For purposes of this Lease (including with respect to the RTS Build-out Work), “Substantial Completion” or “Substantially Completed” means full completion of (i) the item(s) of Base Building Work in question substantially in accordance with the Base Building Criteria therefor and in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements, (ii) the RTS Build-out Work substantially in accordance the RTS Final CDs and the provisions of Article 44 hereof or (iii) any other work or alterations performed hereunder, as applicable, except (a) in the case of Base Building Work, for any item(s) of Base Building Work, or the RTS Build-out Work, for any item(s) of RTS Build-out Work, which, in accordance with good construction scheduling practices, should only be completed after Substantial Completion by Tenant of one or more item(s) of Tenant’s Initial Work (it being agreed that Landlord shall commence completion of any such item(s) of Base Building Work or the RTS Build-out Work, as the case may be, within five (5) Business Days (or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter) after Landlord’s receipt of notice from Tenant of Substantial Completion of the item(s) of Tenant’s Initial Work in question, and Landlord shall prosecute completion of such deferred item(s) of Base Building Work and/or the RTS Build-out Work, as the case may be, diligently and with continuity until completion); it being agreed that any such deferred item(s) of (x) Base Building Work shall not be a condition to the satisfaction of the Initial Delivery Conditions, the Interim Delivery Conditions, or the Occupancy Date Delivery Conditions, as applicable or (y) the RTS Build-out Work (including the matters set forth in Section 44.01B(vii) hereof) shall not be a condition of the RTS Commencement Date or satisfaction of the RTS Ready for Occupancy Conditions; and (b)(1) with respect to any work or alterations under clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above, minor or
45
insubstantial details of construction, decoration, mechanical adjustment or installation, the non-completion of which (A) after the Commencement Date will not interfere (by more than a de minimis extent) with Tenant’s performance of Tenant’s Initial Work or (B) after the Occupancy Date will not interfere (by more than a de minimis extent) with Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises for the normal conduct of Tenant’s business and (2) with respect to the Base Building Work or the RTS Build-out Work, as applicable, such minor or insubstantial items (collectively, the “Punch List Items”) as shall have been identified in writing by Tenant after Tenant shall have been afforded access to inspect the Base Building Work or the RTS Build-out Work, as the case may be, and the Demised Premises on the Walk-Through Date or the RTS Walk-Through Date, as applicable, or otherwise. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord the list of Punch List Items relating to the Initial Delivery Conditions, the Interim Delivery Conditions, the Occupancy Date Delivery Conditions, or the Post-Delivery Conditions as and when applicable as provided herein no later than five (5) Business Days after the Walk-Through Date therefor. If Tenant fails to give notice of such list, the applicable Initial Delivery Conditions, the Interim Delivery Conditions, the Occupancy Date Delivery Conditions, or the Post-Delivery Conditions, as the case may be, shall be deemed satisfied as of the date set forth in the applicable Confirmation Notice. If within five (5) Business Days after Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s notice of Punch List Items, Landlord and Tenant have not agreed upon a final list of the Punch List Items in writing, either party may submit any dispute concerning the list of Punch List Items to arbitration pursuant to Section 25.02 hereof. The requirements relating to Punch List Items in respect of the RTS Build-out Work are set forth in Section 44.01B(iii) hereof.
G.
(i)
Landlord shall notify Tenant at least fifteen (15) Business Days in advance of the anticipated satisfaction of the Initial Delivery Conditions, the Interim Delivery Conditions, the Occupancy Date Delivery Conditions, or any of the Post-Delivery Conditions, as the case may be, (each, a “Delivery Condition Notice”) setting forth the date on which Landlord reasonably believes the Initial Delivery Conditions, the Interim Delivery Conditions, the Occupancy Date Delivery Conditions, or any of the Post-Delivery Conditions, as the case may be, will be satisfied (such date, as the same may be revised by the Confirmation Notice, is referred to herein as the “Anticipated Delivery Date”).
(ii)
At least five (5) Business Days prior to the applicable Anticipated Delivery Date specified in a Delivery Condition Notice, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a second notice (the “Confirmation Notice”) confirming the Anticipated Delivery Date set forth in a Delivery Condition Notice, or if such delivery date is no longer expected to be met by Landlord, the Confirmation Notice shall set forth the revised anticipated delivery date (which may be later but not earlier than the Anticipated Delivery Date set forth in the applicable Delivery Condition Notice).
(iii)
Within five (5) Business Days after Tenant’s receipt of a Confirmation Notice, Tenant shall establish a date (which date shall be no later than five (5) Business Days after Tenant’s receipt of the applicable Confirmation Notice) reasonably acceptable to Landlord (a “Walk-Through Date”) on which Landlord and Tenant shall jointly inspect the Premises to determine if the applicable Initial Delivery Conditions, the Interim Delivery Conditions, the Occupancy Date Delivery Conditions, or the Post-Delivery Conditions, as the case may be, have been satisfied in accordance with the terms of this Section
46
2.02. After the delivery to Tenant of a Confirmation Notice, and upon reasonable prior notice from Landlord, Tenant shall use reasonable efforts to meet with Landlord at the Building, accompanied by Tenant’s Construction Representative and such of Tenant’s architectural, engineering and/or construction consultants as Tenant may reasonably designate or Landlord shall have reasonably requested, prior to the Anticipated Delivery Date specified in the Confirmation Notice, in order to assist Landlord in identifying any incomplete Initial Delivery Conditions, incomplete Interim Delivery Conditions, incomplete Occupancy Date Delivery Conditions, or incomplete Post-Delivery Conditions, as the case may be, and to facilitate preparation of a draft list of Punch List Items. Any failure of Tenant to reasonably agree on a Walk-Through Date and/or meet with Landlord on a scheduled Walk-Through Date for any reason whatsoever shall be deemed a waiver of Tenant’s right to have a Walk-Through Date and a waiver of Tenant’s right to raise any Punch List Items or Incomplete Work that may reasonably be expected to have been discovered on any such Walk-Through Date.
(iv)
In the event that following any joint inspection held on a Walk-Through Date, Tenant reasonably believes that the applicable Initial Delivery Conditions, the Interim Delivery Conditions, the Occupancy Date Delivery Conditions, Post-Delivery Conditions, or previously identified and agreed to Incomplete Work, as the case may be, have not been satisfied in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.02, then, within three (3) Business Days after such Walk-Through Date, Tenant shall furnish Landlord with a written list of incomplete Base Building Work (the “Incomplete Work”) which Tenant reasonably believes must be completed in order for the applicable Initial Delivery Conditions, the Interim Delivery Conditions, the Occupancy Date Delivery Conditions, or the Post-Delivery Conditions, as applicable, to be so satisfied, or previously identified and agreed to Incomplete Work, as the case may be, to be completed. If Tenant fails to furnish a list of Incomplete Work within such time period it shall be deemed to be that there is no Incomplete Work. In the event that Landlord disagrees with Tenant as to the items of Incomplete Work listed by Tenant such matter shall be resolved by arbitration in accordance with Section 25.02 hereof and the items (if any) on Tenant’s list which the Arbitrator determines to be incomplete shall be deemed to be the Incomplete Work hereunder, and the remainder thereof shall be deemed to be Punch List Items. To the extent any Incomplete Work is not a Punch List Item as agreed by the parties or by arbitration as provided in the previous sentence, Landlord shall cause such Incomplete Work to be completed and, once Landlord reasonably believes such Incomplete Work has been completed, Landlord and Tenant will conduct a joint inspection, not later than three (3) Business Days following Landlord’s notice to Tenant of such completion, to determine if the Incomplete Work has been Substantially Completed; it being agreed that the date of such joint inspection shall constitute a Walk-Through Date hereunder.
(v)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, in no event shall the Initial Delivery Conditions, the Interim Delivery Conditions, the Occupancy Date Delivery Conditions, nor any Post-Delivery Conditions not be
47
deemed to have been satisfied because of Landlord’s failure to Substantially Complete items of Base Building Work and/or Incomplete Work, the non-completion of which does not (A) after the Outside Initial Delivery Conditions Date, impede, delay or otherwise interfere (by more than a de minimis extent) with the completion of Tenant’s Initial Work (it being agreed that the Hoist Impacted Areas and any incomplete Hoist Area Work shall not be deemed to impede, delay or otherwise interfere with the completion of Tenant’s Initial Work, provided such Hoist Area Work is completed by the Outside Post-Delivery Conditions Date) or (B) after the Occupancy Date, interfere (by more than a de minimis extent) with the use by Tenant of the Initial Office Space or the Storage Space for the purposes permitted by Article 5 hereof.
(vi)
Landlord, at its sole cost and expense, shall complete all Punch List Items(s) relating to the Initial Office Space and the Storage Space in accordance with good construction practices as soon as practicable (but in any event, subject to extension due to Force Majeure or Tenant Delays, within forty five (45) days) after (A) the date when Landlord and Tenant shall have confirmed their agreement to a list of Punch List Items in writing, or (B) the date when the Punch List Items in question have been determined by an Arbitrator pursuant to Section 25.02 hereof, except for any Punch List Item(s) which (1) in accordance with good construction scheduling practices should only be completed after completion by Tenant of one or more item(s) of Tenant’s Initial Work (it being agreed that Landlord shall commence completion of any such Punch List Items within five (5) Business Days (or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter) after Landlord’s receipt of notice from Tenant of completion of the item(s) of Tenant’s Initial Work in question, and Landlord shall prosecute completion of such Punch List Item(s) diligently and with continuity until completion), and (2) cannot, with due diligence, be completed within such forty five (45) day period, provided that promptly (but not more than three (3) Business Days) after the dates set forth in clauses (A) or (B) above, Landlord shall diligently commence and prosecute the same with continuity to completion).
H.
(i)
Subject to extension due to Force Majeure and Tenant Delay, Landlord agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause all of the Initial Delivery Conditions to be satisfied by (but not before) February 1, 2007. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, but subject to the provisions of Section 2.02H(iii) hereof:
(A)
if by April 1, 2007 (the “Outside Initial Delivery Conditions Date”), the Initial Delivery Conditions have not been satisfied (or deemed satisfied) as provided herein, then as liquidated damages for such delay, and not as a penalty, the Rent Commencement Date shall, subject to the provisions of clauses (B) and (C) of this Section 2.02H(i), be deferred by one and one half (1½) days for each day from and after April 1, 2007 until the Initial Delivery Conditions have been satisfied (or deemed satisfied) as provided herein;
(B)
if by June 1, 2007, the Initial Delivery Conditions have not been satisfied (or deemed satisfied) as provided herein, then as liquidated
48
damages for such delay, and not as a penalty, the deferral of the Rent Commencement Date described in clause (A) of this Section 2.02H(i) shall, subject to the provisions of clause (C) of this Section 2.02H(i), from and after June 1, 2007, be increased to two (2) days for each day from and after June 1, 2007 until the Initial Delivery Conditions have been satisfied (or deemed satisfied) as provided herein; and
(C)
if by February 1, 2008 (as such date may be extended in accordance with the terms hereof, the “Initial Delivery Conditions Delay Sublease Date”), the Initial Delivery Conditions have not been satisfied (or deemed satisfied) as provided herein, then as liquidated damages for such delay, and not as a penalty, the deferral of the Rent Commencement Date described in clause (B) of this Section 2.02H(i) shall from and after February 1, 2008, be increased to three (3) days until the Initial Delivery Conditions have been satisfied (or deemed satisfied) as provided herein and, in such event, Tenant shall have the right, subject to the terms hereof, to sublet the entire Demised Premises pursuant to an Excessive Delivery Delay Sublease.
(ii)
It is specifically understood and agreed that solely for purposes of determining the number of days of deferral of the Rent Commencement Date that Tenant may be entitled to under Section 2.02H(i) hereof and/or as a result of any Landlord Delay as provided in Section 2.02N hereof or Force Majeure delays as provided in Section 2.02Q hereof, the parties expressly agree that delays arising from failure to satisfy any of the Initial Delivery Conditions by the applicable dates set forth in Section 2.02H(i) or on account of Landlord Delays or Force Majeure, are not intended to be cumulative (or “double counted”), and that if any of the delays referred to therein occur simultaneously or occur simultaneously with any Landlord Delays or Force Majeure delays, then to the extent of such simultaneous occurrence such delays shall be deemed to run concurrently and not consecutively.
(iii)
Each of the dates described in Section 2.02H(i) hereof shall be extended on a day-for-day basis for each day of (A) Tenant Delay and (B) Force Majeure delays; it being agreed, however, that any such extension of such dates is not intended to be cumulative (or “double counted”), and that if more than one Tenant Delay or more than one Force Majeure event would actually delay Landlord in satisfying the Initial Delivery Conditions, but such events and the delays caused by them occur simultaneously, then, to the extent of such simultaneous occurrence, such delays (whether caused by Tenant Delays, by Force Majeure or both) shall be deemed to run concurrently and not consecutively.
(iv)
Other than as expressly provided in Section 2.02R hereof, the damages provided herein shall be Tenant’s sole and exclusive remedies in the event that Landlord fails to satisfy any of the conditions of Section 2.02H(i) hereof.

50
delays caused by them occur simultaneously, then, to the extent of such simultaneous occurrence, such delays (whether caused by Tenant Delays, by Force Majeure or both) shall be deemed to run concurrently and not consecutively.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, but subject to the provisions of Section 2.02K(ii) hereof, Landlord agrees that the Occupancy Date Delivery Conditions with respect to the Initial Office Space shall be satisfied in accordance with this Section 2.02K by August 1, 2007 (the “Outside Occupancy Date Delivery Conditions Date”).
(ii)
The Outside Occupancy Date Delivery Conditions Date with respect to the Initial Office Space shall be extended on a day-for-day basis for each day of (A) Tenant Delay and (B) Force Majeure delays; it being agreed, however, that any such extension of such dates is not intended to be cumulative (or “double counted”), and that if more than one Tenant Delay or more than one Force Majeure event would actually delay Landlord in satisfying any of the
51
Occupancy Date Delivery Conditions by the Outside Occupancy Date Delivery Conditions Date but such events and the delays caused by them occur simultaneously, then to the extent of such simultaneous occurrence such delays (whether caused by Tenant Delay, by Force Majeure or both) shall be deemed to run concurrently and not consecutively.

(iv)
It is specifically understood and agreed that solely for purposes of determining the number of days of deferral of the Rent Commencement Date that Tenant may be entitled to under Section 2.02K(iii) hereof and/or as a result of any Landlord Delay or Force Majeure delays, the parties expressly agree that delays arising from failure to satisfy the Occupancy Date Delivery Conditions by the applicable dates set forth in clauses (A), (B) and (C) of Section 2.02K(iii) hereof or on account of Landlord Delays as provided in Section 2.02N hereof or Force Majeure as provided in Section 2.02Q hereof, are not intended to be cumulative (or “double counted”), and that if any of the delays referred to therein occur simultaneously or occur simultaneously with any Landlord Delays or Force Majeure delays, then to the extent of such simultaneous occurrence such delays shall be deemed to run concurrently and not consecutively.
(v)
Each of the dates described in clauses (A), (B) and (C) of Section 2.02K(iii) shall be (A) extended on a day-for-day basis for each day of (A) Tenant Delay and (B) Force Majeure delays; it being agreed, however, that any such extension of such dates is not intended to be cumulative (or “double counted”), and that if more than one Tenant Delay or more than one Force Majeure event would actually delay Landlord in satisfying the Initial Delivery Conditions, but such events and the delays caused by them occur simultaneously, then, to the extent of such simultaneous occurrence, such delays (whether caused by Tenant Delays, by Force Majeure or both) shall be deemed to run concurrently and not consecutively.
(vi)
(A)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if Substantial Completion of Tenant’s Initial Work is actually delayed beyond the date Tenant would have Substantially Completed Tenant’s Initial Work but for Landlord’s failure to satisfy the Occupancy Date Delivery Conditions by reason of Force Majeure but not Tenant Delay (it being agreed that for the purposes of this clause that any simultaneous occurrence of Force Majeure and Tenant Delay, shall, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, be deemed to be Force Majeure and not Tenant Delay) with respect to the Initial Office Space, then the Rent Commencement Date shall be deferred one (1) day for each day from and after the later of (1) the date on which Tenant’s Initial Work would have been Substantially Completed but for Landlord’s failure to satisfy the Occupancy Date Delivery Conditions with respect to the Initial Office Space and (2) June 1, 2007 until the earlier of (1) the satisfaction (or deemed satisfaction) as provided herein of the Occupancy Date Delivery Conditions in accordance with the terms hereof and (2) August 1, 2007.
(B)
Any deferral of the Rent Commencement Date under this clause (vi) is not intended to be cumulative (or “double counted”) with any other delay on account of Landlord Delay or Force Majeure delay, and that if more than one Landlord Delay or more than one Force Majeure event also occurs simultaneously during any deferral contemplated by this clause, then, to the extent of such simultaneous occurrence, such delays (whether caused by Landlord
53
Delays, by Force Majeure or both) shall be deemed to run concurrently and not consecutively.

Subject to extension due to Force Majeure and Tenant Delay, Landlord agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Post-Delivery Conditions to be satisfied by January 1, 2008. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, but subject to the provisions of Section 2.02L(ii), Landlord agrees that the Post-Delivery Conditions set forth in Section 2.02D hereof shall be satisfied as required herein by March 1, 2008 (the “Outside Post-Delivery Conditions Date”).

The Outside Post-Delivery Conditions Date shall be (A) extended on a day-for-day basis for each day of (A) Tenant Delay and (B) Force Majeure delays; it being agreed, however, that any such extension of such dates is not intended to be cumulative (or “double counted”), and that if more than one Tenant Delay or more than one Force Majeure event would actually delay Landlord in satisfying any of the Post-Delivery Conditions by the Outside Post-Delivery Conditions Date but such events and the delays caused by them occur simultaneously, then to the extent of such simultaneous occurrence such delays (whether caused by Tenant Delay, by Force Majeure or both) shall be deemed to run concurrently and not consecutively.
(iii)
(A)
if the Post-Delivery Conditions have not been satisfied (or deemed satisfied) as provided herein by the Outside Post-Delivery Conditions Date (as same may have been extended as provided herein), then as liquidated damages, and not as a penalty, Tenant shall, subject to the provisions of clauses (B) and (C) of this Section 2.02L(iii), be entitled to a credit against Rent in the amount of $3,000 for each day after the Outside Post-Delivery Conditions Date (as such date may be extended as provided herein) until the Post-Delivery Conditions have been satisfied or deemed satisfied as provided herein.

54
such extension of such dates is not intended to be cumulative (or “double counted”), and that if more than one Tenant Delay or more than one Force Majeure event would actually delay Landlord in satisfying the Initial Delivery Conditions, but such events and the delays caused by them occur simultaneously, then, to the extent of such simultaneous occurrence, such delays (whether caused by Tenant Delays, by Force Majeure or both) shall be deemed to run concurrently and not consecutively.
M.
(i)
If any Tenant Delay occurs, and such Tenant Delay causes an actual delay in the Substantial Completion and/or the fulfillment of any condition for the satisfaction of the Initial Delivery Conditions, the Interim Delivery Conditions, the Occupancy Date Delivery Conditions, or the Post-Delivery Conditions, as applicable, then for purposes of determining the date on which the Initial Delivery Conditions, the Interim Delivery Conditions, the Occupancy Date Delivery Conditions, or the Post-Delivery Conditions, as applicable, have been satisfied, and (notwithstanding any provision of this Lease or any other exhibits attached to this Lease to the contrary), the Initial Delivery Conditions, the Interim Delivery Conditions, the Occupancy Date Delivery Conditions, or the Post-Delivery Conditions, as applicable, shall be deemed to have been satisfied, on the date on which Landlord would have been reasonably estimated to have satisfied the Initial Delivery Conditions, the Interim Delivery Conditions, the Occupancy Date Delivery Conditions, or the Post-Delivery Conditions, as applicable, but for such Tenant Delay. In addition, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, within thirty (30) days after receipt of Landlord’s invoices therefor, all actual increased hard and soft costs incurred by Landlord by reason of, and directly attributable to any Tenant Delays with respect to the Initial Office Space and/or the Storage Space, provided that in no event shall the amount payable by Tenant pursuant to this sentence exceed, in the aggregate, an amount equal to the product of (1) the per diem amount of the Fixed Rent payable during the First Rent Period for the Initial Space and (2) the number of days of such Tenant Delay.
(ii)
For the purposes hereof, “Tenant Delay” shall mean any actual delay beyond the reasonably anticipated completion date for the matter at issue that Landlord may encounter in the performance of Landlord’s obligations under this Lease due to any negligence, omission (where there is a duty to act) or intentional act of any nature of Tenant or any Tenant Party or any of their respective agents, employees, contractors, subcontractors or invitees. Events that, subject to the terms hereof, constitute Tenant Delay, include: (A) any violation noted against the Premises, the Unit, the Building or any part thereof caused by Tenant or any Tenant Entity, or any other act or omission of Tenant or any Tenant, which actually delays Landlord in obtaining Landlord’s TCO or the RTS TCO; (B) if (1) any dispute with respect to any matter under this Section 2.02 or Article 13 hereof causes (AA) any delay in the Substantial Completion of the Base Building Work or (BB) any delay in the satisfaction of any of the Initial Delivery Conditions, the Occupancy Date Delivery Conditions and/or any of the Post-Delivery Conditions and (2) such dispute is resolved by arbitration as permitted hereunder, then such delay shall be deemed a Tenant Delay if the Arbitrator selected the position proposed by Landlord, (C) subject to Force Majeure delays, the failure of Tenant to obtain Tenant’s TCO as provided in Section 2.02D hereof and/or (D) any other Tenant Delay as specifically provided
55
for in this Lease. Tenant Delay will commence as provided below, but, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, in no event shall Tenant Delay commence earlier than the actual activity or occurrence that causes such Tenant Delay and shall continue only through the date that such activity or occurrence shall cease to constitute a Tenant Delay; provided however, (i) all simultaneous delays which constitute a Tenant Delay hereunder shall be deemed to run concurrently and not consecutively and shall not be “double” counted and (ii) Tenant Delay shall include any consequential delays caused by the initial Tenant Delay events which could constitute a Tenant Delay.
(iii)
Unless Tenant knew of or reasonably should have known of the circumstances giving rise to Tenant Delay and the fact of Tenant Delay as evidenced by job minutes, correspondence, memoranda or other writings furnished to or issued by Tenant (which job minutes, correspondence, etc. specifically refer to such circumstances giving rise to a Tenant Delay and to the fact of a Tenant Delay), Tenant shall not be charged for any Tenant Delay unless, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, Landlord shall have delivered notice to Tenant of such Tenant Delay within five (5) Business Days after Landlord has actual knowledge of the circumstances giving rise to such Tenant Delay, which notice shall refer to the circumstances giving rise to such Tenant Delay. If notice is required, the period of Tenant Delay shall not commence until the first Business Day after the date when such notice shall have been delivered to Tenant.
(iv)
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease to the contrary, in the event of any simultaneous occurrence of Tenant Delay with a delay occurring as a result of Force Majeure, for the duration of any such simultaneous occurrence such delay shall be deemed to be a Force Majeure delay only except as expressly provided in the definitions of Tax Base Year and Base Operating Expense Year contained herein.
N.
Subject to the limitations contained in this Section 2.02 and Article 13 hereof, if any Landlord Delay occurs, and such Landlord Delay causes an actual delay in the Substantial Completion of Tenant’s Initial Work beyond the then reasonably estimated scheduled date of such Substantial Completion, then, as liquidated damages, and not as a penalty, the Rent Commencement Date shall be deferred one day for each day of such Landlord Delay it being agreed, however that such number of days, in the aggregate, shall in no event exceed the Permitted Number of Days. In addition, subject to the limitations contained herein, Landlord shall, at Landlord’s option, either pay to Tenant (within thirty (30) days after receipt of Tenant’s invoices therefor), or credit against the next subsequent payments of Rent, the amount of all actual increased Hard Costs and Soft Costs of performing Tenant’s Initial Work actually incurred by Tenant by reason of, and directly attributable to Landlord Delay, provided, that in no event shall the amount required to be paid or credited to Tenant pursuant to this sentence exceed an amount equal to the product of (A) the Permitted Number of Days multiplied by (B) the per diem amount of the Fixed Rent payable during the First Rent Period for (1) the Initial Office Space, if such Landlord Delay relates to Substantial Completion of Tenant’s Initial Work in the Initial Office Space and (2) the Storage Space, if such Landlord Delay relates to Substantial
56
Completion of Tenant’s Initial Work in the Storage Space. In the event that Landlord elects to provide Tenant with a credit as aforesaid, such credit shall be applied from and after the RCD until fully credited; provided, however, if at the time such credit is to be applied (or, if Landlord elects to pay such amount to Tenant), Tenant is then in monetary default or material non-monetary default under this Lease, in each case, beyond the expiration of any applicable notice and/or cure period, Landlord may offset the amount of such credit (or amount to be paid to Tenant) against amounts properly due and owing by Tenant to Landlord. For the purposes hereof, “Permitted Number of Days” shall mean the number of days equal to the lesser of (A) sixty (60) or (B) the number of days before which Tenant would be entitled to the deferral of the Rent Commencement Date contemplated under either Section 2.02H(i)(A) hereof or Section 2.02K(iii)(A) hereof.
(ii)
“Landlord Delay” shall mean any actual delay occurring after the Commencement Date beyond the reasonably anticipated completion date for the matter at issue that Tenant encounters in the performance of Tenant’s Initial Work due to any negligence, omission (where there is a duty to act) or intentional act of any nature of Landlord or any Landlord Party or any of their respective agents, employees, contractors, subcontractors or invitees. Events that, subject to the terms hereof, constitute Landlord Delay, include: (A) Landlord’s failure to approve or accept (or to disapprove with comments) or its delay in approving or accepting (or disapproving with comments), the Final Working Drawings and/or the RTS Construction Drawings (or any portions or versions thereof), in accordance with the applicable time limitations set forth in Section 13.01A(i) hereof (unless the same are deemed approved in accordance with the terms of such Section); (B) if (1) any dispute with respect to any matter under this Section 2.02 or Article 13 hereof causes (AA) any delay in the Substantial Completion of the Base Building Work or (BB) any delay in the satisfaction of any of the Initial Delivery Conditions, the Occupancy Date Delivery Conditions and/or any of the Post-Delivery Conditions and (2) such dispute is resolved by arbitration as permitted hereunder, then such delay shall be deemed a Landlord Delay if the Arbitrator selected the position proposed by Tenant, (C) any failure to cooperate with Tenant as required hereunder in the securing by Tenant of Tenant’s TCO in accordance with the terms of Section 2.02E hereof or any other permit or license which is reasonably required in connection with Tenant’s Initial Work and/or (D) any other Landlord Delay as specifically provided for in this Lease; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall entitle Tenant to receive a deferment of the Rent Commencement Date for a Landlord Delay due to any failure by Landlord to cure a Landlord’s Violation for which Tenant is entitled to receive an abatement pursuant to 13.08B of this Lease. Landlord Delay will commence as provided below, but, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, in no event shall Landlord Delay commence earlier than the actual activity or occurrence that causes such Landlord Delay and shall continue only through the date that such activity or occurrence shall cease to constitute a Landlord Delay; provided, however, (i) all simultaneous delays which constitute a Landlord Delay hereunder shall be deemed to run concurrently and not consecutively and shall not be “double” counted and (ii) Landlord Delay shall include any consequential delays caused by the initial Landlord Delay events which could constitute a Landlord
57
Delay. Notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary, a Service Interruption shall not constitute or be deemed a Landlord Delay hereunder for the purposes of any rent deferral or rent credit pursuant to Section 2.02N(i) hereof; it being agreed that in any such instance the provisions of Section 2.02R hereof shall govern and control.
(iii)
Unless Landlord knew of or reasonably should have known of the circumstances giving rise to Landlord Delay and the fact of Landlord Delay as evidenced by job minutes, correspondence, memoranda or other writings furnished to or issued by Landlord (which job minutes, correspondence, etc. specifically refer to such circumstances giving rise to a Landlord Delay and to the fact of a Landlord Delay), Landlord shall not be charged for any Landlord Delay unless Tenant shall have delivered notice to Landlord of such Landlord Delay within five (5) Business Days after Tenant has actual knowledge of the circumstances giving rise to such Landlord Delay, which notice shall refer to the circumstances giving rise to such Landlord Delay. If notice is required, the period of Landlord Delay shall not commence until the first Business Day after the date when such notice shall have been delivered to Landlord.
(iv)
Notwithstanding any provision of this Lease to the contrary, in the event of any simultaneous occurrence of Landlord Delay with a delay occurring as a result of Force Majeure, for the duration of any such simultaneous occurrence such delay shall be deemed to be a Force Majeure delay only.
O.
Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, each reference in this Lease to any act or omission resulting in, or being deemed to result in, a Tenant Delay or a Landlord Delay is intended solely as a reminder of such a possible result, it being agreed that such act or omission shall constitute a Tenant Delay or Landlord Delay, as the case may be, only if all of the terms and conditions set forth above in Section 2.02M hereof (as supplemented by Section 44.06 hereof) relating to Tenant Delay or Section 2.02N hereof relating to Landlord Delay, as the case may be, shall be fully satisfied.
P.

58
Section 2.02 hereof, each be extended for a period of ninety (90) days after each of the respective dates set forth therein, and (iv) any deferral of the “Rent Commencement Date” under Section 2.02H or 2.02K hereof, if any, shall be limited solely to the Storage Space and apply only to the Storage Space Rent Commencement Date. Except as contemplated herein, it is hereby acknowledged that the Storage Space is to be otherwise delivered in its then “as-is” condition without any work or alterations required to be made by Landlord thereto. Subject to the terms hereof, Tenant shall be permitted to access the Storage Space from the service elevator servicing the lower level of the Building and the loading dock freight elevator.
Q.
Subject to the limitations contained in this Section 2.02, if any Force Majeure event occurs after the Initial Delivery Conditions are actually satisfied (as opposed to deemed satisfied) as provided herein and such Force Majeure event causes an actual delay in the Substantial Completion of Tenant’s Initial Work beyond the then reasonably estimated scheduled date of such Substantial Completion and Tenant is prevented from opening for the normal conduct of Tenant’s business in the Demised Premises by the reasonably estimated date for such opening, then the Rent Commencement Date shall be deferred one day for each day of such Force Majeure event; it being agreed, however that such number of days shall in no event exceed, in the aggregate, the lesser of (a) actual number of days of Force Majeure in which Tenant is so actually delayed due to Force Majeure and (b) the number of days between the date that the Initial Delivery Conditions have actually been satisfied in accordance with the terms hereof and the date that the Occupancy Date Delivery Conditions have been satisfied (or deemed satisfied) in accordance with the terms hereof.
R.
(i)
Subject to extension due to Force Majeure and Tenant Delay, if, at any time after June 1, 2007 but prior to the Occupancy Date (it being agreed that from and after the Occupancy Date, to the extent applicable, the provisions of Section 6.07A hereof shall govern interruption of services), (a) there occurs an interruption in the provision of any temporary utility service then required to be provided by Landlord pursuant to Exhibit 2.02A(i)(vi) or in the operation of any Base System then required to be operational hereunder and as a result thereof Tenant stops or is unable to perform a significant portion of Tenant’s Initial Work that Tenant would otherwise have then been able to perform (a “Service Interruption”) by reason of a default by Landlord in the performance of its obligations hereunder or the performance of any repairs or replacements required to be made by Landlord under this Lease or any other reason except as hereinafter provided, or except as a result of any Tenant Delay, Tenant’s negligence, willful misconduct, or breach of Tenant’s obligations hereunder, and (b) Tenant notifies Landlord, WITH EXPRESS REFERENCE TO THE RCD DEFERRAL PROVIDED FOR IN THIS SECTION 2.02R, of the condition giving rise to such Service Interruption (in reasonable detail), the floors of the Premises which are affected thereby, and a description of the portion of Tenant’s Initial Work which has been stopped or which is unable to be performed as a result thereof (such notice, an “Interruption Notice”), then, but only then, as liquidated damages, and not as a penalty and notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease to the contrary:

for each of the first five (5) days after the delivery of the Interruption Notice, Tenant shall be entitled to a credit against Rent in an amount equal to its Actual Damages directly incurred solely as a result of the Service Interruption (not to exceed $10,000 per day), such rent credit to be applied from
59
and after the RCD until fully credited; provided, however, if, at the time such credit is to be applied, Tenant is then in monetary default or material non-monetary default under this Lease, in each case, beyond the expiration of any applicable notice and/or cure period, Landlord may offset the amount of such credit against amounts properly due and owing by Tenant to Landlord;
(B)
for each of the next fifty-five (55) days after the delivery of the Interruption Notice, provided (1) such Service Interruption is then continuing, and (2) Tenant is actually interrupted thereby in completing Tenant’s Initial Work by the reasonably estimated completion date therefor, the credit described in Section 2.02R(i)(A) hereof, shall, subject to the provisions of clause (C) of this Section 2.02R(i), be revised to be an amount equal to one and one half (1½) times the per diem Fixed Rent with respect to each floor of the Initial Office Space as to which such Service Interruption has occurred until the earlier of (1) the sixtieth (60th) day after the delivery of the Interruption Notice, (2) the Occupancy Date, and (3) the date on which Landlord shall have delivered a factually accurate notice to Tenant (which notice, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein, may be oral) stating that such interruption of service to such floor or floors has been actually restored; and
(C)
for each day following the sixtieth (60th) day after the delivery of the Interruption Notice, provided (i) such Service Interruption is then continuing and (ii) Tenant is actually interrupted thereby in completing Tenant’s Initial Work by the reasonably estimated completion date therefor, the credit described in Section 2.02R(i)(B) hereof, shall be increased to be an amount equal to two (2) times the per diem Fixed Rent with respect to the entire Initial Office Space until the earlier of (1) the date on which Landlord shall have delivered a factually accurate notice to Tenant (which notice, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein, may be oral) stating that service to the Initial Office Space has been actually restored and (2) the Occupancy Date.
(ii)
Each of the dates described in this Section 2.02R shall be (A) extended on a day-for-day basis for each day of (A) Tenant Delay and (B) Force Majeure delays; it being agreed, however, that any such extension of such dates is not intended to be cumulative (or “double counted”) and if a Service Interruption occurs simultaneously with or due to more than one Tenant Delay or more than one Force Majeure event, to the extent of any such simultaneous occurrence the provisions of this Section 2.02R shall be inapplicable.
(iii)
Notwithstanding the foregoing, there shall be no such Rent credit to the extent that the Service Interruption is due to (i) Landlord properly exercising any of its rights hereunder or the Tenant failing to do so (e.g., by not scheduling the use of the Hoist as required), (ii) Force Majeure, or (iii) any failure of the utility company, municipality or other service provider to supply electricity, gas or water (a) on an area wide basis for any reason or cause whatsoever (versus a Building specific basis) or (b) to the Building specifically if due to the
60
negligence, willful misconduct or intentional acts of the utility company, municipality or other service provider.
(iv)
Notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary, in the event of any simultaneous occurrence of a Service Interruption with Landlord Delay, only the penalties applicable to a Service Interruption under Section 2.02R hereof shall apply thereto rather than the provisions applicable to a Landlord Delay under Section 2.02N(i) hereof. In addition, the penalties provided for a Service Interruption are not intended to be cumulative (or “double counted”) and (a) if one or more rent credits would be applicable under this Article 2, then, to the extent of such simultaneous occurrence, the highest per diem rent credit otherwise applicable to the portion of the Premises in question shall control, or (b) if a deferral of the RCD under this Article 2 otherwise would apply, then there shall be no rent credit for such Service Interruption hereunder.
S.
Tenant shall have the right to request that the Base Building Criteria be modified to provide for the necessary slab cut-outs for the RTS Shuttle Elevator be included in the Base Building Work. In the event that Tenant makes such request prior to such point in the performance of the Base Building Work in which the Base Building Contractor can make such modification without any additional expense to Landlord (unless Tenant agrees to be responsible for all actual, out-of-pocket costs and expenses therefor, which costs and expenses shall be included in the RTS Work Costs) and Landlord, in good faith, determines (which determination, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, shall not be subject to dispute or resolution by arbitration) that such modification will not delay or otherwise negatively impact Substantial Completion of the Base Building Work by the estimated completion date therefor, then Landlord shall cause the Base Building Contractor to perform such work. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event such work delays Substantial Completion of any components of the Initial Delivery Conditions, the Interim Conditions and/or the Occupancy Date Conditions, the areas impacted thereby shall not be required to be Substantially Completed in order for the Initial Delivery Conditions, the Interim Conditions and/or the Occupancy Date Conditions, as the case may be, to be satisfied.
T.
Landlord agrees that in no event will the Base Building Criteria, the Base Building Work or the Design Guidelines be changed or modified in such a manner that would (a) reduce the usable area of the Premises, (b) except to a de minimis extent, modify any of the components of the Initial Delivery Conditions, the Occupancy Date Delivery Conditions and/or the Post-Delivery Conditions, or (c) upon completion (as it relates to the Base Building Work) adversely affect (by more than a de minimis extent) Tenant’s use and enjoyment of the Demised Premises as permitted hereunder or access to the Building, without the consent of Tenant, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
U.
Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Lease, upon the date when the Occupancy Date Delivery Conditions shall be satisfied (or deemed satisfied) as provided herein, Tenant shall be deemed to have agreed for all purposes hereof that the Initial Office Space and the Storage Space shall have been Substantially Completed, subject to Landlord causing the completion of any Incomplete Work and/or Punch List Items relating thereto and completion of any remaining Post-Delivery Conditions in the manner provided hereunder.
61
V.
Tenant acknowledges that notwithstanding the fact that the actual Occupancy Date has occurred, until Substantial Completion of the Base Building Work and the RTS Build-out Work, construction work will be continuing in all or part of the Building common areas and that the performance thereof may disturb Tenant’s quiet enjoyment of, and access to the Demised Premises through, certain Building common areas (but in no event shall access be impeded in the area(s) provided for access to the Building as described in Section 2.02C(xi) hereof) and certain areas within the Demised Premises as specifically permitted hereunder in connection with the RTS Build-out Work. Until Substantial Completion of the Base Building Work and the RTS Build-out Work, Tenant hereby accepts such conditions as modifications and limitations on its right to use and access the Building common areas, except to the extent caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord and subject to the other provisions of this Section 2.02 and Section 6.07A and Articles 13 and 44 hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall, subject to the provisions of Section 10.04 hereof, use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize interference with Tenant’s access to and use and occupancy of the Premises in performing the Base Building Work and shall perform all work and repairs diligently and in a workerlike manner and in compliance with Legal Requirements.
W.
Landlord and Tenant agree that any rent credit that Tenant is entitled to pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.02 shall be applied after the RCD until fully credited; provided, however, if, at the time such credit is to be applied, Tenant is then in monetary default or material non-monetary default under this Lease, in each case, beyond the expiration of any applicable notice and/or cure period, Landlord may offset the amount of such credit against amounts properly due and owing by Tenant to Landlord.
X.
In the event Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree whether as to any of the matters described in this Section 2.02, either party may (except as otherwise provided in this Section 2.02) refer such dispute to be resolved in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 25.02 hereof.
2.03
Promptly after the Commencement Date and the Rent Commencement Date are determined, Landlord and Tenant, at either Landlord’s or Tenant’s request, will execute a Milestone Date Agreement with respect to any or each of the above dates. Tenant’s or Landlord’s failure or refusal to sign the same shall in no event affect the determination of such dates or either party’s obligations hereunder.
2.04
Tenant expressly waives any right to rescind this Lease under Section 223-a of the New York Real Property Law or under any present or future statute of similar import then in force and, except as expressly set forth elsewhere in this Lease, further expressly waives the right to recover any damages, direct or indirect, which may result from Landlord’s failure to deliver possession of the Premises by the Outside Initial Delivery Conditions Date or to grant access to certain portions of the Demised Premises prior to the Commencement Date as permitted hereunder. Tenant agrees that the provisions of this Section 2.04 are intended to constitute “an express provision to the contrary” within the meaning of said Section 223-a.

(B)
Notwithstanding the rental rates for Tenant’s Roof Top Space set forth in clauses (1) through (5) of Section 3.01A(iii)(A) hereof, if
64
Tenant has failed to fully approve the RTS Final CDs by February 1, 2008 (as such date shall be extended on a day for day basis for each day of Landlord Delay in accordance with the terms hereof and/or as provided in the definition of the RTS Plan Outside Date), then commencing on the first day of the month in which the eighteenth (18th) month anniversary of the Commencement Date occurs (as such eighteenth (18th) month anniversary may be extended on a day for day basis for each day from and after February 1, 2008 until the actual RTS Plan Outside Date occurs; it being agreed, however, in no event shall such date be extended beyond August 1, 2009 [as such date shall be extended on a day for day basis for each day of Landlord Delay in accordance with the terms hereof], such date being referred to herein as the “RTS Plan Delay Fixed Rent Commencement Date”) the provisions of this clause (B) shall apply. Subject to the provisions of the penultimate sentence of this clause (B) (if applicable), commencing on the RTS Plan Delay Fixed Rent Commencement Date and continuing through and including the date that the RTS Build-out Work has been Substantially Completed, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as additional Fixed Rent (the same constituting liquidated damages and not a penalty), an annual amount (the “RTS Plan Delay Fixed Rent”) equal to (1) $500,000 per annum for the first twelve (12) months after the RTS Plan Delay Fixed Rent Commencement Date, (2) increasing to $1,000,000 per annum for the next twelve (12) months and (3) increasing to $1,500,000 per annum thereafter, which RTS Plan Delay Fixed Rent shall be increased on a compounded basis at the time and with the increases provided in clauses (2) through (5), as applicable, of Section 3.01A(iii)(A) hereof until the RTS Rent Commencement Date (at which time Tenant shall have no further obligation to pay the RTS Plan Delay Fixed Rent); it being agreed that there shall be no retroactive adjustment to any Fixed Rent payable in respect of Tenant’s Roof Top Space prior to the RTS Rent Commencement Date unless (x) the RTS Plan Delay Fixed Rent was less than the RTS Fixed Rent, as finally determined, in which event, Tenant shall be required to pay as Additional Rent, within thirty (30) days of demand, any such deficiency between the amount of the RTS Plan Delay Fixed Rent and the RTS Fixed Rent, as finally determined; it being agreed, however, if the amount of such deficiency is in excess of $500,000, Tenant shall be permitted to pay such deficiency in equal monthly installments, together with interest at the Prime Rate, over a twelve (12) month period commencing on the first day of the month immediately following Landlord’s notice to Tenant of any such deficiency or (y) the provisions of the next sentence are applicable. In the event that Tenant is required to pay the RTS Plan Delay Fixed Rent as provided under this clause (B), then, for the period commencing from and after the date on which the RTS Final CDs have been fully approved by Tenant as provided herein until the RTS Build-out Work has been Substantially Completed, Tenant shall, subject to the terms hereof, pay to Landlord on account of the RTS Plan Delay Fixed Rent, the sum payable under of clause (1) above (it being agreed that if, at such time, the RTS Plan Delay Fixed Rent had theretofore been increased by the operation of clause (2) or (3) above, then the RTS Plan Delay Fixed Rent shall be reduced to the amount set forth in clause (1) above and clauses (2) and (3) shall be deemed to be of no further force or effect), until the RTS Build-out Work is Substantially Completed, at which time Tenant shall
65
commence paying the RTS Fixed Rent in accordance with the provisions of clause (A) of Section 3.01A(iii) hereof (and Tenant shall have no further obligation to pay the RTS Plan Delay Fixed Rent but the foregoing shall not vitiate Tenant’s obligation to pay the deficiency, if any, required to be paid by Tenant pursuant to clause (x) of this clause (B)). If the provisions of this clause (B) are still in effect at the time that the determination under clause (A)(5) of Section 3.01A(iii) hereof is to be made, then the RTS Plan Delay Fixed Rent shall be deemed to be the RTS Fixed Rent for the purposes thereof.
(C)
Except as provided in Section 3.01A(iii)(B) hereof, if, on the RTS Rent Commencement Date, the RTS Project Costs have not been finally determined as provided herein and, as result thereof, the amount of the RTS Fixed Rent cannot be calculated then, pending such determination and calculation, Tenant shall pay RTS Fixed Rent based on all RTS Project Costs actually incurred as of the RTS Rent Commencement Date plus an amount equal to Landlord’s reasonable estimate of any remaining RTS Project Costs (the “RTS Fixed Rent Temporary Rate”). After determination of the RTS Work Cost in accordance with the terms hereof, the actual RTS Fixed Rent required to be paid by Tenant is greater or less than the “RTS Fixed Rent Temporary Rate,” Landlord shall promptly pay to Tenant the excess of the RTS Fixed Rent Temporary Rate over (or Tenant shall promptly pay to Landlord the shortfall of the RTS Fixed Rent Temporary Rate below) such actual RTS Fixed Rent, together with interest at the Prime Rate on the amount so paid.
(iv)
An amount equal to the Deferred Additional Fixed Rental Payment upon the date upon which the RTS Final CDs have been approved or deemed approved in accordance with the terms hereof and all required permits for the RTS Contractor to commence the RTS Build-out Work have been obtained; provided, however, if Tenant has failed to approve the RTS Final CDs by February 1, 2008, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord the Deferred Additional Fixed Rental Amount on the twelve (12) month anniversary of the Commencement Date and upon the final determination of the Deferred Additional Fixed Rental Payment, Tenant shall pay to Landlord an amount equal to the difference between the Deferred Additional Fixed Rental Payment and the Deferred Additional Fixed Rental Amount, together with interest thereon at the Prime Rate; it being agreed that if Tenant elects to not include the Enclosed Roof Top Space in Tenant’s Roof Top Space during the RTS Election Period as permitted hereunder, the Deferred Additional Fixed Rent Payment shall be deemed to be the Deferred Additional Fixed Rent Payment Amount.
(v)
If the 51st Floor Space is leased by Tenant hereunder:
(A)
during the First Rent Period, commencing on the RTS Rent Commencement Date, an annual amount equal to $40.00 per RSF of the 51st Floor Space;
66
(B)
during the Second Rent Period, an annual amount equal to $42.20 per RSF of the 51st Floor Space;
(C)
during the Third Rent Period, an annual amount equal to $44.52 per RSF of the 51st Floor Space;
(D)
during the Fourth Rent Period, an annual amount equal to $46.97 per RSF of the 51st Floor Space; and
(E)
for any Renewal Term which may become effective pursuant to Article 39 hereof, Fixed Rent for the 51st Floor Space in such amount as is determined pursuant to Article 39 hereof.
B.
Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3.01A hereof, for the period commencing on the Rent Commencement Date to and including the date which is nine (9) months after Substantial Completion of the Hoist Area Work, Tenant shall be entitled to a credit against the Fixed Rent otherwise payable under this Lease in an amount equal to the product of (a) $135.00 per annum multiplied by (b) the Rentable Square Footage of the Hoist Impacted Area.
C.
If the Rent Commencement Date shall occur on a date other than the first (1st) day of any calendar month, then the Fixed Rent and any Additional Rent payable pursuant to this Lease for such calendar month shall be prorated on a per diem basis based on the actual number of days in such month. If the RTS Rent Commencement Date shall occur (or be deemed to have occurred) on a date other than the first (1st) day of any calendar month, then the RTS Fixed Rent, Fixed Rent attributable to the 51st Floor Space (if leased by Tenant hereunder) and any Additional Rent in respect of Tenant’s Roof Top Space or the 51st Floor Space (if leased by Tenant hereunder) payable pursuant to this Lease for such calendar month shall be prorated on a per diem basis based on the actual number of days in such month.
D.
Tenant agrees to pay the Fixed Rent in lawful money of the United States which shall be legal tender in payment of all debts and dues, public and private, at the time of payment, in equal monthly installments in advance, on the first (1st) day of each calendar month during the Term commencing on the Rent Commencement Date, at the office of Landlord or such other place as Landlord may designate, without any set-off, offset, abatement or deduction whatsoever, except such set-offs, offsets, abatements or deductions to which Tenant shall be entitled pursuant to the express terms of this Lease. At the request of Landlord or Tenant, upon not less than thirty (30) days’ prior notice, Fixed Rent and Recurring Additional Rent shall be payable when due by wire transfer of funds to an account designated in writing from time to time by Landlord. If Landlord shall direct Tenant to pay Fixed Rent and Recurring Additional Rent by wire transfer, then Tenant shall not be in default of Tenant’s obligation to pay any such rent if and for so long as Tenant shall timely comply with Landlord’s wire instructions in connection with such payments. Accordingly, if Tenant shall have timely complied with Landlord’s instructions pertaining to a wire transfer, but the funds shall thereafter have been misdirected or not accounted for properly by the recipient bank designated by Landlord, then the same shall not relieve Tenant’s obligation to make the payment so wired, but shall toll the due date for such payment until the wired funds shall have been located.
67
E.
Whenever this Lease shall provide that Landlord or Tenant shall pay the out-of-pocket costs of the other party, such out-of-pocket costs shall be commercially reasonable and (i) whenever a party requests reimbursement for its out-of-pocket costs, such party shall deliver to the requesting party bills, receipts, invoices or other documentation reasonably evidencing such costs, and (ii) in the event such documentation is not so delivered with five (5) days after request thereof, the time periods set forth herein with respect to any such payments shall be tolled until five (5) days after delivery to the requesting party of such documentation. Subject to the provisions of this Section 3.01E, any Additional Rent for which no time period is expressly provided in this Lease for the payment thereof, shall be due and payable within thirty (30) days after demand from Landlord.
3.02
All adjustments of rent, costs, charges and expenses which Tenant is obligated to pay pursuant to this Lease shall be deemed Additional Rent which Tenant covenants to pay when due. In the event of nonpayment of any Additional Rent, Landlord shall, in addition to any other rights and remedies that Landlord has hereunder or at law or in equity, have all the rights and remedies with respect thereto as is herein provided for in case of nonpayment of Fixed Rent. All rent shall be payable by Tenant to Landlord, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, without offset, reduction, counterclaim and/or deduction and shall be in lawful money of the United States which shall be legal tender in payment of all debts and dues, public and private, at the time of payment.
3.03
Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in respect of any amounts payable hereunder to Landlord (including, without limitation, Fixed Rent, Additional Rent and sums advanced by Landlord hereunder to cure a default beyond the expiration of any applicable notice and/or cure period by Tenant in the performance of Tenant’s obligations hereunder) which shall not have been paid (a) on the date which is five (5) Business Days after the same shall be due and payable with respect to Fixed Rent and Recurring Additional Rent and (b) within ten (10) days after the same shall have first become due and payable with respect to any other item of Additional Rent (each, an “Overdue Payment”), interest on such Overdue Payment (i) in respect of an Overdue Payment under clause (a) above, at the Interest Rate from the due date until paid except that no such interest shall be payable in respect of the first two (2) Overdue Payments (if any) in any calendar year under clause (a) above and (ii) in respect of an Overdue Payment under clause (b) above, at the Interest Rate from the tenth (10th) day after due until paid; provided, however, from and after the third (3rd) default in any calendar year in the payment of any Rent, interest on any Overdue Payment with respect to such third (3rd) default and any subsequent default that occurs during the twelve (12) month period following such third (3rd) default shall be at the Interest Rate plus two percent (2%) per annum. Such aforesaid charges shall be due and payable, as Additional Rent, within thirty (30) days after demand for payment therefor by Landlord. No failure by Landlord to insist upon the strict performance by Tenant of Tenant’s obligations to pay such Overdue Payment or interest thereon shall constitute a waiver by Landlord of its right to enforce the provisions of this Section 3.03. The provisions of this Section 3.03 shall not be construed in any way to extend any cure or notice periods with respect to the payment of Rent as provided in Section 20.01A hereof or any other provision of this Lease.
3.04
If any of the Rents payable under the terms of this Lease shall be or become uncollectible, reduced or required to be refunded because of any rent control, federal, state or local law, regulation, proclamation or other Legal Requirement not currently in effect,
68
Tenant shall enter into such agreement(s) and take such other steps (without additional expense to Tenant or the acceleration of any expense payable by Tenant to Landlord hereunder) as Landlord may reasonably request and as may be legally permissible to permit Landlord to collect the maximum rent which, from time to time, during the continuance of such legal rent restriction may be legally permissible (and not in excess of the amounts then reserved therefor under this Lease). Upon the termination of any such legal rent restriction, (a) the Fixed Rent and Additional Rent shall become and shall thereafter be payable in accordance with the amounts reserved herein for the periods following such termination and (b) Tenant shall promptly pay in full to Landlord unless expressly prohibited by law, an amount equal to (i) rentals which would have been paid pursuant to this Lease for the period during which such restriction applied but for such legal rent restriction less (ii) the rent actually paid by Tenant during the period such legal rent restriction was in effect.
3.05
If Landlord at any time receives from Tenant any payment less than the sum of the Rent then due and owing from Tenant pursuant to this Lease or Tenant is otherwise in default under this Lease beyond the expiration of any applicable notice and/or cure period, Tenant hereby waives its right, if any, to designate the items to which such payment shall be applied and agrees that Landlord in its sole discretion may apply such payment in whole or in part to any of the Rent or any other sums then due and payable hereunder. No endorsement or statement on any check and no letter accompanying any check or payment (or instructions accompanying any wire transfer) shall be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such check or payment (or wire transfer) without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the balance due hereunder or pursue any other right or remedy provided for in this Lease or available at law or in equity.
3.06
If, at any time after the Commencement Date but prior to the Rent Commencement Date, Tenant is entitled to an abatement of Fixed Rent and/or Additional Rent pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.07A hereof or under Article 17 or Article 18 hereof, then the amount of any such abatement (such amount to be equal to the Rent that would have been due and payable during the abatement period had the Rent Commencement Date occurred on the same date as the Commencement Date) shall be credited against the first Rents becoming due hereunder after the occurrence of the Rent Commencement Date.

