In determining the amount of Operating Expenses for any Base Expense Year or any Comparison Year, if less than 100% of the Building rentable area is occupied by tenants at any time during such Base Expense Year or any such Comparison Year, Operating Expenses shall be determined for such Base Expense Year or such Comparison Year to be an amount equal to the like expenses which would normally be expected to be incurred had such occupancy been 100% throughout such Base Expense Year or such Comparison Year. All Operating Expenses shall be calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied , or such other accounting standard then being used by Landlord for its internal financial record keeping, in either case consistently applied (the “Landlord’s Accounting Standard”).

Landlord may, during each Comparison Year, furnish to Tenant a revised Tax Estimate for such Comparison Year, and in such case, Tenant’s Tax Payment for such Comparison Year shall be adjusted and any deficiencies paid or overpayments credited, as the case may be, substantially in the same manner as provided in the preceding sentence. Following the end of each Comparison Year, as to Taxes, Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a Statement of Taxes applicable to Tenant’s Tax Payment payable for such Comparison Year and (A) if such Statement shall show that the sums so paid by Tenant were less than Tenant’s Tax Payment due for such Comparison Year, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount of such deficiency within thirty (30) days after delivery of the Statement to Tenant, or (B) if such Statement shall show that the sums so paid by Tenant were more than such Tenant’s Tax DocuSign Envelope ID: 9A9C9B12-A895-460A-B922-02EA96CBF419888 F039-07D3 96C 95C7 5 F6CAE9878F

If Landlord receives a refund of Taxes for any applicable Comparison Year, Landlord shall, at its election, either pay to Tenant, or credit against the next payments of Rent due hereunder, an amount equal to the applicable Tenant’s Tax Share of the refund, net of any reasonable and actual out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Landlord in achieving such refund, which amount shall not exceed the Tenant’s Tax Payment paid for such applicable Comparison Year. Landlord shall not be obligated to file any application or institute any proceeding seeking a reduction in Taxes or the Assessed Valuation. The benefit of any exemption or abatement relating to all or any part of the Real Property shall accrue solely to the benefit of Landlord, and Taxes shall be computed without taking into account any such exemption or abatement. (c) Tenant shall be responsible for any applicable occupancy or rent tax now in effect or hereafter enacted and, if such tax is payable by Landlord, Tenant shall promptly pay such amounts to Landlord, within thirty (30) days of Landlord’s demand.

If the Statement shows that the sums paid by Tenant under Section 7.3(a) exceeded the actual amount of Tenant’s Expense Payment for such Comparison Year, Landlord shall credit the amount of such excess against subsequent payments of Rent due hereunder (or at the end of the Term pay such amount to Tenant). If the Statement shows that the sums so paid by Tenant were less than Tenant’s Expense Payment for such Comparison Year, Tenant shall pay the amount of such deficiency within thirty (30) after delivery of the Statement to Tenant. Section 7.4 Non-Waiver; Disputes. (a) Landlord’s failure to render any Statement (whether for Taxes or Operating Expenses) by any particular date with respect to any applicable Comparison Year shall not prejudice Landlord’s right to thereafter render a Statement (whether for Taxes or Operating Expenses) with respect to such Comparison Year or any subsequent Comparison Year, nor shall the rendering of a Statement prejudice Landlord’s right to thereafter render a corrected Statement (whether for Taxes or Operating Expenses) for that Comparison Year, but only provided in each such case that Landlord shall render such Statement no later than one (1) year after the expiration of the later of (x) the applicable Tax Year or Expense Year for which the Statement or corrected Statement is rendered or (y) the date that Landlord acquires actual knowledge of the discrepancy underlying such corrected Statement.

As a condition to Tenant’s right to review the Records, Tenant shall pay all sums required to be paid in accordance with the Statement in question. If Tenant does not give such notice within such one year period, then such Statement shall be presumptively binding upon Tenant. Prior to reviewing any Records, Tenant and its accountant shall execute and deliver to Landlord a confidentiality agreement, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Landlord and Tenant, agreeing not to disclose any information in the Records to any third party. (ii) Tenant, within ninety (90) days after the date on which the Records are made available to Tenant, may send a notice (“Tenant’s Dispute Notice”) to Landlord that Tenant disagrees with the applicable Statement, specifying in reasonable detail the basis for Tenant’s disagreement and the amount of the Expense Payment Tenant claims it overpaid. If Tenant fails timely to deliver a Tenant’s Dispute Notice, then such Statement shall be conclusive and binding on Tenant. Landlord and Tenant shall attempt to adjust such disagreement. If they are unable to do so, and provided that the amount of the Expense Payment Tenant claims it overpaid is at least 5% of the Expense Payment that Landlord claims is due, Tenant shall give Landlord notice thereof (the “Arbiter Notice”) within ninety (90) days after the date on which the Records are made available to Tenant (in connection with the disagreement in question) that Tenant desires such disagreement to be determined by an Arbiter in accordance with this Section 7.4; and promptly thereafter, Landlord and Tenant shall jointly designate a certified public accountant (the “Arbiter”) whose determination made in accordance with this Section 7.4 will be binding upon the parties; provided, however, that if the amount of the Expense Payment Tenant claims it overpaid is not at least 3% of the Expense Payment Landlord claims is due, then Tenant shall have no right to dispute such amount and shall pay the amount that Landlord claims is due to the extent overpaid. If Tenant timely delivers a Tenant Dispute Notice, the disagreement referenced therein is not resolved by the parties and Tenant fails to notify Landlord of Tenant’s desire to have such disagreement determined by an Arbiter within the 90-day period set forth in the preceding sentence, then the Statement to which such disagreement relates shall be conclusive and binding on Tenant. (iii) The Arbiter shall be a member of an independent certified public accounting firm having at least 3 accounting professionals. If Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree on the designation of the Arbiter within fifteen (15) days after Landlord receives the Arbiter Notice, then either party shall have the right to request the American Arbitration Association or any organization which is the successor thereto (the “AAA”) to designate as the Arbiter a certified public accountant meeting the requirements of this subsection (iii) whose determination made in accordance with this Section 7.4(b) shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties, and the cost of such certified public accountant shall be borne as provided below. Any determination made by an Arbiter shall not exceed the amount determined to be due in the first instance by DocuSign Envelope ID: 9A9C9B12-A895-460A-B922-02EA96CBF419888 F039-07D3 96C 95C7 5 F6CAE9878F


