8H. For purposes of this Clause No. 8H.
(i) | the term “Switchboard Discount” shall mean, at any point in time: (x) the amount by which (1) the amount that Tenant would be required to pay for NYS Switchboard Electric hereunder based upon the Standard Electric Rates (the “Switchboard Pre-Discount Amount”) exceeds (2) the amount actually paid by Tenant for NYS Switchboard Electric after taking into account any savings passed along to Tenant by Landlord pursuant to the terms hereof (e.g., as the result of the LMEP or the BIR) and any savings realized by Tenant as the result of its exercise, pursuant to the terms hereof, of its option to obtain low-cost power from the New York Power Authority (“PASNY Power”), divided by (y) the Switchboard Pre-Discount Amount. Thus, for example at any such time that Tenant may be paying $52.50 for an amount of NYS Switchboard Electric for which Tenant would be required to pay $100 at the Switchboard Pre-Discount Amount, the Switchboard Discount would be 47.5%, |
(ii) | the term “HVAC” Discount shall mean, at any point in time: (x) the amount by which (1) the amount that Tenant would be required to pay for Submetered HVAC Electric (exclusive of the electricity consumed by the pumps located in the tenth (10th) floor mechanical equipment room servicing the perimeter induction unit HVAC Plant [the “Perimeter Pumps”] and the fan located in the tenth (10th) floor mechanical equipment room servicing the perimeter induction unit HVAC Plant [the “Perimeter Fan”]) hereunder based upon the Standard Eclectic Rates (the “HVAC Pre-Discount Amount”) exceeds (2) the amount actually paid by Tenant for Submetered HVAC Electric (exclusive of the electricity consumed by the Perimeter Pumps and the Perimeter Fan) after taking into account any savings passed along to Tenant by Landlord pursuant to the terms hereof (e.g., as the result of the LMEP or the BIR) and any savings realized by Tenant as the result of its exercise, pursuant to the terms hereof, of its option to obtain PASNY Power, divided by (y) the HVAC Pre-Discount Amount. Thus for example, at any such time that Tenant may be paying $60.00 for an amount of Submetered HVAC Electric (exclusive of the electricity consumed by the Perimeter Pumps and the Perimeter Fan) for which Tenant would be required to pay $100 at the HVAC Pre-Discount Amount, the HVAC Discount would be 40%; |
(iii) | the term “Aggregate Discount” shall mean, at any point in time: (x) the amount by which (1) the amount that Tenant would be required to pay for both NYS Switchboard Electric and Submetered Submetered HVAC Electric (exclusive of the electricity consumed by the Perimeter Pumps and the Perimeter Fan) hereunder based upon the Standard Electric Rates |
Page 11
(the “Aggregate Pre-Discount Amount”) exceeds (2) the amount actually paid by Tenant for such NYS Switchboard Electric and Submetered HVAC Electric (exclusive of the electricity consumed by the Perimeter Pumps and the Perimeter Fan) after taking into account any savings passed along to Tenant by Landlord pursuant to the terms hereof (e.g., as the result of the LMEP or the BIR) and any savings realized by Tenant as the result of this exercise, pursuant to the terms hereof, of its option to obtain PASNY Power, divided by (y) the Aggregate Pre-Discount Amount. Thus, for example, at any such time that Tenant may be paying an aggregate amount of $112.50 for an aggregate amount of NYS Switchboard Electric and Submetered HVAC Electric (exclusive of the electricity consumed by the Perimeter Pumps and the Perimeter Fan) for which Tenant would be required to pay $200 at the Aggregate Pre-Discount Amount, the Aggregate Discount would be 43.75%;
(iv) | the term “Cumulative Discount” shall mean, at any point in time: (x) the amount by which (1) the total amount that Tenant would have been required to pay hereunder for NYS Switchboard Electric and Submetered HVAC Electric (exclusive of the electricity consumed by the Perimeter Pumps and the Perimeter Fan), in the aggregate, from the Commencement Date through and including such point in time, based upon the Standard Electric Rates ( the “Cumulative Pre-Discount Amount”) exceeds (2) the aggregate amount actually paid by Tenant for all of such NYS Switchboard Electric and Submetered HVAC Electric (exclusive of the electricity consumed by the Perimeter Pumps and the Perimeter Fan) after taking into account any savings passed along to Tenant by Landlord pursuant to the terms hereof (e.g., as a result of the LMEP or the BIR) and any savings realized by Tenant as the result of its exercise, pursuant to the terms hereof, of its option to obtain PASNY Power (the “Cumulative Actual Amount”), divided by (y) the Cumulative Pre-Discount Amount; and |
(v) | the term “Cumulative Savings To Date” shall mean at any point in time the amount by which (1) the Cumulative Pre-Discount Amount exceeds (2) the Cumulative Actual Amount. |
In the event that at any time Tenant could receive a discount on NYS Switchboard Electric in excess of the Switchboard Discount by electing to obtain PASNY Power, then Tenant shall have the right, to be exercised in writing, to require Landlord to permit Tenant to enter into an arrangement to obtain PASNY Power through direct metering, utilizing the House Meter, of all NYS Switchboard Electric.

