled to retain all moneys, if any, paid by Tenant to Landlord, whether as advance rent, security or otherwise, but such moneys shall be credited by Landlord against any Base Rent or Additional Rent due from Tenant at the time of such termination or re-entry or, at Landlords option, against any damages payable by Tenant under Article 27 or pursuant to law.
ARTICLE 27
DAMAGES
27.01 Damages. If this Lease is terminated under the provisions of Article 25, or if Landlord shall re-enter the Premises under the provisions of Article 26, or in the event of the termination of this Lease, or of re-entry, by or under any summary dispossess or other proceeding or action or any provision of law by reason of default hereunder on the part of Tenant, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as damages, all amounts then owed by Tenant, plus the expenses actually incurred or paid by Landlord in terminating this Lease or in re-entering the Premises and in securing possession thereof, plus the expenses actually incurred or paid by Landlord to relet the Premises or portions thereof, including altering and preparing the Premises (or such portions) for new tenants, brokers commissions, and all other expenses, plus, at the election of Landlord, either:
93
(a) sums equal to the Base Rent and the Additional Rent payable hereunder which would have been payable by Tenant had this Lease not so terminated, or had Landlord not so re-entered the Premises, payable upon the due dates therefor specified herein following such termination or such re-entry and until the Expiration Date, provided, however, that if Landlord shall relet the Premises during said period, Landlord shall credit Tenant with the net rents received by Landlord from such reletting, such net rents to be determined by first deducting from the gross rents as and when received by Landlord from such reletting the damages described in the introductory sentence of this Section 27.01; it being understood that any such reletting may be for a period shorter or longer than the remaining Term; but in no event shall Tenant be entitled to receive any excess of such net rents over the sums payable by Tenant to Landlord hereunder, nor shall Tenant be entitled in any suit for the collection of damages pursuant to this subsection to a credit in respect of any net rents from a reletting, except to the extent that such net rents are actually received by Landlord (the amount of such Base Rent and Additional Rent that would have been so payable, less such credit, being hereinafter referred to as the Deficiency). If the Premises or any part thereof should be relet in combination with other space, then proper apportionment on a square foot basis (for equivalent space) shall be made of the rent received from such reletting and of the expenses of reletting. If the Premises or any part thereof be relet by Landlord for the unexpired portion of the Term, or any part thereof, before presentation of proof of such damages to any court, commission or tribunal, the amount of rent reserved upon such reletting shall, prima facie, be the fair and reasonable rental value for the Premises, or part thereof, so relet during the term of the reletting; or
(b) whether or not Landlord shall have collected any monthly Deficiency as aforesaid, a sum which at the time of such termination of this Lease or at the time of any such re-entry by Landlord, as the case may be, represents the then value of the excess, if any, discounted to present value at the Prime Rate in effect at that time, of:
(i) the aggregate of the Base Rent and the Additional Rent payable hereunder which would have been payable by Tenant (conclusively presuming the Additional Rent to be the same as was payable for the year immediately preceding such termination) for the period commencing with such earlier termination of this Lease or the date of any such re-entry, as the case may be, and ending with the Expiration Date, had this Lease not so terminated or had Landlord not so re-entered the Premises; over
(ii) the aggregate fair market rental value of the Premises for the same period, less
(iii) the aggregate amount of Deficiencies theretofore collected by Landlord pursuant to the provisions of subsection (a) above for the same period.
27.02 Suits for Recovery. Suit or suits for the recovery of such damages, or any installments thereof, may be brought by Landlord from time to time at its election, and nothing contained herein shall be deemed to require Landlord to postpone suit until the date when the Term would have expired if it had not been so terminated under the provisions of Article 25, or under any provision of law, or had Landlord not re-entered the Premises. Nothing herein contained shall be construed to limit or preclude recovery by Landlord against Tenant of any sums or damages to which, in addition to the damages particularly provided above, Landlord may lawfully be entitled by reason of any default hereunder on the part of Tenant. Nothing herein contained shall be construed to limit or prejudice the right of Landlord to prove for and obtain as damages by reason of the termination of this Lease or re-entry on the Premises for the default of Tenant under this Lease, an amount equal to the maximum allowed by any statute or rule of law in effect at the time when, and governing the proceedings in which, such damages are to be proved whether or not such amount be greater, equal to, or less than any of the sums referred to in Section 27.01.
94
ARTICLE 28
WAIVER
28.01 Waiver of Redemption. Tenant, for Tenant, and on behalf of any and all persons claiming through or under 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 Requirement, to redeem the Premises or to have a continuance of this Lease for the term hereby demised after being dispossessed or ejected therefrom by process of law or under the terms of this Lease or after the termination of this Lease as herein provided.
28.02 Waiver of Tenant Credits. In the event that Tenant is in arrears in payment of Base Rent or Additional Rent hereunder (after being given notice of default), Tenant waives Tenants right, if any, to designate the items against which any payments made by Tenant are to be credited, and Tenant agrees that Landlord may apply any payments made by Tenant to any items of rent then owed to Landlord under this Lease as Landlord sees fit, irrespective of and notwithstanding any designation or request by Tenant as to the items against which any such payments shall be credited.
28.03 Waiver of Trial by Jury. LANDLORD AND TENANT HEREBY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM BROUGHT BY EITHER AGAINST THE OTHER ON ANY MATTER WHATSOEVER ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THIS LEASE, THE RELATIONSHIP OF LANDLORD AND TENANT, TENANTS USE OR OCCUPANCY OF THE PREMISES, INCLUDING ANY CLAIM OF INJURY OR DAMAGE, OR ANY EMERGENCY OR OTHER STATUTORY REMEDY WITH RESPECT THERETO.
28.04 Provisions Regarding Services. The provisions of Articles 17 and 18 shall be considered expressed agreements governing the services to be furnished by Landlord, and Tenant agrees that any Requirements, now or hereafter in force, shall have no application in connection with any enlargement of Landlords obligations with respect to such services, except to the extent the same are reimbursable Operating Expenses pursuant to Article 5 above. The foregoing provisions of this Section shall not affect Landlords express obligations under Articles 10 and 15 hereof.
28.05 Conditions of Limitation. If, at any time during the Term, any Requirement shall have the effect of limiting, for any period of time, the amount of the rents payable by Tenant, or receivable by Landlord, under this Lease, and the maximum rents so permitted to be paid by Tenant, or received by Landlord, hereunder shall be less than the rents herein reserved, then:
(a) throughout the period of limitation, Tenant shall remain liable for the maximum amount of rents that is lawfully payable; and
95
(b) if and when the period of limitation ends, the Requirement imposing such limitation is repealed, or such limitation is restrained or rendered unenforceable by any order or ruling of a court of appropriate jurisdiction:
(i) to the extent that the same is not prohibited by any Requirement, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, on demand, all amounts that would have been due from Tenant to Landlord during the period of limitation, but that were not paid because of the Requirements; and
(ii) thereafter, Tenant shall pay to Landlord all of the rents reserved under this Lease, all of which shall be calculated as if there had been no intervening period of limitation.
