reasonable, safe and convenient access to the Demised Premises by the Tenant and

of an action for damages for breach of contract. The provisions of this Article
4 shall not apply in the case of fire or other casualty which are dealt with in

cost of any such alterations and repairs unless same are necessitated by
Tenant's manner of use of the demised premises. (b) (i) Owner hereby reserves
the right at any time and from time to time to make alterations or additions to

buildings, the right to build adjoining the same, the right to construct

which the Demised Premises is a part and to support the same by proper
foundations without any claim for damages or indemnification from Owner or
abatement of rental or other charges hereunder. (iii) There shall be no
allowance to Tenant for a diminution in rental value and no liability on the
part of Owner by reason of
3
inconvenience, annoyance or injury to business arising from Owner or others
making any changes, alterations, additions, improvements, repairs or
replacements in or to any portion of the Building, the Demised Premises or the
BSP, or in or to any fixtures, appurtenances or equipment therein; provided such
actions do not materially interrupt, interfere with or otherwise adversely
affect the Tenant's use of the Demised Premises or the reasonable, safe and
convenient access to the Demised Premises by the Tenant and its employees and
customers, and provided further that Tenant's use of the Demised Premises and
Tenant's reasonable, safe and convenient access to the Demised Premises by the
Tenant and its employees and customers is not materially adversely affected.

jurisdiction.
REQUIREMENTS OF LAW, FIRE INSURANCE, FLOOR LOADS:
6. Prior to the commencement of the lease term, if Tenant is then in
possession, and at all times thereafter, Tenant at Tenant's sole cost and
expense, shall promptly comply with all present and future laws, orders and
regulations of all state, federal, municipal and local governments, departments,
commissions and boards and any direction of any public officer and all
regulations of the New York State Board of fire Underwriters, Insurance Service
office with respect to the demised premises arising out of tenant's manner of
use thereof, or with respect to the building if arising out of tenant's manner
of use of the premises or the building (including the use permitted under the
lease). Nothing herein shall require Tenant to make structural repairs or
alterations unless Tenant has, by its manner of use of the demised premises or
method of operation therein, violated any such laws, ordinances, orders, rules,
regulations or requirements with respect thereto. Tenant may, after securing
Owner to Owner's satisfaction against all damages, interest, penalties and
expenses, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorney's fees, by cash
deposit or by surety bond in an amount and in a company satisfactory to Owner,
contest and appeal any such laws, ordinances, orders, rules, regulations or
requirements provided same is done with all reasonable promptness and provided
such appeal shall not subject Owner to prosecution for a criminal offense or
constitute a default under any lease or mortgage under which Owner may be
obligated, or cause the demised premises or any part thereof to be condemned or
vacated. Tenant shall not do or permit any act or thing to be done in or to the
demised premises which is contrary to law, or which will invalidate or be in
conflict with public liability, fire or other policies of insurance at any time
carried by or for the benefit of Owner with respect to the demised premises or
the building of which the demised premises form a part, or which shall or might
subject Owner to any liability or responsibility to any person or for property
damage. Tenant shall not keep anything in the demised premises except as now or
hereafter permitted by the Fire Department, Board of Fire Underwriters, Fire
Insurance Rating Organization or other authority having jurisdiction, and then
only in such manner and such quantity so as not to increase the rate for fire
insurance applicable to the building, nor use the premises in a manner which
will increase the insurance rate for the building or any property located
therein over that in effect prior to the commencement of Tenant's occupancy.
Tenant
4
shall pay all costs, expenses, fines, penalties, or damages, which may be
imposed upon Owner by reason of Tenant's failure to comply with the provisions
of this article and if by reason of such failure the fire insurance rate shall,
at the beginning of this lease, or at any time thereafter, be higher than it
otherwise would be, then Tenant shall reimburse Owner, as additional rent
hereunder, for that portion of all fire insurance premiums thereafter paid by
Owner which shall have been charged because of such failure by Tenant. In any
action or proceeding wherein Owner and Tenant are parties, a schedule or "make
up" of rate for the building or demised premises issued by the New York Fire
Insurance Exchange, or other body making fire insurance rates applicable to said
premises shall be conclusive evidence of the facts therein stated and of the
several items and charges in the fire insurance rates then applicable to said
premises. Tenant shall not place a load upon any floor of the demised premises
exceeding the floor load per square foot area which it was designed to carry and
which is allowed by law. Owner reserves the right to prescribe the weight and
position of all safes, business machines and mechanical equipment. Such
installations shall be placed and maintained by Tenant, at Tenant's expense, in
settings sufficient, in Owner's reasonable judgment, to absorb and prevent
vibration, noise and annoyance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have
no obligation to undertake, complete and pay for, and Landlord shall be solely
responsible for complying, as its sole cost and expense, with all rules, orders,
regulations and requirements of any governmental agency and with all insurance
directives which may require any alteration, improvement, maintenance,
restoration, repair, remediation, or clean-up of the Demised Premises, or any
part thereof, including but not limited to, alterations required to comply with
the terms and provisions of the American with Disabilities Act, to the extent
required by law, unless and to the extent caused or necessitated solely as a
result of Tenant's negligence or Tenant's specific and particular use of the
Demised Premises at that time, as opposed to the mere general office use of the
Demised Premises.
SUBORDINATION:
7. This lease is subject and subordinate to all ground or underlying
leases and to all mortgages which may now or hereafter affect such leases or the
real property of which demised premises are a part and to all renewals,
modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions of any such
underlying leases and mortgages. This clause shall be self-operative and no
further instrument of subordination shall be required by any ground or
underlying lessor or by any mortgagee, affecting any lease or the real property
of which the demised premises are a part. In confirmation of such subordination,
Tenant shall execute any certificate that Owner may reasonably request.