 
27 Landlord’s Statement, nor shall such determination be less than the amount claimed to be due by Tenant in Tenant’s Dispute Notice, and any determination which does not comply with the foregoing shall be null and void and not binding on the parties. In rendering such determination such Arbiter shall not add to, subtract from or otherwise modify the provisions of this Lease, including the immediately preceding sentence. If the Arbiter confirms the determination of Landlord within 5%, then Tenant shall pay the cost of the Arbiter. If the Arbiter confirms the determination of Tenant within 5%, then Landlord shall pay the cost of the Arbiter. In all other events, the cost of the Arbiter shall be borne equally by Landlord and Tenant. If the determination of the Arbiter confirms that Tenant overpaid by at least seven and one half (7.5%) percent or more, Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Tenant in connection with such dispute. (iv) Pending the resolution of any contest pursuant to this Section 7.4(b), and as a condition to Tenant’s right to prosecute such contest, Tenant shall pay all sums required to be paid in accordance with the Statement in question. If Tenant shall prevail in such contest, an appropriate refund shall be made by Landlord to Tenant. Section 7.5 Additional Provisions Regarding Taxes and Operating Expenses. (a) In any case provided in this Article 7 in which Tenant is entitled to a refund, Landlord may, in lieu of making such refund, credit against the next installment of Rent any amounts to which Tenant shall be entitled. Nothing in this Article 7 shall be construed so as to result in a decrease in the Fixed Rent. If this Lease shall expire before any such credit shall have been fully applied, then (provided Tenant is not in monetary or material non-monetary default under this Lease beyond the expiration of any applicable grace, notice and/or cure periods) Landlord shall promptly refund to Tenant the unapplied balance of such credit (and no later than thirty (30) days thereafter). (b) Landlord and Tenant confirm that the computations under this Article 7 are intended to constitute a formula for agreed rental escalation and may or may not constitute an actual reimbursement to Landlord for Taxes and other costs and expenses incurred by Landlord with respect to the Real Property. If the Building shall be condominiumized, then Tenant’s Expense Payments and Tenant’s Tax Payments shall, if necessary, be equitably adjusted such that Tenant shall thereafter continue to pay the same share of the Taxes and Operating Expenses of the Building as Tenant would pay in the absence of such condominiumization. (c) If the Commencement Date is a day other than January 1, or if the Expiration Date is a day other than December 31, or if there is any increase or decrease in the area of the Premises, then in each such event in applying the provisions of this Article 7 with respect to the Comparison Year in which the event occurred, appropriate adjustments shall be made to reflect the result of such event on a basis consistent with the principles underlying the provisions of this Article 7, taking into consideration (i) the portion of such Comparison Year, as the case may be, which shall have elapsed prior to or after such event, (ii) the rentable area of the Premises affected thereby and the Base Tax Year applicable thereto, and (iii) the duration of such event.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, 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 terms, conditions and covenants set forth in this Lease except that such Successor Landlord (unless such Successor Landlord is an affiliate of Landlord) shall not be (i) liable for any act or omission of Landlord (except to the extent such act or omission continues beyond the date when such successor landlord succeeds to Landlord’s interest); (ii) subject to any defense, claim, counterclaim, set-off or offset which Tenant may have against Landlord; (iii) bound by any prepayment of more than thirty (30) days’ Rent to any prior landlord except to the extent received by Successor Landlord or specifically required by this Lease (such as the Advance Rent); (iv) bound by any obligation to make any payment to Tenant which was required to be made prior to the time such Successor Landlord succeeded to Landlord’s interest; (v) bound by any obligation to perform any work or to make improvements to the Premises except for (x) repairs and maintenance required to be made by Landlord under this Lease, and (y) repairs to the Premises as a result of damage by fire or other casualty or a partial condemnation required to be made pursuant to the provisions of this Lease, but only to the extent that such repairs can reasonably be made from the net proceeds of any insurance or condemnation awards, respectively, actually made available to such Successor Landlord; (vi) bound by any modification, amendment or renewal of this Lease made without Successor Landlord’s consent (except the exercise of renewal options, expansion options, termination options, modifications upon condemnation and casualty and other modifications expressly provided for in the Lease); (vii) liable for the repayment of any security deposit or surrender of any Letter of Credit, unless and until such Security Deposit actually is paid or such Letter of Credit is actually delivered to such Successor Landlord; or (viii) liable for the payment of any unfunded tenant improvement allowance, refurbishment allowance or similar obligation.

If any Superior Lessor or Mortgagee elects to remedy such act or omission of Landlord, Tenant shall not seek to terminate this Lease so long as such Superior Lessor or Mortgagee is proceeding with reasonable diligence to effect such remedy. Section 9.4 Provisions. The provisions of this Article 9 shall (a) inure to the benefit of Landlord, any future owner of the Building or the Real Property, Mortgagee and Superior Lessor (and any sublessor thereof) and (b) apply notwithstanding that as a matter of law, this Lease may terminate upon the termination of any such Superior Lease or Mortgage. Section 9.5 Future Condominium Declaration.

ARTICLE 10 SERVICES Section 10.1 Electricity. (a) (i) Landlord shall redistribute, or cause to be furnished, electricity to or for the use of Tenant in the Premises for the operation of Tenant’s electrical systems and equipment in the Premises (exclusive of fire/life safety systems and Base Building A/C Unit and HVAC System (hereinafter defined), but inclusive of supplemental air conditioning units installed by Tenant in accordance with the terms of this Lease, if any), at a level sufficient to accommodate a demand load of 6 watts per usable square foot of office space in the Premises (the “Maximum Electric Load”). Consumption of such electricity shall be measured by an existing submeter (or a submeter to be installed by Landlord at its cost if there is not an existing submeter in the Premises) which shall be maintained by Landlord at Landlord’s cost. For purposes of this Section 10.1(a)(i) only and not for any other purposes hereunder, the usable square footage of office space of Premises shall be deemed to be 9,980 square feet. (ii) All electricity used during the performance of cleaning services, or the making of any Alterations or Restorative Work in the Premises, or the operation of any supplemental or special air-conditioning systems serving the Premises, shall be paid for by Tenant. (iii) In addition to the Maximum Electric Load, Landlord shall redistribute, or cause to be furnished, electricity to or for the use of Tenant in the Premises for the operation of the Base Building A/C Unit at a level sufficient for the operation of such Base Building A/C Unit. Consumption of such electricity shall be measured by a submeter which shall be installed and maintained by Landlord at Landlord’s cost. (b) Submetering. Tenant shall pay to Landlord within thirty (30) Business Days of receipt of a bill therefor (which bill shall be rendered no more frequently than monthly), for its consumption of electricity at the Premises (including without limitation, for avoidance of doubt, consumption of electricity for operation of fire/life safety systems and the Base Building A/C Unit), a sum equal to 103% of the cost to Landlord of the electric current consumed by Tenant in such billing period charged by the utility company or third party provider providing electricity to the Building, which amount shall be determined by dividing the cost established by said utility company or provider (averaged separately for KWs and KWHRs) during each respective billing period by the number of KWs and KWHRs consumed by the Building appearing on the invoice for such period as applied to the submeter readings in the Premises. If any tax is imposed upon Landlord’s receipts from the sale or resale of electricity to Tenant, Tenant shall pay such tax if and to the extent permitted by law as if Tenant were the ultimate consumer of such electricity. Where more than one meter measures the electricity to the Premises, the electricity measured by each meter shall be computed and billed separately in accordance with the provisions set forth above.

Tenant shall at all times comply with the rules and regulations of the utility company supplying electricity to the Building. Tenant shall not use any electrical equipment that, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, would exceed the capacity of the electrical equipment serving the Premises from time to time. If Landlord reasonably determines that Tenant’s electrical requirements necessitate installation of any additional risers, feeders or other electrical distribution equipment (collectively, “Electrical Equipment”), or if (subject to Section 10.1(a)(ii)), Tenant provides Landlord with evidence reasonably satisfactory to Landlord of Tenant’s need for excess electricity and requests that additional Electrical Equipment be installed, Landlord shall, at Tenant’s expense, install such additional Electrical Equipment, provided that Landlord, in its sole reasonable judgment, determines that (i) such installation is practicable and necessary, (ii) such additional Electrical Equipment is permissible under applicable Requirements, and (iii) the installation of such Electrical Equipment will not cause permanent damage to the Building or the Premises, cause or create a hazardous condition, entail excessive or unreasonable alterations, interfere with or limit electrical usage by other current or future tenants or occupants of the Building or exceed the limits of the switchgear or other facilities serving the Building, or require power in excess of that available from the utility serving the Building. Section 10.2 Elevators. (a) Subject to Unavoidable Delay, Landlord shall provide (i) passenger elevator service, which elevators shall be secured via a card key system, to the Premises at all times during Business Hours, with at least one passenger elevator subject to call at all other times (24 hours a day, 365 days a year) and (ii) freight elevator service to the Premises on a first- come, first-served basis (i.e., no advance scheduling) on Business Days from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. and from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m., which hours of operation are subject to change, and on a reserved basis at all other times, subject to the payment of Landlord’s then established charges therefor. There shall be a minimum charge of 4 hours for any period of additional freight service that neither immediately precedes nor immediately follows the standard hours for freight elevators first set forth above in this Section 10.2(a).

(b) Tenant shall be entitled to use the freight elevator after hours, on a reserved (but first-come, first-served) basis, for up to 60 hours, without charge, during its move in period; provided, however, that each period of such free usage shall be in a minimum increment of 4 hours, and Tenant shall give Landlord at least one (1) Business Day’s notice of its requested time for such usage. Section 10.3 Heating; Ventilation and Air Conditioning. (a) Landlord shall furnish heating to the Premises during Business Hours. Heating service shall be available to Tenant outside of Business Hours on an overtime basis at a cost of $200.00 per hour (which amount is DocuSign Envelope ID: 9A9C9B12-A895-460A-B922-02EA96CBF419888 F039-07D3 96C 95C7 5 F6CAE9878F


 
35 subject to increase from time to time to cover Landlord’s actual out-of-pocket costs as reasonably determined by Landlord), subject to Landlord’s rules and regulations.

