which Tenant agrees to pay in lawful money of the United States, which shall be legal tender in
payment of all debts and dues, public and private, at the time of payment, in equal monthly
installments in advance on the first day of each month during said term, at the office of Owner or
such other place as Owner may designate, without any setoff or deduction whatsoever, except that
Tenant shall pay the first monthly installment(s) on the execution hereof (unless this lease be a
renewal).
In the event that, at the commencement of the term of this lease, or thereafter, Tenant shall be in default in the payment of rent to Owner pursuant to the terms of another lease with Owner or with
Owners predecessor in interest, Owner may at Owners option and without notice to Tenant add the
amount of such arrears to any monthly installment of rent payable hereunder and the same shall be
payable to Owner as additional rent.
The parties hereto, for themselves, their heirs, distributees, executors, administrators,
legal representatives, successors and assigns, hereby covenant as follows:
Rent: 1. Tenant shall pay the rent as above and as hereinafter provided.
Occupancy: 2. Tenant shall use and occupy the demised premises for General Office Use Only. No
Retail. and for no other purpose.
Tenant Alterations: 3. Tenant shall make no changes in or to the demised premises of any nature
without Owners prior written consent. Subject to the prior written consent of Owner, and to the
provisions of this article, Tenant, at Tenants expense, may make alterations, installations,
additions or improvements which are non-structural and which do not affect utility services or
plumbing and electrical lines, in or to the interior of the demised premises, by using contractors
or mechanics first approved in each instance by Owner. Tenant shall, before making any alterations,
additions, installations or improvements, at its expense, obtain all permits, approvals and
certificates required by any governmental or quasi-governmental bodies and (upon completion)
certificates of final approval thereof, and shall deliver promptly duplicates of all such permits,
approvals and certificates to Owner, and Tenant agrees to carry, and will cause Tenants contractors
and sub-contractors to carry, such workers compensation, commercial general liability, personal and property
damage insurance as Owner may require. If any mechanics lien is filed against the demised
premises, or the building of which the same forms a part, for work claimed to have been done for,
or materials furnished to, Tenant, whether or not done pursuant to this article, the same shall be
discharged by Tenant within thirty days thereafter, at Tenants expense, by payment or filing a
bond as permitted by law. All fixtures and all paneling, partitions, railings and like installations,
installed in the demised premises at any time,
either by Tenant or by Owner on Tenants behalf, shall, upon installation, become the property of
Owner and shall remain upon and be surrendered with the demised premises unless Owner, by notice to Tenant no later
than twenty days prior to the date fixed as the termination of this
lease, elects to relinquish Owners right
thereto and to have them removed by Tenant, in which event the same
shall be removed from the demised premises by Tenant prior to the expiration of the lease, at Tenants
expense. Nothing in this article shall be construed to give Owner title to, or to prevent Tenants
removal of, trade fixtures, moveable office furniture and equipment, but upon removal of same
from the demised premises or upon removal, of other installations as may be required by Owner, Tenant shall
immediately, and at its expense, repair and restore the demised premises to the condition existing prior to
any such installations, and repair any damage to the demised premises or the building due to such removal. All
property permitted or required to be removed by Tenant at the end of the term remaining in the
demised premises after Tenants removal shall be deemed abandoned and may, at the election of Owner, either
be retained as Owners property or may be removed from the demised premises by Owner, at Tenants expense.
Maintenance and Repairs: 4. Tenant shall, throughout the term of this lease, take good care of the
demised premises and the fixtures and appurtenances therein. Tenant shall be responsible for all
damage or injury to the demised premises or any other part of the building and the systems and
equipment thereof, whether requiring structural or nonstructural
repairs caused by, or resulting
from carelessness, omission, neglect or improper conduct of Tenant, Tenants subtenants, agents,
employees, invitees or licensees, or which arise out of any work, labor, service or equipment done
for, or supplied to Tenant or any subtenant, or arising out of the installation, use or operation of
the property or equipment of Tenant or any subtenant. Tenant shall also repair all damage to the
building and the demised premises caused by the moving of Tenants fixtures, furniture and
equipment. Tenant shall promptly make, at Tenants expense, all repairs in and to the demised
premises for which Tenant is responsible, using only the contractor for the trade or trades in
question, selected from a list of at least two contractors per trade submitted by Owner. Any other
repairs in or to the building or the facilities and systems thereof,
for which Tenant is responsible,
shall be performed by Owner at the Tenants expense. Owner shall maintain in good working order and
repair the exterior and the structural portions of the building, including the structural portions
of the demised premises, and the public portions of the building interior and the building
plumbing, electrical, heating and ventilating systems (to the extent such systems presently exist)
serving the demised premises. Tenant agrees to give prompt notice of any defective condition in the demised
premises for which Owner may be responsible hereunder. There shall be no allowance to Tenant for
diminution of rental value and no liability on the part of Owner by reason of inconvenience,
annoyance or injury to business arising from Owner or others making repairs, alterations, additions
or improvements in or to any portion of the building or the demised premises, or in and to the
fixtures, appurtenances or equipment thereof. It is specifically agreed that Tenant shall not be
entitled to any setoff or reduction of rent by reason of any failure of Owner to comply with the
covenants of this or any other article of this lease. Tenant agrees that Tenants sole remedy at
law in such instance will be by way of an action for damages for breach of contract. The provisions
of this Article 4 shall not apply in the case of fire or other casualty, which are dealt with in
Article 9 hereof.
