9. | ROFO Option. |
9.1. Subject to the terms hereinafter provided, Landlord shall not lease to any individual or entity other than Tenant or Landlord’s affiliate the premises located on (i) the entire twenty-seventh (27th) floor of the Building and more particularly shown on the floor plan annexed hereto as Exhibit E-1 (the “27th Floor Option Space”); and (ii) the entire thirty-second (32nd) floor of the Building and more particularly shown on the floor plan annexed hereto as Exhibit E-2 (the “32nd Floor Option Space”) at any time during the Term of the Lease, without first instituting the procedure described in, and subject to the limitations set forth in, this Section 9.
9.2. Landlord shall institute the procedure described in this Section 9 by giving notice thereof (the “Option Notice”) to Tenant, which Option Notice shall (i) describe the 27th Floor Option Space and/or the 32nd Floor Option Space (as applicable) (the 27th Floor Option Space and/or the 32nd Floor Option Space that is described in a particular Option Notice being referred to herein as the “Applicable Option Space”), (ii) have attached thereto a floor plan depicting the Applicable Option Space, (iii) set forth the date that Landlord reasonably expects that the Applicable Option Space will be vacant and available for Tenant’s occupancy (such date designated by Landlord being referred to herein as the “Scheduled Option Space Commencement Date”), and (iv) set forth Landlord’s calculation of the number of square feet of rentable area in the Applicable Option Space.
9.3. Tenant shall have the option (the “ROFO Option”) to lease the Applicable Option Space for a term commencing on the Option Space Commencement Date (as hereinafter defined) and expiring on the Extended Term Expiration Date by giving notice thereof (the “Option Response Notice”) to Landlord not later than the thirtieth (30th) day after the date that Landlord gives the Option Notice to Tenant. Time shall be of the essence as to the date by which Tenant must give the Option Response Notice to Landlord to exercise the ROFO Option. If Tenant does not give the Option Response Notice to Landlord on or prior to the thirtieth (30th) day after the date that Landlord gives the Option Notice to Tenant, then Landlord shall thereafter have the right to lease the Applicable Option Space (or any part thereof) to any other person or entity on terms acceptable to Landlord in Landlord’s sole discretion without being required to make any other offer to Tenant regarding the Applicable Option Space under this Section 9 (and, accordingly, such Applicable Option Space shall not thereafter constitute the 27th Floor Option Space or the 32nd Floor Option Space, as applicable). Tenant shall not have the right to revoke an Option Response Notice given to Landlord pursuant to this Section 9.3.
9.4. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 9:
7
(a) Tenant shall not have the right to exercise the ROFO Option (and, accordingly (x) Landlord shall have no obligation to give an Option Notice to Tenant, and (y) Landlord shall have the right to lease the Applicable Option Space to any other person or entity without first offering the Applicable Option Space to Tenant as contemplated by this Section 9) if, on the date that Landlord offers the Applicable Space for lease to the general public, Tenant does not Occupy (as hereinafter defined) at least sixty-six percent (66%) the entire demised premises (such occupancy requirement, the “Minimum Occupancy Requirement”). For purposes of this Amendment, Tenant shall be deemed to “Occupy” a portion of the Premises if Tenant has not subleased such portion of the Premises.
(b) Tenant shall not have the right to exercise the ROFO Option prior to Landlord’s leasing the 27th Floor Option Space and/or the 32nd Floor Option Space (as applicable) to any individual or entity that then occupies the 27th Floor Option Space and/or the 32nd Floor Option Space (as applicable) (or such portion thereof) (regardless of whether such leasing is pursuant to an option or right contained in such individual or entity’s lease), and, accordingly, (I) Landlord shall have no obligation to give an Option Notice to Tenant with respect to the 27th Floor Option Space and/or the 32nd Floor Option Space (as applicable), and (II) Landlord shall have the right to lease the 27th Floor Option Space and/or the 32nd Floor Option Space (as applicable) (or such portion thereof) to any such individual or entity without first offering the 27th Floor Option Space and/or the 32nd Floor Option Space (as applicable) (or the applicable portion thereof) to Tenant as contemplated by this Section 9. The following is a list of the current occupants of the 27th Floor Option Space and the 32nd Floor Option Space and the current expiration dates of such occupants’ existing leases or occupancy agreements: (i) 27th Floor Option Space: Xxxxxx Ferrarra: April 30, 2026, and (ii) 32nd Floor Option Space: Visiting Nurse Service: December 31, 2018 (subject to tenant renewal rights and an early termination right effective as of August 1, 2015).
(c) Tenant’s exercise of the ROFO Option shall be ineffective if, on the date that Tenant gives the Option Response Notice, Tenant shall be in default under the Lease or this Amendment beyond the expiration of any applicable notice and cure period. If (I) Tenant exercises the ROFO Option, and (II) at any time prior to the applicable Option Space Commencement Date, Tenant shall be in default under the Lease or this Amendment beyond the expiration of any applicable notice and cure period, the Minimum Occupancy Requirement is not satisfied, then, at any time prior to the applicable Option Space Commencement Date, Landlord shall have the right to declare Tenant’s exercise of the ROFO Option ineffective by giving notice thereof to Tenant, in which case Landlord shall have the right to lease the Applicable Option Space (or any portion thereof) to any other individual or entity on terms acceptable to Landlord in Landlord’s sole discretion.
(d) Tenant shall not have the right to exercise the ROFO Option from and after the Option Cutoff Date (as hereinafter defined), and, accordingly, from and after the Option Cutoff Date, (I) Landlord shall have no obligation to give an Option Notice to Tenant with respect to the 27th Floor Option Space and/or the 32nd Floor Option Space, and (II) Landlord shall have the right to lease the 27th Floor Option Space and/or the 32nd Floor Option Space to any other individual or entity without first offering such 27th Floor Option Space and/or the 32nd Floor Option Space to Tenant as contemplated by this Section 9. The term “Option Cutoff Date” shall mean (x) if Tenant shall have not exercised the Renewal Option (as hereinafter defined), the date that is three (3) years before the Extended Term Expiration Date, provided, however, that Tenant shall nevertheless have the right to exercise the ROFO Option in the three (3) years before the Extended Term Expiration Date if, simultaneous with exercising the ROFO Option, Tenant shall also give the Renewal Notice, and (y) if Tenant shall have exercised the Renewal Option, the date that is three (3) years before the expiration of the Renewal Term (as hereinafter defined).
