Section 2.1 Lease of Premises. Subject to the terms of this Lease, Landlord leases to Tenant and Tenant leases from Landlord the Premises for the Term. In addition, Landlord grants to Tenant the right to use, on a non-exclusive basis and in common with other tenants, the Common Areas. The lease of the Premises to Tenant includes the right, at no additional cost or expense to Tenant, but with notice and coordination with Landlord’s property manager, to access the mechanical rooms, telephone rooms and electrical closets located in the Building to the extent reasonably necessary (but without removing or otherwise disturbing any Base Building Systems or equipment located therein) in order for Tenant or any Tenant Party to use the Premises for the Permitted Use.
Section 2.2 Commencement Date.
(a) From and after the Effective Date, the terms and provisions of this Lease shall be fully binding on Landlord and Tenant, including prior to the occurrence of the Commencement Date.
(b) If Landlord does not tender possession of the Premises or any portion thereof to Tenant on any specified date, for any reason whatsoever, this Lease shall not be void or voidable as a result thereof, Landlord shall not be liable for any damage thereby caused, such failure shall not affect any other obligations of Tenant hereunder (except as expressly provided in this Section, in the definition of the Commencement Date and in Section 4.3), and the Term shall not commence until Landlord tenders possession of the Premises to Tenant. There shall be no postponement of the Commencement Date and/or the Rent Commencement Date for (i) any delay in the tender of possession to Tenant which results from any Tenant Delay or (ii) any delays by Landlord in the performance of any punch list items related to Landlord’s Work.
-8-
(c) Once the Rent Commencement Date has been determined, Landlord shall prepare and the parties shall join in a memorandum confirming the Commencement Date, the Rent Commencement Date, the Fixed Rent, the amount of Landlord’s Contribution, Tenant’s Proportionate Share, the Area of the Premises, the Area of the Building and the Expiration Date. Pending the execution of such memorandum, each of said items shall be as specified in the Basic Lease Provisions. Landlord’s failure to deliver the foregoing memorandum shall not affect the determination of any of such dates or amounts. If Tenant fails to give Landlord written notice that Tenant contests Landlord’s determination of any information contained in the memorandum within thirty (30) days after Tenant receives such commencement notice, Landlord shall deliver Tenant an additional notice regarding the Landlord’s determination of the Commencement Date, which notice must state “SECOND AND FINAL REQUEST” in 12 font bold print at the top of the first page of the notice. If Tenant fails to give Landlord written notice that Tenant contests Landlord’s determination within five (5) Business Days of receipt of the second notice, then Tenant shall be deemed to have accepted such determination(s).
Section 2.3 Payment of Rent. Tenant shall pay to Landlord at Landlord’s Address for Payment, or at such other place as Landlord shall designate in writing from time to time, without notice or demand, and except as may be expressly set forth in this Lease, without any set-off, counterclaim, abatement or deduction whatsoever, in lawful money of the United States (i) Fixed Rent in equal monthly installments, in advance, on the first (1st) business day of each month during the Term, beginning on the Rent Commencement Date, and (ii) Additional Rent, at the times and in the manner set forth in this Lease.
Section 2.4 First Month’s Rent. Tenant shall pay one month’s Fixed Rent upon the execution of this Lease (“Advance Rent”). If the Rent Commencement Date is on the first (1st) day of a month, the Advance Rent shall be credited towards the first (1st) month’s Fixed Rent payment. If the Rent Commencement Date is not the first (1st) day of a month, then on the Rent Commencement Date Tenant shall pay Fixed Rent for the period from the Rent Commencement Date through the last day of such month, and the Advance Rent shall be credited towards Fixed Rent for the next succeeding calendar month.
Section 2.5 Area of Premises and Building. Landlord and Tenant agree that the Area of the Premises and the Area of the Building set forth in Article 1 shall be conclusive and binding on both parties regardless of any measurement of the Premises and/or of the Building after the Effective Date.
Section 2.6 Access. To the extent Landlord provides Tenant access to any portion of the Premises prior to the Commencement Date, Tenant shall be bound by and comply with all of the terms of this Lease other than the obligation to pay Fixed Rent, Tenant’s Tax Payment and Tenant’s Operating Payment, it being agreed that Tenant shall have no other obligation to pay any other early access charge or fee in connection with such early access. Landlord shall waive any special charges for Tenant’s move-in or relocation from the Building other than Landlord’s actual costs incurred in connection with the same, without markup or profit (e.g., overtime security or engineer costs if the move-in occurs outside of Business Hours).

USE AND OCCUPANCY; PARKING
Section 3.1 Permitted Uses. Tenant shall not use or occupy the Premises for any purpose other than for the Permitted Uses. Tenant shall not use or occupy or permit the use or occupancy of any part of the Premises in a manner constituting a Prohibited Use. Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, shall procure and at all times maintain and comply with the terms and conditions of all licenses and permits required for the lawful conduct of the Permitted Uses in the Premises.
Section 3.2 Parking Facility.
(a) Except as set forth in this Lease to the contrary, Landlord shall arrange for and cause the Parking Allocation to be available to Tenant throughout the Term.
(b) Within sixty (60) days after the Rent Commencement Date Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing of Tenant’s desire to obtain all or a specified number of the Parking Allocation and Tenant shall enter into commercially reasonable parking contracts with the Parking Facility tenant or operator (as applicable, the “Operator”). To the extent that Tenant fails to execute monthly parking contracts for any portion of the Parking Allocation within the aforementioned period or if Tenant subsequently fails to continuously maintain any such parking contracts, Tenant shall be deemed to have relinquished Tenant’s right to such parking contracts. However, Tenant shall have the right to commence using or to recapture, as applicable, upon sixty (60) days’ notice, any unused or relinquished parking contracts on an as available basis, with Tenant afforded priority over parties not a tenant in the Building at the time of such notice.
(c) Landlord shall provide, or shall cause the Operator to provide, 24-hour access to the Parking Facility for each of Tenant’s parking contracts.
(d) Unless directed in writing by Landlord to the contrary, Tenant shall be directly responsible to the Operator for the payment of any and all fees or charges due in connection with the parking contracts; it being agreed that: (i) such fees shall be comparable to those payable in Comparable Buildings; and (ii) as of the date hereof, the cost of unreserved parking is $165.00 per space and the cost of reserved parking is $320.00 per space.
(e) Tenant acknowledges that Landlord or the Operator may temporarily relocate, or specifically designate the location of, Tenant’s parking spaces from time to time as a result of an emergency, scheduled repairs or casualty at the Building, provided that such relocation or designation shall remain in effect only for such period as may reasonably be required in order to complete restoration of, or repair to, the Parking Facility. Tenant agrees that it and its employees shall observe reasonable safety precautions in the use of the Parking Facility and, to the extent that not less than thirty (30) days written notice thereof has been provided to Tenant (or such shorter period as might be reasonable under the circumstances), shall at all times abide by all reasonable rules and regulations promulgated by Landlord or Operator governing the use of the Parking Facility; it being agreed that in the event of any conflict between said rules and regulations and the terms and conditions of this Lease, the terms and conditions of this Lease
-10-
shall prevail. Landlord does not assume any responsibility for any damage or loss to any automobiles parked in the Parking Facility or to any personal property located therein, or for any injury sustained by any person in or about the Parking Facility. Except in connection with a permitted assignment of this Lease or a permitted sublease of the Premises or a portion thereof or the use of parking by Tenant’s customers, clients, visitors, employees and other business invitees, neither Tenant nor any Tenant employee nor any other party claiming by, through or under Tenant shall assign, sublet, license or otherwise transfer or allow the use of any of Tenant’s parking rights under this Lease.
(f) Unless otherwise required by Landlord or the Operator, Tenant’s parking rights shall be for non-reserved parking permits; provided, however, fifteen (15) parking spaces of Tenant’s Parking Allocation shall be reserved spaces at the Parking Facility (the “Reserved Spaces”) of which five (5) Reserved Spaces shall be at the location shown on Exhibit G-Premium Reserved Spaces. Landlord reserves the right to require that a portion of Tenant’s Parking Allocation (other than the Reserved Spaces) be for tandem, stacked, valet and such other parking arrangements as Landlord or the Operator shall from time to time deem reasonably necessary for the Parking Facility.
(g) At all times during the Term, as same may be extended, promptly following Tenant’s notice to Landlord of a violation of Tenant’s reserved parking or other rights under this Section 3.2, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts (including towing as required) to diligently enforce the parking provisions of other tenants’ leases and to enforce Tenant’s rights under this Section 3.2.