ARTICLE 29
NO OTHER WAIVERS OR MODIFICATIONS
29.01 No General Waivers. The failure of either party to insist in any one or more instances upon the strict performance of any one or more of the obligations of this Lease, or to exercise any election herein contained, shall not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment for the future of the performance of such one or more obligations of this Lease or of the right to exercise such election, but the same shall continue and remain in full force and effect with respect to any subsequent default, act or omission. No executory agreement hereafter made between Landlord and Tenant shall be effective to change, modify, waive, release, discharge, terminate or effect an abandonment of this Lease, in whole or in part, unless such executory agreement is in writing, refers expressly to this Lease and is signed by the party against whom enforcement of the change, modification, waiver, release, discharge or termination or effectuation of the abandonment is sought.
29.02 No Specific Waivers. The following specific provisions of this Section shall not be deemed to limit the generality of any of the foregoing provisions of this Article:
(a) no agreement to accept a surrender of all or any part of the Premises shall be valid unless in writing and signed by Landlord and Tenant. The delivery of keys to an employee of Landlord or of its agent shall not operate as a termination of this Lease or a surrender of the Premises. If Tenant shall at any time request Landlord to sublet the Premises for Tenants account, Landlord or its agent is authorized to receive said keys for such purposes without releasing Tenant from any of its obligations under this Lease, and Tenant hereby releases Landlord from any liability for loss or damage to any of Tenants property in connection with such subletting;
(b) the receipt by Landlord of rent with knowledge of a default of any of Tenants obligations of this Lease shall not be deemed a waiver of such default;
(c) no payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount than the correct Base Rent or Additional Rent due hereunder shall be deemed to be other than a payment on account, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlords right to recover the balance or pursue any other remedy in this Lease or at law provided.
ARTICLE 30
CURING TENANTS DEFAULTS, ADDITIONAL RENT
30.01 Late Charges. (a) If Tenant shall default in the performance of any of Tenants obligations under this Lease, Landlord, without thereby waiving such default, may (but shall not be obligated to) perform the same for the account and at the expense of Tenant, (1) without notice, in the case where the Term has ended, (2) after oral notice as is reasonable under the circumstances in the case of an emergency, and (3) in any other case, only if such default continues after the expiration of (i) five (5) Business Days from the date Tenant receives notice of Landlords intention so to do, or (ii) the applicable grace period provided in in this Lease for cure of such default, whichever occurs later. To the extent Landlord performs any such obligation for the account of Tenant, Tenant shall not be deemed in default of the underlying obligation, but Tenant shall remain obligated and liable to Landlord for the cost of such performance, as provided in this Article.
96
(b) If Tenant shall fail to pay in full any Base Rent or Additional Rent within ten (10) Business Days after the same is due under this Lease (without taking into account any cure period that may be applicable thereto), then Tenant shall promptly pay to Landlord as Additional Rent, a late charge equal to three percent (3%) percent of amount of the payment that is not paid when so first due (the Late Charge). In addition, if Tenant shall fail to pay in full any Base Rent or Additional Rent within ten (10) Business Days after the same is due under this Lease (without taking into account any cure period that may be applicable thereto), such payments shall accrue interest at the Interest Rate until paid in full. Nothing herein contained shall be intended to violate any applicable Requirement and in all instances all such late charges and rates of interest shall be automatically reduced to any maximum applicable legal charge or rate. The provisions of this Section are in addition to all other rights and remedies available to Landlord for nonpayment of Base Rent or Additional Rent.
(c) If Tenant shall make any payments due under this Lease by check, and such check shall be returned for insufficient funds or uncollected funds, or the account being closed, then Landlord shall not be obligated to accept any payment from or on behalf of Tenant other than by unendorsed certified check or official bank check. If payment made by Tenant to Landlord shall be returned for any of the above reasons, then the payment in question shall be deemed not to have been made by Tenant, and, in addition to all of Landlords other rights and remedies under this Lease, including under subsection (b) above and Article 25 hereof, there shall be an additional charge to Tenant of two hundred fifty dollars ($250.00) which shall be immediately due and payable by Tenant upon the giving of the demand to Tenant.
30.02 Landlord Expenses. Bills for any expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with any such performance by it for the account of Tenant, and bills for all costs, expenses and disbursements of every kind and nature whatsoever, including reasonable counsel fees, involved in collecting or endeavoring to collect the Base Rent or Additional Rent or any part thereof (in the case where Tenant is in default of such obligation) or (in the case where Tenant is in default of any of its obligations under this Lease) enforcing or endeavoring to enforce any rights against Tenant, under or in connection with this Lease, or pursuant to law, including any such cost, expense and disbursement involved in instituting and prosecuting summary proceedings, as well as bills for any property, material, labor or services provided, furnished, or rendered, by Landlord or at its instance to Tenant, may be sent by Landlord to Tenant monthly, or immediately, at Landlords option, and, shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms of such bills, but in no event sooner than thirty (30) days after Tenant is given such bill.
97

ARTICLE 40
SECURITY DEPOSIT
40.01 Security Deposit. Tenant has deposited with Landlord the Required Security Amount (as hereinafter defined) as security for the full and faithful performance and observance by Tenant of Tenants covenants and obligations under this Lease. If Tenant defaults in the full and prompt payment and performance of any of Tenants covenants and obligations under this Lease, including, but not limited to, the payment of Base Rent and Additional Rent, Landlord may, but shall not be required to, use, apply or retain the whole or any part of the security so deposited and the interest accrued thereon, if any, to the extent required for the payment of any Base Rent and Additional Rent or any other sums as to which Tenant is in default or for any sum which Landlord may expend or may be required to expend by reason of Tenants default in respect of any of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease, including, but not limited to, any damages or deficiency in the reletting of the Premises, whether such damages or deficiency accrue before or after summary proceedings or other re-entry by Landlord. If Landlord shall so use, apply or retain the whole or any part of the security or the interest accrued thereon, if any, Tenant shall upon within five (5) Business Days after receipt of written demand deposit with Landlord a sum equal to the amount so used, applied or retained, as security as aforesaid failing which Landlord shall have the same rights and remedies as for the non-payment of Base Rent beyond the applicable grace period. If Tenant shall fully and faithfully comply with all of Tenants covenants and obligations under this Lease, the security or any balance thereof, to which Tenant is entitled, shall be returned or paid over to Tenant within thirty (30) days after the date fixed as the end of this Lease and after delivery to Landlord of entire possession of the Premises. In the event of any sale, transfer or leasing of Landlords interest in the Building whether or not in connection with a sale, transfer or leasing of the Land to a vendee, transferee or lessee, Landlord shall transfer the unapplied part of the security and the interest thereon, if any, to which Tenant is entitled, to the vendee, transferee or lessee and, provided that the security deposit has been transferred, Landlord shall thereupon be released by Tenant from all liability for the return or payment thereof, and Tenant shall look solely to the new landlord for the return or payment of the same. The provisions of the preceding sentence shall apply to every subsequent sale, transfer or leasing of the Building, and any successor of Landlord may, upon a sale, transfer, leasing or other cessation of the interest of such successors in the Building, whether in whole or in part, pay over any unapplied part of said security to any vendee, transferee or lessee of the Building and shall thereupon be relieved of all liability with respect thereto. Except in connection with a permitted assignment of this Lease, Tenant shall not assign or encumber or attempt to assign or encumber the monies deposited herein as security or any interest thereon to which Tenant is entitled, and neither Landlord nor its successors or assigns shall be bound by any such assignment, encumbrance, attempted assignment or attempted encumbrance.

