ARTICLE 5

IMPOSITIONS

Section 5.1. Payment of Impositions. From and after the Effective Date, Tenant shall pay as Additional Rent during the Term, before any fine, penalty, interest or cost may be added thereto or become due or be imposed by operation of law for the non-payment thereof, all Impositions. All Impositions provided herein to be paid by Tenant, which have accrued or are prepaid at the commencement of the Term hereof, or which have accrued or are prepaid at the expiration or prior termination of the term hereof, shall be apportioned between Landlord and Tenant (provided that in the event a Default exists under Section 17.1(a) hereof, Landlord shall be entitled to offset the amount of such Default (together with interest at the Interest Rate) against the amount payable to Tenant hereunder). Tenant paid to Landlord any such apportionment owed to Landlord within thirty (30) days of the Triple Net Commencement Date and Landlord shall pay to Tenant any such apportionment owed to Tenant within thirty (30) days of the Expiration Date.

Section 5.2. Receipts. Tenant shall furnish to Landlord within thirty (30) days after the last date when any Imposition or any installment thereof is payable without penalty,

official receipts of the appropriate taxing authority, or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, evidencing payment thereof.

Section 5.3. Contests.

(a) Tenant shall have the right to contest the validity, in whole or in part, of any Imposition by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted in good faith but only after payment of such Imposition unless such payment would operate as a bar to such contest or interfere materially with the prosecution thereof, in which event Tenant may postpone or defer payment of such Imposition during the pendency of such proceedings if:

(i) neither the Demised Premises nor any part thereof would, by reason of such postponement or deferment, be in danger of being sold, forfeited or lost; and

(ii) if Tenant is not an Investment Grade Entity, Tenant shall have deposited with Landlord 100% the amount so contested and unpaid, together with all interest and penalties in connection therewith and all charges that may or might be assessed against or become a charge on the Demised Premises or any part thereof in such proceedings, and shall have furnished to Landlord additional security reasonably satisfactory to Landlord sufficient to cover such amount, together with interest, penalties and charges for the period which such proceedings may reasonably be expected to take.

Landlord shall hold all funds deposited by Tenant pursuant to the preceding sentence in an interest bearing account in a New York Clearing House member bank, and the interest thereon shall be credited to Tenant (Tenant to pay all taxes on such interest). Upon the termination of any such proceedings, Tenant shall pay, or may direct Landlord to pay out of such deposit, the amount of such Imposition or part thereof as finally determined in such proceedings, the payment of which may have been deferred during the prosecution of such proceedings, together with any costs, fees, interest, penalties or other liabilities accrued in connection therewith, and, upon such payment, Landlord shall return to Tenant, with interest, the balance of the amount, if any, deposited with Landlord with respect to such Imposition. If, at any time during the continuance of such proceedings, Landlord shall reasonably deem the amount deposited insufficient, Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days after written demand therefor, make an additional deposit of such sum as Landlord reasonably may request, and upon failure of Tenant so to do, Landlord in addition to any other remedy it may have, may apply the amount theretofore deposited to the payment, removal and discharge of such Imposition, and the interest and penalties in connection therewith and any costs, fees or other liability accruing in any such proceedings, and the balance, if any, shall be returned to Tenant.

(b) Landlord shall have the right, at Landlord's election, to participate in any such proceedings brought by Tenant pursuant to Section 5.3(a) hereof during the last five (5) tax years during the Term hereof. Landlord has provided all information and transferred to Tenant all responsibility with respect to the tax certiorari proceedings with respect to the Original Premises which was brought by Landlord for the tax year commencing on July 1, 2001, and ending on June 30, 2002. Tenant has employed counsel reasonably acceptable to Landlord to consummate such proceedings. Landlord terminated the portion of the existing agreement

between Landlord and Deloitte & Touche which related to the 2001-2002 tax certiorari proceedings with respect to the Building and Land. In the event that Tenant elects not to bring any such proceedings for any tax year during the Term hereof, Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to bring such proceedings. The reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with any such proceedings shall be allocated between Landlord and Tenant in proportion to the respective amounts of square footage of the Demised Premises involved in such proceedings and square footage of the balance of the Building involved in such proceedings. Any "net tax refund" (as hereafter defined) payable as a result of any proceedings to review such assessed valuations shall be paid and belong to Tenant (provided that in the event a Default exists under Section 17.1(a) hereof, Landlord shall be entitled to offset the amount of such Default (together with interest at the Interest Rate) against the amount payable to Tenant hereunder) except that any net tax refund payable as a result of any proceeding with respect to the 2001-2002 tax year and the tax year in which this Lease terminates shall be apportioned between Landlord and Tenant. For purposes of this Section, the term "net tax refund" shall mean the tax refund actually received by Tenant in contesting the assessed valuation of the Demised Premises (or the Original Premises, as applicable) less the expenses incurred by Tenant and Landlord in connection with such proceeding. Tenant shall have the right to seek and receive any refund of any tax on its leasehold estate paid by it.

(c) Tenant acknowledges that Landlord entered into a certain Tax Agreement with the City of New York (the "Tax Agreement") pertaining to the Building, a copy of which is attached hereto as Schedule C. Tenant hereby consents to the provisions of the Tax Agreement and agrees that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.3, Tenant shall comply with the provisions of Paragraphs 5, 6, 7 and 12 of the Tax Agreement.

(d) Tenant agrees to indemnify and save harmless Landlord against and from all liabilities, obligations, damages, penalties, claims, costs, charges and expenses incurred by or asserted against Landlord under Paragraph 6 of the Tax Agreement as a result of any claims and demands made by Tenant or any tenant, subtenant or occupant of the Demised Premises, or any portion thereof, that the Aggregate Value (as defined in the Tax Agreement) or the apportionment of the Aggregate Value should be by a methodology or apportionment of Aggregate Value other than that set forth in the Tax Agreement.

Section 5.4. ICIP Benefits.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 5.3, Tenant shall have no right to file, or to require Landlord to file, a tax protest or commence or prosecute any reduction or other similar proceeding if such protest or proceeding would have any adverse effect on the ICIP Benefits (including the computation thereof), other than the reduction in ICIP Benefits which would consequently result from a reduction in Impositions.

(b) Landlord represents that it has applied for the Real Property Tax Exemption and Deferral created by Title U, Chapter 2, Part 3 of the Administrative Code of the City of New York for an abatement, deferral or reduction of the real estate taxes for the Improvements for a period of time. Landlord represents and warrants that attached hereto as Schedule M-l is a true and complete copy of the referenced preliminary application. Landlord, at its expense, agrees that it shall timely comply with the provisions of Executive Order Nos.

50(1980) and 108 (1986) and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, as the same may be amended, modified and supplemented and the requirements imposed by the New York City Industrial Commercial Incentive Program and the regulations promulgated thereunder, as the same may be amended, modified or supplemented and all other applicable rules and regulations of Public Authorities (the "ICIP Law") to ensure that it remains an eligible Recipient (as such term is defined under the ICIP Law) of the benefits under the ICIP Law. Landlord shall take all actions and submit all reports, annual filings of certificates of continuing use and records to the Department of Finance, the Divisions of Labor Services and all other Public Authorities involved in the administration of the ICIP Law and shall maintain all records and reports required to evidence such compliance.

(c) Tenant covenants that it has applied for the Real Property Tax Exemption and Deferral created by Title U, Chapter 2, Part 3 of the Administrative Code of the City of New York for an abatement, deferral or reduction of the real estate taxes for the Improvements for a period of time. Tenant represents and warrants that attached hereto as Schedule M-2 is a true and complete copy of the referenced preliminary application. Tenant, at its expense, agrees that it shall timely comply with the ICIP Law to ensure that it remains an eligible Recipient (as such term is defined under the ICIP Law) of the benefits under the ICIP Law. Tenant shall take all actions and submit all reports, annual filings of certificates of continuing use and records to the Department of Finance, the Divisions of Labor Services and all other Public Authorities involved in the administration of the ICIP Law and shall maintain all records and reports required to evidence such compliance.

(d) Landlord and Tenant shall each (both for its own benefit and the benefit of the other party): (I) supply information and comply with such reporting requirements as are necessary to comply with and/or obtain the benefits of the ICIP Law and (II) submit all reports, annual filings of certificates of continuing use and records to the Department of Finance, the Division of Labor Services and all other Public Authorities involved in the administration of the ICIP Law and (III) maintain all records and reports required to evidence such compliance, except that no such cooperation with the other party shall require either party to reveal proprietary business information unrelated to the matters below or to materially modify or restrict its hiring practices or operations in conducting its business in (as opposed to the construction of) the Landlord Space or the Demised Premises, as applicable, and each party shall:

(i) provide access to the Landlord Space or the Demised Premises, as applicable, by employees and agents of the Department of Finance of the City of New York or any successor agency at all reasonable times and upon reasonable prior notice at the request of the other party;

(ii) report to the other party upon request the number of workers permanently engaged in employment in the Landlord Space or the Demised Premises, as applicable, the nature of each worker's employment and the residency of each worker; and

(iii) provide any other access, records or information (other than proprietary business information) which may be reasonably required by the other party in connection with such party's compliance with the ICIP Law.

(e) Neither party shall be required (I) to pay Impositions which become due because of the failure by the other party to comply with the ICIP Law, or (II) otherwise relieve or indemnify the other party from any personal liability arising under the ICIP Law, except where imposition of such Impositions or liability is occasioned by actions or non-actions of such party. Landlord and Tenant shall indemnify each other for any liability incurred by each as a result of the other's failure to comply with the ICIP Law.

(f) Each party agrees, at no cost or exposure to itself, to reasonably cooperate with the other party in order to enable the other party to realize the maximum benefits available to the other party with respect to any work or Alterations made by the other party under the ICIP Law or other similar incentive program, provided such benefits do not adversely affect the value of the Landlord Space or the Demised Premises, as applicable.

Section 5.5. Joinder of Landlord. Landlord shall not be required to join in any proceedings referred to in Section 5.3(a) hereof unless the provisions of any Legal Requirement at the time in effect shall require that such proceedings be brought by or in the name of Landlord or any owner of the Demised Premises, in which event Landlord shall join in such proceedings, or permit the same to be brought in its name. Landlord shall not be subjected to any liability for the payment of any costs or expenses in connection with any such proceedings, and Tenant will indemnify and save harmless Landlord from any such costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses incurred by Landlord). Except as otherwise provided in Section 5.3(b) hereof, Tenant shall be entitled to any refund of any Imposition and penalties or interest thereon received by Landlord, which have been paid by Tenant and Landlord agrees to pay or assign the same to Tenant.

Section 5.6. Evidence of Non-Payment. The certificate, advice, notice or bill of the appropriate official designated by law to make or issue the same, or to receive payment of any Imposition, of non-payment of such Imposition shall be prima facie evidence that such Imposition is due and unpaid at the time of the making or issuance of such certificate, advice, notice or bill.

Section 5.7. Tax Deposits. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article 5, if at any time any Material Monetary Default shall have occurred, Landlord may at any time thereafter give a notice to Tenant referring to this Section 5.7 and, if such notice shall be given, Tenant shall be obligated from and after the date which is ten (10) days after receipt of such notice to pay to Landlord in equal monthly installments, on the first day of each month during the balance of the Term and any extended term of this Lease, an amount equal to one-twelfth of the annual Impositions for each fiscal tax year (collectively, "Tax Deposits"); provided, however, that in the event no Material Monetary Default shall occur for a period of two years from any Material Monetary Default which gives rise to Tenant's obligation to make Tax Deposits, Tenant's obligation to make such Tax Deposits shall cease until a subsequent Material Monetary Default may thereafter occur. Tax Deposits shall in the first instance be based on the Impositions for the prior fiscal tax year, and when such Impositions shall be ascertained for the current tax year, appropriate adjustments shall be made. Landlord shall keep all Tax Deposits in an interest bearing account in a New York Clearing House member bank, and the interest thereon shall be credited to Tenant (Tenant to pay all taxes on such interest). Landlord shall apply Tax Deposits to the payment of the annual Impositions as same become due and payable. From time to time upon notice to Tenant by Landlord, Tax Deposits shall be increased to such amounts as

may be necessary to provide a fund sufficient to meet the payment of the annual Impositions (or any installment thereof) as and when due and payable, whether on the present dates of payment or on such other dates as may be fixed by Legal Requirements.

Tenant acknowledges that Tenant is aware that the Tower has been designated as a landmark by federal, state and municipal Public Authorities and agrees to comply with all Legal Requirements pertaining thereto as such affect the portion of the Demised Premises located in the Tower. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Tenant shall comply with all requirements of the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990, as amended (the "ADA"), and the Resource Conservation Recovery Act, 42 U.S.C. §§6901 et seq., as amended, and shall not use or occupy or permit the Demised Premises to be used or occupied, nor do, or permit anything to be done, in, on or about the Demised Premises, in whole or in part, in a manner which would in any way make void or voidable any insurance then in force with respect thereto, or make it impossible to obtain fire or other insurance thereon required to be furnished by Tenant, or which will cause or be apt to cause structural injury to the Demised Premises or any part thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Landlord or any tenant of the Landlord Space (other than Tenant) performs any work or Landlord Alterations anywhere in the Landlord Space and, as a result thereof, Tenant would be required to perform ADA work or Tenant Alterations in the Demised Premises, then Tenant shall perform such work at Landlord's sole cost and expense.

Any Landlord Alterations required to be performed by Landlord to the Landlord Space for the purpose of complying with the ADA, as aforesaid, or which otherwise require compliance with the ADA, shall be done in accordance with the terms, provisions, agreements, covenants and conditions of this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Tenant has performed any work or Tenant Alterations anywhere in the Demised Premises (to prepare the same for Tenant's use or occupancy as opposed to performing Tenant's obligations under this Lease) and, as a result thereof, Landlord would be required under any Legal Requirement to perform Landlord Alterations in the Landlord Space (each, a "Tenant-Triggered Alteration"), then Landlord shall perform such Tenant-Triggered Alteration at Tenant's sole cost and expense (which shall be reimbursed to Landlord within thirty (30) days after written demand thereof).

(d) Tenant shall comply with (i) all ADA requirements which are not the obligation of the Landlord pursuant to Section 6.4(c) and (ii) all other Legal Requirements affecting the Building, which are not the responsibility of Landlord under Section 6.4(b).

Landlord and/or IDA shall be deemed subject to prosecution for a crime if

Landlord, IDA, any Fee Mortgagee or any of their officers, directors, partners, shareholders, agents or employees is, or can be, charged with a crime of any kind whatever.

(b) "adjusted by CPI" shall mean that the amount in question shall be adjusted on each anniversary of the date of the Original Lease by adding to the amount in question (as of the date the Original Lease was executed but not as theretofore increased) an amount equal to the product of (i) such amount and (ii) the percentage of increase, if any, in the Consumer Price Index for the month in which the applicable anniversary occurs over the Consumer Price Index for the month in which the Original Lease shall have been executed. "Consumer Price Index" shall mean the Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the United States Department of Labor, New York, New York-Northeastern New Jersey Area (1982-84 = 100), or any successor indexed thereto. In the event that the Consumer Price Index is converted to a different standard reference base or otherwise shall be made with the use of such other conversion factor, formula or table for converting the Consumer Price Index as may be published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics or, if said Bureau shall not publish the same, then with the use of other such conversion factor, formula or table as may be published by Prentice-Hall, Inc., or any other nationally recognized publisher of similar statistical information, provided that if there shall be no successor index and the parties shall be unable to agree on a substitute index within thirty (30) days, or if the parties shall fail to agree on the appropriate adjustment of such successor or substitute index within thirty (30) days, a substitute index or the appropriate adjustment of a successor or substitute index, as the case may be, shall be determined by arbitration pursuant to Article 21.

(c) Landlord, at its expense, after written notice to Tenant, may contest, by appropriate proceedings prosecuted diligently and in good faith, the validity or applicability of any Legal Requirement as to which Landlord has the obligation to comply pursuant to Section 6.4; provided such is done in accordance with Section 6.5 as if Landlord were Tenant and Tenant were Landlord.

Section 6.6. Bridge and Tunnel. Landlord shall, at Landlord's expense, take all reasonable actions to obtain the consent of the City of New York to the use by Tenant of the Bridge and Tunnel or to assign to Tenant the Revocable Consent Agreement granted by the City of New York for use of the Tunnel (the "Tunnel Agreement") and the Revocable Consent Agreement granted by the City of New York for use of the Bridge (the "Bridge Agreement") if assignment thereof is necessary for Tenant's use of the Tunnel and Bridge.

If the Tunnel Agreement and the Bridge Agreement are not assigned to Tenant, Landlord shall, at Tenant's expense, keep the Tunnel Agreement and Bridge Agreement in full force and effect during the Term. Each of Landlord and Tenant agrees not to take any action to terminate or revoke the Tunnel Agreement or the Bridge Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party.

Section 6.7. Subway Entrance Agreement. Landlord agrees that the failure by Tenant to comply with the provisions of the agreement between Landlord and Metropolitan Transportation Authority solely with respect to providing access to the public from the Subway

Entrance directly into the Building shall not be deemed to be a default by Tenant under this Lease.

Section 6.8. For purposes of this Article 6, references to Tenant shall mean Tenant, and its permitted subtenants, and all permitted occupants of the Demised Premises claiming under or through Tenant.

Section 6.9. Landlord Agreement. Landlord agrees that the Landlord Space shall be occupied in accordance with Sections 6.1, 6.2, 6.3 and 6.8, including, without limitation, the rentable areas of the Tower located on the lobby level and/or the second (2^nd) floor and/or the portion of the concourse level B-2 included in the Landlord Space (which areas represent the portion of the Landlord Space that may be used as retail space under the certificate of occupancy for the Building) as if Landlord were Tenant and Tenant were Landlord.

If Landlord shall receive such Casualty Proceeds, it shall upon the request of Tenant deliver to Tenant a certificate stating that such Casualty Proceeds have been deposited with Landlord pursuant to the requirements of this Lease.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at the time of a casualty resulting in the payment of Casualty Proceeds to Landlord (rather than the Fee Mortgagee) under Section 7.10(a), (i) MetLife is no longer Landlord, and (ii) Landlord is not an Investment Grade Entity, then the Casualty Proceeds shall be paid to a depository selected by Tenant and reasonably acceptable to Landlord, which depository shall be a bank or trust company having an office in the Borough of Manhattan and a combined shareholders equity of at least $200 million (the "Depository"). The Depository shall hold and pay out the amount of such Casualty Proceeds so paid to it to the extent and in the manner set forth in Section 8.5 hereof.

(c) The proceeds of insurance provided for in Section 7.l(a)(iv) shall be paid by the insurer to Landlord and, when received by Landlord, the net amount thereof (less the cost of collecting such proceeds including reasonable attorneys' fees) shall be applied against the Minimum Rent and Additional Rent then due and thereafter becoming due.

(d) Landlord agrees to cause each Fee Mortgagee to agree in writing to make Casualty Proceeds available to Tenant for Restoration in accordance with the provisions of this Lease.

Section 7.11. Intentionally omitted.

Section 7.12. Landlord shall not do or suffer or permit anything to be done on its behalf in or about the Landlord Space or the Building which would (i) cause insurance companies of good standing to refuse to insure the Building in amounts reasonably satisfactory to Tenant, (ii) result in the cancellation of any policy of insurance or the assertion of any defense by the insurer to any claim under any policy of insurance maintained by or for the benefit of Tenant, or (iii) violate any Insurance Requirement of which Landlord has been given notice.

Section 7.13. If, as a result of any use, act or omission (in violation of Landlord's obligations under this Lease or which arc violative of Legal Requirements or Insurance Requirements for which Landlord is obligated to comply with) by Landlord, the rate of fire insurance applicable to the Building shall be increased to an amount higher than it otherwise would be, Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for all increases of Tenant's fire insurance premiums so caused within thirty (30) days after demand by Tenant. In any action or proceeding concerning the rate of fire insurance applicable to the Building wherein Tenant and Landlord are parties, a schedule or "make-up" of rates for the Building issued by the body making fire insurance rates for the Building or by the insurance carrier issuing the fire insurance on the Building shall be presumptive evidence of the facts therein stated and of the several items and charges in the fire insurance rate then applicable to the Building.

Section 7.14. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, Landlord shall, so long as Landlord is MetLife, be entitled to self-insure and/or have deductibles against all risks described in this Article. Landlord shall notify Tenant of its election to self-insure as aforesaid and the extent (as to coverage and limits of coverage of any such self-insurance), and Landlord's failure in part or whole to carry any of the insurance required by this Article on account of such self-insurance shall not constitute a breach of this Article, but shall be deemed to be self-insurance by Landlord, as permitted by this Article to the extent of such noncompliance.

Section 7.15. Each of Tenant and Landlord shall be responsible for its own deductibles and self-insurance retention and such costs shall not be the responsibility or liability of the other party.

Section 7.16. Should Landlord engage a contractor or consultant to do work in or on any portion of the Building, Landlord shall require such parties to obtain (and name Tenant as an additional insured on) such insurance policies as would customarily be required for such

parties doing work in a First-Class Office Building. Upon Tenant's request, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant certificates of the foregoing insurance.

ARTICLE 8

DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION

Section 8.1. Tenant's Obligation to Restore. Subject to Sections 8.3 and 8.4, if, at any time during the Term of this Lease, the Building or any part thereof shall be damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty (including any casualty for which insurance coverage was not obtained or obtainable) of any kind or nature, ordinary or extraordinary, foreseen or unforeseen, Tenant shall promptly give Landlord notice of the same and, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, and whether or not the Casualty Proceeds, if any, shall be sufficient for the purpose, shall within ninety (90) days of the date of such damage or destruction commence (subject to a reasonable time allowance for Unavoidable Delays and the time required to adjust insurance claims with the insurance companies, provided that Tenant is diligently pursuing the adjustment of such insurance claims) to repair, restore, replace or rebuild the same as nearly as possible to its value, condition and character immediately prior to such damage or destruction, subject to such changes or alterations as Tenant may elect to make in conformity with the provisions of Article 9 (such repair, alteration, restoration, replacement or rebuilding, including temporary repairs for the protection of the Improvements or other property pending the completion thereof, are sometimes referred to in this Article 8 as "Restoration") and shall prosecute such Restoration to completion with diligence and continuity.