Window Cleaning: 5. Tenant will not clean nor require, permit, suffer or allow any window in the
demised premises to be cleaned from the outside in violation of Section 202 of the Labor Law or any
other applicable law, or of the Rules of the Board of Standards and Appeals, or of any other Board
or body having or asserting jurisdiction.
Requirements of Law, Fire Insurance, Floor Loads: 6. Prior to the commencement of the lease term,
if Tenant is then in possession, and at all times thereafter, Tenant, at Tenants sole cost and
expense, shall promptly comply with all present and future laws, orders and regulations of all
state, federal, municipal and local governments, departments, commissions and boards and any
direction of any public officer pursuant to law, and all orders, rules and regulations of the New
York Board of Fire Underwriters, Insurance Services Office, or any similar body which shall impose
any violation, order or duty upon Owner or Tenant with respect to the demised premises, whether or
not arising out of Tenants use or manner of use thereof, (including Tenants permitted use) or,
with respect to the building if arising out of Tenants use or manner of use of the demised premises or the
building (including the use permitted under the lease). Nothing herein shall require Tenant to make
structural repairs or alterations unless Tenant has, by its manner of use of the demised premises
or method of operation therein, violated any such
Page L1
laws,
ordinances, orders, rules, regulations or requirements with respect thereto. Tenant may, after securing Owner to Owners satisfaction
against all damages, interest, penalties and expenses, including, but not limited to, reasonable
attorneys fees, by cash deposit or by surety bond in an amount and in a company satisfactory to
Owner, contest and appeal any such laws, ordinances, orders, rules, regulations or requirements
provided same is done with all reasonable promptness and provided such appeal shall not subject
Owner to prosecution for a criminal offense, or constitute a default under any lease or mortgage
under which Owner may be obligated, or cause the demised premises or any part thereof to be
condemned or vacated. Tenant shall not do or permit any act or thing to be done in or to the
demised premises which is contrary to law, or which will invalidate or be in conflict with public
liability, fire or other policies of insurance at any time carried by or for the benefit of Owner
with respect to the demised premises or the building of which the demised premises form a part, or
which shall or might subject Owner to any liability or responsibility
to any person, or for property
damage. Tenant shall not keep anything in the demised premises, except as now or hereafter permitted
by the Fire Department, Board of Fire Underwriters, Fire Insurance Rating Organization or other
authority having jurisdiction, and then only in such manner and such quantity so as not to increase
the rate for fire insurance applicable to the building, nor use the
demised premises in a manner which will
increase the insurance rate for the building or any property located therein over that in effect
prior to the commencement of Tenants occupancy. Tenant shall pay all costs, expenses, fines,
penalties, or damages, which may be imposed upon Owner by reason of Tenants failure to comply with
the provisions of this article, and if by reason of such failure the fire insurance rate shall, at
the beginning of this lease, or at any time thereafter, be higher
than it otherwise would be, then,
Tenant shall reimburse Owner, as additional rent hereunder, for that portion of all fire insurance
premiums thereafter paid by Owner which shall have been charged because of such failure by Tenant.
In any action or proceeding wherein Owner and Tenant are parties, a schedule or make-up of rate
for the building or the demised premises issued by the New York Fire Insurance Exchange, or other body
making fire insurance rates applicable to said premises shall be conclusive evidence of the facts
therein stated and of the several items and charges in the fire insurance rates then applicable to
said premises. Tenant shall not place a load upon any floor of the demised premises exceeding the
floor load per square foot area which it was designed to carry and which is allowed by law. Owner
reserves the right to prescribe the weight and position of all safes, business machines and
mechanical equipment. Such installations shall be placed and maintained by Tenant, at Tenants
expense, in settings sufficient, in Owners judgment, to absorb and prevent vibration, noise and
annoyance.