105
40.02 Security Deposit Procedures. (a) Unless Landlord agrees that the security deposit provided for in Section 40.01 hereof may be held in cash form, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord and, shall, except as otherwise provided herein, maintain in effect at all times during the term hereof, an irrevocable letter of credit in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit I annexed hereto in the amount of the security required pursuant to this Lease issued by a commercial bank which is a member of The Clearing House Payments Company L.L.C. with offices for banking purposes in the City of New York and having a net worth of not less than Three Billion and 00/100 ($3,000,000,000.00) Dollars. Such letter of credit shall have an expiration date no earlier than the first anniversary of the date of issuance thereof and shall be automatically renewed from year to year unless terminated by the issuer thereof by notice to Landlord given not less than forty-five (45) days prior to the expiration thereof. Except as otherwise provided herein, Tenant shall, throughout the term of this Lease deliver to Landlord, in the event of the termination of any such letter of credit, replacement letters of credit in lieu thereof (each such letter of credit and such extensions or replacements thereof, as the case may be, is hereinafter referred to as a Security Letter) no later than forty-five (45) days prior to the expiration date of the preceding Security Letter. The term of each such Security Letter shall be not less than one year and shall be automatically renewable from year to year as aforesaid. If Tenant shall fail to obtain any replacement of a Security Letter within the time limits set forth in this Section 40.02(a), Landlord may draw down the full amount of the existing Security Letter and retain the same as security hereunder.
(b) In the event Tenant defaults in respect to any of the terms, provisions, covenants and conditions of this Lease, including, but not limited to, the payment of rent and additional rent, Landlord may use, apply or retain the whole or any part of the security so deposited to the extent required for the payment of any Base Rent and Additional Rent or any other sum as to which Tenant is in default or for any sum which Landlord may expend or may be required to expend by reason of Tenants default in respect of any of the terms, provisions, covenants, and conditions of this Lease, including but not limited to, any damages or deficiency accrued before or after summary proceedings or other re-entry by Landlord.
(c) In the event that Tenant defaults in respect of any of the terms, provisions, covenants and conditions of the Lease and Landlord utilizes all or any part of the security represented by the Security Letter but does not terminate this Lease as provided in Article 25 hereof, Landlord may, in addition to exercising its rights as provided in Section 40.02(b), retain the unapplied and unused balance of the principal amount of the Security Letter as security for the faithful performance and observance by Tenant thereafter of the terms, provisions, and conditions of this Lease, and may use, apply, or retain the whole or any part of said balance to the extent required for payment of Base Rent, Additional Rent, or any other sum as to which Tenant is in default or for any sum which Landlord may expend or be required to expend by reason of Tenants default in respect of any of the terms, covenants, and conditions of this Lease. In the event Landlord applies or retains any portion or all of the security delivered hereunder, Tenant shall forthwith restore the amount so applied or retained so that at all times the amount deposited shall be not less than the security required by Section 40.01.
106
(d) In the event that Tenant shall fully and faithfully comply with all of the terms, provisions, covenants and conditions of this Lease, the security shall be returned to Tenant within thirty (30) days after the date fixed as the end of the Lease and after delivery of entire possession of the Premises to Landlord. In the event of a sale of the Land and Building or leasing of the Building, Landlord shall have the right to transfer any interest it may have in the Security Letter to the vendee or lessee and Landlord shall thereupon be released by Tenant from all liability for the return of such Security Letter, provided such vendee or lessee assumes any responsibilities of Landlord with respect to such Security Letter, and Tenant agrees to look solely to the new landlord for the return of said Security Letter; and it is agreed that the provisions hereof shall apply to every transfer or assignment made of the Security Letter to a new landlord. Tenant further covenants that it will not assign or encumber or attempt to assign or encumber the monies deposited herein as security and that neither Landlord nor its successors or assigns shall be bound by any such assignment, encumbrance, attempted assignment or attempted encumbrance. In the event of a sale of the Building Landlord shall have the right to require Tenant to deliver a replacement Security Letter naming the new landlord as beneficiary and, if Tenant shall fail to timely deliver the same, to draw down the existing Security Letter and retain the proceeds as security hereunder until a replacement Security Letter is delivered. If a Bankruptcy Event occurs, Landlord shall have the right, exercisable by a sight draft, to immediately receive all monies represented by the Security Letter.
(e) In the event that at any time during the term of this Lease, Landlord, in Landlord's reasonable opinion, believes (a) that the net worth of the issuing bank of any Security Letter shall be less than the minimum amount specified in Section 40.02(a) hereof, or (b) that circumstances have occurred indicating that the issuing bank may be incapable of, unable to, or prohibited from honoring the then existing Security Letter (the "Existing Security Letter") in accordance with the terms thereof, then, upon the happening of either of the foregoing, Landlord may send Notice to Tenant (hereinafter referred to as the "Replacement Notice") requiring Tenant within forty-five (45) days to replace the Existing Security Letter with a new Security Letter (hereinafter referred to as the "Replacement Security Letter") from an issuing bank meeting the qualifications described in Section 40.02(a) hereof. Upon receipt of a Replacement Security Letter meeting the qualifications of Section 40.02(a) hereof, Landlord shall forthwith return the Existing Security Letter to Tenant. In the event that (i) a Replacement Security Letter meeting the qualifications of Section 40.02(a) hereof is not received by Landlord within the time specified, or (ii) Landlord reasonably believes an emergency exists requiring immediate drawdown, then in either event, the Existing Security Letter may be presented for payment by Landlord and the proceeds thereof shall be held by Landlord in accordance with this Article 40, subject, however, to Tenant's obligation to replace such cash security with a new Security Letter meeting the qualifications of Section 40.02(a) hereof.
