(ii)    As used throughout this Lease, the term "Substantial Completion" or words of similar import shall mean that the applicable work has been substantially completed in accordance applicable Requirements (it being understood that the obtaining of any required signoffs and approvals for Landlord’s Work may occur following the Commencement Date, and not as a condition to the Substantial Completion of Landlord’s Work, provided that Tenant shall not be legally prohibited from using the applicable portion of the Premises (and shall not actually be using the applicable portion of the Premises) solely due to such delay in obtaining such signoffs or approvals)) with respect to the applicable portions of the Premises in accordance with the applicable plans and specifications, if any, and the provisions of Article 23 and Exhibits B-1, B-2 and B-3 attached hereto and made a part hereof with respect to Landlord's Work it being agreed that (i) such work shall be deemed substantially complete with respect to each portion of the Premises notwithstanding the fact that minor or insubstantial details of construction or demolition, mechanical adjustment or decorative items remain to be performed in such portion of the Premises (“Punch List Items”), and (ii) with respect to work that is being performed in any applicable portion of the Premises, such work shall be deemed substantially complete only if the incomplete elements thereof do not interfere materially with Tenant's use and occupancy of such portion of the Premises for the conduct of business.

Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, in no event shall Landlord have any obligation to notify Tenant as aforesaid if Tenant has taken legal possession of the Premises prior to the date on which Landlord delivers the Substantial Completion Notice; it being understood that if Tenant has taken legal possession thereof, the Commencement Date and the Rent Commencement Date shall in no way be conditioned or otherwise contingent upon the delivery of the Substantial Completion Notice.
    (iii)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Consent to Sublease dated September 12, 2019 between Landlord, Tenant and Ipreo, if Landlord’s lease with Ipreo (the “Ipreo Lease”) shall terminate prior to the 2nd/3rd Floor Commencement Date, the 2nd/3rd Floor Sublease shall continue as a direct lease between Landlord and Tenant, provided that, on the date of such termination, Tenant shall not be in default under the terms and provisions of the 2nd/3rd Floor Sublease or this Lease, which default shall continue after notice and the expiration of the applicable grace period. In such event, (i) Tenant shall attorn to and recognize Landlord as the sublandlord under the 2nd/3rd Floor Sublease, (ii) Tenant’s subleasehold estate under the 2nd/3rd Floor Sublease shall not be terminated or disturbed by reason of the termination of the Ipreo Lease, (iii) upon the recognition and attornment by Tenant and Landlord, Tenant shall thereafter be obligated to pay fixed annual rent and escalation rent for the 2nd/3rd Floor Premises through the day immediately preceding the 2nd/3rd Floor Commencement Date equal to the fixed annual rent and escalation rent payable for the 2nd/3rd Floor Premises under the Ipreo Lease (as reasonably and equitably determined by Landlord). Notwithstanding the foregoing attornment and recognition provisions of this Lease, in the event the 2nd/3rd Floor Sublease becomes a direct lease between Landlord and Tenant, from and after such attornment and recognition and until the 2nd/3rd Floor Commencement Date, the non-monetary rights and obligations of Landlord and Tenant, as subtenant, with respect to the 2nd/3rd Floor Premises shall be governed by the corresponding provisions of this Lease, rather than the corresponding provisions of the Ipreo Lease and the 2nd/3rd Floor Sublease (provided, however, that in no event shall any amounts that would have been payable to Landlord pursuant to the Ipreo Lease be decreased as a result of the provisions hereof). The provisions of this paragraph are subject to the provisions of Section 4D(xiii) of this Lease. Except as set forth above, the rights and obligations of Landlord and Tenant under this Lease shall not commence with respect to the 2nd/3rd Floor Premises until the occurrence of the 2nd/3rd Floor Commencement Date. Subject to Ipreo’s consent and provided that the same shall not be deemed a breach by Landlord of the Ipreo Lease or any other agreement to which Landlord is a party, Landlord hereby agrees that, upon notice from Tenant in each instance referring to the provisions hereof and provided Tenant is not in default under this Lease beyond the expiration of any applicable notice and cure periods, as long as there shall be no monetary adverse implications to Landlord (i.e., any amounts
2

payable to Landlord would not decrease in any manner), the provisions of Article 8, Article 10, Article 19, Article 22, Article 27, Article 41 and Article 42 shall apply with respect to Tenant’s use and occupancy of the 2nd/3rd Floor Premises (as between Landlord and Tenant) during the period commencing on the date hereof until the 2nd/3rd Floor Commencement Date.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, Landlord shall have the right, in Landlord's sole discretion, to exclude from Expenses the costs of certain non-recurring capital expenditures and/or the costs of certain non-recurring repairs (including the then remaining unamortized costs of any such non-recurring expenditure or repair incurred prior to the Term) which Landlord would otherwise have the right to include in Expenses pursuant to the terms of this Article 2; it being understood and agreed, however, that if Landlord elects to exclude any such costs, the same shall be excluded from the Base Expense Year and any subsequent Comparative Years occurring during the Term. As used herein, the term "Payback Period" means the length of time (expressed in months) obtained by multiplying (x) the quotient of (i) the aggregate costs of any such capital improvement, divided by (ii) the Projected Annual Savings, times (y) twelve (12). By way of example: if the aggregate costs of such capital improvement are $2,000,000 and the Projected Annual Savings are $500,000, then the simple payback period for such capital improvement is forty-eight (48) months. The term "Projected Annual Savings" means the anticipated or estimated average annual savings (whether or not actually realized) in Expenses (subject to reasonable assumptions and qualifications of the Building’s operating costs (such as utility costs, steam costs, etc.),

determined using commonly applied engineering methods by an independent engineer selected by Landlord.
(iv)If during all or part of the Base Expense Year or any Comparative Year, Landlord shall not furnish any particular item(s) of work or service (which would constitute an Expense hereunder) to portions of the Building due to the fact that such portions are not occupied or leased, or because such item of work or service is not required or desired by the tenant of such portion, or such tenant is itself obtaining and providing such item of work or service, or for other reasons, then, for the purposes of computing the Additional Rent payable under this Section 2.C, the amount of the Base Expenses and/or the Expenses for any such Comparative Year, as applicable, shall be increased by an amount equal to the Expenses which would reasonably have been incurred during such period by Landlord if it had at its own expense furnished such item of work or services that had not been provided to such portion of the Real Property; it being understood and agreed that if Landlord increases the Expenses for a particular Comparative Year as contemplated herein, Landlord shall also increase the Base Expenses by such amount.
(v)Tenant shall pay the Expense Payment (as hereinafter defined) to Landlord as Additional Rent in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.C.(v). The term "Expense Payment" shall mean an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying (A) the excess (if any) of (i) the Expenses for such Comparative Year, over (ii) the Base Expenses, by (B) Tenant's Expense Share. Landlord shall have the right to give a statement to Tenant from time to time pursuant to which Landlord sets forth Landlord's good faith estimate of the Expense Payment for a particular Comparative Year (any such statement that Landlord gives to Tenant being referred to herein as a "Prospective Expense Statement"; one-twelfth (1/12th) of the Expense Payment shown on a Prospective Expense Statement being referred to herein as the "Monthly Expense Payment Amount"). If Landlord gives to Tenant a Prospective Expense Statement, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, on account of the Expense Payment due hereunder for such Comparative Year, the Monthly Expense Payment Amount, on the first (1st) day of each subsequent calendar month for the remainder of such Comparative Year, provided that Landlord has given Tenant at least thirty (30) days’ notice prior to the first estimate becoming due (without Landlord being required to send any further notice thereof), unless and until a new adjustment of the Expense Payment becomes effective pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.C.(v) based upon Landlord's issuance of an updated Expense Statement. Tenant shall pay the Monthly Expense Payment Amount in the same manner as the monthly installments of the Fixed Annual Rent hereunder. If Landlord gives Tenant a Prospective Expense Statement after the first (1st) day of the applicable Comparative Year to which it relates, then Tenant shall also pay to Landlord, within thirty (30) days after the date that Landlord gives the Prospective Expense Statement to Tenant, an amount equal to the excess of (I) the product obtained by multiplying (x) the Monthly Expense Payment Amount, by (y) the number of calendar months that have theretofore elapsed during such Comparative Year, over (II) the aggregate amount theretofore paid by Tenant to Landlord on account of the Expense Payment for such Comparative Year.
(vi)Following the expiration of the Base Expense Year and each Comparative Year, Landlord shall submit to Tenant an Expense Statement setting forth the Base Expenses, and the Expense Payment, if any, due to Landlord from Tenant for such Comparative Year under this Section 2.C (i.e., a true-up statement). Within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s rendering of such Expense Statement, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as part of the Expense Payment for the Comparative Year to which such Expense Statement relates, an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Expense Payment for such Comparative Year, as set forth in the Expense Statement, over the Expense Payment previously collected from Tenant for such Comparative Year pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.C. Provided that no Default has occurred and is then continuing, if the Expense Payment for any Comparative Year, as set forth in the true-up statement, shall be less than the amount of the Expense Payment previously paid by Tenant pursuant to this Section 2.C for such Comparative Year, the difference shall be credited against amounts thereafter payable by Tenant pursuant to this Section 2.C. If (x) Tenant is entitled to a credit pursuant to this subparagraph (vi), and (y) the Expiration Date occurs prior to the date that such credit is exhausted, then Landlord shall pay to Tenant the unused portion of such credit (less any amounts that may then remain due and payable pursuant to the terms of this Lease) on or prior to the thirtieth (30th) day after the Expiration Date (and Landlord's obligation to make such payment shall survive the Expiration Date). Notwithstanding the foregoing to
8
#152719409_v7



the contrary, Landlord shall have no obligation to credit or refund to Tenant any amounts paid hereunder which were paid by or on behalf of a Person other than Tenant (i.e. a predecessor tenant under this Lease, other than an assignee under a transaction as to which Landlord’s consent was not required).
(vii)
(a)Any Expense Statement that Landlord gives to Tenant shall be binding upon Tenant conclusively unless, within one hundred eighty (180) days after the date that Landlord gives Tenant such Expense Statement, Tenant gives a notice (an "Audit Notice") to Landlord objecting to such Expense Statement which notice shall specify the particular respects in which Tenant objects to such Expense Statement (if then known by Tenant). Tenant's right to give an Audit Notice (and conduct the audit contemplated by this subparagraph 2.C.(vii)) shall survive the Expiration Date (to the extent that the Expiration Date occurs earlier than the one hundred eightieth (180th) day after the date that Landlord gives the applicable Expense Statement to Tenant). Tenant shall have the right to audit the Base Expenses as contemplated by this subparagraph 2.C.(vii) (1) after receiving the first Expense Statement that sets forth the Base Expenses and (2) together with Tenant’s first audit of any Expense Statement (provided that such first audit of the Base Expenses shall occur together with the an audit of the first Comparative Year or the second Comparative Year occurring after the Base Expense Year), and, accordingly, once Tenant's right to so audit the Base Expenses lapses (i.e., if Tenant shall not audit the first Comparative Year or the Second Comparative Year after such Base Expense Year), Tenant shall not have the right to thereafter audit the Base Expenses (unless Landlord sends a revised statement of Base Expenses), notwithstanding that the Base Expenses are included in the calculation of the Expense Payment for Comparative Years. For the avoidance of doubt, Tenant shall only have the right to audit the Base Expenses once for each portion of the Premises (i.e., if such Expenses were already audited as a Comparative Year for a portion of the Premises, Tenant shall not then have the right to audit the space Expenses merely because they are the Base Expenses for a different portion of the Premises). If Tenant gives an Audit Notice to Landlord, then, subject to the terms of this subparagraph 2.C.(vii), Tenant may examine Landlord's books and records relating to such Expense Statement to determine the accuracy thereof, provided that (x) Tenant commences such audit within sixty (60) days following the date Tenant gives Landlord an Audit Notice and (y) such audit is completed within sixty (60) days following the date Tenant gives Landlord an Audit Notice. Time shall be of the essence with respect to all time periods set forth in this Section 2.C.(vii). Tenant may perform such examination on reasonable advance notice to Landlord, at reasonable times, in Landlord's office or, at Landlord's option, at the office of Landlord's managing agent or accountants (all of which offices shall be in New York City); it being expressly understood that Tenant shall not be permitted to copy, reproduce or otherwise transcribe any portion of Landlord's books and records. Tenant shall not have the right to conduct an audit of Landlord's books and records as described in this subparagraph Section 2.C. (vii) during the period that a monetary default or material non-monetary default with respect to which Tenant has been given notice has occurred and is continuing. Tenant shall have the right to conduct such examination using Tenant's own employees. Tenant, in performing such examination, shall also have the right to be accompanied by a certified public accountant from one of the "big-4" firms of certified public accountants (or their successors), or, at Tenant's option, a certified public accountant from a reputable firm that is reasonably acceptable to Landlord or a certified auditor from a reputable auditing firm reasonably acceptable to Landlord; provided, however, that Tenant shall not be entitled to be so accompanied by any certified public accountant or certified auditor unless Tenant and such certified public accountant or certified auditor certify to Landlord in a written instrument that is reasonably satisfactory to Landlord that the compensation being paid by Tenant to such certified public accountant or certified auditor is not conditioned or otherwise contingent (in whole or in part) on the extent of any reduction in the Expense Payment that derives from such examination. Tenant shall not have the right to conduct any such audit unless and until Tenant delivers to Landlord an executed confidentiality agreement, in a form reasonably designated by Landlord, signed by Tenant and Tenant's certified public accountant or certified auditor to which such books and records are proposed to be disclosed, pursuant to which Tenant and such certified public accountants or certified auditors agree to maintain the information obtained from such examination in confidence (subject, however, to the disclosure of the information that Tenant or Tenant's certified public accountant derive from such examination as
9
#152719409_v7



required by law or to Tenant's counsel or other professional advisors that, in either case, agree to maintain such information in confidence).
(b)If it is determined ultimately that (i) Landlord, in an Expense Statement, overstated the Expense Payment, and (ii) Tenant overpaid the Expense Payment for a particular Comparative Year, then Tenant shall be entitled to credit the amount of such overpayment of the Expense Payment against the Fixed Annual Rent thereafter coming due hereunder. If (x) Tenant is entitled to a credit against Fixed Annual Rent pursuant to this subparagraph (vii)(b), and (y) the Expiration Date occurs prior to the date that such credit is exhausted, then Landlord shall pay to Tenant the unused portion of such credit (less any amounts that may then remain due and payable pursuant to the terms of this Lease) on or prior to the thirtieth (30th) day after the Expiration Date (and Landlord's obligation to make such payment shall survive the Expiration Date); it being agreed that if it is finally determined that the Expenses reported by Landlord in any particular Expense Statement are in excess of one hundred five percent (105%) of the actual amount of Expenses for the Comparative Year in question, then (1) Tenant’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs of said audit shall be payable by Landlord within forty-five (45) days after written demand (it being understood that Landlord shall pay such amount within forty-five (45) days after Tenant gives to Landlord reasonable supporting documentation describing the aforesaid costs of Tenant’s audit), and (2) the credit that Tenant is entitled to pursuant to the Section shall include interest on such overpaid amount at the Applicable Rate calculated from the date such overpayment was made by Tenant.
(c)Pending the resolution of any audit contemplated in this subparagraph (vii), Tenant shall pay the Expense Payment to Landlord in accordance with the Expense Statement furnished by Landlord.
(viii)Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, provided that no Default has then occurred and is continuing, Tenant shall have no obligation to make any Expense Payments (A) with respect to the 9th Floor Premises, with respect to periods prior to the 9th Floor Rent Commencement Date, and (B) with respect to the 20th Floor Premises, with respect to periods prior to the 20th Floor Rent Commencement Date.
(ix)Any delay or failure of Landlord in billing or tendering any Expense Statement shall not constitute a waiver of or in any way impair (a) Landlord’s right to bill Tenant at any subsequent time (during or subsequent to the Term) retroactively for the entire amount so unbilled (which previously unbilled amount shall be payable within thirty (30) days after demand therefor), and to collect any such amount or (b) Tenant’s continuing obligation to pay the same hereunder, which obligation shall survive the Expiration Date, provided however, notwithstanding any of the foregoing, Landlord shall not have the right to bill Tenant, nor shall Tenant have an obligation to pay any Additional Rent provided for in this Section 2.C that Landlord fails to bill Tenant for more than twenty-four (24) months following the expiration of the Comparative Year in which the applicable Expenses were incurred.
D.Tax Escalation. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, tax escalation in accordance with this Section 2.D.
(i)For the purposes of this Section 2.D, the following definitions shall apply:
(a)The term "Base Year Taxes" shall mean the Real Estate Taxes for the Base Tax Year.
(b)The term "Base Tax Year" shall mean (A) with respect to the 2nd/3rd Floor Premises and the 9th Floor Premises, the Tax Year commencing on July 1, 2022 and ending on June 30, 2023, and (B) with respect to the 20th Floor Premises, the second (2nd) half of the Tax Year commencing on July 1, 2023 and ending on June 30, 2024 and the first (1st) half of the Tax Year commencing on July 1, 2024 and ending on June 30, 2025 (i.e., calendar year 2024).
(c)The term "Comparative Tax Year" shall mean, (A) with respect to the 2nd/3rd Floor Premises and the 9th Floor Premises, each Tax Year commencing on or after July 1, 2023 (or such other twelve (12) month period commencing on or after July 1, 2023 adopted by the City of New York as its fiscal Tax Year), and (B) with respect to the 20th Floor Premises, the second (2nd) half of the Tax Year commencing on July 1, 2024 and
10
#152719409_v7



ending on June 30, 2025 and the first (1st) half of the Tax Year commencing on July 1, 2025 and ending on June 30, 2026 (i.e., calendar year 2025), and each subsequent calendar year thereafter.
(d)The term "Comparative Year Taxes" shall mean the Real Estate Taxes for the Comparative Tax Year.
(e)The term "Excluded Amounts" shall mean (w) any taxes imposed on Landlord's income, (x) franchise, estate, inheritance, capital stock, excise, excess profits, gift, payroll or stamp taxes imposed on Landlord, (y) any transfer taxes or mortgage taxes that are imposed on Landlord in connection with the conveyance of the Real Property or granting or recording a mortgage lien thereon, and (z) any other similar taxes imposed on Landlord.
(f)The term "Real Estate Taxes" shall mean the total of all taxes, fees and special or other assessments levied, assessed or imposed at any time by any Governmental Authority upon or against the Real Property (including, without limitation, any taxes, fees and assessments that are levied based on the use of water or energy by Landlord and/or the Building provided they are not included in Expenses). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Real Estate Taxes shall be calculated without taking into account (i) any discount that Landlord receives by virtue of any early payment of Real Estate Taxes, (ii) any penalties or interest that the applicable Governmental Authority imposes for the late payment of such real estate taxes or assessments, (iii) any abatement, exemption, deferral or credit of Real Estate Taxes to which the Real Property is entitled to, or (iv) any Excluded Amounts. If because of any change in the taxation of real estate or in the taxing authority, or for any other reason, any other tax or assessment, however denominated (including, without limitation, any franchise, income, profits, sales, use, occupancy, gross receipts or rental tax), is imposed upon the Real Property, the owner thereof, or the occupancy, rents or income derived therefrom, in substitution in whole or in part for the Real Estate Taxes, or in lieu of additions to or increases of said Real Estate Taxes (whether or not the enabling legislation states that such tax is in substitution in whole or in part for the Real Estate Taxes, or in lieu of additions to or increases of said Real Estate Taxes), then such other tax or assessment to the extent substituted shall be included within the definition of Real Estate Taxes for the purposes hereof. As to special assessments which are payable over a period of time extending beyond the Term, only a pro rata portion thereof covering the portion of the Term unexpired at the time of the imposition of such assessment, shall be included in Real Estate Taxes. If by law, any assessment may be paid in installments, then, for the purposes hereof (i) such assessment shall be deemed to have been payable in the maximum number of installments permitted by law and (ii) there shall be included in Real Estate Taxes, for the Base Tax Year and each Comparative Tax Year in which such installments may be paid, the installments of such assessment so becoming payable during such Comparative Tax Year, together with interest payable during such Comparative Tax Year in respect of any such installment.
(g)The term "Tax Payment" shall mean, with respect to any Comparative Tax Year, the product obtained by multiplying (i) the excess of (A) the applicable Comparative Year Taxes, over (B) the Base Year Taxes, by (ii) Tenant's Tax Share.
(h)The term "Tax Year" means each period from July 1 through June 30 (or such other period as hereinafter may be duly adopted by the Governmental Authority then imposing Real Estate Taxes as its fiscal year for real estate tax purposes).
(i)The term "Tenant's Tax Share" shall mean (A) with respect to the 2nd/3rd Floor Premises, 5.199% which represents a fraction, the numerator of which is the rentable square foot area of the 2nd/3rd Floor Premises (25,212) and the denominator of which is the rentable square foot area of the Building (484,927) as of the date hereof, (B) with respect to the 9th Floor Premises, 4.970% which represents a fraction, the numerator of which is the rentable square foot area of the 9th Floor Premises (24,099) and the denominator of which is the rentable square foot area of the Building (484,927) as of the date hereof, and (C) with respect to the 20th Floor Premises, 4.385% which represents a fraction, the numerator of which is the rentable square foot area of the 20th Floor Premises (21,262) and the denominator of which is the rentable square foot area of the Building (484,927) as of the date hereof.
(ii)

(a)Subject to the terms of this Section 2.D., Tenant shall pay the Tax Payment to Landlord, as Additional Rent. Before or after the start of each Comparative Tax Year, Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a statement of the Comparative Year Taxes, and a statement of the Base Year Taxes. If the Comparative Year Taxes exceed the Base Year Taxes, an amount equal to the Tax Payment shall be due from Tenant to Landlord, and such Additional Rent shall be payable by Tenant to Landlord in equal monthly installments each equal to one-twelfth (1/12th) of the Tax Payment, each payable with the monthly installment of Fixed Annual Rent. If such statement is tendered to Tenant after the commencement of any Comparative Tax Year, Tenant shall pay to Landlord within thirty (30) days after such statement is tendered, a lump sum equal to the product resulting from multiplying the Tax Payment, by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of full and partial months elapsed from the commencement of the relevant Comparative Tax Year and the denominator of which is twelve (12). Thereafter, Tenant shall commence paying the monthly installments of the Tax Payment with the next installment of Fixed Annual Rent next due and continue paying the same on a monthly basis in accordance with the terms hereof until a subsequent statement with respect thereto is rendered by Landlord.
(b)Should the Base Year Taxes be reduced by final determination of legal or administrative proceedings, settlement or otherwise, then the Base Year Taxes shall be correspondingly revised, the Additional Rent theretofore paid or payable hereunder for all Comparative Tax Years shall be recomputed on the basis of such reduction, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord as Additional Rent, within thirty (30) days after being billed therefor, any deficiency between the amount of such Additional Rent as theretofore computed and the amount thereof due as the result of such recomputations.
(c)If Tenant shall have made a payment of Additional Rent under this Section 2.D and Landlord shall receive during the Term a refund of any portion of the Real Estate Taxes paid for any Comparative Tax Year after the Base Tax Year on which such payment of Additional Rent shall have been based, as a result of a reduction of such Real Estate Taxes by final determination of legal proceedings, settlement or otherwise, Landlord shall, promptly after receiving the refund, credit to Tenant, Tenant's Tax Share of the refund less Tenant's Tax Share of expenses (including reasonable attorneys', consultants' and appraisers' fees) incurred by Landlord in connection with any such application, settlement, negotiation or proceeding (unless previously included in Real Estate Taxes for the Comparative Tax Year to which such expenses relate). If prior to the payment of Real Estate Taxes for any Comparative Tax Year, Landlord shall have obtained a reduction of that Comparative Tax Year's assessed valuation of the Real Property, and therefore of said Real Estate Taxes, then the Real Estate Taxes for that Comparative Tax Year shall be deemed to include the amount of Landlord's expenses in obtaining such reduction in assessed valuation, including reasonable attorneys', consultants' and appraisers' fees. If (i) Tenant is entitled to a credit pursuant to this subparagraph (c), and (ii) the Expiration Date occurs prior to the date that such credit is exhausted, then Landlord shall pay to Tenant the unused portion of such credit (less any amounts that may then remain due and payable pursuant to the terms of this Lease) on or prior to the thirtieth (30th) day after the Expiration Date (and Landlord's obligation to make such payment shall survive the Expiration Date). Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, Landlord shall have no obligation to credit or refund to Tenant any amounts paid hereunder which were paid by or on behalf of a Person other than Tenant (i.e. a predecessor tenant under this Lease), other than an assignee under a transaction as to which Landlord’s consent was not required.
(d)Additionally, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, within thirty (30) days after demand, a sum equal to Tenant's Tax Share of any business improvement district assessment (whether currently existing or established at any time hereafter) payable with respect to or imposed upon Landlord and/or the Real Property in any year.
(e)Tenant hereby agrees to comply and cooperate with Landlord's efforts, if any, to obtain any current or future tax incentive benefits, exemptions or abatements which Landlord may now or hereafter be entitled to at law or otherwise.
(f)Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, provided that no Default has then occurred and is continuing, Tenant shall have no obligation to make any payments on account of escalations in Real Estate Taxes (A) with respect to the 9th Floor Premises, with respect to periods prior to the 9th Floor Rent Commencement Date,
12
#152719409_v7



and (B) with respect to the 20th Floor Premises, with respect to periods prior to the 20th Floor Rent Commencement Date.
(g)Any delay or failure of Landlord in billing or tendering any invoice or statement provided for in this Section 2.D for all or any portion of any amount payable for Real Estate Taxes shall not constitute a waiver of or in any way impair (i) Landlord’s right to bill Tenant at any subsequent time (during or subsequent to the Term) retroactively for the entire amount so unbilled (which previously unbilled amount shall be payable within thirty (30) days after demand therefor), and to collect any such amount or (ii) Tenant’s continuing obligation to pay the same hereunder, which obligation shall survive the Expiration Date; provided however, notwithstanding any of the foregoing, Landlord shall not have the right to bill Tenant, nor shall Tenant have an obligation to pay any Additional Rent provided for in this Section 2.D if and to the extent that Landlord fails to bill Tenant for more than twenty-four (24) months following the Tax Closure Date (as defined herein) for the Comparative Tax Year in which the applicable Real Estate Taxes were incurred. The “Real Estate Taxes” shall mean, for any Comparative Tax Year, the date upon which all tax reduction proceedings in respect of Real Estate Taxes for the Tax Years occurring during such Comparative Tax Year shall have been finally resolved (or, if no such proceedings shall have been timely instituted for any Tax Year occurring during such Comparative Tax Year, then the date upon which the right to bring such proceedings shall have lapsed).
E.No Right to Apply Security: Tenant shall not have the right to apply any security deposited to assure Tenant's faithful performance of Tenant's obligation hereunder to the payment of any installment of Fixed Annual Rent or Additional Rent.
F.No Reduction in Fixed Annual Rent, Etc.: In no event shall the Fixed Annual Rent under this Lease be reduced by virtue of any decrease in the amount of any Additional Rent payment under this Article or any other provision of this Lease.
G.Failure to Pay Rental in Full: If Landlord receives from Tenant any payment less than the total Rental then due and owing pursuant to this Lease, Tenant hereby waives its right, if any, to designate the items to which such payment shall be applied and agrees that Landlord in its sole discretion may apply such payment in whole or in part to any Fixed Annual Rent, Escalation Rent, or any other item of Rental payable hereunder or to any combination thereof then due and payable hereunder; it being understood and agreed that the foregoing shall not limit or impair Landlord's rights or remedies in the event of any Default.
H.Payment of Rental by Another Person: Unless Landlord shall otherwise expressly agree in writing, acceptance of any portion of the Rental from any Person other than Tenant shall not relieve Tenant of any of its other obligations under this Lease, including the obligation to pay other Rental, and Landlord shall have the right at any time, upon notice to Tenant, to require Tenant (rather than someone other than Tenant) to pay the Rental payable hereunder directly to Landlord. Furthermore, such acceptance of Rental shall not be deemed to constitute an assignment of this Lease, a subletting of the Premises or Landlord's consent to an assignment of this Lease or a subletting or other occupancy of the Premises by any Person other than Tenant, nor a waiver of any of Landlord's rights or Tenant's obligations under this Lease.
I.Partial Comparative Year: If any Applicable Commencement Date shall occur during a Comparative Year or a Comparative Tax Year commencing prior to the Term applicable thereto, then the Additional Rent due under any paragraph of this Article 2 for such first Comparative Year or Comparative Tax Year (as the case may be) shall be prorated based upon the length of time that the Term will be in existence during such first Comparative Year or Comparative Tax Year, as the case may be. Subject to the provisions of Article 6 hereof, if the Expiration Date is not the last day of a Comparative Tax Year or the last day of a Comparative Year, then upon the Expiration Date, the Additional Rent due under any paragraph of this Article 2 shall be prorated based upon the length of time that the Term will be in existence during such Comparative Year or Comparative Tax Year, as the case may be and such prorated amount shall immediately become due and payable by Tenant to Landlord, if it was not theretofore already billed and paid. Landlord shall, as soon as reasonably practicable, compute the Additional Rent due from Tenant, as aforesaid, which computations shall either be based on the particular Comparative Year's or Comparative Tax Year's actual figures or be estimated based upon the most recent statements theretofore prepared by Landlord and furnished to Tenant as may be required under any paragraph in this Article. If an estimate is used, then Landlord shall cause statements to be prepared on the basis of the particular Comparative Year's or Comparative Tax Year's actual figures promptly after they are available, and thereupon, Landlord and Tenant shall make appropriate adjustments of any estimated payments theretofore made.

C.Submetering:
(i)For the purposes of this Section 3.C., the following definitions shall apply:
(a)"Landlord’s Cost" for redistributed electricity means the product of (1) Landlord’s Cost Rates for the relevant Utility Billing Period multiplied by (2) Tenant’s electricity consumption (i.e., energy and demand) based on the meter readings referred to below.
(b)"Landlord’s Cost Rates" means the sum of "Landlord’s Electricity Consumption Cost" and "Landlord’s Electricity Demand Cost".
(c)"Landlord’s Electricity Consumption," for any given Utility Billing Period means the number of kilowatt-hours of electricity consumed in and for the Building (including common areas, tenantable areas and mechanical areas) during said Utility Billing Period, as indicated on the applicable utility bills.
(d)"Landlord’s Electricity Consumption Cost," (Landlord’s cost per KWH) for any given Utility Billing Period means the amount arrived at by dividing (x) Landlord’s KWH cost, as imposed by the utility company (inclusive of any taxes, including any taxes included in the computation of said utility bills) for Landlord’s Electricity Consumption for said Utility Billing Period, inclusive of any fuel adjustments or rate adjustments contained in said utility bill allocable to Landlord’s Electricity Consumption, by (y) Landlord’s Electricity Consumption (KWH) as indicated on said bills.
(e)"Landlord’s Electricity Demand" for any given Utility Billing Period means the number of kilowatts of electricity demanded in and for the Building (including, without limitation, common areas, tenantable areas and mechanical areas) during said Utility Billing Period, as indicated on the applicable utility bill.
(f)"Landlord’s Electricity Demand Cost" (Landlord’s Cost per KW) for any given Utility Billing Period means the amount arrived at by dividing (x) Landlord’s KW cost, as imposed by the utility company (inclusive of any taxes, including any taxes included in the computation of said utility bill) for Landlord’s Electricity Demand for said Utility Billing Period, inclusive of any rate adjustments allocable to Landlord’s Electricity Demand (provided that same have not been included in the computation of Landlord’s Electricity Consumption Cost), by (y) Landlord’s Electricity Demand (KW) as indicated on said bill.
(g)"Utility Billing Period" means the respective period of electricity consumption and demand for which Landlord is charged on each successive bill from the utility company furnishing electricity to the Building.
(ii)Subject to the terms of this Lease, Landlord shall, during the Term, provide electricity to each portion of the Premises (with Landlord providing an average demand load of four (4) watts of electricity per usable square foot of the Premises exclusive of the electrical capacity that is required to operate the base Building HVAC system (the "Maximum Capacity"), which shall be the maximum electric service Landlord shall be obligated to redistribute to the Premises) on a submetering basis. Tenant covenants and agrees to purchase the same from Landlord or Landlord’s designated agent at Landlord’s Cost plus six percent (6%) thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, if during the Term, Tenant demonstrates to Landlord’s reasonable satisfaction (as evidenced by a load letter reasonably acceptable to Landlord and prepared by an electrical consultant reasonably acceptable to Landlord) that it requires electrical capacity in excess of that then being provided by Landlord to Tenant, then Landlord, at Landlord’s sole cost and expenses, shall make available to Tenant the additional electricity demonstrated by Tenant to be required by it (it being agreed that such increase in the Maximum Capacity pursuant to the provision hereof shall be subject to any reduction pursuant to Section 3.D(vi) below); provided, however, that in no event shall the electrical capacity being provided by Landlord to Tenant with respect to any portions of the Premises (i.e., the Maximum Capacity) exceed an average demand load of six (6) watts of electricity per usable square foot of the Premises exclusive of the electrical capacity that is required to operate the base Building HVAC system.