(a) Landlord shall be in default under this Lease if Landlord fails to perform any of its repair and/or maintenance obligations under this Lease and such failure continues for more than thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from Tenant to Landlord specifying the particulars of such failure (or if such failure cannot reasonably be rectified or cured within such thirty (30) day period, then such failure shall be deemed to be rectified or cured if Landlord, within such thirty (30) day period, shall have commenced such cure and shall continue thereafter with due diligence to cause such cure to be completed).
(b)(i) If a Landlord default occurs beyond any applicable notice and cure period set forth in Section 6.4(a) above and such failure materially impairs Tenant’s use and enjoyment of the Premises (a “Landlord Failure”), Tenant, as Tenant’s sole remedy, may thereafter give Landlord and Landlord’s Mortgagee(s) a ten (10) Business Day written notice stating Tenant intends to exercise Tenant’s self-help right which notice must state in bold print in 12 font or larger “SECOND AND FINAL REQUEST” at the top of the first page of the written notice and if Landlord and/or Landlord’s Mortgagee fail to commence to cure such Landlord Failure during such ten (10) Business Day period and thereafter diligently pursue such cure to completion, Tenant shall have the right to proceed to cure such Landlord Failure and deliver an invoice to Landlord for the reasonable and actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Tenant therefor. Landlord shall pay to Tenant the amount of such invoice within thirty (30) days after delivery by Tenant. If Landlord fails to timely pay such invoice, such unpaid amount shall accrue interest at the Interest Rate until paid. In addition, if Landlord fails to timely pay such invoice, Tenant, as Tenant’s sole remedy, shall have the right to offset (“Self-Help Offset Right”) the amount of such invoice (plus interest as provided above) against Fixed Rent, Tenant’s Operating Payment and Tenant’s Tax Payment due from time to time under this Lease; provided, however, in no event shall Tenant deduct an amount in excess of twenty-five percent (25%) of the Fixed Rent, Tenant’s Operating Payment and Tenant’s Tax Payment due for any applicable month. The amount of such invoice, when paid by Landlord (or offset as aforesaid), shall be included within Operating Expenses, to the extent such costs and expenses are included within the definition of Operating Expenses. If Tenant proceeds to cure such Landlord Failure and such cure will affect the Base Building Systems, any Building warranty and/or the Building structure, Tenant shall use only those contractors designated by Landlord for such work (provided that Landlord so designates such contractors within five (5) business days of Tenant’s request therefor). Tenant shall indemnify, defend, protect and hold Landlord harmless from and against any and all Losses incurred by Landlord to the extent arising as a result of Tenant’s performance of any such cure, including, without limitation, claims made by other occupants of the Building that Tenant’s performance of such work interfered with their occupancy of space in the Building. The foregoing notwithstanding, if Tenant has not been fully reimbursed for the offset amounts, Landlord will have right to reimburse Tenant for the offset amounts or any portion thereof by paying Tenant the unapplied offset amounts. If Tenant exercises Tenant’s Self-Help Offset Right, Tenant shall notify Landlord of such exercise (including the offset amount) in writing within five (5) Business Days prior to such exercise.
-19-
(ii) If Tenant exercises Tenant’s self-help right set forth in Section 6.4(b)(i), Tenant shall (A) proceed in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Section 6.4(b) and all applicable Requirements and Rules and Regulations; (B) use only such contractors, suppliers, etc. as are duly licensed in the Commonwealth of Virginia and insured to effect such repairs and who perform such repairs in first class buildings in the normal course of their business; (C) use new materials; and (D) make reasonable efforts to minimize any material interference or impact on the other tenants and occupants of the Building.
(iii) Tenant’s rights under this Section 6.4(b) shall terminate if at any time the Area of the Premises is less than 50,000 rentable square feet.
(iv) In the event of a casualty or a Taking, Tenant’s rights under this Section 6.4(b) shall not apply.
ARTICLE 7
TAXES AND OPERATING EXPENSES
Section 7.1 Definitions.
(a) “Assessed Valuation” shall mean the amount for which the Project is assessed by any applicable Governmental Authority for the purpose of imposition of Taxes.
(b) “Base Operating Expenses” shall mean the Operating Expenses for the Base Year.
(c) “Base Taxes” shall mean the Taxes payable on account of the Base Year.
(d) “Calendar Year” shall mean each calendar year, all or any portion of which falls during the Term.
(e) “Comparison Year” shall mean any Calendar Year commencing subsequent to the Base Year.
(f) “Operating Expenses” inclusions and exclusions shall be consistent with operating expense inclusions and exclusions for Comparable Buildings (subject to adjustment for any Project-specific matters and subject to the express terms of this Lease) and shall be computed net of rebates, credits, discounts, or other reimbursements taken or received by Landlord. Subject to the exclusions set forth below, Operating Expenses shall mean the aggregate of all reasonable costs and expenses paid or incurred by or on behalf of Landlord in connection with the ownership, operation, repair and maintenance of the Project, including, but not limited to, the following:
(i) costs of any capital improvement incurred after the Base Year only if such capital improvement either (A) is reasonably intended to result in a reduction in Operating Expenses (e.g., a labor-saving improvement) provided the amount included in
-20-
Operating Expenses in any Comparison Year shall not exceed an amount equal to the savings reasonably determined or anticipated by Landlord to result from the installation and operation of such improvement, and/or (B) is made during any Comparison Year to comply with Requirements, exclusive of any costs incurred to remedy any Requirements violation existing on the Commencement Date. Such capital improvements shall be amortized (with interest at the Base Rate) on a straight-line basis over such period as Landlord shall reasonably determine in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (US) (“GAAP”) as such principles are generally applied in the real estate industry, consistently applied during the Term, taking into consideration the anticipated useful life of such improvements, and the amount included in Operating Expenses in any Comparison Year shall be equal to the annual amortized amount;
(ii) costs of maintaining and operating (including the reasonable rental value thereof, but not for more than 2,500 square feet of rentable area) the management and engineering offices, if any, for the Building;
(iii) costs incurred by Landlord in establishing, equipping, maintaining, repairing and operating (including the reasonable rental value thereof) any Building amenities or services intended by Landlord for the general benefit of tenants of the Building such as any concierge service (whether located at the Building or made available to Building tenants from an off-site location);
(iv) costs of maintaining the sidewalks, landscaping and other improvements adjacent to the Project including, without limitation, costs of cleaning, removing snow and spreading salt; feeding trees; removing trash from tree boxes; and adding mulch to tree boxes;
(v) costs incurred for Parking Facility utilities, elevators, insurance, cleaning, restriping, HVAC and security;
(vi) electricity, water and other utility costs;
(vii) costs of all insurance (including any terrorism insurance) maintained by Landlord in connection with the Project and/or Landlord’s equipment, fixtures and personal property used in connection therewith; and
(viii) a property management fee in the amount of three percent (3%) of gross rents and revenues received by Landlord from the Project (including, without limitation, Operating Expense and Tax pass-throughs and reimbursements) and all items reimbursable to the Building property manager pursuant to any management contract for the Building.
Except as might be expressly set forth in this Lease to the contrary, Operating Expenses shall be calculated in accordance with customary practices employed by other comparable owners of Comparable Buildings. Landlord shall not seek to capture more than 100% of Operating Expenses. Operating Expenses shall not include any Excluded Expenses.
If during all or part of the Base Year or any Comparison Year, Landlord does not furnish any particular item of work or service (which would otherwise constitute an Operating Expense) to any leasable portion of the Building and the costs of such item constitutes an Operating
-21-
Expense and the cost varies with the Building’s occupancy level or if any tenant of the Building does not normally use a specific Building area or improvement (e.g., a first (1st) floor retail tenant with an exterior premises entrance door does not normally use the Building’s passenger elevators), then, for purposes of computing Operating Expenses for such period, the amount included in Operating Expenses for such period shall be increased by an amount equal to the costs that Landlord reasonably determines would have been incurred during such period if Landlord had furnished such item of work or service to such portion of the Building or if all tenants of the Building had normally used such Building area or improvement; provided, however, if the result of such computation would be to have Landlord expenditures for such items included in Tenant’s Operating Payment exceed the actual cost of such items, then the foregoing amount shall be reduced by such excess. In determining the amount of Operating Expenses for the Base Year or any Comparison Year, if less than ninety-five percent (95%) of the Building rentable area is occupied by tenants at any time during the Base Year or any such Comparison Year, then Operating Expenses which vary with occupancy shall be determined for the Base Year or such Comparison Year to be an amount equal to the like expenses which would normally be expected to be incurred had such occupancy been ninety-five percent (95%) throughout the Base Year or such Comparison Year; provided, however, if the result of such computation would be to have Landlord’s expenditure recoveries for such items exceed the actual cost of such items, then the foregoing amount shall be reduced by such excess. The adjustment required pursuant to this paragraph shall not be construed to permit Landlord to recover from Tenant Additional Rent pursuant to Section 7.3 which, when added to the total amount of additional rent payable (assuming that such parties actually paid all amounts required to be paid by such parties under their leases, without regard to any abatements provided thereunder) by all tenants of the Building on account of Operating Expenses for such year will exceed the actual amount of Operating Expenses incurred by Landlord for such year.
To the extent that the Building shares facilities and/or services with other buildings (the “Shared Expenses”), Operating Expenses shall include the portion of all costs, expenses and disbursements relating to such shared facilities and services as Landlord reasonably allocates to the Building provided that if such expenses were incurred solely at or in connection with the Building, such expenses would otherwise constitute Operating Expenses hereunder. For example, if the property management office for the Building were located in another office building containing the same rentable area as the Building and such management office also serves as the property management office for such other building, Operating Expenses for the Building would include Landlord’s reasonable allocation to the Building of the cost of maintaining and operating (including the reasonable rental value thereof, but not for more than the rentable area permitted above) the management offices at such other building. In addition, to the extent that personnel costs for personnel performing services to other properties of Landlord or its management agent, such costs shall be appropriately allocated among all such other properties based upon time spent or based upon the relative rentable areas of the Building and such other properties, as Landlord shall reasonably determine.
(g) “Statement” shall mean a statement setting forth in reasonable detail a comparison of (i) the Base Taxes and the Taxes for an applicable Comparison Year, together with the amount of Tenant’s Tax Payment for such Comparison Year, which Statement will contain a copy of the applicable assessment or tax xxxx, or (ii) the Base Operating Expenses and the Operating Expenses payable for any Comparison Year including without limitation an explanation of any Shared Expenses and the basis upon which such Shared Expenses have been reasonably allocated, together with the amount of Tenant’s Operating Payment for such Comparison Year.
-22-
(h) “Taxes” shall mean (i) all real estate taxes, assessments, sewer and water rents, Business Improvement District assessments and charges and all other governmental levies, impositions or charges, whether general, special, ordinary, extraordinary, foreseen or unforeseen, which may be assessed, levied or imposed upon all or any part of the Project or in connection with the use thereof (including any transit, personal property, sales, rental, use, gross receipts, or occupancy taxes, vault rental (on vaults used to locate utilities as opposed to parking or other rent or revenue generating areas) and other taxes and assessments), and (ii) all reasonable expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements and experts’ and other witnesses’ fees) incurred in contesting any of the foregoing or the Assessed Valuation of the Project (but such expenses will not be included in Base Taxes if incurred during the Base Year). Taxes shall not include (u) interest or penalties incurred by Landlord as a result of Landlord’s late payment of Taxes, (v) franchise, transfer, gift, inheritance, estate, excess profits or net income taxes imposed upon Landlord, (w) any cost or expense that is duplicative of any cost or expense included in Operating Expenses, (x) any taxes imposed in connection with personal property owned, leased, or used by Tenant or any other tenant or other occupant of the Project, (y) [intentionally omitted] or (z) deed transfer, transfer of economic interests or recordation taxes. For purposes hereof, “Taxes” for any Calendar Year shall be deemed to be the Taxes which are assessed, levied or imposed for such Calendar Year regardless of when due or paid. If any Taxes are assessed on a fiscal year (rather than a Calendar Year), Landlord shall have the right to equitably allocate such Taxes on a Calendar Year basis. If Landlord elects to pay any assessment in annual installments, then (i) such assessment shall be deemed to have been so divided and to be payable in the maximum number of installments permitted by law, and (ii) there shall be deemed included in Taxes for each Comparison Year the installments of such assessment becoming payable during such Comparison Year, together with interest payable during such Comparison Year on such installments and on all installments thereafter becoming due as provided by law, all as if such assessment had been so divided. If at any time the methods of taxation prevailing on the Effective Date shall be altered so that in lieu of or as an addition to the whole or any part of Taxes, there shall be assessed, levied or imposed (1) a tax, assessment, levy, imposition or charge based on the gross rents received from the Project whether or not wholly or partially as a capital levy or otherwise, (2) a tax, assessment, levy, imposition or charge measured by or based in whole or in part upon all or any part of the Project and imposed upon Landlord, (3) a license fee measured by the rents, or (4) any other tax, assessment, levy, imposition, charge or license fee however described or imposed, including business improvement district impositions and business, professional and occupational license fees, then all such taxes, assessments, levies, impositions, charges or license fees or the part thereof so measured or based shall be deemed to be Taxes. Taxes shall be computed after consideration of any reduction obtained applicable to periods during the Lease Term, and Tenant shall be entitled to a refund for its proportionate share of such refund (including any interest therein) less its proportionate share of the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Landlord in obtaining such a refund (to the extent not previously included within Taxes). Landlord’s obligation to reimburse Tenant for any such refund shall survive the termination or expiration of this Lease
-23-
Section 7.2 Tenant’s Tax Payment.
(a) If the Taxes payable for any Comparison Year exceed the Base Taxes, Tenant shall pay to Landlord Tenant’s Proportionate Share of such excess (“Tenant’s Tax Payment”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have no obligation to pay Tenant’s Tax Payment until the Rent Commencement Date (i.e., Tenant shall not be responsible for any Tenant’s Tax Payment for any period preceding the Rent Commencement Date). For each Comparison Year, Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a written statement setting forth Landlord’s reasonable estimate of Tenant’s Tax Payment for such Comparison Year (the “Tax Estimate”). Tenant shall pay to Landlord on the first (1st) day of each month during such Comparison Year an amount equal to 1/12 of the Tax Estimate for such Comparison Year. If Landlord furnishes a Tax Estimate for a Comparison Year subsequent to the commencement thereof, then (i) until the first (1st) day of the month following the month in which the Tax Estimate is furnished to Tenant, Tenant shall pay to Landlord on the first (1st) day of each month an amount equal to the monthly sum payable by Tenant to Landlord under this Section during the last month of the preceding Comparison Year, (ii) promptly after the Tax Estimate is furnished to Tenant or together therewith, Landlord shall give notice to Tenant stating whether the installments of Tenant’s Tax Estimate previously made for such Comparison Year were greater or less than the installments of Tenant’s Tax Estimate to be made for such Comparison Year in accordance with the Tax Estimate, and (x) if there shall be a deficiency, Tenant shall pay the amount thereof within thirty (30) days after demand therefor, or (y) if there shall have been an overpayment, Landlord shall credit the amount thereof against subsequent payments of Rent due hereunder or, if received after the expiration or sooner termination of the Term, promptly pay such amount to Tenant, and (iii) on the first (1st) day of the month following the month in which the Tax Estimate is furnished to Tenant, and on the first (1st) day of each month thereafter throughout the remainder of such Comparison Year, Tenant shall pay to Landlord an amount equal to 1/12 of the Tax Estimate.
(b) As soon as reasonably practicable after Landlord has determined the Taxes for a Comparison Year, Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a Statement for such Comparison Year. If the Statement shows that the sums paid by Tenant under Section 7.2(a) exceeded the actual amount of Tenant’s Tax Payment for such Comparison Year, Landlord shall credit the amount of such excess against subsequent payments of Rent due hereunder or, if the Term has expired, Landlord shall promptly pay such amount to Tenant (net of any sums then owed by Tenant to Landlord). If the Statement for such Comparison Year shows that the sums so paid by Tenant were less than Tenant’s Tax Payment for such Comparison Year, Tenant shall pay the amount of such deficiency within thirty (30) days after delivery of the Statement to Tenant.
(c) Only Landlord may institute proceedings to reduce the Assessed Valuation of the Project and the filings of any such proceeding by Tenant without Landlord’s consent shall constitute an Event of Default. If the Taxes payable for the Base Year are reduced, the Base Taxes shall be correspondingly revised, the Additional Rent previously paid or payable on account of Tenant’s Tax Payment hereunder for all Comparison Years shall be recomputed on the basis of such reduction, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord within thirty (30) days after being billed therefor, any deficiency between the amount of such Additional Rent previously computed and paid by Tenant to Landlord, and the amount due as a result of such recomputations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will any reduction of Taxes received during the Base Year which relate to a period preceding the Base Year reduce the Taxes incurred during the Base Year. If Landlord receives a refund of Taxes for any Comparison Year, Landlord shall credit
-24-
against subsequent payments of Rent due hereunder, an amount equal to Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the refund, or, if received after the expiration or sooner termination of the Term, promptly pay such amount to Tenant net of any reasonable expenses incurred by Landlord in achieving such refund (to the extent not previously included within Taxes), which amount shall not exceed Tenant’s Tax Payment paid for such Comparison Year or, if the Term has expired, Landlord shall promptly pay such amount to Tenant (net of any sums then owed by Tenant to Landlord). Landlord shall not be obligated to file any application or institute any proceeding seeking a reduction in Taxes or the Assessed Valuation. The benefit of any exemption or abatement relating to all or any part of the Project shall accrue solely to the benefit of Landlord and Taxes shall be computed without taking into account any such exemption or abatement.
(d) Tenant shall be responsible for any applicable occupancy or rent tax now in effect or hereafter enacted and, if such tax is payable by Landlord, Tenant shall promptly pay such amounts to Landlord, upon Landlord’s demand recognizing that to avoid duplication, any such occupancy or rent tax, if collected by Landlord under this subsection, shall not be included in the computation of Tenant’s Tax Payment.
(e) Tenant shall be obligated to make Tenant’s Tax Payment regardless of whether Tenant may be exempt from the payment of any Taxes as the result of any reduction, abatement or exemption from Taxes granted or agreed to by any Governmental Authority, or by reason of Tenant’s diplomatic or other tax-exempt status.
Section 7.3 Tenant’s Operating Payment.
(a) If the Operating Expenses payable for any Comparison Year exceed the Base Operating Expenses, Tenant shall pay to Landlord Tenant’s Proportionate Share of such excess (“Tenant’s Operating Payment”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have no obligation to pay Tenant’s Operating Payment until the Rent Commencement Date (i.e., Tenant shall not be responsible for any Tenant’s Tax Payment for any period preceding the Rent Commencement Date). For each Comparison Year, Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a written statement setting forth Landlord’s reasonable estimate of Tenant’s Operating Payment for such Comparison Year (the “Expense Estimate”). Tenant shall pay to Landlord on the first (1st) day of each month during such Comparison Year an amount equal to 1/12 of the Expense Estimate. If Landlord furnishes an Expense Estimate for a Comparison Year subsequent to the commencement thereof, then (i) until the first (1st) day of the month following the month in which the Expense Estimate is furnished to Tenant, Tenant shall pay to Landlord on the first (1st) day of each month an amount equal to the monthly sum payable by Tenant to Landlord under this Section during the last month of the preceding Comparison Year, (ii) promptly after the Expense Estimate is furnished to Tenant or together therewith, Landlord shall give notice to Tenant stating whether the installments of Tenant’s Operating Payment previously made for such Comparison Year were greater or less than the installments of Tenant’s Operating Payment to be made for such Comparison Year in accordance with the Expense Estimate, and (x) if there shall be a deficiency, Tenant shall pay the amount thereof within thirty (30) days after demand therefor, or (y) if there shall have been an overpayment, Landlord shall credit the amount thereof against subsequent payments of Rent due hereunder, or, if received after the expiration or sooner termination of the Term, promptly pay such amount to Tenant, and (iii) on the first (1st) day of the month following the month in which the Expense Estimate is furnished to Tenant, and on the
-25-
first (1st) day of each month thereafter throughout the remainder of such Comparison Year, Tenant shall pay to Landlord an amount equal to 1/12 of Tenant’s Operating Payment shown on the Expense Estimate.
(b) On or before July 1st of each Comparison Year, Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a Statement for the immediately preceding Comparison Year. If the Statement shows that the sums paid by Tenant under Section 7.3(a) exceeded the actual amount of Tenant’s Operating Payment for such Comparison Year, Landlord shall credit the amount of such excess against subsequent payments of Rent due hereunder or, if the Term has expired, Landlord shall promptly pay such amount to Tenant (net of any sums then owed by Tenant to Landlord). If the Statement shows that the sums so paid by Tenant were less than Tenant’s Operating Payment for such Comparison Year, Tenant shall pay the amount of such deficiency within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s receipt of the Statement.
Section 7.4 Non-Waiver; Disputes.
(a) Landlord’s failure to render any Statement on a timely basis with respect to any Comparison Year shall not prejudice Landlord’s right to thereafter render a Statement with respect to such Comparison Year or any subsequent Comparison Year, nor shall the rendering of a Statement prejudice Landlord’s right to thereafter render a corrected Statement for that Comparison Year, provided that in all events Landlord shall provide a Statement to Tenant no later than twenty-four (24) months after the end of the Calendar Year for which such Statement is rendered. The foregoing notwithstanding, there shall be no limit on the time during which Landlord must provide Tenant with written notice of a supplemental invoice with respect to any Contested Cost; provided, however, that Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to diligently pursue the resolution of any such Contested Cost. A “Contested Cost” means any Operating Expenses, Taxes and charges for Excess Electrical Usage: (i) that Landlord contests during such twenty-four (24) month period and/or (ii) for which Landlord did not receive an invoice prior to the expiration of such twenty-four (24) month period.
(b) Landlord shall maintain reasonably full and complete records of the actual Operating Expenses and Taxes in accordance with GAAP and good commercial practice. Each Statement sent to Tenant shall be conclusively binding upon Tenant unless (i) Tenant pays to Landlord when due the amount set forth in such Statement, without prejudice to Tenant’s right to dispute such Statement, and (ii) within one hundred eighty (180) days after such Statement is received by Tenant, Tenant sends a notice to Landlord requesting a review of Landlord’s books and records applicable to such Statement, in which case Tenant and its accountants or other reputable representative shall have the right to review Landlord’s books and records applicable to such Statement. With respect to each Statement, Landlord will maintain its applicable books and records for a period of at least three (3) years after such Statement is delivered to Tenant and thereafter during the pendency of any review thereof by Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with Tenant’s initial audit of any Statement, Tenant shall also be entitled to audit the Operating Expenses for the Base Year. If Tenant timely disputes a Statement, Tenant shall be permitted to audit the books and records relating to the Statement, and if Tenant shall discover as a result of such audit a discrepancy in excess of five percent (5%) in any category of Operating Expenses, Tenant shall also be entitled to audit the same category of Operating Expenses for one (1) year immediately preceding the year for which
-26-
Tenant’s audit was performed (but not prior thereto regardless of the results of any audit pertaining to such additional year). Tenant shall have the right to copy from the books and records invoices and documents which state amounts included in the Statement. Tenant agrees that Tenant will not employ, in connection with any dispute under this Lease with respect to a Statement, any person or entity who is to be compensated in whole or in part, on a contingency fee basis. If Tenant timely objects to a Statement and the parties do not resolve any dispute as to the correctness of such Statement within thirty (30) days following such notice of objection, either party may refer the issues raised to a consultant specializing in such reconciliations or a regionally recognized public accounting firm selected by Landlord and Tenant, and the decision of such consultant or accountants shall be conclusively binding upon Landlord and Tenant. In connection therewith, Tenant, such accountants and all other persons to whom Tenant gives any of the information obtained in connection with such review shall execute and deliver to Landlord a confidentiality agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, whereby such parties agree not to disclose to any third party any of the information obtained in connection with such review. Tenant shall pay the fees and expenses relating to such procedure, unless such accountants determine that Landlord overstated Operating Expenses by more than four percent (4%) for such Comparison Year, in which case Landlord shall pay such fees and expenses of the accounting firm selected by Landlord and Tenant as set forth above together with the reasonable out-of-pocket third-party costs of Tenant’s audit. If it is finally determined that Landlord overcharged Tenant, Landlord shall reimburse Tenant the amount of the overcharge (including also any overcharge for the prior periods audited by Tenant) within thirty (30) days from such determination.
Section 7.5 Proration. If the Rent Commencement Date is not January 1st, Tenant’s Tax Payment and Tenant’s Operating Payment for the applicable Calendar Year shall be apportioned on the basis of the number of days in the year from the Rent Commencement Date to the following December 31. If the Expiration Date occurs on a date other than December 31st, Tenant’s Tax Payment and Tenant’s Operating Payment for the Calendar Year in which such Expiration Date occurs shall be apportioned on the basis of the number of days in the period from January 1st to the Expiration Date. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, any Additional Rent under this Article shall be adjusted or paid within thirty (30) days after submission of the Statement for the last Calendar Year.
Section 7.6 No Reduction in Rent. If Operating Expenses or Taxes for any Comparison Year are less than the Base Operating Expenses or the Base Taxes (as applicable), such occurrence shall not entitle Tenant to a refund or any other payment nor shall it result in a reduction in the Rent payable under this Lease.
Section 7.7 Cap on Controllables.
(a) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, for purposes of calculating Operating Expenses, Controllable Expenses for any calendar year after the Base Year shall be deemed not to have exceeded the Cap. The “Cap” means, for each year after the Base Year, 106% of the Controllable Expenses incurred during the Base Year, compounded annually for each calendar year (or partial calendar year) after the Base Year. The foregoing notwithstanding, to the extent that the Controllable Expenses for any year exceed the Cap, the excess may be included in Controllable Expenses in any future year(s) to the extent that the Controllable Expenses incurred during such future year(s) are less than the Cap.
-27-
(b) “Controllable Expenses” means all Operating Expenses except for: (A) insurance premiums; (B) utility costs; (C) costs incurred for ice and snow removal; (D) property management fees (which shall be subject to the limitations set forth in Section 7.1(f)(viii)); and (E) excess labor and/or materials costs incurred in connection with unionized labor (e.g, the difference between the cost of non-union and union labor).
ARTICLE 8
REQUIREMENTS OF LAW
Section 8.1 Compliance with Requirements.
(a)(i) Subject to the provisions of Sections 6.1 and 6.2 regarding repairs, Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, shall comply with all Requirements applicable to the Premises; provided, however, Tenant shall not be obligated to comply with any (x) Requirements requiring any alterations within the Premises resulting by reason of the failure of the Building or any component thereof to comply with Requirements as of the Delivery Date, or (y) Requirements requiring any structural alterations to the Building or to any of the Base Building Systems unless the application of such Requirements arises from (A) the specific manner and nature of Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises, as distinct from general office use, (B) Alterations made by Tenant, or (C) a breach by Tenant of any provisions of this Lease. Any such repairs or alterations shall be made at Tenant’s expense (1) by Tenant in compliance with Article 5 if such repairs or alterations are nonstructural and do not affect any Base Building System, or (2) by Landlord if such repairs or alterations are structural or affect any Base Building System. If either Landlord or Tenant obtains knowledge of any failure to comply with any Requirements applicable to the Premises, such party shall give the other prompt notice thereof.
(ii) Except as set forth above in Section 8.1(a)(i) with respect to the Premises, Tenant shall not be obligated to comply with any Requirements requiring any alterations to the Building unless the application of such Requirements arises from (A) Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises other than for normal office use (including a normal number of Tenant employees, normal office equipment, etc.), (B) Alterations made by Tenant, or (C) a breach by Tenant of any provisions of this Lease. Any such repairs or alterations shall be made at Tenant’s expense by Landlord.
(b) Tenant shall not cause or knowingly permit (i) any Hazardous Materials to be brought onto the Project by any Tenant Party, (ii) the storage or use of Hazardous Materials by a Tenant Party in any manner other than in full compliance with any Requirements, or (iii) the escape, disposal or release of any Hazardous Materials within or in the vicinity of the Building by any Tenant Party. Nothing herein shall be deemed to prevent Tenant’s use of any Hazardous Materials customarily used in the ordinary course of office work or in the construction of leasehold improvements, but only during the period of Tenant’s performance of the initial Tenant Improvements and any Alterations; provided that, in either such case, such use is in accordance with all Requirements. Tenant shall be responsible, at Tenant’s expense, for all matters directly or indirectly based on, or arising or resulting from the presence of Hazardous Materials at the
-28-
Project which is caused or permitted by a Tenant Party. Tenant shall provide to Landlord copies of all communications received by Tenant with respect to any Requirements relating to Hazardous Materials, and/or any claims made in connection therewith. Landlord or its agents may, at its sole cost and expense (unless a violation of this Section is found to have occurred, in which case, at Tenant’s expense), perform environmental inspections of the Premises at any time upon reasonable prior notice (or without notice if Landlord believes an emergency exists).
(c) Landlord shall comply with (or cause to be complied with) all Requirements applicable to the Project which are not the obligation of Tenant as expressly set forth herein and which are not the obligation of any other tenant of the Building (except to the extent such non-compliance by such other tenants materially and adversely affects Tenant or its rights under this Lease). Landlord agrees in connection with such compliance to use commercially reasonable efforts not to interfere with the conduct of business operations at the Premises by Tenant or any Tenant Party. Landlord represents that, as of the date hereof, Landlord has not received any notice of any violation of any Requirement that remains uncured and that, to its actual knowledge as of the Effective Date, neither the Land nor any other portion of the Project or Building contains any Hazardous Materials in violation of Environmental Laws.
(d) Tenant shall not cause or knowingly permit any action or condition that would (i) invalidate or conflict with Landlord’s insurance policies, (ii) violate applicable rules, regulations and guidelines of the Fire Department or be inconsistent with the requirements of any of the issuers of such policies or any other authority having jurisdiction over the Building, (iii) cause an increase in the premiums of fire insurance for the Building over that payable with respect to Comparable Buildings, or (iv) result in Landlord’s insurance companies’ refusing to insure the Building or any property therein in amounts and against risks as reasonably determined by Landlord. If fire insurance premiums increase as a result of Tenant’s failure to comply with the provisions of this Section, Tenant shall promptly cure such failure and shall reimburse Landlord for the increased fire insurance premiums paid by Landlord as a result of such failure by Tenant.
Section 8.2 Fire and Life Safety. Unless resulting by reason of the failure of such systems to comply with applicable Requirements as of the Delivery Date, any modifications to the Building fire alarm and life safety systems required by Tenant or completed as part of any Alterations shall be at Tenant’s expense, subject to the application of Landlord’s Contribution pursuant to the terms of the Exhibit C-Work Agreement. If the Fire Insurance Rating Organization or any Governmental Authority or any of Landlord’s insurers requires any modifications and/or alterations be made or any additional equipment be supplied in connection with the sprinkler system or fire alarm and life-safety system serving the Building by reason of Tenant’s use of the Premises or any portion thereof for purposes other than for the Permitted Use, any Alterations performed by Tenant or the location of the partitions, Tenant’s Property, or other contents of the Premises, Landlord (to the extent outside of the Premises) or Tenant (to the extent within the Premises) shall make such modifications and/or Alterations, and supply such additional equipment, in either case at Tenant’s expense. For the avoidance of doubt, except to the extent expressly set forth above, it shall be Landlord’s responsibility to ensure that the Common Areas of the Building shall at all times be in full compliance with all Requirements pertaining to life and safety matters.

