Space as shown on Exhibit A-2 (the “Mechanical Space”) shall be delivered to Tenant
on the date which is the later of (i) the Commencement Date and (ii) the date which is 120 days

following the 1270 Delivery Date, the Rent Commencement Date (with respect to the 1270 Space only)
shall be postponed by one (1) day; provided that such 1-day
10
postponement shall not apply to the extent that any such delay in delivery was due to a Tenant

the 1270 Space to Tenant is later than the 1270 Delivery Date, Landlord shall provide Tenant with
not less than five (5) Business Days’ notice of the date (the “1270 Space Availability

such work, and (ii) such work shall be done only during hours designated by Landlord.
Section 5.8 Legal Compliance. The approval of plans or specifications, or the consent
by Landlord to the making of any Alterations, does not constitute Landlord’s agreement or
representation that such plans, specifications or Alterations comply with any Requirements or the
certificate of occupancy issued for the Buildings. Any review by Landlord of any plans and/or
specifications or any preparation or design of any plans or specifications by Landlord’s architect
or engineer (or any architect or engineer designated by Landlord) with respect to any Alteration is
solely for Landlord’s benefit, and without any representation or warranty whatsoever to Tenant or
to any other Person with respect to the compliance thereof with any Requirements, the adequacy,
correctness or efficiency thereof or otherwise. If, as the result of any Alterations made by or on

Landlord in connection with such alterations or improvements as provided in Article 21.
Landlord, upon reviewing Tenant’s plans, shall endeavor to identify any such alterations or