Subordination: 7. This lease is subject and subordinate to all ground or underlying leases and to
all mortgages which may now or hereafter affect such leases or the
real property of which the demised
premises are a part, and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions
of any such underlying leases and mortgages. This clause shall be self-operative and no further
instrument of subordination shall be required by any ground or underlying lessor or by any
mortgagee, affecting any lease or the real property of which the demised premises are a part. In
confirmation of such subordination, Tenant shall from time to time execute promptly any certificate
that Owner may request.
Property Loss, Damage Reimbursement Indemnity: 8. Owner or its agents shall not be liable for any
damage to property of Tenant or of others entrusted to employees of the building, nor for loss of
or damage to any property of Tenant by theft or otherwise, nor for any injury or damage to persons
or property resulting from any cause of whatsoever nature, unless
caused by, or due to, the
negligence of Owner, its agents, servants or employees. Owner or its agents will not be liable for
any such damage caused by other tenants or persons in, upon or about
said building, or caused by
operations in construction of any private, public or quasi public work. If at any time any windows
of the demised premises are temporarily closed, darkened or bricked up (or permanently closed,
darkened or bricked up, if required by law) for any reason whatsoever
including, but not limited to,
Owners own acts, Owner shall not be liable for any damage
Tenant may sustain thereby, and Tenant
shall not be entitled to any compensation therefore, nor abatement or
diminution of rent, nor shall
the same release Tenant from its obligations hereunder, nor constitute an eviction. Tenant shall
indemnify and save harmless Owner against and from all liabilities, obligations, damages,
penalties, claims, costs and expenses for which Owner shall not be reimbursed by insurance,
including reasonable attorneys fees, paid, suffered or incurred as a result of any breach by
Tenant, Tenants agents, contractors, employees, invitees, or licensees, of any covenant or
condition of this lease, or the carelessness, negligence or improper conduct of the Tenant,
Tenants agents, contractors, employees, invitees or licensees. Tenants liability under this lease
extends to the acts and omissions of any subtenant,
and any agent, contractor, employee, invitee or licensee of any subtenant. In case any action or
proceeding is brought against Owner by reason of any such claim, Tenant, upon written notice from
Owner, will, at Tenants expense, resist or defend such action or proceeding by counsel approved by
Owner in writing, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld.
Destruction, Fire and Other Casualty: 9. (a) If the demised premises or any part thereof shall be
damaged by fire or other casualty, Tenant shall give immediate notice
thereof to Owner, and this
lease shall continue in full force and effect except as hereinafter
set forth. (b) If the demised
premises are partially damaged or rendered partially unusable by fire or other casualty, the
damages thereto shall be repaired by, and at the expense of, Owner, and the rent and other items of
additional rent, until such repair shall be substantially completed, shall be apportioned from the
day following the casualty, according to the part of the demised
premises which is usable. (c) If the
demised premises are totally damaged or rendered wholly unusable by fire or other casualty, then
the rent and other items of additional rent, as hereinafter expressly
provided, shall be
proportionately paid up to the time of the casualty, and thenceforth shall cease until the date when
the demised premises shall have been repaired and restored by Owner
(or if the sooner reoccupied in part by the Tenant
then rent shall be apportioned as provided in subsection (b) above), subject to Owners right to
elect not to restore the same as hereinafter provided. (d) If the demised premises are rendered
wholly unusable or (whether or not the demised premises are damaged in whole or in part) if the
building shall be so damaged that Owner shall decide to demolish it or to rebuild it, then, in any
of such events, Owner may elect to terminate this lease by written
notice to Tenant, given within ninety
(90) days after such fire or casualty, or thirty (30) days after adjustment of the insurance claim for such
fire or casualty, whichever is sooner, specifying a date for the expiration of the lease, which
date shall not be more than sixty (60) days after the giving of such notice, and upon the date specified in
such notice the term of this lease shall expire as fully and completely as if such date were the
date set forth above for the termination of this lease, and Tenant shall forthwith quit, surrender
and vacate the demised premises without prejudice however, to Landlords rights and remedies against Tenant
under the lease provisions in effect prior to such termination, and any rent owing shall be paid up
to such date, and any payments of rent made by Tenant which were on account of any period subsequent
to such date shall be returned to Tenant. Unless Owner shall serve a termination notice as provided
