In the event that the City Council of the City of New York (or any successor governmental agency) shall not have fixed the tax rate for any Tax Year on or before the fifteenth day of the final month of the immediately preceding Tax Year and, therefore, Tenant shall be unable to calculate the PILOT for such Tax Year prior to the commencement of such Tax Year, Tenant shall pay semi-annually (by the date PILOT is due under Section 3.02(a) hereof), as estimated PILOT (the “Estimated PILOT”), an amount equal to the amount required to be paid under this Article on account of PILOT for the second half of the preceding Tax Year.

In the event that the amount of such Estimated PILOT shall exceed the amount of PILOT properly payable for the portion of the Tax Year in respect of which Tenant previously paid such Estimated PILOT, Tenant may credit such excess against (and deduct such excess from) future semi-annual payments of PILOT during such Tax Year, and to the extent if any, that the amount of Tenant’s credit exceeds the next semi-annual installment of PILOT or if the semi-annual payments of PILOT for such Tax Year have been fully paid, Tenant may credit and deduct the amount of the excess from the semi-annual payments of PILOT payable with respect to the next Tax Year(s). Within sixty (60) days after the date on which Tenant shall have advised Landlord of its calculation of PILOT or Corrected PILOT, as the case may be, for a given Tax Year, Landlord shall advise Tenant as to whether Landlord agrees with Tenant’s calculation, with a reasonably detailed statement as to the basis of any disagreement. If Landlord shall advise Tenant that Landlord agrees with Tenant’s calculation or if Landlord shall fail to advise Tenant of its determination within such sixty (60)-day period, Tenant’s calculation shall be the basis for PILOT for that Tax Year (except to the extent that any of (i) one or more of the factors employed in determining the Capped PILOT, (ii) the applicable tax rate, (iii) the AV of the Land for such Tax Year, (iv) the AV of the Building for such Tax Year or (v) the Exemption Base (collectively, the “PILOT Elements”) change or thereafter are finally determined or become known to Tenant and thereby result in a change, or allow Tenant to better calculate, PILOT). If Landlord shall advise Tenant that it disagrees with Tenant’s calculation and shall have delivered such reasonably detailed statement as the

basis therefor, Landlord’s calculation shall be the basis for PILOT for that Tax Year (except to the extent that any of the PILOT Elements change or thereafter are finally determined or become known to Tenant or Landlord and thereby result in a change, or allow Tenant or Landlord to better calculate, PILOT), unless within twenty (20) days after Landlord’s advice to Tenant, Tenant shall notify Landlord of its disagreement with Landlord’s calculation with a reasonably detailed statement as to the basis of any disagreement, in which event Tenant shall pay PILOT in accordance with Landlord’s calculation pending resolution of the dispute. If such dispute shall determine that (i) Tenant overpaid PILOT, then Tenant shall be entitled to a credit against the next installment of PILOT together with interest thereon at the Prime Rate from the date of the overpayment by Tenant until the date on which Tenant applies such credits (and if the Expiration Date shall occur (other than as a result of an Event of Default by Tenant hereunder) prior to Tenant’s ability to apply such credit, then Landlord shall pay the unapplied amount of such credit to Tenant, not later than the Expiration Date, together with interest as aforesaid), or (ii) Tenant underpaid PILOT, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord within ten (10) days after the date of the determination a sum equal to the amount of such underpayment together with interest thereon at the Involuntary Rate from the date of the underpayment by Tenant until the date on which Tenant remits payment to Landlord. If any PILOT Element in respect of a period for which PILOT has already been paid by Tenant shall change and thereby result in a change in PILOT, then (i) if Tenant overpaid PILOT, then Tenant shall be entitled to a credit against the next installment of PILOT together with interest thereon at the Prime Rate from the date of the overpayment by Tenant until the date on which Tenant applies such credits (and if the Expiration Date shall occur prior to Tenant’s ability to apply such credit, then Landlord shall pay the unapplied amount of such credit to Tenant, not later than the Expiration Date, together with interest as aforesaid), or (ii) if Tenant underpaid PILOT, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord a sum equal to the amount of such underpayment together with interest thereon at the Prime Rate from the date of the underpayment by Tenant until the date on which Tenant remits payment to Landlord.

(d) Tenant shall continue to pay the full amount of PILOT required under this Section 3.02, notwithstanding that Tenant may have instituted tax assessment reduction or other actions or proceedings pursuant to Section 4.06 hereof to reduce the assessed valuation of the Premises or any portion thereof. If any such tax reduction or other action or proceeding applicable to any Tax Year shall result in a final determination in Tenant’s favor or other settlement in reduction of such assessment, (i) Tenant shall be entitled to a credit against future PILOT to the extent, if any, that the PILOT previously paid for the Tax Year for which such final determination was made exceeds the PILOT as so determined; and (ii) if such final determination is made for the then current Tax Year, future payments of PILOT for said Tax Year shall be based on the PILOT as so determined. If, at the time Tenant is entitled to receive such a credit, the City of New York is paying interest on refunds of Taxes, Tenant’s credit shall include interest at the rate and for the applicable period then being paid by the City of New York. Tenant shall

be entitled to a refund from Landlord for (A) any credit hereunder which remains unused as of the Expiration Date or (B) any such excess determined after the Expiration Date, in each case less any amounts then owed to Landlord by Tenant hereunder and provided that the Expiration Date does not occur by reason of an Event of Default hereunder.

(e) If Tenant shall obtain a reduction in the tax assessment for any Tax Year, Tenant shall not be entitled to any credit described in Section 3.02(d) unless within one year of the date of the final determination or settlement reducing said assessment Tenant shall have notified Landlord of such determination, with proof of the date of final determination accompanying any such notice. For the purposes of this Section 3.02(e), the “date of the final determination” shall mean: (x) in the case of an assessment reduction as a result of an accepted offer of reduction by the Tax Commission of the City of New York, the date the acceptance of the Tax Commission offer is filed, or (y) in the case of an assessment reduction pursuant to a final order of a court of competent jurisdiction after trial and/or appeal, the date of the entry of such order. The provisions of this Section 3.02(e) shall apply notwithstanding that any other law, rule or regulation would permit a longer or shorter period of time within which Tenant may apply for a refund or credit resulting from the reduction of real property tax assessments.

(f) Provided that Tenant shall have satisfied the requirements of Section 3.02(e), and except for the period beginning on the PILOT Benefit Commencement Date and expiring on the day immediately prior to the twentieth anniversary of such date, then PILOT shall be reduced by an amount equal to the abatement or exemption which would have applied to the Premises under any applicable Tax exemption or abatement program.

(g) Tenant shall not be entitled to any reduction of PILOT pursuant to Section 3.02(f) unless Tenant shall establish to Landlord’s reasonable satisfaction that Tenant has complied with and satisfied all conditions and requirements of all Requirements that would be required in order to obtain for the Premises the benefits of the abatement or exemption referred to therein. Landlord shall cooperate with Tenant’s reasonable requests to execute such documents as are required under the Requirements to be executed by the fee owner of the Premises in connection with any application for the abatement and/or exemption from Taxes described in this Section 3.02; provided, however, Landlord shall not be liable for the payment of any costs or expenses in connection with any such application and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any and all costs or expenses which Landlord may reasonably sustain or incur in connection with any such proceedings, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements.

(h) As used herein, “PILOT Benefit Commencement Date” shall mean July 1, 2007, provided that assessable building infrastructure has not been created at the Project Premises (PILOT) prior to January 5, 2006; otherwise, it shall be the July 1st following the first taxable status date on which the Department of Finance determines under Section 11-209 of the New York City Administrative Code that assessable building infrastructure improvements have been created at the project premises (PILOT);

provided, however, that the Excavation Work shall not by itself constitute or result in the creation of “assessable building infrastructure” for purposes of determining the “PILOT Benefit Commencement Date” hereunder; provided, however, that whether any other work in addition to the Excavation Work performed by Tenant at the Project Premises (PILOT) prior to January 5, 2006 is considered “assessable building infrastructure” will be subject to the actual determination of the Department of Finance.

Section 3.03. Civic Facilities Payment. Tenant shall pay to Landlord the Civic Facilities Payment in accordance with the provisions of Section 26.05.

Section 3.04. Sales Tax Exemptions and PILOST.

(a) During the Initial Sales Tax Period, Landlord shall cooperate with, and make available to, Tenant, Tenant’s affiliates and their contractors and subcontractors, the statutory exemption from Sales and Use Taxes available to Landlord as a public benefit corporation pursuant to section 1116(a)(1) of the New York State Tax Law in connection with the purchase, use, consumption or lease of materials for the construction of the Core and Shell of the Building and the fit-out of the Building (including non-structural dividing walls, raised flooring and other “leasehold” improvements, non-fixture fit out, equipment, technology and furnishings) and materials not otherwise exempt by law, excluding only consumable supplies and parts that contain materials or substances that are consumed in the operation of such property (e.g., a toner cartridge) where such parts must be replaced whenever the substance is consumed. The amount of Sales and Use Tax that Tenant would otherwise have been required to pay but for the exemption provided under the immediately preceding sentence is referred to herein as the “Initial Sales Tax Savings” and shall not exceed Sixty Million Dollars ($60,000,000.00), and the Initial Sales Tax Savings shall be computed, measured and granted independently of the sales tax savings provided pursuant to Section 3.1 of the Project Agreement (the “Project Agreement Sales Tax Savings”) and the Initial Sales Tax Savings shall not be deemed to be Sales Tax Savings or part of the Benefits granted pursuant to the Project Agreement for any purpose, including, without limitation, for the purposes of repayment. The grant to Tenant of the Initial Sales Tax Savings is absolute, irrevocable and not subject to reduction, repayment or recapture, and Tenant shall not be required to pay PILOST or make deposits of any amount into the Payment Escrow in respect of the Initial Sales Tax Savings. Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Lease, Landlord and Tenant shall deliver the Sales Tax Letter set forth in Exhibit L-1 hereto; provided that Landlord’s refusal or failure to deliver such letter shall not affect Tenant’s rights under this section.

(b) Pursuant to the Project Agreement, during each Benefit Period, Landlord shall cooperate with, and make available to, Tenant, Tenant’s affiliates and their contractors and subcontractors, the Project Agreement Sales Tax Savings in connection with Project Costs, and, subject to Sections 3.04(a), 3.04(c), 3.04(d) and 3.06, Tenant shall, subject to any exemptions otherwise available under generally applicable

laws and regulations, make payments to Landlord or to the applicable Governmental Authority in accordance with the Project Agreement if and when the same come due thereunder (“PILOST”).

(c) Until the Escrow Determination Date, Landlord shall cooperate with, and make available to, Tenant, Tenant’s affiliates and their contractors and subcontractors, the statutory exemption from Sales and Use Taxes available to Landlord as a public benefit corporation pursuant to section 1116(a)(1) of the New York State Tax Law in connection with the purchase, use, consumption or lease of all materials for which it is legally permissible to use such exemption, excluding only consumable supplies and parts that contain materials or substances that are consumed in the operation of such property (e.g., a toner cartridge) where such parts must be replaced whenever the substance is consumed. The amount of Sales and Use Tax that Tenant and the Eligible Affiliates would otherwise have been required to pay but for the exemption provided under the immediately preceding sentence is referred to herein as the “Escrow Sales Tax Savings” and shall be invoked, applicable and measured only to the extent that the exemptions provided under Sections 3.04(a) and 3.04(b) hereof are not applicable or Tenant has elected to claim the exemption available under this Section 3.04(c). The Initial Sales Tax Savings and the Project Agreement Sales Tax Savings shall be computed, measured, administered and granted independently of the Escrow Sales Tax Savings and the Initial Sales Tax Savings and the Project Agreement Sales Tax Savings shall not be subject to the provisions of this Section 3.04(c) or Section 3.06(b). If both a Compliant Operational Escrow Determination Date and a Compliant Physical Escrow Determination Date shall occur prior to December 31, 2009 (which date may be extended to not later than March 31, 2010, as long as the Public Parties are proceeding with all necessary diligence to cause the occurrence of a Compliant Physical Escrow Determination Date and/or a Compliant Operational Escrow Determination Date) and provided an Adverse Determination Date shall not have previously occurred, Tenant shall pay Landlord a payment in lieu of sales taxes (the “Escrow Sales Tax Payment”) equal to the aggregate amount of Escrow Sales Tax Savings previously realized by Tenant and the Eligible Affiliates, such payment to be made from the Sales Tax Escrow provided for in Section 3.06(b). Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Lease, Landlord and Tenant shall deliver the Sales Tax Letter set forth in Exhibit L-2 hereto; provided that Landlord’s refusal or failure to deliver such letter shall not affect Tenant’s rights under this section.

(d) From and after the occurrence of (i) an Adverse Physical Escrow Determination Date or (ii) an Adverse Operational Escrow Determination Date (which for purposes of this Section 3.04(d) shall be deemed to include, with respect to the period subsequent to a Compliant Operational Escrow Determination Date but prior to June 30, 2028, the failure to fund or otherwise implement in a material respect any material component of the Plan), until the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Landlord shall cooperate with, and make available to, Tenant and each Subtenant, and their respective affiliates and their

respective contractors and subcontractors, the statutory exemption from Sales and Use Taxes available to Landlord as a public benefit corporation pursuant to Section 1116(a)(1) of the New York State Tax Law in connection with the purchase, use, consumption or lease of all materials for which it is legally permissible to use such exemption, excluding only consumable supplies and parts that contain materials or substances that are consumed in the operation of such property (e.g., a toner cartridge) where such parts must be replaced whenever the substance is consumed, subject to the maximum dollar amount set forth in the next sentence. The amount of Sales and Use Tax that Tenant would otherwise have been required to pay but for the exemption provided under the immediately preceding sentence is referred to herein as the “Permanent Sales Tax Savings” and shall not exceed, from time to time, the sum of (i) One Hundred Sixty Million Dollars ($160,000,000.00) less (ii) the amount of the Sales Tax Escrow paid to Tenant pursuant to Section 3.06(e) hereof, determined in each case on a present-value basis as of January 1, 2006, using a discount rate of 7.75% per annum, and shall not be subject to the recapture or other provisions of the Project Agreement. The grant to Tenant of the Permanent Sales Tax Savings is absolute, irrevocable and not subject to reduction, repayment or recapture and Tenant shall not be required to pay PILOST or make deposits of any amount into the Payment Escrow in respect of the Permanent Sales Tax Savings. Promptly upon the occurrence of an Adverse Determination Date, Landlord and Tenant shall deliver the Sales Tax Letter set forth in Exhibit L-3 hereto; provided that Landlord’s refusal or failure to deliver such letter shall not affect Tenant’s rights under this section.

(e) Upon Tenant’s request, Landlord shall reissue or confirm each Sales Tax Letter within five (5) Business Days.

(f) All goods and property exempt from Sales and Use Tax pursuant to Sections 3.04(a), 3.04(c) or 3.04(d) hereof together with any alterations, substitutions, replacements or repairs of (or additions to) such goods and property are herein referred to collectively as “Exempt Property”. Title to all Exempt Property shall automatically vest in Landlord, as principal, upon the earlier of the delivery of same to the Premises or payment therefor (except that, as provided in Section 11.05(c), for federal, state and local income tax purposes, ownership remains in Tenant). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the title to each item of Exempt Property that is not permanently incorporated into the structure of the Premises shall be automatically conveyed by Landlord to Tenant, and such item of property shall no longer constitute Exempt Property, on the earliest of (x) the date upon which such item shall have been permanently removed from the Premises, (y) the day following the third anniversary of the earliest date upon which the item of Exempt Property shall have been paid for, delivered to or installed at the Premises or (z) the Expiration Date. Each item of Exempt Property conveyed by Landlord to Tenant pursuant to this Section 3.04(f) shall be conveyed AS-IS, WHERE-IS, WITH ALL FAULTS AND WITHOUT REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED.

(g) Tenant acknowledges and agrees that, except as provided herein and under the Project Agreement: (i) there shall be no exemption pursuant to this Lease from Sales and Use Taxes or other similar taxes, other than the exemptions described in this Section 3.04; and (ii) except as may otherwise be available hereunder or under generally applicable laws and regulations (and not laws and regulations applicable to the Tenant solely due to Tenant’s status as lessee under a lease with a tax-exempt entity), no claim shall be made by Tenant or its contractors or their subcontractors for any such additional or other exemption relating to Sales and Use Taxes; provided, however, that nothing in this sentence shall preclude any occupant of the Premises from seeking sales tax or other benefits or shall obligate Landlord to make such benefits available or permit any Subtenant to rely on BPCA’s sales tax exemption without BPCA’s prior written approval except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 3.04(d) hereof; provided, however, that nothing in this sentence shall preclude any occupant of the Premises from seeking sales tax or other benefits from Landlord or other governmental sources, provided that Landlord shall not be obligated to make such benefits available to such occupant and such occupant shall not claim or rely on Landlord’s sales tax exemption without Landlord’s prior written permission except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 3.04(d) .

(h) Compliance with New York State Department of Taxation and Finance Agency Requirements.

(i) Without limiting or otherwise altering the covenants, contractual obligations, and agreements set forth in this Lease, including, without limitation, the general requirements of cooperation and good faith, Landlord, Tenant, and Tenant’s Affiliates agree to cooperate and take such further acts as are necessary to properly document the agency relationship created in furtherance of this Lease in accordance with the requirements of the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance.

(ii) In accordance with New York State Department of Taxation and Finance Publication 765, entitled Sales and Fuel Excise Tax Information for Properly Appointed Agents of New York Governmental Entities, and Technical Services Bureau Memorandum TSB-M-05(6)S, entitled Purchases By New York Governmental Entities Through Properly Appointed Agents, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant (and upon written request to each of Tenant’s Affiliates) with each of the three Sales Tax Letters contemplated by this Lease and each renewal of such Sales Tax Letters a fully completed and properly executed Form DTF-122 Certification of Agency Appointment by a New York Governmental Agency or any applicable substitute or successor form.

(iii) Tenant and each of Tenant’s Affiliates are authorized to issue Form ST-122 Exempt Purchase Certificate for an Agent of a New York Governmental Entity or any applicable substitute or successor form during the

effectiveness of the Sales Tax Letters contemplated by this Lease and in furtherance of their purchases made as agent on behalf of Landlord in accordance with the terms of this Lease.

(iv) In recognition of Tenant’s obligation to construct the Building, which will be Landlord’s property, Landlord and Tenant agree that, immediately prior to Tenant or Tenant’s Affiliates making of any payment as agent on behalf of Landlord to any vendor of a good or service pursuant to the agencies created hereby, the funds to be so paid shall be (i) deemed to have been paid by Tenant to Landlord as additional rent hereunder and (ii) advanced to Tenant or Tenant’s Affiliate, as appropriate, for payment to such vendor so that the funds paid to such vendor by Tenant or Tenant’s Affiliates on behalf of Landlord are, in all instances, Landlord’s funds.

(v) Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that this Lease (i) appoints Tenant and Tenant’s Affiliates the agents of Landlord, (ii) describes the scope of the agencies created hereby, (iii) provides Landlord with control over the actions of Tenant and Tenant’s Affiliates when acting in their agency capacity, (iv) requires the disclosure of the agencies created hereby to third party vendors and the acknowledgement of such agency status by such vendors, and (v) permits no use or consumption of a good or service acquired by Tenant or Tenant’s Affiliates when acting as agent on behalf of Landlord until after ownership of such good has passed to Landlord.

(i) Each exemption from Sales and Use Taxes made available pursuant to this Section 3.04 shall be administered pursuant to the Project Agreement and is subject to the condition subsequent that Tenant and Tenant’s Affiliates comply with the material reporting, record keeping, and procedural provisions set forth in Section 3.17 of the Project Agreement. Tenant shall be provided with written notice by NYCEDC of any deficiency or other circumstances that would, if not corrected, give rise to a default in the reporting, record keeping, and procedural provisions set forth in Section 3.17 of the Project Agreement and a ninety (90) day period within which to correct such deficiency or other circumstances.

(j) It is the intent of Landlord and Tenant to create an agency relationship whereby Tenant and the Eligible Affiliates shall carry out the Project, including (i) the acquisition of (x) the materials to be used and consumed in the construction of the Building, (y) the Equipment, and (z) the Exempt Property, (ii) construction of the Building, and (iii) fit-out of the Building on behalf of Landlord and that the Building, as and when constructed, the materials to be used and consumed in the construction of the Building, the Equipment, and the Exempt Property, as and when acquired, shall be the property of Landlord, and that all purchases made in furtherance of such agency delegation shall be made by Tenant and the Eligible Affiliates on behalf of Landlord. Landlord and Tenant (i) shall seek the written acknowledgement of the agency relationship created pursuant to this Lease, including this Section 3.04(j), from the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance and (ii) shall take such further actions and execute such further documents as are necessary and appropriate to document the agency

relationship created hereby and obtain the written acknowledgement of the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance that the legal relationship, procedures, and administration set forth herein and in the Project Agreement confer the exemptions from Sales and Use Taxes contemplated by this Section 3.04(j), including the Sales Tax Savings.

Section 3.05. Rental Generally. All amounts required to be paid by Tenant pursuant to this Lease, including, without limitation, Base Rent, PILOT, Impositions, PILOST and Civic Facilities Payments (collectively, “Rental”), shall constitute rent under this Lease. Rental shall be absolutely net to Landlord without any abatement, deduction, counterclaim, set-off or offset whatsoever except as specifically set forth in this Lease, so that, except as otherwise specifically set forth in this Lease, (x) this Lease shall yield, net, to Landlord, Rental in each year during the Term and (y) Tenant shall pay all costs, expenses and charges of every kind and nature relating to the Premises (except Taxes, if any, and the cost of constructing and maintaining Landlord’s Civic Facilities) which may arise or become due or payable during or after (but attributable to a period falling within) the Term.

Section 3.06. Escrow of Certain Payments.

(a) Immediately after Landlord’s receipt of the Base Rent, Landlord shall deposit the entire amount thereof into the Payment Escrow and Tenant is hereby directed to wire the Base Rent to the Payment Escrow Agent on behalf of Landlord. The portion of the Payment Escrow comprising the Base Rent, including the allocable interest thereon, is referred to herein as the “Ground Lease Payments Escrow.”

(b) To secure Tenant’s obligation pursuant to Section 3.04(c) to make an Escrow Sales Tax Payment upon the occurrence of a Compliant Physical Escrow Determination Date and Compliant Operational Escrow Determination Date, Tenant shall, within twenty (20) days after the end of each calendar quarter, deposit in the Payment Escrow an amount equal to the Escrow Sales Tax Savings, if any, realized by Tenant during such calendar quarter. The portion of the Payment Escrow comprising the Escrow Sales Tax Savings including the allocable interest thereon is referred to herein as the “Sales Tax Escrow.”

(c) The amounts required to be deposited in the Payment Escrow pursuant to this Section 3.06 shall be deposited with a single escrow agent which shall be Citibank, JPMorgan Chase, HSBC or an affiliate of one of the foregoing (the “Payment Escrow Agent”) pursuant to an escrow agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit N with such modifications thereto as the escrow agent may reasonably request (the “Payment Escrow Agreement”). The escrow so established is referred to herein as the “Payment Escrow”. The reasonable and customary costs and expenses of the Payment Escrow Agent including the Payment Escrow Agent’s fees and account fees shall be borne by Tenant, but each of Landlord and Tenant will be obligated to indemnify the Payment Escrow

Agent for its losses or claims in accordance with usual and customary escrow agreement provisions. All interest accruing on the amounts in the Payment Escrow shall be retained in the escrow account established pursuant to Section 1.3 of the Payment Escrow Agreement (“Payment Escrow Fund”), constitute part of the Payment Escrow and be disbursed by the Payment Escrow Agent in accordance with the other terms of the Payment Escrow Agreement relating to the other amounts in the Payment Escrow Fund. (Landlord and Tenant agree that interest or other income earned on the Payment Escrow during any period shall be allocated as between the Ground Lease Escrow and the Sales Tax Escrow based on the relative percentage that each of the Ground Lease Escrow and the Sales Tax Escrow bore to the Payment Escrow during such period).

(d) The Sales Tax Escrow shall be payable to Landlord in satisfaction of Tenant’s obligation to make an Escrow Sales Tax Payment if, prior to December 31, 2009 (which date may be extended to not later than March 31, 2010, as long as the Public Parties are proceeding with all necessary diligence to cause the occurrence of a Compliant Physical Escrow Determination Date and/or a Compliant Operational Escrow Determination Date), there shall have occurred both a Compliant Physical Escrow Determination Date and a Compliant Operational Escrow Determination Date.

(e) The Sales Tax Escrow shall be payable to Tenant, and Tenant and the Eligible Affiliates shall be relieved of any obligation to make Escrow Sales Tax Payments, if there shall occur either an Adverse Physical Escrow Determination Date or an Adverse Operational Escrow Determination Date.

(f) The Ground Lease Payments Escrow shall be payable to Landlord if, prior to December 31, 2009 (which date may be extended to not later than March 31, 2010, as long as the City is proceeding with all necessary diligence to cause the occurrence of a Compliant City Operational Escrow Determination Date), there shall have occurred a Compliant City Operational Escrow Determination Date.

(g) The Ground Lease Payments Escrow shall be payable to Tenant as an adjustment of Rent, if there shall occur an Adverse City Operational Escrow Determination Date.

(h) Upon the occurrence of (i) an Adverse Operational Escrow Determination Date (which for purposes of this Section 3.06(h) shall be deemed to include, with respect to the period subsequent to a Compliant Operational Escrow Determination Date but prior to June 30, 2028, the failure to fund or otherwise implement in a material respect any material component of the Plan), or (ii) a Modified Adverse Physical Escrow Determination Date, clause (v) of Section 3.02(b) shall be of no further force or effect.

(i) The parties acknowledge that a material inducement for Tenant to enter into this Lease is its rights under this Section 3.06 and its retention of the benefits associated with the Payment Escrow and that if an Adverse Determination Date occurs it would result in the impairment of the value of Tenant’s leasehold interest hereunder and that the amount of such impairment upon the occurrence of an Adverse Determination Date would not be reasonably susceptible of calculation. The parties further acknowledge and agree that the payments to Tenant provided under clauses (e) and (g) of this Section 3.06, together with the other rights Tenant has hereunder and under the other agreements being executed contemporaneously herewith upon the occurrence of an Adverse Determination Date, constitute a fair and equitable adjustment in Tenant’s rental and other obligations hereunder and thereunder and a reasonable estimate of the potential impairment in the value of Tenant’s leasehold interest and other rights upon any such occurrence.

(j) The dates and time requirements contained in clauses (d)-(h) of this Section 3.06 or referred to or incorporated in the definitions of “Adverse Operational Escrow Determination Date” and “Adverse City Operational Escrow Determination Date” shall be extended to the extent required for delays affecting the development or implementation of the Plan in accordance with the procedures and time requirements in the Xxxxxxxxx Letter that result from force majeure as described in clause (2) of Section 3.06(k) below, but otherwise, time shall be of the essence with respect to such dates and time requirements. Further, the dates and time requirements contained in clauses (d)-(h) of this Section 3.06 in respect of an Adverse Physical Escrow Determination Date, a Modified Adverse Physical Escrow Determination Date or a Compliant Physical Escrow Determination Date or referred to or incorporated in the definitions of “Adverse Physical Escrow Determination Date”, “Modified Adverse Physical Escrow Determination Date” or “Compliant Physical Escrow Determination Date” shall be extended to the extent required for delays affecting the completion of the Specific Downtown Projects (as described on Schedule 1 hereto) in accordance with the Proposal and to the extent specified on said Schedule 1, that result from force majeure as described in clauses (1), (2) and (3) of Section 3.06(k)

(k) As used in clause (j) of this Section 3.06, “force majeure” means:

	1.		a natural phenomenon or casualty that affects completion of the Specific Downtown Projects,

	2.		a Federal, State or City law or court ruling, provided that the State and the City shall have exercised their best efforts to prevent such law or ruling. Such efforts include (without limitation) the following:

with respect to any law,

no State or City executive officer shall have introduced or initiated, or otherwise materially supported, the same,

	ii.		State and City executive officers shall have affirmatively opposed and lobbied against the legislation (and cooperated with GS in connection therewith),

	iii.		any available vetoes on the part of the State and City were exercised,

	iv.		promptly upon the enactment of such legislation, the State and City shall have initiated and thereafter diligently prosecuted all reasonable legal challenges to the same, until the rendering of a final non-appealable judgment from the highest court of competent jurisdiction, and

with respect to any legal ruling, the State and City shall have promptly undertaken and initiated a defense and thereafter diligently prosecuted the same to final non-appealable judgment in the highest court of competent jurisdiction, or

strikes, lockouts or other industrial disturbances, acts of the public enemy, insurrections, riots, epidemics, civil disturbances, explosions, partial or entire failure of utilities, shortages of labor, material, supplies or transportation, or any other similar or different cause not reasonably within the control of the party claiming such inability, and as long as such event has a physical impact and/or directly retards the progress of the construction site projects and the parties seeking relief have taken all such reasonable steps to avoid such event and to mitigate the delay resulting therefrom, including the expenditure of funds. In no event will the extension of time to be provided for hereunder exceed the actual duration of such force majeure event.

Provided that, with respect to any legal challenge or defense per the above, the City and State shall have used all reasonable good faith efforts to provide Tenant and its counsel with the right to participate and otherwise shall have consulted regularly and meaningfully with Tenant and its counsel as to all aspects thereof.

ARTICLE 4

IMPOSITIONS

Section 4.01. Payment of Impositions. Tenant shall pay, as hereinafter provided, all of the following items (collectively, “Impositions”) imposed by any Governmental Authority (other than a Governmental Authority acting solely in its capacity as a party in the chain of title (i.e., Landlord or facilitator of Initial Sales Tax Savings, Project Agreement Sales Tax Savings, Escrow Sales Tax Savings or Permanent Sales Tax Savings) and not as a Governmental Authority) and which at any time during the Term are, or, if the Premises or any part thereof or the owner thereof were not exempt therefrom, would have been (1) assessed, levied, confirmed, imposed upon or would have become due and payable out of or in respect of, or would have been charged with respect to, the Premises or any document to which Tenant is a party creating or transferring an interest or estate in the Premises, or the use and occupancy thereof by Tenant and (2) encumbrances or liens, except for Landlord’s Liens, on (i) the Premises, or (ii) the sidewalks or streets in front of or adjoining the Premises, or (iii) any vault (other than a vault in respect of which a utility company is obligated to pay any charge specified above or which is exempt from any such charge by reason of use thereof by any such utility company), passageway or space in, over or under such sidewalk or street, or (iv) any other appurtenances of the Premises, or (v) any personal property (except personal property which is not owned by or leased to Tenant) or Equipment used in the operation thereof, or (vi) the Rental (or any portion thereof) payable by Tenant hereunder: (a) real property assessments (not including Taxes), (b) personal property taxes, (c) subject to Section 4.09, occupancy and rent taxes, (d) water, water meter and sewer rents, rates and charges, (e) excises, (f) levies, (g) license and permit fees, (h) service charges with respect to police protection, fire protection, street and highway construction, maintenance and lighting, sanitation and water supply, if any, (i) fines, penalties and other similar or like governmental charges applicable to the foregoing and any interest or costs with respect thereto, and (j) except for Taxes, any and all other governmental levies, fees, rents, assessments or taxes and charges, general and special, ordinary and extraordinary, foreseen and unforeseen, of any kind and nature whatsoever, including, without limitation, any tax (including transfer taxes) attributable to the execution, delivery or recording of this Lease, and any interest or costs with respect thereto, each such Imposition, or installment thereof, during the Term to be paid not later than the Due Date thereof. “Impositions” shall not include Sales and Use Taxes, which are covered under Article III. Tenant shall pay (A) directly to the applicable Governmental Authority, all Impositions that are actually imposed, and (B) to the applicable Governmental Authority, or to Landlord, all Impositions which would have been imposed if the Premises or any part thereof or the owner thereof were not exempt therefrom, which Impositions described in this clause (B) shall be paid not later than the date which would have been the Due Date thereof but for such exemption. However, if, by law, any Imposition may at the option of the taxpayer be paid in installments (whether or not interest shall accrue on the unpaid balance of such Imposition), Tenant may exercise the option to pay the same in such installments and shall be responsible for the payment of such installments only, together with applicable interest, if any, provided that all such installment payments together with applicable

interest, if any, relating to periods prior to the date definitely fixed in Article 2 hereof for the expiration of the Term shall be made prior to the Expiration Date. Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord if Tenant shall have elected to pay any such Imposition in installments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, “Impositions” shall not include amounts that would otherwise be classified as Impositions hereunder but are imposed by Battery Park City Authority or any successor to or subsidiary of Battery Park City Authority, or any other Governmental Authority acting in its capacity as a party in the chain of title (i.e., Landlord) and not as a Governmental Authority. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, Tenant shall not be required to pay any charges or taxes, or any fines, penalties or other similar or like governmental charges applicable thereto, which are imposed in lieu of real property taxes specifically against properties which are exempt from the payment of real property taxes.

Section 4.02. Receipts. Tenant, from time to time, within fifteen (15) days following the request of Landlord, shall furnish to Landlord copies of official receipts of the appropriate imposing authority, or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, evidencing the payment of Impositions.

Section 4.03. Taxes. If the Premises shall at any time become subject to Taxes, Landlord shall pay the Taxes on or before the Due Date thereof. In no event shall Tenant be obligated to pay Taxes. Landlord shall have the right to contest the imposition of Taxes, and pending such contest, if permitted by applicable law, Landlord shall not be required to pay the Taxes being so contested if, and only so long as, (i) neither the Premises nor any part thereof, or interest therein would by reason of such postponement or deferment, be, in the reasonable judgment of Landlord, in imminent danger of being forfeited or lost, (ii) Tenant’s interest under this Lease would not by reason of such postponement or deferment be, in the reasonable judgment of Tenant, in imminent danger of being forfeited or lost, (iii) neither Landlord nor Tenant would by reason thereof be subject to any criminal liability and Tenant would not by reason thereof be subject to any civil liability unless Landlord shall deliver to Tenant its indemnity therefor, and (iv) Landlord promptly commences such contest and diligently prosecutes the same to completion. If Landlord shall exercise its right to contest the imposition of Taxes, Landlord shall promptly notify Tenant of such contest, and, at Tenant’s request, shall deliver to Tenant copies of all applications, protest and other documents submitted by Landlord to any Governmental Authority. Landlord shall not, without Tenant’s consent, enter into a settlement of any such contest if such settlement would increase, or would have a reasonable risk of increasing, either immediately or over time, the amount of PILOT payable by Tenant under this Lease over the amount that would have been payable but for such settlement. Tenant shall be entitled to participate in any settlement discussions at the expense of Tenant and, if any such contest involves the determination of the assessed valuation of the Premises, then Tenant’s consent to such settlement shall also be required. If Landlord shall have failed to pay the Taxes as required hereunder and shall not have timely commenced a proceeding to contest same, or shall have timely commenced a proceeding to contest the Taxes but shall have failed to diligently prosecute the same or shall have timely commenced such a proceeding but the failure to pay the Taxes during the pendency of such proceeding will result, in Tenant’s reasonable judgment, in

the imminent termination of Tenant’s interest under this Lease or Tenant would by reason thereof be subject to any civil or criminal penalty or liability, then Tenant may pay such unpaid Taxes together with any interest or penalties thereon and deduct such payment and interest from the next installment of PILOT (and, to the extent, if any, that such payment shall exceed the next installment of PILOT, from the next installment(s) of Rental payable to Landlord) together with interest thereon at the Involuntary Rate for the period beginning on the date on which Tenant actually makes such payment and ending on the date on which Tenant either exercised, or had the right under the above provisions of this sentence to exercise, its offset right as aforesaid.

Nothing in this Lease shall require Tenant to pay municipal, state or federal income, gross receipts, inheritance, estate, succession, profit or capital gains taxes of Landlord, or any corporate franchise tax imposed upon Landlord, or any transfer or gains tax imposed on Landlord or any other taxes of the same or similar import now or hereafter enacted or imposed upon Landlord or resulting from any transfer by Landlord.

Section 4.04. Partial Periods. Any Imposition relating to a period a part of which is included within the period of time commencing on or after the Commencement Date, and a part of which is included in a period of time before the Commencement Date or after the date definitely fixed in Article 2 hereof for the expiration of the Term or sooner termination of this Lease (whether or not such Imposition shall be assessed, levied, confirmed, imposed upon or in respect of or become a lien upon the Premises, or shall become payable, during the Term) shall be apportioned between Landlord and Tenant as of the Commencement Date or such date definitely fixed for the expiration of the Term, as the case may be, so that Tenant shall pay only that portion of such Imposition that would have been payable on a per diem basis, based upon the fiscal year of the Imposition, for the period of time commencing on or after the Commencement Date or occurring before such date definitely fixed in Article 2 for the expiration of the Term or sooner termination of this Lease and Landlord shall pay the remainder thereof. Other than in respect of Impositions relating, in part, to a period of time before the Commencement Date, no such apportionment of Impositions shall be made if this Lease is terminated prior to the Expiration Date as the result of an Event of Default.

Section 4.05. Imposition Contests. Tenant shall have the right to contest the amount or validity, in whole or in part, of any Imposition by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted in good faith, in which event, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4.01 hereof, payment of such Imposition shall be postponed if, and only as long as: (i) neither the Premises nor any part thereof, or interest therein or any income therefrom (except to the extent covered by security deposited in accordance with this Section 4.05) or any other assets of or funds appropriated to Landlord would by reason of such postponement or deferment, be, in the reasonable judgment of Landlord, in imminent danger of being forfeited or lost or subject to any lien, encumbrance or charge, and neither Landlord nor Tenant would by reason thereof be subject to any criminal liability; and (ii) if the amount of the contested Imposition is at least Five Million and 00/100 Dollars ($5,000,000) (such amount to be adjusted on the fifth anniversary of the Commencement Date and on each fifth (5th) anniversary of the date on which an adjustment

is made by adding to Five Million and 00/100 Dollars ($5,000,000) an amount equal to the product of (x) Five Million and 00/100 Dollars ($5,000,000) and (y) the percent of increase, if any, in the Consumer Price Index for the month in which the applicable anniversary date occurs over the Consumer Price Index for the month in which the Commencement Date occurs), Tenant shall have deposited with Depository, cash, a Qualifying Guaranty or other security reasonably satisfactory to Landlord in an amount equal to the amount by which (x) the amount so contested and unpaid, together with all interest and penalties in connection therewith and all charges that may or might be assessed against or become a charge on the Premises or any part thereof in such proceedings exceeds (y) Five Million and 00/100 Dollars ($5,000,000) (as such amount may be increased from time to time pursuant to the terms hereof).

Upon the termination of such proceedings, it shall be the obligation of Tenant to pay the amount of such Imposition or part thereof as finally determined in such proceedings, the payment of which may have been deferred during the prosecution of such proceedings, together with any costs, fees (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements), interest, penalties or other liabilities in connection therewith, and upon such payment, Depository shall return, with interest, if any, any amount deposited with it as aforesaid, provided, however, that Depository at Tenant’s request or upon Tenant’s failure to do so in a timely manner, at Landlord’s request but on not less than ten (10) days’ notice to Tenant, shall disburse said monies on deposit with it directly to the Governmental Authority to whom such Imposition is payable and any remaining monies, with interest, if any, shall be returned promptly to Tenant. If, at any time during the continuance of such proceedings, Landlord shall, in its reasonable opinion, deem insufficient the amount or security deposited as aforesaid, Tenant, within fifteen (15) days after demand, shall make an additional deposit of such additional sums or other acceptable security as Landlord may reasonably request, and upon failure of Tenant to do so, the amount theretofore deposited may be applied at the request of Landlord to the payment, removal and discharge of such Imposition and the interest and penalties in connection therewith and any costs, fees (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements) or other liability accruing in any such proceedings, and the balance, if any, with any interest earned thereon, shall be returned to Tenant or the deficiency, if any, shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord within ten (10) days after demand.

Section 4.06. Assessment Reductions. Subject to Landlord’s rights under Section 4.03, Tenant shall have the exclusive right to seek a reduction in the valuation of the Premises assessed for Taxes and to prosecute any action or proceeding in connection therewith, provided that no such action or proceeding shall postpone Tenant’s obligation to pay any Imposition except in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.05 hereof. Except to the extent provided in Sections 3.02 and 4.03 hereof, no such action or proceeding shall affect Tenant’s obligation to pay any installment of PILOT. If Tenant is not entitled to seek such reduction in the same manner as lessees of non-exempt real property in the County of New York because the Premises are wholly or partially exempt from such taxes, then Tenant may commence a proceeding in the Supreme Court, New York County (or any successor court of similar jurisdiction) to determine whether such a reduction would have been appropriate in the absence of such exemption. Tenant shall join the taxing authority and Landlord, at no cost or expense to

Landlord, as parties in that proceeding, but any judgment or decree in that proceeding beyond the right of appeal shall be binding and conclusive upon Landlord and Tenant whether or not the taxing authority is removed as a party to that proceeding by order of that or any superior court.

Section 4.07. Landlord Involvement. Landlord shall not be required to join in any proceedings referred to in Section 4.05 or 4.06 hereof unless the provisions of any law, rule or regulation at the time in effect shall require that Landlord join in such proceedings or that such proceedings be brought by or in the name of Landlord, in which event, Landlord shall join and cooperate in such proceedings or permit the same to be brought in its name but shall not be liable for the payment of any costs or expenses in connection with any such proceedings and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any and all costs or expenses which Landlord may reasonably sustain or incur in connection with any such proceedings, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements.