such damage caused by other tenants or persons in, upon or about said building
or caused by operations in construction of any private, public or quasi public
work. If at any time any windows of the demised premises are temporarily closed,

eviction. Each party hereto ("First Party") shall indemnify and save harmless

not be reimbursed by insurance, including reasonable attorneys fees, paid,
suffered or incurred as a result of any breach by First Party, its agents,
contractors, employees, invitees, or licensees, of any covenant or condition of
this lease, or the carelessness, negligence or improper conduct of the First
Party, its agents, contractors, employees, invitees or licensees. First Party's
liability under this lease extends to the acts and omissions of any sub-tenant,
and any agent, contractor, employee, invitee or licensee of any sub-tenant. In
case any action or proceeding is brought against Other Party by reason of any
such claim, First Party, upon written notice from Other Party, will, at First
Party's expense, resist or defend such action or proceeding by counsel approved
by Other Party in writing, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. As of

inventory and movable equipment, furniture, and other property. Tenant's
liability for rent shall resume five (5) days after written notice from Owner

result of damage from fire or other casualty. Notwithstanding the foregoing,

collectible and to
7
the extent permitted by law, Owner and Tenant each hereby releases and waives
all right of recovery against the other or any one claiming through or under
reach of them by way of subrogation or otherwise. The foregoing release and
waiver shall be in force only if both releasers' insurance policies contain a
clause providing that such a release or waiver shall not invalidate the
insurance. If, and to the extent, that such waiver can be obtained only by the
payment of additional premiums, then the party benefiting from the waiver shall
pay such premium within ten days after written demand or shall be deemed to have
agreed that the party obtaining insurance coverage shall be free of any further
obligation under the provisions hereof with respect to waiver of subrogation.

and/or furnishings or any fixtures or equipment, improvements, or appurtenances
removable by Tenant and agrees that Owner will not be obligated to repair any
damage thereto or replace the same. (f) Tenant hereby waives the provisions of
Section 227 of the Real Property Law and agrees that the provisions of this
article shall govern and control in lieu thereof. (g)(i) if the Demised Premises

business due to a fire or other casualty and Landlord does not elect to
terminate this Lease as set forth herein, then within thirty (30) days after
such damage, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a statement prepared by a
reputable independent, contractor, setting forth such contractor's good faith
estimate as to the time required to repair such damage. If such estimated time
period exceeds one hundred eighty (180) days from the date of such damage,
Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease by giving notice to Landlord not later
than thirty (30) days following Tenant's receipt of such statement. If Tenant
makes such election, the Term of this Lease shall expire on the tenth (10th) day
after the date notice of such election is given, and Tenant shall vacate the
Demised Premises and surrender the same to Landlord on such date; and (g)(ii)
notwithstanding the foregoing, if Landlord shall have failed to make such
repairs within one hundred eighty (180) days from the date of such damage, then

thirty (30) days after the expiration of such one hundred eighty (180) day
period. If Tenant makes such election pursuant to this subsection (g)(ii), the
Term of this Lease shall expire on the tenth (10th) day after the notice of such
election is given by Tenant, and Tenant shall vacate the Demised Premises and
surrender the dame [SIC] to Landlord on such date.

value of any unexpired term of said lease and assigns to Owner, Tenant's entire
interest in any such award. Tenant shall have the right to make an independent
claim to the condemning authority for the value of Tenant's moving expenses and
personal property, trade fixtures and equipment, provided Tenant is entitled
pursuant to the terms of this lease to remove such property, trade fixtures and
equipment at the end of the term, and provided further such claim does not
reduce Owner's award.
ASSIGNMENT, MORTGAGE, ETC.:
11. Tenant, for itself, its heirs, distributes, executors, administrators,
legal representatives, successors and assigns, expressly covenants that it shall
not assign, mortgage or
8
encumber this agreement, nor underlet, or suffer or permit the demised premises
or any part thereof to be used by others, without the prior written consent of
Owner in each instance which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
Transfer of the majority of the stock of a corporate Tenant shall be deemed an
assignment. If this lease be assigned, or if the demised premises or any part
thereof be underlet or occupied by anybody other than Tenant, Owner may, after
default by Tenant, collect rent from the assignee, under-tenant or occupant, and
apply the net amount collected to the rent herein reserved, but no such
assignment, underletting, occupancy or collection shall be deemed a waiver of
this covenant, or the acceptance of the assignee, under-tenant, or occupant as
tenant, or a release of Tenant from the further performance by Tenant of
covenants on the part of Tenant herein contained. The consent by Owner to an
assignment or underletting shall not in any wise be construed to relieve Tenant
from obtaining the express consent in writing of Owner to any further assignment
or underletting.
ELECTRIC CURRENT:
12. Rates and conditions in respect to submetering or rent inclusion, as
the case may be, to be added in RIDER attached hereto. Tenant covenants and
agrees that at all times its use of electric current shall not exceed the
capacity of existing feeders to the building or the risers or wiring
installation and Tenant may not use any electrical equipment which, in Owner's
opinion, reasonably exercised, will overload such installations or interfere
with the use thereof by other tenants of the building. The change at any time of
the character of electric service shall in no way make Owner liable or
responsible to Tenant, for any loss, damages or expenses which Tenant may
sustain. Landlord represents that the Demised Premises are served by no less
than seven (7) xxxxx, connected load of electricity, per usable square foot.
ACCESS TO PREMISES:

obligated) to enter the demised premises upon reasonable advance notice to

the same and to make such repairs, replacements and improvements as Owner may
deem necessary to the demised premises or necessary and reasonable desirable to
any other portion of the building or which Owner may elect to perform; provided,
however, in no event shall Landlord interrupt, interfere with or otherwise
adversely affect the Tenant's use of the Demised Premises or the reasonable,
safe and convenient access to the Demised Premises by the Tenant and its
employees and customers, and provided further that Tenant's use of the Demised
Premises and Tenant's reasonable, safe and convenient access to the Demised
Premises by the Tenant and its employees and customers is not adversely
affected. Tenant shall permit Owner to show same to prospective purchasers or
mortgagees of the building, and during the last six months of the term for the
purpose of showing the same to prospective tenants. If Tenant is not present to
open and permit an entry into the premises, Owner or Owner's agents may enter
the same whenever such entry may be necessary or permissible by master key or
forcibly and provided reasonable care is exercised to safeguard Tenant's
property, such entry shall not render Owner or its agents liable therefor nor in
any event shall the obligations of Tenant hereunder be affected. If during the
last month of the term Tenant shall have removed all or substantially all of
Tenant's property therefrom Owner may immediately enter, alter, renovate or
redecorate the demised premises without limitation or abatement of rent, or
incurring liability to Tenant for any compensation and such act shall have