107
40.03 As used herein the term Required Security Amount shall mean a sum equal to eight (8) months of the then payable monthly Base Rent for the Initial Premises (i.e., (x) for the period commencing on the date of this Lease and ending on the day immediately preceding the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Rent Commencement Date, $8,626,480.00, and (y) for the balance of the Term commencing on the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Rent Commencement Date, $9,641,360.00). Tenant shall deliver to Landlord an amended Security Letter reflecting such increase on or before the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Rent Commencement Date (failure to do which shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder) and shall also notify Landlord at least sixty (60) days prior to the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Rent Commencement Date confirming that such amended Security Letter will be delivered. Provided that Tenant has not been in default (beyond all notice cure and grace periods) under the terms and conditions of this Lease during the 12-month period preceding the date (the Reduction Date) which is thirty (30) months following the Rent Commencement Date, and provided that Tenant is not in default (beyond all notice cure and grace periods) under the terms and conditions of this Lease as of the Rent Reduction Date, then on the Rent Reduction Date, the Required Security Amount shall be reduced to an amount equal to six (6) months of the then payable monthly Base Rent for the initial Premises (i.e., (x) for the period commencing on the Reduction Date and ending on the day immediately preceding the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Rent Commencement Date, $6,469,860.00, and (y) for the balance of the Term commencing on the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Rent Commencement Date, $7,231,020.00). Any reduction of the Required Security Amount to which Tenant is entitled hereunder shall be effected by an amendment to the then existing Security Letter or issuance of a replacement Security Letter, and Landlord and Tenant shall reasonably cooperate with one another regarding the issuance of same.

(b) the annual Base Rent payable by Tenant during the Extension Term shall be, subject to adjustment as otherwise in this Lease provided, an amount equal to the greater of (i) the Base Rent payable hereunder for the last year of the initial Term, or (ii) 100% of the fair market rental value of the Premises, to be determined as provided in Sections 41.05 and 41.06 hereof and to be calculated as of the Extension Term Commencement Date, based on and taking into consideration all then relevant factors (the amount of said fair market rental value is herein referred to as the FMV Amount).
41.05 FMV Determination. The initial determination of the FMV Amount shall be made by Landlord. Landlord shall give notice (a Rent Notice) to Tenant of the FMV Amount determined by Landlord on or before the date which is fifteen (15) months prior to the Extension Term Commencement Date. The FMV Amount so determined by Landlord shall be deemed conclusive and binding upon Tenant unless on or before the date (the Determination Date) which is thirty (30) days after Landlord gives to Tenant the Rent Notice either (a) Tenant gives to Landlord notice (the FMV Dispute Notice) that Tenant disputes the FMV Amount so determined by Landlord, which FMV Dispute Notice may, but shall not be required to, set forth Tenants determination of the FMV Amount, or (b) Tenant fails to respond to the Rent Notice. If on or before the Determination Date Tenant gives to Landlord a FMV Dispute Notice or fails to respond to the Rent Notice, then Tenant shall be deemed to have disputed Landlords determination of the FMV Amount, whereupon Landlord and Tenant shall have thirty (30) days after the Determination Date to negotiate, execute and deliver a written agreement (an FMV Agreement) setting forth the Base Rent for the Extension Term. If Landlord and Tenant fail to execute and deliver an FMV Agreement within thirty (30) days after the Determination Date, the FMV Amount shall be determined by arbitration pursuant to Section 41.06 below.
109
41.06 Arbitration. Unless, by the Determination Date, Tenant agrees, in writing, with Landlords determination of the FMV Amount, or within thirty (30) days after the Determination Date, Landlord and Tenant execute an FMV Agreement, the FMV Amount for the Extension Term shall be determined by arbitration as follows:
(a) Landlord and Tenant shall each appoint an arbitrator by written notice given to the other party hereto not later than sixty (60) days after the Determination Date. If either Landlord or Tenant fail to appoint an arbitrator within such period of time and thereafter fail to do so by written notice given within a period of five (5) days after notice by the other party requesting the appointment of such arbitrator, then such arbitrator shall be appointed by the American Arbitration Association or its successor (the branch office of which is located in or closest to the City and State of New York), upon request of either Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be;
(b) The arbitrators will submit their determinations of fair market rental value to both parties within thirty (30) days after their selection. If the difference between the two (2) determinations is two percent (2%) or less of the higher appraisal, then the average between the two determinations will be the FMV Amount.
(c) In the event that the arbitrators determination is more than 2% apart, they shall appoint a third (3rd) arbitrator by written notice given to both Landlord and Tenant, and, if they fail to do so by written notice given within thirty (30) days after their appointment, such third (3rd) arbitrator shall be appointed as above provided for the appointment of an arbitrator in the event either party fails to do so;
(d) All of such arbitrators shall be New York State licensed real estate brokers having not less than ten (10) years experience in representing owners or tenants in commercial leasing transactions in respect of large first-class office use buildings in Manhattan; and
(e) If a third (3rd) arbitrator is appointed as aforesaid, the three (3) arbitrators shall convene forthwith and render their decision in accordance with the then applicable rules of the American Arbitration Association or its successor, which decision shall be strictly limited to a determination of the FMV Amount (as defined in Section 41.04 above), within thirty (30) days after the appointment of the third (3rd) arbitrator. The decision of such arbitrators shall be in writing. The first two (2) arbitrators appointed as above provided shall each determine the FMV Amount and exchange their determinations simultaneously (neither arbitrator being bound by the prior offers or determinations of FMV Amount made by Landlord or Tenant), and if such determinations are not identical, to the third (3rd arbitrator and the third (3rd) arbitrator shall select the determination of one of the two (2) other arbitrators that such third (3rd) arbitrator determines is closest to its valuation. The decision of the first two (2) arbitrators appointed (if their determinations are identical), or of the third (3rd) arbitrator (if the determination of the first two (2) arbitrators are not identical) shall be binding upon Landlord and Tenant. Duplicate original counterparts of such decision shall be sent forthwith by the arbitrators by certified mail, return receipt requested, to both Landlord and Tenant. The arbitrators, in arriving at their decision, shall be entitled to consider all testimony and documentary evidence that may be presented at any hearing, as well as facts and data which the arbitrators may discover by investigation and inquiry outside such hearings. If, for any reason whatsoever, a written decision of the arbitrators shall not be rendered within thirty (30) days after the appointment of the third (3rd) arbitrator, then, at any time thereafter before such decision shall have been rendered, either party may apply to the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County, or to any other court having jurisdiction and exercising the functions similar to those now exercised by such court, by action, proceeding or otherwise (but not by a new arbitration proceeding) as may be proper, to determine the question in dispute consistently with the provisions of this Lease. The cost and expense of such arbitration, action, proceeding, or otherwise shall be borne equally by Landlord and Tenant, but Landlord and Tenant shall each pay their own attorneys fees and disbursements and witness fees.
