and in accordance with Article 2 of the Xxxxxxxxx, and accordingly the Sublease
Expiration Date with respect to each such portion of the Interim Leaseback Space
shall occur on the day preceding the Space Delivery Date applicable to such

shall pay "Minimum Rent" with respect only to the Long-Term Leaseback Space as
follows (it being expressly agreed that no Minimum Rent shall be payable with
respect to the Interim Leaseback Space).

2
(c) During the period commencing on the tenth (10th)
anniversary of the Net Rent Base Increase Date and ending on the day preceding

amount determined by the product of Fifty and no/l00 ($50.00) Dollars per annum
multiplied by 270,670 rentable square feet, which is equal to Thirteen Million
Five Hundred Thirty-Three Thousand Five Hundred and no/l00 Dollars
($13,533,500); and
(d) During the period commencing on the fifteenth (15th)
anniversary of the Net Rent Base Increase Date and ending on the Sublease

which is equal to Fourteen Million Eight Hundred Eighty-Six Thousand Eight
Hundred Fifty and no/100 Dollars ($14,886,850).
Payments of Minimum Rent shall be in equal monthly installments, in advance in
lawful money of the United States of America, which shall be paid by check,
subject to collection, and shall be paid to Sublandlord without notice or demand
at the address indicated above or to such other person or at such other place as
Sublandlord may designate in writing from time to time. At Sublandlord's or
Subtenant's option such payments shall be made by wire transfer of immediately
available Federal funds to such account as Sublandlord shall designate in
writing to Subtenant from time to time. Provided that there is not then a
Claimed Abatement (as defined below) in effect, Sublandlord shall, in
satisfaction of Subtenant's obligation to pay Minimum Rent hereunder, on the
first day of each month, credit the amount of Minimum Rent due from Subtenant
hereunder for such month against the Sublandlord's concurrent obligation to pay
Minimum Rent under the Xxxxxxxxx. In the event that Subtenant shall deliver to
Sublandlord a written notice stating (x) that Subtenant is entitled to an
abatement of Minimum Rent pursuant to this Sublease and referencing the Section
of this Sublease pursuant to which Subtenant is claiming such abatement, (y) the
amount of abatement (the "Claimed Abatement") to which Subtenant is claiming it
is entitled and (z) the period during which such abatement is or will be in
effect, Sublandlord shall credit against Sublandlord's obligation to pay Minimum
Rent under the Xxxxxxxxx only that portion (if any) of the Minimum Rent payable
by Subtenant hereunder in excess of the Claimed Abatement.
No payment by Subtenant or receipt by Sublandlord of a lesser amount than the
Minimum Rent therein specified, nor any endorsement or statement on any check or
letter accompanying such check shall be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and
Sublandlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Sublandlord's
right to recover the balance of such Minimum Rent or pursue any other remedy in
this Sublease provided. In the event Subtenant's obligation to pay Minimum Rent
commences on a date other than the first day of a calendar month or ends on a
date other than the last day of a calendar month, the same shall be pro-rated.
Section 1.03 Rent Concession Period. The Subtenant shall not be
obligated to pay Minimum Rent for the Long-Term Leaseback Space during the Rent
Concession Period. The term "Rent Concession Period" shall mean the 150-day
period that begins on the Sublease Commencement Date and ends one hundred
forty-nine (149) days thereafter. Minimum Rent for the Long-Term Leaseback Space
shall commence on the day after the expiration of the Rent Concession Period
(the "Sublease Rent Commencement Date").
Section 1.04 Additional Rent. All sums of money, costs, expenses,
charges, interest, or fees of every kind or amount whatsoever, other than
Minimum Rent, which Subtenant
3
has assumed or agreed to pay to Sublandlord, or which otherwise may become due

Rent." Minimum Rent and Additional Rent are sometimes hereinafter collectively
called "Rent."
Section 1.05 Late Charge. If Subtenant shall fail to pay when due
any installment or payment of Additional Rent or any portion thereof for a
period of five (5) days after such installment or payment shall have become due,
Subtenant shall pay interest thereon at a rate equal to the Interest Rate from
the date when such installment or payment shall have become due to the date of
the payment thereof, and such interest shall be deemed Additional Rent. The
provisions of this Section 1 .05 are in addition to all other remedies available
to Sublandlord for nonpayment of Additional Rent. In no event shall the
provisions of this Section 1.05 be applicable to the payment or failure to pay
any installment of Minimum Rent by Subtenant.

Elevators in accordance with Subtenant's reasonable requirements, at Subtenant's
Expense. Further, Subtenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, be entitled to

Dedicated Elevators provided Subtenant provides Sublandlord with a reasonable
number of entry keys or cards, as the case may be. Sublandlord shall provide
Subtenant with access from the parking area where Subtenant has a designated
parking spot to the Executive Dedicated Elevators. In the event Subtenant is no

Security and Operations") and the allocation of costs therefor. The parties will
amend this Sublease and the Shared Services Agreement to reflect their
agreements with respect to the allocation of responsibility and costs for the
Lobby Security and Operations. In the event that the parties are unable to come
to an agreement with respect to responsibility for the Lobby Security Operations
and the allocation of costs therefor within the ninety (90) day period provided
for above, such dispute shall be resolved in accordance with Article 8 of the
Shared Services Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the
foregoing, during any Extension Term in which Subtenant shall not have extended

elevators servicing the Tower shall be for the non-exclusive use of all
occupants of the Tower (and the exclusive use of the Dedicated Elevators and

(e) Sublandlord and Subtenant, during the next ninety (90)
days from the date hereof, shall work together to determine, (i) whether it is
feasible to allow Sublandlord to have access to the Tower lobby for
Sublandlord's access to its demised premises in the Tower, (ii) the security
measures to be implemented in the event Sublandlord may have access to the Tower
lobby, and (iii) the allocation of the costs associated with Sublandlord's use
of the Tower lobby and the security to be provided therein. In the event that

of the foregoing items, such disputed matter shall be resolved in accordance
with the dispute mechanism set forth in Article 8 of the Shared Services
Agreement.
Section 4.05 Subject to the provisions of Article 12 hereof,
Sublandlord reserves the right to stop services on the heating, ventilating and
air-conditioning, elevator, plumbing, fire safety, life protection and
electrical systems and any other system serving the Building when necessary, in
the reasonable judgment of Sublandlord, for reason of accident or emergency or
for repairs, alterations, replacements or improvements, provided that (except in
case of accident or emergency), Sublandlord will give reasonable advance notice
to Subtenant, if possible, of any such stoppage and, if ascertainable, its
estimated duration, will reasonably cooperate with Subtenant, if possible, in
scheduling any such stoppage, and will proceed diligently with the work
necessary to resume such service as promptly as possible and in a manner so as
to minimize interference with Subtenant's use and enjoyment of the Leaseback
Space.

the Building, supply Subtenant with (i) an adequate quantity of warm and cool
water for (a) lavatory, cleaning and drinking purposes, and (b) pantry purposes,

Space consuming not more than three (3) gallons per minute per pantry, and such
pantry consists of no more than a sink, a unit for brewing and dispensing coffee
and a refrigerator, and that the same are used by Subtenant for standard pantry
purposes in keeping with
7
a First-Class Office Building and (ii) a quantity of water for Subtenant's
sprinklers in the Leaseback Space which complies with Legal Requirements.
Section 4.07 If Subtenant is permitted hereunder to and does have a
separate area for the preparation or consumption of food in the Leaseback Space,
Subtenant, at its expense, shall be responsible to arrange for the removal from
the Building of any refuse or rubbish from such area and the cost of employing
on a regular basis, a reputable exterminator to keep the Leaseback Space free
from vermin.
Section 4.08 Subject to the provisions of Section 4.01 hereof,
Sublandlord will furnish security for the common areas of the Building, the
procedures for which and type of security systems and personnel involved shall
be subject to Sublandlord's reasonable judgment, it being understood and agreed
that Sublandlord shall have no obligation to provide any security services or
systems to the Leaseback Space or any floor on which Subtenant is the sole
Subtenant or to any area or system that is exclusively used by, or is
exclusively available to, Subtenant other than existing tap-in points to the
Building's main vertical sprinkler riser and existing class "E" life-safety
system on each floor of the Leaseback Space, at Subtenant's Expense. Subtenant
shall have the right to provide security to the Tower lobby and to restrict
access into the Tower lobby to only Subtenant's employees, agents and invitees.
Subtenant, at Subtenant's Expense, shall be allowed to interface its electronic
security and life safety systems with the Building's systems so that Subtenant
will be able to trigger the Building's (i) security alarms through its security
system (if the existing security system, as modified, is capable of handling the
same), and (ii) life safety system alarms through its life safety system (if the
existing life safety system, as modified, is capable of handling the same)
provided that Subtenant's Systems (and the interfacing of the same with the
Building's Systems) are compatible with, and do not materially adversely affect,
the Building's Systems.
Section 4.09 Sublandlord shall maintain and provide electric
lighting service, air-conditioning and heating, as appropriate, for all common
areas of the Building in the manner and to the extent appropriate for a
First-Class Office Building.
Section 4.10 Subtenant shall have the right to request that
Sublandlord lock-out certain floors of the Leaseback Space from being serviced
by the passenger and freight elevators and Sublandlord shall do so unless the
same cannot be reasonably accomplished.
Section 4.11 Subject to Section 10.7 of the Xxxxxxxxx, at all times
Sublandlord shall provide and monitor a fire alarm system for the Building into
which the smoke detectors, fire alarms, strobes, speakers, pull-stations and
other related equipment installed by Subtenant and approved by Sublandlord
within the Leaseback Space required by code compliance will be connected.
Sublandlord's fire alarm contractor shall connect Subtenant's fire alarm devices

adjusted and paid or refunded, as the case may be, substantially in the same
manner as provided in the preceding sentence.