all reasonable, third-party, out-of-pocket costs and expenses actually incurred by Landlord in so
doing shall be paid by Tenant as provided in
Article 21.
(c) Tenant’s Acts and Omissions. Subject to Section 13.3, Tenant, at its
expense, shall make any and all repairs to the Premises required by reason of Tenant’s negligent
acts or omissions or willful malfeasance. Subject to Section 13.3, Landlord, at Tenant’s
expense (equal to the reasonable, third party, out-of-pocket expenses actually incurred by landlord
with respect to which Landlord shall provide reasonable documentation), shall make any and all
repairs to the other portions of the Center required by reason of Tenant’s negligent acts or
omissions or willful malfeasance.
27
Section 7.3 Interruptions Due to Repairs. Landlord reserves the right to make all
changes, alterations, additions, improvements, repairs or replacements to the Ancillary Buildings
and the Center, including the Building Systems which provide services to Tenant, as Landlord deems
necessary or desirable; provided that, as to the Music Hall, Landlord shall only make such changes,
alterations, additions, improvements, repairs and replacements (a) as are its responsibility or
which Tenant fails to make and Landlord furnishes a notice requesting such repair or replacement as
provided in Section 7.2(a) and (b) or, (b) which Landlord has the right to make
following an Event of Default by Tenant or (c) which Landlord, in its good faith judgment, deems
necessary in the event of an emergency, and, provided further, in no event shall the level of any
Building service decrease in any material respect from the level required of Landlord in this lease
as a result thereof (other than temporary changes in the level of such services during the
performance of any such work by Landlord), nor shall there be a denial of Tenant’s access to the
Premises except in the event of any emergency to the extent that no practicable alternative exists.
Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to minimize interference with Tenant’s use and occupancy of
the Premises during the making of such changes, alterations, additions, improvements, repairs or
replacements, provided that Landlord shall have no obligation to employ contractors or labor at
overtime or other premium pay rates or to incur any other overtime costs or additional expenses
whatsoever; provided further, with respect to the Music Hall only, Landlord shall, except in the
case of an emergency, schedule any work or other such matters so as not to interfere with
performances being staged at the Music Hall and, if circumstances demand overtime or other premium
pay rates in order to accommodate such scheduling, the same shall be so performed to the extent
practicable on an overtime basis and Tenant shall pay all of Landlord’s actual out-of-pocket costs
incurred in connection with performing such work on an overtime basis. Without limiting the
foregoing, Landlord shall schedule its routine maintenance during periods of the year other than
when the Radio City
28
Christmas Spectacular is being performed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in circumstances
where Landlord is not required to employ contractors or labor on an overtime basis, to the extent
practicable, and provided Tenant shall agree to pay all actual, third party, out-of-pocket costs
incurred by Landlord in excess of the costs Landlord would have otherwise incurred on a straight
time basis. Except to the extent, if any, expressly provided for in this Lease, there shall be no
Rent abatement or allowance to Tenant for a diminution of rental value, no actual or constructive
eviction of Tenant, in whole or in part, no relief from any of Tenant’s other obligations under
this Lease, and no liability on the part of Landlord, by reason of inconvenience, annoyance or
injury to business arising from Landlord, Tenant or others making, or failing to make, any repairs,
alterations, additions or improvements in or to any portion of the Center, the Buildings or the
Premises, or in or to fixtures, appurtenances or equipment therein.
ARTICLE 8
INCREASES IN REAL ESTATE TAXES
Section 8.1 Definitions. As used in this Article:
(a) “Base Tax Factor” means the quotient, expressed in dollars and cents, of (i) the
Taxes payable for the Base Tax Year, divided by (ii) the Center Tax Area for the Base Tax Year.
(b) “Center Tax Area” means the number of square feet in the rentable area of the
Center for which Taxes are payable by Landlord or any Affiliate of Landlord, excluding the rentable
area of any space in the Center not owned by Landlord or any Affiliate of Landlord or for which
Taxes are not payable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall from time to time:
29
(i) subtract from the Center Tax Area the rentable area of space in the Center for
which Taxes are not payable by Landlord or an Affiliate of Landlord; and
(ii) add to the Center Tax Area to include additional rentable area of the Center for
which Taxes are payable by Landlord or an Affiliate of Landlord.
(c) “Landlord’s Statement” means an instrument or instruments containing a comparison
of the Base Tax Factor and the Tax Factor for any Tax Year.
(d) “Taxes” means the taxes and assessments paid or payable with respect to the
Center, including assessments made as a result of the Center or any part thereof being within a
business improvement district, other than any interest or penalties imposed in connection
therewith, and all expenses, including fees and disbursements of counsel and experts, reasonably
incurred by Landlord in connection with any application for a reduction in the assessed valuation
for the Center or for a judicial review thereof (but in no event shall such expenses be included in
Taxes payable for the Base Tax Year); provided that, except to the extent provided in the next
sentence, Taxes shall not include franchise, income, profit or estate taxes. If due to a future
change in the method of taxation any franchise, income, profit or other tax shall be levied in
substitution in whole or in part for or in lieu of any tax which would otherwise constitute a Tax,
such franchise, income, profit or other tax shall be deemed to be a Tax for the purposes of this
Lease. With respect to assessments which may be paid in installments, Landlord shall elect to pay
them in the maximum number of installments and each of such installments together with all interest
imposed thereon by the applicable governmental authority shall be deemed to be included in Taxes
for the period to which such installment relates. To the extent that expenses incurred by Landlord
in connection with any application for a reduction in assessed valuation of the Center are
reimbursed to Landlord by including same in the definition of Taxes for a particular Tax Year, the
same shall not also be deducted from the
30
amount of any refund that Landlord may obtain for such Tax Year so as to avoid any so-called
“double-counting” of the same expense. If there is an abatement applicable to the Center solely by
reason of the Music Hall constituting a portion thereof, such abatement shall be considered in
computing Taxes, but no other exemptions or abatements shall be so considered.
(e) “Tax Factor” means the quotient, expressed in dollars and cents, of (i) the Taxes
payable for any Tax Year subsequent to the Base Tax Year, divided by (ii) the Center Tax Area for
such Tax Year.
(f) “
Tax Year” means the 12 month period commencing July 1 of each year, or such other
12 month period as may be duly adopted as the fiscal year for real estate tax purposes by the City
of
New York.
Section 8.2 Tax Payments. (a) If the Tax Factor for any Tax Year exceeds the Base
Tax Factor, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent during each Tax Year, an amount
(“Tenant’s Tax Payment”) equal to (i) Tenant’s Area, multiplied by (ii) the amount by which
the Tax Factor for such Tax Year exceeds the Base Tax Factor. Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a
Landlord’s Statement setting forth Landlord’s computation of Tenant’s Tax Payment for such Tax
Year. Tenant shall pay to Landlord on June 1 and December 1 of each calendar year (or on such other
dates as shall be thirty (30) days prior to each date that an installment of Taxes becomes due) an
amount equal to 1/2 (or such portion of Taxes which may be due on such date) of Tenant’s Tax
Payment for such Tax Year. Landlord may, at any time, furnish to Tenant a revised Landlord’s
Statement of Landlord’s computation of Tenant’s Tax Payment for a particular Tax Year, and in such
case, (A) if such Landlord’s Statement shall show that the sums theretofore paid by Tenant were
less than the sums which should have been paid on account of Tenant’s Tax Payment for such Tax
Year, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount of such deficiency in Tenant’s Tax Payment within ten
(10) Business Days after such Landlord’s
31
Statement is furnished to Tenant, or (B) if such Landlord’s Statement shall show that the sums
so paid by Tenant were more than the sums that should have been paid on account of Tenant’s Tax
Payment for such Tax Year, Landlord shall credit such overpayment in Tenant’s Tax Payment against
subsequent installments of Rent payable by Tenant or, if at the end of the Term, promptly refund
such amount to Tenant. If there shall be any increase in the Taxes for any Tax Year, whether during
or after such Tax Year, or if there shall be any decrease in the Taxes for any Tax Year, Landlord
shall notify Tenant thereof and Tenant’s Tax Payment for such Tax Year shall be appropriately
adjusted and any deficiencies paid or overpayments credited, as the case may be, substantially in
the same manner as provided in the preceding sentence.
(b) Tenant shall be obligated to pay Tenant’s Tax Payment regardless of whether Tenant may be
exempt from the payment of taxes as the result of any reduction, abatement, or exemption from Taxes
granted or agreed to by any Governmental Authority, or by reason of Tenant’s diplomatic status or
other tax exempt status. The benefit of any discount for any early payment of Taxes shall accrue
solely to the benefit of Landlord.
(c) Tenant shall not (and hereby waives any and all rights it may now or hereafter have to)
institute or maintain any action, proceeding or application in any court or other body having the
power to fix or review assessed valuations, for the purpose of reducing Taxes, and the filing of
any such proceeding by Tenant without Landlord’s consent shall be a default hereunder.
(d) Upon Tenant’s request and provided that Landlord shall theretofore have received a copy of
the tax xxxx(s) relating to the Center for a particular Tax Year, Landlord shall promptly furnish a
copy of such tax xxxx to Tenant.
32
(e) Upon Tenant’s request, in the event Landlord shall have adjusted the Center Tax Area
pursuant to Section 8.1(b) above, Landlord shall advise Tenant as to the basis for such
adjustment and the basis for such adjustment shall be consistent with the basis for adjustments
being made generally with respect to tenants in the Center with respect to whom an adjustment in
the Center Tax Area is then being made.
Section 8.3 Certain Adjustments. (a) Taxes shall not include any taxes and
assessments imposed upon any portion of the Center excluded from the calculation of the Center Tax
Area pursuant to Section 8.1(b) above.
(b) If the Rent Commencement Date shall be a day other than July 1 or the Expiration Date
shall be a day other than June 30, or if there is any abatement of Fixed Rent payable under this
Lease (other than any abatement under Article 1 hereof) or any termination of this Lease
(other than a termination pursuant to Article 19), or if there is any increase or decrease
in Tenant’s Area or a change in the basis of computing Tenant’s Tax Payment for any Tax Year, then
in each such event in applying the provisions of this Article with respect to the Tax Year in which
the event occurred, appropriate adjustments shall be made to reflect the result of such event on a
basis consistent with the principles underlying the provisions of this Article, taking into
consideration (i) the portion of such Tax Year, as the case may be, which shall have elapsed prior
to or after such event, (ii) the rentable area of the Premises affected thereby, and (iii) the
duration of such event.
Section 8.4 Non-Waiver. Landlord’s failure to render a Landlord’s Statement on a
timely basis with respect to any Tax Year shall not prejudice Landlord’s right to thereafter render
a Landlord’s Statement with respect to such Tax Year or any subsequent Tax Year, nor shall the
rendering of a Landlord’s Statement prejudice Landlord’s right to thereafter render a corrected
Landlord’s Statement for any Tax Year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Landlord
33
fails to deliver a Landlord’s Statement for a particular Tax Year and such failure continues
for two (2) years after the close of such Tax Year, then Landlord shall have waived its right
thereafter to deliver a Landlord’s Statement with respect to such Tax Year (but not as to
subsequent Tax Years).
Section 8.5 Tenant Disputes. Each Landlord’s Statement sent to Tenant shall be
conclusively binding upon Tenant unless Tenant shall (i) within 30 days after such statement is
sent, pay to Landlord the amount set forth in such statement, without prejudice to Tenant’s right
to dispute such statement, and (ii) within 180 days after such statement is sent, send a notice to
Landlord objecting to such statement and specifying the reasons for Tenant’s claim that such
statement is incorrect. If the parties are unable to resolve any such dispute within 30 days
following the giving of Tenant’s notice of objection, either party may refer the issues raised to
an independent firm of certified public accountants selected by Landlord (but not Landlord’s
regular accountant) and reasonably acceptable to Tenant, and the decision of such accountants shall
be conclusively binding upon Landlord and Tenant. In connection therewith, Tenant and such
accountants shall execute and deliver to Landlord a confidentiality agreement, in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, whereby such parties agree not to disclose to any
third party any of the information that is not otherwise public obtained in connection with such
review, or the substance of any admissions or stipulations by any party in connection therewith, or
of any resulting reconciliation, compromise or settlement.
ARTICLE 9
REQUIREMENTS OF LAW
Section 9.1 (a) Tenant’s Compliance/Landlord’s Compliance. Tenant, at its expense,
shall comply (or cause to be complied) with all Requirements applicable to those portions of the
Premises for which Tenant shall be responsible, regardless of whether imposed
34
by their terms upon Landlord or Tenant. If Tenant obtains knowledge of any failure to comply
with any Requirements applicable to those portions of the Premises for which Tenant shall be
responsible for the repair and maintenance as provided in this Lease, Tenant shall use reasonable
efforts to give Landlord prompt notice thereof. All repairs and alterations, ordinary or
extraordinary, required to be made to cause the Premises to comply with any Requirements shall be
made by Tenant, at Tenant’s expense and in compliance with Article 5 if such repairs or
alterations do not affect any Building System, and do not involve the performance of work outside
of the Premises, or, at Landlord’s election, by Landlord, at Tenant’s expense in an amount equal to
the reasonable, third party, out-of-pocket expenses actually incurred by Landlord (based upon
reasonable supporting documentation), if such repairs or alterations affect any Building System, or
involve the performance of work outside the Premises. Any cost incurred by Landlord to repair or
alter, whether structural or nonstructural, ordinary or extraordinary, (i) the Premises to comply
with Requirements or (ii) any other portion or portions of the Buildings or the Center, which
repair or alteration results from Tenant’s use of the Premises, shall be reimbursed by Tenant as
Additional Rent within 30 days after Landlord’s demand therefor. Landlord, at its expense, shall
comply (or cause to be complied) with all Requirements applicable to the Premises or Buildings
other than those with which Tenant or other tenants of the Buildings shall be required to comply,
if Landlord’s failure to do so would have a material and adverse effect on Tenant’s occupancy.
(b) Hazardous Materials. Tenant shall not (i) cause or permit any Hazardous Materials
to be brought into or onto the Center, (ii) cause or permit the storage or use of Hazardous
Materials in any manner not permitted by any Requirements, or (iii) cause or permit the escape,
disposal or release of any Hazardous Materials within or in the vicinity of the Center. Nothing
herein shall be deemed to prevent Tenant’s use of any Hazardous Materials customarily used in the
ordinary course of using the Premises for the Permitted Uses, provided
35
such use is in accordance with all Requirements. Tenant shall be responsible, at its expense,
for the cost of compliance with all Requirements and for all fines, violations and any other such
charges, which arise or result from, the actual or alleged presence of Hazardous Materials (A) in
the Premises and (B) in the Buildings or the Center, provided, as to this clause (B), Tenant shall
only be responsible to the extent the actual or alleged presence of Hazardous Substance is caused
or permitted by Tenant or any Tenant Party. Tenant shall provide to Landlord copies of all
communications received by Tenant with respect to any Requirements relating to Hazardous Materials,
and any claims made in connection therewith. Landlord or its agents may perform environmental
inspections of the Premises at any time.
(c) Landlord’s Insurance. Tenant shall not cause or permit or suffer any action or
condition that would (i) invalidate or conflict with Landlord’s insurance policies which
contemplate a live entertainment use for the Music Hall, (ii) violate applicable rules, regulations
and guidelines of the Fire Department, Fire Insurance Rating Organization or any other authority
having jurisdiction over the Center, (iii) cause an increase in the premiums for fire insurance
then covering the Buildings over that payable with respect to comparable first-class office
buildings or theaters, or (iv) result in insurance companies of good standing refusing to insure
the Buildings or any property therein in amounts and against risks as reasonably determined by
Landlord. If the fire insurance premiums increase as a result of Tenant’s failure to comply with
the provisions of this Article, Tenant shall promptly cure such failure and shall reimburse
Landlord for the increased fire insurance premiums paid by Landlord as a result of such failure by
Tenant, provided that Landlord shall furnish reasonable supporting documentation therefor. If it is
not practicable for Tenant to cure such failure and continue to operate the Premises for the
Permitted Uses and the only result of such failure is an increase in Landlord’s insurance premium,
then provided Tenant pays such increased premium, Tenant shall not be required to cease such action
so long as the increased premium is the only effect of such failure and,
36
provided further, in the event that (A) Landlord’s insurance carrier refuses to provide
certain insurance as a result of Tenant’s failure to comply with the provisions of this Article and
(B) a separate insurance carrier of comparable rating or which is otherwise satisfactory to
Landlord is willing to provide such insurance, Tenant shall pay any increased cost payable by
Landlord by reason of its purchase of such insurance from such separate insurance carrier. In any
action or proceeding to which Landlord and Tenant are parties, a schedule or “make up” of rates for
the Buildings or the Premises issued by the appropriate Fire Insurance Rating Organization, or
other body fixing such fire insurance rates, shall be conclusive evidence of the fire insurance
rates then applicable to the Buildings.
(d) ADA Compliance. Tenant hereby acknowledges and agrees that it is aware of the
complaint letter, dated February 9, 1995 from the United States Department of Justice to Proskauer,
Xxxx Xxxxx & Xxxxxxxxxx (the “DOJ Letter”) relating to certain violations of ADA by RCPI.
Without limiting Tenant’s obligations under Section 9.1, Tenant expressly agrees that it
shall, from and after the Execution Date and during the Term, at its own expense, comply with the
requirements of any settlement of, or any final judgment, order or decree relating to, the DOJ
Letter or any subsequent correspondence or complaint with respect to ADA compliance in the Music
Hall, including any ADA requirements relating to conditions existing prior to the Execution Date.
In consideration of the foregoing, Landlord agrees to waive its right to require Tenant to pay
Compliance Costs (as defined in the Lease Modification) up to an aggregate amount of $300,000.
Landlord shall cooperate with Tenant in connection with, and shall approve, any settlement Tenant
shall enter into pursuant to this Section 9.1(d); provided, that (i) such settlement shall
not impose any liability, obligation or expense upon Landlord and (ii) any improvements or
alterations required to be performed by Tenant pursuant to such settlement shall not affect any
area outside of the Premises. Any alterations or improvements
37
required to be performed pursuant to such settlement shall constitute a Music Hall Alteration
and be subject to the applicable terms and conditions of this Lease.
Section 9.2 Fire Alarm System; Sprinklers. Tenant shall install, and thereafter
maintain in good order and repair, a sprinkler system and fire-alarm and life-safety system in each
of the Music Hall, the 1270 Space and the 50 Rock Space (except, as to the Music Hall sprinkler
system, only to the extent required by Requirements), in accordance with this Lease, the Rules and
Regulations and all Requirements if and to the extent such systems have not been installed in the
Premises prior to the date hereof. If the Fire Insurance Rating Organization or any Governmental
Authority or any of Landlord’s insurers requires or recommends any modifications or Alterations be
made or any additional equipment be supplied in connection with the sprinkler system or fire-alarm
and life-safety system serving the Buildings or the Premises by reason of Tenant’s business, or the
location of the partitions, trade fixtures, or other contents of the Premises, Landlord (to the
extent outside of the Premises), or Tenant (to the extent within the Premises) shall make such
modifications or Alterations, and supply such additional equipment, in either case at Tenant’s
expense; provided, however, that if any such recommendation does not have the force of law and
failure to comply with such recommendation shall have no material adverse effect on Landlord other
than an increase in Landlord’s insurance premiums (which increase Tenant agrees to pay), Tenant
shall not be required to comply with such recommendation.
Section 9.3 Limitations on Rent. If, at any time during the Term, the Rent is not
fully collectible by reason of any Requirement in the nature of rent control which limits
Landlord’s right to collect the Rent provided herein, Tenant shall take such other steps as
Landlord may request, and as may be legally permissible, to permit Landlord to collect the maximum
rents which may during the continuance of such restriction be legally permissible (but
38
not in excess of the Rent reserved under this Lease). Upon the termination of such restriction
during the Term, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in addition to the Rent for the period following
such termination, if legally permissible, the portion of Rent which would have been paid pursuant
to this Lease but for such legal restriction, less the Rent paid by Tenant to Landlord while such
restriction was in effect, together with interest thereon at the Base Rate.
ARTICLE 10
QUIET ENJOYMENT
Provided this Lease is in full force and effect, Tenant may peaceably and quietly enjoy the
Premises without hindrance by Landlord or any Person lawfully claiming through or under Landlord,
subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease.
ARTICLE 11
SUBORDINATION
Section 11.1 Subordination and Attornment. (a) Subject to Section 11.5 hereof, this
Lease and Tenant’s rights hereunder are subject and subordinate to all Mortgages and Superior
Leases. At the request of any Mortgagee or Lessor, Tenant shall attorn to such Mortgagee or Lessor,
its successors in interest or any purchaser in a foreclosure sale at such time as any such party
succeeds to Landlord’s interest hereunder as Landlord. Landlord represents and warrants to Tenant
that, as of the Execution Date, there are no Superior Leases, Mortgages or Condominium Declarations
(as hereinafter defined) affecting the Premises.
(b) If a Lessor or Mortgagee or any other Person shall succeed to the rights of Landlord under
this Lease, whether through possession or foreclosure action, or the delivery of a new lease or
deed, then at the request of the successor landlord and upon such successor landlord’s written
agreement to accept Tenant’s attornment and to recognize Tenant’s interest
39
under this Lease, Tenant shall be deemed to have attorned to and recognized such successor
landlord as Landlord under this Lease. The provisions of this Article 11 are self-operative
and require no further instruments to give effect hereto; provided, however, that Tenant shall
promptly execute and deliver any instrument that such successor landlord may reasonably request
(1) evidencing such attornment, (2) setting forth the terms and conditions of Tenant’s tenancy, and
(3) containing such other terms and conditions as may be required by such Mortgagee or Lessor,
provided such terms and conditions do not increase the Rent, increase (by more than a de minimis
extent) Tenant’s non-Rent obligations or adversely affect Tenant’s rights under this Lease (by more
than a de minimis extent). Upon such attornment, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect
as a direct lease between such successor landlord and Tenant upon all of the terms, conditions and
covenants set forth in this Lease except that such successor landlord shall not be:
(i) liable for any act or omission of Landlord (except to the extent such act or
omission continues beyond the date when such successor landlord succeeds to Landlord’s
interest and Tenant gives notice of such act or omission);
(ii) subject to any defense, claim, counterclaim, set-off or offset which Tenant may
have against Landlord; provided that nothing contained herein shall be deemed to impair any
right of Tenant to a continuing abatement pursuant to Article 14 in connection with a prior
casualty;
(iii) bound by any prepayment of more than one month’s Rent to any prior landlord
except for Additional Rent on account of Taxes or, if applicable, Tenant’s Retail Operating
Expense Payment, which are paid in accordance with this Lease for a period covering more
than one month;
40
(iv) bound by any obligation to make any payment to Tenant which was required to be
made prior to the time such successor landlord succeeded to Landlord’s interest;
(v) bound by any obligation to perform any work or to make improvements to the Premises
except for (A) repairs and maintenance required to be made by the Landlord under this Lease,
and (B) repairs to the Premises as a result of damage by fire or other casualty, or partial
condemnation, pursuant to the provisions of this Lease, but only to the extent that such
repairs can reasonably be made from the net proceeds of any insurance or condemnation awards
actually made available to such successor landlord; or
(vi) bound by any modification, amendment or renewal of this Lease made without the
consent of any Lessor or Mortgagee of which Tenant has been provided notice.
(c) Any Mortgagee may elect that this Lease shall have priority over the Mortgage that it
holds and, upon notification to Tenant by such Mortgagee, this Lease shall be deemed to have
priority over such Mortgage, regardless of the date of this Lease. In connection with any financing
of the Real Property or the Center, or of the interest of the lessee under any Superior Lease,
Tenant shall consent to any reasonable modifications of this Lease requested by any lending
institution, provided such modifications do not increase the Rent, increase Tenant’s non-Rent
obligations other than to a de minimis extent or reduce or affect Tenant’s rights under this Lease
other than to a de minimis extent.
Section 11.2 Termination by Tenant. As long as any Superior Lease or Mortgage shall
exist, Tenant shall not seek to terminate this Lease by reason of any act or
41
omission of Landlord (i) until Tenant shall have given notice of such act or omission to all
Lessors and/or Mortgagees (of which Tenant has received notice) and shall state in such notice in
BOLDFACE TYPE that within 45 days of receipt thereof, such Lessor or Mortgagee must provide Tenant
a notice of its intention to seek to cure such default to preserve such Lessor’s or such
Mortgagee’s rights under this Section 11.2, and (ii) provided such Lessor and/or Mortgagee
shall, within 45 days of receipt of Tenant’s notice, notify Tenant of its intention to seek to cure
such default, until a reasonable period of time shall have elapsed following the giving of notice
of such default and the expiration of any applicable notice or grace periods (unless such act or
omission is not capable of being remedied within a reasonable period of time) during which period
such Lessors and/or Mortgagees shall have the right, but not the obligation, to remedy such act or
omission. If any Lessor or Mortgagee elects to remedy such act or omission of Landlord, Tenant
shall not seek to terminate this Lease so long as such Lessor or Mortgagee is proceeding with
reasonable diligence to effect such remedy.
Section 11.3
Future Condominium Declaration. This Lease and Tenant’s rights hereunder
will be subject and subordinate to any condominium declaration, by-laws and other instruments
(collectively, the “
Condominium Declaration”) which may hereafter be recorded in order to
subject the Buildings to a condominium form of ownership pursuant to Article 9-B of the
New York
Real Property Law or any successor statute, provided that the Condominium Declaration does not by
its terms increase the Rent, increase Tenant’s non-Rent obligations other than to a de minimis
extent or reduce Tenant’s rights or Landlord’s obligations under this Lease other than to a de
minimis extent. At Landlord’s request, and subject to the foregoing proviso, Tenant will execute
and deliver to Landlord an amendment of this Lease confirming such subordination and modifying this
Lease to conform to such condominium regime, but no such amendment shall be necessary in order to
make such subordination effective.
42
Section 11.4 Applicability. The provisions of this Article shall (i) inure to the
benefit of Landlord, any future owner of the Real Property, any Lessor or Mortgagee and any
sublessor thereof, and (ii) apply notwithstanding that, as a matter of law, this Lease may
terminate upon the termination of any Superior Lease or the foreclosure of any Mortgage.
Section 11.5 Non-Disturbance Agreements. As a condition to Tenant’s agreement
hereunder to subordinate Tenant’s interest in this Lease to any Mortgage and any Superior Lease,
Landlord shall obtain from each Mortgagee or Lessor an agreement, in recordable form in the
standard form customarily employed by such Mortgagee or Lessor (modified as reasonably required to
provide Tenant with the protections provided for in this Section 11.5 and provided that nothing
contained therein shall be inconsistent in any material respect with the terms of this Lease),
pursuant to which such Mortgagee or Lessor shall agree that if and so long as no Event of Default
hereunder shall have occurred and be continuing, the leasehold estate granted to Tenant and all of
the rights of Tenant pursuant to this Lease shall not be terminated, modified, affected or
disturbed by any action which such Mortgagee may take to foreclose any Mortgage, or which such
Lessor shall take to terminate such Superior Lease, as applicable, and that any successor landlord
shall recognize this Lease as being in full force and effect as if it were a direct lease between
such successor landlord and Tenant upon all of the terms, covenants, conditions and options granted
to Tenant under this Lease, except as otherwise provided in Section 11.1(b) hereof (any
such agreement, a “Non-Disturbance Agreement”). If (i) Landlord shall tender a
Non-Disturbance Agreement to Tenant for execution accompanied by a notice referring to this
Section 11.5 and stating that Tenant is required to execute and deliver same within ten
(10) Business Days after such tender, and Tenant shall fail or refuse to execute and deliver same
within said ten (10) Business Days, after such tender, (ii) following the expiration of such ten
(10) Business Day period, Landlord delivers to Tenant a notice setting forth such failure or
refusal, and (iii) Tenant’s failure or refusal shall continue for a
43
period of five (5) Business Days after Tenant’s receipt of the notice described in clause (ii)
above, then Landlord shall have no further obligation pursuant to this Section 11.5 with
respect to the Mortgagee or Superior Lessor which is the other party thereto, all of Landlord’s
obligations being deemed satisfied and this Lease and all rights of Tenant hereunder shall remain
subject and subordinate to the applicable Superior Lease or Mortgage without the need to deliver to
Tenant a Non-Disturbance Agreement, and no further instrument of subordination shall be required.
ARTICLE 12
SERVICES
Section 12.1 Ancillary Space Services. Landlord shall provide no services to the
Ancillary Space except as expressly stated in this Section 12.1.
(a) Elevators. Landlord shall make available to Tenant at least one freight elevator
serving the 1270 Space, the 50 Rock Space and the storage portion of Retail Space #1 upon Tenant’s
prior request, on a non-exclusive “first come, first serve” basis with other tenants of 1270 Avenue
of the Americas and/or 50 Rockefeller Plaza, on all Business Days from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon, and
from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. If Tenant shall require freight elevator service at any other times
(“Overtime Periods”), Tenant must deliver notice (which may be delivered via facsimile if
Landlord generally permits tenants in the Center to notify Landlord of the need for overtime
services using this notice method) to Landlord’s property management office serving 1270 Avenue of
the Americas and/or 50 Rockefeller Plaza, requesting such freight elevator service at least
24 hours prior to the time at which such service is to be provided, but Landlord shall use
reasonable efforts (without obligation to incur any additional cost) to arrange for freight
elevator service during Overtime Periods on such shorter notice as Tenant shall provide. Tenant
shall pay to Landlord Landlord’s then established rates for supplying freight
44
elevator service during Overtime Periods which shall be the rate charged generally to tenants
at 1270 Avenue of the Americas and/or 50 Rockefeller Plaza. In the event that Tenant desires to
provide an entrance to the Club (as defined in Article 40) through the lobby at 1270 Avenue
of the Americas, Landlord and Tenant shall cooperate with one another to reach agreement on
satisfactory arrangements which address to Landlord’s reasonable satisfaction Landlord’s security
and operational concerns regarding such usage by Tenant; provided that Landlord prohibiting any

