(ii)that except for the sum then requested, there is no outstanding indebtedness (other than the withholding of not more than ten (10%) percent of the cost of the Initial Work for any request other than the Final Request) known to the persons signing such certificate, which is then due for labor, wages, materials, supplies or services in connection with the Initial Work which, if unpaid, might immediately become the basis of a vendor's, mechanic's, laborer's or material man's statutory or similar lien upon such work or upon the Real Property and Building or any part thereof or upon Tenant's leasehold interest; and

(iii)the percentage of the Initial Work theretofore completed and the then total projected cost of the Initial Work.

(C)Subject to the provisions of Subsection 4.03(A), upon compliance with the foregoing provisions of Subsection 4.03(B), Landlord shall pay or cause to be paid to Tenant or the persons named (pursuant to Subsection 4.03(B)(b)(i)) in such Request, the respective amounts stated therein to be due to them provided, however, that Landlord's Contribution shall not exceed Seven Million Five Hundred Eighty Thousand Five Hundred Sixty and 00/100 ($7,580,560.00) Dollars and that all costs and expenses of the Initial Work in excess of said sums shall be borne solely by Tenant.
(D)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 4.03, if Tenant has not used a portion of Landlord’s Contribution by the Contribution Deadline, then Tenant may, upon written notice to Landlord, sent within one hundred eighty (180) days after the Contribution Deadline, apply any unused portion of Landlord’s Contribution against the next installments of fixed rent and additional rent on account of Tax Escalations and Operating Expense Escalations coming due under this lease.

(C)"Taxes" shall mean (i) all real estate taxes and assessments (special or otherwise), sewer and water rents, rates and charges and any other governmental levies, impositions, fees or charges of a similar or dissimilar nature, whether general, special, ordinary, extraordinary, foreseen or unforeseen, which may be Imposed (as defined in Subsection 5.01(H)) upon all or any part of the Taxable Property, whether or not the Taxable Property constitutes one tax lot, a portion of a tax lot or more than one tax lot, and (ii) any reasonable expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements and experts' and other witnesses' fees) incurred by or on behalf of

Landlord in protesting or contesting any of the foregoing or the assessed valuation of all or any part of the Taxable Property. If at any time the methods of taxation prevailing at the date hereof shall be altered so that in lieu of or as an addition to or as a substitute for the whole or any part of the taxes and assessments now Imposed upon all or any part of the Taxable Property, there shall be Imposed (a) a tax, assessment, levy, capital levy or otherwise, or (b) a tax, assessment, levy, imposition or charge measured by or based in whole or in part upon all or any part of the Taxable Property or the value thereof or any personal property or fixture component thereof and imposed upon Landlord, or (c) a license fee measured by the rents, or (d) a net income, franchise, "value added", inheritance, estate or other tax, assessment, levy imposition, charge or license fee however described or imposed, then all such taxes, assessments, levies, impositions, charges or license fees, or the part thereof so measured or based, shall be deemed to be Taxes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Taxes shall not include (i) any tax abatement, reduction, credit or exemption permitted or granted to Landlord or any tenant or other occupant of the Building by any governmental or quasi-governmental authority; (ii) income, franchise, documentary, stamp, inheritance or capital stock taxes unless due to a change in the method of taxation, any of such taxes are levied or assessed against the Landlord or Property; and (iii) late payment penalties. The benefit of any discount for any early payment or prepayment of Taxes and of any tax exemption or abatement relating to all or any part of the Taxable Property shall accrue solely to the benefit of Landlord and Taxes shall be computed without subtracting such discount or taking into account any such exemption or abatement.
(D)"Base Tax Year" shall mean the sum of (i) Taxes due for the real estate tax fiscal year July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2022; plus (ii) the Taxes due for the real estate tax fiscal year July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2023; divided by two (2).

(H)"Imposed" shall mean, with respect to any component of Taxes, that such component may be assessed, levied or imposed.
5.02 Payments. (A) Commencing on January 1, 2023, Tenant shall pay as additional rent for each Tax Year, all or any portion of which shall be within the Term a sum ("Tenant's Tax Payment") equal to Tenant's Tax Proportionate Share of the amount by which the Taxes for such Tax Year (or portion thereof) exceed the Base Tax Rate, payable in two equal semi-annual installments, in advance on the first day of each June and December during each Tax Year, based upon the Landlord's Tax Statement

furnished by Landlord with respect to such Tax Year, until such time as a new Landlord's Tax Statement for a subsequent Tax Year shall become effective. If any such Landlord's Tax Statement is furnished to Tenant after the commencement of a Tax Year in respect of which such Landlord's Tax Statement is rendered, Tenant shall, within 15 days thereafter, pay to Landlord an amount equal to the amount of any underpayment of Tenant's Tax Payment with respect to such Tax Year and, in the event of an overpayment, Landlord will credit Tenant the amount of Tenant's overpayment against subsequent payments under this Article. If there shall be any increase in Taxes for any Tax Year, whether during or after such Tax Year, Landlord shall furnish a revised Landlord's Tax Statement for such Tax Year, and Tenant's Tax Payment for such Tax Year shall be adjusted and paid substantially in the same manner as provided in the preceding sentence. If during the Term, Taxes are required to be paid (to the appropriate taxing authorities) in full or in monthly, quarterly, or other installments, on any other date or dates than as presently required, then at Landlord's option, Tenant's Tax Payments shall be correspondingly accelerated or revised so that said Tenant's Tax Payments are due at least 30 days prior to the date payments are due to the taxing authorities. Whenever so requested, but not more often than once a year, Landlord will furnish Tenant with a reproduced copy of the bill (or receipted bill) for Taxes for the current or next preceding Tax Year.
(B)If the period constituting the Tax Year shall be changed at any time, any Taxes for such fiscal year, a part of which is included within a particular Tax Year and a part of which is not so included, shall be apportioned on the basis of the number of days in such fiscal year included in the particular Tax Year for the purpose of making the computations under this Article. If the imposition or allocation of Taxes for any Tax Year is delayed for any reason, Tenant shall nevertheless continue to pay Tenant's Tax Payment then in effect subject to retroactive adjustment at such time as Taxes are imposed or allocated. If the BID Charge, or any other component of Taxes, shall be payable on the basis of a fiscal year other than the Tax Year, then Landlord, at its option, may (but shall not be required to), require payment of the same as a separate payment from that of the remainder of Tenant's Tax Payment, such payment to be made as herein provided in all respects except that it shall be on the basis of such fiscal year rather than on the basis of the Tax Year. In such event, the payment of the remainder of Tenant's Tax Payment shall continue to be made as herein provided with respect to each Tax Year.
(C)As between Tenant and Landlord, only Landlord shall have the right to institute tax reduction or other proceedings to reduce the Taxes or the assessed valuation of the Taxable Property, which Landlord shall institute on an annual basis unless Landlord’s certiorari counsel recommends to not institute a tax reduction or other proceeding to reduce Taxes or the assessed valuation for a particular Tax Year. As used herein "Tenant’s Deemed Percentage" shall mean in any Tax Year the percentage paid by Tenant of all of the Taxes paid (or deemed paid) for the entire Taxable Property for such Tax Year. If Landlord shall receive a refund of Taxes for any Tax Year in respect of which Tenant has made a Tenant's Tax Payment, Landlord shall either pay to Tenant or, at Landlord's election, credit against subsequent payments of fixed rent, Tenant's Deemed Percentage of such refund or deemed refund (less expenses), but in no event

to exceed Tenant's Tax Payment paid for the Tax Year in respect of which the refund (or deemed refund) is received.
(D)Tenant's Tax Payment and any credits with respect thereto shall be made as provided in this Section regardless of the fact that Tenant may be exempt, in whole or in part, from the payment of any taxes by reason of Tenant's diplomatic or other tax exempt status or for any other reason whatsoever.
(E)If any occupancy tax or rent tax now in effect or hereafter enacted and payable with respect to the Demised Premises or this lease, shall at any time be payable by Landlord, then to the fullest extent permissible by law Tenant shall pay the same to Landlord, within five (5) business days after demand, as additional rent.
(F)If a Tax Year begins prior to the Commencement Date or ends after the Expiration Date or sooner termination of this lease (other than pursuant to Article 26), Tenant's Tax Payment with respect to such Tax Year shall be apportioned in the ratio of the number of days in such Tax Year occurring within the Term to the total number of days in such Tax Year.
5.03 Survival. In the event of a termination of this lease, any additional rent under this Article shall be paid or adjusted within thirty (30) days after submission of a Landlord's Tax Statement. The rights and obligations of Landlord and Tenant under this Article shall survive the expiration or other termination of this lease.
5.04 Agreed Formula. The computations under this Article are intended to constitute an agreed formula for the computation of an item of additional rent and may or may not constitute reimbursement to Landlord for actual costs and expenses paid by Landlord with respect to or in lieu of Taxes. In no event shall fixed rent be reduced by operation of this Article.
5.05 Landlord's Tax Statements. Landlord's failure to render Landlord's Tax Statements with respect to any Tax Year shall not prejudice Landlord's right to thereafter render a Landlord's Tax Statement for such Tax Year or for any subsequent Tax Year, nor shall the rendering of a Landlord's Tax Statement prejudice Landlord's right to thereafter render a corrected Landlord's Tax Statement for that Tax Year. Nothing contained herein shall restrict Landlord from issuing a Landlord's Tax Statement at any time there is a change in Taxes during any Tax Year or any time thereafter. Each Landlord's Tax Statement shall be conclusive and binding upon Tenant.
5.06 BID Charges. In addition to Tenant’s Tax Payment, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as additional rent, with respect to each Tax Year during the Term of this lease, an amount (collectively, “Tenant’s BID Payment”) equal to Tenant’s Tax Proportionate Share of the BID Charges (as hereinafter defined) for such Tax Year. At any time prior to, during or after the expiration of such Tax Year, Landlord may furnish to Tenant a statement (which shall include invoices or other reasonably detailed evidence of the BID Charges for such Tax Year) setting forth the Tenant’s BID Payment for such Tax Year, which Tenant shall pay within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s receipt of such statement

from Landlord. The BID Charges upon which Tenant’s BID Payment is based shall be appropriately pro rated for the Tax Years in which the Commencement Date and Expiration Date shall occur. As used herein, the term “BID Charges” means all charges imposed upon or against the Land, the Building and/or Landlord with respect to any business improvement district.
5.07 Lower Manhattan Real Property Tax Abatement. Nothing in this lease shall preclude Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, from making application for a tax abatement under the Lower Manhattan Real Property Tax Abatement (the "Abatement") pursuant to Title 4 of Article 4 of the Real Property Tax Law of the State of New York (the "RPTL") or any other tax incentive or abatement plan which may be applicable to the Demised Premises, the benefits to which Tenant is entitled pursuant to Tenant’s right to apply for benefits or to automatically receive benefits pursuant to Legal Requirements (the “Benefit Program”). For purposes of this Section 5.07, unless otherwise defined in this lease, all terms used in this Section shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Title 4 of Article 4 of the RPTL.
(A)Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that for purposes of Title 4 of the RPTL, "tenant's percentage share" shall be deemed to be Tenant's Tax Proportionate Share set forth in Section 5.01(A) of this Article (i.e. 2.68%).
(B)Pursuant to Section 499-c.5 of the RPTL, Tenant is hereby informed

that:
(a)an application for an Abatement will be made for the Demised
(b)the rent payable by Tenant under this lease, including amounts payable by Tenant for real property taxes, will accurately reflect any abatement of real property taxes;
(c)in order to receive the Abatement, at least $10.00 per square foot or $35.00 per square foot (or if by the sixtieth (60th) day following the expiration of the Free Fixed Rent Period Tenant employs one hundred twenty-five (125) or fewer employees in the Demised Premises, then at least $5.00 per square foot) must be spent on improvements to the Demised Premises and the common areas, the amount being dependent on the length of the lease and whether it is a new or renewal lease; and
(d)all abatements granted with respect to a building pursuant to Title 4 of the RPTL will be revoked if, during the benefit period, real estate taxes or water or sewer charges or other lienable charges are unpaid for more than one year, unless such delinquent amounts are paid as provided in Subdivision 4 of Section 499-f of the RPTL.
(C)Tenant agrees to pay (i) all costs and expenses to make an application for the Abatement or any Benefit Program (the "Application"), including but not limited to the filing fee, and (ii) all other fees regarding the Abatement or any Benefit

Program covering this lease. Tenant agrees that Tenant, and not Landlord, shall (a) pursue the Abatement or any Benefit Program in a reasonable manner and (b) be responsible to comply with all requirements ancillary to the Abatement or any Benefit Program, and in this regard Tenant, and not Landlord, is fully responsible to timely submit, and for the accuracy of, the Application, all documentation ancillary to the Application (e.g., lease abstract, statement of expenditures on improvements, statement of number of employees), and all documentation ancillary to the Abatement or any Benefit Program (e.g., statement that requirements have been met, annual Certificate of Continuing Use, notification of Tenant's vacating).
(A)Landlord shall reasonably cooperate with Tenant, at no cost or expense to Landlord in providing required information for and executing the Application and any required ancillary documentation, but Landlord shall not be required to join Tenant in executing the Application or any ancillary documentation if doing so would result in any cost, loss, damage or liability to Landlord, or if Landlord has knowledge that the Application or any ancillary documentation is not accurately completed (provided that in such case Landlord shall advise Tenant of such inaccuracies). Landlord shall credit against fixed rent and additional rent due under this lease, the amount of any Tax reduction actually received by Landlord under the Abatement or other Benefit Program as a result of Tenant's Application, unless same is otherwise received directly by Tenant. Landlord agrees to cause real estate taxes, and water and sewer charges for the Building, to be paid prior to the date which the Abatement may be revoked as a result of non- payment thereof.
(B)Tenant shall promptly pay to Landlord, upon demand therefor, as additional rent hereunder, (a) the amount of all or any portion of the benefits in connection with the Abatement or any Benefit Program that have been paid or credited against fixed rent and/or additional rent becoming due hereunder, and which are thereafter revoked, denied, reduced, terminated or suspended as a result of the acts or omissions of Tenant and/or any Tenant’s Parties or if such benefits are revoked due to the exercise by Tenant of its right to assign or sublease pursuant to Article 10 hereof, together with any interest and/or penalties imposed against Landlord in connection with such benefits; and (b) any reasonable costs incurred by Landlord in connection with the performance of Landlord's obligations pursuant to this Section.
(C)Tenant hereby acknowledges that Landlord has made no representations or warranties to Tenant with respect to Abatement or of any potential tax abatement or of any other benefits, credits or abatements arising therefrom to which Tenant may be entitled. Tenant's obligation to make Tenant's Tax Payment shall not in any way be affected, reduced or impaired by reason of Tenant's failure to qualify for, or obtain, any potential tax abatement.