Section 8.2. Notice by Landlord. Landlord shall give Tenant prompt notice in case of a fire or accident in the Landlord Space as well as notice of any other event occurring in the Landlord Space which could give rise to a damage or injury claim against Tenant or Landlord promptly after Landlord is aware of such fire, accident or other event.

Section 8.3. Termination by Tenant.

(a) If the Building is so damaged or destroyed that fifty percent (50%) or more of the useable area thereof cannot, with the exercise by Tenant of all due diligence (giving due consideration to the then applicable Legal Requirements and taking into account any transfers by Landlord pursuant to Section 27.19 and subject to such waivers and variances as may reasonably expected to be given), be rendered tenantable and fit for the normal conduct of business not later than four (4) years prior to the Expiration Date, then (subject to the further provisions of this Section 8.3) Tenant may, by notice (the "Damage Termination Notice") to Landlord given within the ninety (90) day period (the "Election Period") following the date (the "Damage Date") of damage or destruction, elect to terminate this Lease as of a date specified in the Damage Termination Notice (the "Specified Damage Termination Date"). If Tenant shall timely give the Damage Termination Notice, this Lease shall terminate on the Specified Damage Termination Date; provided, however, that if on or prior to the date which is ninety (90) days after Landlord receives the Damage Termination Notice Landlord shall by notice to Tenant dispute Tenant's right to terminate this Lease pursuant this Section 8.3(a), the matter shall be determined by the Construction Manager and (i) if the Construction Manager's

determination is in Landlord's favor, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect or (ii) if the Construction Manager's determination is in Tenant's favor, this Lease shall terminate effective as of the Specified Damage Termination Date. Any such determination by the Construction Manager shall not assume the use by Tenant of overtime labor, unless otherwise agreed by Tenant. At any time upon the request of Landlord or Tenant, the Construction Manager shall make a determination as to whether Tenant has the right to terminate this Lease pursuant to this Section 8.3(a).

(b) At all times prior to the giving of the Damage Termination Notice, Tenant shall prosecute the Restoration with all due diligence and in accordance with the Plans and Specifications therefor (as reasonably approved by Landlord or as determined by the Construction Manager to have been required to be approved by Landlord pursuant to this Lease) subject to a reasonable time allowance for Unavoidable Delays and the time required to adjust insurance claims with the insurance companies, provided that Tenant is diligently pursuing the adjustment of such insurance claims;

(c) Simultaneously with the giving of the Damage Termination Notice Tenant shall (i) assign to Landlord (by instruments reasonably satisfactory to Landlord) all of Tenant's right, title and interest in and to the plans and specifications (if any) for the Restoration and in and to that portion (if any) of the Casualty Proceeds which has not yet been received by Tenant from the insurer; and (ii) pay to Landlord, in immediately available funds, an amount (the "Damage Payment") equal to the greater of (x) the excess, if any, of the amount of Casualty Proceeds received by Tenant on or before such date over the amount of Casualty Proceeds theretofore expended by Tenant in connection with the Restoration, and (y) if the insurance policy maintained by Tenant under Section 7.1(a)(ii) was for less than the full replacement cost of the Improvements most recently determined pursuant to said Section, the amount reasonably estimated to be necessary to complete the Restoration. Any disputes under this Section 8.3(c) shall be submitted to arbitration in accordance with Article 21 hereof.

(d) During the period commencing on the date of the Damage Termination Notice and ending on the Specified Damage Termination Date, Landlord shall have full control over the Restoration and may use the Damage Payment to defray the costs of the Restoration. Landlord and Tenant shall reasonably cooperate with one another to effectuate the Restoration in an efficient manner, and during the Restoration Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to minimize interference with Tenant's use of the undamaged portion (if any) of the Demised Premises, Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any matter relating to or arising out of the Restoration unless due to Landlord's gross negligence or willful misfeasance; provided, however, that Landlord shall retain reputable contractors who carry reasonable and customary public liability insurance.

Section 8.4. Termination by Either Party. If more than fifty percent (50%) of the useable area of the Building shall be substantially damaged or destroyed by fire or other cause at any time during the last three (3) years of the then Term of this Lease then either Landlord or Tenant may cancel this Lease upon written notice to the other party hereto given within sixty (60) days after such damage or destruction; provided, that neither Landlord nor Tenant shall have the right to cancel this Lease if, prior to the end of such sixty (60) day period, Tenant shall have delivered to Landlord notice of its irrevocable election to thereafter extend this Lease pursuant to Article 29 hereof, in which event neither Landlord nor Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease other than on the basis set forth in Section 8.3 of this Lease.

Section 8.5. Distribution of Insurance Proceeds.

(a) All Casualty Proceeds paid to Landlord or the Fee Mortgagee on account of such damage or destruction under the policies of insurance provided for in Section 7.1(a), less the cost, if any, incurred in connection with the adjustment of the loss and the collection thereof, shall be paid by Landlord (if no Material Monetary Default then exists hereunder which is continuing), either to reimburse Tenant for expenditures made in connection with the Restoration or to pay contractors, subcontractors, materialmen, engineers, architects or other persons who have rendered services or furnished materials for such Restoration, and shall be paid out as hereinafter provided from time to time as such Restoration progresses, upon the written request of Tenant which shall be accompanied by the following:

(i) A certificate of the Construction Manager and also signed by Tenant dated not more than thirty (30) days prior to such request, setting forth in substance: (A) that the sum then requested to be withdrawn either has been paid by Tenant, or is justly due to contractors, subcontractors, materialmen, engineers, architects or other persons (whose names and addresses shall be stated) who have rendered or furnished materials in connection with the Restoration, and giving a brief description of such services and materials and the principal subdivisions or categories thereof and the several amounts so paid or due to each of such persons in respect thereof; and (B) that in the opinion of the persons signing such certificate, the balance of the Casualty Proceeds remaining on deposit with Landlord after withdrawal of the sum then requested to be withdrawn will be sufficient to pay in full for the completion of the Restoration; and

(ii) An affidavit sworn to by an executive officer of Tenant not more than thirty (30) days prior to such request setting forth in substance: (A) that all materials and all property constituting the Restoration described in such certificate and every part thereof, are free and clear of all Encumbrances, as hereinafter defined, except those created by Landlord and undetermined or inchoate liens or charges for indebtedness incidental to the Restoration and which have not at the time been filed pursuant to law, and except Encumbrances, if any, securing indebtedness due to persons (whose names and addresses and the several amounts due them shall be stated) specified in such certificate pursuant to the foregoing subparagraph (i), which Encumbrances will be discharged upon payment of such indebtedness; (B) that no part of the several amounts paid or due, as stated in the certificate, has been or is being made the basis of the withdrawal of any monies pursuant to this Section in any previous or then pending application, or has been paid out of the proceeds of insurance received by Tenant as provided in Section 7.10; and (C) that there is no default in the payment of the Rent or any part thereof payable by Tenant hereunder. For purposes hereof, the term "Encumbrance" means any and every security interest, charge, covenant, restriction, lien, mortgage, or other encumbrance of any kind whatsoever (other than a lease).

(iii) An official search or other evidence satisfactory to Landlord showing that there has not been filed with respect to the Building any mechanics' or other lien relating to the Restoration which has not been discharged of record or bonded or insured against, except such as will be discharged upon payment of the amount then requested.

(iv) A release and waiver by each contractor, subcontractor, materialman, engineer, architect or other person for or with respect to whom payment is requested of all claims and liens arising out of that portion of the Restoration for which payment has been received prior to the disbursement then being requested.

(b) Upon compliance with the foregoing provisions of this Section, Landlord shall, out of such Casualty Proceeds, on request of Tenant, pay or cause to be paid to Tenant the amount stated in such certificate (less retainage).

(c) Upon receipt by Landlord of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the character required by subparagraph (a) of this Section that the Restoration has been completed and paid for in full and that there are no liens of the character referred to therein, Landlord shall, out of such Casualty Proceeds, on request of Tenant, pay or cause to be paid any retainage held by Landlord to Tenant.

(d) If the Casualty Proceeds received by Landlord shall be insufficient to pay the entire cost of the Restoration as estimated in such certificate from time to time, at the request of Landlord, Tenant shall, with reasonable promptness, supply and pay over to Landlord the amount of any such deficiency before Landlord shall pay over to Tenant any part of such Casualty Proceeds. Landlord shall not be obligated to make any payment or contribution toward the cost of the Restoration.

(e) For purposes of this Lease the term "Construction Manager" shall mean (i) the party jointly selected by Landlord and Tenant from the following list: Tishman Realty & Construction, Bovis Lend Lease, StructureTone, Turner Construction Company, VVA Associates and Advocate Consultants, and (ii) such other independent construction management firm having at least 15 years' experience in First-Class Office Buildings as shall be designated by Landlord or Tenant and approved by the other party. In the event that Landlord and Tenant cannot agree on the designation of the Construction Manager within thirty (30) days after notice from one party to the other to such effect, such designation shall be made through arbitration in accordance with the procedures set forth in Article 21 hereof.

Section 8.6. Performance of Restoration. Except as otherwise provided in this Article 8, the conditions under which any Restoration is to be performed and the method of proceeding with and performing the same shall be governed by all of the provisions of Article 9 hereof. The cost of the Restoration shall include the reasonable fees of the Construction Manager for the purpose of examining and passing upon the plans and specifications and seeing that the Restoration conforms therewith.

Section 8.7. Termination of this Lease. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in the event of the termination of this Lease by reason of a Default by Tenant or otherwise, any insurance proceeds received by Landlord may be retained by Landlord, Tenant shall pay the Damage Payment to Landlord, and all proceeds of insurance receivable shall belong and be retained by Landlord without claim thereon by Tenant. Tenant's obligation to observe or perform each and every one of the provisions of this Section 8.7 shall survive the expiration or other termination of the Term.

Section 8.8. No Abatement. Subject to Section 8.3, Tenant's obligations to pay Rent and to perform and comply with all other covenants and agreements on the part of Tenant to be performed and complied with shall not be affected by any such destruction or damage of the Improvements by fire or otherwise. Landlord shall have no liability for loss, cost, expense, damage, or compensation whatsoever (including any claim for inconvenience, loss of business or annoyance) by reason of any Restoration of the Building or Tenant's delays in prosecuting such Restoration. This Lease shall be considered an "express agreement to the contrary" governing any case of damage to or destruction of the Improvements or any part thereof by fire or other casualty under Section 227 of the Real Property Law of the State of New York and any other law of like import now or hereafter in force and neither said Section 227 or any other law shall have any application in such case.

(iii) may make additions, alterations, improvements and replacements (other than Required Replacements) in and to and removals from the Demised Premises or any part thereof (collectively, "Voluntary Alterations"; Required Replacements, Structural Work and Voluntary Alterations being collectively called "Tenant Alterations"); and

(iv) Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, make all repairs (both structural and nonstructural) to (A) the Building (other than the Landlord Space); (B) the Building Systems and (C) all structural elements of the Landlord Space, unless, in each event, the need for such repairs arises from (1) violation by Landlord of Landlord's Repair Obligations, (2) Legal Requirements or Insurance Requirements with which Landlord is obligated to comply, (3) the willful misconduct or negligence (including negligent maintenance) of Landlord, its agents or contractors (and the employees of such agents and contractors), or (4) the items identified on Schedule P hereto.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, upon Landlord's request, Tenant shall repair Landlord Alterations, Landlord's Systems and/or the corridors, toilet room(s) and elevator lobbies on floors within the Landlord Space and Landlord

shall pay the reasonable cost thereof within thirty (30) days after receipt by Landlord of an invoice therefore, except that such repairs shall be at Tenant's expense in the event of damage to the foregoing caused (x) in violation of Tenant's obligations under, or agreements or covenants contained in this Lease, (y) pursuant to Legal Requirements or Insurance Requirements which are Tenant's obligation under this Lease, or (z) by the negligence of Tenant, its agents, contractors and its or their employees. Tenant shall not be required to repair any such Landlord Alterations, Landlord's Systems and/or the corridors, toilet room(s) and elevator lobbies which are located in portions of the Landlord Space that arc occupied by tenants of Landlord. The right to request Tenant to perform the foregoing repairs shall be personal to MetLife.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Tenant shall not be required to comply with Legal Requirement applicable to the mere general "office" use (as opposed to the manner of use) of the Landlord Space, except to the extent Landlord requests that Tenant perform such work at Landlord's expense pursuant to Section 9.1 (b).

(d) Requirements for All Tenant Alterations. No Tenant Alteration may be undertaken if such Tenant Alteration would (a) result in the Building's not being a First-Class Office Building or (b) materially and adversely affect any structural element of the Building or any item of Major Building Equipment (as defined in definitions Section 9.3). Each Tenant Alteration (i) shall be effected with due diligence, in a good and workmanlike manner, and in compliance with all Legal Requirements, Insurance Requirements and Permitted Encumbrances, as hereinafter defined, and (ii) must be done in strict compliance with the ICIP Laws and for other federal and state tax programs as set forth in Section 9.6(c) hereof. All Structural Work and all replacements of items of Major Building Equipment shall be of a quality at least equal to the original. Landlord shall not be liable to any contractors, subcontractors, laborers, material men, suppliers or vendors (x) for services performed or material provided on or in connection with the Demised Premises or any part thereof or (y) for services performed or material provided on or in connection with Tenant's performance of its obligations under this Article 9 with respect to the Building or any part thereof, except as otherwise provided in Article 35.

All Tenant Alterations shall immediately become the property of Landlord and, to the extent located within the Demised Premises, shall be a part of the Demised Premises and shall be subject to this Lease. For purposes hereof, the term "Permitted Encumbrance" shall mean those Encumbrances which are listed on Schedule D hereto or any Encumbrance hereafter granted by Landlord.

Section 9.2. Maintenance Programs.

(a) Initial Maintenance Program. Tenant has submitted to Landlord and Landlord has approved (i) a budget of expenses and capital expenditures (the "Existing Expense Budget") that Tenant plans to make during the calendar year 2003 identifying those capital expenditures that Tenant expects will be reimbursable pursuant to Section 9.5 hereof, and (ii) a maintenance program (the "Existing Maintenance Program") for the Building for the period beginning on January 1, 2003 and ending on December 31, 2003 with respect to the

On or before November 1, 2003 and on or before November 1st of each year (other than with respect to the material described in clause (iii) below, which shall be rendered within ninety (90) days after the end of each calendar year), thereafter during the term of this Lease, Tenant shall submit to Landlord (i) for its approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, a budget of expenses (including, without limitation, costs and expenses incurred in operating the Demised Premises) and capital expenditures that Tenant plans to incur and/or make for the 12-month period commencing on the next January 1^st identifying those capital expenditures that Tenant expects will be reimbursable pursuant to Section 9.5 hereof (an "Annual Expense Budget"), and (ii) for its approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, a maintenance program with respect to the Programmed Maintenance Items for the 12-month period commencing on the next January 1st (an "Annual Maintenance Program"), and (iii) for its review, a reconciliation report detailing the actual expenses (including, without limitation, costs and expenses incurred in operating the Building) and capital expenditures as well as costs and expenses for Programmed Maintenance Items actually incurred by Tenant for the then-current year, together with any further information reasonably requested by Landlord with respect to such reconciliation report. Landlord shall give notice to Tenant of Landlord's approval or disapproval of each Annual Maintenance Program and Annual Expense Budget within 30 business days after receipt by Landlord of all items set forth in the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) (which notice shall, in the case of a disapproval, be accompanied by a reasonably complete statement of the reasons for disapproval). If Tenant disputes whether Landlord's approval was reasonably withheld, the part or parts of the Annual Maintenance Program or Annual Expense Budget affected by such dispute shall be determined by the Appropriate Engineer in accordance with the First-Class Standard.

(c) Compliance by Tenant. Tenant shall comply with each Annual Maintenance Program (as reasonably approved by Landlord or as determined by the Appropriate Engineer) for the period covered thereby; provided, however, that if any dispute as to an Annual Maintenance Program shall not be resolved before the period intended to be covered thereby, Tenant shall be in compliance with this Section 9.2(c) if Tenant shall, pending the resolution of such dispute, comply with the Existing Maintenance Program (if the dispute involves the 2004 Annual Maintenance Program) or the most recent Annual Maintenance Program in effect (if the dispute involves any other Annual Maintenance Program).

Provided that Tenant shall have given Landlord prompt telephonic notice to MetLife's then Vice President of Equity Investment Management (or if there is no Vice President of EIM—to the Director of Facilities) (confirmed in writing as soon as reasonably practicable) of an emergency, Tenant may (without first complying with the applicable provisions of this Section 9.4) proceed with such aspects of any Tenant Alteration as Tenant may reasonably deem necessary in light of the emergency, but as promptly as reasonably practicable thereafter Tenant shall comply with the applicable provisions of said Sections. Any dispute as to Tenant's right to avail itself of this Section 9.4(f) shall be determined by the Appropriate Engineer.

(g) Submission of As-Built Plans for All Tenant Alterations. Upon completion of any Tenant Alterations for which Tenant was required to submit Plans and Specifications to Landlord pursuant to Section 9.4(a) of this Lease, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord three (3) complete sets (mylar and computer digitized in AutoCADD Version 12, or the then current digitized system used by Landlord, provided such then current system is then generally accepted in the real estate industry in New York City) of final as-built plans (or as-built plans or final construction plans with field notes marked) for such Tenant Alterations. In addition, if Tenant is not otherwise required to deliver such as-built plans but has actually

prepared plans showing as-built conditions, Tenant shall deliver the same to Landlord promptly upon completion thereof.

Section 9.5. Certain Reimbursements.

(a) Submission of Bids. In the case of any Reimbursable Replacement, Reimbursable Structural Work or Reimbursable Legal Requirement Alteration, Tenant shall (subject to Section 9.5(e)), simultaneously with the submission of all of the Plans and Specifications therefor to Landlord, deliver to Landlord a list of at least 3 reputable contractors and/or subcontractors (collectively, the "Original Bidders") from whom Tenant proposes to obtain bids for the work. Landlord shall have the right, exercisable by notice to Tenant delivered not later than 10 business days after receipt by Landlord of the list of the Original Bidders, to designate no more than 3 additional reputable contractors and/or subcontractors (collectively, the "Additional Bidders") from whom Landlord desires Tenant to obtain bids. Tenant shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable, obtain bids from at least 2 of the Original Bidders and solicit bids from all of the Additional Bidders (if any) on a competitive basis and submit all bids obtained (together with the proposed contracts relating thereto) to Landlord, and within 15 business days after receipt thereof Tenant shall give notice to Landlord designating the Original Bidder or the Additional Bidder (in either case being an Original Bidder or Additional Bidder from whom Tenant has obtained a bid) which in Tenant's judgment should perform the work in question (the Original Bidder or Additional Bidder so designated by Tenant being called "Tenant's Preferred Bidder"). Landlord shall have the right, exercisable by notice (the "Dispute Notice") given to Tenant within 10 business days after the date upon which Landlord receives notice of the identity of Tenant's Preferred Bidder (which Dispute Notice shall specify the Original Bidder or the Additional Bidder ("Landlord's Selected Bidder") which Landlord proposes to select to do the work in question), to dispute Tenant's designation of Tenant's Preferred Bidder, and if the Dispute Notice shall be timely given, the Appropriate Engineer shall select either Landlord's Preferred Bidder or Tenant's Selected Bidder as the bidder which (in light of the bid, contract terms, reputation and experience of such bidder) is most appropriate to do the work in question.

(b) Reimbursement Amount. Landlord shall, in accordance with Section 9.5(d), reimburse Tenant on account of any Reimbursable Replacement, Reimbursable Structural Work or Reimbursable Legal Requirement Alteration in an amount (the "Reimbursement Amount") equal to:

(i) in the case of any Reimbursable Replacement or Reimbursable Structural Work, the product of:

(A) the sum of the following:

(1) the lesser of (the "Base Amount"): (y) all Costs reasonably incurred by Tenant in connection with the work in question (exclusive, however, of the fees and disbursements of any architect or engineer retained by Tenant) or (z) the original contract price of Tenant's Preferred Bidder or, if Landlord shall have timely given the Dispute Notice and the Appropriate Engineer shall have selected Landlord's Selected Bidder, the original contract price of Landlord's Selected Bidder; plus

(2) the reasonable fees and disbursements of any architect or engineer retained by Tenant in connection with the work in question; plus

(3) any Qualified Overruns (as hereinafter defined); and

(B) (y) in the case of a Reimbursable Replacement only, a fraction, the numerator of which is the estimated actual life (the "Estimated Actual Life")of the new item of Major Building Equipment (based upon Tenant's actual use of the item of Major Building Equipment being replaced over the past twelve (12) months) and the denominator of which is the estimated useful life (the "Estimated Useful Life") of the new item of Major Building Equipment; or (z) in all other circumstances, one (1).

(ii) in the case of any Reimbursable Legal Requirement Alteration, the sum of the following:

(1) the product of the Measuring Fraction (as hereinafter defined) multiplied by the sum of (i) the Base Amount for the work in question, plus (ii) any Qualified Overruns; plus

(2) the reasonable fees and disbursements of any architect or engineer retained by Tenant in connection with the work in question.

