Each of the following shall constitute a Demolition Delay: (i) each day following the date hereof beyond which Tenant submits for Landlord’s approval its proposed demolition plan, (ii) each day consumed by Landlord’s review of Tenant’s demolition plan, Tenant’s preparation of a revised demolition plan if its initial demolition plan is disapproved, and Landlord’s review of any such revised demolition plan, and (iii) each day that Landlord is delayed due to the performance of a Selective Demolition as opposed to a complete demolition.

(iii) Provided that Tenant is not in default of any of the monetary or material non-monetary terms and conditions of the Lease, the 29th Floor Premises Work Credit and the 53rd Floor Premises Work Credit, respectively, shall be payable by Landlord to Tenant in installments as Tenant’s 29th Floor Premises Work and Tenant’s 53rd Floor Premises Work or other Alterations made by Tenant to the Premises, respectively, progresses; but in no event shall such installments be payable more frequently than monthly.

The aggregate amount of the retainages shall be paid by Landlord to Tenant upon completion of Tenant’s 29th Floor Premises Work or Tenant’s 53rd Floor Premises Work or such other Alterations made by Tenant to the Premises, as applicable, and upon receipt from Tenant of (i) a certificate signed by Tenant’s architect and an officer of Tenant certifying that Tenant’s 29th Floor Premises Work or Tenant’s 53rd Floor Premises Work or such other Alterations made by Tenant to the Premises, as

Any files to be delivered to Landlord by e-mail as set forth in clause (ii) of the preceding sentence shall be sent to: Xxxxxx.Xxxx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that the amount of the 53rd Floor Premises Work Credit has been calculated on the assumption that Landlord will not be required to pay any portion thereof to Tenant prior to February 1, 2014. Nonetheless, Tenant shall be entitled to draw upon the 53rd Floor Premises Work Credit from time to time in accordance with the terms hereof at any time following the date hereof, up to the then net present value (calculated
with an 7% discount factor, compounded monthly) of (x) with respect to the first such draw, the 53rd Floor Premises Work Credit and (y) with respect to subsequent draws, the “Allowance Balance” (as such term is defined below) in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Section 7(b). If Tenant elects to draw upon the 53rd Floor Premises Work Credit, Tenant shall submit such draw request to Landlord in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7(b) (the date on which such request is paid by Landlord is hereinafter called the “Draw Date”) indicating the amount requested by Tenant less the retainage that Landlord is permitted to withhold (hereinafter called the “Draw Request Amount”). As of the Draw Date, the Draw Request Amount shall be converted to its equivalent dollar amount as of February 1, 2014 by applying a future value rate of 7% per annum compounded monthly (each such converted amount being hereinafter called the “2014 Converted Draw Amount”). Landlord shall pay the Draw Request Amount (or, if the Draw Request Amount exceeds the net present value of the Allowance Balance, the net present value of the Allowance Balance), and the 53rd Floor Premises Work Credit shall thereupon be reduced by the applicable 2014 Converted Draw Amount (following each such reduction, the remaining portion of the 53rd Floor Premises Work Credit, if any, shall be hereinafter called the “Allowance Balance”). Commencing on February 1, 2014, Tenant shall be entitled to draw up to the actual dollar amount of the Allowance Balance without first converting the Draw Request Amount to a 2014 Converted Draw Amount.
(iv) At any and all times during the progress of Tenant’s 29th Floor Premises Work or Tenant’s 53rd Floor Premises Work, representatives of Landlord shall
have the right of access to the 29th Floor Premises and the 53rd Floor Premises, as applicable, and inspection thereof and Landlord shall have the right to withhold payment of any portion of the 29th Floor Premises Work Credit or 53rd Floor Premises Work Credit representing the reasonably estimated cost of any such work not being performed in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Landlord; provided, however, that Landlord shall incur no liability, obligation or responsibility to Tenant or any third party by reason of such access and inspection.
(v) The 29th Floor Premises Work Credit and the 53rd Floor Premises Work Credit are being given for the benefit of the Named Tenant, any successor to the Named Tenant by merger, acquisition, reorganization or sale of substantially all of the assets of the Named Tenant, and any Affiliate of the Named Tenant to which the Lease may be assigned. No other third party shall be permitted to make any claims against Landlord or Tenant with respect to any portion of the 29th Floor Premises Work Credit or the 53rd Floor Premises Work Credit.

property manager (the “Service Provider”). If Tenant is subject to a charge under the Lease for any such service, then, at Landlord’s direction, Tenant will pay such charge either to Landlord for further payment to the Service Provider or directly to the Service Provider, and, in either case, (i) Landlord will credit such payment against any charge for such service made by Landlord to Tenant under the Lease, and (ii) such payment to the Service Provider will not relieve Landlord from any obligation under the Lease concerning the provisions of such service.

RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER
ARTICLE 41
Right of First Offer
41.01. (a) Provided and on condition that (i) following the date hereof, Landlord shall have entered into a lease with respect to the Offering Space, (ii) Tenant is not in monetary or material non-monetary default under the terms and conditions of this lease either as of the date of the giving of “Tenant’s Acceptance Notice” or the “Offering Space Inclusion Date” (as such terms are hereinafter defined), which requirement Landlord may waive in its sole and absolute discretion, (iii) the Named Tenant shall, as of the Offering Space Inclusion Date and the date on which Tenant accepts Landlord’s offer, be in actual occupancy of not less than seventy-five (75%) percent of the rentable square foot area of the Premises (provided, however, that such occupancy requirement may be waived by Landlord at any time in its sole discretion), and (iv) as of the Offering Space Inclusion Date, there shall be not less than five (5) years remaining in the term of this lease (as such term may have been extended if Tenant has exercised the extension option set forth in Paragraph 8 of the Eighth Lease Modification Agreement prior to or simultaneously with the giving of Tenant’s Acceptance Notice), then if at any time during the term of this lease, but following the initial leasing thereof by Landlord following the date hereof, the balance of the twenty-ninth (29th) floor of the Building or any portion thereof (the “Offering Space”) shall become available for leasing to anyone other than the current tenant or occupant thereof (or any affiliate, assignee or subtenant of same) (each of such entities being hereinafter called an “Existing Tenant”), then Landlord, subject to the provisions of Section 41.07 hereof, and subject to the rights of any Existing Tenant of any portion of the Offering Space to extend the term of its lease with respect thereto (regardless of whether such election is made pursuant to any provision included within such tenant’s lease), shall offer to Tenant the right to include such Offering Space within the Premises upon all the terms and conditions of this lease (other than any provision of this lease providing for a work allowance, or any landlord work, free rent period or any other tenant concession, or any terms and conditions of this lease which are clearly intended to apply to portions of the Premises other than the Offering Space), except that:
(i) The Fixed Rent with respect to such Offering Space shall be at a rate equal to the fair market rent for such Offering Space, which shall be determined by Landlord as of the date of the giving of the Offer Notice (as hereinafter defined) and shall be set forth in a written notice to Tenant. For purposes of determining the fair market rent for the Offering Space, the determination shall take into account all then relevant factors;
(ii) Effective as of the Offering Space Inclusion Date, for purposes of calculating Tenant’s Operating Payments and Tenant’s Tax Payments attributable to the
Offering Space, (x) the Base Operating Year shall be the calendar year in which occurs the Offering Space Inclusion Date, (y) the Base Tax Amount shall be the Taxes, as finally determined, for the last complete Tax Year ending immediately prior to the occurrence of the Offering Space Inclusion Date, and (z) Tenant’s Share attributable to the Offering Space shall be deemed to be the fraction, expressed as a percentage, the numerator of which shall be the number of rentable square feet included within the Offering Space in question, and the denominator of which shall be the number of rentable square feet included within the Building, based on Landlord’s then-current standards of measurement.
(b) Such offer pursuant to this Article 41 shall be made by Landlord to Tenant in a written notice (herein called the “Offer Notice”), which offer shall designate the space being offered and shall specify the Fixed Rent payable with respect to such Offering Space, determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 41.01(a) hereof, and the anticipated Offering Space Inclusion Date as reasonably estimated by Landlord in good faith; provided, however, that if Landlord’s Offer Notice is given more than six (6) months prior to the anticipated Offering Space Inclusion Date, then (i) Landlord’s Offer Notice shall not specify Landlord’s determination of the Fixed Rent with respect to the Offering Space which is the subject of such Offer Notice and (ii) Landlord shall give Tenant a separate notice (the “Offering Rent Notice”) specifying Landlord’s determination of the Fixed Rent for such Offering Space not sooner than six (6) months and not later than three (3) months prior to the anticipated Offering Space Inclusion Date.
41.02. (a) Tenant may accept the offer set forth in the Offer Notice by delivering to Landlord an unconditional acceptance in writing (herein called “Tenant’s Acceptance Notice”) of such offer within ten (10) days after delivery by Landlord of the Offer Notice to Tenant. Such Offering Space covered by such Offer Notice shall be added to and included in the Premises on the later to occur of (i) the day that Tenant exercises its option as aforesaid, or (ii) the date such Offering Space shall become available for Tenant’s possession (herein called the “Offering Space Inclusion Date”). Time shall be of the essence with respect to the giving of Tenant’s Acceptance Notice.