for herein, Owner shall make the repairs and restorations under the conditions of (b) and (c)
hereof, with all reasonable expedition, subject to delays due to adjustment of insurance claims,
labor troubles and causes beyond Owners control. After any such casualty, Tenant shall cooperate
with Owners restoration by removing from the demised premises as promptly as reasonably possible, all of
Tenants salvageable inventory and movable equipment, furniture, and other property. Tenants
liability for rent shall resume five (5) days after written
notice from Owner that the demised premises are
substantially ready for Tenants occupancy. (e) Nothing contained hereinabove shall relieve Tenant
from liability that may exist as a result of damage from fire or other casualty. Notwithstanding
anything contained to the contrary in subdivisions (a) through (e)
hereof, including Owners obligation to restore under subparagraph (b) above, each party
shall look first to any insurance in its favor before making any claim against the other party for
recovery for loss or damage resulting from fire or other casualty, and to the extent that such
insurance is in force and collectible, and to the extent permitted by law, Owner and Tenant each
hereby releases and waives all right of recovery with respect to subparagraphs (b), (d), and (e)
above, against the other or any one claiming through or under each of them by way of subrogation or
otherwise. The release and waiver herein referred to shall be deemed to include any loss or damage
to the demised premises and/or to any personal property, equipment, trade fixtures, goods and
merchandise located therein. The foregoing release and waiver shall be in force only if both
releasers insurance policies contain a clause providing that such a release or waiver shall not
invalidate the insurance. If, and to the extent, that such waiver can be obtained only by the
payment of additional premiums, then the party benefiting from the waiver shall pay such premium
within ten days after written demand or shall be deemed to have agreed that the party
obtaining insurance coverage shall be free of any further obligation under the provisions hereof
with respect to waiver of subrogation. Tenant acknowledges that Owner will not carry insurance on
Tenants furniture and/or furnishings or any fixtures or equipment, improvements, or appurtenances
removable by Tenant, and agrees that Owner will not be obligated to repair any damage thereto or
replace the same. (f) Tenant hereby waives the provisions of Section 227 of the Real Property Law
and agrees that the provisions of this article shall govern and control in lieu thereof.
Eminent Domain: 10. If the whole or any part of the demised premises shall be acquired or condemned
by Eminent Domain for any public or quasi public use or purpose, then, and in that event, the term
of this lease shall cease and terminate from the date of title
vesting in such proceeding, and
Tenant shall have no claim for the value of any unexpired term of
said lease, and assigns to Owner,
Tenants entire interest in any such award. Tenant shall have the right to make an independent
claim to the condemning authority for the value of Tenants moving expenses and personal property,
trade fixtures and equipment, provided Tenant is entitled pursuant to the terms of the lease to
remove such property, trade fixtures and equipment at the end of the
term, and provided further such
claim does not reduce Owners award.
Assignment, Mortgage, Etc.: 11. Tenant, for itself, its heirs, distributees, executors,
administrators, legal representatives, successors and assigns, expressly covenants that it shall not
assign, mortgage or encumber this agreement, nor underlet, or suffer or permit the demised premises
or any part thereof to be used by others, without the prior written consent of Owner in each
instance. If this lease be assigned, or if
the demised premises or any part thereof be underlet or occupied by anybody other than Tenant,
Owner may, after default by Tenant, collect rent from the assignee, under-tenant or occupant, and
apply the net amount collected to the rent herein reserved, but no such assignment, underletting,
occupancy or collection shall be deemed a waiver of this covenant, or the acceptance of the
assignee, undertenant or occupant as tenant, or a release of Tenant from the further performance
by Tenant of covenants on the part of Tenant herein contained. The consent by Owner to an
assignment or underletting shall not in any way be construed to relieve Tenant from obtaining the
express consent in writing of Owner to any further assignment or underletting.
Electric Current: 12. Rates and conditions in respect to submetering or rent inclusion, as the case
may be, to be added in RIDER attached hereto. Tenant covenants and agrees that at all times its use
of electric current shall not exceed the capacity of existing feeders to the building or the risers
or wiring installation, and Tenant may not use any electrical equipment which, in Owners opinion,
reasonably exercised, will overload such installations or interfere with the use thereof by other
tenants of the building. The change at any time of the character of electric service shall in no
way make Owner liable or responsible to Tenant, for any loss, damages or expenses which Tenant may
sustain.