(vii)
“Taxes” shall mean the aggregate amount of (a) subject to the terms of the next paragraph of this definition, (1) through the Scheduled PILOT Conversion Date, PILOT due and payable (whether by actual direct payment or by way of credit or offset as provided in Section 3.1(b)(ii) of the Unit Ground Lease) by Landlord under the Unit Ground Lease; provided, that (A) there shall be excluded from PILOT any Retail PILOT (including the RTS PILOT) and (B) the rate of Office PILOT per Taxable Square Foot (as such term is defined in the Unit Ground Lease) for the Base Tax Year shall be the greater of (x) the rate per Taxable Square Foot payable for such year as set forth on Schedule 1 to the Unit Ground Lease and (y) $9.78 per Taxable Square Foot and (z) from and after the Scheduled PILOT Conversion Date, Full Taxes, (b) any Times Square Theater Surcharge payable by Landlord under the Unit Ground Lease, (c) all assessments (special or otherwise) and all other governmental levies, impositions or charges, whether general, special, ordinary, extraordinary, foreseen or unforeseen which may legally be assessed, levied or imposed upon all or any part of the Unit (other than Tenant’s Roof Top Space) and/or Landlord’s undivided interest in the Common Elements, or any part thereof and which are required to be paid by Landlord, and (d) any expenses (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of attorneys and other experts and witnesses) incurred in contesting in good faith any of the foregoing or the assessed valuation of all or any part of the Unit and/or Landlord’s undivided interest in the Common Elements, or any part thereof; provided, however, the foregoing shall exclude: (1) all personal property taxes and occupancy and rent taxes assessed against Landlord to the extent same are imposed on Landlord because Landlord is a tenant or occupant of the Unit, (2) all Common Charges and all license and permit fees to the extent same are included in Operating Expenses, (3) any amounts included in “PILOMRT”, “PILOST” and the “Administrative Fee” (as such quoted terms are defined in the Unit Ground Lease), BID Assessments, municipal, state or federal income taxes assessed against Landlord or Tenant, any capital levy, estate, gift, succession, inheritance or transfer taxes, or any corporate franchise taxes or unincorporated business
71
taxes, income or profit tax, or any transfer or mortgage recording tax imposed upon any owner of the Land, the Unit and the Common Elements appurtenant thereto, or any part thereof, or capital levy that is or may be imposed upon the net income of Landlord, (4) any taxes or assessments directly imposed upon any sign attached to or located on the Land or the Building or signage required by any applicable Legal Requirements and (5) any fines, penalties and other similar governmental charges applicable to the foregoing, together with any interest or costs with respect to the foregoing, incurred by reason of Landlord’s failure to timely make any payments as herein provided on account thereof (unless Tenant has not timely paid Tenant’s Tax Payment or Tenant’s BID Payment as required hereunder) (the items set forth in clauses (1) through (5) above, except as contemplated by the next sentence are, collectively referred to herein as the “Excluded Taxes”). If at any time after the Execution Date, the methods of taxation prevailing as of the date hereof shall be altered so that in lieu of or as an express substitute for the whole or any part of the taxes, assessments, rents, rates, charges, levies or impositions now assessed, levied or imposed upon all or any part of the Unit and/or Landlord’s undivided interest in the Common Elements or any part thereof, there shall be assessed, levied or imposed (1) a tax, assessment, levy, imposition or charge based on the income or rents received therefrom whether or not wholly or partially as a capital levy or otherwise, or (2) a tax, assessment, levy, imposition or charge measured by or based in whole or in part upon all or any part of the Unit and/or Landlord’s undivided interest in the Common Elements, or (3) a license fee measured by the rents, or (4) any other tax, assessment, levy, imposition, charge or license fee with respect to the Unit and/or Landlord’s undivided interest in the Common Elements, or any part thereof, however described or imposed, then all such taxes, assessments, levies, impositions, charges or license fees or the part thereof so measured or based shall be deemed to be Taxes or the RTS Taxes, as applicable; provided, however, that any tax, assessment, levy, imposition or charge imposed on income from the Unit and/or Landlord’s undivided interest in the Common Elements, or any part thereof, shall be calculated as if the Unit is the sole asset of Landlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if pursuant to any Legal Requirement, any assessment that is included in Taxes or the RTS Taxes, as applicable, pursuant to the terms hereof may, at Landlord’s election, be divided and paid in installments, then, for the purposes of this Section 4.02, (AA) such assessment shall be deemed to have been so divided and to be payable in the maximum number of installments permitted by law (together with any interest charged by the applicable Government Authority), and (BB) there shall be deemed included in Taxes or the RTS Taxes, as applicable, for each Tax Year the installments of such assessment deemed to be payable during such Tax Year.
Notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary, in the event Landlord is required, prior to the Scheduled PILOT Conversion Date to pay Full Taxes under the Unit Ground Lease rather than PILOT or the PILOT program for the Unit is otherwise terminated (a) as a result of Tenant’s acts or omissions, then, from and after the date that Landlord is required to pay Full Taxes, for the purposes of calculating the amount of Tenant’s Tax Payment hereunder, all
72
references in the definition of Taxes to PILOT or in the definition of the RTS Taxes to the RTS PILOT shall be deemed to be Full Taxes, (b) as a result of Landlord’s acts or omissions, then for the purposes of calculating the amount of Tenant’s Tax Payment hereunder, (i) until the Scheduled PILOT Conversion Date (A) PILOT shall be deemed to be equal to the amount of PILOT (on a Taxable Square Foot basis) for each Tax Year set forth in Schedule 1 of the Unit Ground Lease and (B) the RTS PILOT shall be deemed to be equal to the Retail PILOT (on a per Taxable Square Foot basis) for each Tax Year as set forth on Schedule 2 of the Unit Ground Lease and (ii) thereafter Full Taxes and (c) for any reason other than as a result of Tenant’s or Landlord’s acts or omissions, then Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to contest such termination and/or to look to The City of New York for recovery of any such excess amounts pursuant to the indemnity from the City pursuant to that certain Site 8 South Project Agreement, dated as of December 12, 2001, by and among ESDC, the City, 42DP, NYTB, NYT Real Estate Company and FC Lion LLC, as the same may have heretofore been, or may hereafter be, amended; if the termination of the PILOT program for the Unit is upheld and the City indemnity is held to be invalid, in both cases, pursuant to the final, unappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, then, for the purposes of calculating the amount of Tenant’s Tax Payment hereunder, the amount Tenant shall be required to pay to Landlord (retroactive to the date of such early termination) on account of PILOT (until the Scheduled PILOT Conversion Date) shall be deemed equal to the sum of (i) the amount of Tenant’s Tax Payment which would have been payable if the PILOT program was still in effect, plus (ii) fifty percent (50%) of the positive difference between (A) the amount of Tenant’s Tax Payment calculated with reference to Full Taxes (as opposed to PILOT) less (B) the amount of Tenant’s Tax Payment as calculated under clause (i) above.
(viii)
“Tax Year” shall mean the period from and after the RCD through the following December 31 (i.e., the end of the calendar year) and each successive calendar year throughout the Term; provided, however, from either (a) the expiration or sooner termination of the Unit Ground Lease and the Ground Lease, (b) the Scheduled PILOT Conversion Date, or (c) the termination of the PILOT program for the Unit, Tax Year shall mean the period from such expiration or termination through the following June 30 (i.e., the end of the then existing New York City real estate fiscal year) and each successive New York City real estate fiscal year commencing on July 1st and expiring on June 30th (if the present use of the July 1 to June 30 real estate tax year shall change, then such changed tax year shall be used with appropriate adjustment for the transition).
(ix)
“Tenant’s Proportionate Tax Share” shall be computed on the basis of a fraction, the numerator of which is the RSF area, from time to time, of the Premises, and the denominator of which is the total RSF area of the Unit, including, for the purposes of both the numerator and the denominator, the RSF of the 28th floor portion of the Unit (but not any square footage attributable to any mezzanine space or floor built therein) and the 51st Floor Space, but expressly excluding any square footage attributable to the Storage Space and Tenant’s Roof
73
Top Space. As of the Execution Date, (A) the RSF for the Initial Office Space during the Initial Term shall be deemed to be 193,249 and (B) Tenant’s Proportionate Tax Share is deemed to be 27.466%, subject to further adjustment in the event Tenant leases the Short Term Expansion Space, the 51st Floor Space or any other space in the Unit (other than the lower level of the Building [unless such space is subject to Taxes]).
B.
Computations.
(i)
Tenant’s Tax Payment. Tenant shall pay to Landlord an amount (“Tenant’s Tax Payment”) (a) in respect of the Office Space and, if leased by Tenant, the 51st Floor Space, for each Tax Year commencing with the first Tax Year after the expiration of the Tax Base Year, equal to Tenant’s Proportionate Tax Share of the increase, if any, in Taxes for such Tax Year over the Base Year Taxes and (b) in respect of Tenant’s Roof Top Space, commencing with the RTS Rent Commencement Date and each Tax Year thereafter, one hundred percent (100%) of the RTS Taxes.
(ii)
Estimated Tax Statement. At any time before or after the commencement of any Tax Year, Landlord may furnish to Tenant a statement (“Estimated Tax Statement”) of Landlord’s reasonable estimate of Tenant’s Tax Payment for such Tax Year (“Tenant’s Estimated Tax Payment”). The Estimated Tax Statement shall be accompanied by a copy of the tax statement or xxxx for the Taxes, the RTS Taxes or any component thereof, provided that if such tax statement or xxxx is not then available, Landlord will furnish a copy of the tax statement or xxxx within a reasonable time after Landlord’s receipt thereof. Tenant’s Estimated Tax Payment shall be payable by Tenant to Landlord on the date which is the later to occur of (a) thirty (30) days after receipt of Landlord’s Estimated Tax Statement, or (b) fifteen (15) days prior to the date on which the applicable Taxes or any component thereof or any installments thereof, are due to the applicable taxing authority (such earlier date, the “Tax Due Date”) or, if required by any Superior Mortgagee, in twelve (12) equal monthly installments on the first day of each month during the Tax Year (it being agreed that to the extent that Landlord is paid any interest on such installments, Tenant’s Proportionate Tax Share of any such interest payable to Landlord shall, upon payment thereof to Landlord, be paid or credited to Tenant in the same manner in which overpayments are paid or credited to Tenant (and subject to the same limitations) pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4.02B(ii)). For the purposes of this clause (ii) only Tenant’s Proportionate Tax Share solely with respect to the RTS Taxes shall be deemed to be 100%. If during any Tax Year the last-issued Estimated Tax Statement for such Tax Year is inaccurate in any respect, Landlord shall promptly issue a revised Estimated Tax Statement. If there shall be any increase in Taxes, the RTS Taxes or any component thereof for any Tax Year as indicated on a revised Estimated Tax Statement, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount shown on the revised Estimated Tax Statement on or before the applicable Tax Due Date. Subject to the provisions of the last sentence of this Section 4.02B(ii), if there shall be any decrease in Taxes, the RTS Taxes or any
74
component thereof for any Tax Year as indicated on a revised Estimated Tax Statement, such that Tenant shall have overpaid Tenant’s Tax Payment for the Tax Year in question, then (1) if such decrease will give rise to a credit issued by the taxing authority against future Taxes or the RTS Taxes, as the case may be, Landlord shall credit Tenant’s Proportionate Tax Share of the amount of such credit, as and when received by Landlord, against the next subsequent payments of Rent until such credit is fully applied, or (2) if such decrease will give rise to a cash refund from the taxing authority to Landlord, Landlord shall refund to Tenant within thirty (30) days after receipt of such refund by Landlord, the amount of such overpayment on the revised Estimated Tax Statement for such Tax Year. If, at the time Landlord receives any such credit or refund, Tenant is then in monetary default or material non-monetary default under this Lease, in each case, beyond the expiration of any applicable notice and/or cure period, Landlord may offset the amount of such credit or refund payable to Tenant against amounts properly due and owing by Tenant to Landlord.
(iii)
Tax Statement. If Taxes for any Tax Year after the Tax Base Year, or the RTS Taxes for any Tax Year in which Tenant is required to pay the RTS Taxes shall be less than the amount reflected on the last-issued Estimated Tax Statement for such Tax Year, Landlord shall (and in any other case Landlord may) within sixty (60) days after the end of such Tax Year issue a statement of Taxes or the RTS Taxes, as applicable, for such Tax Year, including a computation of Tenant’s Tax Payment for such Tax Year (a “Tax Statement”). If Tenant shall have overpaid Taxes, the RTS Taxes or any component thereof for any Tax Year, Landlord, at its option, shall, subject to the last sentence of Section 4.02B(ii) hereof, either refund the amount overpaid to Tenant together with delivery of the Tax Statement or allow Tenant a credit against the next subsequent payments of Rent in the amount of Tenant’s overpayment of Taxes and/or the RTS Taxes. If Tenant shall have underpaid Taxes and/or the RTS Taxes for any Tax Year, Tenant shall pay to Landlord an amount equal to the amount of such underpayment of Tenant’s Tax Payment with respect to such Tax Year within thirty (30) days after receipt of the applicable Tax Statement.

D.
BID Assessments.
(i)
Tenant’s Bid Payment. Commencing with the Rent Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay to Landlord an amount (“Tenant’s BID Payment”) equal to Tenant’s Proportionate Tax Share of the BID Assessment for the Tax Year in which the Rent Commencement Date occurs and each Tax Year thereafter.
(ii)
Estimated BID Statement. At any time before or after the commencement of any Tax Year, Landlord may furnish to Tenant a statement (“Estimated BID Statement”) of Landlord’s reasonable estimate of Tenant’s BID Payment for such BID Year (“Tenant’s Estimated BID Payment”). The Estimated
75
BID Statement shall be accompanied by a copy of the tax statement or xxxx for the BID Assessment, provided that if such tax statement or xxxx is not then available, Landlord will furnish a copy of the tax statement or xxxx within a reasonable time after Landlord’s receipt thereof. Tenant’s Estimated BID Payment shall be payable by Tenant to Landlord on the date which is the later to occur of (a) thirty (30) days after receipt of Landlord’s Estimated BID Statement, or (b) fifteen (15) days prior to the date on which the applicable BID Assessment or component thereof, is due to the applicable taxing authority or BID (such earlier date, the “BID Due Date”) or, if required by any Superior Mortgagee, in twelve (12) equal monthly installments on the first day of each month during the Tax Year (it being agreed that to the extent that Landlord is paid any interest on such installments, Tenant’s Proportionate Tax Share of any such interest payable to Landlord shall, upon payment thereof to Landlord, be paid or credited to Tenant in the same manner in which overpayments are paid or credited to Tenant (and subject to the same limitations) pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4.02D(ii)). If during any Tax Year the last-issued Estimated BID Statement for such Tax Year is inaccurate in any respect, Landlord shall promptly issue a revised Estimated BID Statement. If there shall be any increase in the BID Assessment or any component thereof for any Tax Year as indicated on a revised Estimated BID Statement, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount shown on the revised Estimated BID Statement on or before the applicable BID Due Date. Subject to the provisions of the last sentence of this Section 4.02D(ii), if there shall be any decrease in the BID Assessment or any component thereof for any Tax Year as indicated on a revised Estimated BID Statement, such that Tenant shall have overpaid Tenant’s BID Payment for the Tax Year in question, then (1) if such decrease will give rise to a credit issued by the taxing authority against any future BID Assessment, Landlord shall credit Tenant’s Proportionate Tax Share of the amount of such credit, as and when received by Landlord, against the next subsequent payments of Rent until such credit is fully applied, or (2) if such decrease will give rise to a cash refund from the taxing authority to Landlord, Landlord shall refund to Tenant the amount of such overpayment within thirty (30) days after receipt by Landlord of such refund. If, at the time Landlord receives any such credit or refund, Tenant is then in monetary default or material non-monetary default under this Lease, in each case, beyond the expiration of any applicable notice and/or cure period, Landlord may offset the amount of such credit or refund payable to Tenant against amounts properly due and owing by Tenant to Landlord.
(iii)
BID Statement. If, for any Tax Year, the BID Assessment shall be less than the amount reflected on the last-issued Estimated BID Statement for such Tax Year, Landlord shall (and in any other case Landlord may) within sixty (60) days after the end of such Tax Year issue a statement of the BID Assessment for such Tax Year, including a computation of Tenant’s BID Payment for such Tax Year (a “BID Statement”). If Tenant shall have overpaid the BID Assessment or any component thereof for any Tax Year, Landlord, at its option, shall, subject to the last sentence of Section 4.02D(ii) hereof, either refund the overpayment to Tenant together with the delivery of the BID Statement or allow
76
Tenant a credit against the next subsequent payments of Rent in the amount of Tenant’s overpayment of the BID Assessment. If Tenant shall have underpaid the BID Assessment for any Tax Year, Tenant shall pay to Landlord an amount equal to the amount of such underpayment of Tenant’s BID Payment with respect to such Tax Year within thirty (30) days after receipt of the applicable BID Statement.
E.
Miscellaneous.
(i)
Challenges and Refunds. Only Landlord shall be eligible to institute tax certiorari or other proceedings to reduce the assessed value of the Unit or any portion thereof. If, subsequent to the date of the Tax Statement or BID Statement for any Tax Year, Landlord shall receive a refund of (a) Taxes or any component thereof for any Tax Year after the Tax Base Year, (b) the RTS Taxes or any component thereof for any Tax Year in which Tenant is required to pay the RTS Taxes, and/or (c) any BID Assessment, Landlord, at its option, shall, subject to the last sentence of Section 4.02B(ii) or 4.02D(ii) hereof, as applicable, either pay to Tenant within thirty (30) days after receipt by Landlord, or allow Tenant a credit against subsequent payments of Rent (but following the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Landlord shall, subject to the last sentence of Section 4.02B(ii) or 4.02D(ii) hereof, as applicable, pay to Tenant) an amount equal to Tenant’s Proportionate Tax Share (which, for the purposes of subparagraphs (i), (ii) and (iii) of this Section 4.02E as it relates solely to the RTS Taxes, shall mean 100%) of such reduction or refund in respect of Taxes, the RTS Taxes and/or the BID Assessment, as applicable, after deducting from such refund (to the extent not already netted out of the net refund) the reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in obtaining the same, but the amount of such refund or credit to Tenant shall not exceed Tenant’s Tax Payment or Tenant’s BID Payment theretofore paid for such Tax Year. Landlord shall institute, and in good faith prosecute (which shall include the right of Landlord to reasonably settle any such proceeding), tax certiorari proceedings with respect to the Unit with respect to each Tax Year after the Base Tax Year. Landlord shall not at any time propose or accept any settlement, compromise or other disposition of a proceeding relating to Taxes or BID Assessment which (i) favors other property of Landlord (or any Affiliate of Landlord) at the expense of the Unit or (ii) as part of a multi-year settlement, inequitably reduces the Base Year Taxes as compared to other Tax Years involved in such settlement. Tenant shall pay to Landlord within thirty (30) days after being billed therefor, Tenant’s Proportionate Tax Share of any actual out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred by Landlord in contesting in good faith any items comprising Taxes, the RTS Taxes or a BID Assessment and/or the assessed value of the Unit to the extent that such expenses have not theretofore been recovered by Landlord pursuant to this Lease.
(ii)
Taxes Payable by Tenant. Tenant shall pay any occupancy tax or rent tax now in effect or hereafter enacted and payable by Tenant (and for which Landlord will be liable if not paid by Tenant) on or before the date such taxes and assessments are due in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements. Should
77
any Governmental Authority require that a tax, other than the taxes hereinabove-mentioned, be paid by Tenant, but collected by Landlord, for and on behalf of said Governmental Authority, and from time to time forwarded by Landlord to said Governmental Authority, the same shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord, no later than ten (10) days in advance of the date such payment is due and payable to the appropriate Governmental Authority, in which case, Landlord shall, on or before the date the same is due, promptly pay the same to the appropriate Governmental Authority.
(iii)
Discounts. If Landlord receives a discount for early payment or prepayment of Taxes, the RTS Taxes or a BID Assessment or is entitled to an abatement or exemption therefrom, Tenant shall be entitled to Tenant’s Proportionate Tax Share of the benefit of any such discount for any early payment or prepayment of Taxes, the RTS Taxes or a BID Assessment and of any exemption or abatement relating to all or any part of the Unit and/or Landlord’s interest in the Common Elements, provided that Tenant paid to Landlord Tenant’s Proportionate Tax Share of such tax installment, BID Assessment or the RTS Taxes, as applicable, earning such discount prior to the last day for payment of the tax installment, BID Assessment or the RTS Taxes, as applicable, to the relevant taxing authority in order to earn such discount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall not be entitled to any discount, credit or other benefit in respect of Taxes, the RTS Taxes or a BID Assessment on account of any credit or offset provided in Section 3.1(b)(ii) of the Unit Ground Lease.
(iv)
Partial Tax Year; Delay. Tenant’s liability under this Section 4.02 with respect to the applicable Tax Year in which Tenant is first obligated to make Tenant’s Tax Payment for Taxes or the RTS Taxes, as applicable, and Tenant’s BID Payment and with respect to the Tax Year in which this Lease shall expire or terminate (except on account of Tenant’s default) shall be computed on a pro-rata basis based on the actual number of days in the period for which Tenant’s Tax Payment and/or Tenant’s BID Payment, as the case may be, is payable. Landlord’s failure to render or delay in rendering an Estimated Tax Statement or a Tax Statement or an Estimated BID Statement or BID Statement, as the case may be, with respect to any Tax Year shall not prejudice Landlord’s right thereafter to render the same with respect thereto or with respect to any subsequent Tax Year nor shall the rendering of a Tax Statement or BID Statement for any Tax Year prejudice Landlord, provided that Landlord renders the Estimated Tax Statement, Tax Statement, Estimated BID Statement or BID Statement in question within two (2) years after the end of the Tax Year in question or, with respect to Taxes or BID Assessments which are the subject of tax certiorari proceedings, within two (2) years after the final resolution of such proceedings, except that after the Expiration Date, Landlord shall have until the date that is one (1) year after the Expiration Date to render any such Tax Statement or Bid Statement.
(v)
Adjustments due to the Sale or Acquisition of Unit(s). In the event that Landlord shall sell its interest in any of the condominium units comprising the Unit to any third party (other than an Affiliate of Landlord) or acquire any
78
additional condominium units in the Building during the Term, then, with respect to the calculation of any Tenant’s Tax Payment or Tenant’s BID Payment required to be made by Tenant from and after the date (the “Tax Adjustment Date”) which is the later to occur of: (a) the date of such sale or acquisition, as the case may be, or (b) the date that the taxing authority shall designate separate tax lot(s) for the portion(s) of the Unit that continue to be owned by Landlord and/or any Affiliate of Landlord and includes the Demised Premises (including any portion of Tenant’s Tax Payment or Tenant’s BID Payment for the Tax Year in which such designation is made accruing after the Tax Adjustment Date), (1) an appropriate (A) reduction in the Base Year Taxes, in the case of a sale or (B) an appropriate increase in the Base Year Taxes, in the case of an acquisition shall be made by Landlord and Tenant to reflect the amount of Taxes that were incurred or payable during the Tax Base Year with respect to only the portion of the Unit that is within the tax lot(s) owned (or leased pursuant to the Unit Ground Lease) by Landlord after the Tax Adjustment Date and (2) an appropriate modification to Tenant’s Proportionate Tax Share shall be made by Landlord and Tenant to reflect the reduction or increase, as the case may be, in the number of RSF in the Unit after the Tax Adjustment Date. No such sale or acquisition shall change the definition of Taxes contained herein nor cause the PILOT program to terminate prior to the Scheduled PILOT Conversion Date.
(vi)
Mezzanine Space. If any mezzanine or other additional space is constructed by or on behalf of Tenant in the Storage Space and/or if leased by Tenant hereunder, the 51st Floor Space (including any construction thereof as part of Tenant’s Initial Work), Tenant shall be solely responsible to pay to Landlord, together with Tenant’s Tax Payment, one hundred percent (100%) of any Taxes attributable (if any) solely to such mezzanine or other additional space, provided that any such sums shall not be included in Taxes or the RTS Taxes for the purposes of calculating Tenant’s Tax Payment hereunder.

Solely for the purposes of this definition of Base Operating Expense Year, if the Commencement Date has not occurred by June 30, 2007 due to Tenant Delay or Force Majeure, then such June 30, 2007 date shall (A) be extended on a day for day basis for each day of Tenant Delay and (B) (i) be extended on a day for day basis for each of the first sixty (60) days that Commencement Date does not occur as a result of Force Majeure (ii) be extended on a one-half day for day basis for each of the next sixty (60) days of Force Majeure and (iii) not be extended due to any further Force Majeure after one hundred twenty (120) days of Force Majeure; it being agreed, however, that any such extension pursuant to clauses (A) and (B) is not intended to be cumulative (nor double counted), and that if more than one Tenant Delay and/or Force Majeure occur simultaneously, then to the extent of such simultaneous occurrence such delays (whether caused by Tenant Delay, by Force Majeure or both) shall be deemed to run concurrently and not consecutively and, in the event of a simultaneous occurrence of Tenant Delay and Force Majeure, the delay shall be deemed to be Tenant Delay and not Force Majeure.
(ii)
“Base Year Operating Expenses” shall mean the Operating Expenses for the Base Operating Expense Year; it being agreed that if the Base Operating Expense Year is not a calendar year, then the Base Year Operating Expenses shall be deemed to be the average of the Operating Expenses for the two (2) calendar years included in the Base Operating Expense Year.

(55)
solely for purposes of calculating Tenant’s Operating Expense Payment under clause (i) of Section 4.03B(i)(A) hereof, Operating Expenses (including Base Year Operating Expenses) shall be deemed to have excluded therefrom the following Operating Expenses (collectively, the “RTS Operating Expenses”): (A) all Common Charges (if any) allocated to Tenant’s Roof Top Space, the RTS Shuttle Elevator and, if leased by Tenant hereunder, the 51st Floor Space, (B) Operating Expenses directly attributable to Tenant’s Roof Top Space, the RTS Shuttle Elevator, and, if leased by Tenant hereunder, the 51st Floor Space and (C) a fair and reasonable portion of such Operating Expenses, including insurance, that are attributable to both (x) Tenant’s Roof Top Space, the RTS Shuttle Elevator and, if leased by Tenant hereunder, the 51st Floor Space and (y) the balance of the Unit (including, a portion of the management fee therefor) (Landlord agreeing that RTS Operating Expenses shall include the benefit of any discounts of Base System maintenance contracts with respect thereto, including discounts, if any, with respect to the maintenance of the RTS Shuttle Elevator and the benefits under such maintenance contracts, including, to the extent included as part of such contracts, overtime services, emergency repairs and the like); and
(56)
Any costs included in the RTS Build-out Work.
If during all or part of any Operating Expense Year (including the Base Operating Expense Year), Landlord shall not furnish any particular item(s) of work or service (which would otherwise constitute an Operating Expense hereunder) to the Unit due to the fact that less than the entire leaseable space of the Unit is occupied or leased (even if portions of the Unit are not yet ready for occupancy or lease), then, for purposes of computing Operating Expenses for such Operating Expense Year, the amount included in Operating Expenses for such item(s) for such period shall be deemed to be increased to reflect the variable Operating Expense costs that would have been payable had the Unit been one hundred percent (100%) occupied for the entire Operating Expense Year or which would reasonably have been incurred during such period by
89
Landlord if it had furnished such item(s) of work or service to the Unit or portion thereof, as the case may be. Without limiting the foregoing, it shall be assumed that all services in respect of the Unit are in place and fully costed (e.g., discounts for the initial period of multi-year contracts shall be appropriately adjusted). Similarly, if during all or part of any Operating Expense Year (including the Base Operating Expense Year), Landlord shall not furnish any particular item(s) of work or service (which would otherwise constitute an Operating Expense hereunder) to the Unit due to the fact that such item(s) of work or service is not required or desired by the tenant of such portion or such tenant is itself obtaining and providing such item(s) of work or service, then, for purposes of computing Operating Expenses for such Operating Expense Year, the amount included in Operating Expenses for such item(s) for such period shall be increased to reflect the variable Operating Expense costs that would reasonably have been incurred during such period by Landlord, if it had furnished such item(s) of work or service to the Unit or portion thereof. Further, with respect to the calculation of the Base Year Operating Expenses only, if and to the extent certain expenses are incurred with respect to only a portion of the Base Operating Expense Year, then such expenses shall be annualized to more closely approximate the cost that will be incurred for such expense over the course of the subsequent full year.
The management fee included in Operating Expenses in the Base Operating Expense Year (the “Base Management Fee”) shall be the amount actually payable by Landlord in such year for management fees, subject to the gross-up provisions of the preceding paragraph. Thereafter, for so long as the Unit continues to be owner managed (which for the purposes hereof shall mean managed by Landlord or a Landlord Entity), the Base Management Fee shall be increased for each Operating Expense Year by an amount not to exceed the lesser of (a) the actual increase in the management fee for such Operating Expense Year and (b) the percentage of increase (the “Percentage Increase”) in the Operating Expenses for such Operating Expense Year over the Base Operating Expense Year, both exclusive of such management fees. If, at any time, the Unit is managed by an entity which is not a Landlord Entity, the amount of management fees shall not exceed the amount charged by management companies of Comparable Buildings for services comparable to those services being provided at the Building (“Comparable Management Companies”) and, for purposes of determining the Operating Expenses for the Base Operating Expense Year allocable to such management fees, the management fees for the Base Operating Expense Year shall be deemed to be the greater of (x) the Base Management Fee and (y) the management fees charged by such company for the Unit during its first full year of management provided that the management fees for such first year of management shall be comparable to that amount charged by Comparable Management Companies (i.e., such amount shall not be intentionally reduced so as to artificially lower the Operating Expenses for the Base Operating Expense Year) less the amount of any increases added to the Base Management Fee set forth in the preceding sentence. By way of illustration only (and not intended to be reflective of actual expenses for management fees), if ten (10) years after the Base Operating Expense Year, (i) the management fee has been increased to $850,000 per annum (and the Base Management Fee was $750,000 per annum) and, (ii) the amount then charged by Comparable Management Companies is $1,000,000 per annum and (iii) the Building converts from being managed by a Landlord Entity to being managed by a new entity (which is not a Landlord Entity), then the management fees for the Base Operating Expense Year shall be deemed to be $900,000 per annum (i.e., $1,000,000 - ($850,000 - $750,000) = $900,000).
90
To the extent that at any time during the four (4) year period after the Rent Commencement Date, Landlord adds one or more new categories of Operating Expenses not included in the Base Year Operating Expenses, then, for so long as expenses relating to such new categories are included in Operating Expenses, the Base Year Operating Expenses shall be increased by amount equal to (a) the amount included in Operating Expenses for such new category of Operating Expenses in such first Operating Expense Year (it being understood that Landlord shall have no obligation to refund any amounts to Tenant for prior Operating Expense Years solely by reason of any such increase of the Base Year Operating Expenses) reduced by (b) the percentage increase in the CPI, if any, from the first month of the Base Operating Expense Year to the first month of the Operating Expense Year with respect to which such amounts are first included in Operating Expenses. By way of example, (i) if the CPI has increased by 10%, in the aggregate, since the Base Operating Expense Year, and (ii) the new category costs are $5,000 per annum in such first Operating Expense Year, then the Operating Expenses for the Base Operating Expense Year shall be increased by $4,500 per annum on account of such new category.
(iv)
“Operating Expense Year” shall mean, for purposes of determining Operating Expenses each calendar year all or any part of which shall fall within the Term hereof.
(v)
“Tenant’s Proportionate Operating Expense Share” shall be computed on the basis of a fraction, the numerator of which is the RSF area, from time to time, of the Premises, and the denominator of which is the total RSF area of the Unit (excluding from such numerator and denominator all RSF of the 28th and 51st floors of the Unit, the Storage Space and all square footage allocated to Tenant’s Roof Top Space). As of the Execution Date, (A) the RSF of the Premises for the purposes of calculating Tenant’s Proportionate Operating Expense Share during the Initial Term shall be deemed to be 193,249 RSF and (B) Tenant’s Proportionate Operating Expense Share shall be deemed to be 27.602%, subject to further adjustment in the event Tenant leases the Short Term Expansion Space and/or any other office space in the Unit.
B.
Computations.
(i)
Tenant’s Operating Expense Payment. Tenant shall pay to Landlord an amount (“Tenant’s Operating Expense Payment”) equal to (A) Tenant’s Proportionate Operating Expense Share of the amount by which Operating Expenses for such Operating Expense Year exceeds the Base Year Operating Expenses commencing on the day immediately following the last day of the Base Operating Expense Year and (B) one hundred percent (100%) of the RTS Operating Expenses commencing on the RTS Rent Commencement Date.
(ii)
Estimated Operating Expense Statement. At any time before or after the commencement of any Operating Expense Year, Landlord may render to Tenant a statement in reasonable detail of Landlord’s reasonable estimate of Tenant’s Operating Expense Payment for such Operating Expense Year (“Estimated Operating Expense Statement”) and the amount shown thereon (the
91
“Tenant’s Estimated Operating Expense Payment”) shall be payable by Tenant to Landlord in twelve (12) equal monthly installments on the first day of each month during the Operating Expense Year (but the first payment on account of the Tenant’s Estimated Operating Expense Payment shall not be due and payable until thirty (30) days after delivery to Tenant of such Estimated Operating Expense Statement). If, however, Landlord shall furnish such Estimated Operating Expense Statement for any Operating Expense Year subsequent to the commencement thereof, then (a) until the first day of the month following the month in which such Estimated Operating Expense Statement is furnished to Tenant, Tenant shall continue to pay to Landlord on the first day of each month an amount equal to the monthly sum payable under this Section 4.03B in respect of the last month of the preceding Operating Expense Year, (b) after such Estimated Operating Expense Statement is furnished to Tenant or together therewith, Landlord shall give notice to Tenant stating whether the installments of Tenant’s Operating Expense Payment previously made for such Operating Expense Year pursuant to clause (a) of this sentence were greater or less than the installments of Tenant’s Operating Expense Payment to be made for such Operating Expense Year in accordance with such Estimated Operating Expense Statement, and (1) if there shall be a deficiency, Tenant shall pay the amount thereof within thirty (30) days after demand therefor or (2) subject to the provisions of the last sentence of this Section 4.03B(ii), if there shall have been an overpayment, Landlord shall, at Landlord’s option, pay to Tenant together with such notice, or credit against the next subsequent payments of Rent, the amount thereof (together with interest thereon at (x) the Prime Rate if the amount of the overpayment is 3% or more but less than 5% and (y) the Interest Rate if such overpayment is 5% or more); and (c) on the first day of the second month following the month in which such Estimated Operating Expense Statement is furnished to Tenant, and monthly thereafter throughout the remainder of such Operating Expense Year, Tenant shall pay to Landlord an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the Estimated Operating Expense Payment shown on such Estimated Operating Expense Statement; provided, however, if the Operating Expense Statement required to be delivered pursuant to Section 4.03B(iii) hereof for the prior Operating Expense Year has not been delivered within two hundred seventy (270) days after the expiration of such prior Operating Expense Year, then from and after such two hundred seventieth (270th) day until such required Operating Expense Statement has been delivered, Tenant shall pay an amount (the “Adjusted Operating Expense Payment Amount”) equal to the lesser of (A) the current 1/12th of the Estimated Operating Expense Payment and (B) 103% of 1/12th of the Estimated Operating Expense Payment for the preceding Operating Expense Year. Landlord may furnish to Tenant up to two (2) revised Estimated Operating Expense Statements for such Operating Expense Year, which shall be accompanied by a statement of Landlord explaining the basis for such revision, and, in either such case, Tenant’s payments under this Section on account of such Operating Expense Year shall be adjusted and paid or credited, as the case may be, substantially in the same manner as provided in the immediately preceding sentence. If, at the time Tenant becomes entitled to any refund or credit of an Operating Expense Payment, Tenant is then in monetary default or material non-monetary default under this Lease, in each
92
case, beyond the expiration of any applicable notice and/or cure period, Landlord may offset the amount of such credit or refund payable to Tenant against amounts properly due and owing by Tenant to Landlord.
(iii)
Operating Expense Statement. Within two-hundred seventy (270) days after the end of each Operating Expense Year (including the Base Operating Expense Year), Landlord shall issue a statement of Operating Expenses for such Operating Expense Year, including a computation of Tenant’s Operating Expense Payment for such Operating Expense Year (an “Operating Expense Statement”) which Operating Expense Statement shall separately identify the RTS Operating Expenses thereon. If Tenant’s Estimated Operating Expense Payments shall have been less than Tenant’s Operating Expense Payment (including, if by reason of the requirement that Tenant pay the Adjusted Operating Expense Payment Amount), the deficiency shall be payable by Tenant to Landlord within thirty (30) days after receipt of such Operating Expense Statement. If Tenant’s Estimated Operating Expense Payment shall have been more than Tenant’s Operating Expense Payment (including, if by reason of the requirement that Tenant pay the Adjusted Operating Expense Payment Amount), the overpayment (together with interest thereon at (x) the Prime Rate if the amount of the overpayment is 3% or more but less than 5% and (y) the Interest Rate if the amount of the overpayment is 5% or more), shall, subject to the last sentence of Section 4.03(B)(ii), at Landlord’s option, be credited by Landlord against Tenant’s next subsequent payments of Rent or paid to Tenant together with such Operating Expense Statement.
(iv)
Partial Operating Expense Year; Delay. Tenant’s liability under this Section 4.03B with respect to the Operating Expense Year in which Tenant is first obligated to make an Operating Expense Payment hereunder and with respect to the Operating Expense Year in which this Lease shall expire or (except on account of Tenant’s default) terminate shall be computed on a pro rata basis based on the actual number of days in the period for which Tenant’s Operating Expense Payment is payable. Landlord’s failure to render or delay in rendering an Estimated Operating Expense Statement or an Operating Expense Statement with respect to any Operating Expense Year shall not prejudice Landlord’s right thereafter to render the same with respect thereto or with respect to any subsequent Operating Expense Year nor shall the rendering of an Operating Expense Statement for any Operating Expense Year prejudice Landlord’s right thereafter to render a corrected Operating Expense Statement for such Operating Expense Year; provided that Landlord renders the Operating Expense Statement in question within two (2) years after the end of the Operating Expense Year in question, except in the case of the Operating Expense Year in which the Expiration Date occurs, in which event such Operating Expense Statement must be rendered within one (1) year after the Expiration Date.
(v)
Adjustments due to the Sale or Acquisition of Unit(s). In the event that Landlord shall sell its interest in any of the condominium units comprising the Unit to a third party (other than a Landlord Affiliate) or acquire any additional
93
units in the Building during the Term, then, with respect to the calculation of any Tenant’s Operating Expense Payment required to be made by Tenant from and after the date such sale or acquisition, as the case may be, (a) an appropriate (1) reduction in the Base Year Operating Expenses, in the case of a sale or (2) an appropriate increase in the Base Year Operating Expenses in the case of an acquisition shall be made by Landlord and Tenant to reflect the amount of Operating Expenses that were incurred or paid during the Base Operating Expense Year with respect to only the portion of the Unit that is within the tax lot(s) owned (or leased pursuant to the Unit Ground Lease) by Landlord after the date of such sale and (b) an appropriate modification to Tenant’s Proportionate Operating Expense Share shall be made by Landlord and Tenant to reflect the reduction or increase, as the case may be, in the number of RSF in the Unit after the date of such sale.
4.04

A.
Tenant, upon notice given within one hundred fifty (150) days after Tenant’s receipt of a Tax Statement, BID Statement or an Operating Expense Statement (each, a “Landlord’s Statement”), as the case may be, may elect to have an Approved Examiner designated (in such notice) by Tenant examine such of Landlord’s books and records (collectively “Records”) as are relevant to such Landlord’s Statement, together with reasonable supporting data therefor, including applicable Records for the Base Operating Expense Year or Base Tax Year, as the case may be, such examination to occur during Business Hours and upon at least five (5) Business Days’ prior notice to Landlord, and which shall commence not later than thirty (30) days following the date of Tenant’s notice, as such date may be extended on a day for day basis to the extent Landlord delays Tenant’s access to such books and records following Tenant’s request therefor or due to Force Majeure. An “Approved Examiner” shall be (a) a certified public accountant or other qualified professional who is a member of an independent certified public accounting firm or other qualified professional services firm having at least fifteen (15) professionals or (b) an employee of Tenant, who, in each instance, is not (and whose firm is not) being compensated by Tenant, in whole or in part, on a contingency or success fee basis and is not and has not during the Term (or the three (3) year period prior thereto) been Affiliated with, a shareholder, an officer, director, partner or employee of, any managing agent of the Building or Landlord or any Landlord Entity. As a condition to Tenant’s right to review the Records, Tenant shall pay all sums required to be paid in accordance with the Landlord’s Statement in question; provided that the payment of such sums shall be without prejudice to Tenant’s right to dispute such amounts or Tenant’s right to recover if Tenant successfully challenges Landlord’s Statement in accordance with Section 4.06D hereof. If
94
Tenant shall not give such notice within such one hundred fifty (150) day period, then such Landlord’s Statement shall be conclusive and binding upon Tenant. Either Tenant or Landlord, upon notice given at any time after the third (3rd) anniversary of the Rent Commencement Date but prior to the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Rent Commencement Date (such period of time, the “Look-Back Period”), may elect to have the Records relevant to the calculation of the Base Year Operating Expenses, together with reasonable supporting data therefor, examined (in Tenant’s case, by an Approved Examiner). Such examination (a) shall occur during Business Hours and upon at least ten (10) Business Days’ prior notice to Landlord (if requested by Tenant), and (b) commence not later than twenty (20) days following the date of Tenant or Landlord’s notice, as applicable, subject to Force Majeure.
B.
Landlord hereby agrees to maintain and preserve its Records with respect to (i) the Base Operating Year Expenses, until the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Rent Commencement Date, and (ii) for each subsequent Operating Year, for a period of at least three (3) years following the delivery of Landlord’s Statement with respect thereto or such longer period as any dispute and/or audit in respect of such Records may be ongoing.
C.
Tenant and Tenant’s employees, accountants and agents (including the Approved Examiner) shall treat all Records as confidential, and, as a condition to any review of the Records, shall confirm such confidentiality obligation in writing by executing a confidentiality agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 4.06C (the “Confidentiality Agreement”). Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, have the right to obtain copies and/or make abstracts of the Records as it may request in connection with its verification of any such Operating Expense Statement and/or the Base Year Operating Expenses, subject to the provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement.
D.
Tenant, within one hundred eighty (180) days after the date on which the Records are made available to Tenant, as required herein, may send a notice (“Tenant’s Statement”) to Landlord that Tenant disagrees with the applicable Landlord’s Statement, specifying in reasonable detail the basis for Tenant’s disagreement. If Tenant fails timely to deliver a Tenant’s Statement, then such Landlord’s Statement shall be conclusive and binding on Tenant. If Tenant timely delivers a Tenant’s Statement, Landlord and Tenant shall attempt to resolve such disagreement within thirty (30) days after delivery of Tenant’s Statement. If they are unable to do so, Tenant may send a notice to Landlord, within ninety (90) days after the delivery of Tenant’s Statement in connection with the disagreement in question indicating that Tenant desires to have such disagreement determined by an Arbiter and setting forth the name of an individual proposed by Tenant to serve as Arbiter. If Landlord does not agree with Tenant’s selection of an Arbiter, Landlord and Tenant shall attempt to agree on another individual to serve as Arbiter, and if Landlord and Tenant shall be unable to agree upon the designation of the Arbiter within twenty (20) days after Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s notice requesting the appointment of an Arbiter, then either party shall have the right to request the AAA to designate the Arbiter. The “Arbiter” shall be a certified public accountant whose practice primarily involves real estate accounting and who is a member of an independent certified public accounting firm having at least fifteen (15) accounting professionals. The Arbiter’s determination, made in accordance with this Section, shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties. If Tenant timely delivers a Tenant’s Statement, the disagreement referenced therein is not resolved by the parties and Tenant fails to notify Landlord of Tenant’s desire to have such
95
disagreement determined by an Arbiter within the ninety (90) day period set forth above, then the Landlord’s Statement to which such disagreement relates shall be conclusive and binding on Tenant. The cost of the Arbiter shall be borne equally by Landlord and Tenant; provided that if it is determined that Landlord’s Statement was overstated by five percent (5%) or more, then the cost of the Arbiter shall be borne by Landlord. Any determination made by an Arbiter shall not exceed the amount determined to be due in the first instance by Landlord’s Statement (subject to Landlord’s rights to revise Landlord’s Statement as permitted herein), nor shall such determination be less than the amount claimed to be due by Tenant in Tenant’s Statement, and any determination which does not comply with the foregoing shall be null and void and not binding on the parties. In rendering such determination the Arbiter shall not add to, subtract from or otherwise modify the provisions of this Lease. Pending the resolution of any contest pursuant to this Section, and as a condition to Tenant’s right to prosecute such contest (but without prejudice to Tenant’s position), Tenant shall pay all sums required to be paid in accordance with the Landlord’s Statement in question. If Tenant shall prevail in such contest, Landlord shall, at its option, subject to the last sentence of Section 4.02(B)(ii), Section 4.02D(ii) or Section 4.03B(ii), as applicable, either credit against Tenant’s next subsequent payments of Rent the amount (together with interest thereon at (x) the Prime Rate if such overpayment is 3% or more but less than 5% and (y) the Interest Rate if the overpayment is 5% or more) determined to be overpaid or pay such amount (including the required interest thereon, if any) to Tenant within thirty (30) days after such determination.
E.
Landlord or Tenant, within ninety (90) days after the delivery of its notice electing to examine the Records relating to the Base Year Operating Expenses during the Look-Back Period, may notify the other party in writing (an “Adjustment Notice”) that the calculation of the Base Year Operating Expenses is incorrect, specifying in reasonable detail the basis for its belief and its reasonable estimate of the amount by which the aggregate Tenant’s Operating Expense Payments either exceed or fall short of the aggregate Tenant’s Operating Expense Payments claimed to be due as a result of a recalculation of the Base Year Operating Expenses (the “Operating Expense Payment Adjustment”). In the event of a short-fall, Tenant shall either (i) pay the Operating Expense Payment Adjustment within thirty (30) days of Landlord’s delivery of an Adjustment Notice, in which event the Base Year Operating Expenses thereafter shall be as stated in such Adjustment Notice, or (ii) dispute the same in writing to Landlord as hereinafter provided. In the event of an excess, Landlord shall either (i) credit or refund such excess in the same manner and subject to the same limitations as overpayments of Tenant’s Estimated Expense Payments as provided in Section 4.03B(ii) hereof, or (ii) dispute the same in writing to Tenant as hereinafter provided. If either party timely disputes the Operating Expense Payment Adjustment and the adjusted Base Year Operating Expenses, Landlord and Tenant shall attempt to resolve such disagreement within thirty (30) days after delivery of an Adjustment Notice. If they are unable to resolve such dispute within thirty (30) days thereafter, the party disputing the change may send a notice to the party delivering the Adjustment Notice, within one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of such party’s election to review the Base Year Operating Expenses indicating that the disputing party desires to have such disagreement determined by an Arbiter and setting forth the name of an individual proposed by the disputing party to serve as Arbiter. If the party delivering the Adjustment Notice does not agree with the disputing party’s selection of an Arbiter, the parties jointly shall attempt to agree on another individual to serve as Arbiter, but if they still are unable to agree within twenty (20) days after receipt of the notice requesting the appointment of an Arbiter, then either party shall have the
96
right to request the AAA to designate the Arbiter. The Arbiter’s determination, made in accordance with this Section, shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties. If the party on whom an Adjustment Notice has been served fails to notify the party delivering the Adjustment Notice of its desire to have such disagreement determined by an Arbiter within the thirty (30) day period set forth above, then the Operating Expense Payment Adjustment to which such disagreement relates shall be conclusive and binding on the parties. The cost of the Arbiter shall be borne equally by Landlord and Tenant. Any determination made by an Arbiter shall not exceed the claimed Operating Expense Payment Adjustment in the event of a claimed overpayment nor be less than the claimed Operating Expense Payment Adjustment in the event of a claimed underpayment and any determination which does not comply with the foregoing shall be null and void and not binding on the parties. In rendering such determination the Arbiter shall not add to, subtract from or otherwise modify the provisions of this Lease. If the actual Base Year Operating Expenses as agreed to by the parties or as otherwise determined by the Arbiter are greater than the Base Year Operating Expenses which Landlord had used to calculate Tenant’s Operating Expense Payments for the preceding Operating Expense Years, then (i) the Base Year Operating Expenses thereafter shall be as determined by the Arbiter pursuant to this Section 4.06E and (ii) Landlord shall recalculate Tenant’s Operating Expense Payments due for each Operating Expense Year during the Look-Back Period and shall credit any overpayments in the same manner and subject to the same limitations as overpayments of Tenant’s Estimated Expense Payments as provided in Section 4.03B(ii) hereof. If the actual Base Year Operating Expenses as agreed to by the parties or as otherwise determined by the Arbiter are less than the Base Year Operating Expenses which Landlord had used to calculate Tenant’s Operating Expense Payments for the preceding Operating Expense Years, then (i) the Base Year Operating Expenses thereafter shall be as determined by the Arbiter, pursuant to this Section 4.06E, and (ii) Landlord shall recalculate Tenant’s Operating Expense Payments due for each Operating Expense Year during the Look-Back Period on this basis and Tenant shall pay the amount determined to be underpaid to Landlord within thirty (30) days after such determination. If Tenant fails to exercise its right to confirm the Base Year Operating Expenses during the Look-Back Period, Landlord’s determination of the Base Year Operating Expenses shall be deemed conclusive and binding for all intents and purposes under this Lease.

(i)
If Tenant has elected to lease the 51st Floor Space as provided herein, Tenant may elect to include the ability to have cooking facilities (as opposed to just warming facilities) in the 51st Floor Space in the RTS Proposed Scope of Work. If the RTS Accepted Schematics and RTS Final CDs include such cooking facilities, then Landlord shall cause the RTS Contractor to install, for the exclusive use of the RTS Users, a Flue in the RTS Kitchen Exhaust Space as shown in the RTS Final CDs in compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements (including all required fireproofing) and Insurance Requirements, consisting of not more than one (1) duct for clean air in-take and one (1) duct for exhaust, and all peripheral equipment and electrical wiring and systems (including controls and interlocks) attendant thereto, all of which duct, equipment, and electrical wiring and systems must fit within the Kitchen Exhaust Space, for the removal of cooking exhaust from any Ancillary Cooking Use in the 51st Floor Space. In such event, Tenant acknowledges that (a) the Kitchen Exhaust Space will be extended horizontally within the 51st floor of the Building to a location reasonably designated by Landlord on the exterior of the Building on the 51st floor, (b) a kitchen exhaust fan will be installed at the top of the Flue at a location reasonably designated by Landlord and (c) the RTS Build-out Work will be required to include within the 51st Floor Space (at a location reasonably designated by Landlord) a kitchen exhaust air electrostatic precipitator reasonably acceptable to Landlord to clean and strip the kitchen exhaust of pollutants prior to its entry into the exhaust duct of the Flue (the “Air Purification System”).

All electricity usage in the 51st Floor Space, including with respect to the Air Purification System and all other equipment with respect to the RTS Kitchen Use, shall be measured by the submeter(s) installed to measure the 51st Floor Space Electrical Capacity.
107
(ii)
Subject to compliance with the provisions of Articles 2, 5, and 13 of this Lease, Tenant may elect prior to December 31, 2008 to install a Flue in connection with Ancillary Food Service Use involving cooking in the Office Space. If Tenant so elects, Tenant shall install (pursuant to a direct contract between Tenant and Tenant’s contractors), for Tenant’s exclusive use and at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, a Flue in the Kitchen Exhaust Shaft Space in compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements (including all required fireproofing) and/or Insurance Requirements, consisting of not more than one (1) duct for clean air in-take and one (1) duct for exhaust, and all peripheral equipment and electrical wiring and systems (including controls and interlocks) attendant thereto, all of which duct, equipment, and electrical wiring and systems must fit within the Kitchen Exhaust Shaft Space, for the removal of cooking exhaust from the Ancillary Cooking Use in the Office Space. In such event, Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense and as shown on Exhibit 6.01B attached hereto, (a) extend the Kitchen Exhaust Shaft Space to a location reasonably designated by Landlord in the 51st floor mechanical room by punching through the 51st floor slab and installing the required horizontal venting and (b) install a kitchen exhaust fan at the top of such Flue at a location reasonably designated by Landlord in the 51st floor mechanical room. In addition, and notwithstanding the fact that ventilation is part of the Building Systems under the Base Building Criteria, Tenant also shall, at its sole cost and expense, install and maintain in the Office Space (at a location reasonably designated by Landlord) an Air Purification System. If Tenant fails to exercise its option for the Flue prior to December 31, 2008, Tenant shall have no further rights under this Section to use or install a Flue for Ancillary Food Service use in the Office Space, or utilize the Kitchen Exhaust Shaft Space.
(iii)
Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense (a) shall keep any Flue and Air Purification System clean and maintained in good working order during the Term and (b) shall maintain all exhaust equipment (including, without limitation, the kitchen exhaust fan) for the ventilation of the Flue.