Where more than one meter measures the service of Tenant in the Building, the KWH and KW recorded by each meter shall be added and the aggregate shall be billed as if measured by a single meter. Bills therefor shall be rendered at such times as Landlord may elect and the amount, as computed from a meter or meters and determined by a reputable electrical consultant, selected by Landlord ("Landlord's Electrical Consultant") in accordance with this Article 3, shall be deemed to be, and be paid as, Additional Rent. For purposes of determining Landlord’s Electricity Consumption Cost and Landlord’s Electricity Demand Cost, each amount appearing on any utility bill for demand, energy, fuel or rate adjustments shall be taken into account (where it cannot be determined from the utility bill whether such amount relates to consumption or to demand, it shall be deemed to relate to demand).
(iii)If the submeter or submeters to measure Tenant’s KW and KWH has not or have not been installed, connected and/or is not or are not yet functioning, Tenant shall pay for the distribution of electric power and use of Landlord’s facilities to provide electrical power to the Premises, a charge equal to the amount that results from (a) multiplying One and 50/100 Dollars ($1.50) by the number of rentable square feet within the Premises, (b) dividing such result by 365 and (c) multiplying the result of (b) by the number of days until the date on which the appropriate submeter(s) are installed, connected and functioning.
D.General Conditions:
(i)All determinations (which may be presented or communicated in the form of an invoice, report, survey or letter notification to Tenant) by Landlord's Electrical Consultant shall be binding and conclusive on Tenant from and after the delivery of a copy of each presentation or communication of the relevant determination to Tenant, unless, within ninety (90) days after delivery thereof, time being of the essence, Tenant notifies Landlord that Tenant disputes such determination (such notice, an "Electricity Dispute Notice"). If Tenant so disputes any such determination, within thirty (30) days following the date Tenant gives Landlord the Electricity Dispute Notice, Tenant shall, at Tenant's own cost and expense, obtain from a reputable, independent electrical consultant Tenant’s own determination in accordance with the provisions of this Article 3 and deliver a copy of such determination (showing all calculations, data and describing all assumptions and criteria used to make such determination) to Landlord. Tenant's consultant and Landlord's Electrical Consultant then shall seek to agree on the disputed items set forth in the Electricity Dispute Notice. If they cannot agree within thirty (30) days after the day Tenant gives Landlord Tenant’s determination as provided above, Landlord and Tenant shall choose a third reputable electrical consultant, whose cost shall be shared equally by the parties, to make similar determinations that shall be controlling. If Landlord and Tenant cannot agree on such third consultant within ten (10) days, then either party may apply to the Supreme Court in the County of New York for such appointment. TENANT AGREES THAT IF TENANT SHALL FAIL TO DISPUTE WITHIN THE AFORESAID NINETY (90) DAY PERIOD ANY DETERMINATION BY LANDLORD’S ELECTRICAL CONSULTANT, OR SHALL FAIL TO COMPLY WITH ANY OTHER TIME PERIOD SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION 3.D (E.G., THE THIRTY (30) DAY PERIOD TO DELIVER TENANT’S OWN DETERMINATION AS AFORESAID), TIME BEING OF THE ESSENCE, TENANT SHALL HAVE IRREVOCABLY AND CONCLUSIVELY WAIVED THE RIGHT TO DISPUTE THE RELEVANT DETERMINATION. THE FACT THAT LANDLORD’S ELECTRICAL CONSULTANT IS OR HAS BEEN EMPLOYED BY OR IS OR HAS BEEN RETAINED BY LANDLORD OR LANDLORD’S AFFILIATES TO PERFORM SERVICES FOR IT OR THEM (AND IRRESPECTIVE OF HOWEVER LONG SUCH RELATIONSHIP MAY HAVE EXISTED), SHALL NOT BE A REASON TO DISPUTE (OR BE A DEFENSE TO) ANY DETERMINATION MADE BY SUCH LANDLORD’S ELECTRICAL CONSULTANT OR DISQUALIFY LANDLORD’S CONSULTANT FROM PERFORMING ANY ACT OR SERVICE CONTEMPLATED BY THIS ARTICLE 3.
(ii)As a condition to Tenant’s right to initiate and maintain any such dispute of any such determination, bill or charge made or rendered by or for the benefit of Landlord, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount of Additional Rent in accordance with the determinations made by Landlord's Electrical Consultant or pursuant to any other Landlord’s bill until any such dispute has been finally determined in accordance with procedures specified in this Section 3.D. If the controlling determinations differ from Landlord's Electrical Consultant or Landlord’s bill or charge, then the parties shall promptly make adjustment for any deficiency owed by Tenant or overage paid by Tenant. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Tenant shall not have the right to initiate any dispute hereunder during the period that a monetary default or material non-monetary default with respect to which Tenant has been given notice has occurred and is continuing.
(iii)At the option of Landlord, Tenant agrees to purchase from Landlord or its agents (at commercially reasonable rates) all lamps and bulbs used in the Premises and to pay for the cost of installation thereof (except for any lamps and bulbs installed as part of Landlord’s Work with respect to the 9th Floor Premises and the 20th Floor Premises, which shall be at Landlord’s sole cost and expense except as otherwise provided in Article 23 to the contrary). Landlord shall install, repair, maintain and replace (as necessary) any meter or sub-meter serving the Premises at Landlord’s sole cost and expense; provided, however, the costs thereof shall be payable by Tenant as Additional Rent hereunder if the required repairs, maintenance or replacement is due to Tenant’s negligence, willful misconduct or misuse of such meters or sub-meters. If all or part of the submetering
15
#152719409_v7



Additional Rent payable in accordance with this Article 3 becomes uncollectable or reduced or refunded by virtue of any Requirements, the parties agree that, at Landlord's option, in lieu of submetering Additional Rent, and in consideration of Tenant's use of the Building's electrical distribution system and receipt of redistributed electricity and payment by Landlord of consultants' fees and other redistribution costs, the Fixed Annual Rent shall be increased by an "alternative charge" which shall be an amount equal to the average cost per rentable square foot of the Premises per year, as was paid by Tenant for electricity on a submetered basis during the immediately preceding twelve (12) month period (unless Tenant was not operating its business in the Premises for the duration of the immediately preceding twelve (12) month period, in which case, the aforesaid "alternative charge" shall be an amount equal to the average cost per rentable square foot as was paid for comparable sized office tenants in comparable industries during the immediately preceding twelve (12) months) which amount shall be increased in the same percentage as any increases in the actual cost to Landlord for electricity for the entire Building subsequent thereto because of electric rate or service classification or market price changes, as hereinabove provided. Notwithstanding anything herein set forth to the contrary, Additional Rent under this Article 3 shall commence on the Applicable Commencement Date for each portion of the Premises.
(iv)Subject to Article 22 and Section 42.G. hereof, Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any failure or defect in the supply or character of electricity furnished to the Building, except to the extent that such failure or defect results from Landlord's negligence or willful misconduct. Tenant covenants and agrees that at all times its use of electric current shall never exceed (x) the Maximum Capacity or (y) the capacity of existing feeders to the Building or the risers or wiring installation. Tenant agrees not to connect any additional electrical equipment to the Building electric distribution system which shall increase consumption or demand beyond the Maximum Capacity, and the capacity and rating of the electrical system directly servicing the Premises. The parties acknowledge that they understand that it is anticipated that electric rates, charges, etc., may be changed by virtue of time-of-day rates, or other methods of billing, electricity purchases and the redistribution thereof, and fluctuations in the market price of electricity, and that the references in the foregoing paragraphs to changes in methods of or rules on billing are intended to include any such change. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 3.D, in no event is the submetering Additional Rent, or any "alternative charge", to be less than an amount equal to the total of Landlord's payments to public utilities and/or others for the electricity consumed by Tenant (and any taxes on Landlord's purchase of the same or on redistribution of same) plus six (6%) percent.
(v)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, Landlord reserves the right to terminate the furnishing of electricity on a submetering basis, at any time if and to the extent required by applicable Requirements, in which event Landlord shall notify Tenant thereof and Tenant shall make application directly to the public utility and/or other providers for Tenant's entire separate supply of electric current and Landlord shall permit its wires and conduits, to the extent available and safely capable, to be used for such purpose and only to the extent of Tenant's then authorized demand load. Any meters, risers, or other equipment or connections necessary to enable Tenant to obtain electric current directly from such utility shall be installed at Tenant's sole cost and expense, subject to and in accordance with all applicable provisions of this Lease; it being expressly understood that Landlord shall have no obligations or liability with respect to any such meters, risers, or other equipment or connections unless Landlord voluntarily discontinues furnishing electricity to the Premises pursuant to this subclause (v) (and is not required to discontinue the same due to Requirements, Unavoidable Delay or otherwise). Only rigid conduit or electricity metal tubing (EMT) will be allowed. If Landlord is required by any Requirement to discontinue or otherwise discontinues furnishing electricity to the Premises as contemplated by this Lease, then this Lease shall continue in full force and effect and shall be unaffected thereby, except that from and after the effective date of any such Requirement or such later date that Landlord discontinues providing electricity to Tenant, as the case may be, (x) Landlord shall not be obligated to furnish electricity to the Premises, and (y) Tenant shall not be obligated to pay to Landlord the charges for electricity as described in this Article 3. Landlord shall provide Tenant with notice at least thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of any such Requirement or such earlier date as may be mandated by such Requirement. Landlord shall not discontinue furnishing electricity to the Premises as contemplated by this Section 3.D(v) (to the extent permitted by applicable Requirements) until Tenant obtains electric service directly from the utility company; it being understood, however, that Tenant shall use Tenant's diligent efforts to obtain electricity for the Premises directly from the utility company as contemplated herein.
(vi)Landlord may, from time to time, following the expiration of the twelfth (12th) full month of the Term with respect to each portion of the Premises (but not more frequently than one (1) time in any twelve (12) month period), cause Landlord’s Electrical Consultant to determine Tenant’s electrical requirements for the Premises over the twelve (12) months immediately preceding each such determination. If Landlord’s Electrical Consultant shall determine that Tenant’s maximum demand over a reasonable period of time shall not have exceeded the Maximum Capacity (the difference between the Maximum Capacity and such highest demand being the "excess electrical capacity"), then Landlord may, in its sole discretion and at its sole cost and expense, at any time following the thirtieth (30th) day after giving Tenant notice (hereinafter referred to as the "Electric Recapture Notice") of Landlord’s intent to do so, reduce the available electric service to the Premises so that the service to be provided shall be not less (but need not be more) than the capacity represented by the highest demand recorded or
16
#152719409_v7



determined to have been required by Tenant during such twelve (12) month period, unless Tenant shall have objected to such reduction in the manner hereinafter provided within such thirty (30) day period, time being of the essence. The Electric Recapture Notice shall be (a) given not later than six (6) months following the determination of such excess electrical capacity and (b) accompanied by an explanation in reasonable detail of how the determination of such excess electrical capacity was made. Any objection to such reduction of all or any portion of excess electrical capacity shall be in writing specifying in reasonable detail the reasons for such objection, including, without limitation, calculations of Tenant’s electrical requirements prepared by a licensed electrical engineer. Any such dispute shall be resolved pursuant to the dispute resolution provisions of Section 3.D.(i) above. If it then shall be determined that excess electrical capacity exists, then Landlord, at Landlord's expense, may then take such steps as it deems appropriate to effect such reduction in electric service. Such reduction may be effected by Landlord replacing or otherwise changing any component of the electrical system serving the Premises. From and after the date of such reduction, the Maximum Capacity shall be deemed reduced by the excess electrical capacity for all purposes of this Lease; provided, however, that if Tenant subsequently demonstrates to Landlord’s reasonable satisfaction (as evidenced by a load letter reasonably acceptable to Landlord and prepared by an electrical consultant reasonably acceptable to Landlord) that it requires electrical capacity in excess of that then being provided by Landlord to Tenant, then Landlord, at Landlord’s sole cost and expenses, shall again make available to Tenant the additional electricity demonstrated by Tenant to be required by it, subject, however, to the Maximum Capacity that Landlord has agreed to provide pursuant to this Article 3. Tenant acknowledges that the purpose of this subsection (vi) is to foster conservation of electric consumption in the Building and to reserve electric capacity in the Building for future planning and leasing and that Landlord’s recapturing such excess capacity is a reasonable means to accomplish such goals. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if at any time the electrical service available to the Premises shall exceed the Maximum Capacity, Landlord may at any time (without being subject to dispute and irrespective of Tenant’s actual use or peak demand) reduce the electric service available to the Premises, provided that the electric service shall not be less than the Maximum Capacity. If such required electric service shall also result in excess electrical capacity, Landlord may further reduce such electric service pursuant to the terms of the preceding provisions of this subsection (vi). Nothing contained in this Section 3.D.(vi) (including, without limitation, references herein to excess electrical capacity) shall be construed to grant Tenant permission or any rights to use any electrical capacity in excess of the Maximum Capacity.

(vii)Tenant acknowledges that amounts payable pursuant to this Article 3 are not intended merely to reimburse Landlord for Landlord’s actual costs.
(viii) Notwithstanding anything herein set forth to the contrary, if permitted by Requirements, Landlord may (x) contract separately with one or more other providers to provide one or more of the component services which together make up the entire package of electric service (e.g., transmission, generation, distribution and ancillary services) to the Building or (y) make other arrangements to transmit, generate and/or distribute electricity to satisfy all or a portion of the requirements of the Building (any such other provider or Landlord (or Landlord's designee), if Landlord makes such arrangements, as the case may be, is hereinafter referred to as an "Alternative Service Provider"); provided, however, that in either event, (i), the charges imposed by such Alternative Service Provider shall be included in the calculation of Landlord's Electricity Consumption Cost and Landlord's Electricity Demand Cost to the extent that such charges do not exceed the charges that Landlord would have otherwise incurred if Landlord had made arrangements to satisfy all of the Building’s electrical requirements from a local electrical energy distribution company and a competitive energy provider and (ii) references throughout this Lease to "utility company" or the "public utility" shall be deemed to refer to such Alternative Service Provider. If Landlord elects to contract with another Alternative Service Provider, Tenant shall cooperate with Landlord and each such Alternative Service Provider to effect any change to the method or means of providing and distributing electricity service to the Premises or any other portion of the Building by reason of such change in the provision of electricity. Such cooperation shall include but not be limited to providing Landlord or any such Alternative Service Provider and either of their respective designees reasonable access to the Premises at reasonable times and to all wiring, conduit, lines, feeders, cable, electricity panel boxes and any other component of the electrical distribution system within or adjacent to the Premises. Subject to Article 22 and Section 42.G. hereof, Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any loss or damage or expense which Tenant may sustain or incur if such change shall interfere with Tenant’s business except to the extent that loss or damage or expense results from Landlord's negligence or willful misconduct, nor shall any such interference, change, interruption, constitute an actual or constructive eviction of Tenant; provided, however, that Landlord shall (or shall cause any Alternative Service Provider) to repair any damage to the Premises caused by Landlord’s (or such Alternative Service Provider’s) access to the Premises pursuant to the terms of this clause (viii).
(ix)Landlord reserves the right to install a separate submeter or submeter(s) on any high electrical load consuming equipment (e.g. heavy server loads connected to an uninterrupted power supply) to separately measure Tenant’s demand for and consumption of electricity in connection therewith; it being understood, that if any such separate submeter is required, Landlord shall notify Tenant thereof and thereafter, Landlord shall install the same, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all of
17
#152719409_v7



Landlord's actual and reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection therewith within thirty (30) days following receipt of Landlord’s invoice therefor. For the avoidance of any doubt, Tenant shall continue to pay for Tenant’s demand for and consumption of electricity in connection with any such high electrical load consuming equipment as contemplated in Section 3.C. hereof.

4.ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
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, nor underlet, or suffer or permit the Premises or any part thereof to be used or occupied by others, without the prior written consent of Landlord in each instance, which consent shall be granted or withheld by Landlord in accordance with the provisions of Sections 4.D. hereof and the other provisions of this Article 4. Subject to Section 4.H. hereof, the direct or indirect transfer of the beneficial or record ownership of (i) a majority of the issued and outstanding capital stock of any corporate tenant of this Lease or (ii) a majority of the total equity or voting interests or rights in any partnership or limited liability company tenant or any other form of entity or organization, however accomplished, and whether in a single transaction or in a series of related or unrelated transactions, or the conversion of a tenant entity to another form of entity, including, without limitation, a limited liability company or a limited liability partnership (unless such conversion does not result in a change of Control), or any transfer of Control (as hereinafter defined) of any entity shall, in each case, be deemed an assignment of this Lease or of such sublease. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, as Tenant is currently a publicly-traded entity, the transfer of outstanding capital stock of Tenant (or any corporate tenant), for purposes of this Article, shall not include any sale of such stock effected through the "over-the-counter market" or through any recognized stock exchange (provided the foregoing shall not apply to transfers by persons deemed "insiders" within the meaning of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as amended provided the same is made for an independent business purposes and not primarily to circumvent Landlord’s rights hereunder). Subject to Section 4.I hereof, the merger or consolidation of a tenant, whether a corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other form of entity or organization (other than through the “over-the-counter market”), shall be deemed an assignment of this Lease. If this Lease be assigned, or if the Premises or any part thereof be underlet or occupied by anybody other than Tenant, Landlord may, upon the effective date of such assignment, or, with respect to an underletting, after a Default by Tenant, collect rent from the assignee, undertenant or occupant, and apply the net amount collected to the Rental herein reserved, but no assignment, underletting, occupancy or collection shall be deemed a waiver of the provisions hereof, the acceptance of the assignee, undertenant or occupant as tenant, or a release of Tenant from the further performance by Tenant of covenants on the part of Tenant herein contained. Any agreement pursuant to which (x) Tenant is relieved from the obligation to pay, or a third party agrees to pay on Tenant’s behalf, all or a part of the Fixed Annual Rent or Additional Rent under this Lease, and/or (y) such third party undertakes or is granted any right to assign or attempt to assign this Lease or sublet or attempt to sublet all or any portion of the Premises, shall be deemed an assignment of this Lease or a sublease, as applicable, which shall be subject to the provisions of this Article 4. The consent by Landlord to an assignment or underletting shall not in any way be construed to relieve Tenant from obtaining the express consent in writing of Landlord to any further assignment or underletting. In no event shall any permitted subtenant assign or encumber its sublease or 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 or occupied by others (except with respect to the first such assignment of a sublease by a permitted subtenant or the first such sub-sublease, in which case Landlord’s consent thereto shall be granted or withheld in accordance with the provisions of this Article 4 as if such sub-sublease or assignment of a sublease was being made by Tenant). A modification, amendment or extension of a sublease (but not a termination) shall be deemed a sublease (other than a modification, amendment or extension expressly set forth in such sublease and such sublease has previously been approved by Landlord). No assignment or subletting shall be made by the legal representatives of Tenant or by any person to whom Tenant's interest under this Lease passes by operation of law, except in compliance with the provisions of this Article 4. For the purposes of this Article, an "interest" shall mean an estate, license, easement, use, profit or other claim with respect to real property or a right to participate, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, nominees, trustees or agents, in the decision making respecting any entity or other organization or any of the profits, losses, dividends, distributions, income, gain, losses or capital of any entity or other organization.
B.
(i)Except as otherwise expressly set forth in Sections 4.F, G, H I and T hereof, if Tenant desires to assign this Lease or to sublet all or any portion of the Premises, Tenant (shall notify Landlord of such proposed transaction (each, a "Proposed Transfer"), which notice (the "Transfer Notice") must (I) reference this Section 4.B. and indicate that such notice constitutes a Transfer Notice, (II) set forth a description of the Premises (or the portion thereof) that is involved in the Proposed Transfer, (III) if the Proposed Transfer is an assignment of this Lease or a sublease of all or any portion of the Premises by Tenant, include either (X) a final, fully negotiated term sheet (a "Term Sheet") executed by Tenant and the proposed assignee or sublessee (as applicable) setting forth all of the material terms and conditions of such Proposed Transfer including, without limitation, (i) the proposed sublet term (if applicable), (ii) the rent and other consideration to be paid to Tenant in connection with the Proposed
18
#152719409_v7



Transfer, (iii) the various concessions offered by Tenant to the proposed transferee (e.g., rent abatements, moving allowances, base building work, alterations and tenant improvement allowances), and (iv) the effective or commencement date of the Proposed Transfer (which date shall not be earlier than thirty (30) days nor later than one hundred eighty (180) days after Landlord's receipt of the Transfer Notice), or (Y) a final, fully executed copy of the applicable sublease or assignment (the commencement date or effective date of which shall not be earlier than thirty (30) days nor later than one hundred eighty (180) days after Landlord's receipt of the Transfer Notice), (IV) if the Proposed Transfer is an assignment of a sublease or a further sublease of all or any portion of a sublet premises, include a final, fully executed copy of the applicable assignment or sublease agreement, as the case may be (the commencement date or effective date of which shall not be earlier than thirty (30) days nor later than one hundred eighty (180) days after Landlord's receipt of the Transfer Notice) (i.e. a Term Sheet is not acceptable). Any Transfer Notice must also include (1) reasonably satisfactory information as to the nature and character of the business of the proposed transferee, and as to the nature of its proposed use of the space, (2) a detailed calculation confirming the amount of profit, if any, that the applicable Proposed Transfer is expected to generate as contemplated in Section 4.J. hereof, or in the alternative, a written certification that the Proposed Transfer will not generate any profit, and (3) banking, financial or other credit information relating to the proposed transferee reasonably sufficient to enable Landlord to determine the financial responsibility and character of the proposed transferee.
(ii)If the Proposed Transfer described in the Transfer Notice is a bona fide intention to (w) assign this Lease, (x) sublet all or substantially all of the Premises for all or substantially all of the remainder of the Term, (y) assign any sublease covering all or substantially all of the Premises which extends for all or substantially all of the remainder of the Term, or (z) further sublet all or substantially all of the Premises for all or substantially all of the remainder of the Term, Landlord may then, by notice to such effect given within thirty (30) days after the receipt of Tenant's Transfer Notice (which includes all of the required deliverables set forth in Section 4.B.(i) hereof), terminate this Lease on the date which shall be the later to occur of (1) the effective date of the Proposed Transfer, as specified by Tenant in such Term Sheet (or as specified in the applicable assignment agreement sublease agreement, as the case may be), and (2) the date which is thirty (30) days following the date Landlord's termination notice is given (such later date, the "Recapture Termination Date"). Tenant shall then vacate and surrender the Premises on or before the Recapture Termination Date and the Term shall end on the Termination Date as if that were the original expiration date of the Term hereof, and neither Landlord nor Tenant shall have further obligations or liability hereunder, except for such obligations and liabilities as may expressly survive the expiration or termination of the Term. Tenant shall vacate the Premises and surrender possession thereof to Landlord, on or before the Recapture Termination Date, in broom clean condition, and otherwise in the condition required hereunder. For all purposes hereof, the term "all or substantially all of the remainder of the Term" when used throughout this Article 4 shall mean a term ending anytime during the last twelve (12) months of the Term.
(iii)If the Proposed Transfer is a bona fide intention to (x) sublet, in a single transaction, any portion of the Premises for all or substantially all of the remainder of the Term, (y) further sublet in a single transaction, any portion of the Premises for all or substantially all of the remainder of the Term, or (z) assign any sublease which covers any portion of the Premises for all or substantially all of the remainder of the Term (each, a "Proposed Partial Sublease"), then Landlord may, by notice to such effect given within thirty (30) days after the receipt of Tenant's Transfer Notice (which includes all of the required deliverables set forth in Section 4.B.(i) hereof), terminate this Lease with respect to only the space proposed to be subleased or further subleased, as the case may be (or with respect to only the space previously sublet if the Proposed Transfer is an assignment of a sublease) (such space, the "Deleted Portion"), on the date which shall be the later to occur of (1) the effective date of the Proposed Partial Sublease, as specified by Tenant in such Term Sheet (or as specified in the applicable assignment agreement, sublease agreement or further sublease agreement, as the case may be), and (2) the date which is thirty (30) days following the date Landlord's deletion notice is given (such later date, the "Deletion Date"). Upon such Deletion Date, the Fixed Annual Rent and Additional Rent due under this Lease shall be appropriately proportionately adjusted, and all other provisions of this Lease shall be deemed modified, so as to reflect the termination of this Lease with respect to the Deleted Portion only. Tenant shall vacate and surrender the Deleted Portion on or before the Deletion Date, in broom clean condition, and the term of the leasing of the Deleted Portion shall end on the Deletion Date as if that were the original Expiration Date of the leasing of such space and neither Landlord nor Tenant shall have any further obligations or liabilities with respect to the Deleted Portion, except for those which expressly survive the expiration or termination of the Term. Landlord shall accept the Deleted Portion "as is", except that Landlord, at Tenant's expense, shall perform all such work and make all such alterations as may be required (a) physically to demise the Deleted Portion from the remainder of the Premises (including, without limitation, separation of building systems and associated wiring, duct work and piping), and to permit lawful occupancy, and (b) if applicable, to make the floor properly and legally usable as a multi-tenanted floor, including, without limitation, any work needed to restore public corridors and bathrooms (using Building standard fixtures and finishes). Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for such costs as Additional Rent within thirty (30) days following receipt of Landlord's invoice, therefore, which shall include reasonable supporting documentation for the charges set forth herein. Tenant shall (or Tenant shall cause its subtenant) to reasonably
19
#152719409_v7



cooperate with Landlord in connection with any such work, including, without limitation, by providing Landlord and its contractors with such access to the remaining Premises as is necessary to perform such work.
(iv)If the Proposed Transfer described in the Transfer Notice is a bona fide intention to (x) sublet (or to further sublet), in a single transaction, all or any portion of the Premises or (y) assign any sublease, then Landlord may, by notice to such effect given within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Transfer Notice (which includes all of the required deliverables set forth in Section 4.B.(i) hereof), sublease (either directly or through its designee) the Premises or the applicable portion thereof involved in the Proposed Transfer (the Premises, or the applicable portion thereof, as the case may be, is hereinafter referred to as the "Leaseback Area") for the term specified in such Term Sheet (or as specified in the applicable assignment agreement, sublease agreement or further sublease agreement, as the case may be), and at Tenant's proposed sublease rental (including provisions relating to escalation rents), and except as otherwise provided herein, on the same terms, covenants and conditions, as are contained herein and as are allocable and applicable to the portion of the Premises to be covered by such subletting. The Transfer Notice shall specify the date when the Leaseback Area will be made available to Landlord (or its designee), which date shall be in no event earlier than thirty (30) days nor later than one hundred eighty (180) days following Landlord's receipt of the Transfer Notice (which includes all of the required deliverables set forth in Section 4.B.(i) hereof).