Any dispute as to (1) the Estimated Actual Life, (2) the Estimated Useful Life, or (3) the reasonableness of the incurrence by Tenant of any Cost in connection with the work in question, or as to the reasonableness of the amount of any such Cost, shall be determined by the Appropriate Engineer.

"Measuring Fraction" means, in respect of any Reimbursable Legal Requirement Alteration, the fraction whose numerator is, the number of months in the period from the expiration of the Term of this Lease including all Extension Terms as to which Tenant shall have exercised or shall in the future exercise its option pursuant to Article 29 hereof (in which event such Measuring Fraction shall be recalculated) to the end of the expected useful life of such Tenant Alteration and whose denominator is the number of months in the period from the Estimated Substantial Completion Date of such Tenant Alteration to the end of the expected useful life thereof. Any dispute as to the reasonableness of any Estimated Substantial Completion Date, or as to the expected useful life of any Reimbursable Legal Requirement Alteration, shall be determined by the Appropriate Engineer.

(c) Overruns; Qualified Overruns. At any time during the performance of any Reimbursable Replacement, Reimbursable Structural Work or Reimbursable Legal Requirement Alteration, Tenant may give notice (an "Overrun Notice") to Landlord specifying any cost (an "Overrun") in excess of the Base Cost which Tenant expects to incur and which Tenant contends was unforeseeable by Tenant at the time of commencement of the work (each Overrun Notice to specify the nature of, and reasons for, the Overrun in question in reasonably complete and specific detail). Within 10 business days after receipt of an Overrun Notice, Landlord shall notify Tenant as to whether or not in Landlord's judgment the Overrun in question is reasonable in amount under the circumstances and was unforeseeable by Tenant at the time of commencement of the work. If Tenant shall dispute Landlord's judgment, the reasonableness of

the amount of, and the foreseeability by Tenant of, the Overrun in question shall be determined by the Appropriate Engineer. Any Overrun determined by Landlord or the Appropriate Engineer to be reasonable in amount under the circumstances and unforeseeable by Tenant at the time of commencement of the work shall be a "Qualified Overrun".

(d) Reimbursement Upon Full Completion. Landlord shall upon the full completion of the work in question and within ten (10) business days after Landlord's receipt of Tenant's request therefor, remit the Reimbursement Amount to Tenant; provided, however, that, Landlord shall not be obligated to make such remittance unless:

(i) Tenant's request for remittance shall be accompanied by (a) a certificate of Tenant (in form reasonably satisfactory to Landlord) stating that an amount at least equal to the Reimbursement Amount has been paid to contractors, subcontractors, materialmen, engineers, architects or other persons (whose names and addresses and a description of the work involved shall be stated) who have furnished labor, materials, supplies, permits or services for the work in question (collectively, "Contractors") and that to Tenant's best knowledge (after due inquiry) there is no outstanding indebtedness due for labor, materials, supplies, permits or services in any manner connected with the work in question which if unpaid might be the basis for any type of lien on the Building or any part thereof, and (b) a certificate of the architect or engineer who prepared the related Plans and Specifications (in form reasonably satisfactory to Landlord) stating that such work has been fully completed in a good and workmanlike manner and in accordance with the Plans and Specifications (as approved by Landlord or as determined by the Appropriate Engineer, as the case may be provided that in no circumstance shall Tenant forfeit any reimbursement hereunder if it has failed to submit Plans and Specifications, but Tenant shall be liable to alter or correct any work as to which Landlord would have had the right to reasonably disapprove);

(ii) Landlord shall have received (a) true copies of all bills paid by Tenant to Contractors in connection with the work in question, (b) an instrument in writing from any title company insuring Landlord's estate in the Building certifying that there are no undischarged mechanics', laborers' or materialmen's liens relating to the work in question affecting any part of the Building, and (c) evidence reasonably satisfactory to Landlord that Tenant has obtained waivers of mechanics', laborers' or materialmen's liens or releases of such liens from all Contractors engaged in the work in question;

(iii) no certificate delivered to Landlord by Tenant or any architect or engineer in connection with the work in question shall have been materially incorrect at the time of delivery (any dispute pursuant to this clause (iii) to be determined by the Appropriate Engineer); and

(iv) no Material Monetary Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

(e) Emergencies. Provided that Tenant shall have given Landlord prompt telephonic notice (confirmed in writing as soon as reasonably practicable) of an

emergency, Tenant may proceed with any Reimbursable Replacement, Reimbursable Structural Work or Reimbursable Legal Requirement Alteration without first complying with the applicable provisions of this Section, and Landlord shall, following full completion of the emergency work in question and within 10 business days after Landlord's receipt of Tenant's request therefor, remit the Emergency Reimbursement Amount (as hereinafter defined) to Tenant; provided, however, that Landlord shall not be obligated to make such remittance unless all of the conditions specified in clauses (i) through (iv) of Section 9.5(d) shall have been fulfilled in respect of the work in question (provided that (a) if no architect or engineer was retained for the emergency work in question, subclause (b) of Section 9.5(d)(i) shall be deemed fulfilled if (x) Tenant shall deliver a certificate to Landlord stating that such emergency work has been fully completed in a good and workmanlike manner and (y) such emergency work has been fully completed in a manner consistent with the character of the Building as a First-Class Office Building (with due regard to the character of the work as emergency work), and (b) if an architect or engineer was retained for the emergency work in question but due to the nature of the emergency no Plans and Specifications therefor were prepared, subclause (b) of Section 9.5(d)(i) shall be deemed fulfilled if (x) Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a certificate of such architect or engineer stating that such emergency work has been fully completed in a good and workmanlike manner and (y) such emergency work has been fully completed in a manner consistent with the character of the Building as a First-Class Office Building (with due regard to the character of the work as emergency work).

"Emergency Reimbursement Amount" means (a) in respect of any Reimbursable Replacement or Reimbursable Structural Work undertaken in an emergency, all Costs reasonably incurred by Tenant in connection with the emergency work in question and (b) in the case of a Reimbursable Legal Requirement Alteration undertaken in an emergency, the product of the Measuring Fraction multiplied by an amount equal to all Costs reasonably incurred by Tenant in connection with the emergency work in question.

Any dispute as to Tenant's right to avail itself of this Section, or as to the reasonableness of the incurrence by Tenant of any Cost in connection with the emergency work in question, or as to the reasonableness of the amount of any such Cost, shall be determined by the Appropriate Engineer.

Section 9.6. Rehabilitation Work.

(a) Landlord has completed the rehabilitation work described on Schedule G hereto (the "Rehabilitation Work") at the Building in a good and workmanlike manner consistent with First-Class Office Buildings and in accordance with ICIP Law and all other applicable Legal Requirements, Insurance Requirements and Permitted Encumbrances.

(c) Tenant acknowledges that Tenant has been informed by Landlord that Landlord has applied for certain tax credits (the "Tax Credits") under the Federal Historic Preservation Tax Incentives Program (the "Incentives Program") which relate to the Rehabilitation Work, work previously performed by Landlord at the Building and work performed or to be performed by Landlord at 11 Madison Avenue, New York, New York (collectively, the "Tax Credit Work"), and that Landlord may lose certain Tax Credits or suffer significant recapture of the Tax Credits in the event that any improvements, additions, Tenant Alterations and/or decorative work (including interior wall coverings, moveable partitions, cabinetry and carpeting) performed by Tenant (collectively "Tenant Work") do not comply with the requirements of the Incentives Program. Accordingly, Tenant hereby agrees that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Article 9 or elsewhere in this Lease, during the period commencing on the date hereof and ending on the date designated by Landlord in writing as the fifth (5^th) anniversary of the date on which Landlord obtains final certification under the Incentives Program of all of the Tax Credit Work:

(i) Prior to commencing any Tenant Work, Tenant shall obtain prior approval thereof, if required, from the National Park Service ("NPS") and the State New York Historic Preservation Office ("SHPO").

(ii) Tenant shall provide access to the Demised Premises by employees and agents of NPS and SHPO at all reasonable times at the request of Landlord.

(b) Upon demand of Landlord, Tenant shall comply in all respects with any reasonable and timely suggestions made by Landlord with respect to construction matters relating to any Reimbursable Replacement, Reimbursable Structural Work or Reimbursable Legal

Requirement Alteration, and shall correct any defect in the work in question or any material departure from the Plans and Specifications for the work in question provided that all such corrective work shall constitute a Reimbursable Replacement, Reimbursable Structural Work or Reimbursable Legal Alteration, as the case may be, absent Tenant's willful malfeasance. Any dispute pursuant to this clause (b) shall be determined by the Appropriate Engineer.

(c) Tenant shall, within 30 days after receipt of a statement therefor (accompanied by true copies of the bills paid by Landlord), reimburse Landlord for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred for the services of an architect or engineer making inspections of any Tenant Alteration and for reviewing Tenant's Plans and Specifications.

(d) Notwithstanding that joint or concurrent liability may be imposed upon Tenant by a Legal Requirement, Landlord will, except to the extent caused by the negligence or tortious act or omission of Tenant or any of its agents, officers, contractors, employees, servants and invitees, indemnify and save harmless Tenant against and from all liabilities, obligations, damages, penalties, claims, costs, charges and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, which may be imposed upon, or incurred by, or asserted against Tenant by reason of death or injury to person or damage to property arising from any act, omission, negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or its representatives while exercising the right of access granted under Section 9.7(a) hereof. Nothing contained in this Section 9.7(d) shall be deemed to be impose any liability upon Landlord with respect to the construction of any Tenant Alteration or the Existing Maintenance Program or any Annual Maintenance Program.

Section 9.8. Engineer; Appropriate Engineer.

(a) "Engineer": means (i) Jaros, Baum & Bolles, Syska & Hennessey, and Flack + Kurtz, and (ii) such other independent engineering firm or firms having at least 15 years' experience in First Class Office Buildings as shall from time to time be designated by Landlord or Tenant and approved by the other party (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; any dispute as to whether either Landlord or Tenant has unreasonably withheld or delayed such approval to be determined by arbitration).

(b) "Appropriate Engineer": means, in respect of any matter required by this Lease to be determined by an Appropriate Engineer, such Engineer as either party may designate by notice to the other party.

(c) Each Appropriate Engineer shall make its determination as promptly as reasonably practicable, but in any event within 30 days after request therefor by Landlord or Tenant. Each determination made by an Appropriate Engineer pursuant to this Lease shall be final and binding on Landlord and Tenant with the same force and effect as if such determination had been rendered by an arbitrator pursuant to an arbitration conducted in accordance with Article 21 hereof. Landlord and Tenant shall each pay one-half of the fees and expenses of each Appropriate Engineer which is called upon to act hereunder.

Section 9.9. Floor Load. Tenant shall not place a load upon any floor of the Demised Premises exceeding the limits prescribed in the certificate of occupancy for the Building.

Section 9.10.

Business machines and mechanical equipment belonging to Landlord which cause (i) vibration, noise, cold or heat that may be transmitted to the Building structure or to any leased space other than the Landlord Space to such a degree as to be reasonably objectionable to Tenant or to any other tenant in the Building shall be placed and maintained by Landlord, at its expense, in settings sufficient to absorb and prevent such vibration or noise or (ii) noise outside of the Building shall be muffled in such manner as shall eliminate such noise. Tenant, in furtherance of its obligations under Article 34 of this Lease, shall itself conform and shall use diligent efforts (including the institution and prosecution of legal proceedings) to cause all other Building occupants to conform to the requirements of the immediately preceding sentence with respect to the transmission of vibrations, noise, cold or heat from other portions of the Building to the Landlord Space.

INSPECTION

Section 13.1. Landlord's Right of Access. (a) Tenant shall permit Landlord, or its agents, to enter the Demised Premises at all reasonable hours upon reasonable prior notice except in case of emergency (and by force, if necessary under the circumstances) for the purpose of inspecting the same or of performing maintenance or making repairs, alterations or improvements which Tenant is required to perform and neglects or refuses to perform. If Tenant is not personally present to open and permit entry into the Demised Premises whenever entry is necessary by reason of fire or other emergency, Landlord or its agents may forcibly enter the Demised Premises without liability to Tenant or waiver or modification of Tenant's obligation under this Lease.

Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section

13.1, Landlord shall have the right to enter portions of the Demised Premises pursuant to and in accordance with this Article 13 and the Shared Services Agreement.

In the event that there are no Executive Dedicated Elevators, Landlord Parties shall have access through the South Building Lobby to reach the elevators serving the 11^th Floor of the South Building.

(d) Landlord shall also have the access rights granted in Article 34 hereof.

Section 13.2. Landlord will use the 24^th Street Tower entrance as its main point of access but shall also have the right to use the other entrances for access.

Landlord will be deemed to have complied with the foregoing provision if (a) the leases with such tenants provide that such tenants shall use the 24^th Street Tower entrance only, (b) upon execution of any such lease, Landlord gives Tenant notice of such lease so that Tenant can reprogram Tenant's security card readers to exclude such tenant and its employees from the security turnstiles at the other entrances, and (c) Landlord maintains security at the access point between the South Building and Tower lobbies to prevent access by such tenants through such access point. Landlord shall provide security for the lobby access points in accordance with Section 34.18.

Landlord shall permit Tenant to erect, use and maintain pipes, ducts, fans, wires and conduits in and through the Landlord Space, provided the same are installed adjacent to or concealed behind, beneath or within partitioning, columns, floors, walls and ceilings of the Landlord Space or otherwise completely furred at points immediately adjacent to any of the foregoing and provided further that the installation and maintenance of the same do not (i) materially adversely affect Landlord's Systems, (ii) materially adversely affect the use of the Landlord Space for business purposes by Landlord Parties in a manner which would not be customary in a First-Class Office Building, or (iii) reduce the useable area of the Landlord Space by a material amount and Tenant shall have used reasonable efforts to first install the same in portions of the Building (such as shaftways) reserved by Tenant for use in common. Tenant and persons authorized by Tenant shall have a right to enter and/or pass through the Landlord Space, at all necessary times, to make, and have the right to make, such repairs, alterations, additions and improvements in or to the Landlord Space, the Building and the facilities and equipment in either or both as Tenant is required to make under this Lease, provided that such repairs, alterations, additions or improvements shall be performed during such hours and in such manner so as not to unreasonably cause material interference with the conduct of Landlord Parties' business. Tenant

shall be allowed to take all material into and upon the Landlord Space that may be required for the repairs or alterations above mentioned as the same is required for such purpose, provided that the presence, nature or location of such material shall not unreasonably interfere with the conduct of Landlord Parties' business in a manner which would not be customary in a First-Class Office Building, without the same constituting trespass. Tenant shall have no liability by reason of loss or interruption of the business of Landlord or annoyance or inconvenience to Landlord because of the prosecution of any such work, provided Tenant diligently proceeds therewith and complies with the provisions of Sections 13.2 and 13.3. Tenant shall exercise reasonable diligence so as not to unreasonably cause interference with the conduct of Landlord's business and shall take reasonable care to safeguard the Landlord Space and Landlord Parties' property and shall repair any damage caused by Tenant, its contractors and employees, but nothing contained in Sections 13.2 or 13.3 shall require Tenant to expend or incur any charges or costs for overtime labor or pay any premiums other than on the basis provided in Section 9.10 hereof.

Section 13.4. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any entry into the Landlord Space pursuant to Section 13.0 shall be subject to the following conditions:

(a) Tenant shall, except in case of emergency, provide Landlord with not less than one Business Day's prior notice of any such entry;

(b) any damage to the Landlord Space resulting from Tenant's exercise of the foregoing rights shall be repaired promptly by Tenant, at Tenant's expense; and

(c) if Landlord shall not be present when for any reason entry into the Landlord Space shall be necessary or permissible, Tenant or Tenant's agents may enter any portion of the same, other than areas previously designated in a written notice to Tenant by Landlord as "security areas" where securities, negotiable instruments or currency are kept by Landlord. Neither Tenant nor Tenant's agents shall enter such "security areas" except in the case of an emergency unless accompanied by Landlord. As of the date hereof, Landlord has not designated any "security areas".

ARTICLE 14

ASSIGNMENT; SUBLETTING

Section 14.1. Except as expressly provided otherwise in this Article 14, 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 all or any portion of the Demised Premises, or suffer or permit the Demised Premises or any part thereof to be used by others, without the prior written consent of Landlord in each instance. 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 as to which Landlord's consent is required under this Lease. Possession or occupancy of any portion of the Demised Premises by one or more of Tenant's Affiliates (whether or not pursuant to a written agreement) shall not be deemed or construed to be a sublease hereunder and Tenant shall be permitted to allow, subject to the terms and conditions

of this Lease (but without having to obtain Landlord's consent thereto), Tenant's Affiliates to occupy the Demised Premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of possession or occupancy of any portion of the Demised Premises by Tenant's Affiliates, any subsequent transaction whereby such occupant shall cease to be an Affiliate shall be deemed a sublease requiring Landlord's prior consent pursuant to this Article 14; provided however that Landlord shall not have the rights in, and Tenant shall not be obligated to comply with, the provisions of Section 14.3 hereof (provided that such subsequent transaction shall be done for a good business purpose and not primarily for the purpose of circumventing compliance with Section 14.3 hereof). The Tenant originally named herein (i.e., Credit Suisse First Boston (USA), Inc.) and any successor thereto by merger, consolidation or corporate reorganization or sale of substantially all of its assets, shall be permitted to allow, subject to the terms and conditions of the Lease (but without having to either obtain Landlord's consent thereto or share any Profits therefrom with Landlord), Tenant's "Business Associates," as hereinafter defined, to occupy portions of the Demised Premises on a temporary basis from time to time (it being agreed that the term "temporary" as used in this Section 14.1 shall mean the duration of the ongoing business or professional relationship), provided that the space occupied by Tenant's Business Associates shall not be separately demised from the Demised Premises. "Business Associates" shall mean professional and business entities with whom the named Tenant shall have an on-going professional or business relationship. Any assignee or subtenant of the Tenant originally named herein shall also be permitted to allow, subject to the terms and conditions of the Lease (but without having to either obtain Landlord's consent thereto or share any Profits therefrom with Landlord), its Business Associates to occupy up to fifteen (15%) percent of the Demised Premises, in the case of an assignee, or up to fifteen (15%) percent of the sublet space, in the case of a subtenant, from time to time on a temporary basis provided that the space occupied by such Business Associates shall not be separately demised from the Demised Premises or the sublet space, as the case may be.

Section 14.2. If Tenant desires to assign this Lease or to sublet all or any portion of the Demised Premises, provided that Tenant shall have theretofore satisfied the requirements of Section 14.3 hereof, and Landlord shall have waived or be deemed to have waived its rights thereunder, then Tenant shall request Landlord's consent to each such assignment or to each such subletting and, as part of such request, Tenant must submit in writing to Landlord (i) the name and address of the proposed assignee or sublessee and (ii) reasonably satisfactory information relating to the proposed assignee or sublessee reasonably sufficient to enable Landlord to determine the reputation and character of the proposed assignee or sublessee. Subject to Tenant's compliance with this Section 14.2, the terms and conditions set forth in Section 14.4(a) shall be the basis for Landlord's granting or withholding of consent to a requested assignment of this Lease or sublease of the Demised Premises.

Section 14.3.(a) Prior to requesting Landlord's consent to a proposed assignment of this Lease or a proposed sublease of the Demised Premises or any portion thereof pursuant to Section 14.2 hereof (other than with respect to the first sublease(s) of each portion of the Retail Space executed after the Commencement Date), Tenant must first present Landlord with a written offer ("Recapture Offer Notice") to accept an assignment of this Lease, in the case of a proposed assignment, or a sublease of such space in the case of a proposed subletting to Landlord for occupancy by Landlord or Landlord's Affiliates. The right herein granted is personal to MetLife. The Recapture Offer Notice shall set forth: (i) the area proposed to be sublet, in the

case of a proposed subletting of a portion of the Demised Premises, and (ii) if a proposed subletting, the term of the proposed subletting and the date the area to be sublet is intended to be vacated by Tenant, which date shall not be less than thirty (30) days after the date Landlord receives such Recapture Offer Notice. Landlord shall have a period of thirty (30) days after its receipt of said Recapture Offer Notice within which to accept or reject the offer. If Landlord shall fail to respond to Tenant's Recapture Notice within such thirty (30) day period, then Tenant shall have the right to give to Landlord a second notice (a "Second Recapture Notice"), and if Landlord shall fail to respond to such Second Recapture Notice within ten (10) Business Days after Landlord's receipt thereof, then Landlord shall be deemed to have rejected such offer, provided and on condition that: the Second Recapture Notice shall make specific reference to this Section 14.3 (a) and shall state in bold uppercase letters on the first page thereof: "LANDLORD SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE REJECTED THE RECAPTURE RIGHT DESCRIBED IN THIS NOTICE IF LANDLORD FAILS TO RESPOND WITHIN TEN (10) BUSINESS DAYS AFTER THIS NOTICE SHALL HAVE BEEN GIVEN TO LANDLORD". If Landlord shall accept such offer, Tenant and Landlord shall either (i) if the subletting is for less than the remainder of the Term, execute and deliver a sublease for such space at a rental rate equal to the Assumed Rent and otherwise on the terms and conditions contained in the Recapture Offer Notice or (ii) if the subletting is for the remainder of the Term, execute an amendment to this Lease terminating this Lease only as to such space. In the event Landlord does not acquire all of the Demised Premises, Landlord (at Tenant's sole cost and expense) will do all the work necessary to physically separate the portion of the Demised Premises so subleased to Landlord from the portion so retained by Tenant, which work shall include, without limitation, the erection of a demising wall between the portion of the Demised Premises so surrendered to Landlord and the balance of the Demised Premises retained by Tenant. In addition, in the event the portion of the Demised Premises so surrendered to Landlord does not have direct access to a public corridor in the Building or to an elevator bank serving such surrendered portion, Tenant, at Tenant's expense shall, and will at all times, provide and permit reasonably appropriate means of ingress to and egress from and access across and through the balance of the Demised Premises retained by Tenant, provide and permit appropriate use of the elevators serving such surrendered portion, including access across lobby and corridor areas, and provide and furnish services, including, without limitation, air-conditioning and ventilating service to such space on the same basis as are provided in Article 34 hereof, for the same payments provided for in Article 34 hereof, so as to enable Landlord to use the portion of the Demised Premises so surrendered for the purposes for which they were permitted to be used by Tenant.