Tenant Parties to observe such additional rules and regulations regarding rubbish removal and/or
recycling as Landlord may, from time to time, reasonably impose. If Landlord fails to cause its
contractor to remove refuse and rubbish from the loading dock in a reasonably timely manner such
that Tenant has no place to unload additional refuse and rubbish and Landlord fails to cure such
failure promptly upon being notified of same, Tenant may, at its expense, cause its own contractor
to remove such refuse and rubbish, subject to the provisions of this Lease relating to labor
harmony.
48
(c) Cleaning. Tenant shall, at its expense, cause the Music Hall to be cleaned at a
standard befitting a first class entertainment center located within the Center. The Music Hall may
be cleaned by Tenant’s employees. If Tenant shall seek to clean all or any portion of the Music

satisfaction, then Tenant shall award the contract for such cleaning services to Landlord’s
designated contractor. If Landlord’s designated contractor shall not match such bid, Landlord shall

provide such cleaning services. Any contract entered into by Tenant shall be for a period of no
more than one year at which time Landlord’s designated cleaning contractor shall again be afforded
an opportunity to bid on such work and shall be awarded such work if it is prepared to match the
bid of the cleaning contractor then being utilized by Tenant and can demonstrate its competence to
perform such cleaning to Tenant’s reasonable satisfaction.
(d) Chilled Water. Chilled Water shall be provided to the Music Hall at such times
and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Exhibit D-1 annexed hereto.
Section 12.4 Service Interruptions. Landlord reserves the right to suspend any
building service when necessary, by reason of Unavoidable Delays, accidents or emergencies, or for
repairs, alterations or improvements which, in Landlord’s reasonable
49
judgment, are necessary or appropriate, until such Unavoidable Delay, accident or emergency
shall cease or such repairs, alterations or improvements are completed, and Landlord shall not be
liable to Tenant for any interruption, curtailment or failure to supply services. Landlord shall
use reasonable efforts to restore such service, remedy such situation and minimize interference
with Tenant’s business, provided that Landlord shall have no obligation to employ contractors or
labor at overtime or other premium pay rates, or to incur any other overtime costs or additional
expenses whatsoever. The exercise of any such right or the occurrence of any such failure by
Landlord shall not (i) constitute an actual or constructive eviction, in whole or in part,
(ii) entitle Tenant to any compensation, abatement or diminution of Rent, (iii) relieve Tenant from
any of its obligations under this Lease, or (iv) impose any liability upon Landlord by reason of
inconvenience to Tenant, or interruption of Tenant’s business, or otherwise.
Section 12.5 Rent Abatement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
Section 12.4 above or elsewhere in this Lease, provided no Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, in the event that Tenant is unable to use all of the 1270 Space, all of
the 50 Rock Space or all of the Retail Space (each, an “Affected Space”), for the conduct
of Tenant’s business due solely to the failure of an Essential Service (as defined below) and
(a) after Tenant furnishes a notice to Landlord (the “Abatement Notice”) stating that
Tenant’s inability to use the Premises is solely due to such condition and such condition continues
for a period in excess of (x) 10 consecutive days if the failure to provide such Essential Service
results from a circumstance within Landlord’s control or (y) 20 consecutive days if the failure to
provide such Essential Service results from an Unavoidable Delay, (b) Tenant does not actually use
or occupy the entire Affected Space during such period and (c) such condition has not resulted from
the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or any Tenant Party, then Fixed Rent, the Retail
Operating Expense Payment and Tenant’s Tax Payment shall be abated on a per diem basis with respect
to the Affected Space (but not as to
50
the balance of the Premises) for the period commencing on the 11th day (or the
21st day, as applicable) after Tenant furnishes the Abatement Notice, and ending on the
earlier of (i) the date Tenant occupies any material portion of the Affected Space which is the
subject of such abatement for the ordinary conduct of its business or (ii) the date on which such
condition is substantially remedied. An “Essential Service” shall mean only, with respect
to each Affected Space, (i) the provision of electricity pursuant to Section 17.1, (ii) the
provision of water and steam (when seasonably required) in accordance with the terms set forth in
Section 12.1(d), and (iii) Landlord’s failure to provide chilled water during the time
periods provided in, and in accordance with the provisions of, Exhibit D-1 and
Exhibit D-2 annexed hereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Landlord shall fail to
provide chilled water to the Affected Space or the Music Hall and such chilled water can be
provided by Tenant by operation of Tenant’s Refrigeration Plant, then in lieu of any abatement
pursuant to this Section 12.5, from and after the 10th day of such failure (or the
20th day of such failure, if such failure was due to an Unavoidable Delay), Landlord
shall pay to Tenant an amount equal to the actual cost incurred by Tenant to operate its
Refrigeration Plant which Tenant would not have otherwise incurred but for Landlord’s failure to
provide said chilled water as an Essential Service. Tenant shall provide Landlord with reasonable
supporting documentation of such costs incurred and Landlord shall pay Tenant the amounts due to
Tenant hereunder within thirty (30) days of receiving such documentation.
ARTICLE 13
INSURANCE; PROPERTY LOSS OR DAMAGE; REIMBURSEMENT
Section 13.1 Tenant’s Insurance. (a) Tenant, at its expense, shall obtain and keep
in full force and effect during the Term:
51
(i) a policy of commercial general liability insurance on an occurrence basis against
claims for personal injury, death and/or property damage occurring in or about the Premises,
under which Tenant is named as the insured and Landlord, Landlord’s managing agent, any
Lessors, any Mortgagees and any other parties whose names shall have been furnished by
Landlord to Tenant from time to time are named as additional insureds, which insurance shall
provide primary coverage without contribution from any other insurance carried by or for the
benefit of Landlord, Landlord’s managing agent or any Lessors or Mortgagees named as
additional insureds, and Tenant agrees to obtain blanket broad-form contractual liability
coverage to insure its indemnity obligations set forth in Article 32 hereof. The
minimum limits of liability shall be a combined single limit with respect to each occurrence
in an amount of not less than *****; provided, however, that Landlord may require Tenant to
increase such coverage, from time to time, to that amount of insurance which in Landlord’s
reasonable judgment is then being customarily required by landlords in first-class buildings
in the City of New York with respect to the Ancillary Space and for comparable entertainment
centers in the City of New York with respect to the Music Hall. If the aggregate limit
applying to the Premises is reduced by the payment of a claim or establishment of a reserve
equal to or greater than 50% of the annual aggregate, Tenant shall immediately arrange to
have the aggregate limit restored by endorsement to the existing policy or the purchase of
an additional insurance policy unless, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, Tenant maintains
sufficient excess liability insurance to satisfy the liability requirements of this Lease
without the reinstatement of the aggregate limit;
(ii) insurance against loss or damage by fire, and such other risks and hazards as are
insurable under then available standard forms of “all risk” property insurance policies with
extended coverage, having a deductible amount, if any, as
52
reasonably approved by Landlord, insuring (A) with respect to the Ancillary Space, all
Ancillary Space Alterations and improvements to the Ancillary Space, for the full insurable
value thereof or replacement cost value thereof, (B) all of Tenant’s Property and
(C) Landlord’s Studio Apartment Property; all such insurance shall name Tenant as the
insured and, except with respect to Tenant’s insurance covering Tenant’s Property and
Landlord’s Studio Apartment Property, Landlord and any Lessors and any Mortgagees whose
names shall have been furnished by Landlord to Tenant from time to time shall be named as
additional insureds and loss payees;
(iii) during the performance of any Alteration, until completion thereof, Builder’s
risk insurance on an “all risk” basis and on a completed value form including a Permission
to Complete and Occupy endorsement, for full replacement value covering the interest of
Landlord and Tenant (and their respective contractors and subcontractors), any Mortgagee and
any Lessor in all work incorporated in the Buildings and all materials and equipment in or
about the Premises;
(iv) Workers’ Compensation Insurance, as required by law;
(v) Liquor Liability (dram shop) Insurance with a minimum limit of liability in an
amount of not less than $1,000,000 on an occurrence basis, covering bodily injury and death
to one or more persons and $100,000 in connection with property damage; and
(vi) such other insurance in such amounts as Landlord, any Mortgagee and/or any Lessor
may reasonably require from time to time for premises comparable to the Premises.
53
(b) All insurance required to be carried by Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Lease
(i) shall contain a provision that (A) no act or omission of Tenant shall affect or limit the
obligation of the insurance company to pay the amount of any loss sustained, (B) the policy shall
be noncancellable and/or no material change in coverage shall be made thereto unless Landlord,
Lessors and Mortgagees shall have received 30 days’ prior notice of the same by certified mail,
return receipt requested, and (C) Tenant shall be solely responsible for the payment of all
premiums under such policies and Landlord, Lessors and Mortgagees shall have no obligation for the
payment thereof, and (ii) shall be effected under valid and enforceable policies issued by
reputable and independent insurers permitted to do business in the State of New York, and rated in
Best’s Insurance Guide, or any successor thereto (or if there be none, an organization having a
national reputation) as having a Best’s Rating of “A-” and a “Financial Size Category” of at least
“IX” or if such ratings are not then in effect, the equivalent thereof or such other financial
rating as Landlord may at any time consider appropriate.
(c) On or prior to the Commencement Date, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord appropriate
policies of insurance (each, a “Policy”), including evidence of waivers of subrogation,
required to be carried by each party pursuant to this Article (the “Policy”). Evidence of
each renewal or replacement of a Policy shall be delivered by Tenant to Landlord at least 10 days
prior to the expiration of such Policy. The renewal or replacement of such Policy shall (i) convey
to Landlord and any other named insured and/or additional insureds thereunder (the “Insured
Parties”) all the rights and privileges afforded under the Policy as primary insurance, and
(ii) contains an unconditional obligation of the insurance company to advise all Insured Parties in
writing by certified mail, return receipt requested, at least 30 days in advance of any termination
of or change to the Policy that would affect the interest of any of the Insured Parties.
54
(d) All insurance required to be maintained by Tenant hereunder may be effected pursuant to
blanket policies covering other locations. provided that such blanket policies provide that the
amount of insurance allocable to the Premises shall at all times not be less than the amounts set
forth above and that such amounts will not be reduced by any loss at any other location, and shall
comply with the provisions of this Section 13.1.
Section 13.2 Landlord’s Insurance Obligation. Landlord shall obtain and keep in full
force and effect insurance against loss or damage by fire and other casualty to the Buildings and
the improvements and betterments in the Buildings, including all Music Hall Alterations and
Landlord’s Music Hall Property as may be insurable under then available standard forms of
“all-risk” insurance policies, in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the replacement
value thereof (with customary deductibles) or in such lesser amount as will avoid co-insurance.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any failure to insure,
replace or restore any Music Hall Alterations which Landlord would otherwise be obligated to
restore hereunder unless, if Landlord has notified Tenant that Landlord’s insurer requires Tenant
to do any of the following, Tenant shall have delivered to Landlord plans and specifications of
such Alterations to the extent required pursuant to Article 5 hereof or otherwise notified Landlord
in reasonable detail of such Alterations, and shall maintain adequate records with respect to such
Alterations to facilitate the adjustment of any insurance claims with respect thereto. Tenant shall
reasonably cooperate with Landlord and Landlord’s insurance companies in the adjustment of any
claims for any damage to any of the Buildings or such Alterations. All insurance required to be
maintained by Landlord hereunder may be effected pursuant to blanket policies covering other
locations, provided that such blanket policies (i) provide the amounts set forth above and that
such amounts will not be reduced by any loss at any other location, and (ii) shall comply with the
provisions of this Section 13.2. Notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary,
in no event shall Landlord carry
55
separate or additional insurance, concurrent in form or contributing in the event of any loss
or damage, with any insurance required to be maintained by Tenant with respect to Tenant’s
Property.
Section 13.3 Waiver of Subrogation. Landlord and Tenant shall each procure an
appropriate clause in or endorsement to any property insurance covering the Premises, the Buildings
and personal property, fixtures and equipment located therein, wherein the insurance companies
shall waive subrogation or consent to a waiver of right of recovery, and Landlord and Tenant agree
not to make any claim against, or seek to recover from, the other for any loss or damage to its
property or the property of others resulting from fire and other hazards to the extent covered by
such property insurance; provided, however, that the release, discharge, exoneration and covenant
not to xxx contained herein shall be limited by and coextensive with the terms and provisions of
the waiver of subrogation or waiver of right of recovery. If the payment of an additional premium
is required for the inclusion of, or consent to, a waiver of subrogation, each party shall advise
the other, in writing, of the amount of any such additional premiums and the other party may pay
such additional premium. If such other party shall not elect to pay such additional premium, then
the first party shall not be required to obtain such waiver of subrogation or consent to waiver. If
a waiver of subrogation is unobtainable, Landlord and Tenant shall each seek to have its respective
insurance carrier name the other party as an additional insured on its property insurance policies,
but not a loss payee. If the carrier in question shall agree to do so but only upon the payment of
any additional premium, each party shall advise the other in writing of the amount of such
additional premium and the other party may pay such additional premium. If the other party shall
not elect to pay such additional premium, then the first party shall not be required to name the
other party as an additional insured on its property policy. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord
shall not carry insurance on,
56
and shall not be responsible for, any loss suffered by Tenant due to interruption of Tenant’s
business.
ARTICLE 14
DESTRUCTION–FIRE OR OTHER CAUSE
Section 14.1 Restoration. (a) If the Ancillary Space is damaged by fire or other
casualty, or if either of the Ancillary Buildings is damaged such that Tenant is deprived of
reasonable access to or the ability to use the Ancillary Space, Tenant shall give prompt notice to
Landlord, and the core and shell of the Ancillary Building(s) or such access shall be repaired by
Landlord, at its expense, to substantially the condition of the core and shell of the Ancillary
Building(s) or such access prior to such damage, subject to the provisions of any Mortgage or
Superior Lease, but Landlord shall have no obligation to repair or restore Tenant’s Property or any
Ancillary Space Alterations or other improvements to the Ancillary Space, all of which shall be
restored by Tenant at its expense. So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, then until such time as Landlord shall substantially complete the core and shell work
on the Ancillary Building or Buildings which are the subject of such fire or other casualty plus
such additional time as may be reasonably required by Tenant to restore the Ancillary Space
Alterations that were damaged by such fire or other casualty Fixed Rent, Tenant’s Tax Payment and,
if the Retail Space is affected, Tenant’s Retail Operating Expense Payment, shall be abated with
respect to such portion of the Ancillary Space as was damaged by such fire or other casualty;
provided, however, that in all events such abatement shall terminate when Tenant reoccupies the
portion of the Ancillary Space damaged by such fire or casualty for the conduct of its business. To
the extent of any Tenant Delay in restoring Ancillary Space Alterations, Tenant’s rent abatement
with respect to such portion of the Ancillary Space shall be reduced by one day for each such day
of Tenant Delay.
57
(b) If the Music Hall is damaged by fire or other casualty, Tenant shall give prompt notice to
Landlord, and Landlord, at its expense, shall, subject to Section 14.2, rebuild the same to
substantially its condition prior to the damage to the extent commercially practicable given the
unique and landmark nature of the Music Hall, subject to the provisions of any Mortgage or Superior
Lease, but Landlord shall have no obligation to repair or restore Tenant’s Property and, at
Landlord’s request, Tenant shall, at its expense, promptly remove Tenant’s Property from the Music
Hall in order to facilitate the completion of Landlord’s restoration work. To the extent that
restoration of the Music Hall to substantially its condition prior to the damage is impracticable,
Landlord shall consult with Tenant regarding the Music Hall restoration plans for the purpose of
assuring that such restoration is in keeping with the quality and character of the Music Hall as it
exists on the Execution Date, subject to commercial practicability. So long as no Event of Default
shall have occurred and is continuing, then until such time as the restoration of the Music Hall
has been substantially completed, Tenant’s Fixed Rent and Tenant’s Tax Payment shall be abated;
provided, however, that to the extent restoration of the Music Hall is delayed by reason of a
Tenant Delay, Tenant’s rent abatement hereunder shall be reduced by one day for each such day of
Tenant Delay.
Section 14.2 Mutual Termination Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in Section 14.1, if the Music Hall, the 1270 Space, the 50 Rock Space or the
Retail Space is substantially damaged or is rendered wholly or substantially untenantable and an
independent architect or engineer selected by Landlord shall determine, as evidenced by a written
opinion which Landlord agrees shall be delivered to Tenant within 90 days after such damage (the
“Restoration Opinion”), that the restoration of any of the same to substantially its
condition prior to such damage shall require more than (a) with respect to the Music Hall,
36 months and (b) with respect to the Ancillary Space, 18 months, to complete (including the time
necessary to obtain all necessary approvals from the Commission, Landlord hereby
58
agreeing to diligently pursue the receipt of any such approvals and Tenant agreeing to
cooperate in all reasonable respects in connection with such pursuit), Landlord or Tenant may, not
later than 30 days following the date of receipt of the Restoration Opinion, (i) with respect to
the 1270 Space, the 50 Rock Space or the Retail Space, give the other party a notice terminating
the Lease with respect to the 1270 Space, the 50 Rock Space or the Retail Space, whichever of such
space is substantially damaged or (ii) with respect to the Music Hall, give the other party a
notice terminating the Lease. If this Lease (or any portion thereof) is terminated pursuant to this
Section 14.2 or Section 14.3, (i) the Term (insofar as it relates to the portion of
the Premises as to which the Lease is being terminated) shall expire upon the date set forth in the