(v)If a sublease with Landlord or its designee is so made (as “Recapture Sublease”) it shall expressly:
(a)permit Landlord or its designee, at Landlord's option, to make further subleases of all or any part of the Leaseback Area and to make and authorize any and all changes, alterations, installations and improvements in such space as necessary or desirable, including, without limitation, the changes, alterations, installations and improvements if any, that the proposed sublease contemplated would be made to prepare the Leaseback Area for the transferee's initial occupancy or otherwise (such changes, alterations, installations and improvements contemplated in the proposed sublease, the "Proposed Sublease Alterations");
(b)provide that Tenant will at all times permit reasonably appropriate means of ingress to and egress from the Leaseback Area;
(c)negate any intention that the estate created under such Recapture Sublease be merged with any other estate held by either of the parties;
(d)except to the extent otherwise expressly set forth in the Term Sheet provided as part of the Transfer Notice (which terms of such Term Sheet shall be deemed material and shall be included in any sublease entered into by Tenant as a condition to Landlord’s consent thereto), provide that Landlord (or its designee) shall accept the Leaseback Area "as is" except that Landlord (or its designee), at Tenant's expense, shall perform all such work and make all such Alterations (as hereinafter defined) as may be required (i) to physically separate the Leaseback Area from the remainder of the Premises (including, without limitation, separation of building systems and associated wiring, duct work and piping) and to permit lawful occupancy and (ii) if applicable, to make the floor properly and legally usable as a multi-tenanted floor, including, without limitation, any work needed to restore public corridors and bathrooms (using Building standard fixtures and finishes), except to the extent Tenant otherwise pays Landlord for the cost of such work (or those portions thereof which Tenant has previously paid Landlord for pursuant to Section 4.B.(vii) hereof, as the case may be), as contemplated in Section 4.B.(ii) hereof, in which event Landlord shall perform such work, at Landlord's own cost and expense, and
(e)except to the extent otherwise expressly set forth in the Term Sheet provided as part of the Transfer Notice (which terms of such Term Sheet shall be deemed material and shall be included in any sublease entered into by Tenant as a condition to Landlord’s consent thereto), provide that at the expiration of the term of such Recapture Sublease, Tenant will accept the Leaseback Area in its then existing condition "as-is", casualty and ordinary wear and tear excepted and subject to the obligations of Landlord (or its designee) to restore only those changes, alterations, installations and improvements, if any, made by Landlord or its designee, which exceed the scope of the Proposed Sublease Alterations; it being expressly understood that subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Article 8 hereof, Tenant shall, at Tenant's sole cost and expense at the expiration of the term of this Lease, remove any Proposed Sublease Alterations that
20
#152719409_v7



Landlord or its designee elected to perform together with any and all demising walls erected in the Premises to separately demise the Leaseback Area and repair and restore in good and workmanlike manner any damage to the Premises and/or the Building caused by such removal. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, provided that the Recapture Sublease is for all or substantially all of the then-remaining term of this Lease (for the Leaseback Area), Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Landlord (or its designee) shall have no obligation to restore any changes, alterations, installations and improvements, if any, made by Landlord or its designee, regardless of whether the same exceed the scope of the Proposed Sublease Alterations, unless the same would have otherwise constituted Specialty Alterations hereunder for which Tenant would have otherwise been obligated to remove and restore (unless Landlord agrees to waive such removal and restoration in writing), and Landlord similarly acknowledges and agrees that Tenant shall have no obligation to restore any changes, alterations, installations or improvements, if any (including Proposed Sublease Alterations), made by Landlord or its designee which Landlord or its designee would not have been obligated to remove or restore hereunder.
(vi)Subject to the foregoing, performance by Landlord, or its designee, under a Recapture Sublease shall be deemed performance by Tenant of any similar obligation under this Lease and any default under any such Recapture 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 subtenant under such Recapture Sublease or is occasioned by or arises from any act or omission of any occupant holding under or pursuant to any such Recapture Sublease. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, provided that Tenant is not in default under the terms of this Lease beyond the expiration of any applicable notice and cure periods, if Landlord shall fail to timely make any payment required of Landlord under the Recapture Sublease after the expiration of any notice and cure periods provided for in the Recapture Sublease, then Tenant shall have the right to give Landlord a second notice requesting such payment and specifically referencing this Section 4.B.(vi) and if Landlord shall fail to make such payment within five (5) Business Days after receipt of such second (2nd) notice and provided Landlord has not disputed such payment, then Tenant shall be permitted to credit any unpaid amounts against the then next installment(s) of Fixed Annual Rent payable under this Lease.
(vii)For the avoidance of any doubt, the thirty (30) day time period set forth in Section 4.B.(ii), (iii) and (iv) for Landlord to exercise Landlord's applicable right of recapture, shall not commence unless and until Landlord receives the Transfer Notice together with all required documents (i.e. a Term Sheet or a fully executed sublease or assignment which complies with the terms hereof) and the information specified in Section 4.B.(i) hereof.
C.(i)    Simultaneously with Tenant's delivery of a Transfer Notice to Landlord with respect to a sublease or assignment, Tenant shall have the right to request Landlord's consent to the Proposed Transfer described therein by including an express request in bold and capital letters that provides: "THIS NOTICE CONSTITUTES BOTH A TRANSFER NOTICE AND A REQUEST FOR LANDLORD'S CONSENT TO THE PROPOSED TRANSFER DESCRIBED HEREIN". If Tenant makes such request and any such Transfer Notice includes a Term Sheet in lieu of a fully executed sublease or assignment as contemplated in this Article 4 (subject to the limitations set forth herein), if Landlord does not exercise its recapture rights set forth in Section 4.B. hereof, Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay Landlord's preliminary approval of the Proposed Transfer described in a Term Sheet, provided that the Proposed Transfer as described therein satisfies the requirements set forth in clauses (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi), (vii), (viii), (ix), (x), and (xi), of Section 4.D hereof. Landlord shall have a period of thirty (30) days from receipt of Tenant's Transfer Notice (which includes all of the required deliverables set forth in Section 4.B.(i) hereof) to respond to any such request for preliminary approval. Tenant acknowledges that the applicable Proposed Transfer shall remain subject to Landlord's approval pursuant to Section 4.D hereof (except that the scope of Landlord's review of the applicable Proposed Transfer under Section 4.D hereof shall be limited as provided in this Section 4.C). If (I) Tenant gives Landlord a Transfer Notice which includes a Term Sheet in respect of a particular Proposed Transfer as contemplated by Section 4.B.(i) and this Section 4.C, (II) Landlord does not exercise any of the recapture rights set forth in Section 4.B. hereof, with respect to the Proposed Transfer, (III) Landlord approves such Proposed Transfer under this Section 4.C, (IV) Tenant submits to Landlord a copy of the fully executed sublease or assignment agreement, as applicable, within one hundred eighty (180) days after the date that Tenant submits the Term Sheet to Landlord, and (V) the net effective rent of such specific sublease agreement or assignment is within five percent (5%) of the net effective rent set forth in Term Sheet and the terms of the executed sublease or assignment agreement, as the case may be, are otherwise consistent in all material respects with the terms set forth in the Term Sheet, then Landlord shall not have the right to withhold consent to the applicable Proposed Transfer pursuant to clauses (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vii), (viii), (x), and (xi), of Section 4.D hereof (it being understood, however, that Landlord shall retain the right to object to the Proposed Transfer for a period of thirty (30) days following receipt of the fully executed sublease agreement, as the case may
21
#152719409_v7



be, to the extent that the applicable Proposed Transfer does not then satisfy the requirements set forth in clauses (i), (vi),(ix), (xii) and (xiii) of Section 4.D. hereof); it being the intent and purpose hereof that Landlord shall be entitled to withhold consent to a Proposed Transfer in its sole discretion if a monetary or material non-monetary Default has occurred and is then continuing either on or about the date that Landlord receives a Transfer Notice or on or about the date that Landlord receives the executed definitive documents for the Proposed Transfer, as the case may be. Nothing contained in this Section 4.C. limits Landlord's rights under Section 4.B hereof or under Articles 5 and 6 hereof.
5.     (ii)    In the event Landlord has granted its preliminary approval to a Proposed Transfer described in a Term Sheet but (a) the specific sublease agreement is not fully executed and delivered within one hundred eighty (180) days after the delivery of a Transfer Notice to Landlord, or (b) the net effective rent of such specific sublease agreement varies by more than five percent (5%) from the net effective rent set forth in the Term Sheet or (c) the terms of such specific sublease are not consistent in all other material respects with the terms set forth in the Term Sheet, then, in any case, Tenant must deliver another Transfer Notice to Landlord pursuant to subsection 4.B (which Transfer Notice shall include all of the documents and additional information required pursuant to subsection 4.B.(i) hereof), and Landlord shall have an additional period of ten (10) Business Days from the receipt of such second Transfer Notice to exercise any of its options set forth in subsections 4.B (ii), and/or (iii) hereof, as applicable, provided, however, that such reoffering to Landlord under this Section 4.C(ii) must include the final, fully executed sublease (in lieu of the Term Sheet described in subsection 4.B(i) above), along with all of the documents and additional information required under subsection 4.B(i) hereof. Landlord shall also have the same consent rights with respect to the Proposed Transfer as re-offered (subject to the same criteria set forth in Section 4.D below).
D.Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, in the event that Tenant does not request preliminary approval to a Proposed Transfer on the basis of a Term Sheet, and instead requests Landlord's consent to a fully executed assignment or fully executed sublease, as the case may be, then if Landlord does not exercise its recapture rights set forth in Section 4.B. hereof, then Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay its consent to Tenant's request for consent to a specific Proposed Transfer provided that:
(i)Other than the payment of Fixed Annual Rent and Additional Rent (which shall be pursuant to the terms of the sublease and any consent or other agreement between the parties) any such sublease expressly provides that the subtenant shall comply with all applicable terms and conditions of this Lease to be performed by Tenant hereunder with respect to the subleased premises and any assignment of this Lease shall contain an assumption by the assignee of all of the obligations of Tenant under this Lease accruing from and after the effective date of such assignment (provided that Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Tenant shall be liable for all obligations accruing prior to and after the effective date of such assignment);
(ii)Tenant shall not advertise (but may list with brokers) its space for assignment or subletting at a rental rate lower than the prevailing rental rate set by Landlord for comparable space in the Building, or, if there is no comparable space, the prevailing rental rate reasonably determined by Landlord;
(iii)the proposed subtenant or assignee or any Affiliate of the proposed subtenant or assignee, does not lease or occupy any space in the Building unless Landlord does not then have, and does not reasonably expect to have within six (6) months thereafter, space available in the Building that is reasonably comparable to the Premises (or the portion thereof involved in the Transfer). In no event shall Landlord have any obligation to consent to any proposed transferee if such proposed transferee or any Affiliate of such proposed transferee leases or occupies any space in the Building and is a Person with whom Landlord is then engaged in bona fide negotiations regarding the leasing or subleasing of additional space in the Building;
(iv)the proposed subtenant or assignee or any Affiliate of the proposed subtenant or assignee has not dealt (as evidenced by written or electronic communications) with Landlord or its Affiliates or any agent thereof (directly or through a broker) with respect to space in the Building during the six (6) months immediately preceding Tenant's request for Landlord's consent, unless Landlord does not then have, nor reasonably expect to have within six (6) months thereafter, space available in the Building that is reasonably comparable to the Premises (or the portion thereof involved in the Transfer). In no event shall Landlord have any obligation to consent to any proposed transferee with whom Landlord is then engaged in bona fide negotiations regarding leasing or subleasing of space in the Building;
(v)intentionally omitted;
(vi)the proposed assignee or subtenant (or any Affiliate of the proposed subtenant or assignee) is not primarily engaged in the ownership, management, leasing, operation and/or development of commercial real estate;
22
#152719409_v7



(vii)no monetary or material non-monetary default has occurred and is then continuing;
(viii)the proposed subtenant or assignee is engaged in and will conduct business in a manner which is in keeping with the standards and the general character of the Building and the business of such proposed subtenant or assignee will not violate any then existing restrictive covenant or use restriction contained in any lease or other agreement affecting the Building (of which Landlord shall advise Tenant upon Tenant’s request);
(ix)if the proposed transfer is a sublease, the proposed transfer will not result in more than four (4) occupants (including Tenant) occupying any full floor of the Premises;
(x)the proposed assignee or subtenant has a financial standing that is reasonably satisfactory to Landlord taking into account, in the case of a sublease, the obligations under such sublease and, in the case of an assignment or a sublease, Tenant’s continuing liability under this Lease;
(xi)if the proposed transfer is a sublease, the sublease term shall expire at least one (1) day prior to the Fixed Expiration Date;
(xii)the proposed assignee or subtenant will not use the Premises for any use other than the uses expressly permitted pursuant to Article 1 hereof;
(xiii)any sublease shall provide that such sublease is subject and subordinate to the terms of this Lease and if this Lease is terminated for any reason whatsoever, Landlord, at Landlord's option may take over all of the right, title and interest of the transferor under the sublease and the transferee, at Landlord's option, shall attorn to Landlord and perform for Landlord’s benefit all the terms, covenants and conditions of such sublease as if such sublease were a direct lease between Landlord and such subtenant provided however, Landlord shall not be (1) liable for any act or omission of the transferor under such sublease (except for any such acts or omissions that (x) continue after the date that Landlord succeeds to the interest of the transferor under such sublease, and (y) may be remedied by providing a service or performing a repair), (2) subject to any defense or offsets which the transferee may have against the transferor that accrue prior to the date that Landlord succeeds to the interest of the transferor, (3) bound by any previous payment that the transferee made to the transferor more than thirty (30) days in advance of the date that such payment was due, (4) bound by any obligation to make any payment to or on behalf of the transferee that accrues prior to the date that Landlord succeeds to the interest of the transferor under such sublease, (5) bound by any obligation to perform any work or to make improvements to the Premises, or the applicable portion thereof demised by such sublease (other than the obligation to perform maintenance, repairs or restoration that in each case first becomes necessary from and after the date that Landlord succeeds to the interest of the transferor under such sublease), (6) bound by any amendment or modification (but not a termination) of such sublease made without Landlord's consent (other than a modification, amendment or extension expressly set forth in such sublease and such sublease has previously been approved by Landlord), and (7) bound to return the transferee's security deposit, if any, until such deposit has come into Landlord's actual possession and the transferee is entitled to such security deposit pursuant to the terms of such sublease (the requirements of a proposed sublease as set forth in this Section 4.D.(xiii) being collectively referred to herein as the "Basic Sublease Provisions"). If this Lease shall be rejected pursuant to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code (as hereinafter defined) or any similar or successor statute, such rejection shall be treated by the subtenant as a termination of the Term notwithstanding any contrary interpretation given by law to such rejection and the provisions of this Section 4.D.(xiii) shall be applicable thereto; and
(xiv)the applicable transferor and transferee executes and delivers to Landlord a consent to the applicable sublease or assignment in a form reasonably designated by Landlord.
If Landlord fails to respond to any request for its consent to a specific proposed assignment or sublease by Tenant within the thirty (30) days following the date of Landlord’s receipt of a Transfer Notice and all required documentation, then Tenant may notify Landlord of such fact (a “Transfer Reminder Notice”). If Landlord’s failure to respond continues for more than five (5) Business Days after Landlord’s receipt of the Transfer Reminder Notice, then Landlord shall be deemed (i) to have consented to such proposed assignment or sublease and (ii) to have waived its recapture rights under Section 4.B hereof, provided and on condition that Transfer Reminder Notice from Tenant shall have specified in bold face type and capital letters as follows: “IF LANDLORD SHALL FAIL TO RESPOND TO TENANT’S REQUEST FOR CONSENT TO A SPECIFIC ASSIGNMENT OR SUBLETTING WITHIN FIVE (5) BUSINESS DAYS AFTER THE GIVING OF THIS NOTICE, SUCH FAILURE SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE LANDLORD’S CONSENT TO SUCH SPECIFIC ASSIGNMENT OR SUBLETTING”. For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood that the foregoing provisions of this paragraph shall only apply to a Proposed Transfer by Tenant, and shall not apply to a Proposed Transfer by any subtenant or sub-subtenant of Tenant.

If the Predecessor Tenant defaults in its obligation to enter into said new lease for a period of ten (10) days following Landlord's request therefor, then, in addition to all other rights and remedies by reason of such default, either at law or in equity, Landlord shall have the same rights and remedies against such Predecessor Tenant as if such Predecessor Tenant had entered into such new lease and such new lease had thereafter been terminated as of the commencement date thereof by reason of such Predecessor Tenant's default thereunder.

#152719409_v7



during such period of twenty (20) days, (b) Tenant takes reasonable steps during such period of twenty (20) days to commence Tenant's remedying of such default, and (c) Tenant diligently and continuously prosecutes Tenant's remedying of such default to completion, then a Default shall not occur by reason of such default. For all purposes of this Lease other than Section 5.D. and Article 6 hereof, the term "Default" as referred to in this Section 5.C. shall be deemed to include Tenant's failure to pay any item of Rental following receipt of a rent demand therefor and the lapse of any cure period specified therein.
D.If (i) a Default (other than an Insolvency Event) occurs, and Landlord, at any time thereafter prior to the cure thereof, at Landlord's option, gives a notice to Tenant stating that this Lease and the Term shall expire and terminate on the third (3rd) Business Day after the date that Landlord gives Tenant such notice, or (ii) an Insolvency Event occurs, then this Lease and the Term and all rights of Tenant under this Lease shall expire and terminate as of the third (3rd) Business Day after the date that Landlord gives Tenant such notice, or on the date that the Insolvency Event occurs, as the case may be, without the need for any further act as if such date were the Fixed Expiration Date, and Tenant immediately shall quit and surrender the Premises, but Tenant shall nonetheless remain liable for all of its obligations hereunder, and Landlord may institute summary or other proceedings to repossess the Premises or re-enter and take possession of the Premises by any means permitted by law.
7.REMEDIES AND DAMAGES.
A.Tenant, on its own behalf and on behalf of all Persons claiming by, through or under Tenant, including all creditors, does hereby waive any and all rights which Tenant and all such Persons might have under any present or future law to redeem the Premises, or to re-enter or repossess the Premises, or to restore the operation of this Lease, after (i) Tenant has been dispossessed by a judgment or by warrant of any court or judge, or (ii) any re-entry by Landlord, or (iii) any expiration or termination of this Lease and the Term, whether such dispossess, re-entry, expiration or termination is by operation of law or pursuant to the provisions of this Lease. The words "re-enter," "re-entry" and "re-entered" as used in this Lease shall not be deemed to be restricted to their technical legal meanings.
B.In the event of a breach or threatened breach by Tenant, or any Persons claiming by, through or under Tenant, of any term, covenant or condition of this Lease, Landlord shall have the right to (i) enjoin or restrain such breach, (ii) invoke any other remedy allowed by law or in equity as if re-entry, summary proceedings and other special remedies were not provided in this Lease for such breach, and (iii) seek any declaratory, injunctive or other equitable relief, and specifically enforce this Lease.
C.If a Default occurs and this Lease and the Term terminate as provided in Article 5 hereof or by or under any summary proceeding or any action or proceeding, then in any of said events:
(i)Tenant shall immediately quit and peacefully surrender the Premises to Landlord, and Landlord and its agents may, without prejudice to any other remedy which Landlord may have, (x) re-enter the Premises or any part thereof, without notice, either by summary proceedings, or by any other applicable action or proceeding, (without being liable to indictment, prosecution or damages therefor), (y) repossess the Premises and dispossess Tenant and any other Persons from the Premises, and (z) remove any and all of their property and effects from the Premises; and
(ii)Landlord, at Landlord's option, may relet the whole or any portion or portions of the Premises from time to time, either in the name of Landlord or otherwise, to such tenant or tenants, for such term or terms ending before, on or after the Fixed Expiration Date, at such rental or rentals and upon such other conditions, which may include concessions and free rent periods, as Landlord, in its sole discretion, may determine; provided, however, that Landlord shall have no obligation to relet the Premises or any part thereof and shall not be liable for refusal or failure to relet the Premises or any part thereof, or, in the event of any such reletting, for refusal or failure to collect any rent due upon any such reletting. Any such refusal or failure on Landlord's part shall not relieve Tenant of any liability under this Lease or otherwise affect any such liability. Landlord, at Landlord's option, may make such repairs, replacements, alterations, additions, improvements, decorations and other physical changes in and to the Premises as Landlord, in its sole discretion, considers advisable or necessary in connection with any such reletting or proposed reletting, without relieving Tenant of any liability under this Lease or otherwise affecting any such liability.
D.If this Lease and the Term shall terminate and come to an end as provided in Article 5 hereof, or by or under any summary proceeding or any other action or proceeding, then, in any of said events, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord, on demand, and Landlord shall be entitled to recover:

(i)all Rental payable under this Lease by Tenant to Landlord (x) to the date that this Lease terminates, or (y) to the date of re-entry upon the Premises by Landlord, as the case may be;

28
#152719409_v7



(ii)the excess of (x) the Rental for the period which otherwise would have constituted the unexpired portion of the Term, over (y) the net amount, if any, of rents collected under any reletting effected pursuant to the provisions of clause (ii) of Section 6.C. hereof for any part of such period, but subject to Section 6.E. hereof (such excess being referred to herein as a "Deficiency"), as damages (it being understood and agreed that (I) such net amount described in clause (y) above shall be calculated by deducting from the rents collected under any such reletting all of Landlord's expenses in connection with the termination of this Lease, Landlord's re-entry upon the Premises and such reletting, including, but not limited to, all repossession costs, brokerage commissions, legal expenses, reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements, alteration costs, contributions to work and other expenses of preparing the Premises for such reletting, including without limitation, advertising expenses; (II) any such Deficiency shall be paid in monthly installments by Tenant on the days specified in this Lease for payment of installments of Fixed Annual Rent or Escalation Rent (as the case may be), and (III) Landlord shall be entitled to recover from Tenant each monthly Deficiency as it arises, and no action or proceeding to collect the amount of the Deficiency for any month shall prejudice Landlord's right to collect the Deficiency for any subsequent month by a similar action or proceeding); and

(iii)regardless of whether Landlord has collected any monthly Deficiency as aforesaid, and in lieu of any further Deficiency, as and for liquidated and agreed final damages, an amount equal to the excess (if any) of (x) the Rental for the period which otherwise would have constituted the unexpired portion of the Term (commencing on the date immediately succeeding the last date with respect to which a Deficiency, if any, was collected), over (y) the then fair and reasonable net effective rental value of the Premises for the same period (which is calculated by (I) deducting from the fair and reasonable rental value of the Premises the expenses that Landlord would reasonably expect to incur in reletting the Premises, including, but not limited to, all repossession costs, brokerage commissions, legal expenses, reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements, alteration costs, contributions to work and other expenses of preparing the Premises for such reletting, and (II) taking into account the time period that Landlord would reasonably require to consummate a reletting of the Premises to a new tenant), both discounted to present value at the Base Rate. Any such valuation of the then fair and reasonable net effective rental value of the Premises made by Landlord which is based upon a valuation made by any of the ten (10) largest (as measured by gross leasable square feet for which leasing commissions were earned during the most recent calendar year preceding the date of Tenant’s default) brokerage/leasing companies in the City of New York shall be conclusive and binding upon Tenant and not subject to review by any court or arbitration panel.

E.If the Premises, or any part thereof, are relet together with other space in the Building, then the rents collected or reserved under any such reletting and the expenses of any such reletting shall be equitably apportioned for the purposes of Section 6.D hereof. In no event shall Tenant be entitled to a credit or repayment for re-rental income which exceed the sums payable by Tenant hereunder or which covers a period after the original Term. Nothing contained in this Article 6 shall be deemed to limit or preclude the recovery by Landlord from Tenant of the maximum amount allowed to be obtained as damages by any applicable statute or rule of law, or of any sums or damages to which Landlord may be lawfully entitled in addition to the damages set forth in Section 6.D hereof.

F.The exercise of any remedy under this Lease whether in this Article 6 or elsewhere shall not preclude Landlord from simultaneously therewith or subsequent thereto, exercising any and all other remedies permitted by law or in equity. Any and all such remedies are deemed to be cumulative and non-exclusive. Landlord need not apply any security hereunder to cure a default by Tenant as a condition precedent to exercising any other right or remedy and the application of any such security shall not preclude the exercise of any other remedy.

G.The provisions of this Article 6 shall survive the Expiration Date.

8.LANDLORD'S COSTS.
A.If Tenant shall default in performing any covenant or condition of this Lease, Landlord may, in addition to the rights heretofore set forth in Articles 5 and 6, exercise any other remedy provided in this Lease, at law or in equity and/or perform the same for the account of Tenant after notice from Landlord, and if Landlord, in connection therewith, or in connection with any default by Tenant, makes any expenditures or incurs any obligations for the payment of money, including, but not limited, to reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements, Tenant shall pay to Landlord an amount equal to such expenditures so paid and/or the obligations so incurred together with interest thereon calculated at the Applicable Rate from the date that Landlord incurs such expenditures or obligations, within ten (10) Business Days after Landlord gives to Tenant an invoice therefor (it being understood and agreed that Landlord shall have the right to collect such amount from Tenant as Additional Rent to the extent that Landlord incurs such costs during the Term and as damages to the extent that Landlord incurs such costs after the Expiration Date).
B.Tenant shall pay to Landlord an amount equal to the actual reasonable costs (including, but not limited, to reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements) that Landlord incurs in defending successfully against a
29
#152719409_v7



claim made by Tenant (or any other Person claiming by, through or under Tenant) against Landlord that relates to this Lease in a legal action or proceeding, together with interest thereon calculated at the Applicable Rate from the date that Landlord incurs such costs, within ten (10) Business Days after Landlord gives to Tenant an invoice therefor (it being understood and agreed that (i) Landlord shall have the right to collect such amount from Tenant as Additional Rent to the extent that Landlord incurs such costs during the Term and as damages to the extent that Landlord incurs such costs after the Expiration Date, and (ii) the amount that Landlord has the right to collect from Tenant under this Section 7.B. shall be adjusted appropriately to reflect the extent to which Landlord is successful in such legal proceeding).

C.Landlord shall pay to Tenant an amount equal to the actual reasonable costs (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) that Tenant incurs in defending successfully against a claim made by Landlord (or any other Person claiming on behalf of Landlord) against Tenant that relates to this Lease in a legal proceeding, together with interest thereon calculated at the Applicable Rate from the date that Tenant incurs such actual reasonable costs, within thirty (30) days after Tenant gives to Landlord an invoice therefor (it being understood that the amount that Tenant has the right to collect from Landlord under this Section 7.C shall be adjusted appropriately to reflect the extent to which Tenant is successful in defending against such claim).

D.The provisions of this Article 7 shall survive the Expiration Date.

9.ALTERATIONS
A.Except as otherwise provided in this Article 8, no Alterations shall be made without the prior written consent of Landlord subject to the provisions of Section 8.C hereof, and then only with such materials as shall be approved by Landlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, Tenant may make Decorative Alterations (as hereinafter defined) without Landlord's prior written consent subject to the terms of this Article 8.
B.(i)    The term "Alterations" shall mean alterations, installations, improvements, additions or other physical changes, in each case, in or to the Premises that are made by, or on behalf of Tenant or any other Person claiming by, through or under Tenant (or otherwise engaged by or on behalf of Tenant or any other Person claiming by, through or under Tenant). Except as the same may be expressly included as part of Specialty Alterations, Alterations shall not include Landlord’s Work for purposes of this Article 8.
(ii)    The term "Decorative Alterations" shall mean Alterations that constitute merely decorative and cosmetic changes to the Premises (such as, for example, the installation of carpeting or other customary floor coverings or painting or the installation of customary wall coverings) that in each case do not involve electrical, plumbing or mechanical connections or require any permits from any Governmental Authority; it being understood and agreed, however, that Decorative Alterations shall specifically exclude window film/glass film and white boards.

(i)Intentionally Deleted.
(ii)The term "Specialty Alterations" shall mean Alterations that (a) perforate a floor slab in the Premises or a wall that encloses the core of the Building, (b) require the reinforcement of a floor slab in the Premises, (c) consist of the installation of a raised flooring system, (d) consist of the installation of a vault or other similar device or system that is intended to secure the Premises or a portion thereof in a manner that exceeds the level of security that a reasonable Person uses for ordinary office space, (e) involve material plumbing connections (such as kitchens, showers and executive bathrooms), or (f) constitute non-customary office installations which are materially more expensive to remove than the type of improvement that is customarily found in a standard office installation; provided, that wires, conduits or cables that are installed exclusively within the Premises and behind walls, below floors or above drop ceilings shall not be deemed Specialty Alterations. Landlord hereby expressly acknowledges and agrees that Landlord’s 9th Floor Premises Work as shown on the Final Space Plan attached to this Lease and the Work Letter attached to this Lease does not include any Specialty Alterations; it being agreed that the foregoing shall not be deemed to include any portions of Landlord’s 9th Floor Premises Work that may be performed by Landlord that is not shown on the Final Space Plan or the Work Letter (e.g., Change Orders, Tenant’s Extra Work, etc).

(iii)The term "Tenant's Property" shall mean Tenant's personal property (other than non-movable fixtures and built-ins), including, without limitation, Tenant's movable fixtures, movable partitions, telephone equipment, computer equipment, furniture, furnishings and decorations.

C.Subject to the terms of this Article 8, Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay its consent to any proposed Alteration provided that such Alteration (i) is not visible from the outside of the Building at street level, (ii) does not affect adversely any part of the Building, (iii) does not require any alterations,
30
#152719409_v7



installations, improvements, additions or other physical changes to be performed in or made to any portion of the Building other than the Premises, (iv) does not affect any Building system (other than to a de minimis extent), (v) does not reduce the value or utility of the Building, (vi) does not affect the structure of the Building and does not require the installation of floor support or other structural support, (vii) does not impede Landlord's access to Reserved Areas (as hereinafter defined) in any material respect, and (viii) does not violate (or require any amendment to) or render invalid the certificate of occupancy for the Building or any part thereof (any Alteration that satisfies the requirements described in clauses (i) through (viii) above being referred to herein as a "Basic Alteration"). Nothing in this Section 8.C. limits the provisions of Section 8.H. hereof.
D.
(i)Tenant shall not perform any Alteration (other than Decorative Alterations) unless Tenant first gives to Landlord a notice thereof (an "Alterations Notice") that (a) refers specifically to this Section 8.D., (b) includes three (3) copies of the plans and specifications for the proposed Alteration (including, without limitation, layout, architectural, mechanical and structural drawings, to the extent applicable) that contain sufficient detail for Landlord and Landlord's consultants to reasonably assess the proposed Alteration, and that are otherwise suitable for filing, stamped and certified by an architect or engineer duly licensed in the State of New York and approved by Landlord pursuant to the provisions hereof, and (c) indicates whether Tenant considers the proposed Alterations to constitute a Basic Alteration. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that specific delivery requirements apply with respect to Alterations Notices, as set forth in Article 28 hereof.
(ii)Landlord shall have the right to (a) disapprove any plans and specifications for a particular Alteration in part, (b) reserve Landlord's approval of items shown on such plans and specifications pending Landlord's review of other plans and specifications that Tenant is otherwise required to provide to Landlord hereunder, and (c) condition Landlord's approval of such plans and specifications upon Tenant's making revisions to the plans and specifications or supplying additional information (which Landlord shall have the right to request only reasonably if the applicable Alteration constitutes a Basic Alteration). Nothing contained in this Section 8.D.(ii) limits the provisions of Section 8.C. hereof. To the extent that Landlord disapproves any Alteration, in whole or in part, Landlord shall specify the reasons therefor.
(iii)Tenant acknowledges that (a) the review of plans or specifications for an Alteration by or on behalf of Landlord, or (b) the preparation of plans or specifications for an Alteration by Landlord's architect or engineer (or any architect or engineer designated by Landlord), is solely for Landlord's benefit, and, accordingly, Landlord makes no representation or warranty that such plans or specifications comply with any Requirements or are otherwise adequate or correct.
(iv)If (a) Tenant gives Landlord an Alterations Notice, and (b) Landlord fails to respond within ten (10) Business Days after Tenant gives the Alterations Notice to Landlord, then Tenant, following the expiration of such ten (10) Business Day period, shall be entitled to give a second Alterations Notice to Landlord that provides in bold and capital letters: "SECOND NOTICE: LANDLORD'S FAILURE TO RESPOND TO THIS SECOND ALTERATIONS NOTICE WITHIN FIVE (5) BUSINESS DAYS AFTER THE DATE THAT TENANT GIVES THIS SECOND ALTERATIONS NOTICE TO LANDLORD SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE LANDLORD'S CONSENT TO THE BASIC ALTERATIONS DESCRIBED HEREIN". If Tenant gives such second Alterations Notice to Landlord as aforesaid and Landlord fails to so respond to the first or second Alterations Notice within five (5) Business Days after Tenant gives the second Alterations Notice to Landlord, then Landlord shall be deemed to have consented to the Alteration(s) described in such Alterations Notice only to the extent such Alterations constitute Basic Alterations. In no event shall Landlord's consent be deemed granted to any Specialty Alterations.
(v)If (a) Tenant resubmits any Alterations Notice to Landlord in accordance with this Section 8.D., and (b) Landlord fails to respond within five (5) Business Days after Tenant gives the resubmitted Alterations Notice to Landlord, then Tenant, following the expiration of such five (5) Business Day period, shall be entitled to give a second resubmitted Alterations Notice to Landlord that provides in bold and capital letters: "SECOND NOTICE: LANDLORD'S FAILURE TO RESPOND TO THIS SECOND RESUBMITTED ALTERATIONS NOTICE WITHIN FIVE (5) BUSINESS DAYS AFTER THE DATE THAT TENANT GIVES THIS SECOND RESUBMITTED ALTERATIONS NOTICE TO LANDLORD SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE LANDLORD'S CONSENT TO THE BASIC ALTERATIONS DESCRIBED THEREIN." If Tenant gives such second resubmitted Alterations Notice to Landlord as aforesaid and Landlord fails to respond to the first or second resubmitted Alterations Notice within five (5) Business Days after Tenant gives the second resubmitted Alterations Notice to Landlord, then Landlord shall be deemed to have consented to the Alteration(s) described in such resubmitted Alterations Notice only to the extent such Alterations constitute Basic Alterations. In no event shall Landlord's consent be deemed granted to any Specialty Alterations.
E.