Section 4.08. Evidence of Non-Payment. Any certificate, advice or xxxx of the appropriate official designated by law to make or issue the same or to receive payment of any Imposition, asserting non-payment of such Imposition, shall be prima facie evidence that such Imposition is due and unpaid at the time of the making or issuance of such certificate, advice or xxxx, at the time or date stated therein.

Section 4.09. Commercial Rent or Occupancy Tax. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, including Section 3.02(b) and Section 4.01, Landlord hereby agrees that if Tenant shall pay the New York City commercial rent or occupancy tax imposed by section 11-702 of the New York City Administrative Code or any replacement or successor imposition (“CROT”) in respect of the Base Rent, provided that such payment of CROT is not made under protest or is otherwise made pursuant to a final order, then Tenant shall be entitled to credits in the aggregate amount of CROT so paid, up to an aggregate amount of $6,000,000 against its next payment or payments of PILOT, plus interest at 7.75% per annum, with respect to such portion of the credit that remains unapplied from time to time, from the date of such CROT payment by Tenant to the date Tenant has applied such credit in full. PILOT shall be calculated prior to the application of any credit provided for in this Section 4.09.

ARTICLE 5

DEPOSITS FOR IMPOSITIONS

Section 5.01. Escrow of Impositions.

(a) In order to assure the payment of all Impositions, Tenant, upon the demand of Landlord at any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder that arises from Tenant’s failure to pay Rental in accordance with Section 24.01(a), shall deposit with Depository on the first day of each month during the Term, an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12^th) of the annual Impositions then in effect.

(b) If at any time the monies so deposited by Tenant shall be insufficient to pay the next installment of Impositions then due, Tenant shall, after demand therefor by Landlord deposit the amount of the insufficiency with Depository to enable Depository to pay the next installment of Impositions at least thirty (30) days prior to the Due Date thereof.

(c) Depository shall hold the deposited monies in a segregated, non-commingled, special account for the purpose of paying the charges for which such amounts have been deposited as they become due, and Depository shall apply the deposited monies for such purpose not later than the Due Date for such charges.

(d) If at any time the amount of any Imposition is increased or Landlord receives a notice from the entity or entities imposing such Imposition that an Imposition will be increased and the monthly deposits then being made by Tenant under this Section 5.01 would be insufficient to pay such Imposition thirty (30) days prior to the Due Date thereof, then upon notice from Landlord to Tenant of such fact, the monthly deposits shall thereupon be increased and Tenant shall deposit immediately with Depository sufficient monies for the payment of the increased Imposition. Thereafter, the monthly payments shall be adjusted so that Depository shall receive from Tenant sufficient monies to pay each Imposition at least thirty (30) days prior to the Due Date of such Imposition.

(e) For the purpose of determining whether Depository has on hand sufficient monies to pay any particular Imposition at least thirty (30) days prior to the Due Date thereof, deposits for each category of Imposition shall be treated separately. Depository shall not be obligated to use monies deposited for the payment of an Imposition not yet due and payable for the payment of an Imposition that is due and payable.

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) monies deposited under this Lease may be held by Depository in a single bank account that satisfies the requirements of Section 5.01(c), and (ii) Depository shall, at Landlord’s option and direction and if

Tenant shall fail to make any payment or perform any obligation required under this Lease, use any monies deposited pursuant to Article 4 or 5 for the payment of any Rental.

(g) If this Lease shall be terminated by reason of any Event of Default or if dispossession occurs pursuant to Section 24.03(b), all deposited monies under this Article 5 then held by Depository shall be paid to and applied by Landlord in payment of any and all sums due and payable by Tenant under this Lease and Tenant shall promptly pay the resulting deficiency. If there is any excess in the monies held by Depository upon the expiration or any earlier termination of this Lease, then Landlord shall direct the Depository to pay Tenant upon the termination or expiration of this Lease the excess, if any, of the deposited monies under this Article 5 over any sums due and payable by Tenant under this Lease.

(h) Any interest paid on monies deposited pursuant to this Article 5 shall be applied pursuant to the foregoing provisions against amounts thereafter becoming due and payable by Tenant or, upon termination or expiration of this Lease, shall be promptly returned to Tenant.

(i) Anything in this Article 5 to the contrary notwithstanding, if the Event of Default which gave rise to Landlord having demanded that Tenant make deposits under this Section 5.01 shall have been cured by Tenant and for a period of six (6) consecutive months following such cure no Event of Default shall have occurred that arises from Tenant’s failure to comply with the provisions of Article 4 of this Lease, then, at any time after the expiration of such six (6) month period, promptly upon the demand of Tenant, provided that no subsequent uncured Event of Default shall have occurred under Article 4 of this Lease and at such time Tenant is current in the payment of Rental, all monies deposited under this Article 5 then held by Depository, with the interest, if any, accrued thereon, shall be returned to Tenant and Tenant shall not be required to make further deposits under this Article 5 unless and until there shall occur a subsequent Event of Default and Landlord shall make demand upon Tenant to make deposits for Impositions.

(j) In the event that a Mortgagee shall require Tenant to deposit funds to insure payment of Impositions, any amount so deposited by Tenant with such Mortgagee or with such Mortgagee’s designee shall be credited against the amount, if any, which Tenant would otherwise be required to deposit under this Article 5, provided that such Mortgagee shall have agreed in writing, for the benefit of Landlord and pursuant to an instrument satisfactory to Landlord, to have such funds held in a segregated, non-commingled special account for the payment of Impositions and otherwise in accordance with Section 5.01(f), and that the Mortgagee shall use, or direct the use of, such funds to pay Impositions as and when same are required to be paid hereunder and for no other purpose; provided, however, that any sums so held and attributable to Impositions previously paid may be released to Tenant or applied for other purposes.

Section 5.02. Transfer of Premises. If Landlord shall transfer all of its interest in the Premises in accordance with Section 10.12 hereof, Landlord shall transfer to the Person who acquires such interest in the Premises, all of Landlord’s rights with respect to the deposits made pursuant to Section 5.01. Upon such transfer and notice thereof to Tenant, the transferor shall be released from all liability with respect thereto, such transferee shall be deemed to have assumed all of Landlord’s obligations with respect to such deposits and Tenant shall look solely to the transferee with respect thereto. The provisions hereof shall apply to each successive transfer of the deposits.

Section 5.03. No Landlord Liability. Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant arising out of, or related to, any acts or omissions of Depository, except to the extent that same relate to monies wrongfully received or retained by Landlord in violation of this Lease.

ARTICLE 6

LATE CHARGES

In the event that any payment of Rental shall not be received on or before the tenth (10^th) day after the due date thereof (or if no such date is set forth in this Lease, then such due date for purposes of this Article 6 shall be deemed to be the date upon which demand therefor is made), then, in addition to any reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection therewith (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) interest on the sums so overdue equal to the Involuntary Rate, for the period from the due date to the date of actual payment, shall become due and payable to Landlord as Rental to be paid under this Lease; provided, however, that Tenant shall not be obligated to pay such interest in respect of the first installment of PILOT, unless the same shall remain unpaid five (5) Business Days after Tenant receives notice from Landlord that the same is overdue. Said interest shall be payable by Tenant within ten (10) days after demand. No failure by Landlord to insist upon the strict performance by Tenant of its obligations to pay said interest shall constitute a waiver by Landlord of its right to enforce the provisions of this Article 6 in any instance thereafter occurring. The provisions of this Article 6 shall not be construed in any way to extend the grace periods or notice periods provided for in Article 24.

ARTICLE 7

INSURANCE

Section 7.01. Insurance Requirements.

(i) keep or cause to be kept the Building insured under (x) an “All Risk of Physical Loss” form of policy (as in effect from time to time) including, regardless of whether one or more of such coverages are from time to time from an “All Risk of Physical Loss” form of policy, coverage for loss or damage by water, flood, subsidence and earthquake (excluding, at Tenant’s option, from such coverage normal settling only) and (y) when and to the extent obtainable from the United States government or any agency thereof, war risks; such insurance to be written on an “Agreed Amount” basis, with full replacement cost (having sublimits of $10,000,000 for flood coverage and $10,000,000 for earthquake coverage), with the replacement value of the Building to be determined from time to time, but not less frequently than required by the insurer and in any event at least once every three (3) years, it being agreed that no omission on the part of Landlord to request any such determination shall relieve Tenant of its obligation to determine the replacement value thereof (in the absence of such valuation, the FM (Factory Mutual) or IRI (Industrial Risk Insurers) Indices will be applied);

(ii) provide and keep in force, or cause to be provided and kept in force, commercial general liability insurance against liability for bodily injury, death and property damage, it being agreed that such insurance shall (A) be in an amount not less then One Hundred Million and 00/100 Dollars ($100,000,000) combined single limit inclusive of primary, umbrella and following form excess policies for liability for bodily injury, death and property damage, (B) include the Premises, (C) provide blanket automatic contractual insurance covering the indemnification provisions assumed by Tenant hereunder, including bodily injury to employees or others assumed by Tenant under contract, which insurance shall cover all costs, expenses and/or liability (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) arising out of or based upon claims, accidents and injuries mentioned in Article 19 and required to be insured against hereunder, and (D) include the following protections:

(vi) provide and keep in force boiler and machinery insurance in an amount as may from time to time be reasonably determined by Landlord but not less than Ten Million and 00/100 Dollars ($10,000,000) per accident on a combined basis covering direct property loss and loss of income and covering all steam, mechanical and electrical equipment, including, without limitation, all boilers, unfired pressure vessels, air conditioning equipment, elevators, piping and wiring;

primary, umbrella and following form excess policies for bodily injury, death and property damage; and

(viii) provide and keep in force (x) such other insurance in such amounts as may from time to time be reasonably required by Landlord against such other insurable hazards as at the time are commonly insured against by prudent owners of like buildings and improvements in the Borough of Manhattan, and (y) in the case of Section 7.01(a)(ii), such insurance in such greater amounts as may from time to time be reasonably required by Landlord and are commonly obtained by prudent owners of like buildings and improvements in the Borough of Manhattan.

(b) All insurance provided by Tenant as required by Section 7.01(a) (except the insurance under Section 7.01(a)(iii)) shall name Tenant as named insured and Landlord as an additional insured to the extent of Landlord’s insurable interest in the Premises and shall be primary with respect to any other coverage which Landlord may obtain. (Landlord’s coverage shall be in excess of any coverage provided in favor of Landlord by Tenant.) The coverage provided by Tenant as required by Sections 7.01(a)(i), (ii), (v), (vi) and (vii) also may name each Mortgagee as an additional insured (under a standard mortgagee endorsement, other than with respect to the liability insurance coverage referred to in Section 7.01(a)(ii), with respect to which a standard mortgagee endorsement is inapplicable), provided that such Mortgagee irrevocably agrees in writing for the benefit of Landlord that all proceeds of such insurance shall be applied in accordance with the terms of this Lease.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 7.01, Section 7.02(g) or Section 11.03, whenever Tenant shall be required to carry insurance under this Section 7.01 or Section 11.03, Tenant shall not be required to carry insurance in any greater amounts or against any additional hazards, risks or liabilities (including those customarily excluded from coverage) than at the time are commonly carried by prudent owners of like buildings and improvements, in the Borough of Manhattan.

Section 7.02. Payment of Insurance Proceeds.

(a) The loss under all policies required by any provision of this Lease insuring against damage to the Building by fire or other casualty shall be payable to Depository, except that amounts of Five Million and 00/100 Dollars ($5,000,000) or less shall be payable in trust directly to Tenant for application to the cost of Restoration in accordance with Article 8 hereof. Such amount shall be adjusted on the fifth (5^th) anniversary of the Commencement Date and on each fifth (5^th) anniversary of the date on which an adjustment is made pursuant to this Section 7.02(a) by adding to Five Million and 00/100 Dollars ($5,000,000) an amount equal to the product of (x) Five Million and 00/100 Dollars ($5,000,000) and (y) the percent of increase, if any, in the Consumer Price Index for the month in which the applicable anniversary date occurs over the Consumer

Price Index for the month in which the Commencement Date occurs. Any dispute as to the calculation of such adjustment shall be determined by arbitration pursuant to Article 35. Rent Insurance shall be carried in favor of Landlord and Tenant (as their respective interests may appear), but the proceeds thereof to the extent required by Landlord pursuant to Section 7.01(a)(iv) shall be paid to Depository and shall be applied to the PILOT and Civic Facilities Payments and any other sums then owing as and when due and payable by Tenant under this Lease until completion of such Restoration by Tenant. All insurance required by any provision of this Lease shall be in such form and shall be issued by such responsible companies authorized to do business in the State of New York as are reasonably acceptable to Landlord. Any such insurance company rated by Best’s Insurance Reports (or any successor publication) as A-/IX or better shall be acceptable to Landlord. All policies referred to in this Lease shall be procured, or caused to be procured, by Tenant, at no expense to Landlord, and for periods of not less than one (1) year. Subject to Section 7.04 hereof, certificates of insurance with respect to such policies and, if requested by Landlord, copies of portions of such policies which Landlord, in its reasonable discretion, deems relevant, shall be delivered to Landlord promptly upon the procurement of such coverages, together with proof reasonably satisfactory to Landlord that the then current installment of the premiums thereon has been paid, provided that Landlord shall not, by custody of such certificates and/or policies, be deemed to have knowledge thereof. Certificates of insurance with respect to new or renewal policies replacing any policies expiring during the Term shall be delivered as aforesaid at least five (5) days before the date of expiration, together with proof that the then current installment of the premiums thereon have been paid. Upon the request of Landlord, Tenant shall also deliver to Landlord, within ten (10) days of request therefor, copies of portions of such policies which Landlord, in its reasonable discretion, deems relevant. Upon reasonable notice by Landlord, Tenant shall make available for inspection by Landlord’s representatives from time to time at a facility in the City complete copies of the insurance policies, including any “manuscript” insurance policies, maintained by or on behalf of Tenant. Any copies of insurance policies or portions thereof delivered to Landlord hereunder shall be deemed to be Confidential Information for purposes of Section 41.27.

(b) Tenant and Landlord shall cooperate in connection with the collection of any insurance monies that may be due in the event of loss, and Tenant and Landlord shall execute and deliver such proofs of loss and other instruments as may be required for the purpose of obtaining the recovery of any such insurance monies. If Landlord shall reasonably determine that in order to protect its interests it requires the assistance of independent consultants then Tenant shall promptly reimburse Landlord solely out of the proceeds of the monies collected for any and all reasonable costs or expenses which Landlord may sustain or incur in connection therewith, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements.

(c) Tenant shall not carry separate insurance concurrent in form or contributing in the event of loss with that required by this Lease to be furnished by Tenant, unless Landlord is included therein as an additional insured and each Mortgagee as an additional insured with loss payable as provided in this Lease. Tenant promptly shall notify Landlord of the carrying of any such separate insurance and shall cause certificates of insurance with respect thereto, and if requested by Landlord, copies of such policies, to be delivered as required in this Lease.

(d) Subject to Section 7.02(e), all property insurance policies as required by this Lease shall provide in substance that all adjustments for claims with the insurers in excess of Five Million and 00/100 Dollars ($5,000,000) (as such amount shall be increased as provided in Section 7.02(a)) shall be made with Landlord, Tenant and any Mortgagee named as loss payees, as their interests may appear. Any adjustments for claims with the insurers involving sums of less than Five Million and 00/100 Dollars ($5,000,000) (as such amount shall be increased as provided in Section 7.02(a)) shall be made with Tenant. Any dispute between Landlord and Tenant respecting any such adjustment shall be subject to arbitration in accordance with Article 35.

(e) Rent Insurance shall provide in substance that all adjustments for claims with the insurers not in excess of the amount of such insurance required by Landlord hereunder shall be made with Landlord and Tenant. Any dispute between Landlord and Tenant respecting any such adjustment shall be subject to arbitration in accordance with Article 35.

(f) Tenant shall not violate, and shall take all commercially reasonable efforts not to permit to be violated, any of the conditions or provisions of any insurance policy required hereunder, and Tenant shall so perform and satisfy or cause to be performed and satisfied the requirements of the companies writing such policies so that at all times insurers described in Section 7.02(a), reasonably acceptable to Landlord in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.01(a), shall be willing to write and continue such insurance.

(g) Each policy of insurance required to be obtained by Tenant as herein provided shall contain to the extent obtainable and whether or not an additional premium shall be payable in connection therewith, but subject to Section 7.01(c), (i) a provision that no act or omission of Tenant or any other named insured shall affect or limit the obligation of the insurance company to pay the amount of any loss sustained, (ii) an agreement by the insurer that such policy shall not be canceled or modified without at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Landlord and each Mortgagee (other than for nonpayment, in which event, said 30 days shall be reduced to 10 days), (iii) a waiver by the insurer of any claim for insurance premiums against Landlord or any named insured other than Tenant, and (iv) a waiver of subrogation by the insurers of any right to recover the amount of any loss resulting from the negligence of Tenant, Landlord, their agents, employees or licensees.

(h) All liability insurance required to be provided and kept in force by Tenant under this Lease shall be written on an “Occurrence” basis, provided, however, that if (i) a basis other than such “Occurrence” basis shall be generally adopted throughout the insurance industry and (ii) such other basis shall be accepted by most prudent owners of like buildings and improvements, then Tenant may provide and keep in force liability insurance written on such other basis.

Section 7.03. Escrow of Insurance Premiums.

(a) Tenant, on the demand of Landlord after the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder that arises from Tenant’s failure to comply with the provisions of this Article 7, shall deposit with Depository on the first day of each month during the Term, an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12^th) of the annual insurance premiums for the insurance required to be carried by Tenant hereunder, as reasonably estimated by Landlord, unless such insurance premiums are deposited with a Mortgagee (provided such Mortgagee be an Institutional Lender and shall have agreed in writing, for the benefit of Landlord and pursuant to an instrument reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, to hold such funds in a segregated, non-commingled special account and to use such amounts to pay insurance premiums in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Lease, and that the Mortgagee shall use such funds for no other purpose). If at any time the insurance premiums shall be increased or Landlord receives information that the insurance premiums will be increased, and the monthly deposits being paid by Tenant under this Section 7.03(a) would be insufficient to pay such insurance premiums thirty (30) days prior to the due date, the monthly deposits shall thereupon be increased and Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days prior to the due date thereof, deposit immediately with Depository sufficient monies for the payment of the increased insurance premiums. Thereafter, the monthly deposits shall be adjusted so that Depository shall receive from Tenant sufficient monies to pay the insurance premiums at least thirty (30) days before the insurance premiums become due and payable. Depository (or, if applicable, the Mortgagee holding same) shall apply the deposited monies to pay insurance premiums by not later than the dates on which same become due and payable.

(b) Anything in Section 7.03(a) to the contrary notwithstanding, if the Event of Default which gave rise to Landlord having demanded that Tenant make deposits under Section 7.03(a) shall have been cured by Tenant and for a period of six (6) consecutive months following such cure no Event of Default shall have occurred that arises from Tenant’s failure to comply with the provisions of this Article 7 and at such time Tenant is current in the payment of Rental, then, at any time after the expiration of such six (6) month period, upon the demand of Tenant, provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred under this Article 7 subsequent to the expiration of such six (6) month period and at such time Tenant is current in the payment of Rental, all monies deposited under Section 7.03(a) then held by Depository, together with the interest, if any, accrued thereon, shall be returned to Tenant and Tenant shall not be required to

make further deposits under Section 7.03(a) unless and until there shall occur a subsequent Event of Default that arises from Tenant’s failure to comply with the provisions of this Article 7 and Landlord shall make demand upon Tenant to make deposits under Section 7.03(a).

(c) In the event that a Mortgagee shall require Tenant to deposit funds to insure payment of insurance premiums, any amount so deposited by Tenant with such Mortgagee or with such Mortgagee’s designee shall be credited against the amount, if any, which Tenant would otherwise be required to deposit under this Section 7.03, provided that such Mortgagee shall have agreed in writing, for the benefit of Landlord and pursuant to an instrument satisfactory to Landlord, to have such funds held in a segregated, non-commingled special account for the payment of such insurance premiums and otherwise in accordance with Section 7.03(a), and that the Mortgagee shall use, or direct the use of, such funds to pay Impositions as and when same are required to be paid hereunder and for no other purpose except to the extent such insurance premiums shall have been paid. The provisions of this Section 7.03(c) shall only apply to Mortgagees which are Institutional Lenders.

Section 7.04. Umbrella Insurance. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein set forth, the insurance required by this Lease, at the option of Tenant, may be effected by blanket or umbrella policies issued to Tenant covering the Premises and other properties owned or leased by Tenant and/or its Affiliates, provided that the limits under such blanket or umbrella policies (even though not specifically or exclusively assigned in whole or in part to the Premises) are reasonable, taking into account the geographical and other elements of diversity among the risks covered and such policies otherwise comply with the provisions of this Lease.

Section 7.05. Tenant’s Right to Self-Insure. If and for so long as certain conditions (the “Self-Insurance Conditions”) have been satisfied, Tenant shall be entitled to identify one or more types and strata of insurable risk with respect to which Tenant is required hereunder to obtain and maintain insurance coverage and, in lieu of obtaining and maintaining insurance with respect to such types and strata of risk, Tenant may self-insure such risks (the “Right to Self-Insure”) in accordance with this Section. The Self-Insurance Conditions shall be the following:

	(i)		Tenant shall at all times during which Tenant is exercising the Right to Self-Insure be Controlled by Parent (which shall not include, for purposes of this Section 7.05, any Person described in clause (iii) of the definition of Parent);

	(ii)		the aggregate amount with respect to which Tenant may exercise its Right to Self-Insure shall in no event exceed the lesser of (A) $250 million, as adjusted in direct proportion to the change in the Consumer Price Index between the time of determination of this value and the Commencement Date or (B) fifteen percent (15%) of the average of the annualized quarterly “pre-tax earnings” of Parent (on a consolidated basis) during its eight most recently reported fiscal quarters as

			reported in its periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Forms 10-K and 10-Q (it being acknowledged that the amount of pre-tax earnings for the last fiscal quarter of each fiscal year will be derived by deducting the pre-tax earnings reported for the first three (3) fiscal quarters of such fiscal year from the pre-tax earnings reported for such fiscal year as a whole) or, if Parent is a “foreign private issuer”, in periodic reports filed by Parent in its primary reporting jurisdiction, such lesser amount being reduced by the amount of any deductibles which Tenant shall otherwise be entitled to maintain hereunder;

	(iii)		Tenant shall have delivered to Landlord an indemnity agreement, in form reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, from Parent pursuant to which Parent agrees to pay to Landlord (or, if Tenant is exercising its Right to Self-Insure with respect to any of the coverages identified in Section 7.01(a)(ii)-(viii) or Section 11.03(a)(i)-(iii) for the benefit of a party other than Landlord, to such third party) and undertake such indemnification and defense obligations as a third-party insurer would have paid or undertaken, as applicable, if Tenant had not elected to exercise the Right to Self-Insure and the insurance coverage otherwise required to be obtained and maintained hereunder with respect to the types and strata of risk with respect to which Tenant is then exercising its Right to Self-Insure had been in effect (for the avoidance of doubt, it being agreed that Parent’s payment obligations under any such indemnity agreement shall not extend to any amounts that Tenant may otherwise maintain hereunder as a “deductible”); and

	(iv)		none of the following shall have occurred:

	(A)		either of Standard & Poor’s or Xxxxx’x Investors Service shall have reduced the senior, unsecured long-term debt rating of Parent to less than A (in the case of Standard and Poor’s rating) or “A2” (in the case of Xxxxx’x Investors Service rating); or

	(B)		either of Standard & Poor’s or Xxxxx’x Investors Service shall have placed Parent on a “watch” or similar list announcing its intent to review the senior, unsecured long-term debt rating of Parent for possible downgrade at a time at which such debt rating shall be not higher than A (in the case of Standard and Poor’s rating) or “A2” (in the case of Xxxxx’x Investors Service rating); or

	(C)		Parent shall not be eligible to file, or shall have failed to file within thirty (30) days after the date required by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules promulgated thereunder, its most recent report on Form 10-K (or, in the event Parent is a “foreign private issuer”, Form 20-F) with the Securities and Exchange Commission; or

(D)

the independent registered public accounting firm of Parent shall have appended a “going concern” qualification to its report on the financial statements of Parent, or shall have refused to issue such report without such qualification.

If Tenant elects to exercise its Right to Self-Insure, Tenant shall (x) identify to Landlord from time to time (but no less frequently than annually) the types and strata of insurable risk to which such Right to Self-Insure then applies, (y) give Landlord prior notice of any change in such types or strata of insurable risk, and (z) cause The Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Group, Inc. to pay to Landlord (or, if Tenant is exercising its Right to Self-Insure with respect to any of the coverages identified in Section 7.01(a)(ii)-(viii) or Section 11.03(a)(i)-(iii) for the benefit of a party other than Landlord, to such third party) and undertake such indemnification and defense obligations as a third-party insurer would have paid or undertaken, as applicable, if Tenant had not elected to Self-Insure and the insurance coverage otherwise required to be obtained and maintained hereunder with respect to the types and strata of risk with respect to which Tenant is then exercising its Right to Self-Insure had been in effect.

If at any time Tenant is exercising its Right to Self-Insure and any of the Self-Insurance Conditions shall no longer be fulfilled, Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days of the date on which any such failure of condition shall have occurred, obtain and thereafter maintain in effect, unless and until the Self-Insurance Conditions shall once again be satisfied, the insurance coverage with respect to which Tenant had elected to exercise its Right to Self-Insure as if said right did not exist.

Any dispute as to whether Tenant is in compliance with this Section shall be resolved by arbitration in accordance with the provisions of Article 35.

ARTICLE 8

USE OF INSURANCE PROCEEDS

Section 8.01. Use of Insurance Proceeds. If all or any part of the Building shall be destroyed or damaged by fire or other casualty (including any casualty for which insurance was not obtained or obtainable) of any kind or nature, ordinary or extraordinary, foreseen or unforeseen, Tenant shall give to Landlord notice thereof within seventy-two (72) hours after such casualty occurs, except that no notice shall be required if the estimated cost of repairs, alterations, restorations, replacements and rebuilding (collectively, “Restoration”) shall be less than Five Million and 00/100 Dollars ($5,000,000) (as such amount shall be increased as provided in Section 7.02(a)). Tenant shall, whether or not such damage or destruction shall have been insured, and whether or not insurance proceeds, if any, shall be sufficient for the purpose of such Restoration, with reasonable diligence (subject to Unavoidable Delays) repair, alter, restore, replace and rebuild (collectively, “Restore”) the same as nearly as possible using an Approved C/CM, either (x) in accordance with the Design Guidelines (including any portion thereof relating to signage visible from the exterior of the Building but excluding any other portion thereof relating to the interior of the Building) and to the same primary use and to the same quality, height, bulk and setback of the Building existing immediately prior to such occurrence, based on plans and specifications prepared by Tenant and approved by Landlord in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.02 or (y) subject to Sections 11.02(e) and (f), in accordance with the Construction Documents. Landlord in no event shall be obligated to Restore the Building or any portion thereof or to pay any of the costs or expenses thereof. If Tenant shall fail or neglect to Restore with reasonable diligence (subject to Unavoidable Delays) the Building or the portion thereof so damaged or destroyed, or having so commenced such Restoration, shall fail to continue to prosecute the same with reasonable diligence (subject to Unavoidable Delays) in accordance with the terms of this Lease, and in either case such failure or neglect continues for sixty (60) days after notice from Landlord or if prior to the completion of any such Restoration by Tenant, this Lease shall expire or be terminated for any reason, Landlord, upon notice to Tenant, may, but shall not be required to, complete such Restoration at Tenant’s expense. Each such Restoration shall be done in accordance with the provisions of this Lease. In any case where this Lease shall expire or be terminated prior to the completion of Restoration, Tenant shall account to Landlord for all amounts spent in connection with any Restoration which was undertaken and shall pay over to Landlord, within ten (10) days after demand, the remainder, if any, of the Restoration Funds previously received by it in respect of work required, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, to complete the Restoration. Tenant’s obligations under this Section 8.01 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease.

Section 8.02. Payment of Insurance Proceeds.

(a) Subject to the provisions of Sections 8.03 and 8.04, Depository shall pay over to Tenant from time to time, upon the following terms, any monies which may be received by Depository from insurance provided by Tenant (other than Rent

Insurance) or cash or the proceeds of any security deposited with Depository pursuant to Section 8.04(d) (collectively, the “Restoration Funds”); provided, however, that Depository, before paying such monies over to Tenant, shall be entitled to reimburse itself and Landlord and Mortgagee therefrom to the extent, if any, of the necessary, reasonable and proper third party out-of-pocket expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) paid or incurred by any such Persons in the collection of such monies. Depository shall pay to Tenant, as hereinafter provided, the Restoration Funds, for the purpose of the Restoration.

(b) Within one hundred and twenty (120) days after the occurrence of any casualty, Tenant shall furnish Landlord with an estimate of the cost of such Restoration, prepared by a licensed professional engineer or registered architect selected by Tenant and approved by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Landlord, at Landlord’s expense, may engage a licensed professional engineer or registered architect to prepare its own estimate of the cost of such Restoration. If there is any dispute as to the estimated cost of the Restoration, such dispute shall be resolved by arbitration in accordance with the provisions of Article 35.

(c) Subject to the provisions of Sections 8.03 and 8.04, the Restoration Funds shall be paid to Tenant in installments as the Restoration progresses, less retainage equal to ten percent (10%) in respect of each contract, subcontract or trade (as elected by Tenant) until completion of fifty percent (50%) of the work in respect of such contract, subcontract or trade, and five percent (5%) thereafter until completion of the Restoration, upon application to be submitted by Tenant to Depository and, for information only, to Landlord showing the cost of labor and materials purchased in connection with the Restoration, or purchased since the last previous application, and due and payable or paid by Tenant. If any vendor’s, mechanic’s, laborer’s, or materialman’s lien is filed against the Premises or any part thereof, or if any public improvement lien relating to the Restoration of the Premises is created or permitted to be created by Tenant and is filed against Landlord, or any assets of, or funds appropriated to, Landlord, Tenant shall not be entitled to receive any further installment until such lien is satisfied or discharged (by bonding or otherwise). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the existence of any such lien shall not preclude Tenant from receiving any installment of Restoration Funds, provided that (i) such lien will be discharged with funds from such installment, (ii) if Depository shall be holding funds for the Restoration, (x) Depository certifies that it is retaining, in addition to amounts required to be retained hereunder, an amount equal to the funds required to satisfy or discharge such lien and (y) failure to pay or discharge such lien will not result in the imminent loss or forfeiture of the Premises or the termination of Tenant’s interest under this Lease and will not subject Tenant or Landlord to any criminal penalty or liability or (iii) Tenant is contesting such lien in accordance with the provisions of Section 16.02.

(d) Upon completion of and payment for the Restoration by Tenant in accordance with the terms of this Lease, the balance of the Restoration Funds net of any Rental then due and owing shall be paid over to Tenant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Tenant shall have undertaken and completed the Restoration in accordance with the terms hereof (other than the provisions regarding the disbursement of insurance proceeds) and with funds from other sources, then all of such Restoration Funds, net of any Rental then due and owing, shall be paid over to Tenant.

(e) If Landlord makes the Restoration at Tenant’s expense, as provided in Section 8.01, then Depository shall pay over the Restoration Funds to Landlord, upon request, to the extent not previously paid to Tenant pursuant to this Section 8.02, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord, within twenty (20) days after demand any sums in excess of the portion of the Restoration Funds received by Landlord. Landlord shall also deliver to Tenant, together with its demand for payment, a reasonably detailed statement as to the amounts required. Upon completion of the Restoration, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a certificate, in reasonable detail, setting forth the expenditures made by Landlord for such Restoration and shall pay to Tenant any sums in excess of expenses and costs paid by Landlord in connection with the Restoration net of any Rental then due and owing.

Section 8.03. Conditions to Payment. The following shall be conditions precedent to each payment made to Tenant as provided in Section 8.02:

(a) There shall be submitted to Depository and Landlord the certificate of the aforesaid engineer or architect approved by Landlord pursuant to Section 8.02(b) or any other engineer or architect approved by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, stating that (i) the sum then requested to be withdrawn either has been paid by Tenant or is due and payable to contractors, subcontractors, materialmen, engineers, architects or other Persons (whose names and addresses shall be stated) who have rendered or furnished services or materials for the work and giving a brief description of such services and materials and the principal subdivisions or categories thereof and the several amounts so paid or due to each of said Persons in respect thereof, and stating in reasonable detail the progress of the work up to the date of said certificate, (ii) no part of such expenditures has been or is being made the basis, in any previous or then pending requisition, for the withdrawal of the Restoration Funds or has been made out of the Restoration Funds previously received by Tenant, and (iii) in the good faith judgment of the certifying party, the balance of the Restoration Funds held by Depository will be sufficient upon completion of the Restoration to pay for the same in full, and stating in reasonable detail an estimate of the cost of such completion; and

(b) at the time of making such payment, no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing under this Lease.

Section 8.04. Additional Restoration Requirements.If any loss, damage or destruction occurs, the cost of Restoration of which equals or exceeds Five Million and 00/100

Dollars ($5,000,000) in the aggregate, determined as provided in Section 8.02(b) (as such amount shall be increased as provided in Section 7.02(a)), Tenant shall furnish to Landlord the following:

(i) at least five (5) Business Days prior to commencement of such Restoration, plans and specifications for the Restoration of the type required under Section 11.02(d), prepared by a licensed professional engineer or registered architect selected by Tenant and approved by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, together with any required permits issued by any Governmental Authority with respect to the Restoration (other than those permitted to be obtained at a later date) and materials samples as required under Section 11.02(h). If Tenant is proceeding with the Restoration pursuant to clause (y) of Section 8.01(a), Tenant shall also provide Landlord with plans and specifications for the Restoration of the types required in Section 11.02(a)-(d). All of the foregoing shall be subject to Landlord’s review and approval solely for substantial conformity with the Construction Documents (if Tenant shall be restoring under clause (x) of Section 8.01(a)), as modified by Tenant in accordance with Section 11.02(e) or in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.02(a)-(d), as applicable (if Tenant shall be restoring under clause (y) of Section 8.01(a));

(ii) at least ten (10) Business Days prior to commencement of such Restoration, a Guaranty of Construction-Related Payments or such other security as shall be reasonably satisfactory to Landlord;

(iii) Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord, subject to the rights of any Mortgagee, the contract(s) or construction management agreement pursuant to which the Restoration is being undertaken by Tenant and the bonds, if any, provided thereunder, the parties acknowledging, however, that said assignment shall not impose any obligations on Landlord with respect to the contracts so assigned unless and until Landlord, in its sole discretion, elects in writing to assume the obligations under said contracts or agreements; and

(iv) at least ten (10) Business Days prior to commencement of such Restoration, insurance policies issued by responsible insurers, bearing notations evidencing the payment of premiums or accompanied by other evidence reasonably satisfactory to Landlord of such payments, for the insurance required by Section 11.03.

(b) Notwithstanding that the cost of Restoration is less than Five Million and 00/100 Dollars ($5,000,000) (as such amount shall be increased as provided in Section 7.02(a)), such cost to be determined as provided in Section 8.02(b), then clauses (ii) and (iii) of Section 8.04(a) shall be deemed not applicable to said Restoration.

(d) If the cost of any Restoration, determined as provided in Section 8.02(b), exceeds both (i) Five Million and 00/100 Dollars ($5,000,000) (as such amount shall be increased as provided in Section 7.02(a)) and (ii) the net insurance proceeds, then, prior to the commencement of such Restoration, unless Landlord shall have given its approval of the payment and performance bonds provided for in Section 8.04(a)(ii) and the amounts thereof cover such excess, Tenant shall deposit with Depository, as security for completion of the Restoration, a bond, cash, a Guaranty of Construction-Related Payments or other security reasonably satisfactory to Landlord in the amount of such excess, to be held and applied by Depository in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.02.

Section 8.05. No Termination or Abatement. This Lease shall not terminate or be forfeited or be affected in any manner, and there shall be no reduction or abatement of the Rental payable hereunder, by reason of damage to or total, substantial or partial destruction of any of the Building or any part thereof or by reason of the untenantability of the same or any part thereof, for or due to any reason or cause whatsoever, and Tenant, notwithstanding any law or statute present or future, waives any and all rights to quit or surrender the Premises or any part thereof. Tenant expressly agrees that its obligations hereunder, including, without limitation, the payment of Rental, shall continue as though the Building had not been damaged or destroyed and without abatement, suspension, diminution or reduction of any kind. It is the intention of Landlord and Tenant that the foregoing is an “express agreement to the contrary” as provided in Section 227 of the Real Property Law of the State of New York. Nothing in this Section 8.05 shall affect the right of Tenant to institute tax assessment reduction or other actions or proceedings pursuant to Section 4.06 hereof to reduce the assessed valuation of the Premises or any portion thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, if the estimated cost of any Restoration (whether after a casualty or condemnation) to be performed in the last ten (10) years of the Term shall exceed twenty-five percent (25%) of the “full replacement cost” as determined for purposes of Section 7.01(a)(i), Tenant, at its option, may cancel this Lease upon ten (10) days’ notice to Landlord. In such event (a) the Term shall end on the date set forth in such notice as if that were the date set forth herein as and for the Expiration Date and (b) Tenant shall have no obligation to perform such Restoration, provided, however, that, at Landlord’s option, Tenant shall demolish the improvements on the Land. All proceeds of insurance for such damage or destruction, other than the amount reasonably necessary to demolish the improvements on the Land (which shall be paid to Tenant), shall be paid to Landlord, and Tenant shall pay Landlord an amount equal to the deductibles applicable to the loss under the insurance policies under which such proceeds were received.

Section 8.06. Delivery of Plans. If, for any completed Restoration, Tenant has not theretofore delivered same to Landlord, Tenant shall, within one hundred twenty (120) days after the completion of such Restoration, deliver to Landlord or, at Tenant’s option, into escrow pursuant to Section 41.28, a complete set of “as built” plans or the previously delivered plans and

specification marked with “field changes”, together with a statement in writing from a registered architect or licensed professional engineer that such plans are complete and correct in all material respects.

ARTICLE 9

CONDEMNATION

Section 9.01. Generally.

(a) If the whole or substantially all of the Premises shall be taken (excluding a taking of the fee interest in the Premises, if after such taking, Tenant’s rights under this Lease are not affected) for any public or quasi-public purpose by any lawful power or authority by the exercise of the right of condemnation or eminent domain or by agreement among Landlord, Tenant and those authorized to exercise such right, this Lease and the Term shall terminate and expire on the date of such taking and the Rental payable by Tenant hereunder, including, without limitation, PILOT, shall be equitably apportioned as of the date of such taking. Any claim in respect of a leasehold interest superior to that of Tenant (as well as any claim by the tenant under the Master Lease) shall be subject and subordinate to Tenant’s claims pursuant to this Article 9 (provided that the foregoing shall not be construed as Tenant’s permitting any such leasehold interest). For purposes of determining whether a taking has occurred pursuant to this Section 9.01, the Premises shall be deemed to include the easements or other rights of access to, over and through the following streets: Xxxxx Xxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, xxx Xxxxx Xxxxxx. A taking only of such easements or other rights of access shall be deemed to be a taking of “substantially all of the Premises” only if a court of competent jurisdiction shall deem such a taking of such easements or rights to be the equivalent of a taking of the whole or substantially all of the Premises.

(b) The term “substantially all of the Premises” shall mean such portion of the Premises as when so taken would leave remaining a balance of the Premises which, due either to the area so taken or the location of the part so taken in relation to the part not so taken, would not under economic conditions and Requirements then existing, and after performance by Tenant of all covenants, agreements, terms and provisions contained herein, permit the Restoration of the Building so as to constitute a complete building or buildings capable of accommodating the Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Use or, if Tenant is not then an Affiliate of The Xxxxxxx Sachs Group, Inc. and the Premises (other than retail space) are not then occupied in their entirety (or substantially in their entirety) by The Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Group, Inc. and its Affiliates as a rental property capable of producing proportionately (i.e., proportional to the number of square feet not so taken) fair and reasonable net annual rental income. If there be any dispute as to whether or not “substantially all of the Premises” has been taken, such dispute shall be resolved by arbitration in accordance with the provisions of Article 35; provided, however, that, if Tenant shall have elected to proceed with the Restoration of the Building, Tenant’s judgment that the Building, as restored, shall be capable of accommodating the Xxxxxxx Sachs Use shall be binding upon Landlord.

(c) If the whole or substantially all of the Premises shall be taken or condemned as provided in Section 9.01(a), the award, awards or damages in respect thereof shall be apportioned as follows: (i) there shall first be paid to Landlord so much of the award which is for or attributable to the value of the Land so taken considered as unimproved and encumbered by, and taking into account the provisions of, this Lease (including the benefits accruing to Landlord herewith) and any improvements made by Landlord on the Premises so taken; (ii) there shall next be paid to the Mortgagees, in accordance with the priority of their Mortgages, or to Tenant, if no Mortgage shall then exist, so much of the balance of such award as shall equal the lesser of (A) the unpaid principal indebtedness secured by such Mortgages with interest thereon at the rate specified therein to the date of payment, and (B) (1) prior to the tenth (10^th) anniversary of the Commencement Date, an amount equal to eighty percent (80%) of the costs of the Building, as reasonably established by Tenant, and (2) thereafter, an amount equal to eighty percent (80%) of the fair market value of the Building immediately prior to such taking, as established by an appraisal reasonably acceptable to Tenant and Landlord; (iii) there shall next be paid to Landlord so much of the award which is for or attributable to the value of Landlord’s reversionary interest in that part of the Building taken in such proceeding (it being agreed between Landlord and Tenant that, notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary, for a period of forty (40) years from the Scheduled Completion Date, the value of Landlord’s reversionary interest in the Building shall be deemed to be zero); and (iv) subject to rights of any Mortgagees, Tenant shall receive the balance, if any, of the award. If there be any dispute as to the apportionment of the award or damages, such dispute shall be resolved by arbitration in accordance with the provisions of Article 35. For purposes of this Section 9.01(c), the term “Mortgagee” shall be deemed to mean a Mortgagee that is not an Affiliate unless the Mortgagee is an Institutional Lender which has made a bona fide loan.