110
41.07 Interim Rent. If the FMV Amount is determined pursuant to Sections 41.05 and 41.06 hereof, and the Base Rent for the Extension Term shall not be finally determined pursuant to the terms of Section 41.05 or 41.06 hereof on or before the Extension Term Commencement Date, then:
(a) The annual Base Rent payable by Tenant during the Extension Term until the Base Rent for the Extension Term shall be so finally determined (such interim annual Base Rent being herein referred to as the Interim Extension Rent) shall, subject to adjustment as herein provided, be equal to the greater of (i) the Base Rent in effect on the last day of the initial term of this Lease, without taking into effect any abatement, offset or reduction, and (ii) the average of the FMV Amount determined by Landlord and the FMV Amount determined by Tenant, except that if Tenant fails to give to Landlord a FMV Dispute Notice or if the FMV Dispute Notice does not include an FMV Amount determined by Tenant, then the Interim Extension Rent shall, subject to adjustment as herein provided, be equal to the FMV Amount determined by Landlord; and
(b) If the Base Rent for the Extension Term, as finally determined pursuant to the terms of Section 41.06 hereof, shall be greater or less than the Interim Extension Rent, then (i) the annual Base Rent payable by Tenant for the balance of the Extension Term shall be and become the Base Rent as so finally determined, and (ii) if the Base Rent, as finally determined, shall be greater than the Interim Extension Rent, Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days after Landlords written demand therefor, pay to Landlord an amount equal to the difference between (x) the actual Base Rent paid to Landlord during the Extension Term before such final determination, and (y) the Base Rent that would have been payable by Tenant if the Base Rent for the Extension Term had been finally determined prior to Extension Term Commencement Date; or if the Base Rent, as finally determined, shall be less than the Interim Extension Rent, Landlord shall, within ten (10) days after Tenants demand therefor pay to Tenant an amount equal to the difference between the sum of the amount described in clause (x) above and the sum of the amount described in clause (y) above, as applicable to the Base Rent.
41.08 Certain Definitions. If, in accordance with and subject to, all of the terms, covenants and conditions contained in this Article, the term of this Lease is extended for the Extension Term, then Expiration Date, as such term is used in this Lease, shall mean the Extension Term Expiration Date, and Term, term of this Lease (and comparable words), shall mean the initial term of this Lease, as extended by the Extension Term. Notwithstanding anything which may be contained in this Lease to the contrary, Landlord shall have no obligation or duty, nor shall Landlord be required, to make any repairs, installations, alterations or improvements to the Premises or any portion thereof (including, without limitation, painting, finishing, plastering or decorating), with respect to the Extension Term, provided, however, that nothing contained in this sentence shall affect Landlords obligations to perform the repairs that Landlord is expressly required to make under this Lease. Except as expressly set forth in this Article, Tenant shall not have any option or right to extend or renew the term of this Lease.
111
ARTICLE 42
RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER
42.01 Offer. Provided that the named tenant and those occupants permitted pursuant to Section 9.15 or a Permitted Transferee hereof are in occupancy of the entire Premises as of the date Tenant delivers the applicable Election to Lease Notice, and provided further that there shall remain in the term of this Lease at least five (5) years between the Offer Space Effective Date (as hereinafter defined) and the expiration date of the term of this Lease (including for such purpose any Extension Term for which Tenant has exercised the applicable Extension Option pursuant to Article 41 hereof as of the date Landlord gives the Offer Space Notice or as to which Tenant exercises such Extension Option simultaneously with the giving of Tenants Election to Lease Notice), then, if at any time (and from time to time) that Landlord shall desire to lease any space (Offer Space) which is ROFO Applicable Space (hereinafter defined), Landlord shall give a notice (Offer Space Notice) to Tenant of Landlords desire to lease the Offer Space, which Offer Space Notice shall be deemed an offer to Tenant to lease the Offer Space to Tenant. The term ROFO Applicable Space shall mean, subject to Section 42.08 below, all or any portion of the 11th, 12th, 13thand 17th in the Building; provided, however, that:
(a) Tenants rights under this Article 42 shall not apply to the 17th floor until after the initial leasing thereof following the date of this Lease; and
(b) Landlord shall not be required to offer any additional ROFO Applicable Space to Tenant after Landlord has offered to Tenant ROFO Applicable Space consisting of either (the ROFO Cap) (x) the entire 17th floor, or (y) an aggregate amount of ROFO Applicable Space (offered in blocks of space containing not less than 20,000 RSF each) totaling at least 81,000 RSF, whether or not Tenant accepts any or all offers of space referred to in clause (x) or (y) of this subsection (ii); provided, however, that any ROFO Applicable Space offered to Tenant during the first two (2) years after the Commencement Date shall not be applied against the ROFO Cap unless Tenant leases such ROFO Applicable Space.
42.02 ROFO Term. (a) If Tenant shall elect to lease the Offer Space in accordance with this Article 42, such Offer Space (or applicable portion thereof) shall be included in the demised premises for a term (as to any Offer Space, the Tenant ROFO Term) commencing on the Offer Space Effective Date with respect thereto (as determined in accordance with Section 42.08(b) hereof) and ending on the Expiration Date. Landlord shall deliver an Offer Space Notice with respect to any Offer Space not earlier than twenty four (24) months or later than six (6) months prior to the anticipated Offer Space Effective Date of such Offer Space (or not later than thirty (30) days prior to the anticipated Offer Space Effective Date of such Offer Space with respect to any Offer Space which becomes available by reason of the termination of any existing Lease by reason of the default of the then existing tenant thereunder). Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article 42 to the contrary, if the Offer Space is not contiguous to (or located on any portion of a floor immediately above or below) any other portion of the Premises, Tenant may elect (provided it does so in its Election to Lease Notice, failing which it shall be deemed to have waived its right to so elect) to lease any such non-contiguous Offer Space (Short Term ROFO Space) for a term (Short Term ROFO Term) specified in Tenants Election to Lease Notice which begins on the Offer Space Effective Date and ends at least five (5) years thereafter (it being acknowledged and agreed that Tenant shall thereafter have no right pursuant to Article 41 hereof or otherwise to extend the term of this Lease with respect to any such Short Term ROFO Space).
112
(b) If Tenant shall elect to lease any Offer Space as hereinafter provided, the Base Rent payable for such Offer Space shall be, subject to adjustment as otherwise in this Lease provided, an amount equal to 100% of the fair market rental value of the applicable Offer Space, to be determined as provided in Sections 42.03 and 42.04 hereof and to be calculated as of the date of the applicable Election to Lease Notice on the basis of a new letting of the applicable Offer Space for a term of years equal to the Tenant ROFO Term commencing on the Offer Space Effective Date; provided, however, that the fair market rental value with respect to any Short Term ROFO Space shall be (i) calculated on the basis of a new letting of the applicable Short Term ROFO Space for the term (which shall be no shorter than the Short Term ROFO Term) for which Landlord could obtain the highest rental rate in the market place for the Short Term ROFO Term, and (ii) in no event less than the Base Rent payable with respect to the Premises on a per RSF basis pursuant to Section 1.01(b) hereof. The determination of the fair market rental value of the applicable Offer Space pursuant to this Lease shall be based on and take into consideration all then relevant factors, and the amount of said fair market rental value is herein referred to as the Offer FMV Amount.
