Termination of Lease (a) Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that, effective as of the Termination Date, the Lease and the term thereof shall terminate and expire, and Tenant’s estate in and right of possession to the Premises shall terminate and be wholly extinguished, as if said Termination Date was originally set forth in the Lease as the expiration date thereunder. Effective as of the Termination Date, neither Landlord nor Tenant shall have any further rights or obligations under the Lease, except as provided in this Agreement. Effective as of the Termination Date, Landlord and Tenant for themselves and their predecessors-in-interest, successors and assigns, do hereby release and forever discharge each other, their successors and assigns, from all actions, causes of action, sums of money, covenants, agreements, promises, damages, judgments, claims and demands whatsoever in law or in equity which each against the other ever had, now has, or which they or their respective predecessors, successors or assigns hereafter may have, upon or by reason of any matter, cause or thing whatsoever from the beginning of the world through the Termination Date arising out of or in connection with the Lease or the Premises, or the Building; provided that (A) neither party shall be released from any of its obligations under this Agreement (and this Agreement shall survive the termination of the Lease), (B) neither Landlord or Tenant shall be released from any indemnification obligations that accrued under the Lease prior to the Termination Date and (C) the provisions of Section 8.13 and Section 8.21 of the Lease shall survive the termination of the Lease. Effective as of the Termination Date, Landlord shall be entitled to lease the Premises to any person or entity, or take any other action with respect thereto, free from any claim of Tenant or any person or entity claiming through Tenant.
(b) On or prior to the Termination Date, Tenant agrees to surrender unto Landlord and its successors and assigns, and Landlord agrees to accept, the Premises in its “as is” condition.
(c) In consideration of this Agreement and the termination of the Lease, Tenant agrees to permit the letter of credit in the amount of $8,698,662.00 issued by Citibank, N.A. (the “Letter of Credit”) which Letter of Credit Landlord is presently holding as security under the Lease, to be drawn down for the payment of the following sums: (i) $7,800,000.00 (the “Termination Fee”) to be drawn down and paid to Landlord in consideration of the termination of the Lease and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and (ii) $898,662.00, representing the balance of the proceeds of the Letter of Credit shall be paid to Tenant.

Tenant hereby agrees to cooperate with Landlord and execute any and all documents required by the issuing bank in order to facilitate Landlord’s efforts to draw down on the Proceeds of the Letter of Credit. The effectiveness of the surrender and termination provided for in this Agreement is subject to, and conditioned upon, Landlord’s receipt of the Termination Fee in accordance with the terms hereof. If Landlord does not receive the Termination Fee in accordance with the terms hereof, then the termination of the Lease shall automatically be null and void and of no further force or effect and the Lease shall continue in full force and effect as if this Agreement had never been entered into.