(d) Each of the parties shall execute any and all documents that may be reasonably required in order to facilitate collection by them of such awards.

Section 9.02. Date of Taking. For purposes of this Article 9, the “date of taking” shall be deemed to be the earlier of (i) the date on which actual possession of the whole or substantially all of the Premises, or a part thereof, as the case may be, is acquired by any lawful power or authority pursuant to the provisions of the applicable federal or New York State law or (ii) the date on which title to the Premises or the aforesaid portion thereof shall have vested in any lawful power or authority pursuant to the provisions of the applicable federal or New York State law.

Section 9.03. Less than Substantial Taking. If less than substantially all of the Premises shall be so taken, this Lease and the Term shall continue as to the portion of the Premises remaining without diminution of any of Tenant’s obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that, after any such taking of less than substantially all of the Premises, (i) the calculation

of the Civic Facilities Payment pursuant to Section 26.05 shall take account of any change in the gross square feet of floor area in the Building that results from such taking and that is not reconstructed by Tenant and (ii) the calculation of PILOT pursuant to Section 3.02(b) shall take account of any change in the gross square footage of the Building or the assessed valuation of the Premises that results from such taking. Tenant, whether or not the award or awards, if any, shall be sufficient for the purpose, shall (subject to Unavoidable Delays) proceed diligently to Restore any remaining part of the Building not so taken so that the latter shall be a complete, operable, self-contained architectural unit in good condition and repair either (x) in accordance with the Design Guidelines (including any portion thereof relating to signage visible from the exterior of the Building but excluding any other portion thereof relating to the interior of the Building) and to the same primary use and to the same quality, height, bulk and setback of the Building existing immediately prior to such occurrence, based on plans and specifications prepared by Tenant and approved by Landlord in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.02 or (y) subject to Sections 11.02(e) and (f) and to the extent reasonably practicable, in accordance with the Construction Documents. In the event of any taking pursuant to this Section 9.03, the award shall be (i) first, made available to Tenant to the extent required for Restoration in accordance with the terms hereof; (ii) then, paid to Landlord to the extent attributable to the value of the Land so taken considered as unimproved and encumbered by, and taking into account the provisions of, this Lease (including the benefits accruing to Landlord herewith) and any improvements made by Landlord on the Premises so taken; (iii) then, paid to the Mortgagees, in accordance with the priority of their Mortgages, or to Tenant, if no Mortgage shall then exist, so much of the balance of such award as shall equal the lesser of (A) the unpaid principal indebtedness secured by such Mortgage or Mortgages with interest thereon at the rate specified therein to the date of payment, and (B)(1) prior to the tenth (10^th) anniversary of the Commencement Date, an amount equal to eighty percent (80%) of the costs of the Building, as reasonably established by Tenant, and (2) thereafter, an amount equal to eighty percent (80%) of the fair market value of the Building immediately prior to such taking, as established by an appraisal reasonably acceptable to Tenant and Landlord; (iv) then, paid to Landlord so much of the award which is for or attributable to the value of Landlord’s reversionary interest in that part of the Building taken in such proceeding (it being agreed between Landlord and Tenant that, notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary, for a period of forty (40) years from the Scheduled Completion Date, the value of Landlord’s reversionary interest in the Building shall be deemed to be zero); and (v) subject to rights of any Mortgagees, Tenant shall receive the balance, if any, of the award. With respect to the amount described in clause (i) above, if such balance shall be less than Five Million and 00/100 Dollars ($5,000,000) (as such amount shall be increased as provided in Section 7.02(a)), such balance shall be payable, in trust, to Tenant for application to the cost of Restoration of the part of the Building not so taken; if such balance shall be more than said amount, the same shall be paid to Depository. Subject to the provisions and limitations in this Article 9, Depository shall make available to Tenant as much of that portion of the award actually received and held by Depository, if any, less all necessary and proper third-party, out-of-pocket expenses paid or incurred by Tenant, Depository, the Mortgagee most senior in lien or its designee and Landlord in the condemnation proceedings, as may be necessary to pay the cost of Restoration of the part of the Building remaining. Such

Restoration shall be done in accordance with and subject to the provisions of Article 8. Payments to Tenant as contemplated in the immediately preceding sentence shall be disbursed in the manner and subject to the conditions set forth in Article 8. Any balance of the award held by Depository and any cash and the proceeds of any security deposited with Depository pursuant to Section 9.04 remaining after Substantial Completion of the Restoration shall be paid, subject to the rights of any Mortgagee, to Tenant. Each of the parties shall execute any and all documents that may be reasonably required in order to facilitate collection of such awards by the parties entitled to receive the same in accordance herewith. For purposes of determining whether a taking has occurred pursuant to this Section 9.03, the Premises shall be deemed to include the easements or other rights of access to, over and through the following streets: Xxxxx Xxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, xxx Xxxxx Xxxxxx.

Section 9.04. Deposits with Depository. With respect to any Restoration required by the terms of Section 9.03, the cost of which, as determined in the manner set forth in Section 8.02(b), exceeds both (i) Five Million and 00/100 Dollars ($5,000,000) (as such amount shall be increased as provided in Section 7.02(a)) and (ii) the balance of the condemnation award after payment of the expenses set forth in Section 9.03, then, prior to the commencement of such Restoration, Tenant shall deposit with Depository a bond, cash, or other security reasonably satisfactory to Landlord in the amount of such excess, to be held and applied by Depository in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.03, as security for the completion of the Restoration.

Section 9.05. Temporary Takings. If the temporary use of the whole or any part of the Premises shall be taken for any public or quasi-public purpose by any lawful power or authority by the exercise of the right of condemnation or eminent domain or by agreement between Tenant and those authorized to exercise such right, Tenant shall give prompt notice thereof to Landlord and the Term shall not be reduced or affected in any way and Tenant shall continue to pay in full the Rental payable by Tenant hereunder without reduction or abatement, and Tenant shall be entitled to receive for itself any award or payments for such use; provided, however, that:

(a) if the taking is for a period not extending beyond the Term and if such award or payment is made less frequently than in monthly installments, the same shall be paid to and held by Depository as a fund which Depository shall apply from time to time to the payment of Rental, except that, if such taking results in changes or alterations in the Building which would necessitate an expenditure to Restore the Building to its former condition, then, a portion of such award or payment considered by Landlord, in its reasonable opinion, as appropriate to cover the expenses of the Restoration shall be retained by Depository, without application as aforesaid, and applied and paid over toward the Restoration of the Building to its former condition, substantially in the same manner and subject to the same conditions as provided in Section 9.03; and any portion of such award or payment, which shall not be required pursuant to this Section 9.05 to be applied to the Restoration of the Building or to the payment of Rental until the end of the

Term (or, if the taking is for a period terminating prior to the end of the Term, until the end of such period), shall be paid to Tenant; or

(b) if the taking is for a period extending beyond the Term, such award or payment shall be equitably apportioned between Landlord and Tenant as of the Expiration Date, and Landlord’s and Tenant’s share thereof, if paid less frequently than in monthly installments, shall be paid to Depository and applied in accordance with the provisions of this Section 9.05, provided, however, that the amount of any award or payment allowed or retained for the Restoration of the Building and not previously applied for such purpose shall remain the property of Landlord if this Lease shall expire prior to such Restoration.

Section 9.06. Other Governmental Action. In case of any governmental action, not resulting in the taking or condemnation of any portion of the Premises but creating a right to compensation therefor, such as the changing of the grade of any street upon which the Premises abut, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect without reduction or abatement of Rental and the award shall be paid to Landlord to the extent of the amount, if any, necessary to restore any portion of Landlord’s Civic Facilities to their former condition and any balance remaining shall be paid to Tenant.

Section 9.07. Conveyance in Lieu of Condemnation. In the event of a negotiated sale of all or a portion of the Premises in lieu of condemnation (which settlement Landlord agrees shall require the written consent of Tenant), the proceeds shall be distributed as provided in cases of condemnation.

Section 9.08. Participation. Landlord, Tenant and any Mortgagee shall be entitled to file a claim and otherwise participate in any condemnation or similar proceeding and all hearings, trials and appeals in respect thereof.

Section 9.09. Separate Claims. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 9, in the event of any permanent or temporary taking of all or any part of the Premises, Tenant and its Subtenants shall have the exclusive right to assert claims for any trade fixtures and personal property so taken which were the property of Tenant or its Subtenants (but not including any Equipment) and for relocation expenses of Tenant or its Subtenants, and all awards and damages in respect thereof shall belong to Tenant and its Subtenants, and Landlord hereby waives any and all claims to any part thereof.

Section 9.10. Landlord Condemnations. Landlord represents that under current law it has no power to condemn all or any part of the Premises.

Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 10.01(a), (A) so long as Parent Controls Tenant, (x) no Default or Event of Default shall arise by reason of any action or inaction that would violate any of the above provisions of this Section 10.01(a) (other than clauses (i) or (iii) of this Section 10.01(a)) and (y) the provisions of this Section 10.01(a) shall not prohibit any Transfer or subletting of the Premises as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to an Affiliate and (B) the provisions of this Section 10.01(a) shall not prohibit (x) Tenant or any Person

(b) From and after Substantial Completion of the Building, Landlord’s consent shall not be required prior to any Transfer, assignment of Tenant’s interest in this Lease or subletting of the Premises as an entirety or substantially as an entirety, provided that (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and then be continuing under this Lease, unless such Event of Default is cured simultaneously with such Transfer, assignment or subletting, and (ii) Tenant shall have complied with the provisions of this Article 10 in connection with such Transfer, assignment or subletting.

Without limiting the foregoing, Tenant shall also not make, suffer or permit any other Transfer which would result in Tenant being Controlled, directly or indirectly, by a Prohibited Person immediately after such Transfer.

(d) In each instance of, and as a condition to the effectiveness thereof, an assignment of Tenant’s interest in this Lease, a sublease of the Premises as an entirety or substantially as an entirety, or a Transfer (other than a Transfer of a direct or indirect interest in or with respect to an interest in a Public Entity), Tenant shall, not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the effective date of such proposed transaction, notify Landlord of such proposed transaction and submit to Landlord the documents and information set forth in Sections 10.01(d)(i)(C), Section 10.01(d)(ii)(B), and Section 10.01(d)(iii), as applicable. Not less than five (5) Business Days prior to such proposed transaction, Tenant shall submit to Landlord the documents and information set forth in Section 10.01(d)(i)(A) and (B), and (ii)(A), as applicable, and, if applicable, Section 10.01(d)(iv) (which documents may be unexecuted but shall, in all other respects, be in substantially final form):

(i) in the case of an assignment, (A) a copy of the proposed instrument(s) of assignment, containing, inter alia, the name, address and telephone number of the assignee(s), (B) a copy of the proposed instrument(s) of assumption of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease by said assignee(s), and (C) an affidavit of the assignee(s) or an authorized officer or general partner, manager, managing member or similar person thereof, setting forth, to the actual knowledge of the affiant after due inquiry, (w) in the case of a partnership, the

names and addresses of all general partners thereof and, other than with respect to a Public Entity, all other partners of the assignee(s) having directly or indirectly a five percent (5%) or greater ownership interest in the assignee, or, in the case of multiple assignees, a five percent (5%) or greater aggregate economic interest in the assignees, (x) in the case of a corporation other than a Public Entity, the names and addresses of all Persons having directly or indirectly five percent (5%) or greater record ownership of stock in, and all directors and officers of, the assignee, or, in the case of multiple assignees, a five percent (5%) or greater aggregate economic interest in the assignees, (y) in the case of a limited liability company, other than with respect to a Public Entity, the names and addresses of all managers and managing members thereof and all other members of the assignee(s) having directly or indirectly a five percent (5%) or greater ownership interest in the assignee, or, in the case of multiple assignees, a five percent (5%) or greater aggregate economic interest in the assignees, and (z) in the case of any other Person, the names and addresses of all officers thereof and/or of other Persons having directly or indirectly managerial authority and, other than with respect to a Public Entity, all other Persons having directly or indirectly a five percent (5%) or greater ownership interest in the assignee, or, in the case of multiple assignees, a five percent (5%) or greater economic interest in the assignees;

(ii) in the case of a subletting of the Premises as an entirety or substantially as an entirety, (A) a copy of the proposed sublease with rent and other sensitive economic terms redacted, containing, inter alia, the name, address, and telephone number of the subtenant (it being agreed that Tenant shall also make available for Landlord’s inspection (and deliver into escrow pursuant to Section 41.28) a complete, unredacted copy of the final Sublease), and (B) an affidavit of the subtenant or an authorized officer, general partner, manager, managing member or similar person thereof, setting forth, to the affiant’s actual knowledge after due inquiry, the same information with respect to the partners, managers, managing members, members, shareholders, officers, directors and other Persons of the subtenant as is required with respect to assignees under Section 10.01(d)(i) (subject, however, to the same limitation expressed in said provision if the subtenant or any Person with an interest therein is a Public Entity);

(iii) in the case of a Transfer (other than a Transfer of a direct or indirect interest in or with respect to an interest in a Public Entity), an affidavit of an authorized officer, general partner, manager, managing member or similar Person of Tenant, setting forth, to the actual knowledge of the affiant after due inquiry, the name, address and telephone number of the transferor, a description of the interest being transferred (including, without limitation, the direct or indirect percentage ownership interest in Tenant which same represents), the

name, address and telephone number of the transferee, and, in addition, the same information with respect to the partners, managers, managing members, members, shareholders, officers, directors and other Persons of Tenant as is required with respect to assignees under Section 10.01(d)(i); and

(iv) in all such cases in which Tenant proposes to effect the transaction prior to Substantial Completion of the Building, such other documents and information as Landlord may reasonably request to permit the evaluation of such assignment, sublease or Transfer.

(e) Landlord shall within fifteen (15) days after receipt of all requisite information and documentation set forth in Section 10.01(d)(i)(C), and within five (5) Business Days after receipt of all information and documentation required under Section 10.01(d)(i)(A) and (B), (ii), and (iii), as applicable, and, if applicable, Section 10.01(d)(iv), notify Tenant whether it grants its consent if such consent is required hereunder, and in those instances wherein the consent of Landlord is not so required or is granted, whether the form and substance of each such document and the information submitted establishes compliance with the provisions of Section 10.01(c) and Section 10.01(d) specifying, in the event that Landlord denies its consent to such transaction or determines that any such documentation or any such information does not establish such compliance, the reason for such denial or determination. If Landlord shall not have notified Tenant of such denial or determination within such period, it shall be deemed to have consented to the proposed transaction if such consent is required and to have determined that the documents and the information submitted establish compliance with the provisions of Section 10.01(c) and Section 10.01(d). Even if Landlord has consented to the proposed transaction if such consent is required and/or has determined that the documents and information establish compliance with the provisions of Section 10.01(c) and Section 10.01(d), such consent and/or determination shall be conditioned upon the delivery to Landlord of executed documents substantially the same as those previously delivered to Landlord for review.

(f) Subject to compliance by a Mortgagee with the provisions of Sections 10.10 and 10.11 hereof, the foregoing requirement of consent by Landlord shall not apply to the acquisition of the Premises by such Mortgagee, through the foreclosure of its Mortgage or through a deed or instrument of transfer delivered in lieu of such foreclosure, so long as such Mortgagee shall, in the instrument transferring to such Mortgagee the interest of Tenant hereunder, assume and agree to perform all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease thereafter to be observed or performed by Tenant. Each reference in this Section 10.01(f) to “Mortgagee” shall be deemed to include a subsidiary (direct or indirect) of such Mortgagee or its parent (a “Mortgagee Designee”), provided that such Mortgagee has delivered to Landlord a written notice advising that such Mortgagee Designee should be so deemed and certifying (i) prior to Substantial Completion that such Mortgagee Designee is an Institutional Lender and is Controlled

(directly or indirectly) by such Mortgagee or its direct parent, (ii) that such Mortgagee Designee is not a Person described in Section 10.01(c), and (iii) that such Mortgagee Designee is authorized to act in the place and stead of such Mortgagee. The requirements of the immediately preceding sentence shall also apply with respect to any designation by a Mortgagee of a Mortgagee Designee as the Tenant under a new lease pursuant to Section 10.11.

(g) No Transfer or assignment of Tenant’s interest in this Lease shall be effective if, on the effective date thereof, (i) subject to the rights of a Mortgagee, an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, or (ii) this Lease is not in full force and effect.

Section 10.02. Compliance with this Article. No assignment of this Lease, subletting of the Premises as an entirety or substantially as an entirety or Transfer shall have any validity except upon compliance with the provisions of this Article 10.

Section 10.03. Consents Limited. Any consent by Landlord under Section 10.01 above shall apply only to the specific transaction thereby authorized and shall not relieve Tenant from any requirement hereunder of obtaining the consent of Landlord to any further sale or assignment of this Lease or Transfer or subletting of the Premises as an entirety or substantially as an entirety.

Section 10.04. Subleases. Tenant may subject to the provisions of Section 10.01(c) and this Section 10.04, enter into leases for the rental of space in the Building, and agreements for the occupancy of such space pursuant to licenses or concessions, in each case for periods shorter than or equal to the remainder of the Term at the time of such lease or agreement (all of such leases and agreements, as well as any subleases or sublicenses or concessions, being herein referred to collectively as “Subleases,” and the occupants pursuant to Subleases as “Subtenants”); provided that, without limiting the right of Tenant to enter into leases for the rental of space in the Building, and agreements for the occupancy of such space pursuant to licenses or concessions, in each case with Affiliates of Tenant and for periods shorter than or equal to the remainder of the Term at the time of such lease or agreement, “Subleases” shall not include any such sublease, license, concession or other occupancy arrangement with any Affiliate of Tenant unless the same shall constitute a Qualifying Sublease. Each Sublease shall permit the Subtenant pursuant thereto to occupy and use the premises included therein for purposes permitted under this Lease only and shall permit the Subtenant to further sublet such premises subject to like restrictions. No Sublease shall permit the use or occupancy of the Premises included therein for purposes inconsistent with the Requirements.

Section 10.05. Certain Breaches. The fact that a violation or breach of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Lease results from or is caused by an act or omission by any Subtenant, or subtenant of a Subtenant, or any other occupant of the Building (whether or not an Affiliate of Tenant) shall not relieve Tenant of Tenant’s obligation to cure the same. Tenant shall take any and all reasonable steps necessary to prevent any such violation or breach.

Section 10.06. Collection of Sublease Rent. Landlord, after an Event of Default by Tenant, may, subject to the rights of any Mortgagee (provided that such Mortgagee is an Institutional Lender), collect subrent and all other sums due under Subleases, and apply the net amount collected to Rental, but no such collection shall be, or be deemed to be, a waiver of any agreement, term, covenant or condition of this Lease or the acceptance by Landlord of any Subtenant as tenant hereunder, or a release of Tenant from performance by Tenant of its obligations under this Lease.

Section 10.07. Assignment of Subleases. To secure the prompt and full payment by Tenant of the Rental and the faithful performance by Tenant of all the other terms and conditions herein contained on its part to be kept and performed, Tenant hereby assigns, transfers and sets over unto Landlord, subject to the rights of any Mortgagee (provided that the Mortgagee thereunder is an Institutional Lender) under any assignment of Subleases and/or rents made in connection with a Mortgage in favor of such Mortgagee, all of Tenant’s right, title and interest in and to all Subleases and hereby confers upon Landlord, its agents and representatives, a right of entry in, and sufficient possession of, the Premises to permit and insure the collection by Landlord of the rentals and other sums payable under the Subleases. The exercise of the right of entry and qualified possession by Landlord shall not constitute an eviction of Tenant from the Premises or any portion thereof and should said right of entry and possession be denied Landlord, its agent or representative, Landlord, in the exercise of said right, may use all requisite force to gain and enjoy the same without responsibility or liability to Tenant, its servants, employees, guests or invitees, or any Person whomsoever; provided, however, that such assignment shall become operative and effective only if (a) and as long as an Event of Default shall occur and remain uncured, or (b) this Lease and the Term shall be canceled or terminated pursuant to the terms, covenants and conditions hereof, or (c) there occurs repossession under a dispossess warrant or other re-entry or repossession by Landlord under the provisions hereof or applicable law, and then only as to such of the Subleases that Landlord has agreed to take over and assume.

Section 10.08. Sublease Schedule. At any time and from time to time, but not more than once in any six (6)-month period within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s demand, Tenant promptly shall deliver to Landlord a schedule of all Subleases entered into by Tenant, setting forth with respect to each Sublease the names of all Subtenants, the space demised, the term, the existence of any renewal, extension or expansion or similar options, any other known material defaults and any other information requested by Landlord which is then customarily included in a rent roll of similar premises, excluding, however, any economic terms. Upon the reasonable request of Landlord, Tenant shall furnish to Landlord copies of any or all Subleases entered into by Tenant with rent and other sensitive economic terms redacted, containing, inter alia, the name, address, and telephone number of each Subtenant (it being agreed that Tenant shall also deliver into escrow pursuant to Section 41.28 a complete, unredacted copy of the Sublease).

Section 10.09. Sublease Subordination / Qualifying Subleases.

(a) All Subleases shall provide that (x) they are subject to this Lease, (y) the Subtenants will not pay rent or other sums under the Subleases for more than one (1) month in advance (excluding security and other deposits required under such Sublease and excluding any payments required under such Sublease corresponding to PILOT or other payments due hereunder more than one month in advance), and (z) at Landlord’s option, on the termination of this Lease pursuant to Article 24, the Subtenants under Subleases with Tenant will attorn to, or enter into a direct lease on identical terms with, Landlord. With respect to any Qualifying Sublease involving retail space or demising one (1) full floor or more of the Building, at the request of Tenant, Landlord and such Subtenant shall execute the Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement. With respect to any other Qualifying Sublease, Landlord shall not be obligated to execute a Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement, but Landlord shall recognize the Subtenant thereunder as its direct tenant under its Sublease upon any termination of this Lease pursuant to Article 24 and the terms and conditions contained in the Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement shall be deemed to apply to and bind Landlord and such Subtentant upon any such termination as if executed by Landlord and Subtenant.

(b) Within fifteen (15) days after Tenant submits to Landlord a copy of a Sublease (which may be unexecuted but which shall, in all other respects, be in final form) in accordance with Section 31.02, Landlord shall notify Tenant whether the same is, in Landlord’s view, a Qualifying Sublease. If Landlord shall notify Tenant that such Sublease is a Qualifying Sublease, then, with respect to any Qualifying Sublease involving retail space or demising one (1) full floor or more of the Building, promptly after Tenant’s request therefor, each of Landlord and such Subtenant shall duly execute, acknowledge and deliver to one another one or more counterparts of the Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement. If Landlord shall notify Tenant that, in Landlord’s view, the same is not a Qualifying Sublease, Landlord shall together with its notice to Tenant specify the reason for such determination. If any Qualifying Sublease is amended or modified to reduce the basic rent, additional rent, supplemental rent or other charges payable under such Qualifying Sublease (except to the extent equitably reflecting a reduction in the space covered by such Qualifying Sublease), or to shorten or lengthen the term thereof, or to otherwise increase the obligations of Landlord or the rights of the Subtenant thereunder, Tenant may submit such Qualifying Sublease, together with such amendments or modifications thereof, to Landlord in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph and Landlord shall within fifteen (15) days thereafter, notify Tenant whether, in Landlord’s view, such Qualifying Sublease, as so amended or modified, remains a Qualifying Sublease. If Landlord shall notify Tenant that such Qualifying Sublease, as so amended or modified, remains a Qualifying Sublease, then, with respect to any Qualifying Sublease involving retail space or demising one (1) full floor or more of the Building, promptly after Tenant’s request therefor, Landlord and such Subtenant each shall duly execute, acknowledge and deliver to one another one or more counterparts of an amendment to the Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement entered into between them to incorporate therein such amendment or modification to the

Qualifying Sublease. If Landlord shall determine that such Qualifying Sublease, as so amended or modified, does not remain a Qualifying Sublease, Landlord shall together with its notice to Tenant specify the reason for such determination. If there be any dispute as to whether Landlord is correct in its view, as expressed in a timely notice to Tenant in accordance with this Section 10.09, that a Sublease is not a Qualifying Sublease or as to whether any Qualifying Sublease, as amended or modified, remains a Qualifying Sublease, such dispute shall be resolved by arbitration in accordance with the provisions of Article 35. Landlord’s failure to notify Tenant within the fifteen (15)-day period referred to above in this Section 10.09 shall be deemed Landlord’s determination that the Sublease in question is a Qualifying Sublease.

Section 10.10. Certain Mortgagee Rights.

(a) If Tenant shall enter into one or more Mortgages, Tenant or the Mortgagee in question shall give Landlord prompt notice of each such Mortgage and furnish Landlord with a complete and correct copy of each such Mortgage, certified as such by Tenant or such Mortgagee, together with the name and address of such Mortgagee. After receipt of the foregoing, Landlord shall give to such Mortgagee, at the address of such Mortgagee set forth in such notice or to such other address as Mortgagee may from time to time designate by notice given to Landlord in accordance with Article 25, and otherwise in the manner provided by Article 25, a copy of each notice of Default (and a copy of any notice appointing an arbitrator as provided in Article 35) at the same time as, and whenever, any such notice of Default (or notice appointing an arbitrator) shall thereafter be given by Landlord to Tenant, and no such notice of Default (or notice appointing an arbitrator) by Landlord shall be deemed to have been duly given to Tenant unless and until a copy thereof shall have been so given to each Mortgagee. Subject to Section 10.11(d), Landlord shall accept each Mortgagee’s cure of any Tenant Default at any time until thirty (30) days (except that in the case of a Default in the payment of Rental, such number of days shall be ten (10)) after both: (a) Tenant and all Mortgagees have received notice of such Default from Landlord; and (b) Tenant’s cure period for such Default has expired. If any such Default cannot reasonably be cured by a Mortgagee within such period (such period including any time that may be necessary to obtain possession of the Premises), Mortgagee shall have such further time as it reasonably needs so long as it commences to cure within such period and proceeds with reasonable diligence. Landlord shall accept performance by a Mortgagee of any covenant, condition or agreement on Tenant’s part to be performed hereunder with the same force and effect as though performed by Tenant.

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 10.10(a) and 24.01 hereof, provided that Landlord has received the notice of each Mortgagee provided for in Section 10.10(a), Landlord may not give notice to Tenant of the expiration and termination of this Lease as provided in Section 24.03(a) unless it shall have given each Mortgagee a notice that an Event of Default has occurred (taking into account the cure periods provided in

Section 10.10(a)) and, within five (5) Business Days after such notice, no Mortgagee shall have delivered to Landlord its written agreement to take the action described in clause (i) or (ii) hereinbelow and thereafter, in good faith, shall have commenced promptly either (i) to cure the Default and to prosecute the same to completion (subject to Unavoidable Delays), or (ii) if possession of the Premises is required in order to cure the Default, to institute foreclosure proceedings and obtain possession directly or through a receiver, and to prosecute such proceedings with diligence and continuity and, upon obtaining such possession, commence promptly to cure the Default and to prosecute the same to completion with diligence and continuity (subject, in each case, to any order of a court of competent jurisdiction that enjoins one or more of such actions and other Unavoidable Delays), provided that during the period in which such action is being taken (and any foreclosure proceedings are pending), all of the other obligations of Tenant under this Lease, to the extent they are reasonably susceptible to being performed by the Mortgagee, are being performed. However, at any time after the delivery of the aforementioned agreement, the Mortgagee may notify Landlord, in writing, that it has relinquished possession of the Premises or that it will not institute foreclosure proceedings or, if such proceedings have been commenced, that it has discontinued or will discontinue them, or that Mortgagee otherwise elects not to cure the Default, and in such event, the Mortgagee shall have no further liability under such agreement from and after the date it delivers such notice to Landlord (except for any Rental accruing prior to the date it delivers such notice and any damages suffered by Landlord to the extent arising from a failure by such Mortgagee to discontinue such proceedings or relinquish possession of the Premises), and, thereupon, Landlord shall have the unrestricted right to terminate this Lease and to take any other action it deems appropriate by reason of any Default, and upon any such termination the provisions of Section 10.11 shall apply. Notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary, provided such Mortgagee shall have otherwise complied with the first sentence of this Section 10.10(b), such Mortgagee shall have no obligation to cure any Defaults which are not reasonably susceptible to being cured by such Mortgagee. At the request of such Mortgagee, Landlord shall stipulate to those Defaults which Landlord agrees are not reasonably susceptible of cure.

(c) Except as expressly provided in Section 10.10(b), no Mortgagee shall become liable under the provisions of this Lease unless and until such time as it becomes, and then only for as long as it remains, the owner of the leasehold estate created hereby. In the event that a Mortgagee shall become the owner of such leasehold estate, such Mortgagee shall not be bound by any modification or amendment of this Lease made subsequent to the date of the Mortgage and delivery to Landlord of the notice provided in Section 10.10(a) hereof unless the Mortgagee shall have consented in writing to such modification or amendment.

(d) A copy of any notice of termination given by Landlord to Tenant shall be given by Landlord at the same time and in the same manner to any Mortgagee then entitled to receive copies of notices of Default under Section 10.10(a).

Section 10.11. Lease with Mortgagee.

(a) In the case of termination of this Lease by reason of any Event of Default or otherwise, Landlord shall give prompt notice thereof to each Mortgagee whose name and address Landlord has received pursuant to notice made in compliance with the provisions of Section 10.10(a), at the address of such Mortgagee set forth in such notice, and otherwise in the manner provided by Article 25. Subject to the provisions of Section 10.11(d), Landlord, on written request of a Mortgagee made any time within thirty (30) days after the giving of such notice by Landlord, shall promptly execute and deliver a new lease of the Premises, or such portion thereof as is then covered by the Mortgage, to the Mortgagee, or its designee or nominee, for the remainder of the Term upon all the covenants, conditions, limitations and agreements herein contained, provided that such Mortgagee or such designee or nominee (i) shall pay to Landlord, simultaneously with the delivery of such new lease, all unpaid Rental due under this Lease (but excluding any damages of Landlord constituting or based on an acceleration of Rental), and all amounts which would have been payable as Rental under this Lease had this Lease not so terminated, from the date of termination up to and including the date of the commencement of the term of such new lease and all expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements and court costs and the cost of the title search contemplated by Section 10.11(d), incurred by Landlord in connection with the Default by Tenant, the termination of this Lease, the preparation of the new lease and operating and maintaining the Premises during the period commencing upon such termination and ending upon the commencement of such new lease, less amounts collected by Landlord from Subtenants and (ii) shall cure all Defaults existing under this Lease which are then reasonably susceptible to being cured by such Mortgagee or such designee or nominee. At the request of such Mortgagee, Landlord agrees to stipulate as to Defaults known to be not susceptible to cure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) in no event shall Landlord have the obligation to enter into a new lease with a Person described in Section 10.01(c), (y) if the proposed tenant under the new lease is a Mortgagee Designee, then Landlord’s obligation to enter into the new lease shall be conditioned upon the Mortgagee’s delivering to Landlord the certification required under Section 10.01(f), and (z) if the proposed tenant under the new lease is not a Mortgagee Designee, then Landlord’s obligation to enter into the new lease shall be conditioned upon such proposed tenant’s delivering to Landlord the affidavit required under Section 10.01(d)(i).

(b) Any such new lease and the leasehold estate thereby created shall be subject to the same conditions as are contained in this Lease, continue to maintain the same priority as this Lease with regard to any mortgage on the Premises or any part

thereof or any other lien, charge or encumbrance thereon. Concurrently with the execution and delivery of such new lease, Landlord shall assign to the tenant named therein all of its right, title and interest in and to monies (including insurance and condemnation proceeds), if any, then held by or payable to Landlord or Depository which Tenant would have been entitled to receive but for termination of this Lease, and any sums then held by or payable to Depository shall be deemed to be held by or payable to it as Depository under the new lease.

(c) Upon the execution and delivery of a new lease under this Section 10.11, all Subleases which theretofore have been assigned to, and any leases or Subleases made by, Landlord shall be assigned and transferred, without recourse, by Landlord to the tenant named in such new lease. Until the execution of the new lease or, unless the thirty (30)-day period described in Section 10.11(a) shall have expired without a Mortgagee’s request for a new lease as provided in Section 10.11(a), Landlord shall not cancel any Subleases or accept any cancellation, termination or surrender thereof (unless such termination shall be effected as a matter of law on the termination of this Lease) or enter into any new leases without in each case the consent of the Mortgagee, provided that such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld with respect to a proposed termination of a Sublease by reason of the default of the Subtenant thereunder as permitted in the Subleases or for the purpose of permitting Landlord to enter into Subleases with other subtenants who are not Affiliates of Landlord who will occupy not less than the same amount of space demised by the canceled Subleases at a rental rate per square foot and for a term not less than the rental rate per square foot and the unexpired term, respectively, of the canceled Subleases.

(d) If there is more than one Mortgage, and more than one Mortgagee has attempted to exercise any of the rights afforded by this Section 10.11 or Section 10.10 within the time periods set forth herein or therein, only that Mortgagee, to the exclusion of all other Mortgagees, whose Mortgage is most senior in lien priority shall have, and shall be recognized by Landlord as having, the right to exercise such rights, for so long as such Mortgagee shall be exercising its rights under this Lease with respect thereto, and thereafter, successively, the Mortgagees whose Mortgages are next most senior in lien priority shall be recognized by Landlord, in order of seniority; provided, however, that, except as otherwise provided in Section 10.10(b)(ii), no such Mortgagee shall be entitled to any extension of the initial thirty (30) day period provided for in Section 10.11(a). If the parties shall not agree on which Mortgagee is prior in lien, such dispute shall be determined by a then current certificate of title obtained by Landlord at the sole expense of the tenant under the new lease, issued by a title insurance company licensed to do business in the State of New York chosen by Landlord, and such determination shall bind the parties (including for this purpose each Mortgagee). Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) one or more Mortgagees may designate, by notice to Landlord, a Mortgagee holding a lien that is junior in priority to the liens held by the designating Mortgagees as the Mortgagee which shall have the right to exercise the rights afforded by this Section 10.11

and by Section 10.10 in lieu of such senior Mortgagee(s) (in which event the Mortgagee so designated shall have, and shall be recognized by Landlord as having, such rights) and (ii) a Mortgagee shall be entitled to the rights afforded by this Section 10.11 and by Section 10.10 only if either Tenant or such Mortgagee shall have given Landlord notice of such Mortgage in compliance with the provisions of Section 10.10(a).

(e) In the case of a Mortgage described in clauses (ii) or (iii) of the definition of “Mortgage,” provisions in this Lease that condition Mortgagee’s rights on the commencement of foreclosure proceedings or obtaining or seeking to obtain possession of the Premises shall be construed so that such condition is satisfied by the Mortgagee commencing proceedings for or obtaining or seeking to obtain Control of Tenant. In the case of a Mortgage described in clause (iv) of the definition of “Mortgage,” provisions in this Lease that condition Mortgagee’s rights on the commencement of foreclosure proceedings or obtaining or seeking to obtain possession of the Premises shall be construed so that such condition is satisfied by the Mortgagee commencing dispossession proceedings or obtaining or seeking to obtain possession of the Premises.

Section 10.12. Transfer of Landlord’s Interest. Landlord agrees that (a) it will not make or cause there to be made any mortgage of or other encumbrance against its interest in (i) the fee title to the Premises, (ii) the tenant’s leasehold estate under the Master Lease as applicable to the Premises or (iii) this Lease, and (b) it will not sell, convey, assign or otherwise transfer or relinquish its interest in (i) the fee title to the Premises, (ii) the tenant’s leasehold estate under the Master Lease as applicable to the Premises or (iii) this Lease, except to (x) UDC or any subsidiary thereof, (y) the City of New York or the State of New York or a bureau or department thereof or (z) a public benefit corporation, agency or authority of the State of New York; provided, however, that Landlord shall not sell, convey, assign or otherwise transfer or relinquish its interest in (i) the fee title to the Premises, (ii) the tenant’s leasehold estate under the Master Lease as applicable to the Premises or (iii) this Lease, to any of the entities described in the foregoing clauses (x), (y) and (z) if as a result thereof Taxes would become payable with respect to the Premises, or sales or compensating use taxes would become payable in connection with the purchase of materials, fixtures and equipment to be incorporated into the Premises (title to which immediately vests in Landlord) in connection with the construction of the Building pursuant to Article 11 or the construction work required for the initial occupancy of any portion of the Building. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to prohibit Landlord from selling, conveying, assigning or otherwise transferring or relinquishing its right to receive the Rental payable under this Lease, subject to the rights of offset, credit or other rights of Tenant in respect of Rental expressly provided in this Lease, provided that Taxes shall not become payable with respect to the Premises, or sales or compensating use taxes shall not become payable in connection with the purchase of items subject to the Sales Tax Savings.

ARTICLE 11

CONSTRUCTION OF BUILDING

Section 11.01. Generally. Tenant, using an Approved C/CM shall promptly commence (subject to Unavoidable Delays) on or before the Construction Commencement Date and (subject to Unavoidable Delays) diligently construct the Building in accordance with the Requirements, the Design Guidelines, the Construction Documents and the applicable provisions of this Lease. Tenant shall as soon as practicable, but taking into account the dates by which Tenant is obligated hereunder to commence construction of the Building, obtain from New York City and all other Governmental Authorities all permits, consents, certificates and approvals required to commence construction of the Building (collectively, “Permits”). At the request of Tenant, Landlord, at no cost or expense to it, shall within ten (10) days of Tenant’s request, execute and deliver any documents or instruments reasonably required to obtain such permits, consents, certificates and approvals (it being acknowledged that Tenant is indemnifying Landlord under Section 19.01 for any liabilities or obligations that may be imposed upon Landlord by reason of Landlord’s execution of the same). Tenant shall not undertake Commencement of Construction unless and until (i) Tenant shall have obtained as aforesaid, and delivered to Landlord copies of all necessary permits, consents, certificates and approvals for such construction from all Governmental Authorities which are required to have been obtained prior to Commencement of Construction, (ii) Landlord shall have reviewed and approved the proposed Construction Documents in the manner provided herein and shall have determined that they conform to the Design Guidelines, the Schematics and the Design Development Plans, and Landlord has given notice thereof to Tenant (taking into account Tenant’s rights under Section 11.02(k)), (iii) Tenant shall have complied with Section 11.03(a), and (iv) if Tenant shall have abandoned the Initial Financing Plan (as hereinafter defined) either (x) a building loan Mortgage in an amount sufficient, in Landlord’s judgment, to assure completion of construction of the Building shall have been made for the financing of such construction or (y) Landlord shall have approved a plan submitted by Tenant for paying for the costs of constructing the Building, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. The “Initial Financing Plan” shall mean approximately $1,650,000,000 in tax-exempt “Liberty Bond” financing with any additional amounts funded by capital from Parent, Tenant or any Affiliate thereof. Tenant shall obtain such other permits, consents, certificates and approvals as may be required from time to time to continue and complete the construction of the Building. At the request of either Landlord or Tenant, made at any time after Commencement of Construction, Landlord and Tenant shall execute a certification setting forth the Construction Commencement Date. In the event the parties shall be unable to agree on such date, such dispute shall be resolved by arbitration pursuant to Article 35.

Section 11.02. Approval Process; Other Requirements.

(a) Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that Landlord has approved the preliminary scaled drawings (the “Pre-Schematics”) prepared by the Design Architect

and identified on Schedule D attached to the Designation Letter; provided, however, that in the case of the application of this Section 11.02(a) to any Restoration, Tenant shall submit preliminary scaled drawings prepared by the Design Architect, which preliminary scaled drawings must be consistent with the Design Guidelines, to Landlord for approval in accordance with the time periods applicable to the Schematics under Section 11.02(b).

(b) Landlord acknowledges that Tenant has submitted to Landlord scaled schematic drawings (the “Schematics”) prepared by the Design Architect. If Landlord determines that the Schematics are consistent with the Pre-Schematics and, to the extent not covered in the Pre-Schematics, conform to the Design Guidelines or that Landlord approves such non-conformity, Landlord shall notify Tenant to that effect. If Landlord determines that the Schematics are not consistent with the Pre-schematics or, to the extent not covered in the Pre-Schematics, with the Design Guidelines, and Landlord does not approve of such non-conformity or inconsistency, Landlord shall so notify Tenant, specifying in reasonable detail such inconsistencies or non-conformities. Tenant shall, at its option, (i) revise the Schematics to resolve any such inconsistencies and/or non-conformities and shall resubmit the same to Landlord for review within fifteen (15) Business Days of the date of the above-described notice from Landlord to Tenant that the Schematics do not so conform or such longer period as Tenant may request and Landlord shall approve (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld) or (ii) refer Landlord’s objection to the LMCCC for mediation in a manner consistent with the powers granted to the LMCCC by the Governor of the State of New York and the Mayor of The City of New York by joint executive order and with the rights and responsibilities given to Landlord under the laws of the State of New York. Each review by Landlord shall be carried out (x) in the case of the Schematics, within ten (10) Business Days of the date of submission of the Schematics by Tenant, and (y), in the case of revised Schematics, within five (5) Business Days of the date of submission of the revised Schematics by Tenant. Any negative determination by Landlord shall include Landlord’s specification in reasonable detail the reasons for such determination (and, provided Tenant has complied with Section 31.02, if Landlord shall not have notified Tenant of its determination within the applicable period, it shall be deemed to have determined that the Schematics do conform to the Design Guidelines and are consistent with the Pre-Schematics and to have approved the same). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that Landlord has approved the Schematics for the initial construction of the Building.