Landlord may provide such security in the form of guards, pass keys, electronic surveillance systems, or otherwise, as Landlord shall elect in its sole discretion. The provision of such security services shall not constitute a representation or warranty by Landlord that the Demised Premises or the Building shall at all times be safe or secure and shall not render Landlord liable for any loss of or damage to any property, or for any injury to any person, except as may otherwise be set forth expressly in this Lease.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord, at Tenant’s written request, will provide cleaning to the Fist Floor Office and Storage Space at Tenant’s sole cost and expense which, shall be payable as Additional Rent hereunder.
PEST MANAGEMENT
12B. Landlord shall implement and maintain its cost an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program for Tenant’s Cleaning/Security/HVAC Envelope; provided, however, that the cost of such program with respect to the NYS Street Level Space and any kitchens or cafeterias (other than coffee stations normal in size and number) in the Demised Premises shall be at Tenant’s expense. The portion of the cost incurred by Landlord for such IPM within the Demised Premises is hereafter referred to, for purposes of Clause No. 41 hereof, as “Landlord’s Demised Premises IPM Cost.” The program shall provide for an overall plan which minimizes the use of toxic pesticides, and provides for an on-going practical least toxic approach to preventing and/or treating pest infestation. It should provide for technical training for Landlord’s employees directly involved in IPM, establish and inspection program to identify infested zones, type of infestation, and their pest population levels, and detail procedures to be implemented should a pest infestation problem develop.
Landlord shall initially employ nonchemical means to eliminate pest infestation localizing treatment whenever necessary to defined affected area, using baits and traps rather than traditional chemical applications. At a minimum, semi-annual inspections (spring and fall) shall be conducted by Landlord or Landlord’s contactor to identify and correct structural conditions allowing pests access (interior and exterior cracks, openings, crevices and ledges, etc.) The preventative measures of this program shall include controls to ensure proper cleaning/maintenance, handling and disposal of food and organic waste products, and reviews of environmental conditions or practices of Tenant which increase the potential of pest problems.
Applications of pesticides should be avoided unless subsequent inspection or monitoring indicates the continued presence of pests in a specific area after non-chemical means have been exhausted or have been found to be ineffective. An actual specimen or recent sign of the pest must be confirmed before pesticides are applied. The least toxic pesticide, of the pesticides available to treat a specific problem, shall be selected. All pesticides used must be registered with the United States Environmental Protection Agency and appropriate state and/or local jurisdictions and use of all pesticides shall be in strict accordance with the manufacturer’s label instructions and all applicable federal, state, and local laws and regulations.
Landlord and each Tenant agency shall each designate an on-site liaison to review and coordinate necessary IPM activities. Each tenant agency shall be given an opportunity to review, and reasonable time to comment on the content and coordinate with the schedule of events specified in the IPM program. This opportunity will be provided through notification from Landlord prior to the implementation of the IMP plan. Pesticide treatment(s), when necessary, shall be scheduled for late Friday afternoons or evenings unless alternative times for such treatment applications are scheduled by mutual agreement with Tenant IPM liaisons. Each Tenant agency shall be notified of the location(s) of planned pesticide and herbicide treatments 24 hours prior to chemical application(s). Landlord shall furnish Tenant IPM liaisons with Material Safety Date Sheets
Page 21
(MSDSs) for all pesticides and herbicides in use and pending use prior to any use within Tenant’s Cleaning/Security/HVAC Envelope.