(a) Except as set forth herein, this Lease is subject and subordinate to all Mortgages and Superior Leases, and, at the request of any Mortgagee or Lessor, Tenant shall attorn to such Mortgagee or Lessor, its successors in interest or any purchaser in a foreclosure sale. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver to Tenant a subordination, nondisturbance and attornment agreement from Landlord’s current and all future Mortgagees and Lessors on each such Mortgagee’s or Lessor’s standard form, which form shall be in a commercially reasonable form and which form shall be modified to address any Lease-specific provisions as such Mortgagee or Lessor might reasonably require (an “SNDA”). With respect to any future Mortgagee(s) and Lessor(s), such subordination shall not be effective until an SNDA has been executed by the Mortgagee or the Lessor (as applicable) and delivered to Tenant. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that Landlord is required to obtain Landlord’s current Mortgagee’s approval of this Lease (“Lender Approval”) and promptly after the Effective Date, Landlord will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain Lender Approval. If Lender Approval has not been obtained for any reason and/or Landlord has not delivered an SNDA from Landlord’s current Mortgagee (the “Current SNDA”) to Tenant within thirty (30) days after the Effective Date (the “SNDA Period”), Landlord and Tenant shall each have the right to terminate this Lease by delivering fifteen (15) days prior written notice to the other party within the fifteen (15) day period immediately following the SNDA Period; provided, however, if Tenant terminates this Lease as aforesaid and if Landlord obtains Lender Approval and/or the Current SNDA, as applicable, prior to the expiration of such fifteen (15) day termination period, Tenant’s termination notice shall be deemed null and void. If this Lease is not terminated by Landlord or Tenant as aforesaid, Landlord’s obligation to obtain the Current SNDA as set forth herein shall continue and Landlord will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the Current SNDA, but neither party will have the right to terminate this Lease due to Landlord’s failure to obtain the Lender Approval and/or the Current SNDA.
(b) If a Lessor or Mortgagee or any other person or entity shall succeed to the rights of Landlord under this Lease, whether through possession or foreclosure action or the delivery of a new lease or deed, then at the request of the successor landlord and upon such successor landlord’s written agreement to accept Tenant’s attornment and to recognize Tenant’s interest under this Lease, Tenant shall be deemed to have attorned to and recognized such successor landlord as Landlord under this Lease. The provisions of this Section are self-operative and require no further instruments to give effect hereto; provided, however, that Tenant shall, within ten (10) Business Days after demand, execute and deliver any commercially reasonable instrument that such successor landlord may reasonably request (i) evidencing such attornment, (ii) setting forth the terms and conditions of Tenant’s tenancy, and (iii) containing such other terms and conditions as may be required by such Mortgagee or Lessor, provided such terms and conditions do not increase the Rent, materially increase Tenant’s non-monetary obligations, increase the Rent or otherwise materially and adversely affect Tenant’s rights under this Lease. Upon such attornment this Lease shall continue in full force and effect as a direct lease between such successor landlord and Tenant upon all of the terms, conditions and
-30-
covenants set forth in this Lease except that unless otherwise provided in the SNDA such successor landlord shall not be:
(i) liable for any act or omission of Landlord (except to the extent such act or omission continues beyond the date when such successor landlord succeeds to Landlord’s interest and Tenant gives notice of such act or omission);
(ii) subject to any defense, claim, counterclaim, set-off or offset (except as set forth in Section 6.4 of this Lease and Section 4.8 of Exhibit C-Work Agreement) which Tenant may have against any prior Landlord provided, however, that upon such attornment, such purchaser shall perform in accordance with the terms of this Lease and shall be liable for all obligations of Landlord arising or continuing unfulfilled after the date such attornment;
(iii) bound by any prepayment of more than one month’s Rent to any prior landlord with the exception of prepayments of Operating Expenses or Taxes made in accordance with the terms of this Lease;
(iv) bound by any obligation to make any payment to Tenant which was required to be made prior to the time such successor landlord succeeded to Landlord’s interest;
(v) bound by any obligation to perform any work or to make improvements to the Premises except for (x) repairs and maintenance required to be made by Landlord under this Lease, and (y) repairs to the Premises as a result of damage by fire or other casualty or a partial condemnation pursuant to the provisions of this Lease, but only to the extent that such repairs can reasonably be made from the net proceeds of any insurance or condemnation awards, respectively, actually made available to such successor landlord;
(vi) bound by any modification, amendment, or renewal of this Lease made without successor landlord’s consent, excepting any such modification, amendment or renewal giving effect to any right or option set forth in the Lease and timely exercised by Tenant;
(vii) liable for the repayment of any security deposit or surrender of any letter of credit, unless and until such security deposit actually is paid or such letter of credit is actually delivered to such successor landlord; or
(viii) liable for the payment of any unfunded tenant improvement allowance, refurbishment allowance or similar obligation.
(c) Tenant shall from time to time within ten (10) Business Days of written request from Landlord execute and deliver any documents or instruments that may be reasonably required by any Mortgagee or Lessor to confirm any subordination.
Section 9.2 Mortgage or Superior Lease Defaults. Any Mortgagee may elect that this Lease shall have priority over the Mortgage and, upon notification to Tenant by such Mortgagee, this Lease shall be deemed to have priority over such Mortgage, regardless of the date of this Lease. In connection with any financing of the Project, Tenant shall consent to any
-31-
reasonable modifications of this Lease requested by any lending institution, provided such modifications do not increase the Rent, materially increase Tenant’s non-monetary obligations, or materially and adversely affect the rights of Tenant under this Lease.
Section 9.3 Notice Obligation. To the extent (if any) that Tenant has or believes it has a right to terminate this Lease and Tenant desires to exercise such right, in addition to all other conditions precedent to such exercise set forth in this Lease, (a) Tenant shall give written notice of Tenant’s election to terminate this Lease to all Lessors and/or Mortgagees (provided Tenant has received written notice of the name(s) and contract information for such Lessors and/or Mortgagees), and (b) each such Lessor and/or Mortgagee shall have the right, but not the obligation, and a reasonable period of time after the expiration of any applicable notice and/or cure period to which Landlord might be entitled (not to exceed an additional 180 days), to remedy any act, omission, event or condition giving rise to Tenant’s termination right, which period shall continue so long as such Lessor and/or Mortgagee is diligently pursuing such remedy. The provisions of this Section are not intended to provide Tenant with any right to terminate this Lease. The foregoing shall not apply with respect to Tenant’s exercise of its right to accelerate the Expiration Date or to terminate this Lease as set forth in Article 30 of this Lease.
Section 9.4 Provisions. The provisions of this Article shall (a) inure to the benefit of Landlord, any future owner of the Building or the Project, Lessor or Mortgagee and any sublessor thereof together with Tenant and any successor thereto and (b) apply notwithstanding that, as a matter of law, this Lease may terminate upon the termination of any such Superior Lease or Mortgage.
Section 9.5 [intentionally omitted]
Section 9.6 Ground Lease. Tenant hereby acknowledges that Landlord is both the ground lessor (in such capacity, “Ground Landlord”) and the ground lessee (in such capacity, “Ground Tenant”) under that certain Lease, dated as of June 15, 1978, as amended, modified and assigned from time to time (the “Ground Lease”). If the Ground Lease is terminated or expires for any reason including, without limitation, a default under the Ground Lease by Ground Landlord and/or Ground Tenant or a merger of the estates of Ground Landlord and Ground Tenant, this Lease shall continue upon the then terms of this Lease as a direct lease between Ground Landlord, as landlord hereunder, and Tenant, as tenant hereunder, and Tenant shall automatically attorn to Ground Landlord, as landlord hereunder, without any further action required by any parties hereto. Ground Landlord and Ground Tenant covenant not to amend, modify, cancel or terminate the Ground Lease in any way that adversely affects Tenant’s rights under this Lease.
ARTICLE 10
SERVICES
Section 10.1 Electricity. Subject to any Requirements or any public utility rules or regulations governing energy consumption, Landlord shall make or cause to be made, customary arrangements with utility companies and/or other suppliers of electricity to furnish electric current to the Premises for Tenant’s use in accordance with the standards to which the Base
-32-
Building Systems have been designed (i.e., eight (8) xxxxx per square foot of the Premises, exclusive of base-Building HVAC). The Premises is currently served by 3.5 xxxxx per square of the Premises, exclusive of base-Building HVAC (the “Electrical Standard”). Tenant, as part of the Tenant Improvements, shall be entitled to modify the electrical capacity in order to enable Tenant to utilize an additional 4.5 xxxxx per square foot of the Premises, exclusive of base-Building HVAC for a total of 8 xxxxx per square foot of the Premises, exclusive of base-Building HVAC. If Landlord reasonably determines by the use of an electrical consumption survey or by other reasonable means that Tenant is using electric current (including overhead fluorescent fixtures) in excess of the Electrical Standard (exclusive of electricity for the Building HVAC System) (“Excess Electrical Usage”), then Landlord shall have the right to charge Tenant an amount equal to Landlord’s reasonable estimate of Tenant’s Excess Electrical Usage, and shall have the further right to install a separate electric current meter, submeter or check meter in the Premises (a “Meter”) to measure the amount of electric current consumed in the Premises. In the event that Excess Electrical Usage is determined to exist, the cost of such Meter, special conduits, wiring and panels needed in connection therewith and the installation, maintenance and repair thereof shall be paid by Tenant. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, from time to time, but no more frequently than monthly, for its Excess Electrical Usage at the Premises. The rate to be paid by Tenant for Metered electricity shall include any taxes or other third-party charges in connection therewith. In addition, if Tenant installs a trading floor and/or a computer data room in the Premises or non-standard office equipment in the Premises (i.e., equipment that uses more electric current than standard office equipment), Landlord shall have the right to install a Meter for such portion of the Premises and/or such non-standard office equipment upon the terms set forth above. The cost of such Meter, special conduits, wiring and panels needed in connection therewith and the installation, maintenance and repair thereof shall be paid by Tenant. If such portion of the Premises uses electric current in excess of the Electrical Standard, Tenant shall pay Landlord, from time to time, but no more frequently than monthly, for such excess usage. Tenant shall pay Landlord, from time to time, but no more frequently than monthly, for the electrical usage of all such Metered non-standard office equipment.
Section 10.2 Excess Electricity. Tenant shall at all times comply with the rules and regulations of the utility company supplying electricity to the Building. Subject to the remaining provisions of this Section, Tenant shall not use any electrical equipment which, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, would exceed the capacity of the electrical equipment serving the Premises or which interferes with the electrical service to other tenants of the Building. If by reason of Excess Electrical Usage Landlord reasonably determines that Tenant’s electrical requirements necessitate installation of any additional risers, feeders or other electrical distribution equipment (collectively, “Electrical Equipment”), or if Tenant provides Landlord with evidence reasonably satisfactory to Landlord of Tenant’s need for Excess Electrical Usage and requests that additional Electrical Equipment be installed, Landlord shall, at Tenant’s expense, install such additional Electrical Equipment, provided that Landlord reasonably determines that (a) such installation is practicable and necessary, (b) such additional Electrical Equipment is permissible under applicable Requirements, and (c) the installation of such Electrical Equipment will not cause permanent damage to the Building or the Premises, cause or create a hazardous condition, entail excessive or unreasonable alterations, interfere with or limit electrical usage by other tenants or occupants of the Building or exceed the limits of the switchgear or other facilities serving the Building, or require power in excess of that available from the utility company serving the Building.