(e) Tenant’s right to lease the 27th Floor Option Space and/or the 32nd Floor Option Space as set forth in this Section 9 shall be subject to any rights thereto that have been granted on or prior to the date hereof to other tenants of the Building. Except as provided in Section 9.4(b), no rights have
8
been granted on or prior to the date hereof to other tenants of the Building with respect to the 27th Floor Option Space and the 32nd Floor Option Space.
(f) Subject to the terms of this Section 9.4(f), any Option Response Notice that Tenant gives to Landlord shall not be effective for purposes hereof (and shall be of no force or effect) unless Tenant includes therewith an increase in the Security Letter (such increase known as the “Applicable Option Space Security”) by an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying (I) the monthly per-square-foot fixed annual rent that is then payable hereunder for the balance of the demised premises, by (II) the number of square feet of rentable area comprising the Applicable Option Space. Landlord, by (III) eight (8), subject to adjustment as provided in Section 9.5(g).
9.5. If Tenant exercises the ROFO Option in accordance with the provisions of this Section 9, then, on the Option Space Commencement Date for the Applicable Option Space, the following provisions shall become effective:
(a) The Applicable Option Space shall be added to the demised premises for purposes of the Lease (except as otherwise provided in this Section 9.5).
(b) The term of the Lease with respect to the Applicable Option Space shall be coterminous with the term of the Lease with respect to the balance of the Premises;
(c) The Applicable Option Space may only be used for the uses permitted under the Lease.
(d) Landlord shall not be obligated to perform any work or make any installations in the Applicable Option Space or grant Tenant a work allowance therefor.
(e) The fixed annual rent for the Applicable Option Space shall be the Rental Value (as hereinafter defined) thereof.
(f) Tenant shall make a separate Tenant’s Tax Payment, Expense Payment, Insurance Expense Payment and Energy Expense Payment with respect to the Applicable Option Space pursuant to the Lease, except that the Tenant’s Tax Share and the Tenant’s Share for the Applicable Option Space shall be equitably determined based upon the rentable square footage of the Applicable Option Space and the Base Tax shall be determined based upon the Tax Year in which shall occur the Option Space Commencement Date and the Base Year shall be the calendar year in which shall occur the Option Space Commencement Date.
(g) The Applicable Option Space Security to be held by Landlord (and, if applicable, any reductions thereof to occur during the Term), shall be determined as part of the determination of the Fair Market Rent in accordance with the terms of Section 12 hereof. Notwithstanding the payment made by Tenant pursuant Section 9.4(f) hereof, within ten (10) Business Days after the date that the parties determine the Fair Market Rent (as hereinafter defined) for the Applicable Option Space in accordance with the terms of Section 12 hereof, the payment made by Tenant pursuant to Section 9.4(f) hereof shall be adjusted to reflect such determination.
9.6. Landlord shall deliver vacant and exclusive possession of the Applicable Option Space to Tenant on the Scheduled Option Space Commencement Date; provided, however, that (x) if an individual or entity remains in occupancy of the Applicable Option Space (or any portion thereof) on the Scheduled Option Space Commencement Date, then Landlord, at Landlord’s expense, shall use reasonable diligence to cause vacant and exclusive possession of such space to be delivered to Tenant as promptly as
9
reasonably practicable thereafter (the Scheduled Option Space Commencement Date, or such later date on which Landlord delivers vacant and exclusive possession of the Applicable Option Space to Tenant as contemplated by this Section 9.6, being referred to herein as the “Option Space Commencement Date”), and (y) if such individual’s or entity’s right to remain in occupancy of the Applicable Option Space (or a portion thereof) terminates prior to the Scheduled Option Space Commencement Date, then Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant (except as otherwise set forth in clause (x) above), and Tenant shall have no right to terminate or rescind the Lease or Tenant’s exercise of the ROFO Option or reduce the fixed annual rent, in each case deriving from Landlord’s failure to deliver vacant and exclusive possession of the Applicable Option Space to Tenant on the Scheduled Option Space Commencement Date. Landlord and Tenant intend that this Section 9.6 constitutes an “express provision to the contrary” for purposes of Section 223-a of the New York Real Property Law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that (x) the Option Space Commencement Date fails to occur within one hundred eighty (180) days of the Scheduled Option Space Commencement Date, the fixed annual rent allocable to the Applicable Option Space shall be abated one and one-half (1 1⁄2) days for every day that the Option Space Commencement Date fails to occur following such one hundred eightieth (180th) day.
10. | Renewal Option. |
10.1. Subject to the terms of this Section 10, Tenant shall have the option (the “Renewal Option”) to extend the term of the Lease for the entire demised premises for one (1) additional period of five (5) years (the “Renewal Term”), which Renewal Term shall commence on the day immediately succeeding the Extended Term Expiration Date and end on the day that is five (5) years after the Extended Term Expiration Date, provided that (a) the Lease has not been previously terminated as of the date that Tenant gives Landlord notice (the “Renewal Notice”) of Tenant’s election to exercise the Renewal Option, (b) no default beyond the expiration of any applicable notice and cure period has occurred and is continuing on the date that Tenant gives Landlord the Renewal Notice, and (c) the Minimum Occupancy Requirement is satisfied on the date that Tenant gives the Renewal Notice to Landlord.
10.2. The Renewal Option shall be exercisable only by Tenant’s delivering the Renewal Notice to Landlord not later than the date which is twelve (12) months prior the Extended Term Expiration Date (as to which date time shall be of the essence) and no earlier than the date which is fifteen (15) months prior to the Extended Term Expiration Date. Landlord shall have the right to declare Tenant’s exercise of the Renewal Option ineffective if (a) Tenant is in default beyond the expiration of any applicable notice and cure period as of the Extended Term Expiration Date, or (b) the Minimum Occupancy Requirement is not satisfied as of the Extended Term Expiration Date, in either case by giving notice thereof to Tenant during the period commencing on the Extended Term Expiration Date and ending on the date that is thirty (30) days after the Extended Term Expiration Date (it being understood that (x) if Landlord so declares Tenant’s exercise of the Renewal Option ineffective, then the Term shall terminate on the sixtieth (60th) day after the date that Landlord gives Tenant notice of such declaration (in which case Tenant shall pay the fixed annual rent due hereunder in respect of the Renewal Term to the extent accruing during the period commencing on the first day of the Renewal Term and ending on the date that the Term so terminates), and (y) nothing contained in this Section 10.2 limits Landlord’s other rights or remedies after the occurrence of a default under the Lease).