shall promptly at Subtenant's election either refund to Subtenant the amount of
such excess or permit Subtenant to credit the amount of such excess against
subsequent payments of Rent or Additional Rent payable under this Sublease; and
if the Operating Statement for such Operating Year shall show that the sums so
paid by Subtenant were less than the Operating Payment to be paid by Subtenant
for such Operating Year, Subtenant shall pay the amount of such deficiency
within thirty (30) days after demand therefor. If the Operating Statements shall
show that the estimated sums theretofore estimated by Sublandlord and paid by
Subtenant for such operating Year exceeded the Operating Payment for such
Operating Year by more than ten (10%) percent, Sublandlord shall pay to
Subtenant interest on the excess over ten (10%) percent at the Interest Rate
from the end of the applicable Operating Year to which the overpayment relates
to the date such overpayment is refunded or credited; provided, if Sublandlord's
estimate of the Operating Payment was based on Subtenant's Proportionate Share
(or Subtenant's Amenities Proportionate Share, if applicable) at the time such
estimate was prepared (taking into account any Outside Date for delivery of
Interim Leaseback Space occurring during such Operating Year) and Subtenant
thereafter delivered Interim Leaseback Space to Sublandlord prior to the
applicable Outside Date thereof, Sublandlord shall not be required to pay
interest on any excess relating to the reduction in Subtenant's Proportionate
Share (or Subtenant's Amenities Proportionate Share, if applicable) as a result
of such delivery.

Statement or relieve or release Subtenant from any obligation to pay Subtenant's
Proportionate Share (or Subtenant's Amenities Proportionate Share, if
applicable) of Operating Expenses for any Operating Year, but, if Sublandlord

Taxes for the previous Tax Year, which amount shall be appropriately adjusted
when the actual amount of Subtenant's Proportionate Share (or Subtenant's
Amenities Proportionate Share, if applicable) of Taxes for such Tax Year becomes
known. If it becomes necessary to adjust the regular payments during a Tax Year,
19

legal fees incurred or expended in obtaining the same, to the extent that such
costs and expenses were not included in the Taxes for such Tax Years) and to the
extent Sublandlord actually receives the same, interest thereon; provided,
however, such payment or credit to Subtenant shall in no event exceed
Subtenant's Tax Payment paid for such Tax Year. Such payment or credit shall be
made within sixty (60) days following receipt of such refund by Sublandlord.