applicable notice of termination, which shall not be less than 30 days after such notice is given,
and Tenant shall vacate the Premises (or the applicable portion thereof) and surrender the same to
Landlord no later than the date set forth in the notice, (ii) Tenant’s liability for Rent with
respect to the applicable portion of the Premises shall cease as of the date of the damage,
(iii) any prepaid Rent with respect to the applicable portion of the Premises for any period after
the date of the damage shall be refunded by Landlord to Tenant and (iv) an appropriate final
reconciliation shall be made of Percentage Rent for the Computation Year in which such termination
occurred within 30 days following such termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall
not exercise the termination right set forth in this Section 14.2 if, as part of Landlord’s
restoration of the Music Hall, Landlord shall intend to build a structure which is designed to
house a concert hall.
Section 14.3 Intentionally Omitted.
Section 14.4 Final 24 Months. Notwithstanding anything set forth to the contrary in
this Article, in the event that any substantial damage rendering a portion of the Premises located
in any Building wholly untenantable occurs during the final 24 months of the
59
Term, either Landlord or Tenant may terminate this Lease as to such portion, or if such damage
occurs to the Music Hall, then as to the whole of the Premises by notice to the other party within
30 days after the occurrence of such damage and this Lease shall expire on the 30th day after the
date of such notice. For purposes of this Section 14.4, the Premises located in any
Building shall be deemed wholly untenantable if due to such damage, Tenant shall be precluded from
using more than 50% of the Premises located in such Building for the conduct of its business and
Tenant’s inability to so use the Premises is reasonably expected to continue until at least the
earlier of (i) the Expiration Date, or (ii) the 90th day after the date when such damage occurs.
Section 14.5 Waiver of Real Property Law § 227. This Article constitutes an express
agreement governing any case of damage or destruction of the Premises or the Buildings by fire or
other casualty, and Section 227 of the Real Property Law of the State of New York, which provides
for such contingency in the absence of an express agreement, and any other law of like nature and
purpose now or hereafter in force, shall have no application in any such case.
Section 14.6 Inability to Collect. Subject to Section 13.3, if Landlord or
any Lessor or Mortgagee shall be unable to collect all of the insurance proceeds (including rent
insurance proceeds) applicable to damage or destruction of the Premises or the Buildings by reason
of any action or inaction on the part of Tenant or any Tenant Party (other than Tenant invitees),
then, without prejudice to any other remedies which may be available against Tenant, (i) there
shall be no abatement of Rent, (ii) Landlord shall have no obligation to restore the Premises (or
any portion thereof) to any extent greater than that permitted by expending the portion of
insurance proceeds which Landlord is able to collect and (iii) Tenant shall have none of the
termination rights set forth in this Article.
60
Section 14.7 Landlord’s Liability. Any Buildings’ employee to whom any property shall
be entrusted by or on behalf of Tenant shall be deemed to be acting as Tenant’s agent with respect
to such property and neither Landlord nor any of the Indemnitees shall be liable for any damage to
such property, or for the loss of or damage to any property of Tenant by theft or otherwise. None
of the Indemnitees shall be liable for any injury or damage to persons or property or interruption
of Tenant’s business resulting from fire or other casualty, any damage caused by other tenants or
persons in the Buildings or by construction of any private, public or quasi-public work, or any
latent defect in the Premises or in the Buildings (except that Landlord shall be required to repair
the same to the extent provided in Article 7). No penalty shall accrue for delays which may
arise by reason of adjustment of fire insurance on the part of Landlord or Tenant, or Unavoidable
Delays, in connection with any repair or restoration of any portion of the Premises or of the
Buildings. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to minimize interference with Tenant’s use and
occupancy of the Premises during the performance of any such repair or restoration; provided,
however, Landlord shall have no obligation to employ contractors or labor at overtime or other
premium pay rates or to incur any other overtime costs or additional expenses whatsoever. Nothing
in this Section 14.7 shall affect any right of Landlord to be indemnified by Tenant under
Article 32 for payments made to compensate for losses of third parties.
Section 14.8 Windows. If at any time any windows of the Premises are temporarily
closed, darkened or covered over by reason of repairs, maintenance, alterations or improvements to
the Buildings, or any of such windows are permanently closed, darkened or covered over due to any
Requirement, Landlord shall not be liable for any damage Tenant may sustain and Tenant shall not be
entitled to any compensation or abatement of any Rent, nor shall the same release Tenant from its
obligations hereunder or constitute an actual or constructive eviction.
61
ARTICLE 15
EMINENT DOMAIN
Section 15.1 (a) Total Taking. If all or substantially all of the Premises, the
Buildings or the Real Property shall be acquired or condemned for any public or quasi-public
purpose, this Lease shall terminate and the Term shall end as of the date of the vesting of title,
with the same effect as if such date were the Expiration Date.
(b) Partial Taking. If only a part of the Premises, the Buildings or the Real
Property shall be acquired or condemned, then except as provided in this Article 15, this
Lease and the Term shall continue in full force and effect, provided that from and after the date
of the vesting of title, Fixed Rent and Tenant’s Tax Payment shall be modified to reflect the
reduction of the Premises and/or the Buildings as a result of such acquisition or condemnation.
(c) Landlord’s Termination Right. Whether or not the Premises are affected, Landlord
may give to Tenant, within 60 days following the date upon which Landlord receives notice that all
or a material portion of the Buildings or the Real Property has been acquired or condemned, a
notice of termination of this Lease insofar as it relates to the Building being affected, or if the
Building being affected is all or substantially all of the Music Hall, then as to all of the
Premises, provided that, with respect to the Ancillary Buildings, Landlord elects to terminate
leases (including this Lease) affecting at least 50% of the rentable area of the Ancillary
Buildings (excluding any rentable area leased by Landlord or its Affiliates) which are the subject
of the Landlord’s termination right. For purposes hereof, “material” shall mean 20% or more
of the rentable area of such Building or all reasonable means of access to such Building.
62
(d) Tenant’s Termination Right. If the part of the Buildings or the Real Property so
acquired or condemned contains a substantial part of the total area of the portion of the Premises
located in such Building immediately prior to such acquisition or condemnation, or if, by reason of
such acquisition or condemnation, Tenant no longer has reasonable means of access to the Premises,
Tenant may terminate this Lease as to such portion of the Premises by notice to Landlord given
within 60 days following the date upon which Tenant received notice of such acquisition or
condemnation; provided, however, that if the portion of the Premises so affected shall be the Music
Hall, then Tenant’s right of termination shall apply to the whole of the Premises. Furthermore, if
by virtue of the nature of the space in the Music Hall which is acquired or condemned, the space
remaining in the Music Hall after giving effect to such acquisition or condemnation cannot
economically be used for its intended purpose, following the date upon which Tenant received notice
of such acquisition or condemnation, Tenant may terminate this Lease by notice to Landlord. If
Tenant so notifies Landlord, this Lease shall terminate and the Term shall end and expire upon the
date set forth in the notice as to the portion of the Premises covered thereby, which date shall
not be more than 30 days following the giving of such notice. If a part of the Premises shall be so
acquired or condemned and this Lease and the Term shall not be terminated in accordance with this
Section, Landlord, at Landlord’s expense but without requiring Landlord to spend more than it
collects as an award, shall, subject to the provisions of any Mortgage or Superior Lease, restore
such portion of the Premises not so acquired or condemned to a self-contained unit substantially
equivalent (with respect to character, quality, appearance and services) to that which existed
immediately prior to such acquisition or condemnation, to the extent commercially practicable to do
so, in which case Tenant shall be obligated to restore Tenant’s Property relating to such portion
of the Premises to the condition which existed immediately prior to such acquisition or
condemnation.
63
(e) Apportionment of Rent. Upon any termination of this Lease pursuant to the
provisions of this Article as to all or a portion of the Premises, Fixed Rent and Tenant’s payments
for Taxes shall be apportioned as of, and shall be paid or refunded up to and including, the date
of such termination.
Section 15.2 Awards. Upon any acquisition or condemnation of all or any part of the
Buildings or the Real Property, Landlord shall receive the entire award for any such acquisition or
condemnation, and Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord or the condemning authority for the
value of any unexpired portion of the Term, Tenant’s Alterations or improvements; and Tenant hereby
assigns to Landlord all of its right in and to such award. Nothing contained in this Article shall
be deemed to prevent Tenant from making a separate claim in any condemnation proceedings for the
then value of any Tenant’s Property included in such taking and for any moving expenses, provided
any such award is in addition to, and does not result in a reduction of, the award made to
Landlord.
Section 15.3 Temporary Taking. If all or any part of the Premises is acquired or
condemned for a period of 36 months or less during the Term for any public or quasi-public use or
purpose, Tenant shall give prompt notice to Landlord, and the Term shall not be reduced or affected
in any way, and Tenant shall continue to pay all Rent payable by Tenant without reduction or
abatement and to perform all its other obligations under this Lease, except to the extent prevented
from doing so by the condemning authority. Tenant shall be entitled to receive any award or payment
from the condemning authority for such use, which award shall be received, held and applied by
Tenant as a trust fund for payment of Rent falling due, provided that if the acquisition or
condemnation extends beyond the Term, Landlord shall receive the entire portion of such award
attributable to the period after the Term.
64
ARTICLE 16
ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
Section 16.1 (a) No Assignment or Subletting. Tenant shall not assign, mortgage,
pledge, encumber, or otherwise transfer this Lease, whether by operation of law or otherwise, and
shall not sublet (or underlet), or permit, or suffer the Premises or any part thereof to be used or
occupied by others (whether for desk space, mailing privileges or otherwise), without Landlord’s
prior consent in each instance (which consent shall be granted or denied in Landlord’s sole and
absolute discretion); provided, however, that the use of the Music Hall for its Permitted Use (i.e.
allowing various performances to take place in the Music Hall under the auspices of Tenant) and the
granting of subleases, licenses and concessions to persons occupying not more than 10% of the Music
Hall consistent with customary practice in the entertainment business shall not be deemed a
violation of this Section 16.1. Any assignment, sublease, mortgage, pledge, encumbrance or
transfer in contravention of the provisions of this Article shall be void.
(b) Collection of Rent. If, without Landlord’s consent, this Lease is assigned, or any
part of the Premises is sublet or occupied by anyone other than Tenant, or this Lease or the
Premises or any of Tenant’s Property is encumbered (by operation of law or otherwise), Landlord may
collect rent from the assignee, subtenant or occupant and apply the net amount collected to the
Rent herein reserved. No such collection of rent shall be deemed to be (i) a waiver of the
provisions of this Article, (ii) an acceptance of the assignee, subtenant or occupant as tenant, or
(iii) a release of Tenant from the performance of any of the terms, covenants and conditions to be
performed by Tenant under this Lease, including the payment of Rent.
65
(c) No Waiver. Landlord’s consent to any assignment or subletting shall not relieve
Tenant from the obligation to obtain Landlord’s express consent to any further assignment or
subletting. In no event shall any permitted subtenant assign or encumber its sublease or further
sublet any portion of its sublet space, or otherwise suffer or permit any portion of the sublet
space to be used or occupied by others. The listing of any name other than that of Tenant in the
directory, or on the doors of the Premises or elsewhere, shall not vest in any such named party any
right or interest in this Lease or in the Premises, nor be deemed to constitute Landlord’s consent
to any assignment or transfer of this Lease, or to any sublease of the Premises, or to the use or
occupancy thereof by others.
Section 16.2 Conditions to Assignment or Subletting. (a) Landlord shall either grant
or decline its consent to the proposed assignment or subletting within 30 days after Landlord’s
receipt of (1) a true and complete statement detailing the identity of the proposed assignee or
subtenant, the nature of its business and its proposed use of the Premises, (2) current financial
information with respect to the proposed assignee or subtenant including its most recent financial
statements and (3) any other information Landlord may reasonably request.
(b) With respect to each and every assignment and/or subletting authorized by Landlord under
the provisions of this Lease, it is further agreed that:
(i) the form of the proposed assignment or sublease shall be reasonably
satisfactory to Landlord and shall comply with the provisions of this Article;
(ii) no sublease shall be for a term ending later than one day prior to the
Expiration Date of this Lease;
66
(iii) no sublease shall be delivered to any subtenant, and no subtenant shall
take possession of the Premises, until an executed counterpart of such sublease has
been delivered to Landlord and approved in writing by Landlord as provided in
Section 16.2(a);
(iv) if a monetary Event of Default shall occur at any time prior to the
effective date of such assignment or subletting or a material, nonmonetary Event of
Default shall have occurred and, in either ease, Landlord shall have commenced a
summary proceeding or other legal proceeding against Tenant by reason thereof prior
to the effective date of such assignment, then Landlord’s consent thereto, if
previously granted, shall be immediately deemed revoked without further notice to
Tenant, and if such assignment or subletting would have been permitted without
Landlord’s consent pursuant to Section 16.5, such permission shall be void
and without force and effect, and in either such case, any such assignment or
subletting shall constitute a further Event of Default hereunder; and
(v) each sublease shall be subject and subordinate to this lease and to the
matters to which this Lease is or shall be subordinate, it being the intention of
Landlord and Tenant that Tenant shall assume and be liable to Landlord for any and
all acts and omissions of all subtenants and anyone claiming under or through any
subtenants which, if performed or omitted by Tenant, would be a default under this
Lease; and Tenant and each subtenant shall be deemed to have agreed that upon
termination of the Lease, Tenant has hereby assigned to Landlord, and Landlord may,
at its option, accept such assignment of, all right, title and interest of Tenant as
sublandlord under such sublease, together with all
67
modifications, extensions and renewals thereof then in effect, and such
subtenant shall, at Landlord’s option, attorn to Landlord pursuant to the then
executory provisions of such sublease, except that Landlord shall not be (A) liable
for any previous act or omission of Tenant under such sublease, (B) subject to any
counterclaim, offset or defense not expressly provided in such sublease, which
theretofore accrued to such subtenant against Tenant, (C) bound by any previous
modification of such sublease not consented to by Landlord, or by any prepayment of
more than one month’s rent and additional rent under such sublease, (D) bound to
return such subtenant’s security deposit, if any, except to the extent that Landlord
shall receive actual possession of such deposit and such subtenant shall be entitled
to the return of all or any portion of such deposit under the terms of its sublease,
or (E) obligated to make any payment to or on behalf of such subtenant, or to
perform any work in the subleased space or the Buildings, or in any way to prepare
the subleased space for occupancy, beyond Landlord’s obligations under this Lease.
The provisions of this Section 16.2(b)(v) shall be self-operative, and no
further instrument shall be required to give effect hereto, provided that the
subtenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord any instruments Landlord may
reasonably request to evidence and confirm such subordination and attornment.
Section 16.3 No Release of Tenant; Indemnification of Landlord. Notwithstanding any
assignment or subletting or any acceptance of Rent by Landlord from any assignee or subtenant,
Tenant shall remain fully liable for the payment of all Rent due and for the performance of all
other terms, covenants and conditions contained in this Lease on Tenant’s part to be observed and
performed, and any default under any term, covenant or condition of this Lease by any subtenant
shall be deemed a default under this Lease by Tenant.
68
Tenant shall indemnify, defend, protect and hold harmless Landlord from and against any and
all Losses (as defined in Section 32.1(b)) resulting from any claims that may be made
against Landlord by the proposed assignee or subtenant or by any brokers or other Persons claiming
a commission or similar compensation in connection with the proposed assignment or sublease,
irrespective of whether Landlord shall give or decline to give its consent to any proposed
assignment or sublease, or if Landlord shall exercise any of its options under this
Article 16; provided, that such indemnity shall not extend to post-assignment claims by any
proposed assignee or subtenant.
Section 16.4 Tenant’s Failure to Complete. If Landlord consents to a proposed
assignment or sublease and Tenant fails to execute and deliver to Landlord such assignment or
sublease within 270 days after the giving of such consent, then Tenant shall again comply with all
of the provisions and conditions of Section 16.2 hereof before assigning this Lease or
subletting all or part of the Premises.
Section 16.5 (a) Transfers. If Tenant is a corporation, the transfer by one or more
transfers, directly or indirectly, by operation of law or otherwise, of a majority of the stock of
Tenant shall be deemed a voluntary assignment of this Lease; provided, however, that the provisions
of this Article shall not apply to the transfer of shares of stock of Tenant if and so long as
Tenant is publicly traded on a nationally recognized stock exchange. For purposes of this Section
the term “transfers” shall be deemed to include the issuance of new stock or of treasury stock
which results in a majority of the stock of Tenant being held by a Person or Persons that do not
hold a majority of the stock of Tenant on the date hereof. If Tenant is a partnership, the transfer
by one or more transfers, directly or indirectly, by operation of law or otherwise, of a majority
interest in the partnership or otherwise in violation of Section 29.2 of this Lease, shall
be deemed a voluntary assignment of this Lease. If Tenant is a limited liability company, trust,
69
or any other legal entity (including a corporation or partnership), the transfer by one or
more transfers, directly or indirectly, of Control of such entity, however characterized, shall be
deemed a voluntary assignment of this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the transfer of
interests in MSG (or any entity which is a successor to MSG in accordance with the provisions of
this Lease) by the owners of such interests shall not be deemed an assignment hereunder as long as
the ownership interests held by MSG (or any such successor entity) in Tenant do not constitute more
than 50% of the assets of MSG or any such successor entity. Following the
5th anniversary of the Rent Commencement Date, the provisions of Section 16.1