(b) Notwithstanding anything in to the contrary, in the event Landlord or Landlord's Affiliate subleases any space from Tenant pursuant to Section 14.3(a) hereof and Landlord or such Affiliate thereafter, in good faith, determines not to use or occupy such space for its own purposes, then, at any time from and after the first (1^st) anniversary of the commencement of the term of such subletting, Landlord or such Affiliate shall have the right to sub-sublease all or any portion of the same (such space, "Recapture Space") to anyone provided and on condition that the provisions of Article 33 shall apply to, and Tenant shall have all the rights set forth in Article 33 with respect to, such proposed sub-subleasing as if such space were Offered Space.

Section 14.4. (a) In connection with granting a consent to a requested sublease or assignment, Landlord agrees that if Landlord did not exercise its rights pursuant to Section 14.3

hereof, Landlord will not withhold or delay its consent to the proposed subletting or assignment provided (i) the reputation, business and character of the proposed sublessee or assignee are in keeping with the standards of a First-Class Office Building; (ii) the purpose for which the proposed sublessee or assignee intends to use the Demised Premises is not in violation of the provisions of Article 6 of this Lease; (iii) no sublease or assignment or other transaction and no assumption shall affect or reduce any of the obligations of Tenant hereunder; (iv) in the case of a proposed subletting of all or any portion of the Retail Space, the proposed use and the proposed operation of such space shall satisfy the "Retail Standards," as hereinafter set forth, (v) the form of the proposed sublease or the proposed assignment shall comply with the applicable provisions of Sections 14.5 and 14.8 of this Lease. If Landlord shall have failed to respond to Tenant's request for consent to a proposed assignment of this Lease or a proposed subletting of the Demised Premises or any portion thereof within ten (10) Business Days after Tenant shall have submitted Tenant's written request therefor together with all of the information and documentation hereinbefore set forth in this Section 14.4 (the "Required Consent Information"), then Tenant shall have the right to give to Landlord a second notice (a "Second Consent Request"), and if Landlord shall fail to respond to such Second Consent Request within five (5) Business Days after Landlord's receipt thereof, then Landlord shall be deemed to have consented to the proposed assignment or sublease, as the case may be, provided and on condition that: the Second Consent Request shall make specific reference to this Section 14.4 (a) and shall state in bold uppercase letters on the first page thereof: "LANDLORD'S CONSENT TO THE PROPOSED ASSIGNMENT OR SUBLEASE SHALL BE DEEMED GIVEN IF LANDLORD FAILS TO CONSENT TO OR DISAPPROVE SUCH PROPOSED ASSIGNMENT OR SUBLEASE WITHIN FIVE (5) BUSINESS DAYS AFTER THIS NOTICE SHALL HAVE BEEN GIVEN TO LANDLORD." If Landlord shall disapprove any such proposed assignment or sublease, Landlord shall set forth in its disapproval the grounds upon which Landlord bases its disapproval (the "Disapproval Grounds"). If Tenant desires to dispute the reasonableness of any disapproval by Landlord of any request for consent to an assignment or subletting, then Tenant shall submit such dispute to arbitration in accordance with Section 14.13 hereof.

(b) The rights granted in Section 14.4(a) granting Landlord the right to withhold its consent to a proposed sublease or assignment (other than Landlord's right to withhold its consent to a proposed sublease affecting Retail Space) (the "Non-Retail Consent Rights") are personal to MetLife. In the event that MetLife is not the Landlord, then the Non-Retail Consent Rights shall be null and void and Tenant shall have the right to proceed with a subletting or assignment (other than a proposed sublease affecting Retail Space) without Landlord's consent, provided (i) the reputation, business and character of the proposed sublessee or assignee are in keeping with the standards of a First-Class Office Building; (ii) the purpose for which the proposed sublessee or assignee intends to use the Demised Premises is not in violation of the provisions of Article 6 of this Lease; (iii) no sublease or assignment or other transaction and no assumption shall affect or reduce any of the obligations of Tenant hereunder; and (iv) the form of the proposed sublease or the proposed assignment shall comply with the applicable provisions of Sections 14.5 and 14.8 of this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, proposed subleases of all or any portion of the Retail Space shall be governed by the provisions of Section 14.4(a) hereof whether or not MetLife is the Landlord.

(c) The term "Retail Standards" shall mean that: (a) the use of the Retail Space or the portion thereof in question by the proposed subtenant will only be for purposes which are limited to retail sale of merchandise or services which is of a quality and nature consistent with the quality and nature of merchandise and services then sold in retail establishments in First-Class Office Buildings and such Retail Space shall in no event be used for a governmental or quasi-government use, as offices of a foreign country, employment agency or center, a school, medical or psychiatric offices or medical care clinic, nightclub or fraternal organization, entertainment, broadcast or transmission facility (other than a broadcast facility for a non-partisan, apolitical, television or radio news show in a manner befitting a First Class Office Building), manufacturing, repair or warehouse center, office or other facility of any charitable, religious, union or other not-for-profit organization, production facility, testing, training or classroom facility, medical, chemical or biological laboratory, bar, restaurant or other establishment for preparation or sale or any food or beverage (other than as a restaurant of high standard, serving quality food as customarily found in First-Class Office Buildings and not a so-called "fast-food" restaurant or a "theme" restaurant; provided that for the purposes of this Section 14.4(c), the following restaurants, as operated on the date hereof, shall not be considered to be "fast food" or "theme" restaurants: Cosi, Pret-a-Manger, Hale and Hearty, Devon and Blakely, Dishes and Mangia and comparable establishments), check cashing facility, pool hall or skating rink, funeral parlor, massage parlor, pornography or adult book or video store, amusement center or game room, theater or cinema auditorium, hotel or lodging facility, auction house, flea market, rifle range, gambling facility or casino or OTB, "head shop," pawn shop, dry cleaners, photo processors, music store, variety store, convenience store, video arcade or other video game retailer, or as an outlet, warehouse, close-out, bargain or any form of "deep discount" store, and (b) such subtenant shall in no event be Competitor of Landlord, and (c) at all times the operation of the business to be conducted in the Retail Space and the interior and exterior appearance of such Retail Space (including, without limitation, the appearance, number, location, nature and subject matter of all signs displayed in or about the Retail Space) will be dignified and in conformity with the standards of practice among high-class stores and shops conducting a similar business.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, if the aggregate rents payable under all Included Subleases then in effect (or the consideration payable with respect to an Included Assignment) exceeds the rent payable under this Lease on a prorated basis (determined on a per square foot basis), Tenant shall pay to Landlord (as and when received by Tenant, and as Additional Rent) fifty (50%) percent of the Profit, as such term is hereinafter defined. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a duplicate original of the sublease or assignment no later than ten (10) business days prior to the effective date of the sublease or assignment. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, Profit shall not include any amounts attributable to Excluded Transactions. For the purposes of this Section 14.4, (A) "Excluded Transactions" shall mean (i) the initial term of the first sublease(s) of each portion of the Retail Space executed after the Commencement Date, (ii) any Permitted Transfers, as defined in Section 14.10 hereof or with respect to the occupancy of space by Business Associates pursuant to Section 14.1 or (iii) any amounts paid by Landlord under the Shared Services Agreement; (B) "Included Assignment" shall mean any assignment of this Lease which is not an Excluded Transaction; and (C) "Included Sublease" shall mean any sublease which is not an Excluded Transaction. The term Included Sublease shall include (1) all subleases of Non-Retail Space (and renewal and extensions thereof); (2) the renewal or extension term of any sublease of Retail Space which was

an Excluded Transaction (whether or not such renewal or extension is pursuant to an option contained in the sublease); (3) any amendment to any sublease (whether or not such sublease is an Excluded Transaction) demising additional space (whether or not such additional space is sublet pursuant to an expansion option or right of first offer contained in the sublease) but, in the case of such an amendment to a sublease which is an Excluded Transaction, only the amounts attributable to such additional space shall be included in the calculation of Profit; (4) any sublease of any portion of the Retail Space which was previously sublet under a sublease which was an Excluded Transaction; and (5) in the case of any sublease which is partially an Excluded Transaction (e.g,, a sublease which is the first sublease of a portion of the Retail Space and also demises Non-Retail Space or a sublease which is the first sublease of a portion of the Retail Space and also demises Retail Space which was previously sublet), the portions of the space sublet which would not be considered an Excluded Transaction (i.e., amounts attributable to the Non-Retail Space or the Retail Space previously in the foregoing example would be included for the purposes of computing Profit).

(e) The term "Profit" shall mean the excess, if any, of (i) the rentals actually received by Tenant under any Included Subleases or the consideration actually received by Tenant under any Included Assignment (it being understood that the rentals actually received under any Included Subleases or the consideration actually received under any Included Assignment shall include sums paid for the sale or rental of Tenant's fixtures, leasehold improvements, equipment, furniture or other personal property, less, (A) in the case of the sale thereof, the then net unamortized or undepreciated cost thereof determined on the basis of Tenant's federal income tax returns (or the foreign country equivalent thereof, if applicable), and (B) in the case of the rental thereof, the then net unamortized cost thereof, amortized over the useful life of such item(s), and any other consideration actually received by Tenant under any sublease or assignment, other than payments in the nature of reimbursements for amounts payable to third parties such as indemnity payments) (the "Total Income") over (ii) the sum (the "Total Cost") of (w) all Minimum Rent paid by Tenant to Landlord hereunder, and the prorata amount of Impositions paid by Tenant, each of the foregoing as prorated on a rentable square foot basis to the portion of the Demised Premises so sublet, (x) in the case of Non-Retail Space, the amount of operating expenses (based on Operating Statements furnished by Tenant to Landlord and reasonably acceptable to Landlord) paid by Tenant in respect of the portion of the Demised Premises so sublet, excluding, without limitation, any costs not attributable to the use and occupancy of such portion, such as, for example, the cost of overtime services not provided to such subtenant, and (y) Tenant's Transaction Costs, as hereinafter defined. The term "Tenant's Transaction Costs" shall mean and include all actual reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Tenant consistent with the then market requirements in effectuating the subletting or assignment, including, without being limited to, reasonable marketing expenses, real estate transfer taxes, sales taxes and taxes of like import imposed in connection with the transaction, brokerage commissions, attorney's fees and disbursements, remodeling and redecorating costs, rent paid during any free-rent periods and takeover costs and expenses. In computing Profits, (1) no amounts attributable to any Excluded Transaction shall be included in Total Income, Total Cost or Tenant's Transaction Costs, and (2) the Total Income, as and when received by Tenant, shall first be offset against Tenant's Transaction Costs, as and when incurred or paid by Tenant on the basis hereinafter provided, until Tenant has recovered Tenant's Total Transaction Costs. The Total Income, as and when received, less such Total Cost as may be paid or incurred by Tenant on the basis herein provided shall constitute Profit. Profit shall be recomputed each time Tenant enters

into an Included Sublease (or in the case of the renewal or expansion of a sublease which was previously an Excluded Transaction, upon the commencement of the renewal term of the sublease or the date on which the expansion space is demised to the subtenant) or Included Assignment; provided, however, in no event shall Landlord ever be required to refund or credit to Tenant any sums previously paid or determined to be owing to Landlord for prior determinations of Profit in respect of earlier Included Subleases. There shall be no duplication of offsets against Total Income.

(f) If Tenant shall not consummate an assignment of this Lease or a subletting of the Demised Premises, as the case may be, as shall have been specified in Recapture Offer Notice within twelve (12) months following Landlord's waiver (or deemed waiver) in the case of a subletting of 200,000 rentable square feet of the Demised Premises or less, or within eighteen (18) months after such waiver (or deemed waiver) in the case of an assignment of this Lease or a subletting of more than 200,000 rentable square feet, Tenant shall not have the right to consummate the subletting of the Demised Premises or the assignment of this Lease, as the case may be, without again complying with all of the provisions of Section 14.3 hereof.

Section 14.5. Except for any subletting by Tenant to Landlord, each subletting shall be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Article 14 and shall be subject to all of the covenants, agreements, terms, provisions and conditions contained in this Lease. Nothing in this Article 14 shall be deemed or construed to release Tenant from liability after a subletting (other than a subletting to Landlord, but then only to the extent of the area of the Demised Premises so subleased to Landlord and only for the period of the sublease and any holdover by Landlord) or, where permitted, an assignment, it being understood and agreed that Tenant shall and will remain fully liable for payment of the Minimum Rent and Additional Rent due and to become due hereunder and for the performance of all the covenants, agreements, terms, provisions and conditions contained in this Lease on the part of Tenant to be performed, and all acts and omissions of any assignee, licensee or sublessee or anyone claiming under or through any assignee or sublessee (other than through Landlord) which shall be in violation of any of the obligations of this Lease shall be deemed to be a violation by Tenant. Tenant further agrees that, notwithstanding any such subletting, no other and further assignment or subletting of the Demised Premises shall or will be made except upon compliance with and subject to the provisions of this Article 14.

Section 14.6. If Landlord shall (using the criteria set forth in Section 14.4 of this Lease) decline to give its consent to any proposed sublease or assignment where such consent is required, Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Landlord against and from any and all loss, liability, damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements) resulting from any claims that may be made against Landlord by the proposed sublessee or by any brokers or other persons claiming a commission or similar compensation in connection with the proposed sublease or assignment. The provisions of this Section 14.6 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Term.

Section 14.7. Intentionally omitted.

Section 14.8. With respect to each and every sublease or subletting authorized under the provisions of this Lease (other than a sublease by Tenant to Landlord), it is further

agreed: (a) no subletting shall be for a term ending later than one (1) day prior to the Expiration Date; (b) no subtenant shall take possession of the Demised Premises or any portion thereof until an executed counterpart of such sublease has been delivered to Landlord; (c) such subtenant shall not have any rights to underlet all or any portion of the subleased space without Landlord's consent, and shall be subject to Landlord's right to sublease, in each of which cases on the basis provided in this Lease except that, if such subtenant is an Affiliate of Tenant at the time of the proposed subletting, Landlord's consent shall only be required if Tenant, assuming Tenant wanted to sublet said space, would be required to obtain Landlord's consent thereto (nor shall such subtenant have any right to assign its interest in the sublease other than to the successor to the business of the subtenant by virtue of a merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of such subtenant's assets or stock provided Landlord shall be given notice of the applicable event within twenty (20) business days after the occurrence thereof); (d) each sublease shall provide that it is subject and subordinate to this Lease and to the matters to which this Lease is or shall be subordinate, and that in the event of termination, re-entry or dispossess by Landlord under this Lease, Landlord may, at its option, take over all of the right, title and interest of Tenant, as sublessor, under such sublease, and such subtenant shall, at Landlord's option, attorn to Landlord pursuant to the then executory provisions of such sublease, except that Landlord shall not (i) be liable for any previous act or omission of Tenant under such sublease, (ii) be subject to any offset which theretofore accrued or may thereafter accrue to such subtenant against Tenant, or (iii) be bound by any previous modification of such sublease, not consented to by Landlord, or by any previous prepayment of more than one (1) month's rent.

Section 14.9. Non-disturbance. With respect to any sublease of the Demised Premises or any part thereof (a) which demises at least one full floor of the South Building, (b) the term of which is for at least ten (10) years or for remainder of the Term, less one day, if less than 10 years then remains in the Term; (c) the rent and additional rent under which (after deducting therefrom an amount equal to the Impositions payable hereunder with respect to the premises demised thereby and an amount equal to the expenses payable by Tenant to provide to the premises demised thereby the services referred to in clause (f) below) shall be no less than the portion of the Minimum Rent payable hereunder applicable on a pro-rata basis to the premises demised thereby (or, if such rent is less, the subtenant shall agree to pay same at the rate of the Minimum Rent payable hereunder applicable on a pro-rata basis); (d) which complies with the provisions of Section 14.4(a); (e) the subtenant under which is, in Landlord's reasonable judgment, financially sound and capable of performing its obligations thereunder, and Tenant shall have delivered to Landlord evidence reasonably satisfactory to Landlord of such financial status; (f) which shall entitle the subtenant to services (HVAC, elevators, cleaning, etc.) no more burdensome to provide than the services provided under typical leases for comparable space in First-Class Office Buildings as of the date of such sublease; and (g) which provides that, after termination of this Lease and attornment by the subtenant to Landlord, the subtenant shall not, without the prior written consent of Landlord, sublease all or any part of the premises demised thereby or assign the sublease, except in either case, to a wholly-owned subsidiary of, or an entity wholly owning, the subtenant, or to a successor of the subtenant, by merger, sale of assets or consolidation, provided that the net worth of such successor subtenant, calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, without regard to good will, shall be at least equal to the net worth of subtenant, as so calculated, ninety (90) days prior to the succession transaction, and evidence of such net worth (in the form of current financial statements certified by a "Big Five" firm of certified public accountants or current registration statements or reports filed with

the Securities and Exchange Commission) shall have been delivered to Landlord, Landlord shall, upon Tenant's request, enter into an agreement in substantially the form attached hereto as Schedule I (a "Landlord Non-Disturbance Agreement") with such subtenant. Any dispute as to whether any sublease complies with the provisions of this Section 14.9 shall be resolved by arbitration in accordance with Section 14.13 hereof; provided, however, that the form of the Landlord Non-Disturbance Agreement shall not be subject to arbitration. If the result of such arbitration shall be adverse to Landlord, Landlord shall not be liable for damages but Landlord shall then execute a Landlord Non-Disturbance Agreement. If Tenant shall make any request under this Section 14.9, it shall reimburse Landlord for Landlord's reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including attorneys' fees and disbursements, credit investigation fees and the fees and disbursements of other professionals) incurred by Landlord in order to determine if the sublease complies with clauses (a) through (d) above, but not the costs of any such arbitration. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 14.9, in no event shall the granting of a Landlord Non-Disturbance Agreement by Landlord to any subtenant be deemed to create any privity of estate between Landlord and such subtenant prior to the date of any such attornment.

Section 14.10. Anything to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding, Tenant may, without the prior written consent of Landlord (but without being released from any liability under this Lease), and without the obligation of Tenant to share any Profit, enter into any of the following transfers (each a "Permitted Transfer"):

(a) the assignment of this Lease or the sublease of the Demised Premises to any successor to the business of Tenant by virtue of a merger, consolidation, corporate reorganization or sale of all or substantially all of Tenant's assets or stock, provided that Landlord shall be given written notice of any such Permitted Transfer under this clause (a) within twenty (20) business days after the effective date of such transaction; and

(b) the assignment of this Lease or the sublease of all or any portion of the Demised Premises to any of Tenant's Affiliates provided that Landlord shall be given written notice of any such Permitted Transfer under this clause (b) within twenty (20) business days after the effective date of such transaction. In the case of a Permitted Transfer pursuant to this clause (b), any subsequent transaction whereby such transferee shall cease to be an Affiliate of Tenant shall constitute an assignment requiring Landlord's prior written consent pursuant to this Article 14, provided however that Landlord shall not have the rights in, and Tenant shall not be obligated to comply with, the provisions of Section 14.3 hereof (provided that such subsequent transaction shall be done for a good business purpose and not primarily for the purpose of circumventing compliance with Section 14.3 hereof).

Section 14.11. No assignment shall be binding on Landlord, and Landlord's consent to any proposed assignment of this Lease shall not be effective until Tenant shall have delivered to Landlord a duly executed and acknowledged original assignment and assumption agreement which shall contain an assumption by the transferee of all of the terms, covenants, conditions and agreements to be observed or performed by the Tenant under this Lease from and after the date of assignment, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord. Landlord's consent to an assignment or a sublease shall not constitute Landlord's consent to any other or further assignment of this Lease or to any further subletting of all or part of the Demised Premises by Tenant or anyone claiming through Tenant (or to the assignment of any sublease) and

shall not relieve Tenant from obtaining the prior written consent of Landlord to any future assignment or sublease and otherwise complying with all of the provisions of this Article 14. No subletting or assignment will release Tenant from any of its obligations under this Lease unless Landlord, in Landlord's sole discretion, agrees to the contrary in writing, and, in the event of a permitted assignment or other transfer (other than a sublease), the assignee or transferee shall be deemed to have assumed all of Tenant's obligations under this Lease accruing from and after the date of such assignment and shall be jointly and severally liable with Tenant for all of the obligations of the Tenant under this Lease from and after the date of assignment. In the event of any permitted assignment of Tenant's interest in this Lease, the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease may be changed, altered or modified in any manner whatsoever by Landlord and the assignee without the consent thereto of assignor Tenant, and no such change, alteration or modification shall release assignor Tenant from the performance by it of any of the terms, covenants and conditions on its part to be performed under this Lease; provided, however that if such change, modification or alteration operates to increase the obligations of the tenant under this Lease, then the liability of the named Tenant shall continue to be no greater than if such changes, modifications or alterations had not been made. Notwithstanding anything in this Article 14 to the contrary, in the event of an assignment of this Lease to Landlord, then Tenant shall be released of all liability and obligation under this Lease, arising or accruing from and after the effective date of such assignment. Consent to one assignment or subletting will not be deemed a consent to any subsequent assignment or subletting. In the event of any default (beyond notice and applicable period of cure) by any assignee or any successor of Tenant in the performance of any Lease obligation, Landlord may proceed directly against Tenant without exhausting remedies against such assignee or successor. Any act or omission of an assignee or subtenant or any person claiming under or through any of them that violates this Lease shall be deemed a violation of this Lease by Tenant. If this Lease shall be assigned or if the Demised Premises shall be sublet or occupied by anyone other than Tenant, whether or not in violation of the provisions of this Lease, then Landlord may collect from the assignee or transferee or, after a Default shall have occurred and be continuing, from the subtenant, and Tenant hereby authorizes and directs such party to pay to Landlord, all Rent, Additional Rent and other charges payable pursuant to such instrument, with the net amount so collected applied to the Minimum Rent, Additional Rent and other charges payable under this Lease, but no such acceptance of Rent by Landlord from any person other than Tenant will be deemed a waiver by Landlord of any provision of this Article 14 or an acceptance by Landlord of the assignee, transferee or subtenant as a tenant, or a release of Tenant from the further performance of the covenants and agreements to be performed by Tenant under this Lease.