roof, exterior side and rear walls of the Demised Premises for any purpose,
including but not limited to, erecting signs or other structures on or over all

and installation of the same, and installing, maintaining, using, repairing and
replacing pipes, ducts, conduits and wires leading through, to or from the

have no right whatsoever in the exterior of exterior walls or the roof of the
Demised Premises except as otherwise provided for in this Lease. (ii) Tenant
shall permit Owner to install, use and maintain pipes, ducts and conduits within
or through the Demised Premises, or through the walls, columns and ceilings
therein, provided that the installation work is performed at such times and by
such methods as will not materially interfere with Tenant's use and occupancy of
the Demised Premises. Where access doors are required for mechanical trades in
or adjacent to the Demised Premises, Owner shall furnish and install such access
doors and confine their location, wherever practical, to closets, coat rooms,
toilet rooms, corridors and kitchen or pantry rooms. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in performing any work in or about the demised premises, Owner shall
use all reasonable efforts not to disturb Tenant's business operations,
including performing work after hours if practicable. In no event shall any work
or renovations by Owner result in a reduction of the size of the demised
premises. Tenant shall have the right to have a representative present when
Owner shall enter the Demised Premises.
VAULT, VAULT SPACE, AREA:
14. No Vaults, vault space or area, whether or not enclosed or covered,
not within the property line of the building is leased hereunder, anything
contained in or indicated on any sketch, blue print or plan, or anything
contained elsewhere in this lease to the contrary notwithstanding. Owner makes
no representation as to the location of the property line of the building. All
vaults and vault space and all such areas not within the property line of the
building, which Tenant may be permitted to use and/or occupy, is to be used
and/or occupied under a revocable license, and if any such license be revoked,
or if the amount of such space or area be diminished or required by any federal,

abatement of rent, nor shall such revocation, diminution or requisition be
deemed constructive or actual eviction. Any tax, fee or charge of municipal
authorities for such vault or area shall be paid by Tenant.
OCCUPANCY:

violation of the certificate of occupancy issued for the building of which the
demised premises are a part. Tenant has inspected the premises and accepts them

any. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Owner represents that (i) there is a valid
Certificate of Occupancy covering the building, including the demised premises,
which permits the Permitted Use in the demised premises (subject to the
requirement that any new construction receive its own new certificate of
occupancy or completion) and (ii) there are no violations of Legal Requirements
affecting the demised premises as of the date hereof.