shall not apply to (A) transactions with an entity into or with which Tenant is merged or
consolidated or to which substantially all of Tenant’s assets are transferred or (B) a transfer of
the majority interest in Tenant (regardless of whether Tenant is a corporation, limited liability
company or partnership or other entity) (a “Transfer of Control”) so long as (i) such
transfer was made for a legitimate independent business purpose and not for the purpose of
transferring this Lease as opposed to the transfer of Tenant’s business, (ii) the successor to
Tenant or the transferee following such Transfer of Control, as applicable (either such successor
or transferee being hereinafter referred to as the “Successor Tenant”) has a net worth
computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied (“Net
Worth”) of not less than ***** and a cash flow on an annualized basis computed in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied (“Cash Flow”) of not
less than *****. (iii) proof satisfactory to Landlord of such Net Worth and Cash Flow is delivered
to Landlord at least 10 days prior to the effective date of any such transaction and (iv) the
Successor Tenant shall have (1) a high quality reputation in the general business community and
upstanding character and (2) (A) a high quality reputation within the entertainment industry for
sound management and business practices and integrity and (B) at least 10 years of experience in
the operation of a live entertainment venue comparable to the Music Hall. If the Successor Tenant
shall fail to satisfy
70
the requirements set forth in clause (iv) (2) above. then either an Affiliate of Successor
Tenant which satisfies such requirements shall be the manager of Tenant or, if no such Affiliate
shall exist, the Successor Tenant shall covenant and agree to retain the then existing management
of Tenant or replace the then existing management with a manager which satisfies the requirements
set forth in clause (iv) (2) above. Tenant may also, upon prior notice to and with the consent of
Landlord, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, permit any Person which Controls. is Controlled
by, or is under common Control with Tenant (a “Related Entity”) to sublet all (but not
part) of the Premises for any Permitted Use, provided the Related Entity is in Landlord’s
reasonable judgment of a character and engaged in a business which is in keeping with the standards
for the Buildings and the Center and the occupancy thereof. Such sublease shall not be deemed to
vest in any such Related Entity any right or interest in this Lease or the Premises nor shall it
relieve, release, impair or discharge any of Tenant’s obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Tenant shall have no right to assign this Lease or sublease all or any portion of the
Premises without Landlord’s consent pursuant to this Section 16.5 if Tenant is not the
original Tenant named in this Lease or a Person who acquired Tenant’s interest in this Lease in a
transaction approved by Landlord or permitted under this Section 16.5.
(b) Applicability. The limitations set forth in this Section 16.5 shall apply
to subtenant(s) and assignee(s) of this Lease, if any, and any transfer by any such entity in
violation of this Section 16.5 shall be a transfer in violation of Section 16.1.
(c) Modifications; Takeover Agreements. Any modification, amendment or extension of a
sublease and/or any other agreement by which a landlord of a building other than the Buildings
agrees to assume or perform the obligations of Tenant under this Lease shall be deemed a sublease
for the purposes of Section 16.1 hereof.
71
Section 16.6 Assumption of Obligations. Any assignment or transfer, whether made with
Landlord’s consent or without Landlord’s consent, if and to the extent permitted hereunder, shall
not be effective unless and until the assignee executes, acknowledges and delivers to Landlord
(i) an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord whereby the assignee
(A) assumes Tenant’s obligations under this Lease from after the date of such assignment, other
than (x) in the case of a sale of the assets of Tenant, in which event such assumption shall be
absolute or (y) in the case of a merger of Tenant, in which event the Successor Tenant shall
execute a confirmatory instrument in form reasonably satisfactory to Landlord confirming its
continuing liability as Tenant under this Lease or (z) in the case of a Transfer of Control of
Tenant, in which event the transferee, having the required Net Worth and Cash Flow, shall execute a
guaranty in substantially the same form as the Guaranty and which from and after the date of such
Transfer of Control shall be deemed the Guaranty for purposes of this Lease with respect to
obligations thereafter accruing and (B) agrees that, notwithstanding such assignment or transfer,
the provisions of Section 16.1 hereof shall be binding upon it in respect of all future
assignments and transfers, and (ii) certificates or policies of insurance as required under
Article 13.
Section 16.7 Tenant’s Liability. The joint and several liability of Tenant and any
successors-in-interest of Tenant and the due performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease
shall not be discharged, released or impaired by any agreement or stipulation made by Landlord, or
any grantee or assignee of Landlord, extending the time, or modifying any of the terms and
provisions of this Lease, or by any waiver or failure of Landlord, or any grantee or assignee of
Landlord, to enforce any of the terms and provisions of this Lease; provided, however, that the
liability of Tenant or any such successors-in-interest to Tenant shall be limited to the
obligations set forth in this Lease as the same existed while such party was Tenant
72
without regard to any subsequent modifications which increase the liability of Tenant under
this Lease.
Section 16.8 Lease Not Affirmed or Rejected. If at any time after an assignment by
Tenant named herein, this Lease is not affirmed on or before confirmation of a plan of
reorganization or rejected in any proceeding of the types described in Section 19.1(h) or
(i) or any similar proceeding, or upon a termination of this Lease due to any such proceeding,
Tenant named herein, upon request of Landlord given within 30 days after such disaffirmance,
rejection or termination (and actual notice thereof to Landlord in the event of a disaffirmance or
rejection or in the event of termination other than by act of Landlord), shall (i) pay to Landlord
all Rent and other charges due and owing by the assignee to Landlord under this Lease to and
including the date of such disaffirmance, rejection or termination, and (ii) as “tenant,” enter
into a new lease of the Premises with Landlord for a term commencing on the effective date of such
disaffirmance, rejection or termination and ending on the Expiration Date, unless sooner terminated
in accordance therewith, at the same Rent and upon the then executory terms, covenants and
conditions contained in this Lease, except that (A) the rights of Tenant named herein under the new
lease shall be subject to the possessory rights of the assignee under this Lease and the possessory
rights of any Persons claiming through or under such assignee or by virtue of any statute or of any
order of any court, (B) such new lease shall require all defaults which are susceptible of being
cured by the Tenant named herein existing under this Lease to be cured by Tenant named herein with
due diligence, and (C) such new lease shall require Tenant named herein to pay Rent on the same
terms and conditions set forth herein which, had this Lease not been so disaffirmed, rejected or
terminated, would have become due under the provisions of this Lease after the date of such
disaffirmance, rejection or termination with respect to any period prior thereto. If Tenant named
herein defaults in its obligations to enter into such new lease for a period of 10 days after
Landlord’s request, then, in addition to all other
73
rights and remedies by reason of default, either at law or in equity, Landlord shall have the
same rights and remedies against Tenant named herein as if it had entered into such new lease and
such new lease had thereafter been terminated as of the commencement date thereof by reason of
Tenant’s default thereunder.
ARTICLE 17
ELECTRICITY
Section 17.1 (a) Electricity for Ancillary Space. Landlord shall redistribute or
furnish electricity to or for the use of Tenant in the Ancillary Space for the operation of
Tenant’s electrical systems and equipment in the Ancillary Space, at a level sufficient to
accommodate a demand load of six (6) xxxxx per usable square foot (the “Permitted
Capacity”). Tenant shall pay to Landlord, on demand from time to time but no more frequently
than monthly, for its consumption of electricity at the Ancillary Space, a sum equal to ***** of
the product obtained by multiplying (i) the Cost Per Kilowatt Hour, by (ii) the actual number of
kilowatt hours of electric current consumed by Tenant in such billing period. “Cost Per
Kilowatt Hour” means the total cost payable by Landlord to the utility providing electricity to
the Center during a particular billing period, including energy charges, demand charges,
surcharges, time-of-day charges, fuel adjustment charges, rate adjustment charges, taxes, including
sales taxes, (regardless of whether included in the utility company’s charges or paid separately by
Landlord), rebates and any other factors used by the utility company in computing its charges to
Landlord, divided by the total kilowatt hours purchased by Landlord to provide electricity to the
Center during such period. If any tax is imposed upon Landlord’s receipts from the sale or resale
of electricity to Tenant, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for such tax, if and to the extent
permitted by law and to the extent attributable to Tenant’s usage. Landlord shall install a meter,
at Tenant’s expense, to measure Tenant’s consumption of electricity in the Ancillary Space, which
meter shall be
74
maintained by Landlord at Tenant’s expense. Bills for such amounts shall be rendered to Tenant
at such times as Landlord may elect, but not more frequently than monthly. For any period during
which such meter or meters are not installed or are not operational in the Ancillary Space, the
monthly Fixed Rent with respect to the Ancillary Space shall be increased by an amount equal to the
product of *****, subject to adjustment for any increases in electric rates or taxes, and (B) the
number of rentable square feet in the applicable portion of the Ancillary Space. Tenant shall have
the right at reasonable times and upon reasonable notice to audit such of Landlord’s records as may
be directly applicable to the computation of Tenant’s electricity charges at Landlord’s offices by
a reputable, independent accounting firm, provided Tenant and such firm agree to keep such firm’s
findings confidential in accordance with a confidentiality agreement reasonably satisfactory to
Landlord.
(b) Electricity for Music Hall. Tenant shall (i) contract directly with the public
utility company furnishing electric service to the Music Hall for electric service to the Music
Hall, (ii) maintain separate meters in the Music Hall to measure Tenant’s consumption of
electricity in the Music Hall and (iii) install and maintain at its sole cost and expense any
equipment necessary to distribute electricity in the Music Hall.
Section 17.2 Use of Electricity. Tenant shall at all times comply with the rules and
regulations of the utility company supplying electricity to the Buildings. With respect to the
Ancillary Space, Tenant shall not use any electrical equipment which would exceed the Permitted
Capacity. With respect to the Ancillary Space, Tenant shall not make or perform, or permit the
making or performance of, any Ancillary Space Alterations to wiring installations or other
electrical facilities in or serving the Ancillary Space, or make any additions to the office
equipment or other appliances in the Ancillary Space which utilize electrical energy (other than
equipment customarily used in a small office or, with respect to the 1270 Space after the Initial
75
Alterations a club) without the prior consent of Landlord, in each instance, and in compliance
with this Lease. If Tenant shall desire any additional risers or other proper and necessary
equipment required to furnish electricity to the Ancillary Space, the same shall be installed by
Landlord at Tenant’s expense (equal to Landlord’s actual out-of-pocket reasonable, third-party
costs supported by reasonable back-up documentation), provided that such installation shall be in
compliance with this Lease, all Requirements and the other leases in the Ancillary Buildings.
Section 17.3 Service Disruption. Except as otherwise provided in
Section 12.5, Landlord shall not be liable in any way to Tenant for any failure, defect or
interruption of, or change in the supply, character and/or quantity of, electric service furnished
to the Premises for any reason except if attributable to the negligence or willful misconduct of
Landlord, nor shall there be any allowance to Tenant for a diminution of rental value, nor shall
the same constitute an actual or constructive eviction of Tenant, in whole or in part, or relieve
Tenant from any of its Lease obligations, and no liability shall arise on the part of Landlord by
reason of inconvenience, annoyance or injury to business, whether electricity is provided by public
or private utility or by any electricity generation system owned and operated by Landlord. Landlord
shall use reasonable efforts to minimize interference with Tenant’s use and occupancy of the
Premises as a result of any such failure, defect or interruption of, or change in the supply,
character and/or quantity of, electric service, provided that Landlord shall have no obligation to
employ contractors or labor at overtime or other premium pay rates or to incur any other overtime
costs or additional expenses whatsoever.
Section 17.4 Discontinuance of Service. Landlord reserves the right to discontinue
furnishing electricity to Tenant in the Ancillary Space on not less than 30 days notice to Tenant,
if Landlord is required to do so under applicable Requirements. If Landlord is compelled to
discontinue furnishing electricity to Tenant, this Lease shall continue in full force
76
and effect and shall be unaffected thereby except that from and after the effective date of
such discontinuance, Landlord shall not be obligated to furnish electricity to Tenant hereunder. If
Landlord so discontinues furnishing electricity, Tenant shall arrange to obtain electricity
directly from any utility company or other electricity provider serving the Ancillary Space to the
extent available, suitable and safe for such purposes. All equipment which may be required to
obtain electricity of substantially the same quantity, quality and character shall be installed by
Landlord at the sale cost and expense of Tenant (to the extent of Landlord’s actual, third party,
out of pocket costs and provided Landlord furnishes reasonable supporting documentation with
respect thereto) if (A) Landlord is compelled to discontinue such service by the utility company or
pursuant to applicable Requirements, or (B) such discontinuance arises solely out of the acts or
omissions of Tenant. Landlord will not voluntarily discontinue furnishing electricity to Tenant
until Tenant is able to receive electricity directly from the utility company or other company
servicing 1270 Avenue of the Americas, unless the utility company or other company is not prepared
to furnish electricity to the 1270 Space on the date required as a result of Tenant’s delay or
negligence in arranging for service, Tenant’s refusal to provide the utility company or other
company with a deposit or other security requested by the utility company, or Tenant’s refusal to
take any other action requested by the utility company or other company.
ARTICLE 18
ACCESS TO PREMISES
Section 18.1 Landlord’s Access. (a) Tenant shall permit Landlord, Landlord’s agents,
utility companies and other service providers servicing the Buildings to erect, use and maintain
concealed ducts, pipes and conduits in and through the Ancillary Space, provided such use does not
cause the usable area of the Ancillary Space to be reduced beyond a de minimis amount. Landlord
shall promptly repair any damage to the Ancillary Space or Tenant’s Property
77
caused by any work performed pursuant to this Article; in making such repairs, Landlord shall
use high quality materials and perform such repairs in a first class manner and shall, to the
extent practicable, match the then existing finishes in such portions of the Ancillary Space or
Tenant’s Property, as applicable.
(b) Landlord, any Lessor or Mortgagee and any other party designated by Landlord and their
respective agents shall have the right to enter the Premises at all reasonable times, upon
reasonable notice (which notice may be oral) except in the case of emergency, (i) to examine the
Premises, (ii) to show the Premises to prospective purchasers, Mortgagees or Lessors of the
Buildings and their respective agents and representatives or others, and, during the last 12 months
of the Term, to prospective lessees of the Premises, and (iii) to make such repairs, alterations or
additions to the Premises or the Buildings (A) as Landlord may reasonably deem necessary or
desirable (except that, as to the Premises, only as are reasonably necessary), (B) which Landlord
may reasonably elect to perform following Tenant’s failure to perform, or (C) to comply with any
Requirements which are Landlord’s responsibility, and Landlord shall be allowed to take all
material into the Premises that may be required for the performance of such work without the same
constituting an actual or constructive eviction of Tenant in whole or in part and without any
abatement of Rent; provided that Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to remove those materials
which are not required to remain in the Premises between such work sessions. Any party who
accompanies Landlord to the Premises shall be accompanied by a representative of Tenant (provided
Tenant makes such representative available) but Landlord shall have no obligation to disclose such
party’s name, home or business affiliation or explain the reason for such party’s visit to the
Premises. Except in the case of an emergency, Landlord shall not enter the Premises during times
that would (aa) interfere with any of Tenant’s productions being staged at the Music Hall or
(bb) threaten the health or safety of occupants or invitees of the Premises. If by reason of
Landlord’s failure to
78
perform an obligation which is imposed on Landlord under this Lease, Tenant is either denied
access to the Premises or the health and safety of occupants or invitees of the Premises are
threatened, Landlord shall, to the extent practicable, perform such obligation on an overtime basis
until access is restored or such threat is removed.
(c) All parts (except surfaces facing the interior of the Premises) of all walls, windows and
doors bounding the Premises, including exterior Building walls, exterior core corridor walls, and
doors and entrances (other than doors and entrances solely connecting areas within the Premises),
all balconies, terraces and roofs adjacent to the Premises, (other than all space within the Music
Hall used for shafts, stacks, risers, fan rooms, electrical and communications closets, stairways,
mail chutes, conduits and other mechanical facilities, Independent Systems and Music Hall
facilities) are not part of the Premises, and Landlord shall have the use thereof and access
thereto through the Premises for the purposes of Building operation, maintenance, alteration and
repair.
Section 18.2 Alterations to Buildings. Landlord has the right at any time to
(a) change the name, number or designation by which the Ancillary Buildings or the Center are
commonly known or (b) alter the Ancillary Buildings or the Center to change the arrangement or
location of entrances or passageways, doors and doorways, and corridors, elevators, stairs,
toilets, or other public parts of the Ancillary Buildings without any such acts constituting an
actual or constructive eviction and without incurring any liability to Tenant, so long as such
changes do not (i) deprive Tenant of access to the Ancillary Space or (ii) affect in any material
respect the internal connections between the Ancillary Space and the Music Hall. Landlord shall use
reasonable efforts to minimize interference with Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Premises during
the making of such changes or alterations, provided that Landlord shall have
79
no obligation to employ contractors or labor at overtime or other premium pay rates or to
incur any other overtime costs or additional expenses whatsoever.
ARTICLE 19
DEFAULT
Section 19.1 Tenant’s Defaults. Each of the following events shall be an “Event
of Default” hereunder:
(a) Tenant fails to pay when due any installment of Fixed Rent or Additional Rent and
such default continues for ten days after Landlord’s notice of such default is given to
Tenant; or
(b) Tenant defaults in observing or performing the provisions of Section 3.1(a)
(subject to Tenant’s right to challenge the default as set forth in Section 3.1(a)),