Section 14.12. Except as expressly set forth in the following provisions of this Section 14.12, Tenant hereby waives any claim against Landlord which it may have based upon any assertion that Landlord has withheld or delayed any consent under this Article 14, and Tenant agrees that its sole remedy shall be to have the assertion determined by arbitration on the basis provided in Section 14.13 of this Lease. In the event the matter is determined in favor of Tenant, the requested consent shall be deemed to have been granted; however, Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant for its refusal or failure to give such consent unless a court of competent jurisdiction (independently of the findings of any arbitrator) determines in a final judgment not subject to appeal that Landlord's refusal to grant such consent was arbitrary, capricious and in bad faith.

Section 14.13. Anything to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding, if there is a dispute between Landlord and Tenant as to Landlord's disapproval (or deemed disapproval) of any request for consent to any subletting or assignment or any matter subject to arbitration pursuant to Section 14.9, Landlord and Tenant agree to diligently proceed in good faith to have such dispute resolved by arbitration in the City of New York in accordance with the provisions of this Section 14.13. Tenant shall have the right to select a single arbitrator (the "Selected Arbitrator") from the list of approved arbitrators set forth on Schedule J hereto ("Approved Arbitrator List"), provided that at the time of such arbitration, said arbitrator is alive, willing to serve, is independent of both Landlord and Tenant, and is not a member of a firm which is then involved in any litigation against either Landlord or Tenant. Each of Landlord and Tenant shall have the right to add persons to and delete persons from the Approved Arbitrator List provided that (a) there shall be at least five (5) persons listed on the Approved Arbitrator List at all times during the Term and (b) any person added to the Approved Arbitrator List shall be an attorney with at least 10 years experience in Manhattan office leasing for First-Class Office Buildings and shall be independent of both Landlord and Tenant. If Tenant elects to submit such dispute to arbitration pursuant to the terms hereof, Tenant shall deliver written notice simultaneously to Landlord and the Selected Arbitrator. The Selected Arbitrator shall conduct such hearings as such Selected Arbitrator deems appropriate, provided that in any such hearing Tenant shall be permitted to furnish, and the Selected Arbitrator shall be permitted to consider, only the Required Consent Information, and Landlord shall be permitted to furnish, and the Selected Arbitrator shall be permitted to consider, only the Disapproval Grounds. The Selected Arbitrator shall make a determination in writing as to Landlord's reasonableness or unreasonableness in withholding its consent and shall give notice to Landlord and Tenant of such determination within seven (7) Business Days, if at all possible, after Tenant's notice to such Selected Arbitrator. In the event that an arbitral decision is not rendered within such seven (7) Business Day period as a result of any request for adjournment or extension by Landlord, Landlord's consent to the assignment or subletting in question shall be deemed to be granted, it being acknowledged that the granting of such expedited arbitration was a material inducement to Tenant entering into this Lease and that it is the express intention of the parties that time shall be of the essence with respect to the seven (7) Business Day period provided therefor. The costs and expenses of arbitration shall be borne by the non-prevailing party. In rendering his or her decision, the Selected Arbitrator shall have no power to vary, modify or amend any provision of this Lease and shall be bound by the provisions of Section 14.4(a) hereof. The decision of the Selected Arbitrator shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties for all purposes of this Lease, and judgment thereon may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Section 14.14. If this Lease is assigned to any person or entity pursuant to the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, any and all monies or other consideration payable or otherwise to be delivered in connection with such assignment shall be paid or delivered to Landlord, shall be and remain the exclusive property of Landlord and shall not constitute property of Tenant or of the estate of Tenant within the meaning of the Bankruptcy Code. Any and all monies or other consideration constituting Landlord's property under the preceding sentence not paid or delivered to Landlord shall be held in trust for the benefit of Landlord and shall be promptly paid to or turned over to Landlord.

(a) Any person or entity to which this Lease is assigned pursuant to the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code shall be deemed without further act or deed to have assumed

all of the obligations arising under this Lease on and after the date of such assignment. Any such assignee shall execute and deliver to Landlord upon demand an instrument confirming such assumption. No assignment of this Lease shall relieve Tenant of its obligations hereunder and, subsequent to any assignment, Tenant's liability hereunder shall continue notwithstanding any subsequent modification or amendment hereof or the release of any subsequent tenant hereunder from any liability, to all of which Tenant hereby consents in advance.

(b) If Tenant assumes this Lease and proposes to assign the same pursuant to the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code to any person or entity who shall have made a bona fide offer to accept an assignment of this Lease on terms acceptable to Tenant, then notice of such proposed assignment shall be given to Landlord by Tenant no later than twenty (20) days after receipt by Tenant, but in any event no later than ten (10) days prior to the date that Tenant shall make application to a court of competent jurisdiction for authority and approval to enter into such assignment and assumption. Such notice shall set forth (a) the name and address of such person or entity, (b) all of the terms and conditions of such offer, and (c) adequate assurance of future performance by such person or entity under the Lease as set forth in Section 14.l4(c) below, including, without limitation, the assurance referred to in Section 365(b)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code. Landlord shall have the prior right and option, to be exercised by notice to Tenant given at any time prior to the effective date of such proposed assignment, to accept an assignment of this Lease upon the same terms and conditions and for the same consideration, if any, as the bona fide offer made by such person or entity, less any brokerage commissions which would otherwise be payable by Tenant out of the consideration to be paid by such person or entity in connection with the assignment of this Lease.

(c) The term "adequate assurance of future performance" as used in this Lease shall mean that any proposed assignee shall, among other things, (i) deposit with Landlord on the assumption of this Lease the sum of the then annual Minimum Rent as security for the faithful performance and observance by such assignee of the terms and obligations of this Lease, which sum shall be held as security by Landlord, (ii) furnish Landlord with financial statements of such assignee for the prior three (3) fiscal years, as finally determined after an audit and certified as correct by a certified public accountant, which financial statements shall show a net worth of at least six (6) times the then Minimum Rent for each of such three (3) years, (c) grant to Landlord a security interest in such property of the proposed assignee as Landlord shall deem necessary to secure such assignee's future performance under this Lease, and (d) provide such other information or take such action as Landlord, in its reasonable judgment shall determine is necessary to provide adequate assurance of the performance by such assignee of its obligations under the Lease.

(d) If, at any time after the originally named Tenant herein may have assigned Tenant's interest in this Lease, this Lease shall be disaffirmed or rejected in any proceeding of the types described in Section 17.1(b) hereof, or in any similar proceeding, or in the event of termination of this Lease by reason of any such proceeding or by reason of lapse of time following notice of termination given pursuant to said Article 17 based upon any of the events of default set forth in such Section 17.1(b), any prior tenant, including, without limitation, the originally named Tenant, upon request of Landlord given within thirty (30) days next following any 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 (1) pay to Landlord all Minimum Rent, Additional Rent and other items due and owing by the assignee to Landlord under this Lease to and including the date of such disaffirmance, rejection or termination, and (2) as "tenant", enter into a new lease with Landlord of the Demised Premises for a term commencing on the effective date of such disaffirmance, rejection or termination and ending on the date set forth in this Lease for the expiration of the term hereof, unless sooner terminated as in such lease provided, at the same Minimum Rent and Additional Rent and upon the then executory terms, covenants and conditions as are contained in this Lease, except that (a) Tenant's rights under the new lease shall be subject to the possessory rights of the assignee under this Lease and the possessory rights of any person claiming through or under such assignee or by virtue of any statute or of any order of any court, (b) such new lease shall require all defaults existing under this Lease to be cured by Tenant with due diligence, and (c) such new lease shall require Tenant to pay all escalated rent reserved in this Lease which, had this Lease not been so disaffirmed, rejected or terminated, would have accrued under the provisions hereof after the date of such disaffirmance, rejection or termination with respect to any period prior thereto. If any such prior Tenant shall default in its obligation to enter into said new lease for a period of ten (10) days next 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 Tenant as if such 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 Tenant's default thereunder.

Section 14.15. IDA. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, Tenant shall have the right, upon not less than seven (7) days prior written notice to Landlord, but without the prior consent of Landlord, to sublease all or a portion of the Demised Premises (the "IDA Premises") to the IDA and, together with its affiliates, to sub-sublease back from the IDA the IDA Premises. No such sublease or sub-sublease shall (a) be subject to Landlord's right of first offer or recapture pursuant to Section 14.3 hereof, or (b) be subject to any sharing of Profit pursuant to Section 14.4(e) hereof.

Counsel for Tenant's insurer are hereby deemed approved, unless Tenant has a right to approve such counsel, in which event Landlord or IDA, as applicable, shall also have the right to approve such counsel, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

Section 15.3. Indemnity by Landlord.

ARTICLE 16

CONDEMNATION

Section 16.1. Total Taking. In the event of the Taking of the entire Building, this Lease and the terms 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"), and Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord for, or make any claim for, the value of any unexpired term of this Lease, and the Minimum Rent and Additional Rent shall be apportioned as of such date.

Section 16.2. Partial Taking.

(a) In the event of a Taking which does not result in a termination of this Lease pursuant to Sections 16.1 or 16.3, this Lease shall terminate and expire with respect only to the portion of the Demised Premises so taken, on and as of the date of taking. In all other respects this Lease shall remain in full force and effect except that Tenant shall be entitled, after such date, to a reduction in the Minimum Rent in the proportion which the area of the Demised Premises so taken bears to the total area of the Demised Premises at the time of such Taking.

(b) The award or awards paid as a result of such Taking shall be divided and distributed in the following order of priority:

(i) Landlord and Tenant shall be entitled to all expenses incurred by them in connection with such Taking, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses; and

(ii) If the remainder of the proceeds without interest shall be in an amount of $10,000,000.00 or less, such proceeds shall be paid to Tenant, in trust, for application by Tenant to the Restoration of the Improvements, or, if the proceeds are in an amount in excess of $10,000,000.00, the entire proceeds shall be paid to and deposited with Landlord. If Landlord shall receive proceeds, it shall upon the request of Tenant deliver to Tenant a certificate stating that such proceeds have been deposited with Landlord pursuant to the requirements of this Lease.

(c) Tenant, at its sole cost and expense and whether or not the proceeds shall be sufficient for the purpose, shall proceed, within forty (40) days after such Taking, with

diligence and continuity, to repair, alter (including any necessary demolition and reconstruction) and restore the remaining part of the Building to substantially its former condition, so as to constitute a complete structure suitable for the purposes the Building is being used for as of the date hereof. All repairs, alterations, restorations or demolition conducted by Tenant as a result of a partial Taking, including temporary repairs for the protection of the Improvements or other property pending the completion thereof, are referred to in this Lease as the "Partial Restoration".

(d) The conditions under which the Partial Restoration is to be performed and the method of proceeding with and performing the same shall be governed by all of the provisions of Article 9; and the cost of the Restoration shall include the reasonable fees of the Construction Manager.

(e) If the proceeds arc deposited with Landlord, Landlord shall hold, apply, make available and pay over to Tenant the proceeds in the same manner as is provided for Landlord with respect to Casualty Proceeds under the provisions of Article 9 (except that no Voluntary Alterations shall be made with such condemnation proceeds) and upon the completion and payment of the cost of the Partial Restoration, the balance of the proceeds held by Landlord may be retained by Landlord.

Section 16.3. Termination Upon Partial Taking.

(a) In the event of a Taking of less than the entire Demised Premises (i) Tenant may elect to cancel this Lease (A) in the event the area remaining following the Taking shall not be sufficient, in the reasonable judgment of Tenant, to enable Tenant to continue the operation of its business therein in substantially the manner in which such business was being conducted immediately prior to such Taking, or (B) if such Taking materially adversely impairs the means of access to the Building or the entrances or lobby of the South Building, or (ii) Landlord may elect to terminate this Lease if in the reasonable judgment of Landlord and as a result of a Taking of a portion of the Building, the Building could not be operated in an economically viable manner, provided that the party entitled to cancel the Lease serves the other party with a notice of election to cancel not later than ninety (90) days after the date of taking. Upon the giving of such notice, this Lease shall terminate on the thirtieth (30th) day following the date of receipt of such notice and the Minimum Rent and Additional Rent shall be apportioned as of the date of taking, with respect to the portion of the Demised Premises taken, and as of such termination date with respect to the remainder of the Demised Premises.

(b) In the event a partial taking shall occur in the last two (2) years of the Term, either Landlord or Tenant, irrespective of the area of the space remaining, may elect to cancel this Lease and the Term hereby granted, provided such party shall have, within ninety (90) days after such taking, given notice to that effect to the other party and, upon the receipt of such notice, the Minimum Rent and Additional Rent shall be apportioned and paid to the date of expiration of the Term specified and this Lease and the Term hereby granted shall cease, expire and come to an end upon the expiration of the ninety (90) days specified in said notice, provided, however, that neither Landlord nor Tenant shall have the right to cancel this Lease if, prior to the end of such ninety (90) day period, Tenant shall have delivered to Landlord notice of its irrevocable election to thereafter extend this Lease pursuant to Article 29 hereof, in which event

neither Landlord nor Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease other than on the basis set forth in Section 16.3(a) of this Lease.

Section 16.4. Awards. In the event that this Lease is terminated pursuant to Section 16.1 or 16.3, Landlord shall be entitled to receive the entire award and compensation for the Taking, without deduction for any estate vested in Tenant by this Lease (or any value attributable thereto). Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord any and all right, title and interest which the Tenant may have in or to any such award and compensation (other than Tenant's claim for statutory moving expenses, if any); and Tenant agrees to execute and file any and all applications, statements, documents, and instruments necessary or desirable to facilitate Landlord's collection of any such award and compensation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 16.4, Tenant shall have the right, at its sole cost and expense, to prosecute a direct claim against a condemning authority for the value of any fixtures or equipment furnished or installed in the Demised Premises by Tenant and for Tenant's moving expenses; provided, however, that no such claim shall diminish or otherwise adversely affect any award(s) made for the Land and/or the Improvements. In the event that Tenant is not permitted to make a separate claim for such items in such proceeding, Landlord shall prosecute all claims in such proceeding on behalf of both Landlord and Tenant, in which event Tenant may, if it so elects and at its expense, join with Landlord in such proceeding, retain co-counsel, attend hearings, present arguments and generally participate in the conduct of the proceeding; provided, however, that, if Landlord incurs any additional expense because of Tenant's exercising its rights under this sentence, Tenant will bear such additional expense.

Section 16.5. Temporary Taking. In the event of a Taking of the whole or any part of the Demised Premises or of Tenant's interest in this Lease for a temporary use or occupancy, the Term of this Lease shall not be reduced or affected in any way and Tenant shall continue to pay in full the Rent and other charges herein reserved, without reduction or abatement, in the manner and at the times herein specified and, except only to the extent that Tenant is prevented from so doing pursuant to the terms of the order of the condemning authority, Tenant shall continue to perform and observe all of the other terms of this Lease as though such temporary taking had not occurred. However, Tenant shall be entitled to the portion of the award or compensation for such temporary Taking (after subtraction of all necessary and proper expenses of collection incurred by Landlord) equal to the Rents payable hereunder during the period covered, together with such additional reasonable and actual expenses as Tenant incurs in connection with relocation to alternate space for the period of such temporary Taking. The balance of the award and compensation shall be payable to Landlord. In addition, Landlord shall be entitled to collect from such award the total estimated cost of restoring the Demised Premises after the termination of such temporary use, which amount shall be made available to Tenant when and if, during the Term of this Lease, Tenant shall obtain possession and shall proceed with restoring the same as nearly as possible to the conditions which the Demised Premises were immediately prior to such temporary Taking, with such changes and alterations as Tenant may elect to make at its own expense in conformity with the provisions of Article 9.

Section 16.6. Arbitration. If the order or decree in any condemnation or similar proceedings shall fail to determine the separate amounts to be awarded to those who are entitled to such amounts hereunder, and if Landlord and Tenant do not agree thereon within thirty (30) days after the final award or awards shall have been fixed and determined, such separate amounts

shall be determined by arbitration, but the arbitrators shall be bound by the provisions of this Article 16 in the division of such award or awards.

Section 16.7. Interest on Proceeds. Those who are entitled to share in any proceeds pursuant to this Article 16 shall be entitled to any interest paid on the award or awards received by them or applied for their amount.

Section 16.8. Right to Appear. Landlord and Tenant shall each have the right, at their own expense, to appear in any condemnation proceeding and to participate in any and all hearings, trials and appeals therein.

Section 16.9. Notice. In the event Landlord or Tenant shall receive notice of any proposed or pending Taking affecting the Building, the party receiving such notice shall promptly notify the other party of the receipt and contents thereof.

REMEDIES OF LANDLORD: WAIVER OF REDEMPTION

Section 18.1. In ease of any such re-entry, expiration and/or dispossession by summary proceedings or other legal proceedings as set forth in Article 17 hereof (a) the rent shall become due thereupon and be paid up to the time of such re-entry, expiration and/or dispossession, together with such expenses as Landlord may reasonably incur for legal expenses, reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, brokerage fees, and/or putting the Demised Premises into the condition in which Tenant would have been obligated to deliver the Demised Premises on the Expiration Date; (b) Landlord may re-let the Demised Premises or any part or parts thereof, either in the name of Landlord or otherwise, for a term or terms which may at Landlord's option be less than or exceed the period which would otherwise have constituted the balance of the term of this Lease and may grant concessions or free rent; and/or (c) Tenant shall, in addition to the other rights and remedies Landlord has, or may claim by virtue of any other provision contained herein or by virtue of any statute or rule of law, also pay Landlord as liquidated damages (and not as a penalty) for the failure of Tenant to observe and perform said Tenant's covenants, agreements, terms, provisions and conditions herein contained: (y) any deficiency between the rent hereby reserved and/or covenanted to be paid and the net amount, if any, of the rents collected on account of the Lease or leases of the Demised Premises (or, in the event that Landlord or any Affiliate of Landlord, at its or their option but without any obligation to do so, re-occupies any portion of the Demised Premises, the fair market rental value attributable to the portion of the Demised Premises so occupied for the period of such occupancy) for each month of the period which would otherwise have constituted the balance of the term of this Lease, or, at Landlord's option, but in lieu of any other damages which may otherwise be recoverable by Landlord hereunder with respect to the loss of the benefit of Landlord's bargain, (z) a sum which at the time of such termination of this Lease or at the time of any such re-entry by Landlord, as the case may be, represents the then present value of the excess (employing a discount factor equal to the Treasury Rate, as such term is hereinafter defined), if any, of (i) the aggregate amount

of the Minimum Rent and the Additional Rent which would have been payable by Tenant (conclusively presuming the average monthly Additional Rent to be the same as were payable for the last twelve (12) calendar months, or if fewer than twelve (12) calendar months have then elapsed from the Effective Date, all of the calendar months following the Effective Date) for the period commencing with such earlier termination of this Lease or the date of any such re-entry, as the case may be, and ending with the date contemplated as the expiration date hereof if this Lease had not so terminated or if Landlord had not so re-entered the Demised Premises, over (ii) the aggregate fair market rental value of the Demised Premises for the same period. The failure or refusal of Landlord to re-let the Demised Premises or any part or parts thereof shall not release or affect Tenant's liability for damages. In computing such liquidated damages there shall be added to the said deficiency such actual out-of-pocket expenses as Landlord may reasonably incur in connection with re-letting, such as legal expenses, reasonable fees, brokerage fees and for keeping the Demised Premises in good order or for preparing the same re-letting. Any liquidated damages payable to clause (y) of this Section 18.1 shall be paid in monthly installments by Tenant on the rent days specified in this Lease and any suit brought to collect the amount of the deficiency for any month shall not prejudice in any way the rights of Landlord to collect the deficiency for any subsequent month by a similar proceeding. Landlord, at Landlord's option, may make such alterations, repairs, replacements and/or decorations in the Demised Premises as Landlord, in Landlord's reasonable judgment, considers advisable and necessary for the purpose of re-letting the Demised Premises; and the making of such alterations and/or decorations shall not operate or be construed to release Tenant from liability hereunder as aforesaid. Landlord shall in no event be liable in any way whatsoever for failure or refusal to re-let the Demised Premises or any parts thereof, or, in the event that the Demised Premises are re-let, for failure to collect the rent thereof under such re-letting. For purposes hereof, the term "Treasury Rate" shall mean the yield in percent per annum of the Treasury Constant Maturities for ten (10) year terms as published in document H.15 (519) (presently published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System titled "Federal Reserve Statistical Release") for the calendar week immediately preceding the calendar week in which the Treasury Rate is to be determined. If the publishing of the yield of Treasury Constant Maturities is ever discontinued, then the Treasury Rate shall be based upon the index which the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System publishes in replacement or, if no such replacement index is published, the index which, in Landlord's reasonable determination, most nearly corresponds to the yield of the Treasury Constant Maturities.