10.3. If Tenant exercises the Renewal Option, then the leasing of the demised premises during the Renewal Term shall be upon the terms set forth herein, except that:
(a) the fixed annual rent for the demised premises during the Renewal Term shall be the Rental Value thereof;
10
(b) On the commencement of the Renewal Term, the Base Tax shall be revised to the Tax Year in which shall occur the commencement of the Renewal Term and the Base Year shall be revised to the calendar year in which shall occur the commencement of the Renewal Term.
(c) Landlord shall have no obligation to perform any work in connection with Tenant’s exercise of the Renewal Option (it being agreed that such provision shall be contemplated in the determination of the Fair Market Rent);
(d) Landlord shall have no obligation to grant to Tenant any work allowance in connection with Tenant’s exercise of the Renewal Option (it being agreed that such provision shall be contemplated in the determination of the Fair Market Rent); and
(e) the provisions of this Section 10 shall not be applicable to permit Tenant to further extend the Term.
11. | 30th Floor Option. |
11.1. Tenant shall have the right, at its option (the “30th Floor Option”), to lease the entire thirtieth (30th) floor of the Building and more particularly shown on the floor plan annexed as Exhibit F (the “30th Floor Premises”), in accordance with this Section 11, for a term commencing on the date on which Landlord shall deliver possession thereof to Tenant (such date, the “30th Floor Commencement Date”), but in no event prior to January 1, 2016 (and if the 30th Floor Commencement Date shall not occur within three (3) business days of January 1, 2016, Landlord shall give Tenant at least ten (10) days’ prior written notice of the 30th Floor Commencement Date), and expiring on the Extended Term Expiration Date by giving notice thereof (the “30th Floor Option Notice”) to Landlord no later than March 1, 2015. Time shall be of the essence as to the date by which Tenant must give the 30th Floor Option Notice to Landlord to exercise the 30th Floor Option. If Tenant does not give the 30th Floor Option Notice to Landlord on or prior to March 1, 2015, then Landlord shall thereafter have the right to lease the 30th Floor Premises (or any part thereof) to any other person or entity on terms acceptable to Landlord in Landlord’s sole discretion.
11.2. Tenant’s exercise of the 30th Floor Option shall be ineffective if, on the date that Tenant gives the 30th Floor Option Notice, Tenant shall be in default under the Lease or this Amendment beyond the expiration of any applicable notice and cure period. If (I) Tenant exercises the 30th Floor Option, and (II) at any time prior to the 30th Floor Commencement Date, Tenant shall be in default under the Lease or this Amendment beyond the expiration of any applicable notice and cure period, the Minimum Occupancy Requirement is not satisfied, then, at any time prior to the 30th Floor Commencement Date, Landlord shall have the right to declare Tenant’s exercise of the 30th Floor Option ineffective by giving notice thereof to Tenant, in which case Landlord shall have the right to lease the 30th Floor Premises (or any portion thereof) to any other individual or entity on terms acceptable to Landlord in Landlord’s sole discretion.
11.3. Subject to the terms of this Section 11.3, the 30th Floor Option Notice that Tenant gives to Landlord shall not be effective for purposes hereof (and shall be of no force or effect) unless Tenant includes therewith an increase in the Security Letter (such increase known as the “30th Floor Security”) by an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) an amount equal to the first installment of fixed annual rent for a full calendar month that becomes payable hereunder for the 30th Floor Premises (the “30th Floor First Month’s Rent”), by (y) eight (8). Landlord and Tenant shall calculate initially the amount of the aforesaid increase in the Security Letter assuming that the fixed annual rent for the 30th Floor Premises is an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying (I) the per-square-foot fixed annual rent that is then payable hereunder for the balance of the demised premises, by (II) the number of
11
square feet of rentable area comprising the 30th Floor Premises. Landlord and Tenant shall adjust the amount of the aforesaid increase in the Security Letter to the extent (if any) necessary within ten (10) Business Days after the date that the parties determine the Fair Market Rent (as hereinafter defined) for the 30th Floor Premises in accordance with the terms of Section 12 hereof.
11.4. If Tenant exercises the 30th Floor Option in accordance with the provisions of this Section 11, then, on 30th Floor Commencement Date, the following provisions shall become effective:
(a) The 30th Floor Premises shall be added to the demised premises for purposes of the Lease (except as otherwise provided in this Section 11.4).
(b) The 30th Floor Premises may be used only for the uses permitted under the Lease.
(c) Landlord shall not be obligated to perform any work or make any installations in the 30th Floor Premises or grant Tenant a work allowance therefor (it being agreed that such provision shall be contemplated in the determination of the Fair Market Rent).
(d) The fixed annual rent for the 30th Floor Premises shall be the Rental Value thereof.
(e) Tenant shall make a separate Tenant’s Tax Payment, Expense Payment, Insurance Expense Payment and Energy Expense Payment with respect to the 30th Floor Premises pursuant to the Lease, except that the Tenant’s Tax Share and the Tenant’s Share for the 30th Floor Premises shall be 2.18%, and the Base Tax shall be determined based upon the Tax Year commencing on July 1, 2015 and the Base Year shall be the calendar year 2016.
(f) Provided Tenant shall have not been in default hereunder or under the Lease beyond the expiration of any applicable notice and cure period, and provided further that Tenant is not then in default hereunder or under the Lease, to the extent applicable, Tenant may reduce the 30th Floor Security (i) to an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying the 30th Floor First Month’s Rent by seven (7) on the one (1) year anniversary of the 30th Floor Commencement Date; (ii) to an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying the 30th Floor First Month’s Rent by six (6) on the two (2) year anniversary of the 30th Floor Commencement Date; (iii) to an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying the 30th Floor First Month’s Rent by five (5) on the three (3) year anniversary of the 30th Floor Commencement Date; and (iv) to an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying the 30th Floor First Month’s Rent by four (4) on the four (4) year anniversary of the 30th Floor Commencement Date. Landlord shall cooperate with Tenant to arrange for the reduction of the 30th Floor Security pursuant to this Section 11.4(f).