D.
Whenever it is provided in this Lease that a service is to be provided at Landlord’s actual cost, out-of-pocket cost or words of similar import there shall be excluded from such cost the depreciation or amortization of the cost of the equipment utilized to provide such service. Tenant, upon notice given within one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of any calendar year during the Term of this Lease, may elect to have an Approved Examiner or an engineer (meeting the qualifications for a Tenant’s Architect or other consultant familiar with the service in question (provided such engineer or consultant is not paid on a contingent or success fee basis) designated (in such notice) by Tenant examine Landlord’s records as to any charges for Landlord Services or any work performed by Landlord on behalf of Tenant pursuant to this Lease which are based on the actual cost (or actual increases) to Landlord to provide such Landlord Services or such work, as the case may be. Such examination and any disagreement by Tenant with respect to the actual cost as determined by Landlord shall be resolved by arbitration pursuant to Section 25.01 hereof. Tenant may not conduct any such examination more than two (2) times per calendar year, and if Tenant shall have failed to elect to examine records as to Landlord’s charges, then the same shall be conclusive and binding on Tenant.
E.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Base Building Criteria, Tenant shall have the right to tie-in to the smoke exhaust Base System solely for the purpose of servicing any internal staircase that Tenant may install in the Demised Premises in accordance with the terms hereof, provided that any such internal staircase is fully enclosed as required by applicable Legal Requirements.
6.02
A.
Landlord reserves the right to temporarily interrupt, curtail or suspend the services required to be furnished by Landlord under this Lease when the necessity therefor arises by reason of required maintenance, accident, labor dispute, riot, insurrection, emergency, mechanical breakdown, acts of God or other Force Majeure event, or when required by any Legal Requirements and/or Insurance Requirements, or for any other cause beyond the reasonable control of Landlord and, except as provided in Section 6.07A hereof, the same shall be without liability to Landlord nor shall the same constitute an actual or constructive eviction. Landlord shall provide Tenant with such advance notice, if any, as is reasonable under the circumstances of any stoppage, curtailment or interruption of service, and such notice shall set forth, on a non-binding basis, Landlord’s good faith estimate of the duration of such stoppage. Subject to the provisions of Section 10.04 hereof, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to complete all required repairs or other necessary work to provide restoration of any service provided by Landlord or the Condominium Board as reasonably promptly as possible and in a manner so as to minimize interference with Tenant’s ordinary use and enjoyment of the Demised Premises, and, where the cessation or interruption of such service has occurred due to circumstances or conditions beyond the boundaries of the Land, to cause the same to be restored by diligent application or request to the provider. To the extent reasonably possible, Landlord shall confine all such stoppages within Landlord’s reasonable control and routine maintenance
109
work affecting the Demised Premises to times that are not Business Hours. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Tenant with not less than five (5) Business Days’ prior notice of all scheduled repairs and maintenance affecting the Demised Premises and Tenant’s use thereof. Landlord will use commercially reasonable efforts to give Tenant not less than ten (10) Business Days’ prior notice of any Base System shutdowns affecting the Demised Premises and agrees to perform shut downs on non-Business Days, except in the case of an emergency or as otherwise directed by any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction or as required by applicable Legal Requirements and/or Insurance Requirements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except in the case of emergency or as otherwise directed by any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction as required by applicable Legal Requirements and/or Insurance Requirements, Landlord will not shut down any Base Systems that support Tenant’s Critical Systems or Critical Areas until Tenant is reasonably satisfied that such Critical Systems and/or Critical Areas are either safely shut down or supported by temporary services. Landlord shall, subject to the provisions of Section 10.04 hereof, use commercially reasonable efforts to coordinate all scheduled repairs and maintenance with Tenant so as to minimize interference with Tenant’s operations and, where the cessation or interruption of such service has occurred due to circumstances or conditions beyond the boundaries of the Land, to cause the same to be restored by diligent application or request to the provider. Landlord shall (at Tenant’s sole cost and expense) use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Tenant with the ability to run temporary services for Critical Areas during such shutdowns. Except as provided in Section 6.07A hereof, Landlord shall not have liability to Tenant therefor and no diminution or abatement of rent or other compensation shall or will be claimed by Tenant as a result thereof, nor shall this Lease or any of the obligations of Tenant be affected or reduced by reason of such interruption, curtailment or suspension.
B.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Landlord acknowledges that Tenant has advised Landlord of the critical nature of maintaining uninterrupted operation of Tenant's operations and agrees to cooperate in all reasonable respects, at the sole cost and expense of Tenant, with Tenant's reasonable procedures with respect to the Critical Systems, provided such procedures do not violate the terms of any of the Superior Instruments, DUO or this Lease or interfere (by more than a de minimis extent) with other tenants or occupants of the Building, upon reasonable prior notice from Tenant specifying the work to be done, Landlord will use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Tenant, at the sole cost and expense of Tenant, in the design and support of the Critical Systems which shall be, to the extent practical in accordance with good construction practices, isolated from both Landlord's and any other tenant's infrastructure and services. In order to insure Tenant's uninterrupted use of the Critical Systems, Landlord further agrees to provide at least ten (10) Business Days’ notice (except in an emergency) to Tenant prior to scheduling a maintenance activity on any Critical System for which Landlord has a maintenance obligation hereunder (if any). Tenant will use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with any such Landlord request. However, if Tenant cannot accommodate the proposed date due to commercially reasonable and legitimate business requirements of Tenant, Landlord will cooperate in all reasonable respects to reschedule the work in accordance with the availability of Tenant and any incremental costs incurred by Landlord on account of such rescheduling (without duplication) shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord as additional rent within thirty (30) days after demand.
110
C.
Landlord shall only grant other tenants or occupants of the Unit the right to access or enter any area that impacts the operation of any Critical Systems if (i) Landlord provides Tenant with reasonable prior notice thereof and (ii) Landlord permits Tenant to have a representative of Tenant present at all times during such access subject to and in accordance with the applicable provisions of Section 10.04 hereof regarding Tenant representatives. Landlord shall provide at least ten (10) Business Days’ notice prior to scheduling a maintenance activity for another tenant or occupant of the Unit which affects a Critical System (except in the event of any emergency involving an imminent threat to persons or property, in which event Landlord shall give such notice as is reasonably practicable under the circumstances). Tenant will use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with any such Landlord request. However, if Tenant cannot accommodate the proposed date due to commercially reasonably and legitimate business requirements of Tenant (except in the event of such an emergency), Landlord will cooperate in all reasonable respects to reschedule the work in accordance with the availability of Tenant and any incremental costs incurred by Landlord or such tenant or occupant on account of such rescheduling (without duplication) shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord (or such tenant or occupant) within thirty (30) days after demand.
D.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, upon and subject to all of the applicable terms of this Lease, shall have sole control over the Critical Systems, including, without limitation, in connection with the operation, maintenance, repair and replacement thereof.

Landlord agrees that the shafts in which such conduits and sleeves are contained shall be located in such a manner so that the same shall run separate in discrete paths from the service entry room located in the cellar of the Building to the base Building telecom riser closets located in the Initial Office Space. Landlord represents that the shafts and risers referred to in this Section 6.03A shall be free of any Hazardous Materials other than Operational Hazardous Materials permitted under applicable Environmental Laws. Tenant shall have the right, subject to the provisions of this Lease (including without limitation Article 13 hereof), to install one (1) additional four inch (4”) conduit running from a service entry room located in the cellar of the Building to the Demised Premises through a base Building riser, provided that in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, space in such base Building riser can be made available taking into account the future needs of existing and future occupants of space in the Unit or the Building. To the extent any conduit permitted to be utilized by Tenant shall be run horizontally, the same shall be run in locations reasonably designated by Landlord. Any conduits or sleeves allocated to or permitted to be installed by Tenant in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.03A are referred to herein as “Tenant’s Conduit.”
B.
Landlord shall permit the cable television company serving the area in which the Building is located to provide (at Tenant’s sole cost and expense) cable television
111
service to all floors of the Demised Premises using Tenant’s Conduit only. At no additional cost to Tenant, Landlord shall permit Tenant to access (or its outside service provider to access) Tenant’s Conduit as reasonably required in connection with outside communication services required by Tenant and approved by Landlord (it being agreed that Verizon, AT&T, Global Crossing and Sprint are hereby approved by Landlord), but Tenant shall be permitted to utilize any outside communication services (provided the service provider is not a Prohibited Entity) selected by Tenant. All Tenant’s communication equipment, switches, etc. (as opposed to the suppliers’ equipment, switches, etc.) shall be located in the Demised Premises.

6.04
A.
If Tenant shall require Base HVAC System service at any time other than during Business Hours on Business Days or other than on Saturdays from 9:00 A.M. to 1:00 P.M. (herein, “After-hours Service”), then Tenant shall give Landlord notice of such requirement by 3:00 p.m. on the day such After-hours Service is required and, by 3:00 p.m. of the last preceding Business Day if such requirement shall be with respect to a day other than a Business Day, and Landlord shall furnish such After-hours Service at such times. Tenant agrees to pay Landlord’s then actual cost of labor and utilities (as measured by one or more B.T.U. meter(s) or other similar means of measurement) to furnish such After-hours Service on a cost per ton per hour basis, as Additional Rent within thirty (30) days of demand; provided, however, that if any other tenants or occupants shall also require After-hours Service during such non-Business Hours, then Landlord’s actual labor costs in connection therewith, to the extent attributable to multiple users, shall be equitably apportioned between Tenant and such other tenants and occupants.
B.
Provided that they continue to be Affiliates of Original Tenant at the time the applicable request is made, as an accommodation to Tenant, Landlord agrees that WAM and/or ClearBridge may deal directly with Landlord (and/or the manager of the Unit) with respect to repairs, maintenance, xxxxxx activities, After-hours Service and the like within the Premises. Notwithstanding any such accommodation, (i) Tenant shall remain liable for the payment of all such services in accordance with the terms of this Lease, (ii) the performance or providing of such work or services directly to WAM or ClearBridge shall not create, or be deemed to create, a lease or rights of tenancy in WAM or ClearBridge, any privity of estate or contract between Landlord and WAM or ClearBridge, nor modify, abrogate or change Tenant’s agreements or obligations under this Lease and (iii) neither the payment or acceptance of any sums from WAM and/or ClearBridge nor any other dealings between Landlord and WAM and/or ClearBridge pursuant to this Section 6.04B or otherwise shall constitute or be deemed to be an assignment of this Lease or a subletting of all or any part of the Premises.
6.05
A.
Landlord agrees that Tenant may install, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense (but subject to reimbursement from Landlord’s Contribution subject to and in accordance with Article 36 but only to the extent such installation is part of Tenant’s Initial Work) in accordance with, and subject to, the applicable provisions of this Lease (including, without limitation, Article 13 hereof) an additional heating, ventilating and air-conditioning
112
system (hereinafter referred to as the “Supplemental HVAC System”). The costs of installation (including, without limitation, connection to any chilled water source), maintenance and operation of the Supplemental HVAC System shall be borne by Tenant, and Tenant shall be responsible for the design and installation of its own chilled water pumps, capable of delivering the required flow to Tenant’s equipment, which design, if the Supplemental HVAC System is part of Tenant’s Initial Work, shall be set forth and reflected in the Final Working Drawings. All facilities, equipment, machinery and ducts installed by Tenant in connection with the Supplemental HVAC System shall be subject to Landlord’s prior approval, which approval shall be granted or withheld in accordance with the provisions of Article 13 hereof. Except as provided in Section 6.07A hereof, Landlord shall not have liability to Tenant or responsibility whatsoever for any interruption in service of the Supplemental HVAC System (if any) for any cause whatsoever, nor shall the same constitute an actual or constructive eviction. Tenant agrees to cooperate fully with Landlord and to abide by all reasonable regulations and requirements which Landlord may prescribe in accordance with Article 26 hereof for the proper connection, functioning and protection of the Supplemental HVAC System. In connection with any Supplemental HVAC System intended to be installed by Tenant as provided herein, Landlord agrees to reserve fifteen (15) tons of chilled water capacity for each full floor of the Office Space for Tenant’s use (the “Reserved Chilled Water Capacity”) until December 31, 2008 (the “Outside Reserve Date”). If Tenant requires chilled water capacity in excess of the Reserved Chilled Water Capacity for any Supplemental HVAC System after the Outside Reserve Date and the same is then available in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, taking into account the reasonable future needs of existing and future occupants of space in the Building (whether or not such space is then vacant) as well as Landlord’s existing and future reasonable needs in the operation of the Building, Landlord agrees, upon request of Tenant (and provided Tenant is not then in monetary default or material non-monetary default, under this Lease, in each instance, beyond the expiration of any applicable notice and/or cure period), Landlord will make such tonnage of additional chilled water as may be reasonably necessary for such Supplemental HVAC System. Notwithstanding the previous two (2) sentences, if Tenant fails to use such Reserved Chilled Water Capacity (or any part thereof) by the Outside Reserve Date or any additional chilled water (or any part thereof) within one (1) year after Landlord has made the same available to Tenant as aforesaid, Tenant shall have no further right to use any portion of the Reserved Chilled Water Capacity or such additional chilled water not so used by Tenant (unless Tenant again complies with the procedures in the previous sentence). Tenant’s use of any chilled water for any Supplemental HVAC System shall be measured by B.T.U. Meters specified by Landlord and procured, installed by Tenant at Tenant’s sole cost and expense and maintained by Landlord at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, at a location and having a tap approved by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. There shall be no tap-in connectivity fee in connection with Tenant’s use of the chilled water referred to in this Section 6.05A. Any chilled water utilized by Tenant pursuant to this Section 6.05A shall, subject to the provisions of Section 6.02 hereof, be available twenty four (24) hours per day, seven (7) days per week. Tenant shall pay for the chilled water as shown on such meters based on Landlord’s actual cost of providing the chilled water without administrative markup or premium, inclusive of Tenant’s share of Landlord’s actual labor costs in connection therewith if such chilled water is consumed after-hours. If, after the date of this Lease, the actual cost to Landlord of furnishing chilled water for such Supplemental HVAC System shall be increased, then the aforesaid cost to Tenant shall be increased to fairly reflect the amount of the actual increases in cost incurred by Landlord (without administrative markup or premium).
113
B.
(i)
Tenant shall have the right (the “Supplemental Cooling System Right”), subject to Article 13 hereof and the provisions of this Section 6.05B, to install as a Tenant Change and operate, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, an additional cooling system for the exclusive use of the Office Space (hereinafter referred to as the “Supplemental Cooling System”). The Supplemental Cooling System Right shall be exercisable by notice from Tenant to Landlord (including in such notice the proposed size and output capacity of the chiller units desired by Tenant) not later than December 1, 2006. In the event that Tenant does not timely exercise the Supplemental Cooling System Right, the provisions of this Section 6.05B shall be null and void and of no force or effect. The costs of installation (including connection to any chilled water source), maintenance and operation of the Supplemental Cooling System shall be borne by Tenant, and Tenant shall be responsible for the design and installation of all chilled water pumps, capable of delivering the desired flow to Tenant’s equipment. All chiller units (including the size and capacity thereof) and all other equipment, machinery and ducts installed by Tenant in connection with the Supplemental Cooling System shall be subject to Landlord’s prior approval, which approval shall be granted or withheld in accordance with the provisions of Article 13 hereof. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Landlord has made no warranties or representations as to the conditions or suitability of the Supplemental Cooling System Area or of the roof of the Building for the installation, use, maintenance or operation of the Supplemental Cooling System and Tenant agrees to accept use of the Supplemental Cooling System Area in its then “as is” condition and without any work or alterations required to be made by Landlord.
(ii)

114
shall not have liability to Tenant on account thereof, (c) Tenant shall promptly repair any damage caused to any portion of the Building by reason of such installation, including, without limitation, any repairs, restoration, maintenance, renewal or replacement thereof necessitated by or in any way caused by or relating to such installation, and (d) such installation shall be designed in such a manner that it does not void any guaranty or warranty that is then in effect for the roof of the Building; it being agreed that if any such installation or design voids any such guaranty or warranty Tenant shall be responsible for any reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by Landlord in connection therewith or as a result thereof.
(iv)
All necessary dunnage to support the Supplemental Cooling System in the Supplemental Cooling System Area shall be installed by Landlord (or, at Landlord’s election, Tenant) and Tenant shall be responsible for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by Landlord in connection therewith. Any access to the roof by Tenant, other Tenant Party, and/or Tenant’s contractors, agents or employees to install, service, repair or maintain the Supplemental Cooling System shall be subject to and in accordance with the limitations and requirements comparable to those set forth in Article 37 hereof relating to Tenant’s access to the roof in respect of an Antenna and the provisions hereof.
(v)
Any damage to the Building or to the personal property of Landlord, the Condominium of any other tenant or occupant of the Building arising as a result of any access by Tenant or any Tenant Party or any of their respective agents, employees, contractors, subcontractors or invitees permitted under this Section 6.05B shall be repaired and restored, by Landlord, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, to the condition existing prior to such access. With respect to any work outside the Premises, including the Supplemental Cooling System Area, Landlord may provide project management and such security as Landlord shall deem reasonably necessary, and, in either case, Tenant, within thirty (30) days of demand, shall reimburse Landlord for any reasonable out-of pocket costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection therewith.
(vi)
Tenant shall obtain and maintain with respect to the Supplemental Cooling System such liability and other insurance as Landlord may reasonably require (and the same shall be subject to the provisions of Article 16 applicable to Tenant’s commercial general liability insurance in respect of the Premises).
(vii)
Tenant shall comply with all Legal Requirements and Insurance Requirements applicable to the Supplemental Cooling System and the Supplemental Cooling System Area. Tenant shall obtain and maintain, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, all licenses and permits required for the installation, maintenance, replacement and operation of the Supplemental Cooling System. Landlord agrees to cooperate with Tenant in connection with the obtaining and maintaining by Tenant of all such licenses and permits, provided that Tenant shall pay as Additional Rent all reasonable out-of-pocket third party costs incurred by Landlord in connection with such cooperation.
115
(viii)
Except if caused by Landlord’s negligence or willful misconduct and subject to the provisions of Section 16.07 hereof, Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord and Landlord Parties harmless from any loss, damage, claim or expense arising out of Tenant’s installation, use or operation of the Supplemental Cooling System.
(ix)
Tenant acknowledges that the equipment for the Supplemental Cooling System shall not be Permitted FF&E Property.
(x)
Tenant shall not sell any services arising out of the use of the Supplemental Cooing System or any capacity thereof to (a) any other tenant or occupant of the Building (except that Tenant may permit, with Landlord’s consent (not to be unreasonably withheld), any permitted subtenant of the Premises to use all or part of the Supplemental Cooling System provided that Tenant does not directly or indirectly charge such permitted subtenant for the same) or (b) the general public. The rights granted in this Section 6.05B are given in connection with, and as part of the rights created under, this Lease and are not separately transferable or assignable.
6.06
Subject to the provisions of Articles 11 and 13 hereof and to the security and/or access control requirements of NYTC or the Condominium Board in the Building, Tenant shall have the right to use the interior fire stairs between contiguous full floors of the Office Space then occupied by Tenant in the Unit in order to obtain access to such full contiguous floors and between the 50th floor and the Tenant’s Roof Top Space in a stairwell designated by Landlord in order to gain access to Tenant’s Roof Top Space. In using said stairs and in preparing the same for use by Tenant, Tenant shall be responsible for all costs and expenses in connection therewith (including any increase in Landlord’s insurance costs resulting from Tenant’s use thereof and any additional costs to Landlord resulting from the need to install, maintain and provide electricity to continuous lighting fixtures serving the fire stairs) and shall comply with the terms of this Lease and all applicable Legal Requirement and Insurance Requirements. If Tenant so utilizes the fire stairs, Tenant shall maintain at its sole cost and expense such portions of the fire stairs on the floors on which the Demised Premises are located, including without limitation, the periodic painting and cleaning thereof in a manner commensurate of a Comparable Building. Tenant shall not use the stairs so as to interfere with the rights of other tenants or occupants in the Building. Tenant shall have the right to paint and generally decorate (but not carpet) said stairs provided same does not violate any Legal Requirements and/or Insurance Requirements and does not increase Landlord’s insurance costs unless Tenant agrees to pay such increased costs. In connection with any use of such fire stairs therewith and subject to the terms of Article 13 hereof, Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense shall (a) install and regularly maintain a security and access control system in the stairway to prevent unauthorized access of the fire stairs from the Demised Premises and to identify potential emergencies therein that are satisfactory to Landlord in its sole but good faith discretion (including, without limitation, the installation of additional fire safety equipment and video and other surveillance equipment), (b) provide Landlord with at least three (3) card keys to any such security system and update such card keys, at no cost or expense to Landlord, from time to time, if such update is necessary in order to permit such card keys to be operable and (c) tie such system into the Building’s Class E system, Building management system and such other
116
Building systems as Landlord may reasonably require. In no event shall Tenant be permitted to store any equipment, furniture, storage boxes or any other personal property whatsoever in any fire stairs of the Building. Tenant acknowledges that any alterations required to tie such security system into the fire safety system of the Building shall be performed by Landlord’s fire safety contractor, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, provided the costs charged by such fire safety contractor are at commercially competitive rates charged to owners of Comparable Buildings in the Times Square area. Subject to Landlord’s approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, Tenant shall have the right, at its sole cost and expense, to cosmetically improve the surface areas located within the stairwell area (but not carpet) permitted to be used by Tenant, provided that Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, shall be obligated at the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease, to restore such area to the then building standard condition. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant acknowledges that Landlord has made no representation or warranty as to whether Tenant’s use of any stairwell area as contemplated hereunder is permitted under applicable Legal Requirements and/or Insurance Requirements. In no event shall any portion of Landlord’s Contribution be permitted to be used for any alterations permitted under this Section 6.06. In the event that Tenant is not permitted to use any stairwell area for any reason whatsoever Landlord shall not have liability to Tenant therefor.
6.07
A.
In case (i) any portion of the Premises (an “Affected Portion”) is rendered Untenantable by reason of a default by Landlord in the performance of its obligations to deliver Landlord Services as required hereunder or the performance of any repairs or replacements required to be made by Landlord under this Lease or any other reason except as hereinafter provided or except as a result of Tenant’s negligence or willful misconduct, and (ii) Tenant is compelled thereby to discontinue, and has so discontinued, the conduct of its business in the normal course thereof in the Affected Portion and vacated the Affected Portion for at least five (5) consecutive Business Days (or five (5) Business Days in any ten (10) Business Day period) after Tenant notifies Landlord, WITH EXPRESS REFERENCE TO THE ABATEMENT PROVIDED FOR IN THIS SECTION 6.07, of the condition giving rise to such Untenantability and discontinuation of the conduct of its business (in reasonable detail), then, but only then, in respect of any Affected Portion of the Premises as to which all of the foregoing conditions of this Section 6.07A shall have been satisfied (such Affected Portion being the “Untenantable Space”), all Rent with respect to only the Untenantable Space shall be abated from the date the Untenantable Space became Untenantable and Tenant ceased conducting its business in the normal course thereof in the Untenantable Space and vacated the Untenantable Space until the earlier to occur of the date (1) Tenant once again commences operation of its business in the Untenantable Space or (2) one (1) Business Day after notice from Landlord to Tenant that the Untenantable Space once again became Tenantable (provided such notice is factually correct), in each case in the same proportion that the Untenantable Space bears to the entire Premises. For the purposes of this Lease, “Untenantable” shall mean that the Affected Portion is unusable for general office purposes and “Tenantable” shall mean that the Affected Portion is usable for general office purposes. The entry by representatives of Tenant to the Affected Portion on a limited basis solely to retrieve files and documents or to maintain equipment in the Premises and not for the conduct of business shall not by itself be deemed to be the commencement of operation of Tenant’s business in the normal course thereof within the meaning of clause (1) above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, there shall be no such abatement to the extent that the Affected Portion is Untenantable due to any failure of the utility company, municipality or other service provider to supply electricity, gas or water (A) on an area wide
117
basis for any reason or cause whatsoever (versus a Building specific basis) or (B) to the Building specifically if due to the negligence, willful misconduct or intentional acts of the utility company, municipality or other service provider.
B.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the occurrence of a condition that renders the Premises Untenantable shall not be deemed a breach of any obligation of Landlord hereunder to repair the Premises or the Building (or any portion thereof) except if the same shall have arisen as a result of Landlord’s failure to perform another obligation of Landlord under this Lease promptly after becoming aware of the need therefor and if Landlord thereafter fails to make such repair with reasonable diligence and dispatch.
C.
In no event shall this Section 6.07 be applicable to a casualty or condemnation, which shall be governed by Articles 17 and 18 hereof.
6.08
Subject to any Building security procedures and access control, Force Majeure, the applicable Rules and Regulations and the other provisions of this Lease, Tenant shall be permitted to have access to the Demised Premises twenty four (24) hours a day, seven (7) days a week (unless prohibited by applicable Legal Requirements and/or Insurance Requirements). Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to Force Majeure and compliance with applicable Legal Requirements and/or Insurance Requirements (but not to any Building security procedures and access control or applicable Rules and Regulations), employees of Tenant shall be permitted to solely access the Data Center in the event of an emergency, provided that (a) Tenant irrevocably waives and releases (and Tenant and Tenant Parties each do hereby irrevocably waive and release) Landlord, Landlord Parties and the Superior Parties from any and all costs (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements), claims, liabilities, damages or expenses (direct, indirect, consequential or otherwise) which Tenant, its Affiliates and/or any other Tenant Party may sustain or incur by reason of such access (other than any cost, claim, liability, damage or expense arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord and/or any of its employees) and (b) Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord, Landlord Parties and the Superior Parties harmless from and against any and all costs, claims, liabilities, damages and/or or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by Landlord, Landlord Parties and/or the Superior Parties in connection with such access, including any claims with respect to bodily injury, personal injury and/or property damage.
6.09
In connection with any After-hours Service or any other overtime or premium pay service requested by Tenant under this Lease that Landlord agrees to perform (it being agreed that Landlord shall have no obligations to so agree if Tenant is then in monetary or material non-monetary default under this Lease, in each instance, beyond the expiration of any applicable notice and/or cure period), Tenant acknowledges that (a) Landlord’s employees may be able to perform such work or repairs at no additional cost to Landlord during Business Hours on Business Days and (b) the cost of any overtime or premium pay service costs shall include any additional out-of-pocket costs incurred by Landlord on account of the terms of any applicable union employees contract, including, but not limited to, any required minimum shift time pursuant to the applicable union contract (by way of example only, if Tenant requests that a particular item of work or repair be performed by Landlord on an overtime basis, such work or repair shall require two (2) hours of labor, and such applicable union employees contract requires a minimum overtime shift of four (4) hours, Tenant shall be required to pay for the cost of such
118
employee(s) for the entire four (4) hours, despite the fact that such work or repair shall only require two (2) hours of labor).
7.01
A.
Subject to the other provisions of this Article 7 and Section 13.15 hereof regarding electrical service during the performance of Tenant’s Initial Work, Landlord shall furnish to the Demised Premises through the transmission facilities to be installed by Landlord in the Unit substantially in accordance with the Base Building Criteria, alternating electric current in an amount equal to (i) six (6) xxxxx actual demand load per gross square foot (based on each floor of the Office Space containing 26,000 gross square feet), exclusive of electric required to operate the Base Systems (including, without limitation, the Base HVAC System) on all floors of the Office Space (the “Office Space Electrical Capacity”); Landlord hereby agreeing to provide Tenant with an additional two (2) xxxxx actual demand per gross square foot in the Office Space (the “Additional Office Space Electrical Capacity”), at no additional cost to Tenant (other than payment of Electricity Additional Rent on account thereof), should Tenant demonstrate to the reasonable satisfaction of Landlord of Tenant’s need, at the time of Tenant’s request, for the Additional Office Space Electrical Capacity, (ii) six (6) xxxxx actual demand load per useable square foot of the Enclosed Roof Top Space, exclusive of electric required to operate the Base Systems (including, without limitation, the Base HVAC System), if any, for Tenant’s Roof Top Space (the “RTS Electrical Capacity”), (iii) the Storage Space Electrical Capacity for the Storage Space and (iv) if leased by Tenant hereunder, the 51st Floor Space Electrical Capacity for the 51st Floor Space. The electric current for the Office Space, Tenant’s Roof Top Space and, if leased by Tenant hereunder, the 51st Floor Space shall be measured by one or more “Quad Logic” meters (or other comparable revenue grade meters) with coincident demand and shall be billed as if there was only one (1) meter, which meters shall be (A) installed (at Landlord’s sole cost and expense) at such location or locations as Landlord shall reasonably select or as is otherwise shown on Tenant’s Final Working Drawings or the RTS Final CDs, as the case may be, and (B) maintained by Landlord (the cost of which, as it relates to Tenant’s Roof Top Space and, if leased by Tenant hereunder, the 51st Floor Space, shall be included in the RTS Operating Expenses). Tenant shall pay to Landlord within thirty (30) days after delivery to Tenant of an invoice therefor on account of Tenant’s electrical consumption in the Office Space, Tenant’s Roof Top Space and, if leased by Tenant hereunder, the 51st Floor Space (which amount shall be computed by applying Tenant’s kw and kwh (on and off-peak, if applicable) to the Electric Rates paid by Landlord, (without any premium or administrative markup), plus any reasonable third party fees associated with the reading of meters and production of bills (the “Electricity Additional Rent”). Landlord and its agents shall, upon prior reasonable notice (except in the event of an emergency), be permitted access to the electric closets and the meters during normal Business Hours to maintain and repair the same and make necessary readings thereof. Tenant shall have the right to increase the amount of electric power being drawn from the xxxx duct on any full floor within the Office Space, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, provided the total amount of power allotted to the Office Space is not increased. At such time as Tenant shall surrender any floor to Landlord as provided hereunder (including in connection with any Recapture Transaction) or on the Expiration Date, Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, shall reinstate all electric capacity on such floor as may have been reallocated
119
or otherwise decreased as a result of any Tenant’s use thereof such that the electric capacity serving any such floor is not less than the electrical capacity for such floor on the date such floor was delivered to Tenant; provided, however, Tenant shall have no obligation to remove Tenant’s electrical distribution system within the Demised Premises (including, but not limited, to xxxx taps, transformers and panels) in connection therewith.
B.
Subject to the provisions of Section 7.05 hereof, electricity shall be provided to the Storage Space on a so called “rent inclusion” basis. Tenant agrees that portion of the Fixed Rent set forth in Article 3 above with respect to the Storage Space, presently has attributed to the furnishing of electric current to the Storage Space the annual sum of $1.50 per usable square foot of the Storage Space, subject to a compounded 5.5% increase during the Second Rent Period, Third Rent Period and the Fourth Rent Period.
7.02
Tenant’s use of electrical energy shall never exceed the electrical capacity of the then existing feeders to the Building or the then existing risers or wiring installation serving the Demised Premises without Landlord’s prior written approval. Tenant understands that if the demand load exceeds the Office Space Electrical Capacity (not including any Additional Office Space Electrical Capacity) on any floor that the Base HVAC System will not be able to perform within the Base HVAC Specifications. If Tenant requires additional electrical capacity to the Office Space in excess of the Office Space Electrical Capacity and the Additional Office Space Electrical Capacity, subject to the terms hereinafter set forth, Landlord shall provide the same to Tenant to the extent it exists within the capacities of the Building’s xxxx duct system and is not committed to any Building System requirement or tenant under an existing lease obligation or reasonably desired to be reserved by Landlord (taking into account the future needs of existing and future occupants of space in the Unit or the Building [whether or not such space is then vacant] or Landlord’s existing and future reasonable needs in connection with the operation of the Unit), provided, that if such additional electrical capacity is not available on the Building’s xxxx duct system and Tenant’s requirements necessitate installation of an additional riser, risers or other proper and necessary equipment, any additional risers or risers required by Tenant to supply Tenant’s electrical requirements in excess of the Electrical Capacity and all other equipment proper and necessary in connection therewith, upon request of Tenant, will, subject to the limitations hereinafter set forth, be installed by Landlord, at Tenant’s cost and expense, based on the proportion which the additional electricity furnished to Tenant bears to the total electric capacity of such additional riser, risers or other equipment (the work required therefor to be Competitively Bid), if, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, the same are necessary and will not cause or create a hazardous condition, unreasonably excessive or unreasonable alterations, repairs or expense or interfere (by more than a de minimis extent) with or disturb other tenants (taking into account the future needs of existing and future occupants of space in the Unit or the Building [whether or not such space is then vacant] or Landlord’s existing and future reasonable needs in the operation of the Unit) or cause damage or injury to the Unit, the Common Elements or the Building. In order that personal safety and property of Landlord and the tenants and occupants of the Demised Premises, the Unit, the Common Elements, the Improvements and the Real Property may not be imperiled by the overtaxing of the capacity of the electrical distribution system of the Demised Premises, the Unit, the Common Elements, the Improvements or the Building, and to avert possible adverse effect upon the Building’s electrical system, Tenant shall not make or perform or permit any changes in or alterations to wiring installations or other electrical facilities in or serving the Demised Premises (as such installations
120
or facilities shall be indicated by the final electrical plans shown on the Final Drawings for Tenant’s Initial Work or the RTS Final CDs in respect of the RTS Build-out Work) except in accordance with Article 13 hereof. Any such alterations or changes performed by Tenant shall be in compliance with the terms of this Lease, all applicable Legal Requirements and/or Insurance Requirements. Should Landlord grant such consent to the extent required hereunder, all additional risers, or other modifications to base Building equipment required therefor shall be provided by Landlord and the reasonable out-of-pocket cost thereof shall be paid by Tenant as Additional Rent within thirty (30) days after being billed therefor. Landlord’s approval of any electrical alterations or changes shall not be deemed a representation that the same comply with applicable Legal Requirements and/or Insurance Requirements. In addition to Landlord’s rights under Section 7.01B hereof, Landlord, its agents and engineers and consultants may survey Tenant’s electrical consumption from time to time during Business Hours upon reasonable prior notice (except during an emergency, in which event no prior notice shall be required), at Landlord’s expense, to determine whether Tenant is complying with its obligations under this Article unless such survey shows that Tenant has exceeded its permitted Electrical Capacity hereunder, in which event Tenant shall be responsible for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection therewith.
7.03
A.
Except as provided in Section 6.07A hereof, Landlord shall not have liability to Tenant for any loss, damage or expense which Tenant may sustain or incur by reason of any change, failure, inadequacy or defect in the supply or character of any of the electrical energy furnished to the Demised Premises or if the quantity or character of the electrical energy is no longer available or suitable for Tenant’s requirements.
B.
Subject to the provisions of Section 6.02 hereof, Landlord or any Condominium Board shall have the right on not less than ten (10) Business Days’ prior notice to Tenant (except that (i) in the event of an emergency, in which event no prior notice shall be required and (ii) prior to the Occupancy Date, Landlord shall only be required to give such commercially reasonable prior notice that is customary in accordance with good construction practices but not less than two (2) Business Days) to “shut down” electrical energy to the Demised Premises when necessitated by the need for repairs, alterations, connections or reconnections, with respect to the electrical system serving the Building, the Unit and/or the Common Elements (singularly or collectively, “Electrical Work”), regardless of whether the need for such Electrical Work arises in respect of the Demised Premises, any other tenant space, or any space in the Building, the Unit, the Common Elements and/or the Building common areas. After the Occupancy Date, Landlord may not, however, shut down Tenant’s electrical energy for such Electrical Work during Business Hours unless such Electrical Work shall be required because of an emergency or required by the utility company or alternate service provider providing electrical energy to the Building. Except as provided in Section 6.07A hereof, Landlord shall not have liability to Tenant for any loss, damage, or expense which Tenant may sustain due to such “shut down” or Electrical Work. Subject to Legal Requirements and Section 10.04 hereof, Landlord shall (i) attempt to shut down not more than one-half (½) of a floor of the Premises due to Electrical Work at any one time, (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to restore power to the Demised Premises as soon as reasonably possible, and (iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to coordinate all scheduled shut downs with Tenant.
121
7.04
The term “Electric Rates” shall be deemed to mean the actual rates at which Landlord purchases electrical energy from the public utility, alternative service provider, or any other Person supplying electrical service to the Building, including any discounts, surcharges or charges incurred, or utility taxes or sales taxes or other taxes payable by or imposed upon Landlord in connection therewith, or increase thereof by reason of fuel adjustment or any substitutions for such Electric Rates. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that they understand that the electric rates, charges, taxes and other costs may be changed by virtue of peak demand, time of day rates, or other methods of billing, and that the foregoing reference to changes in methods or rules of billing is intended to include any such change; provided, however, if any change which results in an increase in the Electric Rate is due to the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or any other tenant in the Building, such increase shall not be charged to Tenant in the Electric Rates.
7.05
Subject to clause (a) of this Section 7.05, Landlord reserves the right to terminate the furnishing of electrical energy at any time, upon at least thirty (30) days’ notice (provided that such longer notice as is reasonably feasible under the circumstances shall be given) to Tenant unless a shorter period of notice is required or necessitated by Legal Requirements but Landlord shall exercise such right only if required to do so by applicable Legal Requirements or the Condominium Documents. If Landlord shall so discontinue the furnishing of electrical energy, (a) Tenant shall arrange to obtain electrical energy directly from the public utility company or other service provider then furnishing electrical energy to the Building and, unless required by such Legal Requirements and/or Insurance Requirements, Landlord shall not terminate such service until Tenant shall have obtained such direct service, (b) Landlord shall permit the existing feeders, risers, wiring and other electrical facilities serving the Demised Premises to be used by Tenant for such purpose, (c) from and after the effective date of such discontinuance (i) Landlord shall not be obligated to furnish electric energy to Tenant and (ii) the portion of the Fixed Rent for the Storage Space payable by Tenant shall be reduced by the amount then payable by Tenant on account of the furnishing of electricity to the Storage Space on a rent inclusion basis, (d) subject to the terms hereof, Landlord shall not have liability to Tenant on account of such discontinuance and (e) Tenant shall install and maintain at locations in the Building reasonably selected by Landlord any necessary electrical meter equipment, panel boards, feeders, risers, wiring and other conductors and equipment which may be required to obtain electrical energy directly from the public utility or other service provider supplying the same including all equipment necessary to supply such power to the existing electric closets on each floor of the Demised Premises, pursuant to clause (b) above; it being agreed that the reasonable out-of-pocket cost of any such installation shall be shared equally between Landlord and Tenant.
7.06
In the event that any tax shall be imposed upon Landlord’s receipts from the sale, use or resale of electrical energy to Tenant, the pro rata share allocable to the electrical energy service received by Tenant shall be passed onto, included in the xxxx of, and paid by Tenant if and to the extent not prohibited by applicable Legal Requirements.
7.07
Tenant may, at Tenant’s option, furnish and install all replacement lighting, tubes, lamps, starters, bulbs and ballasts required in the Demised Premises at Tenant’s sole cost and expense using Tenant’s employees (but not any outside contractor) provided such lighting complies with the Design Guidelines. Upon Tenant’s request, Landlord shall furnish
122
and install all replacement lighting, tubes, lamps, starters, bulbs and ballasts required in the Demised Premises and Tenant shall pay to Landlord (or its designated contractor) Landlord’s reasonable, actual out-of-pocket charges therefor, provided such costs are commercially competitive, as Additional Rent within thirty (30) days after demand for such furnishing and installation in accordance with the Design Guidelines.
7.08
Tenant may, from time to time (but in no event more than once every calendar year), request that Landlord check the accuracy of the electric meter(s) or submeter(s) servicing the Demised Premises. Promptly after receipt of any such request from Tenant, Landlord shall engage the services of an independent testing agency/lab reasonably acceptable to Tenant. If the results shall disclose that the meters/submeters (or any of them) shall be inaccurate by more than five percent (5%), Landlord shall pay the cost of checking the accuracy of such meter(s) and those meters shall be repaired or replaced by Landlord, at its cost and expense and, in all other instances Tenant shall be responsible for such costs. Landlord and Tenant shall make a retroactive adjustment of the Electricity Additional Rent which has been made based on such inaccurate meters/submeters (regardless of whether the inaccuracy is more or less than 5%) for a period not to exceed the immediately preceding calendar year plus the number of months until Landlord has made such repair or replacement. In the event that Tenant does not request that Landlord check the accuracy of the meter/submeters (or any of them) within one hundred twenty (120) days following the end of any calendar year during the Term, the Electricity Additional Rent for such calendar year shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties.
7.09
A.
Landlord hereby agrees to cooperate with any reasonable request by Tenant (herein called “Landlord’s Benefits Cooperation”) to assist Tenant in obtaining any tax, utility and other benefits (herein collectively called “Benefits”) as may be available to Tenant from any governmental agency or any public utility or alternate provider, upon reasonable prior notice from Tenant in accordance with the time periods established by such agency, utility or provider. Landlord shall provide Landlord’s Benefits Cooperation to Tenant regardless of whether Tenant may be entitled to such Benefits “as of right,” provided that the receipt by Tenant of such Benefits would not reduce or otherwise adversely affect the eligibility of Landlord to receive any incentives, subsidies, refunds or payments. Nothing contained herein shall require Landlord to cooperate with Tenant with respect to any Benefits to the detriment of any other tenant in the Building, provided that with respect to Landlord’s cooperation with tenants related to Benefits, Landlord’s cooperation shall be provided on a first-come first-served basis.
B.
As part of Landlord’s Benefits Cooperation, subject to the provisions of this Section 7.09, if Tenant qualifies for any Benefits, then Landlord shall join and/or otherwise cooperate with Tenant in the filing and processing of Benefits applications with local governmental agencies and/or public utilities and, at Tenant’s request, in arranging a procedure whereby the benefits or incentives obtained therefrom by Landlord, to the extent the same relate solely to the Demised Premises and Tenant’s receipt of electricity with respect thereto, shall be passed on to Tenant through a reduction in monthly utility bills issued by Landlord and delivered to Tenant hereunder.
123
C.
Nothing contained in this Section 7.09 shall be deemed in any event to require Landlord, in order to establish Tenant’s eligibility for any Benefits, to (i) effect any change in the ownership of the Building or the Unit, (ii) agree to a change in the structure of this Lease, (iii) perform or incur any costs for any alterations or improvements to the Premises, the Building, the Unit or the Common Elements or any part thereof, except to the extent specifically required pursuant to the terms of this Lease, or (iv) change the manner in which Landlord operates the Unit or performs alterations or improvements therein.
D.
Tenant shall promptly pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent hereunder, the amount of any actual, out-of-pocket costs reasonably incurred by Landlord in connection with any Landlord’s Benefits Cooperation, including, without limitation, the amount of any administrative charges or fees imposed by the New York City Department of Finance or any other governmental agency or any public utility or alternate provider in connection with such Landlord’s Benefits Cooperation.
E.
Any Benefits obtained, to the extent the same relate solely to Tenant and/or the Demised Premises, shall be for the benefit of Tenant and shall be passed on to Tenant.
F.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, Landlord makes no representation or warranty as to the amount of any Benefits that may be received Tenant, if any, and Landlord shall not have liability to Tenant if Tenant fails to obtain any benefits

(ii)
Subject to the provisions of this Section 8.04A(ii), if Tenant sends a reminder notice to Landlord as aforesaid and Landlord fails to notify Tenant of its exercise of such option within the required time period, then, except as hereinafter provided, Landlord shall be deemed to have waived its Recapture Rights with respect to the Recapture Transaction described in the Recapture Availability Notice and, in such event (or if Landlord has expressly waived such Recapture Right), Tenant shall, subject to the terms of the next sentence, be free to attempt to assign this Lease or sublet the Recapture Space for a period of twelve (12) months.