Section 18.2. Tenant hereby expressly waives any and all rights of redemption granted by or under any present or future laws in the event of Tenant's being evicted or dispossessed for any cause, or in the event of Landlord's obtaining possession of the Demised Premises, by reason of the violation by Tenant of any of the covenants, terms, provisions and conditions of this Lease or otherwise (beyond applicable notice and grace periods).

Section 18.3. Suit or suits for the recovery of such damages, or any installments thereof, may be brought by Landlord from time to time at its election, and nothing contained herein shall be deemed to require Landlord to postpone suit until the date when the term of this Lease would have expired if it had not been so terminated under the provisions of Article 17 or under any provision of law, or had Landlord not re-entered the Demised Premises. Except as expressly set forth in Section 18.1 hereof, nothing herein contained shall be construed to limit or preclude recovery by Landlord or Tenant against the other of any sums or damages to which, in addition to the damages particularly provided herein, such party may lawfully recover.

Section 18.4. In the event of a breach or threatened breach by either Landlord or Tenant of any of the covenants, agreements, terms, provisions and conditions hereof, the non-breaching party shall have the right to seek an injunction and the right to invoke any remedy allowed at law or in equity, and the mention in this law of any particular remedy shall not preclude Landlord or Tenant from any other remedy, at law or in equity, except as expressly set forth in Section 18.1 hereof and except for consequential and punitive damage, which consequential and punitive damages Landlord and Tenant each hereby waive and release.

Section 18.5. Right to Perform. If Tenant shall fail to pay any Imposition or make any other payment required to be made under this Lease or shall default in the performance of any other covenant, agreement, term, provision or condition herein contained, Landlord, without being under any obligation to do so and without thereby waiving such failure or default, may make such payment or remedy such other default for the account and at the expense of Tenant, immediately and without notice in the case of emergency, or in any other case provided Tenant shall fail to make such payment or remedy such default within the applicable grace period specified in Section 17.1 after Landlord shall have notified Tenant of such failure or default. Bills for any expense incurred by Landlord in connection therewith, and bills for all costs, expenses and disbursements of every kind and nature, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, involved in collection or endeavoring to enforce any right against Tenant, under or in connection with this Lease, or pursuant to law, including, without limitation, any such costs, expenses and disbursements involved in instituting and prosecuting summary proceedings, as well as bills for any property, material, labor or services provided, furnished or rendered, or caused to be furnished or rendered, by Landlord to Tenant with respect to the Demised Premises and other equipment and construction work done for the account of Tenant (together with interest at the Interest Rate from the respective dates of Landlord's making of each such payment or incurring of each such cost or expense), may be sent by Landlord to Tenant monthly, or immediately, at Landlord's option, and shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms of such bills and if not paid when due the amount thereof shall immediately become due and payable as Additional Rent under this Lease.

ARTICLE 19

SURRENDER

Section 19.1. Condition on Surrender. Upon the expiration or sooner termination of the Term of this Lease, Tenant shall surrender the Demised Premises, broom clean to the possession and use of Landlord without delay and, except for reasonable wear and tear and damage by fire, the elements or other casualty and condemnation, in good order, condition and repair for premises of the type, class and character of the Demised Premises, free and clear of all subtenants, lettings and occupancies other than those with respect to which Landlord has executed a non-disturbance agreement which is still in effect and of all liens and encumbrances other than those, if any, to which this Lease is now subject or which may hereafter be created or consented to by Landlord or any person claiming under or through Landlord, other than Tenant or any person claiming under or through Tenant.

Section 19.2. Removal of Specialty Alterations.

(a) Landlord shall have the right to elect to have Tenant remove some or all of Tenant's Specialty Alterations by giving written notice to Tenant no earlier than twenty four (24) months prior to the Expiration Date and no later than twelve (12) months prior to the Expiration Date. Upon such written request to Tenant, Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, remove such Specialty Alterations on or before the Expiration Date or sooner termination of this Lease, restore the Demised Premises to the condition existing prior to the installation of such Specialty Alterations and repair all damage to the Demised Premises, if any, resulting from such removal. Landlord shall also have the right (without giving the aforesaid notice) to remove any such Specialty Alterations within six months after the Expiration Date or sooner termination of the Term. In the event Landlord so removes such Specialty Alterations, the reasonable cost of such removal and of restoring the Demised Premises to the condition existing prior to the installation of such Specialty Alterations and repairing all damage to the Demised Premises, if any, resulting from such removal shall be paid by Tenant within thirty (30) days after written demand therefor.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have the right to submit to Landlord plans and specifications for any Voluntary Alteration (whether or not Landlord's approval thereof is required under Article 9 hereof) and request that Landlord deliver to Tenant notice (the "Alteration Notice") stating whether or not such Voluntary Alteration constitutes a Specialty Alteration which Tenant would be required to remove (or Landlord could remove at Tenant's expense) pursuant to Section 19.2(a). If Landlord shall have failed to respond to Tenant's request for an Alteration Notice within twenty (20) Business Days after Tenant shall have submitted Tenant's written request therefor together with all applicable plans and specifications, then Tenant shall have the right to give to Landlord a second notice (a "Second Alteration Request"), and if Landlord shall fail to respond to such Second Alteration Request within five (5) Business Days after Landlord's receipt thereof, then Landlord shall be deemed to have determined that such Specialty Alteration need not be removed at the end of the Term, provided and on condition that the Second Alteration Request shall specifically refer to this Section 19.2(b) and shall state in bold uppercase letters on the first page thereof: "LANDLORD SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE DETERMINED THAT THE ALTERATION DESCRIBED IN THE SUBMITTED PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS NEED NOT BE REMOVED AT THE END OF THE TERM IF LANDLORD FAILS TO DELIVER A NOTICE TO TENANT STATING WHETHER OR NOT TENANT WILL BE REQUIRED TO REMOVE SUCH ALTERATION WITHIN FIVE (5) BUSINESS DAYS AFTER THIS NOTICE SHALL HAVE BEEN GIVEN TO LANDLORD." If Landlord delivers an Alteration Notice stating that the proposed Tenant Alteration is a Specialty Alteration which must be removed at or prior to the Expiration Date or sooner termination of this Lease, Landlord shall not be required to deliver the notice set forth in Section 19.2(a) with respect to such Tenant Alteration, and Tenant shall be required to remove such Specialty Alteration in accordance with Section 19.2(a). As of the date hereof, none of the Alterations for which Tenant has delivered to Landlord plans and specifications constitute Specialty Alterations. The storefront installed pursuant to the sublease dated March 18, 2003 between Tenant and Walgreen Eastern Co. Inc. does not constitute a Specialty Alteration.

Section 19.3. Fixtures, etc. Tenant shall remove its furniture, trade fixtures and trade equipment (not constituting part of the Demised Premises) and other personal property at or

prior to the expiration or termination of this Lease and shall promptly repair any damage due to such removal.

Section 19.4. Abandonment of Personal Property. Any personal property of Tenant which shall remain in the Demised Premises after the termination of this Lease may, at the option of Landlord, be deemed to have been abandoned by Tenant and either may be retained by Landlord as its property or be disposed of without accountability in such manner as Landlord may determine. Landlord shall not, at any time, be responsible for any loss or damage occurring to any property owned by Tenant except to the extent caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or any of Landlord's agents, contractors, employees or servants.

Section 19.5. Intentionally omitted.

Section 19.6. Survival. The provisions of this Article 19 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease.

ARTICLE 20

CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY

Section 20.1. To the best of Landlord's knowledge, attached to the Original Lease as Schedule K is a photocopy of the certificate of occupancy for the Building as of February 22, 2001. Pursuant to Section 9.6(e) of the Original Lease and Section 9.6(e) hereof, Tenant was and is responsible for renewing the temporary certificate of occupancy for the South Building. Tenant will not at any time use or occupy the Demised Premises in violation of the certificate of occupancy issued for the Building. Tenant may, from time to time, with the prior consent of Landlord, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, modify the certificate of occupancy for the Demised Premises provided the same (i) does not permit uses other than those permitted under Article 6 of this Lease, (ii) does not adversely affect the use and occupancy of the balance of the Building, and (iii) does not result in Landlord having to perform any additions, alterations or improvements to the balance of the Building to comply with any Legal Requirement which would not have been applicable if the certificate of occupancy remained unmodified. Landlord shall not do anything to prevent the issuance of, or cause the loss or revocation of, a certificate of occupancy for the Building permitting the use thereof for office use or the Retail Space for retail use. Landlord shall not amend the certificate of occupancy for the Tower to change the use thereof. If either party's execution alone would not be sufficient to obtain a certificate of occupancy or amendment thereto for which such party may be permitted to obtain or is legally required to obtain, the other party shall, upon request by the party seeking such certificate or amendment thereto, promptly execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) all factually correct and lawful applications and consents required by Legal Requirements and/or Insurance Requirements to be filed in order to enable such certificate of occupancy or amendments thereto to be obtained, provided the party requested to sign the same thereby incurs no liability or expense which is not reimbursed.

ARTICLE 21

ARBITRATION

Section 21.1. Selection of Arbitrator. Whenever in this Lease it is provided that a dispute shall or may be submitted to or be determined by arbitration, the arbitration shall be conducted as provided in this Article 21.

In deciding the dispute, the arbitrator shall act in accordance with the rules then in force of the American Arbitration Association, subject, however, to such limitations as may be placed upon them by the provisions of this Lease, In the event that the American Arbitration Association or a nationally recognized successor shall not then be in existence, the arbitration shall proceed under the provisions of another generally recognized arbitration association selected by Tenant and reasonably approved by Landlord. Landlord and Tenant shall be entitled to present evidence and argument to the arbitrator. The decision of the arbitrator shall be conclusive upon the parties for all purposes of this Lease, and judgment thereon may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Section 21.2. Matters Arbitrable. The rights and/or obligations of Landlord and Tenant to submit a dispute to arbitration are limited to disputes arising under those provisions of this Lease which specifically provide for arbitration.

ARTICLE 22

Landlord and Tenant shall, without charge, at any time and from time to time, within ten (10) business days after request by the other party, deliver a written instrument to the requesting party or any other person, firm or corporation specified by the requesting party, duly executed, stating, as applicable:

(a) that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect or, if there has been any modification, that the same is in full force and effect as modified and stating any such modification;

(d) whether the term of this Lease has commenced and Rent become payable thereunder, and whether Tenant has accepted possession of the Demised Premises and any additional information such party may reasonably request.

If Tenant should fail to deliver the requested estoppel certificate within the foregoing ten (10) business day period, Landlord may serve a second notice on Tenant specifying that Tenant's failure to deliver the same within ten (10) business days of Tenant's receipt of that notice shall at Landlord's option be, and be deemed, a Default under this Lease and any failure by Tenant to deliver the same within such ten (10) business day period shall, at Landlord's option, be deemed to be a Default hereunder.

ARTICLE 24

SUBORDINATION

Section 26.1. Subordination.

(a) When, as and if each Subordination and Non-Disturbance Agreement (and as defined herein) to be entered into under Section 26.1(c) is executed and delivered, this Lease and Tenant's rights hereunder shall be and become subject and subordinate to the applicable mortgages which may hereafter affect the Land and the Improvements (herein referred to as the "Fee Mortgages" or the "Fee Mortgage"), and to all modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof.

(b) The holder of any Fee Mortgage ("Fee Mortgagee") may, elect that this Lease shall have priority over such Mortgage and, upon notification by such Fee Mortgagee to Tenant, this Lease shall be deemed to have priority over such Fee Mortgage, whether this Lease is dated prior, or subsequent, to the date of such Fee Mortgage.

(c) The subordination of this Lease to any Fee Mortgage in accordance with Section 26.1 (a) shall be provided under an agreement executed and delivered by the Fee Mortgagee, and Tenant, and, if reasonably required by such Fee Mortgagee or by Tenant, also by Landlord, and such agreement (each such agreement, while in force, the "Subordination and Non-Disturbance Agreement") shall be in substantially the form annexed hereto as Schedule L and shall be executed by Tenant and returned to Landlord within fifteen (15) business days of Landlord's request therefor, it being understood and agreed that Tenant will agree to such reasonable changes to the Subordination and Non-Disturbance Agreement requested by the Fee Mortgagee, provided such changes (i) do not affect Tenant's rights or obligations under this Lease except to a de minimis extent, (ii) do not increase Tenant's financial obligations under this Lease and (iii) do not shorten or lengthen the Term.

Section 26.2. Attornment.

(a) If Landlord's interest in the Demised Premises is encumbered by a Fee Mortgage and such Fee Mortgage is foreclosed, or Landlord's interest in the Demised Premises is acquired by deed in lieu of foreclosure or if Landlord's interest in the Demised Premises is sold pursuant to such foreclosure or by reason of a default under said Fee Mortgage, then notwithstanding such foreclosure, such acquisition by deed in lieu of foreclosure, such sale, or such default, but subject to the provisions of any Subordination and Non-Disturbance Agreement with such Fee Mortgagee (i) Tenant shall not disaffirm this Lease or any of its obligations hereunder, and (ii) this Lease shall continue as a direct lease between such applicable Fee Mortgagee, transferee by deed in lieu of foreclosure or purchaser at such foreclosure, as the landlord under this Lease, and Tenant, as the tenant under this Lease.

act or omission to the holder of the Fee Mortgages whose name and address has been supplied to Tenant and which continue in existence and (ii) until a period of thirty (30) days beyond the time available to Landlord under this Lease in which to cure the breach or default by Landlord has elapsed.

It is further mutually agreed that in the event Landlord commences any summary proceeding for nonpayment of rent, Tenant will not interpose and does hereby waive the right to interpose any counterclaim (other than a compulsory counterclaim) in any such proceeding.

Section 27.2. 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, shall not prevent a subsequent act, which would have originally constituted a violation, from having all the force and effect of an original violation. The failure of either party to insist upon the strict performance of any one of the terms of this Lease or to exercise any right, remedy or election herein contained or permitted by law shall not constitute or be construed as a waiver or relinquishment for the future of such term, right, remedy or election, but the same shall continue and remain in full force and effect. All rights or remedies of either party in this Lease specified and all other rights or remedies that either party may have at law, in equity or otherwise upon

breach of any term in this Lease contained upon the part of the other party to be performed, shall be distinct, separate and cumulative rights or remedies and no one of them, whether exercised by such party or not, shall be deemed to be an exclusion of any other. The consent of either party to any act or matter must be in writing and shall apply only with respect to the particular act or matter in which such consent is given and shall not relieve either party from the obligations wherever required under this Lease to obtain the consent of the other party to any other act or matter.

Section 27.3. Acceptance of Rent. Receipt or acceptance of Rent or any part thereof by Landlord shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any breach or Default under the terms of this Lease or of any right which Landlord may be entitled to exercise under this Lease. In the event that Tenant is in arrears in the payment of Rent or any part thereof, Tenant waives Tenant's rights, 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 Landlord may determine notwithstanding any designation or request by Tenant as to the items against which any such payments shall be credited.

Section 27.4. Entire Agreement. This Lease and the Shared Services Agreement contain the entire agreement between Landlord and Tenant and any agreement hereafter made between Landlord and Tenant shall be ineffective to change, modify, release, discharge or terminate the terms hereof in whole or in part, unless such agreement is in writing and signed by the party against which enforcement of such change, modification, waiver, release, discharge or termination is sought.

Section 27.5. No Recourse.

(a) No disclosed or undisclosed officers, shareholders, principals, directors, employees, members or servants of Landlord shall be personally liable for the performance of Landlord's obligations under this Lease. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Tenant's sole recourse for the enforcement of Landlord's obligations hereunder or to satisfy a judgment for Landlord's failure to perform such obligations shall be against the Land and the Improvements (or any Casualty Proceeds or condemnation awards paid to Landlord and not applied to Restoration), and in no event shall any other assets of Landlord be subject to any claim arising herefrom, except for any claim relating to misappropriation by Landlord of, or fraud by Landlord with respect to, any Casualty Proceeds disbursed to, received by or otherwise in Landlord's custody and control.

(b) No disclosed or undisclosed officers, shareholders, principals, directors, employees, members or servants of Tenant shall be personally liable for the performance of Tenant's obligations under this Lease.

Section 27.7. Construction. This Lease shall be construed without regard to any presumption or other rule requiring construction against the party causing this Lease to be drafted.

Unless otherwise specifically provided in this Lease, each covenant, agreement, obligation or other provision of this Lease to be performed by Tenant shall be deemed as a separate and independent covenant of Tenant, not dependent on any other provision of this Lease.

Section 27.8. Consent. Whenever in this Lease Landlord's consent or approval is required not to be unreasonably withheld, if Landlord shall delay or refuse such consent or approval, Tenant in no event shall be entitled to make, nor shall Tenant make, any claim, and Tenant hereby waives any claim, for money damages (nor shall Tenant claim any money damages by way of set-off, counterclaim or defense) based upon any claim or assertion by Tenant that Landlord unreasonably withheld or unreasonably delayed its consent or approval. Tenant's sole remedy shall be an action or proceeding to enforce any such provision by specific performance, injunction or declaratory judgment. The waiver of Tenant's claim and the exculpation of Landlord from liability set forth in the foregoing provisions of this Section 27.8 shall not apply in the event that it is determined in a court of competent jurisdiction by a final, unappealable judicial determination that Landlord's refusal to grant such consent was arbitrary, capricious and in bad faith.

Section 27.9. Invalidity. If any term of this Lease, or the application thereof to any person or circumstances shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Lease, or the application of such term to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each term of this Lease shall be valid and be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Section 27.10. Net Worth.

own use), Tenant shall have the right to extend the term of this Lease with respect to the entire Demised Premises for three (3) successive extension periods of five (5) years each (hereinafter referred to individually as an "Extension Term" and collectively as the "Extension Terms"), the first of which periods (the "First Extension Term") shall commence on the day following the last day of the initial lease term (provided the initial lease term shall not have been theretofore terminated), the second of which periods (the "Second Extension Term") shall commence on the day following the last day of the First Extension Term (provided the First Extension Term shall not have been theretofore terminated) and the third of which periods (the "Third Extension Term") shall commence on the day following the last day of the Second Extension Term (provided the Second Extension Term shall not have been theretofore terminated). The within described options shall be exercisable only in the following manner: Tenant shall, no later than thirty (30) months prior to the last day of the (i) initial term of this Lease, in the case of the First Extension Term, (ii) First Extension Term, in the case of the Second Extension Term and (iii) Second Extension Term, in the case of the Third Extension Term, give to Landlord written notice (the "Exercise Notice"), pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of Article 24 hereof, of Tenant's election to extend this Lease on the covenants, terms, provisions, agreements and conditions as hereinafter provided in Section 29.2 hereof.

If Tenant shall fail to give the Exercise Notice within the 30-day period after the giving of the Reminder Notice, time being of the essence, Tenant's right to extend shall be conclusively deemed to have been waived and the term shall not be extended beyond the then established expiration date provided for under this Lease. At the request of either party following the exercise of an appropriate option to extend, both parties agree to execute a confirmatory agreement confirming the extension and the newly extended expiration date; provided that the failure to execute a confirmatory agreement shall not invalidate Tenant's exercise of its option hereunder.

Section 29.3. Notwithstanding anything hereinbefore contained to the contrary, "fair market rent" shall be determined in accordance with the procedures set forth in Article 30 and shall mean the Minimum Rent that a tenant would pay for the "direct initial" (i.e., non-renewal) lease of the Demised Premises, taking into account (and disregarding, as applicable) the factors described in this Section 29.3 and Section 29.4 hereof, and assuming, subject to this Section 29.3 and Section 29.1 hereof, that the Demised Premises were being hypothetically rented on the open market to a third party in its then "as is" condition (i. e., without any further Landlord's work, rent concessions or construction or other allowance on a direct basis), that the tenant availability for this space is competitive and Landlord has had sufficient time to locate this third party, and that the term of the Lease is fifteen (15) years, not five years.

Section 29.4. Each appraiser selected by Landlord or Tenant and any referee selected pursuant to Section 30.2 of this Lease are hereby directed to include the following (as well as any other factors either of such appraisers or the referee deems relevant) criteria in their respective determinations of fair market rent: (i) the unique physical characteristics of the Building (other than those installed by or on behalf of, or paid for, by Tenant), (ii) the amount of power available to the Building and to Tenant, (iii) the signage and name of the Building, (iv) the size and ceiling heights of the trading floors, if any, (v) the then "as is" condition of the Demised Premises, (vi) the size of the Building and the space occupied by Tenant, (vii) access, location and all other factors unique to the Building, (viii) the fact that no commission or a reduced commission is payable by Landlord and that there is no free rent period or tenant allowance, and (ix) the fact that this Lease is a net lease as described in Section 4.5 hereof (but taking into account the extent to which the costs of certain alterations, improvements and replacements are reimbursable by Landlord to Tenant pursuant to this Lease). In no event, however, shall any appraiser selected by Landlord or Tenant, or any referee selected pursuant to Section 30.2 of this Lease, consider or make any increase or decrease in the fair market rent for the Demised Premises in connection with any of the following factors which shall be disregarded: (1) the additional value of the Demised Premises, if any, based on special quality of Tenant Alterations in the Demised Premises, or any decrease in value as a result of the age or obsolescence of the foregoing items or the wear and tear thereon; (2) the fact that Tenant is an existing tenant then in occupancy exercising a right of extension rather than considering the basis of the transaction to be a new transaction between a new landlord and a new tenant; or (3) the fact that Tenant occupies any other building or space at that time.