(b) If Tenant does not accept (or fails to timely accept) an offer made by Landlord pursuant to the provisions of this Article 41 with respect to any Offering Space, then Landlord shall be under no further obligation with respect to such Offering Space by reason of this Article 41, and Tenant shall have forever waived and relinquished its right to such Offering Space, and Landlord shall at any and all times thereafter be entitled to lease such Offering Space to others at such rental and upon such terms and conditions as Landlord in its sole discretion may desire whether such rental terms, provisions and conditions are the same as those offered to Tenant or more or less favorable, and Tenant shall, within five (5) days after Landlord’s request therefor, deliver an instrument in form reasonably satisfactory to Landlord confirming the aforesaid waiver, but no such instrument shall be necessary to make the provisions hereof effective.
41.03. If any Offering Space shall not be available for Tenant’s occupancy on the anticipated Offering Space Inclusion Date set forth in the Offer Notice for any reason including, but not limited to, the holding over of the prior tenant, then Landlord and Tenant agree that the failure to have such Offering Space available for occupancy by Tenant shall in no way affect the validity of this lease or the inclusion of such Offering Space in the Premises or the obligations of Landlord or Tenant hereunder, nor shall the same be construed in any way to extend the term of this lease, and for the purpose of this Article 41 the Offering Space Inclusion Date shall be deferred to and shall be the date such Offering Space is available for Tenant’s occupancy unleased and free of tenants or other occupants. The provisions of this Section 41.03 are intended to constitute “an express provision to the contrary” within the meaning of Section 223-a of the New York Real Property Law.
41.04. In the event that Tenant gives a Tenant’s Acceptance Notice in accordance with the provisions of Section 41.02(a) hereof and Tenant disputes the fair market rent of the Offering Space as determined by Landlord pursuant to Section 41.01(a)(i) hereof, then at any time on or before the date occurring thirty (30) days after Tenant has received the Offer Notice, Tenant may initiate the arbitration process provided for in Section 36.02 hereof, and such provisions shall apply to the determination of the fair market rent for the Offering Space, except to the extent that such provisions are clearly inapplicable (e.g., the caveat contained in the last two (2) lines of Section 36.02(a)). If Tenant fails to initiate the arbitration process within such thirty (30) day period, time being of the essence, then Landlord’s determination of the fair market rent set forth in the Offer Notice shall be conclusive and binding on Tenant. In the event Tenant initiates the aforesaid arbitration process and, as of the Offering Space Inclusion Date, the amount of the fair market rent for the Offering Space has not been determined, Tenant shall pay the amount determined by Landlord to be the fair market rent for the Offering Space and when the determination has actually been made, an appropriate retroactive adjustment shall be made as of the Offering Space Inclusion Date, if necessary. In the event that such determination shall result in an overpayment by Tenant of any Fixed Rent, such overpayment shall be paid by Landlord to Tenant promptly after such determination (and if such determination shall result in an underpayment by Tenant of any Fixed Rent, Tenant shall pay any such amounts to Landlord promptly following such determination).
41.05. Tenant agrees to accept any Offering Space in its condition and state of repair existing as of the Offering Space Inclusion Date and understands and agrees that Landlord shall not be required to perform any work, supply any materials or incur any expense to prepare such space for Tenant’s occupancy. Tenant shall prepare any Offering Space included in the Premises for Tenant’s occupancy, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, and in accordance with all of the terms and conditions of this lease including the provisions of Article 11 hereof, except that Tenant shall receive no work allowance with respect to any Offering Space.
41.06. The termination of this lease during the term of this lease shall also terminate and render void all of Tenant’s options or elections under this Article 41 whether or not the same shall have been exercised; and nothing contained in this Article 41 shall prevent Landlord from exercising any right or action granted to or reserved by Landlord in this lease to terminate this lease. None of Tenant’s options or elections set forth in this Article 41 may be severed from this lease or separately sold, assigned or transferred.
41.07. Notwithstanding any language to the contrary contained in this Article 41, Tenant hereby acknowledges and agrees that its right to lease any Offering Space pursuant to the terms and provisions of this Article 41 shall be subject and subordinate to (i) any rights granted by Landlord with respect to all or any portion of the Offering Space as of the date hereof to any other tenant of the Building by way of option, right of first offer, right of first refusal or otherwise and (ii) any Existing Tenant’s election to extend the term of its lease (without regard to whether such tenant has any rights with respect to the Offering Space contained in its lease). To the best of Landlord’s knowledge, no rights of the nature described in clause (i) of the immediately preceding sentence are in force or effect as of the date hereof.
41.08. Notwithstanding any language to the contrary contained in this lease, Landlord and Tenant agree that the rights contained in this Article 41 are for the sole benefit of the Named Tenant and Landlord shall not be obligated to make any offer described in this Article 41 to any person or entity other than the Named Tenant, nor shall any person or entity other than the Named Tenant (or Landlord or Landlord’s designee if Landlord or its designee shall receive an assignment of this lease pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.07 hereof) be entitled to exercise any right granted by this Article 41.