6.03 Certain Capital Expenditures; Gross-Up of Operating Expenses.
(A)If Landlord shall purchase any item of capital equipment or make any capital expenditure which has the effect of reducing the expenses (including, without limitation, consumption of electricity, oil, natural gas, steam water or other utilities) which would otherwise be included in Operating Expenses or which would otherwise be incurred directly by Tenant, then the costs of such capital equipment or capital expenditure are to be included in Operating Expenses for each Escalation Year occurring following the Base Year from and after the Escalation Year in which the costs are incurred, on a straight line basis, to the extent that such items are amortized over such period of time as Landlord reasonably estimates such savings or reductions are expected to equal Landlord's costs for such capital equipment or capital expenditure, with an annual interest factor equal to two (2) percentage points above the Base Rate at the time of Landlord's having made said expenditure. If Landlord shall lease any items of capital equipment designed to result in savings or reductions in expenses which would otherwise be included in Operating Expenses or which would otherwise be incurred directly by Tenant, then the rentals and other costs paid pursuant to such leasing shall be included in Operating Expenses for the Escalation Year in which they were incurred.
(B)If during all or part of any Escalation Year, Landlord shall not furnish any particular item(s) of work or service (which would otherwise constitute an Operating Expense hereunder) to portions of the Building due to the fact that (i) such portions are not occupied or leased, (ii) such item of work or service is not required or desired by the tenant of such portion, (iii) such tenant is itself obtaining and providing such item of work or service or (iv) for other reasons, then, for the purposes of computing Operating Expenses, the amount for such item and for such period shall be deemed to be increased

by an amount equal to the additional costs and expenses which would reasonably have been incurred during such period by Landlord if it had at its own expense furnished such item of work or services to such portion of the Building or to such tenant and the Building were ninety-five percent (95%) occupied. Landlord will use a consistent methodology from year to year when making such adjustments.
6.04 Estimates and Payments. (A) For each Escalation Year commencing during the Term, Tenant shall pay ("Tenant's Operating Payment") to Landlord, as additional rent, a sum equal to Tenant's OE Proportionate Share of the amount by which Operating Expenses for such Escalation Year exceeds the Operating Expenses for the Base Year.
(B)Landlord shall furnish to Tenant, prior to the commencement of each Escalation Year, a written statement setting forth Landlord's reasonable estimate of Tenant's Operating Payment for such Escalation Year, and the method of calculation of Tenant's Operating Payment for such Escalation Year. Tenant shall pay to Landlord on the first day of each month during such Escalation Year an amount equal to one twelfth (1/12th) of Landlord's estimate of Tenant's Operating Payment for such Escalation Year. If, however, Landlord shall furnish any such estimate for an Escalation Year subsequent to the commencement thereof, then (a) until the first day of the month following the month in which such estimate is furnished to Tenant, Tenant shall pay to Landlord on the first day of each month an amount equal to the monthly sum payable by Tenant to Landlord under this Section 6.04 in respect of the last month of the preceding Escalation Year; (b) promptly after such estimate is furnished to Tenant or together therewith, Landlord shall give notice to Tenant stating whether the installments of Tenant's Operating Payment previously made for such Escalation Year were greater or less than the installments of the Tenant's Operating Payment to be made for such Escalation Year in accordance with such estimate, and (i) if there shall be a deficiency, Tenant shall pay the amount thereof within ten (10) days after demand therefor, or (ii) if there shall have been an overpayment, Landlord shall either refund to Tenant the amount thereof or permit Tenant to credit the amount thereof against subsequent payments under this Section; and (c) on the first day of the month following the month in which such estimate is furnished to Tenant, and monthly thereafter throughout the remainder of such Escalation Year, Tenant shall pay to Landlord an amount equal to one twelfth (1/12th) of Tenant's Operating Payment shown on such estimate. Landlord may at any time or from time to time (but not more than twice during any Escalation Year) furnish to Tenant a revised statement of Landlord's estimate of Tenant's Operating Payment for such Escalation Year, and in such case, Tenant's Operating Payment for such Escalation Year shall be adjusted and paid or refunded, as the case may be, substantially in the same manner as provided in the preceding sentence.
(C)After the end of each Escalation Year Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a statement of the amount of Tenant's Operating Payment for such Escalation Year ("Landlord's Operating Statement"). Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to send Tenant a Landlord’s Statement within one hundred and eighty (180) days after the end of each Escalation Year. Each such year end Landlord's Operating Statement shall be accompanied by a computation of Operating Expenses for the Building prepared by a certified public accountant or managing agent designated by Landlord from

which Landlord shall make the computation of Operating Expenses hereunder. If the Landlord's Operating Statement shall show that the sums paid by Tenant under this Section exceeded Tenant's Operating Payment payable by Tenant for such Escalation Year, Landlord shall either refund to Tenant the amount of such excess or permit Tenant to credit the amount of such excess against subsequent payments under this Section provided that if the Term has expired, any such amounts shall be refunded to Tenant no later than thirty (30) days following the completion of Landlord’s Operating Statement; and if the Landlord's Operating Statement for such Escalation Year shall show that the sums so paid by Tenant were less than Tenant's Operating Payment payable by Tenant for such Escalation Year, Tenant shall pay the amount of such deficiency within thirty (30) days after demand therefor.
(D)The computation under this Article is intended to constitute a formula for an agreed rental escalation and may or may not constitute an actual reimbursement to Landlord for its costs and expenses paid by Landlord with respect to the Real Property and Building.
(E)If the Commencement Date or the Expiration Date shall occur on a date other than January 1 or December 31, respectively, any additional rent under this Article for the Escalation Year in which such Commencement Date or Expiration Date shall occur shall be apportioned in that percentage which the number of days in the period from the Commencement Date to December 31 or from January 1 to the Expiration Date, as the case may be, both inclusive, shall bear to the total number of days in such Escalation Year. In the event of a termination of this lease, any additional rent under this Article shall be paid or adjusted within thirty (30) days after submission of a Landlord's Operating Statement. In no event shall fixed rent ever be reduced by operation of this Article and the rights and obligations of Landlord and Tenant under the provisions of this Article with respect to any additional rent shall survive the termination of this lease.
6.05 Landlord's Statements. (A) Landlord's failure to render Landlord's Operating Statement with respect to any Escalation Year shall not prejudice Landlord's right to thereafter render a Landlord's Operating Statement with respect thereto or with respect to any subsequent Escalation Year unless such failure to render Landlord’s Operating Statement continues for more than two (2) years beyond the end of the applicable Escalation Year. Nothing herein contained shall restrict Landlord from issuing Landlord's Operating Statements at any time there is an increase in Operating Expenses during any Escalation Year or any time thereafter, provided, however, Tenant shall use reasonable efforts not to issue a Landlord’s Operating Statement more than two (2) times per calendar year.
(B) Each Landlord's Operating Statement shall be conclusive and binding upon Tenant unless within one hundred eighty (180) days after receipt of such Landlord's Operating Statement Tenant shall notify Landlord that it disputes the correctness of Landlord's Operating Statement. Tenant recognizes and agrees that Landlord's books and records, and those of Landlord's agents with respect to the operation of the Real Property and Building are confidential and that Tenant shall have no right to inspect the same, except as expressly provided herein. Upon delivery of such

notice by Tenant and execution by Tenant of a reasonable non-disclosure agreement prepared by Landlord and reasonably acceptable to Tenant, Landlord shall make available to Tenant and Tenant's certified public accountants or third party auditors (provided such accountants or auditors are not compensated directly or indirectly on a contingency basis) for inspection of Landlord's books and records for the particular Escalation Year being disputed, for a period of ninety (90) days after delivery of the relevant dispute notice by Tenant. Such books and records shall be made available for inspection by Tenant and such accountants, upon at least thirty (30) days' prior notice, during business hours at a location in the Borough of Manhattan reasonably designated by Landlord. Landlord shall reasonably cooperate with Tenant in its inspection of such books and records. If Tenant shall dispute the correctness of Landlord's Operating Statement as aforesaid, and the parties shall not be able to resolve such dispute within ninety (90) days after the delivery of the relevant dispute notice, then the matter or matters in dispute shall be resolved by an independent certified public accountant selected by Landlord and reasonably approved by Tenant. The fees and expenses of said accountants in determining such matter or matters shall be borne by the unsuccessful party (and if both parties are partially unsuccessful, the accountant shall apportion the fees and disbursements between the parties based upon the degree of success of each party). Notwithstanding the giving of such notice by Tenant and pending the resolution of any such dispute, Tenant shall pay to Landlord when due the amount shown on any such Landlord's Operating Statement as provided in this Article, but such payment shall be without prejudice to Tenant's rights hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such dispute is resolved in Tenant’s favor and it is finally determined that Landlord overcharged Tenant by more than five percent (5%) for any particular Escalation Year, then Landlord shall pay Tenant’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs in connection with such dispute.
ARTICLE 7 RENEWAL TERM
7.01 Exercise of Renewal Option. Subject to the provisions hereinafter set
forth, BarkBox, Inc. (“Tenant Named Herein”) or any Permitted Transferee (as hereinafter defined) shall have the one (1) time option (the "Renewal Option") to extend the Term of this lease for one (1) additional period of five (5) years (the "Renewal Term"), which Renewal Term shall commence on October 1, 2038 and end on September 30, 2043, provided that (a) this lease shall not have been previously terminated, (b) Tenant Named Herein or any Permitted Transferee shall occupy at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the Demised Premises for the conduct of its business, (c) Tenant shall not be in default under this lease, beyond the expiration of applicable notice and cure periods herein provided (x) on the date Tenant gives Landlord written notice (the "Renewal Notice") of Tenant's election to exercise the Renewal Option, or, at the option of Landlord, (y) on the Expiration Date, and (d) at least thirty (30) days prior to the commencement of the Renewal Term, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a new Letter (hereinafter defined) or an amendment to the existing Letter extending the final expiry date thereof to sixty (60) days following the final day of the Renewal Term. The Renewal Option may be exercised with respect to the entire Demised Premises only (provided, however, if at the time of the exercise of the Renewal Option the Demised Premises

consists of more than one (1) full floor, then Tenant may exercise the Renewal Option for only the one (1) full floor) and shall be exercisable by Tenant delivering the Renewal Notice to Landlord at least fifteen (15) months, but no more than twenty-four (24) months prior to the Expiration Date. Time is of the essence with respect to the giving of the Renewal Notice. Upon the giving of the Renewal Notice, Tenant shall have no further right or option to extend or renew the Term of this lease.
7.02 Terms of Renewal. If Tenant exercises the Renewal Option, the Renewal Term shall be upon the same terms, covenants and conditions as those contained in this lease, except that the fixed rent payable during the Renewal Term shall be deemed to equal one hundred (100%) percent of the annual Fair Market Rent of the Demised Premises on the first (1st) day of the Renewal Term determined in accordance with Exhibit H annexed hereto and made a part hereof (the “Fair Market Rent Determination Procedure"), (b) Tenant shall not be entitled to any free rent period or Base Building Work or Landlord’s Contribution, unless Landlord at its sole discretion shall elect to provide same, and (c) during the Renewal Term Tenant shall have no further right to renew this lease..
ARTICLE 8 SUBORDINATION
8.01 Subordination. (A) Subject to the express provisions of Section 8.04
hereof, this lease, and all rights of Tenant hereunder, are and shall be subject and subordinate in all respects to all ground leases, overriding leases and underlying leases of the Real Property and/or the Building now or hereafter existing and to all mortgages which may now or hereafter affect the Real Property and/or the Building and/or any of such leases, whether or not such mortgages shall also cover other lands and/or buildings, to each and every advance made or hereafter to be made under such mortgages, and to all renewals, modifications, replacements and extensions of such leases and such mortgages and spreaders and consolidations of such mortgages. Subject to the express provisions of Section 8.04 hereof, this Section shall be self-operative and no further instrument of subordination shall be required. In confirmation of such subordination, Tenant shall promptly execute and deliver any instrument that Landlord, the lessor of any such lease or the holder of any such mortgage or any of their respective successors in interest may request to evidence subordination. The leases to which this lease is, at the time referred to, subject and subordinate pursuant to this Article are hereinafter sometimes referred to as "Superior Leases" and a lessor thereunder is sometimes referred to as a "Superior Lessor". The mortgages to which this lease is, at the time referred to, subject and subordinate are hereinafter sometimes referred to as "Superior Mortgages" and a mortgagee thereunder sometimes referred to as a "Superior Mortgagee". If, in connection with the obtaining, continuing or renewing of financing, an existing or prospective Superior Lessor or Superior Mortgagee shall request reasonable modifications of this lease as a condition of such financing, Tenant will not unreasonably withhold its consent thereto, provided that such modifications do not materially and adversely either increase the obligations of Tenant hereunder or affect the rights of Tenant under this lease. It is expressly agreed by Tenant that if the provisions of any

Superior Leases or Superior Mortgages require, with respect to casualty damage to, or condemnation of, any property at the Demised Premises (other than damage to Tenant's Property), that any insurance proceeds payable with respect thereto, and any funds required to be paid by Tenant with respect to the restoration of such casualty damage or condemnation which is not covered by insurance proceeds or any condemnation award, shall be paid into an escrow or depository account by Tenant, and released pursuant to the conditions of such Superior Lease or Superior Mortgage, then Tenant shall fully comply with all such provisions.
(B)Without limiting the generality of the provisions of the foregoing Subsection 8.01(A), Tenant acknowledges receipt of advice from Landlord to the effect that this lease, and all rights of Tenant hereunder, are and shall be subject and subordinate in all respects to the lease dated as of July 15, 1955, between Webb & Knapp, Inc., as landlord, and 13039 Corporation, as tenant, as such lease has been amended, and as assigned by mesne assignments to Landlord with respect to the interest of the tenant thereunder, and to 120 Broadway, LLC with respect to the interest of the landlord thereunder. (together with any successors-in-interest thereto, “Ground Lessor”; such lease, together with any amendments, restatements, replacements, supplements, or other modifications thereof, the “Ground Lease”). Landlord will notify Tenant if Landlord receives any notice of default under the Ground Lease and represents that, as of the date hereof, no such notice has been received by Landlord.
(C)Landlord hereby represents and warrants to Tenant that (i) Landlord is the lessee under the Ground Lease and has the right to enter into this lease without the consent of the Superior Lessor under the Ground Lease (or has otherwise obtained any such consent), (ii) the Superior Lessor under the Ground Lease has no notice, approval, or consent rights of this lease under the Ground Lease that are in addition to or inconsistent with the notice, approval, and consent rights in favor of Landlord under this lease (or Landlord has otherwise obtained any such approval or consent, and in the future will obtain any such approval, if the same is required), (iii) Tenant shall not be required to comply with any covenants or other obligations under the Ground Lease that are in addition to or inconsistent with the covenants or other obligations applicable to Tenant under this lease, (iv) nothing in the Ground Lease shall impair, burden, delay, or adversely affect any right of Landlord or Tenant hereunder or cause Tenant to incur any additional obligation or expense not otherwise expressly set forth herein, nor shall this lease be deemed a violation, breach, or default of the Ground Lease in any respect, (v) the existing term of the Ground Lease expires on July 31, 2039 and Landlord has forty-three (43) options to renew the Ground Lease for twenty-one (21) years each plus one (1) option to renew the Ground Lease for twelve (12) years, and if the term of the Ground Lease shall expire during the Term hereof, Landlord shall exercise its option to renew the Ground Lease. Landlord shall not cause or permit the Ground Lease to be amended, restated, supplemented, or otherwise modified to the extent the same would increase Tenant’s obligations or Landlord’s rights under this lease, or decrease Tenant’s rights or Landlord’s obligations under this lease.
8.02 Notice and Cure. In the event of any act or omission of Landlord which would give Tenant the right, immediately or after lapse of a period of time, to cancel or

terminate this lease, or to claim a partial or total eviction, then subject to the terms of any existing SNDA, Tenant shall not exercise such right (i) until it has given written notice of such act or omission to each Superior Mortgagee and Superior Lessor whose name and address shall previously have been furnished to Tenant in writing, and (ii) unless such act or omission shall be one which is not capable of being remedied by Landlord or such Superior Mortgagee or Superior Lessor within a reasonable period of time, until a reasonable period for remedying such act or omission shall have elapsed following the giving of such notice and following the time when such Superior Mortgagee or Superior Lessor shall have become entitled under its Superior Mortgage or Superior Lease, as the case may be, to remedy the same (which reasonable period shall in no event be less than the period to which Landlord would be entitled under this lease or otherwise, after similar notice, to effect such remedy), provided such holder or lessor shall with due diligence give Tenant written notice of intention to, and commence and continue to remedy such act or omission.
8.03 Attornment. If a Superior Mortgagee or Superior Lessor shall succeed to the rights of Landlord under this lease, whether through possession or foreclosure action or delivery of a new lease or deed, then at the option and upon request of such party so succeeding to Landlord's rights (herein sometimes referred to as "Successor Landlord") but subject to the terms of any existing SNDA and upon Successor Landlord's written agreement to accept Tenant's attornment, Tenant shall attorn to and recognize Successor Landlord as Tenant's landlord under this lease, and shall promptly execute and deliver any instrument that Successor Landlord may reasonably request to evidence such attornment. Upon such attornment this lease shall continue in full force and effect as, or as if it were, a direct lease between Successor Landlord and Tenant upon all of the terms, conditions and covenants as are set forth in this lease and shall be applicable after such attornment except that Successor Landlord shall not:
(a)be liable for any previous act or omission of Landlord
under this lease;
(b)be subject to any credits, offsets, claims,
counterclaims, demands or defenses, which shall have theretofore accrued to Tenant against Landlord;
(c)be bound by any previous amendment or modification of this lease, not expressly provided for in this lease, or by any previous prepayment of more than one month's fixed rent or additional rent, unless such amendment or modification or prepayment shall have been expressly approved in writing by the Superior Lessor or the Superior Mortgagee through or by reason of which Successor Landlord shall have succeeded to the rights of Landlord under this lease;
(d)bound by any prepayment of more than one (1) month's fixed or additional rent;

(e)bound by any covenant to undertake or complete any construction of the Demised Premises or any portion thereof or pay for or reimburse Tenant for any costs incurred in connection with such construction;
(f)required to account for any security deposit other than any security deposit actually delivered to the successor landlord; or
(g)bound by any obligation to make any payment to Tenant or grant or be subject to any credits, except for services, repairs, maintenance and restoration provided for under this lease to be performed after the date of attornment, it being expressly understood, however, that the successor landlord shall not be bound by any obligation to make payment to Tenant with respect to construction performed by or on behalf of Tenant at the Demised Premises.
8.04 Non-Disturbance Agreements. Landlord agrees that it shall (a) at Landlord’s sole cost and expense, obtain and deliver to Tenant, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this lease by the parties, as to the existing Superior Mortgage covering the Real Property, and (b) at Landlord’s sole cost and expense, use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain and deliver to Tenant as to any future Superior Mortgage covering the Real Property, a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement in form and substance customarily adopted by the holder of said Superior Mortgage with reasonable modifications requested by Tenant and reasonably acceptable to the holder of the Superior Mortgage (an "SNDA"). The foregoing obligation of Landlord is subject to the condition that Tenant execute and deliver an SNDA to such Superior Mortgage holder. Provided Landlord exercises commercially reasonable efforts to obtain and deliver to Tenant an SNDA from a future Superior Mortgagee, the inability of Landlord to obtain said SNDA as to any future Superior Mortgage shall not be deemed a default on Landlord’s part of its obligations under this lease, or impose any claim in favor of Tenant against Landlord by reason thereof, or affect the validity of this lease provided, however, in the event that Landlord shall not obtain and deliver such SNDA as to any future Superior Mortgage, then this lease shall not be subordinate to such future Superior Mortgage unless the failure to obtain such SNDA is due to Tenant’s failure or delay in executing or delivering the same. Tenant agrees that the form of SNDA annexed hereto as Exhibit I is acceptable to Tenant.
ARTICLE 9 QUIET ENJOYMENT
9.01 Quiet Enjoyment. So long as Tenant is not in default of this lease
beyond the expiration of applicable notice and cure periods, Tenant shall peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy the Demised Premises subject, nevertheless, to the obligations of this lease and, as provided in Article 8, to Superior Leases and Superior Mortgages.