(c) Landlord acknowledges that Tenant has submitted to Landlord, design development plans and outline specifications for the Building (the “Design Development Plans”), prepared by the Design Architect and in accordance with Landlord’s submission requirements for the design development phase as set forth in the Design Guidelines except with respect to the canopy, landscape and hard-scape for the pedestrian plaza which Tenant shall submit as part of the Construction Documents. Any material changes in the Design Development Plans from the Schematics shall be identified in reasonable

detail. If Landlord determines that the Design Development Plans are consistent with the Schematics and, to the extent not covered in the Schematics, conform to the Design Guidelines or that Landlord approves such inconsistency and/or non-conformity, Landlord shall notify Tenant to that effect. If Landlord determines that the Design Development Plans are not consistent with the Schematics and, or, to the extent not covered in the Schematics, do not conform to the Design Guidelines, and Landlord does not approve such inconsistency and/or non-conformity, Landlord shall so notify Tenant, specifying in reasonable detail such inconsistencies and/or non-conformities. Tenant shall, at its option, (i) revise the same to eliminate any such inconsistencies and/or non-conformities and shall resubmit the Design Development Plans to Landlord for review within fifteen (15) Business Days of the date of the above-described notice from Landlord to Tenant that the Design Development Plans do not so conform or such longer period as Tenant may request and Landlord shall approve (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld) or (ii) refer Landlord’s objection to the LMCCC for mediation in a manner consistent with the powers granted to the LMCCC by the Governor of the State of New York and the Mayor of The City of New York by joint executive order and with the rights and responsibilities given to Landlord under the laws of the State of New York, except that such mediation procedure shall only apply to the initial construction of the Building. Each review by Landlord shall be carried out (x) in the case of the Design Development Plans, within ten (10) Business Days of the date of submission of the Design Development Plans within five (5) Business Days of the date of submission of the revised Design Development Plans by Tenant. Any negative determination by Landlord shall include Landlord’s specification in reasonable detail the reasons for such determination (and, provided Tenant has complied with Section 31.02, if Landlord shall not have notified Tenant of its determination within the applicable period, it shall be deemed to have determined that the Design Development Plans do conform to the Design Guidelines and the Schematics and to have approved the same). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that Landlord has approved the Design Development Plans for the initial construction of the Building (except with respect to the canopy, landscape and hard-scape for the pedestrian plaza which Tenant shall submit as part of the Construction Documents), the curtain wall design as presented in prior design submissions, the curtain wall mock-up viewed by Landlord and the landscape design (except for those portions described in the previous parenthetical).

(d) Subject to Section 11.02(k) hereof, as soon as practicable, but in no event later than three hundred (300) days after the date hereof, Tenant shall submit to Landlord final contract plans and specifications for the Building, prepared by the Design Architect or the Architect of Record in accordance with Landlord’s requirements set forth in the Design Guidelines, provided that such submission obligation shall be limited to (i) such plans and specifications as are required to be filed with the Department of Buildings; and to the extent any portion of such plans and specifications are not required to be submitted to Landlord by reason of this proviso, such portion shall be made available by Tenant to Landlord for Landlord’s review at the offices of Tenant or its

designee (in New York City) during regular business hours on all Business Days and (ii) a list prepared by Tenant specifying with reasonable particularity those items not provided directly to Landlord pursuant to the terms of clause (i). Any material changes in such final contract plans and specifications from the Design Development Plans shall be identified in reasonable detail. The final contract plans and specifications shall be reviewed by Landlord to determine whether or not they conform to the Design Development Plans and, to the extent not covered in the Design Development Plans, the Design Guidelines. If Landlord determines that they do so conform or that Landlord approves any such inconsistency and/or non-conformity, Landlord shall notify Tenant to that effect. If Landlord determines that the final contract plans and specifications do not so conform, and that Landlord does not approve such inconsistency and/or non-conformity, Landlord shall so notify Tenant and LMCCC, specifying in reasonable detail such inconsistency and/or non-conformities. Tenant shall, at its option, (i) revise any such inconsistencies and/or non-conformities to eliminate the same and shall resubmit the final contract plans and specifications to Landlord (or so much thereof that has not yet been approved) for review within fifteen (15) Business Days of the date of the above-described notice from Landlord to Tenant that such plans and specifications do not so conform or such longer period as Tenant may request and Landlord shall approve (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld) or (ii) refer Landlord’s objection to the LMCCC for mediation in a manner consistent with the powers granted to the LMCCC by the Governor of the State of New York and the Mayor of The City of New York by joint executive order and with the rights and responsibilities given to Landlord under the laws of the State of New York, except that the foregoing notification and mediation procedure shall only apply to the initial construction of the Building. Each review by Landlord shall be carried out (x) in the case of the final contract plans and specifications, within ten (10) Business Days of the date of submission of the final contract plans and specifications by Tenant, and (y), in the case of revised final contract plans and specifications, within five (5) Business Days of the date of submission of the revised final contract plans and specifications by Tenant. Any negative determination by Landlord shall include Landlord’s specification in reasonable detail the reasons for such determination (and, provided Tenant has complied with Section 31.02, if Landlord shall not have notified Tenant of its determination within the applicable period, it shall be deemed to have determined that the final contract plans and specifications do conform to the Design Development Plans and, to the extent not covered in the Design Development Plans, the Design Guidelines and to have approved the same). The contract plans and specifications that have been determined or deemed to have been determined to conform to the Design Guidelines and the Design Development Plans, as the same may be changed from time to time by Tenant and, to the extent such changes are required under Section 11.02(f) to be approved by Landlord, approved by Landlord, are herein referred to as the “Construction Documents.” Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, subject to Unavoidable Delays, Tenant shall cause Commencement of Construction to occur within ninety (90) days of Landlord’s written approval of the final plans and specifications described in Section 11.01(d).

(e) In the event that Tenant shall desire to modify the Construction Documents in a manner which will in any way affect the exterior appearance of the Building (including the quality, height, bulk or setback of the Building or the Building exterior design, finishes and materials) or compliance with the Design Guidelines (including any portion thereof relating to signage visible from the exterior of the Building but excluding any other portion thereof relating to the interior of the Building), Tenant shall submit the proposed modifications to Landlord for approval prior to making or implementing any such modification. All modifications shall be identified in reasonable detail. Landlord shall review the proposed changes to determine whether or not they (i) conform to the Declaration of Restrictions (which review shall in all instances be premised on the irrefutable presumption that Landlord is in compliance with its obligations under Article 43 hereof) and the Design Guidelines, (ii) provide for design, finishes and materials with respect to the exterior of the Building which are comparable in quality to those provided for in the Construction Documents, and (iii) to the extent affecting the primary use, or the quality, height, bulk and setback of the Building, are acceptable to Landlord. If Landlord determines that they do so conform and provide and are so acceptable, Landlord shall notify Tenant to that effect. If Landlord determines that the proposed modifications do not conform to the Declaration of Restrictions, the Design Guidelines or provide for such design, finishes and materials or are not so acceptable, Landlord shall so notify Tenant and the LMCCC, specifying in reasonable detail those respects in which they do not so conform or provide or are not so acceptable, as applicable, and Tenant shall, at its option, (i) revise the same to meet Landlord’s objections and shall resubmit them to Landlord for review within fifteen (15) Business Days of the date of notice from Landlord to Tenant that they do not so conform or provide or such longer period as Landlord in its reasonable judgment may approve or (ii) refer Landlord’s objection to the LMCCC for mediation in a manner consistent with the powers granted to the LMCCC by the Governor of the State of New York and the Mayor of The City of New York by joint executive order and with the rights and responsibilities given to Landlord under the laws of the State of New York, except that the foregoing notification and mediation procedure shall only apply to the initial construction of the Building. Each review by Landlord shall be carried out within ten (10) Business Days of the date of submission of the proposed modifications by Tenant, as the case may be (and, provided Tenant has complied with Section 31.02, if Landlord shall not have notified Tenant of its determination within the applicable period, it shall be deemed to have determined that the proposed modifications are satisfactory). Landlord shall not disapprove items in the proposed Construction Documents that Landlord has previously specifically determined to be satisfactory, provided that the same have not been modified by Tenant.

(f) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 11.02(e), if, after the Commencement of Construction, Tenant makes a good faith determination that any proposed modification which requires Landlord’s approval under Section 11.02(e) is of a minor or insubstantial nature, Tenant may so advise the then existing project manager

designated by Landlord or if no project manager shall have been designated, Landlord’s Director, Planning and Design (such Project Manager or Director, “Landlord’s Project Manager”) (delivering to him or her a written statement setting forth the proposed modification and the basis for Tenant’s determination and simultaneously delivering copies of said statement to Landlord’s President and Chief Executive Officer and (if not Landlord’s Project Manager) Director, Planning and Design). Landlord’s Project Manager shall, in writing, before the expiration of the fifth full Business Day after the receipt of said advice, either (i) notify Tenant of approval of said proposed modification or (ii) notify Tenant that Tenant is required to submit the proposed modification to Landlord as provided in Section 11.02(e). In the event Landlord’s Project Manager acts in accordance with (ii) above, Landlord, after receipt from Tenant of the proposed modification, shall endeavor to expedite its review thereof and notification to Tenant of its determination. Nothing set forth in this Section 11.02(f) shall require Landlord to notify Tenant of Landlord’s determination earlier than the expiration of the applicable period set forth in Section 11.02(e) with respect to such modification, provided, however, that if Landlord’s Project Manager shall not have notified Tenant of either (i) or (ii) above within the five (5) Business Day period set forth above and Tenant shall have complied with Section 31.02, Landlord shall be deemed to have approved the proposed modification.

(g) The Construction Documents shall comply with the Requirements, including but not limited to the Building Code of New York City. The responsibility to assure such compliance shall be Tenant’s; Landlord’s determination that the proposed Construction Documents conform to the Design Guidelines shall not be, nor shall it be construed to be or relied upon as, a determination that the Construction Documents comply with the Requirements. In the event that there shall be a conflict between the Requirements and the Design Guidelines, the Requirements shall prevail.

(h) In addition to the documents referred to in Section 11.01 and this Section 11.02, Tenant shall, at least thirty (30) Business Days prior to ordering the same for incorporation into the Building, submit to Landlord samples of all materials to be used on the exterior of the Building, including windows, and the same shall be subject to Landlord’s approval for conformity to the Construction Documents or, if there are no relevant Construction Documents at such time, to the Design Development Plans; provided, however, that where Landlord has previously approved a sample, Tenant need not resubmit such item for approval unless the actual material varies from the sample (not including minor variations resulting from natural or normally occurring conditions within the identified sample). If Landlord shall have failed to object to any of such materials within ten (10) Business Days after its receipt of such materials, then, provided Tenant has complied with Section 31.02), Landlord shall be deemed to have approved such materials. Landlord reserves the right at its sole cost and expense to have its field personnel visit the Premises to observe Tenant’s construction methods and techniques. Landlord shall be entitled at its sole cost and expense to have its field personnel or other

designees meet with Tenant’s construction personnel to discuss job and/or safety issues and other matter reasonably requested by them. No such observation or attendance by Landlord’s personnel or designees shall impose upon Landlord any responsibility for any failure by Tenant to observe the Requirements or safety practices in connection with such construction, or constitute an acceptance of any work which does not comply in all respects with the Requirements and the provisions of this Lease.

(i) Tenant acknowledges that the maximum permissible “floor area,” as such term is defined in the Zoning Resolution of the City of New York (“Zoning Floor Area”), for the Land shall be One Million Eight Hundred Eighty Seven Thousand Four Hundred Ninety (1,887,490) square feet as computed in accordance with Section 12-10 of the Zoning Resolution. Tenant may elect to utilize less than such maximum permissible Zoning Floor Area. All development rights to Zoning Floor Area not utilized in the initial construction of the Building remain available for future use by Tenant (and not by Landlord) but only with the written consent of Landlord.

(j) Tenant shall not construct or permit to exist any Building on the Land (x) unless the Building is in compliance with the Design Guidelines and (y) Tenant is in compliance with the applicable waiting periods after Schematics and Design Development Plans submissions as required under Section 11.02(b) and Section 11.02(c), respectively.

(k) Tenant acknowledges that (i) the New York State Historic Preservation Officer (the “SHPO”) has identified the New York City Xxxxxx River Bulkhead from Battery Place to West 59^th Street (the “Bulkhead”) for eligibility for the National Register of Historic Places and (ii) portions of the Bulkhead below grade encroach onto the Land. Tenant agrees (without limiting Tenant’s rights under Section 14.02) that it will (x) take steps to avoid, minimize or mitigate any potential adverse impact to the Bulkhead and (y) comply with all applicable Requirements relating to the Bulkhead and the “March 31, 2000 Programmatic Agreement among the United States Army Corps of Engineers, SHPO and the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation Regarding the Development of the Xxxxxx River Park along Manhattan’s West side in New York City, New York.” Tenant represents and warrants that it has taken steps to identify the location of the bulkhead in advance of the final design and prior to start of construction.

(l) Landlord acknowledges and agrees that in order to meet Tenant’s construction schedule, Tenant may be required to “fast track” certain aspects of the final detailed plans and specifications and of the excavation and foundation stage of the construction process. Landlord agrees, within the limitations of sound construction practice, to cooperate with Tenant, as reasonably requested from time to time by Tenant, in “fast tracking” the construction of the Building as aforesaid. Such cooperation may include (i) shortening the review periods provided for herein, and (ii) reviewing certain aspects of the proposed Design Development Plans and proposed Construction

Documents prior to completion and submission to Landlord of every aspect thereof. In addition, Landlord agrees that Tenant shall be permitted to begin excavation, foundation work and construction of below-grade structural components of the Improvements, prior to completion and approval by Landlord of the proposed Construction Documents.

(m) References in this Lease to Landlord’s “review and approval” or “approval” of the Schematics, Design Development Plans and/or Construction Documents or words of similar meaning shall mean Landlord’s review and approval of such documents in accordance with and subject to the provisions of this Section 11.02, including, without limitation, the limits contained herein on the criteria Landlord may use in conducting such review and approval.

Section 11.03. Insurance.

Section 11.12. Design/Construction Period Letter of Credit.

(a) Tenant shall secure its obligations under this Lease through Completion of the Building, including, without limitation, Tenant’s obligation for the payment of Rental, by depositing with Landlord a clean irrevocable letter of credit (the “Design/Construction Period Letter of Credit”) drawn in favor of Landlord, substantially in the form of Exhibit J, with such changes therein as Tenant may request and Landlord shall approve (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), having a term of not less than one (1) year, payable in United States dollars upon presentation of one or more sight drafts, issued by and drawn on a recognized commercial bank or trust company which is a member of the New York Clearing House Association or which is satisfactory to Landlord. The initial amount of the Design/Construction Period Letter of Credit shall be Eighteen Million Eight Hundred Seventy Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($18,870,000.00). Except as hereinafter provided, the Design/Construction Period Letter of Credit shall be renewed or replaced without decrease in amount each and every year as provided herein. Each Replacement Letter of Credit shall be delivered to Landlord not less than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Design/Construction Period Letter of Credit or then current Replacement Letter of Credit. The failure of Tenant to renew

the Design/Construction Period Letter of Credit or any Replacement Letter of Credit in accordance with this Section 11.12 and Article 42 hereof shall entitle Landlord to present the Design/Construction Period Letter of Credit or Replacement Letter of Credit for payment and the proceeds (together with any interest earned thereon) shall be applied as provided in Section 11.12(b). If Landlord shall obtain the proceeds of the Letter of Credit, Tenant’s failure to renew the Letter of Credit shall not constitute a Default under this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing hereunder, then upon payment in full of the Base Rent (or if at such time an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then upon the cure of such Event of Default), Tenant shall have the right to reduce the Design/Construction Period Letter of Credit or the Replacement Letter of Credit, as applicable, to One Million and 00/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00), and Landlord shall provide Tenant with such authorization to so reduce the Design/Construction Period Letter of Credit as the issuer thereof may require or, at Tenant’s request, shall surrender the same to Tenant in exchange for a Replacement Letter of Credit in the amount of One Million and 00/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00). Upon and after such reduction of the Design/Construction Period Letter of Credit or Replacement Letter of Credit, as applicable (or as an alternative to such reduction or exchange, Tenant shall have the option to replace the Design/Construction Period Letter of Credit or Replacement Letter of Credit), with a deposit of immediately available funds in the amount of One Million and 00/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00) to be held by Landlord in accordance with the terms hereof (the “Additional Deposit”). Alternatively, if upon payment in full of the Base Rent, Landlord or the Depository shall be holding all or any portion of the proceeds of either of the Design/Construction Period Letter of Credit or the Replacement Letter of Credit, then, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and then be continuing hereunder (or if at such time an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then upon the cure of such Event of Default), Landlord shall repay to Tenant the excess of such proceeds over One Million and 00/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00) and the balance shall be held as the Additional Deposit.

(b) If prior to the Completion of the Building in accordance with the Construction Documents, an Event of Default shall occur, whether or not this Lease is thereby terminated, then until such time as such Event of Default is either cured or waived, Landlord is hereby authorized by Tenant to present the Design/Construction Period Letter of Credit or any Replacement Letter of Credit for payment. In the event this Lease is terminated in accordance with the provisions of Article 24 or Tenant is dispossessed by summary proceedings or otherwise as provided in Section 24.03(b), Landlord is hereby authorized by Tenant, to retain all of the proceeds thereof as liquidated damages which shall, except with respect to Recourse Claims, be Landlord’s sole monetary remedy against Tenant, but same shall not in any way limit Landlord’s right to terminate this Lease or to dispossess Tenant from the Premises. In the event this Lease is not terminated or Tenant is not dispossessed, Landlord is hereby authorized by Tenant to apply all or a portion of said proceeds to the payment of any sums then due or

100

thereafter becoming due under this Lease and to the payment of any damages or costs to Landlord resulting from such Event of Default without relieving Tenant of any liability to the extent said proceeds shall be insufficient for such purposes and to retain the balance thereof pending further application or payment to Tenant as hereinafter provided (subject, however, to Section 41.07). Unless theretofore presented by Landlord, on the date of Completion of the Building, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant the Design Construction Period Letter of Credit or any Replacement Letter of Credit or if presented, the proceeds thereof less any amounts applied by Landlord in accordance with this Lease, or the Additional Deposit less any amounts applied in accordance with this Lease, as applicable, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing hereunder; it being understood and agreed that if any such Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing under this Lease on the date of the Completion of the Building and Landlord shall not have elected to terminate this Lease in accordance with the provisions of Article 24 or otherwise or Tenant is not dispossessed by summary proceedings or otherwise as provided in Section 24.03(b), Landlord shall deliver to Tenant the Design Construction Period Letter of Credit or any Replacement Letter of Credit or refund to the Tenant all remaining proceeds or funds, if any, of the Design/Construction Period Letter of Credit, Replacement Letter of Credit or the Additional Deposit, as the case may be, upon the curing of any such Event of Default after applying all or a portion of said proceeds or funds to the payments of any sums then due under this Lease as a result of such Event of Default and to the payment of any damages or costs to Landlord resulting from such Event of Default (but excluding any obligations that may have been accelerated by Landlord as a result of such Event of Default).

Section 11.13. Work Rules. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in connection with the Project, the hours of allowed work will be the maximum permitted under laws and regulations generally applicable to similar construction projects in The City of New York outside of Battery Park City or, to the extent the applicable rules are more permissive, projects located in Battery Park City. Landlord will facilitate and otherwise support Tenant and its contractors in obtaining any waivers or permits required for weekend or other overtime work, including, to the extent available, waivers by virtue of the fact that the improvements are owned by a state agency and will generally expedite and facilitate the process for obtaining permits and approvals. Landlord will facilitate and otherwise support long term duration single fee permitting for nuisance permits. Landlord will facilitate expedited sidewalk, street closing, crane access permits and other similar permits as may be required.

(b) [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED]

(c) Within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s written request from time to time (but not more often than semi-annually), Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a progress report from the Environmental Consultant in form approved by Landlord (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), which shall describe in reasonable detail what measures Tenant is taking in order to achieve LEED Compliance.

(d) On a monthly basis prior to the Substantial Completion of the Building, and after the first anniversary of said date, upon Landlord’s request from time to time, Tenant shall make itself and the Environmental Consultant and, prior to Substantial Completion, the Design Architect and/or the Architect of Record and the Approved C/CM available to meet or otherwise confer with Landlord to discuss Tenant’s LEED Compliance or any construction relating thereto. If Tenant uses reasonable efforts to cause the Design Architect and/or the Architect of Record, the Environmental Consultant and the Approved C/CM to attend the meetings referred to in this Section 11.14(d) (such reasonable efforts to include without limitation, keeping effective retention agreements in place with such parties) and one or more of said parties does not attend or refuses to attend for any reason other than Tenant’s willful default under any agreement between Tenant and the non-attending party in connection with the Premises, then the failure of any one or more of said parties to attend any said meeting shall not constitute a Default under this Lease.

(e) Tenant agrees that:

(i) within a reasonable period after Landlord’s request therefor, it will provide Landlord with any and all information relating to the components of the Building designed to achieve LEED Compliance (“Green Building Systems”) (as distinct from the general construction methods and procedures, and general real estate management, operation and maintenance systems and protocols that Tenant employs in connection with the Building), excluding however, information pertaining to construction costs and associated professional fees (and it is agreed that Tenant shall not be required to disclose to Landlord, and Landlord shall not be permitted to disclose to others, any such cost information) provided that Tenant shall not be required to disclose pursuant to the above terms of this clause (i) any information that, in Tenant’s reasonable judgment, would adversely affect the security of the Premises, assuming (for purposes of determining the reasonableness of such judgment) that such information would be publicly available either by, or as a result of its delivery to, Landlord;

102

(ii) any information provided by Tenant or otherwise relating to the Green Building Systems (but not information pertaining to construction costs or associated professional fees or the general construction methods and procedures, and general real estate management, operation and maintenance systems and protocols that Tenant employs in connection with the Building) may be used and/or disseminated by Landlord in connection with promotional or educational materials, in connection with the development of present and future building sites and in any other manner reasonably intended to provide information concerning environmentally responsible and sustainable construction practices; and

(iii) at Landlord’s request, made at least thirty (30) days prior to the date that Tenant’s cooperation is required, Tenant will cooperate with Landlord in any manner that is not unduly burdensome to Tenant, in any demonstrations, promotional and/or educational materials, presentations or similar materials or events relating to the Green Building Systems; provided that Tenant shall not be required to attend any such demonstrations, presentations or events.

Section 11.15. Payment of Contractors. Tenant shall pay or cause to be paid when due all contractors, mechanics, materialmen, suppliers and similar Persons employed by or on behalf of Tenant in connection with the initial construction of the Building, subject to Tenant’s rights to contest the same, in accordance with Section 16.02 and in good faith.

Landlord hereby agrees to use all reasonable good faith efforts to obtain an amendment to that certain mapping agreement, made as of the October 3, 1991, among Landlord and the City, so as to implement the street and curb configuration required in the Proposal (and shall use reasonable good faith efforts to implement such street and curb configuration on a temporary basis prior to such amendment being obtained), it being acknowledged that Landlord makes no representation or warranty with respect to is ability to obtain such amendment or the likelihood that such amendment will be obtained.

Section 11.18. Cooperation. Landlord will cooperate with Tenant and Public Parties in the construction of the Specific Downtown Properties and the development and implementation of the Plan to the extent Landlord’s cooperation is necessary or will otherwise benefit the successful construction or development and implementation of the same each in

103

accordance with the Proposal; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not require Landlord to expend any material amount of money except to the extent the Proposal or this Lease specifically contemplates so.

any portion of such plans and specifications or other submission items are not required to be submitted to Landlord by reason of this sentence, such portion shall be made available by Tenant to Landlord for Landlord’s review at the offices of Tenant or its designee (in the Borough of Manhattan, New York) during regular business hours on Business Days and (y) a list prepared by Tenant specifying with reasonable particularity those submission items not provided directly to Landlord under Subsection (x) hereof; and

(B) Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord, subject to the rights of any Mortgagee, the contract(s) or construction management agreement pursuant to which the Restoration is being undertaken by Tenant and the bonds, if any, provided thereunder, the parties acknowledging, however, that said assignment shall not impose any obligations on Landlord with respect to the contracts so assigned unless and until Landlord, in its sole discretion, elects in writing to assume the obligations under said contracts or agreements.

(b) Notwithstanding that the cost of any Capital Improvement is less than Five Million and 00/100 Dollars ($5,000,000) (as such amount shall be increased as provided in Section 7.02(a)), such cost to be determined as provided in Section 8.02(b), to the extent that any portion of the Capital Improvement affects the structural integrity of the Building or the exterior appearance of the Building (including the quality, height, bulk or setback of the Building or the Building exterior design, finishes and materials) or compliance with the Design Guidelines (including any portion thereof relating to signage visible from the exterior of the Building but excluding any other portion thereof relating to the interior of the Building), or seek to change the primary use of the Building in each case from that existing immediately prior to the Capital Improvement, then Tenant shall furnish to Landlord at least twenty (20) Business Days prior to commencement of the Capital Improvement, complete plans and specifications for the Capital Improvement, prepared by a licensed professional engineer or registered architect approved by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, and, at Landlord’s request, such other items designated in Section 13.02(a)(ii) hereof, all of the foregoing to be subject to Landlord’s review and approval as provided therein. In addition, if Landlord shall reasonably determine that the services of an independent architect or engineer are required in order for it to adequately review the plans and specifications describing the proposed Capital Improvement or inspect the work on behalf of Landlord, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the reasonable fees and expenses of such independent architect or engineer selected by Landlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant’s submission obligation under this subsection (b) shall be limited to (i) such plans and specifications as are required to be filed with the Department of Buildings and, to the extent any portion of such plans and specifications are not required to be submitted to Landlord by reason of this sentence, such portion or item shall be made available by Tenant to Landlord for

108

Landlord’s review at the offices of Tenant or its designee (in the Borough of Manhattan, New York) during regular business hours on Business Days and (ii) a list prepared by Tenant specifying with reasonable particularity those items not provided directly to Landlord pursuant to the terms of clause (i).

(c) Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing of Landlord’s determination with respect to any request for approval required under this Section 13.02 within fifteen (15) Business Days of the later of (i) Landlord’s receipt of such request from Tenant or (ii) Landlord’s receipt of the plans and specifications and the drawings, information or samples which Landlord shall have requested in accordance with Section 13.02(a)(ii). Landlord shall specify in reasonable detail the reasons for any disapproval. Landlord’s failure to so notify Tenant within said time period shall be deemed to constitute approval of the proposed Capital Improvement by Landlord. Tenant shall not commence any Capital Improvement with respect to which approval is required under this Section 13.02 until Landlord shall have given, or shall be deemed to have given, such approval required under this Section 13.02.

(d) In the event that Tenant shall desire to modify the plans and specifications which Landlord theretofore has approved pursuant to Section 13.02(a)(ii) or 13.02(b) with respect to, or which will in any way affect, the exterior appearance of the Building (including the quality, height, bulk or setback of the Building or the Building exterior design, finishes and materials) or compliance with the Design Guidelines (including any portion thereof relating to signage visible from the exterior of the Building but excluding any other portion thereof relating to the interior of the Building), or which change the primary use, quality, height, bulk and setback of the Building in each case from that previously approved by Landlord, Tenant shall submit the proposed modifications to Landlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant’s submission obligation under this subsection (d) shall be limited to (i) such plans and specifications as are required to be filed with the Department of Buildings and, to the extent any portion of such plans and specifications are not required to be submitted to Landlord by reason of this sentence, such portion or item shall be made available by Tenant to Landlord for Landlord’s review at the offices of Tenant or its designee (in the Borough of Manhattan, New York) during regular business hours on Business Days and (ii) a list prepared by Tenant specifying with reasonable particularity those items not provided directly to Landlord pursuant to the terms of clause (i). Landlord shall review the proposed changes to determine whether or not they (x) conform to the Design

109

Guidelines (except, as aforesaid, to the extent relating to the interior of the Building) and (y) in Landlord’s judgment, reasonably exercised, provide for design, finishes and materials which are comparable in quality to those provided for in the approved plans and specifications and shall approve such proposed changes if they do so conform and so provide. If Landlord determines that the proposed changes are not satisfactory in light of the above criteria, it shall so advise Tenant, specifying in reasonable detail in what respect the plans and specifications, as so modified, do not conform to the Design Guidelines (except, as aforesaid, to the extent relating to the interior of the Building) or do not provide for design, finishes and materials which are comparable in quality to those provided for in the approved plans and specifications. Within twenty (20) Business Days after Landlord shall have so advised Tenant or such longer period as Landlord in its reasonable judgment may approve, Tenant shall revise the plans and specifications so as to meet Landlord’s objections and shall deliver same to Landlord for review or shall notify Landlord of its decision not to proceed with the Capital Improvement. Each review by Landlord shall be carried out within fifteen (15) Business Days of the date of submission of the proposed changes or delivery of the plans and specifications, as so revised (or one or more portions thereof), as the case may be, by Tenant (and provided Tenant has complied with Section 31.02), if Landlord shall not have notified Tenant of its determination within such period, it shall be deemed to have determined that the proposed changes are satisfactory. Landlord shall not review portions of the approved plans and specifications which Landlord has previously determined to be satisfactory, provided that the same have not been changed by Tenant.

Section 13.03. Architect; Surveys, Etc. All Capital Improvements shall be carried out under the supervision of an architect selected by Tenant and approved by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Promptly following the completion of any Capital Improvement Tenant shall deliver to Landlord or, at Tenant’s option, into escrow pursuant to Section 41.28, a complete set of “as built” plans or the previously delivered plans and specification marked with “field changes” and, where applicable, a survey meeting the requirements of Section 11.04 hereof, together with a temporary Certificate of Occupancy therefor and within a reasonable time thereafter, and before the expiration thereof (or of any renewals thereof), a permanent Certificate of Occupancy, in each case issued by the Department of Buildings, to the extent a modification thereof was required.

Section 13.04. Title to Improvements. Title to all additions, alterations, improvements and replacements made to the Building that comprise the Building or constitute Equipment shall forthwith vest in Landlord as provided in Section 11.05, without any obligation by Landlord to pay any compensation therefor to Tenant.

Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else herein to the contrary, Tenant shall not be required to comply with Requirements of Landlord except (i) as otherwise expressly provided in this Lease or (ii) Requirements of the City of New York acting solely in its capacity as a Governmental Authority. If compliance with this Lease would violate the Requirements, and if such violation is the only commercially reasonable means of achieving such compliance, then the Requirements shall control and if Tenant complies with the Requirements its actions shall not effect a Default hereunder.

Section 14.02. Requirements Contests. Tenant shall have the right to contest the validity of any Requirements or the application thereof. During such contest, compliance with any such contested Requirements may be deferred by Tenant upon condition that, if Tenant is not an Institutional Lender, before instituting any such proceeding, if the cost of compliance with the Requirement being disputed exceeds Five Million and 00/100 Dollars ($5,000,000) (such amount to be adjusted in the manner described in Section 7.02(a)), Tenant shall furnish to Landlord or deposit with the Depository a Qualifying Guaranty, bond, cash or other security reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, securing compliance with the contested Requirements and payment of all interest, penalties, fines, fees and expenses in connection therewith. Any such proceeding instituted by Tenant shall be commenced reasonably promptly after the issuance of any such contested matters, or after notice (actual or constructive) to Tenant of the applicability of such matters to the Premises and shall be prosecuted to final adjudication with reasonable dispatch. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant promptly shall comply with any such Requirements and compliance shall not be deferred if such non-compliance shall result in the imminent loss or forfeiture of the Premises, or any part thereof or if Landlord shall be in danger of being subject to criminal liability by reason of non-compliance therewith. Subject to the proviso set forth below,

111

Landlord shall cooperate with Tenant in any such proceeding and, if any law, rule or regulation at the time in effect shall require that such proceeding be brought by Landlord, then Landlord shall join in such proceeding, provided that (i) Tenant shall, at Landlord’s option, pay in advance, or reimburse Landlord for, all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection therewith, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements; (ii) such cooperation and/or joining in such proceeding would not, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, result in, or pose any material risk that same will result in, criminal liability being imposed on Landlord; and (iii) Landlord has no good faith objection to the contest on policy grounds.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall not be required to replace any Equipment that performed a function that has become obsolete or otherwise is no longer necessary or desirable in connection with the use or operation of the Premises, unless such failure to replace would result in reduction (in any material respect) of the level of maintenance of the Premises, in which case Tenant shall be required to install such Equipment as may be necessary to prevent such reduction.

Section 15.02. Maintenance of Equipment. Tenant shall keep all Equipment in good order and repair and (subject to Tenant’s rights not to replace Equipment under Section 15.01) shall replace the same when necessary with items at least equal in utility and value to Equipment being replaced.

If Tenant shall fail to cause such lien to be discharged of record within the period aforesaid, and if such lien shall continue for an additional twenty (20) days after notice by Landlord to Tenant, then, in addition to any other right or remedy, Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, discharge the same either by paying the amount claimed to be due or by procuring the discharge of such lien by deposit or by bonding proceedings, and in any such event, Landlord shall be entitled, if Landlord so elects, to compel the prosecution of an action for the foreclosure of such lien by the lienor and to pay the amount of the judgment in favor of the lienor with interest, costs and allowances. Any amount so paid by Landlord, including all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection therewith including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, together with interest thereon at the Involuntary Rate, from the respective dates of Landlord’s making the payment of any such amount or any such costs and expenses, shall constitute Rental and shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord within ten (10) days after demand. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 16.02, Tenant shall not be required to discharge any such lien if Tenant is in good faith contesting the same and has furnished a cash deposit, a Qualifying Guaranty or a security bond or other such security reasonably satisfactory to Landlord (under an agreement providing for the application thereof reasonably satisfactory to Landlord) or to any Mortgagee that is an Institutional Lender or Depository in an amount sufficient to pay such lien with interest and penalties.

114

Section 16.03. No Landlord Consent to Performance of Services. Nothing in this Lease contained shall be deemed or construed in any way as constituting the consent or request of Landlord, express or implied, by inference or otherwise, to any contractor, subcontractor, laborer or materialman for the performance of any labor or the furnishing of any materials for any specific improvement, alteration to or repair of the Premises or any part thereof, nor as giving Tenant any right, power or authority to contract for or permit the rendering of any services or the furnishing of materials that would give rise to the filing of any lien against Landlord’s interest in the Premises or any part thereof, the Project Area or any part thereof, or any assets of, or funds appropriated to, Landlord. Notice is hereby given, and Tenant shall cause all Construction Agreements to provide in substance, that Landlord shall not be liable for any work performed or to be performed at the Premises for Tenant and any Subtenant or for any materials furnished or to be furnished at the Premises for any of the foregoing, and that no mechanic’s or other lien for such work or materials shall attach to or affect the estate or interest of Landlord in and to the Premises or any part thereof, the Project Area or any part thereof, or any assets of, or funds appropriated to, Landlord.

Section 16.04. No Liens. Tenant shall have no power to do any act or make any contract which may create or be the foundation for any lien, mortgage or other encumbrance upon the estate or assets of, or funds appropriated to, Landlord or upon any interest of Landlord in the Premises; provided, however, that this limitation shall not be construed to prohibit Tenant from hiring contractors, laborers or materialmen for the performance of work at the Premises or otherwise to preclude Tenant from discharging its obligations under this Lease.

If there shall occur and be continuing an Event of Default under this Lease and after the expiration of applicable grace periods, if any, provided under this Lease for a Mortgagee to cure or commence to cure same, Landlord, without waiving or releasing Tenant from any obligation of Tenant contained in this Lease, may (but shall be under no obligation to) perform the obligation, the breach of which gave rise to such Event of Default on Tenant’s behalf. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to give Tenant notice (which may be oral) prior to entering the Premises for such purpose.

Section 21.02. Cost of Landlord’s Performance. All reasonable sums paid by Landlord and all reasonable costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, incurred by Landlord in connection with its performance of any obligation pursuant to Section 21.01 shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord within ten (10) days after Landlord shall have submitted to Tenant a statement, in reasonable detail, substantiating the amount demanded by Landlord, together with interest thereon at the Involuntary Rate from the respective dates of Landlord’s making of each such payment until the date of actual repayment to Landlord. Any payment or performance by Landlord pursuant to Section 21.01 shall not be nor be deemed to be a waiver or release of the breach or default of Tenant with respect thereto or of the right of Landlord to terminate this Lease, institute summary proceedings or take such other action as may be permissible hereunder or otherwise provided at law or in equity if an Event of Default by Tenant shall have occurred. Landlord shall not be limited in the proof of any damages which Landlord may claim against Tenant arising out of or by reason of Tenant’s failure to provide and keep insurance in force as required hereunder to the amount of the insurance premium or premiums not paid, but Landlord also shall be entitled to recover, as damages for such breach, the uninsured amount of any loss and damage and the reasonable costs and expenses of suit, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, suffered or incurred by reason of damage to or destruction of the Premises.

ARTICLE 23

PERMITTED USE; NO UNLAWFUL OCCUPANCY

Section 23.01. Compliance; Type of Use. Tenant may use the Premises for any use permitted by applicable zoning regulations and not prohibited by Section 23.02.

Section 23.02. Non-Permitted Uses. Tenant shall not use or occupy, nor permit or suffer the Premises or any part thereof to be used or occupied (a) for any unlawful or illegal business, use or purpose; (b) in such manner as to constitute a nuisance of any kind (public or private); (c) for any dangerous or noxious trade or business; (d) for any purpose or in any way in violation of any Requirements; (e) in such a manner as may reasonably be expected to make void or voidable any insurance then in force on the Premises; or (e) without Landlord’s consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, for any purpose which would require a “special permit” as such term is defined in the Zoning Resolution, provided, however, that if all or any portion of the Premises is occupied by Tenant or any Subtenant, the permitted assignees of such Subtenant’s interest in its Sublease, or the subtenants of any of the foregoing, a use may be continued by any of the foregoing if such use was permitted without a special permit at the time such use commenced (notwithstanding that such use may have been interrupted temporarily by any Capital Improvement, Restoration or repair). Nothing contained in this Section 23.02 shall limit or modify Tenant’s right and obligation pursuant to Section 8.01 to Restore the Premises following any casualty or taking. Tenant shall take, immediately upon the discovery of any use prohibited under this Section 23.02, all necessary actions, legal and equitable, to compel the discontinuance of such use. If for any reason Tenant shall fail to take such actions, and such failure shall continue for thirty (30) days after notice from Landlord to Tenant (or such longer period as may be permitted in accordance with Section 24.01(c)) specifying such failure, Landlord is hereby irrevocably authorized (but not obligated) to take all such actions in Tenant’s name and on Tenant’s behalf. All reasonable sums paid by Landlord and all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Landlord acting pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements), shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord within ten (10) days after demand, together with interest thereon at the Involuntary Rate from the respective dates of Landlord’s making of each such payment until the date of receipt of repayment by Landlord.

Section 23.03. No Impairment of Title; Adverse Possession. Tenant shall not knowingly suffer or permit the Premises or any portion thereof (with the exception of the right-of-way area described in Section 26.01(b)(iv)) to be used by the public in such manner as might reasonably tend to impair title to the Premises or any portion thereof, or in such manner as might reasonably make possible a claim or claims of adverse usage or adverse possession by the public, as such, or of implied dedication of the Premises or any portion thereof. In furtherance thereof, Tenant shall have the right to close any or all of the public areas of the Premises to the public for one (1) day in each calendar year, such day to be a holiday observed by both the State of New York and the federal government, or such other period as is necessary to prevent such

125

impairment of title, creation of claim or implied dedication; provided, however, that Tenant may not so close the right-of-way area described in Section 26.01(b)(iv) unless (x) Tenant has obtained the consent of all parties with a contractual right to use or approve the use of such right-of-way area, and (y) such closure is otherwise reasonably acceptable to Landlord.

(d) to the extent permitted by law, if Tenant shall admit, in writing, that it is unable to pay its debts as such become due;

(e) to the extent permitted by law, if Tenant shall make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors;

127

the appointment of any trustee, receiver, custodian, assignee, sequestrator, liquidator or other similar official of Tenant, or of all or any substantial part of its properties or of the Premises or any interest therein of Tenant, or if Tenant shall take any corporate action in furtherance of any action described in Section 24.01(d), (e) or (f) hereof;

(g) to the extent permitted by law, (i) if within ninety (90) days after the commencement of any proceeding against Tenant seeking any reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or similar relief under the present or any future federal bankruptcy code or any other present or future applicable federal, state or other statute or law, such proceeding shall not have been dismissed or (ii) if, within ninety (90) days after the appointment, without the consent or acquiescence of Tenant, of any trustee, receiver, custodian, assignee, sequestrator, liquidator or other similar official of Tenant or of all or any substantial part of its properties or of the Premises or any interest therein of Tenant, such appointment shall not have been vacated or stayed on appeal or otherwise, or if, within thirty (30) days after the expiration of any such stay, such appointment shall not have been vacated;

(h) if this Lease or the estate of Tenant hereunder shall be assigned, subleased by Tenant, transferred, mortgaged or encumbered, or there shall be a Transfer without Landlord’s approval to the extent required hereunder or without compliance with the provisions of this Lease applicable thereto and such transaction shall not be made to comply or voided ab initio within thirty (30) days after notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant;

128

exist as long as Tenant shall have commenced curing the same within such thirty (30) day period and shall, subject to Unavoidable Delays, diligently, continuously and in good faith prosecute the same to completion);

(l) if any guarantor under a Guaranty of Completion delivered pursuant to Section 11.03(f), if any, shall be in default thereunder beyond any applicable grace or cure periods and such default shall continue for ten (10) days after notice to Tenant and such guarantor from Landlord; and

(m) if Obligor shall fail to pay a Recapture Amount due under the Project Agreement (except that this subsection (m) shall be of no force and effect if the Tenant’s leasehold interest hereunder is subject to one or more Mortgages securing not less than $500 million in financing held by a party who is not an Affiliate of Tenant or any Eligible Affiliate).