In the event Tenant exercises any or all of the extension options set forth in Article 29, then the fair market rent for the applicable Extension Term shall be determined as of the first day of the applicable Extension Term (each of which shall be referred to as a "Computation Date"). In this regard, no earlier than one hundred eighty (180) days and no later than ninety (90) days prior to each Computation Date, which ninety (90) day period is hereinafter referred to as an "Exchange Period", Landlord and Tenant will each submit to the other a statement of their respective determinations of the fair market rent for the Demised Premises (each, an "Original Determination") as of the relevant Computation Date for the applicable Extension Term (hereinafter individually referred to, as the "Computation Period"

and collectively as the "Computation Periods"), which statements shall show how their respective determinations were derived. Each party's determination of the fair market rent shall give due consideration to the rent and Additional Rent (adjusted by all rent and construction allowances, concessions and credits) then being charged by owners (including Landlord) of First-Class Office Buildings and shall give due consideration to the factors set forth in Section 29.3 and 29.4 hereof.

Section 30.2. In the event that after the exchange of the statements as above provided, the parties hereto are unable to agree upon the fair market rent as of the applicable Computation Date for the applicable Computation Period, the parties shall (within fifteen (15) days after the last of the statements was exchanged, but in no event more than fifteen (15) days subsequent to the expiration of the applicable Exchange Period) meet and attempt to agree on the fair market rent as of the applicable Computation Date for the applicable Computation Period. If the parties hereto cannot (within ten (10) days of their first meeting, but in no event later than thirty (30) days subsequent to the expiration of the applicable Exchange Period) agree on the fair market rent as of the applicable Computation Date for the applicable Computation Period, they shall attempt to agree on a referee to determine the matter. The referee must be an MAI of the Appraisal Institute with at least ten (10) years experience in appraising First Class Buildings in the County of New York, New York. If the parties hereto cannot agree on the appointment of a referee within forty-five (45) days subsequent to the expiration of the applicable Exchange Period, either party may request the President of The Real Estate Board of New York, Inc. to appoint a referee meeting the foregoing requirements. If the President of The Real Estate Board of New York, Inc. shall refuse to appoint such referee or if The Real Estate Board of New York, Inc. shall then no longer be in existence, either party hereto on behalf of both, may apply to the Supreme Court in the County of New York for the appointment of such referee, and the other party shall not raise any question as to the Court's full power and jurisdiction to entertain the application and make such appointment. The referee's sole discretion in determining the matter shall be limited to selecting one of the Original Determinations submitted by the parties hereto during the applicable Exchange Period. In other words, the referee cannot submit an independent valuation of his own but must determine the matter solely on which of the Original Determinations submitted by each of the parties hereto during the applicable Exchange Period more closely conforms with his or her valuation of the fair market rent for the applicable Computation Period. The referee's decision, determined as provided in this Article 30 shall be conclusive and binding on the parties, shall constitute an "award" by the referee within the meaning of the American Arbitration Association rules and applicable laws and judgments may be entered and enforced thereon upon the application of either party to the Supreme Court of the County of New York. Each party shall pay its own fees and expenses relating to the engagement of its respective appraisers, counsels and experts, and each party shall pay one-half (¹/2) of the fees and expenses of the referee and, if applicable, the fees and expenses of The Real Estate Board of New York, Inc. in appointing the referee and the fees and expenses involved should either party make application for an order of Judgment for or by the Supreme Court of the Court of New York in connection with the referee's award.

Section 30.3. In the event the computation of the fair market rent under this Article 30 is not determined until after the applicable Computation Date, Tenant shall continue paying the Minimum Rent that had been payable during the last twelve (12) months prior to the applicable Computation Date, and at such time as the Minimum Rent is determined, (i) the

Minimum Rent shall be retroactively adjusted to the applicable Computation Date, (ii) the parties shall (within ten (10) days of written demand made by one or the other for a reconciliation of the Minimum Rent paid by Tenant for the period commencing on the applicable Computation Date through the date preceding the date Tenant commences the payment of the Minimum Rent in the recomputed amount, the "Interim Period") reconcile the amount paid by Tenant for the Interim Period, and if Tenant shall have overpaid for the Interim Period, Landlord shall credit the overage to the next payment of Minimum Rent payable under this Lease (provided that if such overpayment exceeds one (1) month's payment of Minimum as so recomputed, Landlord shall, within ten (10) business days after such reconciliation, pay to Tenant the amount of such overage), and if Tenant shall have underpaid such amount, Tenant shall within ten (10) business days pay the deficiency to Landlord and (iii) commencing on the first day of the month following the month in which the reconciliation referred to in the preceding clause (ii) of this Section 30.3 was made, Tenant shall start making monthly installments of Minimum Rent in the recomputed amount.

RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER

Section 33.1. Landlord agrees that it shall not lease the portion of the Landlord Space located on the 11th floor of the South Building and/or the second (2^nd) floor of the Tower (collectively or individually, the "Offer Space") or any portion thereof unless it has first complied with the terms of Section 33.2 and 33.3. Possession or occupancy of any portion of the Offer Space by one or more of Landlord's Affiliates and/or Landlord's Successor (whether or not pursuant to a written agreement) shall not be deemed or construed to be a lease of the Offer Space hereunder and Landlord shall be permitted to allow, without having to comply with the provisions of Sections 33.2 through 33.4 hereof, Landlord's Affiliates and/or Landlord's Successor to occupy the Offer Space. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of possession or occupancy

of any portion of the Offer Space by Landlord's Affiliates, any subsequent transaction whereby such occupant shall cease to be an Affiliate shall be subject to the provisions of clauses (a) and (b) of Section 33.3 hereof, but shall not be subject to the provisions of Section 33.2 hereof (provided that such subsequent transaction shall be done for a good business purpose and not primarily for the purpose of circumventing compliance with Section 33.2). The Landlord originally named herein (i.e., Metropolitan Life Insurance Company) and any Landlord's Successor shall be permitted to allow, subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease (but without having to comply with the provisions of Sections 33.1, 33.2 and 33.4 hereof), Landlord's Business Associates as hereinafter defined, to occupy portions of the Offer Space on a temporary basis from time to time (it being agreed that the term "temporary" as used in this Section 33.1 shall mean the duration of the ongoing business or professional relationship), provided that the space occupied by Landlord's Business Associates shall not be separately demised from the Landlord Space. "Landlord's Business Associates" shall mean professional and business entities with whom the named Landlord shall have an on-going professional or business relationship. Any tenant of the Landlord originally named herein shall also be permitted to allow its Business Associates to occupy up to fifteen (15%) percent of its leased space, from time to time on a temporary basis provided that the space occupied by such Business Associates shall not be separately demised from such tenant's demised space.

Section 33.2. (a) Prior to Landlord's leasing or sub-subleasing the Offer Space or any portion thereof, Landlord must first present Tenant with a written offer ("Landlord's Offer Notice") to sublease such space to Tenant for occupancy by Tenant or Tenant's Affiliates, as additional space to be included within the Demised Premises. Landlord's Offer Notice shall set forth: (i) the area proposed to be leased, and (ii) the term of the proposed lease (the "Proposed Lease Term") and the date the area to be leased is intended to be vacated by Landlord, which date shall not be less than sixty (60) days after the date Tenant receives Landlord's Offer Notice. Tenant shall have a period of sixty (60) days after its receipt of said Landlord's Offer Notice within which to accept or reject the offer. If Tenant shall fail to respond to Landlord's Offer Notice within such sixty (60) day period, then Landlord shall have the right to give to Tenant a second notice (a "Second Landlord's Offer Notice"), and if Tenant shall fail to respond to such Second Landlord's Offer Notice within ten (10) Business Days after Tenant's receipt thereof, then Tenant shall be deemed to have rejected such offer, provided and on condition that the Second Landlord's Offer Notice shall state in bold uppercase letters on the first page thereof: "TENANT SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE REJECTED THE RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER DESCRIBED IN THIS NOTICE IF TENANT FAILS TO RESPOND WITHIN TEN (10) BUSINESS DAYS AFTER THIS NOTICE SHALL HAVE BEEN GIVEN TO TENANT." If Tenant shall accept such offer, Landlord and Tenant shall execute and deliver an amendment to this Lease to add such portion of the Offer Space within the Demised Premises, which amendment shall provide that the term of such lease shall commence on the later of the following dates (the "Proposed Commencement Date"): (x) the date specified in Landlord's Offer Notice and (y) the date which is sixty (60) days after the date of delivery of Landlord's Offer Notice to Tenant, and shall be for the term specified in Landlord's Offer Notice and for the rents and on the terms and conditions set forth in Sections 33.2(b) or 33.2(c) hereof. In the event Tenant does not acquire all of the space on a floor, Tenant (at Landlord's sole cost and expense) will do all the work necessary to physically separate the portion of the Offer Space on such floor (so added to the Demised Premises under this Lease) from the portion of the floor so retained by Landlord, which work shall include, without limitation, the erection of a demising wall between the portion

104

of the Offer Space so surrendered to Tenant and the balance of the Offer Space on such floor retained by Landlord. In addition, in the event the portion of the Offer Space so surrendered to Tenant does not have direct access to a public corridor in the Building or to an elevator bank serving such surrendered portion, Landlord, shall, and will at all times, provide and permit reasonably appropriate means of ingress to and egress from and access across and through the balance of the Offer Space retained by Landlord, provide and permit appropriate use of the elevators serving such surrendered portion, including access across lobby and corridor areas.

(b) If Tenant shall accept the offer set forth in Section 33.2(a) hereof to add such space to the Demised Premises under this Lease in the case of a proposed lease of all or any portion of the Offer Space for the remainder of the Term, such space shall be included as part of the Demised Premises under this Lease as of the date of delivery of such space on all the terms and conditions of this Lease, including without limitation the payment of Minimum Rent and Additional Rent. At the request of either party, Tenant and Landlord shall execute and deliver an instrument or instruments in form reasonably satisfactory to the other, setting forth any modifications to this Lease, contemplated in or resulting from the operation of the provisions of the foregoing clause; however, neither Tenant's nor Landlord's failure to execute or deliver any such instruments shall vitiate the effect of the provisions of such foregoing clause.

(c) If Tenant shall accept the offer set forth in Section 33.2 hereof to add such space to the Demised Premises under this Lease in the case of a proposed lease of all or any portion of the Offer Space for less than the remainder of the Term, such space shall be included as part of the Demised Premises under this Lease as of the date of delivery of such space on all the terms and conditions of this Lease, including without limitation the payment of Minimum Rent and Additional Rent. At the request of either party, Tenant and Landlord shall execute and deliver an instrument or instruments in form reasonably satisfactory to the other, setting forth any modifications to this Lease, contemplated in or resulting from the operation of the provisions of the foregoing clause; however, neither Tenant's nor Landlord's failure to execute or deliver any such instruments shall vitiate the effect of the provisions of such foregoing clause. Upon the expiration of the Proposed Lease Term, Tenant shall deliver such space back to the Landlord in good order and condition with all Specialty Alterations installed by Tenant therein having been removed to the extent required to be removed under this Lease. At the request of either party, Tenant and Landlord shall execute and deliver an instrument or instruments in form reasonably satisfactory to the other setting forth any modifications to this Lease resulting from the operation of the provisions of this paragraph (c); however, neither Tenant's nor Landlord's failure to execute or deliver any such instruments shall vitiate the effect of the provisions of this paragraph (c).

Section 33.3. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, if Tenant shall reject (or shall be deemed to reject) the offer set forth in Section 33.2(a) hereof to add the Offer Space or any portion thereof to the Demised Premises under this Lease and Landlord shall thereafter lease the Offer Space (or any portion thereof) and the rent payable under such sublease exceeds the Assumed Rent for such space on a prorated basis (determined on a per square foot basis), Landlord shall pay to Tenant fifty (50%) percent of the Landlord Profit, as such term is hereinafter defined. Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a duplicate original of the lease no later than ten (10) Business Days after the effective date thereof. Payments of Landlord Profit hereunder by Landlord to Tenant shall not be deemed to be part of "Total Income" of Tenant

105

allocable to such Offer Space for purposes of calculating "Profit" pursuant to Section 14.4 of this Lease,

(b) The term "Landlord Profit" shall mean the excess, if any, of (i) the rentals actually received by Landlord under any lease of the Offer Space (it being understood that the rentals actually received under any lease shall include sums paid for the sale or rental of Landlord's fixtures, leasehold improvements, equipment, furniture or other personal property, loss, (A) in the case of the sale thereof, the then net unamortized or undepreciated cost thereof determined on the basis of Landlord's federal income tax returns, and (B) in the case of the rental thereof, the then net unamortized cost thereof, amortized over the useful life of such item(s), and any other consideration actually received by Landlord under such lease (other than payments in the nature of reimbursements for amounts payable to third parties such as indemnity payments) ("Total Lease Income")), over (ii) the sum ("Landlord's Total Cost") of (x) the Assumed Rent for such Offer Space, and (y) Landlord's Transaction Costs, as hereinafter defined, and (z) any Landlord Carryover Credit, as hereinafter defined. The term "Landlord's Transaction Costs" shall mean and include all actual reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Landlord consistent with the then market requirements in effectuating the lease, including, without being limited to, reasonable marketing expenses, real estate transfer taxes, sales taxes and taxes of like import imposed in connection with the transaction, brokerage commissions, attorney's fees and disbursements, remodeling and redecorating costs, rent paid during any free-rent periods and takeover costs and expenses. In computing Landlord Profits, the Total Lease Income, as and when received by Landlord, shall first be offset against Landlord's Transaction Costs, as and when incurred or paid by Landlord on the basis hereinafter provided, until Landlord has recovered Landlord's Total Costs. The Total Lease Income, as and when received, less such Landlord's Total Cost as may be paid or incurred by Landlord on the basis herein provided shall constitute Landlord Profit, If at any time a prior lease shall have resulted in a net loss to Landlord with respect to such lease (i.e., the total of the items included in clauses (x) and (y) of this Section 33.3(b) paid for the duration of such lease exceeds the Total Lease Income received under the terms thereof), such net loss, to the extent theretofore incurred (a "Landlord Carryover Credit", shall be carried over and applied to other then existing or succeeding transactions, it being understood that in no event shall Tenant ever be required to refund or credit to Landlord any sums previously paid or determined to be owing to Tenant for prior determinations of Landlord Profit in respect of earlier leases.

Tenant may, not more than twice during each Operating Year, furnish to Landlord a revised statement of Tenant's estimate of the Operating Payment for such Operating Year, based upon the method set forth in Section 8.03 for computing the Operating Payment; and in such case, the Operating Payment for such Operating Year shall be

117

adjusted and paid or refunded, as the case may be, substantially in the same manner as provided in the preceding sentence.

Section 35.5. Within one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of each Operating Year, Tenant shall furnish to Landlord an Operating Statement for such Operating Year, based on the method set forth in Section 35.3 for computing the Operating Payment and certified by a reputable independent certified public accountant selected by Tenant, and reasonably approved by Landlord setting forth in reasonable detail the actual Operating Expenses incurred by Tenant during such Operating Year. If the Operating Statement shall show that the sums paid by Landlord under Section 35.4 exceeded the Operating Payment to be paid by Landlord for such Operating Year, Tenant shall promptly at Landlord's election either refund to Landlord the amount of such excess or permit Landlord to credit the amount of such excess against subsequent payments of the monthly installments of the Operating Payment payable hereunder and if the Operating Statement for such Operating Year shall show that the sums so paid by Landlord were less than the Operating Payment to be paid by Landlord for such Operating Year, Landlord shall pay the amount of such deficiency within thirty (30) days after demand therefor. If the Operating Statements shall show that the estimated sums theretofore estimated by Tenant and paid by Landlord for such operating Year exceeded the Operating Payment for such Operating Year by more than ten (10%) percent, Tenant shall pay to Landlord interest on the excess over ten (10%) percent at the Interest Rate from the end of the applicable Operating Year to which the overpayment relates to the date such overpayment is refunded or credited.

Section 35.6. Each Operating Statement given by Tenant pursuant to Section 35.5 shall be conclusive and binding upon Landlord (i) unless within three (3) months after the receipt of the Operating Statement for the succeeding Operating Year, Landlord shall notify Tenant that it disputes the correctness of the Operating Statement specifying the particular respects in which the Operating Statement is claimed to be incorrect, and (ii) if such disputes shall not have been settled by agreement within three (3) months after such notice of dispute, either party may submit the dispute to arbitration in accordance with the provisions of Article 21. Pending the determination of such dispute by agreement or arbitration as aforesaid, Landlord shall within thirty (30) days after the receipt of such Operating Statement pay installments of the Operating Payment in accordance with Tenant's statement, without prejudice to Landlord's position. If the dispute shall be determined in Landlord's favor, Tenant shall forthwith pay to Landlord the amount of Landlord's overpayment resulting from compliance with Tenant's Operating Statement and interest, if applicable, in accordance with Section 35.5 hereof.

until such Operating Statement is rendered, estimated installments of Landlord's Operating Payment. Further, Tenant shall be precluded from adjusting any Operating Statement to increase the costs included within Landlord's Proportionate Share (or Landlord's Amenities Proportionate Share, if applicable) of Operating Expenses subsequent to the date (the "Cut-Off Date") that is thirty-six (36) months subsequent to the expiration of the Operating Year to which the applicable Operating Statement relates, but nothing shall preclude or prevent Tenant from furnishing Landlord with corrections or adjustments to any Operating Statement for any applicable Operating Year prior to the applicable Cut-Off Date.

Section 35.9. Landlord, upon reasonable notice, may (but only with its authorized employees or with a firm of reputable independent certified public accountants selected by Landlord) elect to examine such of Tenant's books and records with respect to the applicable Operating Statement (collectively, "Records") as are directly relevant to any disputed amount included in the Operating Statement in question. In making such examination, Landlord shall, and shall cause its officers, employees and accountants to, keep confidential any and all information contained in the Records.

Section 35.10. (a) During any period of time that Landlord is using the Cafeteria, Landlord shall also pay to Tenant an amount ("Tax Payment") equal to the excess, if any, of (a) Landlord's Amenities Proportionate Share of Impositions for the relevant Tax Year over (ii) Landlord's Proportionate Share of Impositions for such Tax Year,

(b) At least thirty (30) days prior to the due date of the payment of Impositions to the taxing authority, Tenant shall render to Landlord a statement ("Tax Statement") showing the amount of the Tax Payment, which Tax Statement shall be accompanied by a copy of the real estate tax bill (if theretofore received by Tenant). Landlord shall pay to Tenant, in two (2) equal installments, in advance, on June 1st and December 1st of each year, the Tax Payment shown in such Tax Statement; provided, however, that if Tenant shall render any Tax Statement less than thirty (30) days prior to the date on which an installment of the Tax Payment is due, then such payment shall be due thirty (30) days after the date on which Tenant shall have delivered such Tax Statement. If Impositions are required to be paid on any other date or dates than as presently required by the governmental authority imposing the same, then the due date of the installments of the Tax Payment shall be correspondingly accelerated or revised so that the Tax Payment (or the two (2) installments thereof) is due thirty (30) days prior to the date the corresponding payment is due to the governmental authority. If the Tax Year established by the applicable governmental authority shall be changed, any Taxes for the Tax Year prior to such change which are included within the new Tax Year and which were the subject of a prior Tax Statement shall be apportioned for the purpose of calculating the Tax Payment payable with respect to such new Tax Year. If it becomes necessary to adjust the regular payments during a Tax Year, Tenant agrees to give Landlord not less than twenty (20) days notice of such adjustment, which notice shall include appropriate copies of documentation serving as the basis for such adjustment.

(c) If Tenant shall receive a refund of Impositions for any Tax Year for which Landlord has made its Tax Payments, Tenant shall either, at Landlord's election, pay to Landlord, or permit Landlord to credit against subsequent Tax Payments payable hereunder, an amount equal to the product of (i) such net refund (after deducting from such total refund the

119

costs and expenses, including, but not limited to, appraisal, accounting and legal fees incurred or expended in obtaining the same) and to the extent Tenant actually receives the same, interest thereon, multiplied by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount of Landlord's Tax Payment for such Tax Year and the denominator of which is the total Impositions paid for such Tax Year (without taking into account such refund). In no event shall such payment or credit exceed Landlord's Tax Payment paid for such Tax Year. Such payment or credit shall be made within sixty (60) days following receipt of such refund by Tenant.

(d) If a Tax Year commences before the Effective Date or ends after the termination of this Lease, the Tax Payment thereof shall be pro-rated to correspond to that portion of such Tax Year occurring within the Term.

Section 35.11. The provisions of this Article 35 shall survive the termination of this Lease as to all amounts due Tenant or Landlord accruing on or before the date of such termination, including all disputed items as well as the payments due for the last Operating Year, or portion thereof, falling within the Term. Within one hundred fifty (150) days following such termination, Tenant shall render to Landlord a preliminary uncertified Operating Statement, and Tenant and Landlord shall, subject to year-end adjustments, preliminarily adjust the amount due Tenant or Landlord, as the case may be, for such last year or portion thereof and the party owing any portion of the same to the other shall promptly pay the same. Tenant shall issue a final Operating Statement for such last year or portion thereof on or before April 30 of the succeeding calendar year, and all amounts due Tenant or Landlord based thereon shall be adjusted between the parties.

Section 35.12. Landlord acknowledges that prior to the date hereof Tenant has not operated the Building at a higher standard than that being provided to Tenant on February 22, 2001 pursuant to that certain Agreement of Lease dated September 10, 1997 between Landlord, as landlord, and Credit Suisse First Boston Corporation, as tenant, for the 13^th floor at 11 Madison Avenue, New York, New York.

ARTICLE 36

TENANT'S INABILITY TO PROVIDE SERVICES

Section 36.1. If by reason of an Unavoidable Delay, Tenant shall be unable to fulfill its obligations under Articles 34 or 37 during the Term, this Lease and any obligation hereunder, including the obligation to make any monetary payment, shall in no wise be affected, impaired or excused (except as provided in Section 36.2 below); provided however, that as soon as Tenant shall learn of the happening of any of the foregoing conditions, Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord of such event and, if ascertainable, its estimated duration and will proceed promptly and diligently with the fulfillment of its obligations as soon as reasonably possible.