42.03 FMV Determination. The initial determination of the Offer FMV Amount shall be made by Landlord. Landlord shall give notice (a Offer Rent Notice) to Tenant of the Offer FMV Amount determined by Landlord on or before the date which is thirty (30) days following the date Tenant delivers the applicable Election to Lease Notice. The Offer FMV Amount so determined by Landlord shall be deemed conclusive and binding upon Tenant unless on or before the date (the Offer Determination Date) which is thirty (30) days after Landlord gives to Tenant the Offer Rent Notice either (a) Tenant gives to Landlord notice (the Offer FMV Dispute Notice) that Tenant disputes the Offer FMV Amount so determined by Landlord, which Offer FMV Dispute Notice may, but shall not be required to, set forth Tenants determination of the Offer FMV Amount, or (b) Tenant fails to respond to the Offer Rent Notice. If on or before the Offer Determination Date Tenant gives to Landlord an Offer FMV Dispute Notice or fails to respond to the Offer Rent Notice, then Tenant shall be deemed to have disputed Landlords determination of the Offer FMV Amount, whereupon Landlord and Tenant shall have thirty (30) days after the Offer Determination Date to negotiate, execute and deliver a written agreement (an Offer FMV Agreement) setting forth the Base Rent for the Extension Term. If Landlord and Tenant fail to execute and deliver an Offer FMV Agreement within thirty (30) days after the Offer Determination Date, the Offer FMV Amount shall be determined by arbitration pursuant to Section 42.04 below.
113
42.04 Arbitration. Unless, by the Offer Determination Date, Tenant agrees, in writing, with Landlords determination of the Offer FMV Amount, or within thirty (30) days after the Offer Determination Date, Landlord and Tenant execute an Offer FMV Agreement, the Offer FMV Amount for the Extension Term shall be determined by arbitration as follows:
(a) Landlord and Tenant shall each appoint an arbitrator by written notice given to the other party hereto not later than sixty (60) days after the Offer Determination Date. If either Landlord or Tenant fail to appoint an arbitrator within such period of time and thereafter fail to do so by written notice given within a period of five (5) days after notice by the other party requesting the appointment of such arbitrator, then such arbitrator shall be appointed by the American Arbitration Association or its successor (the branch office of which is located in or closest to the City and State of New York), upon request of either Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be;
(b) The arbitrators will submit their determinations of the Offer FMV Amount to both parties within thirty (30) days after their selection. If the difference between the two (2) determinations is two percent (2%) or less of the higher appraisal, then the average between the two determinations will be the Offer FMV Amount.
(c) In the event that the arbitrators determination is more than 2% apart, they shall appoint a third (3rd) arbitrator by written notice given to both Landlord and Tenant, and, if they fail to do so by written notice given within thirty (30) days after their appointment, such third (3rd) arbitrator shall be appointed as above provided for the appointment of an arbitrator in the event either party fails to do so;
(d) All of such arbitrators shall be New York State licensed real estate brokers having not less than ten (10) years experience in representing owners or tenants in commercial leasing transactions in respect of first-class office use buildings in Manhattan; and
(e) If a third (3rd) arbitrator is appointed as aforesaid, they shall convene forthwith and render their decision in accordance with the then applicable rules of the American Arbitration Association or its successor, which decision shall be strictly limited to a determination of the Offer FMV Amount (as defined in Section 42.02 above), within thirty (30) days after the appointment of the third (3rd) arbitrator. The decision of such arbitrators shall be in writing. The first two (2) arbitrators appointed as above provided shall each determine the Offer FMV Amount and exchange their determinations simultaneously (neither arbitrator being bound by the prior offers or determinations of Offer FMV Amount made by Landlord or Tenant), and if such determinations are not identical, the third (3rd) arbitrator shall select the determination of one of the two (2) other arbitrators that such third (3rd) arbitrator determines is closest to its valuation. The decision of the first two (2) arbitrators appointed (if their determinations are identical), or of the third (3rd) arbitrator (if the determination of the first two (2) arbitrators are not identical) shall be binding upon Landlord and Tenant. Duplicate original counterparts of such decision shall be sent forthwith by the arbitrators by certified mail, return receipt requested, to both Landlord and Tenant. The arbitrators, in arriving at their decision, shall be entitled to consider all testimony and documentary evidence that may be presented at any hearing, as well as facts and data which the arbitrators may discover by investigation and inquiry outside such hearings. If, for any reason whatsoever, a written decision of the arbitrators shall not be rendered within thirty (30) days after the appointment of the third (3rd) arbitrator, then, at any time thereafter before such decision shall have been rendered, either party may apply to the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County, or to any other court having jurisdiction and exercising the functions similar to those now exercised by such court, by action, proceeding or otherwise (but not by a new arbitration proceeding) as may be proper, to determine the question in dispute consistently with the provisions of this Lease. The cost and expense of such arbitration, action, proceeding, or otherwise shall be borne equally by Landlord and Tenant, but Landlord and Tenant shall each pay their own attorneys fees and disbursements and witness fees.
114
42.05 Interim Rent. (a) In the event the computation of the fair market rental value of the Offer Space under this Article 42 is not determined until after the applicable Offer Space Effective Date, Tenant shall pay Base Rent for the Offer Space at a rate per RSF equal to one-half the sum of the Offer FMV Amount determinations made by the two arbitrators appointed by Landlord and Tenant pursuant to Section 42.04, and at such time as the Base Rent is determined, (i) the Base Rent shall be retroactively adjusted to the applicable Offer Space Effective Date, (ii) the parties shall (within ten (10) days of written demand made by one on the other for a reconciliation of the Base Rent paid by Tenant for the period commencing on the applicable Offer Space Effective Date through the date preceding the date Tenant commences the payment of the Base Rent in the recomputed amount, the ROFO Interim Period) reconcile the amount paid by Tenant for the Offer Space during the ROFO Interim Period, and if Tenant shall have overpaid for the ROFO Interim Period, Landlord shall credit the overage to the next payment of Base Rent payable under this Lease (provided that if such overpayment exceeds one (1) months payment of Base Rent as so recomputed, Landlord shall, within five (5) Business Days after such reconciliation, pay to Tenant the amount of such overage), and if Tenant shall have underpaid such amount, Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days after Landlords written demand therefor, pay the deficiency to Landlord and (iii) commencing on the first day of the month following the month in which the reconciliation referred to in the preceding clause (ii) of this Section 42.05(a) was made, Tenant shall start making monthly installments of Base Rent for the Offer Space in question in the recomputed amount.