ARTICLE 10 ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
10.01 No Assignment or Subletting. Subject to the further provisions of this
Article 10, 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 sublet, nor suffer, nor permit the Demised Premises or any part thereof to be used or occupied by others, without the prior written consent of Landlord in each instance. If this lease is assigned, or if the Demised Premises or any part thereof are sublet or occupied by any person other than Tenant, Landlord may, after default by Tenant, collect rent from the assignee, undertenant or occupant, and apply the net amount collected to the rent herein reserved, but no assignment, subletting, occupancy or collection shall be deemed a waiver of the provisions hereof, the acceptance of the assignee, subtenant or occupant as tenant, or a release of Tenant from the further performance by Tenant of covenants on the part of Tenant herein contained. The consent by Landlord to an assignment, subletting, occupancy or use shall not be construed to relieve Tenant from obtaining the express consent in writing of Landlord to any further assignment or subletting, occupancy or use. In no event shall any permitted subtenant assign or encumber its sublease or further sublet all or any portion of its sublet space, or otherwise permit the sublet space or any part thereof to be used or occupied by others, without Landlord's prior written consent in each instance. The listing of any name other than that of Tenant, if agreed to by Landlord, whether on the doors of the Demised Premises or on any elevator or the Building directory, if any, or otherwise, shall not operate to vest any right or interest in this lease or in the Demised Premises, nor shall it be deemed to be the consent of Landlord to any assignment or transfer of this lease or to any sublease of the Demised Premises or to the use or occupancy thereof by others.
10.02 Tenant's Notice and Landlord’s Options.
If Tenant shall at any time or times during the Term desire to assign this lease or sublet all or part of the Demised Premises (a "Proposed Transfer"), Tenant shall give notice thereof to Landlord (“Tenant’s A/S Notice”), which notice shall be accompanied by (a) if the Proposed Transfer is an assignment, a duplicate original or photocopy of the executed assignment agreement or a letter of intent or term sheet (“Term Sheet”) setting forth all of the material terms of such proposed assignment (including, without limitation, the proposed effective date), (b) if the Proposed Transfer is a subletting, a duplicate original or photocopy of the executed sublease agreement or a Term Sheet setting forth the material business terms (including, without limitation, the proposed commencement date and expiration date) along with a description of the space to be sublet which, if less than the entire Demised Premises, must constitute a commercially viable and legally permissible separate rental unit from the remainder of the Demised Premises, (c) a statement setting forth in reasonable detail the identity of the proposed assignee or subtenant (in either event, the "Proposed Transferee"), the nature of its business and its proposed use of the Demised Premises, and (d) current financial information with respect to the Proposed Transferee, including its most recent financial report. In any event, the effective date of a proposed assignment or commencement date

of a proposed subletting (in either event, the "Effective Date") shall be not less than thirty
(30) days after the giving of such notice. Tenant shall send a fully executed sublease or assignment to Landlord, as the case may be, within two hundred seventy (270) days following Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s A/S Notice, provided, however, that, if Tenant does not so send such fully executed sublease or assignment to Landlord, as the case may be, within such aforementioned two hundred seventy (270) day period, then Landlord’s consent to such Proposed Transfer in connection therewith shall be deemed null and void and of no further force or effect. Such notice shall be deemed an offer from Tenant to Landlord whereby Landlord (or Landlord's designee) may, at its option, (i) terminate this lease if the proposed transaction is an assignment, (ii) terminate this lease if the proposed transaction is a sublease of all or substantially all of the Demised Premises and such sublease shall be for a term ending not earlier than one (1) year prior to the Expiration Date, or (iii) terminate this lease with respect to the proposed sublet space (the "Elimination Space") if the Proposed Transaction is a sublease of part of the Demised Premises for a term ending not earlier than one (1) year prior to the Expiration Date. Said options may be exercised by Landlord by notice to Tenant at any time within thirty (30) days after such notice has been given by Tenant to Landlord (the “Landlord Review Period”). If Tenant shall give any notice to Landlord of Tenant’s desire to assign this lease or sublet all or part of the Demised Premises, then Tenant shall reimburse Landlord either concurrent with the execution of any such consent or if consent is not given to them within thirty (30) days after written demand, for any reasonable out-of-pocket costs that may be incurred by Landlord in connection with said assignment or sublease, including the reasonable costs of making investigations as to the acceptability of the Proposed Transferee, and reasonable out-of-pocket legal costs incurred in connection with the granting of any requested consent, and such reimbursement shall be required whether or not (i) the Proposed Transfer is consummated, (ii) whether or not Landlord’s consent is required or granted, and (iii) whether or not Landlord shall exercise any option under this Section 10.02.
10.03 Full Termination. If Landlord terminates this lease with respect to a Proposed Transfer as provided in Section 10.02, then, this lease shall expire on the Effective Date of the Proposed Transfer, and the fixed rent and additional rent shall be paid and apportioned to such date.
10.04 Partial Termination. If Landlord exercises its option to terminate this lease with respect to a portion of the Demised Premises where Tenant desires to sublet part of the Demised Premises, then this lease shall expire with respect to the Elimination Space on the Effective Date of the proposed sublease and from and after such date (i) the fixed rent payable hereunder shall be reduced by an amount equal to the product of
(a) the square footage of the Elimination Space and (b) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the fixed rent payable hereunder immediately prior to such termination and the denominator of which shall be the square footage of the entire Demised Premises immediately prior to such termination, such square footages to be determined by Landlord in a consistent manner, (ii) Tenant's Proportionate Share shall be reduced to reflect the removal of the Elimination Space from the Demised Premises, and (iii) Tenant shall pay to Landlord, upon demand, the reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred

by Landlord in separating and demising the Elimination Space from the balance of the Demised

Premises and in complying with any Legal Requirements relating to such separating and demising, including, without limitation, construction of any common corridors and/or common rest rooms required as a result thereof.
10.05 Subletting to Landlord. If Landlord exercises its option to sublet the Elimination Space, such sublease to Landlord or its designee as subtenant (each, an “Elimination Sublease”) shall (a) be upon the same terms and conditions as set forth in the relevant request for Proposed Transfer and as otherwise contained in this lease, except such as are irrelevant or inapplicable and except as otherwise expressly set forth to the contrary in this Section; (b) give the subtenant the unqualified and unrestricted right, without Tenant’s permission, to assign such sublease and to further sublet the Elimination Space or any part thereof and to make any and all changes, alterations, and improvements in the Elimination Space; and (c) provide that (i) the parties to such Elimination Sublease expressly negate any intention that any estate created under such Elimination Sublease be merged with any other estate held by either of said parties, (ii) prior to the commencement of the term of the Elimination Sublease, the party responsible for the following as set forth in the request for Proposed Transfer or if no party is indicated as responsible for the following, Tenant, at its expense, shall make such alterations as may be required or reasonably deemed necessary by the subtenant to physically separate the Elimination Space from the balance of the Demised Premises and to provide appropriate means of ingress thereto and egress therefrom and to the public portions of the balance of the floor such as toilets, janitor’s closets, telephone and electrical closets, fire stairs, elevator lobbies, etc., and (iii) at the expiration of the term of such Elimination Sublease, Tenant will accept the Elimination Space in its then existing condition, broom clean.
10.06 Landlord’s Consent. (A) If Tenant shall have complied with Section 10.02 and Landlord does not exercise any of its options thereunder, and provided that Tenant is not in default of any of Tenant's obligations under this lease after notice and the expiration of any applicable grace period, Landlord's consent (which must be in writing and in form reasonably satisfactory to Landlord and executed by Landlord, Tenant and the proposed subtenant or assignee) to a proposed assignment or sublease of the entire Demised Premises shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, provided and upon condition that:

(d)The Proposed Transferee is not a Person with whom Landlord or any affiliate of Landlord is then negotiating (or has negotiated in the immediately preceding three (3) month period) to lease space at the Building unless Landlord shall have no other comparable space available for leasing or scheduled to become available for leasing in the immediately succeeding three (3) month period in the Building;
(e)The form of the proposed sublease or assignment and assumption agreement, as the case may be, shall be in form reasonably satisfactory to Landlord and shall comply with the applicable provisions of this Article and a fully executed counterpart or reproduced copy thereof shall have been delivered to Landlord;

(g)Tenant shall not have (a) advertised or publicized in any way the availability of the Demised Premises without prior notice to and approval by Landlord, nor shall any advertisement state the name (as distinguished from the address) of the Building or the proposed rental, or (b) listed the Demised Premises for subletting or assignment, with a broker, agent or representative, or otherwise at a rental rate less than the fixed rent and additional rent at which Landlord is then offering to lease other space in the Building other than on a preferred listing service such as Co-Star, through a licensed real estate broker but the foregoing restriction shall not prohibit Tenant from entering into a sublease at a lower rental value than what Tenant is paying under this lease;
(h)Tenant shall have reimbursed Landlord for the reasonable out- of-pocket costs specified in Section 10.02; and
(i)The proposed subtenant or assignee shall not be entitled, directly or indirectly, to diplomatic or sovereign immunity and shall be subject to the service of process in, and the jurisdiction of the courts of, New York State, or shall agree to consent thereto.

10.07 Sublease Terms and Provisions. Each subletting pursuant to this Article shall be subject to all of the covenants, agreements, terms and conditions contained in this lease, and all subleases shall be subject to Landlord's reasonable consent as to form and substance. Notwithstanding any such subletting and/or acceptance of rent or additional rent by Landlord from any subtenant, Tenant shall remain fully liable for the payment of the fixed rent and additional rent due and to become due hereunder and for the performance of all the covenants, agreements, terms and conditions contained in this lease on the part of Tenant to be performed and all acts and omissions of any licensee or subtenant or anyone claiming under or through any subtenant which shall be in violation of any of the obligations of this lease, and any such violation shall be deemed to be a violation by Tenant. Tenant agrees that notwithstanding any such subletting, no further subletting of all or any part of the Demised Premises by Tenant or any Person claiming through or under Tenant shall be made except upon compliance with and subject to the provisions of this Article, it being expressly agreed that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no subtenant shall be entitled to further sublet all or any part of its sublet premises without Landlord's consent, which may be granted or withheld by Landlord in its sole discretion.

All other provisions of this Article shall apply with respect to the transactions referred to in clauses (a), (b), and (c) of this Section.

10.10 Assignments. Any assignment or deemed assignment, by operation of law or otherwise, and whether or not requiring Landlord's consent, shall be made only if, and shall not be effective until, the assignee shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord an agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Landlord whereby the assignee shall assume the obligations of this lease on the part of Tenant to be performed or observed and whereby the assignee shall agree that the provisions in Section 10.01 shall, notwithstanding such assignment, continue to be binding upon it in respect of all future assignments and transfers.

Landlord of any notice Tenant receives of the violation of any Legal Requirements (as defined in Subsection 38.01(D)), and at its own expense comply with all Legal Requirements which shall, with respect to the Demised Premises or the Building or the use and occupation thereof, or the abatement of any nuisance, impose any violation, order or duty on Landlord or Tenant, arising from (i) Tenant's use of the Demised Premises, (ii) the manner of conduct of Tenant's business or operation of its installations, equipment or other property therein, (iii) any cause or condition created by or at the instance of Tenant, or (iv) breach of any of Tenant's obligations hereunder. However, Tenant shall not be so required to make any structural change in the Demised Premises unless the requirement arises from a cause or condition referred to in clauses (ii), (iii) or
(iv)of this Section.

Tenant’s Local Law 97 Costs shall be calculated based on (i) Tenant’s direct metered or sub-metered consumption of utilities serving the Demised Premises (e.g., electricity), (ii) a survey or other equitable method of evaluation of any other activity, system or service that may contribute to Local Law 97 Costs, and (iii) Tenant’s equitable

share of the entire Building’s carbon emissions or other costs that are the subject of any Local Law 97 Costs. Upon Tenant’s request, Landlord shall offer Tenant the right to participate at Tenant’s sole cost and expense in any measure which Landlord pursues to mitigate Local Law 97 Costs incurred by Landlord, but Tenant shall not be entitled to the benefit of any such mitigation, except to the extent actually obtained by Landlord and only to the extent of Tenant’s participation therein. Tenant’s Local Law 97 Costs shall be payable by Tenant to Landlord as additional rent within thirty (30) days following demand therefor, together with reasonable supporting documentation therefor.

Tenant shall have the right to insure and maintain the insurance required to be maintained hereunder under blanket insurance policies covering other premises occupied by Tenant so long as such blanket policies comply as to terms and amounts with the insurance provisions set forth in this lease and provided Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a certificate of Tenant's insurer evidencing the portion of such blanket insurance allocated to the Demised Premises.
(B)All such insurance shall be written in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord by an insurance company in a financial size category of not less than VIII and with general policy holders' rating of not less than “A-“, as rated in the most current available "Best's Insurance Reports”, or the then equivalent thereof by other comparable rating agencies, and licensed to do business in New York State and authorized to issue such policies.

The minimum amounts of insurance required under this Article 12 shall not be construed to limit the extent of Tenant's liability under this lease.
(E)The insurance required to be maintained by Tenant (and any contractor or Operator) under this lease shall be primary insurance and shall not be considered contributory insurance with any insurance policies of Landlord (or another indemnified party) and the insurance coverages contained therein (primary and excess) will apply as if the other insurance available to Tenant or to the indemnified parties that covers such indemnified parties as a “named insured” does not exist. The parties agree that the priority principal of “vertical exhaustion” of liability insurance, whereby Tenant’s primary and excess liability policies shall apply prior to policies of any indemnified parties, shall apply to Tenant’s (and any contractor’s or Operator’s) liability insurance coverages hereunder and Landlord reserves the right to review Tenant’s (and any contractor’s or Operator’s) liability policy language and require endorsements to such policies to clarify the hierarchy of such policies in the event of a claim.

If Tenant shall fail to maintain insurance in effect as required in this lease, the release by Tenant set forth in Subsection 12.05(B) shall be in full force and effect to the same extent as if such required insurance (containing a waiver of subrogation) were in effect.
12.06 Tenant's Conduct. No Tenant Party shall do or permit anything to be done or keep or permit anything to be kept in or about the Demised Premises or the Building which would: (a) subject Landlord to any liability for injury to any Person or property, (b) to the extent arising from Tenant’s particular manner of use of the Demised Premises (as distinguished from mere general and executive office use thereof) cause any increase in the insurance rates applicable to any policies of insurance carried by Landlord covering the Real Property, the Taxable Property the Building or the rental income to be derived therefrom or the Building equipment or other property of Landlord, or cause insurance companies of good standing to refuse to insure the aforesaid interests of Landlord in amounts reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, (c) 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 Landlord, (d) violate any insurance requirement or violate any policies of fire, boiler, sprinkler, water damage or other insurance covering the Building and/or the fixtures, equipment or property then carried by Landlord, or (e) constitute an extra-hazardous condition, so as to increase the risks normally attendant upon the operations of Tenant at the Real Property.