Section 36.2. The foregoing provisions of this Section 36.1 notwithstanding, if for any reason whatsoever, Tenant shall fail to provide any service required to be provided by Tenant to the Landlord Space under this Lease or if Tenant shall fail to perform any repair and maintenance and if, as a result of Tenant's failure to provide all or any of said services, the Landlord Space is rendered Wholly Untenantable or Partially Untenantable (as such terms are

120

hereinafter defined) for more than five (5) consecutive Business Days after written notice of the existence of which condition has been given by Landlord to Tenant or any six (6) Business Days in a ten (10) day period, Landlord, as its sole right and remedy, shall be entitled to an abatement of Operating Payments, Tax Payments and Electricity Submeter Charges (on a per square foot basis) for each day after said five (5) day period or the seventh (7th) day in any ten (10) day period until the Landlord Space or the applicable portion thereof cease to be Wholly Untenantable or Partially Untenantable, as the case may be. For the purposes of this Article 36 "Wholly Untenantable" shall mean that Landlord Parties, due to the cessation of one or more of the services required to be provided by Tenant are actually unable to use the entire Landlord Space in the normal course of business and that Landlord Parties, due to the cessation of such services required to be provided by Tenant hereunder, completely cease to occupy the same for the conduct of its business, and "Partially Untenantable" shall mean that any of the Landlord Parties, due to the cessation of one or more of the services required to be provided by Tenant hereunder, is actually unable to use a portion of the Landlord Space in the normal course of its business and such Landlord Party, due to the cessation of such services, ceases to occupy the same for the conduct of its business.

ARTICLE 37

ELECTRIC

Section 37.1. Submetered Electricity for Landlord Space.

(a) Tenant shall provide electric energy to the Landlord Space in accordance with the provisions of this Article 37. Landlord shall pay to Tenant, in consideration of the furnishing of such electric energy to the Landlord Space, during the Term, an amount (the "Electricity Submeter Charge") equal to (x) the amount Tenant actually pays to the utility company to provide electricity to the Landlord Space, or the applicable portion thereof, including all applicable surcharges, demand charges, time-of-day charges, energy charges, fuel adjustment charges, rate adjustment charges, taxes and other sums payable in respect thereof based on Landlord's demand and/or consumption of electricity (and/or any other method of quantifying Landlord's use of or demand for electricity as set forth in the utility company's tariff) as registered on a meter or submeter for purposes of measuring such demand, consumption and/or other method of quantifying Landlord's use of, or demand for, electricity (it being agreed that such meter or submeter shall measure demand and consumption, and off-peak and on-peak use, in either case to the extent such factors are relevant in making the determination of Tenant's cost) plus (y) an amount equal to the out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Tenant in connection with reading such meters and preparing the bills therefor. Landlord, from time to time, shall have the right to review Tenant's meter readings, and Tenant's calculation of the Electricity Submeter Charge, at reasonable times and on reasonable prior notice, by giving notice thereof to Tenant. Any disputes with respect to such readings shall be resolved by arbitration in accordance with Article 21. Said charge shall be payable on the first day of every calendar month during the applicable period and shall be pro-rated with respect to any partial month.

(b) Where more than one meter measures the electricity supplied by Tenant to the Landlord Space, the electricity rendered through each meter shall be aggregated and computed and billed in accordance with the provisions hereinabove set forth. Bills for the

121

Electricity Submeter Charge shall be rendered to Landlord at such time as Tenant may elect, but no more frequently than monthly, and Landlord shall pay the amount shown thereon to Tenant within thirty (30) days after receipt of such bill. All submeters shall be read by an electrical consultant retained by Tenant or an energy management system in the Building installed by Tenant. Any disputes with respect to such readings shall be resolved by arbitration in accordance with Article 21. Landlord may install a totalizer in connection with the submeters measuring Landlord's electricity.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, in no event shall (i) the Electricity Submeter Charge reflect any discount available through the New York City Public Utility Service or Consolidated Edison due to the IDA benefits available to Tenant or (ii) Tenant obtain the benefit of any discount available through the New York City Public Utility Service or Consolidated Edison due to the IDA benefits available to Landlord.

Section 37.2. Use of Electricity. Subject to the provisions of this Article 37, Tenant shall furnish a demand electric load to the electrical closets servicing the Landlord Space of six (6) watts per useable square foot in the Landlord Space (exclusive of base Building HVAC). Landlord's use of electricity in the Landlord Space shall not at any time exceed the capacity of any of the electrical conductors, machinery and equipment in or otherwise servicing the Landlord Space. All additional risers or other equipment required to supply Landlord's electrical requirements (in excess of the electrical load specified in this Section 37.2) shall be provided by Landlord.

Section 37.3. Interruption of Electric Service. Subject to the provisions of Section 36.2 hereof, Tenant shall not be liable in any way to Landlord for any failure or defect in the supply or character of electricity, steam or other utilities furnished to the Landlord Space by reason of any requirement, act or omission of the public utility serving the Building with electricity or steam or for any other reason unless that same shall be attributable to the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or its agents, employees, contractors or representatives or anyone claiming under or through Tenant.

ARTICLE 38

ALTERATIONS AND INSTALLATIONS BY LANDLORD

Section 38.1. (a) In consideration of Tenant operating and maintaining the Building and providing the Services, Landlord agrees that Landlord shall not make any Material Alteration (as defined below) without Tenant's prior written consent, which consent by Tenant shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Landlord further agrees that Landlord shall not make, without Tenant's consent, any Alterations to the portion of the South Building lobby within the Landlord Space. If Landlord disputes the reasonableness of Tenant's withholding of consent to any Material Alteration or to the Landlord's Plans therefor, such dispute will be resolved by arbitration in accordance with Article 21 and the determination of the arbitrators shall be final and conclusive upon the parties hereto. Except as may otherwise be expressly provided in this Article 38, Landlord has the right to make any alterations, installations, additions or improvements (collectively, the "Landlord Alterations") in or to the Landlord Space without Tenant's prior written consent. Landlord Alterations which may unreasonably

122

interfere with the use and enjoyment by other occupants of the Building of such occupant's space (such as, for example, core drilling) shall be done at times other than during Business Hours.

(b) Prior to making any Material Alterations, Landlord shall submit to Tenant complete plans and specifications ("Landlord's Plans") for such proposed Material Alterations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall not be required to submit Landlord's Plans (i) for which no plans are required to be filed with the New York City Buildings Department (or any other governmental body), and (ii) with respect to which the preparation of such plans is not customary in accordance with good construction practice, but in such event, Landlord shall, at least five (5) days in advance of Landlord's commencing any Material Alterations, nevertheless notify Tenant of such Material Alterations, which notification shall include a description, in reasonable detail, of the proposed alteration.

(i) will affect the structural integrity of the Building or any of its exterior walls, roof, supporting beams, columns, floor slabs or foundations; or

(ii) will affect the outside appearance of the Building or be visible from the ground anywhere outside the Building (excluding Landlord's signage, which shall not be deemed to be a Material Alteration); or

(iii) will (y) affect the Building Systems other than the distribution portions of those systems located within the Landlord Space and exclusively serving, and which effect is confined to, the Landlord Space (for the consequences of which effect obtain on the Landlord Space Tenant shall have no responsibility hereunder) or (z) increase Tenant's costs of providing Building services (unless Landlord expressly agrees in writing to reimburse Tenant for such increases in costs on such basis as shall be reasonably acceptable to Tenant and Landlord, in which case such Landlord Alteration shall not be deemed a Material Alteration); or

(iv) will result in a change to, or revocation, suspension or loss of, the certificate of occupancy or any other permit or license for operating and using any portion of the Building, unless only Landlord's occupancy would be affected thereby, in which event such Landlord Alterations shall not be deemed as falling within the definition of the term Material Alterations solely by virtue of such effect and Landlord shall obtain, at Landlord's sole cost and expense, said certificate of occupancy or permits upon completion of the Landlord Alterations;

(v) will involve or alter the use of the Building's fire exits and stairwells for ingress and egress to the Landlord Space; or

123

(vi) will involve plumbing over the Tenant's approximately 25,000 square foot data center unless (A) such plumbing is already in existence or (B) Landlord agrees to pay for the cost of waterproofing or other protective measures to prevent the possibility of water penetration into the data center.

(d) Within fifteen (15) Business Days after Landlord submits Landlord's Plans to Tenant, Tenant shall notify Landlord whether or not Tenant consents to such Material Alterations. Any withholding of Tenant's consent shall include a written explanation of the grounds therefor in reasonable detail which specifically references the specific aspects of Landlord's Plans which are unacceptable. Successive submissions of Landlord's Plans may be made by Landlord to Tenant based upon a disapproval of a prior submission or Landlord's desire to change Landlord's Plans which have been previously approved by Tenant, which changes would require Tenant's reapproval in accordance herewith. The foregoing mechanism for submission, objection and approval of Landlord's Plans shall apply to each submission and each resubmission of Landlord's Plans (and any changes thereto requiring Tenant's reapproval) with respect to any Material Alterations. If Tenant shall approve elements of Landlord's Plans that can, in accordance with good engineering and construction practice, be constructed independent of any portion of Landlord's Plans that were not approved by Tenant and which may be completed without any adverse affect to the items referred to in clauses (i) through (iii) of Section 38.1(c) of this Lease and do not involve the use of the items referred to in clause (v) of said Section 38.1(c), Landlord shall, subject to the terms, conditions and provisions of this Article 38, have the right, at its sole risk, cost and expense, to construct those elements so approved by Tenant. If Tenant fails to furnish Landlord with such written explanation within fifteen (15) Business Day's period, Landlord may, at its option, serve Tenant with a notice in accordance with Article 24 of the Net Lease, which notice to be effective must make specific reference to this Section 38.l(c) and set forth in bold upper case type that "TENANT'S FAILURE TO RESPOND TO LANDLORD'S PRIOR SUBMISSION OF LANDLORD'S PLANS WITHIN FIFTEEN (15) BUSINESS DAYS OF TENANT'S RECEIPT OF THE NOTICE SHALL BE DEEMED AN APPROVAL OF THE PROPOSED MATERIAL ALTERATIONS", and if Tenant does not furnish Landlord with its disapproval or withholding of consent with an explanation of the grounds therefor in reasonable detail which specifically references the specific aspects of Landlord's Plans which are unacceptable within fifteen (15) Business Days after Tenant's receipt of the notice, Landlord's Plans shall be deemed approved. Pending Tenant's consent (or deemed consent) to Material Alterations, Landlord shall not commence all or any portion of the work for such Material Alterations. Any Landlord Alteration shall be performed in a manner that reasonably minimizes any interference with or inconvenience to Tenant and/or Tenant's subtenants and shall be completed with the Plans and Specifications approved by Tenant to the extent required. Upon completion of any Material Alteration for which Landlord's Plans were required to be submitted to Tenant pursuant to Section 38.1(b), Landlord shall deliver to Tenant three (3) complete sets (mylar and computer digitized in AutoCADD Version 12, or the then current digitized system used by Tenant, provided such then current system is then generally accepted in the real estate industry in New York City) of final as-built plans (or as-built plans or final construction plans with field notes marked) for such Material Alteration. In addition, if Landlord is not otherwise required to deliver such as-built plans but has actually prepared plans showing as-built conditions, Landlord shall deliver the same to Tenant promptly upon completion thereof.

124

Section 38.2. (a) All Landlord Alterations shall at all times comply with all Legal Requirements, Insurance Requirements and Permitted Encumbrances. Landlord, at its expense, shall (i) obtain all necessary municipal and other governmental permits, licenses, authorizations, approvals and certificates for the commencement and prosecution of such Landlord Alterations and for final approval thereof upon completion, (ii) obtain all insurance certificates with respect to insurance, if any, which Landlord is required to carry during performance of work leading to, and through, the completion of the Landlord Alterations and (iii) deliver three (3) copies of such insurance certificates to Tenant prior to commencing the construction of the Landlord Alterations in question. If Landlord's execution alone would not be sufficient to obtain the following, Tenant shall promptly execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered), all factually correct and lawful applications and consents required by Legal Requirements and/or Insurance Requirements to be filed in order to enable Landlord to obtain the permits, authorizations, licenses, approvals and certificates referred to in clause (i) of this paragraph (a) of Section 38.2, and will otherwise reasonably cooperate, with Landlord and take actions reasonably requested by Landlord in order to obtain the same, provided Tenant thereby incurs no expense which is not reimbursed by Landlord and no liability related to the Landlord Alterations proposed by Landlord or the documents requested by Landlord to be executed by Tenant, unless in each event Landlord has agreed to indemnify Tenant in respect thereof to Tenant's reasonable satisfaction.

(b) All work leading to, and through, the completion of all Landlord Alterations shall be performed so as not to unreasonably interfere with the occupancy of Tenant (or any other occupant or tenant) or materially delay Tenant in the construction, maintenance, cleaning, repair, safety, management, security or operation of the Building or the Building's systems. If any additional out-of-pocket expenses shall be incurred or paid for by Tenant as a direct result of Landlord's performance under this Article 38, Landlord shall pay such additional out-of-pocket expenses to Tenant within thirty (30) days after demand.

(c) Throughout the making of all Landlord Alterations, Landlord, at its expense, shall carry or cause to be carried the insurance coverages required to be carried pursuant to Article 7. Landlord shall furnish Tenant with satisfactory evidence that such insurance is in effect before the commencement of such Landlord Alterations and, on request, at reasonable intervals thereafter.

(d) Landlord, at its expense, shall promptly procure the cancellation or discharge of all notices of violations of Legal Requirements arising from or related to Landlord Alterations, but nothing contained herein or elsewhere in this Lease shall be, or be deemed to be, an acquiescence or consent by Tenant to the existence or continuation of any such violation or relieve or release Landlord from its obligations under this Article.

(e) Landlord shall promptly pay the cost of such Landlord Alterations to the extent due and payable to the contractors and suppliers performing the same, but the failure to do so shall not be a default hereunder. Notice is hereby given that neither Tenant, Tenant's agents, or any other party claiming by, through or under Tenant or Tenant's agents shall be liable for any labor or materials furnished or to be furnished to Landlord upon credit, and that no mechanics' or other lien for such labor or materials shall attach to or affect any estate or interest of Tenant.

125

(f) Landlord shall have the right, either directly or indirectly, to employ or permit the employment of any contractor, mechanic, supplier, vendor, materialman or laborer in the Landlord Space so long as the employment or use of such contractor, mechanic, supplier, vendor, materialman or laborer would not violate Tenant's union contracts or Tenant's contractors' (or their subcontractors') union contracts affecting the Building, or create any jurisdictional dispute with other contractors, mechanics, suppliers, vendors, materialmen or laborers engaged by Tenant or the agents of Tenant, it being understood and agreed that it shall be deemed reasonable for Tenant to rely on the written advice of its counsel in the determination of any of the foregoing. Subject to Landlord furnishing Tenant with a reasonably acceptable confidentiality agreement, a copy of such advice will be forwarded to Landlord promptly following Landlord's written request therefor.

(g) Tenant's review of, approval of, or consent to, Landlord's Plans shall not be deemed to be an agreement, warranty or representation by Tenant that the contemplated Material Alterations are fit for their intended use or comply with any Legal Requirements or Insurance Requirements or the certificate of occupancy for the Building nor shall same be deemed a waiver by Tenant of compliance by Landlord with any of the terms, provisions, covenants, conditions and agreements of this Lease a warranty or representation as to the adequacy, correctness or efficiency thereof.

(h) Landlord shall pay to Tenant within thirty (30) days after demand Tenant's reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including the fees of any architect or engineer employed or retained by Tenant for such purpose, but excluding any "in-house" charge or attribution of overhead or supervision costs for services rendered or provided by Tenant's employees in connection with the same) for reviewing Landlord's Plans for Material Alterations.

Section 38.3. Landlord acknowledges that it understands that since Tenant is operating and maintaining the Building and providing the Services, Tenant shall have the right to adopt and thereafter modify, from time to time, reasonable general guidelines for the Building covering construction, maintenance, repair or other work. Landlord agrees that all repairs, renovations, alterations, installations, additions and Landlord Alterations and other activities within the scope of the general guidelines for the Building (including, without limitation, fire protection, life safety, plumbing, HVAC, mechanical, electrical and communications systems) effected by or on behalf of Landlord in the Landlord Space shall be conducted in accordance with and pursuant to the aforesaid guidelines (as same may be reasonably amended by Tenant from time to time), as well as any applicable governmental requirements and regulations. Landlord agrees that it is its responsibility to ensure that Landlord and those working for Landlord comply with the aforesaid guidelines as well as any other applicable governmental requirements and regulations. Tenant shall (a) not enforce against Landlord any of the general guidelines which Tenant is not then enforcing against all the other occupants of the Building and observing itself; (b) not unreasonably withhold or delay its consent from Landlord for any approval required under the general guidelines; and (c) exercise its judgment in good faith in any instance providing for the exercise of its judgment in the general guidelines. In the case of any conflict or inconsistency between the provisions of this Lease and any of the general guidelines, the provisions of this Lease shall control. If Landlord disputes the reasonableness of any additional rule or regulation hereafter adopted by Tenant, the dispute shall be determined by arbitration in accordance with Article 21 and, to the extent and for the duration that Landlord disputes the same, Landlord shall

126

not be deemed to be in default under this Lease as a result of a failure to comply with the same, unless the failure to comply with the same shall result in a violation of Legal Requirements, Insurance Requirements, or any mortgage or ground lease to which this Lease is subordinate. Any such determination shall be final and conclusive upon the parties hereto. The right to dispute the reasonableness of any additional rule or regulation upon Landlord's part shall be deemed waived unless the same shall be asserted by service of a notice upon Tenant within thirty (30) days after receipt by Landlord of notice of the adoption of any such additional rule or regulation.

ARTICLE 39

LANDLORD'S FAILURE TO COMPLY

Section 39.1. If Landlord shall fail to make any payment due to Tenant pursuant to Articles 34 through 38 when due for a period of five (5) days after such payment shall have become due, Landlord shall pay interest thereon at a rate equal to the Interest Rate from the date when such payment shall have become due to the date of the payment thereof.

Section 39.2. If Landlord fails to pay any amount due to Tenant pursuant to Articles 34 through 38 on the due date and such failure continues for fifteen (15) days after notice from Tenant to Landlord of the failure to pay the same ("Landlord Monetary Default") or if Landlord shall default in the observance or performance of any other term, agreements, covenant, provision or condition of Articles 34 through 38 on Landlord's part to be observed or performed and if Landlord shall have failed to comply with or remedy any such default within thirty (30) days after notice thereof from Tenant (or if the said default or omission complained of shall be of a nature that the same cannot be completely cured or remedied within thirty (30) day period, and if Landlord shall not have diligently commenced curing such default within such thirty (30) day period, and if Landlord shall not thereafter with reasonable diligence and in good faith proceed to remedy or cure such default) ("Landlord Non-Monetary Default") or if there shall be any material default by Landlord under the Shared Services Agreement and if Landlord shall have failed to comply with or remedy any such default within sixty (60) days after notice thereof from Tenant (or if the said default or omission complained of shall be of a nature that the same cannot be completely cured or remedied within said sixty (60) day period, and if Landlord shall not have diligently commenced curing such default within such sixty (60) day period, and if Landlord shall not thereafter with reasonable diligence and in good faith proceed to remedy or cure such default) ("Landlord Shared Services Default"), Tenant may, at its option, serve a second written notice ("Second Landlord Default Notice") upon Landlord, which such notice shall specifically refer to this Section 39.2 and shall state in bold, uppercase type on the first page thereof: FAILURE TO CURE THE DEFAULT DESCRIBED HEREIN WITHIN TWO DAYS FROM THE DATE HEREOF IN THE CASE OF A MONETARY DEFAULT OR FIVE DAYS FROM THE DATE HEREOF IN THE CASE OF A NON-MONETARY DEFAULT OR SHARED SERVICES DEFAULT SHALL RESULT IN A TERMINATION OF TENANT'S OBLIGATIONS TO PROVIDE THE SERVICES AND UTILITIES SET FORTH IN ARTICLES 34 THROUGH 38 OF THE AMENDED AND RESTATED LEASE AT ONE MADISON AVENUE.

Section 39.3. In the event that Landlord fails to cure any Landlord Monetary Default within two (2) days from receipt of the Second Default Notice, any Landlord Non-

127

Monetary Default within five (5) days from receipt of the Second Default Notice, and/or any Landlord Shared Services Default within five (5) days from receipt of the Second Default Notice, Tenant may, at its option, serve a written five (5) days' notice upon Landlord, and upon the expiration of said five (5) days, Tenant shall have no further obligation to provide any of the services and/or utilities set forth in Articles 34 through 38 hereof.

Section 39.4. Tenant acknowledges that Tenant shall not have the right to terminate this Lease upon the occurrence of a Landlord Monetary Default, a Landlord Non-Monetary Default or a Landlord Shared Services Default. Tenant further acknowledges that, except as provided in Section 39.5, Tenant shall not have the right to offset any amounts owed by Landlord to Tenant pursuant to the Shared Services Agreement or Articles 34 through 38 hereof against any Rent payable by Tenant.

Section 39.5. In the event Landlord fails to pay Tenant any amounts owed by Landlord to Tenant pursuant to Articles 4 and 5 of the Shared Services Agreement or Articles 34 through 38 hereof within such sixty (60) days after the date when due, Tenant shall be entitled to offset such amounts owed against the next installment(s) of Rent due hereunder, provided, however, that if Landlord shall have delivered to Tenant a notice disputing any of such amounts within such sixty (60) day period, Tenant shall not have the right to offset with respect to such disputed amounts.