(b) Except as set forth in this Section 42.05, any Offer Space leased by Tenant shall be leased for the balance of the remaining Term of this Lease (as the same may be extended pursuant to Article 41) upon and subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Lease, provided that (i) Tenant will lease the Offer Space in its as-is condition without the obligation of Landlord to perform any work or incur any expense to prepare same for Tenants occupancy, and (ii) Tenant shall not be entitled to any work letter, tenant allowance, rent concession and/or other concessions in respect of the Offer Space.
42.06 Offer Notice. The Offer Space Notice shall set forth the following: (i) the estimated date on which Landlord anticipates that the Offer Space shall become vacant and/or available for possession (Offer Space Effective Date); (ii) the Tenants Tax Share and Tenants Expense Share for the Offer Space; (iii) Landlords calculation of the RSF of the Offer Space; and (iv) a scaled floor plan of the Offer Space.
42.07 Tenant Election. Tenant shall have thirty (30) days, time being of the essence, following Landlords giving of the Offer Space Notice to deliver to Landlord notice (the Election to Lease Notice) of Tenants desire to exercise its right under this Article 42 (the Right of First Offer) to lease from Landlord all (and not less than all) of the Offer Space. The failure or refusal of Tenant for any reason whatsoever to deliver to Landlord the Election to Lease Notice in the time and manner herein prescribed (any Offer Space being the subject of an Offer Space Notice which is not so leased by Tenant pursuant to an Election to Lease notice being herein referred to as Rejected ROFO Space), shall, subject to Section 42.09 below, be deemed an irrevocable waiver of Tenants Right of First Offer with respect to the Rejected ROFO Space as to the particular transaction, whereupon Tenants Right of First Offer with respect to such Rejected ROFO Space shall lapse and be of no further force or effect.
42.08 Modification. (a) If Tenant shall timely and in the manner herein prescribed deliver its Election to Lease Notice, the parties hereto shall, enter into a modification of this Lease incorporating such Offer Space into this Lease for the Tenant ROFO Term and otherwise on the terms and conditions specified in this Article 42.
115
(b) Landlords estimate of the Offer Space Effective Date as set forth in the Offer Space Notice shall not be binding upon Landlord. If Landlord is unable to deliver vacant possession of the Offer Space to Tenant for any reason on or prior to such date, Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to deliver vacant possession of the Offer Space to Tenant as soon thereafter as possible, including the institution and prosecution of eviction, holdover or other appropriate actions or proceedings against any tenant(s) of the Offer Space. The Offer Space Effective Date shall then be the later of thirty (30) days after Landlord gives Tenant notice of the date on which vacant possession is to be delivered to Tenant and the date on which Landlord is able to so deliver vacant possession and Landlord shall not be subject to any liability and this Lease shall not be impaired under such circumstances, provided that Landlord shall have made reasonable efforts to timely deliver vacant possession of the offer Space as aforesaid. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the prompt and diligent prosecution of appropriate holdover proceedings to obtain such vacant possession shall be deemed to constitute reasonable efforts. Nothing in this Article 42 is intended to or shall be deemed to obligate Landlord to pay any consideration to obtain vacant possession of the Offer Space, and Landlords unwillingness to do so shall not be considered a failure to exercise reasonable diligence. Tenant hereby waives any right to rescind this Lease or the new lease for the Offer Space under the provisions of Section 223(a) of the Real Property Law of the State of New York, and agrees that the provisions of this Article 42 are intended to constitute an express provision to the contrary within the meaning of said Section 223(a).
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Landlord is unable to deliver vacant possession of the Offer Space to Tenant for any reason on or prior to the date (the Outside Date) that is three hundred (300) days subsequent to the date Landlord estimated as the Offer Space Effective Date in the Offer Space Notice, Tenant, at its option and upon written notice to Landlord, may (i) cause the cancellation of the inclusion of the Offer Space in the demised premises by 30 days prior written notice to Landlord given at any time within ninety (90) days subsequent to the Outside Date unless possession of the Offer Space is delivered prior to Landlords receipt of Tenants notice (provided that such cancellation notice shall be null and void if the applicable Offer Space is delivered within such 30 day period) or (ii) extend the Outside Date to the date set forth in Tenants notice provided such date is no more than one hundred eighty (180) days subsequent to the Outside Date. Landlord will give Tenant a non-binding thirty (30) day advance notice that the Offer Space will be available for delivery of vacant possession. If Landlord believes in good faith that Landlord will not obtain vacant possession of the Offer Space on or prior to the Outside Date (as such date may be extended pursuant to clause (ii) of this Section 42.08(c)), Landlord will give notice thereof to Tenant together with Landlords reasonable estimate of the date that it anticipates Landlord can deliver the Offer Space to Tenant, who shall have thirty (30) days thereafter as Tenants sole right in such circumstances to advise Landlord that Tenant elects either by 30 days prior written notice to cancel this Lease with respect to the Offer Space or to extend the Outside Date to the date set forth in Landlords notice (provided that such cancellation notice shall be null and void if the applicable Offer Space is delivered within such 30 day period). If Tenant extends the Outside Date, Landlord shall exercise and continue to exercise reasonable diligence to obtain such vacant possession. This procedure shall be repeated until either Landlord delivers the Offer Space or Tenant elects to cancel the inclusion of the Offer Space, as aforesaid.
116
42.09 Failure to Exercise. (a) If with respect to Offer Space described in any Offer Space Notice Tenant shall notify Landlord of Tenants waiving its Right of First Offer, or if Tenant shall not timely and in the manner prescribed exercise its Right of First Offer, then the following shall apply:
(i) Landlord shall have a period of two (2) years from the expiration of the thirty (30) day period referred to in Section 42.07 to execute a new lease or lease amendment (Proposed New Lease) for the Offer Space, for a term (which may be longer or shorter than the Tenant ROFO Term) and on such other terms and conditions as Landlord in its sole and absolute discretion deems in Landlords best interest free of and without being subject to Tenants Right of First Offer.
(ii) If Landlord has not yet executed a Proposed New Lease and is not in bona fide negotiations for a Proposed New Lease for the Offer Space within one (1) year from the expiration of the thirty (30) day period referred to in Section 42.07, then Tenants Right of First Offer with respect to the Offer Space in question shall be deemed revived and reinstated with respect to any subsequent desire of Landlord to lease the Offer Space subsequent to said one (1) year period.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Landlord shall submit a new Offer Space Notice to Tenant within the 1-year period, then the provisions of subparagraph (a) above shall be deemed to apply to the new Offer Space Notice, and the terms of this subparagraph (b) shall be applicable to the most recent Offer Space Notice which Landlord has given.