All electricity consumed by operation of the Base Building A/C Unit (whether for operation during or after Business Hours, and whether or not on Business Days) shall be submetered and paid for by Tenant (as set forth above). Landlord shall be responsible for the repair and replacement of the major components of the Base Building A/C Unit at Landlord’s cost and expense. Tenant shall pay to Landlord directly (within 30 days after receipt of an invoice therefor) the actual out-of-pocket costs of cleaning and otherwise repairing and maintaining the Base Building A/C Unit, at rates which are competitive with rates of other air conditioning maintenance contractors providing comparable services to Comparable Buildings, provided that such amount shall be capped at $3,000 per calendar year. In addition, Tenant shall have the right to install in the Premises supplemental air conditioning units, subject to Landlord’s reasonable approval and Tenant’s compliance with Requirements and to the other provisions of this Lease including without limitation those provisions governing Alterations and electricity. (c) Landlord shall have access to all air-cooling, fan, ventilating and machine rooms and electrical closets and all other mechanical installations of Landlord (collectively, “Mechanical Installations”), and Tenant shall not construct partitions or other obstructions which may interfere with Landlord’s access thereto or the moving of Landlord’s equipment to and from the Mechanical Installations (provided that Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts, in consultation with Tenant , to locate any and all such Mechanical Installations in areas that will minimize interference with Tenant’s use of the Premises). No Tenant Party shall at any time enter the Mechanical Installations or tamper with, adjust, or otherwise affect such Mechanical Installations. Except to the extent caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of a Landlord Party, Landlord shall not be responsible if the HVAC System fails to provide cooled or heated air, as the case may be, to the Premises in accordance with the Design Standards by reason of (i) any equipment installed by, for or on behalf of Tenant, which has an electrical load in excess of the average electrical load and human occupancy factors for the HVAC System as designed, or (ii) any rearrangement of partitioning or other Alterations made or performed by, for or on behalf of Tenant. Landlord shall install prior to the Commencement Date, if missing, blinds or shades on all windows. Tenant shall keep all of the operable windows in the Premises closed, and lower the blinds when necessary because of the sun’s position, whenever the HVAC System is in operation or as and when required by any Requirement. Tenant shall cooperate with Landlord and shall abide by the rules and regulations which Landlord may reasonably prescribe for the proper functioning and protection of the HVAC System. Section 10.4 Cleaning. Landlord shall cause the Premises (excluding any portions thereof used for the storage, preparation, service or consumption of food or beverages (other than standard office pantries), as an exhibition area or classroom, for storage, as a shipping room, mail room or similar purposes, for private bathrooms, showers or exercise facilities, as a trading DocuSign Envelope ID: 9A9C9B12-A895-460A-B922-02EA96CBF419888 F039-07D3 96C 95C7 5 F6CAE9878F

Any areas of the Premises that Landlord is not required to clean hereunder or that require additional cleaning shall be cleaned, at Tenant’s expense, by Landlord’s cleaning contractor, at rates which are competitive with rates of other cleaning contractors providing comparable services to Comparable Buildings. Landlord’s cleaning contractor and its employees shall have access to the Premises between 5 p.m. and 1 a.m. on Business Days and shall have the right to use, without charge therefor, all electricity and water in the Premises reasonably required to clean the Premises. Section 10.5 Water. Landlord shall provide hot and cold water to the lavatories and pantries of the Premises. If Tenant requires water for any additional purposes in excessive amounts, Tenant shall pay for the cost of bringing water to the Premises and Landlord may install a meter to measure the water. Tenant shall pay the cost of such installation, and for all maintenance, repairs and replacements thereto, and for the water consumed pursuant to the readings of any such meters and any other unusually high use of water. Section 10.6 Refuse Removal. Landlord shall provide refuse removal services at the Building for ordinary office refuse and rubbish which shall be performed after Business Hours on each and every Business Day. Tenant shall pay to Landlord Landlord’s reasonable charge for such removal to the extent that the refuse generated by Tenant is wet waste or exceeds the refuse customarily generated by general office tenants. Tenant shall not dispose of any refuse in the Common Areas, and if Tenant does so, Tenant shall be liable for Landlord’s reasonable charge for such removal. Section 10.7 Directory. Tenant acknowledges that there is no Building directory, provided if there is in the future any Building directory or other similar service provided to tenants of the Building, Tenant shall be entitled to its proportionate share thereof. Section 10.8 Telecommunications. If Tenant requests that Landlord grant access to the Building to a telecommunications service provider designated by Tenant for purposes of providing telecommunications services to Tenant, Landlord shall use its good faith efforts to respond to such request within ten (10) Business Days. Tenant acknowledges that nothing set forth in this Section 10.8 shall impose any affirmative obligation on Landlord to grant such request and that Landlord shall have the right to determine which telecommunications service providers shall have access to Building facilities provided such consent to access for such provider shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Section 10.9 Mail. There is no mail room in the Building. Mail and packages are delivered by the US Postal Service and other carriers to the receptionist at the Premises and Landlord has no responsibility therefor. Section 10.10 Service Interruptions. Landlord reserves the right to suspend any service when necessary, by reason of Unavoidable Delays, accidents or emergencies, or for Restorative Work that, in Landlord’s judgment, is necessary or appropriate until such Unavoidable Delay or other cause of such suspension is resolved, or such Restorative Work is completed, and Landlord DocuSign Envelope ID: 9A9C9B12-A895-460A-B922-02EA96CBF419888 F039-07D3 96C 95C7 5 F6CAE9878F


 
37 shall not be liable for any interruption, curtailment or failure to supply services. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to minimize interference with Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Premises as a result of any such interruption, curtailment or failure of or defect in such service, or change in the supply, character and/or quantity of electrical service, and to restore any such services, remedy such situation and minimize any interference with Tenant’s business including without limitation, scheduling any such interruption or curtailment at times that minimizes, to the extent reasonably practicable, the effect of such interruption or curtailment on Tenant's ability to conduct its business in the Premises during Tenant's ordinary business hours, and if such interruption or curtailment (i) denies Tenant from having reasonable access to the Premises, (ii) threatens the health or safety of any occupant of the Premises, or (iii) materially interferes with Tenant's ability to conduct its business in the Premises during Tenant's ordinary business hours, then Landlord shall employ contractors or labor at overtime or premium pay rates to the extent reasonably necessary. The exercise of any such right or the occurrence of any such failure by Landlord shall not (i) constitute an actual or constructive eviction, in whole or in part; (ii) entitle Tenant to any compensation, abatement or diminution of Rent; (iii) relieve Tenant from any of its obligations under this Lease; or (iv) impose any liability upon Landlord or any Landlord Indemnitees by reason of inconvenience to Tenant, or interruption of Tenant’s business, or otherwise; provided that notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Premises, or a material portion of the Premises, are rendered Untenantable as a result of a service interruption that is reasonably within the control of Landlord to prevent and/or correct, and through no fault of Tenant (and are not actually used by Tenant for the conduct of its business) (a “Service Interruption”) for a period in excess of seven (7) consecutive Business Days after Tenant has given Landlord notice thereof, then Tenant, as its sole remedy for the Premises being Untenantable for such period shall be entitled to receive an abatement of Fixed Rent, Tenant’s Tax Payment and Tenant’s Expense Payment payable hereunder, proportionately based upon the portion of the Premises rendered Untenantable and not actually used during such period beginning on the eighth (8th) consecutive Business Day of the Service Interruption and ending on the earlier of (x) the day the Premises (or the applicable portion thereof) are no longer Untenantable by reason of such Service Interruption, and (y) the day Tenant actually begins to use the Premises (or the applicable portion thereof) for the conduct of its business. ARTICLE 11 INSURANCE; PROPERTY LOSS OR DAMAGE Section 11.1 Tenant’s Insurance. (a) Tenant, at its expense, shall obtain and keep in full force and effect during the Term the following insurance: (i) a policy of commercial general liability insurance on an occurrence basis against claims for personal injury, bodily injury, death and/or property damage occurring in or about the Building, under which Tenant is named as the insured and Landlord, Landlord’s Agent and any Superior Lessors and any Mortgagees whose names have been furnished to Tenant are named as additional insureds (the “Insured DocuSign Envelope ID: 9A9C9B12-A895-460A-B922-02EA96CBF419888 F039-07D3 96C 95C7 5 F6CAE9878F