Section 24.02. Remedies Generally. If an Event of Default shall occur, Landlord may elect to declare due and payable a sum equal to the amount by which the Rental reserved in this Lease for the period which otherwise would have constituted the unexpired portion of the Term exceeds the fair and reasonable rental value of the Premises for the same period, both discounted to present worth at the rate of six percent (6%) per annum, which sum shall be due and payable ten (10) days after notice by Landlord to Tenant of such election. However, the aforesaid remedy shall not be applicable to a Mortgagee which elects to cure the Default of Tenant pursuant to Section 10.10 or receives a new lease pursuant to Section 10.11. Landlord may also elect to proceed by appropriate judicial proceedings, either at law or in equity, to enforce performance or observance by Tenant of the applicable provisions of this Lease and/or to recover damages for breach thereof.

Section 24.03. Termination and Surrender.

(a) If (i) any Event of Default described in Section 24.01(d), (e), (f) or (g) hereof shall occur, or (ii) any Event of Default described in Section 24.01 (a), (b), (c), (h), (i), (j), (k), or (l) shall occur and Landlord, at any time thereafter, at its option, gives notice to Tenant stating that this Lease and the Term shall expire and terminate on the date specified in such notice, which date shall be not less than ten (10) days after the giving of such notice, and if, on the date specified in such notice, Tenant shall have failed to cure the Default which was the basis for the Event of Default, then this Lease and the Term and all rights of Tenant under this Lease shall expire and terminate as if the date on which the Event of Default described in clause (i) above occurred or the date specified in the notice given pursuant to clause (ii) above, as the case may be, were the date herein definitely fixed for the expiration of the Term and Tenant immediately shall quit and surrender the Premises; provided, however, that if Landlord shall properly have given Tenant three or more notices stating that this Lease shall expire and terminate and Tenant shall have cured the Defaults that gave rise to those notices, then for a period of three years from the date of the last notice given, Tenant shall not have a right to cure a Default

129

of substantially the same nature as the prior three Defaults, after notice of such Default has been delivered, it being understood that the foregoing provisions are not intended to impair the Mortgagee cure rights set forth in Section 10.10(a) hereof. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if such termination shall be stayed by order of any court having jurisdiction over any proceeding described in Section 24.01(f) or (g) hereof, or by federal or state statute, then, following the expiration of any such stay, or if the trustee appointed in any such proceeding, Tenant or Tenant as debtor-in-possession shall fail to assume Tenant’s obligations under this Lease within the period prescribed therefor by law or within one hundred twenty (120) days after entry of the order for relief or as may be allowed by the court, or if said trustee, Tenant or Tenant as debtor-in-possession shall fail to provide adequate protection of Landlord’s right, title and interest in and to the Premises or adequate assurance of the complete and continuous future performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease as provided in Section 24.15 hereof, Landlord, to the extent permitted by law or by leave of the court having jurisdiction over such proceeding, shall have the right, at its election, to terminate this Lease on ten (10) days’ notice to Tenant, Tenant as debtor-in-possession or said trustee and upon the expiration of said ten (10) day period this Lease shall cease and expire as aforesaid and Tenant, Tenant as debtor-in-possession and/or trustee shall immediately quit and surrender the Premises as aforesaid.

(b) If this Lease shall be terminated as provided in Section 24.03(a), Landlord, without notice, may re-enter and repossess the Premises using such force for that purpose as may be necessary without being liable to indictment, prosecution or damages therefor and may dispossess Tenant by summary proceedings or otherwise.

Section 24.04. Damages. If this Lease shall be terminated as provided in Section 24.03(a) or Tenant shall be dispossessed by summary proceedings or otherwise as provided in Section 24.03(b) hereof:

(a) Tenant shall pay to Landlord all Rental payable by Tenant under this Lease (and not yet paid) to the date upon which this Lease and the Term shall have expired and come to an end or to the date of re-entry upon the Premises by Landlord, as the case may be;

(b) Landlord may complete all construction required to be performed by Tenant hereunder and may repair and alter the Premises in such manner as Landlord may deem necessary or advisable (and may apply to the foregoing all funds, if any, then held by Depository pursuant to Article 7, 8, or 9 or by Landlord under the Design/Construction Period Letter of Credit) without relieving Tenant of any liability under this Lease or otherwise affecting any such liability, and/or let or relet the Premises or any parts thereof for the whole or any part of the remainder of the Term or for a longer period, in Landlord’s name or as agent of Tenant, and out of any rent and other sums collected or received as a result of such reletting Landlord shall: (i) first, pay to itself the reasonable cost and expense of terminating this Lease, re-entering, retaking, repossessing,

130

completing construction and repairing or altering the Premises, or any part thereof, and the cost and expense of removing all persons and property therefrom, including in such costs brokerage commissions, legal expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, (ii) second, pay to itself the reasonable cost and expense sustained in securing any new tenants and other occupants, including in such costs brokerage commissions, legal expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements and other expenses of preparing the Premises for reletting, and, if Landlord shall maintain and operate the Premises, the reasonable cost and expense of operating and maintaining the Premises, and (iii) third, pay to itself any balance remaining on account of the liability of Tenant to Landlord. Landlord in no way shall be responsible or liable for any failure to relet the Premises or any part thereof, or for any failure to collect any rent due on any such reletting, and no such failure to relet or to collect rent shall operate to relieve Tenant of any liability under this Lease or to otherwise affect any such liability;

(c) if Landlord shall not have declared all Rental due and payable pursuant to Section 24.02 hereof, Tenant shall be liable for and shall pay to Landlord, as damages, any deficiency (referred to as “Deficiency”) between the Rental reserved in this Lease for the period which otherwise would have constituted the unexpired portion of the Term and the net amount, if any, of rents collected under any reletting effected pursuant to the provisions of Section 24.04(b) for any part of such period (first deducting from the rents collected under any such reletting all of the payments to Landlord described in clauses (i) and (ii) of Section 24.04(b) hereof); any such Deficiency shall be paid in installments by Tenant on the days specified in this Lease for the payment of installments of Rental, and Landlord shall be entitled to recover from Tenant each Deficiency installment as the same shall arise, and no suit to collect the amount of the Deficiency for any installment period shall prejudice Landlord’s right to collect the Deficiency for any subsequent installment period by a similar proceeding; and

(d) if Landlord shall not have declared all Rental due and payable pursuant to Section 24.02 hereof, and whether or not Landlord shall have collected any Deficiency installments as aforesaid, Landlord shall be entitled to recover from Tenant, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord, on demand, in lieu of any further Deficiencies, as and for liquidated and agreed final damages (it being agreed that it would be impracticable or extremely difficult to fix the actual damage), a sum equal to the amount by which the Rental reserved in this Lease for the period which otherwise would have constituted the unexpired portion of the Term exceeds the then fair and reasonable rental value of the Premises for the same period, both discounted to present worth at the rate of six percent (6%) per annum less the aggregate amount of Deficiencies theretofore collected by Landlord pursuant to the provisions of Section 24.04(c) for the same period; it being agreed that before presentation of proof of such liquidated damages to any court, commission or tribunal, if 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

131

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

Section 24.05. Obligations Continue. No termination of this Lease pursuant to Section 24.03(a) or taking possession of or reletting the Premises, or any part thereof, pursuant to Sections 24.03(b) and 24.04(b) shall relieve Tenant of its liabilities and obligations hereunder, all of which shall survive such expiration, termination, repossession or reletting.

Section 24.06. Waiver and Release. To the extent not prohibited by law, Tenant hereby waives and releases all rights now or hereafter conferred by statute or otherwise which would have the effect of limiting or modifying any of the provisions of this Article 24. Tenant shall execute, acknowledge and deliver any instruments which Landlord may reasonably request, whether before or after the occurrence of an Event of Default, evidencing such waiver or release.

Section 24.07. Successive Suits. Suit or suits for the recovery of damages, or for a sum equal to any installment or installments of Rental payable hereunder or any Deficiencies or other sums payable by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to this Article 24, may be brought by Landlord from time to time at Landlord’s election, and nothing herein contained shall be deemed to require Landlord to await the date whereon this Lease or the Term would have expired had there been no Event of Default by Tenant and termination of this Lease.

Section 24.08. No Limitation on Damages. Nothing contained in this Article 24 shall limit or prejudice the right of Landlord to prove and obtain as liquidated damages in any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization or dissolution proceeding an amount equal to the maximum allowed by statute or rule of law governing such proceeding and in effect at the time when such damages are to be proved, whether or not such amount shall be greater than, equal to or less than the amount of the damages referred to in any of the preceding Sections of this Article 24.

Section 24.09. No Reinstatement of Lease, Etc. Subject to Section 24.03(a), no receipt of monies by Landlord from Tenant after the termination of this Lease shall reinstate, continue or extend the Term or affect any notice theretofore given to Tenant, or operate as a waiver of the right of Landlord to enforce the payment of Rental payable by Tenant hereunder or thereafter falling due, or operate as a waiver of the right of Landlord to recover possession of the Premises by proper remedy, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, it being agreed that after the service of notice to terminate this Lease or the commencement of any suit or summary proceedings, or after a final order or judgment for the possession of the Premises, Landlord may demand, receive and collect any monies due or thereafter falling due without in any manner affecting such notice, proceeding, order, suit or judgment, all such monies collected being deemed payments on account of the use and occupancy of the Premises or, at the election of Landlord, on account of Tenant’s liability hereunder.

Section 24.10. Waiver of Certain Rights. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or as prohibited by applicable law, Tenant hereby expressly waives the service

132

of any notice of intention to re-enter provided for in any statute, or of the institution of legal proceedings to that end, and Tenant, for and on behalf of itself and all persons claiming through or under Tenant, also waives any and all right of redemption provided by any law or statute now in force or hereafter enacted or otherwise, or right of re-entry or repossession or right to restore the operation of this Lease in case Tenant shall be dispossessed by a judgment or by warrant of any court or judge or in case of re-entry or repossession by Landlord or in case of any expiration or termination of this Lease, and Landlord and Tenant waive and shall waive trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim brought by either of the parties hereto against the other on any matter whatsoever arising out of or in any way connected with this Lease, the relationship of Landlord and Tenant, Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises, or any claim of injury or damage. The terms “enter,” “re-enter,” “entry” or “re-entry” as used in this Lease are not restricted to their technical legal meaning.

Section 24.11. No Waivers. No failure by either party or any predecessor-in-interest to either party to insist upon the strict performance of any covenant, agreement, term or condition of this Lease or to exercise any right or remedy consequent upon a breach thereof, and no payment or acceptance of full or partial Rental during the continuance of any such breach, shall constitute a waiver of any such breach or of such covenant, agreement, term or condition. No covenant, agreement, term or condition of this Lease to be performed or complied with by either party, and no breach thereof, shall be waived, altered or modified except by a written instrument executed by the other party. No waiver of any breach shall affect or alter this Lease, but each and every covenant, agreement, term and condition of this Lease shall continue in full force and effect with respect to any other then existing or subsequent breach thereof.

Section 24.12. Equitable Remedies. Except as otherwise provided herein, and subject to Sections 41.07 and 41.08 and applicable law, in the event of any breach or threatened breach by either party of any of the covenants, agreements, terms or conditions contained in this Lease, the other party shall be entitled to enjoin such breach or threatened breach and shall have the right to invoke any rights and remedies allowed at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise as though re-entry, summary proceedings, and other remedies were not provided for in this Lease.

Section 24.13. Cumulative Remedies. Subject to Sections 41.07 and 41.08 and except as otherwise expressly provided herein, each right and remedy of Landlord and Tenant provided for in this Lease shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other right or remedy provided for in this Lease or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, and the exercise or beginning of the exercise by a party of any one or more of the rights or remedies provided for in this Lease or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by such party of any or all other rights or remedies provided for in this Lease or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise.

Section 24.14. Fees and Expenses. A party (the “Defaulting Party”) shall pay to the other party (the “Non-Defaulting Party”) all costs and expenses, including, without

133

limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, reasonably incurred by the Non-Defaulting Party in successfully enforcing any of the covenants and provisions of this Lease and incurred in any action brought by a Non-Defaulting Party against a Defaulting Party on account of the provisions hereof, and all such costs, expenses, and reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements may be included in and form a part of any judgment entered in any proceeding brought by a Non-Defaulting Party against a Defaulting Party on or under this Lease. All of the sums paid by a Non-Defaulting Party as aforesaid, with interest at the Involuntary Rate from the date of payment by the Non-Defaulting Party to the date of payment by the Defaulting Party, shall be paid by the Defaulting Party to the Non-Defaulting Party within fifteen (15) days after demand by the Non-Defaulting Party.

Section 24.15. Certain Bankruptcy Provisions.

(a) If an order for relief is entered or if a stay of proceeding or other acts becomes effective in favor of Landlord or Landlord’s interest in this Lease in any proceeding which is commenced by or against Landlord under the present or any future federal Bankruptcy Code or any other present or future applicable federal, state or other statute or law, Tenant shall be entitled to invoke any and all rights and remedies available to it under such bankruptcy code, statute, law or this Lease, including, without limitation, such rights and remedies as may be necessary to adequately assure the continued possession and enjoyment of the Premises pursuant to this Lease.

(a) Generally. Landlord and Tenant each shall take good care of Landlord’s Civic Facilities or Tenant’s Civic Facilities, respectively, and each party shall keep and maintain the respective Civic Facilities for which it is so responsible in good and safe order and condition and free of accumulations of dirt, rubbish, snow and ice, and shall make all repairs (including structural repairs, restorations and replacements necessary to maintain the same in first-class condition (collectively, “Maintenance Obligations”), except (i) if Tenant installs temporary concrete sidewalks adjacent to the Premises, then Tenant shall perform Maintenance Obligations in respect of same, (ii) if Tenant previously has caused the street trees referred to in Section 26.01(b)(ii) to be installed in accordance with the requirements of this Article 26 and maintained and replaced until the first anniversary of the proper installation of such trees, then from and after such first anniversary, Landlord shall perform Maintenance Obligations with respect to said street trees, and (iii) as otherwise provided in Section 26.03(b). The obligation of Landlord to perform Maintenance Obligations is expressly conditioned upon Tenant’s compliance with Tenant’s obligations under Section 26.05. Notwithstanding the initial sentence of this Section 26.03, Maintenance Obligations on the part of Landlord in respect of any portion of the Civic Facilities described in Sections 26.01(a)(i)-(vii) shall terminate (or shall have terminated) on the date that the appropriate utility company or the City of New York, as the case may be, shall commence (or shall have commenced) performance of Maintenance Obligations in respect of same.

(b) Pedestrian Walkway. If Tenant is in compliance in all material respects with its obligations under Sections 26.01(b)(iv) and 26.03(a) hereof with respect to the pedestrian walkway, and no Event of Default is continuing, Tenant shall be entitled to enforce the rights of Landlord for reimbursement of a portion of the cost of removing dirt, rubbish, snow and ice from the pedestrian walkway referred to in Section 26.01(b)(iv) from the tenant of Site 25 as provided in Section 26.02 of the Site 25 Ground Lease. For the limited purpose of enforcing said right to reimbursement, Landlord shall assign to Tenant the right, in the name and stead of Landlord, if required, to bring an action against said tenant for reimbursement of said costs (and, also to the extent required, Landlord shall execute and deliver such documents, and shall otherwise

141

cooperate with Tenant, as Tenant may reasonably request to implement the foregoing); provided, however, that Tenant shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify, defend and hold harmless Landlord and the other Indemnitees from and against any and all liability, claims, losses, costs and expenses arising in connection with the exercise by Tenant of its right to seek reimbursement from said tenant, whether in its own right or in the name and stead of Landlord.

(c) Enforcement of Site 25 Ground Lease Signage Provisions. If Tenant is in compliance in all material respects with its obligations under Sections 26.01(b)(iv) and 26.03(a) hereof, and no Event of Default is continuing, Tenant shall be entitled, on a non-exclusive basis, to enforce the rights of Landlord to enforce Section 24.01(c) of the Site 25 Ground Lease only with respect to the obligations of the tenant of Site 25 to comply with those portions of the Design Guidelines (as defined in the Site 25 Ground Lease) that relate to the maintenance by the tenant of Site 25 of signage visible from the exterior of the Building (as defined in the Site 25 Ground Lease). For the limited purpose of enforcing said right, Landlord shall assign to Tenant the right, in the name and stead of Landlord, if required, to bring an action against said tenant to comply with said provisions (and, also to the extent required, Landlord shall execute and deliver such documents, and shall otherwise cooperate with Tenant, as Tenant may reasonably request to implement the foregoing); provided, however, that Tenant shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify, defend and hold harmless Landlord and the other Indemnitees from and against any and all liability, claims, losses, costs and expenses arising in connection with the exercise by Tenant of its right to enforce such provisions, whether in its own right or in the name and stead of Landlord.

(d) Tenant’s Public Library Branch Obligation. Tenant covenants to provide Three Million Five Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($3,500,000) for fit-out of a public library branch in Battery Park City, at Site 16/17, Five Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($500,000) of which is to be paid to Landlord upon the execution of an agreement between Tenant, Landlord and the New York Public Library with respect thereto, and the balance to be paid to Landlord no later than five (5) Business Days after notice has been given to Tenant that a temporary certificate of occupancy has been issued with respect to the portion of the Site 16/17 building including all or any portion of the space allocated to a public library branch. All such funds shall be held by Landlord in a separate account and expended solely for the design and construction of the interior portion of the public library branch, upon receipt by Landlord of invoices for goods or services with respect to such fit-out.

Section 26.04. Tenant Remedies

(a) If Landlord shall fail to perform its Maintenance Obligations in accordance with Section 26.03, Tenant shall have the right to engage in Self-Help and/or to seek specific performance of such obligations (collectively, the “Approved Remedies”). Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 26.04(b), Tenant shall not be

142

entitled to exercise any of the Approved Remedies at any time that there exists a Default in the payment of money or any other Event of Default. No delay, non-performance or part performance by Landlord under Section 26.03 shall release Tenant from any of its obligations under this Lease. The election by Tenant of any remedy specified in this Section 26.04(a) shall not preclude Tenant from pursuing any other remedy specifically set forth in this Section 26.04. Nothing in this Section 26.04(a) shall be construed as a waiver by Tenant of its right to bring a constructive or actual eviction claim with respect to the subject matter of the Maintenance Obligations.

(b) If (subject to Unavoidable Delays) Landlord fails to perform any of Landlord’s Maintenance Obligations, Tenant (in its own name and not as agent of Landlord) shall have the right (but shall not be obligated) to undertake such obligations (“Self-Help”), in accordance with the provisions of this Section 26.04(b). Prior to engaging in Self-Help, Tenant shall give to Landlord thirty (30) days written notice (or, in the case of an emergency situation, such notice, written or otherwise, as is reasonable in light of all the circumstances) specifying the nature of Landlord’s failure and advising of Tenant’s intention to engage in Self-Help. If Landlord shall not have remedied the failure complained of prior to the thirtieth (30^th) day after such notice (or, in the case of any emergency situation, such lesser period as shall be reasonable in light of all the circumstances), Tenant shall be entitled to engage in Self Help, provided that if such failure shall be of a nature that the same cannot be completely remedied within said thirty (30) day period (or lesser period, in the case of an emergency), Tenant shall not be entitled to engage in Self-Help if Landlord commences to remedy such failure within such period and thereafter diligently and continuously proceeds to remedy same. A copy of any notice given to Landlord pursuant to this Section 26.04(b) shall be sent to all other tenants of Landlord in the Project Area affected by Landlord’s Civic Facilities of whose names and addresses Landlord shall have given Tenant notice with specific reference to this Section 26.04(b), and, in the event Tenant engages in Self-Help, Tenant shall use its commercially reasonable efforts (taking into account the exigencies of the situation giving rise to the need for Self-Help) to cooperate with such other tenants and to coordinate any actions taken in furtherance thereof with the actions of any tenant(s) that may elect to engage in Self-Help under the applicable provision(s) of any other lease(s) entered into by Landlord with respect to the Project Area. In furtherance of Tenant’s exercise of the right of Self-Help set forth in this Section 26.04(b), Landlord, upon reasonable notice, shall permit Tenant and its agents or representatives to inspect Landlord’s Civic Facilities at all reasonable times for the purpose of determining whether or not Landlord is in compliance with Landlord’s Maintenance Obligations. Landlord hereby grants Tenant a right to enter upon Landlord’s Civic Facilities in order to perform Self-Help in accordance with this Section 26.04(b). Tenant shall not be liable for inconvenience, annoyance, disturbance, loss of business or other damage to Landlord by reason of Tenant’s exercise of the right of Self-Help hereunder, provided that Tenant shall use reasonable efforts to minimize such inconvenience, annoyance, disturbance, loss

143

of business or other damage to Landlord caused by Tenant in the exercise of its right of Self-Help.

(c) In the event Tenant engages in Self-Help as provided in Section 26.04(b) with respect to Landlord’s Maintenance Obligations, after submission to Landlord of a written statement of Tenant’s expenses with supporting documentation, Tenant shall have the right to offset against the next installment(s) of Civic Facilities Payment an amount equal to the reasonable expenses thereby incurred and/or theretofore paid by Tenant together with interest thereon at the Involuntary Rate computed with respect to each payment made by Tenant under this Section 26.04(c) from the date of payment by Tenant until the date(s) Tenant effectuates the offset(s).

(d) Subject to the last sentence of Section 26.04(a), in the event Landlord shall fail to perform Landlord’s Maintenance Obligations, Landlord shall incur no penalty or liability and Tenant shall have no remedies or rights other than as expressly provided herein, it being agreed by the parties that Landlord’s failure to perform Landlord’s Maintenance Obligations shall not be deemed a failure by Landlord to perform a substantial obligation on Landlord’s part to be performed under this Lease.

Section 26.05. Payment of Certain Costs.

(a) As its allocable share of the cost of operating, maintaining, repairing, restoring, replacing and upgrading the Esplanade, the Parks and any other parks or open spaces within or adjacent to the Project Area, the curbs referred to in Section 26.01(a)(vii) and the street trees referred to in Sections 26.01(a)(xii) and (b)(iii) and similar civic facilities in other portions of the Project Area, including, at Landlord’s election, the costs of creating and maintaining a reasonable reserve fund and of insuring the Civic Facilities or any part thereof (such costs being hereinafter referred to as “Operating Costs”), Tenant, for each Lease Year or portion thereof commencing on January 1, 2009 (the “Initial CFP Date”) and ending on the last day of the Term, shall pay to Landlord an annual sum (the “Civic Facilities Payment”) determined as follows:

(i) for the period commencing on the Initial CFP Date and ending December 31, 2009 (the “First CFP Period”), an amount equal to the product derived by multiplying $0.4136 by the gross square feet of floor area in the Building (or, in the event the Building is not completed, by the gross square feet of floor area shown in the Construction Documents); and

(ii) for each Lease Year thereafter succeeding the First CFP Period (the “Second CFP Period”), the Civic Facilities Payment shall be increased by an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying the Civic Facilities Payment for the prior Lease Year by three percent (3%).

144

(b) Landlord shall have the right to transfer to a trust or other entity the responsibility of performing Landlord’s Maintenance Obligations and the right to receive installments of the Civic Facilities payment directly from Tenant, and if Landlord shall effect such a transfer, Tenant shall have the right to require such trust or other entity to perform the responsibilities and exercise the rights so transferred notwithstanding any transfer of Landlord’s interest in the parcels, or in the leases of the parcels, within the Project Area. Upon such a transfer by Landlord and provided that such trust or other entity, in writing, assumes and agrees to perform Landlord’s Maintenance Obligations for the benefit of all tenants of parcels within the Project Area from and after the date of such assumption, Landlord shall have no further liability with respect hereto. Prior to effecting such transfer, Landlord shall consult with Tenant with respect to the composition of such trust or other entity. Landlord shall give Tenant notice of the consummation of any such transfer. Notwithstanding such transfer, the Civic Facilities Payment shall, at all times, constitute Rental hereunder. Thereafter, for each Lease Year, such trust or other entity shall submit to Tenant the Parks-Esplanade Budget and other information required by this Section 26.05(b) and shall give notice thereof to Tenant in the same manner as would otherwise be required of Landlord. Notwithstanding any transfer of Landlord’s Maintenance Obligations, Tenant shall retain the rights provided in this Article 26.

Section 26.06. Tenant shall pay to Landlord the Civic Facilities Payment due in respect of the First CFP Period and the Second CFP Period in equal monthly installments payable in advance on the first day of each month that occurs within such periods.

Section 26.07. Subject to Section 26.09, if all or any part of Landlord’s Civic Facilities or Tenant’s Civic Facilities, as the case may be, shall be destroyed or damaged in whole or in part by fire or other casualty of any kind or nature, ordinary or extraordinary, foreseen or unforeseen, the party responsible for initial construction of said Civic Facilities, at no cost and expense to the other, whether or not such damage or destruction shall have been insured or insurable, and whether or not insurance proceeds, if any, shall be sufficient for the purpose, shall restore or cause to be restored with reasonable diligence (subject to Unavoidable Delays) such Civic Facilities as nearly as practicable to the character and utility existing immediately prior to such occurrence and using materials of equal or better quality.

Section 26.08. Subject to Section 26.09, if at any time during the Term there shall be a taking by any lawful power or authority through the exercise of the right of condemnation or eminent domain of all or any part of Landlord’s Civic Facilities, or there shall be an agreement in lieu of a taking between Landlord and those authorized to exercise such right, Landlord shall receive the award attributable to the Landlord’s Civic Facilities so taken, as provided in Article 9, and Landlord, at Landlord’s sole cost and expense, whether or not the award or awards, if any, payable to Landlord are sufficient for the purpose, shall proceed with reasonable diligence (subject to Unavoidable Delays) to restore to the extent practicable any remaining portion of the Landlord’s Civic Facilities not so taken to a complete, self-contained

145

unit. Landlord shall hold the award or awards received by it with respect to such taking in trust for the sole purpose of paying the cost of restoring the remaining portion of the Civic Facilities not so taken, and Landlord shall apply such award or awards first to the payment in full of the cost of such restoration before using any part of the same for any other purpose. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall Landlord’s liability hereunder as trustee exceed the amount of the award or awards received by Landlord, as reduced by the portion thereof applied to the restoration. Upon completion of the restoration, Landlord may pay over to itself the unapplied award or awards and the trust obligations hereunder with respect to such award or awards shall terminate. Nothing in this Section 26.08 shall affect Tenant’s rights under Article 9 (either generally or with respect to a taking of the Landlord’s Civic Facilities identified in Article 9), and to the extent that this Section 26.08 is inconsistent with Article 9, the latter shall control.

Section 26.09. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, (i) in the event that a casualty to or taking of Landlord’s Civic Facilities occurs at a time when there has been a casualty to, or condemnation of all or any part of, the Building and Tenant fails to restore the Building, Landlord shall have no obligation to restore Landlord’s Civic Facilities and (ii) Landlord’s obligation to restore Landlord’s Civic Facilities shall in any event only extend to (and in any event shall only apply prior to any public dedication thereof) the Landlord’s Basic Civic Facilities.

Section 26.10. To the extent that terms set forth in Exhibit K-1 conflict with the section of the Proposal captioned “Required Utility Modifications”, as between Landlord and Tenant, the terms of Exhibit K-1 shall control.

146

ARTICLE 27

Tenant shall be permitted to contest in good faith any proceeding or order for street widening instituted or made by any Governmental Authority which Tenant must comply with pursuant to the terms of this Article 27, provided that during the pendency of such contest Tenant deposits with Depository or a Mortgagee that is an Institutional Lender or such Mortgagee’s designee security or delivers to Landlord a Qualifying Guaranty in amount reasonably satisfactory to Landlord for the performance of the work required in the event that Tenant’s contest should fail. In no event shall Tenant permit Landlord to become liable for any criminal liability or penalty as a result of Tenant’s failure to comply with reasonable diligence (subject to Unavoidable Delays) with any of the foregoing orders. Any widening or other enlargement of any such street and the award or damages in respect thereto shall be deemed a partial condemnation and be subject to the provisions of Article 9 notwithstanding that such partial condemnation relates solely or in part to Civic Facilities which are not part of the Premises. This provision is not intended to relate to any Landlord’s Civic Facilities

Subject to the terms of Section 26.09, Landlord represents and warrants that, within the Project Area, the following streets have been mapped as New York City public streets and, subject to Landlord’s generally applicable policies and procedures for partial closures of public streets, are and shall remain open for public use: Xxxxxx Street, North End Avenue, and Xxxxx Street (east of North End Avenue).

Without limiting the foregoing, Battery Park City Authority, in its capacity as tenant under the Master Lease, acknowledges and agrees that the interest of the tenant under the Master Lease and the interest of any other Person in the Premises which interest arises by, through or under, or is otherwise derivative of, the Master Lease, including, without limitation, any possessory interest under the Master Lease, are and shall be subject and subordinate to the Tenant’s interest under this Lease and the interest of any other Person in the Premises or in this Lease which interest arises by, through or under, or is otherwise derivative of, Tenant’s interest under this Lease, for so long as this Lease remains in effect.

148

ARTICLE 29

EXCAVATIONS AND SHORING

CONSENTS AND APPROVALS

Section 31.01. Consents in Writing; Future Consents. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Lease, all consents and approvals which may be given under this Lease shall, as a condition of their effectiveness, be in writing. The granting of any consent or approval by a party to perform any act requiring consent or approval under the terms of this Lease, or the failure on the part of a party to object to any such action taken without the required consent or approval, shall not be deemed a waiver by the party whose consent was required of its right to require such consent or approval for any further similar act.

ARBITRATION

In such cases where this Lease expressly provides for the settlement of a dispute or question by arbitration, and only in such cases, the party desiring arbitration shall appoint a disinterested person as arbitrator on its behalf and give notice thereof to the other party (and, if the party giving such notice is Landlord, a copy of such notice shall be given at the same time and in the same manner to any Mortgagee who is then entitled to receive copies of notices of Default under Section 10.10(a)) who shall, within fifteen (15) days thereafter, appoint a second disinterested person as arbitrator on its behalf and give notice thereof to the first party.

If a party who shall have the right pursuant to the foregoing to appoint an arbitrator fails or neglects to do so, then, and in such event, the other party (or if the two (2) arbitrators appointed by the parties shall fail to appoint a third arbitrator when required hereunder, then either party) may apply to the American Arbitration Association (or any organization successor thereto), or in its absence, refusal, failure or inability to act, may apply for a court appointment of such arbitrator.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease, except in an emergency or as Tenant may otherwise permit, no individual acting for Landlord or any other Person entering the demised premises under any right of entry reserved in this Lease to Landlord shall be permitted to enter the Premises for purposes of performing any maintenance, repairs, alterations, cleaning or other services or work or related inspections or preparations unless such individual has cleared Tenant’s security and background check procedures as administered by Tenant and in effect from time to time, provided that such procedures are not more burdensome than those applied by Tenant to similar entrants or visitors not acting for Landlord or under any right of entry reserved in this Lease. Tenant shall also cooperate with Landlord to develop appropriate “pre-clearance” procedures for the personnel of Landlord.

Nothing in this Section 41.27 shall be construed to limit disclosure by Landlord of information (i) pursuant to subpoena or other court process, or (ii) at the express direction of any authorized government or regulatory agency, or (iii) as otherwise required by law (including New York’s Freedom of Information Law), or (iv) if such information is at the time of such disclosure in the public domain through no action on Landlord’s part in violation of this Section 41.27, or (v) of the type described in Section 11.14(e). If Landlord or any of its officers, employees, contractors or other agents is required to disclose any Confidential Information (i) in connection with any judicial or administrative proceedings (by oral questions, interrogatories, requests for information or documents, subpoena, Civil Investigation Demand or similar process) or (ii) in order, in the opinion of its counsel, to avoid violating applicable law, Landlord shall, in advance of such disclosure, to the extent legally permissible, provide Tenant with prompt notice of any such requirement. Landlord also agrees, to the extent legally permissible, to provide Tenant, in advance of any such disclosure, with copies of any Confidential Information it intends

169

to disclose and to provide reasonable cooperation to Tenant (at Tenant’s expense) to the extent it may seek to limit such disclosure.

ARTICLE 42

LETTERS OF CREDIT

Section 42.01. Letters of Credit.

(a) Letter of Credit. In accordance with the provisions of Section 11.12 hereof, Tenant has delivered to Landlord the Design/Construction Period Letter of Credit (the Design/Construction Period Letter of Credit and any other letter of credit now or hereafter required to be delivered by Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Lease being hereinafter called the “Letter of Credit,” which term shall also refer to any Replacement Letter of Credit, as hereinafter defined).

(b) Presentment of Sight Draft(s) Under Letter of Credit. If Tenant (i) fails to perform any of Tenant’s obligations under this Section 42.01 in compliance with the requirements of this Section 42.01 or (ii) violates any prohibition contained in this Section 42.01, then Landlord shall have the right (in addition to all other rights and remedies provided in this Lease and without Landlord’s exercise of such right being deemed a waiver or a cure of Tenant’s failure to perform), without notice to Tenant, to present for immediate payment sight draft(s) in any amount Landlord elects up to the full amount then available under such Letter of Credit and to apply the proceeds thereof in the manner provided in this Lease for the application of the proceeds of such Letter of Credit. Any proceeds not so applied shall be held by Landlord or invested and reinvested in United States government securities maturing in no more than ninety (90) days or in federally insured money market accounts. Any interest earned thereon shall constitute proceeds of such Letter of Credit and shall be applied in the same manner as the proceeds of such Letter of Credit are applied. Landlord’s obligations with respect to the presentment of any Letter of Credit, the return of any Letter of Credit or any proceeds thereof shall be governed by the applicable provisions of this Lease.

(c) Purpose of Letter of Credit. Tenant acknowledges that the purpose of each Letter of Credit is to provide sure and certain security for Landlord and that Landlord has accepted each Letter of Credit for that purpose, in place of a cash deposit in the same amount, with the understanding that each Letter of Credit is to be the functional equivalent of a cash deposit. To further assure that each Letter of Credit achieves its intended purpose, the parties agree as set forth below. Tenant acknowledges that the waivers in this Section 42.01(c) constitute a material portion of the inducement to Landlord to accept each Letter of Credit under the terms and conditions of this Section 42.01, and that Landlord has agreed to accept each Letter of Credit in reliance on Tenant’s waivers in this Section 42.01.

(d) Waiver of Certain Relief. Tenant unconditionally and irrevocably waives (and as an independent covenant hereunder, covenants not to assert) any right to claim or obtain any of the following relief in connection with each Letter of Credit:

171

(i) A temporary restraining order, temporary injunction, permanent injunction, or other order that would prevent, restrain or restrict the presentment of sight drafts drawn under any Letter of Credit or the Issuer’s honoring or payment of sight draft(s); or

(ii) Any attachment, garnishment, or levy in any manner upon either the proceeds of any Letter of Credit or the obligations of the Issuer (either before or after the presentment to the Issuer of sight drafts drawn under such Letter of Credit) based on any theory whatever.

(e) Remedy for Improper Drafts. Tenant’s sole remedy in connection with the improper presentment or payment of sight drafts drawn under any Letter of Credit shall be the right to obtain from Landlord a refund of the amount of any sight draft(s) that were improperly presented or the proceeds of which were misapplied, together with interest at the Involuntary Rate and reasonable attorneys’ fees, provided that at the time of such refund, Tenant reinstates such Letter of Credit or provides a replacement Letter of Credit if and as then required under the applicable provisions of this Lease. Tenant acknowledges that the presentment of sight drafts drawn under any Letter of Credit, or the Issuer’s payment of sight drafts drawn under such Letter of Credit, could not under any circumstances cause Tenant injury that could not be remedied by an award of money damages, and that the recovery of money damages would be an adequate remedy therefor. In the event Tenant shall be entitled to a refund as aforesaid and Landlord shall fail to make such payment within ten (10) days after demand, Tenant shall have the additional right to deduct the amount thereof together with interest thereon at the Involuntary Rate from the next installment(s) of Rental coming due hereunder.

(f) Notices to Issuer. Tenant shall not request or instruct the Issuer of any Letter of Credit to refrain from paying sight draft(s) drawn under such Letter of Credit.

(g) Assignment. If either Landlord or Tenant desires to assign its rights and obligations under this Lease in compliance with the provisions of this Lease, then the parties to this Lease shall, at the assignor’s request, cooperate so that concurrently with the effectiveness of such assignment, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a Replacement Letter of Credit as described in Section 42.01(h) or an appropriate amendment to such Letter of Credit, in either case identifying as Applicant and Beneficiary the appropriate parties after the assignment becomes effective. The assignor shall pay the Issuer’s fees for issuing such Replacement Letter of Credit or amendment.

(h) Replacement of Letter of Credit. If required under this Lease, Tenant shall replace any Letter of Credit with a replacement letter of credit (the “Replacement Letter of Credit”) (i) at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiry date of a Letter of Credit which is expiring or (ii) within ten (10) days after the date on which the Issuer delivers any notice purporting to terminate or to decline to renew such Letter of Credit, or expressing any intention to do either of the foregoing. Simultaneously with the delivery

172

by Tenant to Landlord of a Replacement Letter of Credit complying with the provisions of this Lease, Landlord shall deliver in accordance with Tenant’s reasonable instructions such Letter of Credit being replaced with consent to cancellation, provided that at such time no sight draft(s) under such Letter of Credit are outstanding and unpaid. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Lease, any Replacement Letter of Credit shall be upon the same terms and conditions as the Letter of Credit replaced, but in any event:

(i) Amount. The amount of each Replacement Letter of Credit shall equal or exceed the amount of such Letter of Credit at the time of replacement, except if a lesser amount is permitted under this Lease at the time of replacement.

(ii) Dates. The date of the Replacement Letter of Credit shall be its date of issuance. The expiry date of the Replacement Letter of Credit, as referred to in such Replacement Letter of Credit, shall be not less than one year later than the expiry date of the Letter of Credit being replaced except in the case of the last Lease Year in which case the expiry date shall be the date of expiration of this Lease.

(iii) Issuer. Each Replacement Letter of Credit shall be issued or confirmed, within the meaning of New York Uniform Commercial Code Section 5-103(1)(f), in its entire amount, by a financial institution reasonably satisfactory to Landlord or that is a member of the New York Clearing House Association and has assets in excess of Seven Billion Five Hundred Million and 00/100 Dollars ($7,500,000,000) and a net worth in excess of Three Hundred Million and 00/100 Dollars ($300,000,000). The office for presentment of sight drafts specified in the Replacement Letter of Credit shall be located at a specified street address within the Borough of Manhattan, City of New York unless presentment of sight drafts may be effected by facsimile.

173

ARTICLE 43

CONSTRUCTION OF SITES 16/17 AND 24

Landlord shall not permit the development of Sites 16/17 and/or 24 in a manner inconsistent with that assumed or contemplated for said developments in the View Corridor Study prepared by Xxxxx Xxxxxx Architect PC, dated August 31, 2004, attached to the Design Guidelines (the “View Corridor Study”), if (i) said development(s) would cause the Building (together with said development(s)) to obstruct the view plane defined in the Declaration of Restrictions in violation of Section 2(A)(i) of Schedule C of the Declaration of Restrictions and (ii) the applicable restrictions contained in said Section 2(A)(i) then remain in effect and the beneficiaries thereof, if any, have not waived their right to enforce said restrictions; provided, however, that Landlord’s undertaking to Tenant with respect to the development of Sites 16/17 and/or 24 under this Article 43 is conditioned on the Building being constructed in accordance with Section C.1.b of the Design Guidelines. The parties agree that the computations with respect to such obstruction(s) are based on such View Corridor Study.

174

ARTICLE 44

ADDITIONAL ECONOMIC INCENTIVES

If at any time and from time to time after the date hereof through December 31, 2012, additional as-of-right economic or tax incentives, credits, savings, abatements or other benefits (“New Benefits”) are made available to the tenants or developers (but not to Tenant at the Premises) in the World Trade Center area (including 7 World Trade Center and World Financial Center (including the NYMEX Building) but excluding Freedom Tower), (excluding Lower Manhattan Incentive legislation passed by the New York state legislature in the 2005 legislative session (Xxxx X. 5930)), Landlord will use its full executive authority and good faith efforts to offer or provide additional benefits in the form of sales and use tax exemptions, provided that Tenant is not otherwise then or thereafter entitled to such exemptions hereunder or under the Project Agreement, or, if such sales and use tax exemptions are not available, in the form of reduced PILOT obligations hereunder to the extent necessary to ensure that such additional benefits to Tenant, together with discretionary and as-of-right benefits already available to Tenant at the Premises, are equivalent to the New Benefits (as calculated using consistent methodologies).

175

ARTICLE 45

TERMINATION RIGHT

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if Liberty Development Corporation shall not have issued “Liberty Bonds” in connection with the Project on or before December 31, 2005, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease upon written notice to Landlord given not later than February 15, 2006; provided that Tenant shall promptly remove any equipment, fencing, sidewalk bridges or other materials placed on the Premises by Tenant or Tenant’s agents and repair any damage caused to the Premises by Tenant or Tenant’s agents, including replacing removed fill or paving.

