NYISO, Connecting Transmission Owner and Developer must agree as to what constitutes Stand Alone System Upgrade Facilities and identify such Stand Alone System Upgrade Facilities in Appendix A hereto. Except for Stand Alone System Upgrade Facilities, Developer shall have no right to construct System Upgrade Facilities under this option.

Option to Expand On or before expiration of the sixth (6th) month of the term, Tenant shall be required to lease the remainder 3,942 square feet of Rentable Space on the third (3rd) floor, at the same rental rate then being paid for the initial Premises. In addition, Tenant will have the right to expand during the first 6 months by leasing the approximately 15,165 square feet of Rental Space on the fourth (4th) floor (the “4th Floor Space”) as identified on Exhibit “B-1” attached to this Lease and incorporated herein by reference at the same rental rate then being paid in the initial Premises; provided, however, Landlord will continue to keep the 4th Floor Space available for lease to Tenant for one additional period of three (3) months (a total of nine months following the commencement date), but if Tenant elects to lease the 4th Floor Space between the expiration of the sixth (6) month and commencement of the ninth (9th) month following commencement of the Lease, the rental rate shall be increased by twenty-five cents (.25¢) per square foot, and Tenant improvements dollars will decline on a pro rata basis based on the remaining length of the term. If the Tenant does not elect to lease the fourth (4th) floor space during the initial nine (9) months following commencement of the Lease, Tenant shall have the right of first refusal to lease the 4th Floor Space in the event that Landlord receives an offer to lease the space, and any such right of first refusal shall be on the exact terms received and approved by Landlord from a third party offering to lease the 4th Floor Space. Tenant shall have the option to lease at then current market rental rates any additional space which is available in 5,000 rsf increments consisting of the area which is available on the second (2nd) and fifth (5th) floors designated and referred to as the “Expansion Space”, at any time during the lease term (the “Effective Date”) and ending on the expiration of the Lease Term (unless sooner terminated pursuant to the terms of this Lease, and subject to any rights of extension contained in this Lease) by delivering written notice to Landlord, provided that at the time of such notice and on the Effective Date, no event of default, as defined in Paragraph 25 of this Lease, shall have occurred and remain uncured beyond any applicable cure period. Once Tenant shall exercise an expansion option, Tenant may not thereafter revoke such exercise. Tenant’s failure to timely exercise an expansion option for any reason whatsoever shall conclusively be deemed a waiver of such expansion option. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Tenant’s option shall be subject to a determination by Landlord, in Landlord’s discretion, that Tenant’s financial condition at the time it makes such election is sufficient to meet its financial obligation associated with the Offered Space.
SALE OF THE PREMISES In the event the Property is marketed to be sold by the Owner during the Term of this Agreement, the Agent: (check one)
Sale of Premises by Landlord In the event of any sale of the Building, Landlord shall be and is hereby entirely freed and relieved of all liability under any and all of its covenants and obligations contained in or derived from this Lease arising out of any act, occurrence or omission occurring after the consummation of such sale; and the purchaser, at such sale or any subsequent sale of the Premises shall be deemed, without any further agreement between the parties or their successors in interest or between the parties and any such purchaser, to have assumed and agreed to carry out any and all of the covenants and obligations of the Landlord under this Lease.
Lease of Premises Landlord hereby leases to Tenant and Tenant hereby leases from Landlord the Premises for the Term and upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.
Sale of Premises Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to the contrary, the sale of the Premises by Landlord shall not constitute Landlord’s acceptance of Tenant’s abandonment of the Premises or rejection of the Lease or in any way impair Landlord’s rights upon Tenant’s default, including, without limitation, Landlord’s right to damages.
Expansion of Premises (a) Effective as of the Expansion Date the Premises (and the definition of the “Premises”) shall be modified to mean and include both the Initial Premises and the Expansion Premises. As a result of such expansion, effective upon the Expansion Date, the deemed square footage of the Premises shall be and become 31,684 square feet and Tenant’s Prorata Share and Tenant’s Share of Expenses and Real Estate Taxes shall be one hundred percent (100.00%).
(b) If Landlord, for any reason whatsoever, cannot deliver possession of the Expansion Premises to Tenant on before August 1, 2012 for the purpose specified in Section 3(c), this Amendment shall not be void or voidable, Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any loss or damage resulting therefrom, and Tenant shall have no obligation to pay monthly Base Rent or Additional Charges with respect to the Expansion Premises until the day following the date on which possession of the Expansion Premises is delivered to Tenant (such date thereupon becoming the “Expansion Date” for purposes of this Amendment). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Landlord is unable to deliver the Expansion Premises by August 1, 2012 (as extended day-for-day for each day of Force Majeure Delay) (the “Expansion Premises Outside Delivery Date”), then Tenant shall have the right, as its sole remedy, to terminate this Amendment to Lease by providing written notice to Landlord within fifteen (15) business days following the Expansion Premises Outside Delivery Date, in which event the Lease shall continue in full force and effect as if the parties had not entered into this Amendment and Landlord shall promptly return to Tenant the August, 2012 Base Rent for the Expansion Premises paid by Tenant pursuant to the provisions of Section 6(d). For purposes hereof, the failure of the existing tenant of the Expansion Premises to vacate the Expansion Premises shall not be an event of Force Majeure Delay.
(c) Notwithstanding the above, Tenant shall be entitled to early occupancy of the Expansion Premises at any time after the Expansion Premises Delivery Date for the sole purposes of (1) installing Tenant’s furniture and telephone and other communications cabling and (2) performing Tenant’s Expansion Work (defined below), provided that (i) Tenant covenants and agrees that Tenant and Tenant’s employees, agents or contractors will cooperate with Landlord to coordinate the performance and completion of the Landlord’s Expansion Work concurrently with Tenant’s Expansion Work, (ii) Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant for delays in completing the Landlord’s Expansion Work which result from, are caused by or arise out of the interference by Tenant or Tenant’s employees, agents or contractors in the performance of the Landlord’s Expansion Work, (iii) Tenant and Tenant’s employees, agents and contractors shall promptly comply with any and all requests made by Landlord or Landlord’s contractor(s) that Tenant remove its property from those areas in or around which Landlord is performing the Landlord’s Expansion Work, and (iv) Landlord shall not be liable for, Tenant hereby waives all claims which Tenant may have against the Landlord Parties, and Tenant shall indemnify and hold harmless Landlord from and defend Landlord against any and all claims or liability for any injury or damage to any person or property in or about the Expansion Premises resulting from or arising out of or in connection with the performance of Tenant’s Expansion Work (except to the extent arising from the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord). Tenant’s early occupancy of the Expansion Premises for the sole purpose provided in this Section shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions of the Lease, provided that (x) the Premises shall not include the Expansion Premises until the Expansion Date, and (y) Tenant shall not be obligated to pay monthly Base Rent or Additional Charges with respect to the Expansion Premises for the period from the Expansion Premises Delivery Date until the Expansion Date.
(d) Within five (5) business days after the Expansion Date, the parties shall execute a letter confirming the Expansion Date and certifying that Tenant has accepted delivery of the Premises, in form substantially similar to EXHIBIT “D” attached to the Lease (the “Expansion Date Memorandum”). Either party’s failure to request execution of, or to execute, the Expansion Date Memorandum shall not in any way alter the Expansion Date.