Access to Premises: 13. Owner or Owners agents shall have the right (but shall not be obligated)
to enter the demised premises in any emergency at any time, and, at
other reasonable times,
to examine the same and to make such repairs, replacements and improvements as Owner
may deem necessary and reasonably desirable to the demised premises
or to any other portion of the
building or which Owner may elect to perform. Tenant shall permit Owner to use and maintain and
replace pipes, ducts, and conduits in and through the demised premises
and to erect new pipes, ducts, and conduits
therein, provided they are concealed within the walls, floor, or ceiling. Owner may, during the
progress of any work in the demised premises, take all necessary materials and equipment into said
premises without the same constituting an eviction, nor shall the Tenant be entitled to any
abatement of rent while such work is in progress, nor to any damages by reason of loss or
interruption of business or otherwise. Throughout the term hereof, Owner shall have the right to
enter the demised premises at reasonable hours for the purpose of showing the same to prospective
purchasers or mortgagees
of the building, and during the last six months of the term, for the
purpose of showing the same to prospective tenants. If Tenant is not present to open and permit an
entry into the demised premises, Owner or Owners agents may enter the same whenever such entry may
be necessary or permissible by master key or forcibly, and provided reasonable care is exercised to
safeguard Tenants property, such entry shall not render Owner
or its agents liable therefore, nor
in any event shall the obligations of Tenant hereunder be affected. If during the last month of the
term Tenant shall have removed all or substantially all of
Tenants property therefrom, Owner may
immediately enter, alter, renovate or redecorate the demised premises without limitation or
abatement of rent, or incurring liability to Tenant for any
compensation, and such act shall have no
effect on this lease or Tenants obligations hereunder.
Page L2
Vault, Vault Space, Area: 14. No Vaults, vault space or area, whether or not enclosed or covered,
not within the property line of the building is leased hereunder, anything contained in or
indicated on any sketch, blue print or plan, or anything contained elsewhere in this lease to the
contrary notwithstanding.
Owner makes no representation as to the location of the property line of the building. All vaults
and vault space and all such areas not within the property line of the building, which Tenant may
be permitted to use and/or occupy, is to be used and/or occupied under a revocable license, and if
any such license be revoked, or if the amount of such space or area be diminished or required by
any federal, state or municipal authority or public utility, Owner shall not be subject to any
liability, nor shall Tenant be entitled to any compensation or diminution or abatement of rent, not
shall such revocation, diminution or requisition be deemed constructive or actual eviction. Any
tax, fee or charge of municipal authorities for such vault or area shall be paid by Tenant.
Occupancy: 15. Tenant will not at any time use or occupy the demised premises in violation of the
certificate of occupancy issued for the building of which the demised premises are a part. Tenant
has inspected the demised premises and accepts them as is, subject to the riders annexed hereto with
respect to Owners work, if any. In any event, Owner makes no representation as to the condition of
the demised premises, and Tenant agrees to accept the same subject to violations, whether or not of record.
Bankruptcy: 16. (a) Anything elsewhere in this lease to the contrary notwithstanding, this lease
may be cancelled by Owner by the sending of a written notice to Tenant within a reasonable time
after the happening of any one or more of the following events: (1) the commencement of a case in
bankruptcy or under the laws of any state naming Tenant (or a
guarantor of any of Tenants obligations under this lease) as
the debtor; or (2) the making by Tenant (or a guarantor of any
of Tenants obligations under this lease)
of an assignment or any other arrangement for the benefit of creditors under any state statute.
Neither Tenant nor any person claiming through or under Tenant, or by reason of any statute or
order of court, shall thereafter be entitled to possession of the premises demised but shall
forthwith quit and surrender the demised premises. If this lease shall be assigned in accordance with its
terms, the provisions of this Article 16 shall be applicable only to the party then owning Tenants
interest in this lease.
(b) It is stipulated and agreed that in the event of the termination of
this lease pursuant to (a) hereof, Owner shall forthwith, notwithstanding any other provisions of
this lease to the contrary, be entitled to recover from Tenant as and
for liquidated damages, an
amount equal to the difference between the rent reserved hereunder for the unexpired portion of the
term demised and the fair and reasonable rental value of the demised premises for the same period.
In the computation of such damages the difference between any installment of rent becoming due
hereunder after the date of termination, and the fair and reasonable rental value of the demised
premises for the period for which such installment was payable, shall be discounted to the date of
termination at the rate of four percent (4%) per annum. If such demised premises or any part thereof be
relet by the Owner for the unexpired term of said lease, or any part thereof, before presentation
of proof of such liquidated damages to any court, commission or tribunal, the amount of rent
reserved upon such re-letting shall be deemed to be the fair and reasonable rental value for the
part or the whole of the demised premises to re-let during the term of the re-letting. Nothing herein
contained shall limit or prejudice the right of the Owner to prove for and obtain as liquidated
damages, by reason of such termination, an amount equal to the maximum allowed by any statute or
rule of law in effect at the time when, and governing the proceedings in which, such damages are to
be proved, whether or not such amount be greater, equal to, or less than the amount of the
difference referred to above.