 
38 Parties”). Such insurance shall provide primary coverage without contribution from any other insurance carried by or for the benefit of the Insured Parties, and Tenant shall obtain blanket broad-form contractual liability coverage to insure its indemnity obligations set forth in Article 25. The minimum limits of liability applying exclusively to the Premises shall be a combined single limit with respect to each occurrence in an amount of not less than $5,000,000 which may be fulfilled through umbrella coverage; provided, however, that Landlord may require Tenant to increase such coverage from time to time by giving Tenant at least thirty (30) days prior notice (but not more than once during the Initial Term) to that amount of insurance which in Landlord’s reasonable judgment is then being customarily required by landlords for similar office space in Comparable Buildings. The self-insured retention for such policy shall not exceed $10,000; (ii) insurance against loss or damage by fire, and such other risks and hazards as are insurable under then available standard forms of “special form causes of loss” or “all risk” property insurance policies with extended coverage, insuring all personal property, fixtures, furnishings, equipment, improvements, betterments and installations located in the Premises, whether or not installed or paid for by Landlord (including without limitation Landlord’s Work and the Initial Installations) for the full insurable value thereof or replacement cost thereof, having a deductible amount, if any, not in excess of $25,000; (iii) during the performance of any Alteration, until completion, builder’s risk insurance on an “all risk” basis and on a completed value form including a “permission to complete and occupy” endorsement, for full replacement value covering the interest of Landlord and Tenant (and their respective contractors and subcontractors) in all work incorporated in the Building and all materials and equipment in or about the Premises, provided that for any given Alteration, separate builder’s risk insurance shall not be required provided that either Tenant’s contractors have such insurance or Tenant’s property insurance provides coverage with regard to such Alteration substantially similar the coverage that would be provided by such builder’s risk insurance; (iv) workers’ compensation insurance, as required by Requirements; (v) intentionally omitted; (vi) business interruption insurance covering a minimum of one year of Rent; and (vii) such other insurance in such amounts as Landlord may reasonably require from time to time provided same are comparable to requirements of other landlords of other similar buildings in Manhattan. (b) All insurance required to be carried by Tenant (i) shall contain a provision that such insurance shall be noncancellable, and no material change in coverage shall be made thereto, unless the Insured Parties receive at least thirty (30) days’ prior notice of the same, by DocuSign Envelope ID: 9A9C9B12-A895-460A-B922-02EA96CBF419888 F039-07D3 96C 95C7 5 F6CAE9878F

(c) On or prior to the Commencement Date, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord appropriate policies of insurance, including evidence of the waivers of subrogation required to be carried pursuant to this Article 11 and that the Insured Parties are named as additional insureds (the “Policies”). Evidence of each renewal or replacement of the Policies shall be delivered by Tenant to Landlord at least ten (10) days prior to the expiration of the Policies. In lieu of the Policies, Tenant may deliver to Landlord a certification from Tenant’s insurance company (on the forms currently designated “Acord 27” (Evidence of Property Insurance) and “Acord 25-S” (Certificate of Liability Insurance), or the equivalent), provided that attached thereto is an endorsement to Tenant’s commercial general liability policy naming the Insured Parties as additional insureds, which endorsement is at least as broad as ISO policy form “CG 2011 Additional Insured-Managers or Lessors of Premises” (pre-1999 edition) and which endorsement expressly provides coverage for the negligence of the additional insureds, which certification shall be binding on Tenant’s insurance company, and which shall expressly provide that such certification (i) conveys to the Insured Parties all the rights and privileges afforded under the Policies as primary insurance, and (ii) contains an unconditional obligation of the insurance company to advise all Insured Parties in writing by certified mail, return receipt requested, or by nationally recognized overnight courier, at least thirty (30) days in advance of any termination of or change to the Policies that would affect the interest of any of the Insured Parties (the “Insurance Certificates”). (d) Landlord shall keep the Building insured against damage and destruction by fire, vandalism, and other perils under “all risk” property insurance written on a replacement cost basis in amounts required by a Mortgagee, or if there is no Mortgagee, in amounts sufficient to avoid the effects of co-insurance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord may elect to self- insure with respect to the insurance coverages required by the terms of this Section 11.1(d). Section 11.2 Mutual Release and Waiver of Subrogation. Landlord and Tenant shall each procure an appropriate clause in or endorsement to any property insurance it carries covering the Real Property or any personal property, fixtures and equipment located therein. The insurer under each such policy of property insurance shall waive subrogation or consent to a waiver of right of recovery against the other party. Each of Landlord and Tenant agrees not to make any claim against, or seek to recover from, the other for any loss or damage to its property or the property of others resulting from fire or other hazards covered by their respective policies. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord shall not carry insurance on, and shall not be responsible for, (i) damage to any Alterations or improvements to the Premises (including Initial Installations); (ii) damage to Tenant’s Property or the Landlord Purchased Furniture; or (iii) any loss suffered by Tenant due to interruption of Tenant’s business.

40 Section 11.3 Restoration. (a) If the Premises are damaged by fire or other casualty, or if the Building is damaged such that Tenant is deprived of reasonable access to the Premises, Tenant shall give prompt notice thereof to Landlord, and the damage shall be repaired by Landlord to the condition of the Premises on the date possession thereof was delivered to Tenant in accordance with the terms of this Lease (“Restoration Delivery Condition”), subject to the provisions of any Mortgage or Superior Lease, but Landlord shall have no obligation to repair or restore any personal property, fixtures, furnishings, equipment, improvements, betterments or installations located in the Premises, whether or not installed or paid for by Landlord (excluding Landlord’s Work). So long as no Event of Default exists and is continuing beyond the expiration of any applicable grace, notice and/or cure periods, then until the restoration of the Premises to Restoration Delivery Condition is Substantially Completed (or would have been Substantially Completed but for Tenant Delay or further Unavoidable Delay), Fixed Rent, Tenant’s Tax Payments and Tenant’s Expense Payment shall be reduced in the proportion by which the area of the floor of the Premises that is not tenantable or not accessible and is not used by Tenant bears to the total area of the floor of the Premises. This Article 11 constitutes an express agreement governing any case of damage or destruction of the Premises or the Building by fire or other casualty, and Section 227 of the Real Property Law of the state of New York, which provides for such contingency in the absence of an express agreement, and any other law of like nature and purpose now or hereafter in force, shall have no application in any such case. Section 11.4 Landlord’s Termination Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 11.3, if (a) the Premises are totally damaged or are rendered wholly Untenantable, (b) the Building shall be so damaged that, in Landlord’s reasonable opinion, substantial alteration, demolition, or reconstruction of the Building shall be required (whether or not the Premises are so damaged or rendered Untenantable), (c) any Mortgagee shall require that the insurance proceeds or any portion thereof be used to repay the Mortgage debt, or any Superior Lessor shall terminate the Superior Lease, as the case may be, or (d) the damage is not fully covered, except for deductible amounts, by Landlord’s insurance policies, then, in any of such events, Landlord may, not later than sixty (60) days following the date of the damage, terminate this Lease by notice to Tenant, provided that if the Building, but not the Premises, is damaged, Landlord may not terminate this Lease unless Landlord similarly terminates the leases of other tenants in the Building aggregating (together with the Premises) at least 75% of the portion of the Building occupied for office purposes immediately prior to such damage. If this Lease is terminated under this Section 11.4, (v) the Term shall expire on the 30th day after such notice is given, (w) Tenant shall vacate the Premises and surrender the same to Landlord, (x) Tenant’s liability for Rent shall cease as of the date of the damage, (y) any prepaid Rent for any period after the date of the damage shall be refunded by Landlord to Tenant and (z) Landlord shall be entitled to collect all insurance proceeds of policies held by Landlord or Tenant providing coverage for the Initial Installations and other improvements to the Premises. Landlord shall retain such proceeds from Tenant's insurance only to the extent that Landlord performed or paid for such Initial Installations or other Alterations and improvements, whether by contribution, offset or otherwise, and the balance of such proceeds, if any, shall be paid to Tenant. Section 11.5 Tenant’s Termination Right. If the Premises are totally damaged and are thereby rendered not in Restoration Delivery Condition, or if the Building shall be so damaged DocuSign Envelope ID: 9A9C9B12-A895-460A-B922-02EA96CBF419888 F039-07D3 96C 95C7 5 F6CAE9878F

If such date, as set forth in the Restoration Notice, is more than twelve (12) months from the date of such damage, then Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease by giving notice (the “Casualty Termination Notice”) to Landlord not later than thirty (30) days following delivery of the Restoration Notice to Tenant. If Tenant delivers a Casualty Termination Notice, this Lease shall be deemed to have terminated as of the date of the giving of the Casualty Termination Notice, in the manner set forth in the last sentence of Section 11.4.