Section 10.3 Elevators. Landlord shall provide passenger elevator service for the Premises 24 hours per day, 7 days per week; provided, however, Landlord may limit passenger elevator service during non-Business Hours.

There shall be no additional charge to Tenant for Tenant’s reasonable use of the freight elevator during Business Hours. Landlord shall be entitled to a reasonable hourly charge (without profit or overhead) for use during other hours that are non-Business Hours, with the exception that there shall be no such charge for either Tenant’s move-in to or move-out from the Building other than Landlord’s actual costs incurred in connection with the same, without markup or profit (e.g., overtime security or engineer costs if the move-in occurs outside of Business Hours). Promptly after receipt of Tenant’s written request, Landlord shall, at Tenant’s expense, cause the elevator electronic call feature to reflect a designation chosen by Tenant for the Thirteenth Floor Premises (other than “13th Floor” or “Floor 13”). For example, Tenant could require that the elevator electronic call feature designate the Thirteenth Floor Premises as “FBR Trading Floor.”
Section 10.4 Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning. Landlord shall furnish to the Premises during Business Hours heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (“HVAC”) in accordance with the standards attached hereto as Exhibit H. Landlord shall have access to all air-cooling, fan, ventilating and machine rooms and electrical closets and all other mechanical installations of Landlord (collectively, “Mechanical Installations”), and Tenant shall not construct partitions or other obstructions which may interfere with Landlord’s access thereto or the moving of Landlord’s equipment to and from the Mechanical Installations. No Tenant Party shall at any time enter the Mechanical Installations or tamper with, adjust, or otherwise affect such Mechanical Installations. Landlord shall not be responsible if the HVAC System fails to provide cooled or heated air, as the case may be, to the Premises in accordance with the standards attached hereto as Exhibit H by reason of (i) any equipment installed by, for or on behalf of Tenant, which has an electrical load in excess of the average electrical load and human occupancy factors for the HVAC System as designed, or (ii) any rearrangement of partitioning or other Alterations made or performed by, for or on behalf of Tenant after the installation of the Tenant Improvements in accordance with Tenant’s Plans (but only to the extent such partitions and other Alterations are shown on Tenant’s Plans).

Tenant shall cooperate with Landlord and shall abide by the rules and regulations which Landlord may reasonably prescribe for the proper functioning and protection of the HVAC System.
Section 10.5 Supplemental Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning. If the Premises or any portion thereof is at any time served by any supplemental heating, ventilation and air conditioning unit(s) (whether one or more, but exclusive of any units that are part of the base Building HVAC System, the “Supplemental HVAC Units”), (a) if any Supplemental HVAC Units tap into the base Building HVAC System condenser water loop, Tenant shall pay Landlord within thirty (30) days after Landlord gives Tenant an invoice therefor, (i) [intentionally omitted]; and (ii) on a monthly basis, a charge of $50.00 per ton for each Supplemental HVAC Unit; (b) Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, shall install an electric submeter for

Section 10.6 Overtime HVAC. The Fixed Rent does not include any charge to Tenant for the furnishing of HVAC to the Premises during non-Business Hours (“Overtime Periods”). If Tenant desires HVAC services during Overtime Periods, Tenant shall be able to request such overtime as needed by accessing the Building Management Control System and automatically requesting Overtime HVAC by zone and for a specified time period. Tenant will be charged for all such requests. If Landlord furnishes HVAC service during Overtime Periods, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the cost thereof at Landlord’s then established rate for such service in the Building (which shall be based up Landlord’s Actual Cost (as hereafter defined) of providing such service), which rate is $60.00 per hour per floor as of the Effective Date. As used herein, the “Actual Cost” is defined as the sum of the actual costs incurred by Landlord in providing after-hours HVAC service, including Landlord’s direct costs, engineering labor costs, applicable depreciation related to the increased utilization of equipment to provide the service, repair and maintenance costs, and Landlord’s estimate of related administrative costs for such service. In the event that more than one particular tenant on a particular floor requests the furnishing of HVAC Service during Overtime Periods, the cost of such service shall be equitably apportioned among such tenants.

(c) Tenant acknowledges that Landlord shall not carry insurance on, and shall not be responsible for, (i) damage to any Above Building Standard Installations, (ii) Tenant’s Property, and (iii) any loss suffered by Tenant due to interruption of Tenant’s business.

Section 11.3 Restoration.
(a) If the Premises are damaged by fire or other casualty, or if the Building is damaged such that Tenant is deprived of reasonable access to the Premises, the damage shall be diligently and in good faith repaired by Landlord, to substantially the condition of the Premises prior to the damage, subject to the provisions of any Mortgage or Superior Lease and only to the extent that such repairs can reasonably be made from the net proceeds of any insurance actually received by Landlord, but Landlord shall have no obligation to repair or restore (i) Tenant’s Property or (ii) except as provided in Section 11.3(b), any Alterations or improvements to the Premises, to the extent such Alterations or improvements exceed Building Standard Installations (“Above Building Standard Installations”). So long as Tenant is not in default beyond applicable grace or notice provisions in the payment or performance of its obligations under this Section, and provided Tenant timely delivers to Landlord either Tenant’s Restoration Payment (as hereinafter defined) or the Restoration Security (as hereinafter defined) or Tenant expressly waives any obligation of Landlord to repair or restore any of Tenant’s Above Building Standard Installations, then until the restoration of the Premises is Substantially Completed or would have been Substantially Completed but for Tenant Delay, Fixed Rent, Tenant’s Tax Payment and Tenant’s Operating Payment shall be reduced in the proportion by which the area of the part of the Premises which is not usable (or accessible ) and is not used by Tenant bears to the total area of the Premises; provided, however, if either (x) that portion of the Premises comprising Tenant’s computer and/or communications equipment shall be damaged or destroyed or (y) more than thirty-three percent (33%) of the Premises is untenantable, and as a result of either such events, Tenant is not reasonably able to use the remaining portion of the Premises and Tenant, in fact, does not use any portion of the Premises, then all Fixed Rent, Tenant’s Tax Payment and Tenant’s Operating Payment shall be abated in their entirety until Landlord has Substantially Completed Landlord’s restoration of the Premises.
(b) As a condition precedent to Landlord’s obligations to repair or restore any Above Building Standard Installations, Tenant shall (i) pay to Landlord within thirty (30) days of demand a sum (“Tenant’s Restoration Payment”) equal to the amount, if any, by which (A) the cost, as reasonably estimated by a reputable independent contractor designated by Landlord and reasonably approved by Tenant, of repairing and restoring all Alterations and Tenant Improvements in the Premises to their condition prior to the damage, exceeds (B) the cost of restoring the Premises with Building Standard Installations, or (ii) furnish to Landlord security (the “Restoration Security”) in form and amount reasonably acceptable to Landlord to secure Tenant’s obligation to pay all costs in excess of restoring the Premises with Building Standard Installations. If Tenant fails to deliver to Landlord either (1) Tenant’s Restoration Payment or the Restoration Security, as applicable, or (2) a waiver by Tenant, in form reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, of all of Landlord’s obligations to repair or restore any of the Above Building Standard Installations, in either case within ten (10) Business Days after Landlord’s demand therefor, Landlord shall have no obligation to restore any Above Building Standard Installations and Tenant’s abatement of Fixed Rent, Tenant’s Tax Payment and Tenant’s Operating Payment shall cease when the restoration of the Premises (other than any Above Building Standard Installations) is Substantially Complete. The liability of Tenant for the costs and expenses required under this Section 11.3(b) shall be reduced by the amount of any insurance proceeds received by Landlord from Landlord’s and/or Tenant’s insurer on account of such injury, breakage or damage (or such proceeds as would have been available if Landlord carried all insurance required to be carried by Landlord hereunder).
-41-
Section 11.4 Landlord’s Termination Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 11.3, if the Premises are totally damaged or are rendered wholly untenantable and it is reasonably estimated to require more than fourteen (14) months from the date of such damage to cause Landlord’s restoration to have been Substantially Completed, or if the Building shall be so damaged that, in Landlord’s reasonable opinion, substantial alteration, demolition, or reconstruction of the Building shall be required (whether or not the Premises are so damaged or rendered untenantable), then in either of such events, Landlord may, not later than sixty (60) days following the date of the damage, terminate this Lease by notice to Tenant, provided that if the Premises are not materially damaged, Landlord may not terminate this Lease unless Landlord similarly terminates the leases of other tenants in the Building aggregating at least fifty percent (50%) of the portion of the Building occupied for office purposes immediately prior to such damage. If this Lease is so terminated, (a) the Term shall expire upon the thirtieth (30th) day after such notice is given, (b) Tenant shall vacate the Premises and surrender the same to Landlord, (c) Tenant’s liability for Rent shall cease as of the date of the damage, and (d) any prepaid Rent for any period after the date of the damage shall be promptly refunded by Landlord to Tenant.
Section 11.5 Tenant’s Termination Right. If the Premises are damaged by fire or other casualty, or if the Building shall be so damaged that Tenant is deprived of reasonable access to or use of the Premises, Landlord shall, within sixty (60) days following the date of the damage, cause a reputable independent contractor or architect reasonably selected by Landlord to give notice (the “Restoration Notice”) to Tenant of the date by which such contractor or architect estimates the restoration of the Premises (excluding any Above Building Standard Installations) or if applicable, Building, shall be Substantially Completed. If such date, as set forth in the Restoration Notice, is more than fourteen (14) months from the date of such damage, then Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease by giving notice (the “Termination Notice”) to Landlord not later than thirty (30) days following delivery of the Restoration Notice to Tenant. If Tenant delivers a Termination Notice, this Lease shall be deemed to have terminated as of the date of the giving of the Termination Notice, in the manner set forth in the second sentence of Section 11.4. In addition to the foregoing, if Landlord undertakes restoration of the Premises and fails to substantially complete said restoration within thirty (30) days beyond the time period estimated by Landlord within its Restoration Notice, and the cause of such delay was not occasioned by reason of any act or omission of Tenant or any Unavoidable Delay (not to exceed ninety (90) days in the aggregate of Unavoidable Delay), then and in such event Tenant shall have the option to terminate this Lease upon written notice to Landlord at anytime following expiration of said thirty (30) day period, which termination shall be effective as of the sixtieth (60th) day following the receipt by Landlord of such notice unless Landlord has substantially completed the restoration of the Premises by said sixtieth (60th) day (in which case Tenant’s election to terminate this Lease shall be null and void.
Section 11.6 Final 18 Months. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article, if any damage during the final eighteen (18) months of the Term (as the Term might have theretofore been extended) renders the Premises wholly untenantable, either Landlord or Tenant may terminate this Lease by notice to the other party within thirty (30) days after the occurrence of such damage and this Lease shall expire on the thirtieth (30th) day after the date of such notice. For purposes of this Section, the Premises shall be deemed wholly untenantable if Tenant cannot use more than fifty percent (50%) of the Premises for the conduct of its business and Tenant’s inability to so use the Premises is reasonably expected to continue for more than ninety (90) days.
-42-
Section 11.7 Landlord’s Liability. Any Building employee to whom any property shall be entrusted by or on behalf of Tenant shall be deemed to be acting as Tenant’s agent with respect to such property and neither Landlord nor its agents shall be liable for any damage to such property, or for the loss of or damage to any property of Tenant by theft or otherwise. None of the Insured Parties shall be liable for any injury or damage to persons or property or interruption of Tenant’s business resulting from fire or other casualty, any damage caused by other tenants or persons in the Building or Parking Facility or by construction of any private, public or quasi-public work, or any latent defect in the Premises or in the Building or Parking Facility (except that Landlord shall be required to repair the same to the extent provided in Article 6). No penalty (other than the abatement of Rent as otherwise set forth herein) shall accrue for delays which may arise by reason of adjustment of fire insurance on the part of Landlord or Tenant, or for any Unavoidable Delays arising from any repair or restoration of any portion of the Building, provided that Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to minimize interference with Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Premises during the performance of any such repair or restoration.
Section 11.8 Landlord’s Insurance. Landlord shall maintain at least the following insurance during the Term:
(a) standard all-risk fire and casualty insurance for the full insurable value of the Building (excluding foundations, footings and other below-grade structural elements, any above-Building Standard Installations and any Specialty Alterations), having a commercially reasonable deductible amount;
(b) commercial general liability insurance with minimum limits of $2,000,000 for injury to or death of one or more persons in any one occurrence and third-party property damage, and $5,000,000 for third-party property damage (all such coverage may be through primary and/or excess umbrella policies); and
(c) Workers’ Compensation Insurance as required by applicable law and Employer’s Liability Insurance with a minimum limit of $1,000,000 per accident, $500,000 disease-each employee and $500,000 disease-policy limit.

EMINENT DOMAIN
Section 12.1 Taking.
(a) Total Taking. If all or substantially all of the Project, the Building or the Premises shall be acquired or condemned for any public or quasi-public purpose (a “Taking”), this Lease shall terminate and the Term shall end as of the date of the vesting of title and Rent shall be prorated and adjusted as of such date.
(b) Partial Taking. Upon a Taking of only a part of the Project, the Building or the Premises then, except as hereinafter provided in this Article, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, provided that from and after the date of the vesting of title, Fixed Rent and Tenant’s Proportionate Share shall be modified to reflect the reduction of the Premises and/or the Building as a result of such Taking.
-43-
(c) Landlord’s Termination Right. Whether or not the Premises are affected, Landlord may, by notice to Tenant, within sixty (60) days following the date upon which Landlord receives notice of the Taking of all or a portion of the Project, the Building or the Premises, terminate this Lease, provided that Landlord elects to terminate leases (including this Lease) affecting at least fifty percent (50%) of the portion of the Building occupied for office purposes immediately prior to such taking.
(d) Tenant’s Termination Right. If the part of the Project so Taken contains more than twenty percent (20%) of: (i) the total area of the Premises then leased by Tenant and/or any Related Party and/or (ii) Tenant’s Parking Allocation, in each case immediately prior to such Taking, or if, by reason of such Taking, Tenant no longer has reasonable means of access to the Premises, Tenant may terminate this Lease by notice to Landlord given within thirty (30) days following the date upon which Tenant is given notice of such Taking. If Tenant so notifies Landlord, this Lease shall end and expire upon the thirtieth (30th) day following the giving of such notice. If a part of the Premises shall be so Taken and this Lease is not terminated in accordance with this Section, Landlord, without being required to spend more than it collects as an award, shall, subject to the provisions of any Mortgage or Superior Lease, restore that part of the Premises not so Taken to a self-contained rental unit substantially equivalent (with respect to character, quality, appearance and services) to that which existed immediately prior to such Taking, excluding Tenant’s Property and Above Building Standard Installations.
(e) Apportionment of Rent. Upon any termination of this Lease pursuant to the provisions of this Article, Rent shall be apportioned as of, and shall be paid or refunded up to and including, the date of such termination.
Section 12.2 Awards. Upon any Taking, Landlord shall receive the entire award for any such Taking (with the exception of the value of the Above Building Standard Improvements), and Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord or the condemning authority for the value of any unexpired portion of the Term or Tenant’s Alterations; and Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord all of its right in and to such award. Nothing contained in this Article shall be deemed to prevent Tenant from making a separate claim in any condemnation proceedings for the then value of any Tenant’s Property or Above Building Standard Installations included in such Taking and for any moving expenses, provided any such award is in addition to, and is stated separately from the award made to Landlord.
Section 12.3 Temporary Taking. If all or any part of the Premises is Taken temporarily during the Term for any public or quasi-public use or purpose, Tenant shall give prompt notice to Landlord and the Term shall not be reduced or affected in any way and Tenant shall continue to pay all Rent payable by Tenant without reduction or abatement and to perform all of its other obligations under this Lease, except to the extent prevented from doing so by the condemning authority, and Tenant shall be entitled to receive any award or payment from the condemning authority for such use.