(i)All Alterations (other than Decorative Alterations) shall be performed in accordance with the plans and specifications therefor as approved by Landlord. No Alteration(s) may result in the reduction of any environmental rating for the Building which may now or hereafter be made, such as any rating made pursuant to LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design), Green Globes or Energy Star.
(ii)All Alterations shall be performed (x) in a good and workmanlike manner and (y) subject to and in accordance with all Building rules and regulations (including the specific rules and regulations governing construction, and the rules and regulations governing materials and finishes criteria adopted by Landlord for the Building) as the same may be amended from time to time, all applicable Requirements, and all other applicable provisions of this Lease (including, without limitation, the ESRT High Performance Design and Construction Guidelines set forth on Exhibit "D" attached hereto and made a part hereof, as the same may be amended from time to time (the "Design Guidelines")). In performing any Alterations, Tenant shall use, to the fullest extent feasible, materials from sustainable sources at commercially competitive rates. Tenant shall not bring or permit any Person engaged by or on behalf of Tenant or any Person claiming by, through or under Tenant, to bring any hazardous materials into the Premises or the Building.
(iii)Tenant shall, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, ensure that the Premises comply, at all times during the Term, with the Design Guidelines; provided, however, Tenant shall not be obligated to perform Alterations solely to comply with the Design Guidelines, unless (a) such Alteration or other change is required by reason of Alterations having been performed by Tenant (or another Person claiming by, through or under Tenant), or (b) such Alteration or other change is required by reason of the specific nature or manner of use of the Premises or type of business operated by Tenant (or another Person claiming by, through or under Tenant) in the Premises (as opposed to the use of the Premises for the general purposes otherwise permitted under Section 1.B. hereof), or (c) such Alteration or other change is required or necessitated by Tenant's acts or omissions and/or the acts or omissions of any other Person claiming by, through or under Tenant, or (d) such Alteration or other change is required by Requirements. Within ten (10) Business Days following request from Landlord (or any member of Landlord's property management team) or Landlord's agent, which request may be made, from time to time, and may be made verbally or via electronic mail to the Person employed by Tenant with whom Landlord's representative ordinarily discusses matters relating to the Premises, Tenant shall confirm in a writing reasonably acceptable to Landlord and signed by an authorized representative of Tenant, that (x) any Alterations theretofore made in the Premises comply with the Design Guidelines (or in the alternative, that no Alterations have theretofore been made in the Premises), (y) Tenant has not taken any action (or allowed any Person claiming by, through or under Tenant to take any such action) to override, inhibit, preempt or otherwise reduce the efficacy of any energy efficiency or sustainability measures which have theretofore been implemented in the Building and/or the Premises and (z) the Premises are then in compliance with the Design Guidelines to the extent required by this Section 8.E.(iii).  Landlord (and/or its designee) shall have the right to enter the Premises (which entry shall be subject to the provisions of Article 19 hereof) for purposes of confirming Tenant's compliance with the foregoing; it being understood and agreed that in the event that Landlord determines the Premises do not then comply with the Design Guidelines to the extent required by this Section 8.E.(iii) and/or that Tenant has taken any action (or allowed any Person claiming by, through or under Tenant to take any such action) to override, inhibit, preempt or otherwise reduce the efficacy of any energy efficiency or sustainability measures which have theretofore been implemented in the Building and/or the Premises, Landlord shall have the right to perform any and all work necessary to cause the Premises to comply with the Design Guidelines, and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any and all out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection therewith, together with all of Landlord's out-of-pocket costs incurred in making such determination within thirty (30) days following receipt of Landlord's invoice therefor.
(iv)Prior to the commencement of any Alteration(s), Tenant, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, shall obtain all permits, approvals and certificates required by any Governmental Authorities in connection therewith and provide copies thereof to Landlord's property management team for the Building; it being expressly understood however, that (x) Landlord shall designate the expeditor to be used by Tenant to obtain any required certifications provided that such expeditor charges rates that are reasonably competitive with expeditors of comparable skill and experience operating within the vicinity of the Building that are reasonably available to perform the services required by Tenant in a timely manner and (y) "self-certification" procedures shall not be accepted.
(v)Prior to performing any Alteration (and for the duration of the performance thereof), Tenant shall maintain on behalf of its contractors (of any tier) and vendors or cause its contractors (of any tier) and vendors to maintain the following insurance, (a) worker's compensation and disability insurance in amounts not less than the statutory limits required by Requirements (covering all persons to be employed by Tenant, and Tenant's contractors, subcontractors, and vendors in connection with such Alteration); (b) commercial general liability insurance (covering bodily injury including death, personal injury and property damage), in each case in customary form, and in amounts that are not less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) per occurrence and in the annual policy aggregate with respect to general contractors and Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000) per occurrence and in the annual policy aggregate with respect to subcontractors (or such higher amounts as Landlord may
32
#152719409_v7



reasonably elect given the scope of the particular Alteration); it being understood and agreed that the foregoing insurance shall be required in addition to Tenant's Liability Policy; (c) builder's risk insurance in an amount reasonably satisfactory to Landlord; and (d) commercial automobile liability insurance if the contractor or vendor uses a vehicle at the Real Property, covering all vehicles with a minimum combined single limit of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000). The policies set forth in (b) through (d) of this Section 8.E.(v) shall be endorsed to name the specific Landlord Parties designated by Landlord or Landlord’s representative as additional insureds (the “Designated Landlord Parties”). A contractor’s or vendor’s liability shall in no way be limited by the amount of insurance recovery or the amount of insurance in force, or available, or required by any provisions of this Lease. The limits listed above are minimum requirements only. The liabilities of any contractor or vendor shall survive and not be terminated, reduced or otherwise limited by any expiration or termination of such insurance coverage. Prior to the start of any such Alterations and prior to the expiration of any policy, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord certificates of insurance (on a form reasonably acceptable to Landlord) along with copies of endorsements naming the Designated Landlord Parties as additional insureds. Neither approval nor failure to disapprove insurance furnished by the contractor or vendor shall relieve the contractor, its subcontractors or vendors from responsibility to provide insurance as required herein.
(vi)Notwithstanding anything herein set forth to the contrary, within sixty (60) days after Substantial Completion of any Alteration (subject to extension due to Unavoidable Delays), Tenant, at Tenant's own cost and expense, shall deliver to Landlord (a) hard copies of the final "as-built" record drawings of the Alteration which indicate accurately the layout and systems of the Premises together with a furniture plan, if available; it being understood and agreed that Tenant shall also require its architect to load and maintain such record drawings in CAD and portable document format (or in another electronic format so designated by Landlord), (b) a summary by trade of the costs incurred in performing such work and such other records as Landlord may require to document such costs, (c) evidence reasonably satisfactory to Landlord that Tenant has obtained all required final approvals from applicable Governmental Authorities in connection with the Alterations, including, without limitation, letters of completion from the New York City Department of Buildings for all work permits Tenant has obtained in connection with the performance of the Alteration, (d) to the extent applicable, any owner and/or maintenance manuals and any warranties received by Tenant in connection with the Alterations and (e) final, unconditional waivers of lien from all contractors, subcontractors, materialmen, architects, engineers and other Persons who may file a lien against the Real Property in connection with such Alterations. For the avoidance of doubt, the requirements set forth in clauses (a)-(c) shall not apply with respect to Decorative Alterations.
(vii)No demolition, trenching, or welding shall be permitted between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. on Business Days; it being expressly understood, however, that core drilling is not permitted. If the performance of any other Alterations during the aforesaid time periods interferes with or interrupts the maintenance, repair, management or operation of the Building in any material respect or interferes with or interrupts the use and occupancy of the Building by other tenants in the Building in any material respect, then Landlord shall have the right to require Tenant to perform such Alteration at such other times that Landlord designates from time to time on a non-discriminatory basis.

F.
(i)All Alterations shall be performed only under the supervision of a licensed architect that Landlord approves, which approval Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay. All work shall be performed with union labor having the proper jurisdictional qualifications and only by contractors, subcontractors, mechanics, engineers and laborers approved by Landlord, which approval Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay; it being understood and agreed, however, that (x) if an Alteration affects any structural portion of the Building, any Building system, or any portion of the Building outside of the Premises, Landlord (if Landlord has consented thereto) shall have the right to designate (i) the engineer that designs the applicable Alteration (or the portion thereof that affects such structural portion of the Building, Building system, or portion of the Building outside of the Premises), and (ii) the contractors, subcontractors and/or laborers that performs the Alteration (or the portion thereof that affects such structural portion of the Building, Building system, or portion of the Building outside of the Premises), provided that any such engineer, contractor, subcontractor or laborer, as applicable, charges rates that are reasonably competitive with engineers, contractors, subcontractors or laborers (as applicable) of comparable skill and experience operating within the vicinity of the Building and can perform the services on a timely basis. If Landlord and Tenant cannot agree on whether the prices being charged by the engineer, contractor, subcontractor or laborer (as applicable) designated by the Landlord are reasonably competitive to those charged by such other engineers, contractors, subcontractors or laborers (as applicable), Landlord or Tenant may submit such dispute to a Streamlined Arbitration Proceeding (as hereinafter defined) pursuant to Article 41 hereof.
(ii)If (a) Tenant employs, or permits the employment of, any contractor, subcontractors, engineer, mechanic or laborer in the Premises, whether in connection with any Alteration or otherwise, and
33
#152719409_v7



regardless of whether Landlord has approved such contractor, subcontractor, mechanic, or laborer, (b) such employment interferes or causes any conflict with other contractors, subcontractors, engineers, mechanics or laborers engaged in the maintenance, repair, management or operation of the Building or any adjacent property owned or managed by Landlord, and (c) Landlord gives Tenant notice thereof (which notice may be given verbally to the Person employed by Tenant with whom Landlord's representative ordinarily discusses matters relating to the Premises), then Tenant shall cause all contractors, subcontractors, mechanics or laborers causing such interference or conflict to leave the Building promptly and shall take such other immediate action as may be reasonably necessary to resolve such conflict.
(iii)In any case under this Article 8 or any other provision of this Lease it shall be required that Landlord’s consent is required for the use or employment of any contractor, subcontractor, vendor or other supplier of labor or material, Tenant acknowledges and agrees that any such consent shall under no circumstance be deemed a warranty, assurance or guarantee that such contractor, subcontractor, vendor or supplier is qualified for the work or engagement for which Tenant is retaining such contractor, vendor or supplier or that the work, services or materials being provided shall be in compliance with Tenant’s plans and specifications or comply with Requirements or that any work shall be performed in a workmanlike fashion free of any defect. Tenant specifically disclaims and waives any right, claim or cause of action against Landlord based upon any such contractor, vendor or supplier’s defective work, material or service or failure to perform any work in accordance with any agreement, Requirement or professional standard.

35
#152719409_v7



any defective condition in the Building or in any Building system located in, servicing or passing through the Premises.
B.Subject to the terms of this Article 10 and to Articles 11, 14 and 31 hereof, Landlord shall maintain and make all necessary repairs to and replacements of (i) the part of the Building systems which provide electricity, HVAC and water service to the Premises (but not to the distribution portions of such Building systems located within the Premises), (ii) the structural portions of the Building, (iii) the roof of the Building, (iv) the sidewalks that are adjacent to the Building, (v) the exterior walls of the Premises, (vi) the exterior perimeter windows of the Premises, and (vii) the public portions of the Building, in each case, in conformance with standards applicable to comparable office buildings in Manhattan.

Landlord shall have no obligation to employ contractors or labor at overtime or premium pay rates in connection with Landlord's making repairs as contemplated by this Article 10; provided, however, that Landlord’s making of such repairs shall be in accordance with the last sentence of Section 19.A. hereof.

12.CASUALTY; DESTRUCTION
A.    Tenant shall give Landlord prompt notice of any fire or other casualty in or to the Premises. Subject to the terms of this Article 11, if the Premises (including Alterations that Tenant has theretofore completed in accordance with Article 8 hereof and/or Landlord's Work) are damaged by fire or other casualty, then, subject to the provisions of this Article 11, Landlord shall diligently repair the damage, with such modifications required to comply with Requirements, to substantially the condition which existed immediately prior to such fire or other casualty; it being understood and agreed that (i) Landlord shall have the right to make such modifications to the Premises required to comply with Requirements, (ii) Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant for Landlord’s failure to commence any such repair to the extent Tenant fails to give such notice to Landlord of such fire or other casualty and (iii) Landlord shall not be required to repair or restore any of Tenant’s Property. From and after the date of such fire or casualty until such repairs which are required to be performed by Landlord are Substantially Completed, the Fixed Annual Rent and the Escalation Rent payable pursuant to Article 2 hereof shall be reduced in the proportion which the area of the part of the Premises which is not usable by Tenant bears to the total area of the Premises immediately prior to such casualty; it being understood that the Substantial Completion of such repairs shall be deemed to have occurred on the date the same would have otherwise occurred but for the acts or omissions of Tenant, its agents, employees, contractors (of any tier) or any other Person claiming by, through, or under Tenant that delay Landlord in the performance thereof, provided Landlord has notified Tenant of such delay. Landlord shall not be obligated to repair any damage to, or to replace, any Alterations if Landlord's insurer fails to make insurance proceeds available to Landlord to cover the cost of repairing such Alterations (excluding Landlord's deductible) by reason of the failure of Tenant to have notified Landlord of the completion of such Alterations and the cost thereof or to have maintained adequate records with respect to such Alterations. In the event of a fire or casualty which affects a portion of the Premises only, Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to minimize interference with Tenant's use and occupancy of the balance of the Premises in making any repairs pursuant to this Article 11. Landlord shall not be obligated to restore the Premises as provided in this Section 11.A. to the extent that this Lease terminates by reason of such fire or other casualty subject to and in accordance with the terms of this Article 11.
B.    If (i) the Premises are rendered wholly or substantially untenantable by fire or other casualty and if Landlord shall decide not to restore the Premises (as contemplated hereby), or (ii) if the Building is so damaged by fire or other casualty that that Landlord shall decide to substantially alter, demolish or reconstruct the Building (regardless of whether the Premises have been damaged or rendered untenantable), then Landlord may terminate this Lease, by giving Tenant notice thereof on or prior to the ninetieth (90th) day following such damage, provided that,
36
#152719409_v7



in the case of clause (i) and (ii), Landlord is also terminated the leases of at least sixty percent (60%) of other similarly-situated office tenants at the Building. If Landlord elects to terminate this Lease as aforesaid, then the Term shall expire upon a date set by Landlord, but not sooner than the tenth (10th) day after Landlord gives such notice and Tenant, on such date, shall vacate and surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord in accordance with the provisions of Article 12 hereof.
C.    Subject to the terms of this Section 11.C, if the Premises are substantially damaged by a fire or other casualty that occurs during the period of twelve (12) months immediately preceding the Fixed Expiration Date, or preceding the last day of the Renewal Term, as the case may be, then either Landlord or Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease by notice given to the other party within thirty (30) days after such fire or other casualty occurs. If either party makes such election, then the Term shall expire on the tenth (10th) day after the notice of such election is given, and, accordingly, Tenant, on or prior to such tenth (10th) day, shall vacate the Premises and surrender the Premises to Landlord in accordance with Article 12 hereof. For purposes of this Section 11.C, the term "substantially damaged" shall mean that in Landlord's reasonable judgment: (a) a fire or other casualty precludes Tenant from using more than thirty percent (30%) of the Premises for the conduct of its business, and (b) Tenant's inability to so use the Premises (or the applicable portion thereof) is reasonably expected to continue until at least the earlier to occur of (i) the Fixed Expiration Date, or the last day of the Renewal Term, as the case may be, and (ii) the ninetieth (90th) day after the date that such fire or other casualty occurs.
D.    Landlord, within ninety (90) days after the earlier to occur of (x) the date that Tenant gives Landlord notice of the occurrence of a fire or other casualty as contemplated by Section 11.A. hereof, and (y) the date that Landlord otherwise has actual notice of such fire or other casualty, shall give to Tenant a statement prepared by a reputable and independent contractor setting forth such contractor's estimate in good faith as to the time required for Landlord to Substantially Complete the restoration described in Section 11.A hereof (such statement that Landlord gives to Tenant being referred to herein as the "Casualty Statement"); provided, however, that Landlord shall not be required to give Tenant a Casualty Statement if Landlord has theretofore exercised Landlord's right to terminate this Lease under Section 11.B. hereof or if the fire or other casualty occurs during the last twelve months of the Term as contemplated in Section 11.C. hereof. If either (i) the estimated time period as set forth in the Casualty Statement exceeds twelve (12) months from the date of the applicable fire or other casualty, or (ii) the restoration described in Section 11.A has not been Substantially Completed by Landlord on or before the later to occur of (x) ninety (90) days following the end of the estimated time period set forth in the Casualty Statement, or (y) fifteen (15) months following the date of the applicable fire or other casualty, then Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease by giving notice to Landlord not later than the thirtieth (30th) day after the date that Landlord gives the Casualty Statement to Tenant. If Tenant makes such election to so terminate this Lease, then the Term shall expire on the thirtieth (30th) day after Tenant gives such notice to Landlord.
E.    Upon the termination of this Lease under this Article 11, provided that no Default has occurred and is then continuing, the Rental shall be apportioned as of the date of such termination and any prepaid portion of Fixed Annual Rent and Escalation Rent that relates to the period after the date that the abatement of Fixed Annual Rent and Escalation Rent as described in Section 11.A. hereof becomes effective shall be refunded promptly by Landlord to Tenant less any amounts that may be then be due and payable by Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Lease (and Landlord's obligation to make such refund shall survive the Expiration Date).
F.    Tenant shall have no right to cancel this Lease by virtue of a fire or other casualty except to the extent specifically set forth herein. This Article 11 is intended to constitute an "express agreement to the contrary" for purposes of Section 227 of the New York Real Property Law.
13.END OF TERM
Subject to Article 8 hereof, Tenant shall surrender the Premises to Landlord on the Expiration Date in good order and condition, except for reasonable wear and tear and damage by fire or other casualty, and Tenant shall remove all Tenant’s Property and any personal property of any Person claiming by, through or under Tenant and all Specialty Alterations. Tenant agrees that any personal property remaining in the Premises following the Expiration Date shall for all purposes be deemed abandoned and Landlord shall be free to dispose of such property, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, in any manner Landlord deems desirable. Landlord may retain or assign any salvage or other residual value of such property. In consideration of Landlord’s disposing of such property, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord or pay to Landlord any cost that Landlord may incur in disposing of such property within ten (10) days after demand therefor. Tenant shall indemnify, defend and save Landlord harmless against (and shall pay to Landlord the amount of) all costs, claims, loss or liability resulting from delay or failure by Tenant in so surrendering the Premises, including, without limitation, if such holdover lasts more than thirty (30) days following the Expiration Date, any claims made by any succeeding tenant arising directly or indirectly from such delay. If vacant and exclusive possession of the Premises is not surrendered to Landlord on the Expiration Date, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord on account of use and occupancy of the Premises, for each month (or any portion thereof) during which Tenant (or a Person claiming by, through or under Tenant) holds over in the Premises after the
37
#152719409_v7



Expiration Date, an amount equal to (a) one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Fixed Annual Rental that was payable under this Lease with respect to the entire Premises during the last month of the Term (without taking into consideration any abatements or credits) for the first sixty (60) days of such holdover, and (b) two hundred percent (200%) of the Fixed Annual Rental that was payable under this Lease with respect to the entire Premises during the last month of the Term (without taking into consideration any abatements or credits) thereafter plus, in either case, one hundred percent (100%) of the Escalation Rent and all other Additional Rent that was payable under this Lease during the last month of the Term; it being understood and agreed, however, that if Tenant pays Expenses or Real Estate Taxes on any basis other than a monthly basis, Landlord shall have the right to calculate the amount of such payments on a monthly basis for purposes of calculating the aforesaid amounts. Anything in this Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, the acceptance of any Rental shall not preclude Landlord from commencing and prosecuting a holdover or summary eviction proceeding, 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 and any successor law of like import. Tenant expressly waives, for itself and for any person claiming through or under the Tenant, any rights which the Tenant or any such Person may have under the provisions of Section 2201 of the New York Civil Practice Law and Rules and of any successor law of like import then in force in connection with any holdover summary proceedings which the Landlord may institute. The obligations set forth in this Article 12 shall survive the Expiration Date.
14.SUBORDINATION AND ESTOPPEL, ETC.
A.This Lease and Tenant's rights hereunder are and shall be subject and subordinate to any and all master leases of the Real Property, ground or underlying leases and subleases and to all mortgages, building loan agreements, leasehold mortgages, spreader and consolidation agreements and other similar documents and instruments together with all renewals, modifications, spreaders, consolidations, replacements, extensions, assignments, and refinancings thereof and to all advances made or hereafter made thereunder (hereinafter referred to individually, as a "Superior Interest" and collectively, as "Superior Interests"), which may now or hereafter affect such leases or subleases or the Real Property of which the Premises form a part and to.

In confirmation of such subordination, Tenant shall within ten (10) Business Days after written request execute any instrument in recordable form that Landlord or the holder of any Superior Interest may reasonably request. In the event that any ground or underlying lease is terminated, or any mortgage foreclosed, this Lease shall not terminate or be terminable by Tenant unless Tenant was specifically named in any termination or foreclosure judgment or final order for the purposes of terminating this Lease or the interest of Tenant in the Premises.
B.Any holder of a Superior Interest may elect that this Lease shall have priority over such Superior Interest and, upon notification by such holder of a Superior Interest to Tenant, this Lease shall be deemed to have priority over such Superior Interest, whether this Lease is dated prior to or subsequent to the date of such Superior Interest. In the event that , after the occurrence of the Applicable Commencement Date, any master lease or any other ground or underlying lease is terminated as aforesaid, or if the interests of Landlord under this Lease are transferred by reason of or assigned in lieu of foreclosure or other proceedings for enforcement of any mortgage, or if the holder of any mortgage acquires a lease in substitution therefor, or if the holder of any Superior Interest shall otherwise succeed to Landlord's estate in this Lease or the Building, or the rights of Landlord under this Lease, then Tenant will, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 13.A above, at the option of the lessor under any such master lease or other ground or underlying lease, the holder of any other Superior Interest or such purchaser, assignee or lessee, as the case may be, to be exercised in writing, (i) attorn to it and perform for its benefit all the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease on the Tenant's part to be performed with the same force and effect as if said lessor, mortgagee or such purchaser, assignee or lessee, were the landlord originally named in this Lease, or (ii) enter into a new lease with said lessor, mortgagee or such purchaser, assignee or lessee, as landlord, for the remaining Term (as the same may be extended pursuant to Article 53 hereof) and otherwise on the same terms, conditions and rentals as herein provided. The foregoing provisions shall inure to the benefit of any such successor landlord, shall apply notwithstanding that, as a matter of law, this Lease may terminate upon the termination of any Superior Interest, shall be self-operative upon any such request and no further instrument shall be required to give effect to said provisions; provided, however, that upon request of any such successor landlord, Tenant shall promptly execute and deliver, from time to time, any instrument in recordable form that any successor landlord may reasonably request to evidence and confirm the foregoing provisions of this Section 13.B, in form and content reasonably satisfactory to each such successor landlord, acknowledging such attornment and setting forth the terms and conditions of its tenancy. Upon such attornment, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect as a direct lease between such successor landlord and Tenant upon all of the then executory terms of this Lease except that such successor landlord shall not be: (a) liable for any previous act or omission or negligence of any prior landlord under this Lease (including, without limitation, Landlord) except to the extent that (i) such act or omission continues after the date that the successor succeeds to Landlord’s interest in the Real Property, and (ii) such act or omission of such prior landlord is of a nature that the successor can cure by performing a service or making a repair; (b) subject to any counterclaim, demand, defense, deficiency, credit or offset which Tenant might have against any prior landlord under this Lease (including, without limitation, Landlord); (c) bound by any modification, amendment, cancellation
38
#152719409_v7



or surrender of this Lease, unless such modification, cancellation, surrender shall have been approved in writing by the successor landlord other than cancellations expressly set forth in this Lease and modifications which are purely ministerial in nature or which memorialize the exercise of an option by Tenant pursuant to the provisions of this Lease; (d) bound by any payment of Rental made by Tenant to a prior landlord (including, without limitation, the then defaulting landlord) more than thirty (30) days in advance of the date such payment is due (other than the first month’s installment of Fixed Annual Rent paid by Tenant upon the execution of this Lease and Escalation Rent that Tenant pays in advance pursuant to Article 2 hereof) except to the extent that such successor landlord actually receives payment thereof, (e) bound by any security deposit, cleaning deposit or other prepaid charge which Tenant might have paid in advance to any prior landlord under this Lease (including, without limitation, Landlord), unless such payments have been received by the successor landlord; or (f) bound by any agreement of any landlord under this Lease (including, without limitation, Landlord) with respect to the completion of any improvements affecting the Premises, the Building, the land or any part thereof or for the payment or reimbursement to Tenant of any contribution to the cost of the completion of any such improvements, provided that, in such case, Tenant shall not be obligated to attorn to such successor landlord and pay successor landlord the Rental payable under this Lease for any portion of the Premises as to which the Applicable Commencement Date has not occurred.
C.Intentionally omitted.
D.(i)    From time to time, Tenant, on ten (10) Business Days' prior written request by Landlord, time being of the essence, will deliver to Landlord and the holder of any Superior Interest a statement in writing (on which any person to whom it is addressed or certified may rely) certifying that this Lease is unmodified and is in full force and effect (or if there have been modifications, that the same is in full force and effect as modified and identifying the modifications) and the dates to which the Rental has been paid, the amounts of Fixed Annual Rent and Escalation Rent, stating the Fixed Expiration Date and whether any renewal option exists (and if so, the terms thereof), stating whether any defense or counterclaim to the payment of any Rental exists, whether any allowance or work is due to Tenant from Landlord, stating whether or not , to Tenant’s knowledge, the Landlord is in default in performance of any covenant, agreement or condition contained in this Lease and, if so, specifying each such default of which Tenant may have knowledge, stating whether any bankruptcy case has been commenced with respect to Tenant, and containing such other non-confidential information as the holder of any Superior Interest may reasonable request. Nothing contained herein will be deemed to impair any right, privilege or option of the holder of any Superior Interest.
(ii)    From time to time, if required by Tenant in connection with a proposed assignment, subletting or if required to comply with any Requirements, Landlord, on ten (10) Business Days' prior written request by Tenant, will deliver to Tenant a statement in writing (on which any person to whom it is addressed or certified may rely) certifying that this Lease is unmodified and is in full force and effect (or if there have been modifications, that the same is in full force and effect as modified and identifying the modifications) and the dates to which the Rental has been paid, the amounts of Fixed Annual Rent and Escalation Rent, stating the Fixed Expiration Date and whether any renewal option exists (and if so, the terms thereof), stating whether or not, to the knowledge of Landlord, Tenant is in default in performance of any covenant, agreement or condition contained in this Lease and, if so, specifying each such default of which Landlord may have knowledge, and containing such other information as Tenant may reasonably request. In no event shall the delivery of any such statement by Landlord be construed as allowing any third party access to the Premises or any other part of the Building to take possession of any personal property in which such party has a secured interest, or for any other purpose, without Landlord’s prior written consent.

E.If, in connection with obtaining, continuing or renewing financing or refinancing for the Building, the land and/or any leasehold estate of Landlord under any master, ground or underlying lease, the lender shall request reasonable modifications to this Lease as a condition to such financing or refinancing, Tenant will execute and deliver such modifications, except that Tenant shall not be required to agree to any such modifications to this Lease that (i) increase Tenant's monetary obligations under this Lease, (ii) adversely affect or diminish Tenant's rights under this Lease (except in either case to a de minimis extent) or (iii) increase Tenant's other obligations under this Lease (except to a de minimis extent) (it being understood that Tenant may be required to give notices of any defaults by Landlord to such lender with the granting of such additional time for such curing as may be required for such lender to get possession of the said building and/or land).
F.If any act or omission by Landlord shall give Tenant the right, immediately or after the lapse of time, to cancel or terminate this Lease (except in connection with a casualty or a condemnation) or to claim a partial or total eviction, Tenant shall not exercise any such right until: (i) it shall have given written notice of such act or omission to each holder of any Superior Interest of which it has written notice, and (ii) a reasonable period for remedying such act or omission shall have elapsed following such notice (which reasonable period shall be equal to the period to which Landlord would be entitled under this Lease to effect such remedy, plus an additional thirty (30) day period), provided such holder or lessor shall, with reasonable diligence, give Tenant notice of its intention to remedy such act or omission and shall commence and continue to act upon such intention.
39
#152719409_v7



G.Landlord hereby advises Tenant that as of the date hereof, there is no mortgage financing or ground, master or underlying lease encumbering the Building. Notwithstanding anything contained hereinabove to the contrary, Landlord shall obtain from the holder of any mortgage or the lessor under any ground, master or underlying lease hereafter encumbering the Real Property of which the Premises form a part, for the benefit of Tenant, a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement ("SNDA"), in the form then customarily used by such entity, but in any event providing in substance that so long no Default has occurred and is continuing, the grantor of such SNDA will not take any action to terminate this Lease or disturb Tenant’s possession of the Premises, notwithstanding any foreclosure of such mortgage. Tenant shall execute and deliver such SNDA and shall pay any reasonable legal fees and other costs imposed by the grantor of such SNDA and/or its attorneys in connection with the negotiation and execution of such SNDA.
15.CONDEMNATION
A.Subject to the terms of this Article 14, in the event that the entire Building, Real Property or Premises shall be lawfully condemned or taken in any manner for any use or purpose, this Lease and the Term and estate hereby granted shall forthwith cease and terminate as of the date of vesting of title (hereinafter referred to as the "date of taking").
B.If only a part of the Building or the Real Property is so condemned or taken and not the entire Premises, then (i) except as hereinafter provided, this Lease shall be and remain unaffected by such condemnation or taking and the Term shall continue in force and effect, but if a part of the Premises is included in the part of the Building or Real Property so acquired or condemned, then, from and after the date of the vesting of title, (x) the Fixed Annual Rent shall be reduced in the proportion which the area of the part of the Premises so acquired or condemned bears to the total area of the Premises immediately prior to such condemnation or taking, and (y) Tenant's Tax Share shall be redetermined based upon the proportion which the rentable area of the Premises remaining after such acquisition or condemnation bears to the rentable area of the Building remaining after such condemnation or taking; and (z) the Tenant's Expense Share shall be redetermined based upon the proportion which the rentable area of the Premises remaining after such condemnation or taking bears to the rentable area of the Building (excluding any retail portion thereof) remaining after such condemnation or taking, (ii) if at least twenty-five percent (25%) of the rentable area of the Building is affected thereby, then Landlord may give to Tenant, within sixty (60) days following the date that Landlord receives notice of vesting of title, a notice of termination of this Lease; and (iii) if the part of the Building or the Real Property so condemned or acquired contains more than twenty-five (25%) percent of the rentable area of Premises immediately prior to such condemnation or taking, or, if by reason of such condemnation or taking, Tenant no longer has reasonable means of access to the Premises as determined by Landlord, in Landlord's reasonable discretion, then Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease by giving notice thereof to Landlord on or prior the sixtieth (60th) day after Tenant receives notice of the taking. Landlord shall promptly give Tenant copies of any notice received from the condemning authority as to vesting. If Landlord or Tenant gives any such notice to terminate this Lease, then this Lease and the Term shall come to an end and expire upon the thirtieth (30th) day after the date that such notice is given. If this Lease shall not be terminated as a result of a partial taking, if any part of the Premises not so taken is damaged, Landlord, at Landlord's own expense, but subject to the extent of the net proceeds (after deducting reasonable expenses including reasonable attorneys' and appraisers' fees and any sums payable to the holder of a Superior Interest) of the award, shall perform the work necessary to restore the damaged portion thereof to substantially the same condition existing immediately prior to the taking with reasonable diligence and with such modifications as may be required by Requirements. Tenant shall be entitled to a proportionate abatement of Fixed Annual Rent and Escalation Rent for that portion of the Premises which is being so restored and which is not usable during the period commencing on the date such damage occurred and ending on the earlier of the date such restoration is Substantially Complete and the date on which such portion of the Premises is used by Tenant.

C.Upon the termination of this Lease and the Term pursuant to the provisions of Section 14.A or 14.B. hereof, the Fixed Annual Rent and Escalation Rent shall be apportioned and any prepaid portion of Fixed Annual Rent and Escalation Rent for any period after such date (less any amounts that may then remain due and payable pursuant to the terms of this Lease) shall be refunded by Landlord to Tenant (and the obligation to make such refund shall survive the Expiration Date).
D.Subject to Section 14.E. hereof, Landlord shall be entitled to receive the entire award for any condemnation or taking of all or any part of the Real Property. Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord or any condemning authority or entity for, nor shall Tenant make any claim for, the value of any unexpired portion of Term and Tenant hereby expressly assigns to Landlord all of its right in and to such award. Nothing contained in this Section 14.D. shall preclude Tenant from making a separate claim in any condemnation proceedings, for the then value of any Tenant's fixtures or personal property included in such taking, and for any moving expenses, provided that such proceedings do not result in a reduction in Landlord's award.