ARTICLE 12 EMINENT DOMAIN Section 12.1 Taking. (a) Total Taking. If all or substantially all of the Real Property, the Building or the Premises shall be acquired or condemned for any public or quasi-public purpose (a “Taking”), this Lease shall terminate and the Term shall end as of the date of the vesting of title, and Rent shall be prorated and adjusted as of such date. (b) Partial Taking. Upon a Taking of only a part of the Real Property, the Building or the Premises, and except as otherwise provided in this Article 12, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, and from and after the date of the vesting of title, the Fixed Rent, Tenant’s Tax Share and Tenant’s Expense Share shall be modified to reflect the reduction of the Premises and/or the Building as a result of such Taking. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant in all events shall be entitled to such part of the award attributable to any required restoration of any Tenant’s Alterations, Initial Instillations and Tenant’s Property in all other cases. (c) Landlord’s Termination Right. Regardless of whether the Premises are affected, Landlord may, by notice to Tenant, within sixty (60) days following the date upon which Landlord receives notice of a Taking of all or a portion of the Real Property, the Building or the Premises, terminate this Lease, provided that Landlord elects to terminate leases (including this Lease) affecting at least 50% of the rentable area of the Building. (d) Tenant’s Termination Right. If the part of the Real Property so taken pursuant to a Taking affects more than 20% of the total area of the Premises occupied by Tenant immediately prior to such Taking, or if by reason of such Taking, Tenant no longer has reasonable means of access to the Premises, Tenant may terminate this Lease by notice to Landlord given within thirty (30) days following the date upon which Tenant is given notice of such Taking. If Tenant so notifies Landlord, this Lease shall end and expire upon the thirtieth (30th) day following the giving of such notice. If a part of the Premises is Taken, and this Lease is not terminated in accordance with this Section 12.1, Landlord shall (subject to the provisions of any Mortgage or Superior Lease), restore that part of the Premises not so Taken to a self-contained rental unit substantially equivalent with respect to character, quality, appearance and services to that which existed immediately prior to such Taking, excluding Tenant’s Property and Alterations, including Initial Installations (but in no event shall Landlord be required to spend amounts in excess of the amount of the award paid to Landlord), and Tenant shall be entitled to a proportionate abatement of Rent on the same terms as set forth in Section 11.3 above.

Upon any termination of this Lease pursuant to the provisions of this Article 12, Rent shall be apportioned as of, and shall be paid or refunded up to and including, the date of such termination.

Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord or the condemning authority for the value of any unexpired portion of the Term or Tenant’s Alterations (except with respect to the portion thereof paid for by Tenant), and Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord all of its right in and to such award. Nothing contained in this Article 12 shall be deemed to prevent Tenant from making a separate claim in any condemnation proceedings for the then value of any Tenant’s Property or Alterations paid for by Tenant included in such Taking and for any moving expenses, provided any such award is in addition to, and does not result in a reduction of, the award made to Landlord. Section 12.3 Temporary Taking. If there is a temporary taking of all or any part of the Premises during the Term for any public or quasi-public use or purpose, Tenant shall give prompt notice to Landlord. In such event, the Term shall not be reduced or affected in any way, and Tenant shall continue to pay all Rent payable by Tenant without reduction or abatement and to perform all of its other obligations under this Lease, except to the extent prevented from doing so by the condemning authority, and Tenant shall be entitled to receive any award or payment from the condemning authority for such use, which shall be received, held and applied by Tenant as a trust fund for payment of the Rent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant in such event shall be entitled to such part of the award attributable to any required restoration of any Tenant’s Alterations, Initial Instillations and Tenant’s Property. If any such temporary taking would permit Tenant to terminate this Lease pursuant to Section 12.1(d) above but for it being a temporary taking and such taking will last for more than twelve (12) months, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease in accordance with the provisions Section 12.1(d) above.

44 whether one or more Persons hold the Controlling interest prior to the transfer or afterwards. In addition, an agreement under which another Person becomes responsible for all or a portion of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease shall be deemed an assignment of this Lease.

(b) Tenant’s Offer Notice shall be deemed an irrevocable offer from Tenant to Landlord pursuant to which Landlord (or Landlord’s designee) may, at Landlord’s option, (i) terminate this Lease (if the proposed transaction is (x) an assignment; (y) a sublease of all or substantially all of the Premises for all or substantially all of the remaining Term; or (z) a sublease of a portion of the Premises which, when aggregated with other subleases then in effect, covers all or substantially all of the Premises for all or substantially all of the remaining Term) or (ii) terminate this Lease with respect to the portion of the Premises covered by the proposed sublease if such sublease is for all or substantially all of the remaining Term. Said option may be exercised by Landlord’s giving notice to Tenant within thirty (30) days after receipt of Tenant’s Offer Notice, together with all information required to be delivered pursuant to Section 13.2(a), has been given by Tenant to Landlord. (c) If Landlord exercises its option under Section 13.2(b)(i) to terminate this Lease, then this Lease shall terminate on the proposed assignment date or sublease commencement date specified in the applicable Tenant’s Offer Notice, and all Rent shall be paid and apportioned to such date. (d) Intentionally omitted (e) If Landlord exercises its option under Section 13.2(b)(ii) to terminate this Lease with respect to the space covered by a proposed sublease, then (i) this Lease shall terminate with respect to such part of the Premises on the effective date of the proposed sublease; (ii) from and after such date the Rent shall be adjusted, based upon the proportion that the rentable area DocuSign Envelope ID: 9A9C9B12-A895-460A-B922-02EA96CBF419888 F039-07D3 96C 95C7 5 F6CAE9878F

In the case of a proposed assignment, Tenant shall not assign this Lease to a third party to which Tenant pays greater consideration, or grants a greater concession, for such assignment than the consideration offered to be paid, or concession offered to be granted, to Landlord in Tenant’s Offer Notice, or receives less consideration from such third party for such assignment than the consideration offered to be paid by Landlord in Tenant’s Offer Notice, in each case without complying once again with all of the provisions of this Section 13.2 and reoffering to assign this Lease to Landlord and to pay such consideration or grant such concession to Landlord provided such transaction is substantially different from the transaction in Tenant’s Offer Notice. The terms of a proposed sublet or proposed assignment shall be deemed “substantially different from” the terms set forth in the Tenant’s Offer Notice delivered to Landlord pursuant to Section 13.2 hereof if the economic terms of such proposed sublet or assignment on an aggregate basis differ by more than seven and five tenths percent (7.5%) from the terms contained in the terms set forth in the notice delivered to Landlord pursuant to Section 13.2 hereof.

In either event, Landlord may apply the net amount collected against Rent, but no such assignment, subletting, occupancy or collection shall be deemed a waiver of any of the provisions of Section 13.1(a), or the acceptance of the assignee, subtenant or occupant as tenant, or a release of Tenant from the performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease.

In consideration of such assignment or subletting, Tenant shall pay to Landlord: (i) In the case of an assignment, within ten (10) days receipt by Tenant, 50% of all sums and other consideration paid to Tenant by the assignee for or by reason of such assignment (including key money, bonus money and any sums paid for services rendered by Tenant to the assignee in excess of the reasonable fair market value for such services and sums paid for the sale or rental of Tenant’s Property, minus the then reasonable fair market or rental value thereof) after first deducting the Transaction Costs; or DocuSign Envelope ID: 9A9C9B12-A895-460A-B922-02EA96CBF419888 F039-07D3 96C 95C7 5 F6CAE9878F


 
51 (ii) In the case of a sublease, 50% of any consideration paid under the sublease to Tenant by the subtenant that exceeds on a per square foot basis the Fixed Rent and Additional Rent accruing hereunder during the term of the sublease in respect of the sublet space (together with any sums paid for services rendered by Tenant to the subtenant in excess of the reasonable fair market value for such services and sums paid for the sale or rental of Tenant’s Property, less the then reasonable fair market or rental value thereof) after first deducting the monthly amortized amount of Transaction Costs. The sums payable under this clause shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord monthly within ten (10) days of when paid by the subtenant to Tenant. (b) The amount payable under this Section 13.7 with respect to any particular subletting or assignment is sometimes referred to herein as the “Transfer Premium.” Landlord or its authorized representatives shall have the right at all reasonable times to audit the books, records and papers of Tenant relating to any subletting or assignment, and shall have the right to make copies thereof provided same does not violate any Requirements and such parties enter into a reasonable confidentiality and non-disclosure agreement in the form reasonably required by Tenant prior to any such audit. If the Transfer Premium respecting any subletting or assignment shall be found understated, Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days after demand, pay the deficiency, and if understated by more than 2%, Landlord’s costs of such audit. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to contrary contained herein, in no event shall any Transfer Premium be due to Landlord in connection with any transactions pursuant to Sections 13.1(b) or (c) or 13.10. Section 13.8 Listings in Building Directory. The listing of any name other than that of Tenant on the doors of the Premises, the Building directory (if any) or elsewhere shall not vest any right or interest in this Lease or in the Premises, nor be deemed to constitute Landlord’s consent to any assignment or transfer of this Lease or to any sublease of the Premises or to the use or occupancy thereof by others. Any such listing shall constitute a privilege revocable in Landlord’s discretion by notice to Tenant. Section 13.9 Lease Disaffirmance or Rejection. If at any time after an assignment by the Named Tenant, this Lease is not affirmed or is rejected in any bankruptcy proceeding or any similar proceeding or upon a termination of this Lease due to any such proceeding, the Named Tenant, upon request of Landlord given after such disaffirmance, rejection or termination (and actual notice thereof to Landlord in the event of a disaffirmance or rejection or in the event of termination other than by act of Landlord), shall (a) pay to Landlord all Rent and other charges due and owing by the assignee to Landlord under this Lease to and including the date of such disaffirmance, rejection or termination, and (b) as “tenant,” enter into a new lease of the Premises with Landlord for a term commencing on the effective date of such disaffirmance, rejection or termination and ending on the Expiration Date, at the same Rent and upon the then executory terms, covenants and conditions contained in this Lease, except that (i) the rights of the Named Tenant under the new lease shall be subject to the possessory rights of the assignee under this Lease and the possessory rights of any Persons claiming through or under such assignee or by virtue of any statute or of any order of any court, (ii) such new lease shall require all defaults existing under this Lease to be cured by the Named Tenant with due diligence, and (iii) such new DocuSign Envelope ID: 9A9C9B12-A895-460A-B922-02EA96CBF419888 F039-07D3 96C 95C7 5 F6CAE9878F


