Right to Expand. |

8
not such tenant has a right to renew) its occupancy of such space. If there is any Available Space, Landlord shall, at such time as Landlord shall elect so long as Tenant’s rights hereunder are preserved, deliver to Tenant written notice (the “Expansion Notice”) of such Available Space (“Identified Space”), together with the terms and conditions (including base rent) on which Landlord is prepared to lease Tenant such Identified Space, provided that the base rent payable with respect to the Identified Space shall be at the Market Rate (as defined in Section 6(b) above.

Tenant shall have 10 days following delivery of the Expansion Notice to deliver to Landlord written notification of Tenant’s exercise of the Expansion Right with respect to the Identified Space (“Exercise Notice”). If the parties are unable to agree on the Market Rate payable with respect to the Identified Space within 30 days after Tenant’s delivery to Landlord of an Exercise Notice, then the Market Rate payable with respect to Identified Space shall be determined by arbitration pursuant to Section 40(b) of the original Lease. The term of the Lease with respect to the Available Space shall be co-terminous with the Term of the Lease for the existing Premises; provided, however, that (1) if less than 3 years are remaining in the Base Term of the Lease at the time Landlord delivers an Expansion Notice, then Tenant’s exercise of the Expansion Right with respect to the Identified Space shall be contingent on Tenant’s exercising its first Extension Right simultaneously with its Exercise Notice, and (2) if less than 3 years are remaining in the first Extension Term at the time Landlord delivers an Expansion Notice, then Tenant’s exercise of the Expansion Right with respect to the Identified Space shall be contingent on Tenant’s exercising its second Extension Right simultaneously with its Exercise Notice. Tenant’s failure to deliver an Exercise Notice to Landlord shall be deemed to be an election by Tenant not to exercise Tenant’s Expansion Right with respect to the Identified Space, in which case Landlord shall have the right to lease the Identified Space to any third party on any terms and conditions acceptable to Landlord; provided, however, that if (x) Landlord intends to lease the Identified Space to a third party for less than ninety percent (90%) of the net effective rent contained in the Expansion Notice, or (y) Landlord fails to enter into an agreement to lease the Identified Space within 9 months after Landlord’s delivery of the applicable Expansion Notice to Tenant, then prior to leasing the Identified Space to a third party, Landlord shall again give Tenant an Expansion Notice and Tenant shall again have its Expansion Right with respect to such Identified Space, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 14(a). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Tenant’s Expansion Right shall be null and void and of no further force or effect after (i) the date that is 9 months prior to the expiration date of the Base Term if Tenant has not exercised its first Extension Right pursuant to Section 40(a) of the original Lease, and (ii) the date that is 9 months prior to the expiration of the first Extension Term if Tenant has not exercised its second Extension Right pursuant to Section 40(a) of the original Lease.
b.Amended Lease. If: (i) Tenant fails to timely deliver notice accepting the terms of an Expansion Notice, or (ii) after the expiration of a period of 15 days after Landlord’s delivery to Tenant of a proposed amendment to this Lease, no lease amendment for the Identified Space acceptable to both parties each in their reasonable discretion has been executed, Tenant shall be deemed to have forever waived its right to lease such Identified Space; provided, however, that so long as the parties are diligently negotiating the terms of such proposed amendment in good faith, such 15 day period shall be extended on a day-for-day basis until either an amendment is executed by the parties or the date either party elects to cease negotiating an amendment.
c.Exceptions. Notwithstanding the above, the Expansion Right shall, at Landlord’s option, not be in effect and may not be exercised by Tenant:
(i)during any period of time that Tenant is in Default under any provision of the Lease; or
(ii)if Tenant has been in Default under any provision of the Lease 3 or more times, whether or not the Defaults are cured, during the 12 month period prior to the date on which Tenant seeks to exercise the Expansion Right.
9
d.Termination. The Expansion Right shall, at Landlord’s option, terminate and be of no further force or effect even after Tenant’s due and timely exercise of the Expansion Right if, after such exercise, but prior to the commencement date of the lease of such Available Space, (i) Tenant fails to timely cure any default by Tenant under the Lease; or (ii) Tenant has Defaulted 3 or more times during the period from the date of the exercise of the Expansion Right to the date of the commencement of the lease of the Available Space, whether or not such Defaults are cured.
e.Subordinate. Tenant’s rights in connection with the Expansion Right are and shall be subject to and subordinate to any existing expansion or extension rights granted to any existing tenant of the Building.
f.Rights Personal. The Expansion Right is personal to Tenant and are not assignable without Landlord’s consent, which may be granted or withheld in Landlord’s sole discretion separate and apart from any consent by Landlord to an assignment of Tenant’s interest in the Lease, except that they may be assigned in connection with any Permitted Assignment of this Lease.
g.No Extensions. The period of time within which the Expansion Right may be exercised shall not be extended or enlarged by reason of Tenant’s inability to exercise the Expansion Right.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Lease or the Seventh Amendment, Landlord shall cause, at Landlord’s sole cost and expense (provided that nothing herein shall preclude Landlord from pursuing any prior tenants or third parties for reimbursement of such costs), the remediation, in a manner acceptable to Landlord in its reasonable discretion and otherwise in compliance with Legal Requirements, of Hazardous Materials not caused by Tenant or any Tenant Party requiring remediation pursuant to Legal Requirements discovered in the Sixth Expansion Premises or the Seventh Expansion Premises during the construction of the Seventh Amendment Tenant Improvements.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Lease, Landlord shall not be entitled to a construction management fee, oversight fee or supervisions fee in connection with the Seventh Amendment Tenant Improvements or the Seventh Amendment Alterations. In the event that Landlord incurs actual out-of—pocket costs in connection with Landlord’s review of plans and specifications for the Seventh Amendment Tenant Improvements and the Seventh Amendment Alterations, the maximum amount that Tenant shall be required to reimburse Landlord for such review shall be $10,000.00.
(d)Excess TI Costs. Landlord shall have no obligation to bear any portion of the cost of any of the Seventh Amendment Tenant Improvements except to the extent of the TI Allowance (and the Restroom Allowance, the Staircase Allowance and the Base Building Allowance, as applicable). If at any time and from time-to-time, the remaining TI Costs under the Budget exceed the remaining unexpended TI Allowance (and the Restroom Allowance, the Staircase Allowance and the Base Building Allowance, as applicable) (collectively, “Excess TI Costs”), monthly disbursements of the TI Allowance shall be made in the proportion that the remaining TI Allowance bears to the outstanding TI Costs under the Budget, and Tenant shall fund the balance of each such monthly draw. For purposes of any litigation instituted with regard to such amounts, those amounts required to be paid by Tenant will be deemed Rent under the Lease. The TI Allowance, the Restroom Allowance, the Staircase Allowance, the Base Building Allowance and Excess TI Costs are herein referred to as the “TI Fund.” Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 5(d), Tenant shall be fully and solely liable for TI Costs and the cost of Minor Variations in excess of the TI Allowance.