11.5. Notwithstanding any provision contained in this Section 11 to the contrary, if for any reason the 30th Floor Commencement Date shall fail to occur on January 1, 2016, Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant therefor and the validity of the Lease and this Amendment, the inclusion of the 30th Floor Premises in the demised premises or the obligations of Landlord or Tenant hereunder, shall not be impaired, nor shall the Term be extended, by reason thereof. This Section 11.5 shall be an express provision to the contrary for purposes of Section 223-a of the New York Real Property Law and any other law of like import now or hereafter in effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that (x) the 30th Floor Commencement Date fails to occur within one hundred eighty (180) days of January 1, 2016, the fixed annual rent allocable to the 30th Floor Premises shall be abated one and one-half (1 1⁄2) days for every day that the 30th Floor Commencement Date fails to occur following such one hundred eightieth (180th) day.
12
12. | Determination of Rental Value and Fair Market Rent. |
12.1. As used herein, the following terms shall have the following meanings:
(a) The term “Rental Value” shall mean:
(i) if Tenant exercises the ROFO Option, the Rental Value of the Applicable Option Space shall be an amount equal to the Fair Market Rent (as hereinafter defined) of the Applicable Option Space on the Option Space Commencement Date;
(ii) if Tenant exercises the 30th Floor Option, the Rental Value of the 30th Floor Premises shall be the Fair Market Rent of the 30th Floor Premises on January 1, 2016; and
(iii) if Tenant exercises the Renewal Option, the Rental Value of the demised premises shall be the Fair Market Rent of the demised premises on the Extended Term Expiration Date.
(b) The term “Fair Market Rent” shall mean annual fair market rental value of the Applicable Area including (i) any increases therein during the portion of the Term applicable to the Applicable Area, and (ii) with respect to the Applicable Option Space, any increases in the Security Letter with respect thereto (and, if applicable, any reductions thereto during the portion of the Term applicable thereto).
(c) The term “Applicable Area” shall mean: (x) the demised premises, in connection with the determination of the Fair Market Rent thereof, (y) the Applicable Option Space, in connection with the determination of the Fair Market Rent thereof, and (z) the 30th Floor Premises, in connection with the determination of the Fair Market Rent thereof.
(d) The term “Applicable Date” shall mean: (x) the Extended Term Expiration Date, in connection with the determination of the Fair Market Rent of the demised premises, (y) the Scheduled Option Space Commencement Date, in connection with the determination of the Fair Market Rent for the Applicable Option Space, and (z) January 1, 2016 in connection with the determination of the Fair Market Rent for the 30th Floor Premises.
12.2. The Fair Market Rent shall be determined as of the Applicable Date assuming that the Applicable Area is free and clear of all leases and tenancies (including the Lease), that the Applicable Area is available for the purposes permitted by the Lease in comparable buildings in the same rental market as the Building, that Landlord has had a reasonable time to locate a tenant, and that neither Landlord nor the prospective tenant is under any compulsion to rent, and taking into account all relevant factors (including, without limitation, the presence or absence of rent escalations, additional rent charges and the applicable base year, and tenant concessions (including without limitation free rent, landlord work, tenant improvements and tenant allowances) and whether or not Landlord is obligated to pay a brokerage commission).
12.3. (a) If Tenant exercises any of the Renewal Option, the 30th Floor Option or the ROFO Option, then with respect to the exercise of each such option, Landlord and Tenant shall each deliver simultaneously to the other, at Landlord’s office, a notice (each, a “Rent Notice”), on a date mutually agreed upon, but in no event later than:
(i) one hundred eighty (180) days before the Extended Term Expiration Date, with respect to the Rent Notice for the determination of the Fair Market Rent for the Premises, and
13
(ii) the later to occur of (I) three (3) months before the Scheduled Option Space Commencement Date, and (II) the thirtieth (30th) day after the date that Tenant gives the applicable Option Response Notice to Landlord, with respect to the Rent Notice for the determination of the Fair Market Rent for the Applicable Option Space,
(iii) July 1, 2015, with respect to the Rent Notice for the determination of the Fair Market Rent for the 30th Floor Premises,
as the case may be, which Rent Notice shall set forth each of their respective determinations of the Fair Market Rent (Landlord’s determination of the Fair Market Rent is referred to as “Landlord’s Determination” and Tenant’s determination of the Fair Market Rent is referred to as “Tenant’s Determination”). If (1) Landlord fails to give Landlord’s Determination to Tenant, and (2) Tenant tenders Tenant’s Determination to Landlord, then the Fair Market Rent for the Applicable Area shall be Tenant’s Determination. If (1) Tenant fails to give Tenant’s Determination to Landlord, and (2) Landlord tenders Landlord’s Determination to Tenant, then the Fair Market Rent for the Applicable Area shall be Landlord’s Determination.
(b) If Tenant’s Determination is lower than Landlord’s Determination, then Landlord and Tenant shall attempt in good faith to agree upon the Fair Market Rent for a period of thirty (30) days after the date that Landlord gives Landlord’s Determination to Tenant, and Tenant gives Tenant’s Determination to Landlord. If Tenant’s Determination is higher than Landlord’s Determination, then the Fair Market Rent for the Applicable Area shall be the average of Landlord’s Determination and Tenant’s Determination. If Landlord and Tenant do not agree on the Fair Market Rent for the Applicable Area within thirty (30) days after the date that Landlord gives Landlord’s Determination to Tenant, and the date that Tenant gives Tenant’s Determination to Landlord, then Landlord and Tenant shall select jointly an independent real estate appraiser that (x) neither Landlord nor Tenant, nor any of their respective Affiliates, has engaged during the immediately preceding period of three (3) years, and (y) has at least ten (10) years of experience in leasing properties in the applicable market that are similar in character to the Building (such appraiser being referred to herein as the “Appraiser”). Landlord and Tenant shall each pay fifty percent (50%) of the Appraiser’s fee. If Landlord and Tenant do not agree on the Appraiser within ten (10) days after the last day of such period of thirty (30) days, then either party shall have the right to seek arbitration for the sole purpose of designating the Appraiser.