 
52 lease shall require the Named Tenant to pay all Rent which, had this Lease not been so disaffirmed, rejected or terminated, would have become due under the provisions of this Lease after the date of such disaffirmance, rejection or termination with respect to any period prior thereto. If the Named Tenant defaults in its obligations to enter into such new lease for a period of ten (10) days after Landlord’s request, then, in addition to all other rights and remedies by reason of default, either at law or in equity, Landlord shall have the same rights and remedies against the Named Tenant as if it had entered into such new lease and such new lease had thereafter been terminated as of the commencement date thereof by reason of Tenant’s default thereunder. Section 13.10 Permitted Occupants. Notwithstanding any other provision contained in the Lease, Tenant shall have the right, without Landlord’s consent, but subject to compliance with the terms of this Section 13.10, to permit up to twenty-five (25%) percent of the Premises to be occupied on a temporary basis, at any time and from time to time, by clients, independent contractors or other persons with a significant, ongoing business relationship with Tenant (such persons or entities who shall be permitted to occupy portions of the Premises pursuant to this Section being hereinafter referred to as “Permitted Occupant”, or collectively as the “Permitted Occupants”), provided that (i) there shall be no separate identification of any Permitted Occupants in the lobby of the Building, (ii) the Permitted Occupants shall use the Premises in conformity with all of the applicable provisions of the Lease, (iii) no demising walls shall be erected in the Premises separating the space used by a Permitted Occupant from the remainder of the Premises, (vi) in no event shall the use of any portion of the Premises by any Permitted Occupant create or be deemed to create any right, title or interest of the Permitted Occupant in or to the Premises, (vii) such arrangement will terminate automatically upon the termination of this Lease, (viii) the license or occupancy agreement is subject and subordinate to this Lease and all matters to which this Lease is subject and subordinate and (ix) such arrangement is for a valid business purpose and not to avoid any obligations under this Lease. The provisions of Sections 13.1(a), 13.2, 13.3 and 13.7 above shall not apply to transactions pursuant to this Section 13.11. ARTICLE 14 ACCESS TO PREMISES Section 14.1 Landlord’s Access. (a) Landlord, Landlord’s agents and utility service providers servicing the Building may erect, use and maintain concealed ducts, pipes and conduits in and through the Premises provided same are concealed behind walls and ceilings of the Premises and are installed by such methods and at such locations as will not materially interfere with or impair Tenant’s layout or use of the Premises or reduce the useable area thereof beyond a de minimis amount. Landlord shall promptly repair any damage to the Premises caused by any work performed pursuant to this Article 14.

If at any time any windows of the Premises are temporarily darkened or covered over by reason of any Restorative Work, any of such windows are permanently darkened or covered over due to any Requirement or there is otherwise a diminution of light, air or view by another structure which may hereafter be erected (whether or not by Landlord), Landlord shall not be liable for any damages and Tenant shall not be entitled to any compensation or abatement of any Rent, nor shall the same release Tenant from its obligations hereunder or constitute an actual or constructive eviction. ARTICLE 15 DEFAULT Section 15.1 Tenant’s Defaults. “Event of Default” means any one of the following: (a) Tenant fails to pay when due any installment of Rent and such default shall continue for ten (10) days after notice of such default is given to Tenant; or (b) Tenant fails to observe or perform any other term, covenant or condition of this Lease and such failure continues for more than thirty (30) days (ten (10) days with respect to a default under Article 3) after notice by Landlord to Tenant of such default, or if such default (other than a default under Article 3) is of a nature that it cannot be completely remedied within thirty (30) days, failure by Tenant to commence to remedy such failure within said thirty (30) days, and thereafter diligently prosecute to completion all steps necessary to remedy such default; or (c) if Landlord applies or retains any part of the security held by it hereunder, and Tenant fails to deposit with Landlord the amount so applied or retained by Landlord, or to DocuSign Envelope ID: 9A9C9B12-A895-460A-B922-02EA96CBF419888 F039-07D3 96C 95C7 5 F6CAE9878F


 
54 provide Landlord with a replacement Letter of Credit (as hereinafter defined), if applicable, within 10 days after notice by Landlord to Tenant stating the amount applied or retained; or (d) Tenant defaults in the observance or performance of any term, covenant or condition on Tenant’s part to be observed or performed under any other lease with Landlord or Landlord’s predecessor-in-interest for space in the Building and such default shall continue beyond any grace period set forth in such other lease for the remedying of such default; or (e) Tenant or any guarantor of this Lease files a voluntary petition in bankruptcy or insolvency, or is adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, or files any petition or answer seeking any reorganization, liquidation, dissolution or similar relief under any present or future federal bankruptcy act or any other present or future applicable federal, state or other statute or law, or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors or seeks or consents to or acquiesces in the appointment of any trustee, receiver, liquidator or other similar official for Tenant or such guarantor, as the case may be, or for all or any part of Tenant’s property or such guarantor’s property, as the case may be; or (f) a court of competent jurisdiction shall enter an order, judgment or decree adjudicating Tenant bankrupt, or appointing a trustee, receiver or liquidator of Tenant, or of the whole or any substantial part of its property, without the consent of Tenant, or approving a petition filed against Tenant seeking reorganization or arrangement of Tenant under the bankruptcy laws of the United States, as now in effect or hereafter amended, or any state thereof, and such order, judgment or decree shall not be vacated or set aside or stayed within sixty (60) days from the date of entry thereof. Upon the occurrence of any one or more of such Events of Default, Landlord may, at its sole option, give to Tenant five (5) Business Days’ notice of cancellation of this Lease (or of Tenant’s possession of the Premises), in which event this Lease and the Term (or Tenant’s possession of the Premises) shall terminate (whether or not the Term shall have commenced) with the same force and effect as if the date set forth in the notice were the Expiration Date stated herein; and Tenant shall then quit and surrender the Premises to Landlord, but Tenant shall remain liable for damages as provided in this Article 15. Section 15.2 Landlord’s Remedies. (a) Possession/Reletting. If any Event of Default occurs and this Lease and the Term, or Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises, terminate as provided in Section 15.1: (i) Surrender of Possession.