this Lease. Any monies received by Landlord from or on behalf of Tenant during the pendency of any
proceeding of the types referred to in this Article shall be deemed paid as compensation for the
use and occupancy of the Premises and the acceptance of any such compensation by Landlord shall not
be deemed an acceptance of Rent or a waiver on the part of Landlord of any rights under this Lease.
ARTICLE 20
REMEDIES AND DAMAGES
Section 20.1 (a) Landlord’s Remedies. If any Event of Default occurs, and this Lease
terminates as provided in Article 19:
(i) Surrender of Possession. Tenant shall quit and surrender the Premises to
Landlord, and Landlord and its agents may, at any time after such termination, re-enter the
Premises or any part thereof, without notice, either by summary proceedings, or by any other
applicable action or proceeding, or otherwise in accordance with applicable legal
proceedings, and may repossess the Premises and dispossess Tenant and any other Persons from
the Premises and remove any and all of their property and effects from the Premises.
(ii) Landlord’s Reletting. Landlord, at Landlord’s option, may relet all or
any part of the Premises from time to time, either in the name of Landlord or otherwise, to
83
such tenant or tenants, for any term ending before, on or after the Expiration Date, at
such rental and upon such other conditions (which may include concessions and free rent
periods) as Landlord, in its sole discretion, may determine. Landlord shall have no
obligation to and shall not be liable for refusal or failure to relet or, in the event of
any such reletting, for refusal or failure to collect any rent due upon any such reletting;
and no such refusal or failure shall relieve Tenant of. or otherwise affect, any liability
under this Lease. Landlord, at Landlord’s option, may make such alterations, decorations and
other physical changes in and to the Premises as Landlord, in its sole discretion, considers
advisable or necessary in connection with such reletting or proposed reletting. without
relieving Tenant of any liability under this Lease or otherwise affecting any such
liability.
(b) Other Remedies. Upon the breach or threatened breach by Tenant. or any Persons
claiming through or under Tenant, of any term, covenant or condition of this Lease, Landlord shall
have the right to enjoin such breach and to invoke any other remedy allowed by law or in equity as
if re-entry, summary proceedings and other special remedies were not provided in this Lease for
such breach. The rights to invoke the remedies set forth above are cumulative and shall not
preclude Landlord from invoking any other remedy allowed at law or in equity.
(c) Tenant’s Waiver. Tenant, on its own behalf and on behalf of all Persons claiming
through or under Tenant, including all creditors, hereby waives all rights which Tenant and all
such Persons might otherwise have under any Requirement (i) to the service of any notice of
intention to re-enter or to institute legal proceedings, (ii) to redeem, or to re-enter or
repossess the Premises, or (iii) to restore the operation of this Lease, after (A) Tenant shall
have been dispossessed or ejected by judgment or by warrant of any court or judge, (B) any
84
re-entry by Landlord, or (C) any expiration or early termination of the Term, whether such
dispossession, re-entry, expiration or termination shall be by operation of law or pursuant to the
provisions of this Lease. The words “re-enter,” “re-entry” and “re-entered” as used in this Lease
shall not be deemed to be restricted to their technical legal meanings. Tenant also waives any
right it may have to trial by jury in any summary dispossess or other proceeding hereafter
instituted by Landlord against Tenant with respect to the Premises or in any action that may be
brought to recover Rent, damages or other sums payable under this Lease. If Landlord commences any
such summary dispossess proceeding, Tenant will not interpose any counterclaim in the proceeding,
other than a compulsory counterclaim.
Section 20.2(a) Landlord’s Damages. If this Lease and the Term expires and comes to an
end as provided in Article 19, or by or under any summary proceeding or any other action or
proceeding, or if Landlord shall re-enter the Premises as provided in Section 20.1, then,
in any of such events:
(i) Tenant shall pay to Landlord all Rent payable under this Lease by Tenant to
Landlord up to the Expiration Date or to the date of re-entry upon the Premises by Landlord,
as the case may be;
(ii) Landlord shall be entitled to retain all monies, if any, paid by Tenant to
Landlord, whether as prepaid Rent or otherwise, which monies, to the extent not otherwise
applied to amounts due and owing to Landlord, shall be credited by Landlord against any
damages payable by Tenant to Landlord;
(iii) Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in monthly installments, on the days specified in
this Lease for payment of installments of Fixed Rent, any Deficiency; it being understood
that Landlord shall be entitled to recover the Deficiency from Tenant each
85
month as the same shall arise, and no suit to collect the amount of the Deficiency for
any month shall prejudice Landlord’s right to collect the Deficiency for any subsequent
month by a similar proceeding; and
(iv) whether or not Landlord shall have collected any monthly Deficiency, Tenant shall
pay to Landlord, on demand, in lieu of any further Deficiency and as liquidated and agreed
final damages, a sum equal to the amount by which the Rent for the period which otherwise
would have constituted the unexpired portion of the Term (assuming Additional Rent during
such period to be the same as had been payable for the year immediately preceding such
termination or re-entry, increased in each succeeding year by 4% (on a compounded basis))
exceeds the then fair and reasonable rental value of the Premises, for the same period (with
both amounts being discounted to present value at a rate of interest equal to 2% below the
then Base Rate) less the aggregate amount of Deficiencies theretofore collected by Landlord
pursuant to the provisions of Section 20.2(a)(iii) for the same period. If, before
presentation of proof of such liquidated damages to any court, commission or tribunal,
Landlord shall have relet the Premises or any part thereof for the period which otherwise
would have constituted the unexpired portion of the Term or any part thereof, the amount of
rent reserved upon such reletting shall be deemed, prima facie, to be the fair and
reasonable rental value for the part or the whole of the Premises so relet during the term
of the reletting.
(b) Reletting. If the Premises, or any part thereof, shall be relet together with
other space in the Buildings, the rents collected or reserved under any such reletting and the
expenses of any such reletting shall be equitably apportioned for the purposes of this Section.
Tenant shall not be entitled to any rents collected or payable under any reletting, whether or not
such rents exceed Fixed Rent reserved in this Lease. Nothing contained in
86
Article 19 or 20 shall be deemed to limit or preclude the recovery by Landlord
from Tenant of the maximum amount allowed to be obtained as damages under applicable Requirements,
or of any sums or damages to which Landlord may be entitled in addition to the damages set forth in
this Section.
Section 20.3 Default Interest; Other Rights of Landlord. Any Rent or damages payable
under this Lease and not paid when due (except to the extent provided in Section 2.3) shall
bear interest at the Interest Rate from the due date until paid, and the interest shall be deemed
Additional Rent. If Tenant fails to pay any Additional Rent when due, Landlord, in addition to any
other right or remedy, shall have the same rights and remedies as in the case of a default by
Tenant in the payment of Fixed Rent. If Tenant is in arrears in the payment of Rent, Tenant waives
Tenant’s right, if any, to designate the items against which any payments made by Tenant are to be
credited, and Landlord may apply any payments made by Tenant to any items Landlord sees fit,
regardless of any request by Tenant.
ARTICLE 21
LANDLORD’S RIGHT TO CURE; REIMBURSEMENT
Section 21.1 Landlord’s Right to Cure. If an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, Landlord, without thereby waiving such Event of Default, may perform such obligation
for the account and at the expense of Tenant: (i) immediately or at any time thereafter, and
without notice. in the case of emergency or in case the matter giving rise to such Event of Default
(A) materially interferes with the use by any other tenant of any space in the Buildings,
(B) materially interferes with the efficient operation of the Buildings, (C) will result in a
violation of any Requirement, (D) will result in a default under any Mortgage or Superior Lease, or
(E) will result in a cancellation of any insurance policy maintained by Landlord, and (ii) in any
other case if such Event of Default continues after 10 days from the date Landlord gives notice
87
of Landlord’s intention so to perform the defaulted obligation. All costs and expenses
incurred by Landlord in connection with any such performance by it for the account of Tenant and
all costs and expenses, including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements, incurred by Landlord
in any action or proceeding (including any summary dispossess proceeding) brought by Landlord to
enforce any obligation of Tenant under this Lease and/or right of Landlord in or to the Premises,
shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord on demand, with interest thereon at the Interest Rate from the
date incurred by Landlord. Except as expressly provided to the contrary in this Lease, all costs
and expenses which, pursuant to this Lease (including the Rules and Regulations) are incurred by
Landlord and payable to Landlord by Tenant, and all charges, amounts and sums payable to Landlord
by Tenant for any property, material, labor, utility or other services which, pursuant to this
Lease or at the request and for the account of Tenant, are provided, furnished or rendered by
Landlord, shall become due and payable by Tenant to Landlord in accordance with the terms of the
bills rendered by Landlord to Tenant.
Section 21.2 Reimbursement For Tenant’s Default. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord,
within 30 days after demand, for all expenditures made by, or costs or fines sustained or incurred
by, Landlord due to any Event of Default by Tenant under this Lease, with interest thereon at the
Interest Rate, from the date such expenditures were rightfully made, or costs or fines incurred,
until the date reimbursed by Tenant.
ARTICLE 22
NO REPRESENTATIONS BY LANDLORD; LANDLORD’S APPROVAL
Section 22.1 No Representations. Except as expressly set forth herein, Landlord and
Landlord’s agents have made no warranties, representations, statements or promises with respect to
(i) the rentable and usable areas of the Premises, the Buildings or the Center, (ii) the amount of
any current or future Taxes, (iii) the compliance with applicable
88
Requirements of the Premises, the Buildings or the Center, or (iv) the suitability of the
Premises for any particular use or purpose. No rights, easements or licenses are acquired by Tenant
under this Lease, by implication or otherwise. This Lease contains the entire agreement between the
parties and all understandings and agreements previously made between Landlord and Tenant are
merged in this Lease, which alone fully and completely expresses their agreement. Tenant is
entering into this Lease after full investigation, and is not relying upon any statement or
representation made by the Landlord not embodied in this Lease.
Section 22.2 Written Approval. All references in this Lease to the consent or
approval of Landlord mean the written consent or approval of Landlord, duly executed by Landlord.
All consents or approvals of Landlord may be granted or withheld in Landlord’s sole discretion
unless specifically provided to the contrary in this Lease.
Section 22.3 No Money Damages. Wherever in this Lease Landlord’s consent or approval
is required, if Landlord refuses to grant such consent or approval, whether or not Landlord
expressly agreed that such consent or approval would not be unreasonably withheld, Tenant shall not
make, and Tenant hereby waives, any claim for money damages (including any claim by way of set-off,
counterclaim or defense) based upon Tenant’s claim or assertion that Landlord unreasonably withheld
or delayed its consent or approval, except that Tenant shall be entitled to its actual damages if
Landlord is determined to have acted maliciously and in bad faith pursuant to a final, unappealable
judgment from a court of competent jurisdiction. Tenant’s sole remedy shall be an action or
proceeding to enforce such provision, by specific performance, injunction or declaratory judgment.
In no event shall Landlord be liable for, and Tenant, on behalf of itself and all other Tenant
Parties, hereby waives any claim for, any indirect, consequential or punitive damages, including
loss of profits or business opportunity, arising under or in connection with this Lease.
89
ARTICLE 23
END OF TERM
Section 23.1 Expiration. Upon the expiration or other termination of this Lease,
Tenant shall quit and surrender the Premises to Landlord, vacant, broom clean and in good order and
condition, ordinary wear and tear and damage for which Tenant is not responsible under the terms of
this Lease excepted, and Tenant shall remove all of Tenant’s Property as may be required pursuant
to Article 5 of this Lease.
Section 23.2 Holdover Rent. Landlord and Tenant recognize that the damage to Landlord
resulting from any failure by Tenant to timely surrender possession of the Premises may be
substantial, may exceed the amount of the Rent theretofore payable hereunder, and will be
impossible to accurately measure. Tenant therefore agrees that if possession of the Premises is not
surrendered to Landlord on or before the Expiration Date or sooner termination of the Term, in
addition to any other rights or remedies Landlord may have hereunder or at law, Tenant shall:
(a) pay to Landlord (i) for the first 90 days during which Tenant holds over in the
Premises after the Expiration Date or sooner termination of the Term, a sum equal to (x) one
and one-half times the Rent (other than Percentage Rent) payable under this Lease for the
last full calendar month of the Term plus (y) the Percentage Rent payable under this Lease
for such period, and (ii) for each month (or portion thereof) thereafter, a sum equal to
(x) two times the Rent (other than Percentage Rent) payable under this Lease for the last
full calendar month of the Term plus (y) the Percentage Rent payable under this Lease, which
amounts shall be payable in lieu of any “use and occupancy” payment permitted or required by
law; and
90
(b) be liable to Landlord for any payment or rent concession which Landlord may be
required to make to any tenant obtained by Landlord for all or any part of the Premises (a
“New Tenant”) in order to induce such New Tenant not to terminate its lease by
reason of the holding-over by Tenant, provided that such new lease is fully executed prior
to the date upon which Tenant vacates the Premises and Landlord notifies Tenant that
Landlord will incur such payment or rent concession.
No holding-over by Tenant, nor the payment to Landlord of the amounts specified above, shall
operate to extend the Term hereof. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to permit Tenant to
retain possession of the Premises after the Expiration Date or sooner termination of this Lease,
and no acceptance by Landlord of payments from Tenant after the Expiration Date or sooner
termination of the Term shall be deemed to be other than on account of the amount to be paid by
Tenant in accordance with the provisions of this Article.
Section 23.3 Waiver of Stay. Tenant expressly waives, for itself and for any Person
claiming through or under Tenant, any rights which Tenant or any such Person may have under the
provisions of Section 2201 of the New York Civil Practice Law and Rules and of any
successor law of like import then in force, in connection with any holdover summary proceedings
which Landlord may institute to enforce the foregoing provisions of this Article.
ARTICLE 24
NO SURRENDER; NO WAIVER
Section 24.1 No Surrender or Release. No act or thing done by Landlord or Landlord’s
agents or employees during the Term shall be deemed an acceptance of a surrender of the Premises.
91
Section 24.2 No Waiver. No provision of this Lease shall be deemed to have been
waived by any party unless such waiver is in writing and is signed by the party against whom such
waiver is asserted, and any such waiver shall be effective only for the specific purpose and in the
specific instance in which given. The failure of either party to seek redress for violation of, or
to insist upon the strict performance of, any covenant or condition of this Lease, or any of the
Rules and Regulations, shall not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment for the future
performance of such obligations of this Lease or the Rules and Regulations, or of the right to
exercise such election but the same shall continue and remain in full force and effect with respect
to any subsequent breach, act or omission. The receipt by Landlord of any Rent payable pursuant to
this Lease or any other sums with knowledge of the breach of any covenant of this Lease shall not
be deemed a waiver of such breach. No payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount
than the monthly Fixed Rent or Additional Rent herein stipulated shall be deemed to be other than a
payment on account of the earliest stipulated Fixed Rent or Additional Rent, or as Landlord may
elect to apply such payment, nor shall any endorsement or acceptance of any check or other payment
in the face of a statement on such check or any letter accompanying such check or payment be deemed
an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to
Landlord’s right to recover the balance of such Fixed Rent or Additional Rent or pursue any other
remedy provided in this Lease. The existence of a right of renewal or extension of this Lease, or
the exercise of such right, shall not limit Landlord’s right to terminate this Lease in accordance
with the terms hereof.
92
ARTICLE 25
WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY
Landlord and Tenant hereby waive trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim
brought by either party against the other on any matters in any way arising out of or connected
with this Lease, the relationship of Landlord and Tenant, Tenant’s use or occupancy of the
Premises, or the enforcement of any remedy under any Requirement. If Landlord commences any summary
proceeding against Tenant, Tenant will not interpose any counterclaim of any nature or description
in any such proceeding (unless failure to impose such counterclaim would preclude Tenant from
asserting in a separate action the claim which is the subject of such counterclaim), and will not
seek to consolidate such proceeding with any other action which may have been or will be brought in
any other court by Tenant.
ARTICLE 26
INABILITY TO PERFORM
This Lease and the obligation of Tenant to pay Rent and to perform all of the other covenants
and agreements of Tenant hereunder shall not be affected, impaired or excused by any Unavoidable
Delays. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to promptly notify Tenant of any Unavoidable Delay
which prevents Landlord from fulfilling any of its obligations under this Lease, provided, that
Landlord’s insolvency or inability to pay its debts as they become due shall not constitute an
Unavoidable Delay with respect to this Article 26.
ARTICLE 27