(c) The parties shall instruct the Appraiser to (i) conduct the hearings and investigations that he or she deems appropriate, and (ii) choose either Landlord’s Determination or Tenant’s Determination as the better estimate of Fair Market Rent for the Applicable Area, within thirty (30) days after the date that the Appraiser is designated. The Appraiser’s aforesaid choice shall be conclusive and binding upon Landlord and Tenant. Each party shall pay its own counsel fees and expenses, if any, in connection with the procedure described in this Section 12. The Appraiser shall not have the power to supplement or modify any of the provisions of the Lease or this Amendment.
(d) If the final determination of the Fair Market Rent is not made on or before the Applicable Date in accordance with the provisions of this Section 12, then, pending such final determination, the Fair Market Rent shall be deemed to be an amount equal to the average of Landlord’s Determination and Tenant’s Determination. If, based upon the final determination hereunder of the Fair Market Rent, the payments made by Tenant on account of the fixed annual rent and additional rent for the period prior to the final determination of the Fair Market Rent were less than the fixed annual rent and additional rent payable for such period, then Tenant, not later than the tenth (10th) day after Landlord’s demand therefor, shall pay to Landlord the amount of such deficiency, together with interest thereon at the Interest Rate. If, based upon the final determination of the Fair Market Rent, the payments made by Tenant on account of the fixed annual rent and additional rent for the period prior to the final
14
determination of the Fair Market Rent were more than the fixed annual rent and additional rent due hereunder for such period, then Landlord, not later than the tenth (10th) day after Tenant’s demand therefor, shall pay such excess to Tenant, together with interest thereon at the Interest Rate.
13. | Cancellation Option. |
13.1. Provided that Tenant has not exercised either the ROFO Option or the Renewal Option, Tenant shall have the one-time option (the “Cancellation Option”) to cancel the Lease effective as of February 28, 2023 (the “Cancellation Date”); provided, however, that such cancellation shall only be effective upon strict compliance with the following terms and conditions:
(a) Tenant shall give Landlord at least one (1) years’ prior written notice of its election to cancel the Lease (the “Cancellation Notice”), which Cancellation Notice shall be given in the manner prescribed in the Lease for the giving of notices; provided, however, in no event shall the Cancellation Notice be given prior to January 1, 2018. Any such Cancellation Notice shall be irrevocable upon delivery and time shall be of the essence in connection with the exercise of any election to cancel hereunder.
(b) If Tenant shall have not exercised the 30th Floor Option at the time of the giving of the Cancellation Notice, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the sum of $3,713,682.77 (the “Cancellation Payment”); provided, however, if Tenant shall have exercised the 30th Floor Option at the time of the giving of the Cancellation Notice, the Cancellation Payment shall be the sum of (i) $3,713,682.77, plus (ii) an amount calculated pursuant to Exhibit G annexed hereto. The Cancellation Payment shall be by good unendorsed certified or bank check of Tenant and shall be paid to Landlord within one (1) month following the delivery of the Cancellation Notice, time being of the essence. Tenant’s failure to timely pay Landlord the Cancellation Payment shall render its exercise of the Cancellation Option void ab initio, and Tenant shall have no further rights under this Article 13.
(c) Tenant shall not be in default under the Lease or this Amendment beyond the expiration of any applicable notice and cure period at the time of the giving of the Cancellation Notice.
(d) Notwithstanding any such cancellation by Tenant hereunder, Tenant shall remain liable to pay all fixed annual rent and additional rent through the Cancellation Date and to cure any default under any of the terms, covenants, and conditions of the Lease or this Amendment existing on the Cancellation Date. Such defaults shall be cured within the periods provided in the Lease and such liability of Tenant shall survive any such cancellation.
(e) On or prior to the Cancellation Date, Tenant shall vacate the demised premises and surrender possession thereof to Landlord in accordance with the provisions of the Lease, as if said Cancellation Date were the original expiration date.
(f) Upon the cancellation of the Lease, Landlord and Tenant shall be relieved of any obligations under the Lease in respect of the period following such Cancellation Date, other than those accruing prior to the Cancellation Date and except with respect to those obligations expressly provided herein to survive the expiration or sooner termination of the Lease. Upon request of Landlord, Tenant shall enter into an agreement with Landlord in form reasonably satisfactory to Landlord stating the Cancellation Date.
(g) The Cancellation Option shall be personal to Varonis Systems, Inc. or any assignee pursuant to Section 11.02 of the Lease.

14.2. Provided Tenant shall have not been in default hereunder or under the Lease beyond the expiration of any applicable notice and cure period, and provided further that Tenant is not then in default hereunder or under the Lease, Tenant may reduce the Security Letter (i) to $1,545,197.50 on the one (1) year anniversary of the 28th Floor Rent Commencement Date, (ii) to $1,324,455.00 on the two (2) year anniversary of the 28th Floor Rent Commencement Date, (iii) to $1,103,712.50 on the three (3) year anniversary of the 28th Floor Rent Commencement Date, and (iv) to $882,970.00 on the four (4) year anniversary of the 28th Floor Rent Commencement Date.

15. | Freight Elevator. |
Notwithstanding anything contained in the Lease to the contrary (including, without limitation, Section 21.01(a) thereof), if Tenant shall require freight elevator service other than between the hours on 8:00 A.M. and 5:00 P.M and/or other than on Business Days (“Freight Elevator Overtime Service”), Landlord shall furnish said service upon reasonable advance notice from Tenant, and, Tenant shall pay to Landlord on demand Landlord’s standard charges therefor (which shall be commercially competitive). As of the date hereof, Landlord’s established charges for the provision of Freight Elevator Overtime Service is $100 per hour with a 4 hour minimum on non-Business Days, but such charges shall be subject to increase, from time to time, to reflect any increases in the then established rates charged by Landlord to other tenants of the Building. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall be entitled to forty (40) hours of Freight Elevator Overtime Service at no charge in connection with Tenant’s Initial Work (as hereinafter defined).