55 (ii) Landlord’s Reletting. Landlord, at Landlord’s option, may relet all or any part of the Premises from time to time, either in the name of Landlord or otherwise, to such tenant or tenants, for any term ending before, on or after the Expiration Date, at such rental and upon such other conditions (which may include concessions and free rent periods) as Landlord, in its sole discretion, may determine. Landlord shall have no obligation to accept any tenant offered by Tenant and shall not be liable for failure to relet, in the event of any such reletting, for failure to collect any rent due upon any such reletting; and no such failure shall relieve Tenant of, or otherwise affect, any liability under this Lease. Landlord, at Landlord’s option, may make such alterations, decorations and other physical changes in and to the Premises as Landlord, in its sole discretion, considers advisable or necessary in connection with such reletting or proposed reletting, without relieving Tenant of any liability under this Lease or otherwise affecting any such liability. (b) Tenant’s Waiver. Tenant, on its own behalf and on behalf of all Persons claiming through or under Tenant, including all creditors, hereby waives all rights which Tenant and all such Persons might otherwise have under any Requirement (i) to the service of any notice of intention to re-enter or to institute legal proceedings, (ii) to redeem, or to re-enter or repossess the Premises, or (iii) to restore the operation of this Lease, after (A) Tenant shall have been dispossessed by judgment or by warrant of any court or judge, (B) any re-entry by Landlord, or (C) any expiration or early termination of the term of this Lease, whether such dispossess, re-entry, expiration or termination shall be 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. (c) Tenant’s Breach. Upon the breach by Tenant, or any Persons claiming through or under Tenant, of any term, covenant or condition of this Lease, Landlord shall have the right to enjoin such breach and to 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. The rights to invoke the remedies set forth above are cumulative and shall not preclude Landlord from invoking any other remedy allowed at law or in equity. Section 15.3 Landlord’s Damages. (a) Amount of Damages. If this Lease and the Term, or Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises, terminate as provided in Section 15.1, then (i) Tenant shall pay to Landlord all items of Rent payable under this Lease by Tenant to Landlord prior to the date of termination. (ii) Landlord may retain all monies, if any, paid by Tenant to Landlord (and, in the case of any Letter of Credit, draw on such Letter of Credit), whether as prepaid Rent, a security deposit (or proceeds thereof) or otherwise, which monies, to the extent not otherwise applied to amounts due and owing to Landlord, shall be credited by Landlord against any damages payable by Tenant to Landlord and/or against any Rent due hereunder. DocuSign Envelope ID: 9A9C9B12-A895-460A-B922-02EA96CBF419888 F039-07D3 96C 95C7 5 F6CAE9878F


 
56 (iii) Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in monthly installments, on the days specified in this Lease for payment of installments of Fixed Rent, any Deficiency; it being understood that Landlord shall be entitled to recover the Deficiency from Tenant each month as the same shall arise, and no suit 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 proceeding. (iv) Whether or not Landlord shall have collected any monthly Deficiency, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, on demand, in lieu of any further Deficiency and as liquidated and agreed final damages, a sum equal to the amount by which the Rent for the period which otherwise would have constituted the unexpired portion of the Term (assuming the Additional Rent, or expenses on which the amount of any item of Additional Rent is based, as applicable, during such period to be the same as was payable for the year immediately preceding such termination or re-entry, increased in each succeeding year by 4% (on a compounded basis)) exceeds the then fair and reasonable rental value of the Premises, for the same period (with both amounts being discounted to present value at a rate of interest equal to 2% below the then Base Rate minus the aggregate amount of the Deficiency theretofore collected by Landlord pursuant to the provisions of Section 15.3(a)(iii) for the same period. If, before presentation of proof of such liquidated damages to any court, commission or tribunal, the Premises, or any part thereof, shall have been relet by Landlord for the period that otherwise would have constituted the unexpired portion of the Term, or any part thereof, the amount of rent reserved upon such reletting shall be deemed prima facie to be the fair and reasonable rental value for the part or the whole of the Premises so relet during the term of the reletting. (b) Reletting. If the Premises, or any part thereof, are relet together with other space in the Building, the rents collected or reserved under any such reletting and the actual out-of-pocket expenses of any such reletting shall be equitably apportioned for the purposes of this Section 15.3. Tenant shall not be entitled to any rents collected or payable under any reletting, whether or not such rents exceed the Fixed Rent reserved in this Lease. Nothing contained in this Article 15 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 Requirement, or of any sums or damages to which Landlord may be entitled in addition to the damages set forth in this Section 15.3. Section 15.4 Interest and Late Charge. If any payment of Rent is not paid when due, interest shall accrue on such payment at the Interest Rate from the date such payment became due until paid. Tenant acknowledges that late payment by Tenant of Rent will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of such costs being extremely difficult and impracticable to fix. Such costs include processing and accounting charges and late charges that may be imposed on Landlord by the terms of any note secured by a Mortgage covering the Premises. Therefore, in addition to assessing interest, if any Rent is not paid when due, Landlord shall assess a late charge equal to 5% of such Rent; provided, however, that on two (2) occasions during any calendar year of the Term, Landlord shall give Tenant notice of such late DocuSign Envelope ID: 9A9C9B12-A895-460A-B922-02EA96CBF419888 F039-07D3 96C 95C7 5 F6CAE9878F


 
57 payment and Tenant shall have a period of five (5) Business Days thereafter in which to make such payment before any late charge or interest is assessed. Such interest and late charges are separate and cumulative, and are in addition to, and do not diminish or represent a substitute for, any of Landlord’s rights or remedies under any other provision of this Lease. Section 15.5 Other Rights of Landlord. For avoidance of doubt, if Tenant fails to pay any Additional Rent when due, Landlord, in addition to any other right or remedy, shall have the same rights and remedies as in the case of a default by Tenant in the payment of Fixed Rent. Tenant waives Tenant’s right, if any, to designate the items against which any payments made by Tenant are to be credited, and Landlord may apply any payments made by Tenant to any items of Rent due under the Lease Landlord sees fit, regardless of any request by Tenant. ARTICLE 16 LANDLORD’S RIGHT TO CURE; FEES AND EXPENSES Section 16.1 If Tenant defaults in the performance of its obligations under this Lease, Landlord, without waiving such default, may perform such obligations at Tenant’s expense (a) immediately, and without notice, in the case of emergency (which could cause injury to a person or damage to property), in the case that Tenant fails to maintain insurance as required under this Lease, or in the case that the default materially and adversely interferes with the use by any other tenant of the Building, materially and adversely interferes with the efficient operation of the Building, results in a violation of any Requirement, and/or results or may result in a cancellation of any insurance policy maintained by Landlord; and (b) in any other case, if such default continues for more than ten (10) days after the date Landlord gives notice of Landlord’s intention to perform the defaulted obligation. All reasonable and actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Landlord as a result of any default by Tenant under this Lease or in connection with any such performance by Landlord in accordance with the previous sentence, and all reasonable actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees and disbursements, incurred by Landlord in any action or proceeding (including any unlawful detainer proceeding) brought by Landlord or in which Landlord is a party to enforce any obligation of Tenant under this Lease and/or any right of Landlord in or to the Premises, shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord within thirty (30) days of demand, with interest thereon at the Interest Rate from the date incurred by Landlord. Except as expressly provided to the contrary in this Lease, all costs and expenses that are incurred by Landlord and payable by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease, and all charges, amounts and sums payable to Landlord by Tenant for any property, material, labor, utility or other services that pursuant to this Lease or at the request and for the account of Tenant, are provided, furnished or rendered by Landlord, shall become due and payable by Tenant to Landlord within thirty (30) days after receipt of Landlord’s invoice for such amount. Section 16.2 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, there shall be no personal liability imposed on any shareholder, member or other holder of any equity interest in Tenant or any officer, director or employee thereof pursuant to this Lease , except to the extent that such person or entity becomes Tenant hereunder or a guarantor of Tenant’s obligations hereunder.

58 Section 16.3 Landlord and Tenant agree that in the event of any action or proceeding between Landlord and Tenant with respect to this Lease the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the other party the prevailing party’s reasonable attorneys’ fees with respect to such action or proceeding. ARTICLE 17 NO REPRESENTATIONS BY LANDLORD; LANDLORD’S APPROVAL Section 17.1 No Representations. Except as expressly set forth herein, (a) Landlord and Landlord’s agents have made no warranties, representations, statements or promises with respect to the Building, the Real Property or the Premises and (b) no rights, easements or licenses are acquired by Tenant by implication or otherwise. Tenant is entering into this Lease after full investigation and is not relying upon any statement or representation made by Landlord not embodied in this Lease. Section 17.2 No Money Damages. Wherever in this Lease, Landlord’s consent or approval is required, if Landlord refuses to grant such consent or approval, whether or not Landlord expressly agreed that such consent or approval would not be unreasonably withheld, Tenant shall not make or exercise, and Tenant hereby waives, any claim for money damages (including any claim by way of setoff, counterclaim or defense) and/or any right to terminate this Lease based on Tenant’s claim or assertion that Landlord unreasonably withheld or delayed its consent or approval (except in the case of Landlord’s bad faith). Tenant’s sole remedy in such event shall be an action or proceeding to enforce such provision, by specific performance, injunction or declaratory judgment without being required to post a bond or post any other security. In no event shall Landlord be liable for, and Tenant, on behalf of itself and all other Tenant Parties, hereby waives any claim for, any indirect, consequential or punitive damages, including loss of profits or business opportunity, arising under or in connection with this Lease (except any actions taken by Landlord in bad faith). In no event shall Tenant be liable for, and Landlord, on behalf of itself and all other Landlord Parties, hereby waives any claim for, any indirect, consequential or punitive damages, including loss of profits or business opportunity, arising under or in connection with this Lease (except pursuant to Section 18.2 hereof). ARTICLE 18 END OF TERM Section 18.1 Expiration. Upon the expiration or other termination of this Lease, Tenant shall quit and surrender the Premises to Landlord vacant, broom clean and in good order and condition, ordinary wear and tear and damage for which Tenant is not responsible under the terms of this Lease excepted, and Tenant shall remove all of Tenant’s Property and Tenant’s Specialty Alterations as may be required pursuant to Article 5. Section 18.2 Holdover Rent. Landlord and Tenant recognize that Landlord’s damages resulting from Tenant’s failure to timely surrender possession of the Premises may be substantial, may exceed the amount of the Rent payable hereunder, and will be impossible to accurately DocuSign Envelope ID: 9A9C9B12-A895-460A-B922-02EA96CBF419888 F039-07D3 96C 95C7 5 F6CAE9878F