policies showing that all insurance required by this Article is being maintained
as required herein. Subtenant's Certificates of Insurance (except for those
evidencing Worker's compensation coverage) shall name Sublandlord, and, to the
extent identified in writing to Subtenant, its managing agent as additional
insureds. Upon renewal of any such insurance that expires before the expiration
of this Sublease, Sublandlord shall be provided with renewal Certificates of
Insurance or binders or copies of policies not less than ten
28
(10) days prior to such expiration, together with evidence of the payment of the
premiums thereon. Receipt of each Certificate of Insurance or other
documentation of insurance or copies of policies by Sublandlord or by any of its
representatives which indicate less coverage than required herein will not
constitute a waiver of Subtenant's obligation to fulfill said insurance
requirements.
Section 9.07 Sublandlord shall maintain in respect of the Building
at all times the Required Insurance set forth in Section 7.1 of the Xxxxxxxxx.
Upon Subtenant's reasonable request, Sublandlord shall deliver to
Subtenant certificates of the foregoing insurance. Sublandlord's commercial
general liability policy shall name Subtenant as an additional insured as its
interest may appear.
Any insurance required by the terms of this Sublease to be carried by
Sublandlord may be under a blanket policy (or policies) covering other
properties of Sublandlord and/or Sublandlord's Affiliates, provided that (i)
Subtenant shall, to the extent of any commercial general liability coverage, be
named as an additional insured as its interest may appear, (ii) the Building is
expressly listed (by address) as a covered property, (iii) the amount of
coverage allocated to the Building shall be expressly listed, and shall not be
less than the amounts otherwise required hereunder, and (iv) such blanket policy
shall not diminish the obligations of Sublandlord so that the proceeds from such
blanket policy shall be an amount no less than the amount of the proceeds that
would be available if Sublandlord obtained the required insurance under policies
separately insuring the risks which this Sublease requires Sublandlord to
insure.
Section 9.08 Each of Sublandlord and Subtenant shall be responsible
for its own deductibles and self-insurance retention and such costs shall not be
the responsibility or liability of the other party.
Section 9.09 Should Subtenant engage a contractor or consultant to
do work in or on any portion of the Building, Subtenant shall require such
parties to obtain (and name Sublandlord as an additional insured on) such
insurance policies as would customarily be required for such parties doing work
in a First-Class Office Building. Upon Sublandlord's request, Subtenant shall
deliver to Sublandlord certificates of the foregoing insurance.
Section 9.10 Subtenant shall not do or suffer or permit anything to
be done on its behalf in or about the Leaseback Space or the Building which
would (i) cause insurance companies of good standing to refuse to insure the
Building in amounts reasonably satisfactory to Sublandlord, (ii) result in the
cancellation of any policy of insurance or the assertion of any defense by the
insurer to any claim under any policy of insurance maintained by or for the
benefit of Sublandlord, or (iii) violate any Insurance Requirement of which
Subtenant has been given notice.
Section 9.11 If Subtenant shall fail to furnish or maintain the
insurance coverages required to be obtained and maintained by Subtenant pursuant
to, and as required by, this Article 9 and to furnish evidence reasonably
satisfactory to Sublandlord that such insurance coverages have been obtained and
are, at all times throughout the Sublease Term, in full force and effect,
Sublandlord shall have the right (but not the obligation) to obtain and maintain
such insurance coverages on behalf of Subtenant and Subtenant hereby covenants
and agrees to (i) furnish Sublandlord with all necessary information required by
Sublandlord to obtain and maintain such
29
insurance coverages and (ii) to pay the premiums therefor upon Sublandlord's
demand for such payment.
Section 9.12 Any type of insurance or any increases in the limits of
liability described in this Article 9 that Subtenant obtains for its own
protection or as otherwise required by statute shall be at Subtenant's sole cost
and expense.
Section 9.13 All insurance required to be carried by Subtenant
herein shall be evidenced by valid and enforceable policies issued by and
distributed among insurers permitted under Section 7.3 of the Xxxxxxxxx.
Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, any insurance required by
the terms of this Sublease to be carried by Subtenant may be under a blanket
policy (or policies) covering other properties of Subtenant and/or Subtenant's
Affiliates, provided that Sublandlord and all other additional insureds required
to be named by Subtenant pursuant to this Article are named in such policy as
additional insureds. A certificate of each such policy shall be delivered to
Sublandlord concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof.
ARTICLE 10
ACCESS
Section 10.01 Subtenant shall permit Sublandlord to erect, use and
maintain pipes, ducts, fans, wires and conduits in and through the Leaseback
Space, provided the same are installed adjacent to or concealed behind, beneath
or within partitioning, columns, floors, walls and ceilings of the Leaseback
Space or otherwise completely furred at points immediately adjacent to any of
the foregoing and provided further that the installation and maintenance of the
same do not (i) materially adversely affect Subtenant's Systems, (ii) materially
adversely affect the use of the Leaseback Space for Subtenant's business
purposes, or (iii) reduce the useable area of the Leaseback Space by a material
amount (it being agreed that Subtenant shall be entitled to a rent reduction.
calculated on per square foot basis, for any reduction in the usable area of the
Leaseback Space above a de minimis amount as a result of the foregoing) and
Sublandlord shall have used reasonable efforts to first install the same in
portions of the Building (such as shaftways) reserved by Sublandlord for use in
common. Sublandlord and persons authorized by Sublandlord shall have a right to
enter and/or pass through the Leaseback Space, at all necessary times, to make,
and have the right to make, such repairs, alterations, additions and
improvements in or to the Leaseback Space, the Building and the facilities and
equipment in either or both as Sublandlord is required to make under this
Sublease or the Xxxxxxxxx, provided that such repairs, alterations, additions or
improvements shall be performed during such hours and in such manner so as not
to unreasonably cause material interference with the conduct of Subtenant's
business. Sublandlord shall be allowed to take all material into and upon the
Leaseback Space that may be required for the repairs or alterations above
mentioned as the same is required for such purpose, provided that the presence,
nature or location of such material shall not unreasonably interfere with the
conduct of Subtenant's business, without the same constituting eviction of
Subtenant in whole or in part, and the Rent reserved shall in no wise xxxxx,
except as otherwise provided in this Sublease, while said repairs or alterations
are being made. Sublandlord shall have no liability by reason of loss or
interruption of the business of Subtenant or annoyance or inconvenience to
Subtenant because of the prosecution of any such work, provided Sublandlord
diligently proceeds therewith and complies with the provisions of this Article
10. Sublandlord shall exercise reasonable diligence so as not to
30
unreasonably cause interference with the conduct of Subtenant's business and
shall take reasonable care to safeguard the Leaseback Space and Subtenant's
property and shall repair any damage caused by Sublandlord, its contractors and
employees, but nothing contained in this Article 10 shall require Sublandlord to
expend or incur any charges or costs for overtime labor or pay any premiums
other than on the basis provided in Section 7.04 of this Sublease.
Section 10.02 Notwithstanding the foregoing, any entry into the
Leaseback Space pursuant to this Article 10 shall be subject to the following
conditions:
(a) Sublandlord shall, except in case of emergency, provide
Subtenant with not less than one Business Day's prior notice of any such entry;
(b) any damage to the Leaseback Space resulting from
Sublandlord's exercise of the foregoing rights shall be repaired promptly by
Sublandlord, at Sublandlord's expense; and
(c) if Subtenant shall not be present when for any reason
entry into the Leaseback Space shall be necessary or permissible, Sublandlord or
Sublandlord's agents may enter any portion of the same, other than areas
previously designated in a written notice to Sublandlord by Subtenant as
"security areas" where securities, negotiable instruments or currency are kept
by Subtenant. Neither Sublandlord nor Sublandlord's agents shall enter such
"security areas" except in the case of an emergency unless accompanied by
Subtenant.
ARTICLE 11
RULES AND REGULATIONS
Section 11.01 Subtenant, and those claiming by, through or under
Subtenant, and the servants, employees and agents of each of the foregoing,
shall observe faithfully and comply with the Rules and Regulations set forth in
Schedule E attached hereto and made part hereof and such reasonable changes
thereto (whether by modification, elimination or addition) as Sublandlord at any
time or times hereafter may make and communicate to Subtenant, which, in
Sublandlord's reasonable judgment, shall be necessary for the reputation,
safety, care and appearance of the Building, or the preservation of good order
therein, or the operation or maintenance of the Building, and which do not
unreasonably affect the conduct in the Leaseback Space of the business of
Subtenant or Subtenant's Affiliates; provided that (i) Sublandlord gives
Subtenant prior written notice of such changes and (ii) such new rules and
regulations or changes in existing rules and regulations do not require
expenditures by Subtenant by more than a non-material amount and do not require
expenditures for alterations other than in non-material amounts, not
contemplated by the terms of the Sublease (such rules and regulations as changed
from time to time being herein called "Rules and Regulations"). In case of any
conflict or inconsistency between the provisions of the Sublease and any of the
Rules and Regulations, the provisions of the Sublease shall control.
Section 11.02 Sublandlord shall (a) not enforce against Subtenant
any Rules or Regulations which Sublandlord is not then generally enforcing
against all other occupants of the Building and observing itself, (b) not
unreasonably withhold or delay its consent from Subtenant for
31
any approval or consent required under the Rules and Regulations; and (c)
exercise its judgment in good faith in any instance providing for the exercise
of its judgment in the Rules and Regulations.
ARTICLE 12
INABILITY TO PERFORM
Section 12.01 If by reason of an Unavoidable Delay, either party
shall be unable to fulfill its obligations under this Sublease during the Term,
this Sublease and any obligation hereunder, including the obligation to pay
Rent or make any other monetary payment, shall in no wise be affected, impaired
or excused (except as provided in Section 12.02 below); provided however, that
as soon as the relevant party shall learn of the happening of any of the
foregoing conditions, such party shall promptly notify the other of such event
and, if ascertainable, its estimated duration and will proceed promptly and
diligently with the fulfillment of its obligations as soon as reasonably
possible.
Section 12.02 The foregoing provisions of this Section 12.01
notwithstanding, if for any reason whatsoever, including the matters described
in Article 4 of this Sublease, Sublandlord shall fail to provide any service
required to be provided by Sublandlord to Subtenant under this Sublease or if
Sublandlord shall fail to perform any repair and maintenance and if, as a result
of Sublandlord's failure to provide all or any of said services, the Leaseback
Space is rendered Wholly Untenantable or Partially Untenantable (as such terms
are hereinafter defined) for more than five (5) consecutive Business Days after
written notice of the existence of which condition has been given by Subtenant
to Sublandlord or any six (6) Business Days in a ten (10) day period, Subtenant,
as its sole right and remedy, shall be entitled to an abatement of Minimum Rent
and Additional Rent (relating to Operating Expenses and Taxes) (on a per square
foot basis) for each day after said five (5) day period or the seventh (7th) day
in any ten (10) day period until the Leaseback Space or the applicable portion
thereof cease to be Wholly Untenantable or Partially Untenantable, as the case
may be. For the purposes of this Article 12, "Wholly Untenantable" shall mean
that Subtenant, due to the cessation of one or more of the services required to
be provided by Sublandlord is actually unable to use the entire Leaseback Space
in the normal course of its business and that Subtenant, due to the cessation of
such services required to be provided by Sublandlord hereunder, completely
ceases to occupy the same for the conduct of its business, and "Partially
Untenantable" shall mean that Subtenant, due to the cessation of one or more of
the services required to be provided by Sublandlord hereunder, is actually
unable to use a portion of the Leaseback Space in the normal course of its
business and that Subtenant, due to the cessation of such services, ceases to
occupy the same for the conduct of its business.
ARTICLE 13
ASSIGNMENT; SUBLETTING
Section 13.01 Subject to the terms below, Subtenant shall have the
right without obtaining the consent or approval of Sublandlord to assign or
mortgage this Sublease or to sublease or grant a license or occupancy agreement
for all or any part of the Long-Term Leaseback Space. Except as specifically
provided below with respect to the portion of the Long-Term Leaseback
32
Space located on the 11th floor of the South Building and/or the second (2nd)
floor of the Tower (collectively or individually, the "Recapture Space"),
Sublandlord shall not have any recapture rights or splitting of profits' rights
with respect to the Long-Term Leaseback Space. If the entire 11th floor of the
South Building shall be subleased, such sublease shall automatically include
within the subleased premises the entire 11th floor setback. If only a portion
of such 11th floor is subleased, such sublease shall not include any part of the
11th floor setback.
Section 13.02 With respect to the Interim Leaseback Space, Subtenant
shall not sublease all or any part of the Interim Leaseback Space (provided that
occupancy by Subtenant's successors in interest by merger, consolidation or sale
of substantially all of the assets or stock ("Subtenant's Successors") or to
Subtenant's Affiliates shall not be deemed or construed to be a sublease).
Section 13.03 Subtenant agrees that it shall not sublease the
Recapture Space or any portion thereof unless it has first complied with the
terms of Section 13.04 and 13.05. Possession or occupancy of any portion of the
Recapture Space by one or more of Subtenant's Affiliates and/or Subtenant's
Successor (whether or not pursuant to a written agreement) shall not be deemed
or construed to be a sublease of the Recapture Space hereunder and Subtenant
shall be permitted to allow, without having to comply with the provisions of
Sections 13.04 through 13.10 hereof, Subtenant's Affiliates and/or Subtenant's
Successor to occupy the Recapture Space. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the
case of possession or occupancy of any portion of the Recapture Space by
Subtenant's Affiliates, any subsequent transaction whereby such occupant shall
cease to be an Affiliate shall be subject to the provisions of clauses (a) and
(b) of Section 13.05 hereof, but shall not be subject to the provisions of
Section 13.04 hereof (provided that such subsequent transaction shall be done
for a good business purpose and not primarily for the purpose of circumventing
compliance with Section 13.04). The Subtenant originally named herein (i.e.,
Metropolitan Life Insurance Company) and any Subtenant's Successor shall be
permitted to allow, subject to the terms and conditions of the Sublease (but
without having to comply with the provisions of Sections 13.03, 13.04 and 13.05
hereof), Subtenant's "Business Associates" as hereinafter defined, to occupy
portions of the Recapture Space on a temporary basis from time to time (it being
agreed that the term "temporary" as used in this Section 13.03 shall mean the
duration of the ongoing business or professional relationship), provided that
the space occupied by Subtenant's Business Associates shall not be separately
demised from the Leaseback Space. "Business Associates" shall mean professional
and business entities with whom the named Subtenant shall have an on-going
professional or business relationship. Any subtenant of the Subtenant originally
named herein shall also be permitted to allow its Business Associates to occupy
up to fifteen (15%) percent of its sublet space, from time to time on a
temporary basis provided that the space occupied by such Business Associates
shall not be separately demised from such subtenant's demised space.
Section 13.04 (a) Prior to Subtenant's subleasing the Recapture
Space or any portion thereof, Subtenant must first present Sublandlord with a
written offer ("Recapture Offer Notice") to sublease such space to Sublandlord
for occupancy by Sublandlord or Sublandlord's Affiliates, as additional space to
be included within the Demised Premises under the Xxxxxxxxx. The Recapture Offer
Notice shall set forth: (i) the area proposed to be sublet, in the case of a
proposed subletting of a portion of the Recapture Space, and (ii) the term of
the proposed subletting (the "Proposed Sublet Term") and the date the area to be
sublet is intended to be vacated by Subtenant,
33
which date shall not be less than sixty (60) days after the date Sublandlord
receives such Recapture Offer Notice. Sublandlord shall have a period of sixty
(60) days after its receipt of said Recapture Offer Notice within which to
accept or reject the offer. If Sublandlord shall fail to respond to Subtenant's
Recapture Notice within such sixty (60) day period, then Subtenant shall have
the right to give to Sublandlord a second notice (a "Second Recapture Notice"),
and if Sublandlord shall fail to respond to such Second Recapture Notice within
ten (10) Business Days after Sublandlord's receipt thereof, then Sublandlord
shall be deemed to have rejected such offer, provided and on condition that the
Second Recapture Notice shall state in bold uppercase letters on the first page
thereof "SUBLANDLORD SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE REJECTED THE RECAPTURE RIGHT
DESCRIBED IN THIS NOTICE IF SUBLANDLORD FAILS TO RESPOND WITHIN TEN (10)
BUSINESS DAYS AFTER THIS NOTICE SHALL HAVE BEEN GIVEN TO SUBLANDLORD." If
Sublandlord shall accept such offer, Subtenant and Sublandlord shall execute and
deliver an amendment to the Xxxxxxxxx to add such portion of the Recapture Space
within the Demised Premises, which amendment shall provide that the term of such
subletting shall commence on the later of the following dates (the "Proposed
Sublease Commencement Date"): (x) the date specified in the Recapture Offer
Notice and (y) the date which is sixty (60) days after the date of delivery of
the Recapture Offer Notice to Sublandlord, and shall be for the term specified
in the Recapture Offer Notice and for the rents and on the terms and conditions
set forth in Sections 13.04 (b) or (c) hereof in the event Sublandlord does not
acquire all of the space on the 11th floor or the 2nd floor, as the case may be,
Sublandlord (at Subtenant's sole cost and expense) will do all the work
necessary to physically separate the portion of the Recapture Space on such
floor (so added to the Demised Premises under the Xxxxxxxxx) from the portion of
the floor so retained by Subtenant, which work shall include, without
limitation, the erection of a demising wall between the portion of the Recapture
Space so surrendered to Sublandlord and the balance of the Recapture Space on
such floor retained by Subtenant. In addition, in the event the portion of the
Recapture Space so surrendered to Sublandlord does not have direct access to a
public corridor in the Building or to an elevator bank serving such surrendered
portion, Subtenant, shall, and will at all times, provide and permit reasonably
appropriate means of ingress to and egress from and access across and through
the balance of the Recapture Space retained by Subtenant, provide and permit
appropriate use of the elevators serving such surrendered portion, including
access across lobby and corridor areas.
(b) If Sublandlord shall accept the offer set forth in Section
13.04(a) hereof to add such space to the Demised Premises under the Xxxxxxxxx in
the case of a proposed subletting of all or any portion of the Recapture Space
for the remainder the Sublease Term (less one day), this Sublease shall
terminate with respect only to the Recapture Space, or portion thereof in
question, as of the Proposed Sublease Commencement Date and for the remainder of
the Sublease Term and the Minimum Rent and Additional Rent payable hereunder
shall be apportioned as of such termination date, and Subtenant's Proportionate
Share (or Subtenant's Amenities Proportionate Share, if applicable) shall be
appropriately adjusted, and such space shall be included as part of the Demised
Premises under the Xxxxxxxxx on all the terms and conditions of the Xxxxxxxxx,
including without limitation the payment of Minimum Rent and Additional Rent. At
the request of either party, Sublandlord and Subtenant shall execute and deliver
an instrument or instruments in form reasonably satisfactory to the other,
setting forth any modifications to this Sublease and to the Xxxxxxxxx,
contemplated in or resulting from the operation of the provisions of the
foregoing clause; however, neither Sublandlord's nor Subtenant's failure to
execute or deliver any such instruments shall vitiate the effect of the
provisions of such foregoing clause.
34
(c) If Sublandlord shall accept the offer set forth in Section
13.04(a) hereof to add such space to the Demised Premises under the Xxxxxxxxx in
the case of a proposed subletting of all or any portion of the Recapture Space
for less than the remainder of the Sublease Term (less one day), this Sublease
shall temporarily terminate with respect only to the Recapture Space, or the