In the event that Tenant fails to consummate a proposed assignment or subletting that was the subject of a Tenant’s Consent Request within twelve (12) months after submission thereof to Landlord then, if the transaction proposed in Tenant’s Consent Request (a) constitutes a Recapture Transaction, then the provisions of Section 8.04A hereof shall again apply and Tenant shall be required to submit a new Recapture Availability Notice (together with the information required to be delivered in connection therewith) if Tenant still desires to enter into a Recapture Transaction or (b) would not otherwise constitute a Recapture Transaction, then the provisions of Section 8.05A hereof shall again apply and Tenant shall be required to submit a new Tenant’s Consent Request (together with the information required to be delivered in connection therewith) if Tenant still desires to assign this Lease or sublease all or any part of the Premises.
G.
With respect to each any every sublease permitted under this Lease:
(i)
no subletting shall be for a term ending later than one day prior to the Stated Expiration Date, as that date may have been theretofore, or may thereafter be, extended in accordance with the terms of this Lease;
(ii)
no sublease shall be valid, and no subtenant shall take possession of the Demised Premises or any part thereof, until an executed counterpart of such sublease has been delivered to Landlord;
(iii)
in the case of a subletting which includes less than entire floor(s), Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall (A) make or cause to be made, at no expense to Landlord, such Tenant Changes as may be required or reasonably deemed necessary to provide reasonably appropriate means of ingress and egress from the sublet space (which means of ingress and egress shall conform to all applicable Legal Requirements and/or Insurance Requirements and all alterations relating thereto shall be subject to the provisions of Article 13 hereof), and (B) physically separate the sublet space (if Office Space) from the balance of the floor in such commercially reasonable manner that the configuration of the sublet space and the balance of the floor would not inhibit, in Landlord’s reasonable discretion, Landlord’s ability to independently lease the sublet space or the
136
balance of the floor to one (1) or more office tenants for general and executive office use; and
(iv)
subject to the provisions of any Subtenant SNDA, each sublease shall provide that it is subject and subordinate to this Lease and to the matters to which this Lease is or shall be subordinate, and that, in the event of termination, reentry or dispossess by Landlord under this Lease, Landlord may, at its option, either terminate such sublease or take over all of the right, title and interest of Tenant, as sublessor, under such sublease, 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 (a) be liable for any previous act, omission or negligence of sublandlord, (b) be subject to any counterclaim, defense or offset, (c) be bound by any modification or amendment of the sublease or by any prepayment of more than one month’s rent and additional rent which shall be payable as provided in such sublease, unless such modification or prepayment shall have been approved in writing by Landlord, or (d) be obligated to perform any repairs or other work in the subleased premises beyond Landlord’s obligations under this Lease.
8.06
Each sublease shall, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein (a) provide that the subtenant may not assign its rights thereunder or further sublet the space demised under the sublease, in whole or in part, and each assignment shall provide that the assignee may not further assign its rights under this Lease or sublet the Premises, in whole or in part, without Landlord’s consent (which shall be granted, withheld or not required subject to the same terms and conditions contained in this Article 8, as such would be applicable to a similar request by Tenant, including those relating to Exempt Transactions) and without complying with all of the terms and conditions of this Article 8 except that with respect to (i) an assignment of a sublease which is subject to a Subtenant SNDA, any assignment of such sublease shall be subject to Landlord’s consent not to be unreasonably withheld subject to the terms of this Article 8 and (ii) the third (3rd) tier down of any further subletting of a sublease shall not be permitted without Landlord’s consent and (b) contain (or incorporate by reference) provisions substantially the same as those contained in Sections 32.15, and 35.02 hereof. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, if any such sublease or sub-sublease is assigned or further sublet without the consent of Landlord in each instance obtained or without compliance with the provisions of this Article 8, Tenant shall immediately terminate such sublease or arrange for the termination thereof, and proceed expeditiously to have the occupant thereunder dispossessed. Landlord’s consent to any sublease or assignment shall not be deemed or construed to modify, amend or affect the terms and provisions of this Lease, or Tenant’s obligations hereunder, which shall continue to apply to the occupants thereof, as if the sublease or assignment had not been made.
8.07
A.
Subject to the provisions of this Section 8.07, if, with respect to any sublease of all or any part of the Premises (i) the aggregate of (a) the amounts paid in any calendar quarter during the term of such sublease as fixed rent and as additional rent (or other charges thereunder, including charges on account of electricity and Taxes and Operating Expenses) by the subtenant under such sublease and (b) the amount of any Other Sublease Consideration paid in such calendar quarter to Tenant by such subtenant (the amounts described in this clause (i) are called “Sublease Gross Receipts”) shall be in excess of (ii) Tenant’s Basic
137
Cost for the space demised by such sublease for such calendar quarter, then, for each such calendar quarter, Tenant (at the times and in the manner set forth in Section 8.07D below) shall (a) first retain from such excess an amount equal to Tenant’s Associated Cost (the “Retained Amount”) for such sublease as of the end of such calendar quarter and (b) second, divide the balance of such excess (the balance of such excess is called “Sublease Profits”), if any, in half, and retain one-half (½) for itself and pay, as Additional Rent, the other half (½) to Landlord except that Landlord shall not be entitled to any Sublease Profits in respect of the Excessive Delivery Delay Sublease; provided however, if Tenant, as sublandlord under the Excessive Delivery Delay Sublease is entitled to be paid any sums on account of “sublease profits” or “assignment profits” or provisions of similar import, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, one half (½) thereof promptly after Tenant’s receipt thereof (it being agreed that any Excessive Delivery Delay Sublease entered into with an Affiliate of Tenant shall be disregarded for the purposes of the foregoing). “Other Sublease Consideration” means all sums paid for the furnishing of services by Tenant and for the sale or rental of Tenant’s Property less, in the case of the sale thereof, the then fair market value thereof. “Tenant’s Basic Cost” for any sublet space for any calendar quarter means the sum (without duplication) of (1) the portion of the Fixed Rent, Tenant’s Tax Payments, Tenant’s BID Payment, Tenant’s Operating Expense Payments and any other Additional Rent which is attributable to such sublet space (on a pro rata basis) for such calendar quarter (or if the pertinent sublease is in effect for only a part of such calendar quarter, the portion of such calendar quarter during which such sublease is in effect), plus (2) the amount payable by Tenant on account of electricity in respect of such sublet space (on a pro rata basis) for such calendar quarter (or if the pertinent sublease is in effect for only a part of such calendar quarter, the portion of such calendar quarter during which such sublease is in effect).
B.
For the purpose hereof, “Tenant’s Associated Cost” for any sublease shall mean, as of the end of any calendar quarter, the excess of:
(i)
(a) all reasonable amounts paid by Tenant in or prior to such calendar quarter, or to be paid by Tenant at any time within the next six (6) months (or, if later, prior to or upon occupancy by the subtenant for the conduct of business), either (i) in making alterations to (or other changes in the layout and finish of) either the sublet space or other areas of the floor(s) on which the sublet space is located in order to prepare the sublet space for such subtenant’s occupancy and/or (ii) in providing a fund to the subtenant for either such purpose (by way of a work allowance or the like), plus (b) the amount of (i) commercially reasonable out-of-pocket brokerage commission(s) paid in connection with such sublease and (ii) commercially reasonable out-of-pocket legal fees paid by Tenant in connection with such sublease in or prior to such calendar quarter, or to be paid by Tenant in connection with such sublease at any time within the next six (6) months (or, if later, prior to or upon occupancy by the subtenant for the conduct of business), plus (c) the reasonable amount of all reasonable other concessions paid by Tenant in connection with such sublease in or prior to such calendar quarter, or to be paid by Tenant at any time after such calendar year (e.g., takeover expenses and/or payment of moving expenses), plus (d) the amount of commercially reasonable out-of-pocket advertising and marketing costs paid with respect to the sublet space, plus (e) Hard Costs and Soft Costs (other than to the extent funded by Landlord as part of Landlord’s Contribution) in respect of and
138
reasonably allocated to the sublet space, amortized on a straight line basis over a sixteen (16) year period, to the extent such amortization is allocable to the period during the term of such sublease; provided, however, if, in connection with such subletting, the alterations to which such Hard Costs and Soft Costs relate are substantially altered or demolished prior to such subletting or within the six (6) month period following the rent commencement date of any such sublease, such Hard Costs and Soft Costs shall not be permitted to be included in Tenant’s Associated Cost; over
(ii)
all Retained Amounts in respect of such sublease theretofore retained by Tenant for all prior calendar quarters.
C.
If, with respect to any assignment of this Lease, Tenant shall receive any Assignment Profit, then Tenant, within thirty (30) days after such receipt, shall pay to Landlord fifty percent (50%) of such Assignment Profit, which payment shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth a reasonably detailed computation of such Assignment Profit. “Assignment Consideration” means an amount equal to all sums and other consideration paid to Tenant by the assignee in consideration for such assignment (including, without limitation, sums paid for the sale or rental of Tenant’s trade fixtures, leasehold improvements, equipment, furniture, furnishings or other personal property, less, in the case of a sale thereof, the then fair market value thereof). “Assignment Profit” with respect to any assignment shall mean (i) the Assignment Consideration received by Tenant with respect to such assignment, minus (ii) the sum of (a) all reasonable amounts paid by Tenant in connection with such assignment (1) in making alterations to (or other changes in the layout and finish of) the Demised Premises (other than to the extent funded by Landlord as part of Landlord’s Contribution) and/or (2) in providing a fund to the assignee for such purpose (by way of work allowance or the like), plus (b) the amount of (1) commercially reasonable out-of-pocket brokerage commission(s) paid in connection with such assignment and (2) commercially reasonable out-of-pocket legal fees paid by Tenant in connection with such assignment, plus (c) the amount of all other reasonable concessions paid by Tenant in connection with such assignment (e.g., takeover expenses and/or payment of moving expenses), plus (d) the amount of any out-of-pocket advertising and marketing costs incurred with respect to the Demised Premises, plus (e) Tenant’s Hard Costs and Soft Costs (which were not funded in whole or part by Landlord) amortized on a straight-line basis over a sixteen (16) year period, to the extent such amortization is allocable to the period after such assignment, plus (f) all sales and/or transfer taxes paid by Tenant in connection with such assignment.
D.
For purposes of determining Sublease Profits (or the portion thereof that Tenant is obligated to pay to Landlord under Section 8.07A hereof), all sublease transactions shall be treated as independent and separate transactions.
E.
Tenant shall deliver to Landlord within sixty (60) days after the end of each calendar quarter, and within sixty (60) days after the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, a statement specifying each sublease in effect during such calendar quarter, the rentable area demised thereby, the term thereof and a computation in reasonable detail showing the calculation of the Sublease Gross Receipts, Tenant’s Basic Costs, Tenant’s Associated Costs and the Sublease Profits for such calendar quarter. Together with such statement, Tenant shall pay to
139
Landlord, as Additional Rent, Landlord’s share of any Sublease Profits for such calendar quarter in accordance with the terms of Section 8.07A hereof. Landlord shall have the right to review Tenant’s book and records to confirm the accuracy of such computations.
F.
Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, Tenant shall not be entitled to any proceeds derived from or relating to (directly or indirectly) any reletting of the Recapture Space.
8.08
Tenant hereby indemnifies Landlord against any liability asserted against Landlord or any Landlord Party for any brokerage commission, finder’s fee, consultant’s fee or other compensation with respect to any assignment or sublease or proposed assignment or sublease by Tenant or any party claiming through Tenant. Subject to the provisions of Section 8.14 hereof, if this Lease is assigned, the assignor and all its predecessors as tenant hereunder (collectively, the “Predecessor Tenants”) shall be and remain fully liable for the due performance and observance of all of the terms and conditions of this Lease to be performed by Tenant throughout the Term and no amendment of this Lease or waiver of, or consent to departure from, any of the terms and conditions of this Lease shall constitute a novation or otherwise release any of the Predecessor Tenants; provided, however, if any such subsequent amendment to this Lease is made by a Person that is not an Affiliate of the Predecessor Tenant without any such Predecessor Tenant’s consent and such subsequent amendment shall increase the obligations of Tenant hereunder and/or renew the Term hereof except as otherwise expressly permitted herein, then such Predecessor Tenant, including, without limitation, Original Tenant shall not be liable with respect only to such incremental increase and/or such renewal term.
8.09
The joint and several liability of Tenant and any immediate or remote successor in interest of Tenant and the due performance of the obligations of this Lease on Tenant’s part to be performed or observed shall not be discharged, released or impaired in any respect by (a) any waiver or failure of Landlord or any grantee or assignee of Landlord by way of mortgage or otherwise, to enforce any of the obligations of this Lease or (b) any agreement or stipulation made by Landlord, or any grantee or assignee of Landlord by way of mortgage or otherwise, extending the time, or modifying any of the obligations, of this Lease; provided, however, in the event this Lease has been assigned to any Person that is not a Permitted Entity, if Landlord shall thereafter increase the obligations of Tenant hereunder (it being agreed that any exercise of the Floating Expansion Option substantially in accordance with the terms hereof shall not be deemed to be an increase of the obligations of Tenant hereunder for the purposes of this Section 8.09) and/or renew the Term hereof except as otherwise expressly permitted herein without the Predecessor Tenant’s consent, then the Predecessor Tenant, including, without limitation, Original Tenant shall not be liable with respect only to such incremental increase and/or such renewal term.
8.10
The listing of any name other than that of Tenant, whether on the door of the Demised Premises or any portion thereof or the Building directory, if any, or otherwise, shall not operate to vest any right or interest in this Lease or in the Demised Premises, nor shall it be deemed to be the consent of Landlord to any assignment or transfer of this Lease or to any sublease of the Demised Premises or to the use or occupancy thereof by others.
140
8.11
Tenant shall reimburse Landlord (whether or not the proposed transaction is consummated), within thirty (30) days after demand, for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by Landlord in connection with any assignment (whether or not Landlord’s consent is required therefor) or sublease, including the costs of making investigations as to the acceptability of the proposed assignee or subtenant (or whether such proposed assignee or subtenant satisfies the conditions set forth in this Article 8) and reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and disbursements incurred in connection with the granting or reviewing of any matters reasonably related to any such assignment, subletting or other transfer.
8.12
In the case of a sublease approved by Landlord, Landlord shall enter into with the subtenant a Subordination, Recognition and Non Disturbance Agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 8.12 (“Subtenant SNDA”) if:
(a)
Landlord is reasonably satisfied with the financial condition of the proposed subtenant or the proposed subtenant either (i) has a net worth (exclusive of good will and general intangibles) computed in accordance with GAAP at least equal to or greater than at least ten (10) times the aggregate of the annual Fixed Rent then reserved hereunder plus all of the Recurring Additional Rent for the preceding calendar year, in each case, allocable to portion of the Premises that is the subject of the subletting (the “Requisite Net Worth”) or (ii) agrees to provide Landlord with either (A) a reasonably acceptable security deposit at the time the proposed subtenant attorns to Landlord or (B) a guaranty, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, guaranteeing the full and prompt performance of all obligations of the proposed subtenant under the proposed sublease, from a Person with the Requisite Net Worth,
(b)
the proposed sublease demises Eligible Space, for a term of at least five (5) years (inclusive of any extension options of such subtenant which are conditioned upon Tenant’s exercise of its extension rights in accordance with this Lease), with no right of cancellation (other than those customarily provided in the event of casualty or condemnation) prior to the expiration of such minimum term (but in no event extending beyond the then current Expiration Date of this Lease, as that date may have been theretofore, or may thereafter be, extended in accordance with the terms of this Lease),
(c)
the proposed sublease is a bona fide arm’s length sublease with a Person not Affiliated with Tenant or any other Tenant Entity,
(d)
the proposed sublease provides that the fixed rental, tax and expense escalation payments, electricity payments and additional rental payments at the time of attornment to Landlord shall, if necessary, be increased to equal the allocable (i.e., on a Rentable Square Foot basis) payments of Fixed Rent, tax and operating expense escalation and other Article 4 payments, electricity payments and additional rental payments as are due and payable by Tenant under this Lease (“Tenant’s Pro Rata Rent”) for the balance of the initial Term of this Lease and (if applicable) any Renewal Term of this Lease,
(e)
the proposed sublease does not give the subtenant any right to extend or renew the term of its sublease beyond the then current Expiration Date, as that date may have been theretofore, or may thereafter be, extended in accordance with the terms of this Lease,
141
(f)
the proposed sublease imposes no obligations on Landlord to do any work (other than is otherwise required to be done by Landlord hereunder) or provide any landlord contribution, work allowance or free rent period to the subtenant (which would be binding on Landlord), and
(g)
the proposed sublease gives no greater rights to the subtenant than Tenant has under this Lease nor imposes any greater obligations on the sublandlord which would be binding on Landlord (or provides that any such greater rights or obligations shall be null and void if the subtenant becomes the direct tenant of Landlord).
The term “Eligible Space” as used herein shall mean (i) an entire “end floor” (that is, the then highest or lowest floor of the largest block of contiguous floors of the Demised Premises as constituted at the time in question (the “Block”)) together with any one or more floors which are contiguous to such “end floor” and (ii) any entire floor (together with any one or more floors contiguous thereto) which is contiguous to an “end floor” (and any contiguous floors) which is the subject of a sublease with respect to which Landlord previously entered into a Subtenant SNDA.
8.13
Anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, Tenant shall not advertise (but may list with brokers or include in trade or industry computerized listing services) its space for assignment or subletting at a rental rate lower than the then the rental rate for office space in the Building. In connection with any sublease in which Landlord enters into a Subtenant SNDA, Landlord agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a SNDA Agreement from any Superior Lessor or Superior Mortgagee for the subtenant thereunder. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, in no event shall Landlord be required to (a) make any payment to any such Superior Mortgagee or Superior Lessor in connection with any such SNDA Agreement, (b) alter any of the terms of its financing with any such Superior Mortgagee or the terms of any Superior Lease, (c) commence any action against any such Superior Mortgagee or Superior Lessor in order to obtain such SNDA Agreement, or (d) request or obtain, as the case may be, any SNDA Agreement from any Superior Mortgagee or Superior Lessor if Tenant (under this Lease) is or the subtenant (under its sublease), as applicable, shall then be in monetary default or material non-monetary default, in each instance, beyond the expiration of any applicable notice and/or cure periods hereunder or under such sublease, as applicable. Tenant shall be solely responsible for the payment of any costs imposed by any such Superior Mortgagee or Superior Lesser, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, in connection with the review of this Lease, the sublease to which such SNDA Agreement may relate, the preparation and delivery of such party’s SNDA Agreement and any negotiation thereof. Landlord shall not have liability to Tenant if any such Superior Lessor or Superior Mortgage does not enter into any such SNDA Agreement.
8.14
Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary in this Lease, if this Lease shall have been assigned by the Original Tenant, Landlord shall give the Original Tenant a copy of each notice of default given by Landlord to the then current tenant under this Lease. Except if Landlord shall execute and deliver a written instrument releasing the Original Tenant from any further liability under this Lease, Landlord shall not have any right to terminate this Lease, or otherwise to exercise any of Landlord’s rights and remedies hereunder, after a default by such current tenant, unless and until (a) Landlord shall have made a demand on the then tenant to cure
142
the default in question, (b) Landlord shall have complied with its obligation to give notice to the Original Tenant in accordance with the preceding sentence, and (c) the Original Tenant has not cured all then existing monetary defaults of the then tenant or does not diligently prosecute to completion the cure of all then existing non-monetary defaults of the then tenant which are susceptible of cure by the Original Tenant, in either case within the time periods set forth in this Lease (such time periods, with respect to the Original Tenant, being deemed to run from the date that Landlord gives such Original Tenant a copy of the default notice in question). Landlord shall accept timely performance by the Original Tenant of any term, covenant, provision or agreement contained in this Lease on the then current tenant’s part to be observed and performed with the same force and effect as if performed by the then current tenant. Provided that the Original Tenant shall have cured all monetary defaults of the then current tenant and shall be diligently prosecuting to completion the cure of all prior non-monetary defaults of the then current tenant which are susceptible of cure by the Original Tenant, in each case within the time periods described in the preceding sentence, upon request by the Original Tenant, Landlord shall elect, at its option, either (i) to proceed to terminate this Lease because of the default of the then current tenant whereupon, if Landlord has not already done so, Landlord shall promptly and in good faith, at the sole cost and expense of the Original Tenant, initiate and prosecute to completion summary proceedings to obtain vacant possession of the Premises, or (ii) to permit the Original Tenant, promptly and in good faith, at the sole cost and expense of the Original Tenant, to proceed to initiate and prosecute to completion summary proceedings to obtain vacant possession of the Premises (and while such proceedings are pending, Landlord shall not terminate this Lease provided the Original Tenant keeps Landlord current as to the monetary obligations of the then current tenant under this Lease and all material non-monetary obligation susceptible of being performed by the Original Tenant). If Original Tenant shall cure the default by such current tenant, and Landlord or the current tenant seeks to terminate this Lease, or if Landlord or the Original Tenant seeks to terminate this Lease pursuant to the preceding sentence, then in each such case the Original Tenant shall have the right to enter into a new lease with Landlord upon all of the then executory terms of this Lease and to resume actual possession of the Premises for the unexpired balance of the Term; provided, that on or prior to the date that Landlord executes and delivers to the Original Tenant such new lease, the Original Tenant shall have cured all monetary defaults of the then current tenant and, upon resuming actual possession of the Premises under such new lease, the Original Tenant shall cure all non-monetary defaults of the then current tenant which are susceptible of cure by the Original Tenant.
8.15
Tenant shall not be permitted to install in, or otherwise make a part of, the Premises any materials, articles, fixtures, furnishings or equipment which are subject to “liens”, “conditional sales contracts”, “chattel mortgages” or “security interests” (as such quoted terms are defined in the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in New York at the time of the making of the alteration) or other title retention or instrument of similar import (each, a “Security Agreement”) if the placement of same shall result in a lien being filed against the Premises, the Unit, the Building, the Real Property or any part thereof. In the event that any Permitted FF&E Property is purchased or acquired by or on behalf of Tenant subject to a Security Agreement then the lender under such Security Agreement shall be permitted to encumber such Permittted FF&E Property with a lien (but not any lien against the Premises, the Unit, the Building, the Real Property or any part thereof). Tenant agrees that no Security Agreement or Uniform Commercial Code filing statement shall be permitted to be filed against the Building, the Unit, the Real Property, the Premises or any part thereof. As a condition to Tenant’s rights under this
143
Section 8.15, Tenant shall cause the lender with whom Tenant has entered into a Security Agreement to enter into a separate written agreement reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, which agreement shall provide, among other things, that (A) such lender shall promptly repair (or caused to be repaired) any damage to the Building, the Premises or the Unit or any part thereof caused or any part thereof caused by the removal of any Permitted FF&E Property by such lender or its agents or representatives and (B) such lender shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from and against any and all loss, damage, liability or expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, incurred by Landlord as a result of, arising in connection with or due to any other access by such lender to the Premises, the Unit or the Building or any part thereof, (C) no exercise by such lender under such Security Agreement shall be construed to extend the term of this Lease, and (D) any such lender shall be responsible for and shall pay to Landlord, within thirty (30) days of demand, an access fee equal to the Fixed Rent (at the same per diem rate a payable under the Lease) for any period during which such Lender has access to the Premises to exercise its rights with respect to the Permitted FF&E Property; it being agreed, however, if during the time of any such access Tenant is then not in default in the payment of its monetary obligations under the [Lease], beyond the expiration of any applicable notice and/or cure period, then such lender shall not be required to pay the same. All Security Agreements shall contain (or if not contained therein shall be deemed to contain) the following provision: “Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, this chattel mortgage, conditional sales agreement, title retention agreement or security agreement shall not (i) create or be filed as a lien against the land, building and landlord’s improvements comprising the real property in which the goods, machinery, equipment, appliances or other personal property covered hereby are to be located or installed or (ii) in any way extend the term of the [Lease]” If any such lien, based on a Security Agreement or Uniform Commercial Code filing statement, is filed against the Building, the Real Property, the Unit, the Premises or any portion thereof, Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days following notice thereof from Landlord cause such lien or notice to be removed or discharged at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. For the purposes hereof, “Permitted FF&E Property” shall mean any Tenant Property exclusive of (1) Tenant Property that was not funded in whole or in part by Landlord’s Contribution, (2) any items included the RTS Work and (3) Fixtures.
8.16
Any dispute between Landlord and Tenant arising under this Article 8 shall be resolved by arbitration conducted in accordance with the provisions of Section 25.01 hereof.
ARTICLE 9
SUBORDINATION, NON DISTURBANCE, SUPERIOR INSTRUMENTS
9.01
Landlord’s right, title and interest in and to its leasehold estate and to the Unit are derived from and under the Unit Ground Lease. Tenant shall (a) comply with those provisions of the Superior Obligation Instruments which are applicable to Tenant’s obligations under this Lease as they relate to the Demised Premises and shall not take, fail to take or permit to be taken or not taken any action which would cause a default by Landlord under the Superior Obligation Instruments unless such action is expressly permitted to be taken pursuant to the terms of this Lease and (b) cooperate with Landlord and the Public Parties (as defined in the Unit Ground Lease) in all reasonable respects in connection with Landlord’s exercise of rights and/or
144
fulfillment of obligations under the Superior Obligation Instruments, except that Tenant shall have no obligation to disclose any proprietary or confidential information and Tenant shall have no liability therefor.
9.02
A.
Subject to the other terms of this Section 9.02 and without limiting any other provision of this Lease, this Lease is and shall be subject and subordinate in all respects to (i) the Ground Lease and the Unit Ground Lease and, provided the holder thereof is not an Affiliate of Landlord, any other Superior Leases now or hereafter existing, (ii) provided the holder thereof is not an Affiliate of Landlord, all mortgages which may now or hereafter affect the Land, the entire Building, and/or the Unit and/or any Superior Leases, and to each and every advance made or hereafter to be made under such mortgages, (iii) all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions of any Superior Leases, Superior Mortgages, (iv) the Condominium Declaration and the other Condominium Documents and (v) DUO. This Lease is also subject and subordinate to all other matters to which the Superior Obligation Instruments are subject and subordinate, including, without limitation, the Project Documents, the Permitted Encumbrances (as defined in the Unit Ground Lease) and the Subway Agreement, provided, that as between Landlord and Tenant, the rights and obligations of Landlord and Tenant shall be governed solely by the terms and provisions of this Lease and the applicable provisions of the Superior Obligation Instruments. Landlord shall not terminate, surrender, renew, modify, amend, consolidate, replace or extend the Unit Ground Lease, the Condominium Declaration or the other Condominium Documents, the Subway Agreement, the Project Documents, any other instrument to which this Lease is subject and subordinate or the Design Guidelines, in any manner that would (a) extend or shorten the Term, (b) reduce the usable area of the Premises, (c) increase the Fixed Rent or any Additional Rent, (d) except to a de minimis extent, otherwise increase the obligations of Tenant or the rights of Landlord under this Lease or (e) except to a de minimis extent, otherwise decrease the obligations of Landlord or the rights of Tenant under this Lease. This Section shall be self-operative and no further instrument of subordination shall be required; provided, however, (1) not later than ninety (90) days following the Execution Date and as a condition to the occurrence of the Commencement Date, Landlord shall obtain from the Ground Lease Landlord and the existing Superior Mortgagee an executed and acknowledged non disturbance agreement (each, a “SNDA Agreement”) substantially in the forms annexed hereto as Exhibits 9.02A-1 and 9.02A-2, respectively, and (2) as an express condition of any subordination of this Lease to any future Superior Mortgage or Superior Lease, Landlord shall obtain from any future Superior Mortgagee and/or Superior Lessor, in each instance, an executed and acknowledged SNDA Agreement or such form which is then customarily used by such party, provided such other form contains the same substantive protections as are set forth in the forms annexed hereto as Exhibits 9.02A-1 and 9.02A-2 with such reasonable modifications as Tenant may request (provided that Tenant shall not be entitled to request modifications to any provision of such form that would be more favorable to Tenant than the provisions of the form annexed hereto as Exhibit 9.02A-1 or 9.02A-2, respectively, and provided that such form does not (a) extend or shorten the Term, (b) reduce the usable area of the Premises, (c) increase the Fixed Rent or any Additional Rent (d) except to a de minimis extent, otherwise increase the obligations of Tenant or the rights of Landlord under this Lease or (e) except to a de minimis extent, otherwise decrease the obligations of Landlord or the rights of Tenant under this Lease). If any future Superior Lessor or Superior Mortgagee refuses to sign the applicable SNDA Agreement, this Lease shall not be subject to such Superior Lease or Superior Mortgage, as applicable. The leases to which this Lease is, at the time referred
145
to, subject and subordinate pursuant to this Article are hereinafter sometimes called “Superior Leases”, and references to Superior Lessors are intended to include the successors in interest of Superior Lessors and their successors in interest as may be appropriate. The mortgages to which this Lease is, at the time referred to, subject and subordinate and any modifications, extensions or replacements thereof are hereinafter sometimes collectively called “Superior Mortgages” and references to Superior Mortgagees are intended to include the successors in interest of Superior Mortgagees and their successors in interest as may be appropriate.
B.
In the event that Landlord shall fail to obtain from the Ground Lease Landlord and the existing Superior Mortgagee an executed and acknowledged SNDA Agreement within ninety (90) days following the Execution Date for any reason whatsoever, then Tenant shall have the right, at its option and as its sole remedy, to terminate this Lease upon ten (10) days’ prior notice to Landlord given not later than one hundred twenty (120) days after the Execution Date, time being of the essence, and if Landlord has not obtained such SNDA Agreements within such ten (10) day period, then this Lease shall terminate upon the expiration of such ten (10) day period after Tenant’s delivery of notice of termination, as if such date were the date originally set forth for the expiration of this Lease. If Tenant fails to timely give such notice of cancellation, Tenant’s right to so cancel under this Section 9.02B shall be null and void.

ARTICLE 10
ENTRY; RIGHT TO CHANGE
PUBLIC PORTIONS OF THE BUILDING
10.01
Subject to the provisions of this Article 10, Tenant shall permit Landlord, agents, representatives, contractors and employees of Landlord and each Condominium Board
150
and utility companies and other service providers servicing the Building, the Unit and/or the Common Elements to erect, use and maintain pipes and conduits in and through the Demised Premises in concealed locations beneath floors, behind core or perimeter walls or within existing column enclosures and above ceilings; provided, however, to the extent there are alternative locations (which are permitted by Legal Requirements and Insurance Requirements), provide substantially the same service, do not cost materially more (unless Tenant, after being advised of the incremental cost, agrees to pay such cost to Landlord) and do not inconvenience other tenants of the Building (by more than a de minimis extent) for the pipes and conduits outside of the Demised Premises, Tenant shall have the right to require Landlord to use such alternative locations. Subject to the provisions of this Article 10, Landlord and agents, representatives, contractors and employees of Landlord and any Condominium Board shall have the right to enter the Demised Premises upon prior reasonable notice (except in an emergency, in which event Landlord shall endeavor to give such notice as is reasonably practicable under the circumstances) during Business Hours (unless such entry is reasonably likely to adversely affect Tenant’s ability to conduct its business in any substantial or material portion of the Premises or otherwise adversely affect Tenant’s use or occupancy of any substantial or material portion of the Premises, in which event such access shall occur at times other than Tenant’s Business Hours), for the purpose of making such repairs or alterations as Landlord or any Condominium Board shall reasonably require or shall have the right to make by the provisions of this Lease or the Condominium Documents. Landlord shall promptly repair or caused to be repaired any damage caused by such repairs or alterations, including, without limitation, repair (or replacement as necessary) of all Tenant finishes in substantially the same condition existing prior to such damage. Subject to the provisions of this Article 10, Landlord shall also have the right on reasonable prior notice during Business Hours (unless such entry is reasonably likely to adversely affect Tenant’s ability to conduct its business in any substantial or material portion of the Premises or otherwise adversely affect Tenant’s use or occupancy of any substantial or material portion of the Premises, in which event such access shall occur at times other than Tenant’s Business Hours) to enter the Demised Premises, for the purpose of inspecting them or exhibiting them to prospective purchasers, prospective superior lessors or superior mortgagees of the Building and/or the Unit. Landlord and each Condominium Board shall be allowed to take such material as shall be required for such day’s work (provided that if excess material does not unreasonably interfere with Tenant’s business and use of the Demised Premises, then Landlord and any Condominium Board can take such reasonable amounts of material as is required for a commercially reasonable period into and upon the Demised Premises during periods when work is in progress (it being expressly understood and agreed that neither Landlord nor any Condominium Board shall store any materials in the Demised Premises (other than in the freight elevator lobby and mechanical space) during the performance of such work except to the extent that such storage does not unreasonably interfere with Tenant’s business and use of the Demised Premises, without liability to Landlord). Landlord shall clean up or cause to be cleaned up all work areas at the end of each day or block off such work areas in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with Tenant’s business and use of the Demised Premises.
10.02
Subject to the provisions of this Article 10, throughout the Term of this Lease, Landlord and any Condominium Board shall have free access to all mechanical installations located in the Unit or the Common Elements, including, without limitation air-cooling, fan, ventilating and machine rooms and electrical closets, and Tenant shall not construct or place partitions, furniture or other obstructions that interfere with Landlord’s or any
151
Condominium Board’s free access thereto, the proper functioning of the Base Systems or the moving of Landlord’s equipment to and from the enclosures containing said installations. Neither Tenant, any Tenant Party nor any contractor, invitee or licensee of Tenant shall at any time enter the said enclosures or tamper with, adjust, touch or otherwise affect in any manner such mechanical installations.
10.03
During the twenty-one (21) months prior to the expiration of the Term of this Lease, if the Term shall not have been extended or renewed, Landlord may exhibit the Demised Premises to prospective tenants, upon prior reasonable notice to Tenant and in coordination with Tenant so as not to unreasonably disrupt Tenant’s business.
10.04
Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize interference with Tenant’s access and use or occupancy of the Demised Premises in making any repairs, alterations, additions or improvements and in inspecting and exhibiting the Demised Premises, and all of the foregoing shall be performed by Landlord with all due diligence; provided, however, that Landlord shall have no obligation to employ contractors or labor at so called overtime or other premium pay rates or to incur any other overtime costs or expenses whatsoever, except that Landlord, at its expense, shall employ contractors or labor at so called overtime or other premium pay rates if necessary to remedy any condition that either (i) results in a denial of reasonable access to the Demised Premises, (ii) threatens the health or safety of any occupant of the Demised Premises, or (iii) unreasonably interferes with Tenant’s ability to conduct its business in the affected portion of the Demised Premises; it being agreed, however, that in no event shall any of the matters set forth in the aforementioned clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) be construed as requiring Landlord to, nor shall Landlord have any obligation to, employ any overtime or premium pay labor in order to complete the Base Building Work or the RTS Build-out Work and/or satisfy the Initial Delivery Conditions, the Occupancy Date Delivery Conditions the Post-Delivery Conditions and/or the RTS Ready for Occupancy Conditions. In all other cases, at Tenant’s request (except that Tenant shall have no right to request that Landlord perform (and Landlord shall have no obligation to perform) any Base Building Work and/or any work necessary to satisfy the Initial Delivery Conditions, the Occupancy Date Delivery Conditions and/or the Post-Delivery Conditions on any overtime or premium pay basis), Landlord shall employ contractors or labor at so called overtime or other premium pay rates and incur any other overtime costs or expenses in making any repairs, alterations, additions or improvements, provided Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, within thirty (30) days after demand, an amount equal to the excess (a) the overtime or other premium pay rates, including all fringe benefits and other elements of such pay rates, over (b) the regular pay rates for such labor, including all fringe benefits and other elements of such pay rates. In making any repairs, alterations, additions or improvements, Landlord shall cause its contractors or labor to cover and secure such repair areas and equipment in such a manner to minimize interference with Tenant’s business operations during Business Hours. If more than one occupant of the Unit, including Tenant, is chargeable by Landlord for the same overtime costs and expenses relating to the same work for which Tenant is chargeable, then Tenant shall only be charged for a proportionate share of such overtime costs and expenses, which apportionment shall be based on the amount of overtime work requested by such parties. Landlord shall promptly repair any damage to Tenant’s Property arising out of the performance of operations, maintenance or repairs performed by Landlord, or Landlord’s employees, agents or contractors. Tenant shall have the right to reasonably designate, by written notice to Landlord, certain areas of the
152
Demised Premises (including, without limitation, any area containing a safe or any central computer or telephone equipment) as secure areas (each, a “Secure Area”) to which Landlord shall not have access without being accompanied by a representative of Tenant (except in the case of an emergency). Landlord shall not be required to provide cleaning services to such Secure Area. Tenant shall have the right to have a representative accompany Landlord (and persons authorized by Landlord) during any entry into the Premises, including the Enclosed Roof Top Space; it being agreed, however, that such representative shall not be required to be present during any access by Landlord to any portion of the Tenant’s Roof Top Space outside of the Enclosed Roof Top Space. Tenant agrees to have such representative present during Business Hours on Business Days provided Landlord shall give reasonable advance notice of the time it desires access. In addition, Tenant shall keep the Building manager’s office advised of the name and telephone number of the person or agency to be notified on behalf of Tenant in the event of any emergency and shall provide such a representative at all times of the day and night. If such representative shall not be provided at any time after reasonable notice under the circumstances when access to the Premises shall be required or if in the event of an emergency of Tenant, Landlord shall nevertheless have the right to enter the Premises, provided that during any entry permitted under this Section, Landlord and Landlord’s agents shall accord all due care to Tenant’s Property. Landlord shall not have liability to Tenant for any failure of Landlord to perform any of its obligations hereunder by reason of Landlord’s inability to enter the Premises. Landlord agrees that it shall use reasonable efforts to keep all information obtained by it or its agents during such entry confidential and shall use reasonable efforts to prevent the disclosure of the same. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event that Landlord and/or any Condominium Board or their respective agents, representatives, contractors and employees desire to enter the Demised Premises in order to perform work on portions of the Unit or the Building other than the Demised Premises, then Landlord and/or any Condominium Board, as the case may be, shall have the right to enter the Demised Premises in such case only if it is reasonably necessary to enter the Demised Premises in order to perform such work.
10.05
Subject to the rights of any Superior Party, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to permit Tenant, throughout the Term of this Lease, to have a right of access through all other tenant spaces in the Unit (and other tenants of the Unit and NYTC shall have a right of access through the Demised Premises provided Tenant may require that Tenant be present during such access) as necessary, to install, service, maintain and repair cables, conduits, risers, piping, etc. running through the Building for which Tenant (or, as applicable, other tenants or NYTC) is (or are) permitted or required to install, service, maintain and repair, provided that the party desiring access (i.e., Tenant, NYTC or other tenants, as applicable) shall (a) provide Landlord and the party whose space is affected with reasonable prior written notice of the need for such access, (b) schedule such access so as not to unreasonably interfere with the affected party’s business or inconvenience other tenants or occupants of the Building or the Unit, (c) install cables, wires, etc. through conduits if such installation is made outside of their respective demised premises and, in such event, Tenant shall only be permitted to use Tenant’s Conduit, (d) repair, at the accessing party’s expense, any damage to the Building, the Unit, the Common Elements or the accessed space arising out of such access and (e) indemnify and hold the party whose space is affected harmless from and against any cost, claim, liability, damage or expense (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by such party as a result of permitting such access and work.

(ii)
If Tenant desires to perform any Tenant Changes, Tenant shall give Landlord not less than ten (10) Business Days’ prior notice of its intention to make such Tenant Changes (which notice shall include Tenant’s Final Working Drawings, DDs or SDs, as applicable, for such Tenant Changes) or such longer period as may be required under the Unit Ground Lease with respect to “Material Alterations” (as defined in the Unit Ground Lease). If Landlord reasonably requires any additional information or clarification and so notifies Tenant within such ten (10) (or longer) Business Day period (or within five (5) Business Days from Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s resubmission of Final Working Drawings or SDs or DDs, as the case may be, in the case of resubmission of Final Working Drawings or SDs or DDs, as the case may be, or such longer period as may be required under the Unit Ground Lease with respect to Material Alterations), Tenant shall promptly provide such additional information or clarification, as the case may be, it being understood and agreed that Landlord shall request any such additional information or clarification in good faith. If Landlord shall fail to respond to Tenant’s request for a Tenant Change within ten (10) Business Days or longer period, as the case may be, after receiving such request (or within five (5) Business Days or longer required period, as the case may be, from Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s resubmission of Final Working Drawings (or SDs or DDs, as the case may be), in the case of any resubmission thereof), or if Landlord has requested additional information or clarification from Tenant as hereinabove
157
provided, within ten (10) Business Days after receipt by Landlord of such additional information or clarification, (or within five (5) Business Days from Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s resubmission of Final Working Drawings (or SDs or DDs, as the case may be), in the case of resubmission of Final Working Drawings (or SDs or DDs, as the case may be)) then Tenant shall have the right to give Landlord a reminder notice, which reminder notice shall contain the following caption on the first page thereof in bold and capitalized type:
YOUR CONSENT TO THE PROPOSED TENANT’S CHANGE(S) AND THE FINAL WORKING DRAWINGS THEREFOR SHALL BE DEEMED GIVEN IF YOU FAIL TO RESPOND TO THIS REQUEST WITHIN FIVE (5) BUSINESS DAYS FROM THE DATE OF YOUR RECEIPT OF THIS NOTICE.
If Landlord fails to grant or deny the requested consent within five (5) Business Days after its receipt of such reminder notice, Landlord’s consent to Tenant Changes shown in the Final Working Drawings (or SDs or DDs, as the case may be) (other than the Fin Tube Radiation System) shall be deemed given and Tenant shall be permitted to perform the same, provided that Tenant complies with the other applicable provisions of this Article 13. If Landlord denies a request for a Tenant Change, Landlord shall specify the reasons therefor in reasonable detail in the notice to Tenant denying the same.
(iii)
For the purpose hereof, “Material Alterations” shall mean Tenant Changes that (A) require a Permit and the aggregate cost of which exceeds $200,000 in any consecutive twelve (12) month period (such $200,000 floor to be increased each year after the Commencement Date by the percentage increase in the CPI, if any) (exclusive, regardless of cost, of mere decorative Tenant Changes (e.g., painting, carpeting and floor and wall coverings)), (B) upon completion, adversely affect the Base Systems or any other Building systems, (C) would constitute a “Material Alteration” under the Unit Ground Lease (unless such Material Alteration under the Unit Ground Lease would constitute a Major Alteration as defined in this Lease), (D) involve Prohibited Work, (E) require any amendment of any certificate of occupancy for the Building or any portion of the Building, (F) are Specialty Alterations, including any Specialty Core Bathroom Work or (G) the RTS Build-out Work.

158
B.
Consent to Tenant Changes. Tenant shall make no Tenant Change (a) which constitutes a Material Alteration without Landlord’s prior consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld and (b) which constitutes a Major Alteration without Landlord’s prior consent, which may be withheld in Landlord’s sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to the installation of a Fin Tube Radiation System, (a) Tenant must obtain the prior consent of (i) each of the Design Architect and the Curtain Wall Engineer, which may be granted (with such conditions as the Design Architect and/or the Curtain Wall Engineer may require in its sole discretion) or denied in such party’s sole discretion and (ii) the Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold its consent thereto if the Design Architect and the Curtain Wall Engineer have so consented, and (b) Landlord shall not have liability to Tenant on account thereof but Landlord agrees, at no cost to Landlord, to cooperate with Tenant to obtain the Design Architect’s and the Curtain Wall Engineer’s consent thereto. The determination of the Design Architect and the Curtain Wall Engineer with respect to such Fin Tube Radiation System shall be final, not subject to arbitration, and binding upon Tenant. Tenant Changes which do not constitute Material Tenant Changes (collectively, “Permitted Tenant Changes”) may be made by Tenant without Landlord’s approval, provided that Tenant complies with the other applicable provisions of this Article 13. For the purposes hereof, Material Alterations and Major Alterations are collectively referred to herein as “Material Tenant Changes”.
C.
All Tenant Changes (excluding, however, any Tenant’s Property) and the RTS Build-out Work shall immediately upon the installation thereof become and shall remain the property of the Unit Ground Lease Landlord under the Unit Ground Lease; provided, that Tenant shall have the right to use such improvements throughout the Term and to remove or alter such improvements at any time, subject to the applicable provisions and limitations contained in this Lease and, provided further, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (i) all Tenant Changes made at Tenant’s expense (i.e., those Tenant Changes not paid for with Landlord’s Contribution) shall be deemed to be owned by Tenant solely for the purposes of income taxes and Tenant shall have the right to depreciate the cost of such Tenant Changes as permitted under applicable law and (ii) all Tenant Changes funded by Landlord’s Contribution and the RTS Build-out Work shall be deemed to be owned by Landlord solely for the purposes of income taxes and Landlord shall have the right to depreciate the cost of such Tenant Changes as permitted under applicable law. Tenant shall not be required to remove any Tenant Changes other than Specialty Alterations. Tenant may, during the last six (6) months of the Term but in no event later than sixty (60) days prior to the Expiration Date request that Landlord identify those Specialty Alterations (if any) that Tenant will not be required to remove upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Term and Landlord shall respond to such request within fifteen (15) days. In addition, Landlord may at any time during the term identify those Specialty Alterations (if any) that Tenant will not be required to remove upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Term. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, Tenant shall remove all Specialty Alterations required to be removed at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at the time that Tenant requests Landlord’s consent to any Tenant Change, Tenant requests that Landlord inform Tenant whether Landlord will require Tenant to remove any Tenant Changes that constitute Specialty Alterations at the end of the Term, Landlord will so advise Tenant at or before the time Landlord consents to such Specialty Alterations, and, with respect to those Specialty Alterations that Landlord stated it will require Tenant to remove, Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, prior to the Expiration Date or, in the case of an earlier termination of this Lease, within sixty (60) days after the giving of a notice
159
of termination in accordance with Section 20.01A hereof, shall remove the same from the Premises, and shall repair and restore the Premises to substantially the same condition existing prior to installation thereof and shall repair any damage to the Premises or to the Unit, the Building, the Common Elements or any part thereof due to such removal. In the event that Landlord shall fail to notify Tenant with respect to whether Tenant will be required to remove any of such Specialty Alterations at the time Landlord gives (or is deemed to have given) its consent to such Specialty Alterations, then Tenant shall have the right to give Landlord a reminder notice, which reminder notice shall contain the following caption on the first page thereof in bold and capitalized type:
YOU SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE ELECTED TO NOT REQUIRE TENANT TO REMOVE THE SPECIALTY ALTERATIONS PROPOSED BY TENANT SET FORTH IN TENANT’S NOTICE GIVEN PURSUANT TO SECTION 13.02 OF THE LEASE DATED ________ ___, 20__ IF YOU FAIL TO RESPOND TO SUCH NOTICE WITHIN FIVE (5) BUSINESS DAYS AFTER YOUR RECEIPT OF THIS NOTICE.
If Tenant sends a reminder notice to Landlord as aforesaid and Landlord fails to respond to Tenant within five (5) Business Days after its receipt of such reminder notice, then Landlord shall be deemed to have elected to not require Tenant to remove such Specialty Alterations; provided, however, Tenant shall, except as provided in the next sentence, in all events be required to remove the Fin Tube Radiation System and the Specialty Core Bathroom Work and Landlord’s failure to respond to such notice shall not excuse Tenant from its obligation to do so. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 13.01C, Tenant shall not be required to remove the Specialty Alterations if, at the time of the then stated Expiration Date, the following conditions are satisfied: (i) Landlord has entered into a new lease with respect to the Premises, (ii) the tenant under such lease does not require all or any part of the Specialty Alterations to be removed, and (iii) the tenant under such lease has not been granted any allowance or rent concession to remove all or any part of the Specialty Alterations.
D.

If any such incorporated terms, covenants or conditions shall require submission of any plans, specifications or other materials or documents to a Superior Party, Tenant shall submit same to Landlord for forwarding to the necessary Superior Party; it being expressly understood that in no event shall Tenant communicate with any Superior Party in respect of any Tenant Changes or any other matter pertaining to this Lease. Upon its receipt and review of any such materials or documents required to be submitted to any such parties as referenced in the preceding sentence, Landlord shall promptly forward same to the applicable parties and cooperate reasonably with Tenant in requesting and seeking to obtain any required approvals thereof from such parties.
160
E.
Subject to compliance with the terms of this Article, Tenant shall be permitted to make such Tenant Changes that Tenant is required to perform in order to comply with regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and other Legal Requirements applicable to the business of Tenant or its Affiliates, including, subject to the terms hereof, separately demising portions of the Demised Premises from the remaining portions of the Demised Premises, together with necessary cabling and wiring for computer and communication purposes relating thereto.

The provisions of Section 13.01A(i) applicable to Landlord’s review and approval of Final Working Drawings for Material Tenant Changes (including without limitation time periods applicable thereto) shall, if and to the extent appropriate, also be applicable to Landlord’s review and approval of such mechanical, electrical and plumbing plans and specifications, pre-purchase specifications and Long Lead Items.
(ii)
If, in connection with any proposed Tenant Change requiring Landlord’s consent, Landlord, in its reasonable judgment, deems it necessary for Tenant’s Final Working Drawings or any SDs or DDs to be reviewed by Landlord’s Consultant, then Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the reasonable out-of-pocket fees and expenses of Landlord’s Consultant, as Additional Rent, within thirty (30) days after demand. As used herein, the term “Landlord’s Consultant” shall mean such architect, engineer, expeditor or code consultant and/or control inspection consultant licensed to practice in the State of New York as Landlord shall reasonably require given the nature of the proposed Tenant Change or any other alteration.

(iv)
Landlord’s approval of Tenant’s Final Working Drawings (or SDs or DDs) shall not constitute Landlord’s representation or warranty that the same comply with Legal Requirements and/or Insurance Requirements or that the same are adequate or suitable for the work intended and Landlord shall not have liability to Tenant or responsibility for Tenant’s Final Working Drawings (or SDs or DDs).
(v)
Notwithstanding that Landlord’s approval is not required for Permitted Tenant Changes, Tenant shall nevertheless notify Landlord, at least ten (10) days prior to the performance of any Permitted Tenant Change, and, to the extent Final Working Drawings (or any other drawings) exist with respect to such Permitted Tenant Changes or would customarily be prepared with respect thereto, Tenant shall submit the most detailed of such drawings to Landlord together with such notice or promptly thereafter.

In making any Tenant Change, Tenant shall use only contractors and subcontractors approved by Landlord therefor, which approval by Landlord shall not be unreasonably withheld, provided that Tenant’s contractors and subcontractors (a) would not violate Landlord’s union contracts or (b) are not Prohibited Entities; it being acknowledged and agreed that any “Major Contractor” (as defined in the Unit Ground Lease) shall be further subject to the approval of the Unit Ground Lease Landlord in accordance with the terms of the Unit Ground Lease. At the time Tenant requests Landlord’s written consent to a Material Tenant Change, or at least five (5) Business Days prior to making any Permitted Tenant Change, Tenant shall submit to Landlord for Landlord’s approval a list of the contractors and subcontractors who will perform such Tenant Change. Landlord hereby approves, with respect to Tenant’s Initial Work and, subject to the terms hereof, any future Tenant Changes, the contractors listed on Exhibit 13.03 annexed hereto and made a part hereof; the Contractors so listed shall be deemed approved for the duration of Tenant’s Initial Work or a future Tenant Change for the trades indicated on such Exhibit, unless Landlord, upon notice to Tenant, hereafter elects in Landlord’s reasonable judgment to revoke its approval of any such Contractor, in which event, such Contractor, upon the giving of such notice to Tenant, shall no longer be deemed approved (except that such Contractor shall remain approved with respect to any contract that Tenant shall have theretofore entered into with such Contractor prior to the giving of such notice unless such Person is a Prohibited Entity). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with any Tenant Change affecting in whole or part any of the Base Systems (including any life safety systems, building management systems, and/or security or access control systems) or Tenant’s tie-in to any such systems, Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, shall be required to utilize Landlord’s designated contractor(s) and consultant(s) for such tie-in, provided that the charges of such contractor or consultant shall be competitive.

Copies of all Permits (if any) and one set of Final Working Drawings (to the extent the same exist) shall be kept at the Demised Premises at all times during the performance of each Tenant Change. Landlord shall reasonably cooperate with Tenant with respect to obtaining Permits (including Tenant’s TCO), including executing (in accordance with the provisions of this Section 13.04A) and filing all documentation necessary or required in connection therewith, and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the reasonable out-of-pocket fees and expenses incurred by Landlord (including those of Landlord’s Consultant) in connection therewith as Additional Rent within thirty (30) days after demand. Landlord’s execution of Permit applications shall not constitute Landlord’s representation that the same comply with Legal Requirements and/or Insurance Requirements or are suitable for the work intended nor shall it be deemed to be a waiver by Landlord of the compliance by Tenant of any provision of this Lease, and Landlord shall not have liability to Tenant therefor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Tenant be permitted to commence any Material Tenant Change until Landlord has approved or is deemed to approve any required plans therefor pursuant to the provisions of this Article 13.
B.
Promptly after completion of any Tenant Change, Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall diligently obtain and furnish to Landlord all final governmental approvals, licenses, “sign-offs” and certificates with respect thereto.

Prior to the commencement of any Tenant Change (other than decorative Tenant Changes), Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall on Business Days during Business
164
Hours require Tenant’s general contractor and all subcontractors to verify on site dimensions and existing conditions and to attend a pre-construction meeting with Landlord’s construction or building manager, provided Landlord’s construction or project manager makes himself available for such a meeting on a timely basis which Landlord hereby agrees to cause him to do, to determine suitable access routes to the Demised Premises, designated loading, unloading and storage areas for materials, working hours, temporary utilities, safety precautions and procedures, rubbish removal and scheduling procedures.
B.
Tenant shall cause all Tenant Changes to be performed (i) in compliance with all Legal Requirements and Insurance Requirements and in compliance with Landlord’s construction rules and regulations attached hereto Exhibit 13.06B (as amended from time to time in accordance with and subject to the provisions of Article 26 hereof, the “Construction Rules and Regulations”) and made a part hereof and the Design Guidelines, (ii) in such manner as not to unreasonably interfere with the Operation of the Property and so as not to cause labor problems in the Building or the Unit, (iii) with diligence and continuity to completion, (iv) using new, first class materials, and (v) substantially in accordance with the Final Working Drawings submitted to and approved by Landlord as the same may be modified from time to time with Landlord’s approval (it being agreed that Landlord’s approval shall not be required for any Permitted Tenant Change or for any change order of less than $50,000 unless the same materially changes the scope of the Tenant Change or is of such a nature (regardless of cost) that it would independently be subject to Landlord’s consent). Landlord shall be under no obligation to coordinate the performance of any work to be performed as part of any Tenant Change or prepare the Demised Premises therefor and Landlord shall not have liability to Tenant with respect to the installation thereof. Subject to the Construction Rules and Regulations with respect to the manner of performance of such Tenant Changes, Tenant shall be permitted to perform Tenant Changes during Business Hours and at all other times, provided that Tenant shall furnish Landlord with reasonable advance notice of the performance of any Prohibited Work being performed on any floor (the “Prohibited Work Floor”) of the Demised Premises when other tenants of the Building and/or the Unit are in occupancy for the conduct of their business of all or any portion of any floor (each, an “Impacted Floor”) immediately above and/or below the Prohibited Work Floor (unless all of the Impacted Floors are included in the Demised Premises) if such Prohibited Work adversely affects such other tenant’s use of its demised premises or the Building, the Common Elements, the FC Limited Common Elements, the NYTC Limited Common Elements or the Building common areas, in each instance beyond a de minimis extent, in which event such Prohibited Work shall be performed during hours other than Business Hours on Business Days as reasonably designated by Landlord. Tenant shall be solely responsible for any additional costs incurred as a result of the foregoing requirement.
C.
Upon and subject to the terms of this Article, Tenant may construct internal staircases between floors within the Office Space and structurally reinforce the floors of the Demised Premises (it being acknowledged that Landlord shall be permitted to obligate Tenant to perform any Prohibited Work relating thereto including, but not limited to, all core drilling in connection therewith during non-Business Hours on an overtime basis). Tenant shall have the right to select the location of such internal staircases subject to Landlord’s approval which shall not be unreasonably withheld so long as the same shall not adversely affect the structural integrity of the Building and/or the Unit and otherwise complies with the Design Guidelines.
165
D.
If the connection of any utilities, fittings or fixtures of Tenant shall require a temporary shut-down of any Building system or service or shall interfere with Building operations or the use of any other portion of the Building, then the same shall be coordinated with Landlord and shall be performed only with Landlord’s prior consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, provided the same does not adversely affect any other tenant or occupant of the Building or the Unit or the Building common areas or any work being performed by or on behalf of Landlord in connection therewith. Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, perform such connection work other than any connection work with respect to the fire alarm, life safety systems, building management systems and/or access control or security systems, which work shall be performed by Landlord’s designated contractors, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense at a cost not to exceed commercially competitive rates that would be charged by a comparable contractor in the City in the absence of such relationship.
E.
If, by reason of the performance of any Tenant Change, any work stoppage or labor disruption or dispute shall occur at or affecting the Building or the Unit (other than any work stoppage or labor disruption or dispute affecting only the Demised Premises), Tenant shall cease the performance of such Tenant Change during the continuance of such work stoppage or labor disruption or dispute (unless such work stoppage or labor disruption or dispute affects only the Demised Premises), provided that Landlord and Tenant shall reasonably cooperate with one another to seek to resolve the basis for such work stoppages or dispute. If by reason of the performance of any Tenant Change (i) there shall be any material interference with (a) the use and enjoyment of the premises demised to any other tenant or occupant in the Building and/or the Unit or to the Building common areas or (b) any work being performed by or on behalf of Landlord therein and/or (ii) the Demised Premises or the Building and/or the Unit or the Building common areas (or any work or installations in either) shall be damaged, then Tenant shall immediately remedy or remove such condition or conditions.
F.
Promptly after Tenant shall have delivered to Landlord approved Final Working Drawings for Tenant’s Initial Work, which have been signed and sealed by Tenant’s Architect, and a completed form PW-1 for Landlord’s signature, Landlord shall provide Tenant with an ASB-4 (or such other equivalent certificate) that may be required in connection with Tenant’s Initial Work.

(iii)
Upon Tenant’s failure to properly perform, complete and fully pay for the said Tenant Change, as reasonably determined by Landlord, Landlord shall be entitled to draw on the security deposited under Section 13.07B(i) hereof to the extent it deems necessary to complete any incomplete Tenant Change or otherwise hazardous condition, to effect any necessary restoration and/or protection of the Premises, the Unit or the Real Property and to apply such funds to the payment or satisfaction of any costs, damages or expenses in connection with the foregoing and/or Tenant’s obligations under this Article 13 and this Lease relating to Tenant Changes and repairs, including the satisfaction of any mechanic’s liens.