 
59 measure. Accordingly, if possession of the Premises is not surrendered to Landlord on the Expiration Date or sooner termination of this Lease, in addition to any other rights or remedies Landlord may have hereunder, at law or equity or under Requirements, Tenant shall (a) pay to Landlord for each month (or any portion thereof) during which Tenant holds over in the Premises after the Expiration Date or sooner termination of this Lease, a sum equal to the following: (x) for the initial sixty (60) days following the Expiration Date, 1.5 times the Rent payable under this Lease for the last full calendar month of the Term, and (y) for any such holdover period beyond the initial sixty (60) days following the Expiration Date, the greater of (i) 2.0 times the Rent payable under this Lease for the last full calendar month of the Term, and (ii) 2.0 times the rent per month Landlord is then asking for comparable space in the Building (or if no comparable space is then available in the Building, the fair market rental value of the Premises for such month, as reasonably determined by Landlord); (b) be liable to Landlord, provided Tenant shall not so surrender the Premises within sixty (60) days following the Expiration Date, for (i) any payment or rent concession which Landlord may be required to make to any tenant obtained by Landlord for all or any part of the Premises (a “New Tenant”) in order to induce such New Tenant not to terminate its lease by reason of the holding-over by Tenant (provided Landlord shall provide evidence that same was so required by the New Tenant because of such holdover), and (ii) the loss of the benefit of the bargain if any New Tenant shall terminate its lease by reason of the holding-over by Tenant; and (c) provided Tenant shall not so surrender the Premises within sixty (60) days following the Expiration Date, indemnify Landlord against all claims for damages by any New Tenant. No holding-over by Tenant, nor the payment to Landlord of the amounts specified above, shall operate to extend the Term hereof. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to permit Tenant to retain possession of the Premises after the Expiration Date or sooner termination of this Lease, and no acceptance by Landlord of payments from Tenant after the Expiration Date or sooner termination of this Lease shall be deemed to be other than on account of the amount to be paid by Tenant in accordance with the provisions of this Section 18.2. Section 18.3 Waiver of Stay. Tenant expressly waives, for itself and for any Person claiming through or under Tenant, any rights which 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 Requirement of like import then in force, in connection with any holdover summary proceedings which Landlord may institute to enforce the foregoing provisions of this Article 18. ARTICLE 19 QUIET ENJOYMENT Provided this Lease is in full force and effect and no Event of Default then exists, Tenant may peaceably and quietly enjoy the Premises without hindrance by Landlord or any Person lawfully claiming through or under Landlord, subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease and to all Superior Leases, Mortgages and encumbrances.

60 ARTICLE 20 NO SURRENDER; NO WAIVER Section 20.1 No Surrender or Release. No act or thing done by Landlord or Landlord’s agents or employees during the Term shall be deemed an acceptance of a surrender of the Premises, and no provision of this Lease shall be deemed to have been waived by Landlord, unless such waiver is in writing and is signed by Landlord. No provision of this Lease shall be deemed to have been waived by Tenant, unless such waiver is in writing and is signed by Tenant. Section 20.2 No Waiver. The failure of either party to seek redress for violation of, or to insist upon the strict performance of, any covenant or condition of this Lease, or any of the Rules and Regulations, shall not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment for the future performance of such obligations of this Lease or the Rules and Regulations, or of the right to exercise such election; but such covenant, condition, rule, regulation and/or right shall continue and remain in full force and effect with respect to any subsequent breach, act or omission. The receipt by Landlord of any Rent payable pursuant to this Lease or any other sums with knowledge of the breach of any covenant of this Lease shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach. No payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount than the monthly (or other) Rent herein stipulated shall be deemed to be other than a payment on account of the earliest stipulated Rent, or as Landlord may elect to apply such payment. No endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment as Rent shall be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the balance of such Rent or pursue any other remedy provided in this Lease. ARTICLE 21 WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY; COUNTERCLAIM Section 21.1 Jury Trial Waiver. LANDLORD AND TENANT EACH HEREBY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM BROUGHT BY EITHER PARTY AGAINST THE OTHER ON ANY MATTERS IN ANY WAY ARISING OUT OF OR CONNECTED WITH THIS LEASE, THE RELATIONSHIP OF LANDLORD AND TENANT, THE USE OR OCCUPANCY OF THE PREMISES BY TENANT OR ANYONE CLAIMING THROUGH OR UNDER TENANT, OR THE ENFORCEMENT OF ANY REMEDY UNDER ANY STATUTE, EMERGENCY OR OTHERWISE. THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 21.1 SHALL SURVIVE THE EXPIRATION OR SOONER TERMINATION OF THE TERM. Section 21.2 Waiver of Counterclaim. If Landlord commences any summary proceeding against Tenant, or any proceeding of like import, Tenant will not interpose any counterclaim of any nature or description in any such proceeding (unless failure to interpose such counterclaim would preclude Tenant from asserting in a separate action the claim which is the subject of such counterclaim), and will not seek to consolidate such proceeding with any other action which may have been or will be brought in any other court by Tenant.

61 ARTICLE 22 NOTICES Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Lease, all consents, notices, notifications, demands, requests, approvals or other communications required or permitted to be given under this Lease (“Notices”) shall be in writing and shall be deemed sufficiently given or rendered (i) if delivered by hand (provided a signed receipt is obtained); (ii) if sent by registered or certified mail (return receipt requested); or (iii) if sent by a nationally recognized overnight delivery service for next-business-day delivery, in each case addressed to Landlord and Tenant (and with copies) as set forth in Article 1, and (if sent to Landlord) also to any Mortgagee or Superior Lessor who requires copies of notices and whose address is provided to Tenant at the address so provided, or to such other addresses as Landlord, Tenant or any Mortgagee or Superior Lessor may designate as its new addresses for such purpose by notice given in accordance with the provisions of this Article 22.

The arbitrator shall conduct such hearings and investigations as he or she deems appropriate and shall, within thirty (30) days after being appointed, select which of the two (2) proposed determinations (Landlord’s Determination or Tenant’s Determination) most closely approximates his or her determination of Renewal Rent and the determination that is closest to his or her determination shall be deemed the Renewal Rent for all purposes hereunder. The arbitrator shall have no right to propose a middle ground or any modification of either of the two (2) proposed determinations (i.e., Landlord's Determination and Tenant's Determination).

Costs of the arbitrator shall be shared equally by Landlord and Tenant (but each side shall be responsible to pay for its own attorneys, witnesses and experts). For the avoidance of doubt, the arbitrator's final determination shall be either Landlord's Determination or Tenant's Determination.

6. Tenant shall pay Landlord at the time of reservation a deposit in an amount equal to 4 times the hourly Roof Deck Fee, which amount shall be credited against the actual Roof Deck Fee payable by Tenant. Such deposit shall be refundable up until 48 hours prior to the time reserved for the event, and non-refundable thereafter. 7. As of the Effective Date, the hourly Roof Deck Fee is $200, which fee is subject to increase from time to time to cover Landlord’s actual out-of-pocket costs as reasonably determined by Landlord.

In addition, if in Landlord’s reasonable opinion, more than one (1) security personnel is needed, then Landlord will provide such additional personnel and charge Tenant an additional fee therefor at the rate of $75 per hour (such amount to be increased from time to time in the same manner as the hourly Roof Deck Fee). The Roof Deck Fee and any other amount due by Tenant to Landlord as set forth on these rules and regulations are Additional Rent, and except as otherwise expressly provided, shall be due and payable within 30 Business Days after receipt from Landlord of an invoice therefor. 8.