Default: 17. (1) If Tenant defaults in fulfilling any of the covenants of this lease other than the
covenants for the payment of rent or additional rent; or if the demised premises become vacant or
deserted; or if any execution or attachment shall be issued against Tenant or any of Tenants
property, whereupon the demised premises shall be taken or occupied by someone other than Tenant; or
if this lease be rejected under §365 of Title 11 of the U.S.
Code (Bankruptcy code); or if Tenant shall have failed, after five
(5) days written notice, to redeposit with Owner any portion of the
security deposit hereunder which Owner has applied to the payment of
any rent and additional rent due and payable hereunder, or if Tenant shall be in default
with respect to any other lease between Owner and Tenant; or if Tenant
shall fail to move into or take possession of the demised premises within thirty (30) days after the
commencement of the term of this lease, then, in any one or more of such events, upon Owner serving
a written fifteen (15) days notice upon Tenant specifying the nature of said default, and upon the expiration of said
fifteen (15) days, if Tenant shall have failed to comply with or remedy such default, 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 fifteen (15) day period and if Tenant shall not have
diligently commenced curing such default
within such fifteen (15) day period, and shall not thereafter with reasonable diligence and in good faith,
proceed to remedy or cure such default, then Owner may serve a written five (5) days notice of
cancellation of this lease upon Tenant, and upon the expiration of said five (5) days this lease
and the term thereunder shall end and expire as fully and completely as if the expiration of such
five (5) day period were the day herein
definitely fixed for the end and expiration of this lease and the term thereof, and Tenant shall
then quit and surrender the demised premises to Owner, but Tenant shall remain liable as hereinafter
provided.
(2) If the notice provided for in (1) hereof shall have been given and the term shall expire
as aforesaid; or if Tenant shall make default in the payment of the
rent reserved herein or any
item of additional rent herein mentioned, or any part of either, or in making any other payment
herein required; then, and in any of such events, Owner may without notice, re-enter the demised
premises either by force or otherwise, and dispossess Tenant by summary proceedings or otherwise,
and the legal representative of Tenant or other occupant of the
demised premises, and remove their
effects and hold the demised premises as if this lease had not been made, and Tenant hereby waives the
service of notice of intention to re-enter or to institute legal proceedings to that end. If Tenant
shall make default hereunder prior to the date fixed as the commencement of any renewal or
extension of this lease, Owner may cancel and terminate such renewal or extension agreement by
written notice.
Remedies of Owner and Waiver of Redemption: 18. In case of any such default, re-entry, expiration
and/or dispossess by summary proceedings or otherwise, (a) the rent shall become due thereupon and
be paid up to the time of such re-entry, dispossess and/or
expiration, (b) Owner may re-let the demised
premises or any part or parts thereof, either in the name of Owner or otherwise, for a term or
terms, which may at Owners 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 or charge
a higher rental than that in this lease, and/or (c) Tenant or the legal representatives of Tenant
shall also pay to Owner as liquidated damages for the failure of Tenant to observe and perform said
Tenants covenants herein contained, 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 for each month of the period which would otherwise have constituted
the balance of the term of this lease. The failure of Owner to re-let
the demised premises, or any part or
parts thereof, shall not release or affect Tenants liability for damages. In computing such
liquidated damages there shall be added to the said deficiency such expenses as Owner may incur in
connection with re-letting, such as legal expenses, reasonable attorneys fees, brokerage,
advertising and for keeping the demised premises in good order or for preparing the same for
re-letting. Any such liquidated damages shall be paid in monthly installments by Tenant on the rent
day 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 Owner to collect the deficiency for any
subsequent month by a similar proceeding. Owner, in putting the demised premises in good order or
preparing the same for re-rental may, at Owners option, make such alterations, repairs,
replacements, and/or decorations in the demised premises as Owner, in Owners sole judgment,
considers advisable and necessary for the purpose of re-letting the demised premises, and the
making of such alterations, repairs, replacements, and/or decorations shall not operate or be
construed to release Tenant from liability hereunder as aforesaid. Owner shall in no event be
liable in any way whatsoever for failure to re-let the demised premises, or in the event that the
demised premises are re-let, for failure to collect the rent thereof under such re-letting, and in
no event shall Tenant be entitled to receive any excess, if any, of such net rents collected over
the sums payable by Tenant to Owner hereunder. In the event of a breach or threatened breach by
Tenant of any of the covenants or provisions hereof. Owner shall have the right of injunction and
the right to invoke any remedy allowed at law or in equity as if re-entry, summary procedings and
other remedies were not herein provided for. Mention in this lease of any particular remedy, shall
not preclude Owner from any other remedy, in law or in equity. Tenant hereby expressly waives any
and all rights of redemption granted by or under any present or future laws in the event of Tenant
being evicted or dispossessed for any cause, or in the event of Owner obtaining possession of
demised premises, by reason of the violation by Tenant of any of the covenants and conditions of
this lease, or otherwise.
