Controls and Procedures The records, systems, controls, data and information of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries are recorded, stored, maintained and operated under means (including any electronic, mechanical or photographic process, whether computerized or not) that are under the exclusive ownership and direct control of the Company, the Company Subsidiaries or their accountants (including all means of access thereto and therefrom), except for any nonexclusive ownership and nondirect control that would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the system of internal accounting controls described below. The Company (i) has implemented and maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) to ensure that material information relating to the Company, including its consolidated Company Subsidiaries, is made known to the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer of the Company by others within those entities, and (ii) has disclosed, based on its most recent evaluation prior to the date of this Agreement, to the Company’s outside auditors and the audit committee of the Board of Directors (A) any significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that are reasonably likely to adversely affect the Company’s ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information, and (B) any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting. As of the date of this Agreement, no officer of the Company has knowledge of any reason that its outside auditors and its chief executive officer and chief financial officer shall not be able to give the certifications and attestations required pursuant to the rules and regulations adopted pursuant to Section 404 of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002, without qualification, when next due. Since December 31, 2008, (A) neither the Company nor any of the Company Subsidiaries nor, to the knowledge of the Company, any director, officer, employee, auditor, accountant or representative of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries, has received or otherwise had or obtained knowledge of any material complaint, allegation, assertion or claim, whether written or oral, regarding the accounting or auditing practices, procedures, methodologies or methods of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries or their respective internal accounting controls, including any material complaint, allegation, assertion or claim that the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries has engaged in questionable accounting or auditing practices, and (B) no attorney representing the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries, whether or not employed by the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries, has reported under Part 205 of the SEC Rules (17 CFR §205.1, et.seq.) evidence of a material violation of securities laws, breach of fiduciary duty or similar violation by the Company or any of its officers, directors, employees or agents to the Board of Directors or any committee thereof or to any director or officer of the Company. The management of the Company has, since January 1, 2006, performed the evaluation of the effectiveness, as of the end of each fiscal year, of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting required by SEC Rule 13a-15(c). The evaluation as of December 31, 2010 did not disclose any material weaknesses.

Notwithstanding that Landlord shall agree to instruct its employees to follow such security procedures as set forth in this Lease, Landlord shall in no way be responsible for any violation of such procedures or circumvention of such Procedures as may occur from time to time at the Building and in no event shall Landlord be liable to Tenant for any loss, injury or damage to Tenant or to any other person as may result from violations or circumventions of the security procedures instituted at the Building as described in this subsection 15.01(h).

Holidays shall be deemed to mean all those dates designated as holidays by the Board of Governors of the New York Stock Exchange, in addition to dates designated as holidays by the City of New York, State of New York and/or the United States, and in addition shall also include holidays to which maintenance or service employees of the Building are entitled under their union contract or contracts.
15.03. Landlord reserves the right to interrupt, curtail or suspend the services required to be furnished by Landlord under this Article 15 when the necessity therefor arises by reason of accident, emergency, mechanical breakdown, or when required by any law, order or regulation of any Federal, state, county or municipal authority, or for any other cause beyond the reasonable control of Landlord. Except in case of an emergency, Landlord will notify Tenant in advance of any such stoppage, and if ascertainable, its estimated duration. Landlord shall complete all required repairs or other necessary work in accordance with the standards set forth in subsection 13.01(b). Except as set forth in Section 13.03 hereof and subject to the provision of Section 27.03 hereof, no diminution or abatement of rent or other compensation shall or will be claimed by Tenant as a result therefrom, nor shall this Lease or any of the obligations of Tenant be affected or reduced by reason of such interruption, curtailment or suspension.
(a) If Tenant shall require heat or air-conditioning services at any time other than as furnished by Landlord in accordance with subsection 15.01(c) hereof, then, if Tenant shall give notice in writing to the Building superintendent prior to 4:00 P.M. in the case of services required on weekdays, prior to 4:00 P.M. on the Friday prior in the case of after hours service recurred on weekends or on holiday Mondays or prior to 4:00 P.M. on the day prior in the case of after hours service recurred on other holidays or weekends following Fridays which are holidays, Landlord shall furnish such service and Tenant shall pay to Landlord upon demand as Additional Charges hereunder Landlord’s then established charges therefor. As of the date hereof, Landlord’s standard rate charged to other tenants in the Building is $600.00 per floor per hour and, except as otherwise provided below in this subsection 15.04(a), requires a four (4) hour minimum and a four (4) floor minimum. Such charge shall be subject to increase in proportion to increases in Landlord’s actual costs to provide same provided however if Landlord charges a future tenant in the Building a lesser rate for the overtime heat or air-conditioning services, then provided Tenant shall agree to be obligated to utilize the same or more overtime heat or air-conditioning services utilized by such future tenant, such charge charged to Tenant shall then and thereafter be reduced to such lesser charge charged to such future tenant. If any other tenant or tenants of the Building in the same zone as Tenant request overtime air-conditioning or heating for any period for which Tenant has requested such service pursuant to the provisions of this subsection 15.04(a), then the Landlord’s charge for overtime HVAC, as set forth above, shall be prorated among Tenant and such other tenant or tenants, as the case may be. Notwithstanding the generality of the foregoing, any request for overtime HVAC service to commence at 6:00 P.M. on any Business Day shall not require or be subject to a “minimum” with respect to hours, but shall still require a four (4) floor minimum. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Tenant shall be entitled to receive overtime HVAC without being required to pay any Additional Charges therefor on up to twelve (12) occasions (each such occasion being of a duration of four (4) hours and applying with respect to four (4) floors in the Premises) during each calendar year to occur during the term of this Lease (prorated on the basis of one (1) such occasion per month with respect to any partial calendar year to occur during the term of this Lease). Each such four (4) continuous hour period is