16. | Lease of 38th Floor Premises. |
Landlord leases to Tenant, and Tenant hires and leases from Landlord, those certain premises located on the 38th floor of the Building more particularly shown on Exhibit H hereto (the “38th Floor Premises”) for the period (the “38th Floor Term”) commencing on November 1, 2014 and expiring on January 31, 2014. The lease of the 38th Floor Premises shall be upon all of the terms and conditions of the Lease; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Lease or this Amendment (i) the 38th Floor Premises shall be delivered to Tenant in their then “as is” condition (and without any representation or warranty of Landlord) and Landlord shall have no obligation to make any improvements to the 38th Floor Premises to prepare the same for Tenant’s occupancy; (ii) if for any reason Landlord shall be unable to deliver possession of the 38th Floor Premises to Tenant on November 1, 2014, Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant therefor and the validity of this Amendment (or the Lease) shall not be impaired, nor shall the Term under the Lease (as modified by this Amendment) be extended, by reason thereof, it being agreed that this clause (ii) shall be an express provision to the contrary for purposes of Section 223-a of the New York Real Property Law and any other law of like import now or hereafter in effect; (iii) Landlord shall make no contribution or payment to Tenant (including, without limitation any Tenant Improvement Allowance) with respect to the 38th Floor Premises; (iv) the fixed annual rent for the 38th Floor Premises during the 38th Floor Term shall be payable at the rate of $45,313 per month; (v) there shall be no Tenant’s Tax Payment, Expense Payment, Insurance Expense Payment or Energy Expense Payment payable for the 38th Floor Premises; (v) Tenant shall pay for electricity consumed in the 38th Floor Premises, as additional rent, such amount as Landlord shall reasonably determine, which sum shall be payable monthly in advance on the first of the month; (vi) Tenant shall have no renewal right,

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Lease, Landlord shall not be entitled to any compensation or fees in connection with the review and oversight of Tenant’s alterations, installations, additions or improvements; provided, however, if in Landlord’s reasonable opinion, it shall be necessary to retain an independent architect or engineer to review plans and specifications for Tenant’s alterations, installations, additions or improvements, Tenant shall pay, as additional rent and on demand, the reasonable out-of-pocket fees charged thereby.
(c) The following is added to the end of Section 11.03: “Without limitation of the foregoing, in the event any assignee shall extend the term of this Lease or lease additional space in the Building (whether pursuant to an option contained in this Lease or substantially in accordance with an option contained in this Lease), Tenant shall remain fully and primarily liable for the payment of all rent and the performance of all obligations arising in connection therewith.”
(d) The following is added to Section 11.05(d) after the words “is not then an occupant of any part of the Building”: “(provided Landlord then has comparable space in the high rise elevator bank available to lease for a comparable term),”.

(m) The following paragraph shall be added as Section 42.13 of the Lease:
“42.13. 31st Floor Furnishings. Tenant shall have the right to use all of the furniture, fixtures and equipment which were present in the 31st Floor Premises on the day the 31st Floor Premises was delivered to Tenant. Landlord makes no representation or warranty as to the condition, ownership or claims with respect to such furniture, fixtures and equipment, provided that Landlord has not received any written claims of ownership as to such furniture, fixtures and equipment.”
(n) The following paragraph shall be added as Section 42.14 of the Lease:
“42.14 Condominium Conversion. Tenant acknowledges that the Building and the land of which the Premises form a part may be subjected to the condominium form of ownership prior to the end of the Term of this Lease. Tenant agrees that if, at any time during the Term, the Building and the land shall be subjected to the condominium form of ownership, then, this Lease and all rights of Tenant hereunder are and shall be subject and subordinate in all respects to any condominium declaration and any other documents (collectively, the “Declaration”) which shall be recorded in order to convert the Building and the land of which the Premises form a part to a condominium form of ownership in accordance with the provisions of Article 9-B of the Real Property Law of the State of New York or any successor thereto, provided Tenant’s rights and Landlord’s obligations are not materially adversely affected as a result thereof. If any such Declaration is to be recorded, Tenant, upon request of Landlord, shall enter into an amendment of this Lease in such respects as shall be necessary to conform to such condominiumization, including, without limitation, appropriate adjustments to the Taxes that are included in the Base Tax Amount, the Expenses that are included in the Base Year, the Building Insurance Expenses that are included in the Base Insurance Expense, the Building Energy Expenses that are included in the Base Energy Expense, the Tenant’s Tax Share and the Tenant’s Share.”
25. Tenant’s Initial Alterations in the 29th Floor Premises and the 28th Floor Premises, and Tenant’s Initial Renovation of the 31st Floor Premises.
25.01. Tenant’s initial alterations in the 29th Floor Premises and the 28th Floor Premises, and Tenant’s initial renovation of the 31st Floor Premises (collectively, “Tenant’s Initial Work”) shall be performed in accordance with the terms of the Lease (including, without limitation, Article 6 and Schedule C thereof), except as otherwise provided in this Article 25.
25.02. As a result of the potentially different delivery dates of the 31st Floor Premises, the 29th Floor Premises and the 28th Floor Premises, Tenant’s Initial Work on each such floor may be performed at different times. Accordingly, while Tenant must comply with the terms of the Lease in connection with Tenant’s Initial Work, the alterations on each such floor may be performed as distinct “projects” (so that, by way of example, Tenant need not obtain Landlord’s approval to plans and specifications for Tenant’s Initial Work on all three (3) floors before commencing Tenant’s Initial Work on any one floor). Nothing in the preceding sentence, however, shall modify the terms of Article 8 hereof.
25.03 If, in connection with Tenant’s Initial Work, Landlord shall fail to respond to Tenant’s request for Landlord’s consent to (i) a proposed alteration which is a non-Building standard alteration (as defined in Section 6.04 of the Lease) within thirty (30) days of Tenant’s written request; (ii) any other proposed alteration within twenty (20) days of Tenant’s written request; or (iii) a resubmission of plans
20
and specifications for any proposed alteration within ten (10) days of Tenant’s written request, then in any of such events, Tenant shall be permitted to give Landlord written notice stating, in bold faced capitalized letters at the top thereof, the following: “LANDLORD HAS FAILED TO TIMELY RESPOND TO TENANT’S REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF TENANT’S INITIAL WORK. IF LANDLORD FAILS TO RESPOND TO TENANT’S REQUEST WITHIN THE LATER TO OCCUR OF (I) FIVE (5) DAYS AND (II) THREE (3) BUSINESS DAYS FOLLOWING THE GIVING OF THIS NOTICE, LANDLORD’S CONSENT TO SUCH ALTERATIONS SHALL BE DEEMED GIVEN.” If Landlord fails to respond to Tenant’s request within the later to occur of (i) five (5) days and (ii) three (3) business days following the giving of such notice, Landlord’s consent to the proposed alteration shall be deemed given.