E.If the whole or any part of the Premises is acquired or condemned temporarily during the Term for any use or purpose, then the Term shall not be reduced or affected in any way and, accordingly, Tenant shall continue to pay in full all items of Rental payable by Tenant hereunder without reduction or abatement. Tenant shall be entitled to receive for itself any award or payments for such use; provided, however, that if the acquisition or condemnation is for a period extending beyond the Term, such award or payment shall be apportioned equitably between Landlord and Tenant. Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, shall make Alterations (subject to and in accordance with all applicable provisions of this Lease) to restore the Premises to the condition existing prior to any such temporary acquisition or condemnation.        

16. REQUIREMENTS OF LAW
A.
(i)Tenant, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, shall comply with all Requirements (as hereinafter defined) applicable to the Premises, including, without limitation, (i) Requirements that are applicable to the performance of Alterations, (ii) other than an Impeding Building Violation, Requirements that become applicable by reason of Alterations having been performed by (or on behalf of) Tenant, (iii) Requirements applicable to recycling of waste generated or stored by Tenant or any Person claiming by, through or under Tenant and (iv) Requirements that are applicable by reason of the specific nature or manner of use of the Premises or type of business operated by Tenant (or any other Person on behalf of Tenant or claiming by, through or under Tenant) in the Premises. Subject to Article 30 hereof, Tenant shall not be required to make any Alteration or other changes to the structural components of the Building or the base Building systems to comply with any Requirement unless (a) such Alteration or other change is required by reason of Alterations having been performed by Tenant (or another Person on behalf of Tenant or claiming by, through or under Tenant), or (b) such Alteration or other change is required by reason of the specific nature or manner of use of the Premises or type of business operated by Tenant (or such other Person on behalf of Tenant or claiming by, through or under Tenant) in the Premises (as opposed to the use of the Premises for the general purposes otherwise permitted under Section 1.B. hereof)), or (c) such Alteration or other change is required or necessitated by Tenant's acts or omissions (where there is a duty to act) and/or the acts or omissions of any such other Person on behalf of Tenant or claiming by, through or under Tenant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall not be obligated to cure any violation of Requirements that affects the Premises prior to the Applicable Commencement Date with respect to the 9th Floor Premises and the 20th Floor Premises.
(ii)The term "Requirements" shall mean, collectively, (i) all present and future laws, rules, orders, ordinances, regulations, statutes, requirements, codes and directives and executive orders of all Governmental Authorities, and of any applicable fire rating bureau, or any other body exercising similar functions, as the same may be amended from time to time and (ii) all requirements that the issuer of Landlord's property insurance policy imposes (including, without limitation, any such requirements that such issuer requires as the basis for the premium that such issuer charges Landlord for Landlord's property policy), provided that such requirements that the issuer of Landlord's property policy imposes are reasonably consistent with the requirements imposed by reputable insurers of comparable properties in The City of New York and Tenant shall have been notified of any specific insurance requirement.
(iii)The term "Governmental Authority" shall mean the United States of America, the State of New York, the City of New York, any political subdivision thereof and any agency, department, commission, board, bureau or instrumentality of any of the foregoing, or any quasi-governmental authority, now existing or hereafter created, having jurisdiction over the Real Property or any portion thereof.
(iv)Subject to the terms of this Section 15.A.(iv), if (x) any asbestos or asbestos containing materials ("ACMs") are located in the 9th Floor Premises and/or the 20th Floor Premises on the Applicable Commencement Date and/or in the Expansion Space on the Expansion Space Commencement Date, and (y) applicable Requirements mandate that such asbestos or ACMs be abated, remediated or encapsulated in connection with Landlord’s Work, then Landlord, at Landlord's expense, shall perform such abatement, remediation or encapsulation with reasonable diligence, in accordance with good construction practice and in compliance with all applicable Requirements. Landlord shall not be required to remove any such asbestos or ACMs to the extent that such asbestos or ACMs are installed in the applicable portion of the Premises by Tenant, or any other Person claiming by, through or under Tenant, after the Applicable Commencement Date (or such earlier date that Tenant is allowed access to such portion of the Premises).
(v)Landlord may elect to perform, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, any work necessary to comply with Requirements as required pursuant to Section 15.A.(i) hereof and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the actual and reasonable out-of-pocket costs of performing the same within thirty (30) days following receipt of Landlord's invoice therefor which invoice shall include reasonable supporting documentation for the charges set forth therein.

#152719409_v7



(vi)Subject to the terms of this Section 15.A.(vi), if there exists a violation of applicable Requirements at the Building (which includes the applicable portion of the Premises) on any Applicable Commencement Date that delays or prevents Tenant's occupying the applicable portion of the Premises for the conduct of business (any such violation being referred to herein as an "Impeding Building Violation"), then Landlord, at Landlord's expense, shall use diligent efforts to cause the Impeding Building Violation to be removed as promptly as reasonably practicable after Tenant gives Landlord notice thereof. Nothing contained in this Section 15.A.(vi) shall require Landlord to remove any such Impeding Building Violation to the extent that Section 15.A.(i) hereof requires Tenant to comply therewith. If Landlord is required to cause the Impeding Building Violation to be removed pursuant to this Section 15.A.(vi), then Tenant shall be entitled to apply (until exhausted) a credit against the Rental that is otherwise due hereunder in an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying (I) the number of Business Days that Landlord's curing of such Impeding Building Violation as provided in this Section 15.A.(vi) actually delays, impedes or prohibits Tenant from legally occupying the Premises for the conduct of business, by (II) the quotient obtained by dividing (a) the Fixed Annual Rent that is due hereunder for the first (1st) year after the Commencement Date (without taking into account any rent abatement or credit applicable thereto), by (b) the number of square feet of rentable area in the Premises, by (c) three hundred sixty-five (365) (or three hundred sixty-six (366), if the applicable period occurs in a leap year), by (III) the number of square feet of rentable area in the Premises in or to which Tenant is actually delayed or prohibits from legally occupying the Premises for the conduct of business, as aforesaid; provided, however, that Tenant shall not have the right to apply such credit against the Rental that is otherwise due hereunder unless (x) Tenant gives Landlord notice of such delay not later than the third (3rd) Business Day after the earlier to occur of (1) date that such delay first occurs, and (2) the date on which Tenant is notified that such delay shall occur (whether by Tenant's contractor(s) (of any tier) or any other Person engaged by or on behalf of Tenant or otherwise performing under or on behalf of Tenant) and (y) Tenant includes in such notice to Landlord a reasonable description of the extent of the impact of such actual delay on Tenant occupying the Premises for the conduct of business, and expressly makes reference therein to this Section 15.A.(vi) and Tenant’s right to a credit against the Rental in connection therewith. For the avoidance of any doubt, and notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, an actual delay in Tenant legally occupying the Premises for the conduct of business shall not be deemed to have occurred unless Tenant demonstrates that Tenant was otherwise ready, willing and able to occupy the same for the conduct of business. Furthermore, the time period described in subclause (I) above shall be reduced by that number of days and partial days during which Landlord’s performance of that abatement, remediation, or encapsulation work required pursuant to this Section 15.A.(vi) is delayed as a result of any acts or omissions (where there is a duty to act) of Tenant and/or an Unavoidable Delay.

B.Tenant shall not use the Premises in a manner which shall increase the rate of fire insurance of Landlord or of any other tenant, over that in effect prior to this Lease. If Tenant's use of the Premises increases the fire insurance rate, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all such increased costs; it being understood and agreed that the use of the Premises for ordinary general, administrative, and executive offices will not be deemed to increase the fire insurance rate. That the Premises are being used for the purpose set forth in Article 1 hereof shall not relieve Tenant from the foregoing duties, obligations and expenses.
C.    By way of supplementing and not in limitation of the preceding provisions of this Article 15, if the Building or any portion thereof (i) is now subject to, or Landlord shall hereafter subject the Building or any portion thereof to, any easement, covenant or restriction to (a) preserve or regulate the historical nature or landmark status thereof, (b) designate it as a historical building, historical site or landmark or (c) incorporate it in any historical, landmark or other similar district or (ii) is now or hereafter becomes subject to any Requirement designating it a historical building, historical site, landmark or incorporating it in any historical, landmark or other similar district, whereby, in any such case, any Alteration or change in its physical appearance shall be subject to regulation or approval by any Governmental Authority or other third party, Tenant shall not take or suffer any action that would have the effect of violating any such easement, covenant, restriction or Requirement.
D.    Except to the extent that Tenant is required by the express provisions of this Lease (or another tenant or occupant of the Building is required by the provisions of its lease or occupancy agreement) to comply therewith, Landlord, at its expense, shall comply with all Requirements in respect of the Building, the common areas, the Land and the base Building systems, as same shall affect the Premises or Tenant's use and/or occupancy thereof, but may defer compliance so long as Landlord shall be contesting the validity or applicability thereof, provided that deferring such compliance does not adversely affect Tenant's ability to construct, use and/or occupy the Premises and conduct its business therein for the Permitted Use, for access to the Premises or for the performance of Alterations to the Premises, in accordance with all of the terms and conditions of this Lease including, without limitation, Tenant's ability to obtain permits and licenses to perform Tenant's Initial Installation Work or other Alterations.

#152719409_v7



17.CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY
Tenant will at no time use or occupy the Premises in violation of any certificate of occupancy issued for or statute governing the use of the Building. Nothing contained herein constitutes Landlord's covenant, representation or warranty that the Premises or any part thereof lawfully may be used or occupied for any particular purpose or in any particular manner; provided, however, that during the Term, Landlord shall not modify any existing certificate of occupancy covering the Premises or the Building in a manner which would prohibit the use of the Premises for general, administrative and executive offices or would materially reduce the floor load or the number of permitted occupants permitted in the Premises.
18.POSSESSION
A.    Tenant waives any right to rescind this Lease under Section 223-a of the New York Real Property Law or any successor statute of similar nature and purpose then in force and further waives the right to recover any damages which may result from Landlord’s failure for any reason to deliver possession of any portion of the Premises to Tenant on the Applicable Commencement Date. The provisions of this Article are intended to constitute an "express provision to the contrary" within the meaning of Section 223-a of the New York Real Property Law. Except with respect to the 2nd/3rd Floor Premises (which Tenant currently occupies pursuant to the 2nd/3rd Floor Sublease), if Tenant takes possession of any portion of the Premises for the performance of Alterations or for the conduct of its business therein, all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease shall be applicable to such possession or entry (specifically, including without limitation, the provisions of Article 21 hereof) and subject to Section 23.O. hereof, Landlord reserves the right to accelerate the Applicable Commencement Date to the date that Tenant takes possession thereof (and the Applicable Rent Commencement Date shall be accelerated by the same number of days); it being expressly understood that the foregoing shall not be construed to permit Tenant to access or otherwise take possession of any portion of the Premises prior to the Applicable Commencement Date.
B.    If Landlord's Work is not Substantially Complete with respect to the 9th Floor Premises on or before to the date that is two hundred seventy (270) days following the date of this Lease (as such date may be extended by periods of Unavoidable Delays, Tenant Work Delays, periods of delays in connection with items of Long Lead Work, periods of delay in connection with any Tenant Acts (as such terms are hereinafter defined), periods of delay in connection with repair, rebuilding or restoration following casualty, and periods of delay due to any reason beyond Landlord’s reasonable control, the "9th Floor Outside Date"), then, as Tenant’s sole remedy in connection therewith, the 9th Floor Rent Commencement Date shall be adjourned (i.e., the three hundred ninety-five (395) day period set forth in the definition of “9th Floor Rent Commencement Date” shall be increased by one (1) day for each day in the period beginning on the 9th Floor Outside Date and ending on the day on which Landlord's Work with respect to the 9th Floor Premises is Substantially Complete.
C.    (i)    If Landlord's Work is not Substantially Complete with respect to the 20th Floor Premises on or before to the date that is two hundred seventy (270) days following the date Landlord receives vacant possession of the 20th Floor Premises from the existing tenant or occupant thereof free of all tenancies and rights of occupancy (other than Tenant’s rights under this Lease) and in the condition required under any existing lease or occupancy agreement (as such date may be extended by periods of Unavoidable Delays, Tenant Work Delays, periods of delays in connection with items of Long Lead Work, periods of delay in connection with any Tenant Acts (as such terms are hereinafter defined), periods of delay in connection with repair, rebuilding or restoration following casualty, and periods of delay due to any reason beyond Landlord’s reasonable control, the "20th Floor Outside Date"), then, as Tenant’s sole remedy in connection therewith, the 20th Floor Rent Commencement Date shall be adjourned (i.e., the three hundred ninety-five (395) day period set forth in the definition of “20th Floor Rent Commencement Date” shall be increased by one (1) day for each day in the period beginning on the 20th Floor Outside Date and ending on the day on which Landlord's Work with respect to the 20th Floor Premises is Substantially Complete.
    (ii)    If any prior tenant or occupant of the 20th Floor Premises (prior to the date Landlord receives vacant possession thereof) shall fail to vacate such space on or before the expiration or termination of its lease or occupancy agreement, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts (at no additional cost to Landlord, except for the cost of any holdover proceeding) to minimize such holdover period including, without limitation, by commencing, within a reasonable period, a holdover or other appropriate proceeding.
19.QUIET ENJOYMENT
Landlord covenants that if Tenant pays the Rental when due and payable and timely performs all of Tenant's other obligations under this Lease, Tenant may peaceably and quietly enjoy the Premises, subject to the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease and to any master lease and other Superior Interests.

#152719409_v7



20.RIGHT OF ENTRY AND TENANT’S RIGHT TO ACCESS AND BUILDING SECURITY
A.    Tenant shall provide Landlord, from time to time, with the keys to the Premises (or with the appropriate means to access the Premises using Tenant's electronic security systems). Subject to the terms of this Section 19.A., Landlord, its employees, designees and/or its agents shall have the right to enter or pass through the Premises at all reasonable times, upon reasonable prior notice (which notice may be given verbally to the person employed by Tenant with whom Landlord’s representatives ordinarily discusses matters pertaining to the Premises), (a) to examine the same, (b) to exhibit the Premises to prospective purchasers, tenants, investors, mortgagees, and/or the holders of any Superior Interest (but as to prospective tenants, only during the last twenty-four (24) months of the Term), (c) to make such repairs, installations, improvements, alterations or additions to the Building (whether or not the work to be performed is within the Premises or for its benefit) or the Premises, as may be required by Requirements or as Landlord may deem necessary or, for any reason, desirable, (d) to perform any work permitted or expressly required by the terms of this Lease, (e) to gain access to Reserved Areas and/or (f) to take into and store within and upon the Premises all material that may be used in connection with any such repair, installation, improvement, alteration or addition work (provided such storage does not interfere with the conduct of Tenant’s business). Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, Landlord shall not be required to give Tenant advance notice of any such entry to the extent necessary by reason of the occurrence of an emergency (with the understanding, however, that Landlord shall give Tenant notice of such emergency access as promptly as reasonably practicable thereafter). Such entry, storage, or work in connection with any of the purposes set forth herein shall not constitute an eviction (whether actual or constructive) of Tenant, in whole or in part, or breach of the covenant of quiet enjoyment, shall not be grounds for any abatement of rent (except as otherwise set forth in this Lease), and shall not impose any liability on Landlord to Tenant by reason of inconvenience or injury to Tenant's business or to the Premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, Landlord will repair the Premises to the extent that the necessity for such repair derives from Landlord's access to the Premises as contemplated in this Article 19. Subject to Section 42.G. hereof, Landlord will remain liable to Tenant for personal injury or property damage that derives from Landlord's negligence or willful misconduct in connection with any entry upon the Premises. Tenant shall permit Landlord to erect and maintain concealed pipes, ducts and conduits in and through the Premises provided such erection does not reduce the usable area of the Premises (except to a de minimis extent). Landlord shall have the right at any time, without the same constituting an actual or constructive eviction, and without incurring any liability to Tenant, to change the arrangement and/or location of entrances or passageways, windows, corridors, elevators, stairs, toilets, or other public parts of the Building, and/or to change the name or number by which the Building is known. The Premises shall not include (i) the exterior walls of the Building, (ii) the demising walls of the Premises (except for the interior face thereof), (iii) set-backs, balconies, terraces and roofs that are adjacent to the Premises, (iv) the windows and the portions of all window sills outside same, and (v) space that is now or hereafter used for Building systems or other purposes associated with the operation, repair, management or maintenance of the Real Property, including, without limitation, shafts, stacks, stairways, chutes, pipes, conduits, ducts, fan rooms, mechanical rooms (except for mechanical rooms that exclusively serve the Premises), plumbing facilities, service closets and areas above any hung ceiling, and Landlord hereby reserves all rights to such parts of the Building (the areas described in clauses (iii) and (v) above together with any mechanical rooms that exclusively serve the Premises being collectively referred to herein as the "Reserved Areas"). Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize interference with Tenant's use of the Premises in connection with Landlord's accessing the Premises as contemplated by this Section 19.A; provided, however, that Landlord shall have no obligation to employ contractors or labor at overtime or premium pay rates in connection therewith.
B.    Without further consent by Tenant, Landlord, its managing agent or Landlord’s designee may, after reasonable written or oral notice, at reasonable times, enter the Premises (whether prior or subsequent to the Applicable Commencement Date) to take photographs of the interior thereof (which may not include Tenant’s name or logo) for use in print and electronic marketing materials for any one or more of the Building, Landlord, Landlord’s managing agent or any affiliate thereof. Tenant hereby consents to such use. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such material shall contain the image or likeness of any individual without first obtaining such individual’s consent thereto. Tenant represents and warrants that the use of such photographs will not violate any copyright or trademark rights of any person with respect to the design, furnishing, layout or construction of the Premises.
A.Subject to the terms of this Lease, Tenant, during the Term, shall have access to the Premises at all times, twenty-four (24) hours per day, every day of the year.    
B.(i)    Subject to the terms of this Section 19.D and all other applicable provisions of this Lease, Landlord shall arrange for one (1) concierge or security guard or porter to staff the lobby of the Building at all times, twenty-four (24) hours per day, seven (7) days per week, at no additional cost to Tenant (provided the costs thereof may be included in Expenses). Tenant acknowledges that (i) Landlord, in agreeing to arrange for such security personnel, does not ensure the security of the Building, and (ii) accordingly, Tenant remains responsible for making the Alterations in, and adopting procedures for, the Premises that Tenant considers adequate to provide for Tenant's security.
44
#152719409_v7



(ii)     Tenant may, at its sole cost and expense and subject to the provisions of Article 8 hereof, install a private security system (which may be a card access security system) within the Premises, and Landlord shall permit Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost expense, to integrate (if possible) any card access system used for entry to the Premises with the Building-wide card key security system so that the permitted occupants of the Premises would only need to carry a single access card to gain entry to the Premises and the Building-wide security system so long as such systems are compatible; it being understood and agreed that (x) Landlord shall not be required to delay any installation of a Building-wide security system until Tenant provides plans and specifications for Tenant’s proposed security systems, (y) Tenant’s card access system for the Premises may not be compatible with the Building-wide security system if Tenant provides specifications for Tenant’s proposed security system after Landlord chooses its own security system for the Building, or (z) if Landlord is unable to reasonably accommodate Tenant’s request to install a Building-wide card key system that can interface with Tenant’s own security system, and in case of any of (x) through (z) above or any other failure to provide a Building-wide security system that is compatible with Tenant’s security system, Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant and such failure shall not reduce, diminish or otherwise affect any of Tenant’s covenants and obligations under this Lease and Landlord shall not be liable for any damages therefor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such private security system shall be deemed a Specialty Alteration hereunder without any further notice to Tenant.
E.    Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article 19 to the contrary, but subject to the provisions of this Section 19.E., Landlord may not enter or pass through those portions of the Premises, which are from time to time, in writing from Tenant to Landlord given at least ten (10) Business Days prior thereto, reasonably designated as “Secured Areas,” and appropriately secured by Tenant, without an authorized representative of Tenant; provided, no more than 1,000 rentable square feet in the aggregate may be designated as Secured Areas. The designation by Tenant of a portion of the Premises as a “Secured Area” shall set forth in reasonable detail the exact location of such portion and the reason for such designation, which reason shall be for legitimate security reasons consistent with the operation of the businesses being conducted in the Premises and not primarily for the purpose of excluding Landlord therefrom. Tenant shall from time to time furnish Landlord with a list of such authorized representatives, including the telephone numbers and addresses of such persons in the event that Landlord requires such access at times when no authorized representative is in the Building. If in Landlord’s reasonable judgment no authorized representative is available or no authorized representative is available when needed (e.g., in the case of an emergency), then Landlord shall have the right to enter the Secured Area without a representative of Tenant. In addition, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 19.E., in an emergency or if entering or passing through the Premises (or any portions thereof, including a Secured Area) is required by, or is pursuant to, any applicable Requirement (for example, an inspection by the New York City Fire Department), and if a representative of Tenant is not available, Landlord or Landlord’s agent, and/or such persons who are reasonably required to enter or pass through the Premises (or any portions thereof) in connection with such emergency or Requirement, shall have the right, without notice to, or request of, or accompaniment by, Tenant or Tenant’s representative, to so enter or pass through the Premises (or any portions thereof, including such Secured Areas). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, Landlord shall have no obligation to provide cleaning services to any Secured Area unless Tenant provides reasonable access during the times such cleaning services are being performed by Landlord’s cleaning contractor, and Tenant shall not be entitled to any rent credit as a result thereof.
21.VAULT SPACE
Anything contained in any plan or blueprint to the contrary notwithstanding, no vault or other space not within the Building property line is demised hereunder. Any use of such space by Tenant shall be deemed to be pursuant to a license, revocable at will by Landlord, without diminution of the Rental payable hereunder. If Tenant shall use such vault space, any fees, taxes or charges made by any Governmental Authority for such space shall be paid by Tenant.
22.INDEMNITY
The term "Landlord Parties" shall mean collectively, Landlord, Landlord's managing agent, each holder of a Superior Interest and each of their respective partners, members, managers, officers, directors, employees, principals, trustees and agents. The term "Landlord Party" shall mean any of the foregoing individually. To the fullest extent of the law, Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold the Landlord Parties harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, liability, losses, damages, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) arising from or in connection with: (a) any breach or default by Tenant in the full and prompt payment and performance of Tenant’s obligations hereunder; (b) the use or occupancy or manner of use or occupancy of the Premises by Tenant or any Person claiming by, under or through Tenant; (c) any negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or any of its subtenants, assignees or licensees or its or their partners, principals, directors, officers, agents, invitees, employees, guests, customers or contractors (of any tier) while in the Building; (d) any accident, injury or damage occurring in or about the Premises; (e) the performance by Tenant (or any Person on behalf of Tenant, or any Person claiming by, through, or under, Tenant, including, without limitation, any Person engaged by or on behalf of Tenant) of any Alteration in, to or about the Premises, including, without limitation, the
45
#152719409_v7



failure of Tenant or any such Person to obtain any permit, authorization or license or failure to pay in full any contractor, subcontractor or materialmen performing such Alteration; (f) a misrepresentation made by Tenant hereunder (including, without limitation, a misrepresentation of Tenant under Article 40 hereof);and (g) any mechanics lien filed, claimed or asserted in connection with any Alteration or any other work, labor, services or materials done for or supplied to, or claimed to have been done for or supplied to Tenant, or any Person claiming through or under Tenant. Tenant shall not be required to indemnify the Landlord Parties, and hold the Landlord Parties harmless, in either case as aforesaid, to the extent that it is finally determined that the negligence or willful misconduct of a Landlord Party contributed to the loss or damage sustained by the Person making the claim against Landlord. If any claim, action or proceeding is brought against any of the Landlord Parties for a matter covered by this indemnity, Tenant, upon notice from the indemnified Person shall defend such claim, action or proceeding with counsel reasonably satisfactory to Landlord and the indemnified Person (which shall include counsel reasonably designated by Tenant’s insurer). The parties intend that the Landlord Parties (other than Landlord) shall be third-party beneficiaries of this Section 21.A.
B.    The term “Tenant Parties” shall mean collectively, Tenant and its respective partners, members, managers, officers, directors, employees, principals, trustees and agents. The term "Tenant Party" shall mean any of the foregoing individually. Subject to the terms of this Section 21.B., to the fullest extent permitted by law (but subject to the last sentence of Article 25 below), Landlord shall indemnify, defend and hold the Tenant Parties harmless, from and against, all losses, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements) that are incurred by a Tenant Party arising from or alleged to arise from (i) any negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord (or the negligence or willful misconduct of the Person that has the right to occupy the Premises by virtue of Landlord's exercising Landlord's rights under Section 4.B. hereof); (ii) any breach by Landlord under this Lease, (iii) any accident, injury or damage occurring in or about the common areas or unoccupied portions of the Building during the Term hereof, and (iv) a misrepresentation made by Landlord hereunder (including, without limitation, a misrepresentation made pursuant to Article 40 hereof). Landlord shall not be required to indemnify the Tenant Parties, and hold the Tenant Parties harmless, in either case as aforesaid, to the extent that it is finally determined that the negligence or willful misconduct of a Tenant Party contributed to the loss or damage sustained by the Person making the claim against Tenant or to the extent the loss or damage is covered or would be covered by the insurance Tenant is required to maintain pursuant to Article 42 hereof. If any claim, action or proceeding is brought against any of the Tenant Parties for a matter covered by this indemnity, Landlord, upon notice from the indemnified person or entity, shall defend such claim, action or proceeding with counsel reasonably satisfactory to Tenant and the indemnified person or entity. The parties intend that the Tenant Parties (other than Tenant) shall constitute third-party beneficiaries of this Section 21.B
C.    The provisions of this Article 21 shall survive the Expiration Date.
23.INABILITY TO PERFORM; LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
A.Subject to Articles 11 and 14 hereof and Section 22.E below, this Lease and the obligation of Tenant to pay Rental hereunder and to perform all of Tenant's other covenants shall not be affected, impaired or excused, and Landlord shall not have any liability to Tenant, to the extent that Landlord is unable to perform Landlord's covenants under this Lease by reason of any cause beyond Landlord's control, including without limitation (i) strikes, (ii) labor troubles, (iii) governmental pre-emption in connection with a national emergency, (iv) any Requirement, (v) conditions of supply or demand, (vi) conditions affected by, or actions (including without limitation any evacuation or closure of the Building) taken by Landlord or others reasonably intended to assure the health, security or safety of the Building or any person in response to, war, any act of terrorism or violence (even if not directed at the Building or any occupant thereof), or other national, state or municipal emergency (whether or not officially proclaimed by any Governmental Authority), (vii) the occurrence of an act of God, or (vii) unavailability of power or any disruption of electrical or any other utility service (such events collectively, "Unavoidable Delays"); provided, however, that Landlord shall not have the right to claim under this Section 22.A. that Landlord's failure to have funds available to make a payment of money constitutes an excuse for Landlord's performance of an obligation of Landlord hereunder. Subject to Articles 11 and 14 hereof and Section 22.E below, this Lease and the obligation of Landlord to perform all of Landlord's covenants hereunder shall not be affected, impaired or excused, and Tenant shall not have any liability to Landlord, to the extent that Tenant is unable to perform Tenant's covenants under this Lease by reason of any Unavoidable Delay; provided, however, that Tenant’s failure to make a payment of money (including any failure to satisfy a lien, judgment or other monetary obligation), or any other event that derives from Tenant’s lack of funds shall not constitute an Unavoidable Delay for purposes hereof.
B.Subject to the provisions of Section 22.E hereof, Landlord shall have the right, without incurring any liability to Tenant, to stop any service because of accident or emergency, or for repairs, alterations or improvements, necessary or desirable in the judgment of Landlord to the Building or the Premises, until such repairs, alterations or improvements shall have been completed, provided Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to perform such repairs, alterations or improvements in a manner reasonably intended to limit the duration of any such
46
#152719409_v7



repairs, alterations or improvement that unreasonably interfere with Tenant’s business operations (provided the foregoing shall not obligate Landlord to engage overtime or premium pay labor).

(ii)    Landlord shall, at Landlord’s expense, perform the work described on Exhibit “B-1”, attached hereto and made a part hereof, in the 9th Floor Premises using Building Standard Installations (as hereinafter defined) (such work collectively, "Landlord’s Base Building Work").

(iii)    Landlord shall, at Landlord's expense, but subject to the provisions of Section 23.K and as otherwise expressly provided in this Lease, perform the work to construct the 9th Floor Premises to prepare the same for Tenant's initial occupancy thereof, in accordance with the Final Plans (as hereinafter defined) to be prepared by TPG Architecture, LLP (“Architect”), at Landlord’s expense (except as otherwise herein set forth), which Final Plans shall be based upon those certain drawings identified as Test Fit 1 – Revision 6, prepared by Architect and dated February 9, 2022 (the "Final Space Plan"), a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit "B-3" and made a part hereof (the aforesaid work (the “Landlord’s 9th Floor Turn-Key Work”), together with Landlord's Base Building Work on the 9th Floor Premises, "Landlord's 9th Floor Premises Work"). Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary (including Landlord’s agreement to retain the Architect at Landlord’s expense), any costs payable to Architect to any other party associated with Tenant’s security system, audio/visual system and consultation and any other work related to furniture coordination and procurement shall be payable by Tenant. Landlord shall perform Landlord's 9th Floor Premises Work using those materials and finishes more particularly set forth in that certain work specification letter attached hereto and made a part hereof as Exhibit "B-2"; provided, however, if such materials and/or finishes are not then readily available or Landlord reasonably determines that using such materials and/or finishes would delay the Substantial Completion of Landlord’s 9th Floor Premises Work, then Landlord shall have the right to substitute such materials and/or finishes with materials and/or finishes that are then being utilized by Landlord with respect to the construction of other space in the Building and which are reasonably comparable in quality and price to those set forth in such letter (such materials and finishes then being utilized by Landlord with respect to the construction of other space in the Building are hereinafter referred to as the "Building Standard Installations"; such letter, the "Work Letter"). Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, if Landlord shall determine that a Building Standard Installation needs to be substituted for any materials and/or finishes shown in the Work Letter and such substitution would result in any material difference in the aesthetic of the 9th Floor Premises upon Substantial Completion of Landlord’s 9th Floor Premises Work, then Landlord shall first notify Tenant thereof (which notice may be by email to Brittany.caudle@progyny.com and mfiechter@TPGArchitecture.com) and Tenant shall have the right, by notice given within two (2) Business Days, time being of the essence, to require that Landlord utilize the materials and/or finishes described in the Work Letter (instead of Landlord’s suggested Building Standard Installation); provided, if Tenant makes such election not to use the Building Standard Installation suggested by Landlord, any delay in the Substantial Completion of Landlord’s 9th Floor Premises Work due to utilizing the materials and finishes in the Work Letter (or any other materials and/or finishes selected by Tenant that are not the Building Standard Installations) shall be deemed a Tenant Work Delay and any additional cost incurred in connection therewith shall be pursuant to Section 23.I. Tenant hereby agrees that any supplemental air-conditioning system included as part of Landlord’s 9th Floor Premises Work shall be installed by Landlord as part of Landlord’s 9th Premises Work, but the cost thereof shall be payable by Tenant to Landlord within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s written demand therefor. Tenant hereby approves the Final Space Plan and the Work Letter and the acknowledges and agrees that subject to any Change Orders (as hereinafter defined), the Final Space Plan and the Work Letter are final and Tenant shall not have the right to make any changes thereto from and after the date hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, (I) Landlord shall not be obligated to install any (x) furniture or built-ins, (y) security systems, and/or (z) artwork, in any case, even if same are shown on the Final Space Plan or the Final Plans, and (II) Tenant shall pay for any and all items of Tenant Extra Work subject to and in accordance with the provisions of this Section 23 below. Tenant hereby acknowledges and agrees that notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, any telecommunication wiring, cabling, or equipment installed by Landlord as part of Landlord’s 9th Floor Premises Work (even if shown on the Final Space Plan or the Final Plans) shall be installed at Tenant’s sole cost and expense (and Tenant shall reimburse for all actual and reasonable out-of-pocket costs associated therewith within thirty (30) days after receipt of Landlord’s invoice therefor). During the performance of Landlord’s 9th Floor Work, at no additional cost to Landlord, Landlord shall reasonably cooperate with Tenant to cause the general contractor performing Landlord’s 9th Floor Work to coordinate the installation of all cabling and wiring in the 9th Floor Premises with Tenant’s designated vendor with respect thereto (provided that the same shall not result in any delay in the Substantial Completion of Landlord’s 9th Floor Work).