²		N.Y. State Executive Law:

Section 313 ...........

5. Where it appears that a contractor cannot, after a good faith effort, comply with the minority and women-owned business enterprise participation requirements set forth in a particular state contract, a contractor may file a written application with the contracting agency requesting a partial or total waiver of such requirements setting forth the reasons for such contractor’s inability to meet any or all of the participation requirements together with an explanation of the efforts undertaken by the contractor to obtain the required minority and women-owned business enterprise participation. In implementing the provisions of this section, the contracting agency shall consider the number and types of minority and women-owned business enterprises located in the region in which the state contract is to be performed, the total dollar value of the state contract, the scope of work to be performed and the project size and term. If, based on such considerations, the contracting agency determines there is not a reasonable availability of contractors on the list of certified business to furnish services for the project, it shall issue a waiver of compliance to the contractor. In making such determination, the contracting agency shall first consider the availability of other business enterprises located in the region and shall thereafter consider the financial ability of minority and women-owned businesses located outsider the region in which the contract is to be performed to perform the state contract.

6. For purposes of determining a contractor’s good faith effort to comply with the requirements of this section or to be entitled to a waiver therefrom the contracting agency shall consider:

(a) whether the contractor has advertised in general circulation media, trade association publications, and minority-focus and women-focus media and, in such event, (i) whether or not certified minority or women-owned businesses which have been solicited by the contractor exhibited interest in submitting proposals for a particular project by attending a pre-bid conference; and (ii) whether certified businesses which have been solicited by the contractor have responded in a timely fashion to the contractor ‘s solicitations for timely competitive bid quotations prior to the contracting agency’s bid date; and

(b) whether there has been written notification to appropriate certified businesses that appear in the directory of certified businesses prepared pursuant to paragraph (f) of subdivision three of section three hundred eleven of this article; and

Exhibit C-6

with the same force and effect as if the Contract were a “State Contract” as defined in Section 310 of the Executive Law, except that the amount of compensatory damages payable to BPCA as a result of Tenant’s failure to use its Best Efforts to achieve the goals set forth in Sections 3 and 6 below, or comply with the procedures set forth in Sections 4 and 7 below, with respect to the utilization of Minority and women workers and MBEs and WBEs in the Construction of, and Contracts for, the Project shall be governed exclusively by Section 10 herein.

(c) In its Contracts with Contractors (except those for which exemptions or waivers apply pursuant to the terms of this Program or with three or fewer employees and those entered into prior to the execution of the Lease), Tenant agrees that it will require (i) that each Contractor, as a condition of the Contract, be bound by the above referenced Executive Law provisions, and (ii) that Contractor’s compliance or non-compliance with its MBE and WBE affirmative action and non-discrimination obligations as set forth in the Contract will be determined by BPCA (subject to the determinations of the arbitrators and Director, as provided in Section 2(b) above), and that solely for the purpose of compliance with the said provisions of the Executive Law, BPCA shall be deemed to be the “Contracting Agency” as that term is used in such provisions of the Executive Law.

3. Minority and Women Workforce Participation.

(c)whether the contractor can reasonably structure the amount of work to be performed under subcontracts in order to increase the likelihood of participation by certified businesses.

7. In the event that a contracting agency fails or refuses to issue a waiver to a contractor as requested within twenty days after having made application therefor pursuant to subdivision five of this section or if the contracting agency denies such application, in whole or in part, the contractor may file a complaint with the director pursuant to section three hundred sixteen of this article setting forth the facts and circumstances giving rise to the contractor’s complaint together with a demand for relief. The contractor shall serve a copy of such complaint upon the contracting agency by personal service or by certified mail, return receipt requested. The contracting agency shall be afforded an opportunity to respond to such complaint in writing.

8. If, after the review of a contractor’s minority and women owned business utilization plan or review of a periodic compliance report and after such contractor has been afforded an opportunity to respond to a notice of deficiency issued by the contracting agency in connection therewith, it appears that a contractor is failing or refusing to comply with the minority and women-owned business participation requirements as set forth in the state contract and where no waiver from such requirements has been granted, the contracting agency may file a written complaint with the director pursuant to section three hundred sixteen of this article setting forth the facts and circumstances giving rise to the contracting agency’s complaint together with a demand for relief. The contracting agency shall serve a copy of such complaint upon the contractor by personal service or by certified mail, return receipt requested. The contractor shall be afforded an opportunity to respond to such complaint in writing.

Exhibit C-7

(a) Tenant shall use its Best Efforts for itself and shall use its Best Efforts to cause its Contractors (except those for which exemptions or waivers apply pursuant to the terms of this Program or with three or fewer employees), to promote the employment of Minority Group Members and women as workers in the Construction of the Project, provided that such obligation shall be deemed to have been fulfilled when the aggregate Minority Workforce Participation and the Women Workforce Participation equals twenty-five percent (25%). Tenant and BPCA have, after reviewing the work to be included in the Project and the qualifications and availability of Minority and women workers for participation in such work, determined that the percentages set forth above are reasonable and attainable. In further fulfillment of its obligations hereunder, Tenant shall also comply with the procedures set forth in Section 4 hereof.

(b) In order to assist Tenant in carrying out the provisions of Section 3(a), Tenant shall use Best Efforts to cause its Contractors to participate in apprenticeship programs approved by the applicable union.

(d) Tenant shall (with respect to its own Contracts) and on behalf of its Contractors employing more than three employees, submit to BPCA monthly reports in connection with the Minority and Women Workforce Participation in the form provided as Exhibit C-1 and attached hereto. The monthly reports are to be submitted by the 25th day of the month following the period covered by such report. BPCA shall advise Tenant of any substantive comments to the summary report it may have within twenty-one (21) days of receipt.

(e) Tenant shall (with respect to its own Contracts), and shall use its Best Efforts to cause its Contractors employing more than three employees to, review at least semiannually, Tenant’s non-discrimination obligations and obligations hereunder with all employees having any responsibility for hiring, assignment, layoff, termination or other employment decisions.

4. Minority and Women Workforce Procedures. Tenant shall use its Best Efforts for itself, and shall use its Best Efforts to cause its Contractors to, provide and maintain a working environment free of harassment, intimidation and coercion. Tenant shall use its Best Efforts to ensure that all foremen, superintendents and other on-site supervisory personnel are aware of and carry out Tenant’s non-discrimination obligations and its obligation to maintain such a working environment. In addition, Tenant shall use its Best Efforts for itself, and shall use its Best Efforts to cause its Contractors to, observe the following procedures throughout the Construction of the Project:

(a) Tenant shall (with respect to its own Contracts), and shall use its Best Efforts to cause its Contractors to, make a search for Minorities and women for employment in the Construction of the Project.

Exhibit C-8

(b) Tenant shall (with respect to its own Contracts), and shall use its Best Efforts to cause its Contractors to, encourage Minority and women employees to recruit other Minorities and women for employment on the Project.

(c) Tenant shall (with respect to its own Contracts), and shall use its Best Efforts to cause its Contractors to, fulfill its/their Minority and women workforce participation obligations under Section 3(a) above in a substantially uniform manner throughout the Construction of the Project.

(d) Tenant shall not (with respect to its own Contracts), and shall use its Best Efforts to cause its Contractors not to transfer Minority and women employees from employer to employer or project to project for the purpose of meeting Tenant’s and Contractors’ obligations hereunder.

(e) Tenant shall meet with BPCA and such other persons as BPCA may invite, on a periodic basis as required by BPCA, to discuss issues relating to Minority and Women Workforce Participation. At such meetings Tenant shall report on the names of its Contractors then engaged in construction on the Project or which within 60 days are scheduled to be engaged in construction on the Project, on the nature of the work and anticipated construction schedule of such Contractors, on the anticipated hiring needs of such Contractors, on the names of the responsible foremen for each of the construction trades directly employed by such Contractors, and such other information reasonably requested by BPCA that will promote the employment of Minorities and women. Tenant shall use its Best Efforts to obtain the above information from its Contractors and shall, upon BPCA’s request, use its Best Efforts to cause its Contractors to attend said meetings and provide the above information.

(f) Tenant shall monitor all of its Contractor’s compliance with the foregoing obligations are complied with by each Contractor.

(g) Tenant shall (with respect to its own Contracts), and shall use its Best Efforts to cause its Contractors to, consult with BPCA regarding fulfillment of its obligations hereunder prior to solicitation for any contractors, subcontractors, or consultant.

(h) In fulfillment of the obligations set forth in this Section 4, Tenant shall furnish BPCA, at its request, documentary evidence of its efforts.

5. Determination of MBE and WBE Eligibility. A business enterprise which is a Certified MBE or a Certified WBE is an eligible MBE or WBE and shall remain an eligible MBE or WBE for so long as such business continues to be a Certified MBE or Certified WBE. Except as otherwise set forth below, Certification as an MBE or WBE shall be the sole and conclusive determination of eligibility for the purposes of this Program. BPCA will rely on a determination with respect to MBE or WBE certification of, or failure to certify, a business

Exhibit C-9

enterprise as an eligible MBE or WBE made by the Division or its successor or other designated New York State certifying agency, office or authority pursuant Article 15A of the New York State Executive Law, or any guidelines or regulations issued thereunder, or any other or successor applicable law, or regulations or executive order. At Tenant’s request, BPCA shall assist Tenant in Certifying a business it believes is a qualified candidate for Certification, including using its Best Efforts to expedite Certification. If a business is not MBE or WBE Certified at the time the Contract is awarded, but thereafter becomes a Certified MBE or WBE, the entire Contract amount shall be deemed as awarded to a Certified MBE or WBE. If a business is not MBE or WBE Certified at the time Contract is awarded and its application to the State for Certification is rejected for whatever reason, BPCA may, in its sole discretion, still consider the Contract as awarded to an MBE or WBE and the award amount shall be counted under this Affirmative Action Program provided that such rejection is not based, in whole or in part, on a determination that such MBE or WBE is not a bona fide MBE or WBE as defined by the State of New York pursuant to Article 15A of the New York State Executive Law and any guidelines or regulations issued thereunder. Although Certification enables eligibility for this Program, there are other factors which Tenant may take into consideration in determining appropriateness of an eligible MBE or WBE’s participation in the Project, including, but not limited to, financial stability.

6. MBE and WBE Participation. Tenant shall (with respect to its own Contracts), and when contemplated by the applicable Contract bid package, shall use its Best Efforts to cause its Contractors to, provide meaningful participation in Contracts for the Project to MBEs and WBEs, provided that such obligation shall be deemed to have been fulfilled when the aggregate Contract Value of Approved MBE Contracts and Approved WBE Contracts shall equal twenty-five percent (25%) of Total Development Costs. In determining the aggregate Contract Value of Approved MBE and WBE Contracts, an amount equal to the Contract Value of all Contracts for which BPCA (or the arbitrators or Director) has issued waivers to Tenant or its Contractors pursuant to Section 313, subsections 5, 6, 7 & 8, and Section 316 of the Executive Law, shall be included as part of the aggregate Contract Value for the purpose of fulfillment of Tenant’s and Contractors’ obligation under this Program, including obligations under Section 6(a), below and all other provisions relating to Tenant’s and Contractors’ MBE and WBE obligations as may be set forth herein.

In order to fulfill its obligations hereunder:

(a) Tenant shall, during the Construction of the Project, use its Best Efforts to enter into, or cause its Contractors to enter into, Approved MBE Contracts and Approved WBE Contracts together having an aggregate Contract Value of at least twenty-five percent (25%) of Total Development Costs. After reviewing the work to be included in the Project, Tenant and BPCA shall endeavor to identify portions of such work for which, in their judgment, qualified MBEs and WBEs are expected to be available. During the Construction of the Project, in partial fulfillment of its obligations hereunder, Tenant presently expects to enter into, or cause its

Exhibit C-10

Contractors to enter into, Approved MBE Contracts and Approved WBE Contracts in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 7 below.

(b) In further fulfillment of its obligations under this Section 6, Tenant shall, throughout the Construction of the Project use its Best Efforts to: (i) conduct a thorough and diligent search for qualified MBEs and WBEs to carry out portions of the Project, (ii) review the qualifications of each MBE and WBE suggested to Tenant by BPCA, and (iii) enter into, or cause its Contractors to enter into, Approved MBE Contracts and Approved WBE Contracts with qualified and available MBEs and WBEs, respectively, in accordance with and subject to the procedures set forth in Section 7 below.

7. MBE/WBE Participation Procedures. Tenant shall observe the following procedures throughout the Construction of the Project in order to fulfill its obligations under Section 6 above:

(a) Tenant shall advise BPCA promptly of Tenant’s proposed design and construction schedule for the Project and afford BPCA’s Affirmative Action Officer a reasonable opportunity to become familiar with the proposed scope, nature and scheduling of Tenant’s major Contracts. Tenant shall furnish BPCA with a projected schedule which shall include a detailed description (the “Contract Schedule”) of such Contracts, broken down by trade. Tenant will update or amend the Contract Schedule as required to reflect any changes in Tenant’s proposed Contracts and will promptly notify BPCA thereof. The Contract Schedule will set forth the anticipated times at which invitations to bid or requests for proposals are to be issued for work in each trade and the general scope of such work. In formulating the Contract Schedule, Tenant will confer with the BPCA Affirmative Action Officer to identify those portions of the work or purchases which can be divided into separate contract packages or which can be subcontracted, so as to maximize opportunities for participation in the work by MBEs and WBEs. To the extent practicable and at the sole discretion of the Tenant, Tenant shall prepare separate contract packages for such work which shall be bid and let separately by Tenant or which shall be subcontracted separately by Tenant’s Contractors, and shall not be bid or let as part of any other work. Tenant shall, at least thirty (30) days prior to the issuance of an invitation or request to bid for each individual contract, furnish BPCA with written notice thereof.

(b) Tenant acknowledges that BPCA has provided to it a list of eligible MBEs and WBEs for portions of the Construction of the Project. In general, an MBE or WBE will be deemed to be qualified to perform work if, among other things, the Tenant determines (i) its personnel have successfully performed work of a similar nature in the past; (ii) it can demonstrate the present ability to organize, supervise and perform work of the kind and quality contemplated for the Project; (iii) it is financially stable; and (iv) it is able to pass the Tenant’s background and integrity check process. In determining whether an MBE or WBE meets these

Exhibit C-11

standards, Tenant shall consider; among other things, experience in the trade, technical competence, organizational and supervisory ability and general management capacity.

(c) For each request for proposal or invitation to bid, Tenant shall compile a bidders list. Each bidders list shall contain MBEs and WBEs deemed qualified by Tenant in accordance with Section 7(b), unless there are no qualified MBE’s or WBE’s as further stated below. Prior to issuing the request for proposal or invitation to bid, Tenant shall confer with BPCA regarding MBE and WBE participation and if an MBE and WBE included on the list sent by BPCA has been found not to be qualified, Tenant shall inform BPCA as to the reasons for such determination. BPCA may provide the names any additional eligible MBE and WBE firms which may be qualified to perform the specific work associated with the request for proposal or invitation to bid. In the event BPCA provides additional MBE and/or WBE firms, Tenant shall perform due diligence as to their qualifications and availability to perform the work. If Tenant finds that the MBE and/or WBE is qualified and available to perform the work, said firm(s) shall be added to the bidders list. If Tenant finds that the MBE and/or WBE is not qualified or available to perform the work, Tenant shall advise BPCA and inform BPCA as to the reasons for such determination. BPCA acknowledges that if Tenant’s due diligence elicits no qualified or available MBE or WBEs for a particular bid package, the finalized bidders list shall not contain an MBE or WBE and the value of the specific Contract will be deemed Exempt as defined herein. Tenant shall invite a reasonable number of MBEs and WBEs which Tenant finds qualified and available hereunder (including those MBEs and WBEs on the list provided by BPCA pursuant to Section 7(b) above which Tenant finds qualified) to submit proposals for work required to be performed under Tenant’s Contract packages (including both Contracts and subcontracts). BPCA shall acknowledge in writing in a prompt manner that it has conferred with Tenant regarding the bidders list for each trade.

(d) Tenant shall submit to BPCA monthly reports in connection with MBE and WBE Participation in the form provided as Exhibit C-1 and attached hereto. The monthly reports are to be submitted by the 25th day of the month following the period covered by such report. BPCA shall advise Tenant of any substantive comments to the summary report it may have within twenty-one (21) days of receipt.

(e) Tenant shall maintain at its offices complete and accurate written records of (i) its efforts to identify and contract with MBEs and WBEs as described above, and (ii) the reasons, if applicable, why Contracts or subcontracts were not awarded to MBEs and WBEs found qualified hereunder. Tenant shall also maintain at its offices complete and accurate written copies of all Contracts and amendments, including Approved MBE Contracts and Approved WBE Contracts, awarded on the Project. Such Contracts and amendments may be reviewed by BPCA at Tenant’s offices at such times as BPCA may reasonably request and shall be governed by the Confidentiality provisions set forth in the Lease. After award of a Contract, Tenant shall notify the BPCA Affirmative Action Officer of any modification or amendment of such Contract which will materially reduce or increase the scope of work to be performed by an

Exhibit C-12

MBE or WBE or materially diminish or increase the Contract Price of any Contract (including Subcontracts) awarded to an MBE or WBE. Each Contract entered into by Tenant after the date of the Lease shall (i) contain such non-discrimination provisions as are required by the Lease, (ii) require the Contractor thereunder to comply with the applicable Minority and Women Workforce Requirements of Section 3, and the procedures set forth in Section 4, of this Program and (iii) require such Contractor to comply with the applicable provisions of Sections 6 and 7 of this Program with respect to any Contracts awarded by such Contractor. Tenant shall promptly furnish the BPCA Affirmative Action Officer with the name of each party to whom Tenant (or its Contractors) awards a Contract, together with, in the case of each Approved MBE Contract or Approved WBE Contract, a summary of the scope of services to be performed under such Contract and the Contract price thereof, as the same may be amended from time to time.

(f) Tenant shall at the execution of the Lease and from time to time thereafter designate an affirmative action officer, reasonably satisfactory to BPCA, to represent Tenant in all matters relating to this Program and advise BPCA in writing of such designee. BPCA hereby approves Xxxxx Xxxxxx as Tenant’s affirmative action officer.

(g) Tenant shall, within ninety (90) days after Construction of the Project, provide a statement to BPCA of Tenant’s Total Development Costs, certified by Tenant and a Certified Public Accountant, listing in reasonable detail the components thereof. Within ninety (90) days after receipt of such statement, BPCA may cause a firm of independent Certified Public Accountants selected jointly by BPCA and Tenant to examine and audit the records, account books and other data of Tenant used as the basis for such certified statement, and be informed as to the same by a representative of Tenant, all of which Tenant shall make available to BPCA. If such audit shall establish that the Total Development Costs were understated, then the Total Development Costs shall be increased accordingly. The audit, if any, shall be conducted at the expense of BPCA unless it shall be established that Tenant understated the Total Development Costs by more than three and one-half percent (3 and ¹/2%), in which case Tenant shall pay the reasonable cost of BPCA’s audit. If any items of Total Development Costs are not yet determined at the time of completion of the Construction of the Project (for example, costs of tenant improvements not yet completed or paid for), Tenant may make one or more supplemental submissions of such additional Total Development Cost items, and such items shall be subject to audit by BPCA as provided in this Section 7(g).

8. Intern Program. Tenant and/or its construction manager shall establish an entry level management construction Intern Program for qualified Minority and Women during the Construction of the Project. The Intern Program shall be conducted in accordance with the terms and for the period contained in the Intern Letter executed by BPCA and Tenant on the effective date of the Lease.

9. Minority and Women Business Enterprise Workshops. Tenant shall use it Best Efforts to cause its construction manager for the Project, in cooperation with Tenant and BPCA,

Exhibit C-13

to schedule a series of workshops in an attempt to maximize MBE and WBE participation in the Construction of the Project. The primary objective of such workshops is to schedule pre-bid meetings and provide assistance to MBEs and WBEs interested in bidding in their respective trades and to stimulate potential joint ventures, subcontracts and supply and vendor opportunities. The workshops shall include the use of private and public sector business resources to provide construction-related and office assistance to MBEs and WBEs in the following categories: (1) contract procurement; (2) technical matters; (3) estimating; (4) payment requisition preparation; (5) personnel evaluation; (6) computer technology; and (6) new business opportunities.

10. Non-Compliance.

(a) Tenant acknowledges that the percentages of Minority and Women Workforce Participation set forth in Section 3(a) above, and the work and Contract Value thereof set forth in Section 6, represent reasonable estimates of Tenant’s ability to provide meaningful participation to Minority and women workers and MBEs and WBEs, respectively, during the Construction of the Project. Tenant recognizes and acknowledges that the purpose of this Program and of Tenant’s and BPCA’s undertakings hereunder is to fulfill BPCA’s statutory obligations in connection with the Construction of the Project by affording Minority and women workers and MBEs and WBEs an opportunity to participate in the Construction of, and Contracts for, the Project, to the end that such Minority and women workers and MBEs and WBEs can share in economic benefits and also can gain necessary training, experience and other benefits which will facilitate their full participation in the construction industry and management and operation of projects hereafter. Consistent with Section 313 of the Executive Law, BPCA acknowledges that the failure to reach the goals set forth in Sections 3 and 6 above does not by itself mean that Tenant has failed to use its Best Efforts. Tenant recognizes and acknowledges that its failure to use its Best Efforts to achieve the goals set forth in Sections 3 and 6 above, or comply with the procedures set forth in Sections 4 and 7 above, with respect to the utilization of Minority and women workers and MBEs and WBEs in the Construction of, and Contracts for, the Project may result in damage to BPCA’s affirmative action programs and policies, as well as to Minority and women workers and MBEs and WBEs who would be denied an opportunity to share in the economic benefits provided by the construction work and would be denied the training, experience and other benefits which participation in the Project would provide. Tenant further recognizes and acknowledges that such damage cannot be readily quantified, but that the amounts set forth below are reasonable in light of the magnitude of the harm which would result from non-compliance by it hereunder, other than to a de minimis extent, and that payments made for the purposes of the Minority Workers Training Fund and Women Workers Training Fund and the MBE Assistance Fund and WBE Assistance Fund, referred to in Section 10(e) below, are a reasonable means of compensating for that harm.

(b) In the case of Tenant’s failure to use its Best Efforts to achieve the goals set forth in Section 3 or 6 above, or to meet the procedural requirements set forth in Section 4 or

Exhibit C-14

7 above, with respect to the utilization of Minority and women workers and MBEs and WBEs in the Construction of, and Contracts for, the Project during the Construction of the Project (other than failure resulting directly from any order of judicial authorities having jurisdiction over Tenant or the Project or this Program), Tenant shall pay to BPCA compensatory damages, which damages the parties agree shall be the sole and exclusive remedy on the part of BPCA for any failure or default on the part of the Tenant (or its Contractors) in respect of any of the requirements or obligations set forth in this Exhibit C, in the following liquidated amounts:

(i) in the event that Tenant fails to employ, or use its Best Efforts to cause its Contractors to employ, Minority and women workers equal to the percentage set forth in Section 3(a) above, the product of (A) the aggregate number of person-hours of employment of Minority and women workers which would have resulted from achievement of such percentage less the sum of the actual Minority Workforce Participation and Women Workforce Participation achieved in the Construction of the Project by Tenant or its Contractors, multiplied by (B) twenty-five percent (25%) of the average hourly wage (including fringe benefits) paid to journey-level workers employed in the Construction of the Project;

(ii) in the event that, at any time during the Construction of the Project, Tenant fails to enter into, or use its Best Efforts to cause its Contractors to enter into, an Approved MBE Contract or Approved WBE Contract for work on the Project with any eligible MBE or WBE found to be qualified and available to perform such work for at the lowest price bid by other qualified and available contractors, in accordance with and subject to the provisions of Sections 5, 6 and 7 above, twenty-five percent (25%) of the Contract price at which such MBE or WBE was willing to perform such work, but in no event less than $12,500 for each such Contract; and

(iii) in the event that Tenant fails to enter into, or use its Best Efforts to its Contractors to enter into, Approved MBE Contracts and Approved WBE Contracts having an aggregate Contract Value at least equal to twenty-five percent (25%) of Total Development Costs as provided in Section 6(a) above (“Specified Amount”), twenty-five percent (25%) of the amount by which the Specified Amount exceeds the aggregate Contract Value of Approved MBE Contracts and Approved WBE Contracts actually entered into by Tenant and its Contractors; in determining the aggregate Contract Value of approved MBE Contracts and Approved WBE Contracts, there shall be included in the value of contracts for which waivers have been obtained in accordance with applicable Executive Law provisions, during the Construction of the Project.

(c) Anything to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding, Tenant shall not be liable for damages under paragraph (b)(i) of this Section 10 if and to the extent that Tenant can demonstrate (i) that it has used Best Efforts to comply with each and every provision hereof including Section 4(h) above and (ii) that, notwithstanding such efforts, it was unable to

Exhibit C-15

employ qualified Minorities or women, as the case may be, in accordance with and subject to the requirements set forth in Sections 3 and 4 of this Program. In addition, Tenant shall not be liable for damages under paragraph (b)(ii) or (b)(iii), of this Section 10 if and to the extent that Tenant can demonstrate (i) that, subject to de minimis exceptions, it has used Best Efforts to comply with each and every provision hereof and (ii) that, notwithstanding such efforts, it was unable to contract with additional, qualified MBEs or WBEs, as the case may be, in accordance with and subject to the requirements set forth in Sections 5, 6 and 7 of this Program.

(d) Anything to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding, (i) the aggregate damages payable by Tenant pursuant to paragraph (b)(i) of this Section 10 shall in no event exceed five percent (5%) of Total Development Costs and (ii) the aggregate damages payable by Tenant pursuant to paragraphs (b)(ii) and (b) (iii) of this Section 10 shall in no event exceed seven and one-half percent (7 and ¹/2%) of Total Development Costs. Tenant shall, in any event, be entitled to credit against any sums payable under paragraphs (b)(iii) of this Section 10 all payments made by Tenant pursuant to paragraph (b)(ii) of this Section 10.

(e) Payments made by Tenant under paragraph (b)(i) of this Section 10 shall be deposited in a Minority Workers Training Fund and/or a Women Workers Training Fund. The monies in such Funds shall be used by BPCA to provide job training and other assistance to Minority and women workers, respectively, as BPCA shall determine to be useful in enabling such workers to overcome the effects of past discrimination and to participate more fully in the construction industry. Payments made by Tenant under paragraphs (b)(ii) and (b) (iii) of this Section 10 shall be deposited in either an MBE Assistance Fund or WBE Assistance Fund, depending upon whether such payments resulted from a failure to meet requirements regarding MBEs or WBEs. The monies in such Funds shall be used by BPCA to provide such financial, technical and other assistance to MBEs and WBEs, respectively, as BPCA shall determine to be useful in enabling MBEs and WBEs to overcome the effects of past discrimination and to participate more fully in the construction industry.

11. Intentionally Omitted

12. No BPCA Liability. No act of, nor failure to act by, BPCA hereunder shall create or result in any liability on the part of BPCA or any of its members, officers, employees or agents to Tenant or to any other party, or give rise to any claim by Tenant or any other party against BPCA or any of its members, officers, employees or agents, whether for delay, for damages or for any other reason, unless BPCA is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have acted arbitrarily or in bad faith in acting or failing to act hereunder.

13. Performance under Lease. No requirement of this Program, nor the assumption or performance by Tenant of any obligation hereunder, shall excuse Tenant from the performance of any of its obligations under the Lease, nor constitute a defense to any claim by BPCA under the Lease, whether for default, rental, damages or otherwise.

FORM OF ESCROW AGREEMENT

ESCROW AGREEMENT

ESCROW AGREEMENT, dated as of ______ ___, 200___, between BATTERY PARK CITY AUTHORITY (“Landlord”), a public benefit corporation having an office at Onx Xxxxx Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, XXXXXXX SACHS HEADQUARTERS LLC (“Tenant”), a Delaware limited liability company having an office c/o The Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Group, Inc., at 85 Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, and FIDELITY NATIONAL TITLE INSURANCE COMPANY (“Escrow Agent”), having an office at 2 Xxxx Xxxxxx, 00^xx Xxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000.

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, as of ______ ___, 200___, Landlord and Tenant entered into an Agreement of Lease (as amended from time to time, the “Lease”) for a portion of Battery Park City known as Site 26 (the “Premises”), which Premises are more particularly described in the Lease; and

WHEREAS, Section 41.28 of the Lease provides for Tenant to deliver certain documents and other materials (hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Materials”) to be held in escrow until the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease; and

WHEREAS, Escrow Agent has agreed to hold the Materials in escrow for Landlord and Tenant in accordance with the terms of this Agreement;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements herein contained, the parties hereby agree as follows:

1. At such times as the Materials are required to be furnished to Escrow Agent under the Lease, Tenant shall deposit the Materials with Escrow Agent and shall certify to Landlord no later than 60 days after the end of each Lease Year and at such other times reasonably requested by Landlord (not to exceed two additional times during any Lease Year unless an Event of Default has occurred under the Lease and is then continuing) (a) which Materials it has deposited with Escrow Agent as required under the Lease and which have not been earlier included in such a certification, (b) which Materials required to be delivered to Escrow Agent during such Lease Year, if any, were not so delivered and (c) with respect to the Materials referred to in clause (b) the location and/or status of such Materials and by what date Tenant anticipates such Materials will be deposited with the Escrow Agent as required by the Lease. Escrow Agent shall store securely such Materials in the Borough of Manhattan, New York until such Materials are disposed of as provided for in this Escrow Agreement.

Exhibit D — l

2. Escrow Agent shall deliver the Materials in its possession in accordance with the following:

(a) If Landlord shall give to Escrow Agent a notice (A) certifying to Escrow Agent that the Expiration Date has occurred and that Landlord pursuant to the Lease is entitled to the delivery of Materials, and (B) instructing Escrow Agent to deliver all Materials in Escrow Agent’s possession to Landlord (a “Demand Notice”), Escrow Agent shall promptly deliver a copy of such Demand Notice to Tenant. Ten (10) days after Escrow Agent delivers to Tenant such copy, Escrow Agent shall deliver all Materials in Escrow Agent’s possession to Landlord, provided, however, if a court order is issued prohibiting Escrow Agent from furnishing such Materials to Landlord, Escrow Agent shall not be obligated to make any delivery of the Materials (which Escrow Agent then holds or thereafter receives), but in such event, Escrow Agent shall hold the Materials until the final determination of the rights of the parties by a court of competent jurisdiction.

(b) If Landlord shall give to Escrow Agent a notice (A) certifying to Escrow Agent that the Expiration Date has occurred and that Landlord pursuant to the Lease is entitled to delivery of Materials and (B) instructing Escrow Agent how to dispose of (other than by delivery to Landlord pursuant to a Demand Notice) all Materials in Escrow Agent’s possession (“Termination Notice”), Escrow Agent shall promptly deliver a copy of such Termination Notice to Tenant. Ten (10) days after Escrow Agent delivers such copy, Escrow Agent shall promptly dispose of all Materials in Escrow Agent’s possession as per Landlord’s instruction and Escrow Agent shall have no further obligations under this Agreement, provided, however, if a court order is issued prohibiting Escrow Agent from disposing of such Materials, Escrow Agent shall not be obligated to dispose of the Materials (which Escrow Agent then holds or thereafter receives), but in such event, Escrow Agent shall hold the Materials until the final determination of the rights of the parties by a court of competent jurisdiction.

(c) Provided that there has not been given to Escrow Agent a Demand Notice or a Termination Notice, Escrow Agent shall retain possession of all Materials furnished to Escrow Agent (and not delivered to Landlord after the giving of a Demand Notice or Termination Notice) until December 31, 2069, in which case Escrow Agent shall thereafter promptly return all of the Materials then in Escrow Agent’s possession to Tenant.

3. Escrow Agent shall keep the Materials and all information contained therein confidential until such time as it delivers or disposes of the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or by order of a court of competent jurisdiction. Except for such delivery or disposition or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction, Escrow Agent shall not without the consent of Tenant (i) cause, suffer or permit the Materials to be reproduced or examined in whole or in part or (ii) disclose, or suffer or permit the disclosure of, any information contained in the Materials provided, however, that Landlord shall have the right to review the Materials and all such information during regular business hours on all business

Exhibit D — 2

days on reasonable advance notice to Escrow Agent and without the consent of Tenant. This provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

4. Tenant shall reimburse Escrow Agent for the expenses incurred by it in fulfillment of Escrow Agent’s duties under this Agreement in accordance with a separate agreement or, if none, in accordance with Escrow Agent’s customary billing practices. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent that Escrow Agent’s obligation set out in Section 1 hereof to store the Materials in the Borough of Manhattan, New York, causes Escrow Agent to incur expenses beyond those it would ordinarily incur for storage of similar materials, Escrow Agent shall be reimbursed by Tenant for all such reasonable expenses incurred. Tenant and Escrow Agent hereby agree to cooperate in good faith to minimize any such extra expenses, including by permitting Tenant, at its option, to arrange for storage space in a manner reasonably acceptable to Escrow Agent and consistent with Escrow Agent’s duties under this Agreement.

5. Tenant and Landlord may give Escrow Agent a joint notice (a) stating that Tenant and Landlord elect to terminate this Agreement and (b) directing Escrow Agent to deliver the Materials to another “Escrow Agent,” as such term is defined in Section 41.28 of the Lease (the “Successor Agent”). If Tenant and Landlord give such notice to Escrow Agent, Escrow Agent shall promptly deliver to Successor Agent all Materials in Escrow Agent’s possession or thereafter received by Escrow Agent. This provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

6. Escrow Agent may elect to resign hereunder and terminate this Agreement by giving Landlord and Tenant ninety (90) days’ notice of such resignation and termination. If, during such 90 day-period, Tenant notifies Escrow Agent that Tenant has appointed a Successor Agent reasonably acceptable to Landlord, then Escrow Agent shall deliver to such Successor Agent all Materials in Escrow Agent’s possession or thereafter received by Escrow Agent and Escrow Agent shall have no further obligations under this Agreement. If, prior to the end of such 90-day period, Tenant has not notified Escrow Agent that Tenant has appointed a Successor Agent reasonably acceptable to Landlord, Escrow Agent shall forward all Materials then in Escrow Agent’s possession to Landlord and Escrow Agent shall have no further obligations under this Agreement. This provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

7. In the event of any termination of this Agreement, Landlord and Tenant shall enter into an agreement with the Successor Agent substantially similar to this Agreement.

8. Any notice, demand, consent or other communication (but excluding Materials) required or desired to be given or delivered, with respect to this Agreement (collectively “Notices” and individually a “Notice”) to Escrow Agent shall be in writing and shall be sufficient only if received by Escrow Agent within the applicable time periods set forth herein, if any. Notices to Escrow Agent shall be mailed by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, or sent by overnight courier or served personally upon it, in each case at its

Exhibit D — 3

address set forth in this Agreement or such other address as Escrow Agent shall have last designated by notice in accordance with the provisions of this Paragraph 7 and sent to the attention of with a copy to the same address to the attention of . Notices from Escrow Agent to Tenant or Landlord shall be mailed by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, or sent by overnight courier or served personally upon them, at their respective addresses set forth in this Agreement, or at such other address as the party in question shall have last designated by notice to Escrow Agent.

All Materials shall be furnished to Escrow Agent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, personal service or overnight courier, in each case to the attention of with a copy to Landlord, without enclosures.

9. (a) It is expressly understood that Escrow Agent acts hereunder as a depository only and is not responsible or liable in any manner whatsoever for the sufficiency, correctness, genuineness or validity of any item constituting Materials or other document or instrument deposited with it, or for the form of execution of such Materials, documents or instruments, or for the identity, authority or right of any person executing or depositing the same, or for the terms and conditions of any instrument pursuant to which Escrow Agent or the parties may act. Without limiting the foregoing, it is expressly understood that Escrow Agent shall have no duty to inspect or review the Materials it receives, if any, for any purpose, including, without limitation, to determine (i) whether the same conform to the requirements of the Lease, or (ii) whether the Materials are as stated in any certificate given to Landlord by Tenant, nor shall Escrow Agent have any obligation to advise Landlord whether or not it has actually received any Materials, it being understood that Escrow Agent’s sole obligation shall be to hold and dispose of any Materials it actually receives in accordance with this Agreement. The duties of Escrow Agent are purely ministerial, and the Escrow Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities except those set forth in this Agreement and shall not incur any liability in acting upon any signature, notice, request, waiver, consent, receipt or other paper or document believed by Escrow Agent to be genuine, and Escrow Agent may assume that any person purporting to give it any notice on behalf of any party in accordance with the provisions hereof has been duly authorized to do so. It is agreed that the duties of Escrow Agent are only such as are herein specifically provided and that Escrow Agent shall incur no liability whatsoever except for gross negligence or willful misconduct. The undersigned hereby release Escrow Agent from any act done or omitted to be done by Escrow Agent hereunder except for its gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(b) Escrow Agent shall be under no responsibility with respect to the Materials other than to follow the instructions herein contained. Escrow Agent may consult with counsel and shall be fully protected in any action taken in good faith, in accordance with such advice. Escrow Agent shall not be required to defend any legal proceedings which may be instituted against Escrow Agent in respect of the subject matter of these instructions unless

Exhibit D — 4

requested so to do by the undersigned and indemnified to the satisfaction of Escrow Agent against the cost and expense of such defense by Tenant. Escrow Agent shall not be required to institute legal proceedings of any kind. In the event that the Materials, or any of them are damaged, destroyed or lost, Escrow Agent shall have no liability therefor unless the same occurred as a result of Escrow Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(c) Tenant agrees to indemnify and hold the Escrow Agent free and harmless from and against any claim, liability, suit, cost (including Escrow Agent’s reasonable counsel fees) or other obligation incurred or arising out of this Agreement excluding only Escrow Agent’s liability for its own gross negligence and willful misconduct.

(d) Landlord and Tenant have mutually requested that Escrow Agent act as Escrow Agent for the purpose of holding the Materials in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(e) Upon delivery of the Materials by Escrow Agent in accordance with this Agreement, Tenant and Landlord hereby release Escrow Agent from all obligations and liability hereunder except to the extent provided herein to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, Escrow Agent shall have no liability following delivery of the Materials in accordance with this Agreement, except that which arose prior to such delivery, and then only as set forth in this Agreement.

10. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, their successors and permitted assigns. Escrow Agent may not assign its interest in this Agreement. Except as provided in the immediately following sentence, neither Landlord nor Tenant may assign its rights under this Agreement. Landlord and Tenant shall assign their rights under this Agreement to the assignee of their respective interests in the Lease.

11. This Agreement may not be changed, modified or terminated orally, but only by a written instrument of change, modification or termination executed by all of the parties hereto.

12. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties and incorporates all prior understandings in connection with the subject matter hereof.

DESIGN GUIDELINES

DESIGN GUIDELINES FOR SITE 26 (AUGUST 2004)


A. INTRODUCTION			The Design Guidelines for Site 26 established by the Xxxx X. Xxxxx Battery Park City Authority (the “Authority”) define the urban and architectural goals for the largest remaining development parcel in Battery Park City (See Fix. 0, Xxxx Xxxx.) The site is immediately north of the World Financial Center and east of the Embassy Suites/Regal Cinemas project (Site 25) with 460 hotel rooms, a movie complex and various restaurants and stores and a major public space in the form of an art gallery/atrium. The Embassy Suites/Regal Cinemas building is separated from the Site 26 building by a landscaped pedestrian plaza, which provides access to the theater and retail entrances on the eastern side of the building and visually connects Sites 25 and 26 to the World Financial Center (the “Pedestrian Plaza”). (See Fix. 0, Xxxxxx Xxxxx Xlan and Buildable Area, Site Dimensions, Site Easements)

			The Site 26 Guidelines contain development and architectural controls, as well as requirements that will enhance the site’s contribution to the public environment of Battery Park City. They focus on defining the appropriate building volume and setbacks, the manner in which the building meets the streets and public spaces, and aspects of the overall character and materials of building elevations.

			The Site 26 Guidelines continue a standard intended to promote architectural excellence as well as ensure that development on Site 26 complements the World Financial Center. It is the intention of the guidelines to create a building that is harmonious with those areas of Battery Park City that have already been constructed, and that exhibits architectural excellence.

B. SITE DESCRIPTION

	1.	Size, Boundaries and Easements of Site 26	Site 26 is located between Xxxxxx Street and Xxxxx Street. It includes within its western boundary the Pedestrian Plaza adjacent to Site 25 and its eastern edge is adjacent to the future Xxxxxx River Park.


		The site would allow for development up to a maximum of approximately 1,887,570 square feet of zoning floor area, with a buildable footprint of approximately 74,600 square feet. (See Bulk Controls requirements in Urban Design Guidelines, below.)

		Site 26 contains the Pedestrian Plaza, which was designed and constructed as a temporary landscaped public area. A permanent plaza is to be reconstructed by the developer as a public amenity as described below.

2.	Streets	There is a 10 foot sidewalk easement on Xxxxx Street. The streets, parks, and utilities infrastructure at Battery Park City are built by the Authority. (See Fig. 2.) The streets have been mapped by the City of New York and the Street Map established the legal boundaries of streets, blocks and parks.

		Site 26 is served by Xxxxx Street, Xxxxxx Street and West Street (or “Route 9-A”). Xxxxx Street connects at grade across West Street and consists of a 100-foot right-of-way containing a 70-foot roadbed with one 8-foot parking lane, a 20-foot sidewalk to the south and a 10-foot sidewalk to the north. An additional 10-foot sidewalk easement on Block 26 will increase the north sidewalk to 20 feet.