REPAIRS
13A. Landlord shall at its own cost and expense throughout the term of this Lease, take good care of, and maintain in good working order and condition, the Demised Premises and the common areas of the Building affecting the Demised Premises and the fixtures and appurtenances therein (excluding Tenant’s Property [as defined in Clause No. 16E below]), including, without limitation, the windows of the Building and the vertical and horizontal portions of the Base Building Systems, except that Landlord shall have no responsibility to make any repairs required as a result of (i) the acts of any agents, licensees, contractors, or any person claiming by, through or under Tenant or (ii) the acts of the Tenant or its employees; all of which repairs to the demised Premises of the Building (whether ordinary or extraordinary, structural or no-structural or foreseen or unforeseen) shall be the responsibility of the Tenant, which responsibility shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall have no responsibility to repaint any walls or replace any wall coverings or to replace or repair any carpeting, floor tiles or other floor coverings to the extent that the need for any such repainting, replacement of results from “ordinary wear and tear” form Tenant’s use of the Demised Premises. Subject to the last paragraph of this Clause No. 13A, Tenant shall promptly make at Tenant’s expense, all repairs in and to the Demised Premises for which Tenant is responsible in a manner which will not interfere with the use of the Building by other occupants, and using only the contractor for the trade or trades in question, selected from a list of at least three (3) contractors per trade submitted by Landlord, except with respect to the life-safety system of the Building where only (1) alternative may be listed for such purpose, provided, however, any repairs in or to the Building and/or the systems and equipment thereof for which Tenant is responsible shall be performed by Landlord at Tenant’s expense. Landlord shall repair and maintain, at Tenant’s cost and expense, the horizontal portions of the HVAC and plumbing systems if such repair is due to the negligence or mistreatment by Tenant or its employees, agents, contractors, licensees, or invitees, or if such repair is required as a result of any Tenant’s Changes or changes in the layout of the Demised Premises or changes in Tenant’s manner of use of the Demised Premises, and to the extent that such repair or maintenance is not caused by any of the foregoing items, the cost of such maintenance and repair shall be borne by Landlord and included in Operating Expenses. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Landlord shall not include in Operating Expenses any costs for maintaining and repairing for other tenants of the Building (i) horizontal portions of the Base Building Systems (including, without limitation, HVAC, plumbing and electric) and (ii) all non-structural items in the premises demised to such other tenants including, without limitation, tenant improvements, such as executive toilets, partitions and door locks (items(i) and (ii) being hereinafter collectively referred to as “Tenant Improvement Repairs”). Subject to the provisions hereof, Landlord shall perform Tenant Improvement Repairs in the Demised Premises and the cost thereof shall be included in Operating expenses in the manner set forth in the next to last paragraph of this Clause NO. 13A Tenant agrees to give prompt notice to Landlord of any defective condition in the Demised Premises, including the plumbing, heating, air –conditioning or ventilation system or electrical lines located in, servicing or passing through the Demised Premises, and except as otherwise expressly provided in this Lease, there shall no allowance to Tenant for diminution of rental value, and Tenant’s obligations hereunder shall not be reduced or abated in any manner whatsoever and Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant, by reason of any inconvenience, annoyance or injury to additions or improvements in or to any portion of the Building or the Demised Premises, or in and to the fixtures, appurtenances or equipment thereof, which Landlord is required or permitted this Lease or required by law, to make in or to same, and Landlord shall utilize its good faith efforts to minimize interference with Tenant’s business; provided, however, that Landlord shall not be obligated to perform such work on an overtime premium-pay basis. When used in this Lease, the term “repair” shall be deemed to include such restoration and replacement as may be necessary to achieve and/or maintain good working order and condition.