(iv)    Tenant shall provide the Architect with all input and information necessary to enable the Architect to prepare and deliver to Landlord on or prior to the date that is forty-five (45) days following the date of this Lease (the "Plan Deadline"), in the manner set forth in this Section 23, the plans ("Tenant’s Initial Plans"), which shall be (i) based upon the Final Space Plan, (ii) one hundred percent (100%) complete and ready to bid and build (including, without limitation, layout, architectural, mechanical, structural, engineering and plumbing drawings, to the extent applicable), (iii) stamped and approved by
48
#152719409_v7



Architect, and (iv) in format containing sufficient detail (x) for Landlord and Landlord's consultants to reasonably assess the proposed work to prepare the 9th Floor Premises for Tenant's initial occupancy, and (y) to permit Landlord to make all necessary filings with Governmental Authorities to obtain the required permits, approvals and certificates to allow Landlord to commence Landlord’s 9th Floor Premises Work (the requirements set forth in clauses (i)-(iv) hereof, the "Plan Requirements").

(v)    Tenant shall provide the Architect with all input and information necessary to enable the Architect to revise Tenant’s Initial Plans if and to the extent that Landlord objects or comments thereto and deliver to Landlord in the manner set forth in this Section 23 hereof, the Tenant’s Initial Plans, as so revised, which revised plans shall (i) address all of Landlord's objections and comments to Landlord’s reasonable satisfaction and (ii) satisfy all of the Plan Requirements (the Tenant’s Initial Plans either (x) revised to Landlord's reasonable satisfaction as aforesaid, or (y) if Landlord shall confirm in writing that Landlord does not have any objections thereto, as applicable, shall constitute the "Final Plans"). If Landlord objects or comments on Tenant's Initial Plans as contemplated herein, Tenant shall cause Architect to deliver the Final Plans to Landlord on or prior to the date which is five (5) Business Days following the date that Landlord gives Tenant Landlord’s objections and/or comments, if any, to Tenant’s Initial Plans (such date, the "Revision Deadline").

(vi)    If Tenant requests any modifications to Landlord’s Work and/or the Final Space Plan and/or the Work Letter (or Tenant’s Initial Plans or the Final Plans), which request shall be made in writing to Landlord specifying in detail the scope of such modification, any such deviation or modification shall be subject to Landlord’s approval in accordance with the provisions with Article 8 hereof. Any deviation in Landlord’s Work from the Final Space Plan and/or the Work Letter (or Tenant’s Initial Plans or the Final Plans) that is requested by Tenant (including, without limitation, any Long Lead Work) shall be referred to as a “Change Order”. Promptly following Landlord’s receipt of a Change Order request from Tenant, Landlord shall notify Tenant of (i) the estimated additional costs (if any) that Landlord would incur in connection with the performance of such Change Order and (ii) the estimated additional time, if any, to be incurred by Landlord in connection with the performance of the Landlord’s Work due to such Change Order. Within three (3) Business Days following Landlord’s notice pursuant to the preceding sentence, Tenant shall notify (a “Change Order Notice”) Landlord if Tenant wants Landlord to proceed with the Change Order, in which case (x) Tenant shall be solely responsible for the all additional cost thereof and shall pay same to Landlord as Additional Rent hereunder within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s written demand therefor (even if such additional costs exceed the estimate provided by Landlord) and (y) any actual delay in the Substantial Completion of Landlord’s Work to the extent due to such Change Order shall be deemed a Tenant Work Delay hereunder (even if such delay exceeds the estimate provided by Landlord). If Tenant fails to send a Change Order Notice within the time period set forth above or if Tenant elects that Landlord not perform the Change Order or if a Change Order request has not been approved by Landlord, Landlord shall have no obligation to perform the Change Order as part of the Landlord’s Work. Further, if and to the extent Landlord is actually delayed in performing Landlord’s Work due to a Change Order (e.g., if Landlord stops work already in progress due to a Change Order request), the aggregate time elapsed after the submission of a Change Order request by Tenant through and including the later to occur of (a) the date Tenant sends a Change Order Notice or the date Tenant notifies Landlord that Tenant is electing not to proceed with such Change Order or (b) the expiration of the date on which Tenant may send a Change Order Notice shall constitute a Tenant Work Delay hereunder.

(i)    Tenant expressly acknowledges that it has inspected the 20th Floor Premises and is fully familiar with the physical condition thereof. Subject to Article 10 hereof, (a) Tenant shall accept possession of the 20th Floor Premises in the condition that exists on the 20th Floor Commencement Date "as is," (subject to the Substantial Completion of Landlord’s Work therein) and (b) Landlord shall have no obligation to perform any work or make any installations in order to prepare the Building or the 20th Floor Premises for Tenant's occupancy other than Landlord's 20th Floor Premises Work.

(iii)    Landlord shall, at Landlord's expense (but subject to the 20th Floor Maximum Contribution Amount and subject to the provisions of Section 23.K and as otherwise expressly provided in this Lease), perform the work to construct the 20th Floor Premises to prepare the same for Tenant's initial

occupancy thereof, in accordance with the Final 20th Floor Plans (as hereinafter defined) to be prepared by a reputable architect selected by Tenant and reasonably acceptable to Landlord (“Architect”) (it being agreed that TPG Architecture, LLP shall be deemed to be acceptable to Landlord), which Final Plans shall be based upon drawings (the “20th Floor Final Space Plan”) and a work letter identifying materials and finishes and fixtures (the “20th Floor Work Letter”) to be provided by Tenant to Landlord on or before June 30, 2023, time being of the essence (the aforesaid work (the “Landlord’s 20th Floor Turn-Key Work”), together with Landlord's Base Building Work on the 20th Floor Premises, "Landlord's 20th Floor Premises Work"). Landlord shall perform Landlord's 20th Floor Premises Work using those materials and finishes more particularly set forth in the 20th Floor Work Letter; provided, however, if such materials and/or finishes are not then readily available or Landlord reasonably determines that using such materials and/or finishes would delay the Substantial Completion of Landlord’s 20th Floor Work, then Landlord shall have the right to substitute such materials and/or finishes with Building Standard Installations. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, if Landlord shall determine that a Building Standard Installation needs to be substituted for any materials and/or finishes shown in the 20th Floor Work Letter and such substitution would result in any material difference in the aesthetic of the 20th Floor Premises upon Substantial Completion of Landlord’s 20th Floor Work, then Landlord shall first notify Tenant thereof (which notice may be by email to Brittany.caudle@progyny.com and mfiechter@TPGArchitecture.com) and Tenant shall have the right, by notice given within two (2) Business Days, time being of the essence, to require that Landlord utilize the materials and/or finishes described in the 20th Floor Work Letter (instead of Landlord’s suggested Building Standard Installation); provided, if Tenant makes such election not to use the Building Standard Installation suggested by Landlord, any delay in the Substantial Completion of Landlord’s 20th Floor Work due to utilizing the materials and finishes in the 20th Floor Work Letter (or any other materials and/or finishes selected by Tenant that are not the Building Standard Installations) shall be deemed a Tenant Work Delay. Tenant hereby agrees that any supplemental air-conditioning system included as part of Landlord’s 20th Floor Premises Work shall be installed by Landlord as part of Landlord’s 20th Premises Work, but the cost thereof shall be payable by Tenant to Landlord within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s written demand therefor. Tenant hereby acknowledges and agrees that subject to any Change Orders (as hereinafter defined), the 20th Floor Final Space Plan and the 20th Floor Work Letter shall be final once submitted to Landlord and Tenant shall not have the right to make any changes thereto from and after the date hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, (I) Landlord shall not be obligated to install any (x) furniture or built-ins, (y) security systems, and/or (z) artwork, in any case, even if same are shown on the 20th Floor Final Space Plan or the 20th Floor Final Plans, and (II) Tenant shall pay for any and all items of Tenant Extra Work subject to and in accordance with the provisions of this Section 23 below. Tenant hereby acknowledges and agrees that notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, any telecommunication wiring, cabling, or equipment installed by Landlord as part of Landlord’s 20th Floor Premises Work (even if shown on the 20th Floor Final Space Plan or the or the 20th Floor Final Plans) shall be installed at Tenant’s sole cost and expense (and Tenant shall reimburse for all actual and reasonable out-of-pocket costs associated therewith within thirty (30) days after receipt of Landlord’s invoice therefor). During the performance of Landlord’s 20th Floor Work, at no additional cost to Landlord, Landlord shall reasonably cooperate with Tenant to cause the general contractor performing Landlord’s 20th Floor Work to coordinate the installation of all cabling and wiring in the 20th Floor Premises with Tenant’s designated vendor with respect thereto (provided that the same shall not result in any delay in the Substantial Completion of Landlord’s 20th Floor Work).

(iv)    Notwithstanding anything contained herein, if the hard and soft costs to perform Landlord’s 20th Floor Turn-Key Work shall exceed the 20th Floor Maximum Contribution Amount, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount of such excess within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s demand therefor (it being agreed that Landlord shall be permitted to submit such request for payment based on the estimated cost of Landlord’s 20th Floor Turn-Key Work and if the actual cost shall exceed the estimated amount, Landlord shall promptly credit such excess against the next installment(s) of Fixed Annual Rent payable under this Lease and if there shall have been an underpayment, Tenant shall pay the amount of the underpayment within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s demand therefor). For purposes hereof, the “20th Floor Maximum Contribution Amount” shall be an amount equal to (a) the rentable square foot area of the 20th Floor Premises (i.e., 21,262), multiplied by (b) the actual out-of-pocket cost, on a rentable square foot basis, incurred by Landlord to perform Landlord 9th Floor Turn Key Work (expressly excluding any Landlord’s Base Building Work in the 9th Floor Premises), which amount shall be increased or decreased by a percentage equal to the percentage increase or decrease in the CPI (as hereinafter defined) from the 9th Floor Premises Commencement Date until the date Landlord shall commence Landlord’s 20th Floor Premises Work. For example, if the Landlord’s 9th Floor Turn Key Work cost $1,204,950.00 (i.e., $50 per rentable square foot of the 9th Floor Premises), then the 20th Floor Maximum Contribution Amount shall be $1,063,100.00 (i.e., 21,262 multiplied by $50), as such amount shall be increased or decreased by the percentage increase or decrease in the CPI between the 9th Floor Premises Commencement Date and the date Landlord shall commence Landlord’s 20th Floor Premises Work. In addition to the foregoing, any
50

delays in performing Landlord’s 20th Floor Turn Key Work in excess of the time that it would take to perform Building Standard Installations shall be deemed a Tenant’s Work Delay for purposes hereof.

(v)    Tenant shall provide the Architect with all input and information necessary to enable the Architect to prepare and deliver to Landlord on or prior to August 11, 2023 (the "20th Floor Plan Deadline"), in the manner set forth in this Section 23, the plans ("Tenant’s Initial 20th Floor Plans"), which shall be (i) based upon the 20th Floor Final Space Plan, (ii) one hundred percent (100%) complete and ready to bid and build (including, without limitation, layout, architectural, mechanical, structural, engineering and plumbing drawings, to the extent applicable), (iii) stamped and approved by Architect, and (iv) in format containing sufficient detail (x) for Landlord and Landlord's consultants to reasonably assess the proposed work to prepare the 20th Floor Premises for Tenant's initial occupancy, and (y) to permit Landlord to make all necessary filings with Governmental Authorities to obtain the required permits, approvals and certificates to allow Landlord to commence Landlord’s 20th Floor Premises Work (the requirements set forth in clauses (i)-(iv) hereof, the "20th Floor Plan Requirements").

If Landlord objects or comments on Tenant's Initial 20th Floor Plans as contemplated herein, Tenant shall cause Architect to deliver the 20th Floor Final Plans to Landlord on or prior to the date which is five (5) Business Days following the date that Landlord gives Tenant Landlord’s objections and/or comments, if any, to Tenant’s Initial 20th Floor Plans (such date, the "20th Floor Revision Deadline").

In the event that CPI-AUC ceases to use a 1982-84 base rate of 100 as the basis of calculation, then the CPI-AUC shall be adjusted to the figure that would have been arrived at had the manner of computing the CPI-AUC in effect at the date of this Lease not been altered. If CPI-AUC is not available or may not lawfully be used for the purposes herein stated, the term “Consumer Price Index” shall mean (i) a successor or substitute index to CPI-AUC, appropriately adjusted; or (ii) if such a successor or substitute index is not available or may not lawfully be used for the purposes herein stated, a reliable governmental or other non-partisan publication, selected by Tenant and approved by Landlord (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), evaluating the information theretofore used in determining CPI-AUC.

(ii)"Tenant Work Delays" shall mean the acts or omissions of Tenant, its agents, employees, contractors (of any tier) or any other Person claiming by, though, or under Tenant (including, without limitation, (v) any changes or Change Orders to plans or finishes, including, without limitation, requests for items of Tenant Extra Work, (w) the performance of any other work by or on behalf of Tenant or any Person claiming by, through or under Tenant, (x) the failure to deliver the information required for the Architect to deliver Tenant's Initial Plans or Tenant’s Initial 20th Floor Plans to Landlord on or prior to the applicable deadline therefor, and/or the failure to deliver the information required for the Architect to deliver the Final Plans or the 20th Floor Final Plans to Landlord on or prior to the applicable deadline therefor, in either case, in compliance with the applicable requirements therefor and in accordance with the provisions of this Article 23, (y) delays or failures to promptly notify or promptly respond to requests of Landlord and/or (z) the failure to make any of the payments required by this Article 23 within the time periods specified therein) that delay Landlord in the performance of Landlord's Work provided that Landlord shall notify Tenant of such delay promptly after Landlord determines that such a delay exists.

Pricing", “Tenant Extra Work” or similar language denoting any alternatives from the Final Space Plan and/or (iii) additional installations that exceed the scope of Landlord's Work. The cost for performing any Tenant Extra Work shall be determined in accordance with Landlord's standard bidding procedure. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, Landlord shall have the right to let the construction contract to the lowest responsible qualified bidder without taking into account the cost of any items of Tenant Extra Work (with the understanding that Landlord shall have the right to exercise Landlord's reasonable business judgment in selecting the form of contractual arrangement for the construction contract).
(ii)    Landlord shall notify Tenant pursuant to Section 23.L hereof after Landlord's bidding procedure is completed of the estimated price for each item of Tenant Extra Work. On or prior to three (3) Business Days after Landlord gives Tenant notice of such estimated price (the "Tenant Extra Estimate"), Tenant shall pay Landlord an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the Tenant Extra Estimate for such Tenant Extra Work (such payment received by Landlord, the "Initial Tenant Extra Work Estimate Payment"; it being understood and agreed that (x) if Tenant fails to pay such Initial Tenant Extra Work Estimate Payment within the aforesaid three (3) Business Day period, or (y) if Tenant notifies Landlord not to perform such item of Tenant Extra Work, then, in either event, (i) Landlord shall have the right (but not the obligation) to substitute a Building Standard Installation for such item of Tenant Extra Work if the same is capable of being so substituted and if Landlord is unable or unwilling to substitute a Building Standard Installation for such item of Tenant Extra Work, then such item shall be excluded from Landlord's Work and Landlord shall have no obligation to perform the same and (ii) Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any and all soft costs that may have been actually incurred by Landlord in connection with such item(s) of Tenant Extra Work within ten (10) days following receipt of Landlord's invoice therefor (including, without limitation, any softs costs incurred for items of Tenant Extra Work which Tenant elected for Landlord not to perform or with respect to which Tenant failed to respond as contemplated herein, as the case may be). The remaining portion of the Tenant Extra Estimate (i.e., fifty percent (50%) of the Tenant Extra Estimate) (the “Second Tenant Extra Work Estimate Payment”) shall be payable by Tenant ten (10) days prior to the date Landlord to obligated to make such payment to its contractor or to any other party (it being agreed that Landlord shall provide Tenant with at least thirty (30) days’ notice prior to such required payment date). In the event that any item of Tenant Extra Work creates a field condition that requires a change to Landlord's Work resulting in an increase of the cost of Landlord's Work, Landlord shall have the right before proceeding with such change to require Tenant (a) to agree in writing to pay such increase in cost within three (3) Business Days from the date of Landlord's request (which request may be verbal) for Tenant's agreement and (b) to pay such increase within three (3) Business Days of Landlord's invoice therefor, which invoice may be based upon a reasonable estimate thereof. If Tenant shall fail or refuse to so agree to and/or pay for such increase then Landlord shall have the right (but not the obligation) to either refuse to perform such Tenant Extra Work, and continue the performance of Landlord's Work without making the changes thereto contemplated by such Tenant Extra Work or to revise the scope of Landlord's Work so as not to require a change resulting from a field condition (it being understood that Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any and all costs (including soft costs) that may have been actually incurred by Landlord in connection with or as a result of such item(s) of Tenant Extra Work within thirty (30) days following receipt of Landlord's invoice therefor). Landlord shall give to Tenant, within sixty (60) days after the date that Landlord Substantially Completes Landlord's Work, a notice that sets forth the actual hard and soft costs incurred by or on behalf of Landlord in performing all items of Tenant Extra Work, if any (the "Actual Tenant Extra Work Cost") (such notice being referred to herein as the "Final Cost Notice"). Tenant shall pay to Landlord, within thirty (30) days after the date that Landlord gives the Final Cost Notice to Tenant, an amount equal to the excess (if any) of (I) the Actual Tenant Extra Work Cost, as reflected in the Final Cost Notice, over (II) the Initial Tenant Extra Work Estimate Payment (if any) and the Second Tenant Extra Work Estimate Payment (if any). Landlord shall pay to Tenant, within thirty (30) days after the date that Landlord gives the Final Cost Notice to Tenant, an amount equal to the excess (if any) (I) the Initial Tenant
53
#152719409_v7



Extra Work Estimate Payment and the Second Tenant Extra Work Estimate Payment, over (II) the Actual Tenant Extra Work Cost, as reflected in the Final Cost Notice.
L.     Notwithstanding the provisions of Article 28 hereof to the contrary, any notices required to be given pursuant to this Article 23 shall be deemed given if sent to Tenant via electronic mail to the attention of Brittany.caudle@progyny.com and mfiechter@TPGArchitecture.com.
M.    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if, and to the extent permitted by applicable Requirements, Tenant shall have the right to enter the 9th Floor Premises and the 20th Floor Premises prior to the Applicable Commencement Date at times to be coordinated and approved in advance with Landlord and the property management team for the Building in order to (x) install its computer equipment, audio/visual equipment and voice and data telecommunications equipment, including, any related cabling and wiring, and (y) to take measurements for space planning and furniture purposes and for any other reasonable purpose, provided that during said period (the "Early Access Period") (i) subject to the penultimate sentence of this Section 23.M, Tenant shall comply with all terms and conditions of this Lease, including without limitation, the provisions of Article 21 hereof; it being understood and agreed that subject to the penultimate sentence of this Section 23.M, all provisions of this Lease shall govern and apply during the Early Access Period notwithstanding that the Applicable Commencement Date has not yet occurred; (ii) Tenant shall coordinate the timing and scheduling of the aforesaid work so as not to (x) interfere with the operation of the Building or Landlord's performance of Landlord's Work, or (y) delay Landlord's completion of Landlord’s Work (it being understood and agreed, however, that to the extent Landlord's Work is delayed by or in connection with Tenant's early access to the Premises as aforesaid, the same shall constitute a Tenant Work Delay), and (iii) Tenant shall not begin operation of its business in the applicable portion of the Premises or the performance of any Alterations (except the installation of certain equipment, as expressly contemplated by this Section 23.M) prior to the Applicable Commencement Date. Notwithstanding the provisions of clause (i) hereof to the contrary, during the Early Access Period, Tenant shall not be obligated to pay Fixed Annual Rent, or Escalation Rent with respect to the applicable portion of the Premises. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any equipment or other installations whatsoever installed by or on behalf of Tenant during the Early Access Period as permitted herein shall be installed at Tenant's sole risk, cost and expense; it being expressly understood that Landlord shall not have any liability whatsoever to Tenant in connection with such equipment or installations (including, without limitation, liability for any damage thereto or theft thereof).
N.    In addition to the Landlord’s obligations with respect to Landlord’s Work, within one hundred eighty (180) days following the date of this Lease (and not as a condition to the occurrence of any Applicable Commencement Date), Landlord shall install turnstiles (in an amount determined by Landlord) in the main lobby of the Building in a location determined by Landlord and in a Building standard manner (as determined by Landlord).
O.    Promptly following the date of this Lease, Landlord shall install Landlord’s Building-standard bipolar ionization equipment within the HVAC systems servicing the 2nd Floor Premises.
P.    Landlord shall provide Tenant with shaft space in the Building sufficient to accommodate one (1) dedicated Building standard four inch (4”) conduit, which conduit shall be installed by Landlord at Tenant’s sole cost and expense (which amount shall be payable by Tenant to Landlord as Additional Rent within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s demand therefor) in a location reasonably determined by Landlord from the 2nd floor of the Building to the 20th floor of the Building for the purpose of Tenant running data and telecommunications wiring between the floors of the Premises (such conduit installation, “Landlord’s Conduit Work”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to commencing Landlord’s Conduit Work, Landlord shall provide Tenant with an estimate of the cost thereof and Tenant shall have the right, within three (3) Business Days after receipt of such notice, time being of the essence, to elect (by written notice to Landlord) not to have Landlord perform Landlord’s Conduit Work (it being agreed that if Tenant fails to timely advise Landlord not to perform Landlord’s Conduit Work, then Landlord shall perform such work and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord therefor in accordance with the terms hereof).

25.CLEANING
A. Subject to the terms of this Lease, Landlord shall cause the Premises to be cleaned on Business Days in accordance with cleaning specifications (set forth on Exhibit "E" annexed hereto and made part hereof), provided they are kept in order by Tenant. Landlord, its cleaning contractor and their employees shall have after-hours access to the Premises and the use of Tenant's light, power and water in the Premises as may be reasonably required for the purpose of cleaning the Premises. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, the reasonable costs incurred by Landlord in removing from the Building any of Tenant's refuse and rubbish to the extent exceeding the amount of refuse and rubbish usually generated by a tenant that uses the Premises for ordinary office purposes.
B.Tenant acknowledges that it has been advised that the cleaning contractor for the Building may be a subdivision or affiliate of Landlord. Tenant agrees to employ said contractor, or such other contractor as Landlord may from time to time designate, for any additional cleaning services such as waxing, polishing and other
54
#152719409_v7



maintenance cleaning, rubbish removal and similar work in or to the Premises and/or Tenant's furniture, fixtures and equipment, provided that the prices charged by said contractor are reasonably competitive with the prices charged by other contractors of comparable skill and experience operating within the vicinity of the Building for comparable work. Tenant agrees that, other than Tenant’s own employees (but subject to any applicable union requirements), under no circumstance shall it employ any other cleaning and maintenance contractor, nor any individual, firm or organization for such purposes other than Landlord’s contractor without Landlord's prior written consent, which may be withheld for any reason.
C.Tenant, at Tenant's expense, shall exterminate the Premises against infestation by insects and vermin, regularly, and whenever there is evidence of infestation, in both cases, in a manner reasonably acceptable to Landlord. Tenant shall engage Landlord's designated contractor to perform such extermination services, provided that the prices charged by said contractor are reasonably competitive with the prices charged by other contractors of comparable skill and experience operating within the vicinity of the Building for comparable work.
D. In each instance where Tenant is obligated to engage Landlord's designated contractor for a particular service, as contemplated in this Article 24, if Landlord and Tenant cannot agree on whether the prices being charged by the applicable contractor designated by Landlord are reasonably competitive to those charged by such other contractors, Landlord or Tenant may submit such dispute to a Streamlined Arbitration Proceeding (as hereinafter defined) pursuant to Article 41 hereof. While such dispute is pending resolution and as a condition to its initiation and the maintenance thereof, Tenant shall pay the charges billed by Landlord or its designated contractor, as the case may be; it being understood and agreed, that following resolution of any such dispute, such charges shall be adjusted as determined in such Streamlined Arbitration Proceeding.
26.JURY WAIVER, DAMAGES
THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY WAIVE TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY REQUIREMENTS, TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM BROUGHT BY EITHER OF SUCH PARTIES AGAINST THE OTHER WITH RESPECT TO ANY MATTER WHATSOEVER ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THIS LEASE, THE RELATIONSHIP OF LANDLORD AND TENANT, TENANT'S USE OR OCCUPANCY OF THE PREMISES, OR FOR THE ENFORCEMENT OF ANY REMEDY, WHETHER PURSUANT TO STATUTE, IN CONTRACT OR TORT, AND IRRESPECTIVE OF THE NATURE OR BASIS OF THE CLAIM INCLUDING BREACH OF AN OBLIGATION TO MAKE ANY PAYMENT, FRAUD, DECEIT, MISREPRESENTATION OF FACT, FAILURE TO PERFORM ANY ACT, NEGLIGENCE, MISCONDUCT OF ANY NATURE OR VIOLATION OF STATUTE, RULE, REGULATION OR ORDINANCE. IF LANDLORD COMMENCES AGAINST TENANT ANY SUMMARY PROCEEDING OR OTHER ACTION TO RECOVER POSSESSION OF THE PREMISES OR TO RECOVER ANY RENT, TENANT SHALL NOT INTERPOSE ANY COUNTERCLAIM OF WHATEVER NATURE OR DESCRIPTION IN ANY SUCH PROCEEDING OR ACTION (EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT APPLICABLE LAW PRECLUDES TENANT FROM ASSERTING SUCH COUNTERCLAIM IN ANOTHER PROCEEDING), AND SHALL NOT SEEK TO CONSOLIDATE SUCH PROCEEDING WITH ANY OTHER ACTION WHICH MAY HAVE BEEN OR WILL BE BROUGHT IN ANY OTHER COURT BY TENANT. TENANT HEREBY WAIVES ANY AND ALL CLAIMS AGAINST LANDLORD FOR LANDLORD'S UNREASONABLY WITHHOLDING, UNREASONABLY CONDITIONING OR UNREASONABLY DELAYING ANY CONSENT OR APPROVAL REQUESTED BY TENANT IN CASES WHERE LANDLORD EXPRESSLY AGREED HEREIN NOT TO UNREASONABLY WITHHOLD, UNREASONABLY CONDITION OR UNREASONABLY DELAY SUCH CONSENT OR APPROVAL; IT BEING UNDERSTOOD AND AGREED THAT TENANT’S SOLE REMEDY THEREFOR BEING AN ACTION OR PROCEEDING , INCLUDING IN A STREAMLINED ARBITRATION PROCEEDING, FOR SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE, INJUNCTION OR DECLARATORY JUDGMENT, EXCEPT THAT TENANT IS NOT WAIVING A CLAIM FOR DAMAGES IF LANDLORD HAS BEEN DETERMINED BY UN-APPEALABLE JUDGMENT OF A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION TO HAVE ACTED MALICIOUSLY OR IN BAD FAITH. NEITHER LANDLORD NOR TENANT SHALL HAVE ANY LIABILITY FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES THAT ARE SUFFERED BY LANDLORD OR TENANT OR ANY PERSON CLAIMING BY, THROUGH OR UNDER LANDLORD OR TENANT, AS THE CASE MAY BE, OTHER THAN AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 12 OF THIS LEASE.
27.NO WAIVER, CONSTRUCTIVE EVICTION, SURVIVAL OF OBLIGATIONS, ETC.
A.No act or omission of Landlord or its agents (including, without limitation, the exercise of the rights set forth in Section 22.B. hereof) shall constitute an actual or constructive eviction, in whole or in part, or entitle Tenant to any compensation or to any abatement or diminution of the Rental (except as otherwise set forth in this Lease), or relieve Tenant from any of Tenant's obligations under this Lease, or impose any liability upon Landlord or any of the Landlord Parties by reason of inconvenience or annoyance to Tenant, or injury to or interruption of Tenant's business, or otherwise. No act or omission of Landlord or its agents shall constitute
55
#152719409_v7



acceptance of a surrender of the Premises, except a writing signed by Landlord. The delivery of keys to Landlord or its agents shall not constitute a termination of this Lease or a surrender of the Premises. Acceptance by Landlord of less than the Rental herein provided shall at Landlord's option be deemed on account of earliest Rental remaining unpaid. No endorsement on any check, or letter accompanying rent, shall be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and such check may be cashed without prejudice to Landlord. No waiver of any provision of this Lease shall be effective, unless such waiver be in writing signed by Landlord. FOR THE AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT, NO COURSE OF CONDUCT (FOR HOWEVER LONG IT MAY HAVE CONTINUED) THAT MAY HAVE DEVIATED FROM THE EXPRESS TERMS OF THIS LEASE OR CHANGE IN THE COURSE OF CONDUCT (HOWEVER LONG THE PREVIOUS COURSE OF CONDUCT MAY HAVE CONTINUED) OF LANDLORD (SUCH AS THE ACCEPTANCE OF LATE PAYMENT OF RENT WITHOUT COMPELLING PAYMENT OF A LATE CHARGE OR INSTITUTING ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING) SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE A WAIVER OR AMENDMENT OF ANY TERM OF THIS LEASE AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED SOLELY AS A TEMPORARY AND NON-BINDING ACCOMMODATION OF TENANT AT TENANT’S REQUEST AND MADE WITHOUT PREJUDICE TO LANDLORD’S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES. No provision of this Lease shall be deemed to have been waived by Tenant, unless such waiver is in writing signed by the Tenant. Tenant’s failure to seek redress for violation of, or to insist upon the strict performance of, any covenant or condition of this Lease on Landlord’s part to be performed, shall not be deemed to be a waiver. The payment by Tenant of any item of Rental or performance of any obligation of Tenant hereunder with knowledge of any breach by Landlord of any covenant of this Lease shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach, nor shall it prejudice Tenant’s right to pursue any remedy against Landlord in this Lease provided or otherwise available to Tenant in law or in equity. This Lease contains the entire agreement between the parties, and no modification thereof shall be binding unless in writing and signed by both parties.
B.Tenant shall comply with (and shall cause any Person claiming by, through or under Tenant to comply with) the rules and regulations set forth in the Rider attached hereto and made a part hereof, and any reasonable modifications thereof or additions thereto. Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for the violation of such rules and regulations by any other tenant. Landlord shall not enforce any rule or regulation against Tenant in a discriminatory manner. To the extent there exists a conflict between the provisions in the body of this Lease and any rule or regulation, the provision in the body of this Lease shall govern.
C.Failure of Landlord to enforce any provision of this Lease, or any rule or regulation, shall not be construed as the waiver of any subsequent violation of a provision of this Lease, or any rule or regulation. This Lease shall not be affected by nor shall Landlord in any way be liable for the closing, or darkening of windows in the Premises to make repairs or to comply with Requirements, including as the result of construction on adjacent property to the Building (but shall make reasonable efforts to minimize the duration of any such closing or darkening). No easement for light and air is conveyed by this Lease.
D.Landlord’s and Tenant’s obligation to make any and all adjustments and payments required by this Lease, including, without limitation, the adjustments and payments referred to in Articles 2 and 3 hereof, shall survive any expiration, termination or cancellation of this Lease, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Lease by written agreement between Landlord and Tenant.
E.Subject to any limitation expressly set forth in this Lease, any delay or failure of Landlord in billing or tendering any invoice or statement provided for in any provision of this Lease for all or any portion of any amount payable pursuant to this Lease (whether denominated Additional Rent or otherwise), including, without limitation, any provision of Article 2 or Article 3 hereof (including, without limitation, any statement, invoice, bill, or notice of cost of living adjustment, operating expense escalation, tax escalation, or fuel and/or rate adjustment), shall not constitute a waiver of or in any way impair (i) Landlord’s right to bill Tenant at any subsequent time (during or subsequent to the Term), retroactively for the entire amount so unbilled (which previously unbilled amount shall be payable within thirty (30) days after demand therefor), and to collect any such amount or (ii) Tenant’s continuing obligation to pay the same hereunder, which obligation shall survive the Expiration Date.
28.OCCUPANCY AND USE BY TENANT; SIGNAGE
A.Tenant shall not obstruct or permit the obstruction of the light, halls, common areas, roof, stairway or entrances to the Building.
B.
(i)Except as otherwise expressly permitted herein, Tenant will not affix, erect or inscribe any signage, lettering, projections, awnings, signals or advertisements or notices of any kind to any part of the Premises, including the inside or outside of the windows or doors thereof, or the Building or any portion thereof; it being understood and agreed that Tenant shall not have the right to use any window in the Premises for any sign or other display that is designed principally for advertising or promotion.
56
#152719409_v7