A schedule or rule book issued by the Insurance Services Office or any other insurance rating organization having jurisdiction, or the rating procedures or rules of Landlord's insurance companies shall be conclusive evidence of the several items and charges which make up the insurance rates

and premiums on the Demised Premises and the Building and the rental income to be derived therefrom.

ARTICLE 13
RULES AND REGULATIONS
13.01 Compliance. Tenant agrees that all Tenant Parties shall faithfully observe and comply with the Rules and Regulations annexed as Exhibit C, and such changes thereto (whether by modification, elimination or addition) as Landlord at any time or times hereafter may make and communicate in writing to Tenant, provided such changes are non-arbitrary and uniformly enforced and do not unreasonably affect the conduct of Tenant's business in the Demised Premises except as required by any governmental law, rule, regulation, ordinance or similar decree. The right to dispute the reasonableness of any additional Rules or Regulations upon Tenant's part shall be deemed waived unless the same shall be asserted by service of a notice, in writing, upon Landlord, within fifteen
(15) days after the giving of notice thereof. Landlord reserves the right to rescind, alter or waive any rule or regulation at any time prescribed for the Building when, in its reasonable judgment, it deems it necessary, desirable or proper for its best interest or for the best interests of the tenants, or for the reputation, safety, care of appearance of the Building, or the preservation of good order therein, or the operation or maintenance of the Building or the equipment thereof. In case of any conflict or inconsistency between the provisions of this lease and any of the Rules and Regulations as originally promulgated or as changed, the provisions of this lease shall control.

13.02 Enforcement. Nothing in this lease contained shall be construed to impose upon Landlord any duty or obligation to Tenant to enforce the Rules and Regulations or the terms, covenants or conditions in any other lease as against any other tenant, and Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for violation of the same by any other tenant or its employees, agents or visitors; provided, however, that Landlord shall not enforce any of the Rules and Regulations in such manner as to discriminate against Tenant or anyone claiming under or through Tenant. No rescission, alteration or waiver of any rule or regulation in favor of one tenant shall operate as a rescission, alteration or waiver in favor of any other tenant. Landlord shall not be responsible to any tenant for the non- observance or violation by any other tenant of any of the Rules and Regulations at any time prescribed for the Building.
ARTICLE 14 TENANT'S CHANGES
14.01 Tenant' s Changes. (A) Tenant shall not make any alterations,
additions, installations, substitutions, improvements and decorations (collectively, "Changes" and, as applied to Changes made by or on behalf of Tenant, "Tenant's Changes") in and to the Demised Premises or the Building without Landlord's prior written consent, other than Decorative Changes (hereinafter defined), which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned with respect to Tenant's Changes to be performed wholly within the Demised Premises, on the following conditions (the “TC Conditions”):
(a)the outside appearance or the strength of the Building or of any of its structural parts shall not be affected;
(b)no part of the Building outside of the Demised Premises shall be physically affected;
(c)the proper functioning of any of the mechanical, electrical, sanitary and other service systems of the Building shall not be adversely affected, the capacity of such systems to the Demised Premises shall not be exceeded and the usage of such systems by Tenant shall not be increased; and
(d)in performing the work involved in making such Changes, Tenant shall be bound by and observe all of the conditions and covenants contained in this Article.
(B) Before proceeding with any Tenant's Changes, other than Decorative Changes, Tenant shall submit to Landlord four (4) prints of complete and coordinated final drawings, plans and specifications (along with an electronic version in “CAD” format) and all other information reasonably requested by Landlord to make a decision regarding its approval. Such plans shall show complete dimensions, shall not conflict with the basic plans for the Building and shall comply with all Legal Requirements.

If such Tenant’s Changes require a filing with or the consent of a governmental authority, such plans shall be prepared or certified by a registered architect or licensed engineer. In the case of Decorative Changes, Tenant shall nevertheless submit to Landlord a schematic design, if applicable, and a written description of the Decorative Changes prior to commencement thereof. Tenant shall, upon demand of Landlord, pay to Landlord the reasonable costs incurred by Landlord for the review of such plans and specifications and all changes and revisions thereto by its architect, engineer and other consultants. Following completion of the Initial Work, but only if Tenant’s then tangible net worth is less than it is on the date this lease is fully executed and delivered by the parties, Landlord may as a condition of its approval require Tenant to make revisions in and to the plans and specifications and to post a bond or other security reasonably satisfactory to Landlord to insure the completion of any Tenant’s Changes. Landlord's approval of any plans or specifications shall not relieve Tenant from the responsibility for the legal sufficiency and technical competence thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this lease, in any instance where Tenant is required or permitted to make any Changes which are structural, or to the exterior of the Building or any part of the Building outside of the Demised Premises, or are to any of the Building systems, then, at the option of Landlord, Tenant shall not perform such Changes but rather Landlord shall cause the same to be performed for and on behalf of Tenant in which event Tenant, at Landlord’s option, shall pay to Landlord in advance, or reimburse Landlord, in either event on demand of Landlord, for the costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection therewith. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord’s approval shall not be required for minor interior decorative Tenant’s Changes, such as carpeting, wall covering, installation of shelving and furniture and painting, which conform to the TC Conditions, do not require any governmental permit or authorization and do not cost, in the aggregate over any twelve
(12) month period, more than $768,300.00 ("Decorative Changes"), provided Landlord is notified in advance and such Tenant's Changes otherwise comply with this lease.
14.02 Procedure.
(A)Tenant shall obtain and deliver to Landlord all necessary permits, approvals and certificates from all relevant governmental authorities and quasi- governmental authorities for the commencement and prosecution of Tenant's Changes and for certificates of final approval therefor and all sign-offs therefrom upon completion, and Tenant shall use an individual or entity designated by Landlord for such purpose. Tenant shall furnish copies of the foregoing to Landlord, and cause Tenant's Changes to be performed diligently and in compliance therewith and with all Legal Requirements and Landlord's Rules and Regulations for Tenant's Changes annexed hereto as Exhibit D and made a part hereof as same may be modified by Landlord from time to time, and under the supervision of a licensed architect and in good and workmanlike manner, using new materials and equipment at least equal in quality and class to the original installations in the Building. Tenant’s Changes shall be performed solely by contractors and subcontractors on the Approved Contractor List annexed hereto as Exhibit G and made a part hereof. Tenant's Changes shall be performed in such manner as not to unreasonably interfere with or delay or impose any additional expense upon, Landlord in the construction, maintenance or operation of the Building or any portion thereof and so as not to interfere with the use and occupancy of other tenants of the Building or adjacent

buildings. Throughout the performance of Tenant's Changes, Tenant, at its expense, shall carry, and cause to be carried by all contractors and subcontractors, the additional insurance required with respect thereto pursuant to Article 12. Tenant shall furnish Landlord with satisfactory evidence that such insurance is in effect prior to the commencement of Tenant's Changes and, on request, at reasonable intervals thereafter. Upon completion of Tenant's Changes, Tenant shall furnish to Landlord diligently, but no later than thirty (30) days following completion of Tenant’s Changes, (i) a complete set of "as built" plans and specifications in electronic “CAD” format, and (ii) final lien waivers from all contractors, subcontractors, service providers and vendors and materialmen involved therein and (iii) proof of issuance of any required approvals, permits and sign- offs for the Tenant’s Changes by all governmental authorities having jurisdiction thereafter.
(B)Landlord agrees to respond to any written request for approval of a complete set of the final plans and specifications for Tenant’s Changes (including, without limitation, the Initial Work) within fifteen (15) business days after receipt thereof by Landlord (and any re-submission of any such plans after Landlord has disapproved the initial set of final plans (stating in reasonable detail the reasons for such disapproval, to the extent Landlord is required to not unreasonably withhold consent thereto), within ten
(10) business days after receipt thereof by Landlord). If Landlord fails to either approve or disapprove (stating in reasonable detail the reasons for such disapproval, to the extent Landlord is required to not unreasonably withhold consent thereto) the final plans for Tenant’s Changes within said fifteen (15) business day period or ten (10) business day period, as the case may be, Tenant shall have the right to provide Landlord with a second written request for approval (a “Second Request”) within seven (7) business days thereafter to Landlord, which shall specifically identify Tenant’s Changes to which such request relates, and set forth in bold capital letters the following statement: “IF LANDLORD FAILS TO APPROVE OR DISAPPROVE (STATING IN REASONABLE DETAIL THE REASONS FOR SUCH DISAPPROVAL, TO THE EXTENT LANDLORD IS REQUIRED TO NOT UNREASONABLY WITHHOLD CONSENT THERETO) WITHIN SEVEN (7) BUSINESS DAYS AFTER RECEIPT OF THIS NOTICE, THEN THE PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS AS TO WHICH THIS SECOND REQUEST APPLIES SHALL BE DEEMED APPROVED.” In the event that Landlord fails to approve or disapprove (stating in reasonable detail the reasons for such disapproval, to the extent Landlord is required to not unreasonably withhold consent thereto) within seven (7) business days after receipt thereof by Landlord, the plans and specifications as to which such Second Request applies shall be deemed approved.
14.03 Liens and Violations. Tenant shall diligently procure the cancellation or discharge of all notices of violation arising from or otherwise connected with Tenant's Changes which shall be issued by the Department of Buildings or any other public or quasi-public authority having or asserting jurisdiction. Tenant shall defend, indemnify and save harmless Landlord against any and all mechanic's and other liens filed in connection with Tenant's Changes, including the liens of any security interest in, conditional sales of, or chattel mortgages upon, any materials, fixtures or articles so installed in and constituting part of the Demised Premises and against all costs, expense and liabilities incurred in connection with any such lien, security interest, conditional sale or chattel

mortgage or any action or proceeding brought thereon. Tenant, at its expense, shall procure the satisfaction or discharge of all such liens by bond or otherwise promptly upon learning of the same (from any source), and in all events within thirty (30) days after Tenant has received written notice (from any source that the same was filed).

Notwithstanding anything in this lease to the contrary, no contractor, subcontractor, vendor, service provider, materialman or other person or party shall in any event cause or create any work stoppage, picketing, labor disruption or dispute or violate Landlord's union contracts affecting the Building or the Real Property or not be compatible or harmonious with labor employed by Landlord at the Building or interfere with the business of Landlord or any Tenant or occupant of the Building. If any condition described above shall arise from the exercise by Tenant of its rights pursuant to the provisions of this Article or any other provision of this lease, Tenant shall, immediately upon notice from Landlord, cease the manner of exercise of such right giving rise to such condition. If Tenant fails to cease such manner of exercise of its rights as aforesaid, Landlord, in addition to any rights available to it under this lease and pursuant to law, shall have the right to injunction without notice and any such violation of the provisions of this Section shall be deemed a default under this lease for which the cure period set forth in Section 26.01(d) shall be reduced to one (1) business day. With respect to Tenant's Changes, Tenant shall make all arrangements for, and pay all Landlord's established charges incurred in connection therewith, such as electricity, air conditioning, standby and cooperating labor, physical protection measures, increased insurance, fire protection, security, carting and non-exclusive use of the freight elevators servicing the Demised Premises.

ARTICLE 16 REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE
16.01 Tenant's Obligations. Tenant shall take good care of the Demised

Elevator lobbies on each floor shall be kept free of obstructions by Tenant and shall not be used for storage purposes. With respect to any floor on which Tenant may be a full floor tenant, Tenant agrees that the elevator lobby, public hallways and core lavatories shall, be maintained and repaired by Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, subject to Section 19.02 hereof. Tenant shall perform any such maintenance and repairs using only contractors and subcontractors designated by Landlord. In the event that Tenant shall be required hereunder to perform any repairs to any Building system, structural portions of the Building or any area outside of the Demised Premises, at Landlord’s election, such repairs shall be performed by Landlord and Tenant shall be responsible for the reasonable costs and expense of such repairs.
16.02 Landlord's Obligations. Landlord shall maintain the common and public portions of the Building and its fixtures, appurtenances, systems and facilities serving the Demised Premises to the extent such fixtures, appurtenances, systems and facilities do not exclusively serve the Demised Premises or other tenant premises, in good working order, condition and repair and shall make all repairs thereto, structural and otherwise, interior and exterior, as and when needed, except for those repairs for which Tenant is responsible pursuant to any other provisions of this lease.
16.03 No Liability of Landlord. Except as expressly otherwise provided in this lease, Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant and there shall be no diminution of rental value by reason of any inconvenience, annoyance, interruption or injury to business arising from Landlord's making any repairs or Changes which Landlord is required or permitted by this lease, or required by law, to make in or to any portion of the Building or the Demised Premises, or in or to the fixtures, equipment or appurtenances of the Building or the Demised Premises. However, Landlord shall use due diligence with respect thereto and shall perform such work, except in case of emergency, at times reasonably convenient to Tenant and otherwise in such manner as will not materially interfere with Tenant's use of the Demised Premises; provided, however, that the preceding shall not require Landlord to perform same after Tenant's business hours. It is specifically agreed except as otherwise set forth in Section 16.04 below that Tenant shall not be entitled to any setoff or reduction of rent by reason of any failure of Landlord to comply with the covenants of this or any other article of this lease. Tenant agrees that Tenant’s sole remedy at law in such instance will be by way of an action for damages for breach of contract.
16.04 Interruption of Essential Services. If (i) there shall be, for at least five (5) consecutive business days (after written notice from Tenant to Landlord specifying the failure of services set forth herein) during business hours, with respect to all or

substantially all of the Demised Premises, a substantial disruption of any of the following services furnished to the Demised Premises: (a) heat or condenser water, as the case may be (for any period during which Landlord would have been obligated to furnish heat or condenser water, as the case may be pursuant to the terms of this lease), (b) electric service, (c) Building elevator service to the Demised Premises provided there are no working elevator cabs (i.e., if there is one (1) working elevator cab, then this subsection
(d) shall not apply); or (e) there is no reasonable access to any core restroom in the Demised Premises, (each such service being hereinafter called an "Essential Service"); said interrupted Essential Service prevents Tenant from conducting its business in the ordinary course in all or at least 10,000 rentable square feet of the Demised Premises for a period in excess of five (5) consecutive business days, (iii) Tenant has been compelled to (and actually has) as a result of said interrupted Essential Service, discontinued doing business in the Demised Premises (or in such portion thereof affected), (iv) said interrupted Essential Service, is not attributable to the acts or omissions of the public utility furnishing such service or any other reason beyond Landlord's reasonable control, and (v) Landlord is unable to provide any reasonable alternative in lieu thereof, then Tenant, as its sole remedy, shall be entitled to an abatement of rent for the portion of the Demised Premises which Tenant is prevented from using and has discontinued doing business therein commencing on the sixth (6th) business day after Tenant gave Landlord notice of failure of Essential Service until such time as such Essential Service shall in fact have been restored. If Landlord disputes such rent abatement then either Landlord or Tenant shall have the right to submit such dispute to be resolved by Expedited Arbitration and Tenant shall not receive any such abatement until the dispute is resolved. In no event shall Landlord be liable to Tenant for any consequential damages arising from such interruption of Essential Services. Notwithstanding the giving of such notice by Tenant and pending the resolution of any such dispute by Landlord, Tenant shall pay to Landlord when due the fixed rent and additional rent as provided in this lease, but such payment shall be without prejudice to Tenant's rights hereunder, and upon final resolution of any such dispute, Landlord shall retroactively adjust the rent accordingly, if necessary. For purposes hereof, "Expedited Arbitration" shall mean arbitration in the City of New York under the Expedited Procedures provisions of the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) (presently Rules E 1 through E 10 and, to the extent applicable, Section R 19); provided, however, that with respect to any such arbitration, (i) the list of arbitrators referred to in Rule E 4 shall be returned within five (5) days from the date of mailing; (ii) the parties shall notify the AAA by telephone, within four
(4) days of any objections to the arbitrator appointed and will have no right to object if the arbitrator so appointed was on the list submitted by the AAA and was not objected to in accordance with the second paragraph of Rule E 4; (iii) the Notice of Hearing referred to in Rule E 7 shall be four (4) days in advance of the hearing; (iv) the hearing shall be held within seven (7) days after the appointment of the arbitrator; (v) the arbitrator shall have no right to award damages other than as expressly provided in this Section 16.04; (vi) the decision and award of the arbitrator shall be final and conclusive on the parties and each of the parties hereby consents to judgment thereon by any court having jurisdiction; and
(vii) AAA’s charges for the arbitration shall be paid by the losing party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, during the period that Tenant is performing the Initial Work, the only Essential Service for which Tenant may be eligible for a rent