Page 22
The cost of Tenant Improvement Repairs performed by Landlord in the Demised Premises shall be “grossed up” to 100% as if such Tenant Improvement Repairs were provided to all tenants in the Building, including Tenant, at Landlord’s cost. The adjustment of Operating Expenses to be performed pursuant to the terms of the immediately preceding sentence shall be performed (i) as if such other tenants of the Building had the same installations and frequency of repair and maintenance as Tenant and (ii) only with respect to calendar years during which Landlord incurs actual costs for such repairs or maintenance performed in the Demised Premises. Thus, for example, if Landlord incurred $100 in a calendar year for repairs to an executive rest room of Tenant, the amount to be included in Operating Expenses for such calendar year for executive rest room repair would be $226 (i.e., $100 divided by Tenant’s Proportionate Share of 44.24%); provided, however that if Landlord incurred $600 in the same calendar year for repairs to an executive rest room of a tenant other than Tenant, the amount to be included in the Operating Expenses for such calendar year or years for executive rest room repair would be $0, even if Landlord incurred costs to repair executive rest room of other tenants. To the extent, if any, that the cost of Tenant Improvement Repairs performed by Landlord in the Demised Premises would be required to be capitalized under generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied, such costs shall be included in Operating Expenses as follows:
(i) | any individual cost of five thousand ($5000) dollars or less shall be expensed (i.e., included in full in the calendar year incurred); and |
(ii) | any individual cost exceeding five thousand ($5000) dollars shall be amortized or depreciated, as the case of may be, on a straight- line basis over the number of full calendar years remaining in the Term (including the calendar year in which such cost is incurred) without regard to the useful life of the item in question, together with simple interest on the unamortized portion thereof at a rate per annum equal to the Interest Rate in effect as of December 31 of the year in which such expenditure is made, and included in Operating Expenses until such cost has been fully amortized or depreciated (e.g., if a cost of $10,000 is incurred in the next to last full calendar year of the Term for an item with a six year useful life, such cost will be amortized over two years, rather than six years). |
For purposes of Clause No. 3C hereof, the term “Unamortized Tenant Improvement Repair Costs” shall mean the unamortized or undepreciated portion, if any, as of this time of the termination this Lease by Tenant pursuant to the terms of Clause No. 3 hereof, of any costs required to be amortized or depreciated pursuant to clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence.
It is understood and agreed by and between the parties hereto that in the case of any repairs for which Landlord is not responsible pursuant to the preceding paragraph or any other provisions of this Lease, Landlord agrees, if so requested by Tenant, to provide Tenant with estimates of the cost of any such repair, Upon approval of such estimate by Tenant (which approval shall be deemed given if not withheld within thirty (30) days), Landlord shall promptly proceed with such repairs. Payment by Tenant to Landlord shall be made within thirty (30) days of completion of such repairs and upon submission of a written invoice therefore. Except in the case of an emergency, Landlord shall also notify Tenant advance in writing before making any single Tenant Improvement Repair that Landlord anticipates will cost in excess of $10,000, and such written notice shall include Landlord’s estimate and Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree upon a revised estimate, Tenant shall promptly make such Tenant Improvement Repair at Tenant’s sole cost and expense.

COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS
13b. Except as hereinafter provided, Landlord shall, throughout the term of the Lease, make any alterations, repairs, or improvements to the Demised Premises or Tenant’s Cleaning/Security/HVAC Envelope that are required by “Legal Requirements” (as hereinafter defined). Tenant agrees that it will not use the Demised Premises or Tenant’s Cleaning/Security/HVAC Envelope for any purpose or in any manner which shall be violative of Legal Requirements and shall give prompt notice to Landlord of nay notice it receives of the violation of any Legal Requirements with respect to the Demised Premises or Tenant’s Cleaning/Security/HVAC Envelope or the use of occupation thereof. Notwithstanding the first sentence of this Clause No. 13B, Tenant shall, at Tenant’s expense, company with all present and future Legal Requirements in respect of the Demised Premises and Cleaning/Security/HVAC Envelope and the use and occupation thereof, and the abatement of any nuisance caused by Tenant in, on or about the Demised Premises or Tenant’s Cleaning/Security/HVAC Envelope that does not require the performance of any alterations, repairs of improvements; provided, however, that Tenant shall be required to make alterations, repairs or improvements in or to the Demised Premises or Tenant’s Cleaning/Security/HVAC Envelope that are required by Legal Requirements if the need for such alterations, repairs