(ii)Tenant will not paint the outside of the doors thereof or the inside or outside of the windows thereof. Any signage, lettering, projections, awnings, signals, advertisements, or notices which shall be exhibited, inscribed, painted or affixed by or on behalf of Tenant in violation of the provisions of this Section 27.B may be removed by Landlord and the cost of any such removal shall be paid by Tenant as Additional Rent.
(iii) Subject to Landlord's prior written approval thereof, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, Tenant shall have the right, at Tenant's own cost and expense, to install and maintain signage containing Tenant's name and/or logo on or affixed to the entry doors (the "Entry Door Signage") to the Premises (and in the elevator lobbies, but only for such period that the applicable portions of the Premises compromise full floors), provided that Tenant complies in all respects with all applicable provisions of this Lease (including, without limitation, Article 8 hereof), in connection therewith. Entry Door Signage and elevator lobby signage (and any removal thereof or changes thereto) shall constitute an Alteration for all purposes of this Lease. For the avoidance of any doubt, in the event that any portions of the Premises constitute less than a full floor at any time, or in the event that Tenant leases additional space in the Building which is comprised of less than the entire rentable area on such particular floor, following Tenant’s request therefor, Landlord shall, at Tenant's cost and expense, install Building standard signage containing Tenant’s name only, on or affixed to the entry doors to such portion of the Premises and the same shall constitute the Entry Door Signage; it being understood that (i) the foregoing shall not be construed as granting Tenant any rights to surrender any portion of the Premises or to lease additional space in the Building and (ii) with respect to Entry Door Signage on any multi-tenanted floor only, (x) upon installation thereof, such signage shall not be removed, changed or otherwise modified in any way without Landlord’s prior written approval, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed provided such change or other modification is then consistent with the Building standard signage program then in effect for the Building, and the removal, change or modification of the Entry Door Signage or any lettering contained therein shall be performed solely by Landlord, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense and (y) notwithstanding the provisions of clause (x) to the contrary, if the Building standard signage program for the Building or the floor on which the Premises is located changes during the Term from the Building standard signage program in effect and applicable thereto on the date such Entry Door Signage is initially installed, Landlord reserves the right, at Landlord's own cost and expense, to remove the existing Entry Door Signage and replace the same with the signage containing Tenant's name only which replacement signage shall conform to the then current Building standard signage program in effect for the Building or the floor on which the Premises is located. Landlord hereby approves, for purposes hereof and subject to the terms hereof, the use of Tenant’s logo presently existing in the 2nd/3rd Floor Premises and approves the use of Tenant’s logo for purposes of signage with respect to the remainder of the Premises.
C.
(i)If Tenant shall install a wireless intranet, Internet, communications network or "Wi-Fi" (or other iteration thereof) capability (any of the foregoing being hereinafter referred to as a "Network") within the Premises, such Network shall be for the use by and only by Tenant (and any other permitted users of the Premises) and its employees subject to the terms hereof. No antennas shall be installed on any roof or setback of the Building or anywhere else on the exterior of the Building in connection with the Network or otherwise.
(ii)Tenant shall not solicit, suffer, or permit other tenants or occupants of the Building to use the Network or any other communications service, including, without limitation, any wired or wireless Internet service that passes through, is transmitted through, or emanates from the Premises.
(iii)Tenant agrees that Tenant’s communications equipment and the communications equipment of Tenant’s service providers and contractors retained to service the Premises including, without limitation, any switches, or other equipment (collectively, "Tenant’s Communications Equipment") shall be of a type and, if applicable, a frequency, that will not cause radio frequency, electromagnetic, or other interference to any other party or any equipment of any other party including, without limitation, Landlord, other tenants, or occupants of the Building or any other party, in violation of FCC specifications concerning radio frequency interference (hereinafter referred to as "RFI"). In the event that Tenant’s Communications Equipment causes or is believed to cause any such prohibited RFI, upon receipt of notice from Landlord of such interference, Tenant will take all steps necessary to correct and eliminate the interference. If the prohibited RFI is not eliminated within twenty-four (24) hours (or a shorter period if Landlord believes a shorter period to be appropriate) then, upon request from Landlord, Tenant shall shut down Tenant’s Communications Equipment pending resolution of the interference, with the exception of intermittent testing upon prior notice to and with the approval of Landlord. No Network, or Tenant’s Communication Equipment may be installed in any lobby, corridor, building common area or any other area not within the exclusive control of Tenant.
(iv)Tenant acknowledges that Landlord has granted and/or may grant lease rights, licenses, and other rights to various other tenants and occupants of the Building and to telecommunications service providers. As of the date hereof, the following telecom providers currently provide communication services to the
57
#152719409_v7



tenants in the Building (it being acknowledged, however, that in no event shall Landlord be obligated to permit any particular telecommunication provider to provide service in the Building): RNY Connect, Time Warner Cable, Verizon and Verizon FiOS.

or to such other address or addresses as Landlord or Tenant may designate from time to time on at least ten (10) Business Days of advance notice given to the other in accordance with the provisions of this Article 28. Any such bill, statement, demand, notice, request or other communication shall be deemed to have been rendered or given (x) on the date that it is hand delivered, as aforesaid, or (y) three (3) days after being sent by registered or certified mail or (z) one (1) Business Day after being sent by nationally recognized overnight courier. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, an Alterations Notice shall be deemed given on the later to occur of (i) the applicable date specified in the immediately preceding sentence and (y) the date on which Tenant receives a "Read Receipt" on Tenant's electronic transmission thereof. TENANT HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES THE BENEFITS OF ANY LAW, STATUTE OR OTHER LEGAL AUTHORITY REQUIRING A PERIOD OF TIME (SUCH AS 5 DAYS) TO BE ADDED TO THE TIME REQUIRED HEREIN TO BE GIVEN FOR NOTICES.
B.Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) all bills, statements, notices, demands, requests and other communications from Landlord to Tenant pursuant to Article 2 or Article 3 and any notices changing any of the addresses set forth herein, may be given, at Landlord’s option, by regular first class United States mail or via electronic mail sent to the party to whom Landlord's representative was so instructed to send such bills, statements, notices, demands, requests and other communications and (ii) bills and statements issued by Landlord and/or Landlord's agents or representatives, may be sent in the manner specified herein without copies to any other party. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that if any notices of default or demands for the payment of Rental or performance of any other obligations hereunder that are sent to the address(es) set forth herein are returned as undeliverable, then such notices and demands may thereafter be sent or delivered to the Premises and, notwithstanding that Tenant may have another office or place of business (of which Landlord may have knowledge) or may have vacated the Premises, delivery of any such notice or demand or delivery of service of process to the Premises shall be sufficient for all purposes (including, without limitation, obtaining jurisdiction over and entry of judgement against Tenant) in any action or proceeding.
C.Landlord hereby authorizes and appoints as Landlord’s agents, the then current property manager, the then current managing agent of the Building, if any, and any attorney retained by Landlord at any time (in each case identified to Tenant), jointly and severally, to act on Landlord’s behalf to make demands on and give notices to Tenant hereunder, including without limitation, (i) demands for payment of Rental, performance of any obligation, or curing of any default, (ii) notices of Default or notices of termination of this Lease, and (iii) all other notices that may be required by Requirements or this Lease in connection with or as a predicate to any action or proceeding whether for rent, possession of the Premises or enforcement of any other right or remedy. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that (x) such managing agent and attorney, either together or individually, are authorized to give such notices and (y) Tenant shall not (and hereby waives the right to) contest such authorization on the grounds that any such notice was not given by Landlord or raise any defense to any action or proceeding predicated on any allegation of lack of such authorization. No notice given by such agent or attorney shall be required to state or evidence the authority for giving the same, and it shall be conclusively presumed that any notice from any such managing agent or attorney was properly authorized.    
D.This Article 28 has been specifically negotiated between the parties hereto.
30.WATER
Tenant shall not use water other than for ordinary drinking, cleaning, and pantry and lavatory uses. If Tenant uses water for any purpose in addition to ordinary drinking, cleaning, or pantry or lavatory purposes, then Landlord may install a water meter at Tenant’s expense and thereby measure Tenant’s water consumption for all such additional purposes. Tenant shall pay Landlord for the cost of the meter and the cost of the installation thereof and through the duration of Tenant’s occupancy Tenant shall keep said meter and equipment in good working order and repair at Tenant’s own cost and expense. Tenant shall pay Landlord for water consumed as shown on said meter, as additional rent, calculated at the cost imposed on Landlord by the public utility. Tenant shall make such payment to Landlord not later than the thirtieth (30th) day after the date that Landlord gives Tenant an invoice therefor. Tenant shall pay the sewer rent, charge or any other tax, rent, levy or charge which now or hereafter is imposed in connection with any such metered consumption.
31.SPRINKLER SYSTEM
On each Applicable Commencement Date with respect to the 9th Floor Premises and the 20th Floor Premises, Landlord shall deliver such portion of the Premises with a sprinkler system in good working order and in
59
#152719409_v7



compliance with Requirements. If such sprinkler system (or any other sprinkler system in any other portions of the Premises) is damaged by any act or omission of Tenant or its agents, employees, licensees or visitors, Tenant shall restore the system to good working condition at its own expense. Supplementing Article 15 and not in lieu thereof, if the New York Board of Fire Underwriters, the New York Fire Insurance Exchange, the Insurance Services Office, any successor to any of them, any other organization hereafter performing any function of any of them or any Governmental Authority requires the installation or any alteration or other modification to a sprinkler system (including any alteration or modification necessary to obtain the full allowance for a sprinkler system in the fire insurance rate of Landlord) by reason of Tenant's occupancy or use of the Premises (other than for general office use) or any Alterations therein, or for any other reason, Tenant shall make such installation or alteration or other modification promptly and in accordance with the provisions of Article 8 hereof, and at its own expense. Landlord may elect to perform, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, any work necessary to comply with this Article 30 and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the actual and reasonable out-of-pocket costs of performing the same within thirty (30) days following receipt of Landlord's invoice therefor which invoice shall include reasonable supporting documentation for the charges set forth therein.
32.HEAT AND AIR-CONDITIONING.
A.Landlord shall furnish heat to the Premises during Business Hours (as hereinafter defined) during the cold season in each year.
B.During the Term, Tenant may use any air conditioning equipment and appurtenances located in and/or servicing the Premises (hereinafter referred to collectively as the "A/C Equipment"), for normal office usage during the cooling season for each year (it being agreed that all electricity utilized to operate such A/C Equipment shall be payable by Tenant). Subject to Article 10 hereof, Landlord shall, at Tenant's cost and expense, maintain and repair the A/C Equipment and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord, as Additional Rent, for all of Landlord's out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection therewith within thirty (30) days following receipt of Landlord's invoice therefor; it being understood that the costs incurred by Landlord to maintain and repair the A/C Equipment shall be reasonably competitive in the market for comparable work. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, any required replacement of such A/C Equipment shall be performed by Landlord at Landlord’s sole cost and expense (if Landlord determines, in its reasonable judgment, that such A/C Equipment has to be replaced in order to properly function and can no longer be repaired).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall provide after-hours heating service at Landlord’s then existing schedule of rates for after-hours heating for tenants in the Building, provided that Tenant shall give notice to Landlord requesting such after-hours services prior to 3:00 P.M. in the case of after-hours service on weekdays and prior to 1:00 P.M. on Fridays in the case of after-hours service of weekends.

or drawn on, a bank that (a) is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (b) has either a Standard & Poor's long term rating of at least "AA-" or a Moody's long term rating of at least "Aa3" (or, if Standard & Poor's or Moody's, as the case may be, hereafter ceases the publication of ratings for banks, a rating of a reputable rating agency as reasonably designated by Landlord that most closely approximates a Standard & Poor's long term rating of "AA-" or Moody's long term rating of "Aa3", as applicable, as of the date hereof), (c) has not been declared insolvent or placed into receivership in either case by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or another governmental entity that has regulatory authority over such bank, and (d) that either (I) has an office in the city where the Building is located at which Landlord can present the Letter of Credit for payment, or (II) has an office in the United States and allows Landlord to draw upon the Letter of Credit without presenting a draft in person (such as, for example, by submitting a draft by fax or overnight delivery service) (the aforesaid requirements for the bank that issues the Letter of Credit being collectively referred to herein as the "Bank Requirements"). In no event shall the Letter of Credit have a final expiration date occurring any earlier than the date which is sixty (60) days after the Fixed Expiration Date. In case the bank issues a notice of non-renewal or cancellation of the Letter of Credit, Tenant shall immediately notify Landlord of same pursuant to the notice provisions of this Lease. In the event that Tenant exercises the Renewal Option, prior to the first day of the Renewal Term, Tenant shall cause the Letter of Credit to be extended to a final expiration date occurring no earlier than the date which is sixty (60) days after the last day of the Renewal Term. Landlord hereby approves Silicon Valley Bank as the bank issuing the Letter of Credit being provided by Tenant together with this Lease.

A.If (a) Default occurs and is continuing, or (b) Tenant fails to vacate the Premises and surrender possession thereof in accordance with the terms of this Lease upon the Expiration Date, then Landlord may present the Letter of Credit for payment and apply the proceeds thereof (i) to the payment of any Fixed Annual Rent, Additional Rent or any other sums hereunder that then remain unpaid, or (ii) to any damages to which Landlord is entitled hereunder and that Landlord incurs by reason of such Default or Tenant's aforesaid failure to vacate the Premises or surrender possession thereof in accordance with the terms of this Lease upon the Expiration Date. If Landlord so applies any part of the proceeds of the Letter of Credit, then Tenant, upon demand, shall provide Landlord with a replacement Letter of Credit so that Landlord has the full amount of the required security at all times during the Term. If at any time during the Term the issuer of the Letter of Credit shall cease to satisfy the Bank Requirements or such issuer shall be placed on the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation’s "Watch List,", Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days after notice from Landlord, replace such Letter of Credit with a new Letter of Credit issued by a banking organization that satisfies the Bank Requirements and the other criteria set forth in this Article 32. If Tenant fails to do so, then Landlord, in addition to Landlord's other rights at law, in equity or as otherwise set forth herein, shall have the right to present the Letter of Credit for payment and hold the proceeds thereof as security in lieu of the Letter of Credit (it being agreed that Landlord shall have the right to use, apply and transfer such proceeds in the manner described in this Article 32). If such Letter of Credit is not honored, Tenant within five (5) Business Days after notice that the Letter of Credit was not honored, shall replace the Letter of Credit with a cash security deposit (it being agreed that Landlord shall have the right to use, apply and transfer such cash security in the manner described in this Article 32). Time shall be of the essence with respect to the time periods set forth in this Section 32.B Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any reasonable costs that Landlord incurs in so presenting the Letter of Credit for payment within thirty (30) days after Landlord submits to Tenant an invoice therefor. The provisions of this Section 32.B shall survive the Expiration Date. Nothing contained in this Section 32.B limits Landlord's rights or remedies in equity, at law, or as otherwise set forth herein.

B.Tenant, at Tenant's expense, shall cause the issuer of the Letter of Credit to amend the Letter of Credit to name a new beneficiary thereunder in connection with Landlord's assignment of Landlord's rights under this Lease to a Person that succeeds to Landlord's interest in the Real Property; it being understood and agreed that any costs in connection with such transfer shall be payable by Tenant and shall not be a condition to such transfer. The provisions of this Section 32.C shall survive the Expiration Date.


C.If Tenant fails to provide Landlord with a replacement Letter of Credit that complies with the requirements of this Article 32 on or prior to the thirtieth (30th) day before the expiration date of the Letter of Credit that is then expiring, then Landlord may present the Letter of Credit for payment and retain the proceeds thereof as security in lieu of the Letter of Credit (it being agreed that Landlord shall have the right to use, apply and transfer such proceeds in the manner described in this Article 32). Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any reasonable costs that Landlord incurs in so presenting the Letter of Credit for payment within thirty (30) days after Landlord submits to Tenant an invoice therefor. Landlord also shall have the right to so present the Letter of Credit and so retain the proceeds thereof as security in lieu of the Letter of Credit at any time from and after the thirtieth (30th) day before the Expiration Date if the Letter of Credit expires earlier than the sixtieth (60th) day after the Fixed Expiration Date.

D.Provided that no Default exists, Landlord shall return to Tenant the Letter of Credit (to the extent not theretofore presented for payment in accordance with the terms hereof) promptly following the Expiration Date. Landlord's obligations under this Section 32.E shall survive the Expiration Date.

61
#152719409_v7



E.Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, provided and on the condition that (A) Tenant shall not then be in default under this Lease after notice and the expiration of any applicable cure and grace periods, and (B) the Security Reduction Conditions (as hereinafter defined) are satisfied, then Tenant may request that the amount of the Letter of Credit deposited under this Article 3 be reduced to an amount (the “Reduced Security Amount”) equal to three (3) monthly installments of the Fixed Annual Rent then payable with respect to the 9th Floor Premises and the 20th Floor Premises (but in no event shall the Reduced Security Amount be less than $675,984.12), in which case Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a replacement Letter of Credit in the Reduced Security Amount in exchange for the existing Letter of Credit or a modification to the existing Letter of Credit reducing the required amount to the Reduced Security Amount in accordance with the terms of this Article 32, which Landlord shall promptly countersign. Landlord shall, at no cost to Landlord, cooperate with Tenant (including execution of any reasonably required documentation) to amend the existing Letter of Credit as permitted hereunder. For purposes hereof, the “Security Reduction Conditions” shall be satisfied if either (A) at any time following the fifth (5th) anniversary of the 9th Floor Rent Commencement Date, Tenant shall have, for one (1) full calendar year, all of the following, (i) a minimum annual revenue of least $400,000,000.00, (ii) a ratio of net debt to adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”) of no more than 2:1, (iii) operating cash flow in excess of $15,000,000.00, and (iv) cash on hand in excess of $45,000,000.00, or (B) at any time during the Term, Tenant shall have, for one (1) full calendar year, all of the following, (w) a minimum annual revenue of least $600,000,000.00, (ii) a ratio of net debt to Adjusted EBITDA of no more than 1:1, (iii) operating cash flow in excess of $20,000,000.00, and (iv) Adjusted EBITDA of more than $65,000,000.00. In all cases, prior to any reduction of the security deposit hereunder, Tenant shall provide to Landlord reasonable evidence, including a certification by a financial officer of Tenant, that the Security Reduction Conditions have all been satisfied. All amounts described in the Security Reduction Conditions shall be calculated in accordance with GAAP, consistently applied. For purposes of clarification, in no event shall the Security Reduction Conditions pursuant to clause (A) above be deemed to be satisfied prior to the fifth (5th) anniversary of the 9th Floor Rent Commencement Date (i.e., if the Security Deposit Conditions pursuant to clause (A) above are satisfied with respect to the first full calendar year immediately following the fourth (4th) anniversary of the 9th Floor Rent Commencement Date, then the Security Deposit Conditions shall be deemed to have been satisfied as of the date immediately following such calendar year).

34.RENT CONTROL
In the event the Fixed Annual Rent or Additional Rent or any part thereof provided to be paid by Tenant under the provisions of this Lease during the Term shall become uncollectable or shall be reduced or required to be reduced or refunded by virtue of any Requirement, or the orders, rules, codes or regulations of any organization or entity formed pursuant to Requirements, whether such organization or entity be public or private, then Landlord, at its option, may at any time thereafter, terminate this Lease, by not less than thirty (30) days' written notice to Tenant, on a date set forth in said notice, in which event this Lease and the Term shall terminate and come to an end on the date fixed in said notice as if the said date were the date originally fixed herein for the termination of the Term. Landlord shall not have the right to so terminate this Lease if Tenant within such period of thirty (30) days shall in writing lawfully agree that the rentals herein reserved are a reasonable rental and agree to continue to pay said rentals, and if such agreement by Tenant shall then be legally enforceable by Landlord.
35.SHORING
Tenant shall permit any person authorized to make an excavation on land adjacent to the Building containing the Premises to do any work within the Premises necessary to preserve the wall of the Building from injury or damage, and Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord for damages or abatement of Rental by reason thereof.
36.EFFECT OF CONVEYANCE, ETC.
If the Building shall be sold, transferred or leased, or the lease thereof transferred or sold, Landlord shall be relieved of all future obligations and liabilities hereunder and the purchaser, transferee or tenant of the Building shall be deemed to have assumed and agreed to perform all such obligations and liabilities of Landlord hereunder. In the event of such sale, transfer or lease, Landlord shall also be relieved of all existing obligations and liabilities hereunder, provided that the purchaser, transferee or tenant of the Building assumes in writing or is deemed to have assumed by operation of law or otherwise, such obligations and liabilities.
37.RIGHTS OF SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS; PARTIAL INVALIDITY
This Lease shall bind and inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, administrators, successors, and, except as otherwise provided herein, the assigns of the parties hereto. If any provision of any Article of this Lease or the application thereof to any person or circumstances shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of that Article, or the application of such provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is held
62
#152719409_v7



invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each provision of said Article and of this Lease shall be valid and be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by Requirements.
38.CAPTIONS
The captions herein are inserted only for convenience, and are in no way to be construed as a part of this Lease or as a limitation of the scope of any provision of this Lease.
39.LEASE SUBMISSION
A.Landlord and Tenant agree that this Lease is submitted to Tenant on the understanding that it shall not be considered an offer and shall not bind Landlord or Tenant unless and until Landlord and Tenant have executed and unconditionally delivered to the other a fully executed counterpart of this Lease.
B.If Tenant is a corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other form of organization or association, Tenant represents and warrants that each individual executing this Lease on behalf of Tenant is duly authorized to do so, that Tenant is a duly formed and validly existing entity and that Tenant has full right and authority to execute and deliver this Lease.
40.ELEVATORS AND LOADING
A.Except in the event of an emergency or as otherwise provided in and subject to the terms of this Lease, Landlord shall provide passenger elevator service twenty-four (24) hours a day, seven (7) days a week and freight elevator service on a non-exclusive basis 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. during all Business Days. Any use of freight elevator service on other days and times (collectively, “Freight Overtime Periods”) shall be on a first-come, "as available" basis and shall be scheduled in advance with Landlord, and Tenant shall pay Landlord’s customary building standard charge therefor, which as of the date of this Lease are $207.00 per hour. There shall be no major loading or unloading in the Building between 8:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. on Business Days. Tenant acknowledges it has been advised that, subject to availability, and on a first come “as-available” basis, the freight elevators servicing the Building can be used from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Business Days for less than truck load deliveries which will not unreasonably interfere with use of the freight elevator by or on behalf of Landlord and the other tenants of the Building. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall provide Tenant, at no additional cost to Tenant, with up to sixty (60) hours of freight elevator service during Freight Overtime Periods solely for use in connection with Tenant's move-in to the Premises, which freight elevator use shall be scheduled on such days and during such hours (in no less than four (4) hour blocks of time or such shorter blocks as shall be permitted pursuant to applicable union requirements if such freight use is immediately prior or immediately following the non-Freight Overtime Periods) as is scheduled in advance with, and reasonably approved by, Landlord's property management team for the Building. Tenant expressly acknowledges and agrees that any portion of such hours allotted to Tenant for free freight elevator service during Freight Overtime Periods which are remaining after Tenant's completion of Tenant's initial move to the Premises shall be deemed forfeited (but recognizing that Tenant shall move into the 9th Floor Premises and the 20th Floor Premises at different times) and that in no event shall any such hours be applied to Tenant's use of the freight elevator service in connection with the ordinary conduct of Tenant's business.
B.It is the intention of Landlord to maintain in the Building, operatorless automatic control elevators. However, Landlord may, at its option, maintain in the Building either manually operated elevators or operatorless automatic control elevators or part one and part the other, and Landlord shall have the right from time to time during said term, to change, in whole or in part, from one to the other without notice to Tenant and without such change in any way constituting an eviction of Tenant or affecting the obligations of Tenant hereunder or incurring any liability to Tenant hereunder.
41.BROKERAGE
Tenant represents and warrants that it neither consulted nor negotiated with any broker or finder with regard to the Premises other than Newmark & Company Real Estate, Inc. d/b/a Newmark ("Broker") and CBRE, Inc. ("Landlord's Agent"). Tenant agrees to indemnify, defend and save Landlord harmless from and against any claims for fees or commissions from any Person other than Broker and Landlord's Agent claiming to have dealt with Tenant in connection with the Premises and/or this Lease. Landlord represents and warrants that it neither consulted nor negotiated with any broker or finder with regard to the Premises other than Broker and Landlord's Agent. Landlord agrees to pay any commission or fee owing to Broker and Landlord's Agent pursuant to separate agreements with Broker and Landlord's Agent. Landlord agrees to indemnify, defend and save Tenant harmless from and against any claims or fees or commissions from any Person, including Broker and Landlord's Agent, claiming to have dealt with Landlord in connection with the Premises or this Lease. If any claim, action or proceeding is brought against Landlord or Tenant for a matter covered by this indemnity, the indemnitor, upon notice from the indemnified Person, shall defend such claim, action or proceeding with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the respective party
63
#152719409_v7



and the indemnified Person. Nothing in this Article 40 shall be construed to be a third party beneficiary contract. The provisions of this Article 40 shall survive the Expiration Date.
42.ARBITRATION
The term "Streamlined Arbitration Proceeding" shall mean a binding arbitration proceeding conducted in The City of New York under the Streamlined Arbitration Rules & Procedures of JAMS (or its successor); provided, however, that with respect to any such arbitration, (i) the list of arbitrators referred to in Rule 12(d) of JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules & Procedures shall be returned within five (5) Business Days from the date of service; (ii) the parties shall notify JAMS (or its successor) by telephone, within four (4) Business Days, of any objections to the arbitrator appointed and, subject to clause (vii) below, shall have no right to object if the arbitrator so appointed was on the list submitted by JAMS (or its successor) and was not struck in accordance with Rule 12(d) as modified by clause (i) above; (iii) the parties shall be notified of the hearing date four (4) Business Days in advance of the hearing; (iv) the hearing shall be held within seven (7) Business Days after the appointment of the arbitrator; (v) the arbitrator shall have no right to award damages or vary, modify or waive any provision of this Lease; (vi) the decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding on the parties; and (vii) the arbitrator shall not have been employed by either party (or their respective Affiliates) during the period of three (3) years prior to the date of the Streamlined Arbitration Proceeding. The arbitrator shall determine the extent to which each party is successful in such Streamlined Arbitration Proceeding in addition to rendering a decision on the dispute submitted. If the arbitrator determines that one (1) party is entirely unsuccessful, then such party shall pay all of the fees of such arbitrator. If the arbitrator determines that both parties are partially successful, then each party shall be responsible for such arbitrator's fees only to the extent such party is unsuccessful (e.g., if Landlord is eighty percent (80%) successful and Tenant is twenty percent (20%) successful, then Landlord shall be responsible for twenty percent (20%) of such arbitrator's fees and Tenant shall be responsible for eighty percent (80%) of such arbitrator's fees).
43.INSURANCE
A.At all times during the Early Access Period and the Term, Tenant shall maintain, at Tenant’s expense, the following insurance coverage:
(i)an insurance policy for Tenant's Property, and the Alterations, in either case to the extent insurable under "all-risk" property insurance policies, covering the perils listed in the current edition of the Insurance Services Office, Inc. ("ISO"), special causes of loss form CP 10 30 including, without limitation, coverage for acts of terrorism (if such coverage for acts of terrorism is available on commercially reasonable terms), in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the replacement value thereof (subject, however, at Tenant’s option, to a reasonable deductible) (the insurance policy described in this clause (i) being referred to herein as "Tenant's Property Policy"); Tenant's Property Policy shall include business interruption insurance that is sufficient in amount to pay the Fixed Annual Rent and the Escalation Rent due hereunder for a period of at least one (1) year;
(ii)a policy of commercial general liability insurance on an occurrence basis, providing coverage that is at least as broad as the current edition of IS0 Form CG 00 01 ("Tenant's Liability Policy") with minimum limits of Five Million and 00/100 Dollars ($5,000,000) per occurrence for bodily injury (or death), personal injury and/or damage to property;
(iii)a commercial automobile liability policy covering any vehicle that Tenant brings upon the Real Property (regardless of whether Tenant owns or hires such vehicle) with a combined single limit of not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) (such policy being referred to herein as "Tenant's Auto Policy");
(iv)worker’s compensation insurance in statutory limits, and New York State disability insurance as required by Requirements, covering all employees; and
(v)such other coverage in such amounts as Landlord may reasonably require with respect to the Premises, its use and occupancy and the conduct or operation of business therein provided such other coverages and amounts are generally consistent with the coverages and amounts required by Landlord of similarly-situated office tenants within the Building.
Landlord may, from time to time, but not more frequently than once every three (3) years adjust the minimum limits set forth above to limits that in Landlord's reasonable judgment are then being customarily required by prudent landlords of comparable buildings in New York City. Tenant shall not obtain any property insurance (under Tenant's Property Policy or otherwise) that covers the property that is covered by Landlord's Property Policy.
B.All insurance policies to be maintained as set forth above (i) shall be issued by companies of recognized responsibility, authorized and admitted to do business in the State of New York, reasonably acceptable to
64
#152719409_v7



Landlord, and maintaining a rating of A/VIII or better in Best’s Insurance Reports-Property-Casualty (or an equivalent rating in any successor index adopted by Best’s or its successor), (ii) shall provide that they may not be canceled or modified unless Landlord and all additional insureds thereunder are given at least thirty (30) days prior written notice of such cancellation or modification, except that such period of thirty (30) days may be reduced to no less than ten (10) days for non-payment of premium and (iii) shall be primary and non-contributory in all respects. Tenant's Property Policy and Tenant's Liability Policy shall name Tenant as the insured. Tenant's Liability Policy (including, without limitation, any policy that Tenant obtains as described in Section 42.D. hereof) and Tenant's Auto Policy shall be endorsed to name the Designated Landlord Parties as additional insureds thereunder. Tenant's Property Policy shall contain a provision that no act or omission of Tenant shall affect or limit the obligation of the insurer to pay the amount of any loss sustained. If Tenant receives any notice of cancellation or any other notice from the insurance carrier which may adversely affect the coverage of the insureds under Tenant's Property Policy or Tenant's Liability Policy, then Tenant shall immediately deliver to Landlord a copy of such notice. Tenant's Liability Policy shall have no exclusions limiting liability assumed under an insured's contract (including, without limitation, tort liability of another assumed by the insured in a business contract).
C.Prior to the commencement of the Early Access Period and the First Commencement Date, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord certificates of insurance for the insurance coverage required by Paragraph 42.A and copies of the endorsements to such policies designating the Designated Landlord Parties as additional insureds. Tenant shall procure and pay for renewals of such insurance from time to time before the expiration thereof, and Tenant shall deliver to Landlord certificates of renewal at least ten (10) days before the expiration of any existing policy. Under no circumstances shall Landlord be obligated to advise Tenant of Tenant’s failure to procure or maintain any insurance required hereunder.
D.Tenant has the right to satisfy Tenant's obligation to carry Tenant's Liability Policy with an umbrella insurance policy. Tenant has the right to satisfy Tenant's obligation to carry Tenant's Property Policy with a blanket insurance policy.
E.Tenant's liability hereunder is not limited to the amount of Tenant's insurance recovery, to the amount of insurance that Tenant maintains in force, to the amount of insurance that Tenant is required to maintain in accordance with the terms of this Article 42, or to the amount of any insurance that Tenant is required to carry, or that Tenant is permitted to carry, under applicable Requirements. Landlord's review of, or approval of, any insurance that Tenant carries shall not limit Tenant's obligation to carry the insurance that this Article 42 requires Tenant to carry.    
F.Subject to the terms of this 42.F., Landlord shall obtain and keep in full force and effect covering the Building, to the extent insurable on commercially reasonable terms under then available standard forms of "all-risk" insurance policies, covering the perils listed in the current edition of the ISO special causes of loss form CP 10 30 including, without limitation, coverage for acts of terrorism (if such coverage for acts of terrorism is available on commercially reasonable terms), in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the replacement value thereof or, at Landlord's option, in such lesser amount as will avoid co-insurance (such insurance being referred to herein as "Landlord's Property Policy"). Tenant acknowledges that (i) Landlord’s Property Policy may encompass rent insurance, and (ii) Landlord may also obtain a commercial general liability insurance policy. Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any failure to insure any Alterations unless Tenant notifies Landlord of the completion of such Alterations and the cost thereof, and maintains adequate records with respect to such Alterations to facilitate the adjustment of any insurance claims with respect thereto. Landlord shall have the right to provide that the coverage of Landlord’s Property Policy is subject to a reasonable deductible. Tenant shall cooperate with Landlord and Landlord's insurance companies in the adjustment of any claims for any damage to the Building. Landlord shall not be required to carry insurance on Tenant's Property or the Alterations. Landlord shall not be required to carry insurance against, nor shall Landlord have any liability to Tenant for, any loss suffered by Tenant due to the interruption of Tenant's business.