BANKRUPTCY:
16. (a) Anything elsewhere in this lease to the contrary notwithstanding,
this lease may be canceled by Owner by the sending of a written notice to Tenant
within a reasonable time after the happening of any one or more of the following
events: (i) the commencement of a case in bankruptcy or under the laws of any
state - naming Tenant as the debtor; or (ii) the making by Tenant of an
assignment or any other arrangement for the benefit of creditors under any state
statute. Neither Tenant nor any person claiming through or under Tenant, or by
reason of any statute or order of court, shall thereafter be entitled to
possession of the premises demised but shall forthwith quit and surrender the
premises. If this lease shall be assigned in accordance with its terms, the
provisions of this Article 16 shall be applicable only to the party then owning
Tenant's interest in this lease. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, Tenant shall be afforded a period of ninety (90) days in which
to procure the dismissal of an involuntary bankruptcy proceeding before such
proceeding shall constitute a default hereunder. (b) It is stipulated and agreed
that in the event of the termination of this lease pursuant to (a) hereof, Owner
shall forthwith, notwithstanding any other provisions of this lease to the
contrary, be entitled to recover from Tenant as and for liquidated damages an
amount equal to the difference between the rent reserved hereunder for the
unexpired portion of the term demised and the fair and reasonable rental value
of the demised premises for the same period. In the computation of such damages
the difference between any installment of rent becoming due hereunder after the
date of termination and the fair and reasonable rental value of the demised
premises for the period for which such installment was payable shall be
discounted to the date of termination at the rate of four percent (4%) per
annum. If such premises or any part thereof be relet by the Owner for the
unexpired term of said lease, or any part thereof, before presentation of proof
of such liquidated damages to any court, commission or tribunal, the amount of
rent reserved upon such reletting shall be deemed to be the fair and reasonable
rental value for the part or the whole of the premises so re-let during the term
of the re-letting. Nothing herein contained shall limit or prejudice the right
of the Owner to prove for and obtain as liquidated damages by reason of such
termination, an amount equal to the maximum allowed by any statute or rule of
law in effect at the time when, and governing the proceedings in which, such
damages are to be proved, whether or not such amount be greater, equal to, or
less than the amount of the difference referred to above.
DEFAULT:
17. (a) If Tenant defaults in fulfilling any of the covenants of this
lease other than the covenants for the payment of rent or additional rent and
such default shall continue for more than ten (10) days after Landlord's written
notice to Tenant thereof, or if the same cannot be cured within ten (10) days,
if Tenant shall not have diligently commenced such cure within the ten (10) day
period; or if the demised premises become abandoned (for purposes herein, the
term "abandonment" shall mean that Tenant vacated the Demised Premises without
any visible intention of returning); or if any execution or attachment shall be
issued against Tenant or any of Tenant's property whereupon the demised premises
shall be taken or occupied by someone other than Tenant; or if this lease be
rejected under Section 235 of Title 11 of the U.S. Code (bankruptcy code);, in
any one or more of such events, upon Owner serving a written thirty (10) [SIC]
days notice upon Tenant specifying the nature of said default and upon the
expiration of said thirty (10) [SIC] days, if Tenant shall have failed to comply
with or remedy such default, or if the said
11
default or omission complained of shall be of a nature that the same cannot be
completely cured or remedied within said thirty (10) [SIC] day period, and if
Tenant shall not have diligently commenced curing such default within such
thirty (10) [SIC] day period, and shall not thereafter with reasonable diligence
and in good faith, provided. (b) If the notice provided for in (a) hereof shall
have been given, and the term shall expire as aforesaid; or if Tenant shall make
default in the payment of the rent reserved herein after written notice and ten
(10) days to cure, or any item of additional rent herein mentioned after written
notice and ten (10) days to cure, or any part of either or in making any other
payment herein required which default shall not be cured within ten (10) days
after notice; then and in any of such events Owner may without notice, re-enter
the demised premises either by force or otherwise in accordance with applicable
law and dispossess Tenant by summary proceedings or otherwise, and the legal
representative of Tenant or other occupant of demised premise and remove their
effects and hold the premises as if this lease had not been made, and Tenant
hereby waives the service of notice of intention to re-enter or to institute
legal proceedings to that end. If Tenant shall make default hereunder prior to
the date fixed as the commencement of any renewal or extension of this lease,
Owner may cancel and terminate such renewal or extension agreement by written
notice.
REMEDIES OF OWNER AND WAIVER OF REDEMPTION:
18. In case of any such default, reentry expiration and/or dispossess
summary proceedings or by otherwise, (a) the rent shall become due thereupon and
be paid up to the time of such reentry, dispossession or any part or parts
thereof, either in the name of Owner or otherwise for a term or terms, which may
at Owner's option be less than or exceed the period which would otherwise have
constituted the balance of the term of this lease and may grant reasonable and
customary concessions or free rent or charge a higher rental than that in this
lease, and/or (Tenant or the legal representatives of Tenant shall also pay
Owner and liquidated damages for the failure of Tenant to observe and perform
said Tenant's covenants herein contained, any deficiency between the rent hereby
served and/or covenanted to be paid and the net amount, if any, of the rents
collected on account of the lease or leases of the demised premises for each
month of the period which would otherwise have constituted the balance of the
term of this lease. The failure of Owner to re-let the premises or any part or
parts thereof shall not release or affect Tenant's liability for damages. In
computing such liquidated damages there shall be added to the said deficiency
such expenses as Owner may incur in connection with re-letting, such as
reasonable legal expenses and attorneys' fees, brokerage, advertising and for
keeping the demised premises in good order or for preparing the same for
re-letting. Any such liquidated damages shall be paid in monthly installments by
Tenant on the rent day specified in this lease and any suit brought to collect
the amount of the deficiency for any month shall not prejudice in any way the
rights of Owner to collect the deficiency for any subsequent month by a similar
proceeding. Owner, in putting the demised premises in good order or preparing
the same for re-rental may, at Owner's option, make such alterations, repairs,
replacements, and/or decorations in the demised premises as Owner, in Owner's
sole reasonable judgment, considers advisable and necessary for the purpose of
re-letting the demised premises, and the making of such alterations, repairs,
replacements, and/or decorations shall not operate or be construed to release
Tenant from liability hereunder as aforesaid. Owner shall in no event be liable
in any way whatsoever for failure to re-let the demised premises, or in the
event that the demised premises are re-let, for failure to collect the rent
thereof under such re-letting, and in no event shall Tenant be entitled to
receive any excess, if any, of such net rents collected over the sums
12
payable by Tenant to Owner hereunder. In the event of a breach or threatened
breach by Tenant of any of the covenants or provisions hereof, Owner shall have
the right of injunction and the right to invoke any remedy allowed at law or in
equity as if re-entry, summary proceedings and other remedies were not herein
provided for. Mention in this lease of any particular remedy, shall not preclude
Owner from any other remedy, in law or in equity. Tenant hereby expressly waives
any and all rights of redemption granted by or under any present or future laws
in the event of Tenant being evicted or dispossessed for any cause, or in the
event of Owner obtaining possession of demised premises, by reason of the
violation by Tenant of any of the covenants and conditions of this lease, or
otherwise. Landlord shall not be entitled to accelerate rent due for the balance
of the term of the Lease or declare the same to be immediately due and payable;
however, in the event Landlord obtains a judgment against Tenant, the parties
agree that such judgment may incorporate a provision of which obligates Tenant,
in the event Tenant fails to make any payment when required under the terms of
such judgment (a "judgment default"), to pay Landlord a sum (the "NPV Future
Rents") which, at the time of such judgment default represents the then present
value, calculated using a discount rate of the prime rate publicly announced by
Citibank, NA as of the date of default, of the excess, if any, of the aggregate
of the Rent which would have been payable by Tenant for the period commencing
with the date of such judgment default and ending with the specified expiration
date of the Lease if it had not so terminated (the "Remaining Term") over (1)
the amount of any rents then being paid over the Remaining Term by a replacement
tenant, or (2) if the Demised Premises have not been relet for the entire
Remaining Term, the fair and reasonable rental value of the Demised Premises.
FEES AND EXPENSES:
19. If Tenant shall default, beyond any applicable grace and cure period
in the observance or performance of any term or covenant on Tenant's part to be
observed or performed under or by virtue of any of the terms or provisions in
any article of this lease, then, unless otherwise provided elsewhere in this
lease, Owner may after notice, except in case of emergency, perform the
obligation of Tenant thereunder. If Owner, in connection with the foregoing or
in connection with any default by Tenant in the covenant to pay rent hereunder,
makes any expenditures or incurs any obligations for the payment of money,
including but not limited to reasonable attorney's fees, in instituting,
prosecuting or defending any action or proceeding, then Tenant will reimburse
Owner for such sums so paid or obligations incurred with interest and costs. The
foregoing "expenses incurred by reason of Tenant's default shall be deemed to be
additional rent hereunder and shall be paid by Tenant to Owner within rendition
ten (10) days after notice thereof to Tenant of any xxxx or statement to Tenant
therefore. If Tenant's lease term shall have expired at the time of making of
such expenditures or incurring of such obligations, such sums shall be
recoverable by Owner as damages.
BUILDING ALTERATIONS AND MANAGEMENT:
20. Owner shall have the right at any time upon reasonable advance notice
to Tenant without the same constituting an eviction and without incurring
liability to Tenant therefore to change the arrangement and/or location of
public entrances, passageways, doors, doorways, corridors, elevators, stairs,
toilets or other public parts of the building and to change the name, number or
designation by which the building may be known. There shall be no allowance to
Tenant for diminution of rental value and no liability on the part of Owner by
reason of
13
inconvenience, annoyance or injury to business arising from Owner or other
tenants making any repairs in the building or any such alterations, additions
and improvements, provided that any changes, work performed or entry into the
Demised Premises shall be made in a manner so as not to materially interfere
with Tenant's use or occupancy of the Demised Premises and shall in no way
deprive Tenant of its access to the Demised Premises and such work shall be
performed with diligence and continuity. Furthermore, Tenant shall not have any
claim against Owner by reason of Owner's imposition of such controls of the
manner of access to the building by Tenant's social or business visitors as the
Owner may deem necessary for the security of the building and its occupants.
NO REPRESENTATIONS BY OWNER:
21. Neither Owner nor Owner's agents have made any representations or
promises with respect to the physical condition of the building, the land upon
which it is erected or the demised premised, the rents, leases, expenses of
operation or any other matter or thing affecting or related to the premises
except as herein expressly set forth and no rights, easements or licenses are
acquired by Tenant by implication or otherwise except as expressly set forth in
the provisions of this lease. Tenant has inspected the demised premises and is
thoroughly acquainted with its condition and, except as set forth in this Lease
and except as to latent defects and violations of law, agrees to take the same
"as is" subject to performance of Landlord's work as of the date hereof and
acknowledges that the taking of possession of the demised premises by Tenant
shall be conclusive evidence that the said premises were in good and
satisfactory condition at the time such possession was so taken, except as to
latent defects and defects in Landlord's Word for which Landlord shall continue
to remain responsible to cure. All understandings and agreements heretofore made
between the parties hereto are merged in this contract, which alone fully and
completely expresses the agreement between Owner and Tenant and any executory
agreement hereafter made shall be ineffective to change, modify, discharge or
effect an abandonment of it in whole or in part, unless such executory agreement
is in writing and signed by the party against whom enforcement of the change,
modification, discharge or abandonment is sought. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained in this Lease, as of the date of this Lease, Landlord
represents, warrants and covenants to and with Tenant as of the Lease
Commencement Date that (i) there are no restrictions in any recorded instrument
or in any agreement not of record to which Landlord, or a previous owner of the
Building, is a party which prohibits or restricts Tenant's Permitted Use of the
Demised Premises, as stated in this Lease, (ii) this Lease and the terms hereof
are not prohibited by the terms of any superior lease mortgage, or other
financing document, constituting a lien against the Building, (iii) the Landlord
is the owner, in fee simple, of the Building and the person(s) executing this
Lease on behalf of the Landlord have the authority to cause Landlord to enter
into this Lease, (iv) the Permitted Use of the Demised Premises, as stated in
this Lease, is a use permitted, or right, under all zoning laws, rules and
regulation applicable to the Building and the Demised Premises, and is not
prohibited or restricted by the terms of the certificate of occupancy of the
Building, an unconditional certificate of occupancy for the entire Demised
Premises is in effect, and (vi) the Demised Premise, will be in good working
order on the Lease Commencement Date.