(c) The fact that Landlord and Tenant may, or in fact do, enter into negotiations after the thirty (30) day period set forth in Section 42.07 above shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the waiver of Tenants Right of First Offer.
42.10 Superior Rights. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 42, Tenants Right of First Offer shall be subject and subordinate only to the following rights and options (collectively, Superior Rights):
(a) the existing rights of tenants under existing leases in the Building as of the Execution Date to renew or extend their lease term or to lease additional space, including rights of first offer, rights of first refusal and expansion rights; and
(b) the renewal or extension of the lease terms of existing tenants in the Building whose leases cover a portion of the Offer Space as of the Execution Date, whether or not such existing tenants have been granted a right to renew or extend their lease term as of the Execution Date.
42.11 ROFO Not Applicable. In addition, Tenants Right of First Offer shall not apply to any lease or demise, however characterized, or Landlords desire to effectuate same, of any space in the Building to or in connection with any of the following:
(a) any subleasing under or assignment of any lease for space in the Building;
(b) a recapture, assignment or subletting to Landlord or any Landlords Affiliates or nominee of Landlord pursuant to the exercise of such rights by Landlord in any lease, but Tenants Right of First Offer shall apply to the subsequent leasing or subleasing of such space or any assignment of the lease thereof to others by Landlord, or any Affiliate, other than to other Affiliates of Landlord, and are not otherwise exempt under the provisions of this Section 42.11; or
117
(c) any portion of the Premises (i) on which the term of this Lease had theretofore expired or had theretofore been earlier terminated or (ii) which had been theretofore surrendered to, or had been theretofore recaptured by, Landlord.
ARTICLE 43
SIGNAGE
43.01 Definition. For the purposes of this Lease, Sign means a plaque, placard, billboard, flag, banner, light, television screen, monitor or other advertising symbol or object, irrespective of whether same is temporary or permanent, or neon, lighted or flashing, or mechanical, stationary or electronic, which displays any words, pictures, logos, moving images, numbers or other messages.
43.02 No Signage Except as Permitted. Except as expressly permitted in Section 43.03 below, no Sign that is visible from outside the Premises (including Signs in or on the exterior windows or doors of the Premises), shall be installed or displayed by Tenant or any other Tenant Party, without Landlords prior written approval in each instance, which approval may be withheld or denied in Landlords sole and absolute discretion. Landlords right to approve Signs shall relate to all aspects of the Sign in question, including size, colors, dimensions, materials, finishes and method of attachment.
43.03 Tenant Signage. Tenant may, at its sole cost and expense, install, in accordance with, and subject to, Article 13 and the other applicable provisions of this Lease, entry suite signage that depicts the name and logo of Tenant or any Related Entity of Tenant that is then occupying the floor of the Building in question, in the elevator lobbies on the floors in which the Premises are situated and/or adjacent to the doors to the Premises, provided Tenant, at its sole cost and expense clean and maintain such signage in good order and condition. Landlords approval for the aesthetics of such signage (e.g., the lettering and colors, as opposed to the materials, location, method of attachment and other physical aspects of such signage) shall not be required for the installation of any such signage on any floor of the Building which is entirely leased by Tenant. For any floor of the Building which is not entirely leased by Tenant, such approval shall be required but shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed provided such signage complies with any uniform Building signage program of Landlord then in effect, and in all cases, regardless of whether Landlords approval for the aesthetics of such signage is required, Landlords prior approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, shall be required for the materials, location, method of attachment and other physical aspects of such signage. Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall remove all such signage on or prior to the earlier of (a) the last day of the Term with respect to the floor of the Building in question, and (b) the date that Tenant or such Related Entity of Tenant is no longer leasing such floor, and shall repair any damage to the Building that may result from such removal and restore such portions of the Building to substantially the condition same were in prior to such installation.
118
43.04 Lobby Signage. For so long as Tenant (i) is the originally Named Tenant hereunder or is a Permitted Transferee, and (ii) occupies one (1) full floor of the Building (the Occupancy Requirements), Tenant may, at its sole cost and expense, install, in accordance with, and subject to, Article 13 and the other applicable provisions of this Lease, and maintain signage (including its name and logo) on the back wall of the elevator bank C lobby vestibule (but not the left or right lobby-facing walls at the entrance to the elevator bank) only in the particular locations specified on, and otherwise in accordance with the requirements of, the signage plan annexed hereto as Exhibit M (the Signage Plan); provided, however that Landlord may modify the Signage Plan and/or require that Tenant remove such signage at Tenants sole cost and expense, in each case in Landlords sole discretion, at any time (and for so long as) Tenant is not satisfying the Occupancy Requirements, and provided that the modified requirements of the Signage Plan apply to all tenants or occupants permitted to have signs in such location.

(ii) | copies of paid receipted invoices from the contractors and subcontractors for portions of Tenants Work performed through the date of such Tenants Request, and from the materialmen and suppliers for the materials and supplies supplied through the date of such Tenants Request; | ||
(iii) | a certificate from the Architect that (1) such portion of the Tenants Work has been substantially completed in accordance with the Construction Drawings and revisions thereto theretofore approved by Landlord; and (2) to the best of the Architects knowledge, after due inquiry, there are no violations or liens pending as a result of such portion of the Tenants Work; | ||
(iv) | lien waivers from the Contractor, and/or each direct contractor, subcontractor, materialman and supplier of (i) Tenant, or (ii) the Contractor, to the extent of the work performed and materials and supplies supplied, as applicable, through the date of such Tenants Request (to the extent not already provided to Landlord); and | ||
(v) | payment to Landlord (by wire transfer of immediately available Federal Funds to an account which shall be designated by Landlord in writing in advance) an amount (Tenants Requisition Share) equal to the difference between the Total Requisitioned Amount (hereinafter defined) in such Tenants Request and the Periodic Payment payable by Landlord with respect to such requisition, determined as hereinafter provided.

Simultaneously with payment of a Periodic Payment, Landlord shall also pay Tenants Requisition Share to the Contractor. Within thirty (30) days following final completion of Tenant's Work, submission of a Tenants Request accompanied by all Close Out Deliverables, Landlord shall disburse the lesser of (i) the amount set forth in Tenants Request therefor, or (ii) the remaining unfunded portion of the Maximum Work Allowance, plus any remaining balance of Tenants Deposit then being held by Landlord. The Contract shall incorporate provisions for payment in accordance with the requirements and time frames provided for in this Section 5.3.2.
5.3.3. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Landlord shall not be obligated to pay any portion of the Work Allowance for any portion of the Tenant Work unless such portion of the Tenants Work has been performed substantially in compliance with the applicable provisions of the Lease and this Tenant Work Letter.