Fees and Expenses: 19. If Tenant shall default in the observance or performance of any term or
covenant on Tenants part to be observed or performed under, or by virtue of, any of the terms or
provisions in any article of this lease, after notice, if required, and upon expiration of any
applicable grace period, if any, (except in an emergency), then, unless otherwise provided elsewhere
in this lease, Owner may immediately, or at any time thereafter and
without notice, perform the
obligation of Tenant thereunder. If Owner, in connection with the
foregoing, or in connection with
any default by Tenant in the covenant to pay rent
hereunder, makes any expenditures or incurs any obligations for the payment of money, including but
not limited to reasonable attorneys fees, in instituting, prosecuting or defending any action or
proceeding, and prevails in any such action or proceeding then Tenant will reimburse Owner for such
sums so paid, or obligations incurred, with interest and costs. The foregoing expenses incurred by
reason of Tenants default shall be deemed to be additional rent
hereunder, and shall be paid by
Tenant to Owner within ten (10) days of rendition of any bill or
statement to Tenant therefore. If
Tenants lease term shall have expired at the time of making of such expenditures or incurring of
such obligations, such sums shall be recoverable by Owner, as damages.
Building Alterations and Management: 20. Owner shall have the right at any time without the same
constituting an eviction and without incurring liability to Tenant
therefore, to change the
arrangement and/or location of public entrances, passageways, doors, doorways, corridors,
elevators, stairs, toilets or other public parts of the building and to change the name, number or
designation by which the building may be known. Except in the case of a relocation to substitute space, there shall be no allowance to Tenant for
diminution of rental value and no liability on the part of Owner by reason of inconvenience,
annoyance or injury to business arising from Owner or other Tenants making any repairs in the
building or any such alterations, additions and improvements. Furthermore, Tenant shall not have
any claim against Owner by reason of Owners imposition of such controls of the manner of access to
the building by Tenants social or business visitors as the Owner may deem necessary for the
security of the building and its occupants.

No Representations Owner: 21. Neither Owner nor Owners agents have made any representations or
promises with respect to the physical condition of the building, the land upon which it is erected
or the demised remises, the rents, leases, expenses of operation or any other matter or thing affecting
or related to the demised premises, except as herein expressly set forth, and no rights, easements or
licenses are acquired by Tenant by implication or otherwise, except as expressly set forth in the
provisions of this lease. Tenant has inspected the building and the demised premises and is
thoroughly acquainted with their condition and agrees to take the
same as-is, and acknowledges
that the taking of possession of the demised premises by Tenant shall be conclusive evidence that
the said premises and the building of which the same form a part were in good and satisfactory
condition at the time such possession was so taken, except as to latent defects. All understandings
and agreements heretofore made between the parties hereto are merged in this contract, which alone
fully and completely expresses the agreement between Owner and Tenant, and any executory agreement
hereafter made shall be ineffective to change, modify, discharge or effect an abandonment of it in
whole or in part, unless such executory agreement is in writing and signed by the party against
whom enforcement of the change, modification, discharge or abandonment is sought.
End of Term: 22. Upon the expiration or other termination of the term of this lease, Tenant shall
quit and surrender to Owner the demised premises, broom
clean, in good order and condition,
ordinary wear and damages which Tenant is not required to repair as provided elsewhere in this
lease excepted, and Tenant shall remove all its property. Tenants obligation to observe or perform
this covenant shall survive the expiration or other termination of this lease. If the last day of
the term of this lease or any renewal thereof, falls on Sunday, this lease shall expire at noon on
the preceding Saturday, unless it be a legal holiday, in which case it shall expire at noon on the
preceding business day.