END OF TERM:
22. Upon the expiration or other termination of the term of this lease,
Tenant shall quit and surrender to Owner the demised premises, broom clean, in
good order and condition subject to damage due to casualty or condemnation,
except as set forth in this Lease and except as to latent defects and violations
of law ordinary wear and damages which Tenant is not required to repair as
provided elsewhere in this lease excepted, and Tenant shall remove all its
property. Tenant's obligation to observe or perform this covenant shall survive
the expiration or other termination of this lease. If the last day of the term
of this Lease or any renewal thereof, falls on Sunday this lease shall expire at
noon on the preceding Saturday unless it be a legal holiday in which case it
shall expire at noon on the preceding business day.
QUIET ENJOYMENT:
23. Owner covenants and agrees with Tenant that upon paying the rent and
additional rent and observing and performing all the terms, covenants and
conditions, or Tenant's part to be observed and performed within applicable
notice and cure periods, Tenant may peaceably and quietly enjoy the premises
hereby demised, subject, nevertheless, to the terms and conditions of this
lease.
FAILURE TO GIVE POSSESSION:
24. If Owner is unable to give exclusive possession of the demised
premises on the date of the commencement of the term hereof, because of the
holding over or retention of possession of any tenant, undertenant or occupants
or if the demised premises are located in a building being constructed, because
such building has not been sufficiently completed to make the premises ready for
occupancy or because of the fact that a certificate of occupancy has not been
procured or for any other reason, Owner shall not be subject to any liability
for failure to give possession on said date and the validity of the lease shall
not be impaired under such circumstances, nor shall the same be construed in any
wise to extend the term of this lease, but the rent payable hereunder shall be
abated (provided Tenant is not responsible for Owner's inability to obtain
possession) until after Owner shall have given Tenant written notice that the
premises are substantially ready for Tenant's occupancy. If Permission is given
to Tenant to enter into the possession of the demised premises or to occupy
premises other than the demised premises prior to the date specified as the
commencement of the term of this lease, Tenant covenants and agrees that such
occupancy shall be deemed to be under all the terms, covenants, conditions and
provisions of this lease, except as to the covenant to pay rent. The provisions
of this article are intended to constitute "an express provision to the
contrary" within the meaning of Section 223-a of the New York Real Property Law.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Owner shall give possession within 90 days after
a fully executed copy of this lease is exchanged between the parties, subject,
however, to the obligation of the Tenant to perform any work it is to perform in
a timely manner. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article 24, in
the event Landlord has not delivered exclusive possession of the Demised
Premises to Tenant on or before August 1, 1999, with time being of the essence
thereof, for any reason whatsoever, including events of Force Majeure, then
Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease effective upon delivery of
written notice to Landlord, in which event Landlord shall promptly
15
return to Tenant the Security Deposit, together with all interest earned
thereon, and on parties hereto shall thereafter have no further obligations to
each other by reason of this Lease.
NO WAIVER:
25. The failure of Owner or Tenant to seek redress for violation of, or to
insist upon the strict performance of any covenant or condition of this lease or
of any of the Rules or regulations, set forth or hereafter adopted by Owner,
shall not prevent a subsequent act which would have originally constituted a
violation from having all the force and effect of an original violation. The
payment or receipt by Owner of rent with knowledge of the breach of any covenant
of this lease shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach and no provision of
this lease shall be deemed to have been waived by Owner unless such waiver be in
writing signed by Owner. No payment by Tenant or receipt by Owner of a lesser
amount than the monthly rent herein stipulated shall be deemed to be other than
on account of the earliest stipulated rent, nor shall any endorsement or
statement of any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment as rent
be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Owner may accept such check or payment
without prejudice to Owner's right to recover the balance of such rent or pursue
any other remedy in this lease provided. No act or thing done by Owner or
Owner's agents during the term hereby demised shall be deemed an acceptance of a
surrender of said premises, and no agreement to accept such surrender shall be
valid unless in writing signed by Owner. No employee of Owner or Owner's agent
shall have any power to accept the keys of said premises prior to the
termination of the lease and the delivery of keys to any such agent or employee
shall not operate as a termination of the lease or a surrender of the premises.
WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY:
26. It is mutually agreed by and between Owner and Tenant that the
respective parties hereto shall and they hereby do waive trial by jury in any
action, proceeding or counterclaim brought by either of the parties hereto
against the other (except for personal injury or property damage) on any matters
whatsoever arising out of or in any way connected with this lease, the
relationship of Owner and Tenant, Tenant's use of or occupancy of said premises,
and any emergency statutory or any other statutory remedy. It is further
mutually an summary proceeding for possession of the premises, Tenant will not
interpose any counterclaim of whatever nature or description in any such
proceeding including a counterclaim under Article 4.
INABILITY TO PERFORM:
27. Except as otherwise set forth to the contrary elsewhere in this Lease,
this Lease and the obligation of Tenant to pay rent here under and perform all
of the other covenants and agreements here under on part of Tenant to be
performed shall in no wise be affected, impaired or excused because Owner is
unable to fulfill any of its obligations under this lease or to supply or is
delayed in supplying any service expressly or implied to be supplied or is
unable to make, or is delayed in making any repair, additions, alterations or
decorations or is unable to supply or is delayed in supplying any equipment or
fixtures if Owner is prevented or delayed from so doing by reason of strike or
labor troubles or any cause whatsoever including, but not limited to, government
preemption in connection with a National Emergency or by reason of any rule,
order or regulation of any department or subdivision thereof of any government
agency or by reason of
16
the conditions of supply and demand which have been or are affected by war or
other emergency, provided, however, that in the event that Tenant is unable to
occupy the Demised Premises resulting from a failure to provide access or
building services or as a result of work performed by Landlord, rent and
additional rent shall xxxxx during such periods.
BILLS AND NOTICES:
28. Except as otherwise in this lease provided, a xxxx, statement, notice
or communication which Owner may desire or be required to give to Tenant, shall
be deemed sufficiently given or rendered if, in writing, delivered to Tenant
personally or sent by registered or certified mail addressed to Tenant, at the
building of which the demised premises form a part or left at any of the
aforesaid premises addressed to Tenant, and the time of the rendition of such
xxxx or statement and of the giving of such notice or communication shall be
deemed to be the time when the same is delivered to Tenant three (3) business
days after mailed, or left at the premises as herein provided. Any notice by
Tenant to Owner must be served by registered or certified mail addressed to
Owner at the address first hereinabove given or at such other address as Owner
shall designate by written notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing: (i) notices
shall be deemed given on the day of delivery, or, if delivery is refused on the
first business day on which delivery is attempted, and (ii) in addition to the
notice methods specified above, notices given to or by Owner or Tenant may be