25.04 If, in connection with Tenant’s Initial Work, Landlord does not approve Tenant’s proposed alterations, Landlord shall give the reason for such refusal.
25.05 Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay its consent to any proposed contractors performing any of Tenant’s Initial Work.

(f) Within one (1) year following the expiration of each Comparative Expense Year, Comparative Insurance Year and Comparative Energy Year and after receipt of necessary information and computations from Landlord’s certified public accountant, Landlord shall submit to Tenant a statement or statements, as hereinafter described, setting forth the Expenses for the preceding Comparative Expense Year, and the Expense Payment, if any, due to Landlord from Tenant for such Comparative Expense Year; a statement setting forth the Base Year Insurance Expenses and the Insurance Expense Payment, if any, due to Landlord from Tenant for such Insurance Comparative Expense Year; and a statement setting forth the Base Year Energy Expenses and the Energy Expense Payment, if any, due to Landlord from Tenant for such Energy Comparative Expense Year. The rendition of any such statement to Tenant shall constitute prima facie proof of the accuracy thereof and, if such statement shows an Expense Payment, Insurance Expense Payment and/or Energy Expense Payment due from Tenant to Landlord with respect to the preceding Comparative Expense Year, Comparative Insurance Year and/or Comparative Energy Year, then (i) Tenant shall make payment of any unpaid portion thereof within thirty (30) days after receipt of such statement; and (ii) Tenant shall also pay Landlord, as additional rent within thirty (30) days after receipt of such statement, an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying the Expense Payment, Insurance Expense Payment and/or Energy Expense Payment for the Comparative Expense Year, the Comparative Insurance Year, or the Comparative Energy Year, as the case may be, by a fraction, the denominator of which shall be 12 and the numerator of which shall be the number of months of the current Comparative Expense Year, Comparative Insurance Year or Comparative Energy Year, as the case may be, which shall have elapsed prior to the first day of the month immediately following the rendition of such statement; and (iii) Tenant shall also pay to Landlord, as additional rent, commencing as of the first day of the month immediately following the rendition of such statement and on the first day of each month thereafter until a new statement is rendered an amount equal to 1/12th of the total Expense Payment for the preceding Comparative Expense Year, 1/12th of the total Insurance Expense Payment for the preceding Insurance Comparative Expense Year and/or 1/12th of the total Energy Expense Payment for the preceding Comparative Energy Year.

The payments required to be made under
(ii) and (iii) above shall be credited toward the Expense Payment, the Insurance Expense Payment or the Energy Expense Payment due from Tenant for the then current Comparative Expense Year, the then current Comparative Insurance Year or the then current Comparative Energy Year, as the case may be, subject to adjustment as and when the statement for such Comparative Expense Year, Comparative Insurance Year or Comparative Energy Year is rendered by Landlord.
(g)(i) The statements of the Expenses, the Building Insurance Expenses and the Building Energy Expenses to be furnished by Landlord as provided above shall be certified by Landlord, and shall be prepared in reasonable detail and based on information and computations made for Landlord by Landlord’s accountant or manager, it being agreed that said accountant or manager may rely on Landlord’s allocations and estimates wherever operating cost allocations or estimates are needed for this Exhibit C. The statements thus furnished to Tenant shall constitute a final determination as between Landlord and Tenant of the Expenses, Building Insurance Expenses and Building Energy Expenses for the periods represented thereby, unless Tenant within forty-five (45) days after they are furnished shall give notice to Landlord that it disputes their accuracy or their appropriateness, which notice shall specify the particular respects in which the statement is inaccurate or inappropriate. Pending the resolution of any such dispute, Tenant shall pay the additional rent to Landlord in accordance with the statements furnished by Landlord.
(ii) Landlord shall grant Tenant (together with its legal counsel or an independent certified public accountant retained by Tenant) reasonable access to so much of Landlord’s books and records as may be required for the purposes of verifying the Expenses, the Building Insurance Expenses and the Building Energy Expenses incurred for the Comparative Expense Year, the Comparative Insurance Year or the Comparative Energy Year then just ended, as the case may be, (hereinafter, an “Audit”) during normal business hours at the place where they are regularly maintained, for a period of forty-five (45) days from the date notice is given by Tenant under Paragraph (g)(i) provided and on the express condition that: (a) notice is given by Tenant in a timely fashion under Paragraph (g)(i), (b) all additional rent are paid by Tenant to Landlord in accordance with the statements furnished to Tenant under this Section, (c) the person examining Landlord’s books and records (or the employer thereof) is not a person who is paid based in whole or in part on the amount of any reduction of the payment resulting from the examination or any other so called “contingency fee” basis, and (d) Tenant, its legal counsel and its accountants shall execute a confidentiality agreement prior to the time access to Landlord’s books and records is given. If Tenant’s Audit discloses that the Expenses, Building Insurance Expenses or Building Energy Expenses billed to Tenant were overstated by Landlord by more than five percent (5%), then the parties shall seek to resolve such difference. If they are unable to do so, either may submit such dispute to arbitration for resolution.
(h) In no event shall the fixed annual rent under the Lease be reduced by virtue of this Exhibit C.
(i) Landlord’s and Tenant’s obligation to make the adjustments referred to in this Exhibit C shall survive any expiration or termination of this Lease.
(j) Any delay or failure of Landlord in billing any escalation hereinabove provided shall not constitute a waiver of or in way impair the continuing obligation of Tenant to pay such escalation hereunder.
EXHIBIT D

Landlord shall cause to be performed the following work with respect to the 28th Floor Premises at Landlord’s expense, using Building standard materials.

APPENDIX I
RECITALS:
A. Landlord and Tenant have executed the Lease, pursuant to which Landlord leased to Tenant, and Tenant leased from Landlord, the Leased Space.
B. Tenant and Lender desire to agree on the relative priorities of their interests in the Property and their rights and obligation upon the occurrence of certain events, as described herein.
AGREEMENT:
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and sufficient consideration, the parties agree as set forth below.