portion thereof in question as of the Proposed Sublease Commencement Date and
for the remainder of the Proposed Sublet Term, and, during the Proposed Sublet
Term: (I) the Minimum Rent and Additional Rent payable hereunder shall be
apportioned as of such termination date, (II) Subtenant's Proportionate Share
(or Subtenant's Amenities Proportionate Share, if applicable) shall be
appropriately adjusted, and (III) such space shall be included as part of the
Demised Premises under the Xxxxxxxxx on all the terms and conditions of the
Xxxxxxxxx, including without limitation the payment of Minimum Rent and
Additional Rent. At the request of either party, Sublandlord and Subtenant shall
execute and deliver an instrument or instruments in form reasonably satisfactory
to the other, setting forth any modifications to this Sublease and to the
Xxxxxxxxx, contemplated in or resulting from the operation of the provisions of
the foregoing clause; however, neither Sublandlord's nor Subtenant's failure to
execute or deliver any such instruments shall vitiate the effect of the
provisions of such foregoing clause. Upon the expiration of the Proposed
Sublease Term, Sublandlord shall deliver such space back to the Subtenant in
good order and condition with all Specialty Alterations installed by Sublandlord
therein having been removed to the extent required to be removed under the
Xxxxxxxxx and such space shall once again become part of the Leaseback Space
upon all the terms and conditions of this Sublease including without limitation
that Subtenant shall pay Minimum Rent and Additional Rent with respect to such
space under this Sublease. At the request of either party, Sublandlord and
Subtenant shall execute and deliver an instrument or instruments in form
reasonably satisfactory to the other setting forth any modifications to this
Sublease resulting from the operation of the provisions of this paragraph (c);
however, neither Sublandlord's nor Subtenant's failure to execute or deliver any
such instruments shall vitiate the effect of the provisions of this paragraph
(c).
Section 13.05 (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the
foregoing, if Sublandlord shall reject (or shall be deemed to reject) the offer
set forth in Section 13.04(a) hereof to add the Recapture Space or any portion
thereof to the Demised Premises under the Xxxxxxxxx and Subtenant shall
thereafter sublease the Recapture Space (or any portion thereof) and the rent
payable under such sublease exceeds the rent payable under this Sublease on a
prorated basis (determined on a per square foot basis), Subtenant shall pay to
Sublandlord (as and when received by Subtenant, and as Additional Rent) fifty
(50%) percent of the Profit, as such term is hereinafter defined. Subtenant
shall deliver to Sublandlord a duplicate original of the sublease no later than
ten (10) Business Days after the effective date of the sublease. Payments of
Profit hereunder by Subtenant to Sublandlord shall not be deemed to be part of
"Total Income" of Sublandlord allocable to such Recapture Space for purposes of
calculating "Profit" pursuant to Section 14.4 of the Xxxxxxxxx.
(b) The term "Profit" shall mean the excess, if any, of (i)
the rentals actually received by Subtenant under any sublease of the Recapture
Space (it being understood that the rentals actually received under any sublease
shall include sums paid for the sale or rental of Subtenant's fixtures,
leasehold improvements, equipment, furniture or other personal property, less,
(A) in the case of the sale thereof, the then net unamortized or undepreciated
cost thereof determined on the basis of Subtenant's federal income tax returns,
and (B) in the case of the rental thereof, the then net unamortized cost
thereof, amortized over the useful life of such item(s), and any other
consideration actually received by Subtenant under such sublease (other than
payments in the nature
35
of reimbursements for amounts payable to third parties such as indemnity
payments) (the "Total Income")), over (ii) the sum (the "Total Cost") of (x) all
Minimum Rent and Additional Rent paid by Subtenant to Sublandlord hereunder,
each of the foregoing as prorated on a rentable square foot basis to the portion
of Recapture Space so sublet, and (y) "Subtenant's Transaction Costs", as
hereinafter defined, and (z) any "Carryover Credit", as hereinafter defined. The
term "Subtenant's Transaction Costs" shall mean and include all actual
reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Subtenant consistent with the then
market requirements in effectuating the subletting, including, without being
limited to, reasonable marketing expenses, real estate transfer taxes, sales
taxes and taxes of like import imposed in connection with the transaction,
brokerage commissions, attorney's fees and disbursements, remodeling and
redecorating costs, rent paid during any free-rent periods and takeover costs
and expenses. In computing Profits, the Total Income, as and when received by
Subtenant, shall first be offset against Subtenant's Transaction Costs, as and
when incurred or paid by Subtenant on the basis hereinafter provided, until
Subtenant has recovered Subtenant's Total Transaction Costs. The Total Income,
as and when received, less such Total Cost as may be paid or incurred by
Subtenant on the basis herein provided shall constitute Profit. If at any time a
prior sublease shall have resulted in a net loss to Subtenant with respect to
such sublease (i.e., the total of the items included in clauses (x) and (y) of
this Section 13.05(b) paid for the duration of such sublease exceeds the Total
Income received under the terms thereof), such net loss, to the extent
theretofore incurred (a "Carryover Credit"), shall be carried over and applied
to other then existing or succeeding transactions, it being understood that in
no event shall Sublandlord ever be required to refund or credit to Subtenant any
sums previously paid or determined to be owing to Sublandlord for prior
determinations of Profit in respect of earlier subleases. There shall be no
duplication of offsets against Total Income. Notwithstanding the foregoing to
the contrary, Subtenant shall not be obligated to pay any Profit to Sublandlord
which shall be received by Subtenant as amounts paid to Subtenant as Landlord
under the Xxxxxxxxx.
(c) If Subtenant shall not consummate a subletting of the
Recapture Space or the portion thereof in question, as the case may be, as shall
have been specified in the Recapture Offer Notice within twelve (12) months
following Sublandlord's rejection (or deemed rejection), in the case of a
subletting of 200,000 rentable square feet of the Long-Term Leaseback Space or
less, or within eighteen (18) months after such waiver (or deemed waiver) in the
case of an assignment of this Sublease or a subletting of more than 200,000
rentable square feet, Subtenant shall not have the right to consummate the
subletting of the Recapture Space, as the case may be, without again complying
with all of the provisions of Section 13.04 hereof.
Section 13.06 Nothing in this Article 13 shall be deemed or
construed to release Subtenant from liability after a subletting (other than a
subletting to Sublandlord, but then only to the extent of the area so subleased
to Sublandlord and only for the application period and any holdover by
Sublandlord) or, an assignment, it being understood and agreed that Subtenant
shall and will remain fully liable for payment of the Minimum Rent and
Additional Rent due and to become due hereunder and for the performance of all
the covenants, agreements, terms, provisions and conditions contained in this
Sublease on the part of Subtenant to be performed, and all acts and omissions of
any assignee, licensee or sublessee or anyone claiming under or through any
assignee or sublessee (other than through Sublandlord) which shall be in
violation of any of the obligations of this sublease shall be deemed to be a
violation by Subtenant.
36
Section 13.07 No subletting or assignment will release Subtenant
from any of its obligations under this Sublease. In the event of an assignment
or other transfer (other than a sublease), the assignee or transferee shall be
deemed to have assumed all of Subtenant's obligations under this Sublease
accruing from and after the date hereof and shall be jointly and severally
liable with Subtenant for all of the obligations of the Subtenant under this
Sublease. If this Sublease shall be assigned or if the Long-Term Leaseback Space
shall be sublet or occupied by anyone other than Subtenant, whether or not in
violation of the provisions of this Sublease, then Sublandlord may collect from
the assignee or transferee or, after a Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, from the subtenant, and Subtenant hereby authorizes and directs such
party to pay to Sublandlord, all Rent, Additional Rent and other charges payable
pursuant to such instrument, with the net amount so collected applied to the
Minimum Rent, Additional Rent and other charges payable under this Sublease, but
no such acceptance of Rent by Sublandlord from any person other than Subtenant
will be deemed a waiver by Sublandlord of any provision of this Article 13 or an
acceptance by Sublandlord of the assignee, transferee or subtenant as a
Subtenant, or a release of Subtenant from the further performance of the
covenants and agreements to be performed by Subtenant under this Sublease.
Section 13.08 Anything to the contrary contained herein
notwithstanding, if there is a dispute between Sublandlord and Subtenant as to
the right of Sublandlord to recapture the Recapture Space, Sublandlord and
Subtenant agree to diligently proceed in good faith to have such dispute
resolved by arbitration in the City of New York in accordance with the rules of
The American Arbitration Association (or its successor) by an arbitrator
selected by The American Arbitration Association (or its successor). Such
arbitrator shall be an attorney with at least 10 years experience in Manhattan
office leasing for First-Class Office Buildings. The costs and expenses of
arbitration shall be shared equally by Sublandlord and Subtenant, but each party
shall be responsible for its own costs and expenses and the fees and expenses of
its own witnesses and counsel. In rendering his decision, the arbitrator shall
have no power to vary, modify or amend any provision of this Sublease. A
determination made by arbitration pursuant to this paragraph shall be final and
binding upon the parties. The arbitrator shall be required to furnish written
arbitral findings to each of the parties hereto.
Section 13.09 If this Sublease is assigned to any person or entity
pursuant to the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, any and all monies or other
consideration payable or otherwise to be delivered in connection with such
assignment shall be paid or delivered to Sublandlord, shall be and remain the
exclusive property of Sublandlord and shall not constitute property of Subtenant
or of the estate of Subtenant within the meaning of the Bankruptcy Code. Any and
all monies or other consideration constituting Sublandlord's property under the
preceding sentence not paid or delivered to Sublandlord shall be held in trust
for the benefit of Sublandlord and shall be promptly paid to or turned over to
Sublandlord.
(a) Any person or entity to which this Sublease is assigned
pursuant to the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code shall be deemed without
further act or deed to have assumed all of the obligations arising under this
Sublease on and after the date of such assignment. Any such assignee shall
execute and deliver to Sublandlord upon demand an instrument confirming such
assumption. No assignment of this Sublease shall relieve Subtenant of its
obligations hereunder and, subsequent to any assignment, Subtenant's liability
hereunder shall continue notwithstanding any
37
subsequent modification or amendment hereof or the release of any subsequent
Subtenant hereunder from any liability, to all of which Subtenant hereby
consents in advance.
(b) If Subtenant assumes this Sublease and proposes to assign
the same pursuant to the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code to any person or
entity who shall have made a bona fide offer to accept an assignment of this
Sublease on terms acceptable to Subtenant, then notice of such proposed
assignment shall be given to Sublandlord by Subtenant no later than twenty (20)
days after receipt by Subtenant, but in any event no later than ten (10) days
prior to the date that Subtenant shall make application to a court of competent
jurisdiction for authority and approval to enter into such assignment and
assumption. Such notice shall set forth (a) the name and address of such person
or entity, (b) all of the terms and conditions of such offer, and (c) adequate
assurance of future performance by such person or entity under the Sublease as
set forth in Section 13.09(c) below, including, without limitation, the
assurance referred to in Section 365(b)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code. Sublandlord
shall have the prior right and option, to be exercised by notice to Subtenant
given at any time prior to the effective date of such proposed assignment, to
accept an assignment of this Sublease upon the same terms and conditions and for
the same consideration, if any, as the bona fide offer made by such person or
entity, less any brokerage commissions which would otherwise be payable by
Subtenant out of the consideration to be paid by such person or entity in
connection with the assignment of this Sublease.
(c) The term "adequate assurance of future performance" as
used in this Sublease shall mean that any proposed assignee shall, among other
things, (i) deposit with Sublandlord on the assumption of this Sublease the sum
of the then Minimum Rent as security for the faithful performance and observance
by such assignee of the terms and obligations of this Sublease, which sum shall
be held as security by Sublandlord, (ii) furnish Sublandlord with financial
statements of such assignee for the prior three (3) fiscal years, as finally
determined after an audit and certified as correct by a certified public
accountant, which financial statements shall show a net worth of at least six
(6) times the then Minimum Rent for each of such three (3) years, (c) grant to
Sublandlord a security interest in such property of the proposed assignee as
Sublandlord shall deem necessary to secure such assignee's future performance
under this Sublease, and (d) provide such other information or take such action
as Sublandlord, in its reasonable judgment shall determine is necessary to
provide adequate assurance of the performance by such assignee of its
obligations under the Sublease.
Section 13.10 If, at any time after the originally named Subtenant
herein may have assigned Subtenant's interest in this Sublease, this Sublease
shall be disaffirmed or rejected in any proceeding of the types described in
Section 17.02(b), or in any similar proceeding, or in the event of termination
of this Sublease by reason of any such proceeding or by reason of lapse of time
following notice of termination given pursuant to Article 17 based upon any of
the events of default set forth in such Section 17.02(b), any prior Subtenant,
including, without limitation, the originally named Subtenant, upon request of
Sublandlord given within thirty (30) days next following any such disaffirmance,
rejection or termination (and actual notice thereof to Sublandlord in the event
of a disaffirmance or rejection or in the event of termination other than by act
of Sublandlord), shall (1) pay to Sublandlord all Minimum Rent, Additional Rent
and other items due and owing by the assignee to Sublandlord under this Sublease
to and including the date of such disaffirmance, rejection or termination, and
(2) as "Subtenant", enter into a new sublease with Sublandlord of the Leaseback
Space for a term commencing on the effective date of such disaffirmance,
rejection or
38
termination and ending on the date set forth in this Sublease for the expiration
of the term hereof, unless sooner terminated as in such sublease provided, at
the same Minimum Rent and Additional Rent and upon the then executory terms,
covenants and conditions as are contained in this Sublease, except that (a)
Subtenant's rights under the new sublease shall be subject to the possessory
rights of the assignee under this Sublease and the possessory rights of any
person claiming through or under such assignee or by virtue of any statute or of
any order of any court, (b) such new sublease shall require all defaults
existing under this Sublease to be cured by Subtenant with due diligence, and
(c) such new sublease shall require Subtenant to pay all escalated rent reserved
in this Sublease which had this Sublease not been so disaffirmed, rejected or
terminated, would have accrued under the provisions hereof after the date of
such disaffirmance, rejection or termination with respect to any period prior
thereto. If any such prior subtenant shall default in its obligation to enter
into said new sublease for a period often (10) days next following Sublandlord's
request therefor, then, in addition to all other rights and remedies by reason
of such default, either at law or in equity, Sublandlord shall have the same
rights and remedies against such subtenant as if such subtenant had entered into
such new sublease and such new sublease had thereafter been terminated as of the
sublease commencement date thereof by reason of such subtenant's default
thereunder.
Section 13.11 With respect to any sublease of the Leaseback Space or
any part thereof (a) which demises at least Twenty-Five Thousand (25,000)
rentable square feet, (b) the term of which is for at least ten (10) years or
for remainder of the Term, less one day, if less than 10 years then remains in
the Term; (c) the rent and additional rent on account of escalations payable on
a rentable square foot basis thereunder with respect to the sublet space shall
be no less than the rent and additional rent on account of escalations payable
on a rentable square foot basis (or, if such rent is less, the subtenant shall
agree to pay same at the rate payable hereunder applicable on a pro-rata basis);
(d) the subtenant under which is, in Sublandlord's reasonable judgment,
financially sound and capable of performing its obligations thereunder, and
Subtenant shall have delivered to Sublandlord evidence reasonably satisfactory
to Sublandlord of such financial status; (e) which shall entitle the subtenant
to services (HVAC, elevators, cleaning, etc.) no more burdensome to provide than
the services provided under typical leases for comparable space in First-Class
Office Buildings as of the date of such sublease; and (f) which provides that,
after termination of this Sublease and attornment by the subtenant to
Sublandlord, the subtenant shall not, without the prior written consent of
Sublandlord, sublease all or any part of the premises demised thereby or assign
the sublease, except in either case, to a wholly-owned subsidiary of, or an
entity wholly owning, the subtenant, or to a successor of the subtenant, by
merger, sale of assets or consolidation, provided that the net worth of such
successor subtenant, calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, without regard to good will, shall be at least equal to the net
worth of subtenant, as so calculated, ninety (90) days prior to the succession
transaction, and evidence of such net worth (in the form of current financial
statements certified by a "Big Five" firm of certified public accountants or
current registration statements or reports filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission) shall have been delivered to Sublandlord, Sublandlord
shall, upon Subtenant's request, enter into an agreement in substantially the
form attached hereto as Schedule F (a "Subtenant Non-Disturbance Agreement")
with such subtenant. Any dispute as to whether any sublease complies with the
provisions of this Section 13.11 shall be resolved by arbitration in accordance
with Section 14.13 of the Xxxxxxxxx hereof, provided, however, that the form of
the Subtenant Non-Disturbance Agreement shall not be subject to arbitration. If
the result of such arbitration shall be adverse to Sublandlord, Sublandlord
shall not be liable for damages but Sublandlord shall then execute a Subtenant
Non-Disturbance Agreement. If Subtenant shall make any request under this
Section
39
13.11, it shall reimburse Sublandlord for Sublandlord's reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses (including attorneys' fees and disbursements, credit
investigation fees and the fees and disbursements of other professionals)
incurred by Sublandlord in order to determine if the sublease complies with
clauses (a) through (d) above, but not the costs of any such arbitration.
Notwithstanding anything in this Section 13.11, in no event shall the granting
of a Subtenant Non-Disturbance Agreement by Sublandlord to any subtenant be
deemed to create any privity of estate between Sublandlord and such subtenant
prior to the date of any such attornment.
ARTICLE 14
ALTERATIONS AND INSTALLATIONS
Section 14.01 (a) Except as may otherwise be expressly provided in
this Article 14, Subtenant shall be allowed to make any alterations,
installations, additions or improvements (collectively, the "Alterations") in or
to (i) the Interim Leaseback Space without Sublandlord's prior written consent;
provided that any such Alterations (x) do not reduce the usable square footage
of such Interim Leaseback Space and will not require any Alterations to be made
to comply with Legal Requirements within the Interim Leaseback Space, and (y)
are not Specialty Alterations (unless Subtenant agrees to remove such Specialty
Alterations prior to the Space Delivery Date of such Interim Leaseback Space);
and (ii) the Long-Term Leaseback Space without Sublandlord's prior written
consent. Subtenant shall not make, without Sublandlord's consent, any
Alterations to the 12th Floor, the South Building lobby or the South Building
Concourse levels X-x and B-2. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the
immediately preceding sentences, Subtenant (as Overlandlord) shall be allowed to
perform the Rehabilitation Work in the Building in accordance with the terms of
the Xxxxxxxxx. If an Alteration is a "Material Alteration" (as defined below),
Subtenant shall not be allowed to make such Material Alteration without
Sublandlord's prior written consent, which consent by Sublandlord shall not be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If Subtenant disputes the
reasonableness of Sublandlord's withholding of consent to any Material
Alteration or to the Subtenant's Plans therefor, such dispute will be resolved
by arbitration in accordance with Article 21 of the Xxxxxxxxx and the