abatement pursuant to the terms of this Section 16.04 shall be Subsections (b) and (c) above (i.e. electric and elevator service).
ARTICLE 17 ELECTRICITY
17.01 Definitions. For purposes of this Article:
(A)"Electricity Cost" shall mean the cost (or, at Landlord's option, the average cost) per kilowatt hour and the cost (or, at Landlord's option, the average cost) per kilowatt demand, by time of day, if applicable, to Landlord of purchasing electricity for the Demised Premises, including fuel adjustment charges (as determined for each month of the relevant period and not averaged), rate adjustment charges, sales tax, and/or any other factors or charges, used by the Utility (as defined in Subsection 17.01(C)) in computing the charges to Landlord for electric usage and further including transmission and transformer of losses (to be determined by Landlord if such losses are not measured by the Submeter, hereinafter defined);
(B)"Electricity Cost Statement" shall mean an instrument containing an estimate or computation of Electricity Cost, or any other computation to be made by Landlord pursuant to the provisions of this Article; and
(C)"Utility" shall mean the Consolidated Edison Company of New York, Inc. or its successor (or such other service provider selected by Landlord) authorized to provide electric service in the locality where the Building is located.
17.02 Method of Furnishing Electric Current. (A) Subject to the provisions of Subsection 17.03(D), Tenant agrees that electricity shall be furnished to Tenant on a "submetering" basis, by Landlord. On the Commencement Date, electricity will be furnished on a submetering basis. If the Demised Premises are not already separately submetered as hereinafter provided, Landlord shall, at Landlord's sole cost and expense, install a meter or meters (collectively, the "Submeter"), at a location designated by Landlord, and all other work necessary for the installation of the Submeter. If and so long as electric current is supplied by submetering pursuant to this Section, Tenant will pay Landlord or Landlord's designated agent, as additional rent for such service, the amounts, as determined by the Submeter, for the purpose of measuring Tenant's consumption and demand. The additional rent payable by Tenant pursuant to this Section (the "Electricity Additional Rent") shall be computed in the same manner as Electricity Cost, as applied to the Demised Premises, and shall also include a fee equal to six (6%) percent of such charge in consideration of Landlord’s administrative and overhead costs. The Electricity Additional Rent shall be binding and conclusive on Tenant. If the Submeter should fail to properly register or operate at any time for any reason whatsoever, Landlord may estimate the Electricity Additional Rent, and when the Submeter is again properly operative, an appropriate reconciliation shall be made, by Tenant paying any deficiency to Landlord within ten (10) days after demand, or by Landlord crediting Tenant with the amount of any overpayment, as the case may be.

Landlord, at its option, may from time to time increase the Electricity Additional Rent based upon any increase in Electricity Cost. The periods to be used for such computation shall be as Landlord, in its sole discretion, may from time to time elect. Where more than one meter measures the electric service to Tenant, the electric service rendered through each meter may be computed and billed at Landlord's option, either separately or cumulatively. Bills for the Electricity Additional Rent shall be rendered to Tenant at such time as Landlord may elect.
(B) Landlord and Tenant agree that the Submeter might be installed subsequent to the date (the "Initial Occupancy Date") that Tenant, or anyone (including any contractors or other workmen) claiming under or through Tenant first enters the Demised Premises. In such event, the Electricity Additional Rent payable by Tenant for the period commencing on the Initial Occupancy Date and ending on the date immediately prior to the period for which the first reading of the installed Submeter applies, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, the sum of $0.085 x 51,220 per month (prorated for any partial months). Tenant shall additionally pay the Electricity Additional Rent on the basis of such initial Submeter reading within ten (10) days after rendition of statement detailing the same. In the event that the Submeter has not been installed or is not operative during the period following the date that Tenant first occupies the Demised Premises for the conduct of its business, then the terms of Section 17.02(A) shall apply to the calculation of Electricity Additional Rent for such period. Tenant acknowledges that in connection with the installation or retrofit of the meter(s), the electricity being supplied to serve the Demised Premises may be temporarily interrupted.
17.03 General Conditions. (A) Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any loss or damage or expense which Tenant may sustain or incur if either the quantity or character of electric service is changed or is no longer available or suitable for Tenant's requirements. The Building will be equipped with and Landlord shall maintain risers, feeders, distribution panels and wiring so as to furnish electric service (demand load) to the Demised Premises of up to six (6) watts per useable square foot for lighting and power, exclusive of electricity for the Base Building AC Units but inclusive of electricity for any supplemental air conditioning units (the “Electric Capacity”) throughout the Term.
(B)Tenant covenants and agrees that at all times its use of electric current shall never exceed the capacity of existing feeders serving the Demised Premises or the capacity of the risers or wiring installation in the Building. Tenant shall not connect any additional electrical equipment to the Building electric distribution system, other than lamps, typewriters, personal computers and other small office machines which consume comparable amounts of electricity, without Landlord's prior written consent. Upon written request of Tenant and subject, in each instance, to the prior written approval of Landlord in its sole discretion, any riser(s) and all other equipment to supply Tenant's electrical requirements will be installed by Landlord, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, if the same are necessary and will not cause permanent damage to the Building or Demised Premises or cause or create a hazardous condition, entail excessive or unreasonable alterations, repairs or expense, interfere with or disturb other tenants or occupants or interfere with the needs of current

tenants or the anticipated needs of future tenants. If Tenant’s use of electricity shall exceed the capacity permitted hereunder, then in addition

to all other rights and remedies of Landlord on account thereof, Tenant shall pay Landlord for such excess use, on demand as additional rent, at rates set from time to time by Landlord for such purpose.
(C)The parties acknowledge that electric rates, charges, etc. may be changed by virtue of time of day rates or other methods of billing, and that the references in the foregoing subdivisions to changes in methods of or rules on billing are intended to include any such changes.
(D)If at any time Landlord shall elect to terminate furnishing electricity to a majority of the office tenants above the ground floor in the Building then receiving electricity from Landlord, Landlord, without liability to Tenant therefor, shall have the right to terminate the furnishing of electricity to the Demised Premises, upon thirty (30) days' written notice to the Tenant. In such event, Tenant shall make application directly to the Utility for Tenant's entire separate supply of electric current to the Demised Premises and Landlord shall permit its wires and conduits, to the extent available and safely capable in Landlord's sole judgment, to be used for such purpose. Any meters, risers or other equipment or connections necessary to enable Tenant to obtain electric current directly from the Utility shall be installed at Tenant's sole cost and expense, subject to the provisions of this lease. Landlord, upon the expiration of said thirty (30) days, may discontinue furnishing electric current to Tenant but this lease shall otherwise remain in full force and effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord will permit Tenant to continue to receive electricity from Landlord on a redistribution basis for such period of time as is reasonably required by Tenant to arrange to obtain electricity service directly from the Utility.
(E)If pursuant to any of the provisions of this Article, any determinations, statements or estimates are made by or on behalf of Landlord (whether such determinations, statements or estimates are subject to dispute or not pursuant to the provisions of this Article), Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount(s) set forth on such determinations, statements or estimates, as the case may be, until subsequent determinations, statements or estimates are rendered, at which time, the parties shall make adjustment for any deficiency owed by Tenant, or any overage paid by Tenant.
(F)Notwithstanding any provisions of this Article and regardless of the manner of service of electric current to the Demised Premises, in no event shall the cost to Tenant for electric energy to the Demised Premises be less than one hundred six (106%) percent of the actual cost incurred by Landlord to obtain such electrical energy whether or not service is obtained from the service provider.
(G)In addition to all other sums payable by Tenant for electricity pursuant to this Article, Tenant acknowledges and agrees that the electric current furnished to the Building fan room(s) and/or other Heating and ventilation equipment servicing the Demised Premises will be measured, at Landlord's option, by either (i) a survey to be performed by an electrical consultant selected by Landlord or (ii) a meter to be installed by Landlord and the amount determined by such consultant or meter shall be billed and payable by Tenant as additional rent hereunder, from time to time, within ten

(10) days after rendition of a Landlord's Statement therefor, which amount shall be equitably pro-rated in the event that such fan room(s) and/or other Heating and ventilation equipment services portions of the Building other than the Demised Premises.
(H)If any tax is imposed upon Landlord's receipts from the sale or resale of electric current to Tenant by any Federal, state or municipal authority, Tenant agrees that, unless prohibited by law, a portion of such taxes (based on the amount of the Electricity Additional Rent as applied to the appropriate tax rate) shall be billed to Tenant and paid by Tenant to Landlord as additional rent.
ARTICLE 18
HEAT, VENTILATION AND AIR-CONDITIONING
18.01 Building Services. Landlord, at its expense, shall furnish heat to the Demised Premises required by law ("Heating"), through the Building systems, in accordance with the design specifications of the Building systems, from 8:00 A.M. to 6:00
P.M. ("business hours") on business days (as hereinafter defined). The term "business days", as used in this lease, shall mean all days except Saturdays, Sundays and the days observed by the Federal or the New York State or City governments as legal holidays and such other days as are designated as holidays by the applicable operating engineers union contract or Building service employees union contract. Landlord shall operate the Heating equipment in accordance with its design criteria; provided, however, that Landlord may reduce such level of operation in accordance with a recognized energy or water conservation program, guidelines, regulations or recommendations promulgated by any Federal, State, City or other governmental or quasi-governmental bureau, board, department, agency, office, commission or other subdivision thereof or the American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers, Inc. or any successor thereto or other organization serving a similar function.
18.02 After Hours Services. If Tenant shall require heating at any time ("after hours") other than during the times specifically set forth herein for the provision of such services, Tenant shall provide at least twenty-four (24) hours prior notice to Landlord, which notice must be received by Landlord during business hours on a business day. In such event, provided Tenant is not in default under this lease, Landlord shall furnish the same in accordance with Landlord’s then current regulations pertaining thereto, which may include a minimum number of hours for such service and Tenant shall pay Landlord's then established rates for supplying such after hours service as additional rent within five
(5) business days after demand. Landlord’s current Building standard rate for after-hours heating is $895.00 per hour, subject to Landlord’s actual increases in costs from time to time with a minimum of four (4) hours on weekends and holidays.
18.03 Excessive Use. Use of all or any part of the Demised Premises in a manner exceeding the design conditions thereof (including occupancy and connected electrical load) by heating service in the Demised Premises, or rearrangement of

partitioning which interferes with normal heating service in the Demised Premises, or the use of computer or data processing machines, may require changes in the systems

servicing the Demised Premises. Any such changes shall be made by Landlord, at Tenant's expense. Tenant shall cooperate fully with Landlord at all times and abide by all regulations and requirements which Landlord may reasonably prescribe for the proper functioning and protection of the Heating system. Tenant agrees to lower and keep closed the venetian blinds or other window coverings in the Demised Premises whenever required for the proper operation of the air conditioning service. No supplemental heating, ventilating or air conditioning equipment shall be installed or utilized by Tenant in the Demised Premises without Landlord's prior consent. Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant, nor shall any diminution or abatement of rent or additional rent or other compensation or claim of constructive eviction be claimed by Tenant, by reason of any interruption, curtailment or suspension of any air conditioning system for the Building.
18.04 Air Conditioning. (A) Tenant acknowledges that Landlord shall install the Base Building AC Units (as defined in Section 4.02) as part of the Post-Possession Base Building Work. Upon completion of the installation of the Base Building AC Units, Landlord shall have no further obligations with respect to such air-conditioning units. Tenant covenants and agrees to maintain the Base Building AC Units in good working order at all times during the Term of this lease, to perform all repairs thereto and services, at Tenant's sole cost and expense and to make replacement of parts, at Tenant's expense, as they become necessary. Tenant shall maintain throughout the Term of this lease a contract with a vendor and under a form approved in advance by Landlord for the service, maintenance, repair and/or replacement of such air conditioning equipment. Tenant shall be required to pay in accordance with Article 17 of this lease, for all electric energy used in connection with any air conditioning equipment servicing the Demised Premises. The Base Building AC Units shall at all times be the sole property of Landlord and shall be surrendered to Landlord with the Demised Premises upon the expiration or sooner termination of this lease. Landlord shall supply to Tenant at the Demised Premises the appropriate amount of condenser water capacity for the Base Building AC Units through the Building’s condenser water system (the "Condenser System") during the hours of 8:00 am through 6:00 pm on business days. If Tenant shall require condenser water for the Base Building AC Units during times other than those provided in the immediately preceding sentence, provided Tenant is not in default under this lease, beyond the expiration of applicable notice and cure periods, then, Landlord shall furnish the same upon advance notice from Tenant, given prior to 12:00 P.M. on any business day on which Tenant requires such after-hours condenser water or if Tenant shall desire same on a day other than a business day, Landlord shall furnish the same upon advance notice from Tenant given prior to 12:00 P.M. on the last business day prior to such non business day, and Tenant shall pay Landlord's then established charges therefor as additional rent within twenty (20) days after demand. Landlord’s current Building standard rate for after-hours condenser water is $150.00 per hour per floor, subject to Landlord’s actual increases in costs from time to time with a minimum of four (4) hours on weekends and holidays. Notwithstanding what the then current Building standard rate for after-hours condenser water is, Tenant shall only be charged $92.00 per hour per floor, subject to Landlord’s actual increases from time to time for after-hours condenser water for the first three-hundred (300) hours Tenant uses per annum (which shall be prorated for partial years). The furnishing of condenser water to the Base four AC Units is subject to emergencies and Landlord’s scheduled routine shutdowns. Tenant acknowledges and

agrees that (i) condenser water for the Condenser System shall be supplied by several water towers, (ii) the water towers providing condenser water to Tenant may additionally be utilized for the cooling of the public portions of the Building and during the Building's cooling season the demand for condenser water in the Building may limit Landlord's ability to supply condenser water in the event of a failure of one (1) or more of the water towers, and (iii) Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any loss or damage or expense which Tenant may sustain or incur if either the quantity or character of the condenser water supplied to the Demised Premises shall no longer be available or suitable for Tenant's requirements or if a failure of one (1) or more of the water towers servicing the Demised Premises shall cause an interruption of its supply of condenser water.

Landlord’s current Building standard supplemental condenser water charge, subject to Landlord’s actual increases in costs from time to time, is $600.00 per ton of capacity per annum and shall be charged when Tenant connects its supplemental units to the condenser water system. Tenant covenants and agrees, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, to maintain all supplemental air conditioning units serving the Demised Premises, in good working order at all times during the Term of this lease, to perform all repairs and services thereto, and to make replacement of parts, as they become necessary. Tenant shall maintain throughout the Term of this lease a contract with a vendor and under a form approved in advance by Landlord for the service, maintenance, repair and/or replacement of such supplemental air conditioning units. Tenant shall reserve up to thirty (30) tons of condenser water for Tenant’s supplemental unit (the “Reserved Amount”) for up to one
(1)year after the Commencement Date (the “CW Outside Date”). If Tenant does not advise Landlord that it wishes to use the Reserved Amount, then Tenant shall no longer have the right to the Reserved Amount after the CW Outside Date.