Quiet Enjoyment: 23. Owner covenants and agrees with Tenant that upon Tenant paying the rent and
additional rent and observing and performing all the terms, covenants and conditions, on Tenants
part to be observed and performed, Tenant may peaceably and quietly enjoy the premises hereby
demised, subject, nevertheless, to the terms and conditions of this lease including, but not
limited to, Article 31 hereof and to the ground leases, underlying leases and mortgages
hereinbefore mentioned.
Failure to Give Possession: 24. If Owner is unable to give possession of the demised premises on
the date of the commencement of the term hereof because of the holding-over or retention of
possession of any tenant, undertenant or occupants, or if the demised premises are located in a
building being constructed, because such building has not been sufficiently completed to make the
demised premises ready for occupancy, or because of the fact that a certificate of occupancy has not been
procured, or for any other reason, Owner shall not be subject to any liability for failure to give
possession on said date and the validity of the lease
shall not be impaired under such circumstances, nor shall the same be
construed in any way to
extend the term of this lease, but the rent payable hereunder shall be abated (provided Tenant is
not responsible for Owners inability to obtain possession or complete construction) until after
Owner shall have given Tenant written notice that the Owner is able to deliver possession in
condition required by this lease. If permission is given to Tenant to enter into possession of
the demises premises, or to occupy premises other than the demised
premises, prior to the date
specified as the commencement of the term of this lease, Tenant covenants and agrees that such
possession and/or occupancy shall be deemed to be under all the terms, covenants, conditions and
provisions of this lease, except the obligation to pay the fixed annual rent set forth in the
preamble to this lease. The provisions of this article are intended to constitute an express
provision to the contrary within the meaning of Section 223-a of the New York Real Property Law.
No Waiver: 25. The failure of Owner to seek redress for violation of, or to insist upon the strict
performance of, any covenant or condition of this lease or of any of the Rules or Regulations, set
forth or hereafter adopted by Owner, 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 receipt
by Owner of rent and/or additional rent with knowledge of the breach of any covenant of this lease
shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach, and no provision of this lease shall be deemed to have
been waived by Owner unless such waiver be in writing signed by Owner. No payment by Tenant or
receipt by Owner of a lesser amount than the monthly rent herein stipulated shall be deemed to be
other than on account of the earliest stipulated rent, nor shall any endorsement or statement of
any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment as rent be deemed an accord and
satisfaction, and Owner may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Owners right to
recover the balance of such rent or pursue any other remedy in this lease provided. No act or thing
done by Owner or Owners agents during the term hereby demised shall be deemed an acceptance of a
surrender of the demised premises, and no agreement to accept such surrender shall be valid unless in
writing signed by Owner. No employee of Owner or Owners agent shall have any power to accept the
keys of said premises prior to the termination of the lease, and the delivery of keys to any such
agent or employee shall not operate as a termination of the lease or
a surrender of the demised premises.
Waiver of Trial by Jury: 26. It is mutually agreed by and between Owner and Tenant that the
respective parties hereto shall, and they hereby do, waive trial by jury in any action proceeding or
counterclaim brought by either of the parties hereto against the other (except for personal injury
or property damage) on any matters whatsoever arising out of, or in
any way connected with, this
lease, the relationship of Owner and Tenant, Tenants use of, or
occupancy of, the demised premises, and any
emergency statutory or any other statutory remedy. It is further mutually agreed that in the event
Owner commences any proceeding or action for possession, including a summary proceeding for
possession of the demised premises, Tenant will not interpose any counterclaim of whatever nature or
description in any such proceeding, including a counterclaim under Article 4, except for statutory
mandatory counterclaims.
Inability to Perform: 27. This lease and the obligation of Tenant to pay rent hereunder and perform
all of the other covenants and agreements hereunder on part of Tenant to be performed shall in no
way be affected, impaired or excused because Owner is unable to fulfill any of its obligations
under this lease, or to supply, or is delayed in supplying, any service expressly or impliedly to be
supplied, or is unable to make, or is delayed in making, any repair,
additions, alterations, or
decorations, or is unable to supply, or is delayed in supplying, any equipment, fixtures, or other
materials, if Owner is prevented or delayed from so doing by reason of strike or labor troubles or
any cause whatsoever including, but not limited to, government preemption or restrictions, or by
reason of any rule, order or regulation of any department or subdivision thereof of any government
agency, or by reason of the conditions which have been or are affected, either directly or
indirectly, by war or other emergency.

notice, statement, demand or other communication required or
permitted to be given, rendered or made by either party to the other,

If the building of which the demised premises are a part supplies manually operated elevator