determination of the arbitrators shall be final and conclusive upon the parties
hereto. Alterations which may unreasonably interfere with the use and enjoyment
by other occupants of the Building of such occupant's space (such as, for
example, core drilling) shall be done at times other than during Business Hours.
(b) Prior to making any Material Alterations, Subtenant shall
submit to Sublandlord complete plans and specifications ("Subtenant's Plans")
for such proposed Material Alterations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Subtenant
shall not be required to submit Subtenant's Plans (i) for which no plans are
required to be filed with the New York City Buildings Department (or any other
governmental body), and (ii) with respect to which the preparation of such plans
is not customary in accordance with good construction practice, but in such
event, Subtenant shall, at least five (5) days in advance of Subtenant's
commencing any Alterations, nevertheless notify Sublandlord of such Alterations,
which notification shall include a description, in reasonable detail, of the
proposed alteration.
(c) Alterations are "Material Alterations" if either such
Alterations or the construction thereof:
40
(i) will affect the structural integrity of the Building
or any of its exterior walls, roof, supporting beams, columns,
floor slabs or foundations; or
(ii) will affect the outside appearance of the Building
or be visible from the ground anywhere outside the Building
(excluding Subtenant's signage, which shall not be deemed to
be a Material Alteration); or
(iii) will (y) affect the Building Systems other than
the distribution portions of those systems located within the
Leaseback Space and exclusively serving, and which effect is
confined to, the Leaseback Space (for the consequences of
which effect obtain on the Leaseback Space Sublandlord shall
have no responsibility hereunder) or (z) increase
Sublandlord's costs of providing Building services (unless
Subtenant expressly agrees in writing to reimburse Sublandlord
for such increases in costs on such basis as shall be
reasonably acceptable to Sublandlord and Subtenant, in which
case such Alteration shall not be deemed a Material
Alteration); or
(iv) will result in a change to, or revocation,
suspension or loss of, the certificate of occupancy or any
other permit or license for operating and using any portion of
the Building, unless only Subtenant's occupancy would be
affected thereby, in which event such Alterations shall not be
deemed as falling within the definition of the term Material
Alterations solely by virtue of such effect and Subtenant
shall obtain, at Subtenant's sole cost and expense, said
certificate of occupancy or permits upon completion of the
Alterations;
(v) will involve or alter the use of the Building's fire
exits and stairwells for ingress and egress to the Leaseback
Space; or
(vi) will involve plumbing over the Sublandlord's
approximately 25,000 square foot data center unless (A) such
plumbing is already in existence or (B) Subtenant agrees to
pay for the cost of waterproofing or other protective measures
to prevent the possibility of water penetration into the data
center.
(d) Within fifteen (15) Business Days after Subtenant submits
Subtenant's Plans to Sublandlord, Sublandlord shall notify Subtenant whether or
not Sublandlord consents to such Material Alterations. Any withholding of
Sublandlord's consent shall include a written explanation of the grounds
therefor in reasonable detail which specifically references the specific aspects
of Subtenant's Plans which are unacceptable. Successive submissions of
Subtenant's Plans may be made by Subtenant to Sublandlord based upon a
disapproval of a prior submission or Subtenant's desire to change Subtenant's
Plans which have been previously approved by Sublandlord, which changes would
require Sublandlord's reapproval in accordance herewith. The foregoing mechanism
for submission, objection and approval of Subtenant's Plans shall apply to each
submission and each resubmission of Subtenant's Plans (and any changes thereto
requiring Sublandlord's reapproval) with respect to any Material Alterations. If
Sublandlord shall approve
41
elements of Subtenant's Plans that can, in accordance with good engineering and
construction practice, be constructed independent of any portion of Subtenant's
Plans that were not approved by Sublandlord and which may be completed without
any adverse affect to the items referred to in clauses (i) through (iii) of
Section 14.01(c) of this Sublease and do not involve the use of the items
referred to in clause (iv) of said Section 14.01(c), Subtenant shall, subject to
the terms, conditions and provisions of this Article 14, have the right, at its
sole risk, cost and expense, to construct those elements so approved by
Sublandlord. If Sublandlord fails to furnish Subtenant with such written
explanation within fifteen (15) Business Day's period, Subtenant may, at its
option, serve Sublandlord with a notice in accordance with Article 24 of the
Xxxxxxxxx, which notice to be effective must make specific reference to this
Section 14.0 1(c) and set forth in bold upper case type that "SUBLANDLORD'S
FAILURE TO RESPOND TO SUBTENANT'S PRIOR SUBMISSION OF SUBTENANT'S PLANS WITHIN
FIFTEEN (15) BUSINESS DAYS OF SUBLANDLORD'S RECEIPT OF THE NOTICE SHALL BE
DEEMED AN APPROVAL OF THE PROPOSED MATERIAL ALTERATIONS", and if Sublandlord
does not furnish Subtenant with its disapproval or withholding of consent with
an explanation of the grounds therefor in reasonable detail which specifically
references the specific aspects of Subtenant's Plans which are unacceptable
within fifteen (15) Business Days after Sublandlord's receipt of the notice,
Subtenant's Plans shall be deemed approved. Pending Sublandlord's consent (or
deemed consent) to Material Alterations, Subtenant shall not commence all or any
portion of the work for such Material Alterations. Any Alteration shall be
performed in a manner that reasonably minimizes any interference with or
inconvenience to Sublandlord and/or other subtenants of the Building and shall
be completed with the Plans and Specifications approved by Sublandlord to the
extent required. Upon completion of any Material Alteration for which
Subtenant's Plans were required to be submitted to Sublandlord pursuant to this
Section 14.01(b), Subtenant shall deliver to Sublandlord three (3) complete
sets (mylar and computer digitized in AutoCADD Version 12, or the then current
digitized system used by Sublandlord, provided such then current system is then
generally accepted in the real estate industry in New York City) of final
as-built plans (or as-built plans or final construction plans with field notes
marked) for such Material Alteration. In addition, if Subtenant is not otherwise
required to deliver such as-built plans but has actually prepared plans showing
as-built conditions, Subtenant shall deliver the same to Sublandlord promptly
upon completion thereof.
Section 14.02 (a) All Alterations shall at all times comply with all
Legal Requirements and Insurance Requirements. Subtenant, at its expense, shall
(i) obtain all necessary municipal and other governmental permits, licenses,
authorizations, approvals and certificates for the commencement and prosecution
of such Alterations and for final approval thereof upon completion, (ii) obtain
all insurance certificates with respect to insurance, if any, which Subtenant is
required to carry during performance of work leading to, and through, the
completion of the Alterations and (iii) deliver three (3) copies of such
insurance certificates to Sublandlord prior to commencing the construction of
the Alterations in question. If Subtenant's execution alone would not be
sufficient to obtain the following, Sublandlord shall promptly execute and
deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered), all factually correct and
lawful applications and consents required by Legal Requirements and/or Insurance
Requirements to be filed in order to enable Subtenant to obtain the permits,
authorizations, licenses, approvals and certificates referred to in clause (i)
of this paragraph (a) of Section 14.02, and will otherwise reasonably cooperate,
with Subtenant and take actions reasonably requested by Subtenant in order to
obtain the same, provided Sublandlord thereby incurs no expense which is not
reimbursed by Subtenant and no liability related to the Alterations proposed by
Subtenant or the documents requested by Subtenant to be executed by Sublandlord,
42
unless in each event Subtenant has agreed to indemnify Sublandlord in respect
thereof to Sublandlord's reasonable satisfaction.
(b) All work leading to, and through, the completion of all
Alterations shall be performed so as not to unreasonably interfere with the
occupancy of Sublandlord (or any other occupant or tenant) or materially delay
Sublandlord in the construction, maintenance, cleaning, repair, safety,
management, security or operation of the Building or the Building's systems. If
any additional out-of-pocket expenses shall be incurred or paid for by
Sublandlord as a direct result of Subtenant's performance under this Article 14,
Subtenant shall pay such additional out-of-pocket expenses to Sublandlord within
thirty (30) days after demand.
(c) Throughout the making of all Alterations, Subtenant, at
its expense, shall carry or cause to be carried the insurance coverages required
to be carried pursuant to Article 9 of this Sublease. Subtenant shall furnish
Sublandlord with satisfactory evidence that such insurance is in effect before
the commencement of such Alterations and, on request, at reasonable intervals
thereafter.
(d) Subtenant, at its expense, shall promptly procure the
cancellation or discharge of all notices of violations of Legal Requirements
arising from or related to Alterations, but nothing contained herein or
elsewhere in this Sublease shall be, or be deemed to be, an acquiescence or
consent by Sublandlord to the existence or continuation of any such violation or
relieve or release Subtenant from its obligations under this Article.
(e) Subtenant shall promptly pay the cost of such Alterations
to the extent due and payable to the contractors and suppliers performing the
same, but the failure to do so shall not be a default under the Sublease. Notice
is hereby given that neither Sublandlord, Sublandlord's agents, or any other
party claiming by, through or under Sublandlord or Sublandlord's agents shall be
liable for any labor or materials furnished or to be furnished to Subtenant upon
credit, and that no mechanics' or other lien for such labor or materials shall
attach to or affect any estate or interest of Sublandlord.
(f) Subtenant shall have the right, either directly or
indirectly, to employ or permit the employment of any contractor, mechanic,
supplier, vendor, materialman or laborer in the Leaseback Space so long as the
employment or use of such contractor, mechanic, supplier, vendor, materialman or
laborer would not violate Sublandlord's union contracts or Sublandlord's
contractors' (or their subcontractors') union contracts affecting the Building,
or create any jurisdictional dispute with other contractors, mechanics,
suppliers, vendors, materialmen or laborers engaged by Sublandlord or the agents
of Sublandlord, it being understood and agreed that it shall be deemed
reasonable for Sublandlord to rely on the written advice of its counsel in the
determination of any of the foregoing. Subject to Subtenant furnishing
Sublandlord with a reasonably acceptable confidentiality agreement, a copy of
such advice will be forwarded to Subtenant promptly following Subtenant's
written request therefor.
(g) Sublandlord's review of, approval of, or consent to,
Subtenant's Plans shall not be deemed to be an agreement, warranty or
representation by Sublandlord that the contemplated Material Alterations are fit
for their intended use or comply with any Legal Requirements or Insurance
Requirements or the certificate of occupancy for the Building nor shall
43
same be deemed a waiver by Sublandlord of compliance by Subtenant with any of
the terms, provisions, covenants, conditions and agreements of this Sublease, or
a warranty or representation as to the adequacy, correctness or efficiency
thereof.
(h) Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord within thirty (30) days
after demand, as Additional Rent, Sublandlord's reasonable out-of-pocket costs
and expenses (including the fees of any architect or engineer employed or
retained by Sublandlord for such purpose, but excluding any "in-house" charge or
attribution of overhead or supervision costs for services rendered or provided
by Sublandlord's employees in connection with the same) for reviewing
Subtenant's Plans for Material Alterations.
Section 14.03 Subtenant acknowledges that it understands that
Sublandlord shall have the right to adopt and thereafter modify, from time to
time, reasonable general tenant guidelines for the Building covering
construction, maintenance, repair or other work. Subtenant agrees that all
repairs, renovations, alterations, installations, additions and Alterations and
other activities within the scope of the general tenant guidelines for the
Building (including, without limitation, fire protection, life safety, plumbing,
HVAC, mechanical, electrical and communications systems) effected by or on
behalf of Subtenant in the Leaseback Space shall be conducted in accordance with
and pursuant to the aforesaid tenant guidelines (as same may be reasonably
amended by Sublandlord from time to time), as well as any applicable
governmental requirements and regulations. Subtenant agrees that it is its
responsibility to ensure that Subtenant and those working for Subtenant comply
with the aforesaid tenant guidelines as well as any other applicable
governmental requirements and regulations. Sublandlord shall (a) not enforce
against Subtenant any of the general tenant guidelines which Sublandlord is not
then enforcing against all the other occupants of the Building and observing
itself, (b) not unreasonably withhold or delay its consent from Subtenant for
any approval required under the general tenant guidelines; and (c) exercise its
judgment in good faith in any instance providing for the exercise of its
judgment in the general tenant guidelines. In the case of any conflict or
inconsistency between the provisions of this Sublease and any of the general
tenant guidelines, the provisions of this Sublease shall control. If Subtenant
disputes the reasonableness of any additional rule or regulation hereafter
adopted by Sublandlord, the dispute shall be determined by arbitration in
accordance with Article 21 of the Xxxxxxxxx and, to the extent and for the
duration that Subtenant disputes the same, Subtenant shall not be deemed to be
in default under this Sublease as a result of a failure to comply with the same,
unless the failure to comply with the same shall result in a violation of Legal
Requirements, Insurance Requirements, or any mortgage or ground lease to which
the Sublease is subordinate. Any such determination shall be final and
conclusive upon the parties hereto. The right to dispute the reasonableness of
any additional rule or regulation upon Subtenant's part shall be deemed waived
unless the same shall be asserted by service of a notice upon Sublandlord within
thirty (30) days after receipt by Subtenant of notice of the adoption of any
such additional rule or regulation.
Section 14.04 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
this Article 14, Subtenant agrees that prior to commencing any Alterations
Subtenant will first comply with the terms and provisions set forth in Section
9.6 of the Xxxxxxxxx.
44
ARTICLE 15
DESTRUCTION--FIRE OR OTHER CAUSE
Section 15.01 If the Building shall be partially damaged or
destroyed, or if the Leaseback Space shall be partially damaged or destroyed, by
fire, casualty or other cause, then whether or not the damage or destruction
shall have resulted from the fault or neglect of Subtenant, or its servants,
employees, agents, visitors or licensees (and if this Sublease shall not have
been cancelled as in this Article hereinafter provided), Sublandlord will
promptly and with due diligence and continuity repair the damage, and restore,
replace, and rebuild the Building and the Leaseback Space at its expense in
accordance with the provisions of the Xxxxxxxxx, after notice to it of the
damage or destruction; provided, however, that Sublandlord shall not be required
to repair or replace any of Subtenant's personal property, which repairs or
replacements to Subtenant's personal property shall be made by Subtenant, at its
own expense and subject to the provisions of this Sublease. If the Leaseback
Space shall be partially damaged or partially destroyed, the Minimum Rent and
Additional Rent payable hereunder shall be proportionately abated (on a per
square foot basis) to the extent that the Leaseback Space shall have been
rendered untenantable or unfit for the conduct of Subtenant's business in
substantially the manner in which such business was being conducted immediately
prior to such casualty, and if Subtenant does not occupy such damaged or
destroyed part of the Leaseback Space for the conduct of business, for the
period from the date of such damage or destruction (the "Damage Date") to the
date that the damage shall be repaired or restored. If the Leaseback Space or a
major part thereof shall be totally, or substantially totally, damaged or
destroyed or rendered completely, or substantially completely, untenantable or
unfit for the conduct of Subtenant's business in substantially the manner in
which such business was being conducted immediately prior to such fire, casualty
or other cause then the Minimum Rent and Additional Rent shall completely xxxxx
as of the Damage Date until Sublandlord shall repair, restore, replace and
rebuild the Leaseback Space as provided in the first sentence of this Section
15.01; provided, however, that, should Subtenant reoccupy a portion of the
Leaseback Space for the purpose of conducting business during the period the
restoration work is taking place pursuant to this Section 15.01 and prior to the
date when the same is made completely tenantable, Minimum Rent and Additional
Rent shall be apportioned and be payable by Subtenant in proportion to the part
of the Leaseback Space occupied by it.
Section 15.02 Within sixty (60) days after total or substantially
total damage or destruction to the Leaseback Space or a major part thereof,
Sublandlord shall deliver to Subtenant a statement prepared by a reputable
contractor or architect setting forth such party's estimate of the time required
to repair such damage. If the estimated period exceeds thirty-six (36) months
from the Damage Date, Subtenant may elect to terminate this Sublease by notice
to Sublandlord not later than sixty (60) days following receipt of such
statement. Such architect's estimate shall not assume the use by Sublandlord of
any overtime labor unless Sublandlord agrees to employ same. If Subtenant shall
reasonably dispute whether the restoration may or may not be completed by
Sublandlord within thirty-six (36) months from the date of the casualty, the
determination of whether the restoration may or may not be completed within said
period of thirty-six (36) months shall be determined by the Appropriate
Construction Manager, and the sixty (60) day period for giving of a notice of
termination shall commence upon the receipt by Sublandlord and Subtenant of such
Appropriate Construction Manager's estimate of such rebuilding time. In any case
of total or substantially total damage or destruction to the Leaseback Space or
a major part thereof, Subtenant
45
shall have the right to terminate this Sublease if Sublandlord shall not have
completed the repair or restoration thereof within thirty-six (36) months after
the Damage Date unless the estimated period for such repair and restoration was
calculated to exceed thirty-six (36) months in accordance with the foregoing
provisions of this Section 15.02, and Subtenant shall not have exercised its
termination right.
Section 15.03 In case the Leaseback Space shall be substantially
damaged or destroyed by fire or other cause at any time during the last two (2)
years of the then term of this Sublease, then either Sublandlord or Subtenant
may cancel this Sublease and the term hereby granted upon written notice to the
other party hereto given within sixty (60) days after such damage or
destruction; provided, that neither Sublandlord nor Subtenant shall have the
right to cancel this Sublease if, prior to the Damage Date or within sixty (60)
days after the Damage Date: (I) Subtenant shall have delivered, or shall
deliver, to Sublandlord notice (a "Subtenant Extension Notice") of its
irrevocable election to extend this Sublease pursuant to Section 19.01 hereof,
and (II) Sublandlord, as Tenant under the Xxxxxxxxx, shall have delivered, or
shall deliver, to Overlandlord, notice (a "Sublandlord Extension Notice") of
its irrevocable election to extend the Xxxxxxxxx pursuant to Article 29 of the
Xxxxxxxxx. If both the Subtenant and Sublandlord Extension Notices shall have
been duly given, then neither Sublandlord nor Subtenant may elect to terminate
this Sublease with respect to any portions of the Leaseback Space which is the
subject of such extension, other than on the basis set forth in Section 15.02 of
this Sublease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (a) only Subtenant shall have
duly given a Subtenant Extension Notice, but Sublandlord shall not have given a
Sublandlord Extension Notice, and (b) Sublandlord shall have timely delivered to
Subtenant a notice to terminate this Sublease pursuant to the provisions of
Section 15.03, then Sublandlord shall have the right to terminate this Sublease
in accordance with such termination notice, provided and on condition that
within ten (10) Business Days after the later of Sublandlord's receipt of the
Extension Notice or Sublandlord's giving of the termination notice, Sublandlord,
as Tenant under the Xxxxxxxxx, shall deliver to Subtenant, as Overlandlord, a
notice irrevocably waiving all of Sublandlord's rights to extend the term of the
Xxxxxxxxx pursuant to Article 29 of the Xxxxxxxxx. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in the event Subtenant elects to make the repairs to the Leaseback
Space, this Sublease shall continue (subject to the rent abatements provided
herein) and Sublandlord shall pay to Subtenant the insurance proceeds from
Sublandlord's insurer plus the amount of any deductible.
Section 15.04 Except to the extent expressly set forth in this
Article 1 5, neither Sublandlord nor Subtenant shall have any right to terminate
this Sublease in the event of fire or other casualty. Furthermore,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 15, as long as MetLife