If Tenant shall fail to discharge or bond over any mechanic’s lien within such thirty (30) day period as aforesaid, Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, discharge the mechanic’s lien by bond, payment or otherwise and the cost of the discharge, together with interest thereon at the Interest Rate, will be paid by Tenant to Landlord as Additional Rent within thirty (30) days of Landlord’s demand therefor.
13.08
Violations. A.
In the event any notice of violation is placed against the Unit or the Improvements arising out of any Tenant Change, Tenant shall cure such violation within thirty (30) days after notice thereof or if such violation is of such a nature that it cannot be cured within said thirty (30) day period, Tenant shall commence the curing of said violation within said thirty (30) day period and shall thereafter diligently prosecute to completion all steps necessary to cure such violation. If Tenant shall be unable to cure such violation as aforesaid, Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, cure the violation by whatever action Landlord reasonably deems to be necessary, including the removal of all or any part of the Tenant Change,
167
and the cost of the action taken by Landlord to cure such violation shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord as Additional Rent within thirty (30) days of Landlord’s demand therefor.
B.
If, in connection with the performance of any Tenant Change, or in connection with any change of use of the Demised Premises permitted hereunder (whether or not physical Tenant Changes are involved), there is any violation of Legal Requirements, the compliance with which is the responsibility of Landlord in accordance with this Lease (each a “Landlord’s Violation”), which (i) shall legally delay (or prevent) Tenant from obtaining any governmental permits, consents, approvals or other documentation legally required by Tenant to perform such Tenant Changes, or (ii) shall legally prevent Tenant from commencing, or shall legally delay Tenant in completing, such Tenant Change (it being understood that the imposition of conditions requiring the cure of any Landlord’s Violation by a governmental authority as a condition precedent to legally obtaining any such governmental permits, consents, approvals or other documentation which shall so delay Tenant from obtaining any governmental permits, consents, approvals or other documentation shall be deemed such a prevention or delay), then Landlord, upon notice from Tenant, shall promptly and diligently proceed to cure and remove of record such Landlord’s Violations. If Landlord does not cure and remove of record any such Landlord’s Violation within ten (10) days after such notice (or within twenty (20) days if such Landlord’s Violation is not one which is reasonably susceptible of cure and removal of record within such ten (10) day period), then, provided that the Final Working Drawings for such Tenant Changes have been completed and have been approved (or deemed approved) by Landlord (as and to the extent such approval is required hereunder) and Tenant has either entered into a contract for the performance of such Tenant Change or is in good faith prepared to enter into such a contract, (a) Tenant shall be entitled to an abatement of Rent equal to the Rent reasonably allocable to the portion of the Demised Premises in which such Tenant Changes are legally prevented from being performed or completed, and not merely because Tenant is delayed in making or completing its Tenant Changes (it being agreed that the mere existence of a Landlord’s Violation shall not in and of itself be deemed grounds for such an abatement) and, furthermore, only if the sole and actual cause of Tenant’s delay is Landlord’s Violations and (b) Landlord shall, at Landlord’s option, either (A) pay to Tenant, within thirty (30) days after receipt of an itemized statement therefor, any reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by Tenant which would not have been so incurred in the absence of such prevention or delay or (B) credit the amount thereof against the next subsequent payments of Rent; provided, however, if at the time such credit is to be applied (or, if Landlord elects to pay such amount to Tenant), Tenant is then in monetary default or material non-monetary default under this Lease, in each case, beyond the expiration of any applicable notice and/or cure period, Landlord may offset the amount of such credit (or amount to be paid to Tenant) against amounts properly due and owing by Tenant to Landlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (1) Tenant shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the required permits and/or licenses from the relevant authorities and, in the event Tenant is unable to obtain such required permits and/or licenses, Landlord shall have a reasonable opportunity to attempt to obtain such required permits and/or licenses and Tenant shall cooperate with Landlord at no expense to Tenant and (2) in order for Tenant to be entitled to any abatement of Rent under this Section 13.08B, Tenant shall be required to use commercially reasonable efforts to commence, perform and complete, as the case may be, any and all of the Tenant Changes in question and/or to occupy such portion of the Demised Premises to the extent that Tenant is not legally prevented from so commencing, performing, or completing, as the case may be, such Tenant Changes.
168
13.09
Landlord’s Costs. Subject to the provisions of Section 13.02A(ii) hereof, all reasonable, out-of-pocket third-party costs reasonably incurred by Landlord in connection with any Tenant Change, including but not limited to review of Final Working Drawings (or SDs or DDs, as the case may be) shall be paid by Tenant as Additional Rent within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s demand therefor. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 13.09, Landlord shall not charge any “tap-in” or “tie-in” fees, (or any similar fees) in connection with Class E systems, any supplemental or temporary HVAC systems in the Premises, sprinklers or other mechanical, electrical or plumbing systems in connection with any Tenant Changes (including Tenant’s Initial Work), nor shall Landlord charge Tenant any supervisory or administrative fees or surcharges in connection with any Tenant Changes, including Tenant’s Initial Work or the RTS Build-out Work.
13.10
Fixtures. A.
All alterations, installations, additions or improvements upon the Demised Premises, made by either party, including all paneling, decoration, non-removable partitions, railings, galleries and the like, affixed to the realty so that they cannot be removed without material damage to the Building and/or the Unit (collectively, “Fixtures”) shall remain in the Demised Premises upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Term. All Tenant’s Property shall be the property of Tenant, and shall be removed by Tenant on or before the expiration of the Term or sooner termination thereof and, in case of any damage to the Building and/or the Unit by reason of their removal, Tenant shall repair any such damage. Any items of Tenant’s Property which remain in the Demised Premises after fifteen (15) days following the expiration or any earlier termination of this Lease shall, after ten (10) days’ notice to Tenant be deemed to have been abandoned, and may be retained by Landlord as Landlord’s property or disposed of by Landlord, without accountability, in such manner as Landlord shall determine, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense.
B.
Tenant shall not be permitted to install any Fixtures which are subject to liens, chattel mortgages or security interests (as such term is defined in the Uniform Commercial Code as then in effect in the State of New York).
13.11
Construction Agreements. A. All construction agreements valued at One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) or more shall include the following provisions:
(i)
[“Contractor” / “Subcontractor” / “Materialman”] hereby agrees that immediately upon the purchase by [“contractor” / “subcontractor” / “materialman”] of any building materials to be incorporated in the Demised Premises, such materials shall become the sole property of the Ground Lease Landlord, notwithstanding that such materials have not been incorporated in, or made a part of, such Demised Premises and/or the Common Elements at the time of such purchase; provided, however, that neither Landlord nor any Superior Parties shall be liable in any manner for payment to [“contractor” / “subcontractor” / “materialman”] in connection with the purchase of any such materials, and neither Landlord nor any Superior Parties shall have any obligation to pay any compensation to [“contractor” / “subcontractor” / “materialman”] by reason of such materials becoming the sole property of Ground Lease Landlord.
169
(ii)
[“Contractor” / “Subcontractor” / “Materialman”] hereby agrees that notwithstanding that [“contractor” / “subcontractor” / “materialman”] performed work at the Demised Premises and/or the Common Elements or any part thereof, neither Landlord nor any Superior Parties shall be liable in any manner for payment to [“contractor” / “subcontractor” / “materialman”] in connection with the work performed at the Demised Premises, the Building and/or the Common Elements.
(iii)
[“Contractor” / “Subcontractor” / “Materialman”] hereby agrees to make available for inspection by Landlord and the other Superior Parties, during reasonable business hours, [“contractor’s” / “subcontractor’s” / “materialman’s”] books and records relating to the Tenant Changes being performed or the acquisition of any material or equipment to be incorporated into the Demised Premises, the Building and/or the Common Elements.
(iv)
Neither Landlord nor any of the Superior Parties is a party to this [“contract” / “agreement”] and will in no way be responsible to any party for any claims of any nature whatsoever arising or which may arise from such [“contract” / “agreement”].
(v)
All covenants, representations, guaranties and warranties of [“contractor” / “subcontractor” / “materialman”] set forth in the preceding four paragraphs shall be deemed to be made for the benefit of Landlord and Ground Lease Landlord and shall be enforceable by Landlord and Ground Lease Landlord.
B.
Each agreement between Tenant and any contractor, materialman or other party performing any Tenant Change shall contain a representation made by such contractor, materialman or other party that such party is not a Prohibited Person or a Person on the List and shall contain a termination right for the benefit of Tenant if such representation shall at any time be untrue.
13.12
Tenant’s Initial Work. In addition to complying with all requirements of this Article 13 and the other applicable provisions of this Lease, Tenant agrees that the following additional provisions shall be applicable to Tenant’s Initial Work:
A.
Provided that all of the Initial Delivery Conditions have been satisfied in accordance with the terms hereof, Tenant shall commence or cause the commencement of Tenant’s Initial Work in a reasonably prompt manner after receiving Landlord’s final consent (or deemed consent) to Tenant’s Final Working Drawings and shall diligently prosecute or cause to be prosecuted Tenant’s Initial Work to completion substantially in accordance with Tenant’s construction schedule for Tenant’s Initial Work, subject to Landlord Delays and to Force Majeure pertaining to Tenant’s Initial Work.
B.
Not later than fifteen (15) Business Days prior to commencing Tenant’s Initial Work, Tenant shall furnish Landlord with a construction schedule prepared by Tenant or Tenant’s general contractor or construction manager showing the scheduled dates upon which the various phases of Tenant’s Initial Work are to be commenced and may be reasonably
170
expected to be completed as to such phases and as to the entire Tenant’s Initial Work based upon a commercially reasonable construction schedule. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that the phasing of Tenant’s Initial Work shall take into account the limited or no access that Tenant may have to the Hoist Impacted Areas and/or the RTS Shuttle Elevator Work Area. Landlord shall have the right to review Tenant’s construction schedule and to submit to Tenant, for revision of such schedule, modifications to expedite the performance of the Base Building Work and to allow a greater degree of coordination between Tenant’s Initial Work, the RTS Build-out Work and the Base Building Work. Tenant shall in good faith incorporate same provided such recommendations do not materially adversely impact Tenant or Tenant’s schedule as it relates to the completion of Tenant’s Initial Work. Subject to the terms of this Lease, including compliance with this Article 13, Tenant shall have the right to install one internal staircase per floor of the Office Space as part of Tenant’s Initial Work.
C.
(i)
Tenant shall advise Landlord of the construction manager or general contractor designated by Tenant to perform Tenant’s Initial Work within ten (10) days of the award. The designated construction manager or general contractor shall work in harmony with the Base Building Contractor, the RTS Contractor and Landlord’s contractors and subcontractors and shall be subject to Landlord’s approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Tenant shall also provide Landlord, at least five (5) Business Days prior to sending out bid packages, with a list of subcontractors who will be on the list of bidders. The list of bidders shall be subject to Landlord’s approval which shall not be unreasonably withheld and shall not be required if such bidders are listed on Exhibit 13.03 annexed hereto.
(ii)
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the approval by Landlord of such construction manager, general contractor and/or subcontractors or the inclusion of any Person on Exhibit 13.03 shall not be deemed to mean that Landlord has given any assurance or made any representation, warranty or guaranty with respect to, the performance by or quality of work of such construction manager, general contractor or subcontractors, and Landlord shall not have liability to Tenant nor responsibility for the actions, negligence, work or workmanship of such construction manager, general contractor or subcontractor(s).
(iii)
All Tenant’s Initial Work shall be effected in accordance with the requirements of this Lease. Landlord shall have no responsibility for performance or supervision of Tenant’s Initial Work. Except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 2.02 or 13.08B hereof, any failure to complete Tenant’s Initial Work shall not in any way result in a postponement of the Rent Commencement Date or the payment of any Rent payable hereunder.
D.
It is understood that Landlord’s and Tenant’s contractors may at times be working in the Premises simultaneously (but in no event before the Commencement Date). Subject to the provisions of Sections 2.01 and 13.14 hereof, Landlord and Tenant agree that, in connection with the performance of their respective work, the contractors of each will work harmoniously with the contractors of the other and the contractors will do nothing to impede the work being performed by the other’s contractors, including, but not limited to, the storage of its tools and materials, labor unrest or jurisdictional disputes or any other things that may prevent or
171
delay Landlord’s contractors from completing the Base Building Work or the RTS Build-out Work and Tenant’s contractors from completing Tenant’s Initial Work.
E.
Landlord shall, at Landlord’s sole cost and expense, construct and maintain the Temporary Enclosure in each Hoist Impacted Area no later than thirty (30) days following the later of (a) the actual satisfaction of the Initial Delivery Conditions thereof and (b) the expiration of Landlord’s exclusive period with respect thereto as provided in Section 13.14C hereof. Tenant shall not remove the Temporary Enclosure until the Hoist Area Work has been completed; it being agreed that Tenant shall be responsible, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, to remove the Temporary Enclosure. The Temporary Enclosure shall be sufficient to enable Landlord to obtain a Landlord’s TCO for the floors of the Demised Premises included in the Hoist Impacted Areas and shall otherwise be constructed in accordance with the requirements set forth on Exhibit 13.12E annexed hereto and made a part hereof. Landlord shall be permitted to access the Hoist Impacted Areas through the doors of the Temporary Enclosure (as shown on Exhibit 13.12E). Landlord shall give Tenant prompt notice of the completion of the Hoist Area Work.
F.
During the performance of Tenant’s Initial Work, Tenant shall have non-exclusive access to the Hoist maintained and operated by the Base Building Contractor serving the floors in which the Demised Premises are located as provided herein. The Hoist shall be made available to Tenant’s contractors for the delivery of material upon application to the Base Building Contractor in accordance with procedures developed by the Base Building Contractor so as not to delay the Base Building Contractor from completing the Base Building Work or any other work being performed by, for or on behalf of Landlord in the Building, the Unit or any part thereof (but without affording any other tenant more favorable availability than that which is afforded to Tenant). So long as the Hoist is erected, Tenant’s contractors shall be afforded access to Landlord’s Hoist on a nonexclusive basis in conjunction with all other workers performing work throughout the Building in accordance with procedures developed by the Base Building Contractor (which procedures shall not afford any other tenant more favorable availability than that which is afforded Tenant), including the Staggered Hoist Hour and the procedures relating to such Staggered Hoist Hour as provided on Exhibit 2.02A(vi). To the extent practicable and available in accordance with good construction practice, Tenant shall be required to schedule usage of the Hoist in advance for delivery of material or equipment in connection with Tenant’s Initial Work (other than hand tools and other similar items used by workers in the execution of their work). Neither Tenant nor any other tenant or occupant of the Unit shall have the right to place a standing order for Hoist time. In the event of any breakdown of the Hoist, Landlord and Tenant shall cooperate to minimize delays in the work of both parties. Subject to the provisions of Exhibit 2.02A(vi), the Hoist shall be operated during such regular working hours as established by the applicable trades and unions; the regular working hours on Business Days as presently established on this date are 7:00 A.M. to 3:30 P.M., subject to reasonable revision, provided that the union rules regarding the minimum number of hours of operation on any one day shall prevail. Except as hereinafter provided, Tenant shall not be required to pay any charge or other fee for use of the Hoist for the delivery of material or personnel during regular construction working hours and up to one (1) hour thereafter; it being agreed that at any other times Tenant shall be required to pay any additional reasonable incremental out-of-pocket costs incurred by Landlord therefor as a result of such Tenant use (it being acknowledged that such incremental costs may increase after the Execution Date). Tenant
172
acknowledges that on or prior to the Outside Post-Delivery Conditions Date, the operation of the Hoist will cease and the Base Building Contractor shall commence the process of removing the Hoist (which process shall include the removal of all tie backs running from the Hoist into the Building and affecting the Demised Premises and the installation of (and making weathertight) any and all windows to be installed in the portion of the Demised Premises which were not theretofore installed by reason of the Hoist, if any). In no event shall Tenant have any right to install any Hoist at the Building. Tenant (i) acknowledges that it may be required to stagger the arrival of its contractors, other personnel, and deliveries because of the simultaneous construction of the Base Building Work, Tenant’s Initial Work and other construction occurring at the Building and (ii) agrees that (a) any cost or expense incurred as a result thereof shall be solely the responsibility of Tenant and, not be a basis for any claim of Landlord Delay (except as otherwise expressly provided herein) and (b) Landlord shall not have liability to Tenant on account thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord will use commercially reasonable efforts, in accordance with commercially reasonable construction practice, to ensure that Tenant has fair and reasonable access to the Hoist during normal working hours relative to other tenants performing construction at the Unit so as to not unreasonably delay the performance of Tenant’s Initial Work (other than delays reasonably anticipated in normal construction of a major office building in Midtown Manhattan and taking into account the scope of the Base Building Work and fair and reasonable access for multiple tenants performing build-out work). In the event that Tenant, in good faith, believes that it is not being afforded such fair and reasonable access to the Hoist as compared to other tenants, Tenant shall give immediate notice thereof to Landlord specifying the details and the days in which Tenant believes such access was not so given. Landlord shall immediately advise the Base Building Contractor in an attempt to address Tenant’s complaint and shall review the scheduling logs to determine if such access is being provided in a fair and reasonable manner. Not later than two (2) Business Days after receipt of Tenant’s complaint, Landlord will advise Tenant if it disputes such claim. If Landlord agrees with such assessment or if Landlord disputes the same and an Arbitrator rules in favor of Tenant, then, to the extent such complained of access to the Hoist has actually delayed Tenant in the Substantial Completion of Tenant’s Initial Work by the scheduled completion date therefor, the same, subject to the provisions of Section 2.02N hereof, shall constitute Landlord Delay. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, (i) the terms of this Section 13.12F and Section 2.02 hereof, are subject to the terms of Exhibit 2.02A(vi) and (ii) during the Staggered Hoist Hour, neither Landlord nor the Base Building Contactor shall have any priority over Tenant’s Contractors or any right to “bump” Tenant’s Contractors.
G.
(i)
Tenant shall use reasonable efforts to protect the Demised Premises, including all Base Building Work therein, from damage by Tenant’s contractors, subcontractors and movers, and shall pay for any replacements, repairs or extra cleaning necessitated by any damage caused to the Demised Premises by such contractors or subcontractors or the moving by contractors, subcontractors, movers or other agents of Tenant of fixtures, equipment, furnishings, furniture and other property into or out of the Demised Premises.
(ii)
Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to protect the Demised Premises, including Tenant’s Initial Work therein, from damage by Landlord’s contractors, or subcontractors, and shall pay for any replacements, repairs or extra
173
cleaning necessitated by any damage caused to the Demised Premises by such contractors or subcontractors.
H.
Tenant shall not store any materials and equipment used for or in connection with Tenant’s Initial Work within or adjacent to the Building, including without limitation in the receiving area at the ground level of the Hoist, other than within the Premises.
I.
Provided that Tenant shall give Landlord reasonable prior notice thereof, Tenant may, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, test those of its systems which interface with the Building systems and Landlord shall cooperate with Tenant to the extent reasonably required in connection therewith. Tenant shall permit Landlord’s representatives to coordinate and observe such testing and shall provide Landlord’s representatives access to and copies of test results provided, however, Landlord shall operate all of the Building systems and equipment in connection with and affected by such testing.
J.
Tenant shall, throughout the performance of Tenant’s Initial Work, promptly remove all rubbish and debris from the Premises using a refuse remover designated by Tenant and reasonably acceptable to Landlord but in no event shall Tenant or any Contractor or other Person claiming by or through Tenant use any containers of the Base Building Contractor.
K.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Tenant shall be solely responsible for all Hard Costs and Soft Costs relating to Tenant’s Initial Work (subject to reimbursement from Landlord’s Contribution subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Article 36 hereof).
L.
Either party shall be permitted to submit disputes arising under this Section 13.12 to arbitration in accordance with the provisions of Section 25.02 hereof.
M.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if Tenant elects to perform the Specialty Core Bathroom Work, then Tenant shall complete the Specialty Core Bathroom Work and otherwise finish the core bathrooms at Tenant’s sole cost and expense.

13.14
Construction Representatives; Exclusive Areas.
A.
Landlord and Tenant shall each designate a representative who shall serve as its representative during the performance of the Base Building Work, the RTS Build-out Work and Tenant’s Initial Work (each, a “Construction Representative”).

Landlord’s Construction Representative shall provide administration of the Base Building Work and is authorized to bind Landlord in all matters relating to the Base Building Work, the RTS Build-out Work, Tenant’s Initial Work and the coordination thereof. Tenant’s Construction Representative shall use good faith reasonable efforts to coordinate with Landlord’s Construction Representative.

During the course of Tenant’s Initial Work, the RTS Build-out Work and the Base Building Work (i) all instructions to Landlord shall be directed by Tenant’s Construction Representative to Landlord’s Construction Representative, and Tenant shall be responsible for such directions and (ii) all instructions to Tenant shall be directed by Landlord’s Construction Representative to Tenant’s Construction Representative, and Landlord shall be responsible for such directions. Any change in a Construction Representative shall be effective the next Business Day after Landlord’s or Tenant’s receipt of the other’s notice thereof.
B.
During the performance of the Base Building Work and Tenant’s Initial Work, Tenant acknowledges that Landlord shall have exclusive access (without the same constituting a Landlord Delay) (i) to the areas of the Initial Office Space shown on Exhibit 13.14C annexed hereto and made a part hereof for the forty-five (45) day period (subject to extension due to Tenant Delay and Force Majeure) commencing on the actual (not deemed) satisfaction of the Initial Delivery Conditions with respect thereto and (ii) to the Hoist Impacted Areas through the Demised Premises until forty-five (45) days (subject to extension due to Tenant Delay and Force Majeure) after the Substantial Completion of the Hoist Area Work; it be agreed that Tenant shall not be entitled to any rent credit or abatement during the period of any such exclusive access. If Tenant interferes in any way with Landlord’s exclusive access through the Demised Premises to, and Landlord’s use of, such exclusive areas during the applicable forty-five (45) day exclusive period, the same shall, subject to the provisions of Section 2.02M hereof, constitute a Tenant Delay and such applicable period shall be extended on a day-for-day basis for each such day of Tenant Delay.
13.15
Temporary Services to the Demised Premises.
A.
During the performance of Tenant’s Initial Work (i) prior to the activation of permanent power to the Demised Premises, Tenant shall pay for the use of temporary electric if and as provided in Exhibit 2.02A(vi) and (ii) if permanent power to the Demised Premises has been activated but permanent submeters to measure electrical energy used in the Demised Premises have not yet been installed, Tenant shall pay Landlord for the use of electricity in an amount reasonably allocated by Landlord to usage attributable substantially to Tenant’s Initial Work or as measured by a temporary meter installed by Landlord, at Landlord’s sole cost and expense.
B.
During the performance of Tenant’s Initial Work and until the activation of permanent power to the Demised Premises, Landlord shall arrange for temporary power to be provided to the Demised Premises for the performance of Tenant’s Initial Work, subject to and in accordance with Exhibit 2.02A(vi). The cost of any consumption required to be paid by Tenant on account of such temporary electric power (if any) as provided in Exhibit 2.02A(vi) shall be payable by Tenant, as Additional Rent, on a monthly basis within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s demand therefor based on the actual cost incurred by Landlord on account thereof without any premium or markup thereon. Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, provide and maintain a grid of lights or stringers which shall meet requirements of Legal Requirements in regard to safe working conditions on each floor turned over for performance of Tenant’s Initial Work. Once the permanent power is operational on each floor of the Premises (i) Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, to the extent necessary, remove any
175
temporary electric panels, and switches, transformers and (ii) Landlord shall, at Landlord’s sole cost and expense, to the extent necessary, shall, remove all temporary electrical risers. Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, remove all of such grid or stringers.
C.
Until the activation of the Base HVAC System, during the performance of Tenant’s Initial Work, Tenant shall be obligated to obtain and install such temporary electrical heating equipment as Tenant may deem necessary to temporarily heat the Demised Premises; it being acknowledged that any such temporary heat in the Demised Premises must be supplied by equipment using electrical power only (without limiting the foregoing, in no event shall any kerosene or other petroleum based heating equipment be permitted). Landlord makes no representation or warranty as to the adequacy of any temporary heating equipment that Tenant may install and Landlord shall not have liability to Tenant on account thereof.

A.
If Tenant shall default in the observance or performance of any term or covenant on its part to be observed or performed under or by virtue of any of the terms or provisions of this Lease, and such default shall continue beyond the expiration of any applicable notice and/or cure period therefor, Landlord, without being under any obligation to do so and without thereby waiving such default, may, upon at least five (5) days’ prior written notice to Tenant and an opportunity to cure (or such shorter periods, if any, as may be feasible in the case of an emergency), which notice shall expressly state Landlord’s intention to exercise its rights under this Section 14.01A, remedy such default for the account and at the reasonable expense of Tenant. All reasonable expenditures made by Landlord in connection therewith, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements in instituting, prosecuting or defending any action or proceeding, such sums paid with interest at the Prime Rate shall be
176
deemed to be Additional Rent hereunder and shall be paid to it by Tenant within thirty (30) days after submission by Landlord to Tenant of a reasonably detailed invoice therefor.

Neither Landlord nor any Landlord Party shall be liable for (i) any damage to property of Tenant or of others entrusted to employees of Landlord, the Condominium, the Building or the Unit, nor for the loss of or damage to any property of Tenant by theft or otherwise, (ii) any injury or damage to persons or property resulting from fire, explosion, falling plaster, steam, gas, electricity, water, rain or snow leaks from any part of the Building or from the pipes, appliances or plumbing works or from the roof, street or sub surface or from any other place or by dampness or by any other cause of whatsoever nature except to the extent due to the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or any Landlord Party or (iii) damage caused by other tenants or persons in the Building or caused by operations in construction of any private, public or quasi-public work, but the foregoing shall not limit Tenant’s rights or decrease Landlord’s obligations under this Lease.
B.
Landlord shall not have liability to Tenant by reason of any Window Blocking or if at any time any windows of the Premises are either temporarily darkened or obstructed by reason of any translucent material for the purpose of energy conservation, or if any part of the Building, other than the Premises, is temporarily or permanently closed or inoperable, provided that the same does not (i) materially interfere with Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises, (ii) adversely affect Tenant’s access to the Premises, (iii) permanently close the lobby of the Building (provided at all times there shall be at least one entrance to the Building) or (iv) detract from the first class nature of the Building. If at any time the windows of the Premises are temporarily closed, darkened or bricked-up, Landlord shall perform such repairs, maintenance, alterations or improvements with reasonable diligence as is reasonably necessary to re-open the same and, unless such condition has been imposed pursuant to Legal Requirements, Landlord shall, subject to the provisions of Section 10.04 hereof, use reasonable efforts to minimize the period of time during which such windows are temporarily closed, darkened, or bricked-up. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Material Window Blocking occurs, Tenant shall be entitled to an equitable abatement in respect of only the portion of the Demised Premises immediately adjacent to the windows subject to such Material Window Blocking (not to exceed (i) fifty percent (50%) of the Fixed Rent thereof for any Office Floor other than the Designated Executive Floor and (ii) seventy-five (75%) of the Fixed Rent thereof if affecting the Designated Executive Floor) for the period commencing on the day after the ten (10) Business Day period commencing on the date on which Tenant delivers a written notice to Landlord of such Material Window Blocking and continuing for the period during which such Material Window Blocking
178
continues. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Landlord hereby covenants and agrees that Landlord shall ensure that no commercial signage affixed to the Building shall obstruct the view of Tenant out of any windows of the Office Space. Any dispute between Landlord and Tenant pursuant to this Section 15.03B shall be submitted to arbitration pursuant to Section 25.01 hereof.
15.04
Except to the extent of Landlord’s leasehold estate and interest in and to the Unit, no recourse shall be had for any of Landlord’s obligations under this Lease or for any claim based thereon or otherwise in respect thereof against any Landlord Party, past, present or future, or any partner or joint venturer of any partnership or joint venture, or any member of any limited liability company which shall be Landlord hereunder or included in the term “Landlord” or of any successor of any such corporation or limited liability company, or against any principal, disclosed or undisclosed, or any such corporation or limited liability company, or against any principal, disclosed or undisclosed, or any affiliate of any party which shall be Landlord or included in the term “Landlord,” whether directly or through Landlord or through any receiver, assignee, agent, trustee in bankruptcy or through any other person, firm or corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law or by enforcement of an assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being expressly waived and released by Tenant.
15.05
Tenant shall look only and solely to Landlord’s leasehold estate and interest in and to the Unit and the rents and profits and proceeds therefrom, for the satisfaction of any right of Tenant arising out of this Lease or for the collection of judgment or other judicial process or arbitration award requiring the payment of money by Landlord in connection with this Lease and no other property or assets of Landlord or any Landlord Party shall be subject to levy, lien, execution, attachment, or other enforcement procedure for the satisfaction of Tenant’s rights and remedies under or with respect to this Lease, the relationship of Landlord and Tenant hereunder or under law, or Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Demised Premises or any other liability of Landlord to Tenant. For purposes of the preceding sentence, Landlord’s leasehold estate and interest in and to the Unit shall be deemed to include, without limitation (a) all rent or other consideration received by Landlord in respect of its leasehold estate and the Unit (after payment of the Operating Expenses and Taxes), (b) proceeds of a sale (net of transaction costs), financing or refinancing (but only to the extent the proceeds of a financing or refinancing exceed (i) the amount of any indebtedness that was paid with the proceeds of such financing or refinancing plus (ii) all reasonable transaction costs associated with such financing or refinancing) of the Unit (or any portion thereof), or of Landlord’s estate or interest therein, or in any property, equipment or improvements in the Building (or any portion thereof), (c) any insurance proceeds or condemnation awards relating to any portion of the leasehold estate or the Unit (to the extent in excess of any restoration costs and net of all reasonable out-of-pocket costs of obtaining such proceeds or awards) and (d) any security at any time posted by Landlord with Tenant to secure Landlord’s obligations under this Lease.
179
ARTICLE 16
INSURANCE; INDEMNIFICATION
16.01
Tenant shall not do or permit to be done any act or thing in or upon the Demised Premises which will invalidate or be in conflict with the certificate of occupancy (as the same may be amended from time to time as permitted hereunder) or the terms of the New York State standard form of fire, boiler, sprinkler, water damage or other customary insurance policies covering the Building and/or the Unit (collectively, “Building Insurance”) and the fixtures and property therein provided the foregoing do not prohibit any of the permitted uses under Article 5 hereof.
16.02
Tenant shall not violate, or permit the violation of, any Insurance Requirements, and shall not do (or permit to be done) or keep (or permit to be kept) anything in the Premises or any part thereof that: (a) increases the fire or other casualty or property insurance rate on the Building or the property therein over the rate that would otherwise then be in effect unless Tenant shall agree to pay the amount of any such rate increases and Landlord shall consent thereto, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; or (b) result in insurance companies of good standing refusing to insure the Building, or any of such property in amounts reasonably satisfactory to Landlord. If, by reason of a failure of Tenant to comply with the provisions of this Section 16.02, the rate of fire or other casualty or property insurance on the Building, the Unit, or equipment or other property of Landlord shall be higher than it otherwise would be, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord, within thirty (30) days following demand, for that part of the premiums for such insurance paid by Landlord because of such failure on the part of Tenant. In any action or proceeding wherein Landlord and Tenant are parties, a schedule or “make up” of rates for the Building, the Unit or the Demised Premises issued by the New York Fire Insurance Exchange, the Insurance Services Office or other body making fire insurance rates for said premises, shall be presumptive evidence of the facts therein stated and of the several items and charges in the fire insurance rate then applicable to the Building, the Unit or the Demised Premises.
16.03
A.
Tenant shall secure and keep in full force and effect throughout the Term, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense: (i) Commercial General Liability Insurance including fire legal liability, written on an occurrence basis, to afford protection in the amount of Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000) combined single limit for bodily injury and property damage including personal injury coverage (with contractual and employee exclusions deleted), broad form property damage coverage, contractual liability coverage as respects any indemnification or hold harmless provisions contained herein, completed operation coverage, independent contractors coverage, liquor liability or such increased amount as Landlord may reasonably determine from time to time, but in no event may Landlord increase such amount more frequently than every two (2) years or in excess of increases that prudent owners of Comparable Buildings would require of similarly situated tenants; (ii) “cause of loss/special form” coverage upon Tenant’s Initial Work, Tenant Changes, and Tenant’s Property (including Tenant’s Property located in Tenant’s Roof Top Space and, if leased by Tenant hereunder, the 51st Floor Space) for one hundred percent (100%) of replacement cost including a stipulated (agreed) valuation endorsement and including business interruption coverage; (iii) if not included in the above-mentioned policies, Blanket Broad Form Boiler and Machinery Insurance
180
(including Business Interruption coverage) on all items commonly covered by such insurance and now or hereafter installed by or for Tenant and used exclusively by Tenant, its Affiliates and permitted subtenants, assignees and transferees in amounts reasonably set by Landlord and in no event less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000); (iv) Workers Compensation Insurance and State Disability Benefits Insurance, as required by law and Employers Liability insurance of a minimum of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) per person and per accident with an umbrella of Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000); (v) terrorism insurance provided the same is available at commercially reasonable rates as reasonably determined by Landlord; and (vi) such other insurance and in such amounts as Landlord may reasonably require, from time to time provided the same are not in excess of what prudent owners of Comparable Buildings would require of similarly situated tenants. Tenant shall have the right to insure and maintain the insurance coverages set forth in this Section under blanket or umbrella insurance policies covering other premises occupied by Tenant provided that such blanket policies (x) provide the amount of insurance allocable to the Demised Premises shall at all times be not less than the amounts set forth above, and that such amounts will not be reduced by any loss at any other location, and (y) shall comply with the provisions of this Section 16.03. If the insurance required by this Section shall be effected by any such blanket or umbrella policies, Tenant shall furnish to Landlord, executed certificates of such policies showing the insurance (in the proper amounts and with proper coverages) afforded by such policies applicable to the Premises as reasonably requested by Landlord. During the performance of any Tenant Change (including Tenant’s Initial Work), Tenant shall cause its construction manager and/or general contractor as well as its major trade contractors and subcontractors to provide Worker’s Compensation Insurance and State Disability Benefits Insurance as required by law, Commercial General Liability Insurance including the coverage described in subsection (i) above except that subcontractors shall only be required to secure Commercial General Liability Insurance, to afford protection in the amount of Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) combined single limit (or such lower limits as may be approved by Landlord in its reasonable judgment), “cause of loss/special form” insurance including the coverage described in 16.03B below and completed operations coverage which is to be kept in effect for one (1) year after completion of the work, and employers’ liability insurance as described in 16.03A(iv) hereof. Contractors’ and subcontractors’ policies shall comply with Sections 16.04 and 16.05 hereof. Tenant shall be solely responsible for covering the deductibles under the insurance policies provided by or on behalf of Tenant hereunder regardless of whether Landlord has approved the amount of such deductibles.
B.
During the period in which Tenant’s Initial Work or any other Tenant Changes are being performed, Tenant shall secure and keep in full force and effect (or cause to be secured and kept in full force and effect), at Tenant’s cost, “cause of loss/special form” coverage (including but not limited to glass breakage (including plate glass), sprinkler leakage and collapse) for one hundred percent (100%) of the replacement cost including a stipulated (agreed) valuation endorsement for Tenant’s Initial Work or any other Tenant Changes (whether or not in the course of construction).
16.04
All insurance required to be carried by Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Lease shall be effected under valid and enforceable policies (written in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord) issued by reputable and independent insurers authorized 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 general
181
policyholder rating of “A–” (or the equivalent thereof) and a financial rating of at least “IX” (or the equivalent thereof). All such insurance shall have a term of not less that one (1) year. Upon failure of Tenant to procure, maintain and place such insurance and pay all premiums and charges therefor, Landlord may (but shall not be obligated to) do so, provided that Landlord and Tenant shall each notify the other promptly upon learning of any such failure and provided further that Landlord shall afford Tenant ten (10) Business Days within which to cure any such failure unless such cure period would expose Landlord to any liability, penalty or other burden. If Landlord elects to procure such insurance as aforesaid, Tenant shall pay the amount thereof to Landlord as Additional Rent within thirty (30) days after demand therefor. All policies of insurance procured by Tenant shall contain endorsements providing that (a) the insurance company shall provide Landlord with thirty (30) days’ prior notice, or ten (10) days’ prior notice in the event of cancellation for nonpayment of premium, before such policy shall be cancelled and (b) Tenant shall be solely responsible for the payment of premiums therefor notwithstanding that Landlord is named as an additional insured. Duly executed certificates of insurance reasonably acceptable to Landlord (including evidence of the waivers of subrogation required pursuant to Section 17.03 hereof) shall be delivered by Landlord and Tenant to each other on or before the Commencement Date (or such earlier date as may be required hereunder) and thereafter annually on the anniversary date. Further, all policies of insurance procured by Tenant or Landlord shall be written as primary policies not contributing with nor in excess of coverage that Landlord or Tenant may carry, as the case may be, except for any general liability policy carried by Tenant which provides that any applicable insurance proceeds are first applied to property damage to the Premises or any other premises rented or temporarily occupied by Tenant. Tenant shall give Landlord at least thirty (30) days’ prior notice of any modification of the insurance that materially affects the coverage of the insured (including any additional insured) thereunder.
16.05
All insurance procured by Tenant or its contractors or subcontractors under this Article 16 shall be issued in the name of Tenant and for the benefit of Tenant and with respect to the “cause of loss/special form” insurance policy and the Commercial General Liability Insurance policy, Tenant (and it contractors and subcontractors) shall name Landlord (and each Landlord Party), each Condominium Board, as an additional insured and, unless Landlord otherwise requests, each other Superior Party, including the Public Parties, as additional insureds as their respective interests may appear, and shall contain an endorsement that each of Landlord and the Condominium, and any Superior Party, including the Public Parties, although named as additional insureds, nevertheless shall continued to be named as such additional insured under said policies for so long as such policies are in effect for any loss or damages occasioned during the Term to it, its respective agents, employees, contractors, directors, shareholders, partners and principals (disclosed or undisclosed) by reason of the negligence, acts or omissions of Tenant, its servants, agents and employees.
16.06
None of Tenant’s Initial Work, Tenant Changes, nor any Tenant’s Property shall be insured by Landlord under Landlord’s insurance policies nor shall Landlord be required under Article 17 or any other provision of this Lease to either reinstall, restore, repair or replace any portion thereof.
16.07
A.
Subject to the provisions of Section 17.03 hereof, Tenant shall indemnify and save each of the Indemnitees harmless (except to the extent any claim arises from
182
the negligence or willful misconduct of any Indemnitee) from and against (i) all claims of whatever nature against the Indemnitees arising from any negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant, any Tenant Party or Tenant’s contractors, licensees, agents, servants, employees or, while in the Premises, invitees or visitors, (ii) all claims against the Indemnitees arising from any accident, injury or damage whatsoever caused to any person or to the property of any person and occurring during the Term in the Premises, including Tenant’s Roof Top Space, (iii) all claims against the Indemnitees arising from any accident, injury or damage occurring outside of the Premises but anywhere within or about the Real Property, to the extent such accident, injury or damage results or is claimed to have resulted from any negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or Tenant’s contractors, licensees, agents, servants, employees, invitees or visitors, and (iv) any breach, violation or non-performance of any covenant, condition or agreement in this Lease set forth and contained on the part of Tenant to be fulfilled, kept, observed and performed. This indemnity and hold harmless agreement shall include indemnity from and against any and all liability, fines, suits, demands, costs and expenses of any kind or nature (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred in or in connection with any such claim or proceeding brought thereon, and the defense thereof but except with respect to claims with respect to bodily injury or death, shall be limited to the extent any insurance proceeds collectible by Landlord under policies owned by Landlord or such injured party with respect to such damage or injury are insufficient to satisfy same.
B.
Subject to the provisions of Section 17.03, Landlord shall indemnify and save Tenant and each Tenant Party (except to the extent any claim arises from the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or any Tenant Party) from and against (i) all claims of whatever nature against Tenant or any Tenant Party arising from any negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, any Landlord Party or Landlord’s contractors, licensees, agents, servants, employees, invitees or visitors, (ii) all claims against Tenant or any Tenant Party arising from any accident, injury or damage whatsoever caused to any person or to the property of any person and occurring during the Term in or about the Building outside of the Premises, (iii) all claims against Tenant or any Tenant Party arising from any accident, injury or damage occurring within the Premises, to the extent such accident, injury or damage results or is claimed to have resulted from the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, any Landlord Party or Landlord’s contractors, licensees, agents, servants, employees, invitees or visitors, and (iv) any breach, violation or non-performance of any covenant, condition or agreement in this Lease set forth and contained on the part of Landlord to be fulfilled, kept, observed and performed. This indemnity and hold harmless agreement shall include indemnity from and against any and all liability, fines, suits, demands, costs and expenses of any kind or nature (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred in or in connection with any such claim or proceeding brought thereon, but shall be limited to the extent any insurance proceeds collectible by Tenant or such injured party with respect to such damage or injury are insufficient to satisfy same.
C.
If any claim, action or proceeding is made or brought against either party (the “Indemnified Party”), and pursuant to which claim, action or proceeding the other (the “Indemnifying Party”) shall be obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party, pursuant to the provisions contained in this Article or other provisions of this Lease (i) the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party prompt notice (each an “Indemnified Party Notice”) of such claim or action, (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall, at its sole cost and expense, resist or defend
183
such claim, action or proceeding in the Indemnified Party’s name, if necessary, with counsel selected by it, subject to the reasonable approval of Indemnified Party, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld but no approval of counsel shall be required in each and every instance where the claim is resisted or defended by counsel of an insurance carrier obligated so to resist or defend such claim.
If the Indemnified Party fails to give the Indemnified Party Notice within a time period so as not to prejudice the Indemnifying Party’s or its insurer’s ability to defend effectively any action or proceeding brought on such claim or if the Indemnified Party shall not afford the Indemnifying Party the right to defend and control the defense of any such action or proceeding and, in either of such events, the Indemnifying Party is adversely affected and prejudiced thereby, then the Indemnifying Party shall have no obligation under the applicable indemnity set forth in this Lease with respect to such action or proceeding. Any dispute as to whether Indemnified Party was adversely affected and/or prejudiced by any such failure shall be resolved by arbitration pursuant to Section 25.01 hereof. If the Indemnifying Party shall defend any such action or proceeding, then
(i)
the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party (or its insurer) in the defense of any such action or proceeding in such manner as the Indemnifying Party (or its insurer) may from time to time reasonably request and the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for the costs of any separate counsel employed by the Indemnified Party;
(ii)
except as hereinafter provided, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement made without the Indemnifying Party’s consent;
(iii)
if such action or proceeding can be settled by the payment of money and without the need to admit liability on the Indemnified Party’s part, then the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to settle such action or proceeding without the Indemnified Party’s consent and the Indemnifying Party shall have no obligation under the applicable indemnity set forth in this Lease with respect to such action or proceeding or other actions or proceedings involving the same or related facts if the Indemnified Party refuses to agree to such a settlement;
(iv)
if such action or proceeding cannot be settled merely by the payment of money and without the need to admit liability on the Indemnified Party’s part, then the Indemnifying Party shall not settle such action or proceeding without the Indemnified Party’s consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and if the Indemnified Party unreasonably withholds, conditions or delays its consent to any such settlement, then the Indemnifying Party shall have no obligation under the applicable indemnity set forth in this Lease with respect to such action or proceeding or other actions or proceedings involving the same or related facts;
(v)
notwithstanding the foregoing, an Indemnified Party may retain its own attorneys to defend or assist in defending any claim, action or proceeding
184
involving potential liability, as determined by the Indemnified Party in its sole discretion, of Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) or more, and the Indemnifying Party shall pay the reasonable fees and disbursements of such attorneys; and
(vi)
in no event shall the Indemnifying Party be liable for consequential, indirect or special damages.
B.
If an Indemnifying Party shall, in good faith, believe that a claim set forth in an Indemnified Party Notice is or may not be within the scope of the Indemnifying Party’s indemnity set forth in this Lease then, pending determination of that question, the Indemnifying Party shall not be deemed to be in default under this Lease by reason of its failure or refusal to indemnify and hold harmless any Indemnified Party therefrom or to pay such costs, expenses and liabilities, but if it shall be finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or by arbitration in accordance with Section 25.01 hereof that such claim was within the scope of such Indemnifying Party’s indemnity set forth in this Lease then such Indemnifying Party shall be liable for any judgment or reasonable settlement or any reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements incurred by the party entitled to indemnity hereunder.
C.
The provisions of this Section 16.07 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
16.08
A.
Each party hereby releases the other, Tenant hereby releases each Condominium Board and the other Superior Parties, and Landlord hereby agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Condominium Board and the other Superior Parties, to release Tenant with respect to any covered loss (including a claim for negligence, but excluding a claim based upon willful misconduct) which any of the foregoing might otherwise have against the other for loss, damage or destruction with respect to their respective property by fire or other covered peril (including rental value or business interruption) occurring during the Term to the extent to which any of the foregoing are insured under a policy containing a waiver of subrogation or permission for waiver.
B.
Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to the contrary, neither Landlord nor Tenant shall be liable to the other in connection with any matter arising from or relating to this Lease for any consequential, special or indirect damages.
C.
The provisions of this Section 16.08 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
16.09
Landlord shall keep the Unit (including Tenant’s Roof Top Space and the improvements thereon, but the allocable cost of such insurance shall be included in the RTS Operating Expenses [but Tenant shall be responsible for Tenant’s Property therein that is not a permanent fixture of the Building]) insured against property damage and other destruction with “cause of loss/special perils” insurance in the amount of the full replacement value of the Unit, as the value may exist from time to time (including Tenant’s Roof Top Space and the improvements thereon [but not the value of any Tenant’s Property therein that is not a permanent fixture of the Building]). Landlord shall maintain commercial general liability insurance against all claims for bodily injury, personal injury and property damage arising out of all operations in connection with the Building in the amount required by the Unit Ground Lease and any Superior
185
Mortgage. Such insurance policies shall comply with the requirements of the Unit Ground Lease and any Superior Mortgage. Each such policy shall contain provisions that no act or omission of Landlord (except for those acts or omissions normally excepted in policies regularly carried by prudent owners of Comparable Buildings) shall affect or limit the obligation of the insurer to pay the amount of any loss sustained and that the insurer shall provide Tenant with thirty (30) days’ prior notice, or ten (10) days’ prior notice in the event of cancellation for nonpayment of premium, before such policy shall be cancelled or modified in a way that materially affects the coverage of the insured thereunder. All insurance required to be maintained by Landlord hereunder may be effected pursuant to blanket policies covering other locations of Landlord or its Affiliates, provided that such blanket policies (a) provide that the amount of insurance allocable to the Unit 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 (b) shall comply with the provisions of this Section 16.09. Such insurance limits required by this Section 16.09 may be satisfied by excess policies.
ARTICLE 17
DAMAGE BY FIRE OR OTHER CAUSE
17.01
If the Demised Premises or the Unit or the Building shall be partially damaged by fire or other cause, then Landlord shall (except as otherwise provided herein) repair and restore (a) the Base Systems serving the Premises up to the point of connection to the Premises and the columns, beams, floor slabs, ceiling slabs and perimeter walls of the Premises and the curtain wall and foundation of the Building adjoining the Premises (exclusive of Tenant’s Roof Top Space) substantially in accordance with the Base Building Criteria therefore and (b) Tenant’s Roof Top Space (but not Tenant’s Property) substantially to the condition as existed immediately prior to such fire or casualty. Until the date (the “Casualty Abatement Period Expiration Date”) which (i) with respect to the repair and restoration obligations under clause (a) is the earlier to occur of (A) one hundred eighty (180) days after the date on which such repairs shall be Substantially Completed and (B) the date on which Tenant shall reoccupy such portion of the Demised Premises for the conduct of its business and (ii) with respect to the repair and restoration obligations under clause (b) above, the date upon which such repairs shall be Substantially Completed, the Fixed Rent and all Additional Rent shall be apportioned according to the part of the Demised Premises which is usable by Tenant for the conduct of its business in normal fashion (i.e., Tenant shall not be obligated to pay Fixed Rent and Additional Rent with respect only to the portion of the Demised Premises in which Tenant is unable to conduct business in normal fashion by reason of such fire or other cause). Landlord shall notify Tenant at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the date on which Landlord expects such repairs will be Substantially Completed (or such lesser period as may be equal to the estimated time period required for Landlord to perform such repairs). In the event that the Demised Premises or any portion thereof or the Building and/or the Unit (in such a manner that materially interferes with Tenant’s use of the Demised Premises or reasonable access thereto) shall be damaged by fire or casualty, within forty-five (45) days after such fire or other casualty (the “Trigger Date”), Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a statement (hereinafter referred to as the “Damage Statement”) prepared by a reputable, independent licensed architect or engineer or contractor having at least ten (10) years’ experience in such matters selected by Landlord setting forth such architect’s or engineer’s or contractor’s reasonable estimate as to the time required to repair such
186
damage, together with a notice from Landlord to the effect that if Tenant fails to respond to such notice within the thirty (30) day period described in the following sentence, then Tenant shall be deemed to have waived its rights to terminate this Lease pursuant to this Section 17.01. If Landlord shall continue to fail to deliver such Damage Statement within fifteen (15) days following notice from Tenant to Landlord of such failure, then Tenant may have such statement prepared by a reputable, independent licensed architect, engineer or contractor selected by Tenant setting forth such architect’s, engineer’s or contractor’s reasonable estimate as to the time required to repair such damage. If the estimated time period to perform such repairs extends beyond the date that is sixteen (16) months following the Trigger Date (as such period may be extended due to not more than two (2) months of Force Majeure delay, or due to Tenant Delay) (provided, however, if Landlord agrees to a lesser period of time in the corresponding provisions of any leases entered into during the Initial Lease-up Period for space in the High-Rise Floors, then the sixteen (16) month and/or two (2) month time periods set forth in this sentence shall be deemed to be amended (as applicable) to reflect such lesser of period of time), Tenant may elect, as its sole remedy, to terminate this Lease by notice to Landlord sent not later than thirty (30) days following receipt of the Damage Statement, time being of the essence with respect thereto. In the event that the Demised Premises shall be damaged by fire or other casualty, then in such event if the repair work is not Substantially Completed by Landlord within sixteen (16) months following the Trigger Date (as such period may be extended due to not more than two (2) months of Force Majeure delay, or due to Tenant Delay) (provided, however, if Landlord agrees to a lesser period of time in the corresponding provisions of any leases entered into during the Initial Lease-up Period for space in the High-Rise Floors, then the sixteen (16) month and/or two (2) month time periods set forth in this sentence shall be deemed to be amended (as applicable) to reflect such lesser of period of time) to such a degree that the Demised Premises are useable by Tenant (or such longer period as is set forth in the Damage Statement if Tenant does not terminate this Lease pursuant to the provisions set forth hereinabove), Tenant may elect, as its sole remedy, to terminate this Lease by notice to Landlord not later than thirty (30) days following the expiration of said period. If the Demised Premises are totally or substantially damaged or are rendered wholly or substantially untenantable or inaccessible by fire or other cause insured or required to be insured pursuant to this Lease, then the Fixed Rent and Additional Rent shall be proportionately paid up to the time of the casualty and thenceforth shall cease until the applicable Casualty Abatement Period Expiration Date, subject to Landlord’s right to elect not to restore the same as hereinafter provided. If the Building, Common Elements or the Unit shall be so damaged (whether or not the Demised Premises are damaged in whole or in part) that Landlord or the Condominium Board, as the case may be, shall decide to demolish it or not to rebuild it, and Landlord shall terminate leases for office space in the Unit affecting not less than sixty percent (60%) of the aggregate of RSF in the Unit exclusive of space leased or occupied by Landlord or an Affiliate of Landlord, then Landlord may, within sixty (60) days after such fire or other cause, give Tenant a notice of such decision and thereupon the Term of this Lease shall expire by lapse of time upon the tenth (10th) day after such notice is given, and Tenant shall promptly thereafter vacate the Demised Premises and surrender the same to Landlord in accordance with the terms of this Lease. Tenant hereby expressly waives the provision of Section 227 of the Real Property Law and agrees that the foregoing provision of this Article 17 shall govern and control in lieu thereof, this Article 17 being an express agreement.
17.02
Except for the abatement of Rent set forth in Section 17.01 hereof, no damage, compensation or claims shall be payable by Landlord for inconvenience, loss of
187
business or annoyance arising from any repair or restoration of any portion of the Demised Premises, the Unit or of the Building. Landlord shall use its reasonable and diligent efforts to effect the repairs required to be performed by Landlord under this Article promptly and in such a manner as not unreasonably to interfere with Tenant’s occupancy of the floors not affected by such damage or casualty (which reasonable efforts shall include coordination with Tenant in scheduling such repairs or restoration but which shall in no event obligate Landlord to pay overtime or other premium rates). Tenant may request Landlord to incur overtime costs provided that Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, within thirty (30) days after demand, an amount equal to the excess of (a) the overtime or other premium pay rates, including all fringe benefits and other elements of such pay rates, over (b) the regular pay rates for such labor, including all fringe benefits and other elements of such pay rates.
17.03
The parties hereto shall each procure and maintain in force and effect an appropriate clause in, or endorsement on, any property insurance covering the Demised Premises and the Building and/or the Unit and the personal property, fixtures and equipment located therein or thereon and any rent insurance carried by Landlord and any business interruption insurance carried by Tenant, pursuant to which the insurance companies waive subrogation. Provided that its right of full recovery under its insurance policies is not adversely affected thereby, each of the parties hereto hereby releases and will not make any claims against or seek to recover from the other for any loss or damage to its property resulting from fire or other hazards to the extent covered by such property or other insurance that each party is required hereunder to maintain or does otherwise maintain hereunder (or to the extent the same would have been covered if the parties hereunder were carrying all insurance required hereunder). The waiver of subrogation in this Section 17.03 shall extend to both Landlord Parties and Tenant Parties.
17.04
Tenant acknowledges that Landlord will not carry insurance on Tenant’s Property (including any Tenant’s Property located in Tenant’s Roof Top Space or, if leased by Tenant hereunder, the 51st Floor Space), or any Tenant Changes (including Tenant’s Initial Work and any Specialty Alterations) and Tenant agrees that Tenant shall be solely responsible to insure and shall insure the same in accordance with the provisions of this Lease and that Landlord will not be obligated to insure or repair any damage thereto or to replace the same. Tenant shall complete the repair and restoration of Tenant’s Initial Work, any Tenant Changes and Tenant’s Property within a reasonable period of time after the occurrence of the casualty and substantial completion of Landlord’s restoration obligations under this Article in accordance with the provisions of this Lease, including Article 13 hereof, subject to delays due to Force Majeure.
17.05
If more than twenty five percent (25%) of the Office Space or a substantial (i.e., more than fifty percent (50%)) portion of the Building shall be damaged by fire or other casualty during the last two (2) years of the Term of this Lease, Tenant may, upon thirty (30) days’ notice to Landlord, cancel and terminate this Lease as of the date set forth in such notice, as if such date were the then stated Expiration Date of this Lease and Landlord shall have no duty to repair and/or restore the Demised Premises.
17.06
In the event this Lease is terminated as provided in this Article 17, neither party shall have the duty to repair and/or restore the Demised Premises or any other part of the Building.
188
17.07
Notwithstanding anything in this Article 17 to the contrary, each Condominium Board, and not Landlord, subject to the provisions of Article 35 hereof, shall be responsible for all repairs to the Building, the Common Elements, the Unit and the Demised Premises which, pursuant to the Condominium Documents, such Condominium Board is required to repair and/or restore, but Landlord shall be obligated to enforce the obligations of the Condominium Board as set forth in Article 35 hereof.
17.08
Any dispute between Landlord and Tenant arising under this Article 17 shall be resolved by arbitration conducted in accordance with the provisions of Section 25.01 hereof and during the pendency of any such dispute, the then applicable time period(s) under this Article 17 shall be tolled.
18.01
In the event that the whole of the Demised Premises shall be condemned or taken in any manner by a Governmental Authority for any public or quasi public use, this Lease and the Term and estate hereby granted shall forthwith cease and terminate as of the date of vesting of title. In the event that only a part of the Demised Premises shall be so condemned or taken, then, effective as of the date of vesting of title, the Fixed Rent and any Additional Rent for such part shall be equitably abated and this Lease shall continue as to such part not so taken unless Tenant elects to cancel this Lease pursuant to its rights to do so under this Article 18. In the event that only a part of the Building shall be so condemned or taken, then (a) if substantial structural alteration or reconstruction of the Building and/or the Unit shall be necessary or appropriate as a result of such condemnation or taking (whether or not the Demised Premises be affected), Landlord or Tenant may (but only if the restoration cannot be completed within sixteen (16) months or such longer period as may be agreed upon by the parties) (subject to extension due to Force Majeure of not more than two (2) months or due to Tenant Delay; provided, however, if Landlord agrees to a lesser period of time in the corresponding provisions of any leases entered into during the Initial Lease-up Period for space in the High-Rise Floors, then the sixteen (16) month and/or two (2) month time periods set forth in this sentence shall be deemed to be amended (as applicable) to reflect such lesser of period of time)), at its option, elect to terminate this Lease and the Term and estate hereby granted as of the date of such vesting of title by notifying the other in writing of such termination within thirty (30) days following the date on which Landlord shall have received notice of vesting of title (provided that Landlord may not so terminate this Lease unless it terminates leases for office space in the Unit affecting not less than sixty percent (60%) of the aggregate of RSF in the Unit exclusive of space leased or occupied by Landlord or an Affiliate of Landlord), or (b) if this Lease is not terminated as aforesaid, this Lease shall be and remain unaffected by such condemnation or taking, except that the rent shall be abated to the extent, if any, hereinbefore provided. In the event that only a part of the Demised Premises shall be so condemned or taken and this Lease and the terms and estate hereby granted are not terminated as hereinbefore provided, Landlord will restore with reasonable diligence the remaining portions of the Demised Premises as nearly as practicable to the same condition as it was in prior to such condemnation or taking; it being agreed, however, that Landlord shall have no obligation to restore, repair or replace any Specialty Alteration or
189
Tenant’s Property nor, to the extent Tenant is compensated therefor pursuant to Section 18.03 or otherwise, any other Tenant Changes.
18.02
In the event of termination of this Lease pursuant to Section 18.01, this Lease and the Term and estate hereby granted shall expire as of the vesting of title in the condemning authority the same effect as if that were the date hereinbefore set for the expiration of the Term of this Lease, and the rent hereunder shall be apportioned as of such date.
18.03
In the event of any condemnation or taking hereinabove mentioned of all or a part of the Unit, Landlord shall be entitled to receive the entire award in the condemnation proceeding, including any award made for the value of the estate vested by this Lease in Tenant, and Tenant hereby expressly assigns to Landlord any and all right, title and interest of Tenant now or hereafter arising in or to any such award or any part thereof, and Tenant shall be entitled to receive no part of such award. Tenant shall have no claim for the value of any unexpired Term of this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in any taking or condemnation proceeding, Tenant may submit a separate claim against the condemning authority for any compensation to which Tenant may otherwise lawfully be entitled in such case in respect of Tenant’s Property, the unamortized cost of all Tenant Changes made by Tenant to the Demised Premises at Tenant’s expense during the Term, any increased rent which Tenant is (or would be) required to pay for new space, moving expenses and the unamortized cost of all Tenant Changes for which Tenant was reimbursed by any work allowance provided by Landlord to Tenant which shall have been repaid to Landlord through the payment of Fixed Rent by Tenant (for purposes solely of determining the portion of any such work allowance which shall have been so repaid, work allowances shall be deemed to be amortized on a straight-line basis during the period commencing on the Rent Commencement Date for the applicable space and ending on the last day of the initial Term (or, if such work allowance is provided by Landlord during any renewal term, the last day of such renewal term), so that each Fixed Rent payment made by Tenant during such period shall include an equal amount of such work allowance), provided such award shall be made by the condemning authority in addition to, and shall not result in any reduction or diminution whatsoever of the award made by it to Landlord. If Tenant shall not be permitted to make a separate claim in such proceeding, Landlord shall prosecute all claims in such proceeding on behalf of both Landlord and Tenant, in which event Tenant, at its sole cost and expense may, if it so elects, join with Landlord in such proceeding, retain co-counsel, attend hearings, present arguments and generally participate in the conduct of the proceeding.
18.04
If the temporary use or occupancy of all or any part of the Premises shall be taken by condemnation or in any other manner for any public or quasi public use or purpose during the Term of this Lease, Tenant shall be entitled, except as hereinafter set forth, to receive that portion of the award or payment for such taking which represents compensation for the use and occupancy of the Premises, for the taking of Tenant’s Property and for moving expenses, and Landlord shall be entitled to receive that portion which represents reimbursement for the cost of restoration of the Premises. This Lease shall be and remain unaffected by such taking and Tenant shall continue to be responsible for all of its obligations hereunder insofar as such obligations are not affected by such taking and shall continue to pay in full the Fixed Rent and Additional Rent when due. If the period of temporary use or occupancy shall extend beyond the Expiration Date of this Lease, that part of the award which represents compensation for the use and occupancy of the Premises (or a part thereof) shall be divided between Landlord and Tenant
190
so that Tenant shall receive so much thereof as represents the period up to and including such Expiration Date and Landlord shall receive so much thereof as represents the period after such Expiration Date. All monies paid as, or as part of, an award for temporary use and occupancy for a period beyond the date to which the Fixed Rent and Additional Rent have been paid shall be received, held and applied by Landlord as a trust fund for payment of the Fixed Rent and Additional Rent becoming due hereunder.
18.05
If (a) more than twenty five percent (25%) of the Office Space or a substantial (i.e., more than fifty percent (50%) portion of the Building shall be taken in condemnation during the last two (2) years of the Term of this Lease or (b) the portion of the Demised Premises which is condemned or taken exceeds fifteen percent (15%) of the RSF of the Demised Premises, Tenant shall have the right to cancel this Lease by delivering to Landlord notice within thirty (30) days of said condemnation or taking.
18.06
In the event this Lease is terminated as provided in this Article 18, neither party shall have the duty to repair and/or restore the Demised Premises or any other part of the Building.
18.07
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 18, each Condominium Board, and not Landlord, subject to the provisions of Article 35 hereof, shall be responsible for all repairs to the Building, the Common Elements, the Unit and the Demised Premises which, pursuant to the Condominium Documents, such Condominium Board is required to repair and/or restore, but Landlord shall be obligated to enforce the obligations of the Condominium Board as set forth in Article 35 hereof.
19.01
To the extent allowable under the Bankruptcy Code and other applicable Legal Requirements (collectively, “Bankruptcy Requirements”) if, at any time prior to the date herein fixed as the Commencement Date, a Bankruptcy Event shall occur, this Lease shall be cancelled and terminated, in which event neither Tenant nor any person claiming through or under Tenant or by virtue of any statute or of an order of any court shall be entitled to possession of the Demised Premises and Landlord, in addition to the other rights and remedies given by Section 19.03 hereof and by virtue of any other provision herein or elsewhere in this Lease contained or by virtue of any statute or rule of law, may retain as liquidated damages any rent, security, deposit or monies received by it from Tenant or others on behalf of Tenant upon the execution hereof.
19.02
To the extent allowable under the Bankruptcy Requirements, if at the date fixed as the Commencement Date or if at any time during the Term a Bankruptcy Event shall occur, this Lease, at the option of Landlord, exercised within a reasonable time after notice of the happening of any one or more of such events, may be cancelled and terminated, in which event neither Tenant nor any person claiming through or under Tenant by virtue of any statute or of an order of any court shall be entitled to possession or to remain in possession of the Demised Premises but shall forthwith quit and surrender the Demised Premises.
191
19.03
To the extent allowable under the Bankruptcy Requirements, it is stipulated and agreed that in the event of the termination of this Lease pursuant to Sections 19.01 or 19.02 hereof, Landlord shall forthwith, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Lease to the contrary, be entitled to recover from Tenant as and for liquidated damages an amount equal to the difference between the rent reserved hereunder for the unexpired portion of the Term demised and the then fair and reasonable rental value of the Demised Premises for the same period. To the extent allowable under the Bankruptcy Requirements, in the computation of such damages, the difference between any installment of rent becoming due hereunder after the date of termination and the fair and reasonable rental value of the Demised Premises for the period for which such installment was payable shall be discounted to the date of termination at the rate of the Prime Rate minus two percent (2%) per annum. If the Demised Premises or any part thereof be re-let by Landlord for the unexpired Term of this Lease, or any part thereof, before presentation of proof of such liquidated damages to any court, commission or tribunal, to the extent allowable under the Bankruptcy Requirements, 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 Demised Premises so re-let during the term of the re-letting. Nothing herein contained shall limit or prejudice the right of Landlord to prove for and obtain as liquidated damages by reason of such termination, an amount equal to the maximum allowed by the Bankruptcy Requirements governing the proceedings in which, such damages are to be proved, whether or not such amount be greater, equal to or less than the amount of the difference referred to above.
19.04
Without limiting any of the foregoing provisions of this Article, if pursuant to the Bankruptcy Requirements, Tenant is permitted to assign or otherwise transfer this Lease (whether in whole or in part in disregard of the restrictions contained in this Article and/or Article 8), Tenant agrees that adequate assurance of future performance by the assignee or transferee permitted under the Bankruptcy Requirements shall mean, to the extent allowable under the Bankruptcy Requirements, the deposit of cash security with Landlord in an amount equal to the sum of one year’s Fixed Rent then reserved hereunder plus an amount equal to all Additional Rent payable under Articles 4, 6 and 7 hereof or other provisions of this Lease for the calendar year preceding the year in which such assignment is intended to become effective, which deposit shall be held by Landlord, without interest, for the balance of the Term as a security for the full and faithful performance of all of the obligations under this Lease on the part of Tenant yet to be performed. To the extent allowable under the Bankruptcy Requirements, if Tenant receives or is to receive any valuable consideration for such an assignment or transfer (in part or in whole) of this Lease, such consideration, after deducting therefrom any portion of such consideration reasonably designated by the assignee or transferee as paid for the purchase of Tenant’s Property in the Demised Premises, shall be and become the sole exclusive property of Landlord and shall be paid over to Landlord directly by such assignee or transferee. Any such assignee or transferee may only use and occupy the Demised Premises as permitted under Article 5 hereof and such occupancy may not increase the number of individuals occupying the Demised Premises at the time a petition for bankruptcy (or reorganization) is filed by or against Tenant. In addition, to the extent allowable under the Bankruptcy Requirements adequate assurance shall mean that any such assignee or transferee of this Lease shall have a net worth (exclusive of good will and general intangibles) in accordance with GAAP equal to at least ten (10) times the aggregate of the annual Fixed Rent reserved hereunder plus all Additional Rent for the preceding
192
calendar year as aforesaid. Such assignee or transferee shall expressly assume this Lease by an agreement in recordable form and reasonable acceptable to Landlord.
19.05
To the extent allowable under the Bankruptcy Requirements, all amounts payable by Tenant to or on behalf of Landlord under this Lease, whether or not expressly denominated Fixed Rent, Additional Rent or Rent, shall constitute rent for the purposes of Section 502(b)(7) of the Bankruptcy Code.
ARTICLE 20
DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES; WAIVER OF REDEMPTION
20.01
A.
This Lease and the estate and the term hereby granted are subject to the limitation that if (i) Tenant shall default in the payment of the Fixed Rent reserved herein or any item of Recurring Additional Rent or any part of either, for a period of ten (10) days after notice to Tenant of such default; (ii) Tenant shall default in the payment of any other Additional Rent or any other payment herein provided for more than ten (10) Business Days after notice from Landlord of such default; (iii) Tenant defaults in fulfilling any of the covenants of this Lease, other than the covenants for the payment of Fixed Rent or Additional Rent or other enumerated defaults in this Section 20.01A, then, in any one or more of such events, upon Landlord serving a written thirty (30) days’ notice upon Tenant specifying the nature of said default, and upon the expiration of said thirty (30) days, if Tenant shall have failed to comply with or remedy such default, or if the said default or omission complained of shall be of such a nature that the same cannot be completely cured or remedied within said thirty (30) day period, and if Tenant shall not have diligently commenced curing such default within said thirty (30) day period, and shall not thereafter with reasonable diligence and in good faith proceed to remedy or cure such default; and/or (iv) Tenant shall fail to pay the monthly installment of Fixed Rent or Recurring Additional Rent, more than four (4) times in any period of twelve (12) months by the later of (a) the tenth (10th) day of the month or (b) three (3) Business Days after Landlord provides notice that such installment was not received; then in any of said events Landlord may give to Tenant notice of intention to terminate this Lease to end the Term and the estate hereby granted at the expiration of five (5) Business Days from the date of the giving of such notice, and, in the event such notice is given, this Lease and the Term and estate hereby granted (whether or not the Term shall have commenced) shall terminate upon the expiration of said five (5) Business Days with the same effect as if that day were the Expiration Date, but Tenant shall remain liable for damages as hereinafter provided in this Article 20. Landlord agrees that any notice of default required to be delivered under clauses (i), (ii), (iii), or (iv) above shall (ii) specify the applicable default, (iii) if monetary in nature, specify the amount required to be paid to cure such default, (iv) if non-monetary in nature, specify the action required to be taken to cure such non-monetary default and (v) state on the first page of such notice in capital, bold face letters “NOTICE OF DEFAULT”.
B.
Nothing in Section 20.01A shall be deemed to require Landlord to give any further notice in addition to the notices, if any required under such Section prior to the commencement of a summary proceeding for nonpayment of rent or a plenary action for the recovery of rent on account of any default in the payment of the same; it being intended that such notices are for the sole purpose of creating a conditional limitation hereunder pursuant to which
193
this Lease shall terminate, and if Tenant thereafter remains in possession or occupancy, it shall become a holdover tenant.
20.02
If this Lease and the Term shall terminate as provided in Section 20.01A hereof:
(i)
Landlord and Landlord’s agents, employees, contractors and/or subcontractors may at any time after the Term shall terminate, re-enter the Premises or any part thereof, without further notice (other than the notices provided for in Section 20.01A hereof), either by summary proceedings or by any other applicable action or proceeding permitted by law and/or (but only to the extent permitted by applicable law) by forcible entry, changing of locks, removal of Tenant’s Property and/or other “self-help” remedies (without being liable to indictment, prosecution or damages therefor), and may repossess the Demised Premises and dispossess Tenant and any other persons from the Demised Premises and thereafter remove any and all of its or their property and effects from the Demised Premises, without Landlord incurring any liability to Tenant on account thereof, to the end that Landlord may have, hold and enjoy the Demised Premises and in no event shall re-entry be deemed an acceptance of surrender of this Lease; and
(ii)
Landlord, at its option, may relet the whole or any part or parts of the Demised Premises from time to time, either in the name of Landlord or otherwise, to such tenant or tenants, for such term or terms ending before, on or after the Expiration Date, at such rental or rentals and upon such other terms and conditions, which may include concessions and free rent periods, as Landlord, in its sole discretion, may determine. Landlord shall have no obligation to relet the Demised Premises or any part thereof and Landlord shall not have liability to Tenant for refusal or failure to relet the Demised Premises or any part thereof or, in the event of such reletting, refusal or failure to collect any rent upon any such reletting, and no such refusal or failure shall operate to relieve Tenant of any liability under this Lease or otherwise to affect any such liability. Landlord, at Landlord’s option, may make such repairs, alterations, additions, decorations and other physical changes in and to the Demised Premises as Landlord, in its sole discretion, considers advisable or necessary in connection with any such reletting or proposed reletting, without relieving Tenant of any liability under this Lease or otherwise affecting any such liability.
20.03
Tenant, on its own behalf and on behalf of all persons claiming by, through or under Tenant, including all creditors, does, to the fullest extent permitted by law, hereby expressly waive any and all rights which Tenant and all such persons might otherwise have to (a) the service of any notice of intention to re-enter or to institute legal proceedings to that end (except for any notices expressly provided for in this Lease, including, without limitation, this Article 20), (b) redeem the Demised Premises or any interest therein, (c) re-enter or repossess the Demised Premises, or (d) restore the operation of this Lease, after Tenant shall have been dispossessed by a judgment or by a warrant of any court or judge, or after any re-entry by Landlord, or after any termination of this Lease, whether such dispossess, re-entry by
194
Landlord 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.
20.04
In the event of any breach or threatened breach by Tenant or Landlord hereunder or by any Person claiming through or Tenant or Landlord, as the case may be, of any term, covenant or condition of this Lease, the other party shall have the right to enjoin such breach or threatened breach or, subject to the limitations contained herein, to invoke any other right or remedy allowed by law or in equity.
20.05
If this Lease shall terminate as provided in Section 20.01A or by or under any summary proceeding, or any other action or proceeding, then, in any of said events:
(a)
Tenant shall pay to Landlord all Rents to the date upon which this Lease shall have been terminated or to the date of re-entry upon the Demised Premises by Landlord, as the case may be;
(b)
Landlord shall be entitled to retain all monies, if any, paid by Tenant to Landlord, whether as advance rent, security or otherwise, but such monies shall be credited by Landlord against any Rents due at the time of such termination or re-entry (in such order and in such amounts as Landlord shall elect in its sole discretion) or, at Landlord’s option, against any damages payable by Tenant and, after all such Rents and damages have been paid in full, any remainder shall be returned to Tenant.
(c)
Tenant shall be liable for and shall pay to Landlord, as damages, any deficiency between the Rents payable hereunder for the period which otherwise would have constituted the unexpired portion of the Term (conclusively presuming the Recurring Additional Rent and Electricity Additional Rent to be the same as payable for the year immediately preceding such termination or re-entry on an annualized basis if such Additional Rent was not paid for a full year) and the net amount if any of Rents (“Net Rent”) collected under any reletting effected pursuant to the provisions of Section 20.02A(ii) hereof for any part of such period (first deducting from the Rents collected under any such reletting all of Landlord’s costs and expenses in connection with the termination of this Lease or Landlord’s re-entry upon the Demised Premises and in connection with such reletting, including, without limitation, repossession costs, brokerage commissions, legal expenses, alteration costs and other expenses of preparing the Demised Premises for such reletting).
(d)
Any deficiency in accordance with subsection (c) above shall be paid in monthly installments by Tenant on the days specified in this Lease for the payment of installments of Fixed Rent. Landlord shall be entitled to recover from Tenant each monthly deficiency 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 prior or subsequent month by a similar proceeding. Alternatively, suit or suits for the recovery of such deficiencies may be brought by Landlord from time to time at its election.
(e)
If Tenant shall fail to pay to Landlord any amount referenced in subsection (c) or (d) above on the date when the sum shall be due or in lieu thereof, then, without further notice to Tenant and whether or not Landlord shall have collected any monthly
195
deficiencies as aforesaid, Landlord, at its option, shall be entitled to recover from Tenant, and Tenant shall pay Landlord, on demand, as and for liquidated and agreed final damages and not as a penalty, a sum equal to the amount by which the Rents for the period to the then stated Expiration Date from the latest of the date of termination of this Lease or the date through which monthly deficiencies shall have been paid in full (conclusively presuming Recurring Additional Rent and Electricity Additional Rent to be the same as payable for the year immediately preceding such termination or re-entry on an annualized basis if such Additional Rent was not paid for a full year) exceeds the then fair and reasonable rental value of the Demised Premises for the same period, both discounted at the Prime Rate minus two percent (2%) per annum to present worth.
(f)
In no event shall Tenant be entitled (i) to receive any excess of any Net Rent under subsection (c) over the sums payable by Tenant to Landlord hereunder or (ii) in any suit for the collection of damages pursuant to this Section, to a credit in respect of any Net Rent from a reletting except to the extent that such Net Rent is actually received by Landlord prior to the commencement of such suit. If the Demised Premises or any part thereof should be relet in combination with other space or for a term that extends beyond the then stated Expiration Date, then proper apportionment (on a per square foot rentable area basis in the case of a reletting in combination with other space outside of the Demised Premises) shall be made of the rent received from such reletting and of the expenses of reletting.
20.06
A.
If this Lease be terminated as provided in Section 20.01A or by or under any summary proceeding or any other action or proceeding, Tenant covenants and agrees, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease:
(i)
that the Demised Premises shall be required to be in the same condition as that in which Tenant has agreed to surrender the Demised Premises to Landlord on the Expiration Date;
(ii)
that Tenant, on or before the occurrence of any event of default hereunder, shall have performed every covenant contained in this Lease relating to the making of any Tenant Changes to the Demised Premises or for repairing any part of the Demised Premises; and
(iii)
that, for the breach of either subsection (i) or (ii) of this Section 20.06A, or both, Landlord shall be entitled, without limiting any other damages payable by Tenant hereunder, to recover, and Tenant shall pay, as and for agreed damages therefor, the then cost of performing such covenants, plus interest thereon at the Interest Rate for the period between the date of the occurrence of any default and the date when any such work or act, the cost of which is computed, should have been performed under the other terms of this Lease had such default not occurred.
B.
Each and every covenant contained in this Section shall be deemed separate and independent, and not dependent on any other term of this Lease for the use and occupation of the Demised Premises by Tenant, and the performance of any such term shall not be considered to be rent or other payment for the use of the Demised Premises. It is understood
196
that the consideration for the covenants in this Section is the making of this Lease, and the damages for failure to perform the same shall be in addition to and separate and independent of the damages accruing by reason of default in observing any other term of this Lease.
20.07
Except as set forth in Section 16.08B hereof, nothing herein contained shall be construed as limiting or precluding the recovery by Landlord against Tenant of any sums or damages to which, in addition to the damages particularly provided above, Landlord may lawfully be entitled by reason of any default hereunder on the part of Tenant.
20.08
Each right and remedy provided for in this Lease shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other right provided for in this Lease or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity (including, without limitation, the equitable remedies of specific performance and injunctive relief), by statute or otherwise, and the exercise or beginning of the exercise by a party of any one or more of such rights shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by such party of any or all other rights provided for in this Lease or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity, by statute or otherwise.
20.09
The provisions of this Article 20 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
ARTICLE 21
COVENANT OF QUIET ENJOYMENT
21.01
So long as this Lease is in full force and effect, Landlord covenants and agrees with Tenant that Tenant may peaceably and quietly enjoy the premises hereby demised, subject, nevertheless, to the terms and conditions of this Lease and any SNDA Agreement with any Superior Party.
ARTICLE 22
SURRENDER OF PREMISES
22.01
Upon the expiration or other termination of the Term of this Lease, Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, quit, surrender, vacate and deliver the Demised Premises to Landlord broom clean and in good order, condition and repair except for ordinary wear, tear and damage by fire or other casualty and condemnation, together with all Tenant Changes (except as otherwise provided for in this Lease and subject to Tenant’s obligation to remove any Specialty Alteration, Hazardous Materials and other items pursuant to the terms hereof) and shall remove all Tenant’s Property therefrom.
22.02
A.
Tenant acknowledges that possession of the Demised Premises must be surrendered to Landlord at the expiration or sooner termination of the Term hereof. The parties recognize and agree that the damages to Landlord resulting from any failure by Tenant timely to surrender possession of the Demised Premises as aforesaid will be substantial and may be impossible accurately to measure. Tenant desires to limit and liquidate said amounts and therefore agrees that if possession of the Demised Premises is not surrendered to Landlord upon the expiration or sooner termination of the Term of this Lease, then notwithstanding anything to
197
the contrary contained in this Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord for each month and for each portion of any month during which Tenant holds over in the Demised Premises after the expiration or sooner termination of the Term hereof, for use and occupancy, the aggregate sum of (i) the greater of (A) 150% for the first sixty (60) days of such holding over, 175% for the next sixty (60) days and 200% thereafter, of the amount of the installment of the annual Fixed Rent that was payable under this Lease for the last month of the Term hereof and (B) the fair market rental value of the Demised Premises as of the date of such holdover, plus (ii) one-twelfth (1/12) of all items of Recurring Additional Rent which would have been payable monthly pursuant to this Lease had its Term not expired or been terminated (it being agreed that for the purposes of this Section 22.02A, if all or part of such holdover occurs after the Scheduled PILOT Conversion Date, references to PILOT in Section 4.02 hereof shall be deemed to mean Full Taxes for the period after the Scheduled PILOT Conversion Date), plus (iii) those other items of Additional Rent which would have been payable pursuant to this Lease had its Term not expired or been terminated which aggregate sum Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord on demand, in full without setoff, and no extension or renewal of this Lease shall be deemed to have occurred by such holding over, nor shall Landlord be precluded by accepting such aggregate sum for use and occupancy from exercising all rights and remedies available to it to obtain possession of the Demised Premises.
B.
The acceptance by Landlord of any such use and occupancy payment by Tenant pursuant to this subsection shall in no event preclude Landlord from commencing and prosecuting a holdover or summary eviction proceeding, and the provisions of this Section shall be deemed be an “agreement expressly providing otherwise” within the meaning of Section 232-c of the Real Property Law of the State of New York and any successor or similar law of like import. Nothing contained in this Section shall (i) imply any right of Tenant to remain in the Premises after the Expiration Date without the execution of a new lease, (ii) imply any obligation of Landlord to grant a new lease or (iii) be construed to limit any right or remedy that Landlord has against Tenant as a holdover tenant or trespasser.
C.
Tenant’s obligation under this Article shall survive the expiration or other termination of this Lease.
ARTICLE 23
DEFINITION OF LANDLORD
23.01
Subject to the other terms of this Lease, the term “Landlord” wherever used in this Lease shall be limited to mean and include only the tenant under the Unit Ground Lease, to whom this Lease may be assigned, or a mortgagee in possession, so that in the event of any sale, assignment or transfer of the Unit, or Landlord’s interest as a lessee under the Unit Ground Lease, in each case, such owner, tenant under the Unit Ground Lease or mortgagee in possession shall thereupon be released and discharged from all covenants, conditions and agreements of Landlord hereunder arising from and after the effective date of such sale, assignment or transfer; but such covenants, conditions and agreements arising from and after the effective date of such sale, assignment or transfer shall be deemed assumed by and binding upon each new owner, tenant under the Unit Ground Lease, or mortgagee in possession for the time being of the Unit, until sold, assigned or transferred.
198
24.01
Any notice, statement, demand, consent, approval or other communication required or permitted to be given, rendered or made by either party pursuant to this Lease or pursuant to any Legal Requirement (collectively, “notices”) shall be in writing (whether or not so stated elsewhere in this Lease unless a specific provision provides the same may be oral) and shall be deemed to have been properly given, rendered or made only if sent by (a) registered or certified mail return receipt requested, posted in a United States post office station or letter box in the continental United States, (b) by a nationally recognized overnight courier (e.g., Federal Express) with receipt acknowledged or (c) by personal delivery with receipt acknowledged, to Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be, at the address of such party set forth below:

Landlord agrees that all notices sent hereunder by Landlord to Tenant which relate to (a) matters of default, but excluding rent demands as a predicate for a non-payment of rent proceeding, or lease compliance, but specifically excluding notices regarding increases in escalations, or (b) termination of this Lease or the exercise by Landlord of its rights, remedies, privileges or powers, shall also be sent in the manner permitted hereunder to Skadden, Arps, Slate, Xxxxxxx & Xxxx LLP, Four Times Square, New York, New York 10036-6522, Attention: Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxx, Esq.
24.03
Any notice shall be deemed to have been given, rendered or made on the day received, or if receipt is refused, on the date so refused. Either party may, by notice as aforesaid, designate a different address or addresses for notices intended for it.
24.04
Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 24.01 hereof (a) notices requesting any after hours air-conditioning service may be given in writing by personal and actual delivery to the Building manager or any other person in the Building duly designated by Landlord to receive such notices, and (b) notices given by Landlord with respect to changes in Taxes, the RTS Taxes, BID Assessments, Tenant’s Estimated Operating Expense Payment, Tenant’s Estimated Tax Payment and/or Tenant’s Estimated BID Payment and all other rent bills, as well as other routine, nonmaterial communications and correspondence, may be delivered by hand or ordinary United States mail to Tenant only at its address stated in Section 24.01 hereof.
200
24.05
Notices hereunder from Landlord may be given by Landlord’s managing agent or Landlord’s attorney. Notices hereunder from Tenant may be given by Tenant’s attorney.
25.01
A.
In any instance where this Lease expressly provides, or the parties otherwise agree, that a dispute with respect to a specific matter may be submitted to arbitration, but excluding any arbitration pursuant to which the provisions of Section 25.01B or Section 25.02 hereof applies, then either party may submit such dispute for resolution by arbitration in the City of New York in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules (Expedited Procedures) of the AAA, except that the terms of this Section 25.01A shall supersede any conflicting or otherwise inconsistent rules. Any dispute permitted to be arbitrated under this Section 25.01A shall be submitted to arbitration not later than thirty (30) days after the parties have been unable to resolve such dispute (it being agreed that if there has been no resolution of the disputed matter for a period of thirty (30) days (or such other period that may be set forth in the express provisions of this Lease) the parties shall be deemed to have been unable to resolve such dispute). Provided the rules and regulations of the AAA so permit, (i) the AAA shall, within two (2) Business Days after such submission or application, select a single arbitrator having at least ten (10) years’ experience in leasing and management of commercial properties similar to the Building, (ii) the arbitration shall commence two (2) Business Days thereafter and shall be limited to a total of seven (7) hours on the date of commencement until completion, with each party having no more than a total of two (2) hours to present its case and to cross-examine or interrogate persons supplying information or documentation on behalf of the other party, and (iii) the arbitrator shall make a determination within three (3) Business Days after the conclusion of the presentation of Landlord’s and Tenant’s cases, which determination shall be limited to a decision upon (A) if the matter in dispute involves a question of the reasonableness of a decision in which Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be, specifically agreed that it would not be unreasonable, whether Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be, acted reasonably in withholding its consent or approval, or (B) the specific dispute permitted to be presented to the arbitrator, as applicable. The arbitrator’s determination shall be final and binding upon the parties, whether or not a judgment shall be entered in any court. All actions necessary to implement such decision shall be undertaken as soon as possible, but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days after the rendering of such decision. The arbitrator’s determination may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. All fees payable to the AAA for services rendered in connection with the resolution of a dispute under this Section 25.01A shall be paid by the unsuccessful party.
B.
In the case of any arbitration of fair market rental value under Article 38 or Article 39 hereof, the parties shall give the notices as required under Section 38.06 or Section 39.05 hereof, as the case may be. Within ten (10) days after said notice is given by either party, if the second party fails to notify the first party of the appointment of its arbitrator and the basis for the annual fair market rental value as provided in said Sections, then the appointment of the second arbitrator shall be made in the same manner as hereinafter provided for the appointment of a third arbitrator. The arbitrators so chosen shall meet within ten (10) days after the second
201
arbitrator is appointed and within thirty (30) days thereafter shall decide the dispute. If within said period they cannot agree upon their decision, they shall appoint a third arbitrator and if they cannot agree upon said appointment, then the third arbitrator shall be appointed upon their application or upon the application of either party, by the AAA. The three arbitrators shall meet and decide the dispute. The arbitrators so specified in such notices shall be licensed real estate brokers or appraisers doing business in the Borough of Manhattan, City and State of New York, and having not less than ten (10) years’ active experience as real estate brokers of office space or appraisers of first class office buildings and leased office space in said Borough. The third arbitrator shall be required to select either the annual fair market rental value proposed by Landlord or the annual fair market rental value proposed by Tenant in their respective arbitration notices based on which rental value they determine is closer to the actual annual fair market rental value based upon all relevant factors. In designating arbitrators and in deciding the dispute, the arbitrators shall act in accordance with the rules then in force of the AAA, subject, however, to such limitations as may be placed upon them by the provisions of this Lease. Judgment may be had on the decision and award of the arbitrators so rendered in any court.
C.
The arbitrator(s) conducting any arbitration shall be bound by the provisions of this Lease and shall not have the power to add to, subtract from, or otherwise modify such provisions. Landlord and Tenant agree to sign all documents and to do all other things reasonably necessary to submit any such matter to arbitration and further agree to, and hereby do, waive any and all rights they or either of them may at any time have to revoke their agreement hereunder to submit to arbitration and to abide by the decision rendered thereunder which shall be binding and conclusive on the parties and shall constitute an “award” by the arbitrator(s) within the meaning of the AAA rules and applicable law. Judgment may be had on the decision and award of the arbitrator(s) so rendered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Each arbitrator shall be a qualified, disinterested and impartial person who shall have had at least ten (10) years’ experience in New York City in a calling connected with the matter of the dispute. Landlord and Tenant shall each have the right to appear and be represented by counsel before said arbitrator(s) and to submit such data and memoranda in support of their respective positions in the matter in dispute as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate in the circumstances. Each party hereunder shall pay its own costs, fees and expenses in connection with any arbitration or other action or proceeding brought under Section 25.01, and, except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 25.01A hereof, the expenses and fees of the arbitrator selected shall be shared equally by Landlord and Tenant (provided, however, that where the arbitration is conducted by three (3) arbitrators pursuant to the terms of this Lease, each party shall pay the expenses and fees of its designee and share equally the expenses and fees of the third arbitrator).
D.
Notwithstanding any contrary provisions contained herein, Landlord and Tenant agree that except with respect to a successful claim by one party that the other party has unreasonably withheld its consent in an arbitrary or capricious manner, (i) the arbitrators may not award or recommend any damages to be paid by either party and (ii) in no event shall either party be liable for, nor be entitled to recover, any damages.
E.
The time periods set forth in this Section 25.01 are of the essence. If any party fails to appear at a duly scheduled and noticed hearing, the arbitrator is hereby expressly authorized (but not directed) to enter judgment for the appearing party.
202
25.02
A.
Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 25.01, if Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree (i) whether any of the Initial Delivery Conditions, the Interim Delivery Conditions, the Occupancy Date Delivery Conditions, the Post-Delivery Conditions and/or the RTS Ready for Occupancy Conditions have been satisfied and/or (ii) whether a Tenant Delay or Landlord Delay has occurred and such dispute has been referred to arbitration pursuant to this Section 25.02 or in any other instance where there is a dispute regarding Tenant’s Initial Work, the RTS Build-Out Work or any other matter under Article 13 hereof or this Lease otherwise provides that the dispute is to be resolved pursuant to Section 25.02, and only in such cases, the dispute shall be resolved by arbitration conducted in The City of New York, County of New York (and not by litigation), in accordance with the provisions of this Section 25.02, and judgment upon the award rendered may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
B.
The party hereto desiring to arbitrate a dispute pursuant to this Section 25.02 shall give notice (a “Dispute Notice”) to that effect to the other party, and such dispute shall be presented for resolution to the first available arbitrator set forth on the list below. In the event the arbitrator listed first is not available or is unwilling to serve, the arbitrator next set forth on the list shall be engaged, and so on, until arriving at an available arbitrator:

Except during the pendency of an arbitration proceeding pursuant to this Section 25.02, Tenant and Landlord may each, by written notice to the other, disqualify any of the listed arbitrators for any reason whatsoever and propose additional arbitrators to be added to the list to be agreed upon in accordance with the provisions of the immediately following paragraph. The remaining arbitrators shall move up on the list to fill any vacancies so created.
203
The arbitrator serving to resolve any dispute hereunder is hereinafter referred to as the “Arbitrator.”
D.
If any of the named arbitrators dies, goes out of business, is disqualified by Landlord or Tenant pursuant to this Section 25.02D or otherwise, or elects to withdraw from the list, then Landlord and Tenant shall agree on a replacement within twenty (20) days after notice thereof. If Landlord and Tenant fail to so agree, each, within five (5) days after such twenty (20) day period, shall designate one (1) of the remaining arbitrators and the two (2) arbitrators so chosen shall appoint a replacement within twenty (20) days thereafter. All newly chosen arbitrators shall be placed at the bottom of the list of potential arbitrators.
E.
Within two (2) Business Days after the Dispute Notice has been delivered, both parties shall make whatever presentations they wish to the Arbitrator, including, without limitation, the submission of photographs taken at the time of any applicable Walk-Through Date, RTS Walk-Through Date or other inspection and the applicable portions of the construction manager’s daily log book. Immediately thereafter, the Arbitrator shall attempt to cause Landlord and Tenant to agree on a resolution to the dispute and, failing that, the Arbitrator shall immediately make its decision. The Arbitrator’s decision may be made orally provided the Arbitrator confirms such decision in writing within two (2) Business Days thereafter. Copies of the Arbitrator’s decision shall be sent to Landlord and to Tenant and shall be binding on both. Any costs incurred by or payable to the Arbitrator in any such proceeding shall be paid by the party which does not prevail or as shall be determined by the Arbitrator, and each party shall bear the costs and expenses of its own attorneys and other experts. The Arbitrator shall have no power to vary or modify any of the provisions of this Lease, and his or her powers and jurisdiction are hereby limited accordingly. During the consideration of any issue by the Arbitrator pursuant to this Section 25.02, Tenant and Landlord shall observe and perform each and every one of its obligations hereunder, including, without limitation, the obligation to pay timely all Rent that may be or become due or payable hereunder. Any construction lender of Landlord, or such lender’s representative, shall have the right to attend any and all arbitration proceedings conducted pursuant to this Section 25.02 for the purpose of observing such proceedings; provided, however, that such lender shall have no right to participate in any way in any such proceeding.
25.03
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, the parties shall have no right to arbitrate any matters relating to the application of DUO to the Demised Premises nor the interpretation thereof.
ARTICLE 26
RULES AND REGULATIONS
26.01
Tenant, its servants, employees, agents, subtenants, Permitted Occupants and other licensees shall comply with the Rules and Regulations attached hereto as Exhibit 26.01 (the “Rules and Regulations”) and made a part hereof. Landlord shall have the right from time to time during the Term of this Lease to make reasonable changes in and additions to the RTS Guidelines, the Rules and Regulations and the Construction Rules and Regulations with the same force and effect as if they were originally attached hereto or included herein and incorporated
204
herein, provided that any new Construction Rules and Regulations shall not apply to the performance of Tenant Changes until after such Tenant Changes have been substantially completed except to the extent that any new Construction Rules and Regulations have been made and Tenant has been given notice of the same prior to the bidding of a contract for the Tenant Change in question; provided, however, that Landlord shall have approved Tenant’s plans for the Tenant Change and, provided further, that Tenant shall have notified Landlord before commencing the bidding process. If Tenant disputes the reasonableness of any change or addition to the RTS Guidelines, the Rules and Regulations or Construction Rules and Regulations hereafter adopted by Landlord, the dispute shall be determined by arbitration in accordance with Section 25.01 hereof, and pending such determination, Tenant may defer compliance with such contested RTS Guidelines, Rule and Regulation or Construction Rule and Regulation. Any such determination shall be final and conclusive upon the parties hereto. The right to dispute the reasonableness of any change or addition to the RTS Guidelines, the Rules and Regulations or Construction Rules and Regulations upon Tenant’s part shall be deemed waived unless the same shall be asserted by service of a notice upon Landlord within sixty (60) days after receipt by Tenant of notice of the adoption of any such amended or additional RTS Guidelines, Rules and Regulations or Construction Rules and Regulations.
26.02
Subject to the provisions of this Section 26.02, any failure by Landlord to enforce any Rules and Regulations or Construction Rules and Regulations now or hereafter in effect, either against Tenant or any other tenant in the Building, shall not constitute a waiver of the enforceability of any such Rules and Regulations. Landlord shall not enforce, or fail to enforce, any of the Rules and Regulations or the Construction Rules and Regulations in a manner which would be discriminatory toward Tenant in comparison to Landlord’s treatment of other tenants in the Building. In addition, Landlord shall (i) not adopt any new Rules and Regulations or Construction Rules and Regulations affecting only, or applicable only against, Tenant, (ii) not unreasonably withhold or delay its consent to any approval required under the Rules and Regulations or Construction Rules and Regulations (unless expressly provided to the contrary therein) and (iii) exercise its judgment in good faith in any instance providing for the exercise of its judgment in the Rules and Regulations or Construction Rules and Regulations. In the event of any conflict or discrepancy between the Rules and Regulations or the Construction Rules and Regulations and the terms and provisions of this Lease, the terms and provisions of this Lease shall control (unless the relevant rule or regulation provides otherwise).
27.01
Each of Landlord and Tenant warrants and represents that it has not dealt with any broker in connection with this transaction other than the Broker. Each of Landlord and Tenant agrees to defend, save and hold the other harmless from any claims for fees and commissions and against any liability (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) arising out of a breach or alleged breach of the foregoing warranty and representation by the indemnifying party. Landlord shall be responsible for the payment of any commission or other fee earned by the Broker pursuant to separate agreement between them in connection with this Lease and hereby agrees to defend, save and hold Tenant and Tenant Parties harmless from any claims for fees and commissions and against any liability (including
205
reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) arising as a result of any claims by the Broker against Tenant or any Tenant Parties on account of this Lease. This Article shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of the Lease.
28.01
At all times, Landlord shall have the right, and Tenant shall not have the right, (i) to cause all or any part of the Demised Premises and/or the zoning lot upon which the Building is located in whole or in part (hereinafter referred to solely for purposes of this Article as the “Land”), the Unit (including any FC Limited Common Elements) and/or the Building, to be combined with any other land, condominium units in the Building or other premises so as to constitute the combined premises into a single zoning “lot” or “development” or “enlargement” as those terms are now, or may hereafter be, defined in the Zoning Resolution of The City of New York (the “Zoning Resolution”), (ii) to cause any lot, development or enlargement at any time constituting or including all or any part of the Demised Premises, the Land, the Building or the Unit to be subdivided into two or more lots, developments or enlargements, (iii) to cause development rights (whether from the Land or other premises) to be transferred to any such lot, development or enlargement, (iv) to cause other combinations, subdivisions and transfers to be effected, whether similar or dissimilar to those now permitted by law or (v) to exploit, sell, convey, lease or otherwise transfer any so called “air rights,” “air space,” “zoning rights” or “development rights” above or appurtenant to the Land, the Building and/or the Unit provided that and for so long as the foregoing actions described in clauses (i) through (v) do not (a) adversely affect Tenant or Tenant’s use and enjoyment of the Demised Premises, (b) increase the Fixed Rent or any Additional Rent, (c) otherwise increase the obligations of Tenant or the rights of Landlord under this Lease or (d) otherwise decrease the obligations of Landlord or the rights of Tenant under this Lease. Tenant hereby acknowledges that it is not a “party in interest” as defined in the Zoning Resolution, and shall not and cannot become a “party in interest” under any circumstances by virtue of its leasehold interest hereunder. Tenant further acknowledges that neither Tenant nor the estate or interest of Tenant hereunder would be “adversely affected” (within the meaning of the Zoning Resolution) by any development of the Land, the Building, the Unit or any such combined premises nor by the filing of any declaration combining all or a part of the Land, the Building and/or the Unit with any other premises and that Tenant’s estate and interest hereunder are not and would not be superior to any such declaration.
28.02
Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 28.01, above, in the event that Tenant is deemed to have any of the rights disclaimed in Section 28.01, above, or is deemed to be a party in interest, Tenant hereby transfers such rights and any rights as a party in interest to Landlord. In furtherance thereof, Tenant will within three (3) Business Days after written request by Landlord execute and deliver to Landlord a waiver of its right to join in a Declaration of Restrictions pursuant to Section 12-10 of the Zoning Resolution.
206
30.01
Tenant will not clean any window in the Demised Premises from the outside (within the meaning of Section 202 of the New York Labor Law or any successor statute thereto). In addition, unless the equipment and safety devices required by all legal requirements including Section 202 of the New York Labor Law or any successor statute thereto are provided and used, Tenant will not require, permit, suffer or allow the cleaning of any window in the Demised Premises from the outside (within the meaning of said Section); provided, however, that Tenant shall not be responsible for the manner in which Landlord, its agents, contractors or employees clean such windows.
ARTICLE 31
CONSENTS; ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES
31.01
Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Lease, and subject to the last sentence of this Section 31.01, Tenant hereby waives any monetary claim against Landlord which it may have based upon any assertion that Landlord has unreasonably withheld or unreasonably delayed any consent or approval required to be given hereunder, and, in any such event, Tenant agrees that its sole remedy shall be an action or proceeding to enforce any such provision or for specific performance, injunction, declaratory judgment or arbitration as expressly permitted or required hereunder. In the event of a determination favorable to Tenant, the requested consent or approval shall be deemed to have been granted; provided, however, except as set forth in the next sentence, Landlord shall not have liability to Tenant for its refusal to give such consent or approval. The sole remedy for Landlord’s unreasonably withholding or delaying of consent or approval shall be as set forth in this Section; provided, however, that if it shall be finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that either party acted capriciously and in bad faith or failed to comply with any final decision of any arbitration proceedings pursuant to the terms of this Lease, then such party shall be liable to the other for the Actual Damages incurred by such party.
31.02
If any matter which is the subject of a request for consent or approval hereunder by Tenant requires the consent or approval by any Superior Party or the City, as the case may be, under the Superior Obligation Instruments, Landlord shall, provided Tenant is not then in monetary or material non-monetary default hereunder, in each instance, beyond the expiration of any applicable notice and/or cure period, promptly forward such request to such of the foregoing parties from whom consent is required and, in any such case, Landlord shall in no event be deemed to have unreasonably withheld or delayed any such request for consent or approval if any of the foregoing parties shall fail to respond to such request (unless such failure is deemed to constitute consent under the applicable Superior Obligation Instrument) or shall deny same. If Landlord shall so determine that any such matter requires the consent or approval
207
of any of the foregoing parties, Landlord shall use good faith reasonable efforts to obtain from such parties such consent or approval (but without any obligation to pay any fee to such party unless Tenant agrees to pay the same); provided that Tenant shall submit to Landlord, upon Landlord’s request therefor, all plans, specifications or other materials, information or documentation as may be reasonably required by such parties, under the Superior Obligation Instruments in connection with each such parties’ respective consideration of such request. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, within thirty (30) days after demand therefor, as Additional Rent, all actual out-of-pocket fees, charges or other expenses Landlord may incur arising out of any such request for consent or approval.
31.03
A.
From time to time, within twenty (20) days next following request by Landlord (but no more than twice in any calendar year) Tenant shall deliver to Landlord or such other Person as Landlord may reasonably request a written statement executed by Tenant, in form reasonably satisfactory to Landlord or such other Person, (1) certifying that this Lease is then in full force and effect and has not been modified (or if modified, setting forth all modifications), (2) setting forth the date to which the Fixed Rent, the Recurring Additional Rent and other items of Rent have been paid, (3) stating whether or not, to the knowledge of Tenant, Landlord is in default under this Lease, and, if Landlord is in default, setting forth the specific nature of all such defaults, and (4) as to any other matters reasonably requested by Landlord and related to this Lease. Tenant acknowledges that any statement delivered pursuant to this Section may be relied upon by any purchaser or owner of the Real Property, the Unit or the Building, or Landlord’s interest in the Real Property or the Unit, Ground Lease Landlord, the Condominium Board, or any other Superior Party, or by an assignee or successor of a Superior Party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the immediately preceding sentence, any statement delivered pursuant to this Section shall reflect the state of facts existing only as of the date it is given by Tenant.
B.
From time to time, within twenty (20) days next following request by Tenant (but not more than twice in any calendar year), Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a written statement executed by Landlord in form reasonably satisfactory to Tenant (i) stating that this Lease is then in full force and effect and has not been modified (or if modified, setting forth all modifications), (ii) setting forth the date to which the Fixed Rent, the Recurring Additional Rent and any other items of Rent have been paid, (iii) stating whether or not, to the knowledge of Landlord, Tenant is in default under this Lease, and, if Tenant is in default, setting forth the specific nature of all such defaults, and (iv) as to any other matters reasonably requested by Tenant and related to this Lease. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the immediately preceding sentence, any statement delivered pursuant to this Section shall reflect the state of facts existing only as of the date it is given by Landlord and may be relied upon by Tenant and its successors, assigns and permitted Subtenants.
32.01
Except in connection with Tenant’s initial move-in to the Demised Premises, but subject to Section 2.01 hereof and Article 13 hereof, Tenant shall not move any safe, heavy equipment or bulky matter in or out of the Building without Landlord’s written
208
consent, which consent Landlord agrees not unreasonably to withhold. If the movement of such items is required to be done by persons holding a Master’s Rigger’s License, then all such work shall be done in full compliance with the Administrative Code of the City of New York and other municipal requirements. Except in connection with Tenant’s initial move-in to the Demised Premises, but subject to Section 2.01 hereof and Article 13 hereof, all such movements shall be made during hours which will minimize interference with the normal operations of the Building, and all damage caused by such movement shall be promptly repaired by Tenant at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. Tenant shall not place a load upon any floor of the Demised Premises which exceeds the load per square foot which such floor was designed to carry (or such greater load that the floor may be permitted to carry as a result of Tenant Changes performed in accordance with the terms hereof) and which is allowed by Legal Requirements.
32.02
This Lease may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which where so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which, taken together, shall constitute one and the same instrument. Any signature page to any counterpart may be detached from such counterpart without impairing the legal effect of the signatures thereon and thereafter attached to another counterpart identical thereto except having attached to it additional signature pages.
32.03
In the event that an excavation or any construction should be made for Building or other purposes upon land adjacent to the Real Property, or should be authorized to be made, Tenant shall, upon reasonable prior notice, if necessary, afford to the person or persons causing or authorized to cause such excavation or construction or other purpose, the right, for brief periods of time and in a manner so as to avoid interference with Tenant’s business, subject to such reasonable conditions as Tenant may reasonably impose, to enter upon the Demised Premises for the purpose of doing such work as shall reasonably be necessary to protect or preserve the wall or walls of the Unit, or the Building, from injury or damage and to support them by proper foundations, pinning and/or underpinning, or otherwise.
32.04
Each of Landlord and Tenant waives the right to trial by jury in any summary proceeding that may hereafter be instituted against such party or generally in any action that may be brought hereunder, provided such waiver is not prohibited by law. Tenant shall not interpose any counterclaim in any summary proceeding, except for compulsory counterclaims.
32.05
In the event of any dispute between Landlord and Tenant in any way related to this Lease, and whether involving contract and/or tort claims, the non-prevailing party shall pay to the prevailing party all reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, without restriction by statute, court rule or otherwise, incurred by the prevailing party in connection with any action or proceeding (including any appeal and the enforcement of any judgment or award), whether or not the dispute is litigated or prosecuted to final judgment (collectively, “Fees”). The “prevailing party” shall be determined based upon an independent assessment of which party’s major arguments or positions taken in the action or proceeding could fairly be said to have prevailed (whether by compromise, settlement, abandonment by the other party of its claim or defense, final decision, after any appeals, or otherwise) over the other party’s major arguments or positions on major disputed issues. Any dispute as to the identity of the prevailing party shall be determined by arbitration in accordance with Section 25.01 hereof. Any Fees incurred in
209
enforcing a judgment shall be recoverable separately from any other amount included in the judgment and shall survive and not be merged in the judgment.
32.06
The failure of Landlord or Tenant to seek redress for violation of, or to insist upon the strict performance of, any covenant or condition of this Lease, or, as applicable, any of the Rules and Regulations attached hereto or hereafter adopted by Landlord, shall not prevent a subsequent act, which would have originally constituted a violation, from having all the force and effect of an original violation. No employee of Landlord or of Landlord’s agents shall have any power to accept the keys of the Demised Premises prior to the termination of this Lease. The delivery of keys to any employee of Landlord or of Landlord’s agent shall not operate as a termination of this Lease or a surrender of the Demised Premises. The receipt or acceptance by Landlord, or payment by Tenant, of rent with knowledge of the breach of any covenant of this Lease shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach. No provision of this Lease shall be deemed to have been waived by Landlord or Tenant unless such waiver be in writing signed by such party. No endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment as rent shall 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 rent or pursue any other remedy in this Lease provided.
32.07
This Lease with its exhibits, schedules and annexes (and all guaranties, and other documents being executed by the parties or their guarantors contemporaneously with this Lease) contain the entire agreement between Landlord and Tenant with respect to the subject matter hereof and any executory agreement hereafter made between Landlord and Tenant shall be ineffective to change, modify, waive, release, discharge, terminate or effect an abandonment of this Lease, in whole or in part, unless such executory agreement is signed by the parties hereto. This Lease may not be orally waived, terminated, changed or modified.
32.08
The captions of Articles in this Lease and its Table of Contents and Index are inserted only as a convenience and for reference and they in no way define, limit or describe the scope of this Lease or the intent of any provision thereof. References to Articles and Sections are to those in this Lease unless otherwise noted.
32.09
If any term, covenant, condition or provision of this Lease or the application thereof to any circumstance or to any Person shall be invalid or unenforceable to any extent, the remaining terms, covenants, conditions and provisions of this Lease or the application thereof to any circumstances or to any Person other than those as to which any term, covenant, condition or provision is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby and each remaining term, covenant, condition and provision of this Lease shall be valid and shall be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements and/or Insurance Requirements.
32.10
No vault or cellar not within the property line of the Building is leased hereunder, anything to the contrary indicated elsewhere in this Lease notwithstanding.
32.11
Each of the schedules and exhibits appended to this Lease is incorporated by reference herein as if set out in full herein. If, and to the extent that, any of the provisions of this Lease conflict, or are otherwise inconsistent, with any of the schedules and exhibits
210

Neither Landlord nor Tenant shall do anything that would constitute a default under the Condominium Documents or omit to do anything that such party is obligated to do under the terms of this Lease so as to cause there to be a default under the Condominium Documents, or cause the other to incur any expense or liability under the Condominium Documents (and, if either party shall cause the other to incur any such expense in violation hereof, the causing party shall reimburse the other within thirty (30) days after demand).

35.04

215
Tenant’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses in connection therewith, within thirty (30) days after demand therefor, provided that Tenant shall furnish Landlord with documentation reasonably supporting the amount of any such costs and expenses, or (ii) any such claims, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses shall thereafter be incurred as a result of the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord; (c) Tenant shall use counsel approved by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld; (d) Landlord shall determine in the reasonable exercise of its good faith judgment that any such action or proceeding is a bona-fide attempt by Tenant to enforce Landlord’s rights under the Condominium Documents which are applicable to Tenant (it being agreed that, if Landlord shall determine otherwise, Landlord shall promptly notify Tenant thereof with the reasons therefor); and (e) Landlord shall determine in the reasonable exercise of its good faith judgment that there are no other practical bona-fide methods available to Landlord for obtaining the performance of the Condominium Board’s obligations under the Condominium Documents (it being agreed that, if Landlord shall determine that there are other practical methods available to obtain the performance of such obligations, Landlord promptly shall exercise the same, with the understanding that, if the Condominium Board shall not perform such obligations within a reasonable time thereafter, Landlord shall permit Tenant to institute legal proceedings as provided in this Section 35.04). In the event of a dispute as to Landlord’s determinations under clause (d) or clause (e) of this Section 35.04, either party shall have the right to submit such dispute to arbitration, in accordance with the provisions of Subsection 25.01 hereof, in which case Tenant shall not institute and action or proceeding against the Condominium Board unless and until the arbitrator shall have determined that Tenant is then entitled to institute such action or proceeding.