		Xxxxxx Street extends to the west from Tribeca as a two-way 90-foot right-of-way with a 60-foot roadbed containing two 8-foot parking lanes, and 15-foot sidewalks.

		Noxxx Xxx Xxxxxx xinks the east/west streets of the north neighborhood to each other and terminates at its southern end.

		Building entrances, curb-cuts, and utility hook-ups must be coordinated with the street tree patterns and other architectural features at ground level. The developer must arrange for connections to city and private utilities.

3.	Utilities	a. Water System

		New York City water is available to Site 26 for both potable and fire fighting uses. Connections to the


		Battery Park City — Site 26 Guidelines		Page 2


				water mains are subject to the review approval of the New York City Department of Environmental and Protection. A 12-inch water main has been installed along Vesey Place.

				b. Storm Sewer

				Storm water within Battery Park City a collected via a system of catch basins and pipes connecting to Lower Manhattan’s storm sewer system. A 96-inch storm sewer line has been installed running west on Xxxxx Street with an outfall into the Xxxxxx River near the northwest corner of the NYMEX Site. Catch basins and manholes are located along sewer lines as required for connections and drainage of the streets and parks. The mains are located so that developments can connect at convenient manholes with 90-degree lines. Details of the connections are subject to the review and approval of the New York City Department of Environmental Protection.

				c. Sanitary Sewers

				Sanitary sewers in the bed of Xxxxx Street connect to the City’s sewer system in West Street. Sewer lines were installed so that all development parcels can connect to them at convenient manholes with 90-degree lines. Details of these connections are subject to the review and approval of the New York City Department of Environmental Protection.

				It may not be possible to service deep basements by gravity flow. Wherever deep basements are proposed below the elevation of the streets, it may be necessary to pump the sewage into the sewer line.

				d. Private Utilities

				Site 26 is serviced by Electricity, Gas and Telephone lines running in the right of way of Xxxxx Street and North End Avenue. A steam line currently exists along Xxxxx Street. It is the responsibility of the developer to arrange with the private utilities companies to make service connects to the building. The private utilities will be maintained by their own companies; the public utilities will be maintained by the City of New York.


		Battery Park City — Site 26 Guidelines		Page 3


		e. Geotechnical Conditions

		The landfill north of the North Cove was constructed by means of a thorough preparation of the subsurface river bottom and a careful placement of controlled fill consisting of clean sand. Some debris may have been left in the area as a result of adjacent construction projects. The Authority assumes no responsibility for the condition of the fill on Site 26.

		Site 26 is located in an area of the Xxxxxx River waterfront that was formerly occupied by a number of piers and ferry terminals. To provide a uniform subsurface for the landfill this area was dredged to about elevation -20 feet.

		The Borough of Manhattan datum Elev. 0.0 feet is set at mean high water. Ground water level in the area of Site 26 is estimated to be between -1.5 feet and -2.5 feet. Mean high water at the Xxxxxx River is at Elev. 0.0 feet. The 100-year storm elevation is at approximately Elev. +8.6 feet.

		Basement slabs can be constructed at any elevation if designed to resist hydrostatic pressure. Basement levels can extend to hard bottom and should be built with cofferdams and hydrologically sealed. If basements are provided on deep foundation elements, the slab must be designed for hydraulic uplift. All building structures are to be in accordance with all New York City local laws and codes. All local laws governing construction in flood zone areas shall apply.

C.	URBAN DESIGN GUIDELINES	The Urban Design Guidelines for Site 26 set the overall design principles for a building that will complement the World Financial Center, the Embassy Suites/Regal Cinemas development, the landscaped Pedestrian Plaza and the North Residential Neighborhood. The Guidelines are primarily concerned with the architectural quality and compatibility of the structure with existing and future buildings, and with the urban spaces around Site 26. The Guidelines define the building mass, streetwalls and heights, facade articulations, and the distribution of ground floor uses and public amenity.


		Battery Park City — Site 26 Guidelines		Page 4


		Development on Site 26 shall be in compliance with the zoning requirements contained in the New York City Zoning Resolution, as amended by the New York City Planning Commission on July 14, 2004 and the Amendment and Restatement of Declaration of Restrictions, dated as of May 18, 1995, among BPCA and certain tenants of the World Financial Center (the “Declaration of Restrictions”). In some instances the Design Guidelines are more restrictive than the Zoning and in those cases, the more restrictive requirements must be followed.

1.	Building Configuration	a. Bulk Controls

		The maximum floor area that may be built on Site 26 is approximately 1,887,570 zoning square feet, as defined in the NYC Zoning Resolution, computed on the basis of 15 FAR from Sites 25 and 26 combined.

		b. Streetwalls and Heights

		A streetwall coincident with the property line is required on Xxxxxx Street. A streetwall is also required adjacent to the eastern property line. A streetwall is required along the length of Xxxxx Street, set back 10 feet from the Xxxxx Street property line. A streetwall is required on the western edge following the eastern line of the Pedestrian Plaza as described below and indicated in Fig. 2.

		The base of the building shall rise to a height of 140 feet. Along Xxxxx Street the building must set back a minimum of 70 feet at 140 feet. It may then rise to a maximum height of 245 feet, and may intrude into the View Corridor described in the Declaration of Restrictions, provided that: (1) the building shall not obstruct more area in the View Plane than 3,000 square feet plus the area of overlap with Site 24 (approximately 1,050 square feet) as indicated on the attached View Corridor Study prepared by Xxxxx Xxxxxx Architect PC, dated August 31, 2004, and (2) no portion of the building above 245 feet shall be located in the View Corridor. The tower shall not exceed 800 feet including all obstructions. (See Fix. 0, Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxx; and Fig. 5 Massing.)


		Battery Park City — Site 26 Guidelines		Page 5


		All heights are to be measured consistent with the New York City Zoning Resolution.

2.	Permitted Uses	a. Uses

		Site 26 must be developed as a commercial office tower with not less than 5,000 square feet of ground floor retail space accessible to the public.

		b. Ground Level Entrances and Circulation

		Pedestrians will approach the building along Xxxxx Street, from the Pedestrian Plaza and from Xxxxxx Street. A major office entry is required either on Xxxxx Street or at the southeast corner of the site. There will be other entrances from the Pedestrian Plaza and West Street. (See Fig. 4, Pedestrian Entries, Curb Cuts & Loading.)

		c. Public Amenity

		The developer must redesign and rebuild the Pedestrian Plaza between Sites 25 and 26. The rebuilt Pedestrian Plaza must have a width of no less than 30 feet for approximately 210 feet along its length from Xxxxxx Street to where the eastern wall of the building on Site 25 changes its course in a southwesterly direction. Thereafter, the Pedestrian Plaza shall widen to a width at its southern terminus of not less than 45 feet as indicated in Fig. 2.

		The design of the Pedestrian Plaza is subject to approval by the Authority. The Pedestrian Plaza shall be a public space covered for all or part of its entire 30-foot-wide length, though it may be uncovered for the area that is wider.

		The Pedestrian Plaza must be open every day for public access, 24 hours per day, except as required to perform maintenance activities, such periods of closure to be subject to agreement with the Authority.

		The plaza and all of its appurtenances must be compatible with the high quality of design and materials of the rest of the building.


		Battery Park City — Site 26 Guidelines		Page 6


			d.	Building Servicing

			No curb may be located on Xxxxx Street. Curb cuts may be no more than 30 feet wide and loading docks must be fully enclosed within the building. (See Fig. 2)

			Emergency exits must be dispersed. They should be designed so that they contribute to the visual interest of the pedestrian level.

D.	ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN GUIDELINES		Architectural controls have been imposed for Site 26 primarily to ensure that the building is compatible with the existing structures of the World Financial Center, the New York Mercantile Exchange and the Embassy Suites/Regal Cinemas development and is in compliance with the Declaration of Restrictions.

	1.	Building Wall Materials	The World Financial Center should be a model in terms of the quality and detailing of material. Should metal be used, it must be stainless steel with the exception of window frames. Should stone be used, it must be of a size and quality similar to the World Financial Center.

	2.	Glass and Fenestration	The building must be compatible with the vocabulary of the other commercial tower buildings.

THIS AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of _________ , 20___ , between BATTERY PARK CITY AUTHORITY d/b/a XXXX X. XXXXX BATTERY PARK CITY AUTHORITY, a body corporate and politic constituting a public benefit corporation of the State of New York, having an office at One World Financial Center, New York, New York 10281 (the “Ground Lessor”), and __________________ , a _________ , having an office at ____________ (the “Landlord”), and _________, a _______________ having an office at ____________ (the “Tenant”).

W I T N E S S E T H :

WHEREAS, Ground Lessor is the ground lessor of the building located at Site 00, Xxxxxxx Xxxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx, as more particularly described on Exhibit A attached hereto (the “Premises”), pursuant to that certain Agreement of Lease, dated as of [ ______], 2004 (the “Ground Lease”), between Ground Lessor, as landlord, and [Landlord] [Xxxxxxx Sachs Headquarters LLC], as tenant (the “Original Tenant”). [Landlord has succeeded the Original Tenant as tenant under the Ground Lease pursuant to that certain Agreement of Assignment and Assumption dated as of ___.] Capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Ground Lease.

WHEREAS, Tenant has entered into a lease dated ___, ___between Landlord, as sublandlord, and Tenant, as subtenant, with respect to certain space (the “Demised Premises”) in the Premises (said sublease, as heretofore or hereafter amended and supplemented, is hereinafter called the “Lease”); and

WHEREAS, Ground Lessor, Landlord and Tenant desire to enter into this Agreement upon the terms, covenants and conditions contained herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the agreements of the parties contained herein, the parties hereto hereby covenant and agree as follows:

1. Except as expressly stated herein, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to be an approval by Ground Lessor of the provisions of the Lease.

2. Each of Ground Lessor and Tenant agrees that this Agreement satisfies the requirements of Section 10.09 of the Lease and that, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Lease is and shall be subject and subordinate to the Ground Lease

Exhibit I — 1

and all renewals, amendments, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof.

3. If (i) the Ground Lease shall be terminated as a consequence or result of any default in the performance or observance of Landlord’s duties or obligations thereunder, (ii) the Ground Lease shall be rejected pursuant to Section 365 of the federal Bankruptcy Code (or any successor statute of similar function), whether by Landlord, or any bankruptcy trustee, or otherwise, or (iii) there occurs any voluntary termination of the Ground Lease agreed to between Ground Lessor and Landlord (any of the foregoing events described in clauses (i) through (iii) a “Lease Termination”), then Ground Lessor hereby agrees that for so long as Tenant shall not be in default in the performance or observance of any of Tenant’s obligations under the Lease such that Landlord has the right thereunder to terminate the Lease (the “Nondisturb Conditions”), (a) Ground Lessor shall not join Tenant as a party defendant in any action or proceeding which may be instituted or taken by Ground Lessor under the Ground Lease, by reason of any default by Landlord thereunder, to terminate the Ground Lease, to remove or evict the Landlord or to recover possession of the Premises, unless required by law in order to make such action or proceeding effective, (b) Tenant shall not be evicted from the Demised Premises, and (c) Tenant’s leasehold estate under the Lease shall not be diminished, interfered with, disturbed or terminated.

4. Tenant hereby agrees that, in the event of any act or omission by Landlord which would give Tenant the right, either immediately or after the lapse of a period of time, to terminate the Lease, or to claim a partial or total eviction where the relief sought by Tenant is the termination of the Lease (as distinguished from monetary relief), Tenant shall not exercise any such right (a) until it has given written notice of such act or omission to Ground Lessor, and (b) until a reasonable period for remedying such act or omission shall have elapsed following such giving of notice. From and after the date hereof, Tenant shall send a copy of any notice in connection with the commencement of any action to terminate the Lease to Ground Lessor at the same time such notice or statement is sent to Landlord under the Lease and agrees that, notwithstanding any provisions of the Lease to the contrary, such notice shall not be effective unless Ground Lessor shall have been given such notice and shall have failed to cure such default as herein provided. All notices given under this Agreement shall be sent by certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, or shall be delivered to the parties at the addresses set forth above (or at such other addresses as the parties hereto shall specify in a written notice to the other parties at the addresses specified herein). Any notices hereunder shall be deemed to be given on the earlier to occur of (a) the day of receipt and (b) three (3) days after deposit in the mail.

Exhibit I — 2

5. Tenant and Ground Lessor hereby agree that, in the event by reason of default on the part of Landlord under the Ground Lease or by reason of the termination of the Ground Lease, Ground Lessor shall enter into and become possessed of the Premises, then, provided the Nondisturb Conditions shall be satisfied, the Lease shall continue as a direct lease between Ground Lessor and Tenant upon all of the terms, covenants, conditions and agreements as set forth in the Lease, and Tenant agrees to be bound thereby and to attorn to Ground Lessor and recognize Ground Lessor as its landlord; provided, however, that Ground Lessor shall not be:

(a) liable for any act or omission of any prior landlord (including, without limitation, the then defaulting landlord), or subject to any offsets or defenses that such Subtenant may have against any prior landlord (including, without limitation, the then defaulting landlord) except that nothing will relieve the Ground Lessor of liability in respect of performing such acts or omissions that (x) continue after the date that Ground Lessor succeeds to the interest of Landlord, and (y) may be remedied by providing a service or performing a repair, replacement or alteration that Ground Lessor is otherwise obligated to provide under the Lease, taking into account the terms of this Section 5 but as if such act or omission first occurred on the date Ground Lessor succeeds to the interest of Landlord;

(b) except with respect to a semi-annual prepayment of real estate tax or PILOT and any payments corresponding to payments due under the Ground Lease more than one month in advance, bound by any payment that Tenant might have paid to any prior landlord (including, without limitation, the then defaulting landlord), or any other Person of (x) rent, common area charges, or any other charge payable under the Lease for more than one (1) month in advance (other than security deposits, which shall be governed by clause (y) below) or (y) any security deposit which shall not have been delivered to Grand Lessor;

(c) bound by any covenant to undertake or complete any construction of the Building or any portion thereof demised by the Lease or to provide any services other than

	a.		services commonly provided by owners of like buildings to commercial tenants in similar circumstances;

	b.		repairs to the Premises that become necessary by reason of a fire or other casualty that occurs prior, from and/or after the date that Ground Lessor succeeds to Landlord’s interest in the Premises and that Landlord is required to perform pursuant to

Exhibit I — 3

			the Lease, to the extent that Ground Lessor can make such repairs from the net proceeds of Landlord’s insurance policies that are actually made available to Ground Lessor (provided, however, that if (i) Landlord is required to repair the resulting damage to the Building pursuant to the Lease and (ii) Ground Lessor cannot make such repairs from such net proceeds, then (A) Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease by giving notice thereof to Ground Lessor within thirty (30) days after the date that Ground Lessor gives Tenant notice that Ground Lessor does not intend to perform such repairs or (B) failing notice that Ground Lessor will make such repairs, Tenant shall have the right to terminate the Lease at any time after (30) days following Tenant’s request for Ground Lessor’s written agreement that it will undertake such repairs without having received such written agreement); and

	c.		repairs to the Premises as a result of a partial condemnation that occurs prior, from and/or after the date that Ground Lessor succeeds to Landlord’s interest in the Premises and that Landlord is required to perform pursuant to the Lease, to the extent that Ground Lessor can make such repairs from the net proceeds of any condemnation award made available to Ground Lessor (provided, however, that if (x) a partial condemnation occurs and Ground Lessor cannot make such repairs from such net proceeds, then (A) Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease by giving notice thereof to Ground Lessor within thirty (30) days after the date that Ground Lessor gives Tenant notice that Ground Lessor does not intend to perform such repairs or (B) failing notice that Ground Lessor will make such repairs, Tenant shall have the right to terminate the Lease at any time after thirty (30) days following Tenant’s request for Ground Lessor’s written agreement that it will undertake such repairs without having received such written agreement).

(d) without limiting the obligations of Ground Lessor as and to the extent set forth in Section 5(a) above, bound by any obligation to make any payment to Tenant, other than (i) the return of any deposit in accordance with the terms of the Lease received by Ground Lessor from either Tenant or from the prior landlord and (ii) refunds in accordance with the Lease of overpayments made to Ground Lessor (or made to the

Exhibit I — 4

prior landlord and received by Ground Lessor) for items such as operating expense reimbursements or PILOT reimbursements;

(e) bound by any amendment to the Lease or modification thereof which reduces the basic rent, additional rent, supplemental rent or other charges payable under the Lease (except to the extent equitably reflecting a reduction in the space covered by the Lease), or shortens or lengthens the term thereof, or otherwise increases the obligations of landlord thereunder, made without the written consent of Ground Lessor or without the written determination of Ground Lessor that the Lease, as amended or modified by any such amendment or modification, is a Qualifying Sublease;

(f) subject to any abatement, counterclaim, offset or defense at any time during the term of the Lease with respect to (i) the payment of rent or additional rent by Tenant or (ii) any obligations (including, without limitation, payment obligations), in either case to the extent that the same accrued against any prior landlord under the Lease;

(g) subject to any right of cancellation or termination which requires payment by the landlord thereunder of a charge, fee or penalty for such cancellation or termination (except if Ground Lessor voluntarily exercises such right of cancellation or termination other than as a result of a casualty or condemnation);

(h) subject to any right of first refusal or first offer to purchase the Premises or any portion thereof;

(i) liable for any brokerage or leasing commission due in connection with the Lease, except to the extent of any such commissions due in connection with Tenant’s exercise of a renewal or expansion option subsequent to a termination of the Lease, provided that such commissions are commercially reasonable in light of the facts and circumstances; or

(j) bound by any obligation to contest any termination of the PILOT Program described in the Lease, if any, or to look to The City of New York for recovery of any sums in respect thereof; provided, however, nothing herein shall be deemed to permit Ground Lessor to surrender or otherwise agree to a termination of the benefits under said PILOT Program or waive any right of recovery to which Tenant may be entitled.

The provisions of this Section 5 shall be self-operative without the need for any further instruments, provided that upon the request of either Tenant or Ground Lessor, Tenant or Ground Lessor, as the case may be, shall promptly execute and deliver to the

Exhibit I — 5

other an agreement or other instrument in recordable form reasonably acceptable to Tenant or Ground Lessor, as applicable, which may be necessary or appropriate to evidence such attornment.

6. Ground Lessor, Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that nothing in this Agreement, and the execution of this Agreement itself, shall be construed to alleviate or otherwise modify Landlord’s responsibilities under the Ground Lease to obtain any required approvals from Ground Lessor.

8. Tenant agrees that it shall not assign its interest in the Lease or enter into a sublease of all or any portion of the Demised Premises to a Prohibited Person.

9. Tenant acknowledges that, pursuant to Section 10.06 of the Ground Lease, Ground Lessor may elect to collect rent and all other sums due under the Lease under certain circumstances. In the event that Ground Lessor elects to collect rent or other charges under Section 10.06 of the Ground Lease, then from and after such election until further notice from Ground Lessor, Tenant shall pay its rent, additional rent and all other sums due under the Lease directly to Ground Lessor.

10. Notwithstanding any provision of the Lease or this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that A) Ground Lessor is The City of New York or any agency thereof, B) Ground Lessor shall succeed to the interest of Landlord and thereby enter into and become possessed of the Premises and C) at the time in question it is the policy of The City of New York not to purchase commercial general liability insurance in respect of its owned office facilities, any obligations of Landlord under the Lease with respect to commercial general liability insurance shall be deemed modified in such manner as to allow Ground Lessor to self-insure.

11. This Agreement may not be modified, amended or terminated unless in writing and duly executed by the party against whom the same is sought to be asserted and constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.

12. This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

13. The parties hereto acknowledge, intend and agree that the relationship between them is solely that of independent contracting parties, and nothing in the Lease or this Agreement shall be construed to constitute the parties as employer/employee,

Exhibit I — 6

partners, joint venturers, co-owners, or otherwise as participants in a joint common undertaking.

14. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute but one and the same agreement.

15. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York.

16. Any notice required or desired to be given pursuant to this Agreement shall be in writing with copies directed as indicated below and shall be personally delivered, or in lieu of personal delivery, by depositing same with a prepaid commercial overnight courier for next-day delivery, in which event such notice shall be deemed delivered on the next business day after deposit with the courier, or by United States registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, with a signed receipt, in which event such notice shall be deemed delivered upon receipt.

EXHIBIT K-1

REQUIRED UTILITY MODIFICATIONS

General

	•		Due to the congestion of utility infrastructure (electrical, telecom, steam, sanitary, storm, gas) on Xxxxx Street resulting from breadth of existing services serving the area, the proposed new services serving Site 26, the routing and physical arrangement of the existing services, the questionable accuracy of existing documentation, and the undocumented utility changes made subsequent to 9/11, it has been difficult at best to determine if, and how, services would be supplied to Site 26. These conditions may be potentially exacerbated by other subgrade penetrations such as tree pits, bollards, other security measures, etc.

	•		To improve stand-off, the existing curb on Xxxxx Street shall be extended to the south by 11 feet. All existing and new utility elements shall coordinate with these new curb dimensions.

	•		To improve stand-off, the existing curb on Xxxxxx Street shall be extended to the north by 8 feet. All existing and new utility elements shall coordinate with these new curb dimensions.

	•		Flexibility in use of tree pits and bollards, location of tree pits or bollards, or alternate solutions will be required to coordinate with utilities beneath sidewalks.

	•		The utility congestion and locations will preclude the use of security trenches such as “tiger traps” on the north side of Xxxxx Street, the north side of Xxxxxx Street and the south side of Xxxxxx Street and these measures will not be implemented.

	•		All utility infrastructure shall be coordinated between the various utilities and the Engineer designated by GS Headquarters and utilities shall be delivered to Site 26 as indicated below..

	•		Electrical utility point of entries shall be provided on both Xxxxx Street and Xxxxxx Street as indicated below.

	•		All work described herein shall be undertaken in consultation with GS Headquarters and the engineer designated by GS Headquarters.

Steam Utility Issues

	•		All steam valves and expansion joints on the steam line serving Site 26 shall be inspected and repaired, as required, by ConEdison to prevent release of steam.

	•		Valve in steam vault to allow temporary boiler connection to serve Site 26 in event of steam failure shall be engineered and installed by ConEdison.

	•		BPCA shall install a service head valve for steam service to a point of entry location within the foundation wall as indicated on the drawings.

Exhibit K(1) — 1

	•		Utility steam vault located on the mid-block of Xxxxx Street shall be removed and replaced by ConEdison with spool piece to coordinate with above grade elements (bollards, tree pits, etc.). The western steam vault shall remain and the curb bump-out near the pedestrian walkway shall coordinate with this steam vault.

	•		Locations and inverts for all existing steam lines routed below Xxxxx Street shall be identified.

	•		The steam line on West Street running below the center planting area shall be relocated west by ConEdison to the area below the bike path to coordinate with existing plantings and utilities.

If additional as-of-right economic or tax incentives, credits, savings, abatements or other benefits (“New Lower Manhattan Incentives”) are made available to tenants or developers (but not to Xxxxxxx Sachs at Site 26) in the World Trade Center area (including 7 WTC and World Financial Center, but excluding Freedom Tower), after the date hereof through 2012 (excluding Lower Manhattan Incentive legislation passed by the State Legislature in the 2005 Legislative session (Xxxx X. 5930) and any related chapter amendments as of this date (the “2005 Lower Manhattan Incentives Legislation”)). The City, State and BPCA will offer or provide additional benefits to Xxxxxxx Sachs to the extent necessary to ensure that such additional benefits, together with discretionary and as-of-right benefits already available to Xxxxxxx Xxxxx at Site 26, are equivalent to the New Lower Manhattan Incentives (as calculated using consistent methodologies). The Ground Lease will provide that to the extent that the City and State shall not otherwise provide Xxxxxxx Sachs with an additional $6 million benefit, either in the form of a commercial rent occupancy tax abatement (under the 2005 Lower Manhattan Incentives Legislation, as amended, or otherwise) or another credit, then

TERM SHEET - 1 -

August 4, 2005

Xxxxxxx Xxxxx shall be permitted to credit such amount against its PILOT obligations, together with interest thereon at the rate of 7.75 percent per annum until fully recovered (but that in no event is it intended that Xxxxxxx Sachs should have the benefit of both such $6 million credit and the CRT abatement under the 0000 Xxxxx Xxxxxxxxx Incentives Legislation and if the same occurs, Xxxxxxx Xxxxx will repay the second of such amounts realized).

Headcount Requirements:

The calculation of headcount commitments for economic incentives shall permit Xxxxxxx Sachs to include up to 65 percent of contract employees toward the headcount (without a requirement to establish their full-time status), subject to a 20% limitation on the number of contract employees and full-time equivalent employees that may be included in the annual headcount. Should Xxxxxxx Xxxxx fall below the headcount commitments for any duration of time, they shall be given a 90-day period to cure such default.

Upon a sale of a portion(s) of Xxxxxxx Sachs, its headcount, employment growth and occupancy commitments (but not its headquarters or designated operations and facilities), and the discretionary benefits described in the project agreement between NYCEDC and Xxxxxxx Xxxxx, shall be ratably adjusted.

The terrorism-related provisions of the NYCEDC project agreement will be modified such that the “Multiplier Factor” shall not be used for purposes of calculating benefits recapture amounts to be paid by Goldman.

Liberty Bonds:

The State and City shall make available and approve, as necessary, $1.65 Billion in Liberty Bonds for the project, subject to applicable federal criteria for eligible project costs. The State and City shall support issuances in tranches if Xxxxxxx Xxxxx requests, subject to Xxxxxxx Sachs’ satisfaction of only ministerial conditions.

If Xxxxxxx Xxxxx moves its corporate headquarters from the site prior to the fifth anniversary of substantial completion, or otherwise breaches any of the other commitments in the Liberty Bond project agreement so as to trigger liquidated damages under the project agreement between Liberty Development Corporation (LDC) and Xxxxxxx Sachs, said damages shall be, in the aggregate, 35 basis points per annum (so long as default is continuing) multiplied by the outstanding principle amount with a cap of $60 million. Xxxxxxx Xxxxx will also commit in the LDC project agreement not to relocate its headquarters for so long as the Liberty Bonds are outstanding, but Goldman

TERM SHEET - 2 -

August 4, 2005

Sachs’ sole liability for doing so (except as described in the preceding sentence) shall be as set forth in the NYCEDC project agreement.

LDC shall not be required to approve any amendments or waivers granted by the Battery Park City Authority (BPCA) in favor of Xxxxxxx Xxxxx regarding the ground lease. However, it is expected that BPCA will consult with LDC prior to agreeing to amendments to ensure conformity with federal and IRS provisions.

Inasmuch as the Liberty Bonds are not expected to be issued prior to the execution and delivery of the Ground Lease and other documents (but rather four to six weeks thereafter), all of said documents shall be expressly conditioned on the issuance of Liberty Bonds on the terms contemplated herein and otherwise as previously agreed upon and the failure to effect such issuance (other than as a result of an abandonment of the issuance by Xxxxxxx Sachs) shall render said documents null and void.

Sales Tax:

The Ground Lease will provide to Xxxxxxx Xxxxx sales tax benefits for core and shell costs and eligible fit-out costs (including non-fixture fit out, technology and furnishings) and amounts not otherwise provided by law through the fourth year of initial occupancy of the improvements on Site 26 (beginning with construction commencement). We do not expect the value of the sales tax benefits to exceed $60 million, which amount is exclusive of amounts to which Xxxxxxx Sachs may be entitled on account of its earned “Growth Credits” under the NYCEDC project agreement. Such benefits shall not be subject to recapture or forfeiture under said project agreement.

Xxxxx Street Entrance; Logistics Plan:

The Battery Park City Authority shall not require Xxxxxxx Sachs to create an entrance to its building from Xxxxx Street.

Battery Park City Authority has approved the Logistics Plan (included in the attached NYSDOT Right of Entry Agreement).

Work Rules:

The Lower Manhattan Construction Command Center shall commit to working with Xxxxxxx Sachs to develop a set of appropriate work rules, consistent with a “fast track construction process” without regard to historical practice of BPCA, including the attached Work Rules. Appeals shall be made to LMCCC within three days.

TERM SHEET - 3 -

August 4, 2005

MWBE:

Minority- and women-owned business involvement shall account for 25% of the cost associated with the building’s core and shell (excluding “Exempt” and “Proprietary” work), after the date of execution of the ground lease, subject to and in accordance with the attached MWBE Program (and related sample report). We would encourage and expect Xxxxxxx Xxxxx to establish a pilot program to ensure appropriate levels of minority participation in the construction workforce.

Green Building Standards:

A LEEDS Gold standard for the building shall be sufficient to meet BPCA’s green building requirements.

Environmental Remediation:

BPCA shall deliver a clean site, with any required environmental remediation to be performed by either BPCA or, at Xxxxxxx Sachs’ election, Xxxxxxx Xxxxx. Should Xxxxxxx Sachs perform the remediation, BPCA will fund all such work up to $1 million, and shall not withhold reasonable approval of the contractor.

Designation and Access:

Concurrently herewith, BPCA will execute and deliver the Designation Letter Extension and the Access Letter, the latter of which provides Xxxxxxx Xxxxx with 2 free months of access to the site on the terms set forth therein.

Escrows and Milestones:

The State and the City commit to entering into a MOU to establish that the physical and security treatments, as described in documents attached hereto, shall be put in place as described and as scheduled in said documents. In lieu of an MOU, the State, the City, BPCA and Xxxxxxx Sachs will implement directly into the other documentation for the transaction (such as the ground lease) the terms set forth in this section “Escrows and Milestones.”

The MOU (or the documentation) shall provide for an exemption for sales tax payments for tenant improvements, furniture, fixtures, and equipment, and shall further provide for (i) Xxxxxxx Xxxxx’ payment into an escrow (the “Sales Tax Escrow”) of the sales tax amounts that would otherwise have been due (but excluding, and after receipt by Xxxxxxx Sachs of, amounts to which Xxxxxxx Xxxxx is entitled in connection with the

TERM SHEET - 4 -

August 4, 2005

sales tax exemption described above in “Sales Tax” and entitled on account of Growth Credits under the NYCEDC project agreement) and (ii) BPCA’s deposit into an escrow (the “Ground Lease Payments Escrow”) of ground lease payments made by Xxxxxxx Sachs.

The Sales Tax Escrow shall be payable to the State and the City if prior to December 31, 2009 (which date may be extended to not later than March 31, 2010, as long as the public parties are proceeding with all necessary diligence to complete the construction of the Specific Downtown Projects and/or the development and implementation of the Plan as described in clauses (i) and (ii) below):

(i) the Specific Downtown Projects for Construction (per the attached schedule labeled “Specific Downtown Projects (Construction Milestone Schedule)”) shall have been completed; and

(ii) the Plan (as defined in the attached letter from Xxxxx X. Xxxxxxxxx to Xxxxxx X. Xxxxx, dated July 27, 2005 (the “Xxxxxxxxx Letter”), which Plan shall be deemed supplemented for purposes of this proposal by the letter from Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxx to Xxxxxx X. Xxxxx, dated July 21, 2005) shall have been developed and implemented in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Xxxxxxxxx Letter.

The Sales Tax Escrow shall be payable to Xxxxxxx Xxxxx (i) if as of December 31, 2009 (as the same may be extended in accordance with the parenthetical above with respect to the Specific Downtown Projects), the Specific Downtown Projects shall have not been completed, or (ii) if prior to such date, the State shall have taken an action that would frustrate such completion by such date or shall have taken any action with respect to any Specific Downtown Project that is contrary to the agreements set forth herein or in any of the attachments hereto.

The Sales Tax Escrow shall also be payable to Xxxxxxx Sachs if the Plan is not developed or implemented in accordance with said procedures or on or prior to December 31, 2009 (as the same may be extended in accordance with the parenthetical above with respect to the Plan).

The Ground Lease Payments Escrow shall be payable to the City if the portions of the Plan that are the City’s responsibility are developed and implemented in accordance with the procedures and within the time requirements set forth in the Xxxxxxxxx Letter and in no event later than December 31, 2009 (which date may be extended to not later than March 31, 2010, as long as the City is proceeding with all necessary diligence to the development and implementation of such portions of the Plan).

TERM SHEET - 5 -

August 4, 2005

The Ground Lease Payments Escrow shall be payable to Xxxxxxx Sachs if any portion of the Plan which is the City’s responsibility to develop and implement is not developed or implemented in accordance with the procedures or within said time requirements set forth in the Xxxxxxxxx Letter and in no event later than December 31, 2009 (as the same may be extended in accordance with the parenthetical in the immediately preceding paragraph), or if the City takes any action that frustrates the development and implementation of any other component of the Plan in accordance with the foregoing.

The City acknowledges that the City’s responsibilities and obligations in respect of the Plan are in many respects indivisible from the obligations of the State in respect of the Plan and require the cooperation and participation of the City and the New York City Police Department with the State and other relevant governmental agencies.

The dates and time requirements referred to in the preceding paragraphs in this section “Escrows and Milestones” shall be subject to force majeure events, but otherwise, time shall be of the essence with respect to the dates set forth herein).

“Force majeure” means:

	1.		a natural phenomenon or casualty that affects completion of the Specific Downtown Projects,

	2.		a Federal, State or City law or court ruling, provided that the State and the City shall have exercised their best efforts to prevent such law or ruling. Such efforts include (without limitation) the following:

with respect to any law,

	i.		no State or City executive officer shall have introduced or initiated, or otherwise materially supported, the same,

	ii.		State and City executive officers shall have affirmatively opposed and lobbied against the legislation (and cooperated with GS in connection therewith),

	iii.		any available vetoes on the part of the State and City were exercised,

	iv.		promptly upon the enactment of such legislation, the State and City shall have initiated and thereafter diligently prosecuted all reasonable legal challenges to the same, until the rendering of a final non-appealable judgment from the highest court of competent jurisdiction, and

with respect to any legal ruling, the State and City shall have promptly undertaken initiated a defense and thereafter diligently prosecuted the

TERM SHEET - 6 -

same to final non-appealable judgment in the highest court of competent jurisdiction, or

a labor strike or an inability to obtain materials which is not reasonably foreseeable, in each case, notwithstanding reasonable efforts to avoid and/or mitigate the resulting delay; provided that any event of force majeure described in the clause 3 shall not, in any event, excuse performance for a period in excess of the period of such event of force majeure.

Further, with respect to any legal challenge or defense per the above, the City and State shall have used all reasonable good faith efforts to provide Xxxxxxx Sachs and its counsel with the right to participate and otherwise shall have consulted regularly and meaningfully with Xxxxxxx Xxxxx and its counsel as to all aspects thereof.

Xxxxxxx Sachs will have the right to utilize the sales tax exemption for the remaining term of the ground lease without requirement that it make payments into the escrow accounts for purchases (up to a maximum equivalent to the then-present value of $160 million on January 1, 2006, using the City’s discount rate), which benefits shall not be subject to recapture or forfeiture under the NYCEDC project agreement, subsequent to the occurrence of those events that result (or, had they occurred later, would have resulted) in the payment of the Sales Tax Escrow to Xxxxxxx Xxxxx.

If all or any portion of work listed as items A, C, D, G and H of the Specific Downtown Projects are not completed, or the Plan is not developed and implemented, in either case by December 31, 2009, or if all or any portion of work listed as items B and F of the Specific Downtown Projects are not completed by December 31, 2010, then (in addition to its right to the escrowed amounts as described above) Xxxxxxx Sachs will be relieved of its commitments under the NYCEDC project agreement and the LDC project agreement (without forfeiture or recapture obligations).

In addition, HRPT or LMDC shall deposit into an escrow account (the “HRPT Escrow”) an amount equal to the construction costs for improvements within HRPT property west of the western curb of the Lay-by Lane similar to those improvements constructed by or on behalf of HRPT in similar areas in Xxxxxx River Park (the “Base Amount”), estimated to be $5 million. Said amounts shall be disbursed to Xxxxxxx Sachs as it constructs said improvements as contemplated in Exhibit 3 of the Xxxxxx River Park Trust Permit attached hereto.

Electricity:

TERM SHEET - 7 -

August 4, 2005

Site 26 shall be provided, at Gold Sachs’s option, 5 megawatts of peak demand [9am-5pm] electricity otherwise allocated to the WTC, on the same discounted rate basis as provided to WTC.

Self-insurance:

Xxxxxxx Xxxxx may exercise its right to self insure in an amount not to exceed the lesser of (1) $350 mm (adjusted by CPI) and (ii) 15% of the annual average of Xxxxxxx Sachs’s pre-tax earnings over the previous eight fiscal quarters.

Extension of Time Commitments:

Each deadline or commencement date for Xxxxxxx Sachs’s performance shall be extended by one year plus, if the documents are not executed and delivered by November 5, 2005, one day for each day after November 1, 2005 until the documents are executed and delivered. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Pilot Commencement Date shall be changed from July 1, 2006, to July 1, 2007, only if The Xxxxxxx Sachs Group, Inc. does not create assessable building infrastructure at the Project Premises (PILOT) prior to January 5, 2006; otherwise, it shall be the July 1st following the first taxable status date on which the New York City Department of Finance assesses building infrastructure improvements at the project premises (PILOT).

Constitutionality of Benefits:

If any economic incentives are ruled unconstitutional, then the City and State governments shall use their best efforts to provide such economic incentives in a constitutional manner subject to Goldman maintaining its commitments under the NYCEDC Project Agreement. If notwithstanding such efforts, the incentives cannot be so provided, then Xxxxxxx Sachs may elect either (i) to be relieved of its commitments under NYCEDC and LDC project agreements upon repayment of any benefits (multiplied by the applicable “Recapture Percentage”) that have been realized by Xxxxxxx Xxxxx, (except Xxxxxxx Sachs shall still be liable for any forfeiture payments or liquidated damages for which it became liable prior to such ruling), upon which election any future benefits not found unconstitutional in such ruling shall be permanently forfeited, or (ii) to maintain its commitments under the NYCEDC Project Agreement and continue to enjoy any future benefits not found to be unconstitutional in such ruling, subject to (x) pro-ration based on loss of benefits of its headcount commitment with respect to “Non-Relocation Reductions”, employment growth and occupancy commitments and (y) with respect to “Relocation Reductions”, increasing each buffer percentage used to determine benefits recapture payment obligations by an amount equal to such percentage multiplied by the percentage of benefits determined to

be unconstitutional and not otherwise replaced by the City and State, provided that if 10% or more of the benefits are ruled unconstitutional and not otherwise replaced by the City and State, then no recapture payments shall be applicable until there shall have been a Relocation Reduction of 7% or more (as such percentage shall be increased by the calculation provided for above in this clause (y)).

Ferry Landing Rights:

The Port Authority will use best efforts (and the State will use its best efforts to have the Port Authority use its best efforts), consistent with the existing agreement with the current ferry landing operator:

(i) to make arrangements with such operator to provide to Xxxxxxx Xxxxx, upon Xxxxxxx Xxxxx’ written request, access to and landing rights at such ferry landings (including appropriate landing and slip spaces, and processing and waiting areas). to accommodate ferry services by or on behalf of Xxxxxxx Sachs, and

(ii) to have such access and landing rights provided by the operator on non-discriminatory and commercially reasonable terms comparable to the terms on which access and landing rights are provided to other entities operating like ferry services.

NYC Comptroller Approval:

The City and State understand that a condition to Xxxxxxx Xxxxx’ proceeding with the transaction is that the City and State obtain, not later than the close of business August 10, 2005, the approval of the New York City Comptroller to all of the terms of the proposed transaction, including those set forth herein and in the attachments hereto, and the City and State will use reasonable good faith efforts to obtain such approval by such date.

Elevation of Security-Related Disputes:

If Xxxxxxx Sachs has a dispute with the State or City regarding any aspect of the security for Site 26 or the WTC Site and environs, then, within ten (10) business days after Xxxxxxx Xxxxx’ request, the Governor or Mayor, or both (as applicable), shall meet with Xxxxxxx Sachs’ Chief Executive Officer to discuss and attempt to resolve such dispute.

TERM SHEET - 10 -

Draft of August 8, 2005

Perimeter Security — Bollards

With regard to bollard placement, GS, HRPT, the State, NYSDOT and BPCA acknowledge and agree as follows (and the City does not object to the agreements made hereinbelow):

		1.		The “Security Specifications” referred to in Exhibit A hereto constitute the necessary and appropriate specifications for the perimeter security for the improvements to be constructed on Site 26, which is an office tower at which thousands of individuals are expected to work daily, situated within a several-block area within which tens of thousands of workers and visitors are expected daily. The Security Specifications emphasize, among other items, the necessity for “stand-off” for the Site 26 building and the consequential need for security barriers as proximate to the curb as possible.

		2.		In developing and implementing a security-perimeter plan for Site 26 that satisfies the Security Specifications, the parties have given and will give due regard to the interests of pedestrians and bicyclists at and around Site 26.

		3.		The security analyses performed by the parties’ respective employees and agents conclude that, given current technology and experience, the placement of bollards in the manner shown on Xxxxxxx Sachs’ submitted PCF-prepared Exhibit C-1 (Drawings 1, 2, and 3) is an existing method that will satisfy the Security Specifications in a manner that the public-sector parties believe on balance to be reasonably accommodating to the interests of pedestrians and bicyclists at and around Site 26 and will not constitute a significant action affecting the Xxxxxx River Park or the community. Absent an agreed-upon alternative described in paragraph 5 below, the bollard placement indicated in such exhibits will be implemented.

		4.		In the period between now and the physical implementation of the security-perimeter plan in accordance with Exhibit B, the parties will continue to discuss and study alternatives to such security-perimeter plan (including alternatives employing other tested technologies) that will still satisfy the Security Specifications but better serve in a reasonable manner the interests of pedestrians and bicyclists at and around Site 26. GS shall not be required to bear any material incremental cost of such alternatives.