CONDEMNATION
Section 16.01 Total Taking. In the event of the Taking of the entire
Leaseback Space, this Sublease, the Sublease Term and the estate hereby granted
shall forthwith cease and terminate as of the date of vesting of title (the
"date of taking"), and the award in condemnation shall be divided and
distributed in accordance with the provisions of Article 16 of the Xxxxxxxxx.
Section 16.02 Partial Taking.
(a) In the event that any part of the Leaseback Space shall be
so condemned or taken, then this Sublease shall be and remain unaffected by such
condemnation or taking, except that the Minimum Rent and Additional Rent
allocable to the part so taken shall be apportioned (on a per square foot basis)
as of the date of taking, provided, however, that (a) Subtenant may elect to
cancel this Sublease (i) in the event the area of the Leaseback Space remaining
following the condemnation or taking shall not be sufficient, in the reasonable
judgment of Subtenant, to enable Subtenant to continue the operation of its
business therein in substantially the manner in which such business was being
conducted immediately prior to such taking, or (ii) if such taking materially
adversely impairs the means of access to the Leaseback Space or the entrances or
lobby of the Tower or Building. Upon such partial taking and this Sublease
continuing in force as to any part of the Leaseback Space not so taken, the
Minimum Rent and Additional Rent shall be adjusted proportionately. If as a
result of the partial taking (and this Sublease continuing in force as to the
part of the Leaseback Space not so taken) such part is damaged, Sublandlord
agrees to promptly restore the damaged portion remaining after the taking, to
the condition existing immediately prior to the taking.
47
(b) In the event of a Taking which does not result in a
termination of this Sublease pursuant to this Section 16.02, this Sublease shall
terminate and expire with respect only to the portion of the Leaseback Space so
taken, on and as of the date of taking. In all other respects this Sublease
shall remain in full force and effect except that Subtenant shall be entitled,
after such date, to a reduction in the Minimum Rent and Additional Rent in the
proportion which the area of the Leaseback Space so taken bears to the total
area of the Leaseback Space at the time of such Taking.
(c) Nothing hereinabove provided shall (in the event the
Sublease is terminated as above provided) preclude Subtenant from appearing,
claiming, proving and receiving in the condemnation proceeding, Subtenant's
moving expenses, and the value of Subtenant's personal property. In the event
that Subtenant is not permitted to make a separate claim for such items in such
proceeding, Sublandlord shall prosecute all claims in such proceeding on behalf
of both Sublandlord and Subtenant, in which event Subtenant may, if it so elects
and at its expense, join with Sublandlord in such proceeding, retain co-counsel,
attend hearings, present arguments and generally participate in the conduct of
the proceeding; provided, however, that, if Sublandlord incurs any additional
expense because of Subtenant's exercising its fights under this sentence,
Subtenant will bear such additional expense.
(d) Sublandlord, at its sole cost and expense and whether or
not the proceeds shall be sufficient for the purpose, shall proceed, within
forty (40) days after such Taking, with diligence and continuity, to repair,
alter (including any necessary demolition and reconstruction) and restore the
remaining part of the Leaseback Space to substantially their former condition,
so as to constitute a complete structure suitable for the purposes the Leaseback
Space are being used for as of the date hereof. All repairs, alterations,
restorations or demolition conducted by Sublandlord as a result of a partial