Upon the occurrence of the Condominium Conversion Date, Landlord agrees to (a) give prompt notice thereof to Tenant and (b) provide Tenant with true, correct and complete photocopies of the Condominium Declaration and By-Laws. Landlord further agrees that it shall not amend, modify or consent to any changes to the Current Form Condominium Documents that would (i) extend or shorten the Term, (ii) reduce the usable area of the Premises (other than a modification of Tenant’s Roof Top Space that may occur as a result of the final design of the RTS Build-out Work), (iii) increase the Fixed Rent or
216
any Additional Rent, (iv) except to a de minimis extent, otherwise increase the obligations of Tenant or the rights of Landlord or any Condominium Board under this Lease or (v) except to a de minimis extent, otherwise decrease the obligations of Landlord or any Condominium Board to Tenant or the rights of Tenant under this Lease.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the work, labor and/or services performed by any particular trade(s) in connection with Tenant’s Initial Work shall have been fully completed, any retainage solely attributable thereto shall be released by Landlord to Tenant upon and subject to the other applicable terms of this Article 36, including, without limitation, the receipt by Landlord of executed final lien waivers therefrom;

(viii)
Tenant shall not then be in monetary default or material non-monetary default under this Lease, in each instance beyond the expiration of any applicable notice and/or cure period under this Lease and no Bankruptcy Event has occurred.

To the extent applicable, Landlord agrees to use good faith efforts to provide Tenant with a notice setting forth a reasonably detailed list of the reasons why any requisition package is not complete within ten (10) days after receipt of Tenant’s requisition package. In the event any mechanic’s lien shall have been filed relating to any work that has been performed by or for Tenant, the additional amount of such lien may be withheld from payment until such lien has been removed by bond or otherwise; provided, however, that Landlord shall promptly disburse the amount withheld upon the bonding or other removal of such lien.
36.03

In no event shall the aggregate amount paid by Landlord to Tenant pursuant to this Article 36 exceed the aggregate Landlord’s Contribution that shall become available to Tenant upon and subject to the terms of this Article.
36.04
Tenant agrees that it shall pay and shall be solely responsible for the payment of all amounts necessary to fully complete all of Tenant’s Initial Work to the extent the cost thereof exceeds Landlord’s Contribution.
219
36.05
For the purposes of this Article, the term “Pro Rata Installment” shall mean, subject to the limitations and conditions contained herein, fifty percent (50%) of the amount requisitioned by Tenant’s Architect as provided herein until such time as Landlord’s Contribution has been fully disbursed; provided, however, that in the event that Landlord’s Contribution is equal to an amount that is less than the aggregate Hard Costs and Soft Costs of Tenant’s Initial Work, then Landlord’s final Pro Rata Installment shall be equal to the entire remaining Landlord’s Contribution.
36.06
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, in no event shall more than ten percent (10%) of Landlord’s Contribution be permitted to fund Soft Costs.
36.07
To the extent that Landlord’s Contribution has not been fully applied after the completion of Tenant’s Initial Work, such unused portion of the Landlord’s Contribution shall, provided that this Lease is then full force and effect and Tenant is not otherwise in monetary or material monetary default hereunder beyond the expiration of any applicable notice and/or cure period, be credited against the next installment(s) of Fixed Rent thereafter payable by Tenant under this Lease.
36.08
If Landlord fails, after satisfaction of all required conditions under this Article, to pay any Pro Rata Installment of Landlord’s Contribution on or before the due date therefor and such failure continues for thirty (30) days after Tenant notifies Landlord of such failure (which notice shall state that Tenant intends to set off such amount against the next installment of Rent unless Landlord pays such amount to Tenant), Tenant may, subject to the provisions hereof, set off such amount, together with interest thereon calculated at the Interest Rate (collectively, the “Offset Amount”), against the next installments of Rent coming due. If any portion of any Offset Amount shall not have been credited as of the end of the Term, Landlord, within thirty (30) days after the end of the Term, shall pay such amount to Tenant. The preceding sentence shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Tenant shall have no such right of offset if Landlord shall in good faith dispute Tenant’s claim that Tenant is entitled to a disbursement of all or any portion of Landlord’s Contribution unless and until Landlord settles such dispute with Tenant or such dispute is otherwise resolved in Tenant’s favor pursuant to Section 25.01 hereof (it being agreed that at the time of such resolution (or if Tenant loses a dispute because of Tenant’s failure to satisfy the conditions precedent to a disbursement of Landlord’s Contribution and Tenant thereafter satisfies all required conditions) Tenant will be entitled to the unfunded portion of the Pro Rata Installment which is the subject of the dispute); provided, however, Tenant may, pending resolution of such dispute, offset such unpaid portions of such disbursement of Landlord’s Contribution that are not in dispute, provided Tenant has otherwise met all of the requirements set forth under this Article 36 with respect to such undisputed portion. The provisions of this Section 36.08 shall (as to any Superior Lessee or Superior Mortgagee) be subject to the provisions of any SNDA with such Superior Lessor or Superior Mortgagee.

220
37.01
Tenant shall have the option (the “Antenna Option”), subject to Article 13 hereof and the provisions of this Article 37, to install, maintain and operate one (1) satellite antenna (the “Antenna”) in a location to be determined by Landlord on Landlord’s antenna structure (and only on such structure) located on the roof of the Building (the “Mast”). The Antenna Option shall be exercisable by notice from Tenant to Landlord delivered not later than December 31, 2007 (time being of the essence). If Tenant does not exercise the Antenna Option within such period (time being of the essence) this Article 37 shall be null and void. If Tenant timely exercises the Antenna Option, there shall be no rent or other charge or fee therefor except the Additional Rent expressly provided for in this Article 37. The Antenna shall be of a diameter and height, in each instance, not in excess of the criteria set forth on Exhibit 37.01 annexed hereto and made a part hereof and shall be installed on the Mast in accordance with the requirements set forth on Exhibit 37.01. Subject to the foregoing, Tenant shall have the right to install cables leading from the Antenna to the Office Space at Tenant’s sole cost and expense as described on Exhibit 37.01 and in a location, manner, material and size approved by Landlord, acting reasonably. Landlord, at Landlord’s cost, shall install and maintain a submeter to measure electricity usage in connection with Persons permitted by Landlord to use the Mast. In the event Tenant exercises the Antenna Option as aforesaid, Tenant shall pay, as Additional Rent, Tenant’s share (based on the total number of Persons permitted by Landlord to use the Mast (and not otherwise separately submetered) from time to time) of the cost of consumption indicated on such submeter (computed by applying the kw and kwh (on and off-peak, if applicable) of such consumption to the Electric Rates paid by Landlord, (without any premium or administrative markup), plus any reasonable third party fees associated with the reading of such meters).
37.02
The Antenna shall be used solely and exclusively for the transmission and reception of signals or other similar types of communications between and among the various divisions, departments, subsidiaries and Affiliates of Tenant and to receive signals from commercial satellites. In no event shall the Antenna be used for general or commercial broadcasting, any similar or related broadcast use or cellular or other wireless services. The transmission or receipt of signals by or for any other Person shall constitute a prohibited use of the Antenna and a default under this Lease. Tenant shall nevertheless notify Landlord in writing of any instance(s) wherein the Antenna is used for general broadcasting purposes. Copies of any filings or statements which Tenant may now or hereafter be required to make, from time to time, with any federal, state or city agency certifying as to the use of the Antenna shall be delivered to Landlord.
37.03
Tenant shall diligently service, repair, and maintain the Antenna, including, without limitation, all electrical wires, guy wires, and conduits related thereto.
37.04
No signs, whether temporary or permanent, shall be affixed, installed or attached to the Antenna other than those required by applicable Legal Requirements and/or Insurance Requirements. No such sign shall be illuminated, unless required by applicable Legal Requirements and/or Insurance Requirements. All signs required, if any, and the location
221
thereof, shall be first approved in writing by Landlord and shall be subject to any limitations or restrictions contained in the Superior Instruments, including DUO.
37.05
In the performance of any installation, alteration, repair, maintenance, removal and/or any other work with respect to the Antenna, Tenant shall comply with all applicable provisions of this Lease.
37.06
Any and all taxes, filing fees, charges, or license fees imposed upon Landlord by virtue of the existence and/or use of the Antenna, whether imposed by any local, state and/or federal government or any agency thereof, shall be exclusively borne by Tenant. Landlord agrees to reasonably cooperate with Tenant in any necessary applications for any necessary license or permits provided Landlord incurs no expense or liability in so doing.
37.07
During Business Hours on Business Days and upon reasonable advance notice to Landlord, Tenant may have access to the roof of the Building for the sole purpose of servicing and maintaining the Antenna. Landlord shall have the right (in its sole discretion and at Tenant’s sole expense) to have its representative(s) accompany Tenant whenever it services or maintains the Antenna. At all other times, Landlord may keep the entrance to the roof locked. Tenant shall not have any tools and/or materials lying loose on the roof and Tenant’s employees and independent contractors shall close the entrance door to the roof when leaving the roof. Any damage to the Building or to the personal property of Landlord of any other tenant or occupant of the Building arising as a result of such access shall be repaired and restored, by Landlord, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, to the condition existing prior to such access. If Tenant should require access to the Antenna at times other than specified in the first sentence of this Section 37.07, then, except in the case of an emergency, Tenant shall give Landlord at least two (2) Business Days prior notice of such requirement and shall pay all reasonable costs incurred by Landlord in connection therewith, including, without limitation, any compensation paid to Building employees or any independent contractors or engineers of Landlord.
37.08
On or before the termination of this Lease, Tenant shall remove the Antenna and any and all appurtenant cables, wires and other equipment and repair and restore any damage caused to the Building or the Unit due to such removal. Such repair and restoration work shall proceed with due diligence and dispatch and shall be completed prior to the expiration of the Term of this Lease. Any holes, damage or injury in or to the Building or the Unit arising out of or connected to the removal of the Antenna and any and all appurtenant cables, wires and other equipment shall be promptly and duly repaired and restored by Tenant at Tenant’s sole cost and expense.
37.09
Throughout the Term, Tenant shall inspect the Antenna at least once a month. Tenant shall be solely responsible for preserving the watertight integrity of the roof as may be caused by, or relates to, the installation, maintenance, operation and repair of the Antenna. Tenant shall be responsible for all leaks in the roof arising out of or connected to its installation of Tenant’s Antenna. Tenant’s Antenna shall not exceed the applicable load bearing capacity of the Mast.
37.10
A.
If, at any time during the Term hereof, Landlord, in good faith, shall determine that it is necessary to relocate the Antenna to another location on the Mast or is
222
otherwise required to do so as a result of rights granted to NYTC under the Condominium Documents, then Landlord may give notice thereof to Tenant. Within thirty (30) days of receipt of Landlord’s notice or, if a governmental permit is required to be obtained for installation of the Antenna in the new location, then, within thirty (30) days of the obtaining of such permit, (which Tenant shall make prompt application for, with Landlord’s reasonable cooperation, at Landlord’s sole cost) Tenant, at Landlord’s sole cost, shall move the Antenna (installing new tie-ins between the Antenna and Tenant’s equipment relating to the Antenna in the Demised Premises and arranging for an automatic cut-over so as to minimize any interference with Tenant’s operations occasioned by such move) to the new location.
B.
Tenant’s operation or use of the Antenna shall not prevent or interfere with the operation or use of any equipment of any present or future tenant or occupant of the Building. If, at any time during the Term hereof, Landlord, in good faith, shall reasonably determine that Tenant’s Antenna causes interference with other equipment or emits radiation in amounts which may be hazardous to, or interfere with the use or occupancy of, any other tenant(s) in the Building, then Landlord may so notify Tenant, and require Tenant to replace the Antenna with another antenna which would not cause such interference (the “Replacement Antenna”). Tenant, within thirty (30) days of receipt of such notice or, if any permit is required under applicable Legal Requirements and/or Insurance Requirements to install such Replacement Antenna, then, within thirty (30) days after the obtaining of such permit (which Tenant shall make prompt application for, with Landlord’s cooperation but at no cost to Landlord), shall replace the Antenna with the new non-interfering Replacement Antenna which shall then be the Antenna hereunder. Tenant agrees to cooperate with Landlord to allow any antennas desired on the Mast by any other tenants or occupants of the Building and/or the Unit. Landlord agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to insert a clause similar to this Section 37.10B in any other similar agreement with tenants of the Unit.
37.11
Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Landlord has made no warranties or representations as to the conditions or suitability of the Mast or the Building, or of the roof of the Building for (a) the clear reception and/or transmission of signals to or from the Antenna nor (b) the installation, use, maintenance or operation of the Antenna and Tenant agrees to accept use of its position on the Mast in its then “as is” condition and without any work or alterations to be made by Landlord.
ARTICLE 38
FLOATING EXPANSION OPTION
38.01
A.
Subject to the terms hereof (including Section 38.03 and Section 38.10D hereof) and provided this Lease is in full force and effect, during the Term, Landlord shall provide Tenant with a right of first offer (the “Floating Expansion Option”) to add to the Demised Premises for the balance of the Initial Term (and, to the extent so elected by Tenant in accordance with Article 39, the First Renewal Term and Second Renewal Term, if applicable) the first two (2) full floors of the Unit above the 29th Floor of the Building which become available for leasing by Landlord following the expiration of the Initial Lease-Up Period and after the offer by Landlord of any required floors to the Priority ROFO Tenants in accordance with the conditions contained in Section 38.10D hereof (the “Floating Option Space”), in which
223
event Tenant may elect to lease both, either, or neither of such floors in accordance with the terms of this Article 38. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall not have the right to designate the 29th or 30th floor of the Building as the Floating Option Space if such floor is still subject to rights of the NYTC to purchase and/or sublease the same in accordance with the Condominium Documents prior to the Stated Expiration Date. Subject to the limitations hereinafter provided, Tenant may exercise the Floating Expansion Option by delivering to Landlord a notice (an “Expansion Notice”) with respect thereto within thirty (30) days after Landlord provides Tenant with notice of the Estimated Delivery Date of the Floating Option Space (which Estimated Delivery Date shall, subject to the provisions of Section 38.08 hereof, in no event be more than fifteen (15) months or less than (3) months following the date on which Landlord provides Tenant with such notice). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Landlord agrees that it will not offer any Floating Expansion Option to Tenant prior to the earlier of (i) the expiration of the Initial Lease-up Period and (ii) the third (3rd) anniversary of the Occupancy Date.
B.
For the purposes of this Article 38, the date on which Landlord anticipates in good faith that Landlord shall deliver possession of the Floating Option Space to Tenant in its entirety shall be referred to herein as the “Estimated Delivery Date” and the date on which possession of the Floating Option Space in its entirety is actually delivered by Landlord to Tenant shall be referred to herein as the “Delivery Date”.
C.
Tenant may from time to time during and after the Initial Lease-up Period (but not more frequently than once in any calendar year) request from Landlord a schedule of the status of the lease-up of the Unit setting forth a stacking plan for the Unit and showing each space that is leased; the tenant to whom such space is leased; the expiration date of such lease; any renewal or expansion options or rights of first offer or refusal and the floors to which they relate and any early termination options. Landlord shall deliver such schedule within twenty (20) days after request therefor by Tenant.
38.02
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, the Floating Expansion Option may not be exercised by Tenant unless at the time of the delivery by Tenant of the Expansion Notice all of the applicable Threshold Conditions are satisfied. If, at such time all of the applicable Threshold Conditions shall not be satisfied, then, at Landlord’s option, (a) such Expansion Notice shall be null and void and of no force or effect, and (b) Tenant shall be deemed to have irrevocably waived any rights pursuant to this Article 38 that Tenant may have had with respect to the Floating Option Space; it being agreed that (i) Tenant shall be deemed to have elected not to lease such Floating Option Space, (ii) Landlord shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to lease all or any portion of such Floating Option Space to any other Person on terms acceptable to Landlord in its sole discretion without being obligated to again offer such space to Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Article 38 and (iii) Tenant agrees upon request of Landlord to confirm such non-exercise in writing, but failure to do so by Tenant shall not operate to revive any rights of Tenant under this Article 38.
A.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the Estimated Delivery Date for any Floating Option Space offered to Tenant as provided in this Article 38 is such, that upon the occurrence of the Estimated Delivery Date there will be less than three (3) years remaining in the Term of this Lease, then Landlord shall have no obligation
224
to accept a Expansion Notice from Tenant with respect to such Floating Option Space unless, if such offer is made during the Initial Term, Tenant simultaneously with the delivery of such Expansion Notice (and as an express condition thereof) extends the Term of this Lease for the First Renewal Term and/or the Second Renewal Term, if applicable, as provided in Article 39 hereof.
38.03
Any Expansion Notice shall be irrevocable upon delivery and time shall be of the essence in connection with the exercise of any Floating Expansion Option hereunder. If Landlord shall offer both floors of the Floating Option Space to Tenant at one time and Tenant’s Expansion Notice with respect thereto shall only designate one (1) of such floors, Landlord shall have the right to designate which of such two (2) floors shall constitute the Floating Option Space hereunder. If the Expansion Notice does not materially comply with the requirements set forth herein, it shall be deemed in such event that Tenant failed to timely deliver to Landlord an Expansion Notice; provided, however, that if Tenant fails to designate a floor in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, then Tenant will not be deemed to have failed to comply with the requirements set forth herein. If Tenant fails for any reason to timely deliver to Landlord an Expansion Notice with respect to the Floating Option Space, then (a) Tenant shall have no further right to lease all or any portion such Floating Option Space pursuant to the terms of this Article 38, (b) Landlord shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to lease all or any portion of such Floating Option Space to any other Person on terms acceptable to Landlord in its sole discretion without being obligated to again offer such space to Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Article 38 and (c) Tenant agrees upon request of Landlord to confirm such non-exercise in writing, but failure to do so by Tenant shall not operate to revive any rights of Tenant under this Article 38. Tenant further acknowledges that Tenant’s Floating Expansion Option shall constitute a one-time (as opposed to continuing) right.
38.04
The Fixed Rent with respect to the Floating Option Space shall (a) commence to be payable on the actual Delivery Date thereof and (b) be 100% of the annual fair market rental value thereof (which may include periodic increases), determined as of the date which is the Estimated Delivery Date of such Floating Option Space to Tenant. Landlord and Tenant shall seek to agree in writing as to the amount of such fair market rental value for the Floating Option Space within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s receipt of the respective Expansion Notice, taking into consideration all relevant factors.
38.05
The following terms and conditions shall apply to the Floating Option Space, leased by Tenant: (a) Tenant shall use and occupy the Floating Option Space leased by Tenant solely for the uses permitted hereunder with respect to the Office Space and (b) the base years for escalations with respect to Operating Expenses and Taxes shall be the then current base years (i.e., the fiscal year (for Taxes) or calendar year (for Operating Expenses) in which the Estimated Delivery Date of such Option Space or Floating Option Space occurs.
38.06
If Landlord and Tenant shall not agree as to the annual fair market rental value of the Floating Option Space by the date which is thirty (30) days after the delivery of the Expansion Notice with respect thereto, then each of Landlord and Tenant, by no later than sixty (60) days after the delivery of the applicable Expansion Notice, simultaneously shall meet and exchange notices setting forth in such notices the annual fair market rental value that such party believes should be paid by Tenant hereunder for the Floating Option Space in question (which
225
amount may differ from any previous sum proposed by such party) and in such event said annual fair market rental value for the Floating Option Space shall be determined by arbitration in accordance with the provision of Section 25.01B hereof.
38.07
If on the Delivery Date of the Floating Option Space, the annual fair market rental payable therefor in accordance with the foregoing paragraphs of this Article shall not have been determined, then, pending such determination, Tenant shall pay the average of the Fixed Rent proposed by Landlord and Tenant for such Floating Option Space in their respective arbitration notices (the “Temporary Expansion Rate”). After the determination by arbitration of the annual fair market rental value of such Floating Option Space, if such value is less than the Temporary Expansion Rate, an appropriate adjustment of rental shall promptly be made, with Tenant to receive the net sum payable to Tenant, together with interest at the Prime Rate and if such value is more than the Temporary Expansion Rate, an appropriate adjustment of rental shall promptly be made, with Tenant to pay the net sum payable to Landlord, together with interest at the Prime Rate; and thereafter payment shall be made as determined in the arbitration.
38.08
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if (a) Landlord shall for any reason be able to deliver possession to Tenant of the Floating Option Space prior to the Estimated Delivery Date therefor and (b) Tenant shall have theretofore delivered to Landlord an Expansion Notice with respect thereto, Landlord may elect, in its sole discretion, to accelerate the Estimated Delivery Date with respect to such Floating Option Space. If Landlord elects to accelerate the Estimated Delivery Date with respect to such Floating Option Space, Landlord shall deliver notice to Tenant with respect thereto, which notice shall set forth the new Estimated Delivery Date with respect thereto. Upon Landlord’s delivery of such notice, such accelerated date automatically shall be the Estimated Delivery Date with respect thereto for all purposes of this Article and Tenant shall lease such Floating Option Space upon and subject to all of the terms of this Lease (except for such new Estimated Delivery Date). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that (i) Landlord may accelerate the Estimated Delivery Date with respect to such Floating Option Space only if (A) a Bankruptcy Event occurs with respect to the existing occupant thereof or (B) Landlord terminates (or reasonably expects to terminate) a lease with respect to such Floating Option Space on account of a default by the existing occupant thereunder or by reason of voluntary agreement of the parties and (ii) Landlord may not accelerate the Estimated Delivery Date with respect to such Floating Option Space by more than (x) nine (9) months in the aggregate in the case of any acceleration due to a Bankruptcy Event or a default or (y) three (3) months in the aggregate in the case of any acceleration by reason of a voluntary agreement.
38.09
In addition to the annual Fixed Rent payable by Tenant with respect to the Floating Option Space determined as herein provided, Tenant’s leasing of the Floating Option Space shall be on all of the terms and conditions of this Lease and Tenant shall be responsible for the payment of all Additional Rent and other costs and charges with respect to the Floating Option Space as are in this Lease provided for the Demised Premises (including but not limited to (a) Tenant’s Tax Payment, (b) Tenant’s BID Payment and (c) Tenant’s Operating Expense Payment based on the formulas set forth in Article 4 of this Lease (but based upon the new base years with respect to Tenant’s Tax Payment and Tenant’s Operating Expense Payment set forth in Section 38.05 hereof and Tenant’s Percentage with respect thereto).
226
38.10
A.
In the event Tenant duly and properly exercises the Floating Expansion Option under this Article, then except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Floating Option Space covered by such option shall automatically become part of the Demised Premises covered by this Lease upon delivery of possession thereof to Tenant without the execution of an amendment to this Lease. Landlord shall deliver to Tenant at least ten (10) Business Days’ prior notice of the actual Delivery Date of the Floating Option Space, which date, subject to the provisions of Section 38.08 hereof shall not be earlier than the Estimated Delivery Date. However, at the request of either party, the parties shall promptly execute and deliver a written amendment to this Lease reflecting the addition of the Floating Option Space as part of the Demised Premises for the remainder of the Term, the increase of the Fixed Rent and Additional Rent with respect thereto (including, without limitation, Tenant’s Percentage on account of the leasing of the Floating Option Space) and any other terms that may be applicable with respect to the Floating Option Space. Landlord shall not be required to perform any work with respect to the Floating Option Space or to give Tenant any work allowance or free rent with respect to the Floating Option Space and Tenant agrees to accept the Floating Option Space in its then “as-is” condition except that (i) to the extent there shall have been any fire or other casualty in the Floating Option Space prior to the Delivery Date, Landlord shall have restored the Floating Option Space being leased by Tenant to substantially the same condition that existed prior to such fire or other casualty or, at Tenant’s election, have paid to Tenant the net amount of the casualty proceeds payable to Landlord by reason of such fire or other casualty reasonably allocated to the Floating Option Space to be used by Tenant for the Tenant Changes for such space and (ii) all of the Base Systems servicing such space including, without limitation, electrical, plumbing, HVAC and life safety shall be operating in accordance with the Base Building Criteria therefor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Landlord fails or is unable to deliver the entire Floating Option Space to Tenant on the Estimated Delivery Date thereof as a result of the holding over of the prior tenant or for any other reason (other than Landlord’s willful refusal to deliver possession thereof to Tenant after such space has been vacated by the prior tenant thereof), Landlord shall not be subject to any liability whatsoever for such failure or inability to deliver possession, except as otherwise provided in this Section 38.10A and the exercise of said option shall remain effective, but the Fixed Rent and Additional Rent shall not commence with respect to the Floating Option Space until the date on which the same is actually delivered to Tenant; provided, however, that if Tenant so elects, the portion(s) of the Floating Option Space which can be delivered shall be delivered to Tenant and the Fixed Rent and Additional Rent applicable thereto, on an RSF basis, shall commence. Landlord shall promptly inform Tenant of any anticipated delay of the Estimated Delivery Date. Landlord will promptly take all reasonable action against any holdover tenant of the Floating Option Space to obtain possession thereof, including, without limitation, the commencement and prosecution of a summary dispossess proceeding against any such holdover tenant and shall keep Tenant informed as to the status thereof. Nothing herein shall operate to extend the expiration of the term for the Demised Premises (including, but not limited to, the Floating Option Space added to the demise hereunder) beyond the then Expiration Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if Landlord willfully refuses to deliver possession of the Floating Option Space to Tenant after such space has been vacated by the prior tenant thereof for any reason other than completion of any repairs required to be performed by Landlord due to a casualty, Force Majeure or Tenant Delay (the date on which such vacancy shall have occurred, as the same may be extended due to Force Majeure or Tenant Delay or the time necessary to complete any repairs required to be performed by Landlord due to a casualty, is referred to
227
herein as the “Required Delivery Date”), then, in such event, but subject to Tenant’s rights under Section 38.10B hereof, if the Floating Option Space has not been delivered to Tenant within sixty (60) days after the Required Delivery Date, then as liquidated damages, and not as a penalty, the Fixed Rent payable for the Floating Option Space shall, subject to the provisions of clause (ii) below (i) be abated one and one half (1½) days for each day after such sixtieth (60th) day after the Required Delivery Date until the actual Delivery Date has occurred and (ii) if the actual Delivery Date has not occurred within one hundred twenty (120) days after the Required Delivery Date, the abatement in clause (i) shall be increased to two (2) days for each day after such one hundred twentieth (120th) day until the actual Delivery Date has occurred.
B.
Nothing herein shall operate to extend the expiration of the term for the Demised Premises (including, but not limited to, the Floating Option Space) beyond the then stated Expiration Date. If the Floating Option Space is not so delivered to Tenant within nine (9) months after the Estimated Delivery Date therefor then Tenant shall have the right (to be exercised not later than ninety (90) days following the expiration of such nine (9) month period as hereinafter provided) to rescind its election to add to the Demised Premises such Floating Option Space or that portion thereof as to which possession is not obtainable, and in the latter case, Landlord, at its own cost, shall separate the portion which is part of the Demised Premises so it may be legally occupied by Tenant. If Tenant does not exercise its rescission right within the aforesaid ninety (90) day period, then Tenant shall be deemed to have agreed to refrain from exercising such rights for the next succeeding ninety (90) day period (a “Tolling Period”) upon the expiration of which Tenant shall again have the same rescission right described above which may be exercised for the next succeeding ninety (90) day period. If Tenant does not exercise its rescission rights within the aforesaid ninety (90) day period, then Tenant shall again be deemed to have agreed to another Tolling Period of ninety (90) days during which it may not exercise such rescission rights. Such procedure shall continue until Landlord delivers such Floating Option Space to Tenant or Tenant exercises its rescission rights hereunder. If Tenant exercises such rescission option and Landlord does not deliver such Floating Option Space to Tenant within thirty (30) days after the giving of such rescission notice (time being of the essence), then it shall be deemed that such Floating Option Space has not been offered to Tenant and the applicable provisions of Section 38.01 hereof shall continue in full force and effect, subject to the provisions of the next sentence. Upon Landlord obtaining vacant possession of the Floating Option Space that was the subject of the rescission exercised by Tenant, Landlord agrees to reoffer the same to Tenant in accordance with the applicable terms of this Article 38, except that if such reoffer occurs within twelve (12) months of such rescission, then for the purposes hereof and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 38.01 hereof, the Estimated Delivery Date shall be a date designated by Landlord which is not more than thirty (30) days following Landlord’s notice reoffering the same to Tenant and Tenant shall be required to deliver to its Expansion Notice to Landlord with respect thereto within seven (7) Business Days of being informed of the Estimated Delivery Date.
C.
Subject to the provisions of Section 38.10A hereof, Tenant expressly waives any right to rescind this Lease under Section 223-a of the New York Real Property Law or under any present or future statute of similar import then in force and further expressly waives the right to recover any damages, direct or indirect, which may result from Landlord’s failure to deliver possession on the Estimated Delivery Date with respect to the Floating Option Space other than by reason of Landlord’s willful refusal to deliver such space when vacant or willful
228
refusal in complying with its obligations under Section 38.10A hereof following notice of such default by Tenant and the failure to cure such default diligently and continuously following the giving of such notice by Tenant. Tenant agrees that the provisions of this Section are intended to constitute “an express provision to the contrary” within the meaning of said Section 223-a.
D.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the parties hereto acknowledge that (a) Landlord shall have the absolute right, subject to the terms of Section 1.03A hereof, to (i) execute initial leases with respect to any of the remaining office floors in the Unit other than the Initial Office Space (any such leases, together with any other leases of the Unit executed prior to the Execution Date, collectively, the “Initial Leases”) without offering same to Tenant in accordance with the terms of Tenant’s Floating Expansion Option and (ii) lease all or any portion of any space demised by the Initial Leases (without offering same to Tenant in accordance with the terms of Tenant’s Floating Expansion Option) to the occupant thereof at the time for an additional renewal or extension term or terms but only substantially pursuant to the express terms of the Initial Lease for such occupant’s lease (but not otherwise); (b) as to any floor in the Building which Landlord recaptures by subleasing from any tenant or other occupant, in connection with a proposed assignment or sublet by such tenant or other occupant, Landlord shall have the absolute right to sublease all or any portion of such floor to such tenant’s or other occupant’s proposed assignee or subtenant without offering same to Tenant in accordance with the terms of Tenant’s Floating Expansion Option, (c) any exercise by Tenant of Tenant’s Floating Expansion Option shall be subject and subordinate in all respects to (i) the fixed expansion rights of tenants expressly set forth in such tenants’ leases which designate specific space in the Unit or the Building in such tenant’s lease (but not, except as hereinafter provided, any right of first refusal or right of first offer or floating option contained in any such leases) and (ii) rights of first offer space contained in the Initial Leases for the tenants leasing the 31st, 32nd, 33rd, 36th, 37th, 39th, 40th, 41st, 42nd and 43rd floors of the Building (collectively, the “Priority ROFO Tenants”) and (d) Tenant’s rights pursuant to Tenant’s Floating Expansion Option shall be subject and subordinate in all respects to any expansion rights and/or rights of first offer of NYTC under the Unit Ground Lease and/or the Condominium Documents, including, without limitation, any such rights that designate specific space in the Unit or the Building.
38.11
Except as set forth in this Article 38, all of the terms of this Lease shall apply to any Floating Option Space which is added to the Demised Premises pursuant to this Article 38 as if such Floating Option Space were originally included as part of the Demised Premises. Except as provided in Section 38.03 hereof, Tenant may not lease less than an entire floor of any Floating Option Space offered to Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Article 38. Any termination, cancellation or surrender of this Lease shall terminate any rights of Tenant under this Article. Any assignment of this Lease to any Person that is not a Permitted Entity shall terminate any rights of Tenant with respect to the Floating Expansion Option. Tenant agrees to keep all information with respect to Landlord’s intentions relating to the Floating Option Space in strict confidence except Tenant may disclose such information to its lawyers, accountants, brokers and advisors.
229
39.01
A.
Provided that this Lease is in full force and effect immediately prior to the date Tenant delivers to Landlord the First Renewal Election Notice, Tenant shall have the option to renew the Initial Term (the “First Renewal Option”) with respect to all of the then Demised Premises (except as otherwise expressly provided below) for one (1) additional (i) ten (10) year term (the “Ten-Year Renewal Option”) or (ii) a five (5) year term (the “Five-Year Renewal Option”) (as irrevocably selected by Tenant in the First Renewal Election Notice, the “First Renewal Term”) commencing on the day (the “First Renewal Term Commencement Date”) immediately following the Stated Expiration Date and ending on the last day of the month preceding the month in which occurs the tenth (10th) (or fifth (5th), as the case may be) anniversary of the First Renewal Term Commencement Date (the “Stated First Renewal Term Expiration Date”), which applicable date shall thereupon be and become the Expiration Date of this Lease. The First Renewal Option shall be exercised by notice to Landlord (the “First Renewal Election Notice”) delivered no later than the date which is eighteen (18) months prior to the Stated Expiration Date. Except as provided in Section 39.03 hereof, the annual Fixed Rent for the First Renewal Term shall be equal to 100% of the fair market rental value of the Renewal Premises determined pursuant to the provisions of Sections 39.04B and 39.05 hereof except as provided in Section 39.03 hereof as it relates to Tenant’s Roof Top Space if the same is included in the Renewal Premises.
B.
Provided that (i) Tenant validly exercises the Five-Year Renewal Option (as opposed to the Ten-Year Renewal Option, it being agreed that if Tenant has exercised the Ten-Year Renewal Option, then Tenant shall have no right to renew the First Renewal Term and this Section 39.01B shall be null and void) in accordance with the terms hereof and (ii) this Lease is in full force and effect immediately prior to the date Tenant delivers to Landlord the Second Renewal Election Notice, Tenant shall have the option to renew the First Renewal Term (the “Second Renewal Option”) with respect to all of the then Demised Premises (except as otherwise expressly provided below) for one (1) additional five (5) year term (the “Second Renewal Term”) commencing on the day (the “Second Renewal Term Commencement Date”) immediately following the Stated First Renewal Term Expiration Date and ending on the last day of the month preceding the month in which occurs the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Second Renewal Term Commencement Date (the “Stated Second Renewal Term Expiration Date”), which date shall thereupon be and become the Expiration Date of this Lease. The Second Renewal Option shall be exercised by written notice to Landlord (the “Second Renewal Election Notice”) delivered no later than the date which is eighteen (18) months prior to the Stated First Renewal Term Expiration Date. The annual Fixed Rent for the Second Renewal Term shall be equal to 100% of the fair market rental value of the Renewal Premises determined pursuant to the provisions of Section 39.04B and 39.05 hereof, except as provided in Section 39.03 hereof as it relates to the Tenant’s Roof Top Space if the same is included in the Renewal Premises.
C.
At Tenant’s option, in lieu of exercising the First Renewal Option (and, to the extent applicable, the Second Renewal Option) with respect to the then entire Premises, Tenant may exercise the Renewal Option with respect to a portion of the then Premises consisting of three (3) or more full floors of the Demised Premises in one (1) contiguous block
230
(from the lowermost floor upward or vice versa, as determined by Tenant and as is specified in the applicable Renewal Election Notice). If the Premises does not then consist of one (1) contiguous block of full floors, Tenant may exercise the Renewal Option with respect to a portion of the then Premises consisting of three (3) or more full floors of the Demised Premises in one (1) or more contiguous blocks (from the lowermost floor upward or vice versa with respect to each such block, as determined by Tenant and as specified in the applicable Renewal Election Notice), it being agreed that Tenant shall designate all of the floors in any contiguous block then comprising the Premises before designating floors from any other contiguous block then comprising the Premises. Subject to the foregoing restrictions, if the Demised Premises includes any partial floors, Tenant may exercise such Renewal Option with respect to the entirety of each such partial floor only. To the extent the then Premises shall include any satellite non-contiguous floors (each, a “Satellite Floor”), Tenant may elect to include such Satellite Floors within the Renewal Premises, provided that, in addition to any Satellite Floor, the Renewal Premises consists of at least three (3) full floors of the Demised Premises. Each Renewal Election Notice shall, in accordance with the applicable terms hereof, set forth (i) the number of full floors and partial floors with respect to which Tenant shall elect to exercise the Renewal Option and any Satellite Floors to be included therein and (ii) the full floors that shall comprise the Renewal Premises (including any Satellite Floors to be included therein). The portion of the Demised Premises with respect to which Tenant shall exercise the Renewal Option (which may include the then entire Premises at the election of Tenant) shall be referred to herein collectively as the “Renewal Premises.” The space with respect to which Tenant shall not exercise the Renewal Option shall be referred to herein collectively as the “Returned Space.” If Tenant desires to include the Storage Space in the Renewal Premises (it being agreed that Tenant may not include only the Storage Space or a portion thereof in the Renewal Premises), Tenant must Occupy at least three (3) full floors of Office Space at the time of delivery of the Renewal Election Notice. If Tenant elects to include Tenant’s Roof Top Space or the 50th floor of the Building in the Renewal Premises, then the Renewal Premises must include such 50th Floor or Tenant’s Roof Top Space, as the case may, together with, in either instance, if leased by Tenant hereunder, the 51st Floor Space.
39.02
The Renewal Option may not be exercised by Tenant unless at the time of the delivery by Tenant of any Renewal Election Notice (unless waived by Landlord in its sole discretion), all of the applicable Threshold Conditions are satisfied. If all of the applicable Threshold Conditions shall not be satisfied, then (a) such Renewal Election Notice shall be null and void and of no force or effect, (b) Tenant shall be deemed to have irrevocably waived any rights pursuant to this Article 39 that Tenant may have had to renew the applicable Term of this Lease, (c) this Article 39 shall immediately be null and void and of no further force or effect and (d) Tenant agrees upon request of Landlord to confirm such non-exercise in writing, but failure to do so by Tenant shall not operate to revive any rights of Tenant under this Article 39.
39.03
This Lease, as so extended during the Renewal Term, shall be upon the same terms and conditions as contained in this Lease, except that (a) the annual Fixed Rent for the applicable Renewal Term shall be a sum equal to 100% of the then fair market rental value of the Renewal Premises (which may include periodic increases to the extent consistent with the then current market terms for such space) determined as of the applicable Renewal Term Commencement Date except, if included in the Renewal Premises, the Fixed Rent during the Renewal Term for Tenant’s Roof Top Space (i.e., the RTS Fixed Rent) shall be as provided in
231
Section 3.01A(iii)(E) hereof; (b) the Renewal Premises shall be delivered in its then “as is” condition; (c) Landlord shall not be required to do any work to the Renewal Premises or to provide any work allowance or free rent period or concession in connection with Tenant’s continued occupancy of the Renewal Premises; (d) the base years for escalations with respect to Operating Expenses and Taxes shall be the then current base years (i.e., the fiscal year (for Taxes) or calendar year (for Operating Expenses) in which the applicable Renewal Term Commencement Date occurs); and (e) if Tenant exercises the Five-Year Renewal Option, this Lease shall contain the Second Renewal Option, but if Tenant exercises the Ten-Year Renewal Option or if Tenant extends the First Renewal Term for the Second Renewal Term, this Lease shall not contain any further Renewal Option.
39.04
The exercise of each Renewal Option shall only be effective upon, and in strict compliance with, the following terms and conditions:
A.
Each Renewal Option must be exercised in the manner specifically set forth in Section 39.01 hereof or such option shall be deemed waived and all of Tenant’s rights with respect thereto shall wholly cease, terminate and expire. Time shall be of the essence in connection with the exercise of each Renewal Option and the delivery of the applicable Renewal Election Notice by Tenant hereunder. Each Renewal Election Notice shall be irrevocable by Tenant upon delivery. If Tenant shall fail to duly exercise any Renewal Option, (i) this Article 39 shall immediately be null and void and of no further force or effect and (ii) Tenant agrees upon request of Landlord to confirm such non-exercise in writing, but failure to do so by Tenant shall not operate to revive any rights of Tenant under this Article. If any Renewal Election Notice does not strictly comply with the requirements set forth herein, it shall be deemed in such event that Tenant failed to timely deliver such Renewal Election Notice.
B.
Landlord and Tenant shall seek to agree in writing as to the amount of such fair market rental value for the Renewal Premises, taking into consideration all then relevant factors.
39.05
If Landlord and Tenant shall not agree as to such fair market rental value by the date which is sixteen (16) months prior to the then stated Expiration Date, then each of Landlord and Tenant, by no later than fifteen (15) months prior to the then stated Expiration Date, shall simultaneously meet and exchange notices setting forth the annual fair market rental value that such party believes is the basis for the Fixed Rent which should be paid by Tenant hereunder (which amount may differ from any sum previously proposed by the parties) and in such event said annual fair market rental value for the Renewal Premises shall be determined by arbitration in accordance with the provisions of Section 25.01B of this Lease.
39.06
A.
Tenant shall remain liable to pay all Fixed Rent and Additional Rent with respect to the Returned Space through the applicable Expiration Date and for the cure of any uncured default under this Lease existing on the applicable Expiration Date with respect to the Returned Space. Such defaults shall be cured within the periods provided in this Lease and such liability of Tenant shall survive the applicable Expiration Date.
B.
On or prior to the applicable Expiration Date, Tenant shall vacate the Returned Space and surrender possession thereof to Landlord in accordance with all of the
232
applicable terms of this Lease, including, without limitation, the terms of Section 13.01C hereof. Prior to the applicable Expiration Date, Tenant shall also, upon and subject to the applicable terms of this Lease, (i) separate any utility or other mechanical connections within the Returned Space from the Renewal Premises, (ii) reserved, (iii) redistribute any electricity to the extent necessary so that each floor(s) of the Returned Space has an electrical capacity in compliance with the terms of Section 7.01 of this Lease and (iv) to the extent the Renewal Premises does not consist of the then entire Demised Premises, remove any internal staircases and slab over the openings therefor located in the Returned Space and any internal staircase(s) connecting the Returned Space to the Renewal Premises (each date that Tenant shall surrender possession of the entire Returned Space to Landlord in accordance with all of the terms of this Lease shall be referred to herein as the “Returned Space Surrender Date”). If Tenant fails to vacate and surrender the Returned Space on or before the applicable Expiration Date in accordance with the foregoing and such failure shall continue for ten (10) business days after notice thereof to Tenant, Tenant shall be deemed to be holding over with respect thereto, entitling Landlord to exercise all of its rights and remedies under Section 22.02 of this Lease.
C.
As of the Returned Space Surrender Date, Landlord and Tenant shall be relieved of any obligations under this Lease solely with respect to the Returned Space, except (i) for those obligations accruing prior to the Returned Space Surrender Date, (ii) for any third party claims against Tenant with respect to the Returned Space accruing through the Returned Space Surrender Date and (iii) for those obligations that expressly survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. At Landlord’s request, Tenant and Landlord shall execute an agreement in mutually satisfactory form stating any necessary amendments to this Lease on account of the surrender by Tenant of the Returned Space. Landlord’s or Tenant’s failure or refusal to sign such agreement shall in no event affect the termination of this Lease with respect to the Returned Space in accordance with the terms hereof.
39.07
A.
If, on the applicable Renewal Term Commencement Date, the amount of the Fixed Rent payable during such Renewal Term in accordance with the foregoing paragraphs of this Article shall not have been determined, then, pending such determination, Tenant shall pay Fixed Rent at the rate which is the average of the rates proposed by Landlord and Tenant for such Renewal Term in their respective arbitration notices (the “Temporary Rate”) except that the RTS Fixed Rent shall be determined based upon such Temporary Rate until the Fixed Rent for the Office Space is finally determined. After the determination by arbitration of the annual fair market rental value of the Renewal Premises, if such rental value is greater or less than the “Temporary Rate,” Landlord shall promptly pay to Tenant the excess of the Temporary Rate over (or Tenant shall promptly pay to Landlord the shortfall of the Temporary Rate below) the rental value determined by the arbitration, together with interest at the Prime Rate on the amount so paid; and the Fixed Rent so determined by the arbitration shall be payable during such Renewal Term.
B.
Upon determination of the Fixed Rent for the applicable Renewal Term, Landlord and Tenant shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to each other an agreement specifying the amount of the Fixed Rent for such Renewal Term (but any failure to execute such an agreement shall not affect Tenant’s obligation to pay and Landlord’s right to receive such Fixed Rent). Any termination, cancellation or surrender of this Lease shall terminate any rights of Tenant under this Article.

NAME OF BUILDING; SIGNAGE
40.01
Subject to any rights of NYTC and except as otherwise provided herein, Landlord shall have the right at any time without notice to or the consent of Tenant to change the name, number or designation by which the Building may be known.
40.02
A.
Provided (i) the applicable Signage Threshold Conditions are satisfied and (ii) this Lease is in full force and effect, but subject to any restrictions or limitations in the Superior Obligation Instruments, (a) Landlord agrees that it shall not install any Prohibited Signage and (b) a Permitted Entity (but only if not a law firm) shall have the exclusive right to have Landlord install Building standard signage in substantially the form and design as shown on Exhibit 40.02A annexed hereto and made a part hereof identifying such Permitted Entity on each of the signage pylons located (or to be located) at or near the exterior entrance of the Building located on Eighth Avenue in the locations shown on Exhibit 40.02A; provided (1) subject to the provisions hereof, each such pylon may list only a single Permitted Entity, and (2) Tenant shall be listed at the highest location on each such signage pylon. Tenant acknowledges that the Current Form Condominium Documents limit the number of Persons that are permitted be identified and/or to have signage rights at the Building and that, as a result of rights granted by Landlord in Initial Leases entered into prior to the Execution Date, the signage pylon referred to in this Section is only permitted to identify a single Person. Notwithstanding such limitation, Landlord agrees to use best efforts (but without any obligation to commence any action or proceeding or pay any fee or other compensation to the Condominium or any other Person) to have the Condominium Board (it being agreed that Landlord will cause any voting rights that any Person Landlord Controls on the Condominium Board to vote in favor thereof) to agree to increase the total number of Persons that may be identified on such pylon to three (3) or more (it being agreed any identification on each pylon must mirror one another). In the event that the Condominium Board agrees to increase the number of Persons that may be identified on such pylon and provided that the applicable Signage Threshold Conditions are then satisfied, up to two (2) additional Permitted Entities (but only if not law firms) but not any other Tenant Party (including any Eligible Interior Signage Subtenant) shall be permitted to be identified on such pylons. If the Condominium Board does not agree to any such request, Landlord agrees, provided that the applicable Signage Threshold Conditions are then satisfied, to seek the Condominium Board’s consent at the request of Tenant but not more frequently than once every six (6) months.

Provided (i) the applicable Signage Threshold Conditions are satisfied and (ii) this Lease is in full force and effect, but subject to any restrictions or limitations in the Superior Obligation Instruments, Tenant shall have the right to have Landlord install two (2) Building standard signs, in the aggregate, in substantially the form and design as shown on Exhibit 40.02B annexed hereto and made a part hereof identifying not more than two (2) Persons, in the aggregate, below the top signage, which Persons must be either Tenant, an Affiliate of Tenant or an Eligible Interior Signage Subtenant on or near the “North Concierge Desk” in the lobby of the Building (in a location reasonably designated by Landlord; it being acknowledged by Tenant that the top position for signage at the North Concierge Desk has been reserved to another tenant of the Unit).
234
C.
Provided (i) the applicable Signage Threshold Conditions are satisfied and (ii) this Lease is in full force and effect, but subject to any restrictions or limitations in the Superior Obligation Instruments, Tenant shall have the right to have Landlord install one (1) Building standard sign in substantially the form and design as shown on Exhibit 40.02B annexed hereto and made a part hereof identifying not more than one (1) Person in a location designated by Landlord which Person must be either Tenant, an Affiliate of Tenant or an Eligible Interior Signage Subtenant on or near the “North Concierge Desk” in the lobby of the Building.
D.
If any applicable Signage Threshold Conditions are not satisfied at any time during the Term, then Landlord may, at its option and at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, remove any signage installed for Tenant in accordance with the provisions this Section 40.02. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to Tenant’s signage rights set forth in clause (b) of Section 40.02A hereof only, if all of the applicable Signage Threshold Conditions with respect thereto are satisfied other than the required four (4) full floors Office Space Occupancy condition, but a Permitted Entity does Occupy three (3) full floors of Office Space, in such case only, the Permitted Entities (for so long as such three (3) full floor Occupancy test is satisfied) will continue to have the right to have the same number (but in no event more than three (3) per pylon) of Permitted Entities identified (but only if not law firms) on each of the signage pylons at the exterior entrance of the Building located on Eighth Avenue that such Permitted Entity was permitted to have immediately prior to such condition no longer being satisfied; provided, however, that (i) such signage right shall no longer be exclusive to such Permitted Entity, (ii) Landlord shall have the right, to the extent permitted under the Condominium Documents or otherwise consented to by the Condominium Board, to have other Persons identified on such pylons, but only if such Person is a tenant or occupant of the Building, and in connection therewith, if Tenant then has signage identifying permitted Persons on each of the three (3) palettes on each of such pylons, Landlord shall have the right to relocate two (2) of the names on such palettes to a single palette (which names shall be the names on the lowest two (2) palettes unless Tenant advises Landlord otherwise within ten (10) Business Days after Landlord’s request) in order to place signage on the third palette on each of such pylons for a Person leasing or occupying space at the Building, and (iii) if such Permitted Entity Occupies less than three (3) full floors of Office Space, no Permitted Entity or any other Tenant Party shall be permitted to have any signage on such pylons and Landlord shall have the right to remove the same as provided in the first sentence of this Section.
40.03

40.04
Tenant shall have the right, from time to time (but not more frequently than twice in any two (2) calendar year period, to change the Persons identified as Competitors on Exhibit 40.04 (or replacements of such Persons as permitted hereunder) provided that (i) Tenant gives notice of such change to Landlord between January 1st and February 28th of the applicable calendar year, (ii) Tenant shall not have the right to change more than three (3) Competitors during any such (2) calendar year period and (iii) in no event shall there be more than eight (8) Competitors at any time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall not be bound by any change to such list which includes a Person (or an Affiliate or Principal thereof) who Landlord is then engaged in bona fide negotiations with for space at the Building at the time Tenant proposes such change or was engaged in bona fide negotiations with for space at the Building in the prior six (6) month period and Landlord, in good faith, intends to resume such negotiations with such Person (or an Affiliate or Principal thereof). Landlord agrees to promptly notify Tenant of the same upon Tenant advising of the proposed inclusion as a Competitor such Person. In such event, if Landlord enters into a lease with such Person (or an Affiliate or Principal thereof), then such Person with whom Landlord enters into a lease with shall not be deemed to be a Competitor hereunder. For the purposes hereof, bona fide negotiations shall mean the receipt of a written offer by Landlord from such Person (or an Affiliate or Principal thereof) to lease space in the Building, the exchange of proposed term sheets and/or delivery of letters of intent or similar written expressions of a desire to enter into a lease of space at the Building.
40.05
No signs, whether temporary or permanent, shall be affixed, installed or attached to any (a) Supplemental Cooling System and/or Premises Emergency Generator Equipment installed by or behalf of Tenant other than signs installed thereon by the manufacturer thereof or (b) area in or about which the same is installed unless required by applicable Legal Requirements and/or Insurance Requirements.

The Message Center shall be operated in accordance with the terms set forth in this Article, provided, however, Landlord may alter the location of and procedures to be followed
236

41.02
The Message Center shall be operated on Business Days from 8:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M. (the “Message Center Operating Hours”). At all times other than the Message Center Operating Hours, messenger deliveries/pick ups will be handled through the security desk located in the Lobby.

43.02
A.
In connection with the Emergency Generators available at the Building, Landlord agrees (i) that Tenant, subject to the terms hereof, shall have the right to use a maximum connected load of 375 kilowatts of emergency electrical power (as the same may be increased as provided herein, “Tenant’s Emergency Power”) from one or more of Landlord’s emergency generators to be located on the roof of the Building (collectively, the “Emergency Generators”) as described in the Base Building Criteria and (ii) subject to the provisions of Section 43.03 hereof, to reserve for Tenant’s future use a maximum connected load of 125 kilowatts of emergency electrical power (as the same may be increased as provided herein, “Tenant’s Reserved Emergency Power”).