provides a signed receipt. Notice shall be given to Owner and Tenant at their
addresses set forth in Rider Paragraph 67.

working order and repair to register such water consumption and Tenant shall pay
for water consumed as shown on said meter as additional rent as and when bills
are rendered; (c) if the demised premises are serviced by Owner's air

expense; (e) Owner reserves the right to stop services of the heating,
elevators, plumbing, air-conditioning, power systems or cleaning or other
services, if any, when necessary by reason of accident or for repairs,
alterations, replacements or improvements necessary or desirable in the judgment
of Owner for as long as may be reasonably required by reason thereof provided,
however, that Owner shall provide Tenant with reasonable notice of any such
cessation of utilities to the extent reasonably possible. If the building of

service, Owner at any time may substitute automatic control elevator service and
upon ten days' written notice to Tenant, proceed with alterations necessary

to occupy the Demised Premises resulting from a failure to provide building
services or as a result of work performed by Landlord, rent and additional rent
shall xxxxx during such periods.

be written as primary policies not contributing with, nor in excess of,
insurance coverage that Owner and its mortgagees may have. Tenant shall not
carry separate or additional insurance which, in the event of any loss or
damage, is concurrent in form or would contribute with the insurance required to
be maintained by Tenant under this Lease.
H. If Tenant shall not insure for business interruption, or, to the extent
that Tenant shall be a self insurer (including, without any limitation, any
deductible under any insurance policy) Tenant agrees that Owner shall be
released, and Tenant hereby releases Owner, from business interruption loss
which could have been covered by an insurance policy if Tenant had chosen to
purchase one.