ARTICLE 13
ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
Section 13.1 Consent Requirements.
(a) Except as expressly set forth herein, Tenant shall not assign, mortgage, pledge, encumber, or otherwise transfer this Lease, whether by operation of law or otherwise, and shall not sublet, or permit, or suffer the Premises or any part thereof to be used or occupied by others (whether for desk space, mailing privileges or otherwise), without Landlord’s prior consent in each instance, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed as provided in Section 13.3.
Any assignment, sublease, mortgage, pledge, encumbrance or transfer in contravention of the provisions of this Article shall be void and shall constitute an Event of Default.
(b) If, without Landlord’s consent, this Lease is assigned, or any part of the Premises is sublet or occupied by anyone other than Tenant or this Lease is encumbered (by operation of law or otherwise), Landlord may collect rent from the assignee, subtenant or occupant, and apply the net amount collected to the Rent herein reserved. No such collection shall be deemed a waiver of the provisions of this Article, an acceptance of the assignee, subtenant or occupant as tenant, or a release of Tenant from the performance of Tenant’s covenants hereunder, and in all cases Tenant shall remain fully liable for its obligations under this Lease.
(c) Landlord’s consent to any assignment or subletting shall not relieve Tenant from the obligation to obtain Landlord’s consent to any further assignment or subletting. In no event shall any permitted subtenant assign or encumber its sublease or further sublet any portion of its sublet space, or otherwise suffer or permit any portion of the sublet space to be used or occupied by others.
Section 13.2 Tenant’s Notice. If Tenant desires to assign this Lease (other than to a Related Entity, as hereafter defined) or sublet (other than to a Related Entity or subject to the limitations set forth below, a Permitted User) all or any portion of the Premises and Landlord’s consent thereto is required under this Lease, Tenant shall give notice thereof to Landlord, which shall be accompanied by (a) with respect to an assignment of this Lease, the date Tenant desires the assignment to be effective, and (b) with respect to a sublet of all or a part of the Premises (other than to a Related Entity or subject to the limitations set forth below, a Permitted User), a description of the portion of the Premises to be sublet and the commencement date of such sublease. If such notice is with respect to an assignment of this Lease (other than to a Related Entity) or if with respect to any sublease of this Lease for a term expiring within the final twelve (12) months of the Lease Term (other than to a Related Entity or subject to the limitations set forth below, a Permitted User) (without regard to any then unexercised extension options under this Lease, but considering all extension options granted under the proposed sublease), such notice shall be deemed a thirty (30) day offer from Tenant to Landlord of the right, at Landlord’s option, (1) if the proposed transaction is an assignment of this Lease (other than to a Related Entity), to terminate this Lease with respect to the entire Premises, (2) if the proposed transaction is a sublease of fifty percent (50%) or more of the rentable square footage of the Premises
-45-
(inclusive of any then subleased space at the Premises and any proposed sublease space to the extent same is not subleased to a Related Entity) to a non-Related Entity, to terminate this Lease with respect to the entire Premises, or (3) if Landlord elects not to exercise its termination right under clause (2), to terminate this Lease with respect to the space that Tenant proposes to sublease (the “Partial Space”). Such option may be exercised by notice (the “Termination Notice”) from Landlord to Tenant within thirty (30) days after delivery of Tenant’s notice. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if Landlord elects to terminate this Lease (or a portion thereof) with respect to a proposed sublease pursuant to the above provisions of this Section, Tenant shall have the right to withdraw Tenant’s sublease request by providing Landlord written notice of such withdrawal within ten (10) days of Tenant’s receipt of an applicable Termination Notice. In such event, Landlord’s Termination Notice shall be null and void ab initio and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect. If Landlord exercises its option to terminate all or a portion of this Lease (and Tenant does not withdraw Tenant’s sublease request), (a) this Lease shall end and expire with respect to all or a portion of the Premises, as the case may be, on the date that such assignment or sublease was to commence, provided that such date is in no event earlier than ninety (90) days after the date Landlord receives the above notice unless Landlord agrees to such earlier date, (b) Rent shall be apportioned, paid or refunded as of such date, (c) Tenant, upon Landlord’s request, shall enter into an amendment of this Lease ratifying and confirming such total or partial termination, and setting forth any appropriate modifications to the terms and provisions hereof, (d) Landlord shall be free to lease the Premises (or any part thereof) to Tenant’s prospective assignee or subtenant and (e) Tenant shall pay all costs to make the Partial Space a self-contained rental unit and to install any required Building corridors.
Section 13.3 Conditions to Assignment/Subletting.
(a) If Landlord does not exercise its termination option under Section 13.2 or if Landlord otherwise does not have a termination option, then provided that no Event of Default then exists, Landlord’s consent to the proposed assignment or subletting shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Such consent shall be granted or denied within ten (10) Business Days after delivery to Landlord of (i) a true and complete statement reasonably detailing the identity of the proposed assignee or subtenant (“Transferee”), the nature of its business and its proposed use of the Premises, (ii) current financial information with respect to the Transferee, including its most recent financial statements, and (iii) any other information Landlord may reasonably request, provided that:
(i) in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, the Transferee is engaged in a business or activity, and the Premises will be used in a manner, which (1) is in keeping with the then standards of the Building, (2) is for the Permitted Uses, and (3) does not violate any restrictions set forth in this Lease, any Mortgage or Superior Lease or any negative covenant as to use of the Premises required by any other lease in the Building;
(ii) in the case of an assignment of this Lease or a sublease, the Transferee is reputable with sufficient financial means to perform all of its obligations under this Lease (in the case of a proposed assignment) or the sublease, as the case may be;
-46-
(iii) if Landlord has, or reasonably expects to have within three (3) months thereafter, comparable space available in the Building, neither the Transferee nor any person which, directly or indirectly, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, the Transferee is then an occupant of the Building;
(iv) if Landlord has, or reasonably expects to have within three (3) months thereafter, comparable space available in the Building, the Transferee is not a person or entity (or affiliate of a person or entity) with whom Landlord is then or has been within the prior three (3) months negotiating in connection with the rental of comparable space in the Building;
(v) there shall be not more than five (5) subtenants who are not Related Entities or Permitted Users on each floor of the Premises;
(vi) [intentionally omitted];
(vii) with respect to any assignment or subletting for which Landlord’s consent is required under this Lease, Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days of demand, reimburse Landlord for all reasonable expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with such proposed assignment or sublease, including any investigations as to the acceptability of the Transferee and all reasonable, third-party legal costs reasonably incurred in connection with the granting of any requested consent; such reimbursement not to exceed Two Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($2,500) (the “Cap”) through December 31, 2016 (such Cap to increase by 3% on January 1, 2017 and on each January 1st thereafter), per proposed assignment or sublease, but without limitation (other than that the legal fees must be reasonable) if the proposed assignment or sublease includes unusual issues (such as a request that Landlord modify or release a Lease guaranty or that Landlord amend this Lease) or if any of the parties to any consent to assignment or consent to sublease, as applicable, do not accept Landlord’s draft of the consent to assignment or consent to sublease document without comments); and
(viii) the Transferee shall not be entitled, directly or indirectly, to diplomatic or sovereign immunity, regardless of whether the Transferee agrees to waive such diplomatic or sovereign immunity, and shall be subject to the service of process in, and the jurisdiction of the courts of, the State.
(b) with respect to each and every subletting and/or assignment approved by Landlord under the provisions of this Lease:
(i) the form of the proposed assignment or sublease shall be reasonably satisfactory to Landlord;
(ii) no sublease shall be for a term ending later than one day prior to the Expiration Date;
(iii) no Transferee shall take possession of any part of the Premises, until an executed counterpart of such sublease or assignment has been delivered to Landlord and approved by Landlord as provided in Section 13.3;
(iv) [intentionally omitted]; and
-47-
(v) each sublease shall be subject and subordinate to this Lease and to the matters to which this Lease is or shall be subordinate; and Tenant and each Transferee shall be deemed to have agreed that upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default hereunder, Tenant has hereby assigned to Landlord, and Landlord may, at its option, accept such assignment of, all right, title and interest of Tenant as sublandlord under such sublease, together with all modifications, extensions and renewals thereof then in effect and such Transferee shall, at Landlord’s option, attorn to Landlord pursuant to the then executory provisions of such sublease, except that Landlord shall not be (A) liable for any previous act or omission of Tenant under such sublease, (B) subject to any counterclaim, offset or defense not expressly provided in such sublease, which theretofore accrued to such Transferee against Tenant, (C) bound by any previous modification of such sublease not consented to by Landlord or by any prepayment of more than one month’s rent, (D) bound to return such Transferee’s security deposit, if any, except to the extent Landlord shall receive actual possession of such deposit and such Transferee shall be entitled to the return of all or any portion of such deposit under the terms of its sublease, or (E) obligated to make any payment to or on behalf of such Transferee, or to perform any work in the subleased space or the Building, or in any way to prepare the sublet space for occupancy, beyond Landlord’s obligations under this Lease. The provisions of this Section shall be self-operative, and no further instrument shall be required to give effect to this provision, provided that the Transferee shall execute and deliver to Landlord any instruments Landlord may reasonably request to evidence and confirm such subordination and attornment.
(c) If Tenant has not received Landlord’s written consent or denial of consent to a proposed assignment or sublease or written notice of Landlord’s exercise of its recapture right (if then applicable) under Section 13.2(b) within ten (10) Business Days after Landlord receives Tenant’s initial assignment sublease consent request notice and all required additional information, Tenant shall have the right to thereafter give Landlord a second written request for Landlord’s written consent, which request must state “SECOND AND FINAL REQUEST” in not smaller than 12 font bold print at the top of the first page of the request (the “Second Assignment/Sublease Request”). If Landlord has not given Tenant Landlord’s written consent or denial of consent for the proposed assignment or sublease or written notice of Landlord’s exercise of its recapture right (if then applicable) under Section 13.2(b) within ten (10) days after Landlord’s receipt of the Second Assignment/Sublease Request, Landlord shall be deemed to have consented to Tenant’s assignment of this Lease to the Transferee or to Tenant’s sublease of the proposed sublease space to the Transferee, as applicable, but Landlord shall not be estopped by or deemed to have approved any specific terms of the assignment or sublease (such as, for example, if the assignment document were to release Tenant from any further liability under this Lease or if the sublease provides for a sublease term extending beyond the term of this Lease).
Section 13.4 Binding on Tenant; Indemnification of Landlord. Notwithstanding any assignment or subletting or any acceptance of rent by Landlord from any Transferee, Tenant shall remain fully liable for the payment of all Rent due and for the performance of all the covenants, terms and conditions contained in this Lease on Tenant’s part to be observed and performed, and any default under any term, covenant or condition of this Lease by any Transferee or anyone claiming under or through any Transferee shall be deemed to be a default under this Lease by Tenant (subject to the consideration of any applicable notice and cure period set forth in this Lease). Tenant shall indemnify, defend, protect and hold harmless Landlord
-48-
from and against any and all Losses resulting from any claims that may be made against Landlord by the Transferee or anyone claiming under or through any Transferee or by any brokers or other persons claiming a commission or similar compensation in connection with the proposed assignment or sublease, irrespective of whether Landlord shall give or decline to give its consent to any proposed assignment or sublease, or if Landlord shall exercise any of its options under this Article.
Section 13.5 Tenant’s Failure to Complete. If Landlord consents to a proposed assignment or sublease and Tenant fails to execute and deliver to Landlord such assignment or sublease within 180 days after the giving of such consent or the amount of space subject to such sublease varies by more than fifteen percent (15%) from that specified in the notice given by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to Section 13.2, then Tenant shall again comply with all of the provisions and conditions of Sections 13.2, 13.3 and 13.4 before assigning this Lease or subletting all or part of the Premises.
Section 13.6 Profits. If Tenant enters into any assignment or sublease permitted hereunder or consented to by Landlord, Tenant shall, within sixty (60) days of Landlord’s consent to such assignment or sublease, deliver to Landlord a list of Tenant’s reasonable third-party expenses incurred in connection with such transaction including, without limitation, brokerage fees, tenant improvement allowances, moving and other cash allowances, and legal fees paid in connection with such transaction, marketing costs, cash inducements, construction costs, construction and moving allowances, rent abatement and any lease assumption costs (collectively, “Transaction Costs”), together with a list of all of Tenant’s Property to be transferred to such Transferee. The Transaction Costs shall be recovered by Tenant first from the proceeds under the term of any sublease. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord evidence of the payment of such Transaction Costs promptly after the same are paid. In consideration of such assignment or subletting, Tenant shall pay to Landlord:
(a) In the case of an assignment, on the effective date of the assignment, fifty percent (50%) of all sums and other consideration paid to Tenant by the Transferee for or by reason of such assignment (including sums paid for the sale or rental of Tenant’s Property, less, the then fair market or rental value thereof, as reasonably determined by Landlord) after first deducting the Transaction Costs; or
(b) In the case of a sublease, fifty percent (50%) of any consideration paid under the sublease to Tenant by the Transferee which exceeds on a per square foot basis the Fixed Rent and Additional Rent accruing during the term of the sublease in respect of the subleased space (together with any sums paid for the sale or rental of Tenant’s Property, less, the then fair market or rental value thereof, as reasonably determined by Landlord) after first deducting the amount of Transaction Costs. The sums payable under this clause shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord monthly as and when paid by the subtenant to Tenant. The foregoing notwithstanding, this Section 13.6 shall not apply with respect to any transfer to a Related Entity in accordance with the terms and provisions of Section 13.7.
Section 13.7 Permitted Transfers.
(a) If Tenant is a legal entity, the transfer (by one or more transfers), directly or indirectly, by operation of law or otherwise, of a majority of the stock or other beneficial
-49-
ownership interest in Tenant or of all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant (collectively, “Ownership Interests”) shall be deemed a voluntary assignment of this Lease; provided, however, that the provisions of this Article shall not apply to the transfer of Ownership Interests in Tenant if and so long as Tenant is publicly traded on a nationally recognized stock exchange. For purposes of this Article the term “transfers” shall be deemed to include (x) the issuance of new Ownership Interests which results in a majority of the Ownership Interests in Tenant being held by a person or entity which does not hold a majority of the Ownership Interests in Tenant on the Effective Date and (y) except as provided below, the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant in one or more transactions and the merger or consolidation of Tenant into or with another business entity. The provisions of Section 13.1 shall not apply to transactions with a business entity into or with which Tenant is merged or consolidated or to which all or substantially all of Tenant’s assets are transferred (a “Successor Entity”) so long as (i) such transfer was made for a legitimate independent business purpose and not for the sole or primary purpose of transferring this Lease, (ii) the successor to Tenant has a net worth computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles at least equal to the net worth of Tenant immediately prior to such merger, consolidation or transfer, and (iii) proof satisfactory to Landlord of such net worth is delivered to Landlord at least ten (10) days prior to the effective date of any such transaction. Tenant may also, without obtaining the consent of Landlord, but upon prior notice to Landlord, assign this Lease or sublease all or part of the Premises for any Permitted Uses to any business entity which controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with the original Tenant (a “Common Entity”; a Successor Entity and Common Entity being commonly referred to herein as a “Related Entity”), provided the Related Entity is in Landlord’s reasonable judgment of a character and engaged in a business which is in keeping with the standards for the Building and for so long as such entity remains a Related Entity. Such assignment or sublease shall not relieve, release, impair or discharge any of Tenant’s obligations hereunder. For the purposes hereof, “control” shall be deemed to mean ownership of not less than fifty percent (50%) of all of the Ownership Interests of such corporation or other business entity.
(b) The limitations set forth in this Section shall apply to Transferee(s) and guarantor(s) of this Lease, if any, and any transfer by any such entity in violation of this Section shall be a transfer in violation of Section 13.1.
Section 13.8 Assumption of Obligations. No assignment or transfer shall be effective unless and until the Transferee executes, acknowledges and delivers to Landlord an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord whereby the assignee (a) assumes Tenant’s obligations under this Lease arising from and after the effective date of the assignment and (b) agrees that, notwithstanding such assignment or transfer, the provisions of Section 13.1 hereof shall be binding upon it in respect of all future assignments and transfers.
Section 13.9 Tenant’s Liability. The joint and several liability of Tenant and any successors-in-interest of Tenant and the due performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease shall not be discharged, released or impaired by any agreement or stipulation made by Landlord, or any grantee or assignee of Landlord, extending the time, or modifying any of the terms and provisions of this Lease, or by any waiver or failure of Landlord, or any grantee or assignee of Landlord, to enforce any of the terms and provisions of this Lease. It is expressly understood and agreed by Landlord that none of Tenant’s covenants, undertakings or agreements
-50-
under this Lease are made or intended as personal covenants, undertakings or agreements by Tenant’s shareholders, officers or directors, and any liability for an event of default, breach or non-performance by Tenant under this Lease shall be collectible only out of the assets of Tenant (or any successor entity), as opposed to its shareholders, officers or directors, and no personal liability is assumed by nor at any time may be asserted against Tenant’s shareholders or any of its or their officers, agents, employees, legal representatives, successors or assigns with respect to such event of default, breach or non-performance.
Section 13.10 Listings in Building Directory. The listing of any name other than that of Tenant on the doors of the Premises, the Building directory or elsewhere shall not vest any right or interest in this Lease or in the Premises, nor be deemed to constitute Landlord’s consent to any assignment or transfer of this Lease or to any sublease of the Premises or to the use or occupancy thereof by others.
Section 13.11 [intentionally omitted]
Section 13.12 Permitted Users.
(a) Tenant has advised Landlord that one or more clients, contractors, business associates and/or service providers of/to Tenant (each a “Permitted User”) may from time to time desire to use space at the Premises. Any provision of this Article to the contrary notwithstanding, each Permitted User shall be permitted to use such space at the Premises, without Landlord’s consent, upon the following conditions: (i) Landlord or Landlord’s Agent shall not be litigating against such proposed Permitted User within the prior twelve (12) months; (ii) the Permitted User shall not be entitled, directly or indirectly, to diplomatic or sovereign immunity, regardless of whether the Permitted User agrees to waive such diplomatic or sovereign immunity, and shall be subject to the service of process in, and the jurisdiction of the courts of, the State; (iii) the total space used by such Permitted Users pursuant to this Section shall not exceed 5,000 rentable square feet of the Premises in the aggregate; (iv) to the extent that Tenant receives rent or other consideration in connection with such occupancy in respect of such space on a rentable square foot basis in excess of the Fixed Rent, Tenant’s Operating Payment and Tenant’s Tax Payment payable hereunder per rentable square foot for the initial Premises, Landlord and Tenant shall share such excess amount in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.6, except the reasonable consideration (if any) paid by the Permitted User to Tenant for goods or services provided by Tenant (such as if Tenant were to provide the Permitted User with secretarial or receptionist services and the Permitted User were to pay Tenant for such services) shall be entirely retained by Tenant; and (v) Tenant delivers ten (10) days prior written notice with respect to each Permitted User to Landlord. Use by a Permitted User in accordance with this Section shall not be considered as a sublease and any calculation of the portions of the Premises subleased by Tenant to a Permitted User pursuant to this Section shall expressly disregard the portion of the Premises used by such Permitted User.
(b) Tenant agrees that: (i) no Permitted User shall have privity of contract with Landlord; (ii) no Permitted User shall have any rights under this Lease; (iii) Landlord shall have no liability or obligation to the Permitted User under this Lease; (iv) each Permitted User’s use and occupancy shall be subject and subordinate to this Lease, (v) Tenant shall cause each Permitted User to use and occupy the Premises in conformity with all applicable provisions of