requests, approvals or other communications given under this Lease shall be in

ARTICLE 28
RULES AND REGULATIONS
Tenant and all Tenant Parties shall observe and comply with the Rules and Regulations (which
do not relate to the Music Hall and solely relate to the Ancillary Space and which are consistent
with the Permitted Uses with respect to the Ancillary Space) as reasonably supplemented or amended
from time to time, provided, that in case of any conflict or inconsistency between the provisions
of this Lease and any of the Rules and Regulations as originally promulgated or as supplemented or
amended from time to time, the provisions of this Lease shall control. Landlord reserves the right,
from time to time, to adopt additional reasonable Rules and Regulations and to amend the Rules and
Regulations then in effect. Nothing contained in this Lease shall impose upon Landlord any
obligation to enforce the Rules and Regulations or terms, covenants or conditions in any other
lease against any other tenants in the Buildings, and Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for
violation of the Rules and Regulations by any other tenant, its employees, agents, visitors or
licensees, except that Landlord shall not adopt or enforce any Rule or Regulation against Tenant in
a discriminatory fashion. Tenant may challenge the “reasonableness” of any Rule or Regulation and
such challenge shall be determined pursuant to the “Dispute Resolution Procedure” set forth in
Article 38 of this Lease. Pending resolution of such dispute, Tenant shall comply with such
disputed Rule or Regulation if in Landlord’s good faith judgment, Tenant’s failure to do so would
have a material adverse affect on the operation of the Premises or on other occupants of the
Center.
ARTICLE 29
PARTNERSHIP TENANT
Section 29.1 Partnership Tenant. If Tenant, or a permitted assignee of this Lease
pursuant to Article 16, is a partnership, or is comprised of two or more Persons,
95
individually or as partners of a partnership (any such partnership and such Persons are
referred to in this Article 29 as “Partnership Tenant”), the following shall apply:
(i) the liability of each of the general partners (excluding Persons solely holding interests as
limited partners), each of the partners in a limited liability partnership or Persons comprising
Partnership Tenant (the “Partners”) shall be joint and several (subject to the inherent
limitations of liability of such business organization); (ii) each of the Partners hereby consents
in advance to, and agrees to be bound by, any written instrument which may hereafter be executed by
Partnership Tenant or any of the Partners, which shall modify, extend or discharge this Lease, in
whole or in part, or surrender all or any part of the Premises to Landlord; (iii) any bills,
statements, notices, demands, requests or other communications given or rendered to Partnership
Tenant; (iv) if Partnership Tenant shall admit new Partners, all new Partners shall, by their

organization; (v) Partnership Tenant shall give prompt notice to Landlord of the admission of any
new Partners, and upon demand of Landlord, shall cause each new Partner to execute and deliver to
Landlord an agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Landlord, wherein each new Partner
shall assume joint and several liability (subject to the inherent limitations of liability in such
business organization) for the performance of all the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease
on Tenant’s part to be observed and performed (but neither Landlord’s failure to request any such
agreement nor the failure of any new Partner to execute or deliver any such agreement to Landlord
shall vitiate the provisions of this Section 29.1); and (vi) no change in the Partners of
Partnership Tenant resulting from the admission of a new Partner, or the death, retirement or
withdrawal of a Partner shall release Partnership Tenant or any Partner or former Partner from
their obligations under this Lease.
96
Section 29.2 Change of Partners. If Tenant is a Partnership Tenant, (i) the admission
of new Partners, the withdrawal (in the ordinary course of business), retirement, death,
incompetency or bankruptcy of any Partner, or the reallocation of partnership interests among the
Partners shall not constitute an assignment of this Lease unless Partners holding in the aggregate
not less than 51 % of the partnership interests in Partnership Tenant immediately prior to such
event remain as Partners holding not less than 51% of the partnership interests in Partnership
Tenant during the 12-month period immediately following such event (i.e., the transfer, by any of
the foregoing means, of more than 49% of the partnership interests in Partnership Tenant, except
among the Partners, in any consecutive 12-month period shall constitute an assignment of this Lease
subject to the provisions of Article 16), and (ii) the reorganization of Partnership Tenant
into a professional corporation or a limited liability partnership, or the reorganization of Tenant
from a professional corporation or a limited liability partnership into a partnership, shall not
constitute an assignment of this Lease, if immediately following such reorganization the Partners
or shareholders, as the case may be, of Tenant shall be less than 51% of those existing immediately
prior to such reorganization, and shall remain fully liable, jointly and severally, under this
Lease as provided in this Article 29 (subject to the inherent limitations of liability in
such business organization).
ARTICLE 30
VAULT SPACE
Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease or indicated on any sketch, blueprint or
plan, no vaults, vault space or other space outside the boundaries of the Real Property are
included in the Premises. Landlord makes no representation as to the location of the boundaries of
the Real Property. All vaults and vault space and all other space outside the boundaries of the
Real Property which Tenant may be permitted to use or occupy are to be
97
used or occupied under a revocable license. If any such license shall be revoked. or if the
amount of such space shall be diminished as required by any Governmental Authority or by any public
utility company, such revocation, diminution or requisition shall not (i) constitute an actual or
constructive eviction, in whole or in part, (ii) entitle Tenant to any abatement or diminution of
Rent, (iii) relieve Tenant from any of its obligations under this Lease, or (iv) impose any
liability upon Landlord. Any fee, tax or charge imposed by any Governmental Authority for any such
vaults, vault space or other space occupied by Tenant shall be paid by Tenant.

of such parties arising out of, or in any way connected with, this Lease, the Buildings or the

entity procured or negotiated this Lease or is entitled to any fee or commission in connection
herewith.

Exhibits A-5 and A-6 (all or any portion of such space, “Offer Space”),
shall become available for leasing, Landlord shall deliver notice thereof to Tenant (the “Offer
Notice”) setting forth (a) a description (including the location and configuration) of the

if any, to be provided to the Offer Space and other material business terms upon which Landlord is
willing to lease the Offer Space, and the date upon which Landlord anticipates that Landlord will

105
thereupon be modified as provided in Section 37.4. Time shall be of the essence as to
Tenant’s giving of any Acceptance Notice. The Offer Option may be exercised only with respect to
all of the Offer Space which is the subject of an Offer Notice. If Tenant fails to timely give an
Acceptance Notice with respect to such Offer Space, Landlord shall be free to lease such Offer
Space to any third party or to otherwise dispose of such Offer Space and Tenant shall be deemed to
have waived the Offer Option with respect to the applicable Offer Space and shall have no further
right with respect thereto; provided that if Landlord fails to lease such space within 12 months
after the expiration of such Acceptance Period and provided Landlord is not in active negotiations

pursuant to a lease or other agreement, and such space shall not be deemed to be “available for
leasing”. Subject to clause (b) of the first sentence of this Section 37.2. Landlord agrees
that from and after the date hereof, it will not grant any rights to any Person or entity with
respect to the Offer Space unless such rights are subordinate to the rights granted Tenant
hereunder, except (i) to tenants or other occupants leasing or occupying the Offer Space as of the
date hereof, or (ii) to new tenants or occupants of any portion of the Offer Space in question
after Landlord shall have duly offered such portion of the Offer Space to Tenant pursuant to this
Article 37 and Tenant has not elected to lease such Offer Space in accordance with
106
Section 37.1. Nothing set forth in this Article 37 shall be construed to limit

sole discretion, to do so, and such vacant space shall in no event be deemed to be available for
leasing hereunder.
Section 37.3 Conditions to Exercise. Tenant shall have no right to exercise the Offer
Option unless, on the date of the Acceptance Notice and on the Offer Space Commencement Date (as

(iii) Tenant’s obligations under this Lease with respect to the Premises and the Offer Space shall
not be affected thereby except that the term of the lease with respect to the Offer Space shall not
commence until Landlord shall deliver vacant possession of the Offer Space to Tenant. The terms set
forth in the preceding provisions of this Section 37.5 are intended to constitute “an
express provision to the contrary” within the meaning of Section 223-a of the New York Real
Property Law or any successor Requirement.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 37.5, if
Landlord shall have failed to deliver possession of such Offer Space on or before the date which is
one (1) year after the anticipated Offer Space Commencement Date set forth in the Offer Notice by
reason of the holding over or retention of possession of any tenant or other occupant or for any
other reason, then Tenant shall have the right to withdraw its Acceptance Notice by written notice

one (1) year period unless prior to the giving of such notice or within ten (10) days thereafter
Landlord shall have delivered vacant possession of such Offer Space to Tenant.

respect to the Fixed Rent for the Offer Space, Tenant shall give notice to Landlord with Tenant’s

same and charge Tenant for the reasonable out-of-pocket cost of such removal and disposition and
any repairs necessitated thereby, which shall be payable to Landlord as Additional Rent.

breach of the provisions of this Article 39 are difficult, if not impossible, to ascertain
and concedes that, among other remedies for such breach permitted by law or the provisions of this

actions which would be prohibited by the Restrictive Lease Provisions;

any video programming relating thereto (the “Christmas Tree Broadcast Rights”), the
Restricted Owners shall in good faith negotiate with NBC the terms on
- 9 -
which the Restricted Owners would be willing to license such Christmas Tree Broadcast Rights
to NBC. If the Restricted Owners and NBC fail to reach a definitive, final written agreement on
such terms within thirty (30) days after the Restricted Owners commence such good faith
negotiations with NBC, the Restricted Owners shall have no further obligation to NBC with respect
to the Christmas Tree Broadcast Rights and thereafter shall be entitled to license the Christmas
Tree Broadcast Rights to any third party on such terms and conditions as the Restricted Owners may
deem appropriate; provided, however, that if the terms of such license (including
the price or other terms or conditions of such license) are materially more favorable to the
licensee than the terms on which the Restricted Owners previously offered to license such Christmas
Tree Broadcast Rights to NBC (as determined by the Restricted Owners in good faith), then the
Restricted Owners shall notify NBC, in writing, of such determination, and NBC shall have the
right, exercisable within ten (10) days after its receipt of such notice from the Restricted
Owners, to execute and deliver to the Restricted Owners a binding agreement on the same terms as
were offered to such proposed third-party licensee. Notwithstanding anything set forth in this
Declaration to the contrary, the provisions contained in Sections 2.01 (b), 2.01(c) and 2.01(d)

ARTICLE 5
LIMITATION ON REMEDIES
The sole remedy for any breach of any covenant or restriction set forth in this Declaration
shall be declaratory or injunctive relief, and NBC shall not have any right to seek or obtain
damages at law for any breach of any such covenant or restriction; provided,
however. that NBC shall have the right to seek and obtain damages at law against a
Restricted Owner upon the third or any later separate breach, in a similar manner, of any covenant
or restriction contained in this Declaration if (and only if) (i) NBC shall have given notice to
such Restricted Owner of such similar breach in each instance, and (ii) with respect to at least
one (1) such similar breach occurring prior to a breach for which damages at law shall be sought,
NBC shall have obtained (prior to the occurrence of such breach for which damages at law shall be
sought) a preliminary injunction (as distinguished from a temporary restraining order) or a
declaratory judgment from a court of competent jurisdiction (which injunction or judgment shall not
have been reversed, overturned on appeal or vacated prior to the date upon which NBC files its
suit, action or proceeding seeking damages against a Restricted Owner) that such Restricted Owner
did so breach the covenant or restriction in question (any such injunction or judgment, a
“Determination”) it being understood that the pendency of an appeal or motion to vacate at the time
of such filing by NBC or any later reversal or decision on such appeal or motion to vacate shall
have no effect on NBC’s right to seek or obtain such damages. It is further understood and agreed
that (a) a written agreement or acknowledgment from a Restricted Owner stating that such Restricted
Owner breached any covenant or restriction contained in this Declaration shall be deemed to
constitute a Determination with respect to such breach, and (b) each Restricted Owner hereby agrees
that in connection with any declaratory or injunctive relief sought by NBC hereunder, such
Restricted Owner shall waive its right to raise or assert (and shall not raise or assert), as a
defense or otherwise, in any such action for declaratory or injunctive relief, that the alleged
breach in controversy is not justiciable because the dispute at issue has become moot, or because
the act, omission, or conduct which gave rise to such action is no longer continuing or will not
occur in the future.