are improvements arises from any of the following items: (i) Tenant’s particular manner of use of the Demised Premises (as opposed to mere use of the Demised Premises for administrative and executive offices), (ii) any cause or condition created by or at the instance created by or at the instance of Tenant, (iii) any improvement or improvements installed by or on behalf Tenant in the Demised Premises (including, without limitation, Tenant’s Work and Tenant’s Changes), or (iv) the breach of any of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, and Tenant shall pay all the costs, expenses, fines, penalties, and damages which may be imposed by a public authority upon Landlord or any holder of a Superior Lease or Superior Mortgage by reason of or arising out of Tenant’s failure to fully and promptly comply with and observe the provisions of this Clause No. 13B. In addition, Tenant shall, at Tenant’s expense, be responsible for any alterations, repairs or improvements necessary in order to comply with Legal Requirements affecting portions of the Building outside the Demised Premises if the need for such repairs or improvements arises from any of items (i) through (v) set forth in the immediately preceding sentence. Thus, for example, if a law of general applicability is passed that requires that every office building located in New York City must have a unisex handicap bathroom on each and every floor thereof, regardless of Tenant’s use of the Demised Premises, Landlord, at Landlord’s expense would be obligated to comply therewith; however, if a law is passed that requires at all entry doors to government premises must be mad of bullet-proof glass or metal, Tenant at Tenant’s expense, would be obligated to comply therewith because the need for such compliance would arise by reason of Tenant’s particular manner of use of the Demised Premises. With respect to any repairs or improvements which affect portions of the Building outside the Demised Premises or any Base Building Systems, including, without limitation the electrical, HVAC, plumbing or mechanical systems, for which Tenant is responsible pursuant to this Clause No. 13B, same shall be performed by Landlord at Tenant’s expense. Nothing contained herein shall be construed to make Tenant responsible for any alterations, repairs or improvements necessary in order to comply with Legal Requirements if the need for such compliance arises out of (i) the conversion of the Building to the condominium form of ownership or (ii) the delivery of the Demised Premises and the Tenant Work to Tenant in a condition that violates any then-current Legal Requirements.
As used herein “Legal Requirements” shall mean the requirements of every statue, law, ordinance, regulation, rule, requirement, order or directive, now or hereafter made by any Federal, state or local government or any department, political subdivision, bureau, agency, office or officer thereof, or any other government authority having jurisdiction, including the City of New York (a “Government Authority”) with respect to and applicable to (i) the Real Property and the Demised Premises and appurtenances thereto, and/or (ii) the condition, equipment, maintenance, use or occupation of the Demised Premises, including the making of an alteration or addition in or to any structure upon, connected with or appurtenant to the Demised Premises.

TO LET SIGNS
15. The Tenant shall permit the Landlord during the six (6) months next prior to the expiration of the Term to place the usual notices of “To Let” upon the exterior of the Demised Premises.

B. If the Building or the Demised Premises shall be partially or totally damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty (and if this Lease shall not be terminated as in this Clause No. 16 hereinafter provided), then (a) Landlord shall restore and rebuild the Building and the Demised Premises (excluding Tenant’s Property [as defined in Clause No. 16E below]) with reasonable dispatch after notice to it of the damage or destruction and the collection of the insurance proceeds attributable to such damage, and (b) Tenant shall repair or replace Tenant’s Property with reasonable dispatch after such damage or destruction provided, however that for so long as the Tenant hereunder is The People of the State of New York, Tenant shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to determine the timing of and the extent to which Tenant wishes to repair of State of New York, the proceeds of policies carried by Tenant pursuant to the provisions of Clause No. 52 hereof providing coverage for Tenant’s improvements and betterments and (ii) the amount, if any, by which the costs of repairing and restoring Tenant’s improvements and betterments as estimated by reputable contractor designated by Landlord exceeds the available insurance proceeds therefore. The amounts due in accordance with subparagraphs (i) and (ii) above shall be Additional Rent under this Lease and payable by Tenant to Landlord within thirty (30) days after being billed therefore. Any excess proceed of policies carried by Tenant pursuant to the provisions of Clause No. 52 hereof providing coverage for Tenant’s improvements and betterments remaining after Landlord completes its restoration and rebuilding of the Demised Premises shall be apportioned between Landlord Tenant in accordance with the provisions set forth in Clause No. 16I hereof.