G.Tenant shall obtain an appropriate clause in, or endorsement on, Tenant's Property Policy and Landlord shall obtain an appropriate clause in, or endorsement on Landlord's Property Policy pursuant to which the insurance companies waive subrogation or consent to a waiver of right of recovery. Landlord and Tenant also agree that, having obtained such clauses or endorsements of waiver of subrogation or consent to a waiver of right of recovery, they shall not make any claim against or seek to recover from the Landlord Parties or the Tenant Parties (as the case may be) for any loss or damage to its property or the property of others (including any subtenants) resulting from fire or other hazards covered by Landlord's Property Policy or Tenant's Property Policy (as the case may be) (with the understanding, therefore, that the party that sustains such loss or damage shall not have a claim against the other party to reimburse the party that sustains such loss or damage for the amount of such party's deductible or self-insured retention); provided, however, that the release, discharge, exoneration and covenant not to sue herein contained shall be limited by and be coextensive with the terms and provisions of the waiver of subrogation clause or endorsements or clauses or endorsements consenting to a waiver of right of recovery.

44.INTENTIONALLY OMITTED
45.LATE CHARGES
If Tenant fails to pay any item of Rental on or prior to the fifth (5th) day after the date that such payment is due, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in addition to such item of Rental, as a late charge and as liquidated damages, an amount equal to interest at the Applicable Rate on the amount unpaid, computed from the date such payment was due through and including the date of payment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such late charge shall be payable for the first (1st) late payment in any twelve (12) month period during the Term provided Tenant makes such payment within ten (10) days following notice from Landlord thereof. Tenant acknowledges that the payment of Rental after the date when first due shall result in loss and injury to Landlord the exact amount of which is not susceptible of reasonable calculation and that the aforesaid amount(s) of late charge represents a reasonable estimate of such losses and injury under the circumstances, especially after taking into account the grace period hereby afforded Tenant before such late charge is to be imposed. The amounts payable pursuant to this Article 44 shall be in addition to, and without prejudice to, any of Landlord's rights and remedies hereunder at law and equity for non-payment or late payment of Rental (including, without limitation, the right to institute a proceeding under Article 7 of the Real Property Actions and Proceedings Law). Nothing contained in this Article 44 limits Landlord's rights and remedies, by operation of law or otherwise, after the occurrence of a Default. No failure by Landlord to insist upon the strict performance by Tenant of Tenant's obligation to pay liquidated damages as provided in this Article shall constitute a waiver by Landlord of its right to enforce the provisions of this Article in any instance thereafter occurring. If Landlord receives only a portion of the amount due for any month, Landlord may, at its option, elect to apply such payment first to Rental and then to late charges notwithstanding any contrary direction from Tenant. The provisions of this Article 44 shall not be construed in any way to extend the grace periods or notice periods provided for elsewhere in this Lease.
46.LEED COMPLIANCE AND RECYCLING.
    A.    Tenant shall cooperate with any and all efforts by Landlord to obtain and maintain LEED, Green Globes, Energy Star (or similar) certifications for the Building. Tenant covenants and agrees not to take any action or do anything (or allow any action to be taken by any Person claiming by, through or under Tenant) that may reduce any environmental rating for the Building which may now or hereafter be made, such as any rating made pursuant to LEED, Green Globes, Energy Star (or similar programs).
B.    Tenant shall comply with and participate in Landlord’s recycling program for the Building, if any, as from time to time implemented with respect to all recyclable waste generated or stored in the Premises and if Landlord shall not have implemented such a program, Tenant shall promptly implement one for such recyclable waste, subject to and in accordance with Article 15 hereof.
47.LEASE FULLY NEGOTIATED
In construing this Lease, it shall be deemed to be a document fully negotiated and drafted jointly by counsel to Landlord and counsel to Tenant and the authorship of any term or provision hereof shall not be deemed germane to its meaning. The existence or non-existence in any prior draft hereof of any term or provision whether included herein or not shall not be relevant to the establishment of the intent of the parties hereto or the meaning of any term or provision hereof and may not be used as evidence to establish any such intent or meaning.
48.ANTI-TERRORISM REQUIREMENTS
Tenant represents and warrants that (a) neither Tenant nor any person, group or entity who owns any direct or indirect beneficial interest in Tenant or any of them, is listed on the list maintained by the United States Department of the Treasury, Office of Foreign Assets Control (commonly known as the OFAC List) or otherwise qualifies as a terrorist, Specially Designated National and Blocked Person or a person with whom business by a United States citizen or resident is prohibited (each referred to herein as a "Prohibited Person"); (b) neither Tenant nor any person, group or entity who owns any direct or indirect beneficial interest in Tenant or any of them is in violation of any anti-money laundering or anti-terrorism statute, including, without limitation, the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001, U.S. Public Law 107-56 (commonly known as the USA PATRIOT Act), and the related regulations issued thereunder, including temporary regulations, and Executive Orders (including, without limitation, Executive Order 13224) issued in connection therewith, all as amended from time to time; and (c) neither Tenant nor any person, group or entity who owns any direct or indirect interest in Tenant is acting on behalf of a Prohibited Person. Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from and against all claims, damages, losses, risks, liabilities and costs (including fines, penalties and legal costs) arising from any misrepresentation in this Article 47 or Landlord’s reliance thereon. Notwithstanding anything contained above, Tenant is making no representation and shall have no
66
#152719409_v7



liability with respect to a Person that is a shareholder of Tenant so long as Tenant is a publicly-traded entity. Tenant’s obligations under this Article 47 shall survive the Expiration Date.
49.CONDOMINIUM PROVISIONS
A.    Landlord reserves (and Tenant acknowledges that Landlord has) the right to convert (or join or acquiesce in the conversion of) the Building or Real Property to condominium form of ownership (hereinafter referred to as a "Conversion") of which the Premises may, in the sponsor’s and Landlord’s sole discretion, constitute all or a portion of a condominium unit (hereinafter referred to as the "Unit"). If the Building is converted to condominium form of ownership, then this Lease shall not be affected thereby and shall continue in full force and effect, except as follows:
(i)Except as otherwise specifically set forth herein, references to the Building or Real Property shall be deemed to be references to the Unit;
(ii)Rents based upon increases in Expenses and/or Real Estate Taxes shall be payable upon the following terms:
(a)Tenant's Tax Share and/or Tenant's Expense Share, as the case may be, shall be recomputed as a decimal fraction carried to four places beyond the decimal point by dividing the rentable square feet of the Premises by the rentable square feet of the Unit (as each such area is determined by Landlord in accordance with REBNY standards) (provided the foregoing shall not increase Tenant’s monetary obligations hereunder);
(b)Expenses shall include all expenses and all charges, assessments and special assessments payable by the owner of or attributable to the Unit pursuant to the condominium’s declaration of condominium, its bylaws or resolution of the board of managers or condominium association having jurisdiction of the Unit, including without limitation, common charges;
(c)Base Expenses and Base Year Taxes shall be recomputed by Landlord using its reasonable judgment to allocate to the Unit the actual Expenses and Real Estate Taxes as would have been allocated to the Unit for the Base Expense Year and Base Tax Year had the condominium then been in existence and such amounts as Landlord shall have determined shall be deemed the Base Expenses and the Base Year Taxes , respectively; and
(d)If any such conversion shall be effective on a date that is not the first day of a relevant comparative year, Additional Rent for increases in Expenses and Real Estate Taxes, as the case may be, shall be calculated for the periods before and following the effective date of such conversion according to the appropriate methodology for such period and accordingly prorated for each such period.
B.    Regardless of whether or not Tenant may have a sufficient interest in the Real Property pursuant to Requirements to require its consent to the declaration of condominium, its bylaws, floor plans or any other document required to effect a Conversion (hereinafter collectively referred to as "Condominium Documents") and all applications and filings involved in the Conversion, Tenant does hereby specifically waive such rights, and if such rights cannot be waived, does hereby consent to such matters in advance and to the Conversion itself to create a condominium form of ownership for the Building (herein referred to as a "Condominium").
C.    In the event of a Conversion in which the Premises are converted into one or more separately saleable units, Tenant does hereby agree in advance to attorn to any purchaser of any unit(s) which shall consist of the Premises and recognizes such purchaser as landlord under the terms and provisions of this Lease and no further consent of Tenant shall be required as long as the purchaser of any such unit(s) agrees in writing to honor the rights and obligations of Tenant hereunder.
D.    This Lease shall be subordinate to all Condominium Documents. Landlord shall not permit any such Condominium Documents to impair Tenant’s rights under this Lease, or to expand Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, except, in either case, to a de minimis extent. Upon such Conversion, if the Condominium Documents provide for the performance by the Condominium of any obligations that would have been Landlord’s obligations under this Lease, Landlord will cause the board of managers of the Condominium or the owner of the Unit of which the Premises are a part to perform such obligations, but in no event shall any rights or remedies of Tenant hereunder be diminished, conditioned or negated or its obligations increased by such operation of the Condominium Documents. It is expressly understood and agreed that the Premises are intended to be a part of the Condominium, and to be subject to the Condominium Documents. Tenant agrees that the aforesaid subordination shall be self-
67
#152719409_v7



operative without the need for any further action but Tenant shall execute and deliver such documents as Landlord may require to confirm or further effect such subordination. If the Condominium shall be formed, Tenant shall not perform any act, or fail to perform any act, if such performance or failure to perform would be a violation of, or cause Landlord to be in default under, any of the Condominium Documents provided that, so long as Tenant complies with its obligations under this Lease, no such default shall be deemed to exist. During the Term, Tenant agrees to be bound by all of the terms contained in the Condominium Documents that pertain to an occupant of the Condominium Unit of which the Premises form a part or of the common elements of such Condominium, except if and to the extent that compliance with such terms and obligations shall be Landlord’s obligation pursuant to one or more express provisions of this Lease and in no event shall Tenant be responsible for common charges or maintenance payments under the Condominium Documents, except as hereinabove provided. Tenant agrees to observe all of the rules and regulations of the Condominium provided that the same shall not increase Tenant’s obligations provided for in this Lease or decrease Tenant’s rights under this Lease. Tenant expressly agrees that the board of managers of the Condominium and/or the Unit of which the Premises form a part (each, a "Board"), as applicable, shall have the power to enforce against Tenant (and each and every immediate and remote assignee or subtenant of Tenant) the terms of the Condominium Documents, if the actions of Tenant (or such assignee or subtenant) shall be in breach of the Condominium Documents, to the extent that the same would entitle the applicable Board to enforce the terms of the Condominium Documents against Landlord.
E.    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Lease, any provision of this Lease that requires Landlord to "cause the Board" to provide services or perform any other act shall be deemed to require Landlord to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Board to do the same but Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any failure in performance resulting from the failure in performance by the Board, Landlord’s obligations hereunder are accordingly conditional where such obligations require such parallel performance by the Board, provided that Landlord shall, at Tenant’s cost and expense, expeditiously and diligently use commercially reasonable efforts to enforce such rights as Landlord may have against the Board under the Condominium Documents for the benefit of Tenant upon Tenant’s written request therefor (and to forward to the Board any notices or requests for consent as Tenant may reasonably request), but nothing herein shall require Landlord to institute any legal action or proceeding or arbitration to enforce the Board’s obligations. Landlord agrees that the Condominium declaration recorded for the Building shall obligate the Board to perform Landlord’s maintenance, repair and replacement obligations hereunder that relate to "common elements" or shall give the Landlord access and the privilege to perform the same. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit or waive any right or remedy Tenant may have against Landlord for any breach of Landlord's obligations under this Lease, whether to be performed by Landlord or the Condominium under the Condominium Documents.
F.    In the event of a Conversion, Landlord shall obtain from the Condominium, for the benefit of Tenant, a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement ("Condo SNDA"), in the form then customarily used by the Condominium. Tenant shall execute and deliver such Condo SNDA and shall pay any reasonable fees or costs imposed by the grantor of such Condo SNDA and/or its attorneys in connection with the negotiation and execution of such Condo SNDA.

70
#152719409_v7



Expansion Space Notice to Landlord to exercise the Expansion Space Option. If Tenant does not give the Expansion Space Notice to Landlord on or prior to such date, then Landlord shall thereafter have the right to lease the Expansion Space (or any part thereof) to any other Person on terms acceptable to Landlord in Landlord's sole discretion without Tenant having any further rights whatsoever regarding the Expansion Space under this Article 55. Tenant shall not have the right to exercise the Expansion Space Option for only a portion of the Expansion Space.
C.Tenant shall not have the right to revoke an Expansion Space Notice given to Landlord pursuant to this Article 55.

Tenant's exercise of the Expansion Space Option shall be ineffective if, on the date that Tenant gives the Expansion Space Notice to Landlord, a monetary or material non-monetary Default has occurred and is continuing. If (i) Tenant exercises the Expansion Space Option, and (ii) at any time prior to the Expansion Space Commencement Date, a monetary or material non-monetary Default has occurred and is continuing, or the conditions described in clause (x), (y) and (z) are not all satisfied, then, at any time prior to the Expansion Space Commencement Date, Landlord shall have the right to declare Tenant's exercise of the Expansion Space Option ineffective by giving notice thereof to Tenant, in which case, Landlord shall have the right to lease the Expansion Space (or any portion thereof) to any other Person on terms acceptable to Landlord in Landlord's sole discretion and Tenant shall have no further rights with respect to the Expansion Space.

(i)the Expansion Space shall be added to the Premises for purposes of this Lease (except as otherwise provided in this Section 55.D);
(ii)from and after the Expansion Space Commencement Date, Tenant shall make payments for escalations in Real Estate Taxes with respect to the Expansion Space which shall be an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying (X) the ratio (expressed as a percentage) that the number of square feet of rentable area in the Expansion Space bears to the number of square feet of rentable area in the Building, by (Y) the excess of (i) Real Estate Taxes for the applicable Comparative Tax Year over (ii) the Taxes for the Base Tax Year (as defined in Section 2.C. above) with respect to the 20th Floor Premises;
(iii)from and after the Expansion Space Commencement Date, Tenant shall make Expense Payments with respect to the Expansion Space which shall be an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying (I) the ratio (expressed as a percentage) that the number of square feet of rentable area in the Expansion Space bears to the number of square feet of rentable area in the Building (other than any retail portion thereof), by (II) the excess of (x) the Expenses for the applicable Comparative Year, over (y) the Expenses for the Base Expense Year (as defined in Section 2.C. above) with respect to the 20th Floor Premises;
(iv)Landlord shall not be obligated to perform any work or make any installations in the Expansion Space, it being expressly acknowledged and agreed that except as hereinafter otherwise provided, the Expansion Space shall be delivered in its then “as is” condition. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, if Tenant shall desire for Landlord to perform Landlord’s Work in the Expansion Space (in lieu of Landlord delivering the Expansion Space “as is”) and provided that the Expansion Space Financial Requirement (as hereinafter defined) is then satisfied (and provided that Tenant provides Landlord with evidence thereof reasonably acceptable to Landlord), then Tenant shall notify Landlord thereof in the Expansion Space Notice specifically referring to this Section 55.D.(iv) (it being agreed that Tenant’s failure to so notify Landlord in the Expansion Space Notice shall be deemed to be Tenant’s election not to have Landlord perform Landlord’s Work in the Expansion Space) and Landlord shall be required to perform Landlord’s Work in the Expansion Space upon such terms and conditions as shall be mutually and reasonably agreed to by Landlord and Tenant (which terms and conditions shall be based upon the provisions of Section 23.C of this Lease as and to the extent applicable (including, without limitation, timing for delivery of plans and specifications from Tenant, etc.) and which shall include, if required by Landlord, a maximum contribution amount with respect to such Landlord’s Work determined in the same manner as the 20th Floor Maximum Contribution Amount was determined pursuant to Section 23.C (including adjusting the amount as set forth therein by a percentage equal to the percentage increase or decrease in the CPI from the 9th Floor Premises Commencement Date until the date Landlord shall commence Landlord’s Work in the Expansion Space).  For purposes of clarification, if Tenant shall not satisfy the Expansion Space Financial Requirement contained in the preceding sentence, then except as hereinafter provided with respect to Landlord’s Base Building Work and the installation of ionization equipment, Landlord shall not be required to perform Landlord’s Work in the Expansion Space (unless Landlord agrees to do so in Landlord’s sole discretion). Landlord and Tenant expressly acknowledge
71
#152719409_v7



and agree that the requirement for Landlord to perform Landlord’s Work in the Expansion Space (including the cost thereof, the time to perform such work, etc.) shall be deemed to be relevant factors for purposes of determining the Fair Market Rent with respect to the Expansion Space. If Tenant shall not satisfy the Expansion Space Financial Requirement contained herein then notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, Landlord shall still be required to deliver the Expansion Space to Tenant with Landlord’s Base Building Work completed and with Landlord’s Building-standard bipolar ionization equipment within the HVAC systems servicing the Expansion Space (it being agreed that the performance of such work by Landlord shall expressly be deemed to be a relevant factor for purposes of determining the Fair Market Rent for the Expansion Space). For purposes hereof, the term "Expansion Space Financial Requirement" shall mean the requirement that Tenant (as evidenced by Tenant’s most recently filed financial statements for Tenant reported to the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (as long as Tenant is publically traded) or, if not publically traded, Tenant’s most recent financial statement that is either audited or certified by the chief financial officer of the Tenant (or, if Tenant does not have a chief financial officer, an executive level officer whose job responsibilities include primary oversight of the preparation of financial statements)) then both (I) has total stockholder’s equity (including goodwill and intangible assets), as determined in accordance with GAAP, equal to or greater than $224,000,000.00 and (II) Tenant’s operating cash flow, as determined in accordance with GAAP, is equal to or greater than $36,000,000.00.
(v)the Fixed Annual Rent for the Expansion Space shall be shall be the Fair Market Rent (as hereinafter defined) thereof; and
(vi)    the amount of the Letter of Credit shall be increased on a per rentable square foot basis to reflect the addition of the Expansion Space to the Premises.

    E.    If Tenant effectively exercises the Expansion Space Option pursuant to this Article 55, then Landlord shall deliver vacant and exclusive possession of the Expansion Space to Tenant on the Scheduled Expansion Space Commencement Date; provided, however, that (x) if a Person remains in occupancy of the Expansion Space (or any portion thereof) on the Scheduled Expansion Space Commencement Date, then Landlord, at Landlord's expense, shall use reasonable diligence to cause vacant and exclusive possession of the Expansion Space to be delivered to Tenant as promptly as reasonably practicable thereafter (the Scheduled Expansion Space Commencement Date, or such later date on which Landlord delivers vacant and exclusive possession of the Expansion Space to Tenant as contemplated by this Section 55.F., being referred to herein as the "Expansion Space Commencement Date"), and (y) if such Person's right to remain in occupancy of the Expansion Space (or a portion thereof) terminates prior to the Scheduled Expansion Space Commencement Date, then Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant (except as otherwise set forth in clause (x) above), and Tenant shall have no right to terminate or rescind this Lease or Tenant's exercise of the Expansion Space Option or reduce the Rental, in each case deriving from Landlord's failure to deliver vacant and exclusive possession of the Expansion Space to Tenant on the Scheduled Expansion Space Commencement Date. Landlord and Tenant intend that this Section 55.E. constitutes an "express provision to the contrary" for purposes of Section 223-a of the New York Real Property Law.

F.    If Tenant shall lease the 20th, the 21st and 22nd floors pursuant to the terms hereof (or any other contiguous floors in the Building), then subject to the terms of this Article 8 (including, without limitation, Landlord’s approval of materials, size, location, method of installation, power requirements, etc.), Landlord hereby approves, in concept only, the installation by Tenant in the Premises of one (1) set of internal stairs connecting contiguous floors of the Premises.

G.    If Tenant shall lease the 20th, the 21st and 22nd floor of the Building (or any other contiguous floors in the Building), Tenant has requested that Landlord grant Tenant permission to use the portion of the Building fire stairs designated as fire stair “A” (the “Fire Stairs”) between any contiguous floors of the Premises leased by Tenant solely for access between such contiguous floors of the Premises by Tenant and its employees and invitees. Provided and on the express condition that (a) the Initial Tenant Requirement is satisfied and (b) Tenant then leases the 20th, the 21st and 22nd floors, Landlord is willing to grant such permission to Tenant upon the following terms, conditions and provisions:

(i)Tenant may use the Fire Stairs, on a non-exclusive basis, throughout the Term of this Lease with respect to such contiguous floors, or until such earlier date that the permission granted under this Article is terminated or revoked pursuant to the terms hereof, solely for access between such contiguous floors and for no other use or purpose. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Tenant expressly acknowledges and agrees that the Fire Stairs may not be used for storage of any kind and that no loitering shall be permitted therein. Except as otherwise provided in this Article, Tenant’s use of the Fire Stairs and its obligations with respect thereto shall be subject to and in accordance with all applicable Requirements, the Rules and Regulations applicable thereto and such other rules and regulations established by Landlord governing such use from time to time (as reasonably enacted, and communicated to Tenant by not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice, from time to time) and the applicable terms, provisions, conditions and agreements contained in this Lease;

Tenant shall provide Landlord with a “master” card key so that Landlord shall have access through each entry door. Tenant shall be solely responsible for the operation of the locking system on the doors from the Fire Stairs to the demised premises and hereby waives any and all claims against Landlord arising out of or in connection with parties gaining access to and from the demised premises through the Fire Stairs, except to the extent any such claims arise as a direct result of Landlord's (or Landlord’s agents, employees or contractors) negligence or willful misconduct;

(iii)Subject to Landlord’s prior review and approval of the same, which may be granted or withheld in Landlord’s reasonable discretion, Tenant may, at its sole cost and expense, perform decorative or cosmetic upgrades to the Fire Stairs (e.g., painting), that do not require any permits from any Governmental Authority, subject to compliance with applicable Requirements and the applicable provisions of this Lease; All of the provisions of the Lease in respect of insurance and indemnification (but only with respect to Tenant, its employees, guests, invitees, contractors, agents, representative or other persons authorized or permitted by Tenant to utilize said Fire Stairs) shall apply to the portion of the Fire Stairs between the floors of the Premises, as if same were part of the Premises;
(iv)Notwithstanding that Tenant’s use of the Fire Stairs shall be subject at all times to and shall be in accordance with the terms, covenants, conditions and agreements contained in this Lease (except as provided in this Article), Tenant acknowledges that Tenant’s use of the same shall be pursuant to a license granted by Landlord that can be terminated or revoked by Landlord at any time if (a) Tenant’s use of the Fire Stairs or any Alterations thereto violate any Requirements applicable to the Fire Stairs, the Premises or the Building or any portion thereof, including, without limitation, the Certificate of Occupancy issued for the Building (such termination or revocation shall void when such violation is cured to Landlord’s reasonable satisfaction), or (b) this Lease no longer demises at least two (2) contiguous floors serviced by the applicable Fire Stairs;

B.    The Fair Market Rent shall be determined as of the Applicable Date assuming that the Applicable Area is free and clear of all leases and tenancies (including this Lease), that the Applicable Area is available for the purposes permitted by this Lease in the then rental market, that Landlord has had a reasonable time to locate a tenant, and that neither Landlord nor the prospective tenant is under any compulsion to rent, and taking into account all relevant factors, whether favorable to Landlord or Tenant.

C.    If Tenant exercises the Renewal Option or Tenant exercises the Expansion Space Option, then Landlord and Tenant shall each deliver simultaneously to the other, at Landlord's office, a notice (each, a "Rent Notice"), on a date mutually agreed upon, but in no event later than:

(i)one hundred eighty (180) days before the Fixed Expiration Date, with respect to the Rent Notice for the determination of the Fair Market Rent for the Renewal Premises, and
(ii)the later to occur of (X) three (3) months before the Scheduled Expansion Space Commencement Date, as the same may be accelerated, and (Y) the thirtieth (30th) day after the date that Tenant gives the Expansion Space Notice to Landlord, with respect to the Rent Notice for the determination of the Fair Market Rent for the Option Space,
as the case may be, which Rent Notice shall set forth each of their respective determinations of the Fair Market Rent (Landlord's determination of the Fair Market Rent is referred to as "Landlord's Determination" and Tenant's determination of the Fair Market Rent is referred to as "Tenant's Determination"; the date on which Landlord and Tenant agree to simultaneously deliver Landlord's Determination and Tenant's Determinations, respectively, the "Blind Swap Date"). For the avoidance of doubt, if the parties are unable to agree on the Blind Swap Date, the same shall be deemed to be the latest dates set forth above respectively with respect to the Rent Notices for the determination of the Fair Market Rent for the Renewal Premises and the Option Space. If (i) Tenant fails to give Tenant's Determination on the Blind Swap Date as contemplated herein, and (ii) Landlord tenders Landlord's Determination to Tenant on the Blind Swap Date, then the Fair Market Rent for the Applicable Area shall be Landlord's Determination; it being expressly understood however, that if Tenant fails to attend the meeting scheduled for the simultaneous exchange of Landlord's Determination and Tenant's Determination on the Blind Swap Date at Landlord's office, Landlord shall be deemed to have tendered Landlord's Determination to Tenant on the Blind Swap Date for all purposes hereof and Landlord shall promptly thereafter deliver a copy of Landlord's Determination to Tenant in accordance with the provisions of Article 28 hereof. If (i) Landlord fails to give Landlord’s Determination on the Blind Swap Date as contemplated herein, and (ii) Tenant tenders Tenant’s Determination to Landlord on the Blind Swap Date, then the Fair Market Rent for the Applicable Area shall be Tenant's Determination; it being expressly understood however, that if Landlord fails to attend the meeting scheduled for the simultaneous exchange of Landlord's Determination and Tenant's Determination on the Blind Swap Date at Landlord's office, Tenant shall be deemed to have tendered Tenant's Determination to Tenant on the Blind Swap Date for all purposes hereof and Tenant shall promptly thereafter deliver a copy of Tenant's Determination to Tenant in accordance with the provisions of Article 28 hereof.

    D.    If Tenant's Determination is higher than Landlord's Determination, then the Fair Market Rent for the Applicable Area shall be the average of Landlord's Determination and Tenant's Determination. If Tenant's Determination is lower than Landlord's Determination, then Landlord and Tenant shall attempt in good faith to agree upon the Fair Market Rent for a period of thirty (30) days after the date that Landlord gives Landlord's Determination to Tenant, and Tenant gives Tenant's Determination to Landlord. If Landlord and Tenant do not agree on the Fair Market Rent for the Applicable Area within thirty (30) days after the date that Landlord gives Landlord's Determination to Tenant, and the date that Tenant gives Tenant's Determination to Landlord, then Landlord and Tenant shall select jointly an appraiser who is an independent, licensed real estate broker that (i) neither Landlord nor Tenant, nor any of their respective Affiliates, has engaged during the immediately preceding period of three (3) years, and (ii) has at least ten (10) years of experience in leasing properties that are similar in character to the Building (such broker being referred to herein as the "Broker Appraiser"). Landlord and Tenant shall each pay fifty percent (50%) of the Broker Appraiser's fee. If Landlord and Tenant do not agree on the Broker Appraiser within ten (10) days after the last day of such period of thirty (30) days, then either party shall have the right to institute an Expedited Arbitration Proceeding (as hereinafter defined) for the sole purpose of designating the Broker Appraiser. The term "Expedited Arbitration Proceeding" shall mean a binding arbitration proceeding conducted in The City of New York under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (or its successor) and administered pursuant to the Expedited Procedures provisions thereof; provided, however, that with respect to any such arbitration, (i) the list of arbitrators referred to in Section E-4(b) shall be returned within five (5) Business Days from the date of mailing; (ii) the parties shall notify the American Arbitration Association (or its successor) by telephone, within four (4) Business Days, of any objections to the arbitrator appointed and, subject to clause (vii) below, shall have no right to object if the arbitrator so appointed was on the list submitted by the American Arbitration Association (or its successor) and was not objected to in accordance with Section E-4(c) as modified by clause (i) above; (iii) the notification of the hearing referred to in Section E-7 shall be four (4) Business Days in advance of the hearing; (iv) the hearing shall be held within seven (7) Business Days after the appointment of the arbitrator; (v) the arbitrator shall have no right to award damages or vary, modify or waive any provision of this Lease; (vi) the decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding on the parties; and (vii) the arbitrator shall not have been employed by either party (or their respective Affiliates) during the period of three (3) years prior to the date of the Expedited Arbitration Proceeding.
    E.    The parties shall instruct the Broker Appraiser to (i) conduct the hearings and investigations that he or she deems appropriate, and (ii) choose either Landlord's Determination or Tenant's Determination as the better estimate of Fair Market Rent for the Applicable Area, within thirty (30) days after the date that the Broker Appraiser is designated. The Broker Appraiser's aforesaid choice shall be conclusive and binding upon Landlord and Tenant. Each party shall pay its own counsel fees and expenses, if any, in connection with the procedure described in this Article 56. The Broker Appraiser shall not have the power to supplement or modify any of the provisions of this Lease.
    F.    If the final determination of the Fair Market Rent is not made on or before the Applicable Date in accordance with the provisions of this Article 56 then, pending such final determination, the Fair Market Rent shall be deemed to be an amount equal to the average of Landlord's Determination and Tenant's Determination. If, based upon the final determination hereunder of the Fair Market Rent, the payments made by Tenant on account of the Rental for the period prior to the final determination of the Fair Market Rent were less than the Rental payable for such period, then Tenant, not later than the tenth (10th) day after Landlord's demand therefor, shall pay to Landlord the amount of such deficiency. If, based upon the final determination of the Fair Market Rent, the payments made by Tenant on account of the Rental for the period prior to the final determination of the Fair Market Rent were more than the Rental due hereunder for such period, then Landlord, not later than the tenth (10th) day after Tenant's demand therefor, shall pay such excess to Tenant.