SCHEDULE 2
PERCENTAGE RENT
(a) Percentage Rent. From and after the Rent Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay to
Landlord as Rent for each calendar year (or portion thereof) during the Term (“Computation Year”),
a sum (“Percentage Rent”) equal to the amount, if any, by which (i) Tenant’s Gross Revenues
(as defined in Section (d)(i)) for any Computation Year multiplied by
***** (the “Percentage Rent Rate”) exceeds (ii) the Fixed Rent for the Premises
payable for such Computation Year. For the purposes of computing the amount of Percentage Rent
due, each Computation Year shall be considered as an independent accounting period and no charge or
credit may be taken in any subsequent Computation Year on account of any Gross Revenues in any
prior Computation Year.
(b) Payment Schedule. Percentage Rent shall be determined and paid, without any prior
demand therefor, from and after the Rent Commencement Date, as follows:
(i) No later than 45 days after the close of each calendar quarter during the Term
(and no later than 90 days following the Expiration Date), Tenant shall deliver to Landlord
a true, correct and complete statement in form from time to time provided by Landlord,
calculated on an accrual basis in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles,
consistently applied and certified by an authorized officer or agent of Tenant (a
“Quarterly Statement”), showing (A) Tenant’s Gross Revenues made (1) in the
preceding calendar quarter and (2) for the entire elapsed portion of the current
Computation Year, including the preceding calendar quarter, and including a detailed
itemization of all exclusions therefrom as permitted under Section (d), (B) all
payments of Percentage Rent previously made by Tenant in respect of such Computation Year
and (C) a calculation of Percentage Rent then due. Simultaneously with the rendition of
each Quarterly Statement, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a quarterly installment of
Percentage Rent equal to the difference between (I) the amount, if any, by which (a) the
Percentage Rent Rate multiplied by Tenant’s Gross Revenues for the entire
elapsed portion of the current Computation Year, including the calendar quarter for
which such installment of Percentage Rent is being calculated, exceeds (b) the product of
the Fixed Rent payable for such Computation Year multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of
which is the number of months in such elapsed portion of the current Computation Year, and
the denominator of which is 12 (or, if the number of months in such Computation Year is
less than 12, then the number of months in such Computation Year) less (II) the aggregate
Percentage Rent previously paid by Tenant in respect of such elapsed potion of the current
Computation Year. In the event of a partial calendar month occurring in such Computation
Year, there shall be an equitable adjustment of such calculation to provide for such
partial calendar month.
(ii) No later than 90 days after the close of each
Computation Year during the Term, and within 90 days
after the Expiration Date, Tenant shall deliver to
Landlord, a true, correct and complete statement of
Gross Revenues for the preceding Computation Year
(an “Annual Statement”), calculated on an
accrual basis and setting forth (A) Gross Revenues
for such Computation Year and itemizing all
permissible exclusions therefrom as set forth in
Section (d), (B) the amount of Percentage
Rent paid by Tenant in respect of such Computation
Year, and (C) the amount of any deficiency or excess
of Percentage Rent paid by Tenant in respect of such
Computation Year. Each Annual Statement shall be
certified by a nationally recognized independent certified public accountant
reasonably acceptable to Landlord to be in accordance with the requirements of Section
(d) and with generally accepted accounting principles. Simultaneously with the
rendition of each Annual Statement, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount of any
deficiency shown on the Annual Statement. If the Annual Statement shows an excess of
Percentage Rent in respect of such Computation Year, then so long as no Event of Default
shall exist under this Lease, Landlord shall credit the amount of such overpayment against
the next accruing installments of Rent due under this Lease.
S-2-2
(c) Delivery of Annual Statement. If Tenant fails to deliver an Annual Statement to
Landlord within such 90-day period, Landlord shall have the right to employ an independent
certified public accountant to examine such of Tenant’s books and records as may be necessary to
certify the amount of Tenant’s Gross Revenues for such Computation Year, and Tenant shall pay to
Landlord the cost thereof upon demand as Additional Rent. The acceptance by Landlord of payments
of Percentage Rent or reports of Gross Revenues shall be without prejudice and shall in no event
constitute a waiver of Landlord’s right to claim a deficiency or to audit Tenant’s books and
records as provided herein.
(d) Gross Revenues. (i) “Gross
Revenues” mean *****
S-2-3
(ii) If requested by Landlord, Tenant shall submit to Landlord photocopies of the federal, sales,
state or local sales tax or similar tax returns filed by Tenant promptly after filing with the
appropriate governmental authority. If any governmental authority shall increase the Gross
Revenues reported by Tenant on any such tax return, after audit, for any Computation Year for which
such Gross Revenues have been reported and if such adjustment affects “Gross Revenues” as defined
in this paragraph, then Tenant shall notify Landlord promptly of such increase and shall supply to
Landlord a true copy of such audit within 20 days thereafter, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord at
that time any additional Percentage Rent due, with interest thereon at the
Base Rate from the date upon which Tenant should have paid such Percentage Rent through the
date paid.
(e) Tenant’s Records. Tenant shall prepare, keep and maintain at the Premises or at
Tenant’s principal office within New York City, for a period of not less than 3 years following the
end of each Computation Year and following the Expiration Date (with respect to the final
Computation Year), complete and accurate books of account and records of, but not limited to, all
purchases and receipts of merchandise, inventories and all sales and other transactions by Tenant
from which Tenant’s Gross Revenues from the Music Hall or the Club can be determined. Tenant shall
record all sales, at the time each sale is made, whether for cash or credit using either (i)
non-resettable electronic cash registers or cash registers containing locked-in cumulative tapes
with cumulative capacity, in each case reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, or (ii) a system of
duplicate sales slips, invoices or non-resettable cash register receipts, serially numbered, or
such other method for recording sales as Landlord approves in its sole judgment. Tenant shall keep
for at least 3 years following the end of each Computation Year (or if Landlord and Tenant are
disputing the computation of Gross Revenues for any Computation Year, such longer period of time as
may be required until the final resolution of such dispute) all pertinent original sales books and
records, which records shall include:
S-2-4
(A) daily dated register tapes; (B) serially
numbered sales slips; (C) mail orders; (D)
telephone orders; (E) settlement report sheets of
transactions with subtenants, concessionaires and
licensees; (F) records showing that merchandise
returned by customers was purchased by such
customer at or from the Music Hall or the Club; (G)
duplicate bank deposit slips and bank statements;
and (H) such other records as would normally be
required to be kept and examined by an independent
accountant in accordance with accepted auditing
practices in performing an audit of Tenant’s Gross
Revenues; and all income, sales and occupancy tax
returns. All of Tenant’s obligations under this
Section (e) shall survive the
Expiration Date for a period of 3 years (or if Landlord and Tenant are disputing the
computation of Gross Revenues for any Computation Year such longer period of time as may be
required until the final resolution of such dispute).
(f) Landlord’s Right to Audit. If Tenant shall fail to submit to Landlord (i) any
Annual Statement on the date due, and such failure continues for 5 days after notice from Landlord,
or (ii) any Quarterly Statement on the date due, and such failure continues for 5 days after notice
from Landlord in any 2 quarters, whether or not consecutive, in any period of 12 months, then
Landlord shall have the right to perform a complete audit, at Tenant’s expense, of Tenant’s books
of accounts and records of Gross Revenues. Landlord shall also have the right, at any time from
time to time, to perform a complete audit of any one or more Quarterly or Annual Statements, and in
connection with such audit, to examine Tenant’s books of account and records of Gross Revenues, and
Tenant shall make all such books of account and records available for examination by Landlord in
the Borough of Manhattan, City of New York. Tenant shall permit Landlord to make copies of any
such books, records and information as Landlord may require in connection with such audit, at
Tenant’s cost and expense. Tenant shall pay to Landlord within 10 Business Days after demand any
additional Percentage Rent which such audit discloses is due to Landlord, with interest thereon at
the Interest Rate from the date upon which Tenant should have paid such Percentage Rent through the
date paid. In addition, if (A) such audit discloses that the actual amount of Gross Revenues
differs from the amount reported by more than 5%, or (B) the Person conducting such audit reports
that, in its
S-2-5
opinion, Tenant’s records and procedures are insufficient to permit an accurate determination
of Gross Revenues for any period, Tenant shall also pay the costs of such audit as Additional Rent
to Landlord within 5 days following rendition of a xxxx therefor. Upon reasonable written notice,
Tenant shall permit Landlord to examine Tenant’s books of account and records and record-keeping
procedures during regular business hours, and to have a representative present on the Premises from
time to time to check, verify and tabulate Gross Revenues and to evaluate Tenant’s control features
affecting the determination of Gross Revenues. All of Landlord’s rights of inspection, audit,
examination and evaluation granted pursuant to this Section (f) may be exercised by
Landlord’s accountants or other authorized agents or representatives. Subject to any Requirements,
Landlord agrees to maintain the information obtained from such audit in strict confidence, except
that Landlord may reveal such documentation to its employees and consultants who are actively
involved in such audit, provided that such employees and consultants agree to maintain such
information confidential.
(g) Tenant’s Dispute Right. If Tenant shall dispute Landlord’s determination that
Tenant owes additional Percentage Rent pursuant to paragraph (f) above, Tenant shall notify
Landlord of such dispute within 60 days after Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s xxxx for such
additional Percentage Rent and such dispute shall be resolved in accordance with the Dispute
Resolution Procedure set forth in Section 38.1. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant’s
right to dispute such Landlord’s determination shall be conditioned upon Tenant’s payment in full
to Landlord of all amounts of additional Percentage Rent as set forth in Landlord’s xxxx.

other improvement made or acquired which is either (A) a labor-saving measure or to effect other
economies in the operation, maintenance or repair of the Center (but only to the extent that the
annual benefits anticipated to be realized therefrom are reasonably related to the annual amounts

Materials classified as such and existing in the Premises as of the date hereof and required

hereof.
(g) Operating Expense Payments. (i) If the Expense Factor for any Computation Year
exceeds the Base Expense Factor, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent during each
Computation Year, an amount (“Tenant’s Operating Payment”) equal to (A) Tenant’s Retail
Space Area, multiplied by (B) the amount by which the Expense Factor for such Computation Year
exceeds the Base Expense Factor. For each Computation Year, Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a
statement setting forth Landlord’s good faith estimate of Tenant’s Operating Payment for such
Computation Year. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, on the first day of each month during such
Computation Year, an amount equal to one-twelfth of Landlord’s estimate of Tenant’s Operating
Payment for such Computation Year. If Landlord does not furnish any such estimate for a
Computation Year until after the commencement thereof, then (1) until the first day of the month
following the month in which such estimate is furnished to Tenant, Tenant shall pay to Landlord on
the first day of each month an amount equal to the monthly sum payable by Tenant to Landlord under
this subsection (g) during the last month of the preceding Computation Year, (2) promptly
after such estimate is furnished to Tenant or together therewith, Landlord shall give notice to
Tenant stating whether the installments of Tenant’s Operating Payment previously made for such
Computation Year were greater or less than the installments of Tenant’s Operating Payment to be
made for such Computation Year in accordance with such estimate, and (X) if there shall be a
deficiency, Tenant shall pay the amount thereof within 10 Business Days after demand
S-3-5
therefor or (Y) if there shall have been an overpayment, Landlord shall credit the amount
thereof against subsequent installments of Rent due hereunder, and (3) on the first day of the
month following the month in which such estimate is furnished to Tenant, and on the first day of
each month thereafter throughout the remainder of such Computation Year, Tenant shall pay to
Landlord an amount equal to one-twelfth of Tenant’s Operating Payment shown on such estimate.
(ii) Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a Landlord’s Statement of Operating Expenses for each
Computation Year. If such Landlord’s Statement shows that the sums paid by Tenant under
subsection (g) exceeded the actual amount of Tenant’s Operating Payment for such
Computation Year, Landlord shall credit the amount of such excess against subsequent installments
of Rent due hereunder. If Landlord’s Statement for such Computation Year shows that the sums so
paid by Tenant were less than Tenant’s Operating Payment for such Computation Year, Tenant shall
pay the amount of such deficiency within 10 Business Days after Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s
Statement.
(h) Certain Adjustments. (i) If the Center Operating Area is increased or decreased,
from time to time, pursuant to subsection (c), then from and after the date of such
election, Operating Expenses for purposes of this Lease shall be limited to that portion of the
Operating Expenses of the Center which is properly allocable, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, to
the space included in the Center Operating Area. Such allocation shall be performed by Landlord in
good faith in a manner consistent with the methods and principles employed by Landlord in computing
Operating Expenses prior to the date of such election.
S-3-6
(ii) If during all or any part of any Computation Year (including the Base Operating Year)
Landlord is not furnishing any particular work or service (the cost of which, if performed by
Landlord, would constitute an Operating Expense) to a rentable portion of the Center which is not
then leased, Operating Expenses for such period shall include an amount equal to the costs and
expenses which would reasonably have been incurred for such work or service during such period by
Landlord if the Center had been 95% leased and occupied.
(iii) If during all or any part of any Computation Year (including the Base Operating Year)
Landlord is not obligated to furnish any particular work or service (the cost of which, if
performed by Landlord, would constitute an Operating Expense) to any portion of the Center (other
than to space not then leased), then notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in
subsection (f), the amount included in Operating Expenses for such period with respect to
such work or service shall be equal to the product of (i) the Center Operating Area multiplied by
(ii) the quotient expressed in dollars and cents, of (A) the costs and expenses actually incurred
by Landlord during such period to furnish such work or service, divided by (B) the area of the
Center to which Landlord provides such work or service.
(i) Non-Waiver. Landlord’s failure to render a Landlord’s Statement on a timely basis
with respect to any Computation Year shall not prejudice Landlord’s right to thereafter render a
Landlord’s Statement with respect to such Computation Year or any subsequent Computation Year, nor
shall the rendering of a Landlord’s Statement prejudice Landlord’s right to thereafter render a
corrected Landlord’s Statement for any Computation Year.
S-3-7
(j) Tenant Disputes. Each Landlord’s Statement sent to Tenant shall be conclusively
binding upon Tenant unless Tenant shall (A) within 30 days after such statement is sent, pay to
Landlord the amount set forth in such statement, without prejudice to Tenant’s right to dispute
such statement, and (B) within 60 days after such statement is sent, send a notice to Landlord
objecting to such statement and specifying the reasons for Tenant’s claim that such statement is
incorrect. Tenant covenants and agrees that Tenant will not employ, in connection with any dispute
under this Lease, any Person who is to be compensated, in whole or in part, on a contingency fee
basis. If the parties are unable to resolve any such dispute within 30 days following the giving
of Tenant’s notice of objection, either party may refer the issues raised to an independent firm of
certified public accountants selected by Landlord and reasonably acceptable to Tenant, and the
decision of such accountants shall be conclusively binding upon Landlord and Tenant. In connection
therewith, Tenant and such accountants shall execute and deliver to Landlord a confidentiality
agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, whereby such parties agree
not to disclose to any third party any of the information obtained in connection with such review,
or the substance of any admissions or stipulations by any party in connection therewith, or of any
resulting reconciliation, compromise or settlement. Tenant shall pay the fees and expenses
relating to such procedure, unless such accountants shall determine that Landlord overstated the
Expense Factor by more than 5% for such Computation Year, as finally determined, in which case
Landlord shall pay such fees and expenses.