From and after the date of such notice, Tenant’s Emergency Power shall be increased by the amount of Tenant’s Reserved Emergency Power and thereafter Tenant shall no longer have any Tenant’s Reserved Emergency Power.
B.
In the event Tenant leases the Short Term Expansion Space as provided herein, Tenant shall have the right to either (a) increase Tenant’s Emergency Power by 100 kilowatts of emergency electrical power or (b) increase Tenant’s Reserved Emergency Power by 100 kilowatts of emergency electrical power. If Tenant elects to increase Tenant’s Emergency Power or Tenant’s Reserved Emergency Power as aforesaid, Tenant shall give notice thereof to Landlord by a date that is no later than December 31, 2007, which notice shall specify whether Tenant has elected to add such 100 kilowatts of emergency electrical power to Tenant’s Emergency Power or to Tenant’s Reserved Emergency Power. If Tenant fails to timely send such notice, Tenant shall not have the right to increase Tenant’s Emergency Power or Tenant’s Reserved Emergency Power pursuant to this Section 43.02B as result of the leasing of the Short Term Expansion Space.
C.
If Tenant hereafter leases additional space in the Unit from Landlord, subject to there then being available capacity in the Emergency Generators, Landlord shall make available to Tenant an additional 100 kilowatts of emergency power for each additional full floor (or a pro rata portion of any partial floor) of the Unit that Tenant so leases from Landlord. If Tenant desires to utilize such additional emergency power, then Tenant shall give notice thereof to Landlord by a date that is no later than six (6) months following the date on which Landlord delivers such additional space to Tenant, which notice shall specify the increase in Tenant’s Emergency Power that Tenant desires. If Tenant fails to timely send such notice, Tenant shall have no right to increase Tenant’s Emergency Power pursuant to this Section 43.02C as a resulting of the leasing of such additional space.
D.
In consideration of making of Tenant’s Emergency Power available to Tenant and reserving Tenant’s Reserved Emergency Power as provided herein, Tenant shall, from and after the Rent Commencement Date and continuing throughout the remainder of the Term, pay to Landlord, in equal monthly installments, whether or not Tenant’s Emergency Power or Tenant’s Reserved Emergency Power is utilized, as Additional Rent, an amount equal to the sum of (i) two hundred dollars ($200) per kilowatt of Tenant’s Emergency Power (such sum to be increased each year after the Commencement Date by the percentage increase in the CPI, if any) per year (which amount shall be prorated with respect to any partial years or months)
242
and (ii) one hundred dollars ($100) per kilowatt of Tenant’s Reserved Emergency Power (such sum to be increased each year after the Commencement Date by the percentage increase in the CPI, if any) per year (which amount shall be prorated with respect to any partial years or months) plus Tenant’s proportionate share (based on the aggregate capacity of Tenant’s Emergency Power and Tenant’s Emergency Reserved Power over the then total reserved emergency power capacity available to tenants in the Unit using the Emergency Generators and the capacity of the Unit Generator) of the actual cost of fuel consumed by the Emergency Generators and the Unit Generators (unless such fuel is separately metered for the Emergency Generator and the Unit Generator, in which event such cost and such share shall be based solely on the Emergency Generators).
E.
Tenant shall not sell Tenant’s Emergency Power or Tenant’s Emergency Reserved Power to (i) any other tenant or occupant of the Building (except that Tenant may permit, with Landlord’s consent (not to be unreasonably withheld), any permitted subtenant of the Premises to use all or part of the capacity of Tenant’s Emergency Power provided that Tenant does not directly or indirectly charge such permitted subtenant for the same) or (ii) the general public.
F.
Landlord shall maintain, operate, repair and conduct regular tests to confirm the proper functioning of the Emergency Generators in a manner consistent with Comparable Buildings in the Times Square area.
43.03
If (a) Tenant has not converted all or any portion of Tenant’s Reserved Emergency Power to Tenant’s Emergency Power hereunder, (b) Landlord does not have any excess reserved capacity in the Emergency Generators available to tenants of the Unit and (c) Landlord requires additional capacity to be provided to another tenant or occupant of the Building, then, in such event, Landlord shall have the right, without any payment to Tenant or refund to Tenant of any sums theretofore paid by Tenant to Landlord on account of Tenant’s Reserved Emergency Power, upon not less than sixty (60) days’ prior notice, to utilize all or a portion of Tenant’s Reserved Emergency Power as Landlord requires to provide to another tenant or occupant of the Building, in which event Tenant shall no longer have the right to convert Tenant’s Reserved Emergency Power (or such portion thereof that Landlord requires for another tenant or occupant of the Building) to Tenant’s Emergency Power. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, within thirty (30) days after receipt of Landlord’s notice as aforesaid, Tenant elects to convert Tenant’s Reserved Emergency Power into Tenant’s Emergency Power, Tenant shall give Landlord notice thereof, and, in such event (i) Landlord shall not be permitted to allow another tenant or occupant of the Building to utilize Tenant’s Reserved Emergency Power and (ii) Tenant’s Emergency Power shall be increased by the amount of Tenant’s Reserved Emergency Power Landlord desired to utilize and thereafter Tenant’s Reserved Emergency Power shall be reduced by the amount by which Tenant’s Emergency Power was increased as a result thereof.
43.04
Landlord shall (subject to availability) maintain fuel in the fuel tank at a level necessary to operate the Unit Generator and the Emergency Generator for a commercially reasonable period and otherwise in accordance with customary practices of prudent owners of Comparable Buildings in the Times Square area. Landlord reserves the right, in Landlord’s reasonable discretion to the extent required to conserve fuel due to the fact that sufficient
243
supplies may not be then reasonably available, to temporarily suspend or curtail the operation of the Emergency Generators or, if applicable, Tenant’s right to use the Premises Emergency Generator, pending the next fuel delivery in order to provide certain Building services through the Unit Generator required by applicable Legal Requirements. Landlord shall endeavor to provide Tenant with at least three (3) hours prior notice of any such shutdown.
43.05
Subject to the provisions of this Lease (including, without limitation, Article 13 hereof) and the limitations contained herein, Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, shall perform all work and make all connections necessary to distribute Tenant’s Emergency Power or emergency power from the Premises Emergency Generator, as the case may be, to the Premises and to Tenant’s equipment including installation of automatic transfer switches, disconnect switches, distribution panels, wire and cabling. Tenant shall have the right to distribute Tenant’s Emergency Power or emergency power from the Premises Emergency Generator, as the case may be, throughout the Premises as Tenant so determines (subject to the approval by Landlord of Tenant’s distribution plan, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld). Tenant’s connection to Tenant’s Emergency Power (but not connection of the Premises Emergency Generator) shall be via the xxxx duct located in the electric closet(s) serving the Office Space as described in the Base Building Criteria.
43.06
Tenant shall maintain in good condition any such connections that Tenant makes to the Emergency Generators or the Premises Emergency Generator, as the case may be. In addition, at all times, Tenant shall fully cooperate with Landlord and shall abide by such reasonable regulations and requirements which Landlord may prescribe for the proper functioning and protection of the Emergency Generators, provided that such rules and regulations are generally applicable to all tenants in the Building utilizing the Emergency Generators and Landlord does not enforce such rules and regulations against Tenant in a discriminatory manner. Any damages resulting from the use by Tenant of the Emergency Generators or the Premises Emergency Generator, as the case may be, shall be borne by Tenant and Landlord shall not have liability to Tenant on account thereof.
43.07
Upon notice to Tenant, Landlord shall have the immediate right to temporarily disconnect Tenant’s connection facilities, temporarily discontinue providing Tenant’s Emergency Power from the Emergency Generators and/or temporarily suspend Tenant’s right to utilize (if installed by Tenant) the Supplemental Cooling System and/or the Premises Emergency Generator Equipment if (a) Landlord, in good faith, determines that a dangerous condition exists and/or (b) Tenant’s connection facilities (i) have been installed improperly or without all necessary approvals of relevant Governmental Authorities or (ii) fail to comply with the connection thereto as approved by Landlord including, with respect to Tenant’s Reserved Power, exceeding a connected load equal to Tenant’s Emergency Power; it being agreed that any such temporary disconnection or discontinuance will only be for as long as any such condition exists. Landlord, its agents and engineers and consultants may survey Tenant’s connected load to the Emergency Generators from time to time during Business Hours upon reasonable prior notice (except during an emergency, in which event no prior notice shall be required), at Landlord’s expense, to determine whether Tenant is complying with its obligations under this Article unless such survey shows that Tenant has exceeded Tenant’s Emergency Power or otherwise violated Tenant’s obligations with respect to (if installed by Tenant) the Supplemental Cooling System and/or the Premises Emergency Generator Equipment in which
244
event Tenant shall be responsible for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection therewith. Tenant shall compile and promptly provide to Landlord a list of sheddable and critical loads so that, if Landlord determines that circumstances warrant during an emergency (as may occur, for example, if Landlord’s diesel system cannot operate at full capacity) specified loads can be disconnected in the manner so identified in advance by the parties.
43.08
Tenant understands and agrees that Landlord provides emergency power on an as-is where-is basis, without express or implied warranties of any kind, including without limitation warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. In no event shall Landlord be liable for any damages including but not limited consequential, indirect, special exemplary, or punitive damages, or any lost revenues or lost profits, to the extent that the Emergency Generators or the Premises Emergency Generator, as the case may be, fail to provide emergency power to Tenant or that the Emergency Generators or the Premises Emergency Generator, as the case may be, damage the Tenant’s systems or property.
43.09
The rights granted in this Article 43 are given in connection with, and as part of the rights created under, this Lease and are not separately transferable or assignable.
ARTICLE 44
TENANT’S ROOF TOP SPACE
44.01
Delivery of Tenant’s Roof Top Space.
A.
Subject to the requirements and limitations set forth herein and in the Superior Instruments, Landlord shall cause the RTS Contractor to perform RTS Build-out Work substantially in accordance with the RTS Final CDs. The “RTS Commencement Date” shall be deemed to be the date on which the following conditions (collectively, the “RTS Ready for Occupancy Conditions”) have been satisfied (or deemed satisfied) in accordance with the RTS Final CDs and this Article 44:
(i)
The RTS Build-out Work shall have been performed and Substantially Completed substantially in accordance with the RTS Final CDs (as the same may be modified as a result of field conditions or RTS Change Orders or as provided herein) and compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements;
(ii)
The RTS Shuttle Elevator shall have been installed and shall be operational in accordance with its specifications and any enclosures installed in the RTS Shuttle Elevator Work Area (if any) in connection with the installation of the RTS Shuttle Elevator shall have been removed; it being acknowledged by Tenant that (a) during the performance of the RTS Build-out Work until Substantial Completion thereof Tenant shall not have access to and shall not perform any work in those portions of the 49th and 50th floors of the Building and/or the 51st Floor Space mutually agreed upon and as are reasonably necessary in accordance with good construction practice to perform the work necessary, and store material reasonably necessary for, the RTS Build-out Work relating to the RTS Shuttle Elevator, to be performed in a good and workerlike manner (such
245
area(s) are collectively, the “RTS Shuttle Elevator Work Area”) and (b) Landlord shall not have liability to Tenant therefor and the same shall not constitute an actual or constructive eviction and no diminution or abatement of rent or other compensation shall or will be claimed by Tenant as a result thereof, nor shall this Lease or any of the obligations of Tenant be affected or reduced by reason thereof;
(iii)
If applicable, all RTS Build-out Work required to be performed in the 51st floor of the Building and the 51st Floor Space has been Substantially Completed; and
(iv)
Delivery of a temporary certificate of occupancy for (A) Tenant’s Roof Top Space permitting the use of Tenant’s Roof Top Space as permitted under this Lease and (B) if leased by Tenant hereunder, the 51st Floor Space permitting the use of the 51st Floor Space as permitted under this Lease (collectively, the “RTS TCO”).
B.
(i)
Landlord shall notify Tenant at least fifteen (15) Business Days in advance of the anticipated satisfaction of the RTS Ready for Occupancy Conditions (a “RTS Delivery Condition Notice”) setting forth the date on which Landlord reasonably believes the RTS Ready for Occupancy Conditions will be satisfied (such date, as the same may be revised by the RTS Confirmation Notice, is referred to herein as the “RTS Anticipated Delivery Date”).
(ii)
At least five (5) Business Days prior to the RTS Anticipated Delivery Date specified in the RTS Delivery Condition Notice, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a second notice (the “RTS Confirmation Notice”) confirming the RTS Anticipated Delivery Date set forth in the RTS Delivery Condition Notice, or if such delivery date is no longer expected to be met by Landlord, the RTS Confirmation Notice shall set forth the revised anticipated delivery date (which may be later but not earlier than the RTS Anticipated Delivery Date set forth in the RTS Delivery Condition Notice).
(iii)
Within five (5) Business Days after Tenant’s receipt of a RTS Confirmation Notice, Tenant shall establish a date (which date shall be no later than five (5) Business Days after Tenant’s receipt of the RTS Confirmation Notice) reasonably acceptable to Landlord (a “RTS Walk-Through Date”) on which Landlord and Tenant shall jointly inspect Tenant’s Roof Top Space (and, if applicable, the 51st Floor Space) to determine if the RTS Ready for Occupancy Conditions have been satisfied in accordance with the terms hereof. After the delivery to Tenant of the RTS Confirmation Notice, and upon reasonable prior notice from Landlord, Tenant shall use reasonable efforts to meet with Landlord at the Building, accompanied by Tenant’s Construction Representative, project manager and such of Tenant’s architectural, engineering and/or construction consultants (collectively, “Tenant’s Construction Team”) as Tenant may reasonably designate or Landlord shall have reasonably requested, prior to the RTS Anticipated Delivery Date specified in the RTS Confirmation Notice, in order to assist Landlord in identifying any incomplete RTS Ready for Occupancy
246
Conditions and to facilitate preparation of a draft list of Punch List Items with respect to the RTS Build-out Work (hereinafter, the “RTS Punch List Items”). Tenant shall deliver to Landlord the list of the RTS Punch List Items no later than five (5) Business Days after the RTS Walk-Through Date. If Tenant fails to give notice of such list, the RTS Build-out Work shall be deemed completed as of the date set forth in the RTS Confirmation Notice. If within five (5) Business Days after Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s notice of the RTS Punch List Items, Landlord and Tenant have not agreed upon a final list of the RTS Punch List Items in writing, either party may submit any dispute concerning the list of RTS Punch List Items to arbitration pursuant to Section 25.02 hereof.
(iv)
Any failure of Tenant to reasonably agree on a RTS Walk-Through Date and/or meet with Landlord on a scheduled RTS Walk-Through Date for any reason whatsoever shall be deemed a waiver of Tenant’s right to have a RTS Walk-Through Date and a waiver of Tenant’s right to raise any RTS Punch List Items or RTS Incomplete Work that may reasonably be expected to have been discovered on any such RTS Walk-Through Date.
(v)
In the event that following any joint inspection held on a RTS Walk-Through Date, Tenant reasonably believes that the RTS Ready for Occupancy Conditions, or previously identified and agreed to RTS Incomplete Work, as the case may be, have not been satisfied in accordance with the terms hereof, then, within three (3) Business Days after such RTS Walk-Through Date, Tenant shall furnish Landlord with a written list of incomplete RTS Build-out Work (the “RTS Incomplete Work”) which Tenant reasonably believes must be completed in order for the RTS Ready for Occupancy Conditions to be so satisfied, or previously identified and agreed to RTS Incomplete Work, as the case may be, to be completed. If Tenant fails to furnish a list of RTS Incomplete Work within such time period it shall be deemed to be that there is no RTS Incomplete Work. In the event that Landlord disagrees with Tenant as to the items of RTS Incomplete Work listed by Tenant such matter shall be resolved by arbitration in accordance with Section 25.02 hereof and the items (if any) on Tenant’s list which the Arbitrator determines to be incomplete shall be deemed to be the RTS Incomplete Work hereunder, and the remainder thereof shall be deemed to be RTS Punch List Items. To the extent any RTS Incomplete Work is not a RTS Punch List Item as agreed by the parties or by arbitration as provided in the previous sentence, Landlord shall cause such RTS Incomplete Work to be completed and, once Landlord reasonably believes such RTS Incomplete Work has been completed, Landlord and Tenant will conduct a joint inspection, not later than three (3) Business Days following Landlord’s notice to Tenant of such completion, to determine if the RTS Incomplete Work has been Substantially Completed; it being agreed that the date of such joint inspection shall constitute a RTS Walk-Through Date hereunder.
(vi)
Landlord shall complete all RTS Punch List Items(s) in accordance with good construction practices as soon as practicable (but in any event, subject to extension due to Force Majeure or Tenant Delays, within forty five (45) days)
247
after (A) the date when Landlord and Tenant shall have confirmed their agreement to a list of RTS Punch List Items in writing, or (B) the date when the RTS Punch List Items in question have been determined by an Arbitrator pursuant to Section 25.02 hereof, except for any RTS Punch List Item(s) which (1) in accordance with good construction scheduling practices should only be completed after completion by Tenant of one or more item(s) of Tenant’s Initial Work (it being agreed that Landlord shall commence completion of any such RTS Punch List Items within five (5) Business Days (or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter) after Landlord’s receipt of notice from Tenant of completion of the item(s) of Tenant’s Initial Work in question, and Landlord shall prosecute completion of such RTS Punch List Item(s) diligently and with continuity until completion), and (2) cannot, with due diligence, be completed within such forty five (45) day period, provided that promptly (but not more than three (3) Business Days) after the dates set forth in clauses (A) or (B) above, Landlord shall diligently commence and prosecute the same with continuity to completion).
(vii)
Supplementing the provisions of Section 2.02F hereof, the RTS Build-out Work shall be deemed Substantially Complete notwithstanding the fact that all or a portion of the landscape design and/or plantings therefor have not been completed due to the fact that under commercially reasonable landscaping procedures and horticultural practices, such design and/or plantings should only be completed at a later time of the year and/or when certain weather conditions exist. In such event, Landlord shall commence completion of any such unfinished landscape design and/or plantings as soon as the same should be performed under commercially reasonable landscaping procedures and horticultural practices and, thereafter, Landlord shall prosecute completion of the same diligently and with continuity until completion.
C.
If any Tenant Delay occurs, and such Tenant Delay causes an actual delay in the Substantial Completion and/or the fulfillment of any condition for the satisfaction of the RTS Ready for Occupancy Conditions, then for purposes of determining the date on which RTS Ready for Occupancy Conditions have been satisfied, and (notwithstanding any provision of this Lease or any other exhibits attached to this Lease to the contrary), the RTS Ready for Occupancy Conditions shall be deemed to have been satisfied, on the date on which Landlord would have reasonably estimated to have satisfied the RTS Ready for Occupancy Conditions but for such Tenant Delay.
D.
Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Lease, upon the date when the RTS Ready for Occupancy Conditions shall be satisfied (or deemed satisfied) as provided herein, Tenant shall be deemed to have agreed for all purposes hereof that the RTS Build-out Work shall have been Substantially Completed and Tenant agrees to accept Tenant’s Roof Top Space and, if applicable, the 51st Floor Space on such date, subject to Landlord causing the completion of any RTS Incomplete Work and/or RTS Punch List Items relating thereto.
E.
Landlord shall be responsible for supervising the performance of the RTS Build-out Work in accordance with the terms hereof. Landlord shall be responsible for (i) the timing of the performance of the RTS Build-out Work, such that the RTS Build-out Work shall
248
be Substantially Complete (or deemed to be Substantially Complete) on or before the RTS Target Delivery Date (as such date may extended due to Tenant Delay or Force Majeure delay as provided herein), and (ii) enforcing, on behalf of Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, any guaranties or warranties in respect of the RTS Build-out Work.
F.
Tenant expressly waives any right to rescind this Lease under Section 223-a of the New York Real Property Law or under any present or future statute of similar import then in force and, except as expressly set forth elsewhere in this Lease, further expressly waives the right to recover any damages, direct or indirect, which may result from Landlord’s failure to deliver possession of Tenant’s Roof Top Space or, if leased by Tenant hereunder, the 51st Floor Space by the RTS Target Delivery Date. Tenant agrees that the provisions of this Section 44.01F are intended to constitute “an express provision to the contrary” within the meaning of said Section 223-a.
44.02
Program Information, RTS Construction Drawings.
A.
Not later than November 1, 2006, Tenant shall furnish Landlord and the RTS Architect with a design program for the RTS Build-out Work (the “RTS Proposed Scope of Work”). The RTS Proposed Scope of Work shall (i) include (a) Tenant’s commercially reasonable estimated budget for the cost of the RTS Proposed Scope of Work (which budget is for estimating purposes only and shall be subject to design changes as permitted hereunder and the mutual agreement of Landlord and Tenant), (b) subject to the limitations contained herein, Tenant’s desired square footage for the Enclosed Roof Top Space, (c) whether or not Tenant is electing to include the 51st Floor Space in the Demised Premises (it being agreed that if Tenant has not theretofore sent a notice to Landlord electing to exclude the 51st Floor Space from the Demised Premises pursuant to Section 1.04A hereof, the inclusion of the 51st Floor Space in the RTS Proposed Scope of Work shall be deemed to constitute Tenant’s irrevocable election to add the 51st Floor Space to the Demised Premises as provided in said Section) and (d) such other reasonable information as Landlord or the RTS Architect may reasonably request, (ii) not include any FF&E Work or any programming of computer, telephone or other systems to be installed as part of any FF&E Work or otherwise and (iii) shall be consistent with the DUO, the Design Guidelines and the RTS Guidelines, to the extent applicable. Within ten (10) Business Days after Landlord or the RTS Architect furnishes Tenant with a request specifying such additional information that is reasonably necessary for developing the program for the Tenant’s Roof Top Space and the RTS Build-out Work (or such additional reasonable period of time given the scope of such request), Tenant shall furnish Landlord and the RTS Architect with a response containing all programming information reasonably requested by Landlord and the RTS Architect. Tenant shall cooperate with Landlord and the RTS Architect, and Landlord shall (and shall cause RTS Architect to) cooperate with Tenant, so that the program for the Tenant’s Roof Top Space and the RTS Build-out Work may be completed as promptly as possible.
B.
Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) cause the RTS Architect to prepare and deliver to Tenant and Landlord schematic space plans and specifications based on the RTS Proposed Scope of Work (the “RTS Proposed Schematics”) within sixty (60) days after delivery of the RTS Proposed Scope of Work to Landlord and the RTS Architect and (ii) prepare and deliver to Tenant a schematic design budget estimate for the RTS Proposed Schematics (the “RTS SD Estimate”) within ten (10) Business Days after the RTS Architect has
249
delivered the RTS Proposed Schematics to Landlord and Tenant. The RTS Proposed Schematics and the RTS SD Estimate shall be based on the RTS Proposed Scope of Work and the program information provided to Landlord and RTS Architect in accordance with the terms hereof. Within sixty (60) days after receipt by Tenant of the RTS Proposed Schematics and the RTS SD Estimate, Tenant will give Landlord and RTS Architect a notice, which notice shall include any specific comments that Tenant may have to the RTS Proposed Schematics and the RTS SD Estimate, which comments may be marked on the RTS Proposed Schematics and the RTS SD Estimate. In the event that Tenant fails to timely give such notice, the RTS Proposed Schematics and, subject to Tenant’s rights under Section clause (a) of Section 44.02H hereof, the RTS SD Estimate shall be deemed to be approved by Tenant. The RTS Proposed Schematics, as modified by Tenant's comments timely provided as aforesaid, shall be referred to herein as the "RTS Accepted Schematics".
C.
Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) cause the RTS Architect to prepare and deliver to Tenant and Landlord design development documents based on the RTS Accepted Schematics (the “RTS DDDs”) within forty-five (45) days after the later to occur of (a) delivery of Tenant's comments to the RTS Proposed Schematics and the RTS SD Estimate in accordance with Section 44.02B and (b) forty-five (45) days after receipt by Tenant of the RTS Accepted Schematics and the RTS SD Estimate and (ii) prepare and deliver to Tenant (a) a revised design budget estimate for the RTS Accepted Schematics (the “RTS DDD Estimate”) and (b) a proposed schedule for construction of the RTS Build-out Work (the “RTS DDD Construction Schedule”) within fifteen (15) Business Days after the RTS Architect has delivered the RTS DDDs to Landlord and Tenant. Within forty-five (45) days after receipt by Tenant of the RTS DDDs, the RTS DDD Estimate and the RTS DDD Construction Schedule, Tenant shall give Landlord and RTS Architect a notice, which notice shall include any specific comments that Tenant may have to the RTS DDDs and the RTS DDD Estimate, which comments may be marked on the RTS DDDs and the RTS DDD Estimate. In the event that Tenant fails to timely give such notice, the RTS DDDs and, subject to Tenant’s rights under clause (a) of Section 44.02H hereof, the RTS DDD Estimate shall be deemed to be approved by Tenant.
D.
The RTS DDDs (as modified by Tenant's comments, corrections or revisions timely given in accordance with the terms hereof with respect thereto, as well as any comments which Landlord may have timely received from Tenant concerning the RTS DDD Estimate) shall be revised by the RTS Architect to be fifty percent (50%) complete construction drawings (such revised RTS DDDs are hereinafter referred to as the “RTS 50% CDs”). Landlord agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the RTS Architect to deliver to Tenant the RTS 50% CDs within sixty (60) days after the later to occur of (x) delivery of Tenant's comments on or revisions to the RTS DDDs and the RTS DDD Estimate and (y) forty-five (45) days after receipt by Tenant of the RTS DDDs, the RTS DDD Estimate and the RTS DDD Construction Schedule. Within ten (10) Business Days after Tenant’s receipt of the RTS 50% CDs, Tenant shall give Landlord and RTS Architect a notice setting forth any specific comments that Tenant may have thereto, which comments may be marked on the RTS 50% CDs. In the event that Tenant fails to timely give such notice, the RTS 50% CDs shall be deemed to be approved. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts, within fifteen (15) Business Days after the RTS 50% CDs are approved or deemed approved by Tenant as provided herein, to prepare and deliver to Tenant a revised budget estimate based upon the RTS 50% CDs (the “RTS
250
50% CD Estimate”) and a revised schedule for construction of the RTS Build-out Work (the “RTS 50% CD Construction Schedule”). Within ten (10) Business Days after Tenant’s receipt of the RTS 50% CD Estimate and the RTS 50% CD Construction Schedule, Tenant shall give Landlord and RTS Architect a notice setting forth any specific comments that Tenant may have thereto. In the event that Tenant fails to timely give such notice, the RTS 50% CD Construction Schedule and, subject to Tenant’s rights under clause (a) Section 44.02H hereof, the RTS 50% CD Estimate shall be deemed to be approved.
E.
The RTS 50% CDs (as modified by Tenant's comments, corrections or revisions timely given in accordance with the terms hereof, as well as any comments which Landlord may have timely received from Tenant concerning the RTS 50% CD Estimate and/or the RTS 50% CD Construction Schedule) shall be revised by the RTS Architect to be (i) complete and coordinated for architectural and engineering purposes, (ii) in conformance with all applicable Legal Requirements, and (iii) a complete set of biddable construction plans and specifications (the RTS 50% CDs as so revised are hereinafter referred to as the “RTS Final CDs”). The RTS Final CDs shall be based upon and consistent with the RTS 50% CDs and all Tenant comments on, or corrections or revisions to, the RTS 50% CDs timely given by Tenant in accordance with the terms hereof, as well as any comments which Landlord and the RTS Architect may have timely received from Tenant concerning the RTS 50% CDs Estimate and/or the RTS 50% Construction Schedule. Landlord agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the RTS Architect to deliver to Tenant an initial draft of the RTS Final CDs within sixty (60) days after the later to occur of (i) the date on which Landlord and the RTS Architect shall have received Tenant’s comments on or revisions to the RTS 50% CDs and (ii) ten (10) Business Days after receipt by Tenant of the RTS 50% CDs. The initial draft RTS Final CDs shall be filed by Landlord’s Consultants with the City of New York Department of Buildings and all other Governmental Authorities having jurisdiction. Within ten (10) Business Days after Tenant’s receipt of the initial draft of the RTS Final CDs, Tenant shall give Landlord and the RTS Architect a notice setting forth any specific comments that Tenant may have thereto, which comments may be marked on the initial draft RTS Final CDs. In the event that Tenant fails to timely give such notice, the initial draft RTS Final CDs shall be deemed to be approved.
F.
To the extent that Tenant has timely delivered any comments to the initial or any revised draft RTS Final CDs, Landlord agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the RTS Architect to deliver to Tenant, no later than February 1, 2008, revised draft(s) of the RTS Final CDs until the same are fully approved (or deemed fully approved) in accordance with the terms hereof. Within ten (10) Business Days after Tenant’s receipt of any revised draft RTS Final CDs, Tenant shall give Landlord and RTS Architect a notice setting forth any specific comments that Tenant may have thereto, which comments may be marked on such revised draft RTS Final CDs. In the event that Tenant fails to timely give such notice, the revised draft RTS Final CDs shall be deemed to be approved. Any changes to any draft RTS Final CDs or fully approved RTS Final CDs required by any Governmental Authority shall be disclosed by Landlord to Tenant and shall be incorporated into the RTS Final CDs by the RTS Architect. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts, within fifteen (15) Business Days after the RTS Final CDs are fully approved or deemed fully approved by Tenant as provided herein, to prepare and deliver to Tenant a revised budget estimate based upon the RTS Final CDs (the “RTS Final CD Estimate”) and a revised schedule for construction of the RTS Build-out Work (the “RTS Final CD Construction Schedule”). Within ten (10) Business Days after Tenant’s
251
receipt of the RTS Final CD Estimate and the RTS Final CD Construction Schedule, Tenant shall give Landlord and RTS Architect a notice setting forth any specific comments that Tenant may have thereto. In the event that Tenant fails to timely give such notice, the RTS Final CD Construction Schedule and, subject to Tenant’s rights under clause (a) of Section 44.02H hereof, the RTS Final CD Estimate shall be deemed to be approved.
G.
All Long Lead Items identified on or prior to the completion and approval of the RTS Accepted Schematics shall be identified thereon and on the RTS DDDs, the RTS 50% CDs and the RTS Final CDs (the “RTS Long Lead Item List”), which list shall be approved by Landlord and Tenant. Tenant and Landlord may identify additional Long Lead Items to be added to the RTS Long Lead Item List. In order to expedite completion of the RTS Build-out Work, if in the reasonable judgment of the RTS Architect the same are complete and integrated enough for Tenant to thoroughly review and comment thereon, Landlord may request Tenant to approve pre-purchase specifications of items on the RTS Long Lead Item List and/or portions of the RTS Build-out Work prior to the approval (or deemed approval) of the RTS Final CDs. If Landlord makes such a request, the RTS Architect shall submit to Tenant specific working drawings for the aspect of the RTS Build-out Work in question, together with a reasonably detailed description of the equipment or materials to be purchased (model numbers, names of manufacturers, etc.) and a detailed breakdown of the cost of the work submitted for approval by Tenant. Tenant shall approve or disapprove Landlord’s request within a reasonable period of time, not to exceed ten (10) Business Days after Tenant’s receipt thereof, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld if the same does not increase the estimated RTS Work Costs by any more than a de minimis extent. If Tenant disapproves any such request, Tenant shall thereafter approve or disapprove any revised request therefor within five (5) Business Days after Tenant’s receipt of such revised request, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. Upon Tenant’s approval of such portion of the RTS Build-out Work and/or the RTS Long Lead Item List, Landlord shall authorize the solicitation of Competitive Bids for such portion(s) of the work in the manner provided in Section 44.03D hereof.
H.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 44.02, but subject to any time limitations contained herein, (a) Tenant and Tenant’s Construction Representative shall have full input and control in cost control management, value engineering and decision making regarding design and construction of the structure for the Enclosed Roof Top Space and exterior landscaping (including, but not limited to, the type of decking or floor material, plants, planters etc.), subject to limitations in DUO, the Design Guidelines, the RTS Guidelines and applicable Legal Requirements; it being agreed, however, that (except as otherwise expressly provided in this Article 44 [including, without limitation, Section 44.06A(iii) hereof]) from and after Tenant approving (or being deemed to have approved) the RTS Final CDs, any changes thereafter requested by Tenant in respect of the RTS Build-out Work for any reason (including, but not limited to, changes due to value engineering, changes in the design and construction of the structure for the Enclosed Roof Top Space [it being agreed that Tenant shall not be permitted to change the design such that the Enclosed Roof Top Space is not included in such design except as otherwise expressly included herein], exterior landscaping and/or the decking) shall constitute a RTS Change Order and, subject to the provisions of Section 2.02M hereof, Tenant Delay (it being agreed, however, for the purposes of determining the RTS Plan Outside Date that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, including this Section 44.02H and Section 2.02M(ii) hereof, such change(s) need not cause an actual delay in
252
order for the same to constitute Tenant Delay) and (b) Landlord and Tenant shall (and Landlord shall cause the RTS Architect to) meet on a date which is mutually acceptable to Landlord, Tenant and the RTS Architect in order to discuss the RTS Proposed Scope of Work and review the time periods set forth in this Section 44.02 with respect to the delivery of the RTS Proposed Schematics, the RTS Accepted Schematics, the RTS DDDs and the RTS 50% CDs in order to accommodate the delivery to Tenant of the RTS Final CDs to Tenant prior to February 1, 2008 (it being agreed that Landlord and Tenant shall make any modifications to such time periods which are mutually agreed to in such meeting by Landlord, Tenant and the RTS Architect, each acting in good faith).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if, notwithstanding Tenant’s good faith, the RTS Final CDs have not be been approved by February 1, 2008 (as such date shall be extended on a day for day basis due to Tenant Delay), Tenant shall have the right to elect at any time from time to time after February 1, 2008, as the same may be extended as aforesaid (unless the RTS Final CDs have been approved (or deemed approved) by Tenant prior to such election) to require that Landlord no longer retain the RTS Architect for the RTS Build-out Work and, in such instance, Tenant shall retain a RTS Substitute Architect. In the event Tenant so elects, Tenant shall give Landlord not less than twenty (20) days’ prior notice thereof, which notice shall include a list of the names of the proposed RTS Substitute Architect(s). All costs and expenses charged by the RTS Substitute Architect, including the charges of any subcontractors and/or consultants of the RTS Substitute Architect, shall be the sole responsibility of Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense; it being agreed that such costs and expenses shall not be included in the RTS Work Costs. In the event Tenant has retained a RTS Substitute Architect as aforesaid, (i) Tenant shall use good faith efforts to cause the RTS Substitute Architect to deliver the RTS Final CDs consistent with the RTS 50% CDs by no later than August 1, 2009 (as such date may be extended due to Landlord Delay in accordance with the terms hereof) and (ii) as the context requires (but subject to the limitations contained herein) all references to the RTS Architect shall thereafter be deemed to be the RTS Substitute Architect. If, notwithstanding Tenant’s good faith efforts, the RTS Final CDs have not been finalized by February 1, 2009 (as such date may be extended due to Landlord Delay in accordance with the terms hereof), Tenant shall have the right, upon prior notice to Landlord, to revise the RTS Proposed Scope of Work as reflected on the RTS 50% CDs to not include the Enclosed Roof Top Space in the final design for Tenant’s Roof Top Space and, in such event, the RTS Architect or the RTS Substitute Architect, as the case may be, shall promptly deliver, for Landlord’s review and approval (in accordance with Section 13.01 hereof) the RTS Final CDs reflecting such revised design for Tenant’s Roof Top Space (it being agreed that any such revised design as permitted hereunder, in and of itself, shall not constitute Tenant Delay). Tenant acknowledges that any RTS Construction Drawings delivered by the RTS Substitute Architect shall be deemed approved by Tenant upon the delivery thereof by Tenant and/or the RTS Substitute Architect to Landlord.

44.03
Bid Package and Bidders; Long Lead Items.
A.
Tenant and Landlord agree that the general construction contract for the RTS Build-out Work and the purchase of the necessary materials therefor will be awarded by Landlord in consultation with Tenant and subject to the terms of Section 44.02H hereof. Landlord’s request for bids shall include such items that Landlord reasonably requires to complete the RTS Build-out Work in accordance with the RTS Final CDs and otherwise comply with the provisions of the Unit Ground Lease, including, but not limited to, satisfying the requirements set forth in Article XXIX thereof.
B.
Landlord’s bid proposal for the RTS Build-out Work shall be Competitively Bid and shall further require that such bids be sent to both Landlord and Tenant not later than six (6) weeks after Landlord’s request for a bid (the “RTS Bid Period”). Landlord may, at its option, disregard any bids not submitted in a timely manner. Landlord shall accept one of such bids within ten (10) Business Days after the end of the RTS Bid Period, and Landlord may, in its reasonable discretion, accept (in consultation with Tenant) such bid that Landlord reasonably believes is from the lowest, most responsive and responsible bidder (the “RTS Lowest Most Responsive Bidder”). Tenant acknowledges that Landlord may consider all relevant factors in Landlord’s reasonable discretion in determining which bid to accept, including, but not limited to, price, reputation, experience and timing and such other reasonable factors which may affect the performance of the RTS Build-out Work in a timely manner (including, without limitation, the time proposed by the RTS Contractor to complete the work), potential impact on the Base Building Work and the expected quality of the work.
C.
Landlord will Competitively Bid for the manufacture and delivery of any Long Lead Items relating to the RTS Build-out Work. Tenant and Landlord agree that the contract for the manufacture and delivery of any Long Lead Items shall be awarded by Landlord to the RTS Lowest Most Responsive Bidder. Landlord shall order any Long Lead Items after the vendor therefor is selected in accordance with the terms hereof; it being agreed that any delay in the performance of the RTS Build-out Work that results from (i) any delay in the shipment of any Long Lead Item and/or (ii) Tenant’s request, after completion and approval of the RTS Accepted Schematics, for any additional Long Lead Items which (a) constitute a modification to the RTS Proposed Scope of Work upon which the RTS Accepted Schematics are based (as opposed to an item set forth on the RTS Accepted Schematics which Landlord and Tenant failed to identify as a Long Lead Item prior to the approval thereof) and (b) require additional time to perform or lead time to obtain, shall, subject to the provisions of Section 2.02M hereof, constitute a Tenant Delay hereunder.
D.
All costs and expenses relating to the Long Lead Items ordered in connection with RTS Build-out Work, including, but not limited, any costs relating to the storage of any Long Lead Items (on or off-site) and any insurance relating thereto shall be included in the RTS Work Costs.
E.
Landlord represents that the RTS Build-out Work shall be performed in compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements and upon completion thereof will be in compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements.
254
44.04
RTS Build-out Work Phase.
A.
After the awarding of the contract for the RTS Build-out Work, Landlord shall cause the RTS Contractor to perform the RTS Build-out Work in accordance with the RTS Final CDs (as the same may be modified as a result of field conditions or RTS Change Orders as provided herein or other changes thereto as may be mutually agreed upon by Landlord and Tenant or as otherwise permitted hereunder), with due diligence and continuity, subject to delays due to Force Majeure and/or Tenant Delay. Tenant acknowledges that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any incomplete Base Building Work shall have absolute priority over the RTS Build-out Work but the foregoing shall not relieve Landlord of its obligation to cause RTS Build-out Work to be commenced and prosecuted with due diligence in accordance with the terms hereof.
B.
At or prior to the commencement of the RTS Build-Out Work, Landlord shall construct and maintain a temporary enclosure around the RTS Shuttle Elevator Work Area in accordance with the specifications reasonably designated therefor by Tenant. During the performance of the RTS Build-out Work Tenant acknowledges that Landlord shall have exclusive access (without the same constituting a Landlord Delay) to the RTS Shuttle Elevator Work Areas through the 49th and 50th floors of the Building during the performance of the RTS Build-out Work; it be agreed that Tenant shall not be entitled to any rent credit or abatement during the period of any such exclusive access. If Tenant interferes in any way (other than to a de minimis extent) with Landlord’s exclusive access as aforesaid during such exclusive period, the same shall, subject to the provisions of Section 2.02M hereof, constitute a Tenant Delay.
C.
There shall be no “substitutions” for any item of the RTS Build-out Work without the prior consent of Tenant, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that it shall not be reasonable for Tenant to withhold consent for any substitution where the item being substituted for will not be available in time to complete RTS Build-out Work on schedule (and was ordered timely) provided (i) the same is of substantially equal or better quality and performance characteristics (including projected costs of operation and maintenance) than the item being substituted for, (ii) the item relates to structural, MEP, infrastructure or similar non-aesthetic components of the RTS Build-out Work and (iii) the same does not increase the RTS Work Costs by more than a de minimis extent . For purposes hereof, the term substitutions means a change in product, materials, equipment or method of construction as shown or described in the RTS Final CDs. Within five (5) Business Days after Tenant’s receipt of a request for a substitution, Tenant shall either consent to such substitutions or give Landlord and the RTS Architect notice setting forth any specific objections that that Tenant may have to thereto. In the event that Tenant fails to timely give such notice, the substitutions shall be deemed to be approved.
D.
In no event shall Landlord be permitted to include the costs of overtime or premium pay labor incurred in respect of the RTS Build-out Work in the RTS Work Costs unless (i) Tenant so requests the same, (ii) the item(s) of work in question are required under applicable Legal Requirements to be performed on an overtime or premium pay labor basis, (iii) the work involves tie-ins to Base Systems, (iv) the work is of such a nature that if it were a Tenant Change, it would constitute “Prohibited Work” and/or (v) the nature of the work is such that it adversely affects another tenant’s or occupant’s use of space in the Building or adversely affects
255
the Common Elements, the FC Limited Common Elements, the NYTC Limited Common Elements or the Building common areas, in each instance under this clause (v), beyond a de minimis extent; it being agreed that, in any of such events, the reasonable, out-of-pocket costs incurred on account of performing any such work on a premium pay or overtime basis shall be permitted to be included in the RTS Work Costs.
E.
Except for the RTS Build-out Work, Landlord shall have no obligation to alter, improve, or otherwise prepare Tenant’s Roof Top Space or, if leased by Tenant hereunder, the 51st Floor Space, for Tenant’s use.
F.
Subject to the limitations contained in Section 2.01 hereof, Tenant shall be permitted to access Tenant’s Roof Top Space to inspect the RTS Build-out Work.
44.05
RTS Change Orders.
A.
Tenant may request, by the delivery of notice to Landlord, that the RTS Contractor perform additional work, delete work and/or change any work shown on the RTS Final CDs (each, a “RTS Change Order”) in connection with the RTS Build-out Work, provided that such RTS Change Order shall not, in the good faith opinion of Landlord, delay and/or interfere with completion of the Base Building Work or Landlord’s operation of the Building or the proper functioning of any Base System or work for or by any other tenant or occupant of the Building beyond a de minimis extent. Such request shall set forth in reasonable detail the nature and proposed scope of the RTS Change Order. Within ten (10) Business Days following Landlord’s receipt of such notice (it being agreed that such period shall be extended to fifteen (15) Business days if plans and specifications must be prepared in order to obtain cost estimates), Landlord shall deliver notice to Tenant (the “RTS Change Order Response Notice”) setting forth in good faith (i) the estimated cost of such RTS Change Order and (ii) the estimated length of the Tenant Delay (if any) on account of the performance of such RTS Change Order. If the RTS Change Order Response Notice shall provide that the performance of the RTS Change Order may cause a Tenant Delay, Tenant shall have five (5) Business Days after Tenant’s receipt of the RTS Change Order Response Notice to confirm in writing its request for such RTS Change Order to be performed. If Tenant fails to timely confirm such request, such request shall be deemed to be withdrawn and null and void and neither Landlord nor RTS Contractor shall have any obligation to perform or cause the performance of such RTS Change Order. For the purposes of this Section 44.05, any Tenant request that premium labor be used in order to accelerate Substantial Completion of the RTS Build-out Work shall be deemed a RTS Change Order.
B.
If Tenant timely confirms (as required under Section 44.05A hereof) that the RTS Change Order shall be performed, all costs and expenses relating to such RTS Change Order shall be included in the RTS Work Costs.
C.
If the performance of any RTS Change Order causes any delay in Substantial Completion of the RTS Build-out Work by the reasonably estimated completion date therefor, such delay shall be deemed to be a Tenant Delay (subject to the notice requirements for Tenant Delay set forth in Section 2.02M hereof) for all purposes of this Lease, regardless of whether (i) the RTS Change Order Response Notice stated that the performance thereof would
256
cause a Tenant Delay or (ii) the RTS Change Order Response Notice underestimated the length of the actual Tenant Delay that would result therefrom; it being acknowledged that Tenant shall in no event be permitted to arbitrate or otherwise challenge such estimate set forth in the RTS Change Order Response Notice.
D.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) the parties hereto acknowledge that any request by Tenant for the performance of any RTS Change Order may cause a Tenant Delay, whether or not such RTS Change Order is actually performed (i.e., Landlord may be required, consistent with good construction practices and/or scheduling, to cease and/or delay the performance of a portion of the RTS Build-out Work until it has been determined, upon and subject to the terms of Section 44.05A hereof, whether such RTS Change Order shall be performed) and (ii) accordingly, if any such request by Tenant for the performance of a RTS Change Order (regardless of whether such RTS Change Order is performed) causes any such cessation or delay, then the same delay shall be a Tenant Delay (subject to the notice requirements for Tenant Delay set forth in Section 2.02M hereof).
44.06
Delay.
A.
Supplementing the provisions of Section 2.02M(ii) hereof, with respect to the RTS Build-out Work, Tenant Delay shall also include any actual delay caused by Tenant, any Tenant Party, Tenant’s Construction Team or Tenant’s Construction Representative in the design, approval, award, authorization or performance of the RTS Build-out Work, including the following:
(i)
Tenant’s written direction to Landlord, Landlord’s Construction Representative or the RTS Contractor that any segment or part of the RTS Build-out Work be delayed or Tenant’s request that any portion of the RTS Build-out Work be performed in an out-of-sequence manner not consistent with good construction practices (i.e., the acceleration of a segment of such work);
(ii)
Tenant’s request, after completion and approval of the RTS Accepted Schematics or any RTS Construction Drawings required to be delivered subsequent thereto, for any materials, finishes, installations, improvements, equipment or other work which constitute Long Lead Items or RTS Change Orders;
(iii)
any delay in the award of the of the construction management agreement or any contract, subcontract, purchase order or other agreement in respect of the RTS Build-out Work resulting from any reduction or modification in the scope of the RTS Build-out Work subsequent to Landlord’s request for and receipt of the bids for such work, provided such bids are substantially within the amount (exclusive of contingencies) set forth in the last estimate for the RTS Build-out Work as last approved (or deemed approved) by Tenant (it being agreed that for the purposes hereof “substantially within” shall mean 110% or less (exclusive of contingencies));
257
(iv)
any additional time to Substantially Complete the RTS Build-out Work and/or the Base Building Work caused by any RTS Change Orders, including the design, approval and permitting thereof;
(v)
the performance of work by a contractor (other than the RTS Contractor), vendor or employee of Tenant which delays completion of the RTS Build-out Work and/or the Base Building Work;
(vi)
any interference by Tenant, any Tenant Party or any contractor, vendor or employee of Tenant with work being performed in the RTS Shuttle Elevator Work Area;
(vii)
any delay in the RTS Build-out Work on account of Tenant’s designation of a new or replacement Construction Representative; and/or
(viii)
if (a) any dispute with respect to any matter relating to RTS Build-out Work causes any delay in the Substantial Completion of the RTS Build-out Work and (b) such dispute is resolved by arbitration as permitted hereunder, then such delay shall be deemed Tenant Delay if the Arbitrator selected the position proposed by Landlord.
B.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if there is a delay in the Substantial Completion of the RTS Build-out Work, or any portion thereof, due to any Force Majeure or Tenant Delay, any additional out-of-pocket cost to Landlord directly related to the completion of the RTS Build-out Work occasioned by such delay shall be included in the RTS Work Costs. In the event of one (1) or more Tenant Delays, Tenant agrees that the RTS Commencement Date shall be accelerated by a number of days equal to the number of days of such Tenant Delay(s) and the RTS Commencement Date shall be deemed to have occurred on such earlier date.
C.
(i)
Subject to extension due to Force Majeure and Tenant Delay, Landlord agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the RTS Ready for Occupancy Conditions to be satisfied by the reasonably estimated completion date therefor as specified in the general contract with the RTS Contractor (as such date may be extended in accordance with the terms hereof, the “RTS Target Delivery Date”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, but subject to the provisions of Section 44.06C(iii) hereof:
(A)
if the RTS Ready for Occupancy Conditions have not been satisfied (or deemed satisfied) as provided herein by the date which is sixty (60) days following the RTS Target Delivery Date solely by reason of Landlord not diligently and good faith causing the RTS Contractor to timely perform the RTS Build-out Work, then as liquidated damages for such delay, and not as a penalty, the RTS Rent Commencement Date shall, subject to the provisions of clauses (B) and (C) of this Section 44.06C(i), be deferred by one and one half (1½) for each day from and after such sixtieth (60th)day until the RTS Ready for Occupancy Conditions have been satisfied (or deemed satisfied) as provided herein;
258
(B)
if the RTS Ready for Occupancy Conditions have not been satisfied (or deemed satisfied) as provided herein by the date which is one hundred twenty (120) days following the RTS Target Delivery Date solely by reason of Landlord not diligently and good faith causing the RTS Contractor to timely perform the RTS Build-out Work, then as liquidated damages for such delay, and not as a penalty, the deferral of the RTS Rent Commencement Date described in clause (A) of this Section 44.06C(i) shall, subject to the provisions of clause (C) of this Section 44.06C(i), from and after such date, be increased to two (2) days for each day from and after such 120th day until the Ready for Occupancy Conditions have been satisfied (or deemed satisfied) as provided herein; and
(C)
if the RTS Ready for Occupancy Conditions have not been satisfied (or deemed satisfied) as provided herein by the date which is three hundred sixty five (365) days following the RTS Target Delivery Date solely by reason of Landlord not diligently and good faith causing the RTS Contractor to timely perform the RTS Work, then as liquidated damages for such delay, and not as a penalty, the deferral of the RTS Rent Commencement Date described in clause (B) of this Section 44.06C(i) shall, from and after such date, be increased to three (3) days for each day from and after such 365th day until the Ready for Occupancy Conditions have been satisfied (or deemed satisfied) as provided herein.
(ii)
It is specifically understood and agreed that solely for purposes of determining the number of days of deferral of the RTS Rent Commencement Date that Tenant may be entitled to under Section 44.06C(i) hereof and/or as a result of any Landlord Delay as provided in Section 2.02N hereof or Force Majeure delays, the parties expressly agree that delays arising from failure to satisfy the Ready for Occupancy Conditions by the applicable dates set forth in Section 44.06C(i) hereof or on account of Landlord Delays or Force Majeure, are not intended to be cumulative (or “double counted”), and that if any of the delays referred to therein occur simultaneously or occur simultaneously with any Landlord Delays or Force Majeure delays, then to the extent of such simultaneous occurrence such delays shall be deemed to run concurrently and not consecutively.
(iii)
The RTS Target Delivery Date shall be extended (A) on a day-for-day basis for each day of (1) Tenant Delay and (2) Force Majeure delays; it being agreed, however, that any such extension of such dates is not intended to be cumulative (or “double counted”), and that if more than one Tenant Delay or more than one Force Majeure event would actually delay Landlord in satisfying the RTS Ready for Occupancy Conditions, but such events and the delays caused by them occur simultaneously, then, to the extent of such simultaneous occurrence, such delays (whether caused by Tenant Delays, by Force Majeure or both) shall be deemed to run concurrently and not consecutively and (B) for a commercially reasonable period of time in the event that RTS Contractor is replaced because the RTS Contractor (1) has either defaulted beyond the expiration of any applicable notice or cure period under the construction contract for the RTS Build-out Work or declared bankruptcy or (2) in the reasonable, good
259
faith opinion of Landlord is not performing the RTS Build-out Work consistent with the requirements under this Lease. In the event Landlord elects to replace the RTS Contractor, Landlord shall give Tenant prior notice thereof and any replacement RTS Contractor shall be subject to the approval of Tenant, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.
(iv)
The liquidated damages provided herein shall be Tenant’s sole and exclusive remedies in the event that Landlord fails to satisfy the Ready for Occupancy Conditions.
44.07

A.
Not later than ninety (90) days after the RTS Build-out Work has been Substantially Completed in accordance with the terms hereof, Landlord shall furnish Tenant with a detailed statement (the “RTS Work Costs Statement”) of the final RTS Work Costs.

If Tenant disputes whether items included in the RTS Work Costs Statement are properly included in the RTS Work Costs, Tenant, upon notice given within thirty (30) days following delivery of the RTS Work Costs Statement may elect to have an Approved Examiner designated (in such notice) by Tenant examine such of Landlord’s books and records as are relevant to the RTS Work Costs Statement, together with reasonable supporting data therefor, such examination to occur during Business Hours and upon at least five (5) Business Days’ prior notice to Landlord, and which shall commence not later than ninety (90) days following the date of Tenant’s notice, as such date may be extended on a day for day basis to the extent Landlord delays Tenant’s access to such books and records following Tenant’s request therefor or due to Force Majeure. As a condition to Tenant’s right to review any such books and records Tenant shall enter into a confidentiality agreement substantially in the same form and content as the Confidentiality Agreement. If Tenant shall not give such notice within such ninety (90) day period, then the RTS Work Costs Statement shall be conclusive and binding upon Tenant.
C.
Pending confirmation of the RTS Work Costs and/or the resolution or any dispute with respect thereto, Tenant shall pay the RTS Fixed Rent Temporary Rate. If Landlord and Tenant are unable to resolve any disagreements concerning the RTS Work Costs Statement within ten (10) days of Tenant’s notice of objection(s), Landlord or Tenant may refer the issue to arbitration in accordance with Section 25.01 hereof.
44.08
Window Washing Equipment. Landlord and Tenant agree to designate mutually acceptable space, each party acting reasonably and in good faith, on the roof in which the window washing rigs or other equipment will be stored so that the same, to the maximum extent reasonably possible, will not be visible from Tenant’s Roof Top Space and, to the extent visible, such visibility shall be minimized to the maximum extent reasonably possible; it being acknowledged that during any period during which such window washings rigs or other equipment are being used to clean the Building the same may be in open view of Tenant’s Roof Top Space.

260
receipt of a written request at least (2) Business Days in advance of such scheduled event, use commercially reasonable efforts to reschedule such use to an alternative date and Landlord agrees to cooperate with Tenant and/or temporarily store such equipment out of sight of Tenant’s Roof Top Space. Tenant acknowledges that the davit arms intended to be installed at the Building with respect to any window washing rigs will be permanently attached to Building areas and may be visible from Tenant’s Roof Top Space and Landlord shall not have liability to Tenant on account thereof.