ACCESS TO PREMISES
Section 14.1 Landlord’s Access.
(a) Landlord, Landlord’s agents and utility service providers servicing the Building may erect, use and maintain concealed ducts, pipes and conduits in and through existing columns, and below the floor and above the ceiling of the Premises provided such use does not (i) cause the usable area of the Premises to be reduced beyond a de minimis amount; (ii) create an unsightly appearance compared to Comparable Buildings; or (iii) reduce the services provided by Landlord pursuant to Article 10 hereof. Landlord shall promptly repair any damage to the Premises caused by any work performed pursuant to this Article.
(b) Landlord and any other party designated by Landlord shall have the right to enter the Premises at any time in the case of an emergency (i.e., an imminent danger to persons or property) and for maintenance and repair work that does not unreasonably interrupt Tenant’s business. Landlord, any Lessor or Mortgagee and any other party designated by Landlord and their respective agents shall have the right to enter the Premises at all reasonable times, upon reasonable notice (which notice may be oral but not less than one Business Day preceding the date of the non-emergency access or the aforementioned maintenance and repair work) to examine the Premises, to perform Restorative Work to the Premises or the Building, to show the Premises to prospective purchasers, Mortgagees or Lessors and during the eighteen (18) month period preceding the Expiration Date, prospective tenants, and their respective agents and representatives or others.
(c) All parts (except surfaces facing the interior of the Premises) of all walls, windows and doors bounding the Premises, all balconies, terraces and roofs adjacent to the Premises, all space in or adjacent to the Premises used for shafts, stacks, stairways, mail chutes, conduits and other mechanical facilities, Base Building Systems, Building facilities and Common Areas are not part of the Premises, and Landlord shall have the use thereof and access thereto through the Premises for the purposes of Building operation, maintenance, alteration and repair consistent with the provisions of this Lease.
(d) In connection with any entry within the Premises by Landlord under this Lease, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize the disruption to the use of the Premises by Tenant or any Tenant Party. To the extent that Landlord is performing any Restorative Work, or any alterations, repairs or changes to any of the Building systems or components permitted under this Lease for which Landlord (and not Tenant) is responsible, Landlord agrees that all such work, alterations, repairs or changes shall be done in an expeditious and diligent manner, and that upon completion thereof, Landlord shall restore the affected area and any improvements therein (excluding personal property) substantially to their “as was” condition, subject to reasonable wear and tear. Tenant may elect to have its designee accompany Landlord, its agents or representatives while in the Premises; provided, however, that (a) in the
-52-
event of an emergency, Landlord not be required to be accompanied by any such designee and (b) Tenant’s failure to make its designee available at the time of Landlord’s entry shall not prevent Landlord, its agents or representatives from entering the Premises.
(e) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, upon giving Landlord at least thirty (30) days prior written notice, Tenant shall have the right to designate certain areas located entirely within the Premises which areas (x) are subject to a protective order of a court; (y) are required by Requirements to be secured; or (z) contain Tenant’s financial records, product development files, accounting files, employee benefit files, and/or personnel files, as secured access areas (each, a “Secured Access Area”). Except to the extent as may be required by applicable Requirements, Landlord shall not have keys to any such Secured Access Area, provided (I) Tenant’s written notice includes a copy of the floor plan clearly designating the Secured Access Area, and (II) at the time of Tenant’s written notice Tenant provides Landlord with the names and all contact information of those persons designated by Tenant to enable Landlord to access the Secured Access Areas (each, an “Access Representative”). At least two (2) Access Representatives (one primary and one backup person) shall be available to Landlord twenty-four (24) hours a day, seven (7) days a week, each day of the year as follows: during Business Hours, at least one (1) Access Representative shall be immediately available to Landlord, and, during non-Business Hours, at least one (1) Access Representative shall be available within four (4) hours after being contacted. Tenant shall provide Landlord with current information concerning each such Access Representative as the same may change from time to time. Except in the event of an emergency or other extraordinary circumstance (in which case Landlord may enter the Secured Access Area without an Access Representative, and, if necessary, Landlord may so enter by breaking down the doors or by other forcible means and shall suffer no liability to Tenant whatsoever therefor), no agent or employee of Landlord shall enter any Secured Access Area without (A) reasonable advance oral or written notice to Tenant and unless accompanied by an Access Representative who Tenant shall make available to Landlord in accordance with this Section or (B) some other mutually satisfactory arrangement with Tenant having been made. Tenant shall pay, within ten (10) days after request therefor, all costs incurred by Landlord in connection with Landlord’s compliance with this Section, including, without limitation, any overtime or additional charges for services or repair work not performed at the customary times or in the customary manner. In addition, Landlord shall be under no obligation whatsoever, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, to perform any cleaning, maintenance or repair work to any Secured Access Area to which Landlord is not given reasonable access at the time such cleaning, maintenance or other repair work is being performed for the balance of the Premises, and there shall be no reduction or credit in rent or additional rent under this Lease as a result thereof.
Section 14.2 Building Name. Landlord has the right at any time to change the name, street address or designation by which the Building is commonly known; provided that, the name of the Building shall not contain the name of any financial services company (whether or not such party shall be located in the Building) in connection with same, Landlord will reimburse Tenant for Tenant’s cost of stationery on-hand and updating Tenant’s marketing collateral (including Tenant’s web-site, such reimbursement not to exceed Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000).
-53-
Section 14.3 Light and Air. If at any time any windows of the Premises are temporarily darkened or covered over by reason of any Restorative Work, any of such windows are permanently darkened or covered over due to any Requirement or there is otherwise a diminution of light, air or view by another structure which may hereafter be erected (whether or not by Landlord), Landlord shall not be liable for any damages and Tenant shall not be entitled to any compensation or abatement of any Rent, nor shall the same release Tenant from its obligations hereunder or constitute an actual or constructive eviction.
ARTICLE 15
DEFAULT
Section 15.1 Tenant’s Defaults. Each of the following events shall be an “Event of Default” hereunder:
(a) Tenant fails to pay when due any installment of Rent and such default shall continue for ten (10) days after notice of such default is given to Tenant except that if Landlord shall have given three (3) such notices of default in the payment of any Rent in any twelve (12) month period, Tenant shall not be entitled to any further notice of its delinquency in the payment of any Rent or an extended period in which to make payment until such time as twelve (12) consecutive months shall have elapsed without Tenant having failed to make any such payment when due, and the occurrence of any default in the payment of any Rent within such twelve (12) month period after the giving of three (3) such notices shall constitute an Event of Default; or
(b) Tenant fails to observe or perform any other term, covenant or condition of this Lease and such failure continues for more than thirty (30) days after notice by Landlord to Tenant of such default, or if such default is of a nature that it cannot be completely remedied within thirty (30) days, failure by Tenant to commence to remedy such failure within said thirty (30) days, and thereafter diligently take all steps necessary to remedy such default; or
(c) [intentionally omitted]; or
(d) Tenant files a voluntary petition in bankruptcy or insolvency, or is adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, or files any petition or answer seeking any reorganization, liquidation, dissolution or similar relief under any present or future federal bankruptcy act or any other present or future applicable federal, state or other statute or law, or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors or seeks or consents to or acquiesces in the appointment of any trustee, receiver, liquidator or other similar official for Tenant or for all or any part of Tenant’s property; or
(e) a court of competent jurisdiction shall enter an order, judgment or decree adjudicating Tenant bankrupt, or appointing a trustee, receiver or liquidator of Tenant, or of the whole or any substantial part of its property, without the consent of Tenant, or approving a petition filed against Tenant seeking reorganization or arrangement of Tenant under the bankruptcy laws of the United States, as now in effect or hereafter amended, or any state thereof, and such order, judgment or decree shall not be vacated or set aside or stayed within ninety (90) days from the date of entry thereof; or
-54-
(f) Guarantor generally does not, or is unable to, or admits in writing its inability to, pay its debts as they become due or is subject to the filing of a petition, case or proceeding in bankruptcy.
Section 15.2 Landlord’s Remedies.
(a) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Landlord, at its option, and without limiting the exercise of any other right or remedy Landlord may have on account of such Event of Default, and without any further demand or notice, may give to Tenant notice of (i) the termination of this Lease, in which event this Lease and the Term shall come to an end and expire (whether or not the Term shall have commenced) upon the termination date set forth in such notice with the same force and effect as if the date set forth in the notice was the Expiration Date stated herein, and/or (ii) the termination of Tenant’s right of possession of the Premises, in which event Tenant’s right of possession of the Premises shall come to an end and expire (whether or not the Term shall have commenced) upon the termination date set forth in such notice; and Tenant shall then quit and surrender the Premises to Landlord, but Tenant shall remain liable for damages as provided in this Article and/or, to the extent permitted by law, Landlord may remove all persons and property from the Premises, which property shall be stored by Landlord at a warehouse or elsewhere at the risk, expense and for the account of Tenant.
(b) If this Lease and the Term, or Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises, terminate as provided in Section 15.2(a):
(i) Tenant shall quit and surrender the Premises to Landlord, and Landlord and its agents may immediately, or at any time after such termination, re-enter the Premises or any part thereof, without notice, either by summary proceedings, or by any other applicable action or proceeding, in accordance with applicable legal proceedings (without being liable to indictment, prosecution or damages therefor), and may repossess the Premises and dispossess Tenant and any other persons from the Premises and remove any and all of their property and effects from the Premises.
(ii) Landlord, at Landlord’s option, may relet all or any part of the Premises from time to time, either in the name of Landlord or otherwise, to such tenant or tenants, for any term ending before, on or after the Expiration Date, at such rental and upon such other conditions (which may include concessions and free rent periods) as Landlord, in its commercially reasonable discretion, may determine. Landlord shall have no obligation to accept any tenant offered by Tenant and shall not be liable for failure to relet or, in the event of any such reletting, for failure to collect any rent due upon any such reletting; and no such failure shall relieve Tenant of, or otherwise affect, any liability under this Lease. Landlord shall, however, use reasonable efforts to mitigate its damages but shall not be required to divert prospective tenants from any other portions of the Building. Landlord, at Landlord’s option, may make such alterations, decorations and other physical changes in and to the Premises as Landlord, in its sole discretion, considers advisable or necessary in connection with such reletting or proposed reletting, without relieving Tenant of any liability under this Lease or otherwise affecting any
-55-
such liability. If Landlord re-leases any portion of the Premises to a third party that is affiliated with Landlord or any Landlord Party or any persons affiliated therewith, whether by ownership, business relationship, or otherwise, in a bona fide arm’s length transaction, the rent to be credited to Tenant’s liability shall be the fair market rent at that time notwithstanding a lesser amount actually paid by such replacement tenant.
(c) Tenant, on its own behalf and on behalf of all persons claiming through or under Tenant, including all creditors, hereby waives all rights which Tenant and all such persons might otherwise have under any Requirement (i) to the service of any notice of intention to re-enter or to institute legal proceedings, (ii) to redeem, or to re-enter or repossess the Premises, (iii) to restore the operation of this Lease, after (A) Tenant shall have been dispossessed by judgment or by warrant of any court or judge, (B) any re-entry by Landlord, or (C) any expiration or early termination of the term of this Lease, whether such dispossession, re-entry, expiration or termination shall be by operation of law or pursuant to the provisions of this Lease, and (iv) to any notice to quit the Premises. The words “redeem,” “redemption,” “re-enter,” “re-entry” and “re-entered” as used in this Lease shall not be deemed to be restricted to their technical legal meanings.
(d) Upon the breach or threatened breach by Tenant, or any persons claiming through or under Tenant, of any term, covenant or condition of this Lease, Landlord shall have the right to enjoin such breach and to invoke any other remedy allowed by law or in equity as if re-entry, summary proceedings and other special remedies were not provided in this Lease for such breach. The rights to invoke the remedies set forth above are cumulative and shall not preclude Landlord from invoking any other remedy allowed at law or in equity.
Section 15.3 Landlord’s Damages.
(a) If this Lease and the Term, or Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises, terminate as provided in Section 15.2, then:
(i) Tenant shall pay to Landlord all items of Rent payable under this Lease by Tenant to Landlord prior to the date of termination;
(ii) Landlord may retain all monies, if any, paid by Tenant to Landlord, whether as prepaid Rent, a Security Deposit or otherwise, which monies, to the extent not otherwise applied to amounts due and owing to Landlord, shall be credited by Landlord against any damages payable by Tenant to Landlord;
(iii) Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in monthly installments, on the days specified in this Lease for payment of installments of Fixed Rent, any Deficiency; it being understood that Landlord shall be entitled to recover the Deficiency from Tenant each month as the same shall arise, and no suit to collect the amount of the Deficiency for any month, shall prejudice Landlord’s right to collect the Deficiency for any subsequent month by a similar proceeding; and
(iv) whether or not Landlord shall have collected any monthly Deficiency, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, on demand, in lieu of any further Deficiency and as liquidated and agreed final damages, a sum equal to the amount by which the Rent for the period
-56-
which otherwise would have constituted the unexpired portion of the Term (assuming the Additional Rent during such period to be the same as was payable for the year immediately preceding such termination or re-entry, increased in each succeeding year by four percent (4%) (on a compounded basis)) exceeds the then fair and reasonable rental value of the Premises, for the same period (with both amounts being discounted to present value at a rate of interest equal to two percent (2%) below the then Base Rate) less the aggregate amount of Deficiencies theretofore collected by Landlord pursuant to the provisions of Section 15.3(a)(iii) for the same period, it being understood that upon payment of such final damages, Tenant shall be released from further liability under this Lease with respect to the period after the date of such payment. If, before presentation of proof of such liquidated damages to any court, commission or tribunal, the Premises, or any part thereof, shall have been relet by Landlord for the period which otherwise would have constituted the unexpired portion of the Term, or any part thereof, the amount of rent reserved upon such reletting shall be deemed prima facie, to be the fair and reasonable rental value for the part or the whole of the Premises so relet during the term of the reletting.
(b) If the Premises, or any part thereof, shall be relet together with other space in the Building (or for a term extending beyond the Lease Term), the rents collected or reserved under any such reletting and the expenses of any such reletting shall be equitably apportioned for the purposes of this Section. Tenant shall not be entitled to any rents collected or payable under any reletting, whether or not such rents exceeds the Fixed Rent reserved in this Lease, however, said excess shall be credited against amounts due and owing by Tenant to Landlord. Nothing contained in this Article shall be deemed to limit or preclude the recovery by Landlord from Tenant of the maximum amount allowed to be obtained as damages by any Requirement, or of any sums or damages to which Landlord may be entitled in addition to the damages set forth in this Section.
Section 15.4 Interest. If any payment of Rent is not paid within ten (10) days of the date when due, interest shall accrue on such payment, from the eleventh (11th) day following the date such payment became due until paid at the Interest Rate. Tenant acknowledges that late payment by Tenant of Rent will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of such costs being extremely difficult and impracticable to fix. Such costs include, without limitation, processing and accounting charges, and late charges that may be imposed on Landlord by the terms of any note secured by a Mortgage covering the Premises. Therefore, in addition to interest, if any amount is not paid when due, a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of such amount shall be assessed; provided, however, that on one (1) occasion during any Calendar Year of the Term, Landlord shall give Tenant notice of such late payment and Tenant shall have a period of five (5) Business Days thereafter in which to make such payment before any late charge is assessed. Such interest and late charges are separate and cumulative and are in addition to and shall not diminish or represent a substitute for any of Landlord’s rights or remedies under any other provision of this Lease.
Section 15.5 Other Rights of Landlord. If Tenant fails to pay any Additional Rent when due, Landlord, in addition to any other right or remedy, shall have the same rights and remedies as in the case of a default by Tenant in the payment of Fixed Rent. If Tenant is in arrears in the payment of Rent, Tenant waives Tenant’s right, if any, to designate the items against which any payments made by Tenant are to be credited, and Landlord may apply any payments made by Tenant to any items Landlord sees fit, regardless of any request by Tenant.
-57-
Section 15.6 No Consequential Damages. Excepting Tenant’s liability set forth in Section 18.2 below, in no event shall either party hereunder be liable for, and both Landlord, on behalf of itself and all other Landlord Parties, and Tenant, on behalf of itself and all other Tenant Parties, hereby waive any claim for, any indirect, consequential or punitive damages, including loss of profits or business opportunity, arising under or in connection with this Lease.
ARTICLE 16
LANDLORD’S RIGHT TO CURE; FEES AND EXPENSES
If Tenant commits an Event of Default under this Lease, Landlord, without waiving such Event of Default, may perform such obligations at Tenant’s expense: (a) immediately, and without notice, in the case of emergency or if the Event of Default (i) materially interferes with the use by any other tenant of the Building, (ii) materially interferes with the efficient operation of the Building, (iii) results in a violation of any Requirement, or (iv) results or will result in a cancellation of any insurance policy maintained by Landlord, and (b) in any other case if such Event of Default continues after ten (10) days from the date Landlord gives notice of the defaulted obligation. All reasonable third-party costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with any such performance by it (excluding legal fees or court costs for which the provisions contained in Section 26.8 shall govern), shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord within thirty (30) days after receipt of Landlord’s invoice for such amount (accompanied by copies of invoice(s) evidencing such costs), with interest thereon at the Interest Rate from the date paid by Landlord. Except as expressly provided to the contrary in this Lease, all costs and expenses which, pursuant to this Lease are incurred by Landlord and payable to Landlord by Tenant, and all charges, amounts and sums payable to Landlord by Tenant for any property, material, labor, utility or other services which, pursuant to this Lease, attributable directly to Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises or presence at the Building, or at the request and for the account of Tenant, are provided, furnished or rendered by Landlord, shall become due and payable by Tenant to Landlord within thirty (30) days after receipt of Landlord’s invoice for such amount (accompanied by copies of invoice(s) evidencing such costs).
ARTICLE 17
NO REPRESENTATIONS BY LANDLORD; LANDLORD’S APPROVAL
Section 17.1 No Representations. Except as expressly set forth in this Lease, Landlord and Landlord’s agents have made no warranties, representations, statements or promises with respect to the Building, the Project or the Premises and no rights, easements or licenses are acquired by Tenant by implication or otherwise. Tenant is entering into this Lease after full investigation and is not relying upon any statement or representation made by Landlord not embodied in this Lease.
Section 17.2 No Money Damages. In no event shall Landlord be liable for, and Tenant, on behalf of itself and all other Tenant Parties, hereby waives any claim for, any indirect, consequential or punitive damages, including loss of profits or business opportunity, arising under or in connection with this Lease.
-58-
Section 17.3 Reasonable Efforts. For purposes of this Lease, “reasonable efforts” by Landlord shall not include an obligation to employ contractors or labor at overtime or other premium pay rates or to incur any other overtime costs or additional expenses whatsoever unless Tenant shall agree to be responsible for the incremental cost incurred to perform such overtime cost or additional expense.
ARTICLE 18
END OF TERM
Section 18.1 Expiration. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall quit and surrender the Premises to Landlord vacant, broom clean and in good order and condition, ordinary wear and tear and damage for which Tenant is not responsible under the terms of this Lease excepted, and Tenant shall have satisfied Tenant’s removal obligations under Article 5.
Section 18.2 Holdover Rent. Landlord and Tenant recognize that Landlord’s damages resulting from Tenant’s failure to timely surrender possession of the Premises may be substantial, may exceed the amount of the Rent payable hereunder, and will be impossible to accurately measure. Accordingly, if possession of the Premises is not surrendered to Landlord on the Expiration Date or sooner termination of this Lease, in addition to any other rights or remedies Landlord may have hereunder or at law, Tenant shall (a) pay to Landlord for each month (or any portion thereof) during which Tenant holds over in the Premises after the Expiration Date or sooner termination of this Lease, a sum equal to the product of the Holdover Multiplier times the Rent payable under this Lease for the last full calendar month of the Term, (b) as to any holding over exceeding one (1) month, be liable to Landlord for (1) any payment or rent concession which Landlord may be required to make to any tenant obtained by Landlord for all or any part of the Premises (a “New Tenant”) in order to induce such New Tenant not to terminate its lease by reason of the holding-over by Tenant, and (2) the loss of the benefit of the bargain if any New Tenant shall terminate its lease by reason of the holding-over by Tenant, and (c) as to any holding over exceeding one (1) month, indemnify Landlord against all claims for damages by any New Tenant. No holding-over by Tenant, nor the payment to Landlord of the amounts specified above, shall operate to extend the Term hereof or to establish a month to month or any other tenancy. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to permit Tenant to retain possession of the Premises after the Expiration Date or sooner termination of this Lease, and no acceptance by Landlord of payments from Tenant after the Expiration Date or sooner termination of this Lease shall be deemed to be other than on account of the amount to be paid by Tenant in accordance with the provisions of this Section. The “Holdover Multiplier” shall mean: one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) for the first (1st) two (2) months of any holding over; and one hundred fifty percent (150%) thereafter.
ARTICLE 19
QUIET ENJOYMENT
Provided this Lease is in full force and effect and no Event of Default then exists, Landlord represents, warrants and covenants with Tenant that Tenant may peaceably and quietly enjoy the Premises without hindrance by Landlord or any person lawfully claiming by, through or under Landlord, subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease and to all Superior Leases and Mortgages.
-59-
ARTICLE 20
NO SURRENDER; NO WAIVER
Section 20.1 No Surrender or Release. No act or thing done by Landlord or Landlord’s agents or employees during the Term shall be deemed an acceptance of a surrender of the Premises, and no provision of this Lease shall be deemed to have been waived by Landlord or Tenant, unless such waiver is in writing and is signed by Landlord or Tenant as applicable, except to the extent expressly provided otherwise in this Lease.
Section 20.2 No Waiver. The failure of either party to seek redress for violation of, or to insist upon the strict performance of, any covenant or condition of this Lease, or any of the Rules and Regulations, shall not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment for the future performance of such obligations of this Lease or the Rules and Regulations, or of the right to exercise such election but the same shall continue and remain in full force and effect with respect to any subsequent breach, act or omission. The receipt by Landlord of any Rent payable pursuant to this Lease or any other sums with knowledge of the breach of any covenant of this Lease shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach. No payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount than the monthly Rent herein stipulated shall be deemed to be other than a payment on account of the earliest stipulated Rent, or as Landlord may elect to apply such payment, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment as Rent be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the balance of such Rent or pursue any other remedy provided in this Lease. Except as otherwise set forth in this Lease, (i) all rights and remedies of Tenant set forth herein are in addition to all other rights and remedies available to Tenant at law or in equity; (ii) all rights and remedies available to Tenant hereunder or at law or in equity are expressly declared to be cumulative; (iii) the exercise by Tenant of any such right or remedy shall not prevent the concurrent or subsequent exercise of any other right or remedy; and (iv) no delay in the enforcement or exercise of any such right or remedy shall constitute a waiver of any default by Landlord hereunder or of any of Tenant’s rights or remedies in connection therewith.
ARTICLE 21
WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY; COUNTERCLAIM
Section 21.1 Jury Trial Waiver. Landlord and Tenant hereby waive trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim brought by either party against the other in connection with any matters in any way arising out of or connected with this Lease, the relationship of Landlord and Tenant, Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises, any guaranty of all or any portion of Tenant’s liabilities under this Lease or the enforcement of any remedy under any statute, emergency or otherwise.
Section 21.2 Waiver of Counterclaim. If Landlord commences any summary proceeding against Tenant, Tenant will not interpose any counterclaim of any nature or description in any such proceeding (unless failure to interpose such counterclaim would preclude Tenant from asserting in a separate action the claim which is the subject of such counterclaim), and will not seek to consolidate such proceeding with any other action which may have been or will be brought in any other court by Tenant.