ARTICLE 23 DESTRUCTION OR DAMAGE
23.01 Landlord's Obligation. If the Building or the Demised Premises shall be
partially or totally damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty, then, whether or not the damage or destruction shall have resulted from the fault or neglect of any Tenant Party

(and if this lease shall not have been terminated pursuant to this Article), then, to the extent of the proceeds of insurance actually received by Landlord for such purpose, Landlord shall repair the damage and restore and rebuild the Building and/or the Demised Premises, at its expense, with reasonable dispatch after notice to it of the damage or destruction; provided, however, that Landlord shall not be required to repair or replace any of Tenant's Property nor to restore any Tenant's Changes or any Changes to the Demised Premises performed for Tenant's occupancy thereof (whether by Tenant or by Landlord on behalf of Tenant), Landlord’s obligation to repair or restore pursuant to this Section being "Landlord’s Restoration". No damages, compensation or claim (or other expense, including replacement premises or services) shall be payable by Landlord for inconvenience, loss of business or annoyance arising from any repair or restoration of any portion of the Demised Premises or of the Building pursuant to this Article. Landlord shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect Landlord’s Restoration promptly and in such manner as to not unreasonably interfere with Tenant's use and occupancy; provided the foregoing shall not require Landlord to incur additional expense for labor at overtime or premium rates.
23.02 Abatement. If the Demised Premises shall be partially damaged or partially destroyed by fire or other casualty requiring Landlord’s Restoration, the rents payable hereunder shall be abated to the extent that the Demised Premises shall have been rendered Untenantable (hereinafter defined) as a result of such damage or destruction to the Demised Premises and for the period from the date of such damage or destruction to the date that Landlord's Restoration to the Demised Premises shall be substantially completed. If the Demised Premises or a major part thereof shall be totally (which shall be deemed to include substantially totally) damaged or destroyed and rendered completely (which shall be deemed to include substantially completely) Untenantable on account of fire or other casualty requiring Landlord’s Restoration, the rents shall abate as of the date of the damage or destruction and until Landlord's Restoration to the Demised Premises shall be substantially completed; provided, however, that should Tenant reoccupy a portion of the Demised Premises during the period that Landlord's Restoration is taking place and prior to the date that the same are made completely tenantable, rents allocable to such portion shall be payable by Tenant from the date of such occupancy. "Untenantable" as used in this Article shall mean that Tenant is unable to use the Demised Premises or the portion thereof to which reference is made, for the conduct of its business in the normal course. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if Landlord or any Superior Lessor or Superior Mortgagee shall be unable to collect all of the insurance proceeds (including rent insurance proceeds) applicable to damage or destruction of the Demised Premises or the Building by fire or other casualty, by reason of some action or inaction on the part of any Tenant Party, then, without prejudice to any other remedies which may be available against Tenant, there shall be no abatement of Tenant's rents, but the total amount of such rents not abated (which would otherwise have been abated) shall not exceed the amount of the uncollected insurance proceeds.
23.03 Termination. (A) If the Building or the Demised Premises shall be totally damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty, or if the Building shall be so damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty (whether or not the Demised Premises

are damaged or destroyed) as to require a reasonably estimated expenditure of more than thirty (30%) percent of the full insurable value of the Building immediately prior to the casualty or if more than thirty (30%) percent of the Demised Premises shall be so damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty within the final two (2) years of the Term, or any Superior Lessor or Superior Mortgagee will not permit Landlord to apply the net proceeds of Landlord’s insurance to the restoration of the Building or the Demised Premises or such fire or casualty is caused by a risk not covered by casualty insurance then maintained by Landlord, then in any such case Landlord may terminate this lease by giving Tenant notice to such effect within one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of the casualty. In the event that this lease shall be terminated as the result of a fire or other casualty, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount of any insurance proceeds received by Tenant for the restoration of the Demised Premises to the extent of any work performed or contribution paid by Landlord in connection with work and installations performed to the Demised Premises.
(B) If the Demised Premises or the Building shall be so damaged by fire or other casualty so as to render all or substantially all of the Demised Premises Untenantable by Tenant (in which event Landlord shall be required to notify Tenant within ninety (90) days thereafter (subject to reasonable insurance delays) (the "Casualty Notice") of the estimated time period by which such damage shall be repaired), and either (x) the Casualty Notice shall state that such damage cannot be repaired within twelve (12) months from the date of the occurrence of the event (or six (6) months in the last two (2) years of the Term) or (y) such damage is not in fact substantially repaired within the later to occur of twelve (12) months following such casualty or the date set forth in the Casualty Notice (or six (6) months in the last two (2) years of the Term), then Tenant shall have the right, by giving written notice to Landlord to such effect within thirty (30) days after either
(a) receipt by Tenant of a Casualty Notice which states that the damage cannot be restored or repaired within said twelve (12) month period (or six (6) months in the last two
(2)years of the Term) or (b) if applicable, the expiration of the period set forth in (y) above, to terminate this lease and its obligations hereunder, in which event the Term hereof shall expire upon the tenth (10 th) day after such notice is given, the fixed rent and additional rent shall be prorated as hereinabove provided and Tenant shall vacate the Demised Premises and surrender the same to Landlord in accordance with the provisions of this lease. If Tenant shall fail to serve such notice as aforesaid, then this lease shall continue in full force and effect subject, however, to Landlord's right of termination as set forth in this Article. If there be any dispute between Landlord and Tenant with respect to the foregoing, either party may submit such dispute to, and such dispute shall be resolved in accordance with Expedited Arbitration.
23.04 Tenant's Obligation. Landlord will not carry insurance of any kind on Tenant's Property or Tenant's Changes, and Landlord shall not be obligated to repair any damage thereto or replace the same. Tenant, at Tenant's expense, shall promptly repair and restore same to its condition prior to such fire or other casualty. Tenant shall reasonably cooperate with Landlord to permit Landlord's restoration required under this Article.

23.05 Express Agreement. The provisions of this Article shall be considered an express agreement governing any case of damage or destruction of the Demised Premises by fire or other casualty, and Section 227 of the Real Property Law of the State of New York, providing for such a contingency in the absence of an express agreement, and any other law of like import, now or hereafter in force, shall have no application in such case.
ARTICLE 24 EMINENT DOMAIN
24.01 Full Taking. If the whole or substantially all of the Demised Premises shall
be lawfully taken by condemnation or in any other manner for any public or quasi-public use or purpose (a "Taking"), this lease and the term and estate hereby granted shall forthwith terminate as of the date (the "Taking Date") of vesting of title in such taking and the rents shall be prorated and adjusted as of such date. If the whole or a portion of the Building shall be the subject to a Taking, then (whether or not the Demised Premises are affected), Landlord, at its option, may terminate this lease by notice to Tenant, delivered no later than ninety (90) days following the Taking Date.
24.02 Partial Taking. If only a part of the Building is so taken, this lease shall be unaffected by such taking except that either party may elect to terminate this lease in the event of a partial Taking of more than fifty (50%) percent of the useable area of the Demised Premises and if the remaining area of the Demised Premises shall not be reasonably sufficient for Tenant to continue feasible operation of its business, by notice of such election to the other party not later than thirty (30) days after (i) notice of such Taking is given by Landlord to Tenant, or (ii) the Taking Date, whichever occurs sooner, time being of the essence with respect thereto. Upon the timely giving of such notice this lease shall terminate on the Taking Date and the rents shall be prorated as of such date. Upon such partial Taking and this lease continuing in force as to any part of the Demised Premises, the rents apportioned to the part taken shall be prorated and adjusted as of the Taking Date and thereafter the fixed rent for the Demised Premises and additional rent shall be payable pursuant to Articles 5 and 6 according to the remaining area of the Demised Premises.
24.03 Award. As between Tenant and Landlord, Landlord shall be entitled to receive the entire award in any proceeding with respect to any Taking without deduction therefrom for any estate vested in Tenant by this lease and Tenant shall receive no part of such award, except as expressly provided in this Section. Tenant expressly assigns to Landlord all of its right, title and interest in or to every such award. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Tenant may make an independent claim with the condemning authority for Tenant's moving expenses, the value of Tenant's Property or any Tenant's Changes which do not become part of the Building, the Real Property or property of Landlord; provided however that Landlord's award is not thereby reduced or otherwise adversely affected.

24.04 Temporary Taking. If the temporary use or occupancy of all or any part of the Demised Premises shall be subject to a Taking during the Term, Tenant shall be entitled, except as hereinafter set forth, to receive that portion of the award for such taking which represents compensation for the use and occupancy of the Demised Premises and, if so awarded, for the Taking of Tenant's Property and for moving expenses, and Landlord shall be entitled to receive that portion which represents reimbursement for the cost of restoration of the Demised Premises. This lease shall be unaffected by such Taking and Tenant shall continue responsible for all of its obligations hereunder insofar as such obligations are not affected by such Taking and shall continue to pay in full the fixed rent and additional rent when due. If the period of temporary use or occupancy shall extend beyond the Expiration Date, that part of the award which represents compensation for the use or occupancy of the Demised Premises (or a part thereof) shall be divided between Landlord and Tenant so that Tenant shall receive so much thereof as represents the period prior to the Expiration Date and Landlord shall receive so much thereof as represents the period subsequent to the Expiration Date. All moneys received by Tenant as, or as part of, an award for temporary use and occupancy for a period beyond the date to which the rents hereunder have been paid by Tenant shall be received, held and applied by Tenant as a trust fund for payment of the rents due hereunder.
24.05 Restoration. In the event of a Taking of less than the whole of the Building which does not result in a termination of this lease, or in the event of a Taking for a temporary use or occupancy of all or any part of the Demised Premises which does not extend beyond the Expiration Date, Landlord, at its expense, and to the extent any award or awards shall be sufficient for the purpose, shall proceed with reasonable diligence to repair, alter and restore the remaining parts of the Building and the Demised Premises to substantially a Building standard condition to the extent that the same may be feasible and so as to constitute a complete and tenantable Building and Demised Premises.
ARTICLE 25 SURRENDER AND HOLDOVER
25.01 Surrender. On the last day of the Term, or upon any earlier termination of
this lease, or upon any re-entry by Landlord upon the Demised Premises, Tenant shall quit and surrender the Demised Premises to Landlord "broom-clean" and in good order, condition and repair, except for ordinary wear and tear (subject to Landlord’s maintenance and repair obligations under this lease and damage due to casualty and condemnation provided, Tenant has assigned Landlord its insurance proceeds in connection with the same) and Tenant shall remove all of Tenant's Property therefrom except as otherwise expressly provided in this lease and shall restore the Demised Premises as herein provided and wherever such removal results in damage thereto. If the Expiration Date or the date of sooner termination of this lease shall fall on a day which is not a business day, then Tenant's obligations under this Article and Article 15 shall be performed on or prior to the immediately preceding business day. Tenant expressly waives, for itself and for any Person claiming through or under Tenant, any rights which Tenant or any such Person may have under the provisions of Section 2201 of the New York Civil Practice

Law and Rules and of any similar or successor law of same import then in force, in connection with any holdover proceedings which Landlord may institute to enforce the provisions of this lease.
25.02 Holdover. Tenant acknowledges that possession of the Demised Premises must be surrendered to Landlord on the Expiration Date or the date of sooner termination of this lease. The parties recognize and agree that the damage to Landlord resulting from any failure by Tenant to timely surrender possession of the Demised Premises will be extremely substantial, will exceed the amount of the monthly installments of the fixed rent and additional rent payable hereunder and will be impossible to accurately measure. Tenant agrees that if possession of the Demised Premises is not surrendered to Landlord on or before thirty (30) days after the Expiration Date (or sooner termination of this lease) in the condition required under this lease and otherwise in accordance with the terms hereof, in addition to any other rights or remedies Landlord may have hereunder or at law, and without in any manner limiting Landlord's right to demonstrate and collect any damages suffered by Landlord, Tenant hereby indemnifies Landlord against liability arising from Tenant's failure to surrender the Demised Premises as provided herein, including any claims made by any succeeding tenant or prospective tenant founded upon delay in obtaining possession of the Demised Premises and Tenant shall pay to Landlord on account of use and occupancy of the Demised Premises for each month and for each portion of any month during which Tenant holds over in the Demised Premises after the Expiration Date (or sooner termination of this lease) a sum equal to (a) during the first thirty (30) days of such holdover, one hundred fifty (150%) percent of the fixed rent that was payable under this lease during the last month of the Term, plus all additional rent which was payable under this lease during the last month of the Term; and (b) thereafter, two hundred (200%) percent of the fixed rent which was payable under this lease during the last month of the Term, plus all additional rent which was payable under this lease during the last month of the Term. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to permit Tenant to retain possession of the Demised Premises after the Expiration Date (or sooner termination of this lease) or to limit in any manner Landlord's right to regain possession of the Demised Premises through summary proceedings, or otherwise, and no acceptance by Landlord of payments from Tenant after the Expiration Date shall be deemed to be other than on account of the amount to be paid by Tenant in accordance with the provisions of this Section. The provisions of this Article shall survive the Expiration Date.
ARTICLE 26 CONDITIONS OF LIMITATION
26.01 Conditions of Limitation. This lease and the term and estate hereby
granted are subject to the limitations that:

(c)if Tenant shall default in the payment when due of any installment of fixed rent or in the payment when due of any additional rent, or in the restoration of any security deposit as required under Article 39 or shall fail to maintain any insurance required to be maintained under this lease or to provide Landlord evidence thereof, and such default shall in any event continue for five (5) business days after notice by Landlord to Tenant that such rent is due or security deposit is to be restored or such insurance has failed to be maintained or delivered, as the case may be; or

(d)if Tenant shall default in the performance of any term of this lease on Tenant's part to be performed (other than the payment of fixed rent and additional rent) and Tenant shall fail to remedy such default as soon as practicable and in any event within thirty (30) days after notice by Landlord to Tenant of such default, or if such default is of such a nature that it can be remedied, but cannot be completely remedied within said period of thirty
(30) days, if Tenant shall not (x) promptly upon the giving by Landlord of such notice, advise Landlord of Tenant's intention to institute all steps necessary to remedy such situation, (y) promptly institute and thereafter diligently prosecute to completion all steps necessary to remedy the same, and (z) complete such remedy within a reasonable time after the date of the giving of said notice by Landlord and in any event prior to such time as would either subject Landlord, its agents, any Superior Lessor or Superior Mortgagee to prosecution for a crime or cause a default under the any Superior Lease or Superior Mortgage; or
(e)if this lease or the estate hereby granted or the unexpired balance of the Term shall, by operation of law or otherwise, devolve upon or pass to any Person other than Tenant except as is expressly permitted under Article 10; or
(f)if Tenant shall fail to perform or observe some term or condition of this lease which, because of its character, would immediately (i) jeopardize Landlord’s interest in the Real Property or the health or safety of any person, (ii) have a material and adverse affect on the operation of the Building or any Building system, or (iii) have a material and adverse affect on the business operations of any occupant, and such failure continues for ten (10) days after notice from Landlord to Tenant specifying such default, or, if such default is of such a nature that it cannot be completely remedied within said period of ten (10) days, if Tenant fails to commence to remedy such default within such ten (10) day period, or fails thereafter to diligently prosecute to completion all steps necessary to remedy such default; or
(g)if the Demised Premises shall become vacant or deserted for ten (10) consecutive days or abandoned (and the fact that any of Tenant's Property remains in the Demised Premises shall not constitute evidence that Tenant has not vacated, deserted or abandoned the Demised Premises) or if Tenant shall fail to take occupancy of the Demised Premises, or a floor thereof, as the case may be, within thirty (30) days after delivery of possession thereof; or
(h)if Tenant shall default in the performance of any term, covenant, agreement or condition on Tenant's part to be observed or performed under any other lease, license or occupancy agreement with Landlord of space in the Building and such default shall continue beyond the grace period, if any, set forth in such other lease, license or occupancy agreement for the remedying of such default;

then in any of said events Landlord may give to Tenant notice of intention to terminate this lease and to end the Term and the estate hereby granted at the expiration of three
(3)days from the date of the giving of such notice, and, if such notice is given, this lease and the term and estate hereby granted (whether or not the Term shall have commenced) shall terminate upon the expiration of said three (3) days with the same effect as if that day were the Expiration Date, but Tenant shall remain liable as provided in Article 28.
26.02 Summary Proceedings. Nothing in Section 26.01 shall be deemed to require Landlord to give the notices therein provided for prior to the commencement of a summary proceeding for non-payment of rent or a plenary action for the recovery of rent on account of any default in the payment of the same, it being intended that such notices are for the sole purpose of creating a conditional limitation hereunder pursuant to which this lease shall terminate and if Tenant thereafter remains in possession or occupancy, it shall become a holdover tenant.
26.03 Overtime Services. If the Demised Premises shall at any time be vacant, deserted or abandoned, or if Tenant shall be in default beyond any applicable grace period provided in Section 26.01, then, in any such event, Landlord may without notice refuse to provide overtime services unless Tenant has made arrangements for advance payment acceptable to Landlord.
26.04 Multiple Obligors. If, at any time (a) Tenant shall be comprised of two (2) or more persons, or (b) there is a guarantor of any of Tenant's obligations under this lease, or (c) Tenant's interest in this lease shall have been assigned, the word "Tenant", as used in clauses (a) and (b) of Section 26.01, shall mean any one or more of the persons primarily or secondarily liable for Tenant's obligations under this lease. Any sums received by Landlord from or on behalf of Tenant during the pendency of any proceeding of the types referred to in clauses (a) and (b) of Section 26.0 1 shall be deemed paid as compensation for the use and occupancy of the Demised Premises and the acceptance of any such compensation by Landlord shall not be deemed an acceptance of rent or a waiver on the part of Landlord of any rights under this Article or Article 28.
ARTICLE 27
RE-ENTRY BY LANDLORD
27.01 Re-entry. If Tenant shall default in the payment of any installment of fixed rent, or of any additional rent, on any date upon which the same ought to be paid, and if such default shall continue for five (5) business days after Landlord shall have given to Tenant a notice specifying such default, or if this lease shall expire as provided in Article 26, Landlord or Landlord's agents and employees may immediately or at any time thereafter re-enter the Demised Premises, or any part thereof, in the name of the whole, either by summary dispossess proceedings or by any suitable action or proceeding at law, or by force or otherwise, without being liable to indictment, prosecution or damages therefor, and may repossess the same, and may remove any persons therefrom, to the end that Landlord may have, hold and enjoy the Demised