C. Owner shall be responsible for all structural repairs to the Building,
unless such repairs are necessitated by Tenant's acts or negligence, including
the acts or negligence of its agents or employees.
53. Owner's Costs To Approve Or Consent
If Tenant requests Owner's approval or consent to alterations, additions,
improvements, or assignment or any other matter or thing requiring Owner's
consent or approval under this Lease, and if in connection with such request
Owner seeks the advice of its attorneys, architect and/or engineer, then Owner,
as conditions precedent to granting its consent or approval, may require that
the Tenant pay the reasonable fee of Owner's attorneys, architect and/or
engineer in connection with the consideration of such request and/or the
preparation of any documents pertaining thereto not to exceed $500 per request,
unless extraordinary services are required by the nature of the proposed
alteration and only after prior written notice to Tenant.
54. Use and Operation
A. The Demised Premises shall be used for office use and no other purposes
(including use of kitchenette).
B. Any change from substantially the use as described herein without
Landlord's prior written consent not to be unreasonably withheld shall
constitute a default under this Lease.
C. The Tenant shall not suffer or permit the Demised Premises to be used
in any manner, or anything to be done therein, or suffer or permit anything to
be brought into or kept therein, which would in any way (i) result in the
Demised Premises not being operated in a manner consistent with a first-class,
high quality office or which would be inconsistent with the nature and the
operation of the building, or (ii) constitute a public or private nuisance.
55. Breach by Tenant
A. In the event of a breach by Tenant of any of the covenants or
provisions of this Lease, Owner shall have the right to enjoin any such breach.
B. Any and all rights and remedies which Owner may have under this Lease
and at law or in equity, shall be cumulative and shall not be deemed
inconsistent with each other, and
33
any two or more or all of said rights and remedies may be exercised at the same
time or at different time and from time to time. If any of the aforesaid
provisions or any other provision of this lease shall be unenforceable or void,
said provision shall be deemed eliminated and of no force and effect and the
balance of this Lease shall continue in full force and effect. If any notice is
required by law to be given, such notice shall be given.
C. The Tenant covenants and agrees to pay on demand Owner's reasonable,
out-of-pocket expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements,
incurred in enforcing any obligation of the Tenant under the Lease or in curing
any default by Tenant under this Lease.
D. The Owner shall have a lien on Tenant's interest in this Lease to
secure the payment and performance of Tenant's obligations hereunder.
Furthermore, to secure: (1) the payment of all base rent and additional rent;
and (ii) Tenant's performance of all of its obligations under this Lease. Tenant
grants to Owner an express first and prior lien and security interest in all
inventory, equipment, fixtures and other personal property ("FF&E") which are
and may be placed in the Demised Premises after the date hereof, and the
proceeds thereof, and upon all proceeds of an insurance which may accrue to
Tenant by reason of the destruction or damage of any such property provided that
Landlord agrees that such lien shall be subordinate to any lien arising in
connection with Tenant's purchase of FF&E. Tenant will not remove such property
in which Owner has an interest as provided herein (except Tenant may remove
items of inventory in the ordinary course of business if it replaces them at the
Premises with similar items of inventory and Tenant may remove equipment,
fixtures and their personal property if same is replaced at the premises by
property of like quality and equivalent value) without the prior written consent
of Owner until Owner shall have released its lien, or this Lease is terminated
for reasons of Owner's default as determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction, or the termination of such security interest as provided in this
Lease, whichever first occurs. Tenant waives the benefit of all exemption laws
in favor of such lien and security interest. This lien and security interest is
given in addition to Owner's statutory lien and is cumulative with it. Upon the
occurrence of a default, which default is not cured within the applicable cure
period, these liens may be foreclosed with or without court proceedings by
public or private sale, so long as Owner gives Tenant at least fifteen (15) days
written notice of the time and place of the sale. Owner will have the right to
become the purchaser if it is the highest bidder at such sale. Contemporaneous
with its execution of this Lease (and if requested after such execution by
Owner), Tenant will execute and deliver to Owner Uniform Commercial Code
Financing statements in form and substance sufficient (upon proper filing) to
perfect the security interest granted in this section. If requested by Owner,
Tenant also will execute and deliver to Owner Uniform Commercial Code
continuation statements in form and substance sufficient to reflect any proper
amendment of, modification in, or extension of the security interest granted in
this section. This Section shall constitute a "security agreement" as said term
is defined in the New York Uniform Commercial Code.
The security interest and lien created by this subparagraph shall
terminate, and Owner shall deliver to Tenant one or more UCC-3 termination
statements terminating such lien, upon the earlier of:
(i) The termination of this Lease by reason of Owner's default as
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction; or
34
(ii) the termination or other expiration of this Lease pursuant to its
terms.
E. Additionally, should the Premises not be occupied for a period of in
excess of 120 consecutive days, it shall be a non-curable default hereunder.
Notwithstanding foregoing, if the Premises are closed by reason of a fire or
other casualty, then the provisions herein shall not apply, unless the same
would result in the loss of the present use for the Premises.
56. Additional Services
A. Except as otherwise provided in this Lease, Tenant covenants and agrees
that, in the event any law, rule regulation or judicial determination has the
effect of increasing any of the services to be furnished by Owner hereunder,
Tenant agrees to pay to Owner, as additional rent, the cost incurred or to be
incurred by Owner to provide such additional service to Tenant or Tenant's pro
rata share if provided to other Tenants.
B. If any sales or use tax shall be imposed upon Owner in connection with
any of the services to be provided by Owner hereunder, Tenant shall pay to
Owner, as additional rent, its proportionate share of the amount of such tax.
57. Refuse
A. Tenant shall at all times keep the areas used by Tenant for ingress and
egress to the Demised Premises free and clear of all dirt, garbage, rubbish,
refuse (which such term "refuse" as used in the Lease shall mean and include
crates, boxes, merchandise, containers, bottles, paper, food and similar items),
snow and ice.
B. Tenant shall accumulate all garbage, rubbish and refuse for disposal
only within the interior of the Demised Premises and not in the common or
services area and in areas therein kept closed by a door and in well-covered
sanitary containers designed to prevent odors from emanating therefrom. No such
garbage, rubbish or refuse shall be removed, or be permitted to be removed, from
the interior of the Demised Premises, except in accordance with local law and
Building Rules and Regulations. Except as otherwise provided in this Lease,
Tenant shall be responsible for all costs and expenses in connection with
Tenant's garbage removal. Tenant shall also comply with all laws and ordinances
with regard to its garbage removal and be responsible for any breach thereof.
58. Exterminator
Tenant shall use its commercially reasonable efforts, at its sole cost and
expense to keep the Premises free from vermin, rodents, or anything of like,
objectionable nature which emanates from the Premises or is caused by Tenant's
use of the Premises, and shall employ only licensed exterminator at the request
of Owner.
59. Owner's Limited Liability
Anything in this Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, Tenant for itself,
its successors and assigns, covenants and agrees that the liability of the Owner
shall be limited so that only the assets and interest of the Owner in and to
One-Two Bridge Street, and the Xxxxxx Xxxxxx