ARTICLE 22
NOTICES
Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Lease, all consents, notices, demands, requests, approvals or other communications given under this Lease shall be in writing and shall be deemed sufficiently given or rendered only if delivered by registered or certified mail (return receipt requested) or by a nationally recognized overnight delivery service making receipted deliveries, addressed to Landlord and Tenant as set forth in Article 1, and to any Mortgagee or Lessor who shall require copies of notices and whose address is provided to Tenant, or to such other address(es) as Landlord, Tenant or any Mortgagee or Lessor may designate as its new address(es) for such purpose by notice given to the other in accordance with the provisions of this Article. Any such consent, notice, demand, request, approval or other communication shall be deemed to have been given on the date of receipted delivery, refusal to accept delivery or when delivery is first (1st) attempted but cannot be made due to a change of address for which no notice is given or three (3) Business Days after it shall have been mailed as provided in this Article, whichever is earlier. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all invoices, statements and Building Communications may be served by ordinary mail or otherwise delivered to Tenant or left at the Premises. “Building Communications” means any notice relating to the operation or maintenance of the Building that is given to substantially all of the tenants of the Building, including, without limitation amendments to the Building Rules and Regulations. Any notice delivered by the attorney for Landlord or Tenant shall be deemed to be delivered by Tenant or Landlord, as the case may be.
ARTICLE 23
RULES AND REGULATIONS
Tenant shall observe and comply with and shall cause all Tenant Parties to observe and comply with the Rules and Regulations, as reasonably supplemented or amended from time to time, provided that in the case of any such supplementations or amendments, Landlord shall provide Tenant with not less than thirty (30) days advance written notice thereof (or such shorter period as might be reasonable under the circumstances) and such supplementations or amendments shall not materially and adversely affect Tenant’s rights expressly set forth in this Lease or materially increase any cost or expense to Tenant. Subject to the foregoing, Landlord reserves the right, from time to time, to adopt additional reasonable Rules and Regulations and to reasonably amend the Rules and Regulations then in effect. Nothing contained in this Lease shall impose upon Landlord any obligation to enforce the Rules and Regulations or terms, covenants or conditions in any other lease against any other Building tenant, and Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for violation of the same by any other tenant, its employees, agents, visitors or licensees, provided that Landlord shall enforce the Rules or Regulations against Tenant in a non-discriminatory fashion. To the extent that any Rules or Regulations conflict with the express terms of this Lease, the terms of this Lease shall control.
-61-
ARTICLE 24
BROKER
Landlord has retained Landlord’s Agent as leasing agent in connection with this Lease and Landlord will be solely responsible for any fee that may be payable to Landlord’s Agent. Landlord agrees to pay a commission to Tenant’s Broker pursuant to a separate agreement. Each of Landlord and Tenant represents and warrants to the other that neither it nor its agents have dealt with any broker in connection with this Lease other than Landlord’s Agent and Tenant’s Broker and that no other broker, finder or like entity procured or negotiated this Lease or is entitled to any fee or commission in connection herewith. Each of Landlord and Tenant shall indemnify, defend, protect and hold the other party harmless from and against any and all Losses which the indemnified party may incur by reason of any claim of or liability to any broker, finder or like agent (other than Landlord’s Agent and Tenant’s Broker) arising out of any dealings claimed to have occurred between the indemnifying party and the claimant in connection with this Lease, and/or the above representation being false.
ARTICLE 25
INDEMNITY
Section 25.1 Tenant’s Indemnity.