		5.		If such alternatives are found to exist and consented to by all parties, such consent to be granted or withheld in the discretion of the parties exercised in good faith, then such alternatives shall be implemented.

Draft of August 8, 2005

Exhibit A — Security Specifications

Performance standards for bollards at Site 26 are based on Department of State specifications SD-SDT-0201.

At high speed approaches to the property, K12/L3 bollards/barriers will be required. These bollards/barriers are tested and certified by Department of State to stop a vehicle weighing 15,000 lbs traveling at 50 mph with no more penetration than 3 ft (capable of absorbing 1.7 mega joules of energy). The K12/L3 bollards will be used the entire length of West Street, following the curb of Route 9-A, and will also turn the corners at West Street along both Xxxxx Street and Xxxxxx Street (with the bollards to be set back to accommodate pedestrian and bicycle curb cuts as discussed) for approximately 80’ west of each corner.

At lower speed approaches to the property, K8/L3 bollards/barriers will be required. These bollards/barriers are tested and certified by Department of State to stop a vehicle weighing 15,000 lbs traveling at 40 mph with no more penetration than 3 ft (capable of absorbing 1.1 mega joules of energy). The K8/L3 bollards will be used from approximately 80’ west of the corner(s) at West Street (where the K12/L3 bollard zone ends) along Xxxxx Street and Xxxxxx Street and will continue west along the balance of the perimeter.

To meet the specifications for energy absorption, the actual bollards will have a diameter, and height, and be spaced a distance apart, that conforms to the K12/L3 and K8/L3 standards. Those standards and dimensions are in accordance with Department of State standards and the available below grade engineering requirements.

Managing Director
Xxxxxxx, Sachs & Co.
00 Xxxxx Xxxxxx
Xxx Xxxx, XX 00000

Dear Xx. Xxxxx:

I have summarized below the agreements we have reached over the last several very productive weeks for our further discussion. Underlying all our agreements is our mutual belief that redevelopment of Lower Manhattan must include high quality design features that ensure a respectful setting for the World Trade Center (WTC) Memorial and the creation of a “pedestrian precinct” by developing a promenade which will itself be an attractive destination point. The Xxxxx 0X/Xxxx Xxxxxx pedestrian precinct will provide a distinctly different experience for pedestrians and motorists from Xxxxxxxx Street to Battery Place than that of Xxxxx 0X/Xxxx Xxxxxx xxxxx xx Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx. This will be accomplished by adherence to design principles outlined in this letter and implementation of different lighting, crosswalk, curb and planting strategies than practiced north of Xxxxxxxx Street. The Route 9A/West Street pedestrian precinct will strengthen the east west pedestrian connection across Xxxxx 0X/Xxxx Xxxxxx and better connect Xxxxxxx Xxxx Xxxx xxx xxx Xxxxxx Xxxxx Xxxx to their neighbors on the xxxx xxxx xx Xxxxx 0X/Xxxx Xxxxxx. As discussed below, many of these principles can be agreed to now. Others will require approval of the Federal Highway Administration and/or City and State agencies that can only be obtained as the design is progressed. This letter will indicate which strategies we can commit to at this time and the process for resolution of outstanding issues.

Statement of design intent

access to the Xxxxxx River Park and waterfront, strengthen the connection between the financial district and Battery Park City, support the redevelopment of Lower Manhattan, and support a vibrant multi-use community.

NYSDOT recognizes that the promenade must reflect the varied nature of the surrounding neighborhoods from the residential and recreational uses north of Xxxxxx Street, to the premium office building district from Xxxxxx to Liberty, the WTC Memorial, the quality residential properties in Battery Park City south of Liberty and the mixed used buildings south of Liberty on the east side of the promenade. NYSDOT, in conjunction with you and other stakeholders in Lower Manhattan, will address these distinctive environments through the following:

	•		Creation of high quality landscaping and green space, park and recreational spaces;

	•		Carefully designed and detailed urban open spaces;

	•		Thoughtful and context sensitive selection of materials; and

	•		Utilization of techniques such as lighting, curb treatments and pavement treatments to distinguish this section of Xxxxx 0X/Xxxx Xxxxxx from the segment to the north of Xxxxxxxx Street.

The intent is to provide continuity along the promenade while ensuring that individual urban spaces can have unique characteristics conforming to their surrounding environments. Such treatments would, for example, ensure that the urban design treatments used in front of Site 26 smoothly transition to the treatments used in front of the World Financial Center. Exhibit A discusses particular treatments that we will implement provided and to the extent we are able to obtain the requisite coordination and agreement of governmental and private stakeholders, which is outlined on Exhibit A and which we undertake to achieve.

Specific Agreements

1.		NYSDOT will issue a Right of Entry Agreement for the coordinated construction of Route 9A/West Street in front of Site 26 and the Xxxxxxx Sachs World Headquarters, substantially in the form of Exhibit B. The updated Logistics Plan referenced in the Agreement was submitted by Xxxxxxx Xxxxx on July 21, 2005 and is approved.

2.		Exhibit C provides the alignment and dimension of Xxxxx 0X/Xxxx Xxxxxx and serves as the base map for Exhibit C-l (Goldman drawings), which depicts Vesey and Xxxxxx Street dimensions and the Lay-By, and Exhibit D, which depicts the grading and limits of work. NYSDOT agrees that the streets, curbs, sidewalks, Lay-By, walkway, bikeway, landscape, traffic directions, parking restrictions and utility configurations as shown on the Goldman drawings are acceptable and approved, subject to minor modification (not necessary re-engineering) due to detailed development of construction documentation and as found conditions. To the extent that the depiction of the Lay-By, bikeway or walkway in Exhibit D is inconsistent with the depiction of Exhibit C-l, the latter shall control.

3.		NYSDOT will cooperate and coordinate with Xxxxxxx Xxxxx in the construction of the Lay-By in front of Site 26 substantially in conformance with the Lay-By schematic shown on Exhibit C-1.

4.		NYSDOT and Xxxxxxx Sachs have reached agreement on their respective limits of work within NYSDOT right of way in front of Site 26. Construction of sidewalks, bike path and other urban design elements from the western curb of the Lay-By to the building line at Site 26 will be accomplished by Xxxxxxx Xxxxx under a permit from NYSDOT which shall be reasonably acceptable to Xxxxxxx Sachs. Xxxxxxx Xxxxx has submitted a landscaping plan for approval by NYSDOT, BPCA, New York City and the Xxxxxx River Park Trust (HRPT). Concurrently with the delivery of this letter, NYSDOT, BPCA, New York City and HRPT have approved Xxxxxxx Xxxxx’ landscaping plan, except as set forth in Exhibit A. These facilities will be maintained by HRPT to HRPT standards. Xxxxxxx Sachs will not be responsible for maintenance costs on NYSDOT or HRPT right of way, except to the extent that Xxxxxxx Xxxxx requests maintenance to a higher standard.

		NYSDOT will advance necessary subsurface work (lightweight fill) in the area adjacent to Site 26, from the existing bulkhead east to the existing bikeway walkway. This work will be advanced on a schedule which ensures completion no later than November 1, 2005.

5.		NYSDOT will cooperate and coordinate with Xxxxxxx Sachs, BPCA, NYCDOT, New York Police Department, and New York Fire Department in the development of operational control standards for the Lay-By in front of Site 26 in order to provide security for the Site and to maintain the safety of the traveling public on Xxxxx 0X/Xxxx Xxxxxx. NYSDOT will issue a simple operating permit to Xxxxxxx Xxxxx to allow the closing of the Lay-By in emergencies in consultation with the State and City.

6.		NYSDOT will ensure in its design and construction of Xxxxx 0X/Xxxx Xxxxxx that the size of the median and pedestrian refuge area between Vesey and Xxxxxx Streets will not be narrower than that shown on Exhibit C, except as set forth in Exhibit A. NYSDOT, NYCDOT, BPCA and Xxxxxxx Sachs have agreed upon the configuration of Xxxxx Street as shown on Exhibit C-l. NYSDOT has consulted with Xxxxxxx Xxxxx on the issue of the design and direction of Xxxxxx Street at Site 26, presently planned to be two lanes in each direction both east and west of Xxxxx 0X/Xxxx Xxxxxx as well as the design of left turn lanes from Xxxxx 0X/Xxxx Xxxxxx to Xxxxxx Street as shown on Exhibit C and C-l.

7.		The FSEIS for Xxxxx 0X/Xxxx Xxxxxx in the vicinity of the WTC recommends studies of possible pedestrian bridges including one north of Xxxxx Street. NYSDOT’s needs and feasibility technical studies of possible locations at Vesey or Xxxxxx Street have determined that at-grade crossings are the recommended alternative at both Xxxxxx and Xxxxx Streets, therefore, further studies are unwarranted and will not be undertaken.

8.		NYSDOT and Xxxxxxx Sachs are in agreement on the setting of grades in front of Site 26 and in the NYSDOT right of way for Xxxxx 0X/Xxxx Xxxxxx between Vesey and Xxxxxx Streets. The agreed upon range of grades is set forth in Exhibit D.

9.		In preparing the FSEIS for Xxxxx 0X/Xxxx Xxxxxx in the vicinity of the WTC, NYSDOT contemplated a possible through street across Xxxxx 0X/Xxxx Xxxxxx xx Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, however, NYSDOT and NYCDOT have agreed to an operational traffic schematic that does not include that through street. Additionally, the agreed upon grades set forth in Exhibit D preclude construction of a safe and secure through street across Xxxxx 0X/Xxxx Xxxxxx xx Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, therefore, NYSDOT will not permit or fund the construction of a through street at that location.

10.		NYSDOT will cooperate and coordinate with Xxxxxxx Sachs in the development of design principles and standards for the promenade in front of Site 26. Xxxxxxx Xxxxx will work with the team of stakeholders to be convened by NYSDOT to ensure that materials, planting, urban design features, security features, maintenance standards, etc. for the promenade from Battery Park to Xxxxxxxx Street will be coordinated with the work in front of Site 26. Xxxxxxx Xxxxx, HRPT and NYSDOT have reached substantial agreement on the design of the plaza and landscape adjacent to the proposed Xxxxxxx Sachs building.

11.		The schedule for the removal of the Xxxxx Street Pedestrian Bridge across Xxxxx 0X/Xxxx Xxxxxx will be coordinated with Xxxxxxx Sachs and will be finalized as soon as construction staging documents for Xxxxx 0X/Xxxx Xxxxxx are completed but in any case, the Bridge will be removed no later than March 1, 2009.

I look forward to continued progress towards resolving any remaining issues.

Sincerely,

/s/ Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxxx

Exhibit A

LIGHTING:

	•		The relevant governmental agencies and stakeholders will consider use of newly approved NYCDOT fixture for 0X xxxxx xx Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx for the WTC/WFC precinct or, alternatively, the new light fixture proposed by the Downtown Alliance which has been installed on Broadway and at other locations in lower Manhattan.

	•		The relevant governmental agencies will consider use of different light-sources for Xxxxx 0X/Xxxx Xxxxxx fixtures south of Chambers, including replacing high-pressure sodium ballasts and lamps with metal halide sources. This is primarily a NYCDOT issue.

	•		If the Xxxxx 0X/Xxxx Xxxxxx fixture is continued as the standard, NYSDOT will work with Xxxxxxx Sachs on a mutually agreed upon plan for lighting in front of site 26.

TREES/LANDSCAPE PLAN:

BPCA, NYSDOT, HRPT, and NYCDOT have approved the landscape design plan submitted by Xxxxxxx Xxxxx, with the understanding that the final landscape design along Xxxxx Street will be consistent with the landscape design previously submitted, with the following exceptions:

Xxxxxxx Xxxxx shall be responsible for the installation, maintenance and replacement of any London Plane trees planted on the West Street side of Site 26. The London Plane trees proposed in Xxxxxxx Sachs’ landscape design are significantly taller, and have different maintenance requirements, than other trees in Xxxxxx River Park, and are a species not recommended by the Xxxxxx River Park Trust.

PAVEMENT/NOISE.

	•		NYSDOT shall investigate the use of paving materials or finishes for Xxxxx 0X/Xxxx Xxxxxx xxxxx xx Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx that will minimize road noise and improve pedestrian movements and safety.

	•		NYSDOT shall, in consultation relevant parties, including Xxxxxxx Sachs, consider the use of paving materials for sidewalks and crosswalks that meets or exceeds the standard proposed for the Promenade South project.

Required Utility Modifications
August 4, 2005

General

	•		Due to the congestion of utility infrastructure (electrical, telecom, steam, sanitary, storm, gas) on Xxxxx Street resulting from breadth of existing services serving the area, the proposed new services serving Site 26, the routing and physical arrangement of the existing services, the questionable accuracy of existing documentation, and the undocumented utility changes made subsequent to 9/11, it has been difficult at best to determine if, and how, services would be supplied to Site 26. These conditions may be potentially exacerbated by other subgrade penetrations such as tree pits, bollards, other security measures, etc.

	•		To improve stand-off, the existing curb on Xxxxx Street shall be extended to the south by 11 feet. All existing and new utility elements shall coordinate with these new curb dimensions.

	•		To improve stand-off, the existing curb on Xxxxxx Street shall be extended to the north by 8 feet. All existing and new utility elements shall coordinate with these new curb dimensions.

	•		Flexibility in use of tree pits and bollards, location of tree pits or bollards, or alternate solutions will be required to coordinate with utilities beneath sidewalks.

	•		The utility congestion and locations will preclude the use of security trenches such as “tiger traps” on the north side of Xxxxx Street, the north side of Xxxxxx Street and the south side of Xxxxxx Street and these measures will not be implemented.

	•		All utility infrastructure shall be coordinated between the various utilities and the Engineer designated by GS Headquarters and utilities shall be delivered to Site 26 as indicated below.

	•		Electrical utility point of entries shall be provided on both Xxxxx Street and Xxxxxx Street as indicated below.

	•		All work described herein shall be undertaken in consultation with GS Headquarters and the engineer designated by GS Headquarters.

Steam Utility Issues

•

All steam valves and expansion joints on the steam line serving Site 26 shall be inspected and repaired, as required, by ConEdison to prevent release of steam.

	•		Valve in steam vault to allow temporary boiler connection to serve Site 26 in event of steam failure shall be engineered and installed by ConEdison.

	•		BPCA shall install a service head valve for steam service to a point of entry location within the foundation wall as indicated on the drawings.

	•		Utility steam vault located on the mid-block of Xxxxx Street shall be removed and replaced by ConEdison with spool piece to coordinate with above grade elements (bollards, tree pits, etc.). The western steam vault shall remain and the curb bump-out near the pedestrian walkway shall coordinate with this steam vault.

	•		Locations and inverts for all existing steam lines routed below Xxxxx Street shall be identified and coordinate location and relocation of steam lines with all perpendicular utility crossings, including sanitary and stormwater pipes, serving Site 26. Any relocations shall be performed by BPCA.

	•		The steam line on West Street running below the center planting area shall be relocated west by ConEdison to the area below the bike path to coordinate with existing plantings and utilities. LMCCC will obtain a letter from ConEdison CEO Xxxx XxXxxxx confirming ConEdison’s agreement to pay for such relocation, and NYSDOT commits its best efforts to ensure ConEdison will perform such agreement.

Gas Utility Issues

	•		All unused gas lines in the Xxxxx Street sidewalk and in Site 26 shall be identified and disconnected and removed by ConEdison back to the gas supply main, unless directed otherwise by GS. Some of these gas lines are not documented or are not as indicated on the drawings, by ConEdison.

	•		BPCA shall install a service head valve for gas service to a point of entry location within the foundation wall as indicated on the drawings.

Telecom Issues

	•		All points of entry telecom conduits on Xxxxx Street and Xxxxxx Street shall be coordinated with new curb locations, utilities, bollards and tree pits, and installed within five feet of foundation wall as indicated on drawings.

	•		The Xxxxx Street XXX shall be served from manhole designation 000-000-0. Xxxxxx Street POEs shall be served from manhole designations 000-000-0 and 000-000-0, unless directed otherwise by GS.

Electrical Utility Issues

•

The following applies to all three XXX’x: BPCA will install high tension disconnects. BPCA will install conduit to within 5’ of foundation wall.

			Tenant will connect to such conduits and shall provide conduit to the splice chamber located within close proximity to the foundation wall. BPCA will install wiring from manhole to splice chamber.

	•		One (1) electrical point of entry shown on the Xxxxx Street western-most portion of site drawings shall remain to serve Site 26. This XXX consists of three conduits housing 1 or 2 feeders (quantity to be determined by Con Ed) from “Band A”.

	•		One (1) electrical point of entry previously shown on the Xxxxx Street center portion of site drawings shall be re-routed to allow new point of entry on Xxxxxx Street (to be coordinated and located with the Site 26 Engineer at a later date). This XXX consists of three conduits housing 1 or 2 feeders (quantity to be determined by Con Ed) from “Band B”.

	•		One (1) electrical point of entry previously shown on the Xxxxx Street eastern-most portion of site drawings shall be re-routed to allow new point of entry on Xxxxxx Street (to be coordinated and located with the Engineer designated by GS Headquarters at a later date). This XXX consists of three conduits housing 1 or 2 feeders (quantity to be determined by Con Ed) from “Band C”.

	•		Temporary power requirements for site 26 construction shall be capable of using one or all of the following: (A) permanent high-tension power feeders from the manhole to the foundation wall splice chamber to serve a temporary substation; (B) temporary high-tension power feeders pulled in the spare XXX conduit from the manhole to the foundation wall splice chamber to serve a temporary substation; (C) temporary low tension 480V feeders from the existing Embassy Suites vault to serve a temporary switchboard.

	•		All points of entry feeders into Site 26 on Xxxxx Street and Xxxxxx Street shall be coordinated with utilities and new curb locations and installed in locations as indicated on drawings (western-most XXX) and Xxxxxx Street entries coordinated with Engineer designated by GS Headquarters.

Storm, Sanitary, Water Issues

	•		The domestic and fire water mains located in Xxxxx Street and/or under the sidewalks shall be coordinated with new curb locations, utilities, bollards and tree pits, and coordinated with the Engineer designated by GS Headquarters. BPCA shall install piping from street mains to within five feet of the foundation wall on Xxxxx Street at location indicated on the drawings

	•		The domestic and fire water lines on Xxxxxx Street shall be coordinated with new curb locations, utilities, bollards, and tree pits to allow

			Installation into Site 26 as indicated on the drawings and coordinated with Engineer designated by GS Headquarters.

	•		The storm sewer and sanitary sewer mains and vaults in Xxxxx Street shall be coordinated with new curb locations, utilities, bollards and tree pits, and coordinated with the Engineer designated by GS Headquarters. BPCA shall install piping from street mains to within five feet of the foundation wall on Xxxxx Street at location and elevation indicated on the drawings. Any installation of stormwater manholes required to tie-in the piping to the street mains shall be engineered and installed by BPCA.

	•		The storm water and sanitary water mains and vaults in Xxxxxx Street shall be coordinated with all utilities and new curb locations to allow installation into Site 26 as indicated on drawings and coordinated with the Site 26 Engineer.

	•		Due to discrepancy in drawings provided for Xxxxxx Street, the size of the storm sewer main on Xxxxxx Street that will be tied into from Site 26 shall be confirmed to be minimum 24 inches to coordinate with Site 26 storm line. If such storm sewer main is less than 24 inches, BPCA shall install new storm sewer mains to accommodate the present design.

WHEREAS, the Permittee wishes to use and occupy, on an exclusive basis, an upland portion of said property, as more particularly described and defined below, between Xxxxxx and Xxxxx Streets adjacent to Site 26 in Battery Park City, for the purpose of maintaining a storage and mobilization yard in connection with construction work it is undertaking for a world headquarters development at Site 26 in Battery Park City.

NOW, THEREFORE, the Trust grants this permit to the Permittee, subject to the following covenants and conditions:

Premises: Approximately 18,400 sq. ft. east of the park area west of Route 9A between Xxxxxx and Xxxxx Streets as indicated on attached Exhibit 1, all of which is within and forms a part of the Xxxxxx River Park, within the County and State of New York (the “Premises”).

Purpose and Use:

	a.		Permittee shall have the exclusive right to enter upon, occupy and use the Premises as set forth above. Permittee’s occupancy and use of such areas shall be for the purpose of maintaining a storage and mobilization yard for Permittee’s contractors and subcontractors and a construction staging area (including for the delivery of construction materials and the staging of heavy equipment) in connection with the development and construction of an office building at Site 26 in Battery Park City.

Re: World Trade Center Site and Environs Security Plan

Dear Xx. Xxxxx:

The World Trade Center Redevelopment Agreement, dated November 24, 2004 between the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey and the City of New York, among other items, provides that the Port Authority and the City will develop a mutually acceptable Security Plan for the World Trade Center (WTC) Site. (That agreement is attached hereto as Attachment A.)

On May 12, 2005, Governor Xxxxxx Xxxxxx called upon Mr. Xxxx Xxxxxx, Secretary to the Governor, to coordinate the Lower Manhattan Redevelopment effort. As his Senior Advisor for Counter-Terrorism, I was identified by the Governor to coordinate the security interests and activities of the various public sector and private entities that are participants in the redevelopment of Lower Manhattan. Part of that task has been to develop the necessary security protocols with the City of New York, and specifically, the New York City Police Department as a principal stakeholder in this effort.

To develop these protocols, we are in the process of acquiring the services of a Security Consultant to prepare and assist in the implementation of a Site-Wide World Trade Center All Hazards and Risks Master Security Plan and Standards, with a Concept of Operations, Operational Procedures, and Functional Requirements (the “Plan”). The Plan will encompass and coordinate all aspects and components of security for the WTC Site, related entities and proximal environs, from security design, through construction and completion, to occupancy, and operations. It will identify all security components that will impact the redevelopment of the WTC Site and recommend long-term security measures and procedures that will be integrated with the proximal environs, and Lower Manhattan. In developing the Plan, the Consultant will be collaborating with the various agencies and other public and private stakeholders performing the design and

PRINTED ON RECYCLED PAPER

construction for the WTC Site to ensure the full integration of proposed security measures with these efforts, however, the Security Consultant is not being tasked to modify the design or structural elements of the buildings or the WTC Site. A security strategy, and security measures with technical, physical, operational, and functional requirements necessary to implement the recommended strategy and measures throughout the affected area, will be included in the Plan. It will address mitigations that provide appropriate levels of protection against all hazards and risks. It is the intention of the State to seek an allocation of appropriate funds to ensure the implementation of the final, approved Plan.

Further, it is the State’s expectation that, given the history of the WTC Site, possessing as it does security concerns unlike any other location in the United States and representing a fulcrum of national remembrance, pride and resolve, that there will be a Federal commitment to the security of the WTC Site. This will be manifest in the providing of direct support as necessary, as well as intelligence information in a relevant and timely fashion. While this additional Federal support will be an important benefit to our efforts, nevertheless, the State agrees that any inability ultimately to attain such support will not affect the State’s commitments as set forth herein.

As stated above, and as its title clearly indicates, the Plan will encompass the full range of protective systems components, equipment, staffing, construction and operational procedures. The Plan will take into account the interdependencies of the entities involved in the WTC Site redevelopment and the proximal environs and include input form all stakeholders.

Security-related pedestrian and vehicle traffic management pertaining to the WTC Site will be accomplished pursuant to the above-referenced World Trade Center Redevelopment Agreement.

The incident management and response plans that emerge will be fully coordinated with the City of New York, LMDC, the Port Authority (including the Port Authority Police Department and PATH), LMCCC, the New York City Police and Fire Departments, the New York State and New York City Departments of Transportation, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority/New York City Transit (MTA/NYCT), the affiliates of Xxxxxxxxxxx Properties Inc., WTC Retail LLC, the WTC Trade Center Memorial Foundation, and other stakeholders in the environs and mesh with all appropriate response protocols. Such plans will give due attention to maintaining and/or re-establishing viable access for the conduct of stakeholders’ business in the environs as appropriate. Command and control will be facilitated at a security operations center that includes participation in, and two-way communication with the relevant stakeholders.

The best available effective technologies will be selected to support the full range of security access, surveillance, detection, communications, intelligence and other security systems.

The State of New York, the City of New York, the Port Authority, the Metropolitan Transit Authority and the New York City Police Department are closely cooperating in the development of the Plan. Such cooperation ensures that the Plan will be fully inclusive of the security concerns within the area. As the Plan develops, these concerns will be

considered prior to the implementation of the agreed security protocols that will be derived from the Plan. We fully recognize that multiple stakeholders in Lower Manhattan have vested interests in the security methods that will result from this effort, and we are committed to having those stakeholders participate and have a significant and meaningful role in interactive working groups that contribute to the development of the Plan. That same process will continue throughout the Plan’s implementation, and provide for continued information sharing and consultation and ongoing evaluation of the Plan’s implementation and effectiveness and proposed modifications to the Plan.

You are requested to identify one or more appropriate individual(s) of your organization who will be available to participate fully throughout this process which will include participation as indicated in the below timeline and milestone sequence. The following timeline will commence with the transmittal of a Notice to Proceed to the selected consultant, currently anticipated to occur on or about August 17, 2005. The timeline will start from this date as follows:


	1)		The formation of a Working Group to meet with the Lower Manhattan Counter-Terrorism Advisory Team as it interacts with the selected consultant.

	2)		To participate in the review of the consultant’s environs recommendations concerning the operational procedures to be implemented as they become available.

	3)		One hundred days after the Security Consultant initiates its work, participate in the review of the submitted Conceptual Options draft of the Plan.

	4)		One hundred eighty days after the Security Consultant initiates its work, participate in the review of the submitted Preferred Alternative draft of the Plan.

	5)		Two hundred and forty days after the Security Consultant initiates its work, participate in the review of the submitted Final Version of the Plan.

	6)		Thereafter, participate in the substantial implementation of the Plan and the operational procedures and protocols for its implementation, which will be phased in over an indefinite period. As the Plan and stages of work to be defined in the body of work are developed and implemented, all stages to be completed by December 31, 2009, will be completed by December 31, 2009.

Your participation will commence with a meeting to be held on the afternoon of August 3, 2005 to begin the vendor selection process. Your representatives’ full participation in the activities described in the above milestones is expected to be only a portion of such individuals’ broader and more comprehensive involvement in many aspects of the development, implementation and ongoing evaluation and modification of the Plan.

As you and selected members of your team are aware from prior briefings, the Freedom Tower will be constructed to very high standards. The standards to which the Freedom Tower will be built were set forth in detail at a briefing provided to you by the State and attended by the New York City Police Department on June 28, 2005. In addition, these standards are consistent with recommendations of the “Freedom Tower Security Assessment & Recommendations,” dated April 8, 2005, issued by the New York City Police Department, which detailed the design threat for vehicular-borne attack. All other buildings on the Site will be constructed to the high standards discussed.

In summary, both the State and City of New York are synchronized and committed to establishing and implementing, in concert with the other involved public and private stakeholders, security standards, plans and operations for the WTC Site and proximal environs in the manner described above. We look forward to your active participation in this process.


			Sincerely,


			Xxxxx X. Xxxxxxxxx

The City agrees to consult with the Port Authority, LMDC or the designee and any affected Xxxxxxxxxxx Net Lessee, Retail Net Lessee or any WTC Hotel lessee or operator on any decisions that will permanently and materially affect vehicular and pedestrian traffic in and through the WTC Site. The City will promptly review and process all requests for street closing permits from the Port Authority, LMDC or its designee, the Xxxxxxxxxxx Net Lessees, the Retail Net Lessee and any WTC Hotel lessee or operator, required to facilitate the construction and/or maintenance of all at-grade and below-grade infrastructure at the WTC Site. Notwithstanding the foregoing the parties have agreed to certain street widths and street grades as stated in the WTC Design and Site Plan Agreement and set forth on Appendix C.

Article Two – subparagraph (g) – The parties recognize that if the Security Plan closes any additional streets within or adjacent to the WTC Site to vehicular traffic, that traffic flows throughout lower Manhattan will be affected. Accordingly, the parties agree that if any such streets are closed to vehicular traffic for security purposes, the parties will revisit the traffic flow patterns on the other streets in and adjacent to the WTC Site to insure a proper flow of vehicular traffic in and through the WTC Site.

Article Five – subparagraph (a) – Security at the WTC Site shall be governed by an agreed-upon security plan acceptable to the City and the Port Authority (the “Security Plan”). When adopted, the Security Plan will supersede any existing Memoranda of Understanding between the City and the Port Authority addressing security issues, but only as to the WTC Site. Insofar as possible, consistent with security needs, the Security Plan shall seek to ensure that heightened security measures do not result in undue impacts on the WTC Site or the immediate surroundings. The City and the Port Authority agree to consult with LMDC or its designee, the Xxxxxxxxxxx Net Lessees, the Retail Net Lessee and the WTC Hotel owner or operator in the adoption of the Security Plan.

Dear Xx. Xxxxx:

As you know from our previous discussions, the NYPD is committed to the development and implementation of a comprehensive security plan for Lower Manhattan.

Our security plan for Lower Manhattan will address a wide range of issues, including optimal command, control and communication, street and traffic management and other operational issues, area wide security monitoring and the use of technology.

The Port Authority is also working on the development of a security plan for the World Trade Center site. The NYPD is working with the Port Authority and other State agencies to ensure that this effort is seamlessly integrated into the overall Lower Manhattan security plan.

We recognize that Xxxxxxx Xxxxx, as well as other relevant stakeholders, should be included in this process. In fact, the security plan will be based on the outline of such a plan already shared with Xxxxxxx Sachs. We also invite Xxxxxxx Xxxxx to provide a liaison that would be available for all security planning work.

One component of the plan will be a centralized coordination center that will provide space for full-time, on site representation from Xxxxxxx Sachs and other stakeholders. This will ensure maximum communication and coordination in case of any event.

We look forward to discussing this further.


		Sincerely,

		Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxx

You have requested permission for access by you, your affiliates and your contractors and agents to Site 26 in Battery Park City (the “Premises”) prior to the execution of a ground lease (the “Lease”) for the Premises with Battery Park City Authority (“BPCA”) for the purpose of performing the work described below (the “Work”) in connection with a proposed new headquarters and trading facility to be constructed by you. BPCA agrees to permit such access, subject to the following conditions:

The term of your access to the Premises pursuant to this Letter Agreement shall commence upon such date as you may specify by written notice to BPCA (such date, the “Access Commencement Date”) and shall expire upon the earliest to occur of (a) the expiration or earlier termination of the letter agreement, dated as of September 7, 2004, between you and BPCA (as amended and reinstated by the Designation Letter Reinstatement and Amendment, of even date herewith, between you and BPCA, the “Designation Letter”), (b) the effective date of the Lease between you and BPCA in respect of the Premises (in which case your right of access shall be governed by said Lease), and (c) your termination of your right of access pursuant to this Letter Agreement, which you may elect at any time on written notice to BPCA (such earliest date, the “Access Termination Date”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, you shall coordinate the Work in a manner that permits BPCA to have unrestricted access to complete any remediation work you have required it to perform.

	1.

	2.		You shall not be required to pay BPCA any rent or other occupancy or use fees in connection with your access under this Letter Agreement unless you and BPCA shall not have executed and delivered the Lease on or before the 60th calendar day following the Access Commencement Date (such day, the “Fee Commencement Date”) and the Access Termination Date shall have not occurred. In no event shall the Fee Commencement Date occur later than December 1, 2005. With respect to the period from the Fee Commencement Date through the Access Termination Date, you shall pay BPCA a fee of $110,000 per month (prorated on a per diem basis, based on the actual number of days in the month in question). Such fee shall be payable on or before the fifth business day following the Fee Commencement Date (prorated as appropriate) and on the fifth business day of each succeeding month. Any overpayment as of the Access Termination

			Date shall be refunded to you within five business days.

	3.		You shall have delivered to BPCA prior to the Access Commencement Date a clean, unconditional and irrevocable letter of credit in the form previously delivered to BPCA (the “Letter of Credit”) in the amount of Four Million Dollars ($4,000,000) to secure your faithful performance, observance and compliance with the terms, provisions, covenants, conditions and requirements of this Letter Agreement, and such Letter of Credit shall remain in effect for the Work described in paragraph 4 below.

	4.		The Work may include the following:

	a.		Mobilizing Site Security
	b.		Mobilizing Trailers
	c.		Pre-construction Survey
	d.		Ground Penetration Radar
	e.		Trenching to locate Xxxxxx River Bulkhead

	p.		Sidewalk Signage Relocation
	q.		Excavation to Site 26 elevation +2 feet and installation of sheeting and shoring around the perimeter of the Premises
	r.		Caisson Work

	5.		You shall perform the Work at your sole cost and expense and in compliance with all applicable laws. BPCA agrees that the workdays and hours and other work rules set forth on Exhibit A hereto are acceptable and have been approved by BPCA for the conduct of the Work.

	6.		At your sole cost and expense, upon the Access Termination Date (unless the same occurs by reason of clause (b) of the definition thereof), you shall promptly remove any equipment, fencing, sidewalk bridges or other materials placed on the Premises by you or your agents and repair any damage caused to the Premises by you or your agents, including replacing removed fill or paving. Such repair work shall be considered as part of the Work and BPCA shall permit you to have access to the Premises to perform such repairs and remove such equipment and materials. For the avoidance of doubt, you shall not be required, either pursuant to this paragraph 6 or pursuant to paragraph 7 below, to restore or repair any condition caused by BPCA, its agents or contractors or any BPCA tenant or subtenant or to indemnify BPCA or any such tenant or subtenant for the

			costs of any such restoration or repair, whether or not the such condition was created in anticipation of the Work or your activities at the Premises.

	7.		You shall deliver to BPCA on or prior to the Access Commencement Date evidence that you maintain in effect, at your own expense, insurance policies as required in Section 11.03 of the most recent BPCA draft of the Lease which was dated February 18, 2005. You shall also indemnify and hold harmless BPCA from and against all claims, judgment, liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements and including any loss of value to the Premises, paid, suffered or incurred by BPCA (a) as a result of or in connection with the Work or the presence of you, your employees, agents or contractors at the Premises or (b) in enforcing this indemnity or any other provision of this Letter Agreement. This indemnity and hold harmless shall not apply to any claims, judgment, liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, costs and expenses which arise out of hazardous or toxic waste existing on the Premises prior to the Access Commencement Date.

	8.		Your access to the existing pedestrian plaza at the western side of Site 26 shall be coordinated with Forest City Xxxxxx Companies, representative of BPCA’s tenant on Site 25. If you desire that movable outdoor retail seating on the plaza be removed, you shall give 10 calendar days prior written notice to BPCA. This Letter Agreement does not permit access to property adjacent to the Premises under the control of Xxxxxx River Park Trust or NYS Department of Transportation, which you shall separately arrange if you find the same necessary or appropriate. This letter is intended to permit access to sidewalk areas adjacent to the Premises that are under the control of BPCA to conduct the Work.

	9.		You acknowledge that you have no legal or equitable rights with respect to the Premises except as may be provided in the Designation Letter or as expressly provided herein.

	10.		This Letter Agreement may be signed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

Please indicate your acceptance to the foregoing terms by signing below.

Re: Landscape Design for Site 26 (“the Project”) Battery Park City, New York

Dear Timur:

We have received, reviewed and approved Xxxxxxx Sachs’ landscape design as contained in the Xxxxxxx Xxxxx’ Design Development Submission of February 11, 2005, for the Project. This approval provides for future potential revisions to aspects of the design including the interface of bicyclists and pedestrians at the corner of Xxxxx Street and West Street. This approval is given with the understanding that Xxxxxxx Xxxxx shall be responsible for the installation, maintenance and replacement of any London Plane trees planted on the West Street side of Site 26.

All parties recognize that the issue and location of bollards is being addressed in a separate document attached to this proposal.

Dear Timur:

The landscape drawings dated January 27, 2005 and submitted yesterday by Xxxx Xxxxx of the Governor’s office are conceptually approved. We understand that you will submit detailed drawings at a later date for our review. As that time, we would expect you to address the following issues:

Plans should be dimensioned and labeled, particularly sidewalks and entrances so conflicts can be noted.

Street trees should be identified.

Shrub planting bands should be identified and explained.

Paving stone should be identified. Please bear in mind that non-standard pavement must be approved by DOT and the Art Commission. DOT’s requirements will include a maintenance agreement. We have a basic agreement with DOT and the Art Commission about certain materials. Stone paving is not included in that agreement.

The standard Battery Park City tree pit has a minimum width of 5’ and a depth of 5’. The maximum width of the tree pit on the drawings is 4’2-1/2” and is encroached upon by the bollard footings. The footings appear to have a 4’ depth and are continuous. The depth of the tree pit appears to be only 3’.

The bollard spacing must meet minimum ADA requirements. Bollards should not be located within the handicapped ramps.

Will standard BPC b-poles be used for lighting? If not, what is proposed instead?

(b) The Escrow Agent may act in reliance upon any instrument or signature believed by it to be genuine and may assume that any person purporting to give notice or receipt or advice or make any statement or execute any document in connection with the provisions hereof has been duly authorized to do so.

Exhibit N-4

(c) The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any error of judgment or for any act done or step taken or omitted by it in good faith or for any mistake of fact or law or for any thing which it may do or refrain from doing in connection herewith, except due to the Escrow Agent’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall the Escrow Agent be liable for special, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits), even if the Escrow Agent has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action, except if such loss was due to the Escrow Agent’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

As between Landlord and the City, on the one hand, and Tenant on the other hand, each shall be obligated to indemnify the other for any amounts paid or realized upon by Escrow Agent as a result of the wrongful act or omission of the other.

Tenant shall be responsible for all such reimbursements to the Escrow Agent under the provisions of this Section 3.3 upon the written request of the Escrow Agent.

Section 3.4 Successor Escrow Agent.

Section 3.5 Allocation of Escrow Amounts. The parties hereto (other than Escrow Agent) agree that if Escrow Agent shall at any time exercise its right of set-off under Section 3.1(h) or otherwise, then the balance of the Escrow Fund after such set-off shall be re-allocated between the Ground Lease Payments Escrow and the Sales Tax Escrow based upon the relative percentages of the Escrow Amount representing the Ground Lease Payment Escrow and the Sales Tax Escrow immediately prior to such set-off. If it is determined that a party hereto is liable to any other party hereto for the amount so set-off by the Escrow Agent, then such amount shall be deposited by such party into the Escrow Fund with interest at the rate provided for in Section 1.3, and such amount and interest shall be allocated between the Ground Lease Payment Escrow and the Sales Tax Escrow based on the same percentages employed in the immediately preceding sentence (regardless whether such relative percentages may have subsequently changed).

Exhibit N-11

Section 4.12 Account Opening Information/TINs.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT PROCEDURES FOR OPENING A NEW ACCOUNT

For accounts opened in the US:

To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person who opens an account. When an account is opened, we will ask for information that will allow us to identify relevant parties.

Upon execution of this Agreement, the Tenant and Landlord shall provide the Escrow Agent with a fully executed W-8 or W-9 IRS form, which shall include the Tenant and Landlord’s tax identification number. In addition, all interest or other income earned under the Escrow Agreement shall be allocated and/or paid pursuant to Section 1.3 hereof and reported by the recipient to the Internal Revenue Service or any other taxing authority. Notwithstanding such written directions, Escrow Agent shall report and, as required withhold any taxes as it determines may be required by any law or regulation in effect at the time of the distribution. In the absence of timely direction, all proceeds of the Escrow Amount shall be retained in the Escrow Fund and reinvested from time to time by the Escrow Agent as provided in Section 3. In the event that any earnings remain undistributed at the end of any calendar year, Escrow Agent shall report to the Internal Revenue Service or such other authority such earnings as it deems appropriate or as required by any applicable law or regulation or, to the extent consistent therewith, as directed in writing by the Landlord and Tenant. In addition, after consultation with the party on whose behalf taxes are to be withheld, Escrow Agent shall withhold any taxes it reasonably deems appropriate and shall remit such taxes to the appropriate authorities.

Section 4.14 Security Procedures. In the event funds transfer instructions are given (other than in writing at the time of execution of this Escrow Agreement, as indicated in Schedule 1 attached hereto), whether in writing, by telecopier or otherwise, the Escrow Agent is authorized to seek confirmation of such instructions by telephone call-back to the person or persons designated on Schedule 1 hereto (“Schedule 1”), and the Escrow Agent may rely upon the confirmation of anyone purporting to be the person or persons so designated. The persons and telephone numbers for call-backs may be changed only in a writing actually received and acknowledged by the Escrow Agent. If the Escrow Agent is unable to contact any of the authorized representatives identified in Schedule 1, the Escrow Agent is hereby authorized to seek confirmation of such instructions by telephone call-back to any one or more of your executive officers,

Exhibit N-12

(“Executive Officers”), as the Escrow Agent may select. Such “Executive Officer” shall deliver to the Escrow Agent a fully executed Incumbency Certificate, and the Escrow Agent may rely upon the confirmation of anyone purporting to be any such officer. The Escrow Agent and the recipient’s bank in any funds transfer may rely solely upon any account numbers or similar identifying numbers provided by the recipient to identify (i) the recipient, (ii) the recipient’s bank, or (iii) an intermediary bank. The Escrow Agent may apply any of the escrowed funds for any payment order it executes using any such identifying number, even when its use may result in a person other than the intended recipient being paid, or the transfer of funds to a bank other than the intended recipient ‘s bank or an intermediary bank designated. The parties to this Escrow Agreement acknowledge that these security procedures are commercially reasonable. All person(s) designated to give funds transfer instructions to the Escrow Agent are indicated in Schedule 1 hereof. This schedule may be amended from time to time by written notice to the Escrow Agent from the applicable party.

Exhibit N-13