C. If all or part of the Demised Premises shall be damaged or destroyed or rendered completely or partially untenantable on account of fire or other casualty, the Base Rent and the Additional Rent hereunder shall be abated inn the proportion that the untenantable are of the Demised Premises bears to the total fare of the Demised Premises (computed in accordance with the Standard of Measurement annexed hereto as Exhibit “L”, for the period from the date of damage or destruction to (i) the date the damage to the Demised Premises (exclusive of Tenant’s Property) shall be substantially repaired (provided, however, that if in Landlord’s judgment such repairs would have been substantially completed an earlier date but for Tenant’s acts or omissions,
Page 25
then the Demised Premises shall be deemed to have been repaired substantially on such earlier date and nay reduction or abatement shall cease)or (ii) if the Building and not the Demised Premises so damaged or destroyed, the date on which the Demised Premises shall be made tentable; provided, however, should Tenant or any of its subtenants reoccupy a portion of the Demised Premises for business purposes during the period the repair work is taking place and prior to date Additional Rent allocable to such reoccupied portion, based upon the proportion which the are of the reoccupied portion of the Demised Premises bears to the total area of the Demised Premises (computed in accordance with the Standard of Measurement annexed hereto as Exhibit “L”), shall be payable by Tenant from the date of such occupancy. Landlord will act in good faith to keep Tenant informed as to the progress of repairs to the Demised Premises and/or the Building, as the case may be, and to give Tenant reasonable advance notice of the date on which the Demised Premises are anticipated to be rendered tentable, taking info account the circumstances (e.g., date on which the Demised Premises will be rendered tenantable if the casualty in question results in damage that can be repaired in a relatively short period of time, such as thirty (30) days or less).
D. If (i) the Building shall be totally damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty, or if the Building shall be so damaged or destroyed by fire or the other casualty (whether or not the Demised Premises are damaged or destroyed) that its repair or restoration requires more than two hundred seven (270) days from the date of the casualty or the expenditure of more than forty (40%) percent of the full insurable value of the Building immediately prior to the casualty or (ii) if during the last two (2) years of the term of this Lease the Demised Premised shall be totally or substantially (i.e., for this purpose, more than twenty-five (25%) damaged percent) damaged or destroyed (as estimated in any such case by a reputable contractor, registered architect or licensed professional engineer designated by; Landlord), then in any such case Landlord may terminate this Lease giving Tenant notice to such effect within one hundred twenty (120) days after the date of the casualty (herein called “Landlord’s Notification Period”). For the purpose of Clause only, “ full insurable value” shall mean replacement cost less the cost footings, foundations and other structures below the street and first floors of the Building.
E. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord will not carry insurance on Tenant’s furniture and/or furnishings or fixtures or equipment, improvements or appurtenances removable by Tenant (hereinafter collectively referred to as “Tenant’s Property”) and agrees that Landlord will not be obligated to repair any damage thereto or replace the same, and Tenant agrees to look solely to its insurance (to the extent Tenant is required to carry same pursuant to Clause No. 52 hereof) for recovery of any damage to or loss of Tenant’s Property. If Tenant shall fail to maintain such insurance (to the extent Tenant is required to carry same pursuant to Clause No. 52 hereof) Landlord shall have the right to obtain insurance in Tenant’s name on Tenant’s Property and the cost thereof shall be Additional Rent hereunder and payable by Tenant to Landlord on demand. Notwithstanding anything to contrary in the immediately preceding sentence, Tenant hereby acknowledges and agrees that for so long as the Tenant hereunder is The People of the State of New York, Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, at any time at Landlord’s expense (which expense shall be includable in Operating Expenses), to purchase personal property insurance in Tenant’s name and there shall be any damage of any Tenant’s Property, Tenant will cooperate with the insurance company and prepare and submit appropriate claims and documentation in connection therewith.
F. Tenant hereby waives the provisions of Section 227 of the Real Property Law of the State of New York and agrees that the provisions of this Clause shall govern and control in lieu thereof.
G. (a) Subject to the provisions of subparagraph (b) of this Clause No. 16G, Tenant shall not be entitled to terminate this Lease and Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant 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 Clause No. 16. Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant 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 Clause No. 16. Landlord shall
Page 26
use reasonable efforts to make such repair or restoration promptly and in such manner as not unreasonably to interfere with Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Demised Premises, but Landlord shall not required do such repair or restoration work except during Regular Business Hours.