EXTENSION OPTION
Section 28.1 Extension Term. Tenant shall have the right to extend the Term for all of the Premises for one (1) extension term of five (5) years (the “Extension Term”) commencing on the day after the expiration of the initial Term (the “Extension Term Commencement Date”) and ending at 11:59 p.m. on the last day of the month in which the fifth (5th) yearly anniversary of the Extension Term Commencement Date occurs, unless the Extension Term shall sooner terminate pursuant to any of the terms of this Lease or otherwise. The Extension Term shall commence only if Tenant notifies Landlord (the “Extension Notice”) of Tenant’s exercise of such extension right not earlier than eighteen (18) months and not later than fourteen (14) months prior to the expiration of the initial Term. The Extension Term shall be upon all of the agreements, terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease, except that (x) the Fixed Rent shall be determined as provided in Section 28.3, (y) the Base Year will be revised to be the calendar year in which the Extension Term shall commence as provided below; and (z) Tenant shall have no further right to extend the Term beyond the Extension Term. Upon the commencement of the Extension Term, any reference to the “Term,” the “term of this Lease” or any similar expression shall be deemed to include the Extension Term and the expiration of the Extension Term shall become the Expiration Date. Any termination, cancellation or surrender of the entire interest of Tenant under this Lease at any time during the Term shall terminate any right of extension of Tenant hereunder.
Section 28.2 Conditions to Exercise. Tenant’s exercise of any right to extend the Term for the Extension Term shall be subject to the following conditions at the time of such exercise: (i) this Lease is in full force and effect; (ii) no Event of Default then exists; (iii) Tenant (or a Related Entity) has timely exercised the extension option, with time being of the essence; (iv) this Lease has not been assigned (other than to a Related Entity); and (v) Tenant (and/or a Related Entity or one or more Permitted Users) is occupying for the conduct of Tenant’s (or such Related Entity’s or one Permitted User’s) business therein at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the Area of the Premises. Except as expressly set forth below, if Tenant exercises an extension option, Tenant may not thereafter revoke such exercise except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 28.4 below.
Section 28.3 Extension Term Rent. The annual Fixed Rent payable during the Extension Term shall be the annual Extension Rate for the Premises as of the commencement of the Extension Term (the “Extension Calculation Date”), with such Extension Rate being escalated annually on each anniversary of the Extension Calculation Date by the market escalation rate that shall be determined as part of the determination of the Extension Rate. “Extension Rate” shall mean the fair market annual full service rental value of the Premises as of the Extension Calculation Date for a lease extension term equal to the Extension Term; based on
-69-
comparable space in the Building or on comparable space in Comparable Buildings; including all of Landlord’s services provided for in this Lease; with the Premises considered as vacant and in “as is” condition as of the Extension Term Commencement Date; with Tenant being required to make Tenant’s Tax Payment and Tenant’s Operating Payment pursuant to the terms of the Lease, but with the Base Year being the calendar year in which the Extension Term commences; assuming the extension term rent is not set forth in the lease between the parties; and assuming that the leased premises is unencumbered (e.g., the leased premises is not subject to another party’s superior expansion right) and is leased under a prime lease and not a sublease. In determining Extension Rate, the parties shall not take into account or give credit to Tenant for any savings to Landlord that may be attributable to the avoidance of “downtime” for marketing and/or construction. Subject to the provisions of this Article, the calculation of the Extension Rate shall take into account all relevant factors including, without limitation the creditworthiness of Tenant. If the Extension Rate includes any out-of-pocket monetary concession (such as a tenant improvement allowance) to be provided by Landlord, Landlord shall have the option to either directly provide such monetary concession or indirectly provide such monetary concession by equitably reducing the Extension Rate by the economic value of such concession over the then remaining Term.
Section 28.4 Procedure for Determining Fixed Rent.
(a) Landlord shall advise Tenant (the “Extension Rent Notice”) of Landlord’s determination of the Extension Rate within ten (10) days after receiving the Extension Notice. If Tenant does not accept Landlord’s determination of the Extension Rate, the parties shall meet and seek to reach agreement on the Extension Rate during the thirty (30) day period that begins when Tenant receives the Extension Rent Notice (the “Extension Negotiation Period”).
(b) If Landlord and Tenant do not agree upon the Extension Rate in writing within the Extension Negotiation Period, Tenant shall within five (5) Business Days after the expiration of the Extension Negotiation Period notify Landlord in writing that Tenant elects to either (and in the absence of such notice from Tenant, Tenant shall be deemed to have elected to proceed under clause (y)) (x) withdraw Tenant’s Extension Notice or (y) request that such disagreement be resolved by arbitration in accordance with the then prevailing Expedited Procedures of the American Arbitration Association or its successor for arbitration of commercial disputes, except that the Expedited Procedures shall be modified as follows:
(i) Either party may start the arbitration process by notifying the other party that the notifying party desires that the Extension Rate be resolved by arbitration, which notice shall include the name and address of the person to act as the arbitrator on the notifying party’s behalf. The arbitrator shall be a real estate broker with at least ten (10) years full-time commercial brokerage experience who is familiar with the fair market rental value of comparable space in Comparable Buildings. Within ten (10) Business Days after the service of the demand for arbitration, the receiving party shall give notice to the party demanding arbitration specifying the name and address of the person designated by the receiving party to act as arbitrator on its behalf, which arbitrator shall be similarly qualified. If the receiving party fails to notify the party demanding arbitration of the appointment of the receiving party’s arbitrator within such ten (10)
-70-
Business Day period, and such failure continues for three (3) Business Days after the demanding party delivers a second notice to the receiving party, then the arbitrator appointed by the demanding party shall be the arbitrator to determine the Extension Rate for the Premises.
(ii) If two (2) arbitrators are chosen pursuant to Subsection 28.4(b)(i), the arbitrators so chosen shall meet within ten (10) Business Days after the second arbitrator is appointed and shall seek to reach agreement on the Extension Rate. If within twenty (20) Business Days after the second arbitrator is appointed the two (2) arbitrators do not reach agreement on the Extension Rate then the two (2) arbitrators shall appoint a third arbitrator, who shall be a competent and impartial person with qualifications similar to those required of the first two (2) arbitrators. If they do not agree upon such appointment within five (5) Business Days after expiration of such twenty (20) Business Day period, the third arbitrator shall be selected by the parties themselves. If the parties do not agree on the third arbitrator within five (5) Business Days after expiration of the foregoing five (5) Business Day period, then either party, on behalf of both, may request appointment of such a qualified person by the then president of the Greater Washington Commercial Association of REALTORS®, or the successor organization thereto. The third arbitrator shall decide the dispute, if it has not been previously resolved, by following the procedures set forth in Subsection 28.4(b)(iii). Each party shall pay the fees and expenses of its respective arbitrator and both shall share the fees and expenses of the third arbitrator. Attorneys’ fees and expenses of counsel and of witnesses for the respective parties shall be paid by the respective party engaging such counsel or calling such witnesses.
(iii) The Extension Rate shall be fixed by the third arbitrator in accordance with the following procedures. Concurrently with the appointment of the third arbitrator, each of the arbitrators selected by the parties shall state, in writing, his or her determination of the Extension Rate supported by the reasons therefor. The third arbitrator shall have the right to consult experts and competent authorities for factual information or evidence pertaining to a determination of the Extension Rate, but any such determination shall be made in the presence of both parties with full right on their part to cross-examine. The third arbitrator shall conduct such hearings and investigations as he or she deems appropriate and shall, within thirty (30) days after being appointed, select which of the two (2) proposed determinations most closely approximates his or her determination of the Extension Rate. The third arbitrator shall have no right to propose a middle ground or any modification of either of the two proposed determinations. The determination he or she chooses as that most closely approximating his or her determination of the Extension Rate shall constitute the decision of the third arbitrator and shall be final and binding upon the parties. The third arbitrator shall render the decision in writing with counterpart copies to each party. The third arbitrator shall have no power to add to or modify the provisions of this Lease. Promptly following receipt of the third arbitrator’s decision, the parties shall enter into an amendment to this Lease confirming the Extension Rate, but the failure of the parties to do so shall not affect the effectiveness of the third arbitrator’s determination.
(iv) In the event of a failure, refusal or inability of any arbitrator to act, his or her successor shall be appointed by him or her, but in the case of the third arbitrator, his or her successor shall be appointed in the same manner as that set forth herein with respect to the appointment of the original third arbitrator.
-71-
(v) If the Fixed Rent payable during the Extension Term is not determined prior to the Extension Term Commencement Date, Tenant shall continue to pay Fixed Rent in an amount equal to the rentable square foot rate payable for the last Lease Year as set forth in Article 1 (the “Extension Interim Rent”). Upon final determination of the Fixed Rent for the Extension Term, Tenant shall commence paying such Fixed Rent as so determined, and within thirty (30) days after such determination Tenant shall pay any deficiency in prior payments of Fixed Rent or, if the Fixed Rent as so determined shall be less than the Extension Interim Rent, Tenant shall be entitled to a credit against the next succeeding installments of Fixed Rent in an amount equal to the difference between each installment of Extension Interim Rent and the Fixed Rent as so determined which should have been paid for such installment until the total amount of the over payment has been recouped.
Section 28.5 Rent for Ancillary Space. Any provision of this Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, if Tenant leases for additional rent (i.e., in addition to Fixed Rent) any storage, rooftop, antenna, generator or other space under this Lease and Tenant’s lease of such space will continue during the Extension Term, then, unless the Lease expressly sets forth the means for determining the rent or other charges for such space during the Extension Term, the rent or such other charges for such space during the Extension Term shall be the Extension Rate for such space and shall be determined by the same parties, using the same procedures and at the same time that such parties are determining the Extension Rate of the Premises.
ARTICLE 29
RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL
Section 29.1 Right of First Refusal.
(a) Subject to the provisions of this Article, if, during the Term of this Lease, Landlord sends a Proposal to a potential tenant or receives a Proposal from a potential tenant for all or any portion of the office space located on the second (2nd) floor of the Building prior to the last thirty-six (36) months of the initial Term (the “ROFR Space”), Landlord shall so notify Tenant (which notice shall include a copy of the applicable Proposal) (the “Landlord’s ROFR Notice”) and, Tenant shall have the right to lease all (but not less than all) of the ROFR Space (the “Right of First Refusal”) by delivering Tenant’s notice of such election to Landlord (“Tenant’s ROFR Notice”) within ten (10) days after Landlord gives Landlord’s ROFR Notice to Tenant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that less than thirty-six (36) months remain in the initial Term, but the deadline for Tenant to exercise the Extension Term has not lapsed, then Landlord shall provide Tenant the Landlord’s ROFR Notice and Tenant may provide Landlord the Tenant’s ROFR Notice, provided that Tenant irrevocably exercises its option for the Extension Term; it being agreed that: (x) the prohibition on exercising such option prior to eighteen (18) months is hereby waived; (y) the right to rescind the option set forth in Section 28.4 is hereby waived; and (z) the determination of Extension Rate will not occur until fourteen (14) months prior to the expiration of the initial Term. The term “Proposal” means (i) a written term sheet or letter of intent that Landlord proposes to a potential tenant, (ii) any written term sheet or letter of intent received from a potential tenant that Landlord desires to accept, or (iii) Landlord’s response to a request for proposal received from a potential tenant.
-72-
(b) Any provision of this Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, Tenant’s Right of First Refusal shall be subject to the following: If Tenant notifies Landlord that Tenant elects not to lease a ROFR Space or if Tenant fails to timely deliver Tenant’s ROFR Notice to Landlord with respect thereto, Tenant’s Right of First Refusal shall not apply to such ROFR Space until Landlord has thereafter entered into a lease for such ROFR Space with a third-party tenant under one or more leases containing such terms as Landlord deems acceptable in Landlord’s sole discretion (including, without limitation, any right of opportunity or other expansion rights that Landlord might grant such tenant(s) for such ROFR Space) and Tenant’s Right of First Refusal shall not apply to such space until the term of such lease has expired with respect to such ROFR Space (including, without limitation, the expiration of any lease term extension period(s), regardless of whether the extension right or agreement is contained in such lease or is agreed to at any time by Landlord and the tenant under such lease or otherwise) or otherwise been terminated.
Section 29.2 Conditions to Exercise. Tenant’s exercise of its Right of First Refusal shall be subject to the following conditions at the time of such exercise: (i) this Lease is in full force and effect; (ii) no Event of Default then exists; (iii) Tenant (or a Related Entity) has timely exercised the Right of First Refusal, with time being of the essence; (iv) this Lease has not been assigned (other than to a Related Entity); (v) Tenant shall not have exercised its Acceleration Option; and (vi) Tenant (and/or any Related Entity or Permitted User) is occupying for the conduct of Tenant’s (or a Related Entity’s or Permitted User’s) business therein at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the Area of the Premises. If Tenant exercises its Right of First Refusal, Tenant may not thereafter revoke such exercise.
Section 29.3 Condition of ROFR Space. Tenant shall take the ROFR Space in “as is” condition.
Section 29.4 ROFR Space Rent.
(a) If Tenant exercises Tenant’s Right of First Refusal prior to October 1, 2014, (i) Tenant shall pay Fixed Rent on a per rentable square foot basis in an amount equal to the Fixed Rent then and thereafter payable from time to time by Tenant under this Lease for the Second Floor Premises on a per rentable square foot basis; (ii) in lieu of providing Tenant with Landlord’s Contribution with respect to the ROFR Space, Landlord shall provide Tenant with an improvement allowance for the ROFR Space (on a rentable square foot basis) equal to the unamortized portion of an improvement allowance equal to $75.00 per rentable square foot of the ROFR Space (determined as of the day on which Tenant commences to lease the ROFR Space) amortized from the Rent Commencement Date through the original Expiration Date (on a straight-line, no-interest basis); (iii) Tenant shall be entitled to a Fixed Rent Abatement equal to fifteen (15) months multiplied by a fraction with the numerator equal to the number of months in the ROFR Space Lease term and the denominator equal to 135 months (i.e., the number of months in the initial Term); (iv) the provisions of Sections 29.4(b) and 29.5 shall not apply with respect to such ROFR Space and (v) Tenant shall otherwise lease the ROFR Space upon the same terms and conditions (prorated, to the extent applicable, for the ROFR Space) as Tenant then leases the initial Premises.
-73-
(b) If Tenant exercises Tenant’s Right of First Refusal on or after October 1, 2014, the following provisions of this Section 29.4(b) shall apply. The annual Fixed Rent payable for an applicable ROFR Space shall be the annual ROFR Rate for the ROFR Space as of the ROFR Commencement Date (the “ROFR Calculation Date”), with such ROFR Rate being escalated annually on each anniversary of the ROFR Calculation Date by the market escalation rate that shall be determined as part of the determination of the ROFR Rate. The “ROFR Rate” shall mean the fair market annual full service rental value of the applicable ROFR Space as of the ROFR Calculation Date for a tenant-requested term equal to the then remainder of the Term; based on comparable space in the Building or on comparable space in Comparable Buildings; including all of Landlord’s services provided for in this Lease; with the ROFR Space considered as vacant and in “as is” condition existing on the ROFR Calculation Date; with Tenant being required to make Tenant’s Tax Payment and Tenant’s Operating Payment pursuant to the terms of the Lease, but with the Base Year being the calendar year in which the ROFR Commencement Date occurs; assuming the rent for the space is not set forth in the lease between the parties; and assuming that the leased premises is unencumbered (e.g., the leased premises is not subject to another party’s superior expansion right) and is leased under a prime lease and not a sublease. Subject to the provisions of this Article, the calculation of ROFR Rate shall take into account all relevant factors including, without limitation, the creditworthiness of Tenant and Guarantor. If the ROFR Rate includes any out-of-pocket monetary concession (such as a tenant improvement allowance) to be provided by Landlord, Landlord shall have the option to either directly provide such monetary concession or indirectly provide such monetary concession by equitably reducing the ROFR Rate by the economic value of such concession over the then remaining Term.
(c) The foregoing and any other provision of this Section to the contrary notwithstanding, if Tenant has the right to extend the Term of the Lease and Tenant does, in fact, extend the Term after the date on which Tenant exercises its Right of First Refusal with respect the ROFR Space, then Rent for the ROFR Space for such extension period shall be at the same rate that Tenant will pay as Rent under the Term extension provisions of this Lease.
Section 29.5 Procedure for Determining Fixed Rent.
(a) If Tenant does not accept the terms of the Proposal in Tenant’s ROFR Notice, the parties shall meet and seek to reach agreement on the ROFR Rate during the ten (10) day period that begins when Landlord receives Tenant’s ROFR Notice (the “ROFR Negotiation Period”).
(b) If Landlord and Tenant do not agree upon the ROFR Rate in writing within the ROFR Negotiation Period, the provisions of Section 28.4(b)(y)(i)-(iv) shall govern the determination of the ROFR Rate, except that all references in Section 28.4(b)(y)(i)-(iv) to the “Extension Rate” shall mean the “ROFR Rate.”
(c) If the Fixed Rent payable for a ROFR Space is not determined prior to the day on which Tenant commences to lease the ROFR Space, Tenant shall pay Fixed Rent for the ROFR Space in an amount equal to the rentable square foot rate then payable for the original Premises (the “ROFR Interim Rent”). Upon final determination of the Fixed Rent for the
-00-
XXXX Xxxxx, Xxxxxx shall commence paying such Fixed Rent as so determined, and within thirty (30) days after such determination Tenant shall pay any deficiency in prior payments of Fixed Rent or, if the Fixed Rent as so determined shall be less than the ROFR Interim Rent, Tenant shall be entitled to a credit against the next succeeding installments of Fixed Rent in an amount equal to the difference between each installment of ROFR Interim Rent and the Fixed Rent as so determined which should have been paid for such installment until the total amount of the over payment has been recouped.
Section 29.6 Terms of Lease. Except to the extent expressly set forth in this Article to the contrary, if Tenant elects to lease ROFR Space, such space shall become subject to this Lease upon the same terms and conditions as are then applicable to the original Premises. The foregoing notwithstanding, any tenant improvement allowances, free rent periods, moving allowances or other special concessions granted to Tenant with respect to the original Premises shall not apply to the ROFR Space except as expressly set forth in Section 29.4(a) of this Lease.
Section 29.7 Term. If Tenant exercises its right to lease ROFR Space, the term of Tenant’s lease of the ROFR Space shall: (a) commence upon the later of: (i) the date of availability specified in Landlord’s ROFR Notice, or (ii) the date Landlord tenders possession of the ROFR Space in the condition required under Section 29.3, and (b) expire upon the expiration of the Term of this Lease (and any extension hereof). Provided Landlord has complied with the terms of the following sentence, Landlord will have no liability to Tenant if Landlord does not deliver the ROFR Space to Tenant on the date of availability specified in Landlord’s ROFR Notice. Landlord will promptly commence and diligently pursue obtaining possession of the ROFR Space (including, if necessary, by initiating legal proceedings) so that Landlord can tender the ROFR Space to Tenant; provided, however, if Landlord has not tendered possession of the ROFR Space to Tenant within one (1) year after the date of availability specified in Landlord’s ROFR Notice (which date shall not be extended by Unavoidable Delays), Tenant’s sole remedy shall be to terminate its election to lease the ROFR Space by notifying Landlord in writing within thirty (30) days after the expiration of said one (1) year period. Landlord shall have no obligation to make any payment to the occupant or to give any other concession to such occupant in order to induce such occupant to vacate and surrender possession of any ROFR Space.
Section 29.8 Recomputation. Except to the extent expressly set forth in this Lease to the contrary, upon Tenant’s leasing of ROFR Space, the terms “Area of the Premises” and the “Premises” shall be deemed amended to include such ROFR Space and Tenant’s Share and all other computations made under this Lease based upon or affected by the rentable area of the Premises shall be recomputed to include such ROFR Space.

Fifty percent of the Acceleration Payment shall be delivered to Landlord by Tenant within thirty (30) days after Tenant delivers the Acceleration Notice to Landlord and the remaining fifty percent (50%) of the Acceleration Payment shall be delivered to Landlord by Tenant not later than thirty (30) days prior to the Accelerated Expiration Date. “Lease Costs” means the sum of: (i) all brokerage commissions and fees, Landlord’s Contribution, attorneys’ fees paid in connection with this Lease, and the rent abatement (i.e., the fifteen (15) month Fixed Rent abatement provided to Tenant beginning on the Commencement Date and continuing to the Rent Commencement Date), all as reasonably determined by Landlord. In addition, if the Premises is expanded after the Effective Date, the Acceleration Payment shall be increased to reflect Landlord’s unamortized Lease Costs as described above in connection with such expansion space(s) (but with the amortization period commencing on the day on which Tenant begins paying Fixed Rent for such expansion space) if such expansion space is part of the Acceleration Premises. Landlord agrees to provide Tenant the amount of the Acceleration Payment (and reasonable substantiation of same) within ten (10) days of receipt of the Acceleration Notice.
Section 30.3 Obligations Upon Exercise. If Tenant properly exercises its Acceleration Option and fully and timely pays the Acceleration Payment to Landlord, this Lease and the Term shall expire and the Expiration Date with respect to the Acceleration Premises shall be at 11:59 p.m. on the Accelerated Expiration Date. Landlord and Tenant shall continue to fully and timely observe and perform their respective obligations under this Lease through the Accelerated Expiration Date and thereafter with respect to any remaining Premises (if any) and any obligations that are to survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. For example, Tenant would continue to be obligated to make all Fixed Rent and Additional Rent payments as and when due under this Lease through the Accelerated Expiration Date.