Tenant and Lender agree that, until the Mortgage is released or otherwise satisfied of record:
The Lease and all of Tenant’s rights thereunder are and will remain subject and subordinate to the Mortgage and to any and all future advances of the Loan secured thereby and to any other mortgage, deed of trust or other security instrument on the Property now or in the future held by Lender, and Tenant will not subordinate the Lease to any other lien against the Property without Lender’s prior written consent;
Except for any security deposit and those payments to be made by Tenant under the Lease based on Landlord’s estimate of real estate taxes, operating expenses and other escalations payable by Tenant under the terms of the Lease, Tenant will not pay Rent more than one (1) month in advance and will not claim any offset against Rent;
Upon receipt of notice from Lender, Tenant will pay the Rent as and when due under the Lease to Lender and the payments will be credited against the Rent due under the Lease; and
Tenant does not have, and will not acquire, any right or option to purchase any portion of, or interest in, the Property.
As long as Tenant is not in default in respect of any the terms and conditions of this Agreement and is not in default of any of its obligations under the Lease beyond any applicable grace or cure period, Tenant and Lender agree as follows:
If Lender commences a judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure or other proceeding to enforce the Mortgage, or exercises any power of sale (an “Action”), Lender will not name Tenant as a party to such Action unless joinder is required under applicable law, and in such event: (i) Lender will not seek affirmative relief from Tenant; (ii) the Lease will not be terminated; and (iii) neither Tenant’s possession of the Leased Space nor its quiet enjoyment thereof will be disturbed;
If Lender or any other entity (a “Successor Landlord”) acquires the Property through an Action or by deed in lieu of foreclosure (an “Acquisition”), Successor Landlord will not disturb Tenant’s possession of the Leased Space or its quiet enjoyment thereof, and the Lease
will continue in full force and effect with Successor Landlord and Tenant bound by the Lease; and
If, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lease is terminated as a result of an Action, a lease between Successor Landlord and Tenant will be deemed created on the same terms as the Lease, except that the term of the replacement Lease will be the then-unexpired term of the Lease, subject to any renewal or expansion option rights. Successor Landlord and Tenant will execute such a replacement Lease in accordance with the foregoing at the written request of either party.
In the event of an Acquisition, Tenant will recognize and attorn to Successor Landlord as the landlord under the Lease for the balance of the term thereof. Tenant’s attornment will be self-operative, and no further instrument shall be required to effectuate the same, except that at Successor Landlord’s request, Tenant will execute instruments as are reasonably satisfactory to Successor Landlord to confirm such attornment.
Successor Landlord will not be:
liable for any act or omission of Landlord occurring prior to the date of the Acquisition, except for any repair and maintenance obligations of a continuing nature imposed on the landlord under the Lease;
required to credit to Tenant’s account any Rent for any rental period beyond the then-current rental period or for any security deposit, unless such deposit has actually been received by Successor Landlord;
bound by any assignment, surrender, termination, cancellation, amendment or modification of the Lease made after the date hereof without its written consent, except assignments made in strict conformance with the applicable provisions of the Lease;
subject to any credits, offsets, claims, counterclaims or defenses that Tenant may have against Landlord arising prior to the date of the Acquisition, except to the extent that the default or other action or failure to act which gives rise to such credit, offset, claim, counterclaim or defense continues after the Acquisition and then only to the extent accrued during such post Acquisition period;
liable for any damages Tenant may suffer as a result of any misrepresentation, breach of warranty or act of or failure to act by any party other than Successor Landlord; or
obligated to make any payment, or to give any credit or allowance, to Tenant, including, without limitation, for any improvements, alterations, demolition or other work in the Leased Space or the Property (other than to repair and restore following a casualty or condemnation to the extent required under the Mortgage), or to undertake or complete construction of any improvements in, or alterations of, the Leased Space or the Property, or to pay any leasing commissions arising out of the Lease.
Lender will have the right, but not the obligation, to cure any default by Borrower under the Lease. Tenant will notify Lender in writing of any default by Borrower in respect of any of the terms and conditions of the Lease that would entitle Tenant to terminate the Lease or receive an abatement of the Rent. Any notice of termination by reason of Borrower’s default will not be effective unless Tenant has so notified Lender of such default and Lender has had a thirty (30)-
day cure period (or such longer period as may be necessary if Borrower’s default is not susceptible to cure within thirty (30) days, but in any event not longer than one hundred twenty (120) days in the aggregate), commencing on the latest to occur of the date on which: (a) the cure period under the Lease expires; and (b) Lender receives the notice required by this paragraph. Any notice of abatement will not be effective unless Tenant has notified Lender of the default entitling Tenant to such abatement and Lender has had a thirty (30)-day cure period (or such longer period as may be necessary if the default is not susceptible to cure within thirty (30) days) commencing on the date on which Lender receives the notice required by this paragraph, but in any event not longer than one hundred twenty (120) days in the aggregate.
Upon not less than ten (10) days’ prior request from Lender, Tenant will execute, acknowledge and deliver to Lender an estoppel certificate containing such true and accurate information as may be reasonably required to be contained therein pursuant to the Lease and any other information reasonably requested by Lender.
All notices, requests or consents required or permitted to be given under this Agreement must be in writing and sent by certified mail, return receipt requested or by nationally recognized overnight delivery service providing evidence of the date of delivery, with all charges prepaid, addressed to the appropriate party at its respective Notice Address.
Tenant acknowledges and agrees that this Agreement constitutes notice to Tenant of the existence of the Mortgage and that, as of the date thereof, all of the Rents and Leases relating to the Property have been assigned by Borrower to Lender as additional security for the Loan.
Any claim by Tenant against Successor Landlord under the Lease or this Agreement shall be satisfied solely out of Successor Landlord’s interest in the Property and the rent, issue and profit derived therefrom, and Tenant will not seek recovery against or out of any other assets of Successor Landlord. Successor Landlord will have no liability or responsibility for any obligations under the Lease that arise subsequent to any transfer of the Property by Successor Landlord.
This Agreement is governed by, and will be construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the state or commonwealth in which the Property is located.
LENDER AND TENANT HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY PROCEEDING BROUGHT BY, OR COUNTERCLAIM ASSERTED BY, LENDER OR TENANT RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT.
In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Lease and the provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall control.
This Agreement binds and inures to the benefit of Lender and Tenant and their respective successors, assigns, heirs, administrators, executors, agents and representatives.