whole or any part of the Leaseback Space or of Subtenant's interest in this
Sublease for a temporary use or occupancy, the Sublease Term shall not be
reduced or affected in any way; provided, however, that the Rents allocable to
the period of such temporary taking shall be abated. Subtenant shall continue to
perform and observe all of the other terms of this Sublease (other than the
payment of Minimum Rent and Additional Rent) as though such temporary taking had
not occurred to the extent that such performance and observance is reasonably
practicable without possession of the Leaseback Space. Sublandlord shall be
entitled to the portion of the award or compensation for such temporary Taking
equal to the Rents payable hereunder during the period covered, and Subtenant
shall be entitled to the portion of the award or compensation for such temporary
Taking equal to the reasonable and actual expenses that Subtenant incurs in
connection with relocation to alternate space for the period of such temporary
Taking.
48
Section 16.04 Arbitration. If the order or decree in any
condemnation or similar proceedings shall fail to determine the separate amounts
to be awarded to those who are entitled to such amounts hereunder, and if
Sublandlord and Subtenant do not agree thereon within thirty (30) days after the
final award or awards shall have been fixed and determined, such separate
amounts shall be determined by arbitration, but the arbitrators shall be bound
by the provisions of this Article 16 in the division of such award or awards.
Section 16.05 Right to Appear. Sublandlord and Subtenant shall each
have the right, at their own expense, to appear in any condemnation proceeding
and to participate in any and all hearings, trials and appeals therein.
Section 16.06 Notice. In the event Sublandlord or Subtenant shall
receive notice of any proposed or pending Taking affecting the Leaseback Space,
the party receiving such notice shall promptly notify the other party of the
receipt and contents thereof.
Section 16.07 Termination. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Article 16, Subtenant agrees that as long as MetLife is the