satisfaction, or security for payment of any judgment, or claim against Owner or

no other assets of any of the principals of Owner whether owned by them jointly
or severally, directly or indirectly, shall be liable to pay or satisfy any such
judgment, claim, demand or indebtedness arising from any default by Owner.
60. Late Payment
If Tenant shall fail to pay any installment of base rent or any amount of
additional rent for more than ten (10) days after the same shall have become due
and payable, Tenant shall pay Owner a late charge of four cents for each dollar
of the amount of such base rent or additional rent as shall not have been paid
to Owner within such ten (10) days after becoming due and payable. Such late
charges shall be without prejudice to any of Owner's rights and remedies
hereunder or at law or in equity for nonpayment or late payment of rent and
shall be in addition thereto.
61. Alteration
In the event that the Tenant shall make any alterations resulting in the
demolition of any part of the structural portions or interior or exterior of the
premises, then said alterations shall be made only with the consent of the
Owner, in writing and the Tenant shall pay additional security to the Owner
equal to the amount necessary to restore the Premises to its original condition
at the time the Tenant took occupancy. Ordinary alterations not of a permanent
nature which are necessary for the conduct of the business of the Tenant, which
do not involve demolition as aforesaid, shall not require Owner's consent.
62. Tenant's Additional Covenants
(i) Tenant shall not change the exterior architecture (whether by
alteration, replacement, rebuilding or otherwise) the exterior color and/or
architectural treatment of the Demised Premises or of the building or any part
thereof.
(ii) Tenant shall not use the plumbing facilities for any purpose other
than that for which they were constructed, or dispose of any garbage or other

used for refrigeration purposes or for any other purposes other than that for
which they are constructed, no foreign substance of any kind shall be thrown
therein, and the expense of any breakage, stoppage, or damage resulting from a
violation of this provision shall be borne by Tenant:

36
course of Tenant's business, and shall have the right to grant liens and to
enter security agreements and conditional sales agreements in connection
therewith.

vibration or other effect to constitute a nuisance or otherwise interfere with
the safety, comfort or convenience of Owner or other tenants in the Building.
63. Security
Supplementing the provisions of Article 31, Tenant has deposited with
Owner the sum of $135,975.00 (of which $$28,000 shall be paid on or before
November 1, 2000, the occupancy date for Suite 109) as security hereunder, with
a cash deposit. Tenant shall increase the security in accordance with and at the
same time base rent increases are effective hereunder so that 3 month's base
rent shall be on deposit at all times. If at any time Tenant shall be in default
in the payment of rent or in the keeping, observance or performance of any other
covenant, agreement, term, provision or condition beyond all applicable notice
and grace periods, Owner may at its election apply the security so on deposit
with Owner, to the payment of any such rent or to the payment of the costs
incurred or to be incurred by Owner in curing such default, as the case may be.
If, as a result of any such application of all or any part of such security, the
amount of security so on deposit with Owner shall be less than required, Tenant
shall forthwith deposit with Owner an amount equal to the deficiency. If at the
expiration of the term of this lease Tenants shall not be in default in the
keeping, observance or performance of any such other covenant, agreement, term,
provision or condition, then Owner shall promptly return to Tenant said
security, if any, then on deposit with Owner.

in and/or to the Demised Premises shall, upon installation, become the property
of Owner and shall be surrendered by Tenant to Owner at the expiration or sooner
termination of the term of this Lease, except for items of personality not

encumbrance shall attach to the Tenant's Initial Improvements or any change,
improvement or alteration thereto Tenant will, at Tenant's sole cost and
expense, promptly cause same to be released of record within thirty (30) days
after notice of the attachment thereof, failing which Owner may cause same to be

changes, improvements and alterations made by or on behalf of Tenant at Tenant's
expense will be fully paid for. In the event Tenant purchases furnishings or

Tenant of such Mortgagee on the same terms and conditions as are contained in
this Lease, subject to the provisions hereinafter set forth, provided no Event
of Default shall have occurred and be continuing hereunder beyond any applicable
notice and cure period (any such agreement being referred to as a
"Nondisturbance Agreement"), this Lease shall he subject and subordinate to such
mortgage. This clause shall be self-operative and no further instrument of
subordination shall be required from Tenant to make the interest on any
Mortgagee superior to the interest of Tenant hereunder.
72. Additional Remedies

located, and/or any parking or other areas adjacent to the Building.

If in this lease it is provided that Owner's consent or approval as to any
matter will not be unreasonably withheld, and it is established by a court or
body having final jurisdiction thereof that Owner has been unreasonable, the
only effect of such finding shall be that Owner shall be deemed to have given
its consent or approval, but Owner shall not be liable to Tenant or any third
party in any respect for money damage by reason of withholding its consent,
unless Owner's refusal to grant consent or approval was done in bad faith.

covenants and warrants that it shall not directly or indirectly create or permit
or suffer to be created or to remain, and will within thirty (30) days after
notice thereof discharge or cause to be discharged any mortgage, lien,

Owner shall not be liable for any injury to person or property, or for loss of
damage to any automobile or its contents, resulting
42
from theft, collision, vandalism or any other cause whatsoever. Owner shall have
no obligation whatsoever to provide a security guard or any other personnel or
device to patrol, illuminate, monitor, guard or secure any parking area. If,
however, Owner does so provide such guard, personnel or device, it shall be
solely for Owner's convenience, and Owner shall not be liable for any act or
omission of such guard, personnel or device in failing to prevent any such
theft, vandalism, loss injury or damage.

lease, the number of parking spaces and parking rent may be increases or
decreased at the discretion of the Owner. Each such installment of additional
rent shall be remitted at the same time and in the same manner as installments
of base annual rent.

condemnation or in any other manner for any public or quasi public use or
purpose, then Owner may elect to terminate this Lease by written notice sent to

hereunder.

rent for common area maintenance charges, real estate taxes and Tenant