Premises again as and of its first estate and interest therein. The word re-enter, as herein used, is not restricted to its

technical legal meaning. In the event of any termination of this lease under the provisions of Article 26 or if Landlord shall re-enter the Demised Premises under the provisions of this Article or in the event of the termination of this lease, or of re-entry, by or under any summary dispossess or other proceeding or action or any provision of law by reason of default hereunder on the part of Tenant, Tenant shall thereupon pay to Landlord the fixed rent and additional rent payable by Tenant to Landlord up to the time of such termination of this lease, or of such recovery of possession of the Demised Premises by Landlord, as the case may be, and shall also pay to Landlord damages as provided in Article 28.
27.02 Injunction. In the event of a breach or threatened breach by Tenant of any of its obligations under this lease, Landlord shall also have the right of injunction. The special remedies to which Landlord may resort hereunder are cumulative and are not intended to be exclusive of any other remedies or means of redress to which Landlord may lawfully be entitled at any time and Landlord may invoke any remedy allowed at law or in equity as if specific remedies were not provided for herein.
27.03 Application of Funds. If this lease shall terminate under the provisions of Article 26, or if Landlord shall re-enter the Demised Premises under the provisions of this Article, or in the event of the termination of this lease, or of re-entry, by or under any summary dispossess or other proceeding or action or any provision of law by reason of default hereunder on the part of Tenant, Landlord shall be entitled to retain all moneys, if any, paid by Tenant to Landlord, whether as advance rent, security or otherwise, but such moneys shall be credited by Landlord against any fixed rent or additional rent due from Tenant at the time of such termination or re-entry or, at Landlord's option, against any damages payable by Tenant under Article 28 or pursuant to law.
ARTICLE 28 DAMAGES
28.01 Computation. If this lease is terminated under Article 26, or if Landlord
shall re-enter the Demised Premises under Article 27, or in the event of the termination of this lease, or of re-entry, by or under any summary dispossess or other proceeding or action or any provision of law by reason of Tenant's default hereunder, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as damages, at Landlord's election either:
(a)a sum which at the time of such termination or re-entry by Landlord, as the case may be, represents the then value of the excess, if any, of:
(1)the aggregate of the fixed rent and the additional rent payable hereunder which would have been payable by Tenant (conclusively presuming the additional rent to be the same as was payable for the year immediately preceding such termination unless termination is in the first year, in which event such additional rent shall be as reasonably estimated by Landlord) for the period commencing with the date of such earlier termination or re-entry, as

the case may be, and ending with the Expiration Date, had this lease not so terminated or had Landlord not so re-entered the Demised Premises; over
(2)the aggregate rental value of the Demised Premises for the same period; or
(b)sums equal to the fixed rent and the additional rent (as above presumed) payable hereunder which would have been payable by Tenant had this lease not so terminated, or had Landlord not so re-entered the Demised Premises, payable upon the due dates therefor specified herein following such termination or re-entry and until the Expiration Date; provided, however, that if Landlord shall relet the Demised Premises during said period, Landlord shall credit Tenant with the net rents received by Landlord from such reletting, such net rents to be determined by first deducting from the gross rents as and when received by Landlord from such reletting the expenses incurred or paid by Landlord in terminating this lease or in re-entering the Demised Premises and in securing possession thereof, as well as the expenses of reletting, including altering and preparing the Demised Premises for new tenants, brokers' commissions, and all other expenses properly chargeable against the Demised Premises and the rental therefrom; it being understood that any such reletting may be for a period shorter or longer than the remaining term of this lease; but in no event shall Tenant be entitled to receive any excess of such net rents over the sums payable by Tenant to Landlord hereunder, nor shall Tenant be entitled in any suit for the collection of damages pursuant to this Subsection to a credit in respect of any net rents from a reletting, except to the extent that such net rents are actually received by Landlord. If the Demised Premises or any part thereof should be relet in combination with other space, then proper apportionment on a square foot basis (for equivalent space) shall be made of the rent received from such reletting and of the expenses of reletting. If the Demised Premises or any part thereof is relet by Landlord for the unexpired portion of the Term, or any part thereof, before presentation of proof of such damages to any court, commission or tribunal, the amount of rent reserved upon such reletting shall, prima facie, be the fair and reasonable rental value for the Demised Premises, or part thereof, so relet during the term of the reletting.
28.02 Recovery. Suit or suits for the recovery of such damages, or any installments thereof, may be brought by Landlord from time to time at its election, and nothing contained herein shall be deemed to require Landlord to postpone suit until the date when the Term would have expired if it had not been terminated under Article 26, or under any provision of law, or had Landlord not re-entered the Demised Premises. Nothing herein contained shall be construed to limit or preclude recovery by Landlord against Tenant of any sums or damages to which, in addition to the damages particularly provided above, Landlord may lawfully be entitled by reason of any default hereunder on the part of Tenant. Nothing herein contained shall be construed to limit or prejudice the

right of Landlord to prove for and obtain as liquidated damages by reason of the termination of this lease or re-entry on the Demised Premises for the default of Tenant under this lease, an amount equal to the maximum allowed by any statute or rule of law in effect at the time when, and governing the proceedings in which, such damages are to be proved whether or not such amount be greater, equal to, or less than any of the sums referred to in Section 28.01. Landlord 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 payable under such re-letting.
ARTICLE 29 WAIVERS
29.01 Redemption. Tenant, for itself, and on behalf of any and all persons
claiming through or under Tenant, including creditors of all kinds, does hereby waive and surrender all right and privilege which they or any of them might have under or by reason of any present or future law, to redeem the Demised Premises or to have a continuance of this lease for the term hereby demised after being dispossessed or ejected therefrom by process of law or under the terms of this lease or after the termination of this lease as herein provided.
29.02 Application of Payments. If Tenant is in arrears in payment of fixed rent or additional rent hereunder, Tenant waives its right, if any, to designate the items against which any payments made by Tenant are to be credited, and Tenant agrees that Landlord may apply any payments made by Tenant to any items it sees fit, irrespective of and notwithstanding any designation or request by Tenant as to the items against which any such payments shall be credited. No amounts to be refunded to Tenant or credited or applied to fixed rent or additional rent hereunder shall be so refunded, credited or applied for any period during which Tenant is in default of any of the terms, covenants or conditions on its part to be performed or observed under this lease.
29.03 Jury Trial and Counterclaim. LANDLORD AND TENANT HEREBY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM BROUGHT BY EITHER AGAINST THE OTHER ON ANY MATTER WHATSOEVER ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THIS LEASE, THE RELATIONSHIP OF LANDLORD AND TENANT, TENANT'S USE OR OCCUPANCY OF THE DEMISED PREMISES, INCLUDING ANY CLAIM OF INJURY OR DAMAGE, OR ANY EMERGENCY OR OTHER STATUTORY REMEDY WITH RESPECT THERETO. IT IS MUTUALLY AGREED THAT IF LANDLORD COMMENCES ANY SUMMARY PROCEEDING FOR NON-PAYMENT OF RENT OR TO RECOVER POSSESSION OF THE DEMISED PREMISES FOR ANY REASON WHATSOEVER, TENANT WILL NOT INTERPOSE AND DOES HEREBY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO INTERPOSE ANY COUNTERCLAIM OF WHATEVER NATURE OR DESCRIPTION IN ANY SUCH PROCEEDING OTHER THAN MANDATORY COUNTERCLAIMS WHICH IF NOT RAISED WOULD BE WAIVED.

29.04 Services. The provisions of Articles 17, 18 and 19 shall be considered express agreements governing the services to be furnished by Landlord, and Tenant agrees that any Legal Requirements, now or hereafter in force, shall have no application in connection with any enlargement of Landlord's obligations with respect to such services unless Tenant agrees, in writing, to pay to Landlord, as additional rent, Landlord's charges for any additional services provided.
ARTICLE 30
NO OTHER WAIVERS OR MODIFICATIONS
30.01 No Other Waivers or Modifications. The failure of either party to insist in any one or more instances upon the strict performance of any one or more of the obligations of this lease shall not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment for the future of the performance of such one or more obligations of this lease, but the same shall continue and remain in full force and effect with respect to any subsequent breach, act or omission. No executory agreement hereafter made between Landlord and Tenant shall be effective to change, modify, waive, release, discharge, terminate or effect an abandonment of this lease, in whole or in part, unless such executory agreement is in writing, refers expressly to this lease and is signed by the party against whom enforcement of the change, modification, waiver, release, discharge or termination or effectuation of the abandonment is sought.
The following specific provisions shall not be deemed to limit the generality of any of the foregoing provisions of this Article:
(a)no agreement to accept a surrender of all or any part of the Demised Premises shall be valid unless in writing and signed by Landlord. The delivery of keys to an employee of Landlord or of its agent shall not operate as a termination of this lease or a surrender of the Demised Premises. If Tenant shall at any time request Landlord to sublet the Demised Premises for Tenant's account, Landlord or its agent is authorized to receive said keys for such purposes without releasing Tenant from any of its obligations under this lease, and Tenant hereby releases Landlord from any liability for loss or damage to any of Tenant's Property in connection with such subletting;
(b)the receipt by Landlord of rent with knowledge of breach of any obligation of this lease shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach;
(c)no payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount than the correct fixed rent or additional rent due hereunder shall be deemed to be other than a payment on account, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord's right to recover the balance or pursue any other remedy in this lease or at law provided;

(d)no receipt of monies by Landlord from Tenant, after any re- entry or after the cancellation or termination of this lease in any lawful manner, shall reinstate the lease; and
(e)no work or repairs performed by Landlord in the Building shall be deemed a constructive eviction of Tenant.
ARTICLE 31
CURING TENANT'S DEFAULTS; FEES AND EXPENSES
31.01 Landlord's Rights. If Tenant shall default in the performance of any of Tenant's obligations under this lease, Landlord, without thereby waiving such default, may (but shall not be obligated to) perform the same for the account and at the reasonable expense of Tenant, without notice, in a case of emergency, and in any other case, only if such default continues after the expiration of (i) three (3) business days from the date Landlord gives Tenant notice of intention so to do, or (ii) the applicable grace period provided in Section 26.01 or elsewhere in this lease for cure of such default, whichever occurs sooner. Bills for any such reasonable expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with any such performance by it for the account of Tenant (plus an administrative charge of three (3%) percent thereof), and bills for all reasonable costs, expenses and disbursements of every kind and nature whatsoever, including reasonable counsel fees and expenses, incurred in connection with any default by Tenant or in collecting or endeavoring to collect the fixed rent or additional rent or any part thereof or enforcing or endeavoring to enforce any rights against Tenant, under or in connection with this lease, or pursuant to law, including any such cost, expense and disbursement incurred in instituting and prosecuting summary proceedings, as well as bills for any property, material, labor or services provided, furnished, or rendered, by Landlord or at its instance to Tenant, may be sent by Landlord to Tenant monthly, or immediately, at Landlord's option, and, shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms of such bills.
ARTICLE 32 BROKER
32.01 Broker. Each of Tenant and Landlord covenants, warrants and represents
to the other that it has dealt with no broker or finder except Silverstein Properties, LLC, Newmark & Company Real Estate, Inc. and Savills Inc. (collectively, "Broker") in consummating this lease and the renting of the Demised Premises. Each of Tenant and Landlord agrees to indemnify, defend and hold the other harmless from and against any claims for a brokerage, finder or other commission or fee arising out of any conversations or negotiations had by the indemnifying party with any broker or finder except Broker. Landlord shall pay any commissions due and owing Broker pursuant to a separate written agreement. This Article shall survive the Expiration Date or earlier termination of this lease.

ARTICLE 33

Notwithstanding the foregoing, communications from Landlord, such as correspondence and rent bills for fixed rent and/or additional rent and/or Building wide notices, which are sent in the ordinary course of business need only be sent to Tenant (without the requirement to send a copy to any other person or entity) and may be sent exclusively by regular mail, by hand or by e-mail (if an e-mail address is provided by Tenant) and Building wide notices or notices to Tenant regarding operations and/or repairs at the Building may be sent to the Demised Premises.
ARTICLE 34

certifying (a) that this lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or if there have been modifications, that the same is in full force and effect as modified and stating the modifications) and whether any options granted to Tenant pursuant to the provisions of this lease have been exercised, (b) the dates to which the fixed rent and additional rent have been paid and the amounts thereof, (c) whether or not, to the best knowledge of the signer, the other party is in default in performance of any of its obligations under this lease, and, if so, specifying each such default of which the signer may have knowledge, and (d) such other information as Landlord shall reasonably request in connection with this lease, it being intended that any such statement delivered pursuant hereto may be relied upon by others with whom Landlord may be dealing.

Landlord shall not record this lease.
ARTICLE 35
TENANT’S OFFER SPACE OPTION
35.01 Definition. For purposes of this Article, the term "Available Offer Space" shall mean any office space located on the eleventh (11 th) floor of the Building, which encompasses a minimum of 8,000 rentable square feet of contiguous space, which becomes available for leasing.
35.02 Exercise of Right. So long as there are at least four (4) years remaining in the Term as the same may be extended pursuant to the terms of this lease (or if there is less than four (4) years and Tenant simultaneously exercises its Renewal Option), provided that (i) Tenant is not then in default under any of the monetary or material non- monetary terms, covenants and conditions of this lease to be observed or performed by Tenant, beyond the giving of notice and expiration of applicable cure periods herein provided, and (ii) Tenant Named Herein (or any Permitted Transferee) shall occupy at least a full floor in the Building and at least 75% of the Demised Premises for the conduct of its business, then, subject to (a) any other existing contractual renewal rights or options in effect as of the date of this lease of existing tenants in the Building, and (b) any expansion rights or options in effect as of the date of this lease of existing tenants in the Building (but not the expansion rights of future tenants of the Building), and (c) the extension or renewal of a lease of any then existing tenants or occupants of the then applicable Available Offer Space whether or not pursuant to a contractual renewal option, if any portion of the Available Offer Space shall become available for leasing after the Commencement Date and after the initial lease up of such Available Offer Space if the Available Offer Space is vacant as of the Commencement Date, Landlord shall prior to offering such Available Offer Space to another person or entity offer to lease such Available Offer Space to Tenant upon the terms set forth in Section 35.03 below by written notice (the "Available Terms Offer") given to Tenant. Tenant shall have the

option, exercisable by delivery of notice (the "Assenting Notice") to Landlord within ten
(10) business days after receipt of the Available Terms Offer, accepting the Available Terms Offer, in which event such Available Offer Space accepted by Tenant shall be added to the Demised Premises in accordance with the Available Terms Offer, pursuant to the terms set forth in Section 35.03 below, and Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord, promptly after Tenant's receipt thereof, an amendment to this lease (the "Available Offer Space Agreement") containing the terms set forth in the Available Terms Offer, and otherwise having the terms of this lease and being in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Tenant, Landlord shall countersign such Available Offer Space Agreement and return it to Tenant after Landlord’s receipt of any such partially executed agreement from Tenant. After delivery of the Assenting Notice, neither Landlord’s failure to prepare or deliver the applicable Available Offer Space Agreement nor Tenant’s or Landlord’s failure to execute or deliver the same shall vitiate the terms of this Article, and the Available Offer Space shall nevertheless be added to the Demised Premises as provided herein. Nothing herein contained shall require Landlord to reach any agreement or understanding with Tenant or to match any prior or subsequent offer by any other proposed tenant, and Landlord shall be free, if Tenant shall reject said Available Terms Offer or fail to respond to same within said (10) business day period, to lease all or any portion of the applicable Available Offer Space on any terms Landlord may desire, whether more favorable than that set forth in the Available Terms Offer or not and Landlord shall not be required to offer such applicable Available Offer Space again until such applicable Available Offer Space becomes available for leasing after Landlord’s leasing of the same following Tenant’s rejection or failure to respond to the applicable Available Offer Space. Notwithstanding the foregoing provision of this Article, if Tenant shall fail or refuse to accept the Available Terms Offer, Landlord and Tenant agree that neither the validity of this lease nor Tenant's obligations hereunder shall be affected thereby and Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord by reason thereof.
35.03 Terms of Offer. If Tenant shall deliver the Assenting Notice to Landlord within the aforesaid (10) business day period, the applicable Available Offer Space shall be added to the Demised Premises in accordance with the terms, covenants and conditions of this Article as of the date Landlord delivers vacant possession of the Available Offer Space to Tenant (the “Available Offer Space Commencement Date”) and the Available Offer Space Agreement shall provide that effective as of the Available Offer Space Commencement Date, the applicable Available Offer Space shall be deemed included in the Demised Premises upon all of the same terms, covenants and conditions contained in this lease, except that:
1.The fixed rent payable by Tenant pursuant to this lease for the Available Offer Space shall be increased by an amount equal to one hundred (100%) percent of the Fair Market Rent for the applicable Available Offer Space prevailing six (6) months prior to the Available Offer Space Commencement Date as determined in accordance with the Fair Market Rent Determination Procedure modified accordingly to apply to the Available Offer Space and the Available Offer Space Commencement Date. All relevant factors, including, without limitation, the provisions of subsections 2 and 4 below, shall be taken into account in the Fair Market Rent Determination Procedure for the Available Offer Space.