(b) In case of any fire or other casualty mentioned in this Clause No. 16: (i) in the event of a fire or other casualty which affects the Demised Premises and/or other portions of the Building, if Landlord shall not have substantially completed the making of the required repairs and resorted and rebuilt the Building and the Demised Premises within twenty-one (21) months from the date of such fire or other casualty in the event of a fire or other casualty which affects both the date of such fire or other casualty in the event of a fire of other casualty which affects the Demised Premises only, or (ii) if, in the reasonable estimation of a reputable independent contractor, registered architect or licensed professional engineer engaged by Landlord (a copy of fire or to the casualty and which shall be set forth the time period estimated to be required for substantially completing such repairs), the required repairs cannot be substantially completed with such twenty-one (21) month period or eighteen (18) month period, as the case may be or (y) in the case of clause (ii) above, the date on which Landlord furnished such estimate to Tenant, and in either case, if such notice is given, the term of this Lease shall terminate on the thirtieth (30th) day after Landlord’s receipt of such notice unless the Building and/or the Demised Premises, as the case may be, shall have been restored prior to the expiration of such thirty (30) day period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Clause No. 16G(b), if the above-referenced estimate of a reputable independent contractor, registered architect or licensed professional engineer indicated that the required repairs cannot be substantially completed within such twenty-one (21) month period or eighteen (18) month period, as the case may be, from the date of such fire or casualty, and right to terminate this Lease pursuant to clause (i) above, the twenty-one (21) month period or eighteen (18) month period described therein shall be deemed to be replaced by the time period set forth in such estimate, Thus for example, if the damage is restricted to the Demised Premises and the estimate indicates that it will take twenty (20) months to substantially repair such damage, unless Tenant exercises its right to terminate this Lease on the basis of such estimate, Landlord shall have twenty (20) months, rather than eighteen (18) months, to substantially repair such damage before Tenant shall have right to terminate pursuant to clause (i) above.
H. Landlord and Tenant each agree to use diligent efforts to cooperate with each other and with their respective insurers (to the extent that Tenant is required to carry insurance pursuant to the terms of this Lease) in order to facilitate the collection of all insurance proceeds (including, without limitation, rent insurance proceeds) applicable to damage and destruction of the Building or the Demised Premises by fire or other casualty.
I. In the event that this Lease is terminated pursuant to any provision of this Clause No. 16, Landlord shall be entitled to receive all proceeds of policies covering all improvements and betterments in the demised Premises. In the event that this Lease is not terminated pursuant to any provision of this Clause No. 16, then: (i) Tenant shall be entitled to receive any excess proceeds of policies covering improvements and betterments in the Demised Premises if Tenant is carrying and paying for the insurance on such improvements and betterments and (ii) Landlord shall be entitled to receive any excess proceeds of any policies covering improvements and betterments in the Demised Premises if the Landlord is carrying and paying or the insurance eon such improvements and betterments.

SET OFF
17A. Except as otherwise provided herein, so long as Tenant is not in default of any of these obligations hereunder, in the event Landlord refused or fails to make repairs or provide services for which it is responsible under the terms and conditions of this Lease the Tenant, upon thirty (30) days written notice [five (5) State business days in emergency cases] to the landlord (“Tenant’s Self-Help Notice”), shall have the right (“Tenant’s Self-Help Right”), but not the obligation, to make such repairs or provide such services after the expiration of such thirty (30) day or five (5) State business day period ( the “Self-Help Notice Period”), deducting all the costs incurred thereby from the rental which is or shall be owing Landlord. Notwithstanding foregoing, in the case of a default which cannot with due diligence be cured within thirty (30) days [five (5) State business days in emergency cases], if Landlord shall, after written notice thereof from Tenant, proceed promptly and with all due diligence to commence to cure the same and thereafter to prosecute the curing of such default with all due diligence, the time of Landlord within which to cure the same shall be extended for such period as may be necessary for the curing thereof with all due diligence. The provisions of this paragraph are in addition to, and not in lieu of, any and all rights and remedies available to Tenant pursuant to the provisions of this Lease, including, without limitation, the provisions of sub clause No. 68 hereof (Interruption of Services).
17B.