day following the last day of the First Extension Term (provided the First
Extension Term shall not have been theretofore terminated) and the third of
which periods (the "Third Extension Term") shall commence on the day following
the last day of the Second Extension Term (provided the Second Extension Term

thirty-six (36) months prior to the last day of the (i) initial Sublease Term,
in the case of the First Extension Term, (ii) the First Extension Term, in the
case of the Second Extension Term and (iii) the Second Extension Term, in the
case of the Third Extension Term, give to Sublandlord written notice (the
"Exercise Notice"), pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of Article 26

Sublandlord shall give Subtenant a notice thereof (the "Reminder Notice")
advising Subtenant that Subtenant is required to exercise its option with
respect to the Extension Term in question by giving notice to Sublandlord within
thirty (30) days from the giving of the Reminder Notice. If Subtenant shall fail
to give the Exercise Notice within the 30-day period after the giving of the
Reminder Notice, Subtenant's right to extend shall be conclusively deemed to
have been waived and the Sublease Term shall not be extended beyond the
established Sublease Expiration Date provided for under this Sublease. At the
request of either party following the exercise of an appropriate option to
extend, both parties agree to execute a confirmatory agreement confirming the
extension and the newly extended Sublease Expiration Date and, if application,
the Renewal Option Space however, neither Sublandlord's nor Subtenant's failure
to execute or deliver any such instruments shall vitiate the effect of the

performance of any obligation of Sublandlord under this Sublease to perform any
service to or make any repair or
55
alteration in the Leaseback Space and such default shall continue for a period
in excess of thirty (30) days following the giving of written notice by
Subtenant to Sublandlord (or, (A) if such default is of a nature that it cannot
reasonably be cured within such 30-day period, if Sublandlord shall fail to
commence the cure within such 30-day period and thereafter diligently pursue
such cure to completion or (B) if such default is of an emergency nature, then
such thirty (30) day period shall be reduced to a reasonable period given the
circumstances of the default) and if such default shall impair Subtenant's
ability to use the Leaseback Space for the conduct of its business, then, to the
extent that such default can be cured by the performance of work entirely within

use and storage of such Hazardous Material if such continued use and storage
shall materially increase the costs and expenses for which Subtenant is
obligated to indemnify Sublandlord pursuant to Section 21.01 or entails a
material risk of such increased cost or expense or if such continued use exposes
Sublandlord to any risk of criminal liability.
Section 21.04 Investigations. Subtenant shall promptly notify

or any subpoenas it receives from any Public Authority with respect to the
Leaseback Space in connection with Hazardous Materials or Subtenant's business