2.Sections 2.06, 4.02 and 4.03 of this lease shall not apply to the Available Offer Space and Tenant agrees to accept possession of the applicable Available Offer Space in its then as-is condition on the Available Offer Space Commencement Date, and Tenant shall not be entitled to any rental concession, base building work or Landlord’s Contribution unless Landlord shall, in its sole determination, elect otherwise, provided, however, that Landlord shall deliver the Available Offer Space vacant and broom clean and with all Building systems servicing the Available Offer Space in good working order.
3.The Available Offer Space Agreement shall contain the
following language:
"If Landlord is unable to give possession of the Available Offer Space to Tenant on the Available Offer Space Commencement Date because of the holding-over or retention of possession of any tenant, undertenant or occupants, or for any other reason beyond Landlord's reasonable control, Landlord 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 wise to extend the term of the Lease, but the Available Offer Space Commencement Date shall be deemed extended until the date on which Landlord shall have delivered possession thereof to Tenant (provided Tenant is not responsible for the inability to obtain possession). If as of the intended Available Offer Space Commencement Date, any tenant or occupant is then holding over in the Available Offer Space, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts, including the commencement and prosecution of summary dispossess proceedings or other similar appropriate legal action as Landlord reasonably deems necessary, to obtain vacant possession of the Available Offer Space. The provisions of this Paragraph are intended to constitute "an express provision to the contrary" within the meaning of Section 223-a of the New York Real Property Law."
4."Tenant's Tax Proportionate Share" and “Tenant’s Operating Expense Proportionate Share”, as such terms are defined in Articles 5 and 6 of this lease shall be increased by an amount equal to the percentage derived by dividing the rentable square foot area of the applicable Available Offer Space (as determined by Landlord on the same basis as Landlord used to calculate the rentable square footage of the original Demised Premises) by the rentable square foot area of the Building used to calculate Tenant’s Tax Proportionate Share and Tenant’s Operating Expense Proportionate Share, as the case may be, for the original Demised Premises, and the Base Tax Year and the Base Year for Operating Expenses shall remain unchanged except if either was updated pursuant to the Fair Market Rent Determination Procedure.
35.04 Available for Leasing. For the purposes of this Article 35 hereof, the term “available for leasing” shall mean that the relevant Available Offer Space is vacant or expected to become vacant, is being offered for leasing to the general marketplace and is unencumbered or expected to be unencumbered by (1) a lease or leases or other occupancy agreement(s) between Landlord and a tenant or occupant having direct privity with Landlord thereof, or (2) an assignment(s) of any lease(s) by the tenant(s) thereunder,

or (3) any and all sublettings of all or any portion of such space by such tenants, or (4) any assignment(s) of such sublettings, or (5) any extensions or renewals of such leases. No space shall be deemed “available for leasing” if the then tenant or occupant of such space or any assignee holding through or under such tenant or occupant shall enter into
(x) any agreement with Landlord extending or renewing the letting agreement or other occupancy agreement affecting such space, or (y) any new lease with Landlord affecting such space. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 35, if Landlord sends an Available Terms Offer to Tenant which is thereafter accepted by Tenant and such Available Offer Space shall thereafter become no longer available for leasing, then the Available Terms Offer Landlord sent and Tenant accepted shall be null and void and of no further force or effect.
ARTICLE 36

At the election of Landlord such security deposit shall be held by Landlord in the form of the Letter or as cash. If Tenant defaults in the performance of any of the terms of this lease, including the payment of rent, Landlord may use, apply or retain the whole or any part of the security so deposited to the extent required for the payment of any rent or for any sum which Landlord may expend or may be required to expend by reason of Tenant's default in respect of any of the terms of this lease, including any damages or deficiency in the reletting of the Demised Premises, whether accruing before or after summary proceedings or other re-entry by Landlord. In the case of every such use, application or retention, Tenant, on demand, shall cause the Letter or cash deposit, as the case may be, to be restored to the full Security Amount as provided in Section 39.02 with respect

to the Letter, and any failure by Tenant to do so on demand shall constitute a default under this lease. If any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other creditor debtor proceedings shall be instituted by or against Tenant, or its successors or assigns, or the guarantor of this lease, if any, any security deposited with Landlord pursuant to this Section shall be deemed to be applied first to the payment of any rents and/or other charges due Landlord for all periods prior to the institution of such proceedings and the balance, if any, of such security deposited with Landlord may be retained by Landlord in partial liquidation of Landlord's damages. If Tenant shall fully and punctually comply with all of the terms of this lease, the Letter or cash deposit, as the case may be, shall be returned to Tenant after the termination of this lease and delivery of exclusive possession of the Demised Premises to Landlord. In the event of a sale or lease of the Building, Landlord shall have the right to transfer the security to the vendee or lessee and Landlord shall upon such transfer be released by Tenant from all liability for the return of such security and Tenant agrees to look solely to the new landlord for the return of said security.

Tenant shall not assign or encumber or attempt to assign or encumber the money deposited herein as security and neither Landlord nor its successors or assigns shall be bound by any such attempt, assignment or encumbrance.
39.02 Letter of Credit. The Letter shall be an irrevocable, clean, unconditional and transferable commercial letter of credit, issued by a bank which is a "money center" bank, is authorized by the State of New York to and does conduct banking business in New York State and is a member of the New York Clearing House Association, which Letter shall permit Landlord (a) to draw thereon at a location in New York City up to the full amount of the credit evidenced thereby for the payment of amounts due under the terms, provisions, covenants or conditions of this lease and (b) to draw at a location in New York City the full amount thereof to be held as cash security if for any reason the Letter is not renewed within forty-five (45) days prior to its expiration date. The Letter (and each renewal thereof) shall (i) be for a term of not less than one (1) year (except that the last Letter shall be for a term expiring sixty (60) days after the Expiration Date); (ii) expressly provide for the issuing bank to notify Landlord in writing not less than sixty (60) days prior to its expiration as to its renewal or non-renewal, as the case may be; (iii) be fully transferable by the beneficiary thereof (and its successors and assigns) without charge or if there is a charge for such transfer, the charge therefor shall be paid by Tenant upon demand by Landlord; and (iv) be in form and substance reasonably approved by Landlord. The Letter shall expressly provide that the issuing bank shall pay to Landlord or its duly authorized representative an amount up to the face amount of the Letter upon presentation of the Letter and a sight draft in the amount to be drawn. Not less than forty- five (45) days prior to the expiration date of each Letter (and every renewal thereof), Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a renewal or new Letter subject to all of the conditions aforesaid, all to the intent and purposes, that a Letter in the sum of not less than the Security Amount shall be in effect during the entire Term and the failure of the Letter to be timely renewed or replaced shall be a default by Tenant hereunder notwithstanding that Landlord may be retaining such cash security. If Landlord applies or retains any portion or all of the proceeds of the Letter, Tenant shall restore the amount so applied or retained by causing the bank issuing the Letter to issue an amendment thereto, or if no Letter was then outstanding by causing a new Letter to be issued so that, at all times, the

amount of the Letter which may be drawn upon shall be at least equal to the Security Amount. If the financial institution which issued such Letter enters into any form of regulatory or governmental receivership, conservatorship or other similar regulatory or governmental proceeding including, without limitation, any receivership or conservatorship initiated or commenced by or on behalf of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), or is otherwise declared insolvent or downgraded by the FDIC or closed for any reason, Tenant shall immediately deliver to Landlord a substitute letter of credit from a financial institution acceptable to Landlord, in its reasonable discretion. Failure by Tenant to comply with the provisions of this Article shall be deemed a material default hereunder entitling Landlord to exercise any and all remedies as provided in this lease for default in the payment of fixed rent and, to draw on the existing Letter up to its full amount.
39.03 Reduction in Security Amount. Provided Tenant shall not then be in default on the Reduction Date under any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this lease beyond the expiration of applicable notice and cure periods provided herein and provided further that at no time shall Landlord have drawn down on the security deposit or Letter theretofore maintained under this lease in accordance with Section 39.01, then, the Security Amount shall be reduced to Nine Hundred Fifty-Six Thousand One Hundred Six and 67/100 ($956,106.67) Dollars on October 1, 2028 (the “Reduction Date”).

restriction, (a) the fixed rent and additional rent, after such termination, shall become payable under this lease in the amount of the fixed rent and additional rent set forth in this lease for the period following such termination, and (b) Tenant shall pay to Landlord, if legally permissible, an amount equal to (i) the fixed rent and additional rent which would have been paid pursuant to this lease, but for such rent restriction, less (ii) the fixed rent and additional rent paid by Tenant to Landlord during the period that such rent restriction was in effect.

FAIR MARKET RENT DETERMINATION
(A) For purposes of this provision, the term “Subject Premises” shall be deemed to refer to (a) the Demised Premises for purposes of Article 7 hereof, and (b) the Available Offer Space for purposes of Article 35 hereof. For purposes of this provision, the term “Effective Date” shall be deemed to refer to (x) the first day of the Renewal Term for purposes of Article 7, and (y) the Available Offer Space Commencement Date for purposes of Article 35.
(A) The Fair Market Rent shall be deemed to mean the fair market rental value of the Subject Premises on the Effective Date, determined as if, the Subject Premises were available to a third party not occupying space in the Building in the then rental market for comparable commercial office space in first class office buildings in lower Manhattan for the applicable term and taking into account all relevant factors, including, without limitation, that (a) Landlord shall not be required to perform any work in or to the Subject Premises or contribute to any work to be performed, with respect to the Demised Premises for purposes of Article 7 or the Available Offer Space for purposes of Article 35, and (b) there shall be no free rent with respect to the Subject Premises; (c) the base year for escalations; and (d) that the Subject Premises are in as-is condition but in no event taking into account the value of any above standard office installations in the Subject Premises.
(C)For purposes of determining the Fair Market Rent, the following procedure shall apply:
(i)the Fair Market Rent shall be determined on the basis of the current use of the Subject Premises assuming that the Subject Premises are free and clear of all leases and tenancies (including this lease) and taking into account all relevant factors.
(ii)Except as otherwise provided in the lease with respect to the Available Offer Space, Landlord shall give Tenant written notice (the "Rent Notice") which shall set forth Landlord's determination of the Fair Market Rent ("Landlord's Determination") within thirty (30) days after receipt of Tenant’s Acceptance Notice with respect to Article 35, or on or prior to nine (9) months in advance of the commencement of the Renewal Term with respect to Article 7. If Landlord shall fail or refuse to give such notice as aforesaid within such time period, then until the Rent Notice shall be given, the rent payable for the Subject Premises shall be deemed to be the fixed rent and additional rent payable by Tenant on a square foot basis for the Demised Premises immediately prior to the Effective Date as applied to the Subject Premises.
(iii)Tenant shall give Landlord written notice ("Tenant's Option Notice"), within thirty (30) days after Tenant's receipt of the Rent Notice, of whether Tenant accepts or disputes Landlord's Determination. If Tenant in Tenant's Option Notice

100002198.5

accepts Landlord's Determination or if Tenant fails or refuses to give Tenant's Option Notice as aforesaid, Tenant shall be deemed to have accepted Landlord's Determination. If Tenant in Tenant's Option Notice disputes Landlord's Determination, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, within thirty (30) days after Tenant's receipt of the Rent Notice, Tenant's determination of the Fair Market Rent ("Tenant's Determination").
(iv)Landlord shall give Tenant written notice ("Landlord's R/O Notice"), within thirty (30) days after Landlord's receipt of Tenant's Determination, of whether Landlord accepts or disputes Tenant's Determination. If Landlord in Landlord's R/O Notice accepts Tenant's Determination or if Landlord fails or refuses to give Landlord's R/O Notice as aforesaid, Landlord shall be deemed to have accepted Tenant's Determination. If Landlord in Landlord's R/O Notice disputes Tenant's Determination, Landlord shall appoint an independent real estate appraiser ("Landlord's Appraiser") to negotiate with an independent real estate appraiser appointed by Tenant (“Tenant’s Appraiser”). If within thirty (30) days after Tenant's receipt of Landlord's R/O Notice, Landlord's Appraiser and Tenant's Appraiser shall mutually agree upon the determination (the "Mutual Determination") of the Fair Market Rent, their determination shall be final and binding upon the parties. If Landlord's Appraiser and Tenant's Appraiser shall be unable to reach a Mutual Determination within said thirty (30) day period, both of the Appraisers shall jointly select a third independent real estate appraiser (the "Third Appraiser") whose fee shall be borne equally by Landlord and Tenant. In the event that Landlord's Appraiser and Tenant's Appraiser shall be unable to jointly agree on the designation of the Third Appraiser within five (5) business days after they are requested to do so by either party, then the parties agree to allow the American Arbitration Association, or any successor organization, to designate the Third Appraiser in accordance with the rules, regulations and/or procedures of the American Arbitration Association or any successor organization.
(v)The Third Appraiser shall conduct such hearings and investigations as he or she may deem appropriate and shall, within thirty (30) days after the date of designation of the Third Appraiser, choose either Landlord's Determination or Tenant's Determination, and such choice by the Third Appraiser shall be conclusive and binding upon Landlord and Tenant. Each party shall pay its own counsel fees and expenses, if any, in connection with any arbitration under this Section, including the expenses and fees of any Appraiser selected by it in accordance with provisions of this Article. Any Appraiser appointed pursuant to this Article shall have at least ten (10) years' experience in leasing and valuation of properties which are similar in character to the Building and shall be either (a) a real estate broker licensed in New York, or (b) a licensed independent real estate appraiser who is a member of the American Institute of Appraisers. The Appraisers shall not have the power to add to, modify or change any of the provisions of this lease.
(vi)It is expressly understood that any determination of the Fair Market Rent pursuant to this Article shall be based on the criteria stated in this Section.

100002198.5

(D)After a determination has been made of the fixed rent and escalations payable for the Subject Premises from and after the Effective Date, the parties shall execute and deliver to each other an instrument setting forth the said fixed rent and escalations as herein determined, but any failure to do so shall not vitiate the terms of this Article.
(E)If the final determination of the fixed rent and escalations payable for the Subject Premises from and after the Effective Date shall not be made on or before the Effective Date in accordance with this lease, pending such final determination Tenant shall pay, as the fixed rent for the Subject Premises, an amount equal to Landlord's Determination (subject to payments pursuant to Article 5 and Article 6 of this lease). If, based upon the final determination hereunder of the fixed rent payable for the Subject Premises from and after the Effective Date, the payments made by Tenant on account thereof were less than the fixed rent finally determined to be payable, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount of such deficiency within thirty (30) days after demand therefor, and if the payments made by Tenant were greater than the fixed rent finally determined to be payable, Landlord shall credit the amount of any such excess to the next installments of fixed rent and additional rent due under this lease.
